Sweater: Topshop via TJ Maxx (similar) | Denim: American Rag | Boots: Talbots (c/o Vogue, similar here) | Bag: Vintage Dooney & Bourke (modern version) | Necklace: Forever 21 (super similar) | Rings: H&M (similar)
Imagine my surprise when I walked into TJ Maxx the other day and found this Topshop sweater on super clearance! The texture of it is so cool and so different from everything else in my closet, and because the nearest Topshop is in Chicago, I had to scoop up the sweater. It's lightweight enough that it'll work well into the warmer spring months, even when paired with shorts and wedges. I can't believe I just mentioned shorts and wedges before January is over … but we've had cold weather and no snow here in Omaha almost all winter. I'm ready for snow, Mother Nature — otherwise I'll get ahead of myself and start to wish for spring!
Blouse: Gap | Skirt: Talbots | Wedges: Relativity | Bag: Brahmin (c/o Vogue | Necklace/Bracelets: Forever 21
Forever 21 is my sweet spot for jewelry. I can go in to any given Forever 21 and come out with some amazing accessories. The great part is that they're inexpensive, but if you treat them right, they can last a long time.
This skirt is one of those I couldn't exactly justify purchasing (even though I got it at Goodwill) because it just didn't seem to be something I'd want to wear. The jury's still out on the skirt, but I will admit I love the slightly more casual feel the denim of the blouse brings to the silk of the skirt.
Blazer: Talbots via Goodwill | Blouse: Kohl's | Denim: Paige via TJ Maxx | Heels: Prabal Gurung for Target | Bag: Brahmin (c/o Vogue)
This past Monday, I woke up and thought, How is it Monday already? The past few weeks and weekends have just flown by. However, this week seemed especially long and slightly stressful, so I'm ready for the weekend. We're forecasted to have some beautiful weather, and as much as I love this slightly edgy outfit with a pop of color, I am ready to wear shorts, skirts and dresses galore!
Blazer: Goodwill | Chambray Blouse: Banana Republic via Goodwill | Sweater: Talbots via gift | Denim: Dear | Boots: Lauren Conrad via Kohl's | Bag: J.Crew via gift | Sunnies: H&M | Necklace: Gift
It feels like spring has finally come for good here in Omaha, and although these pics were taken when it was still quite chilly outside, I can easily see wearing this now in the warmer weather with boyfriend jeans and flats. Layers are key during these transitional months between winter and summer, and I wanted to go with something softer — hence the white jacket, brown sweater and chambray blouse.
Jacket: LOFT | Faux Fur Stole: H&M | Sweater: Talbots via Goodwill | Denim: American Rag via Goodwill | Boots: Talbots (c/o Vogue) | Bag: Vintage Coach via Garage sale
This faux fur stole was one of the best purchases I've made, especially for $7. I'm always amazed at how it manages to transform something ordinary (like this cargo jacket I wear every week, it seems) into something a slightly more special.
I don't know about you, but I am ready for some sunnier days!

Great stuff! Thanks for this. I hate MONSANTO! It's sad how they don't care, and it makes me wonder: what food do you eat?
You are very welcome. And thank you for your support—this effort only works because you guys are on board!
As for your question, everyone here is very spoiled because we all eat homemade food each and every day—delicious homemade soups, sauces, entrees, even snacks. Everything is made with fresh ingredients (avoiding packaged or processed wherever possible), flavored to taste, and where necessary (to avoid synthetic or industrialized chemicals), organic. Several people here also grow their own herbs and spices (you can do it even in tiny spaces!) and a few also grow their own vegetables and fruits and share them.
For readers interested in making the switch to a chemical-free diet and lifestyle we have some tip sheets on our blog that are based on our founder's seminars, workshops and private consultations to help people go chemical-free. Here are some:
How to Go Chemical-Free—Easy Steps!

Bridge Bites: Morton's Fork
Date: August 8, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
We continue our look at some of bridge's exotic coups, and this week it is the Morton's Fork, a play that offers an opponent a choice of evils. Here, the Fork allows Declarer to bring home the 6♥ contract.
West leads a trump. As Declarer, what is your plan? Of course, if the Club finesse works, then 12 tricks will be easy. Alternatively, it would be just grand if Dummy's long Diamond could be set up with a couple of ruffs, then the Club finesse would not be necessary. Alas, there are not enough Dummy entries for that. Or maybe there are! Yes, here is your chance to skewer the defense on a Morton's Fork, offering two losing options.
After drawing trumps, you cross to the A♦ and ruff a Diamond. Now you lead the K♠, and West will be impaled on one of these prongs:
First prong: If West wins the K♠ with his Ace, he manages to score his Spade, but not without cost. Now Dummy has an extra entry (in Spades) and you have the timing to ruff out the Diamonds. You no longer need the Club finesse; you have your 12 tricks via a Spade, 6 Hearts, 3 Diamonds and 2 Clubs.
Second prong: If West ducks the K♠, then you cross to the K♣, cash Dummy's K♦ (pitching your remaining Spade), give up a Club, and romp home with 12 tricks. In this variation, the defense never scores a Spade trick.
This hand required perfect timing! It was necessary to cash just one high Diamond and then ruff a Diamond before playing on Spades. If you had neglected to do that, then you had no chance of getting the long Diamond established. And, it would have been fatal to cash both Diamonds before playing on Spades — that would have rendered the fork's second prong inoperable. A very pretty deal!

Soybeans: Soybean Cyst Nematode (Heterodera glycines)
Pub 812: Field Crop Protection Guide > Pub 812: Soybeans > Soybean Cyst Nematode
Field Crop Protection Guide 2011-2012, Order 2011-2012 publication
Table of Contents
Integrated Pest Management Options
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is often confused with other common problems such as nutrient deficiencies, herbicide injury, soil compaction, drought, flooding or root rots. By the time above-ground symptoms from SCN feeding become noticeable, most fields have lost 25%-30% yield potential to the nematode. Early detection through scouting and soil testing is critical. If you suspect SCN, plants should be carefully dug (not pulled) and soil gently removed from the roots. Cysts are white to yellow and about the size of a pinhead. Rotating non-host crops such as corn, wheat, alfalfa or vegetable crops such as tomatoes, with resistant varieties, will lower SCN populations and improve yields on SCN-infested fields. In addition, rotation of SCN-resistant varieties is recommended to reduce shifts in the nematode population.

