Kathy took her son, Erik, on a surfing expedition in Santa Barbara and was injured after the board hit her leg and it left her with a cut.
"Surfing with our son Erik---Ouch-- cut- in my leg," Kathy Tweeted on Sunday over the incident. "trip 2 ER--DH on duty--sewn up & heading home."

The model-turned-mom, 46, was given seven stitches by her very own husband, Greg Olsen, an emergency room doctor in Santa Barbara and Tony told Nancy the stitches are due to be taken out in a week.
Tony revealed he was shocked when he found out his latest partner was injured (Nancy, his partner last season, suffered a pre-"DWTS" competition injury and had to bow out before the season started).
"You did what?" Tony reacted when he found out about Kathy's incident. "And you weren't even dancing! Save the injuries for the dance floor."

But the injury hasn't slowed Kathy down in the slightest.
Tony told Nancy that Kathy actually practiced "more" this week following the injury than prior to receiving her boo-boo.
And Tony added that he had high praise for his partner.
"It didn't slow her down a bit," Tony said.

Floating Islands to be installed at Isle de Jean Charles near Houma, LA
The America's WETLAND Foundation, Coastal Conservation Association, Terrebonne Parish Coastal Management Office, Entergy, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, Shell and some 200 volunteers from the corporate sponsors, local schools, youth groups and the Isle de Jean Charles community will be employing for the first time, "floating island" restoration in an attempt to build new land and protect remaining lands in the Isle de Jean Charles area near Houma.
Using recycled plastics, each floating island is 5 x 8 feet and is planted with 50-60 plants. The islands will be towed and anchored next to existing land as a means of curtailing erosion through wave action. In addition, some islands will be placed away from existing land as an experiment to see if new land can be built in shallow waters. The plants in the island will grow root systems into the waterbottom, trap sediments and grow toward and tie into the disappearing marsh. If successful, the area will strengthen and flourish, serving as a model for sustainable land mass. During the three days, volunteers will plant about 1,500 linear feet of these floating island mats. This area has some of the worst coastal erosion in Louisiana, so if this experiment is as successful as anticipated by Martin Ecosystems of Baton Rouge, this demonstration project could launch a new weapon in the "multiple lines of offense" tactic in the war against coastal land loss.

Four high-ranking Republican members of the House Committee on Financial Services accused the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Wednesday of wasting time and money when implementing a law that would have set position limits on derivatives tied to 28 physical commodities.
Representatives Spencer Bachus (R-Ala), Scott Garrett (R-NJ), Jeb Hansarling (R-Tex) and Randy Neugebauer (R-Tex), made the charges in a letter to CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler, arguing that, in pursuing the "Position Limits Law" and other such legislation, the agency is "engaging in projects unrelated to the financial crisis and not required by Congress, which are draining its resources."
A federal judge vacated the rule on Sept. 28 and remanded it to the CFTC, ruling that the agency had "fundamentally misunderstood and failed to recognize the ambiguities in the statute." Critics of the proposed rule had argued that, although Dodd-Frank gave the CFTC the discretion to establish position limits to prevent economic burden caused by speculation, it did not require the agency to do so.
At the time of the rule's passage, several CFTC commissioners also voiced concerns about its implementation, a fact that was noted in the letter. Specifically, the four representatives cited testimony from Commissioner Michael Dunn, who stated at the time:
"Position limits are, in my opinion, a sideshow that has unnecessarily diverted human and fiscal resources away from actions to prevent another financial crisis. To be clear, no one has proven that the looming specter of excessive speculation in the futures market re-regulated even exist, let alone played any role whatsoever in the financial crisis of 2008."
According to the letter, the CFTC is seeking an almost 50% increase in its budget for next year, in order to better implement its Dodd-Frank mandate. "We are very concerned, in the wake of the financial crisis, that CFTC staff are using limited resources to pursue ideological and political goals rather than using the resources allocated by Congress to carry out the direct requirements of the agency," the letter went on to state.
In closing, the four representatives asked the CFTC to disclose the cost—both in time and money—that it spent drafting, reviewing and litigating the rule, including expected costs if the agency decides to appeal the ruling. Chairman Gensler and Commissioner Bart Chilton have signaled that they would support a decision to appeal.

For the last week rockets fired from Gaza have been a daily occurrence. Although they have caused limited damage to property and no one has been hurt or killed. (Frayed nerves and a couple of neurotic cats.) It is only a matter of time before someone is killed.
A Grad rocket fired by Gaza terrorists hit an open area near a residential neighborhood in Ashkelon on Friday morning. No physical injuries were reported, although several people suffered shock and required medical attention. A vehicle was also damaged.
Ashkelon had experienced relative quiet following the Cast Lead counterterror operation in Gaza in early 2009.
The attack follows an attack last week that was carried out using an imported rocket more sophisticated than the short-range "Kassam" rockets produced in Gaza. In that case, the rocket failed to explode, and no injuries were reported.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has followed a policy of quick response to attacks from Gaza. Air Force planes have demolished smuggling tunnels and weapons factories in the region following previous rocket attacks.
Sderot is the only town and the Western Negav is the only region in the world, where missiles are fired towards civilian population in the 21st Century.--Sderot Media Center
If you are planning a visit to Israel, plan a side visit to Sderot. You can contact the Sderot Media Center for a tour.

