Environmental causes across the country saw defeat last night as voters from Maine to Colorado rejected anti-fossil fuel policies such as hydraulic fracturing restrictions and tar sands oil import bans.
Anti-fossil groups did see some victories on Tuesday night as three cities in Colorado passed restrictions on fracking and an Ohio city also voted to limit fracking. Other environmentalist attempts to harm the fossil fuel industry across the country, however, were stymied.
Frack 'em if you got 'em
Voters in Broomfield, Colo., narrowly rejected a proposal to put a five-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, by only a 13 vote margin — 10,253 residents voted for the ban and 10,266 voted against it.
The outcome essentially means that a slim majority of voters approve of the city council's agreement with the drilling company Sovereign which bound the company to abide strict air and water quality rules in order to drill in the county.
However, the anti-fracking group Our Broomfield said the oil and gas industry helped pro-fracking forces outspend them 25-to-1, adding that residents would come together to assess a new way forward after the defeat.
"No matter the outcome, we'll see what the next step is," said Nate Troup, a representative of Our Broomfield. "When you look at it, Our Broomfield didn't exist in April. We got this issue on the ballot, and that speaks to the strong community of support."
Fracking involves injecting water, sand and some chemicals into tight rock formations more than one mile underground. The injected fluids crack the rock formations and release oil and gas that was previously unrecoverable.
Environmentalists argue that fracking poses a threat to air and water quality. Fracking proponents say that drilling will bring in much needed economic growth and jobs. Banning the drilling practice would only serve to harm the local economy groups such as the Broomfield Balanced Energy Coalition and It's Our Broomfield, Too argue.
Fracking deja vu?
Youngstown, Ohio voters defeated yet another attempt to ban fracking on Tuesday night by nearly 10 percent. This is the second time this year that voters have defeated attempts to ban fracking — the previous attempt occurred in May and lost by nearly 14 percent.
The ban was heavily opposed by the oil and gas industry as well as union members who saw the ban as a "job-killer." The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 396 spent more than $74,000 opposing the ban, reports the Youngstown Vindicator.
"This is two-consecutive decisive victories in support of these [fracking] jobs and this investment," said Mike Chadsey, spokesman for the Ohio Oil and Gas Association.
However, fracking opponents must think the third time's a charm because they have showed no indication of giving up their campaign against the drilling technique.
"We'll continue on. It will be back in some form or another. We're not quitting. We're coming back," said Susie Beiersdorfer, with the anti-fracking Community Bill of Rights Committee.

Customer runs over tire shop employee
FAIRBANKS - A customer backed his minivan over a tire shop employee checking the pressure in the vehicle's tires.
Robert Inglis, 26, was rushed Saturday to Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. He was kept at the hospital for observation.
Inglis was checking the tire pressure on a minivan operated by Milenko Pavlovic, 74.
"The driver did not know he was back there, and he subsequently reversed over the guy," Officer Jim Gibson said.
The accident occurred at about 12:20 p.m. at the Third Avenue store.
Kayakers report shots
JUNEAU - Juneau police responded to a report of shots being fired Saturday afternoon at two kayakers near Bridget Cove.
As of Sunday evening, no one had been arrested and the investigation was continuing. The identities of the kayakers were unknown at presstime.
"(Juneau police) did make sure everyone was okay, and we tried to assist everybody," Juneau Police Department officer Kim Horn said. "They weren't able to locate anybody else in the area."
No one could be reached Sunday at the troopers' Juneau office. The Ketchikan dispatch center confirmed that troopers responded to the incident but had no further information.
The two kayakers - a man and a woman - were not injured. They fled to Sunshine Cove after the incident, according to Christine Tolman, who was at the beach.
"I talked to them for five minutes as they were getting their gear on," she said. "They were pretty shook up, and I would be shook up too. It was pretty scary."

Karlsson, Swedes book spot in world quarter-finalsby Rob Brodie / Ottawa Senators
Erik Karlsson helped ensure Sweden will be among the elite eight at the 2012 IIHF world hockey championship.
The Senators defenceman notched his third goal of the tournament Saturday as the Tre Kronor blanked Italy 4-0 at the Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm. With the result, Sweden clinched a berth in the quarter-final round at the worlds, which is set for Thursday.
If the Swedes (5-1-0) maintain their current second-place standing in Group S (Stockholm), they'll play that quarter-final at the Globe. The four matchups that day are split between the Swedish capital and Helsinki, with the Finnish city playing host to the semifinals next Saturday and the medal games the following day.
Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson, who's also wearing the 'C' for his homeland, and Karlsson drew assists on a goal by Marcus Kruger of the Chicago Blackhawks at the 5:13 mark of the opening period. Stefan Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings doubled the margin with 48 seconds left in the opening frame.
Karlsson found the back of the net on the power play at the 5:45 mark of the second, with Gabriel Landeskog of the Colorado Avalanche rounding out the scoring in the final period. Viktor Fasth earned the shutout for Sweden, which held a wide 42-19 edge in shots on goal.
It was the kind of result the Swedes needed after falling to Russia 7-3 on Friday.
Also Saturday, Senators prospect Stephane Da Costa scored the insurance goal in the third period as France stunned Switzerland 4-2 in the biggest upset yet at these worlds. For the French, the victory at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki was their first over the Swiss on any occasion in 12 years.
Meanwhile, Canada (5-0-1) continued to set the pace in Group H (Helsinki) by routing Kazakhstan 8-0 in Helsinki to clinch a quarter-final berth. Senators forward Kaspars Daugavins and Latvia saw their playoff-round chances take a big hit in a 3-0 loss to Norway, which moved past the Latvians into fourth spot in Group S.
Sunday update
Russia continued its winning ways at the 2012 worlds by blanking the Czech Republic 2-0 on Sunday in Stockholm. The Russians (6-0-0) continue to lead Group S, while the Czechs — whose roster includes Milan Michalek of the Senators — stand third (3-2-1).
In games Monday involving Senators players, Da Costa and France face off against Belarus in Helsinki (9:15 a.m. ET), while Daugavins and Latvia take on Denmark in Stockholm (10:15 a.m. ET).

