The popular Cornbelt Cow-Calf Conference has provided timely, accurate and important information to the state's beef cattle industry for more than 40 years. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist Patrick Wall said this year's conference, set for Jan. 18 at the Bridge View Center in Ottumwa, Iowa will continue that successful tradition. "The Cornbelt Cow-Calf Conference has been, and will continue to be, successful because it provides information on current topics relevant to cow-calf producers in Iowa," Wall said. "The steering committee has put together a program of industry experts that can help producers grow the Iowa beef herd responsibly and profitably." The 2014 program targets topics designed to help producers of all ages and production goals. From genetic selection for profit to cover crop options and heifer development, professionals from universities and private industry as well as cow-calf producers in the Midwest will lead these sessions and offer attendees valuable information to put into practice on their farms. "We have three keynote speakers -- internationally recognized speaker and author Dave Robison of Indiana; Lee Leachman, manager of Leachman Cattle of Colorado; and Brian Heudepohl of Williamsburg Veterinary Clinic," Wall said. "Robison will talk about profit potential of cover crops. Leachman will share expertise on blending composite breeds and explain his $Profit index. And Heudepohl will explain his heifer development program and successful health protocols to help producers expand their operations." Afternoon break-out sessions include a panel discussion with individual focus on baleage harvesting, storage and cow economics, featuring Jeremy Erdmann, senior design engineer for John Deere's Hay and Forage Platform, Dave Robison of Legacy Seeds, Inc., and Patrick Gunn, ISU Extension cow-calf specialist. A risk management discussion includes Ryan Drollette, ISU Extension farm management specialist, and Tony Latcham of Son Risk Management. Wall will target cow-share agreements for beginning or young farmers, and Iowa Angus breeder Jim Werner also will be an afternoon producer speaker. The 2014 conference at the Bridge View Center in Ottumwa begins with registration at 8 a.m. The official welcome is at 9:30 a.m., followed by two general session speakers, lunch and exhibit viewing. The afternoon begins with a general session speaker in the auditorium, followed by two break-out sessions with four choices. Admission is $15, which includes lunch and a copy of the conference proceedings. No preregistration is necessary. The Iowa Beef Center was established in 1996 with the goal of supporting the growth and vitality of the state's beef cattle industry. It comprises faculty and staff from Iowa State Extension and Outreach, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and College of Veterinary Medicine, and works to develop and deliver the latest research-based information regarding the beef cattle industry.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama called California Attorney General Kamala Harris Thursday night to apologize for calling her "by far the best-looking attorney general in the country" during a fundraising trip, White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
"They are old friends, and good friends, and he did not in any way want to diminish the attorney general's accomplishments and capabilities," Carney said.
Commentators from both sides of the aisle had objected to Obama's statement, which came during his remarks at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser on Thursday in Atherton, California.
At the fundraiser, Obama referred to Harris as "brilliant," "dedicated," "tough," and "exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law" before referring to her appearance.
Carney said Obama apologized for creating the distraction.
"He fully recognizes the challenges women continue to face in the workplace, and that they should not be judged based on appearance," Carney said.
Harris recently gained prominence due to her role in orchestrating a $25 billion settlement between states and banks over illegal shortcuts in foreclosures. Carney said Obama believes Harris did an "excellent job" on the issue.

