ARTIST Damien Hirst’s controversial statue Verity has been granted planning permission.
Councillors today agreed by 10 votes to two that the 60ft bronze figure of a pregnant woman could be positioned on Ilfracombe pier.
-
An artist's impression of Damien Hirst's proposed Verity statue for Ilfracombe
The decision was made by North Devon Council’s planning committee.
It follows two months of public discussion about the statue, which has divided opinion proposal is that statue will be loaned to the council for a 20 year period with a view for this to be extended.
Councillors will meet tomorrow to decide whether to accept the offer now that planning consent has been granted.
North Devon Council received almost 300 letters about the planning application.
The statue is of a pregnant, naked woman wielding a sword with half of her belly exposed to show the foetus inside.
The most recent concern raised surrounds security issues that may come with the statue as police have fears that Verity will attract vandalism and publicity seekers.
However one of two pre-meeting reports stated there has been considerable liaison with local police to ensure that security concerns have been covered and there is also a proposal for CCTV to be permanently installed nearby.
It was recommended in one of the pre-meeting reports that the council give approval to the statue, stating it presents a ‘strong individual character that reaches out to the public.’
It is hoped that the statue, designed by one of the world’s most talked about artists, will bring benefits for the area’s economy in terms of increased visitor numbers leading to a boost in tourism.
After the meeting the council’s executive member for strategic planning and development at Ilfracombe, Councillor Mike Edmunds, said: "I am really excited that Verity will be coming to Ilfracombe. The sculpture has been the subject of a lot of talk in the town over the last few months, which, after all is what artwork is about - being subjective and engaging. So when the sculpture finally gets here, I am confident it will contribute greatly to the town's regeneration, by encouraging more tourists to check out what all the talk's been about and spend time in our lovely town."
Local ward member Councillor Paul Yabsley said: "There has been a lot of controversy around the possibility of the statue coming to Ilfracombe. In fact, controversy is what gives it strength, which will benefit the town. It will be a catalyst for growth, attracting attention and more visitors in the same way art has contributed to St Ives. Through projects like this, it will provide opportunities for our young people who want to stay in the area as they are our future."
Local ward member Councillor Paul Crabb, said: "I've always been clear about the need for Ilfracombe's regeneration. Despite the views being split on this statue, I firmly believe that Verity will contribute to its regeneration without question."
The two councillors who voted against the statue were Julie Hunt and Jasmine Chesters. David Worden abstained.
During the meeting some spoke about against the statue.
Ilfracombe Town Councillor Michael Dymond said: “I have been a councillor for 29 years. This is one of the most controversial applications I have seen in all that time. To me this is an insensitive object. It is not a family object and is not in-keeping with Ilfracombe harbour. It is said that it is unique. There is one in Manhattan and there is one in the London Academy but without the sword. Yes it will probably bring people to the area for a few weeks or months but I am sure it will be a 10 minute wonder.”
Barnstaple resident Julia Daunt said: “I went to school in Ilfracombe and I spend many weekends there with friends and my family. I like Ilfracombe the way it is. Yes it can advance into the 21st century but Verity is completely different. Personally for me I find it vile and I would avoid visiting Ilfracombe for that reason.”
Plans currently stand for the statue to be transported into Ilfracombe overnight on October 3/4 and raised into position by October 17/18.

“I think it's dreadful and pure self and selfish publicity... Planning officers kow-towing to a celeb whos put a bit of cash into the area... So what??
I for one can't wait to go down to the historic harbour setting and have a look at the open belly and exposed fetus.A lovely setting forever blighted...A world gone mad..”

FRAUDSTERS will have nowhere to hide from today.
A new national "one-stop" centre has been set up to report all information about fraud and financially motivated crime.
Action Fraud, which starts work today, is run by the National Fraud Authority.
Victims of fraud and internet crime will now contact Action Fraud directly to report a fraud instead of contacting
Non-emergency police call handlers who receive reports of fraud will direct callers to contact Action Fraud.
Police should still be called and will respond if the victim is in immediate danger, if there is a chance that the suspect could be caught immediately, or if the victim is vulnerable or at risk.
Police say fraud is when trickery is used to gain a dishonest advantage, which is often financial, over another person.
"This new way of working means that all fraud reports are recorded securely and effectively analysed to help police tackle fraud nationally.
"Centralised intelligence enables seemingly unrelated incidents from around the country to be linked through analysis, helping to identify networks of criminals."
Once the information has been analysed and linked, The National Fraud Investigation Bureau will allocate crimes to the best-placed police force in the country to investigate it.
Until now individual police forces have had responsibility for investigating incidents of fraud as they are reported.
Victims will be able to use a national crime reference number to follow progress on their crime. If required, they will be referred to Victim Support.
The system has been piloted with five forces and is now being rolled out to all forces in England and Wales.
Detective Inspector Dave Dale, from the Serious Organised Crime Investigation Team, said: "This system will enable victims of fraud to speak to an expert at the Action Fraud call centre straight away and receive a more consistent service.
"Moving to a national approach is a more efficient way for the police to deal with the ever-increasing incidents of fraud.
"Fraud, by its nature, has no geographical boundaries. A person committing online fraud in Devon and Cornwall could have victims scattered all over the UK or even the world."
In Devon and Cornwall the change could free up 1,360 days of officer time over a year.
In the year to November 27 Devon and Cornwall Police investigated 2,292 offences of fraud and forgery.
Fraud costs the UK economy over £73billion a year. The main types of crimes reported are on-line shopping and auction site frauds.

“Lets hope the fraudsters are reading this & quaking in their boots ! ! Can anyone remember how easy it was to deal with consumer problems by simply phoning Plymouth / Devon trading standards, I suppose they couldn't cope so then they ' sub contracted ' to Consumer Direct. Ring Trading Standards and get diverted to Consumer Direct, did ring them once sometime back, but never again. Appreciate the Police cannot cope with the prevelance and complexity of modern day fraud, but I hope and pray this one stop Action Fraud place is not down the same lines as Consumer Direct is to Trading Standards.”

Farm reeling from fire which caused £300,000 damage (From This is The West Country)
Farm reeling from fire which caused £300,000 damage
4:00pm Thursday 18th October 2012 in News
By Hannah Green
A MASSIVE blaze at a farm near Porlock which took firefighters more than 24 hours to bring under control has caused at least £300,000 of damage.
A crew from Porlock arrived at Wilmersham Farm near Luccombe shortly after 3am on Tuesday to find three barns full of hay and straw engulfed in flames and needed back-up from three more fire engines.
The fire destroyed the barns and their contents, which included two tractors, an all-terrain vehicle 700 tonnes of hay and straw and 30 tonnes of corn, but no people or animals were injured.
Malcolm Westcott, 52, runs the farm, which has been in his family since his grandparents moved there in 1938. The first he knew of the fire was when the fire engine arrived.
He said: “We are devastated at the moment. Reality has hit but the shock of seeing it on the night was unbelievable.
“We managed to get all the livestock out, otherwise it could have been much worse. It’s going to be hard to replace the feed and bedding, as we are organic. It is heart-breaking that we have spent all summer getting the hay and straw in and now we have to start again.
“Hopefully everything will come together in the end but it’s going to be a few months before everything is sorted.
“We would like to thank the people who called the fire service on the night and everyone who has been so supportive since.”
The farm is part of National Trust-owned Holnicote Estate and both landlord and tenant farmer have insurance.
Andrew Laws, rural surveyor for the National Trust, said: “All cattle and sheep feed for the winter has been destroyed but there are lots of implications beyond that – for example, the water supply to the farmhouse has also been affected.
“It is going to be an expensive and complicated restoration but we are working with them to get it built again and to get Malcolm back on his feet.”
It is not clear what caused the fire but it is possible that after the wet summer, the hay self-ignited after high temperatures were reached within the bales.
Paul Slaven, of Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, said: “There is nothing to indicate anything suspicious at this stage but officers are still investigating. It might be that the damage is so severe that the cause is indeterminate.”

Help take visitors to prison (From This Is Wiltshire)
Latest News RSS Feed
Help take visitors to prison
2:00pm Sunday 27th January 2013 in Latest News
THE Friends of Erlestoke Prison have appealed for volunteer drivers prepared to shuttle prison visitors to and from local towns.
Erlestoke has the only prison in Wiltshire and the rural location makes it difficult for relatives and friends of inmates to make the journey to see them if they do not have their own transport.
So the Friends group, a charity that works to support the rehabilitation and resettlement of prisoners, has appealed to residents to give up four hours of their time on an occasional Sunday to ferry people to and from Westbury rail station or the Market Place, Devizes.
Angela Hughes, of the Friends of Erlestoke Prison, said: “We pay 45p a mile and your commitment would be to pick up visitors on Sunday afternoons from either Westbury station or Devizes Market Place, returning visitors to the same pick-up places.
“You will be part of a team of drivers who will form a rota, so you will not need to be available every Sunday.”
Anyone interested in volunteering should email [email protected] or, to find out more, go to

