Countdown to Final Crisis #19- Countdown is so much better when the writers decide to dump some stories and concentrate on the remaining ones. Even this week when the stories are on Jimmy Olsen and Holly Robinson, they still managed to put together a good issue. Cause the fact that the main story was on Piper dragging around the corpse of Trickster might have something to do with it, but the point is this. Why can't they do this at the start of the series instead of the end?
Countdown Arena #2 & #3- I have never heard of Keith Champage before, but I can see why DC hired him. Whereas most writers would have put together a story consisting of nothing but slugfests after slugfests (see World War Hulk for example), Champage had tried to put together a good story on this gimmick series. He is mostly successful. I'm especially impressed with how he had Monarch making the mistake of concentrating on the Supermans and not keeping an eye on the defeated heroes. Nothing in the interaction between the various heroes feel forced and there is a flow to the story which is very impressive. The artwork is so-so at best but the story by Champage is excellent. One more issue of this and DC got a success here.

From Decatur, Georgia, USA:
I am a physical therapist, and will soon be completing my MBA/MHA. I have had type 1 diabetes since I was nine, and I would love to find a way to use my health background and my experiences with diabetes in my new career. I am very active and am very pro-active in my control, and have been fortunate to have no complications. It is the area I am most passionate about, but have been unable to find many viable career options. I would love to find a way to do something I really care about and also make a living that can support my family. Any suggestions?
You may wish to contact DESA, the Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association (formerly the International Diabetic Athletes Association). Their members may be able to give you further direction.
Additional comments from Lois Schmidt Finney, diabetes dietitian:Check with your local American Diabetes Association or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation chapter and see what they have to offer.
[Editor's comment: You might check with The American Association of Diabetes Educators, a multidisciplinary organization comprised of healthcare professionals who provide diabetes education and care. They may know of job opportunities. SS]
[Editor's comment: Contact the local diabetes camp and let them know you'd like to help at camp (and add that you're looking for a permanent job in the field). They might have some contacts, especially if you demonstrate your interest in the field by volunteering. WWQ]

Event Overview:
Food and beverage manufacturers around the world are looking for ways to cut sugar in their products, particularly as the health effects of excess sugar are increasingly questioned.
The trend for low- and no-sugar items has extended well beyond 'diet' and 'light' soft drinks, to yoghurts and desserts, tooth-friendly gums and sweets, diabetic-friendly baked goods, and even reduced sugar soups, sauces and ketchup.
The drivers for these trends are diverse. Sugar policy has kept prices relatively high in some markets, particularly Europe and the United States, while the Chinese government is keen to remain self-sufficient in sugar and is looking at a suite of measures to sate its country's increasing appetite for the sweet stuff.
Meanwhile, many parents are concerned about the amount of sugar in their children's diets but are often looking for sweet alternatives that are free from artificial ingredients too.
But there are many challenges to reducing and replacing sugar in formulations – technical, regulatory and consumer-driven.
In this FoodNavigator online summit, we look at the market for reduced sugar and zero-sugar products, how to deal with some of the technical challenges of sugar reduction, and areas food and beverage makers should be keeping an eye on for new opportunities.
Who should attend?
The event is for anyone engaged in nutrition from senior management to food manufacturers, researchers, new product developers, regulators and ingredient suppliers.

Most people seem to have missed the news, but Twitter added in-tweet polling this month. This is an interesting new feature, and one of the biggest changes to the platform in years, but there's a problem: When viewing a poll in one of the many not-yet-compatible clients, just the text of the question appears. There is no indication that a poll was attached, leading to some weird, out-of-context possibilities.

Hi again! I'm excited to share what turned out to be one of my favorite DIY projects so far!
Dress up any glass bottle, jar, etc. with a touch of glitter.
|Photo Credit: David Caicedo
glass bottle, or jar
masking tape
paint brush
Mod Podge
plastic bag/plastic wrap
spray sealant
1. Soak your glass bottles in warm water until the labels are easy to remove. Scrub bottle with the coarse part of a sponge to remove any left over adhesive.
2. Using masking tape, mark off where you want the glitter on the bottle.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the Mod Podge to the marked off area.
4. Sprinkle the glitter onto the Mod Podge. You will want to do this over cardboard or a paper bag to catch the excess glitter.
5. Allow the bottle to dry. Then, spray sealant onto the glittery parts. To avoid getting sealant on the other parts of the glass, tape on a plastic bag or plastic wrap.
And there you have it!

Important documents for Palm Island residents:
- Class Action Settlement Notice
- Deed of Settlement
- Palm Island Class Action Settlement Scheme
- Summary of the judgment of Justice Mortimer in the Federal Court made on 5 December 2016
- Orders made by the Federal Court on 5 December 2016
Any residents of Palm Island who were affected by the events of November 2004 should contact Levitt Robinson in order to register as a group member in the proceeding.
Levitt Robinson Solicitors is running a class action on behalf of Aboriginal residents of Palm Island concerning allegations of institutionalised racial discrimination within the Queensland Police Service in the events surrounding the 2004 death of Palm Island's Mulrinji (aka Cameron Doomadgee) in police custody.
An internal investigation into Mulrunji's death cleared the police of all wrongdoing. Queensland's Crime and Misconduct Commission was later to conclude that "the investigation into the death of Mulrunji was seriously flawed, its integrity gravely compromised in the eyes of the very community it was meant to serve."
The death in custody and flawed police investigation sparked a protest in the local community – since dubbed the "Palm Island Riots" by the media. In response, the Queensland police declared a state of emergency on the Island and proceeded to send waves of armed police officers to arrest numerous Palm Island residents in their homes.
Levitt Robinson is acting for the residents of Palm Island affected by those events.
An initial trial of the lead applicants' claims was held in September 2015 and April 2016. On 5 December 2016, the Federal Court ruled in favour of the applicants, awarding them a total of $220,000 in compensation. The Court also paved the way for more compensation to be awarded to group members with similar claims.
In her landmark judgment, Justice Mortimer made nine separate declarations that officers of the QPS had engaged in unlawful racial discrimination contrary to section 9(1) of the Commonwealth Racial Discrimination Act 1975.
Her Honour described the differential treatment by the police of the Palm Islanders by reference to their race as "an affront to the rule of law."
Levitt Robinson Senior Partner, Stewart Levitt, told the ABC that:
"It's the first time an entire community has been represented in a class action against a state of Australia alleging racial discrimination and being vindicated in that cause."
"You see terrible things happening to people without any remedies and there's so much disillusionment in the Indigenous community because they just don't get a fair go under our legal system."

