fun article to read check it out!
Stephen Jackson is on a bus, somewhere in China, on his way to see the Great Wall for the first time in his life.
At the moment, however, he is not sightseeing. He is talking on a special global cell phone, borrowed from a team P.R. rep. Thanks to a vast international network of towers, airwaves, and digital bits, his voice is transmitted from that bus outside Beijing to my dining room table, where I have a phone pressed to my ear, and a pen in hand.
He has lots of time, and I have lots of questions. It's time to get to know Stephen Jackson.
My first question is the same question I'd ask my mom in this situation. How's China?

"Jack" hears me. This is a world of small miracles.
Being in China, he says, is great. It's a lot of travel, but he's happy to do his part to globalize and strengthen the NBA.
I point out that he is no stranger to international travel -- having played professionally, in his pre-NBA days, in Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, and Australia. He points out that this time around, he's staying in the Ritz Carlton, and it's a lot better.
Then he says a bunch of other stuff about international travel, only that vast global network of towers, airwaves, and digital bits is now on strike, or in stroke, or worse.
Briefly he sounds like metal in the microwave. Then that fades, there are clicks, and finally, magically, " ... in the Dominican Republic, I mean ..." then more clicks, and dead air.
He's talking D.R. The P.R. man is calling me back. We'll try again.
Jackson: "Can you hear me?"
Me: "Loud and clear now."
Jackson: "Good."
Moving right along. If losing parts of the conversation here and there is bad, losing the same conversation again and again is surely worse.
Me: "OK, let me ask you about mopeds. After what happened to Monta Ellis, is it taboo to joke about mopeds on that team?"
Jackson: "One thing about this team. There is nothing that's off limits in the locker room. Bad shoes, bad haircut, anybody can get it at any time, for anything. Plus, I'll tell you what. Monta's in Oakland right now, riding the bike, ahead of schedule. He's going to be back. And everybody makes mistakes. I'm a living testament to that. What matters is not the mistake, but what you do after that, and he's going to do great."
Me: "A moped, though ..."
Then Jackson starts talking, and I know it's going to be interesting. He's no chicken. He talks honestly.
Only ... now he's C3PO again, speaking a rare form of droid dialect.
Angry digital bits, cranky digital journalist.
This is more or less what happened for the next half-hour. I asked questions on provocative topics. Jackson tackled them earnestly and with flair. And here and there, between dropped calls, sad silences, and robot grunts, I managed to hear some parts of some answers.
Some highlights:
* Jackson says that negotiations on a contract extension with the Warriors are going very well: "I'm comfortable it'll be done in the next few weeks." He says he has a great relationship with "Bobby" (which can only be team President Robert Rowell) and owner Chris Cohan. Jackson says he doesn't believe in so-called contract years, "because I won a title in 2003 [with San Antonio] and still didn't get a deal."
* He is resolute that the Warriors will be good. In no particular order, he says the eight playoff teams in the West will be the Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, Jazz, Blazers, Rockets, and Suns.
* There have been stretches, in the past, when Stephen Jackson has been among the very best defenders in the entire NBA. There have also been times when he has been his team's first-line playmaker (for instance in the absence of an injured Baron Davis). And there have certainly been many times he has been a leading scorer. Without Baron Davis, Matt Barnes, and Monta Ellis in the early part of this season, the Warriors will no doubt be counting on Jackson to be all that and a bag of chips. If he does all that, and the Warriors win like he says they will, I point out, he'll be in the MVP conversation. "I'm proud to do everything I can to help my team," he says. "I don't care about the awards. But this will sure be my best opportunity."
* Laugh all you want at Jackson's close friend Stephon Marbury. Jackson realizes a lot of people think Marbury's crazy. But, he points out, almost nobody at Marbury's position has made that much money or put up those kinds of numbers. How crazy is that production? "And if the Knicks let him go, and somehow make the playoffs, I guarantee they'll be wishing they had that experience. ... And if he's not a Knick, I guarantee that we'll try to get him."
* Jackson was sorry that he hadn't been able to watch the final presidential debate because it conflicted with a game.
* Should Warrior fans feel betrayed by Baron Davis? "I look at it two ways," Jackson explains. "The first way is that it's a business. He got to go home, and he got the contract he wanted. Meanwhile the team opened things up for Monta, so it worked out beautifully for both parties. The second way ..." The straight story of Boom Dizzle, and the phone line straight boom fizzles. He's speaking in droid tongues. Connection severed.
We'll leave it there. It's too much. Impossible to talk. And the Warriors are arriving at the Great Wall anyway. That wonder of the world has been sealing out foreigners for ages. As far as I can tell, it's still working.

We use tools to fix things. Just like you'd use literal tools to improve your house, we all use metaphorical tools to improve our lives.
Money is a tool. You would expect a fabulously wealthy technology executive turned venture capitalist to understand this. You might not expect said one-percenter to shout it from a media platform. That's just what Chamath Palihapitiya has done, though, in this fascinating story about his journey from welfare to wealth.
Two pieces of this story fascinate me. First, Palihapitiya is explicit about the role that affordable health care and subsidized university tuition played in his ability to succeed. Without these tools, his family would have been worried about basic survival, not figuring out how to contribute to the technologies of the future.
The second piece is related: without these vital public investments, how would brilliant but disadvantaged individuals like Palihapitiya find their way to success? With the odds already stacked against them, how would today's poor but bright future entrepreneurs make it happen?
"I'm acutely aware that there are many other people who grew up like me who are frankly, 1,000 times more talented then I am," he said. "We should ask ourselves, 'Can somebody like me grow up with the exact same problems and disadvantages and yet get to the equivalent place as me 20 years from now?'"
It's in everyone's best interests to get kids growing up today — many of whom with the same potential — access to economic security and a high quality education. Personally, I think that's a human rights issue.
If you don't, perhaps you will consider the issue of human capital: to have brilliant children with unlimited potential struggling even to survive, with limited access to any upward mobility, is a tragic waste of human capital.
As Steven Jay Gould once put it: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."
Right now the next Einstein or the next Chamath Palihapitiya may be working in, to name one example, North Carolina's tobacco fields. I would like to believe that we, as a community, will find a way to give that person some tools and a chance.
Because, really, that's all that person would need.

