Winder's municipal court soon will have a new judge on the bench. City finance director Leslie Henderson told the city council's Finance & Benefits Committee last Thursday that the position is being advertised. The timing is not related to Judge June Davis' handling of a recent case in Barrow County Magistrate Court that involved a Winder police officer who wrote a bad check to a grocery store, according to city officials. An internal investigation found no evidence to substantiate allegations of favoritism by Davis or her county staff.
For the full story, see the Jan. 16 issue of the Barrow Journal.

- "I'm half-blood. My father, my father was a wizard. William Alderton. He worked here for thirty years. Perhaps you know him. Always wore his jacket inside out..."
- —Alderton begs the Muggle-Born Registration Commission to release him.[src]
Alderton[1] was a wizard living somewhere in the British Isles during the Second Wizarding War. Despite his claims to be half-blood, Alderton was 'interviewed' by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission on 2 September, 1997, and was either sent to Azkaban or stripped of his wand and job.
Early life
According to Alderton, he was the son of William Alderton, a wizard, making him a half-blood. The Ministry of Magic, however, determined he was a Muggle-born wizard.[2]
He most likely attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in his youth.
Second Wizarding War and Prosecution
In 1997, after the infiltration of the Ministry of Magic by Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters, he was singled out as being Muggle-born by the Muggle-Born Registration Commission and was tried. He was found guilty during the trial and was therefore led away by two Ministry guards afterwards, either to await imprisonment or to be stripped of his wand and job. As he left the courtroom, he desperately tried to convince the guards that he was a half-blood by claiming that his father was a pure-blood wizard, but was unsuccessful. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards.
Behind the scenes
- He is played by Ned Dennehy credited as "Scared Man".
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (First appearance)

4 Wheel Bike: Is a Right for You?: 4 Wheeled Bike
If stability is more difficult due to age, disability or general physical strength, a four wheel bike may be a great solution for you to be able to get out and about without danger of having an accident. There are many four wheel bike styles from sleek individual models that can carry one person just like a bicycle would to two-person four wheel bike options that are more like open air cars. These can even have roofs or awnings over the top to give some protection from the sun or light rain.
The Many Options for 4 Wheel Bike Riding
A basic 4 wheel bike looks a lot like an ordinary bicycle except that it has four wheels instead of two. This type of 4 wheel bike fits fine on a sidewalk or by the side of the road for safe driving. They are ideal for people who want to go on a ride by themselves but need a bit of extra stability or support.
Search 4 Wheel Bike? Make your choice and buy!
Two-person 4 wheel bike options add another seat to the side. This allows two people to enjoy a ride together and help with the pedaling. A 4 wheel bike can be a bit heavier than a standard 2 wheel option, and also affords the opportunity to get exercise with a friend. These are also ideal for an able-bodied person to ride with disabled or less able loved one.
There are 4 wheel bike models that include small motors, storage trunks or baskets, sunscreens, solar panels, trailers and even industrial models that can carry heavy wood and other equipment.

I usually just put them in the microwave on a plate that I warmed on the grill, keeping the microwave off obviously. They stay pretty warm that way.

Dear MAKE,
Six months ago, you helped us announce the first women's hackerspace, Mothership HackerMoms, on your awesome blog. With your help, we've grown, doubled our membership since then and have launched a Kickstarter for equipment, construction, and programs. Recently Boing Boing, 510families.com, and the Mini Maker Faire in Oakland have supported us. Would you consider putting our news on MAKE? Here's more info, including a press release, website article, and of course, the Kickstarter itself at http://mothership.hackermoms.org/.
I'm Sho-Sho Smith, founder of Mothership HackerMoms, the first women's hackerspace. We are a new kind of playground and workspace for creative mothers. After 6 months in our space, we need your help to build a workshop with tools and equipment, plus create a kids program and business incubator for moms inside it. HackerMoms just launched a Kickstarter fundraiser to accomplish this. I hope that you can help us with a donation pledge and by spreading the word on Facebook, Twitter and by email. With your help, we can make our $10,000 goal by the November 18 deadline. Your dollars will go towards tools and equipment, a DIY construction fund (we are the builders), and hired experts. As budget-conscious moms made a list (of course) you can read with cost detailed in our Kickstarter description.
We started our non-profit organization in April 2012 because traditional hackerspaces don't really have safe spaces for babies and young children – or, consequently, their mothers. Our mission is to give creative moms the time and space to explore DIY craft and design, hacker/maker culture, entrepreneurship, and all manner of creative expression – with childcare. Mothers sometimes need a room of their own! Learn more about who we are and our philosophy at http://mothership.hackermoms.org/.

