GENEVA – An effort by horse advocates to pass a bill that does more to stop the cruel practice of "soring" Tennessee Walking horses and two other breeds has apparently stalled, even with wide bipartisan support.
Soring is described as intentionally inflicting pain on the front legs and hooves of Tennessee Walking horses, Racking horses and Spotted Saddle horses to exaggerate their high-stepping gait, said Gail Vacca, president of Illinois Equine Humane Center in Maple Park.
"It is a horrifically cruel practice – just horrible," said Vacca, who supports stronger legislation to end the practice. "It just defies description ... they use caustic chemicals on the horse's legs and chains, shoes with nails sticking into their feet. It's totally sadistic. It's sickening."
Sue Balla of Casey's Safe Haven in Elburn agreed more needs to be done to stop soring.
"They do this so the horses will pick their feet up higher in the show ring," Balla said. "It is a horrific, cruel, barbaric thing to do to an animal. They are forcing them to be in so much pain so that they will pick their feet up higher. That is the show world."
Diana Anshakov of Newark said she stopped showing her own Tennessee Walking horses because of the abuse in the industry. She has been working to get support for HR 1518, a bill pending in committee. The bill would amend the Horse Protection Act, which already bans soring, to have USDA enforcement so the industry is no longer policing itself. It also would increase penalties, among other provisions.
The bill has 190 Democratic and 115 Republican co-sponsors across the country – from Hawaii to Florida, New York to Texas. In Illinois, 16 of 18 representatives are co-sponsors except U.S. Reps. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, and John Shimkus, R-Collinsville.
The bill has wide support from humane, veterinarian and equine organizations that testified at hearings late last year, but it remains stalled in the Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee. Anshakov said she believes if three more Republicans became co-sponsors, the bill would move on for a vote.
Anshakov said having 118 Republicans on board as sponsors would fulfill the "Hastert rule," an unwritten rule that a bill should not advance for a vote unless it was a "majority of a majority" ensuring it would pass.
Anshakov said she called the offices of both Hultgren and Shimkus to ask for their support as co-sponsors. She said an aide told her Shimkus would not because he is not on the committee. A spokesman for Shimkus could not confirm his stance on the bill.
Anshakov said she told Hultgren's office she did not live in his district.
"I asked him to join my Rep. [Adam] Kinzinger [R-Channahon] and 16 of 18 Illinois representatives and both Illinois senators in co-sponsoring the bill," Anshakov said.
In a June 30 letter, Hultgren thanked Anshakov for sharing her concerns.
"I will keep your views in mind should HR 1518 reach the House floor," Hultgren's letter to Anshakov states. "Whether at a show or in the home, how we treat our animals reflects the values of our society. We should be promoting a culture of life and protecting the vulnerable among us – people and animals alike."
Hultgren's Democratic opponent in the Nov. 4 election, Dennis Anderson, called the incumbent out for not co-sponsoring the bill.
"This is just a common-sense, a common-decency bill, and we should get everyone on board and pass the thing," Anderson said. "I'm not a 'horse' person, but I'm committed to animal welfare issues. It's a barbaric practice, and it's illegal. It's an under-regulated industry that is allowed to police itself."
A spokesman for Hultgren said the Hastert rule does not necessarily determine movement of a bill, as many come up for votes with fewer sponsors than the anti-soring bill.
Instead, the spokesman said it is up to the House leadership – Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana – to bring the anti-soring act to a vote on the House floor.
"The congressman's No. 1 priority is to get people back to work," the spokesman said. "These other issues are important, but that is what he is focused on in Congress."

