MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Louisiana has one of the highest rates in the United States when it comes to premature births, birth defects and infant mortality.
Brittany Tygart's first pregnancy didn't end quite as expected. "It was very nerve wracking" said Tygart. Her baby girl Lilly was born 8 weeks too early. "As soon as she was born, I wasn't able to hold her like normal. They had to rush her and fix her up" said Tygart.Lilly has spent the first few weeks here fighting for her life. "It was really tough" said Tygart and her experience isn't unique. Every year a half million babies are born too soon in the United States. That's why the March of Dimes is asking hospitals across the nation to stop delivering babies before 39 weeks, as part of its "healthy babies are worth the wait" campaign. "A baby takes 39 weeks, you want to keep that little bun in the oven" said Davis. The non-profit gave Louisiana a failing grade for it's 2012 premature birth report card and some of the highest rates are right here in North East Louisiana. "A significant portion of that has to do with our poverty rate and lack of education that we have" said Dr. Amber Salas, an area Ob/Gyn. That's why St. Francis Medical Center, March of Dimes, The Women's Clinic joined forces to raise attention hosting an awareness day. The group announced plans to reduce pre term births 8 percent by 2014. "We're going to keep on fighting to change the statistics" said Davis.
Balloons were released to remember the little ones who have lost their fights, but also celebrate healthy babies, like baby Lilly who will get to go home for the first time in a week.

Should the national monument become a reality, some improvements in the units suggested, plus limited land acquisition, will be necessary as outlined below.
1. Land Acquisition
2. Development: Parking areas currently exist at all of the proposed units; however, they are inadequate and some enlargement and reconstruction is needed at each of them. A major visitor center and an administrative headquarters unit, including an office building, residences, and utility buildings, are proposed at the Sheep Rock Unit.
At this unit, there is the problem of visitor crossing of the John Day River. Some type of facility, such as a tram or foot bridge, will be needed. All development can be accommodated on the west side of the river along State Route 19 and the need for a vehicle bridge is not foreseen.
Unmanned interpretive centers are proposed at all areas except Sheep Rock and the Cathedral Unit, with inplace exhibits planned at Turtle Cove and Foree. Nature and interpretive trails are proposed at Sheep Rock, Turtle Cove, and Clarno. Permanent quarters are proposed in the headquarters area, with seasonal quarters planned at the Turtle Cove and Clarno Units. A complete signing program, both within the national monument units and throughout the area will be necessary. This program should include both information and interpretive signing.
All units will require fencing to protect them from existing noncompatible uses, such as livestock, hunting, and rock and fossil hunting.
A national monument as described above would be the minimum solution feasible in terms of National Park Service management, development, and interpretation. The alternative to this solution would be complete administration by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Division. Under this alternative, the Service could be of valuable assistance to the Division, if requested, in the cooperative planning of a comprehensive interpretive program.
Several inter-connecting segments of the existing highway system afford opportunity for excellent loop tours that lead through the combination of sites, reduce back-tracking on the part of the visitor, and provide access to good camping facilities that are available at the high elevation forests out of the summer heat.
One such loop tour is afforded by State Route 19 from Picture Gorge on U.S. 26, north to Kimberly, west to Spray and Service Creek, then continuing south on State 207 to Mitchell and returning to U.S. 26.
A second example would be a loop tour along the same route as above to Kimberly, but then turning east on State 208 to Monument and Long Creek, then southward on U.S. 395 to Mt. Vernon and U.S. 26.
A series or combination of sites situated both in Grant and Wheeler Counties is suitable for geological and paleontological exhibit and interpretation as a John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. This conclusion is well documented and reinforced by the Shotwell Report.
While geologic exposures like the Clarno, John Day, and the Columbia River Basalts occur frequently throughout Wheeler and western Grant Counties, units of the Oregon State Park System certainly contain some of the more significant exposures and, so far as is known, perhaps the core or the heart of the paleontological resources. Thus, the resources already are available for public use and benefits. It would not appear desirable or feasible to make changes in this present arrangement, especially since the State apparently does not wish to release its interest in the area at this time.
The national significance of the geological and paleontological resources of the Upper John Day River Basin is recognized. From preliminary studies, it appears that the area is suitable for establishment as a national monument. Because of feasibility factors, however, the area is not recommended for inclusion in the National Park System.
If the future situation indicates the need for further protection or if the State should actively seek national monument status for the resource, then additional study should be made at that time, looking toward the possibility of establishing a John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. In the meantime, National Park Service efforts should be directed toward offering the State planning or other assistance which will afford adequate protection and use of the resource.

