HAVELOCK � Elainia White has a dream for Havelock.
HAVELOCK � Elainia White has a dream for Havelock.
Her dream is to change this, as she calls it, transit community into one that has its people come together. A community she said, �has the potential to make more connections with each other.�
White�s plan is to connect Havelock through yoga.
Having suffered from depression and anxiety herself � White knows firsthand the power yoga has to change life.
�Having yoga in my life has totally transformed my outlook on life,� she said. �I�m a much happier person.�
On Monday nights at 6 p.m., a yoga session above Make it Personally Yours in Havelock takes place. White�s seven students start the class by reading a daily meditation passage from Melody Beattie�s �Journey to the Heart.�
As student Molly Millea read from the book, the others sat, eyes closed, on their mats to hear inspiring words about coming to terms with who they are, and liking that person.
From there, the cleansing breaths and long-held poses began.
�My dog went down and didn�t come back up again,� first-time yoga student Carla Galloway said after attempting her downward dog pose.
Since October 2011, White has been giving yoga lessons. But after volunteering at Cherry Point air station, she saw a whole new way to help.
�When someone has a traumatic experience, they lose connection with their bodies,� she said.
And, yoga is one form of therapy for trauma recovery to connect people back with themselves.
After attending a workshop on trauma sensitive yoga, White now provides her services to men and women suffering from the effects of war and military life.
The �Back On Track� program allows White to bring yoga into the lives of distressed military personnel.
Retired Gunnery Sgt. Pam Lawley, who practices under White outside of the program, says the help White provides is �awesome.�
�It�s really amazing to me how many people don�t get help because they�re ashamed,� White said. �It�s like a broken arm. You should let the people who know how to fix it do so.�
Following the guidance of clinical psychologist and yoga teacher Dan Libby and what he used in creating his Veterans Yoga Project, White is confident in that the work she does helps.
�Learning to really relax is similar to learning how to run for a long time. It�s a skill,� she said.
A skill that White says she can improve in her students with props.
�Props make people more comfortable and get them deeper into relaxation,� she said.
What White wants most for her students is for them to learn to relax and how to be here in the now rather than in thoughts from the past or the future. She wants them to be in connection in their own bodies.
White has scheduled a fundraiser to benefit the Veterans Yoga Project at 5 p.m. Sunday at Kickstart Fitness, next to Bagels Plus of U.S. 70, in Havelock. The suggested donation is $10. More information about the project can be found online at the organization�s website at www.veteransyogaproject.org.
For more information on White�s yoga classes and Sunday�s fundraiser, call her at 247-9642.

Thursday Odds & Ends: Heroes, Twilight, 2012 and WoW therapists
+ Say you're having a perfectly good day and you have nothing to worry about. Well, the new @AsteroidWatch at Twitter can fix that for you. Follow @AsteroidWatch and they'll let you know anytime a large heavenly body is careening toward Earth. (That is not a fat joke.) I assume their site will be sponsored by Xanax.
+ Uh oh, there's been a casting shake-up on the new "Twilight" movie with the role of Victoria. Rachelle Lefevre got the glittery boot and has been replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard.
+ Aint It Cool has an interview with "Independence Day" producer Roland Emmerich about his new film, "2012," a small, quiet, character-driven film about the intricacies of the Mayan calendar. And when I say "small" and "quiet," I of course mean "it will make your ears bleed." I saw the preview before "Harry Potter" the other night and seriously, it has the John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier crashing into The White House during a tsunami. I'm serious. And yes, I will be seeing it.
+ Beware, the next time you play "World of Warcraft" and that elf next to you "just wants to talk," chances are he could be a therapist. A London psychiatrist has proposed getting therapists to work with gaming addicts from within their virtual worlds. You know what's going to happen, right? The therapists are going to get addicted and then it'll be just like "Stargate" with everyone following everyone else in all willy-nilly. It should be pretty awesome. The article includes this helpful depiction of a "WoW" character photoshopped onto a couch with a very tall therapist pointing at him and judging.
+ IO9 has a review of the first episode of the new series, "V" and they seem to like it, which is shocking because, well, since when did IO9 ever like anything?
+ And finally, here's an interview with Eric Bana about his role in the new Judd Apatow movie, "Funny People." Much as I love Eric Bana (I still cry when Hector gets dragged around the walls of Troy by that bastard Achilles in "Troy")(and yes, I own "Troy" because there's nothing wrong with a woman of a certain age owning DVDs of men in leather sandles and breastplates)(right?), this will likely be the only one of his movies I see this year. I can only handle about 15 seconds of "The Time Traveler's Wife" preview before I want to vomit. And on that note, happy Thursday everyone!

But what about Eric Bana in Star Trek. Granted, it neither looked nor sounded like Eric Bana, so I suppose it doesn't count.
And no, nothing wrong with a little sandle & skirt manly action now and then.
- Liz said...
Oops, I forgot about Star Trek. He was good in that -- but he didn't look as pretty as he should. :)
- janey_13 said...
Have you read The Time Traveler's Wife? Great book, but I'm nervous with what they did to it for the movie.
- ydtulsa said...
There is absolutely nothing wrong in taking a certain pleasure in watching the world be destroyed. Especially when it looks just so AWESOME and LEGENDARY.
- Liz said...
Janey, I read the book last year and enjoyed it but this movie just looks so cloying and overly sappy. It worries me.
Ydtulsa, this former Irwin Allen fan agrees.
- Alyson said...
I will be seeing the film version of The Time Traveler's Wife for one reason, and one reason only.
Ron Livingston.
(well, maybe a little bit for Bana too. but only a little)
- Kimberly said...
This WoW/therapy thing gets my goat big time. It's just another way for people (this time the psychiatrist) to prey on the "Your kid's going to be a violent killer because she plays video games!!!" fear.
Then again, with the "spunkiness" I see displayed in general chat every night in WoW, I don't think the good doctor & his minions know what they're getting themselves into!
- Gina said...
I'm surprised that the Heroes trailer looks pretty decent...season one rocked my socks, but it went down hill from there - I didn't even watch last year.
However, I mainly watched it because the screencapture on the vid is AWESOME. I love me some Sylar with a baby. ;)

