I'm so good at #WorldCup #brand #synergy

To start off our World Cup coverage , I thought I'd run through how I think the 2014 World Cup will play out. I am a
respected journalistperson with an internet connection, so the thoughts contained within this piece are only my thoughts and not the result of some sort of well calculated…
I wrote a World Cup preview. it's probably wrong, but it is what it is.

— A question I was actually just asked
In a nice feature piece in the New York Times on United States men's national team coach and technical director Jurgen Klinsmann, there is this bit from Bruce Arena, who occupies a dual role as former USMNT coach and Klinsmann foil for a journalist looking for "balance" in a piece on the current holder of the seat:
Bruce Arena, who coaches the Los Angeles Galaxy, told me recently that instead of trying to get American soccer to mimic European culture, U.S. Soccer officials should simply look inward. Italy's team is coached by an Italian and has a core of players who play in Italy, Arena pointed out. Spain has a Spanish coach and players primarily based in Spain. Germany is led by a German coach and mostly features players on German teams.
"I believe an American should be coaching the national team," says Arena, who led the national team for eight years. "I think the majority of the national team should come out of Major League Soccer. The people that run our governing body think we need to copy what everyone else does, when in reality, our solutions will ultimately come from our culture.
"Come on," he says. "We can't copy what Brazil does or Germany does or England does. When we get it right, it's going to be because the solutions are right here. We have the best sports facilities in the world. Why can't we trust in that?"
Arena is probably uniquely qualified to have this view, as the squad he led to a surprise finish in the quarters in 2002 was probably validation. (The squad he had that flamed out in the group stages four years later, well…) But when we talk about solutions for the American development (or lack of it) in soccer, we need to talk about what the countries who do what Arena says — draw from their own leagues a majority of the time, hire coaches solely from the country's ranks — because Arena is making an apples-to-apples comparison.
(One can argue it's in his interest to agitate for a uniquely American solution — Arena's career path from collegiate coach to US youth team coach to MLS coach to USMNT HC and back to MLS is a testament to and shining example of what the problem is, which I'm about to get into.)
Part of the excitement among the fan base for Jurgen Klinsmann's arrival at the U.S. Soccer Federation was based on this trenchant analysis after Bob Bradley's US team lost to Ghana in the Round of 16 in 2010, where he basically said we're doing it wrong: soccer being a middle-class sport, dominated at youth levels by traveling teams and college teams, set us back before we could even get going.
(Relying on collegiate athletics to refine the pros of the future is a problem for all manner of American professional leagues, save baseball and hockey [the latter obviously being Canadian]. Soccer merely puts it in starker relief.)
It is absurdity on its face to accept Arena's comparison, because the way the American youth pipeline for soccer works puts it far behind countries like Spain, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Argentina & Brazil where professional teams develop players at the youngest ages. Rising stars in world football are talked about making breakthroughs at the ages of 19, 20, 21. At that point, most American players are getting out of college and entering MLS. There are certainly exceptions (Donovan, Altidore, Michael Bradley) American soccer players reach their potential much later and have less time to exploit it to the fullest. It is no coincidence that the most lasting contribution of the USA to world soccer is its goalkeepers — they generally reach their primes later and can keep going well into their late thirties at high levels.
Facilities and sport science only get you so far before you have to look at the pyramid and how you instruct the next generation to play. That wall was dinged by Arena's 2006 team. Bob Bradley's 2010 team managed to avoid it in South Africa for a time because of Donovan's excellence against Algeria and the flub heard around the world by England's Rob Green. But Bradley Sr.'s 2011 Gold Cup squad hit that wall head-on against Mexico, where the physical conditioning of the US team reached its limit against Mexico's more talented and tactically aware team in the final. I still have difficulty believing that game was only a 4-2 defeat. It felt worse than that, and it's probably why Sunil Gulati fired Bradley Sr. afterward.
(This conditioning over technique is coming home to roost with the women's team, too, as the rest of the world caught up with the women bolstered by Title IX into soccer and who won two World Cups on those advantages.)
This is why Jurgen Klinsmann has a contract until 2018 (noting that all contracts aren't always worth the paper they are printed on), because while American soccer is on the rise as a domestic sport, it is broken as far as competing internationally goes. It will remain so until the USSF gets its shit together. That means MLS teams need to develop their own players before the NCAA gets to them and the instruction at those academies needs to be the best it can offer.
Otherwise, we will be recruiting dual-nationals until the end of time because they are the only ones receiving serious instruction at the time one needs it to be remotely world class in the sport, relying on them and the next Landon Donovan or Clint Dempsey to pull us out of trouble instead of creating a pool deep enough where we don't have to rely on one or two stars.
There is no way forward until the USSF upends the entire structure — and it's in part why I'm not terribly concerned about how far the 2014 edition of the USMNT goes this year in Brazil. We still have a lot of catching up to do. Drawing on our unique culture means stagnation.
This is dumb. Germany, Spain, Italy have managers from those countries and players from those leagues, because they are the top leagues in the world. if any player on those three national teams wanted to play on practically any team in the world, they would get the red carpet rolled out for their arrival.
I agree with his statement that the US shouldn't try to play someone else's style and should develop their own style, but the reasoning behind the argument is so off base. The US does have the best sports facilities in the world, but until our A+ caliber athletes choose soccer at a young age, it's going to be a challenge. We can see that happening slowly right now but till then, I see nothing wrong with having a top caliber manager like Klinsmann at the helm. Our last American manager is so good he's in Norway at something called Stabæk, which….
Hell no, this company is a glass free zone.
yes good let's share a bunch of this stuff on the internet so that impressionable youths think that marriage is like a cute, more-twee version of Cato vs. Clouseau.
"Honey, come in here, we need to go over these accounts again. I don't think we're making enough return on the CD to justify not moving some of that into baby jeffery's college account."
They laughed as they played Nerf guns for 5 minutes before the harsh reality set in that Dave would be making dinner yet again. Dave pulled out Guy Fieri's The Funky Finds in Flavortown and asked Carol if she would like the Wham Bam Thank You Ham, or the bolognese egg rolls.
They couldn't decide. They sat there wondering how they were ever going to figure this out, until Dave had an idea. "Tag you're it" Dave shouted, and Carol chased after him with glee. This game of tag continued on for days, until eventually they were both fired from their jobs and their house was foreclosed on.
Thankfully they got to keep their nerf guns, and their sense of whimsy normally reserved for an episode of New Girl.

