San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Peyton Manning threw all three of his touchdown passes in the second half as the Denver Broncos overcame a sluggish start to rally for a 35-24 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday.Manning completed 24-of-30 attempts for 309 yards and an interception for Denver (3-3), which won for the second time in three games and is now tied with San Diego for the top spot in the AFC West heading into its bye week.Tony Carter and Chris Harris each scored a defensive touchdown, while Eric Decker caught six balls for 98 yards and a score in the victory."We feel fortunate to be tied for first place in our division at 3-3. It is going to be competitive division down the stretch and there are some things we need to get better at," Manning said. "We need to use this bye week to improve and still find a way to play a 60-minute game."Philip Rivers went 25-for-41 trough the air for 242 yards and two touchdowns with four interceptions and two fumbles for the Charger...

This post is part of a 31 day journey. See the rest of abide: love where you live right here.
But there's more to this whole breaking bread thing. It might seem scary or impossible or too hard. It might feel like asking too much. You are busy. You are overwhelmed. You are behind. You feel awkward. You worry about getting picked apart.
What my husband does? Where we live? Who we love? These children? I need them almost more than they need me. I always get their names wrong. I never know the exact right thing to say. I say dumb things. I am skeptical of figures from their past. I fight championing my rights to my husband and our family time. I fail miserably and I'm selfish.
I'm a mess and I need them. I need them to teach me that I am broken just the same.
I need them to remind me that whatever bread I break, it isn't really mine anyway. It might be my story but I didn't write it. It might be my time but I didn't order it. It might be my heart but I didn't mold it.
Breaking bread is just allowing Christ to be rich in you toward others. It will feel hard, yes. I will be stops and starts, yes. It will be stretching, yes. But it is this: you break open your life and you invite others to the table and you offer them the Bread of Life in you.
You allow them to see how your belonging hunger has been filled and how your worth thirst has been quenched.
And then? Then you take what they offer. You allow them to teach you, help you, love you. You see their vulnerability, really see it. You surrender to this: receiving almost always teaches more than giving.

Enugu — RESIDENTS of the Coal City of Enugu are now living in fear following the invasion of the Enugu State capital by suspected ritual murderers who have killed no fewer than eight persons within the last one-month. Investigations revealed that the ritual murderers who have been carrying out their activities unmolested, appeared to have concentrated on Ogui New Layout, the densely populated Uwani area, Achara Layout, Awkunanaw, Garriki and Abakpa areas where hardly a day passes without a report of missing persons.
Corpses of able-bodied men and women as well as children whose vital organs like the private part, breast and eyes were cut off are regular features on major streets, with the police having no explanation for such mysterious developments. One of such bodies was discovered in front of the Shopping Complex opposite Zik Avenue Primary School in Uwani yesterday morning to the shock of residents who have been living in fears over the unwholesome activities of the ritualists. The body of the unidentified middle-aged man was seen lying on the floor as if he was sleeping but a closer view showed that he was lifeless with his genital organs removed.
The discovery caused serious panic and traffic jam along the busy Zik Avenue as motorists and passersby stopped to catch a glimpse of the corpse. A trader whose shop is located near the scene told Vanguard that they reported for their normal business activities at about 7am only to see the mutilated corpse of the man whom they could not identify, saying they were shocked by the development which they attributed to ritualists.
"We have been battling with armed robbers who have been terrorizing the residents especially traders, but the most dangerous crime against humanity has been introduced in Enugu which used to be the most peaceful city in Igboland. How can one explain these ritual murders everywhere in this town? People are no longer safe to move around. People disappear everyday while children are kidnapped without molestation, yet the police are doing nothing about it. May God have mercy on us," the trader said.
When contacted yesterday, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Shehu Adam, expressed shock over the incident and said that investigations would commence immediately with a view to fishing out the perpetrators.

The Wave
You only have to go to the nearest Watson's Boutique to know what I'm talking about.
Neutrogena finally brought The Wave here in Manila! Experience a 10x Deeper Clean.
I can just imagine cleaning my face turning into a fun regimen instead of the usual ho-hum routine. :)
The commercial alone got me excited.. :)
I'm glad that Vanessa Hudgens is the Wave ambassadress, not only is she a great actress but Filipina to boot. :)
I will share you my Wave experience in days to come. :) But I'm telling you now, I'm loving it... as if I'd bring you, ladies, something unworthy... Only the best for my girls. :)
much love,

Scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) measured a near-record flow of 775,000 cubic feet per second (CFS) at Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River on the morning of Friday, Sept. 9. The river is expected to reach the third-highest flow in history this weekend, ranking behind the June 1972 flow of 1,130,000 cfs and the January 1996 flow of 909,000 cfs.
2011 will most likely be one of the highest annual flow years on record for the Susquehanna River due to wet spring weather and the September tropical storms Irene and Lee. High river flows are also being measured throughout other parts of the Bay watershed. (Visit the USGS's real-time streamflow website for more information about the region's river flows.)
Scientists expect that the sheer magnitude of the flood waters – which carry nutrient and sediment pollution from the land to the water – will have a negative effect on the Bay's health. Some concerns and potential effects of the flooding include:
Timing makes a big difference in whether flood events have a short-term or long-term effect on the Bay's health. Because these storms occurred in late summer, the Bay Program expects that there will be fewer long term impacts to the Bay ecosystem. September is the end of the peak growing season for bay grasses and is not a major spawning period for aquatic life. Additionally, cooler temperatures should prevent large algae blooms from growing in response to excess nutrient pollution.
It will take time for Bay Program partners to monitor and assess conditions before the true impact of the rain events is known. Maryland and Virginia are working closely with scientists from universities, the U.S. EPA and NOAA to expand monitoring of the Bay and its tidal rivers in the coming days and weeks. The USGS is working with the six Bay states, the District of Columbia and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission to measure nutrient and sediment pollution at key monitoring sites as part of the Bay Program's non-tidal water quality monitoring network.
For more information about Chesapeake Bay monitoring and to get real-time monitoring data, visit the USGS Chesapeake Bay Activities website or Maryland's Eyes on the Bay website.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has launched a new website, http://buoybay.noaa.gov, for its Chesapeake Bay Interpretive Buoy System (CBIBS).
CBIBS is a network of observation buoys along the Captain John Smith National Historic Trail. The buoys provide real-time weather data and historic information about John Smith's adventures during his 1607-1609 voyages. There are a total of 10 buoys in the Bay and the Susquehanna, Patapsco, Potomac, Rappahannock and James rivers.
The new CBIBS website offers better data downloads, a "buoy news" section, featured users and the ability to bookmark specific buoy pages. iPhone users can also download a smart buoy app.
For more information, visit http://buoybay.noaa.gov or read about the new CBIBS website on the Bay Backback blog.

acoustic medium
"Acoustic" was mostly used as a metaphor for "many things happening at once"
Any jazz lover can tell of the marvellous ways in which a simple riff becomes a rich, complex, unique piece of art through methodic experimentation and endless variation around a central theme.
A couple of years ago, inspired by the popularity of Lonelygirl15, I wrote the post lonelytv:
First consider the fact that TV is mostly an exercise of serializing and organizing a complex story in a way that can be digested by the masses with little effort: from the rigidity of weekly schedules, seasonal programming, series of predefined length to the organization of several threads of action into a cohesive sequence that eliminates any possibility of misunderstanding the story. It's not too different from the organization of a novel in a book that must address several tracks in a way to keep the reader engaged. The advantage of this approach is accessibility. Very little effort is required to consume.
However, for a new generation of viewers, viewing is not enough. Participation is a must. The Lonelygirl15 phenomenon provides a preview of the type of interactivity that the audience is demanding. Unscheduled snippets of action, very short, cuasi-serialized but easily interchangeable, many different levels of stories that may appeal to different participants, alternate channels to get involved whether providing comments or producing additional snippets of content and endless hooks to plug-in their own ideas into the story. In this new medium there are no rules on how to consume the message
Three different stories in Wired magazine made me realize how far that vision has come and the many ways in which it is being realized:
- Clive Thompson on How YouTube Changes the Way We Think: comments on the innovative ways in which people are using new video tools (web cameras, YouTube, etc) to create powerful messages that span many individual videos. His take is that after the expected "adoption" phase where people try to use the new technology in very much the same old ways, we're finally seeing the innovators creating a whole new medium with it, enhancing our abilities as humans.
- David Downs on how Yo-Yo Ma Brings Remix Culture to Music's Ivory Tower by providing the initial musical track to a yet unfinished piece that will only be complete when mixed with one of thousands of submissions. More importantly, by recognizing that any personal contribution to the body of knowledge (or art in this case) is only a piece of the puzzle, and encouraging others to contribute, augment, modify, Yo-Yo Ma has started a musical theme that will likely exist in many different ways and will be consumed in many different versions. This reminds me of the work that Creative Commons does and their "shared culture" statement.
- Sonia Zjawinski explains how Interactive Film Gives Editing Tools to You, in what seems to be a real production of the participatory experience I described a couple of years ago:
watching Lonelygirl15 or its next incarnation will allow the audience to react to the story while endless threads of stories become available, allowing every single person to experience it in a different way, requiring a strong oral tradition among those participants to maintain a global cohesion and ultimately realize the vision of this new medium. The "acoustic" approach would require not just watching all the snippets associated with a particular thread of action, but also catching up on what others have to say about the snippets they have uncovered. The story as a whole exists only when the community comes together to share their experiences consuming their individual versions.
McLuhan wrote about the return of society to its tribal ways, pushing the literate man back to an "acoustic" world where oral tradition is the preferred mechanism for cultural transfer. Just like when a jazz ensemble improvises a piece, starting with a simple riff and adding complexity as the ideas evolve in the minds of the musicians, we're seeing the beginning of a radical new way of building up our cultural heritage by purposely creating simple "riffs" that must be enhanced, mixed and experienced multiple times in many different ways. No consumers, we are all producers in this new medium.

