"The ITF decision has left us with no other option. We cannot send the team. It is extremely disappointing." – Geoff Pollard, Tennis Australia president, announcing Australia's Davis Cup will not go to India for its scheduled Davis Cup match.
"I think it's irresponsible for the ITF to expect us as players to go there and put ourselves on the line in a very, very difficult predicament with the way their social system's running." – Todd Woodbridge, who played in an Australian-record 32 ties before he retired.
"It is just irresponsible. Surely some thought must be given to the players' safety. "John Fitzgerald, Australia's Davis Cup captain.
"By virtue of its decision not to send a team to compete against India, Australia has forfeited the tie. India is declared the winner and will advance to the Davis Cup World Group Playoffs, scheduled for 18-20 September." – The International Tennis Federation (ITF), in a statement.
"I never imagined anything like this. To win again here in Barcelona, in my home club and at such an important tournament is incredible." – Rafael Nadal, following his fifth straight Barcelona title.
"Rafa is playing even more aggressively this year. He has a great rhythm right from the start and it's very difficult to beat him." – David Ferrer, after losing to Nadal in the Barcelona Open final.
"Once you've won a big tournament, you are more relaxed in tight situations." – Sabine Lisicki, who won The Family Circle Cup tournament, explaining her Fed Cup victory over China's Zheng Jie.
"You've got to expect things to be tough. I didn't go into either of these matches thinking it was going to be easy." – Samantha Stosur, who won both of her singles matches as Australia beat Switzerland in their Fed Cup World Group II playoff.
"It's amazing to be back in the final. It's a dream and I am very happy to be part of the dream." – Francesca Schiavone, who won both of her singles matches as Italy beat Russia in the Fed Cup semifinals.
"It's unimaginable. What they've done is extraordinary. These girls will go down in the history of Italian tennis." – Corrado Barazzutti, Italy's Fed Cup captain.
"It's special because I won. It's not fun to be in final number 100 and lose because it's a special day. Winning a title is always a nice thing." – Daniel Nestor, a winner in his 100th career doubles final.
"It was a battle. Once I turned it on, got some confidence and started playing aggressively, things went in my favor." – Jim Courier, after beating Jimmy Arias to win a senior event in Grand Cayman.
"We don't want to see night time tennis and we hope and believe that that the matches would finish in day time hours. But if they don't finish, we will close (the roof) and finish them." – Ian Ritchie, All England Club chief executive, refusing to rule out night-time play at Wimbledon.
"It's always nice to win after being out for so long, but I'm hardly at a level where I can be happy. Tennis is bad business for me, but being away from it is even worse." – Gaston Gaudio, a former French Open champion who won his first ATP level match in two years.
India was declared the winner of next month's Davis Cup tie when Tennis Australia refused to play in Chennai, India. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) said any decision to sanction Australia will be made in due course. Under Davis Cup rules, Australia could be banned from the competition for 12 months and face a substantial fine. Claiming there was an "unacceptable level of risk" in going to Chennai, Tennis Australia appealed for a change of venue. But the ITF said Chennai was approved by the Davis Cup Committee following a positive report from security consultants. Australia then said it would not send a team, thus forfeiting the match. "The ITF regrets and respectfully disagrees with the decision of Tennis Australia to default its upcoming Davis Cup tie against India," the ITF said in a statement on the Davis Cup website. In 1987, India forfeited the Davis Cup final when it refused to travel to Sweden because of that country's policy of allowing South Africans to play tennis in Sweden. Concerns about security on the Indian subcontinent increased after the Sri Lanka cricket team was attacked in Lahore, Pakistan, last month. Last November, terror attacks in Mumbai, India, blamed on Islamic terrorists, killed 166 and injured 304 and forced an international cricket tournament to be moved to South Africa.
Now that Wimbledon's Centre Court has lights, can night matches be far behind. The new retractable roof will be in operation when the tournament is played this summer, guaranteeing play on the show court regardless of the weather. Although the roof is translucent, allowing sufficient light for play in most conditions, 120 lights have been installed so play can continue when it is dark outside. All England Club chief executive Ian Ritchie says there are no planned night sessions at Wimbledon, like at the US Open and Australian Open, but he refused to rule out all night play. "Wimbledon is a daytime, outdoor event and preference is always to play outdoors, and if we can we will prefer to keep the roof open as much as possible," Ritchie said. "But we need to provide consistent playing conditions for the players, which is why if a match starts with it shut it will finish with it shut."
Wimbledon has increased the prize money for this year's tournament, but don't tell the players that. Each of the men's and women's champions will receive 13.3 percent more this year than last. But that's in British pounds. The pound's weak exchange rate translates to an actual reduction in prize money if it's counted in US dollars. All England Club chairman Tim Phillips said the tournament was doing what it could to help offset the weakened exchange rates. "Most of the players here don't bank in sterling," Phillips said. "We have to be mindful of the fact that a year ago it was $2 to the pound." The pound has dropped by more than 25 percent against the dollar since last year's prize money was announced, and has slumped by about 11 percent against the euro.
When Gaston Gaudio beat Diego Junqueira 6-4 3-6 6-4 in the first round at the Barcelona Open, it was his first time he had won a match in nearly two years. The former French Open champion won the Barcelona Open seven years ago. He had to rally from a break down in the final set against Junqueira for his first victory at the ATP level since the 2007 French Open – 23 months ago.
Alexa Glatch couldn't have done any better in her dreams. Playing in her first Fed Cup, the 19-year-old Glatch won both of her singles matches as the seemingly overmatched United States surprised the Czech Republic and gained a spot in the final against Italy. "This has been unbelievable," Glatch said after she beat Petra Kvitova 6-2 6-1 to level the best-of-five-match competition at 2-2. Liezel Huber then teamed with Bethanie Mattek-Sands to down Iveta Benesova and Kveta Peschke 2-6 7-6 (2) 6-1 and send the Americans into the final. Glatch, ranked 114th in the world, said her two Fed Cup wins were "definitely the most important" of her career. "I played well overall," she said. "I really don't know how I'm doing it." The Americans played without the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus.
David Nalbandian may need surgery on his right hip. The Argentine star pulled out of the Barcelona Open, complaining of hip pain and allowing eventual winner Rafael Nadal to advance into the semifinals on a walkover. Nalbandian's doctor in Europe, Angel Ruiz-Cotorro, told an Argentine newspaper that the tennis star would receive three or four days of treatment, including physical therapy and medication, before a decision on whether he will undergo surgery is made.
Russia has five of the top 10 players in the world, but only two showed up to play Fed Cup against Italy. And that wasn't enough. The Italians shocked Russia 4-1 as Francesca Schiavone won both her singles matches. That puts Italy in the Fed Cup final for the third time in four years. The Russians won four of the last five Fed Cup titles. Svetlana Kuznetsova, ranked ninth in the world, gave Russia it's only point, winning her singles match against Flavia Pennetta. Nadia Petrova, ranked 10th in the world, played only doubles, while missing from the competition were top-ranked Dinara Safina, third-ranked Elena Dementieva and sixth-ranked Vera Zvonareva. The latter missed the tie because of an ankle ligament injury. Instead, 22-ranked Anna Chakvetadze and 28-ranked Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova played for Russia – and lost.
Andy Roddick will be going for his fifth Queen's Club crown when the Wimbledon warm-up tournament is held in London in June. The American won the grass-court title from 2003-05 and again in 2007. Among others in this year's field are defending champion Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray.
Irving Glick, the US Open tournament doctor for more than 25 years, is dead at the age of 92. Glick ran the medical department at the US Open until 1991 and served as the International Tennis Federation's medical representative to the Olympic Games in South Korea in 1988 and Spain in 1992. Glick chaired the US Tennis Association Sports Medicine Advisory Committee in 1989 and helped develop the tennis anti-doping program years before establishing the current World Anti-Doping Agency, which oversees doping control in all Olympic sports. He also was a founding member of the ITF Wheelchair Tennis Medical Committee, which established medical and eligibility guidelines for international wheelchair tennis.
Davis Cup teams from Pacific Oceania and Sri Lanka will compete in Asia/Oceania Zone Group II play next year following round-robin matches in Aleppo, Syria, last week. Relegated from Group III to Group IV for next year were Singapore and Tajikistan. In Group IV play, which was held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Bangladesh won promotion to Group III for next year.
IBM has extended its sponsorship of Wimbledon for another five years. The All England Club announced the extension and said it also has signed a new broadcast deal with Star Sports Asia. "In this climate it's a vote of confidence in Wimbledon," All England Club chief executive Ian Ritchie said. IBM advises on and helps implement new technologies at the lone grass-court Grand Slam tournament.

