Minnesota State, which was idle, is in 11th place in the standings. The Mavericks can't fall to 12th but they could move up to 10th or even (if my math is correct) ninth with a sweep over North Dakota this weekend and some losses by Bemidji State and Wisconsin, who play at Alaska Anchorage and Minnesota, respectively, this weekend.
If MSU stays in 11th, which appears to be the likeliest scenario, it will go to Minnesota Duluth or Minnesota for the first round of the WCHA playoffs.
Here's how the league standings and schedule look heading into the final weekend:
1. Minnesota 38 points (vs. Wisconsin)
2. Minnesota Duluth 36 (at St. Cloud State)
3. Denver 32 (at Nebraska Omaha)
4. North Dakota 29 (vs. Minnesota State)
5. T-Colorado College 27 (vs. Michigan Tech)
5. T-Nebraska Omaha 27 (vs. Denver)
7. Michigan Tech 26 (at Colorado College)
8. St. Cloud State 25 (vs. Minnesota Duluth)
9. Wisconsin 22 (at Minnesota)
10. Bemidji State 21 (at Alaska Anchorage)
11. Minnesota State 18 (at North Dakota)
12. Alaska Anchorage 11 (vs. Bemidji State)
So what else did I miss over vacation time?
Well, the MSU women's team had its season come to an end with a playoff sweep at Wisconsin. The top-ranked Badgers beat the Mavericks 7-0 and 7-0. Minnesota State closed out the season on a 15-game winless streak (0-14-1). On Friday, coach Eric Means was not on the bench, with the only explanation coming from a statement in a WCHA press release:
"After having some time to think about the events that occurred during our game at the University of Minnesota Duluth on February 17, I have decided to voluntarily step away from the bench for our first play-off game versus the University of Wisconsin to reflect more deeply about my actions last Friday. And although I have not been suspended by the league, I am confident that this time away from the game will provide the opportunity to consider how this situation might have been handled differently. I will have no further comments regarding this issue."At the end of the game in question (a 4-1 loss at Duluth), MSU's Lauren Smith was called for two major penalties, getting a game misconduct and a game disqualification as well. Afterwards, there was an apparent verbal confrontation between Means and Duluth coach Shannon Miller.
Meanwhile, over at Gustavus Adolphus, the men's team there not only advanced to the MIAC championship game with a 3-1 victory over St. John's on Saturday, but it will host the title game this weekend, thanks to St. Olaf's stunning upset of St. Thomas. The Gusties and the Oles will play at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday at the Don Roberts Ice Rink.
The Gustavus women will begin MIAC tournament play on Thursday night against the winner of Tuesday's game between Bethel and St. Olaf. If the Gusties win, they will host either St. Thomas or Concordia in the championship game on Saturday. The Gusties won the MIAC regular-season title.

Roasted Beet Quinoa
So….What do you think? Like the new digs? Because I sure do! The amazingly talented (and beautiful!) Lindsay from Love and Olive Oil is to thank for the new look. She patiently answered all my questions, put up with all of my changes, and didn't even laugh at how dumb/random my password is to log into everything. She also hooked me up with some cool new features! If you go to the side where it says Categories or if you Search anything, each post will come up with a little description and a photo! So helpful when you are looking for ideas or recipes for a special ingredient.
In honor of the big change around these parts, I decided I would step out of my comfort zone as well. Quinoa. I may be one of the last foodies to try this magical little chenopod (or seed, depending on who you ask). I was pretty nervous to try it, main reason being…it's not cheap. It is about $5 for one small bag of Quinoa…which is kind of steep when you are unsure if you are going to like something. But turns out, a little goes a long way, so that $5 bag has lasted me a few dinners now. Yes, you read that right, …a few dinners now. Which means, I LOVE QUINOA! Let's all say it together, YUM! Of the three recipes I have tried, this has been my absolute favorite. I am a huge fan of beets and think they really add a delicious earthy-ness to this meal. And the goat cheese helps to really bring the flavors all together. I liked this best served warm, but it is also good cold. If you have not tried Quinoa, I think this is the perfect way to jump in.
Roasted Beet Quinoa
3 large beets, washed and roots trimmed
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups quinoa
4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
4 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
2 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons chives, minced
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
For the beets: Preheat the oven to 375. In a foil pouch (or in a baking dish you cover with foil – your choice), drizzle 1 tbsp. of olive oil over the beets. Wrap tightly with the foil and bake in the preheated oven until they're tender – pierce with the end of a sharp knife to test – which should take about 60 minutes. This is dependent on the size of your beets. Once tender, remove from oven and allow to cool. Peel & discard the skins and dice into 1/2″ – 1″ squares.
While the beets are roasting, you can cook the quinoa. Bring vegetable stock up to a boil. Add the quinoa, boil for 1-2 minutes, then turn heat down to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and allow to sit covered until ready to use.
To assemble the salad: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vinegar and the other 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the beets and toss to coat. Next, add the chopped chopped chives and the quinoa. Mix together and add the goat cheese. Mix gently to combine. Taste for salt level then season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper. Serve at room temperature. This will keep for a day or so but I advise bringing it up closer to room temperature from the fridge before serving.

Title: Nuclear Cooperation Agreement with Russia: Statutory Procedures for Congressional Consideration and Their Implementation
CRS report number: RL34541
Author(s): Richard S. Beth, Government and Finance Division
Date: November 26, 2008
- Abstract
- On May 13, 2008, President Bush submitted to Congress a proposed agreement for nuclear cooperation with the Russian Federation. On September 8, the President announced that he was rescinding his certification of the proposed U.S.-Russia nuclear cooperation agreement. This action, in effect, withdrew the proposed agreement from further congressional consideration for the foreseeable future Under the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), the text of such an agreement is to be submitted to the committees of jurisdiction for at least 30 days of consultation, and the agreement itself is then to be submitted to Congress for 60 days, during which the committees are to consider it and report recommendations. The AEA requires the President to state his approval of the agreement before the 60-day period begins, but he did so in his initial letter of submission, perhaps rendering moot the consultive purpose of the 30-day period.