Condolences to Nicaraguan President
| Pyongyang, April 15 (KCNA) -- Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK, on Monday sent a message of sympathy to Daniel Ortega Saavedra, president of Nicaragua, as regards an earthquake that hit Nicaragua, claiming human casualties and material losses.
The message expressed deep sympathy and condolences to the Nicaraguan president and, through him, to the Nicaraguan government and people and the bereaved families of the victims.
It hoped that the Nicaraguan government would eradicate the aftermath of the natural disaster and stabilize the people's livelihood in the afflicted area as early as possible under the leadership of the president.

Here's a name you don't want to forget – Jesus Montero
If you haven't heard of Jesus Montero yet, don't forget the name. Montero is shooting up in value every single day.
The Yankees catching prospect is just 19 years old. He hails from Venezuela and has a bat that forces scouts to look his way. With Double-A Trenton, Montero is hitting .295 with five homers and 17 RBIs in 30 games (that's not counting the grand slam he hit on Saturday). He was promoted from Single-A Tampa where he hit .356 in 48 games.
Yankees fans already knew about Montero. At his first game in Trenton, fans came out to greet him.
"It was awesome for me," Montero said recently after a Thunder game. "There were a couple of people here. They were so happy. It meant a lot for them to do that for me. They were good fans and I'm really happy for them because they enjoy the game."
And, that's the part of Montero statistics won't show. Besides being a top hitter in the South Atlantic League, Montero is also friendly, funny and well liked in the clubhouse.
Montero says he reads all his fan mail and has been touched by many of the letters. The long bus rides are a good time to catch up on all the letter and requests the fans send him.
So, even though Montero is just a teenager, he already has a moment he calls the most important day of his life. Unlike many other prospects who tend to point to the day they signed a contract, Montero's day happened mid-season last year.
He played in the Future's Game at Yankee Stadium, the final season of the storied building.
"I used to tell my dad all the time that he's going to see me (playing baseball) on TV," Montero said. "He got to see me in the Future's Game last year. It was so great. It was amazing because my family was there."
Montero has made a name for himself in Baseball America as well. He rocketed to the third in the latest top 100 list. However, Montero knows there is work to be done.
"I don't focus too much on hitting. I'm working on a lot of catching drills," Montero said. "Right now, I just think about catching, catching, catching."
Montero has several prospects cards on the market, including an autographed, game-used 2008 Bowman Sterling. The refractors of this card go for big bucks. His first Bowman card appeared in 2008.

Do You Remember the Latino World Order?
by, 02-20-2012 at 09:19 PM (3127 Views)
One of my favorite things to do on this planet is to have someone call out a wrestling gimmick or wrestler and I will spill everything that I know or remember about said gimmick or wrestler. Today I was challenged with Hector Garza, and while all I remember of Hector Garza was his penchant for corkscrew planchas from the turnbuckle to the outside, I was inspired to remember the Latino World Order (lWo).
As long as Paul Heyman lives he will believe that everyone in wrestling was out to bastardize his vision and to profit from his genius. While I am not disputing these claims on anyone's behalf, I will maintain that ECW brought the luchadores to the US but WCW gave them a bigger stage to be highlighted on. Yes, Rey Misterio Jr. and Juventud Guerrera did have an epic match in ECW, those of us who subscribed to Bob and Jim's Basement Cable wouldn't have heard of an El Dandy, a Silver King or a Super Calo if not for WCW.
Between 1998 and 1999 you couldn't take a leak without WCW cramming the nWo into your ear. The story goes that Eddie Guerrero and Eric Bischoff about the direction WCW was taking and that argument was manifsted into a storyline. Jason Hervey (The rat-bastard older brother from the Wonder Years) had came up with the idea of a Latino nWo and was able to get the idea to fly because of his relationship with Bischoff.
Eddie Guerrero had been laid up for some kayfabe reason or another and when he returned he did so with a vengeance. Eddie came back to recruit the major Latino stars in WCW and bring honor back to La Raza (loosely translated to "The Mexican People"). Eddie rounded up the who's who of WCW's Luchadores (to be listed later) and I marked something fierce. The nWo black, white, red and purple were boring me to tears and finally I had something new to catch my attention.
This is the part where the Latino World Order shined. Eddie gathered everyone in his stable that he could and all of them joined except for one: Rey Mysterio, Jr. The details as to why Mysterio wouldn't join are still kind of fuzzy for me, but he wouldn't join and Eddie made life difficult for him. They had singled Rey Mysterio, Jr. out from his people and really put Mysterio's heart out to shine. Finally Mysterio joined and the Latino World Order was in swing.
The LWO wasn't given it's fullest opportunity to run. Eddie was in a car accident and the two factions of the nWo were coming back together. To celebrate their combined mediocrity, they laid the LWO out and threatened them with more bodily harm if they didn't abandon their colors. All of them did, except one: Rey Mysterio, Jr. Mysterio took quite a beating from the nWo on a few occasions until he finally moved on to something else that would propel him to the Super Star Status that we all know him for.
At the end of the day the LWO was: Eddie Guerrero (who went on to be huge in the WWE), Psychosis and Juventud Guerrera (who formed the Mexicools with Super Crazy), La Parka, El Dandy, Silver King, Villano V (there should be a good reason why Villano IV, who was active at the time, wasn't in the LWO. Injury perhaps?), Damien and Ciclope (who went on to be big names in XPW; Ciclope as "Halloween") Hector Garza and Art Flores who was the body-guard Spyder.
I hope that you remembered the LWO fondly; it was a lot of fun for me. Until next time my friends, Viva La Raza!

