Berg first in 100-mile race
By Jennifer Edwards
Staff Writer
JULIE BERG won the 100 mile McNaughton Trail Run in Pekin, IL. (Photo by Jennifer Edwards).
Julie Berg competed in her first 100-mile ultra-marathon race in Pekin, Il. and placed first among the women.
Berg completed the McNaughton 100-Mile Trail Run in 29 hours, seven minutes, running a 10-mile looped trail 10 times.
"In addition to the sheer magnitude of actually running 100 miles the race within which she competed is also known as a killer for its constant up and down terrain," said fellow Big Lake Runners Club member George Wallin. "Hill after hill."
Berg, who lives in Orrock Township and once served as township supervisor, works as an office specialist at Big Lake High School.
"The race was set in a state park and there were three river crossings," said Berg. "The course was spectacular. The foliage was green and the wild flowers were incredible."
The course passed through the start and finish area where there was food and drink available. As it began to get dark, Berg pulled out a headlamp and flashlight and kept running through the woods.
"Bats were attracted to the light and kept flying at me," she said. "It was freaky. I could hear wolves howling in the distance. I pretended they were dogs and kept going."
She walked from midnight until around 4 a.m., she said, following the course with her flashlight and reflector ribbons marking the trail. During that time, she seemed to be the only one out there.
"At the river crossings there were grab ropes stretched across to hang on to so you didn't get swept away," she said. "One was knee deep and another was waist deep. It was pretty scary in the dark, but I loved it. I'd do it again in a second."
Berg describes her passion for running as an addiction.
"It replaced alcohol," she said.
She started by walking and lost 30 pounds.
"Then I would walk for seven minutes and run for two," she said. "Then I walked for six minutes and ran for three and kept building up like that. I've lost about 70 pounds running. I joined the runners club. I competed in the Grandma's Marathon in Duluth and in the Twin Cities Marathon in 1999. Then I found these ultra-runners online three years ago. I thought they were crazy."
Berg competed in her first ultra race, the Ice Age, in Whitewater, WI. She had to complete the 50- mile course in 12 hours to qualify. She barely made it, finishing in 11:59.58.
"I was hooked," she said. "But training was tough, especially this last winter."
With the blessing and support of her family, Berg began running 80 miles a week and 10 hours a day on the weekend, training with her border collie, Topaz, who ran with her.
Berg, who turned 40 this year, plans to run another 50-mile ultra race May 21.
"I'm down to only running 30 or 40 miles a week," she laughs. 'I know it sounds crazy but now I'm hanging out with these ultra runners it just seems normal."
For winning the race, Julie was presented with a plaque and a silver belt buckle. She also won free admission to next year's race.
"I'm definitely going back to defend my title," she said.

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts–from far where I abide–
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see:
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee, and for myself, no quiet find.
Sonnet 27: Translation to modern English
Weary from travelling, I hasten to my bed – that welcome place of rest for limbs tired out from travel. But then another journey begins in my head that puts my mind to work after my body's work has ended; because my mind begins another, arduous, trip, from far away from home, to where you are, keeping my drooping eyelids wide open. It makes them stare at darkness, as blind people do, except that my imagination makes me see your image, that hangs like a jewel in the black night and makes it beautiful, transforming its old face to a young one. Look, now! Because of you, neither my limbs by day, nor my mind by night, enjoy any rest.

Review: Maleficent

It's been such a very long time since I exited a cinema without feeling angry about anything in the film I just saw, but Maleficent achieved this. Utterly captivating, bitter-sweet, ultimately uplifting, and not at all sexist. Like, that never … Continue reading →

Colon flirts with perfection as Mets down M's
Veteran righty retires 20 straight before Cano singles in seventh
SEATTLE -- Bartolo Colon is 41 years old, a decade removed from the back end of most players' primes. He weighs in officially at 285 pounds and he throws, essentially, one pitch.
Yet as Colon defies all that and more during his late-career renaissance, the Mets are reaping the spoils. Taking a perfect game into the seventh inning Wednesday at Safeco Field, Colon settled for 7 1/3 strong innings in a 3-2 win over the Mariners with the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline -- and all its implications -- looming over him.
"You just sensed it in the first inning," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Probably the second hitter you said, 'He's on today.' We saw some funny swings from good hitters. That's when you say, 'Score some runs for him today, because he's going to dominate.'"
Relying as usual on his array of fastballs that cut, sink or explode across the strike zone, Colon struck out five and walked one, throwing 81 percent fastballs. He gave up a series of hard-hit fly-ball outs in the fifth and sixth innings, but not a single baserunner into the seventh.
Seattle second baseman Robinson Cano finally redirected a 92-mph fastball to the opposite field with two outs in that inning, ending Colon's bid for a perfect game. From there, things unraveled a bit for the right-hander, with Brad Miller's RBI single finally chasing him with one out in the eighth. But Jeurys Familia and Jenrry Mejia managed to lock down the final five outs without major incident, the latter leaping off the mound in what has become his trademark save celebration.
"Check the resume -- he's pretty good," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said of Colon. "Listen, I've seen him do it to a lot of clubs, a lot of powerhouse clubs. Today was his day. I'm not going to sit here and overanalyze that."
"We always expect a lot from Bartolo," catcher Anthony Recker said. "He's our veteran. He's our lead guy. He's our horse, and we've got to ride him as far as we can."
Colon's excellence was necessary for a Mets team that continued to struggle at the plate. Facing rookie Taijuan Walker, whom the Mariners recalled from Triple-A Tacoma before the game, New York's offense essentially stalled after Daniel Murphy's RBI single in the first.
It was not until Walker beaned Ruben Tejada in the head in the fifth -- concussion tests were negative, and Tejada expects to play this weekend -- that things began changing for the Mets. Admittedly shaken, Walker walked three of the next five batters he faced, allowing Juan Lagares to plate the Mets' second run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth. Yet another Met crossed home on David Wright's RBI single off Dominic Leone an inning later, providing the Mets with an insurance policy that they would eventually cash in.
"Definitely," Walker said when asked if Tejada's head injury affected the rest of his outing. "You never want to hit anybody in the head, especially with a fastball. It's a scary thing, but you have to kind of shake it off and get back into the game. But it is tough."
The result was a second consecutive win for a Mets team that salvaged a 3-3 West Coast trek through San Diego and Seattle. Their road trip concludes with four games in Milwaukee beginning Thursday, which should have a profound effect on their strategy at the Trade Deadline.
At the center of that is Colon, whose value to a contender would be significant should the Mets fall completely out of the playoff race. If that occurs, the Mets would have little need for Colon, knowing their 2015 rotation is already primed to include Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jon Niese, Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom, with Rafael Montero also on the club's radar.
But a Mets team that does plan to crash the 2014 postseason could certainly use Colon's services, as well as those of fellow trade candidate Murphy. So the front office must decide -- and soon -- how realistic the playoffs are, before determining if Colon will have the opportunity to dominate for the Mets once more.
"I don't know anything about that," Colon said through an interpreter. "Those are decisions for the upper management, and you can't control that stuff."