Explore New Zealands national parks
New Zealand is known for its unspoiled nature and national parks. This article presents the three best hiking options in the most beautiful national parks.
1 / 6
With a total of 14 National Parks New Zealand offers a wide selection of unique walking trails and beautiful landscapes. Below you will find the three most popular routes in what in my opinion are the most beautiful national parks of New Zealand.
The three most popular hiking options:
3rd Place:
Abel Tasman Coast Track. This 51 km long hiking trail leads from the southern end of the Abel Tasman National Park to Wainui Bay, which is the northernmost point of the park. With the golden sandy beaches and the coastal forest, this trail offers a lot of variety of hiking experiences. The route runs mostly along the coast, and is therefore relatively flat. To walk the complete route you should schedule three to five days. However, there are also great options for beautiful day hikes or partly going by kayak. In Marahau there is the possibility to book a water taxi that takes you to a selected place of the park, then renting a tent or booking huts.
2nd Place:
Tongariro Alpine Crossing. This day hike is one of the ten most beautiful day hikes of the world and is considered the most beautiful in New Zealand. The Tongariro National Park is the oldest National Park in New Zealand and with its three active volcanic mountains offers an incredible landscape, including the highest volcano in New Zealand, Ruapehu. The 19.4 km long crossing of the Alps is sometimes very steep and the weather is often unpredictable but every meter of the track is scenic and rewarding.
1st Place:
Routeburn Track. Within Mount Aspiring National Park and Fiordland National Park there is a 32 km hiking trail, the Routeburn Track, which counts as one of the nine Great Walks according to the Department of Conservation. This hike can be done in two to three days, with numerous offers of good huts along the way. Not only can the pristine, powerful rain forest be admired on this track, but also the clear green rivers, sparkling mountain lakes, stunning waterfalls, cliffs and much more.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) is trying to protect the natural heritage of New Zealand and offers hikers information on hiking trails, cabins for multi-day hikes, the national parks itself and places to see.
A tour bus company that supports all these hikes is Flying Kiwi Adventure Tours, which in addition to these impressive hikes also offers access to many of the unique activities and landscapes of New Zealand.

At Twin Cities Reptiles, all manner of geckos, pythons, giant tortoises and assorted amphibians are stirring. But the mice are toast.
Like the reptiles they breed, the owners of the largest supplier of snakes and amphibious pets in the state consider themselves survivors. Two years of construction of the Central Corridor light-rail line has been tough, even crushing, on businesses along the 11-mile route. Having dealt with torn-up sidewalks and shuttered street entrances, retailers are hoping for a more robust new year.
"I think pretty much anything is going to be better than the last year," said Sara Szabo, manager of the St. Paul store. "The further (rail development) gets along, the better it's going to be. Last year was hard. We watched neighbor after neighbor fold shop and leave. Now, the majority of construction is done."
Officials at the Metropolitan Council see a silver lining.
The Met Council maintains that rather than hurt business prospects, the light-rail line has already helped seed more than $1.2 billion in development over the two-year construction period. Private projects such as the redevelopment of the Pioneer-Endicott and Rayette buildings in St. Paul's Lowertown are moving forward alongside public enterprises, including the recent openings of the Lofts at Farmers Market and the St. Paul Union Depot.
Eighteen residential and commercial-retail developments began construction or entered major planning along the line in 2012, according to the Central Corridor office. Eight of the developments are in St. Paul and 10 are in Minneapolis. Those 18 projects will offer nearly 2,300 housing units and more than 109,000 square feet of commercial and retail space.
"It's a pretty remarkable story about growth," said Met Council Chair Sue Haigh. "I think that what we're seeing is the rail line is attracting the market. Development is really around station areas. I think that it's very good news for these communities along the line — they'll have access to housing and jobs. I'm not sure you'll find another place in the metro region where you're going to see this type of investment."
Haigh said it will be easier than ever to get employees to employers in the major job centers of downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as the University of Minnesota, and to promote that benefit nationwide.
While buses offer route flexibility, the fixed nature of light-rail tracks drives home the concept of a permanent commercial corridor, she said. Trains board faster and will have some priority at traffic signals, and they operate in their own dedicated right-of-way, so they don't have to compete with cars.
"To have easy access, it really helps to make the region more cohesive and to market the region as a region," Haigh said.
In St. Paul, city, state and Met Council money has helped ensure that many of the new housing units remain affordable, with developments targeted to seniors, youth and workers. At University and Prior avenues, Portico is building Prior Crossing, which will offer 44 apartments for homeless teens and young adults.
Habitat for Humanity plans to move its headquarters across the street from the site. The Central Exchange, Brownstone and City Limits projects will also offer affordable housing.
And there are more projects to come, say city officials.
St. Paul is receiving a state grant to help fund a $52 million to $54 million city-owned ballpark for the St. Paul Saints and student and amateur teams next to the Central Corridor maintenance facility in Lowertown. Shortly before Christmas, the city received three competing bids. The goal is to have the ballpark done by 2015.
Proponents of the light-rail line hope the ballpark and other development will draw rail passengers, a boon to businesses along the route.
Szabo, manager at Twin Cities Reptiles, is "reserving judgment."
"I ask people who are really excited about the light rail and say it's going to do wonderful things if they take the bus now," she said. "We've got buses that go by every 15 minutes. And they say, 'No.' If you don't use public transit now, why is light rail going to change that? I just hope that I see people riding it."
A block from her store, the Edge Coffee House at University and Raymond avenues closed not long ago. The Caribe restaurant also closed, but Foxy Falafel opened. Sharrett's Liquors has sold alcohol since 1977, but the owners wondered whether they would make it another year after construction eliminated a parking lane on University Avenue. So far, they have.
"It seems to be a little better. People are complaining less, and they seem to be able to get to our store," said Edward Kline, a manager at Sharrett's. "The biggest thing has been the loss of parking along University Avenue."
Son Truong saw preconstruction work such as underground utility relocation unfold in Lowertown in the summer of 2009, a year after he opened his Senor Wong restaurant at Fourth and Robert streets.
Almost four years have passed, and work continues to complicate parking and traffic access, though much of it in recent months has been related to the city's Fourth Street improvement project.
Truong took a $20,000 "forgivable" "Ready For Rail" loan to survive, but it hasn't been enough.
"I lost that in one month alone," he said. "No one wants to come down to a street that's all torn up. It's hard to find parking. People can't even find us."
He hopes to remain open to see the first passengers board the light rail in 2014, but he's not sure his business will make it.
"For the first couple years, I was very optimistic, very for this. I still am," Truong said. "But construction is pushing me to the breaking point."
The Central Corridor office reports that since major light-rail construction began in March 2011, 86 businesses have opened along the 11-mile corridor, 70 have closed, 16 have relocated off the corridor, and 22 have relocated from one point along the corridor to another.
Met Council officials say they and groups such as the city of St. Paul and the Central Corridor Funders Collaborative have made a concerted effort to keep small businesses afloat during light-rail construction, which is 84 percent complete.
The city's Ready for Rail small-business loan program has lent more than $2.6 million to upward of 160 restaurants and retailers, according to city planners. The loans are "forgiven," or converted to grants, at a gradual rate, and the loan principal disappears entirely if the business remains open along the corridor for five years.
Through a marketing contract administered by the city, billboards, bus ads and a new print directory of Central Corridor businesses have rolled out alongside OntheGreenâ Line.com, a website dedicated to events and promotions along the future light-rail route.
Nevertheless, a coalition composed of the St. Paul Chapter of the NAACP, nonprofits and minority-owned businesses continue to call for better documenting of construction's impact on small shops.
In response to their federal lawsuit, the Met Council and the Federal Transit Administration have released the latest draft of a court-ordered analysis, or supplemental environmental-impact statement. The Met Council will host two public hearings next month to discuss the draft document, which could be finalized between April and June.
The Jan. 10 meetings are scheduled at 8 a.m. at Model Cities, 849 University Ave. W. in St. Paul and 6 p.m. at Goodwill/Easter Seals, 553 Fairview Ave. N. in St. Paul. Public comments will become part of the official record shared with the FTA. The document is at tinyurl.com/csfvcs5, and available at libraries along the Central Corridor, or Green Line.
Central Corridor officials said heavy light-rail construction ended this month with more than 10 miles of roads and sidewalks rebuilt and double track installed. Other than electrical work, all 18 stations are structurally ready.
Next year will be dedicated mostly to installing electrical substations and overhead wiring for the light-rail trains and then testing the actual train cars and training drivers.
"It's actually incredibly exciting to be at this point in the development," Haigh said. "I want to thank all of the people who live along and work along the line. We're 84 percent complete. Construction is going to be much less intrusive next year."

