This photo provided by the Romney family to Parade Magazine is wonderful. The horizontal arms, the beaming face of a happy boy having as much fun as a boy can. Grandpa can't help looking good in a photo like this. To take a picture like this three elements of preparation are required.
First, marry your nineteen-year-old sweetheart when you are twenty-one.
Second, begin rearing several children together over the next decade.
Third, grow old enjoying the company of your adult children, their spouses, and your many grandchildren.
Most of the photos will be ordinary-to-bad, but as with the dozens of photographers in the endzone each hoping he will capture the touchdown pass with just the right angle at just the right instant, given enough grandchildren and opportunities, some of the snaps will be gems like the one above of little Miles on the snow.
Ann Romney told Parade that if her husband is elected "You are going to see horses at the White House. And lots of grandchildren." The latter would be a rarity, as few presidents carried out the three steps above before being sworn in. Looking back at the last several decades, only one managed it.

Federal measures in both houses would keep 149 towers, including Punta Gorda's operating past a June 15 shutdown target.
Federal legislation advanced in both houses of Congress on Friday that would halt the pending closure of 149 air traffic control towers nationwide — including those in Punta Gorda and Naples.
The offices of Sen. Bill Nelson and Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida's Democratic and Republican senators, respectively, are co-sponsoring an unusually short and blunt Senate bill that would keep the towers operational beyond a June 15 shutdown target.
A parallel bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, co-sponsored by Rep. Tom Rooney, R-Okeechobee, whose district includes all of Charlotte County, is gathering momentum as well.
"If they get it passed, the towers are safe," said Gary Quill, director of the Charlotte County Airport Authority, which oversees Punta Gorda Airport.
Quill's airport also is one of a half dozen plaintiffs in a lawsuit organized by the Naples Municipal Airport against the Federal Aviation Administration that was filed in Washington's U.S. Court of Appeals earlier this month.
The FAA said in March that 149 air traffic control towers would shut down as a result of federal sequestration that will shave $85 billion from this year's budget.
But the FAA extended the deadline this month until mid-June, after it faced a series of lawsuits that challenged the closings on the grounds that the agency had not properly studied potential safety impacts.
"We consider that a first-round victory," said Ted Soliday, director of Naples Municipal Airport.
Soliday said there are now at least six such lawsuits nationwide that have been filed by more than 20 airports. The American Association of Airport Executives and an affiliate organization, the U.S. Contract Tower Association, also are seeking to halt the closures through litigation.
"These lawsuits against federal agencies are tough," said Spencer Dickerson, president of the airport executives group. "But we think we have the merits and standing, and we are going to try to stop it anyway we can, both litigation-wise but also on the Hill."
The lawsuits may be consolidated into a single case and heard in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California, Dickerson said. The matter is being discussed between the Justice Department and plaintiffs' attorneys, he said.
Joining the fight
As of Friday, the Senate bill to stop the closings had 25 co-sponsors, while the parallel House bill had 19.
"We are real happy that each of our senators has joined the fight now," Soliday said, of Nelson and Rubio. "We are trying to get the Florida representatives in the House to join the fight also."
The Moran-Blumenthal bill, as it is being called in the Senate, has as its primary co-sponsors Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., and Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan.
Nelson is a member of the Senate's Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, along with Blumenthal and Moran.
The bipartisan bill is brief and direct.
"Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration may not, during fiscal year 2013 or 2014, suspend or terminate the operation of any air traffic control tower in operation on March 1, 2013, without regard to whether the tower is operated by the Federal Aviation Administration or a contractor."
A second paragraph calls for resumption of operations at any towers that have been closed by the agency.
The FAA, faced with a mandate to trim its budget, originally prepared a list of 238 airports where tower funding would be cut. Most of them were contract tower operations, where the FAA pays private operators to staff towers. That list was later shaved to 149.
Both Punta Gorda Airport and Naples Municipal Airport use Robinson Aviation Inc., a Virginia-based firm that manages 96 towers at airports nationwide, to staff their facilities.
Naples' Soliday said Robinson has offered to operate the tower for about $816,000 annually.
Airports like Punta Gorda and Naples depend on air traffic controllers to keep safe distances between aircraft both on the ground and in the skies around airports.
During winter tourist season, both Naples and Punta Gorda airports have hundreds of flights a day coming in and going out.
Tower controllers use a combination of radar and their own eyesight to judge plane speeds and to keep traffic separated.
"The FAA needs to cut waste and utilize unspent accounts before threatening to close towers, hurt local economies and compromise traveler safety," Rep. Rooney said Friday.

Burda Top #135 2/2014
Added Jan 16, 2014
by kathhhhhy
United States , ...
This is from Burda Magazine, their new February 2014 issue. It's pattern #135. This shirt is a milder version of one of the many garments you can find in all of those Japanese draping books— most of which are sized for petite bodies or aren't ideal for my figure or lifestyle. Here we have a 3/4 length raglan sleeved top with a fun 'bag' or misplaced cowl-like drape on the front.
I used a rayon knit that's super drapey and so soft. You can see how I graded the pattern to fit me and more photos on my blog Kathy Sews.
I have a tutorial here on how to make the drape in front. It includes how to grade out for larger waist/hips beyond the sizes offered in the pattern.
I have a tutorial here on how to lengthen the top as well since it does run quite short in back.