- Notice of Disclosure of Costs Agreement

I don't know whether Gina Carano has a future as an actress but she certainly kicks ass in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire, a jet-propelled action-thriller that has little time for wasted motion.
Working from a script by Lem Dobbs, who also wrote The Limey, Soderbergh has made an intense and intensely lean little film packed with familiar faces and dark intentions. Most of those are aimed at Carano, as Mallory Kane, an operative for a private security firm used by the government for off-the-books operations.
As the film starts, she's a fugitive from an operation gone wrong. After rescuing a hostage in Barcelona, she's stumbled on dirty business within her own organization. Now she's on the run, trying to track down her own boss to figure out why she was set up.
The story itself isn't anything special; like most films of this type, it's a math equation in which you're solving for X and there aren't a lot of choices.
But there's some serious electricity in this film because Soderbergh is so intent on simply moving forward, watching the world from Mallory's point of view and figuring things out along with her.
Carano is a mixed-martial-arts champion who Soderbergh hired for her astonishing physical prowess; in some ways, she's like a female Jason Statham -- no-nonsense, take no prisoners, lay waste now and ask questions later.
She faces off against one guy after another: Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor and a handful of nameless stuntmen. She takes her share of punishment but then pulls a Timex on her opponents: She not only keeps on ticking -- she keeps on kicking. She can smile, even dress up and be glamorous -- but she looks most comfortable when she's wearing a scowl, while banging someone's head into a wall.
I don't want to shout this movie's praises too loudly because it's neither deep nor challenging. But it is damned entertaining, full of moments that make you go "Whoa -- did I just see that?" and ones that have you grunting in sympathetic pain with Carano's victims.
Soderbergh keeps it as simple as possible, while designing a variety of breath-taking camera moves that seem to be spur-of-the-moment, whatever-works. The actual exposition -- the explanation of the plot -- is almost beside the point; we know who the heroine is and watch over her shoulder as she tries to figure out just who she can trust.
Yet she's not a solo operative running around loose in the world. At one point, she winds up at the home of her father (Bill Paxton), the writer of best-selling historical thrillers -- and we get a glimpse of his astonishment at what his daughter has become.
In some ways, Haywire is a movie on the same wavelength as David Mamet's Redbelt or Heist. It's got a job to do -- and it does it very well, without wasting time explaining itself. It's that rarity -- an action movie with intelligence.

Kristen Bell attended the 2nd annual 'Life Is Amazing' Lexus Short Films Series presented by The Weinstein Company and Lexus held at LA Live on Wednesday (July 30) in Los Angeles, California.
The actress wore a Monique Lhuillier Resort 2015 navy dress with a nude panel featuring a gathered detail at the back.
Nude Louboutin pumps and an Edie Parker 'Jean' black and nude pearl stripe clutch accessorized her look.
I love the unique design which allows her to cover her baby-bump without any fuss, plus I like the styling.
I'm not sure this will go down well with the majority, but I think she, who has been below par recently, manages to pull it off.

300. You said there should be more rigorous
success criteria. That is a resounding phrase but it really says,
"We ought to know what we are doing".
(Mr Sykes) Yes, but understanding how you are going
to measure when you have achieved the benefits that come out of
the project I think is something which is not necessarily being
done as well as it should have been in the past, but on my particular
project I know exactly what success will look like and what I
have to do to make sure that I capture the benefits.
301. Can you give us an estimate of the benefits
that have been identified in money terms?
(Mr Sykes) From the Gateway review process?
302. From these ten projects you are referring
(Mr Sykes) I cannot give you an answer on that. I
think where we are on these Gateway reviews at the moment is that
we are generally in the early stages of the project, and what
we are able to do is say that, because of the Gateway review process,
the predictability of outcome, ie that the projects are on time,
deliver their benefits and are within budget, is very much enhanced.
303. That is very general. Are you not in a
position at some point to estimate how much that enhancement is?
(Mr Sykes) I think it would have to be done empirically
against some statistics like 50 per cent of projects used to be
X per cent over budget and now only 10 per cent of projects are
X per cent over budget, therefore the cost avoidance that we have
got from Gateway process is Y.
304. Can you answer the question in those terms?
(Mr Sykes) At the moment no, because not all of these
projects have been through the whole Gateway cycle. The Gateway
cycle has five gateways and the most advanced of these projects
is at Gateway 3 where we have just committed to signing the contract.
305. Do you expect to evaluate them in these
(Mr Sykes) Absolutely.
306. When will that be?
(Mr Sykes) Probably the first of these projects in
about 18 months' time.
307. Can we turn to e-commerce? You say that
the OGC needs to ensure that the e-commerce agenda takes on board
the needs of the departments and you refer to a number of earlier
central initiatives, having led to abortive working departments.
Which initiatives are you thinking of other than the electronic
shopping mall?
(Mr Sykes) The electronic shopping mall was a pre
OGC initiative.
308. What other initiatives have got nowhere?
(Mr Sykes) That is the issue to which we are referring.
309. Do you think the OGC are taking adequate
notice of the needs of different departments and taking forward
the e-commerce agenda?
(Mr Sykes) They are now, yes.
310. What was going on before, then? "Now"
is a very weighted word.
(Mr Sykes) As I said at the start, historically, pre
OGC, the tendency was for things to be imposed from the centre"This
is good for you, you will do it. Here are some aspirational targets.
Go away and do it". The OGC process now is far more consultational
and, when the Gateway review process was first brought in, the
first OGC project to be put through the Gateway process was the
shopping mall, and the Gateway review process identified that
that shopping mall was premature and would not meet the need of
departments, and so the project was killed, so there was a cost
avoidance there. I do not know how much the quantum was for that.
311. Are you saying or implying that the OGC
have improved their performance?
(Mr Sykes) Yes.
312. So they were part of the problem to begin
with, were they?
(Mr Sykes) Pre OGC?
313. No, I am talking about the OGC, not pre
(Mr Sykes) The shopping mall was not an OGC project.
It pre-dated the OGC.
314. Are you saying that the OGC are the improvement
(Mr Sykes) Yes.
315.or are you saying that the OGC's
performance has improved in the period while they have been in
(Mr Sykes) It is both.
316. What was wrong with the earlier part? Let
us just take the period while the OGC were in being. What was
the previous difficulty with them?
(Mr Sykes) With the OGC per se I do not think
we have said that we have difficulties with the OGC. The concept
of bringing this together as a unified body and Peter Gershon's
approach to inclusion of departments in the process is all positive.
The improvement aspect of that is that you cannot expect to change
the world overnight and we are seeing the continuous improvement
of what they provide.
317. I wonder if I might ask you, Mr Sykes,
in terms of this OGC target or estimate of 90 per cent of transactions
being carried out electronically and their submission that 50
per cent across government are being carried out electronically,
what is the score of your department?
(Mr Sykes) For the centre of DTLR it is 57/58 per
cent at the latest count.
318. When would you expect it to achieve the
90 per cent target?
(Mr Sykes) If I can preface this by saying the reason
we are not at the 90 per cent at the moment is that our e-procurement
project was dependent on the replacement of the Department's finance
and accounting system which is on-going and due to go live in
April and we have bought a package which is integral with the
finance and accounting systems so we do not have integration problems,
the finance package goes live on 1 April. We start to roll out
e-procurement round about July of this year and we hope to have
it out in the whole of the centre of the department by September.
We will therefore be capable in September of this year of carrying
out one hundred per cent of our procurement transactions electronically.
The issue of whether we will achieve 90 per cent will then be
an issue of whether our suppliers are up to speed and able to
trade from their side electronically.
319. That is very good news. What was the problem
with the Department's finance and accounting system?
(Mr Sykes) It was out of date, it did not meet the
need, it was not suitable for doing resource accounting and budgeting,
and it was part of a planned up-grade for the department, but
the existing accounting systems had no mechanisms, without building
very extensive interfaces, of doing electronic procurement.

