Liz and Joe had their engagement shoot on one of the coldest day of the winter; strangely, their wedding fell on one of the coldest days of the spring. No matter. These two are so warm, personable, and fun (not to mention in love!) that you (almost) forgot. It also didn't hurt that they chose beautiful venues: getting ready at the Royal York downtown, with their candlelight wedding ceremony held at the Arta Gallery in the Distillery District. Amazing sense of style these two!
Seriously, how beautiful is this dress?!?! Warning, we're going to overboard here.
And, tell us, how cute is it when you compare the two dresses???
And, of course, what would a bride's dress showcase be without the rings to follow it up . .
One of the things that we love about shooting together is that we have the opportunity to split up and be at two places at once. Naomi spent some time with Liz while she was getting her hair and make up done:
Meanwhile, Mark headed to Liz and Joe's suite to shoot some candids of the guys getting ready, throwing in a few portraits as well:
Once Liz headed back to the suite where she was getting ready, we both took some shots of Liz putting on the finishing touches and of Liz's sister and maid of honour, Ashley, helping Liz put on her (stunning!) dress:
Liz and Joe's wedding ceremony was very personal and unique as they did their vows in sign language:
Liz and Joe are so expressive and really wear their hearts on their sleeves for all the world to see. It was so much fun to photograph their reactions during the speeches:
Once the ceremony and speeches were done, Liz and Joe had their first dance and then the party really got started:
This is what love looks like . . .
And this is what fun looks like . .
One more iconic kiss before the end of the night:
Congratulations, Liz and Joe!!

As of late Tuesday, 2,103 seventh-grade Metro students still lack their required immunization shots, with many of them subject to be sent home from school, according to Metro Nashville Public Schools officials.
In all, Metro has more than 5,000 seventh-grade students. Under new state law, they're required to have second tetanus immunization boosters and second varicella (chicken pox) boosters. Forty percent haven't done so.
According to Metro schools spokeswoman Meredith Libbey, figures provided late Tuesday are the latest available.
Under the district's policy, students have five days to receive the shots after being notified. Otherwise, they are to not return to school. That means many updated vaccination records were due Monday, Aug. 22.
The Metro Nashville Health Department has announced the Lentz Public Health Center's fast lane immunization clinic –– which had been open to accommodate the vaccination demand –– closed Wednesday afternoon.
According to a press release, the health department will resume providing immunizations Thursday and Friday inside the Lentz Public Health Center.
Between Monday and Wednesday, more than 500 children received shots in the fast lane.

Nigeria's former Super Eagles players – Peter Rufai and Victor Ikepba – on Thursday, joined others in a novelty match between ex–internationals and All-Stars in honour of late legendary footbaler and coach, Stephen Keshi. According to reports gathered online, the match which was organized by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the Edo State Football Association and the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria, also featured ex-Super Eagles players, including Mutiu Adepoju, Austin Eguavoen and Uche Okechukwu.
The former Nigerian internationals, Rufai, Adepoju, Eguavoen, Ikepba, Okechukwu and Keshi were part of the Nigerian squad that lifted the African Nations Cup trophy in 1994. The match ended 1-1 at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, where Keshi played many matches for the New Nigeria Bank FC.
Meanwhile, the late former Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, was finally laid to eternal rest after the novelty tribute match and a Church Service. May his soul Rest in Peace…Amen!

