I love Only Hearts. As a New York-based retailer, I deeply admire what founder Helena Stuart has accomplished with the innovative shop she founded more than 30 years ago, growing the Only Hearts brand into a unique lifestyle statement. That's why I just added a range of wonderful pieces from the 2013 collection to the brand assortment available at ThePinkSlip.com. Only Hearts, which Helena describes as inner-outerwear™, is a full range of classifications including intimates, sleepwear, dresses and more, all proudly made in New York City's garment district. The line is fabulously girly with clean lines, soft colors and cozy fabrics figuring prominently throughout. The girly energy doubled 11 years ago when Helena's talented daughter Kaya joined the firm and the company officially became a family affair. I recently chatted with Helena about her inspirations, the evolution of the intimates market and the joys of working with family.
Margo Andros: Helena, what inspires your approach to designs?
Helena Stuart: I think most designers would agree to having an inner drive to see the world in their own way. This is the core of what motivates me; I just start from the inside out.
Margo: How have you seen the intimates market change over the years since you founded Only Hearts?
Helena: When I trademarked inner-outerwear in 1980 there was no contemporary lingerie market. A camisole was strictly an underpinning, not to be worn on its own as a top. So things have changed a lot! It's been wonderful to be a part of this evolution, to see a full circle acceptance and appreciation of showing a little bit of what's underneath.
Margo: How has the Only Hearts brand evolved over time?
Helena: It's hard to summarize, briefly, almost 34 years in business, especially manufacturing in New York City's Garment District! When I started, I was using only black and white, mostly cotton. Currently we use a rainbow's range of colors, textures, and fabrics from all over the world. Also, the original Only Hearts customer was in her twenties, my age when I founded the business. Over the years we've grown together, and her daughter is now another core part of our customer base.
Margo: What key trends is Only Hearts offering for 2013?
Helena: Only Hearts is not really a 'trendy' brand. We're doing a lot of color blocking and patchwork ideas, which haven't looked fresh to me in a while. Also, a big interest in burlesque / erotica inspired lingerie.
Margo: What's it like to collaborate with your daughter Kaya?
Helena: It's a gift! I consider myself to be very lucky not only to see her most days, but to get to know her as a creative thinker and problem solver outside the roles within our (large, traditional, ITALIAN) family.
Margo: You're indeed very lucky to have her. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with my followers, Helena.
Helena: You're welcome. It was a pleasure!
Now that we know the inspiration, here's a look at some of my faves from the Only Hearts assortment at ThePinkSlip.com.
Delicious Chemise
This chemise, in delicious microfiber, fits closely to your body while feeling incredibly soft next to your skin. Delicate lace accentuates the neckline and hem of the chemise, creating sleepwear that looks as good as it feels.
Organic Cotton Skinny Tank
Only Hearts' signature skinny tank in 100% organic Supima cotton has an easy fit and a wonderful feel. The straps are wide enough to conceal your bra straps, which is perfect for everyday wear. Great for sleeping, playing, wearing out, anyway you wear it it. It's the perfect closet essential.
Silk Mini Slip
Our favorite Only Hearts mini-slip combines the lusciousness of silk accentuated with beautiful lace detailing for ultimate sexiness. It's a beautiful layering piece, in an easy-to-wear, under-it-all slip.
Second Skin Strapless Convertible Bra
This strapless bra gives you full coverage with just the right amount of lift and support. Part of Only Hearts' Second Skin collection, this underwire bra truly feels as soft and as natural as your own skin! It comes complete with a convertible strap, from strapless to one-shoulder to halter-style.
I hope you enjoyed our special peek at the new offerings from Only Hearts. It's literally a brand with a lot of heart!

The library has four printers: two on Floor 1 and two on Floor 2.
Floor 1:
Floor 2:
PaperCut is a software application that monitors student printing across campus, as well as student photocopying in the library. PaperCut has been installed to reduce wasteful paper and toner consumption, which has a negative impact on both the environment and expenses. The print management program will encourage students to "think before they print and copy." Implementing this program will permit you to print or copy what's needed for coursework while controlling problems of unnecessary printing and copying.
PaperCut shows each student how much they've printed and copied. Print and copy activity is applied against each student's printing allotment. Allocations are shown below. A short IT Video explaining allocations is available here. Please note that a requirement for receiving points is logging into a campus computer during each semester in order for the points to get allocated to a student.
Every student PC has the Toshiba print queue listed as a printer--this is where your documents go when you select Print. Then go to a Toshiba printer, swipe your student ID card (card swipe is located on the left-hand side of the printer), and the printout will print!
All students will be given a 4000 point printing allotment* each semester to apply toward printing and copying in that semester. This allotment is applied on the first day of class. Prints and copies will be charged against the credit as follows:
The 4000 points per-semester allocation is equivalent to 800 single-sided prints or copies. Unused amounts will rollover to subsequent semesters, until your account reaches the cap of 8000 points**. (Please note that unused PaperCut points cannot be refunded.)
*Printing allotment points are not refundable and unused points are not redeemable for cash.
**A system upgrade required a cap on points. Any points purchased that exceeded thie cap amount may be refunded.
Any student registered to attend classes during summer sessions receives a 1000 point PaperCut printing and copying allotment.
Once you've exhausted your 4000 points, you can add more points (buy more paper) with Mount Money. If you have Mount Money on your ID card, you can follow the instructions in the PaperCut box to add additional points to your print/copy allocation. If you don't already have Mount Money, you can add cash to your card at the MSMC Student Financial Services Office. If additional points purchased do not display, contact this office of the IT Department at x3491. (Please note that unused PaperCut points, even if purchased with cash or Mount Money, cannot be refunded.).
You can use the MSMC Mobile app to buy more paper.
PaperCut will display a small box (or widget) when you are logged into the MSMC network.
Click on the "Details" link to access your PaperCut account. Use your MSMC network username and password to log into your account.
Your PaperCut account will show how much copying and printing you have done. This is where you can add additional points to your account. PaperCut will also depict your printing/copying activity in terms of energy and resource use. This reinforces the importance of being mindful about printing and copying only what you need.
You will see the PaperCut widget when you login to a computer in a classroom lab or in the library. However, you can continue to print (or make copies in the library) even if you exceed the 4000 point allotment.
Yes, active alumni can still print from the computers in the library. Each active alumni will have an annual printing allottment of 1,250 points applied every July 1st, which is about 250 pages.
You can request an adjustment to your printing allocation so those unusable pages of that print job can be added back in to your printing allocation. Please note that these adjustments can take up to two business days to process. See this video on requesting adjustments.
All copiers in the MSMC Library are connected to the PaperCut system. Swipe your ID card in order to make copies. All photocopies, whether black, color, single- or double-sided, use points from your PaperCut allotment in the same way as prints.
Students, faculty, and staff need to be "acknowledged" by the PaperCut system. You will encounter this situation only once if you haven't ever signed on to a library PC. Once you sign on to a PC, you can log out of the PC and then you will be able to use the copiers.
People from outside the Mount Saint Mary College community will need to see a staff member in order to use the Library's photocopiers. The charges for using the photocopiers are
Learn more about using PaperCut to copy.
If you try to print a document directly from eClass, the document may not print. To avoid this situation, save any document you view in eClass and want to print to your Desktop. Then open the document from your Desktop and then print it from there.
PaperCut allows for black and white, double-sided printing from laptops to Library printers. This IT Short video explains the process.
Learn more about using PaperCut to print from a laptop to Library printers.
There are two methods for scanning:
1) Once you've swiped your ID card on a Toshiba printer/copier, you can scan a document into pdf format on to a USB drive that you provide. Insert your USB drive into the port on the machine, press the Scan button, and follow the instructions on the display panel.
2) If you don't have a USB drive, you can scan a document and automatically save it to your H drive or email it to yourself. After swiping your ID card, press the eFile button and follow the instructions on the display panel. Scans can then be saved to your H drive (into a folder called Scans) or emailed to your my.msmc.edu address. You can scan as fully functional Word or Excel files, as plain text, or as pdf images. Please note that there is no way to change the email address it scans to or the H drive it scans to, since the process is tied specifically to you once you swipe your ID card.
Scanning does not deduct points from your PaperCut account.

