Senator Mark Begich today held an Oceans Subcommittee Field Hearing on Arctic shipping and development issues.
He said the grounding of a Royal Dutch Shell drilling barge was a shipping accident, not a drilling accident.
The senator said the incident underscores the need to address challenges posed by additional maritime traffic in the Bering Sea and arctic Ocean.
According to Begich, the state faces greater risks from increasing ship traffic than offshore drilling in the Arctic marine environment.
At the hearing in Anchorage, Coast Guard Rear Admiral Thomas Ostebo said there were 15 other search and rescue operations on December 31 when the Shell vessel ran aground near Kodiak.

As we pack ever more computing power onto pocket telephones and tool around town in our hybrid cars, we can be excused for thinking that modern technology is taking us to wild new places. But it's nothing compared to what happened to people in the late 19th century. A coal-powered world began to hum with the strange new power of electricity. Distances that once took months to cross via covered wagon were suddenly a few days away by train—or a few moments by telegraph.
It was a time of excitement about technology, but also a time of anxiety. Rosalind Williams, a historian of technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has made a career of studying the relationship between science and the society around it. In her new book, "The Triumph of Human Empire," she takes a close look at the works of three writers who lived through the changes of the 19th century—Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson, and William Morris—to explore the worry that began to simmer below the surface of an age of unprecedented scientific discovery.

Welcome to Chalybeate Springs Ministry!
Just as our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, so too a great resurrection is happening within our ministry!
We know that Christ Has Always Loved You (you just may not have known it!). This treatment program is designed to transforming the lives of the men who enter our door. We understand God creates change, if we knock on His door and ask.
"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." (1 John 4:16 NKJV).

Now that she has apparently won re-election without the backing of the Republican Party, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is in debt to nobody -- besides the revolving-door K Street lobbyists and government contractors who financed her write-in campaign.
As her write-in votes surpassed the votes for Republican nominee Joe Miller this week, Murkowski asserted her independence from the party.
Murkowski told the press she feels liberated because she won "not because I came as my party's nominee but because a very, very wide range of Alaskans of all political stripes have stepped up and said 'you're the person we want to represent us in Washington.' " The Hill newspaper reported, "Murkowski said her 'backbone is stiffer, straighter' " from winning as a write-in.
And how is Murkowski standing up to the GOP bosses? By rejecting the party's earmark ban and promising to pork up spending bills with parochial, unauthorized pet projects that, no doubt, will help her political allies.
Murkowski has repeatedly said this week she will continue to request earmarks, justifying them because Alaska is a "young" state (a "young state" that takes five dollars in spending for every dollar in taxes it sends to Washington, according to the Cato Institute).
Murkowksi points out that the Republican Senate Conference rule banning earmarks has no real enforcement mechanism, and says she'll chose Alaska over the party.
But Murkowski's earmarking shows us that pork isn't about helping out the home state as much as it's about rewarding political donors and greasing the gears of the political patronage machine.
The "Alaska Mafia," as it's known on Capitol Hill, K Street, and in the 49th state, is a network of former aides to Murkowksi, her father, Frank, the late Sen. Ted Stevens, and Rep. Don Young -- all Republicans. The aides now populate K Street firms like Van Ness Feldman, BlueWater Strategies, and Birch & Horton, winning earmarks and special favors for their clients -- Alaska towns and privileged Alaska Native Corporations.
Lobbyist Jack Ferguson, a former aide to Young and Stevens, is regarded as a don of the Alaska Mafia and a maestro at winning earmarks. This is the underappreciated part of earmarks and part of why they are so corrupting: Earmarks don't just transfer wealth from taxpayers in the lower 48 to people of Kenai, Alaska. Along the way, they enrich revolving-door lobbyists who recycle the money back to Murkowksi and Young.
And earmarks aren't the only favors passed around the Alaska Mafia. When K Street firm Brown & Rudnick announced Wednesday it had hired Murkowski's former chief of staff and Stevens alumnus George Lowe, the firm touted that its new lobbyist had, as a staffer, "helped pass legislation regarding financial incentives ... for an Alaska gas line project."
Most lucrative for the Murkowksi-Stevens-Young crowd, though, are the Alaska Native Corporations. The for-profit businesses are exempt from most competition rules for government contracts, and so they make billions of dollars off of the taxpayers. But the ANCs, which qualify for special minority-business favors, often function as front companies, passing the actual work to well-established contractors who couldn't have received as favorable terms from Uncle Sam.
The ANCs are technically owned by Alaska Natives, but the Natives get a tiny fraction of the companies' revenues -- $615 per Native annually, according to the office of Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. Most of the spoils go to the Alaska Mafiosi who run the companies or lobby for them.
When you realize how dependent on federal favors these Alaska-connected corporations, local politicians, and lobbyists are, it's clear why they went to the mat to save Murkowski after she lost the primary in August -- especially because Miller is a limited-government conservative.
If Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision allowing corporate spending on politics, affected the outcome of one race this year, it was Murkowski's. Eight ANCs poured $50,000 to $140,000 directly from their corporate treasuries into a "Super PAC" called "Alaskans Standing Together," which spent $920,000 attacking Miller and boosting Murkowski. Because the Natives are the shareholders of the ANCs, this amounted to corporate bosses (the highest paid of whom are non-Native) using Natives' money to elect the woman who would then perpetuate the favor factory for these corporations and their lobbyists.
The media loves political independents and deifies "centrists." But often, centrists of both parties are simply those who lack principal and instead set their political compass according to what is politically expedient or what helps their friends.
Expect Murkowski, as she bucks the GOP over the next six years, to get plenty of adulation. And expect her friends to get plenty of your money.

