Top Picks for Picnics
When summer arrives, indoor activities move outside. Case in point: mealtimes! One of our favorite summer activities is having a picnic in the sunshine with friends. A picnic lunch is a fun and casual way to hang out, catch some rays and enjoy the summer weather. Packing the perfect picnic isn't difficult either when you have the right tools at your disposal. Forget plastic plates and instant coffee: below we showcase our top picks for picnics, from cool totes for keeping your food (and wine) safe en route to your lunch spot to an ingenious hand coffee grinder for making fresh espresso in the field.
First things first: the perfect picnic basket. While the traditional wicker styles are pretty, they don't do much to keep your food and drinks cold and fresh while en route to your picnic spot. We recommend packing your lunch in the Pop Duo by Kelty. One side is for storage (for cutlery, plates, napkins, etc.) and the other is a cooler that can hold up to twenty 12 oz cans. In the middle is a little pop up table that you can eat off if neccesary.
Stay classy with a picnic hamper in a traditional houndstooth print. The modern picnic is said to descend from Medieval hunting feasts held by European nobility so you'll be carrying on a centuries-old tradition (and a very stylish tote, too!)
Another option is the Picnic Bag by Yield. Made of camping grade nylon or high quality canvas, the tote bag unzips to become a sanitary spot to spread out your picnic. When you've finished your lunch, zip the cloth back up into tote form and hit the road.
For more day-to-day use or a picnic for one, the Box Appetit Bag (to be used with the Box Appetit lunch organizer) unfolds to be a waterproof placemat.
Keeping your drinks and vittles cool is of paramount importance in the summertime. This Portable Freezer is eco-friendly as the cooling is powered by the 2 LED lights with photocells embedded in the lid.
No need to only rely on coolers, however. Go ahead and warm up a pot over the Biolite Camp Stove, a green-friendly device that generates energy from a fire you build out of twigs. This energy can also be used to charge mobile devices and lights for when the sun sets.
For those who want to cycle to their picnic, the Dutch designers at Bloon Studios have just the thing. This elegant picnic rack fits sturdily on the back of your bicycle and contains everything you need for a leisurely lunch in the park, including a little table to keep the food off the ground and away from the ants. A cushion for seating is also included.
You're going to need a good knife for slicing food and fending off hungry bears so go with the best and pick up The Day Packer by Victorinox. The utilitarian knife comes in a range of colors and has a clip-point edge that cuts through cheese and rope alike.
Eating outside is a lot of fun, but it does introduce a few extra guests to the table: bugs. It's just a fact that bees, ants, flies and their friends are sure to be attracted your sandwiches and sodas. However, you can protect your beverage from unwelcome visitors with an ingenius little device called BugPlug. It fits onto the can's tab and rotates to cover the opening to keep out the creepy-crawlies.
Another way to keep bugs off your food: keep your food off the ground. A portable wine holder and picnic table that spears into the ground is just the thing. It's made of eco-friendly bamboo as well.
Be picnic-ready no matter where you are when you don the stylish Buttercup dress from Israeli designers Reddish Studio. Made of a dish towel, a plastic bib top, and a tablecloth, the dress makes it possible to plop down for a picnic anywhere you choose. And no need to worry about clean-up. Wipe your hands on your belt and pop the dress in the washing machine for another day.
If you prefer pants to skirts, don't fret! You can picnic, too! PicNic Pants by Acquacalda Design are where function meets, uh, fashion, the function being a built-in mat for eating while seated and the fashion being the rest of the design. Bonus: the jeans also have pockets for carrying drinks.
A good meal always ends with a coffee and why should a picnic be any different? And we're not talking instant coffee. No, we want Espresso! Handspresso portable espresso maker works like a bicycle pump and only needs hot water to create the perfect cup of java to wash down lunch. Now you can have the perfect cup to end the perfect picnic!

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- On March 7, 2014, at Minnehaha Country Club in Sioux Falls, SD, Paul Schock--the founder of The Prairie Club--was officially inducted into the South Dakota Golf Association (SDGA) Hall of Fame.
Schock joined the Hall of Fame as one of only four golfers in South Dakota history to win both the Men's Match Play and Men's Amateur Championships in the same season (2002)--the most recent golfer to do so. He was honored as the SDGA Male Golfer of the Year on two separate occasions--24 years apart--in 1978 and 2002.
Schock has a list of national accomplishments as well, having played in six U.S. Amateur Championships, one U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship and participating on three United States Golf Association (USGA) Men's Team Championships, representing his home state of South Dakota. He also served on the USGA Mid-Amateur Committee.
In South Dakota amateur team play, Schock has been a member of nine SoDak Cup team competitions and possesses twelve wins--the second most wins by an amateur in SoDak Cup history.
In his recent years, Schock has been busy--alongside his yellow labrador companion, Rylee--developing, a golf resort located in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Since opening in 2010, The Prairie Club has quickly become one of the nation's top golf destinations, recently being ranked one of the "Top 10 Places For 36 Holes in North America" by Links Golf Magazine in 2013.
For Schock, who has spent the majority of his career as a venture capitalist, The Prairie Club represents a dream-come-true of combining business and pleasure. "Not many people get to chase their dream in the way we have at The Prairie Club. It's hard to put into words how blessed I feel to have been able to build something this special. It's truly a labor of love--certainly a lot of labor, but mostly love."
If you would like more information, or to schedule an interview with founder/CEO Paul Schock, please contact Kyle Schock, Sales and Marketing Director, at (605) 261-9072 or email@example.com.

