Arthur Fong Kaff of Bel Air has been appointed to the Harford County Board of Education to fill the vacancy caused by the sudden death in September of the board's president, Dr. Leonard Wheeler.
Gov. Martin O'Malley announced the appointment Kaff on Thursday, along with the appointment of Jan Stinchcomb of Abingdon to a seat on the Harford Community College Board of Trustees.
According to background information supplied by the governor's office, Kaff is a lawyer who serves as an attorney advisor in the Ethics, Legislation and Government Information Practices Branch in the Office of the Judge Advocate General Headquarters for the Department of the Army. He is also a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves, where he serves as Staff Judge Advocate at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

He was active in the Asian Law Students Association and the Student Bar Association.
Kaff and his wife live in Brierhill Estates with their three children who attend Harford County public schools.
Stinchcomb serves as vice provost for undergraduate studies and faculty for the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore. She joined MICA as a faculty member in 1986 and has overseen the comprehensive management and coordination of MICA's undergraduate programs since 2006. In addition to teaching at MICA, Stinchcomb has also held the positions of dean of undergraduate studies and faculty, associate dean of academic affairs and foundation chair.
Stinchcomb earned an associate's degree at Harford Community College, a bachelor of fine arts degree, summa cum laude, from the Maryland Institute of Art and a master of fine arts degree from Queens College, City University of New York. She recently completed an educational management program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Stinchcomb has been involved in community planning efforts in Harford County since 1991. She served on then-Harford County Executive Eileen Rehrmann's Futures Growth Study Task Force in 1997 and was a member of the Coastal and Watershed Resources Advisory Committee from 2000 to 2001.

I've got some very good news to share. Thanks to many years of work by CI, Kiribati and partners, the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA) was just inscribed as a World Heritage Site at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) meeting in Brazil. PIPA is now the world's largest World Heritage Site.
UNESCO, which works to "preserve humanity's irreplaceable riches: its diversity and shared heritage," inscribed 21 new natural and cultural sites this week, including PIPA and its sister site, Hawaii's Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. Together, the two sites make up about 25 percent of the world's total marine protected area (MPA) territory.
Located between Fiji and Hawaii in the central Pacific (see map), the Phoenix Islands are part of Kiribati, the largest atoll nation in the world. Kiribati's three island chains cover a land area of only 811 square kilometers (313 square miles), but its ocean territory contains over 3.5 million square kilometers (more than 1.3 million square miles). Designated in 2006, PIPA is the largest MPA in the Pacific; in 2008, it was extended to over 400,000 square kilometers (155,000 square miles – about the size of California) of marine and terrestrial habitats.
PIPA is characterized by a large number of seamounts – submerged mountains that are thought to be extinct volcanoes. The MPA also helps to conserve one of the world's last remaining intact oceanic coral archipelago ecosystems, which shelters more than 800 marine and bird species.
CI works closely with the Phoenix Islands, providing funding and technical assistance through our Global Conservation Fund and Pacific Islands Program; together with partners, including the New England Aquarium, our work helped lead to the establishment of the MPA. CI President Dr. Russ Mittermeier and CI-Samoa Marine Program Director Sue Taei served on the Kiribati delegation during this UNESCO meeting, helping bring to fruition the work and investments of many individuals, organizations and nations over the past decade.
This new development for PIPA is a major step in conserving this remote area, and presents a unique opportunity to protect species and ecosystems of global importance from shallow to deep water.
Dr. Greg Stone is CI's senior vice president and chief scientist for oceans. In 2009, he led a science expedition to PIPA to help support the designation of the MPA as a World Heritage Site; read his dispatches from the field.

To hear some parents tell it, you're going to need a year-end bonus from your boss to afford a class ring for your high school senior.
To hear some parents tell it, you're going to need a year-end bonus from your boss to afford a class ring for your high school senior.
The base price alone for a keepsake gold ring can be $300 to $400, which doesn't include any special inscriptions or decorative stones that can drive the final price point to the same neighborhood as a semester's worth of college textbooks.
Even for something that commemorates a teenager's rite of passage, that's a lot to shell out for parents on a tight budget or a student working part time.
Blame it on the cost of gold and other precious metals, which have climbed significantly over the past few years.
David Chivers understands what many parents are going through. He's the chief digital officer at Minneapolis-based Jostens Inc., which has been selling class rings since 1906. The company, also known for products ranging from school yearbooks to caps and gowns, annually sells about 600,000 rings to commemorate graduations, sports championships and other milestones.
"We recognize that class rings are a discretionary purchase for our customers," he said, "and we work very hard to keep our prices affordable."
The past few years have been challenging for Jostens and other specialty jewelry companies that rely on gold and other precious metals. Chivers said Jostens reviews its jewelry prices annually and tries to lock in the cost for gold and other materials up to 18 months in advance.
This fall, a ladies' gold class ring starts at $299.99, while the men's version starts at $399.99. Then there's the customized work - the color and karat quality of the gold, engraving, stone colors and cuts and more.
Does that break your budget?
To help stretch your dollars, Jostens offers a number of ring options besides gold, and there are installment plans for making the payments.
Silver rings start at $209.99, which is about 5 percent higher than two years ago. Rings made from non-precious metals have a base price of $69.99. Jostens said it has held the line on these prices for the past five years.
Of course, Jostens and other companies that contract with high schools and colleges are not the only option for buying a class ring. A number of retailers, including Walmart, also sell rings, so it pays to shop around.
Before writing the check, make sure your high school senior really plans to wear that cool bling after graduation. It's a lot of money to pay for something that could wind up collecting dust in a dresser drawer.
And if the gold ring loses some of its luster a few years from now, there's always a way out. Gold buyers will pay you something, depending on the karats, condition of the gold and the current price for the yellow metal at the time you sell it.