Q: HOW DO I... sort an array of strings?
A: Sorting jobs come in all sizes. One of the most common is simply sorting an array of strings. Unless the array is very large, the standard
qsort() function is often inefficient for such tasks. In such situations, you might consider the Shell sort presented in this Snippet. Call it with only two
arguments, a pointer to the string array to sort and the number of strings in the array.
/* ** strsort() -- Shell sort an array of string pointers via strcmp() ** public domain by Ray Gardner Denver, CO */ #include <string.h> #include <stddef.h> void strsort (char **array, size_t array_size) { size_t gap, i, j; char **a, **b, *tmp; for (gap = 0; ++gap < array_size; ) gap *= 2; while (gap /= 2) { for (i = gap; i < array_size; i++) { for (j = i - gap; ;j -= gap) { a = array + j; b = a + gap; if (strcmp(*a, *b) <= 0) break; tmp = *a; *a = *b; *b = tmp; if (j < gap) break; } } } }

- Rounding floating-point values

The climate change racket: Finally a 'day in court'?
Is the day that non-alarmists have long awaited finally upon us? The climate change racket on trial in a court of law?
It's what we non-alarmists have long wanted: the climate change racket on trial in a court of law. In threatening National Review and its international columnist Mark Steyn with legal action over alleged "defamatory remarks" in his 'Corner' column, inventor of the famously debunked "hockey stick" climate graph, Dr Michael Mann, may have finally bitten off way more than he can legally chew.
The current ruckus started when columnist Steyn penned a short piece entitled Football and Hockey on July 25th. In it Steyn referenced Rand Simberg's 'Unhappy Valley's Other Scandal' article (July 13th) on the Competitive Enterprise Institute's 'Open Market' blog site.
Simberg's posting was based on former FBI director Louis Freeh's recently published report setting out the "appalling behaviour" of the Penn State authorities who were found to be complicit in covering up Jerry Sandusky's serial rape activities. Simberg made the point that the same "rotten and corrupt culture" at Penn State had, two years earlier, conducted an investigation that ultimately "whitewashed" another of their high profile "rock star" staffers, Dr Michael Mann, who was also "bringing in millions in research funding".
In the wake of the Freeh findings, calling for a "fresh, truly independent enquiry", Simberg states: "now that we know how bad it was, perhaps it's time that we revisit the Michael Mann affair, particularly given how much we've also learned about his and others' hockey-stick deceptions since."
Enter Mark Steyn, a columnist known for non-PC, bullish straight-talking. While Steyn declines to extend Simberg's "metaphor all the way to the locker-room showers", he reminds us that "when the East Anglia emails came out, Penn State felt obliged to 'investigate' Professor Mann. Graham Spanier, the Penn State president forced to resign over Sandusky, was the same cove who investigated Mann."
Steyn went on to assert that Michael Mann is "the man behind the fraudulent climate-change 'hockey-stick' graph, the very ringmaster of the tree-ring circus". It is this sentence that subsequently attracted the threat of court action from Mann's lawyer via a letter that NR's Rich Lowry described as "laughably threatening". The letter suggests Mann's legal team means business unless the National Review (NR) "issues a retraction of this article and apologizes to Dr Mann".
They aren't going to get either, however, as NR's letter in response makes abundantly clear.
In essence, NR's response to the threat of being sued is twofold. First, it cites legal precedent that the "use of the term 'fraud' was accurate and appropriate in the context in which it was used"; that is "not in the criminal sense" but "used to call out his conclusions on climate science as intellectually suspect". This, says the NR letter, is exactly the kind of language used in public debate that the First Amendment seeks to protect.
Further, the allegation that Steyn made an "insidious comparison between Dr Mann and Jerry Sandusky" doesn't bear close scrutiny.
As someone who worked for 17 years in the law including numerous fraud trials, I can state categorically that the second complaint has 'no legs'. In his piece, Steyn specifically disassociates himself from Simberg's locker-room "metaphor". Believing Simberg "has a point", Steyn actually poses the highly pertinent question, "If an institution is prepared to cover up systematic rape of minors, what won't it cover up?"
But why get so upset about this single short blog post when whole books, countless articles and websites have said far worse? NR's Lowry perhaps gets closest, asking in his blunt Get Lost follow-up article: "So why threaten to sue us? I rather suspect it is because the Steyn post was savagely witty and stung poor Michael."
I agree. Whenever I have invoked wit against the frailty of climate change rhetoric and its proponents, the blowback in online comments usually, with those ideologically wedded to alarmism, borders on the vitriolic. Not that they ever bother to argue actual facts and data; ad hominen attacks, threats and unrestrained open abuse is a typical response.
Sifting through the Climategate emails themselves, in which Mann features strongly, any right-thinking person might easily conclude that they were eavesdropping on the Soprano family network given their inherent lack of integrity – not least, the deceptive "trick" Mann admits to using during the manufacture of his notorious hockey stick graph.
No doubt Mann and his legal team assumed the NR publisher, threatened with legal action, would quickly fold. But they failed to understand three things.
First, a 'day in court', publicly scrutinizing Mann's climate work in detail, plays right into the hands of the whole climate 'skeptic' world. Second, NR lawyers clearly know the law in this matter as it affects the use of the accusation "fraudulent" in the non-criminal sense. Third, Mark Steyn already has a successful track record with similar spurious law suits.
In short, any Mann v NR/Steyn litigation would not be a simple case of fighting over the use of a single word in a defamation case, it would be a full-scale scrutinizing of Mann's work, the shameful hockey stick graph which we all know actively hid key data that confuted the associated conclusion, climate data per se and, not least, Mann's own scientific integrity and reputation.
As NR and Steyn have already indicated to Mann's lawyers, sue away, bring it on! After all, it is high-time the real science was brought fully under public scrutiny.
At time of writing the ball is firmly back in Mann's court and we await his next move with considerable interest. For my money, don't expect Mann to carry through on his threat. Once he realises just exactly who he is up against – and it's not just NR and Steyn – and what is at stake for the whole climate change racket, for Penn State's coffers, and for his reputation, expect weasel words to the effect that "on reflection, it's not worth it".
After all, he won't want to risk killing the golden 'public climate cash' goose.

Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Chris Pratt were at the Oakland Coliseum Wednesday, filming a recreation of the A's magical 20-game winning streak that propelled them to the 2002 playoffs.
"It was a blast," A's bat boy Jordan Iserson told the San Francisco Chronicle by phone Thursday. "Almost as good as the real thing."
The highlight of this week's action at the Coliseum was Pratt's reenactment of Scott Hatteberg's ninth-inning pinch-hit home run on Sept. 4, 2002.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
'They said, 'No matter what, if it's in fair territory, act like it's a home run,' " Iserson told the Chron. "His first swing was a weak broken-bat groundball and everyone rushed out there like it went into the fifth row."

Maybe, Canon is not looking at the MF 645 chip, because it is already been done by other companies. What left is the RZ and the Fuji 680, why fellow if they can produce a 6x7 chip. Just look at all those RZ and Fuji 680 out there. That what I would do, since Canon makes their own chip.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65379\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The original question was will Canon bring out a MF digital at Photokina. That is mere four months from now. Canons release schedule has already been well documented and theyve been right on schedule with updates to each line: 30D, Rebel, 1D2n and 1Ds2 to date. They will be due for an update to the 1Ds2 by Photokina so we all expect a replacement. Given the current trajectory of the upgrades it is very probable they will release a 22-24MP 35mm 1DsIII.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65435\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Without ruling out a possible MF move, I think that Canon shoudl better work on the hardware of their 1d series.In my view, the priority for them is to stay ahead of Nikon, and the d2x series created a significant lead for Nikon in most field but sensor, my view is that Canon will release a 2ds that will have improved ergonomics, be lighter and feature a better AF in low light,... that would help a lot more Canon photographers out there a lot more than many more MPs... there will be MPs also of course...Regards,Bernard[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65455\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

