If you can't bring Amtrak to Des Moines, you might as well bring Des Moines to Amtrak. Amtrak is partnering with Arrow Stage Lines to provide a bus connection between Des Moines and the Amtrak stop in Osceola for the holiday season. The connections are available Dec. 18 to 20, and Jan. 11 to 13. The California Zephyr line that travels through Osceola connects to Chicago to the east and to the San Francisco area to the West, with stops in Omaha and Denver along the way. Rail advocates have pushed to get a passenger rail line to Des Moines, but a federal funding opportunity has been stalled in the Iowa Legislature. More information on the holiday bus service to Osceola can be found online.

TAMPA — Andrew Ference's fingers stayed down just like his shot, which gave the Bruins an insurance goal tonight.
Ference's slap shot from the left point went through a Chris Kelly screen and then through Tampa Bay goaltender Dwayne Roloson's 5-hole with 8:12 elapsed in the third period of Boston's 2-0 win at the St. Pete Times Forum.
With their win Game 3, the Bruins now lead the series 2-1.
Ference limited himself to a normal stick-raise salute as his goal celebration. Back in the first round, Ference famously gave the crowd in Montreal "unintentional bird" after a goal in the Bruins' Game 4 win. Ference got off with just a fine.
"I kept them down pretty good there. They all stayed down this time," said Ference about his fingers, especially his middle ones.
Ference and the rest of his teammates had been struggling to get shots through the Lightning defense early in the series. Tonight Tampa Bay blocked just nine shots, and one that avoided the Lightning's would-be blockers was his second goal of the playoffs.
"There's positives and negatives to it," said Ference about shot blocking. "Ask any goalie, and there's ones that go off shin pads, whether it hits one of their guys and sits there for a rebound or gets a deflection and goes in. It's nice to get blocks, but they cause goals too. So you throw enough at the net, you get lucky."
The always modest Ference chalked his goal up to luck, but there was skill involved too. Just no profanity this time.

Standoff at Orange Co. home ends
Wanted man taken into custody
Standoff at Orange Co. home ends
Wanted man taken into custody
ORLANDO, Fla. —
A wanted man was arrested Thursday after a standoff at an Orange County home.
Members of a SWAT team arrested the man before 11 p.m. at Tampa Avenue and 37th Street.
Officials said the standoff began while deputies were conducting a drug investigation, and the suspect jumped from his car and fled.
Investigators said the suspect handed the drugs off to another man and barricaded himself inside a home.
The neighborhood was placed on lockdown during the incident.
Deputies said a search warrant was obtained, but the suspect refused to surrender. They said tear gas was used, but he still wouldn't come out.
A decision was made later to enter the home and make the arrest.
There were no reports of injuries.

PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea (AP) — Papua New Guinea police say they are about to make their first arrests almost a week after a mob stripped, tortured and bound a woman accused of witchcraft, then burned her alive in front of hundreds of horrified people in the South Pacific nation's third largest city.
More than 50 members of the mob doused the 20-year-old mother with gasoline and then set her alight on a pile of car tires and trash in Mount Hagen last Wednesday. She had been accused of sorcery by relatives of a 6-year-old boy who had died in the local hospital the previous day.
Police spokesman Dominic Kakas on Tuesday said suspects had been identified through witness interviews. He said there will be as many as 50 arrests on charges of murder by Wednesday.

Last year I made a fabulous yoyo toss pillow for a couple of my favorite people for Christmas--and forgot to blog about it. So here ya go...
That's chocolate wool suiting underneath hand-made yoyos.
But, of course, I had to top it this year. It started with a yard of the print on the left.
Yards of batiks were added once a design was selected...
Then, after piecing a backing from scraps and an extra yard of red, coming out with a wobbly (i.e. not flat) top, wrestling with it through the baby Kenmore, and using the white glue trick for binding, I hand-stitched the last bit today.
And, huzzah, not even a month late!
Please note, this block is called the Star of the Magi, NOT "swoon". "Swoon" is, in my opinion, a knock-off. But the star of the Magi block isn't well known. I only encountered it in an Elm Creek Quilts novel, and I've had trouble finding reference to it elsewhere. However, these friends, as a couple, are collectively known as the Magi, and thus, no "swoon" would do.
|note the square print binding
The few bits not left from the backing were used in a pair of birds, my "place holder" Christmas gifts to the couple.
|roughly 6 feet square
And yes, that's the Kitty Chronicle print you see. Once it pops out of the dryer, I'll fold the quilt to make sure that print is on top. I am stoked about delivering it--hopefully tomorrow morning!
To make the story even sweeter, as I was fingering a throw quilt around Christmas, my friend off-handedly remarked that her throws needed updating, and she was particularly keen on replacing the garage sale mass-produced quilts (in color schemes other than her taste) currently in rotation. (And for the record, no, she wasn't hinting... too much truth warrior in her for such schemes!)
And as if the sundae needed more than that chocolate sauce, said friend accompanied me for the purchase of the extra yard of red. Seeing the bolt in my hands, she proceeded to swoon (pun intended) and could not leave without buying a piece for herself. She claimed to work it into gifts... but I've seen nary half of what she bought actually used! Perhaps someone loves it too much to give it away? Muhahaha!
As I said, I am thrilled to surprise my friends.
Oh, and bonus:
Some of the Music City Modern Quilters roadtripped to Paducah, KY, today. That's 23 faaaabulous remnants you're seeing. Since I needed replenishing and all, now that glorious albatross is gone from 'round my neck...
AH! Dryer's done. Off for a quick test snuggle before getting this baby ready for its new parents!

Shelter from the Storm: Allison Stewart's Incantations in Paint
Artsy Editorial
35.75" x 28.75" Frame size
Allison Stewart didn't always plan on being an artist—before pursuing a graduate degree in painting, she studied biology. "I'm one of those people who loved dissecting plants and animals, and making my own slides," she says. "It was a creative thing, and most of all I loved the visual part." Fittingly, Stewart's artistic practice—that includes painting, printmaking, and mixed media—fuses the natural and biological with the abstract and symbolic, training her eye on fragile environments and the interconnectedness of all living things. Though beautiful in their layers of light, color, form and texture, Stewart's works grapple with the troubled relationship between man and nature. "The bigger picture for me is beauty and loss," she says. "For me, it's about the visual, what you see. And the visceral. If I don't feel it that way, the art hasn't spoken."

