Marshall focus of published work
PLAINVIEW - Dr. Estelle Owens, chairperson for the Division of Social Sciences at Wayland Baptist University, recently received special recognition for one of her pet projects as a paper she wrote on the life of former Wayland president Dr. J.W. Marshall was published in the Summer/Fall 2003 issue of Baptist History and Heritage.
Owens' work "Maximum Christianity Applied as well as Advocated: One Man's Fight Against Racism" takes a close look at Marshal, who served Wayland from 1947-52 and was instrumental in the school's progression from junior to senior college status as well as the voluntary integration of the school.
Owens, who personally interviewed Dr. Marshall at his home in California in 1976 a year before his death, has made a hobby of studying Marshall.
"I looked at his life," Owens said. "From the time he was a tiny little person, he vigorously opposed bigotry. His parents told him that racism was wrong. He grew up with Native American and black playmates so racism was not something he ever understood."
Owens was asked to present her work as part of a panel studying "Baptists on the Frontier" at a meeting of the Southern Baptist History and Heritage Society at The University of Mary Hardin Baylor in Belton last May.
"It really was a continuation of a paper I did a couple of years ago for the Texas State Historical Association on Wayland's integration," Owens said. "But this was more of a life study of (Dr. Marshall). Not just the integration of the college, but his lifelong fight against what he regarded as a moral evil."
Marshall was president when Wayland voluntarily opened its doors to minority students in 1951, becoming the first four-year, liberal-arts school to do so in the formerly confederate south. Other schools had been court-ordered to integrate, but none had done so voluntarily.
"He did it because it was the right thing to do," Owens said. "He believed you could defeat (racism) one person at a time. You couldn't beat people up to do it, but you could defeat it by demonstrating the Jesus ethic. The way he described it was 'maximum Christianity applied as well as advocated.'"
Dr. Marshall was highly criticized for his stance on integration, receiving threatening and vicious letters and postcards. Marshall didn't let that stop him, however, and his tenure at Wayland was marked with controversial decisions, including the one to ban smoking. Marshall was told Wayland would surely close its doors over that decision, but enrollment actually increased the next year.
"The man had some great ideas," Owens said. "His follow through was sometimes a problem. He was a fantastic idea man, but he was not a good administrator, and he would be the first person to admit that."
Owens appreciated the chance to present her paper at the gathering in Belton. She was excited that Dr. Charles Wade, director of the Baptist General Convention of Texas, was in the audience and even asked her a question.
"I was so impressed and I actually knew the answer," she grinned. "I got to show off."
Owens, a professor of history, serves as Wayland's university historian.

Enjoy a hike at The Morton Arboretum
Get out and explore the Arboretum's 16 miles of paved or wood-chipped trails, open from 7 a.m. to sunset.
Here are our suggestions for hikes:
- Big Rock is a 25-minute hike from Big Rock Visitor Station if you take the shorter Woodland Trail (.6 miles), and a 40-minute hike if you take the longer Heritage Trail (1.3 miles). Both trails lead you through oak and maple woodland habitat. Interpretive panels along the short paved loop at the Visitor Station help you explore the geology and native plants you will discover as you walk the longer Heritage Trail.
- Escape to the West Side and take a walk down Joy Path. Begin near the Fragrance Garden, walk past the Flowering Trees Collection , take a peek at the DuPage River and then wind your way around to Lake Marmo. Not for the faint of heart; be sure to wear your hiking boots!
- Meander down Thornhill Trail. Although you'll begin your journey at Thornhill Education Center, you will quickly find yourself in a quiet woodland. See Sunfish Pond, then stay to your right and hike past the Europe Collection.
- At 1.58 miles, East Side Main Trail Loop 2 is the longest of all the Arboretum's trails. This wood-chipped trail passes through the Appalachia Collection, the Buckeye Collection and through oak woodlands, maples, beeches, and more.

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that belongs to the family of medications known as quinolones. It is used to treat infections caused by certain bacteria. It is most commonly used to treat infections of the skin, sinuses, bone, lung, abdomen, kidney, prostate, and bladder.
It can also be used to treat some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), some forms of infectious diarrhea, and typhoid fever.
The extended release form of ciprofloxacin is used to treat bladder and kidney infections.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here.

Some people may experience side effects other than those listed. Check with your doctor if you notice any symptom that worries you while you are taking this medication.
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Health Canada has issued new restrictions concerning the use of ciprofloxacin. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at www.hc-sc.gc.ca.
Allergic reactions: In rare cases, some people may develop an allergic reaction to this medication. Signs of an allergic reaction include a severe rash, swollen face, or difficulty breathing. If these occur, get immediate medical attention.
Antibiotic-related diarrhea: This medication, like other antibiotics, can cause a potentially dangerous, severe form of diarrhea called antibiotic-associated colitis or pseudomembranous colitis. Symptoms include severe, watery diarrhea that may be bloody. If you notice these symptoms, stop taking ciprofloxacin and contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Behaviour and movement changes: Rarely, this medication can cause behaviour and movement changes such as agitation, anxiety, confusion, depression, tremors, hallucinations, and other mood changes. If you experience any of the above, contact your doctor immediately.
Driving and operating heavy machinery: Ciprofloxacin may impair your ability to drive or operate machinery, especially when combined with alcohol. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
Kidney function: Kidney disease or reduced kidney function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects, since ciprofloxacin is removed from the body primarily by the kidneys. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Liver function: Ciprofloxacin may reduce liver function and can cause liver failure. If you have liver problems, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
If you experience symptoms of liver problems such as fatigue, feeling unwell, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes, dark urine, pale stools, abdominal pain or swelling, and itchy skin, contact your doctor immediately.
Neuromuscular disorders: Ciprofloxacin may cause increased muscle weakness for people with myasthenia gravis (an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness). If you have myasthenia gravis, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Other infections: Use of ciprofloxacin for a long time may lead to yeast infections.
QT prolongation: This medication can lengthen heartbeat as shown on an electrocardiogram test, also known as QT prolongation. Very rare cases of abnormal heartbeat have been reported in people while on ciprofloxacin, but these reports generally involved people who had conditions that predisposed them to abnormal heartbeat, or who have been taking other medications that can increase the risk of developing an abnormal heartbeat. If you have heart disease and abnormal heart rhythms, or are taking certain medications (e.g., verapamil, atazanavir), discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you develop heart palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat) or experience fainting spells, stop taking ciprofloxacin and contact your doctor immediately.
Seizures: Rarely, seizures have been reported with this medication. If you have a history of epilepsy or medical conditions that increase the risk of seizures, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. If you have a seizure while taking this medication, stop taking it and get immediate medical attention.
Sucrose intolerance: The oral suspension form of this medication contains sucrose. People who have a hereditary condition that makes them intolerant to some sugars should not take the oral suspension.
Sun sensitivity: People who take ciprofloxacin are more likely to experience sunburn. Avoid exposure to excessive sunlight, including sunlamps and tanning beds. If you must spend time in the sun use sunblock with minimum SPF 15. Talk to your doctor if severe sun sensitivity occurs.
Tendinitis: Ciprofloxacin may increase the chance of tendon injury, which occurs more commonly for seniors who are also taking corticosteroid medications. If there is any new pain in the tendons, stop taking ciprofloxacin, avoid physical exercise, and consult your doctor.
Pregnancy: This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, stop taking it immediately and call your doctor.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking ciprofloxacin, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of this medication have not been established for children less than 18 years of age.
There may be an interaction between ciprofloxacin and any of the following:
If you are taking any of these medications, speak with your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
Medications other than those listed above may interact with this medication. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

