Does anyone watch Homeland here? I'm usually not into political stories but I've read about the ratings and the strong cast and am interesting now. Still I'm not very sure...
Would anyone give their opinion about this series?

Would anyone give their opinion about this series?
come now, my child. if we were planning to harm you, do you think
we'd be lurking here beside the path in the darkest part of the forest?
This along with "Walking Dead"and the the "Good Wife" are my top three favorite shows.
You HAVE to watch it. Easily one of the best TV shows ever. Literally ever. Clare Danes kills it and you will be so thankful that all the episodes of the first season have aired.
Get to watch those bastards back to back.
I agree. One day, there was a marathon of Homeland on. And I had heard from friends that it was good so I decided to watch. Great show, I don't know if I would have made it through the first season normally. The suspense would have killed me.
Season 2 doesn't start until September. May have to rewatch the whole season again.
Did you all see the premiere?!?!
It is currently duking it out with "The Good Wife" for best one of Sunday.
Revenge was cute but it didn't hit like Homeland. I'm so torn.
......I'm just... I'm so slayed
I love this show but there's something about Brody's family that kills the momentum and flow of the rest of the show. I don't know if it's the writing or the acting.
I agree. Brody's family annoys me. The daughter is a shit. Always spying or suspecting something. The wife (who I love as an actress, especially in V) storyline is a little off because she is expecting a POW of 8 years just to come back and act like everything is hunky dory. That is the feeling I get from her.
This show is tense! I can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out now that the CIA know about Brody.
The daughter is a fucking cunt. I hate the way she stares off and puts her fingers on her face. Could you imagine being friends with her?
Anyway Clare Danes is coming for those golden globes again next year. She is too sensational
Tell me ya'll have a crush on Danny. Ugh. He is SO HAWT
Best show ever. Well.. one of. It slays me every time I watch it. It's just....
Claire Danes is INCREDIBLE. She's just.. amazing. Perfect show. It's never boring, and always leaves you wanting more. The second season is intriguing - I've just seen episode 2. I can't wait for more!!
I would think that they move on from Brody for next season. I would seriously call bullshit if he somehow is converted to a double agent. I like the actor, but it is time to move on.
Pretty sure Brody is signed on for like ever
The best thing In my head to stretch this out is to now show seasons with Brody under CIA control being a triple agent so to speak but against his will. Everyone vs Abu nazihr (spelling, lord)
Who else wants the VP to find so bad!?!?
quin is hot
don't like carrie hooking up with brody again.
Damn. I was hoping the VP's son would somehow kill Dana. Like going for a walk along a cliff side, and he pushes her off. I know it is brutal but I just can't stand her character and her storyline.
Did anyone see Anne Hathaway Saturday Night Live parody of Homeland? Hilarious...I was cracking up over Dana walking around.
The show has turned into 24 quicker than I expected.
I found out today that Brody was supposed to die in season 1, but the writers were so impressed by the chemistry between Claire Danes and Damian Lewis that they changed the story. There clearly is no direction to the show and they are just throwing anything to the wall.
I have a feeling this season will somehow turn out to be in Carrie's mind due to the electroshock.
The plot holes kill me. On a show where they are surveilling everything, no one thinks to check on the tapped phone of the guy we all know is a terrorist and don't trust. Really?!?!
Love this show so much.
The sex scenes between Claire and Damian are so intense! Love all the plots and everything.
Waiting for the season finale, here in Latinoamerica is only 3 weeks from today!
Good season, but I have this dreadful feeling that they are going to continue along with Brody. I agree with above posters, time to wrap him up. Interesting article I read the other day...we still haven't found the mole in CIA. Some people might think that it is Saul.
^ So the cliff notes are "We have no plan!" I hope they look back at season 1 and see what worked and made this show great.
David Estes had me hard for a good 10 minutes straight.
There I said it

Awards highlight environmental education excellence
The Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE) has announced recipients of their 2006-2007 Excellence in Conservation and Environmental Education awards. Nominated by peers for outstanding leadership and achievement, award recipients work individually and cooperatively within the environmental education field.
"We are thrilled to honor individuals and organizations who give so much of their time and are so dedicated to environmental education in Kansas," said KACEE President and previous Strickler Award recipient Cindy Ford, of Pittsburg State University.
KACEE's John K. Strickler Award is named after one of KACEE's founders and first executive director, John Strickler. It honors the lifetime achievements, contributions, and leadership of individuals in the Kansas conservation and environmental education field. The 2006 recipient of the Strickler Award is Roland Stein, Pratt, who recently retired from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. Stein helped bring Projects WILD and WILD Aquatic to the state and was a leader in the Outdoor Wildlife Learning Sites program, which provides resources for outdoor classrooms to schools.
In addition to the Strickler Award, KACEE Awards are given in several categories and recognize outstanding leadership, achievements, and collaborations by individuals and organizations with at least five years' experience in conservation and environmental education in Kansas. 2006 awards include the following categories:
- Pre-K-16 Educator -- Dr. Valerie Wright, K-State Konza Prairie Biological Station, Manhattan. Wright was the first education coordinator at Konza and has expanded the university program. She also directs the Konza Environmental Education Program.
- Community/Non-Profit Organization -- Kansas Accredited Zoo Educators (KZE). KZE is an informal organization of six accredited Kansas zoos that works to promote a unified voice in conservation and develops resources for other organizations.
- Community/Non-Profit Individual -- Linda Phipps, Southeast Kansas Nature Center at Schermerhorn Park, Galena. Phipps led efforts to restore a 1930s Works Project Association-era Scout building at Schermerhorn Park and develop it into a nature center for schoolchildren and visitors from four states.
- Government -- The WATER Center, Wichita. After a groundwater pollution problem was discovered in downtown Wichita, the Wichita Area Treatment, Education, and Remediation (WATER) Center was founded to remediate the groundwater and educate the public about water issues. The WATER Center offers education programs and demonstrations of cleaning contaminated groundwater.
Recipients will be recognized on Friday, March 30, at the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka. Kevin Willmott, independent filmmaker and professor of film at the University of Kansas, will be the special guest.

It didn't take a last-second rally for the Neosho girls to slip past the Joplin Lady Eagles this time. In fact, this game was nothing like the season opener, which the Lady Wildcats won, 51-48.
It didn't take a last-second rally for the Neosho girls to slip past the Joplin Lady Eagles this time. In fact, this game was nothing like the season opener, which the Lady Wildcats won, 51-48.
This time, on Friday at the 16th Annual Freeman Lady Eagles Classic at Missouri Southern, the Lady Wildcats imposed their will on the Lady Eagles. Neosho dominated the contest in all phases and thumped Joplin, 48-19.
Defense was the key for the Lady Wildcats. After allowing 22 points to Joplin's Bailey Taylor in their last match up, the Lady Wildcats held her to four on Friday. Only three Lady Eagles scored in the game. Samantha Stout hit three 3-pointers to finish with 13 points while Danielle Hollingshead finished with two.
But the main factors in the game were Joplin's turnovers and inability to get shots to fall. Credit the Lady Wildcats' defense for helping created 34 turnovers, including 25 in the first half alone. The Lady Eagles struggled from the floor with an 18.8-percent clip in the first half, and 15-percent efficiency from the floor in the second to finish at 16.7-percent from the floor in the game.
The Lady Wildcats, meanwhile, took advantage of those numbers and turned said miscues into transition points. Chelsey Henry scored 11 of her game-high 15 points in the second quarter alone, with a handful coming on transition baskets.
Morgan Rathmann also had a nice night for the Lady Wildcats, turning in 10 points while Morgan Rogers and Matty Liedtke both tallied six, Corea Lowery and Brooke Stauffer four and Addi Long two.
"I felt like we came out and played with a lot of energy and intensity," Lady Wildcats coach Lance Robbins said.
The Lady Wildcats led 14-2 at the end of the first quarter, and held a 31-9 advantage at the half.
Things didn't go as well for the Lady Wildcats on Saturday, however, as they fell to Nixa to close out the tournament, 56-8.
Less than 24 hours after turning in perhaps their best performance of the season, the Lady Wildcats were slow out of the gate and just never got going.
"I thought the other two games (in the tournament) we were kind of flat when we got started and kind of dug ourselves a hole and just weren't able to get back into it," Robbins said. "We've just got to keep our heads up and keep working hard. I thought we showed signs over the weekend of what kind of basketball team we can be if we keep our heads up."
Henry paced Neosho against Nixa with three points while Rogers and Stauffer both had two and Whitney Wise one.
Jenna Raper paced Nixa with 16 points while Alex Sorenson added 10.
The Wildcats (2-2) travel to take on Monett at 6 p.m. Monday.

