Preview: Flames vs. Bluesby Staff Writer / Calgary Flames
BLUES (38-17-7) at FLAMES (28-23-11)
Last 10: St. Louis 7-3-0; Calgary 4-1-5.
Season Series: This is the fourth and final matchup, and the first in three months, between these Western Conference franchises. St. Louis has won two of the previous three meetings, including their last contest on Nov. 25, a 2-0 Blues win in which David Backes scored the shorthanded winner and Brian Elliott made 24 saves for the shutout.
Big Story: With 83 points, the Blues boast one of the League's best records and are positioned to enjoy home ice in the first round of the playoffs at the very least. After starting a six-game road stretch with consecutive wins, there are no signs of the Blues slowing down. The Flames, on the other hand, remain within striking distance of a playoff spot, but three straight losses to start a four-game homestand that will end with St. Louis certainly hasn't helped.
Team Scope:
Blues: For most teams, a 9-4-0 record in February would be cause for celebration. For the Blues, it's actually a step back following an 8-1-2 record in January. Starting a stretch in which they play 14 of 18 games on the road, St. Louis won 3-2 in a shootout in Nashville on Thursday before entering Winnipeg on Saturday to play a hot Jets team.
Against the Jets, Backes and David Perron gave St. Louis a 2-0 first-period lead that would normally be more than enough for a team that allows fewer goals per game than any team in the League. But a pair of goals from Blake Wheeler in the second period gave the Jets new life. Despite being outshot 42-16, the Blues soon found themselves in a shootout, where Perron scored in the fourth round to give St Louis the 3-2 victory. The win was in large part due to goaltender Jaroslav Halak, who stopped 32 shots just in the first two periods.
Flames: Calgary has been on the periphery of the Western Conference playoff race for much of the season and the hope was that a stretch in which they would play seven of nine games at home might propel them into a playoff spot. But their first game in that run was a humbling 6-1 loss to the provincial rival Edmonton Oilers. The Flames followed that loss with a 4-3 shootout defeat against Phoenix on Thursday before hosting the Flyers on Saturday.
At home against Philadelphia, Tom Kostopoulos scored with the Flames down a man to give Calgary a 3-0 lead more than halfway through the game. But three unanswered goals from the Flyers would tie the game before Alex Tanguay gave the Flames a short-lived 4-3 lead in the third period. Just 1:32 after Tanguay's marker, Scott Hartnell replied with his second goal of the third period. With 41 stops from Miikka Kiprusoff, the game would go to the shootout, where Matt Read's goal in the fifth round of the final frame put the Flames on the wrong side of a 5-4 game.
Who's Hot: Perron has been pacing the Blues offense, with 12 points in his last 11 games while Patrick Berglund has five assists in his last six games. … Tanguay has been providing plenty of offense for the Flames, with four points in his last two games. Not to be outdone, Matt Stajan has goals in his last two games.
Injury Report: Matt D'Agostini (concussion), Jamie Langenbrunner (broken foot), and Alex Steen (concussion) are all on Blues IR while Kris Russell is out indefinitely with concussion-like symptoms. … The Flames are missing David Moss (ankle), Chris Butler (lacerated thigh), Lee Stempniak (ankle), Mikael Backlund (arm), and Blair Jones (broken ankle), who are all on IR.
Stat Pack: Blues goaltender Brian Elliott earned his first career All-Star appearance this season, but he might not be the best goaltender on his own team. Halak has been practically unbeatable in the second half of the NHL season, going 15-3-3 in his last 22 starts, earning five shutouts in his last 13 games. He has also made 30 or more saves in three of his last six games.
Puck Drop: Monday will see former Flames great Al MacInnis honored as the first-ever inductee into the "Forever a Flame" program. MacInnis, who played 802 games with Calgary, will appear with his family in a pre-game ceremony.
"Certainly it's a special honor," MacInnis told the Flames' web site. "I'm excited. My family is excited to get back to Calgary and see some old friends and family, some old teammates and it should be a special couple of days and I am looking forward to it. It's a great honor and I have a lot of special and fond memories from the 13 years I spent with the Flames."

I have acquired a used HH Expedition. It is my first Hennessy Hammock, and I have not yet set it up. There are some pieces missing, and I have to wait until I get some tree straps.
The internal ridge line is untied on one end, it is the same line that the mesh organizer is attached to and slides on. To repair this line, do I have to remove the "sock" on the gathered end and untie the gathered end?
Is the ridge line even necessary on this hammock? It looks pretty flimsy.

