What can we learn from the Komen Foundation polarization
Twitter 6x6 (Photo credit: Steve Woolf)
In the aftermath of the controversy surrounding the Susan B. Komen foundation decision and the reversal of the same decision, perhaps the best thing we can all do is learn from the situation. Regardless of the side you might be on, if you own a small business, you should be thinking about how to avoid these types of situations.
We all live in a time of increasing polarization concerning issues. When you combine this with the ability of almost everyone to speak with a loud voice via Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, and other social media platforms, you have a situation which is entirely new. In a matter of hours, the opinion of literally millions can be heard. And there is nothing you can do about that.
Now take that same combination to the local level. These days it is common to comment on local news sites, in fact it is encouraged. Any issue can get amplified to a higher level than desired. Some time back, a local restaurant owner found out the hard way when his not-too-polite comments were broadcast around the Des Moines metro for all to hear, over and over again.
If you own a business, you must take extra care not to cast your business into the light of polarizing issues. Sounds easy, but it isn't. Who decides what is polarizing? Everyone. Here are a few polarizing issues that may or may not surprise you:
- A restaurant has a pig roast in the parking lot.
- A hardware store fires an employee.
- A mechanic has a religious symbol on his wall.
- A veterinarian clinic has to euthanize an animal.
- A man walks into a shopping center carrying a gun.
- A woman enters a funeral visitation wearing a revealing dress.
Are these polarizing? The answer is yes, for a certain group of people. What will cause the loudest of outcries will most likely depend on your response to someone raising the issue as polarizing in the first place. Does the funeral parlor ask the woman to leave because others are complaining? Does the hardware store respond to an accusation of bias? How does any business person deal with this? The answer is complex, but here are some guidelines to consider.
- Be consistent in the way you manage and operate your business.
- Be polite to everyone. Everyone!
- Ask others that don't share your personal views for their opinion on how to respond to a sensitive issue. Have an issue raised by a gun owner? If you have time, ask a couple other gun owners you know and trust for their thoughts. You may learn more about where a perceived issued is coming from.
- Anticipate all potential outcomes so you know what you will do. Plan ahead. It is like playing chess. You have to play a few moves ahead to stay safe.
- If you think something you are going to do is going to polarize the community, ask yourself if your business can survive the impact. If not, you shouldn't do it.
- Do not over react to those who are not civil or respectful.
- Communicate clearly and consistently concerning the situation.
Lastly, don't lie. People have a much greater ability to sense when someone is lying that most people understand.

RapidShare Hires Big DC Lobbying Firm To Convince Politicians That The RIAA/MPAA Are Lying About It
from the world-we-live-in dept
The company also has been known to hit back at those who accuse of it of being complicit with copyright infringement, and its latest move is to try to counter all that lobbying by the RIAA and the MPAA by hiring the giant DC-based lobbying firm Dutko (which, admittedly, has been having its own problems lately.
Of course, just hiring a lobbying firm isn't likely to change things by itself. You can bet that the RIAA and MPAA are spending a hell of a lot more on lobbying against RapidShare. But it really is a sign of the times that a European company feels the need to hire lobbyists just to explain to US politicians that setting up web servers that host content is not automatically about copyright infringement.

Tech owns 29-13 edge in all-time series versus Redhawks
Click here to view game notes (PDF)
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech will look to rebound from a last-second loss at the hands of Jacksonville State Thursday night with a victory against Southeast Missouri on Saturday. The game is the back end of this week's two-game homestand and is set to tip off at 7:30 p.m. immediately following the women's game.
Against the Redhawks, who are 5-1 in the Ohio Valley Conference and sit in second in league play, Tech will be looking to stop a two-game skid. SEMO has won two consecutive games and six of its last seven. The Golden Eagles are 11-8 overall and 3-3 in OVC play and sit in sixth in the conference.
Tech's backcourt duo of Kevin Murphy and Jud Dillard continue to pull impressive rank in national statistical categories. Coming into Thursday's games, Murphy and Dillard made up the No. 2 scoring duo in NCAA Division I. After Thursday's contest, the pair is averaging a combined 37.4 points per game (Murphy at 19.0 and Dillard at 18.4).
Against Jacksonville State on Thursday, the Golden Eagles led by six with just more than six minutes left to play, but allowed JSU to get back in the game down the stretch. Tech held a 62-60 advantage with six seconds remaining, but Dion Waiters delivered a last-second layup that also drew a foul, tying the game. Waiters connected on the free-throw to give the Gamecocks a one-point advantage and the victory.
Saturday's game marks the 43rd meeting between Tech and Southeast Missouri, a series Tech has controlled. The Golden Eagles lead the all-time series with the Redhawks, 29-13, and will be looking for their second-straight win over SEMO. The two squads split the season series in 2010-11, with the Golden Eagles winning in Cape Girardeau and SEMO taking the victory at Eblen Center.
In the last meeting between the two teams, the Golden Eagles raced out to an early double-digit lead and never trailed in the game, fending off a late rally by the home team to claim a 93-86 victory. Zach Bailey was the spark for Tech, topping four Golden Eagles who scored in double figures in the high-scoring affair. Bailey went 11-for-12 at the free throw line on the way to netting 23 points.
Murphy leads Tech in scoring, averaging 19.0 points per game while Dillard is the OVC rebounding leader, pulling down 8.9 rebounds per game. Zac Swansey leads the OVC and the team in assists with 5.7 helpers per game while also leading the league and ranking ninth nationally in steals with 2.6 per contest.
Three SEMO players are scoring in double-figures this season, led by sophomore forward Tyler Stone, who averages 15.1 points per game and is also tied for the team lead in rebounding, pulling down 6.8 boards per contest. Junior guard Marland Smith contributes 12.0 points per game while senior forward Leon Powell is scoring 11.6 and also grabbing 6.8 rebounds per game.
SEMO's 5-1 start in league play is their best since opening the 1999-00 season 9-1. The Redhawks rank eighth nationally in field-goal percentage (49.8) and have shot better than 50 percent in every OVC game this season. The team is first in the OVC and 26th nationally in assists (16.1).
For ticket information for Saturday's game, call (931) 372-3940 or visit www.TTUSports.com. The game will be broadcast live on WCTE-TV around the Upper Cumberland region as well as over the airwaves on the Golden Eagle Sports Network, WHUB AM 1400 and on the Internet at www.1400TheHub.com. A live web stream is available at OVCSports.tv. Fans can also listen via Teamline by calling (216) 502-3200 and entering team code 0654. Cost is $5 per call.

