Suzy Favor Hamilton, former U.S. Olympian, worked as Las Vegas escort
Suzy Favor Hamilton, a middle distance running three-time Olympian, former U.S. record holder and one of the most decorated NCAA track and field athletes in history, admitted on Thursday to leading a double life as a $600-an-hour escort out of Las Vegas.
On Thursday, Favor Hamilton took to her Twitter account to address a story first reported by "The Smoking Gun" website that detailed the married mother's double life as a Las Vegas call girl for a high-priced escort service.
"I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life," Favor Hamilton said in a series of tweets. "It provided an escape from a life that I was struggling in. It was a double life."
She said that she was drawn into the business after suffering from depression, adding that she is seeing a psychologist to help her get through the issues.
"I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression," she tweeted.
Favor Hamilton has been working as a motivational speaker and maintains a real estate business in Madison, Wis., with her husband, who apparently knew about the work, according to the Smoking Gun, and urged her to stop. By Thursday, the business's website had removed mentions of her name — including those in her husband's biography.
Operating under the alias "Kelly Lundy," she charged $600 for the first hour and $6,000 for a 24-hour stay, according to a copy of her profile. She would sometimes reveal her identity to her clients, the website said, a move that ultimately backfired after one leaked a story to The Smoking Gun. Favor Hamilton and her husband have a 7-year-old daughter.
The website said that several of Favor Hamilton's "tour stops" in other cities — including Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Chicago — were scheduled at the same time as her travels for the Disney and Rock 'n' Roll Marathon running series.
"We are shocked, embarrassed and deeply saddened by the recent reports that Suzy Favor Hamilton lived a double life as an escort," said Dan Cruz, spokesman for the Competitor Group, which organizes the marathon series. "Admittedly, this was a part of a secret life that she did not share with those, like us, that she worked with in her capacity as a former world-class athlete. There are no plans to continue any sort of appearance relationship with her speaking at our expos in the future."
Favor Hamilton, a Wisconsin native and University of Madison-Wisconsin graduate, competed but never medaled in the Olympics in 1992 in Barcelona, 1996 in Atlanta and 2000 in Sydney, where she fell to the track in the final 200 meters of the 1500 meter final. She once appeared in a Nike commercial featuring a chainsaw wielding, hockey-mask-wearing man that drew criticism for its perceived sexist message and violent imagery.
"I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am to anyone I have hurt as a result of my actions and greatly appreciate the support from family and those closest to me," she continued. "I fully intend to make amends and get back to being a good mother, wife, daughter, and friend."
She holds personal best of 1 minute, 58.10 seconds for the 800 meters, 4:22.93 for the mile and 15:06.48 for the 5000 meters. In her collegiate career, she won nine NCAA titles before winning three USA Outdoor 1500-meter titles and three USA indoor champion titles.
"I realize I have made highly irrational choices and I take full responsibility for them," she said. "I am not a victim here and knew what I was doing."
Daniel Petty: firstname.lastname@example.com, 303-954-1081, twitter.com/danielpetty
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that Hamilton was a one-time world record holder. She has previously held two U.S. records.

Danks feels Paulino's pain
ARLINGTON -- In the realm of a pitcher coming back from any sort of major surgery, there appears to be the first step of getting healthy and then another important step after that to be successful. Felipe Paulino found out about that second step as he struggled through the '14 campaign before being placed on the disabled list Saturday, and it's an issue where John Danks can relate.
Danks worked his way back from season-ending arthroscopic shoulder surgery in '12 to make a healthy return in '13. But even though he felt good, he wasn't quite good enough on the mound.
"There's a difference in being able to throw it and how you are throwing it," Danks said. "If you happen to rare back and put everything you have into it, you lose movement and you lose command. You can shoot a ball out of a cannon and a big league hitter will hit it. You can't throw hard enough.
"But once he gets to the point where he's strengthened enough to command his 95 [mph fastball], he'll be back where we expect him to be. It's hard to watch Paulino struggle like that. He's a great teammate. He works hard. He's doing everything he knows to do to get it right. It's just not there."
The 4-14 record and 4.75 ERA for Danks over 22 starts last season was tougher than his 0-8 start in '11.
"Last year was my most frustrating year, just because I know I was capable of throwing it, but it just wasn't happening," Danks said. "I expect Felipe to get back to where he expects to be and where we want him to be."

Full Moon Ride
Things will start at Pub99 in Fairhaven at 7PM. There will be plenty of parking there or across the street at the old Applebees place.
The Ride:
From Pub 99 we will spin the Pheonix MUP to the Fairhaven Bridge, crossing the span on the east sidwalk before we portage our bikes down the stairs to Front Street. There we will make a decision to ride through downtown or directly to Rodney French Blve and Ft. Rodman.
The return loop will take us past Davy's Locker which has an outdoor bar on the pier. (Just a thought) A safe ride thought the deserted North Terminal road could put us in the vacinity of Antonio's (another just a thought), before returning to Fairhaven, which would put us close to the Bayside Lounge. (It's Friday night don't forget).
We are still trying to get this ride off the ground. This could be the one.

