Important! My Top 5 albums are not exactly albums. Most of them are singles, but they provide me with an album's-worth of good feeling. (I'm one of those douche-bags who plays things on repeat, but I usually play these things through my headphones so that I don't bother you too much. Promise.)
Royal Headache Royal Headache
Soulful, Shambolic, Sydney... I ran out of 's' words. Whatever, this album's a fucking belter.
Mint Julep "Aviary"
I love hazy girl music. I love School of Seven Bells. This song kind of sounds like them without being them. I love that.
College "A Real Hero" feat. Electric Youth
DRIVE SOUNDTRACK. That is all.
Lykke Li Wounded Rhymes
Again, it's the girl music thing.
Wavves Life Sux EP
I am 16 and I am dangerous and I am invincible. Heh--no, no I'm not, I'm just listening to Waaves.
The Drums Portamento
I must have played this album three times a day when I first got it. It's a super feel good kind of album and my only complaint is that it didn't come out during the summer, because it would have been the perfect summer soundtrack. Top Track: "Days"
Wilco The Whole Love
As a big Wilco fan, I was really satisfied when The Whole Love came out. Another future classic for sure. Top Track: "Born Alone"
Real Estate Days
I've seen Real Estate perform a few times now and played their albums back too many times to count. The most recent performance I caught of theirs here in Philly was this past summer. They played mostly material from this album with their new arrangement (they now have a keyboard player) and it blew me away. Needless to say, I was really happy to hear those same twangy dreamy melodies again. Top Track: "Kinder Blumen"
Atlas Sound Parallax
Bradford Cox never fails to please my ears; Parallax has a nice balance of upbeat pop tunes and more spaced out reverberating tracks that are a staple of any project Cox is a part of. Since this album was just recently released, I'm hoping I can catch the band on tour playing some of this material live. Top Track: "Mona Lisa"
Beach Fossils What a Pleasure
Another band whose albums I could listen to on repeat without a care... and often do. I really enjoyed their first self-titled album and was happy to hear some new tunes from them. Their sound has a great dreamy quality to it, and not just because of the heavy reverb in the guitar, but the vocals of lead singer Dustin Payseur just melt right into the tracks. Top track: "Adversity"
Iceage New Brigade
I fell in love with these teenage punks from Copenhagen after listening to their debut album, which quickly became an instant classic in my music library. New Brigade was an album of nonstop mayhem, evoking old-school hardcore and early '80s darkwave. Best album of 2011!
M83 Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
I've pretty much been madly in love with every M83 album to date and this one was no exception. An explosive double album with all of the intense shoegazy electronica the band is known for, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming has been one of my favorites of the year.
P.S. Eliot Sadie
Unfortunately, P.S. Eliot has broken up (too soon, too soon!) but this album was a great final album. It reminds me of a lot of bands from that cool decade that I barely lived in: the '90s! It's such a great album, I'll surely miss them.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart Belong
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart is quite possibly the cutest band in Brooklyn and their music is just as cute as they are. Belong is a musical valentine for moody twee teenagers across the universe and I accept it with open arms!
Wax Idols No Future
Wax Idols is one of my favorite new bands to come out of 2011. No Future is a perfect retro pop-punk album, with a sound that falls somewhere between Poly Styrene and Joan Jett.
Motörhead The World Is Yours
Technically this came out in Dec '10 but I didn't get it until '11 so this counts! The best and loudest band ever!
Chelsea Wolfe Apokalypsis LP
I love her. Everything she does is seriously magic. It's been years since I've liked a new band this much and she is IT!
RTX Heavy Cream split 7"
Tour 7" that all came out right before RTX changed their name to Black Bananas. Second favorite band of all time. Everything Jennifer touches turns to gold.
The Doors 4 x 7" L.A. Woman box set
There is nothing I want more than this release for Record Store Day on 11/25 and there's like a 10% chance I'll actually be able to get my hands on it! Heartbreaking, but who knows.
Against Me!
White Crosses / Black Crosses
Tom is my oldest friend and still the most shredding. They just played a show in Paris and they used to play in my living room. Forever killing it.
The War On Drugs
Slave Ambient
(Secretly Canadian)
War on Drugs front man Adam Granduciel looks back on what was a pretty good year for the band—and talks about Led Zeppelin and Oprah's Book Club.
What was the best thing for you about 2011?
Touring in general and finally having the live band to a place it hadn't really been in the past. With all the touring we've done since March, it was a much more solid lineup and the instrumentation was a lot more solid. And watching it grow, learning the new stuff and kind of getting the whole thing to a different level was pretty awesome. And with touring, seeing more people come and just taking the shows up a notch.
What was the best show you played?
Portland at Bunk Bar was awesome. It was in this really big sandwich shop where they do shows, about 250 capacity, and it's really close, everyone's right up front. It was just one of those nights where there was really good energy and we played really well. The whole environment was great and we love Portland. And also, shows in Minneapolis and Chicago were good.
And also the Paradiso in Amsterdam, that was the second show of our European tour, and we have a lot of friends there. We played with Megafaun, and that was just a great night. Obviously! It's in Amsterdam.
What was the best new place you visited this past year?
We played in Sweden, in Stockholm and Malmo. That was incredible, none of us had ever been to Sweden. Stockholm is obviously beautiful and it was just crazy. Tons of people came and it was a madhouse. It was so far from any place we've ever been and to play there and have that kind of response, blew my mind.
What were some of your favorite albums of 2011?
I would say Kurt's [Vile] record was one of my favorites for sure. And this band Tammar's Visits. Philly friends, like Purling Hiss, they put out two albums this year, maybe even three. But we've done some touring with them and they're good friends of ours, and that was one of my favs. Richard Swift put a record out called Walt Wolfman and I just got a copy of it. He does all his own home-recording and has a great studio outside of Portland. Oh! The new Wooden Shjips album, and the Moon Duo record that came out this year. It's Ripley from Wooden Shjips, him and his girlfriend. And Thurston Moore's solo record is really great, I got into that a lot...
What about old albums you rediscovered this year?
Ok, that's more up my alley! There is this record from this band called The Waterboys, A Pagan Place, that came out in '83. It's amazing. We played in Europe a lot and people have told us in the past, 'Oh, you guys sound like The Waterboys.' So the last couple of tours, I've been buying any Waterboys albums I see. I've come home with like 11 of them. And A Pagan Place is definitely my favorite. I've listened to it every day for the last week. And I've been going back to old Led Zeppelin, because I read the biography.
I'm actually reading that right now.
Hammer of the Gods? Oh my god, it's nuts!
I can't figure out how much of it is true?
Even Stephen Davis said that he definitely made it a point to make them out to be rock 'n' roll gods. It's sensationalized for sure, because it seems that every night of their lives from 1970-1976 was debaucherous. Since reading that, I've gotten back into a lot of their stuff.
And the other one I have been listening to a lot is John Lennon's first solo album with Plastic Ono Band. And also Yoko Ono's album from the early '80s, Season of Glass, I got a copy in Sweden, and I listen to that a lot.
So what other books did you read this year?
The Mick Jagger unauthorized biography. That will blow your mind. It's insane. I don't know if half the stuff is true.
But in those kind of books, you don't really care.
That's the thing. I don't care, but I like to think a lot of it is true. I never really read a lot of novels, I like short stories or collections of stories. I read Gallatin Canyon by Thomas McGuane, and I reread all my old favorite Raymond Carver books. And someone gave me The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I always feel funny reading a book with an "Oprah's Book Club" sticker on the front, I don't know why.
What are you most looking forward to in 2012?
Mostly touring. We're doing a tour with Sharon Van Etten in March, and she's a friend of ours. We did one show with her before in New York, and I actually heard her new album and it's amazing. We'll do a ton of festivals in the summer. And I am looking forward to taking time to work on new songs and record them as a band. And maybe have a little down time, though I am not sure how much of that is being penciled in.