In Case You Forgot, Plus Size Models Aren't Allowed To Wear Clothes
In Case You Forgot, Plus Size Models Aren't Allowed To Wear Clothes
1 day ago by Ashley Cardiff | 1 comment | Share a Tip
The always lovely (and always half-naked) Candice Huffine has landed the cover of Spain's S Moda. Although we're psyched to see a plus size model on any cover (even with often regrettable headlines about their realness, curves, etc), the accompanying editorial trades in the two plus size model tropes that bore us most: 1) take off her clothes or 2) make it retro-inspired. Or, of course, both.
For example. Leopard print, visible bra, cat's eye makeup:
Or full-on pin-up completely with hat.
She looks great but… how about some new ideas?

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 88 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by Football Mom Fast Delivery! We tried these on in the store but they didn't have any in my son's size. We ordered them on-line. Dick's had the best selection and price that I could find online. The delivery was fast and they are perfect! August 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bendmom2 Has the look of a men's football cleat in cool colors but in youth sizes!! These cleats are a welcome break from the standard black-and-white cleats normally available to boys in youth sizes. Although they have the look of a high-top, the upper portion is more neoprene sock-like, providing some support but without being stiff. No more difficult to lace up than low-top cleats, and lace up nice and snug with minimal effort. My 10-year-old son loves the bright color of both the upper and the laces. Haven't yet worn for football season, but based on our past experience with Under Armour football cleats, I am confident that they'll hold up well. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Jay The cleats were perfect This product was just what we wanted. The salesperson in the store was extremely helpful and friendly. September 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Anonymous GREAT shoe! I purchased these cleats for my 7-year old son. He originally wanted the Under Armour Superman cleats, but they were sold out everywhere. So we settled for these since they are pretty much the same type of cleat. He LOVES them! They are comfortable and he has enough room to grow. According to him, they are very light and he can run faster :-) September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DeeMoney Great cleats These cleats are the difference. My son is faster more agile more powerful.... Well at least that's what he thinks. I think the color matches his teams, the fit is true to size, delivery was fast, easy to clean, keeps his feet fairly dry in wet conditions, good traction. We would definitely recommend this shoe. September 10, 2014

Ultrafast X-ray laser research led by Kansas State University physicists has provided scientists with a snapshot of a fundamental molecular phenomenon. The finding sheds new light on microscopic electron motion in molecules.
Artem Rudenko, assistant professor of physics and a member of the James R. Macdonald Laboratory; Daniel Rolles, currently a junior research group leader at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron in Hamburg, who will be joining the university's physics department in January 2015; and an international group of collaborators studied how an electron moves between atoms in an exploding molecule.
Researchers measured at which distances between the two atoms the electron transfer can occur. Charge transfer processes particularly electron transfer are important for photosynthesis, in solar cells, and drive many other important reactions in physics, chemistry and biology. Their paper and a Perspective commentary on it appear in the journal Science, and K-State has a popular summary.
"There is a very fundamental question about how far an electron can go to reach the nearby atom in a molecule, and how probable that transition is," Rudenko said. "It has been difficult to capture images of this motion because of the very short times and very small distances that need to be measured."