Sun's cloud and gaming execs leave Oracle
Oracle's chief Larry Ellison recently promised he'll be hiring more staff than he'll be letting go from Sun Microsystems. But he is letting Sun staff go, and now that the Sunacle deal has closed, it's becoming clear just where Oracle's priorities lie. Among the departed is chief technology officer for Sun's relatively new cloud …
Come On, Larry, Get with the ProgramMING or Race into a Perfect TitanICQ Rain Storm?
This is the important bit which you didn't carry in your article, El Reg/Gavin Clarke in San Francisco ...... "Our plan is to shut down kenai.com and focus our efforts on java.net as the hosted development community. We are in the process of migrating java.net to the kenai technology. " .... because does that suggest that Kenai is AIDriver for Java.net Master Pilots ...... and ESPecially Targeted JOINT Applications of Virtually Advanced Analytical Algorithm, which then does have one questioning the Wisdom of Oracle to both the Fool and Savants whenever one can read of this retrograde, business-suicide step ..... "Sun's copy of Amazon's cloud was killed by the Oracle deal, with the database giant's chief corporate architect Edward Screven saying last month Oracle has no plans to become a provider of hosted cloud services."
Cloud Hosted Advanced Operating Systems are what the Future and IT are All About with their SurReal Presentation of Order with Virtual Terrain Team Players* and Media Control Program Levers.
* ARGonauts on AIMissions
RIP Sun
Cheerio ChrisM
Well, a big goodbye to Chris Melissinos from Puppygames, he was one of the few people to believe in a Java games studio and a tremendous help to us over the years. It is a great shame he wasn't really given the resources to achieve his goals at Sun.
Cas :)
Don't feel sad
He'll have a nice package. At his level the very least in his pocket will be 2yrs salary + 100% potential bonus for 2 years. All detailed in the quickly revised VP/Directors payoffs in Sun's filings last year.
Fail - because senior management lined their own pockets.
Like El Reg said a couple weeks ago...
A) LJE *hates* "cloud computing" with a passion.
B) Sun should be in the business of selling hardware for people to do cloud computing, not doing the cloud computing itself.

The average British voter takes little interest in economics as a subject, being fully occupied with the economic realities of their lives.
When the government speaks of 'recovery' (which may well turn out to be a bubble largely supported by consumer spending, inflated house prices and private credit), it is worth asking, 'what is being recovered by whom?'


text:
"We are very proud of the McLaren MP4-12C and all the teamwork, intelligent thought and sheer effort that have gone into developing this car. What drives people at McLaren is passion - if you cut them, they bleed McLaren. And there is no doubt in my mind that the 12C fully reflects that focus, drive and determination in its performance, style and ownership potential," said Ron Dennis, McLaren Automotive Chairman.
"This is the start of an exciting new chapter in McLaren's history, in British high-technology engineering and manufacturing, and in global sports car design. We aim to be the best, but will leave that ultimate judgement to our first customers in 2011. Until then, we will strive to put one name at the top of the `most wanted' list for buyers of high performance sports cars: `McLaren'," he concluded.
The McLaren MP4-12C: Inside and Out, and In DetailA Carbon Fibre HeartLight weight and performance are defining philosophies at McLaren. But outright power alone is of little significance if a car's weight saps output or if that power is unmanageable and compromises the driving experience or results in unacceptable emissions.
Fundamentally, it is critical to keep weight as low as possible. Increased customer demands for safety and advanced features all mean that shaving weight is ever more difficult. However, at McLaren saving weight remains a passion and at the heart of the McLaren MP4-12C is a carbon fibre composite chassis: the Carbon MonoCell.
This revolutionary structure is the automotive version of a McLaren innovation that started with Formula 1 back in 1981 and delivers both weight savings and performance gains. It is a technology cascade in which McLaren brought carbon composite technology from the aerospace industry to make the MP4/1 F1 car, the first Formula 1 car to benefit from the strength, weight and safety of carbon fibre.
McLaren's Formula 1 carbon fibre technology then offered the company the opportunity of applying its expertise to road car applications. The first ever road car to be constructed of this material was the McLaren F1 produced in 1993, albeit in small numbers. The F1 was followed by the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren that also shared this rare expertise.
Only a handful of other cars in the market offer such technology today and all of them lie in the `ultimate' segment. No manufacturer has brought the advantages of carbon composite technology to a more affordable sector of the market. But the 12C does, through engineering passion and a relentless pursuit of efficiency.
So, McLaren did it first with the F1, the world's fastest car for many years, then in the highest volume with SLR, which almost doubled the volume of the next highest produced carbon fibre-based high performance sports car by selling over 2,100 units. Now, through revolutionary one-piece moulding of the MonoCell, McLaren brings a carbon composite chassis down to the `core' category, where currently only traditional metal structures are offered.
The advantages this technology brings are light weight, high torsional rigidity, a very strong safety cell, low perishability, ease of repair and extreme dimensional accuracy.
The 12C MonoCell weighs less than 80 kg. Carbon fibre contributes to the car's low overall weight and it forms the structural basis for the whole car. The tub's torsional rigidity is considerably stiffer than a comparable alloy structure.
This inherent lack of flex means the unique front suspension system, which is mounted directly onto the MonoCell, requires less compromise for flex of the suspension itself. Therefore, it is easier to develop the unique balance between fine ride and precise handling that McLaren has targeted. The MonoCell also offers greater occupant safety. It acts as a safety survival cell, as it does for a Formula 1 car.


text: I observe that you worry constantly about her feelings. But I see little indication that she thinks in any comparable way, ever, about your feelings.I think she does worry about my feelings; she's spent most of our marriage saying that she thought I would be better off with someone other than her, and that she can't make me happy, so I don't think it's as cut-and-dried as all that. But I do think it's fair to say that I have altered my behaviour a lot to soothe her fears over the last decade or so.

All around the country women stepped into government jobs vacated by men. More than a million women, many of them young and single, came to Washington D.C. As more men were deployed overseas, women -- both military and civilian --were admitted into professional classifications previously reserved exclusively for men. By 1944, women accounted for more than a third of civil service jobs.