* Army Corps meets with elected officials, industry members
* Water released from Illinois lake to boost river
* White House helped speed up hiring for river work
* Shipping group warns river will still close by year's end (Adds details on blasting, comments from Coast Guard, shipping group)
By Tom Polansek
CHICAGO, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projects no "significant interruption in navigation" on the Mississippi River due to low water levels, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin said on Monday.
However, shippers remained nervous about the potential for crippling restrictions.
The Army Corps briefed Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate; other elected officials; and members of the agricultural industry in East Alton, Illinois, on Monday on its efforts to keep the river open following the worst U.S. drought in more than 50 years.
Some shippers of grain, coal and steel have worried the river will close to navigation on a busy stretch between St. Louis and Cairo, Illinois, due to low water. Declining water levels have already forced barge tows to lighten loads or risk groundings.
However, expected rains plus water that is being released into the river from a lake in southern Illinois should keep open the critical route to the Gulf of Mexico, Durbin said in a telephone interview after the meeting.
"There's no anticipated closure of the river," said Durbin, who plans to ask the Army Corps for an update on the situation after the end of the year.
The river and its tributaries are critical for commerce because they draw on a region that produces 90 percent of U.S. farm exports, which are key for the U.S. balance of trade. Sixty percent of grain exports go through New Orleans.
The Army Corps has been dredging the river to aid transportation and has identified other dredging ships that can be used if necessary, Durbin said.
During the weekend, it began releasing more water into the river from Carlyle Lake in southern Illinois. That move is projected to raise the river by six inches at Thebes, Illinois, by Dec. 24.
Rain or snow expected in the Midwest next week also should help increase water levels, particularly if snow melts in the upper Midwest soon, said John Dee, meteorologist for Global Weather Monitoring.
Thebes, located about 130 miles southeast of St. Louis, is a key location where rock formations can damage barges when water levels drop too low.
The Army Corps has started demolishing hazardous rock pinnacles along a 15-mile stretch of river near Thebes to aid navigation.
U.S. President Barack Obama helped speed up the hiring of contractors by the Corps to blast the rocks when he discussed concerns about the river during a meeting last week, Durbin said.
Initially, the Corps warned it might not be able to hire contractors until February or March, U.S. Representative Jerry Costello, who attended the briefing with Durbin, told Reuters. Costello is a Democrat who, like Durbin, is from Illinois.
"In a week's time, the Corps has felt some pressure from above, and they have started work much earlier," said Ross Prough, an at-large director for the Illinois Soybean Association and another attendee at the briefing. "We're certainly pleased with that development."
The Coast Guard will close the river at Thebes from 6:00 a.m. Central (1200 GMT) to 10:00 p.m. for safety reasons during the blasting, restricting barge traffic. One-way traffic will be allowed to pass overnight.
Vessels will be allowed to pass on a first-come first-served basis, although vessels with urgent shipments may be given priority. The Coast Guard has moved a mobile command center to the Thebes region to manage river traffic through the area.
"We are expecting a queue to develop but we don't exactly know how long the queue will get," said Lt. Colin Fogarty, public affairs officer for the Coast Guard's upper Mississippi River sector.
It was unclear how long the rock-removal project would take. Durbin said it would likely last three weeks to four weeks, while the Army Corps said it would be finished before the end of March.
Despite the actions by the Corps, the American Waterways Operators said the river will "be effectively closed to navigation" by the end of the year unless water is released from the Missouri River.
The rock removal and release of water from Carlyle Lake are "really just delaying the inevitable," A merican Waterways sp okeswoman Ann McCulloch said.
Drought conservation steps have cut water flow into the Mississippi River from upriver dams on its tributary the Missouri River.
Cities and towns along the Missouri River, including Omaha and Kansas City, rely on the river for drinking water. Three nuclear power plants in Nebraska and Missouri also use river water for cooling.
Rodney Weinzierl, executive director of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, also expects the river will effectively shut due to low water.
"There's only so much the Corps can do without more rain," he said. (Additional reporting by Karl Plume; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe, Lisa Von Ahn and Bob Burgdorfer)

Yesterday and today on the Steve Wilkos show he's had drug addicts on the show. Yesterday it was 2 sisters...1 was 19 and had been using for 4 years...the other was 20 and her own sister had shot her up for the 1st time, and now she was addicted also. Both were addicted to heroin, both were shooting up. Today there was a 16 yr old girl who got involved with a 24 yr. old man and meth...ran away from home, dropped out of school, staying in abandoned buildings with this 24 yr. old, both stories were just heartbreaking. They all had stuff going for them...family, children, school, friends. It just got me thinking...the one 19 yr. old girl was talking about hating the fact that before her eyes even open in the morning she's thinking about where the next high is going to come from. I remember that feeling all to well. If I can't find some way to get it today i'm gonna be sick by noon. It was constantly on my mind...how many bags do I have left? How long is that going to last me? Where am I going to get money from tomorrow? I've gotta remember to hide the bags before Mike gets home. Try not to act high. Try not to get fired for passing out at my desk....trying to run out to the city in my hour lunch break, and be back in time. Sneak in the bathroom during break and snort it off the toilet paper dispenser...all the lies, all the covering, all the pretending to be okay. No one will ever fully understand the difference between then and now for me. I NEVER thought I would make it out of using. I thought I needed that stuff...I thought it actually made me a better person. Now I see these stories and I hear what they are saying....and I had to sound like that 2 years ago. Excuses after excuses. I needed that stuff to function...and there at the end, I needed it to get out of bed, I didn't think there was any coming out of that. I was doing so much I started withdrawling after only 12 hours of not having anything. Usually you don't start withdrawling until 48 hrs. There towards the end the police were starting to watch us...cause I was always with "that crowd." There is one time in particular that I remember ALL to well. Me and my hook-up were coming back from a pick-up. He had a bundle (10 bags of heroin) in his sock, and I had a bundle in my bra...so there were 20 bags of heroin in the car between the 2 of us.....that's like 10 years in prison. He decides that he wants to stop at his regular place to get a syringe (needle) ....and he stopped at the same pharmacy EVERY time...and that's how they got him I think....but anyways while he was inside I decided to do one of my bags...so I got a cd case and did mine, just as I finished snorting it and putting the rest back in my bra...my friend was just sitting back down in the passenger seat...I kid you not, about the time my hand was coming back out of my shirt about 10 police cars surrounded my car in the walgreens parking lot, and I thought I was screwed for life! I still don't know why to this day....but my hook-up covered for me...he said he had lied to me and asked me to bring him out here for something else, and I didn't know about the drugs....they let me go, and I made it home with that bundle, and surprisingly enough was back out there the next day. I think about that now....I would be sitting in jail using the computer right now....I wouldn't be able to see my kids. And I think about all the people we hung out with who didn't make it out of that lifestyle....i'm pretty sure my hook-up is still sitting in jail cause he covered for me...I mean he caught some new charges after that incident....but I know he's in jail still to this day. I just see all these people who are caught up in that lifestyle and they think it's cool and glamorous and they're livin the thug life!! But in all actuality they have nothing, they are miserable, depressed, angry...bottom line they are messed up about something...using drugs to cover something emotional. I know I was...and people might try and shrug that off and say no I was just using for fun...but that is a lie. It took me going to rehab to deal with the issues behind why I was using...and why I was doing other stuff for that matter too...but once I delt with the issues behind it it's like the cravings and the want went away... I don't know how to describe it other than that. Now, as of this day I have no desire to use....I've thought about using 1 time in a year and a half and thats only because it was being used in front of my face...but it still didn't bother me. You hear these stories about people who relapse, relapse, relapse....it's a cycle. I see it happening in front of my face....a good friend of mine....her boyfriend is a thug...recently "temporarily" lost his kids to CPS, got arrested for a burglary charge 2 days ago....while he is on probation. He was the one that was using in front of me. It's like the more stress comes in his life the more he uses. Now that CPS is involved...now that he got arrested 2 days ago...is CPS gonna pull the plug now? Are they gonna say you had your chance and you got arrested while you were supposed to be getting your shit together? He's digging a deeper hole....and he doesn't even realize it. But I didn't realize what I was doing to myself either. It's just frustrating when you try to tell people not to go down the road I went down...it's not worth it....and it's like they don't listen...they just have to see for themselves. All this to say that I never thought I would be sitting on this side of the fence a year and a half ago....I thought I would still be using...I thought i would never get out.....but I did, and now you would have to drag me back kicking and screaming and you would have to force it down my throat to get me to use.....cause i have absolutly no desire to ever have that addicted feeling ever again...I just can't describe in words what that feeling was every morning....and if I went the rest of my life never having that feeling again it still wouldn't be long enough. I am happier and more fullfilled now than I ever thought I could be...and you couldn't pay me enough to go back to that time in my life. Eventually once my girls go to school I think i'm going to get into helping people with addictions somehow. Cause fact of the matter is....it's not this easy, or cut and dry for other drug users out there....you usually wrestle with it for your whole life. Anyhow...all that to say, I am SO thankful to all the people that helped and supported me out of that time in my life....and now I feel compelled to pass that help on to someone else. Cause it IS possible to come out of drugs!!
Good for you just keep it up and stay away from users (my sisters downfall after 2 years sober)
Congratulations on beating your demon and thank you for sharing your story. You may have already started helping others just by writing this post.

