$1.4 trillion are "stranded" overseas. Seventy-five Congresspeople, and growing, from both parties, respectfully led by freshman Representative John Delaney (D-Md), are advancing a plan to retrieve that money.
Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirkson once reportedly said, "A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon, you're talking real money." A trillion is a thousand billion.
A million million dollars. $1.4 trillion is approximately seven times the value of the U.S. government's gold held at the bullion depository inside Fort Knox. Liberating it would be something like a reverse Goldfinger "Operation Grand Slam" times seven. That's ... real money.
Will Congress do this? Some Democrats consider it heretical. Some Republicans are dragging their feet.
Yet its beginning to look like a real possibility. The political implications of doing it are even bigger than the trillion, plus or minus, dollars at stake.
This stranded trillion dollars are American corporate profits. Last time this columnist looked, capitalism remained legal in the United States. (It is not so legal in such advanced nations as Venezuela, to whose policies some of our progressives aspire notwithstanding Caracas's struggle to keep even toilet paper in stock.)
The trillion is stranded offshore by America's nosebleed nominal corporate tax rate. To be sure, "stranded" is used metaphorically. This money is not stashed in tomato cans in Ireland. It is banked. And because, as Prof. Robert Mundell taught us, the only closed economy is the world economy, the capital remains readily available, very much including to the US. A current accounts deficit axiomatically is equal to a capital accounts surplus. America obviously is running a massive capital accounts surplus. There's no shortage of financing.
That said, our nosebleed corporate tax rate causes distortions and inefficiencies in the deployment of capital. This matters, microeconomically if not macroeconomically. Based on the reported enthusiasm of the rightful owners of this money, it looks like removing a big barrier to remitting it home is a big deal and a good thing.
Republicans (at least in theory) disapprove of the kind of "Somali Pirate policy" lunacy that is holding for ransom American corporate profits honestly earned abroad. All sane people ought to condemn such lunacy. Some on the left, however, take the position that Uncle Sam somehow is entitled to over a third of this money.
Meanwhile, back home, the federal government's highway trust fund is going bust. Some of the (civil-engineer-graded C) bridges we drive across are at risk of collapsing. Aviation (D), dams (D) and drinking water systems (D-) reportedly are in sore disrepair.
The Congress, hocus pocus, last month made a couple of tweaks and used a sick accounting gimmick to keep highway funds flowing until next May. It's at best a short term patch.
Democrats (at least in theory) disapprove of the "Enron Accounting policy" lunacy that is putting many of our roads, bridges and other public works — and, even, lives — at risk. All sane people should disapprove of such lunacy. Some on the right, however, appear truculent about federal involvement in infrastructure.
Disapproval, however, is cold comfort. Now ... there appears to be a deal in sight.
It does not stick it to the taxpayers, as would, as some propose, raising the gas tax. It merely requires Congress to "think different."
So "Who is John Delaney" and what is his solution? Delaney (who represents this columnist's Maryland district) was first elected in 2012. He then was elected by his colleagues as president of the Democratic freshman class.

Bunch of Songs
- Artist: Alex Arrowsmith
- Genre: Rock
- Release Date: 12/16/2003
Alex Arrowsmith wanted to be an astronaut because he was attracted to the idea of playing with space dogs and monkeys. He also really wanted to get some bears and cougars into space after many years of not having bears and cougars in space, and he thought what better way to do this than by working from the inside? As it happened, NASA rejected his application based solely on the fact that he has never seen Chariots of Fire. Until the day comes that Alex can finally lay eyes on that rare elusive movie, he must spend his days making up songs about bears and torpedoes. On this gargantuan pop extravaganza, Alex explores the power of myth in 'Yeti Or Steve,' 'Respect The Bear' and 'Wolverine Trapped In A Safe Deposit Box' while he tackles the sensitive political issues of facial hair on 'Beard Down To Here,' 'Beard So Soon,' 'My Dudes Are Your Dudes' and 'Haffa Stache.' While these songs may sound like incredibly sophisticated artistic statements, they really are just crazy pop songs for me, you and Alex to sing and love. Mostly Alex though. Juicy fact: The chances of you winning at Jenga increase by 600% when you listen to this album. 14 Alex Arrowsmith fans can't be wrong! A Bunch Of Songs by Alex Arrowsmith is a solid gold triumph! Witness these testimonials: 'They say that music is the soundtrack to our lives. Well, A Bunch Of Songs by Alex Arrowsmith is the soundtrack to my gambling addiction! Thanks Alex!' -Jake 'When I have a choice between listening to the Karate Kid 2 soundtrack or this, I choose the Karate Kid 2 soundtrack.' -Peter Etcetera 'When I run out of forks, spoons and knives, I use this CD to beat my eggs. It's very useful!' -Walter Mondale 'I'm short, so if I need to boost myself up when I'm driving in my car, I just sit on this CD!' -Trevor Belmont You can't deny the truth. Pick up this album today and you go through a time warp! *Time warp currently unavailable until Jodie Foster gives it back.

Brian Brooks Moving Company to bring 'Big City' to The Egg
Brian Brooks Moving Company brings 'City' to Egg

Aluminum rods, sandbags and cables are among the components of the industrial-style set design for "Big City," a new work that the Brian Brooks Moving Company brings Friday evening to The Egg.

Also on the program are "Motor," in which the dancers move through a tunnel of fabric; "Descent," exploring the relationship between bodies in space; and Brooks' signature solo, "I'm Going to Explode," a fusion of contemporary movement, street dance, sports and parkour.