Zone One, the highly anticipated fifth novel from MacArthur Fellow Colson Whitehead, hit the shelves and electronic delivery channels yesterday. It deals with the living dead in the city that never sleeps. Here's what people are saying:
"The best book of the fall…Zone One formulates an essential equation: the measure of what we once had versus the hint of what we have left. Whitehead brilliantly reformulates an old-hat genre to ask the epidemic question of a teetering history — the question about the possibility of survival."
—Tom Chiarella, Esquire
"Everything comes to life in this perfectly paced, horrific, 40-page finale shot through with grim comedy and desolate wisdom about the modern age in all its poisonous, contaminating rage. It's a remarkable episode, drenched in the matinee carnage of classic horror but elevated by the power of Whitehead's prose to the level of those other ash-covered nightmares imagined by T.S. Eliot, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Cormac McCarthy."
—Ron Charles, The Washington Post
"When I was a youngster, comic books and novels such as Lucifer's Hammer and The Stand provided models of the apocalypse, but movies were my true primer — the glorious feel-bad dystopian flicks of the 1960s and 1970s. The inexplicable monsters of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead were my template for this book, as they are for everything we currently categorize as a zombie text."
—Colson Whithead, interviewed in Harper's

Lady Liberty and Ellis Island remain closed in Sandy's wake
NEW YORK (CNN) — Superstorm Sandy left the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island national monuments with enough infrastructure damage to keep them closed, the National Park Service said Wednesday.
Both locations have been closed since October 29, when a rare mix of converging, destructive weather made landfall in the Northeast.
At Liberty Island in New York Harbor, both the visitor and National Park Service docks sustained significant damage, the agency said.
On Ellis Island in Upper New York Bay, water filled the basement of the Immigration Building, while there was also significant damage to mechanical systems and the building's fire suppression system.
It is not clear when both locations will reopen.

Solar Dynamics Observatory [1]
The weather outside may be frightful at this time of year, but out in space, it's pretty delightful. That's because the Sun is quiet, and it's been that way for a while. It's starting to get a little more active, though, which could stir up the space weather over the next few years.
NASA plans to keep an eye on the space weather with a new satellite: SDO, the Solar Dynamics Observatory. It's designed to help scientists understand more about how the Sun affects conditions here on Earth.
SDO will pay special attention to the Sun's magnetic field -- the motions of hot gas that generate the field, how the field extends into space, and how it interacts with Earth's magnetic field.
That interaction is known as space weather. And like the weather here on Earth, it can get stormy.
When the Sun nears the peak of its 11-year magnetic cycle, it bombards us with electrically charged particles. They can fry satellites and power grids, knock out communications, and cause many other problems. And because our society relies on electronics for communications, business transactions, and much more, disruptions can cost billions of dollars -- and can even threaten lives.
The Sun has been at the low point of its magnetic cycle for several years, so the space weather has been calm. Scientists expect the cycle to peak in 2013, though, so the weather is already starting to get more active -- just in time for SDO to keep an eye on things.

NEW YORK – Scientists say they've found evidence that stone tips for spears were made much earlier than thought, maybe even created by an earlier ancestor than has been believed.
Both Neanderthals and members of our own species, Homo sapiens, used stone tips, which made more lethal hunting weapons. The new findings suggest that maybe they didn't invent that technology, but inherited it from their last shared ancestor. That would be Homo heidelbergensis (hy-dil-ber-GEN-sis).
The study concluded that a collection of stone tips from South Africa was half-a-million years old. That's 200,000 years older than stone tips found elsewhere.
The work was published Thursday by the journal Science.

Denise Panaligan, a UCLA sophomore, didn't tell her mother where she was headed Wednesday morning. She knew that if she told the truth, her mother would worry.
Panaligan, in blue jeans and white T-shirt, boarded a bus and traveled to Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles, where she met up with her friend Anthony Ng. They were the only two Asian Americans at an immigration reform rally conducted in English and Spanish.
Panaligan, 19, confessed to me that she was nervous.
Because she had never stood up in public and admitted that she and her family had moved here a decade ago from the Philippines without papers. Like many of her peers who came to the United States as children, Panaligan had no idea she was undocumented until she was ready to apply for college and needed a Social Security number.
But on Wednesday, when the master of ceremonies called her name, Panaligan pushed back her fear and stepped to the microphone.

Kan. Asks Judge To Reject Challenge to Abortion Coverage Law
July 10, 2012 — Attorneys representing Kansas' insurance commissioner submitted court filings on Friday arguing that a state law barring abortion coverage in private health plans "does not impose an undue burden" on women, the AP/Lawrence Journal World reports.
Attorneys for Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger urged U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson to uphold the law and reject a challenge from the American Civil Liberties Union of Kansas and Western Missouri before the case goes to trial (Hanna, AP/Lawrence Journal World, 7/7).
Last month, ACLU of KSWMO filed a claim asking Robinson to strike down the law. According to ACLU's filing, "The Act does nothing to inform a woman's choice; rather it obstructs it. It also does nothing to protect a woman's health; in fact, it endangers it. It does not reduce the cost of health insurance in any meaningful way. Nor does it have anything to do with ensuring that individuals are not forced to 'subsidize the cost' of another person's abortion or any of the other rationalizations Defendant has conjured up" (Women's Health Policy Report, 6/19).
Praeger's lawyers also submitted a legal memo that argued the law did not obstruct a woman's choice to have an abortion. The memo states, "Because the law does not impose an undue burden on a woman's ability to make a decision to have an abortion, the balancing and resolution of the various interests in this particular setting is most appropriately left to the political process and our elected leaders" (AP/Lawrence Journal World, 7/7).

Baltimore-based RTKL Associates Inc. recently beat two international rivals to win a contract to design an iconic structure for a city along the Yangtze River in China.
Last winter, RTKL and two other architectural firms — one British, the other French — were invited by a real estate subsidiary of Chinese steel conglomerate Jiangsu Shagang Group to submit plans for a twin-tower, mixed-use project in Zhangjiagang, a city of about 1.5 million people 60 miles west of Shanghai.
RTKL won with a design for two high-rise towers connected by an elliptical atrium. A 64-story hotel and extended-stay apartment building, to be operated by Marriott, will be the tallest structure in the city, which prides itself on its green, open spaces.
The atrium, a three-level shopping, dining and entertainment center, was designed as a community gathering spot and will connect with a 42-story office tower.
Developers also plan eventually to build a dense mix of 16 buildings for residential and retail use, though an architect has not yet been chosen for that project.
The development is representative of the many projects — often with office, shopping, hotel and multifamily living space — that are sprouting in cities of all sizes across China to satisfy still-growing demand, said Keith Campbell, vice president of RTKL. Municipal officials hope the project will help create a new commercial hub and lure visitors to Zhangjiagang, he said.
RTKL, designer of the Hilton Baltimore Convention Center hotel and Arundel Mills mall — as well as the first enclosed shopping mall on the East Coast, Harundale Mall in Glen Burnie, built in the mid-1950s — has been expanding in China.
The global architectural firm, which opened a Shanghai branch in 2003, opened an office in Beijing last year and is now designing multiple mixed-use projects in the country.
Chicago-based Campbell, who is leading the design team for Zhangjiagang Twin Towers, spoke with The Baltimore Sun last week about the project and opportunities in China.
How does this project compare to others under way in China?
It's a good-sized project in China, at 2.5 million square feet. Hardly any [projects under way] in the U.S. are that large, but in China there are many.
How would you characterize the commercial real estate market in China?
The commercial real estate market is still very strong and has been for a number of years. There is so much attention and resources being devoted to development by the government. It's remarkable in terms of growth. Lots of economists say China's rate of growth can't keep going at 8 percent to 10 percent a year, and we and others expect a slowdown. But still, given the population and the demand of that population, even if the growth rate slowed considerably it's still a strong market.
What kinds of opportunities has your firm seen in China?
The Shanghai office has been growing and doing well … and we recently opened an office in Beijing [after purchasing a firm there]. What we see mostly are mixed-use projects. It's rare to see a single office building or a single shopping center. There is a potential slowdown in the future, but so far we haven't seen it in our workload or demand for services. There is still lots of transition of population between rural and urban [areas], and there's still demand for housing. Recently we're seeing it in second- and third-tier cities.
This will be the largest new project in Zhangjiagang, although we did see … lots of residential construction, both high-end townhouses and villa construction, as well as high-rise residential.
What were you asked to do for this competition?
They were looking for a signature element on the skyline, but also looking for thoughtful master planning — how this [project] might relate to the existing city and future developments. [But] Chinese clients don't give you a lot of direction in what they're looking for in the architecture.
What was the firm's approach in designing the project?
We visited the site a couple of times early on and wanted to understand what urban forces were going on around this site. It helped us to shape the buildings and provide design solutions. Across the street is a new cultural center … and a small commercial district is on the other side of the street. This site and project is a municipal effort to move the central business district away from the old center to a new part of town. This will be the first new commercial hub for the new part of town.
How would you describe the end result?
It's a forward-looking, contemporary design. China is all about planning for the future. That's why they are devoting resources to infrastructure. They're designing for 50 years from now.