The historic shift in criminal justice philosophy by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama's administration reflects the direction in which state and federal prosecutors in Shelby County already have been heading for several years.
The county's top prosecutors say that is the result of their cooperative efforts to battle crime more strategically in recent years.
"The statistics show we can't lock our way up out of the criminal element that we have here," U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton said on the WKNO-TV program "Behind The Headlines." "Before making those charging decisions … we're sitting down and looking to see which individual we should take on the state side, on the federal side."
The program is hosted by Eric Barnes, publisher of The Daily News.
Holder made that process more formal for federal prosecutors across the country this month, with new guidelines that emphasize reserving charges for federal crimes that carry mandatory minimum sentences for violent, career criminal defendants and for crimes involving gangs.
For non-violent offenders, the alternative is charges that allow for diversion or treatment programs or for re-entry court programs in which their release from prison comes with recovery programs.
Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said her office is already using that approach.
"The low-level drug offenders … those are the ones we prosecute," she said on the program. "Even on the state side, we are not locking up low-level drug offenders for years and years and years in the penal farm or the Tennessee Department of Corrections. A lot of those are on diversion or given misdemeanor citations and paying a fine and run through the system."
It is a change from the way prosecution decisions were made when Weirich, a career prosecutor, began in the early 1990s.
"When I started as a prosecutor 22 years ago, our office was basically enforcement and that was it," she said. "Now you see the work we do on a daily basis focused just as much in the areas of prevention and intervention. We are not going to arrest and prosecute our way out."
There also is a shift in the use of federal firearms charges, specifically those against felons, who are forbidden from having guns once they are released from prison. The cases are still being made, but Weirich said changes in state law mean they are also being made in state courts.
"It used to be that some of the worst of the worst always went federal because that is where we could get the tougher sentencing," she said. "Our state laws have caught up a lot in the last couple of years. Now there's a good mix of the pile that goes stateside being bigger than it would have been."
The prosecutors in Stanton's office are part of re-entry court proceedings for federal offenders who, after being released from prison, report regularly to a group that includes the judge who sentenced them to prison.
"The offenders – they actually have some skin in the game. It's voluntary. It's something they sign up for," Stanton said. "It's something that is not for everyone. Obviously the more violent offenders and those that have a longer criminal history – it's typically something they are not eligible for."
Drug offenders at the Shelby County Corrections Center have access to a drug-treatment program that is so successful there is a long waiting list to get into it. It is so long, Weirich said, that some offenders serve their time before they could start the program.
For other programs at the state level that involve post-release programs, Weirich said, there is some resistance from offenders.
"What's been one of the challenges is getting the offenders to want to participate in that program," she said. "So often the response is, 'I just want to flatten my time. I don't want to be on paper.' The mentality being, 'Just let me stay in prison a little bit longer. But I don't want to be part of that program. I don't want anybody watching what I do, even if it means I get out sooner.' That's a philosophy change that has to occur, and I don't know how you go about that."

Hi there everyone!
Don't know who's going to read this but someone will. I am going to explain where I have been for the last several months when I haven't been in the chat room.
I have been spending most of my time while being at home in Second Life.
Second life is an amazing 3 dimensional chat platform where you create an avatar of yourself in whatever shape, form, species, color..you name it. Or you can try to recreate your actual self! There are 'islands' (called 'sims') where anything is possible. There are areas that are devoted to Star Trek, Star Wars, Avatar (where I've been spending my time), Victorian, Medieval, Gor (yes everyones heard about that aspect) Steampunk, Mermaids, Fantasy..if you've read it, someone may have made a sim to play there. And yes, there is even a Babylon 5 sim, I've been there. There are recreations of famous historical landmarks and buildings, museums... ::catching breath:: sorry getting carried away.
You can fly, teleport, jump as high as you want, run even be a dragon...! hmmm? The group I'm with is expanding our main hub area to create a more space station look which could also be used and visited by us. I've been helping to create a hydroponics and bio lab area that is just incredibly exciting!
It is a limitless playground for people to create, explore, discuss and even listen to live performers! There is a theater company, a musicians group, businesses and art galleries.
The catch to Second Life is... computer power. A fairly fast processor is needed in order to be able to show the graphics. There is an SL Wiki page where they explain everything that is needed to be able to connect and enjoy Second Life.
To this end:
I have an opportunity to recreate a version of the OWC chat room in Second Life. Yes folks, we could finally actually sit down in a virtual room for chats like we've always imagined. Iggy and Pit Thang can be there as well as the Squid Launcher. I have friends in SL that can help me achieve this dream. And you know what? IT'S ABSOLUTELY FREE!
This is also an opportunity to create an OWC group on SL to bring in hundreds of other sci fi geeks and readers, movie buffs and old farts like us. We have the ability to screen who can join, and even have an EJECT button in the room to remove anyone who pops in unannounced.
So, I have a piece of land and a building that a friend has said I can use for free. I am drawing up a rough floor plan and design incorporating everything that I remember from our chats as far back as AOL that I can remember. We can have a board that connects to the website and our google chat calendar and maybe even a facebook page for the group... the connections are limitless on what we can do.
(Oh and there's a building across the street from this site that has gargoyle's on pillars guarding the neighbors gated entrance...nice touch)
If anyone wants to try it out and see what SL is like, PLEASE contact me FIRST! It can be very confusing for a first time visitor and having someone to guide you through the steps is helpful. They provide an area where everyone first 'lands' when they log on but it is usually crowded and 'laggy'. Having an experienced person that isn't hired to deal with new people (newbies) is much better and... if you have voice capability it is much easier too. I've helped a number of new people in my group as our 'Concierge'.
If anyone wants to check it out without actually going there, I'm sure the wiki page has plenty of images.
(For CeeJay this could also be a venue for your friend to display his artwork and reach an international viewer base!)
It does cost SL money (called Lindens after the creators) if we wanted to create an actual group for people to join. But... it is a one time cost and I have the ability to do that as well (luckily the USD rate exchange to Lindens is extremely low, pennies on the Linden dollar you can be a millionaire in SL for under $20).
I would really like to see the group reach a much bigger audience and bring in more people from all over the world.
I am very excited to present this idea to everyone. I see a potential for our group to expand with new members and see a resurgence in chats through a new venue that hasn't been seen since the beginning in AOL. We can move forward with the technology as it expands and create a presence on the platform of virtual reality.
::deep breath::
Thank you for your kind attention.