The thing is, how can a power that destroys all supernatural phenomenon be considered natural. The laws of physics are "natural" in this world, because they are universal. Supernatural powers disrupt this. If Imagine Breaker was a natural phenomenon you would expect it to be a more common occurrence not just him. Hence the idea that Touma's ability truly exists completely separate from any rules humans can glean from... Imaginary indeed. Perhaps Aiwass will one day give us a better understandings using his other-dimensional thinking process.

physics unlike mathematics aren't universal. I say it even though I know what you mean because it's really important in science to not think our view of the world is the only one.
Well actually I don't know for mathematics, maybe we have some high level mathematic guy here?

So 'destroy all supernatural phenomenon' can still be 'natural'.

Maybe we'll be told eventually that I.B. really is some part of a natural process, but as of right now it seems to be an existence flying shotgun with the Holy Right in terms of categorization to me. But if the Holy Right is supposed to be natural too.... I'll shut my mouth now

Wow, that was a pretty interesting discussion in there. But yeah, Accel became even more powerful than before when he lost to Touma the first time. That and the speculations abound that Accel's now paving his way through the Magic Side, possibly becoming a successful esper-mage hybrid himself, the possibilities for him are practically endless.

FYI, the body is full of cancerous cells. They are only recognized as cancer when the growth goes out of control. If Accelerator tried to do what you suggested, he'd end up destroying his entire body. It's the same thing as bacteria - The body needs a balance of good and bad to be... well, balanced.
Espers themselves can be considered artificial means of AIM power. Gemstones are born naturally but Imagine Breaker affects them as well and AIM itself has a detrimental effect on Mana, another natural source of energy. Think about it, was AIM created as a means to keep mana in check by the planet or was an evolutionary process whereby AIM was created as a response to mana? Certain phenomenon cannot occur without something else being the catalyst.
In another way, we can look at Imagine Breaker as - Was Imagine Breaker created as a means or a response to the supernatural? But then, we only define those powers as Supernatural. What if the supernatural was normal? Then what meaning does Imagine Breaker have in a world like that? In a world with supernatural power, Imagine Breaker's effects can be considered 'normal' and in a normal world, Imagine Breaker is still... well, normal. An ideal Right Hand - It has meaning in a world that needs it.

Technically, the entire world is 'supernatural' if we go by any of the creation 'myths', and they don't necessarily have to be Christianity ones. God/s created the world, and the only reason why IB doesn't break everything is because they don't actively have supernatural energy in them (going back to the example from the first volume of how Touma can block magical fire but not the ash it left behind).

This probably isn't going to happen, but how do you think temporal powers would interact with Imagine Breaker? (For example, if someone makes time stand still, would the Imagine Breaker merely allow Touma to move around or would it cancel the time freeze the moment it was present in it)

If it's a mind affliction (like in Code Geass) then only Touma would be able to move in it. Probably the same with a global effect (like angel fall... but that level is beyond an esper.)
If it's a localized time displacement (similar to the dimension displacement in Shakugan no Shana) then it would probably be dispelled as soon as Touma enters the area.
If it's a personal time displacement (as in accelerating his own timeframe) then Touma could only end it by touching him with his right hand... But that would be hard if not impossible to do even with "precognition."
At least, that's how I think it would behave for these cases.

I think it's because Ki attacks have something to do about drawing power from nature, or from THEIR OWN SPIRIT ENERGY.
The problem is that in franchises where Ki attacks are introduced, spirit force is separate from life force. That is not the case in Index, as the spirit force (mana) needed to cast spells are derived from the magician's life force and a small fraction of energy from nature.
I would say that Ki attacks could be construed as Gemstone esper abilities developed OUTSIDE Academy City since it's not drawn from the user's life force. Flat What.
And to be fair, there shouldn't be a lot of people who do Ki attacks in Index considering that there are only 50 Gemstone espers in the world.
Of course, another way around it is to theorize that Ki attack users draw most of their powers FROM NATURAL ENERGY plus a small fraction of their life force.
So, yeah, Ki attackers are mages. It's just that Ki attacks are NOT runic magic, but rather a different kind of Functional Magic honed by integrating oneself to nature.

The European Union has just completed the world's biggest bank heist. They did it without firing a shot, blowing up a building, or breaking into a safe. They simply declared that some percentage of bank deposits in Cyprus now belongs to the EU to be used to bail out Cyprus. Though, it is still not clear exactly what percentage will be applied to the largest depositors.
This is the sort of thing we expect to see in Argentina. In Europe, supposedly run by the world's most sophisticated financial experts, this was unthinkable. Clearly, when governments get in trouble, the unthinkable is not a constraint.
After the Great Cypriot Bank Robbery, people have been wondering if it could happen here. Is it possible that our government would take our money out of our bank accounts?
Thomas Sowell says that it's not likely, because the United States has a tool not available to Cyprus: its own currency. That's correct. By inflating its currency, the United States could effectively take part of your savings. From the government's perspective, inflation can be even better than taking money out of a bank account, because it effectively allows the government to take from money not in banks. Inflation amounts to taking part of all money, including that in your pocket or under the mattress.
In any event, it's not a critical problem today. Low interest rates on government securities indicate that our government is experiencing no signs of the stress that drove Cyprus and the EU to take such drastic action. We could experience a brief inflationary episode, but that will reflect fed difficulty unwinding its expansionary policy of the past few years, not a governmental liquidity crisis.
Europe is another story. Will they do this again? It's a question that people all over Europe are asking themselves.
Cyprus is a very small country with a very small economy. Consequently, we would expect any crisis there to have small impacts beyond Cyprus' borders, and so far at least, the banking crisis appears to be contained to Cyprus. Appearance can be deceiving.
The European authorities have established a precedent. Because they have established that precedent, European depositors have to consider the possibility that at some point the government might come in and take some of their deposits. That will change their behavior, in ways that increase the likelihood and severity of a European financial crisis.
When the next EU country faces a crisis – there will always be crisis countries until the EU is broken up or it adopts a common fiscal policy, essentially becoming one country – depositors will withdraw deposits as the country moves toward some critical moment. That will create a banking crisis, a bank run, earlier and in addition to the country's fiscal crisis.
At that point, the EU could, in a race with the depositors to see who can get to the money first, close the banks and execute another heist, or they could do what authorities usually do when faced with a bank run: bail out the banks by providing liquidity while guaranteeing deposits and maybe closing the banks for a short time.
These are not attractive options. Another heist will immediately lead to bank withdrawals throughout southern Europe, because it will have removed the possibility that the Cypriot heist was a one-time event, a result of large Russian deposits in Cypriot banks. The bailout option only makes the fiscal problem worse, or it leads to inflation. Of course, however executed, any bailout will increase an already big moral hazard problem in Europe's banks.
If so many lives weren't impacted, it would be entertaining to watch the EU authorities struggle with a conundrum of their own making.

