Iron Dwarves.
Dwarves are the most techniquely inclined of the races, as the saying goes "Dwarves have minds of grinding gears and metal". Always trying to improve on things, however all of this engineering genius they lack in the magical departments. Save in the arts of Rune Magic, allowing them to make magical artifacts and raw Elemental forces. And mages are very rare to see in dwarf fortresses. Dwarves are generally though are solitary species, and prefer to keep their noses out of the business of other races. However despite this, they enjoy an alliance with humans and seem to work well together. Dwarves in general tend to live in mountainous are hill like terrain, and build their great halls and fortresses into the very earth itself.
Starting Age/Lifespan: Most dwarves reach the age of maturity by the time they are 30 years of age. Dwarves are a sturdy long lived folk and can generally live about three times longer than most humans can (210-270 years of age).
Description: Dwarves vary in size from 4'2" to 4'10" in height, with men being two inches taller than women. And in general dwarves are a hardy and sturdy race, broad of chest and shoulders. Though despite their smaller size are deft of hand, and great runners. Their skin is generally a light earth like tone, almost looking tan.
Native Language: Dwarves speak Noldan, and often write in their own variation of Runic.
Religious Beliefs: To be Written

Their ability to survive has only increased, and their senses enhanced to a greater degree. Senses 3 (Darkvision, Detect Direction (underground)) * Add 3 points to the cost. Complication: Light Sensitive. (Deep Ones however are sensitive to light, and suffer a -1 penalty to all actions in bright light, or -2 to sunlight).

Builders Notes:
I had been wanting to stat up some of the Shield stuff, since I rather like playing the Marvel Avengers game on Facebook. lol. And this is a nice break from the uber powerful builds I have been doing lately. So.. This is your typical shield agent, ready to play as a PL 6 character. And with 6 points to spare. Of course you could fiddle with the abilities, skills, and advantages, to tailor your own specific character.

Builders Notes:
Finally getting some Inspiration, I couldn't believe I hadn't done up my version of Captain America. On my PL chart I gauged him a PL 11, only one step lower from his 2nd Edition version. Props goes to Thorp, for the basic shield design. Which I only slightly adjusted for my own use, by adding another alt. effect .

The NHL-leading Ducks acquired veteran defenseman Stephane Robidas from the Dallas Stars and traded enigmatic left wing Dustin Penner to the Washington Capitals and backup goaltender Viktor Fasth to the Edmonton Oilers in a series of bold moves Tuesday.
The deals are a sure sign the Ducks are all-in in their pursuit of the Stanley Cup championship. Robidas will make their defense corps all the more difficult to play against while dealing Penner and Fasth was designed to trim roster duplication.
The Ducks sent a conditional fourth-round pick in the June draft to the Stars to acquire Robidas. They also acquired a fourth-round pick in June from the Capitals for Penner and a fifth-round pick in June plus a third-round selection next year from the Oilers for Fasth.
"I don't know him very well, but I do know we didn't like to play against him," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said of Robidas, 37. "He's a warrior who is always in our faces. We couldn't get away from him. He's a veteran presence who works his rear end off."
Or as general manager Bob Murray put it while meeting with reporters outside the team's dressing room after Tuesday's practice at the Honda Center, "This makes our team more difficult to play against. Just go ask any of our forwards."
Not to be overlooked was the fact that Robidas is a right-handed shot. Six of the Ducks' top seven defensemen are left-handed, which limited Boudreau's flexibility at times. Robidas also is eligible to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
Robidas has been sidelined since breaking his right leg Nov. 29 against the Chicago Blackhawks. He was expected to be sidelined for four to six months, but he said during a conference call that he hoped to make his Ducks debut within two weeks.
"It's huge for me," Robidas said of joining the Ducks. "I'm not getting any younger. You want to have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. I'm not a finesse player. I know my role. I know what I have to do. I'm not going to change. I'm going to be the same player. I think that's why they got me."
Robidas has 246 points (55 goals, 191 assists) in 871 games in the NHL. He's best known for agitating opposing forwards, however, and has had several run-ins with the Ducks' Corey Perry over the years. Robidas has five points, including four assists, in 24 games this season.
"I'm glad he's on my team now," Robidas said of Perry, the Ducks' leading goal-scorer with 32.
Penner played with varying degrees of effectiveness while skating on a line with Perry and team captain Ryan Getzlaf. Penner also was a healthy scratch at times during his second stint with the Ducks. He had 32 points, including 13 goals, in 49 games this season.
Kyle Palmieri skated in Penner's spot alongside Perry and Getzlaf during Tuesday's practice and Boudreau indicated it would be Palmieri's job for the foreseeable future, starting with tonight's game against the Montreal Canadiens at the Honda Center.
Fasth played only five games this season and was sidelined since suffering a lower-body injury in November. Frederik Andersen made the move to trade Fasth possible by going 15-3-0 with a 2.12 goals-against average as Jonas Hiller's backup.
The trade deadline is today at noon.
"The phones are still ringing, I'm still making calls, as is every other general manager in this league," Murray said. "I have no idea what the next 24 hours will bring. I have no idea, and we'll keep working. If I can make a hockey deal that makes sense and makes this hockey team better, we will do it."

