It's no secret that interim UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barão is going to make the first defense of his belt against Michael McDonald, but now the two know when and where… Feb. 16 in London.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the title defense on Tuesday night's edition of UFC Tonight on Fuel TV.

UFC brass finally pulled the trigger on the fight after it was revealed that UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz had to have a second ACL surgery when his body rejected the cadaver tissue used in his first surgery. The second operation will keep him sidelined for the better part of 2013.
UFC on Fuel TV 7 marks the promotion's return to London for the first time since late 2010 when Michael Bisping and Yoshihiro Akiyama headlined UFC 120 at the O2 Arena.
Barão vs. McDonald will headline at Wembley Arena. No, not the mammoth Wembley Stadium next door. Wembley Arena is an indoor facility that has a capacity of roughly 12,500.
UFC officials on Thursday revealed the championship main event alongside several other bouts for the London fight card; not surprisingly, it is weighted heavily towards several top British fighters.
Renan Barao vs. Michael McDonald
Che Mills vs. Matt Riddle
Terry Etim vs. Renee Forte
Paul Sass vs. Danny Castillo
Billy Harris vs. Ulysses Gomez
Vaughan Lee vs. Motonobu Tezuka
Andy Ogle vs. Josh Grispi
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for all the latest UFC on Fuel TV 7 London fight card news and updates.
Since when were title fights put on fuel…
I understand the business and why England doesn't get the big names, but that doesn't make it any less disappointing. Looks like I'll have to travel to the States or Brazil if I'm ever going to see a stacked UFC card.
Awesome fight for a Fuel tv card!
Once again we get a shitty card in England. I'm very surprised they gave us a title fight (albeit the interim title) but the rest is pretty lame. It's just a matter of time before they add Kongo or Diabate to the card because France is quite near England. We can go and watch BAMMA if we want to watch domestic talent, give us a chance to see some international talent for once.
And sure enough they add Diabate.

Wildlife committee planning for protection and access
wildlife preservation committee, a five-member sub-committee
of the Blaine parks and cemetery board, met Tuesday, May
21 to discuss some of the conflicting ideas for the development
of Marine Park. The city of Blaine is in the process of
developing a Public Access and Habitat Preservation Action
Plan for the northern shoreline of the Marine Drive Extension
with the goal of developing a long-term management plan
for this rich wildlife area.
The two main goals of the committee are working to create more direct public access to beaches and to enhance and protect the diverse wildlife that inhabits the area. We have some of the richest habitat in the Pacific Northwest Flyway, said Terry Galvin, Blaine community and economic development director. Barry Wenger, a shoreline specialist with Coastal Zone Management, was present to discuss how a $10 thousand grant, allocated by the Washington State Department of Ecology, would best be used.
Wildlife Biologist, Ann Eisinger of Nahkeeta Northwest Wildlife Services, presented a Semiahmoo Bay Wildlife Protection Plan, which included an inventory of the site and an analysis of alternatives, objectives and action items. After committee and staff make amendments, the plan will be enjoined with the parks comprehensive plan. It will then go to city council sometime towards the end of this year.
In the report, Eisinger praised the city of Blaine for their good record keeping and plans, but she raised some concern about the zoning and the current use. All of this is about people management as far as Im concerned, Eisinger said. We have a growing population and Im concerned about people who are ignorant about the species.
She said her primary concern was dogs. Despite signs at the park entrance stating that dogs should be on a leash, the law isnt strictly enforced. Eisinger saw repeated incidents involving people or dogs harassing wildlife on the tidal flats. She suggested monitoring wildlife patterns and public use of the intertidal area for a year to determine the need for public access restrictions.
Enhancing the vegetation was another recommendation Eisinger made. She suggested the ongoing removal of invasive, non-native species such as blackberries, Japanese knotweed, purple loosestrife and reed canary grass and replacing them with a natural barrier to protect the sensitive shorelines. She proposed the barrier be made up of Nootka rose, willow, black hawthorn, native crab apple or other thick low-growing shrubs.
Eisingers approach is to use natural resources as much as possible. This presented a debate at the meeting when she disagreed with the 2.5 acres in the middle of the park identified for marine commercial use. Lets keep it simple. Lets be practical and use the existing structures for what they were built for, Eisinger said.
We know generally what we are shooting for, Galvin said. We want something that would enhance the existing park without being in conflict with the preservation plan. Ideas for developing this area are still being discussed, but a visitors center or interpretive museum were mentioned at the meeting. One concern raised by the committee was non-motor boat uses in the area. The idea is to launch on one of the pocket beaches to the west end, Galvin said. Its really about balance. Eisinger thought launching kayaks, canoes and other light craft would be okay and wouldnt disturb wildlife.
Another concern raised was the water quality in Cain Creek, the primary freshwater stream that runs through the central city of Blaine and empties into Semiahmoo Bay. This is a popular area for concentrations of birds and historically, salmon spawning. However, high levels of pollutants have impacted the health of birds and fish that live there and an evaluation of water quality and enhancement potential was suggested. Also, past manipulations and the routing of the Cain Creek outfall prevents fish, and other estuarine species from accessing the stream. Restoration suggestions include looking at the upstream watershed and implementing something to help with salmon and migratory fish. She (Eisinger) gave us lots of ideas and recommendations that our committee would not have had the expertise to come up with, said June Auld, committee member.
After Tuesdays meeting, Eisinger led the committee on a walk through the park, spotting bald eagles and other wildlife while pointing out important locations..