West Coast Catholic-Muslim Dialogue Compares Sacred, Pious Writings
WASHNGTON—Catholics and Muslims compared sacred and pious writings atthe 11th meeting of the West Coast Catholic-Muslim Dialogue, in Orange, California, May 19-20. The dialogue is co-sponsored by the Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Islamic Shura Council of California, with the cooperation of the Islamic Society of Orange County (an affiliate of the Islamic Society of North America) and the Islamic Education Center of Orange County, which is in the Shia tradition of Islam.
Participants compared the miraculous story of the "Seven Sleepers of Ephesus," found in early Christian writings, with its correlative reference in Surah 18 of the Qur'an, known as "The Cave." The story involves seven young men who fled persecution by the Roman Emperor Decius (circa 250 AD) and hid in a cave. Furious, the Emperor had the cave sealed. However, the Lord placed the young men into a miraculous sleep and when the cave was opened generations after the persecution ended, the sleepers awoke thinking they had slept but a few hours. A chapel and a mosque mark the site to this day.
The meeting opened with remarks by Catholic Co-chair, Bishop Carlos Sevilla of Yakima, Washington, and Muslim Co-Chair Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi of the Islamic Society of Orange County. Both remarked that Islamophobia continues to be a problem in society as is antipathy towards religion in general. This stands as a problem not only for Catholics and Muslims but also for all people of faith in U.S. society, they indicated.
Dr. Siddiqi led the discussion with a paper titled, "Ashab al-Kahf - The Companions of the Cave." He spoke first to the historical context of the story as it appears in the Qur'an, and explained that it was first told during the Meccan period when the early Muslim community experienced persecution at the hands of the polytheists. The community eventually had to leave Mecca, many to hide in caves. Thus, the passage holds particular significance for Muslims, and especially offers comfort in times of trial. The tale's main value, Dr. Siddiqi said, lies not so much in the details of the narrative, but rather in its moral lesson that God has unique ways of helping those who are sincere and faithful. It also provides a strong affirmation of the resurrection of the dead. In the ensuing discussion, many Catholic participants commented on how helpful it was that the story dwelt less on detail, and more on the moral truths inherent in it. Participants also noted the elements of belief in the resurrection from the dead, to which both groups could relate. Other emergent themes included the need for divine help and the support of the believing community in the face of persecution.
The second dialogue session began with a presentation by Father Alexei Smith, Ecumenical and Interreligious Officer for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, who presented a paper entitled "The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus" from an Eastern Christian perspective. He began with a short explanation of how the saints are honored in the Church as witnesses to the faith and are those to whom Christians can turn to for help. He noted that veneration of the saints differs from worship, which is reserved for God alone. Father Smith illustrated how the Seven Sleepers are honored in the Church as martyrs (witnesses) for the faith in the Eastern Churches' liturgical and devotional life. The Muslim participants saw the Christian story as a manifestation of the power of God, especially in its affirmation of the resurrection. Both groups noted that the two narratives reveal God's care for the young men who remained faithful.
In addition to the Co-chairs, other Muslim participants included Sherrel Johnson, Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) - California; Imam Taha Hassane, Islamic Center of San Diego; Mr. Hussam Ayloush, CAIR - Greater Los Angeles Area; and Saideh Khan and Jerrel Abdul Salaam, active members of the local Muslim community. Catholic participants included Father Smith; Father Al Baca, Diocese of Orange, California; Father Jose Rubio, Diocese of San Jose; Father Michael Kiernan, Diocese of Sacramento; Msgr. Dennis Mikulanis, Diocese of San Diego; and Father Leo Walsh, USCCB staff.
The next West Coast Dialogue is scheduled for Orange, May 24 -25, 2011. More information is available on the USCCB Website at http://www.usccb.org/seia.

if its storytime they want…
So, not content with being BETTER storytellers than I am, both BRK and Dagashai have to rub it in my face with a fast followup. Very well, I accept. Twice, even.
Way back when I was earning my first degree in college, I needed to earn pocket change. Among other ways, I began shuttling a few of my fellow students. Now, on this particular trip it was students in a medical course – remember we're talking bachelor's degrees, here, folks. Nurses, wannabe doctors, that sort of thing. One of the classes was a sort-of practicum – for those confused, that means on-the-job training without a paycheck. Anyway, they spent an hour to a week at various medically related tasks. Now, either the coordinator for this was one of those "must do ALL field" types, or a bit of sadist, or maybe both. Regardless, one of the tasks was to watch an autopsy.
This class caused a lot of people to change majors. Go figure. Anyway…
Now, I didn't know what was on the schedule. I'd pick up the three no-vehicle fellow students and take them to class, sit around in the class if I could, in a lobby if not, and take them back so I could get to my class. One last touch, and we're ready. That touch – I tended to grab my lunch on this trip, and eat it at the destination.
My passengers didn't tell me this day's destination. Oh, "The hospital" was regular enough, but… autopsy.
So, I get in the upper level, out of the way of the class, open my bag, take my first bite, and the doctor starts with the cutting and such. And no, you're wrong. See, I'm blessed with what is probably best described as a stainless steal stomach. I can eat in pretty much any conditions if I'm hungry, and if I _AM_ hungry things don't tend to shut it down. Case in point, I'm doing quite well, though a couple of students on the back row who have turned to see me have fled with hands over mouths. It may have been what I was eating, but since there were OTHER students who couldn't see me, it may have just been the cutting – the sight, the sound, the smell. No, the room didn't clear till the doctor looked up and called, loudly, "Is someone eating hamburgers up there?"
gulp. "Yes sir."
"Do you have any fries?"
"Yes sir."
"May I have some?"
heh – I've an evil mind. "Sure," I say, and carry my bag down. The doctor grabs some – and a napkin – and heads back to the table. And, after yet another cut, eats some.
Frankly, the dipping plus comment, "hmm, was that ketchup or…? Oh, well" was overkill. The first bite cleared the room of all but two of the students who were supposed to get grades.
Twice, I said. I am an insensitive asshole. I'm a LOT better than I was, and I thought I'd tell on myself as to how bad I used to be.
Almost 20 years ago now I married a woman who is a better person than I'll ever be. As it happens we have the same birthday, though she is younger than me by a few years. As a digression, no, this is not cute. Oh, it is the first couple of times, but how do you throw a party for her without it seeming you're doing it for yourself as well? But as I said, I digress. I return to our first year of marriage, our mutual birthday some 8 months into the life. We agree, being VERY tight with funds, not to give each other gifts. We'll just go somewhere nice – well, as limited by our finances – and go from there. Oh, yes – we get to dinner and she gives me a birthday card. Oops, didn't think to get one. sigh. But I'm not done flagellating myself yet.
We finish a very nice dinner courtesy of the fact that so many restaurants then used to give free or major discount meals on birthdays, and decide to stroll through the mall. And we pass a bookstore. We were, ARE, both bibliophiles. And for that matter, both recent recipients of our Masters degrees in Library Science. So, of course, I decide to duck in. And spot JUST THE THING. "AHA," goes I, "I MUST get this book."
"So," goes my lovely wife, "what did you get?" Smugly, I hand the bag to her. And demonstrate…
"It's the next book of that series I've been trying to complete. Finally, I've got the whole thing."
I did not get The Lecture until we got home. It was loud. It was long. And looking back, it was far less than I deserved.
I was a selfish, insensitive… no, scratch was. I AM still such. I'm just better — all I have to do is recall this (with much wincing these days) to know that.
2 Responses to "if its storytime they want…"
[…] with other people's fun. If you're not a selfish pig — and I've learned better — other peoples' fun matters […]
[…] ball is tomorrow, and if it was just me I'd probably be eyeball deep all day. As I said in another post, however, I've tried to outgrow such […]

