AUSTIN – State and federal wildlife officials are investigating a series of active dove mortality events in and around the West Texas communities of Midland, Odessa and Big Spring. The cause has yet to be determined, but poisoning has not been ruled out. At this time, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department simply desires to provide hunters information on this localized event.
Dove samples have been submitted to the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center in Madison, WI, where initial necropsy findings revealed no conclusive cause of death, according to Dr. LeAnn White, a wildlife disease specialist. Additional disease screening and toxicology test results are pending.
Although there are no known human or animal risks associated with the mortality events at this time, Dr. White recommends precautions should be taken. One Midland resident reported his dog died shortly after consuming several dead doves, but no autopsy was performed and cause of death was not determined. Conversely, several residents have reported dogs and cats consuming dead doves with no ill effects.
Reports of dead doves and sparrows first surfaced in late July and have been sporadic but ongoing, although the total number of birds impacted so far is believed to be less than 250, mostly Eurasian collared dove and white-winged dove.
"Our biggest concern right now is the timing of these events heading into the opening day of dove hunting season this Saturday," said Clayton Wolf, TPWD Wildlife Division Director. "We want hunters to be aware of this, but until we know the cause of death, there's not much we can tell those hunters other than to use the standard common sense precautions that should be applied to the harvest of all game animals."
Hunters should avoid shooting at birds exhibiting odd behavior or picking up birds not shot by them or someone in their hunting group. Hunters should never consume any game that appears infected or diseased. All dove killed still count toward a hunter's bag limit. However, dove that appear infected or diseased are not required to be retained or kept in edible condition.
Birds exhibiting a healthy disposition prior to harvest should not pose a concern. As with all wild game, hunters should properly clean and prepare dove.
Officials anticipate additional test results in the next few days. Updates on the investigation, including lab test results, will be posted online at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/game_management/dove_summary/.

Police: Man throws rocks, shoots arrow into auto dealership lot
Thrown rock breaks windshield of 2013 Lincoln
MADISON, Wis. — Madison police said they are investigating reports of a man causing a series of problems at an auto dealership lot.
An employee at Kayser Ford, 2303 W. Beltline Highway, contacted the Madison police Monday morning to report problems.
The employee said a man was throwing rocks, from an adjoining property, towards the business Monday morning. No damage was reported; however, the employee said the rock thrower was also spotted this past Saturday afternoon. One tossed rock broke the rear windshield of a 2013 Lincoln, causing an estimated $4,000 damage, according to a Madison Police Department incident report.
Police said the employee believes the same man shot an arrow onto the Kayser lot last Wednesday morning. That incident was reported to police at the time.
No suspect has been identified and no motivation for the crimes is known, police said.

Local elementary-age children will be learning about the natural world in their own neighborhood this summer through a grant to the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program at Hope College from the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area.
Local elementary-age children will be learning about the natural world in their own neighborhood this summer through a grant to the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program at Hope College from the Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area.
And then they'll go into the new school year well-equipped thanks to further support from the Holland Junior Welfare League.
The Community Foundation of the Holland/Zeeland Area has awarded CASA $6,600 to help underwrite "CASA Goes Wild: Amazing Lessons in Nature," which will be featured throughout CASA's summer program, running Monday, June 18, through Thursday, July 26. The theme will provide the framework for a variety of activities for the approximately 110 second- through fifth-grade students the program anticipates hosting.
"We want to teach the children about the nature right around them - right in their back yards, in the school playground and when they walk down the street," said Fonda Green, the program's executive director. Green noted that this summer's theme has been inspired by Richard Louv's book "Last Child in the Woods," which recommends direct exposure to nature as essential for healthy childhood development and for physical and emotional health.
This summer's activities will involve a variety of organizations, and will include site visits to the Outdoor Discovery Center and Ottawa County parks, a nature project with the Holland Area Arts Council, birdhouse building with Evergreen Commons, and tours and a reading club with Herrick District Library. Highlights on campus will include presentations by Hope Summer Repertory Theatre's children's theatre, and activities coordinated through the college's science camp program.
The $857.50 award from the Holland Junior Welfare League will provide the students with materials in anticipation of the next school year. The grant is helping underwrite the purchase of backpacks and a variety of supplies, such as pencils, paper, markers and rulers, for the students to use when they go back to school in the fall.
CASA, a community organization housed at Hope, focuses on academic and cultural enrichment. The program, which runs year-round, is intended to improve the academic performance of at-risk students by providing the tools they need to succeed in school.
The students meet after school twice per week in one-on-one sessions with volunteer tutors throughout the school year, and in the mornings during the six-week summer session. The academic-year and summer programs serve Holland and West Ottawa students.
CASA's accomplishments include increased reading scores in 94 percent of students since enrollment, 93 percent daily average attendance rates and "good to excellent" daily participation scores of 98 percent. A total of 140 students participated in the 2006-07 school-year program.
Established in 1987 by Marge Rivera Bermann and Latin Americans United for Progress (LAUP), CASA was originally housed at First United Methodist Church. The program moved to Hope College in 1989. CASA will celebrate its 20th anniversary this fall.