Patrick "Deep Dish" Bertoletti -- who currently holds the world record for downing nearly 17 corned beef sandwiches in 10 minutes -- went down in Hanukkah history on Friday ... guzzling two full bottles of Manischewitz in less than a minute.
The competitive eater pulled the stunt in celebration of the Festival of Lights -- despite not even being Jewish. Now that's a mensch.
How is this news?
Don't know the alcohol content of this wine but haven't people died from chugging a fifth of Vodka or Jack Daniels?
Ewwwwwwww!!!!!! I'm guessing he tossed some of those corned beef sammies when he was done...Blahhhhh!:O
BFD man's a ***** when it comes to drinking. 2 fifths of sugarry syrup. least he could have done is drink 2 bottles of MAD DOG
What the heck is the nude Cosmopolitan pic of Burt Reynolds doing on the wall in the background?
Sometimes I'm proud to be a human, other times not as much. This story made me less proud.
Maneshevitz is used on Passover at a seder not Hanukkah ... wrong Holiday
People die of alcohol poisoning when they down a huge amount in a very short time before their body can process it. This story is irresponsible.
GOOD JOB TMZ, glorify binge drinking---then write condescending "stories" when the person is in the throws of the repercussions of addiction. Stupid A-holes.
wrong holiday that Wine is used on Passover
This was a totally fake stunt. First, the bottles were covered, a sure sign that something odd is going on. Second, look closely at the second bottle being consumed. Toward the end the "wine" bubbles but wine doesn't bubble like that, or that color. But Welch's grape juice does. And third, one bottle is already open when handed off, while the guy opening the second bottle does his best to emulate a "screw-top" being opened. No sound of the top "tearing" open.
Bogus, in my opinion. But a cute trick regardless.... if you're in the sixth grade.
Eh. I did a bottle of Boone's Farm - Strawberry Hill I think - in under 24 seconds. And that was with a short break.
Of course that was nearly 30 years ago.
Whats up with the naked Burt Reynolds poster in the background? Is this guy gay?
Gay men all over the world are in awh of that.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - In the wake of Hurricane Katrina many families moved from New Orleans to start a new life here in Jackson.
In the Spring of 2006, Habitat for Humanity partnered with Oprah Winfrey and NBA star Kevin Garnett to build ten fully furnished homes in midtown for those who lost everything in the storm.
Run down Elm Street was transformed in one week to beautifully landscaped Kevin Garnett court. Sunday families are reflecting on their five year journey since Katrina and the gift of a new place to call home.
"That was truly a blessing we couldn't ask for nothing than what happened after Katrina because we was down with nothing."
"Not knowing this would be my house I'm very proud to say I am so happy that we are here."
The young family have invited their neighbors over for a party to celebrate their survival and lives post Hurricane Katrina.

She transformed herself into a completely new player. You could tell how unbreakable the new Vika was just from her comments after every Serena loss. She remained positive, upbeat, and full of confidence and sure of herself that her time would come. And that patience and perseverance paid off today. She believes she's going to win every time she steps onto the court.
All that being said, I still can't stand her.

these are not bad, however the method of scraping them is a bit time consuming, hard on the hands & messy as potato splatters everywhere!
I'd consider slicing next time, about half way through the potato. They were received pretty well though!