Our outing to the coast was one of my favorites. The Pacific coastline is rugged in places, with big wide black sand beaches in others. It's famous for it's surf breaks, and that seems to be why most tourists come here. We ate deliciously cheap seafood right at the pier where the catch comes in. They prepare baby shrimp that you eat whole, shell and all. I freaked out a bit when the conch started moving and squirming when they squeezed lime on it. Apparently it's only good when eaten ALIVE.
I also tried cow heart (not from the sea!) and a delightful fruit called granada, which is similar to pomegranate. Gladys taught me how to make fried plantains (the salty ones, not sweet ones), which I could eat day and night. They have a house by the beach they use on weekends, and used to raise rabbits there FOR EATING.
One day I made a huge salad, and they kept going on about how good it was. I think they don't eat many fresh vegetables, even though the ingredients are available. Up in the mountains, we stopped to sample some of the local food on offer. I wish I could remember the name of this corn-based hot beverage spiced with cinnamon. It was delicious.
There are tons of fireworks for sale everywhere. Should be a bangin' Christmas.
People from the various political parties are constantly on streetcorners waving huge flags, handing out brochures, putting up signs. It's nice to see people so involved in the process.
There is a movement here to get U2 to tour here. The organization put up billboards, ads in papers, I've seen T-shirts, a web site, it's very organized. Passion!
Similar to Honduras, I've learned that fast-food places have Wi-Fi. So I get my fixes by hanging around Pizza Huts and Pollo Comparos.
One day we went house hunting. They looked at a very modern place with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, large living rooms, modern appliances, balconies, in a gated community, landscaped – $230k.
It makes such a difference staying with a family versus in a hotel. Walking the neighborhood, chatting with people, shopping in the market, being included in their daily activities. Unfortunately my Spanish is still quite poor, so I can't participate in many of the conversations. All but the husband in the family speak at least some English, which makes things easy for me at home. I need to gather some discipline to study each day! Either that or take a week off to go back to school.

Warner Bros. Records is unveiling its largest promotional campaign ever to accompany the release of Fleetwood Mac's Tusk on October 17th.
The record company originally hired a New York advertising agency – Lord, Geller, Federico and Einstein – to develop a marketing strategy, but after reviewing the plan, Warners and Fleetwood Mac decided against using it. This was the first time in its history that the company went to an outside firm for an ad campaign.
"We felt we owed it to the band to exhaust every conceivable outlet," said Shelly Cooper, director of advertising for Warners. "We thought we might get a more creative campaign by going to an agency that has experience selling more than just records."
But Cooper said that the band, which has been heavily involved in planning the campaign, "felt it was being oversold, so the entire campaign is now being done in-house. It's more understated."
Added a source close to Fleetwood Mac: "When the group saw the agency's plan, they thought it was outrageous. They felt that they were being sold like a product – like chewing gum."
The True Life Confessions of Fleetwood Mac
The advertising agency, which specializes in paperback books, hadn't done any work for the record industry for about a dozen years, according to its executive vice-president Ed Yaconetti. "We developed a campaign and now it's in the hands of our client," he said. "We don't know whether they'll use it or not."
The Warners promotional plan is based on three elements taken from the two-record set's package – a Polaroid photo of a dog biting someone's leg (which appears on the album cover), italicized lettering (also used on the cover) and an inner-sleeve photo of the group by Norman Seeff. In addition to some of the usual ad devices, such as posters and stickers, Warners has developed a motorized floor display that features a silk-screened image of the dog.
Another offshoot of the campaign was the decision to release "Tusk" – a song that sounds more like an African tribal march than Fleetwood Mac – as the first single from the album. "That was Mick Fleetwood's idea," said Bob Regehr, vice-president of artist development and publicity for Warners. "I think what he had in mind was to pique people's interest. It's a conversation piece, something that will provoke people." (Warners had to recall its entire first shipment of the single, the bulk of which were pressed by Capitol, because of a scratch on the B side. The record was then re-pressed by CBS.)
The band also filmed an hour-long movie on the making of the album. It will probably air on television some time in November.
Though the company wouldn't say how much it plans to spend advertising Tusk, Cooper described the campaign as "huge" and added. "I wouldn't hesitate to say that we'll be spending considerable amounts for a long time to come."
This is a story from the November 1st, 1979 issue of Rolling Stone.