I so agree with you Phil. What were they thinking? Everyone under the age of 25 ( and a lot of us older tech loving social savvy change agents) wouldn't even know how to do just one thing at a time. I'm pretty sure my 14 yr old daughter would become catonic if she had to complete her homework without 6 things going at the same time.
I guess the risk of not being first out of the gate was greater than the risk of no multi-tasking. I'm with you. I'm waiting for OS 4.0. Just in time for Christmas

MMA's new name: Everenceby Everett J. Thomas
Print Article Email to a Friend
Mennonite Mutual Aid, which prefers to be called MMA, will have a new name: Everence. The name will also be used by the Mennonite Financial Federal Credit Union. The target date for the name change is Nov. 1. MMA and MFFCU leaders announced the name change and introduced the new logo in a press conference on March 25 but embargoed the news until March 31 so they could send letters to their members first.
MMA president Larry Miller during the unveiling of the new name to MMA staff. Photo provided.
"Everence is a reminder of words like reverence, forever, permanence, and everlasting," MMA's president Larry Miller said."It is a reminder of our foundation of faith and our connection to the church, which is extremely important to us and is not changing. The new logo is primarily inspired by a vine. A vine is a prominent image in the New Testament that often signifies the interconnected nature of community. It speaks to how we are an organization that is building a community of members dedicated to the traditional Anabaptist understanding of stewardship. And you may also notice that the way the vine is shaped creates the image of a cross."
MMA told the Mennonite Church USA Executive Board on Feb. 18 that it planned to unveil a new corporate identity and name "that brings together all parts of MMA into a unified brand." Among the reasons: MMA members are confused by the variety of names currently being used; Mennonites no longer seek out other Mennonites to do business with as they did two generations ago; as an organization that works with multiple denominations, the word "Mennonite" is both a positive and a negative; in Internet search engines, the acronym "MMA" has been taken over by Mixed Martial Arts.
According to Miller, the name Everence Financial will be used as the overall name for the organization, and Everence will be applied to many of the organizations facets.
• Mennonite Financial Federal Credit Union will become Everence Federal Credit Union
• MMA's retail insurance and securities offices will be known as Everence Financial Advisors
• MMA Trust Company will become Everence Trust Company Mennonite Foundation will become Mennonite Foundation, A Division of Everence Financial
Mennonite Retirement Trust and The Corinthian Plan are programs of Mennonite Church USA, and their names will not be changed. They will be administered by Everence.

One panel of one issue of The Incredible Hulk every day for a year
Incredible Hulk #247
By Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema
Published May 1980
Hulk stops shrinking and is back on Jarella's home planet, but things are different. Instead of being lush and green, it is a barren wasteland. He hears Jarella's people screaming and rushes to save them from a flying bat-dragon. They try to speak to him, but he leaps away and returns with Jarella's body.
The wizards of Jarella's tribe cast a spell so Hulk can understand them and vice versa. They recap the last time Hulk visited—I'm not sure if this is a calling card of Bill Mantlo's writing or of the convoluted continuity of Marvel in the late 70's and early 80's—ending with Hulk smashing the microscope slide with the tissue sample that contained Jarella's world. As a result of that smashing, Jarella's planet was knocked out of orbit and was jostled around, creating chaos. Nothing will grow anymore except in the Sacred Valley of Life, which is where they take dead bodies.
Hulk takes Jarella's body into the valley but the rest of her people refuse to follow, saying it is too dangerous. Hulk starts to bury Jarella, but is attacked by creatures of the valley, who are following the command of a man who calls himself the Gardener.
Elsewhere, Doc Samson takes the catatonic General Ross hunting, and Betty returns to Gamma Base with Fred the Hippie and Rick Jones to yell at Talbot for dooming the Hulk.