Nyquist's OT winner helps Red Wings even series with Ducks
Anaheim, CA – Gustav Nyquist's first career playoff goal came 1:21 into overtime to help the Detroit Red Wings take a 5-4 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 2 of this Western Conference quarterfinal series.
Detroit had blown a three-goal lead in the third period, but went into overtime on the power play as Sheldon Souray was whistled for slashing with 38 seconds to play in regulation.
With time winding down on the man advantage, Daniel Cleary passed the puck from the right corner over to the right circle for Valtteri Filppula, who skated down low before sending it back to the left wing where Nyquist fired it in for the win.
"That was a huge goal for us and good for Gustav. Hopefully we can move forward. That was good, coming here and getting the split and going back home now," Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader said.
Damien Brunner had a goal and two assists, Johan Franzen tallied twice while Abdelkader also scored for the seventh-seeded Red Wings, who evened this best-of-seven series at 1-1. Jimmy Howard made 28 saves.
Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu each posted a goal and an assist, while Bobby Ryan and Ryan Getzlaf scored for the second-seeded Ducks, who got 27 saves from Jonas Hiller -- including a game-saver late in the third period on Pavel Datsyuk.
This series heads back to Detroit for the next two games, with Game 3 set for Saturday night.
Detroit got off to a quick start as Abdelkader scored 48 seconds in when his wrister from the slot tipped off the stick of Francois Beauchemin and went in, and it was 2-0 less than four minutes later as a pass through the middle in his own zone by Selanne saw it tipped by Kyle Quincey over to the slot where Brunner one-timed it home.
The Red Wings made it a 3-0 game at 1:04 of the second on the power play as Brunner's shot from the low left side was stopped, but Franzen snuck in the rebound.
Anaheim, though, got back in it with a power-play goal at 10:53 of the second after Selanne's shot from the left circle was stopped, but the rebound kicked out to the right and Koivu snuck it in.
The Red Wings made it a three-goal game 20 seconds into the third on the power play as Franzen took a pass from Henrik Zetterberg in the right corner and wrapped it in from the right side.
Anaheim, though, rallied with the next three goals to send the game to overtime.
"I think you're mostly disappointed every time you lose. And when you do come back to tie it, and lose it, is a little more disappointing," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said.
At the 7:50 mark, Getzlaf made it a 4-2 game when he brought the puck out from the left side of the net and from the slot he was able to get a backhand past Howard.
Less than five minutes later, the Ducks cut the margin to one as Nick Bonino sent a turnaround pass from the top of the left circle over to the right circle where Kyle Palmieri's shot was tipped by Selanne and past Howard.
The Ducks capped the comeback with 2:22 to play as Cam Fowler sent a short pass from the low left side to the circle where Ryan one-timed it home.
Game Notes
Datsyuk and Palmieri each posted two assists in the game ... This is the fifth time these two sides are meeting in the playoffs and each team has won two series ... Detroit was 3-for-6 on the man advantage while Anaheim went 1-for-5 ... Detroit took two of three in the regular season against Anaheim.

The Georgetown Working League Fair, a staple of Georgetown summers for a century, celebrated its 100th birthday this past Saturday, August 10. The Working League began as a women's group at the First Baptist Church in Georgetown, but has evolved over the years as a service organization devoted to raising money for the betterment of the community. The major fund raisers are the fair — traditionally held on the 2nd Tuesday of August, but moved this year to the second Saturday (a change much debated in the league), and the design and execution of an heirloom quilt, all hand-made by the master quilters of the league.
The fair consists of a large "white elephant" sale (of lightly used toys, nick-nacks, household items, and miscellany), a bountiful luncheon of lobster or chicken salad (served with focaccia, fruit, macaroni salad, blueberry cake, and a drink, all for $12!), an extensive sale of art works by local artists, a kid's tent with face painting, stories, music, and an entertainment tent with music continuing throughout the day.
Proceeds from the money-raising activities of the Working League support scholarships for local students, and grants by the League for various efforts to improve the community.

THOMASVILLE | Zach Brown was an integral part of the 2006 HiToms squad that won the first Petitt Cup championship in team history.
THOMASVILLE | Zach Brown was an integral part of the 2006 HiToms squad that won the first Petitt Cup championship in team history.
The Coastal Plain League team, which plays its home games at Finch Field in Thomasville, hopes Brown can help revive the franchise to that status once again.
Brown, who graduated from The Citadel and now serves as an assistant coach at Furman, liked what he saw on a warm Memorial Day afternoon watching the team practice — the HiToms open the season at Forest City on Tuesday, then hold their home opener Wednesday against Asheboro. "I love Thomasville, I loved playing here," Brown said. "And it wasn't just because of the short porch in right.
"It was a packed house most nights, a good crowd, the community really got into it. From what I hear lately, that hasn't been the case."
The team's success, since winning three straight league titles beginning with that 2006 season, has slipped slightly in recent years. The HiToms made the playoffs in 2011 but were eliminated in the first round, then finished 24-30 last season and did not qualify for the postseason.
"Hopefully, this team right here can bring those people back out," Brown added. "It's good for the town and it's good for these kids if they mesh.
"I felt like I was a superstar here. Everybody knew you, the whole town would come out to watch, and that was what made it fun. If nobody's here to watch you, it's kind of hard to perform well."
Brown and team president Greg Suire, along with assistant coaches Wilson Boyd (another former HiTom who played at Clemson) and Shelton Cisson (a teammate of Brown's on the 2005 HiToms squad who is an assistant at his alma mater, Erskine College), have assembled what looks to be a squad that can return the HiToms to their glory days. Three of the biggest names on the team's roster – outfielder Mike White, left fielder Coco Johnson and shortstop Sutton Whiting — are starters at Louisville. That means the HiToms will have to wait on the Cardinals to get knocked out of the NCAA tournament before they arrive. Louisville is set to host a regional this weekend, and could be playing a while.
Brown's eyes also lit up when he talked about pitching prospect Hassan Evans, who just completed his freshman year at Herkimer Community College in New York. "I'm really excited about Hassan Evans, he's a great athlete," Brown said. "He's got a big-time arm. They've had him up to 97, 98 (mph) on the bump, and he was a draft pick out of JuCo.
"He's a center fielder who can really run, very physical. I think he'll flourish in this league."
Another player who hopes to flourish this summer is Ledford graduate Victor Zecca, who played at Finch Field a few summers as a member of the Post 87 American Legion team. Zecca has been at UNC Pembroke, but has seen much less action than he'd like. He hopes this summer he can re-ignite his career.
"As a kid I'd always come out here and watch them play," Zecca said. "So, it's been a thing for me, I've always wanted to come here to play.
"I haven't played that much this year, but I played pretty good when I did play. I'm hoping I can prove this summer that I deserve to be out here and start."
With seven members of the team coming from teams like Louisville, North Carolina and other teams who could be playing in the NCAA tournament for a while, Brown said now's the time to shine for players like Zecca. "Now's the time to show what you can do," he said. "I'm not partial to big schools or little schools. I'm partial to guys who can produce and put up numbers, and help the team win."