For an outline of a story, what would be a great attention-grabber for the book, "Of Mice and Men"?
I am really confused with what to put for this and my teacher didn't really explain that much about it
1 Answer | Add Yours
Well, if the teacher didn't fully explain what was wanted, that can be frustrating (I hate that!), but we can brainstorm general ideas.
What grabs attention? Drama and dramatic delivery. Think of a movie trailer or a voiceover. What would you show for Of Mice and Men? How about something like…
HE was a gentle giant…at least until you got him scared!
SHE was a painted floozy (tramp, etc.)…while she lived!
IT was a poor little dog who never hurt anyone…and never would again!

You have accessed the home page for Neuropsychology Rehabilitation Services. We are a multidisciplinary practice that offers a wide array of neuropsychological (NRS), traditional psychological services (LifeSpan) and legal services. From here you are able to access information about our services, as well as information regarding both our staff and office locations.
It is our goal to offer comprehensive, quality care from the time of consultation all the way through treatment. With a particular emphasis on health psychology we employ the use
of clinical skills adapted to those with medical conditions. Previously, physical health was separated from mental health and treated in different settings. We now realize the importance of emotional, cognitive and behavioral factors contributing to and a consequence of health, illness, or injury. We recognize the uncertainty and confusion that accompanies both traditional health and mental health issues and we hope to provide as much clarity as we can. The best way to get the answers to specific questions that are unique to your particular situation is to directly contact us.
Neuropsychology Rehabilitation Services
Out-Patient Program for the Brain Injured Patient
We can help. NRS provides answers and solutions to problems ranging from acute brain insults, e.g., head injuries, to chronic brain disease conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Often CAT scans, EEGs and MRI techniques are unable to detect some brain injuries and many patients are discharged confused and in need of further treatment. These traditional imaging techniques often fail to detect mild brain injury and are unable to examine thinking ability or upper and mid-brain ability. Accurate measures, e.g., the Neuropsychological Examination, are needed to examine thinking ability that goes beyond the scope of traditional imaging techniques. This "mental map" or blue print of thinking strengths and weaknesses are crucial in the planning and implementation of proper treatment. It is this approach that distinguishes NRS as a comprehensive, quality-care outpatient program.
We understand the pervasive impact an injury of any kind can have on both the life of the patient and their family and friends. The accurate diagnosis provided by the Neuropsychological Examination is only one important piece of the puzzle. Patients and their families need answers to real-world questions, NRS can provide these. A comprehensive assessment and treatment plan (based on the blue print provided by the patients NPE) is a crucial part of the quality-care provided by NRS. Problems associated with brain injuries such as irritability, excitability, anxiousness, impulsivity and thinking changes (memory, concentration, attention and judgment) may often go untreated and overlooked even when a patient is receiving other forms of rehabilitation, e.g., speech, occupational and physical therapy.
If you or someone you know has sustained an injury to the brain but still have unanswered questions or concerns contact NRS to schedule a consultation appointment so that you can get the care you deserve. Or, if you have noticed behavioral or thinking changes in yourself or someone else and have concerns about the possible development of a chronic brain disease NRS can provide accurate diagnosis and quality treatment.
What does the NPE involve?
The first step is to obtain adequate information to plan the NPE. This includes pertinent medical and psychosocial history that has prompted the referral.
After the relevant information is received, the second step is the neuropsychological consultation. This is an interview to help clarify the clinical condition and how the patient (and family) describes his or her functioning.
After the first 2 steps are done, the patient is in a position to undergo the NPE.
- Perceptual skills (hearing, seeing, feeling)
- Attention and concentration skills
- Memory
- Speech and language functions
- Visual spatial functions
- Speed of new learning (processing)
- Learning capacity
- Background intellectual level
- Speed and coordination of simple motor responses
- Emotional and behavioral characteristics
Psychological Counseling
For patients with conventional mental health issues LifeSpan – N.R.S. offers traditional psychological counseling. Unlike Medical Adjustment Counseling, the focus and approach is different in these circumstances. However, treatment goals are still approached with the intention of collaborating on more helpful ways of behaving and thinking. Through solution focused cognitive - behavioral therapy we aim to support, advocate for and motivate our patients toward healthy behaviors. We attempt to relieve intra-psychic conflict and modify unsuccessful coping strategies. Our treatment is based on individual patient needs. Some of the conditions we treat include, but are not limited to:
- Phobias
- Depression
- Eating Disorders
- Impulse Disorders
- Anger Management
- Anxiety and Panic Attacks
- Developmental Disorders
- Marriage and Couples Counseling
- Parental Guidance / Behavioral Mgmt. of Children
Medical Adjustment Counseling
Our practice specializes in Medical Adjustment Counseling (MAC). Unlike traditional Mental Health Counseling, MAC deals specifically with the emotional and thinking changes that often accompany medical conditions and physical trauma. Adjusting to, and understanding these changes can be extremely difficult for a person. Psychological overlay, that is, the emotional and behavioral impact of an injury, often accompanies physical trauma.
We Can Help
Our patients develop a variety of adjustment strategies in order to work effectively with their medical condition. The focus of MAC is on the residuals of the medical condition and unlike traditional psychotherapy not necessarily on past issues.
Our focus is three-pronged and addresses the concerns our patients have expressed over the years.

