On any given day, Congress debates cutting entitlement programs versus strengthening them. Programs such as food stamps and supplemental nutrition for women, infants and children are part of the debate. Free lunch programs feed as many as 60% of children in some impoverished counties.
Thousands of Americans rely on Supplemental Security Insurance to provide assistance based on financial need. This pays monthly amounts of $710 for an individual or $1,066 for a qualifying couple. Many Americans are surviving on unemployment insurance benefits of approximately $330 a week. These are not long-term survival plans. Many more struggle to hang on until age 62 to receive the minimum social security benefit.
Over 120 million people rely on some type of government assistance. Another 50 million have relied on government assistance in the last 10 years or will in the next five years. What has happened to us? Do Americans love living on food stamps, WIC benefits and receiving minimal SSI checks in the mail or other forms of government help? The answer is no. Many of the poor are actually working jobs but can't make enough money.
We did this to ourselves in America. In some cases we pushed our jobs out and in other cases we simply let them slip through our hands. Mexico, China and India are delighted to have our jobs and our money. Americans left behind try to figure out how to buy groceries, pay rent and afford tanks of gas. Government money will run out. It's a matter of time before Congress will cut back on food stamps and WIC, along with cutting Medicare and Social Security payments. We should oppose these cuts until the jobs trend is reversed. However, the load has become backbreaking for a government that has been financially broke for a long time.
We can solve these problems:
- To bring jobs back to the U.S., Congress must ease the tax burden on American corporations. We should cut the tax rate from 35% to 15% for corporations that bring 70% of their jobs back home. Corporations that keep jobs overseas should continue to pay the higher rate. Some of the mega corporations have utilized loopholes to pay much smaller amounts of tax while most corporations pay the high tax. We must make the tax simpler and make it reasonable for all corporations.
- Unions must use common sense. The day and time when unions could hold employers hostage by making exorbitant demands have passed. Employers can simply close the doors and move their operations to Mexico leaving workers and unions behind.
- Give a $10,000 tax credit to people who cease relying on Supplemental Security Insurance and Social Security disability and get back into the workforce. Although many are genuinely unable to do any type of work, many more can do some type of work. Give this credit over three years.
- Allow students to attend the first two years of community college tuition-free if they maintain a GPA of 3.0. Student loans would be cut in half. Many 65 - 80 year old retired professors would enjoy working for adjunct, contract pay and would bring a wealth of knowledge with them.
- Raise the minimum wage to $9. Cut the corporate tax on one end so that corporations can provide more pay on the other end.
Approximately 50 million Americans live in poverty while another 50 million are not far from the poverty line. Many Americans living in poverty are working, but the jobs don't pay enough and they are forced to rely on government assistance.
It does not have to be this way. We don't have to be poor and in debt, America can bounce back. To change the face of America, we must make progressive and aggressive changes. At this stage of our economy we need to change the face of Congress. They've had their chance. Most of them have been in Washington too long and have made it all about them and not about Americans.

