Bacteria Involved in Sewer Pipe Corrosion Identified
Microbes corrode sewer pipes from the inside, a process that can lead to spills, bad odors, disease outbreaks, and the need for costly repairs. In a first step towards reducing the corrosion, researchers have identified the culprit microbes. The research is published in the October Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Surprisingly, they found two different communities, on the wall and the ceiling of the pipes, respectively, says first author Barry Cayford of the University of Queensland. "This separation into two different communities suggests that different types of corrosion may be taking place, and this needs to be considered in the management of the problem," says Cayford.
Earlier work had suggested that Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, microbes that oxidize hydrogen sulfide to sulfuric acid, were key constituents of the sewer pipe corrosion community. Cayford and his colleagues found that the ceiling species were instead dominated by bacteria from the genera Acidiphilium and Mycobacterium. The former species are known to grow in high acidity, where they oxidize sulfur compounds to sulfuric acid. The wall-associated genera included Xanthomonadales, Burkholderiales, Sphingobacteriales, and others.
Besides bacteria, a range of eukaryotic sequences were detected, but at low abundance, and mostly in wall-associated samples.
"The research resulted from complaints about the smell of sewer systems from people living near large sewer pipes," says Cayford. The complaints forced a major reduction in sewer pipe ventilation, which had been a method for controlling corrosion, he explains. That was the germ of the research. Cayford and his collaborators decided to study the microbiology of the corrosion, in an effort to find other ways to mitigate the problem.
"We hypothesized that we could improve on the limited knowledge of this environment through the use of state-of-the-art microbial ecology tools," says Cayford. His team sequenced the 16S ribosomal RNA genes of the microbes using high-throughput molecular ecology analysis. "The approach provides a much more detailed account of the microbes present than had been possible before." But the current research is only the first step, he says. "We aim to build on this work to deliver a much improved model of sewer corrosion."

Diakonissa is a Greek title of honor that is used to refer to a deacon's wife. It is derived from diakonos—the Greek word for deacon (literally, "server"). There does not currently seem to be any standard English equivalent, so most English-speaking Orthodox Christians will use the title most common in the old country churches from which their local family or parish finds its origin.
Diakonissa was also the term used in the ancient Church for the order of deaconess, a non-clerical order which saw to the care of women in the community.
Other languages
In Arabic, a deacon's wife is called Shamassy (derived from Shamas, Arabic for "deacon"). Romanian uses a derivative from the Greek term, Diaconiţă, as does Serbian, Djakonitsa (pronounced jack-on-itza). The Slavic tradition generally uses the same word for deacon's wife that is used for a priest's wife: Matushka (Russian), Panimatushka (Ukrainian), etc.

Abraham Lincoln went from historical icon to film star when cinema was just in its infancy, in such long-forgotten silents as 1908's "The Life of Abraham Lincoln," 1909's "The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln" and 1915's "The Life of Abraham Lincoln."
Hollywood's love affair with the 16th president of the United States has continued unabated over the decades in countless films, from D.W. Griffith's 1915 "The Birth of a Nation" to Steven Spielberg's historical epic "Lincoln," starring Daniel Day-Lewis, which opened Friday to rave reviews.
He's also been a mainstay in TV movies and miniseries, such as 1974-75's "Sandburg's Lincoln," starring Hal Holbrook in his Emmy Award-winning performance — Holbrook also appears in Spielberg's film as a conservative Republican legislator — and 1988's "Lincoln," based on Gore Vidal's bestseller, starring Sam Waterston.

"He has a whole life narrative that can be drawn from," said USC professor and cultural history expert Leo Braudy. "There is so much in the Lincoln story — the idealized version of Lincoln, the by-your-bootstraps coming out of the log cabin, the redefinition of the America in the Civil War, the assassination, domestic drama and political drama."

What do you guys think are the best free podcasts in latin, for someone who wants to complement his read/written study with an audio immersion? Preferably I need something that, although graded, is not tied to a specific course - since I'm already following one on paper and don't want to create confusion.
PS. I already know, from the searches I've done up to now, that the LATINUM podcast is universally acclaimed as the best option there is, but now it's not free of charge anymore, and although it seems reasonably priced for something as good as they say it is, my particular financial situation at this time suggests that I settle for a free product, at least for the time being.

Ezra's Animal Kingdom
Name: Ezra (8 months)
Location: Oakland, CA
Color Inspiration: Forests and meadows and the natural world. Nearly everything in Ezra's room is animal and nature-themed (his mom is a veterinarian and a wildlife ecologist), and the green walls help bring a bit of the forest into what was otherwise a drab room. The orange accents also liven things up. We live in a quite old, small apartment, and simple things like adding a coat of bright paint on the walls, painting the ugly wall radiator, and adding some warm mood lighting really helps to freshen up the space.
Tip for Using Color: Don't be afraid to be bold with color, though allow for some calming tones and areas as well.
Colors Used: Behr Premium Plus Thyme Green. The Premium Plus is nice because it includes a primer, allowing one to paint a room in two coats and one day. Also used pumpkin orange and brown.
Thanks for your colorful entry Carrie and good luck!
What's at stake? Bragging rights AND $1000 worth of prizes from P'kolino!