They will be due for an update to the 1Ds2 by Photokina so we all expect a replacement. Given the current trajectory of the upgrades it is very probable they will release a 22-24MP 35mm 1DsIII. Ask yourself these questions: is the current 1Ds2 the pinnacle of the 1Ds line? Would the current L lens line-up not benefit from at least one more major upgrade, including MP count and color bit depth in the 1Ds series? And lastly wouldnt almost every current owner of a 1Ds2 and aspiring 1Ds series buying who could afford it buy a 1DsIII? I think there is motive, timing issues and a substantial need for the 35mm 1DsIII to come out right around Photokina and the market for it would be substantial. A lot of people like me with a huge investment in L glass would welcome just that extra little bit from a 22-24MP 1DsIII with 16-bit color and yes, some of it would be wasted but it would be plenty worth the money. I would buy it in a minute. Id still keep my Hassy H series camera and lenses to supplement it. But Id buy the 1DsIII in a minute. So would most of you. [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65435\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
What will come out in September is the tentatively titled 1Ds MIII. It will have 20 megapixels. [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65129\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
It will also have a 3" screen! So the body will handle every from the 1D Mark II all the way beyond the 1Ds Mark II. An all in one camera.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65129\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
"Given the current trajectory"... What? Where are you getting your logic and your mathematics? The most recent evidence that might populate data on any trajectory is that MP is not increasing. Canon didn't do it on the 1D model, and they didn't do it on the 30D. Nearly all professional market watchers are saying that the MP race is over. What possible reason would Canon have to produce something with more than 16mp? The market for more than 16mp is tiny (most of the posts say they don't need more than 16mp), they could only do so at great cost, they have NO competition even at 16mp, [a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65512\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
They have no competition in pixel count, but recent comparisions have shown once more that the d2x is already very close at base ISO (if not better).They know that Nikon will come up with something else, or if Nikon doesn't then Fuji will, and if Fuji does't, then it will be Pentax, or else Sony,... it might not be in 2006, but it will be in 2007, and is Canon going to take the risk to be overtaken middel of next year with another 1.5 year until the next upgrade? I don't think so.If a dying company like Mamiya managed to release a completely new 22 MP body at a price only 40% higher than that of the 1ds2, who knows what a healthy giant willing to quick ass could do next based on existing designs?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65520\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Sorry Alain, Pentax has been there.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65445\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I heard rumours that the next camera is over 22mp and under $6000.00 US.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65590\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
To keep things on topic, the point is that a 20Mp sensor even with new ultra L lenses is at the absolute limit of 35mm lens optical resolution. Canon are not stupid, and can see where its headed - they *have* to produce an MF (larger sensor) solution if they want to go beyond 20Mp in any meaningful way.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=65143\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

Life in The Upper South... And What I Think About It...
Twenty horses will race at Churchill Downs in Louisville at the world-famous Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 6. It happens just once a year.
Some people around here will have Derby parties on Saturday. Everyone will drink mint juleps (or beer) and watch the race together. Maybe they'll do a little private betting. Some people will even go to Louisville to watch in person and do some betting.
I don't get too excited about the Derby, but I would like to attend it once to observe it all. I am not an enthusiastic gambler or a fast horse fanatic and I don't care for mint juleps but I would enjoy watching the spectators. It's traditional for the ladies to wear fancy hats. Here are some examples of Derby hats from 2000 and 2002.
Hopefully, a trip to the Kentucky Derby would include some sightseeing in Louisville as well. Much history is connected to this Ohio River port. It was founded by George Rogers Clark who was a brother to William Clark, my ancestor. We've been to Louisville a few times, but we've never had time to tour there nearly enough to satisfy me.
All in all, May 6 will be an interesting day. Isaac will be attending his Junior-Senior Prom that night so that will be a big event for him. We will probably hear or see a few scraps of the Derby while we are getting him spiffed up and decked out.
I remember Keely getting dressed for a couple of proms while the horses were getting ready to run just a few years ago. Both the Derby and the local prom are traditionally scheduled for the first Saturday in May.

As Michael Pollan says about the book: "Growing Roots introduces us to a few dozen young food pioneers through their words, photos and, even more usefully, through their recipes. Think of it as a community cookbook for the food movement."
Alice Waters says: "Seeing the publication of 'Growing Roots: The Next Generation of Sustainable Farmers, Cooks and Food Activists' fills me with hope. It was not so long ago we feared there wouldnt be enough individuals to fill a book like this, let alone the incredible movement of young sustainable farmers, cooks and activists who are spreading exponentially across the nation. Katherine Leiner has compiled a wonderful anthology of revolutionary, individuals who continue to push for the holistic change we need to see in the food system."