Venerable Pimen the Faster of the Kiev Near Caves
The Hieromartyr Kuksha and Saint Pimen the Faster died after the year 1114. Saint Simon, Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal (May 10), in a letter to Saint Polycarp, Archimandrite of the Caves (July 24), wrote of Saint Kuksha: "How can I worthily proclaim the glory of those saintly men dwelling in the holy Monastery of the Caves, in which pagans were baptized and became monks, and Jews accepted the holy Faith? But I cannot keep silent about the holy hieromartyr and Black-Robed Kuksha of this monastery. Everyone knows that he cast out devils, baptized the Vyatichi, caused it to rain, dried up a lake, performed many other miracles, and after many torments was killed together with his disciple Nikon."
The death of the hieromartyr Kuksha was revealed to Saint Pimen the Faster. Standing in the church of the Monastery of the Caves, he loudly exclaimed, "Our brother Kuksha was killed today for the Gospel." After saying this, he also surrendered his soul to God.
The Vyatichi, among whom the hieromartyr Kuksha preached and died, were pagans living along the River Oka, and they occupied the area of the Orlov and Kaluga districts. Saint Nestor the Chronicler (October 27), writing about the Vyatichi, was shocked by their brutal customs and he added that they live "only for the present day," remaining unacquainted with the Law of God, and making their own law instead.
The Hieromartyr Kuksha preached to the Vyatichi during the era of Saint Theoctistus, Bishop of Chernigov (August 5). He was buried, as was Saint Pimen the Faster, in the Near Caves. The Monks of the Near Caves are commemorated on September 28.

People and values
Our people are our future. How we engage, develop and lead them, and ensure we have the right skills and behaviours, is central to our strategy.
In a world where competition for talent gets more and more intense – especially in fast-growing, high-tech cities like Cambridge and others we operate in around the globe – we need to continually create a positive environment that attracts outstanding individuals, passionate about their work.
We are investing heavily in developing the skills of our people, to keep them flexible, resilient and focused on the needs of customers, while buffeted by constant commercial change.
As we grow as a global business, with some 50 offices around the world, we are reinforcing our common culture and values, emphasising the highest academic standards and our core purpose: to advance learning, knowledge and research worldwide.
Our numbers have been growing rapidly as we expand: at the year end we had 2,710 permanent colleagues, nearly 60 per cent based outside the UK.
We are investing heavily in developing the skills of our people, to keep them flexible, resilient and focused on the needs of customers."
In 2017–18 our efforts to support our people included investment in leadership skills; an increased focus on learning and development, particularly in digital knowledge and new sales skills; stronger engagement with colleagues; a review of our ethical framework; and a shift in focus of our community engagement.
The year saw 168 senior and middle managers take our leadership training programmes. Some 210 middle managers went through our lengthiest programme, involving 15 months of part-time learning. Spin-off programmes involved colleagues in our Manila office and sales teams in New York.
The aim has been to strengthen colleagues' people management skills, while emphasising both the Press's purpose to advance learning and the need for commercial and entrepreneurial thinking. The feedback from participants has been very positive.
We continued to build our apprenticeship programme, took in a new cohort of graduate trainees, and had colleagues studying for a Masters of Business Administration at the Cranfield School of Management.
We also introduced our first global learning day – where colleagues around the world devoted themselves to study – some face-to-face, some through facilitated online learning. More generally, we have been encouraging self-directed online learning, with material curated by the Press, as well as individual coaching and mentoring.
Our Code of Ethics has been revised and updated this year to include new sections on data protection and publishing ethics. In light of the EU's new General Data Protection Regulation, we reaffirmed our commitment to retaining information about our customers, authors, colleagues, and other third-parties securely and confidentially. Our new publishing ethics section reiterated our support for approaches consistent wth our academic and educational communities, including our commitment to academic freedom and freedom of expression along with the international copyright law framework.
During the year we published details of our gender pay gap in the UK, as required by the British Government for all organisations employing more than 250 people. Our median gender pay gap is 19 per cent, compared with the UK median of 18.4 per cent. The median value is the middle one in a set of values arranged in order of size.
We fully support the Government's move to highlight gender pay gaps. All Press colleagues are treated equally and have equal opportunity to progress through the organisation, regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, age, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or disability.
Based on analysis of our data, we are confident that male and female colleagues are paid on equal terms for doing the same jobs across the Press. However, we have more male colleagues at senior management level than we do female colleagues. This creates the overall pay gap.
We are actively addressing the issue. We have a plan for how we intend to reduce, and eventually close, the overall pay gap, including how we ensure increasing opportunities for women to progress or be hired into more senior roles. These include unconscious bias training, support for aspiring female leaders and a review of flexible working arrangements.
Community engagement and charitable action is an important part of our culture. Over the past few years we have been changing the balance of our activities to improve colleague engagement, to emphasise charities in our field of education and to develop global charitable partnerships.
During the year, charitable activity by colleagues around the world, together with donations from the Press, raised more than £57,500. In the UK colleagues raised £10,574 (£9,692 of which was also matched by the Press) and gave £14,350 through Give As You Earn, which enables colleagues to make donations from their monthly pay to a chosen charity.
Volunteering activities were undertaken by 248 colleagues around the world. The Press Board went back to school for a day, volunteering at North Cambridge Academy's Enterprise Day, helping students develop their business ideas and supporting them with creating a pitch.
Our UK Charity of the Year was Rowan Humberstone, a Cambridge-based charity and arts centre for people with learning disabilities. Colleagues raised £2,284 for Rowan, £2,074 of which was matched by the Press – a total of £4,358. Together with a Press donation of £10,000, the charity received almost £15,000. The Press hosted an evening performance by Rowan students, Through The Cloud I Can See You.
Our New York office ran its first Charity of the Year selection and built a relationship with PENCIL, a local educational charity which works with the business community, organising activities and bringing together the best ideas, talent and resources to support students from all backgrounds to reach their full potential. PENCIL received a donation of $5,000 from the Press in December. In March, students were invited to our office to network with colleagues, take part in interview workshops and have their CVs reviewed.
Meanwhile, some £4,420 was raised by colleagues via crowdfunding in support of colleagues who were affected by the earthquake in Mexico. This amount was matched by the Press, with an additional donation of £3,000 going to the UNICEF relief fund.
A total of 75,968 books were donated to a wide range of causes. They included libraries working in needy areas of Africa; projects helping migrants, refugees and displaced people; survivors of domestic abuse; the homeless; prisoners and young offenders; children's homes and hostels for young people; and people with disabilities.
We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment through careful management of our activities, products and services. For the past ten years we have held certification to the Environmental Management System Standard ISO14001. Every year we monitor our carbon emissions to help us evaluate and further improve our environmental performance.
During 2017–18 we discussed the development of a long-term carbon reduction strategy that would cover the decades to 2050, dividing and prioritising our goals into the three different 'scopes', or categories defined by the 'Greenhouse Gas Protocol', a standard that helps countries and cities track progress toward climate goals. We also re-evaluated our internal and external environmental risks and opportunities and examined the possibility of introducing solar panels on flat roof areas of the Shaftesbury Road headquarters.
We planted a sedum roof on the flat roof around the courtyard of the University Printing House which will filter CO2 and pollutants and encourage bio-diversity as well as its direct benefits.
During 2017–18 total energy use at all of our UK sites fell by three per cent to 1,189 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. At Shaftesbury Road electricity consumption fell by two per cent to 1,089 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
Energy savings at the site included the migration of data storage to the cloud and the installation of local boilers in kitchen areas, motion sensors in refurbished areas, and dusk to dawn lighting in the visitors' car park set to the astrological time clock.
Business travel, which now accounts for 65 per cent of our carbon emissions, fell by three per cent during the year, despite the continued global growth of the Press, while emissions from company owned vehicles fell by four per cent to 83 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
Total landfill waste generated at all UK sites rose from two tonnes of CO2 equivalent to 4.8 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This was due to office refurbishments. Recycling remained at under 0.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. We have switched to waste contractors who do not use landfill sites; waste is instead processed using recycling, incinerating and anaerobic digestion methods. We introduced a plan to reduce plastic packaging in the Shaftesbury Road restaurant. Our Cambridge bookshop promoted Earth Day, which this year was focusing on ending single use plastic pollution.
We further sought to increase the environmental engagement of our suppliers by evaluating their environmental credentials as part of our tendering process, while we continued to provide assurance that all the paper we purchase is from sustainable sources.

