To fill in his non-rose slots, he used two grass songs. I don't think grass ought to count as a flower. Then the only other plant/flower I remember him doing was tulips. In keeping with the first syllable of the word, he played two tulip songs. Duke Ellington, "Tulip or Turnip." And Tiny Tim, "Tiptoe Through the Tulips."
I felt that "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" was the emotional high point of the show. We know from reading "Chronicles" that Bob Dylan was friends with Tiny Tim, and introducing the song, he swept aside the superficial view of Tim as just a joke. He was a great historian of music, Dylan said. He knew a lot of songs that were available only on sheet music, and when he died, he took a lot of songs with him. It's not like Tim died in a fire of burning sheet music, so I don't really understand how the music was lost, but it felt very profound and poignant when Dylan said it.
At the end of the show last week, when this week's theme was announced, I tried to guess which songs he'd play. The first flower song that sprang to my mind was that atrocious song about going to San Francisco and making sure you show up already besprigged with flowers. Then I thought of the song that deeply enchanted me when I was a young girl: "Sweet Violets." I wrote about it back here, embedded in a long simulblog of an episode of "American Idol" where the contestants had to sing songs from the year they were born:
I start thinking about what songs would be available to me, if I could be on the show. I'm way too old and I'm a horrible singer, but still ... Here's the list from my year, and my song from that list is "Sweet Violets." I remember hearing it once. I was in bed and overheard my parents playing it. I loved it deeply and the next day asked my parents about it. They told me, it was not for children and I couldn't hear it. Was it about sex? Death? Oddly, though I've always remembered it, I have never bothered to find the song and listen to it. I can still hear it in my head from that one listen, but I've never heard it again. I rush over to iTunes. The Dinah Shore hit is not there (only a Mitch Miller version). Ah! here are the lyrics. It's a bizarrely veiled filthy song from the past! Good thing my parents protected me, or protected themselves from having to deal with my questions.That's an unusual old song, and it has a flower other that rose, tulip, or grass. Too bad he missed it.
Next week the theme is cars. If I had to bet on one song -- taking into account that Bob likes to tell the life story of the singer -- I'd bet on "Rocket 88." But that wasn't the first car song that popped into my head when I heard the theme. (What was yours?) That was "Little GTO." Looking up the lyrics, I land right on a page of "Muscle Car Songs." Nice! I should have thought of "409" first. My office number was 409 for a long time, and I thought it was really cool that my room number was a Beach Boys song. Students would ask me what my office number was, and I liked to say "It's a Beach Boys song." No one ever said, "409!" But it would have made me happy if they had. I would have picked up good vibrations.
Having found a page of muscle car songs, I think of looking for a page of death car songs. That fateful night the car was stalled upon the railroad track... I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right... We were buggin' each other while we sat out the light/We both popped the clutch when the light turned green/You shoulda heard the whine from my screamin' machine!... Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!...
Wait. That last one's a motorcycle. Can motorcycles get in on the car theme -- the way grass got in on the flower theme? Or it motorcycle crashing a very special theme for Bob, due for it's own show some day.

Imperial Star Destroyer
Imperial Star Destroyers are the standard small starship type of the Imperial Starfleet, and an instantly recognisable symbol of the Emperors authority. Many variants and classes exist.
Design Elements
Imperial Star Destroyers (or ISDs) have many design elements in common, the most obvious of which is the streamlined 'arrow' shape. This allows an aggressive, forward-facing attitude to bring many weapons to bear on a target. Many of these vessels also have one or more hangars on the ventral surface, for the handling of starfighters and various planetary landing craft.
Imperial-class Star Destroyer
The standard mile-long ISD, the Imperial-Class Star Destroyer is a versatile small warship. It combines powerful sublight engines with a flexible turbolaser armament and a <something> of TIE fighters. There are sub-variants of this class, known as 'ISD-I' or Devastator-class and 'ISD-II' or Avenger-class.
Tector-class Star Destroyer
Um... I dunno.

It's one of the best guitars i've ever played. When you go though, be very careful to take a good look at it. At the shop i was at, there were a lot of guits with tiny imperfections (an inlay on the front of the body that was mismatched; a crack in the back of the neck; that kinda thing....).

Could Stem Cell Transplants Purge HIV-1?
August 28, 2013
Investigators from Boston had previously reported the loss of detectable peripheral blood HIV-1 reservoirs in two individuals following reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to treat their lymphoma. The investigators' presentation at IAS 2013 completes the picture, with a report that no HIV-1 DNA was detected from PBMCs -- indicating at least a 3 to 4 log10 decrease in peripheral viral reservoir size post-transplantation.
No HIV-1 p24 antigen was detected by viral co-culture from purified CD4+ cells, and no HIV-1 DNA was detected in rectal tissue. Residual host cells constituted less than 0.001% of PBMCs post-HSCT -- and that small detected amount may have represented circulating non-hematopoietic cells. No HLA-specific or pooled HIV-1 peptides elicited a strong HIV-specific immune response from the patients, either before or after allogeneic or autologous HSCT.
These patients have now stopped their antiretroviral treatments with no ill effects. As of the IAS 2013 presentation, one had been off medication for 15 weeks and the other for seven. Neither had any trace of HIV DNA or RNA in his blood.
Obviously, we will need to wait for one or two years before saying with any degree of confidence that these two men are "cured," but data are very reassuring, as HIV-1 rebounds are usually spotted after one week of stopping antiretroviral treatment, particularly when sensitive assays are undertaken.
The two Boston men differ from the cured Berlin patient in two important ways. One, they had lymphoma, while the Berlin patient had leukemia. And two, of importance, they underwent reduced-intensity conditioning allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (RIC-alloHSCT) with stem cells from donors who did not have the CCR5 delta 32 mutation (unlike the Berlin patient).
Regardless, this information is a step ahead from the functional cure of the Berlin patient. Now we know that transplanting CCR5-defective bone marrow is not essential for HIV-1 eradication, which will help simplify the equation (which still involves whole body radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunosuppressive drugs and a stem cell transplant).
While the approach with the Berlin patient carries roughly a 40% risk of death, the Boston tactic carries a lower (15% to 20%) death risk. It is obviously still not a strategy to be widely recommended, but these cases teach us important lessons to learn how HIV can be purged from its reservoirs.
Which other studies presented at IAS 2013 will have lasting impact long after memories of the conference itself have faded? Read more of Dr. Llibre and Dr. Young's top picks.

wow...this is a pretty inflammatory article...why all the hate for ball golf etc?? Or at least it sounds that way..as well as some pretty harsh comments...
the first half is with a author but it's kinda funny the way it reads on the website...."Author Noel Grove discusses his book "Anyone But Duane"/ a look at the Disc Golf Championship in Kansas City"
My only critique is how the PDGA has not handled the task of promoting the PR of the sport. A few peeps from local newspapers that the local TDs contacted was all the coverage the World's received?? Really. The PDGA MUST do better at promoting this sport. This may have been the sports grandest moment, but only those who were there can truly appreciate what happened. If ESPN or FOX Network 6 can cover bass fishing and bowling, surely the PR at PDGA could muster some viable coverage for the PDGA World Championships... beyond some DVD released months later in quite distribution when the excitement and dust has settled. Maybe they are just overwhelmed preparing for the next USDGC.Media coverage of our sport needs to be a much higher priority for the PDGA before this sport grows in sponsorships and recognition of the entire nation - dare I say the WORLD . my.02

