Sample Story
A New Kind of Love
In sobriety, she learned how to love herself and others
I'm sitting at the base of Greylock Mountain, in Atlanta, Idaho. It's very quiet and I have the gift of this opportunity to contemplate. Soon, I will have my three-year sobriety birthday. It doesn't sound like long, but it's not been easy for me.
I am one who has had to work at it. It took lots of changes, transformations, experiences to get here. It's been worth it, though. My heart is beating a sober rythm. I feel so clear and am filled with gratitude. I am experiencing a love I have never known and it truly is grace.
I've done a lot of things in my drinking days that I'm not proud of. Even sitting here, in Atlanta, I have memories of these woods—falling on the way back to the cabin, of conversations in the bar that are embarrasing to remember, of all that beer breath I woke up with.
I used to drive up here while drinking. It's a miracle that I am not in prison for all the drunk driving I did. I can see that now. Back then, I couldn't see a thing except how to get drunk and stay drunk, and sober up enough just to work, until I couldn't even do that anymore.
Walking into these rooms of AA when I was lost, blind, and when I was at the end, was the best thing I ever did for me.
As I sit here in the mountains, away from the city, away from meetings, away from fellowship, I notice that this love, this peace and serenity I feel is due to finally learning how to care for myself. I am able to sit still and breathe mountain air. I can have a clear, coherent conversation with my friend. I can live and function on a daily basis. I can do all these things without a beer by my side.
Most importantly, I learned how to love. This love is not the slurry, blurry, mushy, crazy, on a buzz, calling people at two in the morning love. This is a love that comes from a place of peace and serenity inside. It is not clouded by alcohol. It is inner truth. It is clear. It is still. It is silence. It is a love I have never known, and I'm so excited for more! I am beginning to experience some happiness.
My heart is full and resonates like a drum to the rhythm of a sober walk. It's because of the program of AA that I am here. For this, I continue to buy a ticket for a seat in this place! What a great ride!
—Brenda M., Boise, Idaho

What the Rest of the World Eats on Super Sunday
Photograph via Wikimedia User SimpleFoodie
Heading towards Super Bowl Sunday, you'll typically find me digging through the Internet's bottomless pit chili, wings, hoagies, and vaguely Mexican dip recipes in pursuit of worthy game day refreshments. I love a good meatball sub or seven-layer dip, but the truth is, the standard issue Super Bowl snack repertoire is starting to leave me cold. So this time around, I've decided to look internationally for inspiration, cherry-picking fan favorites from stadia and sports cultures around the globe to fill out my menu. From Manchester to Melbourne, here are some of the most popular spectator foods across the wide world of sports.
Meat Pie (Photograph by Flickr User Mr & Mrs Stickyfingers)
Meat Pies
The mother of all fan foods, meat pies are the game day snack of choice for rugby and soccer fans in Australia and New Zealand, and are also popular throughout the United Kingdom. These meat-filled pastries tend to be about the size of a muffin (so you can disregard that mental picture of spectators tucking into full-sized pies), and a devoted fan can blow through several of them in the course of a game. Meat pies happen to be the reason why Australian cookware company Breville invented its pie maker. Popular fillings include ground beef, steak and Guinness, beef and onion, and chicken and mushroom, and pies are typically served with a dollop of ketchup. Make your own versions at home with Gourmet's Beef and Guinness Pie recipe. (If you find yourself in New York this Super Bowl Sunday, excellent Aussie meat pies can be acquired from The Tuck Shop.)
Cornish Pasties
Think of a Cornish pasty (pictured right) as a British empanada. Hailing from Cornwall, England, pasties were originally invented as a convenient, portable lunch for local coal miners and soon evolved into a popular snack for rugby fans. Similar to savory pies, they're typically stuffed with a meat-centric filling, baked, and served piping hot. Try Bon Appetit's recipe for Beef Pasties with Caramelized Onion and Stilton Cheese.
Bovril, like Marmite and Branson Pickle, is one of those strange foodstuffs to which the English remain bizarrely devoted. What is Bovril, exactly? It's a salty meat extract that can be added to hot water to make a hearty, bracing beef bouillon that Brits refer to as "beef tea" (it tastes better than it sounds). Believe it or not, there's a long history in the UK of soccer and rugby fans drinking big thermoses of steaming beef tea–typically washing down a meat pie or Cornish pasty, naturally–to ward off the cold during games, and the practice continues to this day. For the brave: Bovril isn't on shelves in the U.S., but can easily be sourced via the internet.

Like hot dogs only better, choripsnes are a favorite refreshment sold at stalls in and around Argentinean soccer stadia. A choripan consists of a big, meaty fresh chorizo sausage hot off the grill, split down the middle, and served on a hefty roll topped off with chimichurri. Make your own at home using crusty sections of baguette, any fresh pork-based sausage, and BA's Chimichurri Sauce. If you go the chorizo route, be sure that you buy fresh chorizo sausage, not the cured versions that predominate in Europe.
The traditional game time snack of South African Springbok fans, biltong (pictured right) is a cured and dried meat snack flavored with coriander, black pepper, brown sugar, salt, and vinegar. Biltong can be made from either beef or game meat (in the latter category, ostrich is particularly popular). South Africans are quick to note that biltong is not the same as beef jerky, but in a pinch, a couple bags of Slant Shack Jerky is a good substitute for the real thing. If you're feeling adventurous, by all means try to DIY with this Beef Biltong recipe in time for Sunday.
Naartjies (aka Tangerines)
Another staple down at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, tangerines–which are known in Afrikaans as naartjies–are a popular snack during rugby games. Not only are they healthy and refreshing, but tangerines have also proven convenient for throwing at refs and disappointing players, which helps explain their vast popularity with South Africans sports fans.
Sunflower seeds
Spanish spectators aren't big on snacking their way through games, but they do have a weakness for sunflower seeds, which fans traditionally chew on compulsively throughout the matches. If you try this at home, just make sure that you have a bowl for shells handy so that your living room doesn't wind up looking like a stadium floor. –Liz Gunnison

