INDEX NEWS AROUND INDIAN COUNTRY 2 NEWS BRIEFS 3 COMMENTARY/EDITORIALS 4 CLASSIFIEDS 7 White Earth, get out and vote on June 8 page 4 What does an elected convicted felon say about a once proud, honorable people? page 4 Klinkhammer accuses tribal court employees page 4 Al Pemberton, the DMR gopher, doesn't deserve another term page 4 Reflections on "Lost Youth of Leech Lake" series page 4 House Tax Committee defeats Tribal/State gaming bill 9-13 Former Red Lake Treasurer Dan King speaks against the bill VOICE OF THE PEOPLE By Bill Lawrence A bill that would have allowed the Red Lake and White Earth Bauds to build a casino in Minneapolis failed to pass the House Tax Committee in a late vote Thursday. Rep. Bill Haas (R-Champlinj sponsored the bill. He acknowledged that tins is a major set back but intends to have the bill brought to the floor of the House for debate. House leaders have indicated the bill may still have a future as leverage for one or more of the other gambling bills under consideration. Former Red Lake Tribal Treasurer Dan King appeared at the Minnesota House Tax Committee in opposition to the Red Lake and White Earth Bands' gaming proposal on Wednesday. King is currently employed by Treasure Island Casino. He said the Red Lake Band's casino profit problems are the result of disorganization and mismanagement. King was removed from the Treasurer's position by a recall petition. The charges included failure to provide Tribal Council with financial reports and acting without Council authority in a $14 million expenditure to cover overruns on the River Road Casino expansion project. King was the first tribal official in Red Lake history to be recalled. Because of his removal from office he is constitutionally barred from ever holding tribal office again. King, who managed Red Lake Fisheries Association in the mid-90s until he was elected Treasurer in 1998, has also been named as being one of those primarily responsible for the closing of Red Lake to fishing. Under his management the perch harvest was exploited. This depletion of fish led to the collapse of the fishing industry at Red Lake and caused irreparable harm to many Red Lake families and to the tribal economy. A $160 million deficit is the energy behind a series of gambling bills before the Legislatare this session. There may be as many as twenty seven bills dealing with expansion of gaming, particularly to benefit the State of Minnesota, before the House. The Tax Committee heard testimony regarding Rep. Haas' bill on Wednesday. The bill is opposed by nine other Indian Tribes who contend that further expansion of gaming in Minnesota will further diminish gambling revenues, meaning it will be bad for their businesses. Rep. Tom Rukavina (DFL- Virginia) also opposed the bill. He argued that the northwestern casinos in Red Lake was a draw to tourists from North Dakota. He saw this increase in tourism to rural areas as a good tiling. Further, a casino in Minneapolis would decrease travel by Twin Cities residents to other outlying casinos, decreasing the opportunity for bringing tourism dollars into rural areas. Lawmakers took issue with the Tribes that opposed BILL to page 7 NIGC meeting with Leech Lake Tribal Council By Diane E. White CASS LAKE, MN—The following taped discussion is a meeting between the full Leech Lake Tribal Council and John Gerber, Field Investigator of the National Indian Gaming Commission. Also present at that meeting were Executive Director, Gerald White, Executive Assistant Dale Green, Attorneys, Frank Bibcau and Heidi Drob- nick, and Controllers, Veldon Baird and Dan Erickson. Gerber was meeting with Leech Lake regarding a report on internal matters. This taped discussion is part of (lie Demand Petition delivered to the Tribal Executive Committee last week by Randy Finn, Mindy Jones-Ruby, Burton "Luke" Wilson, and Johnny Jones. The following is a continuation of that taped discussion: John Gerber: "Looked at Mike Johnson contract. What I saw in the contract of note was basically that he couldn' l enter into a contract with somebody outside, without your concurrence, without your consent. I noted that everybody here signed it. Then I started looking at the interactions with Mr. Potts. Don't know where that might be going. To the FBI. I don't know, 'ion're Mr. Potts has gotten into an awful lot of staff and much of it has turned out to be 'duedy.' Excuse my talk, I looked at some of those, the original information I'd gotten where he was gonna be a partner with you all, building a new casino. That's line! That's perfectly legal. You know as long as you set up the percentage you get, I think, it's, you get 60 and he gets 40. Perfectly good. There was a question whether in fact that was Trust land down there. Well, that really isn't ours. That's up to the Department of Interior to decide whether that is. What did concern me when I saw that N Ir. Potts all of a sudden bought a piece of property after deciding he was going to go in with you, you all. I le was privy to what were going to build, what you needed to buy, and he ended up with a piece of property. That concerns me, but if, as I've been told, he ain't gonna be making any money off it without someone back here squealing, then it is not a problem, you know. If he only makes what he paid for it, okay, that's fine. Next tiling, I looked at was the basic financial agreement that you all had with them. 1 see, these, a lot of these contracts arc signed by one person and it varies, some were signed by Rodney, Chairman signed one, and some were signed by Mike. No indication whether in fact the council had voted on this. I don't know. I've asked. That's up to you all if you have problem, then you have problem with each other on it.