What is your definition of 'Philosopher'? How is it useless? If its goal is to whine about the state of mankind, then I agree: it is useless. If, however, the philosopher's philosophy makes of him a uber-man, it would seem rather useful.
I would like to suggest that our minds are swamped by too much study and by too much matter just as plants are swamped by too much water or lamps by too much oil; that our minds, held fast and encumbered by so many diverse preoccupations, may well lose the means of struggling free, remaining bowed and bent under the load; except that it is quite otherwise: the more our souls are filled, the more they expand; examples drawn from far-off times show, on the contrary, that great soldiers ad statesmen were also great scholars. (de Montaigne)I think it better to say that the evil arises from their tackling the sciences in the wrong manner and that, from the way we have been taught, it is no wonder that neither master nor pupils become more able, even though they do know more. In truth the care and fees of our parents aim only at furnishing our heads with knowledge: nobody talks about judgement or virtue. When someone passes by, try exclaiming, Oh, what a learned man! Then, when another does, Oh, what a good man! Our people will not fail to turn their gaze respectfully towards the first. There ought to be a third man crying, Oh, what blockheads!' (de Montaigne)We readily inquire, Does he know Greek or Latin? Can he write poetry and prose? But what matters most is what we put last: Has he become better and wiser? We ought to find out not who understands most but who understands best. We work merely to fill the memory, leaving the understanding and the sense of right and wrong empty. Just as birds sometimes go in search of grain, carrying it in their beaks without tasting it to stuff it down the beaks of their young, so too do our schoolmasters go foraging for learning in their books and merely lodge it on the tip of their lips, only to spew it out and scatter it on the wind. (de Montaigne)Their pupils and their little charges are not nourished and fed by what they learn: the learning is passed from hand to hand with only one end in view: to show it off, to put into our accounts to entertain others with it, as though it were merely counters, useful for totting up and producing statements, but having no other use or currency. Apud alios loqui didicerunt, non ipsi secum [They have learned how to talk with others, not with themselves] (de Montaigne)Whenever I ask a certain acquaintance of mine to tell me what he knows about anything, he wants to show me a book: he would not venture to tell me that he has scabs on his arse without studying his lexicon to find out the meaning of scab and arse.All we do is to look after the opinions and learning of others: we ought to make them our own. We closely resemble a man who, needing a fire, goes next door to get a light, finds a great big blaze there and stays to warm himself, forgetting to take a brand back home. What use is it to us to have a belly full of meat if we do not digest it, if we do not transmute it into ourselves, if it does not make us grow in size and strength? (de Montaigne)If our souls do not move with a better motion and if we do not have a healthier judgement, then I would just as soon that our pupil should spend his time playing tennis: at least his body would become more agile. But just look at him after he has spent some fifteen or sixteen years studying: nothing could be more unsuited for employment. The only improvement you can see is that his Latin and Greek have made him more conceited and more arrogant than when he left home. He ought to have brought back a fuller soul: he brings back a swollen one; instead of making it weightier he has merely blown wind into it. (de Montaigne)And I loathe people who find it harder to put up with a gown askew than with a soul askew and who judge a man by his bow, his bearing and his boots. (de Montaigne)Learning is a good medicine: but no medicine is powerful enough to preserve itself from taint and corruption independently of defects in the jar that it is kept in. One man sees clearly but does not see straight: consequently he sees what is good but fails to follow it; he sees knowledge and does not use it. (de Montaigne).. since it was true that study, even when done properly, can only teach us what wisdom, right conduct and determination consist in, they wanted to put their children directly in touch with actual cases, teaching them not by hearsay but by actively assaying them, vigorously molding and forming them not merely by word and precept but chiefly by deeds and examples, so that wisdom should not be something which the soul knows but the souls very essence and temperament, not something acquired but a natural property. (de Montaigne)But in truth I know nothing about education except this: that the greatest and the most important difficulty known to human learning seems to lie in that area which treats how to bring up children and how to educate them. (de Montaigne)Socrates and then Archesilaus used to make their pupils speak first; they spoke afterwards. Obest plerumque iss discere volunt authoritas eorum qui docent. [For those who want to learn, the obstacle can often be the authority of those who teach] (de Montaigne)Those who follow our French practice and undertake to act as schoolmaster for several minds diverse in kind and capacity, using the same teaching and the same degree of guidance for them all, not surprisingly can scarcely find in a whole tribe of children more than one or two who bear fruit from their education.Let the tutor not merely require a verbal account of what the boy has been taught but the meaning and substance of it: let him judge how the boy has profited from it not from the evidence of his memory but from that of his life. Let him take what the boy has just learned and make him show him dozens of different aspects of it and then apply it to just as many different subjects, in order to find out whether he has really grasped it and made it part of himself, judging the boys progress by what Plato taught about education. Spewing food up exactly as you have swallows it is evidence of a failure to digest and assimilate it; the stomach has not done its job if, during concoction, it fails to change the substance and the form of what it is given. (de Montaigne)The profit we possess after study is to have become better and wiser. (de Montaigne)Nor is it enough to toughen up his soul; you must also toughen up his muscles. (de Montaigne)Teach him a certain refinement in sorting out and selecting his arguments, with an affection for relevance and so for brevity. Above all let him be taught to throw down his arms and surrender to truth as soon as he perceives it, whether the truth is born at his rivals doing or within himself from some change in his ideas. (de Montaigne)As for our pupils talk, let his virtue and his sense of right and wrong shine through it and have no guide but reason. Make him understand that confessing an error which he discovers in his own argument even when he alone has noticed it is an act of justice and integrity, which are the main qualities he pursues; stubbornness and rancour are vulgar qualities, visible in common souls whereas to think again, to change ones mind and to give up a bad case on the heat of the argument are rare qualities showing strength and wisdom. (de Montaigne)In his commerce with men I mean him to include- and that principally- those who live only in the memory of books. By means of history he will frequent those great souls of former years. If you want it to be so, history can be a waste of time; it can also be, if you want it to be so, a study bearing fruit beyond price. (de Montaigne)The first lessons with which we should irrigate his mind should be those which teach him to know himself, and to know how to die
and to live. (de Montaigne)Since philosophy is the art which teaches us how to live, and since children need to learn it as much as we do at other ages, why do we not instruct them in it? (de Montaigne)Any time and any place can be used to study: his room, a garden, is table, his bed; when alone or in company; morning and evening. His chief study will be Philosophy, that Former of good judgement and character who is privileged to be concerned with everything.(de Montaigne)For among other things he had been counseled to bring me to love knowledge and duty by my own choice, without forcing my will, and to educate my soul entirely through gentleness and freedom. (de Montaigne)Learning must not only lodge with us: we must marry her. (de Montaigne)
This is because we live in a era where science is in its infancy and we're still stuck to pre-science spiritual traditions which are now inherently flawed and obsolete in most forms due to the new found understanding and self awareness brought to us by science.

