I think I finally was able to do an adequate sketch of the character I'm now playing for about 3 years in Ultima Online. I really like the sketch, because I had this picture in my mind for a really long time, but it never turned out right. I will continue with more detail and color. I would really appreciate some comments too :-).

I updated the pic, and I think I solved the "hangover"-problem. The cape looks into the other direction now, and it seems as if he has to lean against the wind. I don't know yet, if I will color it, because it's just a char sketch after all. Maybe I'll try to do something else with the char and set him in a better composition and athmosphere. cu! - togusa www.shamino.com Back to top S4SbmemberMember #Joined: 13 Jan 2001Posts: 803Location: near Hamburg (Germany) | Registered: Mar 2000 Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2001 7:30 am Still looks like a drunken old man trying to keep from falling to the ground...

That's the reason he looks like he's going to fall over. I mean, if it was a pole attached to the ground... there'd be no problem with it. Also it's very impossible to lean like that without standing on your tipytoes.

Yes it's true that a person couldn't really stand like that without falling over (unless the stick was attached to the ground). But then again, last time I checked, people could really cast spells, either. There is such a thing as artistic license. I like it; it's stylized and suggests something magical or out of the ordinary. ------------------ -Arioch well-of-souls.com Back to top BrueGuestMember # Posted: Fri Jan 19, 2001 10:43 pm I liek the whole styke of it. although yet again i am another person agreeing with the pole thingy. It reminds me of Robin Hood. you know the cartoon with a fox and that stork which is really robin hood. Well it reminds of that anyway.

The Lexus GX470 was a well-equipped midsize luxury SUV based on the mechanics of the popular Toyota 4Runner. Produced between 2003 and 2009, the GX470 earned a reputation as a capable off-road vehicle with convenient amenities. However, a burgeoning market for crossover SUVs with better fuel economy prompted Lexus to replace the body-on-frame GX470 with the more versatile Lexus GX460 in 2010.
Early GX470 models came in a single trim equipped with a 4.7-liter V-8 engine producing 235 horsepower. The engine would later be improved to 263 horsepower. An all-wheel drive system with low-ranging gear and a five-speed automatic transmission were always standard.
Standard off-road equipment on the first GX470 included hi-lo gear selection, a transmission hill holder, a double wishbone front suspension, and a solid live axle rear suspension. Additional technologies added over the years included downhill and uphill assist control, rear adjustable height control, and an optional dynamic suspension system able to adjust the vehicle's stabilizer bars depending on terrain.
Inside, the GX470 featured well-heeled appointments that were typical of the Lexus brand. Leather and wood trim, a power sunroof, and a heated driver seat were standard on every model. Lighted running boards, a chrome grille, and alloy wheels added a luxurious look to the exterior.
A Sport edition joined the GX470 lineup in 2005, adding unique accessories, dark graphite alloy wheels, a black maple-trimmed interior, and a dynamic suspension system.
The Lexus GX470 was best known as a plush family-friendly SUV that was able to perform capably on and off the pavement.
With an optional reclining third row seat, the GX470 could provide room for up to eight people. The cargo area offered 49.7 cubic feet of storage with seats in place and up to 77.5 cubic feet with seats folded.
Standard towing capacity was 5,000 pounds, though an optional towing package could increase the maximum load to 6,500 pounds. Features such as an 8.3-inch ground clearance, a self-leveling rear air suspension, shock absorber controls, and optional automatically adjusting stabilizer bars assisted in off-road performance.
Lexus produced its last GX470 for 2009.
The 2009 GX470 was available in just one trim level. A 4.7-liter V-8 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive system were standard.
Standard exterior features in 2009 included 17-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, a power sunroof with remote operation, a roof rack, rain-sensing windshield wipers, fog lights, lighted running boards, and a rear side-hinged door. Inside the car, amenities included leather upholstery, wood trim on the dash and center console, leather and wood door trim, a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, steering wheel audio and cruise controls, power heated mirrors, a multi-level heated driver seat, power adjustable front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, an 11-speaker audio system with in-dash six-CD changer, and a split-folding rear seatback.
Standard safety features included four-wheel antilock braking, front and rear head airbags, dual front side-mounted airbags, child seat anchors, a rear center three-point seatbelt, stability and traction control, tire pressure monitoring, daytime running lights, and dusk-sensing headlights.
Buyers could upgrade to Bluetooth technology, satellite radio accessibility, an optional third row seat, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and a navigation system paired with a premium 14-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound audio system.
A Sport Package featured an adjustable suspension system exclusive to the GX470, though the system could also be added individually. Other features of the Sport option included black and graphite trim features, chrome accents, and distinctive wheels.
The GX470 provided an average amount of space for a traditional SUV, with front passengers receiving 40.2 inches of head room and 41.8 inches of leg room and rear seat passengers receiving 40 inches of head room and 36.8 inches of leg room. A rear cargo area offered 49.7 cubic feet of storage.
Six exterior finishes and two interior color schemes were offered for 2009.
In 2004, the GX470 received several safety upgrades, including a tire pressure monitoring system, roll sensors, and an optional rear backup camera. A dynamic suspension system became optional.
In 2005, Lexus added a Sport edition. The GX470 Sport came standard with the line's optional dynamic suspension system. Unique features included dark graphite alloy wheels, black emblems, smoked bezel headlights, fog light trim, a chrome-tipped exhaust system, chrome license plate frame, and black bird's eye maple and graphite interior trim.
The base GX470 also introduced some new features for 2005, including Bluetooth compatibility, a more advanced navigation system, and a voice control feature for audio, climate control, and navigation systems.
The addition of more entertainment choices came in 2007. DVDs could now be played on the optional Mark Levinson Premium Audio System, while the screen size of an optional rear-seat entertainment system was expanded to nine inches. The navigation system option was upgraded with iPod connectivity and an improved display.

I dont understand what your asking about.
I dont understand what your asking about.
Lobolover: *sigh*
Cant you people take a joke?I mean Carter jokes about homosexuality and no ones does a "sigh" on him.
I'm lost now.....Sixteen dead ends
Some people say that the every heartbeat us the sound of god, kicking an angel, in the face.
then witch if you would be so nice to enlighten us with the aparations of your holly mind?
Even Journey to the West could have played its part. I read somewhere (I forgot now) how the Strawhat's journey somewhat resembles a journey to the west.
1. finds Zoro, a swordsman "Mr. Bushido", Asian
2. Drum Island stuff, winter, Russia
3. Alabasta, Egypt
4. Water 7, Venice / France
5. Florian Triangle, spooky themed, Bermuda Triangle
I think if Brook is added to the crew, he would likewise provide knowledge. He has had a crew (not like how Nami and Robin have had) and has been around for 50 years.Robin on the other hand has already traveled in the GL for some time (atleast 2 years) so she has atleast some bit of knowledge about what is going on. Franky might know some things as well, depending on how focused he was on becomeing a stationary shipwright at W7.
I do wonder when the Strawhats will begin traveling outside of the direct order of islands given by the Log Pose. Will they come across an Eternal Pose? I say this due to how freely we see people like Ace, Shanks, Blackbeard, or Kuma move over the seas. Brooke can only get back to Laboon from steering off course.