According to die Executive Order, "the puipose of diis order is to assist American Indian and Alaskan Native students in meeting die challenging student academic standards of die Leave No Child Behind Act of 2001 in a maimer dial is consistent with tribal traditions, languages, mid cultures." The administration of the Executive Order will be carried out by the Department of Education and will set up an Interagency Working Group on American Indian and Alaskan Native Education. This working group will be comprised of the heads of the Departments of Education, Interior, Healdi and Human Services, Agriculture, Justice, and Labor. Secretaries Paige from Education and Norton from Interior will be die co-chairs. The working group is tasked with overseeing the implementation of die Order and has 90 days to develop a federal interagency plan diat recommends initiatives, strategies, and ideas for future interagency actions. The working group may also consult widi representatives of Native American and Alaskan Native tribes and organizations. In essence, die purpose of this group is to formulate widi ideas that future interagency groups will address at a later time. The Secretary of Education will conduct a multi-year study that, in conjunction widi the Working Group, will help im- BIA head recuses himself from key bureau decisions By Lolita C. Balclor Associated Press WASHINGTON - The head of the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is removing himself from any decisions on tribal recognition or Indian gaming to avoid die appearance of any conflict of interest. Dave Anderson, who co- founded Grand Casinos Inc., asked Interior Secretary Gale Norton to delegate authority for ;ill matters related to tribal gaming to BIA's deputy assistant secretary Aurene Martin. The order, obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, was signed last month and took effect immediately. In an accompanying memo, Norton said Anderson, con- finned by the Senate last December, initiated the change. "He didn't want to have any possibility diat his past associations would call into question any of his decisions," said spokeswoman Tina Kreisher. The move drew criticism from Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenlhal, who protested diat critical decisions will now be made by someone not subject to Senate confirmation. "I am deeply troubled diat Mr. Anderson will be unable to perfonn some of the key responsibilities of die office for which he was nominated mid confirmed by Congress," said Blumendial. He added that recusal on individual cases is appropriate but, "such general, across the board delegation is severely problematic, raising constitutional and statutory questions about overbroad illegal delegation." While Anderson will have no influence in recognition decisions, gaining matters or issues related to tribes taking land into trust for casino piuposes, Kreisher said that he will continue to have other duties as the head of BIA. He will oversee social welfare programs, other land use issues, and the 184 BIA schools located in 23 states. Bhunenthal has been a frequent critic of die BIA, and he appealed die last two federal recognition decisions made by t the agency in Connecticut cases _ the recognition of the Eastern Pequot and Schaghticoke tribes. The appeals are pending. Anderson, of Edina, Minn, is die founder of Famous Dave's barbecue restaurant chain, which now has 90 outlets. Prior to diat, he and his former business partner Lyle Berman founded Grand Casinos. Anderson left the company in 1996 to launch his restaurant chain. Berman has several big casino projects awaiting BIA approval. When Anderson was confirmed by die Senate, he said he would recuse himself from diose decisions. prove Native students' abilities to meet the "challenging student academic standards" of the Leave No Child Behind Act (LNCBA). The study will include die compilation of comprehensive data on Native students' achievements mid progress towards LNCBA. The study will also include identification and dissemination of research- based practices and methods in raising academic achievement, especiady reading achievement, for Native students. Also included will be an assessment of the impact and role diat Native languages and culture can play in improving academic achievement. Finally, die report attempts to develop mediods to increase die high school graduation rates ORDER to page 6 Senator calls for Indian affairs chief to resign Associated Press WASHINGTON - A Connecticut senator called yesterday for the head of die Bureau of Indian .Affairs to resign because he is no longer . making critical tribal recognition decisions. Assistant Interior Secretary for Indian Affairs David W. Anderson, who co-founded a gaming company but left in 1996, has stepped aside from all recognition and gaming- related decisions to avoid die appearance of a conflict of interest. 'There was no indication that this guy was going to get the job and take himself out of the picture," Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, a Democrat, said yesterday. "He should not have accepted die job to begin with. I diink he's got to resign." House members, during a Government Reform Committee hearing, also questioned Anderson's move, grilling BIA counselor Theresa Rosier. She said many of his rcspousibtii- tics remain, including oversight of tribal schools, health care and other social issues [Note: See Anderson's memo printed on page 6.] web page: www.press-on.net Native American We Support Equal Opportunity For All People A weekly publication.