By Thomas Corhern
Cookeville Herald-Citizen Sports Writer
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- There is a fine balance in being a student-athlete. There's the amount of time taken on practice, travel and games. Then there's the amount of time in the classroom, studying for what is their ultimate goal: their degree.
That is what exemplifies the Tennessee Tech Man and Woman of the Year awards, someone who has shown that they are the perfect example of what it means to be a student-athlete at Tech.
This week, it is the Woman of the Year award.
To be eligible for the award, the student-athlete must be a senior or graduate student who completed their athletic eligibility in 2012-13. Criteria for the award includes athletic and academic accomplishments, as well as additional areas such as community involvement and public service.
And just like the other awards this year, it has been a strong field: Katherine Barker (women's basketball), Madison Borden (track and field), Melody Christian (softball), Kelsey Gray (volleyball), Claudia Harke (softball), Andrea Meloff (soccer), Beth Miller (cross country and track and field), Kerri Reed (soccer) and Brittney Spalding (softball).
But it was hard to argue against Kellie Cook's resume, giving her the 2013 award.
"Kellie Cook is the best of the best," said Tech women's basketball head coach Jim Davis. "I read the article with the 10 finalists, and they're all phenomenal athletes and students. Kellie just personified what that award is about. She's a fantastic student, a great player, a leader in every way. She has excelled in so many areas in her life, even outside of basketball. She's just so well-rounded."
Cook is the first women's basketball player to win the award since 2004 and 11th overall (Dana Scott, 1991; Cecilia Ramsey, 1992; Bonnie Zoss, 1993; Taunya Lovelace, 1995; Amber Clark, 1999; Diane Seng and Collin Carmichael, 2000; Rachel Gobble, 2001; Janet Holt, 2002; and Andrea Brown, 2004).
ŇWhen we (along with sister Kylie) came to Tennessee Tech, the balance between education and athletics was one of the things that brought us here," Cook said. "Of course, basketball's winning tradition did too. The people who met us on our visit were all about education, getting your degree on one hand and getting a championship ring on the other. I'm excited that I was able to do that and feel very blessed about that."
In addition to helping lead the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team to two Ohio Valley Conference regular-season titles under two different head coaches, Cook has been a very visible presence in the community.
"I feel like we have been blessed to have the opportunities that we have," Cook said, "so it's important for us to give back to the community, to help those people along the way that have supported us. Giving back is important to me, not just on Tennessee Tech's campus, but in life as well. I believe I should give back and help as much as I can."
As a four-year member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Cook has also represented all of Tech's student-athletes on the Ohio Valley Conference's SAAC chapter, and was even the OVC's representative on the NCAA level.
As president of the Tech chapter, she helped organize student-athlete participation in a long line of events — the OVC Hoops for Heroes initiative, the Cookeville Christmas Parade, the Great Move-In Day on campus, Habitat for Humanity Women's Build, canned food drives for Helping Hands and the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.

With Divided Power Comes Great Responsibility
When one examines the mindset of those who support a centralized government structure, there is one common element that is found in both the Neo-Conservative model and the current socialist regime- fear.
During the W Bush years, many who sought protection from what they feared were willing to cede liberty and freedom in exchange for a perceived protection from bad things. Fearful Americans abided as wonton attacks on our constitutional rights were made right out in the openDetails

Noticing "the saggy" and the eye-rolling.

This was like American Idol singing Elvis songs in terms of gender discrimination. X-Box is a guy thing, and just what gamer type would go for faux Oscar night?
And who sets up an X-Box without the optional 5.1 Spherex surround system?
See you at the wrap party.
- Ann Althouse said...
Yeah, I know. On the other hand, what's Oscar Night about comfy chairs?
- West Coast Independent said...
Surprisingly the guys won tonight. At the beginning, I thought I'd see another task where the guys had the natural advantage of knowing the product and being much more familiar with it than the girls. But time after time, The male teams would arrogantly assume they would automatically win the challenge and then blow it on the execution. IN the past seasons I've seen guys get their creative butts kicked in everything from creating sports car ad campaigns, selling sports equipment, or like in the last episode, sell steak house food.. It seems as though the guys would just assume that everyone felt the same way towards the product as the guys do.
So I was really surprised to see that in spite of the problems getting their display walls, and roofs delivered on time, they really understood what Microsoft and Wal-Mart wanted. A Xbox 360 display that sold products.
The girls on the other hand seem tired and completely unenthusiastic about the Xbox and Wal-mart. It was obvious that they could care less about the Xbox and they don't shop at Wal-mart.
I'm going to go out on a limb here but I predict that Donald will select Sean as his latest apprentice. Allie and Roxianne pretty much eliminated themselves out of the running tonight by not supporting Tammy as their project manager. I don't think Donald likes Lee so he wont pick him.
I think this season's group of candidates seems overall uninspiring.
- LoafingOaf said...
X-Box is a guy thing
That's an increasingly invalid and outdated stereotype. Well, most girls I know dig video games, anyway!
Besides, the women on this task had three minds/workers vs. two.
Is anyone sick of Donald's boy toy Bill Rancid?? Are women viewers so into this guy's act that they're killing the show with too little of good ole George for the rest of us?? :(
As for the contestants, early on I picked Roxanne out as one of the stronger ones. She seemed bright and nice and real. As the weeks have gone on, I'm afraid Allie is dragging her down and has been a bad influence, and that might be Roxanne's downfall. Looks like it's Lee's to lose.
- Ann Althouse said...
Roxanne and Allie were sabotaging Tammy. Trump's lesson of the week was even about sabotaging. He made a yooge point of saying how much he hated sabotagers. Firing Tammy had to mean that she wasn't Trumpish enough to see it and act harshly. Instead, she whined.
So I agree, Roxanne and Allie are lost. When the three women were all talking at once, it was dreadful.
A final between Lee and Sean? That's just so bizarre, so much worst than any past show.
- SteveR said...
Easily the weakest final group yet, fitting given the very weak tasks this season. Roxanne has shown me the most but that's not saying much. Thr trend towards sabotage, which seems to be the starting point in every task, has cast negativity on everyone.
"Now get out of here. Go." My favorite part of the show. "And you two did a lousy job as well"
- Ricardo said...
"Now get out of here. Go."
Immediately followed by the requisite sycophantish comments like "That was an easy decision", "You did the right thing", and "Your hair sure looks good this week".
Since Trump made the point of telling everyone how he HATES anyone who says anything bad about him, and how he remembers things like that forever, no wonder everyone around him sucks up to him at every occasion.


text: TU VET AD (2).jpg Who we are Throughout its history, our nation has been blessed with an extraordinary band of men and women who have sacrificed so much for the people of our nation. Regardless of the situation, regardless of the danger, these brave individuals have answered the call to protect our liberties and freedoms. TU is appreciative of their sacrifices and in ever-growing number, our members are stepping up to provide healing, rehabilitation, hope and community to those who have experienced the traumas of war.The Veterans Service Partnership is a nationwide effort initiated by TU in 2011 to bring the healing power of the water to those who have served our nation so boldly. As we engage our 400 chapters and 300,000 members and supporters in this good work, we are seeing miracles, large and small, on a regular and increasing basis.What we doThe TU VSP is a network of 150,000+ members that operate out of over 400 chapters across the country. Each TU chapter is a ready-made community of passionate conservationists and anglers. Each participant in the VSP program receives a complimentary membership to TU and is automatically assigned to a TU chapter. For many served by TU's VSP, they are quickly integrated into their chapter community which becomes a safe haven where veterans can serve and be served in return. The chapter is a place where friends are made; where someone comes to learn fly tying and then returns to teach it; and it's a place where a passion is born and a commitment to protect the resource is fostered. At the national level and locally through our chapters, we partner with numerous organizations to leverage our resources and increase our impact, including Project Healing Waters, Warriors and Quiet Waters, Rivers of Recovery, the R4 Alliance, Embrace-A-Vet, Sun Valley Higher Ground, and Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (T.A.P.S.) What you can doAre you a veteran, looking to find a local TU Veterans Services Partnership program? Use our chapter search tool to find your local chapter and reach out to Dave Kumlien [406.570.0023 | firstname.lastname@example.com.] We want to connect you to our great network of anglers and conservationists across this country. Are you looking to volunteer for a local TU Veterans Services Partnership program? Similarly, please use our chapter search tool to find your local chapter. With over 150 chapters with active programs as of 2016, there is a good chance there is something going on near to you. If your local chapter doesn't have a veterans program, contact us for information on how to start a VSP program locally. Every community, regardless of size, has a population of veterans that can benefit from our approach. If this sounds like something that you might have a passion for, it's as simple as reading our VSP Chapter Program Guide, visiting the TU VSP resources webpage, or contacting our Veterans Service Partnership staff: Dave Kumlien [406.570.0023 | firstname.lastname@example.com.] Our program sponsorsWithout initial support of the TELOS Corporation, and the ongoing funding that they have provided, our veterans program would not have gotten off the ground. And without the ongoing support of CACI and the Goyanes Family Foundation to increase our capacity, we would not be at our present place with nearly a fourth of our 400 chapters participating in the VSP. Without them, and too many others to name, our program would not exist. Sponsorship opportunities are always available, from underwriting a specific nationally-led veterans trip to the donation of gear to support our TU chapter programs and everything in between. If you or your company is interested in donating to Trout Unlimited's Veterans Services Partnership Program, please contact Dave Kumlien at 406.570.0023 or email@example.com. The futureThe Department of Defense has estimated that in the coming year or two, over 1 million of our service members will be transitioning from the military to civilian life. Many of these brave souls will have suffered from their time in the service and can benefit from the programs and community that TU chapters offer. From the therapy we can provide through fly tying and rod building—therapies that improve fine motor skills, concentration and coordination—to the healing aspects of standing in a cold, clear trout stream and experiencing the soothing power of nature to the community support provided by local to chapter -- we can offer support.