Children should be out playing and having fun. This is the time during their development that they learn and develop such important skills as walking, skipping, running, jumping, catching. While they may not utilize these specific skills daily unless they do participate in sports, they are still valuable tools needed throughout life. These are the skills that help them to develop physically.
Children also need to realize that activity can be fun! It is our challenge as parents, teachers, coaches and health care professionals to find a way to make it fun and challenging. Our goal is to get the child excited about fitness so that it carries over into a health adult life.
Fitness needs to be gradual. You are looking for activities that will increase the child's heart rate, gain strength without injury, learn body control and promote development. Fitness should be challenging, but also have it's rewards. It should never be painful. Proper technique should always be used…it is not how fast or how many exercises that are performed, but how many correct ones. Improper technique, going too fast can result in injury.
If your child is a "couch potato"…take note. Let your son/daughter know that they do not have to miss their favorite TV shows to exercise…ENJOY BOTH!
Exercise during the commercials. The average half-hour TV show has about 4 commercial breaks. Those 4 breaks can result in almost 8 minutes of exercise and they can still watch their favorite show.
Mom and dad, you can join in with the exercises and make it a family thing.
Try this simple routine. While your favorite TV show is on, sit and watch it. Once the commercials come on, get up and perform:
Track how well you do by counting the number you are able to perform CORRECTLY during each commercial. You should improve each week. After one week, try and increase to two shows each night. Vary the exercises you do in front of the TV – the list is endless.
It is estimated that we spend more then 3 hours each day watching TV…just think if you did more then SIT and watch!
Before you start an exercise program, please remember that you need to choose exercises that are appropriate for your child, their age, ability, etc. You must also recognize whether the area that you are going to watch TV and exercise is big enough to allow exercise safely. Adults, remember any existing medical conditions before you start exercises as well.
Stay fit and have fun!

The definition of insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting different results. With that in mind, can the Red Sox end the love affair with Hideki Okajima?
Okajima was great in 2007, and pretty darn good in 2008 as well. 2009 was a decided step back, 2010 was a disaster and now 2011 is looking no better.
The days of techno songs written in his honor are long gone.
Okajima broke into the league on the strength of his deceptive delivery. It was tough for hitters to pick up the release point and thus his decent stuff became very tough to hit. Since then, his command has diminished, and it seems that opposing teams have poured over enough tape to find a way for hitters to unravel the Okajima mystery.
The results have been pretty ugly.
This isn't the first time this type of thing has happened. Dontrelle Willis, Hideo Nomo and Fernando Valenzuela all featured very unorthodox deliveries and eventually hitters figured them out. Their once-great numbers crashed and burned.
As of now Hideki Okajima has pitched just over 238 innings in his career — or, as a starting pitcher before the late nineties, would call it, 'a season.' As Okajima's 'season' progresses he gets worse and worse. This is not a little hiccup or a some sort of fluke occurrence: without the benefit of his famously tricky throwing motion, Hideki Okajima is simply not an effective pitcher.
As WEEI.com's Rob Bradford noted in a January analysis:
Okajima has become worse and worse in each of his four big-league seasons against right-handers. Some performance dips can be traced to bad luck; in Okajima's case, the fact that he gives up more and more extra-base hits to right-handed hitters every year suggests otherwise. By last year, any right-handed hitter who stepped in the box against Okajima represented an MVP-caliber threat.
Last night in Oakland, the Red Sox received a great effort from John Lackey. He left the game down 1-0 as the Sox bats were stymied by Brett Anderson (who was fantastic). Dan Wheeler pitched a decent seventh inning and then allowed a Kevin Kouzmanoff double to lead off the eighth.
That's when the Sox turned to Okajima.
WIthout going through the ugly details, the final results were that the inning ended with the Sox down 5-0. Okajima's line was 2/3 of an inning, two hits, three earned runs and one walk. He accomplished all of that in just 32 pitches.
In 2011, Hideki Okajma is a mediocre to below-average pitcher that had two fantastic seasons, totaling about 120 innings. Hitters have figured out Okajima, fans have figured out Okajima, isn't it about time the Red Sox management figured out Okajima?

PS3 News
Sony claim Infamous 2 domain
More hints at an electrifying sandbox sequel
p>The internet is already rife with rumours about the arrival of the next Infamous game and, without actually announcing it yet, Sony seem to have confirmed that it is coming.
Sony appear to have snapped up the Infamous 2 domain name giving immense weight to the tweets and job adverts that point to the superhero sequel.
Voice Actor David Sullivan tweeted about his audition adding that the new game will 'melt your face'.
The other evidence pointing to Infamous 2 being in the works was a job ad with Sucker Punch looking for a experienced network programmer to put together the online components of a AAA title, also seeming to suggest that Infamous 2 will have online multiplayer modes.
Thanks GameInformer.