Aim High St. Louis
For 20 years, Alec Lee '80 has been bringing his brand of magic to high school students in underserved populations. Perhaps it is a different kind of power—one bred at Bowdoin—that keeps bringing others into the Aim High fold.
There are parts of San Francisco where the tour guides won't go and the cable cars don't run, where even a taxi is hard to find. The poverty is intense, and the crime is brutal. In neighborhoods ruled by gangs, children consider what colored clothes to wear so they don't imply allegiance to the wrong thugs whose streets they travel to and from school. Even families with the best intentions find it hard to be hopeful for their children.
But there is magic there, too. Each summer, hundreds of middle-school kids, many from the city's roughest public schools, attend Aim High, a tuition-free summer school program co-founded 20 years ago by Alec Lee Jr. '80.
Based on the model of Upward Bound, Aim High takes disadvantaged students who have academic potential but few prospects, and inspires them to trust themselves and to love learning. The program offers counseling to them and their families when it comes time to apply to high school and college. (Students in the San Francisco's public school system must apply to enroll in the school of their choice, even elementary school.) Their success is remarkable: 95 percent of Aim High graduates complete high school—in a city where the overall graduation rate is just 60 percent—and 90 percent enroll in college.
For the first 17 years, Aim High was largely a one-man operation. As the program grew, Lee surrounded himself with a cadre of dedicated and like-minded co-workers and board members. Somehow—depending on whether you believe more in coincidence or kismet—several other Bowdoin alums have found their way to Aim High: Laura Foulke '91, director of development; Suzanne Alpert '92, a former Aim High teacher and site director; and Ed Poole '82, an attorney who serves on the board of directors. And at least one Aim High graduate, Haliday Douglas '05, ended up enrolling at Bowdoin and now works for Aim High, completing the circle. All of them say they knew nothing about the Bowdoin connection until after they had signed on with Aim High.
The common thread is no mystery to Poole, who joined the board of Aim High in 2001. Several years earlier, Poole had attended an Aim High open house after a family foundation run by Leslie Tang Schilling, the wife of Poole's Bowdoin classmate Andy Schilling, made a major donation to the summer program.
"I was impressed by the fact that they were providing an intensive educational program in the summer that truly inspires the kids to stay in school," Poole said. "These kids learn to love the teaching profession, so they come back to Aim High as mentors.
"In that model, I see Bowdoin's commitment to producing teachers," he said. "When I was at Bowdoin, there was a real emphasis on giving back to the community. My interest in serving on a board for education is directly related to Bowdoin. To me, there's a nice, clear line between what Bowdoin does and what Alec does."
Foulke agrees. "We are somehow like-minded, and interested in the same things," she said. "We want to give back. We're drawn to this work in some way.
"My desire to be a part of something bigger than myself was a huge part of Bowdoin," Foulke said. "I had incredible relationships with professors, and I really took advantage of that. It was very powerful, and gave me a love of teaching and learning. I remember coming out of classes at Bowdoin with my heart racing because I was so revved up about it."
Students say they feel the same way about their days at Aim High. You'd think it would hard to convince kids to get up early on a sparkling summer morning and take an hour-long bus ride to summer school, but Aim High students look forward to it all year.
"School kind of dragged on, but Aim High blew by fast," said Carlos Carranza, a freshman at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who attended Aim High for two summers, and taught there when he was in high school. "I was working my brain in different ways, not staring at a chalkboard. It let me open my mind and took me out of my comfort zone.
"It was my mom's idea to go, to keep my mind flowing over the summer," he said. "You're always learning, so why stop in the summer?"
The son of Guatemalan immigrants, Carlos is the first person in his family to go to college. Now he's maintaining a 3.0 grade point average and considering a career in biological engineering.
"I like the balance between science and technology and computers," he said. "That's the future."
The teachers at Aim High get the same energy from the program as the students. Alpert has been teaching science at a private high school for 14 years. She started teaching at Aim High in 1997.
"I was looking for something to do over the summer that was enriching and meaningful," she said. "I've heard teachers say that they live summer to summer because working at Aim High is so rewarding."
Lee found his own inspiration in the classes of associate history Prof. John Karl, who retired from Bowdoin in 1997. After earning a master's degree in education from Harvard, Lee followed his future wife back to her hometown of San Francisco and began teaching history at Lick-Wilmerding, a private college-preparatory high school.
In 1986, Lee and a fellow teacher won a two-year grant to develop a summer program for middle school students based on the "small school" model. Lee had worked for Upward Bound in Michigan for four years with Ben Snyder '80, his closest friend at Bowdoin. He saw the difference a program like that can make in the life of a high school student, but Lee wanted to reach even younger kids.
"There is a ton of research showing that middle school is a critical juncture in kids' lives, especially urban kids," he said. "The pressure with urban poverty is so intense, and they are so impressionable at that time. The shift from fifth grade to sixth grade, from a small intimate place to a big middle school, is jarring, and it's exacerbated by urban poverty."
Lee, who was named the 1998 Distinguished Bowdoin Educator by the Bowdoin College Alumni Association, kept applying for more grants and raising more money to keep Aim High alive. He continued to teach as Aim High grew, leaving to run the non-profit full time only five years ago. After serving 5,000 students, the program continues to grow each year, but the philosophy and structure remain largely the same as he originally envisioned it. Students are selected based on need; preference is given to students in under-served areas and those who will represent the first generation in their family to attend college.
Each summer, 200 teachers from public and private schools in the Bay Area, college interns and Aim High graduates who are still in high school come for a week of training at one of the nine Aim High sites, that are either rented or borrowed free of charge from public and private schools. The professional teachers serve as "master teachers" and mentors to their college- and high-school-age assistants, most of whom are Aim High graduates.
At the beginning, Aim High hired only master teachers and high school interns, but the program grew almost as soon as it opened, and they could not afford to hire enough additional master teachers. They turned to college interns, and became more deliberate about the goal of teacher training.
"It became a teaching laboratory," Lee said. "Master teachers get the chance to mentor, to show that teaching is a craft."
For the next five weeks, they teach from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., one master teacher and at least one assistant for each class of 15 students.
"It's the quintessential small-school model," Lee explained. "It's project-based learning with small classes and a curriculum that is engaging and culturally relevant."
"A lot of these kids come from large classrooms," Alpert said. "It's hard to feel like you're a contributing member of a classroom if you're in with 34 other kids."
"Every child is known and loved," a teaching intern said in a documentary about Aim High. "They want to be here because they have a voice, sometimes for the first time. We only have five weeks, but we pull miracles out of the sky."
Each day begins with a rousing assembly, and includes a class called "Issues and Choices," which gives the students a safe forum to talk about the issues that are important to them.
The curriculum for each session is based on a different theme for each grade. One summer, the ninth-graders might explore the theme of "neighborhoods," for example, and everything from math to social sciences to writing will relate to that theme. They might do an oral history project interviewing people from their neighborhood, and create a science invention that would benefit the community.
And that's just the classroom part.
The program also contains a strong environmental education component, which can be the most challenging part of the summer for kids who have never been across the Golden Gate Bridge, or have never set foot in a state park or in the woods.
"There are kids who have never seen the ocean before," Alpert said. Everyone's just trying to survive, and it doesn't occur to them to do something for recreation."
All ninth-graders come together for one week each summer to work out of the Tennessee Valley Nursery in the Marin Headlands, part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. They learn what stewardship means by maintaining trails, weeding invasive plants and planting native species. That Thursday, the students camp out at the park. For many, for whom gang violence is a part of their daily lives, camping under the stars is the scariest thing they've ever done. When they return to school on Friday, they make a presentation to the younger students.
What students and teachers call the "Aim High magic" is the culture the program creates, the sense of community among a diverse group of students and teachers who come together from different schools, different lives, for this one brief period in the summer. The cardinal rule is, "No put-downs." Students and teachers are not allowed to even jokingly criticize themselves.
To sustain the magic and maintain those powerful relationships, Aim High sponsors enrichment programs, including free trips to museums, every month during the school year. There also are weekly trips to the Tennessee Valley for continued environmental projects throughout the winter.
"We help our kids not feel lost," Lee said. "We help our kids understand that they're safe."
Considering their circumstances, that's no small feat.
Last summer, a student walking to an Aim High program at Visitacion Valley Middle School found the body of a man who had been murdered just off the edge of the school property. Under normal circumstances, that kind of traumatic experience would have happened in a vacuum, but this student had the immediate support of the teachers, mentors and other student.
Adolescents walk a tightrope between being children and wanting to grow up. Under the pervasive influence of drugs and violence, their lives can easily go the wrong way. But given the right circumstances, they blossom.
"Kids in middle school are just figuring out who they are," Foulke said. "You can tap into the children in them and take advantage of their enthusiasm."
"Kids in middle school start to question themselves, as they are trying to separate from their parents," Alpert said. "Aim High steps in with great mentors. We ran a program in the Western Addition neighborhood, which is a really rough neighborhood, where kids were killed by stray bullets at night. I remember one sixth-grader who was tiny but was one of the toughest kids I ever met. Aim High broke down that bravado. We had high school, college and professional teachers from that neighborhood as mentors. That's powerful. At the very least, those mentors can say to him, 'I work. I can take care of myself. I can buy my own sneakers.'"
Alpert said Lee is responsible for saving hundreds of lives through Aim High.
"I'm not a deeply religious person, but if there's one person who will go to heaven, it's Alec," Alpert said. "Alec is the Common Good."
Evernease McKnight would attest to that. McKnight is the guardian of a teenager named Lisa Concepción, whom her niece had adopted as an infant. Concepción came to live with McKnight the summer she finished fifth grade, leaving McKnight scrambling for a middle school for her to attend that fall. Concepción was lost at the parochial school she had attended, because the classes were too large, McKnight said, so her one priority was to find a small school. She found one run by Aim High.
Aim High St. Louis
Alec Lee and Haliday Douglas couldn't be less alike, yet their lives intersected at three different points along their remarkably different paths. Lee grew up in St. Louis and attended the John Burroughs School, one of the country's premier prep schools, and then went on to graduate from Bowdoin. So did Douglas. But Lee was born into a supportive, upper middle-class family, while Douglas was the middle of six children raised by a single mother in circumstances most of us cannot imagine: sharing three bedrooms of a two-family condemned flat where the family competed with mice and roaches for the little food his mother could afford. Heat and electricity were unpredictable. Read more...
At the time, Aim High was operating a year-round charter school called Aim High Academy, which Lee plans to reopen in the future. McKnight said that was the first school where Concepción was engaged by the teachers, and where the teachers took the time to reach her.
"The teachers at Aim High said to her, 'You are capable of learning, just like the other kids,'" McKnight said. "They gave her a lot of individual attention and kept trying different approaches. She was never an excellent student, but they made it so she always wanted to go to school, and that was never true before."
After three years at Aim High Academy and three years in the Aim High summer program, Concepción is excelling in high school. With the support of a special education program to address her learning disabilities, she is maintaining a 3.0 grade point average, and she works at the public defender's office after school.
Concepción could have taken the path so many disconnected teenagers choose. McKnight said Concepción sometimes talked about having a baby so she would have someone to love and someone who loved her. Now she is learning to love herself.
"I think Aim High really saved Lisa," said McKnight, who in January was elected to serve on the Aim High board of directors. "I know I couldn't have done it alone."
For all the kids that Aim High saves, it turns away 125-150 qualifying students each year because of a lack of funding.
"Sometimes we look at the applications and have to make the hard choice," Lee said. "We have to say, 'That kid doesn't need us that much.'"
The goal is to increase from nine sites serving 776 students a year, to 12 sites serving 1,200, and to increase the teaching staff from 200 to 300, by 2010.
With a per-student cost of $1,500, the current budget is $1.3 million; next year's will be $1.5 million. Expanding as much as they would like could push the annual budget as high as $2.1 million by 2010. The entire program is funded annually through donations and grants.
And as the program grows, so does the demand. The Oakland School District, outside of San Francisco approached Lee five years ago to open an Aim High site there, and a similar request came from East Palo Alto in 2005. Last year, the president of the board of trustees of the University of California system told Lee she'd like to see Aim High on every one of the system's 30 campuses.
With the success of the summer school program, Lee can't help believing that the model can be replicated in regular schools. He is committed to reopening Aim High Academy as a small, independent middle school that students can attend tuition-free.
"We want to become a model and put pressure on schools to be different and better," Lee said. "We have a moral imperative to at least try to expand this into a year-round school."
That's where Laura Foulke comes in. She joined Aim High in 2004 to help develop a strategic plan for the organization's future expansion, and is responsible for fundraising and external relations. She seems tailor-made for Aim High.
Foulke majored in English with a studio art minor. She took no education courses while she was at Bowdoin, but she did take a "fabulous Asian studies course" in her senior year, which inspired her to fly to Thailand after graduation to teach English.
"I loved teaching," she said. "I was hooked."
When she returned to the U.S., she got a job at the Council on Foundations, in Washington, D.C., where she learned about the world of philanthropy. That felt too removed from the work she loved, so Foulke enrolled in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Lee's other alma mater. While there, she helped start a program called "Gear Up," which gets local middle school kids interested in college. After graduation, she got a job as dean of student support services at a Boston charter school.
Foulke had spent a summer in San Francisco when she was at Bowdoin, and she never gave up the idea of moving back there. In the spring of 2004, she started looking for a job in the Bay Area and found Aim High.
"I knew Suzanne (Alpert) because we had friends in common, and I had a lot of respect for her as a teacher," Foulke said. "And any teacher in San Francisco will know Aim High."
Foulke is impressed with the slow, steady, sustainable growth Lee has maintained at Aim High, and she's looking forward to helping build its future.
"This work brings people a lot of joy, though it can be exhausting and daunting," she said. "Everyone here feels that we can, and do, make difference."