Women who answered the call to government service were not promised careers. "Government Girls" as they were known could only hold their jobs for the duration of the national emergency because the federal employees who had been drafted or reassigned were entitled to reclaim their jobs at war's end.
Clerical work was a typical female job in the War Department, and women moved mountains of paper during the course of the war. Women civilian employees of the War Department were permitted to wear WAC uniforms, obscuring the distinction between military units and civilian employees.

New Strategy Shift Will Boost Microsoft
Maxwell is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) may have started a shift that will result in major releases of Windows operating system every twelve months rather than once in two or three years. According to the report, the policy is to position Microsoft for effective competition with Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG). The next Windows, if the news reports are to be believed, will roll out mid-2013, and it will be very cheap. Historically, Microsoft's growth declines until a new Windows operating system is released or when Windows is not doing well in the market. Consequently, I believe Microsoft's declining stock justifies an upgrade of Windows every year for the health of the software giant.
Revenues for Q2 were $20.89 billion, a 5% increase from the prior-year period. However, operating and net income declined in the quarter with $7.99 billion and $6.62 billion, compared with $8.17 billion and $6.63 billion, respectively, in the prior-year period.
Why did sales growth slow down? The situation was blamed to the decline of personal computers in the market and the geometric increase in the use of mobile devices. Although most of the decline in income was attributed to the low demand in personal computers and Netbook, there was also talk that sales slowed down because no new windows was launched and Windows 7 performed poorly.
Microsoft announced third quarter revenues of $17.41 billion for the quarter ended March 31, a 6% increase from the prior-year period. Operating income was $6.37 billion, up 17% from the prior-year period. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $5.11 billion and $0.60 per share, compared with $5.23 billion and $0.61 per share respectively in the prior-year period. "We're driving toward exciting launches across the entire company while delivering strong financial results," said Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft. "With the upcoming release of new Windows 8 PCs and tablets, we will be delivering exceptional value to all our customers in the years ahead." The Windows live division posted revenues of $4.62 billion, a 4% increase from the prior-year period.
Why did Microsoft post such impressive figures? Strong Window 7 adoption was said to be responsible for it, going up to 40% worldwide.
News reports announced that Microsoft suffered its first quarterly loss in its 26 years as a public company in the quarter four earnings report. Microsoft was said to have posted just $192 million, a decrease of 97%, in operating income before taxes, and earnings per share of minus $0.06. However, this figure did not include Windows 8 upgrade deferral and a write-down of Microsoft's failed aQuantive acquisition. Microsoft included them in its own announcement, reporting total revenues at $18.6 billion, up 7%, operating income at $6.9 billion, up 11%, and EPS of 73 cents, up 6%. "We delivered record fourth quarter and annual revenue, and we're fast approaching the most exciting launch season in Microsoft history," said Ballmer.
Microsoft launched Windows 8 in October, and its fortunes changed. The company has sold 40 million licenses of the operating system since its launch. "We believe Windows 8 is shaping up as one of the company's most successful products," said Tami Reller, Microsoft's chief marketing officer. "When people experience Windows 8, they find it easy to get started and fun to learn."
If we categorize Microsoft's divisions, here is what we get: Windows and Windows Live, Servers and Tools, Online Services, Business, Entertainment, and Unallocated and others. It is noticeable that had Microsoft included Windows 8 upgrade deferral in the fourth quarter report, the company would have recorded its highest revenue in history. It is also noted that strong Windows adoption improves Microsoft's performance. So when Windows is launched every year instead of once every two to three years, we can expect much from the company.
Now let's look at how Microsoft is faring in relation to the other companies. With an operating margin of 0.36, compared to 0.35 for Apple, 0.01 for Amazon (AMZN), and 0.28 for Google, and price-to-sales of 3.10, compared to 3.52 for Apple, 4.83 for Google, and 4.20 for Oracle (ORCL), Microsoft does seem to be ahead of its rivals in certain respects. And it must be noted that Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in its niche. Looking at the performance of Windows in the market and the margins, I believe Microsoft will be improved if it upgrades its Windows every year. When this becomes a reality, Microsoft will be an even more solid investment.

Thanks Shirley for taking part in this mini-giveaway and to the rest of the nice people who gave effort to RT my post! I'm looking forward to being able to do something similar to this again.
The year is about to end but I have my sights already stretched out to the last quarter of 2012. I have never plotted schedules for vacations and to-do things in advance. I'm always the last minute jetsetter. For some reason, my brain functions more when I know I have shorter time left before an actual event – for some instances, at least.