Hey guys, how you all going?!
Yes another post with my lover a.k.a dog because she ran out the door and chased mum and I down the driveway and was jumping in the air like this the entire time we took photos. She is just a big fluff ball of poodle happiness and never fails to put a smile on my face. For the past week I have been like yeah next post I want to talk about this and was getting really passionate about it and then I sat down at the computer and just wasn't feeling it. In starting this blog I didn't want it to always be "hey guys this is ma outfit blah blah blah" because I think there is only so much I can talk about fashion. I mean don't get me wrong I love clothes but I did want this blog to be about things that inspire me, get me passionate, maybe dogs, throw in some of my art maybe, some music and dogs, dogs again. At the moment however Lamour is looking freakin' adorable laying on my bed with her toy in her mouth and I want to go and cuddle her and continue reading my favourite book (the wardstone chronicles best series ever and I mean ever) which I don't know if I'll have any nails left when I finished it because it is just so intense.

Although Russell Johnson was best known for playing the Professor on GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, his military service to this country has to be a great source of pride to him. Russell Johnson almost didn't survive the war when the B-25 bomber he was a navigator in was shot down by flak fire during a low flying accurate bombing mission against Japanese army targets in the Philippines. Johnson's plane and two other B-25s were lost on that mission. Johnson broke both ankles in the plane's crash landing and the crew member serving next to him was killed in the wreckage of the plane. It was a very close call for Johnson who previously was a member of 44 other successful bombing missions meant to win the Pacific theater war.
Certainly Johnson was decorated with a Purple Heart medal for his heroic service to this country. Johnson was awarded many other medals and awards for his military service as well. And after his honorable discharge from the service, Johnson reenlisted in the Army Reserves.
Johnson also was a close friend of highly decorated war hero and actor/singer, Audie Murphy. The two had appeared in a few films together, Johnson was mostly a star in Westerns in the early 50's, but then a number of roles in Sci Fi began to follow, including two time travel stories on THE TWILIGHT ZONE for Johnson. In one memorable one, Johnson attempts to rescue Lincoln from assassination. Other Sci Fi and Western roles also following including THE OUTER LIMITS, but no role has become more famous for Johnson than his role as The Professor, on GILLIGAN"S ISLAND.
BTW, it seems that The Professor's name was only brought up once on GILLIGAN"S ISLAND. A pilot for show was shot using a school teacher character instead of Johnson's character, and two other female costars. Strangely, after the show was recast, the actor playing the school teacher was still seen knocked unconscious in the wreck of the S.S. Minnow during the opening scene of the first actual episode of GILLIGAN'S ISLAND, although Johnson's character was actually used in the three years of the actual series. Look for this major faux pas next time the first episode of the series airs in syndication somewhere or buy the DVD of season one.
Russell Johnson is now 87 and lives up in Washington state, but has continued to remain active, still acting as a volunteer for AIDS after his son was diagnosed and later died from the disease.

The report highlights some of the most salient trends Packaged Facts expects to generate challenges and opportunities for marketers of salty snacks.
Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 14, 2014
"Salty Snacks in the U.S.," a new report from Packaged Facts, analyzes the packaged food industry's recent efforts to roll out a wider array of exciting and innovative healthy-ingredient versions of salty snacks and how food marketers can succeed by targeting a critically important subset of healthy snackers.
The report highlights some of the most salient trends Packaged Facts expects to generate challenges and opportunities for marketers of salty snacks. The report also demonstrates that salty snacks marketers will need to be agile and fast-moving to be up to the challenges presented by today's generation of salty snackers. Moreover, salty snacks marketers will need to be alert to new possibilities for creating innovative products by merging traditional platforms into new snack forms. At the same time, established marketers face intensifying competition from smaller players bent on launching creative and healthy products to meet the needs of today's increasingly health-conscious snackers.
"Salty Snacks in the U.S." defines the market for salty snacks based upon the following product types: potato chips; tortilla/tostada chips; other salted snacks (not including nuts); pretzels; cheese snacks; corn snacks (not including tortilla chips); ready-to-eat popcorn/caramel corn; and pork rinds. The report also analyzes consumer behavior related to the four categories of salty snacks tracked by Simmons National Consumer Study (NCS): potato chips, popcorn products, corn/tortilla chips/cheese snacks and pretzels.
Primary data used in the report are from IRI InfoScan Reviews for the 52 weeks ending September 8, 2013 and the Spring 2013 Simmons National Consumer Study (NCS), which was fielded between January 2012 and March 2013. The report is also based upon data collected from field surveys of food retailers in various channels as well as a wide range of industry sources, including company websites, trade publications, business newspapers and magazines, consumer blogs, and annual reports, 10Ks and other releases from public companies.

