Princess Ben
Being A Wholly Truthful Account of Her Various Discoveries and Misadventures, Recounted to the Best of Her Recollection, in Four PartseBook - 2008
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Ben is a young lady who lives a very sheltered life, until her mother and uncle (the king) are found murdered, and her father is missing. Ben is then forced into the care of her aunt, the regent Queen. To say the two don't get along is an understatement, and the continuously but heads until Ben discovers she is able to unlock magic in the castle. Once this discovery is made Ben spends her waking time learning, and exploring the magic, becoming passive and taking the path of least resistance with her aunt. This goes on until the queen is forced to either go to war, or find a husband for Ben who can help defend their kingdom from stronger neighboring kingdoms.
I enjoyed the story, the setting, and how the characters were developed. However there were times I was aggravated with Ben, who despite being 15 at the start of the book behaves like a spoiled 5 year old. I also found it hard to believe that the heir to the throne would be allowed to live completely aside from court, with her education neglected other than learning to read, write and basic math. Her parents know she will one day be Queen, but do nothing to prepare her.
Ben's attitude does change as the book progresses, which enabled me to keep it at a 5 star rating. I truly did not want to put it down at times, as this was not a traditional tale, and I didn't know where the author would go next.
Upon retrospect, I realize how grand these books are. More grand in retrospect than first experience, actually, but the writing is charming and the characters larger-than-life. The denouément was dreadful, though. . . Though slightly redeemed by the successor Wisdom's Kiss.
This is almost a prequal to her book (Wisdom's kiss in which they relate to a few past experiences) but you can totally read it by themselves. Great Story! Catherine knows how to make for a great ending.
An enjoyable read. Although the romance seemed to change from hate to love pretty fast.
I LOVED this book! but I wish the cover art was different, the girl on the cover is beautiful and THIN when she's supposed to be plain and fat
The over-the-top take-me-seriously writing style was unpleasant, but the story itself was cleverly told and an interesting take on fairy tale themes. I wish they'd chosen different jacket art-Ben looks nothing like a girl with an eating disorder.
sooo good!! i recommend it to anyone who likes romance young adult books. the characters are memorable, and the story is hilarious and lighthearted.
The flowery language took getting use to at first, but later became often hilarious and witty. Ben's discovery of magic was fun.

What Is a Dinosaur? main content.
by AMNH on
This post, the second in a series, explores the 30-video Dinosaurs Explained series on amnh.tv.
Visit the David H. Koch Dinosaur Wing on the Museum's fourth floor, and you'll find a bevy of fossil dinosaurs, in two separate halls.
One is the Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs (Or-nuh-THISH-ee-an) dinosaurs, where you will find Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and more.
The other is the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs (Sawr-ISH-ee-an), where you can witness Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as Apatosaurus, and beyond.
What is the difference between these two groups of ancient reptiles? Find out more from Mark A. Norell, chair of the Division of Paleontology.

The former owners of the Shirakawa Distillery in Fukushima have left their Japanese single malt making days far behind.
Takara Shuzou, an old sake and shochu making business tracing its roots back to the mid 19th century, is now more famous for cutting up and manipulating DNA than whisky distilling. Takara workers might have been forgiven for thinking the bosses had been drinking from the barrels when they announced a biotech research centre in 1967, but the investment paid off in the late 70s when they produced enzymes that identified and separated DNA sequences. Takara are now big players in that world.
The Takara holding company still has an alcohol arm. In the 50s and 60s, its "King" blended whisky and "Takara" beer brands were quite prominent. The beer is long gone and, though you can still buy the blended whisky, Takara now makes most of its sales through traditional Japanese alcohols, chu-hai cocktail drinks and mirin cooking sake. Its quality whisky making is now entirely offshore - it owns the Tomatin distillery in Scotland - and a brief flirtation with the Japanese single malt scene seems to have finished quite a long time before the Shirakawa distillery was officially closed in 2003. Shirakawa, which had been bought by Takara from another brewer immediately after the Second World War, was being used solely as a bottling plant in its later years.
According to Takeshi Mogi`s Japanese whisky site, stocks of Shirakawa single malts are quite limited. I have found this store on the internet, selling Shirakawa single malt by the 100ml in plastic bottles, and one Nonjatta reader bought Shirakawa for less than 500 yen per 100ml in 2004. Wish I could get it for that price.
"Shirakawa" mark in Japanese characters
I have never seen the Shirakawa brand on a whisky bottle. This is what it looked like scrawled on the side of my placky bottle of Shirakawa:
And in computer text, in case you want to search for these whiskies on the Japanese internet: 白河 (Shirakawa), ウィスキー (whisky). (Can`t see it?)
Single malts from Shirakawa
See the side bar.
LocationView location on map of Japan's single malt distilleries. (If you download Google Earth and click on the "KML" button above this map you can see the topography in 3D!)
The distillery is no longer operating. Takara has a new plant in this area but it has nothing to do with whisky distilling.
AddressNo longer exists.
I believe it was at: 961-0074, Kakunai 151, Shirakawashi , Fukushima
Former address in Japanese: 白河市郭内151〒961-0074