edwardaux needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 417 designs submitted by 124 freelance designers.
BlackDog Foundry - http://www.blackdogfoundry.com
BlackDog Foundry is a small mobile application development startup that is about to be launched within the next few weeks.
We are a little different to most other mobile developers in that we don't normally build mobile applications - we build frameworks and services for other developers to use and build upon. For example, our first offering is the ability for developers to upload their databases to our server and we provide a library of code that they can embed within their application to ensure that the mobile phone devices have up-to-date data at all times. We have a number of new initiatives planned also.
Our backing company also owns and operates Voxalot (http://www.voxalot.com), which is a successful Voice over IP service. However, we are now also looking to broaden our horizons into the Mobile Application Development field.
Our team consists of three very experienced software developers (20+ years each), but we aren't some old fogeys stuck in a mainframe/COBOL world. We live and breathe new technology, and are constantly on the hunt for the next technology that is going to set the world on fire.
Mobile phone (iphone, android and symbian) developers, whether individual or development houses, are our primary market. The vast majority of our customers will be young, energetic, creative software developers.
We are definitely targeting the young, tech-savvy application entrepreneurs to build their applications upon our service.
While not our primary market, we also expect that there will also be larger businesses/corporates that would be wanting us to provide a white-label version of our service.
I'll be honest and say that our requirements are fairly open.
I definitely see a black dog of some sort in the logo. We chose the word Foundry as we believe it indicates that we are a place to go if you want stuff made. However, the phrase "Black Dog" is probably where the emphasis should be.
Unsure of the exact creative words but some terms that come to mind are:
- bold, fluid strokes
- offbeat
- edgy
- crisp
- stylised
- tongue-in-cheek
There was a recent contest on 99designs for Fish on Fire (http://99designs.com/contests/29511) that had many entries that I loved.
I definitely am not keen for:
- corporate
- fancy/frilly/lacy
I've no particular colour preferences. Our current website is a placeholder only (based on a free WordPress theme) and will be replaced once we get a logo.

I really like the 2-up style of this album because it fits on pretty much every shelf, where as the 3-up did not. I ordered extra pages since the album accommodates them nicely. I have recommended this to a friend who subsequently ordered her own.
I bought this album for Stacy Julian's Finding Photo Freedom Class at Big Picture Classes. These albums work great for storing photos and I like that it is a 3-ring binder so you can move the pages around to put like photos together. I also think the 2-up size is easier to handle than the 3-up size. Very happy with this album.

Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition in which a person has 47
Alternative Names
Trisomy 21
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In most cases, Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. This form of Down syndrome is called Trisomy 21. The extra chromosome causes problems with the way the body and brain develop.
Down syndrome is the most common single cause of human birth defects.
Down syndrome symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. However, children with Down syndrome have a widely recognized appearance.
The head may be smaller than normal and abnormally shaped. For example, the head may be round with a flat area on the back. The inner corner of the eyes may be rounded instead of pointed.
Common physical signs include:
Decreased muscle toneat birth
- Excess skin at the nape of the neck
- Flattened nose
- Separated joints between the bones of the skull (sutures)
- Single crease in the palm of the hand
- Small ears
- Small mouth
- Upward slanting eyes
- Wide, short hands with short fingers
- White spots on the colored part of the eye (Brushfield spots)
Physical development is often slower than normal. Most children with Down syndrome never reach their average adult height.
Children may also have delayed mental and social development. Common problems may include:
- Impulsive behavior
- Poor judgment
- Short attention span
- Slow learning
As children with Down syndrome grow and become aware of their limitations, they may also feel frustration and anger.
Many different medical conditions are seen in people with Down syndrome, including:
- Birth defects involving the heart, such as an
atrial septal defector ventricular septal defect Dementiamay be seen
- Eye problems, such as
cataracts(most children with Down syndrome need glasses)
- Early and massive vomiting, which may be a sign of a gastrointestinal blockage, such as
esophageal atresiaand duodenal atresia
- Hearing problems, probably caused by regular ear infections
- Hip problems and risk of
- Long-term (chronic)
constipationproblems Sleep apnea(because the mouth, throat, and airway are narrowed in children with Down syndrome)
- Teeth that appear later than normal and in a location that may cause problems with chewing
- Underactive thyroid (
Signs and tests
A doctor can often make an initial diagnosis of Down syndrome at birth based on how the baby looks. The doctor may hear a
A blood test can be done to check for the extra chromosome and confirm the diagnosis. See:
Other tests that may be done include:
Echocardiogramto check for heart defects (usually done soon after birth) ECG X-raysof the chest and gastrointestinal tract
Persons with Down syndrome need to be closely screened for certain medical conditions. They should have:
- Eye exam every year during infancy
- Hearing tests every 6 - 12 months, depending on age
- Dental exams every 6 months
- X-rays of the upper or cervical spine between ages 3 - 5 years
Pap smearsand pelvic exams beginning during puberty or by age 21
- Thyroid testing every 12 months
There is no specific treatment for Down syndrome. A child born with a gastrointestinal blockage may need major surgery immediately after birth. Certain heart defects may also require surgery.
When breast-feeding, the baby should be well supported and fully awake. The baby may have some leakage because of poor tongue control. However, many infants with Down syndrome can successfully breast-feed.
Obesity can become a problem for older children and adults. Getting plenty of activity and avoiding high-calorie foods are important. Before beginning sports activities, the child's neck and hips should be examined.
Behavioral training can help people with Down syndrome and their families deal with the frustration, anger, and compulsive behavior that often occur. Parents and caregivers should learn to help a person with Down syndrome deal with frustration. At the same time, it is important to encourage independence.
Adolescent females and women with Down syndrome are usually able to get pregnant. There is an increased risk of sexual abuse and other types of abuse in both males and females. It is important for those with Down syndrome to:
- Be taught about pregnancy and taking the proper precautions
- Learn to advocate for themselves in difficult situations
- Be in a safe environment
If the person has any heart defects or problems, check with the physician about the need for antibiotics to prevent heart infections called endocarditis.
Special education and training is offered in most communities for children with delays in mental development. Speech therapy may help improve language skills. Physical therapy may teach movement skills. Occupational therapy may help with feeding and performing tasks. Mental health care can help both parents and the child manage mood or behavior problems. Special educators are also often needed.
Support Groups
National Down Syndrome Society -
National Down Syndrome Congress --
Expectations (prognosis)
Persons with Down syndrome are living longer than ever before. Although many children have physical and mental limitations, they can live independent and productive lives well into adulthood.
About half of children with Down syndrome are born with heart problems, including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and endocardial cushion defects. Severe heart problems may lead to early death.
Persons with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain types of leukemia, which can also cause early death.
The level of mental retardation varies from patient to patient, but is usually moderate. Adults with Down syndrome have an increased risk for dementia.
- Airway blockage during sleep
- Compression injury of the spinal cord
Endocarditis Eye problems
- Frequent
ear infectionsand increased risk of other infections Hearing loss
- Heart problems
- Gastrointestinal blockage
- Weakness of the back bones at the top of the neck
Calling your health care provider
A health care provider should be consulted to determine if the child needs special education and training. It is important for the child to have regular check ups with his or her doctor.
Experts recommend genetic counseling for persons with a family history of Down syndrome who wish to have a baby.
A woman's risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases as she gets older. The risk is significantly higher among women age 35 and older.
Couples who already have a baby with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having another baby with the condition.

How long do you pump when you pump?
Even if you are holding at 6 ounces and she gets 6 ounces of formula a day when you are working - you don't have to be done nursing her. Because your body is making enough milk on the weekends for her and you can still nurse whenever your are together. I know that it's not ideal, but it's not an all or nothing thing.
I don't know anything about fenugreek, hopefully mommal will come back.

