An autopsy today determined an 88-year-old Elgin man died of strangulation and his death was ruled a homicide, authorities said.
The autopsy for John Poyer, 88, of the 500 block of Hiawatha Drive, determined Poyer died of strangulation and his death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Poyer was pronounced dead on the scene at his home at the Hiawatha Drive address, at 6:35 p.m. Sunday, according to a spokesman for the medical examiner's office, who said he had been ill.
"It's an ongoing investigation,'' said Commander Ana Lalley of the Elgin Police department when reached for comment about the incident.
"It just happened this morning, so it's pretty fresh'' Lalley said.
Lalley declined to give any further information.

New Grimm Season 5 Artwork Teases Nick's Dark Path
We don't know about you, but we're still catching our collective breath following NBC Grimm's season 4 finale.
The show returns on October 30 for a fifth run, and if this moody new vengeance-promising poster that landed on the ScreenSpy news desk this morning is anything to go by, we're definitely going to see a darker side of Nick Burkhardt this season.
NBC has teased that in the wake of his mother's beheading and Juliette's (Bitsie Tulloch) death, things will never be more chaotic for Nick (David Giuntoli).
Having lost so much, he will be forced to dig deep and decide what type of person he wants to be, while also coming to grips with fathering a child with his once sworn enemy, Adalind (Claire Coffee).
On top of all this, the season ahead will see crime in Portland continue to rise, with even more dangerous Wesen coming out of the shadows and making their way to the great Northwest. A Wesen uprising is on the horizon and everyone will need to be prepared.
Grimm also stars Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee and Bree Turner.
Catch the new poster below, and remember to follow @ScreenSpy on Twitter | ScreenSpy on Facebook for more exclusive Grimm interviews, scoop, high res galleries and a whole lot more this Fall.

Roosevelt rallies school district employees on in-service day: "'I guess I'm apologizing that I haven't done it before,' Mr. Roosevelt said of the joint meeting.Jeepers, what where you waiting for? And, why are you only going to 'guess' about apoligizing.
Do students get to guess on their tests in school?
Too bad the entire city wasn't invited to the event. I had pondered going in with my video camera. But, I've been tossed out of too many meetings in the past years to fuss with that.
Would be nice to see or hear the audio of the entire speech however. Anyone? P-G?
Getting together with people seems like a good 'people person activity' for -- say -- a people centric activity.
The district does not have the resource to make an academic revitalization -- unless it couples with the parents, residents, citizens, voters, taxpayers -- and the rest of the world.
Doing the Pittsburgh Promise, but excluding the rest of the world, is one way to make it fail.
Holding meetings with only teachers and not the rest of the city is another way to make it fail.
All the king's horses and all the king's men won't be able to put Humpty together again. However, it will take everyone's insight and help. And, he won't look just like he used to.
The brawn of courage is often displayed at the time of invitation. That's the brawn of recruitment. With enough leverage -- anything is possible.

Important Dental Insurance Facts
Questions about Dental Insurance
What to Ask about Managed Care
How do I choose a dental insurance policy?
This is a big question. If you are shopping for dental insurance on your own you will have a wide range of factors to consider. Even if your employer provides you with dental insurance you may have multiple dental plans to choose from. How do you decide what's right for you?
The most important thing is to ask yourself the right questions to ensure your dental insurance is adequate:
Can I afford this dental insurance?
The bottom line is the amount of the dental insurance premium. If the dental insurance premium is more than you can afford, but you are still interested, perhaps you can tailor the dental plan to fit you. Are there options to insure only large dental procedures? In some cases you can get a 'discount' dental insurance? If your family is in good health you could gamble that a discount dental plan is all you need.
Dental insurance through an employer is an ideal scenario. Group dental insurance provided through an employer is generally much cheaper.
What am I expected to pay for dental insurance?
It's not just about the dental insurance premiums you pay. It's also about the costs which you have to cover. What is the deductible? What percentage of the dental procedure (minus deductible) will I be reimbursed? Does the dental insurance plan only pay for the least expensive alternative treatment (known as LEAT coverage)? To what extent are preventative services covered by dental insurance? What happens in an emergency? What type of routine care is covered by dental insurance? These are also important considerations especially if you or your family members are frequent users of health care services.
Does this dental insurance plan cover the services I (or my family) use?
Not all dental insurance plans cover preventative dentistry. If you'd rather take action before you have to get that root canal, check your coverage.
Dental insurance plans may also restrict your ability to change Dentists, see Dentists outside of the plan or get access to dental specialists. If you are limited to a Dental Specialist from a particular list you must be comfortable with that? Read the fine print on your dental insurance policy.
Will the dental insurance plan provide for regular dental exams and cleanings which are frequent enough for the care of your teeth? What about x-rays? Does this dental insurance plan cover crowns, braces, root canals, oral surgeries and treatment of periodon'tal disease? If you have any pre-existing dental conditions is there any exclusion period?
Is this a dental insurance plan I can live with?
It's up to you to do some research. Dental insurance is important to you and your family day in and day out. It may be costly or inconvenient to change dental insurance plans. So, check everything out.
You want a dental insurance company that's stable. It's not in your best interest to f...