The industrial sector has returned to its growth trajectory, with overall industrial production during H1 up by 5.6% y-o-y. The rebound in exports from the automotive sector has pushed total export growth to the highest H1 figure since 2011.
During H1 2017 we registered a new completion volume of 432,100 sq m – more than doubling y-o-y. We expect a further 298,100 sq m to come to market in the remainder of the year.
Total vacant space amounts to 330,300 sq m, translating to a record-low 4% vacancy rate. As of Q2, most industrial hubs registered lower vacancy compared to year end.
Typical headline rents for standard BTS projects fall between EUR 3.60 – 4.00; newly delivered speculative projects are priced at EUR 3.60 – 3.80, whilst rents for vacated space range between EUR 3.20 – 3.60 (rent figures expressed / sq m / month).

What's transparent, powerful, and something that we use in our everyday lives? Nope, it's not the government, (though some people may think they control it). No, it's not the Internet, although we'll see in the coming years how the government changes that.
I'm talking about gasoline. Gasoline is a transparent liquid containing mainly hydrogen and carbon, and, when burning, produces mainly carbon dioxide and water. Americans use it every day to get to and from work and home, and to run all the errands of our daily lives.
Gasoline was one of the byproducts sloughed off at the beginning of the oil industry; back in the early days, kerosene was king. During the 19th century, kerosene replaced whale oil as the preferred fuel for lights, but as the automobile became popular and the internal combustion engine became common, gasoline became the preferred product of crude oil. In the end, gasoline beat out hydrogen, coal, and ethanol as THE fuel source for the automobile.
Today America uses over 360 million gallons of gasoline a day. That means on average we each use more than a gallon of gasoline every day.
Why is gasoline the fuel of choice? The quick and useless answer is because it's what we have. A lot of other fuels (hydrogen, coal, natural gas, ethanol, wood, etc) were tried, but gasoline proved to be easy to use, relatively easy to create, and energy rich. A gallon of gasoline contains about 132 megajoules (MJ) or 13 kilowatt hours. Ethanol is about 121 MJ/gallon.
What about coal? Coal isn't measured in gallons because it's a solid, but 1 pound of coal contains 16 MJ (where a pound of gasoline is 22 MJ). So we use gasoline because it's useful.
As we all watch the price of gasoline creep up and up, we all start to worry about it. When I first started driving, gasoline was less than a dollar a gallon. These days we see it jump past $4. Gasoline, which comes from crude oil, is a limited commodity. There is only so much on the market (84 million barrels of crude oil a day). Out of each barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil, 19 gallons of gasoline is made.
Out of each gallon of gasoline, about 11 percent of the cost goes straight to state and federal taxes. Eighteen percent goes into refining the crude oil into gasoline. The lion's share (62 percent) goes into the cost of getting the crude oil.
Saying all that, the price of gasoline is still important. In fact, a lot of our fellow citizens thought it was one of the major issues in the election, even though the President has little power over the cost.
What can we do to drive the price down? There are many corporations trying to find alternative ways to make gasoline. We know coal can be converted to gasoline. In fact, we know a couple of processes that work. Why are we not using them? As with most things like this, the answer is in the economics. If you have the plant in place, it's a very expensive process. If you don't have a plant in place, it takes years to build one. Hydrocarbons, like gasoline, can be created by feeding algae plastics, but that's a bleeding edge technology and not near production yet. We might even be able to pull hydrocarbons from the air, like a good magician. British scientists have come up with a way to take carbon out of the carbon dioxide in the air, combine it with hydrogen, and BAM! make gasoline. But all that's in the future.
What can we do to lower the price today? Simple: Buy less of it. Because there is a larger supply of gasoline available, the price will go down to reflect the change in the supply and the demand. Plan out your errands ahead of time so you can do them all at the same time and in an efficient driving manner. Use your legs and the nice weather (while we have it) and walk places instead of driving. Are there grocery stores in your neighborhood? Or a bookstore? Walk around and find out. Find out more ways to use less gasoline at ECC.hmns.org.

From the good folks at the Baltimore Orioles...
JJ Hardy selected as the AT&T Fans' Choice BobbleheadThe Orioles today announced that shortstop JJ HARDY has been selected as the AT&T Fans' Choice Bobblehead.

The voting concluded yesterday, with Hardy beating out 2B ROBERT ANDINO, 3B MARK REYNOLDS, RHP JAKE ARRIETTA, and RHP TOMMY HUNTER. This will be Hardy's first bobblehead with the Orioles.