Dear editor,
For any of you running for an office in this country, you need to spend a few hours at the Berry Center after 4:00 p.m. for an extremely full house scenario of why the Center is so important. If the Center is closed where will these 15 - 20 kids go after school? Where will the adults go that use and so desperately need this access to the tech world? If they are like me, they don't have reception at home, or they can't afford the price of such conveniences.
Dear editor,
I am writing to encourage the readers of The Cynthiana Democrat to register to vote. Your vote is your voice for Democracy.
The last day to register is April 21, 2014.
Please register. Don't be left out of the voting process. Your voice needs to be heard loud and clear.
In Kentucky, your vote is not threatened, but your cousins in Ohio and other states may not get to register or vote.
To the editor:
Words cannot begin to express our growing gratitude for all God has done in our lives. Though our lives have changed drastically and the days have been hard, I am in awe of the positive changes that have occurred and are still occurring in our lives.
To the editor:
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Linda Furnish as Harrison County Clerk. I highly recommend Linda as a candidate to serve again as your county clerk.
Sheriff Bruce Hampton has proven to be an excellent sheriff and has done so much good for our community on all levels.
He is a dad, husband and granddad who believes in standing up for what is right and helping to keep our families safe.
I appreciate Sheriff Hampton and his family for the sacrifices they've made for our community.
Lois Kidwell
Many thanks for printing my last "Letter to the Editor." We found Carl Taylor at the Veterans Center in Wilmore and I have received a letter from him. I'm so grateful to connect with him once again.
Just one person replied to my letter in your paper and that was Jeanette Sowder of Cynthiana, but that's all it took. I'm very grateful that she took the time to write me. I may have a new pen pal!
Thank you for your phone call and the follow-up to my inquiry.
Deanna Tebby

Thank you Becky Barnes for your editorial concerning another parking lot on Pike Street. I agree with you completely.
If the building on Pike and Walnut Sts. must be torn down, let's turn the area into a pretty little park. We would have something that we could be proud of - not another parking lot.
A very concerned citizen.
Carolyn Lancaster
Cynthiana, Ky.
To the editor:
If I were a candidate in the up and coming election, I would listen carefully to what the citizens are saying about the current situations in my backyard. I would want to know why they don't like the new bypass, why they don't want money wasted on the perspective boat dock with summer water levels at 2" deep, and more importantly, what the teens and young adults in my neighborhood are doing with their leisure time.

Obamacare: What Would Success Look Like?By
The first days of the Affordable Care Act's health exchanges were rocky but not disastrous. The success of Obamacare won't be determined in week one. It will be years before we know whether the law can achieve its long-term goal of getting more Americans insured while slowing the growth of medical costs. Here's what to watch in a month, six months, a year, and beyond to gauge whether the nation's experiment in health reform is working.
One month from now: How difficult is it to enroll?
The exchange websites on Day One were glitchy and unequipped to handle the number of people who showed up to shop. Opening week exposed such unexpected problems as how people who lack e-mail accounts must struggle to buy insurance online. The White House compared the exchanges to a new tech product that will be improved over time and pleaded for the lenience consumers grant Apple on a buggy software update. But if healthcare.gov and the state-run insurance portals aren't working more smoothly by November, it's a signal that the software problems are deeper than routine bugs or servers swamped by launch day traffic.
Six months from now: Who signed up?
The exchanges' first open-enrollment period lasts through the end of March. About 7 million people are expected to sign up for health plans by then, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates. The White House has indicated that about 2.7 million of them need to be younger, healthy people. These are likely to see premiums rise under the ACA because the law restricts how much the insurance companies can vary premiums by age. Opponents of Obamacare such as Generation Opportunity are warning young people to stay away, while boosters like the Young Invincibles are urging them to sign up for care. Six months from now, exchanges should know how many signed up—and whether enough healthy people are paying into the system to cover the costs of the sick.
One year from now: How much are they paying?
The whole point of exchanges is to use competition to drive down premiums by letting people compare similar plans, side by side. But premiums could rise if insurers lowballed prices in the first year or incorrectly predicted the mix of healthy and sick people who would sign up. Higher premiums would keep healthy people away, potentially creating a death spiral of ever-rising premiums to insure an ever-sicker group of consumers. Also watch for how many insurance companies begin offering plans in 2014. Some of the largest, like UnitedHealth, are mostly staying on the sidelines right now. If they decide to offer exchange plans next year, the competition will put further downward pressure on prices.
The years ahead: Is what we spend on health care slowing down?
Eighteen cents of every dollar spent in America goes to health care, more than in other rich nations, and Americans aren't any healthier for it. Obamacare has dozens of mechanisms aimed at improving people's health while slowing the growth of medical spending. They include subsidies to help people buy insurance, penalties if they don't, and payments that reward doctors and hospitals for better results, not more procedures. We don't know how they'll all work together. The growth of health-care spending has moderated since 2009, though the weak U.S. economy accounts for much of the slowdown. For the health reform experiment to work, Americans need to get more for those 18¢.