Remember when you were young, you did something you weren't supposed to. You got into a fight or broke or window, something of that nature. Someone told on you, and you got the kind of parents that don't play around. So, when they talk to you, there's sternness in their voices. They may even yell and scream at you. Hell, some may ever let out a curse word or two.
At the end of their tirade, they punish you. You're either spanked, grounded or both. Whatever it is, you're punished in a way where your joys are taken away temporarily. You may have a dance to go to, but you're sure as hell ain't going to it.
While you're sitting in your room sulking, you're angry at the person who snitched on you, and you're pissed off at your folks for punishing you. You start thinking that they don't love you, especially if this is yet another incident. You've been in trouble before. They yell and discipline you trying to make you feel low about what you did while hoping that it will teach your ass a lesson. Yet, you still need learning if you slip up again and the whole bit replays itself each time until you finally realize that you need to behave.
As you grow up and look back, you understand now. They did those things, because they love you. They don't want you to screw up terribly. They don't want to see you in a grave or a prison cell.
Whenever privileged folks are confronted about their privileged attitudes and behavior, they get defensive. They think you hate them about as much – or worse – than any hate group hates those they deem are inferior. In their eyes, you expressing your aggravation about living in an unfair society based on where frivolous traits determine whether you advance or stay down is more damaging to progress or peace than anything any hate group has done.
In short, you raising awareness or fighting injustices means you hate white people, rich people, men, straight and cisgender people and Christians.
As with our parents who raised us, that's far from true. And it ignores the causation behind any frustrations harboring within those seeking social justice. While there are some who express their loathing with privileged groups, the majority don't hold any ill will, but are nonetheless sick and tired of the continued willingness of being ignorant and condescending. And whatever negative feelings present do not measure to the hatred privileged people have inflicted upon everyone else. After all, no where in history has people of color ever committed mass genocide against whites, women have never considered men as the weaker sex and confined them to the status as second-class citizens born only to stay at home and get her pregnant and have you heard any religious gay person use the bible to express God's loathing of straight people and promoted violence against them?
Privileged folks' greatest fear is that if everyone else is given the privileges they take for granted, they the former the lose theirs. They want the hierarchy to remain untouched and stay in their positions for better or for worse.
Those of us struggling in a world of inequalities do not imagine our grievances to get a leg up without legitimacy. We're not out to conquer others. And we're not seeking revenge for the sins of the past. To put it bluntly, we're just tired of the shit privileged people do, and we simply want it to stop.
That is not out of hatred. It's out of love.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- (Mealey's) The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 29 heard arguments over whether capital gains earned on the sale of a debtor couple's farm should be treated as administrative expenses within the bankruptcy estate or are proceeds to which the U.S. government has priority (Hall v. United States, No. 10-875, Chapter 12, U.S. Sup.).
(Transcript. Document #80-111207-012T.)
Brenda and Lynwood Hall filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona. They proposed a plan of reorganization under which they would pay off their outstanding liabilities using the proceeds from the sale of their farm.
The IRS objected to the proposed plan, asserting a federal income tax of $29,000 on the capital gain the Halls received from the sale, which happened while the bankruptcy was pending.
The Bankruptcy Court sustained the IRS's objection, and the Halls appealed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, which reversed. The IRS appealed to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, where a divided court ruled that because a Chapter 12 estate is not a taxable entity, it cannot "incur" a tax.
The Halls appealed to the Supreme Court.
At oral argument, the Halls' attorney, Susan M. Freeman, contended that the capital gains earned from the sale of the farm clearly are part of the bankruptcy estate and should be used to pay out claims and that the IRS's interests cannot be interposed on the estate.
Furthermore, Freeman argued that income earned during the period of administration, from the petition filing date to the confirmation date of the plan, is all property of the estate.
Arguing for the United States, Assistant Solicitor General Pratik A. Shah contended that the tax liability at issue in the case is not subject to 11 U.S. Code Section 1222(a)(2) and cannot be treated as a dischargeable nonpriority debt. Specifically, he maintained, a Chapter 12 plan is limited to prepetition debts and does not cover post-petition debts, including administrative expenses.
The Halls are represented by Freeman of Phoenix. The U.S. government is represented by Shah, of the U.S. Solicitor General's Office in Washington, D.C.

it's done; or, the night brings wisdom
It's done. (caveats, asterisks, daggers, etc. way down below.)
Not to make a big deal about it, except...well, come on. Seven years. That deserves at least a double Jamesons, right? (Except that I'm in the midst of a 30-day booze purge, so I'll raise a glass of tap water, I guess, and hit the Jamesons on Feb 1.)
No, it's not hardly all I've been doing for seven years. In fact, for several of those years I wasn't working on it at all. What was I doing? Oh, you know. Making a living, mostly. What else? Trying to write a screenplay with Matt Walker. Writing an entirely different novel that I ended up shelving. Writing this and that.
But whatever. Seven years ago to the very week I sat down to write some notes on an idea I had, and when I stood up I had 30 pages. That's how it started. I was pretty sure it was a ridiculous idea...but I was also sure I had never been so excited about anything I had written. Ever, really. So...it lived. Barely, for a long time. And now, seven years later, 30 pages has grown to 540.
Context on seven years, since I'm waxing novel-nostalgic tonight: Seven years ago my 26 year-old and 15 year-old daughters were 19 and 8, respectively. I was 37. Last decade, in the course of only six years I published three novels, and now it's been six years since In Hoboken's release. Seven years is just a year shy of what you'd spend in high school and college combined (which is why I didn't go to college, probably; that's just too damn long to sit in one place). Seven years is almost twice as long as I was in the army, but only half as long as we've been in this current state of war.
Anyway, I'm over myself now. But boy did it feel good to print that manuscript out today for the first time. Can't wait for y'all to read it.
Here are those caveats: Done as defined by first draft coherent enough to print out. I've got work ahead of me, no doubt. But (to me, anyway) this is the fun work, and is usually pretty speedy. I love the editing and rewriting.

Spring may have finally arrived here in the Northeast, but penguins are never out of season with kids. The latest entry in Nosy Crow's "Rounds" series is a blend of fact and fiction offering information on the life cycle of these endearing aquatic creatures, while Antarctica by Kids Discover delivers photos and text on one of the places these birds can be found. If it is photos you're looking for, don't forget to take a look at Matchbook Digital's Our Amazing World: Penguins, a spectacular collection of color images by wildlife photographer Wayne Lynch, reviewed earlier in Touch and Go.
In Barry and Emma Tranter's engaging Rounds: Parker Penguin (Nosy Crow, $4.99; PreS-Gr 2), a gregarious emperor penguin cheerily relates salient facts about his species and Antarctica. Readers first encounter Parker as a young fledgling standing expectantly against the frigid backdrop of the South Pole, with snowflakes falling gently around him. Soft, lullaby-like music by award-winning composer Robin Beanland plays in the background and complements the crisp, wintery illustrations.
Viewers track the bird through various stages of his development as he glides and swims in his icy habitat, hunts food, avoids predators, meets his mate, Penelope, and helps hatch their chick, Percy. Per the "Rounds" series title, the life cycle story begins again with Percy, followed by his son, Peter.
The jocund narration is charmingly voiced by British child actors. In the "Read and Play" mode, words are highlighted as they are spoken; with the independent reading option, children can manage the length of time the text appears. In both modes, users tap light blue dots that appear on the penguins and their surroundings to glean additional information about the animal's habits and habitat.
Sweeping fingers across the screen will cause snowflakes to swirl; tilting the device propels Parker across the ice and into the water with a splash. Animation standouts include the lively penguin mating dance, and Parker's age progression cleverly juxtaposed against the rising and setting of the sun. The app has excellent sound design with realistic penguin vocalizations interspersed throughout the story.
Parker Penguin's seamless presentation of nonfiction content in a captivating and informative manner makes it an essential purchase for burgeoning digital collections. A trailer is available.—Lalitha Nataraj, Escondido Public Library, Escondido, CA
Children learning about the continents are sure to appreciate Linda Scher's Antarctica ($2.99; Gr 2-5) by Kids Discover. Jam packed with facts, figures, and stunning images (archival and contemporary), it's both visually arresting and informative. Separate sections delve into Antarctica's geography, climate, and "cold critters," expeditions to the frozen land (current and historical), and its importance to research scientists. There's even an interview with a support staff member on her first trip to the McMurdo Station. The app's maps, quizzes, animations, and short video clips make it a valuable resource for a range of learners.
The app is user-friendly and navigation is easy—from the visual table of contents to the discretely placed tabs and arrows. One of the interactive highlights is the penguin egg that users can hatch by tapping the screen. Images are crisp and bright. A five-question quiz culminates the storyline. Children who choose incorrect answers are encouraged to try again and rewarded with applause when they respond correctly.
Other in-app activities include a penguin word scramble and a cartoon figure to dress for the frigid environment (layers being key). A suggested extension activity involves making a glacier (with snow or shaved ice) in three quick steps. A short resource list of Web and print resources are appended. All in all, an app that is sure to please parents and educators as well as youngsters.—Morgan Doane, Kent District Library, East Grand Rapids, MI