The Charles Parker papers are a collection of architectural drawings for the Grove Arcade in Asheville, North Carolina. In 1924, Charles Newton Parker (1885-1961) was hired to be the architect in the construction of the Grove Arcade, a shopping center commissioned by local multi-millionaire, E. W. (Edwin Wiley) Grove (1850-1927).
E. W. Grove made his money in the pharmaceutical business, and moved to Asheville in 1898 on doctor's orders. During his time in Asheville, Grove found an interest in civic planning and urban development. Asheville became the outlet for his new hobby, and Grove had with aspirations of improving its downtown life and transforming it into a thriving city. As his first urban development project Grove built subdivisions. These started in 1905 with Grove Park, a subdivision on the north side of town. The centerpiece of this development was the Grove Park Inn, completed in 1913. It was a high class resort, with celebrity guests such as F. Scott Fitzgerald. Other projects of Grove's included: Grovestone (a quarry and gravel factory), Grovemont (a housing community in Swannanoa), and Battery Park (a hotel).
One of the architects working on the Grove Park developments was Charles Parker. Parker was born in Hillsboro, Ohio, but moved to Asheville, North Carolina after his older brother found a job in the area with E. W. Grove. Parker never went to formal architecture school, but found his calling working at various architecture firms. Parker is known for his work designing residential homes, mostly in the revival Tudor style. After working on the Grove Park subdivision, Parker was hired by E.W. Grove to construct the Grove Arcade in 1924. Originally the structure was designed to be a five-story shopping center with a 14-story tower spanning an entire city block. For Grove, this type of building was essential to the reviving of downtown Asheville by eliminating the seedy downtown areas, and moving all the boutiques into one location. Architecturally, Parker designed the building with gothic and Tudor elements. The building is covered in glazed terra cotta and decorated with detailed engravings, and façade embellishments.
In 1927 E.W. Grove died while the Grove Arcade was still in the midst of construction. Walter P. Taylor bought the construction project and finished it in 1929. Charles Parker stayed on the job as chief architect, but alterations had to be made to the original building plan. The 14-story tower was never built due to financial reasons. Throughout the 1930s the building thrived as a shopping center set in the midst of Asheville's Golden Age. In 1942, while the United States fought in World War II, the federal government took over building and closed the shops, mandating that Grove Arcade be used for overflow governmental offices. After the war ended, the building continued to be used for office space, this time by the National Climate Center. In 1985, Asheville started plans to restore Grove Arcade to its original purpose as a shopping center. This project was completed in 2002.
The Charles Parker Papers consist of architectural drawings, notes, and correspondence. All of the architectural drawings (except for a select few) are Parker's designs, 1924-1929, of the Grove Arcade. The few that are not of the Grove Arcade are Parker's designs of area homes in the 1920s. The Grove Arcade architectural drawings fall into several different types of architectural drawings. These are: sketches, design development drawings, working drawings, and presentation drawings. The subjects of these drawings are the completed building, the exterior façade, floor plans, exterior detail elements (such as engravings), and structural engineering. In terms of material composition, the Grove Arcade architectural drawings are either graphite on tracing paper, brown prints, or watercolor on heavier paper. Besides architectural drawings, there are handwritten notes by Parker and architectural supply lists. There are also several letters written by one of Parker's clients, and a newspaper clipping advertising a Grove subdivision.