I have created a new set of reports that provide an informal indicator of the migration patterns of integrated library systems. This report automatically generates counts of ILS migrations by year, with a breakdown of the previous automation systems used. In addition to the counts, links execute queries that list the specific libraries involved.
ILS Turn-over report: counts and lists the automation systems recorded as selected or installed in 2009 with a breakdown of the previous systems displaced. (Counts are generated dynamically.)
Reverse ILS Turn-over report: counts and lists the systems that were recorded as replaced in 2009, with a breakdown of the new systems that were selected to replace them. (Due to system performance reasons, this static page reflects counts as of Feb 4, 2010.)
These reports should not be considered as comprehensive, but only represent the data in lib-web-cats. Tools such as this will become more powerful as more libraries contribute information on their current and previous automation systems to lib-web-cats. Please review, update, or submit information on your library if you have not already done so.

[Black Cobain:]
Destinies fulfilled off the filling from the pillow talking
How you killing my highs I hope you built the coffin
I got virgin lungs please excuse the coughin
Think I'm bout to blow, they call me George from boston
Respect is never given so I confiscate it
Get acquainted with mine I get them aclamated
Cherry red dice I'm a gambling man I'm never taking twice
Had to escape the life
This ain't for all and every people, don't compare me to rappers
I'm trying to be like The Beatles,
Give me some soul money, niggas is gassed up
Tell them to keep it running, I'm keeping the grass cut
No snakes, royalty hating niggas don't get no pussy
So it's more for me, she invited me in her mouth
You know it's cordially we throwin' racks, she said please don't talk to me
All my niggas is winning, shout out to Charlie Sheen
I spitting bars the metronome the money machine
A money machine, of course I'm trying to be the king that was part of my dream
And Wale told me fuck ya'll, so we fuck ya'll, we don't love ya'll
Loud B.O.T. above y'all, patron at 4 am, fuck the last call
The way your heard of that, the way yo heard of y'all
Dogging, Hard listen mean mugging
For when niggas don't see their C's till they see the judges
Dark side of town, baby mama blues,
When drama ensues niggas and dama can sue
Old lying ass defensive ass boys
Why you knock that bitch up if you can't tend it out boy
I'm a tenant my opinion is monumental
I'm here forever, these other niggas scribble in pencil
Got indelible colors, only look where they're buzzing
I'm at Dallas with luggage fly straight to the money
And you don't understand my slang my colloquial's lovely
So they quote me and love me like I'm a poet or something
Hoe I kick it, I punt it like Reggie Roby or something
Shady bitches'll feel me, Reggie Smokers disgust me
Make the least of you haters, make the most of your money
Have that consistence drive long as your motor's running
I used to heat up mama house by opening ovens
Now mama see that shit on Oprah and know that it's coming
That's real shit, it's bigger than rap, my nigga Cole busy, but genius is back
I light up my spliff take a sip of my yack
Thinking back of when the city weren't thinking of rap
They weren't thinking of rap, they weren't giving a fuck
Now everywhere I go they be giving it up
I seen it all from a dime to a quarter
They had that rocking like a Park that's word to Mike Shinoda
Shout out to captain Ginnny and free my nigga Ricky
We always pray for polo, we miss you little Penny
We skip college, chase dollars and black pennies
Not in the kingdom of Zamunda but it's mad semi's
Where bad bitches with bad intentions just act friendly
This where they love you then they hate you, go and ask Fifty
Yeah, go and ask fifty
They love you then they hate you, go and ask fifty
Go and ask fifty, hating ass nigga, sweeter than sibling
Who got the juice nigga?
Juice nigga,
Juice nigga,
Work, work, work, work, work.

With interest in Kenner retro vintage style Star Wars action figures growing in popularity, Super7 brilliantly pulled one of the more pleasantly surprising reveals by announcing that they will be producing retro action figures based on Kenner's unproduced 1979 Alien prototypes.
On display were unpainted copies of Kane in spacesuit and an Alien Xenomorph. The figures will be faithfully designed and articulated to that era and so will the packaging. Other figures planned include Ash, Dallas, and Ripley. The assortment is appropriately branded as ReAction. A set of '70's style Alien Burger King styled glasses are also planned.
Also shown at their booth was an unpainted prototype mold of their forthcoming and highly anticipated Super Shogun Fett.

Marc Jacobs goes sunbathing
Half the fun of attending a Marc Jacobs fashion show is deciphering what it all means. It's never easy.
Just walking into his Fall 2013 show at the Lexington Avenue Armory Thursday night — the final show of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week — begged the question: Why is that giant, blinding circle of light hanging in the middle of the armory, and making everyone look jaundiced? A "Land of the Midnight Sun" theme? Harvest moon? "No flash pictures!" security pleaded. What — will the orb explode?
The crowd, including front-rowers Christina Ricci, Miley Cyrus, Deborah Harry and Sofia Coppola, watched from a ring of stepped seating like an ancient Greek theater surrounding a circular runway.
Haunting choral music serenaded as models circled round, garish and hepatitis-y in glittery metallic skirts, suits, short shorts and coats, one topless woman demurely covering herself with her arm. Hair and makeup hinted of a rumpled, bitter Pat Benatar.
After the models exited, they returned for a second round with the lights turned up. Now you could see the pieces weren't all gold — there's a sparkly chocolate pencil skirt, camel coats, emerald and ruby numbers, office-ready cable knits, a smart shirtdress. Rocking a '40s Hollywood vibe were high-waist shorts, Jean Harlow-like satin pajamas and Oscar-worthy gowns, plus ankle strap shoes.
The message? Things are not as they seem? Worshipping golden idols blinds us? Dawn of a new day? Hard to say. But beyond the astronomical Con Ed bill, one thing was clear — the clothes were, wearable, pretty. And that's gold for retailers.