Denver Post editor enters No Spin Zone
This is a RUSH transcript from "The O'Reilly Factor," March 13, 2013. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
Watch "The O'Reilly Factor" weeknights at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET!
BILL O'REILLY: "Factor Followup" segment tonight. Last week, we criticized Speaker of the House, Mark Ferrandino, for not allowing the legislature out there to vote on Jessica's Law.
Jesse Watters confronted Ferrandino.
JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT: A 41-year-old soccer coach repeatedly raped a 13-year-old girl and only got two years in prison.
MARK FERRANDINO, SPEAKER, COLORADO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, (D): Specifically, I still do not know the specifics of the cases you're talking about. I'm happy to look at them if you can look at the cases.
And if we need to toughen the laws in Colorado, we should and we will. But --
WATTERS: Well, you do need to toughen the laws, with all due respect, sir.
O'REILLY: In describing Mr. Ferrandino to the national audience, I said he was openly gay, which he is, a fact that is noted in nearly every article written about him.
Apparently, that offended "The Denver Post" which editorialized on Sunday, quote, "It may not surprise you to learn that a fact-challenge bigoted line of attack came courtesy of a Fox News Channel talking head, specifically Bill O'Reilly."
"O'Reilly fear-mongering should offend all Coloradans. He was saying 'gay,' but what he wanted his listeners to hear was 'pervert-pedophile'," unquote.
Joining us now from the mile-high city is the man who wrote that, the editor of "The Denver Post" Editorial Page, Curtis Hubbard.
So, you've got a nerve calling me a homophobe. Number one, you can't back it up. Your editorial is libelous speculation. Is it not.
CURTIS HUBBARD, EDITOR, THE DENVER POST EDITORIAL PAGE: Let me correct you on a couple of things just to start. Number one, it's not an editorial. It's my column that appears each week, Sundays, so it's my opinion, not the opinion of the editorial board.
O'REILLY: All right. But you're the editorial page editor, correct.
HUBBARD: Correct.
O'REILLY: OK. Go ahead.
HUBBARD: So -- and I didn't call you a homophobe but what I did do was call in to question what Representative Ferrandino's sexuality had to do with his opposition to Jessica's Law, which was the point that you were making.
O'REILLY: OK. And why did I bring up that he was openly gay. What was the context of that description.
HUBBARD: You were trying to figure why he opposed Jessica's Law. And my question back to you is, what does his sexuality have to do with his opposition.
O'REILLY: Did you see the report. Did you see the report that we did. Did you see it on television.
HUBBARD: I did.
O'REILLY: Not read the transcript.
HUBBARD: I did.
O'REILLY: Did you see the report. OK, good.
HUBBARD: I saw it on television and to make --
O'REILLY: All right, so here -- I'm going to answer your question. I'm going to answer your question.
O'REILLY: I described Ferrandino to the audience because the audience doesn't know who the heck he is. And I did it in the context of what his priorities are.
His priorities are civil unions, all right, which you guys are going to have pretty soon out there, and legalizing marijuana, which you already have out there. And he's a gay marriage proponent, as you know.
So, I said, here are Ferrandino's priorities, here's what he spends his time on, all right.
And Jessica's Law, he doesn't want.
HUBBARD: But, Bill, you didn't introduce them as his priorities. And you can go back and look at the tape.
O'REILLY: I did absolutely. I said, this is what the guy is promoting.
HUBBARD: What the tape says is you asked your guest why he opposed Jessica's Law.
O'REILLY: Right.
HUBBARD: And then who used his sexuality and his support for gay marriage as rationale for why he would oppose Jessica's Law.
O'REILLY: Oh, no, I didn't. I didn't say anything at the time. I described --
HUBBARD: My point is that the two are not related.
O'REILLY: -- I described who he was, who he says he is, all right. And that's it. I made no correlation between him being, quote, unquote, "openly gay" and Jessica's Law.
And for you to say that I equated --
HUBBARD: That's not true --
O'REILLY: No, you're, you're -- now, you are not telling the truth.
HUBBARD: Your guest is the one who took your words and then said, "He's protecting somebody."
O'REILLY: Listen, he's protecting the trial lawyers. That's who he's protecting. So, you are ridiculous.
You're a ridiculous person, and a journalist? This is disgraceful. To say that I described him as a --
HUBBARD: I don't know that I'm a ridiculous person, Bill, --
O'REILLY: You are.
HUBBARD: -- because no one here, other than Representative Sablan (ph), no one in law enforcement, no one in the justice system in Colorado were supporting this bill. And the fact still remains --
O'REILLY: Yes, and why are they not supporting it.
HUBBARD: -- what does Representative Ferrandino's sexuality have to do with passage of Jessica's Law.
O'REILLY: OK. I already explained that to you. If you can't grasp it, I can't help you.
You saying that I described him as openly gay, which is true, equates to me calling him a pervert-pedophile is a disgrace. It's a disgrace in any column.
It's a smear. You're a smear merchant. That's what you do. You can't back it up. Now, do you support Jessica's Law --
HUBBARD: No, I can back it up.
O'REILLY: No, you can't. You can't back it up at all. If you could, you would have put in your vile, little column.
All you did was make this giant leap. That's your opinion, fine. And your opinion is your opinion. But you're a smear merchant.
That's a smear. That's what you do. Now, do you oppose Jessica's Law. Do you oppose it.
HUBBARD: Bill, I don't think the question here is whether or not I support it or oppose it.
O'REILLY: No, no, no. That's the question because that's what we are doing in Colorado. Do you, as the editorial page editor of "The Denver Post," --
HUBBARD: No, but what is my column about. My column was about --
O'REILLY: -- do you support Jessica's Law or not.
HUBBARD: It's a -- listen, I don't know enough about it to say whether or not --
O'REILLY: You don't know enough about it. So, you write a column about our reporting and you don't know about it.
HUBBARD: I didn't write about Jessica's Law, Bill. I wrote a column about your comments on his sexuality.
O'REILLY: Yes, his description.
HUBBARD: I said --
O'REILLY: I described him the way he describes himself.
HUBBARD: If you had simply said, democrats in Colorado oppose Jessica's Law, here's why, I probably never would have brought it up.
O'REILLY: Look --
HUBBARD: But the fact of the matter is that you used the sexuality to impugn his character --
O'REILLY: I didn't impugn his character at all.
HUBBARD: -- and to imply to your viewers that his sexuality --
O'REILLY: I'd said what his priorities are as speaker of the house.
HUBBARD: Yes.
O'REILLY: Look, I'm going to post this -- I'm going to post this on billoreilly.com, the whole thing, so people can see what a charlatan you are.
You can't win the argument. You don't know what you're talking about Jessica's Law.
You run the editorial page in the most powerful paper in the state, and you don't know anything. And all you can do is smear. That's all you can do.
HUBBARD: That's not true, Bill. As I pointed out earlier, Jessica's Law was --
O'REILLY: You don't know anything about Jessica's Law. This has been in play for five years out there.
HUBBARD: Here's what I do know about Jessica's Law.
O'REILLY: What.
HUBBARD: No one in law enforcement in Colorado --
O'REILLY: No one?
HUBBARD: -- supported it in 2007, --
O'REILLY: No one?
HUBBARD: -- 2009 or again this year.
HUBBARD: In fact, it's only brought up when the republicans are in the minority in Colorado. Not when they had the majority. It's been used against democrats as a wedge issue politically. There's --
O'REILLY: All right, but you don't know whether you support it or not. All you know is that no one, --
HUBBARD: I didn't know whether it does more --
O'REILLY: -- and believe me, I'll get law enforcement from Colorado on here and I'll make you look foolish on that statement. But you don't even know about it.
And you are the Editorial Director of "The Denver Post" and you don't know --
HUBBARD: I do know about it. What I don't know, Bill --
O'REILLY: Well, do you support it or not. Do you support it or not.
HUBBARD: You have to ask me which version I'm supporting.
O'REILLY: Which version.
HUBBARD: I'm supporting the 2007 version that included the 15-year --
O'REILLY: No, the mandatory 25 to life for rapist, child rapist.
HUBBARD: This year's -- I think that we have seen in our judicial system that mandatory sentencing oftentimes has unintended consequences. Colorado is --
O'REILLY: All right, so you don't support it.
HUBBARD: Colorado has strong sex offender laws. I don't see any reason to change --
O'REILLY: I've got a dozen, I've got a dozen child rapists doing less than five years in your state, Mr. Hubbard.
HUBBARD: And they're on lifetime --
O'REILLY: You need to do a little research about it.
HUBBARD: -- probation, which is something unique to Colorado --
O'REILLY: Lifetime probation, ooh. Lifetime probation for rape.
HUBBARD: Lifetime probation which means --
O'REILLY: You know, if you had a kid and somebody raped that kid and they got lifetime probation, you'd probably be out there with a gun, Mr. Hubbard.
HUBBARD: That's in addition to their prison sentences, Bill. And if they violate any of the terms of that probation, they go to prison.
O'REILLY: Yes, the two or three years that they got -- the two or three years that they got, that's good. The soccer coach that raped the kid and got --
HUBBARD: There are 2,000 people imprisoned in Colorado.
O'REILLY: All right. I'm just going to say it. You need to look up Delbert Wallace Stewart.
You need to find out what that man did, what a Colorado judge gave him, and then you need to come back on the show and tell me you don't need Jessica's Law. All right, Mr. Hubbard, fair enough.
HUBBARD: I can tell you, I know about that care. Sure, I'm happy to come back and discuss it with you anytime, Bill.
O'REILLY: All right, very good.