To be a adroit benign being is to be enduring a amiable of openness to the far-out, an skill to trust unsure things beyond your own manage, that can govern you to be shattered in uncommonly exceptional circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably important relating to the prerequisite of the ethical compulsion: that it is based on a trust in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something kind of fragile, but whose acutely particular attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.ReplyDelete

Global Increase In Atmospheric Methane Likely Caused By Unusual Arctic Warmth, Tropical Wetness
Science Daily (September 28, 2009) — Unusually high temperatures in the Arctic and heavy rains in the tropics likely drove a global increase in atmospheric methane in 2007 and 2008 after a decade of near-zero growth, according to a new study. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, albeit a distant second.
NOAA scientists and their colleagues analyzed measurements from 1983 to 2008 from air samples collected weekly at 46 surface locations around the world. Their findings will appear in the September 28 print edition of the American Geophysical Union's Geophysical Research Letters and are available online now.
"At least three factors likely contributed to the methane increase," said Ed Dlugokencky, a methane expert at NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory in Boulder, Colo. "It was very warm in the Arctic, there was some tropical forest burning, and there was increased rain in Indonesia and the Amazon."
In the tropics, the scientists note, the increased rainfall resulted in longer periods of rainfall and larger wetland areas, allowing microbes to produce more methane. Starting in mid-2007, scientists noticed La Niña conditions beginning, waning and then intensifying in early 2008. This kind of climate condition typically brings wetter-than-normal conditions in some tropical regions and cooler sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It can persist for as long as two years. In the United States, La Niña often signals drier-than-normal conditions in the Southwest and Central Plains regions, and wetter fall and winter seasons in the Pacific Northwest.
Observations from satellites and ground sites suggest that biomass burning – the burning of plant and other organic material that releases carbon dioxide and methane – contributed about 20 percent, of the total methane released into the atmosphere in 2007.
However, during the scientists' 2007 measurement of methane for northern wetland regions, including the Arctic, temperatures for the year were the warmest on record. This temperature increase coincided with the large jump in the amount of methane measured in that area.
Dlugokencky and his colleagues from the United States and Brazil note that while climate change can trigger a process which converts trapped carbon in permafrost to methane, as well as release methane embedded in Arctic hydrates – a compound formed with water – their observations "are not consistent with sustained changes there yet."
Methane is typically created in oxygen-deprived environments, such as flooded wetlands, peat bogs, rice paddies, landfills, termite colonies, and the digestive tracts of cows and other ruminant animals. The gas also escapes during fossil fuel extraction and distribution and is emitted during fires.
Authors of the study are Dlugokencky, L. Bruhwiler, P.C. Novelli, S. A. Montzka, K. A. Masarie, P. M. Lang, A.M. Crotwell, and J.B. Miller of NOAA's Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado; J.W.C. White of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado; L. K. Emmons of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado; and L.V. Gatti of the Laboratorio de Quimica Atmosferica, Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares, São Paulo, Brazil. Crotwell and Miller are also at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences in Boulder, Colorado.

China Daily via Reuters, file
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao shakes hands with local workers in earthquake-hit Mianzhu, Sichuan province in this Jan. 25, 2009 file photo.
BEIJING – When news broke earlier this year that the family of disgraced Chongqing party boss, Bo Xilai, had amassed $160 million in ill-gotten earnings, the story was seen as a proverbial pin in the balloon China's ruling Communist Party has long floated to its people about its leadership.
In China the storyline went something like this: local-level officials could be and have been corrupted. But China's highest leaders were incorruptible, pious men who were sympathetic to the plight of the country's citizenry.
Bo's corruption and the transgressions of his inner circle have been very publicly renounced by the Communist Party. His wife, Gu Kailai, was found guilty of the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood while his former deputy police chief, Wang Lijun, was jailed and held up as a traitor after his now infamous flight to the American Consulate in Chengdu this past winter.
News Friday that Bo had been stripped of his last party title appears to pave the way for a convenient resolution of the scandal before a critical once-in-a-decade leadership changeover on Nov. 8 at the 18th Communist Party Congress.
But the revelation in Friday's New York Times that the family of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao controlled assets of at least $2.7 billion dollars posed a grave threat to the Party's preferred narrative of being the honest broker that brings prosperity to all.
NYT report: China leader Wen Jiabao's family has amassed billions in assets since '98
So much so that Beijing was forced Friday to kick the censorship gears up a notch, blocking the English- and Chinese-language websites of the New York Times, blacking out mentions of the story on independent cable news channels carried in China, and censoring the names of Wen's family and other mentions of the story on China's Internet.
At a Foreign Ministry briefing Friday, a spokesman gruffly stated that the Times' report "blackens China's name and has ulterior motives." When asked why the paper's website was being censored, he said, "China manages the Internet in accordance with laws and rules."
One piece of information not censored, however is a report released Thursday by the research group, Global Financial Integrity, which estimated $3.7 trillion dollars had been pilfered and smuggled out of China from 2000 through 2011.
The report also estimated that $472 billion -- or 8.3 percent of China's 2011 gross domestic product -- had been stolen last year alone.
Just how guilty Wen is in his family's nationwide money grab is up for debate. As the Times' report noted, a 2007 diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks quoted an executive who noted that the premier was aware of his family's lucrative business ventures: "Wen is disgusted with his family's activities, but is either unable or unwilling to curtail them."
Wen's failure to reign in his family's financial activities threatens to undermine the carefully scripted public persona he has cultivated over the years.

A click-through history of modern relations between the United States and China.
Nicknamed "Grandpa Wen" by state media, the premier has relished opportunities to be photographed connecting with members of rural communities and blue-collar workers. During the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, he was a near-daily presence in news reports about the disaster and government rescue and recovery efforts.
He has also been dogged in his calls for economic reform and greater income equality. At this year's National People's Congress, during what was likely his last major press conference in a 45-year-long political career, Wen called for reform.
"Even with a single breath left, I am ready to dedicate myself fully to the cause of China's reform," he was quoted as saying.
Although Wen was speaking months before the release of the Times piece, he still apparently felt the need to address whispers about relatives trading on the family name. "I have never pursued personal gain," declared Wen, before adding, "History will have the final say."
Communist Party officials hope to control the writing of history. But the institution is starting to feel the strain of having to push an ever heavier stone uphill. The Internet has made information more widely available than ever before on the mainland; what censors just 10 years ago could make disappear – sometimes literally -- has become more problematic today.
Still, while completely squashing a story in China seems to no longer be possible, it may not be Beijing's intention or even in its best interest to stifle information. Some Chinese have found ways to circumvent the Great Firewall, while millions have gone abroad, where they have been exposed to the world beyond. Allowing them the safety valve of relatively free information does not pose an immediate threat to Party rule for now.
That's because the vast majority of China's population appears to be apolitical, disinterested in or unwilling to engage in any meaningful political discourse. This situation is changing, quickly at times.
For now, however, the censorship of unpalatable stories is an effective albeit cumbersome tool for the Party to wield.
As for the New York Times, its fate in China looks dim. Just two months ago, Bloomberg ran a similar story that showed how the family of China's likely future president, Xi Jinping, had also accumulated a vast business fortune – though unlike Wen's kin, Xi's immediate family did not appear to be reaping the same economic benefits.
Bloomberg's website has since been blocked on the mainland.

