Let me open this by saying were it not for social media, you would not be reading my food and life blog on WNYPapers.com. Here's why:
When I decided to spin my blog away from an online news source in 2012 the first follower I had on my WordPress.com site was WNYPapers. It was not immediate but it got me thinking about the folks who were interested in reading my work. Who are they?
It's relatively easy to figure out with social media.
Primarily I use Facebook and Twitter. My foodie persona on Facebook is JudeTheFoodie and can be found here. Here people can chat with me directly and I find this to be the easiest way to have direct interaction with other foodie friends. By "liking" this page you can also become part of the conversation.
Twitter is still a mysterious social media to many with lots and lots of rules attached that to someone with little experience would view as mishmash. @JudeTheFoodie is the "handle" I use on Twitter to Tweet my foodie experiences including travel.
Here are just a few things to know about Twitter to help you understand the puzzling world of Tweeting.
When you "follow" someone you can read their Tweets (messages 140 characters or less). Unless they follow you, they cannot read your Tweets. The idea is that we follow folks with whom we are interested without regard to their wanting to know anything about us.
For example, I follow Martha Stewart. I can see all of her Tweets. She, however, (sadly) does not follow me. If I want a Tweet to get to her, even though she does not follow me, I can begin my Tweet with @MarthaStewart and it will show up on her feed. The feed is the list of Tweets from all of the people you follow.
Once you follow a large number of people the feed is very congested. You could spend the entire day reading your feed. I say that a Tweet is a lot like standing on the 50 yard of a stadium and speaking to a packed house without a microphone. In order for your Tweets to have any impact (and for most people to see them) you need to mention someone (using the "@" symbol and their Twitter handle like @MarthaStewart) or use a "#" called a hashtag.
The hashtag is a way to group Tweets. If you Tweet "I love watching #Chopped. The ingredients in the basket are crazy!" anyone else who enters #Chopped in the search area can see your Tweet. It's pretty cool and you can chat with folks from around the world.
I also post my columns on Pinterest. It is a cool way to group my recipes and travel articles in one place for people who do not follow me on WordPress.com. WordPress is the blogging platform I use and what runs my website. I am slowly gaining followers on my website. If you follow my blog at JudeTheFoodie.com you can click on follow. Whenever I post anything on my website you can read it on your WordPress.com reader.
Now, what does a ginger cake have to do with social media? The recipe I used the other day to make a very moist ginger cake can be found here: http://theworldinourkitchen.com/2011/03/08/ginger-cake/
I have never met Chef and Jen but due to social media I can say they are friends. We started following each other on Twitter which led to Facebook which led to Words With Friends which led to the realization we are only 50 miles apart. We hope to meet this summer.
Every day I post a "JudeTheFoodie.com Question of the Day." Late last week it was Cake or Pie? Over 600 people viewed that post (and I only have 159 followers on this Facebook page). Chef waxed poetic about his wife Jen's ginger cake. I asked for the recipe and through the power of social media I baked this cake a few days later.This cake is moist and dense. I little piece has a big impact. The recipe calls for ¾ or a cup of ginger and I used the whole piece which turned out to be a little over a cup. I think I will use the recommended amount next time because the ginger was very powerful (not unpleasant but strong).
Also, I recommend using a medium saucepan to heat the one cup of water. When you add the soda you have a bit of a chemistry experiment as it will bubble up. Add the chopped ginger to the pan, stir then add to the batter. Caution: this batter is much thinner than you would expect so don't worry, its fine.
The recipe does not call for any topping and while it does not need anything to taste wonderful I am going to make a sweet whipped cream to serve on the side the next time I make this great cake.
Please "Like" JudetheFoodie on Facebook and follow me on Twitter @JudeTheFoodie. Begin a Tweet with @JudeTheFoodie to let me know you read this column.
Have a yummy day!

In last month's show there was some speculation as to what reaction there would be from the organisations that supply 'traditional' library systems to the OCLC announcement of their web-scale, cloud computing, library system initiative.
In an attempt to answer that speculation I took the unusual step of bringing together a specific set of Library 2.0 Gang members from that community as against our usual open house of whoever is available.The result was an interesting conversation between Ex Libris' Carl Grant, Nicole Engard from LibLime, Talis' Rob Styles and newcomer from Axiell, Boris Zetterlund.
The initial reactions to hearing the announcement included "why did they take so long" and guarded "uh-ho". There were several aspects of, and reactions to, the announcement in the conversation - from welcoming the initiative, the inevitable move of library functionality to the cloud, questions about the size of library that would use it, the cost model, and of course issues about data and API availability.

Published January 13, 2015
Two rare documents from a fleeting time after the Civil War when the University of South Carolina first admitted African-American students and faculty are going on display.
A law school diploma from the university and a South Carolina law license granted in 1876 to Richard Theodore Greener, the first African-American faculty member of the university, are being unveiled at noon EDT Tuesday at the South Caroliniana Library on the school's Columbia campus.
The exhibition explores contributions blacks made in the university's history before segregation. It coincides with the university's year-long remembrance of events leading up to 1963, when the school again admitted black students in the Civil Rights era.
Authorities say both documents were saved from a Chicago home awaiting demolition in 2009. It's not known how they got there.


text: From 'The King is Dead', the album released this year, the video was directed by Michael Schur, who is known for co-creating NBC's The Office. The clip is a dark tribute to David Foster Wallace 1996 novel Infinite Jest, which is a dystopian vision of North America in the near future. "I had this funny idea that a good video for the song would be a re-creation of the Enfield Tennis Academy's round of Eschaton – basically, a global thermonuclear crisis re-created on a tennis court – that's played about a third of the way into the book," Meloy told NPR. "I found a kindred spirit in Michael Schur, a man with an even greater enthusiasm for Wallace's work than my own. With much adoration and respect to this seminal, genius book, this is what we've come up with." (courtesy songfacts.com)[jwplayer config="cassette" mediaid="14927″]