A Turtle-Shaped Nebula, NGC 6210, and the Structure Around Its Star (inset)
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has shown us that the shrouds of gas surrounding dying, sunlike stars (called planetary nebulae) come in a variety of strange shapes, from an "hourglass" to a "butterfly" to a "stingray." With this image of NGC 6210, the Hubble telescope has added another bizarre form to the rogues' gallery of planetary nebulae: a turtle swallowing a seashell. Giving this dying star such a weird name is less of a challenge than trying to figure out how dying stars create these unusual shapes.
The larger image shows the entire nebula; the inset picture captures the complicated structure surrounding the dying star. The remarkable features of this nebula are the numerous holes in the inner shells with jets of material streaming from them. These jets produce column-shaped features that are mirrored in the opposite direction. The multiple shells of material ejected by the dying star give this planetary nebula its odd form. In the "full nebula" image, the brighter central region looks like a "nautilus shell"; the fainter outer structure (colored red) a "tortoise." The dying star is the white dot in the center. Both pictures are composite images based on observations taken Aug. 6, 1997 with the telescope's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.
Material flung off by this central star is streaming out of holes it punched in the nautilus shell. At least four jets of material can be seen in the "full nebula" image: a pair near 6 and 12 o'clock and another near 2 and 8 o'clock. In each pair, the jets are directly opposite each other, exemplifying their "bipolar" nature. The jets are thought to be driven by a "fast wind" - material propelled by radiation from the hot central star. In the inner "nautilus" shell, bright rims outline the escape holes created by this "wind," such as the one at 2 o'clock. This same "wind" appears to give rise to the prominent outer jet in the same direction. The hole in the inner shell acts like a hose nozzle, directing the flow of material.
Although the central star is visible in both pictures, it is more prominent on the inset image. Another clear feature on the inset image is a very interesting red, arrowhead-shaped protrusion emanating from a hole (seen nearly edge-on) at 4 o'clock. On the main image, the "arrowhead" is colored a subtle magenta. The "arrowhead" appears to be driving an outward swelling of material at the 4 o'clock border. This too appears to have a counterpart in the opposite direction. Some evidence is visible at the 10 o'clock position (inset). These features suggest a more recent shaping of the nebula by the fast stellar wind, because the material does not appear to be as far away from the central star as the outlying jets.
The column at 6 o'clock in the main image, which appears to be a series of vertebrae-shaped structures, suggests that the jets occur episodically. The broadest, most prominent of these are near the bottom and are curved upward, facing the central star. This column seems well aligned with the opening in the bottom of the nautilus shell seen in both the main and inset images.
The main picture is a composite of images taken with three filters which are used to make a representative picture of the true colors of the object. Red represents hydrogen, which constitutes most of the nebula; blue, oxygen that is singly ionized; and green, oxygen at even higher ionization (doubly ionized). The ionization, in this case, is caused by ultraviolet light from the dying star stripping electrons from atoms.
The inset picture is a composite of the inner nautilus shell generated by combining the Hubble telescope images in a different way. This picture enhances some of the inner structure that is not as clear in the main photo due to color blending. The inset is a two-color composite with red and green now depicting the radiation from singly ionized and doubly ionized oxygen, respectively. (This combination is useful for separating the less highly ionized gas from more highly ionized gas.)
NGC 6210 is about 6,600 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. The nebula measures 1.6 light-years from the very top of the turtle-shaped form to the tip of the bottom. The inner nautilus shell is about 0.5 light-years in diameter.

That quote is going to be used again and again when Hank blows his stack and/or wags his tongue after every Sox/Yankees game.
There's no way he's going to be able to stay quiet, especially after a really close game.

Hankee won't say anything more about the Red Sox for the rest of this season?
That's the funniest thing I've heard so far this year. I can't wait for the first time the MFY get hammered by the Sox and Hankee goes all vesuvius in the NY papers...

The St. Mary's High girls basketball team found a way to avoid overtime against Salesian in Tuesday's showdown between the two rivals at Contra Costa College.
The Panthers took an 11-point lead at halftime and went on to a 59-53 victory in Tri-County Athletic League-Rock Division action.
The Panthers win avenged a 62-59 overtime loss to the Pride on Jan. 18. Both teams entered the game ranked in the top five in the Bay Area News Group East Bay girls basketball poll, with Salesian fourth and St. Mary's fifth.
"We definitely had the mindset that every quarter was a new quarter, 0-0," said St. Mary's Gabby Green, who scored a team-high 21 points. "Everybody kept their energy up."
Salesian (21-5, 9-1 TCAL-Rock) narrowed the deficit to three points multiple times. The last time was with 36 seconds to go on an inside basket by Mariya Moore, who scored a game-high 32 points.
But those were the Pride's last points. Green was fouled on the next possession and made one of two free throws for a 57-53 lead. Teammate Mikayla Cowling, who was 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter and scored 16 points overall, connected on two free throws with 17.2 seconds left for the game's final points.
St. Mary's (21-4, 9-1) held a 39-26 lead one minute into the third quarter but Salesian battled back, led by Moore's 18 second-half points.
Heritage 51, Deer Valley 46: The host Patriots raced out to a 7-0 lead, forced 13 first-quarter turnovers and never trailed in a victory over the Wolverines that put Heritage up two games in the Bay Valley Athletic League with three games to play.
Sydney Berry ignited the quick start with 11 points and five steals in the first quarter, as the Patriots (18-5, 7-0 BVAL) took a 20-9 lead. The junior guard finished with a game-high 25 points.
Deer Valley has won the league title outright in five of the past six seasons, and shared the league title with Carondelet in 2008.
Sabrina Englestad added 11 points and nine rebounds for the Patriots. Senior captain Shelby Eastom led the Wolverines with 12 points and 15 rebounds.