Preoperative Radiotherapy for Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigators
Why Is This Trial Important?
Surgery is the primary treatment for patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma. Often, radiotherapy is used before or after surgery to improve the outcome of patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the head and neck or in an arm or leg. However, soft tissue sarcomas may also arise in the retroperitoneum, the narrow space between the abdominal cavity (which is lined by tissue called the peritoneum) and the posterior body wall. The retroperitoneum contains organs such as the kidneys, pancreas, and adrenal glands. The benefits of adding radiotherapy to surgery for retroperitoneal sarcoma are not clear.
In this trial, researchers are testing whether radiotherapy before surgery will help patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma survive longer without relapse of their cancer. Preoperative radiotherapy is thought to be more effective and less toxic than postoperative radiotherapy for this disease.
"Radiotherapy combined with surgery is the optimal treatment for most patients with sarcoma in an extremity, but we don't know yet if this combination is superior to surgery alone for retroperitoneal sarcoma," said Dr. Pisters. "This trial is designed to definitively answer that question."

There are so many updates that take place on computers that it is hard to keep track of them. Some of the newest technology includes the peripherals and accessories that is added onto computers. The latest and greatest of this type of technology is touch screen monitors. These screens now come in many different sizes, and are both touch screen and powered by a mouse. This is a great advance considering the fact that computers are just now getting to the point where the need for a mouse is absolute thanks to smart phones.

Phones and Computers
The wave of smart phones has allowed for more technology in the palm of a hand. The result is that consumer expect faster moving, high demand response equipment that laptops and desk tops simply cannot compete with. The disclaimer regarding the touch screen movement is that there are more parts that can break on these types of devices, monitors included.
Apple has the leading edge on touch screens and smart phones, not because of the great technology and fast response times, but because of their battery life in their machines. The iPad has a battery life of 10 hours due to the unique composition that only Apple has. This technology has made makers of other brands step up and find ways to satisfy customer needs with higher power units that do not need to recharge as often.
Technology offers many benefits to users, but to find the right piece for you w
ill take time and research.

The Golden RuleJust a poem....inspired by this guy who came to our school and taught us that people are more than they appear to be. I dont cut, but i used to know people who did. This is kinda for them, telling them that they can be much more than what people at school or home or anywhere tell them they are. I hope you like it. Message and rate, please.
when, one day, she tries to save you.
You won't care the clothes he has on
when he tries to revive your son.
You won't care how big she is
when she's with your wife; delivering your kids.
You won't care who his friends are
when he pulls your body from a crumpled car.
And, believe me, they won't care about your music, your clothes, your weight, or who your friends are...
When they add another cut to their collection of scars.
They know it's not good,
they know its not right...
But because of you,
they don't sleep at night.
And this can all go away,
it can all be gone,
as long as you say
how you have done them wrong.
And another thing you should keep close to you...
Is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Iowa health insurance exchange
QHP sign-ups in Iowa double in final weeks of open enrollment
|Share this:
- By Carla Anderson
- healthinsurance.org contributor
- July 24, 2014
Obamacare enrollment in Iowa has ended for 2014. However, people who get married or divorced, change jobs, have a child or experience another qualifying event may be eligible for a special enrollment period.
Enrollment for Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) continues throughout the year. Individuals who don't have health insurance that provides "minimum essential coverage" may have to pay a penalty: $95 or one percent of income, whichever is greater.
Open enrollment for 2015 coverage through the marketplace begins Nov. 15.
Signups for qualified health plans (QHPs) in Iowa more than doubled during the final weeks of 2014 open enrollment. In total, 29,163 people enrolled in QHPs during 2014 open enrollment, and an additional 36,891 people qualified for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP.
Among Iowa residents selecting a QHP, 84 percent qualified for financial assistance, compared to 85 percent nationally. A report released in June by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed the average monthly premium, after subsidies, for Iowa consumers was $108. Among states using the federal marketplace, the average post-subsidy premium was $82.
Twenty-six percent of Iowa residents selected a bronze plan (20 percent nationally), 57 percent selected a silver plan (65 percent nationally), 12 percent selected a gold plan (9 percent nationally), 4 percent selected a platinum plan (5 percent nationally) and 2 percent selected a catastrophic plan (2 percent nationally). Twenty-six percent of Iowa enrollees were between the ages of 18 and 34.
Iowa operates a partnership exchange with the federal government. Iowa residents use the federal marketplace, HealthCare.gov, to compare and purchase coverage. The state is responsible for plan management, consumer assistance, and Medicaid eligibility determination. Iowa's plan management functions include selecting and monitoring the qualified health plans (QHP) that offer policies on the exchange. Iowa's role in consumer assistance is education and outreach, coordinating the in-person consumer assisters, and overseeing the Navigator program. The federal government manages the exchange website and call center, and funds the Navigator program.
Four insurers sold individual and family coverage for 2014 through the Iowa marketplace: Avera Health Plans, CoOportunity Health, Coventry, and Gunderson Health Plan. CoOportunity is a new consumer operated and oriented plan, formed with funding through the Affordable Care Act.
Both CoOportunity and Coventry requested rate increases for 2015: CoOportunity is requesting an average increase of 14.3 percent, and Coventry is requesting an average increase of 8.7. Wellmark, the largest insurance carrier in Iowa, announced it will not join the marketplace in 2015.
In December 2013, Iowa received a waiver for its alternative to the ACA's Medicaid expansion. Under a program called the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan, some very low-income residents would be enrolled in a state-run health plan and, in some cases, be required to pay modest premiums. Other residents with slightly higher incomes would purchase insurance through the marketplace, with premiums paid by the federal government.

