Jenn Bennett Osorio has been involved in the birth community in Tampa for over four years now. Her initial experience was spent working as a birth assistant at a busy birth center where she attended births and taught comprehensive childbirth education. Jenn is also a placenta encapsulation specialist, CAPPA trained childbirth educator, and DONA trained birth doula. Her draw to birth began around the age of four watching her mother and aunt take turns having babies. Unlike other four year olds she wasn't buying the stork story and was absolutely fascinated with the concept of childbirth. After experiencing her own births she felt called to midwifery practice and began attending midwifery school in 2015 at the Florida School of Traditional Midwifery in Gainesville, Florida. When she's not in school, or apprenticing she spends her days in a pile of books or out doing "nature-y science stuff" with her three sons and husband. Her mission is to find her way out of said pile of books and to provide the women and families of her community with better birth and prenatal care.

The neighbor said if local children kicked a ball into the compound, someone from inside would pay the children for the ball rather than let them step onto the grounds.
From CNN, via MonkeyCage.
From the comments: "Not surprisingly, the kids understood incentives. The lead audio report now on the NYT says that the kids would be given 50 rupees (about $1.12 USD according to x-rates.com) and that they would therefore repeatedly kick the ball over the fence."

Locally-based Guard unit won't be mobilized
Monday, March 25, 2013 7:47 AM
An Indiana National Guard unit based in Huntington won't be mobilized this summer as planned.
The Huntington-based unit, Delta company of the 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry, was one of three Indiana National Guard units slated to deploy to Africa as part of Operation Enduring Freedom-Trans Sahara.
The state organization's adjutant general, Maj. Gen. R. Martin Umbarger, announced March 19 that the units have been "off-ramped from mission as a result of an immediate fiscal year 2013 budget shortfall."
Instead of using Guard units for the mission, said Capt. Kathryn Elkins of the Indiana National Guard Public Affairs Office, active duty units will be sent instead.
Elkins said she doesn't know if the Guard unit will be scheduled for deployment anytime soon.
"There's no way for us to say that," she said.
In addition to the 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry, other units slated to deploy in June were the 1st Squadron, 152nd Cavalry, and Company D, 113th Combat Support Battalion. Those units have also been pulled off the mission.
"The combination of the Budget Control Act of 2011, sequestration and the underfunding of fiscal year 2013 Overseas Contingency Operations requirements have severely constrained the Army's ability to perform directed missions with previously planned reserve component forces," Guard officials explained.

I have a wide variety of handguns(Beretta,HK,Springfield,Glock,Kahr,S&W,Rossi,Colt,H&R).I think that about covers it.I always thought Sig's were overrated,just because of the facts I heard came from mouths that I didn't deem reliable.Then I shot one and I bought two.One reconditioned and one new w/threaded barrel.Both are 226's 9MM.Both are very well balanced and all the other high praises that have been previously said and more.I can't say that they are my favorite as all my weapons has it's own little special quality that makes unique for me.The one thing that does really stand out for Sig's are ease of break-down.I'm sure this has made it as clear as mud for you.Good luck in your choice,I don't think you can wrong though.

