Debian GNU/Hurd can now be installed a little easier. "This month Philip Charles created a new installation CD, the L series, for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing stuff, please give it a try."

So part of my storage series, is of course storing and organizing my all-time favorite….lipsticks! Check out the video above to see it in action. If you have been a long time reader of my blog from way back in the day, you'll remember I used to store my lipsticks using a few acrylic lipstick holders and a clear storage case with clear dividers: CLICK HERE and HERE to see my older posts on these lipstick holders.
I eventually ran out of space and invested in a 60 tube lipstick holder with a tester row from http://www.azardisplays.com (which I will be using to hold my most frequently used lipsticks so it's easy to reach for). This particular lipstick holder is $12.50 on the actual site, it's also available on eBay, but there are a few sellers that are charging double with shipping (almost $40!), and I only paid like $24.80 total including tax and shipping buying it straight from the site. I love that it stores all my lipsticks, and I even had room to store my NYX Round Lipsticks, as well as other lippies from Avon, Revlon, etc.
It fits many brands, even fat lipstick tubes like my Avon one fit perfectly. It even held my lipglosses nicely. You can even store MAC lipsticks that are still IN the box (such as backups you bought) in this holder and it still fits!
It is not completely flat at the bottom, so if you are looking for something completely flat, then I suggest getting lipstick holders that are similar to my older lippie storages, the tiered acrylic holders, because the tester row is designed to hang off of a bathroom counter, table, or a vanity. You can still place them on a table top if you can't hang them off the edge of something, it will just be slanted but it's still sturdy, so if you don't mind that it slants on a flat surface, it works just as a great.
Because these have a deeper well than my old one, I am able to store them upside down without them wobbling around (since MAC lipsticks have a rounded top they move around when stored upside down), and it allows me to easily see the lipstick shades. It even fits my MAC backups that are still in boxes!

This new video shows how SEXTANTE algorithms can run in the ArcGIS Model Builder. The model is a very simple one, but executes a SAGA algorithm (convergence index) and a native SEXTANTE one (Histogram). Since the result is a histogram chart, it has to be viewed using the SEXTANTE results window, which is now available from an add-in that I developed, which adds a button to open it.

Hello! This combination is a "killer". But I don't see/know how to do that in order to have all the Sextante algorithms in ArcGIS.
Need help! :)

Hi, this is really exciting feature. What is the plan to release this? Is it for ArcGIS 10 or 9.3.1?
- 5:25 p. m.
- volaya dijo...
Works in both 9.3.1 and 10, but in 9.3.1 you need the ArcGIS Engine Java, which must be purchased separately. We got an EDN licence directly from ESRI, since they were giving it for free at the last FOSS4G conference in Barcelona. Otherwise, it is a separate commercial product from ESRI. Version 10 comes with the Java engine incorporated, so there is no need to get any extra product

text: Russia Publishes Draft Procedure for Bilateral APAs Tax Alert Share this 6 APR 2017 By: Joel Cooper Randall Fox Ruslan Vasutin On 17 March 2017 the Ministry of Finance of Russia (MoF) posted a draft order on the procedure for conclusion of bilateral advance pricing agreements (APAs) with the authorised bodies of foreign states. This draft order fills in a legal gap in Russian administration of transfer pricing rules and treaty obligations with foreign states. Although conclusion of APAs is generally provided for in the Russian Tax Code (specifically by item 2 of Article 105.20 of the Russian Tax Code) for major taxpayers since 2012, it is only through this draft order that the procedure for conclusion of bilateral APAs has been established. Key Features Under the draft order, it has been clarified that taxpayers will be able to request for the conclusion of bilateral APAs on transfer pricing matter with states that have effective double tax treaties with the Russian Federation. In fact, APAs can be concluded by Russia with one or more competent authorities of foreign states at the same time i.e. on a multilateral basis. According to the proposed draft, APA applications shall commence with an optional (but advisable) preliminary negotiation stage (pre-filing), which allows tax authorities to weigh the prospects of a successful conclusion of the APA. The pre-filing discussion shall be held within three months from the date when the Federal Tax Service of Russia (FTS) receives an application from the Russian taxpayer. For the purposes of preliminary negotiations the FTS may consult with local representatives of the competent authority of the foreign state, if necessary. The results of these preliminary negotiations are not binding; they just allow the taxpayer to have a general understanding of whether the authorised bodies are willing to negotiate so the taxpayer is able to assess the likelihood of success. Technically, the procedure for bilateral APAs is initiated by submitting a formal application in the prescribed form, together with all the necessary documents. MoF has drawn up a recommended list of necessary documents that taxpayers need to provide. In addition to the general information on the group companies, controlled transactions, and financial performance the documents that have to be submitted shall contain information on the outcome of the application of the proposed pricing method, using as an example the most recent three years for which factual information is available. During the application review stage FTS will assess whether the proposed pricing method and the other assumptions and circumstances vital for conclusion of a particular APA are reasonable; specifically, whether the APA contributes to eliminating double taxation and whether there is a risk that the taxpayer would gain an "unjustified tax benefit". Based on the results of the application review FTS may decide either To refuse to initiate the APA negotiations To require the draft APA agreement to be amended To notify the taxpayer that negotiations with the competent authority of the foreign state has commenced The competent authorities involved may communicate subsequently during the stage of negotiations. The communication between competent authorities can be either in writing or in person. If the competent authorities reach mutual agreement on a particular APA, the agreement shall be formalized by a written document. Based on the results of negotiations with the competent authorities of the foreign state, FTS shall make one of the following decisions: To conclude the bilateral APA as agreed with the competent authorities of the foreign state To amend the draft APA, subject to the provisions of mutual agreement between the competent authorities To refuse conclusion of the APA if mutual agreement with the competent authorities of the foreign state is unreachable - in this case the taxpayer has the option to enter into an agreement with FTS on a unilateral basis The decision shall be made by FTS within six months, with an option for FTS to extend this deadline to nine months, from the date of filing of the application by the Russian taxpayer. The taxpayer may be actively involved in the review of its own APA application through discussions that may be initiated both by FTS and by the taxpayer. Moreover, in extraordinary circumstances, provided that the standard procedures set out in the draft order are followed, the taxpayer may participate in the negotiations directly or it may be provided with information on the progress of negotiations between the competent authorities. Comments Since 2012, the authorised body in Russia has received 82 draft APA agreements and concluded 25 of those on a unilateral basis (i.e. an agreement between FTS and the Russian taxpayer) with may major Russian taxpayers including OAO Gazpromneft, OAO NK Rosneft, PAO Aeroflot and AO DONAVIA. There has been debate since then whether bilateral APAs can already be initiated in Russia based on the mutual agreement procedure (MAP) under an applicable tax treaty. The new procedures set out in the draft order confirmed this possibility, in line with international standards. The draft order also provides some useful guidelines for foreign taxpayers with Russian operations looking to conclude APAs with FTS. The proposed procedure for conclusion of bilateral/multilateral APAs has been released for consultation and review in a draft form, and therefore may be amended subsequently. However, this version can be a reference point for taxpayers interested in concluding APAs with FTS in Russia. It is important to stress that, under the proposed draft, FTS will not enter into APA negotiations unless it has received an application filed by the Russian taxpayer involved in the cross-border transactions. For example, it seems that FTS will not enter into negotiations with the competent authorities of a foreign state in situations where the foreign counterpart involved in the transactions initiated an application with the competent authority of the foreign state. To engage with FTS, a corresponding application has to be filed by the Russian taxpayer. We also note that the draft note contains a practical obstacle, as FTS has to make an assessment concerning 'unjustified tax benefit' when processing the APA applications. The concept of 'unjustified tax benefit' in the application review stage will pose a significant practical concern to many taxpayers, as it is a subjective area that is based around domestic anti-abuse concepts in Russia. Needless to say, in support of an APA application, a careful assessment around facts and circumstances should be made in order to demonstrate to the FTS that the transactions related to the APA application contain no unjustified tax benefit. Overall, this draft order represents a positive step in the development of Russian transfer pricing practice. Bilateral APAs are increasingly being sought by taxpayers looking to obtain certainty over their transfer pricing policies, particularly in the current international tax environment.