Michael Evans (William Bumiller) is the hip young owner of the Super Body Health Spa. He seems to have it all: wealth, women, a slick car, a sweet pad, and a personal assistant in the form of Marvin (Ken Foree of Dawn Of The Dead). Life should be pretty happening for old Mike Evans, right? This is the eighties, fitness clubs are all the rage and he's got the hottest one in town.
Well, you'd think so but sadly, The Super Body Health Spa is plagued by an ongoing series of bizarre murders. It all starts when a fine young lady is burned while gallivanting around the sauna in her birthday suit. At first, Mike suspects that the computer that controls all of the spa's equipment may be at fault and that it somehow turned up the heat on the unfortunate lass. Upon further investigation, it may in fact be the programmer, Tom (Robert Lipton), who is behind it all. After all, he is the brother of Michael's recently deceased wife, Catharine (Shari Shattuck), who committed suicide after going insane a while back. She couldn't live being confined in a wheelchair and so she lit herself on fire and took her own life. Her brother hasn't forgotten this and might just hold a grudge.
In fact, it seems that his dead wife's brother holds Michael responsible for what happened to her and just might be up to some no good tricks of his own. But then, it seems that Catharine may just have come back and is haunting the health club. Is it all in Michael's imagination? Or is there something going on behind his back at the club? As the bodies start piling up, two cops are called in to investigate: Lieutenant Fletcher (Francis X. McCarthy) and Sargent Stone (Rosalind Cash) but no matter what, Michael has to ensure that the club's Mardi Gras party goes off without a hitch.
Death Spa, also known as Witch Bitch, starts off with a pretty great tracking shot in which some of the letters in the 'Super Body Health Spa' neon sign hanging out front go out, conveniently spelling the movie's titles and serving as foreshadowing for the events to come. From here, we get the opening murder scene in the tanning bed… and then things slow down. The middle portion of the movie is definitely filled with more eighties eye candy than you can shake a stick at, be it a plethora of naked ladies in the obligatory shower scene or just the completely goofy looking spandex outfits that everyone in the workout room sports, but not a whole lot happens. As we move toward the finish, however, the kid gloves come off and Michael's Mardi Gras party (where attentive viewers will probably giggle at Ken Foree wearing an extremely goofy Arabian Nights costume) turns into a nightmare of bad costumes and fantastic gore.
Michael Fischa, who directed such classics as My Mom's A Werewolf (starring John Saxon and Ruth Buzzi!) and Crackhouse, doesn't do much with the film from a stylistic point in terms of movement, though that opening steadicam shot with the neon sign is pretty cool. There is a lot of bold, gaudy color to admire here in the wardrobe and set decorations, however, the kind that screams eighties as loudly as it can. The gore effects are handled well here, be it a melting body or a guy working out and getting his arms cracked off by the weight machine. There's lots of goop and splatter in the big finish as the supernatural element of the film ramps up alongside the obligatory murder set pieces. Performances aren't really a strong point here. Bumiller is more than a little wooden and Foree for whatever reason can't bring nearly the screen presence he had in some of his better roles to this picture. Shari Shattuck is gorgeous and does alright in her part while most of us will be left wondering how Rosalind Cash wound up in this one in the first place. There are definitely better horror movies out there than this one but as far as goofy, stupid eighties low budget gore films go, you could definitely do worse. If nothing else, it's entertaining, even if sometimes it's for the wrong reasons.The Blu-ray:
Death Spa arrives on Blu-ray in AVC encoded 1080p high definition framed at 1.781.1 widescreen. Though the fact that the bit rate is on the low side means we get some compression artifacts here and there, the source used for the transfer is clean and colorful. In fact, color reproduction is excellent here. Black levels are decent too. Detail never hits reference quality but this movie, like a lot of low budget pictures made around the same time, has some softness that would seem to be inherent in the original photography. Skin tones look good and texture and depth are both improved over what standard definition can provide. There are no issues with noise reduction or edge enhancement and all in all, the movie actually looks pretty good on this Blu-ray release.Sound:
Audio chores are handled by a DTS-HD 2.0 track with no alternate language or subtitle options provided. There are, however, optional English closed captions available. The audio quality is decent enough as the levels are properly balanced and the score sounds alright. Dialogue never gets buried in the mix and the sound effects used during certain scenes have some noticeable punch to them.Extras:
Surprisingly enough, this one gets a legitimate special edition release and turns out to contain some great extras starting with a commentary track featuring director Michael Fischa (who calls in from his native Austria), producer Jamie Beardsley and editor Michael Kewley. Beardsley has the most to say about the movie, talking about how the script evolved, securing the locations, working on a low budget, casting the movie and more. Kewley chimes in where he can and offers up his thoughts on what he did on the picture while Fischa makes some interesting and sometimes humorous observations about the movie and offers up some stories of his involvement in the picture as well. It's a well-paced commentary that offers up quite a bit of information about the film's genesis and history.
From there, we get a nearly hour long featurette on the making of the film called An Exercise in Terror: The Making of Death Spa . Beardsley pops up here again as well, as do many of the cast members including Bumiller and Shattuck (no Ken Foree though). We also hear from the woman who pulled off that aforementioned steadicam shot in the opening of the movie about how she had to walk off of a crane and head through the parking lot into the building while explosions from the sign were going off above here! We also learn about the evolution of the script, how it was more or less completely re-written and more. The documentary does cover some of the same ground as the commentary but it's very thorough and contains a load of behind the scenes photos and a few clips as well, making it quite worthwhile if you're a fan of the movie. Rounding out the extras on the disc are two trailers for the feature, menus and chapter selection. As this is a combo pack release you also get a DVD version of the movie included inside the case.Final Thoughts:
Death Spa is goofy, often nonsensical, but you can have some fun with it if you're in the right frame of mind particularly if you have an affinity for the eighties and for low budget, trashy horror pictures. The Blu-ray release from Dark Sky Films is a good one, offering up the movie uncut with a fairly nice transfer, decent audio, a good commentary and an excellent and very thorough documentary. It's hard to imagine much more being done than what's been provided. Not a movie for everyone, but if you fall into the niche audience, it definitely comes recommended.

Wanna get jealous? Here's what I did on my first day of summer vacation:
I get up, Matt makes me some coffee, I drink it while reading Margo Rising, my newest web obsession--it's a snarky review, in order, of all the Sweet Valley High books. I did not realize during my young teen years, when I was reading those books for real, that Jessica Wakefield is a sociopath. She is, though. Cold, dead blue-green eyes the color of the Pacific Ocean and all.
After Matt goes off to work (poor dear), the girls and I spend HOURS making my Papa's biscuits. Seriously, hours. The dough was well-kneeded, I assure you:
They turned out pretty well, I think, considering that I used olive oil instead of Crisco and whole wheat flour instead of self-rising white and regular milk + vinegar instead of buttermilk. Oh, and I burned them.
So we eat ourselves some biscuits and then we go outside, where I do a RIDICULOUS amount of heavy yardwork. Seriously, I was literally gasping for breath after struggling with our reel-powered motor back and forth across the random, uneven hill in our side yard. I didn't even get anything planted or weed-whacked, which were my other goals for the morning, although the sunflower babies are up and so we can plant the cranberry beans now, and we have the potting soil that Willow's bachelor's buttons need, finally.
Back inside, I make the girls a lunch that they do not eat and bully Willow through dressing for school, tooth-brushing, hair-combing, shoe-tying, etc. Sydney plays until Matt gets back from taking Willow to school, and he puts her down for a nap while I eat cheese and bread and barbecue Baked Lay's leftover from the previous night's drive-in date.
I spend a while making some text changes and futzing over the book proposal, which I have GOT to stop futzing over and just mail, for Christ's sake.
The laminator is still out from when I was making craft fair signs (I looooove my laminator), and so I experiment with laminating some comic book panels I'd cut out. I am very pleased with how they turned out:It's a way to use them but keep them archivally safe, and unlike the comic panels backed with acid-free cardstock that I put in my pumpkinbear etsy shop, you can see both sides of the comic book page on these. After I experiment some more, I might add these to my shop, too.
While I cut out the laminated comic book panels, I catch up on Dollhouse and The Office on Hulu.
When Syd wakes up from her nap, I get her dressed and we go get Will from school. I want to go buy another printer ink cartridge after that (I swear, everytime I print something I feel like I am bleeding money), but Will has to pee and Syd is thirsty, so we just go home. The girls run in and out of the house and play for a couple of hours while I do some laundry and some dishes and look under couch cushions and behind the bed to try to find all the library books that are overdue.
When Matt gets home, I enlist him into FINALLY moving my compost bin to where I want it to be while Willow and I mend my jeans:
She's getting pretty handy with the seam ripper.
While I go inside to finish mending my jeans I let Willow borrow my camera to take some photos outside, and later I find some nice photos on the camera--
--and also all these photos that imply that she'd been running around the yard sticking my VERY expensive camera into holes and garbage cans and underneath the back porch, etc. Shudder.
We need to cook some ears of corn so Matt makes burgers while I straighten the living room and the girls play a "math game" on the computer:
Don't tell them that their "game" is just flash card drills, because they LOVE it. I set it to just give them arithmetic problems in the ones and twos because I'm encouraging Willow not to necessarily work the problem each time, but to see if she can remember the answer from the last time she worked it. Oh, and she accidentally wrote The Devil's Number:
Matt and I laughed and laughed, but don't even bother explaining to a kid why it's funny.
During dinner it turns out that Matt forgot to actually cook the corn, so we'll likely have burgers again tonight.
After dinner I wrote up a Crafting a Green World blog post about mending my jeans while the girls laid down with Matt and fell asleep while he played video games. I went in there like an hour later, only to find Matt sound asleep, as well. So I read some Neil Gaiman comics in the other bed.
Matt did wake up from his nap later, but that's another story...