Naughty, naughty!
Yammer CEO David Sacks—who's reportedly selling his social-enterprise startup to Microsoft for more than $1 billion—invited HUNDREDS of guests to his huge 40th birthday party in Los Angeles this weekend.
Click here to see the leaks >
287 invites went out. 350 people showed up. And he expected them to all stay quiet.
Sacks runs what's been called the " Facebook for business"—but guests weren't supposed to use social media or photo-sharing services at all at the party, which also marked his upcoming fifth wedding anniversary.
The theme: "Let him eat cake." Costume shops from San Francisco to Los Angeles ran out of 18th-century French dresses and suits. Some guests had gowns custom-sewn for the occasion.
Despite this, they weren't supposed to discuss even the existence of the party, as Sarah Lacy, editor of the PandoDaily tech news site, discovered to her dismay.
Guests were uncomfortable with the publicity, Sacks told her in an email that Lacy received as she was in the security line at the airport heading to the party.
One guest said the party cost $1.4 million. We have no idea where he got that figure, but we can see why someone would guess a number in that ballpark. It was held at the $125 million Fleur de Lys mansion in Beverly Glen—one of the 10 most expensive homes in America. And Snoop Dogg was the entertainment.
If it really cost that much, it's about one-tenth of one percent of what Microsoft is reportedly going to pay for Sacks's company.
Luckily for you, some of the invitees broke the rules and let slip some glimpses of the party.
UPDATE: We originally reported that a thousand people had been invited. A source close to the matter subsequently provided us with the actual numbers. We also identified Nikhil "Ra" Sharma as an owner of Division Entertainment, as he states on his LinkedIn profile, but the company tells us that he is not an owner.