After undergoing a cancer-preventive double mastectomy and breast reconstruction, Angelina Jolie will follow up with surgery to remove her ovaries, according to a report in People magazine.
Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at age 56 after fighting the disease for a decade, and doctors said Jolie had a 50% chance of developing the same, the actress revealed in an op-ed this week in the New York Times.
The 37-year-old mother of six said she and her children have often discussed "Mommy's mommy."
"I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us," she wrote. "They have asked if the same could happen to me. I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene, BRCA1, which sharply increases my risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer."
During the period from February to late April, when Jolie had double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery, "life was normal" for the kids, a source told People.
Brad Pitt explained his fiancee's decision to go public with her ordeal in an interview with USA Today and praised how she went on with her work while the process was in progress.
"She could have stayed absolutely private about it and I don't think anyone would have been none the wiser with such good results. But it was really important to her to share the story and that others would understand it doesn't have to be a scary thing. In fact, it can be an empowering thing, and something that makes you stronger and us stronger."
He and the kids dealt with Mom's surgeries in their own way, he said.
"We set up our own little post-op recovery that became pretty fun. You make an adventure out of it."

Presumed Ignorant!: Over 400 Cases of Legal Looniness, Daffy Defendants, and Bloopers from the Bench
Dell Pub., 1998 - Humor - 216 pages
Oyez! Oyez! Here comes a hilarious expose of the most bizarre, outrageous, and hilarious acts ever perpetrated in the halls of justice. From the dumbest defenses ever dreamed up to the silliest law suits ever filed, it's an open and shut case of the law at its most lunatic.A Connecticut law forbids the sale of pickles which break or squish when dropped from one foot above the ground. "They should remain whole and even bounce." A defendant accused of theft showed up in court wearing his best suit in order to make a good impression. His dapper duds impressed the plaintiff most--the custom-made suit had been stolen from him! It is illegal for any driver of an automobile to be blindfolded while operating the vehicle in Birmingham, Alabama. A New York City inmate sued the correctional system for $8.5 million in damages because he smuggled a gun into prison--and then accidentally shot himself. And much, much more...Presumed Ignorant will make you laugh out loud at hundreds of the zaniest examples of our legal system in action.

U.S. District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer is leaving her mark on the state of Texas.
Collyer is one of three Washington D.C. judges overseeing the Texas redistricting case in federal court, and she issued a ruling last month that requires border states' gun shops to report multiple sales. Soon, she will have the Texas voter ID case in her court.
During two weeks of court testimony on redistricting, Collyer amusingly scolded lawyers and drew muted laughter in the gallery with her wit and cutting humor.
Sometimes her biting commentary was aimed directly at the Lone Star State, and its peculiar political system.
On the first day of the trial, as the Texas political system was being explained, an incredulous Collyer stopped proceedings and asked with astonishment if railroad commissioners, state appellate judges and "Texas Supreme Court candidates run as party candidates?''
Adam Mortara, the state's lawyer, confirmed all state judicial candidates are elected on party tickets in Texas.
Judicial candidates run in non-partisan elections in many states to protect the integrity of the bench. The Texas system has been controversial for decades and is opposed even by many judges who run on party tickets.
When Mortara told Collyer that Texas judges were elected on partisan slates, she exclaimed: "Holy cow!"
Collyer, a Maryland native, received a University of Denver law degree and was in private practice in Colorado before being appointed by President Ronald Reagan to chair the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission.
She later served as general counsel on the National Labor Relations Board before going back to private practice in Washington.
Collyer's first judicial tie to Texas came when she was appointed to serve on the federal bench in 2002 by Republican President George W. Bush.
She has been involved in high-profile cases, including the recent decision to uphold an order by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that gun shops and dealers in four Southwest border states report multiple gun sales.
The ruling was criticized by the National Rifle Association.
Legal experts say Collyer's judicial demeanor is like her colleagues on the federal bench in the District of Columbia.
"I think all of the D.C. District Court judges are very independent and tough-minded. They seem not to be particularly ideological," said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond School of Law professor.
The court's location in the nation's capital means a workload heavy with regulatory, political and government corruption cases. Tobias said the judges rise to the occasion and are hard to pigeonhole.
"She is representative and typical of that court: very independent, very smart judges," Tobias said.
Collyer turned off Internet access for the lawyers in the court on the final day of the redistricting trial because of the conduct exhibited by some of those same lawyers in a San Antonio federal court during negotiations on redistricting maps. Too much leaking to the blogosphere, Collyer said.
"I don't know who's talking to whom," she said. "But I will tell you that we very carefully turned off Wi-Fi in this court because I was so offended at the constant conversation that came out of San Antonio, some of which had to come from some aspect of the parties."
Although Collyer admonished lawyers several times during the proceedings, she also complimented them when testimony in the complex case concluded.
"Thank you for your patience," she said.

What, pray tell, was Jay Mohr thinking?
After appearing with Alyssa Milano at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Awards gala in Las Vegas, the "Suburgatory" actor reportedly went on the radio and slammed Milano's post-baby bod.
And he wasn't talking about "Melissa Milano," which is what he first called the "Mistresses" star on the air, according to various write-ups of the conversation, including one from the New York Daily News.
"She was one of the presenters," Mohr said. "She's very tiny, in height...It seems like she had a baby and said, 'I don't really give a s--t'...I read it on her gut."
He also said, per reports, "Somebody sat in the director's chair and was not wearing Spanx and I was like, 'Jesus Christ.'"
A number of responses would have been suitable in this particular case, but Milano went the classy route.
PHOTOS: Hollywood's hottest moms
"@jaymohr37 So sorry you felt the need to publicly fat-shame me," the rather smokin' 40-year-old tweeted on Christmas Day. "Be well and God Bless. Please send my love to your beautiful wife."
In response to the fans (and people with eyes) who immediately came to her defense, Milano added, "You're all lovely. Thank you for your kind words. #Appreciative."
Who's the boss now?
Looking at the pics of Milano in a one-shoulder red satin dress at the NASCAR banquet that accentuated her curves in the proper places, we're starting to wonder if Mohr spent the evening with fun-house glasses on.
The "beautiful wife" Milano was referring to is the lovely Nikki Cox, the former star of "Las Vegas" and Mohr's spouse of seven years.
Here's hoping she gave her hubby an etiquette lesson when he got home.

