First thing I want to do is admit I was wrong on a few things. I was really wrong when I said that the score wasn't going to be as lopsided as the last time these two teams met, back in 2007. Well I was really wrong on that one with Baylor blasting Kansas with the score of 55-7, the most points Baylor has ever scored against a Big XII opponent. It has been since 1994 since Baylor has ever humiliated a conference opponent that bad by beating Houston back in the good ole SWAC days. I guess the real Baylor team wasn't the team that got dismantled by TCU. The next point I was wrong about was that is if Kansas was going to have a chance to win they must stop Baylor's running attack. Somewhat wrong, but somewhat right as well. Baylor had 244 yards of rushing, but it was the 434 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air that sent the Jayhawks home, beak tucked between their legs. That was the most passing yards Kansas has given up since Oklahoma put up 468 in 2008. Baylor finished with 678 yards total for the game, and a little over 600 were all gained before the fourth quarter! It's never a good sign when your opponent feels so bad for you that they are trying to run out the clock with a quarter still left to play.
Now with that being said the key words of the game were, BIG PLAYS, BIG PLAYS, BIG PLAYS. I thought Kansas had looked like they had a solid game plan by containing Griffin, and at the time shutting down big plays on the outside. Well to Baylor's credit they took what the Jayhawk defense would give by throwing screens or slant routes, or by getting a few yards rushing here or there. Now for the big plays. Baylor only got into the red zone four times, that's it. They scored on 37 yard field goal, which was kicked from the 20 yard line after only having to go five yards since a Webb fumble put them in great field position. The next was a Griffin one yard touchdown run after a 34 yard reception that put them on the goal line. Oh and on that drive Baylor averaged around 13 yards per play. Another red zone score was off a 11 yard touchdown pass where a scrambling Griffin found a wide open Williams in the endzone. Another late one yard to end the game was the other score in the redzone. Other big plays were the 94 yard touchdown reception, that should have been stopped for a minimal gain. The pick the Jayhawks should have got right before half, before Baylor marched down with fairly ease to get a 50 yard field goal. Webb threw two picks, one for a 14 yard touchdown. Or how about Sims' fumbling on the 12 yard line after Kansas put together a really good looking drive. Or least I forget the 50 yard touchdown pass wide receiver pass from Wright. As many Kansas fans are very embarrassed, as I am, as the team and staff is or should be looking like sorry high school team. I hope this bye week is used to its max potential, or another embarrassing loss to rival K-State could have Turner on a very hot seat as the University is getting a new A.D.

I was in high school when Nixon resigned; and we knew the Fords fairly well because they lived near us in Alexandria. Susan and I were classmates and our senior prom was at the White House and Ford spoke at our graduation. So that's probably about the time I got interested in the workings of government. I think my strongest opinions were formed a few years after graduating from college when I was working at the State Dept. and had the great misfortune to be assigned to the U.S. Mission to the U.N. twice.

Well probably FDR indirectly. I was a third grader I would guess when Dad and an Uncle ( bil ) argued about FDR. The Uncle had a government job ( full time you know with good pay for those days ). We were struggling along milking cows, selling eggs and farming. Times were not good for us. FDR was the enemy as far as most of our relatives were concerned. Most saw him as a dictator. The Uncle never could admit any wrong doing by FDR. I vote for the man not the party. Probably due to the fact that I don't remember a party ever being mentioned back then. Just FDR's bad points not anything about his party. Of course at that age political party did not mean a thing to me A man's morals etc. were what was important to my parents.

I have always been apolitical, vote for the person, not the party. My first time to vote was 1964, and I was still pretty young and liberal, but went for Goldwater rather than LBJ. I liked that Barry said what he thought, and could not stand LBJ. Became more and more conservative over the years, but am very concerned over the direction of the GOP now. ( An old saying: You become conservative about the same time you pay for your kid's first orthodontist's bill!)
Middle school teacher. Brought in to different history books telling the same story differently. Made us ask ourselves what side of the story we wanted to be on. Over and over the side that worked the hardest and were willing to sacrifice the most prevailed.
In my 1st POTUS election I voted for Stevenson as I did not feel a military man should be in charge of the country & felt that Truman handled the Big Mac affair rather well. But as time went by that to changed, the comments my Grandpa used to make when I was a little tyke began to soak in & I began to pay attention. I came from a fairly humble background & was making my own way @ 15. You learn a lot about people & their willingness to take advantage of those they deem vulnerable.
Then along came Goldwater, I read his book "Conscience of a Conservative" & recognized him as not the flame thrower the MSM made him out to be. A lot of other people that I personally knew by their deeds, good & bad, have shown what is best for the country.
I personally don't believe one individual should have that much influence as everyone has their warts . I am least impressed by the self congratulatory christians that attempt to influence the debate.