Report: Duffee vs. Overeem Confirmed for K-1 NYE Show
(Todd Duffee does curls for the girls and testosterone replacement therapy for his opponents. PicProps: XPE Sports)
Alistair Overeem's New Year's Eve bout with recently exiled UFC malcontent Todd Duffee is officially going down, according to a report out Thursday morning from MMA Fighting.com's Ariel Helwani. Overeem's status for the event was confirmed yesterday as rumors of the Duffee fight simultaneously began to percolate. At first it appeared the honchos at FEG wanted to keep the identity of The Reem's opponent secret – at least until they'd, we don't know, slipped Duffee through customs in a giant duffle bag marked "Perishable Goods" or something like that – but then the fighter himself let the cat out of the bag by posting (and immediately deleting) a message on his Facebook page.
Smooth move, T-Duff. Hey, since it's the holiday season, please allow us to express our heartfelt thanks for social media and the unfettered opportunity it provides fighters to broadcast the worst parts of their personalities and prematurely release time-sensitive information to the public without checking with anyone (anyone at all) beforehand.

BOSTON — An inquisitor on the campus of Boston University today asked Bruins head coach Claude Julien about his team's eight-goal eruption in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in light of the fact that his team had scored just two goals in the first games against Vancouver.
The coach, whose team trails the series 2-1 heading into Wednesday's Game 4 at TD Garden, didn't shy away from the notion that his team was struggling to score.
"Well, I don't know if I'd say it was a suggestion. I think we were having a hard time scoring. Let's not pretend that we weren't," said Julien with his new-found postseason smile. "We weren't doing the right things in regard to that. Last night was a better game. I thought we had some better-quality shots, we had better traffic in front of net. Even you saw some of those goals, we took loose pucks, instead of working the perimeter, we started taking pucks more to the net and consequently gave us goals that we were looking for since the start of the series."
The Bruins didn't practice today and instead held some off-ice press conferences. Without Nathan Horton, doing that scoring is going to be more difficult. But more on that later.

Stenhouse, Jr. Claims Pole For Sunday's AdvoCare 500 at AMS
As dusk fell Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. snuck in the fastest lap of the day at the end of the qualifying round, putting him out front for the start of Sunday's AdvoCare 500.It was Stenhouse's first career NASCAR Sprint Cup pole position, and he earned it with a lap of 189.688 mph (29.227 seconds).
"It's good to finally get something accomplished," Stenhouse said. "It was a lot of fun today, and hopefully we can run strong in the race. We've got track position starting out, which is key, especially when you're going to take four tires every time. Here at Atlanta, you don't take two tires, so it's good to have that track position."
Starting alongside him will be three-time Atlanta winner Carl Edwards, who disagreed with rookie Stenhouse about the importance of starting out front at this gritty, super-fast superspeedway.
"I think this race will change a lot throughout the event," Edwards said. "The track changes a lot through the race, and I think whatever works at the beginning of the race won't work at the end. I think you'll see a migrating groove. But it is a 500-mile race. The biggest thing is to work (Saturday) to have our cars fast on the long run. This race is always won by the guy who's good over 30 laps, and not the guy who's fast on the short runs. So yeah, qualifying's probably not as good of an indicator of race success here as it is other places. So we've got to keep working even though we've qualified well."
Rounding out the top five are Juan Pablo Montoya, Denny Hamlin and Jeff Gordon.
Georgia drivers Joey Logano and David Ragan will start 11th and 14th respectively.
Tickets for the AdvoCare 500 start at $39. Student tickets cost just $19. For more information, visit www.atlantamotorspeedway.com or call the AMS Ticket Office at (877) 9-AMS-TIX or (770) 946-4211.

Becky straightened out TC's hat and eye angle here (I did too. It's a natural assumption!)
Here is my conversation with her if it is helpful to anybody:
John: Becky?
Becky: Hi John! How are you?
John: good
John: I like your Top Cats
John: do you think you got anything from that?
Becky: yes! it helped me a lot with foreshortening
Becky: and thankyou
John: flip them around to check them
John: you should write down what you learned about solidity
John: and then apply it to a character of your own
Becky: could you explain solidity more?
John: well didn't you discover it drawing the toys?
John: the fact that the muzzle sticks out from the face for example
John: and the eyes are in perspective wrapping around a rounded head
John: and are different shapes from each other because of their positions in space
Becky: ohhh, ok
John: that when you look up or down at a 3/4 pose, certain things happen to the features
Becky: so solidity is basically form?
John: the point of copying is not just to copy but to understand what is happening in the things you are copying
John: and then to apply them to your own work
John: like draw your tiger using some of the things you learned from the toy
John: do a toy version of her
John: him?
Becky: ok, I see what you mean now
John: articulate what makes the toy look 3 dimensional
Becky: should I do a turnaround sheet?
John: sure
John: even put the seams in
John: seams on toys help you understand the construction
John: but remember this tip:
John: it's important to UNDERSTAND what you are studying or copying
John: not just to copy for copying sake
John: it's to figure out WHY things look the way they do
John: and then to APPLY that knowledge to what you do yourself - in your own work
John: then when you decide to break a rule - you are doing it on purpose
John: instead of by accident
John: you can control it better
the end
Becky believes (and practices) what a small handful of cartoonists still seem to today; that cartoons oughta look nice - they should appeal to our eyes, not just be gross and cluttered.
Her work is very stylized in an arresting way. It reminds me of one of my heroes: Jack Schleh