On Friday, Oct, 25, the options for live music in New Orleans include a country blowout at the New Orleans Arena, a legendary funk bassist, and a pair of south Louisiana roots music guitarists.
Jason Aldean, New Orleans Arena, 7: 30 p.m.
After collecting 50 cents from every ticket sold on his "Night Train" tour, country star Jason Aldean planned to donate the proceeds to one city's affiliate of the Susan G. Komen organization, which raises money to combat breast cancer. He chose New Orleans to be this year's "Concert for the Cure." Aldean and his bandmates plan to wear pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and attendees are encouraged to do the same. Friday's show – a full house is expected -- also celebrates local country radio station WNOE's 36th anniversary. The bill includes Jake Owen, Thomas Rhett and Dee Jay Silver.
Little Freddie King, Carrollton Station, 10 p.m.
The rough-and-tumble New Orleans blues guitarist and singer, fresh off a seven-city tour of France, plugs into the intimate Carrollton Station.
Bootsy Collins, House of Blues, 10 p.m.
The ever-colorful bassist who anchored both James Brown's band and Parliament-Funkadelic fronts his own Funky Unity Band. Local favorite DJ Soul Sister opens.
Tab Benoit, Rock 'n' Bowl, 9:30 p.m.
The south Louisiana guitarist and singer melds blues, R&B and swamp-pop boogie.

Clay, NY -- Since 1984, Dec. 31 has been a big day for the Soltau-Murdock family. Today, Zachary Soltau turns 27. His brother, Jacob Murdock, turns 17. And Zachary Soltau's son, Zachariah Soltau, turns 2.
Zachary Soltau, of Eastwood, said he remembered the day his younger brother was born. "We ran up to the hospital," he said. "It was the best birthday present ever."
The feeling amplified when his son arrived Dec. 31, 2009. "That was a miracle," he said. "I couldn't believe it happened like that."
None of the boys was supposed to be born Dec. 31. Zachary Soltau arrived a month early after a high-risk pregnancy that included numerous trips to the hospital, said his mother, Kathleen Soltau-Murdock.
A single mother at the time, the Clay woman had considered putting him up for adoption. "When I saw him, I knew I could never leave him," she said. "After that, he never left my side."
Ten years later, she hoped her second son, Jacob Murdock, now a senior at Cicero-North Syracuse High School, would arrive on Dec. 31, though his official due date wasn't until Jan. 7. "I thought it would be festive, to have two boys born on New Year's Eve," she said.
She had an even stronger feeling that her first grandson would be born on Dec. 31. "I knew he was coming," she said. "I knew it would be on that day. It was intuition. This is God's special gift to me."
None of the boys was delivered by cesarean section.
Because of the proximity of the boys' birthdays, the family celebrates Christmas by providing gifts, food and other items to families in need and saves presents for Dec. 31.
The boys aren't the only ones in the family born on a holiday. Soltau-Murdock was born on July 4. "We're all sharing it together," Zachary Soltau said. "It's the best thing."

Sam is updating us on the refurbishment – we will be moving into Abercromby Sq 3 and 5 in December. This seems like a loss of space but societies will be able to book rooms through the university.
If societies have specific needs or big events coming up they should get in touch with the Guild as soon as possible.
Students have been discussing what makes their societies work and what could make this year their best yet.
Council elections will now run…
Chi-Chi reminds societies to get in touch with the Guild to gain publicity for their events
Your AGM attendance will be a good indicator of your last year, and it's always a good idea to get first and second years involved earlier.
All English Society meetings are open to anyone wanting to see how they run or raise any issues.
18.04 – 4… Promotions are essential so that people do come along to your events, rather than complaining there isn't enough going on simply because they didn't know about an event!
18.03 – 3… Try to be a society for all, rather than focusing on just "Freshers and Shakespeare"
18.02 – 2… If you can create a large committee you can have many events and ideas running at once across the year.
18.01 – 1… Bertie prefers the idea of a co-ordinator to 'President' so that committee members can each take on a role and run with it, supported by the head of a society.
This freedom allows people to respond well and work on their own initiative.
17.59 – Bertie Lawson from the English Society is introducing his five points for success in a society…
17.59 – Chi-Chi would love to see collaboration and big events to celebrate our diversity here on campus.
17.58 – Zahid believes we can make a difference on campus, in our wider community and in needy situations around the world.
17.57 – Zahid: If we get together and channel our ideas we can really do a great job. It's important to set up time to meet people and get them excited about your project.
17.55 – All this money has been specifically spent and will be explained at the ISOC Welcome Dinner – Zahid believes it's essential to plan and prepare to bring people together and raise money.
17.54 – ISOC has been fundraising for three wells in Somali at a cost of £5,000 each – they raised £15,000 in just one week!
17.53 – Zahid Rehman from ISOC is discussing the charity work that his society do, both internationally and locally.
17.51 – Chi-Chi is explaining the Guild structure:
The four forums elect four Student Council members who pass policies to the Board of Trustees which includes four student trustees, the four SROs and four external trustees chosen for their expertise.
The forums are the start of this policy cycle and where students get to air their views.
17.49 – The SROs are introducing what they've been up to:
Sam has been Student Led Teaching Awards, Training, Quality Assurance committees, blogs and the Guild refurbishment
Tom has been working on his Make the most of I.T campaign, Peace Day and free dental care for students
Maggie has been choosing the key charities, leading on Demo 2012 and the Societies in Schools project and working on the issues on Arriva buses
Chi-Chi has been preparing Welcome Week, meeting societies at socials and training, working on celebrating culture and Black History Month
17.44 – Representatives are here from LGBT, Friends of Palestine, SACE, CompSoc, LUDS, UNA, English, Global Voice, Debating and lots more!

In Thursday's final full Senior Bowl practice, the South squad's receivers ran through an extended one-on-one drill against its defensive backs, including safeties Robert Lester of Alabama (37) and Shawn Williams of Georgia 26).
In the first video, Georgia's Tavarres King (12) and Baylor's Terrance Williams (2) score on strong inside routes. in the second clip, LSU's Russell Shepard (10) jukes his defender with a beautiful double move to catch a scoring toss in the corner of the end zone.

