Also, referee's can have a heavy influence in the outcome of games. Yeah of course a team can blow out another team blah blah blah. When the game is close though and an incorrect call is made, such as one against OKC, it has devastating effects. You can't blame the ref's, I agree, but you also cannot discount the influence they have in a close game.

Hey TayC: How about the foul called on Matthews at the end of the Jersey game? He cleanly stole it from Outlaw and would have gotten an easy two points. Oh and that would have tied it. I'm not complaining, but game-changing bad calls are devastating. And yes, Affalo traveled.

From the Hot Seat…
February 14, 2011
APHA's overarching goal is to be the 'go to' organization for public health. At the close of our business meeting in November and again last month, I challenged our Vision Care Section (VCS) to ask ourselves why we should be the 'go to' organization for eye and vision health. After all, there are any number of (much larger) organizations that focus on eyes and vision… what makes us so special? Our mission statement may be a good place to start… "to promote health and well-being with emphasis on vision and eye health through interdisciplinary partnerships. The VCS serves as an advocate to ensure equality in, and access to, vision and eye health care, and to ensure inclusion of vision in public health policy."
All too often, the words of a mission statement are easily dismissed, forgotten, or deemed irrelevant over time. Ours is unique in that it emphasizes interdisciplinary partnerships, advocacy and policy. What other vision and eye health organization can claim the same? Not only is our mission statement relevant today, it calls us to recognize our purpose and sharpen our focus.
We have proudly written or co-sponsored more than 27 policies in over 30 years. In addition, our diligent and interdisciplinary policy workgroup has authored three policy resolutions this year alone! Please join me in thanking Jeff Todd (APHA-VCS chair-elect), Dr. Tony DiStephano, and Dr. John Whitener, for taking the lead on two updated policies (fireworks & global eye health) and one new policy focused children's access to vision care respectively. While we are proud of the hard work and collaboration of the VCS Council and Advocacy Work Group, our advocacy efforts in support of those important policies will be the signpost of our relevance as a section. Thus as we continue to build our interdisciplinary partnerships and increase our policy efforts, advocacy will remain the primary focus of our strategic planning process this year.
One way we might strengthen our advocacy efforts is by reaching out to our state affiliates. Congratulations to our Ohio state affiliate, which has recently created a Vision Care Section! To our knowledge, they are the only active state affiliate VCS in the nation. This presents an excellent opportunity for collaboration and advocacy at the state level. I have been invited to speak with the OPHA-VCS leadership in the coming month, and I look forward to our dialogue. Another opportunity is APHA's National Public Health Week (April 4-10) by addressing the importance of injury and violence prevention through the theme "Safety is No Accident: Live Injury-free." We will be discussing ways in which our Section and individuals might participate, especially since we have an excellent policy on sports and eye safety. Stay tuned for a future e-blast to that effect! In the meantime, be sure to check out the website www.nphw.org and impressive toolkit (pdf) that's available! Also see if Rochelle Mozlin's (APHA-VCS member) guest editorial entitled "Choose Prevention" in the November 2010 issue of Optometry might inspire you!
If we are to continue fulfilling our mission statement, we must envision what 'success' should look like, what it will take to get there, and how it will lend to increasing relevance within the larger vision care and public health communities and particularly for the public whom we serve. Thanks to all of our VCS committee chairs who continue to work hard and contribute to our shared mission. Be sure to read their updates and all the good news that follows! Not least, a special thanks goes to Dr. Pamela Lowe, APHA-VCS secretary, for assuming the role of newsletter editor! As always, feel free to drop a line or two and let me know how we might better serve you, our valued members.

National Public Health Week
It only takes a moment for an injury to happen – a fall on a stair, a moment's glance away from the road, a biking or sports-related injury, a medication mix-up. But it also takes just a moment to protect against injuries and make communities safer. The potential for injury is all around us. Each year, nearly 150,000 people die from injuries, and almost 30 million people are injured seriously enough to go to the emergency room.
During National Public Health Week 2011, the APHA needs your help to educate Americans that "Safety is No Accident". Together, we can help Americans live injury-free in all areas of life: at work, at home, at play, in your community and anywhere people are on the move. We all need to do our part to prevent injuries and violence in our communities. Join us as we work together to create a safer and healthier nation.