(Updates with police response, final three paragaphs)
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - More than one in five police forces in Britain are failing to record cases of 'honour'-based violence, and this is putting lives in danger, a women's rights charity said in a report published on Thursday.
Many police officers still do not understand the 'honour' system, which punishes women and girls perceived to have brought shame on their family or community, the Iranian and Kurdish Women's Rights Organisation (IKWRO) said.
The violence occurs largely, but not exclusively, in communities with origins in the Middle East and South Asia, and can, for example, stem from a girl's refusal to marry the man her father has chosen for her.
"There may only be one chance to protect someone who is at risk from 'honour' killing," Diana Nammi, IKWRO's executive director, said in a statement.
"It is imperative that every police officer, from the telephone operator to those handling the case face to face, can identify an 'honour' based violence case, secure the trust of the victim and act appropriately to ensure that they are not further endangered, for example by never communicating with their family or community, from whom they are at risk."
The violence ranges from acid attacks, mutilation and rape to abduction, beatings and even murder, and is hard to prevent or tackle without better data and police training, said the report, Postcode Lottery: police recording of reported 'honour' based violence.
IKWRO carried out research in 2011 that suggested there were up to 3,000 cases of 'honour' violence in Britain every year.
IKWRO said 'honour'-based cases can escalate quickly, from what might be interpreted as a trivial incident - for example, talk of being married off - to extreme violence and killing.
The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) issued new guidelines to help forces deal with potential 'honour' victims in 2008 after a series of high-profile 'honour' killings - including the gang rape and murder of Banaz Mahmod, a 20-year-old woman who asked the police for help five times before being killed by members of her family in 2006.
IKWRO said the definition of 'honour'-based violence laid out by the independent police body was too vague, and contributed to inconsistencies in police records of 'honour' crimes and incidents.
Another problem was that some police forces, such as the London Metropolitan Police, record forced marriage cases separately from cases of 'honour'-based violence, the charity said.
The report called for a wider definition of 'honour'-based violence and a review of policing of such cases, among other recommendations.

The AAFP and several other groups have joined with the nation's largest consumer advocacy organization -- the AARP -- in calling for a repeal of the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula in favor of enactment of a more equitable Medicare payment system.
In a letter to House and Senate congressional leaders, the AAFP, the AARP, and four other physician and Medicare advocacy groups say that the need for payment reform is overdue and that "addressing the current flawed payment formula is a necessary and far-sighted course of action."
"Congress has an opportunity to repeal the SGR -- the first step toward enacting a better payment system -- by redirecting money from the Overseas Contingency Operations fund the Pentagon says will never be spent," states the letter, which also is signed by the American College of Physicians, the American Geriatrics Society, the Center for Medicare Advocacy and the Medicare Rights Center.
The SGR has called for steep reductions in the Medicare physician payment rate during the past 10 years -- reductions averted only by last-minute action by Congress. Physicians face a 26.5 percent reduction in the Medicare physician payment rate on Jan. 1 unless Congress acts to block the cut. As the Jan. 1 deadline looms, the AAFP and other organizations have stepped up pressure on Congress to repeal the SGR and to put in place new payment methods to maintain Medicare access and encourage the delivery of high-quality care.
"Congress has long recognized that the SGR is a poor method for establishing payment rates for health care providers paid under the Medicare physician fee schedule," says the letter. "In each of the last 10 years, it has voted to override the cuts mandated under the formula. These stopgap measures have served to increase the size of future cuts, the cost of long-term reform and the insecurity among people with Medicare about their ability to maintain access to their doctors."
The AAFP and the other organizations call on Congress to pass the longest possible SGR fix to allow Congress time to fix the situation permanently. But they also stress that it is important to keep Medicare affordable for beneficiaries.

Fitness & Wellbeing Classes @ Sion Centre
Outdoor Qi Gong
This activity will focus on the simple but fundamental core foundation exercises at the heart of tai chi and chi kung practice. This activity concentrates on foundation training in Tai Chi, Chi Kung and meditation, with a goal to developing chi (internal energy) and relaxation in both body and mind.
It is an ancient, time-tested traditional Chinese method of self-development, and is a subtle blend of the most refined Medical, Meditative and Martial knowledge combining self-discipline, graceful movement and effortless power.
Students develop increasing physical and mental skills, as awareness and understanding of all aspects of their self increases. You can learn and practise Tai Chi at your individual pace, and, as there are ever-new levels, throughout the rest of your life. These disciplines rely on a mindful re-discovery of the body to enrich and inspire one's experience of any aspect of life.
What you will learn
Tai Chi is perhaps the most effective way to develop balanced health for the body and the mind. Students who persevere in their training will receive a variety of benefits including :
- Anxiety Relief
- Improved Balance
- Aligned Posture
- Improved overall health
- Calmness and focus of mind
- Increased energy
- Suppleness, strength, co-ordination, balance, and agility
- Relaxation and freedom from stress
- Strengthening of the internal functions of the body, such as the immune system, metabolic functions, and cardiovascular system
- Understanding of the body's processes and self-healing
- Harmony with the natural laws of human life
What you need to know
These Foundation Exercise class classes are excellent for beginners to advanced students, require no prior knowledge of tai chi and are attended by students at all levels of learning.
What to bring
Please dress appropriately for the weather. You may wish to consider:
- You'll need some loose comfortable clothes, plain subdued colours if possible.
- Bottle of water
- Sun glasses
Cold Weather
If the weather is too bad the class will be cancelled. However in cold weather, even snowy conditions Tai Chi maybe practiced.
"In China people young and old practice outdoors all year round, even in snow, the key is dressing warmly."
Cold Weather Training by Sifu Morgan Buchanan
Wear warm clothes as needed. Wear multiple layers that can be taken off and put on again in order to keep your body at a comfortable temperature. Ensure that you keep the neck wrapped up with a high collared jacket or scarf to protect the "feng" or wind points at the base of the skull.