YORK, PA – York College senior guard April Sparkman (Walkersville, Md./Walkersville) has been named to the d3hoops.com All-Atlantic first-team as announced by the national website dedicated to covering Division III basketball. Sparkman helped lead the Spartans to 24 wins and their second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools. There were 683 players nominated nationwide, a new high. The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for a predetermined number of players in their region.
Sparkman finishes her career as a three-time all-region honoree. Sparkman earned second-team honors as a junior (2009-10) and third team accolades as a sophomore (2008-09) for the Spartans. She returned to the Spartan lineup after missing last season due to a knee injury. Her return to the lineup enabled the Spartans to jump eight wins after going 16-13 in her absence.
Sparkman was a huge part of the Spartans run to their second Sweet 16 in four years. She led the Spartans in scoring at 16.2 points per game. She shot 41.1% from the field, 33.3% from beyond the arc and 71.3% from the charity stripe. She contributed 7.4 rebounds per game while she also handed out 69 assists, blocked 29 shots and collected 31 steals in her 29 games played. She was one of two Spartans to play over 1,000 minutes for the year, finishing with 1,036 minutes played for a team-high 35.7 minutes per game.
Spartan head coach Betsy Witman was thrilled to see her super senior earn the all-region honor.
"April was such a huge part of our success this season," stated Witman. "She did a great job of coming back from injury and was an outstanding leader for our young team. It was a wonderful way for her to end her career. She will go down as one of the best players to ever play at York."
The senior guard finished her career with 1,615 points, good for third on the all-time list. She was a career 44.6% shooter from the field while she converted 35.6% from three. Sparkman drained 75.5% of her free throws including a career-best 84.2% as a sophomore. She accumulated 767 career rebounds while she also had 248 assists, 110 blocked shots and 108 steals in a school-record 110 games.
Sparkman notched a number of career highs this season. She set a new scoring standard with a school-record tying 36 points in the November 30 win at Wesley. She also tied her career-high with four steals in the NCAA tournament game win at Juniata.
Sparkman is slated to graduate in May with her biology degree.

What does this mean for the bread-and-butter controversies in bioethics: Abortion? Euthanasia? Destructive embryonic stem cell research? Well, it's pretty clear from the above that certain types of arguments do not count: Reference to the infinite value of the human being based on claims about 'ensoulment' won't succeed as there ain't any empirical evidence that the human soul exists to begin with. Waving the Christian or Islamic magic wands (aka Bible or Koran) won't bring this soul into existence. Still, the important bit is perhaps, that humanist bioethics, so understood, leaves room for very significant disagreement on many subject matters that bioethicists are concerned about. However, humanist bioethics limits the types of arguments that can legitimately be deployed to those arguments that are not relying on higher God type entities and their authority.
Having attended and lectured during quite a few meetings of atheist and humanist groups, I have often encountered a clear misconception of what humanist ethics or humanist bioethics could possibly be. All too often there was the assumption that humanist ethics or bioethics would somehow free us from the most reactionary provisions of Christian or Islamic ideologies while offering motherhood and apple pie type solutions to ethical conflict or controversy. I suspect (!) that empirically that might well be true with regard to standard reactionary mainstream religions' provisions (prohibitions on homosexuality, voluntary euthanasia, etc). Peter Singer pointed out quite rightly in an early chapter of his book Practical Ethics that ethics does not give sexuality specific guidance. Sex as such does not give rise to special ethical issues. Ethics might admonish us not to hurt others while we engage in sexual intercourse, but the prohibition on harming others is not sex related, rather it is an ethical obligation not to harm others that also applies to sex. Secular approaches to ethics or bioethics would very likely free us from conservative religious infringements on personal freedom spaces. Humanists are more likely to ponder about the lives we live here and now as opposed to focusing on an afterlife that we don't think is awaiting us anyhow.

Bottle basics
It takes a little trial & error.
Get a few different brands to try—Baby will let you know which bottle they like best. If your little one has colic or gas issues, bottles with air-vent systems are here to help.
Start with a level 1 or slow-flow nipple (months 0–3). The higher the number, the larger the hole. If your little one is sucking fiercely & getting frustrated, try a higher-flow nipple.
You will be washing a ton of bottles. Make handwashing a little more fun with a cute drying rack. Using a dishwasher? Snag a basket that keeps all the little parts together.

Peace Officers Memorial Run today
Douglas County deputies will be picking up the baton 7 a.m. today in the 15th annual Nevada Law Enforcement Memorial Relay Run from Las Vegas to Carson City.
The more than 400-mile run left Las Vegas on April 24. Divided into 126 segments for the 126 names on the Nevada Law Enforcement Officer's Memorials, law enforcement agencies throughout the state participate.
Douglas County will meet participants from Lyon County at Jack Wright Pass along Highway 208 and bring the baton up Highway 395 through Gardnerville and Minden at around lunchtime. They'll turn the baton over to Carson City for the last leg of the trip near Indian Hills. The ceremony is noon Thursday in Carson City.
The baton contains the names of three fallen officers, including Las Vegas Metro Police Officer David VanBusKirk, who died July 23, 2013, after falling during an aerial helicopter rescue of a stranded hiker. He was a 13-year veteran of the department.
Also honored will be Southern Pacific Railroad officers John Montague, who was killed Jan. 5, 1905, in Sparks, and Jose Sancedo, who was murdered in a Palisade robbery Aug. 11, 1937.
Batons will be presented to the families of the three officers during the ceremony on Thursday.