So... so far, I have been able to meet my bento challenge goals, and other meals have been ok. BUT...for some reason I'm having such a hard time getting my butt off the couch and exercising! My main excuse is that it's so cold outside, and the streets are often slushy or icy, etc...but I have all kinds of indoors gear, from exercise videos to Wii Fit and Wii DDR. But I still can't get moving.
Anyone else having similar problems? What gets you moving?

The three Neu-AN forces advanced towards their goal, engines burning in the cold space over New York. The fleets were hastily assembled from the main group, only a small detachment permitted for this assignment so the rest could focus on engaging the main Third Alliance fleet and orbital batteries. Both had been slowly worn down over the course of the past few days and although victory had seemed assured for the Neu-AN with the Praetorian's massive firepower and the arrival of the USA carrier group, the Third Alliance had one more ace up their sleeve. Their pleas to Brikthulhu had not fallen on deaf ears and now threatened all of their plans. Their mission would decide the fate of the entire Second Battle of New York.
Admiral Kendrick (Praetoria): Are you sure of the size of this fleet? The enemy we are going against seems to be very powerful. I attempted to obtain an Exodus Siege Dreadnought for our efforts, but the Fleet Admiral told me that all and the Inexorable were dedicated to suppressing fire from the orbital defense systems. If this mission was so important, why don't any of our bosses treat it so?
Admiral Kerr (Scythia): Appropriate force. Best we not waste too many ships and resources fighting against this new threat, and lose the main battle against the TA. We will stop this new menace before it starts.
Suddenly the monster came into view, along with a massive hole it had ripped in the brikverse, pink-sparkle radiation spilling over into the brikverse's dimension. Its massive eye stared at the fleet, and despite its lack of eyelids managed to pull off a glare.
Foolish minifig children of Lilith.
You have finally brought your inconsequential fleets to contest me,
To halt that which may never be halted.
Neither my father Adam nor my master Brikthulhu shall be displeased
At the destruction that shall be wrought upon your exiguous civilizations.
Your legacy shall live as corpses and wreckage.
And with that the abomination willed several sizable monsters into being, ripping them from their home dimension through sheer force of AT-field.
Every turn I shall summon more among Brikthulhu's lesser servants
And even their attacks shall rent and sunder your pitiful vessels.
When I am finished with you, my forces shall gain quantity
And destroy every metal hulk that orbits this base planet.
Admiral Walsh (USA): Wal, thass a sho'nuff trimenjus c-strin' yo' got thar, almost as long as mah dick! Fry mah hide!
Admiral Karr: Shut up Walsh. Anyway, our goal is to destroy that portal. In order to do that, we will need to kill that giant eyeball thing in front of us...somehow. After that we will mop up all the little bastards that crawled out. Is that clear?
I will stat-dump everyone with homebrewed rules for dreadnought superweapons, as well as Angel stats, and possibly Evangelist stats just in case, once all the spots are filled.FACTIONS

In coming across a question to be migrated to Mathematics, I accidentally migrated the question to the newly-out-of-private-beta Mathematica site.
This happened because when migrating to Mathematics, I used to just type "math" in the dialog for "off topic".
However, typing "math" in the "off topic" dialog box reduces the results two four options, the first being the Mathematica site:
Given that the Mathematica community uses "mma" as shorthand for Mathematica, let us use the same shorthand when migrating to Mathematica, and have "math" filter down to one choice.
(Note: I'm open to other options on this, as the general issue is the fact that "Mathematica" and "Mathematics" differ on the last letter and it's a pain point in the off-topic dialog).

FOOD- DISH- Trouble in paradise: Bartender toasts, takes tumble
On the Saturday before Mother's Day, Dish happened to be enjoying a frosty beverage at the new Cheeseburger in Paradise in Seminole Square when a stocky bartender climbed up and stood on the bar.
Dish had been watching the lively bar crew perform their Tom Cruise/Cocktail-style bottle flipping and tossing as they served the capacity crowd, but when the bartender awkwardly attempted to scale the bar, Dish began to worry. After several tries, he finally towered above us, shouting for attention, and proceeded to offer a toast to the mural of the setting sun painted on the wall– a Cheeseburger tradition, he said.
We all raised our glasses, and in keeping with the spirit of the day, chorused "To Mom!" Then, before we had even wiped our lips, the hapless mixologist plunged from the bar and broke his leg. The crowd gasped, but it had happened so fast and the place was so crowed that the rest of the bartenders were forced to work around their fallen comrade, stepping over and around him as he writhed on the floor.
Finally, an ambulance arrived, and the injured toaster was wheeled out through the restaurant, giving everyone the thumbs up as he disappeared through the front door. All in all, Dish thought both the staff and the customers handled the mishap gracefully.
Dish later called Cheeseburger's to find out how the poor guy was doing and to see whether the nightly toast to the setting sun would continue to be a Cheeseburger tradition locally. However, the manager on duty was as frosty as the beverage Dish had enjoyed, refusing to give up the name of the bartender, or his own, or even to comment on the incident at all.
Undeterred, Dish contacted Cheeseburger in Paradise corporate headquarters . Maybe Jimmy Buffett himself could shine some light on this! Alas, Dish was given the runaround; one woman told us someone would "definitely" call us back (no one did); then media relations manager, Anna-Marie Zazzero told us to submit an e-mail about the incident that "might or might not" be responded to. Not exactly the laid back response we'd expected from a place that likens a visit there to a "trip to an island fantasy." Anyway, we hope the bartender, whoever he is, is one the mend.
Bodo's goes plastic
In other news, theHook.net (our blog) reports some big news from Bodo's: they now take credit cards! Charlottesville's fastest-serving but slowest-evolving bagel chain has recently made a move. After 18 years of accepting only cash and checks, Bodo's Bagels has begun accepting credit cards for purchases. Signs went up two weeks ago at all three locations announcing the change."The world's going plastic- we're trying to get with the times," says owner Brian Fox, who implemented the change around May 11.
"The Corner store really pushed this," Fox explains, "because so many students carry only plastic." Fox says that he had resisted the change because serving inexpensive food requires speed, and old-fashioned card scanners might bog down the transaction. The new machines are "pretty instantaneous," says Fox, adding that sales under $25 require no signature. And while Bodo's alters its strictly scripted regimen in this way and others - remember how the place served warm brown water until switching to "BoJoe" coffee in the mid-1990s– certain things remain the same. For instance, buyers of a dozen bagels are often surprised to learn that they can get just three of the dozen sliced in half. Perhaps Bodo's has yet to invest in that $20 miracle known as the Bagel Guillotine. In case anyone thinks the 10-year effort to open the Corner location has over-taxed the owner's energy or that he's indifferent to the fact that self-slicing bagels is known as a key reason for Sunday morning emergency room visits, again Fox pleads speed. "Some of our services are limited because of speed," says Fox. "In order to be a good value, we have to be fast, and in the time it takes to slice a dozen bagels, we can make three sandwiches."
Samurai showdown?
With so many restaurants in town, can we handle two different restaurants with the same name? Such is the case with Sakura vs. Sakura.
In mid-May, Sakura, the Japanese steakhouse chain, opened a new restaurant at Hollymead Towncenter. The chain– founded in 1998 in Fredericksburg– now has 13 locations in Maryland and Virginia.
Meanwhile, the other Sakura (which, by the way, is the Japanese name for those ornamental cherry trees so familiar in Japanese art), Sakura Sushi & Noodle on the Corner– which opened in Charlottesville two years before the Sakura steakhouse chain was founded– is stuck taking phone calls from customers who think owner Wen Chen has opened a second location.
"Every day here people call to ask about the steak house," Chen laughs. "People say how happy they are that I've opened another place."
Despite his good humor, Chen thinks it might be worth seeking some legal advice about the situation. "I'm seeing my lawyer tomorrow," he reported. "Maybe I'll ask him about it."
'Cheeseburger' was no paradise for one of its bartenders the day before Mother's Day.