The new labor migration patterns reflect a new stage of evolution of the Chinese economy.
The new labor migration patterns reflect a new stage of evolution of the Chinese economy.
During the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s, a failed socio-political movement intended to transform the country, Chinese leader Mao Zedong is said to have asked urban youth to return to farming villages to gain knowledge about methods of cultivation. Some four decades and more later, his clarion call seems to have found an uncanny resonance with millions of Chinese factory workers toiling away hundreds of miles away from their home towns for a living.
It all started in May 2010 when Taiwanese electronics contract manufacturer Foxconn, which employs about 800,000 Chinese laborers, was subject to a scathing attack by the international media. The Financial Times reported a number of suicides at its south China factory, turning the international spotlight on the working conditions in Chinese factories. But more than the actual event, the reactions hogged the news headlines. The company, whose customers included the likes of HP, Dell, and Apple, immediately announced a 30% increase in wages.
But there was an unexpected result of this phenomenal rise in workers’ salaries. Factories located mostly in relatively costlier locations like the coastal provinces, slowly started moving production to China’s interior provinces where labor costs were relatively low. An Economist article noted that the exodus of migrant workers back to their home towns, surprisingly, had the blessings of government officials, who were only too happy to shoo them away earlier.
Aside from the emotional tug of workers being separated from their families, practical economics played an important role in this case. Though the wages were higher in coastal provinces such as Guangdong, the cost of living there was equally high. So, it made sound sense for these workers to head home even if the pay was a tad lower. A Financial Times report said poorer interior locales such as Hubei, Jiangxi, and Anhui, which were the main suppliers of migrant workers, have now become home to the factories themselves.
The Foxconn episode was a watershed event in many other ways as well. Chinese labor, which had a global reputation for being dirt-cheap, would lose that status sooner or later, thanks to the new wage standards set by one of the largest private employers in China. It also ignited a debate over the continuance of the factory-town system that provided the impetus for 30 years of economic growth in China, a Financial Times report said. ‘The Foxconn effect,’ as it has been termed by the FT, would also likely lead to a sort of rebalancing in the economy as the higher wages would naturally push up the prices of finished goods for U.S. and European consumers, but would simultaneously increase the purchasing power of Chinese workers.
If workers move home in droves, can companies be far behind? The answer to this rhetorical question lies in the fact that many companies, including Foxconn itself as well as firms such as Compal and Quanta, have established factories in inland Chinese provinces such as Sichuan and Henan over the past two years. The interesting fact is that both parties stand to benefit from the arrangement as laborers enjoy the low cost of living, while companies are able to hire workers at affordable wages. As more and more companies move to the interior towns of China, the country’s laborers will have more jobs to choose from closer to home and will avoid slogging it out in far-flung sweatshops. And along with factories also come the attendant infrastructure development projects such as express highways and bridges necessary to transport goods to the nearest ports.
Many of the workers who have gone home to be with their families for the Chinese Spring Festival are likely to stay on, given the new-found opportunities. As the Chinese lunar New Year kicks in, which also happens to be the prime job-hopping season in the country, global corporations will be keeping a close watch on this reverse migration of laborers with their fingers crossed.

Steelville man facing domestic assault charges
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Steelville News
- Written by Amy England
- Hits: 941
A Steelville man faces a possible life sentence for allgedly beating up his girlfriend on January 31. Aaron Gordon Dement, 44, stands charged with class A felony domestic assault in the first degree along with the unclassified felony of armed criminal action.
Class A felonies hold a potential range of punishment of 10 years to life in prison. The armed criminal action charge holds a possible sentence of at least three years without eligibility for parole, probation, conditional release, or suspended imposition of sentence for three years.
According to the probable cause statement on file in the case, law enforcement was called on a report of an assault with a knife currently in progress. When police arrived at Dement’s apartment, he stated he had been in a physical altercation with his girlfriend. Police noted blood on the front door and Dement reported that was probably because she had tried to force entry into the residence. However, there were no signs of that. Dement further reported that his girlfriend had pulled a knife on him and threatened to stab him and that he had attempted to defend himself with a piece of metal from the bottom of the door jamb.
Finley was located walking along Highway 8 in her pajamas, carrying her belongings and she told police a different story. Her account agreed with Dement’s in that there was an argument, but she stated that he began hitting her during it. She was afraid he was going to kill her, so she grabbed a pocketknife, which he took from her. She stated he then grabbed a piece of metal and began to hit her with it. She was taken to Missouri Baptist Hospital for treatment of numerous contusions and lacerations.

2000 Ford F 550 Side Steps
If you are of a shorter stature or have some mobility problems, you might want to consider installing nerf bars to your truck. These bars come in pairs and are manufactured from strong metals. They are attached to the sides of the truck and their main function is to help the driver to climb into their truck with greater ease. Whilst they are useful, they can also make the truck look better. Because so many people are buying nerf bars to improve the looks of their vehicle, manufacturers are taking advantage of this, and as a result, there is an endless market for an array of different styles, designs and shapes of nerf bars.
The first thing to know about nerf bars is that they are not at all inexpensive. Because of this, you should ensure that the product that you are purchasing is of strong durable quality so that you will not need to replace them for a long time.
The cheapest nerf bars are powder-coated and in black. The Westin Signature series range of accessories includes this kind of nerf bar. They do not look particularly impressive, but at the same time, they are not altogether ugly. They will perform the function for which they are intended, however they will probably not enhance the appearance of your truck as much as other kinds of nerf bars would do. The solid properties that powder coating applies to items that it is used to make means that this kind of nerf bar is very strong, and will last a long time.
Standard chrome finish nerf bars are the next most expensive type of nerf bar. The Westin Platinum series contains this type of bar. They are made from shiny, impressive looking chrome and are ideal for those who want to add a few finishing eye catching touches to their pickup truck. Chrome is used in this instance, as it often is the material, which matches the other aesthetic features of the truck, and just adds that little extra to the style of it. They are again very strong and durable, as nerf bars should be given their main requirement to act as grab rails to help the driver get into the vehicle. Westins range of nerf bars includes this style of nerf bar.
The most expensive and by far the superior type of nerf bar is the stainless steel chrome nerf bar. The Westin platinum and signature ranges contain this type of nerf bar. These are not only shiny and great looking, but they are built to be extremely durable. Manufacturers are usually so sure about their stainless steel chrome nerf bars that they will provide a limited warranty.

) -- Three groups pushing for amendments on the November ballot are facing another deadline to get the signatures needed.
Sheffield Nelson's severance-tax proposal-if passed- would raise the state's rate on natural gas but did not pass due to issues with the signatures. Tuesday morning Nelson announced he would suspend his work to gather more signatures for the ballot.
"I said it was going to be a mountain climb, not a hill, if we tried to make up 40,000 signatures. I honestly felt that we would be 10 or 15,000 short. At the most! And anybody who says you can't anticipate some being kicked out has never run one of these campaigns and don't know what they're talking about. Because quite simply you're always going to have signatures that are not accepted. The number that was not accepted shocked me!" says Nelson.
He says he will suspend his push for signatures to change the ballot but will reach a decision by next Monday or Tuesday.
"I think that you've got to look at things analytically. You've got to be realistic. It's a long hard haul to get 40,000+ signatures when you didn't get but 20,000 in the first round. It just doesn't make sense." says Nelson.
He points to recent derogatory political ads and claims against him of petition fraud as two reasons for his group's lack of validated signatures.
Meanwhile, Nancy Todd's push to bring casinos to the Natural State failed to get enough signatures. But she says she has 30 days to get the signatures and she is confident it will happen.
"Setting up the system is what takes the time because everybody knows we only had 6 weeks and it took us a good two and a half weeks during that to just get people in the field, get familiar with gathering the signatures, what to ask, what data needed to be filled out. Now we've added the voter registration form in with that too because so many people are not registered to vote in Arkansas." says Todd.
The Secretary of State rejected another proponent for casinos last week. Texas developer Michael Wasserman says he MAY take his issue to the Arkansas Supreme Court.
The medical marijuana proposal spokesperson/supporter Melissa Fults of Little Rock says her issue also did not win over enough signatures in the time alotted. She said Tuesday her team was worried, but now they're hopeful.
Fults says Saturday, July 28, volunteers are gathering across the state to collect more signatures. She says, "Our volunteers are deeply committed to this cause. Many of them are ill themselves, or caring for sick family members, and yet they're out in the heat every day to bring this issue to the ballot. That's compassion."
People interested in participating can contact ACC Statewide Volunteer Coordinator, Gene Remley at (501) 258-2806.
To be considered valid, a petition must have an authentic signature of a registered Arkansas voter.

quote:Ramsey played like dog shite Tuesday. With the exception of two passes, Gervinho played like dog shite...
quote:the narrative the club sold to Gunners fans was one of young talent and hope: Things might look dark now, but wait till the youthful core of Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie and Samir Nasri and Emmanuel Adebayor and Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner matures, and you'll see a force that could dominate English football for 10 years. The moment when that blossoming was destined to take place always seemed to be "next season," but it was something to live on, at least. The only problem was that most of the child stars got tired of waiting for themselves to mature and jumped ship for clubs where they could win trophies immediately:2 Fabregas to Barcelona, Nasri to Manchester City, van Persie to Manchester United, Adebayor to various clubs, and Bendtner to Bendtner Comes Alive! FC, a club of 11 Bendtners that plays its league games inside Bendtner's imagination.
quote:But it suggests that Wenger is intelligent enough and flexible enough to think like an executive as well as like a visionary coach — that for him, the two roles may even be synonymous. And that, ultimately, is why it's impossible to say whether Arsenal should fire him or not. Because we, as outside observers, however knowledgeable (and fun, and good-looking) we are, have no idea what the Arsenal board has demanded of Wenger. If they've made vast sums available for his transfer spending and pleaded with him to build the strongest team in England, then yes, his determination to buy bargain players and stick to his own vision has hurt the club. But what if they've ordered him to keep costs down, control wages, and just do the best he can while they get the club's long-term revenue and ownership structures worked out? Obviously, some managers would fail swiftly and hilariously in that scenario (I'm not convinced that Harry Redknapp knows how to subtract). But Wenger? He could just about keep it together under those circumstances, right? And wouldn't his corporate-administrative, "this club is in fantastic shape" side even approve of the project?. The slogan Arsenal fans have always used to express their faith in Wenger is "Arsene Knows." Maybe Arsene does know, and that's why he's gazing into space with that black-hole stare every weekend. For the fans' sake, I hope someone knows something — and at the moment that's all I know about Arsenal.