eh, Yoruba: I'm pretty sure he has been lost in that triangle for the majority of those 50 years.
His crew were presumed lost 2 years (or so) after departure if I recall correctly. He couldn't leave the triangle after he died and ressurected due to a broken rudder. Then all of a sudden he came across TB and embarked in hopes of beeing able to repair his rudder.
Wait, lobolover, what were you confused about?
Some people say that the every heartbeat us the sound of god, kicking an angel, in the face.
True. For me, what I get from a Shichibukia losing to someone in the New World gives a suggestion that it is a Yonkou. You are right, the idea of other pirates being in the New World other than the 3 powers doesn't come up often that's because we (the readers) haven't been given much to talk about such things.Originally Posted by CLERICSHADOW

Post number 30..why does it say Gorlom posted that first quote..I DID Gorlom your stealing my fire tonight you basterd!!! *Raises old man fist*
Also. That Kizaru thing was a joke. It would be kinda fun I guess, if he trained Luffy and maybe Ace. But it would be cooler if he actually turns out to be a future opponent for Luffy, both of them being monkeys and all.
A lot of confusion in this thread too.
It's odd, but for most of the pirate antagonists we've been introduced to, few proclaim the hunt for One Piece. I think more thought-provoking motives will come from meeting the pirates of the New World. They are closer to the finish line and so are probably more compelled by it than from the pirates introduced thus far.
I think the mindset in the New World is much different than the first half. The first half is almost like a dash, and the second is like an easter egg hunt. I look at Shanks and think, he has nothing better to do than go ask Whitebeard to "let me have Blackbeard" for scars he's had ever since he left Luffy his strawhat?
When luffy enter the new world, I think luffy will suddenly run into kaidou a Yonkou and they will get into a fight.
If luffy defeat kaidou is the loser still a yonkou or will they lose there title. And the winner will become the new yonkou.
If strawhat become the new yonkou how will the world government and world know a yonkou been replace. Will the world government even release the information that the strawhats become a yonkou
Yonkou r the closet to becoming the pirate king and is luffy dream is to become a pirate king, isn;t it natural that luffy will become a yonkou.
Won't becoming the yonkou help him achieve his dream.
Isn't it enivtable for people who aiming to become pirate, have to fight a Yonkou, aiming to become the pirate also mean aimming to become the strongest in the world. To achieve this dream mean fighting strong oppnoent like the yonkou and the current strongest whitebeard.
I've seen double posting a post, but never double posting an entire thread
And a useless one at that.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field squads will continue their excursion through the outdoor season Thursday as they head to Myrtle Beach, S.C., to take part in the Shamrock Invite.
"Shamrock is a meet we attended four years ago," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "Unfortunately our spring break hasn't lined up with this meet the past two years. We were excited that it lined up again this year. It's a fun trip for our team and a good solid competition."
Coming off a spectacular weekend in Memphis, the track and field teams look to continue their streak of accomplishments.
"The first thing for us will be the decathlon and heptathlon, which start Thursday morning," Taylor said. "It's the first and probably only opportunity for our multi-eventers to compete in a multi before Atlantic Sun."
Taylor will be changing up a few of the events and runners at the competition as well.
"Thursday night we will run four women in the 10,000 meters," Taylor said. "Two, Hannah Munyan and Missy Dowd, have run the event before. I'm doing something I don't normally do in putting Sally Larson and Kelsey Ibarra, two freshmen, in the event."
April Terry will also be joining the field athletes after a record-breaking hammer throw of 49.43 meters this past week.
"April Terry will go after improvements in the hammer and shot put," Taylor said.
Annika Backlud, fresh off her A-Sun Field Athlete of the Week award, will look to improve her numbers as well.
"Fields events will compete as usual," Taylor said. "Annika Backlund will look to improve upon her new school record set last week."
"Kevin Floyd will lead the men in the vault," Taylor said. "We are excited about our field events."
The men's distance runners will also see a few changes in their normal events.
"Men's distance will mostly drop down to middle distance races," Taylor said. "Andrew Bosket will lead the way in the men's 800 meters. The 5000 meters specialists, Christian Freeman and Daniel Gardner, will drop down to the mile. Juan Gonzalez, who missed the indoor season with an injury, will move up the ladder to the mile this week, as we prepare him for the 5000 meters later this season."
Dani Walker will feel right at home in this meet as she competes in her two best races.
"Dani Walker should lead the way for women's distance," Taylor said. "She is ranked first in the 800 meters and the mile."
Madi Talbert also has a long meet ahead of her as she looks to maintain her excellence in the 3000 meters steeplechase.
"Madi Talbert will run the 3000 meters steeplechase for the first time this year," Taylor said. "Last year she qualified for the NCAA I National Championship finals in the event."
Overall, the team will have their hands full competing in these events, which should make for an interesting meet.
Taylor said, "We are excited to see all of our athletes perform and take the next step this outdoor season."

Nokia (NOK) continued to struggle in 2012 despite the launch of its highly anticipated Lumia 900 smartphone. Things seem to be improving a bit as sales of its new flagship phone, the Lumia 920, appear strong, but the vendor has a steep hill to climb if it hopes to swing back to a profit in the near future. Picking up market share is a big part of Nokia's fight in 2013 and a new report suggests that in order to make a dent in the smartphone market currently dominated by Google's (GOOG) Android operating system and Apple's (AAPL) iOS platform, Nokia plans to live in the past.
According to Digitimes' unnamed Taiwan-based supply chain sources, Nokia plans to continue ordering the production of Windows Phones powered by Microsoft's (MSFT) previous-generation Windows Phone 7.5 platform through much of 2013. By continuing to sell Windows Phone 7.5 devices, Nokia can better target emerging markets with low- and mid-range smartphones that are far less expensive than Windows Phone 8 handsets, which require more modern components.
The report notes that Nokia may eventually choose an alternative platform to target emerging markets rather than continuing to support an outdated version of Windows Phone.