Boys soccer
Northgate 1, Concord 0: Brandon Kearney's goal in the 64th minute gave the host Broncos a Diablo Valley Athletic League win over the Minutemen, and Ygnacio Valley the league title.
Concord (11-2-5, 6-1-4 DVAL) needed to win Tuesday and beat idle Ygnacio Valley, which is 9-1-1 in league play, on Thursday to claim a co-championship.
On Northgate's goal, Concord goalkeeper Giovanni Gomez knocked a dangerous ball away from his net. But the rebound found Ryan Hathaway, who one-timed a pass to Kearney.
The win gives the Broncos (11-5-6, 5-4-2) some momentum going into next week's North Coast Section Division II playoffs.

Clayton Valley Charter running back Joe Protheroe has committed to Cal Poly, Eagles coach Tim Murphy said. Protheroe, who rushed for 3,014 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2012, picked Cal Poly over Sacramento State.

Students need to make sure that outstanding library fines are under $50 to receive spring semester results.
Food for Fines is now in its fourth year at the City Campus Library and Kuring-Gai Campus Library. This year, Food for Fines will run from Monday 19 November to Sunday 16 December. Donations can be made at the Enquiries and Loans desks at both campus libraries.
The Food for Fines Campaign is a way for library clients to contribute to a worthy cause and lower their fines at the same time. Staff and students will be able to donate non-perishable items, they can be canned food, jars and packeted food, but no confectionary. Items must not be damaged and the expiry date must not be before June 2013.
For each item donated $3 will be deducted from their fines. A maximum of $30 can be claimed. The Library encourages clients without fines to also donate, as it all goes to a worthy cause. The donations will be given to Mission Australia. They are a local charity helping people who are homeless, unemployed or living in poverty.
So get in the Christmas spirit and start giving.

Finalists Advance to Baldwin Finals Wednesday
April 7, 2011
Sophomore Wins Baldwin Oratorical
Sophomore Wins Baldwin Oratorical
One of the nation's oldest collegiate speech competitions, the
Baldwin Oratorical Contest
at Wabash College, will focus on civic engagement in 2011. Now in its 137th year, the Baldwin Oratorical Contest finalists will present speeches on Wednesday, April 13 at 8:00 p.m. in Lovell Lecture Room in Baxter Hall.
"In keeping with the mission of the revised Rhetoric 101 course — to increase civic engagement among students by emphasizing the communication skills necessary for democratic participation — this year's contest theme is
"Practicing Civic Engagement,"
said Professor Jill Lamberton. "We define civic engagement as our participation in organizations, institutions, and societies with the goal of contributing to the public good. Through civic engagement we enrich our communities and seek means to collectively address the challenges and problems we face."
Advancing to the finals this year are Adam Phipps ("Recycling at Wabash"), Reggie Steele ("Wabash College: Practice What You Preach"), Tim Tan ("Till All thy Loyal Sons Come Home"), and Derrick Li ("Facing Changes in Tradition").
Donovan Bisbee '12 captured first place in the 136th competition a year ago.
Students from across the College participated in preliminary rounds. Only four advanced to the finals, which will be judged this year by three people who have themselves practiced a good bit of civic engagement.
Todd Barton '00 is completing his 25th year with the Crawfordsville Fire Department, for which he served four years as Fire Chief, and he is currently running for Mayor of Crawfordsville.
Alexandra Hoerl is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at Wabash. "She and Rhetoric Professor Jennifer Abbott taught "linked" rhetoric and political science courses last semester; students had to be enrolled in both courses and concurrently studied the principles of democracy and the communication skills necessary for democratic participation," said Lamberton.
Ryan Vaughn '00 is an attorney with the Indianapolis offices of Barnes and Thornburg LLP, and serves as president of the Indianapolis-Marion County City-County Council.
"We framed
the call for entrees
with the statement from the great Wabash Professor of Speech, W.N. Brigance: "Speech is the chief tool with which civilization was developed and it remains the chief tool by which men [sic] work and live together."
Contestants were given great latitude in preparing their speeches. They were simply directed to prepare an 8-10 minute persuasive speech on some aspect of "practicing civic engagement" and to deliver the speech in an extemporaneous style. The initial rounds were judged by members of the Rhetoric Department.
The Baldwin Oratorical Contest was endowed by long-time Wabash Trustee, Judge D.P. Baldwin, who wished to honor the students who "compose and pronounce the best orations." Baldwin was particularly well known for his lectures on English literature and economics.
On the night of the first Baldwin Oratorical Contest in 1873, Judge Baldwin gave each of the finalists a copy of the complete works of Shakespeare. Today, the Rhetoric Department continues that tradition. However, in addition to receiving the volume of Shakespeare, the first place winner will be awarded $250, the second place winner $150, and the third place winner $100.

