He's her "rock."
A weary but devoted Mark Kelly has kept a constant vigil at the bedside of his wife, Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, at the hospital where she was rushed after being shot in the head during a demonic gunman's rampage.
Kelly, a NASA astronaut, has barely moved from Giffords' side, where he's often seen sitting quietly next to her bed, gently holding her hand as she lies in the intensive-care unit at University Medical Center in Tucson.
He takes only short breaks for food, to go to the restroom or to visit Giffords' staffer Pam Simon, the pol's community-outreach director, who was also shot in Saturday's siege.
"He has not left the hospital," said C.J. Karamargin, Giffords' communications director.
"Mark has been a rock. He's making sure his wife gets the best medical care."
For now, it appears his steady presence is helping.
Giffords, who was in a medically induced coma, opened her eyes for the first time yesterday — including once for 30 seconds — as her overjoyed family and congressional colleagues looked on.
"The doctors couldn't believe it. They said this is such a good sign," Giffords' close friend, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), told the Arizona Republic newspaper.
In an emotional moment, Kelly asked his wife to touch his wedding ring.
"She started doing that. She just started rubbing his arm," Schultz said. "It was the most incredible experience that I've ever had."
Trauma surgeon Dr. Peter Rhee said the congresswoman "is getting better every day."
"She was able to actually feel her wounds herself . . . We are very happy," he said.
"Every day from now until the weekend is the time that if something was going to go bad, it would happen around this time period. Nothing has happened."
Medical experts agree that Kelly's loving, unwavering presence could be a reason his wife is progressing so remarkably well.
"It's absolutely essential," said Mary Hibbard, a neurorehabilitation psychologist at NYU Langone Medical Center.
"Often when people emerge from coma, they'll tell you stories of how reassuring it was to hear voices of loved ones."
When someone is in a coma, they are often confused and completely disoriented in the brief moments they have during consciousness.
"If you come into the moment and see a loved one, hear a familiar voice, it reminds you of where you need to go back to," said Dr. Stephan Mayer, director of neurocritical care at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center.
"Those little glimpses of the life that you're away from, I think it makes a world of difference."
By nearly all accounts, the life that Giffords is away from — and the one that she created with Kelly — is pretty remarkable.
They met in 2003 on a trip to China with the National Committee on US-China Relations.
At the time, Kelly was married with two kids and living in Houston. Giffords, an Arizona native, had a boyfriend.
A friendship was born, and the two kept in touch through e-mail.
When Kelly divorced his wife, Giffords coached him back into the singles scene, even advising him on how to treat women he dated.
For one unusual get-together, Giffords invited Kelly to tour an Arizona state prison. She was working on death-penalty legislation and figured that Kelly, the son of a police officer, would enjoy the trip.
She later joked he was interested only in sitting in the electric chair.
By the time Giffords ran for Congress in 2005, things were starting to heat up.
After surmounting the difficulties of a long-distance relationship, Kelly, now 46, and Giffords, 40, were married in 2007 at an organic-produce farm in her home state of Arizona.
In keeping with the green theme, the bride wore a recycled Vera Wang wedding dress, borrowed from a pal.
Inside her wedding ring, Kelly — a veteran of three space flights — inscribed, "You're the closest to heaven that I've ever been."
Friends say they are perfect together — accomplished in their own fields and able to enjoy the smaller things in life together.
"Each one is gifted in what they do. It brings them together tremendously," said a friend of Kelly from Houston, who declined to give his name.
Kelly is scheduled for a flight on the space shuttle Endeavour in April, but because of his wife's condition it is unclear if he will join the mission.
"It is just too early to speculate," NASA spokeswoman Nicole Cloutier-Lemasters told Space.com.
Before the shooting, Giffords had spoken of the nervousness she felt seeing her husband launched into space.
"I'm always on pins and needles wondering, will this be the last conversation I am going to have with my husband?" she told The Daily Beast in an interview last year.
But it was Kelly who faced his worst nightmare Saturday — when he first got the news in Texas that his wife had been shot.
He rounded up his kids, took a friend up on a generous offer of a private jet and rushed to get to Giffords' bedside.
But midway through the gut-wrenching flight, Kelly saw a TV report — false, but devastating — that his wife had died of her wounds, a friend told The Post yesterday.
Although Kelly spoke to his gravely injured but conscious wife by phone immediately after the carnage, for a miserable few minutes he believed she had died.
Kelly grabbed the plane's satellite phone to call the hospital, where doctors assured him his wife was still alive.
"[They said] I know for a fact it's not true," the friend said. "They said 'Gabby's in surgery.' "
The horrible mistake mortified Kelly, a shuttle commander who flies to Arizona regularly to see his wife, a third-term congresswoman.
But it wasn't just Kelly blindsided by the erroneous reports.
His twin brother, Scott Kelly — also an astronaut, who is currently on board the International Space Station — also heard news that Giffords died, the friend said.
Scott Kelly made frantic calls to the family from space and learned that the reports were wrong.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 topped the uSwitch Mobile tracker for a second consecutive month in June, leading a Samsung charge that saw the phone-maker's Galaxy range dominate the top five.
Samsung's flagship phone retention of the top spot means the iPhone 4S in has been relegated to the second spot in the tracker, which aggregates clicks, sales and searches, for the second month in a row.
Capping Sammy's continued strong showing were top-five places for the evergreen Samsung Galaxy S2 (3rd) and the Samsung Galaxy Ace (5th) – news that's sure to console the phone-maker after its courtroom contretemps with Apple recently saw the Galaxy Nexus disappointingly, temporarily withdrawn from sale.
Just behind them is the five-million Samsung Galaxy Note phablet that continues to defy projections that its appeal was restricted to a niche market to claim sixth place.
Elsewhere, while resolutely not setting the smartphone world alright, the HTC's One X held fast at position four, while its mid-range stablemate, the One S, advanced a place to seal seventh spot.
And completing the line-up is the Nokia Lumia 800, the iPhone 4 16GB edition and the entry-level iPhone 3GS 8GB model, which placed at eighth, ninth and tenth respectively.
Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at uSwitch.com, said: "Samsung is clearly flavour of the month for smartphone consumers, and after its launch in May the excitement surrounding its Galaxy S3 has not yet died down. And now that supply chain problems during launch have been solved, the phone's place as a top seller has been cemented for a second month.
"The enduring popularity of the iPhone 4S is undeniable - it remains the UK's second biggest selling phone for June. However, buzz following details regarding the iOS 6 software update actually saw interest in the 4S wane, with consumers sitting tight in anticipation for the inevitable smartphone sequel.
"While Taiwanese phone maker HTC continues to be a major player in the market, the manufacturer's new trio of handsets have had limited success, with only the flagship One X really securing a place in consumers' minds and pockets and holding onto the 4th spot.
Doku added: "Filtering into the value market, the Nokia Lumia 800 has actually seen a return to the Mobile Tracker. Following the widespread release of the Lumia 900 at the end of May, the 800 subsequently saw reductions in price, with consumers opting for the more affordable of the two Windows-powered devices."