Murder charge dismissed against Vt. grandmotherAugust 18,2013State dismisses
murder charge
HYDE PARK A Vermont judge has dismissed a murder charge against a Morrisville grandmother found mentally incompetent to stand trial on charges of giving a fatal drug overdose to her infant grandson.
The judge has ruled that Pamela Raymond, 56, does not need to be hospitalized and can be treated in the community.
Raymond, a former nurse, pleaded innocent to second-degree murder in the 2010 death of her 3-month-old grandson. Prosecutors say the child was given a lethal dose of an antidepressant to keep him quiet so he would not bother Raymonds husband in September 2010.
Deputy States Attorney Christopher Moll said the state may file the charge again if it deems Raymond competent to stand trial.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Treatment for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA)
How Do I Know if My Child Has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?
No single test can diagnose juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. A doctor diagnoses JRA by carefully examining your child and considering his or her medical history, the results of lab tests, and X-rays that help rule out other conditions.
Doctors usually suspect juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), along with other possible conditions, when they see children with persistent joint pain or swelling, unexplained skin rashes and fever, swollen lymph nodes, or inflamed internal organs. A diagnosis of JRA is also considered in children with an unexplained limp or excessive clumsiness.
It should be noted that JRA is often referred to by doctors as juvenile idiopathic arthritis, or JIA. Idiopathic means there is no known cause for the disorder.
In order to properly diagnose JRA, the doctor will consider the following:
- Joint swelling or pain must last for at least six weeks. Because this time factor is so important, it's useful as a parent to keep a record of the child's symptoms, when they first appeared, and when symptoms are worse or better.
- Lab tests, including blood tests, can help rule out other conditions and classify types of JRA. Blood is tested for rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibodies (ANAs), and to determine the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
- X-rays are needed if your doctor suspects injury to a bone or unusual bone development. Early in the disease, some X-rays can show cartilage damage, but in general, X-rays are more useful later in the disease, when bones may be affected.
Because there are many possible causes of joint pain and swelling, your doctor may use additional tests to help rule out other conditions before diagnosing JRA. These other causes of joint pain and swelling include injury, bacterial or viral infection, Lyme disease, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, lupus, dermatomyositis, and some forms of cancer.
What Is the Treatment for Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Rheumatologists have special expertise in caring for patients with arthritis and other joint problems. Pediatric rheumatologists are trained in both pediatrics and rheumatology and are best equipped to deal with the complex problems of JRA. But these specialists are uncommon and some areas of the country have none at all. In these cases, a team approach involving your child's pediatrician and a rheumatologist can provide optimal care for a child with arthritis. Other key members of the team include physical therapists, physiatrists, and occupational therapists.
The goals of treatment for JRA are to preserve a high level of physical and social functioning and maintain a good quality of life. The doctor will recommend treatment to reduce swelling, maintain full movement in the affected joints, relieve pain, and identify, treat, and prevent complications. Most children with JRA need medication and physical therapy to reach these goals.

Our pit crew and strength coaches emphasize that one of the major components in becoming a successful pit crew is giving 100 percent in our fitness and training program. No one individual performance can bring success. We are dependent upon each other to pull off the perfect pit stop, which can make the difference in Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s success on race day.
This weekend, we're heading to Phoenix International Raceway with plenty of notes from last month's two-day test session. After our No. 24 team here at Hendrick Motorsports won there in February, the track was repaved. NASCAR gave us the opportunity to have a test out there in October, and during that time, we got an idea of how our Chevrolets would fare on the new one-mile surface. It was a very successful outing for the (No.) 88 team.
When it comes to pit stops, our crews have to be prepared for more than just changing tires, making adjustments and adding fuel to Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet or Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet on race day. If one of our teams is involved in an incident, our over-the-wall teams have to be ready to step up and handle the repairs on pit road.

The Naga Fireballs
Fireballs are observed in some 250 kilometres long sector of Mekong: approximately from Ban Muang upstreams from Vientiane down to Bung Kan. Most of them rise from the 500 - 800 m wide Mekong River, but they have been observed rising from smaller ponds and rivers as well. These places might sound exotic and remote to Europeans but they are densely populated, filled with houses, roads, schools and other usual features of civilisation.
Phenomenon of Naga fireballs is not too well documented in earlier times. Some say that Wat Luang temple (in Phon Phisai, Wat Pho Luang Phra Sai) contains centuries old written records mentioning them. There are mentioned also occasional written reports from British soldiers in 1960ies - although nothing concrete is cited. Numerous local people claim that they have seen the lights for all their life and their parents and grandparents did it as well.
Although the appearance of fireballs is celebrated at certain days in October, in fact this event is not predictable. There have been cases when the official festivity "ends without results" and fireballs come unexpected in another night. Many people have tried hard to see them for years without success, many are lucky and see them at first visit to this site. For example, in 2001 there were reported 3,000 fireballs, the festivity of 2004 was disappointing in this respect but in 2008 the illumination was excellent.