Sept. 10, 2010
LOS ANGELES, CA - Northern Arizona's Rebekah Schmidt netted her first goal of the season with just over five minutes remaining, snapping a 2-2 tie and lifting the Lumberjacks to a 3-2 victory over Cal State Fullerton in the first match of the 2010 Trojan Invitational hosted by USC on Friday afternoon at McAlister Field.
The loss dropped the Titans to 2-3 overall on the season despite Fullerton scoring multiple goals for the third time in five matches this season - matching its total from all of last year's 19-game slate. NAU earned its first win of the season and improved to 1-2-2 overall on the season.
Brenna Boies and Lauren Zallis earned assists on Schmidt's game-winner, which was knocked in past Titans' keeper Jordan-Michelle Santos from close range to snap the tie. Schmidt's goal came just five minutes after Fullerton had rallied to tie the match on freshman Nikki McCants' second goal of the year in the 80th minute as a corner by Caitlin Mellano was touched to the middle by Casey Volk and finished off by McCants.
Zallis got the Lumberjacks on the board in the 14th minute, sending home a shot to the left post from eight yards out off a pass from Boies for a 1-0 lead that stood up until halftime.
Fullerton senior Christina Murillo brought her side even to start the second half, netting her team-best third goal of the year in the 56th minute off a pass from sophomore Jennifer Smith to make it a 1-1 game. The score didn't remain that way for long as Kristi Andreassen regained the lead for NAU just two minutes later, scoring her third goal of the year on a header off a corner by Boies to put the Lumberjacks back up by a goal and set up the tying and winning goals in the final 10 minutes.
Northern Arizona outshot Cal State Fullerton, 12-8, including an 8-3 advantage in the opening period. Andreassen led the Lumberjacks with three shots on the day while Murillo paced the Titans with three shots of her own. Santos made five saves on the afternoon to keep her side in the match while Lauren Weaver made two saves between the pipes for NAU.
Fullerton will close out play in Los Angeles on Sunday morning (Sept. 12) at 11 a.m. as the Titans take on No. 25 Auburn at McAlister Field.

10 Years Ago: Fan Tries to Sell Paul McCartney's Germs
Ten years ago, one enterprising Paul McCartney fan decided to take a sad bout with the flu and make it better by offering the ultimate eBay rarity: some of the former Beatle's germs.
Londoner Ian Mears posted the auction after claiming to have spent time with -- and then caught the flu from -- McCartney just before the star had to cancel a concert a decade back due to illness.
"I believe this is the same strain of flu and effectively his virus," Mears told the 'Daily Star.' "I had no cold on the Saturday, then on Sunday I spent most of the afternoon with Paul, and by Tuesday I too had a cold."
There were those who were willing to cough up some cold hard cash for McCartney-infected mucus. A handful of bids actually arrived before the auction was removed by eBay. The highest at the time amounted to $1.83 -- nothing to sneeze at.
How, you may be asking, did Mears intend to pass along these germs, had the sale gone through? The old-fashioned way, of course: "The highest bidder will receive a resealable bag that I will cough into," said Mears. "Or if preferred, they can have a plastic container full of mucus."
McCartney is back on tour these days, while wrapping up his first album of original songs since 2007. He's also preparing a reissue of the 1976 live LP 'Wings Over America,' which documents McCartney's first U.S. concerts since the Beatles became a studio-only group in 1966.

"I never really thought about how we were so different," said Jen. "Just looking at this helps me understand you much more effectively. For the past two years, I thought you didn't like me, and now I recognize it has nothing to do with that."
This is a typical quote I get when people attend my DiSC (Understanding Behavioral Styles) workshops.

What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? My goal has been to only invest in items I would want to take with me when I move. There are plenty of things I would change if I owned the place, but as a renter I'm trying (somewhat successfully) to exert some willpower. I think the design element I'm most proud of is the enclosure for my two guinea pigs. I wanted to create a large space for them to roam that wasn't an eyesore, and I think the white picket fence does the trick nicely.