Yesterday was Black Friday and I got up at 3:20am so I could go shopping and get everyone I loved something really special. I want to briefly give you my Philosophy of Money and Spending:
I give more to the Lord than I can "afford" and then I spend the rest blessing those really special people in my life that have already given so much.
You can't take a dime with you into eternity, and what good is there in trying to hoard as much money to yourself as you can because "you want to live comfortably in retirement" or "just in case". Retirement means your work is done – and a faithful Christian walk never ends until our last breathe is breathed. It's an orientation; a lifestyle; a paradigm of understanding that is totally countercultural to what mainstream (as there are two types of mainstream – secular and religious) tells us. And when lived to the fullest, you're not able to retire from it because it's too ingrained, too normal to you, too much a way of life.Our Kingdom Priorities are messed up because they are so inward focused. Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength"; and then to "love your neighbor as yourself."
Where your heart and priorities are, that is also where your money goes. So mine goes to God first, and then to my loved ones next with very little left over – not because I spend so much but rather because what little I do make is given or spent on my top priorities. Is it any coincidence that right after Jesus tells everyone the two greatest commandments, He illustrates it with this.
Rich to me might not mean rich to you, but you better believe I'm fully rich in how I live my life. Scary? Extremely. But the strange part is that I've never been more content in my entire life.
Much love.

In the United States, even even the inequality is unequal.
Yes, the level of income inequality among American households rose 18 percent between 1967 and 2010, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau. But that growth has had a larger effect in certain areas, the report finds. Counties in the South, for example, have seen see especially high rates of disparity among income earners, while wages in the Midwest are more equitable.
It's often whether a county has a city inside it that make the difference, as cities often host both the very rich and very poor. To take an obvious example, New York county, which includes Manhattan, is the county with the third highest level of income inequality.
The larger effects of income inequality remain a matter of debate. Occupy Wall Street thrust the issue into the limelight last autumn, but that hasn't been enough to change the minds of those who argue U.S. income inequality has been overstated. Indeed, a recent report based on data from the Labor Department argued income inequality "is no greater today than in it was in the 1980s." What do you think?
See below to find out if you live in one of the top ten counties with the worst income inequality, according to the U.S. Census Bureau:

The first debate of the 2012 Republican presidential primary contest appears set to go forward Thursday – even if there is just one major candidate on stage.
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is the only top-tier candidate expected to participate in the forum at the Peace Center in Greenville, S.C.
Fox News, which is producing the debate with the South Carolina Republican Party, said the other anticipated participants were former Sen. Rick Santorum, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, restaurant executive Herman Cain and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson.
Former Louisiana Gov. Buddy Roemer, who was originally expected to be included, will not meet Fox News' requirement of garnering at least 1% in the most five recent national polls, said Michael Clemente, senior vice president of news for the cable news channel.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. - Joe Hill, a sophomore at the prep school in this small town, stared hard at the handwritten condolences that lined the sidewalk, as if looking for answers. Lowering his sight, he shook his head in loss.
"It scares me,'' he said. "I don't know who to trust. I just keep hoping it's not real.''
As authorities investigated the slaying of Melissa Jenkins, a 33-year-old teacher at St. Johnsbury Academy whose toddler was found alone but unharmed in her idling car Sunday night, residents here were awash in grief, anger, and a bitter sense of betrayal.
"It's just not fair,'' Marion Beattie Cairns, a longtime family friend, said as she wiped away a tear. "Everybody loved her. She was always, always smiling.''
"What's going to happen to Ty?'' she asked about the toddler during a somber gathering of friends and co-workers at her restaurant, where Jenkins had waitressed for a dozen years. "He's such a beautiful little boy.''
Jenkins was a devoted mother to her 2-year-old son and worked two jobs as she attended graduate school to give him a better life, those who knew her recalled.
"He was the light of her life,'' said Beth Choiniere, assistant head for campus life at St. Johnsbury, where Jenkins had taught science for eight years.
The boy, who regularly visits his father, is being cared for by Jenkins's family, friends said. He was found in his mother's car around 11 p.m. Sunday on a back road near her home in St. Johnsbury.
Investigators said there were signs of a struggle.
On Monday afternoon, police found Jenkins's body in Barnet, a town about 10 miles from St. Johnsbury.
The medical examiner's office ruled her death a homicide and confirmed the identity of the body Tuesday, but authorities declined to disclose the cause "as to not inhibit the progress of the investigation.''
Investigators returned to the scene Tuesday where Jenkins's body was found and collected "additional items of interest,'' said Ed Ledo, criminal division commander for the Vermont State Police.
Ledo declined to provide details "in an effort to preserve the integrity of the investigation.''
"We are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Ms. Jenkins, and our thoughts are with her family and friends,'' he said. "We remain committed to solving this case and to identify and bring to justice the person or persons responsible.''
Authorities have said they do not know if the death is isolated, and asked for anyone who traveled on the road Sunday where Jenkins's car was found or anyone who traveled on Comerford Dam Road in Barnet to contact them.
At St. Johnsbury Academy, classes were canceled, and counselors were on hand to help students. Many students wrote letters to Jenkins's son, telling him what a good person his mother was.
Tom Lovett, the school's headmaster, recalled Jenkins as a talented teacher with a knack for mentoring students and helping those intimidated by the idea of tackling scientific ideas. He said Jenkins recently told him that the students who needed the most were the ones "she loved the most.''
Jenkins was completing her master's degree in education and researching how communities and parents can best help struggling students thrive, he said.
"She had a real gift,'' he said. Jenkins had grown up and attended college in the area, he added.
Jenkins was a popular, upbeat presence on campus, colleagues said, who coached basketball and soccer.
"One of those people who everyone loved,'' Lovett said. On one occasion, when a new student from China arrived late for orientation, Jenkins gave him a personal tour of campus to make him feel at home.
Many students had grown close to her over the years, colleagues said, and were taking her death hard.
In handwritten messages that lined the sidewalk in front of the school, students paid their respects.
"Thank you for the courage I'm not sure you know you gave me,'' one read. "If only tears could bring you back,'' read another.
At the restaurant where Jenkins had waitressed, the mood was somber.
Through tears, Beattie Cairns said almost everyone in the area knew Jenkins or her family and are shattered by her death.
"You can't imagine what it's done to this town,'' Beattie Cairns said. "Thirty-three years old, with a little tiny baby.''
She said Jenkins worked Saturday night and left a little early when her baby-sitter texted her that Ty was acting up.
She usually spent Sunday nights at home with Ty, she said. She did not know why she would have left her house.
"For her to leave on a Sunday night,'' she said, her words trailing off. "I don't understand it.''Peter Schworm can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @globepete.