TACOMA, Wash. -- When a teacher asks a question in class, he may just ask students to text him the answer.
It's part of a growing movement in school districts across the state: to allow students to use their own cell phones and mobile devices as part of the curriculum.
As soon as students step into Mason Middle School in Tacoma, the signs remind them that cell phones need to be turned off and put away. But in 7th grade Language Arts, the teacher tells the kids to do just the opposite.
"I want you to take your phone if you have it. Take it out," Mario Penalver told his students in class Monday. He is using the personal mobile devices to teach kids about advertising.
Penalver has his students look at an ad on the overheard projector, and then gives them instructions.
"Find out what audience is being used, what audience this ad is speaking to, and then text your answer," said Penalver.
The kids text their answers to a specific number, and the answers immediately appear on the overheard projector for the entire class to see.
The 30 day pilot program called "Bring Your Own Device" allows kids to use technology they already own as an added tool in class. Students who do not own a cell phone are given school issued laptops to use in class.
"The obvious advantage is everybody can get access to this stuff really quickly," said Penalver. "In fact in some cases students go faster than I am when it comes to getting up and running with a program."
"I think it's fun because usually we have to put them away, and it helps because you can go online and do surveys, or like reading is more fun," said 7th grader Ashley Dawson. "It's different using a device."
But the American Civil Liberties Union is taking a closer look at the program because of concerns over students privacy rights. In the permission slips sent home to parents it says the school reserves the right to search any device is misconduct is suspected.
"Personal devices have so much private information on them," said Jamela Debelak, Technology and Liberties Director for the ACLU, which published a manual explaining students rights when it comes to personal electronic devices.
"In general we think that any broad grant of rights for schools to search a device under any circumstances would be too great," said Debelak.
Debelak says the organization has contacted the Tacoma Public Schools district to discuss its policy and to get more information.
The district is still reviewing the policy and the program, but generally says searching a cell phone if wrongdoing is suspected is no different than searching a notebook or a locker.
"We could use their notebook, or something like that," said Michael Farmer, Instructional Technology Director for Tacoma Public Schools." It's just another tool they have for learning. There's nothing explicit about it being an electronic device."
The district also points out that having mobile devices in class also gives kids an opportunity to learn about rules and responsibilities in a digital age.
When the pilot program ends in January, the district will decide whether to implement something similar on a larger level. The program required no specific funding except the time it took staff to research and implement it, since it uses devices already owned by students in class.

RIHANNA and CHRIS BROWN have collaborated on a new song off her new album, "Unapologetic," titled "Nobodies Business."
Do you think they're sending a message to their critics?
Rihanna and her controversial ex (and rumored on-again boyfriend) Chris Brown worked on their third song together—which will be on the Barbadian songstress' new album, "Unapologetic"—months after they released their first two remixes, "Birthday Cake" and "Turn Up The Music."
And as if to let everyone know that we should all stop speculating about their "renewed" friendship, the two have titled their new track, "Nobodies Business."
The lyrics seem to say that too. It goes:
"Every touch becomes infectious, let's make out in this Lexus. There's no other love just like this … I'ma be your girl, I wanna make you mine and it ain't nobody's business."
Interesting, huh?
We honestly don't think it will work though. If anything, it only suggests that they really are hiding the fact that they're back together.

