A Cormorant helicopter from CFB Greenwood plucked a couple and their dog from the beach at Cape Chignecto Park on Thursday night.
It's believed the incident occurred near the Three Sisters rock formation at Eatonville.
Cpl. Scott MacRae said the pair were walking their dog along the shoreline when the tide started to come in behind them. When they realized they were in trouble they called 911.
"They were fortunate in that they had a cell phone. They called 911 and the joint rescue centre dispatched a helicopter that was able to pluck them and the dog off the beach," MacRae said. "They were taken to dry land and will no doubt have a story to tell. It was a scary ordeal for them, but they're both OK."
MacRae said it could have been a much different story.
The woman is pregnant and unable to swim.
MacRae, who at one time was stationed in Parrsboro, said it's not the first time people have had to be rescued because of the changing tide. The Fundy Shore is renowned for how fast the tide changes and how high the tide gets.
"The tide changes really fast out along that shoreline so you really need to be aware of the time of day and the tide times," he said. "We've had people get stranded out there before. Some people have tried to swim their way out of it, but it's difficult to swim against the tide, while we had another instance where someone tried to climb the cliff to escape the water and got stranded."
He stressed the importance of people knowing the tide situation and being prepared for any eventuality.
"These people were fortunate in that they had a cellphone and were able to call for help," he said. "It's always important to have a plan and to let people know where you're going and when you expect to be back."

Athletes who train in any populated area are probably inhaling ozone, a common pollutant and dangerous oxygen derivative. Ozone compromises breathing ability and limits aerobic capacity.
Vitamins C and E, the best-known antioxidants, might protect against the ozone effect, says Linda Grievink of Wageningen Agricultural University in the Netherlands in the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Grievink compared the lung function of 20 cyclists given 500 mg vitamin C and 100 IU vitamin E daily for 15 weeks with 18 cyclists given placebo. To measure lung function, Grievink used two measures of lung volume: forced expiratory volume, which is the amount of air someone can expel in one second; and forced vital capacity, the total amount of air that can be expelled. Baseline forced expiratory volume was about 4.65 liters and forced vital capacity was about 5.8 liters. All cyclists were studied on several occasions, either after a training session or a race, and their lung function was compared with ambient ozone levels.
The average ozone concentration was 77 g/M3 and ranged from 14 to 186. In this range, ozone did not diminish lung function in supplemented cyclists, but it did decrease lung function among those receiving placebo. Grievink didn't speculate whether the increased aerobic capacity correlated to better athletic performance, but this study certainly suggests that vitamins C and E may help athletes maximize their aerobic potential.
Recommendation: If exercising outdoors in an area of high pollution, make sure to add antioxidants to your pre-exercise supplement program.

I ate luke warm chicken
Hi, I feel a little silly about positing this, but I am really worried because I am finally pregnant after multiple failed ivf cycles, and I am worried that I may have done something wrong. I am 8 weeks pregnant. I have been so careful with my diet but last night a had a few friends come over for dinner and I made chicken fajitas. I had the chicken cooking on the stove top and turned it off when ready. My dinner guests were late so we didn't eat until 20-30 min later, by then the chicken was luke warm. I was so tired I didn't think to reheat it and we ate it. I am now worried about listeria as I understand that I have to eat food piping hot especially chicken. I hope I am just being too paranoid. Apologies for the silly question, Is there a risk of listeria in this situation? I guess I am extra panicky given the difficult and long journey it took us to get pregnant.

There is a risk, somewhat, but it is extremely low. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I am not a midwife by the way, but a mother of four who used to freak out about everything . Congrats on the pregnancy, try not to stress too much. The chicken was cooked and still warm, both render the risk of listeria relatively low. However, from this point forward, always remember to eat meat piping hot and wash vegetables thoroughly. Just to be extra safe. =)

Hi Jen,
Congratulations on your pregnancy!
I've eaten chicken "luke warm" many times and so has my family - never had a problem.
Please post back and let us know how you're doing. I'm guessing you didn't get any kind of an upset stomach or diarrhea after eating your fajitas. Sounds like the chicken was cooked all the way through, so very little risk, if any of causing any problems.
Warm regards,