THE next day, the 18th of May, 18—, was a day of note in my life. I had been looking forward to it during the past week with a small portion of pleasant anticipation and a large portion of shy tremor. It was the day of my first dinner party. Yes, though I was nineteen years of age, I had never been as one of those solemn symposium which form the Englishman's idea of festivity. But twice or thrice during all my nineteen years had I exhibited my bare neck and arms to an admiring public, and once I had been to a ball. That ball seemed to me the one thing of importance that had ever happened to me. I dated from it as the Greeks did from the first Olympiad, or the Romans, ab urbe condita.
Dolly—let it be understood that Dolly is my sister, and my senior by four years page: 25 —had rather got into the habit of repressing me—keeping me and what charms I had in the background, hiding my light, if I had any light, under a bushel. As for herself, she loved the world, technically so called, with all her heart, and soul, and strength, with the one‐idead devotion of a Frenchwoman.
In the main, I was tolerably content to remain under the bushel where I had been deposited by sisterly care; having hardly tasted the fire‐water of dissipation, I did not miss its stimulus. I stayed at home with my old daddy, and portered about our pleasant, weedy old garden, cawed around by clamorous rooks, and where Jacob's ladder, and columbines, and white pinks, and lilies of all sorts and sizes flourished with a luxuriance I have never seen approached in trimmer parterres. O dear, old dad, when shall I walk hand in hand with you again? Will you call me your little Nell in Heaven? I do not want you to be a glorified saint, with an aureole round your head, and triumphant joy in your altered eyes; no longer full of that careworn, tender look. I thirst page: 26 to see you just as you were, in the old hall‐garden, just as you were with your dear gray head, and your shabby old coat, and your poor sorrowful smile. I should not recognize you, exultant in your palmy crown, I who only knew you toiling along under your heavy cross.
Let me try and forget you, oh, my father; do without you, as one after another we have to do without our darlings here below. Let me go back to the old Castle Rackrent, where I lived when I was not all alone. Lazy and dowdy I pottered about there, with my inconveniently abundant hair fastened up, in an unbecoming lump, at the back of my head, and my slim young body encased in such of Dolly's old clothes as I could induce to meet across me. Sometimes, indeed, it struck me that it would be pleasant to flaunt about in airy fashionable raiment, such as my sister rejoiced in, instead of in my sorry gowns, which made my figure look as if it went out wherever it ought to go in, and went in wherever it ought to go out. Once for a few days, I cherished the wild scheme page: 27 of launching forth my small boat on the ocean of the world outside the old black and white house, with the casemented windows, and the queer gargoyle faces grinning down on us poor players strutting out our little day beneath them. I even let my fancy stray amongst troops of unknown, ardent youths, all of whom bore a resemblance more or less prononcé to a certain penniless Captain Gordon, with whom, at the before mentioned ball, I had danced eight several times, thereby drawing down the vials of Dolly's wrath on my devoted head.
Once, and once only, I rebelled against my enforced hermitship, and we had a grand quarrel upon the subject. But Dolly being strong‐minded, and I being weak‐minded, I being the earthenware vessel, and she the iron one, the dispute ended, as our disputes always did, by my fondant en larmes, begging Dolly's pardon, and submitting.
"After all," said I to myself, leaning out of the window among the honeysuckle sprays, to cool my tear‐swollen cheeks, "it is as it should be." Dolly was page: 28 beautiful, and the Le Stranges had always been beautiful, and it was right she should go forth and be a credit to the old house, and I was ugly, and the Le Stranges had never been ugly, and it was meet that I should keep in the obscurity, for which alone I was calculated. But was I ugly? It was not very often that I asked myself whether the face that met me night and morning in my looking‐glass was one calculated to make men's hearts ache, and their hot blood surge, or to lull them in a stagnant calm; but now and again the question would suggest itself, and clamour to be answered. Was I ugly? Hesitatingly, slowly, sadly, regretfully, I always answered in the affirmative. Sometimes I feared I was distressingly ugly. There was nothing neat, or smooth, or regular about my face, and oh those carrotty locks! How many sighs and inward groans they cost me.
One day I resolved to ask Dolly's opinion about my outward woman. Dolly was not a very nice person I thought, not very easy to live with, and though she was my only page: 29 sister, I did not care much about her; but for her judgment I had the profoundest reverence. We were sitting in the hall that winter morning, Dolly on a dark oak settle with a carved and writhen back, by the wide fireplace, in which a great log of wood was crackling and sputtering cheerily, and against the faded Utrecht velvet, Dolly's bright blue draperies, and pure young profile, stood out clear and bright. I, who have a propensity for sitting on things that were not intended to be sat on, and for not sitting on things that were so intended, was squatting in an ungraceful but agreeable attitude, on the middle of a long table, that ran along under the windows over against her, hugging my own knees.
Dolly was a very fair woman to look upon; a small oval face, liquid brown eyes that had a way of looking up meekly and beseechingly, that no man less self‐contained than St. Senanus could resist, a little sharp‐cut nose absolutely perfect, a sweet grave mouth, and an expression nun‐like, dovelike, Madonna‐like; she looked as if her life must be one long prayer. I do page: 30 not think it was though, or if it was it was a prayer said backwards. I gazed at her with a youthful enthusiasm, dashed with envy.
"Dolly," said I, "I wish I were as pretty as you."
"Do you?" said Dolly, not looking up from her work, for what was the good of looking meekly, beseechingly at me?
"Yes, I do," said I, "I'd pray for such a face every night among my other prayers, only I know it would be no good."
"Not the slightest, I should say."
"I wonder why God gives some people so many more gifts than others; will he make it up to the poor ugly ones in Heaven?"
"You'd better consult Mr. Bowles."
Now Mr. Bowles was our curate, and an individual for whom I entertained one of those unreasoning, unjustifiable abhorrences, often bred in the immature minds of the extremely young of the female sex, for some one of their acquaintance.
"Dolly," said I, reproachfully, "that's always the way you answer my questions. I'm sure I wonder that I ever ask you any."page: 31
"Don't, then."
"By‐the‐bye, Dolly," getting rather hot, and clutching my knees more firmly than ever, "do you think I am—ahem—ahem—so very ugly?"
"I never think about it," responded Dolly, coolly.
"But do think about it, this once, Dolly, please," I urged anxiously.
Dolly raised her sweet eyes, and surveyed my perturbed countenance calmly.
"I don't admire you," she said, dropping them again, "but that's no reason why somebody should not. Some people may like red hair and a wide mouth."
I yielded to destiny. I was ugly. I must try and be good, or clever, or eccentric, for it was very evident that pretty I could never be. I was ashamed of myself for having mooted the question. At the time I am writing of, Dolly was away from home on a visit to some admiring friends in a distant county, and to this fact was owing my introduction to the world. Her absence was a matter of great, though secret rejoicing, both to my father and myself. We did not tell one page: 32 another we were glad, but I think we were each tolerably well aware of the other's sentiments. Truth to tell, our Madonna kept us rather in order, and was somewhat of a thorn in the flesh to us. I sometimes caught myself wondering whether, in the event of Dolly's death, I should be enabled to cry a little and wear a decent semblance of grief. I hoped I should be, but misdoubted myself somewhat. I need not have been disquieted. As I write, myself tottering on the verge of that last bed I so tiredly long for, Dolly is in the heyday of health and prosperity. Dolly will have that tear difficulty to contend with in my case; not I in hers. She will vanquish it, and will weep plentifully over this poor thin carcass, which indeed is ugly now.