Kerry first met widi 500 V.I.P. Guests in a private reception.

He lias a slight lead over President George Bush in a recent Minnesota poll. Kerry does seem optomistic he will win at the polls at election time. At the bigger event that same evening, Kerry took several jabs at the Bush administration. In one statement he said he had, "Never seen a group of people in Washington who are faking it as much as they do. They're taking politics to the lowest common denominator rather than lifting people up."

On a different note, In a press release dated November 17, 2003 Kerry says, '\As President, I will work with you to create an unprecedented partnership with tribal governments to improve die lives of Native Americans all over America. That has been far from die case with George W. Bush. He has forgotten, abolished, turned back on the good work that President Clinton did to bring justice to Native Americans - and I will tarn that around. There are many success stories in Indian Country and I want to work widi you all as President so that we can hear about more of diese successes." Tribal housing: Officials fault donated houses Structures contain lead, asbestos By Curt Woodward Associated Press B1SN1ARCK - Tribal officials trying to cure a housing crunch worry about health risks and die cost of cleaning up donated Air Force houses laced with asbestos and lead. Since die late 1990s, the Turtle Mountain reservation in Rolette County has received more than 100 homes through a program diat redistributes housing from Air Force bases. Most of those houses have lead paint on die walls and asbestos-based glue under die floors - expensive problems diat were not disclosed to tribal officials, said Richard Schroeder, die Turtle Mountain Housing Autiiori- ty's business manager. "They painted a pretty pictare," Schroeder said. "If Hundreds walk to celebrate American Indian Month Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS - Nearly 400 people from at least 50 tribes and organizations participated hi a nine-block walk to kickoff American Indian Month. "As an American Indian, I am deeply moved by the amount of people out here. It means we care about our community," said Valerie Larsen, 55, who grew up on die Leech Lake Reservation and lives in Crystal. "We're here, we're present and we're thriving, This is our home. We have no place to go back to." The walk Monday along WALK to page 3 somebody told you Tin giving you a house,' well, you'd take it." The California-based nonprofit group Walking Shield American Indian Society helps distribute the surplus homes from Air Force bases to American Indian tribes. Walking Shield has sent about 900 homes to American Indian tribes in the Dakotas, Montana and Minnesota since 1996, director Dennis Wynott said. The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa has about 11,800 members living on and around die reservation in north central North Dakota. A population boom has stretched housing diin, making die donated homes look attractive, said Andy Leverdure, die tribe's housing authority director. But the tribe lias spent thousands of dollars renovating the air base homes, which were built in die 1960s. Schroeder said repairs for 50 houses cost die tribe about $20,000. The renovations include repainting or stripping areas with lead-based paint and installing new floors to seal off floors contaminated widi asbestos. The housing authority is searching for federal grants