Talk Around the Clock
Tonight at 6 p.m. the Guggenheim presents a marathon symposium titled "24-Hour Program on the Concept of Time." The museum's chief curator Nancy Spector organized the event in the mold of Hans Ulrich Obrist, who has presided over similar symposia in other cities, most recently a "mini-marathon" in Beijing on New Year's Eve that lasted a measly 12 hours. Like its predecessors, the 24-Hour Program is presented in an art-world context but brings together thinkers across many disciplines. Tonight's (and tomorrow's) lineup of speakers includes Ronald Mallett, a physicist who has devoted his life to building a time machine, and Joseph LeSauteur, an expert in the psychology of circadian rhythms. Also slated to participate are Philippe Parreno, Angela Bulloch, and Liam Gillick, artists featured in the exhibition upstairs whose run will end when the symposium does. "theanyspacewhatever" is about ten artists who emerged in the 1990s, but it doesn't show any 1990s art. Instead, it comprises new installations conceived specifically for the Guggenheim's rotunda. That should give a clue about these artists' attitude toward temporality. Over their careers they have avoided producing static, stand-alone objects, which are doomed to become relics or fetishes over time, while proposing that art lies in the viewer's reception of a proposition made by the artist at a specific place and time. Obrist conceived his experimental symposia with a similar sensibility -- which makes sense, since he is of the same generation and matured in the same intellectual milieu -- but when "theanyspacewhatever" turned out to be so undemanding that it was largely written off by many as a bore, one wonders what the artists will have to say about the marathon's punishing spatial and temporal parameters -- respectively ...
Interview with Lisi Raskin
Now that progress is as predictable as an automatic software update or higher resolution in a camera phone, the idea that technological advancement holds the key to a better future -- and the fear that it could be abused as a tool of world domination -- seem like quaint relics of the 1950s and '60s. Lisi Raskin's exaggeratedly ragged, hand-crafted reconstructions of military command centers evoke the thrall such spaces held over the public imagination during the Cold War even as they reinforce the contemporary viewer's distance from that feeling of awe. Over the past year, Raskin's installations on this topic have surfaced in several locations as stages of an ongoing project titled Mobile Observation. This year's incarnations began with Command and Control, an installation at the Park Avenue Armory in February, and continued with Mobile Observation (Transmitting and Receiving) Station at Bard College's Hessel Museum of Art, for which she embarked on a road trip to military sites across the United States and sent back materials to be exhibited. Mobile Observation will peak on Friday with Tipping Point, a performance at the opening of "Soft Manipulation" at Casino Luxembourg, where the resulting carnage will remain on view through the exhibition's run. Here Raskin, who works at studios in Brooklyn and Oakland, California, discusses her newest work and how it represents a change in her perception of Cold War mythology.

Almost two-thirds of middle-income boomers have no plan to address long-term care they might need in retirement, according to a survey released Tuesday by Bankers Life and Casualty Company Center for a Secure Retirement. Only 20% have even a rough plan for care in retirement.
Bankers Life surveyed nearly 1,300 Americans between 49 and 67 with incomes between $25,000 and $75,000.
"Retirement care is an important and often overlooked component of planning for retirement," Chris Campbell, senior vice president of marketing and communications at Bankers Life and Casualty, said in a statement. "Boomers today need to consider moving beyond simply creating a retirement financial plan to also creating a retirement care plan that reflects their own needs, preferences and financial circumstances."
In a morbid turn, the study found respondents are almost five times as likely to have a plan for what they want their family to do when they die. Over 80% have taken at least one step to prepare for their death like sharing preferences on funeral arrangements or burial location, buying life insurance or creating a will. Just 17% of respondents have taken even one step to prepare for care they may need later in life.
Reluctance to speak with an advisor might be understandable, but the survey found that some boomers haven't even talked to their spouse about how they want to be cared for if they can't do it themselves. Fifty-six percent of respondents said they've haven't discussed how to pay for long-term care with anyone, not even their spouse, and 43% haven't talked about what kind of care they would want.
They might think it's a conversation they just don't need to have. Only a third said they might ever need long-term care. The survey referred to data from the Department of Health and Human Services, though, that showed the chance of needing care was closer to 70%.
In addition to setting their clients straight on being prepared for a common eventuality, advisors can also disabuse them of misconceptions about long-term care in general. The majority of respondents underestimated the cost of a year in a nursing home by almost half, putting the average cost at almost $47,000. The actual cost is over $90,500, according to Bankers Life. When asked to estimate the hourly rate for a home health aide, though, respondents significantly overestimated the cost. According to the 2013 Genworth Cost of Care survey, the national rate for a home health aide is $19 per hour.

NPD Group: Parents Demanding Balance in Children's Play Experiences
The Evolution of Play, the latest report from The NPD Group, examines a variety of factors in a changing environment for play, toy purchasing, and shopping habits. At the top of most people's minds is the impact electronic devices have had on children's playtime with traditional play items. NPD noted that almost 40 percent of parents felt their child is spending less time with traditional toys, while slightly more than half (51 percent) said the devices had no impact at all. Not surprisingly, as kids get older, the impact of technology becomes more important in terms of time spent with more traditional playtime items. In fact, younger children who use technology are still more likely to request traditional toys, and their use of devices is perceived to have little effect on playtime with toys. Among the parents who say they spent less money on any type of play item for their kids over the past year, 54 percent cited the economy and less disposable income, compared with only 24 percent who called out a shift to technology. According to the report, heavy spenders on technology products—those spending $200 or more a year—are actually the most engaged traditional toy buyers, and are more likely to shop most toy categories and spend more when they do make a purchase. For example, heavy tech buyers are nearly 40 percent more likely to...Read More

The Liberty field hockey team poses with the NorPac championship banner after defeating 10th ranked Stanford to claim the conference title on Saturday.
Natalie Barr's go-ahead goal with 3:49 remaining in the game propelled the Liberty Lady Flames field hockey team to a 2-1 upset of 10th ranked Stanford and the 2013 NorPac Championship title. With the victory, Liberty earns a berth in the NCAA Division I Field Hockey Championship and will compete in a play-in game on Wednesday. The Lady Flames will find out their opponent tomorrow night when the NCAA announces the tournament field at 10 p.m.
Liberty claims its first NorPac title in just its second season of competition in the league and third season overall as a program. The win helped the Lady Flames avenge a 3-0 loss in last season's title match to Stanford in Farmville, Va.
Natalie Barr scored both of the Lady Flames' goals in the second half and tournament MVP Ann Jefferis stepped up in a big way to notch six saves in the cage, as Liberty won its program-record 12th game in a row. The Lady Flames improve to 17-4 overall with the win, while the Cardinal falls to 16-5.
Joining Jefferis on the All-Tournament team were sisters Natalie and Bethany Barr. Jefferis finished the tournament with eight saves and just two goals allowed in five halves of play. Natalie Barr tallied two goals, while Bethany Barr notched two goals and an assist over the course of the three-day tournament.
Stanford controlled the ball for much of the opening half. The Cardinal out-shot the Lady Flames, 9-4, and forced six penalty corners to Liberty's one. However, the Liberty defense weathered the early storm. Jefferis made five first-half saves and the Lady Flames' defensive penalty-corner unit led by midfielder Erin Dombach turned Stanford away on each of its short corner opportunities in the opening stanza.
On offense, Liberty managed to get several open shots, but was unable to send any of them on cage, as the game went to halftime deadlocked at zero.
With the support of a raucous crowd of over 750 people, the Lady Flames' offense began to pick up momentum midway through the final half. In the 52nd minute, Liberty's Helen Doolittle fired a shot wide of the goal off of the team's final short corner attempt of the contest.
The Lady Flames finally broke the scoreless tie with 12:37 remaining in the game. Serena Barr made a run inside the Stanford 25-yard line and dumped the ball ahead to a streaking Natalie Barr. The sophomore knocked down the pass in the left side of the circle and blasted a strong-side sweep into the top-right corner of the cage, giving Liberty the 1-0 advantage.
The Cardinal would not go quietly, coming back with two shots and two penalty corners in the next 7:10 of action. On the second short corner attempt, Jessica Chisholm delivered a pass across the circle to Alex McCawley. The midfielder lined the ball past Jefferis and into the cage, knotting the contest at one apiece.
With the minutes ticking away, Natalie Barr stepped up and proved why she was named the NorPac East Division Offensive Player of the Year two years in a row. Jordan Richardson chased down a ball near the right baseline and sent it into the circle to Barr. The sophomore dribbled toward the cage, and despite tight defense from Stanford, ripped a reverse shot past Stanford goalkeeper Dulcie Davies. Barr's second marker of the match proved to be the game-winner with 3:49 left to go in the game.
The Cardinal, in an attempt to tie the score, pulled Davies in favor of another field player. Liberty's defense stood tall yet again and did not surrender a shot in the waning minutes, sealing the game and the title for the Lady Flames.
Stanford recorded more shots, 15-7, and more penalty corners, 11-2, than Liberty, but the Lady Flames were able to convert on their only two shots on goal of the contest, which proved to be the difference.
Jefferis came up with multiple big saves on the day, finishing with six for the contest. Davies did not make a save in her 70 minutes of action.

