Reader and Schalk to skip opening stop on beach volleyball World Tour circuit
OTTAWA – Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., will likely miss the opening event on the FIVB World Tour beach volleyball circuit scheduled for Brasilia, Brazil April 20-25.
Schalk is currently nursing a shoulder injury suffered in training this past winter and the new pair decided it wasn't worth the risk to compete in Brazil. Instead they have their sights set on the second stop set for May 3-9 in Shanghai.
"Chaim was given thumbs up by our team doctors to train full time on Monday but Brazil is just a little too soon," said Reader. "There are too many things that could still happen with his shoulder; it's a very sensitive injury. But we have our tickets for China and that's what we're focused on.
"It gives us a month to regroup and make sure we have the chemistry back. We were looking fantastic before the injury."
Reader, who moved to Toronto in January and also trained three weeks this winter in Brazil, has enjoyed a great start to 2010. With Ray Sewell of Calgary he won the season opening event on the NORCECA (North and Central America) circuit last month in the Cayman Islands and followed the following week with a fourth place in El Salvador.
On the World Tour, Reader and Schalk's main goal is to show consistency and improvement throughout the season. Reader has played four years on the circuit, while Schalk will be making his debut this season.
"It's difficult to set specific results," said Reader, who keeps his fans updated on his competitions and life experiences at www.martinreader.blogspot.com. "It's a feeler year for us but we would like first of all to qualify for the main draw at all the tournaments."
Jesse Lelliott of Kelowna, B.C., and Ben Saxton of Calgary are scheduled to compete in Brasilia on the men's side.
In women's competition, Canada has four pairs for the opener: Annie Martin of Sherbrooke, Que., and Marie-Andrée Lessard of Ville LaSalle, Que.; Julie Rodrigue of Quebec City and Kara Zakrewski of Mississauga, Ont.,; Rebecca Moskowitz of Toronto and Eve Marie Dansereau-Laberge of Verdun, Que.,; and Kristina Valjas and Anastasia Danilova of Toronto.

Mutual funds' performance woes and investor withdrawals are well documented. Also well known are the unfavorable comparisons one can make versus less costly exchange-traded funds.
Less well known: A subset of mutual funds is turning to the options market to offer something that investors can't easily replicate on their own.
There are nearly 200 mutual funds active in the options market, and all else equal, many options users have been able to beat peers, according to research released last week by Goldman Sachs (GS). "Heavy" options users beat competitors by an average of eight percent, with a standard deviation that was five percent lower, according to the team of seven strategists including John Marshall, Marc Irizarry and Krag Gregory.
Holding a combined $460 billion in assets, the average fund in this group increased assets under management from less than $7 billion in 2010 to $11 billion today. Most of them are selling options, with a heavy bias toward income generation. About two thirds use call-option selling strategies, in which money is made by selling bullish options, often against stocks held by the manager ("overwriting" or "covered calls"). Of those, the great majority (nearly 90%) are selling options on single stocks. A quarter of all the funds in the study sell put options.

New Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan, who took over for Terry Ashe at the end of last year, gave his first speech to the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce luncheon Wednesday.
"I can guarantee you my speech won't be as long as his [Ashe]," joked Bryan to start his speech.
Bryan said the transition to new leadership has been good for the department. Ashe had held the post for 30 years. He talked about how when Metro has a push to stop crime on the east side of Davidson County, it pushes some crime into Wilson County.
"So we get aggressive and push right back," said Bryan.
He spoke of the recent car burglaries in neighborhoods along Saundersville Road. All 28 cars that were broken into had their doors unlocked and many had items like iPads, phones and other expensive items inside.
Bryan also talked about how there is now a School Resource Officer in every school, and how important it is for the safety of our children. He said they worked together with the County Commission and the School Board to get the measure passed.
"We made it happen because it needed to be done," said Bryan.
The biggest challenge facing law enforcement in the county is the growth, which brings more crime along with it.
"Your Sheriff's Office is prepared for that growth," said Bryan.

As soon as I showed my friends what shoes I was ordering (well before they'd ever arrived in the mail), I was already getting compliments on how cute they were.The top of the shoes dig in a little bit on the top of my feet, but that's mostly the shoes need to be broken in. It can easily be remedied by using a bandaid or a clear piece of tape on your foot where the shoe digs in.Love, Love, Love"

Greek rhomos, Latin vermis "worm," Old Russian vermie "insects," Lithuanian varmas "insect, gnat"), possibly from root *wer- (3) "turn" (see versus).
The ancient category of these was much more extensive than the modern, scientific, one and included serpents, scorpions, maggots, and the supposed causes of certain diseases. For substitution of -o- for -u-, see come. As an insult meaning "abject, miserable person" it dates from Old English.