JEFFREY COLLINS, Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A South Carolina mental hospital patient committed after authorities said he killed his mother and stepfather has been captured in Tennessee.
The Department of Mental Health, which would not name the man because of privacy laws, said the patient was captured Friday morning at a hotel off Interstate 40 west of Nashville, Tenn. However, the Oconee County Sheriff's office said in a news release that the patient was 39-year-old Jason Carter.
Authorities say Carter killed his mother and stepfather in 2006 and wrapped their bodies in plastic. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and then hospitalized.
Department of Mental Health officials say they don't know how he got the money for a hotel but don't believe Carter committed other crimes.
The agency says the escape is under investigation.

True Detective Will Have 3 Leads Next Season
Says Nic Pizzolatto.
True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto still has plenty to say about the first season of his buzzy, buzzy show. "In True Detective, the world itself is the crime," Pizzolatto explains on To the Best of Our Knowledge. "The world itself is poison; there's something ruinous at work here. The poison at the root of the world is humanity," he says, just in case you thought the show was a paean to optimism. As for season two, the show will be set in California, Pizzolatto says. "Not Los Angeles, but some of the much lesser-known venues of California. And we're going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambiance of the place, much like we did in season one." He also says the season has three leads, the characters are all new, and casting will start "in earnest" within the next few weeks. No word yet if any of the characters will have an affinity for repurposed-beer-can crafts, but one hopes so.

An Open, Airy Kitchen
What's the most important element in a home? According to Hope Alexander, the owner and designer of this airy, modern kitchen, it's the "relationship to the outside...to the garden...the sun's trajectory and the wind direction"—all of which you can see implemented in the kitchen, with its wall of windows, open wood shelving, and green and blue color accents!
Ms. Alexander tells Apartment Therapy in this recent House Tour that her kitchen and home designs are greatly influenced by Los Angeles' multiculturalism:
I grew up around the light and space movement in Los Angeles and this has deeply affected my sensibility. Making/designing a house is like making a painting or sculpture. I see the building, in and out, as a whole. Los Angeles' openness to other cultures, particularly its strong Mexican and Japanese influences, are strong factors in my designs.

Railroads had linked Boston, Massachusetts, with Troy, New York, since 1842. This railway network, however, did not extend to the more isolated towns of northern Massachusetts. Many of these towns, such as Fitchburg, Athol, Orange, and Greenfield, were developing industrial centers. Alvah Crocker was the president of a railroad line that connected Fitchburg to Greenfield. He dreamed of extending the railroad to Troy, New York. Troy, located on the Hudson River, was an important transportation hub for transporting freight between western New York and New York City. Troy was the eastern terminal of the Erie Canal, a waterway that allowed people and goods to move in and out of the rapidly developing West. Building the Greenfield-Troy Railroad involved boring a 4.75-mile tunnel under Hoosac Mountain, in western Massachusetts. This postcard features a view of the Hoosac Tunnel, an engineering marvel that cost many millions of dollars and took the lives of about 195 workers.

U.S. stocks were set to tick lower at the open on Tuesday as an earnings season expected to show sluggish corporate growth gets under way.
Profits in the fourth quarter are seen above the previous quarter's lackluster results, but analysts' current estimates are down sharply from where they were in October. Quarterly earnings are expected to grow by 2.8 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data.

German data showed industrial orders fell more than forecast in November due to a sharp drop in demand from abroad, reinforcing concerns that Europe's largest economy may have contracted in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"I'm surprised futures are holding up, given the relative disappointment that German data showed, but I think all eyes are on the beginning of earnings season," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh.
Monsanto Co shares rose 4 percent to $99.81 in premarket trading after the world's largest seed company raised its earnings outlook for fiscal 2013 and posted strong first-quarter results.
Education provider Apollo Group and Dow component Alcoa Inc , the largest U.S. aluminum producer, round out the start of earnings season after the closing bell.
"Alcoa is not a huge bellwether," Fort Pitt Capital's Forrest said, adding investors are focused more on companies' performance than on macroeconomic factors, so "we should be kind of flat until we get some company-oriented news."
S&P 500 futures were off 2.5 points and below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures were off 20 points and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 1 point.
Shares of restaurant-chain operator Yum Brands Inc fell 4.3 percent to $65 a day after the KFC parent warned sales in China, its largest market, shrank more than expected in the fourth quarter.
London-traded Vodafone shares rose almost 3 percent after its partner in U.S. joint venture Verizon Wireless said it would be "feasible" to buy out the British group. U.S.-traded Vodafone stock dipped 0.8 percent.
Sears Holdings shares rose 2.5 percent to $44 in premarket trading a day after the company said its chief executive will step down for family health reasons. The U.S. retailer also reported a 1.8 percent decline in quarter-to-date sales at stores open at least a year.
GameStop shares fell 8.1 percent to $22.75 before the open after it reported sales for the holiday season and cut its guidance.
ConAgra Foods Inc priced a public offering of 8.1 million common shares at $29.75 per share, the foodmaker said on Monday. ConAgra closed at $30.17 during regular Monday trading.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – King Women's Basketball took an eight point lead into halftime before the Pfeiffer Falcons rallied in the second half. The Lady Tornado allowed 36 points in the second half and fell in their Conference Carolinas opener, 63-55. Alley Sprouse led the Lady Tornado with 15 points and five rebounds.
After coming out of the first half with an eight point lead, 35-27, Pfeiffer immediately came out to go on a 15-1 run over a span of 7:50. Pfeiffer jumped out to a six point lead, 42-36, at the end of the run and held on to the advantage for much of the second half.
King came within a basket of the Falcons on multiple occasions, making its first threat at retaking the lead near the six-minute mark. Alley Sprouse hit an open jumper to being the game within two points, 51-49, a deficit that King fought to keep heading into the final three minutes of the game.
With 2:55 remaining, King trailed 55-53 following a pair of made free throws by sophomore Chelsea Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.). As time wound down, Pfeiffer began 8-2 run that helped them pull away with a win. King went 0-for-4 from the field down the stretch, hitting only two free throw attempts to improve their score. After Brooke Johnson hit two shots from the charity stripe to bring King within three points, Brittany Cox made a three with 25 seconds remaining to secure the win.
King started strong in the first half building a double digit lead midway through the opening half. With the score 12-11 in favor of the hosts, King went on a 13-0 run led by a strong attack combining of Kelly Jackson (Lynchburg, Va.), Alley Sprouse (Newport, Tenn.) and Brooke Johnson (Roan Mountain, Tenn.). King held as large as a 14 point lead in the final eight minutes of the first half before the Falcons began to chip away at the lead.
Sophomore Alley Sprouse led the Lady Tornado with 15 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the floor on the day. She registered a career-high six blocks to lead both sides while adding five rebounds.
Junior Kelly Jackson joined her teammate in double digit scoring with 11 points and also shot north of 50 percent on the night (5-9). Freshman Bonnie Durrett led the team with nine rebounds.
King (1-1, 0-1 Conference Carolinas) will travel to Mars Hill, N.C. for a nonconference match against the Lions of Mars Hill College. The Lady Tornado are in the middle of a three-game streak of road games before returning to the Student Center Complex on Dec. 1 to host Queens (N.C.).

