Longtime Democratic Rep. Ed Markey, the only announced candidate for the special election, launched his campaign last month and already has strong backing from Democratic forces--including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Ted Kennedy's widow Vicki, and Kerry, himself. Rep. Stephen Lynch, another Democrat, is still weighing his decision to enter the race.
On the Republican side, former Sen. Scott Brown, who lost his seat to Sen. Elizabeth Warren in November, may make another attempt at the U.S. Senate. A source close to the Bay State Republican told CNN recently that "Scott is undecided. I think he's going to wait for an actual vacancy to be declared and for an election date to be set."
While Markey doesn't yet have an opponent in the race, he called on his potential foes to keep outside money away from the race, a similar pledge made by Warren and Brown last year in their high-profile Senate showdown. The two candidates vowed to deduct money from their own campaigns if a third party group, such as a super PAC, spends money in the race.
"If all the candidates agree, we can give the voters the kind of debate they deserve. This election should be a forum for the voices of everyday voters, not attacks from Karl Rove and other outside special interests," Markey said in a statement.
The 2010 Supreme Court decision, known as Citizens United, paved the way for groups to spend unlimited amounts of money on a candidate, as long as the groups don't coordinate with the campaigns they support.
"This election should be focused on big issues and ideas, not big-money outside groups," Markey said. "I urge all candidates to join me in ensuring that Massachusetts once again will be the leader for the nation on this issue."

Please define what you mean by religion. It's not clear that everyone is talking about the same thing when they use that word.
I don't have a special meaning. Just the usual generic reference to groups that call themselves a religion.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure many (not all) atheists want religion to go away.
Atheists including notably Sam Harris want to retain "spirituality" which may be a euphemism for at least some aspects of religion depending on what you mean by religion.
Yes, I do recall that about him, though I'm fuzzy on the details of his spirituality at this point.
Theists don't agree about what the best goals of religion are or about what religion is.
Yes, of course I agree. I'm just expressing my views.
People shout "O my God" during sex. Religionists use sex as a metaphor for the experience of "knowing" God [See the Son of Solomon in the Hebrew Bible]. Based on such evidence theism is unconsciously closer to sex than atheism.
That's an interesting theory. I really don't know.
Now you're just playing.
Of course. Playing is inherent in any philosophy where the first tenant is, "I don't know".
Religion exists to fulfill humankind's need for ultimate meaning. The atheist's need to feel they know comes from the same place.
Yes, that's clearly part of it. There's probably more to it. Remember, not everyone involved in religion is an ideologue, in fact, that's probably the minority. Religion is more than assertions.
It doesn't matter what you call it. Unless we destroy ourselves, religion will outlive us all.
Could be, it's surely been going on a long time already.
I don't have a goal of ending religion myself. I'm interested in trying to understand the human need that religion is trying to address.
An imperfect example. Hunting.
For most of our history, people hunted because they were physically hungry. Lots of rituals and opinions regarding bravery, skill, technique etc grew up around the activity of hunting. There were even philosophical perspectives about the relationship between hunter and hunted and so on. Hunting was central to many people's lives.
But now that (in the developed world at least) most everybody has ready access to food, hunting is not central to our lives anymore (except perhaps for those who pursue it as a hobby).
The "religion" of hunting was a big deal so long as the need driving interest in hunting existed. Once that need was met by some other method, an interest in hunting that was thousands of years old melted away naturally for most people.
Religion is just a means to an end, an attempt to meet a human need. Whether we like religion or not, it seems any thinking person might want to understand what need generates such a huge response.

On KD Vs Win-Loss
Like (2)
Lots of us are posting about KD what is what's important, what's not important, what's indicative of a good player, whose terrible.
Some claim that they do not care about KD and it does not represent the true stats of a player. I play 75% TDM because I just want to kill and move on, objective players (most) do play the game as it should be played and fight for that flag, tag, bomb, etc but their KD suffers because of it.
So I ask this COD community.
What's most important to YOU, a higher KD or the Win for that Match (any gamedmode)?
Many will answer honestly, some will embellish others will straight BS.
When I play objectives I play the objective for the win, if I can go positive that's good! But I personally pay more attention to my KD then my W/L.
well I normally play solo, so i will cater to my kd before a win.. being that I have no control over what my teammates do, so instead of going negative with them, ill kill wh@re and get a good kd and not care about the win or lose.. if I play in a group, im going for the win, but I still will not go negative to do it
This is the answer I was looking for, most players are like you. Solo KD is mostly important and will do what is necessary to avoid going negative. Thanks for your opinion.
For myself i'm happy as long as I finish in the top 3 in the end of round leaderboard although i'd take a win over a good KD but I don't think they have to be exclusive from each other my KD on KC has started to climb while also increasing the amount of tags i'm nabbing.
I play lots of solo and always go for the W. Hence why I have only a 2.2 kd and yet still have a 13+ win loss. Play for the win. You dont play board games just to roll high numbers do you? No you play to win.
Guy, you make a good point, but not everyone can posts those stats all the time. Oh and I play to win at almost everything I do.
And they don't have to be, your absoluty right. But push comes to shove, which of the two is on your first to do list?
If I have to choose then the win is way more important to me than my KD.
I prefer the win. When I play solo I get frustrated because people are playing for their own k/d. Why the hell are they playing Dom then? If you want some k/d play play some FFA. I will choose my wins over my kills any day. Do football players measure their skill in tackles or touchdowns? One player tackles it takes a team to get a touchdown. Do baseball players measure skill as hits or runs batted in? It's all for the win. If you play strictly for your kd and you have a 4.0 them good for you. Your true skill is measured in wins and losses.
My KD is no where near as good as thisguygotcha, but i always play for the Win even when i am playing solo. I wont always get it but i will do my best even if that means going 15 and 30, its very rare if we are losing that i don't have most caps
I actually kill whore more when we are winning and playing as a team cap 2 flags and control them, let the other team come to us.