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
Georgia lawmakers are taking heat about the lack of ethical reform statewide — as reflected in the column below by a Sandy Springs resident. He says he feels that legislators work more for special interests than the citizens they're elected to represent.
In response, a longtime lobbyist discusses the benefits and knowledge lobbyists bring to the political arena.
What do you think?
May 11th, 2012
12:17 pm
Our elected representatives are supposed to be answerable ONLY to us. However, when we see legislation passed like bank bailouts (but only for the largest banks) and we see farm subsidies (mostly for the largest interests like ADM) we rightly question how this favorable treatment came to be.
We all know that Wall Street gives enormous sums of money in campaign contributions and the same goes for big agriculture, big pharma, big etc. That campaign money keeps the congressman in office (80% the candidate with the most money wins). The congressman is grateful to the big donor.
We have to take steps to reverse this.

How do you convey your concerns to the lawmakers?
I just walk right up to him and tell him. It's one of the pluses of living in a rural community. We all know our elected representatives personally and they can't hide from us.

The act of a Georgia state legislature accepting money and gifts from lobbyists should be called for what in reality it is: POLITICAL PROSTITUTION.
May 11th, 2012
7:16 am
I have questions for all of the people – before and after me – who are critical of legislators and lobbyists, who make snide remarks about both, who express HORROR that lobbyists actually draft bills, who are convinced that Georgia is run by a bunch of crooks and nincompoops.
Do you know your state Senator and Representative personally?
Have you every met them?
Can you name them?
Do you know any lobbyists?
Have you ever visited the Capitol?
Have you ever attended a forum held by your legislators?
Are you a member of any professional or trade association or other kind of organization that has an interest in public policy issues that are decided by the Legislature? If you are, do you consider your organization's aims to be legitimate? How do you convey your concerns to the lawmakers? In person, one by one? Or do you hire a person to represent you? A lobbyist, maybe?
May 11th, 2012
6:48 am
Sea and Man, you have your head up your a———s. No bid contracts for the Gov. trips for Ralston. But I guess since the are repulicans you hold them to different standards. You are part of the problem in this state.
May 11th, 2012
5:44 am
Lack of ethics laws does not mean lack of ethics! Look at the President's home state,many ethic laws but none observed to be followed!
May 10th, 2012
10:09 pm
The lobbyists do bring benefits and knowledge, hell, sometimes they even write the bills.
May 10th, 2012
8:09 pm
GA ethics – isn't that what they call an oxymoron?
May 10th, 2012
7:23 pm
Ethical reform in GA? So the legislature actually has some ethical guidelines? Could have fooled me! There isn't a thing a lobbyist can bring to the table [except for lots of money- ie bribes] that the average citizen could not speak with their rep about. That also assumes one can get the attention of the elected officials in the legislature [without bringing money to the table].

Hundreds of gun owners are rallying at the Michigan Capitol to remind lawmakers of their right to bear arms.
Some of the people freely and legally carried guns at Wednesday's rally. Others held pro-Second Amendment signs.
Open-carry advocates and other organizers oppose a proposed federal assault-weapons ban, though that provision was pulled by Democrats from gun-control legislation Wednesday. While the Republican-led Legislature is unlikely to pass any gun-control bills, gun rights groups say they want to keep hammering home their opposition in Lansing.
Some Democrats have proposed ending the ability of concealed weapons permit holders to openly carry guns in Michigan schools. It's currently legal to openly carry in gun-free zones but not to conceal a weapon.
The Capitol Facilities director estimates 400 to 500 people participated in the rally.

Kendall Jenner wants to move out
Kendall Jenner has upset her mother Kris Jenner by announcing she wants to move out into a home of her own.
Kendall Jenner wants to move out of her family home.

Looking at properties in Malibu, California with her husband Bruce Jenner, she said on last night's (23.02.14) 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians': ''I'm getting really serious about the house-hunting thing.''
However, her mother moaned: ''I will never be ready for Kendall to leave home. They're dropping like flies.''
Kris grew angry with Bruce - who she split from in October after 22 years of marriage - for supporting their daughter's scheme,
She complained: ''I'm upset because you keep taking Kendall's side and allowing her, like, to move out and she's 18 years old...
''Why are you in such a rush to get her to move out and to move to Malibu?''
Bruce replied: ''It's time for her to take that next step in life.''
However, Kendall intervened between her parents, warning them not to use her decision as an ''excuse to fight''.
She said: ''I am legally an adult and I can do what I want. I don't want you guys to use this as an excuse to fight.''

