On Wednesday, June 27, 2012, the Kalamazoo Jeter's Leaders visited Lakeside Academy to follow up on their visit during the holiday season. Lakeside Academy is a Sequel Youth and Family Services program that focuses on the confrontation and redirection of negative behavior while recognizing desired, positive behavior.
To start the day, the Lakeside Academy Titans performed original spoken word for the Leaders and took the Leaders on a tour of the campus. The tour showed the Leaders the residence halls, the classrooms and the auditorium. While on the tour, the youth explained a typical day living at Lakeside Academy. They discussed their class schedule, living in a residence hall with other teenagers and their goals for when they graduate from Lakeside.
After the tour, it was lunch time. The Lakeside Academy staff prepared grilled burgers and hot dogs, fresh fruit and cookies for the Leaders and youth. During lunch, the Leaders and the youth had a chance to continue their conversations about life at Lakeside and life as a Jeter's Leader.
Once everyone had eaten lunch, the Lakeside Academy staff led the students to a shaded outdoor area to wrap up the day and discuss ways the teens can continue to work together. Some of the ideas included the Titans' visiting the Leaders at Western Michigan University for a college tour, working on a community service project together and attending a Jeter's Leaders Leadership Conference. The Jeter's Leaders and the Lakeside Academy youth are hoping to continue sharing ideas and working together in the Kalamazoo community.
At each Annual Banquet, the Leaders invite a keynote speaker. This year the keynote speaker was Timasha Woods, Jeter's Leaders Class of 2003. Woods remained in contact with the staff and Leaders and was happy to accept the initiation. Ms. Woods' message was to stay involved with Jeter's Leaders and one's community, wherever life may take you. She stressed that giving back made her remember the great times she had as a Jeter's Leader and reminded her to reach back to the program that helped develop her leadership skills. Ms. Woods also encouraged the Leaders to build positive relationships with the people in their lives and to be a positive person. Another message she delivered was to take advantage of all the opportunities available to the Leaders now, because they are once in a lifetime opportunities.
To end, each graduating senior was presented with his or her earned stipend of $3,000, which awards the students for their four years of hard work. Afterward all of the current Leaders and new alumni had a chance to welcome the new freshman Jeter's Leaders inductees into the program. At the end of the evening, there were a lot of hugs but not goodbyes because the new Leaders and graduates would be spending the summer with the program preparing for the Washington, D.C., Service Project.
While at Occidental College, the Leaders learned that President Barack Obama was enrolled at the school during his undergraduate years. The Leaders were impressed by the beautiful campus, as well as the wall dedicated to the President outside the library. At UCLA, the Leaders were able to learn about the school from three UCLA students who also gave them a special tour at the renowned University's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Overall it was a great trip for the Leaders, as they were able to learn about new schools, new careers and also enjoyed the sights and weather of California. After the trip many Leaders were eagerly looking forward to applying to these schools in the near future.
The Jeter's Leaders are a select group of high school students from Greater Kalamazoo and New York City who are committed to leading a healthy lifestyle. The Leaders are ambassadors to Derek and carry out the Turn 2 Foundation's mission of supporting and promoting healthy lifestyles for today's youth. Members are dedicated to staying drug and alcohol free. They participate in community events, attain high academic marks and are devoted to setting examples for younger students. Over the past year, two outstanding Kalamazoo Jeter's Leaders have displayed exceptional and consistent leadership qualities. Each has exhibited a positive attitude under adversity, morality when making decisions, and stood up to challenges when needed. Their outstanding leadership qualities have also been recognized by their peers and consequently, they have all been named to leadership positions within the Kalamazoo Jeter's Leaders Program. The Turn 2 Foundation is proud to recognize the following Jeter's Leaders, J'Nairo and Tracy, and thank them for their hard work and dedication as positive youth leaders.
After arriving on campus, the Leaders met their tour guides and started the tour at the famous Golden Dome, also called the Main Building. The guides took the group through the campus student center where they were able to get a real feel for the energy on the campus. The guides then led the Leaders through one of the major classroom buildings and a technology science lab. After touring the buildings, the Leaders made their way across the quad, past the library, past the amazing football stadium, and by "Touchdown Jesus", a nickname given to the large mural entitled "The Word of Life" by Millard Sheets of the resurrected Jesus. The mural was installed in 1964 on the Hesburgh Library and looms over the stadium mirroring the raised arms of a referee signifying a touchdown. To wrap up the walking tour, the guides showed the Leaders the residence halls where they could potentially be living.
Before heading back to Kalamazoo, the Leaders visited the College Football Hall of Fame in Downtown South Bend. The Hall of Fame was full of exhibits that demonstrated the entire history of college football. The Leaders watched videos about the evolution of collegiate football and participated in football skills tests. They kicked field goals, went head-to-head with tackle dummies, threw touchdown passes to receivers, tested their vertical leaps and performed agility drills.
All of the Leaders enjoyed visiting the University of Notre Dame, which they saw first-hand was an institution steeped in tradition. They were also thankful to have visited the College Football Hall of Fame before it moves to Atlanta in 2013. The entire trip proved to be an amazing experience for the Leaders!
This past October the Jeter's Leaders joined their Proud 2 Be Me-Washington mentees on a trip to Nottawa Fruit Farm in Sturgis, Mich. Upon arrival everyone was welcomed with donuts and apples before gearing up to participate in the many activities the farm offers. After the snack, the group set out for their first activity -- a human hamster wheel! The younger students stepped into the large wheel while the Jeter's Leaders helped them roll across the field. The activity was a great ice breaker and gave them a unique learning opportunity about trust. The next activity, the catapult challenge, let the students load up water balloons onto the slingshot while they aimed to knock down pumpkins that were set up yards away. The Leaders assisted the youth with putting up their water balloons and aiming techniques. The two activities were a great way to start the day!
The last activity was a fun hay ride and tour of the farm where they were able to see all the growing fruits and vegetables. Halfway through the ride, the group made a pit stop to run through the sorghum fields. Afterward they got back on to ride and headed to their final destination, a pumpkin patch. When they got off the wagon, the participants were told that everyone would be allowed to choose their own pumpkin to take home, as long as they followed one rule: They had to be able to carry it themselves! This proved to be a challenge for some kids who chose pumpkins twice their size!
On the bus ride back to Kalamazoo the students talked about the fun activities they participated in and how important it was to work together and as a team. The trip was a great way to kick off a fun-filled year of mentoring!
Since its launch in 1996, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $23 million to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles. Learn more »

VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC (9W-5L-5D) continued their impressive form in front of 20,206 fans at BC Place on Sunday as they saw off Chicago Fire (6W-9L-3D) with a comfortable 3-1 win.
Highlights: Whitecaps FC 3 - 1 Chicago Fire
Camilo scored a quick brace in the second half with substitute Kekuta Manneh adding a third. Whitecaps FC looked on course for a second successive clean sheet as well until Chicago pulled a goal back in added time. The victory brings their unbeaten streak to six matches and keeps the 'Caps as the only remaining undefeated team at home in Major League Soccer (MLS).
Head coach Martin Rennie named the same starting lineup that sealed the historic win against Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders FC last weekend. There was a change on the bench though for Vancouver as Danish goalkeeper David Ousted was named as a substitute for the first time following his move from Randers FC.
There was some early action for Brad Knighton as the reigning MLS Player of the Week had to make a close-range save from Chris Rolfe in the second minute after Mike Magee pumped the ball into the Whitecaps FC box.
Chicago came even closer on 10 minutes when the referee awarded the Fire a dubious looking corner. Magee drilled the ball to the front post where Jeff Larentowicz met the delivery with a downward header, but the in-form Knighton managed to smother the chance with another fine stop.
A sensational opener came close on 41 minutes when a ball forward from Knighton was headed on by Chicago defender Austin Berry and landed perfectly for Kenny Miller. The Scottish striker struck a sweet left-footed volley from 25 yards that sailed agonizingly wide of the goal.
Pressing forward, there was another chance two minutes later when some tenacious play from Miller resulted in a throw-in for Whitecaps FC. Corey Hertzog launched the ball into the box where Berry again headed the ball on favourably for Vancouver as the ball fell to Camilo in front on goal, but the Brazilian lofted his shot over the bar as the teams went in level at the break, 0-0.
Clearly motivated to keep their home unbeaten record intact, the 'Caps came out flying in the second half. They nearly had the perfect start with some good link up play on the right on 47 minutes. Young-Pyo Lee played the ball in to Gershon Koffie and the midfielder marauded forward before laying it off to Miller. From outside the box, the striker caressed a sublime curling effort that looked to be heading in but rebounded off the inside of the post before being cleared to safety.
There was a clearer sight on goal for Miller on 52 minutes when Camilo delivered a searching ball in from the right that found the Scot at the back post. However, a missed swing from Austin Berry was enough to distract Miller as his contact on the ball was not enough to tap into the gaping net.
Despite Vancouver's dominance after halftime, it was Chicago who next had an opportunity when on 56 minutes they broke quickly. Magee floated a ball into the box that found Rolfe free at the back post. However, with an open chance, Rolfe could not direct his header on goal.
Chicago came close again on the hour when Magee cut in from the right and fired off a speculative effort from well outside the box that went narrowly wide. There was a sense of déjà vu when a minute later the striker found space outside the area and again fired just wide with his weaker left foot.
Vancouver looked to gain momentum once again and almost scored on 63 minutes when Nigel Reo-Coker played in Lee and the fullback struck a low shot towards the far post that was only kept out by a smart save from Fire 'keeper Paolo Tornaghi.
On 66 minutes, Whitecaps FC finally got the goal that their second half efforts deserved. The play began when Knighton launched the ball forward for Camilo. The striker then controlled the high ball, cleverly poked past Rolfe and Shaun Francis. Once in the box, the Brazilian turned Francis again before finishing past Tornaghi for the opening goal.
Five minutes later, Vancouver doubled their lead when substitute Manneh played the ball through the Fire defence for the onrushing Camilo. The Brazilian looked to have lost the chance when he was dispossessed by Tornaghi, but he won back the ball and finished under the Chicago 'keeper for his second of the afternoon - bringing him to the top of the MLS goalscoring race with 12 goals on the season, which also matches his 2011 total.
Chicago still had some fight in them and almost got a foot back into the match on 76 minutes when a cross was headed back across the box by Maicon Santos to Magee. The striker struck a fierce close-range shot that was kept out by a lunging block from Brad Rusin to prevent an almost certain goal.
With a hat-trick in his sights, there was almost another goal for Camilo with 10 minutes remaining when Reo-Coker played the ball wide for Miller to drive in a cross from the right. Camilo got on the end of the cross but his scuffed effort was saved comfortably by Tornaghi.
Whitecaps FC sealed the win on 83 minutes after some persistent play from Manneh as he looked to make space for a cross from the left. His initial delivery was blocked but just when it looked like he would play the ball across again, the young rookie fired a low shot into the near corner for Vancouver's third goal.
Despite the commanding lead, there was still work to do for Knighton when on 89 minutes Magee again tried his luck from outside the box but the 'keeper kept out the strike with a strong save.
The 'Caps were eventually beaten in the fourth minute of added time when Fire substitute Joel Lindpere crossed to Maicon Santos, whose header struck the post. The ball fell again to Lindpere and the Estonian swung in a second cross that this time was headed in by Patrick Nyarko to make the final score 3-1 to Whitecaps FC.
After adding two goals to his MLS-leading tally, Camilo was awarded the Budweiser Man of the Match award.
Next up for the in-form Blue and White is a trip to California to take on two-time defending MLS Cup champions LA Galaxy. Kickoff next Saturday, July 20, is at 7:30 p.m. PT at the StubHub Center.

Kate Middleton's Wedding Attire As Imagined By Designers Who Will Never Dress Her
Who has a lot of opinions about what Kate Middleton should wear the day she becomes a princess? Designers, that's who! From Karl Lagerfeld, who favors "high boots," to Christian Lacroix, who designed an Elizabethan bodice, everyone has a fantasy.

Sierra Nevada uses phosphoric acid to treat their brewing water to 5.5 pH. I know they add salts to the kettle for some beers.
I can't really think of a good reason to add Epsom salt to beer. Yeast only need like 5ppm of Mg. Any more than that isn't necessary, or wise. Epsom salt tastes nasty (bittersalz auf Deutsch) so why do you want to drink it?Water treatment isn't a magic bullet, and if you're not exactly sure what you're doing, your treatment is more likely to harm than help. (Mash pH is a different issue, that needs to be in the proper range no matter what).

Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This chef's knife, which is among his most dramatic to date, is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This high performance chef's knife is a perfect choice as a primary knife in the kitchen. The long, deep-bellied blade is well suited for slicing vegetables and meats. The gentle arch of the cutting edge is perfect for a rocking chopping motion with plenty of finger clearance over a cutting board.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed Bill Burke in conjunction with Mastersmith Ed Fowler and creates some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere. The blade was forged to shape from Bill's Star Burst pattern damascus. This modified ladder pattern follows the curve of the knife for a particularly elegant chatoyant effect.
The handle is formed from a single piece of sheep horn. The horn was carved for a perfect grip -- swelling to fill out the palm. Sheep horn is unique in that it become 'grippy' when wet, making it a perfect choice for use in the kitchen. It holds up exceptionally well to the heavy demands of either a home or commercial kitchen. The knife has perfect balance and this ensures it is as much of a joy to use as it is to look at!