Jobless Claims in U.S. Fall to Lowest Level in Five Years
Applications for unemployment insurance payments declined by 19,000 to 326,000 in the week ended July 27, the fewest since January 2008, from a revised 345,000 the prior week, the Labor Department reported today in Washington. The median forecast of 50 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for 345,000. A government analyst said no states were estimated, and the data were still being influenced by the auto plant shutdowns that play havoc with the figures at this time of year.
The less-volatile four-week moving average declined to 341,250 last week, a two-month low, from 345,750.
Tepid Growth Restrains Fed The U.S. economy is faring a little better than previously thought, but the overall picture is still one of lackluster growth.
The Commerce Department reported Wednesday that the economy grew at a 1.7% annual rate in the second quarter, enough to ease fears of a full-on summertime economic stall but still a sluggish pace by historic standards. (…)
Still, the April-June performance was only a small acceleration after the first quarter's revised paltry 1.1% growth rate and represents little comeback from the end of last year, when the economy barely grew.
More than 24% of the quarter's growth came from an increase in inventories—a buildup that is unlikely to be repeated and could even be erased in subsequent data revisions.
Consumer spending, which has been the backbone of the recovery recently, grew at a slower pace in the second quarter, with Americans cutting spending on hotels and restaurants—a possible indication families are pulling back on discretionary items.
The Commerce Department also significantly reduced its estimates for the prior four quarters and said the annual pace of growth since the recovery began in mid-2009 was only 2.2%, well below the nation's long-term trend of over 3%. (…)
Against that backdrop, the Fed on Wednesday said it would continue an $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program meant to boost growth and hiring and offered no substantive changes in its stance on how long the purchases would continue.
Fed officials nodded in their statement to a few economic developments of late that could cause them concern if they persist. They described the pace of growth in the first half as "modest" and noted risks to the economy if inflation runs "persistently below" their 2% objective, as it has been. The Commerce Department report showed inflation running near a 1% annual rate in the last three months, well below the Fed's goal.
Draghi Signals Worst Over as ECB Reiterates Low Rate Guidance
"Confidence indicators have shown some further improvement from low levels and tentatively confirm the expectation of a stabilization in economic activity," Draghi said at a press conference in Frankfurt today after the ECB kept its benchmark rate at 0.5 percent. Policy makers expect to keep borrowing costs "at the present or lower level for an extended period of time," he said, repeating a formula first deployed last month.
How confident should we all be on "confidence indicators"? More on that? CONSUMER SENTIMENT SURVEYS. DON'T BE TOO SENTIMENTAL!
I prefer economic facts such as
- German retail sales declined 2.8% YoY in June following a 0.4% advance in May.
- Spain's workday-adjusted real retail sales decreased 5.0% in June after a 4.5% decline in May.
And this from Bloomberbriefs.com:
The data on lending also continues to show signs of weakness. Loans to
nonfinancial corporations, adjusted for sales and securitization, fell 2.3 percent year over year in June versus minus 2.1 percent in May. The equivalent figure for households stood at 0.3 percent year over
year, unchanged from the previous month.
The ECB's quarterly bank lending survey provided little reason for optimism. It indicated: "looking forward to the third quarter of 2013, banks expect the net decline in demand for loans across all loan
categories to continue."
Japanese PMI signals near-stalling of manufacturing sector
PMI survey data hinted at a waning impact of Japan's economic stimulus plan, dubbed 'Abenomics', at the start of the third quarter. After strong survey readings pointed to a further strengthening of GDP growth in the second quarter, the third quarter may bring disappointment to policymakers.
The manufacturing PMI signalled a near-stalling of growth in the sector in July. Alongside an easing in growth of manufacturing output, new orders and exports, the survey found price pressures to have eased again, and that employment started to fall again as companies cut capacity in line with weak demand.
Having risen to its highest for over two years in June, rounding off the best quarter of growth for the manufacturing sector for three years, the Markit/JMMA PMI fell in July. Dropping from 52.3 in June to a four month low of 50.7, the PMI signalled a marked easing in the rate of growth of the goods-producing sector at the start of the third quarter.
Output grew at the slowest rate since February, registering only a modest increase after the strong gains seen throughout the second quarter. New order growth also slowed, registering the weakest increase since March.
July's PMI survey showed that, although new export orders rose for the fifth straight month, the latest increase was only modest and the smallest seen over this period. Any increase in competitiveness resulting from the weaker yen is being in part countered by weak economic growth in key export markets, notably China. (…)
Najib Plans Budget Measures After Fitch Cuts Malaysia's Outlook
Fitch cut its outlook to negative from stable this week, citing the Southeast Asian nation's rising debt levels and lack of budgetary reform. The credit rating company's concerns are shared by the government, Najib told reporters at an Islamic finance event in Kuala Lumpur today, without giving details of fiscal measures planned for his October 25 budget address.
"We are just looking at various policy options but we do understand that there's a need for us to strengthen the fiscal and macro position of the government," he said. "The actual details will be unveiled shortly, particularly in the forthcoming budget."
Najib, who is also finance minister, led his Barisan Nasional coalition to victory in Malaysia's general election in May following a spending spree which saw him raise civil servants' salaries and give cash handouts to the poor. He also froze planned cuts in state subsidies on essential items and stalled on introducing a goods and services tax. (…)
Indonesia Inflation Rate at 4-Year High as Economy Set to Slow
Consumer prices rose 8.61 percent in July from a year earlier, after a 5.9 percent gain in June, the Statistics Bureau said in Jakarta today. That exceeded all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of 23 economists. Gross domestic product probably grew 5.9 percent last quarter from a year earlier, the first drop below 6 percent since March 2010, a separate survey showed before a report due tomorrow.
Higher costs may hurt domestic consumption that has been the driver of growth in Indonesia, at a time of falling demand for the country's commodity exports. Bank Indonesia has already raised its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points in the past two meetings to fight inflation.
some prominent fund managers/commentators are now advocating investing in European stocks, moving some money out of "highly valued" U.S. equities into "better valued" European equities.
ISI tries to support this notion with this chart on Price/Sales.
My own observations:
- U.S equities P/S is above the historical mean but so is France and Germany.
- The Stox600 P/S ratio is somewhat below its mean but within a very narrow range.
- P/S ratios are near useless without profit margins trends. Margins in the U.S. are much, much higher that in Europe, suggesting much better comps on P/Es.
- The real bargains on a P/S basis are obviously in Spain and Italy. These countries may be where the U.S. was in early 2009 but their economic, financial, fiscal and political complexion is far different and much less comfortable than that of the U.S. I see no reason for Spanish or Italian companies selling at P/S ranges so much above German companies. Why should Spain P/S be similar to the U.S.?
- Why would anybody want to invest in France?
- The U.K. market does look appealing, however.