Wednesday's six-pack
More NBA over/under win totals for the coming season:
Minnesota Timberwolves 48.5
Miami Heat 43.5
Philadelphia 76ers 42.5
New York Knicks 30.5
Brooklyn Nets 28.5
Atlanta Hawks 25.5
Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings……..
13) 5:15 into the Boston Celtics' season, Gordon Hayward severely injured his leg/ankle when he came down on an attempted alley-oop. It was a gruesome injury, reminiscent of Jason Kendall or Joe Theismann's grotesque leg injuries.
12) Damn, this is Lebron James' 15th year in the NBA? Time flies. I remember sitting in a bar having dinner, watching his high school game that ESPN showed. Think Bill Walton was the TV analyst that night; people were excited that Lebron scored 31 points.
Hell, I thought, if he's going to be in the NBA next year, he SHOULD score 31 points in a high school game, shouldn't he?
Obviously, Lebron has outperformed those huge expectations; good for him.
11) By the way, sounds like pretty soon, kids will able to go straight from high school to the NBA once again, which helps everyone, except veterans trying to hang on in the G-League.
10) Indianapolis Colts in the fourth quarter this season: they've been outscored 85-22, allowing 1,034 yards on 139 plays, an average of 7.4 yards per play.
Colts are 2-4, but they haven't trailed at halftime since Week 1 against the Rams.
9) Tennessee Titans have 7 takeaways in six games, but they're the only team in NFL that hasn't scored a touchdown after one of their takeaways.
Titans-Colts game Monday night had no punts in the first half, the first game in NFL this season without a first half punt.
8) Injured Vikings' QB Teddy Bridgewater is practicing this week, as he comes back from his severe knee injury; Minnesota has three weeks to decide whether to activate Bridgewater or IR him for the rest of the season. Bridgewater and Sam Bradford are both in the last year of their contracts; Vikings have some interesting decisions ahead of them.
7) Chicago Bulls Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic got into a fight today at practice and Mirotic wound up with broken bones in his face; he's going to be out for a few weeks, at least.
Curious how the analytics geniuses take this into account when they measure Portis, Mirotic as players. There is a human element to sports that can never be quantified— these guys live and travel together for months at a time. Part of being a good teammate is staying out of fights that send yourself or teammates to the hospital.
6) Best red zone offenses in NFL:
Packers 5.68 pts/possession, Eagles 5.56, Cowboys 5.33, Texans 5.25— Aaron Rodgers is gone for the year, so going forward, Green Bay's numbers figure to drop dramatically.
5) Best offenses on drives starting 75+ yards from end zone:
Saints 2.47, Chiefs 2.46, Titans 2.37, Patriots 2.16
Worst offenses on drives starting 75+ yards from end zone (includes points lost on TD"s scored by the opposing defense):
Colts 0.42, Bengals 0.51, Buccaneers 0.91, Lions 0.97
4) Most plays of 20+ yards this season:
Rams 31, Vikings 30, Patriots/Cardinals 29, Chiefs 27
3) Most TD's on plays of 20+ yards:
Raiders 8 (out of 13 total TD's), Chiefs 7 (18 total TD's), Titans 7 (13 total TD's), Jets 6 (11 total TD's), Lions 6 (14 total TD's)
2) Baseball update:
AL: New York 6, Houston 4— Astros' bullpen imploded; series is tied 2-2.
NL: Dodgers 6, Cubs 1– Chicago is going down meekly.
1) One of the best days of the year for me is when the Blue Ribbon Yearbook arrives at my door every October; the bible of college basketball, Blue Ribbon has a ton of useful information in it, and it got here Monday. If you like college basketball, it is well worth your time.

I can think of many "good" words that start with the letter "C". Besides my name, "chocolate" immediately comes to mind.
I went for a follow-up visit with my retina doctor last week and came back with a "C" word that I didn't like. It seems that while my retinas are doing fine, I am starting to develop cataracts.
What I'm developing are cortical cataracts. These are wedge-shaped formations that start on the outside edge of the lens and move toward the center as they grow. I have few symptoms at this point, with the exception that I'm nearly blind at night. It makes driving after hours (and after daylight savings time) challenging.
That being said, my doctor wants me to come back for a follow-up in six months and has already mentioned surgery.
I hope whatever comes into your field of view today brings you a smile. Thanks for checking in.

