COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For the third time in four years, Ohio
State has a date in the desert.
The Buckeyes (9-2) accepted an invitation on Sunday to meet
Notre Dame in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, also their bowl destination
in the magical championship year of 2002 and again in 2003.
"The main thing about it is we're going to feel comfortable out
there," safety Nate Salley said. "It's almost like our second
home and that's an advantage for us."
The battle against the Fighting Irish (9-2) will take place at
4:30 p.m. on Jan. 2 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
It's a dream matchup in many ways, pitting two teams on a roll
who could easily have been playing in the national championship
game had a play or two gone their way.
Ohio State has won its last six games, thanks to a defense led
by linebacker A.J. Hawk and a versatile offense featuring
quarterback Troy Smith and tailback Antonio Pittman.
Notre Dame is one of the biggest surprises in college football
in Charlie Weis' first year as head coach, making a dramatic
turnaround from last year's 6-5 record. The Fighting Irish came
into this season 11-16 in their previous 27 games.
"He's done a tremendous job," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel
said of his Notre Dame counterpart. "Charlie and his staff have
come in and taken them to the next level."
Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith was on the Fiesta Bowl
board when he was the AD at Arizona State. He said he was in steady
contact with seven or eight people currently on the board to lobby
for the Buckeyes.
"I'm a life member of the Fiesta Bowl board," Smith said.
"Unfortunately for them -- or fortunately for me -- I had all their
cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses and I was working them
pretty hard last week."
This will be the fifth time the Fighting Irish and Buckeyes have
met, the first time at a neutral site or in a bowl.
Notre Dame won the first two meetings, 18-13 in 1935 in what
many historians have referred to as one of the greatest college
games ever. The Fighting Irish also won a year later, 7-2.
After a 60-year gap, the teams met again in back-to-back years
in 1995-96, with Ohio State taking both games, by scores of 45-26
and 29-16.
Smith, who graduated from Notre Dame in 1977 and played
defensive end on the Fighting Irish's 1973 national championship
team, said his allegiance has changed.
"I'm not a dues-paying member of the Notre Dame Alumni
Association," he said.
Tressel said when he was growing up his two favorite Notre Dame
players were quarterback Joe Theismann and Smith.
"I'll get a few brownie points here," Tressel said with a
The Fighting Irish and Buckeyes share many similarities. One of
the biggest is that, although neither team beat any elite teams
this season -- neither has a win over a team currently ranked in the
Associated Press Top 25 -- both came close to perfection.
Notre Dame's only losses came to then-unbeaten Michigan State,
44-41 in overtime on Sept. 17, and to No. 1-ranked and two-time
defending national champion USC, 34-31 on Oct. 15. The Trojans'
Matt Leinart sneaked across -- Fighting Irish fans said he was
pushed across by tailback Reggie Bush -- from a yard out on the
game's final play.
Ohio State lost 25-22 to No. 2 Texas on Sept. 10 and then
dropped a 17-10 decision at Penn State on Oct. 8. The Buckeyes
ended up tying the Nittany Lions for the Big Ten title, but Penn
State earned the conference's automatic BCS berth by virtue of
winning the head-to-head battle and having a better overall record
and BCS ranking.
The Fighting Irish are led by a quarterback who grew up not far
from Ohio Stadium. Brady Quinn, expected to be among the top five
in the Heisman Trophy balloting later this week, is from suburban
Dublin. The 6-foot-4 junior has completed 65 percent of his passes
this season for 32 touchdowns with only 7 interceptions.
"Brady was a great high school quarterback and we were very
interested in him coming here," Tressel said. "He's done a great
job. He took the opportunities at Notre Dame and has grown with
The Irish have lost seven straight bowl games.
"That's something that obviously needs to end," Quinn said.
"It's been going on far too long."
For weeks -- ever since the Buckeyes ended their regular season
with a last-minute, 25-21 victory over rival Michigan on Nov. 19 --
there had been speculation that Ohio State might end up paired with
the Fighting Irish. The losses Saturday night by LSU and Virginia
Tech, two of the teams ahead of the Buckeyes in the Bowl
Championship Series standings, put the final stamp on the matchup.
Ohio State and Notre Dame both ended up as automatic BCS game
Richelle Simonson, Ohio State's athletic ticket director, said
the Fiesta Bowl had allotted 16,000 tickets to each of the
participating universities.
"We anticipate tremendous demand," she said.
A lottery will be used for students and for faculty and staff.
Ohio State will not offer any tickets for public sale.
The Fiesta Bowl conjures up sweet memories for Ohio State and
its fans. The Buckeyes' 31-24 double-overtime victory over
top-ranked Miami in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl gave them their first
national championship in 34 years.
They came back to the Fiesta Bowl the very next year and beat Kansas
State 35-28 to cap an 11-2 season.
This will be the Buckeyes' 37th bowl game and fourth trip to the
Fiesta. They have won their last three bowl games after losing nine
of 12.
The Buckeyes will meet on Thursday to begin preparations, will
be off from Dec. 21 through Christmas Day, and then will depart
Dec. 26 for the game.

Hi - first, thanks for the great plugin!
I'd like to know how to view the source of the 'popup' so I can see the elements I can style. The main items are that I need to change the background color to something other than black/charcoal. Also need to fix the fact that in IE7 the modal form takes up about 95% of the window width, a totally different behavior than Firefox.
Thanks for the help -

If the charge in the capacitor is large enough, you'll get a nice little shock:-), as the capacitor will discharge through you.