Adhesive capsulitis is a tightening in the shoulder joint. It decreases the range of motion in the shoulder and causes pain. This condition is also known as frozen shoulder . It is caused by tightening of the soft tissue and formation of scar tissue.
During this arthroscopic surgery, the doctor cuts and removes scar tissue around the shoulder. The goal of the procedure is to improve range-of-motion by breaking up scar tissue
|Frozen Shoulder
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to:
- Relieve pain
- Restore range of motion in the shoulder joint
- Break up scar tissue
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Pain
- Nerve injury
- Damage to soft tissue
- Instability or stiffness in joint
- Fracture
- Reaction to anesthesia used
Factors that may increase your risk of complications:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
Leading up to the procedure:
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital, and for help at home after the procedure.
- The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
- If told to do so by your doctor, on the day of the surgery, shower using a special antibacterial soap. Do not use deodorant.
General anesthesia will most likely be used. You will be asleep during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
Three small incisions will be made in your shoulder. A special tool called an arthroscope will be inserted. An arthroscope is a flexible tube with a light at the end and a camera attached. This will allow the doctor to view the inside of the shoulder on a screen. Tiny instruments will be inserted into the other incisions. The doctor will then cut and remove scar tissue. The incisions will be closed with stitches.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be taken to a recovery room after surgery. You will be monitored for any adverse reactions to surgery or anesthesia.
How Long Will It Take
About 1-½ to 2 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Average Hospital Stay
If there are no complications, it may be possible to leave the hospital on the same day. Talk to your doctor to see if this is an option in your case.
Post-procedure Care
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding visitors and healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incisions
Your shoulder will be sore for a few weeks. It can take 3-6 months to fully recover.
When you return home, you may be asked to do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Use a sling if told to do so by your doctor. You may not need to use one, because it can cause stiffness.
- Work with a physical therapist at home to focus on range-of-motion exercises.
Call Your Doctor
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infections, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision sites
- Cough, trouble breathing, or chest pain
- Severe nausea or vomiting
- Pain becomes worse or swelling increases
- Tingling or numbness that will not go away, especially in arms and hands
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Ricky Martin's coming out caused a deep depression, matched only by the deep depression I went into after Richard Chamberlain came out. Mr. Leek was not amused (either time).
It's amazing how much better KScrew actually looks when she bathes & wears clean clothes that actually fit...to bad there's not an easy fix for her horrendous attitude problem & utter lack of professionalism

I thought her rep as a total professional was Stewart's only redeeming quality.

Good idea, but as previously pointed out, the processor just wouldn't be able to handle it...
Thanks again SuperBova for the inspiration.
Good idea, but as previously pointed out, the processor just wouldn't be able to handle it, Plus, the amount of effort that the developer would have to go through in order to get Nintendo to approve it would be tremendous.Plus you'd have to consider that the language that Universe Sandbox is written in may not be compatible with the DS.However, a simpler option would be the iPhone/iPod Touch, It sports a 533 MHz processor, compared to the DS' 67MHz. Add 128MB of RAM. And, with a Multitouch screen, you could get maximum control over your universe.And the really nice bit about the iPhone/iPod Touch, The developers license is only $99, and that entitles you to all of the Developers Software, the ability to test it on the actual device, Full Support, and the ability to publish the content to the Appstore.

http://mmajunkie.com Ronnie Mann (21-4-1 MMA, 3-1 BFC) is joining a second Bellator tournament.
The English fighter, who posted a semifinal finish during the "Summer Series" tournament earlier this year, has joined the season-six featherweight tourney.
Bellator officials recently announced his participation in the eight-man field, which kicks off in March on MTV2.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported Monday, WEC and IFL veteran Wagnney Fabiano (14-3 MMA, 0-0 BFC) also is slated for the field.
Mann, a former Cage Rage and World Victory Road/Sengoku fighter, joined Bellator earlier this year. After knocking out Adam Schindler in the opening round of the "Summer Series" tourney, he suffered a decision loss to Pat Curran in the semifinals and was bounced from the tournament.
During the recently concluded sixth season, Mann had a successful return to competition and submitted Kenny Foster to help secure a berth in the season-six tourney. Mann is now 5-1 over his past six fights and 10-2 over the past four years. Aside from Curran, the Team Tompkins fighter's only other loss during the stretch came to notable Hatsu Hioki in the 2009 Sengoku featherweight grand prix.
In addition to the featherweight tournament, Bellator is hosting season-six tourneys in the bantamweight, lightweight, welterweight and middleweight divisions. Each tourney winner gets $100,000 in total pay and a guaranteed title shot.