The son of a Navy man, Richard Remsen lived lots of places as a boy, but the years he spent enjoying Maine's coast in Camden, from age 10 to 15, were perhaps the most formative for a man who would become an artistic master of metal and blown glass.
For more than three decades, he has produced ornamental objects in metal, glass, and in combinations of the two materials. His work includes large mobilelike installations designed to enhance high-end architecture, museum pieces, large lobster claws created in glass and his latest series of oversized fishing lures made of glass and steel and cast bronze. The latter may be among the most remarkable of the works he has on display in his studio.
"If there's any single influence that led to my work now, it's that I could swim a lot, during those Camden years," Remsen said recently. Pointing to the metal and flowing glasswork he designs, forges and creates, Remsen added, "That sense of the water flowing over you — the intrinsic feeling of how things move, of the motion of things — is all a part of my work as an artist."
Remsen went on to attend private high school at St. Alban's School in Washington, D.C., and then the Rhode Island School of Design, where he studied glass blowing and steel and metal fabrication. Upon his return to Maine some 30 years ago, he bought an abandoned blueberry processing plant in West Rockport. Its concrete floors are ideal for an artist who planned to set up a foundry to work with superheated metals and molten glass.
In Remsen's work, technical expertise is married to free-spirited imagination. This is particularly true in the fishing lures, which could not be made without all kinds of knowledge about the chemicals that produce vibrant colors in the glass, about how to form the stiff stuff of stainless steel so that it not only will fit but also will embrace the free-flowing forms of molten glass, and experience with epoxies and other materials that may be used to secure steel to glass.
Remsen gained some inspiration from vintage lures. "Lures were historically a mix of metal and wood or metal and glass," Remsen said, "and this is very appealing to me. In older lures, glass was sometimes used in the eyes," he said.
But he was interested not just in the practical facts of lures. He found himself thinking about them metaphorically. "Everything in our society tries to lure you in some way," Remsen mused. "For a new refrigerator, the lure may be zero percent financing. Fast cars, new boats, beautiful women. All of these things can become terrifically alluring."
One of Remsen's early pieces in his fishing lure series is a blown-glass lure filled with paper money and armed with a fierce treble hook. He calls this piece, "The Lure of Money."
More recently, Remsen's lures have been becoming "more fanciful," he said. Many have very flowing forms while others have closed, almost bulleted shapes. All of them have eye-catching eyes.
"Think about women and cosmetics, which are always used to enhance the eyes. Eyes are the mirror of the soul. It is impossible to resist their power and energy. It's the exact same thing with fishing lures. Lures really don't have the same feeling if there isn't an eye associated with it. The eye really gives it its soul."

The Blame Game
Author: Barry Furey
Copyright: 9-1-1 Magazine, Feature Content
Date: 2011-06-01
Browsing the web recently, I've come across several articles that reaffirm my belief that if being a scapegoat were a game of tag, telecommunicators would perpetually be "it." Now, this should come as no surprise. After all, in a profession that has historically been viewed as a gathering of redheaded stepchildren, taking potshots at the PSAP is nothing new. What is new, however, is the scope of these collective allegations and insinuations. While I'll paraphrase for the sake of brevity, the intent is clear: whatever it is, it's the dispatcher's fault. This thinking dovetails nicely with my favorite analogy: 9-1-1 is like a submarine. Nobody sees us or hears us until something blows up. Then they blame us for the explosion.
In the first case, a fire department spokesperson advised that they would have gotten to a fire much faster had they been advised that there were victims still in the house. Now, don't get me wrong. Leaving out that someone is still inside is a pretty big deal, but, honestly, what measurable difference does this information make in the time it takes to get there? "Gee, we wouldn't have had that second cup of coffee if we knew we had a victim." People; please! Yep, it's a problem. Yep, it's a BIG problem. But when agencies all over the country are re-examining their response protocols, and in many instances requiring units to stop at all red lights regardless of the severity of the call, the point may be moot.
Which leads me to another pet peeve; dispatch processing times. We all want to get help on the way to people who need it as quickly as possible. More importantly, we want to get the right help to the right location as quickly as possible. This does not happen without questions being asked; and in some cases lots of them. Most calls being wireless in origin automatically adds to the time it takes to get a valid dispatchable location. Throw in some non-English speakers and a couple of 9-1-1 misroutes and those time sensitive benchmarks you've established have taken a pretty good hit. Pile on top of this the fact that some agencies see CAD not as Computer Aided Dispatch, but rather as Capture All Data, thereby generating a string of marginally effective questions. Now, please don't confuse this with any of the formal protocols out there. These work, but they too take time. And therein lies the rub. When did time inside the PSAP become different than time on the street? Are seconds not seconds no matter who spends them? I'm sure we've all seen cases where a telecommunicator was criticized for taking too much time to handle a call, but where besides the academy have you ever seen a firefighter donning gear being measured by a stop watch? If you're going to criticize, then at least have the decency to look at every aspect of response – not just one. An ambulance riding buddy of mine signs all of his web posts, "Fire – The Bravest. Police – The Proudest. EMS – The Forgotten." I have to remind him that sometimes being forgotten is an upgrade from being singled out.
On another front, I came across a piece asserting that the handling of a call was compromised by a telecommunicator's lack of familiarity with gang terminology. Some might consider that a good thing. At least you know where your employees are not spending their off-duty time. Now, in all seriousness, where gang activity is high I would suspect that some gang awareness training is in order. But I also would not rely upon this training to make anyone 100% proficient in street talk. So, what is the public expectation? Unfortunately, many times it is more than we can deliver. Do we therefore need to add gang lingo to our list of available interpretation services? "Hello, translation center? This is operator 40 at 9-1-1. I need someone who speaks MS-13." Are gang members now considered a protected class and covered by the equal access provisions of the ADA, or is this just a portent of things to come? "Oh, jeez. I've got a plumber on the phone. Anybody here speak heating and cooling?"
For me, the first shots in this battle were fired with the rash of occupied vehicle drownings that made the news a few years back. These made such an impact on our industry that there are now officially recognized protocols for how to handle such calls. Although it's our job to provide help and I have the utmost sympathy for victims who don't get it, we've now essentially codified our liability to provide such instruction for these and dozens of other situations that some might argue ought need not be explained to a reasonable person. And once that decision is made, there's no turning back.
Where does all this lead? Who knows? Perhaps we'll wind up issuing such politically correct advice that our precious time-to-dispatch will suffer even further. "Are you with the patient now? No? OK, I need you to take your phone and go over to the victim. Oh, and since it's a cell phone I am required to remind you that some studies indicate there may be some cancer risks associated with these devices. Now, please do not run with any sharp objects on the way, keep lollypops out of your mouth, and watch out for tripping hazards. If you must cross a street, please do so only at an approved crosswalk after looking both ways. If it is a controlled intersection, wait for the pedestrian signal and/or green light, and be aware of vehicles making right turns on red. When contacting the patient use universal precautions. Oops, wait. I don't think I'm supposed to say that last one. What's that? Someone took him to the hospital in their car ten minutes ago? Do you happen to know this person's cell phone number so I can give them directions and safe driving instructions?"
Better yet, maybe in our "free time" we should be dialing at random to give folks emergency information and advice. You never know when they're gonna need it. And shame on us for not telling them that someday they might need assistance…