Nominalization in Medical Papers: A Comparative Study
Medical writings are generally standardized in language and concentrated on highly technical terms, but it can be difficult to understand due to its many forms and complexity as well. This paper adopts Hallidayan Functional Grammar to analyze nominalization in EMP (English for Medical Purpose) and the role played by it.
With a corpus of Discussion Sections of 10 authentic medical papers by native English writers and 10 by Chinese academic writers drawn from very influential medical journals, the author has carried out a formal comparative analysis of three aspects: frequency of nominalization, lexical density.
Firstly, what the author has attempted in this paper is to convince the readers that nominalization is a most powerful device in English by touching upon the relevant aspects with regard to nominalization: its wide range of morphological types as well as its typical functions in constructing EMP. Nominalization makes the whole text a solid block of information. Hence, the messages transferred by EMP allow little doubt or argument. It is shown that the roles played by nominalization are in accordance with the special requirements of EMP.
Secondly, by identifying, analyzing and interpreting the nominalization in medical papers written by native English writers and Chinese writers from three aspects: the frequency of nominalization, lexical density and thematic progression, it has been found that nominalization accounts for the higher percentage for native writers, which serve to organize texts and might be the reason for their fluency and coherence.
This paper suggests that nominalization plays a crucial role in building the logical structure of medical English papers and improving its formality. The results of the analysis show that Chinese writers have significantly insufficient use of nominalization in their medical papers. Accordingly, in teaching English academic writing to Chinese, attention should be paid to the application of nominalization. The author hopes that this paper will yield some insights and contribute to the studies of grammatical metaphor and the teaching of writing medical papers in China.
Key words: Grammatical metaphor; Nominalization; English for Medical Purpose

(ABCNews) -- More than 100,000 customers are without power in Georgia as a massive ice storm barrels through the region, slowing traffic, grounding flights, and shuttering schools and businesses.
The storm churning its way up the East Coast is expected to dump up to a foot of snow on parts of the South, a region ill-prepared for such conditions. Meteorologists are predicting that Atlanta, the region's commercial and travel hub, could be covered in up to a half inch of ice.
Nearly 75,000 Atlanta residents are without power, according to Georgia Power and another 43,000 lost power in Augusta.
Thousands of flights were grounded and emergency declarations were issued in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana ahead of the storm.
Elected leaders and emergency management officials began warning people to stay off the roads, especially after two inches of snowfall caused an icy gridlock two weeks ago and left thousands stranded in vehicles overnight. It seemed many in the region around the state's capital obliged as streets and highways were uncharacteristically unclogged.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, during a news conference at the Georgia Emergency Management Agency's special operations center Tuesday evening, implored people to get somewhere safe and stay there.
"The message I really want to share is, as of midnight tonight, wherever you are, you need to plan on staying there for a while," Reed said. "The bottom line is that all of the information that we have right now suggests that we are facing an icing event that is very unusual for the metropolitan region and the state of Georgia."
The forecast drew comparisons to an ice storm in the Atlanta area in 2000 that left more than 500,000 homes and businesses without power and an epic storm in 1973 that caused an estimated 200,000 outages for several days. In 2000, damage estimates topped $35 million.
A National Weather Service memo issued today called the storm "an event of historical proportions," identifying it as "catastrophic ... crippling ... paralyzing ... choose your adjective."
More than 200 utility vehicles from surrounding states -- including Florida and North Carolina -- gathered in a parking lot near one of the grandstands at Atlanta Motor Speedway, prepared to help, as needed.
"It's certainly going to be a challenge for us. Ice is definitely different than snow," state Transportation Commissioner Keith Golden said.
Atlanta has a painful past of being ill-equipped to deal with snowy weather. Despite officials' promises after a crippling ice storm in 2011, the Jan. 28 storm proved they still had many kinks to work out.
Like state and local officials, many commuters learned their lessons from that storm.
"Last time, I was totally unprepared. I was completely blindsided," said Lisa Nadir, of Acworth, Ga., who sat in traffic for 13 hours and then spent the night in her car when the storm hit Jan. 28. "I'm going to be prepared from now on for the rest of my life."
Nadir was telecommuting from home starting Tuesday and she had kitty litter in her trunk in case she needed to put it down on icy roads for extra traction.
Around the Deep South, slick roads were causing problems. In North Texas, at least four people died in traffic accidents on icy roads –- including a Dallas firefighter who was killed when a car, sliding on the ice, knocked him off an overpass while he was trying to help a fellow driver, authorities said.
While officials remained worried about the South, the Northeast was expected to get slammed, too. Winter storm warnings expanded to include Philadelphia and New York City this morning, with those warnings lasting from midnight Thursday until 6 a.m. Friday.
The storm was expected to intensify and move up the East Coast today into tonight, with snow forecast to fall in Washington, D.C., and New York City overnight, leading to a slow, cold morning commute for the Northeast.