Spread of Christianity
outline: waves of diaspora create hubs to facilitate spread of new religion, merchants and missionaries, St. Paul-religion mixed with gentile ideas and worship
Christianity spread through the Roman empire. Via Appia made it easier. St. Paul as a Roman citizen( he was from Tarsus in South- Central Anatolia) was free to move freely through the extent of the Empire. The Roman Empire was then comparatively at peace, The wide sovereignty of Rome gave the apostles of Christ access to different nations, many of whom had become civilized under Roman influence.
Since emperor Theodosius I (379-395 AD) the official state religion of the Roman Empire was Christianity. Subsequently, former Roman territories became Christian states which exported their religion to other parts of the world, through colonization and missionaries.
We may need to look back even before the Jews were expelled from Jerusalem in 70 AD. Under the Assyrian and Babylonian empires saw diaspora of Jews and were many hubs of Hebrew faith with local synagogues. Each group carried traditions of their fathers. Early Jewish Christians carried the new religion to these congregation of Jews. These early Christians were merchants and others who had practical reasons for traveling to northern Africa, Asia Minor, Arabia, Greece, and other places. But in the missionary zeal and sustained effort to spread the gospel of good news none would match Paul. St. Paul was converted from his Hebrew belief and had set himself to be an Apostle for Christ. His success partly owed to the groundwork laid by others before him.
Antioch was a major centre of Hellenistic Greece then part of Syria province. It was here the sect was called Christians for the first time. Bishop Irenaeus of Lyons in the second century believed that Paul and Peter had been the founders the Church of Rome. Despite of persecutions under many Caesars the Christians thrived and during the reign of Constantine the Great Christianity became the state religion. Influence of Greece was already in the cities such as Alexandria, Antioch, Rome, Caesarea, Paphos and Anatolia. These in turn would serve as hubs of proselytism and pagan ideas in course of time will mingle with the new religion*. The earliest bishops of Rome were all Greek-speaking, the most notable of them being Pope Clement I. (* sun worship: prayers are offered while looking toward sunrise in the East" because the Orient represents the birth of light that "dispels the darkness of the night" and because of the orientation of "the ancient temples. Clement of Alexandria, Stromateis 7, 7, 43, GCS 3, 32. or Origen (c. AD 185-254) whose view was that the East symbolizes the soul looking to the source of light. Origen,67 De oratione 32, GCS 2, 400, 23.)
One of the Church fathers of Catholicism Augustine of Hyppo ( 354-430AD) was converted from Manichaeism that had its origins in the heavily Gnostic area of the Persian Empire.
Manichaean ways of thinking had an influence on the development of some of Augustine's Christian ideas, such as the nature of good and evil, the idea of Hell, the separation of groups into Elect, Hearers, and Sinners, the hostility to the flesh and sexual activity, and so on. Spread of religion whether along the Silk Road or via Appia followed more or less a similar pattern. Unconsciously the venerable Church father while systemizing Christian philosophy would add his own intellectual coloring to Christian belief-system.
While Church of Rome was established in the West of the empire the converts from the pagan world would bring their own practices and add to the many rites and symbols of the pagan world. This we see even in our times. In Mexico or in India Christianity would be colored by the beliefs of people. These would be a point of controversy during the Reformation period.

I bet the gals in genpop would be happy to have not only an ex-cop, but an abusive ex-cop who likes to abuse people in wheelchairs who can't even move, join their ranks. They might even throw her a few of those pillowcase parties I've heard so much about.
Now authorities need to go after the jail employees who saw it but didn't report it, and especially the jerk cop at the end of the video who laughed about it.

office cleaning
Once a week there's one thing I must do before Monday comes, and that is clean my office space. It gets used by me and my husband and there's always jewelry shop stuff, papers, labels, pens and little things that accumulate all over the place. If I don't get it together by the time Monday comes, my motivation is gone. And for me nothing is more motivating than a clean, uncluttered space.
But as you can see I didn't get much past this room, Israel's toy animals are piled on the sofa and coffee table and in every other room in the house.
What's your weekly 'must-do'?

Speaking at the fifth conference on the study of Iran's 'sacred defense' files, Deputy Commander of Iran's Armed Forces of the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Gholamali Rashid said that under "current threatening conditions" when the US and Israel are "daily beating on their war drums," it would not be an exaggeration to say that we are on the verge of a potential war in the [near] future."
Gen. Rashid's remarks came following his description of threats made by the US and Israel against countries of the region after the "suspicious September 11 incident."
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
Referring to continued US threats against the Islamic Republic in the past 10 years, he reiterated that Iran's Army and the IRGC are maintaining constant readiness for any given situation.
The IRGC general said one of the signs of threats against the country is the four wars that Israel and the US waged in our region in less than eight years leading to thousands of deaths, millions of homeless and the destruction of infrastructures in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine.
He noted that despite all the death and destruction they have brought to Muslims and Muslim countries while calling Islam and Muslims their number one enemy, they have the nerve to deceitfully talk about human rights. These are the reasons behind their insult against Islam's holy book of Qur'an.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
Rashid also added that he does not think that US military commanders would commit such a strategic mistake of an all-out war, "since they are militarily incapable of waging a ground war against Iran."
He also expressed doubt about a US aerial or missile attack against Iran, adding that they are well-aware of Iran's great deterrence capacity, missile power, and enhanced sea defense potentials.

Increases in the state pension age are believed to be partially responsible for the UK's employment rate reaching its highest rate since records began in 1971.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the employment rate in the UK reached 76.1% between December 2018 and February 2019.
Men in employment hit 80.5% in the three months to February 2019, while women in employment reached 71.8% over the same period.
The statistics show that more women are continuing to work for longer.
From December 2018, the state pension age is rising for both genders until it reaches 66 in October 2020, and is scheduled to increase to 67 between 2026 and 2028.
The ONS report said:
"The growth in employment was driven mainly by the number of women getting into jobs."
Charlie McCurdy, researcher at the Resolution Foundation, added:
"We have even more evidence the position of women in the jobs market is improving, with a staggering 70% of jobs growth over the last quarter has come from female employment.
"The employment rate for women is at the joint-highest it's ever been."