InStyle is a monthly women's fashion magazine that was launched in 1993 in the United States. There are now several international versions, as well.
- The November 2011 issue featured a spread on Miss Piggy, modeling a series of famous designer labels' custom outfits to promote the Muppets' new film The Muppets.
- Jason Wu: a black feathered frock with a lace veil
- Prabal Gurung: A belted dress in white duchesse silk. "I didn't want to dress Miss Piggy in anything that would take away from her bold personality so I went with a simple, classic dress and neutral color. The Empire waist really complements her figure."
- Opening Ceremony
- Suno
- Brian Atwood: sandals to complement her hoofs
- Giles & Brother
- The UK edition, Style, published this spread for the February 5, 2012 issue, timed for the British release of The Muppets.
- In an interview on InStyle's Facebook page, Piggy disses Lady Gaga's Kermit toy dress, admits to having internationally-located shoe warehouses, and slight crushes on George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Robert Pattison, and Taylor Lautner. No one compares to Kermit, but some "come surprisingly close." Clooney was rumored to make a cameo in The Muppets at the time. [1]
- In 2001, The Jim Henson Company produced a parody brochure of the magazine, titled "InSty," donning Miss Piggy as the cover girl. The item was "for limited distribution" and "as a promotional piece only." The notes further read "We have used the likenesses of certain public figures and icons to inspire and enthuse, and for purposes of parody and satire."

This gameplay trailer shows off the amazing tall grown grass, and made us wish for a Jurassic Park game. Seriously, the scene when Prophet witnesses the CEPH running throw the grass blades screams for a Jurassic Park mod. Crysis 3 is scheduled for a February 2013 release on PC, X360 and PS3. Enjoy!"
Crysis 3 and Metro last light are probably the best looking games in 2013
Looks better than cod..
yeah look the generic nano suit that adds strategy in a fps like every other shooter.
I would say crytek actually have tried to add more to shooting games than most this gen.
I really don't see much wrong with what I just watched looks insane and fun.
That tall grass I like can't see much and aliens just pop out.
Am I the only one that gets slightly aroused by good looking grass in video games? I don't know why but something about really well done vegetation in a video game just makes it seem that much of a better looking game/experience.
Stunning technically but it seems far too linear for my liking.

Sleeping Beauty: Pale Pink Bedrooms
Pale pink might not be the first color you think of when designing an adult bedroom. We think that maybe you should because pale pink can be so dramatic, sexy and certainly romantic. Pink shouldn't just be thought of as girly or childish because it can be really sophisticated and adult.
One look at the Pale Pink Bedroom from Katie Lydon Interiors and you can see how the color can perform in a say that is modern, sleek and chic. The dark wood bed and white bedding works fantastically with the super pale pink wall color. The masculine colors completely counterbalance the femininity of the pink.
More traditionally feminine, the mix of colors, textures and styles in the Romantic Laura Ashley Bedroom are still surprising in the best way possible. Pairing gold and pink certainly isn't a new discovery but it's not done very often of late and we think this is a great reminder of why we should be pairing the two.

MONTCLAIR, N.J. - Lebanon Valley's defense generated four turnovers, including Josh Borreli's pick-six, to open the season with a 31-21 win over Montclair State in the MAC-NJAC Challenge series.
The Dutchmen (1-0) made the most of every opportunity against the Red Hawks (0-1), who had received votes in the d3football.com preseason top 25. Despite being outgained by a significant margin on offense, turnovers in key spots and efficient offensive performance made the difference.
Pete Panichi ran for 137 yards while Conrad Heisey and Evan Fink each had a rushing touchdown. Joey Miller caught a 35-yarder in the second quarter, and Sean Fakete tacked on a 24-yard field goal. Nate Kauffman and Ian Bond also added interceptions, while Jared Cicero forced a late fumble that Andrew Burkholder recovered.
"This is a big-time win for our football team. We made some noise in our region," said head coach Jim Monos. "We're going back home to open the MAC schedule, we have Misericordia in the first game on our turf - we'll be jacked."
It was LVC's bend-don't-break defense that won it in the second half, coming up with three interceptions and a late game-sealing fumble while the offense played mistake free. Borreli had the back-breaker, though, jumping Drew Cathey's pass early in the fourth quarter for a 30-yard touchdown to turn a 24-14 game into a comfortable 31-14 margin.
"They ran that play a couple times, I was waiting for it, I got the opportunity, and I went for it," said Borreli, a junior playing in his first game for LVC since transferring from Lycoming. "I just looked at the goal line and got there as fast as I could."
Heisey had the game's opening score, a 1-yard punch-in to cap a long drive, but Cathey hit Vin Fischer for 59 yards on the next drive to knot it at 7-7. Fakete's field goal put LVC ahead on their next drive, and after forcing a four-down turnover, LVC got the ball back for Leo Kyte to hit Miller 35 yards downfield for a 17-7 halftime lead.
LVC capitalized on a special teams mistake to score in the third quarter when punter Steve Hellings had the snap sail through his hands, giving the Dutchmen possession on the 3-yard line; Fink converted on first down to go up 24-7. Cathey found Kevin Grady later in the quarter to make it interesting at 24-14 before Borreli's interception halted Montclair's momentum, and Cicero's late fumble force after a Bryan Ogden completion ended any hopes the hosts had for a comeback.
"Defensively, I told these guys, they've been doing it all camp. Our secondary has been looking for picks... That was big," Monos said.
Montclair outgained LVC 423-288, doing the bulk of their work in the air with 348 yards passing. LVC controlled the ground, however, allowing just 75 yards rushing while Panichi, Fink, and Heisey combined for 170.
LVC will make its debut on the new Arnold Field turf next week, hosting Misericordia for a 1 p.m. start.
Game Notes
LVC was 3-for-4 on fourth-down conversions ... Borreli also led LVC with seven tackles ... Jerome Duncan, Kevin Smith, and John Harsch each had sacks, with Harsch's coming on the bad punt snap in the third quarter ... Although Borreli had the pick-six, it was Nate Kauffman who had the longest interception return, taking his back 45 yards ... In his first career start, Leo Kyte was 8-for-20 for 118 yards and a touchdown ... The Dutchmen had eight first-time starters overall ... It was the first time since last year's Stevenson game that LVC was turnover-free ... LVC and Montclair were meeting for the first time. It was also LVC's first game against an NJAC opponent ... Montclair will make the return trip to Annville in 2013 to finish the MAC-NJAC Challenge ... Montclair, at 18,402 students, is the largest school LVC has played since Drexel in 1967 ... LVC has won two straight and four of its last five season openers.

