The Spaniard sidefooted Florent Malouda's low shot past Shay Given after being introduced just before the hour mark to add to Josh McEachran's early opener on Saturday.
Boss Andre Villas-Boas once again shuffled his line-up with Nicolas Anelka starting up front, meaning Didier Drogba and Torres had to settle for a place on the bench.
With the game barely under way, Chelsea took the lead. Given did brilliantly to deny both Anelka and Malouda but McEachran was on hand to pounce from close range.
A slick Chelsea move 10 minutes before the interval then ended with McEachran sliding the ball through to Anelka but his low shot was held by Given.
Stiliyan Petrov's volley skidded wide six minutes into the second period after the ball fell to the skipper following a corner before Fabian Delph hacked John Terry's towering header from a corner off the line.
Chelsea should have doubled their lead immediately afterwards when Malouda's cross picked out an unmarked Frank Lampard in the six-yard box but his downward header was straight at Given and Daniel Sturridge then blazed the rebound over.
Villas-Boas then introduced both Torres and Drogba with almost an hour gone and the Spaniard netted Chelsea's second within seconds of coming on when he diverted Malouda's low strike past the diving Given.
Patrick van Aanholt then fizzed a drive just beyond Given's far post and the Irishman denied Torres with his legs after the striker had breezed past Richard Dunne.
Darren Bent wasted a good opportunity with 11 minutes left when he latched onto a flick-on and raced clear but fired over the crossbar and Emile Heskey shot narrowly wide as Villa failed to breach the Chelsea rearguard.

Survey: Teens Say They Are Using Facebook More
Not long ago, the conventional wisdom about Facebook was that the youngest users were using it less. A survey due to be released Tuesday suggests the opposite.
Forrester Research asked 4,517 teenagers about their social media use, and Facebook came out ahead–by a lot.Nearly half of the respondents, who were all between the agest of 12 and 17, said they were using Facebook more than they were a year ago, the firm said.

Twitter is no Facebook, at least according to Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.
The San Francisco-based social-networking site that allows use to send message up to 140 characters is being looked at as one of the next big tech startups that could go public.
Twitter co-founder and chairman Jack Dorsey has gone on record saying the company is in no hurry to go public.
And after seeing Facebook trading losses in the hundreds of millions, Twitter's path to an IPO might take a slight detour.
Costolo said at a conference hosted by The Economist Group in San Francisco even when his company goes public, it's fate could be quite different than Facebook.
First Twitter's 2012 revenue is estimated to be somewhere in the $260 million range, while Faceboook reported $3.7 billion in revenue last year.
Costolo also told the audience that Twitter is already doing well at the one thing Facebook listed as a weakness in its S1 filing.
"We're borne of mobile," Costolo said when explaining the difference between his company and Facebook. "We have an ad platform that already is inherently suited to mobile, even though we launched our platform on the Web and only started running ads on mobile recently."
He added that often last quarter Twitter generates more advertising revenue on mobile platforms than its website.
The company is also a lot smaller than Facebook. Twitter has about 140 million monthly active users while Facebook has more than 900 million registered users.
Twitter Sees Its Mobile Revenue Grow
Growth is just one difference between SF-startup and Facebook.
Twitter is no Facebook, at least according to Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

When Thomas Schmitz, the O4P California Coordinator and US for Palin writer learned I was going to Paris to celebrate my 15th Wedding Anniversary, he asked that I take an O4P Palm card with me and photograph myself holding it to build a dossier of Sarah images in foreign countries. It would only take a few minutes. I enthusiastically agreed. Over these past three years, I've learned that many things with Gov. Palin are not coincidental. They are Providential.
As I printed out my Eiffel Tower ticket prior to the trip, the location for the shoot jumped out at me. On the ticket in all capital letters, was the word "SOMMET." It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it is French for "Summit". Some colleagues have complained that I have a tendency to put former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on a pedestal. Now, I was going to symbolically put her at the Summit of the tallest man-made pedestal in Europe. Putting Sarah on a pedestal? I proudly say: Guilty as charged!
After our ascent and with a flute of Eiffel Tower champagne in each of us, I begged my wife's pardon and secured it. I had to pick the place to do the shoot. I took a few shots to the west, but they came out poorly. Then, I went to the Northwest. Let's call it 340 on the compass, as I like to say when I'm in New York. Then, I noticed something my wife and I had just descended from the summit of just about an hour prior: the Arc de Triomphe…Providential. Summit. Triumph. Palin.
…Just prior to my trip to Newark Airport, I informed my writers about the failure of at least two GOP candidates to gather enough signatures to qualify to appear on the ballots of the Virginia primary. From Paris, I would learn that all the candidates save for Mitt Romney and Ron Paul failed to qualify. I'll leave it to the readers to decide whether this circumstance is a result of GOP establishment chicanery to benefit Romney, gross incompetence on the part of the campaigns that failed to make the Virginia ballot, or something else. Whatever the root cause, the outcome is an absolute and unmitigated disgrace. I noted with some interest how the mainstream and conservative media seemed to fluff over this rather significant story, indicating a desire to quickly bury it. Of course, if Gov. Palin were a candidate and this circumstance befell her, we would have been treated to a deluge of articles all the way through and past Election Day on how she was "un-electable." She would have been the lightning rod and all the other candidates would have gotten a free pass.
Now, nearly three months later, we can see the genius behind Gov. Palin's decision. You see, all these candidates have been and continue to be vetted before the electorate, something which would not have happened if she were currently on the ticket. The clock is doing its work with every second that ticks by. Passage of time is proving that Gov. Palin's decision does not change the simple fact that she is the best person and most qualified for the job of POTUS. She has the accomplishments; the leadership skills; the executive, command, and financial administration experience; she took on corruption in both parties in every position she held. Yes as a man, I say it's time for a woman to take the helm – and not just any woman, but a woman who is both ordinary and extraordinary.
This is why I find it absolutely ridiculous that anyone speaks of giving Gov. Palin a second-fiddle position such as Vice President or a cabinet position. Gov. Palin is a Transformational Leader – the type who is brought in to fix broken organizations. Her place is not second. It's first. She is to be the dominant one in any relationship. That's why she is called a leader. Period.
Compared to Gov. Palin, the field of declared candidates is Lés Miserables. When your accomplishments are of the size, scale, scope, and frequency of Gov. Palin's, yes you probably are a superhero minus the silly cape. Hero worship? Guilty as charged and proud of it.
Gov. Palin's only proper place is at Au Sommet and her only proper outcome is Triomphe. Failure is not an option. One of the many things I admire about Gov. Palin: she does something right or she does not do it all. Reaching Au Sommet could mean she ultimately runs for POTUS in this cycle of back-loaded primaries. It could mean continuing what she is doing as a private citizen rooting out crony capitalism and endorsing down-tickets ala 2010. It could mean both. It could mean something else. How Gov. Palin reaches Au Sommet does not matter to me – as long as she reaches it – and Triumphs.
As we bid au revoir to 2011, here is the 2011 Master List of Governor Palin's Accomplishments.
The 2012 Master List of Governor Palin's Accomplishments is now open.
Gov. Palin:
Grimper au sommet!
Climb to the Summit!

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
When Martina McBride was in Chicago to close out her Joy of Christmas tour, we caught up on her bus before the show. While she reflected on everything she loved about 2012, she told me she is very ready for what the new year will bring.
Specifically, George Strait. McBride is joining Strait for his Cowboy Rides Away tour, which kicks off on Jan. 18 in Texas.
"What I look forward to the most when I tour with George is just watching his show every night. It's such a treat for me," she said. "I do my show, then chill on my bus for a little bit, then I go back out and watch."
She said Strait has an open door policy and always makes it feel like they are one big family out on the road. And they share so many of the same fans.
"There's just a history there. I think my fans and his fans have really kind of grown up with us," McBride told me. "Hell, I grew up with George Strait."