InfantSEE®, a public health program of Optometry Cares - The AOA Foundation, continues to serve infants across this country. In 2010, more than 14,000 infants received a no-cost comprehensive eye examination, regardless of family household income or availability of insurance. Overall, the rate of cause for concern (failed examinations) has increased over the past several years. From the forms returned in 2010, one in seven infants have been identified as having a cause for concern that requires follow-up care.
Additionally, InfantSEE® continues to identify infants suffering from life -threatening conditions. More than five cases of retinoblastoma have been documented in the history of the program; countless numbers of hyperopia, astigmatism, myopia and amblyopia have been discovered through the program. The InfantSEE® program is currently involved in its second round of federal funding, which will bring dedicated outreach to eight states (South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Maine, Ohio, New Mexico and Iowa) to identify and assess the overall eye health and vision of infants.
Furthermore, InfantSEE® continues to exhibit at numerous meetings within and outside of the optometric community. Recently, InfantSEE® exhibited at maternal and child health meetings, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners national meeting with the goal of building relationships with groups that can assist in sharing the message and availability of the infantSEE® program.
If you would like more information on InfantSEE®, please contact Mark Schwartz by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or (800) 365-2219 or visit www.infantsee.org
On Dec. 2, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services unveiled Healthy People 2020, the nation's new 10-year goals and objectives for health promotion and disease prevention. Healthy people provides science-based objectives for improving the health of all Americans. For three decades, Healthy People has established benchmarks and monitored progress over time in order to encourage collaborations across sectors; guide individuals toward making informed health decisions; and measure the impact of prevention activities. Healthy People 2020 is the result of a multi-year process that reflects input from a diverse group of individuals and organizations. Through the website, you can view the new Healthy People 2020 topic areas and objectives, tailor information to their needs, and explore evidence-based resources for implementation. Included are eight vision objectives, many of which are carried over from Healthy People 2010. One new objective is to "increase the proportion of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) that provide comprehensive vision health services."

Definition of Arminian in English:
ArminianLine breaks: Ar¦min|ian
Pronunciation: /ɑːˈmɪnɪən /
Relating to the doctrines of Jacobus Arminius (Latinized name of Jakob Hermandszoon, 1560–1609), a Dutch Protestant theologian who rejected the Calvinist doctrine of predestination. His teachings had a considerable influence on Methodism.
More example sentences
- The second work in the manuscript is argumentative and polemical, engaged not in the interior life so much as in the Calvinist / Arminian debate.
- There is little history, for instance, of disagreement over Calvinist or Arminian views.
- The controversy originated through the incursion of Arminian preachers into the Calvinistic Methodist churches of 18th century Wales.
nounBack to top
An adherent of Arminian doctrines.
More example sentences
- Charles was a high churchman and promoted Arminians, but members of Parliament were predominantly low church, equating Arminianism with 'popery', which they abhorred.
- These people spoke with great harshness of Arminians and of John Wesley, the Arminian leader, in particular.
- On the other hand, in Holland, Calvinism dominated the established church, and the dissenting Waterlander Mennonites were Arminians, which makes the stance of the early Baptists more understandable.
- More example sentences
- There are godly evangelical scholars on both sides of the debates about the roles of men and women, spiritual gifts, church government, Calvinism vs Arminianism, the Millennium and Tribulation, etc., etc.
- A superficial understanding of faith and doctrine leaves our churches and members vulnerable to deviations from the gospel - Arminianism, the Charismatic movement or reconstructionism, for example.
- His parents belonged to a particular sect of Calvinists in England in those days, the followers of William Huntington, who were marked by their war unto death against Arminianism and all Arminians.

June 12, 2010 - 39 weeks, 1 day pregnant
Eddie was playing in a golf tournament so Reece and I just hung out at home. He spent the majority of the time in the backyard with his neighborhood friends and I cleaned. Mindy invited us over for dinner so we headed over there around 7, with Eddie to show up for dinner. Mindy grilled chicken, made cheddar mashed potatoes, and green beans for a great meal (a huge step up from the pb&js I'd been eating since I was getting too tired to cook!) Around 9 I stood up to hand Piper to Mindy when I felt a gush - I tried whispering to her that either my water had broke or I wet myself but she got so excited the whole house soon knew. I figured out quickly that my water had indeed broke (but as I pointed out to Bryson - it didn't get on their floors!)
Everyone wanted to go to the hospital so Mindy drove me, Piper, and Parker to our house to pick up my hospital bags and to get Reece's stuff (he was staying the night at their house). We left for the hospital while Bryson, Eddie, and Reece took Charlie over to their house and then went back to our house to pick up my wedding ring (I had taken it off when I was doing dishes).
We got to the hospital a little after 10 and I was checked into my room (Birthing Room 15). They hooked me up to the monitors and did the strip test to make sure my waters had indeed broke and then checked me. Unfortunately, I was still about the same as I had been at my 36 week apt (2 -3 cms dilated, 60% effaced, -2 station). I was checked again around midnight (3 cms dilated, 60% effaced, -2 station) and by this time most everyone was there Eddie Sr, Stephannie (Brandon was there for awhile too), mom, & dad. Bryson & Mindy had went home to put the kids to sleep. At 2 a.m. they checked me again (3 cms, 60% effaced, -2 station), needless to say I was getting frustrated that I wasn't progressing as I was having steady contractions every 3 minutes. Around 2:30 they put in my epidural and I was amazed at how it took away the pain completely (the one I got with Reece wasn't like that!) The nurse mentioned that the doctor might want to start pitocin if I didn't start contracting but I told her I wanted to avoid it if possible. They checked me again at 4:30 a.m. (4 cms, 65%, -1 station) and told me that the doctor would give me a little more time but that if things didn't pick up we'd have to start pitocin to give the contractions some strength. As I rested in bed, I had a talk with baby about making his way out so we didn't have to have any drugs and when I was checked at 6:30 a.m. I had finally made progress! I was 6 cms, 85%, 0 station. They said I had made it over the hump so we wouldn't have to do any pitocin. I was starting to really feel my contractions at this point and hoped we were nearing the end. At 8 a.m. I was checked and I was complete! They got everything ready and the doctor was called. When the doctor came in, we quickly introduced ourselves (my ob was on vacation) and we got ready to start. They told me we were going to push 3 times each contraction and count to 10 each push. The first contraction brought the top of his head out and the second contraction brought him into this world! It is amazing to me that I had him out in only 2 sets of pushing! I also choose to use the birthing mirror and it was really cool to see him being born.
Little Myles was born on 6/13/2010 at 8:35 a.m. weighing 7 lbs, 10 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.