Browser-centric developers, web designers, developers, and users in general are being urged to put the latest Firesfox 4 Beta through its paces and test for themselves the latest enhancements to the popular browser. Mozilla says that the new release includes faster start-up time, improved bookmarking, and also makes complex animations smoother.
Firefox 4 Beta introduces new features such as App Tabs and Panorama to make it easier and more efficient to navigate the Web. The Mozilla Foundation's official blog says that the idea behind App Tabs is that some web sites are more like applications than web pages, such as Google Docs, webmail, Twitter and web-based feed readers. "These are sites that people often keep open all the time and App Tabs makes that easier and more efficient to do." Creative lead on Firefox Asa Raskin explains that Panorama is designed to make it easier to organize tabs into groups according to their subject matter and importance.
Firefox 4 Beta also includes performance enhancements to make everything faster from start-up time to page-load speed and the performance of web applications and games. Firefox Sync is integrated into the browser with Firefox 4 Beta, giving you access to your Awesome Bar history, bookmarks, open tabs, and passwords across computers and smartphones.
Firefox 4 Beta also enables developers to create fun web apps and websites. With full support for HTML5 features in Firefox 4 Beta, developers can create new ways for people to enjoy the web. This includes WebM and HD video, 3D graphic rendering with WebGL, hardware acceleration and the Mozilla Audio API to help create visual experiences for sound.
"We continue to improve and polish Firefox 4 Beta to ensure we deliver an awesome experience to our 400 million users around the world. We couldn't do this without the help of our beta testers and their feedback. Please continue to test Firefox 4 Beta on your favorite websites and report issues with anything from games, video and music to graphics and forms through the Feedback button on the browser. We want to hear how we can improve the features of Firefox 4 Beta and performance on specific sites," said Firefox director of product platform management Chris Blizzard.

Sequestrants are sometimes called bile acid resins or gels.
Sequestrants bind to
bile acids in the intestine and prevent them from
being reabsorbed into the blood. The liver then produces more bile to replace
the bile that has been lost. Because the body needs
cholesterol to make bile, the liver uses up the
cholesterol in the blood, which reduces the amount of LDL cholesterol
circulating in the blood.
Your doctor may recommend these medicines if there is a reason you can't take a statin for high cholesterol.
People who have the following
conditions should not take sequestrants:
Bile acid sequestrants can improve cholesterol levels, but they have not been proved to lower the risk of a heart attack or a stroke.
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Some of these medicines are a powder
that you mix with water, fruit juice, or milk. The powder can also be mixed with foods such as
applesauce, soup, cereal, canned fruits.
These medicines can make it harder for your body to use other medicines or vitamins. Tell your doctor
what other medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicine and vitamins. Your doctor might suggest that you take your other medicines 1 hour before or 4 hours after a bile acid sequestrant.
A heart-healthy lifestyle is important for lowering your risk whether you take medicine or not. This includes eating healthy foods, being active, staying at a healthy weight, and not smoking.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Big storm gives Gov. Corbett lift in approval ratings
HARRISBURG — Republican Gov. Tom Corbett's job approval rating rose as voters gave him credit for his handling of superstorm Sandy, a poll shows.
A poll Quinnipiac University released on Thursday found Corbett's job approval rating at 40 percent, with 38 percent disapproving, said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the university's polling institute. That left 22 percent of voters undecided or unwilling to answer.
It's Corbett's highest rating since March, when his job approval was at 41 percent, the poll showed.
Benefiting from positive views of his performance during the storm, which caused relatively minor damage in Pennsylvania compared with New Jersey and New York City, Corbett moved from negative ratings to a break-even standing with voters, Malloy said. His numbers were roughly within the poll's 2.5 percentage-point margin of error. The poll surveyed more than 1,400 Pennsylvania voters from Nov. 9 to 13.
Corbett talked numerous times with reporters at the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Headquarters during three days of storm responses. He later toured Southeastern Pennsylvania, which was hardest-hit and where hundreds of thousands of residents were without power.
Sixty-one percent of voters gave him a positive nod for storm management, compared with 74 percent who thought President Obama's handling of the hurricane was "excellent" or "good."
Overall, Corbett's approval/disapproval is 42-38 percent among men. Women split 37-37 percent, according to the poll. Republicans approve 61-16 percent, and independent voters split 37-37 percent. Democrats disapprove of Corbett's performance 54-26 percent.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-Two teams will look for their first conference victories of the season when the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's football team hosts Western New England in a New England Football Conference Boyd Division game Saturday evening. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. at Cressy Field.
The Corsairs are coming off a 26-0 loss to Plymouth State, and are 0-5 this season and 0-2 in the Boyd division, while WNEC fell to Plymouth State last week, 38-21 and is 1-4 and 0-2. . "We've talked to our team about the fact that last year, when we played them, we were 3-2 and a field goal away from being 4-1, and they were 0-5, and they beat us," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Mark Robichaud. "They were ready to play, and we weren't. This year, we need to be ready to play, and we are looking to return the favor."
The Golden Bears have lost each of their last four games, and have yielded an average of 40 points in each the their last three contests. "WNEC does a lot of things well, and they've had a lot of the same struggles that we've had," said Robichaud. "They've turned the ball over a lot, and they've played a very tough scheduled, including Curry and Plymouth State and Westfield State, which is one of the better teams on the other side of the conference."
Many of the Corsairs were not around when UMass Dartmouth lost to the Golden Bears last season. "Our team is hungry, their attitudes are great, even though we are 0-5," said Robichaud. "It's tough to draw too many parallels to last year, because we have so many new kids playing. The majority of our players were not on our roster last year, and WNEC did a great job against us."
WNEC quarterback Justin Walz has thrown for over 1000 yards in the first five games, while Mike Graham and J.J, Jachym have combined to gain 450m yards on the ground. "Walz is a very good athlete, he runs well and throws the ball well," said Robichaud. "He is their primary offensive threat. Our turnover ratio is the worst in the conference, which is completely unacceptable. We need to take better care of the ball, and take the ball away from our opponents. It's an old adage that you have to be able to take care of the ball; otherwise, it's hard to win the game. It changes field position, and forces you to defend a short field, which is tough." "
For the Corsairs, who have scored 19 points in five games and been shut in each of the last two weeks, success will follow when they reverse that trend. "We need to score some points," said Robichaud. "We have been playing from behind in virtually every game except Fitchburg, and we need to generate some enthusiasm. We need to score to get some momentum going on offense, which we really haven't had so far this season."
The Corsairs will hit the road next week to visit Salve Regina.

