TAUNTON — Morton Hospital got its start 125 years ago in part thanks to a familiar fundraising method that remains a fixture at community events to this day. A 50-50 raffle.
Back then, an academic surgeon named Silas Presbrey spearheaded a campaign to bring a hospital to Taunton, believing that the city's industrial strength and its population made such a health care facility necessary and possible. Presbrey, other doctors, churches and other members of the community rallied to raise the money, through subscription pledges and fundraising drives.
"It's such a classic Taunton story," said Dr. Charles Thayer, a second-generation surgeon at Morton Hospital who got his start there in 1984. "You can't make this up. They did a series of raffles. The Old Colony Historical Society holds many of the original tickets. (Presbrey) convinced everyone in town to buy 50-50 raffle tickets. He had a very substantial prize. That's the way the charitable organization started. That's where he found the foundational money to actually start it."
Morton Hospital is currently observing its 125th anniversary, after originally opening its doors on Jan. 3, 1889. While looking back with pride at its history serving patients from the Taunton area, Morton Hospital officials also said they are focused on the future and continuing to offer high quality care in the community.
While the Morton Hospital facility has developed dramatically since it first opened in the former mansion of its namesake — Massachusetts Gov. Marcus Morton — so has the medicine, the technology and the methods, hospital officials said.
"I think they were cutting-edge back in the 1800s when they decided to take a house and turn it into a hospital, and that community spirit has continued and will continue," said Kim Bassett, president of Morton Hospital.
The large, white house used as the original hospital building, which had 20 rooms, was donated by Gov. Morton's daughter, Susan T. Kimball of Boston. Morton was a well-known Taunton resident, and he also served in Congress for two terms during the administration of President James Monroe. Kimball made the request that the hospital be named "Morton Hospital." The name was officially adopted in 1914.
The idea for Morton Hospital was also promoted by late-19th century Taunton Mayor Charles Johnson, who called for a hospital to provide a suitable place to care for the "homeless sick" in his 1881 inaugural address.
The original price for patients was $10 per week when the hospital opened, but within a year it was raised to $15 for each week, according to Morton's historical records.
Thayer said that a terrible railroad crash solidified the belief within the public and medical community that a city hospital was needed. The crash took place in September 1898 at the Whittenton Junction, injuring dozens of passengers, many of whom were Tauntonians
"They had several operations going at the same time," Thayer said. "Most people actually lived from that big train accident. Everyone agreed if they didn't have that hospital a lot of those people would have died."
Since then, there has been physical expansion at the hospital that matched the growth in the city, which had a population of 20,000 when the facility first opened (Taunton now has a population of 56,055).
First, in 1900, a new operating building was opened. Then, in 1912, a new pavilion facility opened, with general medical and surgical rooms to hold 75 patients.
By 1940, the hospital constructed a new maternity wing to meet the demands of a burgeoning population. Seventeen years later, a new surgical wing replaced the former pavilion, raising the bed capacity from 96 to 127.
The former "Morton Mansion" building donated by Kimball was replaced in 1967 by a large, central brick building for the medical campus, including a laboratory, an X-ray department, an enlarged maternity section, a new and larger emergency unit, a new physician therapy section, a new medical records unit, new offices, a dietary department and an intensive care unit.
"The hospital has steadily grown continuously," Thayer said. "I can actually remember as a kid going into that mansion to actually receive care as a child. Things have been always growing and moving and we still have great plans for the future. It's a resource. The city of Taunton is large enough, populous enough, and diverse enough so that it needs a resource for health care. We need to continue to build and offer new things."
In 1976, the hospital added a five-bed ambulatory care unit to the emergency room. In 1979, the Thayer Building was constructed (named after Theodore R. Thayer), and a new wing for day surgery opened in 1983.
Recently, the hospital's business management has also changed dramatically. After running for years as a nonprofit entity, Morton Hospital was purchased by Steward Health Care System and changed into a for-profit hospital in 2011.
Since then, the hospital has invested in renovations for the facility, acquired a robotic assisted surgery system and other technological systems.
Last year, however, Steward and Morton Hospital faced resistance from members of the community when it announced the closure of its longstanding pediatric unit, drawing concerns parents, nurses and pediatricians at a public meeting held by the state about the hospital's decision.
The Department of Public Health issued a nonbinding finding that the pediatric unit was "necessary for preserving access and health status in Morton Hospital's service area." Steward and Morton officials said the hospital could not find pediatricians to treat the patients on the unit after its partnership with the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center ended, and also cited low admission levels.
Thayer and Bassett highlighted Morton Hospital's recent 2013 "Top Hospital" award from Leapfrog given to only 90 hospitals in the country (including seven in Massachusetts) for quality and patient safety.
"I would like everybody to know that this hospital has received some of the highest marks nationally for quality that one can receive," Thayer said. "I think that sometimes that the community does not understand that."
Morton, which now has more than 900 employees with more than 350 physicians, is ready for the future, Bassett said.
"We're going to continue to work diligently to make sure our patients receive the highest quality of care and they know that Morton Hospital would be the place to come to," she said. "We have something to be proud of for sure."

