John Train, the country/folk rock band, will close the 65th annual Pastorius Park Concert Series with a performance at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 31.
The band was formed in the mid-1990s when songwriter John Houlon met guitarist Mike Brenner, and the two began performing around the Philadelphia area.
A few years later, Houlon and Brenner added bassist Steve Demarest, mandolin player Bill Fergusson and fiddle player Jay Ansill, who eventually left the band but was replaced by guitarist Mark Tucker and drummer Mark Schreiber.
John Train performs regularly in the Philadelphia area and frequently at Fergie's Pub on Sansom Street.
The band released its first album in May of 1999, titled "Angels Turned Thieves." This led to the release of five more albums over the years, with "A Wig and a Wonder" being its most recent release in April of this year. The album "Mesopotamia Blues," released in 2007, takes as its theme the war in Iraq. Many of the band's songs are about war and politics. The band also plays cover songs from time to time.
Also on Wednesday, July 31, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Pastorius Park, the CHCA will hold its 15th Annual Picnic honoring the police, firefighters, and postal workers who serve our community. The picnic is free to honored guests and their families, and also free to children 8 and under. The fee to the general public is $8 a person. To make a reservation, call Noreen Spota at 215-248-8810 by Monday, July 29 or visit chestnuthill.org.
The rain location for each concert will be at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's Lower School Auditorium, Cherokee Campus, 8000 Cherokee St. Rain statuses will be posted on chestnuthill.org by 6 p.m. on the day of the show.
The concert series is organized and produced by the Chestnut Hill Community Association and made possible by donations from the Chestnut Hill Community Fund and Chestnut Hill Hospital. Further sponsorship is provided by WXPN and the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation Department.

Katie Holmes: Trunk Shows for Holmes & Yang!
Katie Holmes and her design partner Jeanne Yang present their fashion line Holmes & Yang at a trunk show at Barneys New York on Friday (February 11) in Dallas, Texas.
The next night, the pair brought their trunk show to Barneys New York in Chicago.
The shows were so successful that there were virtually no Holmes & Yang pieces left at the end of each show and Barneys had to place a reorder!
Katie and Jeanne will be doing trunk shows in New York and Beverly Hills next month.

Ichika needs roughly 23 minutes for the first shift to kick in (13 in fanon), while Houki, supported by Tabane, reached first shift in roughly 7 minutes (at least that's what Tabane claimed).
Yeah, talk about nepotism
@ Box
I just don't like when something is stated as important yet disregarded as unimportant later, and really, is there's any reason to let Houki jump over two ranks just because that allowed the asspull overpowered weapon to materialize?
Chifuyu might said it isn't THAT important because overtime the sync level will climb, as long as you keep improving yourself. But once again, jumped three times is plain mean.

Err... the climax of the story is a little too....err....original machine bashing?
Can it be justified since the enemy is insane and is just saying out his madness mantra? Because the main characters would just treat him as insane.
How bad is it?

yea..... I review that scene in my head...

@ Treme - if the other characters call him out on being a brat/baby about then yes, it's okay. This is how the cast react whenever Kazuma says something negative about the IS.
@ Senpai - No answer to previous question? I know they protect from light bullets, but what else?

In mine, there's always a price followed. Besides being heavy as fuck, I.S. weapon are notorious for high recoil (in case of solid projectile weapon) or high energy requirement. The problem of the former is that to find alternative power for PIC, which is energy hogging by itself.
Joshua for example has his rifle mounted into a superheavy tripod with complex recoil-absorbing mechanism, while Natasha use a pair of large battery to power the wing weapon (at semi automatic instead of rapid barrage).
Still, miniaturized version does exist and alternative approach is widely used (such as improved ammunition, stronger frame, or other enhancement for existing weapon design)

@ Senpai - That sounds like it's kinda counter productive. Anyway, do you think there's such a thing as a full body IS suit?
Heavy? Ichika and the cast members partial summon their weapons all the time and use them. I don't see any of them having difficulty doing it.
Side note - Just to tell you: Canon shows that Kanzashi's IS is a ring on her finger. I'm changing it to her hairclips, but you might need this info if you include her in ST.
@ Treme - Hence why it's justifiable. Kazuma's 8 years old, so they rarely take his "I hate IS raar!" comments seriously....then they find out why.

Not really counter productive. Think of this, you have this FN P90, but due to advanced material caused by the invention of the I.S., body armor become much better, as the result, you have a light submachinegun that is practically impotent.
What do you need? More powerful ammo, with more solid penetrator for taking care of the pesky armor. To compensate, better material is needed for the frame, as well as more complex recoil dampening mechanism.
Works like above, but practically applied to anything. To the point that even normally harmless 20mm vulcan can be a threat to I.S. given sufficient barrage.
Full body I.S. suit? Isn't Chifuyu using it in White Knight incident?
Side note - Rings? Nah, I prefer the hair-clip idea, ring sounds too generic. Depend on Blitz reaction though.

Can you take someone like M or Arachne seriously if they come out and fight in those skimpy swimsuits? I'd be too busy laughing to feel scared.
How the heck does Cecilia partial summon and use that sniper of hers with no recoil or difficulty in aiming whatsoever?
Side note - I use it because it looks like it's part of her IS.
Side note 2 - How many IS pilots do you think a badass Ichika could take before dying? All of them are mook level.

Dokuganryu Ichika will take 10 or more like... really easy. My version limit his enemies to 5, assuming they have the same level of fighting skill as himself (he has both superior body and unit), if they're less skilled than than him, the number increased.
During Madoka confrontation arc, he fought seven mooks but largely on defense, with liberal dose of evasion, only able to take two enemies before reinforcement came and curbstomp the rest.

I'm more keen into the idea that PIC still working, why else Rin can punch the floor and not shatter her arm? This MIGHT explain why Ichika survived Cecilia punch in the beach incident, and the fact that Rin punched him repeatedly in golem scene and he's not even scratched.