diat will help pay for more repairs, Leverdure said. "It's just like in the 1800s, when they were giving smallpox blankets to the Indian people. Just a different kind of blanket," he said. Federal officials attending a regional conference on lead problems Wednesday in Bismarck said they are trying to figure out if disclosure rules were followed in the housing transactions. They are not sure if the non- ASBESTOS to page 5 Murderer of Indian activist appeals, asks for mental evaluation By Carson Walker Associated Press SIOUX FALLS, S.D.-The lawyer of a man sentenced to life in prison for the 1975 killing of American Indian activist Anna Mae Pictou Aquash has appealed die conviction and renewed a request for a mental evaluation of his client. hi motions filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Sioux Falls, Cleveland lawyer Terry Gilbert again asked for a mental healtli test on Arlo Looking Cloud. Gilbert also filed a notice of appeal to die 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. A Rapid City jury convicted Looking Cloud in February of first-degree murder committed in the perpetration of a kidnapping for Aquash's slaying. He was sentenced April 23 to a mandatory life prison tenn and remains jailed in Pennington County. Gilbert tried unsuccessfully to get an evaluation done before Looking Cloud was sentenced, saying his client had abused drugs and alcohol for years. LJ.S. District Judge Lawrence Piersol denied die request because it appeared Looking Cloud was lucid during a videotaped confession and he earlier refused to cooperate widi a mental healdi expert. Piersol has not yet ruled on the latest request. hi his latest motion, Gilbert said an evaluation was needed before Looking Cloud could be placed in a federal prison and rehabilitated. Before Looking Cloud was arrested in March 2003, he was living homeless in Denver. Gilbert could not be reached Tuesday for comment. APPEAL to page 3

I wonder how the Planet-Xers are taking the no-show of that object. So far, one of them has claimed that this object will show up in 2012 instead. How have the others been taking this disappointment?
I wonder if the visit of Planet X will become like the Second Coming of Jesus Christ -- an event whose failure to happen has not stopped people from repeatedly predicting it.

Description: This corridor piece of furniture is the result of a 2-step thinking :
- functional for the inside : using Faktum elements for kitchen
- external shape : Applad doors and oak corpus
First, the depth of Faktum elements has been reduced, as well as the height of the Applad doors
Then, the smallest Faktum has been hand-painted in dark grey (not so easy, but nice result finally)
To finish, the corpus has been made with pieces of oak and varnished.

How do you open those doors? Must be hard to grip with that outer "frame" protruding so much? Or did you use one of those push-to-open magnet thingies (I think they are available for the Besta series)?

Actually there is a mistake in the description : it's not Applad doors, but Arsta. And these Arsta doors have a built-in handgrip, as you can see on the picture number 2.
And it's very easy to open the doors : more than 3cm space with the "outer frame".
Hi Esteban, I see you're from Strasbourg. Where did you get you're Oak from? I need some for a future project that also includes some Ikea parts.

This is usually called a "fauxdenza" It was called that by Anna Dorfman.