The Dodge City Community College basketball teams rebounded from losses Friday night in the Conq Classic by picking up victories Saturday night at the United Wireless Arena to close out the annual junior college festival.
The Conquistadors gained a little revenge by pulling away in the second half to beat Clarendon (Texas) 73-54. Clarendon beat Dodge City in its festival last week.
The Lady Conqs were up by 20 at halftime on the way to a 73-39 victory over the Trinidad State (Colo.) Lady Trojans. Dodge City was up 42-22 at halftime.
The victories ended three-game losing streaks for both squads.
Victor Adams led Dodge City (3-3) in the men's game with 17 points, while Delvon Rencher recorded a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds.
Dodge City led by as many as 35 points in the second half of the women's game to improve to 3-4 on the season. Jameeshia Armstrong came off the bench to lead the Lady Conqs in scoring with 18 points, while Kesha Buckner recorded her third double-double of the season with 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Full stories on both games will be in Tuesday's edition of The Daily Globe.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Germany's antitrust watchdog accused Amazon of undermining competition when dealing with third-party merchants and said it would impose reform unless the Internet retailer changed its rules, a German newspaper reported.
"Luckily, we have instruments of torture, which we will use if necessary," Andreas Mundt, the president of the German cartel office, was quoted as telling daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
A struggle with competition authorities in its second-largest market after the United States would add to Amazon's woes.
Its German operations have been rattled by a dispute over employees' pay and a trade union has warned that staff could strike during the Christmas holiday season.
"The terms of Amazon's Marketplace in effect obstruct competition," Mundt said, according to a pre-release on Sunday of the newspaper's Monday edition.
"We are in talks with Amazon to eliminate these impediments to competition...If necessary, we will issue a crystal clear decree."
Separately, Amazon has been criticized over its tax payments and leading policy makers have called for a new German government to crack down on tax avoidance by multinational firms without waiting for its European partners to act.
At the heart of the watchdog's complaints about Amazon's Marketplace is a requirement that third-party merchants must offer their cheapest price when selling their products over the platform.
Amazon was not immediately available for comment.

