KTRS News
Wednesday, 08 May 2013 07:00 Published in Health & FitnessThe stakes are high for Christie, with medical professionals and campaign strategists alike suggesting there is no more serious barrier to his personal well-being and national ambitions than his weight.
It's not about politics, he said. It's about turning 50 and wanting to be around as his children grow up.
"This is a hell of a lot more important to me than running for president," Christie, a father of four, said at a news conference in Newark. "This is about my family's future."
Christie, who appeared thinner than he did earlier this year, said he decided around the time of his birthday in September to have the surgery and initially planned to have it done in November. But Superstorm Sandy's destruction in New Jersey pushed back the procedure until February. In the operation, a band was surgically placed around his stomach to restrict how much food he could eat.
Christie has not previously disclosed his weight, and he didn't on Tuesday. But it has been an issue throughout his political career. Comedians have often made fun of it, and in interviews with David Letterman, Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters and others, Christie has both joked about the issue and said solemnly that he was trying to shed pounds.
During a February appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman," the governor pulled out a doughnut and said his girth was "fair game" for comedians.
Over the next few days, he was asked repeatedly about his weight. At one point, he said he had a plan. "Whether it's successful or not," he said, "you'll all be able to notice."
The next day, he responded angrily to comments from a former White House physician who said she hoped he would run for president but worried about him dying in office. The governor said the doctor should "shut up."
Ten days after that, on Feb. 16, Christie had the surgery. He said the operation lasted 40 minutes and he was home the same afternoon. He was back at work on Feb. 19 for a full day of events.
Christie, who is in the midst of a re-election campaign, said he has been eating less because he hasn't been as hungry. He also has been working out with a personal trainer.
He said he had told only a few top staffers - not his communications office or campaign staff - and his communications director was caught by surprise Monday when a New York Post reporter asked directly if he'd had the procedure. The Post first reported the surgery on Tuesday. Christie said he'd used an alias at the hospital.
Christie said he never intended to make a public announcement and that he was "not going to be the guy who writes a book" about losing weight. The Republican, who has been a fixture in the national media spotlight, said the scrum of reporters at his news conference was "silly" and "ridiculous" at a time when there are other things going on.
He said he tried other ways to lose weight for years, but none seemed to work.
"It's not a career issue for me; it's a long-term health issue for me," he said.
Still, it's a way to confront a significant hurdle in his indisputable quest to emerge as a key leader in the Republican Party. He's in the top tier of those considered potential contenders for the presidential nomination in 2016.
Weeks after the surgery, Christie launched an aggressive national fundraising tour, fueling speculation that he's laying the groundwork for a White House bid.
In a country facing an obesity epidemic, more than 220,000 stomach-reducing procedures of various types are performed each year. Gastric bypass, sometimes called stomach stapling, is the most common, where surgeons shrink the stomach's size and reroute food to the small intestine. Christie had gastric band surgery. It's best known by the brand name Lap-Band, and is a less invasive alternative in which an adjustable ring is placed over the top of the stomach and tightened to restrict how much food can enter.
The adjustable Lap-Band has been available in the U.S. since 2001 for the most obese patients, and in 2011 the Food and Drug Administration expanded approval to somewhat less obese patients.
Candidates for gastric banding must have a body mass index of between 30 and 40 - plus a weight-related medical condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure - or a BMI of 40 and higher. They also must have previously attempted to lose weight through diet and exercise.
"If you eat appropriately and chew your food, it works nicely," said Dr. Christina Li, a bariatric doctor at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. She said Christie has the resources to have people help him eat right and get exercise. While the band is removable, she said patients are told to adjust to having it for the rest of their lives.
Li said risks include infection, and that it does not work for all patients.
Dr. Jaime Ponce, who practices in Dalton, Ga., and is president of the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, said people who have the procedure Christie had often lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.
Christie's procedure was performed by Dr. George Fielding, head of NYU Medical Center's Weight Management Program, who did the same procedure for New York Jets coach Rex Ryan three years ago.
"It basically teaches you how to eat like a human," Ryan said of the device in an interview last week with The Associated Press. "The Lap-Band goes: `No, no. You're only going to eat this or that,' and it trains your body how to eat right," said Ryan, who said he has lost 115 pounds from his pre-surgery weight of 348.
Few significantly overweight presidential candidates have succeeded in the modern political era, when television became a major factor in shaping voter attitudes. There are disputed reports that President William Howard Taft couldn't fit in a White House bathtub a century ago, but only a handful of presidents since have been considered obese. President Bill Clinton struggled at times with his weight, but he was substantially slimmer than the New Jersey governor.
"This has nothing to do with politics," said Christie adviser Bill Palatucci. "He said that he's doing this for his family and that's the right reason."
Backers publicly argue that Christie answered any questions about his weight's political impact in 2009, when he beat Gov. Jon Corzine despite the Democrat's reference in an ad to Christie "throwing his weight around" to get out of traffic tickets. Supporters say Christie's openness about his struggle is part of an authenticity people admire in him.
The governor's allies, medical professionals and even history suggest that his weight presents both practical and political problems.
"Gov. Christie's weight is an issue the same way that any candidate or official's health is an issue," said Michael Dennehy, a New Hampshire-based Republican strategist and veteran of presidential politics. "Anyone running for president will need to comfort Americans with an overall healthy picture for their future."
Mulvihill reported from Haddonfield, N.J., and Peoples from Providence, R.I. AP Medical Writer Lauran Neergaard in Washington, AP writers Thomas Beaumont in Des Moines, Iowa, and AP Sports Writer Dennis Waszak in New York contributed to this report.