Buying a Bay license plate or checking line 35 of your state tax form helps the Chesapeake
What's removed more than 1,000 tons of trash from the Bay, engaged 800,000 students and teachers and planted 500,000 trees and plants along the shoreline?
Your Bay license plates and income tax check-offs.
Last year alone, over 400,000 Marylanders chose Treasure the Chesapeake license plates or checked off a donation to the Bay Fund on their state tax return. Contributions amounted to $5.5 million, which helped over 110,000 students, teachers and volunteers complete 330 projects in environmental education and restoration.
In a year, these Bay helpers planted 95,000 native trees and plants, hauled 580 metric tons of trash from streams and restored 70 acres of wetlands, oyster reefs and stream-side buffers.
The Chesapeake Bay Trust redirects "90 cents of every dollar you contribute back to efforts that help the Bay," says spokeswoman Molly Mullins.
Mini-grants for projects promoting Bay education and community involvement help people see and be a part of real change, according to Kacey Wetzel, who oversees the program.
"Small projects that have a large impact are what we invest in," she says. From funding class trips to paying for rain barrels to planting gardens, the mini-grant program invests in the community.
Mini Grants: Big Return
Susan Madden, a fourth grade teacher at Davidsonville Elementary School and recipient of the 2010 Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching, is one of those people.
"I like to do real world projects with the students so they can see they have an impact on their community and the world," Madden says. "It's something they take with them beyond elementary school."
Starting 10 years ago, Madden began to take small groups of students to scrub baby oysters — so they can filter water more effectively — then to plant them in a protected oyster reef in spring.
"The oysters that we protect on average are 17 millimeters, so they are very susceptible to disease and predation in the wild. But we keep them clean and in cages to get a better start in life," Madden says. "I tell the kids it's like a little nursery and we're taking care of baby oysters."
The kids get it.
I was one of the first to help in the cleaning. At the age of eight I became a surrogate mother. Ten years later, I still remember scrubbing oysters and gently placing them with their clean brethren as if I were caring for infants.
Students in Madden's class study microorganisms and water samples as well as the Bay report cards so they can see how the Bay needs help before they go to neighborhoods like Harbor Hills and West River to clean oysters.
"When I first started," Madden says, "I asked for mini-grant money to buy equipment to clean the oysters. Now I just ask for a couple hundred dollars to cover half the cost of the field trip and half the cost of a substitute teacher so I can go with my students."
The kids' experiences make them advocates.
"Parents ask students questions about what is going on with the oysters," Madden says. "The students actually educate their parents because their parents understand the connection between the oysters and the Bay and how we're making an impact."
The decline of the Bay is directly linked to the loss of oysters. In the days of John Smith and Pocahontas, oysters formed giant reefs that reached to the surface so ships couldn't sail through parts of the Bay. Oysters kept the water so clean that except in the deepest waters, sunlight penetrated the surface to the bottom.
The Heart of the Matter
Getting back to the days when the Bay was so lively is the Bay Trust's goal.
"We believe that you're never going to tackle the Bay's problems unless you get to the heart of the person who wants to help," Mullins says.
Dollar by dollar, your money does just that.
"Bay plates plant trees and get kids outdoors and support water quality monitoring," says Wetzel. "Bay plates do things in your community."