Pet Stories: In Your Own Words
In the summer of 1982 we were living in a mobile home while our house was being built. All of our family was there and we were gathered in the living room visiting. Because of the August heat in the mountains we had opened up the doors and windows praying to catch a slight breeze of cool air. Suddenly another visitor arrived, a little gray cat with a beautiful turquoise collar around her neck. She walked in took a swat at our Scotty dog, "Lady", drank from her bowl and then came around to greet each of us.
The following day we took her down to the club house to see if anyone had inquired about her, and posted a sign describing her and where she was. No one claimed her, so she now had a home with us. When it came to naming her I could only think of Faith, Hope or Charity. We decided upon the name Charity.
She became my close friend and companion, as I was alone for the biggest part of the week at times. When I would type or play the organ, she would jump on my lap and then up around my neck watching everything that I was doing.
She and "Lady" became close friends, too. They would sleep and eat together, and when Charity had a litter of kittens, "Lady" helped take care of them. She would help bathe them and attempt to comfort them when Chrity was away from her bed.
The entire family loved her, and she loved them. She especially loved our oldest grandson, and would snuggle up with him in bed when he would visit. She loved laying on my husband's stomach while he was sitting in his recliner.
In May of 1989 we decided to take a weekend trip to Mexico to visit some property. Before we were to leave we wanted her to have all of her shots. The vet gave her an injection for feline leukemia along with the others. Off we went in the motor home. She didn't mind riding, although I don't think it was her favorite pastime, she would sit on the headrest behind my seat and watch the traffic.
About a month after we returned home we noticed that she was becoming lethargic not wanting to eat the way she normally did. We took her to another vet and they had no idea what was wrong with her. She would just lay with her legs tucked under her day and night. We took her to yet another vet and he said it was feline leukemia, possibly caused by the vaccine. After talking for hours we decided it was best to have her put to sleep rather than suffer the way she had to be. I knelt beside her that night and told her how much we loved her, how grateful we were for the years of pleasure and love she had given to us, and that the day would come when we would all be together again. I kissed her goodbye.
The next morning my husband took her to the vet, and came home crying, carrying her collar and leash.
Her sweet spirit is still with us.

Good morning college football fans, and happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend – here are some interesting headlines you may have missed over the last several days.
- After jurors debated for more than two hours late Friday afternoon, former Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson was acquitted of his rape charges. The 20-year-old was accused following the 2011 football season.
- Oklahoma has hired former Auburn assistant Jay Boulware to coach its tight ends. Boulware was a member of Gene Chizik's national championship team in 2010.
- Nick Saban added Colorado State's Billy Napier to coach wide receivers Friday evening. Napier was an offensive analyst for the Crimson Tide in 2011.
- Robert Gillespie will replace Jay Graham as Tennessee's running backs coach. Gillespie held the same position with Oklahoma State from 2009-10 and West Virginia from 2011-12.
- Auburn coach Gus Malzahn dismissed defensive tackle Devaunte Siglar for violating team rules late Friday evening. Siglar, an upcoming senior, played in 18 games throughout his career and recorded 12 tackles.
- California reached an agreement with new head coach Sonny Dykes on Friday. The deal is reportedly worth $9.7 million over the next five years.
- Rumors suggest that Central Florida is working on a contract extension for coach George O'Learly, who has been at the helm since 2004. The Knights are 60-55 during his tenure and are moving to the Big East Conference this fall.
- Two-star linebacker Edward Williams finally signed with Tulane on Saturday, ending a prolonged process that involved his mother rejecting his decision to play for Texas Tech.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama urged lawmakers Thursday to remember the children gunned down in America and not ''get squishy'' in the face of powerful forces against gun control legislation, as supporters struggle to win over moderate Democrats before a Senate vote expected next month.
Obama, flanked by grim-faced mothers who have lost their children to guns, said Washington must do something after the tragic mass shooting in Newtown, Conn., three months ago. He called out to the families of four children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School sitting in his audience.

Last week, rumors swirled that Google would launch a new music search. Earlier today, Greg Jarboe covered Hitwise data examining how important music is to search.
Now, we've gotten confirmation that the rumors are true and data don't lie. Google is, indeed, rolling out a new music search. This update will roll out over the next day to all U.S. users.
Why the focus on music? Google says two out of the top ten searches in the U.S., according to Insights for Search.
When you get the update, you'll be able to sample music directly in the search results. Google is partnering with MySpace (which owns iLike) and Lala to provide the samples. You can search via artist, song title or even small parts of lyrics you remember.
Google is also partnering with Pandora, imeem and Rhapsody. You'll see links to these sites where you can discover new music.
Here's a screenshot per the Official Google Blog:
The Original Search Marketing Event is Back!
SES Denver (Oct 16) offers an intense day of learning all the critical aspects of search engine optimization (SEO) and paid search advertising (PPC). The mission of SES remains the same as it did from the start - to help you master being found on search engines. Register today!

We offer two ways to locate information:
One first notes a normal color, only slightly evolved, and then suddenly one is struck by the complex aromas of this wine. The aromatic volume is amazing. In the mouth it is a wine that first of all is dominated by the Cabernet. The tannins are firm, rather powerful and still hardly assimilated into the ensemble. It is the type of wine that one must wait for. The tannic and aromatic strengths are there. IT is a classic wine of a very good year for the Cabernets. Anticipate this wine to drink well now through 2020.
"Very good medium-dark red. Aromatic nose combines black cherry, leather, minerals and smoke. Sweet, penetrating, and intensely flavored; fresh and delineated. Finishes very long, with smooth, sweet tannins. This is fairly dense and backward, but avoids the hardness shown by so many '96s.Range: 90-92"

Wine Spectator
"Fully mature, with a big, fragrant bouquet of damp earth, weedy underbrush, asphalt, Asian soy, and ripe plums and cherries, this medium-bodied 1996 appears to be on a fast evolutionary track. It reveals plenty of delicious fruit, soft tannins and enough acidity to provide definition. I was surprised by how open-knit and mature this wine has become. Anticipated maturity: now-2020."