Feb. 18, 2014
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's DJ Stewart and Luke Weaver were named to the Golden Spikes Award preseason watch list as announced by USA Baseball.
The watch list features 60 of the nation's top amateur players, and will be a "rolling" list until May 27 — when the Golden Spikes Award semifinalists are announced — ensuring that athletes can play themselves into consideration for the award throughout the collegiate and high school seasons.
Both Seminoles have already garnered several accolades so far this season named preseason All-Americans by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
Stewart is coming off a freshman campaign in which he led the Seminoles in hits (82), batting average (.364), doubles (25) and slugging percentage (.560), while finishing second on the team with 59 RBI. For his efforts, Stewart garnered Freshman All-America accolades from Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, NCBWA and Perfect Game.
The Yulee, Fla., native started 60 games in his first season at Florida State playing all three outfield positions. Stewart closed out the season swinging a hot bat hitting .564 over his final 10 games including a .636 average in the Tallahassee Regional that landed him a spot on the All-Tournament team. Stewart played over the summer in the Cape Cod League with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox where he was named a Cape League All-Star after hitting .274 with four home runs, 11 doubles and 25 RBI in 35 games.
Weaver looks to build off a spectacular sophomore season that saw the hard throwing right hander make 15 starts with a 7-2 record and a 2.29 ERA. The DeLand, Fla., native recorded 119 strikeouts in 98.1 innings, both team-highs, while holding opponents to a .221 batting average. Weaver finished the year ranked nationally in strikeouts (11th), strikeouts per nine innings (11th, 10.89) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (13th, 6.26). He yielded just 19 walks on the year.
Weaver was dominant in his start against Troy in the Tallahassee Regional recording a career-high 14 strikeouts, the most by a Seminole pitcher since 2006, as he allowed only four hits and no walks in an 11-0 win. He was named the Most Outstanding Player of Regional following his performance. Weaver also pitched for the U.S. Collegiate National Team this past summer making five starts and posting a 2.14 ERA in 21.0 innings of work.
On April 10, USA Baseball will release its 50-man midseason watch list, shaped by USA Baseball staff and its committee of amateur baseball experts and media. On May 27, USA Baseball will announce the semifinalists for the 2014 Golden Spikes Award. The semifinalists list will be sent to a voting body consisting of past USA Baseball National Team coaches and press officers, members of the media that follow the amateur game closely, select professional baseball personnel, current USA Baseball staff and the 36 previous winners of the award, representing a group of more than 200 voters.
Fan voting will once again be a part of the Golden Spikes Award in 2014. Tuesday, May 27, marks the day when amateur baseball fans across the country will be able to vote for their favorite semifinalists at GoldenSpikesAward.com. As part of this selection process, all voters will be asked to choose three players from the list. On Tuesday, June 3, USA Baseball will announce the finalists, and voting will once again commence that same day.
Last year, University of San Diego's infielder, Kris Bryant, took home the prestigious award, joining a group of recent winners that includes Mike Zunino (2012), Trevor Bauer (2011), Bryce Harper (2010), Stephen Strasburg (2009) and Buster Posey (2008).
Other past winners of the Golden Spikes Award include Terry Francona (1980), Will Clark (1985), Jim Abbott (1987), Robin Ventura (1988), Ben McDonald (1989), Jason Varitek (1994), J.D. Drew (1997), Mark Prior (2001), Jered Weaver (2004), Tim Lincecum (2006) and David Price (2007).
Florida State leads the nation with the most Golden Spikes Award winners all-time with four – Mike Fuentes (1981), Mike Loynd (1986), JD Drew (1997) and Buster Posey (2008).

Sony has asked retailers to halt sales of the Xperia Tablet S due to a manufacturing defect which compromises the tablet's resistance to liquids. According to Sony's press release, the device's "splash-proof" performance has been compromised by a manufacturing defect which created a gap in the rear display panel. For now, Sony is not issuing an official recall of the tablets which have already been sold. Instead, they are offering an inspection and free repair to consumers if their tablet does incur water damage. Until this matter is resolved, we suggest you refrain from using your Xperai Tablet S while in the pool or standing in the rain.
Out of curiosity, have any of you purchased the Sony Xperia Tablet S?

New Car Review Video
2013 Kia Soul: New Car Review Video
Those hamsters are cute in the 2013 Kia Soul commercials, but the Soul is not a new concept. Thanks to the old VW Microbus, which started the "youth market" revolution of a compact box-shaped car, many manufacturers have conquered the genre or are just trying to make an impact in this growing market. The new generation of econo-boxes has really transformed from the "box on wheels" attitude to something that is more hip, cool and technology filled, and that pretty much describes the 2013 Soul.
Rounded corners, wild exterior color choices and stylish wheel options easily make the Soul a top contender against other compact box-shaped vehicles, including the Scion xB, Mini Cooper Clubman or Nissan Cube.
Inside, the Kia Soul's interior has enough headroom for four average-sized adults even though there are seat belts for five. The back seat is narrow and has three inches less legroom than the front, but it's fine for short trips.
On long drives, however, cargo space is lacking if the rear seat is occupied. With only around 19 cu ft of cargo space, one needs to be pretty sophisticated to pack the Soul efficiently. With the rear seats down though, the Kia Soul can carry over 53 cu ft of almost anything!
The 2013 Soul is available in three trim levels and has option packages like Premium and ECO that allow the Soul to be outfitted just about any way you want. One of the best options the Kia Soul offers is the Microsoft UVO system, which allows for voice activation and control of your Bluetooth-enabled phone, streaming of music and apps from a smartphone, and control of your iPod or Zune.
Just like the original VW Microbus, the Kia Soul doesn't have much power, but there are two inline-4 engines to choose from, including a 1.6-liter, 138-horsepower or a 2-liter, 164-hp. Two 6-speed transmissions are also available, but the standard manual transmission is rubbery and vague, so we recommend going for the automatic.
Fuel economy is just average by today's standard. To maximize your fuel dollars, your best bet is the Base model. Regardless which transmission you choose, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the 2013 Soul at 25 miles per gallon city and 30 mpg highway. To help mileage on more equipped versions of the Soul that include the larger 2.0-liter engine, Kia introduced the optional ECO package with the ISG system, or its own start-stop system that shuts the engine off at traffic lights or in stop-and-go traffic.
Despite the average fuel economy, there are three very good reasons to take a closer look at the Soul. First, the 2013 Soul has earned a Top Safety Pick ranking by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Second, the Soul's base sticker price of under $15,000 makes its competitors nervous. Finally, the Soul is covered by the best powertrain warranty around: 10 years, 100,000 miles.
All compact box-shaped vehicles on the market today offer their own personalities, such as the trendy Scion xB with a sweet body kit or the Nissan Cube with its rounded rear glass, but the 2013 Kia Soul is funky, loaded with hi-tech features, and goes way above and beyond than where the original Microbus left off.