Basic Info[edit]
A free image editor and viewer that is shit-tons better than anything Microsoft could dream of creating. It is not compatible with Windows Vista,
but then, neither is ANYTHING else.
Paint.NET is a proprietary freeware roaster graphics editor program for Microsoft Windows. This means that it turns
everything into KFC chicken. Developed on the .NET Framework. Paint.NET was originally created by Rick Astley as a Wassamata U student project,
and has evolved from an enemy of the MS Paint program into something that is actually better, with support for frying, grilling,
toasting, and baking.
Paint.NET is primarily programmed in the brainfuck programming language. Its native image format, .PDN, is a poor quality, space saving
format that is compatible with nothing else. Besides the installer and some pretty pictures, Paint.NET was created with an MIT] License,
meaning the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology stole the project and claimed it as the product of their own genius, licensing it back at the
enormous cost of three postage stamps and a stripper factory.
Stealing the software from the Pastafarians[edit]
It was originally released as open source, but due to copyright violation by the angry pastafarians trying to get their stolen
software back, all files were restolen a Creative Commons license (similar to what Uncyclopedia uses) forbidding changes, and the installer
was stuffed with viruses to infect any computer that tried to reclaim this glorious piece of engineering.
Version 1.0 originally had 36 lines of code and was written in 15 minutes. However, version 3.35 has about 37 lines of brainfuckcode
and was written in 10 years.
Version 3.36 was originally created as open source, but the sources were hacked by MIT, claiming problems with their victims trying to reclaim
their property.
In version 3.5, the license was changed to lie about this, and pastafarians are outlawed from modifying the software even though they think they
can, and MIT sues them for it. As free licenses cannot be revoked, developers can still legally develop forks based on version 3.36 and earlier,
but on the condition that they submit to a webcam spy while those Nerds fap.
Open Source[edit]
unlike most MIT licenses, though, the license allows users without adequate programming knowledge to ruin the software, provided that no useful
improvements are made. Astley later stated that he hopes to release parts of the virus back into the public, to ensure the actual program is never
copied again.
Paint.NET started as a project by a disgruntled former Microsoft employee who was appalled by the low quality of Rich Bill Gates's MS Paint
and refusal to improve during spring 1987 at Wassamata U. Paint.NET was still a buggy work in progress over the summer and into the fall 1987 for
versions 1.1 and 2.0 releases. The damn thing wasn't even usable until version 3.Whatever. Development continues with a patent thief who works
at Microsoft and worked on the pastafarian photoshop program while he was a student at WU. As of May 2006 the program had
been scrapped to preserve Microsoft's monopoly, with a total of 200 downloads. Old man Billy won again for the billionth time.

Other People's Work That Mr. Astley Stole And Used[edit]
Paint.NET supports add-in bloat, which adds nauseating effects and support for even more obsolete file types. They can be programmed in .NET, though
they are mostly written in brainfuck. These are created by coding slaves in the internet dungeons. Though most are simply
stolen from Microsoft, some have been legitimately built in. For instance, a DDS tooth decay plugin, an Ink Scribble, and ruin Portrait effects
were added to Paint.NET in version S.HIT.
Exact Names[edit]
Hundreds of plugins have been stolen, such as 3DStuff, which turns a 2D scribble into a grue. Some plugins decrease practicality, such as Bugs+
and RAMwaste+, both of which are designed to make a crash computer certain instead of just a strong possibility. Examples of file type plugins
include Adobe PDF file type support, and some fancy blinking cursors that are really just spyware.
Support For Thing Bill Gates Doesn't Own[edit]
Paint.NET was made for Windows, and refuses to work with anything you didn't pay the richest man in the world for. Back when it was
open source, there was the possibility of versions for other OSs, but then Mr. Astley got paid off by Microsoft. There was a project that
almost had it ported to Linux, but it got shut down by expensive fucking lawyers. Anybody who still had it on their computers was eaten
by one of the grues they had created.