Yesterday's Slumgullion was a bit short due an active week of freelance work, so here are some more items about upcoming events in entertainment.
The Flamin' Groovies are often credited with being one of the pioneers of power pop, and their frontman Chris Wilson has a solo effort due out on January 14th. It's Flamin' Groovy! will also feature Flamin' Groovies band members Cyril Jordan and George Alexander.
As the year winds down I would be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out to EXPO '76 for their consistently clever Facebook announcements of upcoming gigs in the Chicago area. This fun and impressively eclectic covers band has a performance coming up with The Total Pro Horns next Thursday, December 19th at FitzGerald's nightclub in Berwyn. Here's what EXPO '76 posted: "We are returning to FitzGerald's Nightclub for one last fling around the dance floor with 2013, before we emotionlessly trade her in for a new fresh trophy year called 2014." They're pretty funny onstage, too.
The fun and consistently melodic band The Steak House Mints also have a gig coming up this Thursday. They'll be at Martyrs' playing selections from this year's Love Songs For Prostitutes album. Leslie Hunt and Temple Schultz will be opening that night.
Over at Uncommon Ground's Clark Street location on that same Thursday night, Gerry O'Keefe, Paul Coady, Scott Niekelski and Patrick Potts will take part in a Songwriters Circle.
Martin Van Ruin, a new band founded by vocalist Derek Nelson, just posted a video on YouTube of its live performance of two songs at Thalia Hall in Chicago's Pilsen neighborhood while the venue was still under construction. The brief "Give Me Flowers" is stark and compelling while "Someone Tried To Warn Me" finds Martin Van Ruin trying a more energetic approach. Both songs feature well-crafted vocals from Nelson and fellow vocalist Sarah Jane Goldstein The band has a release party coming up at Lincoln Hall on December 20th for its debut, Every Man A King.
Fort Frances will be previewing some new songs when they open for The Lone Bellow at the Athenaeum Theater in Chicago on Friday, January 17th. The gig is part of the Tomorrow Never Knows Festival.
The Americana coed trio Rivals Of The Peacemaker will be part of a roots rock showcase at Martyrs' on December 28th. The band Falldown, which includes former members of The Hue,The Redwalls and Safe Haven, and the duo Elisa Grace and Adam Levy, are also on the bill.
WXRT will finish off 2013 with its Rock 'N Roll Ball at the International Continental Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont on New Year's Eve. Cracker and JC Brooks And The Uptown Sound are the headliners, with Modern Day Romeos and Rod Tuffcurls And The Bench Press also on the bill.
Musician Jeff Charreaux of the band Ultraviolet Eye will be part of a rally at the corner of Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood, CA tonight to protest an effort by the city of Los Angeles to ban anyone from feeding homeless people in public places. Charreaux and others fear the ban will adversely affect the efforts of charities to bring food to those who desperately need it.

Steps to becoming self supporting for succeeding with Linux
1. Decide that it's worth it.
2. Lower the stakes.
3. Know your package manager.
4. Master permissions
5. Get a sense of your amazing Desktop choices.
6. The Command Line is part of the Desktop
7. Know where to get information.
8. Whatever works is the right way, but there's always a better way.
9. Be the community.
10. Have a lot of fun.
Some people who know me from this forum probably know that for years, it has been my dream to write the PERFECT newbie manual for Linux. Of course, there's no such thing as perfect, but as someone who came to Linux with a background in writing and virtually NO background in computing, I feel that I can supply a needed perspective to the existing literature. Such a manual would be more about the process of learning linux and less about supplying actual information. It would have to be, as there are vast landscapes of knowledge that I do not possess. I know almost nothing about networking, but I have a lot of experience on how to get Linux working with an uncooperative DSL provider who happens to be in bed with Microsoft. For a non-programming Desktop user, that may be the more important information.
Anyway, I'm finally getting ready to make a start. Let me summarize the basic ideas that I'm kicking around. Perhaps they will be helpful to someone. Perhaps I can get some help. That's what it's all about.
No matter what anyone tells you, for many people, it is easier to fail with Linux than to succeed with it. I know perhaps a half-dozen people who have tried Linux and have given up. For the so-called "everyday user", there are lots of difficulties, and nearly all of them are about SUPPORT.
Let's face it, we're all living on Planet Microsoft. Everything most people know about what an operating system is or should be they learned from Microsoft. Now, let me make one thing perfectly clear. Linux fanboys are supposed to hate Microsoft. I used to hate them myself, but when I stopped needing to use their software, that became illogical. I may have some critical things to say, but the bottom line is that they've made a huge contribution toward making the world a better place by lowering the bar of computer literacy to include the masses, and for that they deserve to make a lot of money.
No one has the right to control all information technology forever, and there was a time when Microsoft might have accomplished this. But that's all over now. It's never going to happen. As far as I'm concerned, the so-called OS wars were about living in a world where there is a choice, and we do. The War is over, and I believe that Microsoft is adjusting to this reality. As long as they behave competitively, and not anti-competitively, I welcome them and I hope and believe that, in the end they're going to be financially successful. .
Support is why Linux is difficult, and support is bigger than most people realize. Support has to do with the whole culture around us. Support is all the software that you're used to using, all the software your employer uses, and all the knowledge about computing in the world around you. When I learned how to use Windows, I could draw on the knowledge of people all around me: friends, family members, and co-workers. When I learned how to use Linux, I had to turn to the internet, and to try reading about it in a book, usually a big fat book that was written by a programmer. I'd rather pour Drano into my eyes. No one at any computer shop in my area knew anything about Linux, so there was no help there.
Support is hardware support. The Linux community has had to support itself with it's own drivers, and that's usually an advantage. I honestly can't recall having a problem with getting any PC Hardware running with Linux, but it took a long time for me to get used to the fact that Linux is almost never mentioned in the operating system "requirements" on the box, and that made investing in the contents of the box feel pretty dicey.
Support is support from services. As I've mentioned before, my DSL provider, a major American corporation whose name rhymes with "Shmerizon", was absolutely uncooperative and unhelpful and sometimes a little bit rude (but I got Linux running on my Shmerizon DSL connection anyway!)
Oh, and let's not forget the issue of installation. Most people don't have to install their Windows systems. I can remember a time when the idea of installing an operating system, seemingly taking the life of my system into my own hands, was as daunting as skydiving or scuba diving. Pre-installed Linux exists, but you're not going to find it at Best Buy.
Let's not make excuses. None of these problems are the fault of the GNU/Linux technology. If Linux were as ubiquitous as Windows, these problems would go away, but reality is reality, and so it doesn't matter whose fault it it is. The problems are there, they are real and they must be solved, and sometimes they may even have to be tolerated.
There are two ways to succeed with Linux.
1. Get supported. Linux geeks will always tell you about their non-geek wives, parents and grandparents who can use Linux out of the box with no problem, and I'm pretty sure that what is happening here is that the geek is providing the support. Marry a Linux Geek, and the atmospheric conditions of a planet where Linux is as common as Windows are automatically replicated.
You may not want to go that far. (Or you may be a heterosexual male. Female Linux geeks are pretty rare, somewhere between honest politicians and unicorns.) There's probably a lot of good professional support for Linux out there that I don't know about. Ask around the shops.
2. Become self-supporting.
Linux Haters (they have a website) have a saying: "Linux is only free if your time is worth nothing." Well, that's not the way I would phrase that, but it's absolutely true. Embracing the GNU/Linux lifestyle requires an investment of time that must be paid up front. The good news is that once the price is paid, it's paid... and then, it pays you back. My Linux education took up extra time for about eighteenth months, and has been saving me time, and a whole lot of money, for about six and a half years... and counting!
Also, it turned out to be a whole lot of fun. Linux Haters also like to talk about how Linux is for a special kind of person, someone who enjoys computing for its own sake, while a normal person takes no particular joy in computing and simply "uses a computer as a tool." Well, there's a certain truth to that, too. I've been a Windows user, and a Linux user, and Linux users do tend to enjoy computing a lot more than Windows users. Draw your own conclusions.
I have become self-supporting, which usually means that I have learned how to take advantage of all the support that is out there (and all the support that is "in there", hidden inside my computer). Eighteen months is longer than it should have taken me, and this article is all about cutting down that time. The person that I am writing this to is me eight years ago.
Steps to becoming self supporting for succeeding with Linux
1. Decide that it's worth it.
2. Lower the stakes.
3. Know your package manager.
4. Master permissions
5. Get a sense of your amazing Desktop choices.
6. The Command Line is part of the Desktop
7. Know where to get information.
8. Whatever works is the right way, but there's always a better way.
9. Be the community.
10. Have a lot of fun.