LSD has always been a center of controversy in American society, often times because people have been miseducated about its effects or exposed to media bias. Its physiological effects on the brain and body have become more and more apparent in the last few decades when research in neuroscience peaked. The psychological effects of LSD have been often difficult to describe and document very well -- they were first discovered on April 16, 1943 by research chemist Albert Hofmann when a small amount of the drug soaked through his fingers during a routine synthesis. He experienced an imaginative dream-like state for a duration of about 2-3 hours (Hofmann, 1983). Since then, a great deal of work has been done attempting to document the health effects of LSD.
LSD can be administered a number of ways, the most common: orally through paper, sugar cubes, on a piece of gelatin, or by pill; intravenously; or intramuscularly. A standard dose with noticeable hallucinogenic effects is about 100-200 ug. The intensity of the trip is proportional to the size of the dose -- it is interesting to note, though, that the duration of the trip seems to stay the same at higher doses (Freedman, 1984). The initial effects begin 20-40 minutes with a sense of euphoria and dizziness. Hallucinations then begin to occur, with the trip peaking for 4-5 hours after about an hour since the drug is taken. LSD is best described as a drug that strikes down barriers. The person who uses LSD is likely to feel detached from his/her ego, and can cross between states of consciousness. The user's perceptions are altered, causing visual and auditory hallucinations. One may notice that the walls of room are "breathing" or that motionless curtains appear to be moving. Senses appear to mix: a user might see music, taste colors, or hear visual stimuli. The LSD experience is often difficult to describe by users -- words lose meaning and are often insufficient in describing the effects of the drug; thoughts may seem unclear. Effects taper off after about 6-8 hours and are usually completely gone after a nights sleep.
The user's mood is likely to change depending on how he/she feels at various stages of the trip. The outcome of the trip is almost always dependent on two primary variables: the set and the setting. The set refers to a user's expectations of the drug's effects and the user's state-of-mind. The setting is the environment in which the drug is taken. If an inexperienced user takes LSD in stressed condition or in a bad mood, a bad experience may occur. By the same token, taking LSD in a chaotic environment like a noisy rock concert could turn into trouble for someone unsure of the drugs effects. When users on LSD become frightened or enter a state of panic, they can usually be relieved or "talked down" by a friend. With this in mind, probably the best way to use LSD would be in one's home with several trusting supportive friends.
The following is a fairly long, but very informative account of one of the first documented LSD trips done by Albert Hofmann in 1943:
"4/19/43 16:20: 0.5 cc of 1/2 promil aqueous solution of diethylamide tartrate orally=0.25 mg tartrate. Taken diluted with about 10 cc water. Tasteless.
17:00: Beginning dizziness, feeling of anxiety, visual distortions, symptoms of paralysis, desire to laugh.
Supplement of 4/21: Home by bicycle. From 18:00 - ca.20:00 most severe crisis. (See special report.)"
Here the notes in my laboratory journal cease. I was able to write the last words only with great effort. By now it was already clear to me that LSD had been the cause of the remarkable experience of the previous Friday, for the altered perceptions were of the same type as before, only much more intense. I had to struggle to speak intelligibly. I asked my laboratory assistant, who was informed of the self-experiment, to escort me home. We went by bicycle, no automobile available because of wartime restrictions on their use. On the way home, my condition began to assume threatening forms. Everything in my field of vision wavered and was distorted as if seen in a curved mirror. I also had the sensation of being unable to move from the spot. Nevertheless, my assistant later told me that we had traveled very rapidly. Finally, we arrived at home safe and sound, and I was just barely capable of asking my companion to summon our family doctor and request milk from the neighbors.
The dizziness and sensation of fainting became so strong at times that I could no longer hold myself erect, and had to lie down on a sofa. My surroundings had now transformed themselves in more terrifying ways. Everything in the room spun around, and the familiar objects and pieces of furniture assumed grotesque, threatening forms. They were in continuous motion, animated, as if driven by an inner restlessness. The lady next door, whom I scarcely recognized, brought me milk -- in the course of the evening I drank more than two liters. She was no longer Mrs. R., but rather a malevolent, insidious witch with a colored mask.
Even worse than these demonic transformations of the outer world, were the alterations that I perceived in myself, in my inner being. Every exertion of my will, every attempt to put an end to the disintegration of the outer world and the dissolution of my ego, seemed to be a wasted effort. A demon had invaded me, had taken possession of my body, mind, and soul. I jumped up and screamed, trying to free myself from him, but then sank down again and lay helpless on the sofa. The substance, with which I wanted to experiment, had vanquished me. It was the demon that scornfully triumphed over my will. I was seized by the dreadful fear of going insane. I was taken to another world, another place, another time. My body seemed to be without sensation, lifeless, strange. Was I dying? Was this the transition? At times I believed myself to be outside my body, and then perceived clearly, as an outside observer, the complete tragedy of my situation. I had not even taken leave of my family (my wife, with our three children had traveled that day to visit her parents, in Lucerne). Would they ever understand that I had not experimented thoughtlessly, irresponsibly, but rather with the utmost caution, and that such a result was in no way foreseeable? My fear and despair intensified, not only because a young family should lose its father, but also because I dreaded leaving my chemical research work, which meant so much to me, unfinished in the midst of fruitful, promising development. Another reflection took shape, an idea full of bitter irony: if I was now forced to leave this world prematurely, it was because of this lysergic acid diethylamide that I myself had brought forth into the world.
By the time the doctor arrived, the climax of my despondent condition had already passed. My laboratory assistant informed him about my self-experiment, as I myself was not yet able to formulate a coherent sentence. He shook his head in perplexity, after my attempts to describe the mortal danger that threatened my body. He could detect no abnormal symptoms other than extremely dilated pupils. Pulse, blood pressure, breathing were all normal. He saw no reason to prescribe any medication. Instead he conveyed me to my bed and stood watch over me. Slowly I came back from a weird, unfamiliar world to reassuring everyday reality. The horror softened and gave way to a feeling of good fortune and gratitude, the more normal perceptions and thoughts returned, and I became more confident that the danger of insanity was conclusively past.