It's a place whose beauty charms visitors and whose biodiversity inspired Charles Darwin, and while tourism is one of the Galapagos Islands' greatest sources of revenue it is not without its dangers. The high numbers of people visiting the islands, both for tourism and for permanent residence, have had a significant effect on the availability of natural resources. Alongside the natural dangers of overdevelopment, tourists and new residents also bring with them new species that compete with the natural wildlife for food and habitat space. For example, in the 1800s, a small number of non-native goats were introduced to the Galapagos ecosystem and now there are an estimated 100,000 goats on Santiago Island. These goats consume a large amount of native vegetation and have begun to compete directly with the islands' emblematic, native giant tortoises, even driving some to extinction.
The islands' mockingbirds, too, are in trouble. The smart birds that so intrigued Darwin face threats from species that were not native to the islands, such as cats, rats, goats, pigs and burros. The rats and cats kill the birds and wreak havoc with their nests; and the latter three species ruined the mockingbirds' favored cactus-forest habitats. It's also thought possible that chickens brought to the islands carried with them diseases that were fatal to the mockingbirds [source: Galapagos Conservancy].
Furthermore, marine traffic, including not only cargo ships but also private vessels and those tied to tourism, has increased among the islands. The trouble with the influx of boats in the Galapagos waters is that the hull and anchors of such craft could bring with them invasive new marine species that could harm the local marine ecosystems [source: Galapagos Conservancy].
Though conservation efforts are ongoing, the challenge of protecting the Galapagos Islands' habitat is daunting when you look at the numbers. The islands have seen the introduction of 36 new vertebrate species; about 750 plant species; and 543 non-native insects [source: Galapagos Conservancy]. The geographical remoteness of the islands makes them especially vulnerable to harm from new species.

|Coon Valley, Wisconsin presently is very much recognized by many anglers from around the country for its fantastic fly-fishing on Coon Creek. This popular spring fed trout stream meanders along the western edge of this scenic small town. Besides Coon Creek, the 92,000 acres Spring Coulee Watershed Area has many more miles of excellent trout streams to fish.
The Village's Norwegian heritage dates back to its earliest settlements around 1849. Today this small Village has a population of approximately 750 residences. For an authentic experience of live during the original pioneer settlement times, a trip over to
Norskedalen would be worth planning. The name means The Norwegian Valley and this country nature center was created to preserve the culture heritage and the natural environment of the Coon Valley area. It has miles of nature trails and a recreation of an old-time farmstead to tour.
After a day of fly-fishing and stop at Norskedalen, be sure to plan dinner at Disciasios, which is a town fixture. The restaurant features fine Italian cuisine and a great wine selection, you won't be disappointed. Another major advantage the Village has it its short commute into LaCrosse so homes in the area are in demand and usually sell quickly. There is also a strong second home demand for weekend fishing retreats and parcels of vacant land. Many buyers come seeking property from Milwaukee, Chicago, as well as Minneapolis because of the terrific trout streams and the scenic beauty of the area

Getting To Know... Magdalena Rybarikova
Published August 06, 2009 05:17
BAD GASTEIN, Austria - Along with Russia, France, China and Spain, Slovakia is one of a handful of countries that can boast three players in the current Top 50 - not bad for a nation of fewer than 6 million people. And while 20-year-old Magdalena Rybarikova currently ranks as the Slovak No.3, she has something that her top-ranked compatriot Dominika Cibulkova doesn't - a singles title to her name on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour.
That win came on grass at the AEGON Classic at Birmingham in June, with fine wins against Chinese stars Zheng Jie and Li Na along the way. But maybe it wasn't such a surprise, given the 5'11" (1.8m) right-hander was runner-up to Caroline Wozniacki in the Wimbledon juniors in 2006. Having improved her ranking from No.279 to No.58 over the course of 2008, Rybarikova's ranking subsequently reached a new high of No.40, and she is trading around that mark at the moment.
Sonyericssonwtatour.com spoke with Magdalena after her recent quarterfinal run at the Nürnberger Gastein Ladies, before the three-time Tour hardcourt semifinalist set off to the US to launch her North American campaign at next week's Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Cincinnati.
What's your background in tennis?
MR: I started to play when I was eight in my home town of Piestany, where there are lots of tennis courts, and when I was 15 I left to train at the national tennis centre in Bratislava. My coach now is Mojmir Mihal and my fitness trainer is Ladislav Olasz.
Tell us about your family.
MR: My mom's name is Maria and my father, Anton, is a business manager. My sister Nada is 22 and studying law at university. My brother Filip is 21 and works for a building company in Bratislava. And we have an Irish setter - her name is Sindy.
Piestany is Slovakia's most famous spa town. Do you enjoy 'taking the waters'?
MR: For sure. Actually, I still go back there at the end of every season to relax and recover my body with the various treatments.
Do you feel different after your tournament win?
MR: I played very well at Birmingham and it was definitely the best moment of my career so far, but three days before Wimbledon I got a shoulder injury and I lost in the first round. After that I had to pull out of Budapest and only started to play five days before the start of Prague, where I lost again in the first round. It's not that I don't like clay, but it's not my best surface, so I am happy to have reached the quarters in Bad Gastein. But I haven't really built on the momentum of the title as I would have liked. I'm looking forward to the hardcourt season for a fresh start.
What do you feel you need to do to take your game to the next level?
MR: I need to keep working hard on all the physical stuff. Sometimes I have problems in tough three set matches - I can get a bit tired, so my endurance can be improved. And I need more muscles!
You are part of a strong Fed Cup team, with Cibulkova and Daniela Hantuchova. What's it like being part of that environment?
MR: I enjoy Fed Cup a lot, the mood is good, especially playing at home. The pressure of the situation is also good experience for Tour tournaments. This year we only just missed out on returning to the World Group but I think we have a great chance next year with this team. Obviously we know each other's games very well but I have never played Daniela or Dominika on Tour. That could be tough - a different kind of pressure.
What's the best thing, and the hardest thing about life on Tour?
MR: I like to play tennis, I like to be at tournaments, but at the same time I don't really like being 'here' one day, 'there' the next. I don't enjoy the travel, the flying or being in the car. I miss my friends, and of course my family - although that was worse when I was younger. And I miss the food at home.
This might be a silly question, but do you have a favorite tournament?
MR: I love to play on grass, so I always loved Wimbledon, but, I would have to say Birmingham now. I also really like the US Open.
If you could play one of the retired greats, who would you like to take on?
MR: I really liked the way Martina Hingis played tennis - she was very smart on the court. I respect the fact she was a Grand Slam champion at such a young age. And she was born in Slovakia. He's not retired and I won't get to play him, but I'm a big fan of Roger Federer too.
If you could steal a shot from another player, what would it be?
MR: It's not a stroke but I admire Safina's fighting spirit. She's a big fighter and has worked really hard to get to No.1.
Do you have any superstitions?
MR: I have a toy bear, a lucky teddy that I have carried with me for three years. It was a gift, but I won't tell you who from!
The photo of you on your player bio on Sonyericssonwtatour.com is quite glamorous, slightly retro. Do you enjoy off-court activities like that?
MR: The shots were taken for a newspaper in Slovakia earlier in the year and it was a very nice experience. It was great to be pampered by professional make-up artists and stylists. They chose the look but I was really happy with it. Generally, though, I'm more low key. I'm not a big party-goer, you don't usually find me at discos or bars. I like going to the cinema, having coffee with my friends, chatting on the internet.
What are your tennis goals at present?
MR: At the start of the year I said I wanted to be Top 20, but that will be very hard to achieve now. I'm playing in some tough tournaments and I have points to defend, and the season is more than half over. Maybe Top 30 is still within reach this year, and perhaps Top 20 next year. Then Top 10. Of course, ultimately I hope to be No.1 and win a Grand Slam, but I'll have to work hard and gain more confidence. I'm only turn 21 in October, so I'm not old. I have time.
If not tennis…
MR: I might have studied archaeology… I like the Indiana Jones movies!