BioWare: Most MMOs lack fun
BioWare's Daniel Erickson has been very vocal in criticising the MMO genre for lacking real story.
Erickson told CVG in a recent interview that MMOs were missing a vital ingredient, namely storytelling, and that BioWare would change that with Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Erickson began: "In the early days when they first announced that there were MMOs, like the existence of them, I knew in my head what that meant - because I played Role Playing Games. It was just giant Role Playing Games. And then MMO [games] showed up, and it wasn't that. It was the ruleset to an RPG: There was combat, and there were areas, but that was all. Someone had left out the module. There was no story, there was no point. You just kind of wandered around. And that hasn't really changed all that much over the years."
This idea loomed large in the minds of the team creating The Old Republic. Erickson continues: "We've always had that thought in the back of our heads: That Old Republic should be all the things we thought an MMO would be in the first place - which is all the parts of an RPG. Which means - and this is the most radical idea - it should just be fun. Like, just fun to play. You shouldn't be trying to ignore all of the content to get to the end as fast as possible."
Hopefully The Old Republic will capture the spirit of Knights of the Old Republic and translate it well for the MMO arena.
Star Wars: The Old Republic is due out on PC some time after March 2011 according to EA.

When Susan Wagner scored a pair of touchdowns in a 3 minute, 7 second span to take the lead midway through the fourth quarter, the Falcons appeared primed to make their first PSAL city championship game appearance since 2000.
Except one thing: They left Fort Hamilton with too much time on the clock.
The host Tigers marched 68 yards on 14 plays on their final drive, capping it with quarterback Frank Laino's chaotic 6-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds remaining as they handed the Falcons a heart-breaking 29-26 PSAL semifinal loss yesterday in Brooklyn.
The upstart Falcons, who received a three-touchdown performance from junior quarterback Jordan Rodriguez, ended their season with a 7-5 record.
Fort Hamilton, meanwhile, advanced to its third title game in the last four years. The third-seeded Tigers will meet top-seeded Port Richmond for the championship on Saturday at Midwood HS field in Brooklyn.
"We came up short," said SW head coach Al Paturzo, who saw the Tigers score two touchdowns on fourth down, including the game-winner. "It was fourth down and it hurts a great deal to lose like that.
"Especially since we did a lot (to get back in position to win the game)."
When Laino capped another long drive — 81 yards on 16 plays — with a 4-yard TD plunge 3:55 into the final period, the Tigers took a 22-14 lead.
But the Falcons, who rushed for 312 yards behind running back Anthony Sama (108), came to life, needing just three plays before Trevor Ellam raced 33 yards to pay dirt to make it 22-20 with 7:00 left.
Wagner's defense not only stopped the Tigers on the ensuing series, but got an additional break when punter Brandon Reddish couldn't handle a low snap. Reddish eventually picked up the ball, but linebacker Kevin Ellam tripped him up to give Wagner the ball on the FH 24.
Three plays later, with the help from Trevor Ellam's 24-yard run, Rodriguez's 4-yard TD run gave SW a 26-22 lead with 3:53 left.
But the Tigers, who made third-down conversions on six of seven chances in the second half and finished with 361 total yards, got the ball back on their own 32 and rode the play of Laino to a first-and-goal at the 8.
"You've got to play defense in the playoffs," said Paturzo. "On offense, we had a lot of good plays. We just didn't make enough good plays on defense.
"But they're good," added the coach of Fort Hamilton. "Their speed will get you on the outside. I thought we were in the right positions, but just didn't get blocks and stuff like that."
Facing third down following their final time out, Fort Hamilton's Gardner Robinson was held to a 2-yard gain, thus forcing the Tigers to scramble to the line of scrimmage for one last play with time winding down.
Laino dropped back and hit the 6-foot-4, 195-pound Levon Williams with a quick pass on a slant from the left to give FH the lead with 24 ticks left.
"It was a two-receiver route on the short side," said FH head coach Vince Laino, who said he gave his team plays for the final two downs coming out of the final timeout. "There was a slant option and we did a great job running it."
"You just try to line up properly," added Paturzo of the chaotic state of the fourth-down play. "We did that, but (their receiver) just got inside of us."
A 24-yard Trevor Ellam run gave the Falcons a first down on the Tiger 35 with nine seconds to play. Although Rodriguez fired two passes in the end zone, they were off the mark and time expired.
NOTES: After falling behind 7-0 four plays into the game, Wagner scored the next two touchdowns — both 1-yard runs by Rodriguez — and took a 14-7 lead on Sama's two-point conversion with 49 seconds left in the first half. However, a James Howell 54-yard kickoff return gave the Tigers a first down on the 13. Williams (4 receptions, 62 yards) converted a fourth-and-14 play into a rushing touchdown and the ensuing Robinson two-point conversion gave the hosts a 15-14 halftime lead.