Spot-on solution for Dogs which treats and prevents flea infestations and ticks. Also used for treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, where authorised by a veterinary surgeon. The product controls infestations of Trichodectes canis biting lice as well.
Administration Instructions
1 pipette of 1.34 ml per dog weighing over 10kg and up to 20kg bodyweight.
Animals should be weighed before treatment.
Hold pipette upright. Tap the narrow part of the pipette to ensure the contents are within the main body of the pipette. Break back the snap-off top from the spot-on pipette along the scored line. Part the coat between the shoulder blades until the skin is visible. Place the tip of the pipette on the skin and squeeze gently at one or two spots to empty its contents onto the skin.
Do not treat again within 4 weeks.
Use during pregnancy or lactation
The product can be used during pregnancy and lactation as studies have not revealed any bad effects.
The product should not be used on dogs less than 8 weeks old or weighing less than 20kg.
Do not use on sick animals.
Do not use on rabbits or cats, as adverse reactions and even death could occur.
This product is only developed for dogs.
Avoid contact with eyes and mouth.
When treating for infestations of lice, all other dogs that yours comes into contact with should be treated at the same time.
The product does not prevent ticks from attaching to you pet, but ticks will be killed in the first 24-48 hours after attachment, therefore reducing the risk of passing on diseases. Once dead, ticks will usually drop off the animal, but any remaining ticks can be easily removed by a gentle pull.
Bathing or shampooing the dog up to one hour before treatment does not affect how the product works.
When used for the treatment of Flea Allergy Dermatitis, monthly applications to the allergic patient and to other dogs in the household are recommended.
Animals or humans with known sensitivity to insecticides or alcohol should avoid contact with the product.
This product can cause mucous membrane and eye irritation. Therefore, contact of the product with mouth and eyes of dogs and humans should be avoided.
If product enters the eyes accidently then the eye should be rinsed carefully with water.
Avoid contents coming into contact with the fingers. If this occurs, wash hands with soap and water.
Wash hands after use.
Treated animals should not be handled until the application site is dry.
You should be bath the dog in water within 2 days after application or more frequently than once a week.
Dogs should not be allowed to swim in water for 2 days after application.
There may be an attachment of single ticks. For this reason transmission of infectious diseases cannot be completely excluded if conditions are unfavourable.
Fleas often infest the animal's basket, bedding and regular resting areas such as carpets and soft furnishings which should be treated too and vacuumed regualrly.
Adverse Reactions
If licking occurs, a brief period of hypersalivation may be observed due mainly to the nature of the carrier. Among the extremely rare adverse reactions, skin discoloration, local alopecia, pruritus, erythema and general pruritus or alopecia have been reported. Exceptionally, hypersalivation, reversible neurological signs (hyperaesthesia, depression, nervous signs), vomiting and respiratory side effects have been seen.
Store in the original packaging.
Store in a dry place.
Do not store above 300C.
Any unused veterinary medicinal product or waste materials derived from such veterinary medicinal products should be disposed of in accordance with local requirements.
Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with the product or empty container.

Great ! Works well.
Frontline spot on flea drops by Charlotte - verified purchaser
These flea drops are easy to use and I like the stickers you get to stick on your calendar for a reminder! Stored well but easy to open and no mess. I use these all the time for my dog :)
perfect by mvilma6
Delivery was quick enough and the price the best one available online. will definitely use petshop again
Seems to work for ticks, not fleas by Wexfordshopper
Our dog caught fleas last year despite using Frontline and I could not get rid of them for about 2 months despite spraying the whole house etc. It was only when I switched to Advantage that we got rid of the damn things. Apparently fleas are now immune to Fipronil the active ingredient in Frontline. However it still seems to work for ticks, which Advantage doesn't do so I now use both. Therefore only giving 3 stars.

Nigel Tudor pours grain into a flour
mill inside a processing structure on
the grounds of Weatherbury Farm. The
wooden, electric-powered stone mill was
shipped from Austria, where equipment
makers haven't yet given up on mid-sized
agriculturists like the Tudors."
Dale Tudor shows off the family farm to
representatives of the Appalachian
Regional Commission. The D.C.-based ARC
was created by an act of Congress in
1965 and seeks to help the Appalachian
region compete economically.
local farm offering organic products has
captured the attention of officials in
Washington, D.C.
Members of the Appalachian Regional Commission were on the grounds of the sprawling Weatherbury Farm in Avella to get some insight into how the local business came up with its perfect blend of agri-tourism, heritage farming and hard work.
In front of several sheaves of different types of heritage wheat, Dale Tudor, who owns Weatherbury Farm along with wife Marcy and son Nigel explained the draw of small-scale farming.
'Organic soils have a better nutrient balance, and we grow types of grains that are older,' Tudor said. 'In the last 50 years, grains were developed for production yield – we've moved away from taste. Now, heritage grains offer a big difference in flavor.'
The Tudors led a group of officials from the Appalachian Regional Commission on a private tour of the farm and facilities Wednesday. The guests were in the area this week to visit rural success stories in Western Pennsylvania.
Created by an act of Congress in 1965, ARC sought to improve the economies of areas along the Appalachian mountain chain. In the last half-century, the commission has worked to make the area competitive in the global market by improving infrastructure in a region that consists of parts of 13 states.
Weatherbury Farm opened in 1992 as a bed-and-breakfast when Marcy and Dale Tudor moved back to the United States from Germany. Since then, it has grown to include a small organic farm, flocks of grass-fed Hereford cows and Southdown sheep and fields of organic wheat. The family also recently purchased a mill and pasta machine in hopes of selling their own field-to-table flour products in upcoming months.
'This will be the first operating flour mill in Washington County since 1943,' Nigel Tudor said. "The last one to close is on the bottom of Cross Creek Lake."
He said the development would allow them to offer a special treat to visitors.
'Some vineyards have an estate wine,' Nigel Tudor said. 'This will be an estate flour.'
For now, the family ships their grains to Ohio to be milled into wheat that is then sold on the farm and baked into treats for guests staying at the bed-and-breakfast.
The on-site mill is just the latest endeavor the family has made to keep their products as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. The family practices a brand of frugal, waste-nothing farming they said was influenced by their time studying techniques in Europe.
For example, the farm recycles unused hay and vegetable by-product by composting it and combining the mixture with manure to create their own chemical-free fertilizer.
'If you're organic, you treat that manure as a resource,' Dale Tudor said.
The strategy is working. Weatherbury Farm's grains have been sold to micro-distilleries and breweries, including Wigle Whiskey in Pittsburgh. Their entire inventory of 2013 grass-fed beef was sold out in three weeks after just two marketing emails were sent out.
The success story of Weatherbury Farm is the reason ARC officials singled it out while on their trip to the Pittsburgh area.
'What we've seen is an excitement for local foods,' said Appalachian Regional Commission Co-Chairman Earl Gohl. "One thing we learned on this trip is that everyone is doing something a little different, but the market is only going to grow. ' We want to help facilitate that.' "