Nic DeCaire is owner and founder of Fusion Fitness Center in Newark, DE. He is a graduate of the University of Delaware and Wilmington College. DeCaire is an IFPA certified personal trainer and has been personal training in the Newark area for 12 years. He started his career at age 14 working the front counter at a local fitness center. His success and passion for fitness has grown since then. A former competitive bodybuilder and power lifter, DeCaire has won many awards in the sport. He is the chairman of the Main Street Mile, serves on the board of Kids with Confidence and is a member of the Newark Morning Rotary Club. If you would like to contact DeCaire, he can be reached at 302-738-4580 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why did you become part of the fitness industry? Maybe it's because you love to exercise, or maybe it's because of the joy you experience helping people reach their goals. Perhaps you see it as a way to earn a good living. Whatever your reason, I urge you to consider going a step further by giving back. It pays dividends that are incredibly gratifying.
I did not understand the importance of giving back until four years ago when I opened my own facility, Fusion Fitness Center, in a small college town. As a child, I watched my father, who owns his own insurance company, give back to his community. He did so on many levels. He always was on the board of a particular charity, cause or nonprofit. He frequented fundraising events. I never understood why he would spend so much time helping other people until I started to do so myself. You cannot replace the wonderful feeling you get when you help someone else and see how much they truly appreciate the gesture.
With so many worthy charities out there, it can be difficult to choose which one is a good fit. At Fusion Fitness Center, I have two "house" charities that are close to my heart.
The first one is my financial charity, Kids with Confidence (KWC). My father, who traveled for eight years on missions to Central America with the charity Operation Smile, founded KWC in 2007 after he discovered that we had children in our tri-state area with cleft palates, protruding ears and other maxillofacial deformities who were not getting the help they needed. Insurance companies were denying these children corrective surgeries because the corrections were considered cosmetic. Not having these surgeries prevented children from attending school, playing with other kids in their neighborhoods and joining sports teams because they lacked confidence and felt different and shunned by their peers. Kids with Confidence raises the money necessary to fund the surgeries for these children.
The second one is my volunteer charity, the Special Olympics DE Power Lifting Team. I started working with the group about eight years ago when I met Jon, a young man with Down syndrome, at a local fitness center. He was on the power lifting team and could bench press more than me. As I became involved with the group, I was amazed about how exercise helped these young adults and gave them such joy. When I opened my fitness center in 2006, I asked Jon and his dad Hank (the coach) if the power lifting team would like to work out in my center for free. They were ecstatic. As a result, at 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday for the past four years, we have about 20 young adults with special needs working out at Fusion Fitness Center. The great thing is that they exercise with all the other members. Both groups get a lot out of the experience. It's a win-win situation. And it just feels good.
Here are tips for choosing the right charity for your fitness center and tips for raising money for that charity.
1. Help out the lesser-known charities. Find a small organization with a mission that speaks to you. You will have a bigger impact.
2. Find a charity with personal meaning for you. Did a family member die of breast cancer? Did your cousin have leukemia? Did you or a friend grow up in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program? Find something that has touched you or someone you know.
3. Ask your members. Your members are a great resource. Find out what organizations they support and see if they interest you. They may have personal stories to share or experiences that will affect your decision.
4. Hold at least one fundraiser per year. You want your members and community to understand that you and your staff do more than just collect fees. Hold a wine tasting at a local restaurant. Promote a special protein shake for a month and donate $1 from each sale to the charity. Sponsor a local 5K. There are endless possibilities. Make it fun and interesting, and you'll succeed.
5. Gather change. Near the smoothie bar, leave out a change jar in which members can put their extra change after they purchase a shake. You will be surprised how quickly it adds up. Show a running total so members can see how much they've raised. Members want to see they are making a difference, just like they want to see results from their workouts.
Choosing the right charity can be a tough decision because many great organizations exist and so many people need help. Once you choose your charity, however, you will get back so much more than you give. It's the best feeling in the world.

With the launch of Google Maps on iPhone last week, Google won a big victory against rival Apple.
Google Maps trumps Apple Maps in almost every conceivable way.
But it doesn't stop there. The recent string of updated Google apps on the iPhone like Gmail and the regular Google search app (which mimics some of Siri's voice-controlled functions) are a lot better than Apple's stock apps.
(By the way, Google isn't alone. Just about every Apple-made app that comes with your iPhone can be replaced by a better app.)
Need proof?

After SOPA And ACTA, Now TPP Starts To Fall Apart
from the good-and-getting-better dept
What an extraordinary year this has been for Net activism. After the great SOPA blackout led to SOPA and PIPA being withdrawn, and the anti-ACTA street demonstrations triggered a complete rethink by the European Parliament that may well result in a rejection of the treaty, now it seems that the Trans Pacific Partnership is falling to pieces.
Foreign Policy magazine, for example, has a feature entitled Is the Trans-Pacific Partnership Foundering?, where its author explains that a number of the smaller countries participating in the negotiations are starting to ask themselves whether there are any advantages in joining at all:
Of even more concern, however , is the sudden questioning by the Chileans of the value of the deal as presently being constituted. Chile had been considered a slam dunk supporter. So its raising of questions is a red flag danger signal. Beyond that it seems that the Malaysians are also questioning whether any benefits they may be getting are worth the trouble of further liberalization of their domestic economy. And just to put the icing on the cake, it is becoming ever clearer that the Vietnamese, whose economy resembles that of China with large segments controlled by state owned companies, are going to have great difficulty in actually meeting the high standards being proposed.
As Techdirt has reported, TPP has been negotiated in the utmost secrecy, but now that word is finally leaking out about its provisions, there is resistance building in the US:
Although the deal, known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has received relatively little media attention in the United States, it has sparked international friction among consumer groups and environmental activists who worry that terms demanded by the Obama administration will eliminate important public protections. Domestically, however, the deal's primary source of political tension is from a portion that could ban "Buy American" provisions -- a restriction that opponents emphasize would crimp U.S. jobs.
That seems like a pretty significant issue. After all, one of the supposed aims of the trade agreement is to remove such internal barriers to trade for all signatories. But in an election year, President Obama will hardly want to be painted as someone who is sacrificing American jobs.
Even assuming this major contradiction is resolved somehow, and the other Pacific Rim countries don't decide to abandon the treaty altogether, TPP is still fundamentally flawed for the same reason that ACTA is flawed: China is not a signatory. And the idea that once TPP (or ACTA) is in place, China will suddenly rush to sign up is extremely unlikely, for reasons that Arvind Subramanian, an expert in Chinese economic policy, explains:
"China would never agree to just fall in line with rules in the negotiations of which it has not participated," he writes in a policy brief.
However you look at it, TPP seems to be in serious trouble. Coupled with the withdrawal of SOPA, and the possible rejection of ACTA, this represents a string of setbacks for copyright and patent maximalism that a year ago would have seemed impossible.
If China did agree to participate in the talks, it would have huge bargaining leverage. Better to have multilateral talks where China's power is diluted by the addition of Brazil, Europe, India and others to the talks.
A third possibility is that China comes to view the TPP as a hostile effort to "encircle" China economically. "TPP could thus provoke China into playing the regionalism game in a way that could fundamentally fragment the trading system," he writes.