Tech Seminar Classes & Speakers
It's here! It's here! We've got class descriptions and instructors for our Tech Seminar. And they're some brainy folks.
Every step of the way, developing this seminar has been so exciting—not just getting Veggie Grill to sponsor lunch, either. We really wanted to put together classes to answer questions we heard from the VVC comment cards, in the Facebook group, and, quite honestly, what we face every day. Should I pay the $30 to be able to edit my CSS code in WordPress? Can I just use the free YouTube video editor? How do you link your social media platforms (and should you)?
With glee and joy and all things that are good, we present to you the lineup for Vida Vegan's very first seminar: Tech.
(Check out this page for further information and registration!)

Next-Level Social Media
How do you connect your blogging goals with social media? This intermediate-level session for people already active with Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks will explore the use of these tools to build community and craft your personal vs. blog identity. We'll look at identifying and utilizing emerging social media platforms such as Tumblr, Instagram, and Pinterest. We'll also touch upon best practices for sharing content across these different platforms
Helen Pitlick is super excited to be speaking about social media. She has a Master of Communication in Digital Media from the University of Washington, teaches lawyers how to blog at LexBlog, and previously managed social media for Foodista.com. In her spare time, she writes Vegtastic! and probably tweets too much about cats.

She began the MCDM program at University of Washington this fall so she could further study these changes. Dawn is a copywriter, blogs at Vegan Moxie, eats lots of Brussels sprouts, and lives with her partner and two cats.
The Nuts 'n' Bolts of a Web Page
In this class, we will walk through the basics of creating a simple web page that will introduce three core web technologies: HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Starting with the simplest possible valid HTML code, we will incrementally make the page more interesting by adding: content (HTML), style (CSS) and interaction (Javascript).
By the end of the class, we will have created an informative, pretty and dyncamic page, as well as developed a basic knowledge of web development.
Colin Barringer works for athenaHealth, Inc., developing medical billing software. He has an M.S. in computer science, has been working as a web developer for 4 years, and has extensive knowledge of a variety of computer programming languages. When pushed, he might admit that the Internet was a mistake.

Update: I can have my cake and eat it too!
October 1st, 2009 No comments
If you have been following my posts on here you'll know that I have a very… fragile setup. I am doing everything in my power to ensure that Linux and my ATi graphics card play together nicely. The other day when a new kernel update was pushed out my graphics card update was not ready and I was forced to make a decision: keep the old kernel or lose my graphics. I chose to keep the old kernel.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the code wizards have seen fit to push an update to my card and I know get to use both the newest kernel and to keep my 3D graphics and desktop effects too!
For reference the kernel was 18.104.22.168-64 and the graphics module was kmod-catalyst with matching version number.