MOVIE REVIEW- Aloha-ha! 'Marshall' plan shortchanges women
What guy hasn't gone to Hawaii to get over some girl who dumped him, only to find her staying at the same resort? That's why Judd Apatow movies are so successful– everyone can relate to them.Jason Segel, who also wrote the screenplay, stars in Forgetting Sarah Marshall as Peter Bretter, who somehow had the good luck to be hooked up with TV star (Crime Scene, co-starring William Baldwin) Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell) for over five years. Peter writes the music– or rather, "dark, ominous tones"– for the show.
He doesn't realize it, but being arm candy for a diva was slowly emasculating him, and she wasn't happy with what he turned into either. Sarah finally calls it off, adding that she's already found someone to replace Peter.
Peter tries rebound sex but cries on his partner's shoulder afterward. His doctor (Steve Landesberg) advises him, "F*ck everything that moves." His married stepbrother (Bill Hader) suggests, "Take a vacation. Go to the Alps."
So Peter goes to Hawaii. No sense being cold as well as miserable. Sarah shows up with her new boyfriend, British rocker Aldous Snow (Russell Brand), before Peter can even check in. Rachael (Mila Kunis), the beautiful desk clerk, takes pity on him and comps him a suite. It's hard to tell how much of what she does afterward is motivated by pity because Segel, as is typical of Apatow and his writers, doesn't know much about women other than how they function sexually. They don't know much about mature men either, except that some of their man-boy characters will eventually evolve into them.
Even with Rachael's kindness, Peter's trip starts off badly. He's surrounded by loving couples, as Hawaii makes Paris look like a city of depressed loners. It's even "sea turtle f*cking season." But not everyone is as happy as they appear. Honeymooners Jack McBrayer and Maria Thayer are having sexual problems. The virginal husband is shocked to find that God "built a playground so close to a sewer system."
There's a lot of Heartbreak Kid-ding around along the way as Peter gets closer to Rachael (but is it just a resort romance?) and Sarah finds reasons to wonder if she made the right choice.
There are plenty of solid laughs ("Are those sad tissues or happy tissues?") in what boils down to little more than a feature-length, illustrated locker room conversation. Calling the main character Peter is only the first of many indications of the script's phallocentricity.
Segel isn't exactly a sympathetic hero. Peter feels so sorry for himself that he doesn't need our sympathy, and his crying scenes are no more appealing than his nude scenes, which few viewers are likely to find sexy.
Kunis makes a stronger impression than Bell, even if her character takes a couple of strange detours; so Peter's ultimate choice, if he has one, won't be difficult. Bell is barely up to the limited demands of the script when what's needed is someone who can fill in the outline of a woman Segel has created.
Brand, a young Rupert Everett type, has fun parodying the rock and roll lifestyle; and Apatow regulars Jonah Hill and Paul Rudd score as, respectively, a fawning waiter and space-case surfing instructor.
Perhaps to encourage repeat business or DVD sales, a lot of lines that follow big laughs are spoken very quietly, too many to be coincidental.
I'm one of the few critics who liked Drillbit Taylor, but the Apatow thing didn't work for me this time. I laughed too much to give Forgetting Sarah Marshall a totally negative review, but the fact that Richard Roeper practically orgasmed over it on television says more about Roeper than it does about the movie.

911 Commission Transcripts..., Need to read them...

Look at a "track" as being a yellow "post-it" with "some" of the airplanes' important information written on it...IE: flight number, assigned and reported altitude, ground speed, and a computer ID number [for atc use]. And the look at it as though after each radar "swep", a controller picks the post-it up from the scope and places it at the NEW location where the associated aircraft is seen by the REAL radar blip. So, if you can see how the controller-post-it combination can keep the identity of that TARGET constant as it moves across the radar scope, then step ahead into the following:
Replace the post-it with an alpha-nuemeric data block created SOLELY by the programming within the ATC computer...and replace the controller "moving" the data block with the SAME computer program that has a capacity to "search for" a certain transponder code-OR-a primary target...and when finding such a target...will then instruct the computer to RE-LOCATE the TRACK to the exact place that the RADAR part of the RDP [radar data processing] system...the BLIP...has been found.
So, the TRACK is computer generated...the TARGET is AIRCRAFT generated, but shown in several ways...
The TRACK has a certain "momentum" that it uses to project "where" to search for ITS target...and it is a computer generated "vector" that helps the computer look for and MOVE the alpha-nuemeric data block to where the TARGET is most likely to be at the NEXT radar sweep...when it finds the target...it moves the TRACK to that EXACT point where the target has been seen.
NOW...IF...there is no longer a TARGET 'seen" at this new "predicted" location based upon the vector speed and direction of the last two "hits" of the TARGET...[as generated by the track's previous movements ALONG WITH the TARGET...]...
THEN...the computer generated ALPHA-NUEMERIC DATA TRACK...CONTINUES ON ITS LAST HEADING AND SPEED until it either, picks up a "target" somewhere that it still is "looking for", or until a controller cancels the track in the computer.
AND..when the track is "SEARCHING FOR A TARGET", but cannot find one, the track goes into COAST MODE...that means that the track will still "move along" according to the LAST TWO headings and speeds registered by the REAL TARGET...I say again..the REAL TARGET. The TRACK will go on this way FOREVER...
At this time, the COAST MODE of the track is indicated to the controllers by a small # sign that is located where the TARGET used to be.
So, PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS...
...EVERYONE...the FAA controllers, the Secret Service, the FAA HQ, the military who have access to the FAA Command Center displays, and...what I used to call "Central Flow Control...which I guess is now the TMU...Traffic Management Unit, has the capacity to watch all of the......................
TRACKS of aircraft within US airspace....
It has nothing to do with.........................
the TARGETS within the US airspace...
Therefore, those who said that AA11 was still airbourne were lying because the TRACK...for AA11...had LOST its....
TARGET back on Mnhattan....
AND... the TRAGETLESS TRACK...continued on southbound...with the COAST MODE # sign where the target was supposed to be...IF there were one...which there wasn't!!!!
ANYONE who knew ANYTHING about alpha nuemeric TRACKS...knew that there was no target...because AA11's TRACK had been in COAST MODE for tens of miles...and it showed this it in the data block...since Manhattan...
So, they INVENTED the idea that AA11 was still airbourne because they SAW a TRACK with AA11's info on it...but there was no target...
The AA11 "still airborne invention" was needed by the military to justify scrambling Langley fighters because they had to claim that they were never informed that AA77 was hijacked...meaning that they were building an excuse to explain WHY the "alleged" AA77 TARGET [not tracked] was not shot down because Langley was scrambled in plenty of time to do it...
So, AA11's COAST TRACK came in handy to get the military off the hook...for now.
A TRACK is one thing...alll computer generated...
A TARGET is another thing...its a blip from RAW radar that is sometimes dressed up a bit as a plain or fancy "blip" on the radar screens...
TRACK-TARGET...not the same!
Love, Peace and Progress...

Robin H - you are a welcome addition to the forum. Thanks for bringing the light.
The 'confusion' over AA11 as "still airborne and heading south" is clearly a red herring -- or there's something they are not telling us.
Our military's radar, with PAVE-PAWS in Otis AFB (and alaska), which can track up to 10,000 small-fast-moving MIRVs at once, does not "miss" an errant 757. Unless it is doing so on purpose.
The feeling I get is that the military had to CYA big time. After the event was OVER, they looked at what information was publicly available, that they woudl HAVE to explain, and then reverse-engineered their responses based on that, NOT based on what they were doing.