died July 24, 1862, Kinderhook
eighth president of the United States (183741) and one of the founders of the Democratic Party. He was known as the Little Magician to his friends (and the Sly Fox to his enemies) in recognition of his reputed cunning and skill as a politician. (For a discussion of the history and nature of the presidency, see presidency of the United States of America.)
Van Buren was the son of Abraham Van Buren, a farmer and tavern keeper, and Maria Hoes Van Alen, both of Dutch descent. Apprenticed to the lawyer Francis Silvester in 1796, Van Buren began his own practice in Kinderhook in 1803. In 1807 he married his cousin Hannah Hoes (Hannah Van Buren), with whom he had four children. Van Buren served two terms in the New York Senate (181220) and during his tenure was appointed state attorney general. After his election to the U.S. Senate in 1821, he created the Albany Regency, an informal political organization in New York state that was a prototype of the modern political machine.
Van Buren regarded himself as a disciple of Thomas Jefferson. As a member of the Jeffersonian faction of the Republican Party, he supported the doctrine of states' rights, opposed a strong federal government, and disapproved of federally sponsored internal improvements. After John Quincy Adams was elected president in 1824, Van Buren brought together a diverse coalition of Jeffersonian Republicans, including followers of Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford, and John C. Calhoun, to found a new political party, which was soon named the Democratic Party.
In 1828 Van Buren resigned his Senate seat and successfully ran for governor of New York. However, he gave up the governorship within 12 weeks to become President Andrew Jackson's secretary of state. In this role he was criticized for expanding the system of political patronage, though some later historians considered the criticism unfair. Resigning as secretary of state in 1831 to permit reorganization of the cabinet, he served briefly as minister to Great Britain.
Nominated for the vice presidency in 1832 by the first national convention of the Democratic Party, Van Buren was elected with Jackson on a ticket opposing the continued operation of the Bank of the United States. With Jackson's endorsement, Van Buren was unanimously nominated for president in May 1835. In the election the following year, Van Buren defeated three candidates fielded by the splintered Whig Party, collecting 170 electoral votes to his opponents' 124. (See primary source document: Inaugural Address. See also
.) He took office in 1837, at the onset of a national financial panic brought about in part by the transfer of federal funds from the Bank of the United States to state banks during Jackson's second term (see primary source document: Against Government Aid for Business Losses). In 1840 Van Buren's proposal to move federal funds from state banks to an independent treasury was passed by Congress after a bitter struggle in which many conservative Democrats deserted to the new Whig Party. Van Buren's popularity was further eroded by the long and costly war with the Seminole Indians in Florida (the second of the Seminole Wars) and by his failure to support the proposed annexation of the newly independent state of Texas. In 1839, after a series of armed clashes between Americans and Canadians in disputed territory along the MaineNew Brunswick border (the Aroostook War), Van Buren dispatched General Winfield Scott to restore order, and a permanent settlement was negotiated in the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842. In an effort to win the proslavery vote in the election of 1840, Van Buren sided against African slaves on trial in the United States for their part in the Amistad mutiny in 1839. One of Van Buren's last acts in office was to order that no person should work more than 10 hours a day on federal public works.
Unanimously renominated by the Democrats in 1840, Van Buren was overwhelmingly defeated by the Whig candidate William Henry Harrison. Four years later the Democrats were bitterly divided over the question of the annexation of Texas, and Van Buren, who opposed annexation, was passed over in favour of James K. Polk, who won the election on a platform calling for the annexation of both Texas and Oregon. In 1848 Van Buren ran as a candidate of the Free Soil Party, which included members of the antislavery factions of the Democratic Party (the Barnburners) and the Whig Party, but he received only 10 percent of the vote. He spent several years in Europe and then retired to his estate, Lindenwald, in Kinderhook.

Tampa Bay Lightning
Subscriber Content Read Preview
Jeffrey Vinik's Tampa Bay Lightning are struggling, but that isn't the veteran stock-picker's only worry. Investors have asked to pull around $1.5 billion from his hedge-fund firm after a period of poor performance.
Callahan, the well-liked Ranger captain, had been seeking a six-year deal worth between $36 million and $42 million. He was set to become a free agent after the season.
With Rick Nash back, the Blueshirts overpower the Lightning.
The Rangers will still have to pay Richards $12.7 million in salary over the next 12 years, as well as $8 million in signing bonuses, but none of it will count against the team's salary cap.
Rangers GM Glen Sather was as vague as finger-paint, providing few details about why he believed the team needed a new coach. Here are some likely candidates to replace John Tortorella.
With his team trailing the Boston Bruins three games to none, New York Rangers coach John Tortorella decided to sit Brad Richards, the team's prized 2011 free-agent signee.
The rookie left wing Stefan Matteau played in the Devils' 4-2 win over the Lightning Thursday, brining him one year closer to restricted free agency.
The New York Rangers had a lot more Game 7 experience than the Flyers, with 18 skaters on the roster who had played in a Game 7 before Wednesday; Philadelphia had nine.