worm (wûrm)
Any of various invertebrates, as those of the phyla Annelida, Nematoda, Nemertea, or Platyhelminthes, having a long, flexible, rounded or flattened body, often without obvious appendages.
Any of various crawling insect larvae, such as a grub or a caterpillar, having a soft, elongated body.
Any of various unrelated animals, such as the shipworm or the slowworm, resembling a worm in habit or appearance.
worms Infestation of the intestines or other parts of the body with worms or wormlike parasites; helminthiasis.
Our Living Language : Earthworms are one of many types of worms, including those of the flat and round species. Over a century ago, Charles Darwin spent 39 years studying earthworms and wrote The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms with Observations on Their Habits, an entire book that described his research on earthworm behavior and intelligence and further explained how important earthworms are to agriculture. "Long before [the plow] existed," he wrote, "the land was, in fact, regularly plowed and still continues to be thus plowed by earthworms. It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world." Darwin was referring to the way that earthworms naturally mix and till soil, while both improving its structure and increasing its nutrients. As they tunnel in the soil, earthworms open channels that allow in air and water, improving drainage and easing the way for plants to send down roots; they also carry nutrients from deep soils to the surface. Earthworms eat plant material in the soil, decaying leaves, and leaf litter, and their own waste provides nourishment for plants and other organisms. Slime, a secretion of earthworms, contains nitrogen, an important plant nutrient. It is estimated that each year earthworms in one acre of land move 18 or more tons of soil.

(1.) Heb. sas (Isa. 51:8), denotes the caterpillar of the clothes-moth. (2.) The manna bred worms (tola'im), but on the Sabbath there was not any worm (rimmah) therein (Ex. 16:20, 24). Here these words refer to caterpillars or larvae, which feed on corrupting matter. These two Hebrew words appear to be interchangeable (Job 25:6; Isa. 14:11). Tola'im in some places denotes the caterpillar (Deut. 28:39; Jonah 4:7), and rimmah, the larvae, as bred from putridity (Job 17:14; 21:26; 24:20). In Micah 7:17, where it is said, "They shall move out of their holes like worms," perhaps serpents or "creeping things," or as in the Revised Version, "crawling things," are meant. The word is used figuratively in Job 25:6; Ps. 22:6; Isa. 41:14; Mark 9:44, 46, 48; Isa. 66:24.

Davison recently finished shooting seasons two and three of "Men of a Certain Age" with the latter set to air this summer. So how different is this show's approach? "We shoot all handheld on 16mm with ARRI 416s, and use two or three cameras simultaneously so we can do the whole scene in one take as often as possible, and get both sides of every conversation," explains Davison. "And we design the lighting so that scenes can flow uninterrupted, and we usually do a wide pass, then a tighter pass. That means placing our lights in hidden places quite often."
About 40 percent of the show is shot on the Paramount lot where the show's standing sets include a diner, Braugher's house and Romano's townhouse. "The diner set is all pre-lit with lights from Paramount, but some of the other sets needed tweaking," notes Davison. "We'd have to see where the action takes place and then set the lights up as needed." The other 60 percent of the show is shot on location. "[Location sets] can be trickier in terms of lighting, but we had a great electric and grip crew and very knowledgeable best boy electric and grip, as well as the rigging gaffer," Davison explains. "They'd scout with Victor Hsu, the production manager, and the director for the upcoming episode, and if they had to rig or pre-light, it'd be pretty much set by the time we got there. Not always though. At a restaurant, for example, they'd rig some Kino Flos or other lights in strategic spots, and then we'd add some lighting through the windows." Depending on the location, the DP used a lot of Maxi-Brutes, either bouncing off material or through windows. "We'd also use a lot of them on stage," he adds. The show also uses a lot of customized lights designed and built by Gaffer Elan Yaari. "He used ETC [Electronic Theatre Controls] 1K PARs and put them in configurations so they can be individually focused," Davison says. "One, called the Spider Light, has a four-light configuration, and the Diamond Light has 14 lights, so if you're outside and it's up in a Condor, he could rake a house and do the opposite side of the street simultaneously. So they're very flexible and easy to use, and great for night shoots." The DP adds that Key Grip Rocky Ford modeled the lights, "and did a great job."
For one night party scene, the location was a home in the San Fernando Valley that had built-in ceiling sconces, which created pools of light and set a great contrast range. Outside the house they employed a balloon light from Skylight Balloon Lighting and hung it from a crane arm to light the yard and roof where one character climbs up for an important part of the scene. Later, they repositioned the balloon light a few blocks up the street for another piece of action and supplemented the scene with bounce light from the Diamond Light. That night the gaffer was Ken Cooper (who was filling in one night for Yaari), and he, along with Balloon Light Tech John Sevedra, made the blocks-long move very quickly. "That worked great," notes Davison. The show's crew also used a lot of Kino Flos — 4-banks and 2-banks — especially for interiors, both day and night. "We also used Mini-Flos for car scenes at night and to create a computer screen light," adds the DP. All of Davison's techniques have given "Men of a Certain Age" its own unique look. "We use a lot of different lights — 4K PARs, even 12Ks — through windows, and that helps give our show a distinctive look," Davison says. "David Boyd was very instrumental in giving 'Friday Night Lights' its look, and this has the same very real, almost documentary-style approach to lighting and shooting.

