The clouds have stuck around this morning, and could make way for a potential wet afternoon. High pressure off to the east is steering moisture from the gulf right into southern texas and up towards the Concho Valley. Chances for thunderstorms stand around 30% and what we do see will be very isolated and scattered. Depending on how much cloud cover stick around and if we do see a storm or two will determine the high temperature for today. Right now going with a high near 90 degrees with partly sunny skies and winds out of the southeast 10 to 15 miles per hour. Thunderstorms could linger into the evening hours as well, that will help to keep the cloud cover and cap overnight lows to around 68 degrees and calm winds. Wednesday will start off a slightly warmer and drier forecast. Highs will top out near 92 degrees and partly sunny skies. As the high pressure mentioned previously heads back to the west rain chances look to be hindered. Staying dry for the rest of the work week and into the weekend, along with temperatures in the low to mid 90's. By next week another pattern very similar to today looks to be shaping up, giving us another possibility for thunderstorms.

The scary thing about Star Wars: Episode VII is that, supposedly, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Anthony Daniels have all already been signed. And none of them is getting any younger. If J.J. wants the Star Wars franchise to continue beyond Episode VII, he'll also need to sign next-gen cast members to carry the torch.
But not to worry. One of J.J.'s strengths is getting good performances out of his actors. That's the director's primary job on-set. I'm not sure Lucas ever understood what that is. He was so preoccupied with green screen and post-production that he treated actors like just another element of the FX.

Mogadishu — Sheikh Ibrahim Yakoub Shukri alias Sheikh Abu Zeinab, the head of the Social and Political Affairs of Union of the Islamic Courts has rejected the administration being formed by Al-Shabaab in Kismayu.
The clergyman accused the radical Islamist movement of masterminding the appointment of officials and that it sidelined other stakeholders.
"A small group who discussed behind doors framed the new administration on their own accounts," said Sheikh Abu Zeinab.
"We learnt the appointments they made through the media."
According to Sheikh Abu Zeinab, the formation of an administration is not easy and it should have been done through participatory means.
"Religious people, clan leaders, intellectuals and others important social components ought to be part of the ruling group in the town."
Sheikh Abu Zeinab said: "Those with no deep religious knowledge can not implement the Sharia (Islamic) laws," remarked Sheikh Hassan Yakoub Ali.
But, in response to wide speculation of the criteria used in selecting the members of the new administration in Kismayu, 500 kilometres south of Mogadishu and closer to the border with Kenya, a top member of the new authority, Sheikh Hassan Yakoub Ali, the new communication's official for Kismayu district, said that the Islamists who captured the town can determine the fate of the town.
"There is no point of others sharing the decision-making with the combatants who chased the clan militias away out of the district," the sheikh added.
The Somali transition government has recently indicated that it will take Kismayu over from the Islamists.
Yusuf Omar Al-Azhari, the political advisor of President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed said on September 2 that the government will rebel the turbaned men from Kismayu.
Colonel Barre Aden Shire alias Barre Hirale, a legislator with the TFG who also led the militia that lost Kismayu to Al-Shabaab on 22nd of August after three days of fighting, vowed to retake Kismayu.