Introducing my Hair Bucket List/Wishlist 2.0.
The first version of this wish list, which was created years ago, was just to have long, straight hair — long because my mother used to my cut my hair really short when I was a kid; straight because I'm naturally curly. All thanks to consistent rebond treatments, I was happy achieving my list but I got bored with my usual look.
Since 2007, I've done a lot with my hair. I had a cellophane treatment with burgundy red as the gloss color, so my hair would look like red under natural light (and this was even before red was a hair color trend, just saying). I had it permed but it was too high maintenance. Dyed it black because I wanted "lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, and skin white as snow", then a year later… I dyed it chocolate brown.
My current wish list is simple, Just add colors here and there. Except for the blue/purple hair, my wish list is nothing too bold or too unnatural. Despite that, it was still a big step for me since the hair color will definitely break or make my whole look and choosing the shade made me fickle for quite a while. It was only when I got my highlights that I've completely decided what shade to choose.
For the sake of avoiding any issue, my first plan was to get purple and then dye it red with pink ombre. I asked Helga about the color transition and she said that if I dye the dark purple with red, it'll just look like plum or something. I didn't want that shade nor do I want to have my hair bleached twice (In case I want to change color in a span of two months). Since my hair's health is more important than the opinion of a hater, I went for red with ombre that will soon fade into pastel pink. Two bucket list in one, saves more money.
Watch out for my next entry! ;)

This conversation is closed.
Is it better to try and to fail, or to never try at all? The latter!
o The cliché says it's better to try and to fail, but I do not think that is entirely true.
o If you are passionate about something, by all means, try and fail! It's the best way to learn!
o But if there is something that you aren't truly passionate about, there's no need to waste precious mental energy trying something that doesn't intrigue you.
Topics: Behavioral psychology mindfulness
Sep 2 2012: When people say that it is better to try and fail then not to try, they do not mean that it is advisable to try things in which you have no interest.
When people advise this, they are suggesting to someone who WANTS to do something but fears failure that it is better to try and fail than never to give the project a chance.
The situation is almost always one in which the person either has an exaggerated idea of the likelihood of failure or of the costs of failure.
This advice (better to try and fail) would not be good if the costs of failure were enormous, such as in jumping off a tall building without a parachute.
Sep 2 2012: What is important as far as talents and abilities are concerned is that one consistently aims for excellence.
In the pursuit of excellence, it is important to note that there will be a difference between our expectations and the reality of our success. Great achievers usually wonder why people seem to be overly impressed by their works and efforts. This is because excellence would have become a norm to them and their dreams remain bigger that the celebrated reality.
In the end, someone who pursues excellence will be clearly different from someone who is comfortable with mediocrity as his or her standard.
Ehis Odijie 10+
Sep 8 2012: I need motivation, to do something. I need no motivation to stagnate. If one is to ask me to participate in one's society, one would have to convince me that the society has a moral compass, and values. When I find one... I will happily join it, and be as productive as possible, I'm not going to hold my breath however.
Sep 3 2012: Channeling my best Bill Clinton...it depends on the definition of "try."
To me trying implies that the results are not definite and potentially fraught with failure ( and success! ). In the things that I am passionate about, I tend to move ahead without much concern about the outcome because I know I am committed. Failure will simply point me in a new direction and will not deter my enthusiasm.
In those areas where I have little knowledge or interest, I tend to hesitate to move ahead because even smaIl failures will stop me in my tracks and keep me from new experiences.
Jithin m
Sep 3 2012: I agree with your overall assessment Max;
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows...Buddha
If you're not passionate about your endeavors - maybe this is not what you should be doing.
If you are passionate about your endeavor I think everything you attempt that doesn't quite work as you planned, is a learning curve - and if headed- leads you toward achieving your goal !

Brazilian mixed martial artist Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira has spent most of his professional career fighting in Japan, most notably under the Pride Fighting Championships banner. During his time there, he was heralded as one of the best heavyweights, not only in the organization, but also in the world.
Nogueira's world-class jiu-jitsu combined with sharp boxing and strong overall game earned him the Pride heavyweight title a decade ago, while at the same time, garnered the respect of MMA fans from all across the globe. From Japan to the United States, Europe and his home country of Brazil, "Big Nog" has touched the hearts of diehard fans for several years.
What is surprising is that with all his accomplishments and countless memorable performances overseas, Nogueira is yet to fight within the borders of where he resides. But with UFC 134: Rio, Rodrigo is finally getting his chance to put on a show for his fellow countryman and display his prowess live for the Brazilian faithful.
The excitement to fight in front of the supportive home crowd can hardly be contained, especially after waiting 40 fights to do so.
"It's going to be my first fight in Brazil (and) my 40th fight of my career," Nogueira said at the UFC 134: Rio press conference. "And I'm very excited to fight here. I've never had the chance to fight (with) the whole crowd on my side."

