CIRCLEVILLE, OH & PENSACOLA, FL -- Voters in several key battleground states will find something unusual when they open their Sunday papers this week: a "Mittzine," a magazine all about Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
The insert, paid for by a pro-Romney superPAC , is a glossy, full-color 12-page publication that will be packaged into roughly 4.5 million newspapers in Ohio, Iowa, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Florida.
The magazine was paid for by a super PAC called the "Ending Spending Action Fund," which was founded by conservative billionaire Joe Ricketts, founder of TD Ameritrade and an owner along with his family of the Chicago Cubs. Originally focused on combating congressional earmarks, the group now espouses spending cuts and debt reduction as well, according to a profile compiled by the transparency-in-government website OpenSecrets.Org.
The super PAC spent just over $1 million on this advertisement.
"Who are the Romneys?" reads the front-page headline of the magazine, and a series of articles tell the Romney family biography. Another page has a chart comparing President Obama and Romney with the headline "Who should lead America for the next four years?" The insert also features light stories about Romney's running mate Paul Ryan, and even a crossword puzzle, with clues pulled from the candidate's life stories.
The clue for 1-down: "The burger company where Paul Ryan worked as a kid" and then for 17-across "Mitt's loving wife who showed her qualities at the RNC convention."
The "Mittzine" will appear in several major papers Sunday including: The Cleveland Plain Dealer, The Des Moines Register, The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and The Richmond Times Dispatch.

- Convenient panel of 7 negative control siRNAs
- Simplifies finding the best negative controls for a particular screen
- Functionally proven to have minimal effects on cell proliferation and viability
- Validated for use in human, mouse, and rat cells
- Also includes a positive control siRNA with a clear cytotoxic phenotype for assessing siRNA delivery efficiency
As with experiments using individual siRNAs, effective negative and positive control siRNAs are essential for determining transfection efficiency and to control for the general effects of siRNA delivery in these screens. Negative control siRNAs are also critical for setting the "hit" threshold that determines whether an siRNA is considered as having a positive, negative, or neutral effect in a particular assay. Because of their importance, and due in part to the fact that some negative control siRNAs may have unintended effects in a particular assay, most researchers carefully test their negative control siRNAs before choosing ones for inclusion in their screen.
Ambion now offers the Silencer® siRNA Screening Control Panel, a set of seven unique negative control siRNAs that enable RNAi researchers to identify the best negative control(s) for their cell system. These siRNAs lack similarity to nucleotide sequences in all known human, mouse, and rat genes. They have been tested in cell-based screens and proven to have no significant effect on cell proliferation, cell viability, and cell morphology, highlighting their usefulness as negative controls. An example of the effect of transfecting these controls on cell number is provided in Figure 1A.
Figure 1.Effects on Relative Cell Number after Transfections with Silencer® Screening Control siRNAs. UMR106 (A) and HeLa (B) cells were reverse transfected with 30 nM siRNA [Silencer Negative Control siRNAs (A) and Silencer Kif11 siRNA (B)] in triplicate using siPORT™ NeoFX™ Transfection Agent. Three days after transfection, the cells were harvested, and the relative number of cells in each sample was measured in a fluorescence plate reader using a fluorescein diacetate substrate.
As an added benefit, a positive control siRNA to human, mouse, and rat Kif11 (Eg5) is included. Knockdown of Kif11, which encodes a kinesin family motor protein, leads to mitotic arrest (Figure 1B). Effective delivery of Kif11 siRNA can thus be easily assessed visually; it can also be measured by several cell-based assays.
Each of the seven negative control siRNAs, as well as the Kif11 siRNA, in the Silencer siRNA Screening Control Panel is provided dried at 1 nmol. Each control siRNA is also available individually at 5 nmol and can be custom packaged to provide larger amounts.