I was given a disposable camera as part of a goody bag on a trip I took for work last week. Yes, they still make disposable cameras apparently.
Well, I decided it would be a nice gift upon my return for our 3-year-old - her first real camera and something that could take a beating with no sweat off of our backs.
It quickly entered my mind that maybe 3 is too young to have an operable camera - especially one that's not digital and the photos can't be deleted immediately.
You see, she has become a pint-sized paparazzi in our household.
Aside from taking plenty of extreme close-up shots of our baby, she has been able to weasel herself into places that cameras should not be allowed.
You guessed it - the bathroom.
And her parents have become her favorite subject matter. Now you see the scope of our dilemma.
One time, she decided to enter the bathroom with the camera pointed at me right after my shower. Luckily, I got just enough clothes on so we don't get sent to jail for getting the photos developed.
For days we lived in fear that she would barge in anytime and shout "smile" before clicking off a shot. But we've been safe lately as her young mind has moved on to the next toy and her camera has laid dormant for a couple of days.
I'm beginning to think there's a good reason why we let her play with broken cameras and outdated cell phones - as now we have seen how actual working things can be dangerous.
Luckily, when she decides again to take up her shutterbug ways, there are only a few exposures left on the camera. The next step after they are all used up will be deciding whether we have the guts to get photos she took developed.
I think we plan to risk it just so she can show off her photography skills - although I'm willing to bet many of the photos will have an outline of one of her fingers on it. I'm also pretty sure she took a couple of photos backwards so we are bound to develop a few photos with a pair of nostrils or eyes and that's it. Let's hope getting the other photos printed will not get us into trouble.
Because we're still not entirely sure of the subject matter on all the photos on that camera.
Wish us luck.

After the singers do on-air performances, viewers will vote online at wgby.org/togetherinsong. The choirs with the most votes will advance to the "Together in Song Live Showcase," which will broadcast on April 27.
This year, viewer votes and judges' scores will choose who will be the overall winner, who will win a 30-minute program in which will be produced by WGBY, which will air the program as well.
Page said it is a process that mostly relies on fan engagement.
"Ultimately, fans determine who wings this competition. Judges play a key role in supporting those votes, but it will once again be social media engagement that will weigh most heavily in the winner's favor," said Page. "That engagement takes the whole competition to another level as we showcase the extremely talented amateur choral groups in this region."

INDEPENDENCE There is a crossroad at the midst of every tragedy. And while we may not see it immediately, there can also be hope and purpose.
This is the way Mark Tripodi of Independence's Cornerstone of Hope described his most gratifying and significant moment in the last 13 years.
Mark, and his wife, Christi, had found themselves at a crossroad in 2000 after the sudden death of their 3-year-old son, Bobby, who died from an infection caused by bacterial meningitis. Apart from their indescribable grieving and feelings of immense loss, the couple had great difficulty in finding support outlets.
So they decided to create a place specifically for those experiencing death of a loved one. There would be counseling, support groups categorized by the age of its attendees and the type of death they encountered including suicide, neonatal/infant, and murder, children's camps, art therapy, academic outreach, and additional services geared toward providing education, support, and most importantly, hope.
On Feb. 16, more than 800 individuals gathered to commemorate and raise funds for the Tripodi's endeavor, now in its 10th year of providing that support, education and hope to children, teens and adults who find themselves at a crossroad of their own following the death of a loved one.
The gala, held at Independence's Embassy Suites, raised more than $400,000 for Cornerstone programming and more than 75 corporate sponsorships, Mark Tripodi said.
In addition to a seated dinner, auctions, raffles and entertainment, several notable Clevelanders attended in support of the program, including Cleveland Browns coaches and players Sam Rutigliano, Jim Brown and Reggie Rucker. Denise Dufala of 19-Action News emceed the event, along with Loree Vick of University Hospitals and Robert Smith of ESPN and The Ohio State University.
The evening was dedicated to Lisa Kurtz Luciano, a founding board member. The theme of the event, "Carry It On," was a favorite expression of Luciano's to encourage others to give back what was given to them, Estremera said. The event also honored the organization's 2013 Champion of Hope, Sam Lucarelli, founder of Minute Men Staffing Services and 1-888-OHIOCOMP. The award is given each year to an outstanding community member who has showcased the values of excellence, accountability, compassion and spirituality, Estremera said.
With an annual budget of $1.2 million, Cornerstone of Hope is very much in operation, Mark said. There is a second location in Columbus. Cornerstone of Hope has served roughly 22,000 individuals and upwards of 100 support groups. Its client caseload is approximately 200 each week. It is a Christian-based organization and ministry, but does not turn away nonbelievers or those of other faiths.
The Feb. 16 gala was nothing short of special and overwhelming for the Tripodi family and Cornerstone employees. The annual event all-the-more solidifies their mission.