Coffee Makers for Home Use
With more than half of adults in the U.S. and Canada drinking coffee on a daily basis, coffee makers are found in many homes today.
Choosing a Coffee Maker
Because of concerns about the product quality and safety of home appliances like coffee makers, NSF International developed several protocols under its Home Product Certification Program, including NSF Protocol P203: Residential Coffee Making Devices. This protocol establishes strict criteria for coffee makers intended for home use, addressing issues like product design, construction, materials and cleanability. As part of its certification, NSF also checks labeling and packaging information and validates any marketing claims being made for the product. Products certified under this protocol are eligible to display the NSF Certified for Home Use mark.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Coffee Makers
A 2011 germ study conducted by NSF International found that coffee reservoirs ranked as the fifth germiest place in the homes sampled. You can limit the potential for organisms to grow by establishing regular cleaning procedures:
- Wash removable components (filter baskets, carafes) after each use in the dishwasher (if marked dishwasher safe) or by hand in hot soapy water, rinsing thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Wipe outer surfaces of the unit daily with a clean, damp cloth.
- Clean internal components of the coffee maker every 40 to 60 brew cycles or at least once a month.
- Check your owner's manual for cleaning procedures recommended for your unit.
Tips for Using Coffee Makers
- Although leftover brewed coffee (black) is not considered a perishable beverage that requires refrigeration, reheating coffee can make it bitter. To reduce waste, consider brewing only as much coffee as you can consume in a single setting.
- Since water quality can affect the taste of brewed coffee, check the manufacturer's manual for recommended water type (purified, filtered, chlorine-free, etc.).
- If you choose to filter your own tap water, make sure the system is certified to remove contaminants in your water supply.
- When purchasing freshly ground coffee, purchase only what you can use within a week to 10 days, and store the grounds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- If purchasing a larger quantity of coffee than you can use in a week, place the unused portion in an airtight bag and store in the freezer until ready to use. For best quality, don't leave coffee in the freezer beyond three to four weeks.

Given the space this column has devoted to State of Origin eligibility during the past 12 months, it's as plain as the nose on the face of someone with quite a big nose that we have to address the ARLC's decision on the issue this week.
The first aspect of the decision – that you must live in a state before the age of 13 in order to be eligible for that state – is interesting in the way it surprised everyone.
Have you ever known rugby league to keep a secret like that right up until it was announced?
Once again, the commission has shown some grace by conducting its investigations, taking recommendations, and handing down decisions away from the glare of the media and the confusion of incremental leaks.
As Discord has said before, this sort of united, organised behaviour is bad for beat reporters like us but good for the game.
OK, a few questions thrown up by the ruling.
1) Can Greg Inglis still have his offspring born in Queensland and qualify for the Maroons if that child continues to live south of the border?
The question of what constitutes "living" in a state has not been explained. If you get straight out of hospital after being welcomed into the world and are then whisked to another state, who do you play for?
2) What happens to players raised in other Australian states?
This is not a problem, in my view. If you were raised in Western Australia or the Northern Territory, why should you play for NSW or Queensland? Wouldn't it be great to see those states play curtain-raisers to Origin with NRL players involved? NSW and Queensland nicking those players previously was unseemly and destructive.
3) Will clubs steal Kiwi players under the age of 12?
New Zealand high performance manager Tony Kemp seems to think so but there appears to be a misapprehension across the Tasman that the clubs work for NSW and Queensland. They do not. Club recruiters work for their clubs and there is no reason they will start signing tiny kids to help State Of Origin teams. If clubs don't sign 11-year-olds from New Zealand now, these new rules provide absolutely no incentive for them to start.
4) Can players represent an Australian state and a foreign country in the same year?
Sadly, the answer still appears to be "no". What the ruling has done is ease the problem that caused us to back that change. It would have been nice – but for the time being this regulation will slow the terrible trend of players who go to Australia purely to play professional rugby league then representing Australia. That was hurting the game and now won't happen as often. If you move with your family for economic reasons at a young age, you can play for Origin. If you go because an NRL club offered you a contract, you represent where you come from. There's beauty in it.
5) Does the rule apply to Australia?
OK, you still have to be eligible to play for Australia if you want to take part in Origin. But what if you moved here after the age of 13 and still want to represent Australia? Will you be eligible? Certainly, on residency grounds, you will be. That rule applies equally to all countries. So we'll have the completely new situation of men turning out in green and gold who are unable to ever play Origin! The first man to do this will be one helluva player, though.
6) So, can Feleti Mateo, Akuila Uate, Jarryd Hayne and Tariq Sims go back to representing other countries at the World Cup if they miss out on Australian selection?
They haven't told us yet. Please let us know. And please let the answer be "yes".
Discord also likes – and campaigned in our own small way for – the abolition of Benefit of the Doubt.
But how about what they've replaced it with?
If a referee makes a series of try calls on the field that are subsequently over-ruled by the video ref, but is otherwise officiating well, are we supposed to overlook it?
Will it count against him in appointments? Will it dent his confidence to "go public" with his opinion only to be over-ruled repeatedly?
Personally, I believe the more up-front and transparent we are at all stages of the decision-making process, the better.
But these are all issues worth considering.
On the shoulder charge, my understanding is that very little will actually change next season – in what will be seen by many as a softening of a stance that was unwelcome in many areas.
As long as the arm is out and not tucked in, all the same hits will occur. It's like challenging a kicker. If you get there too late or don't wrap your arms around him, you're in trouble but people still do it.
Sonny, just remember to have your arm out when you smash blokes and you're sweet.
Also, unless there is high contact, the incidents will not even be reviewed on Monday.
Let's go to the comments ...
Last week's column appeared in, at last count, three forms so I understand it was hard for you to leave comments. You can find an unedited version of it over at stevemascord.com.
You'll find all the responses to the previous week's column there too.
SamDavisJr said we should stop saying "star". It's all relative. They're not all stars in the context of the NRL but if you are a first grader, you are a star in the context of the wider community. Sorry mate, I'm gonna keep using it. They're stars to me.
Stojo01 supported my point about press conferences being pointless if no one asks a question.
Ian is one of a band of readers who responds to anything in the column (since it moved to the Herald) by saying "rugby league is dying". If you say so, Ian.