It's Best to Look Away
We're torn between the temptation to walk away from last night's ugly 12-2 loss and call it "just one of those games", or conversely, to pick through the wreckage and make a big deal out of everything. Being the notorious fence-sitting people-pleaser that we are, we'll probably do a bit of both.
Come along as we tread lightly.
OMG! What's Wrong With Morrow?: Slow your roll, there, Hoss. It was one bad outing against a team that's got a pretty decent lineup. And shall we remind you that Morrow had two starts to begin the season that were really quite good? Morrow looked as though he was having trouble getting the ball to do what he wanted, and his delivery was askew. Tack on a strikezone that was erratic at best and it adds up to a lousy outing that isn't necessarily indicative of anything. At least, not yet.
The Dubious Benefits of an Eight-Man Pen: We're still trying to figure out why the Jays need as many pitchers on their active roster as they carry, especially given the fact that such a scenario results in Carlos Villanueva playing the role of Jamie Vermilyea, rotting away for 10 days between appearances. Los Del V looked as though he was only vaguely familiar with the concept of pitching last night, and had no feel for getting his breaking ball over the plate and out of the dirt. But what could you expect?
And now we're seriously supposed to be intrigued by the notion that the Jays are going to bring another arm up any day now to pitch on Saturday? What happens to Jesse Chavez - and make no mistake, it will be Chavez - after he's done the one start? Does he park his butt in the bullpen and stare off into the stars, waiting weeks for his next opportunity to get the ball? Maybe he and Villanueva can play catch and reminisce about the good old days when they were big league ball players.
And in case you're interested, Darren Oliver is currently on five days of rest, Casey Janssen has had four days and Evan Crawford has had three days to ponder his 13-pitch outing.
It's probably true that the Jays don't have a whole slew of hitters who are banging down the door to come and get at bats in the big leagues. What are they going to do with a useful roster spot: Plug Mike McCoy into it? Bring up Travis Snider to let him sit on the bench and clean up around JPA and Lawrie's bachelor pad?
Let's Change the Subject: Last week's Tweet Bag brought us a number of great questions that were good enough to merit a more thoughtful answer, but that we didn't have the time to ponder in the moment. One of those @danemcburnie, who asked: If you had to pick someone to have a repeat of their best year, who would be the best choice: Rasmus, Johnson or Lind?
We were going to toss this off quickly and likely make some allusion to our Colby fixation, but the more that we considered this question, the more that we became entangled in it.
If you choose Johnson to repeat his 5.9 WAR season of 2010 (26 homers, .865 OPS), do you not also have to admit that such a season inevitably ends up with him playing elsewhere? Either by the trade deadline or in free agency? And is that such a bad thing? It could be that he'd become a very tempting asset this season, and might bring back several decent prospects in return if this is his level of competence.
Or would you choose Lind to repeat his Silver Slugger season of 2009 (.932 OPS, 35 homers, 35.7 weighted runs above average)? That sort of production in the middle of the Jays order might be the biggest contributor to the team's offensive success this season. Wouldn't this be the best bang for our buck? Aren't those the sort of numbers that you'd expect from your first baseman?
Or would we want to see the all-around performance of Colby Rasmus at his 2010 levels, when he posted a 4.3 WAR (.361 OBP, .498 SLG, 23 homers and 12 steals)? For a player at a premium position who is young and still has some projectibility, this would be a great output for this season, and would augur well for the future, wouldn't it? Also, wouldn't it just be nice to see Colby have that sort of year to hush some of his critics?
We could make the argument for any of the three. We think that the most beneficial to the Jays' chances of winning now would be Lind, while the most beneficial for the long term might be Johnson, and the season we'd most enjoy watching would be a great year for Rasmus.
If we remove our own fandom out of the equation, the answer probably comes down to Johnson versus Lind. We'd lean towards Lind, if only because the notion that Johnson might be racking up some of those numbers in another team's uniform seems a bit less appetizing to us.

re: last night's game (12-2 loss to Tampa Bay).
Agree; it's best just to chalk it up to one of those nights. Nothing went particularly well.
Morrow allowed three gopher balls.
The team went 1-6 with RISP, and left 11 men on.
The ninth inning was a slow-burn meltdown (HBP, error, bases-loaded walk)
It's a 162 game season, and these games are just out there, to be survived just like the potholes your car will invariably hit during winter driving.

First of all, that Sportsnet special on JPA, Lawrie, and house mom Snider was hilarious.
Secondly, Drew Hutchison is slated to pitch Saturday. Why were you so sure it was Chavez?

"On June 6th, you and yours are cordially invited to the very big, very bold "Feminist Read-In" at Queen's Park in Toronto. Be there at 11 a.m. and head out whenever the music stops or the sun goes down.
What's a Read-In you ask? Imagine your typical sit-in, but without the force-feeding and free love. Supporters of the project from everywhere and anywhere are invited to join us on the front lawn of Queen's Park to demonstrate for change and to show the government what we want to see in education – feminist and queer-positive literature, and women's histories.
Bring your books, your blankies, your friends and family. We want hundreds – nay, thousands there! The day will be complete with solidarity-enhancing entertainment to dazzle the eye and warm the heart, including musical performances (more details on that to come), poetry readings (such as from most fabulous up-and-comer Tanis Rideout), and book readings by some of the women authors who matter to us. It will be the fabulous, feminist, education-focused, all-ages, geek-chic, refined but riotous, irreverent-to-the-bone Woodstock of our times."

Ke$ha went from wallflower on "The Simple Life" to worldwide pop sensation.
The 22-year-old pop star appeared soft-spoken and camera shy on the hit reality TV show "The Simple Life" hosted by Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie during an early brush with fame.
"That was my mum's idea," she told PopEater last week. "She just decided to call [the show's producers] because she's attracted to interesting, different experiences. They chose us because we're the most eccentric family in Nashville."
U.S. & World
The singer said she wasn't impressed by her time spent with the celebutants.
"We were hanging out at their house a little bit," she told PopEater. "It was with some guy. It's all for TV, whatever. I went out two nights later to a gay bar and saw him dancing around topless with another man. That's reality television for you."
Ke$ha said she worked with Hilton again when she moved to Los Angles -- but things didn't go over so well.
"I ended up kicking it with her for a minute," she said. "To be frank, I went to her house party and didn't talk to anybody and ended up dancing around by myself. Then I got kicked out for being a bit too rowdy. I'm just not a swanky b----. I'm the antithesis of her."

Amnesty given to rebels who took part in a brutal guerrilla war in northern Uganda has derailed attempts to bring other fighters to justice, rights campaigner says
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – An amnesty given to rebels who took part in a brutal guerrilla war in northern Uganda is a betrayal of their victims and has derailed attempts to bring other fighters to justice, a rights campaigner said on Wednesday.
"The issue of amnesty in Uganda is stifling the ability of the domestic war crimes court to prosecute," Brigid Inger, executive director of the Women's Initiatives for Gender Justice, told a global summit in London on tackling sexual violence in conflict.
Thousands of former fighters have been pardoned under Uganda's Amnesty Act, which was designed to bring an end to the war which raged for two decades. The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), led by warlord Joseph Kony, committed widespread atrocities against civilians including horrendous sexual violence. Thousands of children were abducted and used as soldiers and sex slaves.
Inger said it was very hard for survivors because those responsible for serious crimes were not required to provide any confession, or information about crimes they had witnessed or were involved in. They were also not required to provide an apology to victims prior to receiving a full and unconditional pardon.
"This is making the job of the prosecutor at the (domestic) war crimes court impossible and has already stifled at least one case and others are also being held up because of the issue at the amnesty act," she added.
The example of Uganda shows the problems caused when unconditional pardons are introduced during peace efforts, Inger said.
She told an earlier summit session that while the amnesty was appropriate for fighters who had been abducted and forced to join the LRA, "there's a sense of disappointment and bitterness" in northern Uganda because of the way the amnesty has stymied justice.
"In many respects it's a betrayal of victims … and from our perspective it's bad law," she said.