Nightfall was quickly setting in as Joslyn Brough approached the ball on Metro State's 10th penalty kick.
There wasn't much going through the sophomore's mind except three scoring opportunities that had escaped her during regulation play against West Texas A&M.
And as the sun faded below the horizon Wednesday at the Pitch in Canyon, so did the Lady Buffs' season as Brough pushed her penalty kick past WT goalie Brigid Maruszak, giving the Lady Roadrunners a 2-1 shootout victory in the first round of the NCAA Division II playoffs.
"I know it was my shot, but it was my whole team behind me that made that shot go in," said Brough, who saw Metro State (18-2-2) survive two overtime periods and a five-shot extra frame to capture the Midwest Regional final.
Metro State Penalty Shot: WT goalie Brigid Maruszak looks back Wednesday after giving up a penalty-shot goal during the shootout period against Metro State. The Lady Buffs lost on penalty kicks, 2-1.
Michael Lemmons / email@example.com
"I've been playing soccer for than 17 years, and the one thing I always hate is to see a game as important as this end in a sudden-death shootout because both teams deserved to go on.
"But only one gets to go, and that's us."
Brough's game-winner was redemption for the Littleton, Colo. native. Twice in the first half and once in the second, the sophomore worked behind the WT defense but was unable to score.
That didn't happen on her fourth attempt.
"Obviously, she wasn't at the top of our list on penalty kicks. But as long as we put it in the back of the net, I could care less who kicked it," said first-year Metro State head coach Danny Sanchez, whose team reversed a 6-13 record in 2001 and is headed to Edmond, Okla. to face Midwest No. 1 seed Central Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Metro State 2
West Texas A&M 1
Records: Metro State 18-2-2, West Texas A&M 16-4-0
Impact: Metro State advances to the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament, ousting WT from the postseason.
Key Stat: Though the Lady Buffs scored on their first three penalty shots during the sudden-death shootout, Metro State responded each time with a goal.
"The fact that she did it was a little ironic."
The Lady Buffs had a myriad of chances to end the contest, particularly in the two overtime periods and the subsequent shootouts. Following a 1-for-5 stalemate in the initial shootout, WT senior Heather McCullough smashed the Lady Buffs' first sudden-death penalty kick past freshman goalie Mandy Allen.
With momentum secured by WT, all Maruszak had to do was stop Metro State's Emily Miller. But the freshman forward froze the first-year goalie and knotted the shootout 1-1.
"We weren't very good today," said WT head coach Butch Lauffer, who has seen his last two teams in as many years get ousted from the first round of the postseason.
"We didn't create a lot of chances, today. We weren't ourselves, that's for sure."
Senior forward Kathy Clutterbuck, whose team lost two of its last four matches in extra periods, said WT's lack of execution was the primary culprit of its demise.
"It's so frustrating looking back on it and seeing how much better we were as a team (this year)," said the 5-foot-2 Canadian, who saw WT outshoot the Lady Roadrunners 18-12 but only managed two corner kicks.
"We didn't come out and play today. We made some mistakes, and we didn't put our chances away. In games like this, you have to finish them off in the beginning."
The Lady Buffs encountered a devastating blow to their offense five minutes into the match. Senior forward Jessica Rodriguez, the team's leading scorer, suffered a pulled hamstring in her left leg and never returned.
It was a tremendous loss for WT, which never found a suitable replacement for the speedster from Midland.
"It was tough because Jessica is a guiding force for us up top," Clutterbuck said. "She's a workhorse. Maybe it was a turning point. We were playing well up until then. Losing Jessica was huge."
The loss of Rodriguez took its toll on the Lady Buffs in the first half, but they seemed unfazed less than a minute into the second.
With a stiff southwest wind blowing in WT's face, Daisy Lopez came off the bench and immediately made her presence felt. After Aubrie Hunter beat Kristen Nason and started toward Metro State's goal, Hunter passed to the junior in the right corner of the Lady Roadrunners' half of the field.
Lopez corralled the ball and pushed ahead toward the goal. She fired what appeared to be a crossing shot, but the ball tailed inward and into the net to give WT a 1-0 lead.
But that lead didn't hold up for long.
The Lady Roadrunners took the kickoff and pushed back into WT territory. Meisha Pyke tried a centering pass from the left side of the goal. But with the exception of WT's Roxanne Sides, no Metro State player was in sight.
That's when Sides committed a mistake. Although it was inadvertent, the ball hit the freshman's hand, and she was whistled for the foul by head referee Fernando Galvan.
The foul gave Metro State a penalty kick in the center of the goal and from 10 yards out.
Jenelle Brandt scored her 11th goal of the season when she slammed the penalty kick past a diving Maruszak. It was 1-1 at the 49-minute mark.
"Maybe we assumed we were going to win, and we were thinking ahead to playing Central and not taking this thing seriously," Clutterbuck said.
"We knew what we had to do, but we couldn't finish it."
The Lady Roadrunners had their share of chances to prevent two scoreless overtime periods and a shootout, including Brough's second-half attempt. With less than 20 minutes remaining in regulation, Brough got behind junior defender Carianne Skinner and took a long pass from Kristen Nason.
Brough had the position to take a shot from 18 yards out, but at the last moment she lost her footing, fell down and relinquished possession back to WT.
She made up for it in the end.
"We played so hard to win this game," said a jubilated Brough. "As a soccer player, it was the best feeling in the world when I saw that ball go in the net.
"I almost knew that the goalkeeper was going to dive one way or another so I just kicked it down the middle."

Radiation Colitis
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What is radiation colitis?
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
Radiation Colitis is a manifestation of inflammation and damage to the colon and it is caused by radiation. It presents with spasm, cramping pain, diarrhea, mucous and blood in the bowel movements. It usually resolves on its own, but may leave some scarring that can infrequently cause later ulcers in the large intestine. In its worst form it can cause blockages of the intestine or fistulae. It is usually treated conservatively with antispasmodics and fiber. The acute phase may take 6 months to resolve and may wax and wane as it resolves.

Public health seeks to improve human health through the development and application of knowledge that prevents disease, protects the public from harm, and promotes health throughout the state, the nation, and the world.
Under the public health major, undergraduates will develop and apply knowledge from multiple disciplines for the promotion and protection of the health of the human population, giving due consideration to principles of human rights and cultural perspectives that abound in our multicultural country and world.
Berkeley Public Health Undergrad Peer Advisors Talk About the Major
About a Capped Major
Every semester, we have to turn away several great candidates because of limited capacity. Because we are a capped major, you should also have backup majors in mind. The most common backup majors are:
- American Studies with a focus in Health
- Psychology
- Social Welfare
- Interdisciplinary Studies
- Integrative Biology
- Molecular Cell Biology
Although the major remains capped, we do encourage all qualified students to apply. To qualify, you must have completed the prerequisites in math, bio, and social sciences, with a minimum passing grade in all of the prerequisites. You may not apply to the major if you have earned more than 80 college semester credits; this only includes credits earned after high school.
Declaring the Major
You may apply to declare a major in Public Health after you complete the lower division requirements, generally at the end of your sophomore year. In 2016, the opportunities to apply will be May 17–31 (spring), August 17–31 (summer), and December 17–31 (fall). Transfer students should apply during the fall dates, after completing the prerequisite coursework at community college and are ready to declare the major at the beginning of their first semester at UC Berkeley.
To declare a major in Public Health, you must first complete all of the lower division prerequisites (mathematics, biology, and social sciences). After you fulfill these requirements, submit an application and application essay, carefully following the instructions.
Go to application and instructions
The application to declare the Public Health major includes: A) a review of your academic preparation (coursework and GPA), and B) two application essays: 1) a Statement of Purpose that describes the pathway that led you to your interest in this field of study, your experience relevant to Public Health (including volunteering), and your long-term ambitions for what you are thinking about doing with a degree in Public Health, and 2) a Personal History Statement, which gives you the opportunity to add individuality and depth to the information provided in your Statement of Purpose. Your Personal History Statement can include information about who you are as a person, your family background, cultural background, socioeconomic status, educational disadvantages, and experiences growing up. It is intended to give you the opportunity to provide a narrative about your diverse lived-experiences. For guidelines, please see the Personal History Statement Guide on the UC Berkeley Graduate Division website.
All applications will be reviewed by Public Health faculty.
As you go about completing the prerequisites for Public Health, you should at the same time be taking all necessary steps to prepare yourself to declare an alternate major. According to the Academic Senate regulations, a student should declare a major when they reach 60 units of coursework. Please keep this in mind as you decide on the major that is right for you.
While we will do our best to bring in all qualified students, there is no guarantee that any one particular student will be admitted into the major. Therefore, students interested in the Public Health major should be prepared for a back-up major just in case they are not selected. Students hopeful of making a valuable contribution to our public health should be prepared to declare alternative majors such as Anthropology, Molecular and Cell Biology, Integrative Biology, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Communications, Conservation Resource Studies, Earth and Planetary Science, the ISF (Interdisciplinary Studies) Major, American Studies, Social Welfare, or Psychology—just to list a few. Our public health demands everyone's attention—there are myriad undergraduate majors here at Berkeley that will help prepare you to dedicate your professional life to our, literally vital, cause.
All students interested in the major, or the field of public health in general, are encouraged to consult with the Academic Advisor.