Gregory Clark, professor of Economics at UC Davis and author of The Son Also Rises: Surnames and the History of Social Mobility can see into your future.
Well, maybe not in the conventional sense – but, based on the research featured in his latest book, Clark thinks it's much easier to predict the trajectory of one's life based on the social status of his or her parents. Social mobility is a far more stalwart characteristic than we thought, an issue that Clark discusses at great length in this recent op-ed for PBS Newshour. In a country that's founded on the ideal of the "American Dream" and the possibility of rising in society, these revelations take on enormous importance and are subject to influence future public policy decisions.
"We can predict the majority of status variation among people at birth just from their lineage," Clark writes. In other words, our society's divergence of fortunes — which as Clark points out, isn't just about income, but also social status – is relatively fixed. That's something no one ever wants to talk about."
Clark says that, "underlying social status is inherited from parents as strongly and mechanically as height," and explains that rates of social mobility are reflected by the degree of similarity between children's social outcomes and those of their parents – a melange of earnings, education, wealth, and health. A family whose generations possess a weaker correlation between these factors thus places less emphasis on lineage, race, and ethnicity for the next generation, when children become free to produce a fresh set of social outcomes. Alternately, a family in which children and their parents possess greater similarities is more capable of predicting the social status of its progeny.
Clark's essential point lingers on the incredibly slow nature of social mobility. Fortunately, though, he's able to leave off with some encouraging news: there is "considerable evidence that the biological inheritance of talent and drive is what underlies most of the correlation between the social status of parents and children," and that "whatever the social system — Communist China or Republican Texas — families of greater social competence will navigate themselves to the better social positions." Change is uniquely possible for those with the tools and motivation to enact it.

Paul uses suit to boost campaign
Rand Paul's move to sue the National Security Agency is his latest expression of outrage about government overreach and invasion of privacy.
It's also an unusual play by the likely presidential candidate to advance his political ambitions.
Story Continued Below
Largely unnoticed in Paul's effort is this: the names and email addresses of anyone who registers support for his class-action suit against the NSA goes straight into the Kentucky Republican senator's political database, which he could leverage into a campaign.
( QUIZ: Do you know Rand Paul?)
It's one of the most high-profile attempts yet by a potential 2016 White House candidate to link a specific policy debate to unabashed campaign politics, and strategists say it's a smart way to bulk up his campaign list and energize his base. Legal success or failure aside, Paul supporters view the effort as a chance for him to drive the conversation on a hot-button issue while honing his brand as a small-government champion and making overtures to young voters, a group he's betting cares deeply about protecting privacy.
Some observers, however, call the move more political than anything else — a somewhat gimmicky gambit on a serious subject with questionable chances of effecting legal change.
Paul, who's up for reelection to the Senate in 2016 but is widely thought to be weighing a presidential bid, announced earlier this month that he is pursuing the lawsuit following revelations of extensive NSA data-gathering, including of phone records and other information. Signing up to support the court action takes place on Paul's campaign website — RandPaul2016.com — as well as on his non-governmental Facebook page and at RandPAC.com, though joining the petition doesn't automatically make one a party to an eventual suit.
"We think what the government is doing now is overreach," Paul told POLITICO in an interview Thursday, referring to the NSA's mass collection of data. "We don't think we can allow the president, who's allowed this overreach, to be the one to police [it] himself."
On Friday, he issued a statement dismissing President Barack Obama's new NSA reform proposals as "the same unconstitutional program with a new configuration" and pledged to press on with the lawsuit as well as an act he's pushing in Congress.
Paul's advisers say that mounting the class-action petition through official Senate channels would be difficult, which is why they are utilizing campaign sites, and they stress that the lawsuit is not being paid for with taxpayer dollars. A senior Paul adviser acknowledged, however, that people who sign on to the effort also will be added to the campaign's lists for use down the road.
"This could have been done through some other named website," the adviser said. "We did it straight up. Go to RandPaul2016.com or RandPAC.com to sign up. They know who they're giving their name to. It's a couple hundred thousand people who obviously care about this issue, care about Rand taking action on this issue. [We're] sure there are other things they'll care about." (As of earlier this week, the adviser put the signature count at more than 300,000.)
One missive from Paul that's featured prominently on the campaign sites reads: "I'm OUTRAGED — and I'm going to do everything I can to END this madness." It concludes with a call for "a generous donation … to stop Big Brother." The donations go to the Paul campaign, though the senior adviser wasn't able to provide fundraising numbers directly resulting from the class-action efforts.
( Also on POLITICO: Obama on NSA: A reluctant reformer)
Benjamin Wittes, a legal expert on national security issues at the Brookings Institution, said that from what he knows about the lawsuit so far, "it will accomplish absolutely nothing" because the general argument "essentially duplicates litigation" already underway in the courts. He noted that could change depending on what argument Paul's team advances or whether it joins with other pending litigation, but said that for now, the lawsuit appears to be more "a way of expressing substantial political discontent."
"It's a way of…forcing the administration to talk about things," Wittes said. "There's a lot of value — I don't say this pejoratively — from a PR point of view in having the litigation. If (they filed) early in the process, it could be the leading edge of the mechanism by which this gets decided. But I think it's going to be more the former than the latter."
On a tactical level, veteran digital campaign strategists said Paul's approach is savvy and forward-looking, and they noted that it differs from that of several of his potential opponents, who have tended to shepherd supporters through PACs or generic campaign sites that make no mention of the next contest or aren't yet fully functioning.
For instance, ChristieforNJ.com, New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie's 2013 campaign website, is defunct for now. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has a PAC called "Reclaim America," a title that doesn't mention the senator, or the next contest. TedCruz.org allows visitors to sign up to "stand with Ted," but doesn't suggest when the Texas Republican senator will need their support.

