SOARES, Cássia Baldini; CAMPOS, Célia Maria Sivalli; LEITE, Adriana de Souza y SOUZA, Cristina Lourdes Leite de. Young people and drug consumption: workshops to provide tools for workers in social institutions, from a collective health perspective. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1414-3283.
The objective of this study was, through workshops, to provide tools for workers in social institutions who work with young people, so that they could understand present-day drug consumption. It started from the presupposition that approaching this topic from a collective health perspective, i.e. from understanding the structure of the production, distribution and consumption of drugs today, the work of these institutions might be improved. The aim was to investigate the effectiveness of workshops as tools in the educational process. The methodology consisted of systematically conducting workshops within a theoretical-methodological framework of historical-critical theory. The workers' participation evolved qualitatively, thereby showing that the knowledge identified, along with the common sense initially brought in, evolved into comprehension of the roots of harmful drug consumption and into surmounting reiterative practices that fed back into myths, prejudice and stereotypes regarding users, as well as gaining respect for the power and effects of drugs.
Palabras clave : Young people; Drug consumption; Education; Collective health.

CRESTVIEW � With the Pearl Tyner Auditorium stage populated by a cast of more than 40 young thespians, it is indeed "A Wonderful Life," the Crestview High School drama department's fall show. Nov. 17 is your last chance to see it.
I love high school theatre. I love seeing the kids up on the stage indulging in that ultimate fantasy: to become, for just a couple hours, an entirely different person and live that person�s life, speak that person�s words and feel � and emote � that person�s emotions.
The more students I see populating a stage, the more I love the show because it means all the more young people being exposed to one of the most embracing of the performing arts. Each of them, no matter how seemingly small the role, knows their character is an integral part of the story and has made the decision to commit himself or herself to the success of the evening. And such is the case with �It�s a Wonderful Life,� the beloved Frank Capra film unfolding in real life on the Pear Tyner Auditorium stage at Crestview High School.
Director and drama teacher Annette Gebhardt has assembled a likable, enthusiastic cast of 43 students, ranging in age from middle school to kids from her own high school classes. Together the youthful performers become the population of Bedford Falls and share in the telling of the story of George Bailey as he approaches the most critical night of his life.
The minimalist streetscape set � whether intentional or not � effectively turned the focus of the performance almost exclusively on the young performers and their story, and was far more effective than had every store�s fa�ade been rendered in minute detail.
Many of the young thespians who appear in the play are old friends from previous productions. It�s always fun to see them mature as actors before many of them, bitten by the stage bug, move on to major in theatre in college. But in this early stage of their careers, it�s a rare treat indeed when a couple suddenly find that magic whatsis and make the transition from kid-acting-a-part to actor-being-a-character.
In �It�s a Wonderful Life,� that has happened to Ryan Vance, who plays George Bailey, and Brittany Agee, who plays his longtime girlfriend and then wife, Mary Hatch Bailey. Somewhere, shortly after the curtain opened on Act II, I was no longer watching another enjoyable performance by Ryan and Brittany. I was watching George and Mary�s soap opera of a life, and both young performers are to be commended for making that critical leap into actorhood.
There were other standouts in the show that contributed to the large audience�s enjoyment of the familiar holiday favorite. Mac Sticha as the angel (second class, sans wings) Clarence Odbody and his brother, Zac Sticha, as Uncle Billy both played critical roles and ably plunged into their parts. While one can�t help but compare their performances to those of Henry Travers and Thomas Mitchell in the 1946 film, it was satisfying to see the boys making a conscientious effort to interpret the characters in their own way, just as Ryan and Brittany divorced themselves from James Stewart and Donna Reed�s performances.
Other standouts included Briana Schiro as Violet Peterson, Courtney Jones as Aunt Tilly, Jonathan Baughman as Mr. Potter, and Alex Andrews and Jeff Linares as Bert and Ernie. It was great to see the quartet of youngsters playing George and Mary�s kids � Abby Keiffer, Ty Gebhardt, Vince Lancaster and Emily Keiffer � adding a bit of age appropriateness to the roles. As much as I willingly suspend reality when attending student productions, it�s always toughest trying to reconcile a high school student portraying a young �un against his peers.
Kudos to Gebhardt for not just adding this enjoyable touch, but also for giving younger kids a taste of the footlights. With her daughter Madeline as assistant director, Bridget Worth as tech director and a tech crew list as long as the cast list (including a couple guys manhandling the Frankensteinian light cage: won�t some wealthy alumnus please donate some decent tech equipment for these stellar productions?), �It�s a Wonderful Life� is a wonderful evening of local theatre.
How wonderful? I got sniffy and teary-eyed at the warmhearted ending. That means everybody on the stage was doing their job.

Two local residents speaking out Monday against some aspects of a proposed Craven County tall structures ordinance prompted commissioners to push it aside again for further review.
Two local residents speaking out Monday against some aspects of a proposed Craven County tall structures ordinance prompted commissioners to push it aside again for further review.
Zach Taylor of Trent Woods and Henry �Bud� Stilley of New Bern did not speak against having an ordinance to regulate wind energy and cell phone towers or the importance of making sure the structures don�t harm military air traffic.
In separate comments, however, both said they believe the proposed ordinance goes too far.
Speaking after Landon Holland of Holland and Associates Consulting spelled out changes incorporated into the proposed ordinances following the first public hearing, Stilley said he thinks the ordinance is a �solution looking for a problem.�
�Lumping wind with broadband is a mistake,� said Stilley.
And, with the importance of broadband, some aspects of the proposed ordinance make it appear commissioners are relegating it to the back stage, according to Stilley
The way it is written, approval has to comply with comments of the military, allowing commissioners to relinquish some of the power Craven voters gave them, Stilley said.
With other concerns highlighted, Stilley said, it �shows me we�ve gone too fast.�
Taylor said that given the economy, business events or delays in equipment availability could cause delays in completion or use of a structure longer than the 180 days the ordinance allows before it is determined abandoned.
He urged commissioners to redefine non-participating landowner in the language of the ordinance and said a surety bond of 125 percent of the cost of demolition and removal of a tall structure, held for years and years, would �run businesses away from Craven County.�
Stilley and Taylor encouraged the board to at least wait until after a symposium on tall structures scheduled for New Bern�s Doubletree hotel on April 24 before voting on the proposed ordinance.
Chairman Scott Dacey said, �I never viewed the military review as stepping on the toes of the commissioners. From the outset, protecting the military�s interest is why we did the ordinance. And, the wind energy industry did not take issue with bonding or other issues the men brought up.�
Commissioner Steve Tyson said, �I think we should drop back and punt and look into some of these concerns.� He moved, and Commissioner Jeff Taylor seconded the motion, to spend more time developing the ordinance.

A demographer says the super-rich are likely to have less impact on Aspen's economy in the future and that tourists and retirees will play a bigger role.
Jim Westkott, the former senior demographer for Colorado, told local officials Wednesday the recession has changed his outlook for Aspen and other resort areas.
Westkott says construction of large second homes for wealthy part-time residents created jobs in construction, landscaping and cleaning.
He says he now expects fewer big, single-family homes to be built and spending by ski visitors to decline.
But Westkott predicts an increase in construction of moderate- and large-size attached homes and more summertime tourism.
He says some houses in the 10,000-square-foot range could even be converted into duplexes, co-ops or some type of assisted living facilities.