NJ LEE Group Open Letter - June 20, 2013
Leaders of the six organizations in the New Jersey Leadership for Educational Excellence (LEE) group have sent an open letter to Governor Chris Christie, Education Commissioner Chris Cerf, and the entire Legislature urging New Jersey to apply for a one-year federal waiver on the use of standardized tests to evaluate teachers.
The waiver was offered earlier this week by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan, in response to a national outcry over the rushed implementation of the new Common Core State Standards for all students in math and language arts. NJEA has already urged the state to seek the waiver.
Both NJEA and the LEE group insist teachers and administrators need more time to become fully familiar with the new standards before the state's new evaluation process is implemented.
"The Christie administration has publicly stated that it agrees with the Obama administration on education policy," said NJEA President Barbara Keshishian. "This is an opportunity to slow down a headlong rush to over-rely on student test scores to evaluate teachers in New Jersey. All respected research cautions against that, and NJEA has been urging caution on this matter for two years," she said.
The open letter – signed by leaders of the NJ Principals and Supervisors Association, the NJ Association of School Administrators, the New Jersey Education Association, the NJ School Boards Association, the NJ Association of School Business Officials, and the NJ Parent-Teacher Association – makes a strong case for giving schools adequate time to prepare for the new standards:
"It simply makes more sense to use this year to build capacity and ensure that the new system will work in practice to improve teaching and learning," the letter says. "As Arne Duncan points out, 'The point of raising standards is to prepare students for tomorrow's challenges rather than yesterday's. Their readiness has real consequences for their lives and the nation's economic health. Yet this effort will only succeed if all parties have the time, resources, and support needed to make the journey from inadequate standards of the past to ambitious standards of tomorrow.'"
The LEE letter adds that "we echo the concerns of our national educational colleagues as we ask for a rational timeline and necessary resources to make that possible. We respectfully request that New Jersey file for additional flexibility to ensure the long term gains of our school reform efforts."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
We recently celebrated Veteran's Day in the county. The annual program at the San Rafael Junior High was a great success as it is each year. I think the awareness of the students is heightened by this annual program which honors the Veterans.
I don't think we can ever honor our Veterans enough, for the sacrifices they have made are beyond compare.
Whether you support the current war in Iraq or not, those serving there now and those who have served in previous wars deserve our honor and respect.
To die preserving the freedom of our country is the ultimate sacrifice. A sacrifice not many are willing to make, especially now in these times of selfishness and greed.
Those willing to serve have my total love and admiration.
In listening to a presentation the other night by Sgt. Steve Thornton, I learned a lot about the operation going on in Iraq and the things America is trying to accomplish.
There are those who say we should pull out and leave this country to its own devices. But, that might not be the answer. Being willing to help another country to live in peace is never going to be easy. It is a big sacrifice for America to be involved and stay involved in Iraq.
We don't have peace within our own borders. Every time you turn on the news you hear about another murder in Utah. Where do the answers lie for the times we live in?
One thing I do know is that I don't think they should take the words, "under God," out of the Pledge of Allegiance." If anything, we should look more towards God and adherence to his teachings. Regardless of what religion you are, if people obeyed the 10 commandments the world would be so much better off. Ten rules that could change the world. Do not steal, Do not take anothers life, etc. What would happen to all the prisons if there were no rule breakers.
My husband tells me all the time I look at things through rose colored glasses, but that's OK. Ideals and dreams are what keep people going. The ability to look beyond present circumstances and see the light at the end of the tunnel is a blessing.
Maybe we will see the light and there will be an end to fighting in the world. Imagine a world with no wars, no strife and contention. I probably won't be around to see it, but you can always hope.
I am thankful that men and women are willing to leave home and go to these far off places to attempt to help them attain some of the freedoms we enjoy and take for granted.
It's not an easy goal or maybe even one that can be achieved, but America's willingness to help is part of what makes this country great.
Earlier this year, I was privileged to attend the funeral of a young man who lost his life in Afghanistan in a helicopter crash. Tico Pentico was a very unique individual. The love he shared with his friends and family flowed over at his services. He died serving his country, a life cut too short, but a life lived to the fullest. How many of us live each day like it might be our last. Do we appreciate the sacrifices of those who have come before and prepare a way for those who will follow?
At this time of year, I am especially thankful for my family and the country we live in. Grateful to be able to agree or disagree with leaders and not be in trouble because of it. I am grateful that we can all express our opinions openly and freely and live in a country that allows us this freedom. Some are not so lucky.