For now, the undertaking is called Access Wasatch.
It's an ambitious effort to take the most comprehensive look ever at future transportation issues in the central Wasatch Mountains.
Local, state and federal officials are embarking on an environmental impact study (EIS) expected to come up with solutions to the most challenging questions facing Salt Lake County's beloved (some say overloved) canyons: Little Cottonwood, Big Cottonwood and Mill Creek.
Should individual vehicles continue to be the main mode of canyon travel? Or should they be replaced by buses, trains, gondolas, bikes or a combination thereof?
Should direct links be forged between Salt Lake and Summit counties, either through a system of interconnecting ski lifts or by converting old mine tunnels into subterranean passages?
Or will something else out there work better?
"This is the best opportunity," said Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, "to make long-term decisions and to implement a vision for the canyons that respects both the need to protect watershed and conserve backcountry areas while also recognizing some of the public and private uses of the canyons.
"We want to get all of the goals and objectives on the table and to find solutions we can implement that will get us to a place we'll be happy with in 20 years," he added.
'Breaking new ground' • Success won't come easy.
It's never easy to draft a full-blown EIS with a detailed analysis of land use, watershed impacts, recreational demands and economic opportunities.
But this one will be even harder, said Mike Allegra, general manager of the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), the lead local agency pulling together the disparate groups interested in the canyons.
"The organizational structure is organic and growing," he said, acknowledging it could be hard to keep all of these parties, with their often conflicting ideas, working together. In addition, the EIS process apparently will be spearheaded by a troika of federal agencies: the Federal Transit Administration, U.S. Forest Service and Federal Highway Administration.
"This is a unique process we're having to create because of all these agencies involved," Allegra said. "They've never done an EIS together. We're breaking new ground."
It won't come quickly. Several years will be needed to do the EIS. Allegra predicted it could take eight months just to draft a mission statement acceptable to everyone from ski resorts to conservationists.
Nor will it be cheap. Estimates range from $5 million to $10 million, including funds from the private sector as well as public agencies.
But EIS planners won't have to start from scratch. Canyon roadways have been studied for years.
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) did an in-depth risk assessment and management study for Little Cottonwood Canyon in 2005. A year later, funds from the National Scenic Byways Program were used to review corridor management in the Cottonwood canyons. Community aspirations for the area were highlighted in Wasatch Canyons Tomorrow report in 2010.
Then last fall, Salt Lake County released three studies that laid the groundwork for the upcoming EIS.
One examined alternative transportation in Mill Creek Canyon. The other two focused on the Cottonwood canyons. The first dealt with a range of transportation options in those two heavily traveled canyons. The second addressed parking issues in and around them.
"We were not reinventing the wheel but adding more spokes," said Andrea Pullos, Salt Lake County transportation engineer .
While there is no reason to try to implement many of the parking study's recommendations until bigger decisions are made about what future forms of transportation look like in the canyons, the report is indicative of the complexity of the task.
'Guiding principles' • Parking needs alone in the two canyons are projected to cost $16 million to $45 million, according to the study prepared by Avenue Consultants.
The study noted that 17 improvements were recommended by a steering committee including representatives of the county, UDOT, UTA, Forest Service, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities and the Wasatch Front Regional Council.
"Sites with identified parking needs are already nearing [or have well exceeded] their current parking capacities and will need attention regardless of what growth models are used to project future demands," the study concluded.
Watershed protection should be the primary goal of whatever is done, the study said, listing a dozen other "guiding principles" steering committee members agreed upon, more or less. Not all were universally accepted, the report noted, but they were included because members were "willing to consider [them] as a potential solution to parking within the canyons."
These principles endorsed:
• More mass transit
• Redirecting recreation demand from high to lower-use areas
• Expanding park-and-ride lots outside of the canyons
• Providing more parking in high-demand areas without increasing the number of spaces overall in the canyons
• Eliminating informal parking on road shoulders
• Enhancing bike and pedestrian safety
• Installing more electronic signs to inform canyon users
• Considering parking fees or passes for people not headed to ski resorts
'Preserve what people want' • At a number of picnic areas and pullouts for activities such as rock climbing, study participants favored restricting parking on road shoulders, compensating for the loss of those spaces by expanding formal parking lots with additional paving and striping.
But that could be difficult at parking lots on Forest Service land, the study acknowledged, because expanded parking is not consistent with the forest-management plan of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
"Our forest plan allows us to change a parking lot if it is to facilitate transportation or is a watershed-protection measure," said Salt Lake District Ranger Cathy Kahlow. "But we just can't increase parking areas for recreational uses. … Parking outside of the canyons and transporting people to them may be the best way to preserve what people want for those canyons."
Out-of-canyon parking hubs are discussed in the study. The largest and most expensive ($5.24 million) involves the transformation of the gravel pit on Wasatch Boulevard, just north of Big Cottonwood Canyon, into a major transit hub. The study also addresses possible changes to the "Swamp Lot" farther south on Wasatch Boulevard and ways to keep canyon traffic from backing into Cottonwood Heights' neighborhoods.
The big variable in projected parking costs involves the S-Curve at Mill B in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
A modest option for dealing with its hazards parking along the road, pedestrians intermixing with motorists would cost about $1.6 million. But another option, which entails realigning the road to remove the S-Curve and building a parking structure, could cost almost $31 million.
Whatever solutions are chosen, county environmental coordinator Kimberly Barnett said the county studies got people thinking about common issues and goals.
"Now is the time to move this forward to NEPA," she said, referring to the National Environmental Policy Act. "The canyons are loved by all, so we have to protect them."

