Deck the the Door, the Porch, and anything that doesn't move!
I wanted to join Ann On Sutton Place and The Tablescaper for their parties.
The door is decked...
The wreath is a battery operated one from QVC.
I wired on a French Horn, and some fresh greens and pine cones.
Next week, the fresh baby's breath will be added and some more greens.
Plaid bows galore! I have made at least 20 of them this year so far. Wired ribbon from Costco, 50 yds for 7.88. Can't beat that!
Two dwarf Alberta Spruce get lit and bowed, and the lanterns get some fresh greens and bows.
On one side, a bowed tree.
You can sit and wait for Santa.
I see Santa is waiting for Santa too! :)
I filled the window boxes with fresh greens and of course, a big plaid bow. Battery operated lights twinkle.
Our Blue Spruce is lit, and the Holy Family is spotlighted.
Our house is the only house on the block with lights, so far.
Only a few homes have winter occupants.
Inside the front door is the Dansk Crystal Nativity.
I surround it with a wreath with sheer ribbon twirled through and lights. Fresh baby's breath will be added closer to Christmas.
I found the box with the kitchen window sill decos.
A kitchen Santa, his apron stuffed with tiny cookies, stands among the sleighs and tartan boxes. t
That's enough for tonight!
Have a wonderful Sunday, and thanks for visiting.
am joining On Sutton Place and The Tablescaper.

Hi Kathleen,ReplyDelete
I'm glad you found your box of stuff for the kitchen window; I've spent all week walking all over this house looking for things. I can't decide if I have Alzheimer's or if I just have too much stuff. :) I love your kitchen window, especially the little copper pot ornaments hanging from the pretty curtains you made.
Your porch looks so cheery, and I love that you have the Nativity out front. All the plaid is wonderful; I've loved tartan plaids for years, and now that it's popular, it's so nice to be able to find it in the stores. We have a plaid bow on top of our den tree this year.
I enjoyed seeing your decorations; have a wonderful weekend!
Denise at Forest Manor
Oh wow it's soooo beautiful I love your adorable Santa ;)ReplyDelete
Your home is decorated outside in such a beautiful way! I love the plaid ribbons and all the lights! Your kitchen Santa is so cute...mine is large and sits on the table in my breakfast nook. I need to get that one finished and photographed also!ReplyDelete
hugs, Linda
Love the title of your post Kathleen! Isn't that so true...we decorate anything that doesn't move! You have gone all out in decking your porch and it looks fabulous, so welcoming! Do you usually have snow for Christmas? We've only had a tiny bit this year but are hoping more comes soon!ReplyDelete
Kathleen- EVERYTHING looks just beautiful! I love it all. I'd say your hubby better not sit still in one place for long or we will see him with a tinsel boa. xo DianaReplyDelete
Oh, it's fun to see your beautiful house decked out for the season. I love that front porch! Thanks for sharing the joy............SarahReplyDelete
So festive...the porch looks wonderful and inviting! What charming details. I really like the lights on the windowsills. :)ReplyDelete
Kathleen, I am in love with your porch and all of its Christmas goodies! Oh to have such a luxury.... The husband grew up with a front porch and misses it. I would be in heaven decorating it for the seasons. LOLReplyDelete
All of your red, green, and white surely says traditional Christmas. Glad you found your lost box of goodies. I'm still searching for a box filled with my Santas, but I don't want to go back up into the attic... :-)
Merry, Merry!
Ouu! I love seeing the outside of your home. It is beautiful. I love all the decorating you have done outside and inside. It's so very inviting. Thanks so much for a lovely tour!ReplyDelete