Clippers CEO: Doc Rivers will leave if Donald Sterling remains owner
The interim CEO of the Los Angeles Clippers testified Tuesday that coach Doc Rivers told him he will quit if Donald Sterling remains the owner of the team.
CEO Richard Parsons testified at a trial to determine whether Sterling's wife, Shelly, can sell the team for $2 billion to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer as the NBA looks to force Donald Sterling from the league over racist statements.
"Doc is troubled by this maybe more so than anybody else," Parsons said about Rivers, who is black. "If Mr. Sterling continues as owner, he does not want to continue as coach."
Parsons said he fears there would also be an exodus of key players, including team captain Chris Paul, who heads the NBA players union.
The judge stopped Parsons from giving an account of his conversations with Paul when an NBA lawyer objected over privacy issues.
Parsons is a former chief executive at Time Warner and Citigroup who took over leadership of the Clippers in May during the media blitz surrounding the banishment of Sterling.
Under questioning by Ballmer's lawyer, Parsons said the departure of Rivers would "accelerate the death spiral" of the Clippers.
"If Doc were to leave, that would be a disaster," Parsons said. "Doc is the father figure, the one who leads."
- Judge OKs $2B sale of Clippers despite objections
- Shelly Sterling takes stand, defends actions
- Sterling calls wife 'pig', says he'll never sell Clips
- Donald Sterling comical, confusing on stand
- Sterling lawyers force delay of trial
- Sterling vs. Sterling: Clips hang in balance
- 5 things to know about Sterling's legal claims
- Poll: Sterling most hated man in America
The discussion of Clippers players and coaches is new territory for the trial that has mostly explored the dealings between the Sterlings.
It wasn't immediately clear what effect the new information might have on the narrow question under consideration -- whether Shelly Sterling can sell the team under the family trust.
Messages left for team officials seeking comment from Rivers weren't immediately returned.
Parsons, who is considered an expert in the management of major corporations, said he was certain that big corporate sponsors would pull out and season ticket holders would demand their money back if Donald Sterling remains the owner.
"If your coach leaves, if your players don't want to play with you, what do you have?" Parsons asked. "If your sponsors leave and the fans leave, it's going to spiral down and down."
Parsons also said he doesn't believe that anyone will offer as much money for the team as Ballmer. That opinion was seconded by witness Anwar Zakkour, an investment banker who helped broker the deal for Ballmer's purchase and said he never expected a bid so big.

Explaining why Ballmer would have bid over the value of the team, Zakkour said, "It was a trophy asset."
"This is the highest price ever achieved for a sports team," he said. "However way you count it, this is an amazing price that anyone should be satisfied with."
Parsons and Zakkour said that if the NBA seized the team and put it up for auction, the price would drop because there would be less certainty about the team's future.
Outside court, Sterling's lawyer, Bobby Samini, said the billionaire would persist in his opposition to the sale because "he feels he was wronged" by the NBA.
"He has no desire to destroy the team," Samini said. "He is fighting to protect his rights."