Crockpot Chicken Tacos AND Chicken Taco Soup
Who doesn't love a good twofer? Not me! I'm all for getting more for less. In this case, I was able to cook one meal that made 1.5 meals. Can't beat that!
Last week I dumped some chicken breasts, a taco seasoning packet, and a jar of salsa into a crockpot in the morning. Let it cook on low for 8 hours and came home to a house smelling of Mexican goodness! I shredded up the chicken and we had a fantastic, low point, and healthy meal! Jeremiah and I both loved it. (That is the top picture up there, by the way.) After that delicious meal, I put two cups of the chicken into a ziplock baggie and popped it into the freezer.
This week, because we weren't really digging the idea of having chicken taco anything two days in a row last week, we had the soup! We pulled the ziplock out of the freezer and defrosted it before putting it into a large soup pot. And then we added in a whole bunch of delicious ingredients including: tomatoes, corn, onion, beans, lime juice, chicken broth and lots of yummy spices. You should check out the recipe HERE for all of the important recipe info. It was incredibly easy and super delicious. And guess what? The soup (without cheese or tortillas) comes out to only THREE PP per 1 cup serving! THREEEEE! Talk about amazing!
Jeremiah and I both loved it with some low fat cheese and some tortillas on the side. It would also be great with some tortilla chips crunched up inside. It made a large quantity and we were able to set aside leftovers for today and then a few more servings to freeze! I'm totally hooked on this meal.

It is really sturdy and is able to handle my sons swings in the garage everyday. It was extremely easy to assemble and can be moved easily after use for storage. We would definitely recommend this net as a training tool for a serious ball player. January 2, 2013

In their first year, newborns grow a big way, with most tripling their birth weight and increasing their length by about 50%.
From your baby's first day, health care providers will keep track of weight, length, and head size. Growth is a good indicator of general health, and babies who are progressing well are generally healthy, while poor growth can be a sign of a problem.
Just like adults, newborns come in a range of healthy sizes. Most full-term babies (born between 37 and 40 weeks) weigh somewhere between 5 pounds 8 ounces (2,500 grams) and 8 pounds, 13 ounces (4,000 grams).
A newborn who is lighter or heavier than the average range is probably perfectly fine but might receive extra attention from the doctors and nurses after delivery just to make sure there are no problems.
A number of things can affect a baby's size at birth. The length of the pregnancy is important. Babies born at their due date or later tend to be larger than those born earlier. Babies born prematurely are often smaller than full-term babies.
Other factors include:
Premature babies generally are smaller and lighter than other newborns. A preemie's weight will be largely determined by how early he or she was born. The time the infant has missed being in the womb was growing time, so the baby has to do that growing in the outside world.
Many pre-term babies are classified as having "low birth weight" or "very low birth weight." In medical terms, "low birth weight" means a baby weighs less than 5 pounds, 8 ounces (2,500 grams) at birth. That's the case for about 1 in every 12 babies in the United States, so it's quite common. "Very low birth weight" means a baby weighs less than 3 pounds, 5 ounces (1,500 grams). Most babies with low or very low birth weight were born prematurely.
Premature babies are given special medical attention immediately after birth, and a pediatric specialist called a neonatologist may be involved in their care. Many premature babies spend time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) while they receive medical care, including feeding and observation of growth.
In the old days, a "strapping" baby with chubby cheeks and dimpled thighs was many people's picture of a healthy newborn. But a baby born much larger than average may have special medical problems that need attention.
Some exceptionally large babies, especially those born to mothers with diabetes, including gestational diabetes, may have problems for a few days keeping blood sugar levels up and may require extra feedings, or even intravenous glucose, to prevent those levels from falling too low.
Babies are born with some extra fluid, so it is perfectly normal for a newborn to drop a few ounces when that fluid is lost in the first few days of life. A healthy newborn is expected to lose 7% to 10% of the birth weight but should regain that weight by about 2 weeks after birth.
During their first month, most newborns continue to gain weight at a rate of about one ounce (30 g) per day. They generally grow in height about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.54 to 3.81 centimeters) during the first month. Many newborns go through a period of rapid growth when they are 7 to 10 days old and again at 3 and 6 weeks.
Newborns are so small, and it can be hard to know if your baby is gaining weight the way he or she should. You may worry that your baby has lost too much weight in the first few days or isn't taking enough breast milk or formula. Most likely, everything is fine. But if you are concerned at all, check with your doctor.
Being small or large at birth doesn't necessarily mean a baby will be small or large later in childhood or as an adult. Plenty of towering teenagers began life as small babies, and the biggest baby on the block can grow up to be a petite adult.
By the time they're adults, kids tend to resemble their parents in size. Genetics, as well as good nutrition and your attention, will play a large part in determining how your baby grows in the years to come.
Whether your baby starts out large, small, or in between, in the next few months you can expect your infant to keep growing fast.