Sorry teacher, I made a typo ;o) Nothing is safe from getting decorated in my home either! As you know I am a rubber stamper, and we always say that if it doesn't move, STAMP IT! Your home is looking very festive, and having a front porch is wonderful. My stuff gets wet!ReplyDelete
Very very cute Kathleen..Your porch is the cutest I have seen..I put a wreath and 2 soldiers..I should follow your lead on dressing up the wicker one year!ReplyDelete
The Christmas spirit is alive and well at your house...very festive!ReplyDelete
Beautifully done Kathleen. I so love your porch.ReplyDelete
The front door wreath is simply stunning, adding the French horn was inspired and finishes it off beautifully. I wish we had a porch where I could do a Christmas display but sadly everything that goes on my front door is exposed to all the elements!ReplyDelete
The Christmas Santa is fab!
Very pretty decor, Kathleen! Your porch is beautiful. We haven't seen as much as we used to in the way of decor because of the Hurricane cleanup but folks are beginning to put things up.ReplyDelete
Beautiful, beautiful front entrance! I just love all the details! The wreath is gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Your porch is so inviting! It is beautiful. You did a fantastic job.ReplyDelete
Bless me Father for I have sinned ... I am peagreen with envy for Kathleen's porch.ReplyDelete
Seriously, I love it all! The porch looks like it should be on a magazine cover, and all the other vignettes look so beautiful too.
You are definitely in a festive mood with your home decked out in green and red. It looks so inviting inside and out.ReplyDelete
Happy to be a new follower, Mary Alice
Your decorations are beautiful and so welcoming, Kathleen. I have always loved that front porch of yours and your sweet little kitchen tree too. Everything looks so festive.ReplyDelete
Kathleen, How fabulous! LOVE, LOVE your porch..it's gorgeous with so many fun touches with Santa and the toys. Hopefully, more people will decorate their homes if they're there for the holidays.You're definitely sharing the Christmas spirit.ReplyDelete
Your porch is so festive and cozy! Everything is just beautiful. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, DaniReplyDelete
Kathleen, your porch decorations are gorgeous! I love all those plaid bows and your decorated sitting area. I have that same Santa chef that you have in your kitchen!ReplyDelete
The porch is wonderful! We don't have actual porches here in Southern California. Well, some of the early, mid-century and earlier houses do, but it's rare to find ones built after that time that make room for real, sit-in-the-chair-and-watch-the-world-go-by porches. My parents had one. It helped a person survive the summer heat.ReplyDelete
You know, I don't know if I ever told you, but your kitchen tree was the inspiration for me putting one up. I started about three years ago. I have enough kitchen ornaments this year. At first it was pretty sparse. I hadn't bought ornaments in years, and was actually shocked at the prices. Anyway, I just love mine - and you're to blame for that.
This is so beautiful, Kathleen--I love your red door and your use of plaid--lovely! Also really enjoyed seeing your kitchen decorations.ReplyDelete
Ooooohhhh....what a pretty crystal Nativity set! That's really unique! I love the way you have decorated the porch and front door. I WANT that red door! Ramon doesn't get red doors. I TRY to tell him the significance, but he just goes blank on me. What a dingbat! We'll be getting the house painted next year...that door is gonna turn R-E-D!!! :-) Very pretty, Kathleen! You've done a whale of a job! But I wouldn't expect anything less from you, Miss Decorating Queen of Long Island! :-)ReplyDelete
Beautiful!! Just simply beautiful!!ReplyDelete
Your exterior is just as lovely as the rest of the things you create. I love the French horn on the wreath, and I really, really love the coziness around the porch. Beautiful all!ReplyDelete
The house is looking fabulous Kathleen. You got such great shots outside too. I love your ribbons, what a deal. It is definitely looking a lot like Christmas!ReplyDelete
Wow, Kathleen, your house looks beautiful, festive and all decked out in it's Christmas best. What fun to have a big front porch with all the pretty wicker and my favorite color...a red front door!!!ReplyDelete
Kathleen, You home is so beautiful and all decked out for Christmas, I repeat others, WOW!ReplyDelete
Love that Santa is waiting for himself, I feel that way often.
Are the battery operated lights on a timer. I am wondering how long the batteries last. I tried them a few years back, I am hoping they have a longer life, now. I may try again...next year.
Blessings and Merry Christmas. Ginger
Your home and porch look beautiful, Kathleen! You really have decorated everything that didn't move on the porch - LOL. I love it!ReplyDelete
YOur home looks gorgeous! I can see why you're so exhausted. Love all of the plaid.ReplyDelete
- The Tablesscaper
Love the Dansk nativity. And I so want a red front door. What color is that?ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Just beautiful. Merry Christmas, Kathleen, to you and your family!ReplyDelete
Your decorations are so beautiful and inspiring...seems like I always wait too long or just not enough time period. Need to get off the excuse train and do something spectacular next year..copying lots of your pics for ideas!!ReplyDelete

One-of-a-kind national conference explores growing legal field of victims' rights
June 10, 2011
Marking its tenth anniversary, the country's only national conference devoted to crime victim issues was held in Portland June 14-15.
Keynote speakers included Susan Levy, the mother of Chandra Levy, whose murder drew national media attention. Levy will talk about her own experience in the judicial system and why victims' rights are critical.
The National Crime Victim Law Institute (NCVLI) convened prosecutors, legal experts, and advocates from across the country for a conference with the theme, 10 Years of Rights Enforcement: Creating the Future of Crime Victim Law. NCVLI, an organization based at Lewis & Clark Law School, is focused on victims' rights legal advocacy, education, and resource sharing.
More than 175 people from 20 states and the District of Columbia examined legal trends in crime victims' rights and specific issues such as sexual assault, identity theft, and the impact of the Internet and technology on victim rights.
"Finally, crime victims are being heard," said Meg Garvin, executive director of NCVLI and clinical law professor at Lewis & Clark Law School. "After a lot of litigating and educating, courts are finally recognizing that victims' rights make victims legal participants in the system, participants who can independently speak in court to ask for their rights and independently seek remedies if someone violates their rights."
Raising awareness for victims' rights across the nation
The concept of rights for crime victims has gained considerable momentum across the United States in the last two decades. High-profile national stories such as the Arizona shooting in January that killed six people and wounded 14, including U.S. Congresswoman Gabriel Gifford, have brought attention to the need for victims to have rights during and after prosecution of the perpetrator.
Oregon passed its own comprehensive victim rights legislation in 2008. Last month, the Oregon Supreme Court heard its first case brought by a victim under the new constitutional amendment.
Working with NCVLI and an attorney trained by NCVLI, a victim had a case overturned because it violated her rights. When the case was first tried, the defendant—charged with stalking the victim—reached a plea deal that was accepted by the trial court without affording the victim her rights to be present and heard at the sentencing. In May, the Oregon Supreme Court threw out the sentence because it violated the victim's rights.
Why victims' rights?
Federal and state laws now afford rights to victims of crime, including victims of crimes such as domestic violence, sexual assault, drunk driving, identity theft, robbery, and homicide.
Rights that are enforceable allow victims access to critical information and a voice in the criminal justice process: timely notification of upcoming hearings and proceedings involving their case; the right to be present in the courtroom during proceedings; the right to confer with the prosecutor; the right to protection from the accused; the right to be heard at proceedings that affect their rights, including the sentencing following the conviction of their offender; and the right to restitution.
Conference highlights
This conference trained lawyers and advocates on the law and the "how to" of litigating victims' rights. Other highlights from the conference:
- Ensuring that the child's voice is heard
- Financial recovery for crime victims
- Raped or 'seduced': How language helps shape our response to sexual violence
- Counseling crime victims about the impact of immigration law on criminal cases

I'm a java beginner and can´t figure out what´s wrong with my code.
The question is: How do I find the first null in an array of objects, arr[10], and then add an object, obj, to that index.
I can think of something like this:
for(int i = 0; i<10; i++) { if(arr[i] == null) { arr[i] = obj; return i; //return statement because we are inside a int-method } }
I can also think of something like "if (arr[i] != null) then do nothing, else do arr[i] = obj", but I think that´s an ugly solution.
Thankful for all kind of inputs