WWE superstar Cameron is ADAMANT -- she did not drive her car while sloshed on martinis outside the Tampa airport ... pleading not guilty to DUI today.
As we previously reported, Cameron -- real name Ariane Andrew -- was arrested back in August on suspicion of DUI. The police report said Cameron was traveling with a male passenger who told cops they had been drinking martinis before getting in the car.
The report says Cameron blew a .20 ... more than twice the legal limit in Florida.
The report also says the WWE diva allegedly offered cops a $10,000 bribe to let her go ... which clearly didn't pan out.
A pre-trial hearing is set for October 23.

ATLANTA -- Sometimes a couple of excellent matches can cover up for some head-scratching moments on the rest of a wrestling card, even if that card happens to be the industry's biggest show of the year.
That was certainly the case Sunday night at WrestleMania XXVII. Though it's never good when a crowd of over 71,000 fans goes quiet during the main event or a carefully built up match like the one between Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, one got the impression that most of those fans went home satisfied thanks to two bouts that showcased equal parts emotion and action.
The high point of the show was unquestionably the much anticipated meeting between The Undertaker and Triple H. The two veterans haven't wrestled much in recent months, but they wasted little time tearing into each other with the Dead Man's 18-0 WrestleMania mark on the line.
Both men pulled out all of the stops. The Undertaker rose to the moment as he always does, maybe a half-step slower but still able to pull off signature moves like his dive over the top rope to the floor.
Triple H hit his foe with everything but the kitchen sink and couldn't get the three count. His incredulous look was instantly recognizable and completely believable.
The finish was pro wrestling drama at it's best, making fans believe either man could win. Triple H looked like he could pull it off twice -- once after connecting with Undertaker's own Tombstone finisher, and again when his trusty sledgehammer was within reach -- but eventually was forced to tap out, keeping The Streak alive and bringing appreciative applause for both grapplers.
Randy Orton's victory over CM Punk was also full of things wrestling purists enjoy. It was the culmination of a lengthy feud (Punk's beef with Orton stretches back about two years) and featured two performers who are throwbacks in the very best sense of the word.
Orton and Punk told the story of their match using their faces as well as their bodies. It's a rare gift among the current group of WWE Superstars, but it shined through for these two on Sunday night.
For the battle of the announcers, it was a lengthy sequence of offense for Cole that took the air out of the crowd. He's not a wrestler, of course, and it showed during that spell when the arena got strangely silent.
The intervention of Stone Cold Steve Austin perked things back up in a hurry. But Cole's eventual DQ win was a downer, and it really only made sense if the "Voice of the WWE" is going to continue in his blatantly heel role going forward.
Miz and Cena were simply overshadowed by The Rock, a definite risk any time he's involved. Though he wasn't offically slated to be involved with the main event, smart money said he was going to inject himself into the proceedings at some point.
He kept the match from ending in a disappointing double countout, which was a definite plus. Unfortunately, The Rock also got over on the champ and the challenger before the show ended, potentially weakening them both in the eyes of the fans.
At least The Rock dropping Cena and Miz sent everyone home on a high note. It remains to be seen if the full time actor is going to stick around long enough to keep interacting with either man.
If he does, it would make up for what the main event lacked when it happened, the same way the peaks in Sunday's show made up for the valleys.

This piece is good for a military movie – a heroic and encouraging mood makes it perfect to describe something pathetic – a return of a soldier, a defense breakthrough, a successful operation, victory, etc. On the other hand, this music can be used for backgrounding a patriotic speech. Instruments: full orchestra with a drumline.
P.S. Due to the fact, that in my country the 9th of May is the Day of Victory, I dedicate this very piece to my great-grandfathers, who died in the World War 2, defending the homeland.

TSA pushes nationwide changes to airport security
The Transportation Security Administration released a 25-page report to Congress on Wednesday that includes 14 recommendations to improve airport security after a nationwide review prompted by last year's fatal shooting at Los Angeles International Airport. Authorities say a gunman targeted TSA officers in his attack, which resulted in the agency's first line-of-duty death. Two other officers and a passenger were wounded.
Some of TSA's recommendations:
—Require armed law enforcement officers at security checkpoints and ticket counters during peak hours.
—Make active shooter training and exercises for TSA officers mandatory; airports should also conduct twice yearly active shooter training and exercises.
—TSA supervisors should mention emergency procedures to staff at the beginning of each shift and have evacuation drills twice a year.
—Provide automatic notification to federal air marshals when there's an active shooter; most were notified by phone about the LAX shooting.
—Require weekly testing of panic alarms at airports, add more alarms if necessary, and have the alarms link to security cameras.
—Ensure all TSA wireless devices are programmed with the local airport's emergency numbers. AP reported that 911 calls at LAX on Nov. 1 weren't routed to the airport police.
—Extend deployment of special teams of air marshals, baggage inspectors and others who conduct random security sweeps.
—Require airport security plans to state how long it should take police to get to a security checkpoint when an officer isn't stationed there. The review discovered that 71 airports without officers stationed at checkpoints didn't state a required maximum response time.
TSA considered and dismissed several other changes, including creating an armed unit of TSA officers, allowing them to carry personal cellphones on their belts, issuing bulletproof vests, and assigning federal air marshals to checkpoints at major airports.
The agency also has decided not to pursue installing ballistic protection for the stands where officers check travelers' documents, or putting Kevlar panels, shatterproof glass, ballistic blankets or clear body shields at checkpoints. It also found that adding deafening alarms or strobe lights would incapacitate responders as well as any attacker.