Moving the Museum Online
Recently, Adobe Systems Incorporated released a new product. Not an update to its existing suite, which include tools of the online trade such as Photoshop, Acrobat Reader and Flash, or some new software to fulfill ever-evolving creative needs. Instead, it is an online destination for viewing digital art entitled the Adobe Museum of Digital Media (AMDM).
After waiting for the museum to load, you are greeted by a tour guide with a peculiar accent, whose likeness resembles a cross between a jellyfish and an eyeball. The museum has one current exhibit, a specially-commissioned piece by internationally acclaimed artist Tony Oursler, who is best known for his disconcerting projection installation works. As the museum has just launched, there is a limited amount to see: plans for the "building", a chat with the curator, Tom Eccles, more chatter from the jellyfish-eyeball, the commissioned artwork by Oursler, and a comments section.
Before getting into the details of the museum itself, it is worth interrogating why it is considered by its creators to be a museum at all. The press release states the mission of the museum to be "...an interactive venue to present and preserve groundbreaking digital media works, inspire creative ideas and experimentation, and provide a forum for expert commentary on how digital media influences culture and society". The mission is sound, but except for the word "preserve" there is little in it that specifically invokes the mantle of "museum". As the AMDM is an obvious marketing exercise which promotes the use of digital tools (that Adobe happens to create), it's a short leap of logic to conclude that "museum" was simply decided on as a word with greater impact than "gallery" or "showcase".

The Postmedia Perspective
The following excerpt comes from the final chapter of my book Media, New Media, Postmedia, recently published in Italian by Postmediabooks, who kindly gave Rhizome permission to republish it in English. The book is an attempt to analyze the current positioning of so-called "New Media Art" in the wider field of contemporary arts, and to explore the historical, sociological and conceptual reasons for its marginal position and under-recognition in recent art history.

We do not think that taking a stand for or against WikiLeaks is what matters most. WikiLeaks is here to stay, until it either scuttles itself or is destroyed by opposing forces. Our point is rather to (try to) assess and ascertain what WikiLeaks can, could — and maybe even should — do, and to help formulate how "we" could relate to and interact with WikiLeaks. Despite all its drawbacks, and against all odds, WikiLeaks has rendered a sterling service to the cause of transparency, democracy and openness. As the French would say, if something like it did not exist, it would have to be invented. The quantitative — and what looks soon to become the qualitative — turn of information overload is a fact of contemporary life. The glut of disclosable information can only be expected to continue grow — and exponentially so. To organize and interpret this Himalaya of data is a collective challenge that is clearly out there, whether we give it the name "WikiLeaks" or not.

Inevitably, the fast pace of consumerism is accompanied by the tantalizing promise of slow time—Allen Ginsberg once complained of a heart attack en route to his weekly meditation.
Just as the arts were reinvented in the age of the camera, so too must they be in the age of accelerated time. If the internet and the touch screen represent the apparatuses of our age, then the material and the prolonged have become a niche for the discursive and formal role of the arts. Much like a spa, the arts play host to a malnourished subject eager to experience something nostalgically other. Slow time and tangible bodies become so rare experientially that their aesthetic value finds a home in the cul-de-sac of scarcity that is art.
Since the advent of mechanical production, the arts have been the space in which the hard-to-find seeks refuge. And while the art market has been much discussed, we now find another form of scarcity in forms of experience. At times in tension, at times in collusion with capitalist scarcity, the scarcity of experience encourages forms of art that are not as easily distributed as—and thus more distinguishable from—the mass produced goods of the broader market. Massive installations, sculptures, performance, civic institutions (the museum), time-based relational aesthetics all find value in their experiential distinction from larger markets. Museums offer special opportunities to experience the body in space. In this spasmodic era, we find the arts recalibrated as a temporal, spatial, and bodily escape.
This kind of shifted aesthetic disposition resists not only the pace of the information economy, but, perhaps more importantly, our very ability to consume our experience. If we are frantic, it is only because we need to ...

In order to explore the contradictions and the potential of time- based art, especially in its cinematic guise, I trace a number of overlapping and conflicting genealogies of film and video art. I believe that only by creating a constellation of such genealogies can the logic and structural antinomies of film and video art—and of time-based art in general—be brought into relief and related to the wider changes in the political economy of time during the past decades, during which the West has seen a gradual demise of Fordist assembly-line production and a disintegration of the strict separation between work and "free time." The classic alternation of work and leisure can be called, with Guy Debord, a form of pseudocyclical time, an apparent return to agricultural, "mythical" cycles in a temporal regime built on irreversible, historical time—or rather, on a reified form of such historical time, that of commodity production.
"Once there was history, but not any more," because the class of owners of the economy, which is inextricably tied to economic history, must repress every other irreversible use of time because it is directly threatened by them all. The ruling class, made up of specialists in the possession of thingswho are themselves therefore possessed by things, is forced to link its fate with the preservation of this reified history, that is, with the preservation of a new immobility within history.7
This immobility is manifested in pseudocyclical time, a commodified temporality that is homogenous and suppresses "any qualitative dimension" or, at most, mimics such dimensions in moments of sham liberation.8 For Debord, time-based art from the 1960s could consist only of such pseudoindividual, pseudoliberatory moments ...
Level 5 Videos
Brody Condon has uploaded two videos documenting LevelFive, a live action role-playing game/performance modeled after 1970s self actualization seminars such as Erhard Seminars Training. (The LevelFive site provides a clip of one of these sessions, from Adam Curtis' documentary Century of the Self, here.) Participants, all of whom are volunteers, take up a character for the entire duration of the weekend, and engage in a series of intense self-actualizing exercises and seminars as this person. Similar to Condon's previous project TwentyfiveFold Manifestation, the immersion and duration of the game work plays on the "bleed" between the participant's original self and that of their character. LevelFive took place at the Hammer Museum of Art from September 4-5, 2010 and again at the San Jose Convention Center on September 17-18, 2010, during the Zero1 Biennial.

By David Ponce
We're pretty happy it's becoming common knowledge that when someone is badly injured and bleeding severely, the best on-scene treatment while awaiting paramedics is the application of a tourniquet. If you don't know, this is when you tie a piece of rope above the injury and tighten in order to cut off blood flow and prevent death from exsanguination (read: bleeding out). Sadly, it's not always possible to apply a tourniquet in every situation: when injured in the groin, the abdomen or the neck for instance. For times like these, Combat Medical Systems of Fayetteville, N.C. has developed the CRoC, or combat ready clamp, which is a vise-like device designed to manage difficult inguinal bleeds (that's groin bleeds… Come to think of it, this is probably not a good idea on the neck…).
Uncontrolled bleeding accounts for 25% of potentially survivable deaths in the field and according to an article in the U.S. Army Medical Department Journal, getting better stemming the flow of blood in the field could save up to three soldier lives per month.
While the CRoC is clearly aimed for the armed services' use, you can apparently buy one for yourself for $445.