I have seen a lot of abscesses in my career. They're quite different now than they used to be -- in training, in an inner-city program, I used to see lots of IV drug abusers with cutaneous abscesses due to injecting dirty drugs. Those pusbags were hot, red, tense, and exquisitely painful. When lanced, with good local anesthesia, they produced fountains of pus and immediate relief from the pain, and they healed well without antibiotics.
Now, of course, we all know about CA-MRSA, and 99% of the cutaneous abscesses I see are due to this germ. But they look quite different than the "classic" abscesses. Generally, they are notable for a central, shallow pustule, with minimal purulent material, and significant surrounding erythema. You can de-roof the pustule, but you never really get anything out -- just enough to culture -- and evacuating the pus is not sufficient for healing. Antibiotics are always, it seems, necessary.
The MRSA seems different in children, especially infants and toddlers. Those can look similar to the superficial pustules that adults get, but seems to have a much higher incidence of harboring a large subcutaneous collection of pus, which will fountain out under pressure when lanced. The kids seem to be much sicker (febrile, high white counts, etc) and way more likely to require hospitalization.
It's hard to know whether this is a regional thing, or whether I am seeing the typical presentation of the CA-MRSA lesions. Is this consistent with what you all are seeing?

Out of curiosity, does human medicine use regional perfusion with antibiotics for hard-core infections on the limbs? Being involved in equine medicine, I've seen a lot of what are locally called distal limb perfusions (DLP's) in which a tourniquet is applied and an antibiotic (in horses, aminoglycosides are most commonly used, but other classes can be used as well) infused into a vein (or, occasionally, an artery or intraosseous space). The tourniquet is left in place 20-30 minutes.ReplyDelete
DLP's are used for bad wounds in the distal limbs, septic arthritis or tenosynovitis (concurrent with repeated joint/tendon sheath lavage) and acute osteomyelitis.
Nope. A similar technique is occasionally used for regional anesthesia of the upper extremity (commonly referred to as a Bier Block), but people tend to get really whiny when you leave a tourniquet on for a while.ReplyDelete
One advantage of dealing with animals, I guess.
Working in a peds clinic, I've seen a couple cases of MRSA. Talking with the parents, they all said the same thing. It resembled spider-bites.ReplyDelete
I'm only a student, but I've clocked a lot of clinic/hospital hours in my current and my pre-med school life, and the MRSA I've seen (both CA and HA in staff) tends to look exactly as you've described. A few times, I've seen kids with non-healing ulcerated pustules, and I've seen a few really wicked cases of post-leg-waxing folliculitis (one of which healed on its own, but left scars). But yeah, lots of erythema, not as much pus as you'd expect, and almost always seems to need antibiotics. Oddly (at least to me), I've seen a number of cases involving the back of the neck (all in the indigent population) - is that something common to the bug in your experience?ReplyDelete

Yup, that's my experience too.ReplyDelete

Hey, anonymous stole my line!ReplyDelete
The literature supports your observation that in more recent years the strains of MRSA have acquired increased virulence and thus present with more severe symptoms.
As another public service reminder: Wear face shields, people!