Holiday Gift Guide: 15 Small Luxuries for Home Cooks
Pound cake with real vanilla beans, fondue drizzled with truffle oil, a pasta with slivers of Parma ham...It's such a treat to get to cook with the real deal, isn't it? This year why not give your favorite cook a few of these small luxuries - and ask for one or two yourself!
So many of these treats are too expensive and rare for everyday cooking, but they make great gifts for someone who you know will appreciate them! Most of these kinds of products can be found at gourmet food stores, local co-ops and farmer's markets, or in a quick search online.
Top Row:
1. Fleur de Sel - This flaky, crunchy salt is great for sprinkling on top of dishes right before serving. It adds the perfect gourmet touch. (Image: Emma Christensen)
2. Saffron - This is one of the most expensive spices in the world. Cooking with it is definitely a rare treat. (Image: iGourmet)
3. Flavored Extracts - It's so much fun to play around with flavored oils and extracts, especially with candy-making. We usually limit ourselves to practical flavors like vanilla and almond, but check out the selection at King Arthur Flour! (Image: King Arthur Flour)
4. Artisan Honey - Check out your farmer's market for locally produced honey. It's so very different than what you buy in the store! (Image: Emma Christensen)
5. Cured Meats - Some fine prosciutto or a few sausages like these from Gene's Sausage Shop would be an unexpected and very welcome gift to someone who loves cured meats. Be sure to label this package "Open Immediately"! (Image: Joanna Miller)
Middle Row:
6. Artisan Chocolates - Whether you like to cook with it or nibble it next to the fire, artisan chocolates are a fun luxury to enjoy. Taza Chocolates were our biggest find this year. (Image: Emma Christensen)
7. Vanilla Beans - Real vanilla beans are like culinary gold. Your favorite baker will thank you! (Image: Vanilla Importers)
8. Artisan Jams and Jellies - Trying someone else's homemade jam is always a treat, especially if it's brought from somewhere else in the country. (Image: Flickr member di_the_huntress licensed under Creative Commons)
9. Truffle Oil - Even for a holiday present, we don't think we could afford real truffles, but we can certainly give the next best thing! (Image: iGourmet)
10. Craft Beers - Beer lovers always appreciate a new brew to try! Look for local or unusual beers that your friend may not have seen before. (Image: Emma Christensen)
Bottom Row:
11. Extra-Virgin Olive Oil - It's hard to justify special olive oil just for drizzling on top of salads or dipping our bread sticks into. But when it's a gift, no such justification is needed! (Image: Gregory Han)
12. Marcona Almonds - You can't imagine how good these almonds are until you try them! The rosemary marcona almonds from Trader Joe's would make a great stocking stuffer. (Image: Flickr member SauceSupreme licensed under Creative Commons)
13. Artisan Pickles - This is another one of those products that our practical selves tell us we don't need...but secretly we want a whole bottle to ourselves. You can't go wrong with Rick's Picks. (Image: Rick's Picks)
14. Really Good Liquor - For both baking and cocktails, the top shelf stuff can't be beat. (Images: Nora Maynard and St. Germain)
15. Artisan Cheeses - Getting to try a whole spread of artisan cheeses at one time is definitely a luxury! A cheese store like Formaggio Kitchen in Boston and New York has a huge selection to choose from and knowledgeable staff to help you pick out a few special ones. (Image: Formaggio Kitchen)
What other small food luxuries would you like to give or receive this year?