This past Saturday members of the Hibbing Nordic High School Ski Team, along with citizen skiers, were at work on the ski trails out at Carey Lake in Hibbing. By the way just last week the Hibbing School Board voted to make cross country skiing an official school sport in Hibbing. It will be self supporting financially, but athletes will now be recognized by the school and be able to letter in Nordic Skiing.
Gerry and Ann work to cut back the edges of the Southern Lights Trail. If you look closely at the picture you can see the tell tale tracks of a skier. Gee I wonder who would have come out early before the trail clearing to ski?!
We had a great showing of volunteers to follow behind the brush cutters to clear the debris back into the woods. So when you ski the trails at Carey Lake this season you might notice what good shape they are in, and you can in part thank these volunteers for their work.
Remember a pass is required to ski at Carey Lake and they are available now at the Hibbing Park's office in the Memorial Building. The cost for the season is as follows:
Youth Pass - 12 and under - Free
Student Individual Pass - $15.00
Adult Individual Pass - $25.00
Family Pass - $60.00
Individual Daily Pass - $3.00 (deposit on site drop box

According to Randy Krassow, one of the club's primary board members, the Boys and Girls Club of the Valleys will serve as a safe, positive resource for the youth of Scotts Valley as well as those living in the San Lorenzo Valley.
Spurred by a pledge of $1 million from Scotts Valley residents Joe and Linda Aliberti, the club is in escrow to acquire a 1.5-acre parcel located at 5060 Scotts Valley Drive for the facility.
Krassow said the club is on the fast track for recognition with the Boys and Girls Club's national governing body, and could open as soon as spring 2013.
"(The Alibertis') gift is going to leave a legacy for generations," Krassow said.
The property is the former site of a recreational vehicle display lot, adjacent to the Scotts Valley Car Wash.
According to Krassow, the plan is to open the club in early 2013 and use the existing building as the main facility until more funding can be secured for an expansion.
"(The Boys and Girls Club is) a facility-based organization," he said. "Our plan is to be able to use the existing building while fundraising."
According to Joe Aliberti, a retired general contractor, contributing to the Boys and Girls Club was a no-brainer, having been involved with the Santa Cruz chapter of the club in a variety of roles for most of his life — including more than 20 years as a board member.
"It's a great thing for everybody," he said. "I was very successful, and we were able to put the money back into the community."
While the new center will serve youth between the ages of 7 and 18, Krassow said, the desire was to create a separate space where 14- to 18-year-olds would feel welcomed.
"We really want to focus on a teen center," he said. "Typically, a 14-year-old doesn't want to be hanging out where there's 9-year-olds."
Krassow said that while it was too early to say anything for certain, there are a variety of plans that would be considered.
One would be to develop and build a new building and house the teen center in the existing building, or to dedicate a section of the new building for teen use, with its own entrance.
A dedicated facility, Krassow said, would include an education room and a large club room for games, along with rooms for arts and crafts.
The community would be consulted extensively through open houses and public outreach before any plans would be agreed upon, Krassow said.
"I think it wouldn't be a good idea to have any concrete plans until you hear from the community," he said. "Listening to people is going to be critically important to its success."
A teen center has been something that has been sorely needed in Scotts Valley, said City Councilman Randy Johnson.
"(Having a teen center) fills such a void," Johnson said, adding that throughout his time on the council, the lack of a teen center was one of the most common concerns expressed by constituents.
Krassow said that over the next several months, the club will seek volunteer members to serve on a fundraising board. The club will also seek input from children and teens.
"Our goal is to find out what it is the kids want to see," he said.
According to Linda Aliberti, she and her husband thought to include the Boys and Girls Club in their estate planning for some time.
She described how the couple had been particularly inspired by the community support of a Boys and Girls Club chapter while driving through Bozeman, Mont.
"We couldn't wait to get back and get this thing started," Linda Aliberti said. "It's been a dream of ours for quite some time."
City Councilmember Dene Bustichi applauded the efforts of the Alibertis and the Boys and Girls Club board members.
"This is incredible for our city," he said. "It's remarkable — every time you put out a million dollars, that's a lot of support."
Mayor Donna Lind said that having a safe, structured, centralized location for youth activities would help keep youth busy and out of trouble.
"Kids are lost if you can't get them active," she said.
City Councilmember Jim Reed echoed Lind's thoughts and called for general support for the club, saying it would benefit the community down the road.
"The kids who were troubled 30 years ago are troubled adults now," he said.

The Church
For much of his reign, King John was in dispute with Pope Innocent III over the struggle to elect a new archbishop of Canterbury. When King John refused to recognise the papal nominee, Stephen Langton, the dispute intensified. In 1208 the pope placed an interdict on England prohibiting priests from celebrating mass, conducting marriages in church and burying the dead in consecrated ground. John retaliated by seizing the lands and income of the church, but in 1209 the pope excommunicated him, turning him into a spiritual outcast overnight.
By 1212, facing the threat of a French invasion, John was forced to make peace with the church. He accepted Langton as archbishop in 1213, compensated the church for the revenues he had plundered and made the pope feudal overlord of England. This capitulation after years of bitter struggle proved to be a shrewd political act that paid off for King John after he was coerced into granting Magna Carta.
Within weeks, John sent envoys to Innocent III and, before most of the charter's terms could be properly implemented, the pope declared Magna Carta null and void on 24 August 1215.