All I know from experience is that I was hospitalized for over a week thanks to a truly nasty looking MRSA abscess that wound up having necrotic tissue underneath a truly disgusting heap of purulence. (Also hot, red, and exquisitely painful!) Had a few days of IV vanco and then a month on (oral) doxycycline. Totally freaked out both my general MD and the surgeon...luckily I didn't get any systemic symptoms from it, though locally it was a mess! Bleach solution was also partly responsible for the cure, since I had several whirlpool tx with bleach in the water so strong that's all I could smell. All in all, NOT a pleasant experience!ReplyDelete
Luckily this was over a year ago & I've had no recurrence.
- Anonymous8/12/2008 4:35 PM
The ONLY prospective study of the use of antibiotics for simple abscess post-I&D is now underway. The original stateement that antibiotics are "always necessary" has no grounds in the current evidence base. Cellulitic lesions do require antibiotics.ReplyDelete

They knew the Southeastern Conference's chances to win yet another BCS Championship was over, safely tucked in a coffin, a stake driven through its heart by a real superhero, Johnny Football. But then, at just around midnight on the West Coast, there was a knock on the door, a scratching at the window.
And guess who's back?
That's right, the SEC, or as three-quarters of the college-football-loving parts of the country know think of it, the Evil Dead. At the end of an insanely entertaining evening of football, the No. 1 conference, and the leading cause of League Fatigue around the nation, was up and about in its shroud — no word if Georgia, one of the SEC's still-breathing representatives, plans to make black jerseys out of those — and marching inexorably towards Miami.
Those who loathe the idea of a seventh SEC title must now pin their hopes on slender shoulders: Georgia Tech's wishbone could befuddle Georgia, or Auburn's fierce rivalry with Alabama could inspire the sort of effort that the Tigers gave in a 12-10 loss to LSU. After last Saturday, all possibilities must be considered, but either of those would be big upsets. Not necessarily a bigger upset than Baylor over Kansas State, maybe, but big. And if two-touchdown favorite Georgia and five-touchdown favorite Alabama prevail, the SEC Championship Game becomes a de facto BCS semifinal game.
Can anything stop that from happening? Tech is often a tough team to prepare for, although Georgia, wisely, scheduled another triple-option offense, Georgia Southern, right before the Yellow Jackets. The Bulldogs also have a significant talent advantage. It is a rivalry, but Georgia is in a better position than it has been since the BCS was started and should take the next step at home.
And what of Auburn?
One word of caution: while the Tigers have had an execrable season, don't confuse them with Western Carolina, a comparison that many joking Alabama fans made last week. There is a reason that AU can beat New Mexico State 42-7, or roll Alabama A&M 51-7. The Tigers are still an SEC team with SEC talent, and Alabama forgets that at its peril. Should the Crimson Tide win? Obviously, if you look at Auburn-Texas A&M, or Auburn-Georgia, Alabama should roll. But it may not be the kind of pull-the-starters-after-a-quarter blowout that many people expect.
Given that disclaimer that weird things can happen,
Alabama and Georgia do control their own destinies once again, even if Texas A&M (and, in Georgia's case, the sort of blowout loss to South Carolina that is really tough to overcome, BCS-wise) did their best.
There is even that absolute nightmare scenario out there for those with profound SECaphobia. Things could hypothetically work out, if Notre Dame loses and Florida beats Florida State in Tallahassee, that their could be yet another All-SEC title game. It could even be Georgia-Florida in a rematch of one of the uglier games of the year.
And if the anti-SEC crowd thinks the past weekend was scary, just imagine if that should happen.