EPA and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have struck a deal that would hand responsibility for reducing water pollution entirely to the state.
The announcement is the latest in a perennial battle fought by environmentalists, EPA and Florida over establishing numeric pollution limits for nutrients.
Previously, Florida, like most other states, had relied on "narrative standards" aimed at limiting algae blooms and fish kills. Environmentalists insist that narrative standards are not protective enough, and they sued.
EPA signed off in Nov. 2012 on a state rule setting numeric limits on nutrients in springs, lakes, streams and some estuaries. Environmentalists, though, said this leaves 85 percent of state waters unprotected, so EPA proposed its own rule for the remaining water bodies and to comply with a 2009 consent decree between the agency and conservation groups.
In the agreement, the state would adopt additional rules and propose new legislation in exchange for EPA withdrawing its proposed rules.
The draft legislation would require the state DEP to set limits by Dec. 1, 2014, on phosphorus and nitrogen for the remaining coastal and estuarine waters that its current rule does not cover.
It also would codify nutrient standards in ditches and canals.
The agreement was publically hailed by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Florida DEP Secretary Herschel Vinyard Jr., and the Florida Farm Bureau.
Environmental groups believe the agreement will leave the vast majority of Florida waters unprotected and contend that EPA has changed its position about what it will take to ensure the health of Florida waters.
Agricultural groups have been carefully monitoring this situation in Florida, as well as the Chesapeake Bay Initiative, as EPA attempts to reduce nutrient loads — which are legally tricky actions because the Clean Water Act gives the federal agency no jurisdiction over non-point sources, but instead authorizes the states to implement best management practices to deal with them.

Investors continued to price in expectations of stronger growth and rising inflation after the US presidential election in November. US growth data showed its largest increase in two years while consumer confidence soared to a fifteen-year high, raising hopes of self-reinforcing improvement in business and labor market conditions. Critics point to granular economic data suggesting lower growth and note that "animal spirits" have seldom led to sustained increases in real economic output. Current valuations are far from cheap and excessive optimism generally leaves equity markets vulnerable to sell-offs.

All truth about Germans and Austrians
Friday, 28 October 2011
What I think about Germans and Austrians:
First of all if Franz Ferdinand (An Austrian) would take over Bosnia from Serbia the black hand gang wouldn't be forced to the terrorist attack and there would not be the WWI. And then if not Hitler(Also an Austrian) wouldn't exist there would not be WWII. Austrians and Germans were always the world problem.
Germans always wanted Slavic countries to be argued with each other because they knew that together we can be super strong.
Germany actually persuaded Croatia and Slovenia to become independent.That aided to the Yugoslavian conflicts.Then Macedonia and Bosnia+Herzegovina took example of them and it aided to the Bosnian War.Because of Germany Yugoslavia collapsed.
Same with Czechoslovakia.They persuaded Slovaks to become free of Czechs.
When they will want to invade Europe again they will take country after country much quicker.I'm sure they also want Silesia to be independent. Why they don't want Lusatia to besome independent or Bavaria ?Because it will of course be worse for them. They are so selfish.
At the history they were telling Russia to be destroying Poland together with them etc. And they surely persuaded Croatia to be on their side because again they wanted to seperate Slavs.And loads of other things.
If they would never exist the world would be much, much, much more beautiful.