Now, little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux. It was particularly remarkable how every acoustic perception, such as the sound of a door handle or a passing automobile, became transformed into optical perceptions. Every sound generated a vividly changing image, with its own consistent form and color.
Late in the evening my wife returned from Lucerne. Someone had informed her by telephone that I was suffering a mysterious breakdown. She had returned home at once, leaving the children behind with her parents. By now, I had recovered myself sufficiently to tell her what had happened.
Exhausted, I then slept, to awake next morning refreshed, with a clear head, though still somewhat tired physically. A sensation of well-being and renewed life flowed through me. Breakfast tasted delicious and gave me extraordinary pleasure. When I later walked into the garden, in which the sun shone now after a spring rain, everything glistened and sparkled in fresh light. The world was as if newly created. All my senses vibrated in a condition of highest sensitivity, which persisted for the entire day." (Hofmann, 1983).
The long-term effects of LSD use can be both good and bad. There are cases of people who claim to have had their entire lives turned around, for the better, due to LSD use. On the other hand, some people have been hospitalized by so-called "LSD psychosis." In the late 1960s, several studies indicated possible chromosome breakage due to LSD use. Some people report experiencing "LSD flashbacks" -- brief vivid repetitions of a previous LSD experience.
The effects of LSD are very strong and profound. Many people have claimed to have discovered their inner selves under the influence of LSD. One interesting analogy was made by Professor Jeffrey M. Blum of the University of Buffalo School of Law:
"The problems posed by LSD, for example, in some ways resemble those presented by scuba diving. Each is seen as a form of exploration that opens new vistas. Hence participants often find the activity enormously stimulating and inspiring. Each activity poses a small but significant risk of serious personal harm, these being death in one and aggravation of pre-existing states of mental instability for the other. Untrained, unsupervised use of unchecked substances or equipment are ill-advised in both cases." (Blum, 1990)LSD also has shown to have therapeutic usefulness. It has been successful in treating some forms of schizophrenia (Hoffer, 1970). Another study found notable success in treating terminally-ill cancer patients: two-thirds of the subjects showed positive change in anxiety, emotional tension, psychological isolation, fear of death, and the amount of pain medication needed (Pahnke et al., 1970). Studies that have shown LSD useful in treating alcoholism and other addictions are contradictory and may be inconclusive. Pahnke's group (1970) reported moderate success in treating alcoholism, but Ludwig (1970) found less-than-encouraging results. It's important to note, though, that both of these studies used vastly different treatment styles and dosages of the drug.
Some users of LSD experience what is clinically referred to as LSD psychosis, schizophrenic-like disorders that seem to be triggered by using the drug. However, in careful analysis of LSD psychosis patients, it appears that those who have strong family histories of major psychosis or psychopathology are more vulnerable than those who do not (Tsuang et al., 1982). Vardy et al. (1983) reported similar findings, as well as that LSD psychotics have significantly higher rates of parental alcoholism than control groups. In a survey of five-thousand individuals who had used LSD a total of twenty-five-thousand times, Cohen (1960) found 1.8 psychotic episodes per thousand ingestions, 1.2 attempted suicides, and 0.4 completed suicides -- figures consistent with the those of the general population. Regarding dangers of psychosis in therapeutic uses of LSD, Pahnke et al. (1970) notes:
"Since 1963 at the Spring Grove State Hospital, and now at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, over 300 patients have been treated with LSD without a single case of long-term psychological or physical harm directly attributable to the treatment, although there have been two post-LSD disturbances which have subsequently responded to conventional treatment."Bad reactions to LSD are almost certainly dependent on the user. It is becoming increasingly easier to diagnose schizophrenics clinically as patients suffering physical disorders -- these people should be very cautious, if not completely avoidant of truly powerful psychoactive drugs like LSD. There are another class of people who use LSD irresponsibly, ignoring important factors like set and setting -- bad reactions, more acute then chronic, are likely to occur here as well.
Really the only serious physiological concern about LSD use has been that it may cause chromosome damage -- this was first reported by Cohen et al. in 1967. These findings were seldom replicated, and were contradicted by other studies (Loughman et al., 1967; Bender et al., 1968; Pahnke, 1970). In 1977, Maimon Cohen, one of the invesigators who first reported this a decade earlier, stated that no conclusions could be drawn based on existing evidence (Cohen et al., 1977).
The phenomena of LSD flashbacks has been over-sensualized by the media for many years. Flashbacks are associated with highly emotional experiences and often happen to people who have never used psychedelic drugs. A frightening war memory, being raped, or even getting married, can all trigger flashbacks quite some time later. Thus, an emotional experience on LSD can also cause flashbacks. Flashbacks also occur due to post-traumatic stress disorder, associated with victims of disaster and extreme violence -- it is estimated that 1% of the general population suffers from this ("Journey for Better Life," 1992).
LSD is a very potent drug, but is physically quite safe and non-toxic. Its effects include mild euphoria and anxiety, altered perceptions, and the ability to pass between states of consciousness. Visual hallucinations are the most noticeable by users. The acute effects taper off as time progresses and are usually gone by the next morning.
Chronic effects of the drug can be positive and negative. Positive effects include spiritual contact and self-exploration; the most severe negative effect is known as LSD psychosis. LSD has shown to have therapeutic usefulness, although research has been severely limited for the last several decades. LSD psychosis has been linked to forms of schizophrenia, and thus, to some physiological disorders -- it appears to be dependent on the user, and not on the drug.