Tuesday, 07 May 2013 11:30 Published in Health & FitnessThe company says that people who received 18 months of infusions with its drug, Gammagard, fared no better than others given infusions of a dummy solution.
Gammagard is immune globulin, natural antibodies culled from donated blood. Researchers thought these antibodies might help remove amyloid, the sticky plaque that clogs patients' brains, sapping memory and ability to think.
Patients with moderate disease and those with a gene that raises risk of Alzheimer's who were taking the higher of two doses in the study seemed to benefit, although the study was not big enough to say for sure.
"The study missed its primary endpoints, however we remain interested by the prespecified sub-group analyses" in groups that seemed to benefit, Ludwig Hantson, president of Baxter's BioScience business, said in a statement.
Gammagard is already sold to treat some blood disorders, and the results of the Alzheimer's study do not affect those uses. About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer's is the most common type. In the U.S., about 5 million have Alzheimer's. Current medicines such as Aricept and Namenda just temporarily ease symptoms. There is no known cure.
Excitement about Gammagard grew last summer, when researchers reported at a medical conference that the drug had stabilized Alzheimer's disease for as much as three years in four patients who had been receiving the highest dose of it for three years in the study. People typically go from diagnosis to death in about eight years, so to be stable for so long was considered remarkable.
The new results on the full group of study participants are disappointing, said the study's leader, Dr. Norman Relkin, head of a memory disorders program at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center.
"The bar was set very high" for the drug to show improvement, and "there does appear to be a signal" that it helped the two-thirds of patients in the study who had the apoE4 gene that raises the risk of developing Alzheimer's, as well as those with moderate versus mild disease, Relkin said.
No new side effects were seen in the study. About 5 percent of patients on the drug had a rash and decreases in hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. There were 17 serious reactions, 12 in the drug group and five in the placebo group.
Full results will be presented in July at an Alzheimer's conference in Boston.
Meanwhile, other studies are under way to test drugs earlier in the course of the disease. An experimental drug, Eli Lilly & Co.'s solanezumab, showed some promise in that setting in an earlier study.
Shares of Baxter fell $2.53, or 3.6 percent, to $67.78 in morning trading.

Waste Prevention Classes
Waste programs encourage residents to explore the waste that we create and come up with ideas of how to turn waste into a resource for greening the city. Workshop topics include composting, the food cycle, and waste prevention. Read below for full class descriptions.
NYC Compost Project in Manhattan
The Lower East Side Ecology Center operates the NYC Compost Project in Manhattan, a compost education and outreach program funded by the NYC Department of Sanitation, Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling. Check out the NYC WasteLess calendar for upcoming composting workshops (select "Organic Waste" category under "Browse Events").
Working with residents, public schools, community gardens, and organizations, the NYC Compost Project in Manhattan offers free workshops on both indoor and outdoor composting, and provides technical assistance to gardens, buildings, and institutions who wish to compost. Please see our calendar for a list of free workshops or contact us through the Compost Hotline. Learn More.
Reclaiming the Food Cycle (a.k.a Hummus to Humus)
The Ecology Center has developed a workshop to address the full cycle of food production, consumption, waste-to-resource conversion and community gardening. Participants learn about where our food comes from, healthy eating, composting, and using compost as a resource to grow more food or beautify their community. Participants will have the opportunity to plan a composting and food growing system for their school.
Waste Prevention
The Waste Prevention Classes teach participants about the many ways to reduce waste in their everyday lives, including at home, work, or school. Students learn about the differences between "needed" and "wanted" products, as well as how to make conscious consumer choices. The Ecology Center also provides participants with local resources for recycling, reuse, and reducing their impacts.