With Election Day around the corner, five candidates are running for three seats on the town commission board in Snow Hill.
With Election Day around the corner, five candidates are running for three seats on the town commission board in Snow Hill.
While incumbent mayor Dennis Lyles is running unopposed, Rebecca Scarborough, Pat Shackleford, Bobby Taylor, Roger Whitson and Rosa Wilkes are all hoping to win a position on the town council. Scarborough, Shackleford and Taylor are incumbents, with Whitson and Wilkes looking to unseat at least one of them for the opportunity.
Each candidate was asked three questions about Snow Hill and how to improve the community. Multiple attempts to contact Scarbourough, Shackleford and Wilkes were unsuccessful.
What do you see as the most important issue facing candidates in Snow Hill this year?
Bobby Taylor (Town commissioner 2009-Present)
I don�t really think there�s one particularly major issue because everything is running so smooth right now. We just need to keep progressing and moving forward like we�ve been doing. As far as things I�d like to see worked on, property taxes are high on my priority list. We�ve been doing so good and have an abundance of revenue in our general fund, so we should be able to drop the property tax. Of course, water is always an issue.
Roger Whitson (Social Studies teacher at Greene County Middle School)
Integrity, ability and a vision for the town we can coherently pass on to others. Four years ago, Snow Hill was on the verge of bankruptcy, but because of the efforts of Bobby Taylor, Rebecca Scarborough, Dennis Lyles, Laura O�Brien and myself, we managed to avoid state takeover of administration in community. Now is the time for this town to do what other communities in the area are doing such as Kinston, Grifton, Greenville, which is public/private partnerships to bring a business and economic renaissance.
What would you do to spur economic development in Snow Hill?
Taylor: I would concentrate on the recreation in the town and in Greene County. I would like to use recreation and run with it, using the idea that we�re about 20 miles from everything and have space. This way, we could solicit businesses, rather than waiting for them to give us a call.
Whitson: We have to work on building the community and finding things such as light, manufacturing and agriculture, which is viable in Eastern North Carolina. Snow Hill has the resources to do it, if we have vision and leadership to make it happen.
How will you get the youth involved in the revitalization of Snow Hill?
Taylor: We can help the parks and recreation program by promoting their events to get the youth involved. The town has already been committed to helping the youth get involved. One example is voting to have the future Boys and Girls Club here in Greene County. Although it will be 3 to 4 miles from the city limits, we�ve already committed to assist with the process.
Whitson: I feel like the youth have been involved. My son, at 14 years old, developed the skate park here. We have rec league events and I know the level of involvement community has. Many committees on a government level are always looking for young people to assist, come up with ideas, and help implement and facilitate them. I know from personal experience the youth can make a difference.

Round the Rock previews OWA's latest Orbiter screening, CAPSULE.
Other Worlds Film Festival is pleased to announce the Texas premiere of the time-travel romantic dramedy SPEED OF LIFE. This special screening will take place on Wednesday, August 28 (7:30pm) at Galaxy Highland 10 Theatre.
LAST SUNRISE deftly takes on topical and timeless subjects, while spinning a compelling personal story. In the film, a future reliant on solar energy falls into chaos after the sun disappears, forcing a reclusive astronomer and his bubbly neighbor out of the city in search of light in the perpetual darkness.
The Texas premiere of the SciFi action comedy AXCELLERATOR takes place on Wednesday, June 26 (7:30pm) at Galaxy Highland 10 Theatre. Director David Giancola will be in attendance and will do a Q&A after the film.
Other Worlds Film Festival announces new branding and a new home as it enters its sixth season. Formerly Other Worlds Austin SciFi Film Festival, the new moniker reflects Other Worlds' natural evolution as an international brand and its broad influence with smart, independent sci-fi and horror films.
Other Worlds Austin SciFi Film Festival is proud to announce its 2018 Audience, Mary Shelley, Dan O'Bannon, Screenplay, and Cthulhies award winners. Large and enthusiastic crowds enjoyed a lot of SciFi (and a fair amount of horror) during the four-day fest (Dec. 6-9 at Flix Brewhouse). Audiences sampled more than 50 films from around the world, along with captivating Q&As, workshops, parties, and more.

Everybody reading this has had phones around their entire life. But think how much phones have changed recently. The telephone was invented in 1876 and in 1891 the first dial telephones were invented. That basic phone stayed the same for the next 74 years until 1963 when Bell Systems invented the "touch tone" phone, which was still pretty easy. My grandparents' whole life they had simple and stress free telephones.

I've blogged before about the annual pilgrimage to unfulfilled youthful opportunities!
Having never quite got around to going down to Castle Archdale and camping out as part of Summer Madness, I've known people connected with the event for nearly twenty years.
Since its move to the the Kings Hall/Balmoral Showgrounds, I've gone along on the Sunday morning as a day tripper - entrance on Sunday is free! - and joined the thousands of young and used-to-be-young for morning worship and communion, and often for lunch afterwards.
It's great to meet up with friends from school, folk from the church I grew up in as well as friends from those I've been part of since getting married and moved across to Belfast. And away from those who are recognised, there's a real encouragement about sharing communion with thousands of strangers who hold common beliefs and hopes.
Littl'un came along with me this year - she nearly knows more people at SM that I do ... and she's only three and a half! If the festival continues to thrive, I suspect one day she'll be setting off out the front door with a sleeping bag and a tent under her arm, and enough biscuits to survive the five days!
The weather was up to its usual standards. Driving showers as we departed for the four or five mile journey across town ... which stopped just before we arrived at the car park. And the rain came down as we started to walk back across the site to the car. Soggy tents all round.
I hope the event at Balmoral over this weekend will turn out to be the only madness in Ireland this summer. And I hope that God can use the thousands of folk at SM to put their faith into action in their communities - whether at home or abroad.