Kevin Durant scored 27 of his 41 points in the second half and the Oklahoma City Thunder became the NBA's first 30-game winner of the season with a 102-90 victory over the Suns on Monday night in Phoenix.
Russell Westbrook added 36 for the Thunder, but it was Durant who took over in his fourth 40-point game of the season, scoring 19 in the fourth quarter and falling 1 shy of the season-high 42 he scored two games earlier against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Durant and Westbrook accounted for 47 of Oklahoma City's 51 second-half points.
The Thunder won their fourth straight, the last three on the road to improve their NBA-best record to 30-8. Durant scored 33 Sunday night in an 87-83 win at Portland.
Shannon Brown scored 21 for the Suns. Marcin Gortat had 19 points and 15 points, but was the unfortunate would-be defender on Durant's spectacular dunk late in the game.
Down, 68-54, after Westbrook's layup, the Suns finished the third quarter with a 14-4 run, cutting it to 72-68 on Michael Beasley's 3-pointer with 3.3 seconds left in the period. But the Suns never got any closer.
Durant opened the fourth quarter with a fastbreak layup, sank a 19-footer, then followed with a 3-pointer and the Thunder led, 79-72. Westbrook's 3-pointer put Oklahoma City up, 87-77, with 4:49 to play, then Durant put on a final show.
He sank a 3-pointer, followed with a 19-footer, then scored on a layup. The spectacular finish came on Oklahoma City's next possession when he drove the lane and soared over Gortat for the dunk. Gortat fouled him and Durant made the free throw to put the Thunder up, 97-81, with 2:23 to play.
Jazz 104, Heat 97 — Al Jefferson scored 23 points, Gordon Hayward added 22 — including a key jumper with 40 seconds remaining — and host Utah held on to beat Miami.
The Heat were down 21 points in the third quarter but fought back to pull within 2 behind a 32-point effort by LeBron James. However, James was called for goaltending and an offensive foul on back-to-back possessions late, then missed a 3-pointer with Miami down 6 with 2:19 left.
Wizards 120, Magic 91 — Emeka Okafor had 19 points and 11 rebounds, leading six players in double figures for host Washington in its rout of Orlando, the Wizards' third straight win.
The Wizards were just 4-28 before their streak, but beat Oklahoma City, Atlanta, and now Orlando — all at home — to nearly double their win total. Washington leaves Tuesday on a five-game, eight-day road trip while the nation's capital will be consumed by Inauguration ceremonies.
Bulls 97, Hawks 58 — Carlos Boozer scored 20 points, Luol Deng added 18, and Chicago held visiting Atlanta to a franchise-low 20 points in the first half.
Reserve forward Mike Scott scored 9 points as none of Atlanta's starters reached double figures. Josh Smith and Kyle Korver also had 9 points.
The Bulls held the Hawks to 5 points in the second quarter and led, 48-20, at the break. Teague's layup with 7.9 seconds left prevented the Hawks' lowest-scoring total in franchise history.
Clippers 99, Grizzlies 73 — Reserves Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes each scored 16 points, and visiting Los Angeles easily routed Memphis even with Chris Paul missing his first game because of a bruised right kneecap.
The matchup between two of the best teams in the West wasn't close much of the way. The Grizzlies were without their leading scorer Rudy Gay, who was excused to attend his grandmother's funeral in Baltimore. Zach Randolph had 15 for Memphis, which lost its second straight.
Mavericks 113, Timberwolves 98 — Darren Collison led six players in double figures with 23 points and host Dallas matched its season high with a third straight win.
The Mavericks overcame an early spark from former Dallas guard J.J. Barea, who led the Timberwolves with 21 points.
Kings 124, Cavaliers 118 — DeMarcus Cousins had 26 points and 14 rebounds and host Sacramento beat Cleveland to snap a four-game losing streak.
Reserve Dion Waiters scored a career-high 33 points for the Cavaliers.

A GfsForceDrag is one of the type of forces that can be exerted on Lagrangian particles (GfsParticle) part of a GfsParticleList. As its name suggest it sets the drag force acting on a Lagrangian particle.
The syntax for GfsForceDrag as part of the GfsParticleDrag syntax is:
GfsParticleList ... GfsParticle ... { GfsForceDrag Cd }
where Cd is the drag coefficient of the particle (double).
For developers the object hierarchy for GfsForceDrag is:
- GtsSListContainee
- GfsParticleForce
- GfsForceCoeff
- GfsForceDrag

I've been absent from the blog a bit the past few weeks, and for good reason. On one hand, I've been super busy with work. On the other hand, I've been riding. A lot. In 2.5 weeks, I've ridden well over 500 miles. That's a new personal record.
Friday night, I linked up with Hand of Midas to explore the roads around Plano…roads that he's been hyping for some time. It was quite a fun night. Nighttime, 50 degrees, 50 miles, fog, 1500′ of climbing, moderate headwind for 1/2 the ride, and an honest 'elapsed time' 17mph average, on cross bikes, on gravel, no drafting. We faced suicidal deer, homicidal skunks, and plenty of other wildlife. And we faced quite a few hills (for Illinois) that were fun to blast up. Everything from hero hardpack gravel to hills that were so loose, they were hard to even climb up.
It had been raining all day, so I set up the Vaya in anticipation of puddles.
A quick strap-on fender was a good idea. I'm also experimenting, for the first time, with aero bars. I'm withholding comments on those pending more experience with them.
Based on my positive experience at Night Bison, I was rocking the Camelbak again, with a 1L container. I had a bottle on the bike for backup, and that turned out to be an ideal amount of water. As always, I was sporting MagicShine lights, and in anticipation of upcoming cross, was rocking the Michelin Mud 2s. I'm going to look forward to getting my Cyclocross Speeds back on the bike in a week.
It was a good ride. A hard ride. A fun ride. We both pushed each other a bit, but were never winded. We both rode strong, and well. Beautiful roads and nighttime scenery, great conversations. I ended the ride with my legs drained and my soul refilled. 'Twas a great night. Plano–I'll be back. Fair warning.

Madden at the double in Glovers triumph
In-form striker Paddy Madden struck twice as Yeovil cruised to a comfortable 3-1 win at Shrewsbury.
Madden gave the Glovers the perfect start in the eighth minute. James McAllister whipped in a free kick from the right and Madden, on loan from Carlise, was left totally unmarked to head in at the far post.
Had it not been for a fine save from former Yeovil goalkeeper Chris Weale to push away a sweetly struck 25-yard drive from Keanu Marsh-Brown, Gary Johnson's men would have been further in front by the break.
A tepid Shrewsbury side, missing suspended top scorer Marvin Morgan, carried little threat with their only meaningful chance in the first period falling the way of Asa Hall, who nodded a Paul Parry cross over the bar.
Yeovil doubled their advantage in the 59th minute when Marsh-Brown easily beat Joe Jacobson and crossed for James Hayter to touch home.
And it got even better for the visitors in the 71st minute when Ed Upson's deep cross was headed in by Madden, hardly believing his good fortune.
Shrewsbury struggled throughout and their only bright spot came 10 minutes from time when Matt Richards stroked home a penalty after Tom Bradshaw was barged over by Daniel Johnson.