SPRINGFIELD – State Rep. John Anthony accepted Thursday the apology of another representative who appeared to make a racial comment directed at him.
State Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, apologized Thursday morning for comments made Wednesday she said were taken out of context and were not aimed at Anthony's biracial background. Anthony lives in Plainfield and represents much of Grundy County in the state House 75th District.
"Representative Chapa LaVia has apologized twice and I take her at her word that she is regretful for her comments, although I wish she would reconsider her unrelenting efforts to dismantle charter schools in Illinois," Anthony said in a written statement.
On the floor Wednesday of the House of Representatives, Chapa LaVia appeared to call Anthony, the only ethnic minority Republican in the House, a "half" during debate on a bill regarding charter schools.
"Listen to me minorities," Chapa LaVia said during the debate, according to video posted at CapitolFax.com. "I'm over here because we're all over on this side, right? What you'll also find, wait, we have a half, we have a half. So our children that we find that are in the lower percentile, and the highest ability to go up, right, are being denied access to some of these grade schools, because we don't have the parent engagement we would like."
Chapa LaVia apologized to representatives for the comment during Thursday morning's House session.
"I want to deeply apologize to my side of the aisle over here, my colleagues my brothers and sisters, for my personality meltdown yesterday," Chapa LaVia said, according to a second video posted on CapitolFax.com. "I love all of you, and I respect all of you here, and I deeply apologize for the words that came out of my mouth.
"The tongue, sometimes it's the most dangerous part of somebody's body. So, [House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Westchester] and all my colleagues, I hope you accept my apology from the bottom of my heart."
Chapa LaVia said she didn't mean for "half" to be in reference to Anthony during her emotionally charged speech, but she was talking about the Democrat half of the House floor.
Durkin accepted Chapa LaVia's apology, but also spoke about the necessity to maintain respect while serving in the Legislature.
"During the course of every session, we all feel different levels of frustration. However, we should never let that frustration ever translate to anything that can be perceived or is personal or hurtful," Durkin said, according to the video.

2013 Nobels decades in the making
Prizes show that discovery takes inspiration plus perspiration
The 2013 Nobel Prizes in chemistry, physics and physiology or medicine are all potent reminders that science, though studded with the occasional brilliant flash of insight, almost always takes years of persistent toil to move forward.
This year's physics laureates, Peter Higgs of the University of Edinburgh and François Englert of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, proposed in 1964 that a field permeating the universe confers mass on particles that interact with it. That insight, also reached at about the same time by others who didn't share the prize, became instrumental in developing the standard model, a theoretical framework that encompasses all known fundamental particles and all but one of its forces (gravity).
Though deep, Englert and Higgs' insight wasn't enough to merit a Nobel on its own. It took almost 50 years for experimental physicists — thousands of them — to develop a particle

"Is culture an obstacle to African economic development?"
The author states: "The central question addressed in this paper is the following: to what extent the governance problems of SSA have something to do with the cultural patrimony inherited by African states and countries, culture being understood as "those customary beliefs and values that ethnic, religious, and social groups transmit fairly unchanged from generation to generation" (Guiso et al., 2006: 23)? Indeed, SSA's [sub-Saharan] bad performance on the level of its institutional environment must be somehow traceable to factors specific to the region that do not lie in the sphere of geography (since, as we have stressed above, resource-rich countries have actually performed worse than resource-poor countries). The particular history of the continent and the manner in which its institutional environment has been shaped over the longer period, even if quite dynamic, must take us some way towards gaining a better understanding of the present Africa's growth tragedy." This paper is thus firmly ensconced in modernisation theory, analysing "growth" as a universal desideratum and particular "cultures' as obstacles to growth.

Memory Monday: The Missing Mermaid and the Children Who Would Not Sleep
The colicky crying started some time in the first 24 hours after each was born. The day Daughter #1 turned 12 weeks old, the colic and frequent crying stopped on schedule. She became a sweet, cheerful baby. But still she didn't sleep.
Colic lasted a couple of months longer for Daughter #2. Then she became Miss Curious and Alert – around the clock.
There is a picture of Daughter #1 and me, exhausted and (temporarily) asleep on the sofa, when she was about two months old. We have matching bags under our eyes.
I remember taking her for a walk in her stroller once in the brisk March air. She was crying. We encountered a neighbor who was out for a constitutional in his wheelchair. He remarked that he had never known babies could cry so loudly. I suppressed the urge to reply: "Oh, I got a bad one at the hospital, but don't worry: I'm going to take her in and exchange her for a good one."
On another occasion, we were in a restaurant and a chirpy mother was sitting with her toddlers at the next table over. We got to talking. She spoke of how both of her children had started sleeping through the night when they were six or seven weeks old. I tried to squelch thoughts of homicide.
The nights when our babies were in a good mood but were simply wide-awake Chatty Cathys were the worst. It is easier to let a baby cry it out than it is to abandon a wide-eyed cherub who just wants to show Mom and Dad how adorable she can be.
The first time daughter #1 slept through the night (actually, it was 13 straight hours – in other words, heaven) was when we had a David Attenborough nature special on TV. Back in our pre-children days, his soporific voice used to lull me to sleep as I lay stretched out in front of the TV, and he worked his magic once again. #1 was in her highchair. I turned the show on. Next thing we knew, her humongous pumpkin-head was in her oatmeal bowl and she was snoring.
Both girls eventually learned that nighttime was less entertaining than daytime and would occasionally fall asleep on their own. To encourage this, we gradually transitioned them to a sleep-conducive bedtime ritual. By sleep-conducive, I mean it made Dad and me really want to sleep. But it also seemed to put the little ones in the mood. And it only took a few hours.
First step was a looooong warm bath. When they were toddlers, this meant playtime. There were so many toys in the family bathroom that it looked like a water theme park.
Next came reading time. Mom said, "Only two books." "Just one last book, one very, very, very last book," they would say after two books, and then after three. Mom could see that the problem was that they were still sitting up and the light was still on.
"How about I tell you a story?" They loved the idea. I laid down the terms: "You only get stories when you are in bed and the lights are out."
Thus began my career as Scheherazade.
How to get their interest and keep it? Make the stories about them (or at least two characters who could be their alter egos).
Finally I settled on a story about two little girls who went to visit their grandparents on an island one summer. Hmmm, what kind of adventures could they have? My own favorite stories when I was little had been those in which children had their own "secret world." And on an island that would be … mermaids. Mermaids that no one else knew about.
At first the girls eagerly followed the story of how the little girls in the story discovered the mermaids and kept their secret. But where could we go from there? The ingredient that seemed to be absent was adventure.
So one day I started the story: "One day the girls went to visit the mermaids, only something terrible had happened: A mermaid was missing!"
This proved to be the formula that the girls just couldn't get enough of. We got those mermaids into and out of all sorts of scrapes, just like the Perils of Pauline. Of course, the girls wanted me to keep telling stories (I told you it was like Scheherazade), but I had learned a parent's greatest tool – blackmail.
"I'll tell you the rest tomorrow night if you go to sleep and stay asleep."
And it worked. The days of Torture by Sleep Deprivation were over. Those stories were spun out over the course of two or three years. Occasionally we varied the plot, but when asked what kind of story they wanted to hear, the girls always gave the same answer: "A mermaid is missing!"
In more recent days I have tried to recreate some of those old plots, but I cannot summon up the same creative juices. It seems there was a magic element in exhaustion that cannot be duplicated.
It's amazing how much of an inspiration desperation can be.