In this photo provided by NASA, storm clouds roll over NASA's vehicle assembly building moments after the lauch of space shuttle Endeavor was scrubbed at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., Sunday, July 12, 2009.
The best time to do a little renovating is when everyone is out of the house something homeowners know and something NASA appears to appreciate too. The space agency is experiencing empty-nest syndrome in a big way, with the shuttles heading for museum retirement and the next manned American space vehicle not scheduled to fly until 2016 unless it's 2018 or 2025 or who knows when?
That leaves the huge and now-vacant vehicle assembly building (VAB) quieter than it's been since it first opened its 45-story doors in 1966. With half-century old cables snaking behind its walls, aging electronics running the cranes overhead and leaky plumbing feeding the heating, cooling and water systems, it's crying out for a little This Old House love. And now it's going to get it.
The VAB's gross dimensions were headspinning in 1966 and still are. The iconic old building is 526 ft. tall, by 716 ft. deep by 518 ft. wide (160m by 218m by 158m). It has more than 129 million cu. ft. (3.6 million cu. meter) of space. In the changeable Florida climate, it even has its own weather, with tiny cloud-like formations sometimes gathering near its ceiling. The foundations for the building go 160 ft. (49 m) deep.
All that space was necessary because the VAB was built to accommodate the massive Saturn V rocket 363 ft. (111 m) tall and made up of three stages, plus an escape tower. The stages would be lifted and stacked on top of one another, and a massive crawler would then take the completed booster on its 3.5 mi. (5.6 km) journey to the launch pad, moving at the decidedly patient clip of 1 mph (1.6 k/h). Booster and crawler together weighed so much that the gravel that lined the path underneath would be crushed to powder as they passed.
After 1973, when the last Saturn V flew, the VAB was retrofitted for its far longer career as an assembly hangar for the 184 ft. (56m) shuttle. But last summer the shuttle program came to an end, and NASA has begun work on a new Saturn-like and Saturn-sized booster known prosaically as the space launch system (SLS). The SLS is planned to be a sweet-looking machine, but given NASA's depressing history of start-stop projects, plenty of people are convinced it will never fly.
"Yes, there will be budget cuts. Yes, it will be stretched out. Yes, it will have problems. Yes, it will fall apart," space policy consultant James Muncy told the New York Times when the SLS design was unveiled in Sept. 2011. Even William Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for space operations, could offer no more than a qualified forecast when he spoke to Time: "We've put this together to make sure we can accommodate small budget changes over the years. The architecture and design have as low a technical and development risk as possible. We're going to give this a good run."
One key to that run is being ready for the rocket if it's ever built, and so the VAB is undergoing a floor-to-attic overhaul. About 13 mi. (20 km) of copper cabling have already been removed, with another 37 mi. (56 km) to go. All of it will be replaced by pinky-width fiber optic cables. The five overhead cranes, which can lift up to 350 tons (317 metric tons), are still sound, but their electronics and other controls will be ripped out and replaced. Spigots and pumps for the fire control system which was up to code in 1966 but falls short of modern standards will be removed and replaced next year.
Most important, the seven fixed work platforms that are attached to the walls at different heights and were built for the Saturn V will be replaced by 10 new ones that can be repositioned as needed. That's critical in an era in which NASA plans to lean on private contractors like Elon Musk's SpaceX to get humans and cargo to and from low-Earth orbit, while the SLS is used principally for deep space exploration. Such a variety of launch vehicles requires flexibility; if you don't know exactly what rocket you'll be assembling on any one day, after all, you'd better be able to accommodate them all.
Even so extensive a renovation will not take all that long. Since the VAB structure itself is sound, engineers expect to complete their work by 2014. The effort they expend between now and then will make things that much sweeter if the new rockets actually show up and that much more forlorn if they don't.

Azita + AXIS:SOVA at the Hideout | Concert preview
A double record release party celebrates art songs and intangible sounds.
Anyone who’s caught Azita Youssefi solo has seen her ability to bring a hush over an audience, no small feat in a crowded bar. That asset isn’t lost on the idiosyncratic local songwriter, whose gift for unsparing melancholy and unconventional melody has blossomed over the last decade as she’s shaken off eccentric tics remaining from her art school refugee days (etched into this city’s punk history in bands like the Scissor Girls).
The music underpinning the singer-pianist’s latest, Year, was written around a theater piece of the same name, but for the album Youssefi enlisted a band and fleshed out artful arrangements that range from solemn (“It’s Understanding”) to stately (“Forgetting”), with some unexpected moments in between (the affable reggae pulse behind “Something That Happened”). It brings some relief after the quiet despair coursing through last year’s solitary Disturbing the Air, and while this is less personal than that devastating set, Youssefi’s autumnal chord choices and the tactile quality of her voice continue to center her songs.
A more oblique approach comes from AXIS:SOVA, the solo psych trip of former Mass Shivers frontman Brett Sova, whose vocals aren’t the only thing that sound submerged on the new Weight of a Color. Intangible sounds and textures ripple throughout cosmic lullabies like “Subtle Beer Bong Chicks” and “Raising Hell,” filled with flickering patches of guitar and echoing leads. Yet for all the unfettered shredding there’s a rigorous structure in place—Sova’s kaleidoscopic meditations may be more amorphous than Youssefi’s but are no less meticulous..

Scott Walker in a recall election. (AP Photo/Jeffrey Phelps)Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
SCOTT BAUER
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker, fresh from becoming the nation's first governor to survive a recall election, wants to go about mending Wisconsin's political divide in an egalitarian way: over brats and beer.
Walker defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett on Tuesday for the second time in year and a half, turning back a recall effort that began with the collection of more than 900,000 signatures seeking his ouster. It was only the third gubernatorial recall in U.S. history.
Now the rising Republican star is focusing his message on what lies ahead. His term runs through 2014 in a state that."
Walker planned to invite all members of the Legislature to meet as soon as next week over burgers, brats and "maybe a little bit of good Wisconsin beer."
"The first step is just bringing people together and figuring out some way if we can thaw the ice," he said.
Democrats, including Barrett, pledged to work together too. But the wounds are deep following the rancor of the recall, which was spurred by Walker's surprise proposal to go after public employee unions.
"It is up to all of us, their side and our side, to listen. To listen to each other," Barrett said.
State Rep. Peter Barca, Democratic minority leader in the Assembly, said healing Wisconsin won't be easy.
.
Democrats and organized labor spent millions to remove Walker, but found themselves hopelessly outspent by Republicans from across the country who donated record-setting sums to the governor's campaign.
Walker's win sets the stage for what is expected to be a hard-fought presidential battle.
Both sides in the presidential contest warned against reading too much into Tuesday's results, but Walker's solid victory is a warning for President Barack Obama in a state he comfortably carried in 2008 and that by powerful union leaders and citizens with little or no political experience.
"This is a fight worth having," Tate said. "Some things are worth losing over.", and it was explosive.
Democrats and labor leaders saw it as a political tactic designed to gut the power of his opposition. State Senate Democrats left Wisconsin for three weeks to avoid a vote on the measure,.."

- Bessie Smith Strut goes on in Chattanooga despite rain earlierDespite heavy rain throughout the day Monday, thousands attended the annual Bessie Smith Strut on M.L. King Boulevard. The event, which was nearly canceled earlier this year, allowed attendees to enter by either paying $10 or showing a Riverbend pin.
After months of uncertainty about its future, the prevailing attitude at the Bessie Smith Strut on Monday evening was one of "wait and see."
Attendees and vendors alike expressed mixed feelings about numerous changes this year, including ubiquitous perimeter fencing and thorough screening of guests and their bags at a trio of guarded entrances.
Some said these changes made the event feel safer, even if the traditionally free event now charged $10 to those without a Riverbend pin.
"Nothing is free," said Benny Whitten, 72, as he sat with his wife, Mary, on a sidewalk near the King Street entrance.
"This is what they should have done when they started out," Whitten added. "Some people don't want to pay, so they stay away. See how nice it is now?"
Better security was one of the primary reasons given earlier this spring when Riverbend's management group, Friends of the Festival, announced a decision to abide by a request to relocate the Strut.
After a vehement response from the community, festival Executive Director Chip Baker later said his organization would oversee a transition to a new organizer that would host the event in its traditional location.
That organization was the Bessie Smith Cultural Center, which enacted many of the changes this year in compliance with city leaders' demand for a more controlled environment.
As he walked up M.L. King, Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield said the new measures seemed to be working.
"Everybody hates an admission price, and I do, too, but it's the best way to control some of the problems that were threatening to cause the Strut to go away permanently," Littlefield said. "I think they've found a formula here that works very well."
However, many vendors suggested the changes hurt their business.
By Ansley Haman, Staff Writer
A board member for the African-American Museum and Performance Hall is optimistic that taking over the Bessie Smith Strut will help the Bessie Smith Cultural Center break even this year.
Last week, the nonprofit's board vice chairman, Elijah Cameron, told Hamilton County commissioners that the center -- with the museum located inside -- is working to become self-sustainable.
"We're picking up the Strut this year, so we're hoping to incur some funds from that," Cameron said last Wednesday. "We expect to look forward to making a profit."
The most recent IRS forms available show that the center lost $47,999 from July 1, 2009, through June 30, 2010. The returns show the center lost $43,055 on fundraising events during that period.
Cameron spoke to commissioners about the center's budget request, which asks the city and county for help with a new boiler and exterior maintenance. The center is seeking a total of $125,306 for projected operational expenses and $35,000 for a new boiler, which breaks down to $80,153 for each government.
Both governments have shared some of the building's costs since its inception, said Dan Thornton, head of the city's General Services Administration. A 2009 lease with the nonprofit center reduced the amount of public support it receives, he said.
"We pay rent to the city for the use of the building as a whole," Cameron said. "Before, the city actually provided us with maintenance folks."