Manettia (Firecracker vine)
{{{ Thanks to Marnie of Lilacs and Roses, the mystery is solved - it is Manettia (Firecracker Vine) - thanks Marnie!}}}
I am hoping a knowledgeable visitor can identify this vine. This is a very special plant to me. It was given to me by my great-aunt who passed away last Saturday and ironically, it first bloomed this past week. I saw it in her garden years ago and it was smothered with orange-red tubular blooms. She gave me a piece of it this spring and it is growing very fast.
She had a remarkable garden with a huge border of perennials and a large collection of daylilies. Her daughter is still caring for the garden and she tells me that a garden group is coming next spring to see it. I will have to do a post about her garden in the future.
Back to the vine - the blooms look similar to honeysuckle but unlike that vine, the shoots are not woody. The blooms are tubular and long, sure to be a delight with the hummingbirds, and are dark orange-red color. My aunt grew it on a rustic tripod which was about 4 feet high. I'm growing mine on a mini-trellis that is about six feet tall.

Florence downtown containers
I serve on the Florence Beautification Board and this year I was asked to put together the planting schemes for the pots in the downtown area. I was a little apprehensive about this assignment because containers are not really my forte. At home, we have around ten large containers and I have big plans for them in the spring and can picture them abundant and spilling over with blooms like the ones I've seen in gardening magazines. This is rarely the result though and by summer's end, I'm ready to rip them out and start over again.
One strike against me was that we were late getting this task accomplished. It was mid June before we got started! The hot temperatures had already set in and the plants at the nursery were already past their prime. I wanted to use a variety of plants and tried to adhere to the "thriller, filler, spiller" concept. The pots were already planted with an arborvitae in the center and these were to stay in place. Knowing that planting in June was going to be a challenge, I chose plants that I knew would be tough and proven performers.
Some of the plants I used were coleus, sweet potato vine, purple heart (Tradescantia pallida), Mexican heather, million bells (Calibracoa), lantana, plectranthus, angelonia and petunias.
The first month was shaky but the plants finally started growing and filling in about a month later. The business owners are supposed to keep the containers watered - some do, some don't - and for that reason, some look better than others. I think I'm pleased with the way they have turned out. Now it is time to start thinking about the fall plantings.

Visiting Randy & Jamie
[Click on photos for larger images]
Michael and I had a great weekend. We drove down to Prattville, Alabama to visit Randy and Jamie (of Creating our Eden). We've been chatting and e-mailing for almost a year now and we finally met them about a month ago. This was our first opportunity to visit them and see their beautiful garden.
The remarkable thing about this garden is that it was created just this year. In February, a tornado destroyed their garden (but thankfully did little damage to the house) and the garden they had been working on had to be started again from scratch. Two things immediately come to mind: 1) these guys work really hard! and 2) plants grow fast in south Alabama!
My first impression was how lush and colorful it all was. Randy was saying that the blooms were about gone and the garden was on the way out but he could have fooled me.
They have a large collection of cannas and I have to confess, I'm now seeing these plants in a new light. They were all beautiful and I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite.
This border features an abundance of tropical plants like banana trees, elephant's ear, cannas, and ginger. Notice the little 'Red Cascade' rose blooming on the topiary form.
A pink brugmansia (Angel's Trumpet)was loaded with blooms.
I love the way Jamie used pieces of slate underneath this sedum. Very creative! Hmmm, ever thought about a career in garden design Jamie?
This Buddha statue sits at the end of a pathway. The bees were really buzzing around the Mexican heather.
A lion statue sits in a corner.
Randy and Jamie like lions! These lion statues stand at the entrance to a garden wall that will soon be covered in confederate jasmine. They took us to the nursery where they bought them and we came home with a pair for our garden.
After going through my photos, I realized that there are aspects of the garden that I didn't photograph. I was really impressed with the grass pathways that meander through the garden. As the plants and trees mature, it is going to be a magical wonderland of mazes with a visual delight around every corner. No weeds in sight and the edgings are razor sharp! These are meticulous gardeners! I really felt like a slacker when I came back to our garden. Thank you Randy and Jamie for a wonderful visit!

Blankets of snow
What? Snow in September? Not quite, but Sweet Autumn Clematis (Clematis ternifolia) reminds me of it as drapes over hedges and mailboxes across town. It always pops up in our garden unannounced and usually in unwelcome places. For example, the hedge in the above photo runs along the street and encloses a tiny vegetable garden. I always see the clematis scampering about it during the summer and I usually just yank it out since this hedge has to be trimmed about every four or five weeks. I don't know how it escaped me this year but when it started to bloom, it was too pretty to pull it out.
The vines are covered with these tiny star-shaped flowers and will reach distances of 20-30 feet if given the opportunity. It thrives here, in sun or shade, and is very drought tolerant. I'm always digging up seedlings and sharing them. It grows fast and can easily cover an arbor or gazebo in a season. It can be cut back all the way to the ground in the fall or the following spring.
In addition to a beautiful show, the vine has an intoxicating sweet smell!

Statement From NYS Senate Co-Leader Dean G. Skelos
Today's report from the Tax Foundation detailing positive changes to the state's overall tax climate, especially when it comes to reducing the tax burden for businesses, shows we're making real progress in making New York a more attractive place to create jobs and grow for the future.
I'm particularly pleased that many of the reforms that were included in this year's enacted budget, which form the basis for our improved ranking, were ideas Senate Republicans have been advocating for years. By reducing costs for businesses and making New York more competitive, we can create new jobs and keep our young people here to settle and raise their families.
Despite the progress we're making, more remains to be done to improve New York's overall tax climate. We should strongly consider accelerating a number of the tax relief initiatives that have already been enacted into law to provide even more help for businesses and taxpayers. Working with the Governor and our partners in government, we must redouble our efforts to control spending, cut taxes and create an environment where everyone who wants to secure a good job can get one.