I really like my new boyfriend but unfortunately when we have sex it hurts. It wasn't like that with my exes. He is proud of his staying power and I don't want to put him off by complaining, so I grin and bear it, but sometimes it's so bad that I'm in agony.
Stop! Never put up with dyspareunia (painful intercourse). If you continue, you may develop an even more serious sexual disorder called vaginismus, where the vaginal muscles go into spasm and prevent penetration altogether. You must enlighten your boyfriend ("I love being with you and you really turn me on but there's something we need to work on"). Enlist his help as a fellow detective to figure out the cause. Are you really well-lubricated before he enters? If not, ask for more foreplay and if necessary help yourself. Add a water-based lubricant if you are low on oestrogen for any reason. Dehydrating medicines such as some cold remedies can cause dryness and lead to friction pain.
When you are absolutely ready, try getting on top of him so you can be in control and search for a comfortable position. Is he on the large side? Experiment with different positions and allow thrusting only when it is pleasurable. Stop immediately if it hurts. Build up gradually and reward him for his patience. If you can't find a pain-free position, see a gynaecologist or sexual pain specialist. Finally, take a look at your willingness to accept pain in the name of keeping someone else happy. Is this occurring in other areas of your life? Martyrdom is overrated - you deserve better.

No. Wrong way to look at it. What the Pistons did in adding Andre Drummond and Slava Kravtsov was arm themselves with the ability to be as flexible as they need to be in an NBA where not many teams have the luxury of winning the same way every night.
And let's start with that. In a copycat league, if you're going to hold Miami up as the example of how to build, well … good luck with that. Never mind the Pat Riley blueprint that enabled the free-agent recruiting pitch to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh two summers ago.
Ignore how Miami was assembled and focus on the reality of trying to match up with the sheer athleticism the Heat can muster in a lineup that includes Bosh at center, James at power forward and Wade anywhere from point guard to small forward surrounded by Swiss Army knife Shane Battier and, now, Ray Allen.
If you're going to respond in kind to that lineup and try to win small, you're in for a long night.
Matching up with other teams is a little less problematic, but matching up at all was a difficult chore a season ago for Lawrence Frank. It doesn't figure to be going forward. Not only have the Pistons added frontcourt size and athleticism with Drummond and Kravtsov, they've added depth, size and athleticism on the wings, too.
Corey Maggette's addition probably deserves more attention than it's gotten. Not only has Maggette been one of the NBA's absolute best at drawing fouls and shooting free throws for a decade, but his presence is one obvious way that allows the Pistons to match up when teams go small.
When Austin Daye's confidence sputtered last season, Damien Wilkins became Tayshaun Prince's backup at small forward. That pretty much cut Frank off at the knees with respect to shifting Prince to power forward in the final minutes of games when most teams now throw their five best players on the floor, which in many cases means downsizing. Prince isn't a big fan of playing power forward, but if it means matching up primarily with other perimeter players it isn't going to faze him, physically or mentally.
Even if Maggette can't stay injury-free – he's coming off an injury-riddled season that made him available for roughly half of Charlotte's games – Kyle Singler affirmed the Pistons' belief in his NBA readinesss, based on his success in Spain, with his play in the Orlando Pro Summer League. And Singler, nearly 6-foot-9 himself and noticeably stronger than when he left Duke after a year of Spain's rigorous focus on strength training, provides another power forward option against downsizing teams.
The Pistons will be incorporating five rookies: Kravtsov, Drummond, Singler, Kim English and Khris Middleton. That's never an easy task, but it's much better done this season than last. Lawrence Frank is now entrenched and unencumbered by the lockout. All newcomers but Kravtsov got a crash course in Camp Frank during their nine days in Orlando. Frank's summer ruminations this time around are grounded in firsthand observation and personal knowledge of his players, not the supposition and tape study of a summer ago.
And in Kravtsov, Singler and English, the Pistons are getting unusually well-prepared rookies. Singler and English are both five years removed from high school – Singler four years at Duke and one professional season abroad, English a prep school postgraduate year plus four seasons at Missouri – and Kravtsov has been a professional for several seasons. By the time the season starts, Singler and English will be 24, Kravtsov 25.
If Drummond and Kravtsov are both good enough to push for minutes, Greg Monroe could wind up spending as much time playing power forward as center this year and see that ratio start tipping the other way soon. If Frank wants to keep Monroe at center without sacrificing size or scoring in the frontcourt, he has Charlie Villanueva and Austin Daye available as stretch fours. Jason Maxiell has endeared himself to a string of teammates and coaching staffs for his utter reliability and toughness.
If English is as ready to play as his Orlando run suggested, Frank could pair him with Rodney Stuckey when Brandon Knight needs a rest and field a physically imposing defensive backcourt.
And that's scratching the surface of a set of possibilities that simply didn't exist for the Pistons a year ago. A fascinating season lies ahead.