"Growing Roots: The New Generation of Sustainable Farmers, Cooks and Activists" focuses on who's growing our food these days. With consumers turning their attentions from the manufactured to the local and organic, Katherine Leiner goes in search of how growing food in America is changing. What she finds is surprising: a highly educated generationmany of whom were not born into that lifeare redefining agriculture.

EPA Adds Unimatic Manufacturing Corporation site in Fairfield, NJ to the Federal Superfund List; PCBs Contaminated Site
Release Date: 05/08/2014
Contact Information: Elias Rodriguez, (212) 637-3664, firstname.lastname@example.com
- (New York, N.Y.) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has added the Unimatic Manufacturing Corporation site in Fairfield, New Jersey to its Superfund list of hazardous waste sites. Unimatic formerly used the site to run a metals molding facility and operated machines using lubricating oil that contained polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The company's operations caused the soil, ground water and a building on the property to be contaminated with PCBs. The nearest public drinking water wells are located less than one-half mile from the site. The water supply is monitored regularly to ensure the water quality meets drinking water standards and is safe to consume. The water meets federal and state drinking water standards.
PCBs were widely used in hundreds of industrial and commercial applications until they were banned in 1979. They persist in the environment and can affect the immune, reproductive, nervous and endocrine systems and are potentially cancer-causing.
"The inclusion of the Unimatic site on the Superfund list will allow the EPA to move forward with the work needed to protect the health of people who live in Fairfield," said Judith A. Enck, EPA Regional Administrator. "The EPA can now begin the studies needed to develop a comprehensive cleanup plan that addresses the legacy of PCB contamination."
Unimatic operated a metals works and metals molding facility at the site from 1955 until 2001. The company allegedly disposed of PCB-laden lubricant through floor trenches that led to facility wastewater pipes. The pipes, which discharged into a tributary of Deepavaal Brook, allowed the wastewater to leak into the ground at the site, contaminating soil and ground water throughout the property. Operations inside the building lead to contamination of the interior building structure.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection has issued numerous violation notices to Unimatic, which have resulted in the company removing some contaminated soil. High PCB concentrations, however, remain in soil and ground water as well as inside the building. The property was sold in 2002 after Unimatic ceased operations at the site.
Since 2002, the facility has been used by Frameware, Inc., a metal frame parts manufacturer and distributor. In May 2012, at the request of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the EPA took samples inside and outside the building on the site. Based on the results of EPA's sampling, the New Jersey Department of Health, in consultation with the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, recommended that employees of the facility be relocated. Frameware, Inc. moved its operations and removed approximately 20 workers from the contaminated work environment.
The EPA periodically proposes sites to the Superfund list and, after responding to public comments, designates them as final Superfund sites. The Superfund program operates on the principle that polluters should pay for the cleanups, rather than passing the costs to taxpayers. The EPA searches for parties legally responsible for the contamination at sites that are placed on the Superfund list and it seeks to hold those parties accountable for the costs of investigations and cleanups. The EPA is in the process of identifying those responsible for the cleanup of the Unimatic site.
Today's addition of this site brings the total of proposed and final sites on the federal Superfund list in New Jersey to 117.

NBC's "Stars Earn Stripes" war reality show in the crosshairs
[media-credit name="NBC" align="alignleft" width="229″][/media-credit]
Peace groups have launched a protest against the NBC reality show, "Stars Earn Stripes," which debuts Monday (7-9 p.m. on Channel 9) after massive promotion during the Olympics.
The groups opposing the show charge that the series turns war into a game, minimizes the very real, lethal results or war and trivializes conflict. The protestors — including RootsAction.org, Just Foreign Policy, Veterans For Peace and Military Families Speak Out — blast the program as "War-o-tainment."
Retired U.S. Gen. Wesley Clark serves as co-host of the show; Todd Palin, husband of Sarah Palin, is among the "celebrity" contestants. NBC pitches the show as "an action-packed competition show that pays homage to the men and women who serve in the U.S. armed forces and our first-responder services."