33rd Annual Father Leeber S.J. Invitational Results
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (September 26, 2009) - The Sacred Heart women's cross country team captured both the team and individual titles while the men finished second at the 33rd Annual Fairfield University Victor F. Leeber Invitational Saturday afternoon. Junior Kimberly DeLoreto (Hillsdale, NJ) won her first career individual title in leading the Pioneers to their sixth-straight win at the event.
The Pioneer women finished with all of their top-seven runners in the top-20 runners, four running in the top-10 in the win. SHU posted their 11th win in past 13 years running at the Fairfield event. The Pioneers finished with 27 total points to finish in front of the host Stags in second place with 51 total points.
"I was pleased with the way the women ran today," commented head coach Christian Morrison. "They put forth a solid team effort, and I'm excited to see what they can accomplish as we progress through the season."
DeLoreto, coming off a third place finish at last week's Quinnipiac Invitational, took home top-honors this week, winning by 29 seconds. DeLoreto clocked in at 18:31 for the win and her third career top-five finish.
"Kim took control of the race early, and ran to an easy win. She was just totally dominant. As her coach, it's gratifying to see all the hard work she's put in paying off."
Freshman Olivia Civardi (Brightwaters, NY) turned in the first top-five finish of her young career, running in fourth overall with a time of 19:12. In just three races, the rookie runner has chalked up two-straight top-10 finishes. Senior Sarah Tencza recorded her third career top-five finish crossing the line in fifth with a time of 19:21.
Freshman Alyssa Selmquist (Northford, CT) finished sixth over, notching her first career top-10 finish, clocking in at 19:38. Freshman Megan Papp (Niantic, CT) broke the 20:00 mark for the first-time in her career to round out our top-five in 11th place (19:57). Rounding out the SHU top-seven runners was junior Samantha Troy (Lebannon, CT) in 13th (20:01) and sophomore Brigid Paddock (Stony Brook, NY) in 16th (20:09).
On the men's side, SHU ran shorthanded on Saturday, missing junior Andrew Houghtalen (West Charlton, NY), sophomore Andrew Sullivan (Ellington, CT) and senior Brendan Rickert (Danbury, CT) falling short of their third-straight team win. The Pioners posted 60 total points behind winner Fordham with 42 points.
"The men were unable to keep their winning streak going, but we had a lot of nice efforts today. More than half the team recorded personal bests, and our freshmen group is coming along nicely. We are really looking forward to the New England Championship in two weeks."
Graduate student Luis German (Southampton, NY) was the Pioneer's top runner earing his second career top-five finish. German finished in fifth to lead four runners in the top-15, crossing the line in 25:47. Sophomore Richard Marcello (Foster, RI) notched his second career top-10 finish with an eighth place finish in 25:50.
Sophomore Jeffrey Lusignan (East Montpelier, VT) and senior Ryan Murdoch (Salem, CT) ran back-to-back in 13th and 14th place, respectively, clocking in at 25:59 and 26:00. Rounding out SHU's top-seven finishers was freshman James Gladysz (Wading River, NY) in 20th (26:18), freshman Christopher Connelly (Medford, NY) in 21st (26:22) and junior Daniel Koehler (Red Hook, NY) in 26th (26:35). For SHU, Marcello, Lusignan, Murdoch, Gladysz, Connelly, and Koehler all recorded personal bests. Rookies Gladysz and Connelly moved to the number one and two spots on the Sacred Heart all-time freshmen list with their times.
Both Pioneers teams will be off next weekend and return to action on Saturday, October 10th at the New England Championships in Boston, MA at Franklin Park.

MADRID (Reuters) - Telefonica is to create a video platform with Microsoft, as part of the Spanish telecoms group's ongoing push into digital services.
The new platform will enable services such as timeshifting and multiscreen across Telefonica's video services, and first deployments will be in Brazil, Chile and Spain, Telefonica said on Thursday.
The company, battling recession in Spain and debt of over 50 billion euros ($64 billion), has put its faith in digital services. It expects London-based Telefonica Digital to generate revenue of 5 billion euros by 2015.
"It allows us to meet customer demands for access to video content on an ever-expanding range of devices," Telefonica Digital's director of digital services, Vivek Dev, said.
Telefonica expects to extend television services based on the new platform to businesses in other countries over the next few years.
Latin America now accounts for more of the company's revenue than Europe and Telefonica is focused on making money from the region as Spain drags on the business.

In my last post I talked about my grandfather refusing assistance, as I prepare for his youngest daughter's funeral mass tomorrow I'll tell you the story she told me.
Antonio or "Tony the Barber" had a shop at the edge of the "Patch" the Italian section of the city. During the depression times were very hard, it was hard for the fathers to come up with the money for a cut or a shave let alone a cut for their sons. Antonio would often call a boy passing by who hadn't had a haircut in a while into the shop for a free cut when he knew his parents couldn't afford it and would be too proud to ask.
One day in the 1930's a person from the state came by, he was talking about some of the relief efforts being offered. He said "Tony" could get free shoes for his five children. Antonio declined. He didn't' explain the garden he kept, the grapes he grew, the chicken and goats or the dandelions he had for greens, he didn't talk about the hard work his children did after school, or his wife did during the day to keep the house. Instead he simply said he would feed and clothe his own kids.
The man was astonished, saying Tony was robbing his children, Antonio raised his head holding the razor he was using to shave a customer saying they were HIS children and suggested his visitor should leave.
Antonio found himself in court, having been raised in Sicily and not being familiar with American law he suspected he would have to pay the judge for justice so he had two ten-dollar bills in his pocket that he had put aside for a rainy day and went to court.
In the court they stood before the judge and the man-made a complaint saying he had threatened him with his razor. The judge being a sensible man listened to the story and asked Tony if he threatened him. Antonio answered he the man had no business coming into his show and telling him how to support his children. As for the razor, he was shaving a customer at the time and had his razor in his hands. If he had not been in the middle of a shave he would have would have punched him and thrown him out.
The judge replied that if he had struck him there would have been a $10 fine.
My grandfather reached into his pocket, took one of those $10 bills that he worked so hard to earn, put in on the bench before the judge, turned to the man standing next to him and decked him.
Antonio turned to the judge and said: "I have another $10". Times being different and men being men in those days the judge accepted the fine and closed the case, Antonio went back to his barber shop and supported his wife and children for the rest of his life without help or inquiries from the state.
That's the story my mother told me when I was very young. Maybe it's true maybe it isn't but I submit and suggest that if there were more Antonio's in the country or more people who thought like him the nation would be a better place.

Little Baby's naked phase
I hear this from time to time from friends who have kids:
"Oh she's just going through a biting phase."
"Oh he's just going through a fruit phase. He just wants to eat fruit."
And several times:
"Oh he's just going through a naked phase. He doesn't want to wear clothes."
Usually referring to children under 6.
So here's Justin Bieber, in Poland, Jacek's motherland, at the airport in Lodz. (My favourite Polish word is "lody" pronounced "luh-deh" which I mangle into "low-dee" which means ice cream. Isn't that a great way to say ice cream? LOW-DEE! Also, low-dee tastes SO MUCH BETTER in Polish.) As you can see, JB's walking around with no shirt on again. Because...
Well, he must be going through a phase.
TMZ is reporting that Bieber's being investigated for allegedly beating down a neighbour. Apparently JB returned from Europe this morning and the neighbour was all shouty about the loud parties that were happening at his place when he was away. According to the accuser, JB puffed his chest out and threw down some big boy words, followed by a big boy shove, and maybe even a threat.
JB's security are telling TMZ that Bieber never touched the guy. Did they have to hold him back? Hold back all his big muscles? Like this?

Restored American cars
Beautifully restored American cars from the 1950s are commonplace in Cuba. And although Cubans cannot get American replacement parts, they have ingeniously fashioned their own from Russian car parts. With Cuba opening up, there is now a large market for these cars in Europe.