- Boulder cop's text hours before shooting Mapleton elk: 'He's gonna die'
- Boulder officers arrested, accused of plotting 'trophy' kill of Mapleton elk
Brent Curnow, one of two former Boulder police officers accused of plotting to kill a trophy elk on Mapleton Hill on New Year's Day, was sentenced to one year of probation and 60 days of house arrest after accepting a plea deal Tuesday.
Boulder District Judge Patrick Butler also ordered Curnow to complete 120 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty to one felony and four misdemeanors.
He received a two-year deferred sentence for the felony charge, tampering with evidence. If he abides by the terms of the deferred sentence for two years, the felony would be wiped from his record.
The misdemeanor charges are illegal possession of a trophy elk with a Samson Law surcharge, conspiracy to commit illegal possession of wildlife, unlawful taking of a big game animal out of season, and unlawful use of an electronic communication device to unlawfully take wildlife.
Three other felonies and a misdemeanor were dropped in exchange for the plea.
At the sentencing, immediately following Curnow's acceptance of the plea deal, District Attorney Stan Garnett did not ask the judge for jail time, saying prosecutors felt Curnow was less culpable than Sam Carter, the ex-cop accused of actually killing the animal.
Garnett also said Curnow, very early on in the case, wanted to reach a plea deal and accept responsibility.
"I felt that this was a very fair and appropriate approach to this case," Garnett said. "The impact of this case on Mr. Curnow has been very substantial."
But Garnett did say the shooting of the elk and Curnow's role in it were a serious concern for the community and that it showed a "disconnect" between the officers and the neighborhood where the elk was beloved.
"It's a case that has struck at one of the most important things in any community -- the ability to trust law enforcement," Garnett said. "We've been trying other cases where potential jurors said, 'I don't know if I believe a police officer because of that case of the elk.'"
Judge Butler echoed that observation, saying police officers need to be "beyond reproach."
"It's the breach of the public trust that's the most egregious part of this case," Butler said.
Curnow's attorney Patrick Mulligan said his client has undergone enormous emotional and financial hardship since the charges were filed.
"The question when a man has lost everything is, 'When is enough enough?'" Mulligan said.
He said Curnow has not been able to find a full-time job since he resigned from the police department following the incident, and he's been working as a part-time handyman and construction worker when projects become available. His wife also had major surgery last week, and Curnow will be responsible for caring for his three children.
Mulligan said Curnow -- a 14-year veteran of the Boulder Police Department who has a biology degree from the University of Colorado -- was a decorated police officer as well as a member of many outdoor groups.
"Brent Curnow is a good cop and a good man," Mulligan said.
Curnow also briefly addressed the court.
"I'm truly sorry," he said.
He declined to comment on the sentence after the hearing.
But some Boulder residents in attendance -- whom Butler did not allow to speak at the hearing -- said they felt the sentence was too lenient.
"I'm really disappointed," said Rita Anderson of In Defense of Animals. "I'm angry; I feel betrayed by the system. What will I tell my grandchildren about police officers? How can I tell them you need to listen to police officers?"
According to an arrest affidavit, Carter shot and killed the elk near Mapleton Avenue and Ninth Street while on duty Jan. 1. Curnow -- who had been scheduled to work but called in sick that day -- then arrived in his pickup truck to haul away the carcass.
Although Carter told police he shot the elk because he saw it was injured, a necropsy revealed no evidence of a prior injury to the elk, and dispatch records show Carter did not report the shooting, according to court documents.
Text-messaging records also showed conversations between Carter and Curnow about killing the elk almost 20 hours before the shooting.
Mulligan said certain facts of the case were in dispute between the two sides, even as a deal was being worked out.
"It's a great deal more complex than has been portrayed or implied," he said.
Mulligan said while he was happy Curnow will have the opportunity to avoid a felony on his record, he still felt the terms of the plea were "overly punitive." But he said Curnow was eager to get the case behind him and accept responsibility.
"While not perfect, it allows for closure," Mulligan said. "Now he can go home and be the husband and the father that he is."
Carter is still scheduled for trial in October. A motions hearing in his case is today.

Afro Funké
This East African-inspired lounge is the perfect backdrop for the deeply rhythmic world music buffet on offer every Thursday. The rotating roster is like an ingathering of the African diaspora, with DJs and live music acts playing everything from Afrobeat and samba to cumbia and makossa. Translation: It's impossible not to move—the thunderous percussion invites hip-quaking abandon. Though there are certainly African expats in the mix, the patrons tend to be as diverse as the music. It all adds up to a night where "one love" seems possible (and not just a euphemism for a post-club hookup).

I'm moving this summer—a shockingly expensive endeavor. So I dumped my tax return into savings, and I've doubled my monthly auto-transfer to savings. (Go me!)
But I've struck an unexpected problem: I don't want to part with all that cash.
Over the past few months, my aggressive saving has become a source of pride. I've watched the balance grow and I feel accomplished. Responsible. Safe.
But soon, I'll be back to zero. And even though that's way better than, you know, not having the cash at all, my inner Scrooge McDuck doesn't want to let go of all those pretty green bills. Ever.
Obviously, I will spend them. Then I'll build my savings back up, and everything will be just fine. (Totally, 100% fine. Right? Deep breath.)
In the meantime, I have to get over my attachment to my cash … or I might one day end up on an A&E spinoff called Hoarders: People Who Are Weird About Money.
Out of the Box
Loosen that fist. How do you feel when it's time to spend the cash you've saved for a goal?

Jerry Seib: Obama's State of the Union Challenge
A new WSJ/NBC poll has the public lukewarm on Barack Obama but more supportive of his agenda. WSJ's Jerry Seib explains Tuesday's State of the Union will give the president the opportunity to sell his plan and a chance to persuade the public he can see it through.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
the ... president Obama goes before the nation Tuesday night for his stated the Union address in this kind of an odd position in terms of public opinion ... the nation seems relatively cool to him personally ... but is Khona warm to his agenda so the trick for the present is going to be ... to make the country warm up to him the way it's warmed up to his agenda what do I mean when I say that while a new Wall Street Journal NBC News poll shows that the president's job approval rating is only a forty three percent ... not a chick the good rating about the same ... rating as George W Bush had at this point is somewhat troubled second term six in ten say they're worried or pessimistic about the remainder of the Obama ... term ... when you look of the items the presence likely to stress one policy in the stated the Union republics behind and they want to raise the minimum wage as the president does ... they want the government to take an active role or least a slight majority what the government take an active role in addressing income inequality ... they want to push on early education something the president is almost certain ... to emphasize ... so what's the trick for the president I think the trick is to convince the public that he's the guy who can get those things done he's pointing to things the public plan large wants to see the nation accomplished ... I think one of the Proms he has is that the troubled rollout of the Affordable Care Act has left people wondering even if we agree with him ... can he be affected so this is that a message the stated the Union address in which the president now has to convince people ... that he's got ... on his agenda things they want to see done but that he knows how to get them accomplished ... this is Jerry side ...