Headquartered at 8, Place de la Concorde, Paris, the FIA consists of 213 national member organisations in 125 countries worldwide. Its current president is Max Mosley.
As is the case with football's FIFA, the FIA is generally known by its French name and acronym, even in English-speaking countries, but is occasionally rendered as International Automobile Federation.
In 1922, the FIA delegated the organisation of automobile racing to the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI), an autonomous committee that later became the Fédération Internationale du Sport Automobile (FISA). A restructuring of the FIA in 1993 led to the disappearance of the FISA, putting motor racing under direct management of the FIA.
In 1946 the true history of Formula One began in with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's (FIA's) standardisation of rules.
In 1950, the FIA organised the first World Championship for Drivers, known today as the Formula One World Championship for Drivers.
In 1953, the FIA created the World Sportscar Championship, the first points series for sports car racing in the world. This championship, under various names, was solely for manufacturers up to and including 1980. From 1981, a Drivers' Championship title was also awarded and from 1985 the manufacturers' title was replaced by a Teams Championship. The last World Sportscar Championship titles were awarded in 1992.
In 1973, the FIA organised the first World Rally Championship. The 42nd Auto Rally of Monte-Carlo became the first ever FIA World Rally Championship event.
In 1987, the FIA sanctioned the first World Touring Car Championship. Initially a one-off series, the title was revived in 2005.
In 1993, the National Hot Rod Association was officially recognized by the FIA World Motorsports Council and the FIA Drag Racing Commission was formed.
In 2008, the Nostalgia Hot Rod Association was officially recognized by both the FCC and the FIA as an independent entity.
The head of the FIA and chairman of the General Assembly is the President. The President is elected to a four-year term by the FIA General Assembly, and from October 2005 onward will not be permitted to serve more than two terms. The current President, who took office in 1993 and began his fourth term in 2005, is Max Mosley.
The 10-member FIA Senate consists the President of the Senate; the current and previous Presidents of the FIA; the Deputy President for the FIA Mobility and the Automobile group; the Deputy President for FIA Sport group; and five further members elected by the General Assembly. From FIA Statue #17: "The Senate takes the decisions required by the management of the FIA when circumstances do not permit a meeting of the Committee or of the World Councils, especially in cases of emergency; decisions thus taken must be confirmed during the next meeting of the Committee or of the relevant World Council."
The Senate also makes accounting and budget decisions, preparing draft budgets for the World Councils. The Senate forms sub-Committees on subjects such as Commercial Promotions, in order to make recommendations and review proposals.
The FIA World Council for Mobility and the Automobile governs all non-sporting FIA activities, and is headed by the Deputy President for Mobility and the Automobile.
The FIA World Motor Sport Council governs all the sporting events regulated by the FIA. It is also responsible for the promotion of safety in worldwide motorsport, the encouragement of standardized regulations, and the promotion of motorsport in new markets, including developing countries. The council consists of the FIA President, and Deputy President, seven FIA vice-presidents, and 17 other members. The seventeen others must represent a national sporting authority for at least one international event.
The FIA International Court of Appeal is the final appeal tribunal for international motor sport. It resolves disputes brought before it by any of motorsport's National Sporting Authorities world-wide, or by the President of the FIA. It can also settle non-sporting disputes brought by national motoring organizations affiliated to the FIA.
Other organisations and posts include the Mobility and Automobile commissions, sporting commissions, the FIA Deputy President for Sport, and the FIA Secretariat.
Martin Brundle wrote a column in the Sunday Times entitled "Witch-hunt threatens to spoil world title race" in this he accused the FIA of a witch-hunt against McLaren. The World Motor Sport Council has responded by issuing a writ against the Sunday Times on charges of libel . Brundle hit back saying that "I have earned the right to have an opinion" and suggesting the writ was a "warning sign to other journalists.The 2007 Formula One espionage controversy involved espionage accusations against McLaren who was accused of stealing secrets from Ferrari.
This was the latest in a long line of situations in which the FIA has been perceived as making decisions which are biased towards Ferrari and its drivers, particularly Michael Schumacher. Examples have included a succession of penalties for McLaren and its driver Lewis Hamilton in 2008, failure to disqualify illegal Ferraris at the 1999 Malaysian Grand Prix (thereby ensuring that Eddie Irvine retained a chance of winning that year's championship), failing to prevent the 2005 US Grand Prix tyre pullout, issuing minimal punishments for the team orders of 2002's races in Austria and America, and not issuing an on-track penalty for Felipe Massa being released into the path of Adrian Sutil at the 2008 Valencia Grand Prix.
The latest controversy occurred in the 2008 Belgian Grand Prix where Lewis Hamilton was given a 25-second penalty 2 hours after the race because he was deemed to have 'cut the chicane and gained an advantage' in duelling with Kimi Raikkonen. As a result Ferrari driver Felipe Massa won the race and Hamilton placed 3rd, meaning that the Hamilton's lead in the drivers table was reduced to two points over Massa instead of being extended to 8.
In 2008, accusations surfaced that FIA President Max Mosley was involved in scandalous sexual behavior. Following a June, 2008 decision of the FIA to retain Max Mosley as president, the German branch of the FIA, the ADAC (the largest European motoring body), announced, "We view with regret and incredulity the FIA general assembly's decision in Paris, confirming Max Mosley in office as FIA president." It froze all its activities with the FIA until Max Mosley leaves office. Press reports also claimed that Bernie Ecclestone was investigating creating a rival to the Formula 1 series due to the scandal.

I have spent well over $200.00 in the past couple of years searching for compression gloves that do not rip open at the seams or the threads do not unravel. And even with the gloves that were over $50 do not compare to the comfort and quality of these gloves. They are my new favorite, I wear them daily while in the office on the keyboard all day. They are excellent quality, stitching does not come out, I am very happy with them.
(Posted on 12/12/12)
I have used these particular compression gloves for about three months and found that for the mild arthritis I now have in my hands, these work very well. I can keyboard with no problem, and as a retiree, I have gone back to school and found note-taking and other school-related projects to be easier than my previous year's experience of no compression gloves. I like these for school and use another brand (Isotoner) for dog walking, hiking and playing "chuck-it" with the tennis ball with my lab. Also, the younger college students think the black gloves are cool, and frankly, they keep my hands warm during our fall, winter, and spring seasons in the Northwest.

HERS Breast Cancer Foundation
Providing Patients and Survivors with Help and Support
Women who are fighting breast cancer face multiple struggles. The most important, of course, is to beat the disease and survive. But treatments for breast cancer can actually create other struggles, including the emotional impact of dealing with physical scars or deformities after surgery and the hair loss often associated with chemotherapy. Helping women overcome those struggles is the mission of the HERS Breast Cancer Foundation, located in the Washington Women's Center at 2500 Mowry Avenue in Fremont.
"When you are facing something as devastating as breast cancer, you need every bit of help and support you can get," says HERS Breast Cancer Foundation Executive Director Vera Packard, M.D. "We offer a comprehensive array of services to help breast cancer patients and survivors feel good about themselves again after they've experienced the pitfalls of breast cancer."
Services offered by the foundation include:
- Bras for Body and Soul – Private fittings for attractive post-surgery bras, camisoles and prostheses in a comfortable setting and compassionate environment. All fittings are provided by one of the program's four professional breast-care specialists.
- Hair with Care – A wide selection of wigs to help breast cancer patients and other women going through chemotherapy to cope with disconcerting hair loss. The wigs can be custom-styled by the program's two wig consultants to suit each woman's style preferences.
- Lymphedema Project – This project provides upper-body compression garments to treat the swelling caused by lymphedema, which can result from removing lymph glands during breast cancer surgeries. Some insurance companies, including Medicare, do not cover these garments, so we offer them at a substantial discount to breast cancer survivors.
- We Support, You Survive – A program to provide post-mastectomy undergarments to underserved women who are not covered by health insurance or cannot afford these products because of other circumstances.
"Our breast-care specialists, wig consultants and other staff and volunteers all have great compassion for our patients and know how to make them feel at ease," says Program Director Polly Sherman, a registered nurse who also serves as one of the breast-care specialists. "For our staff, this isn't just a job – it's a labor of love. It's amazing for us to see the transformation of a patient's spirit when she's trying on beautiful undergarments or a wig. We try to get fun items in pretty colors so that our patients can go out feeling pretty again.
"Another important aspect of our programs is that we are a non-profit organization, and we work with women to sort through the red tape of their insurance coverage," she adds. "We also offer assistance to women who have no insurance coverage. There are a few commercial stores that provide some of these services, but none that provides the emotional and financial assistance that we do, and that's why we like to say that we are a soft place to fall."
Dr. Packard notes that Washington Hospital has provided free space for the foundation at the Women's Center since 2004, which helps the foundation provide its services at low- or no-cost. "We are grateful to Washington Hospital for providing us with facilities for our programs and their support of our two main fundraising efforts – the annual KEEP ABREAST Walk each September and the People With Purpose awards luncheon in April," she says.
"This year we received more than $35,000 from our People with Purpose luncheon, and last year's KEEP ABREAST Walk raised close to $100,000," she adds. "The support from the community and from other organizations that conduct fundraisers for us has been very gratifying. With insurance plans cutting back on coverage and the high rate of unemployment, our job has become more difficult, but so far we haven't had to turn anyone away."
Dr. Packard has directed the foundation's efforts for the past four years, but she views her current role as a continuation of a lifetime commitment.
"I spent 20 years as a breast cancer surgeon in Brazil, and then I moved to America after I met my true love and got married," she recalls. "I came to the foundation because I was looking for a way to continue following my passion of caring for women with breast cancer. As a doctor, I cared for one patient at a time. Today, our dedicated staff and volunteers now serve over 700 women each year. We all feel that this is the work we were meant to do."
Appointments for HERS Breast Center Foundation services are strongly encouraged, 510-790-1911. For more information about the foundation, including the KEEP ABREAST Walk scheduled for September 29, visit www.hersbreastcancerfoundation.org. People interested in serving on the foundation's board of directors may call Dr. Packard at 510-790-1954.