Editor's Note
This is the first of three stories looking at a trio of studies, completed last fall under the auspices of Salt Lake County, that laid a foundation for an environmental impact statement (EIS) expected to provide a comprehensive examination of transportation issues in the central Wasatch Mountains. The groundwork studies dealt with transportation to and within Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood canyons, parking in and around those canyons and transportation issues in Mill Creek Canyon. This first story will address parking issues.

Urine collection - infants
Urine collection - infants refers to the method of getting a urine sample from a baby for testing purposes. It is usually done in a doctor's office, but can be done at home.
How the Test is Performed
Thoroughly wash the area around the urethra using soap, or cleansing wipes that your health care provider gave you. Clean from the front to the back on a female infant, and from the tip of the penis down on a male infant.
You will be given a special bag to collect the urine. It will be a plastic bag with a sticky strip on one end, made to fit over your baby's genital area. Open this bag and place it on the infant.
- For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin.
- For females, place the bag over the labia.
Put a diaper securely over the bag. For active infants, this procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can displace the bag.
Check your baby often and remove the bag after the infant has urinated into it.
Drain the urine into a sterile container and give it to the health care provider as directed. Do not touch the inside of the cup or lid. If at home, place the container in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until you return it to your health care provider.
How to Prepare for the Test
There is no preparation for the test. If you collect the urine at home, you might need a couple of extra collection bags.
How the Test Will Feel
There is no discomfort.
Why the Test is Performed
The test is performed to get a urine specimen from an infant.
Normal Results
Normal values depend on what tests will be performed on the urine after it is collected.
There aren't really any risks. Rarely, the infant might get a mild skin rash from the adhesive on the collection bag. Bag urine specimens aren't best for urine cultures because they can become contaminated.
Try to return the specimen to the health care provider as soon as possible.
In children under age 3, the discovery of a urinary tract infection is very important, as it may be a sign of a problem with the structure of the urinary tract. However, even with proper cleansing, collecting urine with a bag is not recommended for evaluation of urinary tract infections. There is a high likelihood of contamination with bacteria from the skin and (in girls) the vagina. In these cases, a catheterized urine sample is better because it is more accurate.

The name says it all. Anything that's got geometry in it is a graphical photograph. Then again, it's a bit more. It's also about curves, horizontal and vertical lines, shape and color as much as it is about making a photography look like a sketch drawn by hand. Here are a few easy ways to make your photography go right up this alley.
Keep an eye out for lines of all kinds. It could be a long, winding road or a curved bridge or a rising mountain. All these showcase geometry in the great outdoors, not to mention towering highrises and architectural delights. The next challenge is to compose it in the right frame and in the best natural lighting condition – and that is easy, too. Try to shoot between 3pm and 5pm to get the right kind of contrast and shadow. However, if the skies are overcast, anytime is a good time because the cloud cover acts as the best natural white balance and reflector.

Get color-conscious
Just the way lines and curves bring out the contrast and colors of a graphical photograph, it works in reverse as well. The colors can accentuate the lines and curves of the landscape you are shooting. For example, it could be the blue sky against a winding black road. In this picture, it's street photography at its best: The road filth against a yellow wall.

Go retro
Sometimes, discarding the color for plain old black and white images can lead to some arresting graphical photography. Take this picture of the Oslo harbour filled with old ships being resurrected as museums and restaurants or used for fjord trips. Taking this picture in black and white makes the image so much more blissful by giving time a break. If colors make pictures dynamic, black and white freezes the moment for posterity. And this picture is a good example of that.

Subject oriented
Sometimes your subject lends itself to graphical photography. Like this photograph of a singer wearing a polka dotted dress. By giving it a sepia tint, the image's light and shadow highlights get more accentuated. This is Stackridge at the Bull Theatre in London.
CC image courtesy of Veronik@GR
And sometimes, it's all about how you compose an image. Take this picture of a blind. What you see is the alternate play of light and shadow. The right composition makes the effect that much more surreal. Here is where composition helps. Taking what you want inside the frame and leaving out the rest.

Following these simple steps, and adding some of your own on the job, should you lead you to many memorable graphical photographs. Good luck.