Anna Richards, fire ecology postdoc
Read all about it (Image: Everett Collection/Rex Features)
Training and personal development is something that can sometimes get left behind in many post-docs and PhD courses as you struggle to write the next grant application, scientific paper or analyse the next sample. However, programs that develop these areas can be really useful, as I recently discovered.
In early June I participated in a national event called Fresh Science. Fresh Science focuses on training post-docs and PhD students to effectively communicate their science to the media and general public. Part of this required us to distil our scientific findings into a 1-minute spiel using everyday language.
This is actually pretty hard for your average scientist as we hate leaving out the details and caveats, and cringe at "talking up" our science. It was also useful to hear that most journalists really do want to portray an accurate version of the science and are not trying to catch you out! This was heartening as my research overlaps with the controversial territories of climate change and carbon taxes. Plus, as I work for a government-funded research organisation I must be careful not to comment on government policy.
With this knowledge in hand and a more rosy feeling about interacting with the media, I issued my first media release a few weeks ago. One journalist I confirmed my research findings to completely misquoted and misconstrued my science, resulting in an entirely different story that demeaned the work of my collaborators and made broad sweeping statements about government policy.
In effect, the journalist had used my story to push their own agenda, swamping my scientific message in the process. Luckily, our collaborators understood what had happened and no damage was done. I subsequently did several radio interviews, which allowed me to communicate the correct scientific message.
This experience has made me consider this question - how can we, as scientists, communicate our science to the public - which we have an obligation to do since most of us are publicly funded in some way - without coming unstuck?
Training is useful - it definitely helped me wade through the murky waters stirred up in the newspaper article, but I think it is the increasing use of online media that could really change things. Forums such as blogs and Twitter allow us to communicate the science ourselves, when we want and in our own words.
This has already started to happen in many places (see the link above) but scientists should be actively encouraged by their organisations to get onboard with these kinds of tools so that it becomes the rule rather than the exception. We should embrace it because, for the first time, there is an opportunity for us to have a real voice.

Hey Guys!
These links will take you to the editing help pages for wiki code.
You should use these pages to familiarise yourself with the basic wiki code that will help you document your project and thus help each keep each other (and us!) in touch with what you are doing.
Later on a different code may probably be chosen and used, to start with wiki is more than suitable however.
In particular, it will help you to know how to work with:
- Fonts and text highlights such as bold and italics
- Bulletpoints
- Page Layouts
- Tables
- Pictures and Media (eg. word documetns)
- Referencing using PMIDS
Meta page on Wiki Tables - This far more advanced and me be of use later on
To help you get used to this - and find areas of common interest!
- Add some details to your user page!
- Add an image - feel free to use a random one for now (eg. Bottom of Tom's page)
- Add the reference for your favourite research paper using a PMID tag
- Make a new page in you user space called iGEM_Interests.
- On this page, make a 3 column, 6 row table with the columns headed with 'Interest', 'Collaborator 1' and 'Collaborator 2'
- Fill in the interest column with 5 topics (eg. Standards, Bioremediation, Yeat etc.) - one per row)
- You biggest interest should be written in bold and your second biggest in italics
- When you have finished 1 and 2, go to your team mates' iGEM Interests pages and enter your name in the Collaborator 1 or 2 cell for any interest you share with them (ie. one of the 5 you also wrote!)
If you have any questions or difficulties with this, feel free to ask

Dennis Hopper cancer headlines deal with Dennis Hopper's prostate cancer. After Dennis Hopper discovered he had prostate cancer, he cancelled all trips and entered a "special program†at the USC Medical Center, according to LA Late.
 Dennis Hopper just completed filming season two of "Crash.â€Â In addition, Dennis Hopper was set to appear in Australia at an art exhibit entitled "Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood.â€Â The exhibit was to display art and photographs by Dennis Hopper.
 Dennis Hopper cancer headlines have made many people sad. When actors such as Dennis Hopper have issues such as cancer, it touches the hearts of their fans. Of course many people will be bummed that Dennis Hopper will miss some events, but Dennis Hopper's cancer battle is far more important.
 According to the American Cancer Society, in 2009 approximately 192,280 new cases of prostate cancer (the cancer Dennis Hopper has) will be diagnosed, and 27,360 men will die as a result. However, more than 2 million men diagnosed with prostate cancer are still alive.
 Although prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in men, Dennis Hopper has a good chance of beating his cancer. Dennis Hopper's cancer is serious, but with the right treatment he should experience a recovery. The 5 year survival rate is nearly 100% and the 10 year survival rate is 91%. The 15 year prostate cancer survival rate is 76%. Modern advances are expected to increase these rates.
 Dennis Hopper cancer headlines are undoubtedly sad. Many fans feel bad after finding out about Dennis Hopper's cancer. However, Dennis Hopper's cancer is treatable, and hopefully Dennis Hopper will experience a full recovery.