Well, it's Christmas time again, so we're posting recipes for traditional Greek Christmas sweets for you. Today it's Melomakarona, which is my particular favourite, and tomorrow I'll be posting the recipe for Kourambiedes.
In between Christmas and New Year I'll post the recipe for Vassilopitta, which is the traditional New Year cake in Greece, with the good-luck charm or coin in it.
1st mix
500g sunflower oil
400g fresh orange juice
50g icing sugar
30ml brandy
1 tsp soda diluted in 1 tbsp lemon juice
Grated rind from 1 orange
2nd mix
1100g flour
100g fine semolina
7g cinnamon
4g grated cloves
3g grated nutmeg
10g baking powder
For the syrup
500g water
700g sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
1 orange cut in half
100g honey
For the decoration
60g honey preferably thyme
150g roughly grated walnuts
First prepare the syrup and let it cool because you need the syrup to be cold and the melomakarona to be hot when you dip them in the syrup.
Put all the syrup ingredients apart from the honey in a pan and bring to the boil for 2 minutes.
Remove from the heat, add the honey and stir, then set aside to cool.
In a shallow pan mix all the ingredients from the 1st mix. Mix them really well by hand, not by mixer.
In a mixing bowl mix all the ingredients from the 2nd mix.
Gradually add the ingredients from the 2nd mix into the pan with the 1st mix.
Mix them by hand to make a dough, but it is very important not to handle this dough a lot because that will remove the oil from the mixture.
Again handling the dough as little as possible, form them into small oval shapes (see photo) and put them on baking trays covered with greaseproof paper.
Bake them one tray at a time in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes.
As soon as you remove them from the oven, dip them carefully – a few at a time - in the pan with the cold syrup. Leave them in there for about 1 minute, making sure they are fully immersed in the syrup.
Remove and place on a tray and repeat with the other melomakarona while they are still hot.
Repeat the same process with the other baking trays.
Finally, pour the thyme honey over the melomakarona and then sprinkle the grated walnuts on top. Let them cool and place them on your decorated dishes or in a plastic container, but not in the fridge. They keep for at least a week.
If you've tried this recipe please rate it!
Eat And Enjoy!

DEWmocracy: like democracy, but carbonated
You know how I do that thing where I take some earnest but misguided piece of marketing and make it sound ridiculous? Well, words fail:
So let's see. The world is a war-torn, post-apocalyptic battleground, ruled by oppressive "corporate lords." But one guy can "restore the soul of mankind" by designing the packaging for a soda.
Because that makes too much sense, there's also an inexplicable ride with a native American guy in an elevator who seems to successfully encourage the hero to commit suicide. The hero skateboards everywhere for no reason except, I guess, that marketing people think cool people do that. Oh, and the movie is from Pepsi, for Mountain Dew, which you might have thought was a corporation, and thus a bad guy in this scenario, but… uh…
Anyway, the point is to entice you into playing the DEWmocracy online game, where you can team up with other players to "design the flavor, color, name, and graphics" of a drink. Mountain Dew will then launch a "recognizably similar" version of the most popular result in 2008.
Other online games promise battles with dragons or storm troopers, but only DEWmocracy lets you enter the heart-pounding virtual world of Mountain Dew's marketing department. I assume that missions include "Unjam The Copy Machine," "Get That Last Parking Space," or "Battle of the PowerPoint Presentations," with your character choosing a class like "Intern" or "Direct Sales Representative" and working his way up to the feared "Executive Vice-President."
If this takes off, maybe the next thrilling virtual ride could take you into a bottling factory, where you spend eight hours a day inspecting caps for defects. One thing's for sure: Mountain Dew has finally responded to all those people clamoring to work for it for no pay.
It turns out, though, that when it comes time to design your drink in DEWmocracy, all you can do is pick from a pre-selected range of options. This was getting suspicious: first they warned me evil corporations would try to stamp out my creativity, and here I was confronted with a corporation trying to reduce creativity to pick-a-box as part of a marketing effort. Aha! Clearly I was meant to reject DEWmocracy as an attempt to control the population, and go firebomb Pepsi's offices. Yes?

Pope Accepts Resignation of Milwaukee Auxiliary Bishop Sklba
WASHINGTON (October 19, 2010) —Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of auxiliary Bishop Richard Sklba of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, for reasons of age. Bishop Sklba reached the retirement age for bishops of 75 on September 11.
Bishop Sklba's retirement was announced Monday, October 18, 2010 at the Vatican.
Richard John Sklba was born September 11, 1935, in Racine, Wisconsin. From 1954 to 1960, he studied at the Gregorian University, Rome, completing an undergraduate degree in philosophy and a graduate degree in theology. He was ordained to the priesthood in Rome for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in 1959. He later attended the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum) Rome, completing advanced degrees in biblical studies.
He taught Scripture for 11 years at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary, Milwaukee. In 1976, he was appointed rector of the seminary. He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee on November 6, 1979, and ordained a bishop December 19 of that year.
Bishop Sklba served on various committees of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) including Priestly Life and Ministry, Doctrine, Liturgy, Permanent Diaconate, as well as Marriage and Family. He was appointed to several task forces including the Teaching Function of the Diocesan Bishop and the sub-committee for Inclusive Language. He chaired the sub-committee on the Review of Scripture Translations from 1991 to 2001.
Bishop Sklba served as chair of the USCCB's Committee for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs from 2005-2008. In that capacity, he had the privilege of introducing the nation's religious leaders from several traditions to Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to the United States in 2008.
Active in the church's ecumenical and interreligious relationships on a national and local level, Bishop Sklba has co-chaired the national Lutheran/Catholic Dialogue since 1998. His professional memberships include the Catholic Theological Society of America and the Society for Biblical Literature. Bishop Sklba has also published articles, books, papers and occasional book reviews. In 1988, he was awarded the Catholic Theological Society of America's John Courtney Murray Award for achievement in Theology.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee was erected in 1843 and elevated to an archdiocese in 1875. It comprises 4,758 square miles in the State of Wisconsin. It has a population of 2,315,958 people, with 657,519, or 28 percent, of them Catholic.