@'Stratos - Oddly enough, she actually seems to have sniper training. She leaves the posistion after every shot and does things a normal sniper does.
@'Senpai - Do you know Crisis core? I planned to have Ichika fight nearly an army of mass produced IS before getting killed. This is the bad future, so this is a given. Unfortunately, Kazuma saw this and became scared of the IS as a result. This is also the one that made him stop being an emotionless boy (He cried afterwards for Ichika when he told him to run and not get caught).
Chifuyu used a full body suit? Anyway, does Ichika ever use anything other than or upgrade from Byaku-shiki? He needs more than that to go on.
If the IS gets damaged/cracked, do you think this would carry over to the partial form like it getting cracks or missing pieces?

I don't know crisis core, but I know that's Zack CMOA.
He'll just gain more and more sword (until the last one, anti-golem sword, appear in V7 arc).
As for training, still the same (Houki for close combat, Madoka for shooting, Cecilia for aerial combat maneuver, Rin for tactics and strategy, and Charles as his sparring partner).
The damage? By theory, they shouldn't.

One of my favorite indulgences is to wander a place alone with a camera. I slip into my invisible clothes and take to the streets without map, GPS or a destination. I've done it in Rome, Venice, Palermo, Naples, Torino, Florence, and not just Italy or the cities. The cities are fecund with the amalgam of the human condition. Milan is a working laboratory for all those little heartbeats that fill the canvas. I'm not sure if the graffiti that infects the city acts as a de-sensitizing buffer or as a Rosetta stone to its greater understanding. As an outsider I find it immensely interesting, a palimpsest of visual imagery that makes me dizzy drunk. And that's before I've even had a sip of wine.
|Ottimofiore's Gino Castaldo - Photo via Vivimilano
Fueled by heady discourse and fresh sardines (from an impressive antipasto buffet), we took in the wine. It was "dark". "What kind of wine is this?" I heard my friends want to ask. "It's what some folks call an orange wine." And I explained the basic characteristics of the orange wine movement. "Like my family used to make in Sicily," Carlo noted. Yes, Carlo, old school. It was a trip back though memory lane for me as well, sitting in the corner of a little piece of Sicily in Milan. We could have easily been back in Palermo in the 1970's.
vino sfuso I'd had earlier in the day, I confess. Maybe I am not one to wax on the glories of Cornelissen and Cos. Maybe I'm too modern. Or too simple. Maybe these wines just aren't for me. Marina cited, "I'd rather have Champagne or Chablis."
Lord knows, I keep trying. After all, it's just another bottle of wine. No comparison to new friendships and a free night on the town, off the grid.Thanks a million, Carlo and Marina, for a lovely evening in your town.

The U.S. added 217,000 jobs in May as labor markets seem to be gaining the kind of sustained momentum that has proven elusive as the economy has struggled to recover from the 2008 financial crisis.
Continue Reading Below
The headline unemployment rate was 6.3%, according to figures released Friday by the Labor Department. That rate is the same as in April, when 288,000 jobs were created, far more than had been expected.
Economists had predicted an addition of 218,000 jobs in May and that the unemployment rate would tick higher to 6.4%.
With May's additions the economy has now recovered all of the 8.7 million jobs lost during the recession that followed the crisis.
Since the crisis the economic recovery has occurred in fits and starts, with key sectors such as labor and housing appearing to gain traction only to stumble repeatedly. The May report suggests sustained momentum in the labor sector because it represents the fourth consecutive month in which more than 200,000 jobs were created.
The monthly average for jobs created during the past year now stands at 197,000, just below the 200,000 figure many economists have said would make a significant dent in the unemployment rate.
"The report is hardly shock and awe because it met expectations. But … it supports the theory that the economy is getting stronger following the cold, raw winter we just had, which accounts for the -1% (first quarter) GDP," said Todd Schoenberger, managing partner at LandColt Capital LP in New York.
"The wild card is wage growth, though. It's nonexistent, and it will bring the minimum wage argument back to the front pages," he added.
For months economists have been digging deeper into the Labor Department's monthly employment report, looking for significant indicators of strength beyond the headline unemployment rate and the number of jobs created.
The labor force participation rate, a key gauge of the percentage of working-age Americans currently employed, has come under close scrutiny as large numbers of workers have left the workforce each month either due to retirement or out of frustration in finding a decent job.
The labor force participation rate was unchanged in May, at 62.8%, the Labor Department reported. The participation rate hasn't moved much since October but is down by 0.6% during the past year.
The tepid labor force participation rate, which has hovered for months at its lowest level in four decades, is a primary reason the unemployment rate has fallen rapidly in the years since the recession ended in 2009.
David Kelly, chief global strategist for JPMorgan Funds, said weakness in the labor force participation rate is a reminder of "some sluggish U.S. economic fundamentals."
"Lack of investment spending in recent years has sapped productivity growth while the retirement of the baby-boom is largely responsible for the weakness in labor force growth and neither of these problems are likely to be remedied over the next few years," Kelly said ahead of the release of Friday's labor report.
Given the Fed's heightened interest in inflation recently, economists are currently keeping a close eye on monthly wage figures.
In May, average hourly earnings for all non-farm employees rose by 5 cents to $24.38. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen by 2.1%, slightly higher than the Fed's target inflation rate.
Wages were essentially stagnant in April, a situation that gave pause to economists.
It will now be up to the Fed to scrutinizing the May report to determine whether April's leveling off was an anomaly or an indication that wages are in a holding pattern, which would be bad for the overall economy especially in terms of what it means for inflation.
Because the headline unemployment rate has proven misleading as an indicator for the health of the broader economy, the Fed has increasingly focused on the inflation rate to determine future policy decisions such as raising interest rates.
Inflation has hovered at 1% for months, a full percentage point below the Fed's target rate of 2%. Central bank policy makers have said they won't start raising interest rates until inflation approaches that target.
Wages will play a key role in pushing inflation higher toward the Fed's desired threshold. When wages move higher workers spend more money, which creates demand for goods and ultimately pushes prices higher. All of these elements are signs of a strengthening economy, just what the Fed needs to begin raising interest rates.