Think You Can't Get By With Baby On One Income? Think Again.
Photo credit: Darryl Leniuk/Photodisc/Getty Images
Plan ahead
Looking back, planning ahead to be a stay-at-home mom would have given my husband and me the time to set aside more of a savings cushion for when I left my full-time job. I suggest starting a stay-at-home mom fund when you begin trying for Baby and adding to it every payday while you're currently working.
Pay cash
Instead of relying on credit cards that will gouge you with interest rates, try not to buy anything you can't afford with money you already have in the bank. This can get tricky when it comes to all the supplies and equipment you'll need for Baby, however. I scoured garage sales, second-hand stores and Craigslist for deals on big items like car seats, cribs and strollers. When it comes to diapers, wipes and basics like onesies and burp cloths, buy in bulk to stretch your dollars.
Cut corners
If you look at all your expenditures for an entire month, I'm certain you'll find things you can cut back on or entirely eliminate. That daily or weekly roll through the Starbucks drive-through for your pricey caffeine fix can easily be replaced by making your own java at home then toting it with you in an oh-so-trendy travel mug. Another option is to sell one of your cars, assuming you own more than one. It helps if you live in a city or town that is walking/biking friendly or has a great public transportation system. When you become parents, your lifestyle may change enough to actually save you money. My husband and I found that we were naturally staying home more with our first child, thus saving money we would have otherwise spent on dinners and drinks, movies, concerts and trips.
Find a way to earn an income from home
Telecommuting or working part-time from home is an ideal way to stay connected to your career while still being able to be home with your babies. I went from being a full-time magazine editor to a part-time freelance writer. It gives me great pride to maintain a connection to the career that I love while also being there for my children. As my kids have gotten older and are now in school, I have found it easier to maintain the balance between mom life and work life and have increased my part-time work accordingly.
Don't put pressure on yourself
Being a stay-at-home mom is a job in itself — so don't stress about trying to contribute financially if you and your partner have already agreed upon your new stay-at-home status. This still continues to weigh on me, even though my husband is nothing but supportive of my role as a mom as well as a part-time freelance writer. However, I try to reiterate to myself the importance of being there for my kids in their early years and spending quality time guiding them as they develop into independent little people.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 21, 2013) – Trailing 77-70 with five minutes left, the ETSU men's basketball team put together a 14-0 offensive run and ultimately wrapped up a holiday gift for Buccaneers' fans, dropping non-conference foe Austin Peay 84-79 Saturday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
With the win, ETSU enters the Christmas break with a 6-6 overall record, while the Governors drop to 5-8 on the year.
The Bucs trailed by as many as 15 in the first half and were behind 50-37 at the break, having allowed Austin Peay to shoot 66 percent from the field and 57 percent from 3-point range before the intermission. However, ETSU responded by outscoring the Govs 47-29 in the second half, and held Austin Peay to just 34 percent shooting from the floor and 22 percent from beyond the arc in the final 20 minutes.
"It's a great win for our team," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team has won six of its last eight games. "It was a game of runs and we did not play well the final 15 minutes of the first half. But in the second half we played pretty darn good. I don't want to overstate things, but to be down seven points and to finish on a 14-0 run except for their dunk at the buzzer was huge."
The Bucs got a team-high 21 points from junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.), while fellow junior guard Jaley Riley (Racine, Wis.) pitched in 16 points. In addition, freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) and senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) netted 14 points apiece.
In the final five minutes, the Bucs got strong defensive efforts as well, as Gadsden-Gilliard, Rembert and senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) combined to block shots on three of five Austin Peay possessions. Those stops led to ETSU baskets on the other end. In fact, it was following Rembert's block with 1:48 left that Poderis rebounded the ball and dished to Riley, who then found a cutting KGG, who hit his layup and was fouled, completing a traditional 3-point play to give the Bucs their first lead of the second half at 80-77.
They would never relinquish that advantage.
In the first half, ETSU opened on a 12-0 run to begin the game, but Austin Peay went on to outscore the Bucs 50-25 the rest of the way to build their 50-37 halftime advantage. The Governors still held a double-digit lead at 64-53 with 12 minutes left, but at that point the Bucs slowly got back into the contest.
For the game, Austin Peay enjoyed a 38-30 advantage on the glass, but the Bucs grabbed 13 steals and forced 20 turnovers by the Governors. ETSU also ended the game with a 17-of-20 clip at the foul line (85 percent), and shot 47 percent from the field.
Austin Peay got a game-high 23 points from Chris Horton, while Cory Arentsen and Serigne Mboup collected 21 and 10 points, respectively.
ETSU will enjoy an eight-day break for Christmas before hosting Valparaiso in its final non-conference game of the regular season on Dec. 29 at 4 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

Before student pilots during WWII became hot-shot allied fighter jocks, they first needed a remarkably advanced trainer. The tough AT-6 gave them the ability to handle all the bad habits of a fighter and become well-disciplined with a high level of respect for their aircraft. Today, thousands of cherished AT-6's still fly, even after serving beyond the trainer role. The E-flite® AT-6 1.5m airplane is a rare tribute to the unsung warbird and a chance to enjoy a beautiful flying scale model uninhibited by the flight envelope that bound the original.
Your enjoyment of the E-flite AT-6 1.5m starts right out of the box with an airframe beautifully finished in durable EPO foam. The structure of the lightweight components features composite reinforcement throughout to provide an outstanding blend of strength and flight performance. The one-piece wing harnesses the ailerons, sturdy electric retracts and the distinctive three-panel split-flaps without a web of wires. Instead, all servo leads are concealed into a hands-free connection system that makes aircraft assembly ultra-simple. Behind the radial engine and exhaust detail is a powerful brushless motor system that only requires a 3S LiPo battery. Plus, there's ample room for a high-capacity pack under the pilot appointed magnetic canopy hatch so you can enjoy longer flight times. In the air, light wing loading and an abundant amount of thrust combine to deliver a warbird experience that's as easy to handle as it is fun to fly. Whether it's your first scale model or a special addition to your collection, this AT-6 is sure to be the easy-flying heavy-metal replica you've always wanted.
The model's AS3X (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) receiver works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying an expertly tuned aircraft.
If you're a relatively new pilot or want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional SAFE Select technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.
With SAFE Select features enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
Automatic Self-Leveling
Easy Switch Assignment-No Programming Required
As an E-flite Bind-N-Fly® Basic RC replica, you can enjoy air superiority in no time at all. Final assembly is minimal and can be complete in about the time it takes to charge your battery. Model Presets are also available to make Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter programing even simpler, which means that getting into the air quickly has never been easier. (Transmitter, Flight Battery, and Charger Sold Separately)
The trim scheme is inspired by a variant better known as an LT-6 flown by the "Mosquitos" squadron who performed dangerous surveillance to coordinate key missions throughout the Korean War.
The operational flap system replicates the distinctive full-scale, split-flap arrangement. The landing gear features scale wheels, strut covers, hinged doors and electric-retract action.
You don't have to touch any servo leads. An innovative hands-free servo connection system automatically plugs in the aileron, flap and retract connectors whenever you attach the wing.
Out of the box, basic assembly requires only two screws. At the field, the one-piece wing features a hands-free servo connection system and the security of four mounting screws. Easy access to your flight battery is through the large magnetic top hatch.
The power system features a strong 15-size brushless outrunner, 40-amp ESC and a scale 2-blade propeller that combine with your 2200–3200mAh 3S 30C Li-Po battery to deliver outstanding thrust.
Construction with durable EPO material makes it possible to replicate complex detail in a lightweight form. The result is an outstanding scale appearance that's easy to maintain and allows the most satisfying flight experience possible to shine through.