Scientists around the world who study malaria and the parasites that cause it will breathe a collective sigh of relief this month when they read UVM senior Katie St. Denis' research paper. It goes a long way toward substantiating a commonly held -- yet unproven -- belief about how to distinguish malaria parasite species.
Researchers have been operating on an assumption that one gene in the DNA of these parasites can be used as a marker for species identification; that is, if the gene, cytochrome b, varies from one parasite to another, you're looking at two different species of parasites. While some research has generated data for parasites that infect humans with malaria, no comparative data existed on parasites that infect non-human hosts.
St. Denis' paper documenting her results, co-authored with biology professor and adviser Joseph Schall, is now in press with the Journal of Parasitology, one of the field's three journals of record.
The supposition about how to determine species in malaria parasites began in Schall's lab more than a decade ago. "Ten to 15 years ago, we found a gene that evolves very slowly in parasites (the cytochrome b gene)," explains Schall, "so people have said a tiny change, a tiny difference in that gene means that you have a different species of malaria parasite." This idea has led to the categorization of many thousands of bird malaria parasite species -- all based on variations in the cytochrome b gene. Although some scientists have built careers on this common sense understanding about species identification, no one had yet done the legwork in the lab to test its veracity for non-human malaria parasites.
Enter St. Denis.
She'd made herself known as a bit of a trouble-maker in Schall's spring semester 2009 class, by sitting in the front row and relentlessly asking impertinent, difficult questions. When it was time to choose an adviser for her McNair Scholars Program summer research project, she was hesitant to approach Schall, not knowing what he really thought of her. What she didn't know was that Schall saw her curiosity as one of the necessary ingredients of an excellent scientist and found her an ideal candidate to work on this very problem: is cytochrome b a useful marker of species differentiation? Throughout that summer, she'd prove that she also possesses the other two ingredients of Schall's recipe: academic honesty, or a willingness to "let nature tell you what it's going to tell you," and a strong work ethic.
St. Denis spent 40-hour work weeks in the lab, extracting and isolating the DNA of plasmodium mexicanum, a malaria parasite that infects the western fence lizard. On her second attempt, St. Denis designed a successful primer to amplify the cytochrome b gene, a feat that Schall says takes a certain level of artistry. The samples were sent to a Cornell laboratory for sequencing, and St. Denis moved from the lab bench to the computer to use a program to analyze the results. "She's learning all the standard techniques that any lab in the world doing molecular genetics uses," Schall says.
What, exactly, did she find? "We found that there is absolutely no variation, not even variation that would indicate silent mutation," St. Denis explains. "We would have expected to see a few nucleotide changes in an area where there may have been a silent mutation because that doesn't make any difference to the function of the gene, but we didn't even see any of those for all 200 samples, both segments of the gene."
For now, cytochrome b holds onto its species differentiating characteristic for malaria parasites. "I don't think this has necessarily solved the issue," St. Denis says, showing off that academic honesty Schall describes, "but I do think that it's putting another piece of the puzzle together, helping us understand whether or not this is a useful way to determine a species of malaria parasite and how it co-evolves with its host."
"Every person who works with malaria parasites will want to know this information," Schall says. "No matter where they are in the world, no matter what species they work with, they'll want to know how much variation has been found in one species. It's only the third species it's been done for. The other two were in humans. It's a really nice result for a one-summer project from somebody who was a beginner when she started."
Although this project is concluded and its paper is in press, St. Denis isn't finished with her research in Schall's lab. Having secured an APLE (Academic Programs for Learning and Engagement) award, St. Denis continues her work with plasmodium mexicanum, this time analyzing data that spans 32 years, asking how rapidly evolutionary change happens in a non-human malaria parasite population that is free from drug treatments. See the above video to learn more.

Colorado is off to an 8-0 start for the fourth time in team history. CU won its first 12 last season and also had starts of 12-0 in 1980-81 and 15-0 in 1992-93.
Colorado claims its 21st consecutive nonconference regular season win. The Buffaloes have also won 28 of 32 such contests dating back to the 2010-11 season.
Colorado improved its series lead over Denver to 6-2 and records its first win in Magness Arena in three tries. The Buffaloes improve to 2-2 all-time against DU on the road.
Colorado's 83 points are a season high and the most in a true road contest since scoring 83 in a 3-point loss at Colorado State on Nov. 30, 2005.
Colorado had exactly 50 rebounds, hitting the 50 mark for the second straight game (59 vs. CSU) for the first time since grabbing 50 against UC Irvine and 52 against Illinois-Chicago in the first two games of the 2009-10 season.
Chucky Jeffery (14 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals) recorded her 22nd career double-double, tying Sandy Bean (1978-82) for fifth all-time at CU. Her 11 rebounds also vaulted her from 10th to a tie for 7th with Bridget Turner (1985-89) on CU's all-time rebounds list with 725. It was also her 70th double-figure scoring game and 24th double-figure rebounding game. Jeffery has double-figure rebounds in three of her last four games, averaging 10.3 per game in that span.
Brittany Wilson (19 points, 7-of-12 FG, 3-of-6 3FG) scored a season-high 19 points, leading the Buffaloes in scoring for the second straight game and third time this season. She became the 13th player in CU history to reach 80 career 3-pointers (80). She has shot 12-of-22 from the field over the past two games including 6-of-11 from 3-point range.
Arielle Roberson (11 points, 6 rebounds) recorded her eighth straight double-figure scoring game to begin her career, the second best mark in team history.
CU Women off to 8-0 start after win over Denver
Colorado is off to an 8-0 start for the fourth time in team history. CU won its first 12 last season and also had starts of 12-0 in 1980-81 and 15-0 in 1992-93.