Courier and Cash Advance to Semifinals in Grand Cayman
GRAND CAYMAN, April 24, 2009 – Jim Courier opened up the defense of his Outback Champions Series title in the Cayman Islands Friday, defeating Mikael Pernfors of Sweden 6-3, 6-4 to advance into the semifinals of the $150,000 The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Legends Championships. Also advancing with a quarterfinal win Friday in the eight-player event was Pat Cash of Australia, who defeated Karel Novacek of the Czech Republic 6-2, 6-4. The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Legends Championships is the fourth of eight events on the 2009 Outback Champions Series, the global tennis circuit for champion tennis players age 30 and over.
Courier will face Mark Philippoussis of Australia in Saturday evening's semifinal, while Cash will take on Jimmy Arias in the first semifinal in the afternoon session. Courier is looking to win for the second time in the second-year Outback Champions Series event and, like in 2008, use the clay-court event to kick start his Outback Champion Series season.
"I am here defending my honor and my title as last year's champion but the task ahead will be a challenge, as anything worth doing tends to be," wrote Courier in his blog on the Outback Champions Series website – linked here – http://m1e.net/c?97079246-HVhYO/dMh9KPk%404189130-9tRhGLCNPAfF%2e "(Winning in Grand Cayman in 2008) was the lift off for my season where I won here and then three more tournaments after a slow start. I am looking for the same thing here this year as I have had a bumpy start to my 2009 OCS campaign and am in need of a jump start."
Courier finished the 2006 and 2008 Outback Champions Series campaigns as the No. 1 ranked player in the year-end standings, but has struggled so far in 2009. In the opening event in Boston in February, Courier injured his back in round-robin play against John McEnroe and finished in fourth place. In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Courier continued to struggle with his form and health and lost to McEnroe in the championship match. In the third event of the year last month in Los Cabos, Mexico, Courier beat Mats Wilander in the third-place play-off after losing to Patrick Rafter in the semifinals. "Since Cabo I have been able to train hard on/off court once again and should be ready to make a serious run this week for the title" wrote Courier on his blog. "We'll see if that's enough. With the tough field, I'll have to earn it if I'm going to hold the trophy again."
Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon champion, was spurred on to his win over Novacek by a group of vocal Australian fans – many donning Cash's trademark checkerboard headbands. Cash was a late entry into the field after 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic was forced to withdraw when he was not sufficiently recovered from recent knee surgery to compete.
"I am just happy to be here," said Cash of his late entry into the tournament. "A few days ago, I was sitting in cold London when I got the call. It's a great opportunity to play in this tournament and to play here in Grand Cayman. It's a wonderful event."
The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Legends Championships features a field of eight champion players competing in a single knock-out format event, vying for $150,000 in prize money and ranking points that determine the year-end No. 1 on the Outback Champions Series. Ticket, travel and tournament information can be found by visiting www.ChampionsSeriesTennis.com. In 2008, Courier won the inaugural event defeating Wayne Ferreira 7-6 (3), 7-6 (1) in the championship match.
The schedule of play for the remainder of the event is as follows;
Saturday, April 25
Starting 1 pm
Doubles featuring all four quarterfinalists
Pat Cash vs. Jimmy Arias
Starting at 6 pm
Doubles featuring all four quarterfinalists
Jim Courier vs. Mark Philippoussis
Sunday, April 26
Starting at 1 pm
Third Place Match
Championship Match
Pete Sampras won the opening event on the 2009 Outback Champions Series, defeating McEnroe in the final of the Champions Cup Boston in February. McEnroe won the second event of the year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, defeating Courier in the final. Sampras won his second title of the year at the Del Mar Development Champions Cup in Los Cabos, Mexico, defeating Rafter in the final. Following Grand Cayman, Outback Champions Series events will be played in Newport, R.I. (August 20-23), Charlotte (Sept. 24-27), Surprise, Ariz. (Oct. 8-11) and Dubai, U.A.E. (Nov. 18-21).
Founded in 2005, the Outback Champions Series features some of the biggest names in tennis over the last 25 years, including Andre Agassi, Sampras, McEnroe, Courier and others. To be eligible to compete on the Outback Champions Series, players must have reached at least a major singles final, been ranked in the top five in the world or played singles on a championship Davis Cup team. The Outback Champions Series features eight events on its 2009 schedule with each event featuring $150,000 in prize money as well as Champions Series ranking points that will determine the year-end No. 1.