Dozens of personnel from Civil Air Patrol's Texas Wing remain on duty in Moore, Okla., performing photo damage assessment of homes, public buildings and businesses more than a week after a twister ripped through the town of about 45,000 residents.
"Texas Wing has been absolutely monumental in us completing the mission that FEMA has given us," said Capt. Rick Rutledge, public affairs officer for CAP's Oklahoma Wing. "They were able to send us members almost immediately after the tornado struck. We've had Texas Wing boots on the ground literally in less than 24 hours."
The EF-5 twister mowed its destructive path through Moore May 20, killing seven students when it demolished Plaza Towers Elementary School. Moore is located in the central part of the state and is considered part of Oklahoma City's metropolitan area. The area is known as "Tornado Alley."
CAP's role in the recovery phase involves detailing the destruction from both ground and air for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"We're literally having to send teams to each and every house and business that's been damaged. From the air side, we've been able to provide FEMA with high-definition photographs for the entire 17-mile track of the tornado," Rutledge said.
An estimated 80 CAP air and ground team members — many of them teenage cadets — from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Arkansas are augmenting 450 FEMA personnel who, by Memorial Day, had delivered 43,000 meals and 150,000 liters of water, along with thousands of cots, blankets and other comfort items. FEMA officials say 4,200 people have applied for disaster assistance. The agency has approved an estimated $3.4 million in emergency cash payments to victims of the tornado.
"Texas Wing is honored to have the opportunity to serve in the support mission for the Moore, Okla., tornado," said Col. Brooks Cima, Texas Wing commander.
Cima says approximately 30 Texas Wing members are in Oklahoma, providing air and ground communications and mission support in addition to performing damage assessment. She said CAP wings have a long tradition of supporting each other during emergencies.
"Oklahoma Wing has supported Texas when we've suffered from hurricanes," said Cima. "We owe them that same loyalty."
President Barack Obama toured the town over the Memorial Day Weekend to offer encouragement to Moore's citizens, thank first responders, survey the damage, and assure state and local officials that federal aid would be swift and long-term.
Moore previously suffered extensive damage from tornados on Oct. 4, 1998, May 3, 1999, May 8, 2003, and May 10, 2012. The 1999 twister was at the time considered the costliest in U.S. history.
CAP, the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, is a nonprofit organization chartered by Congress in 1941 with a 501(c)3 designation and pre-dates the Air Force. CAP consists of 61,000 unpaid professional members nationwide, and operates a fleet of 550 aircraft. CAP, in its Air Force auxiliary role, performs 90% of continental U.S. inland search and rescue missions as tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) and is credited by the AFRCC with saving an average of 80 lives annually. Its unpaid professionals also perform homeland security, disaster relief and drug interdiction missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies. The members play a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to more than 26,000 young people currently participating in the CAP cadet programs.