Ombre Claire is a brand of silver, vermeil and gold jewellery. Aude Durou, the designer, has multiple sources of inspiration from her journeys, shapes she gives to Touaregs craftmen so that they can create the collections. Men hammer metals with forge, women embroider leather tassels. In the middle of the Sahara desert, collections are created. Beyond the social project that jewels creation in Niger represents, this work first and foremost weaves different cultures together with a common horizon. There's a mixture of different universes, Inuits, Japanese or Mexican patterns, children stories are mixed with the original oral Touared tradition. The aim is to confuse, to forget where the jewels comes from, to imagine your own story and thus mix your knowledge with your dreams. This shouldn't be formal, the jewels don't want to be too precious, they're here to evolve as we do, and to call images to our minds.

Suppz.com started out as Fennimore Fitness, a gym in the small town of Fennimore, Wisconsin. We started selling supplements out of our gym, and then decided to sell them on eBay as well.

We started out slow, but we've been growing at an amazing rate... no doubt it's because of our great prices and customer service. We don't sell as much as the big retailers, so we don't get the best wholesale prices, but we still try to be the lowest price on our supplements. We also like to think we have great customer service. You can always get ahold of us quickly by phone, email, or live chat.

A man walks past debris from damaged buildings after a suicide bomber carried out an attack near a base used by forces loyal to Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in Qamishli December 6, 2013. REUTERS/Stringer
DAMASCUS: A suicide car bomber detonated his explosives near a building manned by paramilitary forces in a mainly Kurdish town in northeastern Syria Friday, killing at least five people, according to the state news agency and activists.
The blast in Qamishli comes as clashes between Kurdish gunmen and Islamic militant groups led by the al-Qaida-linked Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant have left hundreds of people dead in recent months.
Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria, making up more than 10 percent of the country's 23 million people. They are centered in the impoverished northeastern province of Hassakeh, wedged between the borders of Turkey and Iraq. The capital Damascus and Syria's largest city, Aleppo, also have several predominantly Kurdish neighborhoods.
Assad's forces largely pulled out of the region late last year when the Syrian military was stretched thin by fighting with rebels elsewhere in the country, effectively ceding control of the area, though they maintain some security posts. Their withdrawal sparked a fierce competition between rebels - mainly Islamic militant factions - and the Kurds.
Kurdish gunmen have been able over the past few months to drive out Islamic militant fighters allied to the rebellion from most of their areas in northeastern Syria. Last months, Kurds declared their own civil administration in areas under their control.
Syria's state news agency SANA said the explosion occurred on a crowded street in Qamishli, which is in Hassakeh, killing six people and wounding 30.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has a network of activists around the country, said the attack targeted a building manned by pro-government gunmen known as National Defense Forces. It said the blast killed at least five and wounded 10.
The Observatory said it is not clear if the dead were members of the National Defense Forces.

Publisher's Description
Years ago, a cartoon appeared in a Russian newspaper picturing a fork in the road. One path was labeled freedom; the other path was labeled sausage. As we might guess, the path to freedom had few takers; the path to sausage was crowded with footprints. When given a choice people will choose bread and sausage above the free market and individual liberties. The promise of bread gets votes, even if the bread is at the expense of freedom. The people of Nazi Germany weren't any more barbaric, uncivilized, or depraved than any other Western nation of the early Twentieth Century, yet the Nazi regime will forever serve as an example of brutality and extreme racism run amok. What led so many people to such extreme ends?
According to Dr. Lutzer, the German people's progression from civility to barbarity was not extraordinary, and more than a few benchmarks from their transition can be observed in present day American society (Do any of these sound familiar?): The Church is silenced, the economy is king, the lawmakers determine behaviors, the media controls beliefs, the Gospel and nationalism become inextricably tied to each other, and yet, heroes still have power.
This short, manageable book does not suggest the United States is definitely marching toward authoritarian oblivion, but that we - especially we believers - must be vigilant in our stand for truth, justice, and righteousness.
We must take note of these lessons from history. The parallels are real, but the conclusion is not a foregone one.