Posts about Homelessness
The story of 8-year-old Relisha Rudd's disappearance has inspired a group of young students to create an interactive map showing where homeless students in DC go to school.
Topic of the week: Giving
The holiday season as well as the end of they year will soon be upon us and that gets lots of people thinking about giving to worthy organizations. We asked our contributors for their favorite organizations that they are donating to this year. Can you add your support?
David Alpert: The Coalition for Smarter Growth does the hard work, day in and day out, of advocating for the issues most of us support here at Greater Greater Washington. They mobilized a lot of people (including many of you) to show up in person to testify for the zoning update in DC, Bus Rapid Transit in Montgomery County, and better land use and transportation plans in Prince George's and Northern Virginia.
Online, we talk about these issues and help educate many people about what's going on in their communities, but success also requires on-the-ground organizing. Please support CSG's great work.
We also talk about bicycling a lot here on Greater Greater Washington, and no organization is doing more to push for safer streets, better bike infrastructure, trails, CaBi, bike racks, driver and cyclist education, and so much more than the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA). They made a list of amazing projects that they'd like to do, and would help bicycling in DC, but can't do without money. Why not help pay for a "traffic garden" where kids can learn to ride safely, or a fellow to compile and analyze crash statistics? Donate to them here.
Ben Ross: The Action Committee for Transit is Montgomery County's grass-roots advocate for better transit and better communities. Please join us (or renew early for next year) and support our activism by choosing whatever dues level you can afford between $10 and $100.
Canaan Merchant: Two organizations that I've volunteered for and have grown to admire are Food and Friends and DC Central Kitchen. Food and Friends delivers meals to people with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other illnesses. DC Central Kitchen provides meals for the homeless and is a culinary training program for them and others as well. Both the sick and the homeless are too often invisible parts of our urban landscape and these organizations have earned a lot of recognition for their ability to provide. I'd encourage anyone looking for ways to give locally to consider these two organizations.
Aimee Custis: Two organizations on my giving list this year are Smart Growth America and Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling. Smart Growth America advocates on the national level for people who want to live and work in great neighborhoods, but their office is here in DC, and their staff are an active part of our region's smart growth community. There are so many great local bike advocacy groups, but Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling is one of my favorites. A volunteer-run local affiliate of WABA, they're on the front lines of advancing cycling in Fairfax County, which certainly isn't easy.
Dan Reed: IMPACT Silver Spring is a great organization that embodies the adage "Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." They ensure the long-term health of immigrant, minority, and low-income communities in Montgomery County through organizing, community engagement, and leadership training, empowering people to advocate for themselves both economically and politically. Montgomery Housing Partnership not only builds affordable housing, they help their residents build better lives and neighborhoods through job training and community-building events.
Both groups make Silver Spring and Montgomery County better places to live, and their staffs are some of the most talented, hardworking people I know. I've had the pleasure of working with both of them over the past year on the Flower Theatre Project, and they definitely deserve your support.
Michael Perkins: Bread for the City provides a wide variety of services - not just food and clothing, but also legal advice, dental care, and medical care. They get a regular donation from me. Also, Arlington Streetcar Now!, which is an advocacy organization that's organizing support to continue the plan to build a streetcar in Arlington.
Malcolm Kenton: Although I may not be working for them for much longer, I will add my endorsement for giving to the National Association of Railroad Passengers if you support an expanded and improved national passenger train network plus enhanced transit and commuter rail and multi-modal connectivity. I also give to two local water quality & conservation organizations: Rock Creek Conservancy and the Anacostia Watershed Society.
Elizabeth Falcon: The Diverse City Fund is a project to locally source money to fund grassroots projects in DC. All of the board members who determine grants are longtime DC organizers and activists, and the money goes to small projects that many larger foundations won't fund.
Jim Titus: And don't forget your local house of worship, which probably looks out for people in your neighborhood who have fallen on hard times and may well operate a food pantry.
Jacques Arsenault: A couple of other great organizations that touch on homeless and housing work are the Arlington Street People's Assistance Network (A-SPAN) and Central Union Mission, who just moved from 14th Street NW to near Union Station. And two organizations that provide critical services for under served or disconnected youth in the community are the Latin American Youth Center and DC Lawyers for Youth.
Veronica O. Davis: Food & Friends prepares and delivers healthy meals to terminally ill residents in the region.
Jaime Fearer: I serve on the board of Fihankra Akoma Ntoaso, or FAN, a local nonprofit organization based in Anacostia that serves foster youth throughout the District. More specifically, FAN aims to support teens in foster care by filling the gaps in their social, emotional, and educational lives as they face aging out of the foster care system. Please watch our 7-minute video and join me in building a bridge for some of our most vulnerable youth.
Geoffrey Hatchard: I'll be one to add an ask for Casey Trees. Casey's mission is simple: to restore, enhance, and protect the tree canopy of the nation's capital. I've been volunteering for Casey Trees for 9 years now, and I've found every minute of it to be fulfilling and worthwhile. They've expanded their reach recently to include plantings in Prince George's County, Montgomery County, and Arlington County. With more funds, they'll be able to invest in more staff to help plan and lead more projects in the future.
Fire deaths in abandominium raise call for action
Two people died in a fire last week in a vacant low-rise apartment building in Fairlawn. Meanwhile, Mayor Gray pledged $100 million towards new affordable housing. The two together present a clarion call for solutions to the housing problems east of the Anacostia River.
Community activist William Alston-El outside of the former Parkway Guest House, 1262 Talbert Street SE. Photos by the author.
"Marion Barry told Gray the only way he's going to get re-elected, if the Feds don't get him first, is if he plays that affordable housing game," said community activist William Alston-El. "But it ain't a game, it's a matter of life and death. His pledge is too late for them two. [Mayor Gray] needs to come out to the neighborhood and see how people on the lower level are living."
Over the past year, Alston-El and I have toured the Anacocostia neighborhood's extensive portfolio of abandominiums. As dangerous as guns, HIV/AIDS, alcohol, and drugs, the accessibility of vacant properties is a public health concern.
What happened at 1704 R Street SE?
Anacostia High School just down the way, a group of women sit with a child on the front stoop of 1706 R Street SE, next door to the boarded-up middle row building, 1704 R Street SE, where a two-alarm fire took the lives of 2 squatters days before. Yellow tape surrounds the scene. Police cruisers idle across the street as we walk by acknowledging their presence.
The smell of smoke and burnt wood is still thick in the air. "It smells like death out here," Alston-El says before explaining his connection to one of the deceased; he boxed with her brother while imprisoned in Lorton. "There aren't too many Toogoods around." We walk around to the alley to investigate.
A large sandy colored cat bounds over a backyard fence and suddenly stops, plopping down in the charred remnants in the rear of 1704 R Street SE. "Get away from here," yells an onsite fire restoration specialist as the feline scurries away. He approaches us and asks our credentials, "We're reporters looking for the truth," Alston-El offers.
At that the man who says he's been "standing next to dead bodies for 10 hours," begins to tell us the circumstances he knows.
"All indications are that the four-apartment building had been modified by the people who had been living here without permission," he says. "The bottom right dwelling, how you got into it, before the fire, was you opened the door but someone took a piece of plywood and sheeted that off from the inside probably for their own protection against someone injuring them while they were sleeping. That became the cause of death.
"When the fire started in this room here, in the back right, and I mean right because everything in construction is discussed facing the front of the building, so when it started in the back right and really started to spread it's really very difficult for the human mind to run through 1,400 degrees."