Lovell's Montreal Directories Online
Yup, it has been a while, hasn't it? But, I'm so excited about this resource, I just had to make the time to tell you about it too.
(With special thanks to Global Genealogy for their Global Gazette, & Gordon Watts for writing about it there)
The Bibliothèque et Archives Nationale du Quebec has put the Lovell's directories for Montreal online as pdfs. The are not searchable by name, but if you have a particular research date, you can look at the pages of the directory to see if your ancestor is included. The directories begin in 1842, and with the exception of 1851, are available in their entirety until 1950. 1951-1999 is in progress. While the instructions on how to use the directories are in French, the directories themselves are in English.
Unlike Gordon, I do have ancestors from Montreal. My maternal Great-Grandmother was baptised in 1865 at La basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal, and I was extremely excited to find her father listed, Onésime Delisle, on Rue St-Urbain, within walking distance of the Basilica. I also found a number of other relatives across the various years. Time for a visit to Montreal to take a look at where they all used to live.

The event will feature live and silent auctions, during which guest can bid on experiences like a week sailing on a private luxury yacht and watching the Padres from the dugout seats at Petco Park. The evening also includes dancing and live music performed by Jocko and the Rockets.
This year, an anonymous donor will match all contributions from new donors and any increase in contributions from existing donors up to $500,000. The deadline to double donations is June 30.
At its first fundraiser in 1953, Makua raised about $1,500. Since 2004, Makua has raised more than $1 million to support Voices for Children.
Voices for Children provides foster children with trained advocates who help investigate legal issues, make recommendations about the living placements for a foster child, ensure the child's progress and success, and facilitate communications with all involved parties in a foster-care case.
The goal of this year's fundraiser is to provide 400 foster children with CASA volunteers and assess cases for 1,200 children waiting for their own advocates. The program's ultimate goal is to provide a CASA to every child in the foster-care system who needs one.
Makua event co-chairwoman and Voices for Children Board liaison Cindy Garrett said in a statement that the program benefits the entire community.
"… It affects each and every one of us, because CASAs guide these children to become successful, productive adults who no longer are destined to repeat the mistakes of their abusive parents and caregivers," Garrett said. "Studies conclude that for every dollar spent on prevention today, seven dollars are returned to the public by not having to pay for welfare, MediCal, police, prison and remedial education services in the future."
Event organizers expect this anniversary fundraiser to sell out early. To become a Makua member, contact the membership director at email@example.com.

Magnatune is the non-evil record label who gives away 128 kbps mp3s of all their artist's songs for free. You can then choose (or not) to purchase DRM-free higher quality versions at a price you set and they allow you to share their purchased songs with 3 friends. The label splits revenues 50/50 with their (carefully picked) signed artists, while these artists keep all of the rights to their music with a non-exclusive contract. Today, we are very happy to feature an interview with John Buckman, the founder and owner of Magnatune, to help us understand better their revolutionary business model.

A Jerusalem Post columnist has said she has been targeted for vicious anti-Semitic mail from Ireland after writing about anti-Jewish comments she heard in County Kerry.
Sarah Hoenig was on a visit to Cahirsiveen in Kerry when she met school boys collecting for Palestinian rights on behalf of the Third World agency Trocaire.
She wrote that they told her they hated Jews, that they had killed Jesus and that their fundraising for Palestine was endorsed by the local school.
She described meeting the three young boys collecting for Palestine with a banner that said 'Free Palestine.' She asked "Free Palestine from whom?"
She wrote "The... trio's swift answer was unambiguous: "The Jews."
I pressed on: "Do you know where your money would go? "The boys: "To plant olive trees."
"Are you sure," I continued, as kindly-looking little old ladies generously opened their purses and dropped coins and bills in the collection box, "that this money wouldn't fund terrorists and murderers?"
Their retort threw me for a loop: "What do you have against Palestinians? What have they done to you? They are only against Jews. Jews are evil."
She now claims she has been a target of vicious anti-Semitic mail from Ireland as a result of her column.
She told the Irish Independent that Irish people need to "realize the sentiments that run rampant in segments of their communities."
She said she had received hundreds of pieces of hate mail.
The Independent stated she traced one of the emails sent to her to an IP address in Lusk, Co Dublin.
"The author, who calls himself 'Charles', writes: "Your (sic) a bag of filth. I just read about your recent escapades in Cahersiveen, I just wish the Nazi's (sic) were still around to deal with scum like you."
The principal of the school, John O'Connor, has denied her claims and said the boys never used the language she said they did..
Ms Honig stated she was "deeply saddened" at the "lack of comprehension" about Israel in Ireland.
"Clearly, I don't label the Irish or residents of Cahersiveen as anti-Semites. I call them 'very decent folks' and I call the indecency I encountered 'unwitting'," she told the Irish Independent.
"It was certainly not to tar Cahersiveen residents as anti-Semitic."

Negredo wants Premier League move
Sevilla striker Alvaro Negredo has fuelled speculation linking him with a Premier League move by revealing it is his ambition to play there.
The Spain international has previously been linked with a host of top-flight clubs including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. Everton were thought to have shown interest in January.
Reports suggest financially-stricken Sevilla could look to offload him as they seek to lower their wage bill.
Negredo, who joined Sevilla from Almeria in 2009, claims the club received offers for him in the winter transfer window but says it was not the right time to leave.
The 27-year-old, contracted at the Primera Liga side until 2016, hopes to join the Premier League when the moment is right.
"I have always said it, I have never hidden it," he told Estadio Deportivo. "It is a league that I like.
"I do not know if it will be soon, or maybe further down the road, or tomorrow, but I will play there.
"The president (Jose Maria del Nido) received some offers, but he did not accept them. Nobody said anything directly to me, and it was not the right moment to leave.
"I do not know what will happen in the future. It depends on what the club wants and what it needs."