Below is the revised Q&A I have taken out references to codes and markup languages in the main sections of this Q&A. Because this is meant to act somewhat like an introduction to our area, I felt that it was important to include some mention of these in order to provide the reader with suggested next steps (those being to learn a little more about each of the standards mentioned). I discussed them briefly under "Further information." Thanks, Phil ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Questions & Answers: Initial considerations for international web sites Question What are some topics to consider when creating websites for an international audience? Background People from around the world can view your content on websites. Because much of what we find on the web is written with a specific demographic in mind, it is often the case that people outside of that demographic misunderstand what has actually been intended. The formatting and presentation of text has very specific regional and cultural requirements that need to be addressed if the content is to be properly understood. Answer A typical challenge is to ensure that characters display correctly for the end user. Web pages can easily accommodate English, Germanic, and Romance languages, but what happens when an occasional foreign word or name is used? In the past, a quick solution was to use an inline graphic to display the character. Another method was to copy and paste the desired character from another program into the web page. While the result might look correct for one user, there is no guarantee that every user will see the same text. There are many variables that might need to be considered, such as the font, operating system, browser software, etc. These concerns are becoming increasingly important as users move toward mobile and other non-standard browsing devices. As many languages read from right to left, the ability to include such content becomes an even greater challenge. In addition to identifying the proper characters, there also needs to be a method of properly handling this text. Some cultures use a comma as a thousands separator and a period as a decimal point, while other cultures use the period and comma, respectively. For example, 1,547 in Germany and 1.547 in the United States are actually the same number. While the only difference in this example is a single character, the difference in meaning is significant. The presentation of dates and times are a very typical example of something that causes confusion for the user. When using two digits each to represent year, month, and day, the actual date might not be obvious. A few examples from different cultures include DD/MM/YY, MM/DD/YY, and YY/MM/DD. A single date in the format "xx/xx/xx" could be interpreted as three different dates. There are many other concerns that should be addressed as well when creating an international-friendly site. This is only a sampling of some of these. By the way... In its simplest definition, "internationalization" refers to creating a site framework that allows for content to be presented in a way that is consistent with regional styles and cultural customs. "Localization" refers to the actual implementation of each specific region's content into the international framework. Internationalization is commonly referred to as "i18n" because there are 18 characters between the beginning "i" and concluding "n." Similarly, localization is commonly referred to as "l10n." When starting to create an internationalized site, one must first give consideration to the various locales that need to be considered. This will help to define the requirements for the international framework. It is highly recommended to work with native speaking people who are very familiar with the regions and cultures that are part of your user demographic. Most importantly, the end user must understand that a page has been localized. It is a good practice to indicate or imply that the content has been formatted for their local formats. This avoids questions and possible misinterpretations. Further information This Q&A provides only a few introductory points on this topic. There are many books devoted to the topics of internationalization and localization. Becoming familiar with the styles and customs of other regions and properly implementing these elements into a web site will ensure that content is available to -- and truly understandable by -- a larger audience. Some of the standards typically used to create internationalized web sites include the following: - XML [ www.w3.org/XML ] is the preferred markup language for defining content. In addition to identifying the actual content, it can also include attributes that further define aspects of the content (such as language, grammar style, and current format of the content). Other web languages (such as XHTML) use these attributes to deliver the localized page appropriate for the current user. - XHTML [ www.w3.org/MarkUp ] is the successor to HTML, and is a markup language used to define web pages and to properly format and display XML content within them. - Unicode [ www.unicode.org ] is a numbered collection of the characters of all of the languages in the world. Using this standard ensures that the correct character will be displayed, regardless of the browser or system. Properly utilizing these standards in a web site can ensure that the concerns mentioned above are properly handled.Received on Wednesday, 11 June 2003 19:47:34 UTC

What Happened at Baptism?
How do you view baptism. Is it a ritual? Is it a Church Doctrine? What takes place in the water when people are baptized? It does not save you, but it is the start of your walk with Christ. It is the outward showing of what is happening in the heart. You HAVE to turn away from your old life and start living according to God's Word (Galatians 5:16-18)

Interim head coach Ben Cabell, on Knutson and Davoudi: "They both played very well today. Casey came back from losing the first set and won a big match for us. She again showed how tough she is. Myra's win was also important for us because she beat Gonzaga's number one so that gives us some confidence against WCC opponents."
Cabell, on day's matches: "I am happy with what the team did today. We did not lose any matches that we should have won and we competed really well. I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend."

Digital printing (textile)
Small and middle quantities are produced fastest and most cost-efficient using digital printing. The print files are sent from the computer directly to the printing machine and then transferred to the printed fabric. With environmentally friendly, water-based dispersion inks the printed fabric achieves the highest light fastness for outdoor use (grade 6-7). In digital printing, you can also select additional special colors from the Pantone C or U, HKS N, RAL, Black and Black Solid % colors thus achieving even higher color accuracy.
Screen printing (textile)
The environmentally-friendly, water-based ink specially adapted for each color tone is transferred to the printed fabric with a magnetic squeegee through the printing screen.
- Screen printing - Photo print (textile) Photo motives in screen printing can be realized by combining / printing in 4 colors: blue (cyan), red (magenta), yellow (yellow) and black (key) (= CMYK). Each color is specially adjusted and transferred with a squeegee through 4 pressure sieves onto the base material which is referred to as 4-color halftone printing. With use of special colors the color accuracy can be increased or the extra image areas can be displayed in solid print.
- Screen printing - Solid print (textile) The special colors selected from the color systems HKS N, Pantone C and U, RAL are applied and transferred to the printed fabric with a blade through the printing screen. Uniformly covered printed surfaces form high color accuracy. Photos or shading using this process cannot be displayed.

Just when people were starting to wonder whatever happened to Jean Van de Velde, the man himself has popped up in Paris on Thursday with a sparkling round.
Eleven years on from the week -- indeed the hole -- that wrote him into golf history, the 44-year-old began the Alstom French Open, just his second European Tour event of the year, with a 5-under-par 66 to share second place, three behind Dutchman Robert-Jan Derksen.
Now, if he now goes on to win the title on Sunday, Van de Velde, no longer a European Tour card holder, will be playing in the British Open at St. Andrews in two weeks rather than commentating on it. But, as the world No. 1,175 confesses, that is a big "if."
With Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter both being declared fit to play following their leg problems -- they shot 70 and 72, respectively -- Van de Velde will have to beat five of the world's top 11.
The fifth of those is defending champion Martin Kaymer of Grmany, and he also began with a 66. But in the last group of the day, former Dubai Desert Classic winner Derksen charged through the back nine in a 5-under 30 and picked up further shots on the first, sixth and long closing ninth.
"I have no expectations whatsoever," said Van de Velde, who needed a sponsor's invitation to be part of the field. "Even now. Especially now. But we will see -- you never know with a Frenchman."
He proved that at Carnoustie, of course. Three ahead standing on the final tee, Van de Velde crashed to the most famous triple bogey ever and then lost the playoff to Paul Lawrie.
This event has also given him his heartache. He tied with compatriot Jean-Francois Remesy five years ago after once more finding water on the last again and then did it again when they went into sudden death.
"There are two tournaments I would like to play all my life if I could, the French Open and the British Open," he said. "I have a few scars and and some have not healed, but those are the two that have a special place."
Westwood and Poulter both dropped two late shots, but were relieved to be playing after they were forced to sit out the eve-of-tournament pro-am. There was a fear that Westwood, runner-up after a playoff last year, was suffering a blood clot, but a hospital visit said the swelling had more to do with the heat.
"It's a bit sore and stiff and I think I have an injury in there somewhere," he said. "I think it wants rest and I have a couple of weeks after the Open when I can put my feet up."
Poulter had suffered a reaction to an insect bite on his shin and was given antibiotics. After three-putting the 16th and 18th, he commented: "I got round all right, but it's been itching the whole day and driving me crazy."
World No. 7 Luke Donald -- second, first and third in his last three tournaments in Europe -- was 2 over starting for home, but finished with a 1-under 70, while playing partner and 10th-ranked Rory McIlroy also covered the outward half in 33 for a 68.
European Ryder Cup Captain Colin Montgomerie could do no better than 73, however. And Jose Maria Olazabal, back in action for the first time since October because of his continuing battle with rheumatism, crashed to an 82 after taking -- like Ryder Cup hopeful Simon Dyson in his 78 -- a quintuple-bogey 9 on the last.