'Frosty the Snowman' by Wade Zahares
Includes a 3-song CD recorded by Kenny Loggins.
FROM THE PUBLISHER: One of the most magical of all wintertime songs gets an enchanting interpretation--including a special recording by the incomparable by the incomparable Kenny Loggins--in this charming new picture book.
First recorded over sixty years ago, "Frosty the Snowman" became an instant holiday classic, winning children's hearts and inspiring both an animated film and a long-running television special. Singers such as Gene Autry (the first), the Ronettes, Willie Nelson, and even the Chipmunks have recorded this simple-but-joyful tale of a snowman--with a corncob pipe and a button nose--who comes to life when a magical top hat is put on his head. To everyone's delight, Frosty laughs, runs, and plays. And even though he melts away once the sun comes out, the song still ends happily, with Frosty waving good-bye and assuring his friends not to cry because "I'll be back again some day."

RomanceClass.com Advice
Your intuitions are serving you well in this case.
You should move on and if she calls you so be it.
However, don't put any hope in that happening. She has made her choice and seems to be ready to be faithful.
There are plenty more fish in the sea!

text: It is our objective at Save A Grave.net to encourage an attitude of respect for any burial site. Gravestones are damaged, destroyed or removed illegally and laws are rarely enforced. Unprotected graves may fall prey to land developers or others who seek personal gain, showing no respect for the dead or their families. We would like to encourage preservation, one gravestone at a time. With the lack of laws that fully protect gravesites we want to teach people best practices and standards so that more damage is not caused. We wish for private property owners to allow access to legitimate groups to do repairs and upkeep to burial sites, and to please allow interested people the opportunity to visit the grave sites.

Online Registration is now closed. Please register in person on race day morning.
The 6 Dot Dash is an annual 6K race that is organized by the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). The goal of the event is to raise funds that are used to support our programs that help blind people live the lives they want.
Five Reasons to Support the 6 Dot Dash
1. 2017 NFB BELL (Braille Enrichment for Literacy and Learning) Academy – A two week program that provides blind children initial or advanced Braille instruction in fun, interactive ways. The program will be held in over 40 locations all throughout the country this summer.
2. NFB Free White Cane Program – Any blind individual in the United States and Puerto Rico is offered a free white cane every six months because the NFB believes that a cane is a means to independence, safety, and confidence.
3. 2017 NFB Youth Slam – A week long opportunity for blind high school students to get excited about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) by offering hands-on learning opportunities. Students learn that careers in STEM fields are well within their reach as we raise their expectations.
4. NFB Newsline® – A free digital talking newspaper/magazine service that has over 400 publications, TV listings, weather alerts, job listings, and much more. The service can be used over the telephone, computer, iPhone app, or email. The freedom to read what you want, when you want, and where you want, so that you can live the life you want!
5. Supporting Your Community – Since 1978, the National Federation of the Blind has made its home in Baltimore. Why not come out and support a local nonprofit with a fantastic mission?
The NFB is the largest organized group of blind people in the nation. Since 1940, we have been helping blind people live the lives they want through education, advocacy, training, and services, because we know that blindness is not the characteristic that defines blind people or their futures. Your participation and donations go a long way towards furthering our mission

