Heat blow by Pacers in Game 3
Indianapolis, IN – The Miami Heat raced out and stayed ahead on the day the Indiana Pacers honored the Indianapolis 500.
LeBron James led the way in Miami's playoff franchise-record 70-point first half, and the Heat pulled away to down the Pacers, 114-96, in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
After two closely contested battles in Miami, the Heat used crisp-and-clean ball movement to jump out to a 14-point first-half lead on 62.8 percent shooting (27-of-43). James netted 18 points on a 7-of-11 clip from the field in the opening 24 minutes.
Udonis Haslem added 13 first-half points on 6-of-7 from the floor, while Chris Bosh poured in 12 and Dwyane Wade chipped in 10 before Miami headed into the locker room.
"Defensively we didn't come out aggressive," Indiana center Roy Hibbert said of the first half.
The Heat, who took a 2-1 series edge, stayed unbeaten on the road during the postseason while handing the Pacers their first home playoff loss.
"This is a great group of guys who love the pressure moments. They took our homecourt away and we had to come get it back," James said.
Indiana, which will host Game 4 on Tuesday, checkered Bankers Life Fieldhouse with white and navy blue shirts.
James finished with 22 points total for Miami, which held a commanding 52-36 points in the paint edge and committed a playoff franchise-low five turnovers. Wade recorded 18 points and eight assists in the triumph.
"We already have to put this behind us and start getting ready for the next challenge, the next battle, which is Game 4," Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said.
Hibbert had 20 points and 17 rebounds for the Pacers, who had a 2-1 series lead in last season's Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat before dropping three straight.
David West registered 21 points and 10 boards in defeat. Paul George had 13 points on just 3-of-10 shooting to go along with eight assists.
Indiana trailed 70-56 at the break, but used an 11-2 run to begin the third to whittle the deficit to seven. George nailed a triple, George Hill converted a three-point play and Lance Stephenson split a pair of foul shots to get the Pacers within 74-67.
Mario Chalmers, though, deposited five points during a 9-1 Miami spurt late in the frame to put the visitors back in control, 87-72, before taking a 91-76 cushion into the fourth.
The Head led by as many as 21 in the final frame.
"If you're not perfect guarding them, they'll do what they did to us tonight," Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said.
Both teams scorched the nets at the start, but an 8-0 Miami flurry that bled into the second quarter put the defending champs up for good.
After James sunk a pair of foul shots and finished off a dunk in transition to give the Heat a 34-30 edge after a period of play, he banked home a hook shot and Shane Battier made two from the stripe to conclude the burst and make it 38-30.
Game Notes
The Heat shot 54.5 percent (42-of-77) from the field and was 24-of-28 from the charity stripe ... Miami had 21 assists ... Chalmers had 14 points ... Indiana shot 39.7 percent (29-of-73) from the floor.

Saw Welcome (2007) this past weekend. Produced by Feroz Nadiadwala, directed by Anees Bazmee, starring Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Mallika Sherawat, Paresh Rawal, and Feroz Khan, and with music by Himesh Reshammiya. Thought it was a good comedy flick and surprisingly cleaner than I thought.
Understand one thing: this film is nonsensical but funny. Several bits of the film are just downright hilarious, some grossly overdone.
1. Akshay Kumar is very effective, but it is Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar who steal the show (see #3 below).
2. The scene in the car and the scenes toward the end (in the collapsing house) could have been deleted from the film while maintaining its comic quotient. These scenes are so literally unbelievable that I thought it best to fast forward through some bits. Although I must admit the passing-the-parcel bit was funny.
3. Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar put in the two best performances of the film, showcasing their seasoned talent, and proving that comedy that makes little sense can also have class. The scene where Anil Kapoor freezes a busy roadway for his painting is remarkably innovative. So is the portion of the film where Nana Patekar is being shot as a movie hero.
4. My favorite part of the film is when Nana Patekar, dressed in a suit for his film within the film, walks with a cart full of potatoes and yells, exactly like a thela waala (hawker)..."Aaloo le lo, kaanda le lo". Very very tasteful comedy, and one that made watching the movie worthwhile. What's more, the bit after that, with only one misra (i.e. the first half of the 'sher'): "Na subha se ek aaloo bika hai, na aadha kaanda". Wacky, and funny as funny can be.
5. Sticking with Nana Patekar, his character is very well developed, and he executes the role to perfection. Sample the dialog: 'oopar wale ka diya hua sab kuch hai. Daulat hai, shohrat hai, izzat hai...'. Very well done!
6. The story around Lucky and his father (played by Feroz Khan) is ordinary. That is one bit of the film that could have used more development. Disappointing.
7. Both actresses look stunning throughout. Katrina Kaif plays her part well. Mallika Sherawat makes for a very good comedian. Her handling of the first scene in which she appears, and the way in which she convinces both Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor of her being their fan, is convincing!
8. The music to the film is quite ordinary. Not surprising, given that it is Himesh Reshammiya's music, which proves after every occurrence that it is among the most redundant sets of music pieces around. Sad but expected. Yet, the film's cast manage to salvage something from the soundtrack...since every bit counts. Malaika Arora Khan proves yet again why she is the undisputed item number queen, and is absolutely fabulous in Hont Raseele. Kiya Kiya is another above average track in a soundtrack that I believe has little repeat listening value. And it's not because it's a soundtrack that makes little sense. No. I still enjoy the soundtrack to Partner (2007)!
Overall, Welcome is successful as an entertainer. Take your thinking caps off when you watch it, and you will likely enjoy it. Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar really make the watch worthwhile. I am going with three stars for this good comedy film, and that is only because as a complete film, it lacks a soundtrack that is good and that fits in well.
Movie rating: *** (Good)
Soundtrack rating: ** (Average)
My classification: PG-13 (mostly clean, making it somewhat of a family entertainer)

Hi Nicki: Told you I didn't have any problems suspending disbelief! I think this one worked okay because of Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar, who were both hilarious!