Traveling to Japan to fight for the Pride promotion for all those years couldn't have been an easy excursion. While there, Nogueira wouldn't have a lot of familiar faces to support him, other than a few exceptions, and sleeping in his own bed was obviously not in the cards for the Brazilian heavyweight.
Now fighting in the UFC, "Big Nog," at this late stage in his career, has more opportunity than ever before to fight all over the world. UFC 134: Rio couldn't be a better set-up for the former Pride heavyweight champ.
Heck, he could close up the doors to his gym and take a two-minute ride to the venue for his fight on Saturday night.
With everything related to fight week being so convenient for him in Rio de Janeiro, Nogueira doesn't feel any pressure going into his bout with Brendan Schaub. Actually, the mood seems as though there is no pressure whatsoever. The vibe and energy Nogueira feels from the home crowd and anticipated family in attendance motivates the MMA veteran to perform that much more in Rio.
Just as this is his first time fighting in Brazil, it is also the first opportunity for his daughter and father to witness him fight in person.
"The arena is just one mile from my gym, so I know all my students are going to be there," he said. "(It's) the first time I'm going to fight in front of my family, my daughter, and my father. I'm very excited for that. (Seeing) the energy and all the people on our side, (I'm) going to take it as support, instead of the pressure."

Big Nog has made enough money and built enough fame to live comfortably.
Like Wandy, this punch-drunk former champ's reaction and chin has gone down a notch or two. That is why that even though he has the overall skills, he is always that one punch late. And for a fighter at the top level of the game, a split second is heaven or hell.
I think he is gonna get knocked out in Rio. But I don't worry about him too much. Unlike other pioneers of the sport, he has money/fame.
"The arena is just one mile from my gym, so I know all my students are going to be there," he said. "(It's) the first time I'm going to fight in front of my family, my daughter, and my father. I'm very excited for that. (Seeing) the energy and all the people on our side, (I'm) going to take it as support, instead of the pressure."
Pretty much this means that he is going to get pwned by a nobody in his own backyard.
Brendan Schaub is a nobody. The UFC should have sent him to the SF tourney so that be can take Overeem's place. That would have been a good learning experience for Schaub.
This has all of the warning signs of a classic LOSS for an ex champion fighting in his hometown for the very first time.
Schaub is a nobody. But he isn't a chump. He's younger with more energy, and he has very crisp stand up. Nog does not.
I think Nog may be thinking the UFC has served him up Schaub for an easy victory in his home town, and that is not the case.
Sadly, Nog likes to endure a lot of punishment before he attempts the victory. Like Nog vs Tim Silvia.
Not only is he going to lose in his home town, he's going to let this kid mess his face up real good in the process and make the loss just that much worse.
I like both these guys, and hate to see either lose, but I think this is a bad match up for Nog, and he's underestimating the 'noname' opponent.
Again, not saying Schaub is good. Because we all know that his days in the UFC are numbered. As soon as Schaub fights anyone decent, he is going home.
But Nog's reaction time has slowed down over the years. After 10+ years of getting hit on the head, this guy has difficulty reacting to punches. In addition, his chin has taken a tremendous toll. Nog is punch-drunk.
Did you see the the CC Schaub fight? That fight showed that Schaub will most likely never make champion. It also showed how washed up these old school guys are.
Nog should have asked for an easier fight in Rio. He should have asked for Tim Hague, grind out a decision, and retire.
I wonder what guys like Chuck, Nog, and Wandy could do to revive their chins?
Come on! Mike Tyson retired after losing to nobodies! He said, "I am going to retire because it is doing dis-service to the sport for me to lose to fighters of this caliber."
I just don't understand guys like Nog, CC, Wandy, and Chuck. Come on. In their respective primes, they would not have even thought about being in the same ring with low level fighters such as Chris Leben, Brenden Schaub, or Keith Jardine, let alone losing to them.
Even Mike Tyson knows when to retire.
Missed the CC Schaub fight, or rather, racking my brain and can't figure out who CC is. I don't expect Schaub to be champion, because I think he's too susceptible to the KO. Roy Nelson showed us that. He also showed us that even as tall as Schaub is, he isn't protecting the side of his head.
as for champs fighting nobodies in the winter of their careers and getting losses.
I think maybe they can't admit to themselves they aren't as good as they used to be. After all it takes a huge amount of confidence to fight, even if your not good, you have confidence.
The other, sadly, has to do with money. Hate to see guys this late in life after a succeful career broke. But, it's their own fault.