Two fined for Leeds parkland flytipping
A landlord and his builder have been fined for allowing waste to be flytipped at a Leeds beauty spot.
Tonnes of rubbish including beds, sofas, carpets, doors, cupboards, a television and other household items appeared overnight in Temple Newsam's parkland on 19 March 2012.
When called to investigate the illegal pile of waste, council enforcement officers found paperwork relating to a property on Armley Ridge Road amongst the discarded items.
Officers following up on this lead discovered that the property mentioned was undergoing renovation.
On visiting the property, building waste could be clearly seen piled in the yard.
When questioned, the property's landlord David Scott, and his builder James Cassidy, admitted that the waste dumped at the council-run park had come from their development. However, Cassidy claimed he had paid someone to take the rubbish away and that he believed they were authorised to dispose of waste.
Both pleaded guilty to offences under Section 33 (flytipping) and Section 34 (failing to control waste correctly) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Cassidy was fined £1,000 and ordered to pay £1,338.50 costs while landlord Scott received a £500 fine and ordered to pay £1,338.50 in costs in court last week.
Councillor Mark Dobson, executive member for the environment, said:
"If you are employing someone to take away your rubbish you really need to be sure that they comply with their waste responsibilities and have the right licenses in place.
"Allowing others to dump your rubbish won't be tolerated in Leeds and where we have evidence to support it, we will always seek to prosecute."
The costs Scott and Cassidy were ordered to pay will cover the costs of the clean up at Temple Newsam.

Waste Clearance London-The proprietor of a local waste clearance company has been apprehended and arraigned for diverse offenses involving illegal burning and burying of waste in Wayne County.
Joseph Bunell, 50 was arrested last Friday by authorities from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office.
Bunnel owns the Bunnell Waste Removal at 257 Tryon Street in Honesdale.
Based on the complaint, Bunnel was charged with obtaining money from clients while not properly dumping their garbage.
Attorney General Linda Kelly said Bunnell allegedly provided customers with bogus landfill weigh tickets which falsely indicated their buried and burned waste had been disposed of at a landfill.
The documents was gathered by Donald A. Hentz Jr., a special agent with the Office of Attorney General, Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Environmental Crimes Section.
Hentz said in October 2011, he interviewed someone who had worked at Bunnell for about six years.
The employee said that he was directed by Bunnell or BWR supervisory employee Jody Rickert to transport waste to one of the two sites in Wayne County.
He said waste was transported to the Tryon Street site in Honesdale where it was sorted by Bunnell employees and then burned or taken to the Keystone landfill in Dunmore.
The complaint says that waste was "driven up the hill at Tryon Street" by employees "early in the morning and burned primarily on foggy/rainy days."
The agent also interviewed a 20-year employee of Bunnell who said that approximately four to six loads of trash at a time were dumped at Tryon Street and sorted by laborers.
He said all wood, cardboard and tires were separated out to be burned at the site.
The affidavit also said that local fire departments were frequently called to the site to put out trash fires.
In December of 2011, the agent interviewed Don Hiller of the Seelyville Fire Department. Hiller told Hentz he was aware Bunnell had been burning waste on Tryon Street "for approximately five to seven years."
Hiller told investigators he remembered a specific incident on March 22, 2010, where he observed a pile of burning debris approximately 60 feet by 60 feet with flames 30 to 40 feet in the air. He described the debris as "construction and demolition waste consisting of beams, lumber, shingles, etc."
The agent also interviewed Department of Environmental Protection Solid Waste Specialist Mike Lucsky, who first began inspecting the Bunnell facility in 2004. Lucsky said he made numerous visits to the site and saw evidence of the processing, burning and burial of waste without DEP permits. He said several notices of violations and compliance have been issued to Bunnell for solid waste violations on Tryon Street.
A compliance order issued in March 2011 required removal of burned and buried waste. Lucsky monitored the cleanup of the Tryon Street property, including the extraction of 240 tons of burned and buried waste that was ultimately disposed of at the Keystone Sanitary Landfill.
In November 2011, the agent interviewed another employee of Bunnell, who said he was ordered to take roll-offs of waste to Tryon Street to be sorted and/or burned and he was additionally told to deliver construction and demolition waste to the Hunt property in northern Wayne County.
In February 2012, agents executed a search warrant at the Hunt property.
During the search, it was learned that Bunnell had paid $200 per load to dump waste at the Hunt property in northern Wayne County.
During the search, areas identified by witnesses were excavated and searched. Extensive burned areas were observed and buried waste was excavated, including construction and demolition waste, household items and ash.
DEP officials said they had not issued any permit for allowing disposal of solid waste at the Hunt property.
During another interview in January 2012, officials learned that Bunnell Waste never had any scales to weigh waste. The weights of the roll-offs were either estimated or determined at the Wayne County Recycling Center, the investigators were told.
Investigators also learned that Bunnell Waste staff members copied unrelated Keystone Sanitary Landfill weigh tickets that would "then be altered by changing information, including customer name, account number, vehicle code, date and time of transaction."
It states the altered weigh tickets were provided to Bunnell customers with billing/invoice documents.
"Customers were billed on the false weight on the altered Keystone Sanitary Landfill weigh tickets," stated the affidavit.
In August 2012, investigators interviewed Susan L. Mang, office manager of Bunnell Waste. Mang told investigators that Bunnell is involved in all aspects of the company and when he is not present, it is operated by Jody Rickert.
She added that during the course of the day, company drivers would call in and notify office staffof where they were and the type of load they had picked up. Then, either Joe Bunnell or Rickert directed where the loads would be taken. Loads were either returned directly to Tryon Street, taken to the Wayne County Recycling Center to be weighed and then returned to Tryon Street or delivered to the Keystone landfill for disposal. The affidavit says that loads returned to Tryon Street were either processed, burned and/or buried.
In July 2012, agents interviewed Dan O'Brien, business manager for Keystone Sanitary Landfill. He said Keystone provides customers with weigh tickets documenting transactions at the landfill. He also confirmed that Bunnell Waste is a customer of the landfill.
He said those tickets document the date and time of the transaction, net, gross and tare weight of the vehicle transporting the waste and location within the landfill grid system where the waste is disposed.
O'Brien said he "doubted it was possible for trucks to have the same gross, net and tare weights and stated it was virtually impossible for waste to be disposed of at the landfill in the same grid on different days."
Investigators reviewed 366 Bunnell weigh tickets, invoices and associated billing documents for BWR customers from Jan. 17, 2009, through May 11, 2012.
The agent noted "numerous instances where weigh tickets contained identical information regarding gross, net and tare weights, grid location and driver's signatures."
It was also determined the customers were billed in excess of $2,000 by Bunnell for proper waste disposal.
The agent cited various Pennsylvania codes which he alleges were violated by Bunnell.
Bunnell was charged with two counts of illegal transportation, one count of illegal dumping, one count of illegal burning, one count of illegal storage, one count of theft by deception and one county of corrupt organizations.
The last two counts are felonies and the other are misdemeanors.
He was arraigned last Friday by Magisterial District Judge Ted Mikulak and was released on $2,500 unsecured bail.