Two-year-olds are often obscured on the Maryland Million program. The babies are usually among the first to compete, and by the time darkness threatens, their elders have stolen the show.
Not that good horses can't come from the $100,000 Maryland Lassie, for fillies, or the $100,000 Maryland Nursery, for colts and geldings. And when the sixth renewal of the Million is held Sunday at Pimlico Race Course, a future star could unveil itself.
Trainer Ben Perkins Jr., who will send out North Carroll for owner Virginia Wright in the Nursery, yesterday summed up the feelings of owners and trainers involved in the 2-year-old races. "We're hoping," said Perkins.

[16] Because parentage laws and birth registration are the societal markers of legal parentage, same-sex couples have commenced numerous court challenges to ensure their inclusion in this fundamental element of family formation. Many Canadian jurisdictions have experienced Charter challenges to these two legislative frameworks, and these challenges will continue if legislatures are slow to respond.
[17] Opposite-sex couples who use
[18] There has been increasing demand for recognition of parental status in recording of birth registry. Birth registration is the process through which all births that occur in a province or territory get documented. It serves two equally important purposes: provides information for health surveillance (mother and child data) and establishes a source of information used to issue proof of the legal status of an individual – name, age, citizenship and legal parentage. Vital Statistics registries have faced human rights and Charter challenges concerning who is entitled to be registered as a parent where AHR is used. Some of the issues raised impact on parentage and others on the registry process or information needs.
[19] As this paper deals only with parentage, the issues relating to the type of registration records to be kept by Vital Statistics will not be dealt with. Further work may be required on the Uniform Vital Statistics Act to define how to adequately record information related to situations involving AHR for health surveillance reasons and to adequately address the information needs or expectations of donors, recipients or children born through AHR.


text: Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams died when the car they sat in was fired on 137 times by Cleveland police in November 29, 2012. While initial reports suggested that Russell and Williams had shot at police sparking a 23-minute car chase, evidence would reveal that not only were the two unarmed, but that police were aware of this prior to the shooting. Officer Michael Brelo, who fired a total of 39 shots has been indicted on two counts of felony voluntary manslaughter. Brelo jumped from behind a car and raced to the hood of Russell's car. He jumped on it and fired 15 shots into the car at Russell and Williams, according to Cuyahoga County prosecutors. After an administrative review Officer Donegan was fired along with a number of supervisors and officers being either demoted or reprimanded. The supervisors were initially all demoted, but on January 8, 2015, a judge determined that Sgt. Donegan, Capt. Zouhar and Lt. Wilson were improperly demoted/fired in connection to the incident. The families of Russell and Williams have accepted settlements of $1.5 million a piece. The supervisors are Donegan, Capt. Ulrich Zouhar, Lt. Paul Wilson, Sgt. Mathew Putnam, Sgt. Patricia Coleman, Sgt. Randolph Daley, Sgt. Jason Edens, Sgt. Brian Chetnick, Sgt. Brian Lockwood, Sgt. Mark Bickerstaff, Sgt. Matthew Gallagher and Sgt. Richard Martinez.

So this is kind of cool: we stumbled upon a fact sheet for the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympic Games. Apparently there are certain guidelines the the producers of the event must keep in mind as they plan the thing, up to and including the "symbolic release of the pigeons."