Clarence Thomas shocked many U.S. Supreme Court observers today when he uttered his first phrase during oral arguments in nearly seven years.
Still, Thomas wasn't actually asking a question.
The transcript doesn't capture his entire sentence, but reports have indicated he spoke up to mock his alma mater Yale Law School.
There may be a reason why Thomas is loath to ask questions.
The Supreme Court's most silent justice spoke at an event in Charlotte, N.C. over the summer, revealing that he would do away with oral arguments if he could change anything about the Supreme Court process, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Thomas spoke at the unveiling of a portrait of David Sentelle, who's a chief judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia and an ex-Charlotte resident.
"In Judge Sentelle I discerned a fellow displaced Southerner," said Thomas, a Georgia native, according to the Observer.
Thomas has defended his years-long stint of silence, pointing to his Southern background as a possible explanation, according to an April report by the Associated Press.
"I don't see where that advances anything," Thomas said at a speech in April, referring to asking questions. "Maybe it's the Southerner in me. Maybe it's the introvert in me, I don't know. I think that when somebody's talking, somebody ought to listen."

Web2Energy will be executed with three milestones and seven work packages within three years. All activities are coordinated by work package 7 "Project Management".
The first milestone "Concepts and strategies" contains the work package 1:
- Evaluation of the technical data of all clients of the Smart Grid
- Definition of the data to be exchanged
- Communication links to connect the clients
- Strategic-technical concepts
- Aggregation of the virtual power plant, operation and market participation
- Introduction, visualization and billing of dynamic tariffs
- Automation and remote control of a 20 kV loop
- Data management and new tasks of the control centre
The first milestone will be finalized at the end of 2010.
Within the framework of the second milestone "Design, Installations and Module test", three work packages will be handled at once.
In work package 2, all information to be exchanged will be modeled in IEC 61850 telegrams. If necessary, extensions of data models of IEC 61850 will be developed and brought into the standardization process. Furthermore, the mapping of the application layer (data model and services) to various physical layers will be defined and brought into the IEC working groups. (The application of IEC 61850 in the substation is based on 500 MBd optical Ethernet.) The development of communication via IEC 61850 will be executed for meters and remote terminal units.
Work package 3 deals with the architecture of the communication network of HEAG Medianet. If necessary, new methods will be implemented to make communication faster, more reliable and more secure.
In work package 4 a control centre will be developed which is applied only for project purposes and operates in parallel with the existing control centre. It will communicate with IEC 61850 and will provide data management in accordance with IEC 61968. This control centre will provide supervision and control of the three pillars of smart dirtribution.
Within milestone 2, all new developed components of the smart grid system are tested and released by the end of 2011.
The last milestone "Operation and benefit evaluation" contains work package 5 "System integration, test and trial operation" and work package 6 "Continuous operation and exploitation experience".
Work package 5 ends with a public demonstration of the new capabilities of the distribution network in June 2012. During the subsequent continuous operation until December 2012 more experience will be made and benefits evaluated. Furthermore, a concept will be developed of how the new technical solutions can be integrated into the regular operation of the Distribution network operator Rhein-Main-Neckar GmbH & Co. KG.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On Saturday, the Yale men's fencing team soundly defeated Sacred Heart and Drew in a final tune-up before the Ivy League Championships. The Bulldogs hosted the meet in the seventh-floor fencing salon in Payne Whitney Gymnasium. Before a supportive hometown crowd, the Elis defeated Sacred Heart by a final score of 16-11 and Drew by a final score of 21-6. The victory against Drew was an improvement of six wins over last year, while the victory against Sacred Heart was an improvement of one win over last year.
"These were two very solid victories and it was good to see us win at home in our final home meet of the year," said captain Andrew Holbrook. "However, these were also two of the weakest schools we fence. As we move into the weeks before Ivies, it will be important that we remain focused and work to maintain the intensity that we have had so far this year."
The wins bring Yale's season record to 11-2, which is now the third-best record of any fencing team in the country. It is also the best record that the Bulldogs have compiled in recent memory.
Of note was William Zhao's 3-0 record against Drew, which led the way for the Bulldog saber squad. Additionally, in an unprecedented turn of events, all seven Yale foilists participated in the win against Drew, allowing many Bulldogs the opportunity to share in the winning experience.
The Elis also took full enjoyment of the home-field advantage and the supportive Yale fans.
"The fan turnout on Saturday was huge," said team manager Thomas Bell. "The support meant a lot to us since Sacred Heart brought a group of their own fans, but they were outnumbered and outyelled by the Yale crowd."
The Bulldogs will continue their season with the first portion of the Ivy League Championships on Feb. 21 at Cornell University.