Got a new diary from Santa? Then you might also fancy a look at this list of new music things going on over the next few month. It's unapologetically UK biased, unapologetically in no order whatsoever and unapologetically full of gaps, but it is a start. I plan to be a bit more organised about music listings in the coming year, so if you have something going on in 2013 that you think I might be interested in, drop me a line.
The Southbank's The Rest is Noise festival will inevitably dominate new music scheduling, but that doesn't mean there won't be plenty going on beneath the heavily promoted surface. Here's a taste of some secret music.
Now in its fourth year, the Riot Ensemble, directed by Guildhall composer Aaron Holloway-Nahum, has six concerts lined up in 2013 showcasing a variety of new music by young composers and older classics.
ELISION will be playing at Huddersfield University on 8 February, in a concert of works featuring brass by Xenakis, Lim, Barrett and Cassidy, as well as an improvisation and three new student pieces. (The Rambler will be there to cover events.)
Edit Point will be performing with percussionist Glynn Forrest at Glasgow City Halls on 27 February in a programme of works for percussion and electronics.
EXAUDI's 2013 is taking shape, including Ferneyhough in Portugal, an IRCAM residency in June and a return to the Wigmore Hall in far-off November.
Plus-Minus perform works by composers close to the group on 18 March at Kings Place.
Loads of stuff going on at Cafe Oto, as always; among the composed music highlights are the return of the Outsider Music Collective and Phill Niblock at 80.
Distractfold Ensemble, founded by composers Mauricio Pauly and Sam Salem, have two shows coming up in the next few months: on 31 January they appear on a double bill with New York's MIVOS quartet at the Anthony Burgess Foundation in Manchester. On 24 March they will be playing at Sonic Fusion, Salford. Keep an eye on their website for more details of both.
NewDots is an organisation that connects emerging composers and performers; their next concert features Richard Uttley (piano) and the Atéa Wind Quintet, performing new works by five young composers. It takes place on 21 May at the Forge, Camden, London.
Among the major UK ensembles, the following two shows stand out straight away:
London Sinfonietta, Repeating Patterns: the Start of US Minimalism
26 and 27 February, Purcell Room, then 28 February at Turner Sims, Southampton
I'm surprised a cult programme of early Glass, Reich, Riley and Young has been plonked in the Southbank's smallest hall, even if it is getting two shows there – this one will surely sell out fast. Also available in Southampton on 28 February.
London Sinfonietta, Mauricio Kagel: The Pieces of the Compass Rose
1 June, Queen Elizabeth Hall
Kagel's 8-part 'musical travelogue' for salon orchestra, and an important reflection/critique on musical post-colonialism.
Outside the UK, EnsembleStudio6 is a new group recently formed in Belgrade. Their 2013 looks exciting, with works by Richard Barrett, Peter Ablinger, Kaija Saariaho, Balkan composers, etc.