Sunday May 19th 2013 – Pentecost
The Holy Spirit empowers us to go beyond our natural abilities, in order to witness to Christ, to live as children of God and to remind us of all that Christ taught.
With the mission of Christ completed, there was one more definitive step to establish his Church. That was the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit is the transcendent software, as it were, that drives the Church. From the first moments of the Spirit's gusty arrival in the upper room, the apostles were empowered to go beyond their natural abilities…
Sunday May 12th 2013 – Ascension of Our Lord – World Communications Day
In 1907, when the 20th century had not long come into being, Robert Hugh Benson wrote of things to come in his book "Lord of the World." In it he described many things not yet known to man – aeroplanes, electric lights, smokeless zones, temperatures measured in centigrade, a European parliament and a Home Rule Bill for Ireland. All this must have taken much imagination and a prophetic instinct, while those reading it then must have thought it all fantasy. Now we know how accurate he was.
But imagination can play a great part in our life of faith. How else can we…
Sunday May 5th 2013 – Sixth Sunday of Easter
Today we hear from the farewell discourse in the Gospel of Saint John. Jesus is replying to a question about why he does not show himself to the world. The disciples want fireworks; they want everyone to see who Jesus really is and are wondering why he does not put on some big performance for them. The response of Jesus is clear…
Sunday April 28th 2013 – Fifth Sunday of Easter
To die that we may truly live. It doesn't take much searching to find in the scriptures words so terrifying that if we don't feel in need of a word of consolation, it can only be because we haven't been paying attention. For example, in today's first reading St Paul and Barnabas tell us that the way to the kingdom of God lies through many afflictions, reminiscent, of course, of the remarks of Jesus to his disciples that they should…
Sunday April 21st 2013 – Fourth Sunday of Easter – World Day of Prayer for Vocations
In the liturgy for the fourth Sunday of Easter, the Church gives us the powerful and appealing image of Christ as the Good Shepherd. Christ is commonly depicted in ancient art as a shepherd carrying a sheep on his shoulders, holding its legs firmly with his hands. It is an image full of reassurance, one that promises safety and security, one that tells us to…
Sunday April 14th 2013 – Third Sunday of Easter
What happens to Simon Peter in today's Gospel looks like a set up. And, to be honest, it is. Christ has set Peter up.
Sunday April 7th 2013 – Second Sunday of Easter – Divine Mercy Sunday
Today we celebrate the Feast of Divine Mercy. When we think about today's feast we think about the mercy of God.
At first glance, we might think that this would be better if it were celebrated during Lent. After all, for six weeks of praying and doing penance, we were seeking the mercy of God. Now, all of a sudden, here we are on the octave day of Easter, the height of the celebration of Our Lord's resurrection, and suddenly we are asking God once again for mercy. But, in fact, as we celebrate the octave, we are celebrating for eight days the feast itself. So today, as for the last week, we are in fact celebrating…
Sunday March 31st 2013 – Easter Sunday

Sunday March 24th 2013 – Palm Sunday
First Reading Isaiah 50: 4-7 This passage is the third of Isaiah's servant songs. It has a darker, yet more confident, tone than the others. Although the song gives a first-person description of how the Servant was beaten and abused, here the Servant is described both as teacher and learner, who follows the path on which God places him without pulling back. His vindication is left in God's hands.

TELL US: Is It OK to Hand Out Sex Toys on Public Property?
City officials deny Trojan's request to hand out vibrators on City Hall Plaza, citing that the venue is too family oriented. Instead the sex toys will be given away today at the Boston Center for the Arts.
Trojan, the brand name associated with condoms, will be handing out sex toys on Monday, Dec. 3, from noon to 4 pm at the Boston Center for the Arts in South Boston.
But not without controversy.
Originally Trojan wanted to hand out sex toy products at Boston's City Hall Plaza, but officials quickly banned that idea, saying that City Hall Plaza is a family oriented area and it wouldn't be appropriate.
The Boston Globe reports that Trojan found a new venue in South Boston: the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts, and it will give out samples of two products from its pleasure cart while supplies last on Monday, Dec. 3, between noon and 4 p.m.
Both Trojan and the BCA say that there is nothing wrong with the event as it will be inside in a private building, and the promoters will be checking IDs at door.
What do you think? Do you think an event like this is OK to promote and put on publicly? Or should there be some sort of guidelines that prevent an event like this to take place in the public eye? Tell us what you think in the comments section.
4:38 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012
I saw a clip of this on the news. The item in question appeared to be in a somewhat small, descrete box. The clip did not show how this give away was being advertised (signs, pictures, etc). IF there was no overtly sexual pictures or words on the signs or other advertising and IF children were not permitted in the general area, I don't see an issue.
Also, if the item is what I think it was, I don't think it falls into a "toy" category per se. For over a year It has been advertised, in good taste, on the TV late evening and in the early AM hours. It is sold in some popular stores, right on the shelves, not hidden behind the counter. The packaging is such that unless you pick it up and read the "fine print" you don't really know exactly what it is; no sexual pictures or wording on the front on the box.
Sex is a normal, natural part of being an adult human being. What adults do in the privacy of their homes is no one's business. If the marketing of items is done in good taste and aimed towards adults, people really need to lighten up a bit.

ABSOLUTELY NOT! Where are the Morals of people! This is disgusting & incouraging sex with anyone and saying it's OK! WRONG! I raided my kids to say "NO" and that's the way it should be...PERIOD! You young kids are in for a rude awakening as you get older! STD...unwanted pregnancy (but that's ok too..just abort..Obama said it's OK) and don't think just because you have PROTECTION that it won't happen...IT WILL! Shame on these left wing radicals who promote this crap!!

Geez, get a grip. We're talking about a marketing tool for an adult product. Did you even bother to find out what said item is (HINT: it's not condoms, which all high schoolers are familiar with)? This item DOES NOT promote sexual promiscuity.
What's with your "you young kids...." rant? I'm retired and tend to be a conversative, not some deranged wack-o. I'm also mature enough to recognize that sex is a normal, natural part of being a human being. I agree children/teens should be taught limits, responsibility, impulse control and consequences of sex before their mental maturity is developed enough to make an informed decision.
However, what adults choose to do (or buy) is hardly anyone's business.

Deanie no one is making you get one so relax. Saying no does't always work . If a kid wants to have sex he or she will. That's why its important to teach kids about safe sex.Also no one that I know of from the DNC is handing these things out so I really don't how you came up with that one.

