A recent Pew Research Center poll revealed that most Americans would not want to live beyond 100 years, even if advances in medicine made that possible. This may seem surprising given the amount of time and money people spend on diets, exercises, supplements, and other treatments that promise increased longevity. Perhaps we suspect the fountain of youth will be tainted, that immortality would have a Faustian hitch.
In Hanya Yanagihara's fascinating and multilayered debut novel, "The People in the Trees," certain natives of Ivu' ivu, a fictional Micronesian island, live well beyond 100 years. Only those who reach the age of 60 eat the meat of a local turtle, after which their bodies remain vigorous for centuries. The problem is, their minds deteriorate rapidly, so they become, like the turtles, feeble beings encased in hardy shells. The "dreamers," as these elders are known, are banished to a remote part of the island, shunned by their mortal, but mentally sharp, kinsmen.

Should Deion Sanders get workers' comp?
The Hall of Fame cornerback who criticized concussion lawsuits from his NFL Network pulpit has been deemed 86% disabled by doctors.
In his prime, "Neon" Deion "Prime Time" Sanders juggled his NFL career with a stint in Major League Baseball, made cameos in M.C. Hammer videos and served as the inspiration for Jaime Foxx's Willie Beamen character in the 1999 film "Any Given Sunday."
On Thursday, The Los Angeles Times revealed that Sanders filed a workers' compensation claim in California in 2010, claiming he suffered head trauma and other injuries while playing with the Dallas Cowboys. During the pregame show before February's Super Bowl, however, Sanders had different thoughts about such claims as an NFL Network analyst.
"The game is a safe game," the Hall of Fame cornerback said. "I don't buy all these guys coming back with these concussions. I'm not buying all that. Half these guys are trying to make money off the deal."
Given how Sanders' compensation case is proceeding, it's likely he considers himself in the other half of that equation. In November 2010, Sanders was deemed 86% disabled by the Division of Workers' Compensation. The four doctors who examined Sanders diagnosed more than a dozen medical conditions, including cognitive impairment, behavioral/emotional disorder, arthritis and "arousal disorder" -- which is a sleep disorder that isn't nearly as humorous as it sounds.
Sanders and his agent didn't respond to requests for comment, but considering Sanders is still employed by the NFL, it may be in his best interest to toe the company line in public. The league is currently pushing legislation in California that would halt workers' compensation claims by professional athletes. In California alone, more than 4,000 former NFL players have filed workers' compensation claims that could cost the NFL as much as $1 billion to resolve. Many of those claims allege brain trauma as a result of repeated hits, which is an extremely touchy subject in the NFL given the role brain trauma played in the suicides of former NFL players Dave Duerson, Ray Easterling and Junior Seau.
Should players be entitled to such claims, given the risk inherent in their jobs? Even the NFL has tacitly admitted that might be the case. Last week, the league agreed to pay $765 million to settle federal lawsuits filed by more than 4,500 former players and their families -- including 2,300 in California. Those suits alleged that the athletes were not properly informed of the risks of brain injury in professional football.
CBSSports.com writer Pete Prisco alleged last month that players didn't deserve the settlement and should have just dealt with the consequences of their chosen profession. His argument was completely eviscerated line-by-line not only by recently returned ESPN analyst Keith Olbermann, but by the wounded and dementia-addled former NFL players including former Chicago Bears quarterback Jim McMahon and ex-Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis, who speak for themselves in his retort.
If Sanders' on-screen words sound a bit hypocritical by comparison, just know that he's not the only former player at the NFL Network treading lightly in public while suffering in private. Four other former players who now serve as on-air talent for NFL Network -- Brian Baldinger, Bucky Brooks, Willie McGinest and Darren Sharper -- have filed compensation claims that allege head or brain trauma. NFL Network analysts Marshall Faulk and Michael Irvin, meanwhile, filed similar claims and received cash settlements from their former teams in 2011.
The NFL generated $9.5 billion in revenue last season, with nearly half coming from television contracts with CBS (CBS), NBC (CMCSA), Fox (FOXA), ABC (DIS), ESPN (which backed out of a Frontline documentary about concussions in the NFL) and DirecTV (DTV). If it doesn't want to pay workers' compensation claims, it certainly can't use poverty as an excuse. It also can't have its on-air staff declaring that all is well with the league's approach to concussions and head trauma when their doctors say otherwise.
These guys are making MAJOR money...can't they put some aside for this kind of stuff?
So we are going to pay some ridiculous annual workmans comp based on his multi milion dollar salary?
I see every player going out on WC of some sort when their big contracts run out.
WOW...fund will be bankrupt VRY soon if this precedent is set.
Next he/they will want food stamps?
Why don't we ban these ultra-contact sports?
Everyone knows players are getting hurt...yet we allow them to continue.
If I go to a high risk event, they usually have me sign a waiver. Maybe these guys need to do this...since they KNOW there is a SUPER high risk of injuries.
Guess MMA fighters are gonna go out on WC, too...wrestlers...roller derby...skateboarders...