1986: Schroeder and Redskins Overcome Kramer and Missed PATs
The game between the Minnesota Vikings (5-3) and host Washington Redskins (6-2) on November 2, 1986 at RFK Stadium was a hard-fought battle that went into overtime. Ultimately, it was a heartbreaking loss on a record-setting day for Vikings QB Tommy Kramer. The Redskins, who came into the Week 9 matchup in a three-way tie atop the NFC East, skirted with defeat but managed to come from behind to force OT and eke out the win.
Washington struck first with a two-yard TD run by RB George Rogers and a 25-yard Max Zendejas field goal to take a 10-0 lead. But the Vikings answered with two touchdowns of their own, including a 67-yard pass play from Kramer to WR Leo Lewis to lead 14-10 at the end of the first quarter.
Redskins DE Dexter Manley returned a fumble 26 yards for a TD in the second quarter, but the extra point attempt failed. A 39-yard field goal by Minnesota's Chuck Nelson made the score 17-16 in favor of the Vikings at the half.
Kramer had two more long TD pass plays in the third quarter, first to TE Steve Jordan for 68 yards and the second to Leo Lewis once again, this time for 76 yards. In between, Washington added a field goal and 40-yard TD run by Rogers to make the score 31-26 at the end of three quarters.
When Tommy Kramer tossed his fourth touchdown pass of the day, this time a short one of only a yard to RB Darrin Nelson, the Vikings appeared to be in control with a 38-26 lead and just 5:16 remaining on the clock. But Washington QB Jay Schroeder hit WR Art Monk for a 34-yard touchdown (again the PAT attempt was missed) and, with 1:03 remaining in regulation, Rogers scored his third TD of the game from two yards out. However, for the third time the extra point attempt failed, thus taking the game into sudden death.
A Schroeder to WR Gary Clark pass play of 38 yards ended the struggle and gave Washington a 44-38 win. Drained Head Coach Joe Gibbs said afterward "I feel like we've been playing for twelve hours….like we won, lost, won, lost, and won all at the same time". For Vikings Head Coach Jerry Burns it was a bitter defeat, "a very tough loss to take. I thought we had it."
Tommy Kramer set a Minnesota team record with 490 passing yards, completing 20 of 35 passes with 4 TDs and an interception. Including the two long touchdowns, Leo Lewis ended up with 159 yards on just three receptions, but he wasn't the highest yardage producer of the receivers – that was Steve Jordan with 179 yards on six catches and a long score of his own.
Both of Washington's starting wide receivers, Gary Clark (123 yards) and Art Monk (102) reached triple figures, each with six catches. Schroeder, the second year quarterback, completed 24 of 47 passes for 378 yards with two TDs and an INT. George Rogers was the game's leading rusher with 88 yards on 19 carries, including the three scoring runs.
The gunslinging Kramer ended up with an even 3000 yards in 1986 and led the NFL with a passer rating of 92.6, with an uncharacteristically strong ratio of 24 TD passes to 10 interceptions. Minnesota ended up with a 9-7 record, in second place in the NFC Central.
The Redskins went 12-4 and were a wild card entry in a postseason that saw them advance all the way to the NFC Championship before falling to the division rival Giants. Kicker Max Zendejas, of the three missed PATs, did not last that far – he was replaced prior to the regular season finale. Second-year quarterback Jay Schroeder had the best of his three seasons with Washington, passing for 4109 yards, although tossing as many interceptions as touchdown passes (22 each). On this day, he had skill enough to bring his team back from the brink and pull out a victory.

Coming Soon
The Cummins-Powered 2016 TITAN® XD. The first of a family of all-new trucks with heavy duty attitude and full-size sense.
The all-new Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel[*] is the heart of the next-gen TITAN XD. This beast of an engine brings heavy-duty attitude and torque to half-ton pickup territory, and does it with better fuel economy than its gasoline counterparts.
Dropping a Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine in a half-ton creates enormous towing power[*]. If you're going to use all that power, you're going to need the stability provided by a gooseneck hitch, so we engineered one right into the frame. In early trials held in sweltering Arizona (testing ground for the new SAE J2807 towing standard), we pulled more than 5 tons, and the TITAN XD performed with total confidence.
We needed a bigger, burlier chassis to handle TITAN XD's expanded towing and payload potential, so we looked at the battle-tested chassis of the Nissan Commercial Vehicle as a jumping off point. From there we engineered a new frame and chassis and reinforced them with some seriously substantial components. [*]
To improve handling and ride comfort, we designed a new heavy-duty suspension for the 2016 TITAN XD. The double wishbone front suspension was reinforced and tuned, and the back end got a lot more rigid thanks to bigger leaf springs and overhauled leaf bushings.
To handle the raw power pounding out of the Cummins 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel engine, we backed it with a heavy-duty 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission[*]. Sure, it might seem like overkill for a light-duty pick up, but the TITAN XD isn't exactly "light-duty".
We bolted 14 inches of ventilated, hydraulically boosted stopping power onto all four of the TITAN XD's big wheels. They'll stop your truck, but they'll never slow down the job. With brakes like these, you'll always want to be buckled up.
We strapped a rugged new transfer case on to ensure maximum power distribution in every gear. It pushes torque to both axles, and gives you four-wheel drive whenever you need added traction on snow, ice, sand, mud, muck, dirt, water, gravel… whatever the job site can throw at you.
With TITAN XD's imposing towing and payload stats, this is a truck that needs one hell of a backbone, so we gave it a larger high strength steel, fully boxed, full-length ladder frame. Every component has been bolstered and strengthened for added stiffness, vertical and lateral bending, as well as torsional rigidity.
We've swapped out the rear end for a bigger, tougher purpose-built axle from the folks over at American Axle Manufacturing (AAM). This vital component has been proving itself for years in the workhorse lineup of Nissan Commercial vehicles, and it'll have you towing[*], tugging, winching, and pulling pretty much anything you need to tow, tug, winch, or pull.
There is no better way to say "this thing means business" than putting a gooseneck hitch in the bed of a truck. Even more so when that gooseneck hitch is built into the frame. This gooseneck can handle serious business, and the hitch ball is removable so you can just pull it out when you need a flat bed.
The all-new 2016 TITAN XD lineup boasts a cargo box loaded with available features. The innovative Utili-track® cargo system features four heavy-duty aluminum alloy cleats that move and lock anywhere along the walls, bed floor and header tracks to give you endless tie-down possibilities. Lockable in-bed storage sits sight-unseen at street level, and flush-mounted LED lighting helps you find that rogue socket wrench in the dark. This is a truck bed that not only lets you work harder, it helps you work smarter. [*]
The all-new Nissan Titan XD Crew Cab is the first in a lineup of Titan trucks that will be offered in multiple cab configurations, powered by Cummins Diesel and Nissan gasoline engines.