Experts say the best way to protect your home from costly hurricane damage is to protect the areas in which wind can enter. A great time to hurricane your proof your home is when you are making other improvements or adding an addition.
According to recent wind technology research, it's important to strengthen the exterior of your house so wind and debris won't tear large openings in the structure.
You can prevent thousands in storm damage by taking in consideration the following tips for critical areas of your home:
Gabled Roofs
Does your home have a gabled roof? If so, the end wall of your home takes a tremendous beating during a hurricane. If not properly braced, it can collapse, causing a large amount of damage. Gable end walls are easy to strengthen and should be a high priority on your retrofitting list.
Typically, gable end trusses are directly attached to the top of gable end walls. The bottom of the truss must be securely nailed to the top of the wall and braced to adjacent trusses. This prevents wind from pushing or pulling the gable end at its critical point, where the gable truss is connected along the gable wall.
Shingles are usually not designed to resist hurricane-force winds. For increased wind resistance, have a qualified person inspect several single tabs to see if the adhesive is engaged with the roof. If not, use a quick-setting asphalt cement to bond them together.
To cement the shingle tabs to the underlying shingles, place two spots of quick-setting asphalt cement about the size of a quarter under each tab with a putty knife or caulking gun. Press the tab into the adhesive. Be sure to cement all the tabs throughout the roof, being careful not to bend them farther than necessary when applying the adhesive. Replace any damaged shingles immediately.
One of the best ways to protect a home from damage in high-wind storms is to install impact-resistant shutters over all large windows and glass doors. The shutters protect from wind-borne objects, but can also reduce damage caused by sudden pressure changes when a door or window is broken.
Laminated window systems are a second option, and are a recommended choice for either building an old home or adding to an existing one.
The easiest designs are those that simply cover the opening with a structural panel such as plywood. In past hurricanes, many homeowners upon returning have noticed their temporary plywood shutters blown off because they were not adequately fastened.
Have temporary shutters stored and ready to use since building supply stores generally run out of this type of material quickly. If your home is made of concrete blocks, you will have to install anchoring devices in advance of the storm.
The American Plywood Association offers a series of Hurricane Shutter Designs. Each is available for $1, and can also be downloaded at no cost by clicking here.
Your home has either double or single entry doors. If they are solid wood or hollow metal, they can probably resist wind pressures and hurricane debris.
However, if you're not sure whether they are strong enough, take these precautions:
Because of their width, double-wide garage doors are more susceptible to wind damage than single doors. Unless you have a tested hurricane-resistant door, the wind may force it out of the roller track -- especially if the track is light weight or some of the anchor bolts are not in place. This occurs because the door deflects too much under excessive wind pressure and fails.
To secure your garage door:
You should probably reinforce your double-wide garage door at its weakest points. This involves installing horizontal and/or vertical bracing onto each panel, using wood or light gauge metal girds bolted to the door mullions. You may also need heavier hinges and stronger end and vertical supports for your door.