Conduct Sanctions
Sanctions are designed to promote Willamette University's educational mission. They may also serve to promote safety or to deter students from behavior which harms or threatens people or property. The university adheres to a progressive disciplinary system. In determining the appropriate sanction, conduct administrators and student conduct board members will consider a student's record of prior violations and the time which has elapsed between offenses. Repeat violations will have a cumulative impact that will result in more severe sanctions.
Hearing administrators may consider mitigating and aggravating circumstances. Sanctions will be situational and dependent on factors such as the student's attitude, commitment to changing behavior, level of self-responsibility, and personal circumstances in the student's life.
One or more of the following sanctions may be the outcome of an administrative hearing or conversation:
A. Warning
The student is given written notice of the outcome and informed future violations of the Code of Student Conduct may result in more serious sanctions.
B. Service to the university
The student is required to render a designated number of hours in the service of the academic, on-campus, or off-campus community under the direction of the Dean of Students or designee.
C. Restitution
The student is required to reimburse personal injury costs or replace or restore damaged, stolen or misappropriated property.
D. Fine
The student is required to pay a designated amount of money to the university as penalty for a violation.
E. University conduct probation
The university may require the student to acknowledge specific terms of the probation and specific outcomes should the student fail to abide by the terms of probation. Additionally, the student's participation in university life may be placed on provisional status, with or without loss of designated privileges, e.g., suspension of participation in campus activities, clubs, etc.
F. Suspension
The student's participation in university life is severed including denial of enrollment, attendance and other university privileges, and loss of all fees and academic credit for the semester in which the suspension takes place. As applied to student organizations, this sanction is equivalent to loss of university recognition and all privileges associated with such recognition.
G. Dismissal
The student's participation in university life is severed indefinitely, including denial of enrollment, attendance and other university privileges, and loss of all fees and academic credit for the semester in which the dismissal takes place.
H. Other
The university may impose other sanctions as deemed necessary and appropriate. This may include but is not limited to restricted contact, trespass from certain buildings or campus, required education, assessment and treatment programs at the student's expense. The university may limit participation in university activities or organizations or revoke designated privileges to participate in university life.

Most actresses get naked on screen in the beginning of their careers. They're young, broke, and trying to break into the industry. But not Courteney Cox. Courteney Cox is choosing the path less traveled, and stripping down now at the ripe ol' age of 48. While I'm definitely surprised by this career choice -- and not wholly convinced this is something I'd do at 48 (or, um, now) -- I've gotta say: Good for Courteney!
For an upcoming episode of Cougar Town, Cox's character and her on-screen hubby Josh Hopkins strip down during a "naked day" to spice things up in their marriage. Sex-ay.
Now, since Cougar Town isn't on Skinemax, we're clearly not going to be seeing any boobs or vajay here, but still -- Courteney probably didn't have much more than flesh-colored underwear on during filming. And that takes balls no matter what your age! Cox explained to Us Weekly: "I did know in advance [but] I did not take advantage of the time I had to know. Lighting is everything! I'm not kidding. You could walk into a room and go, 'Wow! I look great today.' And one step further, you're like, 'Oh my God, I look horrible!'"
Truth on the lighting thing, Courteney, truth. But let's get back to her getting naked. I mean, look, Courteney Cox is a beautiful woman, and she weighs about four pounds, so really, there isn't much she needs to worry about when taking it off. But I will say this: confidence, which it seems like Courteney has, is hands-down the biggest thing when it comes to being naked or wearing a bathing suit. You don't have to be the most in shape person in the world, but if you're perfectly happy with how you look, other people will be, too.
To us, Courteney may not have much to worry about when getting naked -- like I said, gorgeous, thin, etc. But I'm sure to her, she's got her issues. I mean, most women don't like their bodies better at almost 50 than 25. So the fact that she's going nude says a lot. It says she's perfectly happy with the way she looks. And it also says she's getting paid a boatload of cash.
Are you confident with your body?