Megan Smolenyak is probably exhausted from her whirlwind celebrity tour of New York, so while we wait to see more of what she and Brian have on Annie, I've updated my web site with what I came up with in my own research.
I have posted records that ID her brother Philip and her parents Matthew and Julia. I've also put up some records for Annie Schayer that I found after Megan identified her on Friday.
Now that Annie has been found, I can focus on important things. Like the latest celebrities to lie about their age or be confused about their ancestry. Easy pickin's compared to lost girls from the Lower East Side.

To be honest, we are losing track of the number of apps and services out there that allow you to communicate. Voxer officially hit the Store last week and Viber has been giving some Windows Phone love lately. Not to be forgotten, the beta version of Nokia Chat receives an update that should make a lot of you folks around the globe happy. It is now available worldwide.
Nokia Chat is a fun little app from the Nokia Beta Labs. The Beta Labs is where our friends in Finland test out apps they plan to make available to their users. We've been covering Nokia Chat since it first popped onto the radar back in the spring. The app is still version 1.1, which we covered last month. What's new in it?
- Now available worldwide. You can try out the app in all countries where the Nokia Chat service is supported
- Tap+Send (NFC) Between Lumia Phones
- Share a Place
- Performance and Visual Improvements
- Enhanced Login
It's a fun chat app and integrates nicely with Yahoo Messenger. If you have a Windows Phone 8 device running on some Lumia hardware you should check it out. Grab it here in the Store, use the QR code below or swipe to the right in our app.

Don't forget! 25 April 2011 is ANZAC day – a national day of remembrance for Australian and New Zealanders who died at war.
To commemorate this significant day for both our nations, Twigs of Yore and the Central Auckland Research Centre, Auckland Libraries are jointly hosting an ANZAC Day blogging event.
To participate:
- Write a blog post about an Australian or New Zealander serviceman or woman's family, and the impact war had on their family history.
- Publish your post by 25 April 2011.
- Post a comment with the URL on my original ANZAC Day blogging post, or under discussions on the Auckland Research Centre's Facebook page.
By the end of April, all submissions will be listed in a summary posting on this blog and Auckland Libraries' Kintalk blog.
I hope you will join us.
Actually, I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to participate myself! I have not yet discovered any Australians (or New Zealanders) in my family tree who died in military service. I may have to have a chat with my co-conspirator Seonaid (@genebrarian) about whether I can bend the rules a little…
Regardless, I look forward to reading your posts!

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Boyce Thompson AgWeb Email A high-ranking government agriculture official answered a wide range of sometimes volatile questions related to EPA's regulation of agriculture. Mike Adams, the host of AgriTalk, today treated the Farm Journal Forum 2013 audience to a live interview with Sarah Bittleman, senior agricultural counselor for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Jack Bobo, senior advisor for biotechnology for the U.S. State Department. The broadcast covered everything from climate change to environmental regulations. Listen to the full AgriTalk broadcast: Here's an abbreviated version of Adam's questions and Bittleman's responses. Q: How do we get past a confrontational relationship between agriculture and the EPA? A: "A lot of it has to do with constant, consistent communication," said Bittleman. "We share common goals—cleaner air, water and land. We need to find a common language." Q: The comment period for lowering the ethanol mandate opened today. Also, a public hearing is taking place in Arlington, Va. How open is the comment period? A: "It's an honest-to-goodness proposed rule," said Bittleman, adding that EPA put out an "honest-to-goodness solicitation of comments." EPA, she said, needs as much real-time information as possible. "It's not a numbers game of how many people show up [for hearings]," she said. "It's a matter of how do we take the data [that we receive] and put it together to make a final rule." Q: How quickly will EPA act to finalize the proposal at the end of the comment period? A: "We hope to finalize it as soon as we can" after the comment period closes, she said, noting that this is a yearlong process, and the EPA will have to make another proposal for the ethanol purchase levels in 2015. Q: How can businesses plan without certainty for the ethanol mandate in future years? A: "The overall commitment to biofuels by this administration remains steady and true," Bittleman said. "Folks need to be confident that that is the case." Q: Did the White House give you direction on the proposal? A: Bittleman effectively answered in the affirmative. "All our rules and regulations go through interagency review managed by the Office of Management and Budget," she said. Q: The industry is concerned that it may fall victim to sweeping regulations in the name of climate change. Will that happen? A: Without answering the question directly, Bittleman asked farmers and ranchers to share their stories about climate mitigation. "There's some extraordinary stuff going on in agriculture today that is innovative and so forward looking," she said. Q: Is the EPA intent on making a power grab through redefining what constitutes a navigable waterway? A: "No we're not," said Bittleman, noting that EPA was compelled to act by court decisions. "What we're trying to do is provide more clarity. We have no interest in a power grab or expanding our authority." Q: Will EPA adopt the same conservation policy to the Mississippi watershed that it used for the Chesapeake Bay? A: "Each waterway is unique," Bittleman said, citing differences in topography, wildlife and neighboring population. "It would be remarkably difficult to take an approach used in one region and apply it to another." Bittleman said she understands that agriculture feels like it's been "singled out" for polluting waterways. She invited farmers to teach the EPA about new conservation practices, noting that her phone number is published online. And she commended the industry for producing incredible yield increases in recent years with less land and fewer nutrients. Q: Will EPA be releasing private information about farmers in the future? A: "The EPA continues to feel badly about the previous activity that happened," Bittleman said. "We put in place a number of safeguards to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen again."