Some time back, I answered the excellent questions posed by the Pew Research Center about the future of smart systems. Enough time had passed that I was pleasantly surprised to read the results, and to see a quote of mine called out. It runs as follows:
Jerry Michalski, president of Sociate and consultant for the Institute for the Future, shared a comprehensive view of flaws he sees, writing, "A few years back, BMW and Mercedes Benz had to turn off some of the onboard electronics on their high-end cars because complexity gremlins were making things break. Those are smart German companies that one assumes have a lot of control over their components and their software. Diabetic Jay Radcliffe recently hacked into his own wirelessly enabled insulin pump, changing his dosage. The Internet of Things and the subsequent world of smart systems, from smart cars and smart highways to smarter cities and smart homes is mostly overblown, and, in fact, poses a significant risk of creating overwhelming complexity, which could take down the Internet we now have. It also opens the door to hacking scenarios we seem to not want to contemplate. Every security technology becomes obsolete. If we connect all these new things and expose them to external control, you can bet some of the forces controlling them won't be the designers or owners. As these connected devices age, they'll just become more vulnerable. Imagine also the court cases of people hit by autonomous vehicles, for example. I see our 'smarter world' much as I see genetically modified organisms right now: very powerful technologies that could do a lot of good but are being implemented poorly."
I'm typically an optimist, though not a techno-utopian. Imagining how complex a world full of smart things will be, combined with how unlikely it is that we'll have a satisfactory field-upgradeable infrastructure (meaning the ability to increase embedded devices' security in years to come, once they're installed) makes me extremely skeptical that this ends well for us all.

A proud moment for Russian speed skater Olga Graf was nearly marred by mortification when she unzipped her skating suit, not thinking about what she had on underneath — nothing.
"I totally forgot," Graf told The Associated Press. "We have very good suits and they are very tight. ... You just want to breathe and you want to take off your suit."
The incident happened at Adler Arena after Graf notched Russia's first medal — a bronze — in the women's 3000m, which President Vladimir Putin took a moment to acknowledge.
"You brought an unforgettable moment of triumph and utter joy to millions of fans by taking the first medal for our team," he said.
The moment became unforgettable for spectators as well when Graf unzipped the suit during a cool down lap, revealing a triangle of skin from neck to belly button.
U.S. & World
Photographers captured the moment and when she realized the problem, Graf quickly zipped back up.
"Only afterward did I realize that maybe this video will appear on YouTube," she told the AP. "But I don't think it will be so bad."
Her slip-up is far from the first athletic wardrobe malfunction to attract Internet buzz. At the Summer Games in London, a player on Spain's women's water polo team got unwanted attention after an underwater camera captured a bathing suit grab by an opponent that exposed more than she would have wanted. And in 2009 swimmer Ricky Berens split the back of his swimsuit during a dive at a world championships.
Graf's slip-up leaves her little to be embarrassed about, by comparison. The 30-year-old realized her error before too much skin was visible, notched the bronze and beat her previous personal best with a time of 4 minutes 3.47 seconds. Irene Wust from the Netherlands won the gold, while Martina Sablikova from the Czech Republic took silver.

The Android Market was just recently renamed to Google Play and yet there are already cybercriminals taking advantage of this. We've spotted newly created domains that imitate the Google Play site and contain malicious apps.
The malicious URL http://{BLOCKED}ay-google.ru displays a fake Russian Google Play site. When translated to English, the text reads: " Download Google Play for Android Google Play is formerly known as the android market but now a vast and influential old android market combined with a store of books google ebookstore multi-format films and world music google music."
Upon trying to select the clickable images in the site, I was led to another malicious Russian domain that offers suspicious Android apps. I tried to download the Google Play application, google-play.apk, from the URL http://{BLOCKED}ay-google.ru but it just points to malicious file detected as ANDROIDOS_SMSBOXER.AB. This leads to another malicious URL, http://{BLOCKED}-api.ru.
ANDROIDOS_SMSBOXER.AB is a premium abuser type of mobile malware. Such malware subscribes affected devices to premium services without the permission of the user, thus leading to unwanted charges.
This particular malware is very similar to ANDROIDOS_OPFAKE.SME — an Android malware that made news last month for its ability to polymorph. However, similar to ANDROIDOS_OPFAKE.SME, the server that hosts ANDROIDOS_SMSBOXER.AB simply inserts unnecessary files into the APK in order to evade detection. According to Threats Analyst Kervin Alintanahin, the said routine technically can not be considered polymorphic behavior, especially since no significant change is done to the APK's source code. Due to this, security software can still easily detect the malicious files.
Aside from detecting the malicious .APK files, all of the related malicious URLs are already blocked through the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. Trend Micro customers need not worry as ANDROIDOS_ SMSBOXER.AB is currently detected by Trend Micro Mobile App Reputation.
If anything, this attack shows just how quick cybercriminals can adapt to the fast-changing mobile landscape. Users are strongly advised to practice extreme caution when dealing with apps and app stores in general. For more information on mobile threats, please check our Mobile Threat Information Hub.