Pimlico is a grid of largely residential streets filled with white stucco terraces near Victoria Station. It was built as the southern extension of Belgravia, although it never achieved the grand reputation of the latter area.
Thomas Cubitt began work on Pimlico in 1825. Previously the area was marshland, primarily used for growing vegetables.
Martin Rea and his fellow Molly Maguires come from Roscommon in Ireland. Between 1801 and 1923 the whole of Ireland was united with Britain, though not successfully: the period is marked by campaigns for Home Rule, by conflict between Protestants and Catholics, by economic troubles, and by the devastating Great Famine of 1845-1852.
Although Ireland had fallen under British control before the nineteenth century, the Act of Union, brought about in response to the Irish rebellion at the end of the eighteenth century, formalised this subjugation. Instead of quelling rebellious feelings in Ireland, the Union merely strengthened Irish nationalism, leading to many campaigns for Home Rule.
The question of Irish independence was complicated by the religious rift between Protestants and Catholics, as Ireland's Protestants stood to lose power and security if Protestant England no longer defended their interests. The Catholics resented paying tithes to the Protestant Church of Ireland, and wanted a return to the Church of Rome alongside political independence.
Anti-British feelings in Ireland were intensified during the Great Famine, when the effect of the collapse of potato harvests was exacerbated by British neglect. While thousands were dying of hunger, the British government continued to export food from Ireland; relief efforts were feeble and ill-judged, and the government refused to let other countries deliver aid as it would reflect badly on Britain. When the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire offered £10,000, Queen Victoria requested that he send only £1,000 as she herself had offered just £2,000. The British government under Lord John Russell blockaded Irish ports to prevent Ottoman aid from reaching the Irish people. Incidents such as these, coupled with the trauma of the famine, created desperate, vengeful men such as the Molly Maguires of Devil's Acre, and plunged Ireland into the years of violence and division from which she is only just emerging.
Savile Row is a road in London's Mayfair, famous for its men's tailoring shops. The road itself dates from the 1730s, and is the origin of the word 'bespoke' (meaning a suit which was to 'be spoken for' by a particular individual). It still attracts clients from around the world; earlier customers include Winston Churchill and Lord Nelson.
The Reform Club is a gentlemen's club in Pall Mall in central London. Founded in 1832, it has admitted female members since 1981. The club building, which dates from 1841, was designed by Charles Barry in the style of an Italian palazzo.
The club was originally formed as a meeting place for members of the Liberal Party, though it has since lost its party political associations. Famous members of the club include Winston Churchill, E. M. Forster, Henry James, Lord Palmerston, William Makepeace Thackeray, and H. G. Wells. The club appears in Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days as the place in which the bet that sets off the voyage takes place.
The Connecticut river is 407 miles long, flowing from the Connecticut Lakes in New Hampshire south to Long Island Sound in Connecticut. The last sixty miles of the river is tidal, and thus prone to flooding; it also carries a lot of silt, which has built up in Long Island Sound, rendering it notoriously difficult to navigate. In 1936 a major flood caused 171 deaths, destroying the homes of 430,000 people.
Liège is a city in Belgium. Emerging out of the Napoleonic Era, which had seen the city pass through French and Dutch hands, by 1853 Liège was a thriving industrial city, one of Europe's first steel-making centres. The city is situated near Belgium's borders with Germany and the Netherlands, in the French-speaking Wallonia region.
From late medieval times, Limehouse, on the banks of the Thames, was known as a busy port area. From 1820 a canal system connected Limehouse to the rest of Great Britain, further increasing its importance. Casual ship crews could be engaged, and ships loaded and unloaded for overseas trade. Martin's companions could hope to find work as casual dockers, unloading anything from a canal boat of coal from the north of England to a clipper full of tea from India.
Sinop, or Sinope, lies midway along Turkey's Black Sea coast, at its most northern point. The attack described here happened on 30 November 1853.
Newgate meat market lay in the City of London, between Newgate Street and Paternoster Row, roughly where the London Stock Exchange and Paternoster Square are now.
Women regularly worked in the market. In July 1841, Blackwood's magazine commented:
It would scarcely be credited that, in splendid London, women are subjected to various kinds of severe and repulsive toil .... For example, the porterage of meat at the wholesale markets, as Newgate and Leadenhall, is performed by women, many of them old. You will see these wretched creatures stagger under the weight of a side of beef, or having an entire sheep upon their heads, conveying their burdens to the butchers carts, drawn up in the vicinity of the market ...
See here for more quotes about the market.
The siege of Sebastopol (or Sevastopol), September 1854 – September 1855, was one of the most important theatres of conflict in the Crimean War.
Sebastopol lies on the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula in the Black Sea, to the west of Yalta. In the autumn of 1854 British, French and Turkish forces attacked the Russian-held town, though they made little progress until April 1855 when they were able to bring in reinforcements. By summer 1855 the Russians were suffering losses of up to 3,000 a day under the Allied bombardment. Towards the end of August, the French General de Mac-Mahon captured a vital redoubt, leaving the Russians unable to defend themselves. They were forced to withdraw from Sebastopol, paving the way for an Allied victory. More than 200,000 men died during the siege. A young Leo Tolstoy fought there, publishing his Sebastopol Sketches to record his experiences.
The strategic importance of Sebastopol was reinforced during the Second World War, when the port was besieged again, from 1941 to 1942. This time the Germans besieged the city, and the Russians eventually lost it again, moving the conflict on towards Stalingrad.
The Oval is a cricket ground in Lambeth, South London. The land is still owned by the Duchy of Cornwall, the property of the Prince of Wales. In 1845 Surrey County Cricket Club applied to lease the land as a cricket ground; it had previously been a market garden. For many years the grass on the cricket pitch was cropped short by allowing sheep to graze on it. The practice ended when the club introduced horse-drawn lawn mowers.
The first Test match in England was played at the Oval, in 1880, between England and Australia.

foreach array - delete current row ?by JockoHelios (Scribe)

JockoHelios has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
UPDATE - Wow. Sorry for not responding to all who responded here. I'm sorely tempted to copy a thank-you to each, but that smacks of spam and insincerity so I'm not sure I want to do this. Up-Votes were done, though, so your contributions were not ignored.
My one defense is that you gave me so much to think about and work through that I put in a lot more time than usual to work the concepts into my code :) Successfully, too. I love it when that happens.Original text
I'm running through an array via foreach, and as it runs through the array I'd like to be able to delete rows based on specific content. I've found reference material showing how to do this with a hash, but not with an array.Changing over to a hash would add to the complexity. I need to keep the rows in the same order as they are read in from the file, and don't otherwise need hash features for this data.
Is it possible to just delete the current row from an array when looping through it without setting up a counter and splice operation ? That's the only way I can see of accomplishing this, and I suspect this problem could be solved in a more concise way.I can clear the row with a regex substitution, but this leaves a blank row in place and the dreaded uninitialized value warning rears up...

Wish me luck
Ok so the big boss tells me he needs to see me in his office after lunch. I ask him if I need to bring tissues. He looks at me like I am crazy. I am pmsing this week and when that happens I cry if I get upset. So after lunch I ask our Hr lady if she prepared my check. She looked at me like I was crazy. I thought for sure the lay offs were coming. So I go in his office and ask if I should close the door he say yes. So I say UHOH. Now I have a pretty good and open relationship with him and we can talk about anything. He told me there is promotion opening up at his wifes store and he thinks I should interview for it. He suggested me I am so excited. All of the changes I made last year in growing myself and it has all paid off. I still do have to interview but just knowing he thinks I am ready is an honor in itself. I just wanted to share this with someone but I can't tell any of my coworkers yet so you guys are the next best thing.
That is such a feather in your cap!!!! I am thinking and sending positive energy to you!!!!! I am sure that you are highly recommended. I will be thinking of you and not only hoping the best but claiming that position for you. Take Care.

Amazon.com Review
Amazon Exclusive: A Q&A with Sam Landstrom
Question: MetaGame takes place in a futuristic world where biotech, nanotech, gaming, and "religion" merge to blur the lines between fantasy and reality. How did you dream up the story line?
Sam Landstrom: Funny you should say "dream," because that's literally how it started. One night I had a vivid dream in which I was a devil in a ghetto apartment complex and was being hunted by the police. The whole idea took off from there. Gradually, I built a world around that single scene. For months, I fleshed out the world in a private blog with over 60 posts with titles like "Fashion," "Economics," "Religion," "Lingo," "Work," etc. I continually worked to hook these together logically, keeping in mind that one aspect of this futuristic society would influence the others. Once I felt I had a reasonable world, I hung a plot outline on it (including my dream scene). As I wrote the book, the world continued to evolve; in fact, the present book has only a slight resemblance to those early blog posts I created two years ago.
Question: You've previously worked in a lab programming robots to help sequence the human genome. Did this experience and background knowledge play a role in the story?
Sam Landstrom: At a high level, yes. Back in the lab, before I got interested in software, I wanted to be a genetic engineer. I felt then, as I do now, that biotechnology will eventually become ubiquitous in our lives and so I wanted to help design that future. At the same time, I wondered what exactly that future would look like. To me, being able to engineer the living is an incredibly powerful technology that can do wonderful things for humanity, but, at the same time, elicits in me a primal dread... just the sort of stew I like for fiction! Obviously, I'm not the only one with such an outlook, since biotech is a sci-fi staple.
I don't include lab techniques or techs from that job because they would be far obsolete in the future. Heck, they're completely obsolete now, and it's only been 10 years! Given this, the technology I wrote about is a wild extrapolation, an entertaining guess, really. About all I tried to convey in the book from my time at the lab, in a literal sense, was the genuine passion and intelligence I observed in those who work in this field.
Question: What research did you do while writing MetaGame?
Sam Landstrom: Most of the research I did was related to confirming that the future technologies presented in the book are even theoretically possible and how they might be implemented. For example, how can a machine read and write to a person's mind? With difficulty, as it turns out! Luckily for my readers, I only used this research to color my descriptions and confine the scope of these future technologies, not to provide in-depth specifications. Thanks to this balance, I think MetaGame gets to stay in the hard sci-fi category while remaining, first and foremost, an entertaining book.
Question: What authors or books have influenced your writing?
Sam Landstrom: Lucky for me, the public school system forced me to read 1984, Brave New World, and Fahrenheit 451. These books were more about sociology and philosophy than technology, and they taught me that sci-fi did not necessarily require aliens or spaceships.
In addition to these stand-alone books, I really enjoyed the Dune series by Frank Herbert because he built up a fully realized universe that included components of religion, politics, economics, and even ecology. Dune had a big influence on MetaGame.
I have heard from several readers that MetaGame shares elements with Neal Stephenson's work. This might not be a coincidence since I read The Diamond Age and Snow Crash before writing MetaGame. Good stuff.
Question: MetaGame fits solidly in the sci-fi/cyberpunk genre, but also weaves in philosophy and thriller writing. Have you considered trying your hand at other genres in the future?
Sam Landstrom: Yes, in fact I'm writing a fantasy novel now. Magic, monsters, infinite dimensions, a high school kegger.. You get the idea--not hard sci-fi, but entertaining and, hopefully, a bit thought provoking.
Question: Have you always wanted to write? What other careers have you pursued?
Sam Landstrom: I've wanted to write off and on over the years. When I was really young (like 8-9 years old) I pumped out books; however, these quick reads emphasized pictures over writing. The art sported a lot of guns blazing, swords swinging, blood spraying, heads flying through the air, etc. I went to a hippie school that wasn't big into formal education. I remember my older cousin reading one of my books, after which he told me, "You need to start a sentence with a capital letter and end with a period." First of all, I didn't know what he was talking about and second, who cares? I didn't understand why he wasn't praising me for the awesome action scenes. I mean, you just didn't see that kind of stuff in books I found in the library, much less at school! I like to think my writing has improved since those days, although my grammar could still use some work. Thank God for good editors.
As an adult, I've had many different career interests I considered pursuing, including underwater archaeology and neurology. When I started college, I actually went in with the intention of becoming a doctor, but quickly discovered I was more into the science of medicine than the actual application of it, hence the degree in molecular biology. Aside from working in software (my current career) and in biotech, I spent a lot of time on the water as a deck hand, first on a passenger ferry, and then on a small cruise ship in Alaska. I was really considering a life at sea. However, it turns out I was ill suited to the regimen of a sailor's job. Captains were not impressed with what I thought were creative solutions to problems, nor with me setting my own priorities.
Question: What's next for you?
Sam Landstrom: I'm sort of writing three books at once--the fantasy novel I mentioned earlier, as well as a prequel and sequel to MetaGame. I've made the most progress on the fantasy, so that's what I'll likely finish first. On the side, I also started developing a smart-phone application that is a virtual boyfriend for young women. I hope to make him handsome and charming, even as he speaks in a computer-generated Stephen Hawking voice. I've heard you can get a long way with flattery, so I'm hoping a phone can successfully use the same strategy. I'm not sure when I'll finish that, if ever. By the way, I'd make a virtual girlfriend too, but giving men what they want through a phone (or any media) is too easy.