I'm convinced that the phantom flight 11 was no track, but a real target, and here are my major points:
Point 1. Official FAA diagrams show AA11 west of New York City at 8:47 - when it allegedly had crashed already:
Frank Levi has pointed out here that AA11 was 9.6 miles west of NYC at that point:
In case these pictures are to blurry, take a look at this FAA file here (scroll down to page 18):
Here AA11 is in Sector 42 of ZNY. But according to the official flight path, AA11 was never in Sector 42!
If the phantom was a "track", how did it end up west of NYC? Its last direction was South.
Point 2. I have shown here
that at least some passengers, probably all, didn't embark on AA11 via Terminal B, Gate 32. (They took Gate 26). In other words, the plane pushing back from Gate 32 was empty - apart from the pilots.
The two pilots were certainly part of the MIHOP plot and didn't intend to commit suicide by ramming their plane into the WTC.

You have it exactly correct. The military has had to cover their tails BIG TIME...and in addition to having a small handfull of "moles" at the various facilties steering some events and the like, their entire approach to all of this was to wait until what they thought was ALL the information was out in the public, and then engineer backwards to explain it all. Right on brother!
Three points to remember:
1. The FBI took control of the ZBW tapes almost immediately after the 9/11 events THAT MORNING!
2. Any tapes, conversations, recordings, radar data that come out of Rummie's military are most likely to have been "docktored, fixed, hacked, or created" to back up their ever changing timelines. And I think that we have caught them.
3. Of all ironies, the single thing that screwed up all their plans more than anything else is the following:[times are approximate from my memory...so keep calm]
UA175 was 14' late for departure...
UA93 was 40' late for departure...[which is why they had to finally shoot it down]
AA77 was 17' late for departure...
These late departures extended the entire length of this amazing lack of military response on 9/11. I now call it the "institutionalized stand-down" of the military.
More on all that later...can't do anything until folks on this site get the difference between a target and a track...
The military has had to keep modifying its story...a polite term for LYING-yet again, in order to make it appear that they are clear of being responsible for the failure to defend this country on 9/11...which they planned to fail to do!
Love, Peace and Progress...

thanks Robin
it seem that also at Pentagon, similar reverse-engineered CYA after they decided what info was in public domain -- like 330 degree turn, etc.
back to AA11:
I was intrigued by Woody's notice of AA11 (or more than one 'AA11'?) as a continuing airborne radar target, in addition to the 'track' ...
yes, there is confusion engendered by these terms among us non-ATC, you did great work explaining them -- but wished to pass on that after many interchanges with Mr. Woody there are few that have studied AA11 in so much detail.
it sounds bizarre, but there was an AA11 departing from Logan B-32.
and something else, also perhaps calling itself AA11, from B-26.
who was flying each one is hard to determine. Ogonowski was flying one, it seemd. but who flew the other plane, if one existed? -- ('disregard tail number...')
(so much confusion, that on the first anniversary, 9/11/02, some AA personnel did ceremonies at gate b-26, some American airlines people were mourning at b-32...)
the existence of a phantom track of AA11 would become useful to the military to explain certain aspects of their scramble response to the 9/11 Commission.
of course, they had 'forgotten' about the track in first replies in 2001-2.

Thanks for the discussion on Tracks, this is first info for me. Woody does seem to raise a valid question, can the track be changed and if so, by whom?