We strive to complete each order within 2 or 3 days, however a product can take up to 7 business days to complete.

Because old presidents are amazing. Everybody has a favorite one. Some people really geek out on American presidents and the history that surrounds them (like us!), and some people just think presidents like Abraham Lincoln were the coolest thing since sliced bread, period. Some people legitimately wish they could reelect their favorite president, like, right now (us again). And some aren't too much into politics but they still love that Lincoln (Or JFK, Ike, FDR, etc). There are many reasons to wear a shirt with an old president on it. Maybe Teddy's face just looks badass. Maybe George Washington looks extra good at that Fourth of July BBQ. Whatever the reason, it's hard to find a bad one when it comes to wearing presidents.
Actually we're a couple of gals. We're based in San Diego and Los Angeles, California. We absolutely love history, especially American history. And, of course, we love The Presidents. We also love art and street fashion, which is why we formed Old News Co., so we could blend the fashion world with the history world and offer a lifestyle brand that all the other history and president geeks, not just us, could be a part of.
Our shipping rate is $3.99 for all orders that are under $75. If your subtotal is $75 or greater, we're super stoked to offer you free shipping.
We print every product only after you make it yours and order it. It's that fresh. It usually takes 2 or 3 days to process and print an order. However, it can take up to 7 business days to print your merchandise. Rest assured, though, that most orders are printed within 3 business days.
We ship via the United States Post Office first class mail, and they usually take 3-8 business days to deliver your goods. The average time it takes from when you place an order to when you receive your order is about 7 business days, with some orders coming in sooner and others a little later.
We print all of our products in Los Angeles, California on 100% American-made apparel and material. We use water-based, eco-friendly ink when printing, which gives the design on the shirt or accessory an incredibly soft feel; it blends in with the fabric and will last a lifetime. Keeping production in America and only using the highest quality materials are our biggest priorities.
Because each product is made to order, Old News Co. does not accept returns or exchanges. We highly recommend referring to our size guide when making a purchase. And for all of our customers who are familiar with the (awesome) brand American Apparel, all of our products are printed on their blank merchandise. Hopefully this will also help in determining your correct size.
If a product is lost in the mail or arrives defective, we've got your back. Please reach out to us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will resolve the issue pronto.

From Fourth Street NE to 4th Street NW (where's the TFTS style guide?) I rode behind a woman CaBi-ist in a winter coat and she was wearing neither helmet (whatever) nor socks (PROBLEM). I find socklessness to be a welcome diversion in summer, but autumnal socklessness? It was cold this morning. Her toes must be made a hardier stuff than mine. Yesterday, I saw another woman CaBi-ist who was wearing flip-flops. Is Bikeshare running some kind of weird
I rode E until 15th. At 13th, a man on a bicycle skidded to a stop to my left and couldn't help but cut in front of me, maybe from not wanting to or maybe from not being able to. Bikes: they let everybody have them!
Great time at Swings as always. The coffee's hot and the bathtub gin is cold. I mean, no, there's no secret bootlegging taking place there. None at all.
Afterwards, I rode down G street to 23rd and then a couple blocks further south to meet up with the Official Wife and we walked together back to the Foggy Bottom metro and then I rode over to 25th street NW and I waited patiently to cross K Street, which at 25th still resembles a highway. 25th street isn't connected on both sides of K and there are medians in the street and it's not a very pedestrian or bicyclist friendly place. When crosswalks feel like an imposition, I don't think that's a particularly healthy street.
I rode Pennsylvania and passed the Salvation Army where Penn meets M (the name of a less successful Nora Ephron rom-com with that magician and Judi Dench) . I find it remarkable that the forces of Salvation have left themselves so vulnerable to attacks by sea or air.
M street to Wisconsin and a pretty unpleasant climb up the hill. There were trucks idling in the right travel lane. There were buses idling in front of the trucks. There were taxi cabs doing whatever taxi cabs do (menace, I think). And I didn't heed most of these things because I was very, very tired from working my way up a hill that I'm pretty sure has gotten steeper recently due to plate tectonics/wizardry. It's not that I regretted taking the Brompton, but just that I regretted the Bromtpon doesn't have rocket boosters.
When I pass Reservoir Road, I think to myself "why hasn't anyone opened a Quentin Tarantino-themed dog groomer on this road?" because there's a perfectly obvious and funny punny name for it based on the title of one of his movies. Exactly: Pup Fiction.
The Glover Park street improvement project on Wisconsin is coming along and looks to be done soon. It doesn't look like an unrelenting hellscape of car traffic doom, but I'm sure I'm mistaken and I'll read all about it in the next NW Current.
Wisconsin to Massachusetts and I was relieved to ride down to the bottom of a hill before getting to climb another little one and then I was at work and then I worked. And now work is over and I'm over work and I'm going to go home.