Nearly grazing the treetops, a tiny red plane swoops in dizzying circles over the bogs and forests of Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park. As pilot Jim Bredy banks hard for another pass, he and his two passengers press their faces against the glass, squinting to spot familiar white smudges on the ground—adult whooping cranes—with russet-feathered young in tow. This wilderness is the summer home of the last wild migratory flock of Earth's most endangered crane.

I have been a sollitary witch now for a little over a year and I have noticed that I have gained something new recently..some sort of new "sight?" maybe?
Sometimes it happens while I am meditating or even when I am sort of daydreaming. But I am starting to see faces, hear people speak things, and even read certain texts that I see in visions. Some of the things don't make very much sense right now (I.e...one vision that I had was of a man that turned the corner of a building and started walking toward me, but that was it).
I am sure someone here has had this kind of experience before. Is there a way to strengthen it, or to actually make it useful? I have thought about trying scrying for starters, but for this past year I have mainly been studying or reading to attain knowledge, practicing circle casting with a couple of simple spells, but nothing major.

Athletics Gets Into the Streets
Annual community service project from Mission and Identity allows Athletics' Department to give back.
May 21, 2007
Los Angeles, CA (May 21) - It has become an annual site on the campus of Loyola Marymount University. More than 100 kids from Nativity and St. Columbkille Schools clad in blue and yellow fill the athletics' facilities. It happened again in 2007 as part of the annual Into the Streets program sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs.
Students participate in a sports camp featuring soccer, volleyball, swimming, and basketball. LMU coaches, student-athletes and many other University staff members run the camps.
The annual sight of students from the two schools is just one of the many opportunities staff and faculty members at LMU have to give back to the community as part of Into the Streets.
Organized by the Student Affairs Mission and Identity Committee, it enables members of that Division to deepen their awareness of the needs of underserved communities in the city, thus providing a context for reflection on faith doing justice.
Other opportunities included service at the St. Joseph Center, Heal the Bay Beach Cleanup, Friends of Animals Foundation, Peace Games, Marycrest Manor, Good Shepherd Shelter, Mar Vista Family Center and SunBridge Care and Rehabilitation Center.

I have been staring at my stupid book for days. The book doesnt detail how to do what i want, and only uses integers, not strings. Basically i have 2 arrays initialized. One array has english words, then the other array has spanish words that are in the same order as their english counterparts. Basically what i have to do is use linear search and let the user enter a word in english or spanish(i guess use methods for them to decide), and then translate the word. Im seriosuly frustrated beyond belief. This is all i have:
public class Lab2
public static void main(String [ ] args)
String[] EnglishArray = {"cat", "dog", "house", "table", "turtle", "water", "yellow", "zoo"};
String[] SpanishArray = {"gato", "perro", "casa", "mesa", "tortuga", "agua", "amarillo", "zoologico"};

When I bought a new home with you 10 years ago I was impressed with your knowledge, genuine concern for my best interests and your willingness to go the extra mile. I can't even tell you how much more impressed I am now that you helped me sell that home. As you know, with all that happened in such a short time, I never would have been able to make this all happen without your and Starr's help. What a month it was!! I referred you to some of my colleagues before and will do it even more now. You were GREAT!! Your help, your referral to the moving company I used and your doing a lot of the little things that I probably would have missed in my very rushed time frame were all lifesavers. Again, You earned the great reputation you have! Thanks again, Bob

|My home was on the market for 4 months, had 38 showings and no offer even though we had dropped the price twice. We were in despair because agents, buyers, appraisers and everyone we talked to said our price was at or below market. We hired Russ because he had been most active in showing our home while it was listed with someone else. Russ came in and had us make some changes and he personally worked hard to help stage our home. At the end of just two weeks, he RAISED the price significantly and sold it before it even listed! Holy cow am I glad we found this guy.
Gregg & Helen Phillips
|Russ was great, his office support was fantastic, the buyers were a little challenging but that's par for the course.
Russ went above in beyond with helping get the property ready both in the beginning and the end. He did more to help than any other realtor would.

On the recommendation of a friend, we contacted The Eitel Group to be our real estate agent for the sale of our home.
We expected their services to be what we have been accustomed to receive from real estate agents that have sold our previous homes, but to our amazement, they go above what you expect, and keeps doing all kind of work to present the house in a better light to a prospective customer. I keep looking in wonder at their non-stop work ethic and would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts to sell our home.

Russ and Starr are real problem solvers and all the prior experience shows. They had answers for EVERYTHING: what to fix, who to work with, what to negotiate...basically, when to fold 'em and when to hold 'em. Russ is unflappable and keeps everything from exploding. He knows the neighborhood and he knows the larger market. Starr has absolutely every piece of information at her fingertips. They were very attentive and I was always a little surprised to recall that we were not the only client.
There are lots of people who love the field of real estate out there working as agents but this group truly is professional, way beyond the trimmings. They are not just another pretty face (or pretty car and business card) - they are the real deal.
And who knew we could have a contract in a week and close right after...in Lakeway. I was all set for a 6 month nail biter.
Thanks team - you all truly are the best!
Charles & Linda Denton
I felt like I should write this to you and express sincere thanks for all that you did to expedite the sale of our home of 13 years in this troubled market.
I chose you to represent us in the endeavor because you exhibited an excitement about the prospect and a clear set of steps we needed to take in order to effect a timely and financially acceptable sale.
You are without a doubt the hardest working Realtor I have ever known. From your planting of flowers and arranging for select pieces of staging to your assistance with the replacement of a lighting fixture, you demonstrated your willingness to pitch in to make the presentation of our house a key element of the sale process.
Thanks again!