Friends from Farata at MAX
|My friends from Farata Systems, Victor and Yakov, were at MAX. Yakov spoke on Flex Frameworks at 360
|MAX, was part of a panel discussion on the subject and also preseted a BOF on the subject. Unfortunately, I missed his BOF, because I was busy running my own the same time. It was fun hanging out with Victor and Yakov and catching up. We (i.e. Saven and Farata) worked together (along with friends from Digital Primates — the Mike, Mike and Jeff trio) to bring the super successfull Flex Camp Wall Street earlier this year and hope to bring back a turbo charged second edition as soon as the stock market shows signs of a better appetite!
Here is a picture from Monday (Novemebr 17th) morning, where you see Victor and Yakov with Anthony T. DeBonis (the coordinator of a vibrant Flex/Flash user group in Albany, New York).

Back to the Garden Childcare, which has spaces for 120 children in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, has appointed Niki Charnock as the nursery's nutritionist
In her new role, Niki, who is a qualified Naturopathic Nutritionist, will provide expert nutritional advice for children and parents, ensuring all who attend the nursery are encouraged into healthy eating habits from a young age.
By working with the parents, sharing ideas and easy recipes for nutritious meals at home for the whole family, Niki hopes to educate on the importance of eating well from birth onwards, improving gut health, strengthening immunity and promoting brain health, which enhances productivity and concentration. She plans to introduce Wellness Wednesdays at the nursery, inviting parents and grandparents to stay to learn more about family nutrition, and will impart her knowledge through interactive workshops using relaxing treatments with doTERRA essential oils to help with both health and nutrition.
Jeannie Pickering, co-founder of Back to the Garden Childcare, says: "Niki's input at Back to the Garden will really assist the children and their parents adapt a healthier approach to all meal times, ensuring healthy habits become an integral part of family life now."

text: Since it was suggested in a [i]Sherlock[/i] thread that there should be a separate thread for CBS' Elementary (though there are dead threads here and here)... There were two big pieces of Elementary news yesterday. First, Rob Doherty talked about the Super Bowl episode, Moriarty, and Irene Adler as part of the Television Critics Association's press tour. In particular, despite recent revelations, there will be an actress cast as Irene. Second, John Hannah has been cast Rhys, Holmes' former drug dealer. I can't place Hannah (he was in The Mummy movies, though I don't remember him). As for Adler, I hope that, like the Canon character, she's an American. If she's from New Jersey, again like the Canon character, then that could suggest a reason for Holmes' decision to come to New York, so that he can experience the world that she knew before her murder.

Bloomington, IL -- "The picture on the cover, that's Broadway in Baltimore, maybe back around the time I started playing in the clubs," Del McCoury says with a smile. Then he adds, just before breaking into his signature, eyebrow-wiggling laugh, "Back then, you could get anything you needed down there—and a lot of things you didn't need, too!"
It's a long way from his apprenticeship in those Baltimore honky tonks in the late 1950s to his stature as the ultimate bluegrass ambassador today, but Del McCoury's negotiated the path with enough perseverance, humility, good humor, adventurousness—not to mention talent and enthusiasm—to last a lifetime. Along the way, he's earned not just the applause, but the passionate devotion of fans ranging from old-timers who remember those early days to country aficionados drawn in by his collaborations with Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels and Vince Gill to tie-dye-clad youngsters who've just learned about him from hearing artists like Phish and the Yonder Mountain String Band rave about—and perform—his music.
And lest you think that the open-mindedness that's led McCoury into so many surprising collaborations and contexts comes from the younger generation, heed the words of Ronnie McCoury, who says of The Streets of Baltimore, "That one's all Dad's!" And indeed, with sons Ronnie and Rob and their Del McCoury Band colleagues Jason Carter and Alan Bartram spending more time touring as The Travelin' McCourys, the job of choosing songs for the album fell squarely on Del's shoulders—and judging by the results, it's clear that Del McCoury's as creatively inspired as ever.
Where the Del McCoury Band's last two projects—2012's tribute to Bill Monroe (Old Memories) and 2011's collaboration with the Preservation Hall Band, American Legacies —were built around themes, The Streets of Baltimore shows McCoury and his award-winning band at their most relaxed and free-form. "I just put together a group of songs that I liked," says Del. "And then we got into the studio and tried to make them sound good!"
Still, it's not hard to see how the new album is shaped by the musical memories acquired and lessons learned starting back in McCoury's Baltimore days. For one thing, as a reminder of how tightly entwined bluegrass and country music were at the time, there's a healthy dose of songs from the country repertoire, including the title track (a 1966 country hit for Bobby Bare), "Too Many Rivers" (a crossover hit for Brenda Lee in 1965 and recorded by dozens of country singers at the time) and "Once More With Feeling," a massive hit for Jerry Lee Lewis that reminds us that McCoury and his band were called on to perform when "The Killer" was honored in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's American Music Masters series a few years ago. And while pop and jazz fans know "Misty" as an entry in the "Great American Songbook," Del and the boys give an affectionate nod here to country singer and humorist Ray Stevens, whose banjo-driven version of the song scraped the top of the country charts nearly 40 years ago.
But while there's a lot of looking back on The Streets of Baltimore, McCoury turned to some favorite contemporary writers, too, to keep things grounded in the here and now. Long-time song supplier Mike O'Reilly is accounted for with the album's opener, Shawn Camp and friends sent in the timeless waltz, "I Wanna Go Where You Go," occasional co-writer Jerry Salley teamed up with Donna Ulisse for a gripping Civil War story and Verlon Thompson contributed the pensive meditation, "I Need More Time." Del expands the circle, too, giving hit artists and songwriters Larry Cordle and Steve Wariner, along with Country Hall of Famer Bill Anderson, their first McCoury cuts. There's even room for a McCoury original that sports a characteristically generous, upbeat take on a fundamental gospel message.
Yet if McCoury cast a wide net to haul in the songs for this album, the performances are as distinctive, and as tightly focused as ever. Years of constant musical companionship have made the Del McCoury Band among the most renowned ensembles in any kind of music, and every number on the album shows off their unmatched precision and empathy for the material. Meanwhile, Del's magnificent voice soars, whispers, pleads and rings out with just the right feeling for each song, recalling Jerry Lee Lewis's slippery ways on "Once More With Feeling," coloring the opening lines of "Butler Brothers" with foreboding and injecting the slightest tinge of nostalgia in tackling a bluegrass reworking of a doo-wop classic from his youth.
All in all, then, The Streets of Baltimore is a masterful performance—exactly what one would expect from a close-knit, supremely talented group led by a man universally acknowledged as a national treasure. It's a long way from the streets of Baltimore to where Del McCoury's music has taken him these days, but today, just as he was then, Del McCoury is right where he needs—and wants—to be.