No wonder the system does not work.

Scottish Terrier
Scottish Terrier
Aberdeen Terrier, ScottieFamily: Canidae Canis lupus familiarisPhoto © Animal-World: Courtesy Justin Brough
Poised with a dignified air, the Scottish Terrier has been bred pure since the 1800's.
The Scottish Terrier, also called Aberdeen Terrier, are beloved for their charm and protectiveness. Scotties are playful as puppies, but become more sedate as adults. They become attached to their families, and they make great guard dogs.
When selecting a Scottish Terrier, it is important to ask the breeder about the possibility of genetic disorders and predispositions. They are also prone to skin and jaw problems.
Common Name(s) Scottish Terrier, Aberdeen Terrier, Scottie
Breed Type This small terrier was originally bred as a hunter of vermin, foxes and badgers. Scottish Terriers possess a dignified air about them, and are much stronger than they look. The Scottie does best in areas with cool weather.
Background The Scottish Terrier originated in Scotland, along with several other types of terriers. They were favorites of farmers and fox hunters, as well as King James VI. There has been some debate as to whether the Scottish Terrier is the original highland terrier breed, or if it originated from the Skye Terrier. It is known that the Scottie has been bred pure since the 1800's.
Description Scottish Terriers come in black, wheaten, and brindle colors. They have short legs and pricked ears, with dark eyes and large noses. They are typically 10-11 inches tall and weigh 19-23 pounds.
Care and Feeding The Scottish Terrier thrives on foods high in carbohydrates and low in protein. Poultry, mutton, and wheat are good component choices. The Scottie's wiry coat needs to be brushed regularly. Baths should be given as needed, and the dog needs trimming twice a year.
Scottish Terriers need annual checkups, and should be vaccinated as follows:
- 6-8 weeks: Distemper, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvo, and Corona virus (DHLPPC)
- 10-12 weeks: Second DHLPPC
- 14-16 weeks: Third DHLPPC and rabies
- Annually: DHLPPC and rabies booster
The breed sheds very little and is generally well behaved in the house, requiring little cleaning up after.
Housing Your Dog Scotties are great indoor dogs, and they are well suited to apartment living. They are active but not overly active when inside. They do not necessarily need a yard.
Social Behaviors Scottish Terriers may be aggressive toward other dogs unless they are introduced to them while young. They like to chase other animals. They do best with adults and older children, and are generally shy around strangers.
Handling and Training The Scottie is stubborn yet sensitive, requiring owners to be firm yet gentle in handling and training.
Activities Scottish Terriers need daily walks in addition to play time. They enjoy playing in the yard without a leash, but it is best if your yard is fenced in to keep them from running off after other animals.
Breeding/Reproduction Scottish Terriers are often confused with West Highland White Terriers, but the true Scottish Terrier is never white. This is an important distinction in breeding. Due to the breed's predisposition to health problems, it is crucial to check into a potential mate's lineage. Scotties sometimes have difficulty whelping.
Common Health Problems Common health problems in Scottish Terriers include von Willebrand's Disease (a bleeding disorder), Cushing's Syndrome (a hormone imbalance), and epilepsy. Scottie Cramp is a hereditary disorder unique to Scottish Terriers. It causes a painful change in gait when the dog is stressed. Careful monitoring of your dog and regular veterinary checkups are essential.
Availability Scottish terriers are readily available from breeders and pet shops. Average cost for puppies ranges from $500 to $750.

Everyone tries to do their best in life, but we all fall and make mistakes. We hurt others through our actions, we may use other people for our own selfish desires, and we put others down instead of lifting them up. We live in a fallen world, and sometimes it seems as though we are too wounded by our own transgressions and faults to do anything about it. There is good news though, God offers us healing for both the body and soul through the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is the Sacrament in which we lay down our faults before God, represented by the priest, and receive absolution and forgiveness from our sins. St.Ambrose commented that there are two forms of conversions through water within the Church, one being our Baptism, and the other being our tears of repentance. Sin hurts us, it damages relationships, and it can eat away at us if left to fester over the years. Reconciliation makes sense from a human point of view because the Sacrament, "Frees us and facilitates our reconciliation with others. Through such an admission man looks squarely at the sins he is guilty of, takes responsibility for them, and thereby opens himself again to God and to the communion of the Church in order to make a new future possible" (CCC 1456).
In order for a doctor to heal a patient, the patient needs to reveal their symptoms, allowing the doctor to diagnose and in turn prescribe the proper medication and treatment for the ailment. Reconciliation is just like this, only in our case the doctor is Christ Himself, represented by the priest. We reveal our "ailments" (sins) to priest, and he in turn may give us advice followed by a penance (the medicine). What makes reconciliation more powerful than any doctor visit though, is that the priest absolves us of all our sins at the conclusion of the Sacrament. This means that all of our sins are forgiven by God, our slate is wiped clean. People often say they feel weight lifted off their shoulders after Confession. This is because we acknowledge our sinfulness, we name it, and we give it over to God, and God gives us pure love and forgiveness in return.