However, people will still be interested in adventure and fantasy, and the consept of Avlis is one that, apparently, many find attractive. So, while the technology will eventually leave NWN:Avlis in the dark, the sourcebook and expanded lore of Avlis would be able to make the Avlis concept live on through PnP and the like, given that it is well written, and functions as a good basis for campaign-making.
In addition: As long as this place exists, more lore, and a comprehensive sourcebook will make it an even better place to live out our fantasies, as it increases the IC/RP options, and makes the whole thing more "believable".
So, I voted for the sourcebook; lore-expanding coming in as a good second.
As for whipping of team-members, please take pictures of it, and post them in the forum

I purchased this machine to try to rescue it. When I received it, it was missing all the "works" on the bottom. Heartbroken. Looking for parts to get this old gal up and running. Precious little info on the net about this machine. Conflicting history articles. I do have the manual (most of it). Anyone have any ideas as to where I can get parts (or an old junker beyond redemption). There's doesn't appear to be too many New Williams machines or owners out there. Thanks.

Bow Wow Celebrates 27th Birthday With Jermaine Dupri, Angela Simmons And More In NYC
Bow Wow celebrated his upcoming 27th birthday in New York City last night (Mar. 6) with an intimate dinner at TAO Downtown. Hosted by Jermaine Dupri and Hennessy VS, the event was attended by the rapper/actor/TV host's close friends and family, including Eric Mena and Angela Simmons. Bow spoke with VIBE about his upcoming ventures, which include a clothing line, a vodka brand and a new single.
"I been around Puff for the last month-and-a-half, staying with him, and he's just been coaching me and giving me all the game. It's the blueprint, you know," he said. "What y'all gonna start seeing from me now is just pure entertainment. I can't really say 'I'm a rapper,' or 'I'm this.' I gotta really just say I do everything now. And that's what [Puff's] doing."
Along with his Asphalt Yacht Club clothing, NDI Vodka, and 106 & Park hosting gig, Bow is also gearing up to release new music with a Dupri-produced single track called "Team Us" featuring Ne-Yo. He is also reading movie scripts and searching for his next role in a feature film.
"I haven't read anything that grabbed me yet. But it's coming, trust me. Being on TV everyday and they see how I'm acting, they're sending them. But I just haven't seen anything yet that's like a Lottery Ticket for me, or that's like a Roll Bounce for me. I pick my movies very strategically."
Check out photos from Bow Wow's birthday dinner above.

ECB Raises 2013 GDP Forecast but No Change to Guidance
Bank Expects Smaller Contraction, Steady Inflation
FRANKFURT—European Central Bank President Mario Draghi played down recent signs of economic recovery in the euro zone and kept the door open to interest-rate cuts, suggesting the bank's easy-money policies will stay in place as far as the eye can see.
"These shoots (of recovery) are still very, very green," Mr. Draghi said at his monthly news conference. The ECB's rate-setting board kept its key interest rate unchanged at the record low of 0.5% and announced no new stimulus measures....

LONDON (AP) — Germany's Thomas Bach is set to become the first member to declare he is a candidate to succeed Jacques Rogge as president of the International Olympic Committee.
An official with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Bach will announce his candidacy at a news conference in Frankfurt, Germany, on Thursday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not yet been publicly disclosed.
Rogge, a Belgian surgeon who succeeded Juan Antonio Samaranch in 2001, steps down as president on Sept. 10 after 12 years as head of the IOC.
The 58-year-old Bach, a German lawyer and IOC vice president, has been widely expected to run for president and is considered the leading contender among a possible half dozen candidates. Bach, a 1976 Olympic fencing gold medalist in team foil, is also head of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, or DOSB.
"All I can confirm is that we will have a press conference tomorrow in Frankfurt," DOSB spokesman Christian Klaue told the AP.
Bach has been on the policy-making IOC executive board as a regular member or vice president since 1996. As chairman of the IOC juridical commission, he leads most of the investigations into doping cases.
The deadline for declaration of candidacies is not until June 10, three months before the vote in Buenos Aires, Argentina. But an unofficial election campaign has been going on for months, with prospective candidates traveling the world to attend various Olympic gatherings to talk to members.
The list of potential contenders has been an open secret in IOC circles.
Singapore's Ng Ser Miang, another IOC vice president, is expected to formally announce his candidacy soon. Richard Carrion, a former executive board member from Puerto Rico, is another likely leading contender.
Ng led the organizing committee for the inaugural Youth Olympics in Singapore in 2010. Carrion heads the IOC's finance and audit commissions and led negotiations that secured a record $4.38 billion deal with NBC for U.S. TV rights through 2020.
Sergei Bubka of Ukraine, the former pole vault champion who still holds the world record in the event, is another likely presidential candidate. C.K. Wu of Taiwan, head of the international amateur boxing federation, is also considering joining the race.
Two Swiss members, Rene Fasel and Denis Oswald, have been weighing their options. Fasel is president of the International Ice Hockey Federation. Oswald is the former longtime head of the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations. It's unlikely both will run.
Nawal El Moutawakel, the Moroccan who won a gold medal in the women's 400-meter hurdles at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, has considered a possible run but members say they do not expect her to be a candidate.

The Alibi's weekly contest
UPDATED: See the comments below for a hint!
First of all, congratulations to NOBODY for guessing last week's photo. That's right, none of you could figure it out. So I'm giving you guys some homework: Get over to Budai Gourmet Chinese as quickly as you can and scarf up some of their excellent food. Don't forget to ask for the secret menu!
Now, a quick rules run down on how this works: See the picture? It's from a restaurant that I've been to recently and it is SIDEWAYS. Figure out where it is and post your answer in a comment below (not on Facebook, don't email them to my Alibi account, don't write them down in your diary; put them in the comments section or you won't win). The first person to do so with the correct answer will be declared Emperor PhotoGuesser of the Week AND, at the end of the month, will be entered into a drawing for an Alibi Bucks prize along with the other Emperor PhotoGuessers.
Got it?
One more thing. If you win, I'll be notifying you via Alibi.com's message feature, which some of you may not know about. Look at the upper-right hand corner of the screen. See that block of red text that tells you if you're logged in, etc.? If I send you a message, that block will also display a notification along the lines of "2 messages." Click on it, and it will take you to your inbox where a cheery "YOU ARE A WINNER" message may very well be waiting. Read it and then write back to me to acknowledge that you've received it. You can also get to your inbox through the "my alibi" drop down menu.
Good. Now guess.