A temporary stay of execution was granted for a man who had been scheduled to die by lethal injection at the Florida State Prison on Monday.
Marshall Lee Gore, 49, who was convicted of killing two women 25 years ago, had been scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. for the 1988 slaying of one of his victims, 30-year-old exotic dancer Robyn Novick.
But the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals approved a motion filed by Gore's attorney less than two hours before the procedure was expected to begin.
A hearing will be held on Thursday.
In his emergency motion, attorney Todd Scher argued Gore's execution would violate the Eighth Amendment, which forbids the state from carrying out a death sentence against a prisoner who is insane.
"Barring relief from this court, Marshall Gore will suffer irreparable harm – he will die," Scher wrote. "And because he is insane, that execution will be the same sort of 'miserable spectacle' that prompted the Supreme Court to categorically prohibit executions of the insane."
Gore, the former owner of a South Florida escort service, was convicted for the killing of Novick – whose naked body was found in a rural part of Miami-Dade County – and he was also sentenced to die for the 1988 slaying of Susan Roark, whose body was found a few months later in Columbia County in northern Florida.
Another exotic dancer testified that she was beaten with a rock, choked, raped and stabbed and left for dead. She was attacked two days after Novick disappeared.
The Catholic Church opposes Gore's execution. About 40 people attended a prayer vigil that the Archdiocese of Miami held for Gore, his victims Novick and Roark and their families on Monday. The vigil was held after a regularly scheduled midday Mass at St. Martha Church on Biscayne Boulevard.
"How do you teach someone that killing is wrong by doing the very act that we are condemning?" said Joan Crown, director of the Catholic organization Respect Life.
Florida's bishops petitioned Gov. Rick Scott to commute the death penalty for Gore and two others on death row.
"The greatest sadness is for we as a people. We are trying to teach others that you do not kill, yet we are killing," Crown said.
Gore's attorneys have argued before that he is mentally ill. One previous lawyer claimed Gore was "mentally deranged" and not responsible for his actions. But several judges concluded he was using a claim of mental illness to manipulate the judicial process.
When asked by a judge in the Novick case if he felt competent to proceed he replied, "I'm absolutely competent. I'm absolutely lucid." He had frequent verbal outbursts during the trial, laughed out loud and even howled.
A panel of doctors appointed by Gov. Rick Scott concluded in May that Gore was mentally competent to be executed.
In the motion requesting a stay of execution, Scher cites standards from two Supreme Court decisions, one of which states the prisoner must have a "rational understanding" of the state's justification for the execution.
Scher points out that Gore has previously indicated he believes he is being executed for "death and organ/harvesting/to be a human sacrifice of both." He has also contended that the date of his scheduled execution, June 24, 2013, adds up to 666 and that he is a target of "Satan Worshippers who have threatened that date by mail for years."
Scott's panel of mental health experts interviewed Gore and reviewed 23 years of medical, mental health and corrections records. They concluded his delusions were a "fabrication designed to mislead the panel to avoid responsibility for his past actions."
Gore's attorney contends their review wasn't thorough enough and didn't disclose all relevant information to the governor.
The federal appeals court ruling that granted the stay of execution said both sides would be given 30 minutes to make their arguments by conference call with speakers set up in a courtroom in Atlanta on Thursday. The decision also states the judges will work to ensure the matter is resolved before the warrant for Gore's execution expires.
Two executions have been held in Florida in the past month.
On June 12, the state executed William Van Poyck for the 1987 murder of a prison guard during a botched attempt to free another inmate.
On May 29, Elmer Carroll was executed for the 1990 rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl.