David Hirshey writes regularly for Deadspin about soccer.
Is it too early to gloat about England's failure to qualify for the World Cup? What's that you say? The draw for the 2010 World Cup qualifying was only announced yesterday? So technically no one has been eliminated yet. But really, now that they've proven themselves to be Euro trash, how can England possibly cope with the greatest country in the world, the number one exporter of potassium and prostitutes, the Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, which has been drawn into the Three Lions' group. Wait, there is one way: Borat for England!
Hey, not only would he throw the Jews down the well, he might also defenestrate the whole so-called Golden Generation of Beckham, Gerrard and Lampard that left Wembley on Wednesday with their pants bunched around their ankles and a big steaming pile of dung on the cowpatch that passed for a 800 million pound pitch.
Seriously, could Borat do any worse than that clown McClaren who was so afraid of getting his hair — or whatever that quiff on the top of his head is supposed to be — wet that he took cover under an umbrella during the Croatia game. This, after hiding in the bathroom a week ago for the last 15 minutes of the Israel-Russia match, because he couldn't bear to watch the agonizing denouement of England's Euro campaign. At least Borat would have the balls to brave the elements, especially in his trademark wrestling outfit, and challenge the ref on any calls he didn't like: "Are you trying to tell me that man who tried to put a rubber fist up Rooney's anus is not homosexual?"
Plus, you know I love a man with a mustache thicker than mine.
Of course, Borat would not only have to figure out a way to beat his native Kazakhs, but everybody's favorite anti-semites, those gifted Croats, who, thanks to FIFA's sick sense of humor, are also in England's group. Ha! And let's not forget the Sheva-led Ukranianians who somehow reached the quarterfinals of last year's World Cup by boring opponents to sleep and the Belarussians who, if nothing else, boast the tricky genius of Arsenal's Alexander Hleb.
Yes, you can make the case that England got lucky in that they avoided Euro's Big Four — France, Italy, Spain or Germany — but at this point England would struggle with the USA's draw, which kicks off with a two-game roadkill series next June against Dominica or Barbados, ranked 189th and 124th respectively. How long before the English FA petitions FIFA for admission into CONCACAF?
Whether Fabio Capello, Jose Mourinho, Martin O'Neill, or yours truly (hey, I'll put my coaching record up against anyone: HC United is undefeated in its last 34 MetroSoccer League games and recently thrashed the New York Times 5-0!) is stupid enough to take the job of leading the Three Lions out of its sinkhole of humiliation, one thing is certain: It is time to say "Fuck off" to several of the team's signature players. Beckham, to his credit, made the one good pass England could muster Wednesday when his perfectly weighted cross found Crouch in the box, but his broken down chassis can no longer handle the pace of international competition. Lampard, by my count, kicked the ball twice (OK, so one was the PK), but he was as influential in midfield as I was sober on Thanksgiving. Gerrard, so lethal for Liverpool as evidenced by his surface- to-air free kick missile Saturday against Newcastle, can't impose his muscular stamp on the international game, partly because he was never sure of his role under McClaren. And is there any more tedious exercise than waiting for Michael Owen to recover from injury and reclaim his 2002 form?
The problem is that once you've used c-4 on the current foundation of the England team, what exactly is left standing? Rooney, of course, is still only 22, and has a brighter publishing career than, say, JT Leroy. Micah Richards is already a defensive colossus at 19. But what about the rest of the England's next generation of overhyped, undertalented prodigies? Scott Carson? His goalkeeping blunder against Croatia in his England debut was pure comedy gold and judging from his first save against Boro on Saturday — a sliced clearance that almost flew into his own goal — he is still suffering from Post-Traumatic Euro Stress Syndrome. Shaun Wright Phillips? Has he ever met a cul-de-sac he didn't want to run toward? Lennon, Agbonlahor, Ashley Young? All have shown flashes of promise but are untested on the world stage. Would you book a ticket to South Africa based on their potential?
That's why Borat is the only man for the job of England coach. He would come without any sentimental baggage and could evaluate the players with a gimlet eye. You can almost hear him saying to the British tabloid hacks, "How dare you make hand party over Theo Wolcott?"