- Adaptations work best when they preserve the spirit, not every page, of a book
- A successful franchise can lead to others being marketed same way; that's wrong, authors say
"Hunger Games" heroine Katniss Everdeen returns to the big screen this weekend with the second installment in the young adult fantasy trilogy, "Catching Fire."
For months, bloggers have been anticipating Sam Claflin's portrayal of Finnick Odair and buzzing about how Katniss' face-off with President Snow and the Victory Tour will translate to the screen.
Young adult book-to-film adaptations are a steady draw for viewers: J.K. Rowling has signed on for yet more Harry Potter films, and a new class of YA novels is set to be adapted to the screen starting in 2014: Veronica Roth's "Divergent," John Green's "The Fault in Our Stars," James Dashner's "The Maze Runner" and Gayle Forman's "If I Stay," to name a few.
With loyal, built-in fan bases for these best-selling books, the hype comes as no surprise. After all, the idea behind movie adaptations, besides franchise-building, is to give readers a new opportunity to walk through their favorite world.
"It's a chance to fall in love with the characters all over again when readers can see the books come to life," Erin Setelius of the YA Book Addicts blog said. "It's like a little reward for loving the books."
Film adaptations are a balancing act of fan expectations and filmmaker priorities -- especially when fans have grown up with a book series or character. If a movie deviates too far from the book's plot, changes characters or fudges dialogue, readers can quickly lose faith in it.
So what is the recipe for a well-made YA book-to-film adaptation? Authors and filmmakers agree it doesn't include putting every single page on the screen.
Preserving the soul
"When I saw the first 'Twilight' film, I came out of that with butterflies in my stomach," Forman said. "I felt exactly like I did reading the book, and that's what you want from the film. With so many adaptations happening right now, it speaks to that emotional resonance of YA books and how that translates to the screen."
One of the biggest challenges of adapting a book for the screen is deciding what stays, what goes and how those pages will translate in a film while maintaining the essence and emotional ties of the story, authors say.
"I think 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' is one of the best adaptations of YA literature we've ever had," said author and filmmaker Bryan Young. "Director Alfonso Cuarón was the best at taking the spirit of what the book was and boiling it down. He created a new look and feel for the Harry Potter movies that set the tone going forward in a way that no one else really did."
Young said a skillful culling of the book's themes also helped the first "Hunger Games" story translate easily to film. Director Gary Ross made a movie that newcomers could appreciate, while discarding parts of the book that didn't make sense on the screen.
Forman has signed on to be executive producer of the adaptation of her popular novel "If I Stay." She hopes to be a conduit between her readers and the film's producers, making sure that key scenes, players and touchstones are included.
Casting is an essential part of the equation, too. Fans want to believe in the actors portraying their favorite characters, from appearance to personality.
"As a reader, you have ideas of characters in your head," Forman said. "But for my story, everyone has been so perfectly cast. It's like someone reached into my head and pulled out Mia in the form of Chloe Moretz. If I'm feeling this way, I think the readers will feel that way too."
Brian Selznick didn't have a formal role in the adaptation of his children's book, "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," but he believes "Hugo" was still a faithful, loving production by director Martin Scorsese and screenwriter John Logan. Scorsese and the entire film crew read and had copies of the book on set at all times, using Selznick's drawings as storyboards.
"If you have a director who loves the original material and a writer who is respectful, you can find that middle ground," Selznick said. "They can maintain the core of what makes it work as a book, yet have something only the cinema can bring to it."
Negative influences
Before the rise of Internet culture, films were made in a relative vacuum, and potential fans didn't know much about a movie until the trailer released. Now, movie headlines are created before the script is even finished, and fans aren't afraid to share their opinions on the script, casting and plot.
"You have all of these voices who think they are absolutely right," Young said. "Then the filmmaker has to do their job and take all of this into account. It's not fair to expect them to work as an artist under those conditions."
Marketing has also taken on a comparative aspect. Selling a dystopian tale such as "Divergent" as the next "Hunger Games" creates the wrong expectations going into the movie, Setelius said.
This could be a contributing factor to the lackluster box office numbers for other YA adaptations outside of the "Harry Potter," "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" franchises. But the tide could turn with hype over upcoming films like "Divergent" and long-awaited adaptations such as Lois Lowry's "The Giver."
"I do think that when a YA book goes to the movies, it's sort of polarizing," said YA writer Margaret Stohl. "You're going to endure a storm one way or another: are you like 'Twilight,' or 'Hunger Games'? But in truth, those movies also did a lot for YA books being adapted."
Stohl is co-author with Kami Garcia of the "Beautiful Creatures" series. The first book became a film in March 2013, and Stohl's YA novel "Icons" has also been optioned by Alcon.
The "Beautiful Creatures" movie, based on a 600-page Southern Gothic YA novel, drew mixed reviews from fans. But the movie helped to bring in 4 million new readers this year, Stohl said.
Doing it right
Stephen Chbosky adapted his beloved novel, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," to the screen in 2012. That was 13 years after the book debuted.
Fans fell in love all over again with the coming-of-age tale of shy teenager Charlie, while new viewers empathized quickly. Chbosky's challenge was to faithfully preserve the boy's story without reciting the book triumph for triumph, humiliation for humiliation.
"I think that the process of turning 'Perks' into a movie was the most gratifying and challenging work I've ever done professionally," he said. "I had to do a real adaptation -- I couldn't just film the book. It was a real balancing act to simultaneously be emotionally very inside the piece and at the same time always be outside of it to keep it on the train tracks."
He wrote a version of the screenplay including almost every detail of the book. It gave Chbosky a chance to self-edit, cutting back on small details or scenes that didn't focus on central characters.
Chbosky wanted to maintain the audience of his readers, both from 1999 and now, bringing teens and parents together around issues that kids of all generations face.
It's something that YA film adaptations continue to do, and Chbosky is hopeful that Forman's upcoming film will have a similar impact: "I do believe that these books and these movies can change lives."

Chasing Online Criminal GhostsBy Ericka Chickowski | Posted 2008-08-22 Print
For those online criminals who are not limited by the law, regulation and security technology, the ways of making money with online scams, identity theft, and hacking are limited only by criminal creativity. There is a thriving underworld of online criminals who are having a major impact on the lives of the innocent and the those trying to protect themselves in the age of security.
Chasing Online Criminal Ghosts
Just as in the everyday criminal world, the cybercriminal population is made up of a network of lone wolves and organized criminals. Some of the solo artists truly are in it for themselves, but many more are contracted specialists or thugs hired out to do dirty work. Often they are the "face" of a much more shadowy organization that's hired them—the honchos live in obscurity by distributing the workforce, a sort of militaristic "need-to-know" work model that covers the connections.
"Like any other organized crime [group], they have few people at the very top where the money is being funneled up to, and as you go down to the bottom of the hierarchy, there are lots of foot soldiers. They even advertise for particular technical skills," says Paul Ferguson, advanced threat researcher for TrendMicro. "You've got one guy doing Apache security mods [modifications that are hacks, in this case, of the Apache Web server], and another guy is doing social engineering campaigns, and another guy is writing SMTP mailers [email spam], and another guy is doing money-mule operations and work-at-home schemes."
A lot of this bottom-level work is done piecemeal, contracted out to various foot soldiers, he says, who often have multiple projects going on at once for several 'employers.'
"So one of them may be part of one operation and part of [a second] operation and part of another operation all at the same time," he says. "It's really confusing that way to identify who's pulling the strings."
Making things even more complicated for researchers are the solo artists who hide out in the open. These individuals may not necessarily commit crimes, but they'll enable them by writing malcode and selling it to other criminals. For example, take Mr. Brain, a hacker known for developing phishing kits for criminals who lack the technical skills or the initiative to develop their own theft tools.
*Want more info on the most notorious organized hacking organizations? Take a glance at Baseline's 10 Notorious Cyber Gangs.
"His name is a brand. His kits are of the highest quality," says Don Jackson, director of threat intelligence at SecureWorks. "Mr. Brain became famous when he introduced a 'free' phishing kit. Instead of paying for it, you get a free kit—but what he didn't tell you is that hidden in the code of the kit, whatever information your victim types into your phishing site, he gets a copy of. So the way you paid for your kit was [that] you got a copy of everything [that] you convinced people to enter into your site."
Jackson says that even though Mr. Brain is collecting all of this information, researchers have been unable to pinpoint when and where he's been using it. He walks the streets of Morocco a free man because the government there is not as cooperative as some in cracking down on hackers like him.
Similarly, there's another hacker in China who runs a studio that takes credit for developing the popular Trojan Grey Pigeon. This nasty bit of code has been used prolifically by bad guys in China and across the globe to steal information and subvert government systems.
"He is very public, he has his own blog up, but he doesn't sell his wares publicly anymore because he has a standard set of clients. His clients are really the ones [who] are doing the damage, but he supplies them [with] the tools," Jackson says. "His clients are much more shadowy, whereas he is very open. He says, 'No, these are legitimate tools; nothing I'm doing is illegal.' But we know that he does not have a full-time job and makes lots of money. Basically we see his fingerprints on these customized backdoor programs that are used in attacks all the time."

Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion
Given the spate of atheist manifestos in recent years, I ought to give this a full review. In the mean time, I'll say Dawkins fires some legitimate shots at religion, and it's an educational read. In the end though, his case for lack of faith falls short, especially for those of us who can't imagine that the science-revealed universe, vast and profound, is ultimately meaningless. (****)
Steve Coll: Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001
A long but worthwhile read on U.S. policy and covert operations in Afghanistan from the Soviet invasion to 9/11. If you want an appreciation of just how challenging the situation is over there, this is the book. You'll also come away not minding President Obama taking his time on strategy. (*****)

To have faith, you must also contend with doubt. The two go hand in hand. Can it be? John Ortberg thinks so. I really liked this book. The conclusion didn't blow me away, but there are many powerful moments otherwise. A great book both for those who struggle to believe and those who don't. (****)

VIDEO: Hall of Famer Bernard King was an unstoppable force on the basketball court
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — The wake-up call for Bernard King came the morning after the 2015 Naismith Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
The night before he'd spent a good hour talking with fellow Hall of Famer and former teammate Moses Malone about everything but basketball. It was a joyful time, King said, a chance for old friends to catch up on one another's lives after the game.
But before King could open the door on his car as he headed to the airport that next morning, he received the news that Malone had died suddenly, yet another member of the NBA family gone way too soon.
That's one reason why King was one of 25 retired NBA players to take part in a cardiovascular screening for local NBA alumni Saturday at Philips Arena, a program sponsored by the Hawks in conjunction with the NBA, the Players Association and the Retired Players Association.
"We've lost a lot of guys over the last couple of years," King said, "Moses, Darryl Dawkins, Jerome Kersey and before that Pat Cummings, just to name a few. And a lot of these guys have died of heart attacks. So I think it's great that the league, the players association and the retired players association are joining forces to try and figure out why that is and what we can do to adequately provide for everyone."
Malone died in September of a cardiovascular disease, a month after Dawkins died of a heart attack. It's the loss of those close to you, King said, makes the reality of the situation even more real for he and his fellow retired players.
"It certainly hits home," he said. "These are guys you've competed against and played with or against for so many years. I sat with Moses for 90 minutes at the Hall of Fame just laughing and joking about everything you can think of going back to our days playing together in Washington. We didn't even talk about basketball. Before I could even get in the car the next morning Meadowlark Lemon, who we just recently lost, and Artis Gilmore stopped me and asked if I'd heard about Moses. I said, 'what are you taking about? I was just with him last night.' And they told me he'd died last night. So yes, it's disheartening that anyone would lose their life like that, whether they were a professional athlete or otherwise. The bottom line is, too many guys are dying at too young an age."
That's one of the main reasons the cardiovascular screening program was initiated, said Joe Rogowski, the NBPA's Director of Sports Medicine and Research. The first one was held in Houston in December. Saturday's event included Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins, Hawks Vice Chairman Grant Hill, who was instrumental in the event being held at Philips Arena, as well as more recently retired players like Tony Delk.
"This is fantastic," Delk said. "I'm 42 and very conscious of my health now that I've stopped playing. So when I heard they were offering this program free to retired players, I made sure to get my name on the list. When you're playing, you take so much of this for granted, you're talking about some of the best-conditioned athletes in the world. But none of us is immune to the issues that come with getting older."
Rogowski worked in the league for a decade and said that the NBPA's executive committee was discussing player health and retired player's health during a meeting and idea for the screening program came out that exchange. It was placed on a high-priority list by the executive committee and fast-tracked for this season.
The NBA and the NBRPA jumped on board immediately when informed about the program, Rogowski said, and now that they have the Houston and Atlanta screenings in the books, there is much more to come.
"It's been a truly collaborative effort," he said. "From the NBPA, the NBRPA and the league to all of the specialists we fly in from all over the country to the teams, both Houston and here in Atlanta, for allowing us to set up shop and use the space in the arenas. It's the same group that goes from city to city. And were thankful we're doing it, because we've found some things that need to be addressed. And this is just the first step in a long-term process that will help us address the needs of the players, past, present and in the future."
Rogowski cited the program's mobility as one of the crucial elements to the success of the first two screening events. It can travel and reach the retired players in a place that is familiar and comfortable for them.
"I consider this a golden opportunity," said King, 59, who has lived in the Atlanta area for over 15 years. "You have the finest experts here, health-wise, to check you out and ensure that your body is okay and functioning the way it should be. Those opportunities don't always present themselves to you after you are done playing, so I made sure to get my name on the list before it filled up, because it was first come first serve."

What the ring of canals is for Amsterdam, Gamla Stan is for Stockholm: elegant and splendid, with colourful merchant's homes, lovely squares and a majestic royal palace. Looking out from the rooftop, it is easy to see why Amsterdam is no match for Stockholm as the 'Venice of the North': this is genuinely a city on the water.
The numerous attractions of Gamla Stan are as regal as the palace. The Storkyrkan cathedral is the setting of fairytale weddings and coronations and Riddarholmskyrkan is the final resting place of all Swedish monarchs since the 17th century. This small island is the greatest tourist attraction of Stockholm and for good reason. Apart from the palace and Parliament, Gamla Stan is also home to excellent restaurants, surprising museums and charming cafés. Quiet winding streets and staired alleys with wooden houses merge with old squares with stately merchants' homes.
With no say in the matter, the guards of honour standing in front of the gates of Stockholm's Slott are the frequent subject of a favourite Kodak moment. This is the oldest royal palace in the world that still serves as a royal palace and, with its 1,430 rooms, is also one of the largest in Europe. The changing of the guard, daily at 12:15 pm (Sundays at 13:15 pm), is an impressive sight. The military parade makes its way by horse or foot from the Army Museum through the old city to the palace.
Kungliga Slottet, Gamla Stan, tel. 0046 8 402 6130,www.royalcourt.se
, T-bana Gamla Stan
The medieval heart of Gamla Stan is Stortorget (the 'Big Square'), which is surrounded by pastel-coloured merchants' homes. This was where the famous bloodbath of Stockholm took place in 1520, when close to 100 aristocrats were executed. Nowadays, hip Swedes enjoy cafè lattes at the Kaffekoppen and Chokladkoppen outdoor cafés here. The old stock exchange building houses the Nobel Museum, with its modern furnishings and high-tech displays. Here you can watch films on all Nobel prize-winners, a complete moving Nobel encyclopaedia and display cases that exhibit the most famous invention of Stockholm native Alfred Nobel: dynamite.
Stortorget, Gamla Stan, T-bana Gamla Stan
The Riddarholmskyrkan is located on the adjacent Riddarsholmen, 'Knight Island'. This royal church is not often visited by tourists, even though it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. Sections of it date back to the 13th century, when it was built by Franciscan friars. Perhaps even more importantly, it is the final resting place of virtually every Swedish monarch since the 17th century. The brick church itself is Gothic, and eye-catching features include an openwork cast-iron steeple and Baroque burial chapel. Guided tours are offered daily in English at 2:00 pm.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt: Report
According to the Sun, 'Tudors' star Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized Tuesday night after a possible suicide attempt involving pills.
The 33-year-old actor was reportedly found slumped on the floor of his London home, where he was then taken by paramedics to a nearby hospital. He was later discharged in the early morning hours on Wednesday, according to the report.
When reached by the Sun, Meyers had no comment.
"We can confirm we were called by the London Ambulance Service to an address in NW8 to report to a man refusing treatment," a spokesperson for Scotland Yard later told PEOPLE. "Police attended, and the man was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital. That was the end of our involvement."
Myers has a history of alcohol addiction, and has done multiple stints in rehab, including one in May.