Bejun Mehta
Bejun Mehta (born June 29, 1968) is an American countertenor who performs in operas, recitals and concerts.
Early life and family[edit]
Mehta was born June 29, 1968 in Laurinburg, North Carolina, and grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan.[1] His father, Dady Mehta, a pianist born in Shanghai, China of Indian parents, is a cousin of conductor Zubin Mehta. His father was professor of piano at Eastern Michigan University. His mother, Martha Ritchey Mehta of Altoona, Pennsylvania, was a soprano and journalist who worked in the development office of the University of Michigan Museum of Art, and she was Mehta's first voice teacher.[2][3] His brother, Navroj Mehta, is a violinist, and the artistic director of the Ventura Music Festival.
Early musical career[edit]
From the ages of nine through fifteen, Mehta was a solo boy soprano in concerts and recordings. Of his CD for the Delos label in 1983 (Bejun DE 3019), Leonard Bernstein commented, "It is hard to believe the richness and maturity of musical understanding in this adolescent boy."[2][3] He was named by the magazine Stereo Review as the Debut Recording Artist of the Year.[2]
After his voice changed, Mehta studied the cello, both as a soloist and orchestral player, studying with Aldo Parisot at Yale University. Mehta graduated from Yale University with a degree in German literature.[1] Concurrently he completed an internship at Delos, where he had recorded as a boy. This led to his working with many artists as an independent recording producer for labels such as Sony/CBS, BMG/RCA, Deutsche Grammophon, and Delos. His production of Janos Starker's final recording of Bach's Cello Suites (BMG/RCA 61436) won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra).[2][4]
Mehta had attempted for several years to sing as a baritone, without much success. "I was average, just average," he says.[5] He became intrigued with idea that he might actually be a countertenor, after reading a 1997 New Yorker profile of the countertenor David Daniels, whose early experiences seemed to mirror his own. He began to experiment with singing in this range.[6]
In 1998, Marilyn Horne, who had known of his boy soprano work, offered him sponsorship through the Marilyn Horne Foundation, an organization which works to develop new talent and preserve the art of song recital. He made his operatic debut as a countertenor that same year, cast as Armindo in a New York City Opera production of Partenope by Handel. Two months later he substituted for David Daniels when the latter fell ill on an international concert tour.[7]
Countertenor career[edit]
Mehta has appeared in leading roles in many opera houses,including Covent Garden, Bayerische Staatsoper, Opéra National de Paris, Théâtre du Châtelet, La Scala, Theater an der Wien, Berliner Staatsoper, Théatre de la Monnaie, Netherlands Opera, Barcelona Liceu, Teatro Real in Madrid, Metropolitan Opera, Chicago Lyric Opera, Los Angeles Opera, San Francisco Opera, and New York City Opera. He has performed at the festivals of Salzburg, Glyndebourne, Edinburgh, Aix-en-Provence, and Verbier, and at the London BBC Proms.[8]
Mehta's operatic roles include, among many others: Orlando in Orlando, Tamerlano in Tamerlano, Giulio Cesare in Giulio Cesare, Bertarido in Rodelinda, Orfeo in Orfeo ed Euridice, Telemaco in Telemaco, Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Farnace in Mitridate, Didymus in Theodora, Hamor in Jephtha, Cyrus in Belshazzar, Arsamenes in Xerxes, Andronico in Tamerlano, Radamisto in Radamisto, Riccardo Primo in Riccardo Primo, Arsace in Partenope, Masha in Eötvös's Three Sisters, Ottone in Agrippina, and Emone in Antigone.
His orchestral concert work and recital partnership with pianist Julius Drake, in programs ranging from the Baroque to contemporary music, have been presented at leading concert venues including the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Wiener Konzerthaus, Brussels' Palais des Beaux Arts, the Wigmore Hall, Carnegie Hall, Zankel Hall, the 92nd Street Y, Bremen Musikfest, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Teatro de la Zarzuela's Ciclo de Lied in Madrid, the San Sebastian Festival, and the Cité de la Musique in Paris.[9]
Bejun Mehta has been profiled by CBS (60 Minutes II), A&E (Breakfast with the Arts), ORF 2 (Austria), Arte (France), and ARD (Germany). He was nominated for the Olivier Award for his portrayal of Orlando at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. His main voice teachers have been Phyllis Curtin of Boston University (baritone) and Joan Patenaude-Yarnell of the Manhattan School of Music and Curtis Institute (countertenor).
The British composer George Benjamin wrote a lead role for him in his opera Written on Skin, which premiered in 2012 at Aix-en-Provence. In 2013 he gave a "visceral and beautifully-sung performance" in the world premiere recording of that opera.[10]
Bejun Mehta currently records for Harmonia Mundi. His recording of Handel arias, Ombra Cara, with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra led by René Jacobs, was awarded with the Echo Klassik 2011 as opera recording of the year.[citation needed] His recording of Agrippina was awarded BBC Music Magazine's 2012 Opera Award and nominated for a Grammy as Best Opera Recording of the Year.[citation needed] His CD of Theodora was nominated for the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik.[citation needed] His CD Che Puro Ciel, a selection of arias from Reform Operas, with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and René Jacobs, was released November 2013 and was awarded the Diamant D'Opera Magazine.[citation needed]

Glen Rice Jr'.s often stormy basketball career at Georgia Tech is over. Coach Brian Gregory dismissed him from the team less than a week after the season ended and a day after a report of a criminal charge against him surfaced.
"There are certain standards that have to be met both on and off the court, and there has to be accountability when those standards aren't met," Gregory said in a statement. "I'm disappointed that we have to take this action."
The action does not come as a surprise. Rice began the season, Gregory's first, suspended for the first three games and then finished the season suspended for the final six games. Rice can complete the semester at Tech and may transfer after that. He has one year of eligibility remaining, but would have to sit out a year if he were to transfer to another Division I school.
Rice came to Tech from Walton High, part of a highly-regarded signing class that also included Derrick Favors, Mfon Udofia, Kammeon Holsey, Daniel Miller and Brian Oliver. The group went to the NCAA tournament as freshmen but went 13-18 in 2010-11, resulting in coach Paul Hewitt's firing. The Jackets finished 11-20 this season, Gregory's first. Favors left Tech after one season for the NBA and Oliver transferred to Seton Hall last summer.
Rice, Tech's leading scorer and rebounder this season, was on shaky ground with the team even prior to Gregory's hire last March. Hewitt benched Rice for the final five games of the 2010-11 season for disciplinary reasons. Gregory suspended him for the first three games of this season for violating team rules and then suspended him following the Wake Forest game Feb. 15. He did not practice or play with the team from that point forward.
Rice's father, Glen Rice, was an NBA star who won a national championship at Michigan.