Session FT 5.15
Broadening perspectives in the face of increasing risks.
- European Commission DG Research
- NeWater Project
- Millennium Project of the American Council for the United Nations University
- Centre for Water and Climate, Wageningen University and Research Centre
Water related risks have natural and manmade causes. Causes like globalisation and climate change already have tremendous implications for water availability and will continue to change the conditions for water management. The two hosts of this session offer unique expertise in dealing with risks in water management. The Millennium Project of the United Nations University is a geographically and institutionally dispersed think tank on early warning and analysis of global long-range opportunities, strategies and challenges of the future (www.acunu.org). The EU funded NeWater Project advocates adaptive water management as a proactive approach to manage water related risks and uncertainty (www.newater.info).
Participation is a precondition to deal with changing conditions in water management. The session centred on the exchange of experience of the local actions within the framework of adaptive water management. After a plenary introduction, participants met at round tables to explore the local actions and adaptive water management in more detail. Participants choose between local actions from the Amudarya basin (Central Asia), the Guadiana basin (Southern Europe), Mendoza (Argentina), the Orange basin (Southern Africa) and Valle de Mexico (Mexico). The local actions as well as the participants evaluated the session set-up as refreshing and useful.
Lessons learned
Adaptive water management is a promising extension of IWRM to deal with water related risks and changing conditions. The concept and procedures should be developed further. The concepts should be illustrated by local actions. The interaction of implementation and concept development is crucial both in building scientific evidence and in the communication of the concepts. More specific lessons from the session are:
- Institutional coordination and harmonization at national, regional and local levels is essential to facilitate change.
- There is a need for integrated approaches that take new realities and challenges in river basin into account, considering technical as well as social aspects.
- A thorough understanding of the current water system, including its actors, adaptive capacity, environment, cultural and socio-economic settings is crucial to identify barriers and opportunities for a transition to more adaptive water management.
- Successful small-scale pilot studies can help overcome resistance to change and increase adoption of new approaches.
- Development guidelines have to be location specific taking into account downstream consequences of development.
- Stakeholder education and the creation of bottom-up user associations appear crucial steps in attaining adaptive groundwater management, since command and control approaches have generally proven unsuitable.
Key messages
Water management is facing increasing uncertainty and complexity due to climate change and globalisation. "Living with change" implies a different approach to deal with risk. Adaptive water management is a promising extension of IWRM to deal with water related risks and changing conditions. Key recommendations related to adaptive water management and strengthening local actions are:
- Current water management should explicitly account for future changes. Selected management strategies should be robust and perform well under a range of possible, but initially uncertain, future developments.
- The development of future pathways and options for change should be based on knowledge of current water management and the experience gained in past projects, taking into account the socio-economic, cultural and political realities in the river basin.
- The chances of a community to deal with water related risks depend on site and region specific aspects: economy, social cohesion, government system, scale and magnitude of water related hazards.
- Local actions facilitate social learning, participation and the use of local knowledge.
- Stakeholder education and the creation of bottom-up user associations appear crucial steps in attaining adaptive water management.
- Stakeholder participation and partnership are strengthened through (i) community organizing; (ii) sustainable livelihood approaches; (iii) relationship-building; (iv) participatory research; (v) transparency; and (vi) training and capacity building.
- An increase in, and maintenance of, the flexibility and adaptive capacity of water management regimes should be a primary management goal.
Orientations for action
- Intensify observation of the hydrological characteristics and the performance of economic, societal and environmental indicators and identification of decisive factor(s) guiding the future water system.
- Establish processes of social learning fine tuned to the objectives of communities at various levels by encouraging local actions and securing policy support.
- Improve flexibility in the system through small-scale structures at lower level supported by local society through a participatory process considering hydrological, physical and organizational changes.
- Develop and test approaches that allow water users and managers to cope with uncertainty instead of trying to eliminate it.
- Create space for creative and out-of-the-box thinking. Entrenched perceptions and beliefs block innovation and change.
- Train a new generation of water management practitioners skilled in participatory system design and implementation.
Local Action presented
Central Asia, Amudarya basin: Adaptive Water Management under Uncertainty.
Umid Abdullaev, Design and Research Institute of the Uzbek Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, Maja Schlüter, UFZ - Centre for Environmental Research, Germany & Princeton University, US
Water resources in the Amudarya river basin sustain an intensive agricultural enterprise, human population in its oases and a variety of ecosystems that provide valuable ecosystem services. Water availability is highly variable demanding for strong adaptation of water management to droughts and floods. River basin management has been challenged by major changes in the political and socio-economic environment and increasing uncertainty in water availability. All river basin countries have engaged in reforms to adapt to the new realities. This NeWater case study aims to identify potentials and barriers to making water management more adaptive and ready to cope with current and future challenges. Activities are taking place through the year 2008 at different scales from the transboundary, to the regional and local levels.
New Activities: Bring together practitioners, stakeholders and scientists to compare debate and synthesize new development pathways for the Amudarya basin.
Argentina, Mendoza: Hydrologic Sustainability of Hillside Developments.
Jorge A. Maza, Instituto Nacional del Agua-Centro Regional Andino -Mendoza, Argentina and Raquel Zabala, Millenium Project, Argentina
Over the last years, speculative hillside developments with conventional urban planning criteria have aggravated storm water runoff conditions in downstream urban areas in Mendoza (Argentina). Storm runoff is 91% higher than in the undisturbed watershed. The developments applied the same criteria used in the plains: checkerboard pattern and, unfortunately, streets laid out in the direction of the maximum slope. Construction of such conventional residential areas affected the natural drainage in the watersheds, altered the course of the runoff and created a mismatch between runoff and the existing drainage system downstream. The large land movements have also considerably altered the landscape and the wildlife habitats that residents value so much.
This study shows that non-conventional urban development can substantially improve hydrologic conditions, decreasing the excess runoff that conventional development would cause by 80%. In addition the hydrologic response is improved not to exceed the runoff from an undisturbed watershed for a 5-year recurrence interval. The methods and results of the study can be of great interest for other locations where development in hillside areas without any regulation or no land use planning is taking place. The study is available for State and Local authorities to be used as the basis for a future land use regulation in the Great Mendoza hillside area or similar areas.
New Activities: To identify non-conventional urban development solutions for Greater Mendoza that reduce storm runoff in the downstream urban areas compared to conventional hillside developments.
Argentina, Gran Buenos Aires: Mitigación de ascenso de napas.
Oscar Valentin Lico, Instituto Nacional del Agua
Parts of the Gran Buenos Aires area suffer from rising groundwater level. In addition its quality is decreasing. A study was made on the impact of this problem, on the characteristics of the hydrological system and on the actual causes. Governmental agencies as well as the local population participated in this research. It appeared that the causes were multiple, but mainly man-made. Also the impact is related more to the human than the natural environment. The quality of live in often poor communities is threatened. The economic value of these areas are low mainly because the uncertainty and insecurity for socio-economic activity.
Spain: Groundwater Resources in the Upper Guadiana Basin: an ongoing tale of adaptation to rapid change.
Pedro Martínez-Santos, Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Dr Araceli Olmedo, stakeholder from the "General Community of Groundwater Users of Aquifer 23"
The Semiarid Upper Guadiana basin (Central Spain) spans 16,000km2 and is home to about 500,000 people. Over the last thirty years, rapid change and adaptation have been key to water resources management in the basin. While irrigation-based social and economic welfare has traditionally acted as the main driver behind the area's prosperity, it has also been a catalyst for unwanted environmental effects and complex legal reforms. These divergences are currently at the heart of widely voiced water conflicts, specifically on groundwater, both at the inter and intra-basin scale, and call for further adaptation in the dawn of the Water Framework Directive.
New Activities: To debate water management futures as an alternative to the present situation of relatively uncontrolled groundwater irrigation, water shortage and conflict prone water transfers.
Mexico, Mexico Valley: Adaptive Solutions for Drinking Water and Drainage.
Gustavo Paz Soldan, 'Sociedad Mundial del Futuro capítulo México' and Concepción Olavarietta, Millennium Project
Mexico City suffers from an integrated water problem: during centuries the soil settled because of the overexploitation of the groundwater, the subsidence of the soil created a lowering of the topography and problems of drainage. With the extension of the town the scale of drainage system enlarged and became more complex; the system functioned less. Funds for reconstruction of the drainage system had to compete with other priorities; so investments were delayed and maintenance neglected.
Rehabilitation and extension of the drainage system is essential; depression cannot be drained anymore; the capacity is insufficient under high rainfall conditions; temporary and local flooding cause economic loss. On top of that one has to fear high rainfall and increased floods because climatic change. The risk of inundation is increasing every decade. Technical solutions alone are not sufficient as also social, political economical and financial aspects influence the implementation.
New Activities: to test appropriate integral solutions for drinking water and drainage that avoid flooding, reduce the risks of failure of the drainage system and improve social security and human live.
Southern Africa, Orange Basin: Poverty Alleviation and Ecological Integrity.
Caroline Sullivan, Dermot O'Regan, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, UK
The Orange is the largest water shed in Africa south of the Zambezi. More than half of the catchment area is located in South Africa, with the remainder lying in Lesotho, Botswana and Namibia. The Orange basin is characterized by extremely variable rainfalls, ranging from 2000 mm per year at the source to 50 mm per year and thus extremely arid climatic conditions neat its mouth, and high evaporation of 2.000 to 2.500 mm. Irrigation dominates water use with 54 %, in contrast to 10 % that goes towards environmental demands and 2 % provided to urban and industrial use. The remaining 34 % is accounted for by evaporation and run-off to the ocean through rivers and canals.
The central aim of this case study of the NeWater project is to build preparedness for uncertainty in future water resources supply and demand. Capacity building in the use of scenarios, tools and incentives will assist in developing this preparedness. Furthermore, the generation of scenarios in association with project partners may help develop greater common skills, understanding and teamwork between the four countries in the Basin.
New Activities: To produce accessible water futures that illustrate the connectivity between water users and managers in the Orange, the potential consequences of various uncertainties, and the associated management options.