Hi Robin, I am new to the forum.
Sorry for posting here years later than this topic is apparently over, but there are some questions I would like you or other members would answer to.
7. My inside information has Scoggins being the ONE who indeed posited that AA11 was still airbourne, and he admits he made an error in confirming such because he said he was just "passing on" information that he had heard over the "phone bridges".
First of all, thank you for clarifying the difference between a target and a coast track. However, we have a problem here. In this interview to 911 myths years later, Scoggins firmly denies someone was monitoring either any target or any track after the primary track of Flight 11 was lost just before Manhattan.
911myths: Why did you believe that Flight 11 may still be in the air?
Colin Scoggins: I was listening on a Telcon with some people at Washington HQ, and other facilities as well, but don't know who they were. Didn't know the people at FAA HQ either. It was some kind of security telcon. I was in contact with many people at that time, UAL175 had crashed. NEADS was interested in Tail Numbers of AAL11 and UAL175. I believe it was either Dan Bueno the Supervisor in charge, or Bo Dean who made some initial calls to the airlines requesting if their aircraft were down, and tail number information. UAL Airlines replied within minutes that they could confirm UAL 175 was down, and they had the tail number. AAL Airlines was totally different. They do what I think they are supposed to do, by locking down their computer after an aircraft crashes, but when they did that, they couldn't access passenger lists, route of flight, it locks everyone out. So we never got confirmation that the plane was down. Somehow this either got misconstrued, and ended up in FAA channels, indicating the plane never crashed, or what I think happened is that someone in HQ knew that AAL77 was missing, and when they were talking about AAL77 they may have dropped the numbers and were reporting that AAL was still missing or still flying but no one knew where. I think this ended up on the telcon as AAL 11 is still airborne. From my point of view the aircraft was heading south at low altitude and we had lost radar, my only guess was he was heading for Washington DC. I found out years later and I am 99% certain the person who made that call on the telcon was Dave Canoles, he has since retired. I took the information I received and called NEADS almost instantly, can't tell you who I told that to, I talked with so many people there the whole day.
911myths: Several 9/11 researchers authors have reported that the "phantom flight 11" was spotted on radar. Is that true?
Colin Scoggins: I have no idea where that came from. Once we lost the aircraft we never even had a hint of another target. I even called FACSFAC VACAPES which has radar up and down the coast, to look for targets, they didn't come up with any.
911myths: If it was never on radar, why say it was going to Washington?
Colin Scoggins: Again it was just my hunch, as where they were heading. The aircraft would have enough gas to get there even at low altitude, but if the aircraft was heading to Cuba, it would never make it at low altitude. Couldn't think of any other important targets on the east coast, so that was where my mind was. I also tried to guess where the aircraft would be at the speed it was traveling. LINK
First Question
If the source of the wrong assumption about Phantom Flight 11 was actually a computer generated track, why not admit this years later? It would perfectly fit in the official theory and would also backup the delayed/failed fighters' scramble story. But Scoggins does not mention any phantom track. According to his statement, once we lost the aircraft we never even had a hint of another target. So, Boston was not monitoring Flight 11 anymore, therefore Scoggins assumes the wrong information came from FAA HQ. But nobody at FAA HQ has ever confirmed this, to the best of my knowledge. So, if there was a computer generated track on radar, which radar came this track from? If a phantom track was actually on any radar, why not admit openly and clearly which radar this track was spotted on? As usual, Scogging tries to muddy the waters, but conveniently makes no mention about any track on radar. I find it highly suspect. Also, the idea that someone on FAA HQ confused the real/phantom Flight 11 with Flight 77 is simply ridiculous. Flight 77 was lost at 8:56 between the Ohio and Kentucky border and Indianapolis ATC believed it crashed. Wherever Flight 77 was at 9:21, when Scoggins calls NORAD to inform that Flight 11 is still airborne and heading to Washington DC, in no way it could be on the way between New York and Washington DC, where it never had been and could not be. Nobody at FAA HQ in Washington could have spotted such a phantom track of Flight 77 between NY and Washington before 9:21 and confused it with Phantom Flight 11.
The fact that Scoggins does everything possible to deny any track on the radar as well as the source of his "wrong" information leads me to conclude that, if anything was spotted on the radars coming from New York headed to Washington before 9:21, that was a real plane target, not a coast track. They would have plenty of reasons to cover a real primary target. I can't see any plausible reason to cover a coast track, since this would fit perfectly in the official story.
Second Question
As Woody correctly pointed out on Post#23 and Rob on post#11 (if I get his jpeg right), how could possibly a coast track headed South being headed to Washington? Something does not add up here. Either they were following a coast track headed South (i.e. not to Washington) or they were monitoring a primary target of a real plane actually headed to Washington:
FAA Boston: Military, Boston Center. I just had a report that American 11 is still in the air, and it's on its way towards—heading towards Washington.
NEADS: Okay. American 11 is still in the air?
FAA Boston: Yes.
NEADS: On its way towards Washington?
FAA Boston: That was another—it was evidently another aircraft that hit the tower.That's the latest report we have.
NEADS: Okay.
FAA Boston: I'm going to try to confirm an ID for you, but I would assume he's somewhere over, uh, either New Jersey or somewhere further south.
NEADS: Okay. So American 11 isn't the hijack at all then, right?
FAA Boston: No, he is a hijack.
NEADS: He—American 11 is a hijack?
FAA Boston: Yes.
NEADS: And he's heading into Washington?
FAA Boston: Yes.This could be a third aircraft.LINK
There is a blatant contradiction between this transcript and Scoggins' later account (first quote). somewhere over, uh, either New Jersey or somewhere further south perfectly match a South West path to Washington, in no way the original South path of Flight 11.
Thank you in advance to you and any other member to clarify my doubts.

...at least some passengers, probably all, didn't embark on AA11 via Terminal B, Gate 32. (They
took Gate 26). In other words, the plane pushing back from Gate 32 was empty - apart from the
But if that's the case, then the several passenger and crew mobile phone users, who allegedly
made calls from the grounded Flight 11 plane at Logan; would have had the opportunity to
unwittingly expose the Gate deception, by reporting their true location.
E.g. Damning voicemail message: "Hi; just thought I'd call you before my plane takes off. I'm at Gate 26, Terminal B...".
Isn't it more likely, that the manifest (which judging by Flight 93's, was large enough for two small flights) was bisected?:
Official Gate B32: flight-legitimating cell phone possessors - security checkpoint-logged phones, confiscated at an inoperable cruising altitude.*
Secret Gate B26: non-cell phone possessors* - staged hijack plane.
*So that neither occupancy group, can report when their plane secretly lands.

Dominique Young Unique is the exciting and, yes, young, MC behind tracks like "She's Unique" (you might remember we recently featured the premiere of its video), and 2010's awesomely crass "Show My Ass."
Tending to favor electro-club beats that match her spit-fire flow, Dominique Young Unique has an uncanny way of mixing her international party vibe with unassuming candor. Ms. Unique also dipped her toe into the fashion world when she modeled for Katie Eary at London Fashion Week and hung out with Kanye West. We recently caught up with the Florida-native in Los Angeles to talk about her recent globe-trotting adventures, how to cool down when the weather gets hot, and what outfits work best for a live show.

GUANTANAMO BAY, Cuba, Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Officials at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, denied bugs were installed in the courtroom or elsewhere to pierce attorney-client privilege.
Besides denying microphones or other devices were surreptitiously installed so government intelligence officials could listen to confidential sessions between defense lawyers and five detainees in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United Sates, witnesses also testified Tuesday legal mail for the detainees is not routinely opened and reviewed, except during prison-wide checks for contraband, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The officials were called by the defendants' lawyers, who claim government officials have been spying on the defense. The military judge, Army Col. James L. Pohl, hasn't ruled on whether the alleged eavesdropping compromised the military tribunal process.
Navy Capt. Thomas L. Welsh, the staff judge advocate at Guantanamo, said microphones and video cameras were hidden throughout the prison only to help the staff monitor security, the Times said.
"The person sitting in the room wouldn't know it was a microphone," Welsh said.
But he said "we don't listen in. ... Under my watch, definitely, we just don't listen in."
Welsh also testified that some of the prisoners' legal mail was seized in a prison-wide inspection, including letters for Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged Sept. 11 mastermind.
"It was taken and returned," Welsh said.
Another witness, Maurice Elkins, director of courtroom technology, testified it would be nearly impossible for outside intelligence officials, known as Original Classification Authorities, to access and record private defense conversations, the Times said.
However, "I do not know what the OCA's capability is," Elkins said.
The hearings are being broadcast simultaneously at Fort Meade, Md.