After alcohol sales were cut off at 8 p.m., Tower Construction beer vendor Calvin Ball said he thought he sold 33 percent fewer cans than last year. Despite a more expensive uniform price structure agreed to by all Strut beer vendors, Ball said he wouldn't be sure if his profits were down until he counted sales at the end of the evening.
"I definitely like the old rules better," Ball said as a thirsty straggler tried to haggle for one last can. "I got rid of what was in the cooler, but I didn't do very well."
Up the boulevard, West Palm Beach, Fla., native Gina Evans was set up on the Bessie Smith Cultural Center's front lawn to sell grilled chicken from her concession stand, Taste and Tell.
As one of several scattered afternoon rain showers swept briefly over her tent, Evans said she wished even more had been done to increase security this year.
"I do feel less comfortable and less safe here [than at Riverbend], even with the police," she said. "We just pray, keep going and hope for the best.
Some attendees said that they felt the police presence stronger than in years past.
"It's sucking the life out of it," one passer-by said into his phone while walking west up the boulevard. "They've got more cops than people strutting down here."
Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd said he had about 130 officers on duty at the Strut.
Although that represented an increase over the 90 to 100 posted nightly at Riverbend, department spokesman Officer Nathan Hartwig said it was no more officers than the department fielded at last year's Strut.
"We're hoping more officers will cut down on any problems," Hartwig said. "There's no more than any other year. It just looks like it because the Strut is smaller."
Many attendees also were vocal about the sparseness of the crowd this year.
Instead of a shoulder-to-shoulder throng stretching for blocks, attendees remarked on the traditionally rare sight of empty asphalt.
"There is a lot of empty space," said McCallie School dean of student life Bobby Bires before adding that, given the speed of the management transition, the event was well organized.
"I think it's a great community effort to get this thing going at all," Bires said. "I just hope that if it's slow this year that doesn't mean they're going to give up on it."
Many expressed similar hopes that whatever wrinkles there were to this year's Strut, they likely would be ironed out with a full year to plan for next year.
"Let's wait and see, see how it turns out in the end," said Jeni Brown, as she and her husband, John Shoemaker, stood outside their music venue, JJ's Bohemia.
Marcus Flanagan, 42, was born on M.L. King Boulevard and has attended every Strut, even after moving to Nashville in the 1980s.
As the sun dipped toward the top of the Gold Building on West M.L. King Boulevard, Flanagan said he considered this year's Strut the best ever.
"It's safe, and it's a family environment," he said. "You don't have any youngsters walking around not making any purchases and creating havoc.
"Next year, I want it to be the exact same as it is now."

Josef Fritzl's secret past emerges
The Austrian man who held his daughter captive in a cellar for 24 years and fathered seven children by her was convicted of rape around the time the daughter was born, his sister-in-law told Austrian media.
The newspaper Oberoesterreichische Nachrichten yesterday Mr Fritzl had spent a year and a half in jail, and that his wife Rosemarie, despite her shock, had tried to hold the family together.
Austrian officials will say only that, if Mr Fritzl had such a rape conviction, it would have been purged from the records after 15 years at the latest. A call to Mr Fritzl's lawyer, Rudolf Mayer, went unanswered yesterday.
The reported conviction dates from shortly after the birth of Mr Fritzl's daughter Elisabeth, now 42, who was released just over a week ago from the cellar where he had fathered seven children with her.
The head of the investigation, Franz Polzer, said in an interview that Mr Fritzl was a classic tyrant personality.
"This man, all of whose crimes were driven by his sexual energy, never once tolerated being asked about his holidays, his absences," he said.
Authorities have said officials followed correct procedures in allowing Mr Fritzl and his wife, who had seven grown-up children of their own, to care for three of the children he had with his daughter, ostensibly after she abandoned them on their doorstep.
Elisabeth was kept imprisoned in a cellar complex beneath the grey apartment block with her three other surviving children - a daughter, now 19, and two sons aged 18 and five. Until their release the previous weekend, those children had never seen sunlight.
Detectives working in the bunker are able to work for only an hour at a time because of the foul air. They say they are looking at the electrical systems and mechanics of the dungeon, including the hidden, reinforced electric door that Mr Fritzl used to seal from the house above.
Mr Polzer confirmed a report in the German magazine Der Spiegel that Elisabeth had been restrained on a leash for the early months of her captivity.

As the city of Wichita Falls moves toward awarding a bid for the 2011 street rehabilitation project, it is working with a larger list of projects than usual.
The budget for this year included additional funding for street rehabilitation work beyond the usual $1.6 million.
This time, through a combination of street department funds, 4B funds, property management funds for Lake Arrowhead roads and parks department funds for cemetery roadway maintenance, the city is able to use roughly $2.7 million to do street overlay and related work.
On Tuesday, City Council members will consider a resolution that would award the bid for the 2011 project to Zack Burkett Co. in an estimated amount of $2,727,734.45.
The streets in this year's planned work include Barnett Road from Johnson Road to Southwest Parkway, Professional Drive from Highway 79 to the city limits, Avenue K from Santa Fe Street to Kemp Boulevard, Harding Street from Thompson Road to Linda Lane, Hatton Road from Jacksboro Highway to Henry S. Grace Freeway, Maplewood Avenue from Midwestern Parkway to Southwest Parkway, Virginia Street from Walnut to Jalonick, 30th Street from Jacksboro Highway to Armory Road, W. Arrowhead Drive from Boat Ramp Road to the northwest, and 1,463 feet in Rosemont Cemetery.
The $400,000 in 4B funds will go toward work in the downtown area — on Scott and Lamar from Eighth to 13th streets.
Construction should take 150 consecutive days.
The agenda for Tuesday also includes:
■ A public hearing to determine if 20 structures are considered to be dangerous and an ordinance that would find certain structures dangerous and require owners to demolish those deemed so.
■ A report from the director of public works on a proposed pilot project related to clearing overgrowth near the Wichita River.
Director of Public Works Russell Schreiber in February walked council members and staff through a presentation that indicated removing 90 percent of vegetation along part of the overbank could have had a significant impact on areas that flooded in 2007. Tuesday's discussion is an extension of the earlier conversation, presenting a pilot program that would allow the city to gauge from a small area what the financial picture and a timeline might look like on a larger scale.
The meeting begins at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in the City Council chambers.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. Removing the trees and brush along the banks of the Wichita River will do little if anything about the river flooding its banks. The problem isn't vegetation at all, its what has happened to the river itself.
The river once contained many ox bow (horseshoe lakes) along its course between Wichita County and where it empties into the Red River near Byers. Civilization came along and man has either d---ed up these lakes, cutting them off from the river, or in some cases filled them in altogether. Silting is another major problem with the Wichita. In most spots it is now just a few feet deep.
Yet another cause it how the city has built up over the past decade. Where the land the city sits on was once a dirt prairie, it is now paved streets, parking lots and structures... all which greatly increase run off during rains.
If the city wants to speed up the flow of water passing thru WF and ease flooding they need to be prepared to dredge and clean out the entire channel from the west side of town, all the way to where it empties into the Red. After that they will also need to do something about the Red because when it fills up the Wichita has no place to empty its water so it backs up. Our city leaders should already know this because when the Wichita fills up, then Holiday Creek backs up.
Once again someone, or some company hired as an outside consultant has sold them a bill of goods and in the end this will just be more wasted funds.
The one fact that cannot be altered is that the Wichita is a river, and from time to time a river behaves like a river regardless of what man does or thinks.
City Council please take my advice. Save the money removing the vegetation along its banks and use it to clean out all the old tires, washing machines, refrigerators and other junk that have been dumped in it all these years. The Wichita could be a diamond in the rough for this city if it was ever done correctly.

Chaos Theory doesn't so much accompany a video game as it does mark an entirely new era of media. Video games have had soundtracks in the past, but never have they been this dignified. The Final Fantasy series, for example, has always had original music, but it contains the same scent of triviality as the dialog. Halo 2 was fitted with original music as well, but it's typical and inevitably aggravating. Still, most other games just have sound effects.
What sets Chaos Theory apart from every other recording to date is its refreshing dynamic of legitimately great music in a video game environment. Nothing similar has been done before. Ever. It is the soundtrack to a video game in the vein of a proper film score, not dissimilar to Bernard Herrmann's work with Hitchcock, but the difference is in the design. Video games are interactive, and so the music must be written accordingly. To facilitate this, Amon Tobin composed a number of initial pieces, each organized internally into four levels of stress. The tracks were then picked apart and integrated into the game (i.e. when your character stumbles onto some risky shit, the music changes to add tension). Finally, he put the pieces back together to form Chaos Theory, an intense head rush into oblivion. And what a wonderful oblivion it is.
But let's remove the concept and process entirely for a minute. This is some fucking great music. It is Amon Tobin's richest work, and incredibly aurally pleasing. "The Lighthouse" starts the album off in true Amon Tobin fashion, and "Displaced" is one of his best tracks to date; but it is "Kokubo Sosho" and "Ruthless" which exemplify one of Chaos Theory's most unique attributes. It's cohesive as a whole, yet it never repeats itself. Sure, when you take some of the songs individually, they may not match up directly to previous Amon Tobin work ("Theme From Battery" almost doesn't even sound like him and something like "Hokkaido" is definitely not better than, say, "Reanimator"), but as a whole, Chaos Theory stands individually excellent. It is like nothing else.

Psh. Threadjacked.