Actually I've heard about this news so many times before. Therefore, this is not something alien to me but the thing is, why is this thing still happening till this very day? How many of them are facing bleak future in their very own country?
Try to imagine yourself walking at the roadsides or along the shops/malls here in peninsular and you get to see a number of people stranded and living their life just like a beggar. Even worse, they have no choice than to forage for food; be it the leftovers from restaurants or simply from the dustbins! Mind you, there are not beggars but people who are mainly being cheated by bogus employment agents and also those who became jobless. It is even painful to hear that those people are none other than your own people and in this case I'm talking about the Sabahans. As a Sabahan, it comes to my horror that they are scores of Sabahan youths living like beggars within the confine of the concrete jungle of KL as being highlighted by one of the local newspapers. (Click here for news article)
I really hope the government particularly the Sabah government can step forward and tackle this problem as this is indeed a serious problem involving the people of Sabah.

Yoselyn Ortega, the woman accused of murdering two children she was caring for, woke up in the hospital yesterday and is "talking a little," reports the New York Post. Ortega — who broke a vertebrae in her attempt to commit suicide, has undergone surgery, and is still intubated — lives in Harlem with her 17-year-old son, her sister, and her niece, and though she asked about her family, she did not answer questions about the deaths of Lucia Krim, 6, and brother Leo, 2:
Ortega, 50, has lawyered up and won't answer questions, said one source. She did speak to her doctor and "asked about her family," the source said.
She has not yet been charged; a police official explains: "We wouldn't charge a hospitalized suspect under these circumstances until an interview was conducted after consulting with doctors on the subject's condition."

Resources on Aboriginal Economic Development
"This book demonstrates that an indigenous teachers' group has the potential to transform the culture of schooling. Personal narratives by Yup'ik Eskimo teachers speak directly to issues of equity and school transformation. Their struggles represent the beginning of a slow process by a group of Yup'ik teachers (Ciulistet) and university colleagues to reconcile differences and conflict between the cultures of school and community.

TEHRAN, Sept. 2 (UPI) — Following an announcement of new U.S. sanctions on Iran, an energy official in Tehran said the country is looking to vastly expand its nuclear power capacity.
Ebrahim Karkhaneh, the director of a nuclear energy subcommittee in the Iranian parliament, said Iran is already generating 1,000 megawatts of power from its Bushehr nuclear power facility. Studies are under way to expand that output, in part with the help of Russia, which already supplies nuclear fuel to Bushehr.
"We hope that the country would be able to increase nuclear power generation to 8,000 megawatts," Karkhaneh said Monday.
The U.S. Treasury Department last week unveiled what it said was a diverse new set of sanctions meant to curb Iran's nuclear and missile ambitions.
Iran secured relief from some sanctions last year in exchange for curbing its nuclear research activity, though U.S. Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen said Washington is committed to targeting anyone "involved in expanding Iran's proliferation program."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said he was optimistic about reaching a nuclear agreement with members of the international community, but viewed U.S. policy as "dangerous and unconstructive."

[First published May 16, 2005] Ryan Barnard lest this comment on the Thursday, March 03, 2005 Refract Blog:
So many atrocities, both epic and personal. So much sorrow in the world. Two options: turn a blind eye or work to change things. But all of these atrocities repeat, over and over again in the course of human history, in so many different societies. That suggests that it's not cultural, that it's human nature. Perhaps an aberration of human nature, but biologically wired nonetheless. And so how can one hope to ever make a difference?
So much suffering. So little of it need ever happen.
I really want some encouragement… I feel so hopeless. What can anyone do…?
This feeling gets to me, since I believe the evidence is persuasive — there is more than hope, there is an outright solution. And one that is desirable in itself. This is fostering global democratic freedom. I wrote a blog on this some months ago, " Yes, There is Hope—Great Hope" ( Link here)
Rather than repeat that blog, I will present in figures some of the evidence. All are from my "Statistics of Democide" (link here). The first figure is 17.3 below. Note how the number murdered by governments rises at the high centralized power, high totalitarian end, while it's lowest (virtually zero) at the low power, democratic end (liberal democracies). This already tells us what to do about democide. Diffuse and democratize power.
Figure 1.3 shows the rise and fall of democide with the rise and fall of totalitarian states. There is the slight rise in foreign democide by democracies during World War II (1941-1945), which is a reflection of illegal (Geneva Conventions) Allied urban bombing of German, and later Japanese cities. The others in the plot are authoritarian states, like Italy, Hungary, and China (Chiang Kai-chek).
Figure 17.2 is the best of the lot. It's the result of a factor (component) analysis of various measures of politics and democide for over 200 nations. The result shows that political power and totalitarianism are aligned with each other and both almost completely with the total genocide, domestic democide, and democide rate (annual per capita). Democracy, however, is completely opposed. It is as though democide forms a tight cone of behavior, and down the center of that behavior, a causal force acting on it is totalitarianism, while democracy is a driving against it.
The easiest to understand figure and by virtue of that, maybe the most powerful is 17.5 below. This is a plot of domestic democide logged against the range of power, where the size of the point in the plot represents the amount of democide. Domestic democide is plainly a logarithmic function of power. That is, as power increases, domestic democide just does not increase additively, but by magnitudes – by a factor of ten.
There is much more I could present, such as what happens when many other variables are held constant. But for my purpose here, which it to prove the existence of an antidote to democide, these figures should serve.