Earlier this morning, CNBC personality and noted monetary hawk Rick Santelli told Wall Street Journal reporter Jon Hilsenrath he never predicated his arguments against Fed easing on inflation fears.
Of course, the lack of accelerating inflation over the past few years is in part what's allowed the Fed to continue its bond buying program and keep interest rates low.
Here's the exchange:
HILSENRATH: People have been saying for 3 or 4 years, 'Inflation inflation inflation!' Show me! Show me...
SANTELLI: NO no no no no, that's not the issue. The issue is, you're not going to have a lot of inflation showing up when you have no velocity. I've talked about commodity price volatility in the past, go back to the tape… I never said it was about inflation.
But the following "Santelli Exchange" segment from Oct. 2012 ( via Zerohedge) certainly seems to suggest otherwise. In it he warns about how the seeds of Weimar were being sown by the Fed:
"To be nor not to be — of course I'm talking about inflation.
But what's very interesting is, as I look up at gold — of course it's reversed off its highs — but today it hit a high of $1794.40. That's the highest intraday level for 2012, indeed it goes back to November last year when we traded over $1,800.
But the issue is ,'To be nor not to be?' Is it inflation vacation or inflation gestation?…
Let's consider a couple of things. Printing money — is it really the answer? ... If we just print a million dollars for every man woman and child in the country, and handed it to them, won't that fix everything? Because in order to really look at printing — I like to take everything to the extreme...
Look at the Weimar Republic and their hyperinflation in the early '20s. It didn't happen overnight, I've used the analogy, it's a lot like soybeans you plant em, you wait, conditions take some time, you need some sun you need some water, but ultimately things start to grow, and are we in that phase or not?"

On the cusp of 2013, I've invited 11 of the greater Houston area's top minds to write about something they believe, but cannot prove. A new entry in the 11 for '13 series will be published each morning during the holidays.
Today's mini essay comes from Dr. Shaun Zhang, a professor of biology and biochemistry at the University of Houston…
Probably everyone knows about the Manhattan project. The atomic bombs developed from this project have forever changed the history and, of course, the outcome of World War II. Due to the stunning success, many scientists in the medical field have since called for a Manhattan Project for war against cancer.
Although such a project has not yet been initiated, this won't stop me from speculating that weapons of mass destruction (WMD) may provide a hope for cancer treatment. As a matter of fact, cancer has been traditionally treated with two of the WMD, chemical weapon (chemotherapy) and atomic weapon (radiation therapy).
More recently, scientists have started to develop a third WMD for cancer treatment – the biological weapon. In particular they are focusing on viruses. Viruses are addicted to our body cells. In other words, they have to enter inside cells to grow themselves.
Based on detailed understanding of virus life cycle, scientists have purposefully modified several benign viruses, such as adenovirus and herpes simplex virus, in that they lost their ability to grow in normal cells yet maintain their full capability to replicate in tumor cells. These modified viruses are thus called oncolytic viruses.
Of course, we know that tumor masses are packed with malignant cells, which provide a fertile ground for these viruses to grow and spread. This consequently causes massive destruction of tumor cells. As a new member of WMD for cancer treatment, oncolytic viruses have a better selectivity for cancer cells than either chemotherapy or radiation therapy. As such, they probably can be categorized as a smart WMD. Most interestingly, members of WMD have been found to synergize with each other at killing cancer cells. For example, several chemotherapies have been found to sensitize tumor cells to the killing effect of oncolytic viruses.
The world has been urged to reduce or eliminate the stockpile of WMD, which will without doubt benefit mankind. I wish the money saved from these people-killing WMD could be used for developing WMD for cancer elimination. WMD as a hope for cancer treatment may sound a bit crazy, but if the WMD is a smart one, then who knows? This may eventually turn out to be true. Before this is proven, let us keep dreaming.

Swimming Pool Cleaning and Swimming Pool Repair Palm Coast
Keeping your pool sparkling clean doesn't have to be as cumbersome as you might think. All pools are different, and so are their maintenance needs. However, they all share one commonality: The secret to pristine pool health is regular, routine care. If you choose to handle common problems like murky water or broken pumps on your own, make sure to always consult manufacturers' manuals before fixing or using equipment.
Call Pool Captain Corp for your swimming pool builder, service, repair and cleaning needs (386) 246-7439.
Even if matter if you rely on a service company to take care of your pool, you still need to do a few things on your own to ensure your pool stays in good condition for years.
On a searing summer day, a swimming pool is a welcome respite from the heat. But before you can dive into its cool blue water, you have to perform all the maintenance drudgery that prolongs its crystal-clear perfection. This often makes a backyard pool more of a burden than a blessing.
A bright swimming pool on a sunny summer afternoon is always filled with smiles, laughs and all around fun. Swimming pools are great for the family and increasing your home's value, but they also come with many maintenance items that will lighten your pockets.