Something similar like this may have been done here before but since I can't remember, I thought it would be fun if you list your top five favorite cars of all time. Maybe it's a classic, or something new, or a combination of both. Value, while it is a consideration, should not be the driving factor, more so, just what you really like. Here are mine:
1. Z8 "of course"!
2. Mercedes Benz 300SL gullwing. The 300SL roadster also fits in here too.
3. Ferrari 275GTB4 NART spyder.
4. Aston Martin DB4 convertible.
5. Mercedes Benz 280SE 3.5 cabriolet.
Looks like other than the Z8, my list consists of only classic cars. One day I have no doubt the Z8 will be considered a classic.

New to this year's Mid-South Farm & Gin Show will be special seminars on cotton marketing and challenges and potential in biofuels.
The annual event, the largest indoor farm show in the South and the largest cotton trade show in the nation, will be held at the downtown Memphis Cook Convention Center March 2-3.
It is sponsored by the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, with Delta Farm Press as co-sponsor.
"These seminars will focus on two areas of keen interest for farmers — cotton marketing and energy from crops," says Tim Price, executive vice president of the ginner organization and show manager.
"We're pleased to have Mike Stevens, Mandeville, La., cotton specialist for the commodity division of Swiss Financial Services and a cotton broker for nearly 40 years, to conduct the seminar on cotton marketing strategies.
"He's an excellent teacher and can help farmers to better understand markets and how they relate to farm-level marketing."
Steven's seminar will be at 10:30 a.m., Friday, March 2.
The seminar on the outlook, challenges, and potential for energy from agriculture will be Saturday, March 3, at 1 p.m.
"Congressman Mike Ross, Ark.-D, a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, will discuss legislation he is sponsoring and the overall outlook for biofuels as the nation moves toward greater production of alternative energies," Price notes.
Joining him will be James K. Allwood, senior vice president and leader of Informa Economics Energy Services, a Memphis firm that provides comprehensive commodity consulting and risk management services in energy and renewable fuels.
Representatives of state agencies, energy distribution companies, and farmers will also participate.
Other informational discussions in the annual Ag Update sessions that are part of the show will include:
Friday, March 2, 8:30 a.m. — A discussion of cotton issues and legislation by John Pucheu, Arizona producer and the new chairman of the National Cotton Council; the outlook for rice by Carl Brothers, senior vice president of Riceland Foods; and the market outlook for U.S. and world cotton by Joe Nicosia, CEO of Allenberg Cotton Co.
Saturday, March 3, 8:30 a.m. — Richard Brock, president of Brock Associates, will conduct a session on the grains market outlook, marketing strategies, and projections for 2007.
"With the special seminars and the Ag Update sessions, Mid-South growers will have an opportunity to get the latest information on these hot-button issues," Price says.
This year's show will feature more than 400 exhibits in more than 200,000 square feet of convention center space.
"This show, coming just prior to the spring planting season, gives growers a broad showcase of products, technologies, and services that will have an impact on their operations," Price says. "I don't think I've seen such a large array of new products as will be featured at this year's show."
Topping the list will be the much-awaited display of the production model of Case IH's new cotton picker with an onboard module builder.
"Anyone who may not have been to the show for a year or so is really going to be surprised at all the new things that are available," Price says.
Admission to the show and the seminars are free, but registration is required for admittance to the exhibit halls.
In addition to the seminars and Ag Update sessions, the annual meeting of the Southern Cotton Ginners Association, to be held Thursday, March 1, at 1:30 p.m., at the Peabody Hotel, will feature discussions on cotton quality and cottonseed issues.
Speakers will include Van Murphy, president of the National Cotton Ginners Association; Vikki Martin, associate director of fiber quality for Cotton Incorporated; Tommy Valco, Agricultural Research Service director of Cotton Technology Transfer and Education; Richard Byler, research leader of USDA's Cotton Ginning Research Laboratory at Stoneville, Miss.; and Nashville, Tenn., attorney John W. Lewis, will discuss legal issues related to cottonseed.
Anyone interested in hearing these discussions is welcome to attend.
Further information on the show may be obtained at the association's Web site: http://www.southerncottonginners.org.

Comp Cams High Energy Lifters AMC, Chrysler/Dodge 273-360, 383-440
Part #: 822-16
List Price: $189.18
Our Price: $85.99
You Save: $103.19
Availability: In Stock
Comp Cams AMC V8's and Chrysler/Dodge 273 -360, 383 - 440ci (68-present) V8's High Energy Hydraulic Lifters. Not all hydraulic lifters are created equal! The use of High Energy Hydraulic Lifters give you advantages not found in other brands of lifters.
Comps lifters have a patented constant orifice metering valve that precisely meters oil to the rocker arms. Continuous contact between the metering valve and the precisely coined bottom surface of the pushrod seat is maintained throughout the engine's rpm range, therefore eliminating excessive oiling at high speeds.
The pushrod seat is made of a special powdered metal iron alloy and heat-treated for strength and wear resistance.
COMP Cams High Energy Hydraulic Lifters are produced with a longer piston than conventional hydraulic lifters. The extra length is made possible from a counter-bored pushrod seat position. The longer piston is produced with through-hardened steel that provides more load bearing surface and increased lifter longevity.
High Energy Lifters have a lightweight check valve disc that allows for quicker response. This results in increases in engine speed before valve float. This check valve also maintains added control at all engine speeds and loads. Increases in engine speed can be attributed to this quicker response check valve.