I ask if the cause of fire is known. "No, that's under investigation. So they didn't have a way out and were overcome by smoke. Passed out. There was no skin injury when we found them they just suffocated from lack of oxygen. The entire inside of the building is 100% unstable. My job is to structurally support the building so they can do an investigation to answer the question you just asked which is, 'How did it start?'"
Reports from the DC Fire Department corroborate the restorationist's details. "After the heavy volume of fire was knocked down, units re-entered the building, where they located two civilian fatalities. Two firefighters were hurt in the early stages of the firefight and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries."
According to Alston-El, Toogood was an alcoholic with a bad leg and had been living in the abandominium for three years. "No wonder she didn't make it out. Somebody was firing up their drugs, something went wrong and they dipped out leaving that fire behind."
Police have been canvassing the neighborhood seeking information and any eyewitness accounts of a third party fleeing the blaze.
With a housing crisis, buildings should not remain vacant
Mayor Gray made it a priority in his State of the District address to provide more affordable housing. One place to start is to push for action on existing abandoned buildings the city already owns, or where bureaucratic hurdles are blocking owners' progress.
Take the sprawling Bruxton abandominiums at 1700-1720 W Street SE, still owned by the "DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SUITE 317" according to tax records. A sign from the Department of Housing and Community Development announces "No Trespassing or Dumping."
In separate colors someone from the neighborhood has spray painted "FUCK" "CRuddy" just beneath the sign. The winter has slowed the ivy's growth which has begun to cover the banner advertising "spacious" 2 bedroom / 2 bath homes "coming soon."
The District has given affordable housing developer Manna the rights to redevelop the Bruxton, but it remains boarded-up and vacant to this day. A Manna staff member commented in March of last year:
SE Manna, Inc. is committed to making this property part of a vibrant Anacostia community. Manna was awarded the property in 2009 through the District's PADD program and began developing the property as the Buxton Condominium. Along the way, Manna has invested over $300,000 in pre-development costs and has encountered several "speed bumps" those in the affordable housing field would be very familiar with, including:City needs help reporting abandominiums
Manna is currently in compliance with all terms required by DHCD and its private lender, including 9 units pre-sold. The Buxton is awaiting DHCD approval to move forward and we are eager to begin this project, and continue to market the available units to qualified buyers.
- Permitting issues dues to lack of water availability;
- The District's Department of Housing and Community Development terminated our contract on the building, though we were in compliance with all terms. This decision was reversed through the intervention of Mayor Gray, Deputy Mayor Hoskins and DHCD Dir. John Hall;
- The units were originally priced from $170,000-$205,000. Manna soon realized that the market in this neighborhood could not bear that price, applied and received funding through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program to reduce prices to $95,000-$140,000.
Although the city owns its share of abandominiums or has initiated the long and involved litigious process of getting vacant or blighted properties back into productive use, the greatest number of abandominiums are held by tax delinquents, absentee owners, or dissolved companies.
"Because these vacant properties are privately owned, we are bound by very tight statute on what we can reasonably do," said head of the DC Office of Consumer and Regulatory Afair's Vacant Building Enforcement Division, Reuben Pemberton, respected in Anacostia for his responsiveness and attendance at civic meetings.
Pemberton works with 4 investigators. In order to classify a property as vacant or blighted it has to have two inspections.
"We have a lot of eyes out there in the neighborhood. People can send us an email at email@example.com or call 202-442-4332 to report a property," Pemberton said. DCRA's Vacant Building Enforcement division performed more than 4,200 inspections in fiscal year 2012 and is on schedule to do more than 5,000 this year.
MLK Library can help itself by helping the homeless
The days of metal detectors and risky bathrooms seem a thing of the past at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library, but one thing has not changed. The library remains a destination for the homeless and lost souls of Washington.
In a city brimming with specialized research libraries, university libraries, and governmental libraries, the DC Public library is the people's library. 24 branches, many newly built or renovated, serve residents in neighborhoods throughout the city's quadrants, while the flagship MLK Library serves the whole.
With the Board of Library Trustees meeting on Wednesday to discuss the future of the MLK Library, now is the time to also think broadly about the building's immediate needs. One key issue is that the library must acknowledge and reach out to its most loyal but underserved patrons: the homeless.
Library has little recourse against problem patrons
"There was some man outside of the children's section talking loudly about killing children," an unsettled mother with a young child in tow told a library police officer one Sunday earlier this year, as she hastened to make her exit. "There he is," she said, pointing out a diminutive bearded and disheveled man simultaneously making his way out of the building.
While the woman and her child exited the library, the officer quickly stopped and questioned the man. As with incidents of lewd sexual acts, drunkenness, drug use, threats against staff and even occurrences of patrons destroying and defacing books, the library police have but two options: 1) call the Metropolitan Police Department and 2) issue a subsequent ban on that patron from re-entering the library for a certain period of time.
A staff member who spoke on the condition of anonymity said, looking out over a room with no less than a half dozen patrons sleeping, "There is literally nothing we can do. Don't get me wrong, we have people who have been coming here for years. They read, don't bother anyone. Some copy passages out of books. They might use the bathroom to clean up and that's it. Every day is the same. But then we have some people who really need help. This is not where they should be."
Other cities have social workers to help the homeless
DC is not unlike other cities whose downtown libraries serve homeless populations, but unlike other cities, the DC Public Library does nearly nothing to address the constant concerns of staff and patrons. According to administrative sources, the DC Library has a roving case manager on staff but he or she is rarely, if ever, seen at MLK, where there's a large homeless concentration.
The DC Library administration could follow the lead of the San Francisco Public Library system, which has "turned the page" on dealing with the homeless who patronize their main library. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, in late January 2009 the San Francisco system became the first in the country to address its longstanding problems (no different than what goes on at MLK) with homeless patrons by bringing on a full-time psychiatric social worker.
Through an inter-governmental partnership with the San Francisco Department of Public Health, the library hired the social worker to be "on hand five days a week handling complaints from staff and patrons about people's behavior, and calling in security only if things get really ugly."
Along with helping homeless patrons to find other services in the city, including housing and food assistance, job training, substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, and literacy tutoring, library workers received training in responding to unpleasant behavior.
Not stopping there, the San Francisco system instituted a 12-week "vocational rehabilitation" program for the library's homeless and formerly homeless population. Upon completion, graduates are hired to work in the system. The DC Library already has a similar program in place, Teens of Distinction, which trains city youth to work in low-level administrative support positions, often the teenagers' first job experience.Community Action Agency is already well aware of MLK Library's homeless population and their needs. Through a partnership with other city agencies case management and direct services could begin to be tracked and better delivered.
Without an organized city effort local universities, non-profits and church groups regularly perform service outreach projects at the library. For example, on many evenings hot meals and backpacks stuffed with personal hygiene products and new socks are distributed at the corner of 9th & G Street underneath the shelter of the library's Mies Van Der Rohe designed arcade.
While the American Library Association has released information on how to serve homeless patrons, the DC library administration appears uninterested. By not addressing this need, the current library administration enables a culture of dependency among its homeless instead of a culture of self-improvement, and turns away other potential patrons who are intimidated by the homeless presence.