In the early 2000s, the forum received the support of The World Federation, giving their blessings to the publication as well as helping in its broadcast.
Again, with passage of time, changes are imminent as we now move to a more interactive state - a blog. To this end, I seek the support of all members who can contribute their valuable time and written material to the forum, which is being read all across the world.
Thank you

The New York Giants would like Michael Strahan to take a little time out from talking to Kelly Ripa and spend some time talking to Jason Pierre-Paul.
Giants General Manager Jerry Reese said on WFAN that he wants Strahan, who set the NFL's single-season sack record before he became a TV personality, to work with Pierre-Paul, who burst onto the scene with 16.5 sacks in 2011 but had a disappointing 6.5 sacks in 2012.
"I'm going to reach out to Michael Strahan this offseason to see if we can have some conversations with JPP and just tell him, 'Look, it's inside your chest, a lot of it,'" Reese said, via the New York Daily News. "'You've got to have the heart to do it.' I think he does, but I think if he heard it from somebody like Michael Strahan, that would really encourage him."
Pierre-Paul acknowledged during the season that he was growing frustrated by constantly having to fight through double teams, but Reese said that if Pierre-Paul wants to be great, he can't use double teams as an excuse.
"After Michael became a superstar defensive end, he was getting double-teamed, he was getting chipped, but he was still getting sacks," Reese said. "So the great ones still get through there and make plays. And he's got to do that. He can't give up, like 'Wow, they're double-teaming me, they're triple-teaming me, they're high-lowing me, they're doing everything to me.' That's frustrating to a young player. But to be a superstar defensive end, a pass rusher in this league, you have to beat those double-team blocks."
Strahan has a weekday job on Live with Kelly & Michael, and a weekend job on FOX NFL Sunday, but if he can squeeze in a few hours to be a part-time defensive line coach, the Giants would appreciate it.

As it turns out, Marcell Dareus wasn't the only member of the Buffalo Bills involved in Friday's racing incident.
Fellow defensive lineman Jerry Hughes confirmed to reporters after Wednesday's OTA session that he was behind the wheel of the black Camaro that police cited as traveling at a high rate of speed with a white Jaguar driven by Dareus.
"Was I there? Yes," Hughes said, per Joe Buscaglia of WGR-AM. "I was driving my car. I was on the street while (Dareus) was on the street driving his vehicle as well.
"Like I said, they won't let me speak on the facts. So, it's a legal matter that the Hamburg Police is working on right now. They won't let me say too much about it. The facts are the facts though, I will say that."
Dareus was arrested Friday and charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, participating in an illegal speed contest, as well as traffic violations, according to a Hamburg, N.Y. Police Department press release obtained by NFL Media. The high-speed duel ended when Dareus peeled off the road into a parking lot before striking a tree in front of a Mongolian Buffet restaurant.
Hughes, who avoided arrest, told The Buffalo News on Tuesday that Dareus would bounce back from his latest off-field incident.
"I can't really elaborate on Marcell's behalf, but I just know that when he gets back, he's going to be ready to play football and he's going to hit the field full speed and he's going to wreak havoc," Hughes said. "That's all that I can really speak on. Knowing him for going on a second year and knowing him as a player, I know he's going to come back full speed."
Bills coach Doug Marrone told reporters Tuesday that Dareus would sit out the remainder of OTAs before returning for mandatory minicamp.

With end users ranging from teenagers with iPhones to corporate data centers demanding higher bandwidths, there is an increasing demand for newer technologies to deliver this bandwidth. Use of fiber optic cables is the best option for delivering this bandwidth as these cables are considered to be the ultimate bandwidth delivery medium; however, the method is quite costlier. Millimeter wave wireless technology has potential to offer similar bandwidth compared to that of fiber optics without posing financial challenges.
To Read The Complete Report with TOC: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis/143860
Development of millimeter wave technology was necessitated by the lack of available frequencies in lower microwave frequency ranges that have become congested due to increasing demand from public and private sectors. Major advantage offered by millimeter waves in communication is its greater capacity to carry information signals and narrower beam that allows use of much smaller antennas.
Millimeter wave equipments based on E-band spectrum have characteristics like higher frequencies and single channel configurations that enable it to address various key markets. These characteristics allow high degree of frequency re-use and enables operators to configure links in close proximity without interference concerns making it more effective for short haul, high capacity links in dense metro areas, and fiber extension.

Turkey hunt day for youth, hunters with disabilities set for April 6, with state wildlife areas open to hunting
DOVER (April 3, 2013) – Prior to Delaware's 2013 spring turkey season, youth ages 10 through 15 and non-ambulatory hunters with disabilities will have a special one-day hunting opportunity on Saturday, April 6. This year, and for the first time, these hunters can go for turkeys on state wildlife areas that are open for hunting during Delaware's regular turkey season. Traditionally, this special one-day hunt was restricted to private property.
All participants must have completed a Delaware-approved turkey hunting safety course. In addition, hunters ages 13 through 15 must have a valid Delaware junior hunting license and must have completed a hunter education course. Young hunters must be accompanied by an adult age 21 or older who is licensed to hunt in Delaware, and who has taken a Delaware-approved turkey hunter safety class. Adult companions may not possess a firearm during the hunt.
All state wildlife areas normally open for hunting during the regular turkey season are open for the youth/hunters with disabilities turkey hunt. However, all state forest lands that are open during the regular turkey season will be closed for the special hunt – these include Redden State Forest, Blackbird State Forest and Taber State Forest.
No special turkey hunting permits are required for hunting on state wildlife areas on this day. Areas are open on a first-come, first-serve basis with no registration required.
As with the regular turkey hunting season, hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise until 1 p.m. Bag limit is one bearded bird per year; birds without beards may not be taken. All birds taken must be checked by 2:30 p.m. on the day of the hunt at an authorized turkey check station. For a list of check stations, click Turkey Check Stations.
Delaware's regular spring turkey hunting season opens on Saturday, April 13 and runs through Saturday, May 11.

