Brother Rice turns your son from a boy into a man. Not only will he be ahead of the curve academically, but also emotionally, physically, psychologically, socially and spiritually. He may not realize it when he is at the school, but once he gets to college (and yes he will go to college), he will be light years ahead of his peers.
My two sons attended Brother Rice High School and the experience was extremely positive. The education was superlative. The teachers were very demanding but fair. One area that I really appreciated was how the students helped each other in their classes. They were very competitive with each other but were always there to work together. Extra curricular activities were well rounded and some endeavors were jointly conducted with Marian High School. They were both involved in athletics and the high level of competition and dedication of the student athletics made challenged them to be the best they could be. I would highly recommend Brother Rice High School to anyone seeking an excellent education in a nurturing environment.
I graduated from Brother Rice and it is still one of the most important and influential decisions of my life. I was lucky enough to be a member of the Band of Brother and experience Academic Excellence in the Catholic Tradition. To this day some of my closest friends and mentors from Brother Rice are still a part of my life. I highly recommend this elite college prep school for anyone looking for more than just and education. Brother Rice helps to craft the body, mind and soul.
I have a son who is a Junior at Br. Rice and think that sending him here was one of the greatest decisions we made. I knew Br. Rice was a great school as everyone I had met at the University of Michigan who was a Br. Rice graduate was mature, focused and had great values. I cannot say the same about other more expensive private schools in the Birmingham area. My son is gifted both academically and athletically and has thrived here. The academics are outstanding and a simple look at the test scores, AP courses offered and the schools graduates are accepted to; will show the prowess of the faculty. While the school is an athletic powerhouse, I do not think too much emphasis is put on sports. Nearly every boy here has played at the travel level of their sport since they were young. As a result, it is difficult to make teams, but there are also no-cut sports. The Band of Brothers process of assigning every incoming student a mentor and having mentoring sessions that include all grades builds networks and bonds that are apparent anytime you encounter alumni. I don't think there is a better public or private school in the area and would highly, highly recommend Br. Rice.
After having had 2 sons graduate from there and move on successfully to college I feel Brother Rice has the makings to be GREAT. It has provided many tools to succeed in every way for the future but that being said I hesitate to send my remaining sons there based on the internal politics which "everyone" is concerned with. It seems the strong beliefs and philosophies in place are adhered to and enforced with the "commoners' only. Loyalties to students of involved parents, certain past alumni,staff, coaches, or large contributers are clearly exempt from theses rules which are bent to fit their needs.We have experienced both sides of this and understand it occurs in the real world. it is not something i feel a Catholic institutiion should so obviously support. I had hoped they would focus more on you earn your place based on YOUR actions and attributes rather than who you are or who you know which goes against Catholic teachings. Hopefully this newer leadership is working on irradicating this practice to teach the men they are responsible for who they are and their actions. This direction would truly make Brother Rice the great institution it has every componenet to be.
Great school, very difficult curriculum but prepares you for life. I would recommend Brother Rice to anyone.
I loved brother rice except for one thing all they care about is sports. I believe my son would have had a better experience at UofD or CC.
Happy with the school in every way. My three boys went to Rice and my daughter went to public school in the area. The boys were well prepared for college and had no transition troubles. My daughter was not prepared and struggled for two year.
Brother Rice is one of the finest high schools in the midwest. The academic excellence and college placement stats are truly a reflection of their difficult college prep curriculum. 100% of the seniors are accepted to 4 year colleges. Being in an all male environment is a unique feature to Brother Rice and the students that are a part of it. It is also unique that they are the only Catholic high school that shares a large campus with two other Catholic schools. St. Regis grade school (K-8) and Marian HS (all girls). This makes for a great community and family atmosphere. The emphasis on spirituality is a very important part of a Brother Rice education. Faith based living is an integral part the Brother Rice community. Brother Rice continues to lead the way in developing young men in body, mind, and spirit. It is truly a very special place.
As a graduate of this fine school, I could not do anything but give praise. If you can, you need to send your son here. My son is three years old, and there is no chance in the world he will go to any other school but Brother Rice.
The current leadership is right on top of things. The curriculum is superb and the administration continues to monitor and update it. We've got a great supportive group of parents and the administration welcomes the parents in all aspects with open arms. It goes without saying that the boys are fabulous and grow spiritually, intellectually and socially throughout their stay at Brother Rice. I just can't say enough great things about the school. The teachers really care about the kids as well and are very communicative with the parents which is very respectful. The sports program is second to none and there are many extracurricular activities to keep all interests satisfied. The campus is very safe, which is more than I can say for other schools. Excellent overall quality. The boy will remain friends for life. Very satisfied customer and parent.
I am currently a senior at Rice and have gone there all four years. Although I didn't 'freely' choose to attend Brother Rice, it was the best decision my parents have ever made for me. The fact that it's a Catholic school shouldn't intimidate you (as I am not Catholic and have always felt comfortable). The school is so rich in tradition that it's hard not to get caught up in it. The teachers REALLY do care about you and, due to the smallness of the student body, know you by name when passing you in the halls. Rice really does prepare you well for the SAT's and beyond. Some of the teachers are so knowledgeable in their subjects that they have become legends at Rice that freshmen learn about from day one. From Rice's excellent athletics to its education, Rice stands out from all the rest. -Kevin Painter