Weather, weather, everywhere
26 March 2014
Not one corner of the globe is untouched by the weather. This winter, many people felt the impacts of severe gales and storm surges in the UK. Meanwhile, extreme weather around the world put the UK weather into context.
In October, a severe storm, named the 'St Jude's Day storm' by the media, travelled across southern England, eventually reaching northern Europe. Gusts of up to 80 mph are rare in southern England, making the area susceptible to severe weather impacts.
Falling trees disrupted power supplies and transport, with flights diverted from Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Tragically, four people died as a result of falling trees. Our forecasts enabled contingency planners, emergency responders and the general public prepare for and limit the impacts of the storm.
Prime Minister, David Cameron said: "I think the Met Office provided good information and updated it regularly."
November began generally unsettled and wet. There were relatively few dry days, but also few frosts. Mid-November was more settled, but colder with sunshine as high pressure systems dominated. The UK experienced the first widespread frosts and some early-season snowfalls in the north.
Series of storms
From the start of December the UK entered a prolonged period of particularly unsettled weather, with a series of storms coming in off the Atlantic. A major focus of concern was high spring tides and large waves combining to cause coastal flooding. Large waves damaged sea fronts across the UK, including the historic parade in Aberystwyth.
A major winter storm on 5 December brought strong winds and a storm surge, mainly affecting the east coast. To limit impacts, we worked closely with partners, including the Environment Agency. Despite the storm surge flooding about 1,000 properties and being higher than levels experienced in 1953, advanced warnings, coupled with much improved flood defences over the last 60 years, meant that a further million homes were protected.
A succession of low pressure systems brought heavy rain and strong winds for most areas throughout December with frequent gusts of 60 to 70 mph. December was the stormiest in records dating back to 1969 and is one of the windiest months for the UK since January 1993. December was very wet across the UK, with Scotland having the wettest month overall in records dating back to 1910.
Forewarned is forearmed
Following on from last year's successful campaign we again hosted the 'Get Ready for Winter' web pages to help individuals, families and communities prepare for winter.
The pages combined messages from Government, the voluntary sector, local authorities and others. We encouraged people to prepare their properties and vehicles, take responsibility for their own safety, be aware of the latest forecasts and warnings, be prepared to alter plans and look after vulnerable people.
Storms hit transport, flooded hundreds of homes, and cut power to thousands of homes. Sadly, several people died as a result of the severe weather and flooding. Mild, wet winter continued into early January. Parts of England had the wettest January since records began, with the Somerset Levels particularly badly affected by flooding. Late in January, the military was brought in to help alleviate the situation.
Early in February, severe storms destroyed the railway line at Dawlish in Devon. As more areas across southern England suffered from flooding, the first Red Weather Warning of the winter in mid-February warned of heavy rain and strong winds.
Throughout the stormy season - the wettest on record - we directly supported the authorities by providing critical weather warnings and participating in COBRA emergency planning meetings as extreme weather continued to impact the UK.
Why wild weather?
Storms are common in winter because of the big difference in temperature between the cold air in the Arctic and the warm air in the tropics at this time of year. This contrast creates a strong jet stream, a narrow band of fast moving winds high in the atmosphere.
This winter the UK had an exceptional run of winter storms, culminating in serious coastal damage and widespread, persistent flooding. This period of weather has been part of major deviations of the Pacific and North Atlantic jet streams driven, in part, by persistent rainfall over Indonesia and the tropical West Pacific.
The North Atlantic jet stream has also been unusually strong; this can be linked to exceptional wind patterns in the stratosphere with a very intense polar vortex.
The jet stream can guide storms as they come across the Atlantic, bringing storms to the UK. It's possible for the jet stream to increase the strength of storms, but storms can also increase the strength of the jet stream. This 'positive feedback' means storms often cluster together.
As yet, there is no definitive answer on the possible contribution of climate change to the recent storminess, rainfall amounts and the consequent flooding. This is in part due to the highly variable nature of UK weather and climate.
Nevertheless, recent studies have suggested an increase in the intensity of Atlantic storms that take a more southerly track, typical of this winter's extreme weather. There is also an increasing body of evidence that shows that extreme daily rainfall rates are becoming more intense, and that the rate of increase is consistent with what is expected from the fundamental physics of a warming world.
More research is urgently needed to deliver robust detection of changes in storminess and daily/hourly rain rates and this is an area of active research in the Met Office. The attribution of these changes to anthropogenic global warming requires climate models of sufficient resolution to capture storms and their associated rainfall. Such models are now becoming available and should be deployed as soon as possible to provide a solid evidence base for future investments in flood and coastal defences.
Worldwide weather
Weather often has significant impacts that put lives at risk. From intense heat in Australia and extreme cold over North America to Typhoon Haiyan, we monitor conditions around the world, keeping an eye out for severe weather. Our range of services and advice enable organisations like the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Department for International Development (DFID) to make informed decisions. We also collaborate with and advise other weather services, for example in Africa (see page 11).
Typhoon Haiyan
In November, Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful storms ever recorded to hit land, made landfall over the central Philippines, causing catastrophic damage through the Philippine islands of Samar, Leyte and Panay.
As well as strong winds, the storm surge and heavy rain also caused major impacts. Thousands of people were killed and the UN estimates more than 11 million people were affected and some 673,000 displaced. The city of Tacloban was particularly badly hit.
After leaving destruction in its path, the typhoon moved out into the South China Sea, losing some strength before making another landfall in northern parts of Vietnam. Regional warnings for Typhoon Haiyan were produced by the Japanese Meteorological Agency and the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
We supply predictions of typhoon tracks from our global forecast model to meteorological centres worldwide, which are used with guidance from other models to produce forecasts. We are currently working closely with the Philippine Government to provide model forecasts and guidance for their region as part of ongoing collaborative work. This has proved beneficial in predictions of the recent tropical storms Lingling and Kajiki which both affected the region struck by Typhoon Haiyan.
Professor Alfredo Mahar Francisco A. Lagmay, who leads Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards) in the Philippines, said Met Office forecasts "...aided greatly in the projections for the typhoon's impact as well as in the storm surge simulations generated by the group to determine vulnerable communities. This led to successful disaster mitigation efforts in various areas which saved numerous lives."
Extreme cold over North America
Weather over North America hit the headlines in January when record breaking cold conditions spread south from the Arctic. In the US, many people linked the extreme cold to a 'polar vortex'. Traditionally, in the UK, this term is normally used to describe the persistent large-scale low pressure situated around 50 km above the poles in the stratosphere.
However, the American use of the phrase 'polar vortex' referring to the extremely cold conditions over North America is different to the definition above, instead referring to features lower in the atmosphere - in the troposphere, where our weather happens.
Usually, in winter, a deep reservoir of cold air becomes established through the lower atmosphere over the Arctic because of the lack of sunlight. This is usually held over high latitudes by the jet stream.
This winter the jet stream weakened and moved southwards over North America in the wake of a low pressure system as it moved east out of the USA and over the Atlantic. This allowed the reservoir of Arctic cold air to move southwards across the US, resulting in extremely low temperatures.
Cold weather in the US didn't mean cold weather in the UK. We get our coldest weather when winds blow from the northeast or east from the continent. In fact, cold weather in the US can strengthen the weakened jet stream and bring the UK milder and wetter weather, much as we have seen.