World Cup 2014: Germany finds two extra-time goals to beat Algeria 2-1
Germany was pushed all the way by an inspired Algeria on Tuesday before Andre Schuerrle and Mesut Ozil secured them a 2-1 extra-time victory to send them into a mouth-watering World Cup quarter-final meeting with France.
The North African outsiders played with energy and confidence to regularly expose a static German defence but in the end the European team's power and fitness counted.
With the score 0-0 at full-time, substitute Schuerrle flicked in a low-cross from Thomas Mueller. Ozil buried the Algerian dream in the last minute - but in a final moment of drama, Abdelmoumene Djabou grabbed a consolation goal for the brave Algerians just before the final whistle.
"We showed the whole world that Algeria has a great team. Now people around the world will have seen our qualities," defender Madjid Bougherra told German television.
It doesn't matter how we won, the important thing is that we're in the quarter-finals now against France.Andre Schuerlle
The victory extended Germany's remarkable record of reaching at least the quarter-finals in every World Cup they have entered since 1938 and gave it its first win in three attempts against Algeria, which was playing in the last-16 for the first time.
It also denied Algeria, which famously beat West Germany in a 1982 World Cup group game, revenge for the so-called "Disgrace of Gijon". After the Algerian victory, West Germany secured a narrow win over Austria in a farcical, half-hearted game which saw both of them go through at Algeria's expense.
That history weighed heavy on Tuesday's clash in Porto Alegre, with Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic saying it would motivate the "Desert Foxes". For the first half at least, it looked like they might have that revenge.
"We would have preferred to have won this differently. The Algerians did a good job, they disrupted us from the start and didn't let us get into our game," Schuerrle said.
"But it doesn't matter how we won, the important thing is that we're in the quarter-finals now against France."
Germany, playing in all-white, took a long time getting into their stride at the Beira Rio stadium and seemed to lack inspiration, with most of the thrills coming from swift Algerian counter-attacks.
The Germans tried to find Mueller - scorer of nine goals in his nine previous World Cup matches - in early probes but the passes were just too far ahead of him as he ran goal-wards.
Algeria, in an all-green strip, showed just what a threat it posed early on when Islam Slimani broke down the left and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer charged out of the box to cut him off.
A few minutes later Sofiane Feghouli cut in nicely from the right but his shot went astray. Slimani hit the net with a diving header from a cross in the 16th minute but was ruled offside.
Algeria always looked dangerous with Faouzi Ghoulam and El Arabi Soudani coming the left-flank. But Germany began to look more purposeful and Ozil had a couple of shots from the left of the box parried by goalkeeper Rais Mbolhi.
Mbolhi began to get busier - Mueller headed wide then a long-range shot from Toni Kroos was batted away by the Algerian goalie only for Mario Goetze to hit the rebound back at him.
In the second half, Germany began to gain ascendancy. Minutes in, Shkodran Mustafi leapt to a cross but Mbolhi stopped the header. A driving shot by captain Philipp Lahm from outside the penalty area was tipped away for a corner.
The Algerians, never ones to shrink from tackles, began to spend more time packing the defence as the Germans pushed up in waves. Their counterattack still managed to find holes in the German defence to keep hopes of an upset alive but the shots and headers were coming in thick and fast at the other end.
There would be some embarrassment for Mueller, who contrived to spoil a rehearsed free-kick routine with a slip while running at the ball.
It looked all over for Algeria when Mueller, by now getting the better of his marker, rose to head at goal from a few meters out but the magnificent Mbolhi again saved. Moments later, Mueller shot just wide.
And so to extra-time. But just two minutes in, second-half substitute Schuerrle finally broke Algerian resistance before the late exchange of goals from Ozil and Djabou.
With Nigeria's loss to France in Monday's other match, all the African teams are now out of the tournament.

If Autocar's reporting pans out, torque meisters will have a diesel Jaguar with which to engage in stump-pulling exercises. The UK mag reports a diesel-powered XK in likely by the car's next facelift, due in 2009. The "XKD" had reportedly been in the offing since the latest XK hit the drawing board, but no existing engine would suffice and the market for luxodiesels wasn't clear. But a new, 3.0-liter turbodiesel producing around 250 hp will be done in 18 months. The XKD will compete with BMW's new 635d, which will go on sale this fall.

Heritage and History
Liverpool's World Heritage status ranks the city alongside other internationally known historic cities such as Vienna and Venice. It stretches along the waterfront from The Royal Albert Dock through The Pier Head and up to Stanley Dock, and up through the historic commercial districts and the RopeWalks area to the historic cultural quarter around William Brown Street. The port and the city's buildings are an exceptional testimony to mercantile culture.
Impressively located on Liverpool's waterfront, World Museum Liverpool is one of Britain's finest, with an extensive collection of fascinating exhibits. From the sea to the stars, a visit to World Museum reveals millions of years of Earth's history. The museum is a pleasant 10-minute riverside stroll from ACC Liverpool and well worth a visit.
A 'must see' on any visit to Liverpool is Britain's biggest Cathedral: awesome architecture including the world's highest Gothic arches, astonishing views from the top of the Tower (the highest point in Liverpool), the world's highest and heaviest peal of bells, sublime music, award-winning shop – and always something going on to experience!
The Royal Albert Dock is the largest collection of Grade I listed buildings in Britain. A vibrant, cultured, friendly and fun place to visit, the dock includes the Tate Liverpool gallery, Merseyside Maritime Museum, The Beatles Story exhibition, and an array of bars and restaurants. The Royal Albert Dock Visitor Centre offers a variety of services to help delegates make the most of our fantastic city.
For nearly a century the Three Graces - The Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building - have helped define one of the world's most recognised skylines. These majestic waterfront buildings were conceived and constructed as visible symbols of Liverpool's international prestige and became proud emblems of its commercial prowess.
A Grade I listed, 300-year-old building in the heart of Liverpool, the Bluecoat offers a year-round programme of visual art, literature, music, dance and live art.

text: Marat, designed by Ludwig Übele, is an elegant and lively typeface with a friendly appearance. Originally conceived as a magazine face, it evolved into a comprehensive family for general use, combining features and qualities of both traditional book faces for body copy and expressive display fonts like the striking Marat Fat. The five core weights are accompanied by charmingly flowing italics which lend themselves to be used on their own. The lighter weights are suitable for sizes down to 10 px. Marat is the perfect companion for Marat Sans, its restrained sans serif relative. LudwigType, 2008

American Legion says lawmakers using veterans as pawn in government shutdown fight
WASHINGTON – Officials at the American Legion are accusing the White House and members of Congress of using veterans in their efforts to win over the public during a partial government shutdown — and ask that they stop and get a deal done.
Outside the closed National World War II Memorial on the National Mall, officials with the veterans group said Friday that lawmakers from both parties are guilty of the tactic.
"Don't use the men and women who sacrificed for the security of this nation as a pawn, as a tool, to persuade the American public one way or the other," Peter Gaytan, executive director of the American Legion, told reporters. "Stop using the veterans, because veterans are suffering because of the bickering in Congress."
The GOP-led House has approved stopgap measures to fund various benefits administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs during a shutdown. Republicans used the votes to criticize Democratic representatives in competitive congressional districts.
Democrats largely back the Obama administration's approach to funding the entire government rather than approve piecemeal bills. To bolster their case, they cited comments from veterans groups criticizing short-term resolutions as "not acceptable."
President Barack Obama also has cited veterans in the debate, describing an example of a furloughed worker as "somebody in a VA office who's counseling one of our vets who's got PTSD." However, the VA has made clear that veterans seeking health care will have full access to VA facilities during the shutdown.
Most of the VA's budget is not affected by the partial shutdown, but disability claims, pensions and education benefits are in danger of being cut off if the shutdown extends into late October.
Veterans groups have been careful not to blame one side or the other for the shutdown.
"I blame the president, the Senate and the House for the impasse," Daniel M. Dellinger, national commander of the American Legion, said to applause from several dozen veterans and spectators standing outside the World War II memorial.
But the effort to stay neutral may also have lessened the pressure to reach an agreement.
"I think it's going to go on for weeks," Dellinger said.