Sometimes people feel as though their sins are "too great" for God, or that they are unworthy of forgiveness. Remember though that even St. Peter denied Jesus three times in his most critical time of need. Did Jesus reject Peter? No, instead Jesus gave Peter an opportunity to proclaim his love for Him three times on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. In the devotion of Divine Mercy, Jesus told St. Faustina, "The greater the sinner, the more right they have to my mercy." God always offers us love because God is Love. The Scriptures tells us that God will never reject a "contrite heart" (Psalm 51).
While a trip to the doctor or dentist is never a pleasing experience, we always leave better off than we came in. Reconciliation is just like that. It is not "fun" to introspectively search ourselves and bear our sins aloud, to point them out and name them. This though is what is required to start the healing process. We are never rejected by God, only accepted by Him, and through His Church we have this Sacrament through which our souls are healed of the effects of sin.
Anointing of the Sick
"Illness and suffering have always been among the gravest problems confronted in human life. In illness, man experiences his powerlessness, his limitations, and his finitude."(CCC 1500)
Living in this fallen world, we have to deal as humans with the frailty of life. Disease and health issues affect us seemingly indiscriminately with great severity. As Reconciliation deals directly at the soul, the Sacrament of Anointing looks at the whole person, specifically our bodies.
Christ had great care for the sick; many of his miracles were healings of the lame, the blind, the deaf, and many others. The Church carries on this mission of Christ through its Sacramental ministry. St. James writes in Scripture, "Is any among you sick? Let him call the elders [priests] of the Church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." As we can see this has been part of the Church's life from the very beginning. Christians have always identified with the sick and the suffering because they reflect the suffering of Christ.
Just as Christ used spittle and the laying on of hands, mud, and water; the Church uses blessed oil as a sign of the Sacrament. Oil in ancient times was used as a healing balm and had healing properties, and so it was fitting for the Church to use this symbol. Further, we are anointed with oil at our Baptism, this Sacrament again anoints us with oil, as we prepare to move from this world to the next. The Sacrament is for any member of the faithful who is seriously ill or is in old age, it is not limited to the death bed.
The Catechism lists five effects of the Sacrament:
- The uniting of the sick person to the passion of Christ
- The strengthening, peace, and courage to endure in a Christian manner the sufferings of illness or old age
- The forgiveness of sins
- The restoration of health, if it is conducive to the salvation of the soul
- The preparation for passing over to eternal life

But can I add that like Falconius says - I agree that I dont think non CC work should filter into the CWBP so as to make only part of it shareable. If you make your own stuff then share it to the CWBP as CC you can still sell it yourself as well but don't claim that bits you add to the CWBP are not CC licensed.
We had Gamerprinter who you may know well being a popular poster made a set of oriental styled maps called Kaiden which he wanted to be on an island off to the West of Ansium. I thought this was fine but he should not use the island thats there as part of the main map as a Kaiden map template. We just said to people dont map in that bit and assume that you can run Kaiden adventures there. But we didn't have modules of Kaiden appearing as part of the CWBP. I am not sure what became of it but it was useful to split that out and away from the CWBP else there would be problems.
You just cant end up with a situation where everybody pools into the project and one person monetizes it for himself so CC guarantees that it remains free and shareable for everyone.

In a game that started out well but didn't end that way, the Blackhawks lost in a shootout to St. Louis 3-2. It wasn't a breathtaking contest but it was a hard fought affair and usually those games are decided by breaks, lucky bounces and occasionally poor officiating. On Thursday evening at the United Center all three elements were involved.
In the opening period of a rather physical game, Jonathan Toews was given a slashing penalty and it was a very weak call. That infraction led to a power play goal on a beautiful screen and deflection by David Backes which tied the score at one. The Blues second goal was a combination of a lucky bounce and a bad break. Jay Bouwmeester's shot from near the blue was redirected and then the puck bounced off of Duncan Keith's stick and into the net. After the Keith own goal the score was tied at two through forty minutes.
Rookie Brandon Pirri got a chance to play and had a nice outing as he benefitted from a slick pass from Marian Hossa. Pirri did the rest as he quickly released an accurate wrist shot that went by Jaroslav Halak for his first NHL goal. The Hawks took advantage of a bad turnover by Barret Jackman and a coverage lapse as Hossa scored on a breakaway. So the Hawks did benefit from a Blues miscue and the game went into overtime tied at two.
Unlike last week's game in St. Louis, when the Hawks trailed but quickly came back to even the score, this time it was the Blues that never had a lead but stayed determined throughout.
The Blackhawks didn't have the same punch to their game after the opening period. They were not pushing as hard as the Blues, who did a better job of going north and south. As has happened before the Blackhawks were a little too cute at times, and allowed St. Louis to gain momentum.
Jackman almost ended the contest in the extra period as his shot beat Corey Crawford but hit iron. The Blues had only one shot in the OT, the Hawks recorded three as the game was then decided in the shootout.