Well, in a small town on the Cape, there are people on Main street handing out pictures of our President with a Hitler moustache painted on. So, I cannot really imagine a sex toy in a discreet box being a problem

LWN.net Weekly Edition for June 13, 2013
A report from pgCon 2013
Please show me a process where a business (like LWN) can obtain a cert for free from StartCOM -- without pretending that they are an individual.
Until then I will consider the cited as widely spread misinformation.
Fraudulent certificates in the wild — again

Another free certificate busted

Also worth noting is that for those $60 (or $120 if you are particular about the metadata) you get to issue an unlimited number of certificates, including wildcard- and SAN-certificates, for an unlimited number of domains, during a 350 day period, and each certificate is valid for 2 years.
I have yet to find any other place that offer even a single 2-year wildcard- or SAN-certificate at that price. Single-host certificates can be had cheaper at other places, but those are free at StartSSL (even for organizations, if you are not particular about the metadata).
(Note that I'm in no way affiliated with StartSSL or StartCom Ltd, Iäm just a satisfied customer.)
Posted Jan 20, 2013 21:59 UTC (Sun) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
Actually, you are allowed to get free and/or individual validation (at $60) certificates from startssl.com for use by an organization, but if you don't pay the extra $60 for organizational validation the certificate will only list the individual admin's name (who they considered their customer), not the organization's name, in the certificate metadata. That metadata is not particular important, however. For example, the lwn.net certificate belongs to "GeoTrust Inc." (the issuing vendor) according to its metadata...
I don't know what you're calling metadata, but what tells to whom a certificate belongs is its "subject" attribute. The subject attribute has various components, the two most important being "common name" ("CN") and "organization" ("O"). The lwn.net certificate belongs to common name "lwn.net" and unspecified organization. In contrast, the certificate offered by www.bankofamerica.com belongs to common name "www.bankofamerica.com" and organization "Bank of America Corporation."
In the lwn.net certificate, GeoTrust is the "issuer" attribute.
I couldn't tell from the startssl.com certificate just what its $60 product is, but as the description includes the phrase "organization validation," I presume that product has both the CN and O field filled in, whereas the free product has only CN (like lwn.net). I know it can't be that the $60 product's Issuer attribute indicates the Startssl customer. The Issuer attribute has to identify Startssl.
You seem to say that the free certificate includes the individual admin's name. I can't see how that can be, since Startssl has no credible way to know the admin's name. Email address, maybe.
Posted Jan 20, 2013 22:46 UTC (Sun) by cortana (subscriber, #24596) [Link]
That is correct. They (in my case) also filled in E, L, ST and C.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 16:10 UTC (Mon) by Jonno (subscriber, #49613) [Link]
Actually, both individual validation ($60) and organizational validation ($60+$60) will include O, L, ST, C and emailAddress, but for individual validation, O will contain the name of the individual validated, not the organization for which the individual works. I.e. for lwn.net the difference is whether it would contain "O=Jonathan Corbet" or "O=Eklektix, Inc.".
A free certificate from StartSSL will only contain CN, C and emailAddress.

Just because a field was filled in, or nor filled in, it doesn't tell you how much effort went into validating the information that's in those fields.
this is the same thing as mistaking precision (lots of numbers after the decimal) for precision (how accurate those numbers are)
The fact that you can't tell this information from a cert, is one of the major problems with the current CA concept.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 1:48 UTC (Mon) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
you are mixing up fields filled in, and information validated
No, I'm not. I suspect you read something into what I wrote that I didn't intend, for you to think that. (A weird brain slip may have contributed - I wrote "I couldn't tell from Startssl's certificate" where I meant to say, "from Startssl's web site").
I meant to explore what is the difference between Startssl's free and $60 product. The customer isn't going pay more to have himself scrutinized harder and get the same certificate in the end. The difference therefore must consist, ultimately, in what fields are filled in.
Whether the information in those fields is true, or the certificate authority expended effort to be sure it's true, is a whole different conversation.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 2:13 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
All that matters in there is one other bit set (in what field I don't know), in the BofA cert that says "this is an extended validation cert", which means that the cabal of CA vendors promise that they actually validate who the cert belongs to, and they set the rules that prohibit anyone other than that handful of (I think 5) vendors from issuing any certs that set that "extended validation" bit
The people who buy the extended validation certs do pay a LOT more to have themselves scrutinized more, in exchange the browser puts the green bar when browsing to the site. This gives everyone involved the warm and fuzzies and makes them think that they are more secure.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:08 UTC (Mon) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link]
what fields are filled in do not really matter.
Nonetheless, all the evidence is that having fields filled is in fact what people are buying with Startssl's $60 product. That product is not an EV certificate.
The people who buy the extended validation certs do pay a LOT more to have themselves scrutinized more, in exchange the browser puts the green bar when browsing to the site.
I would say they're paying to have the browser put the green bar up (more specifically, they're paying for an EV certificate). If they failed to be scrutinized more in the process, they wouldn't exactly demand a refund.
I think there probably is value, by the way, in having the Organization field filled in in a non-EV certificate. To the extent that a browser user pays any attention to the certified identity at all, many probably realize that even a non-EV certificate has some verification of the information and give the web site correspondingly higher respect if the name of the organization is vouched for than if only the domain name is.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:19 UTC (Mon) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link]
umm, the CA organizations don't fill out any of these fields, they are filled out by the org that submits the signing request.
The fact that LWN.net's cert doesn't list an organization doesn't tell you anything other than the fact that the LWN cert request didn't have that information in it when it was submitted to the CA
For example, StartSSL will ignore the metadata in the certificate request, (only using its public key) and instead use the CN (common name) and subjectAlternateName from the web form used to make the request, and O, L, ST, C, emailAddress (organization, location, state, country, email) from the validation they did of you.
For EV certificates, all certificate vendors promise (to the browser vendor) to do this, and additionally to do a slightly more thorough validation than what StartSSL does for normal certificates, but the principle is the same.
Posted Jan 21, 2013 9:51 UTC (Mon) by anselm (subscriber, #2796) [Link]
Actually, there is no »extended validation cert« bit. The way a browser recognises an EV certificate is that it has a list of all the vendors (there's about 25 of them now, not 5) that issue EV certificates, together with a special OID – different for each vendor – that that particular vendor will reference in an EV certificate's Certificate Policies extension field. When a certificate from one of the EV certificate vendors comes in, the browser checks that certificate's CP extension field against the list entry for that vendor, and if there is a match, then the certificate is considered an EV certificate.
This tricky method makes it nearly impossible for vendors outside the cabal – or indeed entities who operate their own internal CAs – to offer certificates that look like EV certificates and are treated by browsers as such. If you want to join the cabal, you essentially need to convince the browser makers (by filing large amounts of expensive paperwork) that you're crossing every t and dotting every i, and they will include your magic OID in their list of EV certificate issuers.