Measuring networks
In consequence of the reactor accident in Chernobyl, a nationwide measuring system was established in Germany to measure the environmental radioactivity. The reactor accident of Chernobyl in 1986 showed that the preparations for the event of a large-area contamination of the environment were far from being sufficient. Radioactivity measurements in the environment had not been carried out systematically and had not been co-ordinated. The dose estimations and the exchange of data among the institutions had not been planned in advance and, as a result, were time-consuming. A comprehensive presentation of results was done only unsystematically. This contributed to politicians evaluating the situation differently and led to considerable feelings of insecurity in the population.
The Precautionary Radiation Protection Act (Strahlenschutzvorsorgegesetz, in German only) was created and has since provided for the continuous monitoring of radioactive substances in the environment based on binding measuring programmes. After a transitional period it will be replaced by the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG, in German only) which entered into force in July 2017.

The Rev. Annie Fritschner is the recipient of the sixth annual ATHENA award, presented today at Kenmure Country Club.
FLAT ROCK — "This is extremely, extremely personal and meaningful to me," a stunned Rev. Annie Fritschner told the crowd after receiving the ATHENA award Thursday at the annual Business and Professional Women's Luncheon at Kenmure Country Club.
The sixth annual ATHENA award is presented in memory of Vanessa Y. Mintz, who Fritschner said was the first person she met in Henderson County 19 years ago. The award is given to an exemplary community leader in Henderson County who is the epitome of a professional leader and assists women to achieve their full leadership potential.
Fritschner worked with Pardee Hospital, the Medical Resources Clinic, Mainstay's shelter for domestic violence victims, Four Seasons hospice, Habitat for Humanity and the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina, ATHENA award committee member Mike Kai told the audience as he announced this year's eight nominees.
Fritschner is minister of pastoral visitation at First United Methodist Church in Hendersonville and has been awarded the Outstanding Fund Raising Executive Award from the WNC chapter of the Association of Fund Raising Professionals.
She also helped raise money for domestic violence prevention and awareness about sexual and physical abuse impacting women in India, and helped uninsured and underinsured women with breast cancer.
At a young age, Fritschner began volunteering at soup kitchens. She later trained in economic and urban studies at Connecticut College.
"It is important to realize in every community in the country, there are wonderful women doing wonderful things in both the public and private sectors," said former Gov. Beverly Perdue, keynote speaker at the luncheon.
Perdue emphasized that leadership is earned.
"You've got to show what you have within to influence others," she said, adding that everyone should take time to celebrate leaders in their community. "This ATHENA award gives you all a chance to celebrate the lifetime work and commitment of ordinary people who have caused Hendersonville and the area to go through extraordinary change and impact the lives of others."
Nominees for the award were Maurean Adams, Children and Family Resource Center executive director; Marybeth Burns of Summit Marketing, owner and marketing coordinator; Julie Gordon, owner of Discover in Action; Melanie Matteson, Kimberly-Clark, operations analyst V; Shirley Palmer-Hill, owner of Wickwire Gallery; Janice Prichard, Henderson County human resource director; and Sissy Rogers, SELEE Corporation, vice president of human resources.
The Henderson County Chamber of Commerce facilitated the ATHENA Leadership Award and Morris Broadband and Judy Stroud/State Farm Insurance sponsored the event.

Snowboarding, mountain-biking and kayaking families need look no further. BMW revealed its most practical 3 Series ever, and no, it's not the new Wagon. BMW has expanded the 3 Series range in every sense of the word by adding the all-new Gran Turismo to the line-up.
Described as a more practical and spacious 3 Series, it has a higher hip-point that purports to retain all the dynamics of its sedan, while adding more practicality. Lots of it. Or so BMW tells us. Although in reality it's not so straightforward since the 3 Series DNA is somewhat unrecognizable.
In the flesh it looks as big as it feels. The 3 GT's swollen dimensions add gravitas as well as awkwardness to its lines. It's a fastback that looks SUV-lite in its stance.
Best seen in the M Sport trim, it has more aggressive front intakes, larger 19" wheels and a revised rear bumper. The flanks have an additional feature line to break up what might otherwise be slab sides, and the boomerang-shaped 'breather' behind the front wheel isn't just a visual trick, but is claimed to smooth turbulent airflow over the front wheels to benefit economy.
Key to the increased scale is the wheelbase stretch that adds a whopping 4.3" over the sedan, resulting in rear legroom to rival its big brother, the 7 Series.
The trunk can swallow more than the 3 Series Wagon, although the tapering roofline might be a hindrance. Yet it's undeniably capacious, and it feels big; the cabin is similar to the Sedan but with more head-, shoulder- and legroom. And the occupants are perched higher, too.
BMW reckons the additional space comes without any loss in driving dynamics. At least, that's what it says publicly. Privately they admitted its extra usefulness brings a softer side but the M Sport version we drove was able to mask it. The 19" wheels, M Sport adaptive suspension and stiffer anti-roll bars made it feel decidedly sporty. The car also sat 10mm lower than a regular GT, which normally sits 25mm higher than the sedan...
No amount of suspension could disguise the GT's additional bulk, and the stretched wheelbase slowed its cornering turn-in response. However, the 335i's familiar N55 3.0-litre turbo engine countered our misgivings. The smooth yet ferocious delivery was addictive, and loosening the electronic safety net allowed the rear wheels to help the fronts find their cornering angle.
We were almost surprised that you can drive the GT in extremis, but it's best enjoyed as its name suggests - as a grand tourer. The refinement and extra interior space creates a relaxed attitude and the eight-speed automatic transmission ensures the engine remains quiet unless it's prodded.
Whether there's a gap in the market between the 3 Series Sedan and Wagon remains to be seen, but active families who are looking for versatility, comfort and performance might want to consider the GT over some of the crossover competitors.
The 3 Series Gran Turismo arrives this summer as both a 328i and 335i.