Impulse shopping may contribute to obesity rates
The candy display near the supermarket checkout line may be contributing to the U.S. overweight and obesity epidemic.
An editorial published on Oct. 11, 2012 in The New England Journal of Medicine suggests that advertising and the location of certain food items may be leading to impromptu purchases of unhealthy foods. For example, candy near the cash register is actually a strategy known as "impulse marketing," which encourages emotion-propelled buying. Items placed in easy to see end-of-aisle locations make up for 30 percent of all supermarket sales, the researchers note.
"The reality is that food choices are often automatic and made without full conscious awareness," the authors wrote. "In many cases, they may even be the opposite of what the person deciding would consciously prefer. What and how much people eat are highly influenced by contextual factors that they may not recognize and therefore cannot easily resist."
About 33.3 percent of adults 20 years and older are overweight and an additional 35.9 percent are obese, according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. An adult who has a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight, while an adult who has a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese. Further, men who have a waist circumference of over 40 inches and women who have a waist circumference of over 35 inches are at a higher risk for type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
The researchers argue as people try to make healthy food choices, they get inundated with unhealthy options, especially when they become distracted, under stress, tired or have made so many other decisions they can't possibly make another good one.
"Once cognitive capacity is depleted, automatic processing that relies on heuristics and other shortcuts dominates, and under these circumstances people are more likely to choose foods high in sugar and fat," the researchers wrote.
They suggest that people should consider product placement a "hidden risk factor" and more should be done to help people make good food choices. Just like people have mandatory rail guards and window guards to prevent them from falling, people should have food "guards" to help stop them from picking up that pint of ice cream or bag of chips, the researchers argue.
"We need to test new approaches to risk reduction that do not place additional cognitive demands on the population, such as limiting the types of foods that can be displayed in prominent end-of-aisle locations and restricting foods associated with chronic diseases to locations that require a deliberate search to find," the authors wrote. "Harnessing marketing research to control obesity could help millions of people who desperately want to reduce their risks of chronic diseases."

Our New Babies
At the u-pick blueberry patch, this one lady fainted and they actually had to call out the volunteer ambulance service. Unless I am just about dead, I NEVER give you permission to call the ambulance for me--Matt once paid something like $2,000 for a ten-minute ambulance ride across town to go get his forehead stitched up after he fainted and whacked his head on a table one time. And they didn't even run the siren for him.
We only ended up with about five pounds of blueberries this time (it only seems like a trifle when compared to the 13+ pounds of berries we left with last week), but the girls did leave the berry patch with a few other very precious things in tow:Tadpoles! Or, as Sydney refers to them, our new baby froggies. Notice their state-of-the-art habitat, please. Also notice that we'll be eating solely out of the pantry and freezer this coming week (thank goodness it's stocked with blueberries!), since I walked into the pet store thinking I'd need a little glass bowl and some fish food, and walked out with a 2.5 gallon aquarium, a set of four aquatic plants, two different colors of aquarium gravel (I have two little girls, you know), and a package of actual tadpole food. Seriously, there are tadpoles right on the front of the package.
So the babies are swimming in style right now, with their $26.14 worth of merchandise and their chlorine-free creek water from the creek a couple of blocks over.
But just look at their little faces: Aren't they adorable?

Just thought you might want to know if you live in an area with volunteer ambulance corps. Oftentimes, the volunteer ambulance doesn't charge you at all and the ride is free (if highly variable in quality). This is the case in New York anyway. There may be some local variances though. The Fort Worth EMS system is great but very pricey. I too once paid that 2000 dollar bill...

i never got to tell you that cosmo and i took some tadpoles home too, that first time, when we saw you guys. we did just put ours in a bowl, with their puddle water, and have only added rain water (i have seen what our tap water can do to gold fish from the county fair!).
we have not fed them much, they didn't seem interested in the fish food, but we do take them outside, in hopes of them feasting on some mosquito larvae. also, i have heard that they have a yoke sac to feed off of, until they turn into frogs. that would explain why our last batch of tadpoles actually survived into froggy-hood. well, a few of them did, anyway.
but, just in case, can we borrow some tadpole food?

Come on over! We have enough tadpole food for tadpoles aplenty!
Matt tells this great story about how he had tadpoles as a kid. And he was all, "We didn't have to feed them," and then he was all, "But they escaped one day so we never saw them turn into frogs."
Escaped? To, perhaps, the "farm?"