ROCCAT Kulo 7.1 USB Headset Review
Are you tired of your roommate gaming late into the night or during your quiet study hours? Perhaps it is time to get him or her a headset to keep them out of your hair, or better yet, invest in one for yourself to block the noise. Perhaps your roommate is the one frustrated with you! Either way, if you don't already have a headset perhaps now is the time to take a look at the market. There is nothing more convenient than communicating in-game without the obnoxious push-to-chat option enabled. To be honest, I find it extremely irritating when people think it is acceptable to chat with their speakers blaring in the background.
Now that I have made it obvious why you need a headset let me introduce the one up for review. ROCCAT has had a lot of new products released for US purchase recently after being founded in Germany back in 2007. One of its newest products available over at Newegg.com is the ROCCAT Kulo Virtual 7.1 Gaming Headset. The key here is the "virtual" tag in the product name. As it turns out, the 7.1 is a function of a stereo output rerouted through an included USB sound card. Thus it is not true 7.1 quality but perhaps it is still a great headset. Let's take a gander at how the Kulo Headset looks and also listen to the beauty that comes from those earmuffs.
Closer Look:
Taking the retail packaging out of the standard brown shipping box reveals some of ROCCAT's impressive packaging. I am lucky to have seen a few of ROCCAT's other products in original packaging and it is clear there is a department dedicated to packaging science. The key features that grab my attention first are "for music + gaming", "noise-canceling", and the shiny silver sticker announcing the headset's claim to fame, the "virtual 7.1 sound card". As a student, I look forward to the noise canceling feature as a way to escape from the hectic bustling going on around the house. Also, it is always nice to see a multipurpose function for both music and gaming. Although most headsets can perform well in both aspects, a lot of them designed for gaming tend to make music sound not so pretty.
The top of the box provides a glimpse of the upper portion of the headset; the lovely padding that will be perched on your head. The metal reinforcement is clearly visible and looks pretty rugged overall. The key features from the front of the package are re-announced along with the addition of an inline volume control. A couple profiles of the headset are shown as well as a depiction of the 7.1 PLUG&PLAY USB soundcard.
Turning the box around, a more revealing picture of the headphones is given in a high level of detail. There appears to be a soft, squishy part to rest on your head, a fully adjustable microphone arm, 3.5 mm headphone and microphone jacks, and ear pads that appear to be made of the same material as the head cushion.
The side of the box shows different angles of the same features we already discussed. A close-up of the inline volume control is shown as well as an added microphone secret . Alright maybe it's not a secret, but it was not mentioned anywhere else on the box. Swiveling the microphone boom vertically next to your ear automatically mutes the microphone! Now when you have to run for a bathroom break or eat some loud candy during the game you can push your microphone up and not sound like a pig while you chow down.
Taking a sneak peek into the contents of the box reveals some useful materials. Included is a nice quick start guide to using the headphones along with a quick note in 16 different languages reminding you that "...To experience virtual 7.1 surround sound please download the latest driver at www.roccat.org". Needless to say you will need the internet, or at least a friend with the internet, to fully enjoy this headset. The USB soundcard is small enough that it will not be too obtrusive to hang off the front or back of your case. Also included is what appears to be a credit card but is actually the ROCCAT ID card for your product. Simply put, it provides an identification number that allows you to register for ROCCAT WORLD, the company's own online community and support site.
Finally the moment you've been waiting for: the headset is out of the box...almost. Tightly packaged like all those toys from when you were a kid, the headset comes securely twist-tied to a plastic shell hiding the cables behind it. Luckily, unlike the best toy at Christmas leaving you waiting to play, no scissors are required here. A few twists is all it takes and the headphones are yours!

FAYETTEVILLE BJ Young scored 19 points and Arkansas beat Delaware State 86-51 Saturday at Bud Walton Arena.
The Hornets stormed out to an 8-4 lead, but failed to make a shot in the next seven minutes as Arkansas took control of the game.
The Razorbacks outscored Delaware State 39-10 over the final 15:33 of the first half and led 43-18 at halftime.
Mike Anderson - Delaware State PostgameWatch Video
Arkansas scored 23 points off of 16 Delaware State turnovers. The Razorbacks also out-rebounded the Hornets 31-26, even though Coty Clarke, the team's second-leading rebounder, did not play because of a family emergency.
Forward Michael Qualls filled in for the junior by contributing seven points and five rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench. Fellow freshman reserve Anthlon Bell added 12 points, hitting 4 of 6 attempts from beyond the arc.
Young made 8 of 9 shot attempts in the game to lead the Razorbacks, which shot 58.2 percent from the field and 80 percent at the free throw line as a team.
Delaware State (6-9) shot just 38.3 percent.

Whitney Kiihnl and Ali Watson combined for the shutout. The Lady Bisons are one short of tying the program record of 17 set last season.
It was the fifth straight win for the Lady Bisons.
"There wasn't a lot going on early on," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "We finally put together some things mid-way through. We put it all together at the right time."
Watson pitched one inning in relief in the seventh and did not allow a hit or a run. Kiihnl threw the first six innings. She gave up two hits, walked three and struck out 10.
"Whitney threw a great game, but we had an opportunity to get Ali in against a good hitting team," Ryman said. "We wanted to put her in that situation and see how she would respond. She came in and got three good outs to win the game. That is what we need from her."
The Lady Bisons scored three runs in the fourth inning and one in the fifth.
To open the fourth Abby Keese hit a hard ground ball to second and was out at first. But she set a tone for the team. Kellie Sirus doubled to right center. Courtney Billington reached base on an error. Christen Campbell singled to left to score Sirus. Mollie Mitchell singled through the left side to score Billington. Bree Thurman grounded out to second base, but moved the runners. Kiihnl singled up the middle to bring in Campbell.
With two outs in the fifth Sirus walked. She scored on a single by Campbell.
Campbell led the Lady Bisons with two hits and two runs batted in. Sirus had the only multiple base hit with a double. She also scored twice. The Lady Bisons finished with eight hits.
"The bottom half of our lineup really did a lot of good things," Ryman said. "It was kind of spread out. Everybody did a little bit to help us win.
"I thought Western played a good game against us. They made some outstanding defensive plays against us. We could have had more hits than we had but they made some great plays to keep themselves in it."
Kiihnl earned the win and is 17-2 for the season. She entered the week ranked first in the NCAA in hits allowed per seven innings (1.97). She is seventh nationally in earned run average (0.76), 12th in wins and 14th in strikeouts per seven innings (11.0).
The Lady Bisons, 25-7, 4-0 in the Atlantic Sun Conference, will spend the rest of the week preparing for a weekend trip Florida where they will face Jacksonville Friday and North Florida Saturday in Atlantic Sun play.