Usain Bolt has hit out at people who make claims about the use of performance-enhancing drugs in athletics, and has "lost all respect" for former Olympic champion Carl Lewis.
On the day Bolt created history by winning the 200 metres to complete the sprint double for the second Games in succession, Victor Conte – the convicted owner of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) that supplied drugs to the likes of Dwain Chambers and Marion Jones – had claimed it was easy for cheats to prosper at London 2012 and that 60% of athletes are using drugs.
And while Bolt reacted angrily to Conte's claims when they were put directly to him, it was unclear exactly what sparked the Jamaican's diatribe against Lewis.
Is Usain Bolt really the most talented athlete of all time?
Lewis has previously questioned the stringency of Jamaica's drug-testing programme, but such comments were initially made in September 2008 – shortly after Bolt won three gold medals and set three world records at the Beijing Olympics.
"It is really annoying when people on the sideline talk stupid stuff," Bolt said in the mixed zone when asked about Conte's claims. "I think a lot of these guys who sit and talk, especially Lewis, no-one really remembers who he is, so he is just looking for attention. That is my opinion.
"It is really annoying to know that people are trying to taint the sport. The sport has been going forward. For someone to say that without any proof is really annoying. We work hard. We push ourselves to the limits."
Later, speaking at the official press conference for 200m medallists, Bolt added: "I am going to say something controversial right now; Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him. The things he says about the track athletes is really downgrading, for another athlete to be saying something like that about other athletes.
"I think he's just looking for attention really because nobody really talks much about him so he's just looking for attention. So that was really sad for me when I heard the other day what he was saying.
"For me it was upsetting. I have lost all respect for him. It was all about drugs, talking about drugs, a lot of drug stuff. For an athlete out of the sport to be saying that is really upsetting for me. That was really upsetting for him just to jump up and say something like that. As far as I'm concerned he's looking for attention – that's all."
Asked separately if he could assure people that Jamaican athletes were drug-free, Bolt added: "Without a doubt. We train hard, especially my team-mates. We see each other work every day.
"We work hard, we get injuries, we have to take ice baths, we lay on the track, so I see the work we put in to be the best that we are. When people doubt us it's really hard, but we're trying our best to show the world that we are running clean."

SUNNYVALE, Calif. and NEW ORLEANS, La.- The Super Bowl is consistently the most-watched event of the year. The ability of the NFL to collect, access, protect, and share all the data generated at the game will play a pivotal role in event operations for Super Bowl XLVII. While millions around the world follow the action on the field, the NFL will work behind the scenes with NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP)-the official data storage provider of the NFL and Super Bowl XLVII-to provide continuous availability of critical game-day data.
Share this infographic: NetApp data storage is part of the main nerve center for NFL Operations at Super Bowl XLVII. https://www.slideshare.net/NetApp/netapps-datastorage-play-at-super-bowl-xlvii-16164941. #NetAppNFL.
"We are excited to team with NetApp to enhance our technology platform at the Super Bowl and beyond to help deliver the best experience for our fans, our broadcast partners, and the media," said Michelle McKenna, NFL senior vice president and chief information officer. "As we look to work with companies that are leaders in technology, we are pleased to integrate NetApp® products and solutions across the League."
Super Bowl XLVII kicks off a multiyear relationship between NetApp and the NFL, making NetApp the Official Data Storage Provider of the NFL, the Super Bowl, and all 32 NFL teams. The NFL will use the NetApp FAS2220 and FAS2240 storage systems to enable its support of the league-wide mission-critical activities.
"Our relationship with the NFL demonstrates the importance of data storage to key brands that can ill afford to take risks with their mission-critical operations," said Amy Love, vice president of Brand and Communications at NetApp. "The NFL has to manage challenges similar to those of many enterprise businesses-reliability, data protection, agility, and efficiency. NetApp brings capabilities to the NFL that will help accelerate its business operations and drive success, because we do it every day for our customers."
Data Availability Speeds Up Operations on Game Day
The NFL will extend a significant part of its day-to-day IT operations to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the city of New Orleans ahead of the game on February 3, 2013. Preparation of the host city typically takes 30 days of execution as the NFL IT team creates multiple data center sites. For the first time in Super Bowl history, NFL IT will build a shared data storage infrastructure to improve the agility and reliability of its game-day data.
The NetApp FAS2220 will be the foundation of the NFL's shared data storage infrastructure and all three of its data center locations in New Orleans:
- NFL Headquarters Hotel. The NetApp SnapMirror® solution will be part of the NFL's Super Bowl XLVII main data center, located at the NFL headquarters hotel. The NFL IT team will use the NetApp SnapMirror solution to replicate data between its temporary data centers in New Orleans and its central data center in New York City. This will not only enable instant access to critical game-day data, but also help protect the data and give the NFL IT team the ability to recover it quickly as needed.
- Super Bowl XLVII Media Center. NetApp storage will be critical in enabling the global communications activities for the Super Bowl. The NFL will establish another data center at the Super Bowl XLVII Media Center, housed at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The NFL Communications department will provide game statistics, player information, and various multimedia assets to the global media outlets covering the event. One key service the NFL IT team will provide is secure access to photographs and images of the event, improving efficiency for NFL photographers at Super Bowl XLVII, who used to have to save files on individual PCs and then manually upload them onto the servers.
- Broadcast Compound. NetApp storage set up at the NFL Broadcast Compound will also help improve data distribution to broadcast partners on Super Bowl Sunday. The NFL Broadcast Compound houses camera crews, their technical equipment, and satellite uplinks, including for NFL.com and NFL Network. In the past, NFL IT would go through the extra step of compressing the raw data sent to the compound before it was delivered to its New York and LA offices during the game, a manual task with multiple pieces of equipment. Now, with the capacity and built-in compression capabilities of NetApp storage, the NFL IT team can make the raw data available to its media properties inside the stadium instantly, speeding up the workflow on game day.
To learn more about how NetApp's agile and reliable storage technologies have secured a position at The Big Game, read Jon Kelly's blog.