Employee Benefits
In today's highly competitive marketplace, it's becoming increasingly difficult for business owners to attract and retain top talent. Salary is no longer the sole compensation driver. Employees are also looking at an employer's overall benefits package and its potential to help address their real concerns of financially protecting their families in addition to adequately planning for retirement.
You probably already have a standard benefits package in place, one that includes medical and dental coverage, disability income insurance, and a retirement plan. However, your competitors more than likely offer a similar benefits package. These days, employees are looking for benefit plans above and beyond the standard packages that most employers already offer. These benefits often provide the primary incentive for key employees to join and remain loyal to your company.
Designing an attractive employee benefits package may seem expensive, but the tax considerations1 can help offset the overall cost, and its impact on current and prospective employees could be rewarding. Through our network of Financial Services Representatives, we can help you provide an attractive employee benefits package for the employees that are most valuable to the success of your company.
Consider a few of the following options for your employee benefits program.
Disability Income Insurance
Executive Benefit Programs
Executive Group Life Insurance
Long Term Care Insurance
Retirement Plans

To the editor:
Recently 30 Kansas Explorer Club members from all over the state came to Marion County for one of our Group Adventures. The fun of the adventures is that we go to places not normally open to the public. We had a most tremendous time seeing Marion County with new eyes.
After starting our day with the baked sausage special at Main Street Café in Durham, we boarded the very cool Marion County Tourism Bus and went to Elm Springs, Sand Canyon, Sterling Rocks, and the springs at Sauble Ranch. A long line of cars could not have made it on these roads and the paths in the pastures. The tourism bus (and bus driver Woody Crawshaw) made the whole trip possible.
Each of these landmarks was so picturesque. From the flowing water at Elm Springs and the springs on Sauble Ranch, to the thick red sand and sandstone formations at Sand Canyon, to the huge craggy collection of flint rock at Sterling Rocks, it was an impressive array of geological features. To be able to climb all over the rocks, take pictures, and enjoy the space and peace of the country made it so appealing.
We topped off the day with a delicious steak dinner with all the trimmings at Florence's Corral at the Mercantile. To sit and unwind in the unexpected setting of the corral and enjoy such a first-class meal made for a perfect ending.
From your natural assets to your restaurants to your people, I want you to know, Marion County, that you have one of the best day trips that Kansas can offer.
Special thanks to Teresa Huffman for planning every detail of this memorable day.

Director, Kansas Sampler Foundation

For each year of attendance at Columbia, you will need to submit a new financial aid application which will be evaluated using the same methods and criteria that were used when you were admitted. Since the cost of attendance increases each year, for the typical family the financial aid package will increase in order to keep up with the cost increase. However, if your family circumstances have changed (e.g., changes in income, number of people in the household, the number of children who are full-time undergraduate students), then your financial aid award will be adjusted to take these changes into account.
What is your policy towards renewing the financial aid award after the first year?

By Necee Regis | GLOBE CORRESPONDENT NOVEMBER 25, 2012
Twenty years ago, Larry Mogelonsky formed LMA Communications Inc., a full-service marketing communications agency with a roster of clients in the hospitality and tourism industry (www.lma.ca). Mogelonsky writes daily columns in six publications worldwide and has recently published "Are You an Ostrich or a Llama? Essays in Hospitality Marketing and Management." He spends roughly half of his time "on property" at hotels across the globe. We caught up with him by telephone at his home in Toronto.
Q. What can consumers do to ensure the hotel they are going to is the right one for them?
A. When using Travelocity, Expedia, Orbitz — all the big sites, including bookings.com — always check the reviews on the site before booking. They are the most reliable because they require proof you've stayed there. And don't just look at one review. Look at the overall ratings.
Q. What about sites like Trip Advisor?
A. That's one level down. Trip Advisor doesn't require proof of stay. Anyone can write a review and post it as an alias. To really have fun, Google: "Hotel reviews, can you do something for me?" You'll see sites hire people to write reviews.
Q. What about calling a hotel to make a reservation?
A. I've generally found a preference will be given to those who phone and book a room directly rather than [making reservations] through other means. The room will be the same price — due to rate parity — and the odds of getting an upgrade are higher. This is a frequent traveler's secret.
Q. Are there other ways to get an upgrade?
A. For those who like to play roulette, my favorite tip is to arrive late. If all the rooms are filled you might get an upgrade to the Presidential Suite. It's risky. You might get an upgrade or you might get "walked," meaning they provide transportation to another hotel where you stay for free. It's not always convenient. I've been "walked" out of Manhattan to New Jersey.
Q. How can people get the most out of their travel dollars when looking at hotels online? Should you book ahead or not?
A. Always check for deals. Ask for specials and sometimes you'll get them. As the number of available rooms goes down, the prices go up. Booking early is the best way to get the best price, with few exceptions.
Q. What about people who want flexibility? What if my kid gets sick, or I need to change my dates of stay?
A. Read online contracts carefully. Many are either non-cancelable or are changeable with a stiff penalty. Depending on the hotel, if you book directly you'll have a lot of choices in terms of cancellations. Some allow [as late as] 6 p.m. the day of check- in. Resorts are often one week prior. Read the terms and conditions of each hotel. There's more flexibility when you book directly with a hotel than a third party.
Q. What about using social media like Facebook to find out about hotels?
A. Social media forums are not useful for people staying a couple of days. They're more for people going somewhere for a longer time for a specific reason. Is this the right resort for a family vacation? Is it on the beach? Use Google maps to see a location relative to attractions in the city.
Q. Any other tips?
A. Check out a new project, RoomKey.com. It's a consolidator that allows you to check prices at all major hotel chains in a city without going in and out of each website. Then you book directly with the hotel.