Celebrity Destination Weddings
From George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's Italian fairytale wedding to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's French chateau "I do's," here are the most coveted celebrity-wedding destinations.
George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, Venice, Italy
George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin, Venice, ItalyThe world's most eligible bachelor finally tied the knot. George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin at Hotel Aman, a historic hotel on Venice's iconic Canal Grande. This 16th-century palazzo, which was built on water, housed Venice's elite for centuries before it opened as a luxury hotel in 2013 (prices start at about $1,000 a night for a standard room). It's a mix of old and new — frescoes hang in some of the 24 guest rooms, but there's also a spa and fitness center. The most romantic part of staying here? Guests arrive via boat or gondola. 960 1280
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Provence, France
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Provence, FranceHollywood's hottest power couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, finally made their almost-decade union official, as they exchanged vows in a small chapel at the Chateau Miraval. But this isn't just any 17th-century estate in Provence, France -- Hollywood's royal couple owns the enchanting domain that sits on 1,000 sprawling acres in the ancient village of Correns and is reported to have 35 rooms, a vineyard and a moat (perfect for keeping the paparazzi out). 960 1280
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Florence, Italy
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Florence, ItalyThe world went abuzz when this power couple tied the knot in a stunning Italian villa in Florence. The 16th-century fortress, Forte di Belvedere, which costs more than $400,000 to rent for a day, was originally commissioned by the powerful Medici family in 1590. With sweeping panoramic views from its walls, this star-shaped fortress was the perfect spot for the wedding of a star couple like Kim and Kanye. 960 1280
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, South of France
Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger, South of FranceThe Canadian singer and Nickelback frontman exchanged vows in a romantic outdoor ceremony overlooking the Mediterranean coast at the medieval Chateau de La Napoule in Mandelieu. The rock 'n' roll dinner reception featuring locally caught lobster and sea bass raged on until sunrise. 960 1280
Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish, Philipsburg, MT
Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish, Philipsburg, MTHollywood couple Kate Bosworth and director Michael Polish celebrated their big day on 6,600 scenic acres in Big Sky country. Bosworth's 4-day wedding celebration included a modern hoedown, horseback riding and a farm-to-table reception at The Ranch at Rock Creek near Philipsburg, MT. The bride arrived in a horsedrawn carriage before walking down a wildflower-adorned aisle at her mountaintop nuptials -- talk about a fairytale. 960 1280
Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto, Palm Beach, FL

A Profession, If You Can Keep It: How Information Technology and Fading Borders are Reshaping the Law Marketplace and What We Should Do About It
Stephen Gillers
New York University School of Law
March 19, 2012
Hastings Law Journal, Vol. 63, 2012
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 12-18
Technology is changing the way we do business. It has made cross-border trade in goods and services easy. Capital is finding ways to profit from the law business. Lawyers strive to serve clients wherever they need help, including outside their jurisdiction of admission. These changes not only affect how American law firms work, they challenge our system for licensing and regulating lawyers. The traditional geocentric model for regulating the bar, based on physical place of practice, is unstable today because lawyers can practice physically in many places and (virtually) in every place, yet no place in particular.
The next twenty years are likely to see greater transformation in how the American (and world) legal professions are organized and ply their services than was true for any comparable period in history. We have two choices. We can try to impede these forces in order to preserve a familiar and comfortable world that seems to be slipping away. Or we can decide that today's rules should adapt to accommodate and direct the forces at bay in order to preserve the values of the American bar, which include the efficient delivery of services at reasonable cost. This Article endorses the second goal and describes how we might seek to achieve it.

Indoor Grilling: Korean-Style Steaks with Spicy Cilantro Sauce Recipe
Fire up your grill and get ready for some serious smoke.
It was four years ago that my now fiancée and I swore off eating out on Valentine's day. The advanced reservations, overpriced pre-fixes, and crowds were more conducive to stress than romance. So Valentine's has become a time for a special home-cooked meal, and when I asked my lady what she might like on the menu this year, like any good Texan, she promptly replied, "Steak!" I don't want to be flying blind when the big day comes, so I've been trying out various steak recipes in preparation, including this Korean-style one.
Mixing the fiancée's request with a relatively quick meal--allowing me to spend more time with her than in the kitchen--this seemed like an appropriate choice. The steaks go into a soy sauce and sherry based marinade for an hour, which gives me ample time to make the spicy cilantro sauce topper. After a short time on the grill over high heat, the steaks are sliced, placed over rice, and topped with the sauce. The cilantro lends a nice freshness to the dish, although the combination of a marinade and spicy sauce overpowers the beefiness of the steaks, at least for this meat aficionado. All-in-all, it's a decent meal. It may not be the final choice for V-day dinner, but it's definitely in the running.
Grilled Korean-Style Steaks with Spicy Cilantro Sauce
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup medium-dry sherry
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
- 6 (1-inch-thick) boneless beef top loin (strip) steaks, about 3/4 pound each
- 3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (including roots and stems)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon minced seeded fresh habanero or serrano chile (optional)
- 1 (4-inch-long) fresh hot red chile, chopped (optional)
Stir together 3/4 cup soy sauce, sherry, sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish until sugar is dissolved, then add steaks, turning to coat. Marinate steaks, turning once, for 1 hour.
While the steaks marinate, mix together cilantro, vegetable oil, lime juice, remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, remaining 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil, and chile if using. Set aside.
Heat grill to high heat, and when ready, grill steaks 3 to 4 minutes per each side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Slice crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick slices and then top with some sauce. Serve remaining sauce on the side.