I just received an e-mail concerning the change in the application dates to file for some of the quota hunt WMA's for fall and spring season. If any of you guys are planning on coming to Florida for fall or spring turkey and plan to hunt public land double check with the Florida Wildlife Commission web site to make sure of the application dates for those areas.
The reason for the change is because the state is changing its vendor system. This is causing a kink in the application system.
Hope you don't get caught in the shuffle!

Thank you for the callbacks.
Open 1st series:
1st thrown right hand bird, right to left, hell of a long way out, flyer thrown left to right inverted triple, left hand bird thrown right to left in front of a small group of trees. Dogs ran from a high dyke with 3 possible water entries ( for cooling down), tight lines up front wide open layout. Handlers tried all variations. Order was right, left, flyer (middle bird). After the flyer it was a choice between the water bird –left bird with some water if the dog was really honest, sometimes too honest, & then out and to the bird. Almost a ¼ mile? Then the right hand bird; a tight line if you tried for the corner of the pond where we ran from. In front of the flyer and a long way out. Lots of choices for the dogs. Left hand bird had another group of trees to the right of the bird to choose to run to. Right hand bird had so much; dykes,ponds & trees.
Am 1st series
Also ran through the corner of a pond. 3 tight lines.
Right hand bird out of a winger, thrown left to right behind a dried out bush, did not retire. Middle's line was essentially through a huge bush, landing pretty tight behind the flyer.station. Thrown right to left. Flyer right to left. Dogs ran in a huge . dry, ploughed field. It was easy to over run both right hand & middle marks or run behind guns. The wind was a huge factor , in the a.m left to right &then switching in the p.m. from right to left. Wa-hay for nature!!!!
Sorry if some of this doesn't make sense. It has been a long, VERY hot & dry day ending late .