WASHINGTON, March 27 (UPI) -- The U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday ruled 5-4 in favor of Comcast in rejecting a class-action antitrust lawsuit filed by Philadelphia cable customers.
Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the opinion for the court, held the class action in the case had been improperly certified. Scalia said the U.S. Court of Appeals erred in refusing to decide whether the plaintiff class's proposed damages model could show damages on a classwide basis.
The plaintiffs in the class-action antitrust lawsuit alleged Comcast clusters their cable operations within a particular region by swapping their systems outside the region for competitor systems inside the region.
The plaintiffs said Comcast subscribers in the Philadelphia-area were harmed because Comcast's strategy lessens competition and leads to supra-competitive prices.
The Comcast subscribers sought class certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, which requires that "questions of law or fact common to class members pre-dominate over any questions affecting only individual members."
Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented.

I highly recommend the tennis lessons given by Linda and her husband. I've been going to them for several weeks now, and I have learned quite a bit during that brief time. I consider myself a weak 3.5, and they have helped me get my game stronger. It's a small group, so indiviudal attention can be given from time to time. Great South Pasadena location!!

Shutdown Standoff Shows Signs of a Thaw
Near-Term Debt-Limit Increase Gains Support From Conservatives as White House Meeting Is Set
WASHINGTON—The partisan logjam that has paralyzed the capital showed signs of easing Wednesday, as conservative Republicans warmed to the idea of a short-term increase in the country's borrowing limit and House GOP leaders prepared for their first meeting with President Barack Obama since the government shutdown began.
Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, outlined a plan Wednesday to fellow conservatives to extend the nation's borrowing limit for four to six weeks, paired with a framework for broader deficit-reduction talks, according to lawmakers briefed on the proposal. The greater the spending reduction the talks produced, the longer the next extension of the debt ceiling would be under Mr. Ryan's plan.

- D.C. Mayor Confronts Reid at Capitol
Top House Republicans prepared to head to the White House Thursday to discuss the issues underlying the standoff that has resulted in the nine-day partial government shutdown and that now threatens the country's ability to borrow.
The White House said the session isn't a negotiation, in keeping with Mr. Obama's demand that lawmakers raise the debt ceiling and fully reopen the government without conditions before policy talks are held. But the meeting may allow House Republicans to say they had a policy conversation with the president, which they have been saying is a condition of resolving the impasse.
Mr. Ryan's proposal for a short-term debt-limit increase drew broad support from conservatives at the Capitol Hill meeting, according to lawmakers who attended. Republicans leaving the closed-door session expressed support for a short-term measure even if it doesn't address the 2010 health-care law. Conservatives' efforts to curtail the law sparked the shutdown.
"It may make more sense to avoid back-to-back financial crises," said Rep. Kevin Brady (R., Texas), referring to the government shutdown and debt-ceiling deadline. "We may need some extra time to pull the right package together."
Solving an immediate impasse over the debt ceiling wouldn't necessarily resolve the spending fight that has closed the government. Many of the same conservatives who backed a short-term extension of the country's borrowing authority said they are willing to keep parts of the government shuttered in order to keep fighting over the health law.
Mr. Obama said Tuesday—and again in a Wednesday meeting with House Democrats—that he was open to a short-term debt-limit increase. White House officials view Thursday's meeting as an opportunity for Mr. Obama to make his case directly to lawmakers who are leading the fight to try to win policy changes, among them curbs to the health law, a senior administration official said.
At the White House meeting Wednesday, Mr. Obama told House Democrats they "need to be prepared to give and take" and reminded them "we weren't going to win everything," said Rep. Gerry Connolly (D., Va.), who attended the session. The president, he said, seemed to express "some sympathy for the position Republicans have put themselves in."
The prospect of broad budget talks is reviving worries among some liberals that Mr. Obama would agree to steps to trim Social Security or Medicare benefits in order to win Republican concessions. "That's our fear," said Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D., Ariz.) before the White House meeting.
Mr. Obama has invited the two parties' House and Senate caucuses to meet with him separately at the White House this week. But House Republican leaders, rather than sending their full membership of 232 lawmakers, on Wednesday said they would send 18, giving the meeting the sense of a more focused conversation.
The clearest sign of movement Wednesday was among House conservatives. After weeks of insisting that any measure to fund the government or keep it solvent include language to dismantle or delay the health law, conservatives have shifted their focus to broader—and potentially more achievable—deficit-reduction demands.
The Treasury has said the nation's statutory borrowing limit—the debt ceiling—must be raised this month, or it won't be able to pay all of the nation's bills. Under Mr. Ryan's proposal, borrowing authority would be extended by several weeks, with the expiration acting as a deadline for talks on a broader budget agreement.
Those talks would consider proposals to overhaul the tax code and rein in entitlement programs, according to lawmakers briefed on the proposal.
The length of the next debt-limit extension would depend upon the size of cuts. "Small reforms, small extension; medium reform, medium extension," Mr. Ryan told the group of conservatives, according to one participant.
Rep. Matt Salmon (R., Ariz.), one of the conservatives who had pushed party leaders to fight over the health law, said he could support a plan extending the country's borrowing authority by a month or so in order to initiate broader budget talks with Mr. Obama. "It's a provocative idea," Mr. Salmon said. "Anything that gets us to a meaningful reduction of spending—long-term mandatory spending—should be on the table."
Heritage Action, a prominent conservative group leading the charge against the health law, said it would support a short-term extension of the country's borrowing limit—but only to refocus the fight on the health law.
"We should raise the debt limit," Heritage Action Chief Executive Michael Needham said at a breakfast organized by the Christian Science Monitor. But he insisted that curbs on the health law be attached to any measure reopening the government.
A number of prominent conservatives agree with that tactic. "I still think Obamacare is central" to the broader budget impasse, said Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio).