WFP battles bad weather to get food to quake survivors
16 October 2005
WFP battles logistical constraints and poor weather conditions to get food aid to survivors of the earthquake in Pakistan, using helicopters, trucks and one boat.
Situation update
- WFP is concerned that aid efforts are being hampered by major difficulties due to logistical constraints and weather conditions in Pakistan, where a major earthquake killed nearly 40,000 people last week (latest government figures 16 October), leaving about one million people in need of food and shelter.
- WFP is using helicopters, trucks and one boat to move food assistance to accessible parts of Kashmir and the North West Frontier Province, where the earthquake destroyed hundreds of villages and schools together with a good part of the road infrastructure.
- Apart from the damage to roads, access is further complicated by the sheer weight of traffic on those that remain open, causing jams and tailbacks several kilometres long.
- In addition, poor weather has hampered air logistics. Today two WFP Mi-8 helicopters, which had just arrived, were grounded in Lahore due to bad weather. Heavy rains are battering some areas while snow has started falling in a number of others. Temperatures went as low as -3 Celsius last night in some mountainous areas. An Army helicopter (MI-17) crashed during a relief operation due to bad weather and very low visibility. Landslides have closed some roads.
- Shelter materials - tents and blankets - are an urgent priority, in addition to food and water.
- The hope that search and rescue teams would save more people alive from under the rubble is diminishing and focus is gradually shifting to the complex task of providing the basic needs of the survivors as temperatures keep on falling and the need for medical care of the injured, shelter, food, water and medicines increase.
- The main areas affected are all areas of Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Mansehra, Abbottabad, Battagram, Kohistan and Shangla districts of North West Frontier Province. Some of the current earthquake-affected districts are amongst the most chronically food insecure in Pakistan and have also experienced heavy floods in recent months.
WFP intervention
- Today, Sunday, eight WFP trucks with 100 tons of mixed commodities (wheat flour, pulses, dates, and high-energy biscuits) arrived in Muzaffarabad, the capital city of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
- In addition, today an Il-76, paid for by the Italian Government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, delivered to Islamabad from Brindisi, Italy medical supplies for the World Health Organisation and 9.5 metric tons of high-energy biscuits for WFP. This is a continuation of the WFP airbridge launched from Italy when the crisis arose.
- Thus far, WFP has provided enough food for nearly 220,000 people for two to three days.
- WFP plans to bring in at least 12 helicopters to help with moving aid supplies and assessment missions. Another eight will arrive and be operational within the coming few days.
- A fleet of trucks to help deliver food aid are on their way, with 40 having left Kabul, Afghanistan yesterday.
- WFP has launched a six-month operation costing about US$54 million for food aid, to assist nearly one million Pakistanis who lost most of their belongings and food stocks in the aftermath of the quake.

Drawing inspiration from my popular SXSW talk on ActivityStreams, I'm going to take it a step farther and demonstrate how all this "open, social web" stuff applies to — nay, shall define! — the future of open source community collaboration mechanisms, and our ability to move faster, quicker, and more intelligently than any of our proprietary counterparts.
Of course this can't be accomplished alone, so maybe I'll pull in some good ideas from Kant, Nietzsche, Stalin and other inspirational figures... or not... but the point is: the future of open source lies in how well we leverage and exert our influence through social channels.
And since I've been working on opening up and interoperating (yes, that's a verb) the social web, well, I might as well talk about how I see this all relating to the future of open source and how we get sh*t done!
My friend Alex is a lighting designer. He had an idea for a HyperCard stack he wanted to write, to help him coordinate lighting cues with a script; unfortunately, his PowerBook 140 is no more, so a written script he has to follow manually is the best he can do. To explore the state of citizen coding in 2010, I've implemented Alex's simple idea as many ways as I could, and we've still got a long way to go.
So what happened to HyperCard? Photo editing, music production, page layout and publishing—all these dreams of 1980s computation have evolved and matured into world-class software, while HyperCard and its descendents have languished. We know that there are citizen coders, like Alex, who want to contribute. Why can't they? Does creation not scale?
Computation becomes ever more mainstream, and today we sit at an inflection point: while social networks and devices encourage passive consumption over creativity, we have a unique challenge—and opportunity—to provide tools to help consciously perceive and manipulate our increasingly digital environment. HyperCard's time has nearly come: we are called to widen the reach of code beyond our geek niche.
Citizen coding candidates touched on:
- HTML + JavaScript
- Shoes
- Processing
- Cocoa (1990s Apple kids programming environment)
- HyperCard 2.4
- Web HyperCard clones - various
- Sk8
- Quartz Composer
- PowerPoint/Keynote
- RealBasic
- CouchApps
- Squeak eToys
- MacRuby
- Novell Visual AppBuilder (1994)
- Self
- SuperCard?
- Prototyping tools - var.
- etc.
(I'm submitting as a short-form talk, because that's as long as I can imagine my talk being, but this could be a fun long-form workshop as well—do a quick overview & discussion of the problem, split people up into groups, try and get everyone to bang out an idea in some framework they've never seen before, maybe even hash out some concrete ideas for HyperCard 2010.)

Here Is Karl Lagerfeld's Reaction To The People Who Mocked His Cat
It's no secret that Karl Lagerfeld is very attached to his feline companion, Choupette. Choupette has a Twitter account, eats shrimp on her birthday, and has two maids.
So it should come as no surprised that when a French TV show mocked Choupette, Lagerfeld went through a series of reactions that can best be described as bemusement, then horror, then repulsion, then a death stare.
The incident in question went down on Monday on the show Le Grand Journal. As part of a skit, one man dressed up as the cat while another talked to him in French, then proceeded to spank him. It's actually a little shocking, given Lagerfeld's proclivity for saying exactly what's on his mind, that he continued to sit there and bear witness to the besmirching of his kitty instead of getting up and walking off the set, or even giving the hosts a piece of his mind.
But sit there he did indeed, and the look on his face as the sketch progressed says everything we've ever needed to know about how he feels when it comes down to taking Choupette seriously. Do not mock Karl Lagerfeld, or this will happen to you:[ITPGallery]

Talk:Wishlist/Wikipedia Mirror
From Openmoko
Modified zLib
Since size is a big concern - maybe I have at least the idea in which direction to search for a possible solution.
In the times everything had still to be downloaded from sunsite and compiled by hand there was a bible browser that used a modified zlib that made use of a modified zlib, - that compressed the text of the bible - but - as far as I understood - compressed every verse by itselves - which allowed for a very fast seeking - at the cost of compression ratio, since gzip no longer could learn from the past verses.
Two years ago I stumbled over this library again on my ubuntu box so it might still be alive.

Moleskine notebooks
Culture, imagination, memory, travel, personal identity. Moleskine is a brand identifying a family of notebooks, planners and travel guidebooks: versatile and essential companions both in everyday life and for special occasions, becoming an integral part of each of us. The Moleskine brand was born in 1997, reproducing the legendary notebook of great artists and thinkers of the past two centuries, from Vincent Van Gogh to Pablo Picasso, from Ernest Hemingway to Bruce Chatwin. The anonymous black notebook was a trusty, pocket-sized travel companion, a faithful keeper of sketches, notes, stories and tips before they became famous pictures or pages of well-loved books. Today, Moleskine accompanies the creative efforts and the imaginary of our time: it is a symbol of modern-day nomadism, closely connected with the digital world through a network of websites, blogs, online groups and virtual archives.
Moleskine Srl
Since January 1, 2007 Moleskine is also the name of the company which manufactures and distributes the legendary notebook and its many descendants. Moleskine srl creates, produces, and distributes the wellknown notebooks and their various offshoots.
Detour is a travelling group show featuring Moleskine notebooks designed by internationally recognized artists, architects, film directors, graphic designers, illustrators, and writers. Detour is a Moleskine project supporting the non-profit lettera27 foundation. Previous Detour exhibitions have taken place in Paris, New York and London. Throughout its travels, Detour is always attracting new artists to the project, especially creative artists that are particularly related to the cities in which the exhibitions take place. The notebooks displayed during all Detour exhibitions are permanently shown on the Moleskine website. A single post is dedicated to each author, with photo, video, and biographical information.
Detour - in literal meaning
Detour literally defines a diversion from the known and usual routes. It is going off the tracks, a denial of the ordinary. Contrary to static approach of exhibiting, it has visited London, Paris, New York and Berlin yesterday. Today's stop is Istanbul and Tokyo to follow tomorrow. Detour is taking a short cut amidst a long path. It is a meeting and interaction with new faces and different cultures on its long winding route. It is touching and feeling the exhibited works with your own hands. It is making both a long story and a meandering route short, on the path to the enrichment of universal creativity by sharing.
Detour - the artists
Erdem Akan, Yeşim Akdeniz Graf, Giuseppe Amato, Ron Arad, assume vivid astro focus, Atelier70, Yuval Avital, Yves Béhar, Bili Bidjocka, Jean Blanchaert, Handan Börüteçene, Lele Dainesi, Shezad Dawood, De Pawlowsky, Stefano Faravelli, Michael Graves, Emio Greco+Pieter C.