TRIPOLI, Libya, July 7 (UPI) -- Libyans went to the polls Saturday to vote in the African country's first general election in 60 years, officials said.
Voters are electing candidates for a 200-seat national assembly, which will form a temporary government and draft a constitution, Voice of America reported.
The assembly will choose a cabinet and prime minister, and full parliamentary elections are to be held next year.
The election comes less than nine months after the end of the revolution that led to dictator Moammar Gadhafi's ouster and eventually his death.
The Tripoli Post reported some violence in the eastern part of the country and said an official of the Electoral Commission, Abdullah Al-Barassi, 22, was killed when the helicopter he was in was targeted by small arms fire east of Benghazi. VOA said the motive for the attack remained unclear.
Also in the east, supporters of autonomy called for a boycott of the elections and threatened to sabotage polling. A polling station in Benghazi was attacked by pro-autonomy activists, who seized electoral papers and ballot boxes, and ballot papers were set on fire at an election office in Ajdabiya, the BBC said.
The British broadcaster said many people in eastern Libya worry the area, rich in oil, will be under-represented in the assembly.
Some former rebels had threatened to disrupt the vote by targeting the oil industry.
Former rebels have shut down up to five oil terminals, the BBC said, reducing Libya's ability to export oil.

Presidential candidate James Carney has declared that he is "expecting to be given a campaigning ban in the near future" following a breach of YUSU election rules.
On February 22nd at 16:00 an email was sent to over 400 individual addresses on the Goodricke JCRC mailing list. The email contained overt endorsement of James Carney's bid, declaring "vote for James Carney" and outlining of his main policies.
The person responsible for sending the email is currently unknown. In an email, sent by Carney to Nouse, he stated: "The email was not sent out by any members of my campaign team and I certainly knew nothing about it."
An email was sent out immediately after by the Returning Officer for the elections apologising to those who had received the email.
Despite declaring he was not responsible for the email itself, Carney stated: "When we nominate ourselves for the elections, we agree that we are responsible for the actions of those acting on our behalf." He went on to add he is therefore expecting to receive a campaign ban.
Carney expressed his disappointment with what had happened, emphasising how it is particularly damaging given his pledge to run fairer elections.
Carney also stated that it is likely the email was sent as a result of "a breach of trust within the Goodricke College JCRC or an incident of incompetency, leaving the information freely available."
One Goodricke student stated: "All the students that received the email and don't acknowledge it was a clear violation may vote for him anyway because they don't know who else to vote for. A friend of mine also suggests it's only made Carney more popular because now everyone in Goodricke is talking about him and even though he broke the rules people want to vote for someone a little bit different."
Emily Niamh Miller, Goodricke JCRC Chair, commented on the incident: "[The] Goodricke JCRC use a variety of tools, including Facebook and mailing lists, to keep Goodricke students informed about all the activities and campaigns being run by our Committee. I'm very disappointed that someone has taken it upon themselves to abuse these facilities for their own ends, and I'd like to apologise once more to all the Goodricke students who received the messages in question.
"We are very careful about who has access to our mailing lists, and as soon as the abuse was reported, we restricted access even further to prevent any further problems. YUSU and the University are investigating the incidents, and as soon as they inform us of who was responsible, we can decide what action to take."
A formal apology was posted by Goodricke College on its Facebook page following the incident: "We are at present investigating how unauthorised access to our account has been gained".
The post went on to state: "Please do not feel pressurised into voting for any particular YUSU candidate as a result of this communication."
The issue calls in to question the safety and privacy of those on the Goodricke JCRC mailing list.
UPDATE: Carney has been issued with an online campaigning ban from midnight on the 27th February to the end of the voting period on Thursday 1st March.
Speaking to Nouse, Carney explained that he had received an email from Carys Jones, Deputy Returning Officer.
The email stipulated that Carney, or anybody on his behalf, will not be permitted to campaign, "by any online means" from midnight on Monday 27th February, to "the end of the voting period".
Entailed in the online ban is, "the removal of all social media campaigning sites and accounts including Facebook, Twitter and any mailing lists gathered". It also imposes a ban on the sending of "any electronic messages by James or his team".
Carney has since described the ban as "very harsh" and "highly disappointing".
It is particularly damaging given Carney's dependency on online campaigning and his intention to not create "an intrusive presence on campus".