Little Amelia has no choice when it comes to picking a lucky number: It's got to be 11.
The British newborn, whose full name is Amelia Grace Poppy Allen-Miles, was born at 11:11 on Nov. 11. If you're keeping score, that's four elevens.
Amelia was due 15 days earlier but decided to arrive, weighing 6lb 15oz, as the clock struck the magic mark yesterday at Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital.
U.S. & World
Her mother, Holly Allen-Miles, 22, added the middle name of Poppy to mark Armistice Day and "to pay tribute to our brave troops," according to the Oxford Mail.
"I have quite a few friends who are in the Navy and some who are in the Army, including soldiers in Afghanistan, and I think they are incredibly brave," said the mom.

Second inaugration speeches are hard; you have to be political without sounding partisan, inspiring without being divisive — and promise change and progress even if you haven't accomplished what you wanted in the first term. The Obama address surprised me: He went left, making clear that he wants economic and social equality to be his final legacy. It's getting rave reviews in the lib-blogosphere, where it's been described as the speech liberals have been begging him to give for years. You can't argue with the content — he mentions gay rights, global climate change, equal pay, protecting social security, economic inequality, the need for collective effort … he even talks about reforming the tax code.
So now comes the hard part: The struggle for economic justice has to go beyond a compromise plan that limits higher tax rates to people earning more than $400,000 a year.
In fact, the best thing I read this weekend was a NY Times piece by Nobel-Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who argues forcefully that continued economic inequality is prolonging the recession. It's also destroying the nation's future:
Our skyrocketing inequality — so contrary to our meritocratic ideal of America as a place where anyone with hard work and talent can "make it" — means that those who are born to parents of limited means are likely never to live up to their potential. Children in other rich countries like Canada, France, Germany and Sweden have a better chance of doing better than their parents did than American kids have. More than a fifth of our children live in poverty — the second worst of all the advanced economies, putting us behind countries like Bulgaria, Latvia and Greece. Our society is squandering its most valuable resource: our young.
Stiglitz says what few in Washington want to admit: We can't get the economy going again without rebuilding the middle class, and we can't do that without higher taxes on the rich and a lot more public investment in education. Oh, and all this talk of how it's out of our control is bullshit:
There are all kinds of excuses for inequality. Some say it's beyond our control, pointing to market forces like globalization, trade liberalization, the technological revolution, the "rise of the rest." Others assert that doing anything about it would make us all worse off, by stifling our already sputtering economic engine. These are self-serving, ignorant falsehoods. Market forces don't exist in a vacuum — we shape them. Other countries, like fast-growing Brazil, have shaped them in ways that have lowered inequality while creating more opportunity and higher growth. Countries far poorer than ours have decided that all young people should have access to food, education and health care so they can fulfill their aspirations.
Makes me think about some of what I hear out of San Francisco City Hall. Oh, we can't do anything about economic inequality; that's a national issue. Or maybe it's a state issue. I bet there's not an elected official in town today who woudn't proclaim complete agreement with everything Obama just said — and there are very few of them who are trying to bring that message back home.
In San Francisco, we give tax breaks for businesses that create high-end jobs that drive poor people out of town. We happily seek development without considering the impact it will have on existing vulnerable populations. We even struggle over free Muni for low-income youth. We do nothing — nothing — to reclaim wealth from the 1 percent and put it into local housing, public education, and job-training that could make a dent in our local economic inequality.
Mr. Mayor: Are you even paying attention?

According to Realestalker, George Michael has belted out around $6 million for a five-bedroom beach house in the posh, oceanside town of Palm Beach, Australia. He will retreat there with his longtime American beau, Kenny Goss, as they jet back and forth between London's countryside and other travels.
Each bedroom in this beautiful, modern, coastal construction is built to face the Tasman Sea, with huge and airy great rooms just begggging for parties and entertaining. Not to mention the intimate infinity pool which will, no doubt, be swarming with the outrageous Aussie pals whom Michael has recently been spotted with.
But it's not all swimsuits and sangria for the rockstar, there's also a private study and some quiet thinking spots too. Sounds like the perfect escape.

Sarah Darer Littman: Event will capture the best spirit of competition
If you've never visited http://TED.com, you're missing out on cutting edge, inspirational thinking. The non-profit organization started out as a conference in 1984 to bring together people at the locus of three worlds: Technology, Entertainment and Design. Since April 2007, TED has made talks available for free on its website under a Creative Commons License to further its mission of "Spreading Ideas."
Characteristic of TED audiences is that they are "united by their curiosity, open-mindedness, [and] a desire to think outside the box." That certainly describes the members of the Youth@Bruce committee, who have worked with volunteer coordinator Mary Ann Lendenmann to organize the second annual TEDxYouth@Bruce event, "The Olympic Spirit: Capturing the Moment" on Saturday, March 31 from 1-4 p.m. at Greenwich's Bruce Museum. We are extremely fortunate that their hard work, energy, and innovative ideas have brought an event of this caliber to our doorstep. Youth@Bruce was the first museum youth group in the United States to organize a TEDx event.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, said, "The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
The speakers lined up for TEDxYouth@Bruce all exemplify de Coubertin's ethos.
Marlon Shirley, a gold medalist in the 2000 and 2004 Paralympic Games, is the first amputee to break 11 seconds in the 100 meters. He is a three-time world record holder and has been recognized as a "Role Model of the 21st Century" and with the US Olympic Spirit award. Shirley will be Skyping in from San Diego, where he is currently in training for track and the long jump for London 2012, about how overcoming childhood adversity was a key to his success as an Olympic athlete.
Caryn Davies, who won Olympic gold in 2008 for team rowing, will join attendees from Princeton, where she is currently in training for London 2012, to talk about working together to create a winning team.
Sarah Reinertsen, former Paralympic athlete, the first woman on a prosthetic leg to complete the Kona Ironman triathlon, and contestant on season 10 of the CBS reality show, "The Amazing Race," will discuss her life motto, "Fear Less, Live More."
Other speakers include orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Tim Greene on "The Science of Running"; author and New York Times contributing writer Michael Sokolove on "Capturing the Moment"; whitewater slalom bronze medalist Jamie McEwan on being "An Accidental Olympian"; Jason Rogers, Olympic silver medalist in men's team sabre and athlete ambassador for "Right to Play," on the process of training and preparation required to become an elite athlete; and Rob Prazmark, founder and CEO of 21 Sports and Marketing, a revolutionary figure in the field of sports and events marketing who has brokered more than $3 billion in sponsorship and media relationships. Prazmark will speak on "The Culture of the Games."
Kicking off the event will be a Skype visit from BBC journalist Dekan Apajee who as part of his "Dekan does 2012" series has been donning shorts and trainers (that's "sneakers" to us Yanks) and hitting the track to find out first-hand what it takes to become an Olympic and Paralympic athlete.
The TEDxYouth@Bruce is free to high school students and teachers but attendees are encouraged to register online at: http://tedxyouthbruce.com/registration due to limited space. If inspiration isn't enough of a draw, Chicken Joes and Pinkberry are providing refreshments. Grownups can view a live webcast at www.TEDxYouthBruce.com or watch the video on YouTube.com after the event.
Sarah Darer Littman is a Greenwich resident. Her fourth novel, "Want to go Private?" was published in August by Scholastic Press.

I have some really odd things happening with Poco 126.96.36.19900 under Win 7 x64, Home Premium.
When I installed Poco I had the User Account Control settings at minimum, but not off completely. When starting Poco, no UAC pop-up was displayed. I made all my theme and file location customizations and that worked fine, although I could not display an e-mail in a browser. That would fail with a "file not found" error. Also, Poco will not operate as the default mail client for website "mailto:" links. If I click the link on a page what I get is a blank e-mail with a string similar to "mailto:email@example.com" as an attachment. No address occurs in the TO field. I have not found a solution for this.
The other day I decided to turn off the UAC completely since I have a really good virus and execution control program. As soon as I did that, Poco lost all its custom settings and all my mail disappeared. I was able to reset file locations and get my mail back, but theme customizations had to be done all over again. Instead, I turned the UAC back on.
Today, I enabled "Run as administrator" on the Poco Icon. Now when I try to start Poco I get a UAC warning. And again ... as soon as I did that, Poco lost all its custom settings. Viewing an e-mail in a browser now works, though.
I find all this weird behavior rather disconcerting. It tells me that Poco is using different file and settings locations depending on privilege and UAC level. The reaction to the admin privilege seems backwards. It should trigger the UAC on low privilege and shut the heck up on high privilege, and it should use the same settings locations no matter what.
Another related concern is that Poco has not been updated in over two years, so this may mean that the code is "ignorant" of Win 7 requirements. I rely on Poco for my business e-mail and I archive all e-mail for record keeping. I need Poco to be viable on Win 7 and future OS's.
Has anyone found any solutions to any of the above?