To date, over 45,000 lbs. of outdated technology has been recycled at Westminster through these drives.
Recycling through an E-Steward or R-2 certified recycler ensures that materials are disposed of properly, and not buried in landfills or exported to countries where workers are paid low wages and the infrastructure and legal framework is too weak to protect the environment, workers and communities.
There is no cost to consumers for recycling, though there may be a small cost for businesses to ensure that items are safely disposed of, which goes entirely to the recycler. AV and Westminster serve to promote and provide both labor and location, but make no money off of the drives.

Michael Thompson survived the brutal weekend conditions at PGA National to claim the Honda Classic by two strokes over former U.S. Open Champion, Geoff Ogilvy.
Already eight under at the halfway point of the tournament, Thompson looked to be the man to beat over the weekend. Playing at the top of the leaderboard, Thompson carded 4 bogeys and 4 birdies en route to his Saturday even par, 70 tally. The eight under total was good enough to earn Thompson a share of the 54 hole lead with fellow FJ staffer Luke Guthrie.
Playing in the final group for the second straight day, Thompson struck early with an eagle at the par 5 third hole to reach ten under par. Thompson dropped a shot at the next, but answered with a birdie on the following hole. Thompson, in FJ ICON and StaSof, managed to grind out a one under front nine, leaving him at 9 under for the championship.
Continuing his conservative play, Thompson made six straight pars before three putting for bogey at 16 -- a hole Oglivy birdied to get within two of Thompson. Ogilvy birdied 17, as well, to get within one of the Alabama grad, Thompson. Staying poised, Thompson rattled off a birdie on the last to shut the door on his competitors for his first PGA Tour victory.