Between 1993 and 2006, educated women exited the labor force mid-careers as the pay gap widened between themselves and their similarly-educated spouses.
As a result, there were 1.64 million fewer women in the workforce, according to a not-yet-released study conducted by the Federal Reserve (via Reuters).
They become the stay-at-home "trophy" wives, sort of a status symbol for their successful, professional husbands.
But in the last few years, more women have entered the workforce than ever before and changing the workplace culture. And as women become a prominent force and advance into leadership roles as CEOs and high government positions, how will this affect life outside the office?
In an article published in Marie Claire, Hilary Stout writes:
In the recent recession, three men lost their jobs for every one woman that did, and as a result, this year, for the first time ever, women make up the majority of the workforce. Four in 10 mothers are now their households' primary breadwinners, and an estimated 143,000 unemployed fathers of children under 15 are caring for the kids full time while their wives work.
If women someday outnumber men in the workforce, there's a chance the stay at home wife status symbol common today could eventually roll over to stay-at-home dads.
"I don't know if it'll become a status symbol, but I think the reality is, you can't force it and we need to be happy doing what we do," Latha Ramchand, Dean at the University of Houston's Bauer College of Business, told us.
"I think about my husband and the times he's tagged along with me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am, there's no doubt in my mind. But it takes a strong man to be that way."

Abstract / Summary
After you obtain the service package it should be uncompressed, usually this is done inside the root directory of your web server, since it is packed in data file such as zip.
Inside the package there are two files: "wshtml.php" and "wshtml.ini". The "wshtml.php" file is a php script designed mainly to run the service. It should not be altered nor amended at all. "wshtml.ini" configuration file holds simple, yet important configuration settings.
It is important that all files from download package are placed in one directory, so that they can be easily accessed, and all files should be set with proper access permissions and attributes depending on your web server.
- php.ini: allow_url_fopen = On
Unpack downloaded files and place them in desired directory. Then include "wshtml.php" file in your desired php page where service is to appear. Adjust wshtml.ini configurations properly and follow instructions and explanations as described in configuration settings section.
When configuring "wshtml.ini", make sure that correct data is provided that corresponds to the provided configuration settings. Follow the instructions strictly and do not override or remove any of the content unless instructed by this documentation. For the convenience, the "wshtml.ini" file is simple and it is easy to use and minimal tech skills are assumed.
As described above the service is easy to install and use when properly configured. The outstanding performance achievement is very likely, however, there are several things to consider. First, the updates are important, so when client service package is updated just follow the procedure as instructed and replace the old files with new ones. Second, client side logic is not to be edited or amended at all, except when instructed. Service on server side is automatically updated and it is transparent to client side. Service on client side, however, may require some seldom updates.
The updates on client side may be due to the changes in core logic of the wshtml.php file as mentioned before. Those changes should be very rare. The wshtml.ini may require some changes when some new directive are added. The support team will notify clients accordingly and instruct the clients how to make changes due to update.
HTML service uses global PHP variable
$GLOBALS['AdriaticWSHTMLConfig'] for its configuration.
It can be used only before the client script is included (
Any settings from "wshtml.ini" can be overridden using this global variable.
For example,
$GLOBALS['AdriaticWSHTMLConfig']['start_page'] = 'en-apartments'; changes the default
start page.
The code below shows how to implement an Adriatic HTML Web Service into one of your php pages. Note that the page that holds this code must retain the DTD heading parameters to reflect a xhtml structure.
We recommend using structure of code as shown below to avoid possible mishaps in service configuration.
<?php include_once 'wshtml.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Page title</title>
<?php $GLOBALS['AdriaticWSHTMLObject']->dispatch(); ?>
<!-- here include any custom or modified themes(CSS) -->
<?php $GLOBALS['AdriaticWSHTMLObject']->dispatch(); ?>
When using templates there can be differences in the layout of some elements of HTML service due to disparities between CSS styles.
We recommend using light or blank templates which won't affect the content layout significantly.