The personal experience that I'd most like to share about having written this book is what it's like to receive the find of feedback I'm getting now that it's out. You see I had this big dream of showing the people what the clay can do and letting people know how much of a difference it made for me. I do mention that in the book. Along with saying that my wish is for other artists to have that same thing happen.
There were many obstacles along the way in writing this book -- much more so I'd say than the typical author experiences. What kept me going was that intention. And when things really weren't going well I had to decide if I should even do the book at all. I decided that I had already done so much work that it should be finished because of the people it may help. My thought was that if it even helps on person then there was enough reason to finish it and get it out there.
Now what I'm experiencing is that it actually is working out the way I had hoped. I usually get one to several people a day writing to me about the book. Some are saying that they really love the book and are inspired by it. That part is such fun and so exciting! Then there are others that are really profoundly affected by it. That is quite sobering. It seems a little silly to say but I guess I just wasn't prepared for this kind of response. Like what did I expect?!?!? I literally poured all these really strong good wishes for other artists into each project I worked on and so of course this is what would happen. I know about the power of attraction and all that. But right now I'm just in awe that it is working so well. Literally in awe that my intentions and dreams and hopes really are coming true for those people. And that will take some time to absorb and process.

The pool.ntp.org project is a big virtual cluster of timeservers providing reliable easy to use NTP service for millions of clients.
The pool is being used by hundreds of millions of systems around the world. It's the default "time server" for most of the major Linux distributions and many networked appliances (see information for vendors).
Because of the large number of users we are in need of more servers. If you have a server with a static IP address always available on the internet, please consider adding it to the system.
The project is maintained and developed by Ask Bjørn Hansen and a great group of contributors on the mailing lists. The source code for the system is available.
Hosting and bandwidth for the "hub" servers are provided by Develooper and Phyber Communications.go up

How to Configure NTP for Use in the NTP Pool Project
Daniel Ziegenberg wrote a tutorial for Digital Ocean on configuring NTP for the NTP Pool on Ubuntu.
Oliver Nadler has another tutorial covering non-Ubuntu, too.

NTP Pool Forum
There's a new forum for discussion related to the NTP Pool at community.ntppool.org. Please come join us. There are a couple interesting threads about the recent leap second and lots of empty space for your questions or suggestions. :-)
The NTP Pool mailing lists are generously hosted on lists.ntp.org on the Network Time Foundation infrastructure. Those servers moved this summer and it's been a bit of "rough seas" since. Over the summer hundreds of people got unsubscribed because mail deliveries were failing and the lists were bouncing all mails for a while in the second half of December.
We'll keep having the mailing list, too. In particular for people new to the project having us build out the new forum will be better (search, better access to archives, getting more mail in your email inbox is optional, etc).
Happy new year!

Excessive load on NTP servers
Since last Tuesday some countries have seen an excessive number of queries to the NTP Pool.
After much detective work on nanog (conclusion) and the #NTP IRC channel it was determined to be a buggy Snapchat app update.
Hopefully the Snapchat developers will fix it soon (and sign up for a vendor zone!).
(Yes, the first link is to a new forum).

Equipment failure
A network switch failed causing an outage for the management system and the NTP Pool website. The DNS and NTP services should only be minorly affected, even if the outage lasts a little while.
I'll update status website with updates.

NTP Best Current Practices
The IETF has published a new version of NTP Best Current Practices documenting learned best practices on how to run NTP servers and clients.
If you know a little about the NTP protocol reading it will be a quick way to learn more about how it works "in the wild" (including on your own systems).
Some of it is specific to the "reference" ntpd implementation, but much of it will apply to other clients or servers, too.
- Older news...
- Terms of service
- NTP home - the website about ntp
- The NTP Pool DNS server uses GeoIP data from MaxMind to help choose an NTP server from the Pool.
- Meinberg, makers of incredibly fine time server systems.
- The Public servers abuse and the Fixing the NTP server abuse problem threads on the comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup have caused this project to be started.