Greta, Loved the blog! What great "color" for your girls & their file in your genealogy. I can only imagine the memories you've made. Lucky girls to have you for a mom!ReplyDelete
Love this memory Greta. It brings back memories of my own children who hated to sleep. Especially my daughter, she hated to sleep when she was 3. My son would cry for hours but then would sleep through the night, until the time he discovered sister was up getting attention. That ended his going to sleep on his own, then we had to put both kids to bed with us until they were asleep. We carried them to their own beds and they would sleep through the night. You think you will not make it through these year but you do and they are happy memories of time with your children.ReplyDelete
Really enjoyed this post. Gotta say, as much as I enjoyed reading of your sleeping trails, I am so glad that is one of the thrills of raising kids that I pretty much missed. whew! I take it (she says with tongue in cheek) that you are not willing to go to the state of constant exhaustion to try to recoop the stories! LOLReplyDelete
Fantastic post!! I wish I had thought of that when we were going through the "bedtime rituals." That is one part of parenthood that is not not missed - we like my sleep. Although we did love reading to this kids-up to a point.ReplyDelete
I feel your pain, Greta! My oldest, my daughter, did not sleep through the night until she was about 2 1/2...when I was pregnant with my son and having to get up to use the bathroom several nights a week. (sigh).ReplyDelete
She had colic, she teethed early but didn't pop the teeth in until late, and it was just one thing after another.
I had a doctor (not my regular one) tell me when my daughter was 8 months old and I was being seen for the second bout of painful mastitis within so many months that her daughter started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks, also. Like you, I had to suppress the urge to wring her neck. Didn't she realize that torturers use sleep deprivation very effectively? :-)
I'm lucky. My kids are normally very good sleepers. Normally... I'm writing this at 1:45am my time. Guess why?!?ReplyDelete
Your post reminds me that my grandfather used to make up stories for my mother. He told us a few. They were about an outragously naughty little girl who used to play tricks on him, or on anyone else. I must try to remember what her name was...
Oh, Greta, what a story teller you are! I laughed my way through your post, even as I remembered those awful nights of trying to get my daughters to bed and asleep. Oldest was maybe about 5 or 6 (years, not months!) before she really slept through the night! Not funny then, but I can laugh now. Thanks for the memories.ReplyDelete
I can totally relate!! My 2nd didn't sleep through the night til he was about 6 or 7 YEARS old. Toddler-hood was the worst with a lot of crying but over the years it evolved into the "Mom/Dad" call for one of us to come in his room for a bit. Now that he is 20, I can only wish for some of that snuggle time back. Ah well.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the memories.
I thought I was the only one who had a child that didn't sleep through the night until she was about 7! Years old that is! The doctor told me during her first year that he could hospitalize me for a couple weeks to get the sleep I needed. Can you imagine? Now a days they would never offer a hospital bed! I told them no thank you, my mother would take my daughter if need be. She never did. ONE night my daughter did sleep through the night and I freaked, running to her room to make sure she was still breathing. Of course she was. She was never diagnosed with colic. I was told "she just didn't require the sleep." Still find that hard to believe, myself. I definitely feel for parents whose children don't sleep! Just know, it does get better! Enjoy your post.ReplyDelete
What a fantastic experience to share with us, and to preserve for your children!!I think sometimes we forget about the current ancestors and decendants in our processes, but you brought back a special time for me and my daughter. Thank you

Wow! Karen, Harriet, Carol, Michelle, Miriam, Shelley, Nancy, Kathy, Cheryl, and Kim - Thank you for your comments! I truly appreciate the sympathy and especially the commiseration from those who went through similar ordeals. Shelly, I think someone somewhere ought to put together a collection of "desperate parents' bedtime stories." Cheryl, I did that same "freaking out" think when my daughters on rare occasions did seem to be sleeping soundly. I would sneak up and put a mirror near their mouths. Probably the only reason my daughters didn't stay up through the night any longer was that my older daughter got smart and figured out that if she and her sister were sleeping in the same bedroom, they would both sleep better.ReplyDelete
Wow, Greta! What creativity!ReplyDelete

Gatland admits that Hartley made poor judgement call
Lions coach said Northampton hooker had 'gone to the edge of the cliff and jumped off'

British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland admits that Dylan Hartley had "gone to the edge of the cliff and jumped off" in response to his 11-week ban for abusing referee Wayne Barnes.
Gatland believes that Hartley will not appeal against the suspension, a decision that will rule the England hooker out of the tour to Hong Kong and Australia.
Instead, Ireland's Rory Best will depart with the 37-man squad tonight after being the beneficiary of Hartley's indiscipline.
Hartley called Barnes a "f****** cheat" during Northampton's Aviva Premiership final defeat by Leicester at Twickenham on Saturday.
"Dylan's a young man who has made an unfortunate error," said Gatland at today's departure press conference in Kensington.
"To play the game you have to play on the edge, but unfortunately he's gone to the edge of the cliff and jumped off it. That's the only analogy I can draw.
"I called him yesterday and left a message on his phone. He left a message on my phone today thanking me for the call.
"I was looking forward to working with him and really feel for him. He's made a poor judgement. Hopefully he can put this behind him and move on.
"It's my understanding that he won't be appealing the decision, but that's entirely up to him. He may decide to do that in the next day or so."
Many felt that Best, who has been capped 67 times, should have been selected ahead of Hartley in the original squad announced last month and Gatland agrees that it was a difficult call.
"That decision had been going through my head as well," he said.
"I have no problem admitting that post-selection I had that discussion with myself and said 'Did I make the right call?'
"Everything that's been written and people saying how unlucky he's been is 100 per cent correct because I had those doubts initially myself.
"When we made the selection, the debate on hooker took by far the longest on and was he really unlucky.
"As soon as Dylan was ruled out he was the obvious choice, it was not even something we had to talk about.
"Sometimes fate can intervene and a player who was very unlucky to miss out never has a chance to step up and fight for his place.
"It wouldn't surprise me if later on in the tour he's in contention for a Test spot."

Autumn Surfari
Autumn is the best time to surf in New Zealand – here's an insider's guide to two stunning surf spots off the beaten track.
Two common misconceptions about surfing in New Zealand: the best place to go is Mt Maunganui and the best time to go is summer. Any Kiwi surfer worth their salt knows the best, least crowded waves are found well beyond the beaten track – in places like Wairarapa and Kaikoura – and autumn is the most swell-rich time to explore.
Wairarapa, on the south-east coast of the North Island, and Kaikoura, on the north-east coast of the South Island, are close on the map and in surfing terms they have much in common.
In both places you'll find powerful, uncrowded waves and spectacular landscapes. Both regions feature long boulder-edged point breaks, sand-spitting river bars and A-frame reef breaks.
Primo conditions
In autumn the blustery gales that usually batter these coasts subside for morning and evening glass-offs. Winds and sea currents arrive uninterrupted from down near Antarctica so pack a good 4/3 steamer and booties for this time of year.
With the large seal colonies and abundant sea life, surfing here can make you feel like you've plunged a few links down the food chain. But don't worry. Shark attacks are rarer than lightening strikes and the adrenalin rush from your first ride will help you focus on the task at hand: to surf perfect waves all day with just a couple of mates and a million sea creatures for company.
Where to eat
In Southern Wairarapa the Lake Ferry Hotel is hard to beat for an after surf beer and great fish 'n' chips. From the garden bar you can watch the sun set behind snow-capped ranges. Kaikoura is the Maori word for crayfish – keep your energy up for surfing with a feast on these delicious local crustaceans, available at roadside caravans.
Where to stay
Kaikoura is a major tourist mecca so there's no shortage of accommodation in all price ranges. A number of eco lodges offer 'small footprint' options for the earth-friendly traveller. In Wairarapa you can combine wave hunting with wine tasting and enjoy boutique accommodation among the famous wineries of Martinborough.
How to get there
If you want to surf Wairarapa and Kaikoura on your Autumn Surfari, at some point you'll need to catch the ferry from Wellington to Picton. Walk-on passengers will need to pay a small fee for their surfboard but there's no extra luggage charge or limit on how much you can pack in to your car, van or camper.