WASHINGTON President Bush signed legislation today that triples American funding to fight AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis around the world.
The five-year, $48 billion plan renews a program credited with saving millions of lives in Africa alone and is widely seen as one of the major achievements of the Bush presidency.
Mr. Bush said the program, launched by him in 2003, "is the largest commitment by any nation to combat a single disease in human history."
The president signed the bill in the ornate East Room of the White House, surrounded by lawmakers and people affected by AIDS whom he met on his February trip to Africa.
The legislation is a rare case of relatively easy cooperation between the Democratic-controlled Congress and the White House. It passed the House last week by a 303-115 vote and the Senate earlier in the month by a vote of 80-16.
It renews Mr. Bush's original five-year, $15 billion program called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, which was set to expire in September.
Some GOP conservatives questioned the new plan's sharp spending increase. But most on both sides of the aisle, and in groups that advocate both health initiatives and Africa, praised the American aid for boosting America's reputation abroad.
Mr. Bush diverted from broader remarks to issue a personal appeal to those stricken with AIDS.
"Don't let shame keep you from getting tested or treated," he said. "Your life is treasured by the people who love you. ... It matters to the people of the United States."
The AIDS initiative has so far supported care for nearly 7 million people and helped deliver lifesaving anti-retroviral drugs to about 1.7 million HIV-positive people. With the AIDS pandemic now affecting 33 million people worldwide, both Democrats and Republicans have called it one of the most significant accomplishments of the Bush presidency.
The program's five-year renewal comes with some significant changes that took months to negotiate: a third of prevention funds will no longer be reserved for abstinence education; a "conscience clause" gives religious groups the right to refuse participation; more focus is placed on women and girls, and HIV-positive people will find it easier to get visas into America.
Mr. Bush said the goal for the new funding is to prevent 12 million new HIV infections, treat more than 2 million with anti-retroviral drugs, support care for 12 million, and train at least 140,000 new health care workers.

The life of Rod Serling, one of the coolest, baddest, most talented men in television history, is heading for the silver screen.
Longtime Oliver Stone collaborator Stanley Weiser, writer of such films as "Wall Street," "W" and "Project X," has been hired to pen Serling's life story, reported Deadline. The rights to the story were acquired by Andrew Meieran and his Bureau of Moving Pictures, who will co-produce with Serling's widow, Carol.
"Rod Serling was one of the true visionaries in television history," Meieran said. "He singlehandedly broke the mold and established television as a powerful artistic medium capable of changing the world when used wisely."
U.S. & World
Just about every male born between 1920 and 1970 has done a terrible impersonation of Serling's distinct delivery that the used to open each episode of "The Twilight Zone," an anthology of sci-fi morality tales that ran on CBS from 1959 to 1964. Later he would launch "Night Gallery," sort of a "Twilight Zone" light that ran from 1969 10 1973.
Before making a name for himself in TV, Serling saw a lot of death as a soldier stationed in the Philippines during WW II, an experience that would inform his anti-Vietnam activism in the'60s.
No doubt a few thousand guys are brushing up on the Rod Serling impersonations right now in anticipation of the auditions.

Leader is going down tonight; Jeter 0-1. How do you make a pick like this? Jeter came into this game with a .241 average against Halladay, one of the game's best. Inexplicable…

Don't worry. rbgoulet1 is got the luck of the BTS God. He does this every other day. Make a crappy pick then crush our hopes by getting a cheap hit in the last at-bat. He did the same with Jeter just days ago.
Extended my streak to 12 when Orlando Cabrera extended his to 13. For a right-handed hitter facing a rookie lefty with a lofty ERA, with said hitter riding a 12 game hitting streak and him being one of those free-swinging players that still manages to hit over .290 while having under 30 walks in over 420 at-bats, this seemed like a good pick to me.
What I wonder is why this one got no love. O-Cabrera was not one of the top 15 chosen, nor a 'king of the plate'.
While I don't even get into double figures that often, and it's nice to be there, I guess it is still a loooong way to 56. If I don't make it, I hope someone is able to…..that would be kind of interesting.
Regarding Jeter vs Halladay — there are some pitchers that scare me, potential 0-2 hitters are not uncommon and Halladay is one of those. I learned awhile back to simply pick another game; afterall, there are plenty to choose from. I guess rgboutlet will learn that too, barring a tie and extra innings.
Looks like a new leader, nice call entel… I only wish I could make 14
I can't believe rgoulet picked this game. Halladay is not to
be messed with. Jeter screwed me on many occasions in the past. He's a decent pick but not this GAME. It looks like we have another Yankee hater on our hands………
Another reason to hate the Yankees…….Jeter
One streak ends………….Hopefully another begins today!
Not a bad pick to go with Ichirio to begin that streak on Wed.
Remember me, momfannie. I'm the one who had a 35 game hitting streak, only to be stopped by Votto in the first inning after he was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Boy, I still feel I could have gone all the way. I had my strategy almost to a science. I also thought rbgoulet1 would go all the way. I liked his approach. Unfortunately, he fell short. I believe he probably was in a hurry or was too busy to really think it through. If given the time, I'm sure he would not have picked Jeter, knowing Holliday was going to pitch.
About two week ago, I commented on a rule that I believe should be change. I'm sure others believe it as well. Assuming no one surpasses the 56 hit mark this year, how about requiring any player picked to be in the line up for at least 5 innings before the hit counts or doesn't count. It would prevent a streak player from being disadvantaged when a player bats once, and is then injured or kicked out. If we can go over Joe's streak of 56. I'm sure he started and played every game during his streak. If I'm wrong, please comment. In short, unless we make some changes that are indeed fair, it will be sometime before the record is ever broken. Nevertheless, no matter what changes are made or not made, I'll continue to play. I love the GAME.
Momfannie, i understand the reasons why you would like this rule to be put in place for bts game, but this is not a real rule in mlb baseball, so it would most likely not get instated. In any case i don't like the rule. It just goes against the nature of baseball. In baseball anything can happen. Imagine how difficult it must've been for Joe D to establish his streak barring injury, getting thrown out of a game, pinch hitting when he had days off.
You cant have a guy go 0-1 and have to play 5 innings to say that he didnt get a hit. Thats just irrational.
I think a rule that is irrational that is in the game though is the doubleheader rule: WHY would my streak only increase 1 game, if my hitter gets a hit in both games of a doubleheader?
The old rule made no sense either and was a gift, but this new rule is terrible too.

pTRIPZ lentiviral vector induction - (Jun/10/2013 )
I have recently used the pTRIPZ vector from Thermoscientific and I have encountered some problem that I really hope if anyone could help me out with it.
I infected several cell lines of my interest with the pTRIPZ vector and all cell lines have survived the puromycin selection (2ug/ml), suggesting the vector has successfully been integrated into the genome of infected cell lines. However, when I add the doxycycline, only one cell line showed the fluorescence signal under the microscope and the rest of the cell lines have absolutely no induction. This doesn't make any sense to me. I have tried a couple of times already and even re-infected the cell lines with much higher titer pTRIPZ virus by concentrating the virus, but I still do not get any induction upon adding doxycycline.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me out. Thanks.
I am wondering the concentration of doxycycline you used for induction. Maybe you can try a higher Doxy concentration, like 2 μg/mL doxycycline as long as your cell of interest can survive this.
One more thing, observe the expression of RFP with fluorescence microscope at 48 hours after doxycycline addition.

Should You Get the Brazilian Blowout? See One Reader's Hair Care Experience
Check out the transformation that takes place when a curly-haired TotalBeauty.com reader tries the treatment
"I LOVED the second blowout," Courtney exclaims, "even before [Chase] did any roller brushing or flat ironing, my hair was smooth and silky and looked amazing from just a quick blast with the dryer!"
Chase, who was super-pleased with his client's reaction, explained that the best way to extend the 12-week life of the Brazilian Blowout is to use the brand's four after-care products; Brazilian Blowout Acai Anti-Frizz Shampoo, $30, Brazilian Blowout Acai Conditioner, $36, Brazilian Acai Smoothing Serum, $38 and Brazilian Blowout Acai Deep Conditioning Masque, $40. "They help re-deposit the amino acids back on to the hair," he reasoned, "and, with proper after care, results can last as long as six months."
"Joseph was very generous and gave me [the after care products] to use," Courtney says. They smell great, make my hair feel wonderful and have lasted a long time -- I'd definitely buy them again."