text: Hi, I have installed ISPConfig3 using the tutorial that was called something like "Perfect Server for Debian". It's running perfectly and is great, but - one thing. SpamAsassin is very good in detecting spam, but right now it appends an ***SPAM*** to the mail subject.. if now a mail was wrong marked as spam, my Mail program can't change the mail subject to remvoe the ***SPAM***.... Also, the spam is still flooding my Inbox... So, since I am using IMAP is it possible to move all the SPAM to a spam-folder (that's NOT part of my Inbox)? Additionaly, is it possible to get a weekly spam report mail, like GMX does it? This way one doesn't have to look trought the spam folder all the time... simply check the spam-report mail once a week to see if something important was marked as spam. Is this possible to do, and if so.. how? Thanks, Kira

(Reuters) - Jari-Matti Latvala surged into the lead at the Rally of France after benefiting from Thierry Neuville's early puncture on Saturday.
Belgian Neuville started the day with a 13.1-second overall lead but lost over a minute in the incident and slipped to fifth overall despite winning the 13th stage.
Latvala leads Spain's Dani Sordo of Citroen by 0.4 second while new world champion Sebastien Ogier of France sits in third, 1.5 seconds behind.
Nine-times champion Sebastien Loeb of France, taking part in his final rally, is five seconds off the pace for fourth overall.

For an adult size scarf, trim each of your jelly roll strips into 6 1/2″ segments.
For a child's scarf (or a thinner one) trim the jelly roll strips into 4 1/2″ segments.
Mix up all of the trimmed pieces (one batch per size if you're making both adult and child sized scarves).
Randomly choose three segments (two for child size) and stitch them together to make a block. These blocks will be used for the horizontal striped blocks in the scarf. Depending on the length and style you choose, this will determine how many blocks you will need to create.
Try and mix the colors and fabric patterns to get a nice assortment. I was making a bunch of scarves, so I made many of these blocks.
The next step is to choose your fleece. Like I said I was making a bunch of these for all of the ladies in my family, so I tried to make each one out of a different color fleece. It helps to roll the fleece selvage to selvage to reduce bulk.
Choose 2 segments and lay them right sides together on the fleece a short distance from the selvage, and centered within the width of the fleece. Sew these together along the right edge starting and stopping your stitching even with the fabric edges. Backstitch (or use a locking stitch if your machine is equipped with one) at the beginning and end of each edge to secure the stitching. Trim back any loose threads once stitched on both the top and bottom.
Fold the fabric on top open and finger press into place. The nice thing about using fleece in this step is it basically acts like a design board so it will grab onto the fabric and no iron pressing needed! You can pin the pieces in place until the next piece is stitched, but it is not necessary.
Add a third piece onto the scarf repeating the steps above.
Now grab one of the blocks made earlier, and line it up with the right edge of the pieces already stitched into place. Make sure the lines of stitching are running perpendicular to the pieces stitched already. Stitch into place. Trim your threads again.
Finger press the block open and continue alternating 3 individual segments and one pieced block (starting and stopping with 3 individual segments). For a normal adult scarf, I would alternate 4 groups of individual segments and 3 pieced blocks.
A child's scarf is similar at the beginning and ending with 2 individual segments and a smaller block to alternate. Depending on the age and height of the child, I would suggest beginning with a standard of 4 groups of 2 individual segments and alternating with 3 pieced blocks. I would then adjust this to the specific child to determine if it needs to be lengthened or shortened.
Once all of the pieces are stitched onto the fleece, top stitch around all edges to finish off the quilting. Since the other pieces were quilted as you went, there is no additional need to quilt further. However, you may choose to do so. Trim any threads once again.
Since fleece is a polyester material, it may stretch and get "wonky" on you (actually it will). It's just a matter of how much. That's why I suggest a minimum of 3/8 yard of fleece per scarf. This allows for slight stretching and will allow for more options in the next steps.
Trim the edges of the scarf however you desire. The one shown in the pictures below was trimmed close on either side and left long for fringe on the ends. You can have fringe on all sides or just three sides if you prefer. Some can be longer, some shorter. It's up to you. If you wish to trim it close, I suggest leaving at least a 1/4″ of fleece around each edge of fabric.
To trim the fringe, place one ruler along the edge of your fabric (you can line it up with the edge of the fabric, it doesn't show it here but I did it in other scarves and liked the result better). Match the markings even with the dimensions of the scarf. This will act as your guide/ruler in the next step.
Line up a second ruler even with the first, matching the desired width of fringe cut you would like. For this scarf I cut fringe at each 1/2″ along the edge. Cut with your ruler carefully up to the first, the first will stop your cutter from cutting too far in to the scarf. Just go slow and breathe. Do not rush through this stage.
Keep moving along every mark cutting up to the first ruler. Since your cutter is round, it will not cut all the way to the ruler. My cutter is a 45mm and it left about a 1/2″ uncut gap in front of the first ruler. Obviously a smaller cutter may cut closer, but just be careful.
Emma is showing off a child's scarf made like I demonstrated above. I only used one individual segment on either end to get the right length for her, and trimmed the edges close leaving the ends long with small fringe.
With Maggie's, I took another option using the child's size segments and individually sewing all of them on like a piano key border. For this little fashionista-in-the-making, I cut the fringe with two sizes alternating 1/4″ and 1/2″ cuts on all four sides with all fringe the same length, for a different look from her sister's.
Claire got a traditional adult scarf using the techniques demonstrated. The ends have a small, thicker fringe and the sides are longer and cut thinner.