Bush mission mercifully over but sorry legacy is foreign wars and domestic woes
ANALYSIS:Foreign misadventures and indulgent neglect of the economy dash hopes of a Bush vindication, writes Patrick Smyth
'MISSION ACCOMPLISHED." George W Bush's final press conference last week had something of the delusional quality of those infamous words on the banner on the USS Abraham Lincolnin May 2003. The 43rd president made it clear that he wants history to write him up as a decisive president who followed his convictions about the best way to protect his country, even though often unpopular. There was scarcely any acknowledgment of error, let alone culpability, for the state in which the US finds itself today.
Others see him differently. Patricia Williams, a law professor at Columbia University and Nationcolumnist, argues that the elation surrounding the inauguration tomorrow is as much to do with the Bush departure as with the elevation of Barack Obama: "As important as all that, I think, is a kind of Wizard of Oz-ish fizzy relief about George W Bush's exit – as in Ding Dong, the Wicked Warlock is melting into a nice little past-tense puddle. There's a giddily celebratory sweeping out of the indubitably, absolutely, completely, very worst president in our history." Whatever about his performance, Bush certainly leaves office with disapproval ratings of 72 per cent on the economy and 63 per cent on foreign policy. It's a far cry from his record 88 per cent approval rating at the high point of his first term in November 2001, two months after the World Trade Centre attacks which would define his presidency.
Charming but inarticulate, the wealthy son of a former president and a once hard-drinking scion of Harvard, George W Bush moved in January 2001 from the governor's mansion of Texas to the White House courtesy of a lacklustre campaign by Al Gore and a pliable Supreme Court. The latter's willingness to overturn its own long-standing traditional defence of states' rights to uphold a dubious election result in Florida is still bitterly resented by many Democrats.
Bush compensated for his perceived lack of experience by surrounding himself with foreign and defence policy heavy hitters from previous administrations, from his vice-president Dick Cheney to Donald Rumsfeld in Defence and the popular former chairman of the joint chiefs Colin Powell in State. But, apart from repudiations of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia, continued support for missile defence, and determined opposition to the Kyoto protocol and the International Criminal Court, his main emphasis in the early months of 2001 would be domestic, pledging education reform and the still-awaited reform of the creaking pension system.
That the attacks of 9/11 would have shaken and redefined any presidency is indubitable. But the specific character of the Bush administration and, in particular, its willingness to filter – and discard – intelligence and sober analysis through the prism of hardline neo-conservative ideology, have taken the US on a course since then that few imagine another president would have pursued. In the run-up to 9/11 Bush did not listen to the warnings he did not want to hear, and then conflated the "war on terror" against Afghanistan with the desire of his ministers, expressed within days of the attacks, to complete as they saw it the "unfinished business" of Iraq.
To do so would involve the manufacturing of evidence of weapons of mass destruction and the adoption of the new Bush strategic doctrine of pre-emption. Speaking at West Point on June 1st, 2002, Bush spelled out clearly his rationale for a possible attack on Iraq, but also a doctrine that had far-reaching implications for the international rule of law. "If we wait for threats to fully materialise," he said, "we will have waited too long . . . security will require all Americans to be forward-looking and resolute, to be ready for pre-emptive action when necessary to defend our liberty and to defend our lives." It was a radical shift from the half-century-old policies of deterrence and containment that were built around the notion that an adversary would not attack the US because it would provoke an overwhelming retaliatory strike.
It reinforced the unilateralism that the administration had manifested on issues like global warming and ABM that would see the US dragging reluctant allies behind it into an ill-planned war for which there was no aftermath or exit strategy.
Only in his second term would Bush begin to reverse course, recognising belatedly a role for multilateral action and institutions. By then the tolerance of torture, explicitly sanctioned in the White House, the repudiation of the Geneva Convention, Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, and extraordinary renditions had sullied the US reputation internationally, although in late 2008 it was beginning to be clear that the US surge in Iraq was having some success.
Domestically the Bush administration would be undermined by allegations of incompetence and wilful myopia over its belated responses to Hurricane Katrina, the calamitous collapses of Enron and, more recently, Lehman Brothers.
Last week Bush forgave himself for his role in the country's economic meltdown by arguing that he took office during a recession and presided over 52 months of job growth before things went bad – yet he did it by increasing government spending and cutting taxes at the same time, turning a federal surplus into a punishing deficit that will make recovering from today's woes far harder.
His economic legacy is sorry. The US economic expansion until the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the maelstrom that has followed were driven to a large degree by the interrelated booms in the housing market, consumer spending and financial markets, encouraged by the Bush administration with the idea of an "ownership society".
From 2002 to 2006, the housing boom generated about 600,000 to 800,000 jobs that otherwise would not have been created – 10 per cent of total job growth. Such data, experts say, suggest the economy was not nearly as fundamentally strong as it seemed. And unshaken, it appeared, by the lessons of the Enron collapse the administration contented itself with only the lightest of regulatory hands on the financial sector.
Employment rose by only about 2 per cent during the Bush years, GDP at the slowest pace for any eight-year period since the Truman administration. In September total public debt held by the American people stood at $5.8 trillion, or 41 per cent of GDP – about what the debt-to-GDP ratio has averaged since 1956. But the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.9 trillion over the next two years. Add almost $800 billion of stimulus spending, and US debt is set to soar to 60 per cent of GDP by 2010 — the highest level since the early 1950s.
The Bush response was to borrow more to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, pushing deficits yet higher. He argued that the federal surplus he inherited from Bill Clinton should be returned to taxpayers – "the surplus is not the government's money. The surplus is the people's money." The debt is succeeding generations'.
The Bush years are also seen by many as an "imperial presidency" in which the executive presided over an erosion of the separation of function and politicisation of public services, from the attorney general's department to independent scientists, unparalleled since Richard Nixon.
Mission accomplished? No. Mission over. Yes, mercifully, many would say.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
The DMCA addresses anti-circumvention of technology that protects copyrighted works as well as provides protection for Internet Service Providers. Every three years under the DMCA there is a rulemaking process whereby certain actions are exempted from DMCA violations. The exemptions only last for three years and must either be renewed or they expire.
It is a violation of the DMCA when technology protection software is bypassed to access the underlying copyrighted work. The most common infraction is the ripping of DVD's and CD's. However, there is a rulemaking exception that allows educators to bypass the technology to obtain clips of videos and compile those clips into a work. This exception has now been expanded for use in massive open online courses (MOOCs).
Internet Service Providers (ISP)
An ISP provides a network for users to access the Internet. They do not monitor the content that is sent over the network. They are merely a conduit. Most educational institutions are considered ISP's. However, ISP's are required to address and remove any infringing material that is found on their network when they are notified by the copyright owner. Such notifications are called DMCA notices or DMCA takedown notices.

