"Family Portrait In Black and White"
Olga Nenya, from a small Ukrainian town, is raising 16 black orphans in a country of Slavic blue-eyed blondes. The reality of growing up as a bi-racial child in Eastern Europe - a rare and truly visible minority - is not for the faint of heart. These children always have to be on guard against the world that surrounds them. D

(If you've opened this page mid-session, make sure you refresh your browser often to get the latest updates.)
We continue our grand experiment: liveblogging of the public sessions of the U.S. bishops' fall general meeting in Baltimore. (Earlier sessions here, here, and here.)
4:11 p.m.: Go here for the rest of this afternoon's liveblog, because this post was getting too long.
3:48 p.m.: To help you understand the discussion earlier in this post on politics and abortion, we now have, in a separate post, the preliminary text of the guidance statement for Cardinal George as he formulates that response.
3:42 p.m.: Just before coffee break, votes are announced on "action items" discussed in the morning. All were approved: priorities and plans, the budget for 2009 and both the English and the Spanish versions of the special blessing for children in the womb.
3:37 p.m.: Other bishops talking about the impact of recent hurricanes in Texas and Louisiana. These are heavily Catholic areas, where the parish hall serves as the community gathering place, but the media has moved on and no one knows about the ongoing suffering.
3:29 p.m.: Cardinal DiNardo of Galveston-Houston is giving an update on recovery from Hurricane Ike. Notes that once the media left, no one knows about the devastation. Says life in Galveston is still a catastrophe.
3:24 p.m.: Cardinal George sums up by noting the variety of audiences the statement could be aimed at — general public, Catholics, politicians — but that arguments can be based on natural law theory, not just religious principles that others can reject. He promises "I'll do my best" with all the suggestions that have been made.
3:18 p.m.: More calls for a "prophetic" statement. Obama was elected by using the words "hope" and "change," and the bishops must be equally prophetic.
3:15 p.m.: Bishops encouraging other bishops to not be afraid to stand up for life in whatever they do in their home dioceses, even if it means risking their own lives.
3:07 p.m.: Bishop Martino of Scranton alludes to Vice President-elect Biden when he comments that no Catholic politician should be able to come into his diocese — Biden was born in Scranton — and erroneously state Catholic teaching on abortion.
3:05 p.m.: Bishop Trautman says he trusts that Cardinal George will issue a good statement, but also suggests that it take a prophetic tone. Bishops now express joking concern that the cardinal will be up all night trying to take all their suggestions to heart.
2:53 p.m.: Bishops also concerned about the term "common good" since some Catholic groups tried to use that terminology to justify voting for pro-abortion politicians.
2:47 p.m.: Lots of bishops speaking up now. I take back what I said below at 2:29 — they were just getting warmed up.
2:45 p.m.: Archbishop Hughes raises issue that President Obama may be able to reverse a number of executive orders on his first days in office, underlining the urgency of this question.
2:38 p.m.: More applause as bishops recall the link Cardinal George made in his presidential address yesterday tying the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision to the current battle for the rights of the unborn.
2:34 p.m.: Bishop Boyea draws applause when he raises the specter of Catholic hospitals being forced to shut down because of their refusal to comply with regulations requiring them to perform abortions.
2:29 p.m.: Bishops going point by point through a five-point proposal for the statement. Little discussion, because obviously everyone in the room agrees on the importance of the abortion issue in America today.
2:25 p.m.: Cardinal Egan asks that the statement be limited to "one important thing to say" and not let it get lost in trying to cover too much. Bishops agree by voice vote.
2:21 p.m.: Politicians and abortion discussion now beginning. Statement coming, but can't be issued by the full body of bishops on such short notice, so the bishops are authorizing Cardinal George to issue a statement on their behalf.
2:19 p.m.: Just for the record, Cardinal George is reading the text of this morning's statement on the economy.
2:15 p.m.: Here's a link to the list of the five committees for which the bishops are electing chairmen.
2:12 p.m.: Back to elections for committee chairs, but they're doing them by paper ballot, so we won't get results right away.
1:57 p.m.: Getting ready for the afternoon session. Bishops have lots to cover.

SEBRING, Fla. (AP) — A woman accused of illegally feeding bears will undergo two mental health evaluations.
Highlands Today reported Tuesday that a judge ordered 81-year-old Mary Musselman be tested before she can stand trial.
Musselman was arrested in February after authorities say she repeatedly violated warnings not to feed the wild animals. Feeding bears can cause them to lose their fear of humans and can lead to attacks.
Authorities say she has since been placed in an assisted living facility.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for June.

RSS (an abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed format used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. An RSS document is usually called a "feed" and includes summarized text, plus data such as publishing dates and authorship.
Web feeds are a means to syndicate content automatically. RSS feeds can be read using software called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's URL into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds.

Teachers express views on pay-for-performance law
Pay-for-performance is a concept nearly everyone understands, but a group of Bingham County educators say they will never qualify.
They are those who teach and guide students at Independence Alternative High School, which serves all five districts in the county.
"People in the community are under the impression that good teachers will be rewarded" under the state's pay-for-performance or merit pay law," said Dan Grimes, who teaches government at IAHS. "But that's not true."
"Pay-for-perforrmance goes out to schools that meet certain standards, not to the teachers," said Mark Kartchner, the principal at IAHS. "The school gets additional funds if its students meet those goals. The testing is in math, language arts and reading.
"If your kids perform well, your school will get the money. We're not really rewarding great teachers," Kartchner said.
Pay-for-performance is among three education laws which will be on the November ballot. They are already in effect but enough citizens opposed them to get the laws a second look.
"We have great teachers here," Kartchner said. "I personally feel we have some of the best teachers in the district.
"Our goal is to help students get through high school," Kartchner continued. "Our best teachers need to be with kids who are struggling."
Grimes was the Blackfoot School District's Teacher of the Year in 2010. He will be presenting his views of why the three education laws -- dealing with collective bargaining, pay-for-performance and mandated assignment of laptop computers to all high school students in the state - on Wednesday. The Greater Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce and the Blackfoot Rotary Club are sponsoring his appearance at the Blackfoot Performing Arts Center from noon to 1:30 p.m.
"Being a good teacher can mean being able to get a student through a class," said social sciences teacher Rose Jex.
"There are so many teachers that shape kids' lives," science teacher Becky Price added.
"What's wrong with the (pay-for-performance) law is we are a very good school," said IAHS counselor Randy Martineau. "The law doesn't reward good teachers; it rewards schools with high-achieving demographics. "
Grimes pointed out that staff members, such as paraprofessionals who are key to helping students achieve success, are not eligible for the pay-for-performance funds.
Eric DuPuis, an English teacher at IAHS, said, "far more hurtful than the money is the thought that we lack merit or performance. We're happy to take at-risk kids, but we don't expect to get slapped in the face for it."
If teachers are ineligible for the pay-for-performance because their schools didn't meet such things as annual yearly performance they will leave those schools for successful ones, Grimes said.
"Our ultimate goal is to get the kids to perform well," Grimes said. "If this group will never be eligible for pay-for-performance, it will lead the top teachers to leave (their schools)."
"How are you going to say to great teachers, 'stay here where you don't have a chance?' to qualify for the merit pay," Kartchner asked.