Nia Coffey of Hopkins blocked a shot by Isieoma Odor in the closing minutes.
Richard Tsong-Taatarii, Star Tribune
Hopkins shows flaws, but still tops Kennedy in girls' hoops
- Article by: JASON GONZALEZ
- Star Tribune
- November 27, 2012 - 11:51 PM
An assessment of the two-time defending state champion's first real test of the season included the words "a lot sloppy." Hopkins coach Brian Cosgriff wasn't thoroughly impressed by his girls' 65-61 victory at Bloomington Kennedy on Tuesday night.
The Royals have "a lot" of sloppy play to clean up, he said after their second game of the season.
Bloomington Kennedy cleaned up a lot of its early mess to make a run at handing the Class 4A champion Royals their first loss. The Eagles trailed 53-38 early in the second half before switching to a zone defense that changed the tempo of the game.
Jade Martin and Kenisha Bell led the turnaround, scoring 24 and 22 points, respectively.
"I think this gives us good feedback on what we need to do to make state and win state," Bell said. "I think we can if we play as a team."
Hopkins held off the surge with the help of its size. Royals 6-4 center Erin O'Toole and 6-1 forward Nia Coffey not only led the team offensively -- O'Toole scored 14 points, Coffey 12 -- but also provided several defensive stops in the final minutes to secure the victory.
Hopkins suffered a blow in the victory. Sophomore guard Viria Livingston was taken to a hospital at halftime because of what a trainer thought to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury in her left knee.
"It was really sad to see that. It affected us." Coffey said holding back tears. "I just told the girls we had to keep going."

Across the Corn Belt, bitterly cold conditions are maintaining stress on livestock in the upper Midwest. Thursday morning's temperatures plunged below 0° in parts of Minnesota and the eastern Dakotas. Cold, breezy conditions cover the remainder of the Midwest, and snow showers linger downwind of the Great Lakes.
On the Plains, mostly dry weather prevails. Isolated snow showers are crossing Montana and the east-central Plains. Cold weather across the majority of the nation's mid-section contrasts with warm, breezy conditions on the southern High Plains. Thursday's high temperatures could reach or exceed 90° in southeastern New Mexico.
In the South, cool, dry weather favors spring fieldwork. However, Freeze Warnings are in effect Thursday morning parts of the Carolinas, as well as northern portions of Alabama and Georgia.
In the West, cool weather prevails across the northern half of the region. A few showers are affecting the Pacific Northwest, while some snow is falling across portions of the northern and central Rockies. Meanwhile, warm, dry weather continues to promote fieldwork in southern California and the Southwest.
For the remainder of Thursday, warmth will be confined to areas from southern California to Texas. Any lingering warmth across the Deep South will be replaced by colder weather during the weekend. By early next week, cold weather will persist nearly nationwide, although warmth will return to California.
During the next several days, a series of disturbances will maintain unsettled conditions across the Northwest, northern and central Rockies, central Plains, and from the Mid-South into the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States.
Five-day precipitation totals could reach 1 to 3 inches in the Southeast, while significant, late-week snowfall can be expected across the central Plains and portions of the Mid-South.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for colder-than-normal conditions east of the Rockies and along the Pacific Coast, while near-normal temperatures will prevail in the West. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the lower Southeast.


text: This is my 8th baby. I always have long labors so I know to expect that, but I've been having early or "false" labor for six days now. Braxton Hicks every 10-15 minutes, sometimes getting painful, non stop for six days. Extreme pelvic/rectal pressure, extreme backache for two days. Even loose stools for the six days. The only time the contractions go away is when I sleep (unless I'm just not noticing them) although they do wake me in the night sometimes. At my dr. appt. yesterday I was 3cm, 60% and -1 to 0 station and she said I'm still pretty thick. (not sure what she meant by that) One week ago I was 2cm, 60% and -2 station. I'm wondering if I should do anything to hasten this process or just be patient. I feel an urge to be alone and quiet but with 7 children it's impossible! Do you think my body is trying to go into labor but I keep getting stressed and that's stopping it? (I have alot of stressors right now including an injured husband, financial difficulties due to that, etc.) My doc wants to induce in 3 days with Cervidil in the evening, then break my water and start pitocin in the morning. I DO NOT want to do this. That is making me even more stressed. I even read that Cervidil is not for women who've had more than 6 term babies. (all mine have been term) Sorry this is so long, just trying to give as much details as possible. I'm so stressed and exausted from this. Thanks for your help.

- Red Bull
Title not won in Melbourne - Mateschitz
Dietrich Mateschitz has played down Red Bull's early struggles in Jerez, insisting a slow start in the championship would not spell the end of the team's title ambitions.
Red Bull suffered a nightmare start to pre-season, chalking up just 21 laps in Jerez as they were hit with numerous problems throughout the week. Teams such as Mercedes and McLaren took big steps forward in Jerez and will arrive at the next test in Bahrain looking to further increase their advantage over the reigning champions.
But team owner Mateschitz is not panicking about Red Bull's struggles to get to grips with the Renault engine - insisting a 19-race calendar means a slow start would not be a disaster.
"A deficit at the beginning of the season does not automatically mean that the world title is lost," Mateschitz told Salzburger Nachrichten. "Even if you come from behind, you still have a chance."
The Austrian also believes it is the Renault engine, and not the RB10, which is the problem.
"Our current problems are not with the team, but in the engine area. The team has more than excellent know-how," Mateschitz said.
"These were the more-or-less expected teething problems with a new engine, which was being tested for the first time on a track. [The RB10] is very positive because it is more than just 'state of the art' again, as can be seen in the details. The moment of truth will come at the first race in Melbourne."

WIFB Crop Production Report Released
- Written by Tony Hart
- Published in News
(9/21/13) A report released by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation this week included September's Crop Production report.
According to the survey, Wisconsin corn production is forecast at 465 million bushels, up 16 percent from 2012. Based on September 1 conditions, corn yield is forecast at 143 bushels per acre, down 1 bushel from last month's forecast. Soybeans were forecast at 66.8 million bushels, 5 percent below last year's final production. Yield is expected to be 40.0 bushels per acre, down 2 bushels from last month and 1.5 bushels lower than 2012. The report forecasted corn production in the US up less than a percent from last month, but up 28 percent from 2012, soybeans down three percent from August, but up four percent from last year. It's expected the US will harvest just over 89-million acres of corn and nearly 76 and a half million acres of soybeans this year. ~Tony Hart

SARANAC INN - It was like 2011 all over again for golfers Chris Stevens and Bill Kloc.
On Sunday, Sept. 30 at Saranac Inn, the pair successfully defended their title in the 10th annual Eddie Yanchitis Sr. Memorial Golf Tournament by topping a field of some the area's finest golfers.
Stevens, the pro at Saranac Inn, and Kloc, of Clifton Park, matched their winning score from a year ago - a 9-under par 63 - to claim a one-stroke victory in the two-person scramble event that featured a dozen teams. Stevens and Kloc turned in a 32 on the front nine and a 31 on the back on their way tying their tournament record low score from 2011. They finished with eight birdies, one eagle and a single bogey to edge out the runner-up team of Brian Renisch and Chip Wheeler.