At a young age you sort of accept that one of those billions of contradicting solutions could be true, and you just move on really. To discuss something that cannot be proved, has no real reasoning behind it, and has nothing to do with the actual issues that we all face, to me personally seems to be a huge waste of time. And to actually base your real life decisions on something like that is another step entirely and honestly in my opinion is extremely irresponsible for an adult to do.
So what you are saying are saying is that and only irresponsible and immature people believe in God? This idea looks like the typical atheist self-righteousness. Just more dogma as far as I'm concerned.
No im not saying that at all, I never mentioned God once. I simply said to base your actions on ideas that are unfalsible and have no real reasoning behind them are indeed irresponsible. Believing in something like that isn't really irresponsible, I never really said anything about that. Instead of twisting my words, maybe highlight where I actually say what you imply.
So quoting your exact words is really in effect twisting them? Wow, that's pretty clever! And yes God was specifically mentioned by Taniaaust1 in your quoting and I will quote: "People seriously talk about GOD and other things..and that cant be proven. It doesnt mean its not worth serious discussion (thou may not be to all). Its just a matter of what is resonating to you."
So God was mentioned and your words were not twisted, only quoted. My point is that you can express your opinion without insulting people with these kinds of statements such as inferring that people who believe in things that haven't been proven are being extremely irresponsible and immature. It's unnecessary and doesn't impress anyone. It just sounds judgemental, exactly like the religious fundamentalists you claim to be different than.

Road trip to California's Coachella a rockin' ride
For the flower children of the '60s, there was Woodstock.
For the techno two-steppers of the '90s, there were warehouse raves.
For today's young bohemians, there is The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, an annual two-weekend three-day spectacle in the California desert a few kilometres outside of Palm Springs.
Making it to Coachella is a goal my friends and I have shared since graduating university two years ago. Getting our hands on five tickets to this year's sold-out event was hard, to say the least. But getting there? That was a trip all on its own.
Our home-on-the-road was courtesy of Wicked Campers, an Australia-based rental company that also caters to adventurous millennials in North America. Our ride was a 1999 Chevrolet Astro van with spray-painted Adventure Time characters scribbled all over it, and a pop-up roof-top tent, which slept all five of us. The combination definitely made us the talk of most campsites.
It took us seven days, 2,259 km, and a handful of memorable pit stops to arrive in Indio, Calif., for the festival. Here are few of our most memorable mile markers:
When one thinks of coastal Oregon, an Arabian-like desert isn't typically what comes to mind. But strapped to the back of a dune buggy with a bandana tied tight around my face, the surroundings reminded me more of Egypt than America.
The central Oregon coast is home to some of the world's largest and most beautiful sand dunes. Glistening hills and valleys of sand stretched out for kilometres in front us. The best way to see these natural wonders is on the back of a dune buggy. There are dozens of tour operators off of Hwy. 101 near Florence. We opted for Sandland Tours and definitely left impressed.
California may be famous for its golden coast, but it's the towering redwoods that really cause jaws to drop. We took the "Avenue of the Giants" scenic detour — the old Hwy. 101 — for a chance to see the enormous timber trunks up close. For an hour-and-a-half the narrow two-lane passageway weaves through the colossal redwoods. To get a sense just how big these trees are, pull over and try to wrap your arms around one. Don't forget to take a photo.
The heart of hippie culture, this is a city that marches to the beat of its own drum. Like many girls, we opted to spend our day shopping.
We took the streetcar to historic Chinatown, where red paper-lanterns line the road, to explore shops filled with gold-plated china, strange herbs and dainty jewelry. We spent the afternoon hanging out at the corner of Haight and Ashbury — California's psychedelic hub. Bouncing from boutique to boutique we all picked up a few cool festival outfits.
After sunset it was time to hit the town. The best way to celebrate one night in sweet San Fran? Dancing until the wee hours in The Castro, San Francisco's famous gay district.
Cruising down the California coast, the five us had only one goal: Spend at least one night camping under the stars on the beach. And boy did we hit the jackpot when we took the last available site at the Kirk Creek campground.
Located right off Hwy. 1 between Big Sur and Lucia, the campground sits on top of a 30-metre cliff looking out over the Pacific Ocean. We rolled up around 4 p.m. and spent the late afternoon hanging out below the bluff on a rock beach before hiking back up to our camp-site to catch the sunset and later moonrise.
There's no cell phone signal there and the closest town is a 15-minute drive away, making it feel like you're truly in the middle of nowhere. But the raw natural beauty is breathtaking and there's nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the ocean tide.
The last stop before Coachella was Venice Beach. Wandering the boardwalk in this groovy seaside town is a must. The shops are packed with cheap, cool accessories and souvenirs. We all bought flower crowns for the festival.
There are also plenty of fun activities to keep you occupied as you make your way down the strip. Not bold enough to get real tattoos, we decided to have some fun with henna.
If you have the time, walk the boardwalk north until you hit the Santa Monica pier. The two towns are right beside each other and both make for excellent people watching.
— Next year's Coachella takes place April 10-12 and 17-19. See coachella.com.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - In the last competition before the ECAC Championships, Yale swept past Brown, 189.925-181.825. In addition, Lauren Tatsuno, Laura Lombardi, and Alina Liao each came away with at least one individual title, as the Bulldogs won all four plus the all-around.

The podium was dominated by Bulldog blue, with Liao in third (9.425), Brigitte Kivisto in second (9.475), and Lombardi with a beautifully executed routine that scored a 9.55 for first place.
Beam was another sweep for the Bulldogs. Liao's 9.5 earned her fourth place. Mak scored a 9.675 and placed third, barely edged out by Lombardi's career high 9.7. Tatsuno also shone, earning a career high 9.8 to take her second title of the night.
On floor, Kristen Campbell's 9.45 put her in fifth place. Kivisto placed third with a 9.6, and Tatsuno added to her collection of stellar routines with a 9.675 second place finish. Liao won the event, earning a 9.75.
Liao was the all-around champion with a 37.925 and Kivisto's 37.725 placed her second. Campbell's final score was a 36.95.