"Heroes" star Hayden Panettiere has spoken for the first time about her split from boyfriend Stephen Colletti, revealing she just wanted some time alone.
The 18-year-old beauty ended her one-year relationship with the "Laguna Beach" star last September, insisting the pair had parted on amicable terms.
Panettiere, who is now dating her "Heroes" co-star Milo Ventimiglia, admits she desperately needed her own space.
She tells Seventeen magazine, "I just knew I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be single at the time. It just hit me like a ton of bricks — this is the time I need to be with myself."
She also admits she's not an easy girlfriend: "It takes such a secure person to be with someone like me; it takes so much confidence, it takes so much trust."

Maximize storage with racking and mezzanines
When a facility's footprint is maxed out, warehouse managers often look up—not for divine inspiration, but for increased storage capacity in the form of rack and mezzanine storage systems. Here, four companies share their successes in using vertical space to achieve their goals of better customer service, organization, logistical control and picking efficiency.

Puerto Rico's largest food and beverage distributor, V. Suarez, had outgrown its patchwork of distribution facilities across the island. To enhance customer service, logistical control and efficiency when delivering 500 brands to 6,000 customers, the company consolidated distribution at a single facility.
"Consolidating warehouse operations under one roof allows us to pursue growth," says Wallace Santos Guzman, vice president of operations at V. Suarez.
Concerned about fork truck impacts, the company specified that the durability of the pallet rack be an important consideration. Working with a consultant at St. Onge, management chose selective rack, push back rack, drive-in rack, decked rack and carton flow rack (Steel King).

Seattle (PRWEB) June 10, 2014
Array Health, a leading provider of private health insurance exchange technology, today released a report which reveals consumer-focused shopping and enrollment is the most valuable capability for a successful private exchange, according to opinions of healthcare industry professionals. The results, collected May 2014, indicate continued growth for the private exchange market, as more than 75 percent of respondents believe most insurers will offer proprietary exchanges by the end of 2016. Consumers are realizing the benefits of a whole new way to shop for health insurance – and insurers are expected to respond to this need.
Array Health's report, "Health Check: A Survey on Private Health Insurance Exchanges," includes survey results of more than 80 healthcare leaders across the industry. The survey gathered responses from attendees at the 2014 Blue National Summit in Orlando, Fla., and subscribers of Atlantic Information Services (AIS) health insurance publications.
The results, which are depicted in an infographic, indicate further expansion of products offered via private exchanges is expected. Eighty percent of health insurer respondents believe most private exchanges will include core medical, dental and vision as well as ancillary products by January 2015. Other key findings from the report include:
- Health insurers are opting for single-insurer exchanges over multi-insurer private exchanges. More than half of insurer respondents said they will use a private single-insurer exchange as a sales channel for their products by the end of 2014.
- Employers are expected to move their sponsored health benefits onto private exchanges by 2016. Fifty-seven percent of all survey respondents think the majority of employers will offer their benefits through an exchange by the end of 2015. Health insurers were more optimistic with 63 percent predicting the majority of employers will move onto private exchanges by the end of 2015.
- Respondents expect insurers will sell to all market segments via private single-insurer exchanges. Most interest focused on large groups, small groups and individuals.
- Respondents are very positive about the adoption of single-insurer exchanges. Seventy-five percent of respondents predict the majority of health insurers will offer a private single-insurer exchange by the end of 2016 and 93 percent believe most health insurers will have their own single-insurer exchange by 2018.
- There is greater optimism about employers' near-term adoption of defined contribution strategies than there was one year ago. Compared to the 2013 survey results, respondents to the 2014 survey are more optimistic about the adoption of defined contribution within the next three years.
"We are very encouraged by this year's survey results, which indicate continued momentum toward the broad-scale adoption of private exchanges," said Jonathan Rickert, CEO of Array Health. "While the survey is only a snap shot, the responses are in line with analysts' predictions and support projections that explosive growth in private exchanges will likely occur in the next two to three years.