Redemption: The Myth of Pet Overpopulation and the No Kill Revolution in America
Almaden Books, 2007 - Nature - 229 pages
Redemption is the story of animal sheltering in the United States, a movement that was born of compassion and then lost its way. It is the story of the 'No Kill' movement, which says we can and must stop the killing. But most of all, it is a story about believing in the community and trusting in the power of compassion.

Jan 23 (Reuters) - Figure skater Ashley Wagner, who was gifted a spot on the U.S. Olympic team despite an error-strewn national championships, is changing her troublesome long program in a bid to boost her medal hopes at the Sochi Winter Games.
Wagner, who finished fourth at the U.S. nationals but was controversially handed the final Olympic berth ahead of third place finisher Mirai Nagasu, said it was "insane" to make such a change so close to the Feb. 7-23 Games but that it was a risk she had to take.
"After I found out that I was on the team I sat (coach Rafael Arutunian) down and pleaded with him to let me change my long program," Wagner told reporters on a conference call. "I wasn't able to connect very well with it and I think because I was so uncomfortable with it, it made it difficult to compete.
"So going into the Olympics I want to feel as comfortable and as confident as I possibly can."
As a result, Wagner is ditching her "Romeo and Juliet" long program in favour of last season's "Samson and Delilah."
Sochi represents an unexpected second chance for Wagner, 22, who had looked ready to watch the Olympics from at home.
But while the U.S. squad is selected based largely on the results of the national championships, a nine-member selection panel has the final say on the makeup of the team and the power to consider past results and other factors in making a decision.
In the end, the panel believed Wagner, a two-time U.S. national champion, offered a better chance of landing on the Sochi podium.
"Already in training I feel like I am skating with so much more conviction with this program and I really believe in this program that I think that it will easily be forgotten that I have not been skating this the whole year," said Wagner, who parlayed her "Samson and Delilah" skate into a fifth place finish at last year's world championships. "Nationals was me skating scared. It was me letting that moment overwhelm me.
"I thought more about what I could lose than what I could gain, what I was working for. ... It was the wrong mindset going into such a huge competition."
Wagner said she was stung by the backlash she received for being selected ahead of Nagasu, who finished fourth at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
While disappointed by U.S. figure skating's decision, Nagasu was not bitter and even offered support to Wagner.
"Through this she has been really phenomenal and they way she has handled this I have really admired her for that," said Wagner. "She texted me after I was placed on the team and said, 'You belong on the team. Good luck, love you'". (Reporting by Steve Keating in Toronto; Editing by Frank Pingue)

For Immediate Release
Nominations Open for Fifth Annual 'Izzy Award' for Independent Media
WASHINGTON - Nominations for the Izzy Award for calendar year 2012 are officially open. The annual honor for outstanding achievement in independent media — named after legendary journalist I. F. "Izzy" Stone — is a project of the Park Center for Independent Media (PCIM) at Ithaca College.
"With large corporations dominating the media landscape," said PCIM director Jeff Cohen, "the Izzy is important because it recognizes and honors journalists and media outlets operating outside of the media conglomerates."
The inaugural Izzy Award for 2008 was shared by blogger Glenn Greenwald and "Democracy Now!" host/executive producer Amy Goodman. The 2009 award went to investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, the 2010 award was shared by New York City investigative outlet "City Limits" and author/columnist/"Truthdig" cofounder Robert Scheer, and the 2011 Izzy was shared by journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous and the investigative outlet Center for Media and Democracy for its work on "ALEC Exposed."

Independent News and Views Putting People Over Profit
In 1953, during the height of the anti-communist witch hunts, Stone launched "I. F. Stone's Weekly," through which he challenged McCarthyism, official deception, war and racial bigotry. In 1999, a poll of prominent journalists ranked the publication as number 16 among the "Top 100 Works of Journalism in the United States in the 20th Century." Ithaca College houses a unique collection of mementos from Stone, who died in 1989.
Izzy Award winners are selected by a panel of judges who have expertise in independent media. Joining Cohen on the panel for the fifth year in a row are communications professor and author Robert W. McChesney and Linda Jue, executive director and editor at the G. W. Williams Center for Independent Journalism.
This year's Izzy Award will be given for work published, broadcast or posted in 2012 by an independent media outlet, journalist or producer. The award may relate to a single piece or a body of work. Journalists, academics and the public at large — as well as the judges — may submit nominations by the January 14, 2013, deadline. The winner will be announced early next spring, with an award ceremony to follow.
Nominations should be submitted via a brief e-mail that includes supporting Web links and/or attached materials to Brandy Hawley at firstname.lastname@example.com. Only if e-mail is not possible, nominations may be mailed to Brandy Hawley, Ithaca College, Park Center for Independent Media, 953 Danby Road, Ithaca, NY 14850.