I feel like a bad mom today!!!!!!
No I do not feel as if i neglect my kids all the time but I am a SAHM and today i got my 2 yr old sons virus. so I asked my 6 yr old DD to help her brothers into the house from the car because i had to lay down or pass out and DH was already at work. Is it wrong that I asked my 6 yr old to help that little bit I feel guilty because I do not want her to think it is job from now on..
My family isnt very supportive unless it involves money and DHs parents are older and cant deal with the youngest who even while sick is like the energizer bunny fed a constant diet of pixie sticks.
You needed help, and you gave your daughter an opportunity to help out Mommy - that's a good lesson! It doesn't sound like a "regular" thing and I don't think it's anything to feel bad about
Thre is no reason in the world that kids can't be expected to help in whatever way they can help. They aren't supposed to just be entitled little royals being waited on, but active members of the family, helping each other. It seems very odd that you actually feel guilty merely for asking your 6 year old to walk her brothers into the house one time. You do know that achievement brings empowerment and good self esteem? Why would it hurt your daughter even if that WAS her job "all the time?" I see too many kids who don't feel that they have to lift a finger at home or for anyone else, and too many parents who feel that way. I also know what kids are capable of, from very young ages.
Don't be so harsh on yourself. I don't see you having done anything wrong. Getting kids to help instills a sense of responsibility in them. How we come across to our kids is what's important. There's nothing wrong in having asked your DD to get her brothers from the car, especially because her mamma was unwell. I am sure she must have felt like a big girl her mamma can depend on, and felt good about it.
It teaches the older one a little responsibility....a good lesson, but not something I would rely on
I don't think your a bad mom at all or did anything wrong. Kids love to help out mom,and knowing they are their for you and siblings it makes it even easier. ( I always helped my mom out in everyway she needed me.the most when it came to my sister) Times like that is how your family grows closer.its what's going to keep your family together and strong. Being there for one another is what family is all about. If we can't be there in times of need how could you enjoy the loving caring times together.i hope this helps and feel better!

I am treasurer of a walking club. We are collectively insured for damage against a third party through our Ramblers Association membership, but would also like to take out personal accident insurance. Through the association's broker, Perkin Slade, this would cost £2 per person a year.
That sounds reasonable but, as the club runs on a shoestring, we need every member to agree to pay the £2. This is not a problem, but some of our members are over 70 and the insurance company will not insure people over 70.
The club is prepared to fund any reasonable top-up for the older members but we are told it is not possible to insure anyone, as the policy stipulates we insure everyone. Do you know anyone who would insure us at a reasonable rate?
BL, Hartlepool
Saga has a personal accident policy for anyone up to 84, although benefits are halved from the age of 80. Saga does not insure groups and it costs £4.89 a person a month, vastly more expensive than Perkin Slade's policy. The difference is that Saga insures you all the time, but the Ramblers' policy applies only while you are walking with the club. But all is not lost. Perkin Slade says it insists that everyone in a club is insured to keep down the unit cost but, although it will not insure anyone over 70, you can buy its accident policy for the rest of the club.
Can I complain?
I belong to a company pension scheme but am also partly self-employed, which funded a personal pension in 1994 to cover my mortgage. It has become apparent that my personal pension is not going to pay back my mortgage and there are 18 years still to go. So far I have paid only mortgage interest. Can I complain, like people who have been mis-sold an endowment mortgage?
PK, Inverness
Certainly. First ask whoever sold you the pension to justify the calculation that the lump sum from your pension might be enough to repay the mortgage. Were the risks explained to you? Was it appropriate at the time you bought the policy? Even with your company pension, was it realistic to divert so much of your retirement income to repaying mortgage?
If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the ombudsman, who will uphold your complaint only if the salesman had been wrong to sell you a pension mortgage at all.
Making Barclaycard admit £3,325 error
In July, my Barclaycard statement showed a deduc tion of £3,325 and a Barclaycard cheque fee of £66.50. This was not my spending. Barclaycard promised to sort it out, but the error is still on my statement.
RT, London
This turns out to be a promotional cheque Barclaycard adds to the bottom of credit card statements for customers being offered a special rate. Unfortunately it is easy for a thief to use because the recipient has no signature to compare. It looks as though your statement was intercepted, the cheque stolen and then made out to 'Nelson Delgado'. Barclaycard's fraud department is investigating.
Why was my interest hotter in July?
I started an interest-only mortgage with Bristol & West in July, paying £183 a month. The first payment, collected in August, was £410 - £183 for August and £227 for three weeks of July. I asked why the short month cost more than a full one but had no reply. I wrote again and Bristol & West simply sent a copy of the original letter. I faxed on 17 October but again received no reply.
ML, Wakefield
The July interest should have been £145 but the computer calculated wrongly. The excess has been refunded. Bristol & West says it has no record of receiving your two letters and is investigating. The bank claims lost letters are not normally a problem so I forwarded the print-out from your fax that proves you sent it.

A 58 year-old St. Louis man sent cat poop to a prospective employer for not hiring him. We here at the ol' Free Press were wondering how people at BU would get back at companies for not hiring them.
SMG: They would get the job … their Mom is probably the CEO.
COM: They would cut all their electronics chargers.
CFA: They would send them a piece of their ear.
ENG: They would use a drone to drop a bag of flaming dog poop at their front door.
President Brown: He would just buy out the company with our undergraduate student fee.
The FreeP: We would just accept it and come back and work at the FreeP. #FreePKidsAfraidToLeaveTheFreeP

While the number of accidents involving alcohol is dropping in Saskatchewan, the number of fatal ones is on the rise.
Allan Kerpan knows all too well the repercussions of that rising number.
On Oct. 10, 2014, Kerpan's world changed. At about 1:15 a.m. CST his phone rang at his home near Kenaston, Sask.
It was a police officer calling to inform Kerpan that his 25-year-old daughter, Danille, had died in an accident on Highway 11. The accident involved a drunk driver.
In January, a Saskatoon man was sentenced to four years in prison for causing the fatal crash.
Danille Kerpan is just one of the 59 people who died in crashes involving alcohol in 2014.
SGI has just released its lengthy annual report on traffic accidents in Saskatchewan.
The report showed that the total number of accidents involving alcohol is the lowest it has been in five years, but the number of fatal accidents involving alcohol has not followed that trend.
In fact, 17 more people died in crashes involving alcohol in 2014 than in 2013.
Tougher penalties brought in
In June 2014, SGI brought in tougher consequences for impaired drivers.
Some of the changes included longer license suspensions and vehicle seizures. It also brought in zero tolerance for alcohol when it comes to drivers under the age of 19.
The changes were made in response to recommendations made by a committee on traffic safety that looked specifically at deaths on Saskatchewan roads.
Back in 2013, Statistics Canada data showed Saskatchewan had the worst record for impaired driving of all the provinces.
Whether those tougher consequences have had an impact won't be known until the next set of statistics come out — in 2017.