If only "What to Expect When You're Expecting" had focused on the dads' group, and didn't just drop in on them a handful of times, we might have been onto something here.
Chris Rock, Thomas Lennon and Rob Huebel are among the dudes who meet regularly to push their kids in tricked-out strollers, tote them in high-end carriers and talk guy stuff in a confidential setting away from the wives. Their no-nonsense banter, and their unabashed worship of the buff, shirtless jogger who frequents their Atlanta park, liven up what is a rather predictable and cliched depiction of pregnancy. (And yes, we are clearly in Atlanta, as evidenced by the shameless proliferation of product placement for Delta Airlines, which is based there.)
A good-looking cast of popular actors can only do so much with material that's superficial and sitcommy. Director Kirk Jones' film is "inspired by" the Heidi Murkoff advice book of the same name, one that every single pregnant woman on the planet surely has read since its initial publication in 1985. But similar to 2009's "He's Just Not That Into You," the script from Shauna Cross and Heather Hach merely uses a familiar non-fiction title as a leaping-off point to explore various intertwined relationships, ostensibly for hilarious comic effect.
There are some laughs here and there and a few recognizable moments of honesty. Elizabeth Banks' character begins to touch on something relatable; an author and owner of a breastfeeding boutique, she finds her militant stances hard to maintain once she becomes pregnant herself. As she's about to give a big speech, she realizes all the platitudes written on her note cards are glossy and false; instead, she opens her mouth and dares to share her third-trimester misery with a huge, gawking crowd. Then again, this is one of those embarrassing moments of vulnerability that always seem to take place in front of a huge, gawking crowd in romantic comedies.
More often, we get the kind of contrived, shrieky wackiness that breaks out when all the pregnant women whose stories we've been following just happen to give birth at the same hospital on the same night. Being crowd-pleasing was obviously more important that being truthful.
We begin with Cameron Diaz as Jules, a fitness expert and the host of a "Biggest Loser"-style reality show. She didn't expect to be expecting with Evan (Matthew Morrison), her partner on a "Dancing With the Stars"-style reality show, but now these two must find a way to juggle a baby along with their new relationship and high-profile careers.
Jennifer Lopez plays Holly, a photographer who's been trying for years to conceive with her husband, Alex (Rodrigo Santoro), with no luck. They're hoping to adopt an orphan from Ethiopia, an emotionally intense, life-changing moment for which Lopez's character apparently felt the need to wear fake eyelashes.
Banks' Wendy also has been trying to have a baby for a while with her husband, Gary (Ben Falcone). Once the test finally comes up positive and they go to tell Gary's father (Dennis Quaid), an arrogant former NASCAR legend, they find that dad and his new trophy wife (Brooklyn Decker) also have gotten pregnant - with no trouble at all. This competitive daddy-issue subplot, which culminates with a zany golf-cart showdown, is one of the more flimsy and cliched elements of the film.
Then there's the twentysomething Rosie (Anna Kendrick) and Marco (Chace Crawford), competing food-truck entrepreneurs and former high school classmates who weren't all that careful when they finally gave into their flirtations one night. Kendrick is, as always, adorable and accessible and she and Crawford have a nice chemistry with each other.
Jones bops around between all these stories at a steady pace and only finds real energy when he comes back to the dads' group, which Alex joins in preparation for fatherhood. Within seconds of watching Rock riff on what it's really like to be a parent, you get a glimpse of how good this movie might have been. Instead, you should probably keep your expectations in check.
"What to Expect When You're Expecting," a Lionsgate release, is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content, thematic elements and language. Running time: 110 minutes. Two stars out of four.

>Your problem may also be from damage to your eustachian tube from an infection that occurred years ago. There may not be anything your physician can do for such a chronic problem, but decongestant medications may be available that can shrink swollen tissue and allow air to move freely in and out of the middle ear space. Your physician can assist you in finding the best and most effective medication for you. You may have to try several. Some doctors recommend certain nasal sprays that also help shrink chronic swelling in the mucus membranes, but these are short-term solutions that can be used a limited number of times. Additionally, you will need to consider the possibility of side effects any nasal spray or decongestant medication may produce.
>Finally, remember to clear before you get into the water. This helps you to make sure you don't have a problem that could be corrected at the surface before you dive, such as taking a drink of water to keep your mouth moist. You may need to simply add something new to your current clearing technique, such as clearing as often as every 1 to 2 feet/0.3 to 0.6 meters in order to prevent further injury. Make sure that when clearing you do it gently and before the problem becomes severe. Waiting too long will cause unnecessary pain, and a forceful clearing attempt by pinching your nose at that time may cause middle ear damage. Several gentle maneuvers and switching back and forth between swallowing and pinching your nose and gently blowing may be the ticket to a trouble-free dive. Above all, if you cannot equalize, then abort the dive.

Logana Pool and Waterslide
After a library visitor recently asked about the Logana facility, I learned a great bit about local entertainment history.
Logana Plunge was located at 415 West and 1400 North around five artisan wells, four of which were geothermally heated, 80 degree water. The first swimming hole on the site was constructed in the 1920's. Soon a roof was constructed over the pool, but this roof collapsed in the mid-1960's during a heavy snowfall.
Ken and Marie Lindquist bought the pool in 1970 from Blaine Spencer. They soon added a slide for little kids and baseball batting cages along with other improvements. The swimming pool was finally closed in 1992. It is reported that Logan City considered buying the facility, but decided instead to construct the Logan Aquatic Center which currently serves the citizens of Logan at 451 South 500 West.

Logan Sanborn Maps Now Available
The Logan Library recently acquired a full set of Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps for Logan City, including the years 1885, 1890, 1900, 1930, and 1955. The maps have been supplied to us by the University of Utah.
Originally used by fire fighters to estimate the potential risk for urban structures, Sanborn maps are well known by family historians and researchers of local history to include incredible details about each building in a city. They aid the researcher to understand the history, growth, and development of Logan. The maps include information such as the outline of each building, the size, shape and construction materials, heights, and function of structures, location of windows and doors. The maps also give street names, street and sidewalk widths, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers.
Ask at the Logan Library Reference Desk to use this important new resource.

Did you know that the Y Trafton Center on Elm Street is a program of the Sanford-Springvale YMCA? The funds for the center were donated by Ethel Trafton Levasseur through the Sanford YMCA, which has supported our mission for more than 43 years.
I bring this up because it is a unique situation and one that I believe benefits all of us. With the support of the Y, we are able to offer wellness programs, art classes, trips, affordable events and opportunities to socialize that cannot be matched anywhere in Sanford or the surrounding communities.
I recently attended a planning meeting, and we did a brainstorming session designed to draft an impact statement for the center. Wow, what in the world does that mean? Simply, what is the Trafton about? Words started popping up — words like "lively," "energetic," "fun," "nurturing" and many more. I was pleased and surprised, as this group was not made up of seniors; as a matter of fact, I was the oldest person in the room — but we won't go there.
I came away thinking that about the impact we have on our community. The folks who come to the Trafton are ageless. When we share our time and talent with one another in an environment that supports our needs, great things happen. Our center is more than bricks and mortar; it is a community, and you are welcome to be part of it.
On a different note, we are also working on new ways to let folks know what is happening at the Trafton. Thanks to this column, I now have a way to share our great stories with you. We are also in the process of bringing our website up to speed, and if you like Facebook, check out the Sanford Y page and you will see news from Elm Street as well.
We are in the process of putting together our March calendar, and if you would like it mailed or emailed to you, give us a call at 457-0080, and we will make sure you get all the news. Better yet, stop by the center and see us in person.
Until next time ...
Thea Murphy is the executive director of the Trafton Center.