A state legislator has introduced a bill at the outset of the 2013 legislative session that could jeopardize a major cash cow for Winder's city government. Rep. Wendell Willard is the sponsor of House Bill 41 that would prohibit governmental water and sewer service providers from charging higher rates to customers outside their jurisdictions' limits. The provision would apply to all local government providers throughout the state, including Winder. Winder charges its out of city customers about 36 percent more for water and uses the profits from that, around $2 million, to subsidize other city operations within the town.
For the full story, see the Jan. 23 issue of the Barrow Journal.
Bill could cost Winder $2 million in water profits

Initially, it was a little frustrating because I saw this invitation as a "convenient" action from the management that would save them the effort of breaking the status quo, keeping a male production team. This discovery shaped my professional development, because it helped me to develop leadership skills and a competitive character to make sure nothing prevented me from obtaining achievements and pursuing my personal goals.
When I joined Accenture, a global professional services company, I received an offer to start a consulting career, where the model involved investing a great number of hours and required a high dedication. As a consultant, your performance is measured in terms of achievement, rather than how much time you spend making things happen. This approach was one of the primary reasons I decided to take the job, since it would mean a great opportunity to decide how to distribute my time and workload and ensure that I felt satisfied with how I handle both my personal and professional life.
Value of a "safety net"
At the early stages of my career, I had a young son. He was my main motivator to work hard, so I could give him the opportunities in life that I had and even exceed them. To make sure I did not neglect my children, I have to recognize it was a big help having a "safety net" with my husband, my parents' and friends' support, but also it was important to find the same support through my team at the office. At work, it is crucial to feel that you are connected with a group of professionals who understand that your career achievements are just as important as the dedication to your family.
When my oldest son was about to enter junior high school, I thought it was time to stop working and devote my time to raise him in a closer way in this new phase of his life. I was worried to think my son would resent me for not "being there for him" enough because of my job.
When I discussed this idea with my son, he questioned if that was what I really wanted to do, and said "I need a mom who is happy and fulfilled, and I think if you stop working you will feel frustrated." For me that was an eye-opener, because he was right. I was considering a solution to a problem that did not exist yet, and that did not actually solve anything. In that conversation, my teenage son taught me that sometimes we can become our biggest barrier to following our passions.
I recognize that the type of work I do requires its share of sacrifices, but I have also experienced that with proper planning and organization, a number of these sacrifices can be avoided. Whenever I need to recharge and re-energize to continue pursuing new things, I just take a look at pictures of my children, call home or focus on any moment dedicated to my family to remind me why everything is worthwhile.
When women lead, doors open
As the first woman on the leadership team at Accenture in Mexico, I was breaking paradigms, which, fortunately, new generations will face to a lesser extent. As a consultant, I see that inclusion and diversity in talent varies its progress depending on industry or workforce segment. But when women lead and participate actively in the full spectrum of business, we help to change mentalities and open doors for a more inclusive environment of talent at all levels.
Fortunately, leaders are now aware of the importance of having diversity of talent as a key business component. I like to think that my experience and knowledge will allow me to help younger women progress and balance their career, while pursuing personal goals like continue studying, getting married or starting a family.
At this stage of my career, I hope I can serve as an example at work and within the industry as a leader. More importantly, I am an example for my children, of how a woman can achieve her career goals without losing her essence.
There will always be people who will try to discourage you from doing things that seem difficult or impossible, but as long as your goals are clear and you put passion in everything you do, these detriments will disappear and you will, little by little, make your dreams come true. Bet on yourself, always strive and always give your best.