TEAMS: New York Giants
One year ago, Steve Weatherford caused a little bit of a stir when he tweeted out a video of New York Giants teammate Prince Amukamara being thrown into an ice cold bath with all his clothes on by Jason Pierre-Paul. The Giants, for whatever reason, took a lot of heat for the rather silly act of hazing. Weatherford ended up taking the most heat from within his own team since he was the one who made it public. This year, a tweet involving Weatherford is much more touching and much more deserving of attention.
Joseph Brennan was a lifelong Giants fan, and the punter that gave him his last great memory of the team. Not everyone gets the chance to obtain an autograph of a player from his or her favorite team, and even when it is just the punter, it's a special moment. Brennan was suffering from cancer at the age of 79, and the few minutes that Weatherford spent signing his Giants hat was one of his favorite final moments. Weatherford signed Brennan's favorite Giants hat, and, according to his daughter, it brought immense joy when he put it on. Brennan died just a few days later.
"He smiled when we put that hat on, it was quite amazing,'' Diane Brennan recounted to The Post.
The family sent out a thank-you through Twitter to Weatherford, and posted the picture of the hat, which hanging at the funeral -- something that obviously touched the Giants punter greatly. Weatherford, unlike many other punters, or even players, has used social media to his advantage, with the exception of last year's video.
"I know I'm not gonna play this game forever,'' Weatherford told The Post during a training camp break. "I try to take advantage of the platform and the ability to inspire and motivate people because it's not like it takes an hour and a half of my time to say 'Hi' to a kid or sign an autograph or share my motivation of the day on social media.
"Let's be honest, I'm a punter. It's not like I'm that big a part of the team. Granted I feel like I am talented at my position but the fact of the matter is I'm a punter, I play five or six plays a game. The fact people care what I think and I'm able to motivate people by being such a small piece of this team and still carry some weight off the field is cool. I think a lot of that is how accessible I make myself to fans. The fact is I really am living the dream and it's cool I get to share the fact I'm living the dream with other people.''
Yeah, we make jokes about the punter, all the time, but Weatherford deserves a lot of praise for what he did off the field, probably more so than the excellent job he has done with the Giants the past two seasons on it. I have to disagree with him when he says 'it's not like I'm than big a part of the team,' in fact he's a huge asset which goes beyond the lines on the field.
Steve is a great guy and a class act. My daughter made him a bracelet before the super bowl last year and he promised he would wear it in the game (along with Lawrence tynes). They did wear them as promised and she was over the moon. She has his autographed picture in her room. She got sick this year and its been rough for her the past 6 months, but every time she sees him on tv or looks at that picture she smiles and is reminded how there are still some great people in this world.

Arabian Nights
One city, three protagonists: Nour, who loses her parents in a car accident; India, who has everything a woman can dream of except for a baby; and 12-year-old Marwan, an abused boy living with an alcoholic mother. They come from different backgrounds, they pass each other but never meet, until the effects of one incident drastically alters their lives. Lara Saba's epic feature is as much about Beirut, in all its complexity, as it is her characters; she makes use of an incredible ensemble cast to deliver a punchy, gripping drama about today's Lebanon.

After a vacation, a weekend, or even a day off -- when toddlers typically run around for hours, watch more TV than usual, and stay up past their regular bedtimes -- it can be tough for them to switch back into school mode. While you can't maintain the structure of a school day during a break (it wouldn't be much of a break if you did), you can keep their love of learning alive.
"During periods of time off, it's important to continue providing stimulating activities that keep your child motivated to learn," says Ron Fairchild, executive director of the Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University. And when you come back, you can help prepare them to return to classroom learning and the school routine. Here's how:
While You're Away...
When You Come Back...
The Night Before School...
On the morning of the first day back, go through your regular school-day rituals. Before you and your child part, remind her when she'll see you again -- "I'll pick you up after nap"-- and give her something to look forward to after school -- "We'll read your new Olivia book when you get home, and maybe we'll even bake cookies!" Give her a big hug and kiss and tell her she's going to have a great day. After all your preparation, she no doubt will.

Louisville – Dixie Highway is one of Louisville's oldest commercial corridors and has recently undergone an effort to efficiently improve the flow of traffic. In the next several years, millions of dollars will be spent to give it a new look for those who live and work along the corridor.
Those efforts are the subject of the next District 12 Dialogue hosted by Councilman Rick Blackwell and set for Tuesday, November 12th at 7:00pm.
"We will have a briefing on the status of the recent light synchronization," says Blackwell. "I will also have a representative of the Corradino Group to update us on the progress of Dixie Highway Master Plan."
Pat Johnson, traffic engineer for the Metro Traffic Control Center, will be on hand to explain how the synchronization works covering 23 intersections over 11 miles of Dixie Highway in metro Louisville.
Just recently, the Corradino Group was awarded the contract for the first phase of the Dixie Highway Master Plan which will include improvements in safety; pedestrian access and a new look for this important hub in Southwest Louisville.
The meeting will take place at the Ormsby Heights Baptist Church, 2120 Lower Hunters Trace.
Blackwell has also invited representatives of LMPD, IPL and MSD, and Congressman John Yarmuth's office to be on hand as well.
For more information about November's District 12 Dialogue, contact Councilman Blackwell's office at 574-1112.