It is a small sample but the Blackhawks will need better production out of Patrick Kane and Toews in shootouts. Joel Quenneville has tried to change the usual order of who shoots first, last night Kane did but it didn't matter.
On the season, Kane and Toews are 0-3 in shootout attempts and the Hawks would also be better off if they had a set third shooter. Patrick Sharp is 1-2 in shootouts over the past two games, maybe he is the answer but it is too early to tell. Last night all three Blackhawk shooters were blanked.
The Blues slick forward TJ Oshie solved Crawford with a nice move and the Blues were able to skate away with a shootout victory.
The Blues Backes is better than any Chicago player at setting screens as he always seems to play well versus the Blackhawks. St. Louis pressured Crawford with point shots and they worked hard to get to the net. There wasn't a great deal of difference between the two teams but the Blues deserved the extra point.
As usual the Hawks controlled the first period but they could not get a second goal past Halak. If they could have the game probably would have had a different outcome. Halak didn't start the night as sharp as he was last week in St. Louis but he got stronger and was a big factor in the Blues victory.
One could say the Blues got the better of the officiating and some fortunate bounces but there is no crying allowed in the NHL. Realistically the Hawks were on home ice and did get four power play chances but couldn't convert. So what appeared to be a night for revenge turned out to be another home ice loss.
Quenneville can't be happy with the spotty play from his squad. It's not like the Hawks are performing terribly but they aren't playing consistently well. Quenneville keeps mixing up line combinations but the team can't step on the gas when needed.
The Blackhawks are equipped to win low scoring affairs but when goals aren't scored there is no room for error. In seven games thus far, the Hawks have scored more than two goals only twice. When goals are hard to come by games can be decided by bad luck, poor officiating and shootouts. That's exactly where the Blackhawks have been for most of this season.
Quenneville will be looking for a sixty minute effort and additional scoring on Saturday night as the Maple Leafs come to town. The Hawks won't want to lose two in a row on home ice and Dave Bolland and his new mates will be trying to prove they are for real.
The Leafs have jumped out to a fast start with a 6-2 record. They should be in a foul mood after blowing a two goal lead in the third period on Thursday night in Toronto as they suffered a 3-2 loss to Carolina.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A recent study by a Vanderbilt University researcher shows that for every year a person spends behind bars, life expectancy decreases two years.
Evelyn Patterson is assistant professor of sociology at Vanderbilt. Her study, published online last month by the American Journal of Public Health, looks at New York parolees released between 1989 and 1993.
The results showed a 15.6% increase in the odds of death for parolees compared to people who had never been to prison, which translates to a 2-year decline in life expectancy for every year served inside prison.
However, Patterson said the study did reveal a small bright spot. If a prisoner serves out parole without returning to prison, the study shows he eventually gains the years back to his lifespan lost during his prison stay.

You'll have more options for 2014.
The Affordable Care Act requires most people to have health insurance starting January 1, 2014. You'll be eligible for coverage, regardless of your health history. Explore the new options that will be available to you.
Keep in mind that until 2014, some recommended plans may have application requirements, such as: medical underwriting, income limits, or may be temporarily closed to new members. Please refer to the information provided with each plan recommendation for any restrictions. And, make sure you receive confirmation of enrollment in any new plan.
Starting January 1, 2014, health plan issuers can no longer deny coverage to anyone who has a medical condition, and you won't have to pass a medical exam to qualify. Plus, the government will provide financial help for those with qualifying incomes as part of the Affordable Care Act.
No, not necessarily. The Marketplace is just one of the ways you can shop for health coverage. You can still get coverage through your employer or directly from a health plan issuer* like Kaiser Permanente. You'll have to buy coverage through the Marketplace to apply for financial assistance, however.

A season of "what ifs" produced more questions yesterday as the Tennessee Titans defeated the Ravens, 14-11, in an AFC Central game before 65,486 at Adelphia Coliseum.
Stoney Case had connected with receiver Jermaine Lewis for a possible 78-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage? What if receiver Patrick Johnson had held onto a 35-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter? What if rookie cornerback Chris McAlister hadn't been peeping into the Titans' backfield, which allowed the game-winning 27-yard touchdown pass to Yancey Thigpen midway in the third quarter? What if Ismail had gotten out of bounds after 25 yards with seven seconds left rather than ending the game with his 32-yard gain to the Titans' 41-yard line?
The answers seem to further frustrate first-year coach Brian Billick, whose 2-3 team lacks a prime-time receiver and quarterback. It was never more evident than yesterday, when the Ravens had to settle for Matt Stover field goals of 44, 46 and 50 yards against a struggling Tennessee team that was penalized 15 times for an NFL-record 212 yards.
Billick had seen improvement in the offense against Cleveland and Atlanta, but there wasn't too much to get excited about after his offense produced only 246 yards, 150 of those in the first half. The only real positive to come out of the game was that the Ravens have a bye Sunday, which will give their starting offensive tackles time to heal. Right tackle Harry Swayne didn't play yesterday after aggravating an ankle sprain during pre-game warm-ups.