Pucker up Brooklyn, sorrel's in season! The lemony green leaves of this common perennial garden herb can now be found at Greenmarkets, fresh from the ground. I found some super-fresh sorrel at Ray Bradley Farm's stand at Grand Army Plaza this past Saturday, tucked between crates of turnip greens and wintered-over spinach. But don't mistake this leafy green for your average lettuce – with a beautifully intense, lemony tang, sorrel reminds me more of a thrill-seeking kid's sour candy than a wedge salad.
That distinctive tang is why it tends to be used as an ingredient to lend acidity to dishes more often than being served alone. In Africa, it's cooked into soups and stews with other vegetables or pureed into refreshing drinks. In Eastern Europe, a sour green soup made with sorrel called Shchavelya Sup is often served with a garnish of sour cream or boiled eggs to balance the tang. Sorrel cooked with water, ginger and other spices is the traditional Christmas drink in Jamaica. And sorrel is often combined with other leafy greens as a tart addition to salads or to the Greek spinach pastry spanakopita.
I asked farmer Ray how hard it was to grow sorrel, half-expecting his sarcastic answer: "Oh, it's very…" He laughed and explained that it's a perennial; it just keeps coming back. The particular leaves in the bin on Saturday had over-wintered, meaning they're planted before the winter for harvesting in early spring. Ray explained that these particular sorrel were sowed last summer, so by the time snow covered them for a few months' hibernation, the plant had grown full, oblong leaves perfect for using in all kinds of ways now that spring is here. Over-wintered sorrel is preferable to some. It's got a more tempered lemony tang and is notably sweeter than its younger summer-harvest variety (just like the over-wintered spinach in the next bin).
Ray knows his sorrel. He worked as a chef in various kitchens (including a stint for Daniel Bouley) before leaving the city to start his own farm in New Paltz, NY in 2000. He began dabbling in growing his own organic vegetables in the 1990′s on rented land, and was one of the first local farmers to sell at Grand Army Plaza's Greenmarket. Now, he raises pigs in addition to a wide variety heirloom vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers on his 27-acre farm, and he still makes the commute to the Brooklyn Greenmarket each Saturday. With his culinary background, Bradley grows what he wants to cook – and he knows how to cook it.
How does Ray suggest cooking sorrel? "With fish," he offered. Roast or grill a whole fish, then sautee the sorrel quickly and spread it on top. You can skip the lemon that way, and benefit from sorrel's leafy-green nutrients like Vitamin A, as well.
It seems that there is no end to what you can do with the herb. Will Prunty, Executive Chef at Prime Meats in Carroll Gardens, offered another preparation that took me by surprise. "Make a sorrel butter. I just made one the other day." For the butter, Will blanches the leaves and quickly shocks them in ice water, to preserve their color. Then he squeezes out the leaves to remove any excess water, finely chops the sorrel, and folds them into softened butter, just as you would with any other herb. You can use the sorrel butter in lots of different ways. One of Will's favorites is serving it with fish.
Of course, sorrel also makes a great salad green, when combined with other, more benign-tasting ones. Even better to toss in something a little rich, like a buttery cheese or bacon, to balance its zing.
Sorrel is in season now, so be sure to look for it at your local Greenmarket this weekend.
Here are a few more sorrel recipes you might like:
- Spicy Squash Hash with Sorrel (this one's mine – from Not Eating Out in New York)
- Salmon in Sorrel Sauce (from Food 52)
- Chicken with Sorrel (from The NY Times' Diners Journal)
Columnist Cathy Erway will be hitting Brooklyn Greenmarkets each week, picking out a particularly ravishing-looking seasonal ingredient, talking to the farmer who grew it, and speaking with a local chef about their favorite simple ways to prepare it.
We think Cathy is probably pretty darn qualified for this mission. She is the author of The Art of Eating In: How I Learned to Stop Spending and Love the Stove, based on her two-year mission to forego restaurant food in the city and her blog, Not Eating Out in New York. Last spring, she launched a rooftop garden at Red Hook's Sixpoint Brewery complete with egg-laying chickens and repurposed kegs as planters, which is the basis of her second blog, Lunch at Sixpoint. She hosts a weekly podcast on Heritage Radio Network, Let's Eat In, which has featured guests ranging from Reverend Billy to Mark Bittman. She co-founded the documentary food film screening series, Hungry Filmmakers. She has written for Saveur, The Huffington Post, Edible Brooklyn and Brooklyn Based, and has taught cooking classes at the Greenmarkets, the Brooklyn Kitchen and WholeFoods.