It's summer once again here in the Philippines and it's vacation time for most of us, this means a lot of us will be traveling again, either by plane, ship or car. Boracay, Panglao, Palawan, Puerto Galera are some of the tourist spots here in the Philippines that's going to be swarmed with local tourists. Flights to Caticlan and Bohol are again to be full, and the roads to Batangas is again going to be congested. Not to mention, Baguio is going to be crowded! Tagaytay is again going to experience power shortages because the number of tourists who flocks there every summer is so many that they are unable to continuously provide the high electricity consumption brought out be vacationers.
It's easy to get really excited to travel, but you should be careful, because every year we hear about stories that what was supposedly fun vacation became horror or sad stories. Usually, if we just pay attention to what's happening we are actually given some signs of danger.
I've been lucky enough to be able to travel a lot, either for business or leisure, and because of that I always make sure that I watch out for 'signs' that a specific trip may be affected by bad energy. I started paying more attention to these signs or omens because the last time I ignored a sign my father had a major stroke and passed away in China.
A month or two before my parent's annual trip to China, my father's passport went missing. They looked for it everywhere but it proved to be futile and they never found it, they had to rush a new passport for him. When my father got his new passport, my mother then lost her passport. However, this time they found it soon after. By this time, I already told my mom that maybe they shouldn't push through with the trip because it seems like a sign that they shouldn't be taking this trip. They've never lost their passports and for two passports to go missing seems like to be a sure sign.
When they got their passport, my parents went to get their visas. However, they had encountered another problem. I again reiterated my thought that maybe they shouldn't push through with the trip. My mother was already having second thoughts, but this is their annual trip to China, and more than leisure it's a pilgrimage to the biggest Kuan Yin in the world.
Although familiar with Feng Shui, I hadn't really taken up any formal training then, also I'm not yet familiar with the different Taoist and Buddhist oracles at that time. My mom then decided to consult a Taoist priest who supposedly can go into trance and channel the spirit of a Taoist deity. The response of this Taoist priest is that it's safe for my parents to take the trip.
My father had a stroke and died in China in that trip. Because of this I always make sure that I shall never ignore a bad travel luck sign or omen.
If you're going on a trip, do make sure that you don't ignore these omens or signs that you might have bad travel luck. The following are just some of the signs but please note that this is not complete and omens may vary from one person to another, but these are some of the most common signs.
First: Missing Essential Travel Paraphernalia
If you're missing essential travel paraphernalia such as your passport, a visa application form, or your travel bag, it may be a sign that you shouldn't be making that trip. If possible, postpone that trip, if not, go to a temple or a church and ask for protection. On the day of your trip wear a Sun Wukong and/or a Kalachakra Pendant.
Second: Running Into a Limping Dog or a Limping Cat
Running into a limping dog or cat on your way to the airport is a sure sign that something bad might happen when you arrive in your point of destination. . It is better to cancel the trip or postpone it. If you're unable to cancel it get a rock or sea salt and throw it behind your back. The act of throwing the salt behind you creates a celestial barrier between you and the bad luck. Carry a small pack sea or rock salt with you the entire duration of the trip.
Third: Dreaming of a Monster, Bad Spirits, Wild and/or Fierce Animal
If you dream of a monster, bad spirit or spirits, and/or scary fierce wild animals a few days or on the eve of the trip, you have to cancel your trip. It's a sure sign that something bad will happen. In fact, it may even cause death.
When I was about eight years old, I lost a cousin because his brother and parents ignored this warning. Before I move forward with the story, I just want to clarify; that what happened is n one's fault. They simply don't know how to interpret a warning.
Anyway, my cousins and their parents were invited by a business partner to go to their rest house for a short vacation. On the eve of their trip, the eldest son, F, dreamed of a beautiful spirit woman chasing him. She wants F to go with him. Still within the dream, F refused to go with the spirit woman. This angered the spirit woman and said if he refused to go with her, she'll just ask one of F's siblings to join her.
The following day, R, one of F's brothers shared with one of their sister that he dreamt of a beautiful but bad spirit woman riding with them in the car. This really didn't bother R and the sister. However, when it was time to leave, R, fell from a short flight of stairs, and had a very minor injury. Nothing that can't be treated with your ordinary home antiseptic, however, R felt uncomfortable and decided not to join them. However, their mom got angry and said it's embarrassing if he won't be joining them because their business partner is expecting the whole family to go.
Her mom won the argument and everybody went to the vacation as planned. That same afternoon they had a dipped in the swimming pool of the business partner's pool. The deepest part of the swimming pool is 5 feet deep, and R, who was 19 at that time, was around 5'5. My aunt and uncle, their business partner, the children of their business partner, my cousins, some of their maids, the family drivers of both family who were tasked to look after the swimming 'children' are all either in the pool or around the pool area. R, who knows how to swim, drowned and nobody noticed him. No cry for help, no struggle. He drowned at the middle part of the pool, which is about 4.5 feet deep.
They don't know what happened. They don't understand why nobody noticed him, because all in all they were about 20 of them in the pool or in the area around the pool!
When his parents consulted a Taoist priest about the incident, they were told that a spirit caused the accident. This is when F remembered his dream and the sister remembered what R told her.
If you happen to have a similar dream, even if it's not as vivid as that of my cousin's, I suggest you cancel your trip. If this is not possible do go to a church or a temple. You can also wear a Sun Wukong or A Chung Kwei (also spelled as Chong Kwei or Zhung Kwei). More about Chung Kwei on my future post. A Kalachakra Pendant will also help.
Fourth: A Minor Car Accident, a Flat Tire, and a Funeral
If on your way to the airport or to your destination, and if you had a minor accident, a flat tire, or you run into a funeral procession, that simply means that you have to be careful when you arrived in your destination. The minor accident, the flat tire, or the funeral only means that whatever danger or bad luck has been averted already, so do drop a small amount of money on the road. This is like paying back the good luck that you just got from the aborted bad luck. To understand these further do read my previous blog about funerals. Nevertheless, it still pays to be very careful.

About psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in children
Psoriasis is a genetic skin disease associated with the immune system. The immune system causes skin cells to reproduce too quickly. A normal skin cell matures and falls off the body's surface in 28 to 30 days. However, skin affected by psoriasis takes only three to four days to mature and move to the surface. Instead of falling off (shedding), the cells pile up and form lesions. The skin also becomes very red due to increased blood flow.
Who is affected?
The disease affects as many as 7.5 million people in the U.S, about 2.6 percent of the population. Psoriasis occurs nearly equally in men and women across all socioeconomic groups. It occurs in all races, though Caucasians are slightly more affected.
Ordinarily, people have their first outbreak between the ages of 15 and 35, but it can appear at any age. Approximately one-third of those who get psoriasis are under 20 years old when the disease first surfaces.
Every year, roughly 20,000 children under 10 years of age are diagnosed with psoriasis. Sometimes it is misdiagnosed because it is confused with other skin diseases. Symptoms include pitting and discoloration of the nails, severe scalp scaling, diaper dermatitis or plaques similar to that of adult psoriasis on the trunk and extremities. Psoriasis in infants is uncommon, but it does occur. Only close observation can determine if an infant has the disease.
one know
s exactly what causes psoriasis, but it has a genetic component. Most researchers agree that the immune system is somehow mistakenly triggered, which speeds up the growth cycle of skin cells.
Researchers believe that for a person to develop psoriasis, certain steps must happen. The individual must receive a combination of different genes that work together to cause psoriasis. The individual must then be exposed to specific factors that can trigger his or her particular combination of genes to cause the disease. These triggers are not yet fully understood or defined; however, certain types of infection and stress have been identified as potential triggers.
If one parent has
the disease, there is about a 10 percent chance of a child contracting it. If both parents have psoriasis, the chance increases to 50 percent. No one can predict who will get psoriasis. Scientists now believe that at least 10 percent of the general population inherits one or more of the genes that create a predisposition to psoriasis. However, only 2 to 3 percent of the population develops the disease.
Some young people report the onset of psoriasis following an infection, particularly strep throat. One-third to one-half of all young people with psoriasis may experience a flare-up two to six weeks after an earache, strep throat, bronchitis, tonsillitis or a respiratory infection. Areas of skin that have been injured or traumatized are occasionally the sites of psoriasis, know as the "Koebner [keb-ner] phenomenon." However, not everyone who has psoriasis develops it at the site of an injury.
Psoriatic arthritis
According to the Arthritis Foundation, approximately 294,000 children under the age of 18 are affected by some type of pediatric arthritis, including psoriatic arthritis. Psoriatic arthritis causes pain, stiffness and swelling in and around the joints and occurs in up to 30 percent of individuals with psoriasis. Children are more likely to experience the onset of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis simultaneously than adults, and arthritis may precede the skin disease in up to half of children who have it.
Psoriatic arthritis can develop at any time, but it most commonly appears between the ages of 30 and 50. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, a peak period of pediatric onset is age 11 to 12 in both boys and girls. As with psoriasis, genes, the immune system and environmental factors are all believed to play a role in the onset of the disease.
Early recognition, diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis are critical to relieve pain and inflammation and help prevent progressive joint damage.

The U.S. food safety system is characterized by inconsistent oversight, ineffective coordination, and inefficient use of resources; these characteristics have placed the system on GAOÂ's high-risk list. Assigning responsibility for examining and inspecting domestic and imported catfish to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) adds to the potential for the ineffective coordination and inefficient use of resources in food safety. Specifically, giving the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) such authority would introduce duplication into the already fragmented U.S. food safety system. Historically, FSIS has been responsible for meat, poultry, and processed egg products, and the Department of Health and Human ServiceÂ's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for all other food, including seafood. Moreover, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric AdministrationÂ's National Marine Fisheries Service, through its fee-for-service inspection program, assesses seafood processorsÂ' compliance with federal food safety regulations..
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) assigned regulatory responsibility for catfish inspection to USDA once the agency issues final regulations for the catfish inspection program. As GAO reported in May 2012, should USDA begin the catfish inspection program as mandated in the 2008 Farm Bill, the program would duplicate work already being conducted by FDA, and by the National Marine Fisheries Service, which provides fee-for-service inspections of seafood for industry.
Under FSIS's proposed program, processers would implement written sanitation and hazard control plans; FSIS would conduct continuous inspections of domestic catfish processing; and for imported catfish—which equal about 3 percent of all seafood imports—foreign countries would need to demonstrate equivalence to U.S. standards. According to FSIS's estimate, the annual cost to the federal government to implement this program would be about $14 million dollars. We did not independently audit FSIS's estimate, but we observed some limitations with FSIS's cost data and assumptions that would affect the final accuracy of the agency's estimate.
If FSIS's proposed program were implemented, GAO expects it would cause duplication and inefficient use of resources in several key areas. First, the program would require implementation of hazard analysis plans that are essentially the same as FDA's hazard analysis requirements. For example, both agencies' programs would require industry participants to identify hazards that are reasonably likely to occur; identify a point, step, or procedure in the production process where controls can be applied to deal with the hazard; establish corrective action plans; and establish record-keeping and documentation procedures, among other things. Second, if the program is implemented, as many as three agencies—FDA, FSIS, and the National Marine Fisheries Service—could inspect facilities that process both catfish and other types of seafood. Both FDA and National Marine Fisheries Service officials stated that continuous inspection will not improve catfish safety and, according to FDA officials, is counter to the use of FDA's hazard analysis requirements, in which systems are most efficiently monitored periodically rather than daily. Third, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, enacted in January 2011, gives FDA authority to establish a system to recognize accreditation bodies to accredit third-party auditors, including foreign governments, to conduct food safety audits to determine compliance with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and to certify that foreign seafood processors and imported seafood meet FDA regulatory requirements. FDA officials stated that this new authority complements FDA's existing authority to obtain assurances about the safety of seafood exports from countries with food safety systems FDA determined are comparable to those of the United States. With its new authority under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, FDA has an opportunity to enhance the safety of all imported seafood—including catfish—and to avoid the duplication of effort and cost that would result from FSIS's implementation of its proposed program.
With FDAA's new authority under the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, the federal government has an opportunity to enhance the effectiveness of the food safety system of all imported seafood, including catfish, and avoid the duplication of effort and costs that would result from FSISÂ's implementation of its proposed catfish inspection program. GAO recommended in May 2012 that Congress may wish to consider the following action:
Doing so could save U.S. taxpayers about $14 million dollars annually, according to FSIS estimates of the programÂ's cost.
The information contained in this analysis is based on findings from the product listed in the related GAO product section. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed FSISÂ's proposed catfish inspection program and related documents, including the risk assessment and impact analysis. In addition, GAO reviewed written public comments on the proposed regulations provided by industry and consumer groups. GAO interviewed officials from FSIS involved in the development of the proposed regulations and officials from FDA, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and other federal agencies, as well as representatives from industry and consumer advocacy groups. We reviewed the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act to identify the additional authorities to enhance the oversight of imported seafood this legislation granted FDA. We interviewed officials from FSIS, FDA, and the National Marine Fisheries Service to better understand FSISÂ's proposed program, its costs and benefits, and the similarities and differences between it and FDA and the National Marine Fisheries Service inspection programs. Table 1 in appendix IV lists the programs GAO identified that might have similar or overlapping objectives, provide similar services, or be fragmented across government missions. Overlap and fragmentation might not necessarily lead to actual duplication, and some degree of overlap and duplication may be justified.
In commenting on the May 2012 report on which this analysis is based, USDA stated that it appreciated our work in planning, conducting, and issuing the report and added that it was committed to completing the rulemaking process on catfish inspection in a manner that was consistent with the 2008 Farm Bill provisions.
GAO provided a draft of this report section to the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, and Health and Human Services for review and comment. The Departments did not have any comments on this report section and the Department of Agriculture reiterated its commitment to completing the rulemaking process on catfish inspection.