"We ham and egged it pretty good," Kloc said. "We had a good partnership. When I didn't hit a good shot, Chris did and vice versa. We both putted well and we both drove the ball well."
Kloc plays at Saranac Inn quite a bit during the summer months, and said he often takes a boat to the course from his family's camp on Upper Saranac Lake. He joked that part of his inspiration to win the tournament this year came from Wheeler, a greenskeeper at the historic layout.
"Chris told me he's not going to get beat by an old man this year," Kloc said. "Talk like that certainly motivated me. We certainly weren't playing for second place."
"Any time I tee it up, I'm looking for a W," Stevens added. "I was a little surprised we matched our score from last year. I didn't think the scores were going to be quite as low playing in cold and rainy conditions. We had a great day. We'll be looking for the three-peat next year."
Renisch, a Lake Placid native who has competing as a golf pro in Texas, and Wheeler could have forced a playoff, had it not been for a 5-foot eagle putt they missed on the par-5, 18th hole.
Two more Lake Placid golfers, Corey Reid and Jim Patterson, who both work at the Whiteface Club, finished in third place with a 66.
The annual tournament raises scholarship funds for students attending Saranac Lake High School.

1. What was your initial thought about the fact that Charlie told Bella Goat Rock wasn't a good place for camping? Did you wonder what else Edward might be doing up there? To be honest i didn't think much of it, i just thought meh. It was only after i read it the secound time that i was like nuh-duh
2. How did you feel about Lauren and her open dislike of Bella? Well, I thought that Lauren ought to go dig a hole and bury her issues.
3. What was your first impression of Jacob Black? Did you like him? Did you get the sense that he was interested in Bella as more than a friend? I thought, cool guy at first. Well I think that everyone saw that Jacob had very intimate feelings for bella.
4. Why do you suppose Jacob didn't believe the legends of his people as readily as Bella did? Because he just isn't really that superstitious and he refuses to be scared silly by something that is supposed to be thousands of years old.
5. Given the fact that the stories about the "cold ones" were true, did you fully expect to see werewolves in the future books? Well, it made it more acceptable when it eventually popped up.

The Indianapolis Colts and first-round pick Bjoern Werner have agreed in principle to a contract, the club announced Wednesday.
The Colts selected Werner with the 24th overall pick in April's draft.
A defensive end at Florida State, Werner will shift to outside linebacker in the Colts' 3-4 scheme.
Werner was named the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year as a junior in 2012 after recording 13 sacks and 42 tackles, including 18 for a loss.

I have been playing around a little bit with C but have come across a problem which I can't seem to get my head around. I have a main file which contains a structure:
- Code: Select all
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "test.h"
struct test
int t1;
int t2;
static struct test t;
int main( int argc, char **argv )
int err = 0;
t.t1 = 0;
t.t2 = 0;
err = test_struct_fnc( &t );
printf("t.t1 = %d\n", t.t1);
printf("t.t2 = %d\n", t.t2);
return 0;
It includes the file test.h which simply contains a function prototype:
- Code: Select all
int test_struct_fnc( struct test *t__i );
This function is then found in test.c:
- Code: Select all
int test_struct_fnc( struct test *t__i )
t__i->t1 = 10;
t__i->t2 = 100;
which simply changes the values of t1 and t2 to 10 and 100 respectively. However, when I compile:
- Code: Select all
gcc -g -c test.c
gcc -g -c main.c
gcc -g -o test.exe test.o main.o
I get an error from test.c saying:
- Code: Select all
test.c:1: warning: 'struct test' declared inside parameter list
test.c:1: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
test.c: In function 'test_struct_fnc':
test.c:3: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
test.c:4: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
I think this is because the structure test is declared in main not in test.c. However declaring the structure to be external - extern struct test; - in test.h doesn't work it still gives the same error.
I thought that perhaps changing struct test to typedef struct test would help, however I can't figure out how to share the type definition across the multiple files? I tried
- Code: Select all
extern typedef test;
In the header file test.h however that gave an error saying it expected a ) before * token in test.c - which makes no sense to me. I just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Made famous by Colombian keeper Rene Higuita, the scorpion kick is that most mythical of football skills.
Sure, bicycle-kicks are seldom seen but often spectacular, and its close relative the scissor-kick can be equally as eye-catching, if a little more common. Paris St-Germain forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic even invented his own last year against England - the so-called propellor kick.
But none are as rare, as mind-blowingly brilliant, and as what-the-hell-was-that crazy as the scorpion kick.
Now, pulling it off as a goalkeeper is awesome - but how about scoring a goal with one?
Because that's what Doxa Katokopias FC star Ricardo Fernandes did. The former-Porto star is his club's captain, and his incredible effort for the Cypriot First Division side is genuinely absurd. The 34-year-old was a Champions League winner with Porto under Jose Mourinho in 2004, and his quality shines through in this effort.
Having the quick thinking to attempt it is one thing, having the skill - and luck - to pull it off is quite another.
Anyway, here it is in all its glory. Enjoy...

Plasmid cloning vectors for gene therapy with phosphohistidine-based oligos
Eukariotic DNA Promoters
- N-6-benzoyl-deoxyadenosine phosphoramidite - Notice the P-N bound indicating the linkage of a phosphonate diester to a benzoyl atom :)
- N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone - A light-inducible phosphohistidine-bound AHL ? A(denosine)TP/cAMP dependent.
- Reminder:
- NHC = (N heterocycle carbene) - Chemical compounds with a N chiral prodrug switch - highly enantioselective molecules
- N = indicates a Nitrogen atom
- P = a Phosphonate (inorganic state) - a compound for oligo synthesis using the nucleoside phosphoramidite method.
- P-N = phosphoramidate (a Nitrogen atom bound to a Phosphonate ester in nucleophilic substitution).
deoxynucleotide synthesis:
- cDNA synthesis building block = deoxynucleoside + 3'-phosphonate = synthetic nucleotide analog (dATP) 1
oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis:
- short 50-200(?) bp restriction endonucleases enzymes for cDNA catalysis/plasmid vector cloning in E. coli
- building blocks for oligonucleotides assembly with phosphoramidites method 1
- see also Oligonucleotide Synthesis
- 1 mutation, 1 oligo assay (phosphoramidite-based oligo synthesis): [1]
M13K07 cloning in E. coli:
- amino-acid sequence signature (Myc epitope tag) = EQKLISEEDL
Orthogonal DNA synthesis with Benzoyl-derived phosphotriester protecting groups (dA)
- note! note! Important: Can you elucidate the reasoning of using an carboxilic acid as protecting group for DNA assembly?
- FIRST PROBABLE PROTECTION GROUP (dA):
- Bz = Benzoyl (Bz, benzoic acid ester) : 2nd step in the catalysis of Benzilic acid from oxidation of Benzoic acid. See "benzoic acid". A very common [reagent] for site-directed oligonucleotide synthesis.
- Note: Consensus promoter sequences are by definition strong promoters!
- 2ND HIGHLY PROBABLE PROTECTION GROUP (araBAD):
- 2-cyanoethyl : for protecting phosphoramidites based nucleosides? XXX
- araBAD XXX
- phosphotriester = a tricyclic N-derived nitrogenous base bound to a Histidine residue made for DNA synthesis.
- FIRST PROBABLE PROTECTION GROUP (dA):
- Thus phosphohistidine based phosphoramidates can be classified as purine analogues; the substance (Purines) was formally discovered by Emil Fischer during WW1 as a fundamental group of heterocyclic amino acids.

Attempting to kill the world is fun. And sort of addictive. Plague Inc., by Shacker jamiejme and Ndemic Creations, launched for Android devices yesterday after holding the top slot over on the iOS marketplace for quite some time. Essentially, the game boils down to a handheld version of the movie Contagion, except in this case you will tailor the symptoms, evolution, and spread of the disease. Design something terrible, and unleash it upon the world.
It's really a fun game. Play it this weekend if you need something to do!
(Click any editor's name to visit their Twitter page. Follow Shacknews on Twitter for regular updates.)
- Garnett Lee: Busy weekend ahead but I hope to find some solid time to get in with Dishonored and my Vault Hunter ways continue to demand my attention on Pandora in Borderlands 2.
- John Keefer: [Away for the weekend]
- Andrew Yoon: I'm going to spend some time playing as Agent 47 in the new Hitman: Absolution.
- Alice O'Connor: Haven't the foggiest!
- Jeff Mattas: [Away covering IndieCade]
- Steve Watts: I'll be devoting most of my weekend to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. If I have a few moments to spare, I'll probably keep trying (unsuccessfully) to take down fully grown cows as a common house cat in Tokyo Jungle.
- Ozzie Mejia: Things are heating up in Tyria, so I'll spend some more time with Guild Wars 2 before Pokemon Black and White Version 2 gets me in its clutches.
- Tyler J. Smith: Plague Inc. looks like its going to take up most of my time as I try to evolve something worthy of being a humanity killer, and otherwise I'm watching a ton of Dota 2 videos to learn what to do before playing my first game.