Armed man robs Stratford motel
STRATFORD -- An armed man pointed a gun at a motel clerk early Wednesday morning, and fled with $600, police said.
Security camera footage shows a man dressed all in black enter the Stratford Hotel at 225 Lordship Boulevard shortly before 4 a.m. and point a long gun at the clerk, said Lt. Frank Eannotti, the police spokesman.
The robber gave the clerk a white plastic bag and demanded that cash be put into it. He got about $600, Eannotti said. The suspect then fled on foot out a side door and headed east. No shots were fired and there were no injuries.
The incident remains under investigation and anyone with information is asked to call the Stratford Police Department at 203-385-4119.

Health Blog Helper is Born
Happy Monday! I'm super excited to announce the launch of my new blog, one that went from conception to execution in a single weekend! The blog is called Health Blog Helper, and it's all about stuff that we as health bloggers can do to make our blogs better.
In studying blogs in other niches, I've noticed that we have a lot to learn from them. I've been dying to start sharing what I've learned, especially about making our blogs more visible to search engines, something I've had incredible results with. But this type of information just doesn't have a place on No Meat Athlete, since many readers aren't bloggers. Solution: Health Blog Helper!
Non-bloggers: I may mention Health Blog Helper a few times here as it's getting off the ground, but I'll keep it to a minimum. Mostly, you'll get the same old NMA that you've grown to love/tolerate.
Lentil Tacos
Erin and I have felt really busy recently. Kind of funny, since you wouldn't think a grad student would be too busy during the summer. But with running, blogging, visitors, and the news of Erin's pregnancy, things have felt like a whirlwind for the past few weeks. And unfortunately, this has come at the expense of cooking. Summers are usually the time when I try out any and all kinds of new recipes, but over the past few weeks we've been eating out a lot and cooking some old favorites that we know are quick and reliable.
This weekend, though, we decided we've had enough. It's time to start cooking again. With school starting up for me this week, we need to get back to diligently planning meals, because take-out pizza and veggie wraps aren't going to cut it.
Last night we made something we've been meaning to try for a while, the lentil tacos that Sarah from Running to Slow Things Down guest-posted about back in July. In my comment on Sarah's guest post, I even wrote that this would be the first lentil recipe I'd try. (It wasn't, Snobby Joes was.) So lentil tacos were a long time coming.
Erin and I used to love taco night before we became vegetarian. But their slow progression from ground beef to turkey to TVP had really taken a lot of the ole! out of taco night. I thought the TVP tacos were good when we had them, but since we haven't made them much since, I must not have liked them as much as I thought. Plus, the fact that TVP is so processed is kind of a turn-off. But the lentil tacos have breathed new life into taco night.
Let me tell you, mis amigos, these things were awesome! Erin went with the hard tacos, I chose soft corn tortillas. The lentil mixture had a unique sweetness to it, owing to the chopped raisins that were simmered with the lentils.
Two other great things about this recipe: First, the seasoning is just a combination of chili powder and cumin. So no more of those store-bought packets with who-knows-what preservatives and artificial flavorings. Second, lentil beans are a whole food (with lots of protein, if that's your concern), so these vegetarian tacos don't feel fake at all. Hey, people eat bean burritos all the time, right? So lentil tacos aren't nearly the stretch that they might seem. And since Erin and I were told that our baby is roughly the size of a lentil bean, they hold a special place in my heart at the moment! Though I guess eating them in tacos makes that thought a little weird…
Moving on. If you try this recipe, you'll probably need a lot more liquid (either veggie stock or water) than the one cup that the recipe calls for. We did.
Five Weeks Left
I'm in a strange state of denial about the Wineglass Marathon being scantly more than a month away. Seeing as it will be my sixth full marathon, there's really no good reason for any nervousness. But I suspect that it's because it will be the first time that I truly feel I have a decent shot at qualifying for Boston, my singular goal for my entire running life. In the past, I've gone to bed the night before marathons thinking "I don't expect to qualify tomorrow, but I guess there's always a chance." This time it will be different. Throughout this entire training program, I've expected to qualify. Anything less, much as I hate to say it, will be a disappointment. And I think it's that thought that's hard to face.
The good news is that my training is going really well. I hit the paces I wanted to on my track and tempo runs this week, and my second-to-last 20-miler is tomorrow. As far as I can tell, I'm injury free. I've even had some success in dealing with that nasty blister of mine, using Blister Shield, foam pre-wrap, and sports tape.
So things are good, but the great big shadow of the marathon looming on the horizon is just a little bit unnerving.