In determining that Salmonella is the primary food safety hazard in catfish, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) officials stated that the agency focused on Salmonella at the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which considered Salmonella the most practical hazard to evaluate. However, GAO found that FSIS used outdated and limited in...

for the Pennsic Independent
The Battle of the Thirty
For the third year at Pennsic, a noble group of the gentles assembled to attempt to recreate the Battle of the Thirty, a famous battle from the Hundred Years War. Thirty gentles under Earl Yngvar the Dismal of Æthelmearc represented the English, while Sir Kieran Annach MacLeod of the Midrealm led 30 French gentles.
This fight was fought using historic combat rules, meaning only a thrust to a vulnerable spot on the armor registered a kill. Fighters could also be "stunned" by sustaining three blows to the head. A stunned or yielding fighter could be captured and taken for ransom. Ransoms were paid with fabric, jewelry, furniture and many other fine items provided by the fighters. The first fight was rollicking affair with many ransoms paid on both sides. However, the French were able to score more kills and win the field. In the second, non-ransom fight, the French were able to barrel over their English counterparts.
Known World Unbelted Champions Tournament
The Kingdom of Ealdormere hosted a 15-man unbelted champions tournament for the fourth year. This tournament has gained wide acclaim in its short life and several kingdoms combined their forces for this brawl. TRMs Edouard and Domhnail had high praise for all the teams, but it was Atlantia who won the tournament with a 7-0 record.
Other scores included: Æthelmearc 6-1, East-Middle 5-2, Ealdormere 3-4, Artemisia-Adenveldt-Caid 3-4, Middle-East 2-5, Northshield-Trimaris 2-5, Calontir 0-7.
Duke Olaf's Two-Sword Tournament
Duke Olaf Askoldsson of Atlantia hosted a tournament for those who favor two swords. Duke Olaf noted, "Two-sword is an elite form and the elite came out to fight today." The contest was run as a double-elimination Atlantian speed tournament.
The tournament came down to Sir Gabriel of Maccuswell and Ritter Brion Londgraff Von Bellatrix in the finals. Sir Gabriel won the tournament by winning two straight fights.
Warriors of History Tournament
Duchy Von DrakenKlave hosted its second annual Warriors of History Tournament Sunday. The tournament encouraged gentles to bring armor from a specific time-period and encouraged authenticity.
After a melee in which warriors were grouped by century, won by the sixth century team, the warriors took part in a double elimination tournament. Brother Amos the Pius bested Baron Angus Kerr in the finals. Rodrigo Othello Alfonso DeGranada was also recognized for having the finest armor as he took the field in a sixth-century Byzantine kit.
Greybeard Tournament
Fighters who claim "I'm getting too old for this stuff" had no excuse Sunday as the Greybeard Tournament returned for a third year. Nineteen fighters over the age of 50 took part in this year's double elimination tournament.The finals came down to Sir Bran of Outremer and Master Ruslan Novgorodcev. Master Ruslan won the tournament by beating Sir Bran in two straight fights.

How many people will Cage slaughter until his blood lust is quenched? Click through to see an exclusive look at another demented Drive Angry DVD extra.
Here's a clip in which the director Patrick Lussier describes why it's always better to go with practical effects instead of CG — hence the crew having to throw an actual car off a bridge. This is Exhibit A for why real stunts and real effects wind up looking cooler.