he Treasury Department is scrapping plans to hire a cartoonist to lighten the mood of its employees who manage the nation's trillion-dollar debt, after a senator questioned its merits.
WASHINGTON — The Treasury Department is scrapping plans to hire a cartoonist to lighten the mood of its employees who manage the nation's $1.2 trillion debt, after a senator questioned its merits.
The cartoonist would have been hired by Treasury's Bureau of Public Debt, which accounts for borrowed federal spending, at a time Congress is embroiled in a debate about increased government spending.
"Our training staff felt that at a time when employees are working extra hours, it might have been helpful," said Kim Treat, a spokesman for the bureau.
But the effort was canceled because it had become "more of a distraction than an opportunity," he said.
In a federal solicitation issued earlier this month, the bureau said it was looking for a contractor to conduct two, three-hour presentations for its employees on the benefits of humor in the workplace and the connection between humor and stress relief.
The contractor would have to be able to "create cartoons on the spot" about jobs at the bureau, the solicitation stated.
Treat said the solicitation was intended to collect more information, including how much it would cost, and that no money had been allocated toward the effort. The bureau's annual budget is $187 million.
The office of Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., contacted the bureau after the solicitation was posted on The Drudge Report.
"Of all the agencies, the Bureau of Public Debt should know that there is very little that is funny about today's economic conditions," Dorgan said in a statement released Friday.

Cubs Managerial Candidates: Joe Girardi
For some reason Cubs fans like to think that their team is in the same class of high spenders as the Yankees and Red Sox, when really those two (and even more so the Yankees) are in a class by themselves. But because we think the Cubs can go dollar for dollar with New York names like Joe Girardi get tossed out in the Cubs managerial discussion. Girardi is the current Yankees manager and his contract is up a ...Read more ›

The Crazy Bride and her Athlete Friends
Some of the ladies at work were huddled around a computer screen this morning laughing, and I decided to wander over there and see just what the ruckus was. Believe it or not, they were watching the Crazy Bride video, and it was INSANE. It's a must watch for everyone. It will be perhaps the best 5:22 of your day. I love how they keep cutting to one of the brides-maids (or whatever she was), and she kept laughing! What kind of friend/bridesmaid is she? A GREAT ONE!
The Crazy Bride video made me think of all the nutjobs that are in sports. And, as an excuse to post this amazing YouTube find, this will segue into the craziest players in sports. Crazier than Kobe Bryant being suspended for tonight's game. I've divided the insanity into three categories: On the field Crazy, Altogether crazy, and 'Don't Fuck With These Guys' Crazy.
On The Field Crazy
-Kevin Garnett
Can you find a more intense looking person on the court? You have to give it to him, as he's always the most fired up person on the court. But take his fired up nature, and add it with his goattee, and you've got the look of an angry animal about to charge. But he's supposedly a good guy, so he stays in this category. (Side note: I was shocked to learn last night that he's only scored more than 40 points four times in his career. FOUR! How is that possible? Kobe drops 40 as often as he has to take a piss when he wakes up in the morning.)
-Joe Namath
His desire to kiss Suzy Kolber took place on the field, and it was the highlight of that ESPN broadcast. It also spawned an amazing sports blog, Kissing Suzy Kolber.
-Just about any European Basketball Player
Don't they always just look insane? Radmanovic, Vujacic, Nocioni, Vlade Divac, Slava, the list goes on. They look like they're out of control, and they play out of control. One minute you could be praising their insane play, and the next minute you could just as easily be cursing them.
Altogether Crazy
-Gilbert Arenas
What do you do with a guy who is unpredictable and has absolutely no filter when it comes to what he may say? Give him a blog! Here's a little blurb from the Hibachi:
I wouldn't pass the ball.
I wouldn't even think about passing it. It would be like a NBA Live or an NBA 2K7 game, you just shoot with one person.
His latest Duke rant must be acknowledged. Before the NBA.com editors could get their hands on it, this is probably what it looked like:
I'd spit on Wojo, Trangdan, Shane, Duhon, Hill, Laettner, Deng and all the Dookies, making Cherokee Parks my new butler. Then I'll light the hot onion choo choo train on my hibachi at midcourt
He's bound to say anything, shoot from anywhere, and just threw a million dollar birthday party. He's crazy.
-Ron Artest
He could be put in any of these categories. The Brawl, the rap album, the mohawk. Enough said.
Don't Fuck With These Guys
-Tank Johnson
A SWAT team invaded his house, and turned up two assault rifles, four other guns and ammunition. He was charged with 10 felony counts of illegal firearm possession. He's been allowed to play in the Super Bowl. Just what was he planning on doing with this?
-Ray Lewis
I think people have forgotten that this dude was accused of murder, and now he appears on the cover of video games?!
And the winner is:
Rae Carruth!
Rae murdered his girlfriend who was pregnant with his child. He was found hiding in the trunk of his friend's car. That, my friends, is Wild Card crazy!