Could the next pope be from Africa or Latin America?
(CNN) — Hours after Pope Benedict XVI's resignation announcement Monday, speculation was surging over who might be his successor — and what part of the world the new pontiff could be from.
The 118 cardinals who will pick the next pope are also in the running for the job. Those cardinals are from around the globe, but more than half of them hail from European nations, according to Vatican statistics.
Worldwide, the demographic trends among the Roman Catholic Church's nearly 1.2 billion members show a different breakdown, with the church seeing only a trickle of new members in Europe while membership numbers have grown significantly in Africa, according to Vatican statistics.
So this time around, could the pope be from Africa, where growth has surged significantly, or from Latin America, a longtime bastion for the church?
"It's always one of those exciting things. I bet there will be a line in Vegas, there probably already is," said Randall Woodard, an associate professor of theology at Saint Leo University. "Especially based on the growth of Catholicism and … the geographic shifts that have taken place, a lot of smart money would be on Africa or Central America."
Some stressed that the pope's geographic background shouldn't be a factor.
"All of the questions about nationalities are nonsense," said Michael Sean Winters, a visiting fellow at the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies. "There are 118 men and all of them have gotten to know one another. … Their questions are going to be 'who can we see in that chair?'"
One top contender for the papacy could be Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana. The 64-year-old cardinal currently heads the pope's council for justice and peace and has experience working with people of different faiths, said Woodard, the managing editor of the International Journal of African Catholicism.
"He would be able to respond to global needs and … the reality of what the face of Catholicism is," Woodard said.
While people outside the church may focus on nationalities and race, within the church's top ranks cardinals have "a very global vision," he said.
"The pope has to be the visible shepherd of 1 billion Catholics in the world," said Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois. "I don't think going into the conclave the pope has to be of a certain nationality."
Other factors are important, Paprocki said, like the age of the next pope.
"It's a grueling and demanding schedule to keep up with," he said.
Pope Benedict, who is 85 years old, said Monday that he will resign at the end of the month "because of advanced age."
"Strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me," the pope said, according to the Vatican.
Age is also a factor for cardinals. Once a cardinal reaches 80, he is no longer able to participate in the election of the pope or enter the secret conclave where cardinals gather to select the next pope.
Of the 118 cardinals of voting age, 28 are from Italy, 34 are from elsewhere in Europe, 19 are from Latin America, 14 are from the United States and Canada, 11 are from Asia, 11 are from Africa and 1 is from Australia.
Cardinals will meet to choose Benedict's successor sometime after his official resignation on February 28, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a Vatican spokesman, said at a news conference.
"Before Easter, we will have the new pope," he said.
Benedict won't be involved in the decision, Lombardi said. But his influence will undoubtedly be felt. Benedict appointed 67 the 118 cardinals who will make the decision.
It's a choice that Cardinal Donald Wuerl said he doesn't take lightly.
"When we go into the conclave, what has to be upper in the minds of all of us is what is God asking of us in making a choice. Who will fill the chair of Peter? And I think that's going to be the only consideration," said Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington. "Who among this body has the qualifications, the characteristics, the spiritual gifts to fill that chair?"
Wuerl told reporters that he was in his study at 5 a.m. Monday preparing a homily for Ash Wednesday when he found out about the pope's decision.
"This is very startling," he said. "I was totally unprepared for it."

Virginia Rocket to Create an Artificial Cloud on Saturday main content.
by Joe Rao on
Sky watchers in the Tri-State Area may get a look at an odd artificial cloud on Saturday night (Sep. 19) after it's released from the fourth stage of a rocket set for launch from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Virginia's Atlantic Shore.
The cloud of aluminum particles from the rocket's exhaust is expected to provide scientists with insights into the physics of "noctilucent clouds," the highest natural clouds (around 50 miles up) that form in the Earth's atmosphere.
The experiment, called "Charged Aerosol Release Experiment" (CARE), is being conducted by the Naval Research Laboratory and the Pentagon's Space Test Program. Also involved are NASA, the University of Michigan, the Air Force Research Laboratory, Clemson, Stanford and Penn State universities, the University of Colorado and MIT.
The launch window for the experiment opens at 7:32 p.m. Saturday, and closes at 7:49 p.m. Weather forecasters gave the launch a 90 percent chance of favorable weather. However, clear skies are also needed up and down the coast to provide multiple camera locations with a view of the cloud.
Sunday, September 20, is the backup date for the launch. After that, the next opportunity would come next month.
The experiment is being carried by a 65-foot Black Brant 12 rocket, a sub-orbital vehicle used frequently by scientists at Wallops. The rocket is programmed to climb 180 miles above the Earth—much higher than the altitude of natural noctilucent clouds—and 98 miles down range (east) from Virginia's Atlantic Shore.
Observers should watch for the cloud to be released about six minutes after launch. If skies are clear, the sinuous white cloud should become visible low in the southern sky after its release.
You can follow the launch via Webcast, on Twitter, or by phone at 757-824-2050.
And as always, those who see it are invited to come back here and leave comments describing the event for those who miss it.