Remarks of President Barack Obama -- As Prepared for Delivery Innovation and Sustainable Growth Troy, New York September 21, 2009 Thank you, Jill. Dr. Jill Biden has been a teacher for almost three decades and she's spent most of that time in community colleges. She understands, as you do, the power of these institutions to prepare students for 21st century jobs, and to prepare America for a 21st century global economy. That's what's happening right here at Hudson Valley Community College. This is a place where anyone with the desire to take their career to a new level or start a new career altogether has the opportunity to pursue that dream. This is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds - even in the face of obstacles, even in the face of very difficult personal challenges - can take a chance on a brighter future for themselves and their families. I know that here in Troy, you want and need that chance after so many years of hard times. Communities like this one were once the heart of America's manufacturing strength. But over the last few decades, you've borne the brunt of a changing economy which has seen many manufacturing plants close in the face of global competition. So while all of America has been gripped by the current economic crisis, folks in Troy and upstate New York have been dealing with what amounts to a permanent recession for years: an economic downturn that has driven more and more young people from their hometowns. I also know that while many have come here promising better news, that news has been hard to come by, despite the determined efforts of the leaders who are here today and many who are not. Part of the reason is that while the people of this city work hard to meet their responsibilities, some in Washington haven't always lived up to theirs. For too long, as old divisions and special interests reigned, Washington has shown neither the inclination nor the ability to tackle our toughest challenges. Meanwhile, businesses were saddled with ever-rising health care costs and the economy was weakened by an ever-growing dependence on foreign oil; our investments in cutting-edge research declined and our schools fell short; growth focused on short-term gains and fueled by debt and reckless risk led to cycles of precipitous booms and painful busts. Now, after so many years of failing to act, there are those who suggest that nothing government can do will make a difference; that what we've seen in places like Troy is inevitable; that somehow, the parts of our country that helped us lead in the last century don't have what it takes to help us lead in this one. I am here today to tell you that this is just flat out wrong. What we have here is a community filled with talented people, entrepreneurial small businesses, and world-class learning institutions. The ingredients are here for growth and success and a better future. You are proving that in the Hudson Valley. Students here are training full time while working part time at GE Energy in Schenectady, becoming a new generation of American leaders in a new generation of American manufacturing. IBM has partnered with the University at Albany; their partnership in nanotechnology is helping students train in the industries in which America has the potential to lead. Rensselaer is partnering not only with this institution but with businesses throughout the Tech Valley. And early next year, Hudson Valley Community College's state-of-the-art TEC-SMART training facility is set to open side-by-side with Global Foundry's coming state-of-the-art semiconductor plant. So we know that Upstate New York can succeed. And we know that in a global economy - where there is no room for error and there is certainly no room for wasted potential - America needs you to succeed. As we emerge from this economic crisis, our great challenge will be to ensure that we do not simply drift into the future, accepting less for our children and less for America. Instead, we must choose to do what past generations have done: shape a brighter future through hard work and innovation. That's how we'll not only recover, but rebuild stronger than before: strong enough to compete in the global economy; strong enough to avoid the cycles of boom and bust that have wreaked so much havoc; strong enough to create and support the jobs of the future in the industries of the future. Today, my administration is releasing our strategy to foster new jobs, new businesses, and new industries by laying the groundwork and the ground rules to best tap our innovative potential. This work began with the recovery plan, which devoted well over $100 billion to innovation, from high-tech classrooms to health information technology, from more energy-efficient homes to more fuel-efficient cars, from building a smart electricity grid to laying down high-speed rail lines. But it does not end there. For this strategy is about far more than recovery; it is about sustained growth and widely-shared prosperity. And it is rooted in a simple idea, that if government does its modest part, there is no stopping the most powerful and generative economic force the world has ever known: the American people. Our strategy begins where innovation so often does: in the classroom and in the laboratory - and in the networks that connect them to the broader economy. These are the building blocks of innovation: education, infrastructure, and research. We know that the nation that out-educates us today will out-compete us tomorrow. The ability of new industries to thrive depends on workers with the knowledge and know-how to contribute in those fields. Yet, today, our primary and secondary schools continue to trail many of our competitors, especially in key areas like math and science. Hundreds of thousands of high school graduates who are prepared for college do not go to four-year or two-year schools because of the high cost of doing so. And roughly 40 percent of students who start college don't complete college. All along that education pipeline, too many slip through the cracks. It's not only heartbreaking for those students; it's a loss for our economy and our country. Now, I know that for a long time politicians have spoken of training as a silver bullet and college as a cure-all. It's not - and we know that. But we also know that in the coming years, jobs requiring at least an associate's degree are projected to grow twice as fast as jobs requiring no college experience. We will not fill those jobs - or keep those jobs on our shores - without graduating more students, including millions more students from community colleges. That's why I've asked Dr. Biden to travel the country promoting the opportunities that these schools offer. That's why I'm grateful that Senator Chuck Schumer has shown tremendous leadership on this issue. And that is why I've set this ambitious goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. And to reach this goal, we've increased Pell Grants and created a simplified $2,500 tax credit for college tuition. We've made student aid applications less complicated and ensured that that aid is not based on the income of a job you've lost. We've passed a new GI Bill of Rights to help soldiers coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan begin a new life in a new economy. And the recovery plan has helped close state budget shortfalls - which put enormous pressure on public universities and community colleges - while also making historic investments in elementary and secondary schools. Finally, through the American Graduation Initiative I've proposed, we will reform and strengthen community colleges to help an additional five million Americans earn degrees and certificates in the next decade. Because a new generation of innovations depends on a new generation of innovators. And just last week, the House of Representatives passed a bill that will go a long way to reform the student loan system so that college is more affordable for more people. Right now, the federal government provides a subsidy to banks to get them to lend students money. The thing is, the federal government guarantees the loan in case the student doesn't repay. So we subsidize the banks to take on the risk of these loans even though taxpayers just absorb the price of that risk anyway. This costs us more than $80 billion. If we simply cut out the middle-man, and lent directly, the federal government would save that money, and we could use it for what it is actually meant for: helping students afford and succeed in college. That's what the bill I proposed does. It takes the $80 billion dollars the banks currently get, and uses it to make Pell Grants larger. It uses those funds to focus on innovative efforts to help students not only go to college but to graduate. And, just as important, these savings will allow us to make the largest investment ever in the most underappreciated asset of our education system: community colleges like Hudson Valley, which are so essential to the future of young people and our economy. And we hope to improve on this bill in the Senate to go even further on behalf of students. Ending this unwarranted subsidy for the big banks is a no-brainer for folks everywhere. Everywhere except Washington, that is. In fact, we're already seeing the special interests rallying to save this giveaway. The large banks - many who have benefited from taxpayer bailouts during the financial crisis - are lobbying to keep this easy money flowing. This is exactly the kind of special interest effort that has succeeded before and that we cannot allow to succeed again. This is exactly the kind of waste that leaves people wary of government and leaves our country saddled with a trillion dollar deficit with little to show for it. This is exactly what I came to Washington to change. And I look forward to winning this fight in the Senate, as we just have in the House, and signing this bill into law. One key to strengthening education, entrepreneurship, and innovation in communities like Troy is to harness the full power of the internet. That means faster and more widely available broadband- as well as rules to ensure that we preserve the fairness and openness that led to the flourishing of the internet in the first place. Today, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is announcing a set of principles to preserve an open internet in which all Americans can participate and benefit. I am pleased that he is taking this step. It is an important reminder that the role of government is to provide investment that spurs innovation and common-sense ground rules to ensure that there is a level playing field for all comers who seek to contribute their innovations. And we have to think about the networks we need today, but also the networks we'll want tomorrow. That's why I've proposed grants through the National Science Foundation and through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - which helped develop the internet - to explore the next communications breakthroughs, whatever they may be. And that's why I've appointed the first-ever Chief Technology Officer, charged with looking at ways technology can spur innovations that help government do a better and more efficient job. We must also strengthen our commitment to research, including basic research, which has been badly neglected for decades. The fact is, basic research may not pay off immediately. It may not pay off for years. And when it does, the rewards are often broadly shared, enjoyed by those who bore its costs but also by those who did not. That's why the private sector generally under-invests in basic science, and why the public sector must invest in its stead. While the risks may be large, so are the rewards for our economy and our society. It was basic research in the photoelectric effect that would one day lead to solar panels. It was basic research in physics that would eventually produce the CAT scan. The calculations of today's GPS satellites are based on the equations Einstein put to paper more than a century ago. When we fail to invest in research, we fail to invest in the future. Yet, since the peak of the Space Race in the 1960s, our national commitment to research and development has steadily fallen as a share of our national income. That is why I have set a goal of putting a full three percent of our Gross Domestic Product - our national income - into research and development, surpassing the commitment we made when President Kennedy challenged this nation to send a man to the moon. Toward this goal, the Recovery Act has helped achieve the largest increase in basic research in history. And this month the National Institutes of Health will award more than a billion dollars in research grants through the Recovery Act focused on what we can learn from the mapping of the human genome in order to treat diseases that affect millions of Americans, from cancer to heart disease. I also want to urge Congress to fully fund the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, DARPA, which has since its creation been a source of cutting-edge breakthroughs from that early internet to stealth technology. As we invest in the building blocks of innovation, from the classroom to the laboratory, it is also essential that we have competitive and vibrant markets that promote innovation as well. Education and research help foster new ideas, but it takes fair and free markets to turn those ideas into industries. My budget finally makes the research and experimentation tax credit permanent. This is a tax credit that helps companies afford the often high costs of developing new ideas, new technologies, and new products - which often mean new jobs. And this tax incentive returns two dollars to the economy for every one dollar we spend. Time and again, I've heard from leaders - from Silicon Valley to the Tech Valley - about how important this is. I've also proposed reducing to zero the capital gains tax for investments in small or startup businesses. Because small businesses are innovative businesses, producing thirteen times more patents per employee than large companies. Now, these tax incentives will spur entrepreneurship. But there are other important steps to foster markets that value and promote the risk takers and idea makers who have always been at the center of our success. That is why it is essential that we enforce trade laws and work with our trading partners to open up markets abroad; that we reform and strengthen our intellectual property system; that we sustain our advantage as a place that draws and welcomes the brightest minds from all around the world; and that we unlock sources of credit and capital which have been in short supply as a result of the financial crisis. There are other fundamental barriers to innovation and economic growth that we must tackle in order to ensure American leadership and prosperity in the 21st century. For as a nation we face enormous challenges, from ending our dependence on oil to finally providing all Americans with quality, affordable health care. We need to focus on innovations that will help us meet these challenges - innovations that will benefit society while creating new jobs in new industries. Health care costs, for example, leave our small businesses at a disadvantage when competing with our large businesses, and leave our large businesses at a disadvantage when competing around the world. And we will never know the enormity of the cost to our economy of the countless Americans unable to become an entrepreneur, to start a small business, to follow their dreams - because they're afraid of losing their health insurance. To lead in the global economy, we must pass health insurance reform that brings down costs, provides more security for people who have insurance, and offers affordable options for those who don't. And the recovery plan that we passed earlier this year has begun to modernize our health care system, by taking the long-overdue step of computerizing America's health records. This will reduce the waste and errors that cost billions of dollars and thousands of lives - while protecting patients' privacy. It's important to note, too, these records hold the potential of offering patients the chance to be more active participants in the prevention and treatment of illness. And health information technology, if implemented effectively, has the potential to unlock so many unanticipated benefits, as the patterns in data we do not yet collect reveal discoveries we cannot predict. But in no area will innovation be more important than in the development of new ways to produce, use, and save energy. I firmly believe that the nation that leads the clean energy economy will be the nation that leads the global economy. That is why we're doubling our capacity to generate renewable energy and building a stronger and smarter electric grid. We're investing in technologies to power a new generation of clean-energy vehicles. We've helped reach an agreement to raise fuel economy standards. And for the first time in history, we've passed a bill to create a system of clean energy incentives which will help make renewable energy the profitable kind of energy in America - while helping to end our dependence on oil and protect our planet for future generations. The bill has passed the House and now we're working to pass legislation through the Senate. That is an overview of our strategy. It is a strategy that is essential for our recovery today and our prosperity tomorrow. And it is a strategy rooted in a deep and abiding faith in the ability of this country to rise to any challenge. That is our history. We are a people with a seemingly limitless supply of ingenuity and daring and talent. And at its best, our government has harnessed those qualities without getting in the way. That is what led to the building of the Erie Canal which helped put cities like Troy on the map, that linked east and west and allowed commerce and competition to flow freely between. That is what led an inventor and shrewd businessman named Thomas Edison to come to Schenectady and open what is today a thriving mom-and-pop operation known as General Electric. A former Senator from New York, Robert Kennedy, once told us, "The future is not a gift. It is an achievement." It was not an accident that America led the 20th century. It was the result of hard work and discipline and sacrifice, and ambition that served a common purpose. So it must be in the 21st century. Future success is no guarantee. As Americans we must always remember that our leadership is not an inheritance, it is a responsibility. From biotechnology to nanotechnology, from the development of new forms of energy to research into treatments of ancient diseases, there is so much potential to change our world and improve our lives - while creating countless jobs all across America. The question is if we are ready to embrace that potential, if we are ready to lead the way once more. And I know that we are ready. I've seen it all across America. This generation has an unparalleled opportunity that we are called upon to seize. That is what you are doing at Hudson Valley Community College. And that is what we will do as a nation. Thank you.