David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Don't say, "It can't happen here!"March 17, 2014David GoughAlexandria, VAAge: 55-65Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5A couple of years ago, while reading Eric Metaxas' biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I recall thinking that the conditions which foreshadowed Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Nazi-Germany could very easily be repeating themselves in modern-day America. I am not a "prophet of doom"--in fact, I rarely have patience with those who are--but neither am I blind to the vulnerability of a people willing to cast off long held, divinely-instilled biblical beliefs during challenging societal times. Erwin Lutzer's book has reaffirmed my perceptions. Germany was ripe for the pseudo-promises of a self-proclaimed messiah because, among other things, its churches and their pastors were weak. The world ended up paying an exorbitant price! This small volume, written by the long time pastor of Moody Church in Chicago, serves as a powerful reminder and wake-up call to the church in our day to stand fast in the grace that has set us free. The author parallels the decline of Germany in the days just prior to World War II with the drift we are seeing today away from the authority of God's Word. One cannot help but be struck with the posturing of today's self-interest, humanistic groups as they push their personal agendas--with government assistance!--and compare it with the passivity among a German citizenry that eventually brought about their succumbing to the damnable dogma of a mad man. Lutzer extends to the church a call for vigilance, and he issues a challenge for today's church to seize this wonderful opportunity to make Christ known. Most of us are familiar with the quote, "He who does not learn from the past is destined to repeat it." I am reminded of another, spoken by Sir Edmund Burke: "All that it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." May the church of the Lord Jesus Christ arise in our day and seize this present moment to boldly and clearly declare the life-giving Gospel for His eternal glory!

No films, no commitments, and not even the excitement of his daughter Athiya's film debut - Suniel Shetty has put aside his work and priorities for the sake of his father, who is unwell.
To make sure his father is comfortable, Suniel has even converted an entire flank of his home in South Mumbai into an ICU.
"I haven't had a proper night's sleep for three months now. It's a very mixed kind of feeling for me. On the one hand my daughter Aathiya is getting ready for her film career. On the other hand my father is very unwell," said Suniel.
Athiya has left to shoot for her debut film "Hero" with Suraj Pancholi in Manali.
"The excitement of Aathiya's debut is sadly diminished. At the moment we're all focusing on looking after my father," said Suniel.
His father's frail health is the reason why Suniel was away from the Celebrity Cricket League matches.
Suniel is aghast about the stories that he had an on-field fracas with Aftab Shivdasani.
"How can I 'come to blows' with anyone, least of all a guy as sweet and gentle as Aftab? It is very embarrassing to read such stories, specially at a time when I am going through a personal crisis. Right now nothing is more important to me than my father's health," he said.
Suniel is in fact saying no to movie offers.
"There will be many opportunities for work later. The time spent with my father now is much more vital and valuable," he said.
He is not the least perturbed about his daughter's shooting schedules outside Mumbai.
"I know she's in completely safe hands. Salman Khan's production crew is like family to us. They look after both Aathiya and Sooraj like their own children," he said.

America's Next Top Model
Happy Birthday, Tyra! 10 Reasons Why We Love ANTM's Resident Diva
Today is Tyra Banks' 38th birthday and we promise, we're not just saying this: Ty Ty looks exactly the same as she did twenty years ago. Age defiance is just one of the many reasons Miss Tyra makes livin' life look good. We're celebrating the top 10 things we love most about the America's Next Top Model hostess, including her big, beautiful brain.
1. She is a published author: Tyra wrote Modelland, "her baby," as we learned on this week's episode of Cycle 17: All Stars, and we have to give it to her: this tome sounds creative.
2. She is a Harvard Business School student. Yes, in between running her fast-expanding company, Bankable Productions, hosting ANTM, and making speaking and media appearances throughout the year, Tyra makes the time to attend an Ivy League university to do it all even better.
3. Tyra Talk: "Tooch your booty," "smize," and "pot lodem" are just a few of the most recent additions to the English language, courtesy of Ty Ty.
4. She inspires girls to become women. Jokes aside, we admire Tyra's endurance and determination in enhancing younger girls' self-esteem. She genuinely wants to show them how to gain more confidence, and how to overcome their pasts, no matter how traumatic. Check out TZONE to learn more.
5. She's the weave queen. Have you ever seen anyone pull off a weave like Tyra?
6. Her endlessly eccentric wardrobe of weirdness. We only need to point to her uni-capelet-with-suspenders look at judges' panel this week judges' panel to demonstrate how fabulous Tyrawear is.
7. She's a groundbreaker. Tyra was the first African American woman on the covers of GQ and Sports Illustrated.
8. She wore the best fat suit ever. If you're like us, you will never forget the day that Tyra put on an enormous and embarrassing pink velour-clad fat suit for Good Morning America.
9. She doesn't act like she needs a man. Tyra chose to make money on her own rather than finding a rich man who will support her while she pops out babies. In the end, it's worked out well for Tyra: Her salary is estimated at $23 million annually and she runs an extremely profitable empire. Of course, Tyra does have a boyfriend (banker John Utendahl) but she has never acted like she needed a man to make her millions.
10. She's a thumbsucker for Tyson Beckford. Above everything, one of the best things Tyra has ever done is suck on Tyson's thumb like a lollipop on national television. You go, Tyra.