" Can institutions resolve ethnic conflict?" (February 2000) By William Easterly, World Bank
High quality institutions, such as rule of law, bureaucratic quality, freedom from government expropriation, and freedom from government repudiation of contracts, mitigate the adverse economic consequences of ethnic fractionalization identified by Easterly and Levine 1997 and others. In countries with sufficiently good institutions, ethnic diversity does not lower growth or worsen economic policies. High quality institutions also lessen war casualties on national territory and lessen the probability of genocide for a given amount of ethnic fractionalization.
Translation of World Bankanese: Among countries with ethnic divisions, the liberal democracies among them are least likely to commit genocide.

A name you should know
I had said last week that I'd try and highlight a minor league performance each day so that fans can get more info on our prospects. You might have heard of this guy:
Eric Gagne, SV, 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 K, 17 pitches, 11 strikes (Triple-A Las Vegas)
Welcome back to the Jungle, writes Bill Plaschke of the L.A. Times, who spent Memorial Day at Cashman Field in Las Vegas with the Dodger closer.
Though he has not been activated yet, all signs are pointing to Eric being back at the start of the homestand on Thursday and appearing in his first big league game since June 12 of last year when he saved a game against the Twins despite having a sprained ligament in his right elbow.
The incredible thing? It was actually his 18th consecutive save converted, a streak he retains entering this season. Over the past four seasons, his ERA is 1.83, the best among all Major Leaguers with 200 or more innings…not too shabby.
And, if you can't wait until Thursday to watch Gagne play, tune into the Golf Channel tonight to see him, Derek Lowe, Brett Tomko and Kenny Lofton take part in the Big Break All-Star Challenge, which was filmed back in Spring Training. Not only will it give you a glimpse at the four guys off the field, but each also earned money for charity – The Dodgers Dream Foundation (Lowe), Mattel Children's Hospital (Gagne), Alzheimer's Association (Lofton) and the Florida Southern Baseball Program (Tomko).

Is Penny going to see some DL time? If he can't pitch past the 5th inning because of pain, he's not much help to the team. The team needs Penny to pitch if they are going to think about the post-season. We can't expect Tomko and Sele to carry us. Maybe 15 days of rest wouldn't hurt. There are bigger fish to fry than tomorrow's.
Welcome back Gagne and Go Dodgers !!!
Keep the phone line to Las Vegas open, looks like Penny may need a rest !! It would be interesting / fun to see Billingsly !!
A couple of questions:
1) What's the lineup today? I hear no Kemp.
2) Does Gagne still have to serve his suspension, or did he serve it at the beginning of the year?
I believe Gagne was activated today, will serve his 2 game suspension and is eligible to play Thursday.
they've been kinda laging (sp?)it with the line ups for the past week or so. Maybe there really beasy or something.
Go Dodgers!
"I believe Gagne was activated today, will serve his 2 game suspension and is eligible to play Thursday."
Gagne already served his suspension prior to going on the D.L.
I say give Penny 15 days to cool off(and 4 us to shop him), and we bring up the kid. Seen him pitch recently and he's gonna be a real stud for us IMO. And what about Odalis, we need to do something with him one way or another. It's an expensive problem, we're paying him like a #1.
How about a true name you should know like South Atlantic League player of the week Andrew Locke. .517 with 2 HR and 10 RBI last week for Columbus
How about Tony Abreu.

Lizzie Armitstead has delivered a double boost for the organisers of next month's DM Keith Otley Cycle Races by agreeing to race against both the women and the men.
The current women's World Cup leader will ride in both the Pinsent Mason Otley Women's Grand Prix and less than an hour later after finishing she will contest the Chevin Cycles Men's Classic race where one of the entrants is her brother Nick.
The news will delight her home-town fans who are expected to line the streets in record numbers on Wednesday, July 2 – just three days before the Tour de France starts in Leeds.
Armitstead, 25, who was named last week in England's team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow where she will contest the track endurance and women's road race, will be joined at Otley by a glittering field for the women's race.
Double Olympic champion Laura Trott, who was prevented from competing in the inaugural ladies race at Otley last year through illness, will be a big attraction.
So too will be Dame Sarah Storey who has won paralympic gold medals at both swimming and cycling. She was the first cycling paralympian to compete against able bodied cyclists at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi,
Storey has won 11 paralympic gold medals – six for swimming and five for cycling – and her total of 11 golds is a British record which she shares with Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson and Dave Roberts.
Last year's winner Elinor Barker will be back to defend her crown in what promises to be a cracking race.
Race director Giles Pidcock said: "We are absolutely delighted with the quality of the women's race and it is great for us that Lizzie Armitstead is going to ride in two races.
"The rules won't allow her to race against the elite men so she will race against the amateurs as she has done in the past. I am sure the people of Otley will be delighted to see her racing."
The men's Property development Grand Prix has the added attraction of a £1,000 first prize as a nod to the Grand Depart taking place three days later.
A highly-competitive race seems assured once again and the line up includes Olympic team pursuit gold medal winner Ed Clancy, National Road Race champion Russell Downing, riding star Adam Yates and Keighley starlet Tom Moses who has been selected for England's Commonwealth Games Road race squad.