Over the last ten years, drones have become a critical tool in the war against terrorist and militant organizations worldwide. Their advantages over other weapons and intelligence systems are well known. They can silently observe an individual, group, or location for hours on end, but take immediate action should a strike opportunity become available--all without putting a pilot at risk. This combination of capabilities is unique and has allowed the United States to decimate the leadership of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and disrupt the activities of many other militant groups.
Yet, as Micah Zenko writes in this Council Special Report from the Center for Preventive Action (CPA), drones are not without their drawbacks, especially with regard to targeted killings. Like any tool, drones are only as useful as the information guiding them, and for this they are heavily reliant on local military and intelligence cooperation. More important, significant questions exist about who constitutes a legitimate target and under what circumstances it is acceptable to strike. There is also the question of net utility: To what extent are the specific benefits derived from drone strikes offset by the reality that the strikes often alienate the local government and population? And there is the reality that drones are proliferating but, as is often the case with new technologies, the international legal and regulatory framework is lagging behind.
More on:
Terrorism and Counterterrorism
Zenko puts forward a substantive agenda. He argues that the United States should end so-called signature strikes, which target unidentified militants based on their behavior patterns and personal networks, and limit targeted killings to a limited number of specific terrorists with transnational ambitions. He also calls Congress to improve its oversight of drone strikes and to continue restrictions on armed drone sales. Finally, he recommends that the United States work internationally to establish rules and norms governing the use of drones.
Reforming U.S. Drone Strike Policies raises an important and underexamined set of issues. It analyzes the potentially serious consequences, both at home and abroad, of a lightly overseen drone program and makes recommendations for improving its governance. The result is a provocative report that is well worth reading and contemplating.

Speaking of Dancing
|[19 October 1787]
"I don't think I ever laugh't so much in my life as I did last night at Captain Grigg's minuet. I wish you could see him. It is really the most ludicrous thing I ever saw; and what makes it more so is, he thinks he dances a most delightful one...."
Lucy Lee Orr Journal of a Young Lady in Virginia, 1782. Pecatone, p 37.
|"In assemblies or places of public resort, when we see a person of a genteel
carriage or presence, he attract our regard and liking... and an air of ease will more
distinguish a man from the crowd... [quoting from John Locke] Nothing... appears... to
five children so much becoming confidence and behavior and so to raise them to the
conversation of those above their age, as dancing. I think they should be taught to
dance as soon as they are capable of learning it...."
Gallini, Giovanni-Andrea. A Treatise on the Art of Dancing.
London, 1762;
|"At the Court-House in Williamsburg, on Thursday the 31st of October, I
purpose to have a Ball for my Scholars: Such Gentlemen and Ladies who are pleased to
favour me with their Company, may have Tickets at Half a Pistole each, at Mr. Finnie's,
or from
Their most obedient humble Servant,
N.B. The Doors will be open at Six o'Clock."
Virginia Gazette, 24 October 1751.

|"No Lady to be admitted in a nightgown and no gentleman in boots.
Dancing is to begin precisely at 5 o'clock afternoon in the winter.
Each set not to exceed ten couples to dance but one country dance.
Couples to dance their minuets in the order they stand in their individual sets.
No dance to begin after 11 at night.
No tea, coffee, negus or other liquor to be carried into the dancing room."

This Ground Blessed by Holy Ritual and Tender Prayer is Sacred Ground.
Catholic cemeteries in any given location generally are owned or controlled by the diocese or archdiocese for that area. The good news is that all of the major dioceses and some not-so-major ones have web pages devoted to their Catholic cemeteries. But these websites vary in terms of the genealogical information one will find there. Most will at least include a note about the diocese's policies and procedures for genealogical research. My (less-than-scientific) canvass of diocesean procedures indicates that many will respond to mail requests for information and charge a small fee for the service. Many dioceses have PDF forms online for genealogical requests or direct email access for questions. Some dioceses will give this information free of charge. The Diocese of Brooklyn, New York, however, charges hefty fees ranging from $75 for gravesite locations to $120+ for lists of family members in the same grave. (Brooklyn's bishop charge s$300+ for "extensive corporate/legal genealogy," and what's wrong with that? Nothing!)
Several dioceses have come into the 21st century, with searchable databases for their cemeteries.
Two of the better searchable databases can be found in the Archdiocese of St Louis and the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Other U.S. dioceses with searchable cemetery records online include:
Archdiocese of Seattle
Diocese of Fresno (Calif.)
Diocese of Wilmington (Del.)(includes Eastern Shore of Maryland)
Archdiocese of Newark (N.J.)
Diocese of Victoria (Tex.)
Diocese of Cincinnati
A relatively new entry into the Catholic cemetery digital world is the search page at the website of the Mount Elliott Cemetery Association. The Association covers six Catholic cemeteries in the metro Detroit area. [Promotional plug: two of the Mt Elliott cemeteries are subjects of books by The Catholic Gene contributor Ceil Wendt Jensen. They are Mt Elliott and Mt Olivet. See here.]
The Catholic Cemeteries in the Diocese of Spokane are on Facebook.
Rather than its own, relatively expensive online database, the Diocese of Memphis in Tennessee links to the popular site Find-A-Grave.
At the website of Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Phoenix, one may shop online for flowers and wreaths (using a credit/debit card or PayPal) and have them placed dirctly on the gravesite.
And finally, there is a Catholic Cemeteries Channel on YouTube.
If you know of other unique or interesting Catholic cemetery sites, especially those with searchable databases of Catholic cemetery records, please share in the comments here.

As we climb deeper into this recess that is the 2011 NFL Lockout, I worry for our future. Sure, I worry that I won't deal with the stress of setting 8 fantasy football lineups, but I also worry that I'm running out of cheerleaders. Thankfully, blessed angels like Bianca LaRussa exist to fill my time and make me wonder why the hell I never knew that St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa has a smoking hot daughter. As a Cardinals fan, I'm generally regarded as wiser and more virile than other baseball fans, so it would seemingly make sense that I would have fresh ink on a restraining order from Bianca by now. I feel so dirty, having wasted my time and effort on Alexa Flutie.
Alas, we live and learn. Bianca has fulfilled her lifelong dream of becoming an Oakland Raiderette and we couldn't be happier for her. That's why we're dedicating this third installment of the NFL's Bravest Faces to Bianca and her new sorority of Oakland cheerleaders, as well as the newest and brightest spirit from the by-God New York Jets and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose cheerleader tryouts appear to have been an homage to the movie The Replacements. Come on, Bucs, you have Mons Venus and 2001 within walking distance of Raymond James. I expect better from you.

Pretty thrilling final. Germany so strong on all fronts. U-21, B-team, A-team, all good. They just lack a proper No. 9, but Werner can get there.
Some massive transfer movements too. Roma losing lots of players now too, Paredes to Zenit almost done, Rudiger on his way to Chelsea, Salah to Liverpool.
Sandro in a tug of war between Juve and Chelsea now too. Can't believe it if they let both Sandro and Dani Alves go. Will be a massive loss for Juve.