The following story was published in the Revolution's "Match Day" program for the October 8 game against the San Jose Earthquakes
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Beat writers and copy editors around Major League Soccer rejoiced when Ryan Guy scored a pair of goals in the New England Revolution's 3-2 loss to the Chicago Fire on Sept. 25 at Toyota Park. Not because of any particular rooting interests in the game, mind you, but because of the three letters scrawled across the back of his jersey, just above his number.
You see, Guy's last name provides considerable fuel for the type of easy-to-write, pun-filled headlines designed to grab attention in the oversaturated world of journalism, driven by its 24-hour news cycle. In fact, a perfect example can be found in the headline of this very feature. It's just too simple.
As such, it's unsurprising that throughout his life, the 26-year-old Guy has become accustomed to hearing his last name used in a variety of ways.
"Oh gosh, I've heard so many I wouldn't even want to start," he said with a laugh when asked about the different variations he's encountered. "Most of them I can't even say. But the good thing is that I've heard them so many times that now I basically just hear my name. I have to use it as power rather than anything else."
It's likely Revolution fans will be hearing much more of Guy's name after the former University of San Diego standout notched the first two goals of his MLS career in that late September meeting with the Fire. With the Revs trailing 3-0 entering the 90th minute, Guy produced a pair of goals – the first a mishit which looped just under the crossbar and the second a clinical finish at the end of a flowing move – to pull his side to within 3-2 in a matter of minutes.
Ultimately it was too little, too late for the Revolution as the final whistle blew shortly after Guy's second goal, but the impact of the right winger's compelling performance was one of the primary talking points in the aftermath of the match.
"Ryan's come in and done well," said assistant coach Stephen Myles. "He's worked hard in training all the time and he's listened to what we're trying to tell him. Like we tell everybody, we ask people to do simple things. Keep it simple and do the simple things well. That's what he's done.
"We're asking him to get balls into the box, we're asking him to take up good spots when we've not got the ball and he's done both of those things," Myles continued. "You can't ask any more. He's deserved the playing time that he's gotten."
As Myles alluded, Guy has worked tirelessly for his chance to prove himself with the first team. After signing with the Revolution in early June following a four-year stint with St. Patrick's Athletic in the League of Ireland, Guy spent a healthy portion of the 2011 season performing sporadically with the reserve side and watching from the bench during the majority of first-team matches. In 16 regular-season contests between June 10 and Sept. 16, Guy made just one start and five substitute appearances, including one as a makeshift right back.
That changed in late September, however, when injuries forced fellow outside midfielders Sainey Nyassi (R MCL sprain/R hamstring strain) and Monsef Zerka (L quad strain) to the sidelines, opening the door for Guy to make just his second start since joining the Revs.
Safe to say, Guy grabbed hold of the opportunity with his two-goal performance in Chicago. It was a just reward after months of grinding through daily training sessions, both trying to impress the coaching staff and keeping sharp for whenever his break finally arrived.
"It's definitely been a time of learning and growing as a player for me," said Guy, noting the inherent difficulties of joining a team midway through a season. "It's been a struggle but also really a time of professional competition and I think increased motivation for myself to really try to fit in and gain chemistry [with my teammates].
"It's really just about playing well," Guy added in reference to the day-to-day approach in training when fighting for a spot on the field. "Keeping the ball in training, scoring goals in training, playing well in reserve matches – it's pretty straightforward. I feel like the good thing here is that there's at least a fairness to the way you play in training [in correlation with] the minutes you get in a game. Playing well in training and reserve games has, I think, been paramount."
Aiding Guy in his quest for playing time in recent months has been his experience in Europe, where he began his career in 2007 as a wide-eyed 21-year-old straight out of college. Battling not only to prove his ability on the field, but simultaneously overcoming the cultural obstacles of living in a foreign country and fighting the stigma as "the Yank" in an Irish league, Guy was more than prepared for a relatively similar situation when he arrived in New England.
Guy was equipped for the task mentally, as well, noting that upon signing with the Revs he fully expected a period in which he'd have to work his way into the team.
"That was my expectation, absolutely," Guy said. "Coming from a league that's not as well known as a lot of the other European leagues, I knew that I wouldn't be the huge prospect that someone like Benny Feilhaber would be. So I was ready for that and I'm glad that I at least prepared myself for it because it's been exactly what I was expecting."
Preparation and a bit of veteran guile also helped Guy on game day in Chicago, where he capitalized on his fleeting opportunity when teammates went down with injuries. While many younger players would've felt the weight of the situation after patiently waiting months for a chance to start, Guy was able to keep his focus on the task at hand.
"The good thing is I have a few years under my belt and I've gone through spells where I'm playing well, not playing well, in and out of the team," he said. "So I feel like I've gotten to the point where pressure is there and it's noticeable, but it's not something that really gets to me."
"You want those guys who are squad players, if they get an opportunity, you want them to come in and do the business," said Myles. "You don't want to see a drop in quality. Obviously, he's come in and done himself well."
Prepared as he was, even Guy admits it took more than experience and sheer will to break his way into the team.
"There is definitely some kind of fourth element out there," he said. "You have to have a little bit of luck, whether it's the unfortunate loss of a player because of injury or just the ball bouncing your way. There are a lot of things that have to come together to do it."
But luck aside, Guy's breakthrough into the first team was driven primarily by an unrelenting work ethic which manifests itself in the diligent midfielder's tireless efforts up and down the flank. Beyond his pair of late goals at Toyota Park, Guy was impressive from start to finish, earning the praise of both the coaching staff and Feilhaber.
"He was rewarded for being in the right place at the right time and finishing his two chances," Feilhaber said of Guy, his roommate during road trips. "That's great to see and hopefully we get to see more of him. I think he's a guy who's always going to give 100 percent, that's for sure. I think everyone can see that."
Guy credits his hard-working, team-first attitude to his upbringing in southern California, where both he and Feilhaber grew up playing club soccer.
"Just the way that we grew up in our clubs, we were with those guys for long periods of time and also through college, it was engrained in us that the team comes first," said Guy. "The hard work? That's just engrained in me from my family."
That type of workmanlike attitude will be critical for Guy moving forward as he continues to put in the hours at training and aims to turn his eye-catching performance in Chicago into a regular place in the team.
"The next step is trying to solidify that (starting) position," said Guy, who also noted he's well aware he and many of his teammates are playing for contracts for next season. "This is only the first step. It's only the first goals and I'd like to be (scoring and) assisting more goals. Having a strong position on the squad is definitely my next step."