Iran elects centrist to replace contentious Ahmadinejad
Centrist Hasan Rowhani won an absolute majority in Iran's presidential elections, a surprise outcome that could help raise spirits in a population fed up by the economic distress and international isolation that marked the era of outgoing leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The ministry of the interior said Rowhani, a Shiite Muslim cleric, won some 18.6 million votes, nearly 51 per cent of the vote in a six-man field, three times the tally for runner-up Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, the mayor of Tehran, who received only 6.1 million. In third place was nuclear arms negotiator Saeed Jalili, who got just 4.1 million votes.
The U.S. government lauded the Iranian people for making a choice amidst heavy government censorship and offered the prospect of direct U.S.-Iran talks on the future of Iran's nuclear program.
"We respect the vote of the Iranian people and congratulate them for their participation in the political process and their courage in making their voices heard," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement Saturday.
"It is our hope that the Iranian government will heed the will of the Iranian people and make responsible choices that create a better future for all Iranians. The United States remains ready to engage the Iranian government directly in order to reach a diplomatic solution that will fully address the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program."
Voter turnout, 36.7 million, was just under three quarters of the 50.5 million eligible voters, a high figure in view of some public calls for a boycott.
An enormous crowd of chanting and cheering supporters flooded Haft-e-Tir Square in the center of Tehran and Kharim Khan street, where Rowhani's headquarters were located. Many of them wore purple t-shirts or scarves, the color of his campaign.
Rowhani, a moderate conservative, apparently intends to take on a different color, adopting the green mantle of the reform movement that failed to win the presidency four years ago in an election that many said was marred by massive fraud. On Friday night, he tweeted to followers: "Let's do something to celebrate success tomorrow; the day that our purple vote gives way to the green."
While Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Shiite supreme leader, sets all major policy and can block almost any action by the president, Rowhani could have an impact across society and in Iran's relations with the rest of the world. He has pledged to reverse the damage done during Ahmadinejad's eight years in office.
Rowhani's pledges during the campaign to improve the country's human rights practices won him wide support among young Iranians, who packed his rallies and cheered him like a rock star.
In Mashad, Iran's second biggest city, the 64-year-old Rowhani Wednesday night pledged before nearly 50,000 people to restore safety and academic freedom to universities, in contrast with Ahmadinejad, who often sent in the police.
"We are talking about running a country, not a police station," he declared to shouts and chants.
"I promise all of you that the era of extremism will end," he said.
In a televised debate on social and cultural policy a week before the vote, he called for equal rights for women, freedom of the press, an abandonment of the ban on satellite television receivers, and for the government to remove itself from the arts in general. "If we want to eliminate corruption from the society, we should give freedom to the press," he said, opening the prospect of a dramatic shift from the present situation in which the media act as the regime's mouthpiece.
Like all eight of the contenders for Iran's highest elected office – two dropped out in the final week –Rowhani was chosen for the contest by the Guardian Council, which reports to the supreme leader. He is an establishment insider, sitting on two top governing bodies that also report to Khamenei, the Expediency Council and the Council of Experts.
Unlike other candidates, Rowhani brings his own think tank to the job, having headed the Center for Strategic Research, which analyzes economic and social issues as well as foreign policy, for 22 years. The center is linked to the powerful Expediency Council, a body appointed by Khamenei which supervises all branches of government.
But Rowhani also is a former negotiator on the most contentious issue between Iran and the international community, the country's nuclear enrichment program, which the U.S., Israel and other countries fear may lead to production of a nuclear weapon.
He made a point in many presentations of saying that while he served as negotiator under the last reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, the major powers did not refer the issue to the U.N. Security Council, as has happened repeatedly during Ahmadinejad's tenure.
Ahmadinejad also provoked criticism and tensions by suggesting Israel did not have the right to exist and by calling a conference of so-called experts who deny there was a Holocaust during World War II, bringing more opprobrium on Iran from the U.N. Security Council. It's possible that all this could change.
Although not a reformist as such, he is close to the reformist group and was their candidate. Possibly the biggest boost to his candidacy came last Tuesday, when reformist Mohammad Reza Aref dropped out of the race in favor of Rowhani, at Khatami's request. Among the three conservative candidates, by comparison, Jalili, former foreign minister Ali Akbar Velayati and Qalibaf, none dropped out, and they all divided the vote among them.
Besides winning Khatami's backing, Rowhani won the endorsement of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a centrist who preceded Khatami, who is possibly the most popular politician in Iran. Rafsanjani, at 78, sought while president to carry out less ideological foreign policy, with the aim of integrating Iran into the world economy, and he's called for reducing tensions with the United States and Israel.
Rohani studied at a Shiite seminary and has a bachelor's degree in law as well as master's degree and a Ph.D. from British universities. He served five terms in the parliament, rising to deputy speaker and head of the defense and foreign policy committees. According to his official biography, carried by the Iranian media, he speaks fluent English, Arabic and Persian and has written nearly 100 books and articles as well as conducting 700 different research projects.
A question was raised during the campaign about his academic credentials, for his website had stated that he'd received his Ph.D. degree from Glasgow University. A Persian specialist at Radio Free Europe's Persian service checked with the university to makes sure he'd graduated there, and the university had no record. Subsequently, Rowhani's institute changed the listing on the web site to the Glasgow Caledonian University, a less prestigious institution in Glasgow.