Shake it Up
Last weekend, thrill-seeking Memphian Felicia Robinson was injured while taking a spin on the Twist and Shout, a Wild Mouse-style roller coaster in Hot Springs, Arkansas. According to reports, Robinson was having a lovely time until centrifugal force threw her 10 to 15 feet. There's no record of Robinson's words before being thrown from the Twist and Shout, but we suspect they were "Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh [SCREAM]!"
Crap on, Crap off
For going above and beyond the call of doodie, Fly on the Wall would like to present Channel 5 news with this month's "Howard Hughes/Cleanliness is next to craziness" award. In mid-July, TV-5's "Secret Swab" reporter Jason Miles took the cameras into public restrooms in restaurants all over town. Guess what they found? Fecal matter! Although we're thrilled that our television stations are so concerned about the public's health, we can't help but wonder what they thought they would discover in a room commonly referred to as "the crapper." We also have to confess Fly on the Wall has felt bad for Channel 5 reporter Miles ever since we saw him showing viewers how to drape bathroom tissue over public toilet seats. Being on television is supposed to be glamorous, isn't it?
Anti-Semitic Times
The Commercial Appeal also deserves to be recognized for excellence in unconscionable political reporting. A front-page story July 31st contained a number of unsubstantiated claims, and brazenly anti-Semitic remarks, about 9th District congressional candidate Steve Cohen, including this hateful comment by Julian Bolton: "The only reason [Cohen] wants to join [the Congressional Black Caucus] is that he wants to get money for Israel." Memphis blogger The Freedonian nailed it when he responded, "Imagine for a moment that Steve Cohen had said, 'Don't elect Julian Bolton. He only wants to send money to Africa.'" And sadly, that's about the size of it.

MANHATTAN — Here's a voicemail Bruce Weber probably didn't receive upon taking the job at Kansas State.
Hey, Bruce. It's Bill Self. Just wanted to say welcome to the neighborhood … can't wait to catch up. Hope you'll come over for dinner sometime, and hey, can I help you move that couch?
Don't mistake that for animosity, Self says, because there are no hard feelings between the two coaches whose careers have closely intertwined. Weber succeeded Self at Illinois, there was that little funeral incident, and now he's the coach at a rival school. If they're not bosom buddies, well, so what?
"Bruce and I don't talk," Self said. "We don't call each other and ask each other how you're doing, do your guys like you, what are you going to run? That'll never happen. That doesn't happen with anybody."
Self said he learned long ago that it's impossible to replace a successful coach without stepping on a few toes, and he probably did the same thing when he took over for Roy Williams at Kansas. Anything that happened at Illinois, Self said, will have no bearing on Tuesday's Sunflower Showdown, the first for Weber as coach of the Wildcats.
As for their relationship now?
"Cordial," Self said. "Fine. I have no issues with Bruce."
If rivalries take on the personalities of the coaches involved, this marks a new era for the Sunflower Showdown. With Frank Martin coaching the Wildcats, the rivalry was hot enough to peel paint. It was two coaches who could yell and scream for 40 minutes and slap each other on the back when it was over. It was rough and rowdy, loud and occasionally bloody.
Now it's cordial. And fine.
The reception won't be as cordial when KU visits Bramlage Coliseum, where the Jayhawks have lost twice in the past five years. The atmosphere in Manhattan is one aspect of the rivalry that won't change with a different coach on the sideline, senior Travis Releford said.
"We tell the freshmen how crazy it's going to be and to not let the fans get to you," Releford said. "It's going to be the next best environment to ours, so we're expecting all type of crazy chants, the crowd really getting into it."
Weber has done his part to keep the rivalry stoked. The Wildcats (15-2) are ranked No. 11 entering Tuesday's game with a chance to claim sole possession of first place in the Big 12 with a victory.
Weber's start is reminiscent of his transition at Illinois, where he took the Illini to the Sweet 16 in his first year and played for a national title a year later.
"It's not an easy thing," Weber said. "I've been fortunate to have a good nucleus, both at Illinois and here also. I think at Illinois it probably took a little longer to win all of them over, but once we did, mid-January, we went on an unprecedented run that season through the next season."
The ability to take a good situation and keep it going is one thing Self admires about his Sunflower Showdown counterpart.
"I think he's been good at that, probably much better than what I was when I came here, to be real candid with you," Self said.
K-State's start is such that Weber can talk about playing for first place when KU visits Bramlage Coliseum. That won't be a major talking point for Self, not that first place wouldn't be a nice thing to have.
"I won't stress that, but he's right," Self said. "Unless we tie, the winner will be 5-0 and the loser will be 4-1."
The rivalry will take on even greater meaning if first place is at stake when the Wildcats visit Allen Fieldhouse in February. In that regard, Self is actually pulling for his new rival, at least to a point.
"I don't mind our league being good, and I certainly don't mind K-State being good," Self said. "I just don't want them to be good at our expense."