Susan Campbell: Come set aside politics for a while and just sing it out
In the midst of a bruising election season, a group named the Interfaith Amigos came to Hartford's historic Asylum Hill Congregational Church, where Mark Twain once warmed a pew.
The Amigos are Christian, Jewish, and Muslim clergy from Seattle, and on their Hartford visit, they talked about wading through tough conversations that come from post-9/11 interfaith dialogues. This was 2010, and the political rhetoric got pretty serious, and ended with the Republicans taking back their country to...well, I'm not sure where, but I think it was 1956.
Oh, stop. I'm only kidding. We thought that election was bad because we hadn't yet experienced 2012, when we hit new lows by digging holes and climbing into them.
The Amigos' talk was a little bit inspiring, and then at the end, Don Mackenzie, the Protestant pastor of the bunch, pulled out his guitar and led the crowd in singing "Goodnight, Irene." I didn't even know I knew that song, but I sang along with everyone else and thought what a sweet end to the evening that was.
And then the wheels started turning. What if we had a community sing-along, and invited everybody? And what if we had them bring cookies to share at the end? I remember church dinners, when we fundamentalists would put off our arguing for a moment to tromp down to the basement and sample the potato salad. I mentioned my idea to Rabbi Donna Berman, executive director of Hartford's Charter Oak Cultural Center, and though it was her busiest time of year, she said yes. Steven Mitchell, minister of music and arts at Asylum Hill, offered to lead singing. I bought excellent cider from Lyman Orchard, and we were off and running.
Reader, we filled the place.
This year's been bruising, too. Maybe the economic recovery hasn't reached your neck of the woods. Maybe your candidate lost and you're still licking your wounds. Maybe you'd like a hug - or, barring that, maybe you'd like to come sit with people who aren't going to talk politics, and aren't going to gloat, but are going to sing.
I know what you're thinking: It's the holiday season, and who has time for this sort of thing. But I suggest that the holiday season can leave you with a different kind of bruising, and it's always good to take a break.
Or maybe you're thinking that you won't know any one. That may be true. You may walk into Charter Oak Cultural Center and not know a soul, but I guarantee you'll leave with new friends.
Or perhaps you're too cool to go to a sing-along. Me, too. I have dedicated my life to being cool and so every year, this is a leap for me. Or you're worried you don't sing well. If so, then come sit by me. In fact, Mitchell, who will lead singing with Laura Deutsch, of West Hartford's Congregation Beth Israel this year, once complimented me on my tenor voice, which was funny because I thought I sang alto. Who knew? There will be ample space for you, regardless of your singing ability - but you should know that last year, some opera singers showed up and they added a great deal.
I hope you'll consider coming. I know it's a haul for some of you and I know it's a busy time, but admission is just a baked goodie you can share. There's parking all around the center at 21 Charter Oak Ave. in Hartford. Maybe you owe it to yourself to wander over at 7 p.m. on Thursday, open up your mouth, and sing your fool head off. Hope to see you there.

Biden: Gun curbs can't ensure end to mass killings
Curbing guns can't ensure an end to mass slayings like December's killings of 20 first-graders in Newtown, Conn., but it will reduce firearm deaths, Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday.
Biden said lawmakers can take steps "that have virtually zero impact on your Second Amendment right to own a weapon for both self-defense and recreation but can save some lives." Doing that, he said, "seems to be a no-brainer."
Biden spoke to reporters after meeting privately with Senate Democrats to urge them to back President Barack Obama's proposals to restrict gun violence. Obama's plan includes bans on assault weapons and on high-capacity magazines for ammunition and requiring all gun buyers to undergo background checks.
"I'm not saying there's an absolute consensus on all these things," he said. Citing the wide-spread horror over the Newtown shootings, he said, "But there is a sea change. A sea change in the attitudes of the American people," who he said "will not understand if we don't act."
The Senate Judiciary Committee held Congress' first 2013 hearing on gun control on Wednesday as lawmakers begin focusing on what restrictions they will try enacting this year. Already, it has become clear that parts of Obama's plan will face difficulties, especially barring assault weapons and ammunition magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Asked earlier Thursday about the prospects for passage of various parts of Obama's plans, No. 2 Senate Democratic leader Richard Durbin of Illinois cited strong support for broadening the requirement for background checks and doing more to prevent mentally unstable people from obtaining guns. He said the assault weapons ban, which he supports, "is probably the toughest part of this conversation."
Besides opposition from many Republicans, the proposals have prompted hesitancy from some Democrats seeking re-election next year in Republican-leaning states.
"I'm a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and I want to see a balanced approach," said Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who faces re-election in 2014. "And I'll take each amendment and bill as it comes."
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, predicted that the Republican-run House would never pass an assault weapons ban, no matter what the Democratic-led Senate does.
"Most of us Republicans believe these gun-control approaches don't work, and yet they diminish liberty," he said.
Obama's plan was based on suggestions developed by a task force on gun violence headed by Biden.

Toronto, ON – The Canadian Hockey League today announced that Darcy Kuemper of the Red Deer Rebels is the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the week ending October 10. Kuemper posted a 4-0-0-0 record earning two shutout victories with a goals-against-average of 0.850 and save percentage of .967.
Kuemper and the Rebels began a four-game road trip last Tuesday night with a 6-0 win over the Swift Current Broncos. Kuemper made 20 saves and was named the game's third star recording his first of two shutouts on the week. On Wednesday night in Regina, Kuemper entered the game midway through the second period trailing 4-2 to the Pats and would allow just one goal making 14 saves as the Rebels stormed back to grab a 6-5 overtime win. On Friday night he would earn first star honours with 29 saves in a 4-2 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings, before finishing the week Saturday with his second shutout as first star making 25 saves to blank the Moose Jaw Warriors 3-0.
Kuemper, a 20-year-old from Saskatoon, SK, is playing in his third full WHL season with the Rebels. Selected in the sixth round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Minnesota Wild, his 7-2-0-0 record this season has earned the Rebels 14 points where they stand first in the WHL's Eastern Conference.
/olivier_roy" id="HFlink" class="HFlinkstyle">Olivier Roy of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan earned two wins including one shutout this week while posting a goals-against-average of 0.960 and save percentage of .968. Brandon Foote of the Guelph Storm was also considered after winning one of his two starts but posted a goals-against-average of 0.970 with a savepercentage of .975.
2010-11 Vaughn CHL Goaltenders of the Week:
Oct. 4 – Oct. 10: Darcy Kuemper, Red Deer Rebels
Sept. 27 – Oct. 3: Scott Stajcer, Owen Sound Attack
Sept. 23 – Sept. 26: Louis Domingue, Quebec Remparts

Sure, So a Kid May Cost $245,340 to Raise, But Don't Panic
The U.S. Department of Agriculture just released a study showing that the average middle income family will spend $245,340 to raise their child to the age of 18 — even before paying for college tuition.
A cool quarter million to raise a child sounds like a horrifying amount of money. Who has that sort of money lying around? The median family income in the U.S. was only $51,017 in 2012, according to the Census Bureau.
But a closer look at the numbers behind the USDA's report shows less cause for concern than the blaring headline might suggest.

Life is all about
making choices. Americans want clean air, but we also need affordable
and reliable electricity to power the economy and make our lives more
Technology has made
it possible to clean up the air. At the same time, Americans are using
more and more electricity to power the many electrical devices that
are the signature of the new millennium.
Most Americans aren't
aware that air quality has been steadily improving for the last 20
years. Drive by any power plant owned by Missouri's electric
cooperatives today and you will be hard-pressed to determine whether the
plant is operating or not.
That's because
millions of dollars invested in pollution-control equipment is paying
off, clearing the air while still giving electric cooperative members
the benefits of affordable electricity.
Associated Electric
Cooperative, Inc. (AECI) is a cooperative formed to generate electricity
for Missouri co-op members. As a cooperative, AECI has the option of
returning any margins it makes to the membership or reinvesting those
margins back into the cooperative.
Over the years the
AECI board has made the tough decision to set aside funds in a special
account to be used for meeting environmental challenges. In 2004, $62.4
million was transferred to this fund.
From 1994 to 2004
AECI spent $300 million to meet its environmental responsibilities.
Because of this investment, 90 percent of the sulfur dioxide and 80
percent of the nitrogen oxide emissions from its coal-fired power plants
were cut.
Jim Jura, CEO at
AECI, says this fund is one factor that allows AECI to enjoy one of
the strongest financial positions in the industry, with a AA rating
from the investment community.
This financial strength,
in turn, has led to low, stable and predictable rates. In fact, wholesale
rates charged to electric cooperatives have changed little in the past
20 years.
As AECI prepares
to build a new power plant, engineers are working on a design that
will make it one of the cleanest power plants in the nation.
our ability to keep rates low while cleaning up the air has been
remarkable, everyone in the industry expects any future improvements
in air quality to be much more difficult to achieve and increasingly
For example, technology
needed to remove small amounts of mercury released by power plants
does not exist. In our discussions with legislators about environmental
issues, we've asked them
to do two things:
• Let science,
not emotion, determine policy.
• Go slow on
new regulations so technology can catch up.
Missouri's electric
cooperatives remain committed to keeping the air clean while also keeping
your rates as low as possible. Thanks to today's clean-coal
technology, we no longer have to choose between dirty
air and affordable energy.
Hart is executive
vice president of the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.