You are aware there are newer Bios's available? 4978.03 512 is good and so is M7. Flashing all 4 banks with the same 256 K Bios can cause problems.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
The original Mercedes-Benz SLK was a big hit, largely on the basis of its retractable hardtop roof, something the auto industry hadn't seen since the Ford Skyliner of the 1950s. Each successive version of the SLK has been given a more serious edge, and now, powerful available engines and muscular styling make the 2013 the most aggressive SLK ever. At the same time, the SLK remains less of a pure sports car than the Porsche Boxster, stressing comfort and prestige over pure driving dynamics. But few SLK buyers will take issue with that.
If part of your self-image requires a great-looking convertible with a luxurious interior, it'll be easy to see yourself in a 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK.
If you play basketball (or even first base) for a living, you probably need more stretch-out room than the SLK offers. And if you need to carry much stuff, a 2-seater whose hardtop retracts into the trunk space doesn't make a lot of sense.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK was completely re-engineered for 2012, and rolls into 2013 with only minor upgrades. Mercedes' next-generation mbrace2 telematics system, with its many Internet-based features and applications, is now standard.
Mercedes-Benz has worked hard to build sports car credibility into the new SLK, the third generation of the car. Each edition of the SLK has upped the performance ante as...
... Mercedes-Benz engineers try to put to rest the longstanding notion that the SLK is more a personal-
luxury car than a sports car. Certainly the SLK has all the slick moves of a performance machine with good acceleration (the SLK350 noticeably more so than the SLK250), confident roadholding and taut, responsive steering. Thanks to a well-tuned suspension and substantial tires on 18-inch wheels, the SLK's cornering grip and stability are impressive. It's maybe still not as naturally light on its feet as a Porsche Boxster, but very satisfying to drive. Of course, the V8-engined SLK55 AMG with its 415 horsepower and sports-tuned suspension is an altogether different animal. A performance beast, really.
The SLK started the retractable-hardtop craze and it's still setting the pace. Buyers can select from three different top panels: standard body-colored polycarbonate, a panorama roof of tinted see-through polycarbonate, and the Magic Sky Control with variable tint you control electrically.
In a bid to make top-down motoring a more pleasant experience in cooler weather, M-B engineers have provided adjustable Air Guide deflectors on each roll bar and the Airscarf system, which delivers warm air to your neck from an outlet in the headrest.
The 2013 SLK might not be as pure a sports car as some of its competitors, but that's a benefit in terms of comfort and convenience. The luscious interior is Mercedes-Benz deluxe in every way. One highlight is the thick-section, 3-spoke steering wheel that is flat-bottomed to help clear your thighs. The main gauges are two big analog circles that flank a screen displaying a wide variety of driver-selectable information. A twist-and-push electronic controller on the console operates audio and navigation features – not immediately intuitive, but it works.
Mercedes suggests the exterior design of the 2013 SLK is both futuristic and retro, and it actually is, in a way: It looks fresh and modern, yet there's no mistaking where it came from. The SLK borrows some cues, particularly its big-grille face, from the SLS AMG supercar. Though not a particularly large car, its stance and nose-down rake help establish a look of substance. And of course, the iconic retractable hardtop, unlike a soft canvas convertible top, means the body lines always look clean and finished, whether the top is up or down.
The SLK seats aren't just extremely comfortable, they are also covered in sun-reflecting leather that reduces the rate at which the seats heat up when the car is parked with the top down. Also standard is an audio system with a USB port and Bluetooth, and Mercedes' mbrace2 telematics with many new Internet- and smartphone-accessible features. Standard safety equipment includes a vast complement of airbags (knee, head, thorax), a driver-drowsiness monitor and active head restraints.
The optional COMAND system ups the audio ante with a 7-inch color display (standard is 5.8-inch), hard-drive-based GPS navigation, 10GB of music storage, and a 6-disc CD/DVD changer. The navigation system offers 3D maps and the ability to show alternate routes before you choose one. An optional SiriusXM feature provides real-time traffic information and weather forecasts. Also available are burl walnut trim, the Magic Sky Control adjustable-tint roof, bi-xenon headlights that look into curves, and a Dynamic Handling Package with continuously adjusting suspension and driver-selectable modes.
When you're going up against established players like the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z4, 201 horsepower seems a little underwhelming, but the base 2013 SLK250 makes the most of it with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission. Powering the SLK350 is a 60-degree 3.5-liter V6 featuring direct fuel injection and multi-spark ignition. It makes 302 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, and works with the 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission. That's enough to rocket the SLK from zero to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. The SLK55 AMG's V8 makes a lusty 415 horsepower. Both the V6 and V8 engines now incorporate ECO start/stop to save a little fuel sitting at stoplights.

"If you're looking for a great sports car with a retractable hard top, this is it. I have been very pleased with my SLK, it handles great and has a great deal of on demand power. The interior is extremely comfortable even though I am a big guy. Trunk space is adequate for one, tricky for a couple going away for the weekend. All in all, it's been very reliable and a terrific vehicle. I highly recommend it!"

"I bought an SLK 250 for my wife. She absolutely loves driving it, and she puts the top down every chance she gets. This car is an attention-getter everywhere she goes. It's actually amazing how much attention this car draws. My wife would give it a 10 out of 10 for the fun factor. I would give it 8 out of 10 overall because I find the car to be noisier - both wind noise and road noise - than I anticipated at highway speeds (with the top closed). It's also not as comfortable as I expected from a luxury brand - the seats are kind of hard. However, the engineering that's gone into the retractable hardtop is pretty amazing. A hardtop coupe when closed, and a fun convertible when opened. The best of both worlds as long as you are realistic about some of the compromises that inevitably have to be made for a "hybrid" like this. I also think the engine could use about 30 more horsepower, but my wife says it's just fine. At highway speeds, it has more than enough passing power, but I pine for a little more HP when accelerating from a full stop. The car's handling is top-notch, and the braking ability is impressive. Overall, if you want a convertible, you can't go wrong with this car. And if you really want more horsepower, go for the SLK 350."

"Quality car, comfortable and fun to drive. It really turns heads with its classy styling. There are I have the premium I , media, sport packages along with the walnut trim package and wood steering wheel and diamond white paint with beige and white interior, spoiler and glass wind blockers. I bought it off of the showroom floor so there are a couple of option I would have liked such as the lighting package. It is a fun car to drive, fast enough and handles well. I am pleased with my purchase. The Dick Dryer Mercedes in Columbia SC is extremely service minded and has provided excellent service on our other Mercedes and this was a primary reason in purchasing this car. I think they are one of the very few honest dealers in the country. I have had many bad experience's with several dealers in the SC and NC area. So far this has been a terrific car and I am very pleased with my purchase. I looked at Porsche, BMW, Jags, and chose the SLK which met most of my needs. I have 3 other Mercedes and service was the a very important factor in my decision. If I hadn't had such a positive experience with this dealer ship, I would have chosen the Jaguar roadster. This car would be a problem for a tall and large person, but not for me."