I'm 20 but I don't really know how old I "feel" because I don't know what 20 is supposed to feel like. I just consider myself an adult because I can be mature when I need to be but I can still be immature and have fun whenever I'm not in a situation that requires me to be serious. Which in my opinion that's all that really separates the adults from the kids is knowing when and where to be silly and immature and when and where not to. Age is just a number, not a rule book.
Apostles, impostors, Foul whores and putrid posers
I'm 18 but i feel like i'm in my 40's. Due to medical issues i have a constant pain in my back that wont go away. My family has a history of getting gray hair early and started to get mine around a year ago(only have a few so don't go thinking that half of my hair is gray). I seem to be bothered by the way kids act today even if they're are only like a few years younger than me, i also prefer to talk to people that are older than me or have around the same maturity level. All around i feel that my body and personal preferences feel as that of an older person.
Probably watching anime.
23, feel.. 14/15ish?
i've felt that age since 12, so i've never aged mentally.
dA:used-rugs_______pixiv id=683696
23 feel 16 most times mainly because i'm random and hyper and most people say i drive recklessly though other times i feel like i'm 30 or so because i can be very serious and most kids listen to me and respect me from ages 17 and down.
If I had to choose I would still choose to be crazy over sane.
I'm 14, but I feel like I'm 99
I'm 17 but I feel like I'm 80 because I have arthritis. It sucks.
[Enter life resembling quote here]
I'm 19 and I feel like a 15 year old due to my identity problems..
17, 17, because I'm 17.
I'm 22 and still feel 17 because my body is the same and I doesn't feel like much has changed.
I am 19, but I feel like I'm 16. This is due to the fact that I'm slacking in school, acne is my greatest enemy(of course), and most of my friends are immature.
16, but I feel like 30. All my friends say I look too old for my age.
I'm 29 and unfortunately nothing will change that, yet.
This is an interesting topic and over the years my answer to this question has changed after gaining a further understanding of myself and my life choices. To me there are certain areas where I feel a different age, and how "old" I feel varies based on how I analyze my strengths and weaknesses in those areas.
Physically I feel like an young adult (mid 20's). Mentally I'm the sum of my experiences, 29 it is. Emotionally/socially I realize I struggle with things like anxiety, so in the interest of being critical I'll give myself the general rating of teenager. Finally in regards to more personal things like relationships I'd be an infant for the fact that I've never been in one. I consider myself a constant "work in progress" for sure.
That's my perspective anyway, we're only human. (Unless you don't identify yourself that way. )

SAN FRANCISCO – The early turnovers, the Cardinals were able to handle. The late ones, they could not.
That was Sunday very simply for the Cardinals, after a 32-20 loss to the 49ers in their final trip to Candlestick Park. They played better than they had in a few years in San Francisco, but in the end, "I don't give a damn about playing close," coach Bruce Arians said.
"I'm not going to sleep at all," Fitzgerald said. "I let my team down."
Said Arians, "We had the game in hand. … It was self-inflicted wounds."
On top of everything, defensive end
The game was a whirlwind of important moments. Twice early the Cardinals (3-3) overcame bad
Tight end Vernon Davis had seven catches for a career-high 171 yards and two touchdowns for the 49ers in the first half alone, and Fitzgerald battled through a bad right hamstring to have a season-best 117 yards on six catches.
But the game ultimately turned on a late sequence that started with Fitzgerald's fumble.
The Cardinals were playing arguably their best quarter of the season in the third. Mixing in the run well – the Cards ran for a season-high 109 yards – the Cards had already cut the lead to 22-20 on a
Fitzgerald gained eight yards on a catch on a play from the San Francisco 31, but 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis punched the ball loose from behind and the Niners recovered on their own 11.
Eighteen plays and 89 yards later – many of which were runs between the tackles – San Francisco punched it a touchdown that provided a nine-point bulge. Arians didn't want to hear about the defense wearing down.
"There's no such thing as running out of gas," Arians said. "Just kick somebody's ass and you'll be alright. You'll get off the field."
Two plays after that, Smith fumbled away his only carry of the game, and the Cards – having withstood the Palmer picks – were done.
"It was a hard-fought game and we gave everything we (expletive) had," defensive tackle
"There have been times in my career we have been (in San Francisco) and you just don't feel like you're going to win. This game, we came in confident. Physically, we matched up. It sucks."
Andre Ellington led the Cards with 56 yards rushing on seven carries and
The Cardinals understood this was going to be a difficult week. There is little time to prepare for the Seahawks, but for the first time the Cards will play a Thursday game at home.
But it will be hard to get past the idea the Cardinals messed up an opportunity Sunday by the Bay. It makes the game against the Seahawks crucial if the plan is to stay in the NFC West race.
"When momentum was starting to get on our side a little bit," Palmer said. "We couldn't hold on to the ball.
"You can't come into a place like this and play against a team like this and do that and expect to win."

The Atheist Foundation of Australia defines Atheism as:
"the acceptance that there is no credible scientific or factually reliable evidence for the existence of a god, gods or the supernatural"
Sam Harris is known to "experiment" with personal meditation experiences. Here is what wikipedia has to say about Sam Harris and "spirituality":
"Harris wishes to incorporate spirituality in the domain of human reason. He draws inspiration from the practices of Eastern religion, in particular that of meditation, as described principally by Hindu and Buddhist practitioners. By paying close attention to moment-to-moment conscious experience, Harris suggests, it is possible to make our sense of "self" vanish and thereby uncover a new state of personal well-being."
He talks of mind states, of "not-self" and other terms which the AFA call on their forums "woo-woo".
The reason that the AFA would reject Sam Harris as an atheist is the last 3 words in their definition: "or the supernatural". They see atheism as rejecting not only god/gods (theo) but also the "supernatural", thereby turning atheism into atheiwoowoosm! They staunchly defend their definition beyond and rational logic. Only recently I have understood why that term is in there in the first place. The AFA are in fact, not an atheist organisation but a skeptics organisation. From their website:
" The Atheist Foundation of Australia Inc began in South Australia in 1970 when the members of the Rationalist Association of SA decided that a name change would proclaim their basic philosophy"
So it appears that all they did was change their name but not their "clothes". This deceptive behaviour has caused some confusion on their forums but they still staunchly maintain their stance.
And the great irony in this whole issue? Sam Harris' books are on their recommended reading list!!!

True but Sam Harris claims the effects of meditation on the mind are not scientifically verifiable. Since there is no "credible scientific evidence" that means the AFA's definition of atheism is not satisfied and Sam Harris is not an atheist.
Clearly this definition is flawed. Atheism is the denial of god(s) and that's it - there is no need to include anything else.
Ah sorry, I think there are some missing words in my sentence that have altered the meaning. So let me clarify.
Sam Harris makes some statements about meditation such as when he talks about the self vanishing which science can't verify. This is the problem with verifying the meditative experiences, science doesn't have instrumentation capable of measuring the mind's specific thoughts and/or perceptions.
I'm going to do my clairvoyance thing now... wait for it... wait for it...
I sense a great deal of anger in you... possibly some meditation is in order? :D
Seems your clairvoyance is bunk too. I am not angrier than the next atheist. I do find you annoying, but that's a long way from being angry. The anger ploy is a common thread in my dealings with theists, though. "Why are you so angry at God?" they bleat, as though I was the one with a problem (the conversation often implies that it is a mental one) and that I have to justify myself. Is this a similar attempt to divert attention from the worth of your own claims?
Is that a smiley at the end of your message? If you want to be funny, try doing so without relying on ineffectual visual aids. Smilies are about as sincere as writing "With all due respect..." before writing something disrespectful.
If you want to question my mental state or motives, do so up front and don't play disingenuous games.