Case Centers on Racist Supervisor Involved in Firing Black Employee, Agency Says
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – In a significant legal victory for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Denver-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit has reversed a New Mexico lower court's dismissal of a race discrimination lawsuit brought by the EEOC against BCI Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Los Angeles (BCI) – which owns Phoenix Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Albuquerque.
In its litigation, the EEOC charges BCI with committing race discrimination against Stephen Peters, an African American employee of the Albuquerque facility, when it fired him for not working his scheduled day off, even though he had called in sick and provided medical documentation. The federal district court in Albuquerque had previously dismissed the case on a summary judgment ruling.
In its decision, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that EEOC may proceed to trial on the race discrimination claim, filed under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The court found that a jury might reasonably conclude that Peters' termination was based on his race because there was evidence that one of his supervisors, Cesar Grado, treated African Americans more harshly than other employees. EEOC asserts that Grado made such racial remarks as: "Black guys don't look good in trucks, they should drive Cadillacs" and "Brothers don't like the cold."
In its opinion, the court observed that, "In making the decision to terminate...the human resources official relied exclusively on information provided by Mr. Peters' immediate supervisor, who not only knew Mr. Peters' race but allegedly had a history of treating black employees unfavorably and making disparaging racial remarks in the workplace."
The court further noted, "[h]olding employers accountable for the actions of biased subordinates also advances the purposes of Title VII." Additionally, the court pointed out that in a similar situation, a non-African American employee was neither fired nor disciplined by Grado after failing to show up for work as directed – as well as not calling in and not responding to repeated pages.
"We are pleased with the decision by the court of appeals and look forward to presenting the evidence in this case to a jury," said EEOC Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill, who oversees litigation for the agency's Albuquerque Area Office.
In its lawsuit, the EEOC seeks appropriate back wages and prejudgment interest. The Commission also seeks to provide appropriate affirmative relief necessary to eradicate the effects of Phoenix Coca-Cola Bottling Company and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Albuquerque's unlawful employment practices including, but not limited to, front pay in lieu of reinstatement and compensation for past and future pecuniary and non-pecuniary losses. Further, the EEOC seeks injunctive relief and any other curative relief to prevent any continuation of the alleged discriminatory practices.
EEOC Phoenix District Director Chester V. Bailey, said, "We are committed to ensuring that justice is served in this case. Unfortunately, race discrimination continues to be a problem in the 21st century workplace, more than 40 years after passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act."
The EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, race, color, religion, or national origin. The Commission also enforces Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's Web site at www.eeoc.gov.

These utterances come closer to something my modern European ears would prefer. I wonder how others' experiments along these lines have turned out.

Center for Learning and Leadership Staff Update For the past seven years, Doris Erhart has coordinated the Self‐Directed Services (SDS) project at the Center for Learning and Leadership. She recently completed that work, which included: educating others about the 2005 Oklahoma Self‐Directed Care Act, developing and implementing a Self‐Directed Services training curriculum in partnership with the Developmental Disabilities Services Division (DDSD) of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and co‐chairing the Self‐Directed Services Advisory Committee. In her work, Doris provided a model of parent‐professional partnerships and empowered family members and people with disabilities to advocate for themselves and others. We are sad to say good‐bye as she leaves the Center for Learning and Leadership but expect to work alongside her in future advocacy activities on behalf of people with disabilities and their families. We want to share some thoughts that Doris recently imparted:
No matter what the diagnosis may be, if we work together we can make a difference. Changing the system takes a long, long time and sometimes you must move backward to move forward. To all of you I've met over the past few years, I'm glad we met, and I plan to see you around.

I have lived in Maryland longer than I have lived anywhere else, going on 25 years and counting.
I've been to Florida only twice. I LOVE the Everglades, and perhaps I'd like the keys if I were to go there. You can pretty much keep the rest.
Wow, get a grip man. Its too HOT. That's all. I hate the heat. The Everglades is worth the heat for me to see the wildlife. Actually, I've enjoyed most of what I've seen in Florida. But its still too hot. I suffer in the heat.
I think it's quite plain who's doing the whining here Nam.
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Traveler never made any objective claims about Florida. Saying 'you can keep the rest' just means that she personally is not interested or keen on most of Florida. Instead of going off half-cocked you could have asked her to explain it further. I know you're an asshole, but it would be nice if you took a holiday once in a while.
She did explain "it's too hot" -- idiotic. To your last point: I don't care. I speak my mind, don't care who you are, if I read or someone say something I find idiotic, I will say something. That's me: live with it, I do.