An Air Force pararescuer who grew up in Capistrano Beach and graduated from San Clemente High School has been killed in Afghanistan.
"On April 6, 2013, a hero was taken," Nick McCaskill's sister, Erin McCaskill Newman, wrote in a note to friends. "My brother, Nicholas Leon McCaskill, was killed in combat overseas. He exhibited unparalleled bravery and valor during the battle and gave his life protecting the lives of his fellow soldiers that were ultimately able to return to safety. He was committed and passionate about his service and was a true embodiment of his PJ (pararescue jumper) motto, 'That Others May Live.' During his honorable career, he was awarded a Bronze Star for his bravery in combat and also achieved the highest ranking of an enlisted airman, chief master sergeant."
McCaskill was a reservist with the 306th Rescue Squadron since July 2006, said Master Sgt. Luke Johnson at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz.
The squadron is part of the Air Force Reserve Command's 943rd Rescue Group.
McCaskill joined the Air Force in May 1992 as an airplane mechanic and transitioned to pararescue in October 1994. According to the Air Force, pararescuers are part of special-operations units tasked with recovery and emergency medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat situations. They are attached to special-operations teams from all branches to conduct other operations as deemed appropriate. They are used to support NASA missions and have recovered astronauts after splashdowns.
McCaskill was not in a military status at the time of his death in Afghanistan, Johnson said. Johnson said he could not provide details of how McCaskill was killed or who he was working for.
Commenters on several blogs connected to Air Force special operations praised McCaskill. One blog said McCaskill was killed while providing security for a Department of Defense contract.
A post on Shadowspear.com stated: "Chief McCaskill was … killed in Afghanistan … during a suicide bombing that claimed the lives of several other Americans, performing personal security functions as part of a DoD civilian contract. … Fair winds, Chief. You will be missed."
"It's a sad loss," said Lt. Col. John Keeler, who commands the 306th Rescue Squadron in Arizona. "We're trying to mourn over it and take care of his family. He was an outstanding airman and friend. It's a great loss for the air squad. He was investing in lifesaving activities for 16 years. He was a superior human being."
Newman said McCaskill loved surfing, riding motorcycles and playing golf. She said most of his time was spent with family and friends. She said he had "joyful nature and charisma."
Newman wrote that her brother is survived by his wife, Nikki; daughters Kenna and Tyler; his mother, Lynne; his father, James; brother-in-law David and nieces Stella and Elaina.
A memorial for McCaskill is scheduled for April 27 at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Financial assistance for the family can be provided through That Others May Live Foundation at thatothersmaylive.org.

I get overwhelmed sometimes. Not in a debilitating way, just in a mind-racing, go read 20 books and a jillion web pages on the subject-kind of way. If my curiosity is piqued, out of boredom or fear or whatever, I'm a slave to information, detail and know-how. All consuming. I have to know more and get to the bottom of it.
Lately I've been puzzling over a few things. Small and big stuff. Whether I should be working in the field that I'm in, should I really be taking vitamin D?, the public's perception of "fine dining" (Is it just another place to put food in their mouths? The idea of it and some of the pretensions are troubling to me…), how totally fine I felt after taking a little social media/computer break, general iffy-ness on the celebrity chef phenomenon and its effect in kitchens, WHY do I even use pinterest?, the enormity of this post and on and on.
When it all hits that crescendo of too much at once, I kind of panic in a quiet way. Unsure of what to do, I essentially do nothing. I read about the issue(s) at hand a bit more, take in more ideas, criticisms, strategies, opinions etc. Then when it's time to move on to the next scheduled thing in my life, I feel ridiculous. The ratio of concern to productivity doesn't match up and now I have to go to work or meet up with a friend. Without any answers. Feeling sorta shitty. What needs to happen at that point?
I make plans to dwell in the kitchen and do something, anything. It could be constructing a layer cake, it could be carrot sticks, doesn't matter. It re-instills that feeling of capability, confidence and adaptability in the face of adversity and confusion. It's doing something; not to take yourself away from the concern, but to pursue it in a different way. It's mindful moving on and it brings me back into the light. New perspective, clarity and a meal.
This dish makes for a bit of (totally mindful) prep work, but it's still relatively easy to put together. I wouldn't say that these are authentic empanadas ("authenticity" is another thing I could go on about). It's a pocket meal enclosed in dough that can be eaten any time of the day for sure. Mine have a chickpea flour-based dough and slightly spicy, sweet and citrus-y filling that's hearty with tempeh and sweet potatoes. A more wholesome and actually tasty hot pocket perhaps? I'm okay with leaving it at that.
Oh, and just as a little experiment, I've started a facebook page. You can like it if you want (or if, you know, you actually like it).
spicy tempeh empanadas with sweet potatoes, pepitas and spinach
serves: makes 7-8
special equipment: a rolling pin
notes: The woman who taught us pastry at culinary school told us to start our pie dough in the shape that you want to end up with. Similarly, with this dough, you should shape it into a tight circle before rolling it out. Also, other flours like whole wheat, spelt, brown rice, GF all purpose etc would work in place of the chickpea.
3 cups chickpea flour
pinch of salt
4.5 tbsp olive oil
1/3-1/2 cup water (depending on how your dough feels)
1/2 block of tempeh (125 grams)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot, fine dice
1 cup grated sweet potato
1 fat clove of garlic, minced
2 sprigs of thyme, leaves removed and chopped
1 tbsp (or less if you want!) chili flakes
1 tsp ground cumin
zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp dried oregano
2 handfuls of spinach, rough chop
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted and roughly chopped
1/4 cup raisins
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Cut the tempeh into 1/2 inch cubes. Bring some water to boil in a medium saucepan. Add the tempeh cubes and simmer for about 20 minutes. Drain the tempeh and set aside.
While tempeh is cooking, make the dough. Place the chickpea flour and pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the oil and 1/3 cup of water. Stir to combine. Begin to knead the dough, adding more water as necessary to bring it to the right consistency. The dough should feel slightly tacky and dense. Form dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and set aside on the counter at room temperature.
Make the filling: Heat the 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the grated sweet potatoes and saute for 1 minute. Add the drained tempeh and start mashing it up with the back of your spoon. Add the garlic, thyme, chili flakes, cumin, lemon zest (not the juice yet) and oregano. Saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes, keep mashing/breaking down the tempeh. Remove pan from the heat. Add spinach, pumpkin seeds, raisins, and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Season the whole mixture to taste and set aside.
Cut the dough into 7 or 8 pieces. Form one piece into a circle, trying to avoid little cracks in the dough on the sides. Dust your work area and rolling pin lightly with chickpea flour. Roll out the circle evenly to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling onto the circle of dough, slightly off-center. Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the dough at the widest point of the circle. Fold all of the edges of the dough over each other to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Place finished empanadas on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush a little olive oil on top if you like. Bake for 20 minutes or until edges and bottoms are slightly browned and dried.
Serve hot or at room temperature.