Collecting Call History Logs
From DocWiki
Collecting Call History Logs
Cisco ER maintains extensive call history logs, which include entries for each emergency call handled. You can view call history information from the administration and user interfaces.
Cisco ER maintains in its database a history of the emergency calls that have been placed. When the primary Cisco ER server (Publisher) is not active, emergency calls are handled by the backup Cisco ER server (Subscriber). Through replication, the call history records on both these servers are synchronized when they are active. For this reason, the call history can be viewed on either of the Cisco ER servers.

Globalization is transforming the way lawyers think and work. To be a successful lawyer today, you'll need to broaden your horizons, no matter where in the world you practice. That's one of the ways earning a Master of Laws degree (LLM) can work to your advantage. An LLM degree gives you the opportunity to acquire practical, specialized, legal knowledge that will make you more competitive in a tough job market.
Through LLM coursework, you'll gain in-depth exposure to a particular area of law that will give you an edge, whether you're a new attorney starting out or an experienced attorney looking to make a career change.
For foreign lawyers, the Suffolk Law School LLM degree offers an opportunity to study US legal system at a school known for producing excellent lawyers.
Suffolk Law's new joint JD/Tax LLM offers current law students the opportunity to earn a JD and LLM in Taxation in the same amount of time as a JD. The LLM in Tax also is offered as a stand-alonedegree program for foreign lawyers, law students at other U.S. law schools, and law school graduates.
At Suffolk Law, the focus is very practical. You'll learn not just the law, but also how to solve problems and sharpen your writing and advocacy skills. You'll be studying at a law school with nationally ranked programs in experiential specialties, such as legal writing and clinical training. Outside the classroom, you can test your skills by completing an internship for credit, either in the greater Boston area or internationally.

A "Chingasm" is the extremely fast movement of the chin and/or throat area. Although the causes of chingasms are unclear, it is now confirmed that a loose jaw bone could be the source of a chingasm. A chingasm is mildly painful and attained through an outragous amount of laughter. Chingasms have a semi-fatigueing affect on an individual, leaving them breathless and possibly tired after the climax of the chingasm. If an individual attempts to talk during a chingasm, the words will come out separated, and nearly illegible. It has also been proven that during a chingasm, the chin/throat is moving at such a velocity that low resolution videocameras are not able to capture it.
Alex: "Man, Kaitie had such a hardcore chingasm at lunch today."
David: "Yeah, she has those like every day."

Further details TBC
Weekend Event Prices
Provisionally, prices for all weekend events will be £45, going up to £50 the month before and £55 on the gate.
Brand new players get £10 off or 6 boons, and bringing a new player (who has paid in full) gets you £5 off an event. If you bring a brand new monster, you'll get 3 boons instead.
Up to £10 of boons can be used (so 4 boons) to get money off the event.
Under 18s and full time students can get a further £5 off, or 3 boons.
Those fulfilling certain roles in the club get £5 off (living at Dunlarpin, kit, refs), or 3 boons.
If you book for (and pay) more than one weekend event at the same time, you will get a further £10 off the total you pay for each additional event you book at the same time, or 3 boons for each additional event.
So if you paid for all 3 weekend events before December, you would pay 3 x £45 = £135 - £20 = £115. Which is quite nice. Plus any other discounts and boons. So if you paid the maximum boons, were under 18 or a student, and performed a specific role in the club you could actually get all the events in a year for £55. Pretty awesome. Or you could get a load of boons.
There are a maximum of 16 player spaces on each event, and this is unlikely to increase unless monster numbers become awesome. To secure your space you need to pay a deposit of £10. Deposits are not refundable. If you are the 17th person to pay your deposit, you wont get a space, though you can go on a reserve list in case someone drops out.
Monsters will be paid 9 boons an event. This will increase the more you monster. So the first weekend event a year will get you 9 boons, the second will get 12, and the third 15. So monstering all 3 weekend events will get you a whopping 36 boons. Monsters who bring new players will get their discount transferred to the next time they play, or they can take 3 boons instead.
refs will get double the boon reward that monsters get for running the event. Each event will have 2 referees.
Saga Price
This is £400, with up to £100 able to be paid in boons (40 boons). The price will increase to £450 if paid after December 31st 2015, and will increase to £500 the month before the event starts (3rd of June 2015). On the event will be £550.
Brand new players get £50 off, or 25 boons, and bringing a new player (who has paid in full) gets you £25 off or 15 boons. Bringing a new monster earns you 15 boons.
Students or under 18's get £25 off, or 15 boons.
Persons with specific roles in the club get £25 off, or 15 boons.
Monsters will get paid 30 boons for Saga, plus 3 for every other event they monster throughout the year. refs get double this. It will cost £25 to monster.
There is an absolute maximum of 16 players. This isn't because I don't want more players, it's because there are usually only 16 beds at the sites we use! Likewise crew is limited.
I can virtually guarantee that the price for 2016 will be the same or lower, as I have located a great site that is much cheaper than Perth Y Pia
Night of the Nearly Living Dead 2015 Price
£35 before December 2014, £40 in December, £45 on the day. Maximum of £10 can be paid in boons.
The same discounts apply as for events, except the multiple booking discount. Maximum player spaces 16 and £10 deposit secures your place.
Monsters get 6 boons, refs double that.
Please speak up ASAP if there are any issues with these.