By Marium I am a 20 years old girl. I never had a craze for hijab. I never liked covering my head while going outside. When I was 16 years old, I fell so ill that I had to get admitted in some hospital. During that period I got raped by the doctor's assistant. I was so much depressed after that. …Read More »

A fire early Monday morning destroyed a mobile home near Reese Technology Center.
Nobody was home when the trailer in the Elm Grove Mobile Home Village, 2201 Research Blvd., burned.
Robert Loveless, fire marshal with the Lubbock Fire Department, said the fire was reported at about 1:15 a.m.
"The fire started in the kitchen area," Loveless said. "We believe it was an appliance, but we will leave it as undetermined."
He added investigators found no evidence of criminal activity.
Loveless said three dogs in the mobile home died in the blaze.
The fire was out by 2 a.m., and some Lubbock Fire Department crews were sent back to their stations by 2:30 a.m.
The last fire truck left the scene shortly before 5 a.m.

Nico Rosberg says he lost F1 drivers' title trophy
Formula 1 world champion Nico Rosberg says he lost the drivers' championship trophy before his recent visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Rosberg, who clinched the 2016 drivers' title before announcing his retirement from F1, attended the Festival of Speed with Mercedes earlier this month to demonstrate one of the team's cars and also sent the trophy to the event.
Rosberg said the trophy went missing for five days during its delivery, before it was safely returned to his possession.
Mercedes' Formula One driver Nico Rosberg of Germany celebrates after he secures his Formula One 2016Reuters
"I've had a massive scare because we sent it [the drivers' trophy] off to Goodwood recently - with super-high security - and it got lost," he said.
"It was gone for five days. It was lost in the post!
"I had some restless days, but now it's back."

Thread: Stem cell orthopedics
11/28/2010 11:15am, #1
Stem cell orthopedics
So i met one of the surgeons from the Steelers Sports Medicine team last month.
He had lived with knee pain for years, a result of old skiing and running injuries.
Well overdue for a replacement, he opted for stem-cell injections from the Centeno-Schultz Clinic.
Now closing on 70 years old, he has been pain free for four years.
He also completed the Kona Ironman last month, in the top ten in his age group.
The CliffsNotes version is this: Centeno uses a needle to withdraw a small amount of marrow from a bone near your hip. He gives the red, fatty fluid to a technician who mixes it with a lab-prepared blend of factors that makes the stem cells contained in the fluid grow rapidly. Later that day, the fluid is injected into the area of injury. Almost immediately, the stem cells drawn from your bone marrow look around for something useful to do. Depending on the local chemical environment and the type of cells they attach to, they'll end up becoming new cartilage or muscle tissue, replenishing and rebuilding what's already there.
As a therapist who works with broken athletes all the time, i find this a huge leap.
Knee replacements are incredibly invasive, that they can sometimes be avoided with an injection just blows me away.
So since i know there are lots of injured folks out there in BS world, i was wondering if anyone has had a knee or hip replaced, invasive joint surgery etc.
How satisfied are you with the results and would you consider stem-cell therapy in the future?
Personally, i think this stuff is amazing...

Sweet. Maybe I can get the VA to fill my knees full of dead baby when I make the drive to Danville to get reassessed...
Honestly, though, I'd be about it. Be nice if my knees didn't hurt for even a few months.

I've got extensive knee damage but have not had surgery. I would however definitely like to give this method a try. The whole needle in the hip thing doesn't sound like much fun but the proceedure sounds a hell of a lot better than the surgical option I was given. Do you know how many times this proceedure needs to be done for results and how long it takes?
11/28/2010 11:34am, #5
You are encouraged to walk the same day.
Sometimes multiple injections are required, but often not.
IIRC, even in those cases of multiple injections, they only harvest once and just keep growing the cells.
Down time is minimal to nonexistent. Fucking amazing.

Anyhow, after reading more about it, I want some. 2-3 weeks off the knee? Fine, I can do that. Anyone see anything about how much it costs? All I've seen so far is that insurance won't cover it and there's $450+ up front before the procedure starts.
11/28/2010 11:39am, #7
I know it's kind of an Appeal to Authority (not all fallacies by form are indeed invalid), but as a surgeon for the Steelers, you'd think he'd know all of the best knee guys in the country.
I found it interesting he chose this route.
He's an old guy and he's been pain free for years.
That was what piqued my curiosity.
I have old shoulder and knee injuries i might get looked at.