Emmanuel College Alumna Mollie Walton Corbett ('95) sang "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch of Game 5 of the World Series on Nov. 1. Her performance was viewed by more than 50,000 fans in Texas Rangers Stadium and broadcast to millions of television viewers.
Despite the massive crowds, Corbett says she found herself surprisingly calm when the big moment came.
"I felt absolutely electrified, as though I were stepping into a moment designed by God specifically for me. He met me at home plate and gave me an audience of millions to proclaim His blessing," says Corbett, a Virginia Beach native who currently resides in Shreveport-Bossier, La.
The opportunity to sing at Texas Rangers Stadium came through Corbett's husband, USAF TSgt Charles Corbett, who is stationed in nearby Arlington, Texas. He encouraged her to sing at various Air Force events, which led his squadron commander to recommend her to sing the National Anthem and "God Bless America" at Texas Rangers Stadium. Mollie had performed at two previous Rangers games before being invited to sing at the World Series. She has also performed several times for the AAA Minor League Norfolk Tides at Harbor Park in Norfolk, Va.
"The World Series is my largest audience to date, but it felt really quiet and intimate on the field. It's not as loud on the ball field as it is in the stands. It really feels like two different geographical locations," says Corbett.
Corbett's performance was in honor of military service men and women and their families.
Corbett earned a B.A. in English with a minor in music (A.A.) from Emmanuel College, where she was a member of the Emmanuel Singers and took part in various campus musicals and productions. She went on to earn a master's degree in theology from Regent University in 2006. Corbett says that many of her most meaningful relationships were formed during her time at Emmanuel and Regent.
"Those people in my life represent some of the greatest joy I've known in this life's journey. I am incomplete without them, and I wouldn't trade their presence in my life for anything," says Corbett.
Corbett also has strong roots within the IPHC. She led worship at Centerville Christian Fellowship in Chesapeake, Va., from 1999 to 2002. Before that, she was a long-time camper and later a counselor in summer camps in the Eastern Virginia Conference (now Redemption Ministries). She fondly recalls working with Rev. Garry Bryant, current national field director of Acts2Day Ministries, as well as Pastor Danny Meads, who was music director at Norfolk First PHC in Norfolk, Va., (now Parkway Christian Center in Chesapeake, Va.), where Corbett attended as a child.
"He [Danny] gave me my first solo as a child and tried to teach me to play piano, but lost out to softball! He also introduced me to Junior and Teen Talent, and is still the teacher I consider my greatest defining influence on my talent as a singer," says Corbett.
A self-professed Creative, Corbett has interests in a variety of artistic fields, particularly vocal performance and wedding/special event photography. She plans to sing at more Rangers games in 2011, and is exploring the possibility of releasing an album due to fan requests.
Mollie and Charles Corbett have been married since 2004. They have one son, Jackson, who is 3 years old.

First Listen: R. Kelly's 'Black Panties' LP Strives For Raunchy R&B's Championship Belt
R. Kelly walks into Atlanta's Patchwerk Studios looking anything but inconspicuous. He is gloriously in modern R&B king mode: colorful printed shirt, red leather pants, red sneakers, a gold backpack and cigar in hand. On a lukewarm Saturday afternoon, the 46-year-old is in high spirits as he faces a packed, claustrophobic room of radio industry folks and journalists. The Chicago-born singer, songwriter, and producer is here to play tracks from his upcoming album Black Panties, a work that finds the soulful veteran returning to the raunchy, blush-inducing roots of his '90s work. Actually, the man has never sounded more defiantly cocksure. This is shockingly explicit stuff with pearl-clutching titles like "F-ckin' With The Lights On," "Show Ya Pussy" and "Girls Kissing Girls."
"I don't want to leave a fingerprint because it's about to be a murder," Kelly boasts before he launches into the ballsy release. But there is something else happening here. Mr. 12 Play has heard the doubters. To hear him tell it, the music industry has counted him out. Never mind that over the last four years R. Kelly has produced two rich, heart-stirring efforts (2010's Love Letter and 2012's Write Me Back) that found him tapping into the throwback '60s and 70's R&B sounds first introduced to him by his beloved late mother. But when you are channeling Marvin Gaye and late '70s Philly soul, people are quick to bury you in the old school adult contemporary bin. Which explains why Kelly is boldly embracing today's ratchet-or-bust brand of sounds. For a man that has survived gang violence and poverty growing up in the Windy City as well as career-threatening sex tape scandal, Black Panties is a chest-beating shot across the bow to his critics.
"I took some time to sit back and listen to what [other artists] were doing," he later explained of re-connecting with his inner-Dionysus. "I have nothing to prove. But you can't be a leader [without] following the people. I have taken tragedy and somehow turned it into triumph. My story is all of this: sex, money, broke, women, clubs and even church. I'm not afraid of it." So how does that story sound? VIBE gives an early break down of R. Kelly's bawdy Black Panties. Parental advisory? Yep, pretty much.—Keith Murphy (@murphdogg29)
"Poetic Sex"
"The first R&B poem," Kelly sings over a sparse piano rumble. "My music is going to make love to you…" But before you get any ideas that you are listening to a John Legend record Kelly throws out this jaw-dropping line which lets you know Black Panties will be a more X-rated bedroom affair than anything ever conceived on 12 Play. "Put that pussy on my head, that's a fitted cap." Alrighty then.
"Fuck Y'all" (tentative title)
Kelly targets the non-believers, haters, and girls that fronted on him when he was singing for his supper on the Chicago L train on this trap heavy, blackout track. "Now that I'm on, fuck y'all!" he sets off. So how in the world will this very blue mama-I-made-it-anthem get radio airplay? "The remix will be 'Forget Ya'll,'" Kelly jokes.
"You Deserve Better"
This is Black Panties' most overtly romantic song thus far. Kells croons of saving a woman from a hurtful, dysfunctional relationship. "All I want to do is see you happy," he tells his damsel in distress. "You Deserve Better" could have easily fit in with the Chocolate Factory's more heartfelt, measured love songs.

This is Baby Fitz's room. As you can see, nothing is organized. There's a toddler bed in there, which is obviously not for the newborn, we need to transition Bennett to the toddler bed because I refuse to buy another crib. There are boxes and boxes of baby clothes that need to be sorted through and washed. There are baby essentials and accessories buried in here somewhere that I need to get at and look through.
Even though I have been talking and blogging about my pregnancy a lot more lately, I think I am in complete denial about how close I am to my due date. I have about a month. ONE month to get at least a little organized.
Granted, the baby will be sleeping in his cradle in our room for a little while at first... but still.
I was talking to my Husband last night about how I think we are totally in for it when this baby comes.
You know with your first baby, you get prepared all early? Like you have the nursery done, clothes washed and put away, infant seat installed, baby name picked out (or at least have a list handy), hospital bags packed, plans in place. And to be honest, it's in doing those things that gets you mentally prepared for what's to come. I mean, you can never be fully prepared... but you can get close.
Yah I can say that I've done NONE of that preparation. Like... none of it. I feel like holy crap, it just all of the sudden hit me that I will have a BABY in my arms in a few short weeks.
Basically... I need to get my rear in gear. For realz.