On the LPGA Tour, 2012 Player of the Year Stacy Lewis continued her world beating play by winning the HSBC Women's Championship in Singapore. Tied for the lead at the start of the day, Lewis grinded through the first six holes at even par. She then launched a drive at the par five seventh hole leaving her only 200 yards to the stick. in FJ Sport BOA and StaSof, she hit what she considered one the best shots of her career nearly jarring the shot for albatross, she settled for the eagle and control of the tournament. Lewis added another birdie at the ninth to remain at the top of the leaderboard.
Playing with the lead is difficult even for a Player of the Year, "The last four or five holes, I was pretty nervous, I'm not going to lie," Lewis said post round of playing with the lead. Despite late bogeys, she would hold on for a one shot victory. The victory is her sixth on the LPGA Tour.
On the Web.com Tour, former college phenom Patrick Cantlay set the scoring record at the Colombia Championship by seven shots. Cantly's 18 under par total was good enough for a four stroke victory. "It feels really good to win. I felt in control all day," said the former UCLA Bruin, "This sets the year off on the right foot. Even though I'm one of the youngest guys out here, I feel really comfortable out here."
The win moves Cantlay to the top of the Web.com money list.

Los Angeles native, John Merrick won the Northern Trust Open at Historic Riviera Country Club with a par on the second sudden death playoff hole.
Merrick (FJ ICON and StaSof) shot three consecutive rounds under par to sit three strokes behind the 54 hole leader and defending champion, Bill Haas. With Haas struggling over the final 18, the UCLA product, Merrick capitalized making birdies on the tenth and eleventh holes to reach twelve under par. A late bogey let Merrick's competitors back into the tournament before parring in to post eleven under par. At the end of regulation, only one could match his score.
Moving to the 18th hole, both players managed to escape with pars on the first playoff hole. Moving to the famous drivable par four tenth hole, Merrick conservatively laid back to 90 yards leaving a full lob wedge into the green. Merrick played the wedge to 15 feet of the pin and calmly two putted for the win.
When asked what this win meant to Merrick, he was nearly speechless,"I can't put this into words. Growing up as a kid, coming out here, I just wanted to play this tournament."
This is Merrick's first win on the PGA Tour, also earning the 30 year old a spot in this year's Masters Tournament.

FootJoy proudly announces the selection of John Patrick Pignetti as its 2012 Sales Representative of the Year, his second time receiving the honor. The official presentation to recognize Pignetti for this distinguished award took place recently at the FJ National Sales Meeting in Orlando.
JP has been a valuable contributor to the Acushnet Company for more than 15 years, the last 11 with the FJ brand. Following his graduation from Penn State University, JP honed his sales skills in the Titleist Customer Service and Leadership departments. JP's first position with FootJoy was as an associate sales representative in Atlanta where he earned two FJ Gold Circle awards in three years. In 2004, JP moved to Birmingham, AL where he relished the opportunity to manage his own territory. During his five year tenure in Alabama, JP continued his solid performance, earning four Gold Circle awards and his first Sales Representative of the Year Award in 2006.
In 2009, JP received the opportunity to return to his dream territory in Atlanta and has excelled from the very beginning. He has delivered exceptional sales growth across all product categories and earned another three Gold Circle awards in that time, bringing his FootJoy total to an impressive 9 in 12 years.
"JP Pignetti is the consummate sales professional and a trusted business partner with all of his customers," said Jim Morrison, Vice President, FootJoy U.S. Sales. "Regardless of challenges that may be present, JP works relentlessly to drive win-win solutions for the long term."
JP and his family reside in Atlanta, GA.

Bernd stated in a recent interview with Sky Sport, "Last year was great and I want to at least match my success of last year and give myself the best chances to win big tournaments and improve my world ranking to enable me to compete in as many Major Championships and World Golf Championships as possible. It's all about winning championships and getting myself into good positions to challenge for big titles this year."
He even went as far to mention his fresh new apparel for the new year, "I really enjoy looking good on the golf course and feeling comfortable, so naturally I am really excited to be one of FootJoy's Apparel ambassadors in 2013. I really enjoy the FJ collection and have just been introduced to the whole line up for the 2013 season, which I am honoured and excited to be wearing this year on tour. It's important that you wear high performing golf apparel so that you can play your best in whatever weather conditions you may face out on the course. Whether it is golf clubs or apparel, a golfer's equipment should be the best fitting for that individual to perform their best and this is where FJ excel."
Bernd, we are just as excited as you are and look forward to having a stellar year with you representing FJ on the worldwide circuit!

Changing China
Giant on the move
The Price of Coal
What drives a miner to work in one of China's notoriously dangerous pits, where 3,000 people were killed in 2008 alone?
"We all know mining is dangerous, but what can we do?" Li Liangcang, a farmer form eastern China, asked me in his tiny rented miner's house in the country's frozen north. "I'm not young any more – 37 or 38 – and it's too late to learn a skill. It's not a question of choice. you have a family that depends on you. If you don't do this job, what else can you do?"
For his 56-year-old friend Zhu Xiuli, it's a similar story.
But then what would their families do without them?

Chinese coal to Copenhagen
Chinese coal mines are never far from domestic headlines and are increasingly gaining international attention as Copenhagen's climate change talks approach.
The talks will focus on setting emissions cuts to fight global warming and China, the world's largest polluter, is heavily reliant on fossil fuel.