(Large Stuffed Shells). (Serves 20 for buffet, 8-10 as a pasta course). In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meat and cook, stirring, until browned. Raise the heat to high, stir in the wine, and let most of it evaporate. Lower the heat to medium, add the tomato sauce, and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until thickened. Set aside. In a large saucepan scald the milk (bring to just under a boil). Set aside. In another large saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste, and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the hot milk, and cook, whisking, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the salt. Remove from the heat, and stir in the ragu until well blended. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly butter a 14 x 8-inch baking dish. Using a spoon, fill the shells with the ragu mixture and place them close together in the baking dish. In a bowl, combine the milk and heavy cream. Slowly pour evenly over the shells. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Serve immediately.

SEC Settlements Trends: 1H11 Update
27 June 2011
By Dr. James Overdahl et al.
The latest report from NERA's ongoing analysis of trends in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement action settlements finds that the number of company settlements jumped 43% in the first half of fiscal year 2011 (1H11) to 114. That puts company settlements on pace for 228 in FY2011, compared to the 160 company settlements recorded in FY2010. Overall, the SEC settled with 344 defendants in 1H11, putting the agency on pace to settle with 688 defendants for the full year, compared to the 681 settlements in fiscal year 2010.
While total SEC settlements have remained stable compared to the previous fiscal year, there has been a substantial shift in their composition, according to the authors. Although the number of company settlements rose sharply, the number of individual settlements declined 12% in the first half of the year to 230, an annual pace of 460, compared to 521 in FY10. For companies whose settlements included a monetary payment, the average amount declined to $6.0 million compared to $18.5 million in FY10. However, the median company settlement increased to $1.4 million, compared to $0.8 million in FY10. For individuals whose settlements include a monetary payment, the average was $4.48 million and median amount was $310,000. Both figures are greater than any full fiscal year since SOX was implemented.
The report's findings are informed by NERA's proprietary database of settlements in SEC enforcement actions, which is based on litigation releases and administrative proceeding documents. SEC Settlements Trends: 1H11 Update, historical SEC settlements data, and previous SEC settlement trends reports can be viewed on NERA Economic Consulting's Securities Litigation Trends website at www.securitieslitigationtrends.com.

Driving home from the city one day, Jim felt a peculiar feeling in his chest. When the feeling subsided after a few minutes, he dismissed his symptoms as indigestion. The 61-year-old Corvette mechanic drove all the way from downtown Chicago to the western suburbs, not knowing he had just experienced a heart attack.
A few hours later, Jim's symptoms led him to seek treatment at a hospital near his home. He was discharged from the hospital after a week, but returned a week later in heart failure. When Jim's condition worsened, he was transferred by helicopter to Rush University Medical Center. Critically ill when he arrived, Jim was on a balloon pump and many medications to keep him alive.
Jim's team at Rush, including cardiovascular/transplant surgeon Robert Higgins, MD, considered the best course of action given the severity of his heart failure. Difficult cases like Jim's are not uncommon for the heart failure team at Rush, which also includes the expertise of heart failure/transplant nurses Susan Grossenbach, BSN, RN, and Shawn Paris, RN.
Together, the team developed an action plan for Jim's recovery. They all agreed that Jim would ultimately need a heart transplant. As a bridge to transplant, the team implanted a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), a sophisticated mechanical device that helps weakened hearts pump blood until a suitable donor heart can be found.
Jim responded well to the device, but his team at Rush soon realized he needed more than just medical care to get him through the tough times ahead. Together, they set about helping Jim understand what he needed to survive. They worked with him to mobilize his family — including his sister, who gave up a job in another state and moved back to Illinois to help her brother. They gave him detailed instructions on home care. Finally, Jim decided he wasn't going to let himself die before his mother died. He rallied.
Encouraged by Jim's newfound positive outlook and family support, the Rush team believed he would be an excellent candidate for a heart transplant. Jim left the hospital on a Wednesday. The following Friday — only two days after he was released — he was placed on the waiting list to receive a heart. He was called back to Rush on Saturday to receive a heart transplant when a suitable donor was quickly found.
During his recovery, Jim especially enjoyed walking up and down the halls at Rush. During his laps around the floor, he thanked everyone who crossed his path — dietitians, physical therapists, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists and residents. He even earned the nickname "Marathon Man."
Today, Jim shows his gratitude to his team at Rush and to the family of his donor by sharing his experience with other Rush heart failure and transplant patients. He recently participated in a heart walk, and says he hasn't felt this good in 20 years. And — perhaps the strongest sign that he is getting back to his life — since they "installed his new engine at Rush," Jim is rehabbing Corvettes again.