I only have one more tutorial to upload after this one and then I am all done for the day. I can't believe I have been so much work lately, but at least my hard work is not in vein. People are learning from the lessons that I am submitting and as long as I'm doing my job, I'm a happy camper. Up next, you will be taught how to draw a swan for kids, step by step. The idea to make a swan and turn it into a simple drawing lesson actually came from my eight year old sister. She wanted me to make a really easy sketch of a swan that would be simple for her to replicate. After thinking of a way to turn a regular sized swan into a childish or smaller version, I finally came up with the perfect idea and it's what you see before you now. This should only take you about ten minutes tops to replicate, so when you tackle drawing a swan for kids, be sure to show all of your friends and family what you have created. This swan may be drawn in a style for kids, but it still has the beautiful serine quality. I hope you like this drawing guys, be sure to fav, rate, and comment on it to let me know if you like it. I will be back soon with one more piece for you all.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

As mentioned earlier in the week on Unframed, tonight is a fantastic event on the influence of cinema on Asco, including a discussion of their No Movies and a screening of French New Wave director Agnes Varda's 1981 documentary Mur Murs, about murals is Los Angeles and featuring Asco.
If you haven't yet experienced some of the many Pacific Standard Time exhibitions at LACMA or nearby, this is a great weekend to do it. We and our Hollywood/Wilshire neighbors are holding a "focus weekend," with events happening here and elsewhere, including free admission at some institutions (check this pdf for details).
Saturday focuses on architecture and design, with events at exhibitions at the A+D Museum and Craft and Folk Art Museum (both across the street from LACMA), as well as the Fowler Museum, Hammer Museum, LACE, and MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House. The big event at LACMA, in conjunction with California Design, 1935-1960 and as mentioned yesterday, is an all-day program in the Bing: The Legacy of the California Design Exhibitions, which looks at the series of California Design exhibitions held at the Pasadena Art Museum in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Sunday hones in on artists in L.A. who engaged with social and political causes. Here at LACMA that includes Edward Kienholz's Five Car Stud as well as Asco: Elite of the Obscure and Mural Remix: Sandra de la Loza. Sandra de la Loza herself will be here on Sunday for a free talk in the Bing Theater. She'll be joined by Louie Perez of Los Lobos and Tomas Carrasco of the political satire group Chicano Secret Service for a discussion of Chicanos and the counter-culture. Other events happening nearby on this day include a a curator- and artist-led talk at the Fowler Museum for their Mapping Another L.A.: The Chicano Art Movement, a discussion about Watts Towers at the Hammer Museum, and a screening at LACE documenting performance art in L.A. in the 1970s.
Of course it's not all about Pacific Standard Time at LACMA. We also have many other exhibitions on view, including the just-opened Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World, Glenn Ligon: AMERICA, and Monet/Lichtenstein: Rouen Cathedrals. On Sunday we also offer our free Andell Family Sunday activities—the perfect time to bring the kids.
As usual, the weekend is bookended with free concerts: tonight, the Ark Sano Trio performs during Jazz at LACMA, while on Sunday the trio of Movses Pogossian (violin), Michele Zukovsky (clarinet), and Antoinette Perry (piano) perform works by Beethoven, Messiaen, and Bartok during Sundays Live.

It sat vacant for quite some time, so I was thrilled to hear that a San Marco storefront would soon be a source for buttery biscuits. And let's be honest, who doesn't love a hot, flaky, not-too-doughy-but-still-delightful biscuit?
The new space feels much more warm, cozy and inviting than it did with the two previous inhabitants (The Black Bean, Moe's), with the addition of wood panels to the open layout, calming colors and a self-service coffee area. Faux chalkboard menus sport a list of all things biscuit-like. And how do you know your order is ready? They yell out the name of your favorite band or favorite childhood TV show — nuggets of your life revealed when you ordered.
On my first visit, I quickly loosened my waistband and ordered The Loaded Goat (with fried chicken breast and a fried goat cheese medallion) and The Sticky Maple (with fried chicken breast, pecan bacon topped with real maple syrup) and two sides that piqued my interest: grits and Smoky Mountain Mac-N-Cheese. The signature biscuit sandwiches range from $4 to $7 and are filling. Sauces and other sides (sweet potato fries, collards, black-eyed peas, salad, pepper jelly, butter, cheese, honey, apple butter, maple syrup, etc.) are additional. And for you true Southerners, I hear the sausage gravy is to die for.
The biscuits were good, but not overly fluffy. They were sturdy enough to support the generous piece of moist fried chicken, which wasn't the slightest bit greasy. The creamy melted goat cheese edged out the Sticky Maple. The Mac-N-Cheese was decent and I enjoyed my creamy grits, which I doused with Louisiana hot sauce.
On my second visit, I went simple: a biscuit with seasonal pumpkin butter and a coffee. Of the several varieties offered, I preferred the slightly sweet Maple Tap coffee, roasted specially for the restaurant. My biscuit was flaky and delicious, and the pumpkin butter had tons of flavor.
Maple Street's hours of operation are accommodating: Monday through Saturday, the doors open at 7 a.m. It's perfect for a quick, inexpensive, casual bite and there's nothing else like it around. I just wish it were open on Sundays, too.