Nintendo DS Preorders May Reveal Price and Launch Date
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Video Games
Wal-Mart, Gamestop, EB Games and other retail sites currently have the Nintendo DS for sale on their respective websites via preorder. While this is nothing out of the ordinary, many are wondering if the launch date and price furnished at these sites are legitimate, especially since Nintendo has yet to make an official announcement on either. All sites have the DS listed as being available on November 30, 2004 (my birthday, send a DS) at a price of $199.99 (or if you're Wal-Mart, $199.82!). This is not the first time retailers have listed pricing and launch dates before the manufacturer, and it isn't always spot on. My sources are telling me that the date is a safe one. I believe the Nintendo DS will be availble in retail stores before Thanksgiving - and for $50 less.

Mia Farrow's son Ronan and Frank Sinatra sure look alike, but Sinatra's widow, Barbara, still isn't buying the actress' claim that Ronan may be the son of the legendary singer.
"It sounds like a phony to me," Barbara Sinatra told The Desert Sun Wednesday. "I can't hardly believe that. It's just a bunch of junk. There's always junk written — lies that aren't true."
Mia Farrow: Son's father is "possibly" Frank Sinatra — not Woody Allen
Barbara's denial comes shortly after Farrow revealed to Vanity Fair that her 25-year-old son may not have been fathered by Farrow's longtime partner Woody Allen, but by her ex-husband Sinatra. Farrow and Sinatra were married from 1966-1968, but she told Vanity Fair "we never really split up."
Understandably, Sinatra's widow would beg to differ, at least on that last part. Barbara was Frank's fourth wife and the two were married for 22 years before the classic crooner died in 1998. He would have been 78 when Ronan was conceived. A DNA test has never been performed.
Barbara's stepdaughter, and Frank's daughter, Nancy Sinatra Jr., did not seem to directly deny the allegations about Ronan, saying, "He is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives." Ronan himself made light of the revelation on Wednesday when he quipped on Twitter: "Listen, we're all *possibly* Frank Sinatra's son."
Allen and Farrow were together from 1980 until 1992. Allen notoriously went on to marry one of Farrow's adopted daughters, Soon-Yi, in 1997.

Pretty warm out in the late morning. Headed out for an easy paced nine miler. Pretty uneventful all and all. Kept it chilled out since I'm saving the legs for tomorrow's Bradbury Squall snowshoe race. Looking forward to it.
Goals for tomorrow...not sure. Because of the conditions the course is different than last year, so a goal of beating last year's time isn't really prudent.
So that leaves looking at placings. Depending on who shows up could also be variable. That also leaves looking at specific targets, but I honestly don't have anyone in mind I'd like to chase down, other than the guy in front of me, so that's what I'll do.
I'm revealing my cards here, but I run best when I set out reasonably fast but also set myself up so I have enough gas to pick people off, particularly in the last quarter to a half of a race. Hopefully that'll unfold tomorrow.
Ran 9.2 miles @ 8:03/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Moderately hilly.
Mid to upper 30s, partly sunny.
Saucony Kinvara 3, long tights, windbreaker, short sleeved shirt, beanie, gloves.

Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures in the UK. The surgeon replaces a painful arthritic hip with an artificial joint.
A hip replacement is recommended for patients whose hips have become so painful through damage that the pain interferes with everyday living, such as walking, driving and getting dressed. Some common reasons why a hip might become damaged include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and following previous injury to and around the hip bone.
The operation can be carried out under general or spinal anaesthetic. Your surgeon will make an incision on the side of your hip, remove the damaged hip joint and replace it with an artificial joint.
The procedure usually takes between one and one-and-a-half hours.
We practice the Enhanced Recovery Pathway (ERP), which is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps people recover more quickly after having major surgery. Our physiotherapists begin working closely with patients within hours of joint replacement surgery, getting them up on their feet and growing their confidence. The length of stay at our hospital can be significantly shorter as a result or ERP. Early mobilisation and a return home reduces the risk of deep vein thrombosis and infections, as well as making patients feel more comfortable. With this support you will be mobile enough to go home two to three days after your operation. You will be given exercises and instructions on how to use mobility aids such as crutches and sticks. For the first four to six weeks you will need crutches or sticks to get around and you will need to do your exercises to ensure your new hip joint gives you the best results. Most people are back to normal within two to three months, but it can take up to a year before you fully benefit from your new hip. It is up to individuals to do the exercises to make sure that the hip gets strong and has a full range of movement.
A new hip joint can relieve pain, improve function, increase mobility and contribute to a better quality of life.
All surgical procedures have risks, but the chances of serious complications following hip replacements are very low – less than one per cent. Complications can include dislocation, infection, injury to the blood vessels or nerves, a fracture or a difference in leg length. General complications also include deep vein thrombosis for which steps during and after surgery are taken to decrease this risk.
A modern artificial hip is designed to last for at least 15 years on average. However, occasionally, the new joint can wear out or go wrong within that period. If this happens then further surgery is required, and this is called revision surgery. It is estimated that around one in 10 of those with an artificial hip will need a revision within 10 years of their surgery.
An injection in the hip may help improve symptoms for a period of time delaying the need for hip replacement surgery.
A pre-operative assessment is our opportunity to ensure that the procedure for which you have been referred is right for you. We'll explain your treatment to you and make sure that you are well enough to go ahead with it. It is also your opportunity to meet the team who will care for you and to ask any questions.
We carry out all the necessary tests and examinations in one outpatient session. While this may take several hours, everything is done in one go to save frequent visits before surgery.
Where knee replacement surgery is not available on the NHS, or where the number of NHS procedures available has been reduced and has resulted in a longer waiting time, you can choose to pay for your treatment yourself via our self pay option. You may also want to explore privately funding your treatment for other reasons which are personal to your circumstances.
Self pay is available if you find you are not eligible for NHS-funded care and do not have private medical insurance.
You will need an open referral letter from your GP (we can help you with this). Your initial consultation with us is free of charge and our pricing structure is transparent. Because we don't include all of the costly extras you may associate with private hospital treatment, paying for yourself could cost you considerably less than you might imagine too. There are also financing options available, to help you spread the cost.
We continue to support NHS England during the Coronavirus crisis by providing the additional capacity it needs to treat non COVID-19 patients, but are now planning a gradual return to treating our own elective patients.

Easy Does It
This story appears in the March 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
For those who'd rather teach quantum physics to a monkey than figure out how to work a PC, there may be hope. Within the next few months, Hewlett-Packard plans to launch a line of "PC appliances" expected to rival the banana in the ease-of-operation department.
"This new category of computing devices removes complexity from the interface and [allows] corporate users to focus on the task at hand, rather than the tool," says Roger Kay, a research manager at technology market research firm IDC. Essentially, instead of trying to be all things to all people, the new PC appliances are designed to perform one function exceedingly well.
High up on this "digital appliances for dummies" hit parade: an e-PC appliance enabling users to instantly access any computing application--no muss, no fuss. The transition from an offline task to Internet surfing will be seamless, HP says. And users should also expect a secure transaction experience--no matter where they venture on the Web. HP insists conventional PCs will seem like behemoths compared to the diminutive, sleekly styled e-PCs. And the era of system crashes, frozen windows and those rude error messages? A distant memory.
Of course, such improvements don't mean these PC appliances will leave Gates behind. HP has chosen Windows as the e-PC operating system.
According to Eric Cador, general manager of HP's business-desktop division, "Our e-PC initiative bridges the gap between today's computing needs and the approaching services era." Now if only they would get cracking on that "Where does the universe end?" question.