A memo arguing that African-Americans should unite behind a single black candidate in the race for mayor of Atlanta is about to become a prime topic of debate.
The material, which we include below, is said to be distributed by Aaron Turpeau, a long-time City Hall figure, on behalf of something called the Black Leadership Forum.
Turpeau argues that Council President Lisa Borders is the only candidate who can prevent the election of Councilwoman Mary Norwood as the first white mayor since Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell.
Both Borders and state Sen. Kasim Reed, also an African-American, have scheduled pressers this afternoon. AJC colleagues Eric Stirgus and Ernie Suggs will be there. We anticipate that Reed will demand that Borders renounce the memo.
Here's the statement Reed's campaign has put out in the last few minutes:
"Not only do I find these comments racially charged and vitriolic, I completely repudiate them because they are fundamentally wrong and do not belong in today's

Riverton • After three at-bats, Caylie Phelts was frustrated. Two strikeouts and a flyout will do that to anyone.
But in the top of the seventh, as Roy was down 4-1 with the bases loaded, Phelts dug in despite a challenging day at the plate and lived up to the moment.
"I just had to shake it off and keep my head in the game," she said. "I just tried not to psych myself out and stay calm."
The senior catcher's three-run triple was just what the Royals needed to rally back for a 5-4 win against Riverton on the road in a blustery contest. Phelts' timely hit tied the game, and she went on to score the winning run to give Roy its second such example of seventh-inning heroics in as many games.
The win over the 5A power Silverwolves gave the Royals, the defending 5A champs who have moved down to 4A, some momentum. They'll take it — even if it drives their coach a bit batty.
"Sometimes I think they're trying to make it as stressful as possible," coach Mandy Koford said. "But if it proves one thing, it's that we're fighters. We'll play to the end."
Brandi Hall pitched a mostly brilliant game for the Silverwolves, recording seven strikeouts and only allowing one run in six innings of work.
As rain began to fall late in the game, Hall lost some control and was switched out for Courtney Platt by the seventh. But the reliever inherited two baserunners and couldn't make the best of the situation, hitting Payton Palmer to load up the bags for Phelts.
After Phelts tied up the game with her right-field shot, first baseman Bryce Mitchell hit her home to give the Royals their first lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Roy starter Kenzie Kolb was relieved by Jamie Aiken, who retired all three batters.
Neither team broke through on the scoreboard until the fourth inning, when Riverton took a 2-0 lead after back-to-back hits.
The wet weather seemed to open things up as the pitchers struggled and defenders suffered a few slips. The Royals finally got on the board in the sixth as Mitchell scored on an error. The Silverwolves responded in the bottom of the inning as Steph Tyrrel and Morgan Varoz scored.
R The Royals earn their second seventh-inning winning rally in as many games

text: Blair County officials are seeking two appraisals on the former Russo Demolition site in Altoona. The county purchased the property at a tax sale earlier this year – shortly after paying $123-thousand to have the abandoned structure torn down. Commissioner Terry Tomassetti says he's hopeful someone will eventually be interested. Tomassetti says no prospective buyers have approached the county yet – and the board may consider making it a tax zone down the road. The board will pay Christopher Bartoletti $600 and David Consiglio $950 for their appraisals.