Santa's visit has now been reduced to piles of pillage, bags of crumpled wrapping paper, refrigerators full of left-overs and the after-affects of sticker shock.
Bad economy or not, most of us have no regrets at the money out of pocket.
That is unless we've recently encountered one of Florida's finest, ticket pad in hand.
The cost of traffic fines went up at year's end — way up — and requirements for mandatory traffic school have been added to some offenses.
Some of the costs, as of Dec. 1?
Get caught speeding 6-9 mph over the speed limit and expect to pay $124. Lead foot it 15-19 mph or 20-29 mph and you'll have to cough up $249 or $274 respectively with fines much higher in school and construction zones.
Running a red light is up to $224, failure to pay a toll is $199 — plus toll — and parking in a handicapped spot is $179-$250.
The fines for motorcycle offenses are even higher, ranging from $1,159 to $2,659 for an improper tag or popping a wheelie.
The most costly traffic transgression remains driving while intoxicated, however, especially when you weigh in the peripheral costs. The fine alone is $500 to $1,000 with a mandatory 50 hours of community service and up to a year of probation and its related costs.
Add in the price of retrieving your car from impound, attorney fees and lost wages and officials say those monetary expenses can quickly climb to $8,000 for a first offense.
That amount of money can buy a lot of groceries.
Expect to see police patrols out in force this weekend and next.
Expect that they will be on the lookout for speeders, red light scofflaws, and impaired drivers.
Expect that they won't be too happy about working the holiday — and expect that they take their duties related to prevention seriously.
We hope you had a good holiday, and we wish you a happy and safe New Year.
May 2010 be all you wish it to be.

HealthDay Reporter
SATURDAY, May 31 (HealthDay News) — Adding the drug Avastin to chemotherapy lengthened progression-free survival in women with advanced breast cancer, new research shows.
Latest Cancer News
Previous studies have found that adding Avastin (bevacizumab) to the chemotherapy drug Taxol (paclitaxel) in women with advanced breast cancer actually doubled progression-free survival.
Avastin is already approved for use in metastatic colon cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and, recently, in newly diagnosed metastatic breast cancer (in combination with paclitaxel).
"Avastin is an anti-angiogenesis drug [one that inhibits blood supply to the tumor] that appears to have activity across a variety of cancers," Dr. Nancy Davidson, director of the breast cancer program at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center in Baltimore and president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), said during a teleconference earlier this month.
"Angiogenesis is clearly a very important process in the tumorogenesis of many malignances, and one of the first agents we've had available to us in the clinic is Avastin, which has demonstrated some efficacy in several genotypes," said study author Dr. David Miles, a medical oncologist at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Middlesex, U.K.
Miles, who is presenting the findings this weekend at the American Society for Clinical Oncology annual meeting in Chicago, spoke at a Saturday news conference.
The current study looked at Avastin added to the chemotherapy agent Taxotere (docetaxel). Taxotere is more commonly used outside the United States, while Taxol is more commonly used in the United States.
This phase III trial involved 736 patients randomized into one of three groups: Taxotere alone, Taxotere plus a high dose (15 mg/kg) of Avastin, or Taxotere plus a low dose of Avastin (7.5 mg/kg). The lower dose of Avastin is the current standard dose for breast cancer treatment, while the higher dose is the standard dose for colon cancer.
After a median follow-up of almost one year, women taking the lower dose of Avastin were 21 percent less likely and those taking the higher dose 28 percent less likely to have a recurrence compared to those receiving chemo alone. More than half (55.2 percent) in the low-dose group and two-thirds (63.3 percent) in the high-dose group saw their tumors shrink, compared to 44.4 percent in the placebo group.
Patients receiving Avastin did have more severe side effects (74 percent to 75 percent versus 67 percent in the chemotherapy-alone group).
Final data on overall survival is not yet available. According to Dr. Eric Weiner, director of the breast oncology center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and moderator of the Saturday news conference, "it is unlikely there will be a survival benefit."
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration tends to approve second and third-line drugs based on progression-free survival and drugs for the first-line setting on survival, Weiner said, adding that he "personally does not understand that approach."
Progression-free survival can be seen as a quality-of-life improvement. "Having the disease under control for longer, as long as the toxicity of treatment is not substantial, is something that is well worth it," Weiner said. "So a drug that can substantially improve profession-free survival is a drug that can at least, in some patients, make their lives that much better while they are dealing with this illness."

Avocado Soup Recipes

Spinach Avocado Soup with Shrimp Chips
09.11.12 by Jackie
The idea for this little first course came from an attempt to introduce avocado to my 10-month old baby Aria. The cream soup consists of barley and toor lentils, avocado and spinach. It was so delicious, I thought I'd share the same dish with our dinner guests, with a few alterations, of course. I fancied up the recipe with fresh sautéed spicy crab and Vietnamese shrimp chips called bánh phồng tôm. The velvety texture of the soup against the tasty, cracker-like chips was heavenly.
I love the idea of sharing meals with my daughter, and I'll share more of our personal favorites. I think I have a little foodie in the making!