Round 4 of this years ETS series took place this past weekend in Poznan Poland at one of the countries biggest motor shows, which had previously drawn close to 50,000 visitors. In practice I started out with my setup from the LRP race 2 weeks ago which felt good right from the off. As the traction built up during the day all I changed was to switch to thinner front oil to help tone down the aggressive feel on the high speed layout.
Qualifying was a bit up and down for me while I was chasing the ever changing traction. Q1 I had a 10th place finish after a mistake at the beginning of the run. Q2 I finished 5th in round with a clean smooth run. By the end of qualifying I had further improved my TC-XX by shortening the rear camber link and thinning out the diff oil a little, finished up 4th in the final run and one of only 4 drivers making 24 laps, just 1.5 sec off TQ for the round. So with a 4th and 5th counting I would line up 7th on the grid. Sometimes finals just don't go your own way and these 3 were some of the worst I've ever driven in. In finals 1 and 2 I was taken out whilst driving mid pack and had to be marshaled. In the 3rd final my car was pretty awesome again but unfortunately traction rolled while battling for 5th and I dropped down the order, eventually finishing a disappointing 9th overall. Now, it's on to the outdoor season and preparations for the Worlds!

The Return of Wally Crankset
He'd always been a schemer. Wally had a brand-new plan to "save America from the clutches of multi-national oil companies, wacko environmentalists, and 'furriners'". For Wally, 'furriners' included anyone north of Kansas and east of the Mississippi. Some people described him as quaintly provincial, but those of us who knew him well simply said he was barking mad.
The latest scheme would revolutionize travel and, by the happiest of coincidences, make Wally a very rich man indeed. He described it as a power-assisted bicycle that would be capable of interstate speeds.
"Wally", I said, "That's a motorcycle. We already have lots of them."
"This is BETTER!" he insisted. "Motorcycles are big and heavy by comparison, and they use too much fuel. My idea is something more like a bicycle, but with a specialized motor attached."
"That's a moped."
"No, no, no! It's NOT a moped. It's faster than a moped but it won't require a license like a motorcycle!"
I considered this with some trepidation. The last time Wally persuaded me that one of his schemes wouldn't require licensing, Broken Elbow was over-run by agents from the FCC and the FAA after one of his electronic devices re-routed air traffic over much of the central US. He claimed it was just a misunderstanding, but he rapidly decamped for Mexico anyway. This lead to further misunderstandings and some animosity because the device was sitting in MY garage.
He explained that this new idea involved a conventional gasoline engine that would drive the rear wheel via a belt or chain. "Just like a moped!", I exclaimed. He glared, but went on to illustrate the genius of his new idea, a second, smaller motor from a leaf blower that would put pressurized air into the main motor and provide additional cooling. The main motor would be under the 50cc limit, making it a motorized bicycle in the eyes of the law.
I allowed that it was nutty, but it might work.
"It might work?" he yelled. "It does work! I've already built it and it's in the back of my van. I've ridden it around the neighborhood a few times, but now I want to try it out on the open road, and I need your help."
We walked out to the van. I was anxious to see his creation, but in the pit of my stomach, something churned over and over. I'd felt this before when Wally presented one of his schemes, and although it seemed like butterflies of excitement, these butterflies had lead wings, crushing hangovers, and generally bad attitudes. Some of them carried knives. The rest smoked cigarettes and used my gut as an ashtray.
Wally's contraption was better than I'd imagined. He'd worked out a double cable mechanism to control both throttles from a single hand control. A nicely crafted sheet metal shroud encased the main drive motor, and I could see the stamping had a bulge for the intake. The shroud connected to what Wally referred to as the 'turbo' motor with a short piece of Plexiglas tubing. All this sat atop the rear wheel of an old racing bicycle. Wally had the sense to replace the racing tires with some stouter ones. They looked to be about 32mm, and the bike had good brakes with fresh brake pads. It was a single speed conversion and still retained the dropped handlebars.
Since he was determined to ride this thing at speed, I asked if he had a full-face helmet, preferably one lined with a thick layer of aluminum foil.
"Do you think it would help?" he asked earnestly. On second thought, maybe I needed a tin-foil hat, if only to avoid being sucked into another of his schemes.
"I want to take this out on the road and open her up!" Wally yelled as he primed the motors and pulled the starting cords. An ungodly wail split the air. Dogs howled all over the neighborhood. I could only squint, but closing my eyes didn't help to reduce the din. "Follow me in the van in case I break down!"
"But Wally...." It was too late. He'd already cracked the throttle, setting off another round of pitiful howls from the dogs. I started down the hill in the van. He was waiting at the four-lane, where he turned and headed toward the interstate! This was definitely not good.
Sure enough, Wally turned up the ramp onto the highway, opened the throttle, and rapidly pulled away from me. I could only think that the combination of two motors, a lightweight bike and an aero position aided considerably in attaining higher speeds. In fact, Wally shot out onto the road, passed several cars, and continued to accelerate! The bike was a rocket! I began to wonder about the speed rating of bicycle tires.
He topped out at around 85 mph after a mile or so. The bike ran smoothly and Wally didn't have any obvious control problems. Then just short of the 96th Street overpass, there were a couple little puffs of smoke. The engine coughed and caught fire! But it didn't slow down. Wally was twisting the throttle closed, obviously beginning to panic, but twisting the throttle had no effect.
The cops had a speed trap set up at 96th Street that day. I spotted the flashing lights closing rapidly in the rear view mirror. Naturally, I slowed down to let them by, then took the next off ramp. Wally continued on north toward Kansas, trailing a plume of fire and smoke, as well as several police cars with lights and sirens blaring.
I put Wally's van in the garage and threw a tarp over it. Then I turned out all the lights and sat in the darkened house, listening to the telephone ring now and then. I wouldn't answer it. The cops arrived on my doorstep, but found a dark house with no one to answer the doorbell. They went away. I figured Wally didn't make it to Mexico this time, and I'm NOT going down to the police station to bail him out!

One of Harold Lloyd's best feature-length comedies, The Freshman, features the bespectacled regular guy as Harold Lamb, a naïve young man who heads off to college believing campus life will be just as it is in the movies; he even learns a little dance he saw one of his favorite actors do in a film.
However, Harold soon discovers that real life isn't all that much like the pictures, and he quickly becomes the laughing stock of the university. Determined to prove himself, Harold tries out for the football team, but he serves as water boy and rides the pine until he finally gets a chance to redeem himself at the big game.
Along the way, Harold also tries to woo a lovely co-ed, Peggy (Jobyna Ralston). 22 years later, writer/director Preston Sturges used the climactic football game as the opening for his collaboration with Harold Lloyd, The Sin of Harold Diddlebock.