Women volunteers representing "The Build Generation" will raise their hammers at Habitat for Humanity construction sites across the country in recognition of National Women Build Week, from May 5-13. National Women Build Week is a nationwide initiative of Habitat for Humanity's Women Build program developed in partnership with Lowe's.
This year's theme, "The Build Generation," reflects the event's goal to recruit and train women volunteers, as well as welcome the next generation of Habitat Women Builders – young women, ages 18-24 – to support Habitat's mission to create affordable housing.
In Lambertville, on Saturday, May 12, Lowe's Heroes and women volunteers from Hunterdon and Somerset Counties will work on the Centamore family's new home at 84 York St, Lambertville. Construction will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Lowe's is providing Raritan Valley Habitat for Humanity a $5,000 Lowe's store gift card, as well as in-store volunteer training, in support of National Women Build Week. No experience is necessary. Women are taught by our female crew. Building that day will be volunteers, crew, future homeowners, and Lowe's employees.
"This is so exciting to be back in Lambertville with Women Build", said Women Build Coordinator, Kathy Tanaka. "Our very first Women Build day was held at a site in Lambertville in November 2005. Since then hundreds of women have participated in these days of making homes, friends and memories. We have funded a Women Build home in Franklin Township and in Bridgewater, and are raising funds for a third home"'
A special women only clinic will be held at the Hillsborough Lowes on Wednesday, May 2, from 7-8:30 p.m. The topic is "How to Safely Use Hand and Power Tools." Any woman may attend whether or not she is registered for the Women Build day. The clinic is free and registration is not required. Ask at the service desk for the location of the clinic in the store.

Syracuse, NY -- Some house-keeping ...
- Syracuse's annual Pro Day workout is today (Thursday). However, the event is closed to the media and public.
- Kicker John Barker is working out with the Orange again and has been added to the team roster, said Sue Edson, SU's assistant director of athletics for communications. Barker was suspended from the team prior to last season for breaking unspecified team rules.
- Some hearty Syracuse fans have waded into the outrage over in Rutgersville regarding a story by The Newark Star-Ledger that details how the Scarlet Knights lost $184,000 on their appearance in the PapaJohns.com Bowl last December.
- Port Richmond High School defensive back Torian Phillips, who signed with Syracuse in February, is one of 122 players nationally who completed the Play It Smart youth development program through the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame.

AUBURN, Alabama -- The first quarterback off the bench this season will not necessarily be the quarterback who finished second behind Nick Marshall in Auburn's quarterback race.
Sophomore Jonathan Wallace will serve as the Tigers' backup this season, coach Gus Malzahn said Sunday.
"We felt like he had a really good camp and he will be the next guy in if something ever were to happen to Nick," Malzahn said. "We have a lot of confidence in him and his teammates do, too. He understands the offense and he understands the complete playbook."
Wallace threw for 720 yards and four touchdowns with four interceptions in nine appearances last season as a true freshman. He set the school record for passing efficiency by a freshman and started the final four games.
Marshall and freshman Jeremy Johnson shared first-team snaps on offense for the latter half of camp before Marshall was named the starter Saturday. Malzahn labeled Johnson as a "2A" at the position, although Wallace will be the true backup.
RELATED: Johnson takes quarterback news in stride, says Marshall deserves job
"He made it interesting," Malzahn said of Johnson. "It's very hard to do, for a true freshman to make it interesting, but that says a lot about him."
The hope is that Johnson can redshirt this season if both Marshall and Wallace remain healthy. The dual-threat option out of Montgomery-Carvery will stick with the offense and will not work with the scout team this season. He will also travel to all road games.
"It's a great luxury to go into the first game with a guy we have confidence in, that if he goes into the game, he's going to be able to get everything right and execute and all that," Malzahn said of Wallace. "I think we're in really good shape right now going into the season. Like I said, Jeremy Johnson, if he keeps improving, he can be ready also. We've got three guys we feel really good about."
Auburn opens the season Aug. 31 against Washington State.

serious replies please, with facts...i am long time EPD shareholder..
Just buy more on the drop. See you at $60.00. Always fluctuations until 2 weeks before xdate.
I have no facts to offer but being that you`re a long time shareholder i`m a bit surprised that you concern yourself with the day to day movements of EPD.Take a Deep Breath, Relax and before you know it EPD will be at $60.00.
Sentiment: Buy
This kind of thing happens once a month.
It's options expiration and the last minute spike (up or down) is typically reversed on Monday.
There is nothing to be concerned about.. Yesterday was a quadruple witch. Confluence of all types of options, stock, index, index futures etc. Happens 4 times a year. Its all technical, the same way EPD dropped, look how KMP spiked. Absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Traders simply rolling option positions etc. Has that effect.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
My guess the drop is due to more washington talk about taxing carried interest and how that may impact MLPs. The stock is also near it's 52-week high. I have held this position fpr about 6 years and will continue to do so.
Sentiment: Hold
Wow - that is really scary. Since changing carried interest to ordinary income would basically have NO EFFECT on MLPs your reasoning makes no logical sense.
Day to day movements mean little. A big movement at the end of the day means someone put in a large market order either buy or sell. You do have some larger movements on options day and 4 times a yerar some trading by institutions for window dressing but over the longer term all thsoe trade movements mean ZIP.
You mean all that came together in the final few seconds before the market close on expirations day?
Come on, happens every month.
I allso can see no other reason after checking all sots of newsfeets through my marketbrowser.
At moments when the market pauses or tops? an investment in MLPs is a wise choise for the medium & long haul. EPD has been sweet to me.
and long
trend is up. economy is shaky, this company isn't. i think mlp tax change status isn't worth dinging the american energy infrastructure story and that chatter will ultimately die down. flight to quality or aggressive bets on the infrastructure story, both roads lead here. also staying put.