As an April Fools' Day prank, the curators of the British Library's Medieval and Earlier Manuscripts Blog wrote up an entirely straight-faced account of a "spine-tingling" discovery — a cookbook that details the proper way to prepare unicorn. This history-changing find is tinged with staid hyperbole of the highest order and some lovely artwork. Explains the British Library of this document:
Experts believe that the cookbook was compiled by Geoffrey Fule, who worked in the kitchens of Philippa of Hainault, Queen of England (1328-1369). Geoffrey had a reputation for blending unusual flavours – one scholar has called him "the Heston Blumenthal of his day" – and everything points to his hand being behind the compilation.
After recipes for herring, tripe and codswallop (fish stew, a popular dish in the Middle Ages) comes that beginning "Taketh one unicorne". The recipe calls for the beast to be marinaded in cloves and garlic, and then roasted on a griddle. The cookbook's compiler, doubtless Geoffrey Fule himself, added pictures in its margins, depicting the unicorn being prepared and then served. Sarah J Biggs, a British Library expert on medieval decoration, commented that "the images are extraordinary, almost exactly as we'd expect them to be, if not better"
The report even ends with the requisite academic bon mot ("Unfortunately, they don't stock unicorn in my local branch of Tesco," notes Professor Brian Trump of the British Medieval Cookbook Project). You can read it here, and behold some more examples of this year's April 1 shenanigans.

Netflix is loved again. Stock surges 11%.October 3, 2012: 4:15 PM ET
Investors have fallen in love with Netflix (NFLX) again. The online streaming (don't call us a DVD by mail rental service!) giant's shares surged nearly 11% Tuesday after Citigroup analyst Mark Mahaney issued a positive report on the company. Mahaney cited a survey his firm did that showed improving customer satisfaction with Netflix's service.
Is it really possible that Netflix has recovered from the PR nightmare surrounding last year's huge price hike and its failed attempt to rebrand the DVD unit as Qwikster? It appears that way.
This bit of good news for Netflix comes just two days after shares popped after hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson reiterated that he likes the stock.
He even went so far to say that Netflix, which some investors feel is spending too much on content deals and international expansion, could rebound much like Amazon (AMZN) has done in the past few years. Amazon was widely criticized for investing heavily on new products and services but the strategy has yielded big rewards for investors. Shares now trade near an all-time high.
Some users on StockTwits are enthusiastic about the recent signs of life.
OMillionaires: $NFLX Citi views the current valuation of Netflix shares as reasonable and reiterates a Buy rating on the name with a $120 price target.
Not sure I agree that Netflix is trading at a "reasonable" valuation. Sure, it may have been oversold. But unless earnings estimates head dramatically higher, you're looking at a stock that is trading at more than 60 times consensus 2013 forecasts.
The only way to justify the current price on Netflix is if you believe the most bullish projection. One analyst thinks Netflix will earn $3.56 a share next year. So Netflix is only trading at 17 times that forecast. However, the range of estimates for this stock is extremely wide. The most bearish analyst is predicting a 5 cent per share loss in 2013.
Jamtrades: $NFLX is alive again. This one crazy stock.
Crazy is an understatement. Even with today's big move, shares are still down more than 11% year-to-date. But at one point this year, Netflix was up more than 90%!
And there are still many traders on StockTwits who do not believe the comeback for Netflix is for real.
TMTanalyst: i think $NFLX is def bumping up against ceiling, especially when churn is taken into account, $SIRI probably more room
Many analysts and investors are worried about churn, the level of customers that are leaving Netflix. As for Sirius XM (SIRI), the satellite radio company does face some similar challenges, i.e. convincing people to pay monthly subscriptions for a service that can often be found free elsewhere. But it could have more potential if for no other reason than the fact that Sirius might get acquired by investor Liberty Media (LMCA).
Netflix might have some takeover appeal. Tilson made that case Monday. But so far, it still seems unclear if any big media firm would want to own Netflix since it would put them at odds with all their other rivals when it comes to doing future content deals.
BryanMortenson: If you ignore all biz. ops producing a loss, all off bal. sheet debt, and all rising content costs, $NFLX ain't half bad...
PostNineSix: $NFLX sheeple at it again. Whitney says buy all flock in. Shorting opportunity in the making. Bottom line $NFLX owns 0 content. $SPY $QQQ
Is Netflix a good stock to short right now? Perhaps. The fundamentals still don't look fantastic. But the moves in this company's shares are so volatile, I think the best thing for any investor that isn't willing to tolerate big risks to do is just stay out of the way and watch. The rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall of Netflix is good theater. But it's also an easy way to get burned if you don't time your moves right.
Finally, a quick shout-out to Twitter follower Nathan Gilson. I was tweeting earlier today about strange stock moves in the new shares of Kraft (KRFT) following Kraft's split into two companies. The other has a name that actually makes Qwikster sound good: Mondelez (MDLZ). But I digress. I tweeted the following song lyric and asked my readers to name the tune. "Get crazy with the cheez whiz!"
Nathan was first to correctly ID it as Beck's slacker anthem "Loser." So congratulations! You are not a loser (or un perdedor), baby. Now it's time for me to go back to choking on the splinters.

Gun show goes on in Stamford
STAMFORD -- While other area gun shows have been canceled following the shooting rampage that killed 20 first-graders and six teachers and administrators in Newtown last month, a gun show in Stamford is to go on as planned this weekend.
Promoter Westchester Collectors Inc., of Mahopac Falls, N.Y., is to hold one of the few gun shows that has not been canceled at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Summer Street on Saturday and Sunday.
Given the timing of the show and the city's proximity to Newtown -- about 30 miles -- Stamford Mayor Michael Pavia said "it would make more sense and be more sensitive to cancel" the event.
"I think the timing of it and the subject matter are totally insensitive given what happened in Newtown," Pavia said.
Calling them weapons of mass destruction, Pavia, a Republican, said assault rifles should be banned.
"The Second Amendment wouldn't have been written if these weapons existed at the time," he said.
A manager at the hotel said there have not been any calls about this weekend's show.
Similar shows promoted by Westchester Collectors have been canceled for next week in Waterbury and next month in White Plains, where Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said the show was not welcome back at the county-run exposition hall.
Calls to Westchester Collectors were not returned on Thursday.
Another New York-based promoter, Big Al's Gun Shows, has also been forced to cancel several shows, including one scheduled in Danbury this weekend.
The East Coast Fine Arms Show is advertised as the "best of the best" of vendors offering 250 tables of "antique, modern, collectible and historical arms and accessories." The promoter's website informs dealers that "all federal, state and local laws and regulations will be followed!!!"
Among the regulations are background checks on all gun sales, according to the website.
Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin said he has worked with the show's organizer for the past eight years, adding that they have always adhered to local laws and procedures.
"We will be carefully monitoring the show for both days and make sure they are complying with all the laws and regulations as they have in the past," he said.
Conklin said most people attending the show are collectors and traders and have pistol permits allowing them to buy guns at the show without a background check. He said many of the items at the show such as percussion weapons and guns and swords from the Revolutionary and Civil wars are extremely valuable collectibles worth more than $100,000.
Stamford Police Chief Jon Fontneau said he has been signing numerous gun permits lately and called the timing of this weekend's show "unfortunate.
"I don't have any knowledge of the show, but it is unfortunate that it is occurring in Stamford so close in time to Sandy Hook," Fontneau said.
"But shows like these are not uncommon when you look across the country."