text: The minor stakes like the Qual oughta start at say, 7:30 before the open, run all the pro dogs then let the Pro's focus on the first stake of the Open. Have the open start at 9 or later. It's able to run into two days or three if needed. Seems like it would level out possible changing light and scenting conditions for the Open which would even the playing field. Obviously, in that arena the minor stakes hold less importance. I'm sure I'm no time bandit here but, makes sense in my mind although, in my short time running FT's I've never seen it done. Seems like from a time management standpoint it would cut down on a lot of run around. Sort of seems like it would allow them to run back over and start the third(or second) series while the open is moving on to the next series. Always seems like the Open and Q stakes run at the same pace and have the same time delays when the Q starts after the open which almost always will be taking longer and have a larger entry.

text: Woo, I fixed my CPU fan! For the longest time, it hasn't been running. Every time I did something CPU intensive for a sustained period of time, the CPU would overheat and restart the machine. Half a bottle of WD-40 put an end to that! I was so satisfied with my new fan that I dug out the motherboard manual and tried my hand at some overclocking (I'm still running my trusty 233-MMX). It was to no avail, though. When I bought this box, it was clocked as high as it would go.

Well I've been working recently on a Perl irc bot, smeg. It's an interesting way to pass time. We're in the process of moving a lot of persistent data to a SQL backend. Eimi has been investigating PostgreSQL and MySQL. Smeg is getting pretty advanced. He speaks on topic, utilizing a rather large database of quotations (originally based on the fortune packages). He also gets information from the web and of course has some preprogrammed responses. He has a mood and and affiliation to individual users based on their karma. He keeps a hierarchy of objects and how they relate to each other which provides him with a basic understanding of the universe. He can tell your fortune, give you news headlines (/., LinuxToday, and lwn.net daily).
We'd really like to do more to separate the "engine" (such as it is) from the implementation. The ultimate goal is to make him seem more human-like, while providing some cool bot-like functions which can be hidden. To that end he will spontaneously do things such as mark himself away for various reasons (depending on his mood, which isn't arbitrary--it's based on how users treat him), speak spontaneously, etc. Admins of Smeg have remote control over him. He plays cards (52 games to be precise), keeps a calendar and watch which can affect things he does which are time or date specific and admin-definable. He will give definitions of words, perform web-queries, and serve a damn fine beer (if he likes you). I shit you not.

Assignment: Education - Sculptures
Holmen High School art students create a colorful cafeteria
HOLMEN, Wis. -- When you walk through the doors at Holmen High School ...
"I think it's pretty cool," said a Holmen High School student.
You're greeted by something super spectacular.
"It takes your breath away," said Virginia Thom, Holmen High School cook.
"They look like they took a lot of time," said a Holmen High School student.
This eye-catching artwork is transforming the high school cafeteria.
"I saw the ladder," said Thom. "I thought what the heck is going on."
The lunchroom is getting a make-over. It was inspired by an art teacher who felt her students could help build a sense of community within their school.
"There's this wonderful large space with sky lights down there and that's where all the students gather," said Christine Michels, Holmen High School art teacher. "And it just seemed like a space that needed a personal touch. And there's nothing more personal than art work."
So, Ms. Michel's art metals class took recycled materials and created a spring-themed art gallery for the ceiling.12424744
"I'm making a dragonfly," said Haleigh Hendersen, Holmen High School freshman.
With styrofoam, coat hangers, newspaper and a few embellishments, Haleigh and her classmates are helping to bring color to the cafeteria.
"It's interesting to see what you can actually create with things that nobody else wants to use," said Hendersen.
It's almost hard to believe such beauty can be created from re-purposed materials. But if there was ever any doubt, Holmen high school art students have made believers out of their high school community.
"I have to say I am impressed... totally impressed by their artistic ability," said Thom. "It's amazing."
"The way that the light hits them and everything. It just makes the whole place glow," said a Holmen High School student.
"This is really cool to be able to do something like this," said Hendersen.
"There's stress in everyone's life," said Michels. "When you walk through the lunchroom and you're on your way to math class and math may not be your thing, not slammin' on math, but if it's something that creates stress and you see that and it's something that makes you look up and smile... it's worth it."