Because we also started hating data portals. As a purveyor of one, I know its a bold statement to make.
But as a company born of open data, we've spent the past four years not only deploying but hacking on open data portals of all kinds. Actually, all our early experiments – from NYCDataWeb, to NYCFacets, to NYCpedia, were attempts at improving data portals – by linking, contextualizing and humanizing data.
Because as Mark Headd points out, we know we can do a lot better.
So instead of railing against the state of open data, we decided to build CivicDashboards.
A Data Portal is just One Step of Many
A data portal does not an open data program make. If that was the case, then you can just install CKAN Multisite, or even set it up as a blog post and be done with it.
It involves far more – building connections to data silos (ETL); enriching, sanitizing, linking and contextualizing the published data; building knowledge products with actionable information from the data.
And that's just the tip of the technical iceberg – there's far harder stuff. Marshalling the political will to publish open data; building and funding teams to steward open data innovation inside government; getting buy-in from the various custodians of data; empowering data custodians with the incentives, tools and training to proactively contribute data; all while navigating the broken government procurement process that effectively discourages innovation and the requisite experimentation that comes with it.
With CivicDashboards, we aimed to address all these:
Open Data with Open Source
Imagine if the Web was not made available freely. Would we have all the modern web-based conveniences, businesses and business models we have now? Or will we still have walled gardens like Prodigy, Compuserve, AOL and Minitel? Will Wikipedia, Google, Facebook and smartphones be around? Will the whole concept of "the Cloud" even exists?
We believe that Open Data will only realize its full potential if the base infrastructure that supports it is also Open. That's why we chose CKAN as a core component of CivicDashboards.
Already, CKAN powers the largest data portals in the world, and it has a vibrant, active ecosystem, with hundreds of extensions developed by the community, all innovating , collaborating and competing with each other without needing to sign a license agreement, or asking for permission.
Because having an API is just not enough. Having full open source access gives you the freedom to change everything and anything – the freedom to integrate best-of-breed tools, to use different authentication schemes, to create and share custom schemas, to store datasets in third-party cloud infrastructure, to create API-compatible solutions like DKAN, to address the gaps that Mark pointed out, and yes, to install CKAN on-premise yourself without signing a contract.
To stand on the shoulders of the global CKAN community as we have with CivicDashboards.
GovTech vs CivicTech
We also realized that Ontodia was primarily in the business of GovTech, not CivicTech – the difference being GovTech is mission-critical government infrastructure, and CivicTech, is the subsuming wider field of technology applied to civic problems.
One perennial criticism of civictech is "solutionism" – especially in the realm of hackathons and app challenges. As a product of one, we know first hand that a lot of governments hesitate to deploy "apps" from these events largely because of sustainability.
Is there a company behind this app? Who else is using it? Does it conform to our mission-critical requirements? Can we customize it to support all our citizens – will it be multi-lingual, accessible and mobile-friendly? Is it backed by a Service Level Agreement? Will the technology be around next year? Five years from now? Are there multiple vendors supporting the technology? Or are we locked in and have to sole-source all follow-up work?
Open Source!?! What is the quality of the code? Who else is contributing to the project? Our developers are busy with production issues and cannot be expected to compile the latest version and manually apply patches. What is my Total Cost of Ownership when I have to hire an expensive development team to maintain our deployment?
These questions have been asked before in another realm of mission-critical open source – Linux.
So similar to what RedHat did for Linux, Ontodia aims to do for CKAN.
#BuildWithNotFor also applies to GovTech vendors
Open Data is a Process. Ultimately, the success of Open Data is not going to be measured by the number of high quality, linked, machine-readable datasets in a portal, nor the number of Civic apps using that data.
As Stephen Goldsmith and Susan Crawford put it in the conclusion of their book – The Responsive City.
"The real payoff will come when technology changes legacy processes for good to create truly data-smart and responsive cities."
Great open data programs are only possible when the agencies publishing the data implements processes and enabling mechanisms that ensure the data stays current, relevant and responsive to its constituent's requirements. And those constituents include not only citizens and businesses, but other agencies as well, who surprisingly, often do not have ready access to their partner agency data.
As Anthea Watson Strong puts it on her screed – "Hey Uncle Sam, Eat Your Own Dogfood".
"The real problem behind our data quality issues, is that the people who have the power to fix the data, don't have an incentive to understand the problem or improve it. Government officials are lovely people who work hard in under-resourced offices. Although many of them believe deeply in transparency and citizen engagement, these portals tend to generate additional burdens that get in the way of their primary functions. When data is stale or data is inaccurate, someone has to take the time to update it or fix it. It is difficult for any one group to see beyond the limits of their own projects. The real trick is to align incentives. What we actually need, is for Uncle Sam to start dogfooding his own open data." (highlighting ours)
That's why we created our "Analytics-as-a-Service." Because after helping a client launch a data portal, we wanted to build with, not for our clients as they embark on their open data journey.
Not because we fancy ourselves as experts with ready-made, off-the-shelf solutions that we want to upsell to them, but because:
- we want to learn about the local issues, so we can become a better partner and help them employ the Data Scientific Method and formulate the questions that can be answered with their data
- we want our clients to answer low hanging questions faster by helping them focus on the hard task of opening data, while we focus on the secondary, though necessary task of data wrangling
- so we can help them create a showcase of open data powered answers, to generate buy-in from all stakeholders.
- so we can build-up each other's capacity. For us, to develop the product driven by real-world use cases; for our clients, so they can eventually wrangle data themselves instead of us doing all the wrangling for them.
To accelerate success, we maintain a Solution Template Library – pre-built Solution Templates including Crime Maps, Economic Activity Dashboards, Snowplow Trackers and open source projects like Citygram and Mapzen.
These Solution Templates often include Solutions developed by someone else, cherry-picked from other successful civic tech projects and best-of-breed commercial tools like CartoDB, Accela, Tableau and Necto, solving a similar problem.
And when we do develop or extend a new extension, as we've done with our CKAN Discourse Extension, the CitySDK CKAN Connector, and the OpenRefine CKAN connector, we add it to the Library, and when it makes sense, open source it as well so everybody wins.
Answering Questions often require 3rd-party Data
Ontodia has already compiled Key Place Indicators™(KPI) for all 3,000+ counties and 35,000+ townships/municipalities in the US, compiling maps and data from various high-value trusted sources like the U.S. Census, the Department of Labor Statistics, the FBI, etc. going back several years. Clients can use these KPIs and the data behind it to compute their own KPIs.
And as we've done with NYCpedia and data.beta.nyc, we can also wrangle data from other non-governmental public sources – like job postings in Indeed, hyperlocal news from DNAinfo, and curated, released FOILed data from news organizations like WNYC and the New York Times.
And with our Up-to-Data™ subscriptions, our clients can have continuing, up-to-date access to these datastreams. They can even commission custom feeds that further expands the datastream library.
So this is why we built CivicDashboards…
With the CivicDashboard suite, we offer a different path towards 21st Century government, building on the solid foundation of CKAN – the best open source data portal platform – we added all the other missing pieces to start putting open data to work.
Our novel approach of combining an open source data portal not only with enterprise support, but with performance management, analytics and data subscriptions, allow us the freedom to tap best-of-breed tools/techniques, and to #BuildWithNotFor our clients, partners and the CKAN community, all without artificially locking in our clients to a proprietary technology or the product roadmap of a single vendor.
We call this approach #OpenInfrastructure – Open Data with Open Source with Confidence.