Aye Jay's back with more art from his son Cohen's collabs with some talented artists. Click here to see the first installment with UPSO, Tiffany Bozic, and John Stewart with interviews.
Aye Jay emailed us awhile ago to let us know about a project he and his son have been working on that we'd like to tell you all about. It's pretty swell... His very young son, Cohen, (think he's like 6) does this water color paintings and then Jay sends them onto established/ talented artists to have them do something on top of it- a collab, if you will. The idea is to collect all of these great works of art for his son so that when he gets older... well, he's going to be pretty damn stoked to have such a great collection.

Chris Brown's Most Surprising Gay Comments Yet
Chris Brown has lost the ability to shock us. Or, at least we thought.
In response to an AllOut.org petition aimed at ending violence against gays in Cameroon, Chris tweeted an unequivocal message of support for gays and lesbians.
Love is not a crime. Gay or straight. Love who u wanna love. Stop the hate & sign here http://t.co/LAdsuz2iaf #Unity
— Chris Brown (@chrisbrown) October 1, 2013
The message comes a few months after the launch of Chris's "Unity Campaign," designed to bring folks together regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation.
Well, regardless of his past, at least he is trying to show support and is speaking out about it now. He has to start somewhere if he is going to change. Why stay mad at someone when they are trying to at least voice a change of heart whether you feel it's genuine or not? Again, he has to start somewhere...IJS
He was a child number 1 yes 19 when it happened declares him a child but no one talks about Charlie Sheen, Tommie Lee, Mel Gipson and others. And these are grown men. but no one talks about them even if TMZ put it all over the news. But it is funny how someone will put critism to a child but not an adult smh
Chris brown is a bully, a coward and the Ike Turner of our generation. If he is giving support to the LGBT community, I DON'T WANT IT NOR DO I NEED IT! He is a negative influence and has some deep seeded issues that he needs to deal with first before trying to give support to anybody else.
Love don't live here no moe :P

This is a short posting to ask what you would do in a specific situation. I will follow up on this posting with a summary of the answers and see if there is any correlation between the answers and the organization type.
Maintaining an appropriate level of IT security is important in any organization. IT leaders need to balance the need to maintain a secure computing environment with usability. Likewise, an IT organization that is... overzealous... in its security mission might be seen as rigid or, they may be seen as saviors. It depends on the organization.
Consider the following hypothetical scenario:
An IT staffer walks by the office of an employee that belongs to a different department. The employee is not in his office. The IT person notices a sheet with some passwords is sitting out on the person's desk and there are some interns working in the office that should not have access to these systems. The credentials allow access to the organization's ERP system. The organization is not in an industry, such as healthcare, that demands a high level of privacy for all information, but is in a market that requires a reasonable level of privacy for its information.
What would you do?
- Find the person and point out the folly of leaving a password list out in the open.
- Find the person's manager and point out the error.
- Go into the person's office and put the list in a drawer or under something else and send the person an email message indicating that you took this step.
- Go into the person's office, take the list, and turn it into the CIO for further action.
- Something else. What would you do?
For those of you that provide an answer to this question, please indicate both your answer and the type of organization in which you work.

The State of American Aviation
2167 Rayburn House Office Building
This is a hearing of the Subcommittee on Aviation.
Summary of Subject Matter
Official Hearing Transcript
Shuster and LoBiondo Opening Statements
Subcommittee on Aviation Hearing on the State of American Aviation
December 12, 2013
(Remarks as Prepared)
Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA)
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
I want to thank Chairman LoBiondo for holding this hearing today and for his continued leadership on aviation.
I had the opportunity yesterday to speak to the International Aviation Club of Washington. My message yesterday was simple: aviation is important. It provides millions of American jobs and is responsible for over a trillion dollars in economic activity each year.
While I think our system is the best in the world, we have an obligation to improve it. The status quo is unacceptable – we need bold, innovative ideas. The only way to improve our system is to listen, and this hearing is the beginning of that process as we work toward the next FAA reauthorization. I want to put all ideas on the table and listen to input from everyone.
I recognize our system is unique, with more airports and commercial and general aviation activity than elsewhere in the world. But our ultimate goal should be to compare our system with other global aviation leaders and use what works best to ensure the American aviation industry remains economically viable, globally competitive, and most importantly, safe.
The next reauthorization bill shouldn't be my vision, or Congress' vision. It needs to be a collective vision that benefits everyone.
American ingenuity is second to none – we can have a more efficient, safe, and modern aviation system. We just need to work together and listen. If we do that, we can enact the next FAA reauthorization without another five-year delay and 23 extensions.
Chairman Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ)
Subcommittee on Aviation
Today we are going to hear from representatives of the Department of Transportation and the various segments of the U.S. aviation industry—airports, airlines, labor, manufacturers, and general aviation—on the state of American aviation. This hearing is a good way to wind down the Subcommittee's 2013 activities and begin to shift focus to 2014 and the next FAA Reauthorization bill.
The existing federal aviation law – the FAA Modernization and Reform Act – was enacted after five years and 23 short term extensions. It created a stable, four-year framework for the FAA and industry stakeholders. The Reform Act also made important reforms to the aviation system and to the FAA in order to increase efficiency and modernize the air traffic system. The goal was to maintain a safe, modern, and efficient civil aviation system now and into the future.
As I have said before, ensuring implementation of the Reform Act remains a top priority of the Subcommittee. This includes all of the ongoing work at the William J. Hughes Technical Center on important programs such as NextGen, unmanned aircraft systems, and critical FAA safety initiatives. But along with ensuring implementation of the Reform Act, we must also begin to look ahead to the next one.
It is an understatement to say that aviation is a key sector of the U.S. economy. Commercial aviation represents five percent of our gross domestic product and roughly ten million American jobs. General aviation (GA) contributes about $150 billion to the economy and supports roughly 1.2 million jobs. Commercial airports support over 10 million jobs and create annual payrolls of $365 billion.
Clearly, a healthy and safe aviation industry is good for the economy; it's good for job creation; it's good for passengers; and it's good for all stakeholders.
The FAA forecasts long term aviation growth, resulting in increased air traffic. These forecasts highlight the need to modernize the air traffic control system, streamline certification and rulemaking processes, and ensure that the FAA is properly organized to oversee the NextGen program.
Additionally, foreign competition and ongoing funding challenges must also be addressed. We want to create an environment that allows for a healthy aviation industry while making sure that the United States remains the gold standard of aviation innovation and safety.
As Chairman Shuster indicated in his speech yesterday, in preparing for the next FAA reauthorization bill, we want to think big and hear from everyone. All ideas are welcome. We are all working toward the same goals – a healthy and innovative aviation industry that remains the world's gold standard, a modern and efficient air traffic control system, and a productive and effectively organized Federal Aviation Administration.
Therefore, we look forward to hearing from each of the witnesses today regarding how they believe American aviation is doing right now, as well as any impediments to growth and ideas for the next reauthorization bill.