S'mores Pie - Milk chocolate pudding, sticky dark chocolate fudge, toasted marshmallows and graham crackers
Makes about twelve 1/3-cup pucks (4 to 6 servings)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats 3 1/2 cups water 1/8 teaspoon salt Honey, brown sugar, agave or other sweetener, to taste (optional) 1/2 cup dried cherries 1/3 cup almonds, roughly chopped 2 tablespoons shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
Lightly grease a standard muffin pan and set aside. (No need to grease if you are using a nonstick pan.)
Combine the oats, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, until soft and ready to eat, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in sweetener of choice, if using. Divide the oatmeal evenly into the cups of the muffin pan. Top with the cherries, almonds and pumpkin seeds, pressing lightly to make sure they are embedded in the oatmeal.
Place the muffin pan in the freezer until oatmeal is fully frozen, at least 3 hours. Remove and allow to thaw slightly, until the oatmeal can be popped out of the pan with an offset spatula or a thin butter knife. (You can dip the bottom of the pan in warm water to speed the process.) Wrap the oatmeal in freezer-safe packaging and freeze.
To eat, remove the desired number of pucks and warm in a bowl in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
Country Ham and Onion QuicheServes 12
For the crust2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup grated Parmesan1 1/2 cups (2 1/2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 teaspoon saltPinch cayenne pepper
For the fillingOlive oil, to taste1 cup chopped sweet onion, preferably Vidalia (about 1 large)1 cup chopped country ham (or cooked bacon or pancetta)1 cup grated Gruyere cheese2 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk8 large eggs1 tablespoon kosher saltWhite pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 350°F.
For the crust, add the flour, Parmesan, butter, salt, and cayenne to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Pulse until the mixture just starts to resemble coarse cornmeal; there should still be some visible pieces of butter. Gently pat the mixture evenly into the bottom (but not up the sides) of a 12-inch x 18-inch half sheet pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then bake until pale golden in color, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while making the filling.
For the filling, heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent and tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle the onions, ham, and Gruyere evenly over the baked crust.
Add cream, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper in a blender and mix until frothy. Remove and discard any foam from the top. Pour the custard evenly over the onion-ham-cheese mixture, directly into the crust.
Bake the quiche until the custard is set, about 33 to 38 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes, or wait to serve at room temperature. Cut into 12 large rectangles or small squares; serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with sprig of Italian parsley for color.
Bacon, Potato & Egg Breakfast Casseroleserves 6 as a main dish
4 slices thick bacon, cut into strips about 1/2-inch wide1 large yellow onion, peeled and diced1 yellow bell pepper, cleaned out and diced4 cloves garlic, minced1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped2 teaspoons salt, divided8 large eggs1 cup milk, fat content between 1% and 4% (whole)1 teaspoon fresh-cracked black pepper2 cups shredded cheddar cheese3 cups frozen diced potatoes, unthawed
Heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13x9" baking dish with baking spray or olive oil.
Put the bacon slices in a large skillet and turn the heat on to medium. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until it is crisp. Add the onion, yellow bell pepper, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and cook over medium heat until all the vegetables are fragrant and soft — about 5 more minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly and whisk in the milk. Whisk in the remaining teaspoon of salt, and the black pepper. Stir in the cheese, frozen potatoes, and the bacon and vegetables from the skillet. (Don't worry; the frozen potatoes cook just fine!) Pour the whole mixture into the prepared baking dish. (At this point the casserole can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.)
When you are ready to bake the casserole, bake for 40 minutes, or until the eggs are firm and the top is slightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Serve immediately with fruit and rolls or toast.
Note: • This recipe calls for frozen potatoes for the sake of convenience. But if you don't have frozen potatoes and would prefer to use fresh potatoes, substitute one medium potato for each cup of frozen potatoes. Prick the potatoes several times with a fork, then place in the microwave on a paper towel. Cook on HIGH for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are just barely tender. Dice and proceed with the recipe.

Hagere Maryame, Sidama, Ethiopia
White Grape, Plum, Assam Tea
Deri Kochoha Washing Station
Multiple Small Producers
Heirloom Ethiopia. Grown at 1800-2000 masl.
Last year we offered coffee from Deri Kochoha for the first time and it was a huge hit. Anytime that happens we start looking into how to bring it in again, and this year we were able to do so with a larger lot. This is how many of our long-standing relationships with coffee producers begin and we are looking forward to more of it in the future.
Coffees from Sidama can either be washed or dry-processed. The Deri Kochoha Washing Station, the mill that produces this coffee, uses the washed method to process coffee, which is also typical of the nearby Yirgacheffe region. More than 600 farmers bring their coffee to this mill, so the lot we are offering is a blend of coffee from many small farms. Their coffee is first put through a disc pulper to remove the skin, and subsequently undergoes fermentation under water for an extra-long 72 hours. The coffee is agitated with wooden paddles to help remove the mucilage. It is then washed in channels and brought to a soaking tank where it gets a clean bath overnight before being dried in the sun on raised beds. This process helps to yield a very clean and sweet cup that we love.
There is a wonderful black tea quality to this coffee that is present in many fine coffees from this region. We also notice a big fruit juiciness that reminds us of white grapes as well as stone fruit, like plums and peaches, similar to a classic Kenyan profile. For a coffee that has a strong fruit and tea presence, there is surprising balance and great body, making this a beautifully rounded cup to drink. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Special education students could get state aid to attend any public or private school they choose, under a bill passed by the state Assembly Tuesday night.
The vote was 55-39 to provide vouchers worth up to $13,500 a year.
The measure now goes to the Senate – and it has to pass in the next two days or it will die for the year.
Republicans say it would let disabled students go to private schools if they're not getting what they need from the public schools. But Democrats say there are groups for the disabled who oppose the measure. And they said it's part of a national effort to pull $80 million away from public schools to boost up private and religious schools.
Lawmakers worked well into the night to complete action on numerous bills before their session ends late Thursday.

The 68-year-old singer/songwriter has been struggling to remember names and song titles in recent months, and doctors informed him he is showing the first symptoms of the degenerative condition.
He tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The doctor says there are signs of Alzheimer's. It's not bad yet but will get worse. How can I not remember songs I wrote? It's frustrating. I don't feel together yet. Negative things come in my mind and it's hard for me to remember sometimes.
"The most embarrassing thing is I'll be ready to announce (collaborator) Damon (Albarn of Blur) and can't remember his last name."
The diagnosis is the latest health issue for Womack. He battled colon cancer in 2012, but received the all-clear in May.