The frontman of long-running rock band Motörhead, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, has died, the band's official Facebook page announced Monday. He was 70.
Kilmister, commonly known as Lemmy, had just received a cancer diagnosis, the post said: "We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren't words."
Motorhead was founded in 1975 by Lemmy, who sang, played bass and wrote the music. His biggest hit, 1980's "Ace of Spades," exhibited many of the characteristics that fans loved in Lemmy: hard-living bravado, heavy metal shredding, and his gravely voice.
Kilmister had just celebrated his birthday on Thursday, Dec. 24. According to the Motorhead post, he learned he had cancer on Saturday and died Monday "at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game."
The band recently canceled some performances over what it said was a lung infection, NBC News reported. Kilmister told an audience "I can't do it" and walked offstage at a Sept. 1 concert in Austin.
Motorhead guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke said Monday that Lemmy was like a brother to him.
"We did so much together, the three of us," Clarke wrote Monday on his Facebook page. "The world seems a really empty place right now.
Fellow musicians quickly flooded Twitter with their condolences. "Black Sabbath" frontman Ozzy Osbourne remembered Lemmy as "a warrior and a legend" in a tweet Monday.

DETROIT — Facing a top-of-the rotation stud has a tendency to make any offense, no matter how hot it's been, feel blah.
Especially if that starting pitcher is the very kind against which you struggle most.
Throw a tough left-hander — one of the toughest, actually — at it, and that seemingly finely-tuned Detroit Tigers offense all of a sudden looked a little vanilla, as CC Sabathia stifled it with seven shutout innings, helping the New York Yankees stave off a sweep with a 7-0 win Sunday.
Shoot, the biggest cheer of the afternoon was in recognition of the University of Michigan's Final Four win from the night before.
"We had a big weekend here, and today seemed almost a little bit of a blah. I don't know exactly why. Maybe the conclusion of a big weekend. I can't answer that. The biggest key was Sabathia. He threw really good. He's one of the better pitchers in baseball and he showed that today," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said of the big left-hander, who out-dueled Detroit ace Justin Verlander.
"He (Verlander) gave us a chance. We just didn't do much with CC today, obviously. That's why it's a great game, and that's why it's a strange game. You get all those hits yesterday, and come out today and (don't). That's why I normally emphasize that pitching dictates everything, and CC pretty much dictated the pace today."
Sabathia (1-1) shut down an offense for the Tigers that had pounded out 16 runs on 26 hits in the first two games of the series, only allowing one runner to reach second base in seven shutout innings.
"Different pitchers. That's baseball. You're talking about a No. 1 and No. 5, you're talking about one of the best pitchers in the game, best lefties in the game. It's different," Torii Hunter said.
"We got 17 hits yesterday, but today CC, he's just a smart pitcher. We tried to battle. It's not like we're not trying to do what we have to do but good pitching beats good hitting any day if he hits his spots, and he did that today."
It doesn't help that Sabathia is a left-hander, the type of pitcher that's been kryptonite to the Tigers' offense the last season plus. Detroit went 26-25 against lefty starters in the 2012 regular season, as opposed to 62-49 against right-handers.
That shortcoming was part of the reason there was an emphasis on signing guys like Hunter — who hit .340 against left-handed pitching last season, and .289 in his career — and finding a platoon bat to split time in left field with Andy Dirks. Matt Tuiasosopo won that job in the spring, and made his first start Sunday.
Hunter and Tuiasosopo went a combined 4-for-7 in the game, but the other members of the top six in the Sunday's batting order — Austin Jackson, Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder and Victor Martinez — were a combined 1-for-15.
Then again, the heart of the Yankees order wasn't exactly the part that bowled the Tigers over, either.
It was the bottom part, namely catcher Francisco Cervelli and backup shortstop Jayson Nix, that hurt Detroit the most.
"A lot of times, when you lose games, it's guys you don't expect to hurt you as much that hurt you, like Cervelli and Nix did to us today. It wasn't like the real big guys in the lineup that did all the damage against us — they certainly contributed. … Cervelli a couple of big hits and Nix a couple of big hits. That's something that you always try to guard against, those are the guys you really got to try to get out, and we didn't do that very well today," Leyland said.
"They're missing some pieces, but they're always going to be good. They're missing some of the big guys, and later in the season, I'm sure they'll have them back. They'll be right in the thick of things, as they always are."
Given that the Yankees (1-4) started the season with $91 million in payroll mouldering on the disabled list, you'd think the lineup would be a pushover for any pitcher. Entering Sunday it had mustered just 17 runs in five games, and no more than four in any one.
Not so much.
"No, never. This is baseball. I don't care who they've got missing. That's the Yankees. They have a winning mentality about them, and I think they're going to find a way to win this year," Verlander said. "You don't take anything for granted."
The Yankees got to Verlander in the second inning, as Cervelli drove in one with a double to the gap in left-center, then Jayson Nix made it 3-0 with a home run over the Tigers bullpen in left field.
"Not necessarily one inning, just one bad pitch. Poor pitch selection and poor pitch execution on the same pitch doesn't usually end up too well," Verlander said of the offending change-up that he hung to Nix. "Well, I hung it. He might have been looking off-speed. I don't know that he knew the change-up was coming. Sped up his bat, and it was up enough that he elevated it."
Trailing 3-0 might not have been as much of an issue, had the Tigers not been facing Sabathia, who kept them off balance by pitching, rather than just throwing, as he had in years past.
"Obviously, my goal is to just keep us in the ballgame, especially once I give up two runs early, it's 'OK, shut the door, keep us in the ballgame.' Give us a chance to come back and win the ballgame," Verlander said. "Didn't happen that way. CC was too good today."
No Tigers starter had gone deeper than 5 1/3 innings the first turn through the rotation, but Verlander lasted one batter into the seventh, having thrown 111 pitches, and kept it 3-0.
Things would come apart when he left.
Phil Coke would give up a single to Travis Hafner and a ground-rule double to Vernon Wells (thanks to fan interference), then a sacrifice fly to plate one run, and an RBI single to Cervelli to score another, making it 5-0 New York.
New York tacked on two more runs in the ninth with three singles off Octavio Dotel.
The Tigers got two hits to start a one-out rally in the ninth, but couldn't score against Major League Baseball's soon-to-be-retired all-time saves leader, Mariano Rivera, who had been honored by the Tigers' organization before the game. He received a plaque with pictures of both Comerica Park and Tiger Stadium, and bottles of earth from the mounds of each stadium.
The two teams won't meet again until mid-August.

The Capsule Pampa collection has travelled from the dry forests of northern Argentina, an area known simply as the Monte. Here, different groups of weavers use sheep's wool to create monochrome and neutral rugs inspired by the dry, sunbaked forests and desert landscapes their ancestors have lived among for centuries. The use of bright colours is a reference to the flowers, insects and other lifeforms that roam the Monte, some of which are now just a memory.
Handwoven by skilled artisans, all Pampa rugs have been sourced directly for a fair price from the communities where they were made. Many of the rugs in this collection use designs and colour-ways that are exclusive to Argentina and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. When you purchase a Pampa rug, you're helping Pampa trace the map that connects Argentina's talented artisans with the global community.