Photoshop has become a by-word for image editing, the standard by which all other programs are judged. But it's also expensive, complicated and daunting for non-experts. And that's not all - the digital imaging world and user's expectations have moved on.
Once, all we wanted was an image editor. But now, several years into the digital imaging revolution, we realise we need software that can help manage and organise our ever-growing photo libraries too. We need to be able to search tens of thousands of images and apply enhancements to dozens at a time.
And the development of raw processing technology has shifted the balance in other ways, so that what was once a simple and routine raw conversion process has now become an important alternative editing process in its own right.
With the latest advances in raw converters, how much do we really need programs like Photoshop? That's exactly what we aim to find out...
Corel PaintShop Pro X5 - £60/US$60/AU$80
At one time, Corel PaintShop Pro was almost a de facto standard among PC owners as a low-cost but high-powered image editing tool. But times have changed, and although Corel continues to develop and promote PaintShop Pro, it doesn't have the presence in the market it once did.
It is, however, a powerful and versatile tool, combining Photoshop-style image adjustments with integrated photo management tools. If you're used to Adobe's interface, Paint Shop Pro might require a little getting used to, but the basic principles are much the same. It's designed both for novices and more advanced users, and has some interesting tools.
Unlike Serif PhotoPlus and Photoshop Elements, its chief rivals, PaintShop Pro does not use a separate image cataloguing application. It's an all-in-one program with three tabs: Manage, Adjust and Edit. You use the Manage tab to organise your photos and display the contents of your folders or create 'virtual' Collections - including Smart Collections, which use search criteria to bring similar images together.
The Adjust panel is used for quick photo enhancements, including a wide range of nice-looking effects (the Retro Lab is especially good), but the serious work is done in the Edit tab, where you can use layers, selections and masks to edit your images in much the same way as Photoshop, although the controls and dialogs are different and will need re-learning.
But although PaintShop Pro can open and edit raw files, its Raw Lab tools are pretty basic, and once your images are open in the main editor, you're likely to find its adjustments sometimes painfully slow - especially if you opt for the live preview.
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 - £75/US$65/AU$130
Elements boasts a whole series of beginner-friendly tools, features and working modes that make it ideal for non-experts but reinforce the idea that it's not a 'serious' program.
Underpinning the Elements Editor is an Expert editing mode with almost all the tools you need for sophisticated and advanced image editing techniques. It's missing a few of Photoshop's high-end features, but it's so close in other respects that it's an effective substitute.
In version 11, Adobe has not made any great changes to the software's tools, but it has updated the interface to give it a cleaner, brighter and more accessible look.
The new interface does sometimes get in the way. You can still choose Expert mode to access the full range of tools, but the options have been moved from a thin strip along the top of the screen to a fat panel at the bottom. If you have a largish, high-resolution display it won't be a problem, but on a laptop Elements 11 could feel cramped.
Besides, most of the new features in this version are found in Elements' companion application, the Organizer, with its new people, places and events views. Elements 11 also has new templates for printed photo 'creations' and online albums, and there are fresh filters and 'Guided Edit' effects.

IG Toolkit version 14.1 is now online, and as per the recent communication sent to IG Toolkit administrators and SIGNs Chairs, there are no substantive changes to requirements in V14.1 from V14.
You should note that V14.1 is an interim solution pending the introduction of a redesigned Information Governance Toolkit - as recommended in the National Data Guardian's Review of Data Security, Consent and Opt-outs, and based around assuring local implementation of the ten data security standards set out in that review.
This redesigned IG Toolkit is in phased development and will include a new set of mandatory requirements to support the evolving system and threats. It will be more accessible and easier to use, while also providing a greater emphasis on data security leadership obligations – people, processes and technology.
A beta version of the redesigned toolkit is due for launch in the Autumn ahead of a formal roll out across all sectors in April 2018. We will contact organisations again in due course to release a 'statement of requirements' to assist in preparing evidence for the revised solution.
In the meantime, all organisations who currently complete the IG Toolkit must complete a V14.1 submission as outlined in the Release Note below.
Please read the following documents:

Back for brake vibration turned into tank slapper
A few weeks before the PA trip took the bike to the dealer to have them address the front brake vibration. Their "fix" was replacing the muffler hangers and adjust the swing away.
Well just before the PA trip I was able to ride the bike hard in some twisties, to warm it up for an oil change in the engine and primary.
All of a sudden in a nice downhill sweeper, Tank Slapper time! Well I e-mailed them before the PA trip and the week before they call and want to do something about the swing away.
Today I left it with them to look at and 40 miles from home they call and say they found the swing away too tight and loosened it some more.
And did you already grease the steering bearings like I asked you to do while the faring was off? (It's at 20 K and I figure while stuff is apart do it and I don't have to ever return to them) They didn't know...
Already too loose, if too tight you get a weave after turns. The entire trip it felt like the front tire was on a patch of ice at slow speeds.
That is what I had with the '06 RG, besides the tank slapper, I had finally gotten it almost too tight and found out about the weave feeling, but it settled (seated?) in and was hardly noticeable, also it stopped the front end wobble at speeds below 40 with hands off the bars. And no tank slapper any more.