At Nebraska, Thanksgiving Means Sharing With a Servants Heart
Randy York's N-sider
To "Respond to Randy" click on the link below and choose "Randy York's N-Sider" under "Area of Interest" on the new screen. Please include your name and city/town/state and share your thoughts on the way Nebraska Athletics in general and Nebraska football in particular approaches success in life. Your comments may be published at the bottom of this column.
Wilma Henn, 92, has been a Nebraska season ticketholder for 52 years. She's so sweet and energetic, so polite and complimentary and so knowledgeable about Nebraska football that you'd think she was ready to climb aboard the Huskers' charter flight to Colorado on Thursday.
But she can't. She's in Tabitha Hospice, bravely battling cancer day by day, week by week.
Monday, Wilma experienced one of her all-time greatest thrills, and she still can't stop smiling. That's because Nebraska junior cornerback Prince Amukamara, sophomore defensive tackle Jared Crick and freshman running back Rex Burkhead paid her a visit in a short week between classes and practice.
By the end of their one hour together, it was difficult to figure out who enjoyed the time the most ... Wilma or the three Nebraska players who had just met an amazing woman they will never forget.
"She inspired me more than I inspired her," Amukamara said. "She has so much faith and so much joy. She made me realize how important it is to persevere through every situation, just like she's doing."
"Wilma is a wonderful lady," Crick said. "She's amazing, and her life story is incredible. I'm a great listener, so I loved hearing how she grew up in Northeast Nebraska, worked at the state Capitol for more than 40 years and has remained so loyal to this football program for so long."
A 'Real Tandem' and a Broken Foot
Wilma's mind is razor sharp, and she didn't hesitate to tell Crick something he didn't expect to hear. "You and Suh are a real tandem," she said. "It makes me proud every time I watch you play."
A few minutes later, she turned to Burkhead. "How's your foot?" she asked. "I was surprised you were able to play against Kansas State."
Three Nebraska players, perhaps a bit surprised themselves with how savvy Wilma was, presented her with an autographed football. She promptly, and a little awkwardly, clutched on to it like she was ready to bust through a linebacker herself.
So Burkhead, kindly and very gently, showed Wilma how to hold onto the football properly. She listened and did just what he told her. Fully confident in her new-found skill, Wilma said that no one is going to steal that football from her, even if she is less than 5 feet tall.
"It's humbling when you visit people who are fighting for their lives with such strength and courage," Burkhead said. "When you see how positive they are in the way they fight, you can't help but understand how important it is to show the same kind of strength and courage every day yourself."
Burkhead gets the essence of what Tom Osborne believes, Bo Pelini reinforces and Keith Zimmer nurtures almost every day, all year long.
A Servant's Heart Supplants Self-Centeredness
"Sometimes, athletics can become a self-centered endeavor, where it's all about you," said Osborne, Nebraska's athletic director. "You get a lot of publicity and attention, so it's a big deal when a Nebraska football player can visit someone who's hospitalized or in some type of difficult circumstance. But really, it's about having a servant's heart and sharing with others. That's more important than anything."
At Nebraska, life skills are not a secondary priority. "We recruit unselfish guys who have lot of character," Pelini said. "This is a big part of that character - giving back, especially at a time like Thanksgiving, when you know people are going through some tough times. It's important to understand the big picture. We're not here just to win football games. We're here to develop young men in every area of their lives."
Zimmer, Nebraska's Associate Athletic Director for Life Skills, is the catalyst that helps light the fire for community service. "Our teams and our student-athletes have a lot to be thankful for around here," he said. "They get great support from within and great support from the outside."
Wilma Henn is part of that outside support. "She represents countless other fans that follow this football team," Zimmer said. "She follows us so closely that our players are almost like part of her family. So when those three players met Wilma and saw how sensitive, genuine and concerned she was about them, a light went on for them, too. They realized that when they give back, it means something, and ultimately, having a servant's heart will become part of their lifestyle when they leave here."
That goal is one of Osborne's top priorities as athletic director. Last Sunday night, when he spoke to about 200 Nebraska student-athletes at a Life Skills seminar, Osborne remembered sitting next to Bob Devaney when he was dying.
The two Hall-of-Fame coaches shared no thoughts about the wins they experienced. There was no mention of their national championship trophies, their conference championship rings or their bowl game watches. No, they talked about the relationships Devaney developed, and the impact he had on so many young men's lives. A tear rolled down Devaney's cheek during the conversation, and when Osborne communicated that intensely private moment to his audience Sunday night, he choked up himself.
Pelini: Our Job is to Keep Young Men Grounded
Make no mistake. Championships remain a focal point for Nebraska's program, but the foundation is built on something much stronger. "You can be a big Nebraska football player and think that everybody you deal with perceives you that way," Pelini said. "But you can lose sight of that in a hurry. It's our job to keep these young men grounded, to keep them well-rounded, so that they get a full experience here. Service is a big part of it. The Life Skills aspect is huge for us."
So huge, in fact, that there's competition for volunteer hours among all 23 programs in Nebraska Athletics. "We've been doing this through our Life Skills program for a long time," Osborne pointed out. "It's competitive to see which teams can contribute the most service. It means quite a bit, and we have Life Skills awards just like we have Academic awards at the end of the year. We also have Brook Berringer awards for service to others. It means a lot to our athletes."
That's why Zimmer didn't have to coax the football team to step up to an important opportunity Wednesday morning. When about 75 players answered the call, three buses were ordered to visit three Lincoln hospitals - Bryan LGH East, the Nebraska Heart Hospital and St. Elizabeth's Regional Medical Center.
Amakumara, Crick and Burkhead signed up for another stint, and Pelini was not surprised.
"Crick visited my son's school earlier this fall for a reading program," Pelini said. "Everybody at the school raved about Jared and how many rooms he went to, how he read and how much time he spent there. There are a lot of people who go through the motions in situations like that, but our kids don't approach it that way. They take responsibility. Keith Zimmer does a great job getting these kids ready, and Jeff Jamrog does a great job helping create the time. Our kids understand that it's worthwhile for them, too. They come out of these experiences feeling good about giving something back."
Jamrog, a former Husker Academic All-American and now Assistant Athletic Director for Football Operations, says it's important for student-athletes to remember who helped influence their lives when they were younger. "Our players and our coaches know how special it is to be at the University of Nebraska," Jamrog said. "We're thankful every day we walk into this building. Anyone who can help a little kid, a young man or woman or older people is more than willing to help make a difference."
Jamrog said he knew Burkhead was special the first day he practiced as a Husker. "The Sunday after that first practice, we didn't have a meeting until 1 o'clock," Jamrog recalled, "but Rex was in the football office around 10:30, waiting to watch film. It tells you something about his makeup. His decision came down to Stanford and Nebraska. We're glad he chose Nebraska. Even as a true freshman, he sets a tone, on and off the field."
Roy Helu Jr., also has a servant's heart and calls Burkhead one of his best friends. "He was raised in a Christian home, and nothing he does is superficial," Helu said. "His relationship with God is really personal to him and motivates him to do what he does. You can tell that hard work and a giving spirit were instilled in him. He's really a special kid ... really special ... very, very mature."
Treat Others the Way You Want to Be Treated
As much as he appreciates the confidence shown by his older teammates, Burkhead does not feel all that special. "I just believe my parents brought me up the right way," he said. "They always instilled in me to stay humble and treat others the way you want to be treated. They also emphasized how you can learn life lessons from other people, just like we learned from Wilma."
Amukamara learned something from Crick as well as from Wilma. "Jared and I practice every day together as Blackshirts," Prince said. "He's so quiet, but maybe that's because I'm always talking. I've just never really heard him talk much until we met Wilma. It was a side of Jared I'd never seen. He was interacting so well with Wilma that he was making us all smile and laugh.
"It was a blessing for all three of us to share what we were able to share with Wilma," Amukamara said. "Keith told us going out there that when we were kids, we wanted to be heroes who could help people and now that we're older, we can. I think we were heroes to Wilma. She kept telling us she was speechless. Just the look on her face made the trip worthwhile. She was so thankful we came and had so much energy. You would never have known she was sick."
After meeting Wilma and seeing how she's persevering, "there's no way I'm going to give up on the football field," Burkhead said. "She gives me even more faith and more confidence."
Helu said he also draws inspiration from serving others. "When you talk to older people, you learn things that might spark a little energy and change your perspective on certain things," he said.
The energy you send to others, Helu indicated, has a way of coming back to you.
Last Thanksgiving week, for instance, Helu and many of his closest friends, visited former Husker Olympic gold medal sprinter Charlie Greene in the Madonna Rehabilitation Center.
"When you're stuck in the hospital for whatever reason, it makes you feel good when you know somebody cares about you," Greene said. "Last Thanksgiving, Keith Zimmer arranged for the volleyball team to visit me at Madonna. I got to know all of those players, and like everyone else in this state, I was jumping up and down in my hospital room when they rallied to beat Washington.
"Then the football players came by, and they made me feel real good, too," Greene recalled. "They had a tremendous influence on my recovery. When they came in, on their own time, to encourage me, it made me think how I needed to work harder in my rehabilitation, so I could walk again and try to be what I used to be, even if it was in my own mind. Those young people inspire you. They absolutely do."
Ask Charlie Greene. Ask Wilma Henn. Ask anybody what it means when Nebraska student-athletes go beyond themselves to encourage you and inspire you.
Give Wilma the Picture, but Replace the Sound
Friday afternoon, Wilma will do what she always does when the Huskers play on TV. She will turn on the ABC channel and turn down the volume. Then she will turn on her radio so she can hear some familiar voices ... Greg Sharpe, Adrian Fiala, Matt Davison and Lane Grindle.
"She's really looking forward to this Colorado game," Zimmer said, "and, needless to say, she's all fired up for the Big 12 Championship Game in Dallas, too."
Wilma knows that Plano, a Dallas suburb, is Burkhead's home stomping grounds.
Imagine sitting next to Wilma and watching that game with her.
Is there any doubt that she will be clutching a certain football in her right arm, one presented to her by three of her favorite players on her favorite team?
And just how cool is that?
Voices from Husker Nation
Thanks for the great story about Wilma and the Huskers. It really warmed my heart. I'm sure this is one of those stories that wrote itself. It's truly a real-life example of the words chiseled into Memorial Stadium that I carry with me every day of my life. Great job. Ron Sinclair, Chicago, Illinois
I have no words to express to thank you for this story. I am Wilma's hospice volunteer and was there when the Nebraska players came to visit. She broke down and cried after they left. Bless you. Vicki Lamb, Lincoln, Nebraska
A big thank you to all the Huskers who visited the hospitals the other day. My aunt was in one of the hospitals and enjoyed having the opportunity to visit with the football players. As a former student-athlete myself, I know you work hard - on and off the field. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for all of your community involvement. Go Big Red! Brenda Campbell-Yturralde
Another great story about how Nebraska Football takes care of their family. Count me as one fan of Husker Football with tears in my eyes while reading this story of "Thanksgiving Means Sharing With a Servant's Heart". Working here in France, this means a lot to me because this is my first year without family or friend for Thanksgiving. I get great pleasure reading these stories that connect me with the program I love. Keep up the great work. Robin Simmons, Pierrevert, France
Once again you found the deeper meaning to what it is to be a Cornhusker and to grow up in Nebraska. Wilma's story can reflect so many over the years. I appreciate what Coach Osborne is doing to make sure all that showed loyalty to Nebraska are getting their due respect. Scott Buescher, Olathe, Kansas
Thank you for being willing to publish the quotes about the personal faith of these men. In a day when political correctness is the order of things, it is important for people to see that character development has a connection to faith. Go Huskers! Tom Walker, Longmont, Colorado
Thanks for another great column. This is the sort of story that produces goose bumps and tears to the reader, not to mention a bit of perspective. Husker Nation is lucky to have Coach Osborne back at the helm and having this sort of influence on the entire athletic department. Joe Petersen, Midland, Texas
This is the type of story that reminds me of why I am so proud to be a Husker fan. It is not only the tradition on the field that Nebraska is known for, but also turning out quality young men. People all over the country know of Nebraska's Academic All-American tradition as well. I believe that with Tom Osborne's influence, Nebraska brought in Bo Pelini, a coach that understands the importance of building young men of CHARACTER. Thanks for the article. Keith White
Thanks for the uplifting story of the athletes and their work in the community. It goes to show there is more to life than what goes on both on the field or on the court. The Life Skills program is doing just what the name says, giving Husker athletes skills for life. Jeff Kelley
Thank you so much for the article about the football team visiting Lincoln hospitals today. Two players visited my sister, who is a patient at St. Elizabeth's. This meant so much to her, because she is not very well and will be spending Thanksgiving in the hospital. Sherrie Dux-Ideus
This was an outstanding column on "sharing". It shows how boys grow up to be men and how much there is to life after football. Kay Peters
Just read your Thanksgiving article on Wilma. It was awesome. Keep up the great work! We are gearing up for the FreedMen Conference on April 17th next spring. Happy Thanksgiving! Mike Bliss, Bennington, Nebraska (Editor's note: Bliss was part of the team led by Nebraska Assistant Coach Ron Brown and former Husker Captain Stan Parker that brought together 4,200 men to Nebraska's 2009 Spring Game).
Great article. So many times you hear and read of the negative downfalls of student-athletes, but this article brings warmth to the heart. It revealed the good Cornhusker spirit of the fans and players. Hang on to that football Wilma. Go Huskers! Larry Snider, Rancho Cucamonga, California