Pro Bowl left offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden left the game with 9: 57 left in the first quarter after re-injuring his neck, which he sprained last week in Atlanta.
"That was a pretty good offense out there," said Billick in a tribute to his defense, which held Tennessee (4-1) to 272 yards of offense. "Our defense put us in position to offensively have an impact on the game. But we had a few dropped passes and missed some assignments. It's frustrating, very frustrating, but I'm not going to slit my wrist, beat my dog or burn down my house. We're going to keep working and clean this thing up."
There is not much to clean up defensively. The Ravens held Eddie George, one of the league's premier running backs, to 55 yards on 20 carries. Despite not registering a sack, the Ravens stifled one of the league's top passing games for only 216 yards as Titans quarterback Neil O'Donnell completed 24 of 35 passes.
But Tennessee isolated on McAlister, who was making his first pro start. McAlister played well, making four tackles and knocking down one pass, but he gave up the touchdown pass to Thigpen down the right sideline with 7: 23 left in the third quarter. That put Tennessee ahead, 14-9, which proved to be enough to win.
Thigpen, one of the AFC's top receivers, said the route was simple and so was the move. He had McAlister beat by 10 to 15 yards on a stutter-and-go that left McAlister standing around the 20-yard line.
"I kind of stuttered at about 12 yards and he bit on it," Thigpen said. "I gave him a little bait and he took the bait."
McAlister said: "They told me that if I see the quarterback throw the pass, then I'll see him complete the touchdown. I saw him complete the touchdown. It was just a stutter-and-go. It was also a bad move by an undisciplined cornerback."
Those things can be corrected. The Ravens' undermanned offense is a different story. The Ravens had a solid running game considering they were missing two starting offensive linemen. But they converted on only six of 17 third-down situations and had only five second-half points despite having possessions that started at their 35-, 36- and 43-yard lines.
This was not a strong effort by Case. He completed eight of 18 passes for 116 yards in the first half, but was 7-for-19 in the second for only 91 yards. This could have been a coming-out party for Case because he was playing against a top-notch defense for the first time in three starts.
Instead, Tennessee put seven or eight players around the line of scrimmage to control running back Errict Rhett (59 yards on 21 attempts) and dared Case to beat the Titans with his arm.
Case will see a similar strategy on Oct. 21 when the Kansas City Chiefs come to town.
"Some good things, some bad things," Case said about his performance. "I definitely would like to have some throws back and some reads back. But we had a chance at the end of winning, and that's what you want."
The Ravens had chances earlier in the second half. But Johnson dropped a possible touchdown pass over the middle in the end zone with 11 minutes left in the third quarter. The Ravens were eventually forced into a 50-yard field goal by Stover, which gave them a 9-7 lead. But the Ravens could have been up 13-7.
"I had it, then the dude fell on me and pulled it out," Johnson said. "Actually, I thought I had it long enough for the touchdown. But I should have made the play."

The Sun's senior vice president and director of content, who was 49, essentially grew up at her hometown paper, joining it as a college intern and rising through its reporting and editing ranks. She led The Sun to regional Newspaper of the Year honors during the past two years and spearheaded new print and digital sections while building on its tradition of investigative journalism.
"She was a friend and mentor to many here, and I will miss her both as a colleague and a friend."
Taking the helm three years ago, Ms. Corey led almost 200 journalists at The Sun and its community newspapers and magazines during challenging times. Fiercely devoted to the newspaper that she grew up reading as the youngest of three sisters in Cockeysville, she steadied the newsroom as the industry was contracting and adjusting to a new media landscape.
Perhaps most personally meaningful for her was the return in 2010 of the Sun Magazine, 14 years after it ceased publication — Ms. Corey got her start in journalism at the magazine while still a student at what is now Notre Dame of Maryland University. The magazine's editor at the time, Susan Baer, spoke at a class there. Ms. Corey met her and boldly followed up with a phone call asking for an internship.
"We had a small staff and didn't have any internship position, but I was so struck by her initiative — and something about her that was so impressive — that I convinced my supervisor to let her come on," said Ms. Baer, a longtime Sun journalist and now a writer in Washington. "It was obvious right from the start that Mary was something special. She was bright and funny and spunky and so incredibly likable. And she had this spark — just full of enthusiasm. She brightened up the place. It was clear to everyone that she had a great career in front of her."
Ms. Baer also became a close friend, part of a circle of women who orbited around Ms. Corey. Over the years, they celebrated each other's weddings, pregnancies and promotions, and provided solace during the inevitable heartbreaks, illnesses and losses.
"I've so often marveled at her seemingly infinite capacity for friendship," said her friend and former editor Jan Warrington. "It seemed boundless. She was the friend we always wanted to have, the friend we always wanted to be."
Ms. Warrington, a psychologist who formerly headed The Sun's features department, hired Ms. Corey as an editorial assistant in 1987 but soon promoted her to reporter. Ms. Corey covered Baltimore's dining scene, profiled newsmakers and celebrities, and served a tour as fashion writer.