In Orthodox circles the term convert is often used to describe someone who had:
- no religious beliefs (i.e., atheism)
- non-Christian religious beliefs (e.g., Muslim, Buddhist)
- non-Orthodox or heterodox Christian beliefs (e.g. Roman Catholic, Protestant)
and decided to become a Orthodox Christian. In the later case, the individual may be received in the Church by chrismation. In the two former cases, individuals would be received by baptism.

Since university, I've enjoyed cooking my own meals (necessity became enjoyment) and having recently started my first graduate job (meaning low pay, high transportation costs) what better time to use my 'uni skills'. When I came across your website, it was seriously a lifesaver! I didn't hesitate to buy your book when I saw it released at my local Kinokuniya bookstore (I live in Malaysia if you're curious). Thankfully there is rather large japanese community here in Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding suburbs that it is quite easy to get the japanese ingredients.
I figured it best to ask you what http://foorah.tumblr.com/post/1458628879/i-remember-trying-this-when-i-w... is!
It tasted sort of like dango (but looked more like a rice cake on a flat stick), was crispy on the outside and the sauce coating it tasted like Mitarashi sauce.
I found the dango recipe on the justhungry website and I'm wondering if you could recommend me a recipe for that? (whatever that is).
It sort of looks like kiritanpo - beaten regular (not mochi) rice, formed into a dough around a stick and grilled over charcoal. It's usually put into hotpots or soups and stewed. My mother loves it. It's a speciality of the northern part of Japan. I'll see if I can find a recipe somewhere...
ETA: My mother says that that's more likely goheimochi (五平餅)- similar kind of rice goo on a stick, and eaten with a miso based sauce. It's a speciality of the Nagano region.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Does it help that I had it when I was visiting the castle in Nagoya?
That looks ridiculously tasty! Are there any recipes for this floating around? Or is there really not a whole lot more to it than this one?
Goheimochi (Grilled Rice Cake)
330g cooked rice, 1Tbsp flour
Sauce: 30g ground sesame seeds→20g peanuts (or walnuts) →20g sugar
→20g miso →1 Tbsp sweet sake(mirin) →1Tbsp soy sauce
[[From: http://kcc.fc2web.com/rcp/408_maturi.htm ]]
It was all I could find in english.. google translator mangled the others beyond reasoning.. =P
I went to a friend's house yesterday for nabe and we made some dumplings by grinding regular Japanese cooked rice in suribachi until it resembled roughly pounded mochi. With wet hands the pounded and ground rice was formed into balls and then dropped into the stock. It was very hard work!!!
At home I dropped some just cooked rice into the prewarmed bin of my basic bread maker and let it grind away for about ten minutes. Result was exactly the same but without the red hands and sore wrists. I had some in soup but thought I'd investigate to see what I should do with the rest and this thread turned up.
I tried out the recipe T'Marie posted for goheimochi as I had sesame seeds and walnuts to hand (I did see a similar recipe where miso, soy and mirin was combined with chestnut puree instead of the nuts and sesame seeds) and it was delicious. I'll have to practice more as the photo in the original post shows some extremely thin gohei mochi with an optimum rice to miso sauce ratio. Even so, it was very nice and something I will be preparing for the young children I know over the winter, it's the perfect food to hold with pre-soaked sticks over an open fire. As a mum I'll feel more secure offering this than real mochi, which is a choking hazard.
If you have a breadmaker or a kitchenaid with a dough hook I'd definitely recommend this kind of dumpling - for sweet or savoury dishes. I'll try it with brown rice on the next attempt. I'm not sold on the idea of brown rice mochi but brown rice goheimochi might suit me very well.
The savoury (or rather, unsweetened) rice dumplings you can make by pounding regular Japanese rice and forming into balls are called Damako Mochi. They are a speciality of Akita prefecture as is damako nabe. There's something extremely satisfying about the dense texture on a cold day.
I made some more today along with a second round of gohei mochi. Very easy to make thin shapes by pressing it between clingfilm/plastic wrap then folding over sandwiching a stick or skewers inside and pressing out flat again. The sauce is easy work in a pestle and mortar, takes about a minute.
AND AGAIN with a note on Damako mochi made with brown rice. Works very well - especially if you can apply some high heat to the shaped balls so that parts of them brown and toast. A welcome addition to a soup, much nicer than simply adding rice. As can be expected, the texture is less firm and elastic than the white rice version. I like this as a healthy wholesome convenience food, toasted, cooled, wrapped in the freezer ready to drop into a bowl of soup whenever needed. Doesn't have enough of a toothsome bite to make me want them in gohei mochi though.

This is not an offer for credit and should be used for estimation purposes only based on the information you provided. You should not base your decision on this estimate alone. Title, registration, tax and other fees, and personal circumstances such as employment status and personal credit history, were not considered in the calculations.
Choose the perfect ATV for the job or trail.
Every ATV starts with a dream. And where do you dream of riding? Maybe you'll use your ATV for hunting or fishing. Maybe it needs to work hard on the farm, ranch or jobsite. Maybe you want to get out and explore someplace where the cellphone doesn't ring, where the air is cold and clean. Or maybe it's for chores around your property. Chances are, it's going to be a little of all of those things — which is why a Honda Rancher® makes sense.
The Rancher lineup gives you a huge choice of ATV features, so you can find the exact model that fits your needs. Our 420 cc Rancher lineup offers a robust list of options and there are even some sharp new color choices this year too. No matter which Rancher you choose, you'll always get the value, quality and dependability of a Honda.
Important Safety Information: Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.