10:00 am - 5:00 pm Landscape and Lace: Cache Valley
Arts & Entertainment / Caine College of the Arts
By Megan Mitchell. Fences, doors and windows indicate an intersection between inside and outside, public and private. These porous boundaries provide enclosure while also allowing access to an outside world. I am drawn to these divisions in space both as aesthetic and metaphorical objects. They are the point of departure for an exploration of the intersection between real and imagined worlds. 'Landscape and Lace: Cache Valley' juxtaposes the structural framework of a fence with a landscape inspired by Cache Valley. My intention is to provide a sense of both containment and spaciousness. The piece also contains a decorative element which is derived from a sample of lace. I use this pattern to further the dialog between inner and outer spaces.

10:00 am - 5:00 pm Good Neighbors
Arts & Entertainment / Caine College of the Arts
Good Neighbors by Todd Hayes features a seven-foot-tall wooden fence enclosing a seven-by-twelve foot plot. After a futile search for a gate, viewers peer through the small slit openings & spy a small porcelain house standing in a yard comprised of salt. The house is a mid-century ranch style house, exactly the kind that sprang up in suburban developments around the country after World War II. Though good fences may make good neighbors—as the saying goes—this fence completely cuts off any relationship to the outside world.

Facing a nearly $16 billion budget shortfall, the U.S. Postal Service said this week that it plans to cut expenses by ending Saturday delivery in August of at least some forms of mail. But enjoying growth in shipments by online retailers, the agency said it will continue delivering packages six days a week.
The Postal Service said it was still working out which forms of mail, including letters and larger mail pieces, would be included in the termination of Saturday deliveries. "There are a few areas that we have not yet defined as either mail or packages at this point," a postal service spokeswoman said yesterday. "We will have more specifics in a few weeks."
She added, however, that among items that the USPS will cease to deliver on Saturdays are catalogs and DVD mailers. Netflix Inc., which mails DVDs to customers and is No. 9 in the Internet Retailer Top 500, declined to comment.
The Postal Service expects the cutback in service, due to begin Aug. 5, to save about $2 billion annually in operating expenses, helping it to slice into a budget shortfall that reached $15.906 billion for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012. ($11.1 billion of the shortfall is in payouts of retirement benefits.)
The Postal Service reports that its mail volume has dropped steadily in recent years, declining 5% year over year to 159.9 billion pieces for the year ended Sept. 30, 2012. Online package deliveries, meanwhile, increased 7.5% over the same period, the agency says, declining to break out numbers for those delivered pieces.
Dave Hodess, CEO of GameFly Inc., which ships computer game discs in first-class mail flats, says he doesn't expect the loss of Saturday delivery to be a problem. "We recognize that the USPS has been under financial pressure and understand this move in that context," he says. "Cutting Saturday delivery should not impact our business," he adds. GameFly is No. 150 in the Internet Retailer Top 500.
Aiming to build on its strength in e-commerce deliveries, the Postal Service says it is working on new services designed to appeal to online shoppers and merchants. It's testing a service called "gopost" that lets consumers ship packages to USPS lockers in public places like transportation hubs and grocery stores that are open all day, every day.
The service, which charges standard shipping fees, is intended as an alternative to waiting at home for delivery or worrying about a delivered package left outside. Consumers register for an account at gopost.com, then receive an access card and personal identification number in the mail. After requesting delivery to a gopost location, the consumer receives a confirmation e-mail or text message when the package arrives. She then enters her access card and personal identification number into a computer screen at her chosen gopost locker location, which identifies the locker and automatically opens it.
The Postal Service is testing 13 gopost locations in the Washington area and two in New York, a spokeswoman says.
Meanwhile, the Direct Marketing Association, which represents retailers and others involved in direct-mail and online marketing, says the drop in Saturday mail delivery would mostly affect merchants advertising a weekend sale through direct mail, requiring them to adjust marketing schedules. "The efficacy of the weekend sale advertisement received on Thursday and Friday rather than Friday and Saturday may change significantly," says Jerry Cerasale, senior vice president of government affairs.
Cerasale adds that the DMA is also concerned about uncertainty in the legality of the USPS plan to cut Saturday mail delivery, as raised by members of Congress. "That uncertainty will create confusion for mailers as they plan for post-Aug. 5 mailings," he says.
The Postal Service contends that it is not bound by federal law to provide six-day mail delivery. "We believe we have authority under current law to make this change," a spokeswoman says.
But some members of Congress disagree.
U.S. Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY), a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government, which oversees the Postal Service, says the agency is "acting outside of its legal authority" as stipulated in legislation on appropriations, and that the subcommittee will work on a financial reform package that would allow the agency to maintain services such as Saturday delivery. Sen. Tom Carper (D—DE), chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, which also oversees the Postal Service, says he's "disappointed" in the plans for five-day mail delivery and plans to introduce early this year legislation on reforming the agency. He said he would like to keep Saturday deliveries as long as possible.