I have the wobble under 40 with hands off the bars, but never had my tank slapped.
Can you expound on the weave feeling a little?
I know you think you understood what I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
The wobble is the tank slapper, downhill at 60 plus in a nice sweeping corner to the right and it starts flopping around like a freshly landed carp.
The weave is if you induce some twitch going straight ahead and maybe in and out of corners, you will feel a bit of oscillation in the bars, but goes away in very short time.
Mine (weave) almost made me want to go back into the adjustment, but on the last ride to ES on the '06 it was pretty much unnoticeable by the time I got to AR.
I want to imagine that the bearings seated in better...
But I could roll at 20 MPH hands off bars and no wobble.

Yesterday, we took down our Christmas decorations, except for the outdoor lights on the balcony and the wreath on the door. I felt like it was time - time to put everything away, move the green chair back to its spot in the living room, vacuum up all the fallen needles and glitter from the carpet - and even though we were able to enjoy all the decorations for a month already, it makes me a little sad to put it all away until next year.
Before Christmas there's so much anticipation and preparation... and then it's over so quickly. It's strange how fast a month can fly by. And already, stores are stocked with pink and red and white for Valentines.
I've been craving blueberries lately, and with the warm days we've been having this week - nearly 50 degrees - I like the idea of something fruity and sweet and light, for a change from all the rich holiday desserts. Unfortunately, it's not the season for blueberries. They're not only incredibly expensive right now, but they're also missing that crisp taste that bursts in your mouth when you bite into one.
But I won't let that stop me. With two bags of cranberries still to use up, I wanted to make more jam. Before Christmas, I made a big batch of cranberry orange preserves, which was a little like a cranberry marmalade. But I gave it all away, so to stock up a little jam for us, I made another batch, this time with cranberries and blueberries. The sweetness of the blueberries were such a nice balance to the tartness of the cranberries, and cooking them into a jam masked the fact that it's not the perfect season for blueberries.
We're all stocked up on cranberry blueberry jam, now. For some variety, I may make some more soon - I like combining two or three fruits for a more complex flavor.
After the jam was made, canned and cooled, I found some leftover pie dough in the freezer to make a few little tarts with. To make these tarts, all you need are a few scraps of dough, pressed into muffin tins (or an individual tart pan, if you have it). Fill each with about three tablespoons of filling, and the filling really can be anything you like. I made two with caramel and chocolate, and two with chocolate and jam. Lemon curd would be amazing, topped before serving with a dab of whipped cream. Fresh fruit with jam would be delicious. These can be made to suit anyone's taste, and what's great is you can make as many or as few as you'd like. If you want a little taste of pie, but don't have the willpower to resist a whole pie sitting on the counter, then just make one or two of these little tarts for a sampling of something sweet.
And for breakfast yesterday, I added some blueberries and Greek yogurt to oatmeal for a healthy and filling breakfast. The Greek yogurt adds such creaminess to the oatmeal while keeping it healthy.
Blueberries and Cream Oatmeal
printable recipe
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup oats
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, lowfat
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- pinch of nutmeg
- milk, optional
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the oats, salt and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to medium low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, until the water is mostly absorbed. Stir in the yogurt until smooth. Stir in the blueberries. Cover and let sit for 3 minutes.
Spoon into bowls and sprinkle with nutmeg. Add milk, if desired.
Yields 2 servings.
Cranberry Blueberry Jam
printable recipe
- 2 bags (12 ounces each) fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2 containers (6 ounces each) fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- zest and juice of 1 small lemon
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 7 tablespoons classic pectin
- 5 cups granulated sugar
In a large stock pot, combine the cranberries, blueberries, lemon zest and juice, water, cloves and vanilla. Over medium heat, simmer the fruit and spices for about 20-30 minutes, until the cranberries burst and the flavors develop. Mash the fruit with a potato masher, leaving it as chunky as you like. Stir in the butter (this helps prevent a foamy texture to the jam).
Sprinkle the pectin over the mixture and stir to combine. Turn the heat to high and bring to a boil, while stirring constantly. Add the sugar all at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a vigorous boil, while stirring constantly, and boil hard for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Ladle the hot jam into hot sterilized jars and process in a water bath according to standard canning procedures, or simply cool and store in the fridge to be eaten within a few months. (See my previous post on canning.)
Yields 8 half-pint jars (8 cups) of jam.
Pastry Tarts with a Variety of Fillings
printable recipe
for each tart, you will need:
- about 1/2 ounce of pie dough (1 standard pie crust should yield about 16 individual tarts)
- 3 tablespoons of the filling of your choice (mix and match chopped chocolate, caramel, chopped fruit, jam, lemon curd, etc...)
- egg white
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse turbinado sugar
Preheat the oven to 350. If you don't have an individual tart pan, which I don't, then use a muffin tin to make your tarts. Take half-ounce pieces of dough (about a heaping tablespoon), shape into balls, then roll out into circles that can be pressed into the muffin pan with a little overhang. Tuck the edges under. Spoon filling into the dough. Brush the edges of the dough with a little egg white (to help it brown) and sprinkle with the sugar.
Bake for 30 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan. Cool on a plate and serve warm or at room temperature.

LETTER- Plain soap will do
What's really sad about the current disinfection discussion ["Coming clean: Board weighs in on disinfection debate," July 24] is the display of ignorance coupled with unfounded fear that guides decisions made by many people nowadays.
Dr. Thomas Pajewski, a member of the school board's health advisory board, says, "It's important to clean high-touch areas as thoroughly as possible, even if these areas become re-contaminated after a single use."
This is exactly what does happen, thus illustrating what a waste of time and money it is to disinfect. Yet people feel they should do it anyway because of over-exaggerated fears. The reality is that the majority of microbes (probably about 99 percent) pose no harm at all to humans.
Then this doctor says that "you need to start somewhere" because "the alternative is to let things accumulate." These statements suggest ignorance. Things– meaning bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms– do not "accumulate" if you simply wash the area with plain soap and water. And such simple sanitation should be the main focus of public bathroom cleaning because unsanitary situations are the main source of spreading illness.
The smart way to keep children from contracting serious infectious diseases (colds not included because kids need to be exposed to these illnesses when they are young in order to get their immune systems up and running) is to teach them and their teachers to keep hands clean; keep hands away from eyes, nose, and mouth; keep cuts and scrapes covered; and do not share personal items, such as towels.
The school board chairman asks, "How much green can we afford?" The answer is that the schools and our local governments throw away plenty of green (money) on special products that are not even needed. Soap is cheap, and soap is what should be used.
I just hope these people are wise enough to do away with antibacterial soaps/cleaning agents that are well known to have helped create "superbugs," such as MRSA– the bacteria that is perhaps the cause of this current obsession with "germs."
How ironic that people's misplaced fear and consequent behavior is what brings about ever more virulent organisms that truly are fearsome.