Study Finds That Long-Term Use of HIV Drugs Doesn't Increase Non-AIDS Death Risk
December 8, 2011
Ever since HAART came about in the mid '90s, the life expectancy among people living with HIV/AIDS has increased significantly. But, there have been some serious questions about the overall safety of taking these medications long-term. These concerns are especially prevalent given the current debates around PrEP, treatment as prevention and whether or not people living with HIV/AIDS should start treatment sooner rather than later.
But a recent study might help quell some of those fears.
Researchers from the EuroSIDA study suggest that prolonged use of antiretroviral therapy does not increase the risk of death from non-AIDS-related illnesses such as heart and kidney disease. According to aidsmap, by analyzing the health outcomes of more than 12,000 people living with HIV/AIDS who started treatment after 1996 and were categorized as being on treatment less than two years, two to three years, four to six years, six to eight years, or more than eight years, the researchers found:
Researchers did however find a correlation between the long-term use of antiretroviral therapy and dying from non-AIDS-related cancers. But they suggested this might be due to the growing aging population of the HIV/AIIDS community or the increase of cancer awareness and screenings over the years.

Trending Artists & Designers at Collective 2
Artsy Editorial

Manufacturer: Niels Vodder
Villa Kokfeldt, Hellerup, Denmark
One of the pivotal figures of Danish design in the 1940s, Finn Juhl introduced Danish Modern to the world, specifically the United States. As an architect and interior and industrial designer, Juhl was best known for his furniture designs that uprooted traditional historicist styles embellished with ornament and plush prevalent in the late 1930s, instead creating modern furniture along the lines of the International Style. Juhl's Pelican Chair exemplifies the designer's incorporation of form with function. The chairs, sumptuously sculptural and organic in form, were inspired by Juhl's philosophy that "a chair is not just a product of decorative art in a space; it is a form and a space in itself."

The rich intellectual life at Tulane Law School is evidenced by any number of activities in which both faculty and students participate on a regular basis. Tulane's law journals—fine testaments to this richness—are widely circulated and cited throughout the United States and abroad.
Law Journals
There are eight law journals
sponsored by or otherwise affiliated with Tulane Law School. Six of these
journals are run solely by students: Tulane Law
Review, Tulane Maritime
Law Journal, Tulane Environmental
Law Journal, Tulane Journal
of International & Comparative Law, Tulane Journal of Law & Sexuality,
and Tulane Journal
of Technology & Intellectual Property. The Sports Lawyers
Journal is published by the national Sports Lawyers Association,
but edited entirely by Tulane students. The Tulane European & Civil Law Forum is faculty-run and
faculty-curated, but students assist with editing.
journals are regularly cited, both nationally and internationally. A
recent Washington and Lee survey found that court citations of the Tulane
Law Review place it in the top 27% of general U.S. law journals.
According to this survey, the Tulane Maritime Law Journal is the
top-cited maritime journal, the Tulane Environmental Law Journal is the 5th most-cited environmental journal, and the Tulane Journal of
International & Comparative Law is in the top 6% of international
law journals and 20% of comparative law journals.

Packers Nation is abuzz after a report on Wednesday evening from Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network that the Packers could become heavily involved in free agency, signing up to five players from outside the organization as well as parting ways with defensive lineman B.J. Raji.
First of all, the only way the Packers will be able to become heavily involved in free agency is if they don't sign several of their own high-profile free agents.
Sure, the Packers might currently have some of the most salary-cap space in the entire NFL, reported to be nearly $28 million of room, but that chunk of money will be swallowed up quickly once they tender their exclusive and restricted free agents, sign their 2014 draft class, sign several of their own unrestricted free agents that number 17 players and perhaps extend wide receivers Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb.
If the Packers re-sign players like Raji, cornerback Sam Shields, center Evan Dietrich-Smith, wide receiver James Jones, linebacker Mike Neal and fullback John Kuhn, there's not going to be much money left over to spend on players from other teams.
Now, if the Packers watch Raji, Shields, Jones and Neal walk away, then yes, they will have some flexibility to go out and sign a player or a couple from teams other than Green Bay.
As far as "getting more athletic and versatile along the defensive line" as suggested by Rapoport, the Packers could very well see Raji go elsewhere once he hits the open market.
Returning players like Mike Daniels and last year's first-round draft choice Datone Jones figure to play much bigger roles in 2014, but the Packers still need at least one big body and probably two to play nose tackle and in their short-yardage and goal-line packages.
Josh Boyd may also be in line for more playing time in 2014, but depending on him to play 60 percent of all snaps would be a major risk. It's highly unlikely that the Packers allow both Raji and Ryan Pickett to leave, although it's not going to take nearly as much money to re-sign.
Pickett may very well come back to Green Bay on a one- or two-year contract to help the team bridge the gap until they find the long-term successor in Green Bay.
It's simply necessary for almost every team in the NFL, and especially those that run a base 3-4 defense to have at least two big nose tackle types that weigh 325 lbs. or more on their roster, in case of injury if nothing else.
If, by chance, both Raji and Pickett were to leave in free agency, the Packers would necessarily have to go out and acquire another nose tackle type of player, whether it's through the draft or a player looking for a new team.
A popular refrain on social media is that the Packers must re-sign Shields or, at least, be the team's priority in free agency. And that may very well be the case, but people have to remember that it's not simply the Packers' choice and their choice alone whether or not to re-sign the free agent defensive back.
Shields and agent Drew Rosenhaus seem dead set to test the open waters. The Florida native is going to be very tempted to return a warm-weather climate, but more than that, he's going influenced even more by the highest bidder for his services.
All these things will play into how much the Packers become players in free agency among players from outside the organization.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what you or I or anyone thinks should happen. It only matters what general manager Ted Thompson and the rest of the Packers front office thinks and eventually does.
Should the Packers re-sign Shields and Raji and extend Nelson, then don't expect there to be much cap space left over than the Packers to sign anything more than some mid- to low-tier free agents. If not, then bring on Jairus Byrd.