Schlieren photography has been used for decades to visualize shockwaves generated by supersonic aircraft, but usually it is used with scale models in wind tunnels. Now NASA has captured the shockwaves from full-size aircraft flying supersonically, using ground-to-air schlieren photography.
F-15B at Mach 1.2 and 40,000ft (All photos and video: NASA)
Optical schlieren uses a collimated light source that shines on the target from behind. Variations in the density of air as it flows over the object, and is compressed and expanded by shockwaves, change its refractive index and distort the beam, causing changes in the light intensity that can be visualised using a shadowgraph.
The Ground-to-Air Schlieren Photography System (GASPS), developed by MetroLaser and tested by NASA Dryden FLight Research Center, uses two telescopes, digital cameras - and the Sun as the collimated light source. The test subjects were a NASA F-15 and F/A-18 flying supersonically over Edwards AFB in California.
F/A-18B at Mach 1.1 and 44,000ft
The tests are part of NASA's program to develop technology for a low-boom supersonic transport, with a carefully shaped shockwave signature, and ground-to-air schlieren of full-size aircraft will allow the flow around the engine inlet and tail region to be visualized and modeled more accurately than with windtunnel model tests.
Schlieren photography was invented in the 1860s, and NASA says ground-to-air schlieren was used in the 1990s, but required elaborate equipment and precisely aligned optics. GASPS "uses just a telescope and a digital camera, leaving the difficult aspects to be performed post-flight using image processing software," the agency says.
F-15B at Mach 1.38 and 44,000ft
The images shown here were taken manually when the aircraft passed in front of the Sun. Later tests will likely use aircraft GPS data transmitted to the system on the ground to automatically activate the shutters for more precise imaging, the agency says.

With Rafael Nadal's epic 8th French Open victory this past Sunday we officially move into the short but always exciting grass court tennis season on the ATP World Tour.
Play began today in Halle, Germany at the Gerry Weber Open where Roger Federer is the number one seed, and 35 year old veteran Tommy Haas is the defending champion. Interestingly enough, the two played doubles as partners for the first time in their illustrious careers on Monday although they lost their opening round to last year's Wimbledon champs Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner 7-6(3), 6-4.
Despite losing to Haas a year ago and playing beneath his usual levels of brilliance thus far in 2013, Federer must still be considered the favorite here with his vast grass court experience which includes seven Wimbledon's.
Lookout for big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic who is in the top-half of the draw along with Fed and Haas and has the game that you would think is built for grass court success. Raonic is now being coached on a full-time basis by former world number four Ivan Ljubicic who himself won the s'hertogenbosch grass court event in the Netherlands in 2007 and might be able to help his new protege attain greater heights on the slippery surface.
In the bottom half, second seed Richard Gasquet is dangerous on any surface, and grass is no exception. He will be expected to navigate his way towards the finals barring an upset.
At the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club, Andy Murray returns to play and is the number one seed. Forced to skip the French Open with back issues, it will be interesting to see how Murray handles his return as he prepares to take his Wimbledon accomplishments one step further than he did a year ago in his loss to Federer.
Lookout for Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who is in the top-half with Murray and for Juan Martin Del Potro and Tomas Berdych in the bottom half of the draw. All are likely to go deep into the draw as they too prepare for the most prestigious Grand Slam of the year which begins in just two week's time.

CC, offense click on all cylinders in rout of Red Sox
BOSTON -- The Yankees authored a satisfying ending to their wild road trip on Thursday, rolling their suitcases out of Fenway Park on a high note by packing in their most productive offensive performance of the season.
CC Sabathia pitched six solid innings, Mark Teixeira hit his first homer of the year and rookie Yangervis Solarte drove in four runs as the Yankees defeated the Red Sox for the fifth time in seven games this season, this time by a lopsided 14-5 margin.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- The Yankees authored a satisfying ending to their wild road trip on Thursday, rolling their suitcases out of Fenway Park on a high note by packing in their most productive offensive performance of the season.
CC Sabathia pitched six solid innings, Mark Teixeira hit his first homer of the year and rookie Yangervis Solarte drove in four runs as the Yankees defeated the Red Sox for the fifth time in seven games this season, this time by a lopsided 14-5 margin.View Full Game Coverage
"They won the championship, they're the defending champions, so they're the team to beat," Derek Jeter said. "We've played them well the first seven games. We play them 12 [more] times. It's good that we've played them well now, but we'll see them again, and I'm sure they'll be ready for us."
The Yankees took advantage of a season-high five Sox errors to claim the rubber game of an eventful mid-week set, marked by Jacoby Ellsbury's Fenway return and Masahiro Tanaka's rivalry debut in the first game, then Michael Pineda's ejection after a slick of pine tar was spotted on his neck early in the second game.
New York opened the trip by splitting a four-game series against the Rays that was no less hectic: the Yanks turned a triple play, had Cesar Cabral pitch himself off the team by hitting three men in an inning, lost Ivan Nova to a season-ending injury and won a wild 12-inning series finale on Sunday at Tropicana Field.
This past weekend, the Yanks sent infielder Dean Anna to the mound for mop-up duty in the eighth inning of a rout against the Rays. They then got to face a position player on Thursday at Fenway, taking their licks against knuckleball-throwing outfielder Mike Carp.
"Every day you showed up to the yard and you didn't know what was going to happen," Ellsbury said. "As long as you're consistent and go about your business each and every day, usually by the end of the road trip, good things are going to happen. It was a wild seven games."
"I think the important thing is that we were 4-3," manager Joe Girardi said. "It's hard to replace Nova, but someone is going to have to step up."
On Thursday, Red Sox left-hander Felix Doubront was pounded for seven runs (three earned) and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings, giving Sabathia a healthy lead in the early going.
Alfonso Soriano had a first-inning RBI double, Solarte tacked on a two-run double in the second inning to snap an 0-for-14 skid and Teixeira cleared the Green Monster in the third against Doubront, who also allowed run-scoring hits to Brian Roberts and Jacoby Ellsbury before being lifted.
"It was bad, man. I couldn't get my job done," Doubront said. "Probably loss of concentration, that's what happened. It was terrible."
Sabathia made his second start of the year against Boston, having pitched five splendid innings on April 11 before serving up two homers in a four-run sixth. Sabathia left this one with few regrets, holding the Red Sox to two runs and three hits.
"I just wanted to go out and have a good outing. That's what it's all about," Sabathia said. "I know we've been taxing the bullpen in the situation we've been in the last couple weeks. But it just felt good to go out and pitch good and get a win."
David Ortiz lifted a sacrifice fly and Jonny Gomes slugged an RBI double in the third inning against Sabathia, who walked three and struck out eight.
"CC is a guy that can get on some rolls and we've seen it in the past," Girardi said. "Obviously it couldn't have been real easy conditions to pitch in tonight, with the weather and the long innings."
Control was in short supply for both teams in a game that featured four wild pitches, 18 walks and two hit batsmen with slick baseballs; a good window, perhaps, into why Pineda felt the need to slather pine tar on under similar conditions a night earlier.
"It's something that obviously if they feel it needs to be addressed, they'll address it," Girardi said.
New York pulled further ahead with five runs in the seventh off Craig Breslow, sending 11 men to the plate in the frame. Solarte rapped a two-run single, Ellsbury cracked a ground-rule double and Jeter lined a two-run single to account for the damage.
The Red Sox trimmed the deficit in the seventh with three unearned runs off of right-hander Shane Greene, who recorded just one out in a wild Major League debut, that featured three walks and a strikeout.
Girardi called upon Adam Warren and David Robertson -- making his first appearance since being activated from the disabled list -- to nail down the final eight outs of the evening.
After a dizzying eight-day jaunt to St. Petersburg and Boston that has altered the look of their roster in several ways, Jeter said that it was good to see the Yankees consistently turn the page when needed.
"You don't have a choice. You play every single day," Jeter said. "There's going to be things that happen throughout the course of the year. ... You have to have a short memory when you're playing this game."