We bought our our first home while on vacation and Russ & Shirin made it look so easy!!!
We closed on an our first home this afternoon. Russ was not a realtor but a consultant who provided very objective guidance through the whole process. His years of experience in not just selling real estate but helping customers make sound investment was very evident. The key to negotiation is to have the right information and that was made available to us easily. Once we selected the property we left for a three week vacation and Russ & Shirin took care of everything for us.

I am thoroughly impressed with how professionally you have handled the sale of my grandmother's house from the beginning to now. I have worked personally with several agents in the past and your team shines above the rest. As a lender, we don't get to see this side of the process with agents but I am very doubtful they are as thorough as you have been. I never had a doubt when I recommended you to my family but I know they are pleased as well.
Thanks again!

Russ, I can never thank you enough for all you did for me.
I know you represented me to the very best of your ability. This is the first real estate transaction I have ever had that I felt comfortable with every step of the way....and you did that. If you hear some off key singing in the background, it will be me singing you praises to anyone who will listen.
Keith Duff & Jasmine Jaco
Thank you very much for all of your help - quickly selling our house in a challenging buyers' market.
We'll continue to tell all of our friends about your unique skills and work ethic.
Thanks again!
Kevin & Sherry Reynolds
We advertised on Zillow and Craigslist attempting to sell our house from Sept 2009 to April 2010 and had very little activity. We signed with Russ Eitel in April. He did some additional preparation work to the front of the house that included power washing the driveway, marketed it within the real estate community and the house sold in 3 days.
There were a couple of minor issues between the sale and the close which Russ was able to smooth out.
In the end we were very happy at the speed of the sale and the continued attention to detail until the papers were actually signed at the closing.
Pam Gates
Thanks For Everything!!
Once again you and your team have gone above and beyond to help me get my home sold in record time!!!! SOLD in Five days in this economy, are you kidding me?
You are the BEST realtor and realty team in the greater Austin area and I will tell EVERYONE I know. Does your card still have VNP on it? If not it should because you are, in fact, one Very Nice Person (VNP) and one heck of a fantastic realtor!!!!!!!
With Much Gratitude!!
Randal & Karen Hanshaw
I want to thank you and your team for your extraordinary help in selling our house in The Hills. In practicing law for over 30 years and buying and selling many properties, I've known many realtors, but none more professional or helpful.

A's tee off on another top Rangers pitcher
Updated 7:27 am, Wednesday, April 30, 2014
Arlington, Texas -- A day after sending All-Star Yu Darvish to the earliest exit of his career, the A's hammered Martin Perez, who entered the day with the best ERA in the league.
Perez gave up eight runs, a career high, and Oakland came away with a 9-3 victory over the Rangers. The A's lead the Rangers by two games in the AL West, and at 17-10, Oakland has the best record in the American League.
"Typically, with a good pitcher like that, on a roll, your best chance is to get him before he gets settled in," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said, citing Coco Crisp's leadoff double and some good two-out at-bats later in the first inning for getting the A's going and ending Perez's scoreless streak at 26 innings. "When we're going well, we're making guys work."
Six days earlier, Perez had thrown a shutout at Oakland, allowing only three hits. On Tuesday, he gave up eight hits and three walks, and much of the early damage came from Derek Norris, who is the A's hottest hitter. Norris, a platoon catcher, is 10 for his past 17 and is batting .365 with an OPS of 1.008.
"He's been terrific since the start of the season. ... He's doing very well," said Melvin, hinting that Norris' playing time might increase.
Norris said the A's did a good job of making the sinkerball-throwing Perez have to elevate pitches because they weren't biting at his low stuff, and then, "When he got in a situation with runners on, we cashed in some runs, and that's the way it works sometimes."
Norris doubled in each of his first two at-bats, driving in two runs in the first and another in the third. Craig Gentry, the former Rangers outfielder, added a triple in the second and scored on a groundout by Josh Reddick.
The A's poured it on in the fifth, with Jed Lowrie reaching on a single and Josh Donaldson on a double. Perez walked Yoenis Céspedes to load the bases and, with two outs, walked Alberto Callaspo to push in Lowrie. Jason Frasor, a right-hander, took over and walked Brandon Moss, pinch-hitting for Gentry. That forced in Donaldson. Reddick then whacked a two-run single to right, while Moss eventually came around on a wild pitch by Frasor.
Oakland starter Scott Kazmir was a little off, by his standards, though that still allowed for a good start. Kazmir (4-0) went five innings, his shortest outing of the season, and matched his season high with three runs allowed.
"If that was a bad day for him, we'll take it," said Melvin, whose club has won all six games Kazmir has started this year.
Ryan Cook worked two scoreless innings in relief and Fernando Abad one. Abad hasn't allowed a run over his first 11 outings. Sean Doolittle worked the ninth.
With a win Wednesday, the A's - swept by Texas in Oakland last week - could return the favor.
"It's always good to win the first two and get the confidence going," Kazmir said, "especially after getting swept in your hometown. It's almost like a little payback."

He is an extremist. In my opinion, no different thanaterrorist. Taking something he believes to be true and turning it into hate upon those who don't believe the same as him. Who made him God? Why do you have to judge others when what they do doesn't affect you in the least? Why doesn't this loser takeastand on something worth while? Here is my judgement-He's an ass!