World-famous eagles move to new nest
World-famous eagles move to new nest
The Decorah eagles have moved to a new nest and will be offline for much of this year.
The Gazette in Cedar Rapids reports the eagles built a new nest about 400 feet from their old one. They have been watched throughout the world thanks to a camera that provided streaming video over the Internet.
Pat Schlarbaum, a biologist with the Department of Natural Resources' wildlife diversity program, calls eagles "compulsive nest builders" and says their move isn't related to cameras that have documented their lives since 2007.
Bob Anderson, who directs the Raptor Resource Project, says if nearby landowners give their support, his group will install news cameras this fall.

So here it is...the last book in the series is released at midnight tonight. I've already pre-ordered mine from Amazon; it should be arriving today or tomorrow. So, how eagerly are we anticipating the last installment? And what do you think of the events that will unfold as we read it this weekend? Also, I don't mind if this thread goes into a discussion of magic, either. I've got some ideas myself.
Wouldn't it be funny if Neville turned out to be the chosen one! Harry did all those things in the first 6 books and the find's out he was just a normal boy. But I guess that's what he always wanted to be, isn't it?

Illegal operation of certain vehicles
Bartow Police Chief Joseph Hall
Statutory regulations are our way of living in a civil and safe society. They are, in part, designed to protect everyone. They are guidelines for every citizen to follow, especially when operating on the roadways. Obviously, not everyone follows the rules hence the saying, "Drive defensively." If you violate the rules, you may find yourself being stopped by a police officer and maybe even receiving a traffic citation. Laws, or statutes as I refer to them, are also supposed to be designed so that the average citizen can understand — so we can follow the rules.
In Bartow, we routinely receive complaints about vehicles operating on the roadways that are not supposed to be there. Typically speaking, golf carts and all-terrain vehicles are not allowed by law to be operated on roadways. There are some exceptions, but they are few and far between. In Bartow, the City has authorized "governmental only" golf carts in the downtown area. This would be one exception to the rule.

In December 2010, a federal district court jury in New York convicted former Goldman Sachs computer programmer Sergey Aleynikov of stealing a huge portion of the Wall Street bank's proprietary, high-frequency trading (HFT) software code to aid his new employer. It sentenced him to eight years in prison. Federal prosecutors heralded the verdict as an example of the government's crackdown on employees who steal valuable company information in digital form.
But on Feb. 16, in an unusual move, a 2nd Circuit three-judge panel reversed the judgment just hours after oral arguments and ordered the defendant released. On April 11, the 2nd Circuit released its full opinion in U.S. v. Aleynikov.
Aleynikov acknowledged that he violated Goldman's confidentiality policy, but contended he had not committed a crime. In agreeing with that, the 2nd Circuit limited prosecutors' use of the Economic Espionage Act of 1996 (EEA), which makes it a crime to steal trade secrets, and the National Stolen Property Act (NSPA), which bars the transportation of tangible stolen material property across state lines.
"While there are other ways to protect these types of systems as trade secrets, such as under state uniform trade secrets laws, state or federal unfair competition laws, or through the Copyright Act, the decision is significant to the financial giants on Wall Street because it may destroy their ability to deter these kinds of thefts through criminal prosecution," says Paige Mills, a member at Bass, Berry & Sims.
Narrow Interpretation
Aleynikov stood to increase his salary from $400,000 to $1.2 million by accepting a job offer from Goldman competitor Teza Technologies, which planned to build its own HFT system.
Just before his going-away party at Goldman, Aleynikov encrypted and uploaded to a server in Germany more than 500,000 lines of source code for Goldman's HFT system. He then downloaded the code to his home computer. Later he took some of the code to a meeting with his new employer. As he returned home, the FBI arrested him at the airport. The FBI searched Teza computers but found no copies of Goldman's code.
A jury found Aleynikov guilty of violating the EEA and the NSPA. On appeal, both prosecution and defense focused their arguments on whether the two federal criminal statutes applied in the case. The 2nd Circuit ruled that the indictment was insufficient as a matter of law.
The appeals court held the stolen code was not "related to or included in a product that is produced for or placed in interstate or foreign commerce" within the meaning of the EEA because Goldman never intended to sell or license it. The district court had held that the EEA applied because the software ultimately would have been used in a trading system that engaged in interstate or foreign commerce.
The appellate court also held that the code was not a "stolen good" within the meaning of the NSPA, because it was purely intangible property. It cited the 1985 Supreme Court opinion in Dowling v. United States, which held that the NSPA did not apply to an interstate bootleg music operation.
"We decline to stretch or update statutory words of plain and ordinary meaning in order to better accommodate the digital age," 2nd Circuit Chief Judge Dennis Jacobs wrote in his opinion.
But Joseph Lazzarotti, a partner at Jackson Lewis, says the opinion suggests the theft might have been prosecutable if the code had been stolen in a tangible form, such as a printout or flash drive.
"Like a lot of things, the courts have not caught up with technology," he says. "They would have protected this on a f lash drive but not when it is downloaded— it's silly."
Protecting IP
In a concurring opinion, Judge Guido Calabresi said that while he agreed with the court's analysis, it was hard for him "to conclude that Congress, in this law, actually meant to exempt the kind of behavior in which Aleynikov engaged." Calabresi said he hoped Congress would clarify what it intended to make criminal activity under the EEA.
While congressional action may be needed to better protect digital IP, the case cautions in-house counsel about the importance of protecting trade secrets from theft in the first place. Best practices include requiring employees to participate in confidential-awareness training and incorporating computer theft statutes by reference in employee confidentiality provisions, Mills says. She also suggests a company enter into nondisclosure and noncompete agreements with consultants or vendors.
Lazzarotti recommends strict oversight and monitoring of a company's data security apparatus, particularly if it is controlled by one person.
"With so much resting on information technology, to put so much power on one person can be bad," he says. "Having another party overseeing it on a regular basis would help minimize the risk." He adds that if an employee with access to critical information is leaving the company, as Aleynikov did, his computer access should be closely monitored.
Brent Cossrow, a partner at Fisher & Phillips, says there are many civil remedies that employers can pursue to obtain monetary and injunctive relief. Civil actions can be brought for conversion, breach of fiduciary duty and nondisclosure agreements and, in some states, violations of uniform trade secrets statutes.
But regardless of whether Goldman pursues civil remedies, Aleynikov did not get off scot-free. He served a year in prison, and, during the course of the prosecution, lost his home, wife and employment.