In most political sex scandals, there is a wronged wife, usually conveying a mixture of dignity and pain.
Sometimes when the time comes for the admission of guilt, the wife is standing by her husband's side. Sometimes she is nowhere to be seen. Sometimes the marriage survives, and sometimes it doesn't. Ditto the husband's career.
In the case of Huma Abedin, the woman married to Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner not even a year, the story has an added dimension. She is expecting their first child, a fact that came to light a few days after the New York congressman admitted to sending lewd photos of himself to women and carrying on long-distance, sexually charged relationships with them.
But in many other ways, Ms. Abedin is the classic political wife, "caught between a rock and a hard place," says Myra Gutin, a communications professor and expert on first ladies at Rider University in Lawrenceville, N.J. "There's the whole issue of being supportive of your spouse, a la Hillary Clinton in '98, standing by her man. Then there's the heinousness of whatever your spouse has done, and how to address that in private."
Abedin did not stand dutifully by her husband at his tearful press conference in New York on Monday. Though reportedly in the city, she chose to stay out of the spotlight. But by many accounts, that is not to be read as a sign that she is anything less than committed to her marriage. Representative Weiner said on Monday that he and Abedin love each other and intend to stay together.
Abedin has no more formidable a source for advice to turn to than Secretary of State Clinton, whom she has known since her days as a White House intern in 1996 and with whom she has a close relationship. Abedin is now an aide to Clinton at the State Department, and is accompanying her on a weeklong trip to Africa. Last July, former President Clinton performed Weiner and Abedin's wedding.
Ironies aside, Abedin's role in the Weiner saga is quiet but powerful. If he manages to survive the scandal, despite the calls from within his own party to resign and a looming ethics investigation, he may well have her to thank.
Political analysts suggest that in some cases where a wronged political wife displays solidarity with her husband, that has helped him maintain some level of public support and political viability. Ex-President Clinton is Exhibit A. So is Sen. David Vitter (R) of Louisiana, who was caught in 2007 on a prostitution ring's client list. Senator Vitter's wife stuck with him, and he was reelected last November. (Vitter, too, can probably thank the passage of time and an electorate accustomed to scandal.)
"The image of the loyal wife conveys to the public that the person he has hurt the most has forgiven him first, and you should too," says Kellyanne Conway, a Republican strategist. "It all depends on the circumstance, really. Unfortunately people have become inured to the cheating political man story."
The role of social media in the Weiner scandal – and the fact that the congressman had no physical contact with any of his paramours – adds a new twist to an old sin. In fact, on Monday he seemed to suggest that because he had not had a physical relationship with the women involved, his actions weren't as bad as if he had. The political world has reacted otherwise. And he and Abedin find themselves the latest in a long line of adulterous politicians and their aggrieved wives.
Standing by a scandal-consumed husband "has to help the offending husband on the margin, but it certainly doesn't guarantee survival," says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "And the psychic costs are so high."
Consider the case of Jenny Sanford. She didn't do the "stand by your man" routine when her husband, then-Gov. Mark Sanford (R) of South Carolina, admitted to an affair with a woman in Argentina. The Sanfords are now divorced.
"I think it's much easier for Jenny to move through her normal life than if she had stuck by him," says Mr. Jillson.
Governor Sanford resisted calls to resign and survived moves toward impeachment, limping to the end of his term.
Weiner rationalizes his decision not to resign by citing the support of his constituents. But it's an open question whether he can resist the calls to resign from within the Democratic Party, where he faces ostracism if he stays.
One off-shoot of the Weiner scandal, and others that have preceded it, may be a renewed push by both parties to encourage more women to run for office. It's probably no coincidence that in the case of New York's 26th Congressional District, both major parties selected women to run last month in the special election for the seat vacated by Rep. Christopher Lee (R). The married Mr. Lee resigned abruptly in February after he was caught sending a shirtless photo of himself to a woman he met online on Craigslist.

If you use the UTFT library most questions can be answered by the associated documentation. Pins- depends on what functions you plan to use with the screen I.e. SD card, touch, flash, etc..The above post require knowledge of how to modify code. Reading through these post, reading the documentation from the chip manufacturer, and reading other forums will allow you to get things started.Best of luck.
Cowasaki, I understand you, "just want to get it working". Anything related with arduino other than base examples is challenging and requires research. Understand I have my hands full of other projects and life too. I feel I should not have to say this, but in order to be of assistance I need- the IDE, the board, shield used (if any), code posted, modifications made to code listed and displayed. If you read through other forum post you find this is all the bare min. you must O.P. to get the proper help. Right now you are asking for help and I don't even know if you have a library installed. I hope you can see how I cannot be of assistance as you have not provided enough information.

BERLIN- Worcester Prep's girls' varsity lacrosse team got back in the win column in impressive fashion last week, beating ESIAC rival Salisbury School, 15-0, to improve to 4-3 on the season.
After a long layoff caused by Easter vacation, the Mallards showed no signs of rust against Salisbury School last Thursday, routing the Dragons, 15-0, at home. The win came after consecutive defeats to neighborhood rival Stephen Decatur and D.C. area powerhouse Bullis School. The Mallards had not won a game since a 16-1 pasting of Delmarva Christian back on April 1.
In the Salisbury game last week, Alexandra Smith led the Mallards with four goals, while Molly Dickerson scored three and Mary Hudson added two goals.


text: Hurricane Sandy was a hurricane that devastated portions of the Caribbean and the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States during late October 2012, with lesser impacts in the Southeastern and Midwestern states and Eastern Canada. Sandy, classified as the eighteenth named storm and tenth hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, was a Category 2 storm at its peak intensity. While it was a Category 1 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record (as measured by diameter, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km)). Preliminary estimates of losses due to damage and business interruption are estimated at $65.6 billion (2012 USD), which would make it the second-costliest Atlantic hurricane, behind only Hurricane Katrina. At least 253 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. The severe and widespread damage the storm caused in the United States, as well as its unusual composition, led the media and several government agencies to refer to the hurricane as Superstorm Sandy.

When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)
Tuna and egg bento
The bare tuna-paste bento was a great success, but with the arrival of my new bento container, I was left with some extra unused space. I decided to fill the space with easy to make and very tasty iri tamago, which is basically a Japanese kind of scrambled eggs! You can definitely use iri tamago in onigiri, or as a small side dish.
Fancy tamagoyaki bento
Oh my, this one is both a looker and tastes amazingly! :-) This bento idea is based on the basic tamagoyaki recipe, so feel free to use your favorite ingredients: champignons or chanterelle mushroom, herbs, different kinds of onion, bacon bits, ham shavings etc. Go crazy! :-) It's also a very good side dish!
Tamagoyaki bento
Tamagoyaki is a great and easy to make bento ingredient. It's savory taste goes well with vegetables and diary ingredients, it packs a reasonable amount of protein and will satisfy your hunger for a long time. It's good served warm, as well as cold.