It was a fulfillment of dreams that began early: She worked at the student newspaper at Dulaney High School, coincidentally with someone she would later write about in The Sun: Spike Gjerde, chef and owner of Woodberry Kitchen in Hampden.
"She was a very smart, wise person," Mr. Gjerde said, remembering her as "the adult in the room" with her less mature classmates. "Even back then she made that kind of impression."
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake called Ms. Corey "a trailblazer in her profession." She said Ms. Corey "was committed to the Baltimore region and was one of the few editors of a major metropolitan newspaper to have the unique opportunity to lead her hometown paper that she grew up reading. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary, her family and all her colleagues at The Baltimore Sun."
Ms. Corey became a national correspondent in 1997, covering such stories as the murder of designer Gianni Versace in Miami and co-authoring a series on the children of civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.
"I think there was this innate curiosity about people and why they did what they did," said Sandy Banisky, a former Sun editor and friend, "whether these people were local restaurant people or New York fashion designers or politicians."
Ms. Corey had a keen eye for trends and developed a reputation for hard work and dogged persistence. As an editor and manager, she proved skillful at balancing both budgets and people, finding resources to undertake ambitious projects and getting the most out of the staff.
Over the years, Ms. Corey rose from deputy national editor to assistant managing editor for features, becoming a juror on the Pulitzer Prize panel that selected the feature writing winner. In 2009, she was named head of print and a year later took the top job of director of content.
Her rise may have seemed improbable to those who saw only her good-natured personality. But those closest to her knew that she was both kind-hearted and clear-eyed.
"Mary was a steel magnolia — her warmth, charm and beguiling demeanor helped her succeed as a journalist and as a person, but those traits also masked her inner toughness, which drove her to succeed and also face the daunting challenges that came her way," said her friend and former colleague, Rebecca Corbett, senior enterprise editor at The New York Times.

Following his mid-day press conference at Brookhaven Town Hall to address snow removal problems across the Town, Supervisor Ed Romaine met individually with members of the media to take specific questions on Brookhaven's response to this past weekend's blizzard.
During his press conference, Romaine apologized to residents for the Town's poor performance in clearing streets of upwards of three feet of snow that fell in parts of Brookhaven. But the supervisor also pinned blame for the poor response on a lack of leadership in the highway department.
Here, Romaine address specific questions about his being on vacation during the blizzard, what went wrong with the snow removal effort and what needs to change going forward.
Q. Why not just come back [from Jamaica]?
Ed Romaine: First off all day Friday or Saturday, I don't know if you could have gotten any flights.
Q. You said you hadn't taken a vacation in two years, but are newly elected as supervisor of Brookhaven. Many private sector employees do not get vacation time right away in a new job. Could you explain your vacation policy?
ER: Our vacation policy is you normally get two weeks a year. This Town Board, and I'll say it again, meets every week - every week. We normally have a meeting on Tuesday night one week, or work session on Thursday afternoon the following week. So you don't get an opportunity to put six or seven days together.
This was the one week that did not happen, which is why not only myself but I think two other members of the Town Board had scheduled vacations. We do not wish to miss a work session or Town Board [meetings]; we take that very seriously."
Q: Did you anticipate people would be this angry with you?
ER: I think considering the damage the storm did people would be angry. They don't have someone to focus in on such as our acting highway superintendent, who was not appointed by me but by the [previous] Highway Superintendent. I said we have to get some change in leadership here. We are having an election on March 5, so there is an acting highway superintendent. Part of the aggravation is some of the backdrop of that election, which is unfortunate. Our focus should be on getting the job done.
Q: Councilman Dan Panico was appointed deputy supervisor after you came into office and some implied he may not have had sufficient experience. How would you rate his performance?
ER: I think his performance was excellent. He did a very good job. He kept me constantly posted. He opened our emergency operations center at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. He declared a state of emergency at 6:30 p.m Friday. He updated me and was able to reach out to other municipalities and get the equipment we needed that eventually helped us turn the corner.
By Monday evening, 90 to 95 percent of the roads in Brookhaven were passable. The shame of it is there were still people who had to wait until Tuesday or later to get it done. That's something we cannot allow to happen again because I did not have direct control or supervision, neither does the Town Board or the highway department.
I've been in office two and a half months and haven't had the opportunity to do that review. I am hoping the new highway superintendent will work with me to make sure this never happens again."
Q: If you could do it all over again, would you have gone on vacation?
ER: Absolutely not. I would not go away. This is not something you want to miss, you don't want to do this. You also don't want to start it. I wanted to stay in contact and have control and direction over what we were going to do.
Q: You spoke of putting a GPS system and other systems into the highway department. Do you have any reason to feel the crews did not work optimally or may have negligent?
ER: Absolutely not. I think the men and women of the highway department have given it their best effort but what they need is better direction.
If you have GPS you can use computerized tracking and have communication systems that tie in with the Town. I hate to see their efforts wasted. Many of them worked hard and many of them worked three or four days without sleep. So you can't fault them for lack of effort, but I think they need better direction.