TIFF: Notes on Oscar hopefuls "Darkest Hour" and "Downsizing"
Detroit may have bombed but the letter "D" could still reign come Oscar time with Dunkirk, Darkest Hour, and Downsizing all potential Best Picture players. Though it can sometimes feel gross to discuss rich movies from an Oscar perspective before they've even been considered as films, it happens to us all this time of year and the films invite it with their slow rollouts from festival reviews that result in months of discussion and speculation before the public can buy tickets. In other words: Look what they made me us do!
After 'miniature masterpiece' style reviews at Venice the critics got considerably chillier with Alexander Payne's latest once it hit Telluride. Now the film is playing in Toronto and the reviews continue to be mixed. This could spell trouble for the film, but be patient. Initial reviews are only part of the Oscar equation...

Diplomat Now Dispensing IMBRUVICA® as First-Line Therapy for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
FLINT, Mich.– March 14, 2016 – The nation's largest independent specialty pharmacy announces new expanded indication for limited-distribution drug IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib).
Diplomat Pharmacy, Inc. (NYSE: DPLO) announced today that it is now filling prescriptions for the new indication of IMBRUVICA® (ibrutinib). IMBRUVICA® was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a first-line treatment for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).
To learn more about Diplomat's oncology program, click here.
CLL is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. CLL is one of the most common types of leukemia in adults, accounting for about one-quarter of the new cases of leukemia. According to the American Cancer Society, it is estimated 18,960 people will be diagnosed with CLL in the United States in 2016. The average age at the time of diagnosis is around 71 years.
"The approval of IMBRUVICA® as a first-line treatment for patients with CLL represents an advancement in drug development and an important option for patients with this disease," said Gary Kadlec, Diplomat president.
In February 2014, IMBRUVICA® was approved for the treatment of patients with CLL who had received at least one prior therapy. IMBRUVICA® is now approved to treat CLL patients regardless of their treatment history (both treatment-naïve and previously treated patients). In addition, IMBRUVICA® is approved to treat high-risk CLL patients who carry the del 17p, a genetic aberration that occurs when part of chromosome 17, the location of the tumor suppressor gene p53, has been lost or deleted.
Since its launch in 2013, IMBRUVICA® has been approved to treat patients with:
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletion
- Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM)
- Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy
IMBRUVICA® is jointly developed and commercialized by Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company and Janssen Biotech, Inc. Click here for complete IMBRUVICA® prescribing information.

In an update on Jeff Hardy from last night's Victory Road pay-per-view, sources continue to report that he was in no condition to wrestle. Sting was said to be a complete professional and had nothing to do with why the match was cut short.
People within TNA are upset that Hardy was even sent out to the ring at all as it was clear to anyone who saw him that he should not have been out there. The feeling is that TNA should have re-shuffled the card, they didn't, and now this looks bad on them and reflects some of the greater problems they have.
We've heard nothing out of Hardy on Twitter overnight except the following Tweet: "Things are op."Presumably Hardy meant "things are ok" but we don't know that. Hardy has been sent home from TNA for the week and will not appear at the next couple of tapings from Orlando, Florida.

Hoffenheim land Lakic
Srdjan Lakic has joined Hoffenheim on loan from their Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg on a deal that is set to run until the end of the season.
Last Updated: 31/01/12 11:09am
Srdjan Lakic has joined Hoffenheim on loan from their Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg on a deal that is set to run until the end of the season.
It appeared as though a deal was dead when Hoffenheim declared that they were no longer interested in the Croatian.
General manager Ernst Tanner claimed Lakic was too expensive, forcing the club to turn their attention elsewhere in their efforts to land a replacement for the Stuttgart-bound Vedad Ibisevic.
A change of heart has seen them push a move through, though, with attacking reinforcements drafted in ahead of the January transfer deadline.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Striker Srdjan Lakic is to join Hoffenheim on loan until the end of the season from Wolfsburg, pending a medical. He will wear the number 39 shirt in Hoffenheim."
Hoffenheim's financial backer Dietmar Hopp earlier told the Rhein-Neckar Zeitung newspaper: "We are delighted to have found a solution which is advantageous for all parties."
Lakic only joined Wolfsburg last summer, although his transfer from Kaiserslautern had been agreed before the arrival of their current coach Felix Magath, under whom the 28-year-old made only 10 appearances in the first half of the season.