What is "Midnite Mausoleum" you might be asking yourself, well if you are you have come to exactly the right place. Here you will find synopsis's of our program, what people are saying about Midnite Mausoleum and possibly even a streaming episode or two!
What People are Saying:
"Wickedly Funny!"
"Marlena Midnite is the most delicious, crazy, cadaver who has ever attempted to take over the world with puppets!!"
"Next time I am bringing more popcorn!"
"A delightful, albeit insane, romp into the lives of the most bizarre group of "people" who have ever hosted horror and sci-fi movies..."
"A perfect balance of psychotic people/puppets and cheesy old flicks."
"Reminds me of the Horror Hosts of the old days like Sammy Terry and Svengoolie."
"My kids won't go to bed with out hearing a story about Marlena, Robyn and the Puppets!"
Getting up to Speed:
Way back in the 1930's there was a lovely, young, up and coming starlet named Marlena Midnite who was known for her trademark rose colored eyes. Sadly, one Christmas morning all that would change when she was tragically struck by an automobile while leaving a night club in the wee hours of the morning. As she had no known family, a standard autopsy was preformed and her body was to be donated to science... but Ms. Midnite had other plans!
Upon meeting the grim reaper who was suppose to ferry her soul to the other side, Marlena used her "Gift of gab" to persuade him that if he "let her slide, this one time" she would happily make him as famous as she was going to be before her untimely demise. The reaper, being accustom to hearing things like this from cadavers being as most of them had little to no brain left, glossed it over and tried to ignore it but there was something different about this one and so he reluctantly agreed, but with a set of rules of his own.
Grimms the grim reaper escorted Ms. Midnite to her new digs (which happen to be an abandoned mausoleum) and informed her she could do what ever she wanted she just couldn't leave the mausoleum grounds unless she was escorted by him. So with that in mind she set to work making herself some servants and friends from whatever she could find laying around. After a couple decades of hard work no one could even tell Marlena was undead as long as she kept her scar covered, and over the years it has gotten easier and easier to blend in, especially with the ever growing popularity of tattooing.
So now armed with the friendship of 3 puppets (one of which she believes to be a "real" were-pire or vam-wolf), a hypnotic royal cat mummy, a rather grumpy grim reaper, a slightly eccentric mail-girl, and a new lease on life (LITERALLY!) she has set out to make her mark on the world!
After nearly 100 years everything has seemingly come together finally as the widely acclaimed television program "Midnite Mausoleum" is featured on more then 40 channels across the U.S. and chronicles the wacky adventures of Marlena, Robyn, Grimms, Wolfred, and Franklin as they watch whatever movies they can find and eat their own weight in popcorn in nearly every episode!

Since that night we are very sexually satisfied and happy. And we still love each other very much. Perhaps even stronger than before. That's why we promote this kind of Relationship.

HypnoSynergy = Inner + Outer Balance
Barbara now offers SOUL KEY HYPNOSIS to help you easily & effectively "reboot" & recharge at the Soul Level!
Soul Keys sessions blend guided imagery, hypnosis and relaxation techniques with Past Life Therapy and empowering inner tools to help you upgrade subconscious and superconscious energy while taking an "inner vacation"!
In your customized Soul Keys session, you can receive life and soul guidance to help you heal, resolve and evolve current life issues &/or past life influences! If you wish, you can also visit your Life Between Lives for deeper spiritual insights and exploration!
What is it like? Camille Leon (founder/executive director of the Holistic Chambers of Commerce) shared that her first Soul Key Hypnosis experience with Barbara was: "…a deep journey through the highest levels of my soul's imagination… an unveiling of rich new layers about to be revealed, with many doors available to access. Thank you!"
Max Wellspring (transformational catalyst, life/business coach, Akashic Records Certified Practitioner and creator of the Trust Your Life Experience, http://trustyourlife.com) found her personal Soul Keys environment to be "familiar but different from the Akashic Records." She considers Soul Key Hypnosis to be highly complimentary with working in the Akashic Records. After her first SK session with Barbara, Max noticed how Soul Keys Hypnosis "can propel things that need to be cleared out" and shared that it "brought everything together at a time of transition."
Soul Keys sessions are available in person (or via Skype) and can be recorded for your later review. Initial sessions typically last 3-4 hours; additional sessions during the same year are generally 1-3 hours. Discounted multi-session packages and customized coaching programs (in which sessions may include Akashic Records work, Archetypal Tarot, Energy Astrology or other meta-transformational tools as needed) are available for ongoing Life&Soul Evolution — call Barbara to discuss your needs and goals.
Call for rates, scheduling, info: 818-415-3479
Hypnotherapy & Guided Imagery are empowering therapies for recharging your life by upgrading your mental programming from the inside out.
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind where your body relaxes, your mental focus narrows and your suggestibility heightens to make your subconscious more accessible.
With the help of a trained hypnotherapist like Barbara, you can easily access and effectively replace old negative thinking and reaction patterns with new positive associations. Hypnosis actively releases unconscious blocks to your conscious desires and creates increased physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. You'll discover more positive energy and motivation in your everyday life to help you fulfill your goals without inner resistance!
You are always in control during hypnosis. Because it's a natural brain-wave state between sleep and full alertness, you remain aware of your environment and hear all suggestions made to you. Rest assured that you will never do or say anything incompatible with your ethics and beliefs while in a hypnotic relaxed state.
Guided imagery is a common Hypnosis technique ~ and one of Barbara's specialties! Listen to this free Guided Imagery process recorded by Barbara to discover how good it feels to nourish yourself from the inside out (click to listen online or right-click to download as MP3):
Life Balance Coaching connects you more powerfully with every part of your life. With Barbara's personalized guidance and support, you can boost positive energy to achieve your goals, attract new opportunities, and enjoy life to the fullest. You will also become more resilient in handling life's challenges as you discover new ways to recharge your own energy day by day.
Using intuitive tools like Energy-Astrology and Archetypal Tarot plus Quantum Physics concepts and Breakthrough Coaching techniques, Barbara can help you learn fresh ways to create and maintain Life Balance with more ease and joy.