Boston Scientific enrolls first patients in U.S. trial of Lotus Valve System
Boston Scientific has initiated the REPRISE III clinical trial, a pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lotus Valve System in patients with severe aortic stenosis and who are considered to be at either high or extreme risk for surgical valve replacement. The Lotus Valve System is the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement device that is both fully repositionable and retrievable prior to release. The primary endpoints of the study are Safety; composite of all-cause mortality, stroke, life-threatening and major bleeding events, stage two or three acute kidney injury or major vascular complications at 30 days. Efficacy; composite of all-cause mortality, disabling stroke or moderate or greater paravalvular aortic regurgitation at one year following procedure.

Boston Scientific says REPRISE II data show sustained safety, performance
New data from the Boston Scientific clinical trial program of the LotusValve System continue to demonstrate strong performance as a less invasive treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are considered high risk for surgical valve replacement. Data from the REPRISE II clinical trial confirmed safety and effectiveness out to one year, with more than 86% of patients exhibiting a complete absence of paravalvular aortic regurgitation and no patients demonstrating moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation. New data from the REPRISE I and REPRISE II clinical trials were presented at the 26th Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics meeting, the annual scientific symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation. REPRISE II is an ongoing prospective, single-arm, multi-center study designed to evaluate safety and performance of the Lotus Valve System for symptomatic patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered high risk for surgical valve replacement. The study enrolled 120 patients at 14 sites in Australia, France, Germany and the UK. In REPRISE II, key one-year results include the following: Mean aortic valve pressure gradient remained low and stable at 12.6 + 5.7 mmHg. More than 86% of patients had no paravalvular aortic regurgitation by independent core lab assessment. In addition, no cases of moderate or severe paravalvular aortic regurgitation occurred. Mild and trace paravalvular aortic regurgitation rates were low at 11.4 and 2.3%, respectively. Cardiovascular mortality rate was 6.7%. Disabling stroke rate was 3.4%. No cases of non-study valve implantation, unplanned use of cardiopulmonary bypass, valve embolization, valve-in-valve or ectopic valve placement occurred.

If your soybean crop is comprised of unusually short plants this season as a result of the 2012 drought, take some extra precautions as you harvest, recommends Missy Bauer, Farm Journal associate field agronomist.
"Short beans are difficult to rake into the head, and they're often podded lower to the ground, which makes them vulnerable to loss," Bauer says.
Yield losses can mount quickly. Just four soybean seeds on every square foot of ground across an acre will add up to a 1-bu.-per-acre loss, she adds.
In the following video, Bauer offers some practical harvest tips you can use to put more soybeans in your combine grain tank this fall.

Nearly a year ago, inside linebacker Ray Lewis' foot injury sidelined him for four games and created a void of experience and leadership on the Ravens' defense.
And the Ravens dealt with that crisis by winning every game without the former NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Now, the Ravens are going to have to adjust to a new reality with Lewis out for the remainder of the season due to a torn right triceps that's expected to require surgery.
The situation is compounded by the loss of $50 million cornerback Lardarius Webb with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, a season-ending injury that will be repaired soon by Dr. James Andrews.
"We did it last year, we won every game when Ray was hurt, so we have confidence," inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe told The Baltimore Sun on Monday after learning of the severity of Lewis' injury suffered during a 31-29 win over the Dallas Cowboys. "We know what that's about. Yes, we leaned on Ray so much.
"He knows what's going on. He put us in place to make plays. At the same time, we'll be able to carry on what he started and go out there and play good football."
Plummeting to 26th in the NFL in total defense after finishing third last season, the Ravens will have to shuffle their lineup to account for the loss of two starters.
"I feel great about our guys' chances to fill in," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "That's something that we've been able to do in the past. That's what you have to be able to do. Obviously, that's going to define what we're able to accomplish this year.
"So, that's something that we are going to need to do from a leadership standpoint and from a playing standpoint. Our chances of doing it? I don't put odds on it. That's just something that we are going to have to get done."
Lewis' vacated middle linebacker position is expected to be filled partly through a committee approach. Weakside inside linebacker Jameel McClain is the top candidate to take over the bulk of Lewis' duties. If McClain shifts over to Lewis' spot, then Ellerbe can line up next to him at inside linebacker.
The Ravens also have the option of plugging in outside linebacker Albert McClellan, who played some inside linebacker last season when Lewis got hurt.
"The guys who are going to be playing are the same guys that stepped in and played last year, to a large extent," Harbaugh said. "Those guys have played a lot of football. We have a lot of confidence in those guys."
McClain, Ellerbe and McClellan are all former undrafted free agents.
A former starter as a rookie in 2009 who was beaten out the following year by McClain, Ellerbe has emerged as an important reserve this season with 28 tackles and 2.5 sacks.
"I just want to show them that I belong," Ellerbe said. "For being an undrafted guy, I want to show that hard work and determination goes a long way."
While Lewis is the Ravens' emotional leader and leads the team with 57 tackles, not having Webb is arguably a more serious problem to deal with.
At age 37, Lewis had drawn criticism for his declining range and ability to shed blocker whereas Webb is in his prime.
Webb is regarded as a shutdown cornerback capable of bottling up the most dangerous receivers.
The former third-round draft pick had eight interceptions last season, including the playoffs. This season, Webb has 25 tackles, one interception, six pass deflections, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
"It's huge to lose him," special-teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo said. "He's our biggest ball hawk. We're going to have to avoid too much of a letdown."
Webb is also arguably one of the top tacklers on a struggling defense. The Ravens allowed a franchise-record 227 rushing yards to the Cowboys, and a total of 441 rushing yards over the past two games.