New SOA-EERP Standards to Establish Service Quality, Rating and SLA
- Share

Read later
Reading List
OASIS SOA-EERP Technical Committee has just announced a 60 day Public Review of the three draft specifications:
- SOA-EERP Business Quality of Service Version 1.0.
- SOA-EERP Business Service Level Agreement Version 1.0.
- SOA-EERP Business Rating of Service Version 1.0
As defined in OASIS SOA-EERP whitepaper, End-to-End Resource Planning (EERP) Model and Use Case this set of specifications applies to
... service discovery, composition, simulation, and optimization techniques in a novel way to improve business results. As the software industry has applied SOA to eBusiness deployments, self-optimizing systems... have become more feasible and more useful... Modeling the business characteristics of a service is a prerequisite for estimating the business value of the process that uses those services; likewise, the reliability of the service provided needs to be understood. Finally, establishing agreements about the business service is essential to long-term value chain improvement.
The overall vision of the SOA-EERP technical committee is the creation of service "exchanges" to which service consumers can go to get an optimal set of services required for their need. Many service providers participating in the exchange may provide a similar service but with different business quality of service (bQoS) and Ratings. Ratings are provided by participating Rating Providers, for example, a third party rating organization, and can be issued either a number or a classification description. Finally, an EERP Portal accepts requests from a service requester, performs bQoS and rating queries, calculates optimal solution(s), and then returns the result to the respective service requester.
A set of XML vocabulary specifications, part of current review, address the exchange of information that models the business characteristics of a service, permitting assertions or queries related to the credibility of the service and its providers, and the establishment of agreements about the business service. Additional specifications can be applied to other areas. For example, bQoS may be applicable to the definition of characteristics of energy, goods bought and sold, and services such as medical, shipping, and more. The reputation (Rating) of a trading or business partner is useful in many contexts.
A bQoS specification is an XML vocabulary defined as an XML schema, allowing to specify selected business characteristics of a service. The main components of bQoS are:
- Price or cost for the service
- Performance, throughput and latency of the service execution
- Quality of service ...
Business rating specification is an XML vocabulary defined as an XML schema and allowing to specify business creditability, reliability and reputation of the service providers. The main components of a business rating are:
- A list of third party service Ratings. Each Rating contains either an aggregated numeric rating or an aggregated classification description representing the rating of the given business service.
- Credentials that the service provider owns or holds. Such credentials may be issued by organizations regulating the service and can include licenses, permissions, certifications, associations, or affiliations...
A business service level agreement specification (SLA) is an XML vocabulary defined as an XML schema and allowing to define a business service level agreement between the service requestor and service provider. Business SLA is a formal contract between a service consumer and its provider, guaranteeing quantifiable business quality of service (bQoS) at defined levels. The main components of a business rating are:
- Parties involved in the SLA for the service
- Parameters of service, which can be monitored for calculating the QoS metrics
- SLA Obligations of the service
- SLA Terms of the service
This set of OASIS specification signifies an important step in formalizing business value of services and can be used for a better evaluation of business impact of SOA implementations.

Service Exchanges

This just seems like another attempt to use technology to solve problems that can't possibly solve. Maybe I'm missing something.
Re: Service Exchanges
Paulo Suzart
This spec seems to go even further drawing an enviroment really far. I'm with you James, maybe OASIS team should provide use cases to apply this bunch of new XML vocabularies.
I don't dismiss any material produced by these guys, they really owns a vision beyond we ofteen see. Lets wait to see how it is going to be realized.
SOA-EERP Standards to Establish Service Quality
Michael Poulin
Nonetheless, "the creation of service "exchanges" to which service consumers can go to get an optimal set of services required for their need" is an 'interesting' concept. I guess that <<service "exchanges">> are messages used in the interactions between service Consumer and Service but interactions happen after the service is chosen. If we target getting "an optimal set of services required for their need", term 'service exchange' at the edge of contradicting OASIS SOA RM standard - Consumer and Provider in SOA do not exchange Service; Service may be engaged or utilised. Again, if a Consumer needs a Service portfolio for its needs, it is only a portfolio of Service Contracts that contain more than SLA (quality, performance) and cost. The Service Contract, according OASIS SOA RM and RAF-draft, contains a set of Policies about: sub-set of to-be used Service interface, the interface behaviour models, service Business and Technical Execution Context where the Provider guarantees service' qualities and SLA for given Service Coontract, description of service's Business functionality and RWE, etc.
I think that QoS is really important as well as a Provider/Service reputation. Within a company, this, however, may be an overhead because we will be happy if a company has just a few redundant services for guaranteed business continuity; this is not a large service market in the company. Moreover, the statement like "The reputation (Rating) of a trading or business partner is useful in many contexts" requires strong justification. For example, if a Provider follows British law of Freedom of Information, such reputation may scare a US consumer and vise versa - a reputation of compliance with American SOX regulation may push Brittan Consumer away from the Service.
I still think that SOA is a sensitive Business matter that cannot be formalised by modern technical tools like XML Schema only; it needs much more mature level of shared semantics (which, BTW, hits the wall of human languages and cultures).
Interesting approach
Paul Peters
It is also much more flexible approach than it seems on first hand. Of course i've been keeping an eye out and sometimes pondering on a service bazaar (nice term). Using these SLA lists it is possible to e.g. create a Circle of Trust model for trading parties referring to standards they accept, such as colourcoding for flower trade, DUNS for company identifiers, European Article Numbers (EAN) and Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), even lists of Units of measure. Using the contract approach, it doesn't have to be so formal, and top brands like Gucci and Armani can even create their own SLA with which online stores can guarantee they are trading the real thing. This way adhoc communities or cooperatives can be constructed on the market place without too much trouble. Even if the corrections are manual, they bubble up to the outer border and are much easier to deal with.
On it's most elementary level i was thinking for many-to-many service marketplaces two ingredients were needed, identity federation and flexible certificates of any sorts to create add hoc contracts from which message format upto ISO certification. Using this bQoS with SLAs is however just that little bit more flexible.
Very nice, this even allows for some friend-of-a-friend approaches, or enforcing corporate social responsibility by being able to reference labels such as FairTrade.
Knowledge representation
Anders W. Tell
Maybe the biggest benefit is not a service bazaar but a mechanism for knowledge representation of SLA details, to be used fro future references and knowledge reuse. With such use cases we can streamline management of large number of SLA from different vendors etc.

The Phillies have released outfielder Geoff Jenkins and are hoping to sign Gary Sheffield, who was released by the Detroit Tigers today. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said the Phillies have contacted Sheffield's agent and are in a wait-and-see mode.
Jenkins appeared in 115 games and hit .246 with nine home runs and 29 runs batted in. The lefthanded-hitting Jenkins signed a 2-year, $13 million deal as a free agent before last season and seemed likely to platoon with Jayson Werth in rightfield. Jenkins landed on the disabled list in August with a quad injury and was largely an afterthought for the end of the season and the playoffs. He will, however, be remembered for the double in the resumption of Game 5 of the World Series that led to the go-ahead run.
Jenkins seemed to get caught in the glut of lefthanded hitters coming off the Phillies bench.
"I knew there were a lot of left handed hitters so it seemed like somebody was going to be the odd man out at some point," Jenkins said. "So it's real tough. I care a lot about those guys in the clubhouse. We'll just deal with this. It's like anything else, and try to find a new spot. It's obviously something I've never had to deal with before. But I guess what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But I don't regret anything from one moment that I was here."
The Phillies owe him the remainder of his $6.75 million salary for this season, plus a $1.25 million buyout for next season. Any team can pick him up, but they will likely owe him the veterans minimum of $400,000, which will be deducted from the Phillies' obligation.
Speaking with reporters moments ago, Jenkins said he was planning to take a couple of days to clear his head after flying back to his home in Arizona.
Jenkins said he had no hard feelings toward the Phillies.
"Absolutley not," he said. "What's there to be mad about? I picked a great year to be here. Obviously I wish things had worked out better and I coudl be with them. But I don't regret one minute. I wouldn't change a thing. Being with these guys, going what we went through last year, was tremendous."
The Phillies now have 29 players in the running for the 25-man roster. That 29 includes suspended reliever J.C. Romero, who will miss the first 50 games. The move to release Jenkins, for the moment, gives second baseman Miguel Cairo a spot on the squad, although the Phillies could still add a right-handed bat. Outfielders Wily Mo Pena and Gary Sheffield were both recently released by the Nationals and Tigers, respectively.