St. Louis Blues captain David Backes doesn't get many days off during a hectic 82-game season in the National Hockey League.
A week between games is almost unheard of in the NHL.
Instead of returning to St. Louis last Friday night after their game against Winnipeg, the Blues flew down to Charleston on a four-day team bonding trip.
The Blues, who got into town early Saturday morning after a charter flight from Winnipeg, will hold one more practice Tuesday morning at the Carolina Ice Palace beginning at 9:30 a.m. The practice is open to the public.
When Backes, an avid outdoorsman, found out the Blues were headed to Charleston for some much-needed R&R, he wanted to take full advantage of everything the area had to offer. Like most of his Blues teammates, Backes enjoys golf but tries to stay away from the game during the season.
Backes was looking to go fishing, but couldn't settle on a charter or a captain. By chance, he stumbled onto Yates Sea Charters. David Yates, the owner/captain, took Backes and seven teammates 25 miles off of Charleston for some deep-sea fishing. What Backes didn't know is that Yates fancies himself an ice hockey player as well. The trip ended up being a perfect diversion from a long NHL season.
"The fishing was out of this world," Backes said. "We caught a ton of fish, including some king mackerel and just had a great time. You don't get many days like that during the regular season. Captain Yates was fantastic, and him being a hockey fan just made our experience even that much more enjoyable."
The Blues are spending four days in the Lowcountry as part of a team-building trip, which in Canadian translates roughly to: golf vacation.
"I know a lot of the guys have been going all over the place trying to get tee times," Backes said. "They have some world class courses down here."
Although Backes had never been to the Lowcountry, he did receive a good scouting report about the area from former Stingrays star Travis Morin. Backes and Morin, who led the Stingrays to the Kelly Cup title in 2009, played three years together at Minnesota-Mankato and have remained close since college.
"Travis just raved about the area, and so far it's been everything he said it would be," Backes said.
On Sunday, the Blues were greeted by more than 150 fans at the Carolina Ice Palace as they stepped onto the ice for their first practice in South Carolina. It was an unexpectedly warm reception for a team that plays its home games nearly 900 miles from Charleston. With parents back at work on Monday there were about 50 diehard fans to watch the hour-long workout.
"Who knew there were so many Blues fans in Charleston?" St. Louis defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk said.
Just before the end of Sunday's practice, the Junior Stingrays, a local youth travel team, got on the ice with the Blues for a quick skate and an impromptu scrimmage.
"It was an incredible experience for the kids to get on the ice with NHL players," said Matt Mons, the Junior Stingrays coach along with former Stingrays defenseman Jason Hehr. "It was awesome. The Blues didn't have to do that, and they were more than happy to stay out on the ice a little longer."
It was no big deal, Backes said.
"I don't know who had more fun, us or the kids," Backes said. "It's not every day you get to give back a little bit, and it was the least we could do."
For one person on the Blues' staff, assistant trainer Chris Palmer, it was a homecoming of sorts. Palmer moved to the Lowcountry when he was in the fifth grade and graduated from Summerville High School in 1981. Palmer said he couldn't remember the last time he was in Charleston and spent most of Sunday wandering around the area, which included a visit to the house he grew up in.
"Charleston has changed so much since I lived here," Palmer said. "I was able to get back to my old house and the lady that bought it from my parents still lived there. She was great. She invited me in and just a flood of memories came back to me. This was such a great place to grow up."
For St. Louis native Doug Davinroy, who brought his wife, Jeanne, and three kids to the Ice Palace for Monday's practice, it was a thrill to get to see the Blues up close and personal. The Davinroy family moved from St. Louis to Charleston a year ago.
"We are huge Blues fans and we haven't seen them in person since we moved here," Davinroy said. "We got a puck from one of the players, some autographs. It was a great time."
The idea of getting away from St. Louis and having a team- building trip isn't new for the Blues. A year ago, they went to Whistler ski resort in British Columbia, Canada. This year, head coach Ken Hitchcock was looking for a warmer climate, with plenty of off-ice activities for the players. Buffalo held a portion of its preseason training camp in Charleston in 2001, and Phoenix spent two days in the area in 2008.
"The city was recommended by a bunch of teams," Hitchcock said. "There were about four or five teams that had been here before. They told me from a facilities standpoint, location, things that the players could do off the ice and weather, this was the No. 1 spot. The practice facility — the Ice Palace — has been everything we had hoped for and more.
"I talked a good bit with Lindy Ruff (former Buffalo Sabres coach) and he said this was the best off-site place he'd ever been, and so far he's been spot on. This has been better than advertised."
Hitchcock is a notorious history buff and has spent most of his free time visiting the Revolutionary War and Civil War attractions in the area. Hitchcock has been out to Fort Moultrie and on Tuesday was headed for Fort Sumter after practice.
"I've gone on a couple of carriage tours downtown," Hitchcock said. "I know I've gotten my fix on all the historical stuff around here."

The Recurring Payments add-on allows you to add a recurring option to your products. You can set these to automatically renew or require the customer to purchase the product after the time has expired.
There are three time parameters you can select for your product:
- Forever: This means when the customer purchases the product, they will not need to repurchase the product.
- Monthly: The product will need to be repurchased each month to have access (unless automatic renewing is activated)
- Yearly: The product will need to be repurchased each year to have access (unless automatic renewing is activated)
If you select the monthly or yearly option, you'll see the recurring icon to the left of the time parameter.
To activate the automatic recurring payments, simply click the icon. Once activated, the icon should show in green.

So my wife calls me today to share a funny story.
Apparently my son (Little Chet) asked about metorites. He had seen them on Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius. She starts explaining what they are and the conversation led to talk about the space shuttle and the space station.
LC: What do they do up there?
WIFE: They do all kinds of stuff, experiments, look at planets, etc.
LC: The look at planets? Like Planet Penis?
WIFE: What?!
LC: Planet Penis, the one close to Earth.
WIFE: You mean Venus?
LC: Yeah, that's the one.
He doesn't get "Uranus" yet...