DENVER -- A Denver couple accused of starving their four young sons and keeping them in a filthy apartment strewn with cat feces, urine and flies have been advised of felony child abuse charges against them.
The boys are 2, 4, 5 and 6. Documents say all four have been placed in protective care and have undergone hospital exams that found they are malnourished, not toilet trained and can only communicate in grunts.
Thirty-five-year-old Lorinda Baley, who is free on bond, appeared in court for the first time Tuesday dressed in a black pantsuit.
Her husband, 66-year-old Wayne Sperling, is in custody and sat with about a dozen other defendants behind glass. He was dressed in a yellow jail uniform.
They did not enter pleas.
In June 2009 the couple pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child abuse, according to the affidavit first obtained by KMGH-TV. The ABC affiliate also reported that police found clutter and unsanitary conditions at the home last year.
The current charges against the parents come after an investigation that began Sept. 29 when Bailey took her youngest son to St. Joseph's Children's Hospital for a cut on his forehead that she said happened after a fall. An emergency room doctor informed authorities that the child was unwashed and smelled like cigarette smoke, prompting a welfare check by a Denver Human Services case worker. Bruising behind the child's right ear appeared consistent with pinching, the doctor said.
Denver police Officer N. Rocco-McKeel accompanied the case worker to the apartment at her request and reported finding five cats and feces on the floor throughout the apartment and the "strong odor of a decomposing animal." The officer noted that flies covered "every surface" in one room and that he couldn't determine any age or developmental differences between the three eldest children.
The mother said she did not think the apartment was unsafe and denied the boys had any developmental delays. The mother said she had been living alone in a separate unit of the building for the past two months, but still saw the children every day except Saturday and Sunday "when she works too much."
Sperling, meanwhile, told investigators he was unemployed and has been the boys' primary guardian. He intended to begin home schooling the 6-year-old.
He also said the feces on the floor of the apartment was that of the cats'. The affidavit said there was 1-2 inches of cat feces under the bunk bed where the boys slept and the floor was soaked with cat urine.
A doctor with the Family Crisis Center told police that it did not appear that the children regularly visited the doctor and the 5-year-old had no records whatsoever.

All good, but Eau Sauvage is easily my favourite of the three.
Thread: Three Classics ~ Vote Now !
Hard choice, but because I think that the IFRA restrictions have been deleterious to the genre of masculine citruses (without bergamot or oakmoss, they smell emptier).
I recently smelled Eau d'Hadrien, and all I could think was lemon pledge ...
All good, but Eau Sauvage is easily my favourite of the three.
I also like Bois du Portugal, which I prefer over New York in the warmer seasons.
........bumping in the hope more people will vote.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
I didn't vote as I couldn't choose between MDG and CPM but at a push I will now vote Monsieur de Givenchy for it's subtlety.
Much as I admire Eau Sauvage, as a teenager in the seventies in the UK, every second man was wearing this fragrance and it sort of killed it for me
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
Selection verte, bois du portugal
David -
I took the road less traveled and chose the 4th option...all three and more! Each is a wonderful and classic fragrance. I have, respect and enjoy all three of them in both Vintage and recent/current formulations.
I think that they all offer something slightly different to the genre and I find myself adoring the one I am wearing at the time. I did wear Vintage Eau Sauvage to my oldest son's First Communion last May on a warm, sunny day in Northern California. It was fantastic. However, I have also enjoyed Monsieur de Givenchy and Chanel Pour Monsieur on special occasions as well.
You cannot go wrong here...the question is, which one do you find a personal affinity with most (if you were forced to choose)? For me, I am lucky and Blessed - as I get to choose which to wear (Vintage or Newer reformulation)...along with other timeless citrus scents including Acqua di Parma (various bottlings), Armani Eau Pour Homme (Vintage & Current), YSL Pour Homme (Vintage and Recent, but not current) as well as YSL Pour Homme Haute Concentration - and also Monsieur Balmain, Eau de Rochas Pour Homme and, the classic...Guerlain Imperiale (Extra Dry is my preference).
The world of Aromatic Citrus scents is so vast - there is something special in each and every brilliant creation...
Cheers, my friend.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
Monsieur de givenchy
Chanel pour Monsieur for me. It's my "comfort" scent. Love it.

They play Wales on Sunday and I suggest that Wales is not looking forward to this contest…..GO SAMOA.

Preparing for Retirement: Don't Wait for the Unexpected to Happen
By Drew Stevens, PhD
While attending to office items, the telephone rang and it was the office manager for a chiropractic practice informing me of the principle who was immediately taken ill and rushed to the hospital. After several moments, I uncovered that in December, Peter was having some bouts of forgetfulness - nothing urgent until he blacked out and was rushed to the hospital. In the analysis it was found he had a brain tumor and was rushed into emergency surgery.
This info comes on the heels of another practicing physician named Brian who recently discovered he had cancer. While he is able to fight it through treatment, he needed assistance with his practice. These stories then remind me - who minds the practice when illness strikes?
It is one thing to create a practice and develop it. But as with any other business, and yes you run a business, it becomes necessary to create succession or retirement plans. Indeed, just about the most frightening thing about your practice is losing it, but providing a succession plan enables you to create financial stability for your family and estate.
One of the most difficult decisions to think about is the transfer of your business - your pride, joy and, most important, your creation. Turning over management/ownership authority is not easy for any founder, nor is it easy for the successor. However, if you want your practice to continue to prosper, then you must seek a way to do it. Research shows that practices tend to fail after death and fewer than 30 percent are transferred successfully to a second generation or associate.
Getting Started
The first step in any transition is your ability to get your mind in the right context. Succession planning helps you prepare for two basic premises: a) crisis and b) retirement. While there are very few statistics in each of these areas, I will bet that less than ten percent of most chiropractors ready for these categories. The facts are these, one day your practice (heaven forbid) may get hit with a crisis and you will also need to or want to retire. When either occurs, what are your plans? There is an old maxim stating, if you "fail to plan then plan to fail." This is very true. Operating a business where you are the sole focus has its positives as well as negatives. The benefits are the financial freedoms and lack of bureaucracy, but there are negatives that can harm you such as if ill, you cannot bring in revenue. It is for these reasons that planning is so beneficial.
Convincing chiropractors to have a disaster replacement plan in the event of a tragic event is not too difficult; persuading them to prepare people for advancement years ahead of their actual promotions presents more challenges. Therefore, replacement planning is a start, but only a start.
What I personally believe is that succession planning is a deliberate effort for the chiropractor to plan a transfer of duties and revenue to that person or person's who can continue the culture and care of patients without hesitation. After all, you want to see the creation you developed continue and you may want to keep some of the future earnings as a means to support your retirement account.
Items to Think About
So, if the stories above concern you and there is a desire to position the practice for continuity, what are some areas of consideration? Ask yourself the following:
As a society we are not getting younger and many media are reporting the amount of rising debt in America and lack of retirement planning. Chiropractic is no different from a professional athlete who quickly finds themselves in a pile of money. Almost immediately there is a desire to spend not save. Strange but true: an extra-big lottery prize means you've got an extra-big chance of going bankrupt.
Show Me The Money
When it comes to retirement planning,, money is where you need focus. First and foremost, retirement must begin early. Although many coming fresh from clinic and university have insurmountable debt, you must begin to place money aside beginning with the first patient. Starting the process early enough in the game will aid you in habitually placing money aside. As an example, Theodore began putting money away six months after passing the exam. Now, 31 years later he is getting fatigued and wants to retire. Based on his financial regimentation he has more than $1.6 million in assets, certainly a good amount for travel, for family and for peace.
If you are beginning later in the game, you will play catch up, but the process is more rigid. With the assumption that you are more than 10 years in practice and seeing more than 60 patients per week, my advice would be to review your income and use my 33 by 3 rule. I suggest taking 33% of your income and pay off debt, salaries, expenses and general issues of the practice. Then, take 33% and immediately place this money into a split savings and retirement account. And finally, the remaining 33% should be used to reinvest back into the practice.
As you continue to place money into savings, I suggest finding a very good financial advisor (I am not one nor am I dispensing financial advice) who can provide you with modalities for returns on your initial investment and can aid you in better planning for your future. To find the best available, it is best to speak with family, friends and peers that use these services and can best provide you with a trusted advisor.
The key factor of any practice retirement, succession or divestiture is planning. Without coordinating a solid plan of action and time frame, there will be little time to have to make up and you may get caught with a crisis (injury or disease) that hasten your plans. Therefore, in addition to beginning immediately, review, research and consult with attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and others whom can aid you in planning for the time when you do not or can no longer practice. Forming the proper alliances and having an orchestrated plan will lead to less headaches and the continuance of a wonderful future life.