Most (or at least much) of Florida is subtropical. I would detest living there, though visiting would be okay, and yes, because it would be too hot during the summer, and a rainy hot to boot.By the way, I've lived in both Nebraska and Oklahoma, both of which also get quite hot during the summer, but generally are dry overall. I dislike it when it's too humid or wet, and I dislike it when it's too hot. Both at the same time are horrid to deal with (both places periodically get heavy rain, which is awful in 100-degree heat, and I hate it). You are more than welcome to Florida - I have no interest at all in living there, or even visiting (except during the winter, when it the heat is mostly gone).

Was a Sallie E. Whiteman born in Carbon County PA?
My grandmother's Sallie E Gruber (Sallie E Whiteman) reflects her father as unknown on her death certificate. I have searched high and low and find no record of birth with regard to her father - or a birth record for her. She is listed as being born in 1889 in Weissport, PA but there aren't any Whiteman names to be found in PA that could possibly be her father. Do you think my grandmother just took the Whiteman name since she apparently didn't know her real father? I'm at a loss -- what directions should I go next?
Thanks for you help.

THE BRONX — An off-duty police officer was shot Thursday evening as he tried to stop an armed robbery of his family's car dealership in The Bronx, police said.
Officer Juan Pichardo, a father of three, was working at the dealership, at 3040 Boston Rd., when two men, Jeffery Okine, 22, and Tyquez Harrell, 22, entered about 6:30 p.m., one carrying a Bryco .380 handgun, police and relatives said.
At first, the pair pretended to be interested in a red Altima, but soon one of the suspects pulled out the weapon and forced Pichardo and another worker down onto the floor of the dealership's office, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said during a press conference Thursday night.
"They began to ransack the office, looking for cash and the safe, all the while brandishing the weapon in Officer Pichardo's face," Kelly said.
"A few minutes after the robbery, Officer Pichardo stood up and grabbed the gunman [Okine], who fired, striking the officer in the right thigh," Kelly continued. "Despite being wounded, Officer Pichardo and the other employee wrestled the gunman to the ground and disarmed him."
Pichardo held Okine until police arrived to take the suspect into custody, Kelly added.
Harrell fled with Marquis Daniels, 23, and Rayshaun Jones, 25, who were waiting outside in a white Impala with Oregon license plates, but the three were caught shortly afterward at 183rd Street and Katonah Avenue, according to Kelly.
The four men are facing charges including attempted murder, assault, burglary and criminal possesion of a weapon, according to police.
The owner of a nearby auto body shop said police were responding to another call right down the block when the incident happened.
"I saw them running up [Boston Road], and I said to myself, 'What's going on?'" said Carlos Santos, 54, who has owned the neighboring shop for over 20 years. "But that's how they caught the guys."
Brian Tolentino, 23, Pichardo's nephew and the manager of the dealership, said he got the news in a disturbing phone call from the sales manager, who was held up along with Pichardo as Tolentino was driving a Mercedes from Pennsylvania to the dealership.
"He said, 'We just got robbed,'" Tolentino recalled. "'Juan got shot.' He was hysterical."
Pichardo was taken to Jacobi Medical Center. He is expected to survive.
Family and friends have been visiting the wounded cop since the shooting, Tolentino said.
"Everyone told me he was laughing last night," Tolentino said. "He'll bounce back for sure."
Tolentino said his uncle, who has a wife and three young children, is a caring and dedicated man.
"He loves to treat everyone fairly," Tolentino said. "He's the kind of guy who will stick more than his neck out for you."
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was at a basketball game when he heard about the incident, but left to visit Pichardo in the hospital.
"Nice guy. Couldn't be nicer. His wife was there. They have...young kids," the mayor said Friday during his weekly WOR radio show.
About an hour after the Bronx shooting, two police officers were shot in a gunfight in Brooklyn's Fort Hamilton Parkway N train station that left the suspect dead, officials said.
"We're so lucky last night," Bloomberg said. "They'll all be home in a couple of days, two of them I assume today. And it could have been so much worse."

When Ernest W. Watson was preparing to interview W. David Shaw for the October 1955 issue of American Artist, he asked Shaw to jot down a few biographical notes and send them to him. Shaw began his reply with "Born July 4, 1916, Boonville, Indiana - No talent."
The words "no talent", Watson reported, were underlined.
When writing about his early schooling, Shaw again wrote "no talent" - and again further down, when he noted the beginning of his formal art training in Chicago.
"The underlining seems to have been done with a contumacious rigor implying a challenge to anyone who supports the theory of God-given talent," wrote Watson.
Shaw believed that "a person can do anything if he wants to do it earnestly enough and if he will work hard enough for it."
"That is the way I have made my own way, knowning from boyhood days that I wanted to be an artist and consistently struggling to that end."
Shaw praised his parents for fostering his early interest in art.
"Mother played the violin and piano. She also did fancy work. She was not a copyist; she invented her own designs or took fantastic liberties with patterns that served merely as a point of departure."
His father also profoundly influenced the young David Shaw. Though the elder Shaw was a coal miner, he had ambitions for an art career. "He wanted to be a sign painter," says Shaw. "So he took an International Correspondence School course in sign painting and, venturing much, left the mines and hung out his shingle. Well, he did all right, got all the work he could do until the depression of the Thirties. I became his helper."
"In the late Twenties, while still in my early teens, I was earning seven dollars a day and was carrying a union card. Much of this money I banked against the day when I would want it for my art education."
"Those sign painting days really were thrilling. They took dad and me all around the country. We often camped out when far from home."
"And dad's shop itself was exciting; to me it seemed the very center of the town's cultural and business activity. All sorts of people came there to order signs and we seemed to be an important cog in the business life of the community."
Tragedy struck the Shaw family during Dave's sophmore year in high school. Due to the tough times of the depression, Dave's father had no choice but to return to the mines.
A week later, he was killed in a accident.