Abortion is murder and those doctors and everyone at those movies knew it. Abortion would not be available in the US were it not for the racial hatred of blacks and the obsession to reduce the black population in America per Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood and its Ku Klux Klan friends.. As to Dr Tiller's church, it is Ku Klux Klan church. You can call it a Lutheran Church if you want, but it is still a KKK church and God does not recognize it. No Christian church will ever support abortion.

I set this up purely due to boredom and the fact that when I am bored, I seem to spend more time on my nails! So thought I'd share with you all (and to remind myself) very easy designs to do!
First Post!
Huge fan of Lady Gaga so 'Telephone' video inspired nails were obviously on my mind!
It's my first try doing American Flag nails, hence the slight dodgy lines etc, but I don't think it's too bad for my first go :)

Epic Electric Vehicles is a relatively new company and we had not heard many things about it until 2010 when presented with the first details of its new electric roadster. Two years later, the new Epic Torq should be making its big debut in 2012.
Apart from the new roadster, the company is also working on an electric ATV and an electric boat, which are also planned to be launched later in 2012.
Judging by the first details, the new electric roadster should be a lot of fun, being able to reach the 60 mph mark in less than 4 seconds.
Technically, the Epic Torq is a bare bones three wheeler with a few carbon fiber panels and a spartan cockpit. Power comes from a 200hp electric motor which is fed by a set of 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries mounted under the floor. For the moment, there aren't any price specifications released, but we don't expect it o be cheap.
Leaving its three wheel configuration aside, it's still hard to put the Epic Torq in the "cars" category as it's basically a chassis on wheels that looks more like a cart than a sports car. We'll also have to admit that we're not big fans of the exterior design, as it's pretty rudimentary and seems poorly finished.
On the other hand, the front end doesn't look that bad and we dare say that it can even be considered charming. We especially like the robust headlights and the aggressive front wing, which look very close to the ones found on F1 cars. The low wing is not only a design element, as it's also an important piece of the aerodynamic puzzle, helping the car cut easier through the air and keeping it better glued to the ground during high speed driving.
The company decided to leave the front cam suspensions uncovered, thus adding a touch of aggressiveness to an otherwise pretty dull design.
Viewed from the side, the Epic Torq looks like a boat on wheels and there are no doors. As you move toward the back, the side body panels get closer to each other and meet forming an odd sharp tail fitted with a big light cluster.
The resulting design is pretty strange, but we'll have to admit that the company didn't have too many options to choose from because the vehicle uses a T type chassis. This chassis allowed for mounting a front suspension with a battery tunnel behind and center to increase performance. The chassis is also perfectly suited for possible enclosed versions of the Torq.
The exterior design may not win any beauty awards, but it offers a perfect weight distribution for the 3-wheel architecture and also allows for over 1G of lateral acceleration. Moreover, the company says that the three wheel architecture "reduces drag on the tarmac by 25%, making everything from acceleration to range more efficient."
Despite the company's struggles to make their roadster as lightweight as possible, the end result is far from impressive because the car still weighs 1800 lbs, a pretty big number for such a vehicle.
Once you hop inside, you are met by a spartan cabin which can accommodate only two adults. The driver and passenger seats are separated by a rudimentary center stack which is fitted with a pair of cup holders and an iPhone stand.
There is also a simple dash which comes with a small display that gives readings from the electric motor and batteries, while other indicators are found behind the steering wheel.
Talking about the steering wheel, it looks fairly sporty thanks to its flat-bottom design and also seems to offer a confident grab. Perhaps it goes without saying that it comes without any integrated controls.
The Epic Torq doesn't come with a roof, but you do get a lightweight plexi-glass window to keep exterior elements out while driving at high speeds. Fortunately, the sport seats seem to offer enough support to allow you to play around without problems at three digit speeds, but leg-room could prove to be a bit limited.
Engine and Performance
The Epic Torq is powered by a 200 hp electric motor mounted on the front axle. The motor delivers a maximum torque of 612 lb-ft available from as low as 1 rpm. All this power is sent to the front wheels by means of a single speed transmission which also comes with a reverse mode.
Thanks to the massive torque and the 1800 lbs weight, the roadster is able to kill the 0-60 mph time in less than 4 seconds, which is at par with most of the electric vehicles in its class.
The motor is powered by a pack of 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries which are mounted under the floor, thus keeping the center of gravity low. Unfortunately, for the moment, we don't have any details about the charging time or the vehicle's range, but let's hope they'll be reasonable.
Epic Torq Specifications

The Epic Torq sounds good on paper, so we can expect for it to offer a pretty thrilling driving experience. Its three wheel configuration should also give you a totally different sensation than the one offered by a regular four wheel car. Not to mention the super fast acceleration and the massive torque.
Then again, there are a lot of unanswered questions such as the price, range and how much time is needed to charge the batteries. Once these questions are answered, we should have a clearer picture as to the capabilities of the Epic Torq.
- Front end is a highlight of the design
- Focused on aerodynamics and lightweight
- Great power and performance
- No price, no charging times
- How practical is a 3-Wheeler?
- Dull exterior

Framed Bandanas: Americana The Beautiful
American Style
Did you see the bandana feature in July's Martha Stewart Living? Classic cowboy-beloved bandanas are used and displayed in such gorgeous and sophisticated ways, they feel exotic and new...
As the article teaches us, bandanas have always had a bit of international flair, despite being iconically "American". Even the word bandana is derived from the Hindi "bandhana", which means "to tie". Bandanas are put to many uses by the always-crafty MSL team, such as table-topper (under glass), wastebasket cover, and lampshade. It was the framed bandanas that hit me hardest of all. What a subtle but striking display! That range of indigo would look good with anything, like jeans you can hang on your wall. The story's creators admit that these are all particularly fine (and rare) vintage examples — to the antique mall!