When road hogs get really, really big
I love living in rural Montana, where every census confirms out-migration. But much as I enjoy it, there are a few disadvantages, such as spotty cell phone service, access to only two free television stations, wilted produce at the grocery store, and lately, incredibly huge loads of equipment that clog our narrow, two-lane highways.
Recently, on my way to an appointment 80 miles away that I didn't want to be late for, I came close to road rage. It was probably lucky that I am not a violent person. It was 10 a.m., and I'd allowed an extra half-hour of travel time for the trip, but three miles into my journey, I was brought to a halt by the driver of a pilot car, who was out of his vehicle and standing on the centerline of the highway. Behind him, a monster truck blocked the highway from one edge of the pavement to the other.
I rolled down my window and asked the man how long I'd have to wait. He sighed and informed me that an obstinate driver refused to move off the highway to allow the mega-load to pass by.
I suggested that he inform the driver of said vehicle that someone heading west needed to get moving. He obliged, via a short walkie-talkie conversation with a counterpart leading the caravan.
After a few minutes, I observed an elderly rancher (aka the obstinate driver) attempting to back his very long livestock trailer onto a narrow track that led off the highway into a field. It was a painstaking process, but he eventually made it, and the mass of machinery ahead of me crawled on, with me bringing up the rear. I waved to the rancher. He smiled at me as I eased by the nose of his truck. I couldn't blame him for not wanting to move off the highway onto a two-track.
Of course, I expected the big rig to stop at a wide spot up the road and let me go around, but no, it continued its laborious trek as nothing less than a slow-moving roadblock. I began to seethe, but thought, well, he'll surely stop at the next turnout. By now, my half-hour cushion had shrunk to 15 minutes.
The long, not the short of it, was that an hour later I had traveled only 20 miles and was definitely going to be late. Not only that, but as a well-informed member of Montana's traveling public, I knew my rights had been squashed by the heavy-hauling transport crew. The law clearly states that holders of over-sized load permits must not delay traffic on the open highway for more than 10 minutes.
Through clenched teeth, I so informed the driver of the pilot car as I was finally allowed to squeeze by the load before it turned off my route at a highway junction. He shrugged and said, "Have a nice day, ma'am." Not likely.
The next day, I looked up the phone number of the Montana Department of Transportation, Motor Carrier Division, and called to report the incident. The first employee I talked to said he had no way of finding out who was hauling the load. I didn't believe him.
The second in the chain-of-command was slightly more helpful, and took down the details of my experience. He suggested that I write a letter to his supervisor. About a half hour later, the second employee called back to say that he had all the information he needed, and that it wasn't necessary for me to write a letter after all. I immediately fired off a letter to the supervisor, sending it certified mail.
The next day, the supervisor himself called to apologize and explained that these days, there are so many huge loads moving on Montana's highways that it is difficult to track a particular one without knowing the name of the carrier. I gave him all the details I could, and he called back the next day with the identity of the offender from Casper, Wyo.
The load was refinery equipment for oil and gas delivered to Laurel, Mont. He said he would forward my complaint to the company, and that his department would more carefully scrutinize its submitted travel plans before issuing future permits.
We all know that the booming oil-equipment transport business has strained state resources. This January, Montana's biennial Legislature will consider a request from the transportation department for more enforcement personnel to deal with the sudden stampede of over-size loads.
In the meantime, the traveling public can do little more than carry a supply of aspirin. This might help to ease the headache of trailing a road hog of gigantic proportions at a frustrating 15 miles per hour.

The Sitka office of Southeast Alaska Independent Living Inc. (SAIL) has announced its next Senior Hiking Club hike will be from 1-3:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29. Seniors should meet at the Swan Lake Senior Center for transportation to the Mosquito Cove Trail trailhead.
Normally, the group picks the trail on the day of the hike, but occasionally a trail is picked before the event. SAIL makes trekking poles available for hikers to use (trekking poles are great on ice or uneven terrain, and they help seniors keep their balance), and hikers are encouraged to bring ice cleats such as YakTrax during the icy months of winter.
SAIL offers Senior Hiking Club events for those age 60 or older once a month, usually on the second or third Thursday. There is a $5 fee, but nobody will be turned away because of finances. The hikes are open to people of all abilities and fitness levels. To learn more about the Senior Hiking Club, check out our January 2013 post introducing the club.
To learn more about the Senior Hiking Club, senior and adaptive kayaking trips, senior cycling events, and and a variety of other outdoors skills and survival classes, contact SAIL ORCA (Outdoor Recreation and Community Access) program coordinator Joel Hanson at 747-6859 or email him at email@example.com. The calendar includes hiking, orienteering, kayaking, and other events for seniors, youth, and the disabled.

Wikitude World Browser - Your Virtual Guide to Town
When I'm away on business in an other city and have a little bit of time to spare, I would love to have an app that could help me find interesting things to do and see before heading off to a meeting in a conference room. Today's app is supposed to help you spend quality time wherever you might be. Find out more about this guidebook app in our test report.
|Reviewed version
|Latest version
Features & Use
As soon as the app starts up, your GPS is turned on in order to find your current location. After a successful scan of the area, your location is displayed at the bottom of the screen. You are then presented with an overview of all the available categories to search through. Social networks are also included so that you can find a friend in your vicinity.
For the purposes of my test, I selected the Gowalla Spots category in order to be able to view a list of all the check-ins close to me. To get a better overview of all the spots around me, I opted to have the results diplsayed in a list with a short description of the spot as well as how many people have already checked in and any available photos.
Once you've selected a spot of your choosing, you can see a detailed overview and click on a link that redirects you to the Gowalla webpage where you can check yourself in. In addition, you can share your check-in via Facebook so that your friends can know where you are. You can also share your status on Facebook without having to be checked in with Gowalla.
With the integrated map features, you can view available Gowalla Spots in Google Maps and even activate satellite mode in order to really zoom in on what your looking for.
With the help of the camera feature, Gowalla Spots in your proximity are displayed directly on your screen including the estimated distance. This feature turns your phone into a 3D compass, which means that if you point your phone south, all the spots located to the south of you are shown.
There are many different "worlds" or categories to choose from. If you check the Last.fm category, you can see what shows are playing near you in local venues. This feature is great for music fans looking to hear some good tunes in a new city.
Press Route to get exact directions on how to get to navigate to your spot by car, public transit or walking. This feature worked perfectly during my test and I managed to find every location quickly and effeciently.
I would also like to mention the Flickr category where you can find snapshots that were taken in your immediate surroundings. In this "world" you can see photos taken in locations near you including the exact distance from where you currently are and the date. I found pictures of buildings that were taken just 52 meters away from where I was standing! Pretty amazing! It's a creative way to explore the area you through the lenses of other photographers.
There is an array of other interesting "worlds" that I won't name because it would take up too much space in this test report. I recommend looking through all of them and finding those that interest you most. Although some of the categories may be of little use, others can be really useful for first-time visitors to a new city. The camera mode makes things that much more fun and really help you find your way around.
Screen & Controls
The layout is relatively easy and simple with well-designed menus. Everything looks modest but effecient. The only problem I had was the fact that the Gowalla Spots were so large on the screen that they covered up the map behind them,
Speed & Stability
During my test the app performed very well and even the GPS scanning was fairly quick. I also did not experience any lags or glitches when switching between different menus.