American Idol Movie in the Works?Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Did Simon Cowell learn nothing with From Justin to Kelly?
The American Idol judge was not involved in that fiasco, which may explain why he still think a movie inspired by his hit reality show could be a success.
Enter Star Struck.
The film's plot is a hybrid of a fictionalized American Idol-like show and Alan Parker's 1980s' film Fame. Star Struck follows the lives of ten celebrity-hungry contestants as they pursue their fifteen minutes.
"The story is told through the eyes of those ten contestants,†Cowell said. "We want it to be the musical version of Rocky — an underdog story, a feel-good film. Fame was all about young people wanting to be famous, and in order to do that, they enrolled in a drama school; everyone who wants to be famous today signs up for American Idol.â€
To further the life-imitating-art-imitating-reality narrative, Star Struck will be cast via nationally held auditions and the film will open with Cowell presiding over potential candidates, just like those first weeks of Idol. Cowell is aiming for a summer 2008 release date.
Would you watch this?

As the price of crude oil rises on world markets, complaints from consumers, industries and politicians are also on the rise. Some blame the Organization of Petroleum Export Countries, the cartel known as OPEC, while others blame unrest in the Middle East and North Africa and still others blame market speculators.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has formed a Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force Working Group to look into possible fraud in energy markets, but the price may be driven more by investment trends.
Energy analysts see some of the usual factors driving oil prices this year, including increased demand in rapidly developing nations like India and China, restrictions on drilling in some areas like the eastern coast of the United States and unrest in oil-producing countries like Libya. But petroleum has also become a favored asset for investors looking for future profits and their dollars sometimes distort the market.
Most investment money these days, from individual investors as well as from institutions, charitable groups and even governments, is now in various types of managed funds. Tom Kloza of the Oil Price Information Service says the managers of those funds can have a big impact on commodity prices, including the price of oil.
"Probably no one is breaking any rules, but a couple of key strokes by a money manager can move millions and billions of dollars into a market, and affect the price of something which is a life blood for consumers and people on the margins of society all over the world," said Kloza.
He says governments can't eliminate all speculation from the market, but that some kind of regulation is needed, especially outside the United States.
"I think unfettered is unforgivable and oil futures markets, particularly offshore, are largely unfettered," he said.
Speaking at a meeting in Kuwait this week, OPEC Secretary General Abdalla El-Badri said world oil prices are now being driven more by speculation than supply and demand. Kloza and other analysts do not believe speculation plays a large role in the price rise, but they are not putting all the blame on OPEC either.
Saudi Arabia, the OPEC member nation with the world's largest reserves, has cut back on some of its production, thereby limiting supply and driving up prices, according to OPEC critics. But Tom Kloza believes OPEC leaders themselves are concerned about high prices.
"I think that many of the moderates, the doves within OPEC, are very uncomfortable with where prices are heading, because if we keep heading at this pace, we will open the door for some alternative technologies that would otherwise need subsidies or some sort of government give outs," said Kloza.
Some non-OPEC countries, particularly China, may be playing a big role in driving up oil prices and not just through their demand, according to Peter Zeihan, Vice President of Analysis at the global intelligence company Stratfor in Austin, Texas. He agrees with Kloza that investment in oil is the key factor, but he says the increase in money available to invest is also important.
"Back in the year 2000 the investing community as a whole made up about 10 percent of long positions in the oil market and now they are up to 40 percent," said Zeihan. "So you add that many new players and that much new money, but you do not add any more than a 10 percent increase in oil supply and, of course, you are going to have higher prices."
While that investment money comes from all over the world, Zeihan says one of the most significant contributors has been China, which takes in dollars from the United States and other nations that import its products. He says China has put much of that money into oil futures.
But the Stratfor analyst says the fundamental laws of supply and demand always win out eventually and then, as happened in 1998, 2001, and, most recently and dramatically in 2008, the price drops.
"Sooner or later the fundamentals are going to overpower the investor fervor," he said. "It happens every few years. Eventually the fundamentals will overpower any exuberance on the market and you will have a sudden, rapid sustained price drop over the course of a few weeks."
Zeihan is not predicting when that will happen. In the meantime, he sees signs that higher prices are encouraging more conservation and driving sales of fuel-efficient cars, but he does not see the development of an alternative to oil any time soon.
"In the United States we have proven that high prices were certainly exactly what was necessary to make hybrids very popular, but in terms of any other energy source, there is really nothing on the horizon," he said.
Zeihan says there is no other transportation fuel as dense in energy, as flexible and as easy to transport and use as petroleum. Natural gas from shale may help alleviate some of the U.S. demand, he says, but that will require a big investment in infrastructure. He says electric cars, recharged from power supplied by expanded nuclear plants, looked promising until the recent nuclear accident in Japan. For the foreseeable future, Zeihan says, the world depends on oil and consumers will have to put up with the frequent price fluctuations.