The bandanas look nice, but that room is blue overload.
Ditto. I adore the bandanas, but with that wall color- yuck!
I kind of like the wall, blue and all.
I love the bandanas without qualifications and the dog bed is awesome.
I just returned from a week-long stay in Singapore where the hotel room was this same dark blue and the bathroom was tiled in black. It was the most depressing room I have ever stayed in and I was glad to be back home. I've now decided that I need to repaint my own bedroom which is also blue--though not that dark a shade. Ugh! Singapore was great but that room was miserable to return to each night!
Wow, those bandanas actually look quite pretty. Agree that the room is waaay too blue, though.
It is actually pretty difficult to get bandanas in this many different designs.
Love this idea. Love it with the bandannas. I have a handkerchief collection that I have been aching to hang on the wall like this...so hoping I can do it this year (I need a wall first! ;) Wish me luck!
I like the idea, but not crazy about what appear to be custom frames that are slightly different sizes. I'd have done identical frames with some folding over of hems as needed. Or probably would have mounted them stretched or wrapped on blocks, actually.
I don't mind all the blue.
Does anyone know where to find that bench reasonably inexpensively?
What I absolutely love is the carpet. Too bad they cost an arm and a leg.
i think the monochromatic is what makes this work or makes the statement, love the bandana idea, i am going to borrow it ;)...
I would have never thought that bandanas could look good.
I have vintage handkerchiefs I've been wanting to do this with as well. I can't afford to have them custom framed but I can't seem to find any square frames to do it myself.
check out the MCS format frames- u can get either 8 or 12 inch squares... very easy to use & relatively cheap... :)
The slightly different size of some of the frames bothers me too.....I would have used only the ones that would have been the same size in the end. The putty colored chair doesn't work for me either.....why not plain white?
hey, martha's people borrowed that from the levi's stores... i do love it though! i have been collecting vintage bandanas for a long time. they are lil pieces of art.
I can't decide whether the frames differ in size or are just not aligned. Either way, surprising that someone as exacting as Martha would have let this happen (though the imperfection of it has some appeal for me).
Love the bandanas, can't stand the Martha. I'm just sayin'....
great idea, I'm going to start collecting!
This is really pretty and affordable.
Love the blue wall colour, and the misaligned frames - gives the whole ensemble a 'quilt' feel.
I love bandanas. I have many, in different colors, that I use as napkins. It creates a colorful, casual table. Especially for lunch or an outdoor BBQ.
Where are you guys buying bandanas?
@JosieDaisy- Ebay has a ton of different styles/colors.
I love this! This may be how my grandpa's bandannas end up. hmmm
These look beautiful, I never would have thought of displaying bandanas. I really like the blue-on-blue thing going on here, but I have a feeling it would be unpleasant to actually be in a room like that in person.
hm I'll have to see what's available out here, thanks JWTX but I think they're easier to get in the US. :(
I have had bandanas hanging on my wall for 5 years now...ever since my Japanese student brought me two as gifts from Japan. I have to say the design on the fabric of these Japanese bandanas struck me and I decided to hang them up, rather than wear them. I also have a piece I made from special origami paper - a very thick kind. There are many things we can make "wall art" out of - among things in my apartment there is a piece I made from a blue-green ultra thin silk scarf, bamboo stick and necklaces - I never wear jewelry and I found this a good way to enjoy the beauty of the ones I have been given as gifts. Then I have a piece which is basically stamps (rubber stamps) on brown supermarket paper. I have framed a poem a friend of mine wrote on my vintage typewriter, which I decorated with some black ink drawings. A bunch of favorite posters and photos also find there ways on my walls...and well, I do have one painting - a gift from a friend.
I did the vintage handkerchiefs on the wall. I didn't get custom frames though--just scour Goodwill and put them up when I find one. I've learned that the old record album frames work particularly well.