After building homes and volunteering in Guatemala, members of Teenagers Inc. returned home from another successful service trip.
The 18-member group was able to learn about another culture and make a difference while in the Central American country for the third time. Teenagers Inc. not only volunteered at food banks and clothing distribution centers but also built homes while on the weeklong trip.
"It was great – it was wonderful," said Marianne Dwyer, director of Teenagers Inc. "The kids worked hard and loved the culture."
The teens built three homes for families, some of which had up to six children sharing a single room. One man for whom the group built a house earned the equivalent of $25 a month. Many of the families didn't even have beds to sleep on, something that changed by the end of the trip.
This year, after fundraising to offset the costs of the trip, Teenagers Inc. was left with an additional $1,500 that they put toward bunk beds and stoves for the newly constructed homes.
"We got to deliver the bunk beds and stoves to all the families," Dwyer said. "It was a very emotional time for them. It was different from all the other years when we didn't have the fundraising to be able to do that. Normally, they would have to sleep on a piece of foam on the floor."
For some members, this was their third consecutive year doing volunteer work in Guatemala. Others had never done anything like it before.
"Many want to volunteer long-term after college for six months to a year," Dwyer said of the teens' newfound sense of service. "That's the thing you hope to instill in the kids."
Dwyer said that despite all they had done while in Guatemala, not one of the teens ever complained about the hard work. She added that one of the teens on the trip said he "loves the people down there, loves doing the work and loves helping out and how he feels when he comes home."
On the last night in Guatemala, the teens went through a de-orientation program. They were told not to go home and feel guilty about having an iPod or other gadgets, but to just be grateful.
Through living with their host families, the teens were able to immerse themselves in the rich culture and become more appreciative and aware of the things they have back at home.
"I think it's an awesome project," Dwyer said. "They gave us more than we gave them with just their appreciation and love.

Press Release
The City of Colorado Springs is pleased to announce that our Westside Community Center will be recognized by University of Colorado Colorado Springs as the 2012 Civic Innovator of the Year. The center is receiving the award for our partnership with Woodmen Valley Chapel's Center for Strategic Ministry. The award will be presented during a luncheon hosted by the Peak Freedom Forum and UCCS on January 29 from 11:30 – 1:30 at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort.
The Civic Innovator of the Year Award is given annually by UCCS's Center for Study of Government and the Individual as a way to recognize and honor local individuals or organizations that are doing valuable, interesting, innovative work in the community through private sector initiatives that help address problems that may otherwise be left solely to government. Such was the case when the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department explored alternative operational models to address reduced funding for a number of its facilities in 2010. The resulting partnership with the Center for Strategic Ministry ensured the Westside Community Center would remain open while reducing its reliance on City funds.
Since formalizing the partnership in April 2010, services have continued and expanded to provide a well-rounded community center experience that includes everything from providing summer day camps and a reading mentor program for children to nutrition classes and a senior meals program for adults. On average, over 8,000 individuals participate in the Center's programs on a monthly basis. With such success, the partnership agreement was recently renewed through December 2015.
On hand to receive the award at the luncheon, and discuss the partnership, will be Dick Siever, Executive Director of the Westside Community Center, and City Liaison Kim King, Parks Administration, Recreation and Cultural Services Manager.

While for many the main draw to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival may be the incredible daily lineup of live music, for many others, the food selection reigns king. This is for good reason too—Jazz Fests vendors pull out all the stops, including local restaurants and caterers, some of whom prepare and serve their food for Jazz Fest exclusively out of the entire year. The offerings are wide-ranging, absolutely delicious and are a proud showcase of the food that represents the city.This year there are nine areas of the festival where you'll find food and drinks—as well as mini stations throughout the grounds—to keep you going throughout your long day at the Fest. Spread out throughout the fest, you can hardly turn around without having these vendor stands in eye shot, though a few areas are more prominent and varied than others. Food Area I, near the center of the map just passed the race track, and Food Area II, on the left side of the festival grounds in the center of the track, are by far the largest collection of food booths, where you'll find the majority of your Fest dining options.
The staggering amount of great food is far too much to name here, but we can include a few of the classics and some personal favorites. Crawfish bread (Panaroma Foods – Food Area I) is a quintessential favorite year after year as well as boudin and boudin balls (Papas Ninety Catering – Food Area I). Over in Food Area II, you'll find pheasant, quail & Andouille gumbo (Prejean's Restaurant) for a unique take on a local favorite as well as Oysters Rockefeller bisque from Food for Thought and Crawfish Monica from Kajun Kettle Foods, Inc.
Perhaps surprisingly, there are in fact healthier options at the Fest for those on a diet or simply looking to watch what they eat, despite the temptation to indulge. You can head over to Bennachin for African-style grilled chicken and jama-jama, or sautéed spinach over by Congo Square. For your seafood options, boiled crawfish (Smitty's – Food Area I) is another healthy option, with about half the calories of roasted, skinless chicken breast plus a high protein content as well as oysters on the half shell (J&M Seafood – Grandstand), which are also low in calories and packed with zinc and vitamin B12.
Despite the city's penchant for great seafood and meats, vegetarians too can find quite a few dining options to suit their dietary needs. Over in Food Area I you'll find fried green tomatoes from Cajun Nights Catering, a vegetarian muffuletta from DiMartino's Famous Mufulettas and vegetarian Ya Ka Mein from Ms. Linda's Catering. Or you can go for a simple corn on the cob from Lil's BBQ at Food Area I or over at the Kids Food area.
There's no shortage of great food at Jazz Fest year in and year out, and this year's offerings are sure to please and keep you satisfied all day and weekend(s) long. You'll have plenty of options to enjoy your favorites or try new things, so don't be shy—and prepare for some long lines!

Melt the butter in a mixing bowl and add the chopped basil.
Steam the lobster for about 4 minutes. To stop the cooking process, shock the lobsters in cold water and permit them to cool.
Heat the grill to moderately high and split the lobsters in half. Remove the meat from the claws.
Brush the lobster meat with the basil butter and place them on the grill. Cook them meat side down for about 3 ½ minutes.
Turn over and brush again with more butter. Continue grilling for about 3 ½ minutes with the shell side down.
Place the claw meat on the grill and cook for about three minutes.
Remove the lobster from the grill and serve with salad.
For the salad:
In a large pan cook the bacon until crispy. Drain and set aside until needed.
Use the same pan to heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and use it to sauté the chanterelles until they're golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
Add more oil to the pan and use it to cook the corn and the onion for about 2-3 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the corn is heated through.
Add the peppers and toss with the rest of the mixture until they are warm.
Add the mushrooms and frisee to the pan.
Toss for about one minute before adding the remaining oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.
Toss together until the frisee just begins to wilt, then add the bacon and serve with the lobster.