From Kingston, New York, USA:
I was told by a friend that there has been pancreas transplantation surgery performed before. Is this true, and who can I contact for more information in my area?
There have been many successful transplants both of whole organs and more recently of the insulin producing islets. There remains however the major problem that there are too few donors and more importantly, as far as young people are concerned, the transplants need to be protected by lifetime immunosuppression. In the years to come there is every reason to hope that these difficulties can be overcome and you should keep in touch with www.childrenwithdiabetes.com.
Additional comments from Jeff Hitchcock, CWD Founder and Editor:See www.insulin-free.org/index_pancreas.htm for more information about pancreas transplants.

The Hilton handicapping contest consensus results are in and very strong agreement bets have evolved for week 1 NFL picks. As is generally the case, road favorites rule the day insofar as Joey Bagadonuts favorite bets.
Miami Dolphins laying three-points at Washington Redskins has gotten 70 percent of wagers, followed very closely by Green Bay Packers -6.5 at the Chicago Bears with 68 out of every 100 bettors laying the lumber in the Windy City battle.
Sports handicappers are not buying into Rex Ryan turning around the Buffalo Bills, at least not in week 1 as the Indianapolis Colts, Buffalo's foe this week is favored by 66 percent of gamblers.
Joe Duffy and Peter Loshak give expert previews of week 1 NFL bets.
The most popular home team is the Arizona Cardinals at home to the New Orleans Saints with 65 percent. However, with home field advantage worth three-points, the fact that Arizona is laying only one-point means the public is actually backing the perceived inferior team, an uncommon tendency.
As far as totals bets, three unders, the Browns-Jets at 71 and the Panthers-Jaguars, and Chiefs-Texans both at 69 are tied with an over the Giants-Cowboys on Sunday Night Football as the most widespread over/under wagers.
The famed Hilton SuperContest has a different road chalk as the most popular bet: 664 contestants chose the Miami Dolphins over Washington laying 3.5. Aforementioned Arizona is next at 589. However, shockingly a road dog, the St. Louis Rams getting four to Seattle are next with 474 picks. The Jets and Packers round out the top five at 381 and 380.
Going back to preseason, Joe Duffy's Picks is 13-4 in the NFL and we are literally just getting started. We are 23-11 with all Wise Guys many being MLB underdogs and are 25-12 with all football since preseason.

Seniors Neel Kotrappa (La Verne, CA) and Zhenya Pereverzin (Clackamas, OR) earned the first and then clinching match wins of an 8-1 victory over #11 Concordia in their final regular season dual match at the Biszantz Family Tennis Center on Monday. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps improves to 23-1 overall and wil be the top seed in the SCIAC tournament at Cal Lutheran, May 2-3.
Kotrappa and partner Skyler Butts' (Santa Ana, CA) 19th win as a team this season put the Stags on the scoreboard first, closely followed by Pereverzin and partner Nik Marino's (Jr. - San Diego, CA) emphatic win at #2 doubles. With a 2-1 advantage heading into singles, CMS wasted little time in winning first sets at all six positions against their NAIA opponents.
Junior Warren Wood (Del Mar, CA) was the only Stag to face serious opposition. Playing in the top singles spot, Wood had to break serve down 5-4 in the first set, and then escape with a 7-4 win for his eighth singles tie-break win of the season. In the second set, Wood squandered a break serving at 4-3, but got himself in position to win his ninth tie-break without a loss, to close out the win for CMS. Freshmen Daniel Morkovine (San Carlos, CA) and Glenn Hull (Brookings, OR) met much less resistance from their opponents, winning in straight sets at the #4 and #6 positions respectively. Morkovine has now won thirteen straight dual matches and is 18-3 on the season, while Hull is a perfect 8-0 in duals and 13-1 on the season. Pereverzin's 6-3, 6-2 win at #5 clinched the dual for CMS, his team-leading fifth clinch of 2014.
Next up for the Stags is the 114th Annual Ojai Valley Tournament. Opening rounds in the 48 draw singles and 24 draw doubles begin on Friday at the Pierpont Racquet Club in Ventura. The action moves to the Thacher School in Ojai on Saturday for the round of 16 and quarterfinals of singles, and quarters and semis of doubles, before concluding at Libbey Park in Ojai with the semis and championship in singles, followed by the doubles final.

"Sam" Recovering From Digital Shrinkage - About.com
At the premiere for Blow, Sean Astin walked down the white carpet talking about his work in the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy. With regards to the digital shrinking technology the filmmakers will employ to make the actors look like Hobbits, Astin began his explanation with humor.
"I think I was digitally shrunk back there. I don't know if I've quite recovered from it. There are all kinds of amazing cinematomfoolery going on down in New Zealand. You want a yes or no answer to the question? Yes. What I've seen is amazing and they've got a lot more work to do before the films are finished."
Astin said Hobbits are supposed to be three feet, six inches tall, but since a movie screen makes that quite subjective, it remains for viewers to determine how the effect works. Regarding the literary adaptation itself, Astin was cagey, but said, "Any time you adapt a movie from a novel, there's going to be adjustments."