Kenneth Whalum III, Jay Z, Diddy, Mary J Blige, Maxwell, Justin Timberlake, Ciara, 50 Cent, Beyonce
Rising jazz star Kenneth Whalum, III makes his debut onto the New York jazz scene with a bold, distinctive voice of originality, and creative artistry. As a brilliant composer, arranger, bandleader, and tenor saxophonist, Whalum will release his highly anticipated album, To Those Who Believe. "It's somewhat of a musical statement to those that believe," asserts Whalum. This statement embraces his diverse musical experiences in the world of jazz, soul and R&B to create a highly authentic and personal account of a rich acoustic sound. He is supported by a lineup of NYC's most sought after jazz talent; Robert Glasper (piano), Chris "Daddy" Dave (drums) and Derrick Hodge (bass) to produce this year's most remarkable project. Emphasizing a spiritual direction, with a mission to help and encourage people from all walks of life, Memphis native Whalum combines soulful grooves to redefine the scope of great music among his peers.
Whalum's own musical journey is defined by strong family support, his religious background, and childhood exposure to music education. He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee and was exposed to the city's rich cultural tradition. He originally started to develop as a drummer at Kirby Middle School but switched to the saxophone, at the request of his teacher. Thereafter, Whalum played professionally around town and in church, The New Olivet Baptist Church, under the leadership of his father, Rev. Kenneth T. Whalum Jr. Further musical development can also be attributed to his uncle, 8-time Grammy nominated saxophonist and recording artist Kirk Whalum. He also cites his great uncle Hugh "Peanuts' Whalum, who has played with the legendary Lionel Hampton and Miles Davis, as a major contributor to his development.
The historic legacy of Memphis' music life is reflected in Whalum's playing. It is a blues-based city that has transformed American culture, beginning with legendary Beale Street musicians and performers such as B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and Robert Johnson. Even Memphis native and world-renowned saxophonist Charles Lloyd adds an influential lyrical depth to Whalum's sound. Thus, Whalum relies on this rich cultural landscape to explore greater musical possibilities.
After a brief stay at Atlanta's historic Morehouse College, he transferred to New York City's prestigious The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, graduating in May 2008. Located in New York's Greenwich Village, he was immersed in a rigorous jazz education curriculum. In addition, Whalum was surrounded by a versatile jazz community which have included rising stars such as Robert Glasper, Bilal, and Brad Mehldau, to name a few.
In the summer of 2006, he was called upon to tour with music icon Sean "P Diddy" Combs. This engagement led to television appearances hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, Tyra Banks, Jimmy Kimmel, and David Letterman. Whalum quickly played on more gigs and tours for the industry's most sought after producers, musicians and entertainers. After Combs, Whalum toured with rapper and business leader Jay-Z. He wrote horn arrangement for Jay-Z's popular song "Roc Boys (And the Winner is)" and is featured on the album, American Gangster. This song was named No. 1 by Rolling Stone magazine's "100 best Songs of 2007."
Whalum went on to record, tour, or write for the industry's most leading musicians and entertainers, including multi-platinum artists 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Al Green, Mary J. Blige, Ciara and provided recording accompaniment for Fantasia, Beyonce, Joss Stone, and R&B producer Rodney Jerkins. More recently, he has toured across the world with R&B crooner Maxwell, playing in sold-out arenas, concert halls, and benefit concerts. Whalum can also be heard on BLACKSummers'night, Maxwell's long awaited and platinum–selling album. In 2010, this album was nominated for six Grammys, including "Best Male R&B Vocal Performance" for "Pretty Wings" and "Best R&B Album," for BLACKSummers'Night.
Whalum's artistic approach embraces diverse musical genres of southern gospel, soul, R&B, jazz, and classical. His capacity to traverse the human experience through a personal musical journey is evidenced by his rhythmic sensibility, soft ballads, and enigmatic playing. With roots in the African American church tradition, Whalum understands the tradition of human struggle for freedom. He uses music as a force for good to overcome great obstacles with faith, hard-won dignity, and an imaginative clarity. Veteran sax player Myron Walden had this to say about what he hears from such a brilliant young musician: "Beyond his years in spirit and thought he puts into his music a sincerity that touches all that hears it." Whalum has a distinguishing and remarkable ability to connect with people from all walks of life from different corners of the globe–speaking to their personal struggles, giving light to the human condition, and offering a modest insight through music in his own unique way.
The strength of his playing lies in its unrelenting quest for beauty, warmth, and rich, vibrant colors to empower his audience in any kind of setting. Whalum adds: "My faith has really gotten me to the point I'm at now and this album is somewhat of a story of how I have developed as a person as well as a musician. Of his upcoming album, He adds: "it's a snapshot of where I am in lifesome ups and downs but it's an honest statement." His upcoming release marks a bold, inventive direction for NYC's vibrant young jazz community. After reflecting on his own personal setbacks to become a professional musician, Whalum realizes it might just be a matter of faith and persistence, or for those who believe!
Mr. Whalum currently resides in Brooklyn, New York.

Raeburn Honored by Western PA Alumniby Michael Warren • April 16, 2012 Share:
Wabash head football coach Erik Raeburn was honored by the Western Pennsylvania Association of Wabash College Men as "Man of the Year" at its annual spring dinner on Friday, April 13.
The Allegheny HYP Club served as the host venue for the event as it has for several years now. Many thanks to primary event organizer Lyndall Huggler '83, who welcomed everyone and updated the crowd on the current recipient of the endowed scholarship supported by the western PA alumni and friends. Thanks also to Eriks Janelsins '02 for a fantastic introduction of Coach Raeburn and to Bob Smith for presenting the customary gift.
Raeburn spoke about the conference championship, Monon Bell victory and playoff run from last season, but also provided a glimpse into what to expect next season. Of course there were many questions for coach as well including one asking about the decision to go for two and the win in the playoff game against North Central College.