myDetour is a Moleskine roadshow dedicated to everyone who loves to paint, take photos, illustrate, write or create freely. It's an opportunity to show off your own creativity (on- and off-line), to share your artistic experiments, and to place your imagination on display.
Detour supports lettera27, a non-profit foundation whose mission is to defend the right to literacy, education, and access to knowledge and information all over the world, with a special focus on more deprived areas. The artists donate their participation and their notebooks to lettera27. The Detour archive is an archive which constantly creates resources to support new projects.
Raffaella Guidobono
Raffaella Guidobono is the curator of the Detour exhibition project. She is working as a visiting professor at the Isufi and Domus Academy in Italy. She has widely shown throughout Europe and the US, in cooperation with foreign Embassies, Art Foundations and Galleries. She lives between Italy and Latin America.
Zetalab designed the Detour and myDetour exhibition system, as well as all graphics and videos. Based in Milan, Zetalab is a brand and communication design agency that develops successful projects for companies, products and institutions. Some of its members are active in teaching in Italian universities and design schools.
Domus Academy
In the 80's the Domus Academy imposed itself as the first postgraduate school of Design in the world: a place of advanced training and a research laboratory on processes of industrial creativity, scenarios of aesthetics and consumption, space-time relations, and utility and private service. The Domus Academy constantly looks at radical changes linked to new technologies and at the fast and continuous spread of the Information technology networks. The school boasts 9 Master courses, eight of which are located in Milan and one in Rome, accredited by the University of Wales. The Domus Academy attracts students from all over the world: in 2009 there are 230 students from 45 different countries. All of the activity of Domus Academy is designed as a laboratory for the research and exploration of future scenarios. The presence of multidisciplinary teams, consisting of students from all over the world, as well as the dedication to research, typical of Italian design, are the most important elements which characterize the environment of the school. As well as the Masters courses, the Domus Academy offers a wide range of short courses: Spring Sessions, Summer Sessions, Fall Sessions and Courses for companies and Executives.
Through Domus Academy Research and Consulting (DARC) Domus Academy develops research and professional consulting activities. In 1994 Domus Academy got the Compasso d'Oro award for the career.
Bilgi Üniversitesi and santralistanbul
Istanbul Bilgi University (founded in 1996), through its academic atmosphere, teaching staff, and approach to university education has taken on a pioneering rol e with regards to the concept of time from a sociocultural perspective. By teaching social and human sciences alongside communication from the day of its inception, the Istanbul Bilgi Univeristy - in an effort to achieve its international objectives - has focused on social responsibility through educational, cultural, and art projects. One of the progressive initiatives by the Istanbul Bilgi University is santraistanbul, a comprehensive critical and interdisciplinary international program which contributes to urban revival through intercultural dialog and debate alongside its various artistic and cultural activities.
Conserved and restored by the Istanbul Bilgi University and housing santraistanbul, the Silahtaraga Power Station was the first urban station of the Ottoman Empired. Built in the Golden Horn - the oldest industrial zone of Istanbul - the station provided electricity to the city between 1911 and 1983. The effort to convert this unique national industrial landmark into santraistanbul was carried out by both public and private sector, alongside non-governmental organizations. One of the most comprehensive and cultural projects in Turkey, santraistanbul opened in September 8, 2007 with an exhibition titled "Modern and Beyond."
Through this conservation, Turkey's very first urban power station has been revived and returned to Istanbul in the form of a functional public entity. In addition to the Energy Museum, which is located in the meticulously preserved engine rooms of the power station, santraistanbul also houses spaces for contemporary art and cultural activities, a public library, outdoor recreational areas, international artists' residences, and educational units.

Hi there - is your monitor calibrated ? I like the pictures but I think they both need a little boost in terms of brightness and contrast !
Take care.

When you converted them did you switch from Adobe 1998 to sRGB? They look a little dark to me also. They lack POP! What lens and strobes are you using?

I'd like to know how you are controlling your strobes - are you using them on auto/TTL or manual? I have the same camera with the Olympus strobe and am having a lot of trouble with the auto/TTL settings

On Mondays, Bloomberg releases something called a "Greet the Week" or "Greets" for short. These are essentially features touting an investment theme–and during slow news weeks, can be a drag to put together, even when the advice is correct. Often, they're cobbled together from older articles, which are used as evidence to support the broader theme. (I did my share during a six-month stint as an FX reporter at Bloomberg.)
That's a long winded introduction to Bloomberg's "Pimco's Gross Savors Free Lunch as Peso Bonds Beat Stocks, " a "greet" that hit on Monday.
While the headline makes it look like Bill Gross has something new to say, it's actually old news–Gross touted Mexico in a Dec. 13 interview on Bloomberg TV. And it's Pimco's Michael Gomez, Pimco's co-head of emerging markets, who gets the quote: "With inflation well behaved, a strong government balance sheet, and steady growth prospects, Mexico has exhibited a sound macro policy mix, and has navigated well headwinds from the developed world," Bloomberg quotes him as saying.
The thesis, however, isn't a bad one. Emerging-market bonds denominated in U.S. dollars–like U.S. investment-grade and high-yield bonds–are looking expensive. The iShares JPMorgan USD Emerging Markets Bond (EMB) exchange-traded fund, for instance, has gained 17% this year, and has an SEC yield of just 3.3%, despite a duration of 7.65 years. That's two-and-a-half times the iShares Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury ETF (IEF) 1.3% yield, but well below historical levels.
That has many strategists predicting that investors will have to turn to local-currency debt in 2013 to meet their yield needs.The Market Vectors Emerging Markets Local Currency Bond ETF (EMLC), for instance, has an SEC yield of 4.9% and an average duration of 4.9 years, which makes it less susceptible to losses if interest rates rise.
Of course, local-currency bonds have currency risk, which tends to make them more volatile than their U.S. dollar denominated counterparts. But that might not be a bad thing to have in 2013, some strategists say. Many believe Mexico's peso, for instance, is undervalued and could rally even more this coming year.
That could make Mexico's bonds a good bet–if you can stomach the volatility.

What: Broomfield Chamber of Commerce annual dinner
When: 6 p.m. Jan. 31
Where: Renaissance Hotel, 500 Flatiron Blvd.
Info: Tickets are $85. Registration deadline is Friday. To register, visit broomfieldchamber.com
The Broomfield Chamber of Commerce's annual dinner will kick off another year of business strategies while unveiling a new program meant to turbo-charge a local business.
The Broomfield Apprentice, a program geared toward providing a selected business with an injection of new strategies and resources to help it grow, will be introduced at the event. A handful of businesses have signed up for the program, and one winning business will be announced at the dinner.
The dinner, open to chamber members, is Jan. 31.
Mike Saunders, executive director of the Business Resource Center, said the Broomfield Apprentice program is a chance to help a business step up its game without the silly tasks and "you're fired" gimmicks of the TV show on which it's based.
"We really want to sweep this business off its feet and infuse it with great business strategies," Saunders said.
The 10-part program covers topics such as generating more leads, boosting sales and using targeted Internet marketing. To do that, the Chamber's leadership group and advisors from the North Metro Small Business Development Corp. will work in teams with one deserving business owner over a few months.
The Broomfield Apprentice sessions will be videotaped and condensed into a TV show-style video for other businesses to use as a guide for their own improvement.
It also adds a more hands-on element for those involved in the chamber's leadership program, which invites people to build their leadership skills while learning more about the Broomfield community, said Chamber president Jennifer Kerr.
The Broomfield Apprentice is one focal point of the Chamber's annual dinner, but Kerr said it is also a chance to look at the past and future business climate of Broomfield.
Organizers will celebrate the success of the Business Resource Center, which opened in July to help support Broomfield business growth and help create and retain jobs. Since it opened, it has helped create or retain seven jobs and create five business start-ups.
The BRC is a partnership between the chamber, Broomfield and the North Metro Small Business Development Center.
The BRC also launched a new website, broomfieldbrc.com
Kerr said the Chamber aims to expand its reach this year and bring in new members.
There are 575 businesses that are part of the chamber right now, but "we'll definitely be growing this year," she said.