WALTHAM, Mass.- Despite their second-best shooting game of the season, the Brandeis women's basketball team fell at home to 13th-ranked Washington University (Mo.) in a University Athletic Association (UAA) matchup on Senior Day, 62-57. In this contest, the Judges could not hold on against the Bears and dropped to 9-15 (3-10 UAA) while Wash. U moves to 19-5 (9-4 UAA).
In the first half, the Judges hung tough and took an early 7-6 lead on a 3-pointer by junior guard Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./ Peabody Veterans). Directly following that basket, the Bears responded with a 10-2 run that gave them their largest lead of the period at 16-9. Still, Brandeis did not go away, retaking the lead at 25-24 with 1:31 remaining in the half on a layup by senior center Angela Miller (Sicklerville, N.J./ Timber Creek). Wash. U scored the last basket of the half on a layup by sophomore forward Melissa Gilkey (Woodinville, Wash./ Woodinville) to take a slight 26-25 edge into the break.
In the second half, Brandeis continued their tough play, refusing to back down against the ranked Bears. This time, Wash. U hit the Judges with an 11-4 run over the course of about six and a half minutes to take their largest lead of the game at 53-44 with 4:55 remaining in the contest. During that run, Brandeis went without a field goal for a little over six minutes. Still, the Judges kept fighting and tied the game at 54 apiece with 2:17 left on the clock on a driving layup from sophomore guard Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./ Gloucester). After a 3-pointer from sophomore guard Maddy Scheppers (Bossier City, La./ Airline), Rodriguez made it a two point game again by hitting one of two shots from the line. Immediately following a pair of free throws by Gilkey, Cain made another shot in the paint to make it a 59-57 contest with 46 ticks remaining. Unfortunately, Bears' senior guard Nishi Tavernier (Bronx, N.Y./ Bronx High School of Science) ran down the shot clock before draining a dagger shot from behind the arc for the final 62-57 margin of victory. That 3-pointer with 14.7 seconds left was her only bucket of the game and rattled in and out before finding its way to the bottom of the basket.
Cain led Brandeis with a career-high 17 points while senior forward Erika Higginbottom (Millbury, Mass./ Worcester Acad.) and junior guard Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./ Pomperaug) joined her in double-digits with 10 points each. Senior center Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./ Hoosic Valley) added another eight points on four-for-five shooting inside the arc. Rodriguez had a team-high six rebounds as Anderson pulled down five. Dean led the squad with five assists and Cain added four helpers. Finally, Dean and Rodriguez shared team-high honors with three steals apiece. The Judges shot 50% from the field (25-for-50) which was only eclipsed by their first UAA game of the year against NYU when they shot 51.9% (28-for-54) in a 63-60 win at Red Auerbach Arena. Seniors Courtney Ness, Anderson, and Higginbottom were honored before the game for a great four years at Brandeis.
Gilkey was the top scorer for Wash. U with a game-high 20 points while Scheppers and senior forward Kristin Anda (Ridgefield, Conn./ Ridgefield) joined her in double-digits with 14 and 13 points respectively. Scheppers led the team with seven rebounds as Gilkey and Anda pulled down six each. The Bears owned a 39-30 advantage on the glass including 20 offensive boards that resulted in 17 second chance points. Rookie guard Katybeth Biewen (Edina, Minn./ Edina) had three assists while Gilkey came up with a game-high four steals. Wash. U forced 23 turnovers and converted them into 24 points.
Brandeis finishes off their season with a UAA tilt at NYU on Saturday February 23rd at 1:00 p.m. The Bears return home for their last regular season game on Saturday February 23rd against Chicago at 1:00 p.m.

Nation & World
Finding husbands is tough for China's 'leftover ladies' – if they even want them
Shanghai native Huang Wei's weekends are routine by now. Every Saturday and Sunday morning he travels to People's Square to scan the walls of personal advertisements in the hopes of finding a woman he thinks would be a good match for him.
Usually he fails and walks home feeling defeated
But not today. This time, Huang, who divorced his wife 10 years ago, thinks he's finally found a woman who's a good fit for him. The 18-year-old whose photo stares at him from crinkled paper is 32 years his junior – and everything Huang has ever wanted.
"I need a woman who will be able to give me a son or daughter and also won't embarrass me by being better than me in terms of education or salary," Huang explains. "I am on the lookout for women between the ages of 18 and 20 who don't have the chance to make me look bad yet."
People's Square is the last hope for many thousands of Chinese parents who desperately want to see their daughters get married.
In a society with a growing number of women seeking education, many urban women are postponing marriage to have careers, which has many parents going to extreme measures, such as the "marriage market" in People's Square, to pair up their sons and daughters.
According to a census analysis by Wang Feng, the director of the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy in Beijing, 5 percent of urban Chinese women in their late 20s were still single in 1982. Today, that figure has risen to 27 percent.
Unmarried women in their late 20s commonly are referred to as "leftover." Having postponed marriage, many of them have a difficult time finding partners for strictly cultural reasons: Many Chinese men would rather be with young women who are less successful than they are, according to Xu Anqi, the executive director of the Family Study Center at Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.
There are now an estimated 7 million Chinese women who've remained single beyond age 25, mostly living in urban areas.
China will continue to urbanize, and more women will work in higher positions and most likely will follow the model of other East Asian countries, such as South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Singapore, where this trend is even more common, Wang said.
"Most Chinese women will agree to marry an older man as long as he is rich and can give her a nice home to live in," Xu said. "But the 'leftover ladies' don't want that life yet."
To the 50-year-old Huang, marrying a woman his own age is out of the question. In one glance at the information on display, he can learn much about a prospective fiancee – her name, height, father's salary and the name of the secondary education school she attends – but none of that really matters to him.
"She will need to be able to care for me when I am older and the child we will have, so she needs to be young," Huang said. "A woman my age couldn't do that."
Competing with Huang is a crowd of thousands of parents who descend on the park's "marriage market" every Saturday and Sunday, rain or shine, scouring the area for the best options. Holding single sheets of paper that list basic characteristics about their children, parents attempt to find suitable partners for sons or daughters, many times without their children's approval or knowledge.
One of those parents is 60-year-old He Yihong, who's frantically trying to find a mate for her 34-year-old daughter. For the past four years, she's tried it all: the "marriage market," dating websites, setting up dates with neighbors, even prayer. Unfortunately for He's peace of mind, nothing has worked out for her daughter, who rarely accepts the dates she sets up.
"I just don't really understand it," He said. "These men . . . are handsome and have good jobs, so I don't know why she chooses to remain single. It keeps me up at night worried about her."
He's daughter, who studied advertising at Shanghai International Studies University, works as a manager of a clothing company. She wants to continue to focus on her work, which has her mother upset. He said she thought that family was more important than work and that her daughter should make it a priority to find a husband with whom she can raise a family.
"I just want to be a grandmother," He said sadly. "I am losing hope, because my only child is 34 without a boyfriend or husband."
Pei Jing, an employee at a matchmaking service, comes to People's Square to assist in organizing the thousands of personal advertisements displayed.
Pei said most advertisements were for women in their 20s and 30s whose parents wanted them to find husbands. While men also are advertised, women outnumber them substantially, because many parents can't accept that their daughters remain single beyond their late 20s.
One of those women is 36-year-old Susan Xu – a top editor of a newspaper – whose parents are very upset that she hasn't walked down the aisle. Like many educated, urban Chinese of her generation, she selected a Western name while studying English and continues to use it.
She was born in Shanghai, attended one of China's elite universities, Fudan, and graduated with honors. She's worked her way to the top of the newspaper business and never wanted to stop to raise a family. She admits that she's never particularly enjoyed children.
Having a successful career comes at a price for her: Many men are intimidated by her success.
"Men like a wife who is pretty but not so smart and not so hardworking, so she doesn't embarrass him," she said.
She said she felt the pressure to get married constantly, and she estimated that 99 percent of "leftover" women felt the same way. Social gatherings among neighbors are very difficult for her; she often feels left out because children are always the topic of conversation.
But she won't succumb to societal or parental pressure, she said.
"I like being independent. I also want to be with the man I marry for the rest of my life," she said. "That man hasn't come into my life, so I will continue to work to be able to support myself."