WATERLOO — The prominent yellow moustache jogged Tristan Long's memory.
Where had he seen something like that before? Ah, of course. In the pages of a Dr. Seuss book.
The Lorax, the strange, little environmentally conscious character in the book that bears its name, has a big, bushy, yellow moustache as well.
The thought struck Long as he studied a picture of a newly discovered spider with a distinctive yellow marking on its face, right below four of its eight eyes.
The spider was the subject of a contest presented by the University of British Columbia's Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Earlier this year, the public was invited to submit names for the little arachnid, a new species of jumping spider discovered in Ecuador in 2010 by the museum's scientific director, Wayne Maddison.
The winning name would follow Lapsias, the genus classification for certain jumping spiders. Long — an assistant professor of biology at Wilfrid Laurier University — was intrigued.
The physical similarity made Lorax a good fit for the spider, he thought. But the book's themes of species protection and habitat conservation sealed the deal. "It seemed an excellent coincidence," Long said.
And museum officials agreed, selecting his suggestion as the winning entry. The spider will now be known as Lapsias lorax.
"It's an absolute honour," Long said. One of the first things biologists learn about is the hierarchical nature of species, Long said, and the system of naming species devised by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century.
"To be a little part of such a long and distinguished history is quite amazing."
Long's work at Laurier doesn't involve spiders. He uses fruit flies as a model species to study the sexual selection process.
The small male spider discovered by Maddison is the only known representative of its species — making its connection to The Lorax all the more meaningful.
The book, published in 1971, pitted the Lorax against the Once-ler, who represents industry and wants to chop down a forest of Truffula trees to produce his wares.
The Lorax, "who speaks for the trees," protests and tries to protect the forest's creatures from the factory's "smogulous smoke" and its toxic by-products.
"They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!" the Lorax says.
"The Lorax's message to preserve biodiversity, and his resemblance to the new spider, make his the perfect name for the new spider," Maddison wrote in a blog post.
The museum received 810 contest entries. As the winner, Long was also invited to join Maddison for a private tour of a spider research lab.
Long's wife, Natasha Gallo, read The Lorax to their young son, Griffin, the other night. At two-and-a-half, he's more interested right now in the Mr. Men books and Thomas the Tank Engine.
But Long thinks the Seuss tale will become a favourite.
"I think it will become a story that we tell," he said. "It has a special place in our family history."

As we debate the finer points of Big Green Eggs, gas and charcoal grills this week on the Food and More blog, I checked in with Chef Todd Mussman. He uses a Big Green Egg. Well, actually, it's blue. His personal egg, purchased for him as a wedding gift, was one of only 190 limited run of the color.
Mussman is now a culinary partner with Big Green Egg (BGE) and uses the Kamado-style cookers in his restaurants Muss & Turner's and Local Three. In fact, when he opened Muss & Turner's 8 years ago, he was one of the first to incorporate eggs into an indoor professional kitchen. After much research, a special hood and dealings with the fire marshall, two BGEs now serve as the primary cooking vessels at the restaurant.
Why charcoal over gas?
Mussman says this question is like "using stock to make soup versus water." Charcoal adds flavor, "If you char the edge of your steak on a propane grill, it tastes burned. If you char the edge of your steak on a charcoal grill, it tastes wonderful."
Why use a Big Green Egg over a charcoal grill?
For Mussman it comes down to flavor and efficiency, as they maintain temperatures and hold their heat. BGEs are meant to be used with the lid down, trapping the moisture. The moist heat makes it less likely for foods to dry out during the cooking process.
Ways to use the Big Green Egg
We all know that we can smoke a pork shoulder or ribs on the egg. Mussman notes how versatile the egg is and encourages folks to branch out, "Don't just think big meat." He says to think of cooking at three temperature ranges:
Need help getting started? Mussman leads Big Green Egg classes at Local Three where he teaches a variety of techniques to help folks realize the potential of their eggs. See class information here.
Mussman also shared a recipe for mussels made on the Big Green Egg.
Iron Skillet Roasted Mussels
(yields 4 portions)
Fire up the Big Green Egg medium hot (around 400-425 degrees) and place a large iron skillet or Dutch oven inside to pre heat.
Meanwhile heat the butter in a small sauce pan and add the shallots and garlic along with the bay leaf, thyme sprig and chili flakes if using. Allow the flavors to meld without coloring the shallots. Add S&P and white wine, boil and remove from heat.
Bring the mussels and sauce pan of wine butter to the grill. Add the mussels to the pan first and follow with the wine butter mixture.
Close the grill and close the dampers down to a low setting. Allow the mussels to steam/roast for about 5 minutes or until all the mussels open. Discard any unopened mussels.
Re-season with S&P, serve with crusty garlic bread if you like.
This is great served right from the skillet family-style.

Bad Dreams0 Reviews
Just a Poem,talking about the main charcter (me) having a bad dream.. includes MCR
Running fast,heart racing,breath heavy.
Through the moonlit desert,Draculoids on my tail.
My mask slipping,gun in hand,sweating in the heat.
I hear tyres screech,and run faster.
I hear the gunshots in my head,the same ones that killed my family.
The car catches up...
I try to run faster,away from my chasers.
I trip and fall,my predators come.
I turn around and see..
A red haired man,looking concerned
name I do not know.
A short man in a scary mask
I've seen him in the diner.
A guy with blond hair
name Kobra Kid,I remember him
Finally,a guy with an astronaut helmet,
I do not know his name.
Who are you,says red head
Sadie,is my reply
A killjoy,asks scary mask
for three days,i say
at the diner,all is silent
until a radio booms
look alive sunshine,a voice booms
who's that,i ask
Dr.Death,replys Party Poison
I hear gunshots,not in my head though
I grab my gun,ready for a battle
At BL/ind,gunshots fire around,
The killjoys turn up,prepared for a fight
One shot,two shots down goes Party Poison
three shots four shots Kobra Kid dies
five,six,seven Jet stars down
Fun Ghouls down in ten
I scream and shoot in any direction
Hoping to kill a drac
I hear his voice,the leader
The one i must kill
but my battle is over within three shots
I collapse bleeding,ozzing red liquid
A gun is put to my head,it feels like death
The trigger is pulled
I die..
my eyes jolt open,striking tears
I look around,I smile
I'm home...