Ladies and Gentlemen, would you please put your hands together and give a big round of applause for 09-09-09! Yes that exclusive date on the calendar has finally arrived, and no P.R. megacorp could have drummed-up a stronger strapline. Whichever way you look at it, 09-09-09 simply rolls off the tongue, it's got traction, it's the whole ball of wax. Mind you, I can't remember anyone making hay out of 08-08-08 or even 07-07-07 for that matter. A missed opportunity of course was the year of 1961. That was the only chance in our lifetime where the numerals read the same when they were turned upside down. It's a sobering thought that such a date will not come around again until 6009. It was though in 1961 that the Beatles began to feature some of their own songs on stage, including 'The One After 909′. Maybe the lads had a crystal ball, because 09-09-09 has been impregnated into the public conscious over the past few months in a bid to herald the arrival of "The Beatles: Rock Band Video Game".
Following the success of RedOctane's "Guitar Heroes" (a format that has done wonders for rusting Heavy Metal outfits), the B.R.B. video is destined to elevate wannabes into potential "Pop Idol" candidates. The process of depicting John, Paul, George and Ringo in a subliminal form is nothing new of course. Beginning in 1965 a Beatles cartoon series aired on ABC-TV in the States, and around the same time Madame Tussauds unveiled its very own Beatle waxworks – although the less said about that the better. It is a little known fact that up until 1967 no one had ever used the term 'Band' in conjunction with a beat group before. In their efforts to stay one jump ahead, the Fab Four took out a series of full page ads in the music press to promote their latest work as being by The Beatles – "A Band". Once again, the 'rock music' lexicon was in need of adjustment.
On June 1st 1987 I was invited to Abbey Road to be present at the CD launch of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". I shall never forget the experience, not just because of the aural improvements that had been made since the album's vinyl release (cue: 'twenty years ago today') but because of the reaction of those present. At the time I was producing in London as well as broadcasting on the BBC, so naturally I imagined that I might be joined by a few fellow deejays and some industry faces. It turned out that everyone present hailed from Fleet Street. As the music unfolded in its new set of digital clothes I began grooving away. When I looked around, to my astonishment I couldn't see a single finger twitching or a foot tapping to the pulse of 'Rita', '64′ or 'Mr. Kite'. Sure, there were plenty of notebooks being scribbled in, but there was no sign of any passion or any muscle moving to the beat of the Beatles. Those blasé pencil pushers were clearly devoid of any soul.
Newly-mastered yet again, the groups' abiding legacy now sounds as fresh as a daisy. I make no bones about it. Right there is an indirect reference to the finest Beatle soundalike ever recorded – 'Fresh As A Daisy' by Emitt Rhodes. Full credit to Paul, Ringo, Yoko and Olivia Harrison for the time and effort they've given to getting this crucial project right. Let's be honest, the industry has come a long way since the days when names were mis-spelt and lyrics were misheard. Who remembers when photos were printed the wrong way around, thus making southpaws out of John, George and Ringo, and Paul seemingly playing a right-handed bass. Whilst the gravy train is rolling, let us spare a thought for the manufacturers of Beatle wigs. If a certain Rod Blagojevich has his way, Beatle haircuts could soon be back in style. The mop-haired former Governor of Illinois who was impeached back in January, is currently in New York promoting his 259-page memoir. The tome likens his demise to a Shakespearean tragedy so, altogether now, "Yeah, yeah, yeah verily".

Gregarious cyclists who find that two is too few for company can now put tandems behind them, with a bicycle built for eight. Eric Staller, his family and several of his friends recently completed a successful run on 'Octos' in New York's Central Park. Romance is out, teamwork in; the bike demands the combined pedal power of seven pairs of legs, plus extra effort and steering skills from the lead cyclist. Staller's son, in the baby seat, went along for the ride. Teamwork from Staller, his wife Deborah and their friend Tim Mills produced the machine in four months.

Mexico has recently been plagued by a harsh drought, which has reduced crops of marijuana for illegal drug cartels. According to Commander of army forces in the state of Sinaloa, Pedro Gurrola, the lack of rains has significantly impacted the planting of marijuana.
Gurrola said that army surveillance flights revealed fewer plantations than in previous years.
The drought's impact on growing unfortunately has not had the same impact on the prominence of Mexican drug cartels. Gurrola explained that cartels are resorting to making synthetic drugs. Mexican authorities are working to seize chemicals used to make synthetic drugs, including methamphetamine, in order to keep drug cartels at bay.

Pasta e Fagioli
After a few weeks of traveling, and featuring guests,
Debi and I are finally back in Los Angeles, between the stove and the camera…very happy feeling.
Today we are unveiling you the secret of another very ancient and traditional dish: Pasta e Fagioli (Pasta in a thick Bean Soup).
Again, as we never will get tired telling you, this is another family recipe, everybody in Tuscany cooks it in their house, and there are a lot of variations.The one I learned to cook comes straight out of my grandmother's kitchen: "Please don't tell your father I suggested you use pork!", she said…
Don't worry Nonna, dad does not look at my recipes on the web, our secret is well kept…..for the moment at least.
Come in,
let's get cookin'!!!
Serves: 6 / Prep time: 10 min / Cook time: 40 min
Rinse well the beans and Soak them overnight.
Bring your 8 cups of water to a boil, add the beans, stir well, and cook for about 40 minutes.
Broil the pork ribs in the oven. Season them with some salt and pepper, cut them apart and lay them on a large tray and put them in the oven…you should settle for nothing less than a nice golden brown crispy skin.
In a non stick pan saute' the garlic and the rosemary in about 2 tbs of Olive Oil. When the beans are cooked, take them out of the water and puree them, and then put them back into the pan; save some beans intact, it will help the look and the texture of the soup.
Add the garlic and the rosemary, along with the oil you sautéed them in, the 8 Oz. of Pelati and the broiled ribs.
Add salt and pepper to your likings.
Stir well every 5 minutes, for about 20 minutes.
Give a chance to the tomatoes to brake, get into the sauce, and then be patient while the soup starts thickening.
In a pot of salted water, cook the pasta, and rinse it with a sprinkle of cold tap water, right after you drain it. Put it into a large bowl, add some oil and stir well; this will help the pasta stop cooking and stay separated, ready whenever you are, to be added to the soup.
When the beans are ready serve them in individual bowls (with or without adding the meat, depending on your taste or your guests), add some pasta, sprinkle with pepper and some extra virgin olive oil. Parmesan cheese is always an option, even if in this case not really my favorite…still worth trying, I guess.
Buon Appetito.
Debi & Gabriele