Franklin, MI (PRWEB) August 24, 2013
The Syrian Sunrise Foundation (SSF) condemns the deadly alleged chemical attack in Syria and calls for the intervention of the US administration, the UN and international NGOs. The SSF has received urgent calls for help from that area as scores need vital assistance.
Several of Damascus suburbs (Reef Dimashq) were hit by alleged chemical weapons. According to Al Jazeera report (Hundreds reported killed in Syria gas attack; August 21, 2013), the estimated number of death has surpassed 1,400 people. More lives are at risk if the world chooses to stand by idly. (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/08/201382163812810810.html)
In response, SSF has sent $100,000 for immediate healthcare assistance that will be delivered to Reef Dimashq (Damascus Countryside).
However, doctors on the ground in Reef Dimashq report that the current resources are not enough, and that local and field hospitals operate beyond full capacity.
The SSF urges the US administration to:
- Call for an immediate investigation of the alleged massacre
- Establish safe zones into Reef Dimashq to insure safe delivery of relief supplies
- Create reliable routes for humanitarian agencies to evacuate the victims
- Deliver more medical supplies and humanitarian aid through established Syrian American relief organizations.
We call upon generous donors to contribute towards our relief efforts at http://www.ssfusa.org.
SSF, established in 2011, is a US-based relief and humanitarian organization, whose focus is to facilitate humanitarian assistance for Syria and respond to emergency situations.

Erin Andrews rejects 50 Cent's kiss
50 Cent had a tough time getting to the Daytona 500.
Once he finally arrived, we had the first wreck of the day well before the race even started.
As FOX reporter Erin Andrews wandered around pit road trying to find Danica Patrick, awkwardly speaking to drivers in passing, she spotted the 37-year-old rapper.
MORE: Andrews can't find Danica Patrick
Curtis Jackson made a beeline for her and went straight in for the kiss. Andrews did her best to dodge and he wound up settling for her cheek. As she deflected the smooch, Andrews said "I've gotta go talk to Danica Patrick."
Hours later, he tweeted: "Hey I wanted to kiss her so I did"
Not a "P.I.M.P." move, 50.

This dog, often heralded as "The Designer Dog," is not, however, that to its owner. It is a funny, sometimes goofy, keen, furry, friendly, always interacting, well-loved member of its human family.
It often attends Doodle Romps, goes on vacation with its family, hikes, rides in boats, competes in agility, runs in off-leash parks, participates in reading programs, sleeps in the children's bedrooms, plows through the snow, dabs in mud, slips through the sand, swims, and becomes, to virtually all who own one, an endeared member of the family. Many are trained Service and Therapy Dogs. Some families have multiple Doodle kids!
Doodles come in large, medium and small, curly, tight, wooly, or wavy coat, and coats of many colors. Call the Doodle a mutt (grr), but it is also a truly wonderful cross of retriever and poodle with the best attributes of both. Ask any owner - you'll see! Spoiled (pat, pat) sometimes, but always returning love.
As with any other breed, serious medical care for Doodles over a lifetime could include cancer treatment, seizures, overwhelming disease, amputation, unexpected blindness, stroke, diabetes, all these and more. A fast car turning into the driveway unexpectedly meeting that loving body of a Doodle...yes, the unknown, unplanned for, medical event all of us fear.
Some owners have insurance, and some do not. Insurance does not cover bills in their entirety. There is no resource save the unexpected kindness of Doodle friends in so many of these cases. Should humane euthanasia be the only solution, we want owners to know someone cared and tried to help. This page, therefore, is only a messenger, bearing information on Doodles In Need and the location to mail or telephone a donation.

Many parents are looking for information about the best way to prepare their dog for life with baby.
Winnipeg, Manitoba (PRWEB) February 23, 2012
The Winnipeg Humane Society (WHS) announces the return of the popular dog training and dog behavior based program, Dogs & Storks to its list of education programs. This news comes on the eve of the Baby & Kids Show beginning Saturday, February 25 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.
Dogs & Storks is a trade-marked program that helps prepare the family dog for life with baby. Dogs & Storks is a two-hour workshop that provides essential information to help families prepare their dog for the dramatic changes that happen once a baby enters the family. Ideally this preparation begins as early as possible to provide as much opportunity for the dog to adjust.
"Many parents are looking for information about the best way to prepare their dog for life with baby," says Renee Will, licensed Dogs & Storks instructor. "Typically attention is focused on the family pet before a baby is born. It is quickly re-directed once the baby enters the home. This shift may create behavior issues with the dog. Dogs & Storks is designed to make the transition much smoother for the dog, demystify the process for new families, and create safe boundaries for parent, baby and dog."
Along with Dogs & Storks, The WHS offers a variety of educational programs for children of all ages such as Spring & Summer day camps, Pet Partners and Paws for Adventure. These programs teach children about animals and responsible pet ownership.
During both days of the show, WHS Meet and Greet dogs will be on-hand to meet with people and extend a paw to say hello. Volunteers will be available to answer pet adoption questions and provide information on how to adopt a WHS cat or dog. Families can also learn about the WHS Foster parent program and SNAP, the subsidized spay and neuter assistance program. These programs provide a temporary home for shelter animals before adoption and helps people on a limited income pay for spaying or neutering their pet.
The Baby & Kids Show begins on Saturday, February 25 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre and ends on Sunday, February 26. Doors open at 10:00 a.m. and close each day at 5:00 p.m.
About The Winnipeg Humane Society:
The Winnipeg Humane Society was founded in 1894 and has grown into the largest and most experienced animal welfare organization in Manitoba. Nearly 9,000 animals enter its shelter each year and are cared for by devoted staff and hundreds of volunteers. The Winnipeg Humane Society offers an extensive list of programs and services that contribute to its mission of protecting animals from suffering and promoting their welfare and dignity. The Winnipeg Humane Society strives to remain at the forefront of animal welfare throughout Manitoba.

DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES --Looks like some bad news for football fans. It will be a while before an NFL team comes to Los Angeles.
Friday is the mandated league deadline for teams to file for relocation next season. None are expected to do so, so none are coming to Los Angeles for at least another year.
Two stadium proposals await the prospective team. Farmers Field is ready to be built in downtown L.A., on the side of the Los Angeles Convention Center's West Hall, right next to the Staples Center and L.A. Live.
A competing stadium is proposed for the city of Industry.

First Horizon Corp., parent company of First Tennessee, lost 45 cents per share in the third quarter, after the bank found out it may have to buy back bad mortgages it had sold to Fannie Mae in the years leading up to the financial crisis.
The $200 million that the bank must add to its repurchase reserve drove a net loss of $107.5 million, compared to a gain of $25.8 million in the third quarter of 2012.
"Like we always do, we'll deal with our past when it happens, but we'll continue to focus on our future, which is bright," said BJ Losch, chief financial officer at First Horizon.
Without the forced repurchase of delinquent mortgages, First Horizon would have earned 19 cents, in line with Wall Street estimates and better than the 10 cents the bank earned in the third quarter of 2012.
The news sent shares of First Horizon tumbling 3.76 percent Friday to close at $11.01 per share, though the bank was buoyed by positive trends in other areas of its business.
In the course of the quarter, First Tennessee became the biggest bank by deposit share in the entire state of Tennessee, squeaking by Regions Bank with a 14.03 percent share, or $16.6 billion in deposits from $15.8 billion last year, according to the FDIC.
"We're pretty much dominating Hamilton County, which is about at 2 percent growth," said Keith Sanford, market president for First Tennessee. "Our two biggest competitors both shrunk."
Over time, the bank's pro-growth policy can lead to increased fees, more revenue, and more customers to cover the fixed cost of the bank's branch network. But like at many banks, revenues continued to fall during the quarter, shrinking 8 percent to $309 million during the quarter, due in part to an 8 percent decline in net interest income to $160.7 million.
While the bank is doing the best it can to bolster profits, some loss in top line growth is inevitable in the current environment, said Losch.
"Because of the economic environment, borrowers are cautious, therefore those opportunities aren't what we'd like them to be," Losch said. "On the flip side, the industry is changing, and regulation is coming out of Washington in a material way, which has taken a significant amount of revenue out of banks. You put all that in a bucket, and revenue is challenged."
Since all banks are facing the same pressures, First Tennessee has worked to lend to the best clients it can find, reduce expenses and grow net income, aside from one-time charges.
"Over the long term, we want to grow revenue, and we pay to grow revenue," Losch said. "I'd love to see new expenses go up related to new business that we're putting on the books, and that's going to happen one day."

There appears to be much needed a work on parliamentary law, based, in its general principles, upon the rules and practice of Congress, and adapted, in its details, to the use of ordinary societies. Such a work should give, not only the methods of organizing and conducting the meetings, the duties of the officers and the names of the ordinary motions, but in addition, should state in a systematic manner, in reference to each motion, its object and effect; whether it can be amended or debated; if debatable, the extent to which it opens the main question to debate; the circumstances under which it can be made, and what other motions can be made while it is pending. This Manual has been prepared with a view to supplying the above information in a condensed and systematic manner, each rule being either complete in itself, or giving references to every section that in any way qualifies it, so that a stranger to the work can refer to any special subject with safety.
s can be made, what is their order of precedence, which can be debated, what is their effect, etc., the common law of the land is settled by the practice of the U. S. House of Representatives, and not by that of the English Parliament, the U. S. Senate, or any other body.
While in extreme cases there is no difficulty in deciding the question as to whether the practice of Congress determines the common parliamentary law, yet between these extremes there must necessarily be a large number of doubtful cases upon which there would be great difference of opinion, and to avoid the serious difficulties always arising from a lack of definiteness in the law, every deliberative assembly should imitate our legislative bodies in adopting Rules of Order for the conduct of their business.* [Where the practice of Congress differs from that of Parliament upon a material point, the common law of this country follows the practice of Congress. Thus in every American deliberative assembly having no rules for conducting busin

News Release
|Boston Whaler's 7th Annual "Boatload of Backpacks"
Edgewater, Fla.