text: Artist Statement:Art is the manipulation of the world around us in order to create something new and visually expressive. I create art because I can. It expresses what is inside me better than any other form. I love creating and being inspired by my culture as a Tsalagi (Cherokee) and to paint with acrylic paints my chosen medium. I use the talent given to me by God because it would be wasteful to not use it, like killing a creature and not eating it. Native American spirituality is important for the advancement of the human race and I want to expose that truth. My art allows me to share something profound without speaking a word. It opens a gate into an ancient time before technology was so advanced where life relied on nature and family. I create art for the betterment of the human race intellectually, emotionally, and most important spiritually. ~Talon Kingfisher

1 6-7 lb roasting chicken
10-12 leaves fresh sage
Provençal salt*
olive oil
Preheat oven to 325. Meanwhile, rinse the (empty) chicken off with cold water. Place on the rack and position in the roasting pan. Rub the chicken with a tablespoon of oil. Arrange the leaves on the breast and sprinkle liberally with Provençal salt.
Roast at 325 for about 2 hours, then turn the heat up to 350 and cook an additional 30-45 minutes or until the juices run clear and the leg easily moves when wiggled. The internal temperature should be between 160 and 180. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before carving.
*Provençal salt is a mixture of coarse sea salt and Herbes de Provence.
My thoughts:It is just easing into chicken roasting weather and I went totally overboard and made a roasted chicken with stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, sauerkraut and roasted butternut squash all on a random Thursday evening. Now you don't have to go that far but I suggest you carve some time out to make this chicken.
I've found that sprinkling a chicken with coarse salt and spices is my favorite way to insure a juicy bird with crisp burnished gold skin. As an added bonus the sage and flavored salt seep into the meat leaving it juicy and herbal without taking away from the chicken's natural flavor. This technique incredibly simple but the results are amazing. Honestly, this was the best roasted chicken I think I've ever had, much less made.

Castilekăstēl´ [key], Span. Castillakästē´lyä [key], historic region and former kingdom, central and N Spain, traditionally divided into Old Castile and New Castile, and now divided into Castile–La Mancha and Castile-Leon. Castile is generally a vast, sparsely populated region surrounding the highly industrialized Madrid area. It includes most of the high plateau of central Spain, across which rise the rugged Sierra de Guadarrama and the Sierra de Gredos, forming a natural boundary between Old and New Castile. The upper Duero, the Tagus, and Guadiana rivers form the chief valleys etched into the plateau. The soil of Castile, ravaged by centuries of erosion, is poor, and rainfall is sparse.

The Towson Tigers are headed to the FCS championship game after a shocking comeback victory that featured an amazing performance from a very unlikely hero.
Backup quarterback Connor Frazier was pressed into service when starter Peter Athens suffered what appeared to be a shoulder separation near the end of the first half. The Tigers were leading 21-7 at the time and appeared to be on the way to closing out the second quarter with another touchdown when a fumbled snap shifted the momentum dramatically.
From then on, it was all Eastern Washington until the final five minutes of the game. The Eagles scored 31 unanswered points to take a 10-point lead, but Frazier found his legs midway through the fourth quarter and willed Towson back into the game. He drove the Tigers down the field for a pair of late touchdowns and capped the 35-31 victory with a quarterback sneak into the end zone with just 17 seconds left in the game.
The Eagles managed to keep Towson MVP Terrance West from running wild, but could not contain Towson's offense in the first half because Athens was able to take advantage of the defensive focus on the running game to pick apart the Eastern Washington secondary. When he left the game, the Eagles continued to pack the line of scrimmage and keep the linebackers up, but Frazier eventually found the cracks in that defensive scheme and led the Tigers to the biggest victory in Towson football history.
Apparently, heartstopping comebacks are becoming a Baltimore trademark. The Ravens have pulled off two in a row to keep their playoff hopes alive, and now this. It's been a terrific season for Rob Ambrose and the Tigers, but the way they won their 12th straight road game was a testament to good coaching, tough players and overall resilience.
They're going to face another daunting challenge when they head to Frisco, Texas, to face North Dakota State, which is attempting to win its third straight FCS championship. If Athens cannot play, the Tigers will be a huge underdog, but after what Frazier pulled off on the blood-red turf at Eastern Washington, it would be foolhardy to count them out.