... as the state CEOs hate most.
California retained its ranking as the worst state in which to do business, according to CEO Magazine. Be proud: California has been No. 1 in those rankings every year that they've had rankings, going back to 2005.
What do the CEOs base that judgment on?
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
They don't like our relatively high income and sales taxes -- the CEOs are particularly unhappy about our 10 percent top bracket -- a bracket that only kicks in if you make more than $1 million per year. High unemployment is a problem. The power of unions -- unionization has climbed slightly over the past two decades in the state, even as it declines elsewhere -- is seen as a problem.
The CEOs do say we have a nice place to live, with Bill Dormandy, CEO of San Francisco medical device maker ITC, quoted as saying: "California has a good living environment but is unfavorable to business and the state taxes are not survivable."
One contrary note: Despite this CEO griping, CEOs and other rich people seem to see California as a destination, not a place to leave. The notion that high taxes drive away the rich is a myth, as the California Budget Project recently pointed out.

One of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is to look back at what all has happened during the year. I like seeing what all we have accomplished and what all we did. It is always so encouraging!! I started last year taking a look back at the year's highlights through the blog and thought I would do that again.
January - So I guess January was a slow month for us. I didn't have that much exciting on the blog. The weather was super warm all winter so we had lots of fun playing outside. I took a photography class and learned lots of great new skills that I used all year long. Kate's "twoness" also began to really show through. That was something we struggled with all year!
February - Things got a little more interesting in February. We celebrated a fun Valentine's Day as a family. We had a big blowout army themed party (part 2 and part 3) for Ben's 5th birthday. February was extra special because it had an extra day.
March - March was probably our biggest month of the year. I started with Ben turning 5!! Then it was off to 8 glorious days at Disney World (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7 & Day 8). It really was a magical trip we will remember forever. The month ended with potty training over Spring Break. It was definitely a break to remember (not in a good way).
April - We celebrated the resurrection of Jesus to start off the month! What a glorious celebration it was. Ben had his first Tball season. It was a fun experience for us all during the spring. The kids really enjoyed their trike-a-thon at school and we had a fun adult night out for my brother's birthday.
May - May was all about finishing up the school year and starting the summer fun. The kids had their end of year school program and last days. After all the school stuff was done it was all about jumping into the summer. We went on a fun zoo trip our first week. We also started daily trips to the pool and swimming lessons.
June - We packed alot into the month of June!! We finished up the redo of both kiddos rooms. We now have a princess room and Star Wars room. We took a fun trip down to Panama City Beach and marked some things off our summer bucket list. We also went to Bible School and started summer Bible Study. Matt and I celebrated nine great years of marriage. The big news was also that Andrew and Kelly were going to have a baby.
July - Things did slow down much is July either. We celebrated a fun 4th of July and did more things on our summer list of fun. Then we took an awesome fun weekend away to Atlanta (part 1, part 2, part 3). Kate and I enjoyed a fun tea with Granna. We finished up the month with another trip down to the coast.
August - August was a month of big changes for the Eckley family. We enjoyed Olympic fun at the beginning of the month. Then it was all about starting school. We did some back to school shopping and lots of orienting. Then Ben started kindergarten and Kate started back to school. Matt had a big birthday and we we were excited about the start of football season (that didn't turn out so well).
September - It was all about getting into our new school routine. Matt and I got to go to Elton John's concert which was totally awesome! Ben lost his first tooth and started soccer.
October - We enjoyed the start of fall with a fun trip to the mountains (part 1 & 2). There were also lots of fun fall activities including pumpkin carving and pumpkin patch visits. We ended the month with a very Star Wars Halloween.
November - November was another busy month that started with showers for Perry and the election. We went on a fun birthday trip for Matt's dad. Then it was all about a certain 3 year old. We had an amazing princess party (part 1 & 2). We finished up the month being very thankful for all we have been blessed with.
December - What a great way to finish out 2012! Matt got a new certification. We had a rough time with a stomach bug. I ran in my first race. We celebrated Christmas with the Eckleys, on Christmas Eve, at home and at the Easts. It was all wonderful!
Well that was 2012 in a nutshell for the Eckleys!!

Looking Back At 2012
One of my favorite things to do at the end of the year is to look back at what all has happened during the year. I like seeing what all we have accomplished and what all we did. It is always so encouraging!! I started last year taking a look back at the year's highlights through the blog and thought I would do that again.

Since Christmas
Posted by Emily at 7:30 PM 0 comments
Last Christmas!
Matt had to head back to work on Wednesday so he headed home. The rest of us spent the night! Something we never get to do at my parent's house. It was fun to wake up and have breakfast with them. The boys worked on putting Legos together.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! What a joyous day it truly is as we celebrate the fact that the God of the universe gave everything up to come to earth to save us from our sins. We pray that you all have an amazing celebration today.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. Luke 2:8-20

First Christmas
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. Luke 2:1-7

December 21, 2012 - The End Of The World
God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end." Luke 1:26-33

When a movie's major, above-the-title testimonial comes from Access Hollywood, Rex Reed, or a television station in New Mexico, chances are it's going to be a real turd of an operation. Penny Arcade is trying that in reverse with On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode One. They're flacking it with the rantings of an anti-Penny Arcade troll.
"Penny arcade sucks and is unfunny. please murder penny arcade and then yourself if you disagree with me," raves commenter ddf of Wired blog! He goes on to say, "this game sucks and anyone who likes it sucks. penny arcade sucks and is as funny as something that's not funny at all."
Well shit, ddf, that first one was pretty bulletproof. But the second I have two "funnys" I can lift out of context, including "penny arcade ... is ... funny!"
Destructoid did some snooping and found the guy is Denis Duckfat, a prolific, and repeatedly banned, troll on numerous comment boards since 2005. Apparently he has a fondness for William H. Macy and a loathing for anything remotely popular or fun. Sounds like a nice guy.

The latest recruit to UCLA football has a famous father who you may know as Diddy, P. Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy or Sean Combs.
Justin Combs, a 5-foot-9, 175-pound cornerback who played his high school football at Iona Prep in New Rochelle, N.Y., committed Monday night to UCLA, according to Scout.com. The rap impresario's scion was reportedly recruited by such major college programs as Illinois, Virginia, Wyoming, Tennessee tech and Middle Tennessee State.
"Today I am truly blessed and thankful to accept my scholarship and give my full commitment to UCLA," Combs said. "Playing Division I football was a lifelong dream of mine, and through hard work I was able to achieve it. I am a living testament that with a strong relationship with God, family, and hard work dreams do come true."
U.S. & World
Combs made the commitment on the same day the Bruins' coach, Rick Neuheisel, was getting fired. The team made the Pac 12 conference title game, but only because arch rival USC, which handed UCLA a 50-0 loss Saturday, is barred from the title game due to a scandal. He said he didn't mind the prospect of starting with a new coach "and a clean slate."
His famous father was understandably thrilled.
"As a parent, today is one of the proudest moments of my life," the mogul said. "This is everything a father could want for his son, for him to excel at what he loves to do and is truly passionate about. Justin is a shining example of what hard work, determination and a strong mentality can achieve. I am honored to call him my son and am happy that he is fulfilling his dream."
Scout.com rated Combs the 132nd best high school cornerback in the nation, and he made the Semper Fidelis All-America team. During this past season, he scored 12 touchdowns and took some snaps at quarterback in the wildcat offense. Combs told Scout.com he worked hard to attract the attention of colleges, and did not rely on his father's fame or influence.
"Most people think that he being my father, he helped get me the offers, but that's not true at all," he said. "I went out the whole summer, I went to all the 7on7s, all the college camps and I competed my butt off. I made the most of the opportunity. I did this myself. No one did this but me."
Earlier this season, Sean Combs made his presence known at a Gaels game, storming angrily onto the field after his son, who had relieved the team's struggling starting quarterback in the first half, wasn't calling signals in the second half. Iona Prep Head Coach Vic Quirolo waved the superstar off the field.
Later, Quirolo told the New York Post Combs is the most dedicated player he's ever coached.
"It's just his drive," the coach said. "I remember his freshman year he said he's gonna play Division I football. He's done everything in his power to do that."
Darla James, a Quirolo assistant, agreed.
"He could be like every other rich kid, but you have to give him credit, he works hard," James told ESPN. "His work ethic is tremendous, he is not a great football player because of his dad, it's because of all the work he puts into his game."
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story referred to the Pac 10 when it should have been Pac 12.