Update (3/9) - Saturday morning, and the sun will be pretty good all day long. High pressure now fully asserted overhead, and our New England coastal storm departed. [Over 2-feet of snow fell in parts of Southern New England out of a storm that was originally forecast to drop a couple inches in the mountains with a mix of rain else-where. Given that the forecast was completely blown in parts of PA and MD, this particular storm could go down as one of the worst forecast events in recent winter history! However, this did happen more-or-less according to plan for the WV mountains and the greater tri-state area.]
Our next storm system won't approach until after the weekend, but do enjoy these 50s and 60s temperatures while they're there-- we'll be cooling back next week. Here's how the NAM is currently looking at this next system:
|NAM - Monday Morning
|NAM - Monday Evening
|NAM - Tuesday Morning
This time around, we're going to get a more 'normal' weather event it seems. A trough axis moves in, with a little wave along it that slides in Monday afternoon. On the back side Tuesday as it lifts farther north and east, colder air returns back into the system, changing some folks to snow-flakes as the moisture is ending. At present it does not look like much of a snow event, but it certainly looks like a party-crasher for our nice little stretch of spring weather.
Good Friday morning -- Here it comes!
So how about that weekend... Things are looking up! After being mired in clouds and annoying drizzle for a while, it's time to break out some sunshine. Now, this morning may be a little slow out of the gates, but there's no denying the end destination with this one:
|HPC - Surface Map - Friday
High pressure rides in, and it's a rather stout one (1033mb). When combined with a < 992mb storm system off the Atlantic coast there's still a lot of wind-flow. The change in pressure across a distance is called a pressure 'gradient'. The tighter the gradient the faster the wind-flow. At first today, that wind is still coming in with a lake-borne component (off Lake Erie and Ontario). And how about that storm system off the coast-- it's the same one that slipped by us on Wednesday, the same one that brought 12"+ snows to the WV mountains and parts of the Mid-Atlantic, and the same one that is bringing rain/snow to New England for 48-hours-plus. You thought you were annoyed by clouds? Head to the North Shore of Massachusetts :-) (my original stomping grounds)
Anyway, with a big bubble of high pressure like this, we'll see sunshine occupy a large slice of the Ohio Valley and eastern US. Eventually we'll find ourselves on the back end of it, which means wind-flow out of the south and west. Check out what we've got coming in terms of temperatures...
|GFS - Max Temps - Friday
|GFS - Max Temps - Saturday
|GFS - Max Temps - Sunday
Is that a 70 I see on Sunday? Wouldn't that be nice ;-)
That's not to say that our first dance with spring will be completely winter free... Check out how the WV mountains have been doing with each storm that has swept through since February:
|NOHRSC - Snow Depth
In the higher terrain east and north of Beckley, we're talking a greater than 20" snowpack all the way up through to Canaan Valley. Since the WV mountains have received between 3 and 5 feet of snow in the last few weeks, you can imagine this is going to be some primo skiing conditions for all our area resorts. Very nice indeed.
So, whether you want more winter in your life, or a hankering for spring, this weekend's got something for you. Enjoy!

Bad news continues to pour out of training camps all around the league and the latest team to be hit by the injury bug was the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. During the Ravens Saturday practice, tight end Dennis Pitta had a vicious collision that caused him to go down with an injury that required plenty of medical attention.
Eventually, Pitta was carted off of the field.
From Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun:
Tight end Dennis Pitta carted off the field after collision with safety James Ihedigbo. Injury and severity unknown
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) July 27, 2013
Pitta is an important part of the Ravens offense and it is crucial to have him healthy after he emerged as a serious threat this past season and in the playoffs.
If Pitta is forced to miss significant time, Ed Dickson would finally need to step up.
Baltimore is clearly hoping that the injury is not sever, but an update will surely be coming soon.