I think I'll drop them a line and see if they do anything with the VA. If there's enough information on it, I'm sure the VA will be more likely to do something like this than buying me a new set of knees down the road to be installed via surgery.
11/28/2010 11:59am, #9
Dunno about the VA etc.
It is cutting edge stuff and i imagine most of it would come out of pocket.
That said, downtime for a replacement vs $$$ is a personal call.
There are resources to send in your images for a consultation, which may be covered according to the FAQs.

Be aware that though this procedure is probably safe there no good evidence (i.e. randomised controlled trials) for its efficacy and this company is currently doing a complex dance to avoid FDA regulation.

Innovapptive One of Top Three Finalists In SAP 2013 Transportation and Logistics Mobile App Challenge
Innovapptive was chosen as one of the top three finalists in the SAP 2013 Transportation and Logistics Mobile App Challenge for development of its mAssetTag – Mobile Asset Tagging and Geocoding mobile app. The winner will be selected during a live customer voting session at TechEd in Las Vegas on October 23rd, 2013 between 7 PM and 10 PM PST.
The mAssetTag – Mobile Asset Tagging and Geocoding app provides a simple and cost-effective solution to keep track of their huge inventory of assets that frequently moved between several field personnel and customer locations. Innovapptive's mAssetTag solution not only tracks inventory for based on barcode scanning, but also provides a real-time listing of the exact location of assets, which simplifies the logistics involved in moving the assets to multiple locations.
The app has a strong value proposition for the transportation and logistics industry to overcome the paper-based processing hurdles in a low-margin industry and proactively push information to employees for better decision making. With the mAssetTag solution enterprises can manage shipments remotely by alerting the carrier when the status of a shipment changes based on carrier events. Shipments can be tracked while they are in the carrier's responsibility, including Geo positioning and visualizing on a map.
After all of the apps were submitted for the Transportation and Logistics challenge, a jury consisting of SAP experts on enterprise mobility as well as industry analysts and influencers then reviewed and scored the apps based on user experience, functionality and innovation, customer appeal and business value. Now it's up to the audience at SAP TechEd to decide which app will be the winner of SAP 2013 Transportation and Logistics Mobile App Challenge. The voting will take place at the Mobile Platform Launch Party & Mobile Madness event at SAP TechEd on Wednesday, October 23rd.
For a 30 day free trial to test drive the app, please contact an Innovapptive Sales rep at firstname.lastname@example.com

Guardian: Force-feeding prisoners in California and Guantánamo solves nothing
The California Prison hunger strike that began on 8 July reached a critical stage this week when authorities were given the go ahead to force-feed inmates as they near death. At the time the order was issued, approximately 129 men were still participating in the strike and 69 of those had been starving themselves since the beginning meaning that organ failure may be imminent. While no one wants to see the prisoners die, the decision to allow force-feeding has angered lawyers and advocacy groups who say state officials have chosen to dig in their heels at this crucial juncture rather than make a good faith effort to negotiate an end to what they call the hunger strike "disturbance".
The force-feeding ruling is particularly controversial as it allows prison officials to override do-not-resuscitate (DNR) directives previously signed by many of the hunger strikers. Lawyers for the state argued that some inmates may have been coerced into signing these directives, but prisoner advocates claim there is little evidence that this is the case.
As Carol Strickman, a staff attorney for Legal Services for Prisoners with Children, who has acted as mediator on behalf of the hunger strikers, says: "At the very least, the men who voluntarily signed the directives should have been represented in court." Jules Lobel, the president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, who represents some of the hunger strikers in a lawsuit over prison conditions, also expressed regret about the ruling:
Force-feeding should only ever be used as a last resort, after all other alternatives have been exhausted.

I am trying to set up Organic Groups with unique content type permissions using Drupal 7.23 and OG 7.2.
My previous OG experience has been with Drupal 5 and OG 5.4.
While previous OG versions relied on additional modules to provide detailed group and global permissions, OG 7.2 appears to have this built in, but I am finding the official Drupal.org site OG 7.2 documentation rather sparse and not very helpful. I have searched the Internet and all I can find are instructions or videos on how to set up various previous versions.
Is there anyone who has successfully set up OG 7.2 to provide unique content type permissions per group who could either refer me to some documentation etc. on how to do this, or who would be willing to answer a few questions about the process?
I am mainly puzzled regarding two aspects:
How to set up group content types with permissions such that members can only create, edit and delete using those content types within the groups they are members of
How to set up the group 'home' pages where members can see who else is in the group, and see a listing of group created content with edit links. OG 7.2 comes with a sub-module of examples, but it is not clear how to utilize them.