Closed. This listing should be removed as unfortunately, this restaurant closed last year.
Editorial Review. The world renowned standard in hotel elegance sits appropriately on the Atlanta's most elegant block in Buckhead.
Best meal of my life. My husband and I went here for my 30th birthday and we both agreed that this was the most wonderful, memorable meal we've ever had. Apart from the deliciousness of the food, the experience was amazing as well. We opted for the 5-course menu and we were not disappointed. The flavors blended together perfectly and everything was plated so well. All of the servers were extremely friendly and attentive. Be prepared to spend a lot of money - however, it is well worth it for a special occassion
Perfection in the city. What a spectacular place. We live north of the city and still try to get down to the Ritz a couple times a year. The bar is relaxing and fun, and the hotel is nothing short of everything you would expect. If you are really celebrating try the Dining Room, it is very pricey but well worth the experience!
Most amazing food experience ever.
The experience we had here made our one year wedding anniversary celebration amazing.
The wine pairing 5 course menu was absolutely a food experience everyone should try.
Our waiter treated us like royalty, and the entire experience was amazing. I highly recommend it.
Beautiful Hotel, Amazing Service. although I live in Atlanta, I stay at the Ritz one weekend a year just for a "vacation". The service is incredible, and the staff accomodates anything you ask for. Great getaway!
Fun Weekend Getaway. We stayed at the Buckhead ritz for the 4th of July weekend and had a blast. There is so much excitement in the area during this time of year with the race, fireworks and all. I was impressed with the service even though the hotel was packed. They treat you like a Queen.

The Kingdom of God becomes present above all in the celebration of the Sacrament of the Eucharist, which is the Lord's Sacrifice…All of us who take part in the Eucharist are called to discover, through this Sacrament, the profound meaning of our actions in the world in favour of development and peace; and to receive from it the strength to commit ourselves ever more generously, following the example of Christ, who in this Sacrament lays down his life for his friends (cf. Jn 15:13). Our personal commitment, like Christ's and in union with his, will not be in vain but certainly fruitful.
The Catholic social mission is also carried forward by believers who join unions, neighbourhood organisations, business groups, civic associations, the pro-life movement, groups working for justice, or environmental, civil rights or peace groups. It is advanced by Christians who stand up for the values of the Gospel. This mission is the task of countless Christians living their faith without much fanfare or recognition, who are quietly building a better society by their choices and actions day by day. They protect human life, defend those who are poor, seek the common good, work for peace, and promote human dignity.
"…it is only after the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost that the apostles depart to all the ends of the earth in order to begin the great work of the Church's evangelisation. … The Spirit who causes Peter, Paul and the twelve to speak, and who inspires the words that they are to utter, also comes down 'on those who heard the word'."
'When we attend to the needs of those in want, we give them what is theirs, not ours. More than performing works of mercy, we are paying a debt of justice'. The Council Fathers strongly recommended that this duty be fulfilled correctly, remembering that 'what is already due in justice is not to be offered as a gift of charity'
"…The Holy Spirit is the soul of the Church. It is he who explains to the faithful the deep meaning of the teaching of Jesus and of his mystery. It is the Holy Spirit who, today just as at the beginning of the Church, acts in every evangeliser who allows himself to be possessed and led by him. The Holy Spirit places on his lips the words which he could not find by himself, and at the same time the Holy Spirit predisposes the soul of the hearer to be open and receptive to the good news and to the kingdom being proclaimed."
"…nation must meet nation, as brothers and sisters, as children of God. In this mutual understanding and friendship, in this sacred communion, we must also begin to work together to build the common future of the human race. We also urge men [and women] to explore concrete and practicable ways of organising and co-ordinating their efforts, so that available resources might be shared with others in this way genuine bonds between nations might be forged."
A Catholic Social Teaching message from Pope Paul VI: "If you want Peace, work for Justice."