J. P. Morgan, Edward Curtis and Christopher Cardozo: An Inspired Collaboration
Christopher Cardozo lives in Minneapolis. His own photographs of Native people have been widely exhibited and are found in many collections including the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. Christopher has spent 40 years of his career collecting, exhibiting, and publishing Edward Curtis' work. During that time his exhibitions and books have reached millions of people around the world with a message of beauty, heart, and spirituality; and inspired others to reflect upon the possibilities for greater diversity, understanding, and environmental sustainability.
Three new exhibitions and two new books on Curtis are being launched beginning this year and next.
Michael Tobias (MT): This past week marks the 100th anniversary of the death of John Pierpont (J.P.) Morgan. I know that Morgan has a particular importance in your own life given your extraordinary commitment to the great artist, photographer, explorer and ethnographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis, and Curtis' own indelible connection to Morgan. Tell me about it?
Christopher Cardozo (CC): Edward Curtis created the most valuable and sought-after set of rare books in US history and left the world a legacy of inestimable importance. It is a deeply human story which, at its essence, is imbued with beauty, heart, and spirit. I believe that in no small part, this is why these iconic images have endured for over a century. It also helps explain why Curtis is the most widely collected photographer in the 170 year history of the medium, and why his photographs have been exhibited to rave reviews all over the world, from Papua, New Guinea to Paris.
MT: And J. P. Morgan?
CC: Curtis' extraordinary contribution would not have been possible but for the insight, commitment, and inspired patronage of a man who at that time was among a small coterie of individuals who were, undoubtedly -in terms of Western and European notions of monetary value – one of the wealthiest of men, J.P. Morgan. As you noted, we are this week celebrating the 100th anniversary of Morgan's passing (March 31st, 1913). The heritage that Morgan left us is extraordinary: in business, finance, collecting (rare books, gems, magnificent works of art), etc. It is an endowment that lives on today at the Morgan Library and Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, Harvard, etc., as well as in major international financial institutions.
But particularly with respect to art, culture, and rare books, there are few individuals in history that have left us with such a rich inheritance. The fact that the life of this Titan of Wall Street intersected with a grade-school dropout – Edward Sheriff Curtis – who grew up in abject poverty, is simply extraordinary. That their collaboration resulted in the unparalleled preservation of crucial aspects of a 10,000-year-old culture, is all the more amazing.
MT: Tell me about that fateful meeting between Morgan and Curtis?
CC: When Curtis approached Morgan in 1906 for assistance with his grand plan, Morgan turned him down without even looking at a single photograph. Curtis, of course, was expected to graciously exit the massive wood-paneled office of this all-powerful financier who had just given him an "unequivocal" no. Curtis was undaunted. Before leaving he prevailed upon Morgan to do him the courtesy of looking at a small portfolio of his photographs of Native Americans. Morgan complied, and then according to Morgan's secretary, Morgan did the unthinkable, he changed his mind for only the second time in 25 years!
MT: Then what?
CC: Morgan agreed to advance Curtis $75,000 to launch what was soon heralded as "the most gigantic undertaking since the King James version of the Bible." Today, fine examples of those sets of rare books, which never would have been created but for Morgan's faith and commitment, can sell for nearly $3 million. Over the next two decades Morgan and his heirs ultimately contributed $400,000 to the production of Curtis's magnum opus, The North American Indian. In today's dollars this would translate into $10 million based on the Consumer Price Index, or a whopping $200 million as a relative percentage of the GDP. An extraordinary commitment to the world of art, rare books and to the preservation of a record of a people and a culture which otherwise would have been lost forever. Morgan once said: "I like a man who attempts the impossible."

We're back with another original DIY, this time brought to us by the awesome Candy of taylor & DEMOLISH. Keep reading to find out how to make these embellished cuffed jeans, and stop by taylor & DEMOLISH for more of Candy's DIYs!Images via Around Lucia, Style Scrapbook, Tumblr, Sania Claus, Caroline's Mode
I have been cuffing my jeans ever since the weather began to warm up in Manhattan and when I spotted these jeans from H&M's upcoming Fall 2012 collection, I knew they would make the perfect DIY to add to my collection!
Medium blue skinny jeans
Rhinestones (SS30 (6mm) Crystal)
Seed beads (Mine are the cry luster colored beads from M&J Trimming)
1. Put jeans on and fold the cuff so it's about 1.5 inches above your ankle. The cuff itself should be 2-3 inches long.
2. Using a couple stitches around the jeans, stitch the cuff to the jeans so it doesn't unfold.
3. Split the number of large jewels that you have in half. Sew half individually onto the left cuff and half on the right. Make sure to space them evenly around the entire jean cuff.
4. Glue about 10-15 rhinestones to each cuff with the E6000 glue. Let rhinestones dry for about 30 minutes.
5. Fill in open gaps by sewing in the pearls. I used about 30 on each jean cuff.
6. Fill in any other open gaps you may find with your seed beads. I created loops of 5 beads each.
And there you have it! Cuff your jeans and expose this beautiful hidden treasure!

Leann Rimes has been banned from speaking for two weeks after losing her voice.
The Blue hitmaker suffered an allergic reaction earlier this month (Jan13) and woke up over the weekend (19-20Jan13) to discover she could not speak properly.
Rimes consulted a doctor, who told her to rest her vocal cords for two weeks, but she defied the medic's orders to appear on Jimmy Kimmel's TV chat show on Tuesday night (22Jan13).
Detailing her health scare, she says, "I'm good except I have no voice. I had these allergies going on, which I've never had... one day I wake up, like two days ago, with absolutely no voice, so I'm like okay, let me go to the doctor...
"I went into the doctor, I'm like I've got no voice, my head is swollen... literally my face last night was so swollen.
"He tried to put a shot up my nose. They've never done this to me before, because I haven't had allergies before. The shots actually didn't work. I'm not supposed to be talking, but I'm talking to you."
Rimes has now taken to writing down her thoughts at home, explaining, "I've been using a dry-erase board, I'm not joking... I can't talk for the next two weeks once I'm done here."