Consumer Services pathway focuses on the careers relating to help others to successfully manage their resources including personal and family financial goal setting across the life span, risk management, individual decision making, strategies to goal achievement, income, asset and debt management, risk management, preventing financial difficulties and working with public resources. This is not customer service or the finance/banking professions (which are addressed in the Business and Management career field), but helping people manage their financial decisions as through credit counseling, real estate, and family financial planning to name a few.
Early Childhood Development and Services (CIP Code: 19.0709)
The Early Childhood Development and Services pathway focuses on the careers relating to meeting the needs of children (birth to age five), be they providers in home, community, educational or institutional settings and includes child growth and development, nutrition, recreation, planning and supervising learning activities; child abuse and neglect prevention, working with parents and the legal and administrative requirements of the field. Careers range from preschool teacher to child care center manager.
Family and Community Services (CIP Code: 19.0799)
NOTE: This pathway will be retitled 'Family, Community and Consumer Services' July 1, 2016 to reflect the absorption of the Consumer Services pathway.
The Family and Community Services pathway focuses on careers relating to meeting the essential needs of people, especially occupations which focus on relationships between and among family members including family counseling, marriage therapy, non-profit management and others related to helping others. This pathway is unique in that the entire human condition is reviewed. This is based on the philosophy that no one topic is stand alone, but rather needs to be studied together just as people interact with society on a daily basis and function in the world. . This cluster addresses knowledge and skills in a range to topics from nutrition and wellness and family studies to consumer and personal finance and human growth and development. A strong tie to service leadership is part of this pathway which enhances empathy and caring, two traits important to this cluster area.

Mets 4, Padres 1
In just his 11th big league start, Zack Wheeler joined some
pretty good company in the New York Mets' record book.
How about Nolan Ryan and Pedro Martinez good?
Wheeler struck out a career-high 12 in six innings, and Marlon
Byrd had a two-run double to lead the Mets to a 4-1 victory over
the San Diego Padres on Thursday night.
With his performance, Wheeler matched those two aces as the only
Mets to strike out at least 12 in six innings or less.
"Early in the game Zack was working both sides of the plate
real well," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "He had great
movement on his fastball today and got some balls in the corner. He
made some good big pitches. They had to hunt the fastball and he
got some good swings on off-speed stuff that was the difference
especially his slider."
Byrd lined a two-out double over a hesitant right-fielder Chris
Denorfia's head in the eighth inning, Mets outfielders saved two
runs with outstanding plays and New York snapped a three-game
Mets left-fielder Eric Young Jr. saved a homer by leaping above
the wall and knocking the ball back onto the field in the third
inning. Center fielder Juan Lagares then threw out a runner at home
plate in the fifth.
Byrd doubled off reliever Luke Gregerson (5-7), who had
intentionally walked the left-handed hitting Daniel Murphy to pitch
to the righty Byrd. Gregerson hit pinch-hitter Mike Baxter with a
pitch. Baxter stole second before Murphy was walked.
Denorfia made his first step in on Byrd's hard-hit ball. He then
hesitated and never recovered as the ball sailed over his head.
Scott Atchison (3-1) got the victory by pitching a scoreless
seventh inning.
John Buck added his 15th home run, a solo shot off Padres
reliever Tim Stauffer in the ninth. It was his first homer in 96
Rookie Gonzalez Germen pitched two scoreless innings for his
first career save. He struck out three of the Mets' 15 Ks
Both starting pitchers, Wheeler and the Padres' Tyson Ross, were
Wheeler allowed one run on seven hits. He walked one and threw a
career-high 115 pitches, 73 for strikes.
"I was keeping my pitch count low early in the game, but after
the third or fourth inning I got a little carried away and tried to
strike some people out," Wheeler said.
Ross also allowed a run. He worked seven innings and yielded
five hits. He struck out eight without walking a batter and threw
109 pitches, 74 for strikes.
"He held his stuff for seven innings, all the things you look
for," Black said.
The Mets took a 1-0 lead in the top of the fourth. Murphy
singled to left leading off. He went to second on a hit-and-run
groundout by Ike Davis. With two outs Josh Satin hit a slow roller
that shortstop Ronny Cedeno barehanded and threw to first. The
throw appeared to be in time, but first base umpire Brian Knight
ruled that first baseman Yonder Alonso had pulled his foot off the
Murphy never stopped running as Alonso thought that he had made
the last out and headed for the dugout while Murphy came all the
way around to score.
The Padres tied the game in the bottom of the fourth. They
loaded the bases on singles by Chase Headley and Denorfia
sandwiched around a walk to Alonso. With one out Jaff Decker hit a
sacrifice fly to left scoring Headley.
In the third, Rene Rivera hit a ball that was out of park in
left field but Young leaped at the wall and the ball his glove and
the top of the wall before laning on the outifeld turf. Rivera
raced in for a triple.
Wheeler then struck out Ross and Will Venable to strand Rivera
at third.
"Whenever I needed to I made the pitches that I had to," said
Wheeler. "I was able to throw off-speed pitches over for strikes
and it worked out well for me.
Padres manager Bud Black was impressed with Wheelers.
"A good young arm, good delivery," Black said. "The ball came
out with great velocity. The kid's got a good arm. I was very
impressed with his stuff, his delivery, the way he went through
that game."
In the bottom of the fifth with runners on first and second and
two outs, Alonso hit a line drive to center field. Lagares fielded
the ball and threw one hopper that catcher John Buck grabbed and
just tagged a sliding Ross for the final out of the inning.
Lagares also made a diving catch on Jedd Gyorko's liner in the
eighth with a runner on.
NOTES: Venable extended his hitting streak to a career-high 12
with a single in the fifth. … Mets fill-in closer LaTroy Hawkins
was not available Thursday after getting his in the groin on a
comebacker in Los Angeles on Wednesday. … Padres OF Carlos
Quentin, out since July 31, got a second opinion on his right knee
Thursday at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedic Clinic in Los Angeles.
Results of the tests were unavailable. … Padres C Nick Hundley,
who went on paternity leave on Thursday, became a father for the
first time when his wife Amy gave birth to a girl earlier in the
day. … The Padres called up Chris Robinson from Triple-A Tucson
to take Hundley's place on the roster. … Padres RHP Jason Marquis
was moved from the 15- to the 60-day disabled list on. Marquis
underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow on
July 30. … The Mets and Padres continue their four-game series
Friday with New York's RHP Jenrry Mejia (1-3, 2.22 ERA) scheduled
to pitch against the Padres RHP Edison Volquez (8-10, 5.80).