Her hair looks the same...just styled. However it sounds like she had a great experience. Maybe her hair feels better to her. I would definitely like to try a BB.

The REAL Brazilian Blowout is amazing. My hair is, well, just think Beyonce on a bad hair day. BB doesn't have formaldehyde; the imitations (Brazilian Keratin Treatments) do. The real one is a branded product, (like Coke vs. cola), it's safe and more effective.

The boys and I were looking forward to spending the day in Annapolis with Jamison & Josephine since Colleen is back in school and the kids are off for the week. I knew parking was an issue in downtown Annapolis, but Colleen had said it was do-able during the day and night was the impossible time. So, against my better judgement, we made the hour or so drive to Annapolis and I was shocked at what I found. I was hesitant about going into downtown, but I wanted to help out and hang out with the kids for the day.
As I drove into downtown Annapolis I discovered there was no parking to be found and the parking garages were full. Also, I found that many of the roads are still only 1 lane in addition to the fact that schools had a 2 hour delay which put me right in the middle of the chaos. This led to massive traffic jams, horns honking and attitudes going crazy. I was stressed, but still dealing with it and spent about 30 minutes navigating around the streets looking for parking. Then the real trouble started which sent me into a tailspin. I turned down Cathedral Street only to be met with a car coming head-on at me up the street since it was only 1 lane still. The car would not back up the few feet to get to the end of the street and let me through so I had to back-up 3/4 of the street and turn down a 1-way dead end street so this car could get up the street! I then had to figure out how to turn around on this tiny side street with snow piles and cars parked. I ended up getting stuck in a snow pile while trying to turn around! For the normal person, this would not be a big deal and you would figure out how to get out of the situation. But for me, it was the end of the world because I have an enormous fear of driving in, on, or around snow so I froze. Luckily there was a guy walking by who helped get my car out and turned around.
By that time I was in tears and felt like I was going to throw up! I was also getting worried because I knew I needed to get to Joey & Jay. I navigated some more streets and ended up driving down another side street that was still full of snow/ice which frayed the last of my nerves. The boys were now crying and yelling because they had been in the car for close to 2 hours. Finally, I called it quits and made my way out of downtown Annapolis and parked in the Grauls parking lot which is 1.2 miles away from where I needed to be. I was sobbing, shaking and had no clue what to do.
I then started to text another family member who also lives in Annapolis to see if she could watch Joey & Jay since I was not going to drive back into downtown. After much back and forth, some name-calling and rude talking by her and myself, I made a decision. I got the stroller out of the car, put the boys in it and we started to walk. I texted most everyone in the family to let them know I was on my way to the house and that I had talked to Joey so she knew I was on my way and things were fine. Well, after I was already about half way there (or a little more) I got a text from this family member in Annapolis saying to turn around and go home. It became obvious that she had waited to make that decision long enough for the boys and I to have made it a good distance into our 1.2 mile walk. I was so mad and in tears again. I made sure to talk to Joey again to make sure things were fine and they were taken care of and then I turned the stroller around and walked back to the car.
Making the decision to walk was the best I could do to keep my word and watch Joey & Jay today. The sidewalks were not cleared so we walked on the side of the road for most of the time, but there were other people walking with us as well and the cars were all being very nice about staying away from the shoulder. I have an honest fear of driving in, on, or around snow so I made a decision that would work for me and get to Joey & Jamison. I really hate what happened today, but I can't change it now. In the end Joey & Jay were fine and I was able to calm myself down enough to drive back home.
Now I do know that we won't be making a trip to downtown Annapolis until summertime because the snow has taken over down there. I do envy everyone who has no fear of driving in the snow because I find myself stuck at home most of winter because of my fear....
On a side note....I got a call from Hopkins to give me instructions for Ryder's MRI on Monday. We need to be there and checked in at 9:25am which means it will be an early day to get Zak to daycare and us to Hopkins during rush hour traffic! Ryder is not allowed to eat anything after midnight. He can have a total of 8oz of water/apple juice/Pedialyte between midnight-7am and then he can't have anything after 7:30am. This poses another issue...I can't feed Zak in front of Ryder in the morning so I will have to drop off a very grumpy child to daycare for a longer day than he is used to. I feel so bad for Ryder to have to go through the sedation and MRI. I feel so bad for Zak to have to not eat or drink in the morning and to have to spend the whole day at daycare (he usually only spend 2-3 hours when he goes).
Now to try and convince the boys to nap so I can lay down. I still feel like I need to throw up and have a massive headache...

This delicious meat pie is a speciality of Corfu. Traditionally it is only made in the Carnival period (Apokries) leading up to Clean Monday, which is the beginning of Lent. We are in that period now - Clean Monday is next Monday 7th - so, true to tradition, we made the pie. At the bottom of the post you can see the proud cook (none other than my mother-in-law!) holding the pie just after it was taken out of the oven.
For the Pastry
500g all purpose flour
1 free range egg
120ml extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp vinegar
1 level tsp salt
Tepid water – enough to make a pliable dough
For the Filling
1½ kg leg of lamb cut into small pieces (bitefuls)
400g Carolina rice
9 free range eggs
580g condensed milk
580g water
200ml extra virgin oil
1 tbsp flour
1 clove garlic finely chopped
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
Salt and pepper to taste
5 free range eggs for the eggwash
Put the egg in a mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute.
Add the oil and vinegar.
Mix the salt into the flour and add to the liquid in the bowl.
Adding enough water, make a pliable dough.
Cover in clingfilm and set aside to rest for 1 hour.
Put the water in a pan and bring to the boil.
Add the rice and boil for 1 minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the oil and milk.
In a mixing bowl beat the 9 eggs for 2-3 minutes.
Put the meat in a large mixing bowl and add the rice mixture.
Add the beaten eggs to this mixture.
Add the flour, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper, mix well and set aside.
Butter an oven dish 40cm diameter and set aside.
Take the dough and with a rolling pin open it out on a flour-dusted surface.
The pastry should be large enough to cover the base and sides of the oven dish plus another 15cm approx. extra around the edge.
With the help of the rolling pin, place the pastry in the oven dish so that it fits tightly along the base and sides – this is important as there should be no bubbles left.
Add the filling.
Fold the edge of the pastry inwards over the filling, making sure that no liquid gets in between the pastry and the inside of the oven dish.
Lightly spread the liquid from the filling evenly over the top with your fingers, again making sure none goes down between the pastry and the dish.
Place in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 1 hour.
Beat the remaining 5 eggs well and spread over the whole pie when you remove it from the oven.
Put the pie back into the oven for another 5-10 minutes approx.