Forensic Neuropsychology
Forensic neuropsychology is an emerging subspecialty within clinical neuropsychology. Neuropsychological testimony can define the functional outcome of acquired neurological injuries in the legal decision process.
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation Services has been treating brain impaired patients for almost thirty years. Besides being one of the five original head injury facilities in New Jersey, Dr. Sica, a board certified neuropsychologist, is one of the original clinical advisory board members of the New Jersey Head Injury Association.

Magnetic Observations at Flagstaff & Melbourne Observatories
Image: Dip Circle - Henry Barrow & Co, London
Source: Museum Victoria
A major international effort to survey terrestrial magnetism had commenced in the 1840s, when British scientists had established a chain of magnetic observatories around the world, including one in Hobart. The practical reason for undertaking the research was to try to understand the reason for the changes in the earth's magnetic fields, which could effect the behaviour of compasses and thus the accuracy of ship's navigation. There were also hopes of finding fundamental scientific laws to explain the earth's magnetism, including the possible influence of the sun and moon on the variation in terrestrial magnetism. Southern Australia was an ideal place for an observatory because of its proximity to the Earth's south magnetic pole.
The Hobart Magnetic Observatory closed after a few years, but a young German scientist visiting Victoria in the early 1850s, Georg Neumayer, saw the potential for undertaking a full magnetic survey of Victoria and establishing a permanent observatory. Neumayer returned to Germany to gather support, funds and instruments, and arrived back in Melbourne in 1857. With support from the local German community and Victorian government, in 1858 Neumayer established the Flagstaff Observatory to undertake magnetic and meteorological observations. When Neumayer returned to Germany in 1864, the responsibility for the magnetic research fell to the newly established Melbourne Observatory, which inherited a set of instruments and observational methods that were of the highest international standard.
The measurement of the earth's magnetic field was a delicate task requiring special care in the location of the observatory and construction of the buildings. The Observatory itself had to be located away from any sources of magnetism, and the buildings housing the instruments were constructed without iron, including iron nails.
Instruments of different sensitivities were used to measure the daily changes in magnetism and the long-term changes; the results included measures of intensity, inclination or dip (the angle between the magnetic field and the horizon) and declination (the angle between magnetic north and true north). The hourly measurements were susceptible to the effects of changes in temperature, so the instruments were placed in a basement room with thick walls, in which the instruments were housed on stone pillars to protect them from vibration.
When Government Astronomer Robert Ellery visited Europe in 1876/77 the scientists at the principal physical observatories stressed to him the importance of the Melbourne series of observations, which were the longest running series close to the south magnetic pole. Upon his return Ellery was able to use their encouragement to extract funds from the government for a new magnet house, in which he subsequently installed all the magnetic, physical and meteorological instruments, which now used photographic apparatus to record their results.
The Observatory's magnetic work came to an end when Melbourne's railways and trams were electrified, for these generated substantial magnetic fields that would disturb the instruments. The First World War delayed the project, but a new magnetic observatory was opened in 1919 at Toolangi, approximately 50 kilometres north-east of Melbourne, and far enough away from any railway lines.
Because of their importance as one of the longest running series of observations of terrestrial magnetism, this work was continued when the Observatory was closed in 1944, and the observations are still being undertaken.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Three area Hy-Vee's decided to celebrate Valentine's Day a little early, by renewing about 120 people's wedding vows Saturday afternoon.
Collins Road Store Director Jeff Deahr said this is the first time their Hy-Vee has done an event like this. Deahr said about 50 people will be renewing their vows at this location and around 120 in all will renew their wedding vows.