In 1664, Madame de Lestonnac bequeathed the domaine of La Mission Haut-Brion to the Peres Lazaristes, a congregation founded by Saint Vincent de Paul. The "good fathers" worked to restore their property to its rightful worth. After them, the Chiapella family (owners in the 19th century) and Woltner family (owners between 1919 and 1983) never stopped improving the vineyard and modernizing the cellars. Since 1983, the Dillon family, already owner of Chateau Haut-Brion, continues the same policy under the presidency of H.R.H. Prince Robert of Luxembourg.

Police arrested Luis Ballesteros, 25, on Tuesday, Sept. 4, on burglary and conspiracy charges in connection with the attempted burglary, though no one has been arrested for the homicide itself.
"We believe (Ballesteros) is the one who put the burglary in motion," Detective Cory Brown explained Friday, Sept. 7, adding that Ballesteros appeared to advise the shooting victim that the home was vacant.
Investigators think that 22-year-old Juan Armando Silva was killed by a resident of a home on the 1400 block of Shearwater Drive shortly after 1 a.m. Monday while the alleged shooter's parents were out of town on a camping trip, Brown said. The home where the alleged shooter lived was at 1404 Shearwater Drive, and Silva ended up being found dead on the driveway of 1400 Shearwater Drive next door, according to sheriff's officials.
Investigators still have not determined exactly where Silva was shot and where the alleged shooter was standing when he fired his gun, Brown said. The name of the alleged shooter has not been disclosed, though several neighbors have said he is 19 years old.
The sheriff's department continues to investigate the case and is still waiting on autopsy results, Brown said. The Stanislaus County District Attorney's office ultimately will decide whether to press charges, depending on whether they deem the homicide justifiable in accordance with state law.
State Penal Code 197 states that homicide is justifiable if a person is defending a home, property or person against someone who is proven to be committing a felony "by violence or surprise" or who "intends and endeavors, in a violent, riotous or tumultuous manner" to enter a home to commit violence against someone. The state code also states it is justifiable when resisting a murder or felony attempt or when avoiding great bodily injury.
Brown would not say whether Silva had a weapon on him at the time of the shooting, as the matter is still under investigation. He verified that it appeared there had been another break-in attempt prior to Monday. Someone had taken window screens off the alleged shooter's home sometime between Saturday, Sept. 1 — when most of the home's residents had left for vacation — and Sunday evening, Sept. 2, when the alleged shooter had come home, Brown said.
This past week's shooting does not appear to be related to the bust of a marijuana grow house on the same block last month, Brown said.
Anyone who has information on other burglaries that Ballesteros committed is asked to contact the sheriff's substation in Patterson at 892-5071, Brown said.

'Game of Thrones' Opening Sequence Reimagined With Social Media

Imagine no more. The Game of Thrones opening sequence just got a nifty makeover, with the show's noble houses and landmarks replaced by these tech entities: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Google, Google+, YouTube, Twitter, Snapchat and LinkedIn.

Thou comest, Autumn, heralded by the rain,
With banners, by great gales incessant fanned,
Brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand,
And stately oxen harnessed to thy wain!
Thou standest, like imperial Charlemagne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand
Outstretched with benedictions o'er the land,
Blessing the farms through all thy vast domain!
Thy shield is the red harvest moon, suspended
So long beneath the heaven's o'er-hanging eaves;
Thy steps are by the farmer's prayers attended;
Like flames upon an altar shine the sheaves;
And, following thee, in thy ovation splendid,
Thine almoner, the wind, scatters the golden leaves!

Sorry about the slow reply - I had notifications turned off, and then left the planet.
Unfortunately, I reverted my code, but here is what you can do if you want to test it out:
Open the file: Arduino-Install-Directory\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino\HID.cpp
Find the function: Keyboard_::press (and Keyboard_::release) in that file
Copy & paste that function, rename it to "press_direct", and remove the top portion of the code that tests for k >= 136, and setting modifiers, etc. Then you'll need to open USBAPI.h file, and find the class declaration for Keyboard_, and add a new function definition for your new "press_direct" function.
Sorry for not being able to just copy the code over, but this will get clobbered anytime you install a new version of the arduino code, and I'm not on the latest version.

"And he said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.'"

In today's issue, you can read a story about Zion Separate Baptist Church and their support for the Village of Nassian on Africa's Ivory Coast.
Although the congregation is fairly small, with about 70 who attend every Sunday, their donations have funded 95 percent of the construction of a new church in Nassian.
I've heard it said that golf is a good walk spoiled.
I have to say I don't agree, and although I'm not what you'd consider a good golfer, I enjoy playing from time to time.
This past week, I spent six days on the course at Valhalla Golf Club covering the PGA Championship. I got to see the best golfers in the world, and I realized just how bad my game actually is when compared to someone who plays for a living, and to be honest, that was no surprise.
"Hey, that's J.B. Holmes from Campbellsville!"
Those words were heard more often than you might think at the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club on Tuesday.
For anyone from Campbellsville, it might not seem like a big deal. After all, it's just J.B., or as most folks around town know him, John. But when you consider that he's playing on a worldwide stage, it's quite impressive that so many people are rooting for him.
I still remember it - the excitement of the first day of school.
My school supplies were ready. I had carefully picked out a backpack, pencils, notebooks and markers.
I loved milk breaks, reading and playground time. It was always nice to be in a homeroom with someone I knew, but I also enjoyed meeting new friends.
As a reporter, there are some stories you just don't want to write.
Bad stuff happens, and it's our job to report it. But that doesn't mean it's fun and we enjoy it.
I've heard people question why we have published such and such story. They've also asked why those stories have to be printed on the front page.
Green River Ministries homeless shelter board members wish to thank the 27 men and women who came to Campbellsville Country Club to play in the golf scramble.
I write to commend Miss Calen McKinney for her coverage of important matters to readers of the Central Kentucky News-Journal.
Her front-page article about Campbellsville University in the July 23 issue is an illustration of her expert journalism. Miss Calen did not report "hearsay" information, but instead did much research in order for readers to be better informed about a major issue facing all of us in Taylor County and elsewhere.