Former Polish President Walesa discharged from Texas hospital
Published 6:00 pm, Monday, March 3, 2008
Former Polish President Lech Walesa was discharged from a Houston hospital Tuesday, four days after surgeons successfully implanted a pacemaker.
The device, which may help the 64-year-old Walesa avoid a heart transplant, was implanted during a two-hour procedure at Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center.
"My health is very much improved. It has been a long time since I have felt this good," Walesa said in a statement. "I have received medical care all over the world, and I never felt quite so good as I do today. This is a very good outcome and I am overjoyed that I do not need a heart transplant at this time."
Walesa, whose doctors have put him on an exercise program, planned to travel to Mexico to participate in a youth conference.
"I hope to work harder than ever to help people around the world," he said. "Dictators and oppressors should continue to fear me because I will be here for a long time."
Walesa came to Houston for tests last week and had a stent implanted into a clogged coronary artery. Among his symptoms were chest pain, fatigue and shortness of breath. He previously had a heart attack and suffers from sleep apnea and diabetes.
The device implanted Feb. 29 is a biventricular pacemaker-defibrillator. The pacemaker synchronizes the contractions of his heart, while the defibrillator will be on standby to shock the heart if needed.
Walesa's doctors hope the pacemaker, along with a stent and the treatment Walesa received for his sleep apnea and diabetes, will prevent the need for a heart transplant, said Dr. Guillermo Torre, his cardiologist.
Doctors should have a better idea in the next three months whether a heart transplant will be needed.
Walesa, a former Gdansk shipyard electrician, led a workers' strike in 1980 that grew into the nationwide Solidarity freedom movement against Poland's communist authorities. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983. In 1989, Solidarity toppled Poland's communist regime and Walesa went on to serve as Poland's first democratically elected president, from 1990-95.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – Pennsylvania prison officials say they plan to close two state prisons. They cite falling inmate numbers, the need to save money and other factors.
The Wolf administration said Friday the two will be chosen from a list of five facilities, and the decision about which two to shutter will be announced in three weeks.
The five prisons on the list are Frackville, Mercer, Pittsburgh, Retreat and Waymart.
All staff will be offered transfers to other facilities.
The state prison population is now just over 49,000. It was close to 52,000 in 2012.
Another factor in the closings is that room for an additional 1,000 inmates recently became available at Camp Hill State Prison.
The decision about which two to close will be made Jan. 26.

Who Said That?
"We don't want people coming in every day making everyone else's life miserable."
-- David Young, an employment and labor attorney at Fisher & Phillips in Orlando
Linda Dunavent spoke to the Orlando Sentinel's Greg Dawson about being a victim of workplace bullying in hopes of encouraging others like her to break their silence and join her campaign for a legal remedy to behavior still outside the reach of the law.
The response to the story exceeded her hopes and opened her eyes.
"Oh, my goodness," she said. "I knew I was not alone. But who knew it was that bad?"

FIRE crews were called to a gas explosion at a disused care home in Liversedge this morning.
The blast happened around 6.25am at the former Strawberry Bank Care Home in Strawberry Bank, Millbridge.
Crews from Cleckheaton and Batley were called out to the scene. Nobody was injured.
Cleckheaton White Watch commander Damian Cameron said two men had been spotted running from the scene and initial investigations indictated the explosion could have been caused by metal thieves stripping copper piping from the empty building.

7:3. And four great beasts, different one from another, came up out of the sea.
The 'sea' is the Mediterranean Sea, and the 'four great beasts' are from countries which surround or influence it.
7:17. These four great beasts, are four kingdoms, which shall arise out of the earth.
The 'first beast' is Islam, also known as Muslim, Mohammadanism.
7:4. The first was like a lioness, and had the wings of an eagle: I beheld till her wings were plucked off, and she was lifted up from the earth, and stood upon her feet as a man, and the heart of a man was given to her.
The 'heart of a man' is the false prophet Mohammad.
The 'second beast' is Communism.
7:5. And behold another beast, like a bear, stood up on one side: and there were three rows in the mouth thereof, and in the teeth thereof, and thus they said to it: Arise, devour much flesh.
The 'third beast' is Freemasonry.
7:6. After this I beheld, and lo, another like a leopard, and it had upon it four wings, as of a fowl, and the beast ha and power was given to it.
The 'four wings' is it's universality, to be found in every country, government and church.
The 'four heads' are the four satanic lodges: blue, red, black and orange.
The 'fourth beast' is Zionism.
7:7. After this I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo, a fourth beast, terrible and wonderful, and exceeding strong, it had great iron teeth, eating and breaking in pieces, and treading down the rest with his feet: and it was unlike to the other beasts which I had seen before it, and had ten horns.
7:23. The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be greater than all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
The 'ten horns' are the 'ten kingdoms' already set up by the Zionist cult. This is dealt with in my book 'Understanding the Apocalypse' Chapter 17, verses 12 and 13.
'greater than all the kingdoms' because it finances the other beasts, "and all things obey money" (Ec 10:19).
7:8. I considered the horns, and behold another little horn sprung out of the midst of them: and three of the first horns were plucked up at the presence thereof: and behold eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
This 'horn' is the Antichrist, a Zionist, who sets up the 'kingdom of Zion' to oppose 'The Kingdom of God.'
7:19. After this I would diligently learn concerning the 'fourth beast,' which was very different from all, and exceeding terrible: his teeth and claws were of iron: he devoured and broke in pieces, and the rest he stamped upon with his feet:
7:20. And concerning the ten horns that he had on his head: and concerning the other that came up, before which three horns fell: and of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth speaking great things, and was greater than the rest.
7:24. And the ten horns of the same kingdom, shall be ten kings: and another shall rise up after them, and he shall be mightier than the former, and he shall bring down three kings (Islam, Communism, Freemasonry).
7:21. I beheld, and lo, that horn made war against the saints, and prevailed over them,
7:11,12. I beheld, because of the voice of the great words which that horn spoke: and I saw that the beast was slain, and the body thereof was destroyed, and given to the fire to be burnt, and that the power of the other beasts was taken away: and that times of life were appointed them for a time, and a time.
Zionism is defeated, the Antichrist is defeated, and both are cast down into hell for ever and ever, they and their supporters, as it is written:
7:27. And that the kingdom, and power, and the greatness of the kingdom, under the whole heaven, may be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: Whose kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and all kings shall serve Him, and shall obey Him.
7:18. The saints of the Most High God shall take the kingdom: and they shall possess the Kingdom for ever and ever.
Amen. So be it. Alleluia!!