Rabbi Goldman is leaving the piilpit of the Jewish Center which he has occupied for seven years to .icccpt thc spiritual leadership of a Chicago congregation. More than COO persons in attendance at the event lie.ird tributes paid to Rabbi Goldman Ijy City Manager William R. ITopkins, Congressman Charles A. Mooney, Rev. Joel B. Hayden, Rabbi Barnett R. Brickner, Rabbi E. Eckstein, Kabbi Abraham Nowak, E. M. Baker, Mrs. Siegmund Ilerzog, Sainuel Rocker, A. IT. Friedland and by Samuel Bialosky, Samuel Feierman, and Mrs. J. Sharwcll as rcpresctUativcs of the Center Congre¬ gation, Center Men's Chtb and Center Sisterhood, rcsjiectivcly. Max Simon was toastmaster. Rabbi Goldman in response to the tributes expressed his' appreciation of thc honor accorded him and strc5.<;c<l the message which only recently had been delivered by him as spciiker at the Na¬ tional Conference of Jewish Social Serv¬ ice licld in Atlantic City wlicre he made a strong plea against assimilattonism and universalism. Rabbi Goldman read this passage from the address delivered on that occasion: "The pursuit of comfort and excite¬ ment has taken hold of all of ns. In¬ dustry, commerce, and the machine arc grinding mau lo pulp. To think or act diifercntly from those about us is the most unpardonable ofcncc. Minorities arc regarded as abnormal and as subjects for pbychoanalysis, ridicule, suspicion and social ostracism. The Jew, if wc at all judge him right will hold out until the last. He is an expert at re¬ sistance, 'lie has so often seen the world and in travail and hullabaloo. Hcl- lenization, Christianization, Romaniza- tion all failed to absorb hira." Rabbi Brickner stated in his address that Rabbi Goldman has introduced a new humanism into Judaism. Congress¬ man Mooney who came to Cleveland from Washington in order to partici¬ pate iu thc tribute, declared that he would come five times as great a distance if Rabbi Goldman were coming back and that Rabbi Goldman's departure was a loss not only to the Jews 'but to all Cleveland. The following testimonial tribute to Kabbi Solomon Goldman from his friends and co-workers of the board of trustees of the Jewish Welfare Federa¬ tion was prcsente<l at the gathering by Mrs'. Sigtnund Herzog, president of the Federation: "We, the members of thc Board of Trustees of thc Jewish Welfare Feder¬ ation of Cleveland, view with real re¬ gret your decision to leave Cleveland, nnd the work to which you have so earnestly devoted yourself in this city for many years. Wc regard your leaving not only with a keen sense of the personal loss which wc ourselves shall feel but also with a deep consciousness o£ the very distinct loss which your absence will mean to our whole community. In our years of association, we have learned to appraise most highly the fine unselfish spirit with which you have given your time, your energies and all of your re¬ sources of mind and soul to every worth¬ while cause. Out of this association, there has grown a friendship and love that will long abide with us as an en¬ riching influence in the lives of all who have been privileged to share in it. We shall miss you in those counsels where your broad sjrmpathies and your under¬ standing of human nature have helped to direct the course of our work; where your sense of justice and fairness,have gained tlie respect and following of those who have sought your guidance. In this spirit we bid you God speed, and send with you our heartfelt wishes for your furtlier achievement of those liner things in life for which you have so courage¬ ously and zealously been striving.