Michaela Binder, Durham University
In wintery, snow-covered Durham preparations for the coming season of work in the cemetery are underway, with only six weeks left until the new season starts. During January and February, we will return to Cemetery C, the post-New Kingdom necropolis first excavated in 2009.
The international team of three archaeologists – including myself and two new team members from the UK and Canada – all specialise in the excavation of graves and human remains.
This is crucial because we are likely to encounter complicated multiple burial situations, and only archaeologists with experience and understanding of human skeletons are able to recover all of the evidence. For example, the way in which individual bones lie when discovered can indicate whether the bodies were disturbed shortly after burial or later, after the soft tissue had disappeared.
During the six weeks in the field we will extend the area investigated in the previous season further to the east and to the north. A magnetometric survey is used as a guide towards promising areas, allowing us to pinpoint exactly the location of graves and tomb shafts.
Cemetery C is particularly important as it dates to a period in history about which relatively little is known, after the pharaonic occupation of the area ceased.
The finds and human remains will help us to find out more about how people lived, and what religious and cultural beliefs they were following.
We already know from the previous season in 2009 that the graves yield a large range of well preserved wooden furniture, pottery and other grave goods such as jewellery and scarabs.
An exciting new season starts in less than 40 days…

Mini Flavored Cigars Attracting Younger Smokers
Cheap cigarillos easily accessible to underaged smokers
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - There's a new trend that is attracting young smokers. They're called cigarillos and are becoming more popular than cigarettes.
Cigarette sales are down by a third over the last decade but a cheaper alternative, like mini cigars have doubled in popularity in the same amount of time.
Mini cigars come in a variety of flavors from blueberry to peach, eye-catching packaging and are cheap. The combination make them attractive to a young consumer.
"They're easier to get. They're only a dollar and they're pretty cheap," said Miguel Cruz, a Santa Barbara high school student.
"They're a dollar at the corner store," said another student.
Flavored cigarettes were banned in 2009 and health experts though that would be a reduction in youth smoking. But flavored cigars are legal and the sweet smoke is masking the risks.
"They taste better because of the flavor," said Saul Ibarra, another high school student heading to lunch.
Eric Balderas think the reason young people are smoking the cigarillos is the same reason they'd start smoking cigarettes.
"I think it's just for popularity, like people who think they're cool," he said.
Matthew Lanford is the owner of Santa Barbara Cigar and Tobacco and said every now and then he'll get a young smoker asking for the mini flavored cigars.
"It doesn't surprise me that people are shifting from cigarettes that have been so heavily taxed, to an inexpensive machine made cigar," he said.
Lanford doesn't sell the mini cigars at his shop but many convenience stores do. A pack of three goes for 99 cents and a single cigar can cost just 49 cents.
That price point is a lot cheaper than the premium cigars sold at Lanford's store that range from $8 to $15 a piece.
He thinks he knows that the cigarillo manufacturers are doing.
"If they're hoping to lure kids that are under 18 to go an try to make that illegal purchase, shame on them and shame on the person for selling them," he said.
Federal research shows about one in six 18-to-24-year-olds smoke cigars but that doesn't take into account even younger smokers.

Reducing Trade Costs in Asia-Pacific Developing Countries (Studies in Trade and Investment No. 84). International trade has been a major engine for economic growth and development in Asia and the Pacific. However, overall trade costs remain excessively high in many developing countries of the region. Part I of this publication provides an overview of trade costs in Asia and the Pacific, based on the most recent update of the ESCAP-World Bank Trade Cost Database. Policies and factors affecting international trade costs are identified.
How much of international trade costs can be mitigated through implementation of trade facilitation measures and policies? What measures and policies affect trade costs the most? This paper updates findings from Duval and Utoktham (2011), based on ESCAP-World Bank Trade Costs Database. Among the top trade facilitating regions are East and North-East Asia, followed by South-East Asia. The dominance of those regions are fully consistent with the trade-led growth strategies of these economies and their emphasis on reducing international trade costs.
This working paper explores the potential brought about by information and communications technology (ICT) in improving the sustainability of road transport through the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The paper has been prepared by the ICT and Development Section of ESCAP, and is addressed to ICT policymakers of developing countries in Asia and the Pacific.
Resilient Business for Resilient Nations and Communities shows how the private sector can act as a key partner for reducing disaster risk that can affect a country's overall resilience to disasters. This report is among the first to document the evolving thoughts and practices of the private sector in disaster risk management. It offers Asia-Pacific perspectives on the respective roles and responsibilities of the private and public sectors in promoting resilience, highlighting good practices, case studies and lessons learned.
As Members and associate members prepare to set their own national targets for the CRVS Decade, ESCAP and partners have developed a set of guidelines to assist countries in this process.
Least Developed Countries and Trade: Challenges of Implementing the Bali Package (Studies in Trade and Investment No. 83)
The Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report (APTIR) is a recurrent publication prepared by the Trade and Investment Division of the United Nations, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific.