Augustus Wollaston Franks is depicted here second from left, with Scharf (far right) and two others. Scharf sketched this portrait by gaslight on a lithographic stone in his Library at Ashley Place, as a present to send to an absent acquaintance. Franks was the Keeper of British & Mediaeval antiquities and Ethnography at the British Museum and a long-term friend, frequently visiting Scharf at home or at the Gallery, and vice versa. They would confer on aspects of museum practice and matters of scholarship, Scharf's diaries hinting at a relationship of informal professional exchange.

When I started this blog I saw it as a means to communicate my own research with a crowd beyond ordinary researchers in academia. I also wanted a tool where I could present temporary research findings faster than slow-paced academic publications, and where I could be freer in form and writing. Very soon I found out that friends and colleagues felt the same needs. I extended this space to include text of theirs as well. At times strangers approached me to publish here and at times I have approached people to write something for me. A few times I have also after permission re-published texts that I found particularly interesting.
Although it may shift over time main focus on blog posts published lays on conflict, peace and security on the African continent. I am also interested in images of Africa; how a diverse continent is portrayed in western/northern media and the politics around it.
My personal research interest is conflicts/post-conflicts in West Africa in particular. I have researched and resided for several years in Liberia and Sierra Leone and followed the wars and post-war reconstructions since my first encounter with Sierra Leone in 1992. In addition to this I have written about the conflicts in Mali, CAR and Nigeria. In East Africa I have researched Somalia, with shorter stints of fieldwork in Nairobi and Dubai.

Generally, I like the current public draft. However there is one inconsistency that bugs me. Specifying Descriptions, you use the word "Description", however specifying Sequences, for example, you use the word "Seq". Either spell them all out or abbreviate them all. Be consistent. My preference is the abbreviation, with Description being represented by "Descr" or "Desc".Received on Wednesday, 27 May 1998 13:05:45 UTC

In Fall 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) awarded $12 million to the University of Massachusetts Department of Orthopedics and Physical Rehabilitation to develop and implement FORCE-TJR, a nationwide, comprehensive database of total joint replacement (TJR) surgical and patient-reported outcomes. The FORCE-TJR research effort is collecting data from more than 30,000 TJR patients, and developing tools with which to record the patients' assessment of the success and failure of their surgery, and conducting research to guide both clinical care and health care policy.

Raise your hand if you've ever had a similar experience:
Last night for supper, Hubby Bryan and I planned on having Sloppy Joes — leftover sauce (recipe from Kris Westerlund and Julie Haas published in the July 10 Lagniappe) that had been frozen. We took out a plastic freezer dish that we assumed contained the Sloppy Joe mixture, but when thawed, it contained chunks of chicken, not ground beef.
Hmmmmm. Definitely not Sloppy Joe sauce.
After a bit more searching, we located the correct meat mixture in the downstairs freezer and consumed it on buns along with a pasta side salad and cole slaw.
The problem is, we have no idea what the food is in the other container. From tasting what had already thawed, I believe it to be chicken in some sort of southwest-based sauce. But neither Bryan nor I can remember making anything of the sort. I've been searching my memory, trying to figure out what it could possibly be, but so far have come up with no likely suspects.
It is indeed mystery meat, and if we can't determine its origins will likely end up in the waste disposal. For the moment, it's back in the freezer, just in case one of us has a mental breakthrough.
One thing is for sure: we will likely label things more carefully in the future. I'm sure when it was put into frozen storage, whichever one of us is to blame thought we surely wouldn't forget what the plastic contained.
Wrong. Evidently it was a highly forgettable meal.
On to a couple of seasonal recipes that hopefully aren't so forgettable. The first comes from Colorado sister and brother-in-law Margaret and Don Hinchey. Gazpacho is one of their favorite dishes at this time of year,
"We Hincheys are dieting and found this yummy and low cal," shares Margaret.
End of Summer Gazpacho
In a food processor puree 5 medium plum tomatoes that have been peeled and chopped; 1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped; 1 medium green pepper, chopped; 4 medium green onions, sliced. Pour into a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups canned tomato juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon Tabasco sauce.
Cover tightly and refrigerate at least two hours. Keeps for several days.
( I double the recipe when I make it because it goes quickly.)
And from DotMom's "Mixing & Musing," another treatment for tomatoes.
Marinated Tomatoes
Combine 1 package dried Italian salad dressing mix, ¼ cup chopped onion, ¼ cup chopped celery, 1/3 cup wine vinegar, ½ cup rosé wine and ½ cup salad oil.
Add 4 sliced tomatoes (or cherry or grape tomatoes would be good, too) and marinate in the mixture for several hours before serving.
Once again, YOUR favorite recipes — seasonal or not — are always appreciated for this forum. E-mail email@example.com or send to Daily Globe, Box 639, Worthington 56187.

When we used detergents for cleaning it is important that the cleaners have a very good anti-bacterial, anti viral effect and above all should be safe for our birds. Antibacterial agents are frequently used in medical areas. In view of the many possibilities of infections in our birdcages, hatching cages or aviaries, high quality demands on the cleaning products are important. Our aviaries are places where germs should not get the chance to flourish. In this context, the anti-bacterial cleaning product should play an important protective role in our cleaning protocol. An good antibacterial cleaner should have a strong inhibitory and bactericidal effect.
Your birds are worth it, Avian Products if quality counts!

I bought this blind about 10 or 15 years ago; mailorder from paris. Those were the days! Anyway, it had a very cool rubberized bottle.
The fragrance reminded me of the Lanvin for Men scent available at that time. Not the new one for sale now but the great one from years past in the nice tall bottle.
Sharp, rich fougère.
I saw it on perfumebay but they appear to be sold out.

Sonics guard Luke Ridnour took a shot to the nose on defense and left Tuesday's preseason opener with the Sacramento Kings with 6:49 left in the first period. Ridnour was in the key when he appeared to catch an elbow that staggered him. He stood dazed near the top of the key while Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo yelled at official Billy Kennedy to stop the game.
By the time the Sonics retrieved the rebound, Ridnour's nose was bloody and he was taken off the court by head training Mike Shimensky. The team announced he would not return.