I can't remember the last time I asked Nikki Lawson about it.
Two years ago? Maybe three.
Not that it doesn't find my soul from time to time. And if it finds me, I know it finds my niece, Nikki, much more often.
But for two hours Sunday afternoon in Kimbrough Memorial Stadium, that April day in Littleton, Colo., will be long gone from our minds.
Like it is most of the time we get together, maybe three or four times a year. And certainly, every time Nikki takes a soccer field.
Nikki is a senior these days at Regis College in Denver.
She was named a captain this year. Soccer has been a constant in her life. Through knee surgeries and hundreds of practices, she pays her sport the ultimate compliment by saying: "There are days I love it more than anything. And there are days I hate it."
On Sunday, Regis (7-2) takes on a talented No. 21-ranked West Texas A&M team.
To the Lady Buffs, the stopper wearing No. 11 for Regis will simply be another opponent.
Not for me.
Nikki doesn't have to play great and win Sunday to know how much her family - including this uncle - love, admire and appreciate her.
How many college kids find the time to take off a half a day and sit with their grandfather as he goes through a cancer chemo treatment?
Nikki has.
How many college kids get the school thing done in four years and play a collegiate sport?
Nikki has the chance to next spring.
I know these are two small things, but you get the idea. Nikki's responsible and caring, two qualities that have made me a fan of hers.
And, yes, she's a graduate of Columbine High School.
That's the "it" I was talking about.
When I said Columbine, you don't think of the state flower of Colorado. You only think of the high school where those two dudes dressed in black trenchcoats and armed with guns walked into a typical suburban high school taking - and changing - lives forever.
Never, ever would I begin to compare Nikki's ordeal with the 12 Columbine High students and teacher whose lives were taken that horrific day on April 20, 1999.
But it's a fact. There Nikki sat. A sophomore eating in the cafeteria at Columbine High when two fellow students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, arrived.
Part of the reason they were ticked off was the homemade bombs they had planted in the cafeteria hadn't gone off. One of the bigger explosives was very near the table where Nikki sat with several friends.
Nikki wasn't watching a TV later that night showing frantic students running from Columbine High with those frightened looks on their faces.
Nikki was one of them.
Thank the heavens above she found the right door and a way out, avoiding a confrontation with the twosome before their cowardly, disgusting actions in the library.
Few people realize the sick minds of Harris and Klebold weren't determined to walk in Columbine High and shoot people. Their plan had been to have bombs explode when the cafeteria was abuzz with people, then pick off students running out of the school from their perch outside.
The days following Columbine, Nikki graciously talked through a first person account for this paper. It has been five-plus years since that day.
I called Nikki earlier this week. Incredibly, I found myself sounding more reporter than uncle.
And they were stupid questions. Stuff like, how often do you think about that April day? Did it ruin the rest of your high school career? Do you appreciate life more now?
"It gets easier as the days go by."
"I don't think about it that often anymore. Probably once a day. I just have a flashback to when we were all in the park afterward."
"I don't think it ruined my last two years (of high school). I had more friends and more fun the last two years because nobody was being as mean and respected each other. I also looked at life lighter myself."
"I definitely think about how precious life is now."
Nikki rarely brings up the fact she attended Columbine High to strangers. Not that she is ashamed. Simply because of the reaction she gets. Eyes never lie. Those eyes get wide. They want to hear "The Story."
That April day hits her soul at the most unexpected times. Like attending the funeral of a friend's dad and walking upon the grave site of one her Columbine High classmates. Emotions - wow, that could easily be me - she didn't know existed flooded her.
Nikki's not looking for sympathy. Like I said, unless I ask, she never talks about "it."
Her focus these days is trying to help Regis qualify for the Division II playoffs. In doing that, she plays with a lesson learned in April, 1999.
Life is too short not to enjoy.
I know Nikki won't be thrilled her uncle is writing about her. She's not one to seek pub.
I know Columbine will always be her thing to deal with. And she has in a classy way. Because certainly I will never know. I only think I know.
But I wanted you to know, that No. 11 playing for Regis on Sunday has family and friends who thinks she's No. 1.

So Fine a Prospect: Historic New England Gardens - Library of New England (Paperback)Alan Emmet
Paperback Published: 01/03/1997
- Can be ordered from our supplier
Oh, the comfort, the delight I have had in my garden, an octogenarian grande dame of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, recalls in an 1888 memoir. Alan Emmet s glimpse into more than two dozen gardens that graced New England s towns and countryside from just after the American Revolution into the twentieth century has delights of its own. Drawing from diaries, correspondence, historical records, sketch maps, and paintings, Emmet treats the garden--ranging from small urban retreats to ornamental estates of thousands of acres--as an art form and examines its evolution form the utilitarian to the ornate. Along with the useful--greenhouses, peach walls, and pergolas--are found the whimsical and the idiosyncratic. She describes teahouses, topiary trees, fountains, mazes, marble nymphs, and a three-story viewing tower. And ever-present, of course, are the plants themselves: roses, lilies, tree peonies, orchids, even southern magnolias, as well as towering elms, massive lindens, peaches, pears, and boxwood. But as Emmet delves more deeply into who built these gardens and why, another story unfolds. The gardens, it seems, parallel their owners lives, and embedded intheir history is the saga of families and their rising and falling tides. We see great houses inhabited by gentle ghosts, the boom and subsequent decay of the port towns, the emergence of a mercantile class, the metamorphosis of the cities into sprawling urban centers, and the establishment of institutions like the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. Carefully chronicled, entertaining, and generously illustrated, Emmet s garden tour is very much worth taking."

Hello Marc ...
Both photographers and sailors are glad for this lighthouse; but sailors are much more glad, certainly (to save their lives) ... this is a dangerous rugged coast, often foggy, with tides that rise-and-fall 8-9 meters twice a day.
Thanks for taking a look and the Like; especially thank you very much for marking this one as a Favorite ...