The GOP's Obama obsession
It's just two weeks into 2014, but House Republicans are already convinced that the key to winning November's elections is to talk about President Barack Obama as much as possible.
In public and private discussions, Obama remains the single-minded obsession of all top House Republicans. They can't get through a sentence without mentioning Obama or Obamacare. When top Republican leaders gathered last weekend at a boutique inn outside Washington for their annual planning retreat, the bulk of the conversation centered on Obamacare and presenting alternatives to what they consider Democrats' failed economic policies.
Story Continued Below
Republicans believe there is plenty of evidence that the midterm campaign will pivot on the president. Obama's approval ratings are sagging, his health care law is widely unpopular and, for the first time in years, GOP polls show that voters blame Obama — not them — for the country's economic woes. In the Capitol, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has finally figured out a way to squelch internal GOP warfare to remove the threat of a government shutdown — for now.
( Also on POLITICO: Holder: Obama NSA plans 'smart')
And the tradition of a "six-year itch" for sitting presidents — with the president's party losing dozens of House and Senate seats — is one that both parties are closely watching.
So, as House Republican leaders begin to eye the contours of their 2014 agenda, they are increasingly convinced that Obama and his policies will be productive ground for them to target when voters head to the ballot box in November.
Yet the GOP's single-minded focus on Obama could backfire if voters blame them for bashing the president instead of producing their own legislative agenda. And when asked, none of the Republican leaders bring up the budget deficit or $17 trillion-plus national debt, although fears over out-of-control government spending helped ignite the tea party movement in 2010.
On Tuesday, POLITICO asked several of the Republican Party's top leaders how they see 2014 shaping up — and the answer was remarkably consistent.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's pen-and-phone strategy)
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said that Republicans' main reason for coming to work each day on Capitol Hill is to "try to respond to the hurt being caused by Obama's policies."
Boehner agrees.
"I think this election … it's about two issues," Boehner said. "It's going to be about the issue of jobs. And when you look at it, the American people have a right to continue to ask the question, 'Where are the jobs?' The president's been in office now for over five years. It's time for the president to admit that his policies are not working. In addition to that, and also part of that, is the issue of Obamacare. Obamacare is part of the 'no jobs' problem."
"It's not just Obamacare," Cantor said. "It is so many of the policies they're putting in place. On energy, on regulation, on education, you just run the gamut. We feel that the policies coming out [of the White House] are very harmful to the country."
"The shelf life of Obamacare being a continuing disappointment is going to be significant," added Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.), the party's chief deputy whip. "I think Democrats, from a political point of view, are going to be running away from it."
( Also on POLITICO: State fights creating two Obamacares)
There are increasing signs that House Democrats are thinking along the same lines, too. Democrats are seeking political cover from Obamacare's woes, questioning whether the White House can ever successfully implement the landmark health care overhaul. Some moderate House Democrats are also retiring, giving Republicans an opportunity to widen their majority.
Republicans won't officially unveil their 2014 agenda until after meeting with all 233 House GOP lawmakers at the Republican Conference retreat, which will take place Jan. 29-31 at the Hyatt Regency resort in Cambridge, Md.
The focus on Obama and the momentum the GOP hopes that it will generate is a major reversal from the party's political fortunes late last year. Internal GOP polling from October — amid the government shutdown — showed Republicans underwater with voters. Almost 60 percent of voters then said what they were hearing about Republicans made them less favorable toward the party. Now, voters have roughly an even view of Democrats and Republicans.

100% Wind Energy? You bet!Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
During the 2007 Plenary, Haverford students elected to spend an extra $60 per student to purchase 100% wind energy for the College.
While the College is not directly buying wind energy, it is buying "offsets" that invest in renewable energy. For instance, funds are used to create wind farms that will eventually provide electricity.
Haverford College is one of a growing number of colleges purchasing wind energy for their campus. In July 2008, the United States overtook Germany as the world's top wind energy producer.

Cleaning a dirty bike is never much fun, so anything that makes it easier is to be welcomed. This four piece brush set from Park Tools gives you a comprehensive armoury for dealing with caked on mud, grubby rims and cassettes that look as if they've been dipped in Marmite.
All four brushes have their specific uses, some more useful than others. The tyre and frame brush is only going to be of real use to offroaders and cyclocrossers. It's far too big for road tyres and unless you have a downtube like a drainpipe it's not going to do much for that part of your bike either. The tapered detail brush isn't hugely useful either. It gets into narrow spaces, under brakes and behind sprockets but the bristles aren't stiff enough to have any real scrubbing power.
Of rather more use is the gear brush which has a handy scraper for getting between your sprockets and a sturdy scrubbing brush at the other end for tackling caked on grot. The real star of the show is the sponge brush, which does pretty much anything. The bristles shift the muck and the sponge holds enough soapy water to rinse it off. It's particularly good at cleaning rims and spokes.
These brushes fit nicely in the hand and should last a good long time. They look good too, in classic Park Tools blue and black. However, at almost 20 quid they ain't cheap and as only two of them are really useful for roadies they don't exactly represent sparkling value for money. If you have better things to spend your money on then a sponge and an old toothbrush will probably do the job just as well, though not as stylishly.