Rita L. Valentini
NORTH SMITHFIELD- Rita L. Valentini, 90, of North Smithfield, passed away on Monday, January 9, 2012, at the Landmark Medical Center in Woonsocket.
She was born Tuesday, October 18, 1921 in Worcester, MA, daughter of the late Henry and Roseanna (Cotnoir) Gentes.
She was a longtime resident of Woonsocket, and during that time, Rita had worked as a spinner for Falls Yarn for over 30 years before retiring to Winter Haven, Florida with her husband Julio. Together, they resided in Florida for over 20 years, before Rita moved back to Rhode Island.
Norma E.
LADY LAKE, FL- Norma E. (Gendron) Beauregard, 68, formerly of Lincoln died Monday, January 9, 2012 at the home of her son, Todd A. Beauregard of Glocester. She was the wife of the late Eugene A. Beauregard.
Born in Valley Falls, a daughter of the late Antonio and Beatrice (Laroque) Gendron, she had lived in Lincoln over 30 years before moving to Florida 7 years ago.
Mrs. Beauregard was a quality control inspector for Texas Instruments, Attleboro, MA for over 30 years before retiring.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō On a night the offense struggled mightily, East ProvidenceŌĆÖs defense rose to the occasion, especially at the end of the opening half, and fetched the Townies an important Division I-North victory over Woonsocket on Tuesday night.
The TowniesŌĆÖ ŌĆśDŌĆÖ forced the Novans to commit the bulk of their 20 turnovers and played a big role in an 18-point run in the first half by keeping their hosts scoreless for eight-plus minutes, and in the process, helping produce a 54-39 triumph.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Mount St. Charles, Cumberland and Lincoln swept their opponents on Monday night in a Northern Division meet.
Mount swept Shea and St. Raphael while Cumberland rolled over Ponaganset and Woonsocket. Lincoln topped Central Falls and Tolman.
Several of the usual suspects stood out with strong performances. WoonsocketŌĆÖs Jalen Evans swept the 55-meter dash (6.6 seconds) and 300-meter race (38.0). TolmanŌĆÖs Homlin Taylor won his sprint in 6.7 seconds.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö If all goes according to plan, a prominent traffic island will soon feature a permanent display of public art honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his message of racial tolerance.
The unique display at the junction of Mason and South Main streets will depict a likeness of the slain civil rights leader ministering to a half-dozen children and adults. The figures are reminiscent of the pop-up silhouettes of storybook art, except in this case theyŌĆÖll be carved from thick plate steel and slightly bigger than life size, weighing hundreds of pounds each.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆö On a day when Lincoln Patrolman Edward M. Krawetz took the stand and claimed his kick to the head of a sitting, handcuffed woman was made in self-defense, both his lawyer and the prosecutor told Superior Court Judge Edward C. Clifton they would be ready for closing arguments this morning.
Attorney John Harwood had made a motion after the defense rested Tuesday afternoon to dismiss the case, but Assistant Attorney General Stephen Regine explained to the judge he saw no reason why it should be. Those arguments will be included in their closing remarks.
Felix A. Lima
CUMBERLAND- Felix A. Lima (87), of Cumberland, was born in Pawtucket, RI, the eldest of four children of Jose and Maria (Luiz) Lima. He was the loving husband of Delia (Rego) Lima for sixty-six years.
Lucille A.
WOONSOCKET- Lucille A. (Plasse) (Morin) Desaulniers, 85, of St. Paul St. North Smithfield, died Monday morning at The Friendly Home. She was the wife of the late Gerard L. Morin and George A. Desaulniers.
Born in Woonsocket, she was a daughter of the late Edouard and Laura (Jacob) Plasse. She resided in Woonsocket for most of her life and also lived in Cumberland and later in North Smithfield.
Mrs. Desaulniers was employed as a seamstress at several area firms and also worked at the former McCarthy's Department Store and later at Save Rite.
Gloria L. Provencal
LINCOLN- Gloria L. (Beaudry) Provencal, of 2 School St., Lincoln, RI and Deerfield Beach, FL died peacefully Friday, January 6, 2012 surrounded by her children. She was the beloved wife of the late Normand J. Provencal.
Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late Omer and Eva (Dubois) Beaudry.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆö At this point Woonsocket High has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
In a season short on results and long on frustrating moments, head coach Kyle Ivey-Jones has decided to turn over a new leaf and give some of programŌĆÖs younger players the chance to hang with the varsity. Several Villa Novans received their baptism-by-fire Monday night with Bishop Hendricken serving as the instructor in a 55-32 Hawk win.