Gavin Grimm, now a 17-year-old rising senior, begins his final year at Gloucester High School on Tuesday.
He won't be able to use the same restroom as his male classmates — a battle he's been fighting since the transgender student started living life as a boy prior to his sophomore year.
Grimm stands in the national spotlight after suing the Gloucester County School Board last year over the division's restroom use policy that requires students to use the restroom associated with their physical sex or single-stall private unisex restrooms. The case is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"I don't want to say I'm afraid, but I'm not looking forward to it," Grimm...

Here's a way to start fixing the state Capitol. Maybe also repair some city halls and county courthouses.
The bipartisan reform group California Forward has proposed a modest, reasonable and doable set of significant changes in how state and local governments operate.
The package has something for everyone left and right of center, although it may not satisfy those on the extreme wings.
There's no denying the problems: gridlock, perpetually late budgets, chronic deficits, IOUs, Sacramento raids on local coffers. . . .
The solutions are a bit more controversial. But these are some steps recommended unanimously by the California Forward's Leadership Council after 18 months of mulling:
* Lower the Herculean hurdle for legislative passage of a state budget from a two-thirds majority to a simple majority. But retain the two-thirds requirement for tax increases.
Passing an on-time budget would "stop the drumbeat that no one in Sacramento knows what they're doing," says the reform group's co-chairman, Bob Hertzberg, a former Democratic Assembly speaker. The annual summer stalemate over spending is "one of the reasons people hate Sacramento so much."
Many liberals argue that the majority party -- virtually always the Democrats -- still would be handicapped if it couldn't raise taxes occasionally to finance the budget. But the counter is that at least Democrats could set the state's spending priorities, subject to gubernatorial veto.
"Those spending decisions should belong to the majority, as they do in 47 other states," says Democrat Fred Keeley, the Santa Cruz County treasurer-tax collector, a member of the group's leadership council and ex-assemblyman. Budgets get deadlocked and distorted, he asserts, while "a minority of a minority hold their breath until they turn purple."
Anyway, says council member Bruce McPherson, a former GOP legislator and secretary of state: "Let's face it, the two-thirds process hasn't worked very well. It's not an example of how to do good budgeting."
Do it with a majority vote and let the Democrats be held accountable.
* For fiscal conservatives and anyone with common sense, require that unexpected spikes in tax revenue be spent only for one-time purposes, not to enhance programs in perpetuity.
Require the sponsor of any new spending proposal, whether in the Legislature or at the ballot box, to identify the funding source. No more free-lunch proposals, such as then-actor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 2002 after-school initiative that became a $550-million annual hit on the bleeding budget.
Budget for two years, rather than one, and regularly monitor the spending plan to watch for red ink.
Set clear goals for each program. If they're not met, change or chuck the program.
Prohibit the Legislature from raising taxes on a majority vote and calling them "fees." Democrats tried that last December. The tactic is legally suspect, but worried Republicans insist that it be made unequivocally illegal.
California Forward hopes the required budgeting prudence, along with thwarting the tax-fee shenanigans, will be regarded by both political camps as a fair trade-off for eliminating the two-thirds budget vote.
* Provide local governments with more control over their own fates by barring the state from raiding property taxes and other revenue.
Permit cities, counties and school districts to unite in some common endeavor, such as gang suppression, and pay for it with a tax increase passed by a simple majority of voters. Now it would require a two-thirds vote.
* Relax term limits while reducing the overall time a person could spend in the Legislature. Lawmakers could serve only 12 years, but all of it in one house if they wanted. Now, a legislator is limited to three two-year terms in the Assembly and two four-year stints in the Senate -- a total of 14 years.
If this sounds familiar, it should. A similar proposal was rejected by voters last year. But there's one very substantial difference in this latest idea: It would affect only future legislators, not the current crop.
The goal again is to allow for growth in leadership, expertise and institutional memory in each house -- and, Hertzberg says, to discourage "people from running for another office every two minutes."
Legislators would be required to spend part of each year in their district. This is vague and possibly unenforceable. It's a response to the budding movement to demote the Legislature to part-time status. Petitions currently are circulating to qualify such an initiative for the June 2010 ballot.
The part-time Legislature notion is for another column. But initially, it seems to reflect a Norman Rockwell fantasy, a yearning for a nostalgic era that hasn't existed in California for at least a half-century. There are many impracticalities for a part-time Legislature in the 21st century.
This state is the most populated in the nation with the eighth-largest economy in the world. It needs a full-time Legislature -- operating under an improved system -- to deal with the state's increasingly complex problems. Weakening the Legislature merely would shift more power to the governor and the Capitol's 1,000-plus lobbyists.
There's also a drive to hold California's first constitutional convention since 1879 to rewrite the rambling document and submit it to voters. One problem with that is the sponsor, the business-oriented Bay Area Council, intends to select the delegates randomly in some as yet undetermined manner.
Delegates to such a momentous, historic confab should be elected, probably locally, not picked from a phone book.
Anyway, it would take years for a constitutional convention to bear fruit.
California Forward's package could be adopted by voters next year. The Legislature will consider it in the fall. If it doesn't place some version on the ballot, the reform group will sponsor an initiative.
"It's not that we don't have smart people in Sacramento," says Co-Chairman Thomas V. McKernan, a Republican activist and chief executive of the Automobile Club of Southern California. "People sometimes are captive of the system they're in. And unless we change the system, their behavior doesn't change."
The quickest, safest route to change is the course mapped out by California Forward.