WICHITA, KS --One of two south-central Kansas brothers whose drug-fueled celebration of a winning $75,000 in the lottery resulted in an explosion in their duplex has been released from a hospital.
The Wichita man suffered second-degree burns to his hands, arms and chest Friday night after he refueled butane torches that he and his brother planned to use to smoke drugs.
A woman at Via Christi St. Francis Hospital on Monday said the burn victim had been released, but she didn't have further details.
The other brother told police Friday they had purchased marijuana and methamphetamine to celebrate their lottery win.
He was arrested, but details about charges were not available Monday because of the President's Day holiday.

Suns 99, Jazz 84
The Phoenix Suns took advantage of playing with a lead for most
of the game against the Utah Jazz.
Jared Dudley had a season-high 22 points and the Suns had a lead
most of the way in a 99-84 victory over the Jazz 99-84 on
"It's so much easier when you're playing downhill rather than
uphill," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said.
The Suns had trailed by double digits in all but one of their
prior 11 home games and in 19 of 23 overall, but that wasn't an
issue against Utah.
After falling behind early, the Suns took a 20-18 lead on a
reverse layup by Dudley with 4:26 left in the first quarter and
never looked back.
"We got a lot of turnovers and long rebounds," Dudley said.
"When you are not taking the ball from out of bounds you can run a
little bit more. I thought we had more of an aggressive
Gentry has talked before recent games of the Suns' need to move
the ball, given the significantly higher percentage his team shoots
when there are multiple passes before a shot.
In the first half against the Jazz, Phoenix had 16 assists on 22
baskets and finished the game with 23 assists on 38.
"That tells me we were moving the basketball and doing the
right thing," Gentry said. "We are not playing isolation."
Goran Dragic added 17 points and five assists for the Suns, who
have won consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 21-23.
Phoenix has yet to win three straight this season.
Al Jefferson, who had 27 points and 14 rebounds in the teams'
first meeting, was held to 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Jazz,
who had their four-game winning streak snapped.
"We had opportunities to come back but we could just never get
over the hump because they had their confidence going," Jazz coach
Tyrone Corbin said. "They ran hard and cut hard and ran harder
than we did."
Paul Millsap added 12 points for Utah, which was held below 90
points for just the second time in its past 13 games.
The Jazz cut a 12-point deficit entering the fourth quarter to
seven at 79-72 on Derrick Favors' 8-foot jumper with 10:23
But Phoenix went on an 18-4 run and cruised to the victory.
"I don't think their defense is that great, to be honest with
you," Millsap said. "I feel like we didn't execute as well as
we're supposed to. We had some open looks that didn't go down and
our offense was just real stagnant."
Phoenix scored a season-best 34 first-quarter points and took a
12-point lead after the first and stretched its lead to as many as
20 at 56-36 on a layup by Dudley with 3:34 left in the first
But the momentum disappeared over the next several minutes. Utah
held Phoenix without a field goal over the remainder of the first
half and cut the lead to 56-42 at halftime.
Four different Jazz players scored during a 7-1 run over the
middle three minutes of the third quarter, capped by a driving
layup by Millsap to pull Utah within 65-61.
"We got a little disorganized and had a couple of bad
possessions, but then we got right back into it and did a good
job," Gentry said.
Dudley hit a 3-pointer with 3:48 to go in the third quarter to
put the Suns back in front by seven and Phoenix led 77-65 after
After Favors brought the Jazz back within seven, the Suns took
control. Favors was called for a technical foul, Corbin was also
whistled for a technical less than a minute later, and P.J. Tucker
made a key steal and subsequent layup as Phoenix took an 85-72
"We play well against good teams and we demonstrated this in
the last two games," Dragic said. "If we can defend well and
rebound then we can run."
NOTES: Utah entered the game sixth in the NBA in fast-break
scoring, but was outscored 19-7. Phoenix also led 48-42 in points
in the paint. … The Jazz have not won consecutive games against
the Suns since a three-game winning streak from March 2009 to March
2010. … Utah fell to 4-10 on the road.

Seth Meyers off 'Saturday Night Live' for new job
February 2, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — Seth Meyers has departed "Saturday Night Live," just weeks before he begins his new job as host of "Late Night."
Meyers co-anchored "Weekend Update" on the NBC sketch-comedy series for eight seasons and was joined for his farewell newscast by "SNL" alumni Amy Poehler, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen.
They told Meyers they had come to take him "to the other side."
Meyers called his "SNL" tenure "the job I always wanted." He joined the cast in 2001.
He'll take over at NBC's "Late Night" on Feb. 24.
"SNL" head writer Colin Jost will replace Meyers at the "Weekend Update" anchor desk alongside Cecily Strong. He signs on March 1.

Persistence of Vision Preview
I've written previously about Kevin Schreck's documentary on the making of The Cobbler and the Thief, Dick Williams' ill-fated feature. Above is more preview footage of the finished documentary that is making the rounds at festivals. If you're interested in finding out where it will show, you can check the film's Facebook page.
(I really wish that Schreck would identify the people on screen in these clips. I'm sure that they'll be identified in the final product, but I'm frustrated not knowing who I'm looking at. That's Greg Duffell at the 25 second mark, but I have no idea who else is on screen.)

In order of appearance:
Julianna Franchetti, animator
Brent Odell, animator
Chris Knott, special effects artist

In the photographs, beside Mr. Williams, is Kaj Pindal, who does not appear onscreen as an interviewee, but did very generously contribute resources and insights to the project.

No mailing list at the moment, but if you 'like' the Facebook page, you'll get the most up-to-date news on the project:
- September 07, 2012 9:44 AM
Can't wait. The film itself (and I've seen every version, including the so-called "original" version, with Williams in the room) is a beautiful mess. Lack of character is the thing that holds it back most. Lots of pretty things moving around a lot gets boring REAL fast-exemplified by this "mammoth ego trip."
All said, I'd admit I'd rather watch Williams's train crash than what became of it. And of course, he has no one to blame but himself.

- Biography
- There is so, so, so much in our lives that we can never describe – experiences and workings beyond our cognition. There's a whole second universe awaiting us out there, waiting for us to sit down our pencils and lay down our books, and experience. It's fun few have ever had, and it can only be known by being done.
This is why it saddens me so much when this God-like gift of an existence we have is bound up by man into the confines of the letter, or by the play of a script. There's more out there, so much more, and I can't say anything about it but that I know it's there.
Knowing about these kinds of unthinkable things does something really strange to my mind – it brings it into an especially stupid surrender to the world around me. It makes me content with life, and compassionate to those around me unconditionally – it lulls my mind away from the usual human thought of the status quo. I don't know why it does this, but asking why leads you to the conclusion that there is no "why." It just is. Enjoy it. It's everything.