After the furious four games played in five days before the holidays, the Havre Blue Ponies boys' basketball team has had some time to prepare.
The Ponies (3-3) will host the Great Falls High Bison tonight at the Havre High School gymnasium.
"They are a very athletic team that relies on transition," head coach Dennis Murphy said. "That has been their mainstay ever since Coach Lucero has been there."
Because of the fast break style of ball, the Ponies will need to hustle down court defensively.
"We really need to get back on defense," Murphy said. "And, when we get the ball they are going to put some pressure on us."
Havre entered the lengthy Christmas break behind two straight losses. The Ponies fell to District 2B Glasgow 64-52 on the road, and then to Class A rival Lewistown, 73-71.
But the Ponies are at home for only the second time this season and they will be looking for the win.
"I felt that, before the break, we had, in our half-court defense, three guys defending well and two guys taking a break. We need to have five guys who can defend," Murphy said. "
The Ponies are led offensively by senior Ricky Brown, who averages 19.3 points per game.
Senior Landen Grant is also in double figures, averaging 12.2 points per game. Grant, at 6-foot-3, also averages 8.5 rebounds per game. At Lewistown, Grant tore down 12 boards in the effort.
Nate Baltrusch, also a senior, leads the Ponies in assists, averaging 5.7 per game. He also averages 11.2 points per game, and 3.8 steals per contest.
Ryan Fink and Chris Young are also scrappy players in the frontcourt, while Nick Crawford, at 6-foot-3, Cliff Cooper, at 6-foot-4, and Jesse Suek, at 6-foot-3, are big inside.
Sophomore Danny Wirtzberger and junior Scott Rice have come off the bench strong for Havre in the early season.
But Havre fans will see a little different lineup tonight.
Suek, Grant, Cooper, Fink, and Baltrusch will get the start for the Ponies.
With the bigger lineup, the Ponies will focus more on a zone defense.
The Ole Goat is also on the line tonight.
The Bison Fieldhouse has been the home of the Ole Goat since 1991-92. The goat, an encased wood carving done by a deaf mute more than 70 years ago, symbolizes the court master of the Blue Pony-Bison series each season. Whoever sweeps the series houses the goat until the next matchup.
"It's pretty neat," Murphy said, "and it would be nice to get it back. However, my concern is to get a better basketball team on the court than what we now represent. If I had to choose between a the Ole Goat and a trip to the state tournament, I would choose state."
The Bison (1-2) entered the holidays coming off a 31-point drubbing from Helena High.
"They are kind of like corralled colts," Murphy said about the Bison. "They are just itching to get out and run."
Tip-off time is 7:30 p.m.

A Bunch of Good Stuff!
So, I've really been liking a ton of the Progressive House tracks that I've been hearing lately. A lot of these have a nice chill feel to them but still have that up-beat house feeling to them. My favorite of those is probably the "By Tonight" remix by Nilson & The 8th Note. Then there's a remix by Dyro of R3hab's "The Bottle Song" which is killer. They're all so good, just listen. There's a bit of everything in there, see what you like. Enjoy!