Gideon Koren, MD, FRCPC; Ronen Loebstein, MD; Irena Nulman, MD
January, 1998
One of my female patients drinks heavily. Although she is not planning to conceive, I worry that her lifestyle might lead to pregnancy and danger for her fetus. What do you recommend?
You should counsel your patient on effective contraception and advise her about the advantages of the various methods available.
Despite increased awareness of the effects of drug and other substance abuse over the past few decades, it was not until 1968 that Lemoine et al1 described the many ways alcohol affects developing fetuses. In 1973, Jones and Smith2 defined the complete pattern of malformations termed fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).
The prevalence of alcohol consumption among women aged 18 to 34 years ranges from 60% to 75%, with 4% considered to be alcohol abusers or alcohol dependent.3,4 Lower prevalence has been recorded during pregnancy: 20% among adult women, and less than 1% among alcohol abusers.3 No evidence, however, indicates that the heavy drinkers are drinking any less during pregnancy. The literature on the prevalence and epidemiology of FAS is far from consistent. According to various studies, the worldwide incidence of infants with FAS ranges from 0.5 to three per 1000 births. This rate reaches 4.3% among heavily drinking mothers. Much more complicated is evaluating the incidence of infants with fetal alcohol effects (FAE), currently estimated to be two to six per 1000 births.4
Features of FAS
The main features of FAS are:
Abnormalities in cognition, language, and behaviour might be evident also. Alcohol-related birth defects (cardiac, skeletal, renal, ocular, auditory) could contribute to establishing the diagnosis as well.
Diagnosing FAS
Several factors combine to complicate making a diagnosis of FAS.
Accurate establishment of alcohol exposure history. Establishing the history is one of the most difficult issues in diagnosing FAS. Patients usually are not forthright about their drinking habits nor are they necessarily able to recall the precise quantities and timing of their drinks. In the absence of a specific biomarker to detect alcohol exposure, detailed and accurate history remains a pivotal tool in establishing the diagnosis.
Diagnostic criteria for FAS. The diagnostic criteria were based on the clinical features of infants and young children. Craniofacial anomalies are often less prominent in premature infants and might disappear completely during adolescence.
Labeling a child with FAS is problematical. Labeling a child might act as a double-edged sword. On one hand, the diagnosis might validate a patient's disabilities and facilitate appropriate medical, social, and educational interventions; on the other hand, it might stigmatize patients and their families and prevent them from accessing the multidisciplinary treatment they need.
Streissguth et al5-7 studied the long-term cognitive and neurobehavioural effects of FAS. A 7.5-year follow-up study of 384 children exposed prenatally to alcohol showed that alcohol-induced brain insults affect a range of neuropsychologic and cognitive functions. Both binge and regular drinking in the period before pregnancy are associated with a specific neuropsychologic pattern that includes attention and memory deficits, both verbal and visual. A variety of process disabilities, such as poor integration and quality of responses, was noted, together with behavioural patterns such as poor social adaptability and lack of organizational skills.
Important data demonstrate the nonverbal learning deficits associated with alcohol exposure at the level of social drinking. This long-term follow up indicated that the neurobehavioural consequences of prenatal alcohol exposure are not attenuating with age, further emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention.8
Physicians caring for infants and children sometimes fail to suspect the diagnosis because they do not know about FAS and FAE or because an accurate history of the mother's drinking is not available. Of equal concern is the fact that very few centres nationwide offer full diagnostic capability, including focused neurodevelopmental testing.
Fetal alcohol effects
Although investigation initially focused on FAS, it is now recognized that FAS represents only a small part of a much larger clinical and social problem termed FAE. The classic triad for diagnosing FAS described by Jones and Smith2 does not refer to neurobehavioural abnormalities. Even as awareness of FAS grew, clinicians faced many patients exposed in utero to various amounts of alcohol who did not have the classic features but who did have a variety of neurobehavioural abnormalities. Jones and Smith proposed a new term, FAE. It refers to the behavioural and cognitive problems of children exposed to alcohol in utero who lack the typical diagnostic features of full-blown FAS. Because of difficulties in measuring exposure to alcohol and in quantifying behavioural and cognitive problems, the exact definition of FAE is controversial, despite the term's current wide use.
Investigation of children with FAE has demonstrated that they have better cognitive abilities than those with FAS, but their behavioural functions, especially social adaptability, are similar. The combination of better cognition with poor social adaptability leads these children to disruptive behaviour in school, inappropriate sexual behaviour, drug problems, delinquency, dependent living, and unemployment, all of which have been termed secondary disabilities.9 Among the many factors examined, only intelligence quotient score below 70 and early diagnosis (before age 6) were shown to be strong protective factors against development of those secondary disabilities.9 Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention might change the appearance and course of secondary disabilities but not primary disabilities, which most probably are not influenced by intervention.
Prevention of secondary disabilities
Physicians should intervene as early as possible with children with FAS or FAE to prevent development of secondary disabilities. Efforts to prevent secondary disabilities should involve coordinating several levels of diagnosis and intervention to maximize the child's postnatal development. It is important to recognize that, although the main harmful effects of alcohol occur in utero, a great deal of neurologic development occurs after birth. Some progress can be made by using techniques geared to meeting the special needs of children with FAS and FAE. Screening development of children in high-risk groups and early intervention with medical, speech, physical, emotional, and social services for both affected children and their parents have been demonstrated to be effective.10
While prevention and treatment of mothers' alcohol abuse are extremely difficult and often unsuccessful, effective contraception is a more tangible measure of primary prevention of fetal alcohol exposure. Young, sexually active women who abuse alcohol often engage in unplanned and unprotected sex. When effective contraception is desired, but compliance with oral contraceptives is unreliable, injection of medroxyprogesterone acetate (Depo-Provera) or using the implantable preparations of these hormones (eg, Norplant) can provide reversible contraception for up to 5 years.11 Using an intrauterine device should be considered also. Family physicians should take a leading role in making effective contraception available to all women known to abuse alcohol.
Once heavy drinking during early pregnancy has been diagnosed, physicians should discuss fetal risks with the woman and her family in the same way other risks are discussed. Some women will choose to terminate pregnancy. While such a decision is a woman's responsibility, physicians have a serious obligation to inform women accurately about fetal risks. It is important that everything possible be done to ensure discontinuation of drinking if a woman chooses to continue with a pregnancy and to ensure successful follow up after delivery.
Alcohol-related fetal effects are among the most common causes
of mental retardation and other forms of congenital brain injury. They
can be prevented completely at the primary level. As a community of
physicians, we must struggle to prevent this tragedy. We must get
better at suspecting and diagnosing FAS and its effects in infants,
children, and adolescents. We must provide better counseling for
parents with drinking problems, and counsel adolescents better about
drinking and family planning. We must adopt more effective strategies
for preventing pregnancy. We must be better advocates for children with
FAS and FAE and help them find support systems geared to meet their
special needs.

