Transport for the North will be launching a public consultation into the long-awaited draft Strategic Transport Plan on Tuesday 16th January.
Transport is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK with nearly a quarter of the UK's total emissions in 2015 coming from surface transport and domestic aviation. This is further increased when emissions from international aviation are factored in.
Despite this huge share of emissions, progress on transport is painfully slow with emissions hardly changing between 1990 and 2015 (compared to energy supply where emissions have nearly halved in the same period).
The draft Strategic Transport Plan is therefore crucial to delivering a Zero Carbon Yorkshire. We need to ensure that the Plan contains ambitious carbon reduction targets and the right policies and investment decisions to deliver this target.
Zero Carbon Yorkshire would like to invite transport campaigners in Yorkshire to come together for two important meetings.
Firstly, we will meet on Monday 22 January so we can share our analysis of what's in the plan and whether it sets out the right objectives and the ambition required to achieve these objectives. We will crowd-source a list of concerns and challenges which we can then present to senior TfN officers later that week.
Secondly, we will meet on Monday 29 January to get feedback from Transport for the North on how they are seeking to address any concerns we have over the plan. We will aim to develop a set of key outcomes we want to ensure the STP delivers.
Both meetings will be focused on developing an effective campaign to ensure the Plan delivers on carbon reduction.

In an unprecedented long term low interest rate environment, achieving a decent rate of return on investments demands a step up in risk. Real Estate Investment Trusts fit the bill for attractive high yields, some in double digit territory, but the constant nag of high leverage and the threat of any rise in interest rates create an element of risk not to be ignored.
The quality of the security instruments underlying REITs is a key factor in assessing the effect a change in interest rates might have on the investment. For mortgage back REITs, their income depends on borrowing at low or no interest rates then collecting the higher interest generated from its holdings of long term mortgage debt. The difference between the borrowing rate and the collecting rate is the spread. A rise in interest rates increases borrowing costs, reducing the profits from the spread and lowering the amount of capital available for dividend payouts. A lower dividend yield causes holders to flee the REIT sending its share prices lower.
Some of the best yields today are from mortgage backed or mREITs. Yields above 12% are common. Share prices are off 52 week highs in concert with the broader financial sector's swoon, reflecting the uncertain climate in worldwide capital markets.
Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY) is trading in the middle of its 52 week range at almost par with its book value of $16.22. The company's market cap is $15.74 billion with 40% held by institutions. NLY holdings primarily include agency (government backed with an implicit guarantee) mortgage securities and mortgage backed instruments which helps moderate risk for a healthy yield of 14.20%.
Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE:CIM) holds primarily diversified residential mortgage backed and asset backed securities, including jumbo and alt a loans. Third quarter 2011 saw a 43% drop in income due to declining returns on investments which offset its interest gains. The current dividend yield is at 16.1%.
Armour Residential REIT, Inc.(NYSE:ARR) trades around $7 and has holdings that are predominately agency backed adjustable rate mortgage securities. Though it has maintained a great dividend return of 19%, it has experienced falling earnings per share and negative returns on equities and assets in the recently completed quarter.
MFA Financial, Inc. (NYSE:MFA) also trades near $7 with a portfolio of hybrid and adjustable rate mortgage backed securities. With a p/e ratio of 7.35 and earnings per share near $1, its yield is running at 13.
American Capital Agency Corp (NASDAQ:AGNC) holds agency backed pass through mortgage securities. Earnings have grown 300% year over year for a low p/e under 5 and a yield over 18. t
Apollo Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:AINV) is more of a BDC (business development company) REIT than a mortgage REIT. It operates as a closed end management investment company. While it may invest in mortgage securities, its primary focus is investment in a diverse range of middle market companies. Typically investing between $21 to $250 million, AINV seeks a five to ten year maturity horizon. Currently trading near its 52 week lows around $7 with third quarter 2011 misses in both return on equity and profit margin.
Any rise in short term borrowing costs will pressure these REITs due to the amount of leverage required to sustain high yields, however based on recent actions by the Federal Reserve, interest rates look to remain low until strength in US economy is sustained. Look for falling unemployment numbers and consistent increases in GDP before the Fed incrementally begins to bump up rates.
Non risk averse investors have a continuing opportunity to realize high yields from well managed REITS as long as the US economy drifts, but must understand that constant due diligence on the quality of the mREIT portfolio (with government agency backed securities lowering risk) and its leverage composition is essential.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Meet a few of our staff
"I joined Wrenn in September 2014 at a very exciting time. Armed with a clear remit to help lead the change necessary to drive the school forward, I have been lucky to work with a team of professionals who share my commitment to delivering outstanding learning and teaching.
It is refreshing to work in an environment where any idea or suggestion can be put on the table, but will be tried only if it can clearly deliver the improvements needed that work in the interest of our students. Proving the potential impact is the challenge of leadership and is the motivation that brings you in every day."
Daniel Baxby
Vice Principal
"Working at Wrenn offers you endless opportunities whether you're an NQT or a more experienced teacher. I personally started as an NQT and went through a rigorous programme of induction aimed at consolidating my pedagogy and setting me up for a TLR in my second year of teaching. I've also had the opportunity to attend a conference at the University of Leicester during my NQT year, which I found extremely useful informing me of what next after NQT.
I am also very pleased with how SLT trust staff to do their job properly and support them through organisation of various different events at faculty and whole school level. Finally, most students at Wrenn make you want to be teacher and make a difference to the lives of our youngsters."
Mr M. Konteh
Former NQT, now MFL teacher with TLR responsibility
"I joined Wrenn Academy in September 2014 as a HLTA for literacy/SEN. Being my first post in a Secondary school, I knew it would be a huge learning curve for me; it was daunting yet exciting.
From my very first day I have received an enormous amount of support and encouragement from all my colleagues. There is always someone within the school that can help to answer any questions and find you a solution. Not only is this helpful and reassuring but it also enables me to carry out my job role efficiently and confidently.
There is regular training available in all areas which I have always found very informative, well organised and relaxed.
I thoroughly enjoy my job at Wrenn; every day is different, bringing its own new challenges and experiences. All the staff are very friendly, supportive and great fun to work with; I feel very much part of 'the team' on both a professional and personal level. I have learned so much during my short time at Wrenn and am looking forward to progress my knowledge and develop my career within the school.
Mrs Alison Blackah
HLTA Literacy/SEN
"When I started at Wrenn Academy, I had no previous experience of working in a school environment. I have had a lot of internal support from colleagues and also external support through our sponsors, The Education Fellowship.
I felt very welcomed into the school and very quickly felt part of team. The building is incredible and the character of the school really shines through.
Everyone plays a big part of making Wrenn a great place to work. I enjoy coming to work every day and I feel like the work that I do, makes a difference to the Academy and I am very lucky to be a part of it.
Alice Pomroy
Principal's PA and HR Officer
"In Sept 2007, I joined the staff at Wrenn school. As a nervous NQT, I was fairly apprehensive about my first 'proper' year in teaching and how I would deal with the pressure. I needn't have worried as Wrenn has a long history of supportive staff and regular training opportunities. I hugely relied on my NQT mentor in the early years and have since been able to repay the favour by becoming a mentor myself.
As a school, we invest in our staff and value the importance of creating opportunities within our existing workforce. As a result, there are always opportunities for career progression and to keep renewing our love for teaching.
At every stage of my career, I have always been given the confidence and encouragement to be the best I can be. On a whole school level, we hold both productive regular training sessions and inspirational workshops from our own outstanding teachers. We have recently launched a coaching programme within the school which provides a more personal one to one training opportunity for staff who would like it. It is the foundations of caring and encouraging staff that has helped us make the necessary changes to begin our journey to Outstanding. I love working at Wrenn Academy and am so thankful for the opportunities I have had since joining."
Rebecca Hales
Director of Lower Academy

From Sonya Velez, Founder:
While driving one day, I noticed a sign on a telephone pole that was barely legible. It was streaked from the previous night's rain and the top part of the page was folded over because the tacks had come loose. I made out the word FOUND, and Terrier, and I could see a phone number on the bottom of the page. I wondered how long the sign would stay up there and whether another night's rain would make it totally impossible to read. I also wondered if this pet would ever be reunited with its owner again.
That's when it hit me that there should be an easier and faster way to find a pet. Losing a pet can be a very frightening experience, just as finding a pet can leave you feeling helpless as to what to do.
This site was developed to aid and assist those who have lost a pet, and those who have found a pet, by creating a system that matches lost pets with their owners as quickly and with as little stress and anxiety as possible.
We hope you find our site useful!

Earlier this week Keelen Mailman was awarded the Barnardos Queensland Mother of the Year award 2016.
Its an award that recognises every-day mums and great women who go above and beyond to care for children in our communities.
For the ever humble Keelen, it was an opportunity to meet and celebrate like minded mums.
"It's an absolute honour and a very proud moment for me," she says.
"The other finalists are beautiful people, and the Barnardos staff made us feel so comfortable, they couldn't do enough to make it special for us all.
"It really was a beautiful experience."
Nominated by her foster Daughter, Fay Anderson, Keelen knows what life is like on the other side.
Growing up, their family didn't have much, and at the age of 38 Keelen's mother suffered a severe stroke.
It was 12 year old Keelen who took it upon her own shoulders to look after her brothers, sisters and mum.
With or without the award, she says she would keep on doing what she's doing.
"I don't know if it will really change me at all that much, it's an absolute honour, but I'll just go along doing what I've always done and be there to give advice and help," she says.
"I never sort of looked at it is as foster care to be quiet honest; I'm aunty to a lot of nieces and nephews of all different races and ages and genders.
"I just look at it as taking them in and giving love, it doesn't cost anything to give them that," says Keelen.
Keelen is the first Indigenous woman in Australia to manage a cattle station, Mount Tabor Station, near Augathella.
She's taken her many kids out there to experience life in the outback, in Keelen's opinion it's one of the best upbringings a child can have.
"Children are our future, they're innocent little people, so it's about being an inspiration and a mentor and guide them and be their ear and just give love and cuddles and discipline as well.
"Just having them out here, hearing their stories and watching them grow, I'd do it time and time again, I just tackle it mate, tackle it as it comes along," she says.
At the start of May Keelen will head on down to Sydney for a few days of pampering, before the National Award for Barnardos Mother of the Year which will be announced on May 5th.
"I can't wait to get down to meet the other beautiful mums who are finalists, to hear their stories because I love to hear everyones journey.
"I'd like to mention all the Barnardos staff, and all of the sponsors, they're all pretty special people too.
"Also a huge thank you to all the people out there that have given me their well wishes and congratulations," says Keeleen.
She's certainly a very impressive woman, and this award is just the tip of the iceberg of the Keelen Mailman story.
Plus More news previously wrote…
A huge congratulations must go to one of our most well known local faces, Keelen Mailman, for taking out the title of Queensland's Barnardos Mother of the Year for 2016.
For anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Keelen, you will know she is the kindest of souls you could find.
Keelen was nominated by her foster daughter, Fay Anderson and is described as 'the true Aussie survivor who has been caring for children since she was just a child'.
The Barnardos Mother of the Year 2016 – Queensland Finalists page writes the following about Keelen.
Keelen Mailman, 49, is a true survivor, rising above a background of poverty, sexual abuse and racism to reach out and offer unconditional love and protection to children in need, starting when she herself was just a child. A mere 12 years old when her own beloved mother suffered a severe stroke, Keelen immediately stepped in to raise her brothers and sisters and to care for her incapacitated mum. More recently, Keelen, who is the first Aboriginal woman to manage a cattle station and the author of The Power of Bones, heeded a cry for help from five nieces and nephews living in intolerable conditions, and represented herself in court to successfully obtain full guardianship of the siblings.
"My family of one became a family of six. They came from nothing at all. They were my children not just my nieces and nephews," Keelen says.
Keelen is nominated by her foster daughter, Fay Anderson, who credits her aunt for saving her from a life of abuse, neglect and despair.
"Around 14 years ago I didn't want to live anymore," says Fay. "How could I hurt so much and still be here on this earth? Let down time and time again by my own parents.
"Aunty Kay became the mother I dreamed of. The mother I always wanted. When someone asks me, 'Who pushes you to want something so big for yourself?' all I can say is that I want everything the world has to offer because of this beautiful woman. "She taught me to never accept less then I deserve; I wish I could give her the world. I hope she knows how much I love her."
Charleville Plus More will follow up on Keelen's success in the coming days, but in the meantime we wish her our warmest congratulations.

Scarce metals as raw materials for ICTs: Do we care enough?
The expected increase in the use of scarce metals for "emerging technologies" intended to contribute to a transition towards a more sustainable society has raised concern regarding the short-, medium- and long-term supply with these metals. Recent studies have shown that in the short- and medium term a main factor affecting supply security of scarce metals is the concentration of mining and refining on a few countries and companies, in particular. While from a strategic perspective this calls for a demonopolization of supply, a sustainable use of scarce metals, which requires interventions both on the supply –and the demand side, has to go well beyond. On the supply side, materials efficiency, materials recovery and environmentally and socially responsible production processes have been identified as major cornerstones for a more sustainable use of scarce metals. On the demand side, possible interventions include increasing the product lifetime, e.g. by reuse of products and components, and changing consumption patterns towards more sufficiency. In the long run our goal should be to keep scarce metals that are not compatible with ecosystems within the technosphere, and to find more abundant substitutes that are compatible with ecosystems at least for those scarce metals that cannot be kept within the technosphere.
Patrick Wäger is a senior scientist at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa). He studied chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, and philosophy at University of Zurich, and holds a PhD degree in environmental sciences. In his present research he addresses issues related to the recovery of raw materials from end-of-life products, with special focus on critical metals in emerging technologies.

Insider Arthritis Tips August 2009
August 15, 2009
"The biggest tragedy in America is not the great waste of natural resources - though this is tragic; the biggest tragedy is the waste of human resources because the average person goes to his grave with his music still in him." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
A Twisted Ankle Isnt Just a Simple SprainThis was a great and timely article from a staff writer with the New York Times. The article was published online July 27, 2009. While not technically a form of arthritis, it is a common problem that many people encounter. The advice is worth following
A Twisted Ankle Isnt Just a Simple Sprain
A sprained ankle is one of the most common joint injuries, prompting many people to consider it just a sprain and not treat it with the respect it deserves. The too-common consequence of this neglect is a lasting weakness, an unstable joint and repeated sprains.
Given that some 25,000 ankle sprains occur each day in the United States, it is worth knowing how they can be prevented and how they should be treated.
I suffered two memorable ankle sprains, and although I did better with the second than the first, in neither case did I do everything right.
The first occurred 40 years ago when I was nine months pregnant with twins. I twisted my ankle stepping on an uneven surface in my backyard. The pain subsided in a few minutes, and I did nothing about it. Nothing, that is, until it began to swell and throb hours later and I couldnt walk. I was not a pretty sight hobbling to the doctor using my husband as a crutch.
The second occurred about two decades ago, when I turned my ankle coming down the stairs of a commuter plane. This time the acute pain was so severe I had to be carried into the airport, where a wheelchair and ice packs were provided. On my connecting four-hour flight, I was given a three-seat row where I could keep my ankle elevated and periodically iced. I slept that night with the pillows under my foot. The next morning, the pain was gone and I went jogging.
The two mistakes: My first injury should have been treated immediately, with rest, ice and elevation and an elastic bandage to keep down the swelling; with the second, I had no business running on that ankle less than 12 hours after the injury.
No Quick Fix
Last month at the National Athletic Trainers Association annual meeting in San Antonio, experts responsible for the ankle health of college athletes reviewed research evidence for various methods believed to help prevent recurrent ankle sprains. I suspect that few athletes, whether professional, intramural or recreational, will like the bottom line: ankle sprains usually need more rehabilitation and take longer to heal than most people allow for.
Undertreatment means that 30 to 40 percent of people with simple ankle sprains develop chronic long-term joint pathology, said one presenter, Tricia Hubbard, the undergraduate athletic training director at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.
Most research is showing that with any ankle sprain, the ankle should be immediately immobilized to protect the joint and allow the injured ligaments to heal, Dr. Hubbard said in an interview. At least a week for the simplest sprain, 10 to 14 days for a moderate sprain and four to six weeks for more severe sprains.
Yet coaches, like most people, she said, tend to think, Its just a sprain, youll be fine and they tape the ankle and ice it and the player is back on the field in a few days.
Of course, players want to play, whatever their level, so they rarely question the wisdom of such a quick turnaround.
Lack of pain is not always the best indicator that its safe to resume activity, Dr. Hubbard said. The pain of an ankle sprain can subside fairly quickly, but that does not mean the injured ligaments have healed.
A Vulnerable Joint
Sprains occur when the foot turns in or out to an abnormal degree relative to the ankle. Common causes include stepping up or down on an uneven surface, particularly when wearing shoes with platform soles or high heels; stepping wrong off a curb or into a hole; or stepping on an object left in the wrong place.
In athletics, common causes include coming down wrong after a jump shot or rebound; stepping on another players foot; and having to make quick directional changes, as in tennis, basketball, football and soccer.
As with other such injuries, the recommended first aid for an ankle sprain, to be started as soon as possible after the injury, goes by the acronym RICE:
R for rest, I for ice, C for compression, E for elevation. In other words, get off the foot, wrap it in an Ace-type bandage, raise it higher than the heart and ice it with a cloth-wrapped ice pack applied for 20 minutes once every hour (longer application can cause tissue damage).
This should soon be followed by a visit to a doctor, physical therapist or professional trainer, who should prescribe a period of immobilization of the ankle and rehabilitation exercises. An anti-inflammatory drug may be recommended and crutches provided for a few days, especially if the ankle is too painful to bear weight.
The Healing Process
During healing, Dr. Hubbard said, new tissues are laid down, and they need to be aligned with the action of the joint through proper exercise.
Rehabilitation should include range-of-motion and stretching exercises, strength training and balance training.
Dr. Hubbard said studies had shown that one of the most effective immobilizers is the AirCast Air-Stirrup ankle brace. This inexpensive half-pound device limits motion but can be removed for needed exercises.
Even after an injury has healed, an athletes ankle often needs extra protection during physical activities. Studies reviewed by Jay Hertel, an athletic trainer at the University of Virginia, showed that wearing a lace-up ankle brace was more effective than taping the ankle in preventing reinjury.
Of course, preventing injury in the first place is ideal. Athletic trainers emphasize the importance of wearing proper shoes for your chosen activity shoes that are comfortable, supportive and not worn out.
Dr. Hubbard says women should be very careful in high heels or platform shoes, which she called an ankle sprain waiting to happen.

What had happened with Jeffrey is that it had been raining and he was going around a curve, lost control (not speeding, according to the police report), and crashed into a light pole. The light pole had snapped in half and the top half came crashing through the roof like a harpoon. Six inches forward and Jeffrey would have died. He was taken to the local hospital and had 20 stitches. Thats all.
The second call was from my sister. My father had fallen earlier in the week and complained bitterly of hip pain. He was taken to the emergency room and x-rays showed no fracture. However, he continued to have pain during the week and was unable to bear weight. To make a long story short, he was taken back to the ER and repeat x-rays confirmed a fracture and she was calling to tell me he was admitted for surgery.
I went up to Philadelphia the day after my Dads surgery. All my siblings were there. My father has dementia and between the pain meds and his dementia, he was really out of it. I dont think he knew who I was. To see him lapse into and out of consciousness, mumbling nonsense in two languages was very painful.
Ive found during my journey of life the odd feeling that accompanies misfortune. You travel through a haze. Whats happened seems to be a bad dream
at least you hope it is. But it isnt. You put one foot in front of the other and move forward because there is no other option. The earth doesnt stop revolving; the world just doesnt stop. Its up to you to just keep going.
They say that theres a silver lining in every cloud. Maybe in Jeffreys case, I find he comes to appreciate his health more. Maybe with my dad, its the opportunity to reconnect with my siblings. Maybe I havent found it yet.
all in all, a very eventful few days that once again conveyed the fragility and unexpectedness of life.

Sinister Musky Tries to Steal Ice Fisherman's Hard-Earned Bass
You just never know what's lurking below the ice. Check out this video of a fisherman's bass barely escaping the attack of a musky.
Often called "the fish of 10,000 casts," musky are notoriously finicky and difficult to entice in for a strike. That doesn't mean they aren't a worthy predator though.
Watch below as a fisherman peers through his ice hole and films the impressive speed of a musky taking a shot at his catch as it's pulled through the ice.
With his partner preparing a meal, the successful fisherman cranks on his reel, ready to add another bass to the small bounty of fish collecting in the corner of his ice shack. Just as his catch reaches the surface however, a rather large musky can be seen swooping at the bass from below.
As the fisherman cheers in shock and astonishment the bass lingers at the surface but in true musky fashion, the big predator never returns.
Yet another good reason why you shouldn't put your toes in ice water.

File Photo LOS ANGELES - Taylor Swift's new album "Reputation" has sold more than one million copies in its first four days, Nielsen Music said on Tuesday, but the U.S. pop star failed to beat the record set by Britain's Adele two years ago. Swift's 1.05 million U.S. sales of "Reputation" came despite the singer keeping the album from streaming services and gave her the best-selling album of 2017. But the figure was less than half the monster sales for the debut of Adele's "25" album, which surpassed 2.43 million copies in the first four days of release in November 2015 and smashed a 15-year-old U.S. record set by boy band NSync in 2000. Adele also initially kept "25" from streaming services. Swift, 27, recording on Nashville-based independent label Big Machine Records, now has four albums that have sold more than one million copies in their first week -- "1989," "Red," and "Speak Now." "Reputation," her first studio album in three years, marked another transformation for Swift with songs marked by vengeance that take aim at the media and some of her haters. Full first week sales will be available next week, when "Reputation" will top the Billboard 200 album chart. Swift this week announced the first U.S. dates of what is expected to be a world tour to promote the album.

They are relatively new to this area, but I had heard so much about Zerorez. How their patented technology cleans carpets, bathroom tile, upholstery and more WITHOUT toxic chemicals, fragrances, shampoos and such and the results are amazing. (Just ask our morning show Allan & Ashley). My first thought as a pet owner and one who cleans the carpets several times a year was: "Right, Zerorez can transform my carpets to like new without soaps or chemicals? Hah!"
Was I ever wrong.
From the moment they showed up, explaining their patented 'empowered water' technology and how/why it works to their professionalism, friendly and respectful customer service.
My experience with Zerorez went above and beyond expectations. Do it for you, your kids, your pets, someone with allergies, do it for the greenest, cleanest carpets (and bathroom tile:) EVER!
No more pet odors, and my carpet is almost factory new again! AND, no leftover soap/chemical residue to collect dirt like before. Safe, effective and your new "go to" for carpet rescue and more!
Call today and ask about: Shellie Hart-KRWM Special for rate/gift card. 425-453-9376 (425-453-Z-E-R-O)

My two daughters, ages 6 and 5, hold Ph.D.'s in Overkill with an emphasis on Beating a Dead Horse. Every time we drive around Danville, Indiana, our girls ask us, "Can we go see the Christmas lights?" They've been doing this since early November, when the first signs of the Town of Danville's annual Winterland Christmas light display started appearing. We drive to Corky's Fabulous 50's. "Can we go see the Christmas lights???" We drive home. "Can we go see the Christmas lights???" We drive to Dave's All-American Pizza & Eatery. "Can we go see the Christmas lights???" We drive home. "Can we go see the Christmas lights???" You get the picture. So shortly after the Christmas on the Square festivities, we got on the Town of Danville's Winterland website and printed off a $3 coupon for the gate fee, knocking the price down from $8 to $5 for as many trips around the loop as we wanted. Then we headed to Ellis Park for our annual trip through Winterland, much to our daughters' delight. The friendly greeters at the gate advised us to turn our radio to a particular station, which allowed us to enjoy Christmas music as we meandered through the astounding display that features millions of lights. No sooner had we passed through the gate than our oldest daughter, who is really getting the hang of reading now that she's in first grade, spotted a sign about Santa Claus at the Train Station. Our tour of the lights came to a screeching halt as both girls begged to go inside and see Santa. As always happens, however, the moment they laid eyes on Santa, they developed an acute case of bashfulness. While my wife worked on peeling them off her legs and assuring them that Santa doesn't bite, I found the people inside the Train Station who were giving out hot chocolate and goodies. As I munched on a cookie and sipped my warm drink, my wife finally coaxed the girls into giving Santa a try. Our youngest was able to summon the most courage, and she climbed into the chair next to Santa. Our oldest, however, kept her distance. Santa showed infinite patience with them, and eventually they warmed up to him a little bit and were able to tell him what they're hoping he brings them for Christmas. For $5, we got a nice keepsake photo of the girls with Santa, and his elf was even kind enough to let me snap my own photo of them without siccing the reindeer on me. We got back in the car and back on the loop, killed our headlights, and took several laps around Ellis Park enjoying the Christmas lights, music and each other's company. We all picked out our favorite displays and drove around until both girls zonked out in the back seat -- no doubt with visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads. Danville's Winterland light display is a great reason to come visit Hendricks County. It's open seven days a week through Christmas Eve, from 6-9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 6-10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Bring the kids to see Santa on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays from 6-9 p.m. And if you're really energetic, participate in the Winterland Run/Walk at 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 for just $5 per person. Bring a canned food item and receive a prize! Be sure to dress in your most festive clothes, too, because prizes will also be given to the merriest-dressed participants. Register online in advance by clicking here or bring cash or a check to the event on Saturday and pay when you get there.

Smith was a Chicago investment banker who was a major fundraiser for Gingrich when the latter was a Republican congressional leader in a ferocious battle of wills with then president Bill Clinton. Smith was instrumental in the "Troopergate" scandal, in which four state troopers who provided security for Clinton alleged that the then Arkansas governor had used them to find him women to have sex with.
He also tried to orchestrate a paternity suit against Clinton and tried to find a woman who would claim she had an illegitimate child with the governor.
According to David Brock, a former investigative journalist, Smith offered to provide financial support, including finding jobs and setting up a legal fund for the troopers if they lost their jobs as a result of the allegations against Clinton. Brock later expressed doubts about the veracity of the allegations.
"There was discussion of Peter promising to find them jobs at a certain level of income, and there was definitely discussion of a legal defense fund [for the troopers]," Brock told the New York Observer at the time. Brock, who has since founded the Media Matters for America watchdog group, did not return a request for comment on Friday.

ARMY bomb disposal experts have made safe and removed a live hand grenade found by a man digging his garden in Letterkenny this morning.
Bernard Houston, got the shock of his life, when his spade struck the grenade in the front garden of his home at Glencar Park around 10.30 am. on the busy Circular Road not far from the hospital. The pin was still attached to the grenade making it live.
"I was digging the garden up and the 9 year-old son was with me when I hit the object," he told the Donegal News.
"I had been clearing away bushes when I came across it. At first I thought it was a stone but straight away I saw the grenade- the size of your hand- with the pin on it and I immediately got the young lad away and raised the alarm," he added.
Gardai were alerted and they immediately secured the area and evacuated residents. A team from the Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team removed the the 'pineapple' type hand grenade this afternoon around 4.30pm, ending a seven hour security operation.
It was taken under escort to Finner Army camp for inspection in an effort to ascertain how it ended up in the garden. One theory is it may have been transported in topsoil to the site as the houses were being built.
Detectives sealed off the entrance to the estate and the area was cordoned off awaiting the arrival of the Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal team. Local residents were evacuated until the device was removed.
Local Garda Inspector Goretti Sheridan confirmed the device is a hand grenade. "It is now being taken away for technical examination," she told the Donegal News.

By Patrick DeWitt
328 pp. Ecco/HarperCollins. $24.99
It is 1851 in the Oregon Territory, and Charlie and Eli Sisters have been ordered by the Commodore to go to California and kill a man called Hermann Kermit Warm. They ride their horses, Nimble and Tub, and along the way meet "the weeping man" and a dentist, Reginald Watts. These characters and their names, not completely Dickensian, or even Pynchonian, but not exactly commonplace either, are emblematic of Patrick DeWitt's novel "The Sisters Brothers" — not always serious, not always funny, sometimes derivative of old westerns, sometimes a parody of them.
The brothers are told that when they kill Mr. Warm they must steal his "formula," which turns out to be a chemical solution that enables gold seekers to find what they're looking for without all that digging and sifting. Its effect on those who employ it — the price it exacts upon greed — is the comeuppance dealt out in this picaresque novel.
The ancestor of all road movies and novels, the picaresque in its classic form is narrated by a rogue from the lower stations who, on his journey, rises through the classes as he encounters various typecast characters — blind beggars, impoverished noblemen, lusty women. It's a satirical genre that sends up not only such social types but the narrator himself, whose education consists of learning to adopt bourgeois hypocrisies. It's also usually narrated in a gritty vernacular, and the version of 19th-century Western speech in "The Sisters Brothers" is surely gritty, as well as deadpan and often very comic. Eli Sisters tells the story in a loftily formal fashion, doggedly literal, vulgar and polite at turns, squeezing humor out of stating the obvious with flowery melodrama. "Tub!" Eli cries at one point, "I am stuck inside the cabin of the vile gypsy-witch. . . . Tub! Assist me in my time of need!"
This is dime-novel speech, and DeWitt's version of it raises interesting questions. Did real-life Western vernacular sound like this snippet from George Ruxton's 1849 travel narrative, "Life in the Far West": "Do 'ee hyar now, you darned crittur?" Or did it sound like this, from "The Sisters Brothers": " 'Your hat is tattered, also.' 'I like my hat.' 'You seem to have known each other a long while, judging by the sweat rings.' My face darkened and I said, 'It is impolite to speak of other people's clothing like that.' "
The answer is neither. When eye dialect is, thankfully, no longer the fashion, reported speech like that in Ruxton seems magically to vanish from the historical record. And when formal politeness is in fashion (thanks to Charles Portis's "True Grit"), sometimes, to be sure, combined with numbing expletives (thanks to the HBO series "Deadwood"), its ultimate source is novels written by Eastern authors who were taught in school that good writing displays a horror of contractions. DeWitt's version of this vernacular is a stylized abstraction of Western speech after it originated in the South, found a niche in the Civil War and crossed the Mississippi, where it passed through any number of filters: political orations, florid journalism and mouths too full of chaw to say much, to name just a few.Continue reading the main story
DeWitt has chosen a narrative voice so sharp and distinctive, even if limited in its range, that its very narrowing of possibilities opens new doors in the imagination. Here is Eli, about to shoot a man: "My very center was beginning to expand, as it always did before violence, a toppled pot of black ink covering the frame of my mind, its contents ceaseless, unaccountably limitless. My flesh and scalp started to ring and tingle and I became someone other than myself, or I became my second self, and this person was highly pleased to be stepping from the murk and into the living world where he might do just as he wished. I felt at once both lust and disgrace and wondered, Why do I relish this reversal to animal?"
This, like the novel's climax, is both striking and strange. It describes a kind of truth that DeWitt is clearly more than capable of investigating. Other passages do likewise — his portrait of San Francisco's "madness of possibilities" during the gold rush, for example. With its $100 prostitutes, its $30 meals of meat, spuds and ice cream, and its harbor choked with ships whose cargos were never unloaded because the crews ran off to the gold fields, San Francisco is the perfectly surreal centerpiece of "The Sisters Brothers."
Yet such scenes are too infrequent, especially in the novel's desultory first half. Picaresques are by nature episodic, but this doesn't justify a plot with so many anticlimaxes and dead ends. DeWitt seems to be fond of rescuing his characters from dire predicaments by means of convenient expedients, like gunmen falling out of trees, but is this parody or laziness? In addition, the novel's deadpan dialogue occasionally suffers from slippage, and its portentous declarations can sound, well, portentous. ("Death stalks all of us upon this earth!" Eli shouts when he learns some trappers plan to kill him.) "The Sisters Brothers" could have been an unnerving black comedy, but its sketchiness and the inherent silliness of its McGuffin, the "formula," finally sap its ability to unsettle us.

November is truly a month for giving thanks for so many things we are blessed with. It is also an awareness month for so many situations; Epilepsy, Adoption, Diabetes, Prematurity, and other causes.
However, November should not be the only time to be thankful or to be aware of circumstances tha we and those around us face. I will spotlight just two of these important issues today; diabetes and prematurity.
My mom's friend, Rose Greve-Crystal, is aware every single day of her daughter Emily's type 1 diabetes. Emily's diagnosis came about four-and-a-half months ago when she went to the doctor because she just wasn't feeling well.
Since then, life has changed a lot for the Crystals. Rose checks blood sugar levels around the clock, even at three in the morning, and insulin shots are becoming routine. But, Emily is a trouper and even did a presentation on diabetes in her elementary school classroom. Emily meets with her team of doctors every three months to keep her diabetes monitored. Now, after more than 500 injections and more than 1,000 finger pricks, no member of the Crystal family can stop being aware of diabetes.
For me and my family, and all the other one out of nine babies born early, prematurity is not something that we can only be aware of in November either.When our Emily was born, we didn't know anyone with a premature baby and never thought we would be having a baby that weighed less than two pounds. But, we did.
Every day since then, we have been totally aware of prematurity issues and just how many premature babies there are. NEC, RSV, IUGR, SIUGR, eating, growing, meeting milestones, and keeping healthy, is all in a day's work. Being a NICU parent was hard and when we brought Emily home it was even harder. Just because she was home didn't mean she was okay and just another newborn. We still had and have some of the same issues now, at almost two, as we did when she was born. All of this is a part of our every day lives.
It is our life. Whether we are dealing with diabetes, prematurity, or another situation. It is our life. Everyday. We all have our ups and downs and we are stronger than we thought we could ever be. Our little ones are stronger than we could have imagined. We are like every other family, and yet different.
So, just because November is behind us, don't stop being thankful or aware of what is around you and who is around you. Reach out and let them know that you care -- whether it is November, or some kind of awareness month or not.
A special thanks to my fellow preemie moms for sharing their stories in November on Preemie Blessings. Thank you, Rebecca, Nancy, Mary, and Jessica. We will always have a special bond.

'Playlist' Is Vital, Funny Quest for a Band and Love
In 'Rachel,' Hathaway Ditches Prada, Plays Terrific Wedding Devil
Devotees of old movies will detect an echo of the casually sophisticated Thin Man films in the title of "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist," though the earlier Nora needed only four letters to spell her name. And this Nick, played by Michael Cera, is the soul of unsophistication. But he's a funny, tender soul -- Norah is played vividly by Kat Dennings -- in a bright little screwball comedy that speaks for the vitality of new movies.
"Nick & Norah" was directed by Peter Sollett from a screenplay that Lorene Scafaria adapted from a novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. Mr. Sollett's auspicious debut feature was "Raising Victor Vargas" (set, like this one, in downtown Manhattan). Mr. Cera charmed audiences in last year's "Juno" as Paulie Bleeker, the winsome boyfriend who gets the heroine pregnant, and as the frustrated party-seeker in "Superbad." While his performances were full of small surprises, there was no way of knowing how much more he might be able to do with his special quality of grace under neurotic pressure. The answer turns out to be quite a lot.
The character he plays, a high-school senior from suburban New Jersey, is once again a diffident kid with a breathy voice that hasn't quite changed and may not do so. Depressed over having been dumped by his girlfriend of six months -- half an eternity in adolescent time -- he's uncertain of his future as the only straight member of a queercore band called the Jerk Offs. ("You don't know what it's like to be straight," he tells a band mate. "It's awful.") Behind his flattish affect, however, lies a quick, dry wit -- "Once you buy them," he says of his car, a rust-yellow Yugo with a slipping clutch, "you see them everywhere") -- and incipient maturity; he's the only one with a sense of purpose in a movie that revels in the absurdity of two confused and simultaneous chases through the downtown club scene. (One of them is in pursuit of an underground band called Where's Fluffy.)
What's more, Nick has a gift for offhand remarks that suggest genuine depth. He drops the best one during a lovely sequence in a recording studio. Norah, who has already acknowledged that she is Nick's musical soulmate, tells him via intercom from the control room that what she particularly likes about Judaism is the concept of tikkun olam: "The world's been broken into pieces," she explains, "and it's everyone's job to put them together again." Nick replies pensively from the studio, "Maybe we're the pieces." As soon as he says that she goes to him, and how could she not; they are soulmates period.
Don't infer from this that "Nick & Norah" is a serious movie with comic overtones. It's an imperfect, sometimes familiar but always exuberant comedy with romantic resonance and a soundtrack that's as essential to the story as the dialogue. On a recent flight from New York to Los Angeles, I listened to two girls sitting behind me spend the better part of 2,500 miles discussing nothing but the playlists on their iPods. That's part of what this film is about. For kids unsure of who they are, and scarily ahead of themselves in a sex-drenched culture, the music they choose helps define them.
The likable cast includes Ari Graynor and Alexis Dziena, and the story, which takes place on a single night, goes off on amusing tangents -- a turkey sandwich, a taxi that isn't a taxi, a piece of chewing gum that becomes a running gag, a lizardly opportunist flogging a dreadful CD: "It's, like, anarchy meets Zionism. It's ironic." The film isn't ironic at all. It's mainly about a shuffle-mode search for love.
'Rachel Getting Married'
Here are two arguments against seeing Jonathan Demme's remarkable "Rachel Getting Married." I hope they won't deter you, but in the interest of full disclosure let's get them out of the way. "Rachel" is similar in theme, though only in theme, to last year's "Margot at the Wedding." And you're unlikely to mistake it for drawing-room comedy. The heroine -- not Rachel, but her sister, Kym -- is the living, breathing, smoking, joking, snarling, mood-swinging embodiment of narcissistic desperation. That said, the young actress who plays her, Anne Hathaway, sweeps away all clinical categories with a performance of phenomenal energy and heartbreaking beauty.
The script was written by Jenny Lumet in a loose, graceful style that allows the story to flow -- or sometimes ramble -- freely, and gives the actors all the room they need to invent and discover as they go along. (Declan Quinn's multiple cameras go with the flow as if they were all-seeing eyes.) As the film begins, Kym, who's been in and out of rehab for a decade, leaves a rehab clinic to go home for her sister's wedding. There, her feverish need for attention and atonement threatens to turn her into a human wrecking ball, not that her illness hasn't already inflicted collateral damage on the family. One tacit subject -- in a movie that declines to divide itself by subject matter -- is the intricacy of dysfunction; what is cause and what's effect in Kym's tortured family romance? And what of her future? Not every wounded spirit can be healed; her wounds go fearfully deep.
If "Rachel Getting Married" were about dysfunction and nothing else, you might want to skip it, Ms. Hathaway's brilliance notwithstanding. But the life that swirls around Kym before, during and after her sister's densely populated, wonderfully detailed wedding seems to have been caught on the fly in all its sweetness, sadness and joy. (In its free-form style the film constitutes an elaborate homage to Robert Altman.) Rosemarie Dewitt makes Rachel an intriguing character in her own right. Bill Irwin is the sisters' rigid, earnest father; Debra Winger is their scary, semidetached mother; and the groom, Sidney, is played by the actor and musician Tunde Adebimpe. I've saved him for last because Sidney is a musician, many of his friends perform at the wedding, and music -- Jonathan Demme's faithful muse -- is the force that drives the drama once the ceremonies get under way. It's a life force that plays against Kym's penchant for self-destruction, and the contest is thrilling.
'Flash of Genius'
You've gotta love the premise (and the title) of "Flash of Genius" -- a little guy, straight out of a Frank Capra script, triumphs over two of Detroit's Big Three auto makers that stole his idea for a windshield wiper that would not merely wipe wipe wipe, but also wipe, and then wipe, and then wipe. If only the movie were more than intermittently interesting.
Greg Kinnear plays the real-life inventor, the late Robert Kearns, a Detroit college professor whose sanity and family are almost destroyed by his obsessive, decades-long quest for full justice. (He defines this as monetary compensation for the theft of his intellectual property plus a public acknowledgment of wrongdoing.) Mr. Kinnear is fine; he's an actor we always like, and he gives a skillful, heartfelt performance. The problem is the material -- dramatic in the describing but painfully predictable in the telling. We know they done him wrong. We know he's going to have a terrible time proving it, and we know he's going to succeed. The only unknowns at the outset are how long it's going to take -- longer than the TV movie this should have been -- and how many windshields the camera will watch as the wipers do their stuff.
Bill Maher is the Borat of the God beat in "Religulous," a provocation, thinly disguised as a documentary, that succeeds in being almost as funny as it is offensive. (The film was directed by "Borat's" director, Larry Charles.) Mr. Maher's M.O. involves getting in the face of a believer, making a mockery of his or her beliefs, asserting his own atheism and then waiting, in the hallowed tradition of "Candid Camera," for the amazed, outraged or, in some cases, amused response. (Far from being amused, one trucker at a small, apparently truck-width truckers' chapel near Raleigh, N.C., endured Mr. Maher's arguments as long as he could, said "I don't like the way this is going" and stomped out.)
Some of the friendliest exchanges are with Roman Catholic priests, one of whom, the director emeritus of the Vatican Observatory, is much too humorous and worldly to take Bill Maher's creationist bait; he sees evolution as settled science. Other interview subjects -- sandbagees -- are deadly serious, or at least pretend to be on camera. A high point -- or low point, depending on your tolerance for this sort of thing -- is a colloquy about Jonah and the whale between the film's host and a stone-faced ex-Jew for Jesus. For the most part Mr. Maher is an equal-opportunity denigrator, but it's worth noting that humor fails him when the subject is Muslim fundamentalism. It's hard to make light of what frightens us.
Altmanesque as Jonathan Demme's film clearly is, it also evokes the powerful intimacy and intensity of 'After the Wedding' (2006). Mads Mikkelsen stars as Jacob, the Danish director of an impoverished orphanage in India. When he flies home to meet a potential benefactor, the man invites him to attend a wedding, where Jacob's past suddenly becomes his shocking present. Susanne Bier directed from a script she wrote with Anders Thomas Jensen.

On August 29, a round table devoted to the discussion on the enforcement reform and the establishment of the institution of private enforcement officers (PEOs) was held at the Lviv Economic Court.
As the head of the Lviv Economic Court of Appeal Dmitry Plotnitsky noted: «The issue of enforcement of judgments is important first of all for the judges themselves, since the purpose of any court will be achieved only if the court decision is executed».
According to Konstantin Silkin, Deputy Head of the Enforcement Service Department, enforcement of court decisions is currently only 4-7% in economic jurisdiction. The Ministry of Justice places its special hopes on the PEOs, as the state system often has lack of motivation, skills and efficiency.
Dovydas Vitkauskas, Team Leader of the EU Project «Support to Justice Sector Reforms in Ukraine», said: «In order to achieve the highest efficiency of the enforcement system, it is necessary to consider the question of equalizing the status of private and state enforcement officers and gradual transition to the private enforcement».
According to the Project Expert Damir Site (Serbia), the key to successful enforcement system of is, first of all, an effective law, regulating PEOs activity and providing access to the debtor's property.
In addition, the following questions were discussed during the round table: judicial control over the enforcement of judgments, PEOs remuneration , the status of the assistant to the PEO, advance payments, transfer of enforcement proceedings from state to private enforcement officer, establishment of the PEOs Association.
The event was organized in cooperation with the Ukrainian Bar Association and with the support of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. It was attended by the judges, representatives of the Ministry of Justice and territorial administration of the State Enforcement Service, PEOs, lawyers, representatives of legal professions intending to join the profession.
As of today, 10 people have received certificates of private enforcement officers in the Lviv region, 6 of them are included to the register of PEOs.

Tuesday Six – 5/8/2012
Well it's been a pretty damn fantastic week in my world. The Avengers took over the country, forever raising the bar for superhero movies (yes, I'm in comic book nerd heaven), I've gotten plenty of quality time on the moto lately, and got to see a living legend – Willie Nelson – at the 930. Not too shabby. In between all that, I have been listening to some pretty righteous tunes lately. Read on, true believers!
1. Arch Enemy – Silent Wars
An absolute scorcher from 2003's Anthems of Rebellion, screamer Angela Gossow puts many metal men to shame with her demonically heavy yet still understandable vocals. Ex-Carcass guitarist Michael Amott shreds his way through this track with technical prowess, speeding up and slowing it down in just the right places. (also check out one of his other band, stoner metal group Spiritual Beggars…good stuff).
2. Fight – Nailed to the Gun
A friend and I were having a great conversation the other day, mostly reminiscing about past metal shows and great metal bands we've listened to over the years, and Fight came up. He's one of the minority (like me) that also love their second album, A Small Deadly Space, which had a fairly different sound that the first album, War of Words. Nailed to the Gun was the first single released from the album, going in a heavier and more modern metal direction than Judas Priest's classic Painkiller, their last album before the split with Rob Halford.
3. Slayer – Angel of Death
I know, I had Slayer in last week's Six, but they were worth mentioning again this week. Once in a while, you see an internet meme that has you laughing then you realize, "Oh shit it's true!" I posted this to my Facebook page today, and started thinking about all the times I have done the same thing:
And what better song to air drum to than the all-time classic, Angel of Death?
4. Over Kill – In Vain
These NY thrashers have been around an astounding 32 years, and haven't slowed down a bit. This song, from 2010's Ironbound, is rock-solid, going from speedy thrash, to mid-tempo churning metal, and back again. They just released a new album in March, The Electric Age, and they still have it after all these years. Do yourself a favor and pick it up soon, and be sure to catch them at Empire this Friday.
5. Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band – Everybody's Getting Paid But Me
There's a lotta love in the music Reverend Peyton plays. From his distinctive howling vocals, to his wife Breezy's masterful way with the washboard, and the steady beat of Aaron "Cuz" Pershinger, they take the Delta Blues, mix it in with a swagger and energy that has translated to appearances at tours and festivals such as the Vans Warped Tour and Bonaroo, and toured with bands like Clutch and Flogging Molly. The stripped-down sound leads to a raw honesty in their music, not hiding behind any computers or overdubs, and it's a guarantee that you will be clapping your hands or stomping your feet after listening to the sermons of the good Reverend. (I'm gonna throw an extra video in here – this is a live in-store performance of the song Born Bred Corn Fed, a great example of their talent and energy)
6. Anthrax – What Doesn't Die
The opening track from 2003's We've Come For You All (their last album with singer John Bush), and a great song from (in my opinion) their best album of the Bush era. Remember the meme about air-drumming to Slayer? The same rule applies with Anthrax. Charlie Benante has always has some of the sockets drum lines in metal. Besides, it's a zombie video, so it automatically gets points in my book.