Yardcocks Drop Series In Starkville, But Clinch No. 4 Seed In Hoover
The final series of the regular season didn't go quite as South Carolina might have hoped, but the Gamecocks did just enough, winning one of the three games, to lock up the No. 4 seed at this week's SEC Tournament, which gives them a first-round bye. A successful showing in the tourney could impact whether or not USC is chosen as a regional host site (though they likely will be), which may serve as extra motivation for the guys. Plus, it would be nice to get back into the win column before the national tournament starts.
South Carolina 4, Mississippi State 5
The Cocks took an early lead in Thursday night's game, putting up two runs in the first inning. Graham Saiko led off with a walk, Chase Vergason singled, and Joey Pankake tripled to get both guys in.
The Bulldogs cut that lead in half in the third inning. Nick Ammirati started things off with a base hit, Alex Detz coaxed a one-out walk, and Brett Pirtle singled with two outs to make the score 2-1.
Carolina padded their lead in the fifth inning, scoring their final two runs. Brison Celek knocked a one-out double, then Tanner English came through with a double of his own with two outs. Saiko followed that with a RBI base hit that put the visitors on top 4-1.
MSU responded and took the lead in the eighth, though. Wes Rea led off with a home run, C.T. Bradford singled, Demarcus Henderson laid down a bunt for a base hit, Ammirati brought Bradford across the plate with a single, and Adam Frazier came through with a RBI base hit of his own to tie the game. Then it was heartbreak time, as a wild pitch, intentional walk, and an unintentional free pass brought in another run to make it 5-4 in favor of the home team. Rea ended the inning with a groundout and the Bulldogs left the bases loaded, or things could have been even worse.
Yardcocks starter Nolan Belcher worked 6 1/3 innings and allowed nine hits, one run, walked three batters, and struck out four. After a brief appearance by Adam Westmoreland, Tyler Webb, making his school record-breaking 103rd appearance, pitched the final inning and gave up four hits, three runs, and issued two walks. He took the loss and drops to 2-2. After the game, Webb said he would give up 100 appearances in exchange for the save, which was heartbreaking.
Mississippi State starter Luis Pollorena went 4 2/3 innings and surrendered five hits, four runs, and walked one batter. Chad Girodo threw one inning, issued a walk, tallied two K's, and earned the win, improving to 6-1 on the season. Jonathan Holder threw the final inning, struck out a batter, and earned the save, his 15th of the season.
Celek had two hits to lead South Carolina at the plate, while Bradford, Henderson, and Ammirati all had three to lead the Bulldogs.

Very flattering
At 46 and post-two children, I need something that is not too skimpy, but doesn't look frumpy. This is the perfect answer. Most bottoms are either too low in front, or have too much fabric in back. These are a perfect match of just a tiny bit higher in front, but still looking sexy. And they are so comfortable too. And a good quality material.

Rub 'n Buff
We are in the process of decorating our dining room. And the brass chandy had to go. The problem is, the ceiling is really high. While I was googling "indoor spray paint" (yes, I was really hoping we could just spray paint it without having to rent scaffolding to take it down), I came across the "original wax metallic finish" - Rub 'n Buff.
For less than $4 at Michaels, it was worth a shot. Basically, you just kind of paint it on with your finger. And it creates a nice metallic finish, similar to a satin or semi-gloss spray paint.
Good-bye, 1993.
Hello, 2010.
It took me about 30 minutes to paint. It is not perfect, but much better than before. The main problem we have now is trying to figure out what to do with the brass chain that kind of clashes with the updated silver chandelier. But who will really look up that high anyway, right?

Thanks for using AMACO's Rub 'n Buff! I've seen several chandelier transformations, and they all look great just like yours. There are 17 colors of Rub 'n Buff available, you can see and purchase all at www.amaco.com.

- Amanda said...
It looks awesome! you could get a chain cover for it. They usually have velcro so you just wrap it around the chain and secure the sides. To get it all the way to the top maybe get it started towards the bottom then get an extendable stick (Home Depot) -and use it to hoist the fabric up the chain.? its a thought.
- October 4, 2010 at 1:25 PM
NICE!! I agree, a chain cover would be perfect and soften the space up. What's the color of your walls? VERY nice!

What a great idea to paint it silver. And an even better idea to use the Rub 'n Buff. It looks really good.
I've used Rub 'n Buff for 15-20 years! Took a lamp to a lamp refinisher and she introduced me to it. Love the stuff. I just love saying the name. Rub 'n Buff. Fun to say. It's come a long way since then. - October 4, 2010 at 1:48 PM
- annenewman said...
The paint color is "Dark Ash" by BEHR. My husband was a little worried it was going to be too dark...it took a little convincing and now he is now sold on the color :o)
The chain cover is a great idea...I will definitely be checking into that one! Thanks! - October 4, 2010 at 2:24 PM
- MJ said...
Oh my goodness! Did you just rub it on with your finger over the whole chandelier?? I was getting ready to spray paint a chandy tomorrow, but you may have changed my mind if it's that easy! :) Does it dry to a finish like paint? Thanks so much!
- October 4, 2010 at 9:46 PM
- annenewman said...
Yep...kind of like finger painting! :) It did not really take too long, and saved my husband from having to take the entire thing down to spray paint. I think the finish looks better than spray paint; it has a perfect metallic sheen and looks great! Would love to see your version!
- October 5, 2010 at 6:53 AM
- Jennifer said...
Ha ha! I have the exact same chandelier and did the exact same thing to it!!! Except mine took FOREVER to do, probably because I did it while I was pregnant and my attention span was all over 2-3 minutes at a time. Luckily, my husband was willing to take it down, so I'd sit on the floor and work on it. It WAS super easy. Messy, but easy, and I absolutely adore the finished product.