Reprinted with kind permission of Llewellyn King, September 29, 2013
By Llewellyn King — Hearts Newspapers
Think of this as a primer for all of those, like the sufferers of the awful disease Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, who need to be heard in Washington and aren't. Silence has a price.
There are two branches of lobbying in Washington. The first is big lobbying, with big money making big campaign contributions. The second is everyday lobbying, which is quietly effective, scarcely organized and part of the fabric of decision-making. Call it informational lobbying.
Congress cannot be expected to be knowledgeable about a myriad of issues, and this is where the lobbyists perform their often more innocent function. Simply, they know stuff. Their advice isn't always objective, but it's informed.
Certainly Congress has the best research available, through the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress and all the executive branch agencies. But it's a lot easier to call a friend, where a question can be asked and answered in the vernacular: "Joe, what's the story on the helium shortage?" It can be argued that, at this level, lobbying is not suspect but efficient.
Proximity is a force in Washington, familiarity a lever. There are no fingerprints; it's how the system works. A chance meeting in a restaurant can change the course of policy; influence a congressional opinion about something obscure but important, like the Endangered Species Act, which is now receiving attention on its 40th anniversary.
The indictment of this informal lobbying regime is not that it exists and works, but that if you aren't at the table, you won't be heard. Woe betide those who don't have a lobbying operation, however modest, in Washington.
The lobby-less must suffer in obscurity: No lobby means no input. No conversation after church or at a kid's soccer game means no information is spreading about actions and decisions that will have impact down the line.
Make no mistake, proximity means a lot in the informing of government. A few casual words will often trump a great academic study.
For the past several years, I've taken a keen interest in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It's a disease associated with the suppression, for reasons unknown, of the immune system. To get it is to contract a life sentence of daily suffering, often so severe that patients can be bedridden for years. They think of themselves as "the damned."
This community has issues with the federal government; specifically with the Department of Health and Human Services, which has oversight of the National Institutes of the Health. Yet the advocates for CFS — many of them superbly articulate — aren't heard in Washington.
This is very clear, at the moment, when the department, acting through the NIH, has signed a contract with the Institute of Medicine to develop "clinical diagnostic criteria" for CFS.
This has so enraged the top tier of 35 doctors and researchers in the field that they — risking good relations and future research funding — have written to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sibelius, imploring her to halt this folly. The Institute of Medicine doesn't have expertise in this field, according to the CFS doctors.
Most CFS specialists agree that an effective definition of the disease, known as the Canadian Consensus Criteria, is working fine and should be retained. Confusion and expense from Washington aren't needed. A wrong definition can be destructive to research, treatment and patient well-being. It will have consequences.
But the protests may have come too late, as knowledge of what the NIH was up to came too late.
To me, this bureaucratic shuffle by HHS is an example of the dangers of not having a presence in Washington. Government responds to pressure. No presence, no pressure, no result — or worse, a bad result.
You don't need huge money to lobby. Effective lobbying is often a case of simply being there and being known to be there. Walking the halls of Congress catches the attention not only of Congress, but also wayward federal departments and the media.

For years, Michelle and David Olson relied on oil to heat their 2,600-square-foot home on the west end of Allentown at a cost of around $350 per month.
"And it kept going up," Michelle Olson said.
Olson threw a neighborhood party after she made the switch from home heating oil to natural gas, a move that has allowed her to keep more than $200 extra in her wallet every month.
"I'm being conservative," Olson said of her new estimated $120-per-month gas bill. "It could be less. Gas is so much more appealing. You can cook with gas, you can have your grill attached to gas. There are so many benefits."
The Olsons are among dozens of...

From the LRB Blog.
In the last year our delivery office has moved from working on bikes to working in vans.
There are two of us to a van, doing two rounds between us. We've also been given new trolleys so we can carry more weight, new bags to fit onto the new trolleys, and new tracking devices to show customers exactly where their post is. They also, coincidentally, show the Royal Mail exactly where its employees are.
We've been given new tools in the office too: a wheeled basket each, like an oversized shopping trolley (called a 'mini-york'), for moving our bags about, and a new storage and shelving unit for keeping our equipment in.
Our rounds have been extensively restructured to take account of the new working methods. For the past year a union rep, a manager and a planner have been huddled together in a room working out every detail of every round: how long it takes to open every gate, to walk up every path, to deliver every letter.
Everything about the Royal Mail operation is being changed. There are very expensive new walk-sequencing machines in most offices, for sorting the post into the order in which it will be delivered, new regional mail centres, where the post is gathered together and then sifted and sorted for delivery to local offices, and new lorries for shifting it around the country. Meanwhile hundreds of local offices have been closed and consolidated into larger units serving several towns at a time.
So far the Royal Mail has invested £2.1 billion in its modernisation programme, buying around 36,000 new tracking devices, 30,000 new trolleys and 11,500 new vans, and building new mail centres around the country.
All of this is being done at public expense in advance of privatisation. When the Royal Mail is floated later this year, it is expected to fetch up to £3 billion.

EAST LANSING (WILX)-- You are more likely to get the flu this year than last, but it's not because of the virus. It's because people aren't getting flu shots.
"Here in Michigan it's somewhat disappointing that we're ranked fourth in the country for refusing immunizations," said Kenneth Elmassian, President of the Michigan State Medical Society.
Last year 51 percent of kids (ages infant-19) in Michigan received a flu vaccination. It was considered a mild year, yet seven children still died.
"Any death is a preventable death. A child's death is particularly heartbreaking," said Dr. Matthew Davis, Chief Medical Executive for Michigan Department of Community Health.
According to Davis, this year has the potential to be worse.
"After mild year you see lower levels of people getting the vaccination. That leads to more people getting sick," said Davis.
Urging families to make this year different; the Michigan Department of Community Health, Michigan State Medical Society, and the Michigan Osteopathic Association have a goal to vaccinate 90 percent of kids this season.
"It's not clear to me why the vaccination rates are lower here compared to other states; but I want to reassure the public that the vaccination's we're using in this state are the safest available," said Davis.
But they won't reach their goal if families hold on to their concerns about the vaccination.
Doctors say no one can get sick from the vaccine (but occasionally you can still get the flu.
"I know your not going to ask to give him nothing he doesn't need," said mother Vanessa Jeffries.
"Put the misconceptions behind. Speak to your primary care physician," said Myral Robbins, with the Michigan Osteopathic Association.
There's been no reported flu cases in Michigan yet, but that doesn't mean there's time to wait. This year there's an abundant supply of the vaccination, and once administered it still takes two weeks to kick in.
"We typically see influenza late January, but we've seen it break out nationally as early as November in the past," said Davis.
There are several flu vaccines available. Doctors say if the regular shot has worked well for you in the past, go with it again.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV): I'm Sorry I Wasn't There To Vote Against DADT Repeal
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who was the lone Democrat to vote against the Defense Authorization Act when it included the repeal of DADT, now says he regrets not being in DC to also vote against the stand-alone version of the bill.
U.S. Senator Joe Manchin apologized to his constituents Tuesday for missing two key votes over the weekend. Manchin has caught heat from friends and foes alike for failing to be on the Senate floor Saturday to vote on the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the DREAM Act. Instead he was celebrating Christmas with his grandchildren in Pennsylvania. "Let me apologize to anybody and everybody within our listening and reading areas. I'm very sorry for missing the two votes," Manchin said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday. For the record, Manchin says he would have voted against both bills. He says he took his cue on Don't Ask, Don't Tell from military leaders who felt in the middle of two conflicts now was not the time to change a major policy. And he was not satisfied with the DREAM Act because he wants to see comprehensive immigration change.