Comments about Gator GDJ-10UX6U DJ Console Rack:
I've used similar products made by SKB. I've also had good luck with several Gator cases, same as SKB mostly but a little less expensive. I thought I would give the 10x6 Gator case a try which is a close of the SKB 10x6 slant rack case.
First, the cover on the Gator is superior to that of the SKB in that there are two nice snaps on the bottom panels to hold the oversize cover in place. Second the metal rails are an improvement over the SKB rails which are part of the molded poly plastic and tend to drill out if you over tork the screws. But what gets me and I find amazing is that the Gator has no rear door. Meaning after you load up this rack, everything is exposed for all to see. I use these for DJ and Karaoke so the units are table top mounted. The SKB have doors and all is hidden. This doesn't. Other that that, a good case. If you have to have your internals hidden from view, buy the SKB for a few bucks more. Next time, I will too.

"I think a lot has changed for the better since then … I think the indigenous people of Australia can be very proud of the respect in which they are held by every Australian … I think it probably is time to move on from that."
Those stand-alone comments have been re-worded a million times since then by media, and Tony Abbot himself. And i'm sure by leftists as well. It's hard to find out what exactly that guy that got sacked texted, but i'm not sure you can say anybody protesting misinterpreted or overreacted at the actual time Damo.
People seem to think some massive protest operation was underway whereby a group of radicals had been pre-emptively gathering 'intelligence' for days over the PM and Abbott's whereabouts so they could purposefully disrupt where-ever they were going to be on Australia day.
The truth is this. The group had already staged a protest in Canberra and were winding down for the day with a barbecue at the tent embassy. 200 metres from the PM and Abbot. After the infamous text message, word got to the camp. As they were nearby, the protestors went down to ask Abbot exactly what he did mean by those comments. They were asking him to clarify, and they have every right to.
Is that an overreaction? They were ignored. Then brushed of and threatened. Then they got angry at the way they were treated, so they started making noise.
Then 'all hell' broke loose,
Well, not really. The security detail and police started intimidation strategies, formed a blue line against the entire group and started pushing people. A couple that pushed back got smashed.
While the AFP forced an 'evacuation' that was unnecessary, and made one of the most ridiculously puffed up displays you could imagine of it. They got so carried away they dragged Gillard to the ground and her shoe came off. That's the photo that made entire the front page of nearly every newspaper. The moment before the AFP knocked our PM to the ground.
They did all this purposefully to make sure the media got some exciting shots that could be construed as a 'riot'.
Julia Gillard did some playacting with her facial expression for the cameras. She is not normally scared of large crowds, she has heard yelling more times than she can remember by now as PM, she's a successful lawyer who knows the importance of every nuance involved in convincing public jurys, including body language and behaviour, and she's a hardened labor pollie who made it to PM.
She wasn't half as scared as she pretended to be. Security measures for politicians is also about propaganda, remember. Gillard was not that scared, she was however, really mad at the time.
Angry people often play victim to subjugate a situation, eliciting sympathy that affords lenience for their behaviour or the action they have taken.
There was no crowd surge toward either Gillard or Abbot at all. One Aboriginal guy that was close to Julia got pushed away, he was a photographer trying to get a shot, just like the complete swarm of media that were the only ones anywhere near the 'evacuation' line.

This whole situation really has the potential to cause massive damage on both sides.
I couldnt believe what I was watching last night. Burning and spitting on the Australian flag? REALLY?
Totally agree. This whole thing is very sad in so many ways.
That photo was the 'money shot' that was bound to cause an outrage and I have no doubt this whole situation was blown way out of proportion to get tongues wagging. Such as mine.
Was listening to talk radio the day of the flag burning and it was very interesting. Most people calling were aboriginals. I was stoked that they feel they have a voice, which up until a few years ago, most wouldn't have felt they have. My concern was every angry caller had a different perspective on the reasons behind their anger and I couldn't help but wish that they stop holding a grudge and work with us all. Was funny, because there were a couple of elders that called, expressing the very same views I have. One bloke was very emotional and angry with the flag burning, saying he had brothers that died in the war for that flag and an Australia where everyone needs to work together. His words were close to the lines of 'they got to get off their arses, and start working with the community'.
I have no grudge with a 15 year old burning a flag and spitting on it. My grudge is on those adult thugs next to her and doing nothing to discourage it. They are no different, in my eyes as to extreme white racists that cause shit. Fact is, while there is still a long way to go, the gap is closing and we are trying to make things better. This kind of stuff takes a backward step that does no good to anyone