Hi Annie! Just read your guest post over at Primitive & Proper and my chin nearly hit the ground when I saw this idea. Thank you so much for sharing. I've been looking for a temporary solution to improving the look of my brass chandy, but dreaded the thought of having to take it down to spray. I can't wait to try this!

- molly in nc said...
I love this re-do and am just wondering if you had any problems getting the rub n buff to stick to the shiny brass. I've tried it on an old brass doorhandle just to test it out and can't get it to stick. Any thoughts?
Thanks!! - August 2, 2012 at 10:37 AM
- Anne @ Hello Newmans said...
Hi, Molly. I did not really have much trouble getting it to stick on there. I just tried to use a thin coat and then fill in as needed. Gook luck and thanks for stopping by!
- August 2, 2012 at 7:19 PM
- bradley turner said...
I'd love to use Rub-n-Buff on the old brass fireplace insert that we have to change it to that dark oiled bronze look. I've bought the stuff and tried it in some inconspicuous areas. The question I have is this.... The first "coat" you put on seems to be a little streaky - with the brass still shining through. Do you wait until it's dry to do another coat? Then, do you "buff" after you've finished all your coats? I'm not looking for it to be shiny, and I don't mind a little texture, but, just not sure how long to wait......Oh, and what did you use to apply it and buff it? Thanks for the info!
- October 5, 2012 at 2:41 PM
- Anne @ Hello Newmans said...
I have used it on a lot of difference surfaces. I have found that the easiest way to smooth it out is just to apply with my finger in a thin coat and rub it on until it is smooth and covers everything. I only used one coat on the light fixture and it worked just fine. and then you can take a soft cloth and smooth it out even more. Hope that helps a little! Good luck.

Related Media: Diabetes - Your Management Plan
If you have diabetes, you are not alone. There are many Americans who have either type 1 (insulin-dependent) or type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes. Effective treatment requires vigilant monitoring to keep glucose levels in a healthy range. Chronically elevated glucose in the blood can lead to serious eye, kidney, heart, and nerve disease. Fortunately, there are technologies that offer convenient ways to manage the disease and prevent complications.
The standard way of measuring blood glucose involves taking a blood sample from your fingertip and using a meter to check your glucose levels. But there are advanced systems, called continuous glucose monitors (or CGM), that offer more convenience and less pain. With a CGM, you place a tiny sensor under your skin. This sensor, which needs to be replaced every few days, measures glucose levels and sends the information to a wireless device that you wear. You can program the monitor; for example, it can take measurements every five minutes (around the clock) and sound an alarm if your levels become too high or too low.
Depending on the product, the information stored on the device can be downloaded to your computer. Special software allows you to track your levels and identify trends, providing important data to share with your doctor. Additionally, some devices allow you to press a button to record "events," like when you give yourself an insulin shot, have a meal, or exercise. This information gets captured, as well, to create a picture of your diabetes management.
The downside of CGMs is that they may not be as accurate as the standard meters and finger prick samples. If you decide to switch to a CGM, your doctor may have you use both methods to test your glucose before changing your insulin dose.
While insulin pumps have been around for several decades, there are other products that pair the pump with the CGM. This system is comprised of a sensor and glucose monitor, a pump (a small device that contains insulin), and tubing that is inserted under the skin to deliver insulin. The monitor transmits information wirelessly to the pump, which has a calculator to determine how much insulin you should receive. The dose is based on a number of factors, like the time and amount of your last insulin dose, your current blood glucose level, and the amount of carbs that you plan to eat. By combining technologies, these advanced products are designed to help you manage your diabetes by automatically fine-tuning the insulin dose, avoiding calculation errors, and adding convenience.
The A1C (also called the glycated hemoglobin or HbA1c) test shows the glucose levels in your body over the past 2-3 months. This test is important because it gives you and your doctor an overall view of how well you are managing diabetes and whether you need changes to your treatment plan.
In the past, you had to visit your doctor to have this test done. Now, you can check your A1C levels at home using a finger prick test with results available within minutes—no waiting in the doctor's office and no waiting for results to return from the lab.
The accuracy of these home tests may vary, though. If you are interested in using one, your doctor can recommend a product and teach you how to use it. Remember, too, that you need to share the test results with your doctor so she can make adjustments to your plan as necessary.
Researchers are constantly working on new treatments, some of which have already been used successfully by people with diabetes throughout the world. Of course, the ultimate solution for people who are insulin-dependent would be to enable the body to make its own insulin again. Better methods for transplanting healthy islet cells (insulin producers of the pancreas) or coaxing stem (embryonic) cells to produce insulin may one day offer a cure for diabetes. Even without a cure, today's products have brought diabetes management a long way since the discovery of insulin in 1921.