So Windows 8 is here, to little fanfare at the University. While I am always happy to have an updated version of Windows to work with, I see that I have yet to blog anything about it. Perhaps that is because, unlike with the release of Windows 7, there was so little that was relatively "wrong" with the previous release. I find myself with not much "to do" to get the enterprise ready for Windows 8. Other reasons for the lack of hype… Windows 7 applications seem, for the most part, to "just work" on Windows 8, thus necessitating very little in the way of application compatibility planning.
Still, we have run into a few hiccups. I spent most of the last two days updating the UVM WiFi Configuration Tool scripts and experimenting with Group Policy settings to make WPA2-protected wireless working consistently (Previously discussed here, way back in ought-eight.). In the end, there was very little that I did to the WiFi policies that was Windows 8 specific. The WiFi profile that we are using maintains backward compatibility with both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Here are the details:
- The 802.1x settings in our WiFi profile was updated to use "user authentication" instead of "user or computer authentication". Under XP, this option was called "user reauthentication". "ReAuthentication" meant that the computer would attempt to log on as the computer account, but that if the connection was lost, it would re-authenticate as the logged on user. Under XP, it was not possible to prevent computer authentication attempts. However, under Win7/Win8, user authentication is just that… only user authentication is attempted, computer authentication is excluded. We have verified this by looking at the RADIUS server logs. Switching to "user authentication" will cut down on log errors on the RADIUS servers, and will result in fewer errors on client systems as well.
- We have added a new trust anchor for our RADIUS server certificate in the WiFi profile. This was necessitated by mergers and acquisitions on the CA business. "Equifax" provided our original WPA2/PEAP certificate. When we went to renew our certificate, we found that Equifax had been acquired by GeoTrust, and that new certificates would be issued from a GeoTrust intermediate CA. However, this intermediate CA would be cross-signed using the Equifax root CA, so the Equifax trust anchor would still work. The problem is that if a system has both the GeoTrustandEquifax certs present in the local trusted roots certificate store, it will validate the "radius.uvm.edu" up to the GeoTrust anchor, and will ignore the cross-signing with Equifax. This results in WiFi connection errors. When I add the GeoTrust cert as an additional trust anchor, the problem goes away.
- The VBScript I use to install the WiFi profile is packaged inside a 7-Zip self extractor. The use of this self-extractor triggers the Windows "Program Compatibility Assistant", which in turn raises a "This program might not have installed correctly" error after the tool runs. This problem is corrected by embedding a "manifest" file into the tool. Typically, this is done using the "mt.exe" tool included in the Windows SDK. Unfortunately, MT.exe corrupts self-extracting 7-Zip archives (this also is a known problem with WinRAR, and perhaps other similar tools). Fortunately I was able to work around the problem using "Resource Tuner" from Heaventools. I needed to add "trustInfo" and "compatibility" sections to the manifest. My blog engine is really bad about posting XML content in a page, so I will forego posting the manifest here. You can find sample manifests pretty easily though Google.
- When we run the packaged configuration tool, we get a warning that the application package is unsigned and may not be trustworthy. I used "signtool.exe" from the Windows SDK to add a signature to the executable, so now it is considered somewhat more trustworthy. Good instructions on the use of signtool.exe can be found here:
I am using a code signing cert that we obtained from the InCommon.org certificate service, hosted by Comodo. It works.
- Finally, I updated the profile installer VBScript to make reconfiguration a bit easier (subroutines were converted to functions so that variables set at the start of the script can be passed down to the function. We then can set things like the trust anchor name, WiFi network name, and log file name at the start of the script where they are more easily edited. Also, I removed support for Windows XP… no more Service Pack detection, Hotfix installation, or third-party profile installation utilities are needed by the script. I was able to hack the script down to about a quarter of its original size as a result. The new script is included below, for those who like that sort of thing…

Greg Mackinnon, University of Vermont ' Supported platforms: Windows Vista, 7, and 8 ' Requires external tools: "CertMgr.exe" (from the Windows Platform SDK) ' Requires external files: Root CA certificate file, ' WiFi XML configuration files for Vista+ Windows OS.