Summer Research
Student and professor research focuses on quality of life the world over
Benefits of study at a small, private college like EMU are opportunities for hands-on, extensive research projects with caring professors. That was the experience this summer for several EMU students who worked closely with professors in research on campus and overseas.
Jakob zumFelde and Nonglak Samantarat, the Thai PhD student whom he worked with, display wastewater samples in the laboratory at the Asian Institute of Technology near Bangkok, Thailand where zumFelde spent five weeks this summer doing research.
Researching water sanitation and quality in Asia
EMU students Jakob zumFelde, Chrissy Kreider and Gene Fifer teamed up with three students from Buffalo (NY) State College to work on projects related to water sanitation in Cambodia and Thailand. Doug Graber Neufeld, professor of biology at EMU, gave oversight to the group.
Graber Neufeld and his wife Christina earlier served two years with Mennonite Central Committee in Cambodia, where he worked on projects related to environmental toxicology.
The students worked with Thai and Cambodian colleagues on projects related to water sanitation. ZumFelde and one Buffalo student worked at the Asian Institute of Technology on what happens to sewage in a local community when the sewage and accompanying rain water runs into open canals and then into a local lake.
Chrissy, a junior biology major from Columbia, Pa., worked at a non-governmental organization (NGO) outside Phnom Penh, Resource Development International, doing survey work and testing drinking water in rural villages of Cambodia. She looked at the impact of drinking water education, following up on work that 2009 graduate Laura Cattell did there last year.
Chrissy Kreider prepares to test drinking water in a Cambodian village.
Working with people of different faiths and cultures
"The experiences that I have had at EMU – such as doing research in classes, history courses that sought to understand all of the aspects behind an event or situation and an openness to dialog despite faith, culture, or other' perspectives – have assisted me in making the most of the opportunities that I was blessed with here in Cambodia," she said.
"It's been so refreshing to see how people of different faiths and cultures can work together to not only advance science, but the quality of life for many rural Cambodians," she added. The Khmer people (Cambodians) have suffered through a difficult history, even within my lifetime, but the openness, warmth, richness of their relationships is inspiring and often humbling."
Fifer, a senior environmental science major from Harrisonburg, did village survey work with Resource Development International on the feasibility of implementing composting toilets to deal with human waste.
Graber Neufeld noted that the Cambodian project is part of a National Science Foundation grant that is designed to give undergraduates experience doing research overseas. The primary thrust is "to show students how science is done in a culture very different from their own," he said.
"Our hope is that in the future, if they pursue science careers, these students will have a broader concept of how science is relevant beyond our own borders and how it can be used for the 'public good' in the broadest sense," Graber-Neufeld said.
Student Elisa Troyer (pictured below) says the long hours of research on these invasive fire ants led to discussions of difficult life issues and resolutions with their professor and mentor Matthew Siderhurst.
Elisa, a junior biochemistry major from Harrisonburg, prepares for her work outside the USDA facility in Hilo, Hawaii.
The Hawaii research team (students David Showalter, Nate Derstine, and Elisa) consider real-life applications for their ongoing research.
Time with professors leads to meaningful discussions
EMU students Elisa J. Troyer, a junior biochemistry major from Harrisonburg; Nathan Derstine, a senior biology major from Harrisonburg, and David N. Showalter, a 2009 biochemistry graduate from Harrisonburg, worked with Matthew Siderhurst, associate professor of chemistry, on the Big Island of Hawaii. The project, funded by a grant from the Hawaii Invasive Species Council, focused on ways to control the little fire ant in Hawaii through through identification and applications of their alarm pheromone(s).
"Working for Dr. Siderhurst has been invaluable, beyond learning the scientific research process," said Elisa. "I spent hours in the field counting ants under the sun or working in the lab on some odd job or another, but it was during those hours of would-be monotony that we all discussed difficult life issues and how we react to them.
"Over the past two summers, I have found that a professor can do more than teach in class, but can also become a mentor and friend," she said, adding: "Sneaking in a trip to Hawaii certainly doesn't hurt either."
Projects close to home in the Shenandoah Valley
Back on campus, Stephen Cessna, associate professor of chemistry, worked with two students on a project with the Shenandoah Valley partnership for research experiences of undergraduates in molecular biology.
Andrew (Drew) Kirk, a junior biology and biochemistry major from Harrisonburg, measured antioxidants (vitamin C and E, carotenoids, etc.) in tomatoes grown in different conditions – inside versus outside the green house, in an environmental chamber under cold stress with high light versus low light and other settings.
Jie Ren, a student at J. Sargent Reynolds Community College who is considering transferring to EMU, measured free fatty acids – including omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids – in the same tomato plants.
This research is being supported by EMU's collaboration with the National Science Foundation, through a partnership with James Madison University and Bridgewater College and also by the United States Department of Agriculture, through a grant that Dr. Cessna received for his sabbatical work. The students were able to use some new laboratory instruments acquired through another NSF grant.
Cross-cultural research experiences open doors
Her summer research experience has left Chrissy Kreider longing for more.
"As the research aspect of my journey to Asia ended," she said, "I struggled with saying goodbye to the people that have come to mean so much to me. I find myself pursuing the possibility of returning to Cambodia in volunteer work next summer."