Most Saturday afternoons, Sue Fleming's family and friends know exactly where they can find her between 4 and 5 p.m. As leader of the Needham Interfaith Peace Initiative, she's typically on the town common in this suburb west of Boston, maintaining a peace vigil with a small group of like-minded residents.
For nearly an hour, in all kinds of weather, participants, including Mrs. Fleming's husband, Donald, hold hand-lettered signs bearing a variety of messages, hoping to catch the attention of pedestrians and passing motorists. Traffic is heavy as shoppers hurry to finish late-afternoon errands, dashing in and out of CVS and Harvey's Hardware across the street.
"Skillful diplomacy works," reads one sign. "War creates terrorism," states another. Other messages range from "End all torture" to "Do not bomb Iran," "Eliminate causes of terrorism," and "All nations are our neighbors."
Similar peace initiatives exist in other Boston suburbs – Arlington, Newton, and Milton, among them – and in cities and towns stretching from Chatham, N.Y., to Fort Walton Beach, Fla., and from Stamford, Conn., to Seattle. Not all groups stage vigils. Some hold public events with invited speakers.
"There are lots of groups out there," says Mrs. Fleming. "They've sprung up like mushrooms."
Yet she and other activists regard their work as an underreported, sometimes even unreported, story. Some fault the media for not taking them seriously enough. Either newspapers don't cover events, Mrs. Fleming says, or if they do, they run a black-and-white photo and bury the story in the back of the paper. "They don't realize how passionate those of us who participate are and how important our message is."
She traces the beginning of these local peace vigils to the fall of 2002, before the Iraq war began. "At that time, everybody thought if they got out on the streets, they could stop the war," Mrs. Fleming says. "We had lots and lots of people."
After the war started, the group continued to protest, although its numbers dwindled. "A lot of people passing by were very dismissive of us, to put it nicely," she says. "They thought we were traitors. They yelled obscenities or would rush by in their pickup trucks and scream at us."
Over the years, pedestrians have stopped to argue with the group. Others come by to thank them for doing this. These days most comments they receive are positive, Mrs. Fleming finds.
Mr. Fleming, shifting from foot to foot against the damp cold, adds, "In the last few months, people seem friendlier."
Many in this group are middle-age and beyond, although a young father with a 3-year-old son sometimes joins them on the common.
One regular participant, Elise Boulding, describes herself as "a peace activist all my life." A Quaker, she taught peace studies at various universities, including Dartmouth in Hanover, N.H., and the University of Michigan. She was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.
Andrew Bunie, a retired teacher, holds a sign reading "Blessed are the peacemakers."
But even committed peacemakers find themselves tested. A year ago, on a bleak day when the sky was gray and threatening, the Needham participants stood on their little plot of borrowed land in the center of town, cold and discouraged. "We wondered if what we did had any impact at all," Mrs. Fleming recalls.
Then a waiter from Masala Art, an Indian restaurant across the street, approached with a smile and an unexpected gift: He wanted to bring them tea and coffee. "He told us, 'You don't realize how much we appreciate seeing you here every week,' " Mrs. Fleming says. "It cheered us up enormously. We were witnessing to more people than we realized."
Today, as a hedge against the cold, another regular, Chip Wilder, has brought a thermos of hot chocolate for everyone. Two battery-operated candles on a card table add a touch of postholiday cheer in the wintry darkness.
Calling this a peace and justice movement, Mrs. Fleming adds, "It's almost a vigil against violence. There's so much violence in our culture. Kids see it all the time on television. It's very upsetting."
For some of us who have passed the vigil-keepers many times in the past five years, their presence serves a purpose that goes beyond their specific cause. Their constancy and steadfast devotion raise humbling questions for the rest of us, such as: What cause do I believe in fervently? And what am I doing to support and promote it?
At 4:45 p.m., members of the group put down their signs, form a circle, and join hands. After a moment of silence, Mrs. Fleming says, "Peace be with us." The vigil is over. They collect their signs, say goodbye, and head to their cars, eager for the comforting warmth of home.
Explaining that they are here for the long run, Mrs. Fleming offers a comment that could apply to every worthy cause. "A few people can make a difference," she says, "and we intend to keep doing it."

Title of Book-Remember When...Baby Boomer Memories of Days Gone By
When my friends and I began to turn 50 in 2007, I searched high and low for the perfect book for all of us so we could take a walk down memory lane and reminisce about the good old days. The results… there were none to be found. Yes there were books about the history of our era, but there weren't any books that really tell the story about how wonderful it was to grow up during the baby boomer years. Memories of the past include: the rotary phone, the milkman, the 4:30 movie, the weekly reader, catching lightning bugs, the transistor radio, Dark Shadows, Romper Room, The Worlds Fair, S and H Green Stamps, The Automat, Gas lines, P.F. Fliers, Jiffy Pop... The list goes on and on! I receive constant emails of people reminancing about memories of the past, and I started to write down my memories which when finished, I had a book of 151 pages. Now I am searching for the perfect cover to I can promote this book and help others share in parallel memories.
I also wrote a book on the college admission process called: A Parent Student Guide to the College Admission Process which is self published and on the Amazon and Barnes and Noble Website. You can google the title to understand what type of cover I used for that project.
There are over seventy six million baby boomers in the United States. By the year 2014, the last of the baby boomers will be turning 50 years old. This is my target audience. Aside from baby boomers, I look at this book as a coffee table book, a novelty gift, or a book for special birthdays. As I said earlier, there are many books about the history , but there are no books about what we did as children during this era.
I am open to all ideas. Below are just some suggestions.
Retro cover (an example of background ideas attached)
Ideas can be a:
1. 50's-60's TV set with the subtitle of the book inside.
2. A drive in movie theater sign with title inside and cars from the 60's, 70's era
3. A man sleeping in hammock or chair with a bubble over his head with icons from the baby boomer era.
The font should be retro.
Attached is just a sample of the background I am referring to when I talk about it being retro from that era. Ignore the picture. I am open to any and all ideas for an eye catching cover.
These are the dimensions for the book cover from the self publishing co:
1.file must be pdf, jpg, jif, or png
2.spine width 20.51 postscript points wide (0.285") (85px)
3.Spine begins 621 postscript points (8.63) (2588px) from the left
4.Total cover width: 1262.51 x 810 postscript points (17.53 x 11.25") (5260 px X 3375px)
5.resolution should be set to 300 dpi.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ABOVE MEANS, HOPE YOU DO. thanks
You can use cartoons or anything you feel seems fit.