Why You Should Start Following @HassanRouhani, the President of Iran
By Masha Hedayati
While the account still lacks a shiny blue checkmark badge, it is widely believed that the handle @HassanRouhani belongs to the President of Iran and is managed by his close entourage. The account began posting tweets on May 5th, and, for a long time, the page specifically tweeted about progress in his presidential platform. Political and Iran junkies were the ones mostly following his account back then. But then, in early September, his account tweeted about the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, and people all over the world became curious about @HassanRouhani. The tweet had a strong, positive reaction and the Iranian President noticed.
While the Iran-US call made history, I argue that another key development unfolded on social media that same day, which, until yesterday, has been largely ignored by political and media analysts.
On the same day of the Iran-US call, something fascinating happened:

Cardinal Dolan angry after legislators renege on tax credits for private schools
April 10, 2014
Cardinal Timothy Dolan has written to 70,000 families in the New York archdiocese, expressing bitter disappointment that the state legislature did not approve tax credits for parents of children in parochial schools.
The cardinal said that he is "frustrated, disappointed, and angry," and still does not understand why promises by New York politicians had not been honored. "Well with some chagrin, I have to admit that a 'done deal' in Albany apparently does not mean what you and I think it means – that something will actually get done," he

These are not your father's Democrats, Cardinal Dolan. You get what you vote for. Time to advise your Catholic flock about the lessons of electing the Party of Death. Just so happens that we have a once-in-a-NY-lifetime pro-life God-given gift from heaven running for Governor, Rob Astorino. How about giving us lots of photo ops with Astorino - signaling your joyful exuberance at a genuinely trustworthy politician.

The NY legislature is heavily Dem. The assembly is 105-44 Dem. This issue will never pass there. The NY City Council is 48-3 Dem and portends big trouble for the good AB. The Dems are traditional Catholic. Both Cuomo and de Blasio are very antagonistic to the views of the conservative Cardinal. I support Dolan's efforts. Of course, Cath schools deserve support. Nevertheless, gay marriage and abortion rights preclude Dem support for the views of the AB and these are Catholics.

You would think that after the same sex marriage fiasco, et al, that the cardinal would know better, especially it seems with the many "representatives" who don't really represent the people. If the cardinal would implement the canons that he and the other bishops refuse to use(which I thought they also had to abide by) things might be different. Maybe a dinner would help?

After his experience over Obamacare with the President, I would think the Cardinal would know better than to think there is such a thing as a "done deal" with a politician. He would do better to find ways to provide Catholic schooling without depending on the state.

They say the school superintendent is using it to oppose Amendment 1.
By JEFFREY S. SOLOCHEK, Times Staff Writer
Published January 23, 2008
LAND O'LAKES - With a week to go before election day, the West Pasco Board of Realtors filed an electioneering complaint Tuesday against Pasco school superintendent Heather Fiorentino regarding her information campaign on Amendment 1.
The organization contends that Fiorentino's use of district e-mail to inform employees about the ramifications of the referendum, which would change the property tax system, violated the law that forbids governments from soliciting votes.
Fiorentino's response: "I haven't sent out any e-mail."
She acknowledged having the district staff create a five-minute DVD about the topic, but she considered the content neutral. Assistant superintendent Renalia DuBose wrote a cover letter with the disc, asking principals to have their staff members view it by Jan. 22 and to send any questions to the district office.
"Our goal is to provide factual, unbiased information to personnel in Pasco County schools," DuBose wrote.
Fiorentino repeated that her goal was only to inform. She did not want to tell people how to vote, she said.
"I firmly believe we have a delegation that is going to fight for education," Fiorentino said. "I just wanted to share the tax information."
Greg Armstrong, the Realtor group's president, said the information coming out of the superintendent's office clearly links passage of Amendment 1 to a decrease in education funding, which in turn could cost some people their jobs.
"She used the school e-mail to send information designed to persuade school employees to vote no or risk losing their jobs," Armstrong said.
Armstrong, who supports Amendment 1, said he disagreed with Fiorentino's interpretation of the referendum. He said the school system presentation did not include information that might persuade people to vote yes, and that his group did not have access to the same distribution system that the district has.
"I've always considered myself a supporter of Heather," Armstrong said, just minutes after filing the complaint with the Florida Elections Commission. "But in this particular instance, we have a difference of opinion that is night and day."

text: Tuesday night I hunted around for a camping spot till late. I finally ended up on a little piece of grass at the East end of the beach in Ocean Springs, right at the front gate to the USM Gulf Research Center. One of the Ocean Springs residence actually showed it to me and said the USM students actually use it to camp. I slept all night Tuesday there, so when I needed a place on Wednesday night, I went back. Well wouldn't you know it, a cop shows up about 1am and runs me off of public land. I know that cops have a difficult job, but he gives me this speech – that sounded like he was repeating something a superior said – how they have had every low life, drug dealing, scammer being a problem and so they now close the beach at 10pm. I guess he couldn't tell the difference between me and a drug dealer. So I ended up trading the roar of the ocean, the cool sea breeze and moonlight for the rumble of diesel engines, the smell of exhaust and parking lot lights on a stretch of grass at the Fleet truck stop that I had scouted earlier in the day. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. The good thing is that I scouted this for a shower in the morning, this way I was already there.