On one hand, the Indigo movement (or whatever you want to call it) claims to "embrace" children with differences, and that crystal children should be respected, that their "differences" are meaningful and are gifts. Crystal children, it seems, are essentially kids who have sensory integration issues, autism (or autistic symptoms), ADHD, gifted children, etc.
When I further "researched" the Crystals and such, I was surprised to find some similarities between them and those who speak of acceptance for autistics. For one, this group of people are very anti-medication. Many members of the Autism Hub, feel medication is overused. Most of us hold off on medication except for seizures, self-injury, debilitating anxiety, etc. We don't simply put our child on drugs because they are diagnosed with autism. And we are certainly against autistic individuals being drugged and locked up in institutions. Another similarity was the belief that these "Crystals" are a further step in "evolution," and somehow a higher state of being. I have heard more than one Aspie speak like this. Very controversial, for sure, but another correlation between these two groups.
From the Starchild website:
In my book "The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children", I wrote that ADHD should stand for Attention Dialed into a Higher Dimension. This would more accurately describe that generation. In the same vein, Crystal Children don't warrant a label of autiem. They aren't autistic! They're AWE-tistic!
These children are worthy of awe, not labels of dysfunction. If anyone is dysfunctional, it's the systems that aren't accommodating the continuing evolution of the human species. If we shame the children with labels, or medicate them into submission, we will have undermined a heaven-sent gift. We will crush a civilization before its had time to take roots. Fortunately, there are many positive solutions and alternatives. And the same heaven that sent us the Crystal Children can assist those of us who are advocates for the children...and its a good direction!
So, I find it even more interesting that the belief system, if you will, that Ms. McCarthy holds near and dear, has such a theme of acceptance. They promote the idea that diagnoses like ADHD and autism are wrong, and given too often to these "crystals." Which further begs the question to Jenny: is it really all these Crystals being misdiagnosed--and not really a rise in autism or ADHD cases? Or is it the vaccines? I'd be interested to get her take on that.
I find it odd that in one breath, McCarthy speaks so highly of the Indigos and Crystals, and one would then think she would be accepting of her son's uniqueness (i.e. autism or autistic traits). And yet, the message of Jenny McCarthy is one of "fixing" and "altering" these children (with the goal of recovery, i.e. being indistinguishable from their peers). She tells us that her "perfect child" was "all of a sudden" gone. She now proudly declares she "recovered' him and that he now is no different than his peers.
Kryon's statement on Autism can be found here (click on "Autism). I must admit, I find myself agreeing on at least two of these statements, the first that Autism is genetic or at least something that a child is born with, not something they "catch" later (I have said before I feel my daughter was born the way she is, that it is a core part of who she is--not something separate nor caused by toxins, etc.). The second, is the last statement in the answer:
Perhaps it's time Humans moved a bit in their direction, instead of teaching them how to exist in yours?

Intro:You can tell us that Christmas, St Patrick's Day and Valentine's are corporate schemes to earn more money. Heck, you can say its a category that we have to earn us more money, but that's getting away from the spirit of what the holidays are about. One look at our "Holiday " category and you'll realize that these are shirts to share, to laugh, to love, and to enjoy.
Quality:It all starts with quality. During the holidays you would want to give and receive something of quality. Our shirts are preshrunk 100%* cotton. They are Gildan Heavy duty. Professional screened silk images and text decorate the fabric. In a time where you want to spend it with quality, shouldn't your shirt express what you're about?
Selection:Santa has thousands of gifts and we have thousands of shirts--psst! we're Santa! Just kidding, but we do have some representations of the big fella. You see, we like to spread joy for you and yours, and the only way we know how to do that is to have thousands of shirts with content that's relevant across the continent.
Policy:We're not the ones to ruin the holidays or your mood. Exchanges? Sure. Refunds? Why not. We just want to leave you with the impression that we aren't just another company, but one who cares about customer satisfaction.
Outro:Even though we have a naughty category, we would love to be apart of your family for the holidays via a shirt to share with everyone.