Undergraduate Admission
Honors Program
The Honors Program is an intellectual and creative community that provides a four-year, interdisciplinary, collaborative learning experience for incoming students of exceptional ability. The Honors Program supplements major study with a challenging liberal arts curriculum composed of interdisciplinary seminars, collaborative research projects, and faculty-directed independent study.
Applying to the Honors Program
Admission to the Honors Program is competitive and only first-year students applying for September Admission are eligible. Each fall, approximately 50 outstanding first-year applicants enroll in the Honors Program. Each Honors Program Scholar is also awarded a $24,000 Trustees Scholarship, which is renewable for up to four years at the College.
All first-year students, regardless of major, are invited to apply to the Honors Program. Your Honors Program application decision has no bearing, however, on your admission decision to the College. Students can be accepted to the College without being invited to the Honors Program.
To apply, you must complete a 400–600 word essay in addition to the Common Application and Application Supplement required by the office of Undergraduate Admission. The essay may either be uploaded with the Common Application at the time of submission or may be uploaded within the Admission Portal after submitting your Undergraduate application.
Honors Essay Topic
Please respond to the following in 400-600 words: Wallace Bacon, a recipient of an honorary doctorate from Emerson College in 1975, wrote that the liberal arts, or humanities, "are concerned with the question of what makes life worth living. And that question concerns not simply oneself but others. The humanities must help us learn who we are; they must help us learn the otherness of others."
In this light, describe an encounter with someone or something different—an "other" which revealed to you your sense of self and your relationship to humanity. This encounter may involve a person, place, culture, or text (book, speech, film, play, etc.).
Early Action: November 15, selected outstanding applicants notified in December
Regular Decision: February 1, notification by April 1
Our Honors Program allows you to take advantage of individual advising, special lectures, interdisciplinary fulfillment of Emerson's general education requirements, collaborative research projects, and special extracurricular activities. You will also receive mentoring and interact with upper-class colleagues. Through social events and community service projects you become an integral part of the Honors Program's "community of learners."
Students enrolled in the program also receive our top merit award, a $24,000 Trustees Scholarship that is renewable each academic year. Trustees Scholars are ineligible for the Luminary Scholarship or our other merit awards.
More Information
You can find more information about requirements and eligibility at the Honors Program website.

"A Good Dog is a Good Dog"
I always wondered about people saying too many Derbies ruining a dog. Then the same dog is double staked in the Open and the Am. 20 times a year for the next 5 years.
Never heard anyone say that running 10 series at a National would ruin a dog either.
The Derby is the most "fun" phase of the "Field trial experience."

"Field trials are not a game for good dogs. They're for great dogs with great training." E. Graham
It really depends on the dog. If you have a Steady Eddie, I don't see the problem. Running mine helped her.
my dogs never "cheat the water"......hell, they avoid it altogether. btw if i didn't hang with folks who are laughing at my dogs i would be lonely.
"the really smart ones get there the fastest way possible, we are training the hunting ability out of our dogs." -Robert Milner......did robert say that of was it me?
john mccallie
if i look pissed off its just my personlity, didnt mean any harm.
Ok, so this is what I've gathered from this conversation regarding running your pup in the derby:
•Training: Do yourself a favor and get pup through Swim-by, water decheating. Make sure pup can do LOOONG marks and long tricky doubles.
•Maturity or Steadiness: If you have a crazy lunatic who is only steady with an e collar on its neck, may want to work on steadiness and let pup mature before running.
•Readiness: If you have a pup who's steady when flyers are being shot as the first mark of a double and remains steady for the second mark, can run a decent line through land/water combos and is a really good marker at 350 yards - then go and have fun at the derby.
Bonus: If you meet all the above requirements, you can almost immediately enter the next phase of competition when you have aged out of Derby (as long as you've been training for blinds).
Any corrections or additions?

Travel the South Seas with this colorful Asian-inspired salad.
To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350ºF oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
Enoki mushrooms taste almost fruity, unlike the woodsy flavor of most other mushrooms. They are available year-round at Asian markets and some supermarkets.

Riboflavin is a type of B vitamin. It is water soluble, which means it is not stored in the body. You must replenish the vitamin in your body every day.
Vitamin B2
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) works with the other B vitamins. It is important for body growth and red blood cell production and helps in releasing energy from carbohydrates.
The following foods provide riboflavin in the diet:
Breads and cereals are often fortified with riboflavin. Fortified means the vitamin has been added to the food.
Because riboflavin is destroyed by exposure to light, foods with riboflavin should not be stored in glass containers that are exposed to light.
Deficiency of riboflavin is not common in the United States because this vitamin is plentiful in the food supply. Symptoms of a severe deficiency include:
Because riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin, leftover amounts leave the body through the urine. There is no known poisoning from riboflavin.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamins reflects how much of each vitamin most people should get each day. The RDA for vitamins may be used to help create each person's goal.
How much of each vitamin you need depends on your age and gender. Other factors, such as pregnancy and illnesses, are also important. Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you
Dietary Reference Intakes for riboflavin (vitamin B2):
*Adequate Intake (AI)
Adolescents and Adults
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.