Elegant Loafing
Laces: who needs them? When I was a young lad at school, purchasing shoes was a regular activity. My feet grew rather quickly in my early teens and I was taken to Russell & Bromley sometimes three or four times a year.

As a wide eyed and naive child, I had no tolerance for acknowledging timeless … [Read more...]

SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico: Mexico could legalize marijuana within the next five years, stripping brutal drug cartels of a major source of income, former President Vicente Fox said on Friday.
Fox, who battled the powerful cartels while president between 2000 and 2006, has since become a staunch advocate of reforming Mexico's drug laws, arguing that prohibition has helped create the criminal market that sustains the gangs.
Under his successor, Felipe Calderon, Mexico launched a military offensive to crush the cartels, but the violence spiralled instead, and more than 70,000 people have been killed in drug-related bloodletting since the start of 2007.
Legalization was the best way of ending the "butchery" of the drug gangs, Fox said as he hosted a conference in support of the measure in his home state of Guanajuato in central Mexico.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office in December, is opposed to legalization, but he has said that the decision by the U.S. states of Washington and Colorado to legalize recreational marijuana use has given him a more open mind.
Asked by Reuters whether Mexico could legalize marijuana by the time Pena Nieto's term ends in 2018, Fox said:
"I think it's going to happen much sooner. Once California gets into this, Mexico is going to be obligated to speed up its decision process."
Previous bills to legalize marijuana in Mexico have failed to move forward and a majority of Mexicans oppose such a move.
California, which borders Mexico, rejected a 2010 measure to legalize cannabis, though medical marijuana is legal.
Plans are still underway to legalize recreational use of marijuana in California, and Tom Angell, a spokesman for Marijuana Majority, a U.S.-based group in favor of cannabis reform, said the state was very likely to vote again by 2016.
Fox's view reflects a wider trend in Latin America where a number of former and current leaders, including Guatemalan President Otto Perez, are backing alternative approaches to U.S.-backed strategies of eradication and interdiction.
The 71-year-old Fox, whose election in 2000 for the conservative National Action Party (PAN) ended seven decades of one-party rule in Mexico, worked closely with the United States during his time in office to combat Mexican drug gangs.
But after leaving office, he became a fierce critic of the strategy pursued by his party colleague Calderon.
That angered many in the PAN, and Fox sparked more uproar during last year's presidential election campaign by encouraging Mexicans to support Pena Nieto of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which ruled Mexico between 1929 and 2000.
Fox has been campaigning for marijuana legalization at a series of events this year in the United States and Mexico.
On Friday he was joined by former Microsoft executive James Shively, who plans to create the first U.S. national marijuana brand, as well as a wide range of activists and academics that included former Mexican health minister Julio Frenk.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa A call center will hire 325 new employees.
Thomas L. Cardella & Associates will hire the permanent, full-time workers because the company has signed two new clients and expanded services for two existing clients.
Thomas Cardella, the company's president, declined to name the clients, but said the expansion is for a technical client and an online retail company, and the addition is for a large catalog business and a credit card processor.
The majority of the 325 new positions will be customer service representatives, Cardella said. Of those, 150 will be technical jobs, 75 will be for catalog positions, and the remaining 100 positions will be split between the two expanded clients.
Some management positions also will be added.
The jobs will be based at the facility on 4515 20th Ave. SW in Cedar Rapids. Cardella said he took possession of the building and will begin moving in in a couple weeks.
The company is headquartered at 2738 Edgewood Road SW, where 120 people work. Over the next two to three years, Cardella said he expects to employ between 500 to 600 at the facility on 20th Avenue SW.
The remainder of the staff work in Coralville, Keokuk and Marshalltown.