Wheaton College Sports Information
NORTON, Mass. - The top-seeded MIT men's tennis team won its eighth New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament championship in the league's eight-year history following Saturday's 4-1 finals victory at No. 2 Wheaton College.
The No. 17 nationally-ranked Engineers improved to 12-2 overall. Wheaton, which became the first team to score against MIT in tournament competition, entered the match ranked 25th in the country and fell to 11-6. The Engineers are 16-0 in tournament play and have outscored those teams by a 68-1 margin.
Meeting the Lyons in the conference tournament final for the second straight season and third time since 2000, MIT took the doubles point by securing 8-3 and 8-5 wins in the first and third slots, respectively. Evan Tindell and Thomas Dohlman were victorious in the top slot, while Said Francis and Jonathan Farm won at No. 3. Wheaton's Brian Danishevsky and Brad Dressler held a narrow 8-7 edge over Mark Egan and Eric Beren at second doubles but didn't finish due to the doubles point already being decided.
In singles play, the Engineers posted victories in the first, third and sixth slots to clinch the overall team title. Tindell secured a 6-4, 6-4 win against Payum Payman at one, Beren defeated Matt Sheers 6-1, 6-0 at three, and Melvin Makhni registered a 6-2, 6-4 triumph over Nick Potter.
Danishevsky became the first player to take a point from the conference power with a 6-1, 6-2 final against Egan. Wheaton nearly captured two additional points before MIT won the team title by decision. Dressler opened his match in the fifth position with a 6-1 win in the first set and was serving match point in the second against Peden Nichols. Sean Daly won his opening set versus Thomas Dohlman and held a 5-4 lead.

Aligning IT with business goals is yesterday's crusade. It has been overtaken by the new imperative of shaping business strategy. Smart CIOs are focusing on building stronger relationships with boardroom peers in order to fulfil this goal.
In particular a strong axis with the old enemy, HR, could prove to be the key to delivering business wins and ensuring the organisational 'supply chain' remains healthy.
Ben Booth, the new chairman of the British Computer Society's group for CIOs, Elite, recognises the role relationships play in the new agenda. "They are absolutely crucial. There used to be this assumption business would come up with a strategy and our job was to deliver against it. An awful lot of business is not so clearly formalised. It's about finding out what is going on and how IT can contribute. And that depends on personal contact."
The new order will see different people rising to the top, says Booth. "Some will continue to nurse back-room technology while others will reappraise their roles."
Good contacts with the head of each business unit will be essential to influencing business strategy while communication within the internal supply chain namely, finance and HR, are a given, he says.
Strange bedfellows
At first sight, IT and HR may not seem easy companions. "The CIO's view of HR is typically that it is a value-free zone that they have to deal with because of company procedure," says Ade McCormack, a consultant who specialises in educating blue-chip companies in IT matters. For its part, HR has often reacted by relegating IT recruitment to the lowliest member of its team.
A strong alliance with the 'people person' director could strengthen the CIO's hand in a number of ways, not least in ensuring the best IT people are hired for the department. With the IT recruitment market heating up, many IT staff are walking away because they feel they have been abused for the last three years.
"The IT director needs to coach the HR department to get them up to speed," says McCormack, who encourages them to roll up their sleeves and help write job specs and involve HR at the highest level.
There are other reasons why there should be a shared empathy between these two embattled departments. "Our roles are very similar. We both provide services to the business and are a cost base to the business. Crucially, we are very important customers of each other," says Jan Hutchinson, HR director at the Ordnance Survey.
Their interdependence stems from the fact HR relies on the systems that IT builds, while IT looks to HR to hire and retain the best people.
Improved communication
The shared model could provide the basis for better communication.
"IT people tend to approach issues in a logical and disciplined way, so they'll want to fully scope a project in order to be able to deliver against a detailed specification," says Hutchinson.
HR likes to be similarly disciplined, she explains and so if her CIO wants to bypass one of their procedures, she sometimes has to put the boot on the other foot and ask 'so it's OK for me to go out and buy any system I want then?' As well as being internal service providers and costs to the business, both functions are newcomers to the board.
"They're the new kids on the block who have often come up through the professional route and lack a business or strategic focus," says Gordon MacKenzie, director and founder of Performance First.
He says: "The outcome of this is the old guard of sales, marketing and finance see them as junior members."
IT on the board
Other external factors are forcing the IT director to connect with their internal supply chain. The introduction of more stringent regulations governing compliance means more IT directors are sitting with the CEO up in the boardroom.
"Shell and Enron are the greatest things that have happened to the IT director," says McCormack. Compliance and the risk of financial liability are pushing CIOs into closer relationships with their finance director.
IT has frequently played a subservient role to finance and it is still common for many CIOs to report to the FD rather than the CEO.
The relationship is coloured by the fact that IT requires significant investment yet has a track record of having difficulty in proving value to the company.
"FDs are desperate to get everything on a spread sheet and to express it in pounds and pence. But things such as user satisfaction are difficult to capture. Ideally the FD wants a metric so he can feel he's in control, but an absolute metric is hokum," says McCormack.
The legacy of dot-com
The natural mistrust is compounded by the three years of pain that many FDs have felt since the dot-com crash. "There's a great deal of mistrust between the two," says McCormack. However they must patch up their differences to deliver in the new world order.
The board wants the FD to get the CIO to deliver more value who, in turn, has to work through HR to achieve this. Contrary to popular belief CIOs have the relationships and soft skills so necessary to creating a seamless supply chain and building business. The sticking point has been in getting them to recognise that they deliver business value and influence."
"CIOs can be quite task-focused and introverted in their approach. It's not so much a case that they find relationships difficult, rather that they believe them to be unnecessary," says MacKenzie.
However the more that CIOs play on the bigger business stage, the quicker they realise the value of relationships as Mike Portlock, former global CIO of British Imperial and Vestey Group, testifies.
"I communicated through a great deal of travel and face-to-face communication. I pushed myself to understand what the business was trying to do and how IT could help, rather than worrying about the internal development of IT systems. I spent a lot of time on planes."