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- Washington Gov. Jay Inslee on Tuesday proposed additional spending to address overcrowded prisons, cover wildfire costs and upgrade technology to aid small businesses.
The supplemental budget the Democratic governor unveiled has about $200 million more in spending, including $8.2 million in response to a settlement that requires the state to expand mental health services for children. The proposal comes six months after he approved a $33.6 billion two-year state budget.
Inslee said the state doesn't currently face a budget shortfall but steady economic growth is not likely to keep up with growing expenses as the state heads toward the 2015-2017 biennium.
"Holding steady this year will allow us to prepare for the next year when the situation and the task before us will be greater," he said.
Nearly two years ago, the Washington Supreme Court ruled that the state is not fulfilling its constitutional duty to pay for basic education and is relying too much on school districts to raise extra dollars through local levies. The justices want to see the Legislature pay for previously adopted education reforms and proof of yearly progress toward completing the work by 2018. Inslee's budget office has estimated those costs at about $5 billion over the next few years.
The budget that passed earlier this year added $1 billion to the state's education system.
Inslee said that to address increases in the number of people receiving state services, increases in student enrollments and other costs, the state will need to take additional steps. While he stopped short of discussing general tax increases, he discussed the potential of closing tax exemptions and seeking greater efficiencies from state government.
"Our state will be faced with larger challenges that cannot be ignored, and we will need the Legislature in the next biennium to step up to the plate to solve these fundamental underlying problems with our fiscal condition in our state," he said.
Inslee said that some actions taken in both the two-year budget and supplemental budgets, such as a variety of fund transfers, are only short-term fixes.
"Next biennium, we will have to face the music," he said.
Sen. Andy Hill, a Republican from Redmond who is the chief budget writer for the Senate's Majority Coalition Caucus, said heading into a new session without a budget shortfall was good news. But he scoffed at the idea that new revenue would be needed in future years, saying lawmakers just need to prioritize spending.
"In a lot of ways, raising taxes is the lazy way out," he said. "If you've got a problem, it's very easy to raise taxes. The hard problem is when you dig in, you say how are we running government, how are we spending the money, how do we reprioritize that."
Inslee's budget proposal includes:
— $26 million for a one-year extension of two tax breaks intended to encourage private sector investment in high tech research and development.
—$13 million for technology infrastructure upgrades, including one meant to make it easier for small businesses to apply for permits and licenses.
—Nearly $11 million to cover wildfire costs from this summer and anticipated costs for spring 2014.
—$8.2 million to start implementation of a settlement from August, when the state agreed to make significant changes to the way it provides mental-health care to the most troubled children who qualify for Medicaid. A class-action lawsuit had argued young people at risk were being unnecessarily institutionalized. The settlement calls for intensive in-home and community-based care, and up to 6,000 children and youth under 21 will be served each year when the program is fully implemented.
—Nearly $7 million to increase prison capacity.
—$3 million for a new teacher mentoring program.

After winning the Republican presidential nomination with a win in Texas Tuesday night, Mitt Romney is ready to create "A Better Amercia." That's right Amercia.
A new iPhone app released by the Romney campaign Tuesday night misspells the word America. The "I'm with Mitt" app allows iPhone users to post pictures of themselves under 14 different slogans with one of them being: "A Better Amercia."
Users can then post the photo directly to Facebook or Twitter or email it to a friend.
The friend receives a message reading, "I'm with Mitt Romney in 2012. And here's a photo showing my support. Check it out!"
The typo has been mocked across the internet, trending on Twitter and with various photo posts on Tumblr.
One Twitter user wrote: "While #Amercia does have a nice ring to it, Romney's developers of 'his' app may want to begin looking for new jobs."
Another wrote: "Whew, I hear Mitt's updating that misspelled Amercia on his app. He's just going with Untied States now."
And one Twitter user kept it simple, writing, "AMERCIA TEH BUETIFLU."
A spokesman for the Romney campaign says a corrected app has been sent to Apple.
"Mistakes happen," Andrea Saul told MSNBC.

WASHINGTON — The top Environmental Protection Agency official in Texas has resigned over a two-year-old video circulated by Congressional Republicans of a speech in which he declared that the agency should hit polluters with its full powers, citing the Roman practice of crucifying enemies as a deterrent.
Al Armendariz, who oversaw federal environmental enforcement in five states, offered his resignation on Sunday in a letter to Lisa P. Jackson, the E.P.A. administrator, saying he regretted his comments and did not want to jeopardize the agency's mission. Senior agency officials had upbraided Dr. Armendariz, who holds a doctorate in environmental engineering, for what they called his "inappropriate and inaccurate" comments about the agency's enforcement policy.
Ms. Jackson accepted his resignation on Monday morning. It had become clear in recent days that Republicans intended to continue to use Dr. Armendariz's comments as ammunition in their continuing conflict with the Obama administration over environmental regulation.
"I respect the difficult decision he made and his wish to avoid distracting from the important work of the agency," Ms. Jackson said. "We are all grateful for Dr. Armendariz's service to E.P.A. and to our nation."
Although administration officials said that Dr. Armendariz's resignation was voluntary, he was left with little choice but to leave the agency to avoid further embarrassing President Obama, who is seeking re-election.Continue reading the main story
Senator James M. Inhofe, the Oklahoma Republican who has waged a vigorous campaign against what he calls the overzealous E.P.A. regulation under Mr. Obama, brought attention to the video posted on YouTube, of Dr. Armendariz speaking to local business and government leaders in 2010.
In the video, Dr. Armendariz discussed his approach to enforcing regulations on hydraulic fracturing in oil and gas extraction, acknowledging that his language might be "a little crude" but saying that it captured the deterrent effect he was seeking.
"It is kind of like how the Romans used to conquer villages in the Mediterranean — they'd go into a little Turkish town somewhere and they'd find the first five guys they saw and they'd crucify them," Mr. Armendariz said on the tape. "Then that little town was really easy to manage for the next few years."
He continued: "And so, you make examples out of people who are, in this case, not complying with the law. You find people who are not complying with the law and you hit them as hard as you can and you make examples out of them. There's a deterrent effect there."
Mr. Obama appointed Dr. Armendariz as regional administrator in late 2009. He had been a professor of environmental and civil engineering at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, a consultant to a national environmental group, a local activist and an industry chemical engineer.
Senator Inhofe said Dr. Armendariz's resignation was not enough. "After his revelation that E.P.A.'s 'general philosophy' is to 'crucify' oil and gas companies, it was only right for Administrator Armendariz to resign today — but his resignation in no way solves the problem of President Obama and his E.P.A.'s crucifixion philosophy," he said in a statement. He added that he would continue to investigate the agency's enforcement actions.
Environmental advocates said that Dr. Armendariz's departure was a loss for Texas. "The only people who will celebrate this resignation are the polluters who continue to foul Texas air and the politicians who serve those special interests," said Ken Kramer, director of the Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club.
Dr. Armendariz's biography has been removed from the E.P.A. Region 6 home page. His deputy, Samuel J. Coleman, is now acting administrator for the region, which includes New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and 66 tribal nations.Continue reading the main story

Jane Austen's House Museum gets poet-in-residence
A museum in the Hampshire home of author Jane Austen has received funding for a poet-in-residence.
Maura Dooley will conduct Austen-inspired workshops and readings as well as write her own poetry with a £14,500 grant from the Arts Council.
Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton will also arrange activities to tie in with the 200th anniversary of novel Mansfield Park.
Ms Dooley said she felt "truly honoured" to take up the role.
Austen wrote poems
She added: "Many people may ask, 'why a poet-in-residence at the home of such a novelist?'
"But Jane Austen wrote poems herself, often mentions the poets of her day in her letters and in the novels give her characters keen opinions of poetry.
"In Mansfield Park, Fanny looks out at the starlit night and remarks: 'Here's what may leave all painting and all music behind, and what poetry only can attempt to describe!'
"I will do my best to make that attempt."
The museum's education officer Annalie Talent said Ms Dooley brought "a wealth of experience as a published poet and tutor".
The museum ran a writer-in-residence programme with novelist Rebecca Smith in 2009-10.
Austen's novels include Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
Her poems include I've A Pain In My Head, When Winchester Races and Oh! Mr Best You're Very Bad.