"The smart way to keep children from contracting serious infectious diseases (colds not included because kids need to be exposed to these illnesses when they are young in order to get their immune systems up and running) is to teach them and their teachers to keep hands clean; keep hands away from eyes, nose, and mouth; keep cuts and scrapes covered; and do not share personal items, such as towels." The effectiveness of this training will probably equal that of STD prevention.
It is quite scary this ignorance is coming from a doctor, and this doctor is on the school's
"Health" advisory board. No wonder kids health is tanking while drug profits rise. Better add an asthma inhaler to your child's back-to-school list. Looks like they're going to need it.
MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Methicillin is an antibiotic NOT an antibacterial soap/cleaning agent!! Superbugs are becoming more resistant due to the overuse of antibiotics! As to the environment, many pathogens can survive for weeks to months on surfaces! Soap is NOT what you should use! Using soap and water has no effect on most of these pathogens. You are just moving them from place to place and actually causing more harm than good. Studies are beginning to show that disinfection of high touch surfaces will reduce the infection rate. The problem is that one study showed cleaners missing 49% of the surfaces in hospital rooms! Using the proper tools to disinfect surfaces will make a tremendous difference! That is what we are trying to accomplish with Sterilray!
From the Mayo Clinic: Warding off germs and infection--What's the best way to stay disease-free? Prevent infections from happening in the first place. You can prevent infection through simple tactics such as regular hand washing.
Often overlooked, hand washing is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect yourself from germs and most infections. Wash your hands thoroughly before preparing or eating food, after coughing or sneezing, after changing a diaper and after using the toilet. When soap and water aren't readily available, alcohol-based hand-sanitizing gels can offer protection.
From Marlene: In short, people selling products often use scare-mongering to convince folks of the need to purchase their products. Schools are not hospitals where sick people are more susceptible--in a variety of ways, such as via catheters--to infection.
I agree with Mr. Neister. An excellent summary of current thinking is here:
or google:
Bacteria's in the air, everywhere we look around
It states:
Yet, until recently, this was not the case and infection prevention and control strategies have focused primarily on good hand hygiene and isolation nursing of colonised or infected patients. By comparison, relatively little attention was paid to the cleanliness of the clinical environment – possibly because of the fact that the contribution of environmental contamination to the spread of nosocomial pathogens such as MRSA remains ill characterised. However, there is accumulating evidence to suggest that the environment may play a more important role than hitherto acknowledged – not only for MRSA but also for CDAD and infections associated with other bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii. Patient and public concern over the potential role that the hospital environment might play in the epidemiology of healthcare associated infection was recognised with the announcement of the programme of deep cleaning of hospitals, which was due to be completed by March of this year. Although this initiative has generated much debate as to its likely effectiveness, it appears to represent a shift in approach to the containment of healthcare associated infection, with a tacit recognition that environmental contamination can contribute, at least in part, to the spread and persistence of some pathogens.
While schools are not hospitals, they deserve the same attention to infection control. MRSA and other superbugs are becoming a major problem in the community. soap and water or even gels will not wash away the problem.

I have been waiting on pins and needles to see what someone would write for me for our Furtive Father Winter event that is being hosted by red cow rising for Blog Azeroth! And this was worth the wait. I love it. Reading it brought tears to my eyes and I so appreciate this. Thank you so much Draccus! Also, you can find my gift to RennaissanceMan at this spot.
I have enjoyed and been honestly stretched beyond anything I have ever done in writing this piece for you. I pray to Elune that you enjoy and are touched by the sincere heart I have hopefully poured into it. The story is about your main character Karegina, a Restoration Druid, and the events on a special Winter's Veil night. Please let me know if you would want me to continue to write or perhaps include you into the Saga in the future.
I have attached the Word Document file, but to make sure you get the story I am going to paste the entirety of it within this email as well.
Sincerely Wish You a Merry/Happy Winters Veil,
Draccus Moonsayer
The grass plains of Mulgore basked in the Sun's rays by day and kept the ground warm during the night. The open spaces afforded magnificent views between the tall cliff walls of this secluded valley region. It was here that the Tauren, a tribal race of Warriors, Shamans, Druids, and other classes within their society, made their home after countless seasons of nomadic living. The land had formed the tall Mesas that they would call Thunderbluff, a natural city in the sky.
Several hundred feet off the valley floor these multi level platforms held enough ground, rock, water, and resources that life could be established. A thriving people built their homes, places of commerce, and centers for learning here. Rope bridges and walkways connected the four giant pillars that crowned the surrounding landscape.
There were the three Rises that held a special place of importance to the Taurens: The Hunter Rise, The Spirit Rise, and The Elder Rise. It is on the Elder Rise where Druids of the Plains are taught, equipped, and housed when not adventuring out in the world of Azeroth or serving the Horde's summons. While the Druids also have a home in the village of Nighthaven within the region of Moonglade, Thunderbluff would always call them back.
Tonight was no different to the hundreds of citizens and visitors passing through Thunderbluff on their travels, except for a small portion of the clan of Runetotem. This Winter's Veil night there were tears of departure and tears of joy over a life well lived. While so many in the Horde were celebrating the season with green ribbon wrapped gifts and sugary treats, one particular clan was celebrating the greatest gift of all, family and the memories had.
A wise old sage by the name of Calmwinds Runetotem had passed on to be with the Earthmother. The rituals for his body had been attended to by the elders of the clan. The fire of his funeral pyre had been set ablaze at sunset according to customs. His ashes had been gathered up into small pouches, that he wished members of his family to carry with them as a reminder of his peace and love he had in life. Calmwinds was beloved by all and was especially important to his favorite great niece, Karegina Runetotem.
Karegina Runetotem had become a Restoration Druid and fought alongside her companions into the toughest of encounters. Her healing ability has saved the life of her mate Paliclaus as well as several others over the years far past a recordable number. She was regarded as a very promising raider and Tauren Druid before she helped slay her first dragon.
The challenges of a world constantly as war it seemed caused her a great deal of stress and anxiety. She longed for the same serene inner strength her Great Uncle Calmwinds carried with him all his life.
She sat near a small, crackling fire that warmed her against the chill of the night. In her hands she held a small pouch of ashen remains, all that was left of her hero and mentor. She looked out from her view on Elder Rise and let the tears flow down her face.
"How am I going to have your joy now that you're gone Uncle?" Karegina whispered to the wind. She knew she had much to be grateful for and that in time the hurt would subside. "You were the Tauren that believed and encouraged me to become a Druid in the first place."
The soft, wet muzzle of her faithful pet, Dante, nudged her arm. He was a large wolf companion that had travelled with Karegina in all of her travels. He had been found on the dry plains of the Northern Barrens when he was but a pup and her only a budding calf. Their friendship was a treasured bond between animal and master that had occurred since the dawning of life on Azeroth.
"It's okay Dante. Mommy is just sad over losing a dear family member. You remember Great Uncle Calmwinds. He used to feed you scraps of Plainstrider meat from the table at banquets."
"And you used to steal bits of Cornmash from the table as I recall Karegina." A strange and gruff female voice sounded from the shadows of the nearest tent. The outline of the stranger's body in the shadows was much smaller than a Tauren, and her voice was nothing like her husband's race of dignified Blood Elves.
"Who goes there? Only an unkind soul would disturb another's stolen moment of grief on this chilly Winter's Veil night." Karegina said standing up now and reaching for her staff.
"Peace sister I did not want to come when the rest of the family was grieving the lost of our Uncle Calmwinds Runetotem. I…… I thought it best if…… we meet alone."
"Sister! Sister! How dare you claim to be my long lost sister!" Karegina responded with anger in her voice and a stance that a warrior might have taken against a foe.
"Annanda was my only sister. Although she was a Forsaken Mage schooled in the ways of battlegrounds and violent Arena life she had more guts and backbone to face a person head on and not slink about in the shadows like a Rogue. Show yourself!"
"Karegina please hear me out before making a rash decision or judgement. Okay? I am your sister Annanda. I have been away for a very long time and have undergone…… a rare experiment that has permanently changed the way I look."
The person in the shadows stepped forward into the light of the fire. A Goblin woman in expensive robes stood as tall as she could and looked directly back at Karegina. The glowing dagger and wand on her belt would easily be recognized as a seasoned Gladiator's prize.
"I am no longer Undead sister. I am nothing like my former self in body, but who I am as a person still remains. The Goblins and Forsaken have come up with a risky blend of engineering and necromancy to forever alter a person's physical body."
The Mage reached into the breast pocket of her elegant robes and pulled out a single ring. This ring was decorated in the finest craftsmanship any Horde jewel-crafter could make. It was a sister ring, where two rings were fitted together like vines weaving together in a locking fashion.
"I kept our ring with me during all my travels. Throughout Outlands, the frozen lands of Northrend, & even into the Elemental Plains. It has been a source of comfort and a constant reminder of the joys of family."
The Tauren Druid reached into her belt pocket and removed an identical ring. Her sister ring. The same one she had crafted for her beloved sister before she disappeared through the Dark Portal into Outlands so many years ago.
"Annanda is that really you?" Karegina said with uncertainty in her voice. With an ember sized hope she reached for the chance that at last she would be reunited with her beloved sister.
"I am home sister. If just for the holidays, I am home."
The two embraced in an overwhelming emotional hug. A large and powerful Tauren Druid held a small sized Goblin Mage in her arms as they both cried tears of joy. As the snowflakes began to descend and the air became colder, two sisters were reunited on this special Winter's Veil night.