I think the answer to your
I think the answer to your first question lies in Where? and How? can one set Group roles and permissions for a particular group. The answer is not obvious indeed.
- go to admin/config/group/fields
- in Bundles, select 'Node/[the name of your group content type]' ** WARNING, it is easy to miss this setting
- in Fields, select 'Group roles and permissions'
- click 'Add field'
- now go to the edit form of your group content type and set the 'Group roles and permissions' field to 'Override default roles and permissions'.
When this is done, the "(read-only)" that appeared next to a group's Permissions and Roles links will have disappeared and you'll be able to configure the group's behavior as you wish.
One possible answer to you second question is, you can do this with Page Manager. The following screencast clearly shows you how: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqMEY6WMmtE&feature=youtu.be.
Hope this helps.

The Holy Mackerel "The Holy Mackerel"
Paul Williams first pop group was the LA based Holy Mackerel. While he would go on to greater success writing classic pop hits for Three Dog Night and the Carpenters, the music he recorded with the Holy Mackerel is more adventurous and psychedelic. The group's only album was released by Warner Brothers in 1968. While it wasn't a commercial success, the LP features some great material.
The best tunes on The Holy Mackerel are on par with great Millennium and Sagittarus tracks. Sure, there's two or three weak tracks throughout the album but much of The Holy Mackerel is given over to quality stuff. "Scorpio Red", "Wildflowers", "The Secret of Pleasure", "10,000 Men" and "1984" are excellent dreamy soft psych tracks. "1984" is probably the album's magical highlight although "Wildflowers" features interesting distorted vocals and plenty of swirling sitar. Many of the songs on the LP are psychedelic folk-rock but there's a few country-rockers ("Somewhere in Arizona" and "The Golden Ghost of Love"), pure folk ("The Lady is Waiting"), and bouncy Nilsson-like pop ("Bitter Honey") dispersed throughout ; these cuts are vintage late 60s LA pop. There's a lot of ideas at work here but the group manages to pull it off, making The Holy Mackerel an artistic success. Highly recommended to those who appreciate intelligent sunshine pop/soft psych sounds.
Now Sounds reissued The Holy Mackerel in 2010 with plenty of extras. Also worth checking out is Paul Williams 1970 collaboration with Roger Nichols titled We've Only Just Begun.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne, the team's first-round draft pick, did not wow himself with Saturday's performance in his first NFL pre-season game against the San Diego Chargers. The stats show two tackles, both after short completions, in two quarters of action.
He made no big plays. But no one torched him for a big play, either.
"Was I great? No. But I feel like I played a good half in my first NFL game," said Claiborne, who reported no physical issues involved with his surgically-repaired wrist or his knee, which he sprained in training camp. "I know there's going to be more to come. I've just got to keep working and get better."
The part that satisfied Claiborne was how he handled his mental responsibilities in his first game in a Dallas uniform.
"I think I did good. I didn't blow any assignments," Claiborne said. "So I think the mental part was pretty good."
Teammates thought the rookie, who was taken with the sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft, more than acquitted himself in his Cowboys' debut.
Asked what he thought of Claiborne's play, linebacker Victor Butler said: "That we probably should have picked him up No. 4 overall, He's a tremendous asset to the defense. This was his first game and he's only getting his feet wet. He hasn't fully dived into the pool yet. I'm truly excited to see what he has to offer."
Butler said he is excited about the prospect of having Claiborne and free-agent signee Brandon Carr, who had two interceptions against the Chargers, locking down the Cowboys' corners in 2012.
"With him and Brandon Carr back there, we should be getting coverage sacks out the wazoo this year," Butler said.
Carr said Claiborne handled the moment, in his estimation.
"The lights weren't bright for him. It wasn't a big moment for him," Carr said. "He kept his poise very well. He went out there and battled. He made some tackles. He finally got his first taste of NFL receivers and I can't wait to get back home and see what he does in Cowboys Stadium."
The Cowboys play their first pre-season game at home Aug. 25 against the St. Louis Rams.

So when her family picture got photobombed by who she thought was a stranger in an 'ARMY' t-shirt, she couldn't contain her excitement!
As you can see in this heartwarming reunion video, the family is lined up on the bridge taking a family photo, when the photographer says "Wait…I think we're missing someone."
As the mother looks around at her family members, Jared sneaks up behind the group and squeezes into the family photo!