The invention relates to solar cells in general and more particularly to an improved solar cell and method of manufacture therefor.
Solar cells having zones of opposite doping forming a p-n junction in their semiconductor body, which zones are each provided with an electrode, are known.
Solar cells are electronic semiconductor components, by means of which sunlight can be converted into electric energy. The semiconductor body can consist, for instance, of silicon or a III-V compound such as gallium arsenide and is provided on its front side facing the radiation source with a p-n junction of large area by means of diffusion. Planar metal contacts on the back side and thin metallic contact strips on the front side are used as electrodes for collecting the current generated in such a semiconductor crystal. At the p-n junction a diffusion voltage, the magnitude of which is determined by the impurity concentration in the adjacent zones, is generated at thermal equilibrium. It forms an internal field over the space charge zone of the boundary layer. If light quanta with sufficiently large energy now enter such a semiconductor, additional pairs of charge carriers are produced on both sides of the p-n junction in excess over the thermal equilibrium. The charge carriers produced then move toward the p-n junction and are separated in the electric field of the latter. This separation results in a reduction of the internal potential. The difference from the potential of the thermal equilibrium appears as a photo voltage, the equalization of the charges then taking place in an external load circuit connected to the semiconductor crystal, giving off electric energy.
As is well known, solar cells are designed with a view toward permitting as many photons as possible to penetrate into the semiconductor and thus the number of charge carriers reaching the p-n junction as well as the available power become as large as possible. The zone of the semiconductor body facing the light source, which is in general of the n-conduction type which deteriorates less than a p-conduction zone, is therefore chosen as thin as possible, so that a high percentage of the light absorbed in the very thin semiconductor layer contributes to the energy conversion. The conversion length is then approximately equal to the diffusion length. In addition, the layer resistance of this n-conduction zone is chosen small lest the efficiency of the solar cell be reduced by a excessively large series or internal resistance. In addition, it is advantageous to choose a starting material with a resistivity of between 1 and 10 ohm-cm. The cells made of such materials are degraded but little if exposed to corpuscular radiation. Furthermore, the life of the minority carriers and, therefore, the diffusion length is sufficient large so that a considerable portion of the light quanta which are absorbed further inside on the side of the p-n junction facing away from the direction of the incident light, generate charge carriers which still can reach the p-n junction.
A large portion of the light incident on the semiconductor surface of a solar cell is reflected; in the case of a plane silicon surface, this portion can be as much as 32%. The known solar cells are therefore generally provided with a layer of suitable thickness of a material with a matched index of refraction, in order to limit the reflection losses to a negligible amount (German Offenlengungsschrift No. 1 934 751).
Solar cells generally contain a plane semiconductor body several hundred μm thick, for instance, 350 μm thick, of single crystal, p-conduction silicon, into the top side of which a thin n-conduction zone with a small thickness of, for instance, 0.3 μm, is diffused. The manufacture of such silicon sheets, however, is very elaborate and expensive, so that the production of energy with such cells is substantially more expensive than other energy production methods.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a solar cell which can be produced less expensively and the efficiency of which is further increased over that of the known solar cells.
This problem is solved for a solar cell of the type mentioned at the outset by the provision that its semiconductor body consists of semiconductor whiskers grown on a substrate surface.
A whisker is understood here to be a filamentary crystal of high strength, several μm in diameter and with lengths of up to several cm. As a rule, its structure is that of a single crystal with a nearly ideal lattice.
A substrate is understood here to be a material which at least favors the growth or germination of whiskers and on the surface of which the whiskers can be grown in a reaction chamber. Although the substrate may be present in particle form, e.g., as dust, whisker fragments or other materials, preferred substrates are heat resistant materials such as aluminum oxide or silicate, which are commonly used in sheet or tube form. Details on whisker growing methods may be found, for instance, in the book "Whisker Technology", New York 1970, edited by A. P. Levitt, published by Wiley-Inter-Science.
The advantages of the solar cell according to the present invention are in particular that the whiskers provided for this cell are single crystals and therefore make possible a high efficiency of the cell. The large surface to volume ratio of the whiskers, which leads to a p-n junction in the cell of particularly large surface, results in a large increase of the quantum yield as compared to a plane surface. In addition, such whiskers can absorb the radiation almost without reflection. An antireflection layer as in the known solar cells is therefore not necessary. Since the absorption depth can be chosen approximately equal to the diffusion length of the charge carrier pairs in the whisker material, savings of material results while the quantum yield and the efficiency are increased. In addition, the solar cells according to the present invention can be produced by applying all the processes required therefor in series. Such production is relatively cost effective.
In the known solar cells, finger contacts, which leave an area as large as possible free for the passage of light, are used as electrodes on the light side of the semiconductor body U.S. Pat. No. 3,772,770. It is advantageous not to use such contacts for the solar cell according to the present invention, as it is not possible to cover the entire surface of all whiskers with these contacts. Therefore in accordance with a further embodiment of the solar cell according to the present invention, the surfaces of the semiconductor whiskers are coated with a layer of a transparent, electrically conductive material. Suitable materials are, for instance, tin oxide doped with antimony SnO2 (Sb) or indium oxide doped with tin In2 O3 (Sn). Their transparency in the visible range of the spectrum is better than 80%. Since no antireflection layers are required with the whiskers, the application of such transparent layers is possible. The whiskers can be coated with these layers at least on most of the surface, so that a correspondingly large percentage of the charge carriers getting to the surface is collected.
These light transparent, electrically conducting layers, which serve as one of the two electrodes of the solar cell, can be applied advantageously by cathode sputtering, vapor deposition or ion plating to the surfaces of the semiconductor whiskers. With these techniques, a relatively uniform layer thickness can be achieved on the entire whisker surface, and particualrly so at the tips of the whiskers.
According to a further embodiment of the solar cell of the present invention, the substrate and/or a carrier to which the substrate is applied, can advantageously consist of a material of high electric conductivity. The substrate or the carrier can then serve at the same time as the electrode on the side of the solar cell facing away from the radiation.
It is further of advantage if, for solar cells with silicon semiconductor whiskers, polycrystalline silicon is provided as the substrate. On this relatively inexpensive material, particularly, perfect single-crystal whiskers can be grown.
For growing the semiconductor whiskers of a solar cell according to the present invention, the so-called vapor-liquid solid mechanism (VLS meachanism) can advantageously be used, which is known form the journal "Transactions of the Metallurgical Society of AIME", vol. 233, June 1965, pages 1053 to 1064. According to this crystal growing mechanism, the material to be crystallized is absorbed in a predetermined amount of a metal which is placed on the substrate and in which the material to be crystallized is soluble, and which is called the agent. At a suitable predetermined temperature, an alloy is formed during the precipitation with the material to be crysallized, which is saturated upon further precipitation of this material. Thus, supersaturation and precipitation of the material on the substrate comes about and, finally, growth of the whiskers with the liquid agent at the tips of the former.
The crystal growth which occurs is heavily anisotropic, i.e., it takes place nearly in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface, since the absorption of the crystallizing material or its components takes place perferentially at the free surface of the liquid metal phase, while the precipitation from the liquid metal phase occurs only at the boundary surface between the drops and the substrate.
With the abovementioned method, a large area can advantageously be provided with whiskers. The manufacture of the solar cells according to the present invention is accordingly cost effective.
For making solar cells according to the present invention with semiconductor whiskers of a III-V compound or a ternary alloy with such a compound, it can be advantageous to use the first partner of this alloy or compound as the agent. Such compounds may be in particular the gallium compounds gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium phosphide (GaP) or the ternary compound gallium arsenide phosphide (Ga(As1-x Px)) as well as the compounds indium phosphide (InP), cadmium telluride (CdTe), aluminum antimonide (AlSb) and cadmium sulfide (CdS). With crystals of these materials, solar cells having efficiencies which are higher than, for instance, the efficiency of the solar cells with silicon semiconductor whiskers can be manufactured, since the band gap of these materials is closer to the band gap of 1.5 eV, which is optimum for solar cells, than the band gap of silicon. Since the first compound partner of these compounds can act at the same time as the agent, the danger is small that foreign substances which lead to a reduction of the efficiency of the solar cells, will be incorporated into the whisker crystals.
The single figure is a schematic presentation of a whisker solar cell according to the present invention.
The solar cell, which is shown in a partial cross section in the figure, comprises a substrate surface 2, on which stand a multiplicity of single crystal semiconductor whiskers. In the figure, only eight whiskers 4 of equal size, arranged parallel side by side, are shown. Their heights and their diameters, which are, for instance, in the order of 100 μ or several hundred μ, may be different, however. In addition, the whiskers may have a cross section which varies over their height.
With respect to the incident sunlight radiation which is indicated by individual arrows 5, the solar cell is oriented so that its whiskers 4 are directed substantially against the direction of incidence of this radiation. Thus, the radiation can be absorbed almost completely by the whiskers with this structure.
Due to the spectral composition of the sunlight, the optimum band gap of the whisker material used for the solar cell, as measured in electron volts (eV), should be about 1.5 eV. The band gap of silicon is approximately 1.1 eV, so that the output voltage produced by a silicon solar cell is correspondingly small and the efficiency of the energy conversion of such a cell is in the order of about 11%. One will therefore attempt to use materials with larger band gaps for solar cells. Such materials are, for instance, certain semiconductive III-V compounds or also ternary alloys with such compounds. Thus, gallium arsenide, for instance, has a band gap of approximately 1.4 eV.
The whiskers 4 are advantagesouly grown on the substrate 2 in accordance with the known VLS mechanism. The corresponding method is applicable, for instance, to Si and particularly also to GaAs, GaP and Ga(As1-x Px). While in the case of silicon, Au, Pt, Pd, Ni, Cu or Ag can be used as the agent, the Ga itself advantageously serves as the agent in the case of the gallium compounds mentioned. Other highly effective compounds with large band gaps are InP, CdTe, AlSb and CdS, to which the VLS method is likewise applicable. With these compounds also a foreign material agent is not necessary, so that the first compound partner can serve as the agent, i.e., In, Cd, Al or Cd, respectively. Also Ge whiskers can be grown by the known method, likewise using Au as the agent.
In the known VLS method, the growth conditions for the whiskers in a reaction chamber provided for this purpose are heavily dependent on the temperature of the substrate. A similarly strong influence is also exerted by the vapor deposition rate or the degree of supersaturation of the vapor in the reaction chamber. The whisker diameter depends substantilly on the particle size of the reagent material and the temperature. Thus, increasing temperatures lead to larger whisker diameters due to better wetting of the substrate surface. The agent material can be applied, for instance, through masks to specific points on the substrate surface or may also simply be vapor deposited on the substrate. During the vapor deposition or the heating of the substrate, small droplets then form on the substrate surface. The size of the droplets depends, for instance, on the layer thickness of the vapor deposited material.
With the known method, whisker densities of, say, 104 cm2 to 106 /cm2 can be obtained. This corresponds to a mean whisker width of 100 to 10 μ if the arrangement is rectangular.
Any substance favoring whisker growth or whisker germination can be used as material for the substrate 2. Thus, single or also polycrystalline silicon substrate can be provided, for instance, for growing silicon whiskers. As is shown in the FIGURE, such electrically nonconducting substrates are advantageously placed on an electrically conducting carrier body 6, which acts at the same time as a elecrode. Advantageously, electrically conducting metal strips can also be provided as the substrate body and at the same time as the electrode. In the case of silicon whisker growing, such a strip can consist of carbon-free steel, for instance.
Doping of the whiskers grown by the VLS method can be carried out in accordance with known techniques. Thus, p-doping of silicon whiskers can take place after they are grown or, in some cases, also while they are being grown, with boron or aluminum. Subsequently the surface of this now p conducting whisker is given a doping of the opposite type for forming an n conducting border zone 8, for instance, by diffusing phosporus from the gaseous phase into the surface up to a depth which approximately corresponds to the diffusion length. The remaining p-conducting layers of the whiskers are designated 9 in the FIGURE. The p-n junction formed between the n- and p-conduction zones 8 and 9 is indicated in the figure by a dashed line 10. The position in depth of this p-n junction 10 can be adjusted in a manner known per se by the diffusion conditions, e.g., the diffusion time, the diffusion temperature or the gas flow.
Although n-doping of the border zone 8 near the surface and p-doping in the underlying zone 9 has been assumed, the doping of the two zones can just as well be arranged in the opposite manner, as is also known per se.
For developing an electrode facing the incident light for the solar cell according to the present invention, the surface of the whiskers 4 is coated with a layer 12 of light transparent material, which is at the same time electrically conductive. Advantageously, materials which absorb only a small fraction of the energy of the incident radiation are used. Such materials are, for instance, tin oxide doped with antimony SnO2 (Sb) or also indium oxide doped with tin, In2 O3 (Sn). Suitable techniques for applying these layers are, for instance, the so-called cathode sputtering method, which is described in the journal "Vakuumtechnik", vol. 24, Hg. 1975, no. 1, pages 1 to 11. The layers can also be vapor deposited or applied by means of ion plating, where the materials are vapor deposited, the vapor is partially ionized by a plasma discharge and the ionized portion in the vapor is precipitated electrostatically with the neutral vapor.