In the finals of its own Holiday Basketball Tournament, Springside School expected to encounter stiff resistance from Neumann Goretti High School, but the host Lions were clearly ready. Forcing eight turnovers from the Saints in the first period alone, Springside acquired a 16-3 lead over those initial eight minutes of last Wednesday's championship game, laying the foundation for a 44-28 victory.
In the semifinal games a day earlier, Neumann Goretti had knocked off Bishop Walsh High School of Cumberland Maryland, while Springside topped Philly's own John W. Hallahan High School.
Scoring 29 points in her two tournament appearances, junior swing guard Sydni Epps of Springside was named MVP of the affair, and was joined on the All-Tournament Team by Lions junior forward Elana Roadcloud, Neumann Goretti forward Omowumi Rafiu and guard Adriana Sciascia, guard Ashley Turnbull of Bishop Walsh, and Hallahan guard Myeshia Matos.
Looking back on the start of the season roughly a month earlier, Epps remarked, "We're playing so much better now; we're working together better as a team. We consider communication on the court a key for us, and that's improved a lot."
Over the early weeks of the 2010-2011 campaign, each of the two seniors on the team went down with an injury and junior Alexis Giovinazzo was unexpectedly thrust into the role of starting point guard. Young players such as sophomore guard Gianna Pownall and freshman center Erin Garner have been called upon to make major contributions.
Since opening the season with out-of-state losses to two Maryland teams that have held national rankings, the Lions have gone 9-0.
Epps explained, "Our feeling was that after that first weekend down at that tournament in Maryland, we weren't looking at people as freshmen or sophomores or whatever. You've made the varsity team, so you're expected to perform as a varsity player."
With so many basketball tournaments scheduled during the week between Christmas and New Year's, it's difficult to get good match-ups in every game of a given event.
As Springside's holiday tournament opened on Tuesday evening, the host Lions romped to a 42-10 halftime lead against Hallahan, then continued to widen the gap until the scoreboard came to rest at 71-22.
Springside prevailed with a blend of speed and size, the speed coming from Epps, with 17 points, five rebounds, and four assists, and the size personified by the 6'3" Garner, with 15 points, 10 boards, and four blocked shots. Also scoring in double figures were Roadcloud (14) and junior power forward Michelle Boggs (10), while the rest of the Lions' total came from three guards, Pownall (seven points), junior Aly Markey (four), and freshman Julia Schumacher (four).
Leading the Mickey Mice of Hallahan were Matos, with seven points, and Kystin Franz, with four.
In the tournament's third-place consolation game on Wednesday, a late rally by Hallahan fell short, and Bishop Walsh prevailed, 63-51. The two All-Tournament players in that contest produced similar results, as Turnbull wound up with a game-high 22 points for the victors, while Matos scored 21 for Hallahan.
At the end of last season, the Springside team attended the annual tournament at Bishop Walsh, an event which also attracted some high-powered programs from Baltimore and Washington D.C. to the mountains of western Maryland. The Lions returned the favor by inviting their friends from south of the Mason Dixon Line to the holiday tournament here. To the delight of the home crowd, the Bishop Walsh contingent in the stands gave a hearty cheer of "Springside!" as the Lions came off the court at halftime of the championship game.
The meeting between the Lions and Neumann Goretti in the finals was also a sort of Cardinal Dougherty High School reunion, as each team fielded several players who'd been on the Cardinals' hoop squad last winter, prior to the permanent closing of the school in June. The former CD players for Springside were juniors Boggs and Roadcloud and senior Brenna Coll (who is just coming off the injured list following a high-ankle sprain), while Saints juniors Jackie Crowley and Amanda Vassallo also originally played for Dougherty.
After the Lions' Pownall put her team up 3-0 with a driving lay-up and an accompanying free throw, Springside never trailed, going up 8-1 before Crowley scored the Saints' lone field goal of the first quarter. The host team's defense kept forcing turnovers from the visitors, and Roadcloud nudged the count to 9-3 with a free throw before Epps finished the quarter with a flourish, spreading the score to 16-3.
In the last two minutes, she lofted a three-pointer from the left wing, sliced inside for a running lay-up, and then wowed the crowd at the buzzer with an unlikely running bank shot from about 17 feet out on the right side.
Garner and Boggs went to work in the paint, and three minutes into the second period the Lions led 23-4. The Saints needed to get more touches inside for the 6'2" Rafiu, and they succeeded late in the opening half as the Nigerian import hit two lay-ups and a pair of free throws.
However, the Lions had the last word in the second quarter, as they had in the first. Sophomore guard Maddi Hinchey (another Springsider who missed a number of early games due to injury) drove the lane with two seconds left to give the locals a 29-13 lead at halftime.
Although Springside limited Rafiu to just two points when play resumed, guard Maureen Fiocca came on to score all of her seven points for the night during the second half. Still, Neumann Goretti shaved only one point off its deficit in the third quarter, which ended at 37-22.
With 2:41 left to play, Fiocca's final lay-up of the night got the Saints within 13 points of the leaders (39-26), but the Lions' Garner scored from underneath the basket and then assisted on an Epps lay-up to widen the gap once more.
Epps ended up with an even dozen in the scoring column and Garner combined 11 points with seven rebounds. Roadcloud led the Lions on the boards with eight grabs and deposited five points, while Boggs logged four points, six rebounds, and four assists. Pownall scored nine points and Giovinazzo chipped in with a free throw for the tourney champs.
Rafiu finished with nine points for the Saints, and Crowley added six.

recently we run into a bug in Extension Manager CS5 and CS5.5 that prevented extensions from being installed on Mac OS 10.7. The problem had to do with accessing the system root keychain on MacOS. While we are working on making an update to Extension Manager available in the next 2 weeks through Adobe Update Manager (AUM), we are making a fix available today to developers and end users. Attached are two zip files that contain the fix and instructions on how to apply it:
exman50.zip – applies for Extension Manager 5.0 users
exman55.zip – applies for Extension Manager 5.5 users
Note 1: Applying the manual fix is not necessary. You could still wait until the update through AUM is available.
Note 2: The fix we make available is different than the one that will be available through AUM.
Note 3: No update is necessary for CS Extension Builder or the CS SDK.
You can also find the entire thread on the Adobe Forums here.
Thank you for your patience. For any questions, please reply directly to the thread above.