Fresh off his victory hosting the Sochi Winter Olympics, Russian president Vladimir Putin faces a critical geopolitical test in the aftermath of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych's ouster this past weekend. Veteran journalist Serge Schmemann believes that Putin "is watching very carefully and will not act in haste." Rather than marginalize Russia, he recommends that the European Union and United States try bringing Putin "into the tent" for a joint effort to stabilize Ukraine. And despite the formidable challenges that lie ahead, Schmemann says he is heartened "that so many leaders right now are urging each other to be responsible" and avoiding actions that could plunge the area into greater tensions or even combat.
How do you think Russian president Vladimir Putin will respond to the ouster of former president Yanukovych? So far, he's been quiet.
Putin is giving it a long, hard think because he never really had that much faith in Yanukovych. Yanukovych was a difficult guy, who was really looking out for himself and was very corrupt. He was not a reliable partner. The things he did spurred a lot of disharmony in Ukraine, so I'm not sure that Putin was that sad to lose Yanukovych. Right now, it seems that the Ukrainian nationalists are in charge in the Parliament, but who knows how long that will last. There's a presidential election set for May 25; we'll see what candidates emerge.
In all this disarray, I think Putin is watching very carefully and will not act in haste. He has the power, of course, to do a lot of damage. He could close off the borders between Russia and Ukraine and he's already agreed not to send any more money. So he could inflict a lot of damage to Ukraine, which is already suffering economically. And that's why it's crucial for the United States and Europe not to gloat but to try [including] Putin in any solution. This is a chance to bring him in, to somehow make clear to him that this is no longer a tug-of-war. It's a lose-lose situation if the place gets even more chaotic. Right now, Ukraine requires a large infusion of capital and a lot of encouragement to create a stable government. So before he makes up his mind, it is crucial to try to bring him into the tent. That's a very important next step.
There was a lot of telephone diplomacy this past weekend: President Obama spoke to Putin, and Putin spoke to German chancellor Angela Merkel. And EU Foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton arrived in Kiev on Monday. How can world powers help ease Ukraine's transition?
Catherine Ashton is there to assess the situation, and Christine Lagarde, the director-general of the IMF, has been doing the same. And Merkel, Putin, Obama, and Secretary of State John Kerry have all been talking. I think they're all exploring and that's a good sign. (There was a strong negative statement from Russian prime minister Dmitri Medvedev, but that was for domestic consumption.)
It's Putin who's going to have to make up his mind. He's coming off a high from the Olympics. He could become a spoiler, but this may be a time when he finally joins forces. He's seen that efforts to try to manipulate the government of Ukraine have failed, and he's tried it twice with Yanukovych, first with the bad elections in 2003 then with what he did back in August to prevent the European Association Agreement. He's realized there's not much he can do to manipulate it and that the place is on the verge of civil strife, which is really not in his interest. And it's not in the interest of the Russian speaking part of Ukraine.
What role can Germany play in stabilizing the situation?
The western Europeans have been divided on the issue of Ukraine and that's how the Association Agreement came about. It was something way short of membership. The Poles, the eastern Europeans, and the Swedes wanted very much to encourage the Ukrainians to move westward, but France and Germany were not particularly keen on throwing money at Ukraine, especially with the corruption that is so rampant there and the oligarchs who run the place. So I wonder if Merkel is going to be keen to commit a lot of money, but she will be under a lot of pressure right now, both from within the EU and from the United States, to come up with a viable aid package. And we're talking billions of euros, something very substantial to prop up Ukraine.
What are the risks facing Ukraine in coming days?
If it came to bloodshed between east and west in Ukraine, the Russians would be under very strong pressure to intervene on behalf of fellow Russians. They have their interests down in Crimea, so the situation is obviously very dangerous. I personally suspect that the Russians have absolutely no interest in going in militarily. Their incursion in Georgia in 2008 cost them huge amounts of international prestige. They've just come off fairly successful Olympics games. I don't think that this is something Putin wants at all, but it's something he could be drawn into and that's probably why they're talking with NATO. Everybody right now is trying to tell each other: "Listen, be careful. This is still a very dangerous situation."
The situation in Ukraine has been played up very much as east versus west, good guys versus bad guys, but we know the Ukrainian experience. When they had the last Orange Revolution, the government that followed fell apart, and internal squabbling led to Yanukovych being honestly elected. It's a very, very divided country and not only divided in half. I know many Russians in Ukraine who are not pro–Russia the country, but want to defend their language and their history and all that. So it's not a clean divide.
Who do you see emerging in the Ukrainian leadership?
It will be a huge undertaking to form a national unity government. Yulia Tymoshenko is back. She's already tainted, but she'll probably make a stab. Vitali Klitschko, the boxer, is a very attractive figure: he's got a doctorate and he's a world-class boxing champion. Plus, he's against corruption, he's moderate, and he wouldn't want to cut off Russia. But he's got no experience in government. The oligarchs there are also not going to be too keen on somebody who's going to battle corruption too valiantly. A lot of factors to watch, but it's heartening that so many leaders right now are urging each other to be responsible.
This would be a really good time for a G8 meeting. What are the next steps?
You can get foreign ministers on short notice for something like this, but this is not a NATO issue. This is about the EU and United States: Ashton, Kerry, and Obama are moving, so the key actors are in play. But they're going to have to decide how much money is on the table. Then they're going to have to make clear that they're prepared to disperse it and, above all, what their conditions are. What kind of government? What kind of reforms? They have to make very clear to the Ukrainians what they expect.