- Essays on monetary and fiscal policy transmission (2010)
- In my dissertation I study the transmission of monetary and fiscal policy in New Keynesian DSGE models. In the first chapter we revisit the exchange rate channel in a two-country model of the U.S. and a panel of industrialized countries to analyse how monetary policy transmission in the U.S. changes if it becomes more trade integrated. We find that more openness lowers the sacrifice ratio, although the effect is quantitatively small and depends on the pricing of the firms. In the second chapter we simulate the impact of the U.S. fiscal stimulus package in 2009 on GDP. We find that the government spendingmultiplier is well below 1. The finding is robust to including rule-of-thumb consumers and simulating the stimulus in the recent recession. In the third chapter we collect the fiscal stimulus measures in the eleven biggest countries of the euro area. Then we do a robustness study by simulating the european package in five different models of the euro area. The macroeconomic models vary in terms of backward-looking decision making of the agents and openness. Our findings provide no support for a Keynesian multiplier. Instead they suggest that additional government spending will reduce private spending for consumption and investment purposes. If government spending faces an implementation lag, the initial effect on GDP may even be negative. In the fourth chapter I estimate a DSGE model for Germany and compute forecasts for the debt-to-GDP ratio. I find that the expected economic recovery will lead to a decrease in Germany's indebtedness in the medium-term given that policy makers stick to the fiscal policy rules.
- A new comparative approach to macroeconomic modeling and policy analysis (2012)
- In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, the state of macroeconomicmodeling and the use of macroeconomic models in policy analysis has come under heavy criticism. Macroeconomists in academia and policy institutions have been blamed for relying too much on a particular class of macroeconomic models. This paper proposes a comparative approach to macroeconomic policy analysis that is open to competing modeling paradigms. Macroeconomic model comparison projects have helped produce some very influential insights such as the Taylor rule. However, they have been infrequent and costly, because they require the input of many teams of researchers and multiple meetings to obtain a limited set of comparative findings. This paper provides a new approach that enables individual researchers to conduct model comparisons easily, frequently, at low cost and on a large scale. Using this approach a model archive is built that includes many well-known empirically estimated models that may be used for quantitative analysis of monetary and fiscal stabilization policies. A computational platform is created that allows straightforward comparisons of models' implications. Its application is illustrated by comparing different monetary and fiscal policies across selected models. Researchers can easily include new models in the data base and compare the effects of novel extensions to established benchmarks thereby fostering a comparative instead of insular approach to model development

Team Fortress 2 now has a co-operative "horde" mode of its own, allowing five players to team up and take on waves and waves of...angry robots.
As expected, Valve's "Gray" teases have indeed led us to the dawn of the franchise's war against robotics.
The robots are modelled after each of the existing game's iconic classes. There's at least one new map built for this new game mode (pictured below), which has the robot army trying to deploy and detonate a bomb. There are also new achievements.
What's more, between waves you'll have the chance to upgrade both your character's abilities and weapons. Those making it to the end will pick up, you guessed it, loot. Which I'm guessing it hats.
Only details on the update's robots have been released today. Info on changes to the human players and just what the loot and equipment for the mode is will come later in the week.
The update is scheduled to go live on August 15.

Chevrolet C-10 Exterior Makeover - From Hand-Me-Down To Handsome
DIY Weekend C-10 Makeover
I think it would be safe to say that most of us reading this who have a classic truck have a truck that's considered a daily driver. Sure there are the restos and high-dollar custom builds, but honest old trucks still probably outnumber the "nice" ones, right? My '72 C-10 is definitely a daily driver both in its mechanical state (a good thing) and in the looks department (a bad thing). Even though it's been the guinea pig for plenty of tech articles here and is actually almost "done," the exterior still looks like it could be a yard workers truck! Despite all the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain stuff I've done to it, its expanded foam/Bondo filled (really) rust holes are still covered in spotty white rattle can primer, which looks great with a wadded up rear bumper, broken grille, andfaded/oversprayed/cracked marker lenses ... not.
Well, I finally got sick enough of the truck's fresh from the junkyard look that I bought a few items from Brothers Truck Parts to make it look like it isn't waiting to be hauled off for a tax deduction. I didn't want to even start getting crazy with body and paint yet (even though I should) since I'm trying to finish the Bumpside, but since the LS swap I have been driving the truck quite a bit and wanted to be a little more proud of what's on the outside to go along with all my other hard work inside/beneath. So, a new grille, grille surround, headlight bezels, marker lights all around, taillight lenses, bumpers, and necessary hardware were ordered, and I set aside a weekend to tackle the small exterior beautification project. I also added a passenger front fender and inner fender to the list since now would be a great time to replace these items with the all too common battery-side rot.
Most of the items on the list are really easy to replace like marker lights. Two screws and twist the lightbulb back into place and voil! I did, however, opt to go for the Cheyenne-style deluxe side marker lights to add a bit of class to my plain Jane. Just be sure to order new screws and such if yours are crusty. The hardest part was probably fitting the new grille inner to the new grille surround. Not because it was that hard, but because it should almost be a two-person job because of the size of the grille. That and just taking the time to line up all the rivet holes in the grille with the ones on the stock brackets takes a little bit of patience. Also, some trimming on the inside of the grille surround at the fenders might be required to avoid paint scratches, but it seems like it might vary truck to truck. The bumpers went on without a hitch (Brothers has those too!), which included new brackets and gravel pans in the rear as well as the license plate box and lamp. The new bumpers made a big difference in the "wow" department for sure.
Had I not replaced the fender and inner fender the rest of this stuff could have been done in a day, but I had to add some rattle can white primer to the fender, which led to touching up a bunch of other areas on the truck and spread into another day of working on it. By Sunday afternoon the truck was ready to roll-in style. Summer is here. Don't put something like this off any longer; it's so simple and produces great results!