Ventures In Space
CD (Item 602704) Dolton/Sundazed, 1964 — Condition: New Copy
The Ventures In Space is a really wonderful idea – especially given that the quartet had so much energy in their guitars at this point, they could easily make it to the moon! The set's cooking with great little numbers that really keep with the space theme of the title – tracks like "One Step Beyond", "Twilight Zone", "The Fourth Dimension", "Moon Child", and "Solar Race" – all as captivating as they sound from the titles, and served up here with that sweet mix of guitar twang and jamming that made The Ventures so great back in the day! 12 tracks in all. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Rev. A. C. McLemore, 84, a "good and faithful servant", adoring husband for 61 years, minister of the Gospel, and loving father, grandfather, and great grandfather, has ended an earthly life of sacrificial service to his family, his country and those in need, and began a life eternal in the presence of Our Father on Sunday, November 25, 2012.
A veteran of the Korean War, A.C. served in the U.S. Air Force and the Naval Air Reserve. He served as a pastor for more than 43 years, and devoted his life to proclaiming the Gospel, not only in words but in tireless acts of service to those who were sick, hurting and in need.
A.C. is survived by his loving wife, Barbara, his children: Debbie and Harry Wootan; Cindy and Greg Price; and Tim and Kimberly McLemore; his grandchildren Ashley and Chris Blankenship, Bonnie Wootan, Emily Price, Isaac McLemore and Ian McLemore; and a great-granddaughter, Layla Blankenship.
The family will receive friends at Rose Mortuary Mann Heritage Chapel at 6200 Kingston Pike on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., with a service to follow at 7 p/m. The burial will take place at the new Veteran's Cemetery in South Knoxville on Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to the American Diabetes Association (www.diabetes.org).

That dress has a hole in it. Personally, I think they had strippers design it and stuck their names on it to make more money.

I noticed the always magnificant Kelly Taylor is wearing a little sheer top number in the opening credits of BN9ner there (fist bumps!), but I'd like to think that even she would draw the line at all that sheerness going on, and I like to model some facets of my life after Ms. Taylor, so no way would I do those looks!

I couldn't agree more. It's akin to Bridget Jones wearing that horrid nude sheer top to tempt Daniel Cleaver. I mean, nude?? Awful trend but entertaining...

Hahaha, I love this post! Isn't it so funny how out of touch with reality designers can be sometimes. Though the clothes are delightful pieces of art. I could only imagine the looks of horror and possible indecent exposure arrest I would accrue by stepping on the NYC metro wearing a sheer dress!
Thanks for this WONDERFUL post!

I have an odd obsession with sheer clothing. My fave shirt from my clubbing days was a sheer black long-sleeved shirt with zippers on it. I would wear my black calvin klein bra underneath.
LOL. I credit it to my polish-ness. We're slightly tacky. Oopsy! - July 9, 2009 at 10:05 PM
- ms. mindless said...
sheer clothing really weirds me out, and i tend to think sheer clothes are tacky/slutty...that is unless it is a overpriced (read $50 or more) t-shirt that i convince myself is worth the money even though i have to buy a camisole to go under it. i realize this is completely hypocritical and i just don't care.

The high-flying acrobats of Cirque du Soleil set their microscopes on the insect world with Ovo, a family-friendly circus spectacle that exposes the beauty of the lowest levels of our ecosphere. Like the lost Disney adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis, the show bridges the gap between humans and their minuscular counterparts with the help of whimsical costumes and set designs. As the first act begins, a monolithic egg lands in the midst of a bustling insect community, raising a commotion among the many-legged residents. Ants and crickets creep across the stage's webby backdrop, extending their antennae for a peek at the mysterious object. By the time a gawky blue insect arrives onstage and a ladybug sets his heart aflutter, audiences are cocooned to their seats in awe of the stylized habitat. Creature-themed stunts and dance routines fill the show's nine acts, which include a juggling firefly, a trapeze troupe of scarabs, and a pair of Spanish butterflies engaged in a rousing thumb-wrestling bout.
A cubic container of red roses ($49.95) is a classy bundle of blooms for any occasion. Encounter unearthly delights in a paradise found arrangement ($59.95), and, if a friend broke her butterfly net trying to catch iguanas, give her a fluttering dancing butterflies arrangement ($59.95–$99.95).