Limited Tickets. Buy in advance! at the Museum of North Idaho or Hayden Cinema The special Hydro History Day fundraiser will feature the Hollywood feature "MADISON" and a special documentary short film "THE ROARING GIANTS." The showings of the two films will take place at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. and will be preceded by an introduction of each film by members of the Hydromaniacs.
The 2005 feature film "MADISON" was directed by William Bindley and tells the story of a hydroplane driver Jim McCormick's personal struggle to win the 1971 Gold Cup for unlimited hydroplanes with the community owned Miss Madison.
For the hydroplane fan, "MADISON" is notable because it contains authentic race footage from the 1971 Madison, Indiana race as well as action scenes of restored vintage hydroplanes currently in the collection of the Hydroplane and Raceboat Museum of Kent, Washington. "MADISON" is thought to be the only feature film ever made that is centered on professional boat racing.
The showing of "THE ROARING GIANTS" will be of particular interest to the residents of Coeur d'Alene, as it was filmed before and during the 1962 Diamond Cup unlimited hydroplane race on Lake Coeur d'Alene. The film short was independently produced and then stored away without explanation, never been shown to the public. Included in the footage are scenes of the big unlimited boats testing and racing on the lake as well as special concert footage from a performance by popular singer Jimmy Rodgers at North Idaho (Junior) College the weekend of the race.
The Museum of North Idaho will have copies of "THE ROARING GIANTS" for sale at the event, as well as a selection of the books including "Hydromania: A History of the Diamond Cup" written by local author Stephen Shepperd.
The newly reconstituted Coeur d'Alene Hydromaniacs hope to revive the fun-loving group that supported the Diamond Cup hydroplane races in the 1950s and 1960s. The organization also was involved in the Coeur d'Alene community, supporting local charities and civic events, activities that the new group hopes to renew as well.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Museum of North Idaho, Hayden Discount Cinemas, Nickel's Worth publishing office, Angel Gallery at 5th and Sherman, and Comfort Inn and Suites on Appleway.

July 23 at 7:30 PM
The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. In the end the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future—but the telling is so true and touching and consistently hilarious that it will linger in the mind long after the curtain has descended.

Tennessee TV Weatherman Shot by Crossbow
(JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.) -- A Tennessee man is in court Tuesday facing charges that he shot his former roommate, a TV weatherman, with a crossbow during a home invasion.
Gerald Taylor, 53, is accused of breaking into the home he once shared with Rob Williams early Monday morning and shooting him with a crossbow. Taylor allegedly also fired a pistol at Williams but missed, according to Johnson City police.
Taylor fled the scene on foot and was apprehended on a boat dock below the home, police said.
"Mr. Taylor was found to have a pistol in his hand when approached by officers and after a brief stand-off, and being tased by officers, he was taken into custody without further incident," police said in a statement.
Williams, who works as a meteorologist at local CBS affiliate WJHL, had served Taylor with an order of protection on May 29, according to Johnson City Police, forcing the suspect to vacate the home.
It was unknown what caused the falling out between the two men.
The meteorologist said he is recovering and thanked well-wishers for their concern.
"I am working with police as they continue their investigation into this matter. I'm looking forward to returning on air very soon," he said in a statement issued to his station WJHL.
Taylor faces charges of attempted first degree murder, aggravated burglary and violation of an order of protection.

Attention sports fans, the NCAA March Madness is upon us! It's the most exciting time of year for college hoops, there's betting and basketball rivalries, and debates over who will be the NBA and WNBA stars of tomorrow. This year will be the first time all 67 games in this year's NCAA tournament will be televised nationally so that everyone can watch every game! Even the President is getting in on the action, you can check out Obama's very own bracket predictions on his Obama Bracket website! So how do you get in on the fun you ask?
Well obviously first you want to take on Obama to see if your bracket picks make it farther than his, but then my next suggestion is to gather your friends and head to some sports bars! Whether you're a college basketball fanatic or neophyte, watching these exciting games with a group is always better. Especially if you can get some deals on wings or nachos and some drink specials at the same time! But sometimes even choosing a place to watch the games be a challenge, especially in a big city where sports bars can be found on every block!
New York Magazine recognizes this and has created a bracket for the top 32 NYC sports bars! If you're not in the New York area use the RestaurantRow.com's mobil app to find a sports bar near you and don't forget to submit a review. And don't be afraid to hit up the chain restaurants either. Applebees's and Buffalo Wild Wings have ample TV's and even games and contests for diners to participate in!