Check out this story looking at the 15 things guys do that turn women off.
On the author's list: getting too drunk, tickling us, guiding our hands to their package, bad hygiene, playing video games …
What would be on your list?
Check out this story looking at the 15 things guys do that turn women off.
On the author's list: getting too drunk, tickling us, guiding our hands to their package, bad hygiene, playing video games …
What would be on your list?
as far as getting to the package, we both know U girls sometimes need help getting to where we want U to go. just as sometime we need help getting to where U want us to go!
My web filter blocked the site, grrr.
Is butt-slapping on there?
Relying too much on social media as means of communication.
What happened to personal contact or a phone call?
I'm BLOCKED as well….was "I don't submit to forceable massage" on there???
A lot of the things listed don't turn me off. I'm exactly opposite of 3 – I've actually stopped dating/talking to guys who wanted to talk on the phone. *shrugs*
Since I do prefer text/IM to phone calls, I'd add bad grammar/typos to the list – that's like poor hygiene in my book.
Getting too drunk would be on my list. I'd add being too possessive, and having an old fashioned (read: sexist) attitude towards women. Also being condescending, or a know-it-all.
I'm no dummy… I think I can find the package by myself WHEN and IF I want my hand to get there. Lol.
I don't mind PDA at all. I don't mind flatulence or video games unless it is ALL the time. Then it gets annoying. Bad hygene is a BIG no no. Definate deal breaker.
I would have to say that split personalitites is a big turn-off. When he/she acts like a great guy/girl when its just you and him/her and then gets around his/her friends and acts like an idiot is what I hate the most. Biggest deal breaker for me.
spitting …. gross.
Some of these are obvious, and others are just what make men, well, men. I'd like to see the list for the women.
Flatulation for one, come on, everybody does it. That really wouldn't be a huge turn off for me. Obsessive texting? My husband never texts. He hates it. I'm actually happy when I get one. Video games? My husband is currently sitting 2 feet away from screaming obscenities at the tv in Socom. Bonus, I'm sitting 2 feet away from him laughing hysterically at a laptop. When I'm done, I'll probably even play with him. All that is, is finding a game you both love. I think women tend to look too far into guys and the way the act/things they do. In fact, if my husband were to read that he'd probably say some of the same about me (texting? guilty.)
My pet peeves in men (and women as well), definitely the cursing. I can't stand an over the top potty mouth. Maybe because I'm a mom. *shrugs shoulders*, spitting..yuccckkk especially when there are accompanying sound effects, and spelling issues. I can't stand when people spell things that they should know correctly. Sure, there are typos, but before – b4 really? Ugh.
Any man that uses texting as a means of communicating instead of picking up the phone does not get another chance with me.. Also, stank feet and breath are a deal breaker..I also cant stand when a guy expects u to be thin but doesnt take care of themselves, sorry but a beer gut is NOT attractive.
'I also cant stand when a guy expects u to be thin but doesnt take care of themselves…' – If you meet and you're think and he's not, there shouldn't be any expectation. Now if you're both chubby and he tries to get you to lose weight while he remains a slob, that's different. Personally, I don't think weight has anything to do with a persons ability to be a good partner.
Off-topic – 15 things that turn us (men) off:
1. Low self-esteem
2. Trust issues
3. Nail biting
4. Man hands
5. Controlling
6. Annoying girlfriends
7. Male friends that are ex-boyfriends
8. Flatulence
9. Whiling/baby voice
10. Vanilla in the bedroom
11. Loud in public
12. Gossiping all the time
13. No sense of humor
14. Cursing all the time
15. Getting too drunk
Catherine cant speak for mortal men but what turns a god off?
1 fat(in the stomach area or muffin top)
2. a flat derriere
3. drunkeness
4. stanky breath
5.horrible haricut
6. being too loud
7 too materialistic
8. too many kids
9. girlfriends having too much influence
10 partying all the time!
#9 should be WHINING.
Was "Not caring what turns us off" on there?
So many things could make my list – it's a surprise I ever found someone to marry!
Here is my list:
1. Ugly feet
2. Overweight and smelly
3. Dorky clothes/shoes
4. Messy and unorganized
5. Bad with money
6. Bad breath
7. Facial Hair (although my husband has grown a beard and I hated it! Luckily he shaved it off).
8. Dirty fingernails
9. doesn't exercise
10. Bad teeth
But really – I am not picky!
@11 Goose – that was not all that was a typo…LOL
"If you meet and you're think and he's not"….I think you meant THIN
@12 Ok, while I'm at it…UKMA – what's a "haricut"??
and "drunkeness" should be drunkenness…but I'll let that one go :)
Yes, spelling deficiency is a major turn-off! But thanks for the laugh!!
One snot rocket, just one and you are done! Gentlemen always have a hankie or at least a tissue, maybe a napkin.
The biggest turnoff? A man who refers to himself as a god and the rest of us as mere mortals.
Thanks, mom.
"Gentlemen always have a hankie"
My grandfather has a hankie.
I find it a total turn-off when guys say that everything is "gay". As in "No I won't wear a scarf even though it's -15 degrees. That's gay".
Guys who talk about themselves in the third person totally creep me out.
Goose never does that, Shannon…that's gay.
and simply put shannon, goose would know!LOL!!!
When guys talk to you while picking food off of the back of their teeth with their finger. Gross!

Alayna Markwordt
April 25, 2012
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Alayna Markwordt, a senior attacker on the 13th-ranked Ohio State women's lacrosse team, was named to the list of 25 Tewaaraton Award nominees, released Wednesday by the Tewaaraton Foundation. The 12th annual Tewaaraton Award finalists (five women, five men) will be selected and honored May 31 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., with the winner being announced that evening.
The women's award nominees include players from 17 schools, including six from American Lacrosse Conference squads, and representatives from 16 of the current top 20 teams in the April 24 IWLCA Division I Poll.
Markwordt currently is fourth in the nation in per game scoring and assists, producing averages of 5.57 points and 3.14 assists through the Buckeyes' 14 games this season. She leads the team and power-packed ALC with 78 total points off 34 goals and 44 assists, marking the fourth-consecutive season she has tallied more than 70 points on the year. In fact, all four season totals hold spots in the Top 7 of the Ohio State record books, adding up to the greatest statistical performances in Buckeye history.
With her second of four goals in the Buckeyes' 21-7 win over Louisville Feb. 19, Markwordt became the leading point scorer in Ohio State women's lacrosse history and now has 302 points (174g, 128a), obliterating the previous top mark of 243. The Woodbine, Md., native also holds the career goal-scoring record and stands in second-place all-time in assists, trailing the current leader by just 11 helpers. She has scored at least one point in 62-consecutive games, dating back to March 1, 2009, and the fourth game of her freshman season.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced May 10 and invited to the Tewaaraton Award Ceremony. The original men's and women's watch lists, were announced Feb. 15 with additions made March 20 and April 3 and were ultimately comprised of 82 men's players and 57 women's players.
"We congratulate these 50 elite student-athletes on their remarkable accomplishments thus far this season," said Jeff Harvey, chairman of the Tewaaraton Foundation. "With the help of our selection committees, we look forward to announcing this year's finalists next month." The selection committees are comprised of 12 men's and ten women's current and former coaches.