Around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, the victim, a woman in her 40s, was unloading her groceries in front of her residence in the 1000 block of E. Hawkeye Avenue.
A blue Honda stopped in the area and a woman about 20 years old got out and ran up behind the victim, Turlock Police Lt. Ron Reid said. The suspect pushed the woman to the ground and kicked her in the stomach.
The victim tried to fight the woman off, but the suspect wrenched the purse from the victim and ran to the car, which was about 100 yards away.
The victim was checked at a hospital for complaints of pain, but was not seriously injured in the attack, Reid said.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic woman about 5 feet, 2 inches tall and 110 pounds. She has long brown hair and wore it up in a ponytail.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call the police department at 668-5550.

Law professors Geoffrey R. Stone and William P. Marshall claim that their approach to constitutional interpretation—which, as I show in Part 2, beneath its rhetorical camouflage offers an unconstrained view of the role of the judiciary—is faithful to the Framers' vision of the Constitution. In particular, they argue that the Constitution sets forth "broad principles" that "are not self-defining" and that the Framers
understood that they were entrusting to future generations the responsibility to draw upon their intelligence, judgment, and experience to give concrete meaning to these broad principles over time. As Chief Justice John Marshall observed almost two centuries ago, "we must never forget it [sic] is a Constitution we are expounding … intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs."*
Accordingly, they argue, "a central challenge of constitutional interpretation is to define and then give life and substance to those principles in an ever-changing society."
Let's try to separate the sound propositions from the unsound ones:
1. Stone and Marshall are certainly correct that the text of the Constitution is "not self-defining." But that observation ought to lead them to address the question of how the meaning of the text is to be defined or determined. Public-meaning originalists answer that question by looking to the original public meaning of the text—that is, the public meaning of a constitutional provision at the time it was adopted. Stone and Marshall instead simply posit that various phrases "set forth broad principles" that evidently are so abstract that their applications are endlessly malleable.
2. Within broad bounds, the Constitution creates a system of representative government in which it is up to successive generations of Americans to decide how we want to govern ourselves. If that were what Stone and Marshall meant by stating that the Framers "understood that they were entrusting to future generations the responsibility to draw upon their intelligence, judgment, and experience to give concrete meaning to these broad principles over time," I would have no quarrel with them. But it's clear from their constitutional approach that the "future generations" that Stone and Marshall have in mind are not future generations of citizens, but future generations of judges.
3. I don't dispute that the Constitution sets forth some "broad principles" and that how its text applies to a particular controversy may be indeterminate. But that reality cuts against, not in favor of, the expansive judicial role that Stone and Marshall advocate. In a system of representative government, judges have legitimate authority to override a democratic enactment only when they have a firm basis for concluding that the democratic enactment is contrary to the meaning of a constitutional provision. So if the meaning of a constitutional provision is in relevant respects indeterminate, judges may not invalidate the democratic enactment. That is the essence of the principle of judicial restraint that Stone and Marshall pay lip service to.
4. Stone and Marshall misappropriate Chief Justice John Marshall to their cause. Properly understood, the famous passages they cite from Chief Justice Marshall's 1819 opinion in McCulloch v. Maryland cut against, rather than support, the rights-inventing role that the Supreme Court has so often played since the heyday of the Warren Court in the 1960s.
In order to understand what Chief Justice Marshall meant by his famous, but seldom examined, "we must never forget …" line, we must never forget the context of that passage.
Chief Justice Marshall was addressing whether Congress had power to establish the Bank of the United States. In the course of determining that Congress did have that power, Marshall stated:
A Constitution, to contain an accurate detail of all the subdivisions of which its great powers will admit, and of all the means by which they may be carried into execution, would partake of the prolixity of a legal code, and could scarcely be embraced by the human mind. It would probably never be understood by the public. Its nature, therefore, requires that only its great outlines should be marked, its important objects designated, and the minor ingredients which compose those objects be deduced from the nature of the objects themselves. That this idea was entertained by the framers of the American Constitution is not only to be inferred from the nature of the instrument, but from the language.… It is also in some degree warranted by their having omitted to use any restrictive term which might prevent its receiving a fair and just interpretation. In considering this question, then, we must never forget that it is a Constitution we are expounding.