re sales in March from a year ago.
The Bank of Japan will conclude its first monetary policy meeting with new BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda at the helm.
So far, Japan's great "Abenomics" experiment – which seeks to employ bold policy tools to overcome more than a decade of deflation – has been mostly talk.
The US stocks rose on Tuesday, as factory orders data confirmed the economy is steadily improving.
The S&P 500 closed at another record high, though it fell short of breaking above its all-time intraday high of 1,576.09. The Dow also ended at another record high.
The U.S. government dropped plans to cut payments for private Medicare Advantage insurers and instead said it would allow a 3.3 percent raise. The news boosted shares of some health insurers, including Humana, which derives about two-thirds of its revenue from Medicare Advantage business.
March U.S. auto sales surged to their highest level in more than five years – with several makers reporting all-time records for the month.
Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A tiny agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among the highest in the world. Usually self-sufficient in rice, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. Japan maintains one of the world's largest fishing fleets and accounts for nearly 15% of the global catch. For three decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular – a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital, and labor. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008.
A sharp downturn in business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake in March disrupted manufacturing. Recovery spending helped boost GDP in early 2012, but slower global economic growth began weakening Japan's export-oriented economy by mid-year. Electricity supplies remain tight because Japan tentatively shut down almost all of its nuclear power plants after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors were crippled by the earthquake and resulting tsunami.
Newly-elected Prime Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants and has said he will increase stimulus spending and press the Bank of Japan to loosen monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price differences, Japan in 2012 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place India, which edged out Japan in 2012. The new government will continue a longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major long-term challenges for the economy.

Cowboys make roster move, add LB
Source: ESPN Dallas - Jul 23, 2010 at 4:47 PM
Besides agreeing to terms with second-round pick Sean Lee, the Cowboys made another roster move -- signing linebacker Jay Moore (Nebraska) and cutting wide receiver Verran Tucker. Moore, drafted by San Francisco in the fourth round of the 2007 draft, has almost three years of NFL experience with the 49ers and Tennessee Titans. Tucker was signed by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of California.

Bereft of Explanation In Account of Having Known
The absent mind wanders
In the limitless naught..
Still, it should be discovered
Should its presence be sought.
The absent body loomed–
Lest its sight be something caught..
The blossoming continues
As the grains of body rot.
Wide-Eyed. Wading Through. Sleeplessness.
These deadened endings
Turn to me and ask if
I'm the relief they seek
In a mumbled reply
I traverse my eyes
Through words I barely breathe
Inside this cloud
Of doubting mouths
Lie the falsities they seek
Shrouded by
Curvaceous sounds
They have found faith in me
The Realization that This Might Be: The Realization of This Existing
I wish I were only
Pretending to sleep
Then again, my chest
Wouldn't have been
Nearly as deep
And I might not have captured
Such Invasive Wonder
Had I only been inside
A one-eyed

Black Hills Gold History
Over a span of 14 years, 360 gold miners - turned craftsmen carved a rough granite Monument. Today in dozens of intricate steps, their descendants our craftspeople, carry on this tradition of quality and excellence with every piece of Mt. Rushmore Black Hills Gold - South Dakota's official state jewelry.
What makes this Jewelry so unique is the yellow gold grapes with leaf designs in shades of pink and green gold. The colors are actually achieved by alloying gold and silver to produce green and alloying copper with gold to produce pink. The frosty appearance is achieved by wriggling, or engraving, the leaves.
The gold and silver, which was used to make the first Black Hills Gold Jewelry, had been mined at the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota, at the time it was the largest gold mine in the Western Hemisphere. Henri LeBeau, a prospector from France, did not discover this gold; however, he did create the legendary jewelry with the leaves and grapes which he sold to other miners and prospectors.
One hundred twenty years have passed since that first piece was made and some people still say that wearing the jewelry brings them "good luck!"

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is sorry his state's health care rollout didn't go according to plan. "No one is more disappointed than I am that we fell short of our rollout in the exchange, and I take responsibility for those failures," he said. "I know that we have work to do to restore Vermonters confidence in our ability to get health care right."
But unlike some other governors, he's using the setbacks to—I shit you not—encourage his state to overhaul its health care further, with the goal of becoming the first state in the country to go to single-payer. Whoa. Think he can pull it off?

SACRAMENTO, CA - JANUARY 10: California Governor Jerry Brown speaks to reporters as he announces his proposed budget at the California State Capitol on January 10, 2011 in Sacramento, California. Governor Brown announced a balanced state budget that cuts spending by $12.5 billion and includes an eight to ten percent cut in take home pay for state employees and proposes a "vast and historic" restructuring of government operations. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
When Gov. Brown brought his push for state budget cuts and tax hikes to San Diego on Thursday, at the very least, he seemed to charm a politically diverse audience of civic and business leaders.
The governor's looking to close a $7 billion budget gap with program reductions and temporary hikes in the sales tax and income tax on high earners.
The taxes depend on his qualifying and passing an initiative on the November ballot.
If it fails, he said the axe will have to fall on education at all levels.
"Why will education suffer if we don't get the temporary tax?" Brown asked. "Because education is the largest part of the budget. So when you need money, education can't be ignored."
The audience seemed to be a fairly representative political mix: 220 guests of the San Diego's City Club, Chamber of Commerce and Independent Voters Network.
The governor cracked them up a number of times as he went through his agenda of budget balancing, pension reform, "Think Big" projects and outright booster-im of California's recovering economy, Nobel Prize laureates, high-tech and biotech innovations.
He took questions on several hot-button issues.
On education, he spoke of funding shifts to promote local control, and de-emphasizing standardized testing.
On the demise of redevelopment, he called it "dishonest funding."
And he warned of bad budget policies leading to European-style economic meltdowns.
Brown said construction will begin this year on a Central Valley segment of the $10 billion high-speed rail system that voters approved four years ago.
And, he hinted he's still interested in launching a state-owned satellite, as he first proposed three decades ago.
"So now I'm left with cleaning up a mess. And that mess requires some revenue," Brown said. "And it also requires some cuts. And some pension reform. I'm going to it, I'm going to do all those things. But I need the people's help."