AT&T U-Verse Is Out Across 12 States In The Southeast And Southwest
Michael Harper for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
If you really want to make people upset, try taking away their Internet and television. For many, these are mere luxuries, the absence of which is nothing more than an inconvenience, at best. For others, these services are crucial to their home or small business and can be of major concern.According to several blogs and Twitter complaints, AT&T´s U-Verse customers in the southern areas of the United States are currently without access to the web or their favorite television stations. AT&T has acknowledged an outage of some kind on Twitter, saying: "U-verse customers in some markets may be experiencing service issues -- we're working to resolve ASAP and apologize for any inconvenience."
According to an unnamed source, U-Verse customers in 9 states of the Southeast region and 3 states in the Southwest region are currently experiencing outages. Complete service has yet to be restored.
The PR team running the Twitter account has also been busy over the last few hours apologizing to many users and asking them to be patient with them as they work to restore service.
According to consumerist.com, the outage seems to be mostly affecting users in the South. Atlanta, Florida and Texas are pretty well represented as states without U-Verse access, but some on Twitter claim the outage goes as far west as California.
Some customers have even been experiencing outages since yesterday afternoon, unable to use their U-Verse service.
One AT&T spokesperson has given an official statement to The Miami Herald, saying: "A team of engineers and technicians are working to resolve the issue, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our customers."
It´s this relative silence from AT&T which seems to be angering U-Verse customers the most. One Twitter user has claimed they were on hold with AT&T for nearly an hour before being told about this outage. Another Twitter user claims they´ll be removing an entire day from their bill due to the outage. Several other Twitter users have made the observation that a communications company has yet to clearly communicate about this issue.
Several other Twitter users have been discussing what shows they´ll be missing this evening and lamenting that they now have nothing to do at home. There are even some who are claiming the U-Verse outage is affecting their home businesses.
This outage only affects U-Verse customers. Those AT&T customers with cable, Internet or landline without a U-Verse package should still have access to their services during this outage.

China: Greener than you think
China may have guzzled a lot of carbon in its 30 years of industrialisation, but it could achieve a clean energy miracle in the next 30, argues Wu Changhua in New Scientist.
As the largest emitter of carbon dioxide in the world, China clearly has a number of urgent environmental issues to address. But alarming statistics and the image of a country opening a new coal-fired power station every week are misleading, says Wu.
China has been replacing its small power stations with a new generation of stations incorporating clean coal technologies, Wu says. And wind, solar and biomass power are developing apace.
This is largely down to leadership from the central government, which has established the National Renewable Energy Law and is backing new, cleaner power stations.
Awareness about energy saving is rising among the public too, exemplified by impressive sales of electric bikes employing technology similar to that in hybrid cars.
Wu says much of this progress has been unsung. Still, China could do more. While the world needs to revise its image of China as just a carbon polluter and work with the country more constructively, China too needs to learn from the international community.

New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat
Written by Taylor Birkey
For the longest time I have avoided Hefeweizen. Years ago I ordered Hacker-Pschorr every now and then, but when I got into craft beer for real, the heavy and unfiltered banana & clove was just too much for me. It was too thick, sweet and musty of a style for me. I had more important things on my mind, like hops. This trend has continued for almost 2 years, until now.
A friend convinced me to try New Glarus' Dancing Man Wheat a month or so ago. I was curious about it because I'd tried their Crack'd Wheat Hefe and didn't remember being that happy about it. What was different about this one? Then I opened it, poured it, and drank it down. In like five minutes. Now I can at least say that I like "a" Hefeweizen!
Dancing Man is a big Hefe at 7.2% … and it's a little darker. Looks more like a Weizenbock actually. It pours that dark golden hue into my Weizen glass, with a nice big fluffy white head that's bursting with banana/clove and lemon. Served really cold, it looks and smells like it should.
I've read some reviews that praise Dancing Man as a great beer to drink in winter … I wouldn't know about that. I think it's an awesome beer to drink on a hot day. It's not super yeasty and doesn't sit too heavily on the palate. Banana/clove is very balanced and not overpowering. There is a definitely malt presence that shores up the taste quite well, and that lemony kick to add to the freshness of the overall taste. Served ice cold, this is a really refreshing beer. Fruity, not overly sweet, crisp … this is a Hefeweizen I will be drinking a lot more of. And it's given me a new taste for the style.
Next I'm going to have to drink some Weihenstephaner.New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat,

text: Hi, In in6_control() there seems to be an splnet() surrounding the call to in6_control1(). Without going into debate whether or not splnet() around the entire function is necessary, at the very least it prevents me from using real kauth(9) calls. Therefore, I would like to - add a switch statement in in6_control(), where we currently issue the kauth(9) call, and perform the call only for the cases where in6_control1() checks for the "privileged" variable - modify in6_control1() to not take a "privileged" variable anymore, and instead place a comment ("/* Privileged, see in6_control(). */" or something) where the variable used to be checked Are there any objections to such a change? Thanks, -e.