- Arnold Bercov (President, Pulp, and Woodworkers of Canada – Local 8
- TJ Watt (Campaigner and Photographer, Ancient Forest Alliance)
- Ken Wu (Executive Director, Ancient Forest Alliance)
Background info:
Ancient forests are vital to sustain endangered species, tourism, the climate, clean water, wild salmon, and many First Nations cultures. See VIDEOS at: http://www.ancientforestalliance.org/videos.php and PHOTOS at: http://www.ancientforestalliance.org/galleries.php
A century of unsustainable logging has eliminated the vast majority of the biggest, best old-growth trees in the valley bottoms and lower elevations that historically built BC's forest industry. This has resulted in diminishing returns as the trees get smaller, more expensive to reach higher up, and lower in value.
As second-growth forests mature and now dominate the forested land base, the BC government has done little to stimulate investment in second-growth sawmills and value-added facilities to process the logs. Instead, they've allowed vast quantities to be exported raw to foreign mills in China, the US, and elsewhere.
Much of BC's remaining old-growth forests now consist of marginal or "low-productivity" trees growing on poor sites at high elevations, on steep, rocky mountainsides, and in bogs. The BC government's statistics deliberately overinflate the amount of remaining old-growth forests by including these stunted "bonsai" forests – mainly uneconomic to log – in their public relations figures, as well as failing to provide context on how much old-growth forests once stood.
Our remaining "productive" old-growth forests where the large trees grow, or "ancient forests", today consist of only a small fraction of their original extent. This is particularly true on Vancouver Island, the southern mainland coast, and in the BC interior.
On Vancouver Island, 75% of the original, productive old-growth forests have been logged, including over 90% of the valley bottoms where the largest trees grow.
The history of unsustainable resource extraction around the world is replete with examples where the biggest and best stocks have been depleted one after another, resulting in the loss of resource industry jobs
along the way.
BC's politicians must not allow this familiar pattern of high-grade resource depletion, ecosystem collapse, and the impoverishment of rural communities to continue in BC's forests under their watch – or through
their active support. A major change in the status quo of unsustainable forestry in the province is vital. Politicians who fail to understand this fundamental concept must not have power.

One of my family members was officer in large police department
- Published in Letters
To The Daily Sun,
This reply is to address Dave Schwotzer's query as to whether I know the difference between a Prison and a County Jail:
I will share with you a bit of information of my in-depth knowledge of the difference between a prison and a county jail. Although you do not need to know about my life history or background, as I wish to keep it out of public arena, I am willing to share this much with you and the readers of this newspaper. One of my family members wore two separate uniforms for many, many years. One uniform was worn during service in the U.S. Military, the other was worn as a law enforcement officer for a large police department. Enough said.

An image from Jack Chambers's 1970 masterpiece The Hart of London courtesy of the Cinematheque Ontario book The Films of Jack Chambers
JBNBlog is not sure which of these likely lads is John and which is Diego . . . but what an image. Toward the end of their father's The Hart of London, the two are close to various deer in a film thick with images of deer being hunted, slaughtered etc. V. disturbing for all its pastoral qualities. Wow.
In real life, J&D were pretty rugged little guys . . . back in the day c. 1968 they went out with their mom Olga & my mom to visit my grandfather (dad's dad, James N. Reaney) at Westminster hospital. Some stones or pebbles were tossed. A low-lying window or two might have needed repair after their efforts. Grampa must have been inspired by such life force. I know how much my mom adored them . . . for reasons just now becoming clear to me.
The young boys also appear in some of their father's most famous paintings. Diego & John, this fellow 1960s kid on the London arts scene salutes you. Brothers, hope all is well.
Jack Chambers married Olga Sanchez Bustos in 1963. Both were great Londoners & have trees planted in their memory in Gibbons Park if memory serves. I should pay homage this fall.