Shawn Harper first speaker at Pillars of America Speaker Series
Published: 04/25/2013 12:20:00
The Glacier Valley Rotary Club is hosting its 21st Annual Pillars of America Speaker Series. It kicked off this week with its first speaker Shawn Harper, a former NFL Offensive Tackle. We sat in while he was interviewed by Sharon Gaiptman on KINY's Capital Chat where he was asked "Who is Shawn Harper?"

"I actually consider myself an investor; the greatest investment as far as I'm concerned is people, because when you invest in people it has the potential of reaping generations of dividends. Basically I like to plant seeds under which the shade trees I will never sit.
Another one of my slogans is that you can often count the number of seeds in an orange, but you never can count the number of oranges in the seed. I was born and raised with practically insurmountable odds; everyone had written me off, I've had tons, tons of challenges ever since the age of three. All the way up until I begin to change my actual perspective of that from being a victim to a victor.
Victims tend to focus on what they're going through, victors look to what and where they're going to. And I had to change my perspective and once I began to change my perspective and my focus, I changed my life from being basically an underachiever to an overachiever in all aspects, including sports. Not really starting in high school football, or barely starting in high school football and then from there going to a junior college and then to Indiana University and being drafted third pick in the fourth round, playing several years in the NFL, until I reached what I thought and what society thought was the apex.
But just like a fruit tree, then it begins to bear fruit and I said 'You know what, there's probably thousands of other Shawn Harper's out there, millions of Shawn Harper's out there.' And so I've decided to share my fruit and hope enough seeds will plant and germinate in the lives of millions of young people out there."

The Best Steak Tartare in Honolulu
Steak tartare at BLT Steak
In a town where raw ahi is king, a good steak tartare is a rare find. But it was a search we undertook because there's something deliciously primal about raw beef. It's a staple of steakhouses, and we tried a number of them at Signature, Wolfgang's and Beachhouse. BLT Steak's trumped them all with its hand-chopped beef, chunky almost like poke, mixed with red onion and topped with fried capers for the perfect bite to cut through the meatiness.
$24, 223 Saratoga Rd., 683-7440, e2hospitality.com/blt-steak-waikiki
At Wada
Outside of steakhouses, we found few steak tartares to recommend; too many had mushy beef or served it still frozen, probably because it's easier to chop that way, but yuck! There were two non-steakhouse exceptions. At the Japanese restaurant Wada, which we already love for its Washugyu beef (a cross between Japanese Wagyu and American Black Angus) seared over a stone grill, we found a lovely and rich version with beef hand-sliced to order, spiked with sesame oil and chili and served with nori.
$12.50, 611 Kapahulu Ave., 737-0125, restaurantwada.com
At Budnamujip
All the beef at Budnamujip is excellent, so it's no surprise that its yukhoe, the Korean steak tartare, features prime quality meat. This is a refreshing tartare, with crisp Asian pear and fresh lemon, all mixed tableside with a silky egg yolk and paper thin slices of garlic. We wished the meat were finely diced instead of sliced—even great beef can get chewy when raw—and to be honest, after smelling all the meat cooking around us, at Budnamujip, we're probably always going to opt for our meat grilled over raw.
$28.95, 871 Kapiolani Blvd., 593-8822
The verdict: BLT Steak for the best beef tartare

The upshot: We calculate that:
- The number of uninsured has reached 1 million, or 14.5 percent of the state's population.
- Uncompensated care (bad debt and charity care at hospitals, clinics, etc.) is nearly $1 billion.
- And that both numbers are likely to continue to rise until 2014, when the major provisions of federal health care reform are slated to take effect.
- The percentage of residents without health coverage worsened in 31 of 39 counties.
- In several counties, more than 1 in 5 residents has no health coverage.
"This is a grim milestone for the state, and we believe the situation will remain bleak for two more years," said Kreidler. "But it's important for people to know that there is hope is on the horizon."
Counties with a particularly high percentage of uninsured residents include: Adams, Grant, Okanogan, Franklin and Yakima. But the problem also worsened in King, Pierce, Snohomish and Spokane counties.
The good news: Assuming that federal health care reform takes effect as planned, more than 800,000 uninsured Washingtonians will be eligible in 2014 for expanded Medicaid eligibility or subsidies to help low- and middle-income families pay for health coverage.
This is the third report on the uninsured our office has put out since 2006.

New Year's in Sedona
Mountain Man and I drove up there to celebrate New Years with wintry weather and good energy. And you know what cold weather means: wool-wearing!
On the first day up there, which was New Year's Eve, we took a long ramble around Courthouse Butte and Bell Rock. I wore my Eco-Wool Manzanita Cowl and my Manos Wild Rose Hat.
On New Year's Day, we took a longer, snowier hike up Bear Mountain for breathtaking vistas and high mountain air. It just so happened that both Mountain Man and I were wearing our Cambridge Watchcaps! He likes his shorter, I like mine longer.
(It was bittersweet to track down the old blog posts for those hats, by the way. I knit them four years ago, back when we were in Vermont, and the posts were full of memories for me.)
Anyways, as for Isis, she was in her element. This dog is built for snow! No wool needed.
It was stunningly beautiful to see all the shapes and textures of a desert snowfall. The soft snowdrifts ....
Against the spiky agaves ...
And spiny prickly-pear cacti ...
As for the trip's crafting, I mostly worked on my circular stockinette project, which isn't much to see at the moment. On the way up, though, I also whipped up a little case for my new camera:
It's improvised crochet, in a naturally-dyed churro yarn that I picked up at the Flagstaff farmer's market a while back. Rabbit brush and indigo, I think. And a mother-of-pearl button, glinting in the sun.

nice weekend! We were camping out in the elements as well, 15 degrees at night with a high of 28 during the day. The deer were very pushy looking for handouts, as well as a few raccoons who almost were hanging by the fire at night. Love the hat, must knit one!
- lexa said...
My dogs totally love snow, too. They haven't had any to play in yet this winter. We got one inch twice that was melted off by the morning.

I love your pictures...Sedona looks so pretty with snow! We were just there last summer but your pictures make me want to go back and see it in the winter! Isis looks so happy! She's so cute! Did you stop in at Knit Wits while you were in town? I love that shop! :-) Happy New Year!
- kathy b said...
What a lovely Family picture of the three of you. Really, it is wonderful. Love your knit hats!
- Sarah Jackson said...
I finally had to face the reality that I don't see you every week anymore and add you to my blog reader. Miss you and I'm so glad we saw you over your AZ break! xoxo

Sorry team, but the best way to not get keylogged is:
a) Dont try to cheat at anything
b) Get a credit card and pay for your god damn porn
c) Realise that you get NOTHING for free in life
Didn't see it on the thread (but then half blind so I may have missed it)
Been using this:
It seems to do a very nice job picking up the things my AVG misses.
And anyway, you can never have enough protection.
u all do understand tht all those programs can protect u from KNOWN keylogers only.
A custom made keylogger will cost u around 100$ on the net, and it is undetectable by anyhting for at least few months.