Palo Alto Online Sports
Competitors can only watch so much basketball before their nerve endings start to tingle and they start fidgeting for some action and grow antsy to get on the court and do a little playing themselves.
The top-seeded and second-ranked Stanford women's basketball could only watch the first two days of the Pac-10 tournament at the Galen Center on the campus of USC. They earned a double bye, with second-seed and seventh-ranked UCLA, because of their success over the course of the regular season.
The Cardinal (27-2) won't be playing at Galen, though. The semifinals and finals move over to the Staples Center and join the fun with the men's tournament.
It will have been eight days before Stanford plays a game again, and it didn't know the opponent until about 8 p.m. Thursday. That left about 16 hours to prepare.
Stanford plays the noon game Friday and it's almost guaranteed that the opponent will have clinched a 20-win season and will be motivated to add a 'good win' to its resume for the NCAA committee to consider.
The Cardinal will face Arizona (20-10) while the Bruins (26-3) with meet California (16-14). The winners will meet Saturday (11:30 a.m.) for the championship.
"I don't see any downside," Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer said of the extra rest. "We're one of the few conferences who play a double round-robin and, as it is, playing back-to-back games is new for us. You will never play on consecutive games in the (NCAA) tournament."
Whichever team survives the first two days at the Galen Center will have to pack up and move to the Staples Center for the showdown with the Cardinal. No team will have the advantage of having been on the court before.
"We're moving into a new arena and it's a great situation for us," said VanDerveer, who was voted Pac-10 Coach of the Year earlier in the week, the 11th time she's been so honored.
Stanford enters the weekend as the tournament favorite and Oregon State coach Scott Rueck sees no reason to argue with that.
"As good as the teams are in this conference, they are an elite team," Rueck said. "They don't have a weakness and they are so relentless. They are gearing up for a long run this month. It is March Madness and you do have to play the game. But, I think they are that much better."
Staples Center becomes the fourth venue to host the women's basketball championships, following Oregon's MacArthur Court, the HP Pavilion in San Jose and the Galen Center.
The week-long break (it's also dead week on the Stanford campus) can only help a player like junior Nnemkadi Ogwumike, who returned to the lineup in the regular season finale after missing a couple of games with a sprained ankle.
"Nneka is ready for a breakout tournament," said VanDerveer. Those are not exactly the words opposing coaches want to hear. Ogwumike was the Pac-10 Player of the Year last season, though she joined Freshman of the Year Chiney Ogwumike, and seniors Jeanette Pohlen and Kayla Pedersen on the 15-player all-Pac-10 team.
Pohlen was voted the conference Player of the Year this time around.
"First and foremost Jeanette has really improved," VanDerveer said. "She's still working on a lot but she has come a long way with her leadership and her ability to run the offense."
Pohlen, who was turned into a point guard last year after injuries depleted the position, rose to the occasion this season. She helped freshmen like the younger Ogwumike and Toni Kokenis blend into the system and got them involved.
"Chiney and Toni are two freshmen who have stepped up," VanDerveer said. "Melanie Murphy and Lindy La Rocque have also improved and we're getting contributions from Sarah Boothe and Josyln Tinkle."
With the possibility of up to five teams with at least 20 wins, the semifinals could be a little more competitive than a quick glance would indicate. As for any Pac-10 team other than Stanford and UCLA reaching the NCAA party, VanDerveer said Arizona State, Arizona and USC are all worthy.
"It depends on who wins the tournament," VanDerveer said. "UCLA and ourselves are a lock, Arizona State has some good wins, Arizona is coming on strong and USC is certainly deserving. I don't know what others say but the Pac-10 has done a great job of preparing us for the NCAA tournament. We have good teams in our conference."
California has a legitimate chance to reach the WNIT tournament, and the Bears might have done that by upsetting Arizona State on Thursday.
After securing its 11th consecutive Pac-10 regular-season title and its second straight undefeated conference season with a 74-51 victory over California, VanDerveer gave her team three days off before refocusing on the road ahead.
"We're rested, excited and working hard," VanDerveer said. "We're looking forward to the tournament."

The Kappa Child
Red Deer Press, 2001 - Fiction - 278 pages
James Tiptree Jr. Memorial Award for Science Fiction and Commonwealth Writers' Prize Winner, 2001
Sunburst Award Nomination for Canadian Literature of the Fantastic, 2002
From the award-winning author of Chorus of Mushrooms, which won the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book in the Caribbean and Canadian Region and was co-winner of the Canada Japan Book Award, The Kappa Child is the tale of four Japanese Canadian sisters struggling to escape the bonds of a family and landscape as inhospitable as the sweltering prairie heat.
In a family not at all reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie, four Japanese-Canadian sisters struggle to escape the bonds of a family and landscape as inhospitable as the sweltering prairie heat. Their father, moved by an incredible dream of optimism, decides to migrate from the lush green fields of British Columbia to Alberta. There, he is determined to deny the hard-pan limitations of the prairie and to grow rice. Despite a dearth of both water and love, the family discovers, through sorrow and fear, the green kiss of the Kappa Child, a mythical creature who blesses those who can imagine its magic...

Safe at School
Our Safe at School Campaign works to make sure that the diabetes management needs of students are met so they are healthy and safe when they are at school, and all school sponsored activities. By working as a team, families, health care providers, and school staff can make this a reality.
Younger and newly diagnosed students depend on school staff to monitor blood sugar and administer insulin. Others need support as they self-manage. And all students need trained school staff who can recognize and treat high and low blood glucose and administer emergency glucagon.
View the 2018 Safe at School Back to School parent webinar here.
Help for Parents
Diabetes management is 24/7 and doesn't take a break during the school day. Schools need to provide proper care and support to help prevent life-threatening medical complications.
Help for Schools
The diabetes health care professional community strongly supports the training of non-medical school personnel to provide supplementary diabetes care in schools.
Join the Safe at School Campaign
Thousands of advocates across the country are working for the day when all children with diabetes receive fair treatment at school!

Don't tell Brian Urlacher, but the Bears aren't listening to him.
Bears coach Marc Trestman made it official Thursday, telling reporters that quarterback Jay Cutler would, in fact, start this week.
When asked about the risk of sitting a hot quarterback (backup Josh McCown), Trestman acted as if it wasn't a decision at all.
"This decision was made a long time ago," Trestman said, via Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune. "I don't look at it like that."
As efficiently as McCown has played in his absence (13 touchdowns, one interception, a 109.8 rating this year), Cutler's clearly the more talented quarterback of the pair. And he's also the one they're going to have to make an expensive decision on this offseason.
So even if it's just to take one last look at him to decide whether to allow him to go to the market, or to sign him to a long-term deal or franchise him, the Bears are going to put him back in there.