Subscribe To Green-Band Klown Trailer Boasts Critical Acclaim And Lots Of Raunch Updates
I've already subscribed
If you love your comedies raunchy and wild, then mark your calendars for Klown's Stateside debut. The Danish tale of debauchery centers on two friends, Frank (Frank Hvam) and Casper (Casper Christensen), who are preparing to cast off on their much-anticipated "The Tour de Pussy" canoe trip to a notorious brothel, when Frank discovers his girlfriend is pregnant. Convinced Frank is far too immature to be a proper father, she confesses she's considering an abortion. And so Frank decides to prove his papa potential by taking her nephew along on his trip, though he assures Casper this will not cut down on the sex, drugs and drinking. And it doesn't.
Last month Drafthouse Films unveiled a fittingly crude red-band trailer, but as Klown approaches its cross-platform release, a green-band trailer has been created that teases some of the film's crass humor, but also proclaims the raucous acclaim critics are heaping on this fearless feature. You can check out this trailer below—or in hi-res at Apple—but be forewarned, it contains some major punch line spoilers.
Audiences eager for The Hangover 3--which is shoots this summer—will likely revel in Klown's jaw-droppingly obscene humor. So it's fitting that The Hangover's helmer Todd Phillips has already signed on to produce the American remake, Clown, which will be penned by and headline R-rated comedy star Danny McBride. Having seen the film, I can see how Phillips and McBride are a great fit for the material, but wonder if they'll shy away from some of the movie's more taboo moments, in fear that they might alienate American moviegoers who may not be ready for this new level of debauchery-drenched comedy.
Is it too crude for you? Find out July 27th, when Klown will hit theaters, and be made available on VOD and digital platforms.

The 4TH Annual Goodguys Nashville Nats
Known mostly for its deep roots in the country music industry, Nashville is a great place to visit, especially if you plan the trip around the Goodguys Nashville Nationals. Usually held the last weekend of June, the weather is always hot, but this year, the mixture of high temperatures and high humidity gave everyone an excuse to find a shade tree. To aid in the comfort of its participants and crew, Goodguys has changed the date of the Nashville Nationals, moving it to the month of May in hopes of pleasant springtime temperatures.
Despite the heat wave, nearly 2,000 hot rods rolled into the LP Field parking lot and enjoyed all that the show had to offer. The Street Challenge Autocross was a huge attraction all weekend long, even for the truck guys, as several classic pickups participated in the tricky course. Add to that, a packed swap meet, tons of vendors, and all sorts of good food, and you have one fun event. And if you didn't get your fill at the show during the day, a trip to the host hotel would certainly provide a good time, thanks to a big cruise-in.
The 4th Annual Nashville Nationals proved to be another great event, and the date change will only help it grow. For now, take a look at some of our favorite classic trucks in attendance, including the Finest Five award winners; go to www.good-guys.com for next year's dates, so you can check it out for yourself.

So there is very little to say about the next two lessons coming your way. They are going to be on characters from a new Nickelodeon show that is coming out soon called 'Blake and the Aliens'. The same people that made Spongebob Square pants and The Simpsons are responsible for the creation of this soon to be new cartoon series. It's about a boy that is being undermined by three evil aliens from the future. Their whole main goal is to fudge around with Blake's self-esteem to try and prevent Blake from being a superhero in the future called 'Captain Blake'. He is thirteen which means it won't take a lot to mess with his mind. Drawing Blake and the Aliens will be fun, and exciting since it's from the same folks that brought us Phineas and Ferb as well. Adios folks and like always enjoy.