"It's the month of love," Deahr said with a smile.
Dozens of couples took their turn renewing their wedding vows in front of strangers, friends and family. Each couple received a miniature wedding cake, two glasses of sparkling grape juice, a bouquet of flowers, a picture frame and a chance for a weekend trip.
Erica and Chris Gehrke have five children and have been married for 11 years; they met in high school biology. Erica Gehrke didn't think of entering the contest, but one of their daughters thought it would be a cute idea.
John Keizer, Pastor of the United Methodist Church in Springville led the processions, and mentioned he has married and renewed many vows over his 16 years as a pastor.
"I've done renewals, but never in a Hy-Vee," Keizer said with a smile.
Lisa and Michael Wojcik said they are lucky in love and have renewed their vows several times over their 15 year marriage that began at the Little Brown Church in Nashua. The couple said "it's in the cards" for them to be married for the rest of their lives.
"My parents celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary, and his just celebrated their 50th," Lisa Woicik said.
The Wojciks didn't mind sharing their wedding vow renewal date with over 100 other people.
"It's just as special for us as it is for them," Lisa Woicik said.
The couple mentioned during their vow renewal, that they acknowledge every month that it has been another month in their happy relationship.
Joyce and Chuck Bruggeman have lived in Cedar Rapids since 1975, and have been married for 38 years. Joyce said she passed the submission box for the wedding renewal event nearly ten times before she decided to enter her and her husband.
"I know he loves wedding cake," Joyce Bruggeman said with a laugh. Her husband jokingly responded, "I'm here for the wedding cake."
The Bruggemans held hands almost the entire ceremony.
When asked if they had ever renewed their vows before, Joyce Bruggeman said she didn't recall they ever did. But her husband looked at her and said, "We renew our vows every morning."

THE allocation of quotas to more fishing companies, especially Chinese companies, is a major concern because it is to the detriment of existing companies and the fishermen, says the president of the Namibia Fishing Industries and Fishermen Workers Union, Daniel Imbili.
Not only does the allocation decrease the size of the quota cake amongst all the companies, but it also leads to some having to keep vessels out of water because their quotas dried up, which eventually could lead to retrenchments.
Imbili blamed quota holders for an increased interest in selling rights to Chinese companies because they (the holders) are paid more for the quota, but at the end of the day workers are paid "peanuts", with no commission or other benefits.
He reiterated the recent concerns of the president of the Trade Union Congress of Namibia (Tucna), Paulus Hango, about fishermen who worked on a Chinese-owned trawler where working conditions were allegedly appalling.
It has come to light that China Fishery paid N$24 million to the fishing right holders for their quota, while other operators only pay about N$16 million for the same size of quota. The N$24 million is said to have been paid to a joint venture of five companies, including the Hefdy Group.
The Chinese vessel 'MV Leader' was manned by about 54 Namibians, 80 Chinese and 10 Indonesian fishermen. The vessel is owned by China Fishery Group Limited.
"Our stern warning goes to those Namibians in joint ventures with these Chinese companies to come to the table next year to discuss the security of Namibian sea going staff, or they will face the strong arm of the unions," said Imbili.
He said this was the first time a Chinese company has become involved in Namibia's fishing industry by having gained the right to catch the quota for local quota holders.
"You know the Chinese. You give them a foot in the door in the fishing industry, and the next thing they take it over. Look at what's happening in Namibia's construction industry," he said.
He said the involvement of the Chinese who apparently do not respect the labour law of the country "will lead to chaos, strikes and a lot of disputes", which will have a detrimental effect on Namibia's economy.
Imbili urged the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources to make all quota holders' names available so that the union can get in touch with them with related concerns.
"The quota holders are not taking those responsible to catch their quota into consideration [for how they treat Namibian workers], but are only interested in making money and looking for those who can pay more for their quotas," he said.