In the U.S., we're raising our top marginal rate up past 50%–but without any of the huge spending cuts. In 2010, the typical top marginal tax rate on ordinary income in America was about 44% (35% federal, plus 2.8 in uncapped Medicare tax, plus an average of maybe 6% for state taxes). By 2013, due to the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, a hike in the Medicare tax (thanks to Obama's health-care reform), and a phase-out of itemized deductions, this top rate will rise by about 7 percentage points—to just around 50%. The top rate in New York City and California will be well over 50%.
A 50%+ top marginal tax rate is today high even by European standards. So you might be wondering… if marginal rates on ordinary income are approaching (or even exceeding) Europe's, why has Europe always been able to extract a much greater share of GDP out of its economy in the form of government revenues? The answer is that Europe's *inframarginal* rates have always been much higher—meaning that Europe taxes its middle and lower-middle classes much more heavily than we do. The bulk of their welfare state, after all, is paid for by one-rate-fits-all value-added taxes and payroll taxes. The U.S. federal income tax code, by contrast, leaves the middle class pretty much untouched, while ramping up steeply at higher incomes.
Europe is not cutting its high personal tax rates and in the UK David Cameron is even boosting them. On the other hand, both Europe and the UK continue to cut their tax rates on *capital* income, so that over the last decade the U.S. has come to be regarded as a punitive outlier in its treatment of capital income. (Case in point, Cameron's proposed hike in the capital gains tax rate is the one hike that is not likely to be enacted.) In this new "age of austerity," Europe is following the brutal law of "efficient taxation," to use the economists' lingo. To wit, you raise tax rates on those who don't have a choice about whether or where to earn their income… and you lower tax rates on those who do. As the age of austerity worsens, European voters may insist that governments pin down and regulate the wealth and income of capital owners more rigorously so that they can tax capital at higher rates. We'll see. I can easily envision this happening in America. Even if the GOP wins big, I doubt that a more populist GOP party will make big cuts in capital gains or estate taxes a big priority.
As for the bond markets, it is true that the U.S. can borrow freely at very low interest rates and will probably continue to be able to do so unless or until the global economic situation becomes truly catastrophic. The reason is that, due to America's unique superpower status, bad news anywhere in the world (even here in the U.S.) causes people around the world to invest in U.S. bonds as a safe haven. So even our own bad decisions cause only others to suffer. Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (former Finance Minister of France), in a closely related context, once called this America's "exorbitant privilege." Other countries do not have this privilege. So the UK, Japan, France, and Germany all have to take bold measures against the specter of fiscal insolvency lest the same thing happens to them (sudden hikes in interest rates, and a bond market crash) that has happened now to several of the PIIGS countries.
This explains why—to bring the discussion back around to turnings—America may be the last place in the world to experience the "age of austerity," that is, to experience the 4T mood in its full economic brutality. To America, and to America alone, there seems to be no penalty at all to endless borrowing at zero interest rates… and if that is so, then why do any of us need to worry? Of course, I may be mistaking here the opinions of America's elites (e.g., Paul Krugman) for the opinions of ordinary citizens. The midterms may be very revealing in this regard. I've had several opportunities in the last few months to visit cities in the Midwest. In each of them, I ask my hosts, what issues really concern local voters in the midterms? And they say, the huge and growing federal deficit. And then I say, yes, of course, sure, but what do they *really* worry about? And then the hosts say, no, honestly, they are *really* worried about the country going bankrupt. I found these conversations very ominous and very [4T]. Bankruptcy is all in the eye of the beholder. If most people come to view an institution or government as insolvent, a landslide of distrust, hedging, aversion, falling confidence, and nonparticipation begins to feed on itself until, in the end, the institution or government does indeed become insolvent. Most Americans believe that their government cannot continue to borrow for long without toppling off the brink. That becomes an important social fact, regardless of the opinion of the Council of Economic Advisors.

New Small Town Main Street chairman named
By Bonnie Edwards
Published in News on August 4, 2005 1:45 PM
MOUNT OLIVE -- Stephanie Kornegay is the Small Town Main Street project's new committee chairman.
She replaces former chairman Patti O'Donoghue, who resigned her position with the committee as well as her job as president of the Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce to write a novel.
The committee is in its third year revitalizing downtown Mount Olive under the guidance of Commerce Department officials Bob Murphrey and Evangeline Ezeilo. Murphrey and Ezeilo are training Mount Olive and three other towns that began the pilot program to carry on the work they have begun.
"If we've done a decent job, you'll be able to continue on your own with meeting occasionally," Murphrey said. He promised to keep in touch through phone calls and emails and not leave the town "in a lurch."
The committee in its first two years has prompted property owners downtown to clean alleys and paint buildings. New businesses have opened, and some have closed. But Murphrey praised the group for helping bring about a net gain of five businesses and eight jobs. The town also received a grant to beautify the 200 block of Center Street to look more like the 100 block.
Ms. O'Donoghue said Murphrey and Ezeilo have been "the catalyst to make things happen."
Promotions Subcommittee Chairman Charles Brown said downtown events have been successful, including one contest to get art to display in downtown windows that drew 700 entries from artists around the area. Only 30 entries were expected, he said.
Brown resigned as subcommittee chairman. Patsy Joyner of the Ruffles and Bows dress shop agreed to take his place.
In other leadership changes, David Kornegay stepped down as chairman of the Economic Restructuring Subcommittee to devote more time to his new post as president of the Mount Olive Committee of 100, and Jerry Gardner of Southern Bank agreed to take his place.

The Trimble County Lady Raiders opened play in the All A Classic Wednesday morning with a 35-23 defeat of Presentation Academy out of Louisville. The game marked the fourth appearance in the prestigious tournament for small schools for a Trimble County girls' basketball team.
The Lady Raiders ran out to a quick 12-5 advantage in the first eight minutes of play behind sharpshooting sophomore Bailey Duke who scored 13 of her game-high 15 points in the first half, including nine points from beyond the three-point arc.

Special to The Trimble Banner
Over the weekend, the Trimble County High School cheerleaders experienced an entirely new concept: teaching. This past Saturday the squad held a cheer camp at the high school for the benefit of young girls and, possibly, future cheerleaders in the form of a fundraiser, which also helped to raise money for the squad's endeavors.
Trimble County's Lady Raiders held off a determined Gallatin County team Monday to advance in the Eighth Region All A tournament held in Warsaw.
Trimble hit 34 percent from the field and converted all seven free throw attempts while Gallatin shot a miserable 18 percent from the field.
Kaylee Clifford scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Lady Raiders. Bailey Duke scored 5 while Cheyenne Riddle and Karli Tilley each scored 4. Abby Ponder added 2.