This project working paper discusses the prevailing system of income security for older persons in Sri Lanka with regard to coverage, beneficiaries and sustainability. The paper finds that the current system is inadequate to provide income security for older persons, as the sustainability of several pension funds is at stake and coverage is relatively low. The paper further calculates the cost of providing universal income security in Sri Lanka.
The Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2015 – Disasters without Borders, is a flagship publication of UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). It provides an overview of the state of disaster resilience in Asia-Pacific region, and places disaster risk reduction at the heart of sustainable development. It identifies emerging new risks in the region and the sectors that are most at risk.

Gucci Love
"When I saw this bag, I HAD TO HAVE IT. The colors were superb, the size is right-- and some people say that it runs narrow, but I think it is just right. If it got any wider, it would fall off your shoulder. I can't stand it when a bag I like does that. I am a bit petite and it fits like a glove-- not one of those bags that is oversized for my frame. I like the fact that it holds just enough for everyday carry. No room for ipads here, but if you want a bag that can carry that you need a bigger one than this one. The shoulder strap is great-- wide enough that it doesn't dig into your shoulder when you carry it with plenty of things and it is soft for the type of leather it is. This is a low key handbag, if you want one that screams a brand, consider one that is a lighter color-- you can see the 'g' in the light but it is rather nice that it is low key (since I don't want to be a target to thieves for having something nice and well made). I bought this bag cause I heard that the quality is amazing and well it is. I own several high end brand bags and this one takes the cake."

"Great price for a luxury handbag! The quality is perfect as usual and the size is actually decent compared to what is shown on-line. I was able to fit my wallet, makeup bag, phone, and a few other things in there with ease. Great deal!"

Wonderful Bag
"When I received my bag I thought it was going to be small. But to my surprise, it was actually a nice size bag. About medium in size. For the brand I know I got a steal. I so very happy with this bag!"

Gorgeous wedding shoes!
"I bought these shoes for my upcoming wedding in May, and I am counting down the days until I can wear them! The lace detail is beautiful, and the peep toe adds a bit of sexiness to the shoe. The platform makes the height a bit more manageable. I will definitely be breaking them in a bit before the big day as they are a little tight, but overall super happy with them"

I have an interesting idea/theory. While its not the most fleshed out, I think its at the least plausible.
Nawaki was the grandson of the first Hokage, a direct line to the Senju bloodline. According the manga, he was killed when an explosive trap set off and his corpse was so mangled that he was unrecognizable, Orochimaru at the time was with him...
As far as I know, wanted to use the First Hokage's cells to create a decent clone of him(Yamato), he also empowered Danzo with the first Hokage's cells to enable him to use wood element jutsu and sharigan for extra power... But did he really use Hashirama's cells?
The basic idea is that, because Hashirama corpse would have been to far decayed to extract anything useful, Orochimaru would have had to use a direct decendent, Nawaki, someone who had the potential to achieve what Hashirama was. Orochimaru was supposedly Nawaki's sensei, at least according to the wiki as he was there during his death. His corpse was so mangled from his death that it was unrecognizable. Is it not past Orochimaru to hand over a corpse that wasnt who he said it was?
While the idea need to be more fleshed out and fitted into or out of the realm of plausible/crazy, I think it at least has legs, I want to see what everyone else thinks.
Destroy it, salvage it, comment and expand on it.

Crescent Moon: Islamic Art & Civilisation in Southeast Asia
24 February – 28 May 2006
The exhibition reveals the sophistication and splendour of the Islamic courts in the archipelago. Royal heirlooms recall a glorious past when wealthy courts, enriched by the spice trade, competed to demonstrate divine blessings through earthly power and material luxury. Lavish ceremonies of the life cycle, such as circumcisions, weddings and funerals, were testimonies of faith and power when displays of fine gold and silver royal regalia and invincible weapons of state, encrusted in precious stones, dazzled the audience.