Russia's Mariinsky Ballet is the former prestigious Kirov, the renowned ballet company that trained international stars Anna Pavlova, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Rudolf Nureyev. It has now welcomed its first American dancer, Keenan Kampa. This is not Kampa's first experience studying in Russia. She spent three years at the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg. Kampa says the way Russians dance is passionate and soulful and says being around the dancers is "inspiring."
By Katie Wall, NBC News
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Two hours before curtain on Friday evening, dancer Keenan Kampa was well aware that her appearance at the Kennedy Center was not just any performance: it was a homecoming.
"I've been coming here since I was a little girl," she said. "And now to be up on this stage, it's so surreal!"
Courtesy Gene Schiavone
Keenan Kampa at a recent Mariinsky performance of Swan Lake.
Raised in the nearby suburb of Reston, Virginia, Kampa grew up attending matinees and master classes here. But this time, she's back as the first American member of the legendary Mariinsky Ballet.
Formerly known as the Kirov Ballet, the centuries-old Russian company and its feeder school, the Vagonova Ballet Academy, have served as the breeding grounds for dance icons Mikhail Baryshnikov, George Balanchine, and Natalia Makarova, among others.
But the demanding nature of Russian dance is nothing new for the 23-year-old. While attending a master class at the Kennedy Center her senior year of high school, Kampa was spotted by a Vagonova instructor and offered a spot at the academy. "I was just very, very fortunate to have that invitation come," Kampa softly recalled, her humility almost as striking as her 5'8" frame.
But the move to St. Petersburg was hardly seamless.
An outsider at Vagonova, Kampa remembers her first year as "full of silence." Unable to communicate with her Russian peers and away from her family for the first time, she struggled to adapt to a foreign culture and an unfamiliar style of ballet.
"Everything about that move was uncomfortable- mentally, emotionally, and then physically, too, because the work ethic there is so different from what we as Americans are used to," she said.
By her second year, Kampa had caught up. Overcoming the initial culture shock and language barrier, she went on to win leading roles in school productions like "The Nutcracker," and ultimately became the first American student to graduate with a full Russian degree. Still, she was heartbroken when she didn't hear back after auditioning for a spot with the Mariinsky.
"I had always hoped to join the company there," she said. "But I knew as an American, and as a foreigner there, it was virtually impossible."
Unsure of her future, Kampa signed a two-year contract with the Boston Ballet upon graduation. When an invitation from Russia finally came a year later, she said, "It was a complete shock." Eager to return to St. Petersburg but still under contract with Boston, she delayed her Mariinsky start date to June 2012.
For Kampa, joining the historic ballet is more than a dream come true -- it's a chance to realize her artistic potential.
"There's something so special about the way the Russians dance," she said. "It's passionate, it's soulful, and it's unlike anything I've ever seen."
Kampa's performance in the ensemble of "Cinderella" at the Kennedy Center last weekend marked the completion of Kampa's first North American tour. She is now back in St. Petersburg with rest of the troupe.
A perfectionist, Kampa welcomes the rigor the Mariinsky reputation brings with it. "The challenge now is not to work to just work," she explains. "But to work intelligently, with a purpose. Because in my head is the image of the dancer I want to be."