Sioux Falls Woman Victimized by Scam
Police say a 75-year-old Sioux Falls woman has been scammed out of $2,300 by a man who called and claimed to be her son.
Officer Sam Clemens says the woman got a call from a man who said he was her son. He told her he was in Grenada, had been in a car wreck and needed money.
The woman "wired" money, but got a second call from the same man, saying he needed more money for the injuries he had supposedly suffered.
The woman realized she had been victimized when she was able to contact her actual son by phone.
Clemens says it's almost impossible to trace such money orders once they have been cashed.

Crime and Punishment: Using criminal law to support growth and economic recovery
Inaugural meeting of the Expert Group on EU Criminal Policy – Brussels
19 June 2012
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great pleasure to open the first meeting of the Commission's expert group on EU criminal law.
I am delighted that you are willing to assist the European Commission in designing and delivering an EU criminal policy.
I am happy to see some familiar faces. Some of you have already provided much appreciated input to our policy-making over the past years. The "Manifesto on European Criminal Policy", of Professors Satzger, Foffani, Asp and others, is a good example. Others have had official and operational responsibilities in European matters such as Mike Kennedy with Eurojust and Igor Dzialuk. You are all most welcome.
We are at a delicate juncture of European integration. The crisis has triggered a necessary debate about where we stand in Europe and where we are headed. Europe is at a crossroads at the moment. I am convinced that the current crisis will lead to a stronger European Union than the one we have today: a stronger Economic and Monetary Union and a full Political Union. A Union that is at the service of the citizens, and puts the fundamental rights of citizens even more at the heart of all its activities.
To achieve the goal of a stronger Union we need to build a bridge to the future: a bridge to bring the necessary solidity and confidence about how Europe will be governed in 2020.
I see your work as part of building such a bridge. You will assist the Commission in developing a coherent and consistent approach to criminal law and in meeting the ambitions set out by the Treaty of Lisbon in this area.
Criminal law has a very particular nature. It is a stern social control mechanism with deep impact on fundamental civil liberties.
It is therefore important that we pay utmost attention to the clear legal and democratic limits of EU action in this field.
European Union criminal law must be developed on a solid bed of fundamental rights, and notably of fair trial rights. It must also be developed in agreement with the European Parliament, in close contact with the national Parliaments and in respect of the different legal systems and traditions of all our Member States.
This was not always the case. During the pre-Lisbon time of the old "third pillar", criminal law lived in the shadows of European politics and European law. In the shadows and behind the closed doors of the Council of Ministers where decisions were taken without public debate, without democratic scrutiny by the European Parliament and without full judicial review.
As a result the EU developed a series of less-than-perfect European laws many of which have never been fully transposed.
Things have now changed. The Treaty of Lisbon and the legally binding Charter of Fundamental of Rights have made us better equipped to fight cross-border crime with criminal law. The Commission proposes legislation; the European Parliament and the Council are co-legislators; national Parliaments scrutinise the respect of subsidiarity and all this is subject to judicial review by the Court of Justice. With the Treaty of Lisbon, the European Commission can also play its role as guardian of the Treaty fully. Accordingly we will make sure that Member States correctly transpose what they agree to and when necessary we will ensure this by way of infringement proceedings.
The Treaty of Lisbon also bestows us with an extra responsibility to carefully define the fundamental interests we want to protect with criminal law.
Criminal law is a sensitive policy field. It reflects societal values. We can determine what conduct needs to be treated as criminal by looking at when a reasonable man or woman thinks the conduct is unacceptable to our moral fabric. However, and as criminal law intrudes heavily on the fundamental rights of people, we also have to decide what defines a reasonable person.
At European Union level, differences amongst the national systems remain substantial. This is the case when it comes to types and levels of sanctions as well as the classification of certain conducts as an administrative or criminal offence. Action at the level of the European Union must therefore tackle gaps to ensure that criminals can neither hide behind borders nor abuse differences between national legal systems.
I count on your expertise to live up to that challenge and responsibility and enable the European Commission to develop a more coherent and consistent approach to criminal law – one that is effective and at the same time respectful of the different legal systems and traditions in Europe.
To meet this objective we will need to hear from academics, practitioners, judges, defence lawyers and prosecutors. In short, we need the advice of all those who will apply the European Union laws that we are shaping.
Your long-standing expertise and experience in applying criminal law on a daily basis is therefore key to achieving that objective successfully.
I see three areas of priorities where the Commission expects you to focus your work:
First, the fight against fraud affecting the financial interests of the European Union to ensure that taxpayer's money is protected to an equivalent degree across the Union. In 2010, €600 million worth of suspected fraud were reported by Member States from the EU money they manage. Effectively protecting the EU budget means ensuring that taxpayers' money is only used to promote growth and solidarity in Europe. EU money should not be pocketed by criminals. Protecting EU money requires common criminal law rules. And we need to ensure that such rules are of the highest standard. We are preparing proposals to modernise the pre-Lisbon rules on common definitions, jurisdiction and limitation periods. This will also be a first step towards preparing future proposals on establishing a European Public Prosecutor's Office in line with the ambitions of the Treaty of Lisbon. The aim is clear: to ensure that fraud to the EU budget does not go unpunished.
Second, we also need you to work on strengthening the rules protecting the euro against counterfeiting through criminal law. This is essential to strengthen the public's trust in the security of means of payment in the common currency of the European Union – our currency – and a currency that is irreversible and forever.
Third, I would also like to hear from you on the areas where criminal law can contribute to growth and to the economic recovery. Criminal law can help tackle the illegal economy and financial criminality. This is particularly relevant when we use criminal law as a necessary tool to ensure effective enforcement of European policies and laws. This is why, last November, I presented minimum rules on criminal offences and on criminal sanctions for market abuse. These can help ensure the effectiveness of Union policy on financial markets. Criminal convictions for market abuse offences also help to improve deterrence as they demonstrate to potential offenders that the authorities take enforcement actions seriously and that these can result in imprisonment or other criminal sanctions as well as a criminal record. These are examples of how criminal law can help deter money from fuelling criminal activity.
To help achieve results in these areas of priority, this afternoon you will address some of the challenges that lie before us. As an example, you will discuss what are "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" sanctions in Member States' specific context? How can we ensure that the common rules do not remain "paper tigers" but bring our systems closer together, for the benefit of our citizens and businesses? The Lisbon Treaty offers fresh opportunities. But we need to reflect carefully about what the EU criminal law policy can achieve. Respect for the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality is of great importance in Union law-making. It is also very much the case when it comes to criminal law, as we all understand that criminal law should always be a last resort.
You will also discuss the interplay between administrative and criminal sanctions. I count on you to help us reach a common understanding of the criteria that define criminal law, the role of administrative and criminal sanctions and how they can best complement each other.
In line with the mandate of this group, I have focused on the punitive aspects of an EU criminal policy. But I cannot conclude without stressing the importance of balancing substantive criminal law with procedural law strengthening fair trial rights. These are two sides of the same coin, and we need to ensure that we aim for high protection standards, not simply for the smallest common denominator.
I am glad to see the significant progress we have made in these areas over the last two years. Two measures – on interpretation and translation and on the right to information, establishing the Letter of Rights – have already been published in the Official Journal and are now being transposed by the Member States. Negotiations on a third measure – on the right to access to a lawyer and the right to notification of arrest – are advancing fast. We are also putting the finishing touches on new legislation on the rights of victims of crime to ensure that victims will soon be granted a stronger and more respectful standing in criminal proceedings throughout the European Union.
Common standards for procedural and victims' rights are an indispensable basis for mutual trust across Europe in the area of criminal justice. Only on this basis can we really move closer to a true European area of Justice.
Distinguished experts,
As I said earlier, the Treaty of Lisbon makes it clear: legislation in this area must "respect the different legal systems and traditions of the Member States".
This requires solid knowledge and understanding of these traditions. This should be the starting point of our work in this area. We depend on your input. The group gathered today brings together experts from across the European Union and represents the diversity of the major legal traditions of the European Union. This diversity will make your advice even more important and effectively associate European Criminal Policy with the constitutional traditions of all our Member States, thus ensuring its full compliance with the rule of law.
I wish you every success in making the law work better for those whom it affects. Our citizens deserve nothing less. Thank you also for your invaluable contribution to making our European Union a safer, fairer and more perfect Union.