An authentic trolley with brass rails and bells and outfitted with modern padded seats and air conditioning glides through St. Louis's historic neighborhoods as knowledgeable tour guides wax poetic about the city's past and present. Guests gaze out of the trolley's charming arched windows during the 23-mile ride, catching sight of a much larger arch standing sentry over downtown sites such as St. Louis Union Station and the Mississippi River. Tour guides fling droplets of wisdom like handfuls of rice at famished newlyweds, sharing anecdotes about historic Laclede's Landing and Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair, the first summer Olympic games held in the U.S., and the first forest.
The fully narrated tour departs and returns from Lumiere Place Casino on the riverfront. Tuesday and Thursday evenings, fearless tour goers can follow along a haunted walking tour that highlights some of the city's macabre past, including the St. Louis fire and the Bloody Island.
There are a lot of places sinister ghouls can hide in 29 acres of forest. But unfortunately for STLFear's guests, only the light of the moon will guide them as they navigate the forest's haunted depths, forcing them to rely on their wits as they make their way through the leaf-strewn paths. Visitors can test their mettle on Friday and Saturday nights in October until 11 p.m. when the staff closes off the gates. STLFear also offers passes so that guests can skip the line and a coffin in which brave visitors can take novelty photographs.
A tradition-rich NHL franchise, the St. Louis Blues look to continue their 2010–2011 campaign of slap shots, penalty kills, and all-around pucksmanship as they scrap for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. See if you can catch a glimpse of your favorite player amidst the blurred and helmeted faces of Eric Brewer, David Backes, and the rest of the squad as you cheer for the home team or wear a fake mustache and infiltrate a crowd of the visiting team's fans. Kids 3 and younger get in free, though they are not guaranteed a seat, so bring along a lap or your dandling knee. Hockey is like the magnificent mutt of the sporting world. You get the suspense of watching an object swish through a net (like in basketball or soccer), the thrill of rambunctious brawls (boxing), the elegance of ice skating, and the utter brutality of golf all combined into one action-packed event.
Staffed by experienced coaches and computers who've sworn allegiance to the three laws of golfing robotics, GolfTEC's motion sensors and high-speed cameras monitor swings and break down each individual's form on a high-definition video display to get results. Sensors chirp with approval whenever they detect the perfect stroke or an especially witty golfing joke. GolfTEC's certified personal coaches will point out flaws and strengths while providing golfers with tips on how to permanently improve their game from tee to green through a detailed, diagnostic gameplan.
Just a short drive from the metropolitan tangle of St. Louis, Twin Rivers Canoe Rentals releases urbanites into the gentle, spring-fed waters of the Meramec River. Adventurers may choose which vessel will best cut through the water's rippled pane that flickers with shadows from the canopies of trees lining the shore. In a kayak, a single boatman may ply past largemouth bass and flathead catfish or spy a whitetail deer sneaking a drink on the banks while its doe is at church bunco. Canoes can comfortably seat two people and a cooler, whereas rafts transform five to seven passengers into an inflatable party. The leisurely pace and tranquil environs encourage groups to stop and swim or to tether to shore for a picnic.:m]]
AC St. Louis triumphantly brings men's outdoor professional soccer back to the nation's soccer capital. STL's team of international and local footballers will weave in, over, and around their opponents—all under the all-knowing guidance of head coach Dale Schilly. Footballing fans, meanwhile, will get to cheer from the stands, refrain from hooliganism, and challenge each other to see who can shout "Gooooooooooooooaaaalll!" the longest.

Two Pennington Gap, Va., residents have been arrested and charged for their alleged involvement in a break-in at the Rose Hill Pharmacy on Thomas Walker Road in Rose Hill, Va.
Molly Marie Napier, 24, and Damian Lambert, 22, were charged with attempted breaking and entering, conspiracy and destruction of property less than $1,000.
They were being held at the Duffield Regional Jail for arraignment in general district court.
On Wednesday, at approximately 1:46 a.m., the Lee County Sheriff's Office dispatch received a call that a person was trying to break into the pharmacy.
Lt. Chris Oakley, Deputy Dave Seals and criminal investigator Bobby Ellis were dispatched to the scene.
After reviewing surveillance video, it showed a man wearing a sweatshirt trying to pry the door open on the west end of the pharmacy with a crowbar, according to a press release.
Police said the video showed the suspect leave on foot and go into the woods.
According to the press release, officers found the subject in a car in the Super Dollar parking lot. The driver of the car was identified as Napier and the suspect who allegedly attempted to break into the pharmacy was Lambert.
Officers said they were able to identify Lambert from the surveillance video.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, a legal think tank at the New York University School of Law that has criticized the increase in what it sees as prohibitive voting laws, there have been 25 laws and two executive actions passed in 19 states since the beginning of 2011 which "could make it harder to vote."
However, "nearly a dozen courts overturned or weakened restrictive measures, and the Department of Justice blocked others," the group wrote on its web site.
Recent court rulings
In August, a federal appeals court in Washington struck down the Texas voter ID law requiring photos for voters at the polls, calling it racially discriminatory. Republican Gov. Rick Perry signed the voter ID measure into law last year, but it had yet not gone into effect because the federal Voting Rights Act requires changes in Texas voting laws to be pre-cleared by the Justice Department.
A Pennsylvania judge ruled last week that state officials cannot enforce a new voter identification law in next month's presidential election. Prior to the new law, first-time voters in Pennsylvania were allowed to present documents like bank statements and utility bills in lieu of photo identification. Under the new law, all voters would have to present a valid photo ID -- one that is sanctioned by the state -- before they cast their ballots.
To get a photo ID, residents must have a valid Social Security card; an official birth certificate or U.S. citizenship documents; and two proofs of residency, such as a utility bill or tax records.
That same week, a federal appeals court sided with the Obama campaign and Democrats in their lawsuit against Ohio over a restriction the state had placed on early voting.
Obama's campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in July over the restriction, which would have closed early in-person voting at the end of the day on the Friday before the election for all voters except those covered by a federal voting law. The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voter Act required the state to maintain early voting for members of the military, their family members, and U.S. citizens living outside the country.
However, a federal court panel in Washington on Wednesday ruled in favor of South Carolina's voter photo ID law, but said it cannot go into effect until next year because there's too little time to implement it for this November's election.
The three-judge panel said South Carolina's law does not discriminate against racial minorities as the Justice Department and other opponents had argued.