Hello, I am currently a 1L at Widener Law in Delaware (T4). I am currently ranked in the top 10 out of 250 in my class. I wanted to know if anyone knows the chances of transferring to a T1 or T2. I live in Philadelphia and I am considering Temple, Villanova and Rutgers Camden. I am also going to send in transfer applications to UPenn, NYU, Cornell, Columbia, and GTown. I do not believe I will get into any of the T12 schools, but I think I have a good shot at the other three. If anyone has anyone knows anything about my chances of getting into any of these schools it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
...but I personally dont care about tge rankings.

A while back we were encouraged to post about the nicest thing another blogger had done for us. At the time, I didn't submit a post - not because I haven't been the recipient of any kind gestures her in the blogosphere, because I have - but simply because at that time, I was having a hard time recalling each and every incident of kindness that had been shown me, and I didn't want to slight anyone by just posting about what I could recall. However, today another blogger has gone the extra mile for me, by reaching out to assist me in overcoming a technical difficulty that I just happened to mention in a comment I made on her blog, so I've decided to thank her, publicly!
A few days ago, I visited Before My Time. I don't remember how or why I came across this blog, but while there, I noticed that the writer, "TK", was using Blogger, and that her wonderful video tributes to her Auntie Marceline were posted directly on her blog, something I had tried every which way (except the right way...lol) to do a couple of weeks ago when I posted my Sentimental Sunday - A Musical Tribute. Well, just as a result of my mentioning that I'd tried to do that, TK went out on an limb and sent me a private email with her phone number and an offer to explain to me just how she'd done it. She even offered to make the long distance call herself, if I wanted to send her my number. Wasn't that nice?
I received this email from TK earlier today, just as I was about to go out, so I wrote back and told her I'd give it one more try later in the day, and if it didn't work, I'd call her. So, that's exactly what I did. Needless to say, my attempts to post the video still didn't work, so I called TK, and within just a few quick minutes, she'd walked me through the necessary steps, and the video was on my blog!
The solution was a simple one, but it was one of those things you just had to "know" how to do. :) So, KUDOS, to TK for being a great new blog-friend, and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
(And just to show off my new skills, here it is again!)
Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (9/22/12)—It's been 25 years in the making. Concordia erased two decades of home losses to St. John's as they dominated the Johnnies for three quarters of play and went on to win 31-21.
The last time the Cobbers beat the Johnnies in Moorhead was in 1986 when current CC head coach Terry Horan was on the field as a wide receiver. The 25-year dry spell was finally ended with a huge mix of defense and another solid performance from the Concordia offensive line and the entire rushing attack. And oh yeah, the Brett Baune Wrecking Ball Tour continued to gather speed as he ran the ball 32 times, gained 126 yards on the ground and scored two of the team's four TD's. He has now rushed for at least 100 yards in three straight games and has 599 rushing yards on the year. In addition, his two TD's give him five on the season and move him to within eight of breaking Horan's all-time career TD record.
The 10-point win over SJU was also the first time that Concordia has posted a double-digit win over the Johnnies since the 1988 season.
Concordia is now 4-0 in all games and 2-0 in conference play. The last time the Cobbers started a year with four straight wins was 2005. St. John's loses for the second straight week and is now 2-2 overall and 0-2 in the MIAC.
As impressive as Baune has been in the first four weeks of play, the Cobber defense once again proved they were the most underrated unit in the league. Concordia limited the St. John's offense to just 152 total yards through three quarters of play. In addition to not allowing the Johnnie offense to move the ball, the Cobbers also came up with four turnovers – including the pivotal moment of the game in the final minute of play in the first half when senior defensive back Kenyon O'Brien stripped the ball from a St. John's wide receiver and linebacker Peter Hvidston scooped up the ball and ran it back to the St. John's 15-yard line. Concordia scored on the very next play and suddenly a 17-7 nail biter turned into a comfortable 24-7 halftime lead.
In the end, the CC defense allowed only 26 rushing yards. St. John's was able to gain 215 yards in the fourth quarter after the outcome had already been determined.
The Cobber offense put up 347 total yards on the day. CC had 251 rushing yards and threw for 96 more. In addition to Baune's 126 yards on the ground, Matt Peterson carried six times and gained 99 yards. He was involved in the longest Concordia play from scrimmage when he rambled 67 yards on the very first play of the game. "That play really set the tone for the game," commented Baune. "We knew we could have success against their defense after that play."
Chris Gilson and Mark Whiting came away with the other touchdowns for Concordia. Gilson topped off the first possession of the game when he ran around the left end over from 1-yard out. Whiting was the recipient of a 15-yard TD pass from Griffin Neal. That TD pass came right at the end of the first half.
Neal wound up throwing for 96 yards while completing seven of his 13 attempts. He had two interceptions in the second half when the game was out of reach.
Cobber kicker Ben Wagner continued his perfect extra point attack in 2012. Wagner was 4-for-4 on PAT's on Saturday and has now made all 19 of his extra points on the year. He also connected on a 19-yard field goal in the second quarter.
It was a total team defensive effort for Concordia. The Cobbers had four different players with 5.0 total tackles on the day and had three players record 1.0 sacks. Jordan Doschadis had 5.0 tackles and 1.0 sacks. O'Brien also had 5.0 tackles to go along with the one forced fumble. Paul Streich and Hvidston also had 5.0 tackles and nose guard Mark Wychor came away with two forced fumbles.
Concordia will have a two-week break before their next game. After resting through next weekend's bye, the Cobbers will resume play when they square off against nationally-ranked Bethel in Arden Hills on Saturday, Oct. 6.
A Long Time Coming
|St. John's (2-2)
|No. 22 Concordia-Moorhead (4-0)
MOORHEAD, Minn. (9/22/12)—It's been 25 years in the making. Concordia erased two decades of home losses to St. John's as they dominated the Johnnies for three quarters of play and went on to win 31-21.