This is an entry into the CCCX Winter Scene category:
Trying to navigate Devil's Pass in good weather is a slippery slope, but when a group of BCC warriors tried to get through right after an early winter storm, the trip became treacherous.
One of the warriors slipped at the corner of the pass. As he held on for dear life, the other men backed a horse to the edge to pull him back up. Unfortunately the horse could not get any traction, and the day turned from bad to worse very quickly!

Scott O'Malia, a Republican who used his position on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to criticize some of the agency's efforts to rein in the $700 trillion global swaps market, said he will resign next month.
O'Malia, 46, the longest-serving member of the current CFTC panel, will step down effective Aug. 8 after more than four years at the agency, he said in a letter released today.
O'Malia is leaving as the CFTC transitions to a new slate of commissioners and shifts from writing to enforcing rules put in place under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.
"Although I did not support all 63 rules that the commission has implemented under Dodd-Frank, I am pleased to have contributed to the policy deliberations to improve commission rulemakings," O'Malia said in a resignation letter sent today to President Barack Obama.
O'Malia said he was leaving "to pursue other opportunities" without specifying what those were. He didn't immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment.
Agency Chairman Timothy Massad and two additional commissioners were confirmed by the U.S. Senate last month.
O'Malia was a frequent critic of the CFTC's rulemaking process under former chairman Gary Gensler, arguing often that the agency was sidestepping procedural responsibilities to assess the costs and benefits of regulations.
In recent speeches, O'Malia criticized the agency's policies and a lack of international coordination that has fragmented the global market. He also has called for a reassessment of the impact of the rules on agricultural firms and manufacturers that use swaps to hedge risks.
O'Malia used his oversight of a technology advisory committee to the agency to press for improved oversight of data in the swaps and futures markets traded at CME Group Inc. and Intercontinental Exchange Inc.
"I have very much appreciated Scott's assistance, advice and friendship," Massad said in a statement. "I appreciate his dedication to the agency, and his leadership in advancing technology at the CFTC."
Dodd-Frank expanded the agency's powers in an effort to reduce risk and increase transparency after unregulated swaps trades helped fuel the 2008 credit crisis. The CFTC regulations are designed to have most interest-rate, credit-default and other swaps guaranteed at central clearinghouses and traded on platforms accessible to money managers and banks.
The regulations were among the most controversial elements of the Dodd-Frank law and spurred lobbying and legal battles against the agency by JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., CME Group Inc. and other financial firms.
(Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News, operates a swap-execution facility regulated by the CFTC.)

- "Well done. You win, jackass."
- ―Gay Tony to Luis Lopez
Ladies' Night is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony, given by Gay Tony to Luis Fernando Lopez.
You meet Gay Tony who tells you that Gracie has been kidnapped by some Irish goons and some guy who came to look at her pink Feltzer. Her father believes that Gay Tony is to blame for this so Tony insists that they go look for her. After the cutscene ends, go the Helipad and use the Ancelotti's helicopter to look for her. Gay Tony tells the location of the last known location of the kidnapper and you have to follow him to her location. You find out where she is kept and Gay Tony texts her location to Don Ancelotti, who sends out thugs to get her back at the start of She's a Keeper.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go and get the chopper
- The suspected kidnapper is near Meadows Park
- Follow the kidnapper to where Gracie is
- Now take the chopper back to the helipad
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in under 8:50
Have 0% helicopter damage
Stay close to Patrick's Comet
Stay low, but at a reasonable altitude above Patrick's Comet
Get to the Alderney side Booth Tunnel Helipad to get to Meadows Park. You'll see the kidnapper getting in a red Comet. Follow him to Gracie's location, and keep a low altitude. The kidnapper will go to Charge Island, driving to Algonquin and circling Middle Park, then he will put down the pedal on Columbus Avenue to the skyscrapers of Star Junction making it quite difficult to have a low altitude. He'll then go through the Booth Tunnel, He has two exits, so go back to the Helipad where you picked up the chopper. In Alderney, the kidnapper will stop in a large car park, forcing you to stop and wait. He will then go to the safehouse where Gracie is. While Tony is texting Gracie's father, get back to the Helipad.
Video Walkthrough
- The mission name is most likely a reference to the Kool & the Gang song of the same name, although it could be coincidental.
- There is a typo in the subtitles when you are going back to the helipad. Luis will say "a fucking shame", while the subtitles read "fucking a shame".
- Before coming straight to Gracie, Packie stops in the parking lot in Westdyke. He was likely leaving a bomb for Niko in the garage, because it is one of the various locations he will leave one once his friendship bonus is unlocked.
- When Luis gets to the Ancelotti helicopter, Tony tells him that Packie's house is in Cerveza Heights, but the on-screen directions tell you to go to Meadows Park which is where his house actually is.
- This mission is evidently linked to the GTA IV mission She's a Keeper, this explains how the Ancelotti goons found Gracie's hideout, forcing Niko Bellic to escort her to a different hideout.
- If you get too close to Packie's car, Tony will say: "Don't spook him, Luis!" to which Luis may reply: "Yeah, because a paranoid man who always looks for a helicopter over his shoulder." This may be a reference to Phil Bell from the main story; Phil is very paranoid and whenever he meets Niko, he will frequently question Niko if he was followed, if their car is bugged, or if there are surveillance helicopters. However, it is also likely a reference to the 1990 film Goodfellas, in which Ray Liotta's main character becomes paranoid that a helicopter is following him everywhere he goes. Goodfellas has been cited by the design team as one of the movies that inspired Grand Theft Auto III, and Ray Liotta voiced the protagonist of GTA Vice City.
- After this mission, Rocco Pelosi will call Luis, telling him that he is keeping an eye on Luis, and to keep Tony under control, which Luis refuses.
- During the mission, Packie drives a red Comet which he likely bought with the money he stole during Three Leaf Clover. This car is not seen in the original game, however.
- Packie drives in a very odd manner; he never used the shortest route to his destination. It's possible that he was simply testing out his brand new car. It's also possible that Rockstar thought this mission would be boring if he drove straight to his destination. Most likely, however, is that Packie drove this route in order to make sure he wasn't being followed.
- In the opening cutscene, Tony fails to commit suicide because he forgets to switch off the safety catch on his gun. Erroneously, the pistol he uses is a Glock, which does not have a safety catch.
- Packie's Comet is unique. The player has to abandon the Maverick and kill Tony, then he has to push the Comet to a parking place with another car and take a drive around the neighbourhood in order to get it.
- If Niko goes Drinking with Packie after the events of Three Leaf Clover, he might comment on a chopper following him. This is likely a foreshadow of this mission.
- Despite the title, this mission can be done at any time during the day.