Laptop for Grandma - Cloud Ready operating systems
Comments (2) Visits (23631)
Thanks to all the readers who responded to my bleg for help for the [Laptop for Grandma]!
I've gotten suggestions to upgrade the memory and disk storage, and how to fine-tune the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. Others suggested replacing the OS with Linux, and to use the Cloud to avoid some of the storage space limitations.
But first, I have to mention the latest in our series of "Enterprise Systems" videos. The first was being [Data Ready]. The second was being [Security Ready]. The now the third in the series: the 3-minute [Cloud Ready] video.
So I decided to try different Cloud-oriented Operating Systems, to see if any would be a good fit. Here is what I found:
(FTC Disclosure: I work for IBM and own IBM stock. This blog post is not meant to endorse one OS over another. I have financial interests in, and/or have friends and family who work at some of the various companies mentioned in this post. Some of these companies also have business relationships with IBM.)
I contacted grandma to ask if she has Wi-Fi in her home, and sure enough, she doesn't. Her PC upstairs is direct attached to the cable modem. So, while the Cloud suggestion was worthy of investigation, I will continue to pursue other options that do not require being connected. I certainly do not want to spend any time and effort getting Wi-Fi installed there.

About Sustainability at CCSF
About Sustainability at CCSF
Our aim is to develop a culture of sustainability at City College of San Francisco, a culture in which the concept and practice of sustainability is infused college-wide into everything that we do—not only with respect to facilities and operations, but also with respect to education, training, and student support services.
Put simply, sustainability requires that we limit our negative impact on the natural, social, and economic environments, while at the same time positively impacting these environments.
But to make this happen, students, employees, and the community need information about existing and new sustainability-related courses, programs, activities, operations, opportunities, and lifestyles.
We invite you to use this website as a central resource for greening
curriculum and daily practices collegewide, some of which
- reducing solid waste;
- increasing recycling and reuse (includes not only paper/aluminum/glass/plastic recycling but also how best to share excess supplies/furniture/equipment/machinery internally, etc.);
- increasing composting;
- eliminating toxic output (e.g., eliminating chemical cleansers, etc.);
- reducing water consumption via xeriscaping/native plants, low-flow toilets, etc.;
- reducing energy consumption via the use of alternative energies (solar, alternative fuels, etc.);
- reducing air pollution by encouraging car pooling, use of public transit, etc.;
- utilizing green building standards for new construction and renovations (encouraging the use of renewable resources, etc.);
- educating our students, faculty, and staff with respect to adopting practices that promote sustainability in their everyday lives; and
- educating and training students for environmental careers (green construction, alternative fuels, solar panel installation, green business certification, habitat restoration, etc.).

"Beautiful cottages"
We had a fabulous stay here recently. When we arrived we were shown to our cottage. Lovely and clean with complimentary milk, wine and champagne in the fridge and a box of lovely biscuits and chocolates. We stayed with two young children and the cottage had everything we needed, including cot, bed side, high chair, baby gates and even toys on request. We explored the Lake District and although a little out of the way this was the perfect place to stay. The hot tub on the balcony overlooked the beautiful scenery. We would definitely think about returning here and staying in one of the larger cottages with extended family. Thank you Monkhouse hill cottages!

Annette Burgard necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 140 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
We just left our corporate jobs to start up a company in the mobile internet sector. Both of us like to enjoy life, go out with friends, and have lots of fun! We are trying to make the lives of people like ourselves more convenient through the products our company will offer.
Our key target group will be sophisticated and dynamic young professionals between 25 and 45 years of age. They don't have much spare time, have a good amount of cash to spend and like a convenient and good lifestyle. They are frequent business travellers who go to restaurants, shows, etc... on a regular basis.
We are looking for a logo to represent our brand 'MeetPete'.
MeetPete will be a service platform provided on web and mobile applications.
The logo could include a person (Pete), but doesn't have to. If it does, we would ask for him to be both incorporated in the logo and a "standalone" full body on the side
Our requirements are:
1. The file size and graphics can't be too big or colorful as we are potentially talking about mobile applications and thus speed of loading is of the essence
2. We would like something sophisticated, professional, friendly and playful but not childish that at the same time inspires trust
3. Pete is your assistant, but also your friend
Feel free to get in touch for more feedback! We wanted to leave this open for your creativity.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