It's been a while since I've posted an update about our work on the Mozilla Open Badge Infrastructure: we have had our heads down working on making it the best possible system for a while. Here's some insight into what we've accomplished thus far and where we're heading in 2012.
First of all, a thank you to those who have not only expressed interest in our efforts but have worked to help us find ways to make it better. We've been lucky enough to have some of you work directly with us; we look forward to having even more of you do so in the future. Your enthusiasm and commitment feeds our work.
Second of all, a hearty thank you to everyone who has started imagining the rewarding possibilities of a future with Open Badges in it. The MacArthur Foundation's 4th Digital Media and Learning Competition, Badges for Lifelong Learning, has provided us with the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of folks. Through it we've discovered nascent badge systems, well-developed badge systems, strategic assessment platforms, deep interest in alternative learning environments, and a variety of long-range goals. Perhaps most importantly, the DML competition has helped to enliven the conversation about alternative assessment and recognition of learning. We are tremendously excited about the three different competitions (Research, Badges, and Teacher Mastery), two of which (Badges and Teacher Mastery) will culminate at the DML conference in the beginning of March. You can see all the winners at the Mozilla Science Fair.
Undertaking something as significant as proposing and building an Open Badge infrastructure—with all of its attendant direct and indirect meanings—continues to prove to be a humbling and rewarding experience. As the Open Badges team engages the public to work with us to test this hypothesis, we're learning a huge variety of things. Some of these things seem obvious in retrospect, and some seem surprisingly hidden, but this is the learning process, and we're committed to it. As the Open Badges website states, we're interested in capturing learning that happens anywhere at any time.
Consequently, we aim to keep on learning, modifying, adjusting, and recalculating as we go. We're listening to your comments and we're excited by your enthusiasms. We're doing this to reimagine what learning can be. What's nice about the entire experience is that we are stepping through the same process that others will experience themselves. The past few months have been revelatory: we've made new alliances, we've discovered possibilities for extensions of our work, and we've found eager audiences. As we continue to move forward, we run towards, stumble upon, back into, and greet with open arms new opportunities, like improving ease of use for the backpack or reconsidering our website (a full-on redesign is underway).
If you've been wondering what else is in store for 2012, please take a look at our newly modified roadmap. The first quarter of this year will see us posting Issuer APIs, Displayer APIs, and a rough cut of an Endorsement API. Looking at the immediate future, members of the team are about to kick off a week-long development sprint in New York City, speak at the Connexions conference in Houston, attend the DML conference in San Francisco, and then attend SxSW Edu in Austin. In addition, we'll be conducting a webinar for Open Education Week on March 6th (more details to follow). We hope to see you at these events. And if there are other events you think we should know about, please drop us a note.
Two Three last things worth noting:
1) We now have an Open Badges community call every Wednesday at 9:00am PST (-08 UTC). You can learn more about that call, including the local and international dial-in numbers here: https://openbadges.etherpad.mozilla.org/openbadges-community.
2) If you are not already a member of the Open Badges conversation area/google group/mailing list, please join: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openbadges. There you'll find a rich history of software questions, notices of documentation efforts, philosophical considerations, and references to github repositories.
3) You can find us on Twitter here: @OpenBadges

(Reuters) - American International Group Inc (AIG.N) earned a larger-than-expected profit during the third quarter, due in part to big gains on its investment holdings.
Questions about the sustainability of those profits, and uncertainty about the timing and structure of the U.S. Treasury Department selling its remaining 16 percent stake in the insurance giant, contributed to a drop in AIG shares in after-hours trading, analysts said.
"One of the biggest questions that people ask is the timing of the next offering of the U.S. government and whether AIG will participate in that offering," said Paul Newsome, an analyst who covers the firm for Sandler O'Neill Partners.
AIG had received $182.5 billion in bailout money from U.S. taxpayers at the height of the financial crisis, and has been working to repay the government for the past few years.
The remaining stake pertains to AIG shares the Treasury Department owns in exchange for capital it infused. Last quarter, the Treasury Department sold $26.5 billion worth of AIG shares, including approximately $8 billion purchased by AIG.
The government still holds 234.2 million common shares. The timing of future sales, and whether AIG will repurchase stock, is unclear.
AIG reported an overall profit of $1.9 billion, or $1.13 per share, for the period, compared with a loss of nearly $3 billion, or $2.10 per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Analysts had expected AIG to earn 86 cents per share, on average, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Because competitors like Travelers Cos Inc (TRV.N) reported even stronger third-quarter results, it may have set investors' expectations even higher for AIG than what analyst figures suggest, Newsome said.
AIG shares fell 2 percent after it reported results. The stock had closed at $35.20 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Combined net investment income from AIG's property-casualty and life and retirement divisions rose 15 percent, contributing $505 million to earnings. AIG's sale of certain securities, including a stake in former subsidiary AIA Group Ltd (1299.HK), as well as higher values of bond holdings, contributed to those profits.
In AIG's property-casualty division, net premium earnings fell 3.2 percent during the quarter. Pricing improved, but AIG has been limiting risk-taking in the business, the company said.
In its life and retirement division, premiums declined 2.7 percent. Policy fees climbed 5 percent, but low interest rates and costs related to a regulatory probe into death benefits claims also weighed on that business.
AIG's other business, aircraft leasing, also reported a small operating profit, compared with a large loss a year ago. Chief Executive Robert Benmosche, in an interview with CNBC, said he was still waiting for markets to improve before trying to take that business, ILFC Holdings, public.
It was too early for AIG to provide an estimate of how Hurricane Sandy will affect the insurance company's future results, Benmosche said in a statement. AIG's headquarters in Lower Manhattan was affected by the storm, and remains closed because of a power outage.

If you have been reading this blog for a while you know I have a thing for breakfast. Some of my very favorite baked good are for breakfast, including coffeecake. Over the summer we had several house guests and there is nothing like offering a fresh baked homemade treat in the morning with a cup of coffee.
This blueberry coconut coffeecake was a huge hit and one I'll definitely make again, especially for guests. This recipe makes two coffeecakes (8 servings each) although I dare anyone to have a single piece!
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
In large bowl stir flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or fork until nice and crumbly.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
To give more options to our guests who perhaps didn't like coconut, I made one of the coffeecakes with a cinnamon and sugar topping instead of coconut. It was good but missing what makes this coffeecake absolutely spectacular and that is the flavor and crunch of the coconut topping. The coconut version was gone long before the cinnamon and sugar!
Hmm….yummy. I'm craving a piece right now as I write this. Too bad I'm out of blueberries or I'd surprise my family tomorrow morning!
This recipe is from allrecipes.com, courtesy of Taste of Home.