To get it to work you simply grasp the knife blade down, rotate your wrist so the blade moves towards the floor in a "snapping" action, reverse the direction and "snap" again in that direction, open knife in less than 1/10th of a second.
Or better yet, get an assisted-opening knife. Easiest of all.
You can buy butterfly knives, but you can't carry them, at least here in Texas. So if you just want a knife for kicks, you can buy them if you look around, you just can't carry it around with you. Which is fine, since A:) butterfly knives suck as self defense knives, unless you've mastered them to an art and B:) around here anyway, you don't want to pull something like that out around the wrong people.
Cold steel makes a beautiful butterfly knife, you can check it out here. Prices vary, but it runs about $150.
As for the punishment, it's unlawful carry, so I guess alot of it would depend on what you were doing when they caught you.
A:) butterfly knives suck as self defense knives, unless you've mastered them to an art and B:) around here anyway, you don't want to pull something like that out around the wrong people.
And C:) you would look like a total dork carrying one around. Talk about stuck in the 70s.
I'm confused - what are they concerned about with the assisted opening?
(And I certainly agree that a fixed blade is the best knife, but that can be problematic for casual carrying...)
You have to be careful with assisted opening-I believe it depends on if they're operated by spring or "intertia bar", as knife making companies like to call it. The law, at least here in Texas, forbids the carry of spring operated knives, which are classified with switchblades.
If it's operated by spring, it's illegal. Even with the non-spring operated knives, officeres around here have been taking notice here lately.
Whoa...
This is not a guy you'd expect to ninja you when you try to mug him. be really cool to do that stuff. I can only flick it open...
Chicks dig guys with skills.

This article originally appeared in the Jan. 2011 issue of NGN Magazine.
There are more than 50 million home devices – including residential gateways, IP-based set-top boxes, VoIP terminals, femtocells and WiMAX base stations – managed today by Alcatel Lucent’s (News - Alert) Home Device Manager, the company’s Motive division is trumpeting..
The HDM is an auto config server that supports the Broadband Forum’s (News - Alert) TR069 protocol. It helps telcos of all sizes around the world to manage and troubleshoot remotely in-home devices.
Alcatel Lucent’s HDM was designed to work with any device, regardless of its manufacturer. The company has the Motive Smart Verification Program, which allows any chipset or CPE manufacturer to send its gear to the company’s labs where it will ensure interoperability. More than 90 chipset and CPE manufacturers participate with the program.
The HDM is in use by more than 85 service providers worldwide and has gone from 10 million devices managed to the more than 50 million in just two years. Alcatel Lucent’s Motive division estimates it has 50 to 70 percent of the worldwide market for this kind of product, Geller says, adding that HDM is also starting to see some interest from the cable TV companies.
Service providers have come a long way in recognizing how they can scale their businesses using technologies like HDM, which has tangible benefits technologically and economically, Geller says. He offers an example of how service providers were able to contain costs and improve time to market by using HDM. One example involved a service provider that was readying to do a service launch that involved tens of thousands of customers. Just as the service provider was approaching the turn up date, however, it found a security vulnerability in the in-home devices it was using. The company could’ve delayed the rollout, explains Geller, but instead it launched on time, and when those devices were plugged in they were put into walled garden and the HDM sent them a new firmware load and rebooted them. That saved the telco a lot of costs, time, and customer and technician frustration, he says.
A large service provider in EMEA realized about $10 million in savings by using
HDM, which helped reduce its customer support calls and technician costs.

TODAY | November 08, 2012
>>> we're back at 8:35 with a little bonding session. 2012 marks the golden anniversary of the 007 franchise. daniel craig dawns the famous suit for tomorrow's release of "sky fall." but back in 1972 , the franchise was in the capable hands of sir roger moore . he starred in seven films. so who better to write the book on bond? it's called "bond on bond" and sir roger moore , we're thrilled to have you here.
>> well, it's nice to see you again.
>> it's one the honor to play bond, but another to write the book on bond.
>> it just meant the memory had to start working again. and a lot of research.
>> you have a great sense of humor about the character and about yourself. do you mind i if read a little of the introduction of the book?
>> i'd be delighted.
>> can it really be 40 years ago? back then i could leap out of a chair without fear of my knees cracking, could chew on a toffee without fear of losing a filling or tooth. and as i swooned in front of the mirror proudly admire my bronze, slim torso. oh, yes, with the flex of my toned muscles with the twitch of an old eyebrow i sent pulses racing across the world they say. these days it's my pacemaker that keeps my pulse racing. did you love playing bond?
>> i had a great time. it was -- it was working with a family. every 18 months, i would go back to a studio, there'd be all my old friends, all the crews. and, of course, cubbie.
>> you knew the producers of this series well, they knew you from your work on "the saint." and when they came to you, you admit you had some trepidations taking over the role from a guy like sean connery . but you consoled yourself with the idea with a lot of actors have played hamlet in the past too.
>> a lot of them all played it very differently.
>> did you try to play the role differently? try to put your own stamp on bond?
>> i was not to say martini shaken, not stirred. all i was left with was, sean said was my name is bond, james bond .
>> you mention in the early days of the genre, travel in the 1960s was reserved for the wealthy and this movie allowed moviegoers to see the world .
>> it did. i think that's one of the big attractions that has kept it going. and apart from that, i think it's the fact that it will not disappoint audiences because they're not going to be cheated by the producers putting the money in their pocket. they put it all on the screen.
>> yeah. these are big-budget films. let me read one of the reviews of your time as bond. okay? in his seven outings as bond, more brought a light humor that set him apart from connery's more serious and at times sadistic manner. no other bond from timothy dalton to more recent pierce brosnan and daniel craig has made it as charming and endearing as moore.
>> well, that didn't take me long to write.
>> you like that assessment, though?
>> it's flattering.
>> there were a lot of great villains. you say you even admit that you had dreams of playing a bond villain at one time.
>> well, they have the best parts. bond goes around saying, you know, i'm james bond . the villains, this is the end of civilization, mr. bond. you are about to watch the world be depopulated by a new demonic democracy.
>> you like that guy we're seeing right now jaws. you thought he was one of the best.
>> oh, lovely guy. lovely man.
>> you admit that you had dreams of being a bond villain . you do not like to answer the question who's your favorite bond girl . let me pose it differently. so have you ever dreamed of one of the bond girls ?
>> uh -- well, no, i have not dreamed of them. you see, i married the perfect bond girl .
>> isn't that nice?
>> you're always the diplomat. you always do that well. what about the guy you say you miss more than anything else about playing bond? and that was desmond luellen.
>> well, desmond was a wonderful man and i could play the most terrible tricks on him. he took it all with a good humor. i would come into the studio and he had nothing but say but terrible things about how the parameter works and then the complex, and you tried to remember all this stuff. and i'd go to the script and say write this down. and she would type it and i'd give it to the director. and he'd say this is the new scene and poor desmond who spent months trying to learn this terrible dialogue is faced with something even worse , but he attempts and then looks up and sees me going --
>> you had pulled the rug out from under him. you have been asked the question many times who's your favorite bond, and you always say sean . you've said sean was the kind of iconic bond. has watching daniel craig changed your opinion at all?
>> yeah, i finished the book three or four months ago. i would like to have seen "sky fall" then because i would now write another chapter. i think it is just the best bond ever made. and i -- well, i called barbara and michael wilson who produced it now and said, you know, your parents will be so proud of you. you've given bond another 50 years of life.
>> that is high praise from one of the great bonds of all time. sir roger moore , it's always a pleasure to have you here.
>> thank you for talking with me.
>> it's my honor. again the book is "bond on bond" and "sky fall" hits theaters

MPS plans 400 full-time position cuts, eight school closures for 2012-13
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Public Schools District has announced that it plans to cut around 400 full-time positions and close eight schools for the 2012-13 school year.
The district made the announcement in its 2012-13 budget proposal, released Thursday morning.
"This does not mean that there will be over 400 layoffs. Some of the positions that are eliminated are vacant and others will be reduced due to attrition," said MPS Superintendent Gregory Thornton in the budget overview submitted to the MPS Board.
"This is aimed at improving student achievement, but it isn't without significant pain," said MPS Spokesman Tony Tagliavia in an interview with Newsradio 620 WTMJ's Jay Sorgi.
"It increases opportunities for arts, music and physical education. It recognizes and supports the higher program costs of our specialty schools like Montessori, International Baccalaureate, art, language immersion. It allocates money to begin the process of redesigning our high schools."
The planned school closures, which MPS said had been announced in December, include Burroughs Middle School, Montessori IB (International Baccalaureate), School for Urban Planning and Architecture, 68th Street (the building, not the programs), 65th Street, Transition Intervention Experience Center, Where Opportunities Require Knowledge Institute and Wisconsin Career Academy.
The proposed position cuts include 160 from schools already closing in 2012, 114 cuts in schools that are operating in 2012-13 and 126 Central Services-related departmental cuts.
The budget statement also proposed 234 full-time cuts in teacher and teacher/coach positions. 104 of those cuts have been slated for schools closing by the end of the 2011-12 school year, while 87 cuts have been projected for schools operating in 2012-13.
According to the budget statement, there are more teacher positions available than the projected position cuts, so there could be more openings for teachers.
Thornton explained that "the number of layoffs will be determined by the need in specific areas. For example, a general education teacher may be laid off because the need is for licensed math or special education teacher."
The district faces cuts in state funding and it has been unable to make up those cuts by forcing its teachers to pay for a portion of their pension and healthcare. Most other districts around the state have made up state cuts in that manner. MPS has an existing contract with teachers and has been unable to get the union to voluntarily accept making the healthcare and pension contributions.
"We're getting ready for our second school year under significantly lower state funding. We're facing higher costs for next year than we have for the next school year. Our revenues are flat, meaning we're largely taking in the same amount of money, roughly, than we did last year. We're also projecting a small one percent decline in enrollment. All of those things combine for a budget that spends $19.7 million less than we're (proposed on) spending in the current year," Tagliavia said.
The Milwaukee Teachers Education Association recently voted down a proposal to reduce an upcoming salary increase. According to Tagliavia, the district was not counting on MTEA members passing that proposal.
"Our budget plan never assumed there were going to be those savings to begin with; however, that would have helped us. It would have lessened the impact of job cuts."
Tagliavia said that the MPS board would not discuss the budget during Thursday night's meeting, because it was not on the previously-prepared agenda, so by law, they cannot discuss it.
He said that there would be public hearings in May, with a board vote.