In the very next paragraph, after noting the "great powers" set forth "among the enumerated powers of Government," Chief Justice Marshall observes:
[I]t may with great reason be contended that a Government intrusted with such ample powers, on the due execution of which the happiness and prosperity of the Nation so vitally depends, must also be intrusted with ample means for their execution. The power being given, it is the interest of the Nation to facilitate its execution. It can never be their interest, and cannot be presumed to have been their intention, to clog and embarrass its execution by withholding the most appropriate means.… Can we adopt that construction (unless the words imperiously require it) which would impute to the framers of that instrument, when granting these powers for the public good, the intention of impeding their exercise, by withholding a choice of means?
What these passages make clear is that Chief Justice Marshall believed that the powers of the national government that were set forth in the Constitution deserved "a fair and just interpretation" that would "facilitate" their "execution." That is what he meant when he stated that in "considering this question"—a question of Congress's power—"we must never forget that it is a Constitution we are expounding." (Note also that Chief Justice Marshall's invocation of what would "be understood by the public" comports with the tenets of public-meaning originalism.)
In other words, Chief Justice Marshall was not saying, as professors Stone and Marshall and other advocates of the "living Constitution" mistakenly claim, that the nature of a Constitution requires that its rights-conferring provisions be construed expansively. Indeed, such an expansive construction would constrain the government's exercise of its powers and thus runs counter to the thrust of Chief Justice Marshall's "we must never forget" line. (To be clear: I believe that rights-conferring provisions should also receive "a fair and just interpretation." But whereas McCulloch supports the proposition that "a fair and just interpretation" of Congress's powers is one that is expansive enough to be facilitating, nothing in it supports the different, and countervailing, proposition that "a fair and just interpretation" of rights should also be expansive.)
Chief Justice Marshall's statement in McCulloch that the Constitution was "intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs" also means something very different from what Stone and Marshall contend. In context, it's clear that Chief Justice Marshall is stating that it is the Constitution's conferral of broad powers on Congress that enables Congress to adapt those powers to the various crises of human affairs. In other words, this passage provides no support for Stone's and Marshall's vision of the Court as a perpetual constitutional convention, sometimes construing Congress's powers narrowly, at other times broadly, sometimes inventing new rights, sometimes restricting old ones, all depending on its own view of how constitutional principles should "evolve as society changes."
* * *
In sum, the constitutional approach that Stone and Marshall advocate—the approach that its proponents in the past, more openly scornful of the Framers, used to call the "living Constitution"—is not remotely faithful to the Framers' Constitution.
* The point isn't material to the broader dispute, but for the sake of precision I'll note that Stone and Marshall omit the "that" that precedes "it" in Chief Justice Marshall's famous statement in McCulloch v. Maryland. I'll also note that they put in this single quote, separated only by an ellipsis, two passages that are separated by more than two thousand words.

Soooo...nobody's watching eh? :rofl
I'm Here!! Munching popcorn (lotsa butter) and gulping diet coke.
God this is stoopid. Why am I watching?
Oh yeah. To make fun of it.
Tired of Tommy already. "Both of them wanted me."
Has anyone here ever gone to these places?
Tommy what an ego, what an idiot.
Jeff you are not the best, or you are good and everyone wants the weaker players on their team so they will not be eliminated.
Princess, what social skills, you showed so much interviewing Fabulous, and we all know he likes vanilla fingers, oh, yeah, you missed the mark and your team lost and you almost got kicked off. Same as Tommy, what an ego, what an idiot.
I'd be googling my butt off to get images of these clubs. Heck for Studio 54 all you need is a bag of coke and some naked women.
How easy to sit back and say "I don't like it" without offering any alternative suggestions. Can't stand her, at least the horseshoe girl was offering suggestions from her prior research.
That's a great way to get along with your teammates by calling their ideas stupid, Deanna, Shaunna just jumped all over Liz. Hey, no one likes to be disrepected and Liz did the research and she reported what she found. I am sure Shaunna and Deanna will act like the class acts they are when someone else remarks that their ideas are also stupid