Have to post a link to this amazing story as a matter of record.
This will be played down or spun by the MSM – like being released on Christmas in hope it will be quickly forgotten.
for full text
Last month we told you about John Beale, the Environmental Protection Agency employee who bilked taxpayers out of almost $900,000 by pretending to be a secret agent. Telling EPA colleagues that he was a CIA operative, Beale was paid for long absences while on imaginary missions for "Langley." Now there is a disturbing new question about John Beale that goes to the heart of the EPA's mission. What was he doing when he actually showed up for work?
In September, Beale pleaded guilty to theft of government property and agreed to pay $886,186 in restitution and to forfeit another $507,207. On Wednesday he was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison.
The Beale affair is a classic story of government waste, fraud and mismanagement. But it is much more than that, because Beale was no low-level bureaucrat, unknown to senior officials and operating in the depths of the agency. He was among the EPA's most senior, most highly paid officials, one entrusted with formulating the agency's most controversial policies. Thus the consequences of his EPA tenure go far beyond the specific fraud for which he will now go to prison.
From 1989 until 2013, Beale was employed in the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), which develops policies and regulations related to air pollution and climate change. It is the most powerful office within one of Washington's most powerful agencies, given the costs it can impose on American business and consumers. And for much of his time Beale was senior policy adviser. According to his plea agreement, his specific duties included assisting the head of OAR "in planning, policy implementation, direction, and control of EPA programs."
From 2009 until 2013, the head of OAR was Gina McCarthy, who is currently the EPA Administrator. So not only was Beale within view of senior managers as he pulled off his astounding fraud, he was directly managed by the woman who now runs the place. And if there was any doubt about how influential John Beale was in formulating key EPA policies, it seems to have been put to rest by E&E Publishing's Greenwire. Via a Freedom of Information Act request, the trade publication obtained a collection of agency emails related to Beale.
Enlarge Image
At 10:44 a.m. EST on December 3, 2010, Ms. McCarthy wrote to her staff at OAR and reported: "I am pleased to let you know that John Beale will be resuming his role as the Immediate Office's lead for all of OAR's international work." She added: "Most of you know John well as he has been a very large presence in much of OAR's work for over 20 years. In addition to lead roles in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments, the early implementation of the Act, the development and negotiation of the National Low Emission Vehicle Program, and the 1997 [National Ambient Air Quality Standards] review, John served as OAR's lead for international work from 1990 thru [sic] 2005. Beginning in 1999, John managed OAR's work on climate change as well as all other international work."
Ms. McCarthy further gushed that "I am very excited to finally get the opportunity to work closely with him. In addition to the international work John will continue to work on various special projects for me."
There's more. In an odd conclusion to that December 2010 staff bulletin, Ms. McCarthy wrote that Beale "is supposed to be sitting in [office] 5426B of Ariel Rios North, but good luck finding him. We are keeping him well hidden so he won't get scooped away from OAR anytime soon." Few CEOs in private business could keep their jobs after lauding and entrusting with key responsibilities the perpetrator of a fraud against the company.
Beale's attorney John Kern says his client "has come to recognize that, beyond the motive of greed, his theft and deception were animated by a highly self-destructive and dysfunctional need to engage in excessively reckless, risky behavior." Mr. Kern adds that Beale was motivated "to manipulate those around him through the fabrication of grandiose narratives" because of "his insecurities."
Are we now supposed to believe that in contrast to his other lies, the work Beale chose to perform at EPA is the product of careful and honest analysis? What Congress needs to examine is whether the policies that the head of EPA says were shaped to a large degree by Beale were also based on fraud. Oh, and what Gina McCarthy knew or suspected, and why she so admired a fraudster.

BFGMiner - News: BFGMiner 3.3.0 released
[Submit News]
[31 news in archive]
BFGMiner 3.3.0 released
Item posted by Luke Dashjr <lukedashjr> on Fri 11 Oct 2013 11:13:51 PM UTC.
3.0.9 is promoted to stable, and 2.10.x discontinued.
Human readable changelog:
- New drivers for bitfury-based devices: BFSB/MegaBigPower(v2 only!) kits, Big Picture Mining USB (BF1, RedFury, BlueFury, etc), LittleFury, and Metabank. See README.ASIC for setup instructions.
- Support for proxy virtual devices has been extended to include the stratum protocol when the upstream pool selected is also stratum and supplies sufficient extranonce2 space. If the upstream pool does not meet this criteria, stratum clients will be disconnected and new ones will fail to subscribe. You can take advantage of this to failover to the getwork proxy. Support for upstream getwork pools is impossble, but GBT is planned.
- opencl: Driver is disabled by default if FPGAs or ASICs are detected. To enable, use -S opencl:auto
- Third hashrate displayed is now based on nonces found, adjusted for pool rejected/stale shares. It should still be approximately equivalent to your effective/earning hashrate, but with better accuracy.
- Utility on the TUI status line has been replaced with expected Income, measured as 100% PPS BTC per hour for easy comparison with electric costs.
- RPC: Methods shared with cgminer now only consider entire devices, to be more compatible. A set of new processor-detail methods have been added to get full information per-processor.
- RPC: Old devdetail method has been made compatible with cgminer devdetails and renamed.
- New options --chroot-dir and --setuid on POSIX systems (thanks Ricardo!).

Grand Cayman Beaches, dumb question
So Grand Cayman doesn't have many all-inclusive beaches at all (if any?). So any other beaches, they are just free? No chairs or umbrellas or anything at all? How do beaches work there? Free is fine, then just buy lunch wherever we want. But a chair and some shade is needed while on the beach.
Grand Cayman is Seven Mile Beach. If you go to the public part there is a place to change and you have a place to buy food and drinks and eat in the shade. I think you can rent floaties and stuff too, but I'm not sure as we didn't. There are cabs to take you to the beach and back. No probs.
I suppose you call this natural & unspoilt...
No, I don't.
It has the stuff, so it's not natural and unspoiled.
Most of 7 mile beach is fronted by big hotels. Some will allow you to use "their" section. Definitely not unspoiled at all. Used to be...oh well. There is a small section at the far end from the ships that is a true public beach. But, it is still a gorgeous beach. Enjoy!
The OP was asking about beaches that had facilities, inferring that those without were some how less desirable....these beaches were those I said could be thought of by some as natural & unspoiled....
I shouldn't worry the ship probably won't stop there anyway, notorious for being missed due to weather!! :-)) In would imagine anywhere on 7 mile beach would be OK for you....can't say too much our ship didn't stop!!
Personally, I would not pay for a tour when you can get off the ship and take a taxi to the beach for much cheaper. They will take you to the public beach for so much money per person or to the private beach for a bit more ($2.00) per person. I don't know what you can get at the private beach though. Someone else will have to tell you what they have. If you want to do the waverunners, you will have to do that in advance though. As for the beach, you could do everything else at the public beach, just walk a little way off from the crowd.