Today I will show you how to create an amazing piece of life under a microscope :) and using only three resource! In this tutorial I'll show how to transform 3D in a realistic DNA and create a whole picture of it. We pay attention to blending modes and work with a variety of tools and effects. I want to show you one of the creative solutions both in the establishment and in the decision. We will start to create this photo manipulation by transforming DNA. In this section you will learn about working with blending modes and adjustment layers. Then begin to create photo manipulation. In this part, we will work with a variety of tools and create a Bokeh brush. The final picture is to add adjustment layers and effects. You need any version of Photoshop and any knowledge.
Tutorial Resources
Step 1
Create a new document. Go to File > New or the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ N. A blank document with size of 2000 pixels wide and 3000 pixels high, resolution 200 Pixels/Inch.
Step 2
We did not immediately proceed to manipulation. First we will create a new kind of DNA and first need to prepare the background. Take a Gradient Tool (G) and set following settings: Form: "Foreground to Background", Method: Radial, Opacity: 40%, Foreground color: # 3092bf and Background color # 093554.
Step 3
Create a New layer (Layer > New > Layer or Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift + N or use icon on Layer panel). Draw the gradient as shown in the image below.
Step 4
We now proceed to the DNA itself. Go to File > Place (Place Embedded) and select the image "blue_dna_by_reby_c-d3ia7s9".
Step 5
Use a Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) to select a big DNA. Then add a Layer mask to remove small DNA.
Step 6
Use the Free Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd+T or Edit > Free Transform) to resize the layer like shown in the image below.
Step 7
We shall now proceed to the most interesting. We will take the usual 3D and turn it into a real and live macromolecule! To do this, we need to Duplicate a DNA layer (Cmd/Ctrl+ J or Layer > Duplicate Layer) 4 times.
Step 8
Now we will apply a variety of effects from the upper layer to the DNA to the last. Let's start from the upper layer and work our way to the last (it is desirable not to change the sequence). For the first layer, add several artistic filters to make the outer shell of the DNA. Go to Filter > Filter Gallery…
Step 9
So, add the first filter "Dry Brush" in folder "Artistic". Set the settings like shown in the image below and add a new effect layer. This effect layer make texture on DNA.
Step 10
Add a second filter "Accented Edges" in folder "Brush Strokes". Set the settings and add a new effect layer. This layer mare more detailed and deep texture.
Step 11
And the last filter is "Bass relief" in folder "Sketch" Set the settings and press Ok to apply filters. This filter will make the molecule in the form of bas-relief, but do not worry, we will not leave it like this.
Step 12
Change Blending mode to "Linear Burn", set Opacity: 46%. Linear Burn mode, the brightness of the original image is reduced by the amount of darkness (brightness deviation from white) image correction. In terms of the Curves – a shift in the curve on the value of the correction image of darkness.
Step 13
Therefore, the image looks a bit dark, but add to it adjustment layer "Curves" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves… or click on Adjustment Layer icon on Layer panel). Set values to each point as shown in the image below. This layer, we lighten the image, while maintaining its texture.
Set this layer as Clipping mask (click on Curves layer RMB and select "Create Clipping Mask" or use Option/Alt+ Cmd/Ctrl + G or click on the icon of a square with an arrow, as shown in the previous image).
Step 14
Now, proceed to next layer with DNA. For it, set a Blending mode "Darker Color". Similar to Blending mode "Darken" (Compares two source values and replaces light pixels values of the dark), except that it works on all layers at once, instead of one. When you mix the two layers will remain visible only dark pixels. In our case, this layer will be the basis for the centers in every sphere of DNA.
Step 15
Now, for the remaining two layers DNA, set a Blending mode "Luminosity" and Opacity: 50%. This Blending mode opposed to "Color". Combines Luminance (light) of the upper layer and Hue (color) and Saturation (color variations) of the lower layer. It turns out that glow, which we did in the previous two layers amplify and create one almost transparent distance between the center of the molecule and the glow edge. Because blue background and the previous layer (which just increased the dark areas in the center), the center of our molecules have become smoother and more expressed.
Step 16
Now we are a bit remove the previous effect. Because a strong contrast of center and edge does not look of realistic. Besides it is necessary to reduce the center. To do this I use adjustment layer "Hue/Saturation" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation…). This layer should be above two "Luminosity" layers of DNA and set Opacity: 25%. Set the settings like shown in the image below.
Select Brush Tool (B) with settings Size: 80px, Hardness: 100%, Opacity: 100%. On a mask of adjustment layer "Hue/Saturation" remove effect from rod of DNA.
Look at my result. In my opinion looks good. I will integrate all segments of DNA into one group (Cmd/Ctrl + G or Layer > Group Layers).
Step 17
Begin to create texture on DNA and work on them of realistic. The first thing we will revise a little brightness, contrast of the entire molecule and dark portions of DNA. Add the first adjustment layer "Brightness/Contrast" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast…. Increase brightness and reduce the contrast as shown in the image below. Be sure to apply this layer as Clipping mask (Option/Alt+ Cmd/Ctrl + G).
Next adjustment layer is "Selective Color" . We need only black colors to lighten up a little center of the spheres.
Step 18
Now you can apply a texture. We do it by means of Photoshop. Create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift+ N), press D then X to set Background color on black and use Cmd/Ctrl + Del to fill it black color.
Add to this layer a filter "Clouds" (Filter > Render > Clouds). This will be the basis of our texture. Convert this layer for Smart Filters (Filter > Convert for Smart Filters).
Step 19
Now add filters, go to Filter > Filter Gallery. So, add the first filter "Dry Brush" in folder "Artistic". This filter will help to soften the texture, which will make the best overlay of the next filter. Set the settings like shown in the image below and don't forget add a new effect layer.
But this filter does all the texture. Select filter "Accented Edges" in folder "Brush Strokes". Set the settings and press Ok.
Change a Blending mode to "Soft Light" and set Opacity: 70%. Make this layer as Clipping Mask (Option/Alt+ Cmd/Ctrl + G).
Step 20
There is not much to brighten dark areas of the molecule, to balance it out a little color. Create a New layer (Layer > New > Layer or Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift + N) with such settings: Mode: Overlay, set check box on "Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray)". To Brightening applied only to select DNA (hold Cmd/Ctrl, ckick on any DNA layer). Take a Dodge Tool (O) with there settings: Size: 175px, Exposure: 30%, Range: Midtones.
Draw light on DNA as shown in image. Try do not make strong light on edge of DNA because it will look realistic. Just a little bit, to give the effect of light. To deselect use Cmd/Ctrl+ D or go to Select > Deselect.
Step 21