DeKALB – The DeKalb boys basketball team lost, 72-65, to Harlem on Saturday in the Chuck Dayton Holiday Tournament, but coach Dave Rohlman wasn't overly concerned with the final score.
Throughout his team's 1-9 start, Rohlman pleaded with his players to work hard and do the little things it takes to win. On Saturday, when the Barbs led with 1:25 remaining, he saw almost everything he wanted to see.
"We've asked them for 10 games to play harder," Rohlman said. "We talked about what winners have to do, and I think they did everything we asked them to do and we played like winners tonight. Unfortunately, they don't get the win."
After losing, 81-53, last night to Winnebago, when they committed 27 turnovers, the Barbs came out strong and led, 33-32, at the half.
DeKalb (1-10) built up a seven-point lead early in the fourth quarter before the Huskies (5-5) came back behind seven quick points from senior Justin Vanwambeke, who scored a game-high 24 points.
The Barbs led, 65-64, with 1:25 left, when 6-foot-7 center Andre Harris, who scored a team-high 17 points, fouled out after lowering his shoulder into a screener in the backcourt.
After Harlem made two free throws, DeKalb committed three turnovers and wouldn't score again with their big man out.
"We were playing well, everyone was talking, there was some energy on our team, but it was just a tough one coming down the stretch," said forward Jake Carpenter, who scored 14 points. "We missed a couple of shots, and a couple of turnovers killed us. It just didn't go our way."
Rohlman didn't want the Barbs to hang their heads, and they didn't.
After listening to a short talk from their head coach, the Barbs came out of the locker room with a positive outlook.
"It's been difficult throughout the season. We've had some ups and downs, some difficulties," Harris said. "[Saturday] was a big difference. Today, we played as a team. We worked hard all fourth quarters. It just didn't go our way at the end."
On Friday, the Barbs didn't handle the ball well, they didn't play well against Winnebago's press and they let the game get away from them.
None of those faults were present on Saturday.
"I'm blown away, to be honest, by our transformation tonight from last night," Rohlman said. "How we played together, how other guys stepped up … I think what we do is we build on what we did tonight."