Spas in the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic abounds with healing springs, and as early as the Middle Ages, spa towns were estabilished on such places.
The most attractive and most popular are the three located in the west of the country – Karlovy Vary, Františkovy Lázně and Mariánské Lázně.
Karlovy Vary – the most famous of them – was set up in the 14th century by the Emperor Karel IV and patients from all over the world have been coming there, especially those with stomach, gallbladder and liver disorders. There are about 80 springs, but only twelve are in use. The town is also famous for glassware of the brand Moser, porcelain, and the herbal liqueur called Becherovka.
Mariánské Lázně, with it's numerous parks and flower beds which make it one of the most attractive Czech spa towns, is a popular venue for patients suffering from kidney disorders, asthma, or nervous diseases. In addition, disorders of the joints, urinary system, and skin diseases are treated there. The mineral springs date back to the 16th century. There are up to 40 cold springs, and the water is used for both drinking and bathing. The town boasts a number of monuments and sculptures of some of the famous personalities of the past who came to have their disorders treated (Goethe, Chopin, Gogol).
Located in the middle of woods and parks, Františkovy Lázně is a famous spa for patients with women and heart diseases. The springs there date back to as early as the 12th century. Their number amounts of 24, František Spring being the strongest. There is a famous statue of a little boy called František nearby, and this is the symbol of the spa town. The poet Goethe said this was paradise on Earth.
Furthermore, there are smaller or less famous spa towns all across the country, though all of the have a good reputation. For example, Jeseník where the healer Vincent Priessnitz established successful healing methods for kidney and airway disorders. Teplice and Jáchymov, popular with rheumatism and arteriosclerosis patients, Luhačovice, which is the biggest spa in Moravia and one for the best for asthma and bronchitis patients, or Poděbrady, where heart diseases are treated.
Spas in brief
There are some disorders treated in spas:

Victim did not suffer severe injuries
One week after 18-year-old Anthony Johnson disappeared in the Kalamazoo River, another young man nearly drowned near the same area.
It started with an attempted theft.
14 year old Nathan Eberstein of Kalamazoo left his bike lying on the ground next to his house.
Saturday morning Nathan's cousin alerted him that someone was in the yard.
"I was inside, my cousin was sitting at the table and he looked out the window and seen a foot go by," Nathan said. "And he seen some dude walk in the back yard."
And the intruder was up to no good. He grabbed Nathan's bike and headed for the train tracks behind his home.
Nathan's family tried to stop the thief who tripped on the train tracks, ditched the bike, and jumped into the Kalamazoo River.
But the thief quickly started yelling for help.
"[He] couldn't swim that well because the current took him," Nathan said. "[He] called for help a couple times."
Police were called to the scene but Nathan's cousin, Cody Eberstein, wasn't going to wait for officials to arrive.
"I remembered that my best friend had just died so I didn't want anybody else to have to go through it," Cody said. "So I just jumped in and didn't really think about it."
"He said thanks for saving me, I was dying," Nathan said.
The young man pulled from the river was released from Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo at noon.
He did not suffer any major injuries.
Nathan's family is now calling for a fence to be placed around the river near Mayor's Riverfront Park on the local government's dime.
"It would raise awareness that fence is obviously there for a reason; you shouldn't cross it," Brent Owen, Nathan's uncle said. "That might stop people."
"It wouldn't be a lot to ask considering everything that's happened in the last week," Amy Boyd, Nathan's aunt said.
The family also plans to hold a benefit this summer to raise funds to build a fence.
They hope the event will also bring awareness to the danger of the river.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Post-Breakup Fiction; Comma Stutterers
January 27, 2012 | by Lorin Stein
I recently got out of serious relationship. Since then I have not been able to read, though I usually love sad, sappy love stories. Can you recommend some books that have zero romance or love in them? Some good post-breakup fiction?
Readers of this column know my high opinion of the Jeeves books and Life on the Mississippi. They cheer me up, and are rigorously free of mushy scenes. Sam Lipsyte's Home Land is a post-breakup book, I mean the hero has been dumped by his wife, but really that's the least of his problems—and the one time they get back together (for about two and a half minutes) it's enough to cure you of the whole idea of coupledom for at least the rest of the day.
Also: How do you feel about dogs? It's not fiction, and it is full of love, but something tells me J. R. Ackerley's 1965 memoir, My Dog Tulip—about the unlikely romance between a crusty, middle-aged English bachelor and his German shepherd—might make a welcome distraction.
Dear Lorin,
I was talking to another writer-friend recently about the use of commas. I tend to err on the safe side, slipping too many of them, perhaps, around phrases I think are supposed to be identified. But is this precious or old-fashioned or out of style?
In this Paris Review interview with Mary Karr, she claims to have had a comma stutter in The Liars' Club. Do you think there's such a thing as a comma stutter, or is it more like a sentence stutter, reflecting hesitation, or something, from the writer? I'd like to smooth out, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Comma Stutterer in Manhattan
A good comma stutter never goes out of style. Where would Henry James be without his commas—or that real-life stutterer Charles Lamb? Here is Lamb on his gruff but cowardly friend John Tipp: "With all this there was about him a sort of timidity—(his few enemies used to give it a worse name)—something which, in reverence to the dead, we will place, if you please, a little on this side of the heroic."
You can, of course, write in comma stutters then simply take out the punctuation. That is what Henry Green liked to do, for example when he describes what it was like to be unpopular at Eton:
These were the days when to be alone was to feel one had escaped for the moment not from any overt bullying but from what appeared to be the threat. There was a strain in trying to keep up with new friendships which probably did not exist. There was the dread of going into a friend's room to find one was not wanted, to be abandoned by the two leaders now that they were too busy to bother and worst of all the self questioning as to why this should be, the fear it might be a peer or one of the school's racquet players and of what this meant if true. The best was to get away in those few hours we had on our own, to chance being seen lonely in the effort to forget.
Green teaches the reader to hear his pauses, to anticipate his hesitations, and, thus, to think like a man of his class and sensibility. Such is the magic. When women say of a good dancer that he knows how to lead, this must be what they mean.
Then of course there is Gertrude Stein, who so loved the comma stutter that she would abolish the punctuation altogether. This is the typographical equivalent of burning the village to save it:
A long complicated sentence should force itself upon you, make you know yourself knowing it and the comma, well at the most a comma is a poor period that lets you stop and take a breath but if you want to take a breath you ought to know yourself that you want to take a breath. It is not like stopping altogether has something to do with going on, but taking a breath well you are always taking a breath and why emphasize one breath rather than another breath. Anyway that is the way I felt about it and I felt that about it very very strongly. And so I almost never used a comma. The longer, the more complicated the sentence the greater the number of the same kinds of words I had following one after another, the more the very more I had of them the more I felt the passionate need of their taking care of themselves by themselves and not helping them, and thereby enfeebling them by putting in a comma.
The point is, if your sentences are guided by your feelings, you can race or hesitate as the spirit moves you. Your reader will understand. Read More »
Making 'Of Lamb'
July 6, 2011 | by Thessaly La Force
In 1796, at the age of thirty-two, Mary Lamb had an attack of madness and killed her mother and wounded her father with a knife. She was institutionalized for three years until the death of her father, when, at the behest of her younger brother, Charles, she was brought to live with him. Charles Lamb was a clerk at the East India Company and a well-regarded essayist, and he remained Mary's caretaker and companion for the rest of their lives. The Lamb siblings were part of a literary circle that included Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the Wordsworths, William Hazlitt, and Mary Shelley, and they are the subject of the biography A Portrait of Charles Lamb by David Cecil.
Their story is also at the heart of a strange new illustrated poem that was published as a book by McSweeney's this month. Of Lamb is a collaborative project between poet Matthea Harvey and artist Amy Jean Porter. Harvey was fascinated by the process of erasures after seeing Tom Phillips's A Humument and Jen Bervin's Nets and decided to do one herself with the first book she could find for three dollars. "I picked up A Portrait of Charles Lamb completely randomly," Harvey told me. "When I discovered that Mary and Lamb were on each page, a story in poems started to emerge." There are echoes of Sarah Josepha Hale's famous nineteenth-century rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb," which tells the story of a young girl named Mary Sawyer who brings her pet lamb to school. But there are also weirder, more fascinating moments, too: "Nerves his family / Trouble his home / Dark spirits his company."
Below are a few slides of Harvey's erasures and the illustrations by Porter. Porter says she was "thinking of an illustrative tradition of a nineteenth-century British variety—Edward Lear, Beatrix Potter, Eleanor Vere Boyle" but also cites brass chandeliers, water towers, and artists such as Balthus and Gabriel Orozco as inspiration. Click to enlarge.
Join Harvey and Porter tomorrow, on July 7, at P.P.O.W. Gallery at 7:00 P.M. at 535 West 22nd Street, in New York, for a reading from Of Lamb.