Woodwind Accessories
Owning and playing an instrument is a rewarding hobby, but it can also be a big job. Like any instruments, your woodwinds need your support to stay in good shape and produce consistent sound. In accessories, you'll find the tools you need to keep your instrument in peak condition, as well as extras for personalizing your woodwinds and the way you play them. Naturally, the reed is one of the most important parts of a woodwind instrument—so there are dozens of reeds to choose from. Reeds are a matter of preference, and since the hardness and thickness of a given style will vary between reed-makers, it's a good idea to start with a small pack when trying out a new reed to hear it in action before stocking up. You might also want to keep a handful of different reeds in your collection, which will allow you to choose the one with the best tone for each venue and genre you play. Mouthpieces go hand-in-hand with reeds, and also deserve careful consideration. A metal or even crystal saxophone mouthpiece, for example, can give your sound a completely different edge when compared to a traditional hard rubber mouthpiece. Along with the mouthpiece, choose your own ligature that's the best fit for your preferred reed and add a quality cap to protect the mouthpiece and reed from dust, drying and chipping. A variety of cases and stands will safely get your instrument from home to venue and put it at your fingertips on the stage. Use straps or harnesses to help support your instruments while you play, making long shows easier on your back and arms. Replace the pads on your keys when they start to get worn, and of course, take care of all your do-it-yourself maintenance with repair kits and care products including germicides, cleaning solutions, swabs, cleaning rods and more. Whichever woodwind instruments you play, keeping yourself stocked up with the accessories you need will help you to get the most out of them. Taking care of your instruments isn't just a good idea, it's essential to preserve the quality of their sound.


text: Per Danny Knobler, David DeJesus has been traded to the Nationals for a player to be named later. The Nationals are in town for a four game series, guess David will just walk across the infield and into their dugout, no word yet on the PTBNL. Wishing you the best Dave, and Kim. The Nationals actually claimed DeJesus off of waivers then the two teams came to terms on a deal. The Cubs are going to save roughly $2.5 million in this deal ($1 million in salary, $1.5 million in buyout), and Ryan Sweeney is close to coming off the DL. Brian Bogusevic is coming off the DL today, and he will be taking the roster spot vacated by DeJesus.

For the next few weeks it will be holiday season, and lots of us will be visiting with family. There will be good times, but a lot of us will have awkward moments with families who distrust or reject science. How do you deal with it when that happens?
Image is of a famous XKCD cartoon and t-shirt.
There are a lot of ways that the science debate can come up during the holidays. Obviously, there is the religious aspect of the conflict. But there are other sides to it, too. In my family, there was often a lot of hippie talk about how alternative medicine was better than evil Big Pharma. Let's just say that I wasn't always graceful or rational in my attempts to explain that science has done a lot of good in the world, even if there are some evil greedy corporations out there. Does anybody have some good advice, or just good stories, about dealing with the inevitable holiday science conflict?
Yes, yes – I know that many of you have wonderful families who embrace science. So help the rest of us out, okay?

ORLANDO -- More than 90% of men with high-risk castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) had significant biochemical responses to a novel anti-androgen, results of small clinical trial showed.
Only four of 47 men had less than a 50% decrease in PSA values during 6 months of treatment with ARN-509, a selective androgen receptor antagonist without significant agonist activity, reported Matthew Smith, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues.

- These studies were published as abstracts and presented at a conference. These data and conclusions should be considered to be preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
- More than 90% of men with high-risk castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) had significant biochemical responses to a novel anti-androgen known as ARN-509.
- Two targeted agents -- aflibercept and dasatinib -- joined other therapies that have failed to improve outcomes when added to docetaxel for men with metastatic CRPC.
The cohort had an estimated 12-month progression-free survival (PFS) of almost 90%, Smith said here at the Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.
"ARN-509 is active in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer at high risk of metastasis," Smith said. "The safety profile was consistent with what was observed in phase I. The most common adverse events are grades 1 and 2 fatigue and gastrointestinal disturbances. Only two patients discontinued due to adverse events, and there were no treatment-related serious adverse events. These observations support further development of ARN-509 in prostate cancer."
Meanwhile, in two other symposium presentations, two targeted agents joined a long list of therapies that have failed to improve outcomes when added to docetaxel for men with metastatic CRPC. Large randomized trials evaluating docetaxel with aflibercept (Zaltrap) or dasatinib (Sprycel) showed no survival benefit compared with docetaxel alone.
ARN-509 blocks androgen receptor activity by inhibiting receptor nuclear translocation and DNA binding to androgen response elements. In preclinical models, ARN-509 demonstrated dose-dependent tumor regression that was superior to that of bicalutamide, Smith said.
In the phase I segment of a phase I/II clinical trial, ARN-509 demonstrated safety and tolerability in a small group of men with previously treated metastatic CRPC. Across the range of doses evaluated, the drug induced PSA declines and decreased uptake of dehydrogenase testosterone by PET imaging.
Smith presented initial data from the phase II part of the trial, involving men with nonmetastatic CRPC deemed high risk on the basis of PSA kinetics. Investigators in the phase II component also evaluated ARN-509 in men with previously untreated metastatic CRPC and patients with metastatic CRPC that progressed on abiraterone (Zytiga).
The patients with high-risk nonmetastatic disease received ARN-509 240 mg a day on continuous 28-day cycles. PSA was measured monthly, and tumor assessment for response occurred every 4 months.
The primary endpoint was PSA response after 12 weeks of treatment, and secondary endpoints were time to PSA progression and ARN-509 safety.
The median treatment duration was 8.1 months. Smith said six patients discontinued: one because of objective progression, one for clinical progression, two for adverse events, one because of consent withdrawal, and one for "other" reasons. Three patients required dose reductions.
At 12 and 24 weeks, 91% (43 of 47) of patients had PSA declines of more than 50% from baseline. The estimated 12-month PFS was 88.7%.
The most frequent (>10%) treatment-emergent adverse events (all grades) were fatigue, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, rash, decreased appetite, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. Grade 3+ adverse events were uncommon.
Separately, two large, randomized clinical trials failed to show a survival advantage with add-on therapy to docetaxel for metastatic CRPC.
A small preliminary study has yielded promising results with dasatinib add-on therapy, as a majority of patients had significant declines in PSA levels and 60% of evaluable patients had partial responses (Cancer 2012; 118: 63-71). Additionally, the treatment demonstrated bone-targeted activity by several different parameters.
The potential benefits of the dasatinib-docetaxel combination were not borne out in a 1,500-patient randomized trial. The trial had a primary endpoint of overall survival, which turned out to be almost identical with docetaxel alone (median of 21.2 months) or in combination with dasatinib (21.5 months).
Subgroup analysis failed to identify any patients who benefited from the addition of dasatinib, said John Araujo, MD, of the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Moreover, all secondary endpoints were similar between groups, including response rate, median PFS, PSA progression, bone turnover markers, and pain scores.
The dasatinib arm exhibited a trend toward prolongation of the median time to a first skeletal-related event (31.1 months with docetaxel versus not yet reached with dasatinib).
Araujo said future advances in the treatment of metastatic CRPC will require a better understanding of how to optimize the use of targeted agents with chemotherapy.
Similarly disappointing results emerged from the trial of aflibercept add-on therapy, which involved 1,200 patients with untreated metastatic CRPC.
Statistically powered to detect a difference in survival, the trial showed no difference between groups, as the aflibercept-docetaxel group had a median survival of 22.1 months compared with 21.2 months for patients treated with docetaxel and placebo, reported Ian Tannock, MD, of Princess Margaret Cancer Center in Toronto.
The aflibercept combination did demonstrate evidence of biologic activity, reflected in a median decline in PSA level of 68.6% compared with 63.5% with docetaxel alone. Additionally, the combination was associated with a tumor response rate of 38.4% compared with 28.1% for docetaxel-placebo.
However, aflibercept added substantially to toxicity, reflected in a 77% incidence of grade 3/4 adverse events compared with 48.5% in patients treated with docetaxel alone. The more toxic regimen substantially reduced treatment duration.
Displaying a list of negative trials of add-on therapy for metastatic CRPC, Tannock urged a more cautious approach going forward.
"Future large phase III trials comparing docetaxel and prednisone with and without a targeted agent should only be undertaken if there is evidence of substantial increased activity from early-phase studies," Tannock said.

STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania: The threat to newspapers may be from online sources, but the battle has to be fought with good content, backed by solid in-paper promotion of editorial and advertising content.
So says John Curley, the first editor of USA Today, and the man who succeeded Al Neuharth as president, chairman and CEO of Gannett Corporation.
Now a professor and distinguished professional in residence at Penn State University, and co-director of PSU's Center for Sports Journalism, Curley says it's time newspapers, instead of moaning and groaning about falling numbers, went back to doing more "enterprise reporting" that they used to do and many still do. Because, he avers, those are the stories nobody else can do, and will bring readers to newspapers and hold circulations at levels that are satisfactory.
"I think it's a misnomer to believe that circulation has gone down sharply. It's gone down at the rate of about one or one-and-a-half per cent a year. If it settles in at that, then a lot of the advertising will stay where it is.
"A lot of times the press will, rightly, focus on the good and the bad. Sometimes it looks like things are worse than they are. That's been the case with some of the reporting (about the media) in the last couple of years. Realistically there are a lot of good things going on."
Curley, who teaches a course issues for newsroom managers, says the newspaper industry should look at news ways of promoting classified advertising as a reading habit.
"There been some slippage (in revenue from classifieds) due to interest rates and other things in automotive and real estate. Not so much in employment. The fact is that a lot of people have not put in in-paper promotion to convince readers to look at the classifieds that they are carrying. We ought to try some interesting manoeuvres on the front pages of the classifieds section to draw people in.
"Research has shown that classifieds have a lot of appeal to people under 25 because they are starting out, looking for apartments, moving around a bit more. Maybe we ought to capitalise on the web and in print."

Three soldiers and a demonstrator were killed in the latest clashes in a troubled province of Southern Yemen, tribal sources said Sunday.
The clashes, in which seven soldiers were also wounded, took place Saturday in Glash, a village of Dhaleh province some 100 kilometers from the port city of Aden.
Demonstrators opened fire at soldiers two days after the army shot dead a villager and wounded another who were to take part in an opposition rally, the sources said.
On May 11th, several thousand people demonstrated in Dhaleh to protest against lawlessness and the alleged brutality of security forces in the province.
The Yemeni army is deployed in force in Dhaleh province, which has seen a regular string of incidents between the military and civilians for the past two years.
Residents, backed by Yemen's opposition, have repeatedly called for the release of prisoners, the demilitarization of the town, and for soldiers from the former South Yemen to be integrated into the army - ADEN (AFP)

OAKLAND, California - Police were in the process of arresting about 100 Occupy protesters for failing to disperse Saturday night, hours after officers used tear gas on a rowdy group of demonstrators who threw rocks and flares at them and tore down fences.
Police Sgt. Christopher Bolton said the arrests came after protesters marched through downtown Oakland a little before 8 p.m. local time Saturday, with some of them entering a YMCA building.
Meanwhile, about 100 police officers surrounded City Hall while others were swept the inside of the building to see if any protesters broke in.
More help from other police agencies was also on the way, with busloads of Alameda County sheriff's deputies arriving in the downtown area late Saturday.
The nighttime arrests came after 19 people were taken into custody in Occupy Oakland protests hours earlier.
The national Occupy Wall Street movement, which denounces corporate excess and economic inequality, began in New York City in the fall but has been largely dormant lately.
Oakland, New York and Los Angeles were among the cities with the largest and most vocal Occupy protests early on. The demonstrations ebbed after those cities used force to move out hundreds of demonstrators who had set up tent cities.
In Oakland, the police department received heavy criticism for using force to break up earlier protests. Among the critics was Mayor Jean Quan, who said she wasn't briefed on the department's plans. Earlier this month, a court-appointed monitor submitted a report to a federal judge that included "serious concerns" about the department's handling of the Occupy protests.
Police used tear gas and "flash" grenades on the group Saturday afternoon after some demonstrators threw rocks and other objects at them. Police said three officers were hurt, but they released no details.
Police said the group assembled at a downtown plaza Saturday morning, with demonstrators threatening to take over the vacant Henry Kaiser Convention Center. The group then marched through the streets, disrupting traffic.
The crowd grew as the day wore on, with afternoon estimates ranging from about 1,000 to 2,000 people.
The protesters walked to the vacant convention center, where some started tearing down perimeter fencing and "destroying construction equipment" shortly before 3 p.m., police said.
Police said they issued a dispersal order and used smoke and tear gas after some protesters pelted them with bottles, rocks, burning flares and other objects.
Most of the arrests were made when protesters ignored orders to leave and assaulted officers, police said. By 4 p.m., the bulk of the crowd had left the convention center and headed back downtown.
The demonstration comes after Occupy protesters said earlier this week that they planned to move into a vacant building and turn it into a social center and political hub. They also threatened to try to shut down the port, occupy the airport and take over City Hall.
In a statement Friday, Oakland City Administrator Deanna Santana said the city would not be "bullied by threats of violence or illegal activity."
Interim police Chief Howard Jordan also warned that officers would arrest those carrying out illegal actions.
Oakland officials said Friday that since the Occupy Oakland encampment was first established in late October, police have arrested about 300 people.