Based on a short story by sci-fi master Philip K. Dick, Impostor holds considerable appeal for genre enthusiasts, who will instantly recognize trace elements of the Dick-based Total Recall and Blade Runner. Fortunately, derivative plotting doesn't detract from director Gary Fleder's capable handling of briskly paced action involving Spencer Olham (Gary Sinise), a weapons designer suspected of being an alien robot with an assassin's agenda. The year is 2079; Earth is at war with an alien race called the Centauri, and its dome-sealed cities are intensely monitored by the Earth Security Agency. A high-tech chase ensues between Olham and his ESA pursuer (Vincent D'Onofrio), testing the bond of trust between Olham and his physician wife (Madeleine Stowe). This marital subplot gives the film's twist ending additional impact, and Dick's recurring themes of lost identity and drug-altered reality are handled with adequate sophistication, while cool gadgetry and sharp visual effects compensate for the plot holes. --Jeff Shannon

TEACHERS from three Hounslow schools attended a glitzy awards evening at the same venue where the cream of British television were honoured days earlier.
Staff from Heathland, Lampton and St Mark's Catholic schools were rewarded last Thursday for the improvement made by GCSE students sitting their exams in 2007.
They were among 518 specialist schools invited to the ceremony at the British Academy of Film & Television Arts in Piccadilly, which hosted the television awards the previous Sunday.
However, none of them made the top 25 of specialist schools when it came to value-added scores, which measure how much pupils improve between joining the school and taking their exams.
The award ceremony was organised by the Specialist School & Academies Trust following the publication of its annual Educational Outcomes Report.
Lampton, which specialises in humanities, had a Jewson Value-Added score of 19, one of the highest in the country.
St Mark's scored five and Heathland achieved a rating of 15.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
The assumption has always been that I and my siblings own the property in equal shares, but this has never been spelt out in any formal document. If we were to agree that the shares should not be equal - on account of our different circumstances and needs (eg two of us each have 2 grown-up children, and our other sibling has no dependents), does this need to be put into a document?
Thanks for your reply. Happy to wait for an answer
Many thanks for your help

Furman survives a Citadel comeback, winning 76-71
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Kendrec Ferrara scored 27 points and pulled down 10 rebounds in leading Furman to a 76-71 win over The Citadel on Saturday night.
Both teams entered the game knowing the winner would break out of the cellar of the Southern Conference and Furman (7-12, 1-5) appeared most determined to leave The Citadel behind by taking a 39-25 lead into the half.
The Citadel (4-16, 0-5) regrouped near the middle of the second half and over the next eight minutes cut the Paladin lead to 62-58.
Furman allowed The Citadel to stay in the game down the stretch by missing some key free throws and the Bulldogs trailed 72-69 on a Brian White jumper with 17 seconds left.
A pair of free throws by Stephen Croone and William Gates in the final 12 seconds locked in the win for Furman.
Ashton Moore led The Citadel with 25 points.

Purchased under at tree in Loveland, CO on Memorial day, 2001. This was 4 year project built on weekends during the winters. I do not have time during the summer. I work at a race track... It was nearly 4 years to the day, when I 'brought it home'. Had it out and about for 2 years now (2007). That is equivelant to about 250 miles! I am proud to have done everything except for the exterior paint and body. I had such a great deal from a friend (Custom Paint & Design - Fort Collins), that I had to let him do it all. Help from my dad and brother. Just wanted a fun street car. My Roadrunner is very streetable, but not that fun to 'cruise around' in anymore. Especially at $6 per gallon and 4 mpg. I always loved the E-bodies. My ultimate street/fun E-body would have, in the end, had a 6-speed and A/C. Maybe a swift little 360 crate. Maybe a 426 Hemi crate... It still turned out to be a very cool car. My brother and dad thought I was kiding when I told them it was a driver. It is. Just not as often as I had hoped.
Looking into a 5.7 crate Hemi from Mopar... how cool... a modern "Hemi Barracuda"! Some great deals on crate motors in Denver, plus a lead on a supercharged 5.7 out of V.Gaines (NHRA Pro Stock driver) personal Ddoge Magnum.

BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- The head of the agency overseeing Boston's Big Dig highway project ordered a review of the entire highway system Wednesday after investigators looking into the fatal collapse of concrete ceiling slabs found 60 more questionable areas inside the same tunnel.
Initial inspections revealed dozens of signs of bolts loosening and other potential failures in the eastbound connector tunnel, part of the main route to Boston's Logan Airport, Turnpike Authority officials and the Big Dig project manager said.

By most measures, RSA Security should be sitting pretty. After all, its product category,security software,was identified by more VARs than any other product category as the fastest-growing part of their businesses, according to our 2003 State of the Market survey. Despite that, the company has missed Wall Street expectations in two of the past six quarters, while sales continue to struggle and losses mount.
Not for long, says Arthur Coviello, CEO of the Bedford, Mass.-based company. With an eye on rebuilding investor confidence, Coviello believes that whatever growth rate the market achieves in 2003, RSA will beat it by three to five percent, simply due to customer interest in security. In a recent interview, Coviello sets the record straight on whether security has been overhyped and where partners can make money with his company's products.
VB: With several of the top security companies struggling financially, I'm beginning to wonder if the market is overhyped. What do you think?
Coviello: It is absolutely a great market. But 110 percent of zero is still zero...A high priority when CIOs aren't spending a lot doesn't translate into a high growth rate. I think what's hot,and it's clear if you follow Symantec,is the antivirus stuff. Why? People are finally getting it with the sheer volume of attacks and viruses on their home and office PCs. The more subtle security, like the strong authentication products and Web access-management products we have, really requires a significant uptick in the rollout of Web-based applications and, ultimately, Web services. If we have to wait for those, [our growth is going to take some time%85Having said that, we bottomed out in Q1, and we have had sequential upticks in revenue since. The pipeline is building, we are seeing a slow,but steady,comeback to our business, and we are capturing new accounts.
VB: So you're still an optimist?
Coviello: I am hugely optimistic because the next wave of technology adoption will be to Web-enable existing applications. That's the story I am hearing from CIOs who have to make more out of what they have already invested in. That means Web-enabling Oracle, SAP, Siebel, etc. As they do that, they expose those applications to the public Internet. When they do that, there's going to be an incredible requirement for strong authentication and Web-access management, and we're going to clean up.
VB: What should solution providers be doinging at this moment?
Coviello: Exactly what I am doing: keeping a tight fist on expenses, being incredibly opportunistic, looking at the application areas, such as security, that will be a higher priority for customers, and tenaciously going after every bit of revenue they can. But they have to have focus. One of the things that I think we've done successfully since Q1 is strip down the product lines. We got rid of losers or places we thought the market just wasn't going to develop. And we focused on our three areas: authentication, Web access management/authorization and our development group, which is not so much a channel offering as it is an OEM offering. I also think that partners need to find the companies that they think are going to be winners.
VB: What does that mean for point-product vendors?
Coviello: I think VARs should look for fewer point-product vendors, fewer small vendors, that cannot add multiple products that are best-of-breed quality. Multiple products allow VARs to get follow-on sales and allow them to bundle two or three products into a single sale. We can offer that for our partners better than most, if not all, security companies.
I think the niche guys are going to die. I really do.