Spot of Tea: Plan Tea Bottled Teas
I'll admit it: I was drawn to these teas because of the pretty typography on the labels. But as soon as I kept reading, I knew I wanted to try them: bottled tea freshly brewed from whole organic Fair Trade tea leaves? No concentrates or flavorings, and sweetened with honey? Sounds good to me. The closer bottled teas get to real brewed tea, the better.
The White Tea with Lemon and Ginger is shockingly tan in color, due, I think, to a serious dose of ginger. This stuff is quite spicy! Though the ginger overpowers the delicate white tea a bit, I really appreciate how real this tastes; the flavors aren't masked with too much sweetness, and the drink is lightly tannic and just a tiny bit tart. If you were expecting an Arnold Palmer-like drink, this isn't the one (there's lemon peel in here, but not lemonade.) Still, I recommend it for fans of ginger. One warning: the flavorful stuff hasn't been filtered out of this tea, so there's a bit of sediment.
The Black Tea with Mint is intensely minty and cooling, with rich (but not bitter) Darjeeling tea flavor. I do wish they'd consider peppermint instead of spearmint, which always reminds me of toothpaste, but the level of sweetness is pretty near perfect in this tea, and I'd definitely drink it again.

HALLE, Germany (Reuters) - World number three Roger Federer clinched his first title of the season when he battled back from a set down to beat Russia's Mikhail Youzhny 6-7(5)6-3 6-4 and win the Halle Open on Sunday.
Federer, who has now won the Wimbledon warm-up event on grass six times, needed to dig deep for his 77th career title and extend his head-to-head with Youzhny to an impressive 15-0.
The 31-year-old won three break points in the first game but Youzhny's powerful serve got the world number 29 out of early trouble.
The Russian, who defeated three seeded players en route to the final, held serve and matched Federer's skill on grass with hammering groundstrokes.
Federer, who has now beaten Youzhny five times at Halle since 2002, saved a set point at 5-6 but conceded another in the tiebreak for the Russian to take the lead with a well-placed volley.
Federer refused to buckle and finally got his first break when Youzhny double-faulted for 5-3 before he served out the second set.
The Swiss patiently waited for his next break opportunity and got it after a sizzling exchange of groundstrokes, Federer going 4-3 up and holding serve to clinch his maiden 2013 title after two hours and two minutes.