Exiled as a boy from his native land of Thule, Prince Valiant grew up in the vast fens of fifth century Britain before discovering his calling and destiny as a knight of King Arthur's storied Round Table. As inquisitive and intelligent as he is handy with a sword, Val rights wrongs and adventures across both the known and unknown medieval world. Along the way, he finds and marries the love of his life, Aleta, Queen of the Misty Isles, and fathers a family of equally adventuresome offspring. All of whom test his patience and bruise his ego to one degree or other such are families in any era.
Created in 1937 by the immortal Hal Foster, Prince Valiant continues strong to this day as the pinnacle of comic strip adventure storytelling. Balanced between the excitement and danger of medieval knightly derring-do and the domestic complexities surrounding a high-spirited family, Val has little time for rest and his devoted readership would have it no other way.
As representatives of Camelot, Val, Aleta and the roguish ladies' man, Sir Gawain, have seen adventures taking them throughout barbarian-plagued Europe; from the wilderness of Pictland to crumbling Rome and prospering Byzantium; from far Cathay to the unnamed Americas; from Ab'Saba in limitless Africa to Jerusalem and the sands of the Holy Land.
Equally adept with both his brains and brawn, Prince Valiant carries forth the ideals of Camelot as beacons of light and civilization in an often dark and violent age. As such, he remains an instantly identifiable and much beloved hero for generation after generation.
Aleta, Val's beautiful gray-eyed wife, is also the legendary Queen of the Misty Isles. Years before, Aleta cast a pleasant enchantment over the young Val, winning his heart forever. Intelligent, strong-willed, beautiful and courtly, Aleta has been an adored member of court and a heroic adventurer as well. She is Val's equal in every way.
Ill-adept at the pastimes of a warrior, Val's bookish son, Galan, seeks instead the life of a scholar.
Val and Aleta's twins, Karen and Valeta, are alike in looks only. Karen is carefree and fun-loving while Valeta is serious and moody. Karen became an Amazon in her late teens and later married Vanni, the son of the legendary Prester John. Valeta shares an occasional courtship with Cormac, a Druid priest.
Arthur's evil half-brother
Val and Aleta's youngest son was kidnapped at birth by the Emperor Justinian. Nathan was saved, and returned to his parents, thanks to the heroic efforts of his brother, Arn.
Prince Arn is Prince Valiant and Aleta's first-born son. Worldly, adventurous and enthusiastic, Arn has more than earned his spurs, becoming almost as great an adventurer as his father. His beautiful wife, Maeve, is the also the daughter of Arthur's evil half-brother, Mordred. Ingrid is their daughter, and Val and Aleta's only grandchild.
When King Aguar of Thule, ruler of what is now Norway, was driven from his throne by the usurper Sligon, the deposed monarch fled with his queen and 5-year-old son Prince Valiant to the wild fens of Britain. There Val waxed in wit and strength, became squire and friend to Sir Gawain and, through many feats of bravery, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table. Through the medieval world of noble quests and derring-do, chivalry and tournaments, Prince Valiant has battled evil and injustice with the "Singing Sword," a blade twin to Arthur's legendary Excalibur, forged by the same wizard. Val later dedicated this great weapon to the cause of justice before the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. As the years have passed, Val's contentment has grown. Since he first beheld the beautiful Aleta, gray-eyed Queen of the Misty Isles, he has been under her spell. He has married his fair lady, sharing both joy and heartache. They now have five children, two of whom are themselves married, and one of whom the eldest, Prince Arn is also a father. Today Val remains a powerful knight and adviser to King Arthur, and a heroic father and grandfather.
a rogue with the ladies, is Val's most worthy, if feckless, companion.

I think I have identified in the baptism records better candidates for the James Collins who married Catherine Driscoll and lived in Russagh, south of Skibbereen.
The details of this couple are in a previous posting. A summary of the family is here:
Marriage: 4-Mar-1862 Skibbereen & Rath.
Witnesses: Humphrey Collins, Jeremiah Driscoll
Johanna bap. 20-Aug-1863 Skibbereen Creagh & Sullon
Godparents: Michael Hegarty, Catherine Driscoll
Nancy bap. 11-Apr-1865 Skibbereen.
Godparents: Jeremiah Driscoll, Margaret Driscoll
Mary bap. 19-Feb-1867 Skibbereen
Godparents: John Collins, Julia Donovan
Hanora bap. 14-May-1869 Skibbereen
Godparents: Laurence Hourihane, Ellen McCarthy
Michael bap. 9-Oct-1871 Skibbereen
Godparents: Michael Collins, Mary Hourihane
Patrick bap. 19-Mar-1874 Skibbereen
Godparents: Michael Driscoll, Hanora Donovan
Catherine (mother recorded as Cadogan) 22-Dec-1876 Skibbereen
Godparents: Patrick Cadogan, Mary Donovan
Denis bap. 14-May-1879 Skibbereen
Godparents: Humphrey Collins, Mary Donovan
There was also a son John in the 1901 census, age 14, placing his birth around 1886. By 1911 both parents are shown gone (James died in 1907), and son Michael subsequently married one Maria Driscoll and had children.
According to his death record, in 1907, James was 67, putting his birth year about 1840. In the 1901 census he was 63, possibly pushing his birth year back to 1838. The oldest son of James and Catherine was named Michael, and the known remaining sons were named Patrick (born around St. Patrick's Day), Denis, and John. No known son was named Humphrey.
Among their family's event witnesses were Humphrey Collins and Laurence Hourihane, names that are nearly unique to the area around Lower Lissane.
I tried to place James either in the family of Humphrey Collins and Johanna Barnane, or in the family of Michael Collins and Mary Donovan. Based on the evidence, neither are a good fit.
In the Lissane family of Humphrey and Johanna, son James was born 1833. In the Lissane family of Michael Collins and Mary Donovan, son James was born 1829. From a naming tradition view, James of Russagh would have fit better with Michael Collins and Mary Donovan, but the age is nearly a decade off. From an age standpoint, he would have fit better with Humphrey Collins and Johanna Barnane, but no son was named Humphrey.
I have found two possible babies named James, both from Baunnahow, a location that is emerging as a place of great importance in my research.
1. James, son of Michael Collins and Ellen McCarthy, was baptized 30-Dec-1838. His godparents were Jerry Kedagon (Cadogan) and Nelly McCarthy. I cannot find any other children for this couple, who were married in Drimoleague & Drinagh RC Parish 5-Feb-1837. Witnesses were Simon Collins and Jeremiah McCarthy.
This one is my preferred working model for now, for several reasons - the age fits, the name of the father fits in that the first son was named after his paternal grandfather, and both the names Michael Collins and Ellen McCarthy show up as godparents to the Russagh Collins children.
What isn't explained is why there aren't more children for Michael Collins and Ellen McCarthy. Also, those two names - Michael Collins, Ellen McCarthy - could easily have been plucked from elsewhere to fill in as godparents.
It is tempting to think the name "Jerry Cadogan" would qualify as a possible future father-in-law to James. However, searching for Jerry Cadogan in the Drimoleague records does not turn up a daughter Catherine in the right age range, or son Michael (my theory being that Michael Driscoll Cadogan of Currabeg was her sibling).
2. James, son of Simon Collins and Johanna Driscoll, was baptized 5-Jul-1840. Godparents were Bat (Bartholomew) Collins and Joan Driscoll. There isn't anything particularly remarkable about this family, except that they had a daughter Norry, bap. 18-Jun-1837, who is a contender for the Honora Collins who married James Collins and lived in Lower Lissane. I'm still working on her.
I would prefer to think that James, son of Michael Collins and Mary Donovan, married Honora Collins and stayed put in Lower Lissane because it is simpler. The marriage took place 24-Jan-1861 in Drimoleague & Drinagh and the marriage record notes James was from Caheragh parish. I believe my grandfather's family had ties to this family.
A move from Baunahow to Russagh is a complication, however from the church record evidence the family in Russagh knew people from the Lower Lissane area, so there was a move.
I am very interested in finding descendants of this family.