1. Mike Trout's sophomore slump consisted of a 9.2 WAR (down from 10.7), .323 average (down from .326) and 27 home runs (down from 30). The 22-year-old still managed a second consecutive runner-up in the AL MVP vote and if Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton can help Trout see some better pitches, the sky is the limit. Trout will return to center field, where he produced plenty of highlight reel catches as a rookie in 2012.
2. Despite Pujols and Hamilton batting under .260 and combining for less than 40 home runs and 150 RBIs, only six teams scored more runs than the Angels last season. If Pujols can stay healthy – he played hurt and eventually missed 63 games last season – and a bigger, stronger Hamilton can find something closer to his MVP form, the Angels offense will be a force.
3. Not only did the Angels avoid overpaying an aging slugger in the offseason, they made targeted moves specific to their needs. They revamped the starting rotation by trading for two young pitchers. They swapped an expendable outfielder for a veteran third baseman, picked up a pair of relief pitchers and a veteran utility infielder. These moves don't heighten expectations the way Pujols and Hamilton did, but maybe they'll produce better results.
1. Of the Angels Nos. 3, 4 and 5 starting pitchers, how many have been in a major league rotation for an entire season? If you guessed zero, you're right. Behind Jered Weaver and C.J. Wilson, the Angels are taking a leap of faith with part-time reliever Garrett Richards and young trade acquisitions Hector Santiago and Tyler Skaggs, neither of which have even been in the major leagues for a whole season. If that's not unsettling enough, an injury would force Jerome Williams, Matt Shoemaker or Wade LeBlanc into the rotation.
2. With each disappointing year, the seat continues to heat up under manager Mike Scioscia. Both the 15th-year manager and general manager Jerry Dipoto don't have much rope left, but Angels owner Arte Moreno likely doesn't want to fire either just yet in acknowledgment that the spending spree of the last two years has failed. A slow enough start to the season may be enough to cost Scioscia or Dipoto his job.
3. Since the departure of Torii Hunter in 2012, the Angels' clubhouse chemistry has been a concern. The name of the current Detroit Tiger surfaced more than a few times last season as no leader emerged to fill the void. Chemistry suffered another blow in the offseason when Mark Trumbo was traded, breaking up a group of Angels that came up together in their minor league system.

Appendix A: Research Methodology
This guide is based on a descriptive study of eight charter schools selected for their exemplary achievement and for geographic and programmatic variety. While the schools are successful, the descriptive methodology does not support causal claims about which factors, or combinations of factors, led to their success. Nor does this guide constitute an endorsement of any specific commercial program or instructional practice. It does provide a portrait of what several successful schools look like and an analysis of common elements across schools. A brief description of this project's methodology follows.
Nomination Process
An informal, nationwide recommendation process resulted in over 250 schools from 31 states being suggested for consideration. Nominations came from the advisory panel (see the acknowledgments section), state departments of education staff, charter school associations, authorizers, charter school administrators, and parents. Requests for nominations went out through key contacts to these networks, as well as through the U.S. Charter Schools Web site. Many schools nominated themselves.
Site Selection Criteria
The first and major criterion for site selection was exemplary achievement. Following the advice of the advisory panel, the emphasis was on improvement in achievement, rather than absolute achievement level, and on improvement trends across several years, so as to identify schools that were reliably becoming stronger and more effective over time. More specifically, the school had to have been established as a charter school no later than fall 1999, and it had to have achievement data for three consecutive years on the same measure, in order to show gains from one year to the next in two consecutive years. A final achievement criterion was that the school had met its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) target in the most recent year for which AYP had been announced to schools, as of December 19, 2003.
To check achievement scores, the research staff looked at published data on state Web sites, at the database of achievement scores compiled by the Brown Center on Education Policy at the Brookings Institution, and at information supplied by schools. For some states, it was impossible to find interpretable data. In other states, all schools were too new to have enough achievement data available. Unfortunately, very small schools were generally eliminated, because the scores for small sample sizes are not reliable and therefore are not reported.
Twenty-nine schools had acceptable achievement data and moved to the next phase of screening. Following the advice of the advisory panel, information was collected through public data and brief interviews about the grade levels served by the school, demographics of the population served, location, authorizer, and educational program. The goal was to find a diverse set of schools, encompassing both elementary and secondary levels, serving mostly low socioeconomic status students but some serving the general population, having a range of authorizers, representing different ethnic configurations, and having locations around the country. Final factors in screening, based on interview data, were stable leadership, evidence of parent involvement and parent satisfaction, and a positive relationship with the authorizer.
Study Framework and Data Collection
A conceptual framework to guide the study was developed from an analysis of research on charter schools and organizational effectiveness. Charter school experts, recruited to serve on the advisory panel, provided feedback to refine this framework and prioritize issues to investigate. The resulting study scope guided all aspects of the study (see figure 2 on page 4).
Collecting detailed descriptive information from project participants was key to understanding each school's vision and practices, the outcomes or impact achieved, and lessons learned that others could benefit from. Each school hosted a two-day site visit that included interviews with site leaders, teachers, board members, parents, and students as well as observations of classes and school events. In addition, artifacts from the sites, such as letters to parents, schedules, and training agendas, were collected to provide concrete examples of school practices. Site visitors reviewed the information from each site and developed a case report.
From the case reports, artifacts, and transcripts of interviews, the project team identified common elements that contributed to success across the sites. This analysis built on the research literature and study scope but also reflected patterns in the data and significant features that emerged in this study's cross-case analysis.
This descriptive research process suggests promising practices—ways to do things that others have found helpful, lessons they have learned about what not to do, and practical, "how-to" guidance. This is not the kind of experimental research that can yield valid causal claims about what works. Readers should judge for themselves the merits of these practices, based on their understanding of why they should work, how they fit the local context, and what happens when they actually try them. Also, readers should understand that these descriptions do not constitute an endorsement of specific practices or products.
Reports and Dissemination
Two products resulted from this research: a report of the findings and this practitioner's guide. The report provides the detailed description of each site, sample artifacts, an analysis of key findings across sites, and key project documents. The practitioner's guide is a summary of the report intended for broad distribution through conference presentations, as well as through national associations and networks. The guide and report are also accessible online at http://www.ed.gov/admins/comm/choice/charter/.
Ultimately, readers of this guide will need to select, adapt, and implement practices that meet their individual needs and contexts. Schools coming together in learning communities may continue the study, using the ideas and practices from these sites as a springboard for their own action research. In this way, a pool of promising practices will grow, and schools can support each other in implementation and learning.