Editorial Round-Up: School Vouchers and Improving Schools
Newspaper took a look at school vouchers and other education proposals in their editorial pages this week.
Legislatures in Ohio and Pennsylvania are considering new legislation to provide school vouchers to families in their states. In Pennsylvania, the House is considering legislation that would establish a voucher program for the first time. Families of four earning up to $29,000 with one student or more attending one of the state's failing schools would be eligible for a $7,000 to pay for tuition at a private school, according to the Delaware County (Pa.) Times. Families of four that make up to $41,300 in annual income could collect a $5,250 voucher.
Its western neighbor, Ohio, is considering an expansion of its existing voucher program. A bill proposed in the state House would allow families earning up to $95,000 to qualify for a voucher of $2,313 to $4,626 to attend a private school, according to the Plain Dealer in Cleveland. Even families residing in areas with high performing public schools could apply; the program as it is currently run is restricted to those attending failing schools, the newspaper reports.
The Patriot-News in Harrisburg offered some suggestions in its Dec. 7 editorial about how the current legislation in its state could be improved. First, the newspaper said: the House should remove a provision that would expand the voucher program after seven years -- the edit board says the focus should be on "students who are in the worse-case scenarios" for now. Second, ensure that voucher recipients could also use their vouchers at not just private and charter schools, but at different public school as well. Finally, require private schools that enroll voucher students to take the state exams as a means of ensuring accountability for the taxpayer dollars that are being spent.
"Vouchers are not another Band-Aid; they are a true game changer," the newspaper asserted. "If the legislation is done correctly, a student can potentially transfer from a school that is not achieving to one that is."
Meanwhile, in Ohio, the Plain Dealer warned on Dec. 5 that the voucher expansion bill under consideration by its state legislature was a "mistake." The current voucher program, which supplies state funding for students from low-income families attending poorly performing schools, is "critical," the Plain Dealer said. But the bill that is being weighed by the state legislature would "gouge holes in the budgets of public schools that are already on the ropes," the newspaper claimed.
Public schools could lose thousands of dollars for each student that departs, the Plain Dealer asserted, while there are no mechanisms in the present bill to hold those private schools that receive their funding accountable. "Public schools are likely to continue to educate most children," the newspaper concluded. Supporters of the legislation "should not make it harder for successful schools to do the job."
Newspapers elsewhere also weighed in on education proposals being put forth in their states and communities.
The Tuscaloosa News in Alabama voiced its support for a proposal by the city's superintendent that would implement a yearlong school year for struggling schools. While acknowledging that such a plan "demands that students, teachers and parents adapt to a dramatic change," the newspaper argued in its Dec. 7 editorial that it is the kind of radical change needed to reinvigorate underachieving schools.
The News in particular praised the plan as being more than a "half measure." Now, it is up to the school board to be receptive to new ideas and the superintendent to make the case for such a change to the board and the public, the newspaper stressed.
In the world of higher education, tuition hikes have become an increasingly common method for colleges and universities to deal with pending budget shortfalls. The University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University are two of the latest institutions to resort to increases, according to the Shelby Star in Cleveland County, N.C. The newspaper wrote in its Dec. 5 editorial that parents and students should know that some of the new money would go toward salary raises for professors. The Star wondered why the schools couldn't minimize the impact on students by forgoing those raises for its staff or looking for other revenue sources, warning that the state "runs the risk of pricing its own students out of a college education."
"By serving their faculties before their students, colleges lose the focus of their missions," the Star argued. "They should put student welfare at the top of their priority lists by cutting fluff, raising private funding, finding new revenue streams and tightening their belts like other government-sponsored programs."
The Chicago Sun-Times pointed to new evidence that emphasized the importance of a quality education for a student's long-term success. A study conducted in Illinois recently found that high school dropouts are less likely to hold a job, more likely to be in prison and they will ultimately earn less money in their lifetimes.
The city has taken some encouraging steps to aid its high school dropout population, the Sun-Times wrote in its Dec. 6 editorial. One step was establishing a network of alternative schools that allow 5,000 dropouts each year to pursue a high school diploma. A new state law permits the city to open five more of those charter schools in the coming year, an opportunity that the city should be sure to take advantage of, given that study's findings, the newspaper argued.
"With government facing record deficits, it's a tough time to ask to potentially spend more," the Sun-Times acknowledged. But "the long-term costs of dropouts are large, real and often irrevocable."

|Avifors Spell
|Hand Movement
Sideways figure eight
Transforms small objects into birds
- "However, mastering a transfiguration spell such as "Avifors" can be both rewarding and useful."
- —The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2 on the Avifors Spell[src]
The Avifors Spell (Avifors) is a transformation spell which changes small objects or beasts into birds or flocks of birds in a burst of electric blue light.
This charm is learned in the First and revised in the Second-Year Transfiguration Class (or so, it is by Professor Minerva McGonagall).
Avifors should not be confused with the Bird-Conjuring Charm, whose incantation is a base in the etymology of this transfigurative charm.
When used offensively, as in dueling, a jet of blue light will shoot from the caster's wand and hit the target, which will erupt into a burst of electric-blue light and a flock of black bats, which promptly will fly away.
From Latin avis meaning bird, and "fors" (a suffix often used in transfiguration spells) is Latin for "chance, luck, fortune".