Huge Hole in Yoggie USB Stick Firewall
A full-fledged Linux computer on a USB stick: Yoggie uses this astonishing hardware trick to protect Windows machines against Web-based attacks. But there are some things that do not work as intended by the developers as an exhaustive test in Linux Magazine #94 / September will reveal. Just a few simple tricks were all it took to work around the firewall.
In our lab Linux Magazine author Jörg Fritsch discovered a major vulnerability in the Yoggie gatekeeper, Pico version 1.3.8 that gives attackers the ability to work around the firewall and directly attack the target system. The only requirement was for the attacker to be on the same subnet as the target system's physical interface. This is the case on an enterprise LAN, for example, but also on an Ethernet network at a hotel, or a WLAN hotspot at an airport. Of course, these are exactly the kind of hostile environment in which Yoggie is designed to protect users. The proof-of-concept attack involved four steps:
Step 1: A Nessus scan of the Yoggie-protected system would seem to indicate that the IP address belonging to the physical interface is perfectly protected – the system does not react to any kind of packets sent to it. Surprisingly a UDP traceroute revealed the internal IP address belonging to the Yoggie stick, that is, the address the stick uses to communicate with the host system.
Step 2: Initially it is impossible to scan the internal address, as its subnet is unknown and not routed. Our test team chose a suitable group 16 subnet mask that would work in any case and set up a route to the subnet on the attacking machine. The physical interface of the protected system was used as the gateway address.
Step 3: An Nmap scan of the new routed group 16 subnet revealed two addresses: the Yoggie firewall appliance's internal address and that of the new virtual host adapter.
Step 4: The final Nessus scan of both IP addresses revealed the vulnerability: the host system state is visible to Nessus as if Yoggie wasn't in place. There would be nothing to stop an attacker exploiting any vulnerabilities on the host system.
The author immediately disclosed the vulnerability to Yoggie (in the night of March 16/17 2008), and the manufacturer developed an update to version 1.3.9 with 36 hours to remove the security hole. The response time is fast, but the vendor's information policy is anything but exemplary. The company responded negatively to various inquiries as to when Yoggie would be releasing an advisory on the vulnerability, stating that Yoggie automatically installs updates and this was far more than a classical advisory could ever hope to achieve. The only reference to the security disaster is in a history file on the firmware:
1.3.9 (18 March 2008) ------------------------------- Fixed: ------ Issue #1008: Critical security update; device hardening including network interfaces and improved Firewall stealth mode
This is not a convincing argument. If a stick does not have an online connection, the system is still vulnerable; and even if a connection exists, there is still a race condition that leaves the host vulnerable. As the attacker has to be on the LAN, situations where the system would be vulnerable to attacks while the gatekeeper was installing an update are conceivable. Corporate mode also gives the administrator the ability to say which updates are installed on sticks. The terse comment quoted above makes it impossible for users to realize the full potential of the threat. An Yoggie has still not revealed the bug two months after the event.
Yoggie failed to give a full explanation of the vulnerability at first, but then confirmed our author's, and Linux Magazine's suspicions. Basically, the gatekeeper acts as a NAT router like any normal Linux firewall, the only exception being the connection to the Windows system. This means that all precautions that apply to the firewall configuration apply here, too. The Yoggie stick created netfilter rules but without specifying interfaces: the »-i« and »-o« parameters thus only applied to the IP addresses.
The proof-of-concept attack sent packets directly targeted at the internal address to the external interface. The Linux kernel's internal routing algorithms correctly forwarded the packets without a firewall rule intervening.
The full article with an exhaustive test of the Yoggie Pico Gatekeeper will be available in Linux Magazine #94 / September.

What Are Building Regulations?
The Building Regulations are set standards for the design and construction of buildings, primarily to ensure the safety and health for people in or around those buildings, but also for energy conservation and access to and about buildings.
What building works should comply with Building Regulations?
If you are planning to carry out such work, then it should comply with the Building Regulations.
The works themselves should meet the relevant technical requirements in the Building Regulations and they should not make other fabric, services and fittings less compliant than they previously were / or dangerous.
The Building Regulations may also apply to certain changes of use of an existing building. This is because the change of use may result in the building as a whole no longer complying with the requirements which will apply to its new type of use, and so having to be upgraded to meet additional requirements specified in the regulations for which building work may also be required.
What the regulations cover?
- Part A - Structure,
- Part B - Fire safety,
- Part C - Site preparation and resistance to moisture,
- Part D - Toxic substances,
- Part E - Resistance to the passage of sound,
- Part F – Ventilation,
- Part G – Hygiene,
- Part H - Drainage and waste disposal
- Part J - Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems,
- Part K - Protection from falling, collision and impact
- Part L - Conservation of fuel and power
- Part M - Access to and use of buildings,
- Part N - Glazing - safety in relation to impact, opening and cleaning
- Part P - Electrical safety.
SAP Calculations - SAP Ratings
SAP ratings are the technical calculation that is required in order to produce a Predicted Energy Assessment (PEA) and an On Construction Energy Performance Certificate (OCEPC), both of which are reports that abstract information from the supporting SAP calculation.
SAP calculations are simply a home energy rating that seeks to calculate a score between 1 to 100+ for the annual energy cost due to:
- the built structure of the home
- its heating and hot water system
- internal lighting
- any renewable technologies used in the home.
In the event that Building Control at your Local Authority request a SAP calculation Drawing and Planning can compile a detailed SAP calculation showing the contrast in energy costs from the existing building to the proposed plans.
Fee: £770.00 + VAT