Mother worries for missing teen, 14, after school sends child away
UPDATE: Marchelle Washington, 14, is reported safe at home with her family as of Friday morning, Nov. 30.
Twenty-four hours is a long time when you don't where your child is.
"I'm at my wit's end with this," worried mother Shavoner Wilson said. The last time she saw her 14-year-old daughter, Marchelle Washington, was when the teen left for school Tuesday morning, Nov. 27.
By Wednesday night, Nov. 28, Wilson still hadn't seen or heard from her missing child. "This just hurts so bad," Wilson said.
Her daughter's disappearance is even more troublesome the more she searches for the teen, Wilson said, and the more she hears about how the freshman went missing. For starters, information relayed to the mother says the girl was thrust into her journey by Beaumont Independent School District Ozen High School Assistant Principal Clerk Lessie Simien, who allowed the student to leave the school on foot after the administrator called a man that's not a family member to come pick up the student.
"He could have been a child molester or something," Wilson laments, adding that she had never even heard the man's name prior to her daughter's disappearance. "They didn't get in touch with her parents or anything; they just let her go. Now I don't know where she is."
Wilson admits that her daughter is a troubled teen and runaway risk. According to her, that's the exact reason she keeps close tabs on the young girl.
"I watch her like a hawk," Wilson said. "I never let her walk anywhere. She never gets to do anything like this – until Ozen let her do it."
Fourteen-year-old Washington was intent on leaving school Nov. 27. Before lunch, Washington left the campus with another teen girl but was quickly apprehended by the BISD Police Department. The officer brought Washington back to the campus, where the student was reprimanded with a day of out-of-school suspension, starting immediately. Assistant principal clerk Simien attempted to contact Washington's parents, but after calling a number that was disconnected, allowed the truant teen to offer up a separate contact – that of her grown boyfriend she said was a brother.
"She let this kid, who's already in discipline problems, tell her that she didn't live at home anymore, she lived with her brother," Wilson recounted of the events. "She doesn't even have a brother. (Simien) has talked to me before; she should've known better."
When contacted, the man said he left the teen at a nearby park. He hasn't seen her since. He said he was contacted by Simien from Ozen High School but never agreed to pick up Washington from school. Instead, the teen was going to walk off campus and ended up meeting him on a city street.
To make matters worse, Wilson couldn't even report her daughter missing or as a runaway to the Beaumont Police Department, although the BISD Police Department hadn't submitted the child's name into the national database for missing or exploited children. Beaumont Police Department Sgt. Rob Flores confirmed the agency's assistance in such matters.
"(BISD) has a policing agency and they have things they're responsible for doing," Flores said. "That is their jurisdiction, so they have to do their own report and investigation."
Flores said that the Beaumont Police Department, however, is responsible for submitting runaways and missing children to the national database on behalf of the BISD PD. Why that is, Flores couldn't say.
"I can only guess that it's because (the BISD PD) can't do it themselves, but that's a question they'd have to answer," Flores said.
A call to the BISD PD was left unanswered. A question-and-answer page on the BISD PD website insists that the agency can do anything other police departments can do. Still, it wasn't until the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 28 – more than a full day after the teen went on hiatus – that the BISD PD finally reported Washington to the Beaumont Police Department for submission into the national database as a runaway.
Flores said the city police department has no jurisdiction to investigate the matter. Beaumont police put Washington into the database but will offer no assistance in the investigation.
"It'd be the same if the roles were switched," Flores said. "Each agency does their own investigations."
Wilson said "Ozen's negligence" has now caused a bad situation: "They were in such a hurry to let her go that they were willing to let her leave with some random guy. Then they just let her walk right out of there."
BISD spokesman Ron Reynolds said he could not comment on the specifics of a student's activities but did acknowledge that the BISD PD was looking for Wilson's daughter. According to Reynolds, it is still uncertian whether the student was allowed to leave — or whether Washington just took off on her own. "The Beaumont Independent School District is concerned for the safety of all students and staff," Reynolds said. "BISD's police department is taking steps and working with other law enforcement agencies to help ensure the safe return of this student who has been reported missing."
Reynolds said he could offer no further information as to how the student left BISD's supervision. A report filed at the BISD PD at noon Tuesday only states, "The student left Ozen and never went home."
The BISD Student Code of Conduct policy states that in the case of student suspension, "The principal or appropriate administrator shall notify a student's parent by phone or in writing … within three school days after the administrator becomes aware of the violation."
Additionally, the policy states, "Before being suspended a student shall have an informal conference with the appropriate administrator, who shall advise the student of the conduct of which he or she is accused. The student shall be given the opportunity to explain his or her version of the incident before the administrator's decision is made."
No other procedures for forcing a student to leave the campus were expressly outlined.
"She's done stupid things before, but nothing like this," Wilson said of her daughter, fighting back tears. "I don't even know where to begin to look for her."
Wilson said she is going to still keep on trying to get the Beaumont Police Department's help in finding her child.
"Beaumont PD is the only ones going to bring her back here," she said.