The Professional Assistance for Student Success (PASS) Program is designed to help students achieve success in college. Greenville University realizes that some individuals do not develop their full potential in high school, but still have the ability to successfully do so in college. Because of this need, the PASS Program provides a means for students to succeed in college by offering a supervised and supportive program to develop and promote the skills necessary for success.
Students not meeting all of the following admission standards for Greenville University will be considered for the PASS Program:
Not meeting these criteria indicate that you may have difficulty with some courses at Greenville University and that you could benefit from the specialized support that you will find in the PASS Program. Admittance to Greenville University will be contingent upon agreement to be part of the PASS Program if you are recommended for it. Each year, the Admissions Committee accepts a limited number of students into the PASS Program.
During the first week of the semester, PASS students will be assigned to a student academic coach. This coach will serve as a resource person for the student in developing strategies for success. During the semester each PASS student must meet with an academic coach every week. In the session with the academic coach, focused time will be spent on motivation, time management, success strategies, personal accountability, study skills and connecting the student with additional resources available on campus. Additionally, the student must meet weekly with peer tutors and every other week with an individual from Student Success.
PASS can build confidence in the student's ability to succeed in an academic environment. It can help the student make a smooth transition from high school to college, teach good study habits and provide the student with emotional and academic support. Students who actively participate in the program often attribute their success to the consistent support that helped them learn to study and keep grades up.
Your progress in each class will be assessed at the end of the second, fifth and ninth weeks of the semester. If the student is not attending tutoring, the academic coach sessions or classes, or, if the student's grades are below a C, the student will have a mandatory meeting with the PASS Program supervisor to discuss the problems and jointly seek solutions. Failure to meet the new expectations as well as the PASS Program requirements may result in a review of the student's participation in school.
During the semester, professors submit low-grade reports for students to help with the evaluation process. This information will be shared with the student in a personal conference.
At the end of the semester, the student's progress will be reassessed to determine whether the student should continue in PASS. Students admitted in the PASS Program may be placed on academic probation or dismissed if their first semester GPA falls below 1.75/4.0
Only if the student tells them! PASS is designed to help the student become successful in college. Students in the program take regular classes. There is no stigma - just a lot of support and help. Greenville University only admits students who are capable of meeting its academic expectations. PASS offers students the tools, time and support, that along with hard work will help them in meeting expectations.

Take a look at ten different scenes all stitched together on one beautiful scroll from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. There's been a ton of hype around this picture lately, leading us to believe that The Hobbit will roll out the Shire-green carpet this week at San Diego Comic-Con. Hidden in this scroll is the first time Bilbo breaks bread with the dwarves, the barrel escape, and our first-ever look at the ursine skin-changer Beorn (who's played by Mikael Persbrandt).

In October 2007, New Orleans partnered with Opera on Tap in New York City to create the first Opera on Tap franchise in a city so rich with musical talent and history, it seemed only fitting that the next one would be here. The organization is now hosting their 7th season in the city, and it continues to grow each year.
The New Orleans Chapter of Opera on Tap features some of the finest vocal talent in the city, who perform 90-minute concerts of opera, Broadway and more. The singers pack the venues they perform in—including The Rusty Nail, their home base—with opera and music lovers of all ages, often with a drink in hand to add to the special occasion.
The music may seem a stark contrast to the typical bar setting, but that's one aspect that makes these shows so interesting and unique. The crowds get just as into the music and applause as they would any other live music show in the city, perhaps except for the more reverential quiet during the actual performance which is sometimes on a mic and sometimes not.
One unique venue for Opera on Tap is one that brings opera back to its foundation in the French Quarter. The Four Points by Sheraton in the French Quarter is situated on the hallowed grounds of the French Opera House, which was a hotbed of New Orleans creole society for 60 years until it was consumed in a fire in 1919.
The other venue for this season's schedule is the Abita Brew Pub in Abita Springs on the Northshore. This makes the music more accessible to those on the other side of the lake who'd like to enjoy a couple of brews while listening to this fine music that is unique to the typical bar-music scene.
Below is the schedule for2013-2014 season:
The Abita Brew Pub
72011 Holly St., Abita Springs
When: 7 p.m., Sept. 18, Oct. 23, Jan. 8, and March 12.
Four Points by Sheraton French Quarter
541 Bourbon St.
When: 7 p.m., Sept. 25, Oct. 30, Nov. 27, Dec. 18, Jan. 29, Feb. 19, March 19, April 30, May 21
The Rusty Nail