The Wilmington-based actress might be best known as "All My Children's" Julia Santos.
Whether she's portraying a crazy jealous Internet vixen in a Lifetime movie or a widowed mother who's opening up to new love while her son struggles to find his place in the world, Wilmington-based actress Sydney Penny says she's happy to do it all.
That is, as long as the character she's playing has some meat.
"Every role has its own challenge. As long as the character has some depth – isn't just 'mom, person who wears apron and bakes cookies' – there are unlimited opportunities," Penny said during a phone interview from her Wilmington home. "It doesn't mean that just because I'm not in my 20s anymore that it wouldn't be fun to play a cougar or a tiger or any of those other labels. So let's just say I'm for it all."
In her latest role, Penny appears alongside Eric Roberts ("The Dark Knight") and Louis Mandylor ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") in the locally filmed UP original movie "The Perfect Summer," which premieres at 7 p.m. July 13 on the cable channel formerly known as GMC.
Penny plays Alyssa, single mom to Jake (Adam Horner), a shy high-schooler who has trouble fitting into their new digs when Alyssa uproots them to the small beach town where her estranged father (Roberts) lives.
The transition is a rocky one made more complicated by an emerging relationship between Alyssa and her boss (Mandylor) and her past troubles with her dad, Penny said.
"Somebody described the story as basically 'Karate Kid,' but with surfing," she said. "So it's a fish-out-of-water tale about a young man trying to find his way in a new place where he doesn't fit in and has to learn new skills. And of course there's a girl (Raleigh native Katie Garfield) involved who he wants to get closer to. Then there's the added element of the family – three generations – trying to reestablish their relationship."
Penny says that she began to think about the details that make up Alyssa's personality as soon as she saw "Perfect Summer's" script.
"For me, often times in these movies there's the 'mom,' who doesn't really ever need to have a name or anything and she's just the one saying 'What's the matter, honey?' " Penny said. "But what I immediately loved about this script is that there was a real character – a real person there – and she has her own concerns. And she ends up having her own discovery of what her life is becoming. So that to me was exciting."
Penny, a California native, might be best known as "All My Children's" Julia Santos, who was disfigured by debris in a tornado and raped by a drug dealer before being shot at a wedding on the ABC soap opera in 2008. She's also played Bernadette Soubirous in a pair of movies about the young visionary from Lourdes and had a prominent role as a prospector's daughter in 1985's "Pale Rider."
This year, fans will spot her in "Dark Canyon," a Western she shot in Arizona, and "Heart of the Country," a locally filmed drama directed by Wilmington native John Ward that's slated for an August 20 release, Penny said. Although the actress didn't get her start in the Wilmington film scene until the late '90s, Penny has been a proponent of the local film and TV production industry ever since. She moved to Wilmington in 2005 and lives with her husband, Robert Powers, and their 6-year-old son.
"Whenever I have the chance to speak with people, I say, 'Let's make sure that projects are being created here and filmed here," she said. "The best way to do that is to start from the very beginning. When we have young filmmakers who arrive here and are hungry to learn and make movies, let's give them opportunities. Let's find a way to create a funding channel, so that when they want to make a movie, they can make it here as well. I have no magic answer to that, but when I talk to anybody, I try to get them to bring projects here and let them see for themselves our wonderful locations and crews and everything else that Wilmington has to offer."
Local filmmaker Eric Tomosunas, CEO of Swirl Films, the Wilmington-based company that produced "The Perfect Summer," called Penny to see if she was interested in participating.
"It's usually, 'Would you like to come to Canada? Would you like to come out to L.A.?' And this time it was, 'Would you like to go right down the street and shoot a movie?'" Penny said. "Being on set, I felt like I was among family, because I'd worked with some of the crew before, and I knew some of them when they were kids – it's such a tight community. Since the crews are here so often, they run like a well-oiled machine. I feel a sense of pride, I suppose, because it's homegrown."
Directed by Gary Wheeler ("Somebody's Child," "The Heart of Christmas"), "The Perfect Summer" also stars Jason Castro, a finalist in the seventh season of "American Idol," and Hollywood newcomers and North Carolinians J.D. Banks and Justin Barnhill. The family-friendly film shot at Aussie Island Surf Shop at Wrightsville Beach and at Carolina Beach and Fort Fisher, among other local spots.

Local actress Sydney Penny talks family films and finding the "magic combination" of roles.
On Swirl Films and UP's family-friendly programming:
"You'll find diversity in UP's projects and you'll find the same thing when you visit the sets – the crew is diverse – more so than many of the productions I've ever worked on, which I love because I look around and I se it as a reflection of every other part of my life. As far as UP is concerned, I was really excited to work with them because, kind of like the original Hallmark Channel directive, they're brand is similar to that – it's for families and it's fun. It's for kids, but it's also something parents and grandparents can relate to and I think that's a wonderful thing. They're inclusive rather than exclusive at UP, which I think is cool. The more people who watch the channel, the broader and bigger projects they can license, so the quality of entertainment gets better and better."
On producing:
"I think by nature I'm sort of an introducer. I like to introduce people who I think are talented and creative to each other and that's kind of a natural function of being a producer. I like to find talent in all areas – crew, acting, producing, writing, directing – and see if I can't help people find others who can further their goals and careers and expand their experience. And hopefully, along the way, I can also participate and expand my own experience."
On her "Perfect Summer" co-star, Eric Roberts:
"The funny thing about Eric Roberts playing my dad is while that's totally feasible if you sort of move our ages around just a little bit … but years ago we were trying to work it out to do this movie together and I was doing 'All my Children' at the time I guess, and I couldn't get away. And in that one I would have played his girlfriend, so that would have been strange. So I take that as an example as when something doesn't work out, you should just never wonder why, because 20 years later, it shows you why that was the case. This time, it was so I could play his daughter."
On finding success as a middle-aged actress:
"This is just beginning to happen to me that I've really long moved out of the 'ing�nue character' and into the supporting leading lady category, which is a really murky area. That's a category that basically includes everyone from 35 to 85. So I'm going to be here for a long time. But yeah I can play the mom of a 17-year-old. I mean, my son is 6, but I have nieces and nephews that are in their 20s, so it didn't feel uncomfortable."
On finding the right roles in Wilmington:
"The odd thing for me is that I'm often right for roles, but they cast in L.A. and many of the roles that are cast locally are for smaller roles, which is not really something I'm going for. So I would almost have to go out to L.A. in some cases to audition to come here and work. It's sort of a funny loophole … I've been fortunate to see it all and work all over the world and have a fabulous career. It's been my only job – it's been the only thing I've done since I'm 6 years old. So what I feel now is just joy and gratitude to do what I do and continue to meet new people. And to be able to do it in Wilmington is just icing on the cake. This is home."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the fourth time this season and sixth time in her career, senior Mallory McIntyre (Winnipeg, Manitoba/St. Mary's Academy) has been named the America East Setter of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday afternoon.
McIntyre handed out 76 assists over the weekend, for a 12.67 assists per set average, as UMBC locked up a spot in its six-straight America East Championships. The 2012 conference Co-Setter of the Year started her weekend by dishing out 38 assists and leading the Retrievers to a .360 hitting percentage in a three-set sweep of Providence. Then on Sunday, McIntyre sent out another 38 assists in the loss at Hartford.
For the season, McIntyre leads the America East with a 10.28 assists per set average with the Retrievers second in the league in hitting percentage (.203). The veteran has recorded nine double-doubles this season, second on the team behind classmate Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin).
With the win over Providence on Friday night, the UMBC volleyball team booked a trip to its sixth consecutive America East Championships, and the No. 2 seed, and will face No. 3 Albany in the tournament semifinals at 4:00 p.m. on Friday. For the first time in that six-year stretch, however, the Retrievers will not have to travel to the New York state capital, but rather to New Hampshire and Lundholm Gymnasium, home of the regular season champion Wildcats.
UMBC (18-11, 9-5 AE) swept the Friars to earn its ninth conference win of the season, the most for the Retrievers in their 11-year stay in the America East. The Retrievers take on the Great Danes (9-18, 9-5 AE) who had their five-year string of regular season championships snapped. Despite identical conference records, UMBC will serve as the home team and No. 2 seed in the tournament due to its sweep of Albany during the regular season.
League champion New Hampshire (18-12, 11-2 AE) will host the weekend festivities and face off against the No. 4 seed Stony Brook Seawolves (16-16, 9-5 AE) in the semifinal nightcap at 7:00 p.m.
The America East Championship match will pit the winners of the two semifinal matches against each other and will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 4:00 p.m. at Lundholm Gymnasium.