i am using the plugin "WooCommerce German Market", which adds a link to my shipping costs page to every product named "zzgl. Versand" on the shop-page.
After I changed my shipping method to "free shipping" it did not lead to an automatic text change of the link. Can I change the text manuelly? I would like to name it "versandkostenfrei" instead of "zzgl. Versand".

Andre Hedrick: In Memoriam
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
This edition of Zack's Kernel News is dedicated to Andre Hedrick, a prolific kernel hacker who committed suicide in July. He did tons of kernel work for many years on the IDE driver, and later the ATA subsystem it morphed into.
I remember him as being one of the more argumentative of kernel folks. He always seemed to be explaining why something was absolutely required or something was absolutely impossible because of the convoluted insanity of IDE hardware. The problem often was: There are hardware standards, and then there is reality. Often the hardware manufacturers didn't quite conform to the standards, but Linux had to support them anyway. Sometimes the standards themselves had missed some crucial nuance. Andre undoubtedly found it frustrating to debate such issues with people who he felt didn't fully understand the hardware under discussion.

Now that Congress has passed Trade Promotion Authority/Fast Track, the Council on Foreign Relations is taking the lead in calling for China to be included in the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
Billionaire financier and close Obama ally George Soros, who in 2009 called for the brutal communist regime ruling mainland China to "own" what he referred to as the "New World Order," is now claiming that the Obama administration he helped put in power must "make a bona fide attempt at forging a strategic partnership with China." If such an alliance fails to materialize, and soon, the statist self-styled philanthropist warned that another World War may be just around the corner. Citing Obama's pseudo-treaty with dictator Xi Jinping on "climate change" as a model approach, Soros expressed hope that Obama's final year in office could be exploited to form the "strategic partnership" he envisions with the tyrants in Beijing.
President Obama told reporters during a news conference at the Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Germany on June 8 that success against ISIS forces in Iraq is dependent on an "effective partnership" between Iraq and coalition partners, who must "coordinate more effectively in getting weapons in the hands of anti-ISIS forces."
The plan is to make the TPP and other parts of ObamaTrade public prior to a congressional vote, right? Wrong! And in a classic Freudian slip, House Ways and Means Committee chairman Paul Ryan let the cat out of the bag.
CIA Director John Brennan recently told a TV news program that U.S. intervention in foreign countries can actually make the United States less safe.