Things U Need 2 Know Tues 1/8/13
Posted on
January 8, 2013

Michael Cronin, credited with coming up with the names for TiVo and Kindle, has died at age 61.
Actor Thomas Gibson is this week's Celebrity DUI Arrest honoree... who was caught allegedly driving under the influence last Saturday. He's the star of "Criminal Minds" and also starred in the old series, "Dharma and Greg."
Oscar host Seth MacFarlane will join actress Emma Stone Thursday to reveal the nominees for the 85th annual Academy Awards.
Diana Ross acted like a diva at the restaurant La Scala in Beverly Hills after she was not allowed to sit at a table until her daughter showed up. She went down and sat anyway, she was told if she did that, they wouldn't serve her, her daughter showed up and they both stormed out. So much drama.
Lenova is coming out with a 27-inch touchscreen tablet computer... a coffee table version, as you were. Sit it up and show it off, or lay it flat and share it with three others while playing "Monopoly." Available this summer.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman said he sees a psychiatrist once a week to try to be the person that he believed he was.

FEWER DIETING _
We're finally giving up. Fewer people are dieting and women are leading the decline. In 1992, 35% of women said they were dieting. Last year it was 23%. Helping that trend is the perception that skinny is not all that attractive. In 1985, 55% of people thought people who were not overweight were more attractive. That number has dropped to fewer than one-in-four.
THE JOE SCHMO SHOW
(9p CT, Spike) A new series debuts tonight (Tuesday) that features a real guy who believes he is on an over-the-top reality show looking for America's next bounty hunter and the chance to win $100,000. What he doesn't know is the entire show is FAKE. (10 PM ET, Spike)

Bad news for morning personalities. The worst time to wake up is before 5am. And it's best for your heart health to sleep in until 7am or 8am every day.
This is THE most adulterous week of the year. The first Monday after New Year's is the biggest traffic day for cheating websites . . . usually as fallout from the holidays. And if yesterday had a ton of new signups . . . you can expect people will be setting up affairs all week.

. The researchers didn't find the same effect with women.

The first time I ever saw a yurt was near Urumqi at the Heavenly Lake. Back in the early 1980s when I traveled around Xinjiang province in northwest China, also known as East Turkestan, it was not uncommon to come across a yurt now and then. It is believed that the concept of the yurt came from Mongolia, a nation of nomads who made their living as sheep herders in the rich grasslands. In Mongolia, unlike other places, the structure, known as a ger, is made with straight pieces of wood as opposed to a curved lattice. I was told by the yurt owner at Heavenly Lake that a yurt can be dismantled in a few hours and the camp moved to another location. If you want to see some pictures of a yurt and how it is constructed, visit this website:.
The Silk Road, after a long period of limited use, has begun to increase in importance again in recent years. For centuries thousands of caravans traveled this road. At night the weary travelers slept in yurts or a caravansary. The trip meant suffering and hardship for people and animals. Mind you, this fact never reflected in the silk worn by beautiful Mediterranean odalisques. Nowadays those who travel the famous route are not traveling with mule, horse and yak and are not sleeping in yurts, like those in the past.
In this quote from Sven Hedin’s “My Life as an Explorer,” although he doesn’t mention a yurt, you can learn about this intrepid Swede who traveled across the Taklamakan Desert in 1895 and get an idea of the hardship he experienced. Hedin writes: “Crossing a dead-flat plain of yellow-grey dust -- nothing but dust, so fine that it blew like powder at every breath of the wind, and so soft and deep that driving over it was like an adventure on a feather bed. The wheels of their wagons were almost sucked into it, the horses labored endlessly; the men, walking alongside, saw their feet sink into the dust ankle-deep with every step. The tracks they left behind were nothing but lines of dimples in the dust. The dust got into everything, the men and horses and every wagon became plastered with greyish-yellow dust.”
I have done a lot of camping in my life. See my piece “Memories of Camping” (Feb. 8, 2010) for some fond memories of my first trip to Turkey in 1979 and camping in Florya. As I mention in the article, the next best set of memories I have are those from when I was a young girl and my family used to go camping at Brady Mountain on Lake Ouachita. Of course, it was safe and easy, because I had three brothers and they were all boy scouts. We had everything: packs full of small frying pans, spoons, canned goods, canteens of water, a hatchet to a box of matches to sheets of plastic -- just in case it rained. Leaky tents and baked beans were common.
Today if you are looking for an exotic experience you do not need to travel as far as Central Asia or Mongolia. There is a new trend called “glamping.”
Maybe you have not heard the term yet and are wondering what it is. Glamping, in short, is glamorous camping. It appeals to those who like the luxury and comfort of a hotel but are keen to experience the great outdoors. Those who are glamping stay in a mobile home, a log cabin, a large tent or even a yurt. In Woman’s Weekly magazine (June 12-24, 2012) some ideas for great adventures are suggested with companies such as Les Ranchisses in the Ardeche, France; Hidden Valley Yurts, South Wales; Ashlack Yurts, Cumbria or Cuckoo Down Farm Yurts, Devon. Each of these operators provides an opportunity to sleep under the stars while avoiding sleeping bags and leaky tents and cold baked beans! You can Google these places to learn more about a holiday in a luxury yurt in France or England.
So the Silk Road continues to have far-reaching influences on the culture of China, Central Asia and the West!

Sway Machinery: The House of Friendly Ghosts Vol. 1 sedate crooning in the bizarrely “Lay Down Sally”-like “Women Singing in Timbuktu” and a few other spots, is a frenetic, pious, yodeling spaz evoking calls to prayer in the devout tribal patter of “Serigou,” the big-beat stomp of “Hey Ha Youmba,” the Middle-Eastern-tinged Afrobeat of “Skin to Skin” and the pretty-much-ska of “Gawad Teriamou.”
The band, meanwhile, is positively New York, tight as thieves whether going off on horn tangents or futzing with jazz-prog lines (“Golden Wings”).

Gasoline prices down again from last week
COLUMBUS — Ohioans can again expect to see lower prices at the gas pump compared with last week.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas in the state was $3.33 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's 7 cents lower than a week ago.
A month ago Ohioans were paying an average of $3.79. They're paying close to the same price per gallon as this time last year, when the average was $3.35.
The national average Monday was $3.55, down 13 cents from a week ago.

Informal survey finds mixed credit knowledge
Many Americans borrow to help finance their lifestyles, so it would seem to make sense they would be well versed on credit histories, annual percentage rates, and types of credit.
But that's not always the case. To help educate consumers, the Association of Credit and Collection Professionals this week devised a quiz.
The issue is of concern for the Minneapolis trade group, which said yesterday that a new survey found that 92 percent of respondents think Americans carry too much debt and three out of four think it has become acceptable not to repay.
Some downtown Toledo workers were asked questions yesterday from the group's quiz, and most knew basic tenets of credit but had trouble with terms.
Sue Koogan, a Wauseon resident who works at a law firm as a receptionist/secretary, knew that consumers are responsible for up to $50 when a credit card is stolen.
But asked to choose whether a car loan, mortgage, or credit card is considered a revolving account, Ms. Koogan, 40, said all could be right. "They all are because revolving means everything you pay monthly. You know, revolving means around and around."
But of that group, only credit cards are revolving accounts because they have no set period in which they must be paid off.
Toledoan Bobby Johnson, 53, an information systems manager, knew that "the balance calculation method" is the most important item to consider, after the annual percentage rate, when choosing a credit card because it most directly affects how much someone will pay in finance charges.
He carries a mixture of bank and store cards, some of which have carry-over balances. But the balances aren't nearly as high as some people's.
"If I get a big cash flow, I try to get mine to the halfway mark of my balance."
Christopher Smith, an 18-year-old restaurant worker, knew that "pay your bills on time" is the correct answer to the question: What is the single most important way to maintain a positive credit history?
But he admitted it was just an educated guess rather than the voice of experience. "I tried to apply for a few credit cards, but they wouldn't give them to me because I have no credit."
Richard Call, regional vice president of Consumer Credit Counseling Services of the Midwest Inc., said he's not surprised by incorrect answers.
Nearly three of every four people destroy the "changes in terms and conditions" they receive in the mail from their credit card companies.
"Credit education is really important because most Americans think they know more than they actually know about credit," he said.
"I think the earlier we can get young adults to understand the rules of life, I think the better off they're going to be."

1. B. The formula to determine credit score places the most
weight on bill-paying habits. Paying bills on time is the best way to
build a positive credit history.
2. D. Credit grantors check credit history before deciding whether
to lend, many insurers check credit, and prospective employers
sometimes check a job applicant s credit history to assess reliability
and integrity.
3. B. Although each answer should be considered, the one other than
the annual percentage rate that will most directly affect how much
you pay in fi nance charges is the balance calculation method.
4. B. The federal Fair Credit Billing Act limits your liability for unauthorized use of your credit card to $50.
5. C. By co-signing a loan, you are agreeing to repay the loan if the
primary applicant defaults.