DNA are ready and you can start create a picture. First, we need will integrate all the layers into a single molecule, because if we change the background and add other effects of its form to be constantly changing, and we need it in this form. Select all DNA layers and Background, go to Layer > Merge Layers or use Cmd/Ctrl+ E or click RMB on any layer and in list, select Merge Layers.
Use Magic Wand Tool (W) to select background. Hold Shift to add other parts to selection. Inverse selection (Shift+ Cmd/Ctrl + I), then add a layer mask to remove background.
Step 22
Now add a new background. Go to File > Place, select image "rain_texture1_by_koko_stock-d63l05s". Texture layer must be under a layer of DNA. Use Free Transform Tool (Cmd/Ctrl + T) to resize layer as shown in image.
Step 23
Now create a floating molecules. First we need to duplicate one fragment of DNA chains. Use Elliptical Marquee Tool (M) to select one molecule as shown in image. Red dot shows where you need to start to give off the molecule. Try to not add background into selection. Use Cmd/Ctrl+ J or Layer > Duplicate to duplicate fragment (Be sure to select the layer with the DNA).
Step 24
First we will create the molecule in background. It would be a bit tedious process, because you need to duplicate the molecules change their size and siting in the working document :). To quickly duplicate use Move Tool (V), hold Option/Alt and move molecule in the right place. Use Free Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd+T or Edit > Free Transform) to change the size of the molecules, turn their bright side to the bright spot on the texture and are placed them in unusual places. So you will be able to achieve realistic and add dynamics to the picture. Hold Shift+ Option/Alt to proportional transformation.
Now merge all the layers of background molecules in a single layer (Layer > Merge Layers or Cmd/Ctrl+ E), but leave at least one layer of a molecule because it is useful to us later.
Convert this layer for Smart Filters (Filter > Convert for Smart Filters) and add filter "Gaussian Blur" (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur…). Set Radius: 25px. So we can create a volume for the image.
Step 25
Necessary to impose light and shadow. Although the molecule and blurred, but is and why they should match the lighting. Create a New Overlay-neutral layer (Layer > New > Layer or Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift + N). Use Dodge Tool (O) and Burn Tool (O) with there settings: Size: 175px, Exposure: 30%, Range: Midtones. Apply light and shadow relative bright spot on the texture (light source). In image green is light, red is a shadow and set this layer as clipping mask (Option/Alt+ Cmd/Ctrl + G).
Group all layers (Cmd/Ctrl + G), name it "Background", then move the layers with the DNA and one molecule outside a group.
Step 26
Now create a molecule of the first plan. Repeat steps 24-25 and position of the molecule as shown in image. Do not leave the layer with the molecule and for "Gaussian Blur" change Radius to 9.0px.
Step 27
Let's create a depth of field for molecules. Take a Brush Tool (B) with Size: 200px, Hardness: 0%, Opacity: 40%. Remove the on filter mask of a blur effect from the illuminated parts of the molecules, but not from all.
Need a little darken molecules that are located near the edges of the image. Create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift + N) above the Overlay-neutral layer, set it as clipping mask (Option/Alt+ Cmd/Ctrl + G). Use Brush Tool (B) from the previous point, draw darkness as shown in image. Set Opacity for this layer to 54%
Step 28
For now work with molecules is completed and you come back to the creation of a background. Place file "chemistry_by_mariasemelevich-d7xq5kv" (File > Place (Place Embedded)) in group "Background". Set Blending mode to "Overlay" and Opacity: 70%. To make this texture white, add adjustment layer "Invert" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Invert…).
Duplicate this texture twice (Cmd/Ctrl+ J) without adjustment layer and move it above adjustment layer "Invert". Reduce the size of both layers (Ctrl/Cmd+ T) and position them as shown in image below. I merged the two layers in one (Cmd/Ctrl + E) and set the Blending mode "Overlay".
Step 29
Now I'll create a texture on the molecules to create the effect of movement and space. Create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift + N), fill it black color (Cmd/Ctrl + Del). Go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise… and set following settings; Amount: 25%, Distribution: Gaussian and set checkbox on "Monochromatic".
Increase texture proportionally to 200% (Cmd/Ctrl+ T), so that the noise particles become more and convert it for Smart Filters.
Create the effect of motion of these particles. Go to filter > Blur > Motion blur… Set Angle: 31, Distance: 19px. Set Blending mode "Screen" and Opacity: 65 %.
Step 30
Now reduce the noise density of the particles and change their color. At first, change the color. Add adjustment layer "Hue/Saturation" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Hue/Saturation…). This layer we will paint the noise that he did not stand out of the picture and reduce the brightness. Be sure that set chekbox "Colorize".
Next adjustment layer is "Levels" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels…). This layer, we remove the black and gray of the texture and increase the amount of white noise to transform in flying pieces and had a clearer form.
Here's my result. You should get something like that.
Step 31
Now proceed to draw part of this tutorial. Now we will create a Bokeh brush. Go to tab "Brush" on right panel. Set following settings on each tab. As bases, use hard brush. First, we need to increase the distance between the brush to circles were not crowded. Then change the value of the allowable size of the brush has become diverse in size.
On the next tab, you do spread to the brush was not a single line, and be as small cloud. The final tab, we change the value of the permissible opacity to each circle had a different meaning transparency. So it will be a little volumetric. Save this brush by clicking on icon "Create new brush" in lower right corner.
Step 32
Now draw a Bokeh diagonal line in lower right corner on a new layer. Use color # 57d4f3. Do not bokeh strongly dense.
Now a little effects. Convert this layer for Smart Filters and add filter Gaussian Blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur…). Set Radius: 7.0px.
Add a style "Outer Glow" (Layer > Layer Style > Outer Glow… or use icon on Layer panel). In the window that appears, set the color # 69c6ff, Opacity: 61%, Spread: 0%, Size: 38px. Set o this layer Blending mode "Soft Light".
Step 33
Now on the two new layers I drew bokeh on center of the image. For the first layer Blending mode "Soft Light", use brush, created in Step 31 with there settings: Size: 6px, Opacity: 40%, Color: white. Draw on almost the entire image except the edges.
For the second layer Blending mode "Soft Light", Opacity: 52%. Settings for Brush: Size: 20px, Opacity: 55%, Color: white. Draw along the DNA and a little bit in the center of the picture.
Step 34
All done! Since we finished painting and now it is necessary to add only two adjustment layers to make the image colors more rich and interesting visual effects. First adjustment layer is "Color Lookup" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Lookup…). In Properties, set checkbox on 3DLUT file and select "FoggyNight.3DL". Set Opacity: 70%. The image will appear with a little gray tint, but it's in our favor.
Use Brush tool (B) (Size: Opacity: 100%, Hardness: 0%) to remove effect from center of image and the illuminated side of the molecules, on mask of this adjustment layer.
Step 35
The next adjustment layer will be the same "Color Lookup" but we change 3DLUT file on "filmstock_50.3dl". Set Opacity: 61% for this adjustment layer.
And it's the last thing we do. Picture is done! You can try to experiment with color and with all that you want. After all, you are an artist! Go for it!