A new report says 70% of students attending Virginia's four-year public colleges and universities graduate within six years.
The report says only Delaware has a higher graduation rate with 73 percent.
The report was released by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. It's based on the group of students who began attending college in 2007.
According to the report, Christopher Newport University's graduation rate increased from 59 percent to 79 percent over the last eight years. Graduation rates at George Mason and Virginia Commonwealth universities increased by 10 percent points each during the same period.
Student debt increased along with graduation rates. The report says the percentage of graduates with bachelor degrees who have student debt rose from 53 percent in 2007-2008 to 57 percent in 2011-2012.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler and project partners broke ground today for the Active Living Center at 21st and "Q" streets in Union Plaza. The $1.4 million center will be home to Jayne Snyder Trails Center, the Community Health Endowment (CHE), a public meeting space and a future trail-related business. Construction will begin immediately, and the 6,500-square-foot facility is scheduled to open in late summer 2012.
The project is being financed by the partners, including $250,000 in community donations secured by the Great Plains Trails Network (GPTN). The Cleaner Greener Lincoln initiative is providing $254,000 in funds from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant funds to build an energy efficient facility.
"The facility that will be built at this spot will be a monument to the partnerships we have built to make Lincoln the healthiest community in the nation," said Mayor Beutler. "It also will serve as a reminder of what one dedicated leader like Jayne Snyder can accomplish with sacrifice, hard work and a passion for both fitness and for our City's future."
The City Council passed a resolution in February to name the trail center after current Council member Snyder for her involvement "...in every major trail development project over the past 20 years." Snyder was on the first GPTN board of directors and has served on the Nebraska Trails Foundation board and the Mayor's Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee. She also was a leader of the effort to acquire the MOPAC railroad right of way for trail development.
"Today marks the day that health and active living is officially planted in a highly visible way in the heart of our community," said Ed Wimes, Chair of the Board of Trustees of CHE. "We are pleased to share this space with a trails center that will honor the work, leadership and dedication of Jayne Snyder. The Active Living Center is an important investment in our community's future."
"A trails center where residents and visitors can gather, socialize and get information about Lincoln's trail system has long been a vision of the Great Plains Trails Network and trails enthusiasts," said Elaine Hammer of GPTN. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to play a significant role in making the Jayne Snyder Trails Center a reality, and want to express our sincere appreciation to the many donors who supported this fund-raising effort, including Assurity Life who provided a major leadership gift."
Energy efficient features in the new building will include Photovoltaic cells, LED Lighting and energy efficient windows. "These energy features will be central in upcoming educational programs to show the public the value of these cost-effective and environmentally friendly design and construction methods," said Milo Mumgaard, Cleaner Green Lincoln. "We want people to use the center and realize that energy sustainability is really this simple."
More information on the project is available at parks.lincoln.ne.gov.

Idling vehicles reported in Prospector
November 6, 2012
The Park City Police Department last week received at least two complaints that vehicles were left idling, something that is prohibited in the city under most circumstances.
Both of the reports were logged on Comstock Drive, but it was not clear from public police logs whether the people involved were the same in each of the two cases.
On Friday, Nov. 2 at 2:04 p.m., the police were told a neighbor had the engine running on a pickup truck. Public police logs did not list a block number and did not detail how long the engine might have been running. The police were told it was a recurring problem.
On Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 8:27 p.m., a report was filed from the 2300 block of Comstock Drive. The police were told a truck had been idling for between 15 and 30 minutes. The person who contacted the police also said there was an ongoing issue and the vehicle had been left idling three times a night.
The Park City Council in late 2010 enacted a law prohibiting idling a vehicle for longer than three minutes. There are a few exceptions, such as when it is very cold or very hot outside.

CrossFit Genesis
Our outstanding coaches are committed to helping everyone reach their fitness goals in an environment that is both supportive and competitive. Through short, intense workouts that vary daily, CrossFit Genesis helps people achieve fitness that will improves their everyday life and makes them capable of things they never thought possible. We combine gymnastics, olympic weightlifting, and advanced metabolic conditioning, into an endless variety of workouts. Our small-group sessions are positive, fast-paced, and fun.
Our target demographic ranges from police officers and firefighters to soccer moms and grandmothers, young, old and everywhere in between. They all want to get in the best shape of their lives and aren't afraid to work hard and learn new things to get there. The people who gravitate most naturally to our program are former athletes (high school or beyond) or people who already workout, but we cultivate the inner athlete in everyone and some of our most dedicated members have little/no prior athletic history.
We're looking for a logo that can be extended and leveraged to brand everything we do: website, marketing material, physical signage, apparel, documents, etc.
We're coaches, not artists, so we want your creativity and expertise! Our requirements are that the word "CrossFit" figure prominently in the design -- it's a brand name with growing recognition, so it must be easily legible when we put our logo on shirts and signs. Our workouts can be intimidating to people, so our logo shouldn't be -- no skulls or Affliction style designs please. We'd like a color design, but it must lend itself to black-and-white for things like document headers and simpler apparel designs.
Please don't give us a variation on a design that someone else has already submitted. The more we see, the better idea we'll have of the direction we'd like to go. Therefore, we promise the following:
1. We will be monitoring and updating the contest at a minimum of 2 times per day.
2. We will provide useful feedback on every entry that is submitted.
3. We will work with you to refine your design and answer all questions promptly.
4. We will pick a winner within 24 hours of the end of the contest.
File formats required: Layered .ai files (RGB and CMYK)
UPDATE: As we've progressed through the design process and seen some examples, we've added some requirements. Any symbol or icon that reflects the human form should be fairly abstract, such as the Olympic pictograms:
The style does not have to reflect any of these, however -- we'd just like them to be at least this abstract.
The position of human figures should ideally be deadlifting or squatting. Examples of these movements are:
We're also very open to symbols that are completely abstract or do not have a human form.
Please do NOT include barbells, dumbells, kettlebells, or any other piece of equipment. We do not feel these accurately reflect the breadth of our program.

Quiz: Do You Have What It Takes to Be a Great Leader?
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 03-08-2011 Print
So what makes you think you deserve to be a leader, anyway? Your educational background alone won't inspire your IT teams. Nor will your job title, or your lofty office digs.

Part of a book series, HBR's 10 Must Reads on Leadership (Harvard Business Review Press/Available now), contains 10 extensive examinations of the topic by noted experts, including Daniel Goleman, Peter Drucker, Jim Collins and Deborah Ancona. In one section -- entitled "Why Should Anyone Be Led by You?" -- authors Robert Goffee and Gareth Jones present prototypes of successful leadership styles, as well as common myths versus realities. We challenge you to test your own command of leadership traits with this quiz. Questions and answers are based on information in Goffee and Jones' article:

WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — The mother of a 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl, who was shot to death in an apparent home invasion attempt, is now awaiting trial on charges that she sold crack cocaine to an undercover informant.
SEE ALSO: Relisha Rudd Update: Body In D.C. Park Identified as Murder Suspect's
But police in the town of Washington, approximately 20 miles from Pittsburgh, stopped short of saying that has any connection to the gunfire that killed little Taniyah Thomas before dawn Monday.
The girl was walking from her bedroom to her mother's room when a shot fired through their apartment door struck her in the head just before 4 a.m. Monday morning.
Police said the girl's mother, 36-year-old Shantye Brown, had previously been arrested on the drug charges in January. Her live-in boyfriend, 26-year-old Robert Lester, also has drug-related convictions in 2011 and 2013.
Police have questioned the couple, but have yet to name or charge any suspects in the girl's shooting.
"They took her life away. I don't understand it," said the girl's grandfather, Sherman Brown to WPXI. "I just took her last Wednesday to her cheerleading and she was supposed to go tomorrow to Pittsburgh for a competition. Now she can't go."
Thomas was a fourth grade cheerleader at Washington Park School.
"You don't shoot kids. You don't mess with young kids. Why? They never did anything you," said Brown.
No arrests have been made. Police are asking for help with finding the gunman.