NEW YORK.—Palestine today stands on the threshold of a new and enlarged economic development. This was tbe re¬ current note sounded Tuesday evening at a special meeting of thc Palestine Eco¬ nomic Corporation, held at the Hotel Astor. Called to lake inventory of what the corporation has accomplished in Pales¬ tine, the speakers of the evening de¬ scribed how file organization, tlirough an expenditure of $2,500,000 has penetrated every phase of Palestine industry, and indicated thc course whicli future de¬ velopment in Palestine in.iy follow. Addresses were delivered by Felix M. Warburg, Julius Simon, vice presidents of the toriioration, Dr. Cyrus Adler, Judge Julian W. Mack, Harry H. Vi- teles, general m.inager of the Central Dank of Co-operative Institutious, .ind Emanuel Mohl, general m.-inagcr of thc Mortgage and Credit Bank, tile financial af^encies through which the Palestine Economic Corporation functions in Pal¬ estine. All of the speakers, with tlic exception'of Judge Made, have recently returned from Palestine. Mr. Bernard FIcxner,, President of thc corporation, presided. Messages of greeting were received from Justice Louis T>. Brandeis and Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Lehm.in. There is peace in the country, the colonies and industries are thriving, un¬ employment is virtually non-existent, thc speakers declared. Promises of wider development arc held out by tbc com¬ pletion of the Rutenberg Electrification plant, which will supply cheap power, the development of the Haifa Bay H.ir- bor, thus opening np a direct route to Europe, and the exploitation of the Dead- Sea. Tbe Jews of America will be asked to subscribe -between $750,000 and -1il,OOO,O0O when thc corporation is fornie<l to exploit tlic Dead Sea conccf- sion granted to Moses Novomejsky, Jew¬ ish engineer and Major Tulloch, Judge Made indicated. Tt is of thc utmost importance thai Palestine should be organized on a busi¬ ness basis, Mr. Warburg asserted, Pal¬ estine does not want charity. The Jewish Agency will hring about an increased activity, Mr. Warburg in¬ dicated, "li tile Jewish Agency goes through, as I have no doubt it will," lie said, "the support to the Palestine Ecn-' iiomic Corporation will be considerable. It has invested much and it will invest more." He urged co-operation between existing organizations in various coun¬ tries so that there should be no conilict or competition. "There is hope and progress in Pal¬ estine, as well as the promise for good sound development. The people there do not want diarity any more tban the people in Neiv York. You must have patience. With patience, and confidence in your leaders, you will receive not only thc gratitude and ..the appreciation of the people in Palestine, hnt business divi¬ dends as well," Mr. Warburg declared. A review of his impressions of Pales¬ tine was presented by Dr. Adler. The reduction of unemployment from 10,000 to 850, one-half of whom are unem¬ ployable, being invalids, etc., is an indi¬ cation tlmt immigration is on a sound basis, he asserted. Thp accretion to the present population must be slow if de¬ velopment is to be sound. Tlic most important aspect of Pales¬ tine iipbuildinir, in Dr. Adicr's opinion, IS tbc acquisition of land. "Unless the Yishub .loquircs considerable land. It will have failed even if it succeeds. Tlie people on tlie land form thc backbone oi any country. Thc lot of the farmer ib a very bard one, he said, urging the formation of a Land Bank, with long Imn credits. He described thc impor¬ tance to Palestine of the Rutenberg Elcc- trilicalioii plant, in view of tlie fact that tlic country is without coal, without woud, and u-rtiiout tbc Mosul Pipe Line, wonld bave no oil. Tbc Haifa Bay Ihirhur is of paramount importance land will give impetus to exports, substitut- 1111,' the present long and expensive route by a direct access to Europe. "-More slionid be done for l\alestine," Dr. ,-\dlcr ursed. "But not by w.iy of diarity. The .=ooner thc whole project i-s put on ;i definite business basis, tbc bettor. The development of the coun¬ try should not be placed in the hamli of charity collectors but in that of ,busi ness lorporations, functioning not for profil, content with getting a small turn for tbeir investments, and putting all Ihc rest Irack into thc land." .-\ special statement on the Corpora¬ tion':, contribution to the Dead Sea con¬ cession was made by Bernard FIcxner llic corporation, wilh a total investment of flLVi.OOO, is the largest single sub- bcriln-r to thc Novomejsky concession, Mr. Flexticr said. Of this sum JbO.OOO I'was subscribed in 1921 and $75,000 re cently to make up thc $.130,000 necessary before the concession could be granted NovomeJ.sky, Judge Mack, invited to address tbe meeting hy the chairman, sLitcd that Ile wished to make a correction of a slight error. His group- has raised within a short time, in a quiet campaign, the amount ot approximately $280,000 need¬ ed to make up the sum required by tbe Brhish Colonial Office as condition prior to granting thc concession to Novomejsky and Tullocb. It was his group tbat Iwd asked the Palestine Economic Corpora¬ tion to increase its contribution towards Ihe project from $150,000 to {125,000 (111 a statement made to the "Jewish Daily Bulletin," by Jacob DcHaas, pub lishcd in the issue of May 24, Mr. De Haas gave the impression that "thc whole sum required ('almost one-balf a million dollars') w-as privately aubscribcd" through the efforts of thc opiiosition group. Mr. DeH.ias, in bis statement merely remarked that his group "inci¬ dentally enlisted the support of the Pal¬ esline Economic Corporation.") "Thc Dead .Sea concession offers a great op[>ortunity for Jewish labor and for increased immigration to Palestine," Judge Mack said. "While it is true that the European Jew would find it difficult to 'ork in the Dead Sea climate, there are thousands of sturdy, healthy Jews, accus¬ tomed to it, {larticularly the Yemenite Jews who want to come to Palestine who can and who wish to work there," he said.

He has resigned from thc Holy Blossom Synagogue of Toronto, Canada, in order to accept their invitation, and will leave Toronto for St. I-ouis thc first week in September. Thu Departure of Rnbbi Isserman The Toronto Daily Staar of June 4, one of tbe leading newspapers in Toronto, li<id thc following to say in its editorial columns ancnt Rabhi Lsserman's depar¬ ture : The young ra-bbi who came to thc Holy B'lossoin Synagogue in Toronto four years ago, Ferdinand Isserman, to become associated quickly with this city's social welfare activities, has accepted a call to thc Temple I-srael in St. Louis and will take up his duties there next SepteiT|ber. His departure will occasioil deep regret. Rabbi Isserman became successor to Kjibbi Brickner. who had won the re¬ spect of the entire community. When that change took place it was felt that this new rabhi, then only 28 years of age, would have a difficult task to main¬ tain the high standards established by his predecessor. Bnt the culture and breadth of spirit he brought to bear in this field of hibor enabled him to add prestige to the congregation to which he gave leadership. An appeal Rabbi Isserman never tired making was in behalf of brotherliness, which, too, was the' keynote sounded by tbc founder ol the Christian religion. The rabbi deprecated every assumption of racial or national superiority as some' thing oppo-sed to the unity, equality and brotherhood of humanity. He saw good in all the great religions and exalted thc virtue of tolerance. He looked upon military preparations as a violation of profession.!; of good-will. He has a keen civic energy. Any religious body would be pleased to Jrave as one of its leaders a man with thc graces of mind and heart that dis¬ tinguish Rabbi Isserman. Thc esteem in which the .still youthful rabbi is held' by the leaders of other churches is evi¬ denced by tlic fact that he has frequently been asked to preach at regular services of congregations of the United Church, the largest Protestant church in Canada. He preached in St. Paul's Westmoreland, St. David's and Prospect Park United Churches, Toronto, during thc last year, as well as in churches in Oshawa, Smitli*s Falls and Cornwall, He also has addressed numerous other churcli groups and the annual conference of the United Church in Regina. On June 10 he will preach a farewell sermon in Carl¬ ton Street United Church, when tribute will be paid to his services as a mem¬ ber of this community. James Waterman Wise is Coming Here Again James Waterman Wise of New York City will addrcs;; another mass meeting in this city under the auspices of the Ohio State University branch of the Avukah some time in October. This meeting is being arranged by Aaron M. Neustadt, a member of the National Executive Committee of the Avukah. As all Chronicle readers well know, Mr. Wise is the famous sou of a famous father. He is a brilliant writer and publicist as wel] as a unique orator. At thc present time he is the national execu¬ tive secretary of Avukah, student, Zion¬ ist Federation.

It's just a matter of opinion, but I think we would be a much better team with those two than with Baron and Dunleavy.
In fact, other than Caron Butler (and a few promising youngster, like Blatche or Hayes, who ain't doing anything yet), there ain't much talent in Washington. Imagine what they could do with a roster like ours...