US Toughens Stance on Chinese Cyberspying With 5 Criminal Indictments
May 20, 2014 5:00 AM PT
The U.S. Justice Department on Monday kicked up a notch the Obama administration's efforts to curb China's economic espionage activity against American businesses.
A grand jury indicted five members of the Chinese army on DoJ allegations they conspired to hack into the networks of U.S. companies to steal information that would be useful to their competitors in China.
"This is a case alleging economic espionage by members of the Chinese military and represents the first ever charges against a state actor for this type of hacking," said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
"The range of trade secrets and other sensitive business information stolen in this case is significant and demands an aggressive response," he added.
"Success in the global market place should be based solely on a company's ability to innovate and compete, not on a sponsor government's ability to spy and steal business secrets," Holder continued. "This Administration will not tolerate actions by any nation that seeks to illegally sabotage American companies and undermine the integrity of fair competition in the operation of the free market."
China Outraged
China, as it has done in the past, denied any merit in the indictments.
"This U.S. move, which is based on fabricated facts, grossly violates the basic norms governing international relations and jeopardizes China-U.S. cooperation and mutual trust," said China Foreign Ministry spokesperson Qin Gang.
"The Chinese government, the Chinese military and their relevant personnel have never engaged or participated in cybertheft of trade secrets," he insisted. "The U.S. accusation against Chinese personnel is purely ungrounded and absurd."
The attacks in the indictment have been described in public reports in the past, but for the first time, the names of companies involved have been made public.
In one of the incidents cited in the indictment, alleged hacker Sun Kailiang in 2010 and 2011 stole confidential and proprietary information from Westinghouse to give a Chinese company an edge during negotiations over building some power plants in China.
Sun also is accused of nicking emails from Alcoa relating to a partnership that the company announced with a Chinese firm.
Sticky Fingers
The indictment alleges that Sun and another defendant, Wang "UglyGorilla" Dong, in 2010 planted malware and exploited server vulnerabilities on U.S. Steel systems around the time it was participating in trade litigation against Chinese companies.
Another defendant, Wen Xinyu, is accused of conspiring in 2012 with an unidentified person to steal business documents from SolarWorld that would have enabled a Chinese competitor to target the American company from a number of angles.
Wen allegedly also stole the network credentials for most of the employees at ATI, which was involved in a trade dispute with a Chinese company, as well as emails from senior officials at USW when that company was involved in some disputes over Chinese trade practices in at least two industries.
Two other military figures named in the indictment, Huang Zhenyu and Gu "KandyGoo" Chunhui, contributed to the hacking activities of others by registering and managing domains used by the cyberspies, testing spearphishing letters, and setting up a data base to hold pilfered information from U.S. companies.
Shot Across the Bow
The DoJ indictments have been a long time coming.
"This is an escalation that had to happen," Richard Stiennon, chief research analyst at IT Harvest, told TechNewsWorld.
"This is probably something that should have happened 10 years ago," he said. "There was enough evidence then to start pushing back."
"This is a shot across China's bow," he added. "It demonstrates that the U.S. is serious about this."
It also underscores the vulnerability of U.S. businesses to these kinds of attacks.
"China may be participating in the concept of capitalism, but many of their businesses are still tightly coupled to the government," Julian Waits, CEO of ThreatTrack Security, told TechNewsWorld.
"Our businesses are completely separate, so they're almost crippled in dealing with something like cyberespionage," he pointed out. "Our government won't share information with us. It's up to the business to protect itself."
No one knows yet what China will do in the face of these indictments, but some believe it will act cautiously.
"The Chinese government has an interest in building commercial relationships with U.S. companies, so engaging in any sort of retaliatory behavior in reaction to a public indictment is something that would run counter to that," Paul Tiao, a partner with Hunton & Williams, told TechNewsWorld.
Spur for Norms
While it isn't likely that China will surrender the Army officers named in the indictments, the move can make things uncomfortable for the alleged hackers should they leave China.
"They're on the FBI's Wanted List, and the U.S. government can file a notice with Interpol so any country with an extradition treaty with the U.S. would arrest them," explained Dmitri Alperovitch, cofounder and CTO of CrowdStrike.
"That means no more vacations on the French Riviera or in Thailand," he told TechNewsWorld.
"This sends a message to others who are participating in this activity -- even if they're doing it on behalf of the Chinese government -- that their lives will be severely impacted if they continue to do it," he added.
The indictments also may lead to some positive developments in how nations treat cyberspies.
"This is a step forward on the long road toward establishing a set of international norms regarding cyberespionage," said Tom Cross, director of security research at Lancope.
"These prosecutions do send a clear message regarding what sort of behavior the United States views as unacceptable," he told TechNewsWorld. "That message will prompt a dialog about international norms in this area, and having that dialog is a vital part of coming to grips with the impact that Internet security issues are having on our societies."