Auto Insurance Quote Gillett, Arkansas in or around 72055
Are you looking for Auto Insurance Quote in Gillett, Arkansas near Zip code: 72055?
Auto Coverage: Your Local Agent Does Make A Difference
We would love to hear from you today. https://odiorneinsurance.com
Since 1974, Odiorne Insurance has been recognized as a local Gillett, Arkansas, leading insurance provider.
Finding the right insurance underwriter for you needs is exactly what an independent agent does. We take the time to listen to our customers and make recommendations based on their input.
Whether your current policy is up for renewal or you're shopping for brand new coverage, we would love to assist you and answer any of your questions.
We offer many different types of insurance from personal to business. Regardless of the type of insurance you need feel free to give us a call to discuss your insurance needs today.
Covered Replacements
Should you be ever in an accident, we restore your car towards the condition it turned out in before the accident or better. Additionally, unfortunately we cannot charge a depreciated value for new replacement parts. Therefore, if your front fender now has wrinkles simply worth $175, but you will need a new fender that's $200, we pay full cost to the $370 fender. What this means is you are not playing exorbitant replacement fees in the case of an accident.
Ask About Our New Car Total Loss Coverage
Gap Insurance will cover the difference between your cars FMV (fair market value) and loan amount. This will especially make a difference during the first few years of new vehicle's depreciation where the actual retail value of your car may be substantially less than your loan's payoff amount.
While gathering auto insurance quotes, you may notice quite a price disparity between underwriters (insurance companies). There are many reasons for this, but it is always a good idea to request that your agent thoroughly review the difference with you. All agents have a fiduciary responsibility to conduct themselves in an ethical and honest way. If you every feel your agent is being dishonest or using deceptive practices, you may want to file a report with the local department of Insurance Regulation. At Odiorne Insurance, we strive to uphold our fiduciary responsibility. A well-informed insurance shopper is our greatest ally. We believe when a customer fully understands the details of their policy; they will appreciate how our local agency approach makes a difference.
Sometimes the cost of premiums between two insurance providers can vary substantially. If the coverages are not equal, the rates may be very different. This may not be discovered until it's too late. Be careful when removing coverage to save money as it could have serious implications when a claim is presented.
Other times the coverage may be very similar or even sound identical, but the rates are not the same. Why would this be? Think of it like two steak restaurants with varying qualities of meat and substantially different buildings. Or even the same quality of meat but very different locations. One may be situated in a very expensive area of downtown and the other may be in a small building on the outskirts of town. Which would be in a position to offer lower pricing? Certainly not the one in the multi-million dollar high-rise overlooking the water and cityscape. If this is the case, then the cost difference may be the companies ability to offer price savings due to operational efficiently (less overhead). There are many factors which can influence price differences, and this includes companies who lower their rates to attract new clients. There are numerous marketing reasons why pricing may differ but whatever the reason, the most important thing is to be sure you are getting the best coverage for your needs, at a price that is affordable, from a stable and viable company who can be relied on to settle promptly any qualify the claims presented.
We will be happy to review each area of your potential policies and coverage line by line to make sure your insurable interest are well protected.

Former FBI Director Louie Freeh is being treated for serious injuries suffered from a car accident in Vermont, law enforcement said Monday.
According to Vermont State Police, Freeh has a broken leg, cuts on his head and other injuries after a car he was driving on Route 12 in Barnard crashed into a tree after he drove off the road, striking a mailbox and a row of shrubs.
Authorities say Freeh was taken by helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire to treat his injuries.
The latest news from around the state
The crash is under investigation, but police say Freeh was wearing his seat belt at the time and that preliminary reports say alcohol and drugs didn't play a factor in the crash.
Freeh, 64, was FBI Director from 1993 to 2001.
In 2011, Freeh was hired by Penn State to investigate the handling of child sex abuse complaints involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, The Associated Press reported.

Authorities in Louisiana say a 6-foot alligator showed up at the front door of a Super 8 Motel outside Baton Rouge and bit a guest.
West Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff Mike Cazes told The Advocate his office got the call about the alligator around 4 p.m. Wednesday in Port Allen.
Matt Marszal, the motel's front desk clerk, said the gator bit one of the motel guests who tried to catch it before Animal Control workers showed up.
U.S. & World
Marszal said the man was taken to the hospital. Once Animal Control workers arrived, he said the gator was subdued within 5 minutes.
"I couldn't believe something like that was out there," Marszal told The Advocate. He had just moved to the area from Florida.
"I never saw one up close before. I was getting kind of worried," he said.