Due to the resignation of Ferron City Councilman Rodney Toomer on July 27, the vacant position was advertised and applications were received. At the Aug. 23 Ferron City Council meeting, Trent Jackson was appointed to fill the vacancy. Jackson will serve to the end of Toomer's position which will be 2010.
All preparations for Peach Days are continuing, and are moving ahead for a scaled back celebration. There will be no bike ride or ATV poker ride, but the other events typically held at Peach Days will be held. The golf tournament, dinner and breakfast will be fund raising events and the funds will be given to the families of the miners of the Crandall Canyon mine disaster.
Ferron has chosen to honor all coal miners as their honored citizens for Peach Days. Ferron is asking all miners who wish, to be a part of the Peach Days parade which will be held on Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. It will begin at Emery County Care and Rehab, continue along Mill Road to State Street, then to the Fair Grounds. Councilman Joe Trenery said trainers are beginning to move in their horses to train for the Peach Days races.
Plans for the demolition derby are being finalized. It has been decided that the driver and two pit crew members will be the only ones allowed in the pits, or entry into the derby. Everyone else will be charged an entrance fee and no one else will be allowed in the pits.
The restaurant at Millsite Golf Course has closed, but discussions are underway to possibly have a new manager with hopes that it will reopen soon.
Councilman Trenery announced the bids for the tractor for the cemetery. The council reviewed and approved the bid to purchase the new tractor from Caterpillar and purchase a canopy for the tractor. The old tractor will be put out for bid soon.
Councilperson Jo Sansevero requested volunteers to help with the fun day. She said there are more things planned than volunteers to run the events. Any resident of Ferron who is willing to help should contact Sansevero. She also announced that RJ the Clown will be in the park for the entire day on Sept. 8 to entertain.
The next Ferron City Council meeting will be held Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. at Ferron City Hall.

France born 1943
Pénétration [Penetration]
Place made:
Materials & Technique: sculptures, installation, cotton stuffed with polyester, angora wool, nylon, electric lights
Annette Messager's Penetration 1993–94 takes us on a tour under the skin, deep into the human body cavity, through familiar but strangely fascinating forms that hang like misshapen stalactites. These oversized body organs are soft, stuffed fabric shapes in vivid colours. The circulatory system is shown in its arterial and venous forms: bright, glowing cerise for the newly oxygenated blood, and dark blue for the oxygen-depleted. An intestine coiled and curved, squeezes the stuffing at each bend to suggest its peristaltic action. Blood vessels are raised and slightly detached, crisscrossing the heart and chocolate-coloured liver. A common consciousness is pricked, of memories from biology lessons: 'They are clichés (or recollections) from our childhood class books.'[1] Because the objects are modest and unrefined, they also recall the coarse stuffed toys and clumsy objects produced in school domestic-science classes.
In her use of domestic crafts and materials, Messager makes a clear connection with the feminine, consequently turning her back on dominant art practices. Needlework is conventionally acknowledged as an expression of femininity rather than as serious art, to the extent that 'in the 19th century [needlework] and femininity were entirely fused … Women embroidered because they were naturally feminine, and feminine because they naturally embroidered.'[2] By inference, the most intricate and attractive work was produced by the most passive and feminine women.
This finesse and refinement are not at all evident in Messager's handiwork for Penetration. The objects are roughly stitched and dangle casually from fuzzy angora-wool threads. The effect is of a forest, a dense scrubby wood that we must struggle to get through. Like the artist's earlier work Mes voeux (My vows) 1989, in which hundreds of little photographs and texts are suspended on strings,[3] the impact of Penetration's body organs is both singular and cumulative, like being in a forest when 'you cannot see the wood for the trees.' Unlike Dante's journey into Hell, however, the route through Messager's forest is not dark or threatening. The initial impression is playful and enticing as the elements tempt us to touch them. We are drawn in to enjoy the 'decorations' before we even entertain thoughts of the butcher's shop.
Individual lights hang within the installation and encourage our close examination of the body organs, illuminating and revealing their forms and, like doctors' probes, delineating one from the other. Foetuses hang like pendants from their fine woollen 'umbilical cords'. Their presence defines the female body's capacity for reproduction; their dislocation suggests that they have been removed or lost through abortion or miscarriage. However, this installation embodies the human anatomy in its entirety—it includes elements that are common to both sexes, as well as the internal reproductive organs specific to each.
Like many of Messager's installations, Penetration is calculated to 'disturb the viewer's mind.' She draws on the Surrealists' philosophy to awaken a place in our subconscious; Messager has cited Réne Magritte's illusionistic imagery as one important influence.[4] In addition, she has a vast repertoire of sources and stimuli that have permeated her life and work. Messager's biological construct in Penetration disregards gender and the conditioning that accompanies it. In doing so, she suggests a universal experience of the body rather than a conventional, socialised female or male identification with physicality. Messager proposes that 'one believes we know these shapes, however [I] would prefer we could go through them in order to be really inside, as organs are inside our body'.