Badger Medicine
The first part of this article deals with Badger medicine as it relates to those who do not have Badger as a totem per se but for whom Badger has made its presence known. The second half deals more with Badger as an actual personal totem.
Badger is about healing and the ability to use roots and herbs to bring about health and healing for one's self or another and yet it is also very much about learning to take responsibility for one's own life and being self-reliant. When Badger shows up it's time to get yourself grounded and prepare to keep your nose to the grindstone for a time, Badger is going to be pushing you to become very focused on what you need to do to manifest your hopes and dreams. So often it seems that people do have a tendency to sit around waiting for someone else to come along and make things happen for them. The problem with this is:
A. The person never shows up
B. The person shows up but is too busy running his or her own life to take on anyone else's
C: No one can do for us what we are unwilling to do for ourselves
The energy around Badger is one of simply digging in and getting down to it, being patient, persistent and aware, very focused and determined. Those who choose to work with Badger when he/she appears will find that they have less time for those things and activities that may have been nice on the scenic route yet now they find they really want to get the energy moving on goals and projects that have great long term value. Badger carries the energy of Saturn, the great taskmaster who pushes us to set goals of value and then to work like the dickens to make real! The foundation for the future is built in the present moment, through our day to day actions and activities. Both Saturn and Badger ask us what we would like to leave on planet earth once we depart from the physical realm: do we want to look back and see how we have frittered and wasted our time on sitting and waiting for something or someone to make our lives all we know they could have been or do we simply want to get on with things!
Badgers are not the most sociable of creatures as anyone who has ever had cause to meet up with one in their natural habitat can attest to. They are solitary, and highly aggressive when they feel cornered or their boundaries crossed. This makes them an excellent totem for those who have trouble standing up for themselves or find others continually take advantage of them but I personally would hate to be on the receiving end of that Badger energy, LOL!
Badger energy suggests that we are better off spending more time in solitary pursuits and practical endeavors. It is time to be very focused, not allowing things to pull us off track but to bare our "teeth and claws" if needed in order to accomplish all the work we shall need to be doing or will do if we are wise and want to move ahead at this time! For some folks Badger can indicate a time of deep study and introspection. Any studies pertaining to health, healing, herbs, and too because Badger can dig deeply underground, shamanism is likely to come to the fore for some.
In the Animal Wise Tarot Ted Andrews associates Badger with the four of pentacles. Because of this, in general it can indicate where we may need to become more "miserly" with our time, energy, resources. There may be special projects or long term goals that are needing to be completed right now (This certainly seems to be the case for me!) and thus one may feel the need to withdraw for a time so that the greater focus can be put on those things. Or it may express that one has become too miserly with their resources, the person may be expecting everyone else to "caretake" them while they sit and do little for themselves. It can also indicate on a deeper level that a person is not really utilizing their own talents and abilities to the fullest, that they are being too "miserly" about expressing what they know that are capable of doing. If the person is waiting for someone else to "help" them get things moving out of fear they can't do it on their own, then Badger can be a very valuable ally in helping the person "dig up" their own strength and courage. If on the other hand the person is simply being lazy then Badger might give them a bite in the bum to get them moving!
The number of a tarot card can indicate the length of time that something will need in order for it to manifest. Major Arcana card energies tend to manifest quickly, the Universe uses those cards as a sort of heads up that something major is on the way and we need to be super attentive. The court cards indicate the type of person that may be involved more than giving an actual time frame. The Lesser Arcana though tells us how many days, weeks, months or years something may take before it has completely manifested and the energy passes. When Badger appears, often this energy will be prominent for four months when we may find we need to retreat more from the outer world and focus on building for the future. So if there is something you have been hankering to get moving on, call upon Badger energy and be ready to put the work in! It will be well worth it though when a few months down the road you see how much you have accomplished and manifested!
Some other things to watch for when Badger appears:
Badger is strong earth medicine and as such things tend to manifest quickly when Badger is around if the person is putting a lot of their own energy into something. It is also very grounding energy so expect some practical insights and nudges into what you may need to do next in order to create what you are seeking in your life. Remember, while it is always important to trust that the Universe had heard our requests and is seeking to flow that energy to us, we need to do our bit to insure we are there and ready for the manifestation to happen!
Those of you who own your own business or are seeking to start one, call upon Badger energy for increased business energy and flow. Be very sure though that you are willing to put in the extra hours that Badger will be asking of you!
I have often seen folks receive rises in pay, bonuses or even higher paying jobs when Badger has appeared for them. The more effort one has put forth, the greater the reward.
This can be a good time for some to do some house hunting! Badger loves to have its own cozy den so if you have been wanting to search for a new home, now is a good time to get out there and do some serious searching. It may take a few months for the actual move to be completed and if you want to get an idea of when the move may actually occur, astrologically watch for the times when the Moon is transiting your fourth house as you will likely get some indications though it is far stronger during a lunar return when the Moon actually lands in your fourth house for the month! Also, look at your solar return for the year, if the Moon is in the fourth then yes, you are likely to be moving before your next birthday.
Home improvements or maintenance in one form or another is likely to be important at this time as well.
Badger also speaks to us of also needing to have home space where we can be alone from time to time and have some privacy. Those of us who need major down time away from others (I am very much this way, I need a lot of time and space for myself even on a daily basis in order to do my work and write) may find that we need even more time alone this month. It is important to honour this! So often, great creative works and inspired endeavours arise from time alone to muse and contemplate. Genius needs time alone to stew, its what has given birth to every great invention, thought or work of art known to human kind!
Badger As Totem
Badger people are an interesting lot! Highly solitary, these folks can be extremely focused, especially when they are working towards a goal that has great purpose and meaning for them. It can be difficult to get truly close to Badger people for they honestly don't need nor desire too much company around them much of the time. For some, people "get in the way" of what they are trying to accomplish and this most certainly is not a judgement call against Badger people! This extreme dedication and focus is something that many people could learn a little more of, especially in our current society where patience and focus are often lacking.
Badger people allow those to get close to them who can show they can pull their own weight and then some! But don't try to pull the wool over these people's eyes by pretending to "have it together" as the Badger person will sniff this out sooner or later and then they may feel a loss of trust and respect towards you. Once that happens it's rare for them to think of someone in the same terms again. Its better to be upfront with Badger people, be whom you really are and just watch: they can teach one an awful lot about how to make things happen just by sheer example of their own hard work and dedication!
Badger people because they are by nature so powerfully focused are able to get enormous amounts of work done and often in a shorter period of time than other people because they refuse to allow anything or anyone distract them from their goals or chosen path. This does not mean they cannot form close relationships with other people, but that the Badger person will feel most comfortable with those whom are also very hardworking and dedicated. They really have very little patience for people who sit around and complain about their lives and yet do nothing to make things any better! These sorts of people can be very draining to Badger people as well because beneath the rather gruff exterior there really does beat a heart of gold that truly wants everyone to have everything they desire in life. As a result, Badger folks may often take on other people's problems or "stuff" in general, trying to help the other person get themselves sorted out and yet what so often happens is that the other person comes to rely on Badger people which serves neither. Badger people can serve best by insisting that other people do their own work and shoulder the responsibility for their own lives and then by showing others by example that hard work truly does pay off.
Badger people can also serve by sharing with those who seek their assistance ways in which the other person can surmount a problem or where they can turn for greater healing and guidance due to their uncanny ability to "sniff out" what might prove to be the best method or route for the other person to take. Badger people just "know" without always knowing how they know, what methods or tools would be the appropriate ones to use.
Badger people are also often highly creative sorts. In Native American "myths" Badger was the keeper of stories and this too indicates that story telling through the sharing of life experiences of the self or others, writing or other forms of communication such as art that "tells a story" is important to Badger people as well. Perhaps it is because Badger is the great story teller and myth and stories are so powerfully healing for so many that Badger folks cannot get too close to too many people: They have things to share with the wider world and being tied down to one person, place or thing goes contrary to what these folks came to planet earth to do. Many do require extreme amounts of "down time" time to be alone, even on a daily basis, if they are to be able to accomplish their healing work and even stay sane! Folks that don't have these same tendencies can feel very intrusive to Badger people who can't understand why anyone would want others around them all the time! Some of this can be helpful for Badger folks though if they start to become too withdrawn into their own focused worlds. Balance is paramount in all things! Space and time to be alone is also crucial to the creative process, if one always has someone else demanding time and attention then its very difficult to stay focused and allow the creative flow to occur when it needs to come through. Some of humanity's greatest thinkers, artists, writers, composers and so forth were very strong in Badger medicine and needed great spans of time alone or were considered to be highly eccentric because of their need to shun the company of most others. Yet because they did not cotton to the supposed "rules and norms" of the society and day they lived in, they were able to allow a greater flow to come through them that still touches vast numbers of people to this day and will continue to do so for all of time on planet earth.
Badgers are amazingly adept at digging and will create extensive home tunnels beneath the earth. This ties Badger strongly to shamanism, the ability to enter into the underworld or "realm of the dead" and then to find one's way to the surface again. Because of this, Badger people often carry the energy of Pluto or Scorpio as well, Pluto being the Lord of the Underworld. Entering into Pluto's realm is not for the faint of heart and yet Badger people do this almost on a daily basis! They have an innate knack for traversing the labyrinths that cannot be seen by others or may be feared by others, Badger has spent so much time underground in their own healing process and so the underworld is somewhere they feel quite at home. It also provides a sense of safety for Badger people, if people start poking at them when they don't want to be poked at, the Badger person might well launch into a deep, dark or weighty subject that soon has the other person running for cover! The Badger person knows that not everyone has the courage to follow them into the depths and so they can use this ability to shield themselves when needed. However, this can also lead to depression for some Badger people if they spend too much time in the Underworld, they need to come topside now and again to spend some time in the sunshine in order to feel whole.
Some Badger people have withdrawn from the wider world because they felt unacceptable or rejected by others at a very young age. Badger babies do not stay long with mum, by the time they are a few months of age they are expected to find their own homes and make their own way in the world. For Badgers this is fine, they are WANTING to be on their own, but for many humans this early feeling of being "rejected" or expected to be an adult too soon can be a real source of frustration and anxiety in the person's life. Many such Badger people by the time they have reached middle age or even sooner often feel rather "burned out", they never had a proper childhood and feel they missed out on something rather wonderful because they were expected to take care of themselves or even younger siblings (sometimes even the parents!) much too early on in life. If this is the case, the Badger person must learn to take care of themselves first! They simply cannot take on care-taking of other adults that are capable of doing for themselves lest they run the risk of developing serious illness of one sort or another. If the Badger person has their own children, their primary focus needs to be on the being the best parent they can be and not expecting their own young to grow up to soon and yet also find plenty of time and space for themselves. Not an easy feat I well know! The Badger parent can also teach their young how to be self- reliant over all, which will serve the child well as an adult to be certain but still tasks and expectancies need to be geared for what is really appropriate to the child's age and current rate of growth and development.
Badger people also need to honour what their bodies are telling them at all times. If they feel they need more rest they should take it, if they feel their diet needs to be altered in some way, do so! Badger people know what supplements, vitamins and so forth would be the most appropriate for them to take and not allow the opinions of others to sway them in a different direction. This ability to really relate to the earth and the body is what also makes Badger people such fabulous healers! They can zero in with great accuracy what another needs for healing and while their methods can often times seem harsh to others, it so often turns out that it was exactly what the other person needed all along. Badger people may also do much healing work without even realizing that is what they are doing. A look, a touch, a word, can bring so much energy and healing to another even though what occurred the Badger person would be the last to claim was a healing session or intent. Yet with their innate gift of healing also comes the need to shield and protect themselves from others thought forms and energies as well, Badger people may sometimes take on the issues or illness of another without realizing they have done so and thus must become more aware of actively protecting themselves. Usually it takes quite a bit to knock a Badger person flat but when it happens, it can be fairly severe so its important that Badger people do heed their own bodies needs as much as possible. It can be helpful for Badger people to pursue a healing path under the guidance and tutorage of another healer, a sort of apprenticeship as it were if the Badger person can get past the need to do things on their own. Badger people are quick studies when it comes to healing work and yet they do benefit greatly from seeing how others have learned to harness the energy and alternative ways of working with healing others safely and sanely.