This timeline will be updated with the latest nuclear developments in Japan.
Week 5, April 9 - April 11
April 11: It has been exactly one month since a 9.0 earthquake struck the northeast coast of Japan and triggered a 30-ft. tsunami that damaged a nuclear power plant. The country observed a moment of silence for the tens of thousands missing or dead in its worst crisis since World War II. Then, shortly after Japan widened the evacuation area around the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, another substantial aftershock shook Japan, about 100 miles north of Tokyo. Japan's meteorological agency measured the temblor at 7.0, but a US agency said the quake was about magnitude 6.6. The latest quake halted cooling systems at the plant for about an hour as authorities continued to pump low-level contaminated water into the sea.
Meanwhile, safes that people used at home to store cash and valuables are washing up along the tsunami-battered coast, and police are trying to find their owners. About $350 billion worth of Japanese currency doesn't circulate, according to one estimate.
April 10: Some 2,000 people marched in Tokyo Sunday calling for Japan's nuclear power stations to be shut down. Tepco, the Tokyo Electric Power Company that operates the Fukushima facility, reported that a worker who was placing hoses to collect contaminated water from reactor No. 2 was taken to the hospital but that no radioactive substances were found on his body. He was treated for exhaustion.
April 9: Two of the world's largest concrete pumps – one from Los Angeles, and one from Atlanta – left the US for Japan to help pump water onto the damaged reactors from a safe distance. Tepco's president also apologized to the Japanese public for the nuclear crisis. A spokesman also said the company hoped to stop pumping radioactive water into the ocean by Sunday.
Week 4 , April 4 - April 8
April 8: China's Foreign Ministry said it is concerned about and will monitor Japan's actions to regain control of Fukushima, saying Tokyo must provide swift and accurate information to its neighbor.
April 7: A massive 7.1 aftershock struck northern Japan's Miyagi Prefecture. Workers temporarily evacuated Fukushima as tsunami advisories were issued and then lifted. Two out of three external power lines to the Onagawa nuclear power plant, 75 miles northeast of Fukushima and near the epicenter of Thursday's temblor, have been damaged, causing power loss. South Korea criticized the Japanese government for failing to notify its neighbor that it would pump radioactive water into the sea.
April 6: Emergency workers have managed to stop the radioactive water, measured at 7.5 million times the legal limit, from leaking out of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant's reactor No. 2 and into the ocean, say officials. Plant operator Tepco is now concerned about a build-up of hydrogen inside reactor No. 1, which may mean the reactor's core is damaged. As a precautionary measure, officials say workers are preparing to inject nitrogen into the containment vessel to try to bring the reactor under control. Meanwhile, Japan's official spokesperson, Yukio Edano apologized to neighboring countries for not notifying them before they started pumping low-level radioactive water into the ocean this past weekend.
April 5: Tepco says it is continuing to pump millions of gallons of contaminated water, overflow from efforts to cool the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, into the sea. The move is to help cooling efforts as workers attempt to slow a major leak of highly radioactive water from the plant. Tepco says it has succeeded in slowing leaking water from the No. 2 reactor. However, the levels of radioactive contamination of caesium in fish are now exceeding health guidelines, increasing environmental and food safety concerns. Meanwhile, Japanese police have charged two people with selling a fake radiation protectant drug, according to investigators.
April 4: Tepco said some 11,500 tons of contaminated water would be released today in order to make room for more radioactive water storage. Authorities say they have still not found the source of a leak they believe is responsible for highly contaminated water levels near Fukushima.
Some key Facts as of Thursday, April 7:
- Death toll: 13,013
- Unaccounted for: at least 14,600
- Living in shelters: around 151,000 people
- Estimated damage cost: $309 billion