Will You Answer This Company's Call?
Kathleen is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After AT&T and Verizon, Sprint Nextel Corporation (NYSE: S) is the third biggest wireless telecom company. It was not long ago that Sprint was heavily weighed down by debt issues. Sprint valuations were so poor that some analysts predicted that the company might file for bankruptcy and become a total loss for shareholders. Several strategies have helped Sprint stay in the communications game. Their repertoire of tricks includes unlimited data plan offers and the managerial decision to include highly rated smartphones, like the iPhone, on its prepaid plans. Sprint has moved out of the danger zone, and is gradually transforming from a struggling company to a business entity that some analysts consider as a legitimate investment. From their standpoint, a call to invest in Sprint may be worth answering.
Sprint vs. Industry Leaders
When it comes to customers, Verizon Communication (NYSE: VZ) leads AT&T (NYSE: T) and Sprint. Verizon has 111.3 million customers, while Sprint is a distant third with 56 million subscribers. Verizon has high margins and strong revenues from consumers, while AT&T is next, and Sprint is far behind. It's possible that Sprint is still considered a good investment by some because of its $20 billion consolidation plan with Japan's wireless telecom giant, Softbank. Considering its turnaround plans, Sprint is predicted to appreciate in price. At about $44 and $34 per share for Verizon and AT&T, analysts consider the two telecom stocks to be trading near the high end of their fair values.
A Solid Plan
At a recent Goldman Sachs conference, Sprint's CEO, Dan Hasse, hinted that Sprint was ready to be a major player in the expected acquisition and merger plans within the telecom sector. Sprint has snapped up 50.8% majority shareholding in Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR). Clearwire is another wireless telecom firm comparable to Sprint. But prior to Sprint owning a majority stake in Clearwire, Mount Keller Capital was the largest shareholder with a 7.3% stake. Clearwire recorded the highest sales growth in the last five years with 65.7 percent, compared to Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. Sprint also offered to sell a 70 percent stake to Softbank. Softbank will help the new entity compete better with AT&T.
Sprint's Track Record and Outlook
Since 2007, Sprint's earnings have been inconsistent. The telecom company's revenues have peaked and dipped intermittently. In 2009, Sprint grossed $32.26 billion in revenues. In 2010 and 2011 an increase of 3.4 percent in revenues was recorded, compared to 2 percent reported for AT&T. Sprint further increased its revenues by 1.4 percent in the first quarter of 2012 while AT&T reported a decline of 0.2 percent. Although it is still in the negative, Sprint earnings per share increased by 16.7 percent to -$1.44 in 2012.
Sprint is still favored by some investors as long as its services and earnings continue to improve. For now, however, it is still riding the coattails of industry leaders like Verizon and AT&T. The telecom company has yet to consistently hold its own among the steep competition in the communications industry. So while some investors have good reason to believe in the company's potential, others find it advantageous to let the call to invest in Sprint go to voicemail.

the Beginning
Canadian Aviation Corps. 1914 - 1915
Canada found itself at war with Germany on August 4, 1914. Several European nations were employing the airplane as a military weapon. Canada, however, had neither aircraft or aircrew in her armed forces. Colonel Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia and Defence, was responsible for assembling the Canadian Expeditionary Force for overseas service. Colonel Hughes inquired to the British Secretary of War about the about the need for aviators and was advised that Britain could accept 6 experienced aviators immediately, with more positions to follow. Colonel Hughes was unable to find any aviators to meet the British needs, but did approved the formation of a small aviation unit to accompany the Canadian Expeditionary Force to England.
The Canadian Aviation Corps was formed on September 16, 1914 and consisted of two officers and one mechanic. E.L. Janney was appointed the "Provisional Commander" of the CAC with the rank of Captain and was authorized to spend not more than five thousand dollars for the purchase of an airplane. Captain Janney arranged to purchase a biplane from the Burgess-Dunne Company in Massachusetts and the aircraft was delivered to Quebec City.
The airplane arrived on October 1 and was immediately loaded aboard one of the thirty ships of the Canadian Expeditionary Force bound for England. On arrival in England the aircraft was unloaded and trucked to Salisbury Plan where the Canadian Troops were training. The aircraft never flew in England as not one of the three members of the CAC was a qualified pilot. Parked out in the damp English climate, the Burgess-Dunne quickly deteriorated and was eventually written off.
By May 7, 1915 the Canadian Aviation Corps had ceased to exist and this ended the short life of Canada's first military aviation force.