Remember the Petronas FP1? Sure you do. It was the fire-breathing three-cylinder rolling piece of sex-on-wheels whose teal livery rode to the podium twice in the 2004 World Superbike Championship.
Though the 900cc triple was campaigned by Carl Fogarty and ridden by Troy Corser with some early success, the move to 1,000cc for all motors in WSBK diminished the team's chance of winning with its homologation special. Spearheaded by the Malaysian petroleum company Petronas, the project was ultimately abandoned in 2006.
Said to have built 150 units to meet homologation requirements (100 of which were available for purchase), the actuality of that number varies depending on whether or not you believe the rumors about shipping containers from England to Malaysia and double-counting.
With the project scrapped long ago, it seemed the Petronas FP1 dream was resting six-feet-under, until now. Rebranded under the name Momoto, the Momoto MM1 is the Petronas FP1 in new clothing. Said to be once again available for public consumption, our details and information on the bike are sadly very sparse. Though we do have a bevy of media waiting for you after the jump. Thanks for the tip Zaini!

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The King men's and women's swimming & diving teams traveled to Spartanburg, S.C. where Converse College hosted the 2012 Conference Carolinas Invitational. The men finished fifth overall while the women's team finished fourth.
King's best performances came on the women's side where Rachel Fuller and Kelsey Wiese each put together a strong show in their respective individual events.
Fuller, a freshman from North Augusta, N.C., finished fifth in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1:04.42.
Wiese, a junior from Gallatin, Tenn., tied for fourth overall in the 50 free when she touched the wall at the same time as Limestone's Brianne Jones at 25.50.
The Lady Tornado scored a total of 141.5 points to finish fifth of five teams. Queens (N.C.) won the women's side with a total score of 629.
The men's team finished fourth of four teams, scoring 192 points. Queens (N.C.) also won the meet on the men's side, putting up 764 points.
The Tornado are getting right back in the pull on Saturday, Oct. 20, at the pool at Tennessee High School (Bristol, Tenn.). They will host Mars Hill and Milligan College in a double dual.

There's no need to introduce Nasty Gal, Sophia Amoruso's e-commerce site that's responsible for depleting your bank account for the past four years, but we would like to present a first look at Nasty Gal's debut in-house line. Comprised of 26 pieces, the first collection is a melange of cool-girl references that gets both Pretty Woman and Pretty In Pink on us with sheer, bondage-inspired onesies, off-the-shoulder sweaters, and not-so-sweetheart necklines that are more spicy than saccharine.
Shot by nasty guy Terry Richardson, the first fall collection is named "Weird Science," and its pieces are named accordingly (the Cryptic Mesh Moto, the Fuse Shag jacket, the Corrupted Sweater...you nerds get the gist). Says Sophia, "It's trippy to me, because we are a purely digital entity, that we are manifesting clothes in the third dimension. We've been partying online with our customer for nearly six years now, and I'm super stoked to design a collection just for her."
After looking through the full lookbook, might we suggest that Nasty Gal just go full geek and change their tagline? "All your bank accounts belong to us" seems appropriate.

Well, nobody except for my calm, reasonable and maddeningly rational husband. And he didn't exactly say "no", although I think the word "divorce" might have been bandied about. Actually, he gently and calmly reminded me that buying a horse for a ten year old child is not a great idea IF you are trying to raise a child to grow up to be a productive member of society who understands that one must WORK for what she wants.
Then I talked to Kami, the gal from whom we currently lease a horse and my go-to gal for all horse-related questions. She told me that she thought it would be best to wait, because the rider that Anna is now is not the same as the rider she will be in a couple of years. So if we bought a horse to suit Anna's needs and abilities now, in 2-3 years we'd be looking to replace it with, say, a barrel-racer or whatever.
Somewhat coincidentally (or maybe not) my friend Jennifer mentioned in an email how her first-born child is driving her mad because he is lazy and doesn't want to have to work for anything. In fact, he can't be bothered to get his driver's license because it's "too hard" and too much work. That does sound a lot like a certain 10 year old I know. And I'm smart enough (barely) to know that we want to nip that behavior in the bud right now.
So yeah. I knew that I had to go home after work and break my daughter's heart, because I am a BIG FAT IMPULSIVE DUMB SHIT who got her hopes up and basically said to her "Nobody is going to tell us what to do! Let's go buy a horse!"
As soon as I got home, I sat her down and had the talk. I explained it all to her, why it was important to wait, both Kami's argument that she will grow and change as a rider a lot in the next couple of years, and also how I realized (without implicating Davey as the bad guy) that one of my most important jobs as a parent is to teach her the value of working toward something. How it will actually be a lot more satisfying for her to earn it and she'll appreciate that lesson later in life....blah blah blah.
And then the crying and wailing and sobbing and thrashing and gnashing of teeth commenced. She was, as expected, disappointed and heartbroken and I felt like the worst. parent. ever. I knew I was doing the right thing, I was just so mad at myself for getting her hopes up. I held her for awhile while she cried and then she wanted me to go away. At one point I checked on her and she had pulled the hide-away bed out and was under it, crying and "working on something". I figured it was a note of the "I'm running away from home" sort, but I should have known better. This kid expresses herself through drawing. Eventually she came out of the room with a smirk on her face and handed me this:
(in case you can't read that, it says: "No! Not til you're 122! Oh wait you'll be dead by then. Did I mention I lied? Sucks for u.")
Yeah. OUCH.
For a split second I was devastated, but then I couldn't help but burst out laughing. This kid knows how to WORK it, doesn't she?
I went in and said "So this is how you see me, with glowing red eyes and big fangs?"
"AND A BIG NOSE", she made sure to point out.
Then we laughed and hugged and she was all better.
Why didn't anyone TELL me parenting was so hard? I HATE having to be the grown-up. Luckily I have a pretty great kid, with a big, beautiful, forgiving heart. Sigh.