Windermere Donates $25,000 to California Wildfire Relief Fund
Like much of the nation, we've been heartbroken by the horrifying images and statistics rolling in as California suffers from the worst wildfires in the state's history. For our staff, agents, and franchise owners who live and work in the affected areas, it's a threat to their clients, their families, and their communities. Everything that Windermere is is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team, and #WeAreWindermere is a mantra we hold to in good times and in bad. It is for that reason that the Windermere Foundation is donating $25,000 to the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Relief Fund.

Helping Fight Hunger in Our Communities
Recent research from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) found that more than 13 million children in the U.S. experience food insecurity. That's one in six children who live in households where they do not have enough food to eat on a regular basis. And over 20 million children rely on free or reduced-price school lunches for their meals during the school year.

Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist organization, with an associated military wing.
Hamas (Arabic: حركة حماس; acronym: Arabic: حركة المقاومة الاسلامية, or Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya or "Islamic Resistance Movement"; the Arabic acronym means "zeal") is a Palestinian Islamist organization that currently (since January 2006) forms the majority party of the Palestinian National Authority. It started as an outgrowth of Muslim Brotherhood in the late 1980's and is currently active in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
- America will be annihilated, while Islam will remain. The Muslims "will be victorious, if you are believers."[...] Our Jihad-fighting Palestinian people salutes its brother, Sudan.[...] The Palestinian woman bids her son farewell, and says to him: "Son, go and don't be a coward. Go, and fight the Jews." He bids her farewell and carries out a martyrdom operation.[...] Oh Allah, vanquish the Jews and their supporters. Oh Allah, vanquish the Americans and their supporters. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them all, down to the very last one.
- Forget about all the propaganda and the media - democracies and all that nonsense. They talk about democracy, but when Hamas won, they said: We do not accept this. You asked for democracy - this is democracy.
- Iraqi Cleric Ahmad Al-Kubeisi: Democracy, Human Rights... It's All Nonsense, video clip, February 24, 2006.
- I will not accept an agreement saying that at the end of the day, Haifa, Jaffa, and Acre are Israeli cities, and part of the Israeli land.... What should be sought is a true solution, which will restore all the Palestinian rights, and will lead to an end to the existence of this entity in the region.
- The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the links in the chain of the struggle against the Zionist invaders.
- Charter of Hamas.
- Our ultimate plan is [to have] Palestine in its entirety. I say this loud and clear so that nobody will accuse me of employing political tactics.
- Hamas co-founder Mahmoud Al-Zahar, June 15, 2010.[1]
- "The Movement's programme is Islam. From it, it draws its ideas, ways of thinking and understanding of the universe, life and man. It resorts to it for judgement in all its conduct, and it is inspired by it for guidance of its steps."
- "By adopting Islam as its way of life, the Movement goes back to the time of the birth of the Islamic message, of the righteous ancestor, for Allah is its target, the Prophet is its example and the Koran is its constitution."
- "The Islamic Resistance Movement found itself at a time when Islam has disappeared from life. Thus rules shook, concepts were upset, values changed and evil people took control, oppression and darkness prevailed, cowards became like tigers: homelands were usurped, people were scattered and were caused to wander all over the world, the state of justice disappeared and the state of falsehood replaced it. Nothing remained in its right place. Thus, when Islam is absent from the arena, everything changes. From this state of affairs the incentives are drawn."
- Charter of Hamas
- "The Moslem woman has a role no less important than that of the moslem man in the battle of liberation."
- "Her role in guiding and educating the new generations is great."
- "Woman in the home of the fighting family, whether she is a mother or a sister, plays the most important role in looking after the family, rearing the children and embuing them with moral values and thoughts derived from Islam."
- "She has to teach them to perform the religious duties in preparation for the role of fighting awaiting them."
- Charter of Hamas
Muslim BrotherhoodEdit
- "The Islamic Resistance Movement is one of the wings of Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. Muslim Brotherhood Movement is a universal organization which constitutes the largest Islamic movement in modern times. It is characterised by its deep understanding, accurate comprehension and its complete embrace of all Islamic concepts of all aspects of life, culture, creed, politics, economics, education, society, justice and judgement, the spreading of Islam, education, art, information, science of the occult and conversion to Islam."
- Charter of Hamas
Quotes about HamasEdit
- Today, like it or not, HAMAS is a force that has as its goal the overthrow of the State of Israel. With terrorism. Do not you talk to who has not abandoned terrorism and still does not recognize Israel. I would say more … What to talk should melt. The terrorist is a terrorist. (Antonio Di Pietro)
- There are no innocent people in the Gaza Strip. Everyone has a connection to Hamas. Everyone receives a salary from Hamas. Those who are trying to challenge us at the border and breach it belong to Hamas's military wing.
- Avigdor Lieberman, as quoted in 'There are no innocents in Gaza,' says Israeli defense minister (April 8, 2018), The Jerusalem Post
- Hamas isn't hiding the ball. It is evil. It celebrates evil. It pays terrorists to commit acts of evil. But the international community isn't hiding the ball either when its members refuse to condemn terrorism as terrorism when it is directed against disfavored members of the international community.
- The 'International Community' Isn't A Community. It's A Rogue's Gallery., Ben Shapiro, December 12, 2018, Dailywire