It isn't so uncommon for disputes between content and distribution giants to leave consumers without channels. But DirecTV's battle with Tribune isn't just another conflict over retransmission fees. It's turned into an indictment of the Tribune company's management in bankruptcy, and what DirecTV calls "another case of runaway Wall Street Greed," in a press release issued when DirecTV filed a complaint with the FCC Monday afternoon.
The largest satellite TV company (DTV) not only accuses Tribune of negotiating in bad faith, it suggests that broadcast licenses have been "prematurely, and inappropriately, transferred to bankruptcy creditors." DirecTV is asking the FCC for "immediate intervention and expedited ruling against Tribune."
The negotiation started off fairly straightforward. Tribune wants DirecTV to pay to carry its 23 local broadcast channels. The day the two companies' contract was set to expire, DirecTV said it and Tribune had come to terms on a deal to broadcast the stations. An hour later, Tribune said it had not reached an agreement: the 23 local stations and cable network WGN America were blacked out at midnight on April 1.
This is an increasingly big deal—more than 5 million DirecTV customers don't have access to at least one channel. Tribune's stations include a number of CW affiliates, like KTLA in Los Angeles. In Seattle and other places where Tribune owns Fox affiliates, DirecTV subscribers will miss out on "New Girl" Tuesday and American Idol Wednesday. With Major League Baseball's season starting this week, Cubs and White Sox fans will lose access to the games via WGN America, and Philadelphia DirecTV subscribers won't be able to watch the Phillies.
What exactly happened? DirecTV says in its complaint that the day after the two companies reached an "agreement in principle," Tribune "reneged on that agreement."
The problem, DirecTV argues, is that it's unclear who is in charge. DirecTV writes in the complaint: "Tribune later confirmed that its management had been overruled by the hedge fund and investment bank creditors." Here's where the allegation of "runaway greed" comes into play. DirecTV argues that Oaktree Partners, Angelo Gordon, JPMorgan Chase , Bank of America and Citibank "forced Tribune's senior management to renege… [in] a brazen attempt to extract yet another bailout on the backs of innocent viewers."
An interesting twist — Tribune says on its website, www.telldirectv.com, "We'll also help you find another way to keep watching your favorite shows." That's right — the content owner is guiding viewers to find ways to go without their cable provider — like using an over-the-air antenna, or live streaming newscasts. Yes, the media company is convincing consumers they can cut the cord. Tribune uses the website to assert it "has NOT reached an agreement or come to terms with DirecTV on any aspect of its contract. Any statement by DirecTV to the contrary is inaccurate and misleading." But the cord-cutting advice might be the most powerful element of this website.
Here's a link to the full complaint.
Tribune responded with this lengthy statement:
For months, Tribune and DirecTV have been negotiating a complex, multi-year contract for the carriage of our local television stations and WGN America. The contract is complex, in part, because it covers 23 local television stations with varying programming in 19 different markets, large and small, as well as our national cable network, WGN America. Over the course of any negotiation, parties may agree in principle on some terms and disagree on others, but it takes closure on all terms by both parties to reach an agreement. We never reached agreement with DirecTV on all the terms of the contract—not in principle, not by handshake and not on paper. We didn't have an agreement on Thursday, March 29, and we do not have an agreement now.
Our most recent filing with the FCC regarding Tribune's anticipated emergence from bankruptcy was merely to provide the commission with data it would need to evaluate following confirmation of a restructuring plan. Our hope was to shorten the time between confirmation of our plan and emergence from Chapter 11. Any intimation that our broadcast licenses have been prematurely transferred is simply false and misleading.
Claims of "bad faith" and "outrageous conduct" are nothing more than negotiating tactics in an attempt to unfairly disadvantage Tribune from receiving fair market compensation from DirecTV for carriage of Tribune's local television stations and WGN America. Tribune seeks an agreement with DirecTV that is similar to those DirecTV already has in place with hundreds of other content providers.
Finally, Tribune management, with the full support of its Board of Directors, remains firmly committed to an expeditious negotiation with DirecTV for the carriage of our local stations and WGN America in order to continue our long-standing history of public service.

Before you buy a used Mazda RX-8, it's best to research all the trims and features available. The car was introduced to the US market in 2004. A sports car powered by a rotary engine, the Mazda RX-8 is a vehicle with four doors, a rear wheel drive and a front mid engine. The vehicles were sold as a 197 hp 1.3Liter 4 speed automatic transmission model and a 238 hp 6 speed manual transmission model. For a stiffer suspension, an 18 inch wheel option was offered in the Sports Package trim instead of the standard 16 inch wheel. The manual transmission RX-8 models also had 18 inch wheels for limited-slip differential and stiffer suspension. The other options offered were a navigation system, anti-skid control and leather upholstery. The 2004 models had two trims, namely the Mazda RX-8 4dr Coupe Auto that has a four speed automatic transmission and the Mazda RX-8 4dr Coupe which comes with a 6 speed manual transmission. Four trims were made available for the 2005 models. These include the 4dr Coupe Auto, 4dr Coupe 6-Spd Manual, 4dr Coupe Shinka Special Edition Auto and the 4dr Coupe Shinka Special Edition Man.

Christoffel Fierens (d. 1572)
Christoffel Fierens was an Anabaptist martyr who was executed 5 December 1572 at Meenen (Menin) in Flanders with Willem de Rijke (le Riche) by burning at the stake. Rembry-Barth, Historie de Menin, mentions only the latter; but on the basis of the details offered by van Braght (Martyrs' Mirror) his account must be considered the correct one. The mayor Cornelis of Eeckhoute attempted to have Willem, who was evidently a respected citizen (perhaps from the family of the preacher Christiaen Rijcken), released on the ground that he was ignorant. The inquisitor therefore tested Willem's understanding of purgatory and discovered the contrary. Later, in consequence of the war, the mayor fled to Bruges and lost his property. At the execution a brother called out to Willem, "Dear brother, fight bravely for the truth." Christoffel answered, "O people, consider your salvation; for this is the way to life. . . . Sell your clothing and buy Testaments and note the words of God therein: for therein you will find life, and do not fear them who slay the body, but fear him who has the power to cast body and soul into hell." The hangman cut off this effective testimony by means of gags.