Timeline: Decision Day for Occupy Toronto
From the judge's decision at 9 a.m. to soccer at 1 a.m., yesterday's rollercoaster ride at Occupy Toronto.
Yesterday was full of fraught moments for Occupy Toronto, beginning at 9 a.m. when Ontario Superior Court Justice David Brown released his decision on the camp, finding that the City of Toronto could proceed with removing the camp if it chose. The mayor gave a press conference, as did church officials, and bylaw officers paid another visit to St. James to deliver more eviction notices. Midnight came and went without incident, however, and today the camp, though smaller, is still there.

ST. PAUL, Minn. This month could be a crucial test for Ramsey County's new 911 center.
Call volumes tend to be 25 percent higher in July in Minnesota than in December, and, with some workers already describing the county's Emergency Communications Center as ailing, some question whether it can keep up.

The study reports that 71% of U.S. consumers plan to use some sort of mobile data service daily. I'm actually really surprised that number is so high. Even more surprising is that 29% of non-users plan to engage mobile Internet services over the next two years.
What exactly are users using mobile Internet for?
- 71% are using data services to connect to the Internet
- 61% are using data services for email
- 56% are using data services for multimedia messaging services
Social networking is also a primary driver in mobile Internet usage. With more and more users joining Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites, they are quickly turning to their mobile phones to access these services wherever they are.
As we continue to see the mobile market grow, business owners should be heavily working on marketing plans that are prepared to engage mobile audiences.

4-Year-Old Shows Up Useless Grandma & Saves Her Brother's Life
There are two kinds of people in this world, I've come to believe: The kind who stay calm in an emergency, and the kind who panic and fall to pieces and make whatever the emergency happens to be even more of a bummer. And apparently age has nothing to do with which category a person falls into, as 4-year-old Grace Varley of Amityville, New York, recently proved.
Because when Grace's 2-year-old brother Myles nearly choked on a chicken nugget, it wasn't their grandmother who saved the day. Nope. See, "Nana" falls into that useless-in-an-emergency category. So when Myles started choking and couldn't breathe, she freaked out, picked him up, and ran outside, screaming for help, much like a (choking hazard) chicken with her head cut off.
Good think Grace kept her wits about her, at least ...
Remembering a recent safety lesson from her prekindergarten class, the cool little cucumber simply picked up the phone and dialed 911.
"My brother's not moving," she told dispatchers (who later commented on the little girl's remarkable composure).
More from The Stir: 9-Year-Old Does CPR on Toddler Sister, Saves Her Life
Well, Myles is moving now!
Thanks to his quick-thinking sister and the paramedics who sped to the scene, Myles is just fine. (Not-so-much thanks to grandma, sorry to say.)
As for Grace? "I'm a hero," she informed reporters. Indeed!
Won't it be incredible to see what this little girl does in life? Think about it: If you take on the role of "hero" at 4 years old, you're probably going to set some pretty lofty goals for yourself. Said mom Alison:
"Grace surprises us constantly. She's far better than I could ever be, and that's all you ever really hope for your children."
Or your grandchildren. Right, Nana?
Do you have someone in your family who's useless in emergencies?

It is so hard to predict how you will act in an emergency! The stress is so high and so sudden, and panic is by definition something that you can't exactly control. I'm so glad this little girl was there to help.

dearg76May 21, 2012 at 3:34 PM
Thank God for this sweet little girl!
I have to day that my sister and I have always been a bit accident prone,she is way worse than i am!. But my mom is not good in an emergency at all, similar to the granny in this story my mom just freaks. (Christmas tree caught on fire (too close to the fireplace and it was knocked over) my mom throws the box of icicles on it, you know the tree decorations not real ones) Fire got bigger. My sister getting a third degree burn on hand from putting it down on the electric burner - she didn't know it had just been on- mom running outside screaming Ash's hand was melting off - really scared my sister who was 9 or 10 at the time. things like that. Some people really aren't good at keeping a cool head in an emergency.

MomLily67May 21, 2012 at 4:07 PM
I agree, you can not predict how you will react. I once helped a choking baby who's mom just started crying, but who knows what I would have done if it was mine. I just hope there is someone near that reacts better than me.

my sister is a mess in emergencies. She just breaks down into tears. I however am the "fix it now, break down later" type. I have been in a lot of emergency situations (lots of siblings. lol) and I handle the situation as best i can and then usually break down hours later when the stress finally takes over my emotions. I can't believe this 4 year old had the composure to call 911 when grandma didn't. That is incredible

SaphireLizMay 22, 2012 at 2:02 PMMy kids r 6 2 and 5 month and thankfully the worst we have had so far are stomach flus but when they initialy barf all over I get flustered and have to stop, breath and take in steps which needs to be taken care of first which is the child then I go to cleaning up the mess and if they hurl again while cleaning I stop take care of who ever hurls and go back to cleaning. My hubby is the best in medical situations/ emergancies b/c he can remain calm and it also helps he is an EMT, so he jumps right in while I'm trying to figure it all out

WallyMay 22, 2012 at 8:33 PMMyles is my godson and "Nana" is my aunt and godmother. She is a well educated woman and a retired school teacher. She ran next door to a neighbor who happens to be an EMT.. Maybe you should get all the facts

bazjackMay 30, 2012 at 12:22 AM
My mom is a nurse and totally cool in the face of actual emergencies that she can control, but when she can't do anything, she kind of freaks out. We were driving up a mountain with a lot of steep switchbacks in a lightning storm once, and she kept screaming at the top of her lungs. My very young sister had burrowed her head into my side and was sobbing hysterically. I don't know how Dad didn't drive off the road from it.
Many years later, she and my sister were on a plane that hit turbulence. They went straight down for about three seconds and sis asks, "What's happening?" Mom screams, "We're going to die!"
Thankfully Mom only loses it in situations we can all laugh about later.