Hillary Clinton and White House try to shrug off split
Thursday, August 14, 2014
VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. -- In yet another twist in their complex and heavily scrutinized relationship, Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Barack Obama did their best to shrug off their differences Wednesday as they gathered on Martha's Vineyard following a foreign policy split.
Obama's spokesman said the White House "is looking onwards and upwards," while Clinton joked she was planning on hugging it out with her former boss at a party on the upscale getaway where the president was vacationing.
"We have disagreements as any partners and friends, as we are, might very well have," Clinton told reporters crowded into a bookstore signing of her memoir "Hard Choices." "But I'm proud that I served with him and for him, and I'm looking forward to seeing him tonight."
Clinton made her first public comments since a flap emerged over her interview with The Atlantic magazine in which she seemed to try to set herself apart from the unpopular Obama as she heads toward a possible 2016 White House bid.
"Great nations need organizing principles, and 'don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle," she had said in the interview, referring to a version of the phrase Obama and his advisers have used privately to describe his approach to foreign policy. Clinton described a more aggressive approach she would take in places like Syria and the Mideast.
Her critiques came at a particularly challenging time for Obama, with bombs falling on Iraq and disputes raging in Syria, the Mideast, Ukraine and elsewhere. A former top Obama adviser, David Axelrod, took to Twitter to write: "Just to clarify: 'Don't do stupid stuff' means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place, which was a tragically bad decision."
It was her biggest split with Obama since their 2008 presidential primary campaign when she questioned whether her younger Senate colleague was qualified to take a 3 a.m. phone call on a foreign policy emergency. Clinton took a more hawkish stance than Obama in that campaign, particularly on the Iraq War, but Obama put their bitter contest behind them by naming her his top diplomat.
Clinton loyally carried out Obama's foreign policy agenda for four years as secretary of state, but described some objections she raised internally in her new book, which focused on her time in the administration. She expanded on those objections in her interview, saying Obama's "failure" to fully support the rebels in Syria fueled the rise of Islamic State militants now the object of U.S. airstrikes in Iraq.
Reporters who crowded around a table set up for Clinton's signing at the Bunch of Grapes bookstore asked her whether she disagreed with Obama's Iraq policy.
"I'm excited about signing books," she said, turning to a line of hundreds that snaked through the rainy streets near the ferry dock that brings summer visitors to the island. About 1,000 copies of the book were bought in advance, and the store was open only for those who had made the purchases.
Obama spokesman Eric Schultz declined to say whether the president was upset over her critique of his performance as he juggles several crises overseas, although he acknowledged "an honest policy difference" on the Syrian rebels. Schultz said Obama appreciated that Clinton called the president Tuesday to say she was not trying to attack him. Schultz described the two as having "a close and resilient relationship."
The president and first lady Michelle Obama later arrived at the Farm Neck Golf Club for an 80th birthday celebration for Ann Jordan, wife of Democratic adviser Vernon Jordan. The media was not allowed in to see Clinton's promised hug.
"I believe the president and Secretary Clinton have had many hugs over the past few years," Schultz said. "I suspect many of them have been caught on camera."
Martha's Vineyard native Dana Jacobs, a rising sophomore at Boston's Northeastern University, said she was a supporter of Obama but a bigger fan of Clinton after reading in her book how she handled foreign policy challenges. She said Obama was dealt "a really difficult hand of cards."
"I think something more dramatic would have been good, a little more change," Jacobs said, as she left clutching a signed copy of the book in which Clinton described her world view.