Another in the series of results from or about the Find-A-Grave website.
There is a problem here, based on the previous blog posts on this topic. That is, when the Web Merge was done, the Source was a generic, Free Form Source for Ancestry.com. In my file(s), I want as many Sources in the Template, or Evidence Explained! format. May be this is picky, but the output is so much better, for me at least.
What we have so far is a Free Form Citation. To Move that citation into the Template. Return to the Source and Citation that came from the Web Merge in the Left panel and selecting that source, then clicking on the Down Arrow in the Right Column, the Template is then selected. In this case, Web; Ancestry.com Maine, Find A Grave Index, 1777-2011 (create in another blog post
Find-A-Grave - Create Source Template
The Free Form citation will now be in the Template Format. BUT, there is data in that Free Form screen that needs to be moved into the Template.
Note: the order of filling out the Citation Details and the Citation Text is not important. I did it in this order for someone who may not have created a Template before.
To move the Free Form to the Template form
Right clicking on the Old Citation, will being up a window on the right, and select Replace Citation.
This will bring up the list of Sources, where we want to select Web: Ancestry.com; Maine, Find A Grave Index, 1777-2011 again.
Where we select the Template Citation.
You will be asked "Are you sure" and give you the old and new, so the answer would be Yes if this information is correct.
The new Template Citation is now as it should be. The free form information is now present AND the link to View the Online Source is still here. The Reference Note is now as it should be.
The Reference Note will now look like this:

What. A. Day!
As I packed my workout bag this morning I found myself trying to contain my excitement. It kept rushing out of my mouth as laughs and smiles, out of my body as I danced up the stairs to awake Troy. He didn't find it quite so amusing!
I haven't run the pavement route around Big Lake in .. well .. a real long time. It's something that I have been doing for as long as I've been running. I've taken it for granted. When I don't have time to get to the trail I run around Big Lake, after work. The route I run is the Big Lake 8K course which takes place in June.
42 degrees forecast today. No wind. Sunshine. Amazing.
I placed my run shoes, light run pants, single long sleeved top into my bag. iPod, charger-had to charge up at work-I haven't needed my iPod for quite some time.
During the day I found myself anticipating my run. Would the asphalt hurt? Would I have to stop? Would I love it as much I used to?
Would Troy and the guys have to wait very long for me? Troy and his friends were lifting after school. I drive them home, we meet at the car at 345. I told him it might take me until 4 to finish today's run. He was fine with this and wished me good luck :)
As I clocked out and carried my bag to the restroom I thought of all the prep this took. Packing my bag, charging my iPod, water bottle, hanging up work clothes, changing into run clothes, pack away winter coat, boots, work shoes, put on run shoes. Hair tie. Sunglasses. Haul bag, purse, etc. out to car, leave open for Troy and boys.
OK, lets do this Julie.
Weeeee!!! Off I go. Diggin' it.
Bluebird blue sky, sunshine, no wind. A perfect day. It's winter! This is a perfect day in Spring as well. Running along the road, feeling no pain. No crunch of the discs, no numbing of arm, hand, no tingling in fingers. Oh my gosh. I have missed this so much. This was a part of my day, my being. It just was. Today I prepared and thought about it all day. It will again just be a part of my day.
As I was running I began to think of the first race I ever ran. It was right here. The Big Lake 8K in 1998. Run Club with my dear friend Ann, God bless her soul. She passed of cancer 6 years ago next month. Running with Topaz on these roads when he was a pup, we were waiting for Tyler to take his guitar lessons. Coaching my beginning woman run classes upon this route.
Still no pain, just joy. Joy in running, breathing, seeing, feeling.
As I ran along I saw Heidi! Heidi was in one of the first classes I coached, she continued with a second class and I began to coach her privately. She has since run Ragnar Relay and even Twin Cities Marathon. Heidi is getting back to running after going through chemotherapy and is looking so strong and beautiful. We stopped and chatted. We spoke of how thankful we were to be out running. We get it. We know how the other feels. We know what running means to us. It isn't just running, it is everything than goes with it. It is everything that we almost lost, but it is coming back and we are joyful.
We separated and I just couldn't help but feel this run was just meant to be. I am so very grateful to have experienced it.
I arrived back to the parking lot, to my car. I could see Troy and the boys inside waiting. I wondered how long it took me? I purposely hadn't worn a watch. This wasn't a timed run. This was run to gauge my recovery. I opened the door and Troy said he could see my smile as I turned the corner. I asked him what time it was. 5 minutes earlier than I had anticipated. He asked me if I hurt. No, no pain. He gave me a high five and said "You are back, Mim. You are back".
We dropped off the boys, arrived home. Mexican chicken in the crockpot would hold for another 30 minutes. I took Topaz for a neighborhood spin. 3 miles, more pavement and no pain. I like to think I'm back, too.
Feeling gratitude. Gratitude and Joy.