The Portland Trail Blazers are enduring quite the bumpy ride on their season-high seven-game, 11-day road trip. After dropping the first four contests, the Trail Blazers will look to rebound on Saturday when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers. Portland permitted the first victory of the season for woe-begotten Washington on Wednesday before offering a listless performance in a 96-78 setback to Boston on Friday.

News : Air Canada Announces Date for Closure of Call Centre
2018 Top Ranking Performers Present:
Oct 17, 2014 -- Air Canada has set a date for the closure of its Winnipeg call centre.
The airline has informed its employees the call centre will cease operations in just more than two years.
The 76 workers and the union that represents them -- Unifor -- have known since last fall the centre would be wound down over time due to changing technology. But they hadn't been given a specific date for the closure.
In an email sent to the Free Press on Thursday, and in a letter earlier this week to the workers, the airline said that date has now been set -- Dec. 31, 2016.
The email said the collective agreement with Unifor provides for the protection of jobs within the city of employment.
"While some employees may elect to transfer or take a severance package, most are expected to eventually transfer to the Winnipeg airport," it said, "and Air Canada will work with the union on other mitigation measures as necessary."
In the Oct. 14 letter to the workers, which was obtained by the Free Press, Air Canada's director of call centres and customer relations said the company is committed to protecting all of them.
"That is, the closure of the Winnipeg Call Centre will NOT result in any layoffs," Michael Tremblay wrote.
He also said he's aware such a significant change can be cause for concern, "but, as we did when we closed the Calgary Call Centre in 2011, I will commit to assisting you as best I can through the transition," he added.
Leslie Dias, Unifor's national representative for airline employees, said in an interview she's skeptical all of the call-centre workers will be able to find jobs within Air Canada's Winnipeg operations.
"It's just too large a group to be absorbed within our bargaining unit, for sure."
She said while some might opt to transfer to one of Air Canada's other call centres, which are located in Toronto, Montreal and Saint John, N.B., "I would expect the number would be fairly small."
Dias noted the airline has said it will provide an enhanced severance package for employees who opt to take a buyout. But it hasn't elaborated on what would be included in such a package, she added.
Air Canada said it has 599 employees in Winnipeg, including the 76 call-centre workers. The others work primarily at Winnipeg's Richardson International Airport in aircraft maintenance, flight operations and finance and related administrative jobs.
Dias, who is from Manitoba, said the airline has had a call centre in the city for more than 30 years, and that she once worked there. "It's very unfortunate that location is closing," she added.

That's what the Giants RB told the Newark Star-Ledger this week when he was asked about the Cowboys choosing to schedule the Giants as their opponent for the home opener at Cowboys Stadium.
Jacobs told the Star-Ledger that hating a team with a "bloody passion" means you have to enter the game "as being assassins."
"I'm really, really, really excited for the opportunity to be able to open up their new stadium and play against them," Jacobs told the newspaper. "I'm glad they picked us. I guess it says something about them playing a certain team I guess they thought were the perfect ones to go in there and get their first win (against)."
It's nice that Jacobs has found a way to get fired up, but the truth is the Cowboys picked the Giants because they knew their NFC East rivals would bring maximum media exposure. Why pick a patsy like the Lions when you know nobody would tune in to watch it?

RE[5]: Amazing
by lemur2 on Mon 6th Oct 2008 13:58 UTC in reply to "RE[4]: Amazing"
Yeah, especially when individuals aren't legally responsible for patent infringements (real or imagined) in products they have "purchased".
Unfortunately, AFAIK that is not what the law says.
If a company can show a patent infringement in a product, or even show a cause to believe there is a patent infringement, then the patent holder can force the alleged infringing product to be removed from the market.
That means being able to recall products that are out in the market, in use. Owned by ordinary people who bought them in good faith.
Fortunately, this works two ways. If Microsoft actually tried this against Linux users, then Linux (in the form of the Linux foundation and the SFLC) would counter-suit, and allege that windows infringes patents held by the Patent commons and the open Invention Network. The counter-suit would just as easily be able to force people to stop using Windows.
Clearly, that isn't going to happen. Therefore, Microsoft will not sue.
However, it would appear that Microsoft are still very interested in being able to make threatening noises about the possibility that they would sue (just as they have already done for many a year now).