Chapter Five
Have you ever slept on your arm so when you wake in the morning you freak out when you feel an arm that isn't yours but it is, its just you don't have any feeling left in it to feel your own hand slapping it away? I woke up with that feeling streaming through my veins. Along with a burning sensation that crawled from my heart to the end of my fingers and the tips of my toes then up my spine and into my brain.
I could hear feint noises that whole week or day… my senses were so out of touch I didn't know if today was yesterday, last week or still today. The floor was still the ceiling as I clutched around for the nearest item to balance myself as I tried to stand. I couldn't figure out why gravity was working so hard at keeping me down until I realized I wasn't strapped down to the bed… I was just tucked in by some mother who had obsessive compulsive disorder and didn't want even a bed bug to breath under the covers.
If I had to guess it was at least five hundred degree's under the covers. My feet were cold but sweaty and after a little wiggling I freed my arms of the bed monster. I glanced around to find a pitcher of water, a cup and two pills lying on the bedside. Whoever it was holding me there didn't want me ill or didn't want me complaining. The pills were nothing big, just two Advil but I swallowed them without the water. I hate water.
A little while later, a long time wiggling out of the covers and some swear words in frustration and I was free. Though, instead of jumping out of the bed and running away, as if my body and intuition was telling me not to, I just sat up with my back against the wall and stared at the door, waiting for it to open itself.
It gave me time to think; think about what had happened before I had woken up. All I could remember was a van and two men. I couldn't remember if they were friends but if they were my enemies, I'd be dead right now. The reward for being a Spirit was being killed the first second a Hunter had the chance.
There was another bed in here, empty of course, but it spoke to me. Not literally but I got the sense that this was a place were people often sleep. The bed I slept in was messy because I had just spent the last twenty minutes trying to free myself but the bed across the room was messy for another reason. It was used.
By whom though, I haven't the slightest idea. My curiosity killed the entire cat society. I wanted to know who slept there, who slept in my bed, where I was, who was here with me, friend, foe and even if they were cute or not. Seriously, the thought of how cute they could be actually crossed my mind. I personally hoped I had been captured by some lunatic lady with five moles on her nose, I even hoped I had been caught by The Stalker and that's what she looked like… she… he… I instantly changed my mind.
Being caught by The Stalker… I don't want that. Last time The Stalker had me pay a visit I nearly died, especially when I called The Stalker a bonehead and spit at them. Never saw his or her face though, couldn't even identify the voice. I just knew The Stalker existed and after being population enemy number one, The Stalker had grown fond of me. The Stalker hated my complete existence for how bad I mad him/her look.
This kind of control has always been around. It makes the government feel a sense of control and leadership; it keeps the people happy and unaware. They kill a Spirit at the age of 13 and don't feel bad about it, instead they say he was plotting to kill people in some way or another and people are more than happy to discard him and blacklist his parents, guardians and pretty much his entire family.
I'm sure my family suffered greatly when I was diagnosed. The people now days are so brainwashed that you could tell them the sky was falling because a Spirit planted a bomb in the sky and they would run for a bomb shelter. They have no sense, they have no books to educate them and none of them ask why because they have been brainwashed for generations. That was an easy way to determine if people were Spirits. They would ask why from the minute they could speak.
Exaggeration of course but that's the only way to explain it.
Have you ever dropped a penny or some other thing-a-ma-jig down the heater vents and went to get it out but when you open up the vent and look inside you see a whole lot of stuff you've dropped in the passed and now you can't help but want to rip apart the vents and see what else is in there?
Or ever wondered how something works and you want to take it apart?
That is how I am, but with everything. I want to know why the sun is yellow and warm, I want to know why clouds turn grey and when they engulf the sky you seem sad, I'm far to curious says others, not other spirits just other people… inside the walls kind of people.
I wanted to know more than anything: Where am I? But most people would want to know that. I wanted to know everything behind that question. I wanted to know how it looked outside as well as inside. I wanted to know what the smells were and how the walls felt as you guided your hand on them while walking towards the next room. I had to know.

The Dance Centre presents Nicola Gunn
The Dance Centre presents the Global Dance Connections series
Nicola Gunn
Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster
Wednesday-Friday January 17-19, 2018 8pm
Scotiabank Dance Centre
677 Davie St, Vancouver
Piece for Person and Ghetto Blaster is a provocative muse on peace and conflict, moral relativism and the very function of art, inspired by an incident where a woman saw a man throwing stones at a sitting duck, and she yelled at him. The result is a gloriously off-kilter dissection of the excruciating realms of human behaviour, and a navigation of the moral and ethical complexities of intervention. Australia's Nicola Gunn is an irresistible performer, delivering a dizzyingly witty text littered with anecdotes, digressions and philosophical theory, at the same time performing non-stop choreography that shifts from the comically incongruous to the strangely affecting.
Presented with PuSh International Performing Arts Festival
Post-show artist talkback January 18
Duration: 70 minutes
This performance includes lasers, haze, and coarse language
$36 regular
$28 students
$26 Dance Centre members (code required)

Squarp's Pyramid sequencer just got a new firmware update with the prestigious versioning of 1.0. I've had mine now for almost a year and have seen a slew of software updates during that time. The new features in 1.0 include a new LFO MIDI effect. These LFOs can be chained together creating all sorts of possibilities.
There's also a ton of updates to how the screen behaves as well as chord learn, quick step edit, player tracking, and quick automation edit. All this adds up to more possibilities for an already feature-rich, dedicated sequencer.
I haven't had a chance to dive into the new PyraOS v1.0 (available at Squarp) yet, but I'll report on it as soon as I've had a chance to do some experimenting. For now have a look at the videos and documentation provided by Squarp. I'm continually impressed with how this small organization has responded to their customers and improved an already great device over time. Congratulations, Squarp!