I was reading the comments about this recent image of Garance and I kept seeing "cover her ankles!!" "exposed skin, be careful!" and other likeminded comments. Although those sentiments could be true in some cases, that morning all Garance could talk about was how overheated she felt.
I think we see a picture of a person outside and imagine they will be out wandering around for hours in the dire elements. To be honest, on a cold day most of us try to spend as little time outside as possible.
The question we all end up facing each day is how do we dress for our indoor life vs our outdoor life? I'm outside for long stretches so I consider my outdoor dress more carefully than someone like Garance whose indoor comfort is the focus.
So, do you dress for the commute or the office?

Rose Larsen | KF19 | Colombia
My first glimpse of Barranquilla, Colombia was of wide avenues lined with tropical trees bearing unfamiliar fruits; a busy, congested city sprouted up in a tropical coastal jungle. Having lived my entire life in the cool, foggy embrace of San Francisco, my first few weeks in Barranquilla have involved quite a bit of adapting.
Since most people's picture of Colombia seems to involve guerillas, kidnappings and cocaine, I thought I'd share what life is REALLY like, here on the Caribbean coast of Colombia.
It's Too Darn Hot!
The most striking difference between Barranquilla and anywhere else I've ever lived is the humid, oppressive heat. At night, it is a cool 80 degrees; during the day it gets up in the 90s and I come home each day sticky and exhausted. Because of this, no one walks anywhere, taking taxis or buses even short distances – a fun day out for the family might be a stroll through the local mall, just because it's air conditioned!
The heat is often supplemented by sudden heavy rains which dump down on the city for between 20 minutes and an hour, leaving the streets flooded with "arroyos," rivers of rainwater and trash that flow rapidly and dangerously down the streets into the river. (See a previous Kiva fellow's blog about arroyos for some terrifying videos).
¿Qué significa sancocho, sipote y guayabo?
Another challenge for me has been adjusting to the local dialect. Colombian Spanish varies wildly by region, with at least 10 different dialects spoken, varying in both accent and vocabulary. Costeño Spanish, that spoken by people from Barranquilla and the nearby Cartagena and Santa Marta, is notoriously fast and slurred. When two Costeños speak to each other, I catch about 30% of the conversation, if I'm lucky. A combination of the speed and the strange slang made up of indigenous Caribbean words can leave me feeling lost in many conversations. Luckily, Costeños are very accommodating people and make an effort to slow down for me.
Their Hips Don't Lie
Given that Barranquilla's most famous progeny is Shakira, is that what most Barranquilleros listen and dance to? If my one night out in a swanky Barranquilla night club (located inside a mall!) is any indication, no. The popular music around here is Vallenato, the raucous crossbreed of cumbia and indigenous Caribbean Colombian rhythms featuring an abundance of accordian:'
Even though Vallenato is Colombia's equivalent of country music (no offense, country music fans!), that doesn't stop girls from dressing to the nines when getting ready to go out: fancy dresses, five inch heels, and heavy make-up. Then they dance for hours to a mixture of vallenato, reggaeton and salsa, with a few Rihanna songs thrown in. And so far, the stereotypes seem to be true: Colombians are incredible dancers.
Guayava, Nispero and Lulo, oh my!
Adapting to the food in Barranquilla has been an exciting adventure. The basic meal includes beans, coconut rice, salad, cooked plantains, and some kind of meat, along with a soup.
But the really exciting part is the huge variety of fruit available here! Vendors like Kiva borrower Luis Enrique sell whole fruits, slices of watermelon or orange juice by the side of the road, and shops called "Fruteras" offer an amazing array of choices, from the familiar bananas, oranges and apples to the more exotic mangos, passion fruits and guavas, to the completely unknown níspero, zapote, and lulo!
On one of my first days, I headed to the supermarket and bought one of every new fruit I could find. Now, I try to stop by a fruit stand a few times a week for some níspero juice or a zapote smoothie.
Some of these changes are exciting, some are hard, and some are painful (okay, mostly the heat). But what makes it all worthwhile being here?
The warm, welcoming people of the Colombian coast, whose friendliness is unrivaled.
Last week I had my first chance to see what Kiva borrowers are like here in Barranquilla. I headed to a vibrant, colorful neighborhood called Ciudadela 20 de Julio with José, a loan officer for Fundación Mario Santo Domingo, the Kiva partner I will be working with for the next four months. We wandered around a group of stands in a plaza near the soccer stadium called Metroplaza, and it seemed that every other business had taken out a Kiva loan.
First we chatted with a man selling bracelets, temporary tattoos and handicrafts, then met a friendly older couple selling jerseys for "the best team in the world," Barranquilla's Juniors (I suspect there might be a slight bias there).
My favorite stop was at a fast food restaurant. Yudanis and Adrian told me that they had taken out about 5 loans from Kiva, using them to buy kitchen appliances, including their oven featured in this photo roasting some chickens. They moved to this spot recently and have seen an increase in sales from soccer fans and workers in the area having lunch.
As I walked away, Yudanis came running after me, handing me this keychain to remember her by.
Yes, it's definitely all worth it.