Yesterday, Her Majesty The Queen at long last knighted Sir Bruce Forsyth at Buckingham Palace. Investitures take place throughout the year, usually around 25. Most take place at Buckingham Palace, but occasionally there are some that take place at Windsor Castle and Her Majesty's official Scottish residence, Hollyrood Palace, in Edinburgh.
The first time I went to Buckingham Palace was on the occasion of my father's investiture. That was many years ago, where I was young boy and the only thing I can really remember was that the entrance to the gentleman's lavatories was a moving wall. Investitures have changed since my father's, as now there are considerably more celebrities that are given honours. Back when I was at the Palace, there was only one vaguely famous person, namely the radio and TV presenter David Jacobs CBE. We can mainly thank Mr. Blair for the increase of celebs at these ceremonies.
As with Sir Bruce's ceremony, the Buckingham Palace investitures take place in the Ballroom, watched by family and friends of each recipient. Sir Bruce's knighthood was announced in June in The Queen's Birthday Honours List. New honours also get detailed at the start of each year in the New Year's Honours List.
During the ceremony light music is provided by an orchestra from the Household Division as each recipient receives their honour. The dress code is smart, as one would expect. Morning dress, military uniform, lounge suits or national dress (the same as April's Royal Wedding).
The usual royal protocol is to be followed: don't shake Her Majesty's hand until she puts her hand out first, and only then shake it lightly. What is interesting to note about the handshakes at investitures is that Her Majesty will extend her hand at the end of the exchange with each recipient and will usually push her hand out further at the end of the shake in order to suggest to the recipient that they should now take their leave from in front of the dais. You can see from the video of Sir Bruce's knighthood that Her Majesty does just that. Recipients should not be offended at this – Her Majesty has around 120 people to invest.
The Queen usually converses with each of the newly honoured, but only few a very short time. Details of the conversation should remain private and it is not the done thing to then go and tell the press what was said. The same applies for any conversation with Royalty. Alas, Sir Bruce did not adhere to this etiquette during an interview with the BBC's Sophie Rayworth – mind you, she should not have asked!
Sir Bruce is now a Knight Bachelor, which is one of the highest honours (although the lowest form of Knight but the one most usually given). During this, the recipient kneels on his right knee on the investiture stool and The Queen dubs him with a naked sword. Women are made Dames but this does not involve the sword. Contrary to popular belief, Her Majesty does not say 'Rise, Sir Bruce' or anything similar. Instead the recipient simply rises, then stands to the left of the stool before being invested with the insignia of the Order.
As Sir Bruce is now a Knight Bachelor he received just a badge (worn round the neck), whereas Knights of an Order of Chivalry receive a star pinned on the left side of the coat and a badge.

(Corrects second paragraph to say that the states are expected to lower the cap, instead of have agreed to lower the cap. Changes order of words in headline.)
By Valerie Volcovici
WASHINGTON, Feb 6 (Reuters) - States involved in the developing northeastern U.S. carbon market are expected to announce on Thursday that they will reduce the program's emissions cap as a way to stimulate allowance trading and strengthen its environmental goals, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council.
The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative's (RGGI) nine member states are expected to lower the market's carbon cap to as low as 91 million short tons from the current level of 165 million for the next phase, which will run from 2014 to 2017, said Dale Bryk, an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which is a RGGI stakeholder and observer.
The regional initiative is the first market-based regulatory program in the United States that has a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
States sell emission allowances, mostly through auctions, and the proceeds are used to fund energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
RGGI is a cooperative effort among the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
An RGGI official confirmed that an announcement is pending but could not provide details.
Most power plants in the RGGI states currently have no incentive to trade in the nascent carbon market because the region's emissions fall well below the current cap, which had been set based on projections made in 2005.
The cap had been set higher back then because natural gas prices were around $8 and the economy was booming. But when the market began trading at the end of 2008, natural gas prices and the economy sank, which lowered carbon emissions.
The cap reset is one of a number of changes that the program is expected to announce on Thursday, Bryk said.
She said the states are also expected to announce that they will raise the minimum bid price for allowances to over $3 per ton from the current level of $1.93.
State officials have been reviewing the program for over a year. Consultancy ICF International modeled scenarios looking at what would happen if the original 2014 cap was reduced to 97 million tons or 91 million tons.
Emissions from the roughly 160 power plants covered by the program last year were projected to come in at about 91 million tons, the new level agreed by the RGGI states.
There has been growing pressure by state lawmakers and emissions traders to tighten the cap.
Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, the initiative's biggest emitting state, this week called for RGGI to tighten its cap during his annual "State of the State" address, in which he outlined his policy priorities.
The NRDC's Bryk said the announcement will send an important signal to other states that have not yet set mandatory carbon emission limits or set a price on carbon emissions.
California is the only other state to have in place a mandatory carbon cap-and-trade system. While RGGI covers the northeastern U.S. electric sector, California's market plans to cover over 80 percent of the state's economy.
Actions taken by these states are going to be important in the coming years as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency begins to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from the country's existing fleet of power plants.
While the EPA is expected to set a national standard, it will likely be up to the states to come up with plans to comply with that target. (Reporting By Valerie Volcovici; additional reporting by Rory Carroll in San Francisco)

I just installed CentOS 6.2 on my server but it keeps going to the GRUB prompt. I've never used Grub before but did some digging online. Looks like I have to run the
kernel command before I can boot the system. However, the kernel command is not running. As I installed the OS I checked the box that said something like "Install boot loader on /dev/sda". The following is what I've done:
grub> find /vmlinuz-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64
grub> root (hd1,0)
grub> kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 root=/dev/sda1
Error 27: Unrecognized command
I've tried it with and without the root=/dev/sda1, just /dev/sda, also tried a
ro inserted in the middle but nothing works. I've read the docs but at a bit of a loss. Any suggestions?