"I just wanted to thank all our fans who voted and asked for others to support Save-A-Pet in the Toshiba for Good Helping the Helpers contest. With your efforts, Save-A-Pet won the contest and $100,000 of equipment! Please know that your support has helped us in a very important way by allowing us to have computers that actually work, a stable network, and we can once again swipe credit cards. This is life changing for us here at Save-A-Pet. Thank you so much!"
Erica Wyatt – Executive Director
Save-A-Pet National Finalist For Toshiba Technology Grant
We need your help! Computers that shut down in mid-use; a copier that makes illegible copies; a credit card machine that refuses to accept swiped credit cards – these are just a few of the technology troubles Save-A-Pet deals with on a daily basis.
"We raise money to support our mission and most of our donations are used to care for the animals we rescue and house. It is difficult for us to fund technology upgrades," says Executive Director, Erica Wyatt. "When this opportunity arose, we looked at one of our volunteers (Julie, who owns her production company, Cooperland Productions) to help us put this video together. Julie donated her skills and time to produce our own video."
Of the over 70 video entries submitted for the contest, Save-A-Pet's entry, "A Paw Behind: A Tale of Failed Technology", was selected as a national finalist and now enters a fan voting period with four other entrants.
Every day between now and March 10th, Facebook users can vote daily for Save-A-Pet's video at https://apps.facebook.com/helpingthehelpers/contests/300419/voteable_entries/64244078
The Toshiba Helping the Helpers Technology Grant is a fun way for the community to get involved and to show their support for Save-A-Pet with just a simple click of a button. Not to mention, a $100,000 worth of technology would be life changing for Save-A-Pet. Thank you for making it happen and make sure to vote every day!
12/31/2012 - Life changing day for Caboose!
Meet Caboose! He is a charming 6 year old male Chihuahua mix. When a local resident found him struggling to walk along side some train tracks on New Year's Eve, she brought him to Save-A-Pet. We were happy to accept him as our last incoming animal of 2012. Caboose was below his ideal weight, but even more concerning was that he was not able to use his hind legs properly. Although a bit shy and shaken up at first, he was friendly with the staff, even letting them pick him up.
Upon his first vet exam he was diagnosed with grade 4 luxated patellas on both legs. Caboose's knee caps are essentially permanently popped out of their groove, and the muscles in his legs are stuck in a contracted state due to the neglect of this issue for such a long time. The vet recommends a lot of physical therapy to get his muscles "un-stuck", and once that is improved; he can have surgery to repair his knee caps.
Check him out in this video
With patience, some physical therapy, and a lot of tender loving care, we hope that once Caboose heals from his surgery, he will be able to use his back legs like any other little dog. He is already gaining weight and has made lots of volunteer, staff, and canine friends. He has become a playful little dog always ready for a new adventure. Caboose is hoping to find a family that will help him heal through our Foster to Adopt program. Save-A-Pet's Foster to Adopt Program will continue to support Caboose with his medical care and physical therapy while he enjoys adjusting to his new "forever" home.
If you or someone you know is interested in adding Caboose to their family, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call us at 847-740-7788.
If you are interested in supporting Caboose's rehabilitation and care, please click the following link to donate to our Animals with Special Needs: https://saveapetil.ejoinme.org/MyPages/RegistrationPage/tabid/266614/Default.aspx
Let me be your one and only!
"The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be." Konrad Lorenz
Do you want to find this lasting bond with a true dog? Do you have the patience and compassion to help a dog adjust to a new home? If you do, Save-A-Pet has some special dogs waiting to meet you. They are being overlooked for the simple reason that they need a low-key home without young children or other dogs/cats. During regular business hours, Save-A-Pet's staff and trained volunteers are available to help you find your "true" dog. You can spend as much time as you'd like to meet a variety of dogs. An appointment outside our regular hours can be made if it works better for your schedule. Every adoption of one of these special dogs, between now and the holidays, includes a half price adoption fee, $5 coupon towards a bag of food, favorite toy, and (for the holidays) your adopted dog will be receiving a special gift from all of us. Trust us, your dog will be happy to see the mailman! However, the best gift of all will be you, your animal's new forever home!
Save-A-Pet Michael Shane Lechner Holiday Supply Drive
The 2012 Michael Shane Lechner Supply Stocking Stuffer:
Benefiting the dogs and cats of Save-A-Pet Adoption Center
Please help Save-A-Pet rescue and care for abandoned and neglected dogs and cats, while honoring a special friend at the same time. In 2009, Michael Shane Lechner tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident. One of Michael's closest friends was his beloved dog Cain, a very handsome American Bulldog that he rescued.
To honor Michael's memory, his family and friends made a generous donation of supplies to Save-A-Pet. Moved by such an act of kindness during their time of mourning, and to honor the memory of a dedicated pet owner, Save-A-Pet has chosen to name their annual supply drive after Michael.
Supplies can be donated or mailed anytime between today and January 5th. Supply donations are so critical to the well-being of our residents, and monies not spent on supplies can be used to save more lives.
The list of needed supplies is located below. You may also mail a check or donate online directly. Please reference "Michael's Miracle" on the memo line of the check. Thank you so much for supporting Save-A-Pet's no-kill mission, and thank you for honoring Michael.