What..what is that, what is that. That image... what? I'm scared. ;_; Human mind controlled by a hungry eye licking lizard...?
Another one of mine.
Gift I did for my old guild leader, and yes I realize the mouth and elbow bone are all wrong.
EDIT: And another, and another.
@Kyeri, at least you have the courage to post your drawings here, even if you don't like them^^
and that uhm fox..marmot..squirrel pet thingy looks kinda cute^^
btw, i need your help people
the artist of my avatar (well, at least of the full and unedited version of the pic from which i took my avatar) just made another version. now i'm unsure which one i should use^^
since they are also both great fanart, i think this may be the right thread to ask
Whole lotta female draenei, but few dudes! What the deuce. Hurr's my DK, relatively quick B/W job done in photoshop with only my mouse.
I've had a habit of making random chibi comics over the years.
This was back when mMagister's Terrace first went live. Someone didn't go to Dungeon Mob Orientation.
Aren't you glad AoEs are friendly fire disabled?
They're gonna run out of mineral names eventually.
I like the newer one, Sy
Best of 5 years!
thanks all, guess i'll take the blue one then^^
the newer is cooler... though none of them make sense... since the draenei have blue blood, they should get "bluer" when they blush... not red...
I want to have daughters... but if I end up having sons I'll raise them like this X3

Video Series: Exercises for Spondylolisthesis
Learn 3 Back Stretches and Exercises
Spondylolisthesis is more prevalent in people who already exercise and exercise hard: weight lifters, gymnasts, football players. The strain that some sports put on the body can severely affect the spine and perhaps lead to spondylolisthesis. However, having a vertebra that's slipped forward over another vertebra doesn't eliminate you from exercise in general. No, that spinal instability means that at an appropriate time and under medical guidance, you should exercise to strengthen and stabilize your spine.
There are several exercises and stretches generally recommended for people with spondylolisthesis (and you can get spondylolisthesis even if you aren't a weight lifter or a gymnast or a linebacker). These exercises focus on strengthening your core muscles because if those muscle groups are strong, they can better support your spine.
To help you, SpineUniverse has put together exercise videos showing what exercises to do for spondylolisthesis.
Here are a few important things to keep in mind:
- These videos are general guidelines. You should not do any of the stretches or exercises shown unless directed by your spine professional.
- As mentioned above, people with spondylolisthesis are predominantly athletes in strenuous sports. You probably won't be doing any tumbling passes or catching any passes for awhile, and that may be a difficult adjustment. You will most likely need to modify your exercise plan because of your pain. Your physician, physical therapist, or other spine professional will help you adjust your expectations within the context of your symptoms from spondylolisthesis.
- Don't push yourself too hard while doing the exercises; you don't want to injure yourself more. If you experience any pain or other symptoms (weakness, tingling, numbness, etc), please contact your spine professional immediately.

Posted on 01/04/2013 9:22:05 PM PST by SunkenCiv
Explanation: Get out your red/blue glasses and float next to Helene, small, icy moon of Saturn. Appropriately named, Helene is one of four known Trojan moons, so called because it orbits at a Lagrange point. A Lagrange point is a gravitationally stable position near two massive bodies, in this case Saturn and larger moon Dione. In fact, irregularly shaped ( about 36 by 32 by 30 kilometers) Helene orbits at Dione's leading Lagrange point while brotherly ice moon Polydeuces follows at Dione's trailing Lagrange point. The sharp stereo anaglyph was constructed from two Cassini images (N00172886, N00172892) captured during a close flyby in 2011. It shows part of the Saturn-facing hemisphere of Helene mottled with craters and gully-like features.

I kept my Red/Blue glasses from "Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" for a long time. But eventually threw them out.
Now that you mention it, I may have a pair I kept after "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader".

Tony just let me know that PaulD. is still waiting for wording from me for Issue 8. back in Feb, I posted my views on Issue 8 [1], which, to summarize, are that the WG should NOT issue any advice to schema authors to avoid pattern. If the WG really wants to say something, it should instead, issue advice to tool implementors that they need to fully support the schema spec :-) Seriously, tho, if the WG wants to say something to schema authors on this issue then I think someone who thinks that such adivce is a good thing should draft the wording. pvb [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xsd-databinding/2006Feb/0030.html CONFIDENTIAL OR PRIVILEGED: This communication contains information intended only for the use of the individuals to whom it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or exempt from other disclosure under applicable law.

If so, you could use Professional's "PDF from Web Page" feature to do just what you are specifiying. If you're on a Mac, you can save files to PDF format in most applications, via the print box. If you don't have any appropriate software, there are options online; I've never used any online PDF creation tools, but they may be worth investigating for this case. Otherwise, have you thought about something like Google Notebook? GN allows you to clip and save items online, and is also entirely searchable. Hope this helps!Jenniferhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-285718222503172945.post-66064653817901451402008-09-02T11:00:00.000-07:002008-09-02T11:00:00.000-07:00I enjoy reading your blog.

Sidney Gulick (1860–1945)
Minister, educator, and writer Dr. Sidney Gulick was a third-generation missionary whose service in Japan led to a lifelong commitment to improving Japanese-American relations. Born in the Marshall Islands, Gulick was educated in the United States and graduated from Dartmouth. After earning a master's degree from Union Theological Seminary in 1886, he was ordained a Congregational minister, and, upon his marriage to Clara Fisher, the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions sent the young couple to Japan.
In Japan, Gulick preached broad Christian doctrine and taught English, science, and other subjects. Learning Japanese, he observed the modernization of the Japanese economy, and, in numerous writings, sought to explain Japanese culture and character to an American audience. With his work in theology, this scholarship later earned him several honorary doctorates. Gulick also taught theology at Do-shisha University and at the Imperial University of Kyoto before returning to the United States for health reasons in 1913.
For the next 20 years, Gulick worked for the Federated Council of Churches, a multi-denominational, Protestant organization that promoted church unity and presented a religious perspective on public issues. Although Gulick served on numerous commissions, his primary concerns were immigration reform and fair treatment for the many Japanese who lived on America's West Coast. Under the terms of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907–1908, further immigration from China and Japan was prohibited, and Asian residents were declared ineligible for naturalization. In California, the Issei, or first-generation Japanese, were not allowed to own land, and there had been attempts to segregate the San Francisco schools. The popular press, supported by labor unions that feared economic competition, denounced the "yellow peril" in inflammatory terms.
After his quota proposal failed, Gulick worked for the broader peace movement, calling for disarmament and for US participation in the World Court. In 1926, he founded the Committee on World Friendship Among Children, hoping that good will among children would lead to cooperation among nations. He arranged a gift of more than 12,000 dolls for the children of Japan, with accompanying notes from American children.
In 1934, Gulick retired from the Federated Council of Churches, although he continued to write about peace even as the tensions between Japan and the United States grew. An idealist, Gulick had overemphasized immigration restriction as the cause of the conflict, and his experiences as a missionary had limited his understanding of Japanese imperialism. His was, however, a persistent voice opposing racial discrimination against the Japanese, and he hoped that, after the war, beneficial change would occur in both countries. Gulick died in 1945 at his daughter's home in Idaho.

Meet Cláudia Alende, the Megan Fox lookalike that's turning heads across the globe with her sizzling Instagram feed.
The 20-year old model from Parana insists that hers is more of an "all-natural" look, with over two hundred thousand Instagram followers, it's no secret that many admirers of the actress agree with her.
Cláudia first rose to prominence by competing in last year's Miss Bum Bum contest, a Brazilian contest that's sort of like "Miss America," but with more of a focus on butts.
She's also active on Twitter, but she's slinging real heat over on her Insta-feed.