Family members of a 7-year-old Tracy, Calif., girl who they said was taken by woman and returned four hours later with drugs in her system described a person who appears to bear similarities to Melissa Chantel Huckaby, the woman charged with kidnapping and murdering 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, according to police logs of the incident.
The incident was reported on January 17 by a family in the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park in Tracy. Huckaby and Cantu also lived in the same trailer park before police found the little girl's body on April 10.
According to the police log, the woman who took the girl drove a purple Kia Sportage. Police towed a purple Kia Sportage registered to Huckaby the day after farmworkers found Sandra's body inside a suitcase dumped in a dairy lagoon.
The logs also said "Child is poss[ibly] with another residents granddaughter in a trailer." Huckaby is the granddaughter of residents of the trailer park, with whom she lived.
According to the police report, after the girl returned she tested positive for benzodiazepines, depressants that are prescribed as a sedative or to induce sleep, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and prevent seizures..
Tracy police said they could not discuss the reported abduction in January because it's part of the ongoing murder investigation.
This is the latest twist in the case against Huckaby, 28.
Just days after 8-year-old Sandra Cantu was laid to rest, a court is slated to hold a hearing on the latest twist in the case against her accused killer -- a request to exhume the second-grader's body.
Sandra's private funeral was held last Wednesday. One day later the request was filed to exhume her body so the defense for accused killer Melissa Huckaby would have an opportunity to conduct its own autopsy.
Huckaby's attorney, Deputy Public Defender Samuel Behar, professed to have no knowledge of the case when contacted by ABCNews.com, but a court document filed by Behar Thursday indicated the request was based on the deputy district attorney's belief that Sandra had suffered "genital trauma consistent with forcible penetration."
In addition to murder, Huckaby has been charged with the special circumstances of kidnapping, lewd and lavicious acts with a child and rape with a foreign object.
In the court document, Behar said the defense needed to examine the alleged trauma so Huckaby would be able to defend herself. He also requested the exhumation take place quickly, alleging that deterioration would cause Sandra's body to have "progressively diminishing value."
The request asked for the exhumation to take place last Friday, April 17,
A San Joaquin Superior Court spokeswoman said a hearing on the exhumation request is scheduled for Friday, the same day Huckaby is due back in court for a further arraignment where she would have the opportunity to enter a plea.
San Joaquin Deputy District Attorney Robert Himelblau told ABCNews.com today that his office would be filing a response to the request but did not elaborate.
Sandra's aunt, who has been acting as the family spokesoman, said she could not comment on the request.
"I wish I could, but I can't," Cantu's aunt, Angie Chavez, told ABCNews.com today.

While standing up, Pettis delivered 4 straight kicks to Henderson's body that clearly had an effect. After those kicks, the two exchanged blows in the middle of the ring, Pettis wound up on his back and in the guard. What happened next was a fantastic move to get Benson in an arm bar which resulted in a submission and a new Lightweight Champion. Check out the GIFS of the submission after the jump.

Marc Jacobs for Diet Coke: No Way.

Dance for Peace, people
By awoodall
Thursday, July 19th, 2007 at 3:19 pm in Uncategorized.
Compliments of Berkeley beat reporter, Kristin Bender, comes word of a Dance for Peace, Saturday, July 21, at the Berkeley Marina.
With the Bay as the backdrop and colorful kites flying overhead, Troupe Miari will put on an "interactive performance," where the dancers are the art. Coo–oool.
At 5 p.m. dancers will form a color wave of veils on the Berkeley Pier, and at 6 p.m. the dancers will come together at the north side of the parking circle at the trail/Bay edge for another performance.
Drummers wishing to accompany the dancers should call event organizer and choreographer Pat at (510) 741-1237.

What is the best approach for populating an applet with a dynamically generated list of items (from a database) for a jcombobox?
I have set up http tunneling that allows me to send and retrieve objects to a servlet. I do not want to have direct database calls from the applet and think the RMI serverside overhead is prohibitive as there will be many such tasks.
I am currently thinking that the applet would run a process at init that would request the object from the servlet and then create the jcombobox. Is there a better way?
thanks for your advice.

A Unique E-Book Concept Merges Dead Tree Pulp With the Web
November 13, 2012 | 6:30 pm
By Brian Howard | for Book Business
Fast Company has an article and video today on Polish art student Waldek Węgrzyn's ebook/pbook hybrid, an El Lissitzky-inspired project for his masters degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Katowice. Węgrzyn's project, a more or less hardwired physical book that interacts with a digital interface as it's read, is beyond mesmerizing. Plus, we give high marks to any and all El Lissitzky references.
From the article:
"The concept is as obvious as it is radical: instead of making readers choose between physical and digital, why not give them the best of both?"