Secrets of Success
Fat-bottom Girl, Thy Name is Angela!
Sunday, February 10, 2013
Fat and happy. Right now, that is me and I am okay with it. Actually, for the first time in my life my fatness is not a bother to me at all. Guess that comes from being around someone who brings the confidence out in you.
I have spent the past 3 days cleaning my besty's house. Not all day every day, but 3-6 hours per day. I have been cleaning things that have not been cleaned in a long time, and things that DESPERATELY needed to be cleaned, but hadn't.
This cleaning included: 15 loads of laundry, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, spot cleaning the carpet where needed, washing dishes, cleaning everything covered in cat hair, dusting all surfaces including window sills, scrubbed the crud under the cat litter box (3 times) and shower stall, and finally the toilets. I decided to leave her closet alone once I got all this other stuff done. I mean, 3 days is a huge commitment for me, especially since I cannot do these things at my own home right now. But I don't have tile ANYTHING either. I now hate tile and don't want it in my house! LOL
While there I decided to take some full-length photos since I promised them for the first of the year and never got around to them. I am in my gross cleaning attire, which doubles as gross walking attire when it's hot out. LOL!!
Not the best pics in the world, but what do you want after I have been on my knees scrubbing showers and floors? Surely nothing eloquent!! But I do now realize my shorts are worn out and I need to buy new ones in a size smaller (Will go for XL versus L as I hate things sticking to me!). I have been able to get into a size 14 stretchy pant, a 16 semi-stretchy jeans, and a normal 18 (not 18W) jeans that DO NOT STRETCH AT ALL. So I am somewhere in the middle of these sizes, depending on who makes them. Hate to say that, but it is true.
And now that I have power-cleaned her home, I am going over there tonight to mess it up as Alaska Man and I are going to spend the night there. One last night of privacy before we have to give up the house. I called the cruise line to see what time the boat docks so I could be done straightening up and out of there before they come home. I will make it, but just by the skin of my teeth. This entails carrying over my own towels, bed linens, comforter, blankets and pillows, but there is no point getting her stuff messed up after I did all that cleaning, for sure!
And Alaska Man is appreciative of the private time we get together as both of our parents are in the homes we love so dearly! He needs the break from his parents and criticism, and he is so uncomfortable being in my house with my parents here. Says he feels like my dad is going to break down the door to my room or come crashing in at any minute, like I am 15 or something. Not like my father would ever even consider that... especially when he has been trying to sell me for the past 20 years!! He keeps telling my boyfriends that he will pay THEM $100 to take me off his hands. Nice, huh? Good thing my father is a jokester or else I may get my feelings hurt! LOL
So all, I am off to be a bad girl again tonight. Nothing better than being a little bad after a long weekend of work! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. And Ms. Gini, it's great to see you back from your vacation. To the rest of you, I am sure I will have a fun commentary after tonight. I may even see if he will let me take pics of us together so I can share. We'll have to see. I need SOMETHING to remind me that he is real and all that is happening is really happening. And when he does go home (sniff, sniff) I will look fondly over these pics and keep up the chatting and see if there is anywhere to go from here. I hope there is, but I am not making plans or counting on it. It's better that way!! (And my part-time boy toy is wondering where I have been for the past 2 months... LOL)

I can really relate to your decision to just be where you are at with fat. For me, it helps to know I am LESS FAT and working sanely to continue in that direction. Makes me feel better about myself all around. Way to go cleaning! Good grief, what a commitment! Hope your private time with the Guy is/was GREAT!!!

Angela you are gorgeous and you do deserve the man who makes you feel the way you feel about yourself right now. Memorize this feeling so you can pull it back up when you are doubting yourself ever again.
Your commitment to your friend is truly remarkable, cleaning her house will hopefully inspire them to actually "move" into it.
Have a great night, looking for the tomorrows comments and hopefully pictures also.

Epic film "Anna Nicole's Trials" makes Oscar sweep with nine wins
Your A.D.D. news outl — Oooh, look at the pictures!

27 February 2007
LOS ANGELES, CA -- The 79th annual Academy Awards ceremony was a very predictable one this year, with the epic film "Anna Nicole's Trials" winning in almost all the categories it was nominated for, including best picture and best director. The only surprise came when Al Gore's global warming film "An Inconvenient Truth" won as best documentary.
This was director\judge Larry Seidlin's first win, but he credited the success to his loyal court staff, as well as to his wife. "I would also like to extend my thanks to the courtroom stenographer, whose detailed notes were instrumental in the final editing of the film," Seidlin also managed to add before the orchestra cut his remarks short. The director also noted in interviews after the show that he is already working on a sequel.
Anna Nicole Smith's companion Howard K. Stern won for best actor, getting his second statuette (the first being for last year's crime drama "The Death of Daniel", in which he played a supporting role. Mr. Stern credited his law professors who "helped him hone the skills necessary for this challenging acting job."
Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole's mother, predictably won for best actress. Her emotion-driven performance expressing sorrow at her daughter's death far surpassed that of Helen Mirriam, who played Queen Elizabeth mourning for Princess Diana. Baby Danielynn won for best supporting actress, making her the youngest Oscar winner ever. In a videolink from the Bahamas, she excitedly said "Goo-goo ga ga!"
Photographer Larry Birkhead easily won for best supporting actor for his riveting courtroom antics. Even fellow nominee Alan Arkin admitted that, "Birkhead's acting abilities, in terms of being so convincing that he really is Danielynn's father, are far superior to my amateurish skills." Eddie Murphy and Mark Wahlberg concurred.
Even the technical awards went to "Anna Nicole's Trials." Engineers at CNN won for best sound editing on the film, intelligently cutting between live sounds from the courtroom and the rambling monologues of Wolf Blitzer. Fox News meanwhile won for best visual effects, inundating the screen with crazy "Breaking News!!" graphics for every new development in the trial film. Finally, the experts at the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office won for best makeup, having to maintain Anna Nicole's body in a viable state despite decomposition and ongoing funeral delays. "We are honored," commented a spokesperson for the Office, "The only other thing that came close is Darth Vader's gimp suit in The Empire Strikes Back."