Furry family suspected in flooding incident
Animal home causes at least $120,000 in damage
The culvert at the St. Johnsbury-Lyndon Industrial Park is working fine now, but above it, one gets a glimpse of what happened when it wasn't.
"We're small towns and there's always something unexpected," said John Hall, St. Johnsbury town manager.
Early July's heavy rains ate away half the road as the adjacent wetland started to fill up and didn't stop.
Damage estimates are coming in at at least $120,000.
"One of the biggest problems you have with town roads is just this," said Hall, pointing to an area near the culvert. He suspects weather wasn't the factor in the flooding. Beavers have made a home in the area.
"Beavers are a culvert's worst friend. They cause a lot of culvert problems. They're hard workers," Hall said. "I mean, you rip out the dam and by the time you hop in the truck and head home, they're putting it back together again."
He added the rising water wasn't just a concern for the road.
"Millions of gallons of water would rush down to the valley, around the country club, and it would have been high enough to take out some of their property," Hall said.
Town officials have since drained the area and dismantled the dam.
Hall said he comes to check on his furry problem each day, but hasn't spotted a beaver again.
"There's also a beaver dam up around the corner too, " he said, pointing to the back of the wetland. "You can't see from here, so they may have just moved to the suburbs."
St. Johnsbury and Lyndonville town officials plan to work with the industrial park managers to figure out how to pay for the flooding damage. They're hoping FEMA will help fund repairs and said they've already submitted a claim.
This isn't the first time a Vermont town has had a problem like this. In 2010, beavers built a dam underneath a road in Thetford where a pond flowed, causing flooding. The high waters created such a safety concern that town officials planned to trap and kill the beavers. The decision caused an uproar among community members, who brainstormed an idea: use a steel plank to support the road if it were to flood again. The idea ultimately saved that family of beavers.
News Channel 5 spoke with Chris Bernier, a biologist with the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department, who said it is not illegal for a property owner to remove a beaver dam that is causing issues like flooding. Bernier said it's not against the law to shoot the animals, although he does consider it inhumane. The beaver expert recommends calling a game warden and a trapping specialist.

The eyeball tattooing procedures were done by Howie (LunaCobra.net), with photos by Lane Jensen (of Tattoo and Piercing Magazine). The first procedure was done on Pauly Unstoppable using a traditional hand-poked technique. The eye distorted significantly but it was difficult to get ink to hold. Probably about forty strikes in all were done but so far it seems like limited ink held.
Because the we had trouble getting the ink under the surface (and were able to "wash" it out of the small needle incisions), we tried the second procedure, on Josh using a 29ga needle and syringe, thinning down the ink very slightly with an antibiotic eyewash. Since the goal was simply to blanket the white of the eye in color, there wasn't a need for fine detail. The first injection was shallow and appeared to dissipate on the surface, but the second injection was at the perfect level and formed a dark bubble of ink just over the sclera (in the third picture you can see some of the ink running back out of the injection hole).
Finally, we did my eye, using the injection method as well although this time with a 28ga needle. It is extremely difficult to precisely get the needle into the right layer. In my case the first one appears to be slightly shallow, with the second injection potentially entering the sclera itself (so basically there's a bubble of ink in too deep a layer, although it appears to be surfacing).
The procedures themselves were effectively painless because there aren't nerve endings in the surface of the eye, and we did additional control with lidocaine drops which numbed the lids. After pain is fairly minor, although we all have bruising and some discomfort. I have what appears to almost be blistering between the sclera and conjunctiva which is worrying me a little but so far I don't have reason to believe this is abnormal. Aftercare, at least in my case, is antibiotic drops and a patch.
In any case, we'll keep you updated!
I really have to emphasize again that the procedure was extensively researched and done by people who were aware of the risks and possible complications and that it should not be casually attempted. Now that this experiment has been started, please wait for us to either heal or go blind before trying it!

The Wall Street Journal's India Real Time talked to Salil Shetty, secretary-general of Amnesty International, about human rights in the country during 2012. We talked with Mr. Shetty about the recent horrific rape in Delhi, India's attempts to police Internet content and the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which shields security forces serving in Kashmir and the northeast of the country from prosecution. Here are edited excerpts from the conversation.
India Real Time: Why do you think the rape of a 23-year old in Delhi this month has caused such public anger?
Mr. Salil Shetty: Following the Delhi rape, because it happened in a particular way and it happened in Delhi, it grabbed people's attention. Fact of the matter is: violence of all sorts, people are getting away with it. Sexual violence itself…How many incidents have we seen in the last one year or so – Guwahati, Bangalore - and those are the ones which are very extreme. Impunity, which is at the heart of many of the issues, is that people think they can do things and get away with it.
WSJ: Why do you think so many people are calling for the death penalty for those found guilty of the latest rape?
Mr. Shetty: Taking the Delhi rape case, we have senior leaders asking for death penalty for people who have committed the rape. We get mixed up with the issues. They say that two wrongs make a right, that's effectively what they are saying. Somebody commits a crime, so we will commit one more. As far as Amnesty International is concerned we say death penalty under any circumstances is a crime, we think it is contrary to the right to life. There's a real direct problem. The empirical evidence shows that it doesn't have a deterrent effect. There is no correlation between the two. We are looking to India to become one of the states that completely stops execution.
WSJ: Recently two women in Mumbai were arrested for posting comments on Facebook that the city should not have shut down after Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray's death in November. What do you think of this?
Mr. Shetty: Information will flow. We are in a digital world you need to deal with it and you can't have archaic ideas. What are you going to do? Control text messages? It's not possible, people are going to express themselves. The idea that you are going to come down like a ton of bricks on those two women in Mumbai is bizarre.
WSJ: Are you still pushing for investigations into the killings in Gujarat state in 2002, when more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in retaliation for an attack on Hindus by a Muslim mob?
Mr. Shetty: Amnesty International is still concerned about the lack of justice for victims of the 2002 Gujarat riots. Investigations and trial processes have made headway in only a handful of cases. We urge the new government in Gujarat to strengthen its efforts to investigate all those suspected of being involved in the 2002 killings, whether they are political leaders, police or government officials.
WSJ: What do you think is one of the biggest and least spoken about human rights issues in India?
Mr. Shetty: The most challenging thing in this country is access to justice. If you have power, if you have influence then the law doesn't matter. That cannot continue to be the system, that's the system we have prevalent in many places. The criminal justice system doesn't deliver. And it takes us back to the lack of accountability, impunity.
WSJ: And if you could change one law in India with the aim of protecting human rights, what would it be?
Mr. Shetty: Of course, some unbelievably outrageous laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, or AFSPA. Everybody -- internationally and domestically -- is saying that it is not in line with India's international obligations. The AFSPA is a law unto itself; it's a lawless law.