HARTFORD — Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as "Take Five" caught listeners' ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91.
Brubeck died Wednesday morning of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment with his son Darius, said his manager Russell Gloyd. Brubeck would have turned 92 on Thursday.
Brubeck had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and was the first modern jazz musician to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine — on Nov. 8, 1954 — and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and '60s club jazz.
The seminal album "Time Out," released by the quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the best-selling jazz albums of all time. It opens with "Blue Rondo a la Turk" in 9/8 time — nine beats to the measure instead of the customary two, three or four beats.
A piano-and-saxophone whirlwind based loosely on a Mozart piece, "Blue Rondo" eventually intercuts between Brubeck's piano and a more traditional 4/4 jazz rhythm.
The album also features "Take Five" — in 5/4 time — which became the Quartet's signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond.
"When you start out with goals — mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically — you never exhaust that," Brubeck told The Associated Press in 1995. "I started doing that in the 1940s. It's still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements."
After service in World War II and study at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., Brubeck formed an octet including Desmond on alto sax and Dave van Kreidt on tenor, Cal Tjader on drums and Bill Smith on clarinet. The group played Brubeck originals and standards by other composers, including some early experimentation in unusual time signatures. Their groundbreaking album "Dave Brubeck Octet" was recorded in 1946.
The group evolved into the Quartet, which played colleges and universities. The Quartet's first album, "Jazz at Oberlin," was recorded live at Oberlin College in Ohio in 1953.
Ten years later, Joe Morello on drums and Eugene Wright on bass joined with Brubeck and Desmond to produce "Time Out." Continued...
In later years Brubeck composed music for operas, ballet, even a contemporary Mass.
In 1988, he played for Mikhail Gorbachev, at a dinner in Moscow that then-President Ronald Reagan hosted for the Soviet leader.
"I can't understand Russian, but I can understand body language," said Brubeck, after seeing the general secretary tapping his foot.
In the late 1980s, Brubeck contributed music for one episode of an eight-part series of television specials, "This Is America, Charlie Brown."
His music was for an episode involving NASA and the space station. He worked with three of his sons — Chris on bass trombone and electric bass, Dan on drums and Matthew on cello — and included excerpts from his Mass "To Hope! A Celebration," his oratorio "A Light in the Wilderness," and a piece he had composed but never recorded, "Quiet As the Moon."
"That's the beauty of music," he told the AP in 1992. "You can take a theme from a Bach sacred chorale and improvise. It doesn't make any difference where the theme comes from; the treatment of it can be jazz."
In 2006, the University of Notre Dame gave Brubeck its Laetare Medal, awarded each year to a Roman Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity."
At the age of 88, in 2009, Brubeck was still touring, in spite of a viral infection that threatened his heart and made him miss an April show at his alma mater, the University of the Pacific.
By June, though, he was playing in Chicago, where the Tribune critic wrote that "Brubeck was coaxing from the piano a high lyricism more typically encountered in the music of Chopin."
More acclaim came his way when it was announced that he would be a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors at a ceremony in late 2009. Continued...
Brubeck told the AP the announcement would have delighted his late mother, Elizabeth Ivey Brubeck, a classical pianist who was initially disappointed by her youngest son's interest in jazz. (He added that she had lived long enough to come to appreciate his music.)
Born in Concord, Calif., on Dec. 6, 1920, Brubeck actually had planned to become a rancher like his father. He attended the College of the Pacific (now the University of the Pacific) in 1938, intending to major in veterinary medicine and return to the family's 45,000-acre spread.
But within a year Brubeck was drawn to music. He graduated in 1942 and was drafted by the Army, where he served — mostly as a musician — under Gen. George S. Patton in Europe. At the time, his Wolfpack Band was the only racially integrated unit in the military.
In an interview for Ken Burns' PBS miniseries "Jazz," Brubeck talked about playing for troops with his integrated band, only to return to the U.S. to see his black bandmates refused service in a restaurant in Texas.
Brubeck and his wife, Iola, had five sons and a daughter. Four of his sons — Chris on trombone and electric bass, Dan on drums, Darius on keyboards and Matthew on cello — played with the London Symphony Orchestra in a birthday tribute to Brubeck in December 2000.
"We never had a rift," Chris Brubeck once said of living and playing with his father. "I think music has always been a good communication tool, so we didn't have a rift. We've always had music in common."

DOBSON — The only thing louder than the laughter of children and the band's music at the Building Healthy Families event Friday at the Old Surry County courthouse on Crutchfield Street was the moment of silence following the names of 24 victims read by County Child Protection Team member Becky Johnson. She said this number of young lives claimed by violence was an increase over last year's statewide total of 19.
Johnson estimated the amount of children participating in the activities Friday at 1,000 students, with the addition of two schools. She said around 800 students participated in activities last year.
"We encouraged them to come back later in the afternoon with their parents," said Johnson. "The main thing is they get the information and get it home to parents We want to continue as a community to carry on this conversation we have had all week in classrooms about child abuse and its prevention."
She noted the T-shirts designed for this year's effort are about children: Telling others what is happening that makes them frightened, Asking a trusted adult to help, Listening to their suggestions and Keeping on with this until someone listens and acts (TALK).
Mountain Park and Rockford school counselor Amy Hutto said children had come forward to talk about things happening at home. She explained children must have the confidence to keep talking with people until someone listens. Hutto said following the child abuse prevention lessons in class, one student talked with a classmate who told their parent. The parent next brought the situation to the attention of authorities and a bad situation was prevented from getting worse.
"We even helped them to practice using 911 (in child abuse situations)," said Hutto. "Change can happen. Kids need to know what a healthy home is."
Johnson prefaced the moment of silence by telling the crowd the importance of standing together to talk as a community.
"In lessons learned this week (in class) we have learned to TALK," said Johnson. "By being here today we are telling the county we stand up for children. What can we do to keep children out of harms way? This is certainly worth a conversation."
Sheriff Graham Atkinson read a proclamation declaring April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. This measure was signed by Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Eddie Harris. Judge Spencer Key also was present for the proclamation. Atkinson read from the proclamation stating children are vital to the state's future success, prosperity and quality of life.
"All children deserve to have the safe, stable, nurturing homes and communities they need to foster their healthy growth and development," read Atkinson. "Child abuse and neglect is a community responsibility affecting both the current and future quality of life of a community."
The measure also noted that effective child abuse prevention strategies succeed because of partnerships among citizens, human service agencies, schools, faith communities, health-care providers, law enforcement, civic organizations and businesses.
Mount Airy Chick-fil-A Operator Chad Tidd also spoke at the event. Johnson said Tidd's restaurant has printed up special coupons for participants in recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month. Tidd told the audience he had found business principles represent values in a community.
"I consider it a huge privilege to be a part of this community. Communication is key in business and for community," said Tidd. "That is why I chose to be a Chick-fil-A operator five years ago. It all began with S. Truett Cathy's small grill in Atlanta where he believed all customers should be treated with honor, respect and dignity."
He said business and community success all goes back to treating people with these three principles. He told the group he believes character is vital as well as chemistry with other people and a person's ability to become confident of control over the things that make us succeed.
"Child abuse is real. It's out there," said Tidd. He then thanked the Child Protection Team for helping to rally for this issue through the educational system.