When I first discovered Catholic websites — a few years after converting — it was like a fire was ignited underneath me.
It didn't take me long after that to jump in with both hands on my keyboard. I started blogging and, not long after, I began contributing to other sites. I found myself devouring the wisdom and insight, the humor and sorrow, and, best of all, the window into other Catholics' lives. Thanks to the Catholic Internet, the fact that I literally live in the middle of a cornfield didn't mean I was the only Catholic around.
Thanks to the Catholic world online, I could find other Catholics who not only shared my state in life, but also my enthusiasm for the Faith. It became a special kind of community.
Chances are you're no stranger to the Internet and that you have some favorite Catholic sites, too. I've found, though, through my work both locally in our small parish — and through nationally speaking and writing — that many Catholics just don't know what's out there. The world of Catholic content on the Internet is an ocean, not a stream, and like the ocean, it has many hidden depths.
So let's dive in, shall we?

Chavez in control to cap breakout spring
SAN FRANCISCO -- It's still Spring Training, but any time you can hold an MLB lineup hitless for a handful of innings, you're having a good night.
That was the case for Oakland starter Jesse Chavez on Friday, as he held the Giants without a hit for the first 5 1/3 innings in a 4-1 victory for the A's.View Full Game Coverage
SAN FRANCISCO -- It's still Spring Training, but any time you can hold an MLB lineup hitless for a handful of innings, you're having a good night.
That was the case for Oakland starter Jesse Chavez on Friday, as he held the Giants without a hit for the first 5 1/3 innings in a 4-1 victory for the A's.View Full Game Coverage
"Wasn't too bad," Chavez told reporters after his stellar start. "It was a good one to finish the spring off and go into the season and build off of that one."
It was a nice exclamation mark for what's been a superb spring for Chavez, who will take over a spot in the starting rotation after recent injuries to Jarrod Parker (Tommy John surgery) and A.J. Griffin (elbow soreness). Behind a solid array of pitches that included a deceiving changeup, Chavez struck out five and allowed just three baserunners. He walked one, hit a batter and allowed just one hit -- a double by Angel Pagan, the last batter Chavez faced.
In fact, Chavez might have been too efficient for manager Bob Melvin's taste, as he needed just 66 pitches to get through the outing. Melvin planned on getting four pitchers in the game, so he was somewhat relieved to see Pagan break up the no-hitter.
"I don't normally take out guys of potential no-hitters," Melvin said. "At the time, I was almost glad that Pagan got the hit, to tell you the truth. But it was impressive. He was on it all night."
After he was lifted, Chavez trotted down to the bullpen to throw 12 more pitches to raise his pitch count.
The next time Chavez gets tuned up, it will be for his third career start in his seventh Major League season, as he made two starts for the Royals in 2012. The 30-year-old, now pitching for his fifth team since 2008, said he's looking forward to the opportunity.
Granted, he might have some butterflies in his stomach while he's warming up in the bullpen at O.Co Coliseum in Oakland next week.
"It'll be different," Chavez said. "It'll be a lot of adrenaline, a lot of excitement. Think it's something that I'll have to calm down."
Meanwhile, Giants starter Tim Lincecum had a night he'd like to forget. On his final pitch of the night, Lincecum was drilled on the left leg by a Daric Barton comebacker before being helped off the field by a couple of trainers.
The Giants announced that Lincecum had a left knee contusion and that X-rays didn't reveal a fracture, which is a relief for the Giants, considering the shot he took.
"Not too worried," Lincecum told reporters after leaving the game. "I knew it hit me in a relatively good spot. It didn't hit me in the front of the kneecap."
Lincecum gave up one earned run in four innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out four.
He retired the first six batters he faced before John Jaso drilled a home run to right field to lead off the third inning. The score stayed at 1-0 until the until the sixth, when Sam Fuld ripped a triple down the right-field line to clear the bases and give Oakland a four-run lead.
Up next: Right-hander Dan Straily is set to take the mound Saturday for Oakland's final exhibition tuneup against the Giants. The 25-year-old righty has secured a spot in the rotation for the regular season and will be looking to improve upon his spring marks in four starts, a 4.73 ERA and 1.80 WHIP. Watch the game at 1:05 p.m. PT on a free offering of MLB.TV.