In March 2011, the US Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of Golan v. Holder. The case is a challenge to the Uruguay Round Agreement Act, legislation passed in 1994, which restored copyright protection to many foreign works that had risen into the public domain in the United States but continued to be protected in their home jurisdiction. The Act was passed to bring the United States into compliance with international treaty obligations under the TRIPS agreement, which requires signatories to offer reciprocal protection of co-signatories' works.
The challengers argue that the Act is unconstitutional, saying that restoring copyright to works that had been in the public domain violates the First Amendment as well as the copyright clause of Article I, which gives Congress the power to protect creative works "for limited times." The case raises a similar question to Eldred v. Ashcroft, in which the court rejected a challenge to copyright term extensions. The appeals court previously rejected the constitutional arguments, so the Supreme Court's willingness to hear the case suggests that at least some Justices thought these arguments deserve another day in court. As Kevin Smith of Duke University has observed, the Golan case may involve a sufficiently dramatic interference with the "traditional contours of copyright," that the Supreme Court may reach a different conclusion.
the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of the US Government in Golan v. Holder, a case that challenged the constitutionality of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. The Act restored copyright protection for foreign works that had previously been in the public domain in the US because the copyright owners had failed to comply with formalities such as notice, or because the US did not have copyright treaties in place with the country at the time the work was created (e.g., the Soviet Union). The US Supreme Court made clear that constitutional challenges against a copyright statute will not succeed so long as the provision does not have an unlimited term, and does not tread on the idea/expression dichotomy or the fair use doctrine. In June 2011, ALA, ARL, and ACRL joined an amicus brief written by the Electronic Frontier Foundation in support of reversal.
On Jan. 18, 2012, the US Supreme Court held that Section 514 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act does not exceed Congress's authority under the Copyright Clause. They affirmed the judgement of the lower court 6-2.

I just opened my backpack and saw all of the homework

I am so cheesed off at everything right now. I want to go to college and just spend my life writing books and owning a billion cats.
If I had this panda, my life would be better.
When you date someone for a long time, you apparently lose your "spark" and end up never touching each other or exchanging sweet words. Ever.
At first, you may think that the other person is distracted. You try and go about 'business' like usual, but they let you know that affection is no longer okay by snubbing you constantly and making up excuses to alienate you.
After that, you get needy. You try to drop hints or outright wine.
And when that doesn't work, you get weepy and depressed. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? If I show you my boobs, will you just touch my shoulder for a second?
After so long, you learn to stop expecting anything and you adjust to being a "bud". Since romance is no longer an option, you get way too comfortable. You find other hobbies, such as eating. And you start acting like a big idiot because there's really no reason not to. So, you're just a fat, lonely retard who hates everything.
But, shoot,
The most affection I've had in months is fist bumping.

First time you saw a guy cum?
Describe the 1st time you got a guy to cum.What did you think when you saw it spurting?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Hehe. First time I got a guy to cum... Well, I didn't actually see it happening... But either way:Me and my boyfriend were making out in his car before he was gonna take me home. After about half an hour of messing around, he said "I've been... groping you all evening, is there anything of mine that YOU wanna feel?" hinting at his penis. So, well, I did... Through his jocks though... I started feeling around, and it just seemed right to stroke it :P He didn't try to stop me, so I kept going."What are you doing that through? My jocks?" he asked after a litte while."Yep" I said."Because it does NOT feel like it..."Then at some point he said, "That feels GREAT, but if you keep doing that I'm gonna blow my load." So I said "So?" and kept going >:DSoon after, he said "Blown" in an embarassed whimper (it was actually half cute, half hot, the way he said it XD) and I could feel his penis twitching.I thought it was SOOO HOT the way it twitched, and the thought of it made me horny as, LOL.The only time I've seen him come was one time when, while giving him a hand job through his underwear, I decided I was gonna finish him skin-to-skin, but he blew his load just as I was lifting up his underwear and got some on my shirt XDThat was only the third time I'd seen his penis, or ANY penis irl (other than family when I was younger, and walking in on my mum's boyfriend in the shower once) so I pretty much ignored it, half out of nervousness.
What Girls Said 11
It was somewhat of a shock. I was jacking and sucking him when he let loose in my mouth. I swallowed most of it, but some ran out of my mouth around his penis.
FYI Katie, we LOVE when that happens!
I didn't see it happening because the first time I got a guy to come it was while I was giving a blowjob. But I remember the first time I actually did see it I was like ummm, OK that's hot :o)
Well...I didn't really SEE it coming out, lol. But I remember, since it was my first experience at ALL, it definitely wasn't what I expected. I guess any first time, for most people, unless you've seen p*rn, you're not really sure what to expect completely!
I think I was 16 or 17. I'd seen it in p*rn before that, so it didn't shock me or anything.
my first time and only time I was trying o break up with this guy, and he kept trying to kiss me...20 minutes after me yelling and him trying to work things out with his empty kisses, I felt his hard penis on my body (since he held me tight to him)then I felt like sth wet, I pulled back and saw that he came in his pants!and that was the last time I saw him.. that was his last image in my mind since I got so mad and left him like that..(he was a real jerk..)
I was 7 and took a shower with my step brother who was 14. I started playing around you know slapping his ball bag and he got real hard. At first he tried to hide it but I turned him around and grabbed it. I told him that I wanted to check it out and I washed it all with soap. He started moving funny then it shot all over my stomach. I was surprised and I saw it all come out in huge spurts. He told me what it was and I asked him if I could see it again. It went down some but I kept rubbing it and then it got big and happened again. I was amazed and wanted to see it over and over.
My brothers friend asked me to go out into the garage so I did, he was really built and 15 years old, I was 12. He asked me to kick him in the balls, so I did and he fell down and curled up. He got back up and asked me to do it again and again, he started getting real weak from it. It was so much fun to see an older guy fall at my feet. Anyway he asked me to rub them, so I did through his pants but did not know if I was rubbing his balls or not. He said that he would pull his pants down and I wanted him too. So he did and I was surprised to see how big his balls were, and his d*** was huge. He pulled my hand to his ball sack and I felt them, they were so big and very tender. Anyway I played with them a lot and sometimes I squeezed them to see what would happen. It was weird when I squeezed his ball he curled up and had trouble breathing? I asked him if I could squeeze hard and he let me, I felt his balls almost bust, they gave in like they were going to bust open. He asked me to check his balls to see if they still worked? So he showed me how to suck on the end of his penis and rub his d***. He told me that if I got the juice out that his balls were OK. So anyway it only took a few minutes and he pulled it out of my mouth and I watched it shoot straight up into the air and land on his belly. It went about 3 feet in the air and spurted over and over so his balls worked fine. I had no idea how much came out, he explained how it made babies and that was so cool. I wondered how that all worked. The next day we did it again and he asked me if I had a period yet, I said no. So he said that I could put it in me and would not get pregnant, that's cool I said. Anyway I was scared because it was so big, he put just the end of it in me, I was so hot. I did it doggie style and after about 5 minutes I backed up some more to get more in me. He went in and out very slow and was careful with me. I kept backing up until I had 1/2 of it in me, I orgasmed 3 times, he said that I was so tight and I tensed up some more and it made him squirt inside me. It was so cool I begged him to come back every day. The next day I planned to try to get it all in me, I asked him how big it was and he said about 7 or more inches. I backed up into it and got it all in, I knew I had it all because I could feel his balls swing up and hit me when he pushed it in real hard. I wanted to see what would happen if I did a self defense move so I reached back and grabbed a ball and squeezed it as hard as I could real fast. He jerked out of me and curled up and started coughing ? He could not move for over 20 minutes and I asked him if it worked good and he could barely talk. Anyway wow what a cool move. I rubbed his balls gently and he got better then begged me to never do that to him again. His balls worked OK because he put it in and just after a few minutes he shot it out again, I reached back and rubbed his balls and they were so tender
I was fifteen and at the good old drive-in movies with my first true love. I knew all the words but was totally curious and wanted to see it in person! We started maiking out and I let him feel me up. He got hard and I ended up masturbating him (he was really big too!). This was years ago and before computers; I had never seen p*rn and didn't really know what to expect. He didn't want to come because of the mess, but it must have felt so good that he diidn't stop me! Omg! When he finally creamed it went flying everywhere and got on both of us! I thought it was awesome and the most sensual experience I ever had!
i didn't really think anything. it wasn't a surprise or anything
The first time I made a guy cum, I didn't see it happen. The first time I really got a good look was the first time I got up the nerve to have sex in the daytime. My boyfriend pulled out and erupted on my stomach. It was erotic watching it spurt out of him. We did it two more times that day!
Did not think any thing of it
What Guys Said 3
Uh... well when I was little I thought I pissed myself LOL, it was funny. Don't think this helps you at all but yeah...
I lol'd.
The first time I saw myself come I was 13, first time I stroked myself off and was like "whoooooooooooooooooa"
I had a nursing student Girlfriend that was fascinated with body functions. During our "early third base" period, she would give he a HJ and intentionally watch me come close-up. One of those times she caught me just right and I shot straight up about a foot and she laughed like a kid with a new toy.

Police get help with violent vets
Training geared to deal with ex-troops who are ticking bombs
Kevin Johnson
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department is funding an unusual national training program to help police deal with an increasing number of volatile confrontations involving highly trained and often heavily armed combat veterans.
Developers of the pilot program, to be launched at 15 U.S. sites this year, said there is an "urgent need" to de-escalate crises in which even SWAT teams may be facing tactical disadvantages against mentally ill suspects who also happen to be trained in modern warfare.

Oh! The Insanity of This PC, Bow down and Surrender Epidemic
NYC Police May Soon Be Allowed to Describe Suspects Only by Their Clothes
Even unions will sometimes push back against moonbattery when it makes it impossible for police to do their jobs:
Cops might as well wear blindfolds if the City Council passes a bill that would let them use little more than the color of a suspect's clothing in descriptions — or risk being sued for profiling, according to this provocative new ad (pictured) from the NYPD captains union. …
Union President Roy Richter — who is seen in the ad wearing a blindfold in Times Square — told The Post the bill is dangerous because "it will ban cops from identifying a suspect's age, gender, color or disability.
That is, the bark-at-the-moon lunacy of prohibiting "profiling" will be extended to anyone who deviates from normal in any way, making the meaningful description of suspects illegal.
The bill's sponsor, Jumaane Williams (D-Brooklyn), and Speaker Christine Quinn are going to bypass normal committee process and bring the measure directly to a vote.
Particularly pernicious legislation is always rammed through via the express lane nowadays. ObamaCare paved the way.
PBA President Pat Lynch doesn't like the bill, yet continues to pay lip service to the demented ideology that justifies it:
"Racial profiling is already illegal — and should be."
But if you accept any limitations on "profiling," you have already set yourself sliding down a slippery slope to insanity.
Williams and fellow Brooklyn Democrat Brad Lander, a co-sponsor of the proposal, say it would only expand the city's existing racial-profiling law by adding other demographic groups that should be protected, such as the homeless and gay people.
The law will inevitably lead to an avalanche of lawsuits, as anyone stopped by police who belongs to any privileged "victim" caste (i.e., anyone other than non-disabled employed white male heterosexual Christians, who are becoming increasingly rare in the moonbat dystopia of New York City) can cash in on jackpot justice. Maybe kooks like Williams, Lander, Quinn et al. are so nuts they actually believe liberal ideology should trump public safety; or maybe, like the Democrat Party, they are largely bankrolled by trial lawyers.

Upholstery: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make
Why There Is A Need For Upholstery Cleaning
Almost every home and business space have carpet tiles, carpets, rugs and other upholsteries. Expert people are asked to do the upholstery cleaning of your dirty rugs and carpets, rather than having them replaced. In order to give excellent upholstery cleaning service to the customers, it is a must to have good training. You shall need different kinds of materials and tools too. There are also plenty of big manufacturers that can give trainings for free once you decide to buy machines and tools from them, thus, know how to search for things like this.
In upholstery cleaning, the owners usually started the cleaning job first and later on decided to hire some people to make a business out of the entire thing, similar to window cleaning. In order for you to be given guidance as to the best thing to do when starting an upholstery business, put into consideration the three things mentioned before.
For a short period of time, you can let other people benefit from the work by hiring them as employees while you take your time developing the business by knowing all aspects of the service. You might also like to enroll in an upholstery cleaning course so that you will become aware of the many factors affecting the service. The classes will take you about a day or two to complete and finish successfully. You will become familiar with the different kinds of upholstery cleaning, rugs, carpets and many more.
The different cleaning techniques and carpet manufacturing for varied classes of carpets are the following: Fabric cleaning, Carpet fiber identification, Protection, The dry and wet cleaning of upholstery and also leather, Methods of stain removal, Work pricing, Ways to sell, and also Carpet checking.
The most common point is for you to learn the very crucial ideas to run the business and be successful. Cleaning and maintaining hard floors can be a course for you to enroll in if you wish to integrate it to your other service offered to customers. It is really very important that before you run an upholstery cleaning business, you have undergone good training so that you will be guided as you offer excellent services to your valued customers. There is also a need for you to secure a vehicle that can transport your equipments from one place to another since they are heavy and huge.
There is always a heavy competition in the market with regards to upholstery cleaning and carpet cleaning. For you to have an edge against other competitors, do good advertisement of your services or business. Have a business that offers excellent service, worth it cost and be able to advertise the business properly so that you will have the chance to put up another branch and your business will progress too.
Also consider chemicals and equipments too. There is no need for you to purchase all tools said by those selling the equipments because you still have to take things slow at first.
Also, you do not have to purchase large amounts of all chemicals they make. A person who knows about this service world is useful in giving you advices about the necessary chemicals and equipments to purchase first. As time goes by, you will then learn about the service and decide on the best things to have next for your equipments or tools.

Parkluxe 2014 is a chance to see some high-end fashion right here in Calgary.
No matter what the season, the one article of clothing that's always going to be in your closet is going to be a good pair of jeans. That said, every season, jeans get their own makeover and this fall is no different. But whether you're going for a new hue of denim or trying one of the many new finishes that jeans come in, you need to find something that fits your body. That's where CJ by Cookie Johnson Jeans come in.
A missing Calgary couple have been located "safe and sound," according to police. Early Wednesday, Calgary Police asked for the public's help locating the seniors, both in their 70s.
Maggie McKenzie's resume reads like a true fashionista. In her twenties, she co-owned a clothing boutique with her sister, Louise, called Montpellier Designs (their maiden names) in Sudbury, Ont. "We designed every piece of clothing in our store and had it all made locally," says McKenzie.
It used to be that what's known as "Festival Style" was really only worn by those who were actually attending music festivals, but the ubiquitousness of music festivals in all parts of the world has turned this into a seasonal mainstay and it's never been more prevalent than this year. Now, whether you're planning on attending a festival or not (Folk Fest, perhaps), it is appropriate to wear "Boho chic" out and about and to the office.
A Montreal-based manufacturer and retailer of active wear is spreading its wings west opening its first location outside Quebec in Banff on Friday. KSL also has huge expansion plans for the Calgary market.
Looking stylish during Stampede is about so much more than wearing plaid shirts, short shorts, and cowboy boots. This year, Stampede will be even more of a celebration than ever — a revival of sorts since much of the city was still shut down last year after the epic flood that occurred just before the big week. So many of us go straight to Stampede from the office, and it can be a challenge to figure out how to wear clothes that are appropriate for work, but still participate in Stampede style. We figured out how to marry the two — most people have a stampede section in their closet anyway, and it's all about taking those pieces and incorporating them into your wardrobe.
There's nothing better than being first and our beloved city can lay claim to being first on many fronts — not the least of which is Calgary has been chosen as the first city in Canada to welcome iconic retailer Nordstrom. What started as a small Seattle shoe shop has grown into a leading fashion retailer.
Style that marches to the beat of many drummers.
Re: "Make way, moms, for other people on the path," Letter, June 14.
It's the best of times and it's the worst of times — and by that I mean, it's summer. The sunshine and warm weather is what we've all been waiting for and it's finally here for us to enjoy. As much as we can't wait to jump in the water and soak up the outdoors, it also means that many of us will embark on perhaps the most daunting shopping trip of the year: swimsuit shopping.
From a 1770 corset to a 2014 bra-and-panty set in lacy stretch silk, the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology has put the focus on lingerie and ladies foundation garments in a new exhibition.
An overflowing closet can make getting ready in the morning an unpleasant task. But it's not all your fault. The fact is, most closets are simply designed poorly. An organization system can help maximize closet space, but before investing in rods and drawers, take these factors into account:
A flared skirt worn with flair.
Nettle's Tale swimwear flatters a spectrum of body types
Red skirt, red hair: she is no shrinking violet.
Inspiration: The Pink Lady jackets in the original Grease are boxy, matte and flat Pepto-Bismol pink. We prefer the ones in Grease 2, filmed five years later and set two years after the original. They're shiny, candy-pink satin, fitted bombers and piped in black, rocking an eighties retro vibe.
Police are asking the public to help find an elderly man suffering from dementia who has gone missing.
Head over to any upscale retailer today and you'll notice that the trend is clothing that goes easily from the office to the gym. Whether it's flat shoes with rubber soles, or silken pants that have elasticized waist-bands and drawstrings to hold them up, clothing has become comfortable and easy to wear. That's because today's hottest clothing borrows from athletic wear. If you were waiting for it to get even more popular, know that the latest Chanel couture show, largely seen as the arbiter of "cool," featured models walking down the runway in actual white box-fresh sneakers instead of high heels or even ballet flats. Are you on board yet? The trend is largely influenced by street-style, and what designers are calling "every day, practical wear." No doubt, the steady rise of this trend began in 2012 when high-end designer Isabel Marant designed a wedge-sneaker. This shoe, essentially a sneaker (some styles even have Velcro!) embedded a wedge inside, giving women model height while still providing them with a shoe that was comfortable and practical. It looked great with jeans or more dressy pants, and is meant to be worn to the office or on the weekend. It became so popular that it was copied many times over and the style is still being sold at more accessible retailers today.

Rangers Ride Wild Momentum Swing To Third Straight Win
Cris Cohen | Feb 13, 2013 | Comments 0
Forget about Chase and Foxwoods. Tuesday night's New York Rangers-Boston Bruins game should have been presented by Advil and Mylanta. Surely there were a lot of Rangers fans who could have used one or both of those remedies after watching what seemed like a sure win turn into an agita-inducing nailbiter.
The Rangers got off to a strong start. Midway through the first, Rick Nash got by Andrew Ference and, falling down, made a highlight-reel pass that Carl Hagelin put home to give the Rangers a 1-0 lead:
Ironically enough, moments after he made that play, news broke that Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson was fired.
Like Hagelin, Derek Stepan is another one of those secondary scorers that the Rangers need to get going. Stepan would notch his second goal of the year, wristing the puck past Tuukka Rask from the left side to give the Rangers a 2-goal lead at 8:15 of the second period. Rask would give up a third goal early in the third period, this one off the blade of defenseman Anton Stralman.
Buoyed by the offense and goaltending, it looked like the Rangers would coast to victory. Of course they couldn't make it that easy. David Krejci would spoil the shutout at 8:44 of the third period, one second after a hooking penalty on Nash expired. Then came those two goals in the final 91 seconds with Rask pulled. Nathan Horton would bring the Bruins within one, and then Brad Marchand would net the equalizer. Ecstasy on Legends Way became agonizing disbelief in New York living rooms.
It was hard not to think back to April 4th, 2011, when the Bruins built themselves a 3-goal lead on the Rangers before the Blueshirts scored five unanswered (two in the first, three in the third) to complete an unbelievable comeback. This time around, the team that blew the lead still managed to get the W.
A scoreless back-and-forth overtime gave way to a shootout, the first for the Rangers this year. Nash would be the first shooter to break through. Marchand would answer in the third round to keep the Bruins alive. Ryan Callahan would have the eventual game winner, his goal holding up after Krejci failed to put it past Henrik Lundqvist.
Lundqvist had another strong performance, turning aside 37 of 40 shots in the game. He found a way after the two quick goals to collect himself and delivered not only in the extra five minutes, but in the shootout as well.
"It was frustrating, the last couple minutes of the game obviously. I think they key for me was just to focus on what I think going into the shootout. Even though I was frustrated when we were in that position it was still a big point to play for and I had to calm down and focus onthe things that I needed to focus and that was the biggest challenge for me."
It wasn't pretty on many levels. Once again the Rangers went a big 0-fer on their power play chances, including a 5-on-3 chance that began in the closing seconds of the second period and wrapped into the third. They are 29th in league with a 9.1% success rate. Yet again, for the sixth time in twelve games played, they have taken a too many men on the ice penalty. This time Stralman was the culprit.
Despite the late-game collapse, the lifeless power play and another line change brain cramp, coach John Tortorella acknowledged the positives, gave credit to the tenacious opponent and planned on using the game as a learning tool for his team, which slowly, but surely seems to be finding its way.
"Sure we talked about, we finally climbed above the five hundred mark and now we need to start getting better as a hockey team and keep trying to put some wins in here. And it's a good team we played against, it's a tough building to play in, we did some really good things, but we also have a lot of things especially situational play as far as protecting that lead. We were really good at it the other night, we were really good at it for most of the third period, but we died a little bit late. So we'll take the two points, but also teach."
With a quarter of the season now in the books, the Rangers sit in eighth place in the Eastern Conference heading into Wednesday night's games. They'll need to learn those lessons quickly if they want to move up in the standings.

Community Culture Reports on FM 91
Airs Wednesdays during All Things Considered at 5:44 p.m., Sept 17 through Oct 15
In this series of Community Culture Reports on FM 91, WGTE's arts and culture intern Katie Mullin brings us audio portraits of five local nonprofits, which raise awareness of a diverse collection of cultures. From Toledo's Dragon Boat Festival to the Sofia Quintero Art & Cultural Center, we explore how each of these groups is using the traditions of the past to enrich the present by giving back to the community.
Seeking Solutions to Senior Hunger
Senior hunger and food insecurity are big problems nationwide and in our community. In Ohio, five percent of senior citizens are at risk of going hungry. More than 250,000 elderly Ohioans receive emergency food assistance. The risk of hunger is expected to grow 50 percent by 2015, while funding for food banks, senior programs and meal delivery is being slashed.
The effort is comprised of a comprehensive public information campaign through TV, radio, print and the web, three live Town Hall television programs on WGTE TV; and community events.