Quote from: Nam on October 10, 2013, 04:44:02 PMNothing isn't actually nothing. Labeling it as such is nonsensical.-NamOh but Nam..that is EXACTLY what Foxy said about Christians at the very beginning of this discussion. She said we like to say what nothing means and what its implication are. Now you are telling a Christian what nothing means. You are moving away from the agreed upon definition. Why can you say nothing isn't actually nothing and I have to accept that???

English Player at ABAC Adjusts to South Georgia Heat
TIFTON—Nikita Morris wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her practice jersey was already soaked from the 102-degree temperature on the soccer field at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College. For just a moment, the sophomore physical education major caught a fleeting mental glimpse of a rainy, cold day in her hometown of Norfolk, England.
But then she swung her right leg and punched the ball into the net. And all was right again in her home away from home in Tifton, Ga.
Morris, the 2012 Georgia Collegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year, will lead the Fillies on to the ABAC soccer field today at 5 p.m. against arch rival Middle Georgia State College.
"Adapting to the heat here was really hard last year," Morris said. "It's really tough when you're on the field playing soccer. It's a lot colder in England, and it rains a lot."
The heat hasn't dampened her enthusiasm for the year ahead.
"I am very excited about this season," Morris said. "We have a great team and a good bunch of girls. We are trying to go all the way this year."
To date, Coach Jimmy Ballenger's team has compiled a 4-0 record. Morris missed the season opener because of an injury but has scored four goals in the other three games including a hat trick with three goals in a 9-0 win over Andrew on Tuesday.
With the 34 goals she scored last year, Morris is only 12 short of breaking the all-time ABAC career record of 49 set by Katrina Duncan-Marshalleck in 2008-09.
"Hopefully, I can break that record but mainly I want the team to score a lot of goals so we can win," Morris said.
Jodie Corless, also from England, has led the team in scoring this year with nine goals.
When Ballenger recruited Morris, he really thought her forte was going to be as a key defender. After her freshman campaign where Morris set the ABAC single season goal scoring record and was named first team all-conference and a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association All-America squad, he realized what a diamond in the rough he had in the green-and-gold of ABAC.
"She's great," Ballenger said. "And she'll be the first to tell you that soccer is a team sport, and she can't do it alone."
Morris embraced the change to the offensive mindset.
"It was a big change," she said. "I adapted. It felt really good scoring goals. Now I just want to keep doing it."
Morris said her hometown in England is a small farming community that is not nearly the size of Tifton. She went through an agency to find an opportunity to go to college and play soccer in the United States.
"Coach Ballenger was interested in me, so we got together and worked things out," Morris said.
Obviously things are different in America.
"Everything's a lot bigger here," Morris said. "I was very surprised that football boots are called cleats, and football is called soccer."
She does miss some English delicacies.
"I miss the typical English roast," Morris said. "But I enjoy the food here. It's nice."
Having Morris return for her second year as a member of the Fillies has been very "nice" for the ABAC soccer team as well.

DARREL Baldock was a humble man, but his standing in the community will forever be on a pedestal following the official opening of the Darrel Baldock Memorial yesterday.
The three-year, $400,000 project was officially unveiled yesterday by Mr Baldock's widow Margaret, former St Kilda Football Club teammate Graeme ``Gypsy'' Lee, and close friend Pat Mackey.
About 1000 guests and the general public attended the ceremony, which was testament to Mr Baldock's standing in the community.
The project received both state and federal funding and also relied on corporate and community donations to a memorial fund.
The 2.5-metre high statue is surrounded by interpretive panels that depict all aspects of Mr Baldock's life.
The Darrel Baldock Memorial gates cap off the memorial and provide a new centre access gate to the Latrobe Recreation Ground.
Mr Baldock captained the St Kilda Football Club to its only premiership in 1966, was a champion horse breeder and trainer and a state politician until 1987, when he retired to coach his beloved Saints.
He died in 2011.
Mrs Baldock said her husband would not have known the reason behind all of the fuss, but said she believed he would have been extremely honoured to know he had such standing in the community.
``He never thought much of himself,'' Mrs Baldock said.
``But he would definitely have been humbled.
``I know he'd be saying why and that it was all a bit silly,'' she laughed.
Mrs Baldock, who always played a supporting role to Mr Baldock's life in the limelight, stepped into the title role during yesterday's memorial unveiling.
Mrs Baldock was supported by the larger Baldock family, with her children and grandchildren, Mr Baldock's brother and sister and Mrs Baldock's family all in attendance.
Mrs Baldock, who doesn't live far from the memorial, said she couldn't believe how well it had all come together.
``Everyone seems to be admiring it, it's all gone really well, but it has been a process,'' Mrs Baldock said.
She said she had seen the statue prior to the unveiling and had gotten a bit of a shock.
``I went down to see it with Gypsy and it was bigger than I thought it was going to be.''
Mrs Baldock said while she was glad it was all over - she could breathe a sigh of relief and have a cup of tea - she was absolutely honoured the memorial was an actuality.
``We are just so honoured for all of the people who have had input to the memorial,'' she said.

Former Soldotna Mayor Dave Carey will compete against former Soldotna City Council Member Nels Anderson for the mayoral seat left vacant by Peter Micciche after he was elected to the Alaska State Senate.
Carey served as Soldotna's mayor from 2001 to 2008. He was then elected Kenai Peninsula Borough mayor, a position he held until 2011.
Anderson, a family practice physician, served on the city council from 2009 to 2012 and on the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District Board of Education from 1993 to 2008.
The winner will serve the remainder of Micciche's term ending October 2014. The election will be April 2. Polls at Soldotna City Hall are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day. Absentee ballots will be available at city hall starting March 18.
Vice Mayor Brenda Hartman has handled the city's mayoral duties since Micciche's early January resignation.

I think the current list in the wiki is complete. You can find it at:
I guess you might have to find the KM source code and see how each Command ID is created in C++.
Command ID's can be called by menus or by the macro language, but I don't think that is what you need for a plugin.
I hope this helps. It is quickly getting above my pay grade.
@Herr Rossi, have You checked whether the functions that don't have command IDs are from macro commands?
Perhaps the source code of macros.dll helps: It makes that macrolanguage can call the other kplugins using "plugin(pluginname)". So the key must be in macros source (although personally I don't have the slightest clue about source codes )
Just curious: What kind of plugin do you want to build, to add which functions??

I bet they are better in German, I wish I could read it! Thank you.

they are clearer, and more detailed,, unfortunately with any translation you will have some trouble,,
if there is anything I can help with just ask

You have actually made this dress beautifully and you do look lovely in it but because you have had problems making it and spent more time than planned, you are over it. Maybe put it in the closet for a few weeks and then bring it out and then you will be very proud of all of your hard work. It is a lovely pattern and if you make it again, use a plain fabric and a soft fabric for the front pleating detail. I really like this fabric that you have used but as you say, it doesn't reveal all the detail that has gone into making this dress. I have been sewing for over 40 years and I still make mistakes choosing the wrong fabric for the pattern intended. You are always learning with sewing!!!