In the home stretch to February 14 -- day of roses, chocolates, and merch in the "sexy gag gift" category (edible boxers, pasta shaped like naughty bits, etc.) -- here are five things you need to know about Fundies:
- They're underpants built for two. Yes, really.
- "Fundies" is also sometimes used as slang to refer to religious fundamentalists. We believe the two are unrelated.
- According to the manufacturer, "Half the fun is getting in them. The other half is up to you."
- Apparently, Fundies have been around for 20 years (yet we've only heard of them now. We feel cheated). Which means you might have been conceived as a direct result of a pair of Fundies.
- Fundies retail for $9.99 at ShopinPrivate.com.

x={2+7cos[sinu + sin121u]}cosu pi/2500 < u < 2*pi
The funniest thing is that nobody has tought us about serious programming in any language and they ask us to write code for something like that!
Anyway, I decided to recall my programming memories and knowledge (as much as it can be!) and to try to write a code for it in QBASIC. I have also worked with VBASIC but I don;t know how to draw things on screen! Whereas in QBASIC i use the LINE command to connect two different points and show them directly in the screen.
So, I tried at first to make code that shows the results of a simpler parametric equation such as
y = cos (x)
My problem is that I want to draw each point of (x,y) separately but I dont know which command to use. So I used LINE which draws a line between two points (really!) that are being created in the calculations. The difference between two pairs of (x,y) are very small so the size of the line should be insignificant right? well my screen doesn't agree.
Thats the code I wrote¨
for x = -90 to 89 y = cos(x) x2 = x+1 ' create a second pair due to lack of knowledge of how to design a single point! y2 = cos(x2) SCREEN 1 LINE (x,y) - (x2,y2)
this is supposed to draw the results of y = cos (x)
but the graphics I get are not the way they should.
Sorry for the long post guys, if anybody can help I would appreciate, I can also use Visual Basic if anybody has a proposition to make, thanks!

Histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes modulate gene expression through the deacetylation of lysine residues on histone proteins and act as transcriptional repressors of genes. Based on their role in cell cycling, apoptosis and differentiation, HDACs have been chosen as therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The SensoLyte® 520 HDAC Activity Assay Kit provides a convenient, two-step homogeneous procedure for measuring HDAC activity using a fluorogenic substrate. In the first step, an acetylated substrate is incubated with HDAC containing samples. Deacetylation of substrate sensitizes it, so that, in the second step mixing with the HDAC developer generates a fluorophore, which can then be detected at Ex/Em= 490 nm/520 nm. The substrate included in the kit is cell-permeable, and the assay can be used to measure HDAC activity directly in cell culture in a 96-well plate without a time-consuming cell extraction step. This kit also can be used for high throughput screening of HDAC inhibitors using extracts or purified enzymes.

Wild take only 13 shots but make them count in win over Sharks
The Minnesota Wild gained some momentum heading into a stretch in which they will spend little time at home.
Josh Harding made a season-high 37 saves in another strong home outing, and the Wild beat the San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Sunday night despite recording a season-low 13 shots.
Zach Parise scored twice — once into an empty net — and Mikko Koivu added a goal for the Wild, who have won three of four.
"It was a hard game, and that's a tough team to play against," Parise said. "We were able to hang on and win, so that's important for us."
Patrick Marleau scored with 1:41 left for San Jose, which went 1-3 on a four-game trip. The Sharks, who have lost three in a row in regulation for the first time this season, are 0-5-1 in their last six games in Minnesota.
Antti Niemi made 10 saves.
The Wild plays seven of their next eight away from home. To maintain their standing within the tough Western Conference, they will need to play better than their 5-6-3 road record.
"We don't want to go out and make everything look pretty," forward Matt Cooke said. "We're a team that's going to go out and play responsible, take care of our own end, and capitalize on our opportunities.
"That should suit us well heading on the road."
That was evident late against the Sharks when Minnesota focused on strong play in its own end against a team that was averaging an NHL-best 36 shots per game and scoring 3.34 goals. Minnesota held the Sharks to six third-period shots, after allowing 21 in the second.
"I feel like we got a lot of good practice in our defensive game tonight, and we were sharp," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "They got the one at the end, but I thought we did a really good job in the third period. We were playing tight, we had good layers, and we were tough to come through."
Parise and Koivu scored second-period goals to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead. Parise pushed the Wild's edge back to two goals when he scored at 19:54 of the third period.
"It's always frustrating when you lose," San Jose center Joe Pavelski said. "We did a few of the things we wanted to and it didn't feel like we gave them much. It was competitive, but we didn't find a way."
Harding, who improved to 13-1 at home, is 16-4-3 overall. He lowered his goals-against average to an NHL-best 1.50 and moved into a second-place tie with Niemi and Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury for most wins.
"Whenever you can keep a team like that at bay, you're going to be happy," Harding said. "I always say it, but when we have guys like our captain and the leaders on this team blocking shots like they were, putting their body in front of the puck, it makes everybody want to battle that much harder."
The Wild blocked 18 shots, including three by Koivu and Cooke.
Two days after Sharks coach Todd McLellan questioned his team's energy level following a 5-3 loss in Carolina, San Jose came out more aggressive.
The Sharks got the puck deep in the offensive end and outshot Minnesota 11-5 in the first period. Despite Harding giving up a number of prime rebounds, the Sharks couldn't score.
However, a rebound led to Parise's first goal early in the second period.
With Jason Pominville about to crash into him, Niemi blocked a slap shot from Marco Scandella, but the rebound was picked up by Parise in front. He quickly shifted the puck to his backhand and put a shot into the empty net.
McLellan was adamant that the goal shouldn't have counted.
"I'll be looking for an explanation," he said. "I don't know how the outcome of the game would've gone, who knows what happens if that's disallowed."
Koivu made it 2-0 a little more than four minutes later beating Niemi with a wrist shot on the stick side.
Niemi was pulled for an extra skater with 2:15 to play, and Marleau got the Sharks on the board by squeezing a rebound between Harding and the left post.
NOTES: The teams will meet again Thursday at San Jose. . . . Wild fourth-line center Zenon Konopka returned after sitting as a healthy scratch the previous two games. . . . San Jose RW Marty Havlat was scratched. No reason was given, but he limped off the ice after blocking a shot Friday in Carolina. . . . Minnesota is 14-0-3 when leading after two periods.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- Slowly cutting back on U.S. salt consumption to achieve a 40 percent reduction would save 280,000 to 500,000 lives over 10 years, researchers say.
Lead author Pamela Coxson, a mathematics specialist in the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues used computer simulations and models to project the effects of reducing salt intake by about 5 percent of a teaspoon of salt per day to lower Americans' average intake of 3,600 milligrams per day to about 2,200 milligrams after 10 years.
The researchers projected up to 500,000 lives could be saved in a decade with the slow reduction and up to 850,000 if salt use were to be trimmed back quicker.
Three research groups contributed to the study, each using a different approach for their simulation. One approach used observational cardiovascular outcome follow-up data, while the other two based their projections on established evidence that salt reduction lowers blood pressure.
These two groups inferred the cardiovascular effects of reducing sodium from data about the relationship of blood pressure to cardiovascular disease, the study said.
"The research groups used the same target populations and baseline death rates for each projection, and our study found that the different sources of evidence for the cardiovascular effects of sodium led to similar projected outcomes," Coxson said in a statement.
The findings were published in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension.