Pressure Mounts Against Telcos To 'Fess Up About Their Involvement In NSA Surveillance
from the open-up dept
On the other side, you've got the telcos -- mainly AT&T and Verizon (but Sprint and some others as well). What do you have there? Total, deafening silence. Seriously. They've said nothing about any of this, despite increasing evidence that they not only are happy and willing participants in the NSA's efforts to spy on everyone, but that they've volunteered to hand over more data than required. Furthermore, it's quite clear now that they've basically let the NSA put taps directly on the internet backbone, by which they can record just about anything, while the internet companies have (from all appearances to date) limited information sharing only to a specific segment of information following a specific court order (which probably doesn't have enough oversight, but that's a different issue).
The contrast here is really striking. From all revealed info to date, the telcos' info sharing with the government is much more massive and has significantly more privacy implications than anything done by the internet companies. And yet it's the internet companies that are both speaking out against this and challenging some of it legally (though some of us still think they should go further -- but, thankfully, we've been hearing significant and credible buzz that much more is on the way). The telcos? Absolutely nothing. Well, except for a Verizon VP mocking the internet companies for pushing for transparency.
Otherwise? Dead silence.
When the internet companies reached out to the telcos about co-signing their letter to the government pushing for more surveillance, the telcos refused. Over the last few months, we've seen pretty much every major internet company release a transparency report, including showing at least some data on government requests for info. The telcos have never released such a thing.
Kevin Bankston, who was instrumental in helping to coordinate that original letter, is now calling out the telcos on their shameful silence. It seems that the telcos are hoping this whole thing blows over, in part because a true transparency report from them would likely reveal just how complicit the telcos were in handing over your private info to governments, often with little to no oversight. In fact, Bankston notes that AT&T has been quietly lobbying against legislative efforts to increase transparency.
What are the telcos afraid of? The answer is pretty obvious.
However, they might not be able to wait this out and hide forever. The ACLU of Northern California has now filed a shareholder proposal with both At&T and Verizon demanding that they file a transparency report concerning their cooperation with government surveillance.
Customer trust is critical for any business, but especially for Internet and telecommunications companies that gather personal data concerning and affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the U.S. and around the world. In an effort to help rebuild consumer trust, major Internet companies including Google, Microsoft, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Yahoo! have issued transparency reports with information on government requests; AT&T and Verizon have not. Companies, including Google and Microsoft, have also filed in court seeking authorization to disclose further information to the public; AT&T and Verizon have not.Of course, thanks to other bad government policies, AT&T and Verizon have market dominant positions, such that there's often no actual customer choice -- which is part of why they can get away with this silence. Hopefully shareholders of both companies will stand up and make those companies reveal some basic transparency, even if it will embarrass the two companies. And, if they're really embarrassed by what the data will show, perhaps that's a sign that they shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Privacy is fundamental to democracy and free expression -- and transparency is essential if individuals and businesses are to make informed decisions regarding their personal information. AT&T and Verizon must comply with legal obligations imposed by the Patriot Act and other laws. But these companies have no good excuse for staying silent and failing to provide information about how often customer information is being shared with the government. To the contrary, staying silent as other industry leaders release transparency reports and take steps to reinforce a genuine commitment to privacy, makes it appear that these companies have something to hide and presents serious financial and reputational risks. Consumers prefer companies whose information practices they know and can trust. It is already estimated that the risks of surveillance and lack of trust could cost the U.S cloud computing industry $21 billion to $35 billion in foreign business over the next three years. The Chief Privacy Officers at AT&T and Verizon have praised transparency as a goal, but it is time to back up those statements with action by releasing transparency reports.

Stay flexible: The new item components for interlinking work benches
Today, flexible, cost-effective and ergonomic work benches are more important than ever in the value-added chain. The new item components for equipping and interlinking work benches are both modern and versatile. And a solid investment for the future!
Transfer workpieces manually from bench to bench on roller conveyors or slide strips, castor balls or brushes. Connecting work benches together couldn't be easier, and the ease with which functional elements can be changed over maximises flexibility at all times.
Extraordinarily flexible – Interlinking work benches with the new item castor rails.
The modular Castor Rail 8 40x40 is the foundation of a new system solution for interlinking work benches and moving goods. The grooves in item profiles 5 and 8 ensure that the Castor Rails can be easily connected and fastened to standard elements. A wide range of inserts are available, all designed to make the manual transportation of goods and workpiece carriers as gentle and efficient as possible – and each and every element fits into the same universal Castor Rail!
Inserts range from coloured castors for KanBan identification and Brush Inserts for exceptionally gentle workpiece conveying, to Castor Ball Inserts and Slide Strips. The item Castor Rail can be customized to meet the specific requirements of the planner. Complete roller conveyor systems are also available from the warehouse for particularly rapid deployment. And, of course, item has also responded to the call for electrostatically dissipative components – ESD-safe inserts are available and many elements are designed with protection against electrostatic build-up.
Brushes and castor balls can also be used as inserts for table tops, thus enabling a smooth transition from castor rail to work surface. A railing at the side of the Castor Rail provides additional support and precision – and can be made exceptionally low-friction and dissipative using Slide Strips.