I am certainly willing to work with the highway department to make sure they have the tools to do the job."
Q: How concerned are you in the next election people might take it out on you at the ballot box?
ER: I'm not concerned at all because my focus is not on getting re-elected. When you concentrate as a politician on the next election, you do yourself and your constituents a tremendous disservice.
You should be concentrating on the job that you are doing every day, that's what I do. Let the consequences fall where they may, whether fair or unfair. My job is to concentrate on what my job is: being supervisor and doing everything I can to add to the benefit of the residents of Brookhaven.
Do I feel terrible that this happened? Absolutely. Do I accept the responsibility? I have to accept some because there's no one else to accept it.
What I am going to say is not only do I accept it — I accept responsibility to try to set this right. I hope that our next highway superintendent, whoever it is going to be, will work with me doing that.

Author Salman Rushdie and Tamil-Telugu-Hindi actor Siddharth get along like a house on fire. The unlikely friendship started during the casting of Deepa Mehta's adaptation of Rushdie's Midnight's Children and now
continues although the film is over.
For the role in Deepa Mehta's Midnight's Children Siddharth was the author Salman Rushdie's personal choice.
Says Siddharth, `Salman says my character Shiva is very special. He is an iconic character in the novel.I always considered Saleem Sinai one of the greatest heroes in literature. And for a great hero one needs some kind of a foil. I play that foil
. I don't have the kind of space in the novel or the script that Saleem Sinai has.But I find my character very fascinating.For me to work with Deepa is a dream-come-true.
She's mother-figure and a best friend.I love to her bits.That lady is cathartic.And let's not kid ourselves, Midnight's Children is the 'Booker Of Bookers'. To be part of it is an honour. Nothing like that is being done in Indian cinema.`

The point here is the embracing of the 10 man raiding format and giving it a true progression path spanning several instances. The two instances in BC, just wasn't enough content to support a 10 man raiding guild. This new format will be perfect for my group.
This change will motivate me to reactivate my account. Our 10 man group went into cold storage due to the lack of 10 man content after ZA, and this promise of true 10 man progression that we can all play through together will bring us back, in force, for sure.
I don't care if it steps on a few "hardcore" toes. 1+ year of Karazhan runs was hell. Thanks for the change Blizz! /clap /victory

Trident Inn Galley wins top honors
The Trident Inn Galley at Naval Base Kitsap - Bangor won the prestigious Captain Edward F. Ney Memorial Award in the Small General Mess category.
The annual awards for outstanding food service were established in 1958 and are co-sponsored by the International Food Service Executives Association.
"This is the most prestigious award a food service team could ever win in their career, and we can now say we are one of the best military and civilian teams in the Navy," said Chief Warrant Officer Eric Van Hofwegen, NBK food services officer. "I am very proud of all of them. It is huge win for each and every one of them."
Captain Ney was head of the subsistence division of the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts between 1940 and 1945, and the awards encourage excellence in Navy Food Service programs with the objective of improving the quality of life for Navy personnel.
"When you win it, everyone wins and shares the moment with you," continued Van Hofwegen. "It gives my team a tremendous sense of accomplishment knowing the Sailors and Marines who we support every day are getting the best food and customer service possible. That means more than anything to us, and it is our part of our command mission."

Dealing with Colic
How to de-stress after all of Baby's crying
Before I had my daughter Lainey, I never understood how a person could harm an innocent baby, especially their very own. After my colic experience, I was still sickened by these unsettling news events, but could unfortunately understand a bit better.
You see, no one ever told me that I had a one in five chance of having a baby that would not stop crying. And no one ever prepared me for how upsetting this would be. So when I started to have ill thoughts towards my baby, I was sure I was the worst mother in the world.
From Doting to Indifference
When Lainey was born, she slept in a bassinet that I kept pulled up next to my bed so that I could be close to her, checking to see that her little chest was moving up and down whenever she slept. I even went so far as to put a movement monitor under the bassinet pad that would set off an alarm should she ever stop breathing.
After she turned colicky on me, though, I began pushing her bassinet farther and farther away from my bed and no longer compulsively checked to see whether or not she was breathing every time she napped. I know it may not sound that bad to you, but to my obsessive-compulsive self, my failure to check up on my baby was horrendous! This was only the beginning.
It was when Lainey was about six weeks old that I started to care less whether or not I was dead or alive. And, as I would hold Lainey in my arms at night trying to console her, trying to get her to sleep, I envisioned me holding her up and shouting, "What the hell is wrong with you? Why won't you stop crying? Can't you see you're driving me crazy?"
Actually, I think I did mention these thoughts to her in passing, not that she knew what I was saying at the time. I took her cries so personally, like an attack on my mothering skills. Didn't she know how much I loved her? If she did, why did she act like she hated me all of the time?