Laurier Centre for Sustainable Food Systems to explore Food, diversity and inclusion at public discussion
Mar 11/14| For Immediate Release
Alison Blay-Palmer, Associate Professor
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO All living things need food to survive. With this simple fact in mind, there is much that can be learned about a community by examining the way it produces, distributes and consumes food.
On Thursday, March 20 Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Centre for Sustainable Food Systems and the University of Torontos New College will present a discussion on Food, diversity and inclusion, featuring three speakers who each bring a unique perspective when it comes to the broader impacts of food systems.
The discussion will be moderated by Marc Xuereb from the Region of Waterloo Public Health, while the panel will include Malik Yakini, founding member and executive director of the Detroit Black Food Security Network and D'town Farm co-founder, and Utcha Sawyers, food justice and community food animation, FoodShare, Toronto. Joseph Leblanc, founding board member and president of True North Community Co-operative, will join remotely from Thunder Bay.
This panel provides an important venue to discuss inclusion and diversity in our local sustainable food system and beyond, said Alison Blay-Palmer, an associate professor in Lauriers Department of Geography and Environmental Studies and director of the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems. We look forward to learning about experiences in northern Ontario, Detroit and Toronto as they relate to Waterloo.
The event will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. and take place at the Balsillie School of International Affairs (67 Erb St. West). Admission is free and open to the public, however seating is limited so anyone interested in attending must RSVP. Desserts and coffee will be provided.
Click here to RSVP.
Food systems are an effective lens for understanding and acting on some of the most pressing issues facing communities, including growing global food insecurity. Lauriers Centre for Sustainable Food Systems brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines from Geography and Environmental Studies, to Religion and Culture, to Business and Economics to examine and address the interconnected environmental, social and economic challenges facing the global food system. For more information, click here or contact Alison Blay-Palmer, director: Centre for Sustainable Food Systems, at email@example.com.

You just know he secretly wants to be Michael Moore's love slave. :)
We are now accepting paper submissions for OLS 2003. OLS is now in its fifth year, and we're looking forward to seeing everyone again.
Yeah, resistance is futile.
Andrew and I have successfully bought a house. It's a 1500 square foot townhouse. It has 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, den, garage and basement. It's about three times the space we're living in now. It'll be good to not feel so cramped.
My dog Tigger died suddenly in her sleep. she just didn't wake up again. Everything just seems so gray without her.
I can't believe she's gone.
As far as I know, there are only maybe 2 or 3 people showing up for the Kernel Summit and not attending OLS. The rest are staying in Ottawa for the duration. I don't think that hurts us at all. The theory was that by holding the Kernel Summit before OLS, more people would attend both events, although I personally think that the Kernel Summit benefited a little more from this arrangement than OLS did. We always ask the attendees what they thought of the event, and usually they say, "too much content...brain fried!" and I guess that's a good thing. I wonder what effect the KS will have on their responses.
As for the negative vibes aspect of it, I am completely unqualified to comment. So yeah, you'll have to take that up with someone more knowledgeable than I.
Tigger has an ear infection. I have to squirt medicine in her ears twice a day. She doesn't like it. Oh well, it's only for 2 weeks, we're half way through. Golden Retrievers get ear infections a lot, it's to be expected, especially as they get older.
We got four boxes delivered to us from HP yesterday. We've got one Omnibook, five E-PCs, and ten Procurve switches to give away.
I have decided to dye my hair red. I'm a bit sick of blonde. I think a change would do me some good. Maybe I'll do it tonight.
LotR: There are people here who will consistently crank out crappy diary entries. But I've never really believed in openly criticizing another's diary, because you never know when you'll accidentally say something stupid and someone else will think, "Wow, this diary makes no sense. This is utter crap!" However, I will often think to myself, "Wow, this diary makes no sense. This is utter crap!" But I'll never say it. I'm too polite. Or chicken. Or something like that.
Besides, I've always thought at least 50% of my diary entries were crap.
We are doing the final check of the OLS show guide. It goes out for printing today!
We get the t-shirts soon.
We're sold out, but I still need to collect money from seven people. They are in danger of losing their spots!
Have you ever had one of those days, where nothing you read makes any sense?
OLS has all of 3 passes left. We're finally close to selling out. Yay.
I spent all Monday evening carting dirt from one end of the co-op into my back yard. My back yard has 2 inches of topsoil, and under that, it's a mixture of gravel and clay. Nothing grows back there.
Got a sunburn over the weekend. Ouch. I need to put some aloe on my shoulders.
I got a fax today that says "Motivation is like bathing... You need it every day to be effective!" I wish I could tell one of my co-workers that. And I'm not talking about motivation.