New Zealand overcomes deficit to down Eagles
HONG KONG, China – The Men's Eagles Sevens took an early lead against New Zealand in the last match of Pool B group play at the Cathay Pacific HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, but failed to hold the lead for the remainder of the match and lost 24-12. The Eagles will now enter the Bowl Quarterfinals against Scotland on Sunday.
Andrew Durutalo and Folau Niua were rewarded with starting spots against the All Blacks after their showing against France earlier in the day, including Duruatalo's efficient tackling.
Matt Hawkins forced a turnover at the Eagles' own 22, and a kick out wide and deep destined for Carlin Isles was chased down by the former sprinter. A Kiwi gained possession before an Isles tackle, forcing a New Zealand penalty.
The scrum to the Eagles was recovered and Nick Edwards, in his second consecutive start, burst through the New Zealand defense and stayed on his feet dragging several defenders for a few extra meters to offload to Hawkins, who touched the ball down in the try zone for the opening score. Shalom Suniula missed the sideline conversion just wide for a slim 5-0 lead in the third minute.
New Zealand gained possession from the ensuing kickoff and a single pass to Ben Lam was all the All Blacks needed for the scoreboard reply. Lam broke two tackles on his way to the try zone and not even Isles could catch him. Rocky Khan nailed the conversion for the 7-5 lead.
Isles forced a New Zealand penalty and Trinity Spooner-Neera committed a yellow card offense to put the Eagles up a man with less than a minute remaining. It took a bit longer than a minute, but Niua's heads-up work after a tackle to find an oncoming Hawkins resulted in the Eagles' second lead of the match. Hawkins' third try of the tournament was converted by Suniula, and the Eagles took a 12-7 lead into the half.
With Spooner-Neera back on the field in the second half to even the sides, the All Blacks enjoyed some extended possession, but could not get past a stout Eagles defense until a switch created space for Spooner-Neera to tie the match. It stayed tied, as Khan's conversion missed wide.
Second-half substitute Colin Hawley showed off his fresh legs in space to help the Eagles down the field, but yet another Eagles' penalty halted their own offense. New Zealand's own substitute Tim Mikkelson found himself down the right-hand sideline in trouble and handed the ball off to Khan, who outran Hawley for the score. Khan's conversion was missed again, keeping the Eagles within striking distance at 17-12.
Brett Thompson made his first appearance of the tournament late in the second half, but was put in an unfortunate position as time was expiring. Hawley, on the ground in a ruck, passed the ball out to Niua for one last Eagles offensive. Niua's pass was behind his teammates, however, and Thompson was forced to kick the ball into his own try zone to keep it away from New Zealand. Though he kept after the ball, Gillies Kaka beat him to it and had the ball in hand for less than a second before triumphantly touching it down. Khan's conversion made the final score 24-12.
With the Eagles' Pool B opponents each winning at least one game, Head Coach Alex Magleby's team will compete for the Bowl on Sunday. Though it may be disappointing after a Cup Quarterfinals appearance at Vegas Sevens in February, there are still points to be gained in the Bowl competition. Currently in 13th in the IRB HSBC Sevens World Series, the Eagles need to gain as many points as they can to keep out of the relegation battle.

Enjoy nature; avoid ticks
As we settle into summer and plan more and more outdoor activities, we caution residents to be aware of ticks - even the old fashioned "dog tick" - that can pass Lyme disease to its human host.
Also, fleas, biting flies, and red ants in the Southern states have been know to carry Lyme disease.
The answer is not to become a hermit and stay in the safety of your dwelling all the time, but to get out and enjoy the great outdoors during the summer months with certain protective preventatives. Such as:
*Perform frequent, thorough tick checks, especially in the scalp area.
*Wear light colored clothing.
*Tuck pants into socks, or put duct tape around the pants cuffs.
*Put clothes into dryer for 30 minutes to kill ticks. Washing clothes will not kill ticks!
*There are products containing DEET for skin. Children two months and older use 10-percent concentration but do not apply to face or hands. Adults use 12-25-percent maximum. Products containing Permethrin for clothes is very effective for adults and recommended for hunters and outdoorsmen; do not use on children.
*Consider using new DEET-free repellants for 30-45 minute effectiveness.
Remember, you don't have to be in the deep woods to be bitten by a tick. You can encounter ticks in your back yard, or they can enter your home on the family pet.
If you find a tick attached, remove it with tweezers only. Never burn a tick off your body, this will only push the bacteria from the tick further into your body.
Symptoms of Lyme disease may appear from 48 hours to several weeks after an infected tick bite. They include flu-like symptoms - fatigue, muscle and joint pain and swelling, headache, fever, chills, swollen glands, sore throat, stiff neck, and skin rash. The symptoms also may come and go over several weeks to several months.
The answer is not to stop enjoying nature, the great outdoors and your favorite summer activities. Just be sure to protect yourself first and do tick checks after being outdoors.

We love restaurants recipes, and when we get one from Jeff Nathan of Abigaels we were very excited. Abigaels' cuisine offers an array of globally eclectic American fare, Latin comfort foods and Sushi & Pan Asian specialties. This recipe is one of Chef Jeff's winter menu specials and we're sure it will be your favorite too.
Love the food at Abigaels. Can't wait to try out this recipe, especially the apple-pear relish. Sounds delicious. Thank you
Have both of Jeff Nathan's cookbooks (The Sweet Potato Corn Chowder is to die for!). Just ate at his restaurant and it was fabulous. Can't wait to try this one.

Simple & Lovely: 5 Beige Shower Curtains
Beige is one of those colors I try to avoid. I am naturally drawn to color, lots and lots of color. After taking what I considered to be a huge risk, hanging beige colored drapes in my purpley pink bedroom, I just might be a convert.
Beige can be so soothing, mild, and sophisticated when done right. Here are five simply lovely beige colored shower curtains.

1. Kate Spade Sandpiper Shower Curtain from Bed Bath & Beyond $39.99

CES 2010: The Totally Tubular Edifier M3-Plus
Accompanying the announcement of the Edifier iF500 Luna5 Encore, we saw ourselves curiously drawn to the rainbow selection of 2.1 systems mounted on the wall of the Edifier booth. The Edifier M3-Plus is very similar to the Edifier MP330 Portable System, comprised of two raquet ball sized speakers and a 2'' Neodymium-iron Boron Magnet assembly subwoofer housed inside an aluminum tube, designed specifically for travelers.
Alongside the colours, the Edifier M3-Plus 2.1 system's speaker rubber stands seems to have been updated from its precursor, theMP330, providing improved stability. Input remains a standard 3.5mm Stereo input plug for easy connection to your digital audio device or latop and the design supposedly meets electronics travel requirements, so TSA won't make you leave your audio entertainment options at home. About $100.