Ever since I was a little girl, all I ever wanted was to be a mother. And, when I graduated pharmacy school, I was seven months pregnant with my first child, second pregnancy. I had miscarried my first baby, right around the time of 9-11. My baby was needed up in heaven to comfort all the souls that ascended on that dreadful day. When I first saw blood, I felt in my heart that something was wrong. That was one of the most depressing events of my life. Losing a child, no matter how young, is the worst pain a mother can ever experience.
It was therefore with great glee that I announced the birth of both of my girls (Lainey has an older sister, Leah). I was overcome with joy and thankfulness with each of their births. So when my perfect little baby Lainey turned into a gassy little fuss bucket, I was completely floored.

CAIRO (AP) — Security forces backed by armored vehicles and helicopters on Monday stormed a town south of Cairo that had been held for over two months by militants loyal to the ousted Islamist president, swiftly taking control despite some resistance from gunmen.
The pre-dawn operation to retake Dalga in Minya province underlined the resolve of the military-backed government to pursue Islamic militants behind a wave of violence in several parts of the country following the ouster of Mohammed Morsi in a popularly backed July 3 military coup. Minya in particular suffered a collapse of security, with militants torching and looting courthouses, churches, local government buildings and police stations.
Army troops are also going after militants in the strategic Sinai Peninsula where attacks on security forces have grown more frequent, and deadlier, since Morsi's ouster.
Dalga, some 300 kilometers (190 miles) south of Cairo, attracted nationwide attention because militants there threw out the local police force and took over the town after Morsi's ouster. Supporters of the deposed president have been touting Dalga as a place where opposition to the coup is universal. The pro-government media, however, has been urging authorities to assert its authority and rid the town of "terrorists."
Many of Dalga's minority Christians, about 20,000 of the town's 120,000 residents, have been paying militants for their protection. One of two churches torched by the militants in August is thought to be 1,600 years old. Remains of revered clerics buried in the church were exhumed and scattered and ancient icons were taken away. Holes were also dug into church grounds by people seeking buried treasure.
Local activists Adel Shafiq in Dalga and Ezzat Ibrahim in nearby Malawi said a joint force of army and police entered Dalga before dawn on Monday. Their arrival, they said, was followed by about 10 minutes of intense gunfire, followed by sporadic bursts of heavy shooting as government forces began house-to-house searches to arrest militants.
A total of 88 suspected militants were arrested out of a list of 312 wanted men, according to security officials in Minya. Two army helicopters were flying low over the town as forces sealed off all entrances and ordered residents to stay indoors, according to the activists and security officials.
The officials said around 11 people were injured by birdshot or treated for tear gas inhalation during the clashes.
However, many of the town's top Islamists appear to have fled just before the start of the operation, the security officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
Father Ioannis of the town's Coptic Orthodox church said many residents knew the operation was imminent from the night before and that Islamists used loudspeakers on mosque minarets to warn of an assault hours before it began.
"I live above a bakery and people waiting in line late last night were saying the army was coming in at dawn," he said. He suggested that residents farming land on the west side of the town may have seen troops and armor massing in the area, and the news spread.
"I am so happy and relieved they are here, anyway," he said.
Minya's security chief, Osamah Mutwali, said army troops and police were in complete control of the town and would remain there until law and order were fully restored.
Soon after the forces entered the town, hundreds of Morsi supporters tried to stage a protest march but they were quickly dispersed by the forces' use of tear gas, according to the activists and Islamist activist Mohammed El-Dalgawi.
The official Web site of the Freedom and Justice party, the political arm of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood, said authorities rounded up at least 200 people at Dalga and that 125 others were injured. It claimed that helicopter gunships were randomly strafing homes in the town. El-Daglawi made a similar claim.
The Brotherhood's party said those arrested were being held at the town's main mosque.
Militants had seized Dalga, located on the edge of the Nile Valley bordering the western desert, by driving out police, part of the general collapse of security in Minya after Morsi's removal. Angry mobs torched and looted dozens of churches across the south, with Minya suffering the most.
When The Associated Press visited Dalga earlier this month, the church dating back to the 4th century was a blackened shell, with the remains of revered clerics strewn around the interior and "Egypt is Islamic" painted on its inside walls. The church is part of the ancient Virgin Mary and Saint Abraam monastery.
Armed militants were visible on many of Dalga's streets during the visit, and Morsi supporters held daily demonstrations outside the police station calling for the ousted president's reinstatement. Christians in Dalga say militants demanded money in exchange for their protection, a practice harkening back to a long abandoned tax called "jizyah" collected from non-Muslims.
The security officials said the 88 arrested Monday included members of the Gamaa Islamiya, a militant group that is a close ally of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood. The Gamaa led the insurgency against the government in the 1990s and is blamed for a series of high-profile assassinations at the time along with the killing of wealthy Christians and western tourists.
Minya is a Gamaa stronghold and was a heartland of the 1990s insurgency. It is also home to the largest Christian community in any of Egypt's provinces — about 35 percent of its estimated 4.5 million residents. Christians account for about 10 percent of the population nationwide.
Associated Press reporter Mamdouh Thabet contributed to this story from Assiut, Egypt.