We generalize the classical shortest path problem in two ways. We consider two - in general contradicting - objective functions and introduce a time dependency of the cost which is caused by a traversal time on each arc. The resulting problem, called time-dependent bicriteria shortest path problem (TdBiSP) has several interesting practical applications, but has not attained much attention in the literature.

The 25th annual Bangor, Maine, Camping and RV Show scheduled for this weekend at the Bangor Civic Center has been canceled due to lack of interest from vendors, according to Bass Park Director Mike Dyer.
The event, which is organized by Bass Park and Civic Center staff, has been held every year since 1986. Dyer explained, however, that in order to fill the space at the Civic Center, at least three large vendors are needed. This year, only two had committed, according to the Bangor Daily News.
"It actually goes back to last year when dealers lost some of their co-op money (from RV manufacturers) to participate in the show," Dyer said. "Last year, we cut the amount of rental space in half with the thought that something was better than nothing. This year, we were going to proceed that same way, but it didn't happen."
Mike Dalton, vice president of McKay's RV and Marine Center in Holden, said his company was committed to the show — which would have run from Jan. 29 through Jan. 31 — and was disappointed to see it canceled.
"Some dealers don't care, but we always do pretty well at shows," he said. "It's hard to say how much business the show might generate, but it's certainly a good way to show new products. It's not like this is a busy time of year for us."
McKay's has participated in the show since its inception, as has D&M Trailer Sales of Medway.
"It's a good show," said David Guy of D&M. "I'm sure it's helped business."
Webb's RV Center in Bangor has participated in the past but was not interested this year, Dyer said.
In addition to the RV vendors, the Bangor Camping and RV Show has drawn approximately 20 small vendors in past years — mostly area campgrounds, Dyer said.
"Rather than attempting to deliver a subpar show, with fewer options for the show attendees, management has opted to take a year off," Dyer said in a statement on Bass Park's website. "It is our intention to come back in 2011 in an improved economy, stronger than ever."
All vendors have been notified and will receive refunds, Dyer said. The event was never a huge moneymaker for the Bangor Civic Center, but Dyer said, "We always made something on it."
Dalton, meanwhile, said his company likely will take the money it spent participating in the Bangor event and use it on other forms of advertisement.
Both Dalton and Guy said they would be more than happy to return in 2011.

MEMS New Product Development
What do you think of when I say the words "MEMS new product development?" Do you envision new categories of newly discovered MEMS hatching somewhere in a university lab? If your answer is "yes,", perhaps you should rethink that– because MEMS isn't new. If we are to grow this $9 billion/year industry to a hundred-billion or even trillion dollar industry as some predict, we need to think of new MEMS in terms of how the "regular, everyday" MEMS we have right now are used in development of new end products. Whether these new MEMS-enabled products come from a combination of market pull and/or technology push, there are challenges and hurdles that the industry must come together to address. NOW.
That is why we focused the MEMS Industry Group (MIG) Member-to-Member (M2M) Forum on MEMS "New Product Development" earlier this month. Because it is so time-critical for the MEMS industry to come together and address these barriers and challenges to commercialization that are hindering our growth. Barriers that I like to call the "stickiness of MEMS" which include the "S" word of MEMS "Standards" for things such as testing, packaging…not the sexy, shiny, bright things that are hatched in the lab and then probably never make it to the market.
That is why I invited Len Sheynblat of Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT) to give the keynote "Sensor Systems Integration Challenges," which spelled out in very specific terms what the MEMS industry needs to do – specifically – Sensor API Standardization. He shared QCT's commonly requested sensor vendors: 18+!! With 26+ sensor product lines! And on top of it – there are numerous handset and tablet OEMS with different ecosystems = Android, Windows, RIM (which used to be Palm), etc. They all want to be loved, and this makes developing with MEMS just a smidge complex.
Sounds a bit nightmarish, don't you think? I sure do… and MIG will be working with our members and strategic partners, including the MIPI Alliance, to address these challenges and issues of the stickiness of MEMS. I urge you to contact me and become active and involved in our M2M Action Item Task Forces.
That's also why the MIG Technology Advisory Committee (MIG TAC) chose Mary Ann Maher, CEO of SoftMEMS, as the winner of our first-ever white paper competition, because she discussed the important issue of co-design and yes, standards. And because Mary Ann was the evening speaker, she also made the presentation into a drinking game. (Every time she said "co-design" you were to take a sip; I gave up after the 15th time.)
And as we have every year, since MIG began with DARPA funding, we also had working groups to dive deeper into the conference topic. Our working group leaders (Jim Knutti of Acuity, Mike Mignardi of TI, Jason Tauscher of MicroVision and Valerie Marty of HP) did a fantastic job of moderating the rich discussions we had in the working group breakout groups on "Market Pull vs. Technology Push" and "MEMS Technology Development." I encourage you to check out the MIG resource library to see the body of knowledge and case studies we've gathered; and MIG action item task forces will be forming soon to carry out several of the recommendations.
M2M Forum also featured a panel of speakers expressing diverse opinions and perspectives on new product commercialization—from those involved heavily and not so heavily with MEMS. The panel included: Anne Schneiderman of Harris Beach, an expert in IP law; Stefan Finkbeiner, a MEMS device manufacturer veteran with Bosch/Akustica; Matt Apanius with SMART Commercialization Center for Microsystems, who is well versed in tech transfer from lab to fab; and Ivo Stivoric with BodyMedia, someone who embodies a MEMS supplier's dream of an end-user company.
My favorite part of the panel was when Ivo described the challenges in understanding/analyzing the "white space in the market." He warned that as a consumer of MEMS, he oftentimes doesn't need a new device; he just needs a tweak or two and then wants the device manufacturer to "just go away" so he can go back to his customers. Amen, brother. I want that for you, too. Because the truth is that MEMS isn't new, and so we need to find the solutions to these challenges to commercialization, and then move on to conquer the other white space in the market.