Our Payment Options
Many patients worry about paying for dental care, but fortunately at Waterford Lakes Dental, we offer a variety of payment options. Our mission is to make you feel comfortable throughout your visit and this goal includes paying for our dentist's services. Review the different payment methods we accept at our Orlando, Florida dental office and don't hesitate to ask us questions about any of these options.
Cash and Personal Checks
Paying with cash is one of the most common and reliable ways to cover dental care costs. Since cash payments can be faster and more convenient, many of our patients opt for this method.
We also accept personal checks at our dental office. Our staff is happy to provide you with any information you may need to complete the check accurately.
Credit Cards
Credit cards are another common approved method of payment at our office. We accept various types of credit cards, such as Visa and Mastercard. For a complete list of accepted types or to verify your card, contact our team directly.
Our office accepts CareCredit, a healthcare credit card that is used to pay for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by dental insurance. CareCredit is subject to credit approval, but once you are accepted, you can use it again and again. CareCredit is a great option if you're on a budget, in that you can pay for your dental expenses in installments. Ask us about CareCredit today! Applying is easy, and we are here to answer any questions.
There are various dental insurance plans today, and many of the plans fully cover or partially cover your basic dental work, including teeth cleanings, fillings, checkups and even necessary dental surgery. However, it is important that you verify if we are an accepted dental care provider for your insurance.
Since dental plans can vary in terms of services covered and accepted care providers, it is important that you talk with your insurance representative to understand your plan before your visit with us. Keep in mind that if your dental insurance only covers part of your services, you will have a balance remaining that you can pay for through our other payment options. If you are paying for your dental services through your insurance, please make sure to bring your insurance card and driver's license or another form of ID on the day of your appointment.
Determining Which Option is Right for You
With the number of payment options available at our dental office, you can choose the one that is most convenient for you. We want to make sure you always have a great experience when you visit, so if you need assistance choosing the payment method, our team is ready to help.

The Colorado-based marketing company Cravebox, which has just begun to work with publishers, is something of an oddity. It attracts consumers with a very old-fashioned offering, the gift box, and then engages them through a barrage of new media pushes. For book publishers, the company offers the possibility of building a new customer base, as opposed to reaching out to existing readers.
Cravebox is just over a year old and was cofounded by CEO Kitty Kolding, an entrepreneur whose previous job was overseeing a marketing firm called House Party Inc. That company, like Cravebox, offered consumers incentives built around marketing a product: it facilitated house parties, which would center on a food brand or book. The boxes Cravebox offers feature an array of products and are usually valued between $10 and $15. They are advertised online and via outreach to the company's existing membership, which includes roughly 200,000 people.
If a consumer finds out about a gift box of interest, he or she enters a drawing to win it. Cravebox then matches the entrants, demographically, with the best fit for the product being marketed. So, if the item is a book aimed at female baby boomers, Cravebox will focus on that group in selecting the winners, who do not pay for the box or shipping.
The number of boxes Cravebox ships can swing widely, depending on the size of the campaign. Once the boxes have been shipped, Cravebox will reach out directly to the recipients, inquiring about whether they liked the gift box and, of course, the main product in the promotion. The company will then engage with the gift box recipients on various social media platforms, from Twitter to Facebook to Pinterest, offering, in the case of books, opportunities to interact with the author and other readers. Finally, in an attempt to turn gift box recipients into evangelists for the product at the center of the campaign, Cravebox will offer prizes and incentives to those who start promoting the item on their own.
Currently the company's membership is largely women, and Cravebox claims that, even for a shipment under 10,000 boxes, it can create between 25 and 40 million "impressions." (A rep for Cravebox noted that impressions include the glimpsing of print ads, tweets, and Facebook posts—anything that puts a product in front of a consumer.)
For its first book campaign, Cravebox worked with St. Martin's Press on a promotion for Kaya McLaren's novel How I Came to Sparkle Again. The company offered a Book Lovers Cravebox, which featured the title along with three other products: strawberry licorice, a nut mix, and a charm bracelet. SMP signed up for 1,500 boxes and Cravebox said the overall "reach" of the campaign—from September 23 through October 23, 2012—was just over 1.3 million, with a total of over 41 million impressions. (The "reach" of a campaign, the Cravebox rep noted, is broken down by "uniques." This means that "if you saw three tweets, and one Facebook post, you would count as one for reach.")
Cravebox has worked with, in addition to SMP, Harlequin, Random House, and Hachette. Referring to campaigns with book publishers, Kolding said the company has "two more locked in, with four more in development." Currently all the campaigns are with major houses and have been for novels, though Cravebox will soon be working on a promotion for a diet book.