A lot of Aboriginal people signed on for war in WW2 because they thought in doing so they could finally, and ultimately prove to white people we were all together. It backfired (pun not intended!), on them in a way that was just as damaging to our mutual relations as;
how the invasion occurred, Stolen Generation, Flora and fauna act, psuedoscientific eugenics implementation, and John Howard's systematic, ongoing and intentional disablement of most of the legislation we fought and voted 200 years to achieve legislated equity. To name a few examples.
Aboriginal men clamoured to join the Army in WW1 as well, But beside a few exceptions... ironically I think the Northern Territory allowed a 'Black Battalion', quite segregated still, but (in perhaps the most cynical and exploitative way possible under acknowledgement of their second-to-none tracking and desert skills).... they were deemed unworthy of representing Australia. Nobody was fighting the war to protect them.
Some joined WW2 because the pay was far superior to any other means for an Aboriginal person. You could send that money home to your family up until you died. That matters when you live in abject poverty and are not legally allowed to travel outside of your fringe dwelling zone to seek work, unless a white person could vouch that you already have work to go to. Just one of hundreds of 'catch 22' laws of segregation that existed.
Military service was the only way an Aboriginal person might be allowed an 'exemption certificate'.
This certificate gave Aboriginal folks human rights equal to that of a white person, and allowed them to freely move about of their own will and ask for the white pay rate (which of course would never be offered anyhow).
Most returning Aboriginal servicemen were not offered the certificate, or if they were.. it was under the condition they cease all contact with their family, cease all traditional cultural practices and beliefs, and "live like a white person', while being checked upon regularly at the mercy of the top cop in their town- who could recind the certificate at any time, for any reason.
The Vietnam war was the time Aboriginal people were freely able to sign on, which many did. But mostly men were drafted into this war, whether they liked it or not. So that was the first taste of freedom and equal rights they got. Australia decided they could join around the same time they decided to force men to go to war. Exactly the same time in history Aboriginal people finally got the vote. As we all know in hindsight, the Vietnam war was a cruel and devastating blunder that destroyed the lives of most men who returned.
That was a war, to this day, most veterans wonder what exactly it was they fought for. Not just Aboriginal servicemen and women.
The best thing anyone can say about all of this was that fighting together in a warzone was the first time white and black men spent extended periods of time in each other's company and depended on each other for survival. What do we have these days? Playing together on a footy team?
This was exponentially more meaningful than that. This was the beginnings of true white advocacy for Aboriginal people as equals, with a number of white men returning from war realising their government, their parents, their friends had been fooling them about Aboriginal people or were just completel ignorant about them.
Now look at this from an Aboriginal perspective. How many white servicemen and women kept up their friendships or contact with their Aboriginal comrades from the war years? How many times did an Aboriginal person have to stay on the other side of the street, or get completely ignored down the pub from someone that he saved during gunfire?
I think the RSL guys should give this some thought before they take the flag burnings as a personal insult.
They are directed at a government. Not you or me. That flag represents massive trauma, and complete oppression. Physical, economic, spiritual, philosophical, political.
And no, white people did not initially or generally fight to 'save' or 'protect' Aboriginal people as equals in any wars. The Australian 'way of life' they fought for specifically excluded Aboriginal people.
Aboriginal people think in many ways our government still does. Ask them why.
It could not have been made any clearer to Aboriginal people returning from fighting war in Australia (in genuine thoughts of comradeship and as a genuine gesture of friendship and acceptance of white people.. to protect the entire population as equal occupants) that the government was not fighting the war for any of them.
There was so much hope for Aboriginal people that in war we would all pull together, and it was completely shattered.
So I do have empathy, especially for all the working class and lower class white people used in Australian military service, but I do not buy for one second the RSL baby boomers using the flag to justify anger over Aboriginal protest.
Looking at all of the disgusting behaviour from people illegally modifying their cars with Australian flags, and hearing some absolute horror stories about their Flag-fuelled treatment of other Australians from non european backgrounds last week.... made me want to go out and rip that flag off them and burn it in front of their faces too.
If you take that personally, or read into it as an attack on democracy or your own family, I can only feel sorry that that is what it takes for you to get angry. Symbolism? The Australian flag does not represent freedom, democracy, or any kind of commendable culture to many people, and at times I can fully understand that. It is in serious need of a reboot.
If you are racist, then it's obvious this will be another way for you to despise Aboriginal people. I don't care if you or your uncle or dad or granny or granddad fought in a war if that is the case. You are shaming them, because if they were people with integrity and really were the people you say they were..... they fought precisely for the freedom to protest our government, question our government and society, and burn a flag if it comes to that.

Well that's commendable, but who do you think were their underpaid, second-class slaves at these times??
And what do you think the Aboriginal men who were refused service did at these times on the farms, in the mines, in the factories. At one tenth the pay rates of the white women.
Who do you really think ran the cattle musters, the Aboriginal jackaroos, or the farmer's wife??
Do you really think Aboriginal men and women were wandering around the bush blissfully unaware? Or cowering in their humpys, useless, while the white wives and girlfriends took control of industry??
Oh yeah... I certainly think there are hundreds of thousands of people who can be accused of not appreciating or respecting those who kept the rest of us alive and safe in wartime, and made this country what it is today. It's not Aboriginal people though.