In the afterglow of Sunday's NFC Championship Game win over the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree dismissed the idea he was distracted by his off-the-field issues this week.
"No distractions, baby, it's football," Crabtree told NFL.com's Jeff Darlington on the field immediately after the game. "This is what I do for a living. I play ball."
Crabtree echoed those comments in the locker room, telling Newsday's Tom Rock: "Stuff is going to happen, you know? It's just how you react and how you bounce back."
Crabtree was interviewed by San Francisco police for two hours as part of a sexual assault investigation. A league source "highly, highly doubted" Crabtree will face charges, according to ESPN.com. A second woman came forward to back Crabtree's version of events on the night in question, ESPN.com reported, leading the 49ers to believe the investigation will not go any further.

Crabtree flew with the team to Atlanta and started in the 28-24 win that advanced San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII. Crabtree had six receptions for 57 yards in the game, losing a fumble near the Falcons' goal line in the third quarter.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a condition that may require surgery, you owe it to yourself to learn about all of your medical options, including the most effective, least invasive surgical treatments available.
Baptist was the first hospital in Mississippi to acquire the daVinci® Surgical System. And, the first to acquire the state's second robot, The daVinci-S Surgical System. It is the most advanced robotic surgical system available. The daVinci-S provides surgeons with enhanced features including an interactive video display, lower profile arms and greater mobility.
The daVinci® Surgical System provides surgeons with an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy, putting a surgeon's hands at the controls of a state-of-the-art robotic platform. The da Vinci System enables surgeons to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions with unmatched precision.
Learn about the daVinci Hysterectomy
Learn about the daVinci Prostatectomy
Surgeons at Baptist can use the da Vinci™ Surgical System, robotic technology that enhances the surgeon's ability to perform a number of minimally invasive procedures. Minimally invasive refers to procedures performed through small ports rather than large incisions.
The da Vinci Surgical System makes this possible through four components: a surgeon console, patient-side cart, instruments and image processing equipment.
While using the da Vinci Surgical System, the surgeon operates while seated comfortably at a console viewing a 3-D image of the surgical field. The surgeon's fingers grasp master controls below the display while the da Vinci technology seamlessly translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements performed by the robotic surgical instruments inside the patient.
This cart provides the three or four robotic arms -- two or three instrument arms and one endoscope arm -- that execute the surgeon's commands. Supporting surgical team members assist in installing the proper instruments and in preparing the 1-cm port in the patient.
The system provides a full range of instruments to support the surgeon while operating. The instruments are designed with seven degrees of motion that mimic the dexterity of the human hand and wrist. Each instrument has a specific surgical mission such as clamping, suturing and tissue manipulation. Quick-release levers speed instrument changes during surgical procedures.
This imaging equipment provides the true to life 3-D images of the operative field during surgery. Operating images are enhanced, refined and optimized using image synchronizers, high-intensity illuminators and camera control units.
The da Vinci Surgical System is the only commercially available technology that can provide the surgeon with the intuitive control, range of motion, fine tissue manipulation capability and 3-D visualization characteristic of open surgery, while simultaneously allowing the surgeon to work through small ports of minimally invasive surgery.
To learn more about the da Vinci system, see the website of Intuitive Surgical, the system's manufacturer.