Chapter Six0 Reviews
Ivan, Sheba, and Kraden accidentally put the whole world in peril while investigating the buried ruins of the Venus Tribe.
Ivan said nothing in response, but formed three blades of compressed air and sent them spinning towards Donn, who with a motion raised a shield of earth. The blades impacted on it's surface, sending clods of dirt flying.
"Fine," Donn said, "have it your way."
With a shout, Donn struck the earth with both hands, and a ripple passed through the ground between them. Ivan leaped to the right, sending small bursts of air through his feet to propel him out of the way. The ground he had stood on flew upwards. Donn gestured again, and part of the tomb's ceiling fell above Ivan. Ivan pushed off, boosting himself with another burst of air, and then pushed off the side of a boulder that Donn had raised in his path. He leapt off the top of a stone spire intended to impale him, pushed off several thrown boulders, and then he was sailing through the air towards Donn with nothing in between them.
Donn clenched his fists and heaved upwards, as though pulling on something. An enormous boulder pulled itself out of the ground and interposed itself between him and Ivan. With a grunt, he thrust his fists forward, sending the boulder hurtling toward Ivan's falling form.
Ivan clapped his hands together, inhaled deeply, and then breathed out, sending a spear of compressed air down into the incoming boulder. He blew a small hole in the middle, and then expanded it, breaking the boulder apart into a dozen pieces. He fell down through the gap at the center, flying straight into a surprised Donn.
As he fell down, Ivan lashed out with the heel of his hand, forcing Donn to raise one arm to block it. Ivan landed, then kicked out with his right foot, catching Donn on the ankle. Donn staggered, suddenly off balance, as Ivan completed the turn and brought both hands up, sending Donn flying off his feet with a great gust of wind. As Donn was suspended in the air, Ivan brought both hands back to his side, and then thrust them out again, this time charged with lightning. He sent two bolts sailing through the air towards Donn's airborne form.
Donn moved his arms in an upward motion, and a sheet of rock pulled itself out of the ground, intercepting the lightning bolts. It exploded underneath the enormous power, and the force sent Donn flying into a wall. He impacted with a thud and fell to the ground. He pulled himself back up to a sitting position, wiping the blood from his chin with the back of his hand.
"Not bad," he conceded with a grin. "Not bad at all. This should be fun after all."
"I'm going to kill you," Ivan informed him.
"You're going to try," Donn replied.
Ivan leapt forward once more, propelled by a burst of air, but Donn threw out one fist and a fist of stone burst forth from the wall behind him, swinging towards Ivan. Ivan managed to roll, catching it on his shoulder, but it still sent him skidding across the stone floor. He pulled himself to his feet, and managed to jump out of the way just before a pair of stone spears impacted right where his head had been.
Ivan pressed the attack, moving forwards while turning about, deflecting attacks from all sides. The smaller rocks he sent spinning away with blasts of air. The larger ones he vaporized with bolts of lightning. Donn continued to hurl small rocks at him, trying to break through his defense.
Donn reached down and pulled another huge rock out of the ground, and sent it flying at Ivan. This time, Ivan set his feet and blasted it with a powerful gale, trying to send it back at Donn. For a moment, the stone hovered, going neither one way nor the other, pushed on one side by Donn's psynergetic might and on the other by Ivan's hurricane-force winds.
In the end, Donn won.
The enormous rock slammed violently into Ivan, sending him flying backwards. He hit the wall with a sickening crunch, and then fell to the ground as limp as a rag doll. He felt his ribs with his hands once more. Alright, /now they're broken/. He struggled to his feet, trying hard to ignore the searing pain in his side, to get up and fight regardless, but he knew it was futile. Perhaps outside, where Ivan had room to maneuver and could unleash the full fury of the sky, he could defeat Donn, but not here. Not in these close quarters, and surrounded by Donn's element of choice.
"Give it up, little man!" Donn shouted, sending two boulders at him. Ivan deflected one with a blast of air, but the other hit him across the face, sending him down to the ground again. "You put up a better fight than I expected, but you never really stood a chance."
Donn gestured as he stepped forward, and two stone arms grew out of the ground on either side of Ivan, grabbing him by his throat and hoisting him up into a standing position. Ivan clawed at the hands, but their grip was unbreakable.
"Any last words?" Donn asked, leaning forward over Ivan's squirming body.
"Yeah, I've got one," Ivan said, glaring at his captor. "/Burn/."
Ivan's hands darted out and grabbed Donn's wrists, his palms crackling with lightning. Donn screamed and pulled away as the electricity coursed through him, but Ivan held on with all of his strength. The hands at his throat crumbled as Donn's concentration faded into the brilliant white light of lightning. Ivan bore down on him, not releasing his hands until Donn's skin was scorched and blackened.
Ivan threw Donn's smoking husk to the ground, wiping off his hands in disgust. He staggered over to where the sword was sticking out of Sheba's body, and sat down beside her. His ribs were giving him trouble, and it felt like his nose was broken, but he would survive. He was the only one. He'd have to stagger back to town and tell everyone what had happened. Go back to Angara and tell Isaac and Garet and the others what had happened. He was not looking forward to it.
He didn't think they would be able to get Sheba's body off the blade without removing it, and he would not allow anyone to pull that thing out. It was just too dangerous. Kraden didn't have a body anymore, or least not one likely to be in any recognizable shape. Neither would get a proper burial. This 'Tomb' would finally fulfill its function, and be their final resting place.
"I'm sorry, Sheba," Ivan said as tears fell down his face, "I'm really sorry."