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga scored in the sixth minute and led for the next 80 minutes only to see the lead slip away to Furman who edged the Mocs 4-3 in overtime Thursday night at Finley Stadium.
"People us the term 'heartbreaker' all the time," Chattanooga Head Coach J.D. Kyzer said. "But tonight was definitely a heartbreaker."
UTC senior Donna-Kay Henry (Queens Village, N.Y.) was working to get past the Furman defense late in the game and slipped the ball to teammate junior Becca Smith (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) a few feet away and Smith converted the goal from 10 yard out to give Chattanooga a 3-1 lead with 8:17 to play in regulation.
However, the Paladins stepped up the offense and cut the lead to 3-2 just one minute later on a corner kick then scored the equalizer with less than five minutes remaining in regulation.
"Things were clicking and we were playing so well," Kyzer said. "We're so young and we have never been in this situation with a lead on a very good team. We didn't stick to the game plan at the end and it hurt us."
Chattanooga jumped on the board early with a goal from freshman Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) at the 5:56 mark of the game. Smith sent a pass to Mackezyk in the middle who took the shot from 12 yards out and found the net for her fourth goal of the season.
Furman tied the match in the 11th minute on a goal from team-leading scorer Rachel Shelnutt. She eluded the defense and hit the shot into the lower right corner to tie the game at 1-1. The Mocs responded a short time later as Mackezyk found Henry in the box who converted on her fourth goal and put Chattanooga up 2-1 in the 17th minute.
The score remained unchanged throughout most of the rest of the game until Smith's goal, her league-leading 11th of the year, in the 81st minute game the Mocs a two-goal cushion. That wouldn't be enough to fend off Furman who then scored three unanswered for the win.
India Robinson stepped in to take her first corner of the night and found Dee Makris in front of the goal to cut the Mocs lead to 3-2. Just minutes later, Ali Simpson arced a shot from about 25 yards out on the right side and cleared Chattanooga keeper sophomore Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) to tie the match in the 86th minute.
Neither team could score before the clock wound down and in overtime Shelnut connected on her second goal of the match at the 92:10 mark to give the Paladins the 4-3 overtime victory.
"Furman is a good team and well coached," Kyzer said. "This was disappointing, just disappointing. We've now dropped three very close games and that makes it hard to keep the faith, but we're on the same page and playing some decent soccer right now and we'll take that with us to Wofford on Sunday."
Chattanooga falls to 5-6-1 overall and 0-5 in Southern Conference action while Furman improves to 8-5-1 overall and 3-1-1 in league play. The Mocs will begin a three-game road swing this Sunday at Wofford with a 2 p.m. start.
1. 5:56 UTC Crystal Mackezyk (4) Becca Smith
2. 10:47 FUR Rachel Shelnut (7) unassisted
3. 16:15 UTC Donna-Kay Henry (4) Crystal Mackezyk
4. 80:28 UTC Becca Smith (11) Donna-Kay Henry

|nothing funner to do on vacation than lay around with a fever
But we wanted to go skating. I promised to take them skating on the pond I skated on as a kid. So we bundled up and started out on a walk to the pond.
|Jellybean was layered in 2 snow suits
"We're doing this for FUN!" I yelled back to her, "But thank-you."
We didn't quite realize how cold it was outside, even then, with a person offering rides.
We kept going as the snow started to fall around us. My legs were freezing, but my feet were toasty thanks to the boots my friend lent to me. I don't know if I've seen her since high school, but thanks to a facebook conversation she, or her husband, dropped them off at my dad's house before I got to Canada. Actually, the girl's boots, Little's coat, and all the car seats I needed arrived the same way. (Well, and my brother who also installed all the seats in my dad's van before he picked us up at the airport. Okay, and the baby snowsuit from my sister.) It was really amazing and generous and thoughtful. Thank-you every one who helped out with our winter fun.
At last we reached the pond, there weren't many people skating.
|historical house that they moved here years ago
The skate rental place closes at -25C with windchill. Guess what? The skate shack was closed. We were lucky the pavilion was still open because otherwise we would be stuck out in the cold.
Try telling 3 kids who walked 20 minutes in the cold that they don't get to go skating now. The Boy was extremely disappointed. It was when trying to console him that I noticed the white blisters on his cheeks.
When you grow up in the frozen north you spend a lot of time in school learning about frostbite and how to recognize and treat it. I've never actually seen anyone with it before. It would be my kid.
Not well versed in the ways of scarves he cleverly pulled his down when it started to get wet from his breath and exposed his wet cheeks to the bitter, bitter cold.
I was kind of glad we couldn't rent skates because I needed to thaw him out.
|blurry close up of disappointed frostbitten boy
We sent Grandpa Shane back to get the van and pick us up. He got at least halfway there before realizing that the keys were in my pocket. Oops.
|because a playground is a playground, no matter the weather
Tired of waiting and sufficiently thawed out, we ventured out to the nearby playground. It was very cold, but they didn't care.
We would have to try skating another day.