i am having problems getting "dump" mode to work correctly. it seems to work fine as long as the input (-i) parameter refers to a folder -- but i'm trying to back up an entire logical drive. when i do this, the results seem to be almost random. a "dump 0" works fine, but a "dump 1" never works correctly. sometimes it yields a full backup (same as "dump 0"), other times it produces an incremental backup that consists of a lot of files that have not been changed since the "dump 0". i can't figure out any logic to it.
as a sidenote, there appears to be a DUMPDATES.TXT file that i'm guessing is a control file that determines what should and should not be backed up -- but i can't find any documentation on it. anyway, if it is in fact crucial to this process, it's also being updated somewhat at random -- which might explain why the "dump 1" is not working correctly.

Slavic & Eastern European History
A. Purpose and Program Description
The Libraries seek to support the interdisciplinary curricular and research needs of undergraduate and graduate students (MA, Ph.D.) and faculty from a broad range of departments from across the Columbia community. While the History and Political Science programs have been traditionally strong, Columbia also has significant economics, sociology, and other social sciences research programs as well. Although, there was a decline in the number of students studying these topics following the dissolution of the Soviet empire, Columbia's programs have since revived to a degree and stabilized and continues as a Title VI National Research Center.
B. General Selection Guidelines (see classed analysis for detailed statement)
Overall, the Libraries' existing collection, its current acquisitions commitment, based on available resources, and its collecting goal are all at the research level.
C. Specific Delimitations
- Formats Collected: We collect monographs, periodicals, reference tools, and monographic series extensively; annuals, newspapers, web resources, dictionaries, textbooks, CD-ROMs, and maps selectively; and ephemera (posters, pamphlets, etc.), videotapes and dissertations very selectively.
- Imprint Dates Collected: We collect 20th century materials extensively and all other periods selectively.
- Chronological Focus: We collect 19th and 20th century materials extensively and all other periods selectively.

Various inversions, deletions, and reinsertions on Chromosome 12p in autosomal-dominant hypertension with brachydactyly – a FISH-study in four families and one sporadic case.
Verschiedene Inversionen, Deletionen und Reinsertionen auf Chromosom 12p bei autosomal-dominant vererbtem Bluthochdruck mit Brachydaktylie – eine FISH-Untersuchung an vier Familien und einem sporadischen Patienten
Search Medline for
|August 8, 2006
We described a Turkish family with autosomal-dominant, salt-insensitive primary hypertension, and type E brachydactyly. Affected persons die of stroke <50 years of age. Genome-wide linkage analysis disclosed a 10 cM locus on chromosome 12p11.2 (LOD score, 9.29). We sequenced all known genes within the candidate region, but found no mutations. However, interphase fluorescence-in-situ-hybridization (iFISH) studies, using a five-clone BAC array spread across the locus, showed an inversion, deletion, and reinsertion mutation. We now extended iFISH-analysis to three other families and one sporadic case (all non-Turkish), with a 24-clone, contiguous BAC array. We confirmed rearrangements at chromosome 12p in all studied patients. All affected persons had an inversion of the centromeric part of the locus. However, the inversions lacked a common breakpoint and differed greatly in size. In one instance, the locus boundaries were extended. No disruptions of any known coding sequences occurred. Finally, the sporadic case also had a partial deletion of the inverted sequence that was reinserted in the telomeric part of the locus. These findings support a causative role of chromosome 12p rearrangements in the genesis of the hypertension-brachydactyly syndrome. Since no known genes are affected by the mutations, possible causes for the syndrome include as yet unknown genes or non-coding RNA. A position effect must also be considered that could alter the interplay between a regulatory element and its respective gene. We are currently investigating these possibilities.

BONO — Two teenagers working as volunteers at a northeast Arkansas haunted house suffered severe burns when another worker poured paint thinner into a burning barrel, causing it to burst into flames, authorities said.
The fire broke out late Saturday at Nightmare Productions Haunted House on U.S. 63 between Jonesboro and Bono. The haunted house's owner, Cody Russell, said they don't yet know why the worker poured the chemical into the barrel but said he's since been dismissed from the company.
"The only thing I could figure is they were trying to get a fire started because it was cold," Russell said. "It was a bad judgment call."
Craighead County sheriff's deputy Dustin Norwood said the 13-year-old boy and 14-year-old boy both suffered second- and third-degree burns on their faces and necks, and the fire singed off most of their hair. The older teen also suffered burns on his arms and hands, authorities said.
The teens weren't employees of the haunted house but were there as volunteers, Russell said.
"We were letting them have some fun scaring people," he said.
Allen Jackson, father of the 13-year-old, told The Jonesboro Sun that his son is still in pain but is trying to remain positive. He said his son suffered extensive burns from the incident.
"It was an accident, but it was a stupid accident that could have been avoided," Jackson said.
Authorities are investigating whether to file criminal charges against the worker who poured the chemical into the barrel, police said. That worker, who hasn't been identified, wasn't injured in the fire.
Russell said none of the haunted house's attractions used paint thinner, so it was unclear why the worker brought the chemical.
"We try to run a family-friendly environment without injuring anybody, and an adult was irresponsible," Russell said. "We are incredibly sorry on top of everything."