Obituary published Dec. 31, 2012 in The Mexico Ledger
William "Francis" Walker, 93, of Mexico, died at 11:58 a.m., Sunday, December 30, 2012 at the Missouri Veterans Home in Mexico.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Thursday, Jan. 3rd at First Baptist Church in Mexico with Dr. Jeff Brown and Rev. Ben Schnipper officiating. Visitation will be Wednesday from 5 until 7 p.m. at Pickering Funeral Home. Burial with Military Honors will be in East Lawn Memorial Park.
Mr. Walker was born Oct. 1, 1919, a son of William Presley and Mary Magdelene (Kesler) Walker. On Aug. 31, 1962, in Columbia, he married Linda Fay Steuber. Mrs. Walker survives.
William was a graduate of Mexico High School where he played clarinet in the band. In 1951 he received a diploma from International Correspon-dence School in surveying and mapping. He also loved sports. In high school he played football, basketball and ran track. He placed second at state in hurdles. He also played baseball on several Mexico teams and even tried out for the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Team but he decided to enlist in the service instead of playing baseball, he raced hydroplane boats, was an avid golfer and bowler and had played on the Kaiser Refractories Leagues. He was city champion in golf once. In his lifetime he scored two hole in ones. He also enjoyed fishing. He and Linda spent winters in Cape Canaveral, Florida from 1981 until 2000.
He was a veteran serving during World War II in the Merchant Marines and Navy.
Mr. Walker worked for A.P. Green for 15 years and then for Kaiser Refractories for 29 years. He retired in 1981. He had also been the co-owner and was operator of the "Mexico Roller Rink".
He is a lifetime member of VFW. He also had been a leader with 4-H, served on the Highway R-3 School Board as Treasurer, and he was a member of First Baptist Church since 1939.
In addition to his wife Linda, survivors include 2 sons, Kevin Walker and wife Nancy, Portland, Ore., and Wayne Walker and wife Phyllis, Mexico; 4 daughters, Marcia Antonides and husband Jim, Peculiar, Mo., Pattie Miller and husband Paul, Jerico Springs, Mo., Becky Schafer and husband Noel, Martinsburg, and Mary Jo Oakes, Waynesville; 13 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren, Nephews, John L. Steuber, Columbia, Shawn R. Steuber, Mexico, Eric L. Steuber, Columbia, and William Chorice, Blue Springs.
He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother, Harrison K. Walker; one grandson, Joshua R. Oakes; one nephew, Matt Chorice; and one niece, Diane Walker.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be given to Missouri Veterans Home, First Baptist Church, or to Alzheimer's Association. They may be sent in care of Pickering Funeral Home, 403 N. Western, Mexico, MO 65265.

CALS Honors Programs
Distinguished Undergraduate Research (DUR) College Honors Program
The CALS Academic Awards Committee promotes and encourages independent research by recognizing those students who especially excel in their creative, innovative, responsible, and independent pursuit of research. DUR Committee Guidelines for student projects may be obtained in the Student Services office in Morrill Hall or they are available on the CALS web page .
Independent research can be an important aspect of a student's education. Scientific research, independent projects, and internships or field practice are examples of independent research which benefit students as they pursue graduate study or seek employment. Over the years a number of undergraduate research projects have been published in well-known scientific journals; and manuals, videotapes, and other products of special projects have been incorporated into classes to enhance the learning environment in the College.
The completed research, in a form appropriate to the discipline, is evaluated first by a departmental review committee. Independent research of the highest quality will be chosen for College Honors by the Academic Awards Committee. Students are recognized at the CALS Honors Day.
Honors Program
The CALS Honors Program is a four-year honors sequence for CALS students who are accepted into the University Honors College. It is designed for highly qualified and motivated students desiring an academically challenging undergraduate experience in the broad areas of the life sciences and agriculture.
In their first two years, honors scholars will join honors students from across the university in small, interdisciplinary, honors seminars conducted by renowned scholars from the University of Vermont and other institutions. In their junior and senior years, honors scholars do honors work within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The program culminates with an honors thesis, an opportunity to conduct independent scholarly research under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
Entering first-year students with outstanding academic records will be invited to participate in the Honors College. Scholars will be required to maintain a minimum grade point average, participate in program activities, enroll in honors classes and successfully complete a Senior Honors Thesis.
Students in CALS who demonstrate academic excellence during their first year may apply for sophomore admission to the Honors College.