Re 'the stolen generation', there was an A B C doco last year of Aboriginals from that time who claim to have not being 'stolen' or had their kids 'stolen' , rather they gave their kids away because of the dangers their children faced in their own community. A couple of them claimed this was the majority of cases.
Im not saying that's how it was but I am saying thats what i saw and you can angle any situation to fit the cause you are arguing for.
Fact is, whatever the case, it is getting better and surley the time has nearly come to get over it, accept what's happened has happened and for us all to work together to make things better.

As I said, its easy to skewer anything to work in what ever argument you want. There are fat people, gingers, poor people, people with junkie parents etc etc etc who have also had hard times growing up and are still living with unresolved issues. Bottom line is, holding onto grudges from the past will not take you forward. Nothing can change what has happened in the past and the only way to resolve these issues is to work together. The gap is closing - thats a good thing.

In my dream life I would build a house just beyond that treed hollow in the middle of this photograph. It would be a house that respected it's surroundings and to a certain extent would be off the grid - except for the essential services like broadband internet and proper toilets. Thats not really "off the grid" so perhaps just a place that is kind to the environment.
The hollow itself is full of life. I was surprised to see a hare and a multitude of birds. The bluejays seemed to be following me as I walked, treating me like some kind of interloper, singing a warning to the others who live in this small area. Other than birds singing, it's amazing just how quiet it is there. Sound travels far in the country but in this particular area it provides an amazing contrast to the industrial mechanical noise of Taiwan's cities. The noise here never lets up and the opposite seemed true there.
I wonder if the people who live in such a place truly appreciate the gift of their surroundings.

Strawberries aren't actually berries, but bananas, avocados, pumpkins and watermelons are.
It's probably rare that you hear a banana, avocado, or pumpkin referred to as a berry, but the fact is they are. It seems like people generally consider a berry to be a small fruit that comes in bunches, but in reality there are several definitions for what people call berries.
There are drupes, which are fleshy fruit produced from a single seeded ovary with a hard stony layer, like peaches, plums, and cherries. Olives also fall into this category. There are pomes, which are fruits that have a structure that separates the seeds from the ovary tissue, like apples and pears. Some of the smaller pomes are also called berries sometimes.
There are aggregate fruits like the blackberry and raspberry, which are fruits that contain seeds from different ovaries of a single flower. There are multiple fruits, which are fruits that are made from multiple flowers packed together, like the mulberry. Lastly, there are accessory fruits, where the edible part is not generated by the ovary, which includes the strawberry.
So by these definitions, a strawberry is not a berry. A berry is simply a fruit that has seeds and pulp produced from a single ovary. In addition to those already said, this includes the blueberry, coffee berry, cranberry, gooseberry, grape, persimmon, and tomato.

News and Event Details
It's always good to get advice from an expert, and that's what UW-Superior students got Thursday, Dec. 13, when alumnus Rick Sordelet dropped by to talk about show business.
Sordelet is a veteran of University Theatre who graduated in 1982. Since then he's built a career as a nationally known fight director and choreographer. In short, his job is to help actors put on a good fight without actually hurting anybody.
Sordelet was in town to speak at UW-Superior's Commencement Ceremony on Dec. 15. He took time to talk informally with a group of theatre students and faculty about his days on campus and how he got his start in fight choreography from working with Dr. Al Katz, a UW-Superior professor who was a pioneer in the art form.
He also had an opportunity to meet again with retired professors John Munsell and Stewart Platner, who were key members of the Communicating Arts Department and University Theatre during Sordelet's years on campus.
Sordelet spent a lot of time offering practical advice to students who are interested in pursuing acting, directing and other career fields. He covered everything from making connections with key people to saving money while working for that first big break.
Among his numerous credits, Sordelet has worked on more than 50 Broadway productions and several Hollywood movies. He has staged fight scenes for the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, The Royal Opera House in London, and La Scala in Milan, along with 84 different productions of "Romeo and Juliet" and 66 different productions of "Hamlet." He is the only fight director to stage a battle for a Super Bowl halftime show.
Earlier this year the UW-Superior Alumni Association presented him with its Distinguished Alumnus Award. The award is presented annually to an alumnus whose success serves as an inspiration for current and prospective students.
Sordelet holds a master of fine arts degree from Rutgers University. He teaches at The New School for Drama and The Neighborhood Playhouse, both in New York City, and the Yale School of Drama. He is a board member for The Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey, and author of the play "Buried Treasure."

I've been making this for big occasions like potlucks and parties since it first appeared in CL over a dozen years ago. I cut it into 32 pieces, though, since it's so sweet. I'm making another one tonight and will try another reviewer's suggestion to cut down the sugar in both the cake and the icing. It is less like a cake and more like a gooey brownie. It's pretty wonderful!

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- A former powerbroker in Ohio has been convicted in a corruption case that led to changes in the Cleveland-area political system.
A federal court jury in Akron convicted former Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH'-guh) County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora of 33 counts Friday, including racketeering and bribery. He was acquitted of one mail fraud count.
Dimora once led the powerful Democratic Party in Cleveland. The corruption investigation helped fuel a public vote that replaced the three-commissioner county government in Cleveland with a county executive and elected council.
The verdict caps a federal investigation that led to more than 50 convictions involving county officials, employees and contractors who traded bribes for government jobs and contracts.