LONDON -- Scientists have discovered an ancient whale whose bite ripped huge chunks of flesh out of other whales about 12 million years ago -- and they've named it after the author of ''Moby Dick.''
The prehistoric sperm whale grew up to 60 feet long, not unusual by today's standards. But unlike modern sperm whales, Leviathan melvillei, named for Herman Melville, sported vicious, tusk-like teeth some 14 inches long.
The ancient beast evidently dined on other whales, researchers said in today's issue of the journal Nature. They report finding a skull of the beast in a Peruvian desert.
The researchers named it in tribute to the 19th-century author and his classic tale of the great white whale, which includes frequent digressions on natural history that punctuate the action.
''There is a chapter about fossils,'' one of the paper's authors, Olivier Lambert of the Natural History Museum in Paris, said. ''Melville even mentions some of the fossils that I studied for my PhD thesis.''
Anthony Friscia, a paleontologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, who wasn't involved in the discovery, said scattered finds of huge fossilized teeth had long hinted at the ancient whale's existence. But without a skull to fit them in, the creature's shape, size and feeding habits remained a mystery.
''The fact that they have found the entire jaw -- well, almost the entire skull -- is what's pretty unprecedented,'' he said.
The ancient beasts ''were the killer whales of their time, although on a much grander scale,'' Friscia said. ''They were close to the biggest things around.''
Friscia said he thought the choice of a name was fantastic.
''You gotta love any time you get a nod to literature in taxonomy,'' he said. ''It was a big whale, so why not?''

The oldest and best known of charitable gifts that pay donors income for life is the charitable gift annuity described here. Charitable remainder trusts also pay donors income for life, give them an immediate income tax deduction and relief from capital gains tax.
The charitable pooled income fund is a convenient way for a donor to have the benefits of a charitable remainder trust without the larger gift required. But the charitable gift annuity is also guaranteed by the issuing charity. The payments are fixed and are completely predictable.
The charitable gift annuity allows you to make a gift to a good cause while giving you a current income tax deduction and payments for life. In this way, some donors discover they can make a far more generous future gift to the Foundation than they thought possible. This is not to say that charitable gift annuities are superior to pooled income funds or charitable remainder trusts. Everything depends on what the donor wishes to accomplish.
A gift annuity is simple to create. You fund your annuity with a gift of cash or stock. You are then paid a guaranteed fixed amount monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually for life. You must be at least 65 when the payments begin and your annuity must be created with gifts having a total value of at least $10,000.
Your gift annuity can provide payments for one or two lives. Both plans generate an immediate charitable tax deduction and partially bypass capital gains tax. In addition, part of your payment will be tax-free and all of your gift will pass to the Foundation free of estate tax.
The Foundation's gift annuity program appeals to those who prefer predictable payments to variable income. A Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital Foundation gift annuity provides fixed guaranteed payments to donors along with the satisfaction of making a significant future gift to the agency. Annuity rates vary with age. The older you are, the higher your rate. Payments once established remain the same for life.
The following are some current single-life annuity rates.
Here's an example: Mary Edwards, age 76, establishes a one-life gift annuity contract with $10,000. In exchange for her gift, the Foundation pays her $650 annually for life. $479 of her $650 payment is tax-free for eleven years. She also receives a $4,347 charitable income tax deduction.

TORONTO - Canadian broadcasting legend Brian Williams was honoured on Grey Cup Sunday with the Hugh Campbell Distinguished Leadership Award for his contributions to the Canadian Football League, the game of football and Canada's sporting culture.
"Brian Williams has contributed mightily to our league: he has covered 37 Grey Cups, bringing the excitement of our greatest game to Canadians from coast to coast to coast," said Mark Cohon, Commissioner of the Canadian Football League, as he made the presentation during the Commissioner's 100th Grey Cup Brunch.
"Brian is a student and devotee of the great game of Canadian football, and one of its greatest storytellers," he said.
"And I know he will appreciate this: when we honour Brian Williams, it's also our way of tipping our cap towards the countless writers and broadcasters who, over the long and colourful history of what will soon be 100 Grey Cup games, have made the Grey Cup an essential chapter in the Canadian storybook."
A decorated sports broadcaster for more than 30 years, Williams is heavily involved in CFL on TSN broadcasts, interviewing league newsmakers and delivering features that profile players and take fans behind the scenes.
He has also covered 12 Olympic Games, and every high profile sporting event around the globe, as well as the NHL, MLB, the PGA Tour, Canadian and World Figure Skating Championships, World Cup Skiing, Rogers Cup tennis, Forumla One, IRL, Breeders' Cup, Pan Am Games and Commonwealth Games.
Born in Winnipeg and raised in Hamilton, Williams is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame Football Reporters Wing.
"Brian, one of our most remarkable Canadian voices, is worthy of this honour, in one of the most remarkable years in the history of the Grey Cup and the CFL," Cohon said.