IACAP 2011 presentation on cognition as management of meanings:
Cognition is proposed as a management of meanings for agents that have constraints to satisfy (stay alive, look for happiness, avoid obstacles, …).
(IACAP 2011 presentation http://cogprints.org/7584/)
The systemic approach to meaning generation for agents is used in an evolutionary perspective to cognition where robots are agents with derived constraints, meanings and intentionality.

People of faith not ignorant or 'anti-'
Like many people on Facebook, I have an eclectic circle of friends. Many of my friends are pastors, like me, or at least churchgoing people.
I also have friends of other faiths and many friends -- both in real life and on Facebook -- who would describe themselves as "spiritual but not religious." I also have some friends who are atheists.
Thanks to Facebook, I now have "friends" I have never met. A few years ago, for a brief time, I played a game that required me to add friends if I wanted to advance.
I quickly grew tired of such requirements, but I did add three people to my list of Facebook friends who I have never met.
One of them is a devout atheist. She is as committed to her cause as many religious people I know are committed to their cause, frequently posting quotes and ideas meant to further her point of view and call into question a belief in God or Jesus.
Two of her recent posts caught my attention, causing me to pause and reflect on their words. The first was a quote: "Scientists read many books and still feel they have a lot to learn; a religious man barely reads one and thinks he knows everything."
Frankly, I have trouble not resenting this statement. For starters, I do not limit my reading to one book, even if I do consider it sacred.
Second, I believe in science and value the vast world of knowledge and societal advancements that science has brought us.
Third, I do not think I know everything simply because I am a Christian. And finally, I don't know many Christians who fit this description either.
I get frustrated with the rhetorical strategy of creating a straw man to represent your opponent and then attempting to prove you are right by blowing him down.
Republicans do it to Democrats. Democrats do it to Republicans. People of one faith do it to people of another.
Over and over we attempt this strategy, and I wonder if it's because creating straw men is easier than actually debating ideas, or if perhaps we simply take such a limited view of our opponents that we don't realize our over-simplification.
The second offering from my Facebook friend was a chart comparing the story of Jesus with the story of the ancient god Horus.
According to the chart, both Jesus and Horus were born of virgins, were visited after their birth by wise men, were baptized, had 12 disciples, and ultimately were crucified, buried and rose again.
The chart was intended to show that Jesus was a myth because his story was clearly a copy of some other myth.
I did some quick research on Horus and discovered that many of these claims are untrue and inconsistent with the story of Horus. Therefore the chart doesn't prove that the story of Jesus isn't true.
Of course, the opposite is also the case: the lack of comparison between Jesus and some ancient Egyptian god does not prove that Jesus was real, or that the story of Jesus is worth dedicating one's life to following.
Faith cannot be proven, and even if something isn't factual, that doesn't mean it isn't true.
People of faith are not ignorant, nor are we anti-science or anti-knowledge or anti-questioning or anti-fun. Yes, some Christians believe in an interpretation of the Bible that leaves little room for anything else. But most of us do not hold such beliefs.
Most of us are thinking people who believe what we believe because it brings meaning to our lives and direction to our days. We believe in the story of Jesus because it resonates within us as truth -- or something as close to truth as we have found.
Christians cannot all be painted with the same brush. I believe we Christians need to remember that this is true of other faiths as well.

Newcastle will be looking for redemption when they welcome high-flying Chelsea to St. James' Park, barely three days after hosting Premier League favourites Manchester City in a match where they pushed the former league champions to the wire before eventually going down 2-0 in extra time.
Newcastle definitely gave a good account of themselves in that aforementioned Capital One Cup clash and manager Alan Pardew will be hoping that they have finally began to turn the tide after a run of just one win and three losses in their last five league games.
The Magpies currently find themselves 11th in the league standings, partly due to their woeful home form which has seen them pick up just one win in four league matches this season. The goals have also dried up somewhat in recent weeks, with Newcastle only scoring five goals in four home games.
In sharp contrast, Saturday's opposition arrive on the back of six straight wins in all competitions, with away wins over Schalke and Arsenal and a home win over Manchester City achieved in recent weeks.
One would therefore argue that this may be the wrong time for Newcastle to take on the blue juggernaut that is Chelsea, but a few facts make this game not as straightforward as one would think.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is still looking for his first league win at Newcastle, having drawn twice and lost once during his first spell as manager. Chelsea's away form has also been erratic to say the least, with just one away win in the league this season.
They also are not as free-scoring on their travels as they are at the Bridge as they have managed just four goals in four away matches. The head-to-head record is a dead-heat between these two sides, with both winning two games and drawing twice in their last six meetings. All indications therefore point to a tight match.
Mourinho will be the happier of the two managers as his side have come through a gruelling run of fixtures with only the long-term injury of Marco van Ginkel to report.
Pardew, however, has a defensive injury crisis to sort out as he faces the prospect of being without up to six defenders for the crunch tie. Paul Dummett limped off with a hamstring strain against City on Wednesday and he joins Massadio Haidara (hamstring), Ryan Taylor (knee), Fabricio Coloccini (groin), Steven Taylor (hamstring) and Jonas Gutierrez on the treatment table.
Neither manager is likely to start with players who were involved in midweek action, so the likes of Yoan Gouffran, Vernon Anita and Shola Ameobi may be rested for this one. Mourinho made no less than ten changes to his lineup against Arsenal in midweek, so he is likely to revert to the same 11 that played against Manchester City last Sunday.
Predicted Starting XI:
Newcastle: T. Krul- M. Debuchy, M. Williamson, M. Yanga-Mbiwa, D. Santon- c. Tiote, Y. Cabaye- L. Remy, M. Sissoko, H. Ben Arfa- P. Cisse.
Chelsea: P. Cech- B. Ivanovic, J. Terry, G. Cahill, A. Cole- Ramires, F. Lampard- A. Schurrle, Oscar, E. Hazard- F. Torres.
Fernando Torres in particular has looked like a striker reborn in recent weeks and, with three goals in his last two games, will be looking to claim another scalp and lift his side to the top of the league - temporarily at least.