Fox's Erickson: "Multiculturalism" Key Factor Leading To Boston Bombings
Erickson: Today "Only Islam Seems To Generate People Willing To Kill For Their Religion"
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
Fox News contributor Erick Erickson wrote a FoxNews.com piece on the Boston bombings that attacked Islam as a religion that "cannot ... peacefully coexist with other religions" and suggested "multiculturalism" helped lead to the bombings.
In his piece, Erickson wrote, "In the past decade we have seen that not all Muslims are terrorists, but just about every terrorist has been a Muslim." He also claimed that "contrary to the political correct," "[c]ompared to all other religions in the Twentieth and Twenty-first century, only Islam seems to generate people willing to kill for their religion."
Erickson suggested that societal emphasis on "multiculturalism" led the Boston bombing suspects to turn to radical Islam because immigrants aren't expected to "assimilate into American society." In a tweet linking to his piece, Erickson said:
Erickson has a long history of inflammatory remarks: he has endorsed white-men-only scholarships, defended Rep. Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" comments, and has said "violence" is "extremely common ... within much of Islam."

Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery has entered the Toledo market, having opened a location on May 1 at The Shops at Fallen Timbers in Maumee. The fast-growing Celtic themed sports pub was founded in 2003, franchised in 2006, and now has 93 locations nationwide with another 35 in development.
Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery opened May 1 at The Shops at Fallen Timbers in Maumee. Toledo Free Press Photo by Andrew Weber
It delivers an expansive food menu with American and contemporary pub food, 48 beers on tap and 56 televisions, but it is arguably best known for its Kilt Girls, the waitress staff who wear mini-kilts and tiny plaid bras (even men dress in thematic kilts).
"If I put a movie label on it, it would be PG-13," said Sean Cahill, owner and franchisee. "That's the way I like to characterize the theme and the uniforms."
"Breastaurant" is another tag used by some, a category not preferred by the corporate office.
"We have never referred to ourselves as a 'breastaurant,'" said Mark Hanby, senior vice president of development. "We actually don't like that term for our brand. I want to clarify that's not a term we normally use. We work so hard at our menu, and we hire specialty chefs and celebrity chefs to help us find the most unique product we can find. We do a lot of things in there that provide entertainment to the guests that provide a good time."
After just a few days of operation, Cahill wasn't worried about any potential negativity – he knew the area wanted more eateries.
"Some of the biggest guest comments is that 'We're so glad you're here, we needed another restaurant,'" Cahill said. "There hasn't been enough variety out here."
But did customers want a restaurant that some argue make women look like objects?
"We haven't (received criticism)," Cahill said. "Actually 40 percent of our customer counts are women. We're a lot more sophisticated than the others. That's what drew me to this concept, it's a variety of everything. Good food, good sports – there's really no competitor to it. Really, if you don't have good food, people aren't going to come back.
I think they need to come and experience it. This is a trademarked uniform, the only one in the country. It isn't selling the wrong things. There's a sophisticated feel to it. There's a classy feel to it."
Tilted Kilt acknowledges its signature uniform, but keeps it in perspective.
"We don't shy away from the fact that we have a sexy costume for the servers to wear, but it's all in fun," Hanby said. "There's no lines crossed. We understand it's all about perception. This is not real far reaching from what we see on television today, or on billboards. We see a lot more in pop culture and around us."
Cahill is originally from Columbus and brings 10 years of restaurant experience. Tilted Kilt has locations in metro Detroit, Cleveland and Columbus, but Toledo was always on his radar.
"I've always looked at the Toledo market," Cahill said. "It made a lot of sense for the area. I'm Ohio born, and always thought it would be a good concept for Toledo."
"Every time we opened a store in Ohio, we got more and more appreciation for what we do," Hanby said. "We've been working on this for a long time and it took time to get things right."
Not only has Tilted Kilt hired 168 people, they're all from the area.
"Everyone who has been hired here, were all jobs secured by the area," Cahill said. "We don't bring people in from out of town like other chains do."
Despite his movie label comparison that might otherwise warn parents of material inappropriate for children, Cahill insists it's a place for everyone, including families.
"I can tell you that I have 10 high chairs here and we've had them all on the floor," Cahill said. "It's PG-13, but 80 percent of our restaurant is designed for family seating. The PG-13 label is a good one."
Tilted Kilt is open 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday through Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through Saturday. For more information, call (419) 878-7200 or visit tiltedkilt.com.