Sveum back in Chicago with new league, team
CHICAGO -- Royals hitting coach Dale Sveum did not have to wait long for a job offer after he was let go by the Cubs last September.
Sveum, who managed the Cubs to a 66-96 record in 2013, was dismissed one day after the conclusion of the regular season. He was hardly an hour removed from his duties with the Cubs when he received a call from an old friend.
It was manager Ned Yost, who wasted no time getting in contact with Sveum. The two had forged a relationship in Milwaukee, where Sveum worked under Yost as a third-base coach and bench coach from 2006-08.
"I just thought he was doing a tremendous job, and with two weeks to go when that rumor came out that his job might be in jeopardy, I'm like, 'OK, this is crazy right here, but if this happens, I've got a spot for him,'" Yost said. "So when I heard, it was the day after the season ended, and I had heard it, and I thought, 'I'm gonna give him some time,' then I thought, 'I ain't gonna give him no time.'"
Yost said that taking a year off after he was fired by the Brewers following the 2008 season was one of the best decisions he ever made, and he was wondering if Sveum might want to do the same. When Sveum said he had no desire to take time off, Yost made his pitch.
"I said, 'It's either going to be third-base coach or bench coach, but you know, if you want a job, I've got one for ya,'" Yost said. "And he said, 'I'm just walking out of this thing, give me a day or two to think about it' … and early the next morning he called and said, 'I want it.' I said, 'Fantastic.' So it's worked out very, very well for us."
Sveum says he harbors no ill feelings toward the Cubs. Now back in Chicago for the first time since he was let go, he said he would not have done anything differently and that he found the experience beneficial.
"It was a great experience. You wish them all the best, and things don't work out," Sveum said. "We all have these jobs to get fired someday, and there's not a lot of tenure for most people. It was a great experience in a great city. The best city in the country as far as I'm concerned. We all enjoy coming here all the time on the road and manage the Chicago Cubs and get that experience.
"Managing every day in the National League, obviously the game gets going a little bit in the seventh inning on. So you have all that under your belt that you've done it, and you've done it to the best to your ability. It's a great, great experience, and I'll always thank Theo [Epstein] and the Ricketts family for giving me the opportunity."

Suppose a cube of mass $m$ enters a loop-de-loop of radius $r$, travelling halfway around and reaching the top. At the top, it has velocity $v$, and the second half of the loop is frictionless.
How can I determine whether or not it will continue around the loop, or fall off?
According to the notes I took during class I can check to see if $v^2/r < g$, but I don't understand why that works. Can someone explain this?
How would I determine if the cube stays on the loop if the second half of the loop isn't frictionless?

Beer Brand Forced To Remove Sexist Brews After "Misogynistic" Campaign
A beer brewery in South Africa has been forced to apologise after the company was slammed worldwide for its sexist flavours in a new ad campaign.
Vale Bru's latest varieties centre around female hair colours, including names such as "Filthy Brunette", "Easy Blonde", and "Ripe Redhead".
The "Easy Blonde" is accompanied by the tagline, "All your friends have already had her."
While the brunette flavour says, "When gushing and moist are used to describe something, then you know."
Now, Vale Bru has issued an apology, stating it never intended to offend anyone with the campaign.
"Our attempt at making you' and ourselves' uncomfortable' worked.
"However' we never meant to belittle or degrade you."
"If those keyboard crusaders want to carry on' feel free," it added.
The campaign garnered international attention, with many fellow brewers calling out the company.
According to the ABC, Brewmistress founder Lucy Corne said, "It's like a bunch of 14-year-old boys were tasked with designing a range of beer labels".
"Clearly the whole #metoo movement has passed these guys by," she wrote.
"Your 'hilarious' beer names show your attitude towards women — as something to have sex with. Not to be respected or included. I'm not a prude — I understand that sex sells, but these names don't hint at respectful sex."
Others took to Instagram to call out the Vale Bru.

Bowtie Arch is a natural pothole-formed sandstone arch located 4 miles (6.5km) due west of Moab, Utah, USA. This image taken May 20, 2012 is from the base of the arch. The arch is roughly circular with an opening of about 20 ft (6m). Bowtie Arch is only 600 feet (183m) from much larger Corona Arch, which is also visiable in the distance in this image. Both can be reached by a short and easy 1.5 mile (2.4km) hike from Highway 279 on the Colorado River, a 13 mile (21km) drive from Moab, Utah.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

"I have to be honest, it was all moving so quickly that I didn't realise the ball had crossed the line. Mind you, even if I had realised, I certainly wouldn't have told the referee!" Gianluigi Buffon probably didn't expect his post-match comments to be taken so seriously after the most controversial of clashes between Milan and Juventus. But unfortunately, his words ended up being as divisive as the game itself.
Known in the sport for his honesty and cheerful spirit, the light hearted Juventus goalkeeper once again proved to be a danger in the mixed zone. While not being malicious, a legend of Italian football could have expressed himself in better terms as calcio fans were understandably hoping to hear different words.
Buffon certainly has a reputation for being 'politically incorrect'. Looking at his career, he has been constantly criticised for comments and actions which have been far from the ones of a role model. But while being no saint, his genuine personality has never been doubted.
Whereas it is hard to find a journalist or a fan naïve enough to believe that the majority of Buffon's colleagues would have done the contrary of what he said, there is also a clear feeling that the goalkeeper would have been better off not sharing his feelings.
Buffon clearly has a tendency for contradictions. Only two weeks ago, following the Juventus-Siena game, the Bianconeri goalkeeper told RaiSport: "If the referee comes to me asking if a corner should be given or not and then does the contrary of what I say, he is not serious enough so next time he encourages me to cheat. I wouldn't lose my honour over a corner kick – against Udinese the referee asked me the same thing and I told him there was a corner for our opponents."
Some may assume that Buffon is willing to confess the truth over a corner kick, but wouldn't do the same if it was a goal like the one against Milan. And in a way, comparing views, it is exactly what the goalkeeper said.
Still, after his Milan-Juve comments, he is determined to stand strong by his point of view. "I would repeat my words again. If I had understood that the ball was over the line then I wouldn't have said anything. I wouldn't have buried my team. My conscience is clear. After all, I have set a good example on many other occasions."
While extreme detractors have gone as far as saying that Cesare Prandelli should strip Buffon of the Italy captaincy, it seems pretty clear that Buffon's comments were just the latest false step from a 'keeper who is excellent between the posts but needs some guidance in the media environment.
In the words of a great Juventino such as Michel Platini: "Buffon has gone too far with his words and between Turin and Milan there should not be war. If the referee had asked him and he had said 'no', then that would have figured him to be a liar."
In a way, it is undeniable that Buffon missed a chance to make a special act of good sportsmanship. Like Paolo Di Canio in the Premier League, he could have entered into the fair-play elite.But there is also an undeniable truth – Buffon is neither a liar nor a cheat. Honesty, on this occasion, simply dealt him the wrong cards.