Day's Best: Colorado's Bennet and Udall call for confirmation of judicial nominee
With all the Washington hoopla over the fiscal cliff, it's easy to lose sight of other matters less likely to grab headlines but also important.
One of those is the nomination and confirmation of federal judges.
It was good to see Colorado's two U.S. senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet once again come out in support of the nomination of Raymond Moore, federal public defender for Colorado and Wyoming, to a federal court judgeship on the Colorado bench.
Moore, a Yale Law School graduate, brings an impressive resume and significant public service to the table. Moore worked for Denver law firm Davis Graham & Stubbs. He did a stint as an assistant U.S. attorney in Denver and has been with the federal public defender's office since 1992, ascending to his current position in 2003.
President Obama first nominated Moore in November, and renominated him Thursday, a move made necessary by the convening of the new congress.
Both Bennet and Udall strongly support Moore's nomination and have urged their colleagues to confirm Moore. Here's hoping the Senate takes their advice.

on November 4, 2012 - 10:17 PM
A local organization of rabbis has issued a statement condemning a former colleague's participation in High Holy Day services at Hillel of Buffalo, on the University at Buffalo North Campus in Amherst.
The statement by the Buffalo Board of Rabbis, sent at the end of October to the leaders of various Jewish organizations in Western New York, expressed "deep dismay and disappointment" that Rabbi A. Charles Shalman was invited to participate in a leadership role during Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services.
Shalman was expelled in 2008 from the Rabbinical Assembly over ethics violations related to an inappropriate relationship with a member of the Amherst synagogue where he served as rabbi, as well as previous allegations of misconduct dating from 1999.
"Clergy abuse is extremely serious, and is not 'just an affair' or 'an imperfection.' It is imperative that members of the clergy who have violated that trust be prevented from functioning in any way that might be perceived as being in the role of a rabbi," the statement reads.
Hillel hired Shalman for its High Holy Day services after a deal with another clergyman, Rabbi Keith M. Karnofsky, fell through.
Karnofsky subsequently was among a chorus of critics who objected to the hire and voiced concern that Shalman's presence on the pulpit was a potential danger to vulnerable female college students.
Karnofsky, a Jewish chaplain with the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, wrote a strongly worded letter to Hillel board Chairman Dan Lenard.
At the time, Lenard defended the hiring of Shalman, describing the rabbi as tremendously knowledgeable about Torah and deserving of a second chance.
"I still defend what I did, and so did my board," Lenard said. "This is a tempest in a teapot."
Lenard accused Karnofsky of being a "disgruntled employee" who was fired by the Hillel board and is now trying to get back at Lenard.
"It was his fault that this all happened in the first place," Lenard said.
Shalman did not pose a danger to any student and was "totally supervised" during his Hillel work, Lenard added.
Although well-received at the services, Shalman will not be doing them again next year because of the controversy, Lenard said.
"Maybe it wasn't a good idea, but it's over. It's water under the bridge. He's not our rabbi. He's not counseling our students," he said.
Karnofsky resigned as president of the Board of Rabbis last week, saying he was concerned and disappointed that the organization wasn't doing enough to inform UB students and their parents of Shalman's record and should be more forthcoming with information.
In a cover letter to its statement, the Board of Rabbis requested that recipients confine the contents "to those who are the community's decision makers."
"They want everything kept real quiet. I can't in good conscience keep it quiet," Karnofsky said. "The way to solve the problem for the future is making it public, exposing it to the light of day."
The Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, a group critical of the Catholic bishops' handling of clergy sex abuse allegations, also weighed in on the rabbis' statement.
SNAP President Barbara Dorris called it "better than nothing, but not much better. It's late, weak and, perhaps worst of all, it tragically perpetuates the dangerous and long-ago discredited notion that it's best to keep quiet about clergy sexual misconduct."
Dorris also said that secrecy "benefits the guilty and the manipulative" and "endangers the innocent and the trusting."
By resigning the presidency, Karnofsky said he can now be more vocal about the issue. Rabbi Alex Lazarus-Klein of Congregation Shir Shalom in Amherst, who succeeded Karnofsky as president Friday, acknowledged that the statement was not sent to news media but said that it wasn't a secret document, either.
"It was sent to all agency leaders," he said. "It's not something we're embarrassed about."
Lazarus-Klein also said the board was planning educational activities on the topic of sexual abuse.
"We're trying to prevent it from happening again," he said. "We have an obligation to protect community members as much as possible. … We do not take this issue lightly. It's with a great deal of gravity and sadness that we approach this."
Shalman served as rabbi of Temple Shaarey Zedek in Amherst from 1995 until his resignation in 2008, when he was accused by a member of the synagogue of having an inappropriately close relationship with the member's wife.
It was the second time in his tenure at Temple Shaarey Zedek that Shalman faced allegations of misconduct. In 1999, an investigation by the Rabbinical Assembly's ethics board concluded that Shalman had violated several principles of rabbinical conduct in his private counseling or teaching sessions with female members of the synagogue. The violations included improper touching and suggestive comments.
The congregation voted to retain Shalman, who had to undergo therapy and refrain from any future one-on-one teaching with women.
But following the 2008 allegation, the Rabbinical Assembly expelled Shalman, effectively meaning that synagogues affiliated with the Conservative Judaism movement cannot hire him.
Lazarus-Klein said the board has had "private meetings" with Shalman to discuss what happened.
Hillel tried to do its best in a difficult situation but erred in turning to Shalman, he said.
"It was a real last-minute decision made in haste," Lazarus-Klein said. "The Board of Rabbis will have more of a role on the Hillel board to be a support to them."

OK, we know that Optikk is the May 2010 figure. We also know that he's based on the original toy, but will feature two eyeballs, one based on the old art, the other based on the old toy.
However, in the episode 'The Games' near the end of the NA series, Optikk received a weapons upgrade from the Blacksmith of Crelus. He was given new armour and a deadly missile launcher. Do you think we will get this as a figure? Does Mattel even have the rights for this? Will you buy such a figure? Or will the NA haters start screaming that this will be "killin teh lien"?