Lady Legends Tour De 'Four'ce
Lady Legends Tour De 'Four'ce
Lady Legends for the Cure IV presented by Wells Fargo highlights Black-Eyed Susan card
BALTIMORE, 05-14-13---As the first female jockey to win a pari-mutuel race against her male counterparts and the first woman named to ride in the Kentucky Derby, Barbara Jo Rubin has some pretty amazing memories of her time in the irons.
Though her brief but memorable career ended in 1970, the 64-year-old Rubin gets to relive those moments every May at Pimlico Race Course.
Rubin is one of five original participants in the Lady Legends for the Cure, a race which returns for the fourth consecutive year on Friday bringing together an elite group of eight retired female champion riders.
The Lady Legends for the Cure IV, presented by Wells Fargo, is a highlight of The People's Pink Party, a joint effort between Pimlico and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the world's largest breast cancer organization. The annual springtime event was created in 2010 to help raise money and awareness in the fight against the disease.
Pimlico will match the on-track amount wagered on the Lady Legends winner and make a contribution to the Komen Maryland Affiliate.
"It's great. Everyone's out there rooting for us, because we get back in shape to do this for charity," Rubin said. "It's wonderful. It's a lot of hard work, but it's for such a great cause."
Also on the Friday card are eight stakes, including the $500,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2) for 3-year-old fillies, the $300,000 Pimlico Special (G3) for older horses and the $34,000 Xpressbet Jockey Challenge, newly formatted to feature a 'Battle of the Sexes' between four each of the top male and female active riders.
Grammy-nominated Goo Goo Dolls headline the first-ever Preakness eve concert in the Pimlico infield and will be joined by country music artists Rodney Atkins and Rachel Farley.
The inaugural Lady Legends event in 2010 was the first pari-mutuel race of its kind, was profiled on NBC and filmed as the climatic ending to the feature-length documentary, 'JOCK,' chronicling the story of the first generation of lady riders.
Carded fourth (post time 1:30 p.m. EST), this year's Legends race is a $52,000 allowance on the main track at six furlongs that includes six also-eligibles. The 5-to-2 program favorite is Grain, to be ridden by event newcomer Stacie Clark-Rogers.
Joining Rubin as fourth-year Lady Legends are Patti 'PJ' Cooksey, a breast cancer survivor and one of only two women to ride in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness; Mary Russ-Tortora, the first female to win a Grade 1 stakes race; Cheryl White, the first African-American female rider; and Jennifer Rowland-Small, the defending Lady Legends winner who was the top pioneer female rider in Maryland during the 1970s. Zoe Cadman, an on-air analyst for HRTV who won 311 races from 2000-04, was added to the group last year, finishing sixth.
They are joined this year by Abby Fuller, who in 1985 became the first woman to sweep New York's Triple Tiara with Mom's Command, a horse bred and owned by her father, Peter; and Clark-Rogers, a Sovereign Award nominee for top Canadian apprentice who rode 87 winners from 1993-96.
"I'm on Social Security this year. I said to myself, 'I can't believe I'm doing this,'" Rubin said. "It's the only time we get together with all the girls, the old legends. We have a great time. We all wish each other the best in the race and watch out for each other, but ride a good race. It's wonderful."
Rubin's best Lady Legends finish was a fifth in 2011, but she has enjoyed just being back in a competitive environment. On Feb. 22, 1969, at the age of 19, she became the first woman to win a race against males at a recognized track aboard the Bryan Webb-trained Cohesian at Charles Town in West Virginia.
Just over two months later, she was named to ride Picnic Fair in the 1969 Kentucky Derby, but the horse was scratched prior to the race. Having turned to riding horses as a form of exercise after contracting polio as a child, Rubin was forced to retire due to injuries in January 1970 with 22 wins from 89 mounts.
"I think it's very exciting to be able to get back to it," she said. "When somebody hits 64, you don't think you're going to be riding a race anymore, so it's a real thrill. The adrenaline rush you get when you get back on the racetrack and are getting ready for it, it brings back lots of memories. Everybody is wonderful to us here. We have a great time getting to see all the jocks, getting to see all the new women that are riding now and how well they're doing, and seeing a lot of people that we knew from 45 years ago. That's a lot of years. It does go by fast."
Rowland-Small, 60, had her seven-year riding career ended by injury in 1977, but she went on to breed Touch of Class, a winner of two gold medals for jumping at the 1984 Olympics.
Russ-Tortora, 59, the 2012 runner-up, captured the Widener Handicap on Feb. 27, 1982 aboard Lord Darnley at Hialeah, becoming the first woman to win a Grade 1 race. She won 520 races and nearly $6 million in purses from 1980-94.
White, 59, made her riding debut on Ace Reward, a horse owned by her mother and trained by her father, Raymond White, who started two horses in the Kentucky Derby. A winner of five races on Oct. 19, 1983, White was also the first female steward at a California racetrack.
Cooksey, 55, ranks third all-time among female jockeys with 2,137 wins, retiring in 2004 with nearly $19.9 million in career purses. She is the first woman to ride in the Preakness, finishing sixth with Tajawa in 1985.
Fuller, 54, who was forced to drop out of Pimlico's all-female jockey challenge last year following the death of her father, returns to the Lady Legends after finishing second to Mary Wiley-Wagner in 2011.Originally retired in 2002, she briefly returned to riding last year and shows 582 wins and $5.4 million in career purses.
Participants from both the Lady Legends and the Xpressbet Jockey Challenge will take part in an autograph session on the first floor grandstand starting at 10 a.m.

In fact, Google has told us in the past month they have received 1,246,713 removal requests from 24,129 different target domains of 1,296 copyright owners by 1,087 reporting organizations. So only just over a thousand copyright owners submitted removal requests and top five include Microsoft with over a half a million URL removal requests last month followed by British Recorded Music Industry, NBC Universal, Elegant Angel and RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America).
Here is a chart showing the increase in removal requests by week:
Google said they respond to these requests incredibly quickly, often in less than 11 hours.
Google lists all these details on this transparency report site, showing that the top five targeted domains include filestube.com, torrentz.eu, 4shared.com, zippyshare.com and kat.ph. In fact, Google lists each take down request for anyone to see and updates the numbers and reports daily.
Overall the data goes back to July 2011.
Google has not informed us the number of false claims being issued but said they do offer a way to counter notice on these take down requests. Google did say they do comply with 97% of the take down requests.
For more details, check out the copyright removal request section of the Google Transparency Report.
We're listening.

Hi Everyone,
I know a lot of the posts in this area are quite old and dont get looked at so I want to start a new one for anyone who is currently looking to play tennis. I am looking for pretty much any kind of hitting partner(s), I am a solid 4.0-4.5 but will play up or down just to get some practice and a workout in. I live by Disney but have work at UCF so I'm down to play anywhere in Orlando. I also have access to the clay courts at Disney as well as the hard courts. If you are interested shoot me an email (email@example.com) or a call/text, 407-758-2319, and I would ideally like to be playing by the weekend. Thanks so much!