There have been some interesting discussions in the last week or so re: maintaining legacy sites and making sure 404 errors aren't the most common decoration on your site about the history of cats during the French Revolution. The thing is, this problem has been around since…well, since Oregon Trail was the most well-known form of digital history scholarship, and there really isn't a solution.
Category Archives: Digital Scholarship
Digital Humanities Now: Designing Information Flow
This week, our group met with the team behind Digital Humanities Now, an online compendium and journal that searches out and disseminates important scholarship throughout the digital humanities. Although the team has an official editorial staff of three (a number that likely fluctuates with funding), the time required to survey the many thousands of sources can quickly overwhelm even the most efficient team.

My picture of @AmyTFalcone and @ErikaMoen
So I've been obsessively watching Strip Search since it began. Joe teases me, and says that he hopes that someone creates a reality tv show about queer and trans theorists, so he has something to watch too.
Erika Moen and Amy Falcone are contestants, and whilst I have been a long time fanboy of Erika, I have now developed a new slightly-creepy-fan-crush on Amy. Also (!!) They are totes bffs on the show! So I drew fanart of them combining pictures of them from my favourite moments of them in the show (Amy's one is from Episode 1, and Erika's one is from Episode 6)
Crossposted from: : http://www.roostertailscomic.com/?p=1569
I love that Erika Moen choose to reblog this. also strips earch ftw.
Cutest. This was such a great moment.
I dunno how these things work.

Obsessed with Vintage Cooking and Serving Collectibles?
We love our orangey-red enamel Dansk pot that a friend gave us. Everything about it, from its distinctive shape and handle to its cheery color makes us nostalgic for our childhood in a happy way. In fact, we like it so much, it lives out on our stovetop...
... and doesn't get put away with the other pots and pans. It definitely has pride of place and is now part of the decor as well as a functional item.
We have what seems like a large number of friends who feel the same way about vintage cookware and tabletop goods - and some have built up an impressive amount of these usuable "collectibles".
We're wondering if this is true for AT readers as well - does vintage play a big part in your kitchen decor? Tell us which pieces you love in the comments below...and whether you use them or if they are just "for show".
Image: 1970's Nutcrackers by Stig Jorgensen via Classic-Modern
18 Comments
It's safe to say that half of my kitchen wares are vintage. I've got a large collection of Pyrex bowls and casserole dishes that are used often and instead of put away in a cupboard, are proudly displayed on open shelving. There's something comforting to me about vintage kitchen wares. They carry a story.
Well, my wine rack is from the 1970s- Lucite with a silver handle. My parents got it as a wedding gift. I keep it out even when I have no wine!
There's something very satisfying about using vintage kitchenware. My favorites are 50s-60s Pyrex and spun metal canisters. Ooh, and my grandma's old Kitchenaid mixer!
Why buy new when there are so many beautiful and functional vintage pieces out there?
What are those screw things?
kiljoywashere - I think i's nutcrackers
I love vintage enamelware, mugs and other ceramics, tea towels, and canisters. Sometimes (as in the case of linens), vintage stuff is actually better quality but can be had at a lower price.
kiljoywashere-they are nutcrackers. My mum had one.
Hey, I have that nutcracker - got a white one as a gift a zillion years ago. It actually works pretty well, too.
When I lived in VT there was a fantastic antique store nearby that sold fully function antique kitchen ware. My favorites are the 4-in-one cheese grater and the aluminum juicer -- it works better than any juicer I've ever come across!
between things handed down in the family and thrift-store finds, we have a fair number of vintage kitchen bits. my favourite recent find for $8 was a bodum chrome kettle from the 70s. no whistle but who cares?! =) also one of those deep Finel enamelled bowls found in fantastic condition for $2, the shape of which is like one we had when i grew up even if the design is different. i also have a set of puebla cups and saucers that i can only serve dry foods in, but i can't bear to part with them, even though Mexican decor isn't our style. the irregularity and obvious hand craftsmanship are too wonderful to get rid of. =)
I just had an intense flashback to childhood... we had that nutcracker in yellow! It would always be sitting in a bowl of nuts on the kitchen table and it was fun to use. I must ask my mother if she still has it stashed away somewhere.
I display all of my special cookware on my stovetop. A green enameled dutch oven from Ikea's SENIOR collection, a sunny yellow Dansk pot, a flame Le Creuset skillet, a red Dansk sauce pan, a turquoise Le Creuset stock pot, and a black and yellow polka dot enameled pot. I also have vintage canisters from Australia with Airstream-like labels on them. A pic of my kitchen can be seen here:
I use everything daily.
I love all and ANY vintage housewares. I am obsessed.
I have a ton of Pyrex though, and I also sell a lot. I have an enormous set of vintage Pyrex dishes we use as our every day dishes and a collection of vintage mugs that are used and displayed in the kitchen.
I LOVE using vintage dishes, and there are always plenty on my table and displayed proudly in my kitchen. I am in love with the old fire king milk glass white things, and i recently picked up this amazing set of orange, turquoise and golden yellow mixing bowls...needless to say, those stay out on my counter when i'm not using them to serve. They hold unhusked corn, apples, or nothing at all. and i have an antique jelly cabinet full of other vintage treasures i've picked up here and there. i can't stop. :)
Love using tried and true vintage (and I mean stuff from the 1930's and 1940's and earlier) kitchen stuff: cookie sheets, loaf pans, mixing bowls, cast iron skillets, soup tureens, dishes, glasses... I hardly have anything new.
I have a ton of Dansk, inherited from my brother who went through a Dansk obsession a few years back. My favorite is the red-orange paella pan. I have an entire set in red a blue covered pot, a brown covered pot, a brown casserole and a huge yellow saute pan which dominates my poor 24 inch stovetop night and day.
Also, my mom has a vintage set of steel canisters that have copper tops embossed with Coffee, Tea and Flour.... I love those.
Oh... and my most beloved object is a well used very heavy cast iron fry pan that my mother bought (along with a colander she still won't give up) the day after she got married.