February 15, 2011
WASHINGTON, DC – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar has appointed 15 individuals to serve as members of the National Geospatial Advisory Committee (NGAC), which provides recommendations on federal geospatial policy and management issues and advice on development of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). The NSDI promotes sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.
The new appointees to three-year terms on the NGAC are:
- * Mr. Dick Clark, State of Montana
- * Mr. Jack Dangermond, ESRI
- Ms. Joanne Irene Gabrynowicz, University of Mississippi
- * Dr. Jerry Johnston, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
- Ms. Laurie Kurilla, Ventura County, CA
- Dr. E. Donald McKay, State of Illinois
- * Ms. Anne Hale Miglarese, Booz Allen Hamilton
- Dr. Timothy Nyerges, University of Washington
- * Mr. Matt O'Connell, GeoEye
- Mr. Pat Olson, Aero-Metric, Inc.
- Mr. Mark Reichardt, Open Geospatial Consortium
- Mr. Anthony Spicci, State of Missouri
- Mr. Gary Thompson, State of North Carolina
- Mr. Gene Trobia, State of Arizona
- Mr. David Wyatt, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
* Re-appointed to a second term on the NGAC.
The NGAC provides a forum to convey views representative of partners in the geospatial community. The members of the NGAC report to the chair of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), which is the Federal interagency executive group responsible for providing leadership and direction in Federal geospatial programs. The FGDC is chaired by the Secretary
of the Interior or the Secretary's designee.
The NGAC meets three to four times per year. The public is invited
to comment and make suggestions at all committee meetings, which will
be announced by publication in the Federal Register at least 15 days
before the meeting date. The U.S. Geological Survey, a bureau of the
Department of the Interior, provides support services for the NGAC. The
NGAC functions
solely as an advisory body.
Geospatial data and products, including maps, simulations, and
databases, are invaluable tools in the effective management of utility
infrastructures, transportation, energy, emergency management and
response, natural resource management, climate analysis, disaster
recovery, homeland defense, law enforcement, protection planning and
other civilian or military strategic
issues. The newly-appointed members of the NGAC represent the varied interests associated with geospatial programs and technology.
The NGAC was created under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which
was enacted by Congress in 1972 to ensure that advice rendered to the
executive branch by advisory committees, task forces, boards, and
commissions formed by Congress and the President, be both objective and
accessible to the public. The Act formalized a process for
establishing, operating,
overseeing, and terminating these advisory bodies.
Additional information about the NGAC, including a complete list of the 28 committee members, is available at www.fgdc.gov/ngac.

ok, a little hyperbole for the title, but it's not far off. here we have a state governor scribbling notes about a piece of legislation that makes him sound like a middle schooler. i'm disappointed it didn't have them sitting in a tree. the larger point here is that this really should be lead national news. in red states all over the country, we've had a dramatic uptick in abortion laws enacted. some that have been signed into state law are quite clearly unconstitutional.
but there's always been a secular argument for such legislation. it's a weak one, and it's easy to see the religious element at play here. but they have plausible deniability. until now. unless Gov. Brownback truly was just daydreaming about virgin mom and son (i feel stupider just typing that last phrase) he clearly states his rationale.
here the veil is lifted. they are crazy for Jesus, and Jesus clearly hated abortion. forget that he never says it, in their hearts they know he would have hated women from having family planning options, or the choice to have a healthy child as opposed to a one who will break them, or to prevent unwanted teenage mothers, etc.
i'm sure i've missed some of the reasons to be outraged, so have at it. this shit really pisses me off!

Let Republicans keep this shit up. They're just making themselves unelectable, considering that the majority of voters are women.
i hope you're right, but a lot of women in those states (mostly married and elderly) are sheeple. they don't care that their rights are being taken away.
That's something to talk with Joan Denoo about, Matthew, as you may already know. She was TAUGHT, probably from the time she came out the chute, to deny herself in favor of others. That lesson was burned into her until it was supposedly indelible. Sorry, didn't work, 'cuz here she is, angry, vocal, and damned well spoken.
Whether others can join her is mostly a function of their willingness to listen and to think for themselves, something which, of course, they have been taught NOT to do ... and yet some do. Some of them will get the message, however slowly or haltingly, and rescind any further permissions to their oppressors.
Thing is, this ain't no sprint. I'm not even sure it's a marathon. More like an Iron Man, except that it goes on and on, with progress slow and sometimes hard to discern ... but the progress is there.
'Cuz Joan is here.
i'd love her to comment on this thread. let her know if you would.
as for iron mans, check this out - too funny!
Loren, I feel honored and humbled to be thought of as you expressed: "angry, vocal, and damned well spoken."
Now, my task is to turn that anger into positive energy. Kind of like an exploding star produces the elements; maybe my anger can bring forth the elements of health and wholeness. This challenge we all face is a systemic problem, not an individual failing.
You are right, Jesus and his big Daddy were not anti-abortion. Especially big Daddy, he liked killing all ages, including fetuses in utero.
He still does it all the time. miscarriages. what a dick!
haha, good to see ya Mel.
What is the moral and ethical things to do?
In China, I visited a long barracks type hospital building with many beds lined up along both walls. Benches with old and young and even children family members sat, providing meals, bedding and gown changes for men and women patients. The Chinese government arranged for me to visit rural and urban health care facilities so that I could observe health care delivery for women in China.
I stood at the bedside of a woman in final stages of labor; I saw the crowning event and then the final push occurred. Mother was all hot and sweaty, hair over her face as she struggled to bring forth this new child. The delivery completed, she looked and saw it was a baby girl; she wept, bitter, agonizing tears. She rejected the baby and a relative wrapped this newborn baby girl in a blanket and took her away. I don't know how the story ends. Did she keep the baby? Or give her away? Or sell her? Or did they kill her?
What do I want for baby girls and birthing mothers? Female is as precious as male; female is part of the ying/yang of life. There can be no reproduction without bringing forth a female. She is necessary for keeping a species alive.
Alive isn't enough! Surviving doesn't count. Each child, male or female, born into a culture, is entitled to the basic elements of life and health, and love and care.
Each woman is entitled to make decisions about her own life, without interference from family or community or religion. If she does not want a child, she has the right and responsibility to prevent conception. If conception occurs, she has a right to decide if she carries the baby to term or not. If she decides to abort, she is entitled to safe, sterile, expert medical care in support of her decision. If she decides to keep the baby, there is a community obligation to participate with her in raising her children.
Oh, I know, there are those who would deny her the right to say "No" to having sex; or those who would prevent her from using contraceptives; even those who would deny her an opportunity to raise her child with assistance, if she needs it.
So, what is a prudent woman to do? Refuse to participate in sexual pleasures? Decide to have sex only if she can legally and safely use contraception or have access to safe and legal abortion? Should she give her baby up for adoption? Can she struggle to keep and raise her baby?
What is the ethical and moral thing to do? If our goal is to raise mentally healthy, mature, self-reliant, and productive adult men and women, we have the responsibility as a community to empower each one to flourish and develop into the potential that each has. Stand with boys and girls as they develop native interests into community assets. Encourage them as they build a community of caring and compassionate friends. Recognize that individuals differ in many ways, in personality, abilities, with strengths and weaknesses, and with different gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation.
It is not our job to mold another into a person we want him or her to be. It is our job to empower the other to flourish and become that which he or she is.
Joan, I'm going to write words that seem to deny the equality you value. You might find the words unbelievable.
You wrote above, "Female is as precious as male...."
The Chinese practice you describe above IS NOT SAYING "Female is less precious than male"; it's saying the opposite, "Female is more precious than male."
To see this, replace the word "precious" with "more important to the goal".
Your words become "Female is more important to the goal than male."
You wrote the birth mother "...saw it was a baby girl" and "...rejected the baby...."
Given the Chinese goal on population, what was she saying?
Tom, your comments always cause me to stop and think. This response of yours took some time to come to a conclusion I can stand on.
From the point of view of the new mother, when she saw a female born and revealed grief and rejection of the newborn, she spoke for herself and women in her culture. If a child is to be rejected, it is a female child. If joy comes with a birth of a male, she reveals the values of her family and community. If her life has been one of toil and submission, she certainly has the right to feel hopeless and helpless because of her birthright being born female.
I don't know exactly what she felt; I know she looked bereaved. Maybe there is more to her story than I understand, however, I certainly do not see her feeling "female is more important to the goal than male".
Yes, China is trying to cut its birthrate and every woman I talked to agreed with that goal. The overpopulation is overwhelmingly a fact. Whether in urban or rural settings, the population outstrips its food supply. There were not enough jobs to support an individual, let alone a family.
Population control may be a goal, but human sexuality being what it is, we breed like rats and rabbits. Conceptions occur, even if using contraception methods. To give birth to a female child, to make the decision to abandon female children, to know one has no control over outcomes is the best way I know of to instigate depression and anxiety.
If the goal of society is a flourishing, physically and mentally healthy, and happy adult population, then it must start with family planning.
I, without reservation, can refute your statement, "Female is more important to the goal than male."
Joan, if you can without reservation refute my statement, "Female is more important to the goal than male" it's because:
1. I intentionally did not complete it, or
2 You have not thought through a manufacturing process.
Making babies is not a typical manufacturing process but it is certainly a production process.
I want to check the next page in this discussion before I add to that.

Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs
Remarks by Secretary Eric K. Shinseki
Veterans Day
Arlington National Cemetery
November 11, 2013
Mr. President, welcome. Thank you, the First Lady, and the Vice President and Dr. Biden for your leadership and your unwavering support of our Nation's Veterans, their families, and our survivors for many years now. Veterans Day is about celebrating and honoring our Veterans, who have given so much for the rest of us. When people ask me about values, I often point them to VA's budget and they get it—that for you, Veterans Day is not just a one-day-a-year event. It's an abiding commitment, every day of every year. That's what's reflected in your annual budget requests for VA—a commitment for every day of every year.
- Medal of Honor recipient Harold Fritz: We are honored by your service and heroism in battle. Thank you and others of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society for serving as our co-hosts this year;
- Welcome, as well, to other Veterans Service Organizations, and especially to all our Veterans, their families, and our survivors who are gathered here; it's wonderful to see all of you again;
- Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi; Congresswoman Hanabusa; other distinguished members of the Congress;
- Secretary Chuck Hagel, Vice Chairman Winnefeld, other members of the Defense leadership;
- Other distinguished members of the Cabinet, VA colleagues, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
237 years ago, the leaders of this great Nation penned the magnificent words that would, in time, become both vision and conscience for a fledgling democracy: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
Through the centuries since, these oft-quoted words became the bedrock of our democracy. Young men and women have answered calls to arms to preserve and defend them. Each generation has done its part to pass a strong and free America to the next generation.
Last month, President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to former Army Captain Will Swenson for heroism and gallantry above and beyond the call of duty in the battle of Ganjgal Valley on September 8, 2009.
During 6 hours of intense combat, Captain Swenson did everything expected of leaders, and more—keeping his ambushed unit fighting effectively, directing all available fires, evacuating the wounded, and leading by example in repeatedly risking his personal safety to retrieve wounded Soldiers and Marines, Afghan allies, and fallen comrades—determination, decisiveness, personal toughness, calm under fire, and a willingness to risk it all for others.
Will Swenson would tell you that there were many more heroes in the Ganjgal that day.
The President understands what the recipients of the Medal of Honor mean to America, and above all he values what the service and sacrifice of all Veterans have meant to our Nation. That is why he has provided such strong personal leadership and unwavering support for this department. With the help of Congress, VA's budgets have steadily increased. His past five budget requests have sought to increase VA's resourcing by more than 55 percent.
As a result, we have enrolled two million more Veterans for VA healthcare; dropped the disability claims backlog by over 211,000 claims in the last 230 days; reduced Veterans' homelessness; and enrolled our one millionth Veteran into the new post 9-11 G.I. Bill education program.
Veterans could not ask for a stronger advocate than our President.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my great personal and professional honor to present to you, our Commander-in-Chief—the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

Infiniti Emotional Attachment Highest Among Auto Brands
- Infiniti tops the list of auto brand attachment.
- Cadillac ranks second highest among car brands.
- Other top brands include BMW, Audi and Mercedes.
A new study from strategic marketing firm New Media Metrics says that consumers are more emotionally attached to Infiniti than any other car brand. According to the firm's LEAP Index, which measures how much consumers love brands, Infiniti placed third overall, falling behind the Apple's hot-selling products.
The annual LEAP Index, which stands for Leveraging Emotional Attachment for Profit, placed Cadillac sixth overall, or second among automotive brands after Infiniti. Both automakers recorded major increases over last year's index, when Infiniti finished in 18th place and Cadillac failed to crack the top 25. This year, the brands share the top 10 with Disney Parks at number four, the iPad at number five, Google Search and Google at seven and eight, Apple at number nine and Microsoft Office at number ten.
Of course, Cadillac and Infiniti aren't the only automotive brands that speak to consumer emotions. Other automotive nameplates placing high on the list include BMW at number 13, Audi at 14, Mercedes at 15 and Land Rover at 16th place. Each of those brands saw a slight increase compared to last year's list, except Land Rover, which wasn't tracked in LEAP's 2011 index.
While Infiniti owners are certainly passionate about their cars, the car brand's rank on the list (higher than brands such as BMW and Audi) might come as a surprise to most car shoppers. But the brand's energetic new designs and ample in-car technology likely foster the emotional connection with consumers who often pick Infiniti's models due to such exclusive factors. The same is true of Cadillac, which uses bold styling and exciting interior design to attract shoppers. The automaker also touts advanced technology, including its latest CUE infotainment system, to help buyers form an attachment.
According to New Media Metrics, the LEAP Index uses a proprietary methodology designed to measure emotional attachment to more than 350 brands in 45 categories. While the iPhone took first place in this year's index, the iPod took the top spot in the LEAP Index last year and in 2010, when the study was created.
What it means to you: Luxury auto brands seem to form a high level of customer attachment, and Infiniti tops the list.

This miniseries from cable's History Channel travels back to the second half of the 19th century for an epic-length, dramatic evocation of one of history's most famous and vitriolic feuds. A conflict that first erupted in 1863 and spanned a whopping 28 years, the Hatfield-McCoy War began simply, with two Confederate soldiers, Randall McCoy (here played by Bill Paxton) and 'Devil' Anse Hatfield (here played by Kevin Costner) returning home after many months of battle in the U.S. Civil War. Initially, the future appears bright to both men, but a misunderstanding soon erupts that leads straight to a tragic murder, and an illicit love affair further complicates the situation. In time, minor clashes and disagreements blow up into a local civil war, as neighbors and friends take sides. Kevin Reynolds (WATERWORLD, FANDANGO) directs.