Im still waiting another hour to call blizzard to try and get it right im going threw the steps now so I hope it gets fixed if I do have a keylogger my anti virus didn't pick it up. Only thing i noticed latly is it told me I had something funny going on with fraps "that I legitly paid for yes its true some people pay for it" and now im a little pissed off at that.
great guide
I don´t play wow
Wow plays me
use COMODO Internet security (dont instal antivurus, instead of comodo AV install ESET Nod 32 or Kaspersky (other suckz) and install firewall and Defend +. Specially Defend+ will ask you for authorization every file or process want to work with. so i u dont allow keyloger to acces your keyboard u will be safe fo eva.
Hi Magekid ,
You have posted very useful information here.I was searching for such a information of clean the desktop.You have deeply make understand to us.
Thanks buddy for such a useful information.
Glad that some people actually wanna help others out keeping their accounts safe ^_^
http://www.malwarebytes.org/ this is free and will pick up everything and so many things the others wont
and this http://www.avast.com/ is free and does the job of stopping any unwanted connections and self updates.
There is a problem with that, the authenticator is only for your game login, the code is only valid for firsttime its logged in, so the key to your account is reset, can't get into your account if you have a rolling key thats only good for one loginOriginally Posted by degonite
so >_> does this work on a mac?

Juan Roman Riquelme always attracts his fair share of attention, no matter whether he is playing the game or talking about it. Even at the age of 34, the Argentinian sorcerer has continued to shine on the pitch, serving up assists and scoring goals aplenty in Boca Juniors' run to the Copa Libertadores final earlier this year.
Now unattached after deciding to leave Los Xeneizes, the straight-talking Riquelme is also known for his gift for a quotable quip whenever a microphone is near, as FIFA.com reveals with this collection of his most memorable observations on life and football.
"Everyone feels the game in their own different way. People say I never smile when I play but I've never seen [Zinedine] Zidane laugh, whether he's winning or losing, and he's the greatest there's been for the last ten years."
In 2006, on his character on the pitch
"The day I stop enjoying playing football is the day I go and have tea with my mum."
On the pleasure he gets from the game
"Bianchi is the greatest, but he should settle for what he's already won and never coach Boca again. He's the best there is and the club should put up a statue of him, but he should stay at home and play with his grandchildren."
*A piece of advice for Carlos Bianchi, the most successful coach in the history of Boca Juniors and forever tipped to return to the job one day*
"I didn't kill anyone. All I did was miss a penalty."
On missing from the spot in Villarreal's UEFA Champions League semi-final defeat by Arsenal in 2006
"I love Boca. If I didn't, I wouldn't be working here for free. I'm the only idiot who works for free, so I don't think anyone can come and lecture me about my responsibilities."
In 2009, on his unique contract with the club, which saw him play unpaid for 12 months
"I've decided that I'm not going to play for the national team any more. I didn't have to give it much thought. The fact that I had to take my mum's health into consideration made it a pretty easy decision to take. There have been a couple of times when the criticism I've had between the World Cup and now has gone too far. There's a lot of bad blood and it's my duty to look after her. I love my old dear like mad. Who am I to make her suffer?"
On quitting international football at his mother's request, after Argentina's exit from Germany 2006
"I found out I wasn't selected for the friendly in France by listening to Carlos Bilardo on the radio. I only heard today that they tried to contact me. I've got my way of doing things and it's not the same as the coach's. There's no doubt in my mind that we can't work together and I'd rather give my place to someone else."
*On ending his international career yet again in 2009, citing differences with the then Argentina coach Diego Maradona *
"My father never thinks I play well! With him there's always something wrong. Even if the press say I had a good game, he'll come along and remind of all the passes I misplaced. He always has high expectations of me, but I think that's good. It stops me resting on my laurels."
On his relationship with his father, in an interview with FIFA.com
"There wasn't anything on it. It was all about delaying the kicks that bit longer and making our penalty-takers think he knew where they were going to shoot. I remember that [Esteban] Cambiasso struck his kick at medium height, which he'd never done in training. But Lehmann still guessed right, which doesn't add up. If you ask me, the piece of paper had nothing on it, but in any case he did a good job. He was very sharp in the way he tried to put our players off."
Riquelme gives FIFA.com his version of the quarter-final penalty shootout with the host nation at Germany 2006, in which Germany keeper Jens Lehmann repeatedly consulted a piece of paper supposedly detailing how Argentina's players liked to take their spot-kicks.
"Messi is the greatest, the best in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo is like the ideal PlayStation player, the kind that can score with his right foot and his left. Plus he's fast, tall, good in the air, scores penalties and free-kicks, and is skilful. But the one who plays this game the best is Iniesta: he knows exactly when to go forward and when to drop back. He picks the right moment to do everything: when to dribble, when to speed things up and when to slow things down. And I think that's the only thing that can't be taught or bought. You can learn how to shoot and how to control the ball, but being aware of everything that's happening out on the pitch – that's something you're either born with or you're not."
On Andres Iniesta, in an interview with FIFA.com
"I'm quitting now. I love this club, I love the fans and I'll always be grateful because I am, and will always be, a Boca fan. I feel empty now though."
Riquelme bids a final farewell to Boca Juniors after their defeat to Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores 2012 final
"I'm over 30 and I didn't need a coach. There was nothing Falcioni could teach me. What was he going to show me? How to keep goal?"
*On Boca coach Julio Falcioni, after leaving the club *
"I've always said that Yepes comes out of that move better than I do. It's a clásico, we're 3-0 up and then I go and do that. Any other player would have booted me but he tracked me all the way to the corner and didn't do anything. I think that's more manly than pulling off a nutmeg in a game like that."
On Mario Yepes, the victim of an outrageous Riquelme nutmeg when Boca met River Plate in a Copa Libertadores quarter-final tie in 2000
"The ball has given me everything. Just like little girls love dolls, the best toy I've ever had, or could ever have, is a football. The person who invented it is a true hero: nobody can top that."
On his special relationship the ball, in an interview with FIFA.com

Adlai Stevenson and American politics : the odyssey of a Cold War liberal /

"If Adlai Stevenson was not unique," writes Jeff Broadwater, "he was unusual. Presidential candidates who, despite repeated defeats, have been able to retain a devoted following and a visible role in the public life of their day can be counted on one hand." Admirers and detractors alike could agree that Stevenson - who lost back-to-back races as the Democratic nominee for president to the popular Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s - was one of the most eloquent and powerful voices of the decade. In Adlai Stevenson and American Politics, Broadwater illuminates the life and times of a remarkably engaging and influential politician.
Despite his twin defeats to Eisenhower, Stevenson had an impressive public career: as a young lawyer in FDR's New Deal administration, as special assistant to the secretary of the navy in World War II, as an advisor on the creation of the United Nations after the war, as governor of Illinois from 1949 to 1953, as ambassador to the United Nations in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Yet among his finest moments, Broadwater writes, were his campaigns for the presidency, when he managed to rally a demoralized, divided Democratic party and to give the American public - for the last time in recent history, according to some pundits - a choice between two good candidates, not merely the lesser of two evils.
Prized for his wit and respected for an integrity rare in the rough-and-tumble of American politics, Stevenson was also faulted for his indecisiveness, evidenced in his lengthy ruminations over whether to run for the presidency in 1952, 1956, and even 1960, when John F. Kennedy won the Democratic nomination. A champion of U.S. responsibilities in world affairs, of the democratic process, and of honest efficient government, Stevenson has since the late 1960s come under fire from some historians for failing to speak out against the war in Vietnam and for showing little regard for civil rights or economic justice. Yet he could also be far-sighted: Stevenson was an early advocate of what we now know as Medicare and an early sponsor of the first nuclear test ban treaty.
Broadwater presents a clear-minded view of Stevenson in all his guises, ultimately depicting a flawed yet vital human figure who above all else sought to participate in the great events of his day. Under the pressures of McCarthyism and the cold war, Stevenson forged a liberal agenda that, while keeping a wary eye on communist expansion, stressed the vindication of individual rights and ethics in government. He came to embody what to the contemporary ear sounds like an oxymoron - cold war liberalism - but left as a legacy what many Americans today clamor for in their public officials: an abiding decency that expresses itself in genuine action for the public good.