Location: Virus and Prion Research Unit
Technical Abstract: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a ubiquitous and costly virus that exhibits substantial sequence and virulence disparity among diverse isolates. In this study, we compared the whole genomic sequence and virulence of 4 North American Type 2 PRRSV isolates. Among the 4 isolates, SDSU73, MN184, and NADC30 were all clearly more virulent than NADC31, and among the 3 more virulent isolates, there were subtle differences based on viral replication, lung lesions, lymphadenopathy, febrile response, decreased weight gains, and cytokine responses in the lung. Lesions consistent with bacterial bronchopneumonia were present to varying degrees in pigs infected with PRRSV, and bacteria typically associated with the porcine respiratory disease complex were isolated from the lung of these pigs. Genomic sequence evaluation indicates that SDSU73 is most similar to the nucleotide sequence of JA142, the parental strain of Ingelvac PRRS ATP, while the nucleotide sequences of NADC30 and NADC31 are more similar to strain MN184. Both the NADC30 and NADC31 isolates of PRRSV maintain the nonstructural protein 2 deletion seen in MN184, but NADC31 has two additional 15 and 36 nucleotide deletions, and these strains are 8-14% different on a nucleotide basis from the MN184 strain. Combined with the differing levels of attenuation, these results indicate specific genomic determinants of virulence are elusive and almost certainly complex.

A family member says the 61-year-old artist, who was born Wayne Roberts, was suffering from complications of liver disease and passed away Monday in the Bronx.
The artist was arrested in 1973 after New York magazine included a photo of him in a feature on the subway graffiti movement.
Following a long hiatus, Roberts returned to the art scene in 2000 after being recognized by a new generation of artists.
A wake for Roberts will be held Monday at the Unity Funeral Chapel in Manhattan.

Is it easy to host a jsp website like PHP? Is the server open source like Apache? and What is the best server for jsp?

for first shot - memory, i think php will be extremely happy with 64MB, JSP starts with 40MB up to gigabytes depending on chosen technologies |
PHP is generally more of an accessible language to beginners or casual web programmers than JSP. Therefore hosting tends to be much more common and also, therefore cheaper. JSPs are a special type of Java servlet. These run in a servlet container. In a paid for hosting environment this will typically be Apache Tomcat. This is open source. I'd expect any decent Tomcat hosting company to have a setup where deployment is no more difficult than PHP. If you want to look into basic JSP hosting look for shared (rather than private) Tomcat instance options. |

What's it like working at the Olympics?
30 days until the Olympics. Whilst the rest of London is busy organising the chaos that will encroach upon our daily lives we ask 2 of our WEXO recruits a few questions on working at the biggest sporting event in the world:
The best thing about working at the Olympic Games:
Being able to say: "I worked at the London 2012 Olympics".
The athlete you'd most like to meet…
Jessica Ennis (I love her!)
What you would change about the Olympics?
I would bring back Rugby Union and Baseball to the Olympics, two huge world sports I feel should be a part of the event.
Stephen – Deputy Venue Logistics Manager, Lee Valley White Water Centre, Herts
The best thing about working at the Olympic Games:
I think the London Olympics will carry a lot of historic value and I am honoured to be a part of the biggest sporting event on the planet.
The athlete you'd most like to meet…
I would love to meet Usain Bolt because he's the fastest man in the world and Chris Hoy since he walked away with 3 Gold medals at the last Olympics – a model of a great sportsman.
What you would change about the Olympics?
The Olympic viewing tower. I think it looks like a 6 year old has got hold of some meccano and tried to make a rollercoaster. Oh and the weather, let's hope it holds out!
Henry – DVLM, Olympic Hotel Centre, Stratford
Some home truths about the Olympics:
* Gandhi once covered the Olympics as a newspaper reporter. The 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles. We have no idea why – since it was right in the middle of his campaign for world peace – but he did.
* In 1900, in France, winners got paintings instead of gold medals. Gold, silver and bronze medals weren't given out until the third modern Olympics, in 1904. The French gave the winners paintings because they believed they were more valuable.
* The first Olympic drug suspension wasn't until 1968. At the 1968 Mexico City games, Hans-Gunnar Liljenwall, a Swedish pentathlete, was suspended because he tested positive for a banned substance. That substance: Alcohol. He drank several beers before the pentathlon… which was against the rules… so he was suspended.

WEXO and STEP have organised paid internships and training programmes with UPS at the London 2012 Olympics for over 60 graduates.