Microsoft's Bizarro World LinuxCon Sponsorship
Nov 12, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Here in the Linux blogosphere, there are several hypothetical scenarios that most agree would surely make the Earth stand still. Flying pigs, of course, is one of them; numerous others, however, involve Microsoft doing something that promotes Linux.
It was perhaps no great surprise, then, to witness the stunned hush that fell over the blogosphere when a recent tidbit of news hit the airwaves.
"Linux Foundation Sponsors Now Includes Microsoft?" was the headline that broke the news last Tuesday, and in no time at all it was all over Slashdot and beyond.
"For the LinuxCon Europe event which is going on this week in Spain, if you look closely you will notice that Microsoft is listed as a Gold Sponsor," the article explained. The price of said participation? No less than $18,000.
First, you could have heard a pin drop. Ever since then, the conversational din has made it difficult to get a word in edgewise.
'Linux and MS Have a Common Enemy'
"There is a cold-wave going through Hell," quipped zrbyte on Slashdot, for instance.
Similarly, "MS has been an enemy of linux since the beginning," warned Nyder. "Taking their money now just shows that Linux can now be bought off."
Then again, "as per this [PCWorld] article Microsoft is offering Linux on its Azure platform, so its quite reasonable for a major vendor of Linux services to want to be part of a Linux conference (and I had to stop myself from laughing out loud when I wrote that)," noted OzPeter.
And again: "linux and MS have a common enemy," suggested TheGratefulNet. "Apple. (only half kidding.)"
'I Find It Disturbing'
Down at the blogosphere's Broken Windows Lounge, FOSS fans had plenty of their own ideas to share.
"I find it disturbing that Microsoft is sponsoring an open source event," Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol told Linux Girl.
"Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Linus's refusal to adopt GPLv3 on the kernel makes possible the Tivoization (or even a fork) of the GNU/Linux kernel," Ebersol explained. "This thing already happened with Android, but Google is a more benevolent company."
'The Community Should Watch Closely'
Now, "I fear M$ will pull off an Android-like Linux OS and try to dismiss the free software movement," he suggested. It may not be likely thanks to the GPL, "but since Google already pulled it off, and, as M$ is the copycat company (Zune, Kin, Surface, Bing), it's not impossible."
With a "maneuver staged to show 'Hey, Microsoft has changed' and 'This is the new Microsoft,' all of sudden, Suse Linux becomes Microsoft Linux," Ebersol continued. "Red Hat, Google and Canonical would suffer a lot with a stunt like that."
In any case, "in my country there's a saying, "who lies down with dogs, wakes up with fleas,'" Ebersol concluded. "I do not approve, and the whole community should watch very closely what's going on in Redmond regarding free software and open source software."
'A Crime in My Mind'
Blogger Robert Pogson took a similar view.
"Allowing M$ to join the Linux Foundation or to sponsor events is a crime in my mind, but it is in the spirit of GPL and other FLOSS licenses -- FLOSS is available to anyone," Pogson explained.
"M$ should be in jail, banned from participating in IT forever for what it has done over the decades: exclusive dealing, bullying businesses and excluding competition," he concluded. "That no government took the trouble to stop M$ from operating is not a reason to accept their money, which is largely illegally obtained by excluding competition and bundling their OS with PCs."
'It's Just Good Business'
"It's a trap!" began Robin Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"Seriously, Microsoft knows that Linux is not going away in servers and embedded devices," Lim offered. "It's an odd co-existence of competition and co-existence that almost everyone actually lives happily enough with."
In fact, "it makes sense for Microsoft to ensure that its clients, Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone maintain a good degree of compatibility with companies with a Linux backend," he suggested.
"For Microsoft, software is not about ideology, but about the bottom line," he concluded. "It's just good business to support Linux. Ultimately, the real enemy of Microsoft and Linux is Apple, since the ultimate goal of the latter is a completely closed hardware and software ecosystem."
'They Need to Look Friendly'
The situation must surely arise from the principle, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies CLOSER!" opined Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C., "perhaps applied both by the Linux Foundation and Microsoft.
"But seriously... they are working on some coding to get their visualization working," he added. Also, "they need to look friendly."
Indeed, "one word: HyperV," Slashdot blogger hairyfeet told Linux Girl. "MSFT has spent serious money on hyperV, and they want to have their people talk about it."
In fact, "Microsoft has been making money for YEARS on Linux, buying and bundling SUSE licenses with their WinSever packages, so naturally they are gonna want to talk about the product," he added.
'This Is What Victory Looks Like'
"I really don't mind," said consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack. "If Microsoft wants to pay to come to a Linux event and make a case for their software, I don't see why they shouldn't be entitled to do that."
Of course, "it is probably not cost-effective to pay so much [to] come to an event full of people not likely to use their products, but that is a question for Microsoft's accountants, managers and shareholders."
Similarly, "I don't know why people are still surprised by this," Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien said. "Folks, this is what victory looks like: 'First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.'"


text: Greetings from the Coulee Region of SW Wisconsin ! Welcome to the website of Yankee Medic Records and nationally acclaimed veteran tunesmith Lem Genovese. We hope to share with you a musical journey that began in Des Moines, Iowa with Lem forming acoustic bands at Grand View College in the fall 1968, learning the basics of the Mekong Delta Blues in Vietnam in 1971, forming an acoustic trio at the University of Iowa from 1972-75 and as a solo performing songwriter the past three decades nationwide since then. Lem is a retired US Army/Iowa guard veteran of both Vietnam and Desert Storm where he served as a combat medic with the 209th Med Clearing Company attached to the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Infantry Division. The 209th completed more missions, treated more Iraqi EPW's and traveled further than any other unit of its kind during the 1st Gulf War. His record as an advocate for Vietnam veterans is unmatched. He has been recognized by VN Veterans Memorial founder Jan Scruggs: " The music of Lem Genovese is the most inspiring and thoughtful from the VN Era." NY TImes bestselling author Al Santoli added: "Lem Genovese sings with the voice of experience. He puts into his music the SOUL of Vietnam veterans." With all that military background, "civilians" will still enjoy his tunes. Its part of our mission statement - to be a musical bridge that promotes compassion, healing and understanding. Here is music that spans genres, including instrumental 12 & 6 string acoustic guitar compositions that evoke strong reactions from his audiences that span generations and demographics. We encourage you to sign our guestbook, ask questions, request information, make suggestions, download MP3 files and share the music and message of a songwriter whose legacy is truly living history. Rare indeed are songs that are more relevant today than ever for military families. For that, Yankee Medic Records is proud to represent a tunesmith of this caliber.Test