Everyone is hooked on something.
It's not that easy to kick the money habit. After the world meltdown forces London's bankers to go cold turkey, people look elsewhere for a quick quid: the old fashioned East End.
So when investigator Catherine Berlin gets an anonymous tip-off about a local loan shark, the case seems straightforward – until her informant is found floating in the Limehouse Basin.
In another part of town, a notorious doctor is murdered in his surgery, and his entire stock of pharmaceutical heroin stolen. An unorthodox copper is assigned to the case, and Berlin finds herself a reluctant collaborator in a murder investigation.
Now Berlin has seven days to find out who killed her informant, why the police are hounding her and, most urgently of all, where to find a new – and legal – supply of the drug she can't survive without.

Occupational / Hand Therapy
Occupational therapy, "OT", is similar to physical therapy by definition, but different in concept. Both types of rehabilitation help people regain the skills and movement necessary for functioning independently, but the majority of occupational therapists treat hand-and upper-extremity injuries, neurological and neuromuscular injuries, conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis.
Occupational therapy focuses on critical activities of daily living such as bathing, eating, grooming, dressing, cooking driving, cleaning, and getting into and out of bed. In the outpatient setting, occupational therapists are much more likely to be found working with musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries and conditions of the upper extremity (arm).
Our occupational therapists receive specialized training in hand therapy and treat injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, DeQuervain's syndrome, fractures, tendon or nerve injuries and burns. Treating these types of injuries may involve an exercise program, splint fabrication, skills training, work modification and wound care management.
At the Northern Michigan Sports Medicine Centers, Rogers City Physical Therapy, Indian River Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine and Cheboygan Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, our occupational therapists specialize in the treatment of hand and upper-extremity injuries such as:
Repetitive motion injuries such as:
Neurological disorders such as:
Work Injury Rehab
What To Expect From Your Occupational Therapy Program
The goals of your occupational therapist are twofold:
Depending on your injury, your occupational therapy program will consist of different types of exercises and treatments. These may include, but are not limited to:
Every patient and the nature of his or her injury or condition is unique, therefore therapy treatment plans vary for each patient. Our therapists will tailor your rehabilitation according to your specific needs and abilities, as well as directives given by your physician.
Treatments such as electrical stimulation, heat, ultrasound, paraffin, and whirlpool help to alleviate pain and inflammation. Active treatments such as muscle re-education, strengthening, work simulation exercises, and daily living skills aid in restoring function.
Occupational therapy visits are prescribed by your doctor and authorized by your insurance or managed-care plan. Depending on your diagnosis, the duration of treatment may vary from several days to four-to-six weeks.
Your rate of recovery will depend upon several factors, including:
Recovery from an injury or painful and debilitating condition requires commitment to your therapy program. It is typical to feel better after a few visits to therapy and to think you do not need to complete your treatment plan, or that you can do it on your own at home. However, each and every visit is important to your recovery; strengthening and work simulation under the guidance of your therapist in the latter half of your treatment plan is just as critical as mobilization and range of motion in the beginning.
Recovery takes time, rest and patience. You and your therapist are partners in your rehabilitation. Here are a couple of tips to help you maximize the benefits of occupational therapy:
Follow your therapist's directions, but be careful not to "overdo it." Exceeding the amount of stretching or strengthening as recommended by your therapist may actually re-injure the joint, muscle or soft tissue. Let your therapist know if you are sore or in pain, either during or between visits. Good communication will enhance your rehabilitation and recovery process.
Preparing for Each Visit
Our therapists, in conjunction with your doctor, will determine how often you should come.
Occupational Therapy is a Master's program. Our Occupational Therapists have passed a national board certification test and must remain current with continuing education in order to maintain state registration.

EPA Sponsors Free Training on Energy Audits and Healthy Home Technologies for Contractors and Home Improvement Workers
Release Date: 11/16/2011
Contact Information: Donna Heron 215-814-5113 / firstname.lastname@example.com
PHILADELPHIA (November 16, 2011) - - Attention home improvement contractors and practitioners. "Health Opportunities in Energy Audits & Upgrades," a free, one-day training course sponsored by EPA will be held on Friday, November 18 at the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, in Charleston. The class is open to energy auditors, weatherization contractors, energy program managers, healthy homes practitioners, and other who work in the energy audit industry.
This course is taught by staff from the National Center for Healthy Housing, and is sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in collaboration with the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Southern Appalachian Labor School.
Healthy housing is receiving considerable attention from public health professionals and policy makers as a result of emerging scientific evidence that links health issues such as asthma, lead poisoning, and unintentional injuries to substandard housing. Attendees will learn strategies that merge healthy homes and energy efficiency work for a more combined home improvement approach. This "one-touch" method will better ensure that one repair does not leave behind a bigger problem unbeknownst to a contractor only trained in energy efficiency. In addition, this approach is more convenient for the home-owner or the tenant and is a more efficient use of public time and funds.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is located at 350 Capitol Street, in Charleston.
The class is scheduled from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. in conference rooms B-10 and B-11.
For additional information or to register, please contact Stephanie Mink at 304-356-4276 or email@example.com.

Trace the curved line between love and obsession in this steamy novel.
Sor Avraham is content with his structured life: He and his wife Jasmine have settled into a comfortable partnership in their house by the ocean in Florida. Sor finds fulfillment as an English professor at a local university, a job that allows him to focus some of his repressed passion. He's a model teacher, colleague and husband until a chance encounter with the mysterious and sensual Marguerite, a free-spirited artist and professor whose bohemian spirit has been temporarily tamed by marriage and two young boys. Marguerite and Sor quickly fall into a whirlwind affair, as Sor, who once exhibited precise control over his thoughts and emotions, is swept away on the tide of desire. The intense sexual encounters and lust-soaked emails fly between the two, disorienting Sor until he feels he has "lost his equilibrium.…He was no longer Sor Avraham." His marriage and job fall apart as his fixation with Marguerite consumes him—he becomes infatuated with the smell of jasmine, Marguerite's signature perfume. Then, as Marguerite slowly begins to draw away from Sor, eventually ending the affair, he recognizes himself as a man who has lost nearly everything. Aarons artfully portrays the demise of his lead character's control in the stable world he once inhabited. Vivid characters enliven a compelling story that reveals Sor's innermost thoughts and personal letters. The style and pacing of the narrative realistically parallel the timeline of Sor's affair, while rising to meet his transformation from a controlled, settled husband into an adulterous obsessive. Eventually, the intense love scenes dim as the narrative resettles for Sor to consider the contentment he abandoned.
A well-crafted tale of passion, loss and the dangers of obsession.