PR: The Vast Middle
Well if the judges can’t be arsed to critique these looks, we’ll just have to bark out our opinions in their place. Stand back. Sometimes there’s spit.
Anya
Anya used leashes and rope dog toys to put together this fetching little look. We didn’t hate it on sight or anything but we did shout at our TV when this walked out.
“IT’S THE SAME TOP SHE MADE LAST WEEK!”
That little bit of disappointing repetition aside, it’s not a bad little look at all.
Too heavy and rug-like to get anywhere near the top3, plus the skirt’s kind of standard and while she clearly likes to style her model exactly like herself, we’re not sure Anya-lite was the way to go as far as styling for these pieces. But she chose interesting materials and worked hard to make them do what she wanted and the look definitely has some impact to it. We suspect the judges noticed it more than many of the entries in the middle.
Laura
Gotta give it to Blenley here.
She really managed to make something cute and chic.
Better than that…
She did a great job manipulating the materials, which is exactly the kind of thing the judges like.
And to our way of thinking demonstrates that she’s got some real chops, both as a designer and a competitor.
Much as it pains us to say that about Miss “I come from an upper class background.”
It’s cute; it feels of the moment, and it doesn’t really look like pet store materials.
Of all the vast middle, we think this was probably the most deserving of a slot in the top 3.
See? See how fair-minded and unbiased we are? We’ve had our claws out and sharpened for this
bitch strong competitor right from the get-go, and yet look at the lovely things we spat out bitterly said about her here! Truly we are the Mother Teresa of bitchy gay reality TV bloggers.
Viktor
Hey, wasn’t Viktor all narrowed eyes and hissed threats last week? Whatever happened to that guy? Because he seems pretty non-threatening so far.
There’s good “vast middle” and then there’s not-so-good “vast middle.” We would consider this the former.
We were a bit more intrigued when we saw the direction he was going in the workroom and then a bit disappointed when this walked out.
It’s pretty. Nothing to get too excited about from a design perspective and hardly the most modern dress you’ll ever see, but it does a damn good job of mimicking an actual cocktail dress.
We do hate the way he styled this thing, however. The necklace and the belt seem to be rather obvious attempts to make a fairly plain dress look more dramatic.
And she’s got drag queen makeup paired with running errands hair. Weird.
But credit must be paid, because he manipulated his materials very well and they couldn’t have been easy to work with. The dyeing was a nice touch and well executed.
And the whole dress looks solidly put together, unlike many of the other entries, which looked like they could survive neither a light rain, a strong wind, or a walk through the park. He may not have come close to winning this challenge, but he definitely won the Pee Pad Prize.

The perfect flash drive to go along with your new Blu-ray purchase!
If you are a fan of Marvel's blockbuster hit, The Avengers, you were probably one of the first to grab the movie on DVD or Blu-ray this week. Although die-hard fans were disappointed to learn the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One collection wouldn't be released with standard copies yesterday, Dane-Elec may have something to satisfy their avenging needs.
If you can't get enough of The Avengers, you can now head on over to Best Buy and purchase one of several Avengers themed action figure flash drives with 8 GB of storage hidden in its rocky-base. Although Black Widow and Hawkeye weren't able to make the cut, you can choose from one of the other four members: Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, or Hulk.
Additionally, there is also an Avengers themed USB hub with four ports to keep your your Avengers assembled at all times. The individual flash drives and hub are $16.99 each and can be purchased online as well as at Best Buy stores.
This Captain America shield flash drive is WAY cooler

Of course, you can use the same instructions to make any sort of clay magnet. I’m just partial to Valentine’s Day motifs, it being my birthday and all. After making a lot of magnets I realized that they worked better – cleaner design, less chance of ripping the magnet off later – if you sunk the magnet into the clay a little if you could. With a bit of planning, this is simple.
Get started with the usual stuff: a roller, cutters, a blade maybe, magnets, a texture sheet and a sheet of clay, rolled out to the 2nd or 3rd thickness on the pasta machine (mine is 2nd). Not shown are a strong glue (e6000 for me), a pasta machine, baking tray, a dab of craft paint and a bit of sandpaper or scrubbie
1. I cut the sheet in half – a piece for the base of the magnet and a piece for the textured top part. Here I’m going to cut out the two pieces for my base.
2. Cut two hearts from the sheet (for every magnet you’re making)
3. Cut out two hearts.
4. Stack your heart cut outs evenly. Trim and smooth if you need to.
5. Use the small round cutter – mine is a half inch circle to match the half inch magnet I’m using – to punch a circle out from the stack. After baking, you’ll glue the magnet in here. This way, the magnet doesn’t poke out much.
6. Check the fit of the magnet in the stack. Make it just a little loose if you have to. Save frustration later, after baking.
7. Carefully roll your clay onto the texture sheet. Alternately, press the sheet down onto your clay. I’ve used a little water here as a release agent for the texture sheet. If you’re using Fimo, use a dry release such as cornstarch or mica powder.
8. My piece of textured clay. If you don’t like the imprint you got… run it back through the pasta machine and try again. Clay is very forgiving.
9. Cut a third heart shape, this time from the textured sheet.
10. Stack your textured heart on top of the others.
11. Smooth the edges if you want, using fingers and the roller. Check the magnet fit again and bake for the recommended time and temperature (for mine, at just over 1/2″ and Premo clay, that’s an hour at 275F). I recommend baking textured part down so the thin part doesn’t slump slightly. Don’t bake the magnet IN the clay as it can weaken the magnet. Glue it in afterwards.
12. After your future magnet is all baked you can use a little acrylic paint to bring up the texture you pressed in. I used plain red paint on the pink heart (and white on the black heart coming up). Let it dry for a bit then use a piece of sandpaper or a scouring pad to rub off the excess paint. This leaves just the details highlighted.
13. Glue your magnet in the hole. I used e6000 to glue my magnet in. If your magnet no longer fits, use a sharp knife like an exacto to trim away a little clay until it DOES fit.
14. The final step – admire your magnets on your fridge!

What for.
Aside from the sitting room -- with it's over-sized hot pink couches and lacquered floors -- Audigier's house is surprisingly un-tacky. This a man who counts The Situation and Jon Gosselin among his clients. Granted, there are his trademark design elements scattered throughout (crowns, animal print), but those are mostly removable.The kitchen is tasteful, and the pool area and guest house look amazing.
Which room is your favorite? Sound off in the comments below!

Katy Perry may not be wearing a bikini anymore ... but that's not stopping her from showing off one of her most famous assets.
The singer stepped out to promote "Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D" last night at the Fasano Hotel in Brazil, where she proudly put her cleavage on display in a revealing, bright yellow cut-out dress.
While Perry's known for rocking her famous curves both on stage and on the red carpet, we gotta say this may be one of her sexiest looks yet.
What do you think of the ensemble? And see how she's highlighted her cleavage before in the gallery above.

Two new Royal Enfields
Royal Enfield has launched two new variants of the Bullet Classic, the Classic Chrome and Classic Desert Storm. Both these bikes were showcased at a press even in Mumbai and are open for bookings at a dealer near you.
Obviously the ‘bling of the hill’ Classic Chrome is dipped from head to toe in chrome. While that may appeal to some of you superheroes out there, it was admittedly a tad flashy for our TopGear sensibility so we decided to focus all our drooling energies on the Classic Desert Strom which was finished in a matte greenish-beige colour.
The engine is exactly the same as the one found in Classic 500 and makes 27bhp and 41Nm of torque. This will surely disappoint people looking for some sort of power jump in these variants. The Chrome will cost 1.62 lakhs and Desert Strom will cost Rs 1.58 lakhs both on-road Mumbai.
If you have been looking at Royal Enfield’s international product portfolio and wondering when they will launch the ‘Battle Green’ colour in India, we got some bad news for you. The colour won’t be available in India, as it can only be worn by Indian Army vehicles and Enfield did not get permission to paint the Classic in that colour for civilian use. The good news is that if you squint a bit while looking at the Desert Storm, it almost matches that colour... doesn't it?
Check out our Video Interview below with Dr. Venki Padmamabhan at the launch.

Another Pittburgh DUI Defendant Drunk at Trial
A Pittsburgh Pennsylvania woman pled guilty to DUI in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court. As she was being led to the probation office, an officer gave her a breath test. She was found to have a BAC more than twice the legal limit. She was immediately taken to jail. The defendant admitted that she had been frustrated with her long wait in court and had “a few vodkas” during the lunch break.
This was the second time in a month that a defendant was drunk in Pittsburgh court during a DUI hearing. A man who was drunk at his hearing earlier this month learned that he would be spending another week in jail before he could enter the county’s recovery program. Because of the thank giving weekend he could not be released from jail until Tuesday.

The Lydian Mode
The Lydian Mode happens to be one of my favorite guitar modes. To me it has a sort of "smart" sound. If you use this mode on electric guitar within the context of a rock or metal song, you will end up sounding very sophisticated. Of course, this is my opinion and guitar modes are very subjective. If you have been doing your homework, you will already have found a couple that you prefer. Hopefully, I can help make Lydian one of them.
Let’s cover a few basics of the Lydian Mode:
1) Lydian is a major mode. It is determined major because it contains a Major 3rd. In the key of A Lydian, the major 3rd is C#. (If it was C instead of C#, then it would be some kind of minor mode. ie., phrygian, dorian, aeolian.)
2) Since it is a major, you can use A major pentatonic right along with it.
Example 1: This lick combines sweep picking and tapping in conjunction with the Lydian mode. The first 5 notes of lick #1 are played with a single downward stroke. This is called sweep picking. The tapping is done with the third and middle finger. I find this use of multiple fingers works best. This enables me to use my palm to mute the string noise and my pick to pick any notes that are not tapped. Work on this technique slowly. It can be very difficult to get down. The chord in the background is an A Major. The notes that are picked in the background are D#, A, and E.
Listen to the Real Audio
Example 2: This lick takes the techniques used in all the last lick a little further. The notes that are not tapped are played by using sweep picking. If the notes ascend, they use a downward sweep. If the notes descend, they use an upward sweep. This covers this technique in more detail. Again, the tapping is played with the third and middle fingers. (3rd finger taps the D# note on the 23rd fret). Also the notes that are tapped on at the end (A-24th, G#-23rd) are natural harmonic’s. Although it is not notated, while you tap these notes on, you will hold the same note one octave below it on the same string (that would be the 11th and 12th fret). This lick is played against an A power chord (A, E). The effect that was used on this lick is a phaser.