Exclusive Barbie Collector Pink Label 50th Anniversary Wedding Day Barbie Doll and Ken Set
I don't collect, but if I did, I would have to have this set. This is a reproduction of the wedding couple sold from 1959 to 1962. I used to play with my mom's Barbies, who had the hard eyelashes, and Ken had fuzzy hair. Total blast from the past, and if nothing else, you should at least look at them next time you're in the store just to say you've seen them. It's pretty cool.

The Flume: NH Teen Reader's Choice Award was created in 2005 in response to a New Hampshire teens' request to have a book award geared towards high school students. This award is a state-wide venture led by a collaborative effort from school and public librarians. Each year teens nominate titles, published within the last two years, they think deserve to be recognized. Librarians then narrow the group of titles to a list of 13. Teens then vote for the winning title from the list of 13.

'Numminen passed the puck in from the point to Max Afinogenov who passed across the ice to Chris Drury. Drury took the shot and Huet made a fantastic Hasek-like save. Drury got the puck back and flipped it high to the front of the net. The puck bounced past the net to Max at the side of the net. Afinogenov flipped the puck to the front.

Salivary gland tumorsTumor - salivary duct
Salivary gland tumors are abnormal cells growing in the ducts that drain the salivary glands.
The salivary glands are located around the mouth. They produce saliva, which moistens food to help with chewing and swallowing.
Saliva contains enzymes that begin the digestion process, and help cleanse the mouth by washing away bacteria and food particles. By keeping the mouth moist, saliva helps to keep dentures, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances in place.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands. The largest are the parotid glands, located in each cheek over the jaw in front of the ears. Two submandibular glands are at the back of the mouth on both sides of the jaw. Two sublingual glands are under the floor of the mouth. There are also thousands of minor salivary glands around the rest of the mouth.
All of the salivary glands empty saliva into the mouth through ducts that open at various locations in the mouth.
Salivary gland tumors are rare, especially in children. Swelling of the salivary glands is most commonly due to:
- Abdominal surgery
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Infections
- Other cancers
- Salivary duct stones
- Salivary gland infections
- Sarcoidosis
- Sjogren syndrome
The most common type of salivary gland tumor is a slow-growing noncancerous (benign) tumor of the parotid gland that gradually increases the size of the gland. However, some of these tumors can be cancerous (malignant).
Malignant salivary gland tumors are usually carcinomas.
- A firm, usually painless swelling in one of the salivary glands (in front of the ears, under the chin, or on the floor of the mouth); the size of the swelling gradually increases.
- Difficulty moving one side of the face, known as facial nerve palsy
Exams and Tests
An examination by a health care provider or dentist shows a larger than normal salivary gland, usually one of the parotid glands.
Tests may include:
- X-rays of the salivary gland (called a ptyalogram or sialogram) to look for a tumor
- CT scan or MRI to confirm that there is a growth, and to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the neck
- Salivary gland biopsy or fine needle aspiration to determine whether the tumor is benign or malignant
The recommended treatment is usually surgery to remove the affected salivary gland. If the tumor is benign, no other treatment is usually needed.
Radiation therapy or extensive surgery may be needed if the tumor is cancerous. Chemotherapy is sometimes used in patients who are considered high risk, or when the disease has spread beyond the salivary glands.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most salivary gland tumors are noncancerous and slow growing. Removing the tumor with surgery usually cures the condition. In rare cases, the tumor is cancerous and further treatment is needed.
Possible Complications
- Cancerous tumors may cause further complications, including spread to other organs (metastasis).
- Rarely, surgery to remove the tumor can injure the nerve that controls movement of the face.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You have pain when eating or chewing
- You notice a lump in the mouth, under the jaw, or in the neck that does not go away in 2 - 3 weeks or is getting larger

Several people wrote me about this and the solution turned out to be fairly
simple: By right-clicking on the Mma icon I was able to set its "sessions"
properties to run in enhanced mode and that did the trick!
I'm still not sure why setting enhanced mode in the Win-OS/2 system settings
was not enough - but what the hey - it works now!
Once again thanks to all of you who responded with info to help me out in this!

I got sick right before Christmas - cough, sore throat fever, chills, body aches, the whole nine yards. Went to the doctor twice before they got me on some antibiotics that seemed to knock it out pretty well. But every since then, my temperature has seemed to be elevated at least part of the day. When I woke up this morning, it was 99.7. Around lunch time it was 100.3. It bounces around all day like this, sometimes getting back to around normal, especially when I've been resting a bit. But this has been going on for over a month now and it's driving me nuts. I feel pretty much fine except that I am flippin' exhausted. All. The. Time. Most nights I have a hard time making it past 7:30PM.
My August LO (little one) is a terrible sleeper, so admittedly I don't get much rest with him (absolute most I sleep is 7 hours a night, but that is with waking up with him several times a night still - typically it's more like 5.5-6 hours with 2-3 wake ups), but he's always been a horrible sleeper - there hasn't been any drastic change in the last month or two that would would explain why I am so much more tired. I thought maybe mono, but I've already had mono a few years back and that's apparently not the type of thing you get more than once.
I finally went and saw the doctor this morning who was no idea what my deal could be. She ordered a bunch of labs and some x-rays. The x-rays came back clear - nothing else has come back yet. I keep feeling like maybe I'm just nuts and it's just the thermometer being wrong, but last weekend, my ODS got an ear infection and when I took his temperature at home with the same thermometer, it matched exactly what the doctor's office thermometer said (we use an ear thermometer), so it seems at least reasonably accurate.
I'm at my wits end. I just want to feel normal again instead of felling zapped all the dang time.

Chris Young's hand in cast with 'a lot' of stitches
Listen to Chris Young on iHeartRadio
Chris Young still plans to perform this weekend. But the country star says in a Facebook post that it'll be "interesting" to play shows "while wearing a sling." Young had hand surgery last Friday after slicing his left hand in a kitchen mishap on Thursday.
Meanwhile, The singer's mom is sharing a few more details about his injury, which was more serious than initially reported. Becky Harris says on her Facebook page that Chris needed two operations, and the doctor "did a great job on the second surgery." She also explains that after 48 hours Chris could "still move his fingers," and they're "all still looking good color wise." Becky adds that she doesn't know when the doctor will remove the stitches, but says "there are a LOT of them."
The country star shared on Instagram:
"Oh ya know, just learning to eat with one hand for a while! #soup"
Chris has a couple of shows scheduled later this week. He's slated to be Thursday's headliner at the Steamboat Days festival in Burlington, Iowa, and join Dierks Bentley, Frankie Ballard, and others for the Country Jam in Thornville, Ohio on Saturday.
So this weekend will be interesting... Shows while wearing a sling... #firstforme I won't be telling you guys to clap with me haha

Defragmenting your hard drive Your hard drive becomes fragmented when your operating system breaks a file into smaller pieces because there isn't enough room in one contiguous section on the hard drive. This occurs more commonly when a file is created and then modified at a later date. The operating system keeps track of where all the parts of the file are saved. When you re-open the file, the operating system must find all the pieces and re-assemble them. The more fragmented files you have on your hard drive, the slower the computer's performance.
Defragmenting your hard drive rearranges the files so each file can be stored as a single unit or in consecutive areas. The Windows operating system provides a disk defragmentation program.

G-D it! Don't know why the pooter does that w/out me touching it. Anyway..... Jack! Some comments on this post: 1: If you go down to Federal triangle, Constitution and Penn Ave by 15th to 6th that was all built except the Reagan bldg pretty much in the 20s and 30s and if you ask me it sure does look a lot like the fascistic architecture of Nazi Germany. Much of it is unattractive if you ask me. 2: RE: the 30s. The Linkn Mem was started in, I think, 1910-1912. I know it was dedicated in 1922. The Jeff Mem. was started, I think, 1937, and dedicated 1943. 3. Monuments vs. memorials. They are very different. A "monument" is dedicated to the accomplishments or deeds of a person. Thus the Washington Monument. G W led us in the Am Rev and was our first president. A "memorial" is dedicated to the memory and legacy of the person themselves and their character. Thus you have the Jefferson Memorial and the Linkn Memorial. G W's memorial is Arlington House. 4. The Greco-Roman influence on architecture and statuary predates the Civil War by over 4 score. When our Founding Fathers discovered that G W didn't want to be our king or emperor they looked around for alternative gov't. They came up with Democracy which was modeled on Greece and Rome which is why you see all them hot babes on the statues in flimsy negligees all around town. My point is that the C W had little to do with it. They almost made the Linkn Mem a pyramid. Much of the architectural decisions in DC were made rather capriciously.

Of course, the power of the state is probably the ultimate strength, as it reflects the ultimate source of that power, the body politic. My explanation is correct. Somebody just decided to PC the explanation. BTW: They were also used by a certain political party in north central Europe in the early part of the last century-they also put an eagle on top-and there was no doubt as to the meaning then. You know, a lot of the public architecture in that era (1930's) was designed as a counter point to the public architecture in that part of Europe, Like the Lincoln Monument, Jefferson Monument, Eternal Flame at Gettysburg. But the stuff from the civil war was a reflection of the adaptation of the classical style in this country. Not to belabor the point, but the Mercury dime was designed by a German immigrant.

I should have added though that there is a subliminal message on the stairs on the Emancipator monument in DC. Their are fasces carved on each side. Fasces are a bundle of rods with an ax in the middle, the Roman symbol of the power of the state to punish and the ultimately, to take life away. They are also carved on either side of the Lincoln memorial in the Cemetery in gettysburg. Must have been Sickles idea.

text: Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett recently asked Fox for some time off from work for personal reasons. I'm guessing those reasons might have something to do with drinking. The anchor was arrested around noon yesterday at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport for obstructing the legal process. He basically was drunk and wouldn't cooperate with police. The police had originally been called to the airport restaurant because someone complained about Jarrett being drunk. I'm not sure why they chose the obstruction of the legal process rather than the drinking charge. He was released early this morning after posting $300 bail. It takes real effort to get drunk in an airport bar in the noon hour. I'm guessing he checked in really early for his flight.

Louisville rallies past Wichita State
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Unable to watch, Kevin Ware had his face in his jersey as Louisville attempted its game-sealing free throws down the stretch.
The Cardinals were challenged for the first time during the NCAA Tournament, but ratcheted up their full-court press when they needed to.
Russ Smith had 21 points and Luke Hancock added 20 off the bench as Louisville downed gritty and valiant Wichita State, 72-68, to advance to its first national championship game since 1986, when the Cardinals last won it all.
Louisville (34-5) led 70-68 with 8.1 seconds left as Hancock stepped to the foul line following a layup from the Shockers' Carl Hall. Hancock sunk the first shot and missed the second. As the ball ricocheted sharply off the back rim on the second attempt, Wichita State's Ron Baker appeared to secure the rebound, but Hancock reached in and forced a jump ball. The possession arrow was in favor of Louisville.
Smith then stepped up to the line with 4.9 ticks to go and split the pair to seal the outcome.
Louisville will play the winner of the Syracuse/Michigan game for the national title on Monday.
Ware, who suffered a gruesome leg injury during last Sunday's South Regional Final against Duke, sat at the end of the court next to the elevated platform. The reserve guard broke his right leg while leaping to block a 3-point try by the Blue Devils' Tyler Thornton with 6:33 remaining in the first half. His injury elicited an emotional reaction from his teammates, as well as the entire nation, during the week leading up to Saturday's game.
Louisville's vaunted pressure defense forced four Wichita State turnovers over the first seven minutes, but didn't get another one for the next 26 as the Shockers built up a lead as large as 12 -- Louisville's largest deficit of the tourney -- during the middle stages of the second half.
The Cardinals, though, were able to generate seven giveaways over the final 6:45.
Louisville, the overall No. 1 seed in the tournament, blew the competition away over their first four contests. It won by an average of nearly 22 points, while forcing almost 18 turnovers a tilt.
Cleanthony Early tallied 24 points and 10 rebounds to lead the No. 9 seed Shockers (30-9), who were in the Final Four for the first time since 1965. Hall finished with 13 points, while Baker added 11 points and eight boards in defeat.
Wichita State controlled the tempo of the contest throughout and attacked the offensive glass, where it finished with a 14-11 margin. The Shockers also built walls in the driving lanes as Louisville struggled to penetrate. Twenty- five of the Cardinals' 49 field-goal attempts were from beyond the arc, where they made nine.
Louisville's bench, which outscored Wichita State's 34-9, sparked the Cardinals during a 21-8 run after Early nailed a left-wing triple to give the Shockers their 12-point cushion, 47-35. with 13:41 remaining. Walk-on Tim Henderson ignited the surge.
Henderson netted just 16 points during the year, but knocked down back-to-back right-corner treys to start the burst. Hancock had seven points during the swing, including a triple to conclude it following Peyton Siva's steal of Hall that vaulted the Cards to their first lead of the second half, 56-55, with 6:35 to play.
The Shockers gave the ball away six times over their next nine possessions, and Chane Behanan's tip-in and Hancock's 3-pointer on consecutive Louisville trips down the floor vaulted the Cards to a 65-60 edge with two minutes remaining.
A pair of Early baskets, sandwiched around a Hancock layup, pulled the Shockers within 67-64 with 49.2 ticks left. Instead of playing out the possession, Wichita State elected to extend the game and fouled Smith, who split a pair to make it 68-64.
Early tipped home an offensive rebound with 37.5 seconds to go before Smith sunk two free throws. Hall's layup then cut the deficit to two with 12 seconds left.
With the Cardinals starting out the contest in their matchup zone, Early and Baker hit 3-pointers as the Shockers jumped out to an 8-0 lead. Louisville responded with a 13-2 push to go ahead, with Wichita State committing all four of its first-half turnovers during that stretch.
Smith struggled early on. He missed his first four free throws and three shots from the floor before hitting on his final four, including three from beyond the arc.
The Shockers, though, took a slim 26-25 lead into the break.
Game Notes
The Cardinals were 11-of-19 from the floor over the final 13 minutes of the game. They finished the tilt 22-of-49 (44.9 percent) from the field ... Siva was limited to just seven points on 1-of-9 shooting.