Parents Television Council Accused Of Dumping Petitions, Just Focused On Cash
from the well,-look-at-that... dept
However, the NY Times recently had an article that suggests things are even more screwed up for the PTC than what was already known. It includes accusations from a whistleblower who worked at the PTC that the organization would ignore petitions that were sent in, just taking donations and not doing anything with the material. To understand what apparently happened, you need to understand how the PTC works. It generally sends out hyped up FUD-filled "petitions" that it asks people to sign, with promises that the PTC will pass them on to the FCC or whoever else. Except, the accusations claim that the PTC would take the returned envelopes, take out the cash, but then never pass them on to the FCC.
For a group that tries to present itself as being super ethical, taking money and failing to live up to what you promised to do in exchange for the money seems pretty unethical.
The group's response to this seems to be to attack the whistleblower, trying to turn his request for severance after he left the organization into a claim that he was trying to extort money from them. Unfortunately for the PTC, after the LAPD investigated the accusations of extortion, it found that the guy did not commit extortion. Rather than admitting that, it seems that any time anyone brings up these questions, the PTC goes right back to accusing the guy of extortion. At some point, you'd have to think that if the PTC continues to make such charges, the guy might actually have a decent defamation claim against them....

Morning Five: 08.20.10 EditionPosted by jstevrtc on August 20th, 2010
- Looking for a kid to root for in two years (after a redshirt year)? Look no further than Jimmy McDonnell, now possessive of a spankin' new basketball scholarship at Temple. Mike DeCourcy has a great summary of a young man who wasn't even a college hoops prospect of any kind early in his high school hoops career, but became one through hard work and the help of a couple of coaches who saw something in him. He sounds like one of those first-to-arrive, last-to-leave kinds of players to us, and that's something we can always get behind.
- It would be tough to root against Deandre Daniels, too, a top prospect in the 2011 class (ESPNU #28, Rivals #10, Scout #8 PF) who might reclassify into the 2010 class within the next 24 hours. Daniels missed a lot of school two years ago to help care for a grandfather stricken with cancer, got moved to the 2011 class, but has caught up with his original 2010 class through night classes and summer school. After decommitting from Texas for 2011, he's got several scholly offers for this season, and Kentucky appears to have a head in front, which should surprise nobody anymore.
- Kansas lost a couple of players on Wednesday when C.J. Henry and Chase Buford both decided to put Lawrence in their rearview mirrors. Buford averaged about two minutes a game over 11 appearances and decided that he wants his senior year of college to be that of a regular student. Henry, as you may recall, was a first-round draft pick of the Yankees back in 2005, received a $1.6 million bonus and had his tuition paid by the Yanks at Memphis. When brother Xavier committed to Kansas and John Calipari left for Kentucky, C.J. was released from his LOI and enrolled as a Jayhawk, redshirting his freshman year. He's out of baseball, and after averaging five minutes a game over 15 games last season for KU, he's looking to continue his basketball career elsewhere.
- Jay Vincent, a former teammate of Magic's on the '79 Michigan State championship team and a nine-year NBA veteran, was indicted yesterday in an online employment scam. He and a partner were pinched for allegedly fronting a company that prepared people to inspect bank-foreclosed homes, asking applicants for money in advance for liability insurance and background checks. Turns out, no policies were bought, and no background checks were performed. The total take? Close to $2 million.
- After having jerseys retired in three sports in high school, Drew Shiller didn't exactly see a college career filled with hip surgeries and long stretches on crutches and in physical therapy/rehab. After starting at San Francisco, he transferred to Stanford, but always felt limited because of his surgeries. He stuck with it, though, and in the process made two Pac-10 all-academic teams and just took his master's degree from Stanford. Nice short profile by the San Jose Mercury News.

A mere five months have passed since Buffalo Bills tight end Scott Chandler suffered a torn ACL in a loss against the Miami Dolphins in December. Yet, Chandler is already back on the practice field running routes, making cuts and catching passes.
Chandler isn't participating with the rest of the team during OTAs. He had an individual workout away from the team Thursday catching passes from undrafted rookie quarterback Jeff Tuel. But for being just over four months removed from reconstructive surgery on his knee, it was a strong showing of the progress he's made in his rehab process.
"The knee feels really good," Chandler said, via the team's official website. "I feel great. Running routes you could probably tell it's not 100 percent, but it's better than most so I feel good."
Chandler said he's been running routes for the last three weeks. Despite his progress, the Bills will likely choose to be cautious and continue to hold him out of team activities through the team's mini-camp in June. For Chandler, being ready for training camp was always the goal anyway.
"I feel it's realistic," Chandler said. "It's kind of what I expected. Honestly I just wanted to be ready to go when training camp and the season came around. I'm not a guy who is going to sit there and hope that it gets better. I'm going to be proactive."
Chandler appeared in 15 games last season for the Bills before the injury and made 13 starts. He caught 43 passes for 571 and six touchdowns.