casius's Bio
Casius, born on Sacris a modest 83 yeras ago was the son of a warrior cheftain and quikly became his father's champion, surpassing his three older brothers in every way, especially proficient in the art of mounted combat on his steed Endevour.
In the late days of autumn one year his father Daren of Garl joined battle with the forces of Erik the red on the savannahs north of Baredsberg. As was customary the forces' two champions joined in single combat with sword and sheild to decide the fate of their bretheren. With a swift charge and a deft blow Casuis cleft his opponant in twain before he could even raise his sheild in defense. The mighty warrior turned as he had so amny times before, to raise his blooded blade and salute his father.
Erik, with the sting of defeat and the impotance of such a swift loss, set upon Casius with his honour gaurd and his full force close behind. Casius fought bravely and gave no ground, despatching Erik, nine of his honour gaurd and three knights before being mortally wounded and falling limp to what he thought would be his grassy grave. His father's forces now upon their foes, quikly routed and drove of Erik's men to win the day.
Casuis' broken body was carried to the caves of the heroes so he could die in his tribes most houred place, a place of kings and mighty warriors, but the next day his body had gone, he had been carried away by the Sky Warriors to sit vigil with his ancestors in their fortress of storms high above the clouds. He would drink amber ales and eat the flesh of mighty beasts with only the finest of Sacris' warriors, a fitting end to the mightiest of warriors that many a man had seen.
His life as an Astartes of the Storm Wardens differed only slightly from its previous chapter, he still excelled in all forms of combat especially in jump assault actions, often the spearhead of the chapter's feared armoured assault, joining battle with their foes almost as the last lance strike hit home.
He was present at the defeat of Ork Warboss Kraazgrug's Waaagh on Keffik's World, not content to merely be bait for their foes, he and his sterngaurd squad returned to the killing ground to join the Warboss and his retinue in battle and did not leave till not a foe moved in the valley and the rocks were stained a thousand shades of green.
Posted to the Halo Stars, Casius saw combat with many of the Imperiums enemies, Eldar, Tyrannid, Slaugth, Necron and Ork but the one he hated the most, who's despatching gave him the most plaesure was the the multitudonous force of Chaos and the myriad forms it takes.
Maybe it is the honor of winning the day against so terrible a foe whos Demons and servents often tower over even the mightiest Astartes and feild weapons spawned from the very depths of hell. Moreso it is the sting he still feels, of the blades in his back from that day long ago on Sacris, his chance to strike back for honour against the traitor legions, for the chance to rid the feild of the betrayers of man, the Imperium and the God-Emperor
On his last mission for the Deathwatch the fates conspired to show Casius the light of truth and the path of the true warrior, ever the servant of honour and justice, the mighty brother Casius saw no choice but to act upon his revalation.
Dispatched to the forest planet Baraban, Casius and his bretheren set about their mission to secure the place from an ancient unknown threat and that of the everpresent Tau. It was however this very threat that opened the eyes of the mighty warrior to the folly of his service and the misspent years under the command of lesser men. One fateful night the Emperor of man and the mighty Primarchs came to Casius in a vision, the will of the Emperor and Casius' progenator now revealed, he steeled himself and set down a path his weakling comrades where only to feeble to follow. His mind was clear, his heart pure, knowing now the truth of times past without the twistings of the tongues and machinations of those who had come between, he became the mightiest of warriors, possessed of a singlemindedness and resolve the likes of no other.
Casius' brothers quickly saw this elevation and it galled them terribly, time and again our mighty hero's prowess instilled in his fellows the deepest envy, and trying to hold him from his duty, they became self evident as the weaklings they where. The jealousy of his comrades grew to a fury and after Casius victory in the Tau command base they set upon him, the foul witch of the traitorous Ultramarines was the only one with thick enough spine to do more than hurl words, and unlike his petty fellows, struck up the gaul to ambush the mighty Storm Warden, the fates returned the sting of betrayal upon the witch and he felt his own evil burn his flesh, The heroic astartes, without hestitation dispatched the foul abomanation for his cowardice and tretchery, and yet, he was not rewarded, the fearful wretches taking their opening turned on the warrior, like the traitors they where.
Brother Casius' end was not met on a mighty feild of battle, nor in a hallowed hall, singled out for surpassing the bonds of lies and tretchery he was taken to a cell, so no other would follow his path to truth and justice. The bonds with which his bretheren where held where tenuous at best, and his enslavers always saught to keep their pets in blinkered servitude like the cowards they were.
And so came the end of the mighty Casius, his captors not even showing their faces before the end, but hiding in the shadows of cowardice, once a foul traitor leaned in to close, and the heroic astartes, stripped and restrained through his captors fear, used his own teeth as the only weapon he could muster. Such mighty defiance was all the wrecthed heretics could suffer, and their fear overtook them so completely that they ended the static, unarmed warrior, like a helpless babe.
As the bolt tore through his grey matter, it shattered Casius' last though – at least he had served his master well………….

Breakthrough for Seoul: North Korea to shut key missile site
PYONGYANG, North Korea - Hailing the progress made in inter-Korean relations at the end of the third summit held between leaders of the two countries, that have been engaged in conflict for several decades now, South Korea made a key declaration on Wednesday.
The South Korean President Moon Jae In announced on Wednesday that his North Korean counterpart, Kim Jong Un had agreed to shut one of the country's main missile testing and launch sites.
The decision was made by the North Korean dictator at the end of his meeting with the South Korean President, who visited Pyongyang for the third summit between the two Korean leaders.
Jae In said that Kim Jong Un had signed a pledge to permanently close the Tongchang-ri facility, after talks in Pyongyang.
Adding that both the leaders had also "agreed on a way to achieve denuclearization" on the Korean peninsula.
In a statement, Kim Jong Un raised the possibility of becoming the first North Korean leader to visit South Korea and said that he hoped to "visit Seoul in the near future."
More importantly, Kim Jong Un also confirmed in his statement that the country's key engine missile testing and launch facility - the Tongchang-ri facility - would be permanently closed "in the presence of experts from relevant nations."
The summit between the two Korean leaders was focussed on the issue of denuclearization and comes at a time when talks between North Korea and the U.S. over the same issue, have hit a roadblock.
In June this year, the U.S. and North Korea agreed to work towards denuclearization in broad terms.
However, since then, negotiations have stalled since North Korea has been demanding sanctions relief and the U.S. wants to see concrete action towards denuclearization before lifting crippling economic sanctions.
However, reconfirming its commitment towards denuclearization of the Korean peninsula now, North Korea has expressed its readiness to shut down the Yongbyon nuclear facility.
North Korea is believed to have produced the material used in its nuclear tests from Yongbyon.
Meanwhile, experts also pointed out that North Korea's offer to shut down its Tongchang-ri facility in the presence of experts was they key takeaway from the summit.
While some satellite imagery has showed that Tongchang-ri is already in the process of being destroyed, what is important is that now, international inspectors will be able to verify the process.
Washington-based monitoring group 38 North has pointed out that Tongchang-ri has been North Korea's main satellite launch facility since 2012.
The facility has been used for testing engines for North Korean missiles that are capable of reaching the U.S.
Responding to the news, China welcomed the outcome of the summit.
The key North Korean ally, China said that both sides had found "new and important common ground."
Meanwhile, the U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted his appreciation for the Moon-Kim summit.
In a two-part tweet, Trump wrote, "Kim Jong Un has agreed to allow Nuclear inspections, subject to final negotiations, and to permanently dismantle a test site and launch pad in the presence of international experts. In the meantime there will be no Rocket or Nuclear testing. Hero remains to continue being............returned home to the United States. Also, North and South Korea will file a joint bid to host the 2032 Olympics. Very exciting!"
Apart from the agreement to denuclearize, South Korea managed to achieve another great breakthrough.
The South's defence minister and the head of the North Korean army also signed an agreement to reduce military tensions.
The two countries agreed to set up a buffer zone, which is to be established along the border to prevent accidental clashes.
Moon Jae In's visit became the first trip made by a leader from the South, to the North Korean capital in a decade.