BT secures Welsh broadband deal
£13m pays for final 35 exchanges to get DSL
Millions of pounds are to be spent converting the last 35 BT exchanges in Wales to broadband in a move to deliver blanket broadband coverage throughout the Principality.
The Welsh Assembly has just inked a deal with BT to convert the last exchanges in Wales are to be wired for broadband - so a further 10,000 homes and business can hook up to high speed net access. These exchanges, not already converted to DSL because they were deemed not to be commercially viable, are due to come online in the summer.
Welsh Assembly Government e-minister Andrew Davies said: "Currently, around 99 per cent of the Welsh population can access broadband technology...however, the Assembly Government is committed to ensuring that virtually every single individual and business in Wales has the opportunity to benefit from the advantages offered by this technology.
"Today's announcement will lead to further growth in broadband uptake as these final unviable exchange areas are enabled."
BT is understood to be footing around a third of the cost of the bill, believed to be as much as £13m, with the rest coming from taxpayers. But even with all of BT's exchanges broadband-enabled, there will still be plenty of areas within Wales unable to secure affordable broadband access.
Which is why once these exchanges are up and running, officials intend to identify broadband blackspots to see what other technologies can be deployed to deliver high speed services.
Last month, for example, the European Commission (EC) gave the go-ahead for plans by the Welsh Development Agency (WDA) to wire up 14 Welsh business parks in North Wales with broadband, previously unconnected due to their remote locations. But thanks to a scheme called "FibreSpeed Wales", the WDA is looking to hire a wholesale operator to construct an open, carrier-neutral, fibre-optic network linking all 14 business parks.
Although the EC has agreed that such a project would not breach state aid rules, a final decision on whether the project can proceed is likely to be made later this year. ®

Football and religion are two callings in life, and Justin Anderson has answered each one.
Football and religion are two callings in life, and Justin Anderson has answered each one.
A native of Orem, Utah, Anderson answered football's call as a wide receiver for Brigham Young University and later as the wide receivers coach at Nicholls State University. He's held the latter position since 2010.
Now, Anderson, 35, a resident of Thibodaux, has an opportunity to answer another important call. This time, it is the calling from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
On April 21, Anderson was appointed as bishop for the Mormon church, or stake, in the Houma-Thibodaux area.
"For me, my faith is very important, and when I was asked to do this, it was important for me to accept it," Anderson said. "I'm excited for the experience it will bring."
Anderson will continue in his role with the Colonels football team; he will work with the church when not at his coaching job.
Anderson said serving as bishop was not something he was actively seeking, but when asked, it was an opportunity that he could not pass up.
"You don't really aspire in the church for that," he said. "It's a lot of work, especially being a husband, father and coach. You don't actively seek it, but at the same time, you feel honored for this opportunity."
Anderson replaced Christopher Diket, who served a five-year term.
As the church's bishop, Anderson's duties are similar to those of a pastor, priest or rabbi. He will work 20 to 30 hours a week, helping people grow spiritually, counseling parishioners and helping his fellow church members in any way possible.
The position is unpaid. Anderson will serve for about five years, unless he moves to another area.
Nicholls head football coach Charlie Stubbs said he is confident that Anderson will thrive as the church's bishop.
"Justin has his priorities in order," said Stubbs, also a Mormon. "He loves serving others, which is what this position is all about. He is a great role model for others. You want the coaches you work with to set a great example, and he really does with his leadership."
Anderson said juggling his duties as a football coach and bishop will not be easy, but the support and patience from his family — wife, Anne, and children, Dakota, Kenedi, Rubee, Peyton and Jayce — will make things a lot easier.
To succeed as a coach, bishop and family man, Anderson said he needs to have his priorities in order.
"You have to find out where your priorities are," he said. "When I'm at work, I'm at work because I know I have to provide for my family. When I'm at home, I make sure I give my full attention to my family. When I'm at church, I will give my full attention to the church.
"I'm not sure if you can balance it perfectly, but I think the key is to give your full attention to where you are at and give it your best."
Anderson will have some help in his new role. Richard Stock of Thibodaux and James Simmons of Houma will assist him.
Stubbs will also help where he can.
"It would be very difficult to do both if I was not the head coach," Stubbs said. "We don't meet on Sundays as a coaching staff, so he will be able to do both. He will be able to serve and do the things he needs to do as a bishop and the leader of the congregation. It's all about priorities, and he has his in order — family, faith and football."
Stubbs is no stranger to serving the Mormon church. He served as a counselor when he was an assistant coach at the University of Alabama in the late 1990s. Stubbs' eldest son, Troy, is currently a bishop in Montgomery, Ala.
Anderson said he could not have done this without Stubbs' support.
"Coach Stubbs has been very supportive of this," Anderson said. "It makes it a lot easier when your head coach supports this and understands the importance of faith and life, and he is willing to support me in this. He is a good man and a good coach, and he understands what I've been asked to do."
While he is not sure which is easier — coaching football or serving as the church's bishop — Anderson said he is excited at the opportunity to serve as the church's bishop.
"In the end, the most important goal — my ultimate goal — is keeping my faith in Christ, and I think that is why this is such an important calling for me," he said. "It gives me a chance to help people find what true happiness is, and that is through Christ."

E-book readership is growing rapidly (though still small in total). Publishers who've been in the ebook business for a while, like Baen and Fictionwise, have taken the approach of pricing ebooks low, often less than mass-market paperback prices. Now that more and larger publishers are entering the space, they're pricing their ebooks to compete with hardback and trade paperback prices.
Then there's the question of pricing for shorter works, like short stories.
As an author I want to be rewarded for my work, but not to the point where prices lose readership. As a reader I want to pay a fair price for what I read. (Editorial comment... I personally feel ebook prices from mainstream publishers are getting a bit pricey...)
And there's the question of whether variable pricing based on reader satisfaction makes sense, like how you tip the server more for great service at a restaurant and less for poor service.
What are your thoughts? What is a fair price for ebooks? Take the E-book pricing survey at http://www.critters.org/surv if you haven't already, and share your comments here.
Thanks for your input!

Hoping to avoid scheduling conflicts, the Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has started a "Save the Date" program.
The chamber is posting dates of 2013 activities as they become available on its website, www.ticonderogany.com, in a "Save the Date" section and in its regular calendar of events.