28 U.S. Code § 1448 - Process after removal
In all cases removed from any State court to any district court of the United States in which any one or more of the defendants has not been served with process or in which the service has not been perfected prior to removal, or in which process served proves to be defective, such process or service may be completed or new process issued in the same manner as in cases originally filed in such district court.
This section shall not deprive any defendant upon whom process is served after removal of his right to move to remand the case.
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., § 83 (Apr. 16, 1920, ch. 146, 41 Stat. 554).
Words "district court of the United States" were substituted for "United States Court," because only the district courts now possess jurisdiction over removed civil and criminal cases.
Changes were made in phraseology.

For 50 years the accreditation process has grown to keep pace with changes in the camp industry, expectations of the public, and the challenges of operating a business in today's highly regulated society.
American Camp Association standards help you with every aspect of your camp management and operation:
- Site: fire protection, building maintenance, food service, sleeping quarters.
- Transportation: procedures concerning drivers, vehicles, and traffic on site.
- Health and Wellness: staff qualifications, facilities requirements, record keeping, storage and distribution of medicines, contact information, health forms.
- Operational Management: Safety regulations, emergency communication systems, procedures for intruders, personal property regulations.
- Human Resources: staff qualifications, training, supervision ratios, and procedures.
- Program Activities: aquatics, adventure/challenge, trips, horseback riding, staff qualifications for special programs.
Mandatory standards include requirements for emergency exits, first aid, aquatic-certified personnel, storage and use of flammables and firearms, emergency transportation, and obtaining appropriate health information.
To see a brief summary of the standards, take a look at the Standards At A Glance.
A variety of materials are available to help you understand and comply with ACA standards.
What Accreditation Can and Can't Do
While standards focus on health , safety and risk management practices, accreditation cannot guarantee that the camper will be absolutely free from harm. Accreditation can indicate to the public that the camp administration has voluntarily allowed its practices to be compared with the standards established by professionals in the camping industry. At least once every three years an outside team of trained camping professionals visits the camp to verify compliance with the standards.
Unlike inspections by state licensing bodies, ACA accreditation is voluntary. ACA cannot close or otherwise penalize an entity that is not meeting its accreditation criteria, except for the removal of the accreditation status. Licensing focuses on the enforcement of minimum standards. Accreditation focuses on education and evaluation of one's operation and can help you go beyond the minimum requirements of licensing.
ACA standards identify practices considered basic to quality camping. However, they do not require all programs to look alike. The ACA accreditation program serves a broad range of facilities from primitive to highly developed and programs from basic to highly advanced. Each will have addressed in its own way the concerns identified by the standards.
Many types of camps and programs seek ACA accreditation such as camps who operate day and resident camp sessions, travel and trip programs, school camps and environmental education programs, and camps with special program emphases (e.g., sports, academic, therapeutic, religious). Many of these camps also offer facilities and services to other program operators.

In an interview with People magazine, Hillary Rodham Clinton brushed aside recent questions Republicans have raised about her health and said that she has fully recovered from a concussion suffered in late 2012.
GOP strategist Karl Rove sparked controversy recently by suggesting that Clinton might have a long-term "traumatic brain injury" due to the concussion and a blood clot near her brain, which Clinton suffered when she fainted and hit her head while recovering from a virus.
Clinton loyalists have blasted the insinuation and pointed to her hectic, not-yet-a-presidential-campaign schedule; her husband, Bill, laughed off Rove's comments by claiming that the Republican was trying to cast her in the "Walking Dead."
In a glossy six-page spread in People, Clinton said the concussion prevented her from doing everything she wanted to do at the end of her tenure as secretary of State. But she said she was glad to be able, after a delay, to testify to Congress about the 2012 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya: "I was able to do that. That was the most important thing to me."
Clinton reiterated that she has had no lingering effects from her fall. "I did have a concussion and some effects in the aftermath, mostly dizziness, double vision," she said. "Those all dissipated." She remains on blood thinners as a guard against another clot.
Clinton said she discussed the concussion with U.S. Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), an avid athlete and another potential presidential candidate in 2016, at President Obama's second inauguration.
Ryan told her he had had at least three concussions, including one that was "really serious" when he was younger. His mother, he told Clinton, made him rest until he was well.
"We haven't until recently taken this issue seriously for athletes, soldiers, accident victims," she said.
"People have basically been told to shake it off. I could've shaken it off, but at what cost?" she continued. "I rested and went back to work after the first of the year. I'm really conscious of how other people don't get that care."