Lesson Steps
Sessions 1 and 2
- Distribute a "Quarter Designs" page to each student. Describe the 50 State Quarters Program, referring to the "50 State Quarters Program Overview" sheet if necessary.
- Conduct a discussion about these new coins and the economy. During this discussion, ask the students to guess how many quarters are minted of each state's design, how putting these coins into circulation affects the economy, and who determines how much money should be in circulation at any one time.
- Explain to the students that they will be conducting a Web investigation in the computer lab to find the answers to these and many other questions about our country's financial system.
- As a class, visit the computer lab.
- Distribute an "America's Money" Web questionnaire to each student. Either individually, in pairs, or as a class, read the questionnaire.
- Explain that the students will research appropriate responses using the resources available online from the Department of the Treasury, the United States Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Federal Reserve.
Session 3
- Once the students have completed their "America's Money" Web questionnaires, direct them to independently write an expository paragraph to explain the relationship between the United States Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Federal Reserve System ("the Fed").
- When the students have completed their paragraphs, place the students into groups of three or four. Distribute a piece of chart paper and a marker to each group.
- Allow the students to spend 15 to 20 minutes in their groups comparing their questionnaire responses and paragraphs. The students should discuss what they've learned about the Federal Reserve System and record this information on their chart paper. The students should also note any questions that they still have about the Fed.
- The students should post their charts near their seats.
- With the whole class, discuss and clarify the questions that students have identified as sources of confusion. The students should take notes on this discussion.
Sessions 4 and 5
- Direct the students to reassemble into their groups from the previous day. Distribute a "Group Presentation Rubric" to each group.
- Explain that each group will need to develop a creative way to present their understanding of the relationship between the United States Mint, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and the Federal Reserve System. Possible format ideas for these presentations could include a PowerPoint presentation, a children's book, a skit, and a rap or other type of song. Their presentations will be graded based on the rubric.
- Have each group take a turn presenting its material to the class.
- Complete a "Group Presentation Rubric" for each group.
- If your school is located near a Federal Reserve Bank, organize a field trip for your students. Before the trip, direct your students to prepare specific and relevant questions to ask.
- Direct your students to make their presentations to other classes. Have the groups respond to questions once they have finished their presentations.
- Direct students to investigate further information regarding the Federal Reserve. The following questions could be addressed:
- Who is the chairman of the Federal Reserve?
- Why is his job so important?
- How is the Federal Reserve Board selected?
- How do the interest rates, inflation, and recession relate to the Federal Reserve?
Use the worksheets, rubric, and class participation to assess whether the students have met the lesson objectives.
Common Core Standards
This lesson plan is not associated with any Common Core Standards.
National Standards
Discipline: Social Studies
Domain: All Disciplinary Standards
Cluster: Economics
Grade(s): Grades K–12
Teachers should:
- Productive resources are limited. Therefore, people cannot have all the goods and services that they want; as a result, they must choose some things and give up others.
- Effective decision making requires comparing the additional costs of alternatives with the additional benefits. Most choices involve doing a little more or a little less of something; few choices are all or nothing decisions.
- Different methods can be used to allocate goods and services. People, acting individually or collectively through government, must choose which methods to use to allocate different kinds of goods and services.
- People respond predictably to positive and negative incentives.
- Voluntary exchange occurs only when all parties expect to gain. This is true for trade among individuals or organizations within a nation, or among individuals or organizations in different nations.
- When individuals, regions, and nations specialize in what they can produce at the lowest cost and then trade with others, both production and consumption increase.
- Markets exist when buyers and sellers interact. This interaction determines market prices and thereby allocates scarce goods and services.
- Prices send signals and provide incentives to buyers and sellers. When supply and demand change, market prices adjust, affecting incentives.
- Competition among sellers lowers costs and prices, encouraging producers to produce more of what consumers are willing and able to buy. Competition among buyers increases prices and allocates goods and services to those people who are willing and able to pay the most for them.
- Institutions evolve in market economies to help individuals and groups accomplish their goals. Banks, labor unions, corporations, legal systems, and non-profit organizations are examples of important institutions.
- Money makes it easier to trade, borrow, save, invest, and compare the value of goods and services.
- Interest rates, adjusted for inflation, rise and fall to balance the amount saved with the amount borrowed, thus affecting the allocation of scarce resources between present and future users.
- Income for most people is determined by the market value of the productive resources they sell. What workers earn depends, primarily, on the market value of what they produce and how productive they are.
- Entrepreneurs are people who take the risks of organizing productive resources to make goods and services.
- Profit is an important incentive that leads entrepreneurs to accept the risks of business failure
- Investment in factories, machinery, new technology, and in the health, education, and training of people can raise future standards of living.
- There is an economic role for government to play in a market economy whenever the benefits of a government policy outweigh its costs. Governments often provide for national defense, address environmental concerns, define and protect property rights, and attempt to make markets more competitive. Most government policies also redistribute income.
- Costs of government policies sometimes exceed benefits. This may occur because of incentives facing voters, government officials, and government employees; because of actions by special interest groups that can impose costs on the general public; or because social goals other than economic efficiency are being pursued.
- Cost and benefit analysis is complex and involves placing value on both tangible
- and intangible factors when making policy decisions
- A nation's overall levels of income, employment, and prices are determined by the interaction of spending and production decisions made by all households, firms, government agencies, and others in the economy.
- Unemployment imposes significant personal costs on individuals and families. It can also place a heavy burden on governments. Unexpected inflation imposes costs on many people and benefits some others because it arbitrarily redistributes purchasing power.
- In the United States, federal government budgetary policy and the Federal Reserve System's monetary policy influence the overall levels of employment, output, and prices.
- The assumptions and values on which economic theory and public policy are based require careful analysis

A couple years ago we had to send in the agricultural cenus report which was quite lengthy and detailed.
Now the USDA has sent us a form requesting more information about our farming operation. So far they have contacted us three times by mail and once by phone regarding this survey.
It states "Data gathered will help USDA develop and administer farm programs that benefit you and your community. This includes helping ensure producers receive program payments that reflect current market conditions."
After many years of farming in a free and unfettered way, suddenly it seems all that has changed. I have a tremendous amount of pressure of late from agribusiness and governmental organizations. I would like to document here what a farmer must go through to stay in business in these times. The food safety enhancement act if passed into law will change everything. Linn Cohen-Cole is probably the most outspoken and politically correct voice on this issue.

Reyes And Ruth And (T.) Rex
Fascinating to watch Jose Reyes, out nearly a year, so rusty and nervous that he stutter-stepped towards a grounder early in the Mets-Nats game Saturday afternoon, and barely made it in time to the bag on a 2-4 doubleplay. Yet by the 8th inning he was barehanding a grounder, and in the 9th, leading an abortive rally on an otherwise frustrating day for the Queens faithful.

Oh wow… I just had a good caption pop into my head, but I don't think I can post it here. I'll tweet it to you – I'm "ReasonVsFear" on Twitter. And yeah… I'm bad. I admit it. But I told my mother the caption, and she laughed, so it's not THAT bad… just a little too much for the MLB blog. 🙂
Nope, no caption. Not feeling particularly witty right now. Giants lost but I'm watching the post-game fireworks out my living room window right now. Thought I'd catch the ferry over for tomorrow's game – 10th anniv. of the stadium – but it's gonna rain. 😦
I guess I can make my caption safe for MLB Blogs…. considering the way the "pitcher" is posed, and the fact that we're talking about "Walking the Dinosaur", my caption would be something like "I have four?? Really??"
How about this one "In Chicago, the White Sox Go Old School!