People watching from side-walk terraces had been a favorite pastime, but these active visits were right up my alley. My walks elsewhere had been solitary, now I was getting to know people as well as Seattle's seven hills, finding my way around Queen Anne, Phinney Ridge, and West-Seattle the way only walkers and cyclists do.
Talk about cyclists, being Dutch my main form of transportation back home had been a bike, yet in Seattle I couldn't get used to pedestrians passing me while I was struggling up hill on my bike. So I took to walking up and down the hills instead. Within a few months my Achilles tendon acted up, the verdict, no more walking uphill. A year after our arrival I called on my doctor complaining about sharp pains in my heels. He told me I had worn out my foot pads, taught me how to tape my foot, prescribed anti-inflamatory meds and told me not to walk downhill anymore because the shifting of weight on my feet caused to much friction. The solution? Take the longer route, zig-zag up or down hill, or taking the bus to level ground. Walk I would.
As a young stage designer I told a reporter friend who had invited me for an outing on his boat that I couldn't go, because I had to come up with a design concept for a play.
"Don't deprive yourself of outings, going for a walk, a bike ride, or an afternoon on the water. Your brain continues working on the project in the background, subconsciously you're solving any problem by not focusing on it, but doing something relaxing, or exercising."
That afternoon I chose to believe him, and I'm still thankful I did, for I learned an important lesson. Back in my studio after boating and dinner with strangers along the shore of the IJ, an idea popped up I had not thought of before. So, the outcome of a Stanford Study that walking improves creativity doesn't come as a surprise to me. But the same could be said for road and boat trips, or building costumes for that matter. Anything that transports you away from your familiar, whether for real or metaphorically, will trigger the little grey cells to do there work uncensored.
As for my feet, it took getting rid of high heels, years of physical therapy and exercise before the plantar fasciitis healed, but today's bouncy shoe soles make it possible to adhere to my credo:
When in doubt, go for a walkabout.

A warehouse or a storage compartment is generally owned by all urbanized homes due to space related problems faced in their daily lives. With the rise in population, tremendous amounts of space must be allocated and allotted for their daily needs. Example the availability of land reduces while their prices skyrockets at every given time. This simple economics has paved the way to new business opportunities exploited by the right minds.
Advantages of a storage or warehouse is not only important to residential criteria but also to organizations which require space to store their excess belongings. With limited space in a home, it is difficult to have it the way the owners need, thus the invention of mini storage Shatin come in handy any time. These storages are small and highly convenient both in its function and monetarily. Releasing family space in a home is based on the decision of needs and wants for the upcoming season, thus these storages allow customers to store any amount of goods in the rented space according to the customers wish. These storages are also known as self-service storages, which are commonly seen in forms of small storage compartments, containerized compartments and even lockers.
In layman terms, better storages spaces can reduce the cost of piling and can ensure peaceful living for both families and organizations. Advantages of storage spaces and warehousing is that these spaces are on rent basis thus owned by a land lord who must ensure the safe keeping of the goods, in an instance of disturbed or broken goods and lockers the land lord must take full responsibility for the losses. Further, the rent is short term, if the space allotted is not as per requirement the customer can always void the contract and move forward. With the liability off the hands off the customer hand, makes the entire experience both relaxing and convenient.
Moreover, household goods such as electric goods which are not I daily use, excess pots and pans, house warming gifts, old yet important documents, leisure equipment such as skate boards and roller skates, seasonal sporting equipment such as skiing equipment, surfing boards and seasonal clothing such as winter clothes and winter fur coats can be stored in these storage spaces.
Each and every storage system or self-service storage system has its own lock system ranging from physical lock and keys to electronic scanners for finger prints, retinal scanners and in certain instances facial recognition. These security solutions ensures that no trespassers can enter into the space under any circumstances.
Usually organizations make these storage spaces available in apartments, flats and housing schemes with limited space. Yet with the growing space limitations companies which carry out storage space related activities as their core business activity, have established different echelons of warehousing models to attract more and more customers.

Let's forgo any outraged rants about how Marvel has handled the resurrection of Steve Rogers and just state the facts regarding this Captain America: Who Will Wield the Shield? special. This issue, which answers the titular question about who will act as Captain America for the immediate future, has been released a month before the conclusion to the series purporting to bring Rogers back from the dead, weeks after a number of series have already shown him walking around the Marvel Universe both in and out of costume. Whether or not those things bother you on a fundamental level will likely determine how much you'll be able to enjoy this issue - there's really no getting around that.
The good news, even for those of you who can't quite get past how thoroughly Captain America: Reborn has been mishandled, is that this one-shot shows much of the same flair and nuance that's made so much of Ed Brubaker's run on Captain America so enjoyable. Brubaker again shows a great handle on Steve Rogers' voice and personality, even providing another flashback that works both on its own and as a window into Rogers' current predicament. Bucky again proves why he's been so fascinating to observe as Steve's uncertain replacement. The art, by Butch Guice and Luke Ross, is significantly more polished and impressive than the work of Bryan Hitch on Reborn, and even shows flashes of both Steve Epting and Jack Kirby.
More importantly – and perhaps most surprisingly – the issue does work to a certain extent as its own story. Once you accept and get over the idea that the circumstances of Steve's return are spoiled in the issue's recap page (if you indeed can), it is somewhat possible to accept this plot on its own terms. Haunted by his recent journey through his own past, Steve hits the town in costume to blow off steam. At the same time, Bucky decides to join Black Widow on one last romp as Captain America before handing the costume back to his mentor. The two cross paths when battling an escaped D-list villain, and in doing so, arrive at a surprising arrangement for who will wield the shield moving forward. The fact that the issue does indeed answer its titular question so definitively and logically is a big positive. Coupled with the level of craft shown by Brubaker and his artistic collaborators, that's almost enough to wash the bad taste of Reborn and Marvel's recent scheduling snafus out of one's mouth.
Sadly, the reality of the situation is that the biggest development in both the story of Steve Rogers' return and the state of the Captain America franchise moving forward occurs in a comic that has yet to be published, and is apologetically revealed in the issue's opening recap and a late-issue monologue by Rogers. That's tough to swallow no matter how exciting the development might be and no matter how well Brubaker navigates these unfortunate circumstances. I'm just glad Steve's back and free to walk around the Marvel Universe without spoiling any more stories, and hope his future adventures can someday make us forget how sloppily he was brought back into the fold.