Niklas Kronwall’s Hilarious Skate Break Incident (Video) Calgary Flames. Last week Iginla scored 3 goals and had 4 assists for 7 points with two of those points coming while on the power play. He also had 5 penalty minutes, a plus/minus rating of plus-4 and 13 shots on goal. Jarome was going through some rough times prior to last week, but seems to be getting things back on track which is good news for the Flames and your fantasy team.
Lets take a look at the NHL Fantasy 3 Stars for Week 17.
3rd Star – Shane Doan (RW), Phoenix Coyotes
Shane Doan was supposed to act as the typcal veteran leader for the younger players on the Coyotes and be able to pitch in offensive once and a while, but so far this season he has been pitching a lot more than expected. Doan had 3 goals and 6 assists for 9 points with two of those points coming while on the power play. He also had two minutes in penalties, a plus/minus rating of plus-5, 14 shots on goal and one game winning goal. Although because of his age he isn’t getting as many penalty minutes as you’d expect, Shane is still a solid fantasy option as long as he’s putting up points and with 43 points already it looks like he could get close to 70 this season.
2nd Star – Nicklas Backstrom (C), Washington Capitals
As one of the top playmakers in the league Nicklas Backstrom showed off his great passing abilities yet again last week to help the Capitals extend their winning streak to 10 games. Last week Backstrom netted two goals while adding 5 assists for 7 points with 4 of those points coming on the power play. He also had two penalty minutes, a plus/minus rating of plus-6, 18 shots on goal and won 36 faceoffs. With 63 points already Nicklas is poised for a second consecutive 80+ point season. Expect this to be a common trend with Backstrom as he plays with the two most talented Alexander’s in the league with Ovechkin and Semin.
1st Star – Brian Elliott (G), Ottawa Senators
It seemed like everything was doom and gloom in Ottawa when Pascal Leclaire went down with yet another injury. Seems like those thoughts were a little premature. Last week Elliott collected 3 wins while posting a 0.98 GAA, .964 SAV%, made 81 saves and had one shutout. Brian isn’t a big name nor is he a flashy goaltender but he’s consistent and gets the job done. Consider holding onto Elliott even when Leclaire comes back as the Sens will most likely want to go with the hot hand and give Brian a chance to become the team’s clear cut #1.
Remember to check back in next week to see who the NHL Fantasy 3 Stars will be for Week 18.

BROOKE BASKIN | October 15th, 2012
2.10pm: SERIAL rapist Robert John Fardon could be released from an indefinite jail sentence on a strict supervision order as early as February, a court has been told.
Brisbane Supreme Court Justice Debra Mullins on Monday set down a hearing date for February 7 to re-visit whether Fardon, 63, could be released in to the Wacol Precinct under a supervised court order, the Courier-Mail reports.
It comes as a psychologist who has made "surprising" headway with Fardon in therapeutic sessions since June told the court he believed the notorious sex offender may have been suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Nicholas Smith told the court Fardon had engaged with him and he had worked hard to "build a rapport" within the nine sessions they'd had together, much to the amazement of two psychiatrists who also gave evidence to the court.
The PTSD symptoms Fardon was experiencing were related to trauma he'd experienced as a child, since about the age of seven, Mr Smith said.
"Those traumatic experiences have been compounded with further experiences he's had within the community, with bikies in his late teens, at boys' homes as a child and within correctional facilities," Mr Smith said.
He said the "long-entrenched" trauma patterns associated with PTSD would make the likelihood of Fardon re-offending by using substances such as alcohol or drugs much higher.
Fardon was the first person detained indefinitely past his release date under Queensland's Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act 2003 but has been a regular before the Supreme Court in the nine years since.
He has spent about 30 years in various jails for sexual offences against women and children.
In 2006 he was released under a strict supervision order but was breached when charged with the rape of a Townsville woman and then convicted by a District Court jury, in 2010.
Fardon was jailed for 10 years on the rape charge but the Court of Appeal quashed his conviction in November.
He became the subject of national media attention last year when the Court of Appeal heard an urgent application by then-Attorney-General Paul Lucas to keep the violent rapist behind bars.
The Court of Appeal subsequently upheld the application by Mr Lucas to overturn an order made by a Supreme Court judge that granted Fardon limited freedom.
The Supreme Court on Monday also heard from psychiatrist Dr Donald Grant, who said Fardon's psychopathic personality disorder and potential substance abuse put him at risk of re-offending if he was released on a supervision order.
Dr Grant called Fardon bitter and resentful, with a hatred for authority, in particular for Queensland Corrective Services.
"He sees indefinite detention legislation as being quite unjust (and) he's really very negative attitude towards the system," he said.
Psychiatrist Dr Michael Beech told the court he was "surprised" Fardon had engaged with Mr Smith as a psychologist, adding it was "a welcome development".
"I would think and strongly encourage the treatment continued for three to six months before he would reliably trust Mr Smith's advice but this is an important change given Mr Fardon's trajectory," Mr Beech said.
Jonathan Horton, for Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie, said the hearing in February should take half a day.
Dan O'Gorman, SC, for Fardon, who opted not to attend court for the hearing, agreed to the terms which would see his client undertake continued sessions with Mr Smith as well as partake in the "transitions" program in preparation for a possible jail release.
Justice Mullins told the court Mr Smith and Fardon would need to prepare a "relapse prevention plan" ahead of the February hearing.

+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | TPWD News Release 200905 ] May 29, 2009 Texas State Parks To Celebrate National Get Outdoors Day AUSTIN, Texas -- Any time is a good time to head outside to hike, camp, backpack, picnic and enjoy other recreational pursuits, but Saturday, June 13, has been designated National Get Outdoors Day to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun. As a part of the second annual GO Day, more than two dozen Texas state parks are joining federal agencies, nonprofit organizations and recreation industry leaders throughout the nation in hosting a variety of outdoor recreational activities and special events to mark the day. On the outskirts of San Antonio, for example, Government Canyon State Natural Area is inviting the public to join volunteers for an 8 a.m. guided hike on one of the many canyonland trails. In addition, reservations are being accepted to attend a presentation by an expert in First Aid and CPR on how to hike safely in hot weather with your four-legged companion. "Hot Dogs-Tips on Summer Hiking With Your Pet" will be held from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Call (210) 688-9055, ext. 291 to reserve your spot. Fishing takes center stage at Caddo Lake State Park in northeast Texas with an "Intro to Fishing" and the "4th Annual Kids Fishing Derby." Youngsters ages 3 to 15 will learn basic fishing skills and compete in various age divisions for awards for the most fish caught, and overall largest and smallest fish netted. For more information, call (903) 679-3351. The entire family can get involved in National Get Outdoors Day at Blanco State Park in the Hill Country. Activities kick off at 9 a.m. and will include fishing with a ranger, trail hikes, paddling classes and assorted games. Contact the park at (830) 833-4333 for details.In far west Texas, visitors can celebrate National GO Day at Franklin Mountains State Park in El Paso by joining park rangers on a guided evening hike to Aztec Caves from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Reservations must be made one day prior to the event by calling (915) 566-6441. Other Texas Parks and Wildlife Department sites hosting events on June 13 to encourage Texans to get outdoors are: Barrington Living History Farm (Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site), Bastrop State Park, Bonham State Park, Brazos Bend State Park, Caprock Canyons State Park, Daingerfield State Park, Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fanthorp Inn State Historic Site, Fort Richardson State Park & Historic Site, Goose Island State Park, Guadalupe River State Park, Huntsville State Park, Lake Arrowhead State Park, Lake Somerville State Park, Lake Texana State Park, Martin Dies Jr. State Park, McKinney Falls State Park, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Purtis Creek State Park, Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center and Tyler State Park. For more information about National GO Day happenings in Texas state parks, visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Web site. The USDA Forest Service and American Recreation Coalition launched National Get Outdoors Day on June 14, 2008 in an effort to connect Americans, especially children, with nature and active lifestyles. Last year, more than 50 official GO Day sites across the nation, from Anacostia Park in Washington, D. C. to San Bernadino National Forest, hosted events. The program goal is to create a healthy, fun day of outdoor adventure aimed at reaching first-time visitors to public lands and to reconnect children with nature. --- On the Net: -30-

Food Addicts: Why We Eat What Our Body Doesn’t Want
Try to curb foods that you overeat or make you feel worse afterward. Often times, these foods include cheese, pasta, pizza, chocolate, soda, juice, candy, coffee and sandwiches. If you feel particularly worse after eating one type of food and think you might be intolerant, cut it out for a few days, then re-introduce it to your diet and notice how you feel. If your body feels worse within minutes to hours after eating it, you’ve probably got a food intolerance.
The best thing to do is avoid the foods you think you’re addicted to. After a few days, or even weeks, you probably won’t even crave them anymore…and feel a lot better for it.
This article has some great suggestions and good information, Traci. Thank you.
To help get to the emotional root of the need for all the cravings and emptiness that is behind food addiction, and for some strong help in emotional over-eating, I hope you will check out my book: What’s Behind Your Belly Button? available on Amazon.
Thank you again for your article and reminders.
Thank you, Martha! I’m glad you liked it!

This should have been followed by "Police smacked the b*tch for being a moron and wasting their time and tax payer money."
God, I hate this city sometimes....