Learning About Korea Through Its Kites: Teaching the Korean Bird Kite
These activities introduce simple Korean vocabulary and concepts about Korean culture for very young students through a reading about the country's national emblem, which is represented in one of the country's kites. They establish a cultural context for the easy-to-make, easy-to-fly Korean bird kite, which is available in a kit. These readings can be supplemented with a general reading about flying a kite.
Science: understands simple propertiesof common natural objects; understands how to ask a question about objects, organisms, and events in the environment.
Mathematics: understands meaning of addition and subtraction (cutting and taping tail pieces; more or fewer depending on wind conditions); understands attributes to describe and compare objects; understands concept of symmetry; estimates length using non-standard units.
Social Studies: identifies the ways cultural traditions are expressed through artistic creations and use of the environment.
Visual Arts: identifies line direction and free-form shapes; uses art tools and materials safely and appropriately; applies a creative process in the arts; identifies personal aesthetic choices.
Language Arts: uses context to predict and confirm meaning of unknown words; uses new vocabulary from informative/expository test; identifies important parts of informative / expository text; reads to learn new information; reads to perform a task; writes for different purposes; writes in a variety of forms/genres (answers to questions).
Cultural Integration: Asia
Student Reading: The Korean Magpie (PDF file)
Student Reading: Flying a Kite (PDF file)
Extension Activities: Writing & Discussing (PDF file)
Purchase Kite Kits: Korean Bird Kite Kit (with paper pattern, spars, flying line & winder), per student
Materials You Supply: Scissors; Scotch tape; markers, pens, crayons, and/or watercolors, per student
Session One: Student Reading (30-45 minutes)
The reading The Korean Magpie provides a cultural context for a design adapted from a traditional Korean kite that is simple enough for very young students to make.
Optional Session Two: Student Reading/Activities (30-45 minutes)
Use the reading Flying a Kite to introduce basic concerns and techniques in flying a kite, including being safe and partnering with the wind. Extension activities (wind vocabulary and experiences, kite-eating tree; proverb) provided here.
Sessions Three - Five: Decorating, Constructing, and Flying the Korean Bird Kite (30-90 minutes)
These activities could be grouped into one or two longer sessions: cutting out and decorating the sail; constructing the kite; flying the kite.
Follow assembly instructions from the kite kit.
Cutting and taping the tails will take the most time for young students. Teachers/ adult helpers can speed this process with a paper cutter. Tails can also be decorated.
Decorating the kite sail can be integrated with more sustained visual arts instruction in: free-form shape; primary and secondary colors; symmetry in design.
Take extra tails and spars, plus tape, to the flying field for repairs or additions in heavy winds.
The website Magpie in Nature & Myth, edited by Peter Y. Chou, provides links to information and beliefs about magpies from several cultures.
Life in Korea explains Korean associations with many animals, including magpies and tigers: clear color images make this an attractive site for young children. Illustration from the website.

Estate and Trust Law
When I took the basic "estate and trust" course in law school, I recall thinking that it was a dreadfully boring topic and I suspected that I would never use any of the information that I gathered there. I couldn't have been more wrong on either front. Estate planning is a vibrant area of the law that touches not only those contemplating distribution of their assets upon death but also individuals planning to share their lives and assets either outside or within the bonds of marriage, those planning to dissolve a marriage, and those who want to initiate a plan for others to make financial and health care decisions for them or for their children in the event they are incapacitated.
An estate attorney may prepare supplemental needs trusts for special needs children who could outlive their parents. Other clients may want to provide support for various family members who are not able to manage their own assets yet need support that will continue after the client's death. Some clients want to ensure that their pets are cared for after their demise and that family businesses are appropriately devised. They may want help in organizing their matters to ensure that their wishes reagrding organ donation or burial preferences are honored. The estate planner needs to be able to listen carefully to the client to determine what special needs the client may have and be prepared to pull together a plan that will survive the client but allow his or her wishes to be followed.
An estate planning attorney will likely need to help clients to understand that a will cannot empower loved ones to make decisions about termination of life support, organ donation, or even pay the bills in the event of the client's incapacitation. The last will and testament should be accompanied by a power of attorney that may or may not include a health care directive, a living will to permit the withdrawal of life support mechanisms, and an advanced guardianship directive for the client and any minor children, along with one or more trusts.
The same attorney may often assist the client in determinations about family businesses, jointly held assets, and even prenuptial agreements. Blended families can often provide the impetus for couples contemplating marriage to preserve a portion of their assets for children from previous marriages. Designing estate plans for clients in domestic partnerships who are concerned that their partners be permitted to make medical decisions for them often feels like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
An estate attorney may be called on to validate the client's mental state at the time of will preparation. When wills or trusts are challenged, the estate attorney must be prepared to defend the deceased or incapacitated client's state of mind and help ensure that the client's wishes are followed. When a client passes away, the estate attorney may be one of the first people called to guide the survivors in honoring wishes that might not always have been made clear to the family. An attorney who has prepared many wills likely will recognize former names in the local obituary column and often will assist in the probate process after the client's death. The attorney will also likely be well acquainted with laws regarding probate procedures, including ancillary probate processes impacting real property for clients domiciled in other states.
Most estate lawyers develop their own documents for routine matters but call upon legal treatises or software to assist with special circumstances. The GP|Solo Division has an active Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Committee and has published several useful tools, among them, A Lawyer's Guide to Estate Planning and Estate Planning for Same-Sex Couples. The American Bar Association's Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Section is an essential resource. Solosez, the ABA's most active listserve, is a valuable tool for attorneys who want to brainstorm about how to solve an unusual challenge.
Estate planning is a highly complex and emotionally charged area of law. The estate lawyer may be the only attorney whom the client ever meets, and the client needs to have confidence that the attorney will listen carefully and ensure whom the client's goals are met. In short, the estate lawyer is in a unique position to become very well acquainted with clients and their families and needs to be available to assist clients through incapacity and before and after death. Although estate lawyers are found in large firms, solos and small firms are often favored by clients who want to have a closer relationship with their legal advisor on these most personal details. Recognize that the area has become more and more complex and specialized and that it involves more than simply using cookie-cutter will documentation. Estate planning can be financially rewarding, but more importantly, the attorney-client relationship is itself rewarding, and the comforting of grieving family members is a critical part of the practice.