A paramedic who was suspended after he made sexually inappropriate comments in front of patients and colleagues has been branded a risk to public.
Richard Senior, who worked for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust based at Dewsbury Ambulance Station, was suspended for 12 months for making the remarks towards other members of staff and in front of patients.
He said a female colleague should take part in a "foursome" with him, showed a photograph of himself engaged in a sex act to a colleague and bragged about his sexual conquests in front of patients.
A review hearing by the Health and Care Professions Council, which he did not attend, found he had not significantly changed his attitude and was ordered to register with a supervisor at any new place of work. He also must not work as a lone responder.
The report stated he signed off an email that was supposed to reflect on his previous behaviour with: "Nothing to fear but fear itself so live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse."
The report read: "This, at the end of a reflective piece, did undermine the registrant's assertions of a meaningful change in attitude.
"With this in mind, the panel is left with insufficient evidence to be satisfied that the public would be protected if the registrant was to be permitted to return to unrestricted practice.
"The panel considered that, in the absence of evidence of the registrant having developed sufficient insight into his failings and taken action to remedy these failings, there is a risk to the public."
It said the risk of the behaviour being repeated but that the order, which will last 18 months, was imposed to protect patients, uphold proper standards of behaviour and maintain public confidence in the profession.

Or is it there's still some fermentation going on?
There's always the possibility of wild yeast in those particular bottles. You could have hit all your targets and still have bottle bombs if they sit long enough.
Definitely sounds to me like the the beer got infected somehow. Assuming it was at a stable final gravity at bottling.
I bottled some porter last April in swing tops. Had one the other week and seemed over carbonated. Last night I was cleaning and heard a pop; knew exactly what it was. These are pretty heave glass too. I have had this happen to several beers I cellar for long periods. The yeast I used was a dry fermentis I can't remember the type, just that it was in a light green packet. And I know it didn't flocculate very well. So what do you think is going on? Usually I FC! But this one I think was bottle conditioned. Too much priming? Or is it there's still some fermentation going on? I have a dry stout that was FC'd, tastes fine except it is now overcarbed has that co2 taste. Is it just some beers need to be consumed faster?
This may sound crazy, but I wonder sometimes if US-05 doesn't have some latent fermentation activity. Seems like beers made with that strain always seemed to have continued activity if not kept cold in bottles or kegs.

Five Questions: DeBoer discusses first season in NJby Dan Rosen
NHL.com will periodically be doing a series called "Five Questions With …," a Q&A with some of the key movers and shakers in the game today aimed at gaining some insight into their lives and careers.
This edition features New Jersey Devils coach Peter DeBoer:
Peter DeBoer is quiet, yet intensely competitive; unassuming, yet supremely confident.
This is a coach who never lost faith in himself or his philosophy after three failed seasons with the Florida Panthers; a coach whose systems and beliefs helped change the reputation of the New Jersey Devils last season to that of a team ferocious in its forecheck and fearless in its pursuit of the puck.
DeBoer refused to back down when he was being taken to task by New York Rangers coach John Tortorella. He saw a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup Final and without a hint of hesitation claimed his team was capable of turning what was a rout into a competitive series.
The Devils didn't win the Stanley Cup, but they won Games 4 and 5 against the Los Angeles Kings, proving DeBoer's beliefs were in fact based in reality.
DeBoer is also a coach who spent 15 seasons in the Ontario Hockey League, including 13 as a head coach, working with teenagers as he crafted his beliefs and philosophies.
Now, DeBoer is the latest subject of NHL.com's Q&A series.
Here are Five Questions With … Peter DeBoer:
Before last spring you had never competed in the Stanley Cup Playoffs as either a player or coach. Not only did you make it to the postseason, you wound up going to the Stanley Cup Final. How did you try to make it all seem normal?
"I can tell you I use my law degree, I feel, on a daily basis even though I don't practice law. I really believe coaching is about convincing players why they should be doing something and making a case for that. It's something I use all the time and it's something that has been invaluable in my coaching life."
-- Peter DeBoer
"I felt very prepared for the situation I was in, really, because of the time I spent in junior hockey with the deep playoff runs we had and the World Junior experience I had. The road I took in my coaching career prepared me to handle that. Obviously, everything was a little bit bigger. The press conferences were bigger. The stage was obviously bigger, but my preparation was done through 15 years of riding buses and doing those things."
The forecheck you have brought to New Jersey is particularly aggressive. Was it difficult to bring that style and that philosophy to the Devils based on the history and the reputation the organization had built as being quite defensive-minded?
"On the face of it you would think it would be. You're following Jacques Lemaire, who had such a great run the second half of the year prior playing a typical Jacques Lemaire system, which isn't that [aggressive forechecking]. With the history of the New Jersey Devils and their style you would think on the face of it [it would be tough], but I felt I got a lot of support from [Devils general manager] Lou [Lamoriello] in that Lou told me he didn't care what the system was as long as I believed in it, as long as I could teach it, implement it and that it worked. I assured him that while we were going to be aggressive in some areas we hadn't been maybe before, the cornerstone of this team was still going to be defending, keeping the shots down and playing tough, gritty defense. He gave me great support in that area.
"I had some conversations over the summer I took the job with [players] and I got the feeling that I had a captive audience that wanted to play that way a little bit more, and felt we would be a better team if we could find more balance in that area. We were coming off a year in which we ended up 30th in the League in goals for, so we needed to fix that."
When you were told you were done in Florida after three seasons of not making the playoffs, did you worry about getting another NHL head coaching job?
Hitch on perspective, today's playersBy Dan Rosen - NHL.com Senior Writer
Ken Hitchcock has a Stanley Cup ring on his finger -- but NHL.com is strictly talking puck to get his thoughts on today's players and what he learned from taking some time off. READ MORE ›
"You know what, I probably should have been [worried], but I wasn't. In my mind, while obviously there's things you would change in hindsight, I really felt I did the best job I could and I felt people would recognize that and some of the things we dealt with there in Florida during my time. To be honest with you, the phone wasn't ringing off the hook right after [I was fired], so those doubts did start to creep in a little bit prior to Lou calling, but initially I didn't have those doubts. I had confidence that people would recognize that while we didn't win, our team played hard every night and played the right way."
You were a head coach in the Ontario Hockey League for 13 seasons, which is a long time and would seemingly allow you to get comfortable there. Was coaching in the NHL always in your mind, always the goal, or were you just happy in the OHL and willing to let things play out?
"No, I always had it in my mind that I wanted to coach at the highest level possible; I just wanted to make sure I was prepared to go to that level and at the same time enjoy the moment of coaching at the level I was at. A lot of times, and this isn't just in hockey, you're in such a rush to get to the next step that you don't enjoy the step you're at. I wanted to make sure I enjoyed the step I was at, and I did. I loved that level of hockey. I thought I had the ability to make a real difference in a lot of young people's lives, not just guys that went on to the NHL but people that went on to become doctors, police officers -- it was a real rewarding step. But at the same time, I always wanted to coach in the best league in the world."
This is a three-parter: You hold a law degree from the University of Windsor, so I have to ask, why did you get one, how have you used it, and do you have any plans to use it in the future?
"All good questions. I got a law degree because it was an area that always interested me and I actually had the opportunity of working in a criminal-law firm one summer, working in an in-house legal department, and it was very rewarding. I can tell you I use my law degree, I feel, on a daily basis even though I don't practice law. I really believe coaching is about convincing players why they should be doing something and making a case for that. It's something I use all the time and it's something that has been invaluable in my coaching life. Will I ever practice law? I doubt it, other than informally as a coach, but I enjoyed my three years at law school and I feel I use the degree daily."