Just got my Baked Potato today (5'3 RF) after 3 months of waiting (!), and it looks hectic! Was so stoked to take it out for a paddle today (2-3ft mush). Handled perfectly, was super fast through the lines, tore up the swell. Was sooo happy!
However, I found that during my ride it had sustained a slight crack on the side of the nose - totally devastated! Was just wondering if anyone else had encountered softish rails, as I was surfing a beach break and really don't understand how the rail could have gotten damaged? Nothing of any significance occured: no massive wipeouts // spills, no drop-ins, nothing really that could have explained how it occurred (perhaps seaweed? there was a little // alot washing around inshore).
Have loved my FST Hellfire for the last year, and whilst I am absolutely stoked with the Baked, a little bummed that it occurred on the first ride and that I will have a week downtime for repairs. So, the high (great board, soo fast!) and the lows (damaged rail) of surfing!

Complaints of bullying in our public and private schools are on the rise. School officials and administrators have failed to treat these reports seriously.
State of Washington laws and school policies against bullying are seldomly enforced.
Bullying is not just limited to children. Teachers, bus drivers, secretaries and office administrators can also be victims of vicious and insensitive treatment by others which rises to the level of actionable bullying.
Schools need to take these claims seriously. When schools do not take these reports seriously, lawsuits can result from students or employees being hurt or discriminated against by others.
Because schools have failed to listen to students and employees who have been subject to ongoing bullying, the Washington state legislature in 2002 enacted laws to prohibit bullying and harassment in the school setting:
Harassment, intimidation, and bullying prevention policies and procedures — Model policy and procedure — Training materials — Posting on web site — Rules — Advisory committee.
(1) By August 1, 2011, each school district shall adopt or amend if necessary a policy and procedure that at a minimum incorporates the revised model policy and procedure provided under subsection (4) of this section that prohibits the harassment, intimidation, or bullying of any student. It is the responsibility of each school district to share this policy with parents or guardians, students, volunteers, and school employees in accordance with rules adopted by the superintendent of public instruction. Each school district shall designate one person in the district as the primary contact regarding the antiharassment, intimidation, or bullying policy. The primary contact shall receive copies of all formal and informal complaints, have responsibility for assuring the implementation of the policy and procedure, and serve as the primary contact on the policy and procedures between the school district, the office of the education ombudsman, and the office of the superintendent of public instruction.
(2) "Harassment, intimidation, or bullying" means any intentional electronic, written, verbal, or physical act, including but not limited to one shown to be motivated by any characteristic in RCW 9A.36.080(3), or other distinguishing characteristics, when the intentional electronic, written, verbal, or physical act:
(a) Physically harms a student or damages the student's property; or
(b) Has the effect of substantially interfering with a student's education; or
(c) Is so severe, persistent, or pervasive that it creates an intimidating or threatening educational environment; or
(d) Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
Nothing in this section requires the affected student to actually possess a characteristic that is a basis for the harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
(3) The policy and procedure should be adopted or amended through a process that includes representation of parents or guardians, school employees, volunteers, students, administrators, and community representatives. It is recommended that each such policy emphasize positive character traits and values, including the importance of civil and respectful speech and conduct, and the responsibility of students to comply with the district's policy prohibiting harassment, intimidation, or bullying.
(4)(a) By August 1, 2010, the superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with representatives of parents, school personnel, the office of the education ombudsman, the Washington state school directors' association, and other interested parties, shall provide to the education committees of the legislature a revised and updated model harassment, intimidation, and bullying prevention policy and procedure. The superintendent of public instruction shall publish on its web site, with a link to the safety center web page, the revised and updated model harassment, intimidation, and bullying prevention policy and procedure, along with training and instructional materials on the components that shall be included in any district policy and procedure. The superintendent shall adopt rules regarding school districts' communication of the policy and procedure to parents, students, employees, and volunteers.
(b) The office of the superintendent of public instruction has the authority to update with new technologies access to this information in the safety center, to the extent resources are made available.
(c) Each school district shall by August 15, 2011, provide to the superintendent of public instruction a brief summary of its policies, procedures, programs, partnerships, vendors, and instructional and training materials to be posted on the school safety center web site, and shall also provide the superintendent with a link to the school district's web site for further information. The district's primary contact for bullying and harassment issues shall annually by August 15th verify posted information and links and notify the school safety center of any updates or changes.
(5) The Washington state school directors' association, with the assistance of the office of the superintendent of public instruction, shall convene an advisory committee to develop a model policy prohibiting acts of harassment, intimidation, or bullying that are conducted via electronic means by a student while on school grounds and during the school day. The policy shall include a requirement that materials meant to educate parents and students about the seriousness of cyberbullying be disseminated to parents or made available on the school district's web site. The school directors' association and the advisory committee shall develop sample materials for school districts to disseminate, which shall also include information on responsible and safe internet use as well as what options are available if a student is being bullied via electronic means, including but not limited to, reporting threats to local police and when to involve school officials, the internet service provider, or phone service provider. The school directors' association shall submit the model policy and sample materials, along with a recommendation for local adoption, to the governor and the legislature and shall post the model policy and sample materials on its web site by January 1, 2008. Each school district board of directors shall establish its own policy by August 1, 2008.
(6) As used in this section, "electronic" or "electronic means" means any communication where there is the transmission of information by wire, radio, optical cable, electromagnetic, or other similar means. [2010 c 239 § 2; 2007 c 407 § 1; 2002 c 207 § 2.]
Recently I represented two women school bus drivers who were bullied and harassed in the course of their work at a school district after their complaints of bullying, harassment and discrimination were ignored. The case settled for $425,000 shortly before trial.

text: In addition to my post in late November about the textbook bubble (spurred by this post from AEI's Mark Perry), the Atlantic's Jordan Weissmann joins the discussion, asking, "Why Are College Textbooks So Absurdly Expensive?" (also the title of his article). It is a good question, and one that highlights the danger of disconnecting the determination of prices from the subjective valuing of consumer demand. There is no competition, no free market, where students are required to buy only certain books for their classes at artificially inflated prices. Weissmann provides a helpful summary of Kevin Carey's related Slate article as follows:
