LAS VEGAS, Nev. – With a defender on her hip, Krissy Karr drove left and put up a six-foot jump shot that made its way through the hoop as time expired to give the Idaho women's basketball team a 57-55 Western Athletic Conference quarterfinal win over San Jose State on Wednesday afternoon.
"That wasn't the play that was called," Karr said of the final possession. "But then I heard Coach Newlee say 'go, go,' so I just went for it and I got the lucky bounce."
The buzzer-beater capped a 15-point comeback for Idaho, as the third-seeded Vandals (15-15) dug themselves into a 26-11 hole 12 minutes into the game.
"We talked after the Seattle U game about buzzer-beaters and how we were on the bad end of it," Idaho coach Jon Newlee said, as his team's last three losses each came by two points. "When we got to Las Vegas, we talked in the locker room about if that situation came up, it would be our turn to hit the shot. Our players embraced that and Krissy certainly did in the end."
The game was tied at 55-all for nearly three minutes, with neither team able pull ahead. With one minute left, Idaho had the ball with a chance to go ahead but Stacey Barr was called for a charge, giving the Spartans the ball with 44 seconds. SJSU's (11-19) Riana Byrd was fouled with 15 seconds to play, but missed both free throws, and Idaho's Ali Forde grabbed the rebound, and the Vandals took timeout to draw up a final play.
Karr finished with 10 points off the bench for Idaho in the game. The buzzer beater was the second of the sophomore's career - she hit a 3-pointer as time expired in an 87-86 overtime win at Nevada on Feb. 9, 2012.
Sophomore Stacey Barr led Idaho with 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting. She added six rebounds.
Freshman Ali Forde came close to a double-double, finishing with nine points and nine rebounds. She was 4-of-6 from the field and added three blocks and two steals.
"I was definitely nervous in the first half," Forde said. "After the timeout coach told me to play free, and I was able to relax and play my game."
The Vandals couldn't buy a bucket early. After Idaho's brief 5-4 lead with 17:40 left in the first, Idaho hit just one field goal in the next seven minutes as the Spartans built a double-digit lead.
Idaho settled in toward the end of the first half, chipping away at SJSU's lead until it was just a five-point, 33-28, deficit at the break. Idaho kept the game within two possessions the entire second half, but didn't regain the lead until Alyssa Charlston hit a fast-break layup with 4:16 to play that put the Vandals ahead 53-52. That lead lasted only 26 seconds, however, as Byrd made a layup on the other end to put San Jose State back on top 54-53 before the near three-minute 55-55 deadlock.
Idaho shot 42 percent from the field, going 24-of-57. The Vandals hit just 5-of-21 3-point attempts, but nearly matched San Jose State's 32 paint points by scoring 26 of their own.
Idaho advances to the WAC semifinals for the second consecutive season. The Vandals will face the winner of No. 2 Utah State and No. 7 Denver at noon on Friday.

Perfecting The Art Of Harvest
By Amanda Huber
Southeast Editor
While production agriculture is firmly rooted in science, various practices within a production system can often be thought of as an art. The timing of cotton harvest is one of those things that may fall under this realm. That does not mean, however, that aspects of the harvest process cannot be improved upon; it really is a matter of attention to details.
Don Register, a Waterloo, Ga., producer, says he thinks farmers often wait too long to defoliate.
"It's been proven that if we'll go ahead when those bolls show maturity, which you can take your pocket knife and tell, that's the time to defoliate," he says. "We have a tendency to try to make every little bit, and you will lose some when you do that."
Producers can use several different methods for determining maturity or a combination of methods.
"I take my pocketknife to one of those bolls near the top," Register says. "If I can't cut through it, you can
defoliate, and it will open up. Those you can slice right through won't."
Counting nodes above cracked boll is another method, as is the recommendation of defoliating at 60 percent open bolls. However, producers are cautioned not to make an estimate of the field, but to get out into the field and make an actual count.
"You have to go into the field to know exactly what you've got," says Jack Royal, a Georgia crop consultant with 32 years experience. "We go into the fields and start cutting bolls and looking at the material until the last boll is harvested."
Better Early Than Late
Glen Harris, University of Georgia Extension agronomist, references research from Craig Bednarz that showed it is better to defoliate earlier than to be too late.
"He even started defoliating a crop once when it only had 20 percent open bolls," Harris says. "He didn't do any worse yield-wise than if he had waited to 60 percent. When he waited until 80 percent open, the weather affected the crop and resulted in more loss."
Once the timing is determined, Royal says farmers work hard to get in as much of the crop as possible.
"We don't mind spending the money for the boll openers and defoliants," he says. "There is no recourse if you skimp on defoliants. I've always found if you do that, you are only hurting yourself in the end."
A good rule of thumb is to defoliate only what you can realistically pick in a 12- to 15-day period. Don't defoliate when the forecast calls for below-normal temperatures, but do defoliate prior to the first hard frost.
Aim For Clean Crop
Another reason to get into the field is to scout for items, such as plastic bags, that could be picked up by the machinery and contaminate the cotton. Cotton picked clean and at the proper moisture content doesn't need as much processing at the gin, and less processing means a better quality product.
While it used to be determined that producers needed to get their peanuts up before starting cotton, this is no longer the case.
"Now," Harris says, "producers will start with the cotton. Then, when peanuts are ready, get them out of the field and return to the cotton when the peanuts are finished."
Royal says the use of six-row pickers allows them to get through with peanuts faster.
"With the technology, we can gather peanuts more quickly. We may pick some cotton at the same time."
This year, most everyone expects harvest in the Southeast to run into late November.
"Overall, it's going to be a late, dragged out year," Royal says. "But, we do what we can do and work around the weather."
And that's about all anyone in this business can do.

Boehner to Obama: 'You've got your tax increase'
Republicans and Democrats dig in yet one more time in a budget fight. The big question is how much the battles will hurt the economy.
President Obama wants some tax increases to offset some inevitable spending cuts. The Republicans won't discuss it.
The President on Monday urged the nation's governors to press Washington lawmakers into action to avert the looming sequester. "All of us are concerned about our politics, both in our own party's as well as the other party's. But at some point we've got to do some governing," he said.
But House Speaker John Boehner scoffed Monday at the tax idea. "The president says we have to have another tax increase to avoid the sequester," Boehner said. "Well, Mr. President, you got your tax increase. It's time to cut spending."
Boehner and others accused Obama of running a political campaign and trying to scare Americans rather than doing any serious talking about sequestration.
It's not clear how soon the cuts will be apparent after Friday when sequestration is supposed to kick in. Investors, however, didn't much like the uncertainty. The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) fell 216 points to 13,784, the worst loss for the blue-chip index since November.
The sell-off was exacerbated by worries that Italy was heading to political deadlock and could disrupt markets in Europe.
The sequester involves about $85 billion in cuts, roughly split between military and nonmilitary domestic programs. It was imposed in the 2011 deal that ended the debt-ceiling crisis. The cuts were meant as a scare tactic, not as a real-world policy, the Washington Post noted on Monday. The cuts conceptually were so deep and so painful, it was believed, that the two parties would be forced to replace them with something else.
But the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party is the controlling element, and they want spending cuts more than they care about anything else.
But after Boehner reportedly said over the weekend that the president had "b---s made out of marshmallows," the White House might not be too excited to negotiate with him.
The real bite will come on or about March 27 when Congress is supposed to pass a continuing resolution to keep the government running.
There are clear indications of who would be affected: Everyone. Federal employees face furloughs and salary cuts. Federal hiring has been frozen. The Transportation Department is warning that flights could be delayed or cancelled as air controllers are furloughed.
Airport security lines will be longer, Homeland Security Secret Janet Napolitano said Monday.
Most affected all will states and communities with big defense presences, including Texas, California, Florida, Virginia, Washington State and Hawaii.
In addition, medical research would be disrupted as would Medicare and other popular programs.
More on Top Stocks
We need 10 times the spending cuts just to get back to where W left us... Obama is a Lazy, Arrogant, Corrupt Imbecile.
850 Billion in spending cuts would still leave us a 400 billion dollar deficit. 85 Billion in spending cuts is what the imbecile Obama (and Bernache) are printing every month.
We need way more spending cuts. Obama got his HUGE tax increase on the RICH! I guess by rich, he means anyone with a job... No it is time for Obama to live up to his Sequester Plan. It was HIS idea and now he is against Balanced approach...
And if you actually believe they are spending more more for air travel then they are taking in, I have a swamp in Florida to sell you. The government lies and it's all just a game to them.
It's not so much the $174,000 salary the Senators and House guys pull down but the $2 trillion dollars of contracts that have 50 percent profit in them that they give to their buddies who in turn kick them back $60 billion in campain funds.
Hmmm let's see $1 trillion dollars of pure profit for only $60 billion dollars.
each year --
very very nice profit almost a 20 times return on investment per year. Sweet.
Hey if my senator is listening give me a $100 billion dollar contract and I will put say $10 billion to your campain fund ... Not that the money is coming from the profit on the contract.
Just what was that contract again. Oh yeah a survey of women if they wear make-up or not.
On second thought perhaps $100 billion is not enough let's bump the number up to $200 billion after all Bernanke can print that in seconds.
No surprise here........... That is why the republicans tried to hold the ground on the first tax increase because they knew it would just open the flood gate for more tax increases. First the democrats will try to tax the rich to death and then they will start on the upper middle class then the middle class then the lower middle class........ All you people that supported the beginning of this raise tax cycle will soon be hip deep in it unless the republicans hold their ground and spending cuts that make sense are inacted.

Seeing Adele on the Grammy Awards Sunday night may have whetted fans' appetites for new music from the singer, but it looks like they'll have to wait a while for it. Adele says she hasn't made much progress on the follow-up to her gazillion-selling disc 21 .
Rolling Stone reports that backstage at the Grammys, Adele said of her new album, "I'm not very far along. I've been having lots of meetings…but I've been out the loop, really."
That's understandable, given that Adele just welcomed her first child in October. Rolling Stone reports that she told reporters, "I've just been singing my baby nursery rhymes, so I don't really know what's cool and what's not."
However, Adele said that she does have plans to team up once again with Paul Epworth , her collaborator on "Rolling in the Deep," "Skyfall" and other tracks. "I'm definitely going to visit with Paul Epworth and talk about doing that again," she said.
Meanwhile, speaking of her baby, on the red carpet, photographers caught Adele sporting a tattoo behind her right ear: a capital letter "A" in script. Is this another clue that Adele's baby son is named "Angelo?" She was seen wearing a necklace with that name a few weeks ago.

Pearl Jam revisits some historical battles in the new video for " Mind Your Manners ," the first single from the group's upcoming tenth studio album, Lightning Bolt , due October 15.
The three-minute clip features the band performing the track in front of a screen which is projecting stock war footage of explosions, mixed with a variety of animated images of lightning, soldiers marching and guns firing.
You'll get your chance to hear the song performed live when the band heads out on a North American tour this fall. That trek begins on October 11 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA. To see the full list of dates, visit PearlJam.com .

Highland High School Basketball: Cheap Shot or Not?
12/18/12 in HS Basketball | jetosborne | 1 respect
This incident occurred on 12/14/12 in the 1st quarter of a high school basketball game in Pocatello, Idaho between Skyline and Highland. The player was not caught by the officials and no foul was called. He has now been suspended one game by the school. Yet the player and the Highland coaches and administration contend that the hit was unintentional. The player who was hit, #22 for Skyline, has not been able to practice yet this week and will likely miss the next 1-2 games due to his concussion symptoms. If this happened in your state, what would the consequences be? How would this be handled? Thanks in advance for sharing your opinions.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Detroit's bankruptcy consultant fees are drawing questions from the city's unions. The city is reportedly paying a 22-year-old financial analyst, who graduated from college last year, 275-dollars an hour.
The recent graduate is employed by Conway MacKenzie, a consulting firm that billed the city close to 290-thousand-dollars for work done by eleven staffers over a two-week period in July. While some critics question paying a 22-year-old 275-dollars an hour, Bill Nowling, spokesperson for Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr, says the hourly amounts were negotiated as flat rates so there are others with more experience handling the matter as well.
Conway MacKenzie's contract allows it to bill up to 400,000-dollars every two weeks for its work.

This conversation is closed.
Does your country have an Electronic Direct Democratic (E2D) party?
I'm curious to find TEDsters who know of, or are members of any E2D party that might exist in your home country.
I'd like to hear some of the success stories you've had and how the general implementation of the party is going.
I'd also really like to talk to and/or help anyone thinking of starting a new E2D party in a country.
In case you haven't heard of E2D (which most of you likely haven't) I'll provide a link to the manifesto here: http://e2d-international.org/manifesto/
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 3 2013: Is that a question?
Does it in any way respond to any question asked above?
I claim that your question is simply an irrelevant snide remark.
I designed the question to keep people like you, and (especially you) out of this.
This Conversation is not a debate about if it's right or wrong or who the tyrant is (you'd make a great tyrant btw, always thinking you know better). It is a conversation meant to help like minded people share ideas and stories about a new way to govern.
If you wish to have a debate about who the biggest tyrant is you should start a conversation about it, I however would not join you in it.
Jun 5 2013: Yes Pat, If you can't keep on topic or answer a sub question in the explanation then your general negative attitude is not welcome.
I would not come to a capitalistic conversation of yours with a short out of the blue, off-topic statement like " You just want capitalistic tyranny!".
I wonder why you keep being ostracized everywhere... Strange really, you're so likable!
Jah KableJun 5 2013: Pat I'm sorry but you're wrong here. It plainly states at the top that it is DEMOCRATIC. I don't sense the "smugness" either Pat. Jimmy simply explained logically why your input was invalid. It is completely off topic and to further that you brought up socialists which doesn't make sense. People still vote and are not forced to do so or threatened in any manner to sway their vote. Before you even try to say elitist to me I'll define myself. 23, African American/Caucasian decent, Single parent household, Unemployed, College Drop Out, "Bleeding Heart" by some, Humanitarian by others, No strong religious belief, No strong political affiliations or bias. Take it for what it is Pat, Don't assume such wild things :D We love all thoughts here except ones that are unfounded and ludicrous in nature. Hope your day brightens up man!
Gordon Barker 10+Jun 4 2013: I rarely agree with Pat (nothing personal Pat) however here he is correct and you are incapable of reading between the line(s).
The manifesto you refer to is a recipe for mob rule or a tyranny of the majority as Pat suggests.
A democracy only works if you have an informed population. You suggest personal involvement in government without checks or balances.
It is difficult to imagine a more horrible scenario. (well.. I can but then I've got a really warped imagination).
Jimmy Strobl 50+Jun 5 2013: Gordon,
By your definition no democracy works as they are now, as I'm guessing that you don't consider any nations majority of citizens to be informed (enough) to know what is best.
Are they however informed enough to choose their leaders in a political process that very few understand?
Switzerland, for example, has this kind of "tyranny" and it's working fine there, only they actually have to get out to the town square every time they have to vote.
Jah KableJun 5 2013: Gordon, As i stated in my comment above the people need to be educated to allow this to be effective. We are not truly educated by design ( the design of the school system molds us into this "educated yet stupid" cut outs). This rationalizes why education costs so much at higher levels. Only the elitist are giving a fighting chance to understand how the government works. No one ever said do away with checks and balances either. That is your assumption. This merely say the people will vote on all legislation via electronic devices. In this case the people would become Congress. The population of the nation would check and balance the other two branches of government. The people have to power to veto the government. The people have the power to say "No Mr.President we are(n't) going to war." The people simply have the power. It would be an adjustment but it would be nothing like you are stating. Change someones mindset and you will change their actions, motivations, and overall goals. Only with mindsets such as yours would things that you imagine become truths.
Jun 5 2013: Jah
It is very much on topic. What is the definition of the tyranny of the majority?
Do you see any smugness in the below quote?
"Yeah, that's what I've been thinking as well. I think that the US really needs a system like this to get rid much of the stupidity and corruption."
PS this is a response to Jimmies post just below:
"You have a model for ruling my world, I'm advocating a model for people to rule."
That is not true.
By definition learning requires comparing notes. If information is not compared to anything else it just so much noise and of no value.
You have decided that everything I say is noise. Therefore you have not noticed that the very core of my agenda is to promote the freedom of the individual.
The difference is that you believe in the power of the collective, that will give power to the people, I do not.
I believe freedom is given to people by giving them freedom, especially freedom of choice.
Jun 5 2013: I think Pat's question is connected to the question you pose, Jimmy, because it seeks clarification of what you consider "success."
There would be no harm in your replying with a short explanation of the particular merits you see in such a party and any natural safeguards against the scenarios that concern Pat.
Jun 5 2013: Fritzie,
I have respect for you and most comments that I've read have been both insightful and diplomatic.
I do however beg to differ. Pats question is as follows
"A more efficient way to exercise the tyranny of the majority?"
It does not seek clarification on what i consider a success, it is nothing more then a snide remark aimed at me and my political conviction. And neither of them have anything to do with this Conversation.
How did you come to the conclusion that he's wondering about what a success for a political party would be? I have seen debates on many wordings here on TED but the word success is in this case just a word that's in there, for everyone to interpret as they see fit, and if they have a story that they think is a success story then I'd like to hear about it.
It's very easy.
And I would walk the high road, but not with Pat. There's no use in trying to explain anything like this to him because he's made up his mind and he's just here to disrupt (which is in violation of the Terms of use).
Upon checking them again I see that they've changed since last. Apparently you don't have to stay on topic anymore so Pat is free to write whatever he wants here.
There would be no harm in replying with the short explanation but I have already explained this to Pat on other Conversations and provided links to information.
If he has any questions he is free to ask them in a polite manner and I will do my best to answer them.
The same goes for you Fritzie, if you have any questions say concerning safeguards and such it would be nice if you asked them in a new post so that it all doesn't get jumbled together.
Jun 5 2013: The Swede and Canadian stating what is best for the U.S. and stating their opinion as to the intelligence and ethical standard within the U.S.
This is similar to what happens with the tyranny of the majority as in the scenario where the government robs from Peter to pay Paul you can always count on the support of Paul. When Paul is the majority you have the end of the country and more importantly with it the end of liberty for the individual.
Jun 5 2013: Oh, I just checked your location and thought that you were from the US...
I'm not sure if you're aware that you have the Online Party of Canada since November last year. I have no more information then that they exist and go under the E2D manifesto...
Here's a link http://www.onlineparty.ca/
Jun 5 2013: Things might get done but what things???
Who would protect the rights of the unpopular. I could see gay rights evaporating in the US south in about 5 minutes
The debates possible over a media like this are poor replacements for a face to face discussion and should not be the platform that government is directed from.
The number of ways an opposing point of view can hijack a debate in an electronic forum are to numerous for this to be a safe, governing body.
I can see it now. Lets build a bridge here. Yeah - everybody agrees we need a bridge here. It'll cost this much. Holy Shit - cancel the bridge.
We will enter a time of brittleness in action and appropriation.
No thanks.
Jun 5 2013: Gordon,
In my party we use an algorithm to make sure that no vote is made to swiftly. For example the speed of which a vote is decided is dependent on the number of voters (and a few other things). If I were to propose a law change on something and I would be the only one in Sweden to propose this the voting would be open for more then 100 years.
You may visualize the voting process as a tug-of-war with a huge weigh in the middle to prevent a single person from grabbing the rope and running away...
I hope that answers at least a bit of your question.
If you have more of wish me to clarify on something would you please make a new post of it so that it comes on top?
Jun 10 2013: Pat, I should apologize for my initial comment to you. I did not know that "tyranny of the majority" was a concept and I thought that you were just making outrageous accusations about the majority of people being tyrants.
Well you basically did (and I disagree) but you did ask a valid question. It was my lack of knowledge that lead to that misunderstanding. Apologies.
Jun 10 2013: No apology necessary, but thank you.
Debate is actually a way of learning by comparison of ideas, so it is good.
The problem is that most people do not get to a point of genuine communication.
With that said what about the concept of financial enslavement, high taxes? The idea of ruining a life with government welfare?
Jun 10 2013: What you call financial aid I call enslavement. Which gets people addicted to government transfers. In effect robbing them of a life, the road to hell is lined with good intentions. The core of what is missing is a metric for these good intentions and more importantly the correct metric not one that is picked by a self serving politician. This is the very foundation of the scientific method.
I'm talking about the aggregate, in the U.S. it is a minimum of 50% unless you are in the lowest quintile
ZX Style on TED was complaining of 70% tax in the Netherlands.
Jun 10 2013: Don't know in your country but in the U.S. it just adding up the taxes:
State income tax varies but maybe 5% to 11%
Sales tax varies as well but maybe 8%
Income tax 15% to 35% (has been as high as 92%)
Social Security/Medicare 15.4%
Property tax varies .2-4% of the property value (if you rent the cost is added into the rent)
Gasoline tax varies .3 per gallon or roughly 8% of your gas cost
If you smoke or drink
Tobacco .37 to 4.35 per pack
Alcohol varies too much
Anyway I guess around 50% for the average person
I'm sure I'm missing some not to mention tickets and fines. The other day I got a ticket for heinous crime of not using a seat belt = $172.00
Jun 10 2013: I think a key point Pat works towards is "pay the taxes of the government who de facto has no accountability to the people".
I have ideas about taxation but I believe basically any taxation system is correct, if the funds are spent according to how the population wants them to be spent. The current problem is tax dollars are spent according to power games between politicians and their powerful supporters.
Conservatives: reduce taxes on the rich and corporations, deregulate industry, strip education and social programs so the poor have no support. Trickle down economics. Every person for themselves mentality resulting in lack of opportunity for those born into low socioeconomic homes.
Liberals: Throw money at inefficient social programs, bow to unions, overtax industry to support an inefficient public sector.
I believe the average person is more centrist than this, why politics swing from one party to the other every few elections cycles, Liberals come in then after a while the population feels they are too liberal, Conservatives come in and they are too conservative.
If the population had control of the purse strings they would demand efficient social programs and effective support for industry, they would promote hard work and creativity by allowing individuals to achieve wealth, while reducing wealth disparity (ie reduce the super wealthy class that holds an unethical amount of power).
Special interest groups and unions would have to negotiate with the public, not with politicians to whom they can offer support in the next election in return for political favors.
Jun 11 2013: Sven
There is actually a certain amount of skill required to intelligently sift through the details. Which make the public that much more vulnerable to manipulation.
In this post you yourself have stated a couple of points that are specious and indicate that you subscribe to straw men arguments which indicates your ignorance regarding economic matters.
This is not a matter of me regurgitating rhetoric, just a basic understanding of economics.
The accountability will not matter if it falls on deaf ears. You are ignoring the reality of people's ignorance.
Jun 11 2013: I accept that many people are ignorant, myself included, but no-one can know everything about everything. One person may understand international economics but not understand global warming, or macro economics, or understand how faith is interwoven into many peoples lives.
If people are ignorant we should not give them the vote? How do we judge ignorance? People in the Bible Belt of USA would have a different interpretation of ignorance than a graduate of Johns Hopkins University, or for that matter a rural Asian farmer who looks at peaceful co-existence with nature and their fellow person as important, and thirst for material wealth to be ignorant.
If we only let intelligent people make decisions, who dictates intelligence? Other "intelligent" people? My brother followed through a couple of doctorates at Stanford University and had settled in to the Academic path, but had to get out, he was sick of the "politics" of Academia, people taking credit for others work, playing the publishing game to gain fellowships and so on.
I believe in education but any time you concentrate power you will have corruption, the more you spread power out the more difficult it is to corrupt.
I agree with many of your arguments but I do not yet understand what your preferable solution is, you wrote "education", that is pretty vague. Maybe you mean policy should be dictated by scientific evidence, that is fair enough and many people supporting the DD movement agree but how do you implement it, which scientists do you follow, how do they become a trusted scientist. Can you elaborate on what you think is the correct path.
Jun 11 2013: I stated somewhere a remedial education in economics. It could be done on TV on a national scale. In order to save this country from implosion (and with it other countries) the people have to be educated about budgets (not sequester BS), entitlements, and economics, a move to repeal of the central bank .
Another tact that could be taken would be just to get an alternative money system as this is central to economic problems.
Jun 11 2013: These are all social policy changes, how are you going to enact them under a representative system that sustains itself by not enacting policy such as this?
I do not specifically disagree with any of the ideas you present, but I do not see how it will happen unless the public has a some form of control over policy. The solution I believe in is a direct democracy. The direct democracy is the foundation that allows public focused and supported policy to come about.
Are you opposed to a direct democracy? Do you support a representative democracy system? Or do you feel any system is fine as long as these policies come into place. If you think any system is fine, which do you think would achieve these policies quicker, if at all.
If neither a direct or a representative system would achieve them, what would?
Jun 11 2013: My concern as stated initially is the tyranny of the majority, I do not see how this can be circumvented. In actual fact the best example of this is the belt way as a new politician is co opted into the corruption by the existing politicians. So in reality the idea of a republic is blunted as well.
Which brings me back to education.
The only thing a politician cares about is reelection. If you educate the voters the politicians will respond. If you create a culture in the people by changing their ideas and (tacit) agreements we have a force that politicians will have to listen to or be gone. Look at what McCarthy was able to do on this subject. Not that I'm endorsing a witch hunt but it sure changed the culture on the beltway. Or look at Commons Sense written by Thomas Paine sold 500,000 copies in the first year in 1776, keep in mind that the population then was 2.5 million. If anyone was seminal in the American Revolution it was Paine. Or look at what Voltaire did regarding this earlier in France. Or listen to Simon Sinek talk about how Martin Luther King attracted a crowd of 250,000 in 1963 with out any promo. Me thinks you underestimate the power of ideas?
My main concern is simply the math of the debt and dearth of freedom it creates.
I think the constitution was written by some pretty smart fellers which resulted in the most successful country in the world by producing the most improvement in the standard of living and the most freedom the world has seen. I would not be in too big of hurry on this else we might throw out the baby with the bath water. I just want to enhance the natural law that is organic to people and diminish what is not organic to him.
Jun 11 2013: All democratic systems risk tyranny of the majority as they all incorporate some sort of majority rules voting. The representative system is no exception, so protections are put in place.
Many of the same protections can exist in a DD, for example in the US you could have a DD political party, some of their candidates get voted in, for legislature that is voted on the DD representatives vote according to a majority vote of the population. But the presidential veto still exists, the bill of rights and constitution still exist, the protections are still there.
You did not address these possible protections against tyranny of the majority, if they work in a representative system why not a direct system?
Education is wonderful, strong moving ideas are great, but if the governing system concentrates power in the few, for example in representatives, you will often be taking one step forward and two steps back, the corrupt will be attracted to that power and will always find ways to abuse it. You may get some legislation passed improving education, restricting media, regulating financial institutions, but in time it will be eroded and back doors will intentionally be put in place.
The people who wrote the constitution were smart yes, moral for sure, but they were not superhuman, they were not deities, it is not a bible that the human race has to follow forever because "they" made it. They lived in very different times, representatives were needed because there was no effective form of mass or fast communication, maybe if they were drafting a system now they would have made it differently. It is not important, what is important is the system that has evolved from what they made has failings, a direct democracy may address those failings.
p.s. Success means different things to different people, USA was the most powerful country in the world yes, richest yes, but most successful, depends on your interpretation (child obesity, child drug use, disparity of wealth, etc..)
Jun 11 2013: The main point I'm making is that we need to focus on only what is important. Yes the American Republic has not produced as much freedom as it might have but it is better than anyone else's by results in freedom and standard of living.
Better or worse I don't see DD as vital to effecting changes in freedom and a better standard of living.
I'm not talking about legislation passed improving education, restricting media, regulating financial institutions. You miss my point completely.
Everything erodes and dies, unless there is a miracle, including the U.S. but the fact is the world will be worse for it's demise.
But the tool to effect change is along the lines of the book Common Sense by John Paine.
Jun 11 2013: I believe I understand where you are coming from, and I do not know whether a direct democracy will improve any countries standard of living or individual freedom. I think there is a high chance direct democracy, if it comes about quickly, would initially do damage to things like a countries economic standing in the world, until the population matures and realizes consequences have to be considered.
There are reasons I still support direct democracy, one is I believe it is about time the human race matured and we started taking responsibility for our own future, our planet, the global community we are part of. We are connected like we have never been before, we have technology and education like we have never had before, the population of the world is exploding like it has never done before, we cannot continue acting like children, blaming elected representatives for the ills of the world, living our insulated polluting lives hoping everything will be OK and others will clean up after us.
Another is the big problems that are bearing down on our children are not effectively being tackled by elected representatives, global warming if it is real, and most scientists believe it is, needs action to be taken and soon. Pollution of our worlds air, water, soil, over fishing of our oceans, antibiotic resistant drugs. All these things and many others mixed together with an increased world population is a recipe for disaster. The world needs to work together to address these issues, but politicians, at the call of special interest groups, often take us in the opposite direction.
So I agree with you, direct democracy might not improve standard of living or individual freedom, but for better or worse it will empower society to move forwards in the way the society believes is right.
I believe it would be for the better.

LV & Kina's Taco Challenge Episode 1
Since LaVaughn and I are self proclaimed foodies and total nerds when it comes to photography/challenges/food, we decided to do a taco challenge. It's simple, really - you get together in a kitchen and make tacos from ingredients found in your house.
Of course, mini tortillas are preferable as a base item, since they are needed in order for a taco to be a taco. Another preference is to make as many tacos as there are people, so that everyone gets to have a taste of each taco. However, if you're 6 people, you may want to reconsider. As small as the tortillas are, we were both completely satisfied with two small tacos, one of each kind.
Given the fact that we had mentioned doing this 2 days prior and had forgotten to grab some "key" ingredients, we both started the "challenge" in a nonchalant manner. However, as time went by and we both started eyeing each other's stations, the friendly "competition" really began.
We both finished our tacos in about 30 minutes' time, and were utterly surprised at the different our tacos looked and tasted.
I made a pan seared chipotle pork taco with a creamy salsa verde dressing, guacamole and orange peppers with melted provolone cheese. I decorated the taco with spices and grated spinach to add a little freshness to the dish. Oh, and more of the creamy verde dressing.
LaVaughn went a completely different (and sickeningly delicious) route by breading tilapia, and frying it (adding his own twist to the mixture) and topping it with home made salsa, aoli dressing and pickled red onions
Here are the results - and if you're curious, we didn't pick a winner. We physically couldn't decide as they were both too different and too amazing. (in the culinary world, it is not considered obnoxious to celebrate your own talent - I assume)
The Tribal Craze featuring The Tribal Legging!
I've been on the lookout for a different legging that I can wear with a subdued shirt rather than the other way around for a while.
The tribal print is a craze I partook in 100%… I have a few shirts that helped me to participate in it. I recently came across this legging that is half patterned, and as infatuated as I am with the legging, I still wonder if it would be the way to go. What do you think?
American Apparel
Cute handbag of the day.. BODHI Safety Clutch
Came across this brand on GILT.com (I love all those websites and frequent them regularly) and remembered seeing them on Gossip Girl a few years back… what do you think of this clutch? I am completely in love with it.
Even though this clutch is not available on GILT.com, other BODHI handbags are…
My obsession with Wanelo.com
I don't even remember where I saw the link or whether someone pointed me to it, but a few months ago I found a website I am absolutely in love with. It's called Wanelo, and the concept is for people to post unique products in a simple layout and refer back to the original website. It's brilliant, because instead of visiting 10 different websites to find original things, you visit one. You can also build a profile and make your own sub categories (Kitchen items, Dresses, Harry Potter things *I may or may not have this sub category) and directs back to Etsy a lot. I like Etsy but find it extremely overwhelming, so this is the perfect alternative for me.
Here are a few of my favorite products, found on wanelo.

Conor Oberst Working on Solo LP, Wrote Screenplay Starring Monsters of Folk, Hates the Internet
By Lindsay Zoladz on January 31, 2014 at 3:15 p.m. EST
Bright Eyes maestro Conor Oberst is finishing work on a new "country-flavored solo album," according to a new interview with Rolling Stone. He's recording it in Nashville with Jonathan Wilson, who's also produced for Father John Misty, and First Aid Kit contribute vocals. The last album of new material Oberst released was the 2011 Bright Eyes album The People's Key.
M. Ward Going Solo Once Again
By Tom Breihan on May 3, 2011 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
Photo by Autumn de Wilde
For the past couple of years, M. Ward has been focusing on all-star group projects Monsters of Folk and She & Him. But now HitFix reports that he's getting set to return to life as a solo artist. Ward is currently working on his next solo album, the follow-up to 2009's Hold Time. And in the months ahead, he'll play a series of bare-bones solo dates-- just him and a guitar.
Video: The Roots and Monsters of Folk: "Dear God 2.0"
By Tom Breihan on June 21, 2010 at 5:05 p.m. EDT
In director Jason Goldwatch's video for "Dear God 2.0", the Roots' version of the Monsters of Folk track "Dear God", lead MC Black Thought plays a cabdriver who experiences a whole ton of societal ills from the front seat of his car. Monsters of Folk/My Morning Jacket singer Jim James (or, if you insist, Yim Yames) guests as a sleepy passenger. It's a somber, gorgeously shot affair, and you can watch it below, via Vulture.
On Friday night, James and the Roots teamed up with a full string section and a harpist to perform the song on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", the show where the Roots are the house band. You can also watch that below.
Listen: The Roots and Monsters of Folk Revamp "Dear God" as "Dear God 2.0"
By Ryan Dombal on May 24, 2010 at 10:40 a.m. EDT

The Roots: Dear God 2.0 (ft. Jim James)
"Dear God" was a slow-burning highlight from the self-titled 2009 LP from Monsters of Folk (aka Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst, My Morning Jacket's Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis). "Dear God 2.0" is a slow-burning remake of the track by the Roots that will be included on their forthcoming LP, How I Got Over. James' lofty vocals are consistent but the beat is overhauled and a couple characteristically wary verses from Roots rapper Black Thought are added. According to a press release, Oberst, Mogis, and Ward also contributed to the revamp.
How I Got Over-- which features guest shots from Joanna Newsom, members of Dirty Projectors, John Legend, and others-- is out June 22 on Def Jam.
Joanna Newsom on New Roots Album

Roots drummer ?uestlove hinted his band was working on a "Joanna Newsom Jawn" on Twitter last night, and Entertainment Weekly has confirmed the indie harpist will indeed show up on the forthcoming Roots album, How I Got Over, tentatively due out in June on Def Jam. UPDATE: ?uestlove has posted a video of himself working on the song featuring Newsom. It sounds like it samples "The Book of Right-On".
Monsters of Folk Video: "Dear God"
By Tom Breihan on March 31, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EDT
None of the Monsters of Folk (Conor Oberst, Jim James, M. Ward, Mike Mogis) actually appear in director Lauri Faggioni's video for their silken philosophy jam "Dear God". Instead, the entire clip consists of a long, leisurely zoom-in, from animated versions of space to animated versions of the atoms in some dude's cells. An educational film with this exact same concept just about blew my mind when I was nine.

Monsters of Folk Not Making New LP
By Ryan Dombal, on January 8, 2010 at 1:50 p.m. EST
Photo by Jennifer Tzar
Despite various reports, supergroup Monsters of Folk are not currently working on a follow-up to their self-titled debut, which came out in September. The source for this story was a pretty obviously fake Conor Oberst Twitter account, which was definitely fake according to the band's publicist. And has since been removed.
But in related (and refreshingly real) news, M. Ward's second album with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him is out March 23 on Merge, and Jim James just started his own record label.
Video: Monsters of Folk: "Say Please"
By Tom Breihan on November 13, 2009 at 11:15 a.m. EST
There seems to be some sort of time-warp effect at work in the video for Monsters of Folk's chunky midtempo rocker "Say Please". Director Lance Acord's clip opens with Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis walking around in what appear to be rumpled WWII-vintage Army uniforms. They come upon a cowboy frontier town, where Conor Oberst is playing guitar. And when the band links up to play, everyone starts roller-skating. Seriously. I was half-expecting a spaceship to land on the town as the video ended.
Check it out below:
Monsters of Folk, Devendra Albums Available in T-Shirt Form
By Tom Breihan on November 9, 2009 at 1:40 p.m. EST
Back in June, we told you about the Music Tee, a new project from the music/fashion company Invisible DJ and the PR company Girlie Action. The Music Tee is a T-shirt with album-related art on the front, the album's tracklist on the back, and a hang tag with a download code on it, good for the whole album. The first album available in the Music Tee format was Mos Def's BNM'ed The Ecstatic. And in the coming months, there will be a whole lot more albums available in Music Tee form, including high-profile releases from the likes of Monsters of Folk and Devendra Banhart.
Watch Monsters of Folk With the Roots
By Tom Breihan on November 5, 2009 at 1:15 p.m. EST
You wouldn't think that a band as stacked with indie A-listers as Monsters of Folk would need any added starpower. But when the supergroup of Conor Oberst, Jim Jim James, M. Ward, and Mike Mogis stopped by "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" last night, they got some help anyway. Fallon's incredible house band the Roots sat in on their searching ballad "Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)".
Despite all the muscle at their disposal, the Monsters/Roots combo didn't do anything to seriously alter the song. Instead, the Roots delicately fleshed out the arrangement, giving it the same lightly funky sweep it has on record. Seriously, you've never seen such restrained use of Tuba Gooding, Jr.
Check out the video below, via Prefix.

text: The Clean Break crew finds their first challenge in the form of one of the most revered surf spots in the world, Hawaii's North Shore. The guys must put their fears aside and become one with the ocean to truly experience what Hawaii has to offer. The deal is this: these buys are world class athletes here in Hawaii to go hard, go deep and get a clean break. We can all learn from pushing our limits; what better way than through surfing. Bear Woznick, Author of 'Deep in the Wave' (out in July) acts as spiritual advisor and friend. Check the Video.