Is Earth a "lucky" planet, dwelling in a rare gem of a solar system that somehow escaped the gravitational wrecking balls that have knocked other planetary systems cockeyed? Or is the sun's realm fairly typical in its symmetry and orderliness?
Such questions arise from the extraordinary burst of discovery that began in 1995, in which astronomers say they have found a total of 17 worlds orbiting sun-like stars outside the solar system -- and counting.
The tally is getting high enough to show statistical patterns that, scientists say, may be telling them something new about how nature forms and destroys planets, and just how fragile the prospects for life-harboring worlds like Earth may be. The growing population of known extrasolar planets so far offers shocking contrasts with our own home solar system, defying theories based on that familiar model and challenging scientists to cobble together new ones.
All 17 extrasolar bodies appear to be roughly as massive as the largest planet in our solar system -- the giant gas ball Jupiter. It is not surprising that the hunters would find the largest, most obvious planets first. But eight of them are bound in tight, circular orbits that skim astoundingly close to their stars. The closest of these "hot Jupiters" whips around its star at such scorching proximity that its "year" -- one complete circuit -- lasts just 3.3 days.
Physical laws seem to dictate that they could not have formed that close and so must have migrated inward early in the system's history (wreaking havoc on any other fledgling worlds in their path). And yet something has halted their gravitational death spiral before it carried them "down the drain" to destruction.
All of the remaining nine extrasolar planets -- those maintaining average distances of at least 19 million miles from their stars (about one-fifth Earth's distance from the sun) -- follow "eccentric" (egg-shaped) orbits -- killer orbits.
"A trend is now being stamped on these discoveries that we thought, frankly, would go away," said Geoffrey Marcy of San Francisco State University at a recent meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Austin. "We are realizing that most of the Jupiter-like planets . . . tool around in elliptical orbits, not circular orbits, which are the rule in our solar system."
This seemingly minor distinction could spell the difference between life and its absence. Jupiter-size bodies lunging close and then veering far away from their stars are likely to sweep away smaller worlds. "None of us would be here if we had such a solar system," he said. "These Jupiters constitute a death knell for any possible habitable planet as we know it."
That's "bad news" for those in search of extraterrestrial intelligence, said Marcy, whose team leads the world in planet detection. But he noted that, of hundreds of stars surveyed so far, only about 5 percent appear to have world-wrecking planets. "The good news is that 95 percent of the sun-like stars don't have these nemeses."
Like the first photographs of Earth taken from the moon, the revelations of the extrasolar worlds may inspire a new appreciation for the fragility of human existence. Pointing to the bull's-eye symmetry of the inner solar system, Marcy said, "Look at how perfect this thing is. It's like a jewel. You've got circular orbits. They're all in the same plane. They're all going around in the same direction. . . . It's perfect, you know. It's gorgeous. It's almost uncanny."
Passing "Jupiters" flung out of other systems, black holes and neutron stars that are known to wander the galaxy are among the marauders that might have come barreling through in the 4.6-billion-year history of the solar system, he said. "Obviously our solar system represents kind of a dartboard. And no darts have hit it."
While most astronomers have been convinced that the extrasolar objects are indeed planets, broadly defined, a few skeptics have pointed to the non-circular orbits as evidence to the contrary. "It was the black-sheep property of what we've been discovering. It didn't smell like the planets in our solar system," Marcy said. But the claim that all planetary orbits must be like ours, he quipped, "may well be a circular argument."
The discoveries have pushed the very definition of the term "planet" into a state of chaos that dwarfs the periodic flaps over Pluto. The conventional definition, reflecting our own solar system, holds that planets form from a flat disk of dust and gas rotating around a newly forming star. Within this framework, planets might vary enormously, from small and rocky (like Earth and its near neighbors) to unsurfaced gas giants -- and tiny, icy eccentrics such as Pluto.
Theorists have found ways to explain some, but not all, of the properties of the newfound planets, said astronomer William Cochran of the University of Texas. In any case, even if the objects don't quite fit the mold, he added, "right now, we are still going to call them 'planets.' "
Theorists have calculated how planets born in the expected circular orbits might get kicked onto different paths in gravitational encounters with other objects (rival planets, passing stars, etc.). For example, the nine extrasolar eccentrics "may be in systems that started more or less like our own, with one Jupiter," Marcy said, "but maybe the Saturn grew too big or too close. And those two gravitationally slingshot off of each other," one being catapulted into interstellar space, the other spiraling in toward its star.
To discover how rare the solar system really is will require more time and data. No technology has yet proven capable of detecting Earth-size planets, and even the big ones are hidden from view in the overpowering glare of starlight. The leading detection technique is a complicated, indirect one that measures the very slight wobble induced in a star by the gravity of its unseen planet.
This and other techniques should gradually reveal lower-mass planets and planets of all sizes orbiting at greater distances from their stars. So far, no more than one planet has been confirmed around any sun-like star, but some of the data hint at what could be multi-planet families.
"We'll probably find many more surprises, strange systems that will make us rethink what we're doing. But we should also find lots of systems that look something like our solar system," said theorist Alan P. Boss of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
Dozens of teams are working on improved methods and tools. Studies of dust disks around nearby stars -- the potential breeding grounds of planets -- have begun to reveal details about the processes within. And two international groups have reported the first results from a technique called microlensing, which might be used to detect planets as small as Earth.
In little more than a decade, astronomers expect to complete the first census of planets orbiting nearby stars. And NASA plans to deploy a series of space-borne telescopes that could lead to a mighty Planet Finder capable of producing actual images of distant Earth-like planets. Assuming a killer Jupiter didn't find them first.