Huge and Durable Bag
By Chris
from Redondo Beach, CA
I've had this bag for over 4 years and haul my gear in it 1-2 times per week. So it's seen a lot of use...Overall, I have been very happy with this bag, I can fit all my bulky and heavy gear (including 7mm wetsuit and small tool kit) into it with plenty of room to spare. The zipper design makes it ultra-easy to access the bag and the open mesh top facilitates drying...After the first year, the clips on the shoulder strap broke under strain and I replaced the strap with a heavier-duty version - no problems since. Only after years of hard use is the bottom starting to get some very small wear holes. This is not a bag designed for air travel, but I would strongly recommend it for local boat / shore diving use...
Just what I needed!
Wow...this bag is big!! Appears to be of good quality....but time will be the judge of that!.

New ornamental sweet potato varieties recently introduced have various leaf shapes and growth habits in addition to new foliage colors. These sweet potatoes have been selected for shorter stem lengths between the leaves and reduced root size. They are more compact than most other ornamental sweet potato varieties.
Some of the new sweet potatoes are more conducive to trellising and for being "spiller" or "filler" plants in containers when compared with older varieties. Some of these new varieties may produce significant flowering in the landscape during summer through fall, while others seldom flower.
The Sweet Caroline series of ornamental sweet potatoes are a newer group. This series has varieties with green-yellow, red, light green, bronze and purple foliage. The Sweet Caroline Sweetheart series (with heart-shaped leaves) is available in light green, red and purple, while the stand-alone Bewitched variety has maple-leaf-shaped, purplish-black foliage. The best foliage colors come when plants are in full sun. They will have less colorful foliage in a shaded or partially shaded location.
An ornamental sweet potato series introduced in 2009 is Sidekick from Syngenta Flowers. This series is available in black, black-heart and lime colors. The lime-colored variety is lighter in color than the chartreuse-lime green foliage of Marguerite, and the growth habit is low-growing and less spreading.
The new Illusion series from Proven Winners is probably the best of the new introductions. They have thread-leaf foliage and are smaller-growing and much less vigorous than any others on the market. Illusion colors are available as Emerald Lace, Midnight Lace and Garnet Lace.
Ornamental sweet potatoes in the landscape are easy to plant and care for. They do best when planted later in the spring and seldom need irrigation or fertilization. Lightly prune during the season to control growth on the most vigorous varieties.
Visit LaHouse in Baton Rouge to see sustainable landscape practices in action. The home and landscape resource center is near the intersection of Burbank Drive and Nicholson Drive (La. 30) in Baton Rouge, across the street from the LSU baseball stadium.