Anyone else playing competitive? Do you guys like it?
It's my first online FPS and am really enjoying it. It's no Warhawk but a nice alternative. Weapons allow for a huge variety in play style and Skirmish with its objectives-based play can result in really tense battles if teams are roughly evenly matched.
Match making is a bit off though sometimes. It's happened a couple of times that I was put into battles of 6 against 9, 3 against 5, etc. And spawning can be off too. It happens too often that I spawn in between enemies which means certain death unless they're really poor.

King Without a Beard:
Remember Matisyahu, the Hasidic Jew who made reggae (and adolescent Hasidic Jews) cool again in a post rap-rock world, singing about his God and "songs of love and healing?" Dude done shaved off his beard, debuting his baby face on Twitter and explaining on his website, "No more Chassidic reggae superstar. Sorry folks, all you get is me…no alias," among other statements about reclaiming his identity, "trusting" his "goodness" and "divine mission" and above all, getting "ready for an amazing year filled with music and rebirth." Godspeed, Mr. Matthew Paul Miller (his non-Hebrew name).
Port of Morrow:
The band that changes (people in Garden State's) lives is finally getting around to follow-up 2007's effort Wincing the Night Away. Principal songwriter and veritable Shins creator James Mercer announced on the band's website this morning of the new record, Port of Morrow, "[The album] was recorded in Los Angeles and Portland over the course of 2011 with James Mercer as usual handling all songwriting duties, lead vocals and the majority of instrumentation." Friendly reminder: James Mercer made this record. A tour and actual drop date sometime in March will be announced soon, promises the rest of the statement, followed by the names of some touring musicians. It's also important to note that the record will be on the Aural Apothecary imprint, a division of Columbia Records, and not Sub Pop.
The Jean Genie:
British television pop-culture goldmine, Top of the Pops, had some choice footage of David Bowie performing "Jean Genie" in 1973, but apparently "wiped" their master copy shortly after filming, the BBC reports. But not before then Top of the Pops cameraman, current now retiree, John Henshall, asked for a personal copy on 2" broadcast videotape. And here we are 38 years later with a moment in Bowie glam nobody has seen save for the original viewers of the first broadcast. Henshell, who went on to record videos for Blondie, Roxy Music and George Harrison, among others, made his own fisheye for the video. Lookout for a BBC4 documentary in 2012, Tales of Television Centre, to catch the goods.
Nashville Skyline:
The Country Music Hall of Fame is now within $10 million of a $75 million expansion campaign thanks to a massive donation of $10 million from the Country Music Association, the L.A. Times reports. The project, expected to be completed in early 2014, will double the Hall of Fame's size from 140,000 square-feet to 350,000 square-feet. And here we thought country musicians were poor. Chief Executive Steve Moore said in a statement, "CMA and the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum are connected by history and our shared interest in preserving the legacy, rewarding excellence and advancing the further of the format."
Entering the Billboard charts on this day in 1968, Tommy James and the Shondells would go on to sell near six-million copies of "Crimson and Clover" to date. Following the release of the garage-rock classic "Mony Mony," Tommy James was pushing to paint the music world red with a new sound and his own pen (Bo Gentry and Ritchie Cordell had being scribing beforehand). Or in his case, crimson, on account of his favorite color. Clover happened to be his favorite flower. Slap a tremolo on the phrase, allude to love and bam – hit single, "over and over."

Microsoft update email said to be fake
Page Tools
A mass email in circulation which purports to be a Microsoft Windows update alert directs computer users to a fake website where a trojan is installed, security professionals say.
The security firm Websense said it began receiving reports this week of the e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft, coincidentally after the software giant announced it was making security updates.
"This email spoofs users into thinking that they must update their Windows software," Websense said.
"Upon clicking on the link, users are forwarded to a fraudulent website. This website is hosted in Australia, and was up at the time of this alert. The website appears very similar to the real Windows Update site."
But when a user attempts to perform the update, a trojan is installed that allows hackers access to the infected computers, the company said.
The British-based security firm Sophos also issued a warning about the scheme.
"This criminal campaign exploits the public's rising paranoia about the security of their Windows computers. If users fall for it they may put themselves at risk of being spied upon or having their credit card and online banking details stolen," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos.
"We have long recommended that computer users keep up-to-date with the latest security patches, as Microsoft vulnerabilities are often exploited by viruses, worms and hackers. But users must be very careful to be sure they are going to the official update websites, rather than just following links in emails which have been sent by hackers."

The story of Cria draws upon Richard Harland's comprehensive knowledge of both linguistics and anthropology. He tells us that although the practices of Cria's tribe may seem strange to the point of impossible, they are related to practices known to exist in several societies. Diplomatically, Richard declined to name those societies.

We put cyanide in their water. They drank it like it was straight from the spring. We tried starving 'em, which wasn't hard. It ain't rained up here for months an' the ground's parched and brown. That didn't work neither. They didn't eat and they drank cyanide and they flourished. They're breedin' like bloody rabbits.