Ontario is one of the largest provinces in Canada, and home to some of Canada's largest cities such as Toronto and Ottawa. Ontario is larger than the United Kingdom, and the vastness of this province provides plenty of variety & diversity for those visiting Canada. As such, there are plenty of good holiday lodges for rent in Ontario, and with some less than $400 a week holiday lodges in Ontario can be a good economical alternative to hotels.
As mentioned, Ontario is a land of diversity and has some fantastic natural landscapes. To begin with, there is the Niagara Falls located on the River Niagara south-east of Toronto. This majestic waterfall is approximately 188 ft high, 2,200ft wide, and is one of Canada's most famous natural landmarks. There are a variety of vantage points around the Niagara Falls such as the Skylon Tower observation deck, and the Maid of the Mist boat trip can take you to the foot of the falls. Lakeside holiday lodges in Niagara on the Lake can also be a good to stay at when visiting Niagara. Beyond Niagara is Toronto, the largest city in Canada. Toronto's landmark CN Tower is the highest free-standing tower in the world at 1,815 ft which provides fine views of the city. Close to the CN Tower there is also the Rogers Centre stadium which hosts a variety of sports and concerts.
For family holidays in Ontario the Algonquin Provincial Park is a good destination. The park stretches thousands of miles, and is one of the oldest and more historic national parks in Ontario. There is some great scenery at this national park, with scenic fishing lakes set among its coniferous forests. Within the park there are various canoe lakes, the Algonquin Logging Museum, and Algonquin gallery. Rental lodges in Algonquin, such as Killarney Lodges, have a variety of amenities and can be ideal for families and larger groups.
Aside from Toronto, Ottawa is also one of Ontario's largest cities. Ottawa has a few great destinations for days trips such as the National Gallery of Canada. This is one of the largest museums in Canada, and displays a variety of art such as prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings from Europe, Canada, and America. In addition to this, there is the Redeau Canal which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and scenic waterway for boat trips through Ottawa. The Great Lakes area also has some more historic destinations such as the restored British stockade Fort George in Niagra on the Lake, and Fort Erie in Lake Erie.

The news was apparently on Monday: now the English news is full of it.
I first learned of the blacklist from Asiaone:
The naming and shaming of 43 poorly managed universities by the Education Ministry on Monday has spawned confusion and concern among universities, with some decrying the label or expressing worries about next year's freshmen recruitment.
But a closer look and deliberate search finds the news everywhere.
Officials have said that an equal provision of funds to all schools would be a waste of taxpayer money and could end up as a lifeline for uncompetitive colleges. President Lee Myung-bak has also called for college restructuring as a condition for providing government money to universities.
In South Korea, 80 percent of higher education institutions are operated by private foundations that rely heavily on tuition for revenue.
And also:
The ministry said it has chosen the universities in consultation with advisory bodies based on the results of a university evaluation that used criteria, such as the employment rate of graduates, the yearly enrollment rate and the number of full-time instructors.
The Herald has copied the same press release as Yonhap.
The news has reached Malaysia, where Bermana reports:
The education ministry has selected 43 private universities that will have their subsidies partly cut or denied next year as part of a government drive to weed out poorly managed schools.
I find this big news especially as I just finished writing a big article saying that blacklists couldn't happen here. I don't exactly have egg on my face, but perhaps on my freshly washed jacket.
My old university is on the list, which I cannot find in full anywhere - Asiaone names a handful of the schools in question. I hope that my friends are okay, or will be okay during the next semester. Time to dust off those resumes!

Remember those long hot summer days, back in your childhood, when the musical sounds of an ice cream truck pulling into your neighborhood sent you bolting out the door and running into the street, painting the sidewalk with your saliva along the way? Well prepare to feed your inner child another tasty treat. Tiny Code, the site behind Installer.app repositories (yes, THAT installer.app) has apparently leaked information regarding Apple's upcoming iPhone SDK, claiming that it was working with Apple to develop said SDK, no less.
The site, which went down soon after exposing its alliance with Apple, now redirects to Apple's developer website. Huh, you say? Yeah, that was my reaction as well. But let's be honest here; the iPhone jailbreaking /hacking community has been so creative in implementing application development and integration, is it any wonder Apple may have to chosen to use this as a base for its own framework? Makes sense to me. As the saying goes... "Always dance with the one who brung you."

I like this book because it shows you how friends stand by your side, even if you become different from them. My favorite part was when Ryan hid in Mrs. Kowalski's spice closet and almost got caught when he sneezed. I thought Ryan was a very good friend because he kept on persuading Kevin to do something when Kevin said he couldn't do it. This story reminded me of the time when I burned my leg really badly and couldn't go to school for 3 months. My friends came to my house every day and played and helped me.
I would recommend this book to people because it has action, excitement, and interesting places and discriptions. People who like fiction stories and have a great imagination will like this book. The suspenseful parts, when Ryan is always so close to getting caught, are the parts that most people would enjoy. This book is for those who care for others, and those who know how to be a true friend.

The Black Box Theatre has lined up a buffet of theater for its spring production, which aims to satisfy an appetite for variety and for fresh, funny and sometimes moving glimpses into the human experience. Artists' Exchange will showcase a collection of short one-act plays by award-winning playwright Mark Harvey Levine from March 22 through April 1 at the Black Box Theatre. The series, with the working title, "Play by Play," features some of the shorter works of Levine, who was originally from Pittsburgh and currently lives in Pasadena. His works have been staged from New York to Seoul to Sydney to London. His plays "Superhero," "Scripted" and "The Rental" have been staged previously at Artists' Exchange as part of its 2010 and 2011 One Act Play Festivals. The Black Box Theatre has been Levine's only Rhode Island venue.
"I find his writing to be always clever and often hysterical, and he has the rare ability to say quite a bit in a brief amount of time," said Rich Morra, artistic director of The Black Box Theatre.
"Play by Play's" lineup is as follows: "LA 8 AM," "Up On The Roof," "A Little Fresh Air," "Misfortune," "Nicole," "Filthy Rich," "Empty Shelves," "The Order," "A Birthday Party," "Shades," "A Nice Danish Boy," "The Kiss," "Cabfare for the Common Man" and "Two Minute Warning."
"Play by Play" will open on Thursday, March 22 at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre at Artists' Exchange. Performances will be on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. with matinees on Sunday at 2 p.m. The last show is Sunday, April 1. All tickets are $15. Call 490-9475 for reservations. Artists' Exchange is located at 50 Rolfe Square in Cranston. For more information, contact Christina Mealey at 490-9475.


text: Secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the American Civil War, comprises the series of events that began on December 20, 1860, and extended through June 8 of the next year when eleven states in the Lower and Upper South severed their ties with the Union. The first seven seceding states of the Lower South set up a provisional government at Montgomery, Alabama. After hostilities began at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861, the border states of Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to Richmond, Virginia. The Union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. Twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the United States, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the Confederate States of America.