Harry Belafonte to give MLK lecture
Harry Belafonte
Martin Luther King lecture by Harry Belafonte
6 p.m. Jan. 28
Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall, 50 Arts Circle Drive, Evanston
Updated: January 23, 2013 11:06AM
Harry Belafonte in recent years has been positively Kanye-esque in his outspokenness.
The 85-year-old singer — a revered icon in American pop music, the King of Calypso, the resonant voice behind the 1956 classic "Day O (The Banana Boat Song)" — has tallied headlines for his frank opinions on matters ranging from U.S. foreign policy to race relations.
In 2002, Belafonte likened Secretary of State Colin Powell to a "house slave" for his acquiescence to the invasion of Iraq. He called President George W. Bush "the greatest tyrant in the world, the greatest terrorist in the world" during a 2006 meeting with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez.
Last month during an MSNBC interview, he advocated the jailing of Obama's obstructionist Republican opponents.
Belafonte's legacy as an entertainer, though, is not easy to overshadow. "Calypso," the 1956 record that launched an American craze for its namesake music, was the first U.S. LP to sell a million copies. His career since has been intertwined with other pillars of music (his 1962 "Midnight Special" album contains the first-ever recording of a young harmonica player named Bob Dylan) and politics (he campaigned for and worked with President John F. Kennedy).
Belafonte also maintained a relationship with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and he's spending January traveling the country to speak about it.
His free keynote address Jan. 28 at Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Concert Hall concludes two weeks of events at the university celebrating King's life and legacy. NU recently made Martin Luther King Day an official university holiday; Jan. 21 was its first.
Last week, Belafonte spoke about his activism, his music and his fond memories of King.
Q: You're speaking about Dr. King at a number of universities and events this month. How did this tour come about now?
Belafonte: For the last many years, each time Dr. King's birthday comes up or the anniversary of his death, there's always a call by institutions and individuals to speak on the subject. Depending on the state of the union, I go and I speak and make commentary on what he might have observed and said if he'd been around today.
Q: Where has King's legacy succeeded?
Belafonte: The real beauty and power of what the [Civil Rights] movement achieved — when you look back at the cunning and brutality and smarts and resources poured into trying to roll back the clock and end affirmative action and women's rights and so many things — is that the opposition has miserably failed. Including trying to stop Obama getting re-elected. There's the real tribute to what King achieved. Not from what we've taken but in stopping the opposition from defeating it.
Q: King is such a mythic figure. Tell me something sensory, something human about him.
Belafonte: What endeared him to me was the way in which he wrenched over the decisions he had to make. To watch him unable to sleep, develop all kinds of psychological disorders. He had a tic that plagued him constantly. It wasn't a stutter. It was a nervous disorder that gave him kind of a — he couldn't complete a sentence without a gasp for air. One day he seemed to no longer have that affliction.
Q: The last time I heard "Day O" it was a sample in Lil Wayne's "6 Foot, 7 Foot." What's your opinion of your catalog getting sampled?
Belafonte: I love it. I'm not a protectionist. I was talking to [blues legend] Brownie McGhee once about purism in folk music. He said all songs are folk songs. He said, "Harry, the first song ever sung by a human being was 'Ugh.' " Anybody can take my song. They can gladly have it, because it was never my song.
Q: Right, your version was based on several that came before.
Belafonte: "Day O" has a long history. Who knows where it came from. By the time it came to me it was full-blown. I had a happy time singing it.~.

It's that time of the year. People all over the world are picking out Christmas Trees to place in their homes, offices, or other places where they want to celebrate the holiday and decorate.
If you're having trouble deciding on a tree, consider the one on display at the Ginza Tanaka jewelry store in Tokyo, Japan. The revolving tree is outstanding and unique, as it's made of pure gold and features Disney characters.
Here are more specific details for you:
- The ornament is made of 88 pounds of pure gold.
- It's height is about eight feet, and it's three feet in diameter.
- It is decorated with pure gold-plate silhouette cutouts of 50 well-known Disney characters.
- It is draped with gold leaf ribbons.
Oh yeah, and the tree costs 350 million yen. In other words- $4.2 million. Sounds expensive, right? Well, Tomoko Ishibashi, who works in the marketing department of Tanaka Kikinzoku Jewelry (which runs the Ginza Tanaka jewelry store), says the tree is a good deal.
"Right now gold is over 4,400 yen per gram. We used pure gold and had an expert craftsman form each Disney character by hand," she said.
The golden ornament took ten craftsmen two months to finish.
My issue is that is doesn't look like a Christmas tree and it's ugly no matter who much it's worth. Bah humbug but really, it's not pretty!

A federal judge in Michigan could rule as soon as Thursday on a challenge to the state's ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions. The challenge comes as the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear two cases dealing with gay marriage later this month.
In the Michigan case, a lesbian couple sued not because they want to be married, but because they want to be parents.

The Michigan House and Senate have passed the legislation in different versions, and may take final action on the bills next week. Michigan could become the 24th state to say workers cannot be forced to pay union dues even if they work for a business or government employer with union representation.