Thoughts, Questions and Things that make you go Hmmm
Al Cimaglia | May 23, 2012 | Comments 2
On Sunday, when Los Angeles dropped a 2-0 decision to the Coyotes, Kings head coach Darryl Sutter wasn't happy. He was especially upset with his power play.
In postgame comments, Sutter called out his point men for not getting shots on goal. Sutter didn't pull any punches, which is his way for the most part, and mentioned his players need to avoid getting their shots blocked.
Keep in my mind, at that time the Kings were ahead three games to one in the series, but Sutter still went out of his way to call out some players.
I wonder how many defensemen last season had more of their own shots blocked than Duncan Keith?
If memory serves me correctly, Joel Quenneville never publicly put the onus on Keith to get his shot through to the net. Different strokes for different coaches but players who are given the privilege of playing on the power play have to perform. Sutter certainly realizes the same.
By winning every playoff series so efficiently, the Kings should have a big advantage over whomever they play from the East.
Not to split hairs but…
Although the Blackhawks are at the top of the NHL in average attendance, which is close to 21,500 per game, this seemed a bit odd.
When the Hawks faced the Blues at the United Center on February 19 the attendance was 22,077, one of the larger crowds of the season.
Facing elimination in Game 6 the UC crowd was 21,636, which at the time struck me as being a little low. Maybe it is only matter of playoff tickets being more expensive and Coyote fans not traveling very well.
Possibly fan interest dropped off after the Hawks fell behind three games to one. Or maybe there is no significance in having a larger crowd in February than for a playoff elimination game. Either way, the attendance for next season will be interesting to keep an eye on.
Adding to an anxious off summer for the Blackhawks is the real concern regarding Marian Hossa's condition. It has been speculated Hossa suffered a serious concussion after the vicious cheap shot be Phoenix forward Raffie Torres.
Even if Hossa returns 100 percent healthy for training camp, which is not a given, there is no telling what lingering psychological effects will remain. Hossa is 33-years-old and commented he has never had the same type of head injury before. Not only might Hossa's long-term health be in question but it will be interesting to see if he can be the same dominant player once again.
Many were waiting for the Blackhawks to make an official statement in regards to the off season antics of Patrick Kane. Unless Kane is charged with a crime or requires some sort of treatment, most likely the Hawks won't be issuing any statement. There is a school of thought which is used in politics and applies here. Never try to defend what doesn't need to be defended.
Apparently because Kane wasn't arrested and charged with a crime the Blackhawks probably think it is best to not say anything. There will be fans who look at not issuing a comment as trying to ignore the situation and in some ways that would be correct. Others who die out political fires and handle such awkward public situations for a living would concur with Hawks management.

Voyaging is either stimulating if you happen to take a trip just for fun or dull and hard if you travel for business.
Regardless, I prefer to travel for the least sum of money. Don't get me wrong, I really don't necessarily like to travel low-priced, having said that I do have to get the best bargain for my flight and my accommodation. Not much can make me more upset than understanding the guy adjacent to me in the airplane has paid only 1 / 2 of the price for the ticket while I paid top dollar. And viceversa, if I know Manged to get a good deal with the hotel (spending 70% or maybe 80% less than the "normal" guests) I like my stay a great deal more.
I used to go wild researching rates, opening ten or more travel providers' web-sites merely to get the best deal. It could take me several hours over several days. Sometimes I would get back to a package I had noted down to order it, just to discover that while waiting the spot had gone.
So, nowadays, I really do it considerably more sophisticated, more relaxed. I remain one site and merely watch them carry out the researching and searching. They hold a relationship to the major and most important travel arrangers and hotel room and flight bookers and query their online data sources when I make a search. So rather than me visiting each one of these sites, they do that all for me and report back the ideal hotels and best deals.
I'm able to search based on country, region, hotel room, establish exactly what I am looking for (beach, features, smoking, etc. etc.) and after a couple of brief moments they return a wonderful set of hotels which are still obtainable. I sort this list for price tag or suggestions or distance to the target, etc.
A few moments later I realize I have the ideal offer and will make my booking straight away. I am forwarded to the reserving agent (that takes another 3 seconds roughly) where I close the deal.
This is such a game changer, I never ever spend a lot of time using the pc any longer losing my time. Instead I go in, search and book. Finished!
You'd like to know where one can obtain that service? I tell you: –>>
Have a great time!
I say when the Hawks go on road trips next season we call it "Voyaging".

Idea: The human brain is currently evolving by adapting to electronic based high frequency cycles.
One of the human brain's main tasks is to always be synched to environmental cycles and reoccurring patterns. Jeff Hawkins describes our brain as a pattern recognition machine with a pattern memory attached. He describes the brain as a prediction machine that is constantly synched to environmental cycles and patterns (reality) in his TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_hawkins_on_how_brain_science_will_change_computing.html.
Recently emerging environmental patterns that are practically affecting human survival are industrial and electronic frequency cycles. The brain is now actively adapting to these cycles on a conscious level. There is the potential for humans to create tools that operate using these cycles in a proactive way. Consider this: a desktop computer can function at incredible frequencies for certain processes, yet has bottlenecks of multiple orders of magnitude in difference. A human computer user can become much more efficient at using this high frequency tool if the bottlenecks are reduced in magnitude.
Kwabena Boahen describes the bottlenecks in modern computers and their inefficiency when compared with human brain processing in his talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/kwabena_boahen_on_a_computer_that_works_like_the_brain.html
Personally, as a computer programer, this back and forward between high frequency thinking and low frequency beach balling is forcing me to always have a backup device ready to maintain my attention focused at high frequency in case of a bottleneck event. My brain hates having to go from mach 10 to hitting a bring wall so i help it by giving it alternative high frequency opportunities during the slowdown. Also, children born being exposed to high frequency cycles on a conscious level all the time are basically training their brains to work at these frequencies. This is either an opportunity or a handicap depending on the context.