If 95% if the white population voted for any white candidate, can you imagine the screaming of racism the press, Jesse, Al and the rest of the lib establishment would be doing? Just asking...
Bill Davis
The difference is, blacks still comprise a minority of this country, therefore many whites and non-African-Americans ALSO had to vote for him in order to secure a win. So he did not win merely on racist votes.
Its really a bogus argurment, as there have not been black candidates (with rare exceptions) in this country. Your question above can easily be answered with "virtually 100% of white voters HAVE voted for white candidates throughout this country's history! Does that make them racist? Of course not.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
In the context of Obama vs McCain... if 95 % of white voters had voted for McCain.... if I have to spell it out that literally is what I should have said. Of course white voters have voted for white candidates. In this case, they had a "racial" choice and a majority of WHITE voters voted for the black candidate. I'm pretty sure you know what I was getting at.
Bill Davis
Also, until Obama, elections for president came down to 2 white men. So, who do you think 95% of the white population was voting for? And, coincidentally, 95% of the black voting population was voting for a white man too. Did the press, Jesse, Al and the rest of the lib establishment scream racism?
More than 90% of black voters have voted for the Democratic candidate for president since the 1960s, and LBJ. If the Republicans had run a black candidate, he wouldnt have gotten 95% of the black vote just because he was black. So, contrary to what you are implying, blacks do actually think about who they want to represent them, and why. I know there are those blacks that voted for Obama just because he was black, just like there are those whites that voted against Obama just because he was black.
Let me offer a more reasonable explanation. Maybe the candidate that is more in line with tea party values happened to be white. And maybe the candidate who fell in line with the AA communitie's values happened to be black.
And maybe, just maybe, there are racists in all camps, hopefully comprising a smaller and smaller percentage as we move beyond racism, sexism, and other forms of unfounded discrimination, that grab the attention of the other side when trying to score points.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 12:25 PM GMT am 25. Juni 2007
The tropical Atlantic remains quiet. None of the computer models are showing any tropical development over the next week. The best chance of a new threat area to watch may not occur until July 1, when a strong cold front pushes off the U.S. East Coast.
The Middle East will see their second tropical cyclone of the month on Tuesday. Tropical Cyclone 3B crossed India, killing at least 140, and re-formed in the Arabian Sea, and is poised to hit Iran or Pakistan tomorrow. The View From the Surface blog is following this storm. We may looking at hundreds of years since the last time the Middle East was hit by two tropical cyclones in the same month. Tropical Cyclone Gonu pounded Oman and Iran earlier this month.
Fourth Warmest May on record
May 2007 was the fourth warmest May for the globe on record, and the period January - May of 2007 was tied with 1998 for the warmest such period ever, according to statistics released by the National Climatic Data Center. The global average temperature for May was +0.53�C (+0.95�F) above the 20th century mean. Over land, May global temperatures were the warmest ever measured, the second straight month that has happened. Ocean temperatures were a bit cooler (ninth warmest on record), thanks to the cooling associated with the disappearance of the winter El Ni�o event. The global temperature record goes back 128 years.
May temperatures were particularly warm across Russia. Moscow recorded its highest May temperature since record keeping began 128 years ago--32.9�C (91.2�F). The heat forced Russia's energy administrator to restrict the use of non-residential energy for the first time in summer. In India, a heat wave during mid-May produced temperatures as high as 45-50�C (113-122�F) resulting in at least 128 fatalities. Dr. Ricky Rood's Climate Change blog has more on the India heat wave. Although record heat was more prevalent across the globe, Argentina experienced its coldest May in twenty years, and at least 23 fatalities were reported as a result of cold weather during the last week of May.
11th warmest May on record in the U.S.
In the U.S., May 2007 ranked as the 11th warmest since record keeping began in 1895. The period January through May was the 20th warmest such period on record. Spring (March - May) was 5th warmest on record in the continental U.S. The past six months (Dec-May) were the driest on record for the Southeast U.S. Portions of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee are experiencing exceptional drought. However, the drought has eased some since late May over the Florida Peninsula.

Sea ice extent
Sea ice extent in the Arctic for May was the third lowest on record, a modest recovery from the lowest ever sea ice coverage observed in April. Arctic sea ice coverage in May has declined by about 8% since measurements began in 1979 (Figure 2).

I'll have a new blog on Tuesday.