Canberra has approved more than $170 billion worth of foreign investment in Australia in 2011-12, according to the annual report released by the Foreign Investment Review Board.
The real estate sector has replaced mining as the magnet for foreign money for the first time in recent history. Treasury gave a tick to $59.1 billion worth of overseas investment into the property sector, with more than two-thirds of that going into commercial property.
There has been an influx of foreign cash into commercial property led by Asian investors and offshore pension funds. Interest in the residential sector decreased slightly from $20.9 billion in 2010-11 to $19.7 billion in 2011-12. NSW is the favourite investment destination for overseas real estate investors, followed by Victoria and Queensland.
Though interest in the mining industry declined from previous years, it still managed to attract $51.7 billion worth of investment. The oil and gas sector attracted the most investment, followed by gold/copper and iron ore.
Foreign interest in iron ore – Australia's single-largest exporter earner – declined over the past two years. In 2010-11, there was only $3 billion worth of investment in the industry. It regained some lost ground in 2011-12 to $8 billion. In comparison, close to $50 billion worth of investment was approved between 2008-10. The US remains the single-largest source of investment, with more than $36.6 billion worth of projects, followed by Britain and China. It is the fourth consecutive year that China has been ranked in the top three investors in this country.
The sensitive agricultural, forestry and fishing sector only accounted for a fraction of total investment at 2 per cent, but there has been an significant increase of investment from $1.4 billion in 2010-11 to $3.8 billion in 2011-12.
The three largest investors in this sector are Canadian, British and American. The report says the average level of foreign investment in the sector has been just over $2.5 billion. "Investment proposals in this sector are inherently irregular and can be skewed by large transaction with several large competing bidders."
In 2011-12, Chinese investors made $27 million worth of investment in the sector, less than 1 per cent of the total investment in the Australian agricultural sector.
The Trade Minister, Craig Emerson, called for greater co-operation between Australia and China in the agricultural sector in a new joint report. He said the Australian government would continue to make transparency in foreign investment a high priority. He said prospective investors needed to consider the employment of suitably skilled Australian workers in new agricultural developments before they could turn to the overseas labour market.

If you suffer from debilitating pain in your hip, knee, shoulder or other joint, you know how much it can limit your motion and activities of daily living. You may have pain that interrupts your sleep.
After being diagnosed with arthritis by your physician-from a remote injury or some other cause-your doctor may prescribe various non-surgical treatments. When these treatments no longer offer pain relief, you may begin to consider having a joint replacement.
Each year, physicians at Baptist perform more than 1,700 joint replacement surgeries. Each day, we send people home with new joints who look forward to returning to functional independence and an improvement in their quality of life.
Some of our surgeons have begun using a computer navigation system to assist with knee and hip joint replacement surgeries. If a computer is used, it does not change the implants, the overall outcome of the procedure, nor the post-operative course. The computer is used in the operating room, much like a GPS system is used in a car, and helps the surgeon decide the angles and amount of bone cuts, as well as the proper alignment of the joint replacement components. It involves trackers being attached to the shin bone (tibia) and thigh bone (femur), which communicate with a camera, then project real-time images of the joint onto a monitor. Research has proven that with the assistance of computer navigation, the procedure is less invasive and the overall alignment of the joint is better than when traditional instruments are used alone.
With the Joint Replacement Program, patient education and support begins at the time the surgery is scheduled, and continues through the hospital stay and the recovery process at home. The patient's family members and primary care physician- or hospitalist on staff at Baptist - are involved in the patient's care from pre-admission through discharge. This constant communication contributes to quality care and good patient experiences, which are our priority at Baptist.
The Joint Replacement program at Baptist includes a Joint Care Coordinator, who is responsible for assisting with your care needs from the from the surgeon's office, to the hospital, and home. The Joint Care Coordinator:
Whether you've been contemplating a joint replacement surgery for years or you've just begun to think about it, there are many things to think about. It is a procedure that requires consideration of the risks and benefits in consultation with your primary healthcare provider as well as orthopaedic surgeon. It also requires planning.

This series looks at the etymology of Florida place names derived from the Muskogee and Hitchiti languages.
Many Florida place names owe their origins to Muskogee and Hitchiti, two of the languages spoken by members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. The persistence of Muskogee and Hitchiti words as modern Florida place names reflects the prominent role played by Native Americans in the region's history.
Today's term is Wacahoota, meaning "cowpen" or "cow barn." According to scholars of Muskogee linguistics, the word is actually a combination of Spanish and Native languages: vaca (cow in Spanish) and hute/hoti (barn for cows in Muskogee).
Shown as "Watkahootee" on the map excerpt above, the term is spelled Wacahoota today and refers to a crossroads southwest of Gainesville in Alachua County. In the early 19th century, Wacahoota was situated firmly in the heartland of the Alachua bands of Seminoles.
The Alachua Seminoles worked thousands of head of cattle on the wet prairies south of modern-day Gainesville, particularly on what is known today as Paynes Prairie. Payne refers to King Payne, leader of the Alachua Seminoles in the early 1800s. Previous leaders of this band were also tied to cattle ownership. For example, when William Bartram visited the area in the 1770s the leader of the Alachua Seminoles was known as the "Cowkeeper" to the British.
The "Map of the Seat of War in Florida" (1839) shows Watkahootee situated along a military road connecting the southern rim of the Alachua Prairie with the Suwannee River. This was likely the location of one or more cowpens used by Seminole cattlemen in the early 19th century. Since cattle grazed freely for most of the year, cow hunters used this location during round-ups and other times when necessary.
Other sources hint at the history of Seminole occupation in the modern Wacahoota area. Henry Washington, in a report to Robert Butler dated December 16, 1832, listed "Wacahootie" as among the lesser towns in the Alachua district. Another contemporary account includes "Wachitoka" situated between the Suwannee and Santa Fe Rivers.
The presence of these towns on American inventories demonstrates the continuity of the name. However, given the known and frequent migration of Seminole bands during this time period, determining if a settlement remained in the same exact spot is difficult at best. It is likely that residents of a town or village retained the name for their settlement as they moved from one locale to the next as American settlers and the U.S. military pushed them further down the peninsula.
For more information, see John R. Swanton, Early History of the Creek Indians and Their Neighbors (University of Florida Press, 1998 [1922]); Jack B. Martin and Margaret McKane Mauldin, A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee, with Notes on the Florida and Oklahoma Seminole Dialects of Creek (University of Nebraska Press, 2004).