Hamdi Salihi's departure from D.C. United has been in the works for some time, but until a contract resolution is reached, the well-paid Albanian striker will be tethered to the club.
Salihi was not present for fitness tests at George Mason University's field house on Friday morning — the first formal gathering of United's players this preseason and, by extension, the first acknowledgment that he would not return this year.
"We just don't project him competing for a starting spot," General Manager Dave Kasper said. "He's a very good striker, but we're not able to make it work for him."
Salihi, though, has a guaranteed contract, so until he finds a new team or United buys him out, he will remain on the club's books. MLS allows teams to buy out one guaranteed deal per year.
Shedding Salihi would clear salary cap space and a roster slot. It would also free an international position and give United the flexibility to sign a new high-priced player. At the moment, however, a marquee addition from overseas does not appear to be in the club's immediate plans.
With a base salary of $305,000 and guaranteed compensation of $487,000, Salihi was United's second-highest-paid player in 2012 behind Dwayne De Rosario ($618,000/$663,000).
Salihi scored six goals in 22 regular season appearances (10 starts) but fell out of favor midway through the year and didn't factor in United's playoff run.
In Coach Ben Olsen's system, forwards are required to track back, play defense and distribute. Salihi didn't meet those needs and was beaten out for a starting job late in the year by Lionard Pajoy, an attacker who, despite limited finishing ability, did the dirty work on the front line.
The club's fading interest in Salihi surfaced again this month with the acquisition of Rafael, a 20-year-old forward on loan from Brazilian club Bahia. He is awaiting a work visa and might be able to join United in Bradenton, Fla., next weekend.
Goalkeeper Bill Hamid and defender Andy Najar were also absent Friday, but with excuses. Hamid is in U.S. national team camp in Carson, Calif., and Najar is on loan to Belgian club Anderlecht, which is making overtures about a permanent move. United has not received a substantial offer, Kasper said.
Forward Dwayne De Rosario and defender Dejan Jakovic were present Friday but will fly to Arizona on Sunday for Canadian training camp ahead of friendlies against Denmark in Tucson and the United States in Houston.
Meantime, United has extended a camp invitation to Diego Restrepo, the University of Virginia's goalkeeper for the 2009 NCAA championship. He has played for America de Cali in Colombia and Tachira in Venezuela.
Serbian defender Neven Markovic (Sporting Kansas City last season) and former Toronto and Colorado midfielder Joseph Nane (Old Dominion) are also attempting to earn roster spots.
United will add at least two other players during the supplemental college draft Tuesday.
The Washington Spirit continued constructing its roster with a local touch, using its first three picks in the National Women's Soccer League college draft on former All-Mets.
With the second overall selection, the Spirit claimed Florida State forward Tiffany McCarty, a St. John's (D.C.) graduate and The Post's All-Met Player of the Year in fall 2007.
Washington landed Virginia forward Caroline Miller, a two-time first-team All-Met from Walter Johnson, in the second round and Florida midfielder Holly King, the spring 2009 Player of the Year from Broad Run, in the third round.
Last week, the Spirit acquired U.S. national team defender Ali Krieger (Forest Park) and former Washington Freedom players Lori Lindsey (Virginia) and goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris.
The Spirit will play home matches at Maryland SoccerPlex, beginning in April.

FFA's 'MoanaVoices' spreads the word on Fisheries careers for Pacific women
9 Mar, 2017 FFA HQ Honiara SOLOMON ISLANDS – Profiles of eight Pacific women in regional, industry and national fisheries administrations are featured in a new FFA publication aimed at encouraging more women to consider the diverse range of jobs in Offshore Fisheries. (Link to MOANAVOICES magazine here)
From the Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, the Solomon Islands, and Tonga, those profiled in 'MoanaVoices' tell their stories in the first person, with a more informal magazine format to mirror the personal narratives. The publication was launched internally at FFA on International Women's Day 2017, with PDF versions available and a preview campaign on social media underway. Print versions will form the third phase of the regional distribution for the project.
In a foreword by the President of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, HE Dr Hilda Heine, welcomed the initiative. "What do women bring to the decision making tables? They are very hard working. They pay attention to details. They are patient. And with that combination they are able to move the world of fisheries in the Marshall Islands forward and so I think that speaks to all, that women-- when they are involved in leadership, they can and do achieve results," she said.
Thanking President Heine for her endorsement and support, FFA Director General James Movick noted the "sharing of experiences and career pathways into Fisheries is a key approach to strengthening access for other women seeking to enter into this sector".
"Given the reason for this work is to encourage more interest towards a gender-balance across all levels of the sector, the publication is well timed to connect with actions across the Pacific to mark International Women's Day," says DG Movick.
"As we continue to progress the Gender Framework for Fisheries, endorsed by Pacific Ministers in 2016, the voices of all women in this sector are critical to the success of this Framework- and this work is part of our efforts to support that," says DG Movick.
'MoanaVoices' was produced with support from the GEF OFMP project, now in its second phase. The OFMP has been a FFA- implemented regional project that has delivered global milestones and leadership when it comes to management measures over the Western and Central Pacific Ocean fishery. In its second phase, worth US10m to 2019, FFA is working with the Pacific Community, SPC, Parties to the Nauru Agreement, PNA, the Pacific Islands Tuna Industry Association, PITIA, Te Vaka Moana, TVM and the Worldwide Fund for Nature, WWF, as implementing partners to the project. The UN is an executing partner to the project through UNDP and FAO --ENDS