Clint Zimmer has flown helicopters for the Army for 25 years.
So when his daughter, Kylie, wanted to try her hand at flying as well, he took her to a new flight simulator in North Charleston.
After several weeks and lots of crashes and burns in the simulator, he took the 17-year-old up in a small airplane and told her he would help her land only if she got into trouble.
She didn't and landed the plane flawlessly, he said.
"I filmed it and she posted it online," Zimmer said.
Zimmer believes the flight simulator saved both him and his daughter countless hours of sitting in an unair-conditioned small plane trying to teach her how to fly.
As Mike McCurdy, one of the co-owners and flight instructor at CRAFT, or Charleston Regional Advanced Flight Training, pointed out, "You learn to fly on the simulator, and you practice in the plane."
McCurdy, a small craft pilot since 1991 and three business partners who are not pilots — Eric Bowman, Russell McCray and Doug Ross — came together just over a year ago to set up the flight training resource. McCurdy is also a former law enforcement officer of 26 years, including assistant police chief on the Isle of Palms, where he worked for 12 years.
"The thing about law enforcement is the higher you get into administration, the less you like it," he said with a chuckle.
So he left the career of chasing criminals.
He and his partners rented an 800-square-foot space from Atlantic Aviation at Charleston International Airport and installed an $85,000 simulator, one that pivots and turns with each movement of the yoke in a cockpit that resembles a single-engine Cessna 172.
"It's the only one of its kind in South Carolina," McCurdy said. "This is leading technology for aviation."
Through computer imaging and the click of a button, the simulator can take would-be pilots anywhere in the world. The terrain and some major structures of places around the globe appear on the screen that is the cockpit windshield.
With the push of a button, rain, snow, ice, fog, thunderstorms or any kind of weather can be added to the visual image, helping students learn to navigate through any inclement condition.
When a student has a question about something, McCurdy, or the student's own instructor, hits a pause button. The flight stops in midair and the question is answered before proceeding.
"The best tool we have is the pause button," he said.
The simulator, which costs $75 to $125 an hour to use, depending on one of four different types of simulated aircraft, can save aspiring small-plane pilots and those seeking extra training some money over conventional methods of learning to fly in an aircraft alone, McCurdy said. Lower-cost, 10- and 20-hour block rates also are available.
"If you want a pilot's license, you can do it the same way the Wright Brothers did and get into an airplane," he said. "That's a really expensive way to do it. Plus, an airplane is a terrible place to learn to fly."
McCurdy said flight students, who are concentrating on not crashing when learning to fly an actual plane, tend to hear about every 10 words from the instructor.
In the simulator, they can take their time, pause the action and ask their question without worrying about their safety.
"People still crash, but they do it in a simulator," he said. "They learn from their mistakes and do it over and over until they feel comfortable flying the plane."
The simulator takes students through all kinds of emergency situations, including losing power on takeoff, something that could never be replicated on purpose in an actual airplane because of the danger.
Aspiring pilots need at least 40 hours of instruction to be able to fly, according to FAA guidelines.
The national average of learning to fly encompasses 65 hours with an instructor and 10 hours of solo flights for a total cost of nearly $13,000, according to McCurdy.
Training through CRAFT with 10 hours in the simulator as well as flying in an actual airplane with an instructor 27.5 hours along with 10 hours of solo flights costs about $6,900, he said.
"The whole idea is to get people in and out as quickly and as cheaply as possible," McCurdy said. "If students integrate the flight simulator with lessons in the airplane, they could save nearly 50 percent in both time and money."

After a four-year hiatus, the HFStival, one of the largest rock festivals on the East Coast in the '90s and early 2000s, returned last September with a lineup of forgotten '90s alt-heroes such as Third Eye Blind, Lit and Everclear. The festival's return was a bigger deal than its time capsule of a concert, but this year's HFStival — with headliners the Avett Brothers and its focus on indie-rock over nostalgia — should put the focus back on the music. It's another step of bringing HFS, which returned to airwaves at 97.5 FM last month, back into the conversation of alternative-rock relevance in Maryland.
Besides the Avett Brothers and their brand of Carolina folk-rock, Flogging Molly, Dr. Dog and many other acts will take the festival's three stages. Which are worth checking out? We've picked five lesser-known acts that might make you a fan by day's end:
Diane Birch: This 28-year-old singer-songwriter and self-described "old soul" has a smoky voice beyond her years. She's been compared to Norah Jones, but there's a little more dirt under Birch's fingernails, and her piano-driven, confessional songs are better for it.
Lionize: If you ever wished there was reggae that connected with the darker corners of your mind, check out Lionize, a four-piece band that works for laid-back stoners and lightweights who get paranoid after one hit. Without warning, the band's laid-back vibe can come alive like chugging back-to-back Red Bulls.
Middle Distance Runner: Singer Stephen Kilroy's voice sounds a lot like Arcade Fire's Win Butler, which is a good thing, as there are worse frontmen to be compared to. The D.C. band works loud-to-soft dynamics with powerful results, and its intensity has been a calling card of its live shows.
Minus the Bear: It's the 10-year vets you may have heard of but never checked out. The Seattle five-piece band's sound has evolved from technical math-rock to stadium-ready heaviness, but the trademark, slippery guitar parts remain its most potent weapons.
Tennis System: This D.C. quartet builds its songs around its amplifiers, typically turned up to max. The songs are part-drone and part-shoegaze, but the melodies never suffer. Expect an onslaught of loud guitars.
If you go
The HFStival, featuring the Avett Brothers, Dr. Dog and many more, takes place Saturday at Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway in Columbia. Doors open at 10 a.m. Tickets are $35 and $50. Call 877-435-9849 or go to merriweathermusic.com.

I have an applet that works great on a local machine as a bunch of class
files. When I put it in a jar file, however, only some of the images in
the applet load up.
Is there something I can do (even in my HTML) to wait to run the applet
until the entire .jar file is downloaded (if this is my problem)?
I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I just wanted to take the moment to suggest other uses for Vinyl Dye and LEGO elements.
'Cause it isn't just about armor.
While the color palette is limited for Vinyl Dye, there are quite a few colors out there.
And the nature of Vinyl Dye is that it is absorbed, unlike spraypaint; it doesn't leave a layer of color. This is important, because no detail is lost when you dye an element. Even the 'LEGO' on the top of the stud would remain crystal clear.
Hair in colors that never existed - white male hair, or pony tails, or any other hairpiece in any dye color available. Yellow hair anyone?
Plumes in any dye color available - black plumes, tan plumes, green plumes... possibly even purple plumes.
Horse helms, either design - black, tan, brown, blue...
Any element can be Vinyl Dyed. Anyone else have an element in mind they'd like to see in a new color?