Shakira reveals album title
Listen to Shakira on iHeartRadio
Shakira has announced that her forthcoming album will be self-titled. The singer is explaining her choice in a lengthy Facebook post on Wednesday, which was also her son Milan's first birthday.
She writes that the new album was recorded over "the happiest period in [her] life thus far," and that it isn't "thematic" or "conceptual." Instead, she says the release is "a little bit of everything," a reflection of her own personality - which she describes as "sensitive" and "upbeat" to "dreamy," "romantic" and "a little melodramatic."
Shakira tells fans she's worked tirelessly with many different people to put together the finished product, which will be released on March 25th. It's being led by the Rihanna-assisted "Can't Remember To Forget You."

Defense expert to discuss Gen Y, world politics
Peter Warren Singer, one of the world's leading experts on changes in 21st-century warfare, will discuss the relationship between Generation Y and the future of world politics Thursday, Jan. 20, at the University of South Carolina.
Singer is director of the 21st Century Defense Initiative at the Brookings Institution. His lecture, titled "Millennial World: The Future of Geopolitics and America in the Age of Generation Y," will take place at 7 p.m. in Lumpkin Auditorium of the Darla Moore School of Business. The event is free and open to the public and sponsored by the Walker Institute for International and Area Studies.
Singer says he plans to shed light on how some of the massive changes that are reshaping world politics -- rise of China, global climate shift and emergence of cyberwar -- are happening at the same time that America is experiencing demographic shifts in everything from ethnicity to religion, regional political power and the economy.
"The new generation of kids, the Millennials, see the world differently, having grown up in a world of everything from 9-11 to Google," said Singer. "They're greater in population size than the Baby Boomer generation and three times the size of Generation X. The most fundamental shifts you can imagine in the world, in America and in our identities are all happening at once, each influencing and shaping each other."
Singer, the youngest scholar named senior fellow in Brookings' 90-year history, wrote the 2009 book, "Wired for War: The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century." In 2005, he was named to CNN's "New Guard -- List of the Next Generation of Newsmakers." He was coordinator of the Obama-08 campaign's defense policy task force and, in 2009, was named by Foreign Policy magazine to the "Top 100 Global Thinkers List."
Singer's public lecture kicks off a year of special events to commemorate the Walker Institute's 50th anniversary. For more information, contact the Walker Institute at 803-777-8180, or visit the webpage www.cas.sc.edu/iis/