Caregiver Relaxation Ideas and In Home Help
Caring for a loved one can be very rewarding. You may learn many interesting facts about their history and your family's past through stories that might not have otherwise been told. You may really enjoy the time spent with an elderly loved one. While being a caregiver for an older loved one can be pleasurable; day to day life can get pretty overwhelming and involves many stressors. One of the biggest adjustments is a change to your family dynamic and household disruption: you may have many of your own life chores to complete on a daily basis and adding the workload of a loved one can get heavy at times.
Stress is usually the top complaint among caregivers. It is important to be aware of stress signals so that we can prevent burnout. If you find that you are unable to fully relax and release your shoulders, or if you feel your brow is constantly furrowed, you may be experiencing stress. You may be experiencing caregiver burnout if you have less energy than you used to, or if you are sick more often than not. If you find it difficult to focus on little tasks and are constantly distracted and irritable you may be feeling pressure. Constant muscle strain and tension can be very hard on the body and it is important to release this tension whenever possible. Long term stress can reduce the strength of the immune system to half of what is normal. The key point is that caregivers need care too. It is important to take time out for yourself to recharge so you can provide the best care for the loved ones in your life.
The following caregiver relaxation ideas will help prevent caregiver burnout and release some stress, even in just a few minutes a day:
Remember to take the time to actually breathe. Some may call this meditation; but you do not have to sit in any special pose to achieve the benefits of a good clean breath or two. Take the time to turn off your phone, remove any distractions and sit in a quiet space for a moment. Focus on the breath going in and out of your body and zone out. It's as refreshing as it seems.
Take a walk. Releasing some tension through moderate exercise can be as good for our bodies as it is for our minds. If it's a nice day, a twenty minute stroll around the neighborhood could be just the right break from a tense situation. Take this time to think about nothing other than a favorite song or a funny memory. Laughter is an excellent antidote to stress. A little goes a really long way. Do whatever you enjoy; whether it's gardening, reading, tinkering, or walking the dog. Just get out of the house. It is not the time to make a mental list of the to-dos in your life. That can be handled when you return from your break.
Whenever possible, ask for help. Don't expect your friends and family to know how difficult it can be to care for an elderly loved one, on top of your own busy household schedule. Be up front and express to your concerns and keep dialogue open.
Caregivers often forget how important it is to take time away from the daily pressures of caring for a loved one. It can be quite beneficial to take an entire day off, or at the very least a few hours from a very busy schedule. Hire in home help or request that a family member or friend to step in for the day so you can carve out me-time. Make sure to take the time for relaxation into your schedule; it will help prevent caregiver burnout and relieve the stress that often plagues caregivers.
If you would like to learn more about caring and consistent in home help for the elderly and the many benefits of professional in home senior care or dementia and Alzheimer's care, call Senior Helpers of Dayton to speak to a senior care specialist today 937-424-2280!

New Federal Prosecutor Starts Job at Standing Rock
PIERRE - Federal authorities say a new prosecutor has begun handling cases on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota and North Dakota.
Erin Shanley was sworn in last week as special assistant U.S. attorney for the tribe. She is headquartered at the tribal court offices in Fort Yates, N.D.
Brendan Johnson, U.S. attorney for South Dakota, says the position was added as part of a historic agreement between Standing Rock and the U.S. Department of Justice.
Johnson says Shanley will handle prosecution of cases involving domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. She will have authority to pursue those cases in federal and tribal courts.
Shanley is an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe who previously served as assistant prosecutor for the Pascua Yaqui Tribe in Arizona.

Video: "Born This Way" (Piano Version) live by Lady Gaga at Roseland
HD Video, photo and words by G.
The legendary Roseland Ballroom in New York is closing (to be turned into condominiums) and to send off the venue in style, Lady Gaga is performing 7 shows there. I caught her 4th show on April 4, 2014 and it was definitely a spectacle, despite being a paltry hour long! My observations from the show will be coming soon with some pretty spectacular pictures, but to tide you over for now, check out a video of "Born This Way" performed solo with just Gaga and her piano (and of course 3,500 screaming little monsters).
The setlist was:
Born This Way (acoustic) / Black Jesus – Amen Fashion / Monster / Bad Romance / Sexxx Dreams / Dope / You and I / Poker Face (acoustic) / Just Dance / Applause.
Gail said,
The Higher the Hair, the Closer to God.

Bureau Of Geology Celebrates Earth Science Week
SOCORRO, N.M. October 9, 2012 – The American Geological Institute (AGI) has sponsored Earth Science Week each year since 1998. This international event is designed to help the public, teachers, and students gain a better understanding and appreciation for the earth sciences, and to encourage proper stewardship of our planet. Celebrated October 14 to 20, the theme for this year is "Discovering Careers in the Earth Sciences."
The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources at New Mexico Tech sponsors this event each year. Toolkits containing a wide variety of materials are available to teachers.
Two-minute radio broadcasts on geologic subjects of interest to New Mexicans will air at 7 p.m. each day October 8 to 12 on KUNM. This year, the five scientists wrote radio scripts that focus on why they chose geological fields for their careers. The radio spots feature Bruce Harrison, Geoff Rawlings, Susie Welch, Maureen Wilks and Lewis Land. Broadcasts for this year and previous years are posted on the bureau's website at: http://geoinfo.nmt.edu/events/esweek/home.html.
The bureau will also participate in Bosque Conservation Day on October 17, which will include a hike for students along the Rio Grande near Socorro. For more information on the bosque event contact Andrea Brophy, Friends of the Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge at: firstname.lastname@example.com. For details regarding the national activities, visit AGI's website at: http://www.earthsciweek.org/index.html.
During Earth Science Week this year the bureau will release the 20th anniversary issue of Lite Geology. First published in 1992, the periodical originated as an informative and entertaining publication focused on earth science topics and current issues in New Mexico, one that would appeal to a broad audience and serve as an outreach tool for educators and the public. Over the years the original quarterly print publication evolved into a semi-annual online publication. Today Lite Geology is available as a free download from the New Mexico Bureau of Geology website, along with the entire collection of back issues. Each issue now includes short articles, classroom activities, puzzles, and links to online resources. Each issue has a theme, and the topic for the current issue is The Evolution of the Rio Grande. Other recent issues address the Rio Grande Rift, Ancient Tsunamis, Magnification, Geothermal Energy, Extraterrestrial Geology, and Understanding Climate. Check out all these issues at: http://geoinfo.nmt.edu/publications/periodicals/litegeology/home.html.
In recognition of Earth Science Week and to offer the public an opportunity to better understand the activities, programs, and resources of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, there will be an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 18, at the bureau's offices on the New Mexico Tech campus. The public is invited to attend. Activities will include special mineral exhibits and informal mineral museum tours, geologic and aquifer mapping displays, mineral education demos, and a classroom earthquake emergency kit display. A 10 percent discount on all Bureau publications will be available to all walk-in customers that day. Come for door prizes, refreshments, and a cake celebrating the 20th anniversary issue of the publication Lite Geology. Additional activities will take place in the Workman Center adjacent to the mineral museum. The bureau's offices are located on Olive Lane near Macey Center and directly across the street from the Petroleum Recovery Research Center. Come join the fun, and learn about New Mexico's natural resources!
For further details and directions to the Open House, contact Susie Welch at: email@example.com or 575-835-5112.