Plan will involve workforce "realignment," but department says all employees will be given options to stay with USDA.
Julie Jacobson/AP
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack unveiled a plan Monday to overhaul and streamline the department's operations, an effort that will involve closing hundreds of USDA installations around the country.
Under the plan, known as the Blueprint for Stronger Service, the department will close 259 domestic offices, facilities and labs in the United States, and seven foreign offices.
They include the following closures:
- The Farm Service Agency will consolidate 131 county offices in 32 states.
- The Foreign Agricultural Service will close two country offices.
- The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will close 15 offices in 11 states and five offices in foreign countries.
- The Rural Development division will close 43 area and sub-offices in 17 states and U.S. territories.
- The Natural Resources Conservation Service will close 24 soil survey offices in 21 states.
- The Food Safety and Inspection Service will close five district offices in five states.
- The Agricultural Research Service will close 12 programs at 10 locations.
- The Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services unit will close 31 field offices in 28 states.
Agriculture officials said that many of the offices slated for closure are no longer staffed or have very small staffs. They said the consolidation of offices, along with other actions, would save about $150 million each year.
The department said that further savings would ultimately come from "future realignment of the workforce." A USDA spokesperson said, "all permanent full-time employees will be given options to stay with the department, and we are doing everything feasible to minimize the impact on employees. These decisions were not made lightly."
"The USDA, like families and businesses across the country, cannot continue to operate like we did 50 years ago," said Vilsack. "We must innovate, modernize, and be better stewards of the taxpayers' dollars."

Archdiocese of Chicago
Cardinal George is Archbishop Emeritus of Chicago and is a native Chicagoan.
Monday, August 06, 2012
Responses to my reflections last week on "Chicago values" fell into two camps. There were almost universal plaudits for recognizing that the government should be concerned about actions and not about thoughts and values. The media, of course, are in this camp, because they are concerned about the free speech that is at the heart of their profession.

Recent comments by those who administer our city seem to assume that the city government can decide for everyone what are the "values" that must be held by citizens of Chicago. I was born and raised here, and my understanding of being a Chicagoan never included submitting my value system to the government for approval. Must those whose personal values do not conform to those of the government of the day move from the city? Is the City Council going to set up a "Council Committee on Un-Chicagoan Activities" and call those of us who are suspect to appear before it? I would have argued a few days ago that I believe such a move is, if I can borrow a phrase, "un-Chicagoan."

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Wednesday of Holy Week brings us face to face with Judas Iscariot, who engineered Jesus' death by betraying him to his enemies. In recent years, there have been a few attempts to "rehabilitate" Judas, to explain away his apparently evil intentions and paint him as someone who really only wanted to force Jesus to show his power in extreme danger.

Today we take it for granted that words should be produced and reproduced electronically, as in this blog. Young people, I'm told, go to electronic sources for news, for research, for conversation. For four hundred years, words were mostly reproduced mechanically, by printing press. Before that, for many centuries, they were reproduced manually. Before that, they had to be repeated only orally, from one storyteller to another.

The recent publication of my book of essays, The Difference God Makes, has made a difference in my life. People seem interested in what I think, and that is very satisfying if somewhat surprising. I've participated in explanations of the book to the media and to others in Chicago, and it has been presented at the Lateran University in Rome and at an event organized by The Crossroads Cultural Center in New York.

St. Paul preached the Gospel where people gathered. As he went from city to city around the Mediterranean Sea, he began speaking in the town squares for the whole society to hear, even as he continued to speak in the synagogues for his own community to hear.