A bill to put those arrested on heroin charges in jail for a longer time took its first step toward passage Wednesday.
The House Criminal Justice Committee
approved a bill that was backed by district attorneys and law enforcement
associations to raise the mandatory minimum sentences on heroin dealers and users.
East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Sid
Gautreaux and District Attorney Hillar Moore were among a dozen people in favor
of HB 332, which is sponsored state Rep. Joseph Lopinto, R-Metairie. Gautreaux
and Moore said it is time to crack down on heroin because of the number of
deaths this past year.
Some members expressed concerns
about raising minimum mandatory jail sentences, so look for this measure
to get amended before it reaches the end of the process.

Plagiarism and what, if anything, should be done about it in our Colleges and Universities.
There is a business simulation that is being played in many colleges and universities where, if a company (team) is ahead of you in points, simply copy what they are doing right with their products and advertising.
Is that plagiarism?
Years ago, I talked with an container manufacturer who took the artwork from a competitor and made 10-12 drawings, each one a little bit different than the previous one but the last subliminally identical to the competitor's design so that business could be stolen from that competitor with the client in question.
Is that plagiarism?
Are we confusing plagiarism with unethical behavior or is copying simply copying without recognizing the source?
Most Colleges and Universities have a third party available to all instructors that will check out papers to see if they have been plagiarized. Many professors use that service but there are some that simply copy and paste sentences from various paragraphs into the Google search engine and press enter and the sources are readily available. Some have been paraphrased and some have been completely copied and used as their own.
So, here is the debate: should we hold students accountable for plagiarism when the "real world" does not or should we simply let it go, realizing that life over time is always self-correcting?
Sometimes, plagiarism is so easy to spot especially when one has in-class writing assignments and can compare them to out-of-class writing assignments and it is sad to think that college students believe that they will not get caught by professors.
Another issue for debate that is tied to plagiarism is: should colleges and universities prepare students for life and the "real world" or should they just acquaint them with the pursuit of knowledge? Can this question be easily answered by reading the Charter/Mission of the school?
Plagiarism is a substantial component of the competitive environment and should not be tampered with at any cost... is my opinion.

When the University of Miami's Lowe Art Museum began in 1952, the school could comfortably display its entire collection in three unused classrooms. Those days are long past. Today, the museum stands as Miami's most comprehensive collection of western and non-western art. The permanent collections feature pieces drawn from across human history, with notable works including Claude Monet's Waterloo Bridge and a recently acquired face mask from the Dan people of Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia, forged from wood, cloth, and fur. A sizable trove of Native American artifacts includes pieces from the Southeast such as a beautifully embroidered bead shoulder bag. Other exhibits include paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, and photographs from the Middle Ages through the present, including the Samuel H. Kress Collection of Renaissance and Baroque art, as well as pottery, sculpture, and metalwork from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, dating from the first millennium BCE through the 4th century CE.
A few miles away, the tower of the 1939 Old Police and Fire Station rises above the street, gazing down on an unusual blend of sleek, depression-era modernism and Mediterranean revival ornateness. Founded in 2003, the Coral Gables Museum Corp. completely renovated the old municipal building. Spanish touches were added—the new Fewell wing and a 5,000-square-foot plaza—and the space was opened in 2011 as a museum dedicated to the civic arts of architecture, urban design, historic and environmental preservation, and sustainable development. Today, it holds regular art and design exhibitions, educational events, and concerts.

The tower of the 1939 Old Police and Fire Station rises above the street in downtown Coral Gables, gazing down on an unusual blend of sleek, Depression-era modernism and Mediterranean revival ornateness.

As they observe the vibrant exhibits of aquatic life inside the Miami Seaquarium, many guests don't realize that they are walking through a movie set and a hospital. In the onsite lagoon, bottlenose dolphins swim through waters once traversed by Flipper, who filmed several television episodes and films at the venue. The Seaquarium is also recognized as a manatee critical care facility. Its staff has accomplished several historic treatments, including monitoring the conception and arrival of the first manatee born under human care and conducting the first manatee neurological surgery.
These facets of the Seaquarium—along with its many conservation efforts, educational programs, and shows—underscore a united commitment to wildlife consciousness. The animal attractions enable visitors to witness the allure and fragility of oceanic fauna up close, whether they are petting the back of a stingray or washing a dress shirt on the rough back of an 8-foot nile crocodile. Special encounters decrease the distance even further, sending patrons on underwater Sea Treks through the reef display or helping them to lead marine-mammal training routines.
It's hard to pinpoint the biggest personality inside the Seaquarium tanks, but Lolita the killer whale—who performs daily alongside pacific white-sided dolphins—claims the title of heaviest, period. On the other end of the scale, macaws and cockatiels perch around the Tropical Wings section of the park, and endangered sea turtles lounge at Discovery Bay. Elsewhere, a watery playground and three-story ropes course keep legs from growing too wobbly after a trip to Shark Channel or a smooch from a sea lion.
The Patricia and Philip Frost Museum has spent most of its life outgrowing its digs. It debuted in 1949 as a children's museum, which took off quickly and soon expanded into the Museum of Science and Natural History in 1952. In 1960, it again needed more space and moved to its current site, and now an even larger space is being built, set to open in 2016.
But throughout all its physical changes, its mission remains the same, "We inspire people of all ages and cultures to enjoy science and technology, in order to better understand ourselves and our world."
Size: as of now, the site stands at 48,000 square feet; plans for the new space will expand that to 250,000 square feet over five levels