For this to happen they'd have to win a suit against the manufacturer or reseller first and then the manufacturer would have to recall the product. Individual consumers are not sued.
But the individual users are still without their computing resources, because those resources are recalled.
However it won't happen. If Microsoft try it on to get Linux systems recalled, then Linux will retaliate to get all Windows systems recalled.
Chaos ensues. Economic meltdown. Therefore it won't happen.

Sky Blues signing sparks good feeling
Coventry City's signing of attacking midfielder John Fleck on Wednesday has achieved the rare feat of generating excitement among Sky Blues supporters about the message it sends out about the club's ambitions for next season.
Fleck's arrival from the 'newco' Rangers FC, with City not paying a fee but including a sell-on clause, is the most innovative signing the club has made in the past couple of years.
He burst onto the scene at Ibrox and even at his young age has gained plenty of experience at the top of the SPL and in Europe.
Clearly Fleck is far from the finished article otherwise there would have been interest in him from the Premier League and top of the Championship but his potential to spark a promotion push at the Ricoh Arena next season has made him a vital signing already.
Sheffield Wednesday meanwhile are the latest club to be linked with City's talismanic defender Richard Keogh although Vital Coventry's spies in the Steel City feel that the Owls are already well-stocked at the back having signed the likes of Joe Mattock and Anthony Gardner already this summer.

The state Public Authorities Control Board approved $300 million in funding for Sematech to move its headquarters from Austin, Texas, to the University at Albany.
The vote, which was unanimous by the five-person board, paves the way for the state to fund its portion of the $600 million project, half of which Sematech is funding.
Sematech is an international computer chip manufacturing consortium that helped to turn Austin into a center for semiconductor companies in the 1980s.
International Sematech, as it will be known, will set up its headquarters at UAlbany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Sematech already has 250 people working there, and that is expected to grow to 700 under the project.

TFA Explores New Plays with First Light Festival
Posted: February 11, 2004 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Theater of the First Amendment (TFA), George Mason's professional theater company in residence at the Center for the Arts, continues its mission of exploring new plays with its fourth annual First Light Festival on Saturday, Feb.14, beginning at 11 a.m. First Light,TFA's developmental program for new plays and playwrights, features a day of new play readings–combining the talents of playwrights, directors, dramaturges, and actors with audience feedback after each reading–and encourages attendees to be a part of the theatrical creative process.
Plays are presented at Harris Theatre. Admission is $10 for the entire day or any part of the day. The schedule follows.
11 a.m.–The Treehouse by Gwydion Suilebhan
This is the story of four men in their 30s whose watered-down religious traditions leave them lost and confused when they're faced with the death of the one man who could have provided the guidance they desperately need–but didn't.
2 p.m.–Open the Door, Virginia! by Dianne McIntyre and Olu Dara
A glimpse of the newest dance/theater musical from the creators of TFA's Blues Rooms and Could Stop on a Dime. This investigation and celebration of Brown v. Board of Education, which began 50 years ago in Prince Edward County, Va., is based on interviews with actual people who brought the case that led to the desegregation of America's schools.
3:30 p.m.–The World of Others by Catherine Trieschmann
Set in an isolated landscape both wondrous and violent, this dark new work explores themes of desire, racism, and the effects of past transgressions. It is the story of a young brother and sister ill-equipped to confront the intrusion of a corrupt outside world.
Admission includes refreshments served between readings to allow for informal continued conversation with the artists. For tickets, call 703-218-6500, click on www.tickets.com, or visit the Center for the Arts box office.

The cast in perfect, it's well written, the settings are beautiful, it's sweet and funny and touching and life-affirming. And it ends just the way you want it to, which is extremely satisfying.
It's everything you want a movie to be, if you're a sappy romantic like me.
|Never seen it? Get thee to a movie store! You'll love it!
But here's the kicker: one of my very favorite parts of the movie is the California home of Cameron Diaz's character, Amanda Woods. It. Is. Breathtaking.
I would literally pause the movie while watching to take in the home decor. Remember this house?
As it turns out, while the outside is a real house in California, the inside is an elaborate movie set which apparently cost a million dollars to build!
I actually have the living room/entryway shot a screensaver... to keep my design goals in view.
|Front Gates... Wait, is that seriously a lemon tree on the right?
|So opulent... with the grey floors, the archway, the beams, and the color scheme. Each object here holds beauty.
|The cream furniture, the chocolate curtains, the ample seating, the brightness... aaahhhhh.
|The Kitchen...
|...The Gloriously Huge Kitchen.
|The dining room -- Not sure we see it in the movie -- But check out the climbing vines outside the french doors.
|The luxe bedroom (with those blackout drapes at the touch of a button)... sigh..
|Majestic Stairway - Grey floors, seagrass runner, awesome art.
|Massive crystalline pool, Climbing vines, outdoor paradise. Need I say more?
|Ooooohhhh the soaker tub in the middle of the room.
|Okay, this is just not fair.
|Cozy reading nook in the bedroom. Yes, please!
|Even the hallway is gorgeous. The beams! The lanterns! The oversize planters with pretty greenery! The windows! The grey floors! The nice black piece! Why??
You be the judge.

So when we were booked at Beaches Negril we were scheduled for 4pm....but now that we've switched to Beaches T&C, the only time slot available for our day is 11am That just seems like such an awkward time to me and while I'm not happy about it, I definitely don't want to switch my date, and I really don't feel like switching our resort, so I feel kind of stuck.
I would love to hear from brides who have had early ceremony times and how you handled scheduling, etc. I know I've read similar threads on this before but didn't find too much when I tried to search. Can someone please make me feel better about our ceremony time??
Not happy with our wedding time

i know a friend of mine who had a wedding in the early afternoon. and she actually loved it! she did the ceremony, and had a reception after.( just as if you were to have one later in the day). but the best part was she said was she got to purchase an evening dress. after the reception and all that fun. everyone took a break from each other to nap, refresh ect, then they hit up the resort disco and had a great night. she said it was almost like 2 receptions. she really enjoyed it!!!!!! my cemermony is at 1pm, so not far from ur time. and althou it may seem shitty, just think you get the WHOLE day to party it up and celebrate!
Posted 11 June 2010 - 04:47 PM
hockeymom, we had our wedding at 11 a.m. in the Riviera Maya and it actually worked out well. I didn't have to avoid my future hubby all day (you know, the whole "can't see the bride before the wedding), I didn't have all day to get more and more nervous and stressed, and we had lots of time in good lighting to take pictures. We had our reception at 6:30, so our guests just spent the afternoon doing whatever they liked -- some napped, some went to the beach, some went into Playa del Carmen. The only minor drawback was having to get up pretty early to have my hair and makeup done.
I was at first disappointed about the early time, too, but everything turned out great.

Hi hockeymom97. Eleven AM is not so bad. Think of how much brighter the colors in your pictures will be. Try searching around in the wedding reviews section for 11 AM brides.
Posted 12 June 2010 - 02:33 PM
I think that 11 AM would be great! You could do a nice ceremony and then your guests could enjoy the rest of their afternoon and meet you for a fun reception later that day! Also, it would give you and your hubby time to soak it all in before your big reveal later that evening!
Posted 12 June 2010 - 03:33 PM
There was another bride who posted something similar. Her church was only available at 11am and the reception venue was only available frm 6pm. Personally I have been attending more and more weddings that are being held earlier. I think 11am is fine. Is your reception following right after or is it later in the evening. You get to have your wedding and then guests can enjoy the evening. You can all probably meet up and go off property later in the evening and party it up.

It's having difficulty changing gears. What's wrong? I got my car's ignition to turn over and while it tried to start, it took it several minutes to do so. Once I got on the highway, my car had difficulty changing gears even though I had it in drive.
Once I got the car up to 3,000 rpm it finally changed gears. My check engine light also came on and hasn't gone off.
have the same problem?