Nov 14 2012: Not too long ago I was a physics student who had to concentrate through 3 hours of lectures every morning, but in the past 2 years maybe I've spent a lot of my time using computers and working with children (I'm a teacher working in Korea). Very recently I've noticed that I find it incredibly difficult to concentrate on one thing for any length of time. I realised this about myself after becoming frustrated with some students who could not pay attention for (honestly) less than 10minutes.
The children here all have iPads and when at home spend most of their time on computers, as do I. Undoubtedly modern technology is allowing us to access information and operate our brains at a high frequency. However, I believe it may also be having a huge impact on our ability to work efficiently and at the right pace when we're not using a screen. What do you think of this? Have you any suggestions for this "problem"/change in behaviour?
Nov 14 2012: That is a good question. What we are witnessing is a split in frequency usage of the brain, as you mentioned. The low-frequency patterns are more deeply embedded in our physiology. It's the same thing that happened during the Industrial revolution. We created machines that were efficient based on their output and material constitution but where detrimental to and physically incompatible with their operators, resulting in a miserable existence for the poor people who were stuck working them in factories. What we need is a compromise: we need to be better at switching between the 2 frequencies, or we need to pick one and abstract the other using intermediary tools and interfaces. For example, i'm a coder, i hate typing and i prefer writing more efficient shorter lines of code rather then verbose long paragraphs of code. Let the robots do the hard work, and let me control the robots using interfaces that fit my physiology better. For us older folks, the robots would do the high frequency stuff. For younger people, i suspect they would rather have the robots do the slow frequency stuff.

Yum! Yum! We were at PX a couple weeks ago and enjoyed ourselves some YUMMY cocktails…this one sounds excellent!
When the majority of your Christmas gifts look like this…
You can either: A. Do some major self-reflection B. Seek professional help C. Make one hell of a cocktail When in doubt, always pick C, right? Let's be honest. There was no doubt. Although popular, liquor wasn't the only gift I received this Christmas. What's a better gift than booze? I wasn't sure either…until I opened my immersion blender. How did I not already have one of these? It's not often I plan recipes around kitchen equipment, but I was so excited, I had to use it now. I had ideas for all different kinds of soups and smoothies, but then, under the Christmas tree, I saw the many bottles of liquor, a set of new martini glasses, and the blender. Soup? No. Cocktail? Yes. Santa wanted me to. I knew just the drink I would attempt. A few months ago
I got a text from a friend: "Have you been to PX Lounge? It's supposed to be one of the best cocktail bars in America according to GQ magazine." Sadly, I had never heard of this place, never mind enjoyed a cocktail there. But coincidentally, we had dinner reservations at Restaurant Eve shortly after that text. To my very pleasant surprise, Restaurant Eve and PX Lounge share a special someone, Mr. Todd Thrasher, a man who has definitely surpassed the label of "bartender" and is justifiably titled "mixologist." It's not often that a mixed drink outshines the meal, but it happened. I don't remember what I ate, all I remember is that I had the most delicious mixed drink ever. The flavors were a perfect mixture of bourbon, pear, vanilla and ginger. And here I've attempted to make my own version. Pear and ginger smoothly blended into a vanilla bean simple syrup and mixed with bourbon. This isn't a Jack and Coke. There's no soda gun. There's an immersion blender. This is mixology. Not a bourbon drinker? That's ok, I still like you…but try it. This just might convert you. It's that good. Having a New Year's Party? Make this your signature drink and the night's entertainment of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve might seem more enjoyable. No, I take that back, it's not a magic potion, but it's sure to ease the pain, or any pain for that matter. So put the bottle opener away bartender, and let your inner "mixologist" shine! Cheers.
Pear "Sauce" Ingredients: (makes one drink) 2 ounces Bourbon 1 ounce simple syrup, recipe follows 1/2 ounce bitters Directions: Shake all ingredients over ice and pour into a martini glass. Enjoy with a pear garnish. Vanilla Pear Simple Syrup Ingredients: 1-2 pears (I used two of the smaller Bartletts (green ones) above) 1 cup water 1 cup sugar 1/2 a vanilla bean 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger Directions:
you'd rather this be more of an "on the rocks" mixed drink, add some pear juice which can be found in the juice isle at most grocery stores. I found it in juice box form. I made a cocktail with a juice box. Everyone should make a cocktail with a juice box.
Yum! Yum! We were at PX a couple weeks ago and enjoyed ourselves some YUMMY cocktails…this one sounds excellent!
The only thing that I love more than your recipes are your photographs. The first is my favorite. I'm expecting this treat to be waiting for me the next time I visit the M.i.N. kitchen. Happy New Year!!
Thanks. It reminded me, Don & I have bottles of Crown Royal in the pantry from last xmas. We received boxes of pears this xmas. Good idea! Need to crack open one of those bottles & give the recipe a try.
I've seen pear cocktails on menus, but never even considered making my own! How fancy and delicious!