She had thought it would be an easy climb. But three months of gently upward curving decks had made her more than usually wary of steep, angled planes and sheer drops. Jac edged herself to the lip of the escarpment, dipping her head and shoulders bird-like back and forward, building confidence with each nod to look over the edge. Then she saw forest canopy far below. Dazzling, lush greenness hooked her after such a long transit. No wonder Colony wanted this place so bad.
"You're not supposed to be up here."
Startled, she pulled back from the edge, stumbled, and fell into waiting arms.
"Especially while you still have your space legs," the voice finished. She looked up at the face above her, framed by deep azure sky. Tanned, lined, older. A strong face, but not unpleasant even if it was upside down.. She turned and extended a hand.
"Thanks, I'm Jaclyn Tumael."
Her savior brushed past her to the edge and, leaning out over one sinewed leg, beckoned her closer. "You were after your first glimpse I take it."
She hesitated to go so near to the edge again.
"Come on, I'll hold you. You'll be quite safe." He flashed a brilliant smile, and she knew she would be. "It's something you shouldn't miss," he coaxed.
His hands circled both her arms just below the shoulders, and she looked out over the edge. A hundred metres below, a Gren launched itself from the breeding ledges. She caught her breath as it fell ten, twenty metres until the updraft stretched tight the membrane between its front and rear limbs and carried it in a lazy spiral far above its starting point.
"Wondrous, aren't they," the man whispered in her ear. She felt the same thrill running down her spine that she heard in his voice.
Her mouth was dry as she watched the creature wheel in the sky. It was like watching music. The fluid movements of the creature were utterly entrancing. By comparison she'd never felt so earthbound.
Suddenly, the long tapered body jack-knifed and plunged downwards in a tight spiral towards a slow moving dot far below. It came out of the spin in a perfect arc right on top of its prey. There was a jolt in the smooth flight path; an impossible tangle of arms, legs, and wings; and a tortured screeching carried to her on the wind. Then the membrane spread full against the thick atmosphere again and the Gren was rising, but slowly this time and with a heavy burden.
The hands drew her back from the cliff edge. "You're very lucky," the man said. They don't often hunt this time of day. Come on. It's time to go below and rejoin the others." And he started off down the track leading away from the escarpment.
Jac fell in stepped, dazed by what she'd seen. She was still discerning enough to know she'd been caught where she shouldn't have been however. "Uh, you won't report me," she asked. "To the supervisor, I mean."
The smile came again. Jac liked it. It was a nice smile. "No, I don't need to do that."

Smartphone security is heading for 'apocalypse'
The meteoric rise in the smartphone market is creating a dangerous vulnerability in smartphone security - one that may not be patched until the problem expands into what has been dubbed an "apocalypse."
Dan Auerbach, a staff technologist at the Electronics Frontier Foundation, points to outdated encryption standards and the inherent vulnerabilities of the baseband processor found on modern smartphones as the makings for a security hole through which users can be exploited at large.
The situation is similar to the PC boom of the late 1990s, Auerbach says. Just as PCs were designed to communicate freely with any and all network elements at the time, the baseband processors found on many of today's smartphones interact with any base station with which they come into contact.
At the same time, "the cost of having portable base stations has decreased quite a bit," Auerbach says. This has already enabled some police-state government agencies to create false base stations to monitor cellphone communications, he added.
"So you have just kind of a fake base station, and then you get a user's cellphone to interact with that instead of the real base station," Auerbach says.
This idea is known as the "baseband apocalypse," and it is nothing new. At last year's Black Hat DC Conference, security researcher Ralf-Philipp Weinmann presented the vulnerability and warned that new open source tools for establishing mobile base stations will make smartphones easier to exploit than in the past, when the code for base stations was retained by the service providers that managed them.
What's scarier, though, is that smartphone developers since have focused on features like user interface and screen resolution, as opposed to fixing a fundamental vulnerability that has been public knowledge for at least the past 16 months, Auerbach says. The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) standard for 3G cellphones still employs the A5/1 encryption algorithm, which Auerbach says is "incredibly broken" and "basically worthless." Indeed, the industry has been aware of an attack against A5/1 that can intercept voice and text communications since 2009.
"So, in light of that, controlling the base station and the network elements really does give you access to users' communications," Auerbach says.
Another similarity between the mobile industry of today and the PC security outlook at the turn of the century is that OEMs and mobile carriers have no incentive to secure this vulnerability during the product development life cycle, Auerbach says. The faster smartphones are developed and pushed out to market, the more money companies like Qualcomm and Apple stand to make. With the way the smartphone market has grown lately, they likely won't be slowing down any time soon - a recent IDC report showed 42.5% year-over-year growth in worldwide smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2012.

Displaced Persons -
A little background:
1943: Italy: During World War II, Sicily was the scene of heavy fighting. The Allies launched an invasion from North African bases on July 9-10, 1943. Patton landed forces at Licata and Gela and Montgomery landed at several places south of Syracuse. By the end of the year, the Fascists (those who supported Mussolini between 1922-1943) were overthrown and Italy joined the Allies. The Nazis still held central and northern Italy.
1945: New nation of Italy is formed. Sicily becomes one of five autonomous regions (1946). A new constitution adopted in 1947.
1949: Italy joins the NATO alliance.

I'm looking for news about DP CAMP in Barletta (Bari) during Second World War. Can you help me? thank you Angelo Torre
11/3/04 Hello Olga,
My parents and grandparents weren't in a DP camp in Judenburg. They were actually living with farmers whose sons were fighting the war for the Nazis. It is fascinating, however, to know that there were DP camps there. When my parents were "freed" from Judenburg in 1945 they were taken to Italy, eventually ending up in a DP camp in Barletta. My father enlisted in the Polish army under British command (Anders army), while my mother and her family lived in the DP camp. We have photos from that period. My parents were married in Barletta in 1945 and I was born in Trani in an army hospital in 1946. My grandfather was the head representative for the camp. His name was Stanislaw Czurylo. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to find your website. Thank you so much for suggesting the Austrian Archives. I will let you know what I find out. I am researching my family's WW II history with the objective of writing a book. Jane Hikel Coordinator, Writing Center, English Department, Central Connecticut State University
We stayed at that DP Camp for a short time, and then boarded the US NS GENERAL M.B. STEWART, from Bremenhaven, Germany, on Dec. 20th 1951, and arrived in N.Y., N.Y. on Jan. 2, 1952, The escort Officer was Lt. Crl. (Ret) A. Duncan Johnstone, MBE. ED....is there anyway to find out the name of the German DP Camp? I have the entire ship manifest of all the passengers (all DP's) my family is listed as "stateless", any info you can help me with would be appreciated.

I finally got my father to write a bit about his life.
He mentioned that he spent some time in a refugee camp in Cremona Italy in the later stages of 1957.

He is Croatian and he escaped from Yugoslavia to Ancona (Italy) before being transferred to Cremona.
Do you have any info on that camp in Cremona?