As of Monday, September 30, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON — Covington Police are continuing to look for two men who are believed to have broken through the brick wall of a convenience store and stolen money from several lottery machines.
According to the incident report, Covington Police Department officers responded to a burglary alarm at the BP gas station on Turner Lake Road around 1:30 a.m. Thursday when officers discovered a hole approximately 4 feet by 4 feet knocked through the rear brick wall.
CPD Officer Kevin Fuller entered the store and found that the fronts of five Georgia Skill poker game machines had been broken into.
Surveillance video footage shows that two black males walked up to the store from the northeast wood line. One male was wearing a light-colored shirt around his face and was wearing a dark shirt, jeans and had thick dreadlocks, the report states.
The second male also had a light-colored shirt around his face and was wearing a light-colored shirt and jeans.
"One of the males cut a long shrub from beside the rear fence and used it to move the two rear cameras," Fuller stated in the report.
One of the cameras, though, was still able to capture the actions of the two men.
"Both of the males took turns with a sledge hammer, busting a hole into the back wall while the other would act as a lookout," Fuller reported.
It took the suspects about 15 minutes before they made entry, where they then broke into the lottery machines and stole money.
The store's manager told police that money was missing from four of the machines and one of those was also missing the money box. The value of each of the lottery machines is estimated to be about $4,000.
According Lt. Al Miller, an audit is being conducted to determine the exact amount of cash stolen.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Covington Police Department at 770-385-6431 or to make an anonymous tip online at www.covingtonpolice.com.

At Last, Something that Helps Many
Quercetin is a plant-derived bioflavonoid with a wide range of effects. It is an anti-cancer agent, it affects the immune system, protects mast cells and even has an antimicrobial effect. It is also useful in treating musculoskeletal conditions.
Dr Shoskes, who discovered that quercetin could help many chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) patients, theorises that quercetin decreases inflammation and oxidant stress in the prostate while increasing local concentrations of beta-endorphins. He says that quercetin has also been shown to inhibit the induction and function of T cells in vitro, so it may be able to short-circuit the root cause of autoimmunity (presuming autoimmunity is involved in CP/CPPS). Its general properties are: anti-oxidant, tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nitric oxide inhibitor, anti-inflammatory (inhibits NF-kB, blocks PGE-2 and cox-2 gene expression) and inhibitor of histamine and cytokine release from mast cells (quercetin inhibits the release of histamine, leukotrienes (LTs), prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), and granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from human cultured mast cells).
ProstaQ: The only form of quercetin studied for use against prostatitis, ProstaQ capsules are recommended by academic urologists. A recent study suggests that this patented proprietary formulation is more effective than generic quercetin. Specially processed from US raw materials in Switzerland to guarantee total purity, its secret formula (containing a patented blend of bromelain, papain, cranberry powder, black cohosh root, skullcap, wood betany leaf, passionflower and valerian root) ensures a higher absorption rate. Read a leading urologist's views about ProstaQ & CP/CPPS. Yet another study on ProstaQ.
There have been numerous messages to the Usenet newsgroup on prostatitis
by men heaping praise on this flavonoid, while a small proportion
insist they have not been helped. Many of those not helped are taking
cheap and unreliable brands of quercetin and aren't getting the
right dose (the most reliable brand is Prosta-Q). Dr Shoskes says
that "Some patients notice improvement after the first few
doses. For others it can take up to a month to work." But like
most medicines used to treat disease, quercetin does not help all
sufferers, probably because of genetic differences between people.
However everyone with CP/CPPS should try it, because they may be
one of the fortunate who are helped.
Some people like the idea that quercetin is having antibacterial effects (which studies have documented). But Dr Shoskes says "Quercetin MAY have effects on antibiotic resistant bacteria. I should emphasize that I have not found quercetin to be helpful clinically in my patients with documented infections."

Council Moves To Shut Occupy Glasgow Camp
Up to 500 protesters were believed to be in the camp at the height of the protest
Council officials in Glasgow will go to court today in a bid to evict anti-capitalist protesters from the city centre.
The council wants them removed from George Square before ceremonies to mark Armistice Day on the 11th November, Remembrance Sunday on the 13th and the switch-on if the city's Christmas lights a week later.
If an eviction order is granted at a court hearing, Sheriff's Officers will be sent in to clear the square of the "Occupy Glasgow" protesters, unless they agree to leave as instructed.
The Glasgow protest mirrors demonstrations outside St Paul's Cathedral in London, St Andrew's Square in Edinburgh and others around the world.
Tents have been pitched outside the council chambers in George Square since October 15th.
The council-owned square is one of Glasgow's most distinctive landmarks. Recently, it played host to Hollywood star Brad Pitt when it was used as the backdrop for the filming of his forthcoming zombie thriller, entitled World War Z.
The city council says it has offered three alternative sites to protesters but all have been turned down.
A Glasgow City Council spokesperson told Sky News: "While we still hope that an amicable solution can be found we feel that, due to forthcoming major events in George Square and the onsite preparations needed to make them happen, we have no other option than to take this course of action."
Numbers at the Glasgow camp have fallen since it began. Organisers claim they have been as high as 500.
One of the protesters said they will wait for the outcome of the court hearing before discussing their response to the latest developments.
The man, named "Grant", told Sky News: "We will wait and see what the court decides.
"Because we are a consensus-led democracy, our next move needs to go past the 'general assembly' of individuals involved. We'll see where the consensus takes us, based on the court's judgement.
"The camp is a means of gathering together as an open forum to discuss the problems we face in wider society and to explore how we get into a situation where it becomes progressive rather than destructive."
Police were called to the camp last week after a serious sexual assault. Strathclyde Police still want to trace two men after a woman protester was raped inside a tent.