Its very mechanism, though, should remind us to be wary. As the North Carolina researchers point out, any compound that can influence nerve function is, by definition, risky. Research tells us that pepper spray acts as a potent inflammatory agent. It amplifies allergic sensitivities, it irritates and damages eyes, membranes, bronchial airways, the stomach lining – basically what it touches. It works by causing pain – and, as we know, pain is the body warning us of an injury.

Rain canceled the All State Music Festival's annual parade Wednesday, but the rest of the shows will go on.
Hundreds of Vermont's top young musicians have gathered for the 86th annual festival.
One of the events is a parade through Winooski, but rain canceled the 1.25-mile parade through Winooski at the last minute. So the 29 bands made up of over 2,000 kids couldn't march in the state's biggest parade.
But the rest of the festivities in the three-day event will go on as planned through the weekend at MMU, including performances of the All State jazz ensemble and choral performances.
The festival brings together high school musicians from all over the state to perform in band, orchestra, chorus or jazz ensembles under the direction of top conductors from around the country.

I am taking a break from appellate brief to express my annoyance with this "kids today" logic.
In the linked story above, Woodward and Bernstein worry that the tech-savvy generation could never uncover a Watergate like scandal.
I'm sorry, guys, but come ON, enough with this nonsense. These web-savvy kids are doing investigative journalism all over the place. How about the AP's series about NYPD intelligence efforts post-9/11? Reuters's story about this weird mini-Cayman Islands in the U.S.? Las Vegas Review-Journal's package about police shootings? NYT's story about Japan withholding information about nuclear risk in the wake of the earthquake? Rolling Stone's work about where the money to Haiti went and how the world failed? Basically all of ProPublica?
Look, old guard, what you did was phenomenal. Now it's our turn.
Every morning I pass a Planned Parenthood on my walk to school. There are the same three protestors there every single morning, rain or shine, cold or hot, and they have been there every morning at least since September. And every morning, we have the following conversation:
Protestor: Will you be a voice for the unborn?
Me: Good morning.
Protestor: Love does not kill life.
Me: Have a good day!
Every. Single. Day. Do they not recognize me or something? What do they think, that after like seven solid months of this conversation I'm going go, "Oh! A voice for the unborn! What a great idea! Sure thing! Sign me up!"
It's getting old is all.

Illinois is trying to pass a bill that would make it easier for adult adoptees to get their original birth certificates, very similar to the bill in New Jersey. Republican Sara Feigenholtz is sponsoring the bill that would give many adoptees twenty one years old or older access to their original birth certificates. Birth Certificates have been sealed in Illinois since the 1940's.
Feigenholtz herself is an adoptee. In the article out of the Chicago Tribune she talked about how adoptees have been denied their beginning, their "chapter one" as she puts it.
"Chapter 1 of everyone else's lives begins with a birth certificate, a document I and everyone behind me are prohibited from having."
Testifying before the committee with Ms. Feigenholtz was former Denver Broncos fullback Howard Griffith who is also an adoptee. He talks about how although he has a great adoptive family, he has never been able to shake the feeling that a piece of him is missing.
"There's always still a sense of loneliness because you truly don't know who you are, even though you have this support system."
More specifically, if this bill becomes a law, it would allow anyone born after January 1, 1946 to immediately obtain copies of their original birth certificates. Anyone born after January 1, 1946 will have to wait until April 1, 2009 in order to give birth parents the opportunity to request anonymity through the state registry. To have their names removed from the original birth certificate, birth parents have to pay a fee of forty dollars or fill out a medical questionnaire.
Those supporting the bill are hoping that if birthparents wish to remain anonymous that they will at least fill out the medical history information so their child can obtain it.
The legislation passed through the House Committee on Adoption Reform earlier this month and now heads to the full House for further debate and then a vote.

Financial Statements
Financial Statements
The foundation's highest priority is to ensure that our grantees have the resources necessary to address today's most pressing social justice challenges. This requires steady engagement and thoughtful management of our economic resources.
Ford is committed to providing clear and timely information on our finances and grant making and to maintaining strict oversight and controls over its financial operations. As such, we work with PricewaterhouseCoopers to perform an annual audit of financial statements. These statements present the foundation's financial position and statement of activities for the years 2011-2013.
Report of Independent Auditors
To The Board of Trustees of the Ford Foundation:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of The Ford Foundation ("the Foundation"), which comprise the statements of financial position as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the related statements of activities and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Foundation's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Foundation's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Ford Foundation at December 31,2013 and December 31, 2012, and the changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Dallas Cowboys have had good years and a lot of mediocre years over Tony Romo's tenure. It included a 13-3 season in 2007 where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champion New York Giants in their first playoff game. But Romo has labeled this 2013 team as the "most complete" team he has played on in his 11 years with Dallas.
Why? His assessment of the team's personnel and coaching staff.
"We went through a phase where we kind of had to reshuffle some things," Romo said Wednesday between training camp practices, via Fox Sports. "Some of the older guys were going out and newer guys were coming in. Now, we're kind of getting to where these guys have played and been in the system a little bit.
"I'm excited where this team is at right now. I think this team can compete at a very high level for the next three to five years for sure."
Romo could be feeling a sense of urgency from his lack of success in the postseason in Dallas, but he wouldn't be alone.
"We're disappointed in the last two seasons being 8-8," Cowboys tight end Jason Witten said. "There's a core group of guys who understand it's not about what we talk or say. It's our actions and developing a team that can compete, develop a good chemistry and ultimately execute when we get into tough situations."
But for all the Cowboys struggle, most of the blame has been thrown on Romo, not Witten.
"He understands what the expectations are not only for this team but himself," Witten said. "You love going to work each day with a guy who has the same commitment as you. We'll exhaust ourselves trying to win a championship."