Book: Christ Stopped at Eboli (Italian: Cristo si e fermato a Eboli) is a memoir by Carlo Levi, published in 1945, giving an account of his exile from 1935-1936 to Grassano and Aliano, remote towns in southern Italy, in the region of Lucania which is known today as Basilicata. In the book he gives Aliano the invented name 'Gagliano'.
"The title of the book comes from an expression by the people of 'Gagliano' who say of themselves, 'Christ stopped short of here, at Eboli' which means, in effect, that they feel they have been bypassed by Christianity, by morality, by history itself—that they have somehow been excluded from the full human experience." Levi explained that Eboli, a location in the region of Campania to the west near the seacoast, is where the road and railway to Basilicata branched away from the

Sept 27, 2012 Dear Olga,
I have returned to your website again and again & my gratitude to you for all your effort. The attached photos are from a DP camp in Florence, Italy. The DP camp was called "Kibbutz Ha'Oved." The residents all Jewish Holocaust survivors so far as I know; among them my parents, who were among the Holocaust survivors from the eastern side of Poland, some times referred to as "she'e'ray ha'playtah (the remnant).
In all my years of research have never succeeded in locating anyone who is familiar with this DP camp(s) in Florence.
So far I have been able to determine that my parents arrived in Italy c. January, 1946. Still haven't been able to determine what route, how they got there, fleeing Ukraine.

My parents' address while in this DP camp was "Delasem, via Lamamorra #36, Firenze". Their names were Leah and Pinchas Zaksusky (later - Zaks). DELASEM means "Delegation for Assistance to Hebrew Emigres" Thank you so much!!

Dear Olga,
Months ago I asked you for help in finding relatives of my parents Mykola Jemeljanenko and Weronika Alpina and I am very grateful to you for your advice. I have finally received information from the archives that you suggested. They were Ukrainian but living in Poland before WW2. My father lived in Maciejew and my mother in Lipno. During the war they were sent to Germany. My father was sent to Duisburg in 1943 then Nordhurn in 1945 then in 1946 to Bathurn Lingen DP Camp until 1948. My mother was in Datel Recklinghausen then Haltern, Muenster DP camps then worked at 18DPACS in Muenchen-Gladbach until 1948. I would appreciate it if you could give more information on those places. They migrated to Australia separately in 1950, My mother from Naples in Italy my father from Bremen, Germany so there is 2 years that they do not account for. Could you please place this on your web site again please Olga? Thank you in anticipation. Yours Sincerely, Anna McClure nee Jameljanenko. Contact me at email@example.com. / Australia
2/25/05 Dear Olga,
I am currently researching my family history, but l am not having much luck and have just struck your fantastic website. My wife's grandparents were born in Poland and during WW2 ended up in concentration camps, l do know that they went to Naples, Italy and boarded a ship for Australia known as the USAT "Gen.C.C.Ballou" and that the port of Disembarkation was Sydney on the 29 April 1949, and that their intended address in N.S.W was to be Bathurst. Could you please help me find some more information on this couple as we would really like to know what concentration camps they were in during the war, and where they were when they first came to Australia.

I tried to contact Archives Napoli (Naples) and Red Cross Eboli in Italy but they speak fairly English. Do you have any person or email-address from Naples or Eboli archives that I can communicate with. Thank you very much!

Dear Olga
I chanced across your website while searching fruitlessly for information about my uncle and aunt Mr Josef Orbach & Mrs Mala (Malka) Orbach [nee Gishen].
Josef was a Bundist leader and I believe ran a DP camp or communa near Rome. If I'm not mistaken he told me that he had had an audience with the Pope. He was originally from Sosnowiec, Poland, but moved to Grodno where he married and had 2 children. His wife and children were killed in Grodno and he fled to the partisans. He was captured and sent to Aushwitz [I don't know his number, but I believe he was mistaken for a Pole].
Mala was born in Vilna. I think she spent time in Kaiserwald. She didn't go to a death camp and survived to also finish up in Italy. There I believe she was in a Zionist DP camp before she met her future husband.
Any info you could help me find on their stay in Italy would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

Dog Star
An award-winning career. A triumphant return from retirement. A battle with a life-threatening illness. A starring role in a film that's getting Oscar buzz. A nomination at Cannes. In her ten years, Bella, a wirehair fox terrier, has seen enough drama to warrant a tell-all on the E! television network.
"I fell in love with Bella at first sight," Lucia Hackett, a senior human resources representative at Tufts' Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, says of the retired show dog she bought from a breeder. Hackett soon put the pooch back on the dog show circuit, this time in the veterans' ring. Their life together seemed unfailingly sunny until last April, when veterinarians at Tufts' Foster Hospital for Small Animals found cancer in Bella's abdomen. Rob McCarthy, V83, a Tufts veterinary surgeon, removed the tumor and two lymph glands, one of which was malignant.
Resolutely optimistic about Bella's recovery, Hackett submitted photos of her to an online casting call for a new film. Bella nabbed the role, and four weeks after her surgery, she was on set in Newport, Rhode Island, with Bill Murray, Bruce Willis, and Tilda Swinton to make Moonrise Kingdom, this summer's quirky hit—directed by Wes Anderson—about two runaway teenagers. She played "Snoopy," the mascot of the Boy Scout troop intent on tracking down the pair.
According to Indiewire, a daily film news site, Moonrise Kingdom has a shot at Academy Awards for best picture, best director, and best original screenplay. And in May, Bella scored a coveted nomination all her own—for the Cannes Film Festival's Palm Dog Award, which recognizes excellence in canine actors. Cornered by paparazzi from the Worcester Telegram, Hackett observed that in the end, her pet did not win the prize, but noted: "It's an honor just to be nominated."

Pros: The large screen brings action filled cinema right to your home.
Cons: The weight and size make it hard to clean around it.
My fiance and i bought the 52 in Sony Bravia about a year and a half ago when we were looking for a family orriented tv for the living room. This tv is amazing and has awesome contrast as well as high perfomance. The price was reasonable and it has lasted this long in very mint condition. The only thing id say that might be an inconvience is the size when were trying to move things around but hey we wanted it big! Overall id recommend this tv to anyone looking for a HDTV LCD tv.