In eight countries around the world, 20 young Americans will soon be assuming new work spaces in cabinet-level ministries. They'll barely have time to thumb tack photos of their loved ones on the walls before getting down to work with their new colleagues.
What is that work? The real and everyday challenges those governments face in Bangladesh, Cote d'Ivoire, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Jamaica, Thailand, and Tunisia. And what brings these committed young men and women to these posts? They are the first members of a fellowship program -- sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs -- that seeks to build mutual understanding and strengthen the development of public sector institutions overseas. These inaugural Fulbright Public Policy Fellows will serve as special assistants in ministries of education, energy, agriculture, commerce, health, youth, and others.
These program participants are doing more than helping public servants in other countries. They are building bi-national relationships, and extending American values and ideals. They are helping to ensure that a new generation will be dedicated to public service and global cooperation.
As they gathered at the State Department on Tuesday, August 14, for their pre-departure briefings, I had the opportunity to join Secretary Clinton and Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources Linda Thomas-Greenfield to offer our congratulations and wish them success.
As I told them, public service is something that Secretary Clinton has treasured all her life -- ever since she came to Washington to serve as an intern on Capitol Hill. She believes -- as I do -- that serving citizens in the trenches of public service is one of the most honorable and effective things that a young person can do for society, for democracy, and -- most importantly -- for people.
The Fulbright Program is one of the best and most effective ways to advance our people to people ties. By creating opportunity for educational advancement, we are working to help build better futures, establish lifelong connections around the world, and in the larger sense, to build trust and mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries. They will not only have the chance to appreciate the hard work and dedication it takes to truly serve citizens. They'll be part of a public policy lesson writ large. That makes them citizen ambassadors. And for that they have our undying gratitude.

CBC Radio's The Sunday Edition to Tell the Tragic Story of Gerald Le Dain
Gerald Le Dain was a luminary figure in Canada's progressive political history. A respected lawyer and former Supreme Court Justice, he authored the Le Dain Commission, a groundbreaking study that recommended cannabis decriminalization in 1973. Unfortunately for Le Dain, the prohibitionists came after him. Hard. Through a series of dirty tactics, vicious personal attacks andRead More

At Makeshift Encampment, AIDS Groups Release Pioneering Housing Report
July 22, 2010
Sponsored by the Ford Foundation, compiled by the National AIDS Housing Coalition (NAHC) and supported by 47 organizations that make up the International AIDS Housing Roundtable, More than a Just a Roof Over My Head details the unstable housing situations -- such as slum-dwelling and homelessness -- in 17 cities and countries, explaining the way precarious living spaces contribute to the spread of HIV.
"Overcrowding, lack of services, lack of access to water, lack of basic sanitation," said Lauren Nussbaum, NAHC program associate and part of the team that wrote the report. "The conditions of slums exacerbate HIV risks. It doesn't matter where you are, this is a global issue."
Approximately 3.5 billion people, or 50 percent of the world's population, live in urban areas, according to the report, and that number is rising. About one quarter of those people live in slums, areas that have some of the highest concentrations of HIV-infected individuals in the world.
"This Is Me"
In Vienna, conference delegates from Housing Works constructed a shantytown in the conference complex's gleaming hallway, a move designed to visually connect conference-goers -- journalists, scientists, social workers, doctors and AIDS advocates from nearly 200 nations -- to the report's findings.
"This is me," said Wayne Starks, pointing to the village dwellers behind him. The 50-year-old Brooklyn-based artist spent five years living on the street after sickness related to HIV medication caused him to lose his job with New York City Transit. "Looking at all this took me right back."
Housing Works staff and other activists donned stained t-shirts, rattled coins and gathered around a house made of flimsy wooden poles. Attendees stopped to view the spectacle, and then paused to listen to findings from the report.
The report was compiled using written testimony from staffers at dozens of AIDS services organizations. Among the regions profiled are La Paz, Bolivia; Santiago de Cali, Colombia; India; Nigeria; Kampala, Uganda; Sydney, Australia; and the United States.
Stable Housing Is Prevention
While many of the sessions at the week-long conference have focused on scientific discoveries that may help curb the spread of HIV, the report's finding suggest that attending to worldwide deficiencies in housing infrastructure could provide a much simpler way to prevent the spread of the virus.
Uninfected people with stable housing are more likely to have access to safe sex education and methods of protection. They're also less likely to trade sex for basic needs. At the same time, HIV-positive people with stable living situations are more likely to be able to attend to needs associated with care -- such as keeping medication refrigerated -- and less likely to be exposed to diseases that could wreak havoc on their immunodeficiency systems. Keeping HIV-positive people healthy then greatly reduces the risk that they could spread the virus.
"Housing isn't a luxury, but rather a prevention method," said Charles King, president and CEO at Housing Works. "If we want to end the AIDS epidemic we must get everyone stable housing."