By BCPS Teacher of the Year Anne Cross
Parents often ask me how to promote learning over the summer. They realize what teachers realize: without active measures to promote learning, summer can become an educational wasteland. By the third week of summer, children are driving parents crazy with the incessant refrain, "I'm bored."
Summer is the perfect time to focus on your child's specific areas of interest. It's also important to focus on learning that is fun, even spontaneous. The summer provides opportunities to try out new things that just can't be explored in the confines of a classroom. Summer learning also provides opportunities for children and parents to spend time together. The following suggestions may help get you started.
Children love learning that allows them to get their hands dirty! For that reason, budding scientists will find growing their own vegetable garden to be fun and rewarding. In addition to promoting scientific concepts, growing a vegetable garden can also promote reading and math skills. What is better than eating the final product? You can't do that with a workbook!
Reading and following directions can be practiced in a number of fun and engaging ways. Craft projects that require reading promote these skills. They also offer a sense of accomplishment and pride in the finished product. Cooking is another way to practice reading, following directions and even math. You may be amazed by what your child will eat when he has prepared it himself.
We are so lucky to live in Maryland! There is so much to see and do at little to no cost. Take advantage of our state's beautiful natural wonders and sites of historical significance. When planning day trips, keep your child's interests, age and activity level in mind. Children don't want to listen to tour guides or be told, "Don't touch," so plan on visiting sites that are geared towards children. Rather than visiting a factory where something is made, visit a facility in which children can make something themselves.
Keep a summer scrapbook or journal. Encourage your child to write about the summer and your family adventures. Include photos, brochures and newspaper clippings in the scrapbook. Children might want to keep a scrapbook geared toward a particular interest. For example, a young Orioles fan might want to keep a scrapbook specifically related to his or her favorite baseball team.
The public library offers a highly-motivational summer reading program for our students in Baltimore County. My students always look forward to another summer adventure with "Sneaks." This summer reading program provides activities and incentives that will keep your child learning and engaged all summer.
Many children will spend their summer watching television or playing video games, but it doesn't have to be that way. With a little effort and planning, parents can provide learning opportunities that will make it possible for their children to build on what they have learned at school and be ready for a new school year. Learning doesn't only have to take place at school; it can happen anywhere, at anytime and with anyone. It's fun!

Parkinson Claims Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, Solidifies ASP Ratings Lead
Joel Parkinson (AUS), 28, has claimed the 2009 Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay in clean three-to-five foot (1 1.5 metre) surf over Damien Hobgood (USA), 30, strengthening his stranglehold on the ASP World Tour ratings lead.
Stop No. 5 of 10 on the 2009 ASP World Tour, the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay will go down as one of the finest in history, with the two final days of competition enjoying pumping surf and amazing performances, culminating in today's exciting finale. Parkinson wasted no time in the 40-minute Final, smashing an excellent 9.47 out of a possible 10 on his opening wave. The wave exhibited the Australian's unparalleled mastery of the Jeffreys Bay lineup, a symphony of beautiful forehand arcs and committed barrel riding, taking off from "Boneyards" section at the top of the point and riding well over 200 metres to the eruption of crowds on the beach. "I knew the waves were dying down towards the end of the day and it was going to be important to get on the board early in Final," Parkinson said. "I've been sitting up the point at Boneyards for most of the event and trying to find the ones that would run all the way down the point – that one was no different. As I stood up I had a really nice line on it and I tried to make the most of it. Turned out to be a crucial part of the heat." Today's win comes 10 years after Parkinson's inaugural victory at the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, last ascending the winner's dais in 1999 when he competed as a wildcard. Throughout the competition, time-and-again, Parkinson proved to be the form surfer, collecting two Perfect 10s (Round 3, Semifinals) as well as several 9-point plus rides as he deftly advanced through five heats of battle. This victory marks the phenomenal natural-footer's third ASP Dream Tour win this year alone, strengthening his position as frontrunner in the race for the ASP World Title. "The conditions for this event were just unbelievable and the surfing speaks for itself," Parkinson said. "The past two days are a bit of a blur – so many massive scores and barrels from everyone. In terms of the world title, I do my best not to think about it. In the past, I've done my head in by wondering how many points behind or ahead of someone I am, and this season, I've just focused on the task at hand. I've had a good start, but it's a long year and a lot can happen. I'm looking forward to heading home to see my family and training hard for the next one." Kelly Slater (USA), 37, reigning nine-time ASP World Champion and past four-time winner of the Billabong Pro Jeffreys Bay, fell to compatriot Knox in their Round 3 bout this morning. Starting the year with three uncharacteristic 17th place finishes, Slater rebounded with a win in Brazil last week, and was poised to threaten the current tour frontrunners with a strong showing in South Africa. However, today's equal 9th place finish and current ASP World No. 8 rating make a potential charge for an unprecedented 10th ASP World Title much more challenging for the Floridian. "I'm going to probably have to win three straight now to get back in this thing," Slater said. "If you do the numbers, I think before this contest, Parko (Joel Parkinson) was ten heats ahead of me, and if I want to contend, I need to catch up. That obviously wasn't happening for me today." The next stop on the 2009 ASP World Tour will be the Hurley Pro Trestles in Southern California from September 13 – 19, 2009.

Rags Magazine -- 1970s counterculture and fashion
Can you tell me more about Amanda Mayer Stinchecum? I recently found a costume study presumably done by her in 1960 (now on ebay as of today).
I wish I could tell you more, but I don't know any more. Maybe someone who does can comment.