World Trade Organization
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a large international organization to regulate trade that was established in 1995. As of 15 December, 2005, there were 153 member countries. In the WTO, agreements are made on trade between countries. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) means that countries have to lower barriers to international trade, such as tariff on goods crossing borders. This lets businesses operate in many different countries.
Member countries sign agreements
There are about 30 such agreements. Based on these agreements, the member countries trade with each other. They sell items to each other and follow a set of rules. They have to give a special job to the other country. The phrase used (for such and many alike items) is to give the other country a special job – this is known as to give the other country a most favored country job. From 2004, if a member sells any item to another member country, the same type of item should be offered to all other member countries.
While it is highly regarded, from its beginning the WTO has also received criticism.

Take the quiz (be honest) and find out where you stand. Your ranking isn't official, but it will give you a general idea of where you are in the recruiting process and a chance to improve your status.
How many letters, camp brochures, and questionnaires have you received from schools?
How many college coaches have contacted your high school or club coach/director to inquire about you?
What is the total number of college coaches that have come to watch you play in person at tournaments/games/camps?
Approximately how many emails have you received from coaches and schools?
How many phone calls have you received from college coaches?
How many highlight video requests have you received from college coaches?
How many official visit invites have you received?
How many offers have you received?
Your Results:
All-American Recruit
All-Conference Recruit
JV Recruit
Rookie Recruit
Based on your quiz results, you are currently not on college coaches' recruiting lists.
It's time for you to be proactive and reach out to college coaches. An honest third party evaluation lets you know which schools might be a good fit for you both athletically and academically, and what level you're suited for. Don't waste your time reaching out to schools that you don't qualify for. After your recruiting evaluation, you can begin sending coaches your athletic/academic resume, and most importantly, your highlight video.
The recruiting process isn't the same as it was 20 years ago. It's more competitive, and it can start as early as the seventh grade. Many student-athletes are being offered scholarships before their sophomore year.
Congratulations! You are no longer only a prospect; you are now a recruited student-athlete. But there's a lot more work to do.
As a lightly recruited student-athlete, you've had some exposure to coaches, but it might not be enough. You need to keep being proactive in the recruiting process. An honest third party evaluation lets you know which schools might be a good fit for you both athletically and academically, and what level you're suited for.
The next step is to track the coaches who are reaching out to you, and send them your athletic/academic resume. It's also important to send your information to coaches who haven't contacted you yet, and try to get on their recruiting list. The more programs recruiting you, the more leverage you have when it's time to negotiate an athletic scholarship.
Congratulations on being a recruited student-athlete! You're on the radar of a few college coaches, which is great. But realize that there are over 1,800 colleges and universities around the country that offer aid for student-athletes. Finding the right school for you can be more difficult than you think. Even though you're already on a few recruiting lists, you need to be on more.
Keep pushing. Don't get comfortable with your recruiting situation until you sign your National Letter of Intent. You should reach out to 20% of the programs that offer your sport, which could mean contacting up to 200 coaches. Continue to send your highlight video and athletic/academic resume to programs that are the right athletic and academic fit based on the results of your scouting evaluation. Take plenty of unofficial visits and call coaches on a regular basis.
Keep in mind that only 2% of athletes receive an NCAA Division I full scholarship. The more offers you have to choose from on signing day, the better chance you have at finding the right school.
Congratulations, you're a highly recruited student-athlete! You're in the final stages of the recruiting process, and likely on your way to a college athletic career.
The biggest sign of serious recruitment is a verbal offer made by a college coach. Nothing is guaranteed until everything is in writing, but an offer is a strong indicator that the coach is serious about wanting you on their roster.
Remember that the majority of scholarships aren't full rides, but keep in mind that the more offers you have, the better your chances of getting the financial help that you want. Student-athletes can use multiple offers as leverage when negotiating scholarships at the schools they want to attend the most. Don't get tunnel vision. There are over 1,800 schools around the country that offer aid for athletes.
It's essential to remember that college is not just a four-year decision, but a 40-year decision. Choosing the right school affects you for the rest of your life. Make sure you pick a college that's the best fit athletically and academically.

I looked down at his small body, thinking that this time, I would make a difference.
He was breathing 2 minutes ago.
He was at school earlier that same day.
Maybe its just respiratory arrest?
He had a pulse as we moved him from the front room where I found him lying on the settee, looking nothing like a young boy sleeping, but instead like a much younger version of the hundreds of patients that have either died in my presence or have been dead before I even had a chance to help them.
I placed him onto the stretcher, carrying him out of the house in my arms rather than placing him on a carry chair.
He was small for a teenager.
"Does he normally have any medical problems Mum?"
My partner puts the leads on his body whilst I give him a couple of breaths.
"Good rhythm!!"
"Does he have an output with that??"
We both check………
Mum is standing at the back door of the ambulance, a look of blissful ignorance on her face, certain that we will help her son.
I look down at him, then I turn my head to the side and quickly glance at mum.
Silently, I curse to myself
As I start compressions I try harder than I have ever tried before to block out the sounds of his mother screaming at the back door of the ambulance, and I know that in that one moment, I will never, ever forget that sound.

At 30ish people and bomber-sized bottles (for the most part), that meant a roughly one ounce pour each. That worked out pretty well, I thought, though a crowd any larger would probably mean not enough beer to go around. I wouldn't be surprised if veterans of these events already thought the crowd was too large - I'd be interested to hear what those of you who attended and are reading thought. And while we're at it, what were your favorites? Any surprises? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Lastly, I'd like to thank Mike Sprinkle for doing a fantastic job of guiding us through, our event hosts, and everyone else who attended for their great company. What an event!