A urinary catheter is a long, hollow, rubber drainage tube that is inserted into the body. It enters where you urinate and goes into the bladder. A small balloon is inflated at the tip of the tube once it is in your bladder. The balloon helps to keep the catheter in place. The other end of the tube is connected to a collection bag. The purpose of the catheter is to drain urine from the bladder. Your doctor will determine how long the urinary catheter will remain in place.
The following are reasons your doctor may have asked that you have a urinary catheter:
There may be other reasons you have your urinary catheter. Please talk with your doctor about why you need your catheter.
Return to your doctor on the following date to have your catheter removed:__________. Call your doctor's office if you cannot keep this appointment.
A leg bag is a urine collection bag that is strapped to your leg. It is smaller than the bag that you may use at night. This smaller bag allows you to move around more easily. However, you must empty the leg bag every 3 to 4 hours. To drain the bag, follow these steps:
Follow these directions to care for either your leg bag or your night drainage bag:
During the day, you may want to use a leg bag. At night, you can change it to a larger collection bag.
When your night drainage bag is connected and you are ready to go to bed, decide on which side of the bed you want the drainage bag to hang. Tape the drainage tubing to the thigh of the leg that will be next to the side of the bed where the bag will hang. Use hypoallergenic (HI-po-al-er-JEN-ik) tape, which is available at most drug stores and supermarkets. Leave some slack in the line so you will not pull on the catheter when you move while sleeping.
When you get into bed, set up the drainage tubing so it does not kink or loop. Then hang the drainage bag by its hook from the side of the bed frame. Be sure to keep the drainage bag below the level of the bladder at all times, whether you are lying, sitting, or standing. Do not hang the bag from the headboard or footboard of the bed, or from a chair beside the bed.
Urinary catheters may cause infections in the bladder and kidneys of men and women. In men, they may cause infection in the genital tract. Catheters also may cause bladder stones. Catheters may irritate the lining and underlying tissues of the tube through which urine flows out of the bladder (urethra). This irritation may cause open wounds of those tissues.
Call your doctor or nurse if any of the following occurs:

Subject: Sexual Harassment and Special Responsibilities of Supervisory and Management Personnel Having Knowledge of Potential Sexual Harassment Situation
In recent years, employers and campuses have increasingly been held liable for damages in cases involving the issue of sexual harassment of employees and students. Litigation of even one sexual harassment case on our campus could potentially result in significant shrinking of our already limited budget funds. For this reason and because SJSU has a genuine commitment to providing all its students and employees with a comfortable and safe environment for learning and working, I am issuing this memo to clarify for all SJSU supervisory personnel the kind of conduct that is defined as sexual harassment and the responsibilities of all supervisory personnel when they have any knowledge that sexual harassment may be taking place within the campus community.
Sexual Harassment:
Sexual harassment is defined by EO 345 as follows:
Sexual harassment includes such behavior as sexual advances, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature directed towards an employee, student, or applicant when one or more of the following circumstances are present:
- Submission to or toleration of the conduct is an explicit or implicit term or condition of appointment, employment, admission or academic evaluation;
- Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for a personnel decision or an academic evaluation affecting an individual;
Sexual Harassment and Special Responsibilities of Supervisory and Management Personnel Page Two:
- The conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with an employee's work performance, or creating an intimidating, hostile, offensive or otherwise adverse working environment;
- The conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with a student's academic performance, creating an intimidating, hostile, offensive or otherwise adverse learning environment, or adversely affecting any student.
Supervisory Personnel Responsibilities:
The courts have held that an employer/campus is responsible for acts of sexual harassment in the work place when any of its supervisory employees knows or should have known of the conduct, unless it can show that it took immediate and appropriate corrective action. In order for the University to meet this duty of taking immediate and appropriate corrective action, it is necessary that all SJSU supervisory employees understand that they have the following responsibilities when they have any knowledge or belief that sexual harassment might be taking place within our campus community:
- All supervisory employees have the responsibility immediately to refer any student or employee who they know or believe to be experiencing sexual harassment to the Director of Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action (EEO/AA) by providing the location of her office (ADM 112) and telephone extension (4-1115). Any allegations or evidence of sexual harassment will then be investigated by the Director of EEO/AA pursuant to PD 91-03 (Students/Applicants for Admission Discrimination Complaint Procedure), PD 91-07 (Employees/Applicants for Employment Discrimination Complaint Procedure) or any applicable union agreement grievance procedure.
- All supervisory employees have the responsibility to listen closely to any employee or student who comes to them with any evidence of sexual harassment, but then they have the responsibility immediately to refer the matter to the Director of EEO/AA and to refrain from investigating in any manner the alleged sexual harassment. Only the Director EEO/AA has been authorized by the SJSU President to investigate complaints of sexual harassment.
- All supervisory employees who have personal knowledge or belief of sexual harassment taking place within the campus community have the responsibility to contact immediately the Director of EEOIAA.
Sexual Harassment and Special Responsibilities of Supervisory and Amangement Personnel Page Three:
- All supervisory employees who have knowledge or belief of any sexual harassment taking place within the campus community via a student or employee complaint or personally gathered evidence have the responsibility to keep such information confidential with the exception of immediately relating the information to the Director of EEO/AA or, in the event of her absence, the President of the SJSU.
The failure of supervisory employess to carry out these responsibilities may be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.
Question regarding the implementation of campus policies, or complaints of discrimination should be directed to the office of equal employment opportunity and affirmatvie action (4-1115).

Hey, i was about to purchase the metal option, but the price with shipping would have been nearly $500 more...If you are willing to work on the cost there, I might upgrade. I also was considering getting embellishments, but guessing you don't do that on posters. Contact me if you are willing to work on the pricing. Otherwise I am stoked...this is my birthday present to myself.