My heart sung with joy when I watched the pilot of 'Mohawk Girls' on APTN. Finally there was a show that had Native women in it that was dealing with issues that I could relate to, with characters I could identify with. It was about a 2 year wait between the broadcast of that initial pilot and the news that came last night that the show is greenlit, but who cares? I am glad it's finally happening! OMNI Television and APTN will broadcast the six-part series, which is produced by Montreal based Rezolution Pictures. The pilot for Mohawk Girls was … Continued

new zines to the cataloge
Keep Track: Pocket Calender
This is my little calender. It should be out by Dec 15! Fits in your pocket! You write in the dates. There are two pages for each month, then four pages for notes between months. Perfect for if the Slingshot calender has too much space for you.
All I Want is Everything #1
Well written, articulate personal/feminist zine. The first article is about getting out of a long-term abusive relationship. There are articles about victim blaming, refusing to live in the past, pop culture, and much more. It's really good!
Love Letters to Monsters #3 / Alabama Grrrl #9 split
I haven't even finished this yet, but it is my favorite loveletters zine so far, and I'm so excited about Alabama Grrrl too!
Ciara's side is more memoir like than usual, still political, but not as much indignation. The first story is partially about her mom. I have a number of friends who's mom's are homeless or close to homeless, kind of crazy or really crazy, and there is something so confusing about mothers needing care, and when to draw the line. I struggled with it a lot with my mom, and felt so alone. I am always really grateful when people get the courage to write about their complicated relationships like this.
She writes about community and how overused that word is, and wanting laughter. writing, mental and physical health, running a distro. It's like a long story. It's good.
Alabama Grrrl is about being queer and punk in the late 90's in Pittsburgh, "Things I wished I would've known before going to grad school," a love-letter breakup letter to the violent/misogynistic scene that is happening in her town, hoping it will energize new kids to create a safer place.
Cometbus #51 The Lonliness of the Electric Menorah
A story about two bookstores in Berkeley that were started in the underground in the 60's, and we were forever trying to get our zines into. Why didn't they support us? It was strange.
This zine is almost like a fable, and is about a lot more than just these two bookstores. It's about how partnerships come together and how they get subverted. Based on long interviews with a zillion people.
Cometbus #52 The Spirit of St Louis
a story of a group of punks, how they try to make or unmake a life and scene. It's second title is "How to Break Your Own Heart, a tragedy in 24 parts.
Kerbloom 85These little pretty zines have been coming out forever, every two months. They are done on letterpress, which is the kind of printing press where you have to put each letter in one at a time.
This is my favorite one in awhile. "I would say that each of us is a star, that we form constellations, and that these constellations change."

Hi Cindy! I run Fight Boredom Distro based in Montreal and I was wondering if perhaps I'd be able to distro a few issues of Doris? And if so, how I'd go about ordering them at a wholesale rate. I've only been able to find a snail mail address for you, and no email, so hopefully you'll see this. Cheers!

Hi Amber. There's a little wholesale button on the top of the dorisdorisdoris.com website, that has some info.
Basically, the zines are 1.20 each, the Anthology is 7.20, but for Canadian orders, there is extra for postage. You can email me at email@example.com, and let me know what you're wanting to order and I'll let you know the total cost, including postage.
Your zine sounds so familiar, but I can't remember if I've ever seen it. I'd love to see a copy!

Edberg was knocked out of the top 45 which qualified for this week's Dubai Festival City Challenge Tour Grand Final hosted by Al Badia Golf Club in the penultimate event of the season in Oman last week, therefore losing out on exemption for next week's six-round Final Stage at PGA Catalunya Resort.
But he put that late disappointment behind him as he carded a six under par 66 in Valencia to take a one-shot lead over Italy's Niccolo Quintarelli.
Promising South African Brandon Stone shared the overnight lead at Las Colinas Golf and Country Club on seven under par, alongside Englishman James Heath and Guillaume Cambis of France.
Chris Hanson of England and Austrian Lukas Nemecz share the lead at Lumine Golf and Beach Club after both signing for seven under par rounds of 64, while Sweden's Pontus Widegren leads the way in Valle Romano thanks to a seven under par round of 64.

Ball State comes under scrutiny for hiring professor who wrote book on intelligent design
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Ball State University in Indiana is facing scrutiny for hiring a science professor who wrote a book on intelligent design, a move that comes after another professor at the state college was accused of teaching creationism.
Ball State defended the hiring of Guillermo Gonzalez and said it does not support the teaching intelligent design in science classes. Proponents of intelligent design contend life is too complex to have evolved through evolution alone.
"This is a disturbing pattern and it could be a serious blow to the science curriculum at Ball State," said Andrew Seidel, attorney for the Freedom from Religion Foundation, a group from Madison, Wis., that promotes separation of church and state. "Their reputation is on the line."
Gonzalez gained notoriety in 2004 when his book about intelligent design, "The Privileged Planet: How Our Place in the Cosmos is Designed for Discovery," was published. He was later denied tenure at Iowa State University.
Ball State spokeswoman Joan Todd said the university offered Gonzalez a job on June 12 as a tenure-track assistant professor of astronomy to teach in the department of physics and astronomy. Gonzalez will teach undergraduate and graduate courses in physics and astronomy, starting with introductory level astronomy courses in the fall semester at the state university in Muncie, about 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis, she said.
The hiring was approved by dean, provost, and university president, which is normal university procedure, Todd said.
The hiring comes after Freedom From Religion wrote the university in May complaining that Eric Hedin, an assistant professor of physics, was teaching an honors course exploring the nature of the universe that it contended was actually religion disguised as science. The university announced last month it had appointed a review panel to investigate the allegations. Provost Terry King has received the panel's report, reviewed it with Hedin, and is determining what to do next, Todd said.
Robert Kreiser, senior program officer for the American Association of University Professors, said he found it surprising that a university would have two cases that appear similar in such a short span, although he said he doesn't know what discussions went on in each instance.
The Gonzalez hiring appears to pit professional competence against academic freedom, Kreiser said.
"He has the freedom to carry out the research that he judges to be appropriate, but his colleagues have the freedom as well, and indeed the responsibility, to assess his research in terms of norms of the profession," Kreiser said.
Gonzalez declined a request for an interview Tuesday, but in an email he said he never taught intelligent design at a university. He later released a statement through the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based, proponent of intelligent design, saying he plans to continue research on astrobiology and stellar astrophysics and will not be discuss intelligent design in his classes.
"In my opinion, the controversy surrounding my hire is artificial — largely generated by one activist blogger who is not an astronomer. Lastly, I need to reiterate that I was denied tenure at ISU not because of poor academics on my part, but for idealogical and political reasons," he wrote.
Critics contend Gonzalez book isn't based on science and more than 120 Iowa State faculty members signed a petition renouncing it.
Todd said Ball State University agrees that intelligent design is not appropriate for science courses, "although it might find its place in appropriate classes and contexts including — but not limited to — religion and philosophy courses," she said.
Jerry Coyne, an ecology and evolution professor at the University of Chicago who said he first complained to Ball State about Hedin's class, said during an interview Tuesday that he doesn't think either Hedin or Gonzalez should lose their jobs.
"I just think they need to keep religion out of science class. That's my only mission," he said.