"It is important to create a centralized calendar, where information about events can be shared, not only to promote the area, but to eliminate scheduling conflicts," Courtright said. "We strongly encourage area businesses and organizations to share information on their 2013 events. In addition we encourage everyone to use the calendar and contact the chamber when choosing dates to host an event."
While individual events are encouraged to be submitted to the community calendar, organizations can also submit their yearly schedule of events.
Events can be submitted by emailing email@example.com or visiting the chamber office on Montcalm Street.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

Easy Rear Seat Removal For 2004 – 2008 F-150
This step-by-step guide by Travis O'Brien will save time over Ford's standard removal procedure if you need to install speakers or other accessories.
1. Pry top plastic cover off of the middle seat belt at
the top of the seat. This will give you access to remove the two 10mm nuts
that hold the plastic piece down.
2. Remove the T50 bolt that holds the middle seat belt
3. Squeeze your arm back behind the lower part of the seat
and get your hand on the plastic piece that hooks over the metal catch of the
seat cushion. Below I show two examples of where you need to get a grip on
it with your finger. At the same time I hit the top of the seat downward
while pulling this plastic piece towards the back wall. After doing so
pull the seat up some and repeat on the other side. Some times it takes a
few times since one side falls after you go to the other side. I usually
jam something under the seat cushion after released to keep if from catching
Some examples of how I get my hand on the clasp.
This is what the plastic clasp is grabbing on the seat.
4. After both sides are released then pull the seat
straight up to release it off of the plastic hooks at the top of the cushion
that hold it to the back wall.
5. Remove the seat. Be very careful not to scratch
your bottom seat cushion. There is some sharp metal at the bottom of the
framework that can do some damage.
There is enough room to mount your amplifiers, tv tuners, or
anything else you wish to the back wall. Under the carpet on the driver's
side you will find the keyless entry module. If your truck is equipped
with the power sliding window then you will find the motor back there as well.

Little fighters stories:
Please feel free to read all the stories of our little fighters. PLEASE NOTE: Not all the photographs in our Little Fighters Albums are nice to look at. Some of the photographs depict the horrid realities of Childhood Cancer. Sensitive viewers should be mindful.
Ghanaan Amardien
Ghanaan is only 2 years old and has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She has just completed 6 months of intensive Chemotherapy, and her doctor at Red Cross confirmed that she still has 2 years of Chemotherapy ahead of her.
Ghanaan is 2 years old and has a little sister, Amaani, who is 8 months old. Ghanaan was diagnosed with ALL in January 2011 and mommy and daddy got divorced in May. Mommy is the sole breadwinner for the family. They live with mommy Ayesha's sister and needs to pay rent, water and electricity, buy food, nappies, formula and pay for transport to and from the hospital on a very small budget.
This is Ghanaan's story.
It was sunday the 30th January 2011, a month before Ghanaan's 2nd birthday. Ghanaan had bug like symptoms, vomiting, fever and diarrhea. Later that night her dad put her down to walk and she just toppled over. He then tried to let her walk again and she just fell over again. He then rushed her through to Gateville medical centre where they called the pediatrician and he then did an MRI scan as well as blood tests. On monday 31st January he called us to his rooms and there he gave me the worst news that broke my heart. He told me that my baby had leukemia! She was immediately rushed to Red X oncology unit where she started chemotherapy immediately. We stayed in hospital for the first month of her treatment as she was not handling the chemo too well. Eventually after about 4 weeks they let us go home. We were home for about a week when she spiked a temp so back to hospital for another 2 weeks. She often picked up infections and we spent quite a lot of time in hospital. At one stage she got mucositis and was on morphine for 2 weeks for the pain, they also had to insert an NG tube as she was not able to eat and was losing a lot of weight. And so it went on, in and out of hospital for the next few months. Ghanaan started her maintenance on 5th September 2011 and she still has another 2 years of chemo to get through. It has already been a long, hard journey for us and we still have a long road ahead of us! Not sure what the road ahead holds but with the support of people who care for us I am sure we will get there and I know that my baby girl will win this battle she is currently fighting!

BOULDER -- Nearly 93 percent of Boulder County's active voters cast ballots in the 2012 general election -- approximately the same rate of turnout as in the 2008 presidential election.
Brad Turner, a spokesman for the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office, said Wednesday that records show 93 percent of the 186,220 voters then listed on county rolls as being "active" cast mail ballots or voted in person at early-voting locations in the 2008 election or on that year's Election Day.
According to still-unofficial 2012 totals, about 93 percent of the 187,962 active Boulder County voters on current county rolls cast mail ballots or voted in person in this year's general election.
Turner said 172,531 ballots were cast in the 2008 general election. Sixty-seven percent were mail ballots, 16 percent were cast by people voting early at designated polling places, and 17 percent were by people voting at the polls on Election Day.
This year's tally, thus far, shows that at least 174,364 Boulder County residents cast ballots. Seventy-three percent of them sent back or dropped off completed mail ballots, 10 percent voted early but in person, and 17 percent voted at Election Day polling places.
The 2012 turnout totals may increase, because a number of Boulder County voters still have several days in which they can correct such problems as having failed to sign their mail-ballot envelopes -- something that must be done before Nov. 14 in order for their votes to be counted.
Also, the county clerk's elections staff is reviewing about 3,000 provisional ballots cast by people whose eligibility to vote has to be verified. That included, for example, people who showed up elsewhere than their assigned precinct polling places, and people whose names weren't on the polls books. The county has until Nov. 20 to verify -- and add to the totals -- the provisional ballots from people it has determined to have been eligible to vote.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb men's tennis team posted its first shutout of the spring season Sunday, defeating North Alabama 7-0 at the Huston-Marsh-Griffith Tennis Center in Nashville.
The match was the Bison's final competition before entering into conference play.
"Our biggest goal today was to play a complete match in doubles and singles," Lipscomb head coach Andrew Harris said. "We moved the doubles line up around and inserted Miguel Cortez back in the doubles line up, which was great to have him back. The guys did a solid job taking care of their courts in singles and staying focused. Now, the attention turns to Belmont and everyone needs to be ready to go for conference."
The Bison opened the match by securing the doubles point with wins in two of the three doubles matches.
Junior Oliver Strecker and sophomore Miguel Cortez posted a win for the Bison at the No. 1 spot, defeating Matt Feury and Alexey Kavalenka 8-5.
The Bison's other doubles victory came at No.3, where junior Colby Shaw and sophomore David Salazar took down Rob Whitsitt and Alex Weber 8-4.
No. 2 doubles was Bison's lone loss for the day. Junior Tanner Brown and freshman Stuart Tierney were defeated by Constantin Witten and Mirko Sommerfeld in a tight 8-7 loss.
With a 1-0 lead, the Bison moved into singles competition and went on to sweep all six singles matches.
At No. 1, Strecker defeated Witten 6-0, 6-0, while Salazar pulled out a three set victory over Feury at No. 2, winning 4-6, 6-4, 10-8.
Freshman Daniel Hernandez defeated Kavalenka at No. 3, 6-2, 6-2, and Tierney won at No. 4, defating Sommerfield 6-2, 6-1.
At No. 5, Brown posted a 6-0, 6-1 win over Whitsitt, while Shaw defeated Jonathan Vick 6-1, 6-0 at No. 6.
The Bison hope to carry the momentum from their win over UNA into Atlantic Sun Conference competition, which will begin on Saturday. The Bison travel down the street to Belmont's Tennis Complex where match play will begin at 10 a.m.