Ive been using DKR regimen for about 2-3 weeks now but only doing it once a day in the morning and havent been putting a full finger length amount of BP, only about as much as they tell you to in the first week. But they say it only works if you follow the steps of putting 2 pumps of cleanser and moisturizer and the finger length of BP two times day. I use 2 pumps of cleanser in the shower but I dont think I would ever be able to put 2 pumps of that moisturizer on my face its just to much. I would much rather have a natural way of clearig up acne than putting all those chemicals on my face twice a day. Is this acne from diet, hormones, or...? I do believe that irritation causes a lot of acne I try not to touch my face at all through out the day and change my pillow case once a week. What other tips are there that help acne? For instance ive heard on these fourms that omega 3 helps but not sure how Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google Inc.'s ambitious plan to supplant credit cards with smartphones has thrust the Internet search leader into a legal tussle with online payment pioneer PayPal, which contends Google stole its ideas by hiring away two key executives.
PayPal painted a picture of betrayal and corporate espionage in a lawsuit filed late Thursday in a California state court, just hours after the unveiling of the "Google Wallet" payment service in New York.
The 28-page complaint alleges the service evolved from research that eBay Inc.'s PayPal had been working on for the past decade.
PayPal fingers two central culprits in the intellectual heist — one of its former executives, Osama Bedier, and former eBay executive Stephanie Tilenius.
In its response Friday, Google contends it merely identified talented candidates to run its mobile payments service and then made them offers that proved too tempting to refuse.
"Silicon Valley was built on the ability of individuals to use their knowledge and expertise to seek better employment opportunities, a principle recognized by both California law and public policy," Google spokesman Aaron Zamost said. "We respect trade secrets, and will defend ourselves against these claims."
The civil complaint alleges Google spent more than two years discussing a partnership that would have relied on PayPal to process payments for an application market set up for Google's mobile phone software, Android.
Google cut off the Android talks earlier this year after it had poached enough PayPal employees to set up its own mobile payments service, according to the suit. The suit doesn't directly connect the application markets system with the technology behind Google Wallet.
Google recruited Bedier, a PayPal executive for nine years, while the two companies were in talks about their alliance. After initially waffling, Bedier left PayPal to become Google's vice president of payments four months ago.
Before leaving, Bedier transferred some of PayPal's secrets to his computer and also uploaded other sensitive information to an Internet storage locker called DropBox, the suit alleged. Bedier also began lobbying forGoogle to hire other PayPal employees working on mobile payments before he took the new job, the suit said.
Google wanted to hire Bedier so badly that Eric Schmidt, then Google's CEO, and company co-founder Larry Page got involved in the recruitment last fall, according to the suit. Page replaced Schmidt as Google's CEO last month.
Tilenius, now Google's vice president of commerce, began the wooing of Bedier with a Facebook message on July 15, 2010. As part of an agreement when she left eBay in October 2009, Tilenius had agreed not to recruit eBay employees until March of this year, the suit said.
Google, Tilenius and Bedier are all named as defendants in the suit filed in Santa Clara County. It seeks to a court order protecting PayPal's trade secrets, punitive damages and royalties from any revenue generated byGoogle Wallet.
It's not unusual for a company to go to court when a rival hires away a key executive. Google also was sued six years ago when it hired a top Microsoft Corp. executive to oversee its China operations. Before the case was settled, both companies filed documents that revealed colorful details about their rivalry.
Google, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., also was among six Silicon Valley employers who got into trouble with the U.S. Justice Department for agreeing not recruit each other's top engineers and other workers with specialized skills. The companies settled the allegations last fall by agreeing not to enter into "no-solicitation" agreements for five years. Neither eBay nor PayPal were among the employers involved in that settlement.

I may need chemotherapy for my breast cancer. Can I still have breast implants?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I may need chemotherapy for my breast cancer. Can I still have breast implants?
Rachel McKenna, MSN, CRNP, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
Women who need post mastectomy chemotherapy are still candidates for implants. Sometimes we need to change surgery dates based on your chemotherapy. For example, we will postpone your second stage surgery (to remove the tissue expanders and place the implants) until you are a safe period of time from your last chemotherapy. This time period can vary from 3 weeks to several months and will be determined by your surgeon and medical oncologist. This gives your body the necessary time to recover. Women undergoing chemotherapy may also take longer to heal their incisions. This is normal and expected.