The sad and unfortunate state of affairs is that traffic accidents are so common they just aren't considered news generally unless someone dies and or there is freeway congestion to plan commutes around. Even then, coverage is generally a token sound byte more akin to is it going to rain outside. Reporting on all the traffic accidents effecting cyclists in Los Angeles is beyond the scope of this blog, but I thought I would report on the recent hit-and-run case in Santa Monica at Arizona Avenue and 20th Street on Saturday the 17, since that is only blocks away from where I live.
This case probably would have disappeared into the abyss of traffic statistics if it were not for the victim being loosely connected to a famous individual who was willing to put up a $10,000 reward to find the hit and run driver. The victim, 33 year old Daniel Seeck, hospitalized with critical injuries, was the cousin of the co-manager of Ty Pennington (from some ABC show called Extreme Makeover). Details are loose, but a red SUV was spotted near the scene apparently. If you see a vehicle around with a large dents, scratches or possibly a broken windshield, you may have found a clue worth a lot of money, but most importantly, justice. My guess is by now any damage to the vehicle has been repaired or is in the shop, but be on the look out for anything suspicious and if you know this person, please turn them in, or if you are that person, do the right thing and turn your self in.
An important lesson to take from this incident as a cyclist, is the importance of safe riding. Seeck was at least partially negligent in this case due to a blood alcohol level and lack of lights while night riding. From a statistical stand point riding late after a few drinks with no lights is serious bad news, dangerous to one's health, and it diminishes your chances of finding the other party entirely liable even if they broke the law. Being hit from behind while a car is overtaking is rare (it is not clear in the details from which angle Seeck was hit), comprising 1.3% of all automobile and bicycle accidents. In 11% of those cases the motorist was drinking, but in 17% of those cases the cyclist was also drinking [Bicycling & The Law]. So don't drink and ride, or if you must, have front and rear lights (which you should have anyways), don't be a tipsy lightless person with a black hoodie no one can see, whom make up a significant chunk of all car on bike collisions.
However, in the event of an accident where someone is hit, it is a duty and an obligation, not a suggestion, for a motorist to stop and render aid to the victim(s), and to violate that duty is a serious crime, violated far too often. I think it is high time we started demanding higher standards for receiving a drivers license. The DMV test is more concerned with checking mirrors and parallel parking then the very serious duties and obligations a driver has in the event of an accident, as well as glossing over the whole bicycles on the road business. Equally important considering most car on bike accidents involve underage riders, I think we need to include mandatory traffic education in school as the Dutch have done.
My best wishes to Daniel Seeck on his path to recovery, and may the heartless driver be found and brought to justice. Anyone with information about the hit-and-run is urged to contact SMPD investigator Chris Dawson @ (310) 458-8427, or the We-Tip hotline at (800) 782-7463.
More details on the story can be found in this issue of the Santa Monica Daily Press, starting on the front page lower left corner.

Hi all,
My name is Kym and I live in Portland, Oregon. I have two dogs Gabby a labrador, Emma Shay a Boxer/kelpie mix and one cat Halo(permanent residents). I am blessed beyond words for them. They bring so much joy and love to my life.
I recently started fostering Sam, hes my first pit bull. I LOVE him. He is so sweet and loving. Loves to give hugs and kisses and he loves it when I carry him around on my hip like a baby. I am already dreading the day he has to leave.
I got involved with Pit Bull Rescue I think kinda backwards. In public, My Boxer/mix is mistaken for a Pit Bull which was not a big deal until I stumbled onto a BSL yahoo group. I realized My Emma would be in danger if BSL came to my area. Luckily it hasn't, but I am ready for the biggest fight of my life if it does. I've become very educated about BSL and therefore I felt it a requirement to learn as much about Pits as I could. I am no expert by any means. I am not even close. but I do know enough to change peoples perceptions and educate them.
Emma & Sam

Corinthians star Paulinho, who is rumoured to be on the radar of both Paris Saint-Germain and Inter, has reaffirmed his commitment to the Brazilian outfit.
The defensive midfielder signed a new contract with his club until 2015 in September, and the 24-year-old reassured Timao fans that he will not be leaving.
"I want to stay here and play in Corinthians' new stadium. There has been a lot of speculation, but they have mostly been lies. When there was a proposal I spoke honestly about what was happening," Paulinho told ESPN Brazil.
"I talked with my wife about possibly moving to Inter. Initially, I liked the idea of going there, but the directors of Corinthians did all they could to keep me.
"It is important at certain times to think about money but other times you have to do what is best for you and your career."
Paulinho was strongly linked with Inter, but it was believed PSG have the inside track when Thiago Silva revealed that he was trying to convince the midfielder to move to France.