A customer noticed that when the user hovered over their application name in the Start menu, the infotip that pops up includes their product name:
Contoso Professional Music Studio Deluxe 2010
Record and mix studio-quality music from your computer.
Contoso Professional Music Studio De...
|Fabrikam Chart 2.0
|Litware 2010
... but no other program on the Start menu included the product name in the description:

|Litware 2010
The customer compared their shortcut with the other ones but couldn't find anything that was telling Explorer, "Include the program name in the pop-up infotip, please."
Because the reason for the name being included in the infotip had nothing to do with the properties stored in the shortcut. The reason the name was included in the infotip is that the name was being truncated in the main display.
When an infotip is about to be displayed for a listview item, the listview sends a
LVN_ notification with a
NMLVGETINFOTIP structure. If the
LVGIT_ flag is not set, then the infotip is being displayed for a truncated item, and the
pszText is pre-filled with the full name. The program should then append its information to the existing text so that the full name is the first line of the infotip. On the other hand, if the
LVGIT_ flag is set, then the item text is fully-visible and you should just copy your desired description text into the
pszText buffer.
The customer was happy to get this information. Their designer wanted only the description to appear in the infotip, and now they know that they need to shorten the program name to make the name disappear from the infotip.

In the interests of being topic, this post describes one of the first Thanksgivings I spent with the Paulists and the very special day that came after it.
I'm kind of a four trick pony in the kitchen. As it happens, three of those tricks revolve around Thanksgiving Day, so I volunteered to cook again this year for the big Thanksgiving feast along with another student. We were the same duo that cooked the feast last year and we compliment each other well. I make the turkey, sweet potato casserole, and homemade cornbread stuffing; he makes the greens, mac and cheese, oatmeal cookies, corn pudding, and spiral ham. If you have been taking notes, you will notice that all of the food items listed are brown; even the inconvenient color of the "greens" is rectified by cooking them in grease and stirring in large quantities of ham.
Because dinner is at noon, we have to get up at 4:30 in order to put the turkeys in the oven. It has been tradition of mine to listen to Frank Sinatra during Thanksgiving prep, so after the turkeys are in the oven I put on the "Franks Thanks" playlist on my iPod and start on the homemade stuffing. The corn bread was made the day before so I get the rest of the ingredients together. My recipe calls for 2 cans of evaporated milk. This leaves me perplexed – if it's evaporated, shouldn't the can be empty? It's too early in the morning to ask that question, never mind the paradox of "non-fat" BUTTER-milk. I mean… you know… isn't butter essentially fat?
Mass is at 10, about 2/3 of the way into cooking preparations. We don't really have time to change into something more presentable, so we rush upstairs not completely covered in flour. My superior is presiding, and during his homily he reads a homily given one Thanksgiving by his good friend Joe Gallagher. After reading Joe's homily, my superior concludes with his own thanks – because he had already prepared a homily before he found Joe's, he would not have to write a homily for next Thanksgiving.
It made me think on how often, even during this service, most of my conversations with God center around asking for things in my life instead of thanking God for things. After trying to manually change the station in my head, I started hoping that at some point that the "gratitude" station will simply be "on" when I sit down with God instead of me having to constantly get up out of my chair to change the station.
Some relatives were in town and helped us out for the final push of cooking. To vary things up from the "beige" theme from last year, I made sure to include homemade cranberries… purple is close to brown, but is officially not brown. At noon for our prayer I read some text from one of my favorite theologians: Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1863.
After dinner, my mom and my sister headed up to my sister's house in Baltimore and I laid down for a much needed nap. Later that evening, I drove up to Baltimore to join them, leftovers in tow. When driving through downtown Baltimore, I noticed three older people walking on the sidewalk. My first impression was that they were homeless, but I didn't know for sure… I was thinking that maybe I should give them the food in my back seat. I didn't want to be presumptuous… I mean, have you ever asked a woman when her baby was due, only to have her tell you that she wasn't pregnant? I could see something similar happening here, so I didn't stop.
But that wasn't the real reason. I have a habit of keeping my "ministry/do-gooder" world separate from my "white-bred middle-class" world. In my mind, giving away the precious leftovers my family was expecting might have resulted in an unpleasant crash of those worlds. Granted, the big crash in my head probably only would have been a small bump, or even a happy merger. While some members of my family have experience with the disadvantaged, I'm not always comfortable in my role as "witness" – especially when turkey and pumpkin pie are at stake.
I was reflecting on that as I drove down the road, and I saw a row of more people huddled in blankets along the side of a building. I was moved again, and this time I was prepared to get over myself and offer the people on the street some food. That's when I noticed the "Best Buy" sign at the top of the building… they weren't homeless they were on line for a Black Friday sale! I drove past the crowd with a clear conscience.

Cambridge coach Rich Sweeney gave us a nice post-game interview following the team's big victory over Marion. It's always nice when a community rallies behind a winning team:
Bridget Cuddihy scored her first hat trick of the season and the Cambridge girls' soccer team is on its way to the Class C state semifinals after defeating Seton Catholic, 3-0, Saturday in Stillwater.
Cuddihy scored 15 minutes into the game from the top of the box with a shot into the side of the net. Cuddihy has 20 goals this season.
"She was on fire today, but the whole team was great today," said Cambridge coach Rich Sweeney.
Sweeney said the residents of Cambridge celebrated the girls' victory when they returned home after the win. Cambridge next plays Marion at 9:30 a.m. on Friday at Cortland in the state semifinals.
If you are wondering why we had only one line from the Burnt Hills' 4-0 win over Massena, you might want to call the school's Athletic Director to ask.

Coast Guard sets security zones for Republican Convention
The Coast Guard is formally establishing seven maritime security zones to protect the Republican National Convention and related activities in Tampa next month from such threats as a "stand-off attack weapon," like a missile, and even the potential for landing an "armed assault force" at a convention venue.
According to an official announcement set for publication Monday, pleasure and commercial vessels will be barred from the zones from August 25-31, unless they have permission or meet specific criteria. However, one thing people apparently won't be allowed to do in the security zones is engage in organized protest. (Take note, Greenpeace.)
"The Coast Guard considered establishing a waterside demonstration area but due to the proximity of the main venue area, the geography of the area in question, the associated threats to the convention, and the potential to interfere with law enforcement and security operations; the Coast Guard determined that establishing such an area would not be feasible," says the official notice set to appear in the Federal Register. "Recreational vessels authorized to enter or remain within the regulated areas may be subject to boarding and inspection of the vessel and persons onboard."
The filing also contains a fairly succinct description of what the feds consider the primary threats to the convention where Mitt Romney is expected to accept the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States.
Threats confronting the 2012 Republican National Convention assume two primary forms: homeland security threats and violent or disruptive public disorder. The 2012 Republican National Convention is expected to draw widespread protests by persons dissatisfied with national policy, foreign policy, and the Republican Party agenda. This politically-oriented event has the potential to attract anarchists and others [sic] persons intent on expressing their opposition through violence and criminal activity. The 2012 Republican National Convention also presents an attractive target for terrorist and extremist organizations.
Considerable law enforcement presence on land may render maritime approaches a viable alternative....Threats include the potential use of a small vessel to: (1) deliver a weapon of mass destruction; (2) launch a stand-off attack weapon; or (3) deliver an armed assault force.
The Coast Guard says the impact on commercial boat operators in the area should be minimal because they are expected to receive permission to continue their operations in at least some of the security zones.