Trauma and Its Effects on the Psyche/Spirit
Trauma and Its Effects on the Psyche/Spirit
(Links to resources at bottom of article)
Most people these days understand that trauma has psychological effects. If you've been reading my other articles, then you understand that the word psyche derives from both Greek and Latin words that refer to "spirit".
Psychology is therefore, the study of the psyche or spirit.
I have posted this article in my Metaphysical Forensics blog, because that which affects the psyche/spirit is metaphysical.
Now while reading this article, please consider the effects of trauma on the psyche & the behaviors these effects cause, in relation to the Hegelian dialectic (problem, reaction, solution).
Trauma in childhood is recognized in the psychological community as having a negative impact on behavior, causing things like PTSD, Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, and Schizoid Personality Disorder, to name a few. I suspect that the more trauma a person has in their life, whether in childhood or adulthood, the more problems will manifest in their psyche (spirit), and in their behavior, causing them to be prescribed multiple psych drugs over their lifetimes.
Is this some sort of a formula or what?
While I do have some strong misgivings about the discipline of psychology and their over-emphasis on drugs for behavioral disorders, when there are no real objective tests for most of these disorders, this does not make psychology an invalid science… just a flawed & corrupted one, in need of more thorough oversight in the community, since it seems like the whole discipline has fallen into the hands of big pharma.
People with PTSD have been found to have elevated stress hormones (cortisol) which can lead to heart disease, and also to the shrinkage of the hippocampus (which affects the transfer of facts from short-term to long-term memory).
Trauma & Circumcision:
After doing some research on the subject of trauma & PTSD, I have noticed that the most common groups studied in relation to this are veterans & children. I find it interesting that no one seems to be studying the effects of trauma from circumcision. I realize that this may be more difficult to get anecdotal information from infants, however, one could measure the amounts of cortisol in the brain before & after a circumcision, or measure the differences in the size of the hippocampus of those who were circumcised & those who were not.
I mention circumcision because it is the mutilation of a male child's penis, usually done immediately after birth, unless the child is an orthodox Jew, who will get this done at 13 years old, viewing it as a "rite of passage". When I consider circumcision, I cannot help but consider the long term psychological impact of this practice on a newborn baby. Sadly, the families who allow it & the doctors who perform it apparently do not question the ramifications of this wicked trauma done on a newborn. I think this is why so many males don't question going off to war… they've already been prepped with violence.
Circumcision is a physical assault on the most sensitive part of a male child's body, which then makes it a violation of the psyche as well. If considered in combination with the existence of the chakras, this mutilation of an organ in the root chakra has affects on emotions involving security needs. Trauma at such a young age, whether through circumcision or through the unceremonious routines of measuring & weighing, blood testing, a vitamin K shot, vaccines, & drops or ointment in the eyes, would seem to have some sort of emotional impact on the psyche of a newborn baby that is supposed to be experiencing its first few hours bonding with its mother.
About the root chakra: "The root chakra is responsible for your sense of belonging, safety, and security in the world. It's main concern is survival of the self. (Emphasis Mine) The health of our blood, immune system, bones, joints and spine is dependent on the emotions associated with this chakra. It envelops the body's basic needs for safety, money, sexuality, groundedness and boundaries. People who have trouble with their first chakra may not have developed a strong identity and have not discovered their life purpose. If they are too yin they may be ungrounded. If they are too yang there might be too much attachment to material things, too much self-indulgence and a preoccupation with satisfaction of their own needs." – from naturalhealthtechniques.com (link below)
So any trauma in early infancy would naturally have effects on the root chakra, causing security issues in the psyche, which then ripens them up to be conditioned into good little consumers, who are very needy, and often greedy.
Circumcision would of course have the strongest impact of all the "routine" procedures done to a newborn after birth. Have you ever seen a circumcision on a newborn baby? The one I saw was awful, & proved to me that babies do feel pain, regardless of what the doctor may tell you. The question is, what are the long term effects of such a traumatic procedure on an infant's psyche?
It is my feeling that trauma in infancy & early childhood has a tendency to soften up the mind & make people more easily controlled by the societal conditioning, which is in turn, controlled by the so-called "hidden hand" (corporate elites), through the use of education, religion, television, movies, music, literature, & yes, even through the use of brain implants, on par with the research of people like Dr. Jose Delgado & Dr. Ewen Cameron. It sets in the newborn's mind, a state of shock, coloring almost everything that happens shortly after birth, including the bonding experience with the parents. I suspect that the traumatized brain of an infant or young child is much more easily hypnotized by the flicker-rate of the television, which is known to induce a trance-like state in those who watch it.
Trauma & Adoption:
There are other traumas that occur during infancy, such as adoption. Now recognized as a traumatic experience by many metal health professionals, with life-long consequences, adoption has a deep psychological impact on the child, leading to a disproportionate number of adoptees seeking help for mental health issues. Adoptees often end up with various forms of attachment disorder, addictions, depression, & obsessive behaviors, to name a few.
While the damage from the aforementioned traumas may have already been done to the psyche, & while some of these people do need medication for the deep psychological issues caused by these events in order to be functional, would it not make perfect sense to examine evidence (measuring cortisol) that is now available with relation to trauma & its effects on the brain?
Trauma Based Mind Control:
Most people who have done any research into the subject of trauma-based mind control understand that it is a powerful way to alter the mind. The more sensational cases of people, like Cathy O'Brien or Brice Taylor, speak of the splitting of the mind into multiple personalities through the use of trauma. I contend that the creation of MPD in a person is not necessary for mind control to be achieved.
Learned Helplessness:
Evidence of this concept can be found in the way the American public mostly sat back & watched as their freedoms were eroded in the years following September 11th, 2001. Had they not been repeatedly exposed to the trauma of the event at the World Trade Center, would it have been as easy for those in power to erode American liberties? Does the fact that the United States has been at war for so many years now have a general impact on the collective psyche of its inhabitants, a population which was raised on television? Is it possible that trauma delivered on such a large scale has anchored trauma in infancy or childhood, & induced a state of learned helplessness?
"The concept of learned helplessness was discovered accidentally by psychologists Martin Seligman and Steven F. Maier. They had initially observed helpless behavior in dogs that were classically conditioned to expect an electrical shock after hearing a tone. Later, the dogs were placed in a shuttlebox that contained two chambers separated by a low barrier. The floor was electrified on one side, and not on the other. The dogs previously subjected to the classical conditioning made no attempts to escape, even though avoiding the shock simply involved jumping over a low barrier." – from psychology.about.com (link below)
The above study was done in 1967.
Please reread that above paragraph & let the information sink in. It shows that repeated trauma can induce a state of learned helplessness.
Trauma & Television in Conditioning:
Traumatize a baby & then sit it in front of the television for a while. Most people go into a sort of trance when watching television anyway, due to the flicker-rate (aka "refresh-rate") effect. Since the child's mind is like a sponge, it will suck up all the programming you want. Granted, this is a highly contested statement about television programming, however, it should be considered that, at the very least, watching TV can put a person into a hypnotic, trance-like state, causing things being said to them afterwards to have the possibility of becoming a post-hypnotic suggestion. Hence, advertising.
Let me illustrate this idea: Let's say you are a 13 year old kid, watching a couple of hours of TV before bed. Right after you turn that TV off, you hear your dad complaining that you didn't take the trash out or get the mail. He gets angry & says that you're stupid a number of times. Does this statement that you are stupid have an increased possibility of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy because you were just in a trance for the past 2 hours before hearing it? Would there be a difference in the effect depending on whether you experienced trauma in infancy or early childhood? Could this have something to do with the reason many victims of mind control programs cite the ritual drowning at 3 years old as being one of their experiences?
It seems to me that trauma has as one of its effects a type of fracture of the psyche or spirit. Setting newborn babies up in this way has caused most of us to end up with an unnatural state of need & insecurity, which is then played on by all sorts of advertising making people desire things they do not need. It also has, as an unfortunate (but possibly intended) side effect: a tendency to cause symptoms such as obsessions, attention deficit disorders, depression, hoarding, paranoia, eating disorders, drug & alcohol addiction, shopping addictions, social anxiety, & other behaviors categorized as mental dysfunction. In reality, these behavioral problems are merely a normal reaction to adverse stimuli that has occurred since birth, & in some cases, over the course of a lifetime.
Natural Trauma:
There are plenty of traumas that are natural aspects of life. These include birth, loss of a loved one, injuries, etc. These natural traumas may cause some issues with the psyche, but they will be healed over time. The problem is that there are so many orchestrated & manipulated traumas in a person's life these days, including the examples I mentioned above, that the psyche never gets a real chance to heal.
Between trauma in infancy & early childhood, and trauma witnessed in the news every day, it becomes clear to see an atmosphere of terror is causing these mental/emotional/spiritual issues to manifest in people. The event of what happened to the World Trade Center marked a turning point in traumatizing the masses to allow those with power to enslave the people in such a way, that they would not even recognize their slavery.
Is it any wonder that so many people these days are running to the psych doctor for medication to alleviate their symptoms?
Is it any wonder that people have allowed their civil liberties to be eroded, given the discovery of learned helplessness as related to trauma? This has been going on longer than anyone realizes, & has far reaching implications.