Student savours being campus bar landlord
I wonder how it would feel to be landlord of one of the campus's biggest bars…
Well, Langwith Chair Jack Baker paid £235 in the RAG Blagathon for the experience earlier this term and has taken on the role for a week so The Yorker caught up with him to find out what he's been up to in his new position.
Jack spoke to us earlier in the week about taking over the Courtyard for week nine and revealed his excitement, saying "I'm in the Courtyard near enough every day as it is, so I think it's great that I finally have a chance to pretend to own it."
It seems that his dreams have well and truly been fulfilled, thanks to the kindness and efforts of actual Courtyard landlord Laurie, who has rebranded staff uniforms and the bar to display 'Baker's Dozen', Jack's chosen name for the bar for his time in charge.
Jack also received three bottles of champagne, an engraved tankard to remind him of the purchase and he has a personal booth in the bar reserved for himself and his friends for the week.
Despite taking on his role a few days later than expected after a delay in the rebranding, Psychology student Jack admits that the experience has been amazing and he is enjoying all the special treatment he has been receiving…wouldn't we all!
"Baker's Dozen is pretty cool, but it is most definitely affecting my ego in ways I couldn't have predicted," he said. "It is quite nice to be able to wander into the bar and be able to sit down in my booth with friends even during the lunch rush-hour."
Jack says he has spent most of his time in this personal booth over the last few days, although he isn't required to be on site all the time, and I imagine he has received many jealous looks from the students fighting for a space in the popular bar.
"Laurie and Paul have been especially great and I've heard rumours they've even kicked people out of the booth when I wasn't there - a bit surreal to be honest," he revealed.
"The bar staff have been lovely so far and don't seem to hate me too much for being responsible for making them wear Baker's Dozen branded t-shirts!"
He added that he will be taking full advantage of the personal booth and drinks available while he can, saying: "I plan on having my round of drinks and bottles of champers during the Langwith/YUSU bar quiz on Sunday, so watch out for a very wobbly Jack Baker in Revs that night..."
On a serious note, Jack reflected that the experience has been a fantastic one so far and is something that will remain with him for ever.
He said: "Aside from the extremely large (albeit unreasonable) boost to the old ego, it is genuinely awesome to say that I have this opportunity and will no doubt remember it for the rest of my life."
The Yorker will be speaking to Jack, landlord of 'Baker's Dozen', again later in the week to reflect back on his time in charge so don't miss it!

One of the most amazing things is having someone fall in love with you | CourtesyFOLLOW BEST LOVE QUOTES ON TUMBLR FOR MORE LOVE QUOTES
friends are one of the people in your life that can break your heart more than anyone else. like when they tell you there grounded just because they don't want to hang out with you. when you have classes with them and they don't even look at you not even once. and your sitting there wondering what you did wrong. One day you go from being bestfriends then the next you stop talking to them for no reason. & your sitting there in your room late at night think of all the things you could have done to make them hate you. Pooring your eyes out. But not telling them because they never text u back anymore:/ yeah that's how I feel