Absolutely, this is a wonderful second book in the trilogy...though there are still some unanswered questions..
I love Alisha, but Michael is also one of my favorites. Lish is just amazing and strong. Michael is brilliant and sweet.
I enjoyed Sister Lacy in "The Passage" but, I like the portrayal of Lila in this book
Amy, I really would like to ask her all she knows and who all the people she was with after she left Walgast were. I'd also like to know more about April...
This book was a really wonderful read-listen- and I am excited for the next book, hoping it answers all of the questions I still have from the first book.
"Not as good as The Passage"
Not nearly as good as the passage. Seems slower paced, contrived.
Preaching religion.
He's okay.
Was really looking forward to this book after listening to The Passage. Not looking forward to third book.
I listen to a lot of audio books and tend to like books that are dark in content and humor.
"Can't wait for the third."
Probably before the third one comes out.
Poor Sara.
He does an okay job.
Not as much as The Passage but still good.
Arctic Rhino
"Slow Trickle turned into Torrent"
The initial pace of the book was a let down and I almost considered shelving it. Luckily, it picked up and was a worthwhile read. Readers who are jumping into the series at this point beware; I think this book is not an entry point into the series as some trilogies allow. You had to have previous knowledge of the characters and their plight to appreciate the book. The back stories only allow you a glimpse.
The first installment of this trilogy was excellent. This book compares nicely in both character development and plot.
I found myself missing the protagonists in this book. They became real people to me and that's the sign of a good book. Also, I found that I truly hated the antagonists in this book and that is equally important.
"not as good as the first one"
May be better as a read book; plot got a bit unwieldy and it seemed like it needed more editing; interesting ideas but characters seemed 2-dimensional.
"Don't be lured by the first one!"
It's not on the same level as the first book which I really liked. Story too complex. Confusing. Hard to follow. Characters weak (other than in "The Passage"). The book has its moments but all in all too broad. With a 4 star rating this book is overrated. I would give it 2,5 stars - no more. I had high expectations - maybe that's why I am disappointed...
Most likely I will read part 3, but JC has to improve!
I liked the narrator. Same "style" as in the first book. Without him the ratings would have been worse in my opinion. Good performance.
Has its moments which remind of the first book. All in all too weak.
If you didn't like the first book or thought it was "so, so" - hands off this one. You need to be a fan to get through this one.
"I like the story but..."
I like the characters and the story line. I don't mind the religious overtone to a point but if your not a christian and don't want a lecture sermon you might want to pass on the book.
A story line that I could follow or understand.
Yes. I have listened to others that he narrated. The content was not able to be appreciated even in his voice.
I tried....I really did. I do like long drawn out books that are good reads, but this one was not to me a good read.
This book takes a special type of reader. I read all of the great comments about this series and thought it was something I needed to get in on. I love long books that I can listen to while I work. I dont know what I was expecting but I feel like he introduces characters and then they go away then in come new characters. I just can not follow the book. I am into the 5th hr and I just dont get it. I dont see the point or the hero or whatever I am so lost and dissapointed with this book. I even thought maybe its me and came back to this book and started over after listening to a different book but I just dont get it. I dont want to spoil the story or what I dont understand about the story because I hate reading spoilers in reviews but..... the 1 thing I do understand about this book is where the creatures originated from. But the point of the story after that is tedious and so lost in the details that I can not find it in myself to listen until the end (where i am sure it is all brought together).
"Should come with a PDF flow chart of characters"
There is literally a boat load of characters. The time jumps would not have been a problem but each leap introduced someone new making the characters vague. I felt disconnected from the characters because of the mélange of storylines.
big sky
"Sequel lacks punch and excitement of The Passage"
I really enjoyed the Passage, but The Twelve just doesn't stack up. The characters that were developed in the first book seemed thin and generally not as interesting as in the first book. I just didn't care about them in this book.
Scott Brick's narrative style of making most sentences full of breathy emotion was particularly annoying in this rendition.
The plot is not tightly written and so highly fragmented between characters, flashbacks, switches of venue, that it's hard to feel attached to the characters from scene to scene.
If there was a third installment I wouldn't read it. But I recommend the Passage which is original, much tighter and with much better character development.

The Los Angeles Kings say they are missing the puck that was on the ice when the franchise won their first Stanley Cup.
Rich Hammond of LA Kings Insider believes New Jersey's Patrik Elias has the puck.
"The following video of the last two minutes of the game, and the ensuing celebration, clearly shows New Jersey's Patrik Elias flip the puck into his glove and then skate off the ice. After it goes into Elias' glove, it's not seen again. Elias goes to the Devils' bench, then returns to the ice after a few moments for the handshake line."
"I've made queries to the highest levels of Kings management, and nobody knows the whereabouts of the puck. After the handshake line, Elias curiously hands his stick to someone in the crowd, but he doesn't appear to toss the puck. So, where it is, Patrik? In theory, he could have handed it to someone in the handshake line. If he did, it's a marvelously kept secret. Elias wouldn't be so petty as to keep the puck, would he?"

STEP aside, Higgs boson. A US panel has concluded the best way for the nation to contribute to particle physics is to create a world-leading neutrino programme.
Neutrinos are elusive particles that rarely interact with other matter. They come in three flavours, each thought to have a different mass, but our ability to study those masses with current detectors is limited. Precision measurements could help answer big mysteries about the universe, such as why there is more matter than antimatter.
Last week, the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel issued a report mapping the next 10 to 20 years of US particle physics research. It recommends pursuing greater international collaboration to build a neutrino experiment of exceptional physical length, centred at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.
The report also recommends boosting the energy of Fermilab's existing neutrino beams.

NHL announces cancellation of games through November 1
The NHL lockout has led to the cancellation of regular season games through November 1.
The league made the announcement Friday, meaning a total of 135 games have been lost in the labor dispute.
The Phoenix Coyotes, who had already seen four games canceled, saw another four bite the dust with Friday's announcement.
They include:
10/25 vs. Nashville
10/27 @ Los Angeles
10/30 @ Chicago
11/1 @ Buffalo
That brings the total to eight, with an even split of four home games and four away games.
According to the league, the cancellation of games was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL.

50th Anniversary of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures

It was a real thrill to be around the folks who put the "wow" and the "pow" in the productions as they gathered to celebrate their exciting history. The Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures had a 50th anniversary gala and it was a great place to be to truly appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into their profession. The organization's Conrad Palmisano deserves kudos for putting the evening together. Event chair was Jonathan Arthur, who showed a clip reel of stunts dating from the silent film era to the present. "It's a proud time for all of us. We get to do some pretty amazing things," said SAMP president Mark Donaldson.
C. Thomas Howell was the emcee for the event. The son of stuntman Chris Howell, Thomas talked about getting started in the industry as a kid doing stunts for Steven Spielberg in ET.
SAMP handed out some honors at the celebration. Harrison Ford was on hand to get the first Richard Farnsworth Award, named for the stuntman who became an Oscar-nominated actor. Ford was in good humor and expressed his respect for all the stunt professionals. After watching a clip reel of his action scenes in various movies, Ford said, "That was about 90 per cent of other people pretending to be me."
Donaldson paid tribute to stuntman-pilot extraordinaire Thomas H. Friedkin, who was honored with the President's Award. Friedkin was unable to attend but sent a heartfelt message of gratitude.
The event was a benefit for the SAG Foundation which helps performers in need. Pamela Reed, first v.p. of the SAG Foundation, promised the foundation would "spend the funds wisely."
It was a great group of people to be around, fun-loving folks who love the thrills in life. Howell put it best when he expressed his respect for the stuntmen and women saying, "You look death in the eye and kick its ass on a daily basis."