JASD meets PSSA goals
JOHNSONBURG – Students of the Johnsonburg Area School District have met PSSA [Pennsylvania School System of Assessment] standards for Adequate Yearly Progress [AYP] for the 2011-2012 school year.Elementary school principal Jennifer Hobbs presented the students' scores during the August board of directors meeting.In math, elementary students in grades 3 through 6 scored an 86.4 percent proficiency out of a targeted 78 percent."Our students did a real good job of maintaining that and reaching the proficiency level that has been set forth by the state in the area of mathematics," Hobbs said.In reading, students scored a 76 percent out of a targeted 81 percent. According to Hobbs, even though the students did not score an 81 they qualified for the state criteria AYP due to a confidence interval."There are about seven different ways they calculate AYP so even though we didn't outright make the 81 percent proficiency with the confidence interval being one of the ways to meet AYP, we did meet it," Hobbs saidHobbs noted that students in kindergarten through sixth grade began a new reading series in the 2011-2012 school year."If you speak to anyone that has been involved with a new series, especially a reading series, oftentimes when a reading series is implemented you will see a dip in scores just because there is that transition year," Hobbs said. "The transition that we made was a big jump for both our students and faculty."Hobbs said the series was aligned to the new Common Core standards."I am very pleased to see that the scores stayed the same because oftentimes you will see a dip within the first couple years of implementation until everyone becomes familiar with the series and materials," Hobbs said. "On both reading and math we did make adequate yearly progress and I am proud of our students and staff for how hard they worked to achieve this goal."Pick up a copy of the Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Episcopalians in Eastern North Carolina will soon be choosing a new bishop.
Episcopalians in Eastern North Carolina will soon be choosing a new bishop.
The Rt. Rev. Clifton Daniel III, bishop of the Episcopal Church�s East Carolina diocese since 1997, resigned Friday to become bishop provisional of the diocese of Pennsylvania. His resignation becomes effective Feb. 28.
�I do love and treasure our Diocese of East Carolina and count it as a privilege to serve as your bishop for these years,� Daniels said in a statement posted Friday at the diocese�s website. �I have confidence in the leadership of the standing committee going forward and in the skills and abilities of a wonderful and dedicated staff at Diocesan House.�
Since the diocese has no coadjutor, or deputy bishop with the right of succession, Daniel�s vacancy will be filled by a church election. In the interim, a six-member standing committee of Episcopal priests and lay members will handle the diocese�s day-to-day affairs. Among the members of this standing committee is Jane Martin of Wilmington, a member of St. James Parish.
The diocese will form a search committee to screen candidates, said the Rev. Katherine Powell of Wilmington�s Episcopal Church of the Servant, who also sits on the diocese�s executive council. A new bishop will then be chosen by an assembly of priests and lay delegates from Episcopal parishes from across the eastern half of North Carolina.
�This will be a somewhat long process,� Powell said.
The seventh Episcopal bishop of East Carolina, Daniel was born in Goldsboro in 1947, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1969 and earned a master of divinity degree in 1972 from Virginia Theological Seminary. He was ordained a priest in 1973 by former Bishop Hunley A. Elebash and served parishes in Kinston, Ahoskie, Dayton, Ohio, and Bristol, R.I., before being elected bishop coadjutor of East Carolina in 1996. He became full bishop the following year.
In Pennsylvania, Daniel will succeed Bishop Charles E. Bennison Jr., who is retiring. The diocese of Pennsylvania covers the city of Philadelphia and four surrounding counties, with more than 22,000 members and 155 congregations.
Under canon (church) law, a bishop provisional is like an interim bishop, said Joan Geiszler Ludlum of Wilmington, the chancellor (legal adviser) to the diocese of East Carolina. Daniel will serve an unspecified period of time until a permanent bishop is elected. The Rev. Ledlie I. Laughlin, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania diocese, said in a statement that Daniel�s tenure will likely be about two years.
In recent years, the Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania has faced considerable controversy, as some parishes have sought to leave the denomination, objecting to what they see as its increasingly liberal stances. Daniel is expected to introduce what the Episcopal Church terms a �new mission strategy� in an effort to reconcile church factions and mediate differences, Ludlum said.
�He will be the perfect person to fill this role,� she added.

The Eureka Moment: Challenges
By Jeremy Irish,
To me, the core geocaching experience is the "eureka moment" when finding a cache.
The word, Eureka, comes from the ancient Greek εὕρηκα heúrēka, meaning "I have found it." I love this word. It represents that elated feeling of discovery when you move a few leaves to discover that container in the woods, or reaching under a park bench to extract a magnetic key holder. It is a sense of accomplishment and marks the end of a successful journey.
Finding a geocache is fun and rewarding, but I've always been frustrated of the limitations of a geocache. As a physical object, some places are inappropriate for placing a cache. They can't be hidden close to each other to reduce confusion, many locations have to be regulated by land managers, and some locations just can't support a hidden container. But there are lots of cool and interesting eureka moments in the world. So how can we get people there without a cache?
We tried this before. Our early attempt was to support virtual caches, which weren't geocaches at all but unique locations on the world for people to discover. The best of those virtuals still exist today as grandfathered listings, but there was a time when virtuals were hard to qualify. The biggest reason was that we were applying the guidelines of geocaches to virtuals, which required a reviewer to publish them. No one could determine what the subjective threshold for what was a virtual was and wasn't, so the constant angst resulted in the retiring of virtuals. For years we have focused on the core game of geocaching, but have always wanted to find a way to bring virtuals back.
Spring forward to 2010 when we added the feedback section of our web site. It became quickly apparent that the community wanted virtuals back as much as we did. However, knowing the history of virtuals, we couldn't just flip a switch and have the same process again. So we sat in a room and tried to distill the idea of virtuals into one sentence. The result was "go somewhere and do something." This evolved into Geocaching Challenges.
Find a location of interest and challenge someone to take a photo or complete some kind of task unique to that location. Make it fun! Take a picture of yourself holding up the Tower of Pisa. Pull statue Lenin's finger in Fremont (Seattle). We're looking for the community to define the best challenges in the world.
We also know in the early days that there won't be many Challenges, so we'll be issuing Worldwide challenges daily. For those old timers, these challenges will be like the old Locationless caches. For example, we'll challenge you to take a picture of yourself on a boat, kissing a frog, or dressed like a pirate. We'll be using our feedback site as a way for the community to suggest Worldwide Challenges.
What are the guidelines for issuing a challenge? Unlike caches, there aren't any official guidelines. Instead, you can rate challenges with thumbs up or thumbs down, and there are reporting tools available in the case that a challenge is inappropriate or unavailable. We'll be tweaking these tools and introducing new ones as the activity grows, to ensure that the community can collectively decide what is appropriate, and what isn't. For example, there is no 520' guideline and Challenges won't be blocked from being issued at Disney World, or even a pub.
There will be some restrictions at the start. To reduce the growth during the early days, only Premium Members can submit challenges. Premium Members will be limited to creating a Challenge once every 24 hours. Our hope is that we'll be able to open this up further once we tweak our system to address the feedback we get from the community.
We're also releasing a whole new set of mobile applications for Challenges, on the iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 7. We expect that this new activity will be primarily accessed through these free applications, though we'll continue to support GPS devices.
I'm very excited about Challenges, and look forward to seeing what the community can do with the new concept. I also look forward to constructive feedback on how to improve the activity and make it a part of the core geocaching experience.