Thank you so much for your compliments and advice, I think I will do what you say, both with putting it away for awhile and with trying again. I appreciate your wisdom!

Tottenham Hotspur defender William Gallas says noting but a victory is acceptable when Spurs travel to rivals Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.
The former Gunners captain will lead out Andre Villas-Boas' side in a north London derby where both sides are desperate for a win after disappointing results last weekend.
Arsene Wenger watched his Arsenal side throw away a 2-0 lead for the second time in four days on Saturday in the 3-3 draw with Fulham, while Spurs gave up a one-goal lead at Premier League champions Manchester City and lost to a late Edin Dzeko goal.
Gallas thought the White Hart Lane club deserved something from the game at Etihad Stadium and wants it rectified when they go to Emirates Stadium.
"It is the big derby. We need a good result there. We have to do something. It was a good opportunity to beat Man City. They were not really strong," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
"We could have got something from the game. We could have played better, we couldn't keep the ball very well and that was maybe the key of the game."
Arsenal's season was transformed the last time Tottenham made the trip up Seven Sisters Road, coming from two goals down to run out 5-2 winners in the end and will be hoping for something similar this time around.
Spurs and Arsenal have both failed to get going properly so far this season and are lying in sixth and seventh respectively, separated by a single point.

Dear Victoria,
I think that my question might be unusual for you. Even though I read your column routinely, I don't think I have ever seen a question like mine, so that I hope that you can help me too. My father died 7 weeks ago and I am having trouble getting over it. A few nights before he died, I had a powerful dream about him that he was going to die, and that I should take a leave from work and go see him. The next morning, I had a very heavy feeling inside of me. I don't know how to describe it but I felt terribly guilty and full of shame. I was also afraid to follow my gut feeling and call into work to say that I needed a day off, when at that point my father seemed to be doing fine.
While I was making coffee that morning, I made myself think that I would go and see him the next weekend. I wasn't doing that well at work and I had a lot of financial problems to deal with. Yes, I was afraid that I might get fired if I asked for an extra day off and I know I was worried about taking a day off without being paid.
By the time I got to work, I had convinced myself that I would go and see him during the weekend. But then I got busy and forgot about it. That night I got home after 9:00pm.
I was thinking about my dad all the way home, and immediately called him and got his voice mail. I left a message for him saying, 'Dad I want to come and spend the weekend with you, and I hope that's okay. It will be great, we'll do some cool stuff together.' As I hung up, I had a really bad feeling about the message but I made myself not worry about it.
The next morning when I woke up with an overwhelming feeling like I just had to go and see my father right then. Victoria, the feeling was so strong that I felt like I was going to throw up while I was making my coffee. I decided I had to go, and that I didn't care about losing my job as much as I cared about seeing him. I threw some things into my suitcase and got my assistant to book my trip for 9:00. While I was running down the stairs to get to the train with my suitcase, something very bizarre happened to me. I didn't even associate it with my father, but I had a very depressing feeling come over me that was so strong that didn't think I could even live anymore. The feeling was that I had let someone down (like I said I didn't associate with my father at least at that moment) so much that it was too much for me to bear.
But at that instant I began I found myself practically sliding down the stairs, over to my car and going at high speed to the airport. The closer I got to the airport the more angry and upset I got. I actually left my car at the departure terminal, and ran in, knowing that my car would be towed! As I got my boarding pass my heart was racing. Even though I was early I ran to the gate. But before I got there I heard, my name being called over the load speaker. I think I knew then that my father had already died, but I didn't want to believe it, as by then, I was in my heart-of-hearts, trying to be there for him.
I didn't stop to find the phone, but continued on to the gate. I guess looked like a wild man, because when I went up to the airline personnel at the gate desk, they figured out who I was. They even had an airline counselor-type person coming up to the desk at the same time I arrived to try to help me. Victoria, I haven't been able to eat or sleep much since then, and whatever food I try to take in I don't seem to be able to keep down. My daughter is really worried about me, because she thinks that I'm trying to kill myself over how much guilt I have. I'm even starting to believe myself that this might be true.
I desperately need some help. I tried going to some therapists, but I didn't think that they cared about my situation at all. I owed my father a lot. He worked overtime and sacrificed a lot to put me through school. I cannot believe that I couldn't make the gesture to go visit him for his last moments on earth. Is there anything that you can help me to do to tell me what my father thinks of all of this? Is he alright? Has he forgiven me or will he ever forgive me? I want him to know how much I love him and how sorry I am that I wasn't there for him when he needed me the very most.
Dear Dennis,
I hope that I will be able to bring you some sense of peace. I am able to connect with your father on The Other Side; that's one of the main reasons I was guided to respond to your letter.
Yes, it would have been better for you to have been with your father before he died; he even prayed that you would be there. However, as with all of us when we do transcend our life here, and go through some experience such as a 'Tunnel,' we see everything differently. So, when your father passed over, he first saw his parents, a brother, his Spirit Guides and some Angels waiting for him' plus, the spirit of a dog he had had when he was about 16 or 17 years of age.
After his first feeling of euphoria of being with them again, he received an almost immediate message that he shouldn't worry about the fact that you weren't there to say good-bye.
Because life looks very different when we pass over, he immediately let it go and totally understood what had transpired. By the way, when he was experiencing that, it was about the time you were leaving him the voice mail message.
Dennis, all I can say to you is that your father absolutely, totally, not only has forgiven you for not being there with him, before he died' but is actually feeling a sense of remorse that you are still holding onto your own sense of guilt. He understands exactly what happened, even more than you do (ie, that you had job, financial' as well as past life issues with him, all of which made it difficult for you to 'step up to the plate,' so-to-speak, and be there in time to have a final communication with him).
Your intention was pure, that you would do whatever you needed to be there for him, and to say good-bye (thus, the dream' that you did try to act on, in time). But, at the same time, you were (and are) also facing major issues on the job-front. I can see that if you had to ask for any more time off, you very likely would have been put on probation' at least. The pressure you felt inside to take the best course of action in either area was so overwhelming that, for a couple of days, you were almost non-functional.
Unfortunately, one of those days was exactly when you needed to not care about one of them (ie, the job) AND take care of the other (ie, seeing your father again). Please don't blame yourself: no one else is blaming you. Not your father, not your Spirit Guides; especially not God, who understands everything' I am hearing from your father that you will have a very important dream in the next two to four weeks, when he comes to you in a very crystal clear form. He is promising me that you will be experiencing a major healing with him, and that you will not only remember the dream in vivid detail but will feel the enormous sense of peace that next morning, that have been longing for.
Please, do contact me again after that encounter and let me know what you experienced in that dream (your father asked me to request that of you in case there might be something that you miss, and that I can pass on to you from him).
Dennis please be at peace with yourself,
Please also feel free to 'Google' Victoria Bullis!

El Director General se reúne con el ministro de Desarrollo del Reino Unido
19 de Novembro de 2012, Roma, Italia – Director-General José Graziano da Silva met UK Minister of State for International Development Alan Duncan today.
Talks covered progress being made in 2012 to transform FAO's performance and impact. The changes they discussed heighten the emphasis on delivering results within countries, focusing the work on fewer and cross-cutting strategic objectives, strengthening FAO's presence and capacity in the decentralized locations and finally, streamlining administrative processes and improving efficiency and value for money
Graziano da Silva emphasized the link between food security and national and regional security– pointing out the examples of areas such as the Near East, Horn of Africa and the Sahel –
He stressed the need to improve global governance of food security.
One example of good governance, he said, is the Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS), set up by the G20 in 2011 to increase food commodity market transparency and facilitate the coordination of international responses to price volatility . FAO is Secretary of AMIS.
The FAO chief described to the Minister the key role FAO plays in many of today's most important global issues, ranging from climate change, feeding the world's growing populations, reducing food waste, changing diets, responding to the ever-greater water challenge and slowing down the depletion of the world's vital natural resources.
The Minister's visit coincides with the UK Government's update of its 2011 Multilateral Aid Review (MAR). At that time, the MAR rated FAO poor in value for money and highlighted five broad areas of weakness, including in particular in the country level. Graziano believes the 2013 MAR Update will provide an opportunity to show the enormous progress that has been made to transform FAO and ensure that it is fully equipped to lead the world's efforts to eliminate the twin scourges of hunger and poverty, working alongside its Rome-partners, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Programme. he MAR Update report on FAO will be published in April 2013.