Introducing… Fairuse.Emerson.edu!
Faculty have long been asking for help assessing the legality of using copyright materials in their classroom. This tool will help guide you through the things to consider while making your decision. After you are finished, you can print the results for your records.
Iwasaki Library Director Robert Fleming describes the situation:
Over the summer, the decision in the closely-watched copyright infringement lawsuit filed by publishers against George State University was handed down. In their complaint, the plaintiffs argued that the University had improperly posted copyrighted materials on a course management system without seeking permission from copyright holders. The decision, currently under appeal, found that almost all of the uses in question were within fair use. According to copyright expert Kenneth Crews, the decision underscores the importance of knowing how to conduct a fair use analysis. Crews also suggests that in today's legal environment, we need to be prepared to account for our actions.
In response, staff members from IT, ITG and the Iwasaki Library have developed a new tool to assist faculty members in conducting a fair use analysis. It can be found at http://fairuse.emerson.edu. Originally envisioned as a tool to assist faculty members who wanted to post clips from films on Median, the language has been broadened so that it can be used by faculty who are considering the use of copyrighted materials from books and journals as well. Questions about the tool and how to use it should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chronicle coverage of the decision can be found here: http://chronicle.com/article/Long-Awaited-Ruling-in/131859/.

This Bald Eagle was seen in Washington County recently by a local citizen who reported it to The Springfield Sun. The location of the bird is not being released for its protection. According to Kate Hayden, an avian biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife, there are only 84 pairs of nesting eagles in Kentucky.
Some boys that hunt by the Beech River are trying to make it big by talking turkey.
Well, kind of.
Three friends, Brandon Coslow, Steven Yaste and Stephen Parrott, started Beech River Game Calls a few years ago, and are picking up steam in the turkey- call world.
They make turkey calls of all kinds, and have even added something new to the market.
Luther Bramblett's Patriot baseball team played five games last week and nearly completed the week unblemished.
The Bat Pats won four games over the weekend, and ended with a tie last Tuesday at Asbury University.
The 4-0-1 week left St. Catharine with a 9-7-1 record after they started 1-7 on a southern road trip to start the season.
The week's action started with a 13 inning contest at Asbury that ended in a 6-6 tie.
J.T Burton is acutely aware of the pitfalls that can accompany any post-season conference tournament.
But the St. Catharine College head coach is also confident, after two impressive wins last week, that his Patriots are playing their best basketball of the season as they enter Mid-South Conference tourney action Friday in Frankfort.
The St. Catharine College women faced two tough opponents at home to close out the regular season.
Lena Bramblett's team came out on the short end with an 80-67 loss to Cumberlands on Thursday, and a 76-54 setback to Lindsey Wilson on Saturday.
The two defeats gave the Patriots a final regular season slate of 11-19 overall, and 6-12 in the conference.
They hoped to regain some of their lost momentum with a win Monday night in a Mid-South Conference play-in game against UVA-Wise.
With Saturday's win over Lindsey Wilson, the St. Catharine College Patriots secured the second seed in the upcoming Mid-South Conference tournament at the Frankfort Convention Center.
J.T. Burton's squad will tip off Friday at 4 p.m. against the winner of the West Virginia Tech/ Rio Grande game that will be played Monday in West Virginia.
The Patriots will take a 20-7 overall record into the tournament, and a 14-4 conference slate which put them one game behind Georgetown in the regular season.

Towering at well over six-feet tall, Kenya Turner gains a lot of attention on the basketball court.

Turner, a Washington County High School sophomore, was recently named to the Fifth Region all-region team as voted on by the Fifth Region Coaches Association.
Turner received 15 out of a possible 16 votes to earn a spot on the team.
Elizabethtown senior Natalie Greenwell was named Fifth Region player of the year.

With the rapidly expanding Team Sky thread, many different issues were being discussed.
- Do Sky have a team wide doping regime? (best kept in the Sky thread)
- Is Bradley Wiggins' improvement through blood sweat and tears or cheating? (Wiggins a man in love thread?)
- Chris Froome - where did that come from?
This thread is for the latter if you think it would be easier reading if the different issues were split up. For example, some believe Froome is likely doping, but that there isn't much to suggest the rest of the team are.
Froome rose to prominence in the 2011 Vuelta where his ability to singlehandedly guide Bradley Wiggins through numerous steep hills and mountains initially raised eyebrows. Later in the race a mightily impressive ITT followed despite Froome continuing his energy sapping shepherding of Bradley Wiggins. In the final moments of the Vuelta, Froome was released from the shackles of Wiggins, first on the Angliru and finally on a decisive stage that saw Froome and Cobo gain 20 seconds+ on every other person on the stage in the last kilometre with a sprint up 20% gradients. Froome had announced his presence to the world and finished second overall.
Taken at face value, his performance in terms of balancing pacesetting and domestique duties for Wiggins, aceing an ITT and managing to rival the dubious Juan Jose Cobo on the steepest of gradients was arguably one of the most impressive and hard fought in recent years.
Explanations for that performance and his subsequent assault on the podium of the 2012 TdF remain, as yet, unclear.
The link below is to previous discussion on Froome that isn't in the Clinic but touches on much of the relevant historic debate from the 2011 Vuelta.