BAT, BP, British Airways, Burberry: U.K., Irish Equity Preview
The following is a list of companies whose shares may have unusual price changes in U.K. and Irish markets. Stock symbols are in parentheses and prices are from the last market close.
The benchmark FTSE 100 Index advanced 34.08, or 0.7 percent, to 5,167.02. The FTSE All-Share Index rose 0.6 percent and Ireland's ISEQ Index climbed 0.5 percent.
BP Plc (BP/ LN): The company installed a new cap on its leaking Gulf of Mexico oil well and will start testing today to see whether this will stop the gusher while work continues on a permanent plug.
The Macondo well has been spewing as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day into the ocean, according to a government estimate, since an April 20 drilling-rig explosion that killed 11 workers.
Separately, BP has delayed drilling its first well at the Liberty project in Alaska until next year, while the Financial Times reported that BP expects to be able to write off the oil-spill cleanup costs against taxes, without saying where it got the information.
The shares advanced 9.4 percent to 398.95 pence.
British Airways Plc (BAY LN): The airline's cabin-crew union will today lobby shareholders to press Chief Executive Officer Willie Walsh for a compromise in an 18-month dispute over pay and staffing levels.
The Unite union will distribute a letter to shareholders outside today's meeting at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in central London seeking "an end to management by conflict," the union said yesterday.
The shares fell 1 percent to 204.7 pence.
British American Tobacco Plc (BATS LN): Goldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its recommendation for the shares to "buy" from "neutral." The stock gained 0.5 percent to 2,219 pence.
Burberry Group Plc (BRBY LN): The U.K.'s largest luxury company reported a 27 percent rise in revenue in the three months to June to 291 million pounds ($436 million). The stock fell 0.6 percent to 789.5 pence.
Intermediate Capital Group Plc (ICP LN): The company said it remains on track to deploy 150 million pounds to 200 million pounds in the financial year. The shares rose 0.5 percent to 265.9 pence.
Northern Foods Plc (NFDS LN): The U.K. maker of Goodfella's pizza reported a 1.6 percent fall in like-for-like sales in the first quarter and said trading is "as expected." The stock rose 1.6 percent to 46.75 pence.
Unilever Plc (ULVR LN): Goldman raised its recommendation or the shares to "conviction buy" from "neutral." The stock gained 0.5 percent to 1,844 pence.
Vodafone Group Plc (VOD LN): The world's biggest mobile-phone operator and Telefonica SA's O2 unit said proposed cuts in some U.K. mobile-phone fees may lead to higher charges for handsets and calls, forcing as many as 4 million customers to give up their phones. The shares fell 0.1 percent to 143.4 pence.

Politics Lamont & Lessons for Cantwell
In my opinion, any analysis piece on the Lamont victory that does not mention this quotation…
"It's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander in chief for three more critical years," Lieberman said, "and that in matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril." The implication that there is something wrong with criticizing George W. Bush is unacceptable to most Democrats, who believe that Bush himself has done the most to undermine his own credibility. [This take from E.J. Dionne's column last week.]
… is missing the real issue here. The primary victory for Lamont was not a referendum on the war. It was a referendum on an incumbent arrogant enough to try to curtail his constituents' freedom of speech.
I didn't support the war. I think Cantwell's vote was way off the mark (even more unforgivable, from my point of view, were her votes for the PATRIOT Act). But reasonable people have a right to disagree on this point, especially since we're already in Iraq and neither party has a good exit strategy. (Sorry, peaceniks, but "Troops out now" isn't going to cut it.) What's absolutely not okay, however, is the insinuation that anyone is unpatriotic for saying Bush isn't credible. DUH: Bush misled the country on WMDstherefore, he's no longer credible. The above quote was everywhere last week and over the weekend. And voters don't like to be treated like sheep.
That's where the Cantwell analogy fails to hold. She's never said anything so ridiculous and politically suicidal.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky (WBKO) -- Kentucky Gives Day's totals reached over $440,000 on April 9.
Kentucky Gives Day is a collaboration of the Kentucky nonprofit network and corporate media partners, using one day to highlight non-profit organizations throughout the state of Kentucky.
Organizations signed up for the event and promoted their nonprofits through social media and advertising.
Out of 216 small, nonprofit organizations, Simpson County Literacy Center ranked fourteenth, earning nearly $3500.
"We offer GED classes. We have college prep classes, we have computer classes up to mid level, we teach basic reading, writing and math skills," said Kim Buck, Simpson County Literacy Center Coordinator.
This marks the second annual year for Kentucky Gives Day. Simpson County Literacy Center has participated both years.
"The awareness is just really important so people will know we are out there. A lot of times, we hear we are the best kept secret in town, so when we get out and really pound the social media and send our letters and so forth, it helps," said Kim Buck, Simpson County Literacy Center Coordinator.
Habitat for Humanity of Simpson County is another small nonprofit organization, who came in 17th place, earning nearly $3000. Habitat for Humanity provides safe and affordable housing for low income families.
"This is huge because we are 100% nonprofit donation driven organization. We do several fundraisers and this is the first time we've done one online," Cheryl Goodlad, Habitat for Humanity of Simpson County Executive Director.
Kentucky Gives Day strives to improve our communities and the lives of our neighbors in the "Bluegrass state".

When I was diagnosed with leukemia, I learned that without a marrow or blood stem cell transplant, I would mostly likely die. But the best Christmas present I received the year I was diagnosed with leukemia was a gift from a total stranger ? a man who had volunteered with the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP) to donate marrow or blood stem cells. Since no one in my family was a suitable donor, we turned to the National Marrow Donor Program to find a potential volunteer. Just a few days before Christmas they found a matching donor for me.
I know now how lucky I was to have found a donor. Marrow transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and patient. Because these traits are inherited, the most likely match for an African American patient like me was an African American donor.
I was really surprised to hear that the NMDP had found a donor for me because I was told I had a combination of tissue traits that was uncommon.
I learned through my experience that there is a great need for donors from diverse backgrounds to join the National Marrow Donor Program Registry, so that more patients can receive this potentially life-saving treatment.
I encourage you to consider giving one of the following gifts this year:
See the story of Tonya Ghant and her marrow donor, Steve Collins, on the National Marrow Donor Program Web site.

Just wondering if any of the moms from Cincy/Northern KY might be able to recommend a primary care physician who is actually PCOS knowledgeable? I see Dr. Jennifer Thie for gynecology/endocrinology, but I'm having no success finding just a regular primary care physician. Someone to see for preventive care and sick visits and has a good grasp of the ins and outs of PCOS. Thanks!