Another off season another opportunity to make the papers for the wrong reason...that's Rex, our "leader".
Aren't there a lot of meth labs in these old steel towns? And wasn't Buddy spotted in a lab coat recently? And hasn't Rob gone off the grid? And wasn't Rex always quoting scenes from "Burning Bad." And aren't Mustangs the "mule" vehicle of choice? And didn't Woody, with his bird legs, seem a little jittery lately?
I'm no detective, but....
Why doesnt rex have a vette or a viper? A mustang? ugh
Nothing wrong with driving a Mustang.
Is there any car out there that can outperform a 2013 Boss 302 and still cost less than $42,000? Motortrend compared the Boss to an M3 and they were neck and neck.
Nothing wrong with Rex driving a Mustang. Its his coaching thats a problem.
[QUOTE=Vin;4791840]How long has he had that car?
Maybe he kept it around for sentimental reasons?
yeah, just like he keeps Sanchez around
Can't make it up!

POPLARVILLE — Pearl River split with arch-rival Mississippi Gulf Coast in MACJC South Division men's and women's basketball action here Thursday with the 19th-ranked Wildcats taking a 65-53 victory, while the Lady Wildcats fell 45-41 despite an impressive second-half comeback run.
PRCC's men improved to 17-2 overall and a division-leading 8-1 mark, while its women dropped to 5-11 and 3-6. MGCCC's men dropped to 13-7 and 4-5, while its women are now 15-5 and 6-3.
With three division match ups remaining in the regular season, the Wildcats remain atop the South Division's men's standings — two games up on second-place Jones County (6-2). Southwest Mississippi is third at 6-3, while Gulf Coast is fourth at 4-5 following Thursday's setback to The River.
PRCC's men can clinch the division crown and hosting rights to Feb. 25-28's MACJC State Tournament with wins over SMCC Monday in Summit and JCJC Monday, Feb. 18, in Poplarville. The Wildcats dropped Southwest 71-62 at home and Jones 83-79 in Ellisville in previous meetings played Jan. 17 and Jan. 24, respectively.
PRCC's women are in sixth place in the women's standings behind No. 1 Copiah-Lincoln (8-1), Gulf Coast (6-3), Southwest (5-4), East Central (4-4), and Jones (3-5).
The top four finishers in the MACJC north and south divisions earn berths in the state tournament.
In the Thursday's men's game, Frank Snow, a San Angelina CC (Tex.) transfer from Wellington, Fla., hit the Wildcats' first basket in the opening minute for the only Pearl River points for the first 4:30 of the contest. Meanwhile, Gulf Coast's Jamichael Hawkins hit all four of his three pointers on the night during a 16-2 game-opening run to put the Bulldogs up by 14 with 15:30 left before the half.
But The River came alive, answering with a dominating 15-0 scoring surge — capped by a basket by Kaven Bernard out of Assumption High in Napoleonville, La. — to take its first lead of the game at 17-16 at the 9:19 mark. The Bulldogs regained the lead briefly when Chris Bilbo scored off a steal, but Bernard answered with a bucket to make it 19-18 with 7:24 left before the break.
Gulf Coast's ensuing 7-6 run tied it up at 25-25 at the 3:27 mark before PRCC responded with a 7-4 scoring effort to take a 32-29 lead at the intermission.
The Wildcats pumped their lead to 44-37 in the opening 10 minutes of the second half before Gulf Coast bounced back with a 9-0 run to grab its last lead of the game at 46-44 with 6:49 left. Daniel Grieves, a U.S. Air Force Academy transfer who prepped at St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis, immediately banged in a trey to put PRCC up for good. The Wildcats ended the game with a lopsided 21-7 scoring run to take the 12-point victory.
Hawkins led all scorers in the contest with 22 points (four treys), while Bilbo scored 17 (four rebounds, four assists, two steals), Darius Forrest six (six rebounds, two steals), Stacy Caroway four (four rebounds), and Giancarlo Santiago (six rebounds) and Shelton Willis (five rebounds), two each.
Jeremy Hollimon of Gulfport High paced the Wildcats with 17 points (three treys, two steals), while Xavian Rimmer, an Alcorn State transfer who prepped at Piney Woods School near Jackson, scored 15 (three treys, four rebounds, three assists), Josh Carpenter of Oak Grove High 10 (three assists), Grieves nine (three assists), Bernard eight (five rebounds, two steals), Snow four (nine rebounds), and DeMondre Harvey of Minden (La.) High two (game-high 10 rebounds). DeAngelo Coleman out of South Pike High in Magnolia had three assists for Pearl River.
Pearl River hit a 40.7 percent (24 of 59) from the field to Gulf Coast's 17-of-45 (37.8 percent) effort, while the Wildcats were nine of 14 (64.3 percent) from the free throw line to the Bulldogs' impressive 14-of-17 (82.4 percent) showing. From three-point range, PRCC was eight of 19 (42.1 percent), while MGCCC was five of 15 (33.3 percent).
The River led on the boards with 37 rebounds (18 offensive, 19 defensive) to Gulf Coast's 31 (10 offensive, 21 defensive), while the Bulldogs committed 26 turnovers to the Wildcats' 16.
In the women's game, things were tied twice in the opening four minutes before the Lady Bulldogs went on a 15-8 run to grab their first double-digit lead at 20-10. MGCCC built its lead to 27-12 — its largest of the first half — with 2:30 left before the break before the Lady Wildcats' closed out the half with a 5-0 scoring surge to make it 27-17 at the intermission.
Gulf Coast's 8-2 scoring run to open the second half gave the Lady Bulldogs their largest lead of the night at 35-19, but Pearl River rebounded with a 20-3 scoring surge to take one of its only two leads of the game at 39-38 with 3:35 left. During The River's dominating run, Gulf Coast were scoreless for nearly nine minutes.
The Lady Bulldogs tied it up at 39-39 with a foul shot before PRCC took its final lead at 41-29 off a basket by Valescia Dixon of East Marion High at the 3:05 mark. Presley Owens' basket then snapped a 41-41 stalemate with 2:00 left before she sank pair of free throws in the final seconds to ice the four-point victory.
Owens led MGCCC with a game-high 14 points (eight rebounds), while Shameika Hart scored 11 (nine rebounds, two steals), Markia Nix seven (game-high 16 rebounds, three steals), Brittany Jones four, Hellanisa Young three (five rebounds), and LaPrecious Thompson one (four rebounds, three assists, three steals). Kendra Hall had four rebounds for the Lady Bulldogs.
Dixon paced The River with 12 points (13 rebounds), while Rebekah Harwell out of M.C. Perry High in Iwakuni, Japan, scored seven (four rebounds, four steals); Kalisha Washington out of Murrah High in Jackson six (four steals), Jeronda Beason of Poplarville High five (four rebounds, three assists, three steals), Francheska Bowman out of Choctaw High in Ft. Walton Beach, Fla., and Daiquari Raine of Poplarville High (five rebounds, two steals), four each; and Lolecia Richardson out of Provine High in Jackson three.
Pearl River hit 60.9 percent (14 of 23) from the free-throw line to Gulf Coast's 58.5 percent (10 of 17), while the Lady Wildcats were 13 of 55 (23.6 percent) from the field to the Lady Bulldogs' 16-of-59 (27.1 percent) effort.