Fall Back In Style
I must be the only archaeologist on the planet who isn't a morning person. While others are wide awake, trowels in hand at well before dawn, I am likely to sleep 'til noon without some assistance.
Image: Greentea Design
An alarm is a necessity for me. Since my clock radio died a while back, I have been relying on my iPhone but this is a less than optimal solution, since I have a tendency to either knock it off my nightstand in the morning or leave it tucked under a pillow when I go to school.
Images: YLiving
Since I hate the jarring sound of an alarm, I would love the Bird Alarm Clock from Japanese-based IDEA International, which wakes one up with birdsong. The settings buttons and digital display are hidden on the back, so it looks more like a sculpture next to the bed.
Image: Nanda Home
I often turn off my alarm and go right back to sleep; apparently designer Gauri Nanda had the same problem when she was a graduate student at MIT. Her award-winning solution was to design Clocky, the über-cute little alarm that jumps off the table and rolls away to ensure that sleepy-heads are up and at 'em when they should be.
Image: Nanda Home
Not content to rest on her laurels, Nanda introduced Tocky in 2010. This version waddles away and has the added ability to record personalized wake-up messages or up to two hours of MP3s. Both models come in super-cute colours; I just hope they don't make me go this far in the morning to turn off my alarm:
Image: Marieke Staps
I am always on the lookout for green products, so I love this Soil Clock by Dutch designer Marieke Staps. In a display of science that goes beyond my comprehension, a chemical reaction creates enough electricity to run the clock. You don't even need the plants, though they certainly add to the aesthetic appeal and, as the designer points out, they remind you that the soil must be wet for the clock to work. Sadly, I'm not sure my thumb is green enough to keep this one running.
Image: Design Public
Many of the alarm clocks that I found online are actually still in the design stage. My favourite of these is the Wake n' Bacon, which cooks up pieces of everyone's favourite pork product when it is time to wake up. Seriously, who doesn't love the smell of bacon in the morning? I'm shocked that the business-savvy entrepreneurs on Shark Tank didn't back this obvious winner.
Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed this Saturday for Daylight Savings Time and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!
Bedroom Lighting: Mounted and Hung
The bedroom is a our last bastion of solace. It is the intimate space where we let down our guard and make ourselves vulnerable. Lighting choices can certainly contribute to making it a space of peace, security, and bliss.
Inasmuch as we would like to have those those utterly fabulous floor lamps, a lot of bedrooms don't really have room for them. There are many, many lovely table lamps too, but they can take quite a bit of space too on the side tables.
So we look to the higher places in the bedroom to ensconce some luminous beauties. Letting the light sources emanate from ceilings or walls are best for spaces of less breadth.
Hanging Lights
What I love most about these lights is that they're like floating lucent sculptures, with their awesome shapes and curves.
Wall-Mounted Lights
These can potentially serve as wall art in themselves. And the light they radiate usually paints gorgeous textures on an otherwise bare wall.
Double-duty Lights
It's wonderful how lighting can be integrated into furniture, such as these Night Light Tables.
These lights would surely let your place of slumber draw out all those positive feelings, so that you emerge from it refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the demands of the world outside.
A Blanket To Cuddle Up With
Image via Coral Marshmallow
Oooh, I don't about where you are but here in Toronto, it cooled down here and fast! After a searing and record-breaking summer, the mercury drop seemed instantaneous with the autumn equinox. It's taken some getting used to, I must admit.
I'm trying to embrace the coming cooler months, and now is the perfect time to cozy up the home, especially the bedroom, as I mentally and physically prepare for the annual semi-hibernation. At least fall and winter are good seasons for bedding: luxurious throws, cozy quilts, the amazing textures of microfleece and Egyptian cotton sheets, and of course big puffy duvets in beautifully patterned covers. A soft blanket to cuddle up with on a cold day is one of life's simple pleasures, bringing us back to the cuddle blankets, plush toys and parental hugs of childhood.
Faux Fur Throws from Restoration Hardware. A very grown up version of our special blanket from childhood to be sure, but certainly as comforting.
Faux fur throw done sexy. Image via A Touch of Luxe
So why not celebrate the changing seasons with some new sheets and blankets. We spend enough time in bed (or at least here's hoping!), why not shell out on something beautiful, cozy and comfortable? Here are some designs that caught my eye this season:
Anthropologie's Georgina Bedding
Anthropologie's home line, especially bed linens always wins for luxurious femininity. This plum colour is rich and warm, but not over powering in the room built for sleep and relaxation. And I love the over the top ruffles.
Restoration Hardware bed linens
For something just as sumptious but with a stronger, more masculine feel, Restoration Hardware has a stunning line of bed linens that are handmade in small batches by a California studio.
Calvin Klein Oxadized Paisley bedding
West Elm bedding
Both Calvin Klein Home and West Elm have beautiful bedding lines as well, especially if you're looking for something stylish but understated. I love Calkin Klein's line for the Asian inspired colour scheme and patterns. It feels like a perfect touch for a zen retreat. West Elm's line captures Americana with a twist for me. Lovely!
Here's hoping you get a day to sleep in, curled up under your favourite blanket, new or old! Happy Monday!
The Ultimate Guest Room
(AKA how to make sure your guests outstay their welcome)
image via bhg
We've always lived far away from family, which means we often have house guests at this time of year. While it's always wonderful to get everyone together, in a small apartment it is no easy task trying to make everyone feel at home and making sure there are enough places to sleep. Seeing as many of you are probably also opening your homes to family and friends in the coming months I thought I would put together a guide on how to create the ultimate guest experience with a few thoughtful touches.
Lets' start with lighting, which can make or break a room. A table or floor lamp will cast a soft glow that will help create a relaxing and comfortable environment. If you want to add a bit more drama to your guest room you could install a chandelier in the centre of the ceiling, but for a more subtle dramatic flair fairy lights can add some twinkle at an affordable price.
Go Lux
Go lux on the bedding and furniture in the guest room. The temptation may be to use any old sheets you have in the closet, but for a hotel-like experience break out the good stuff when company comes to stay. After a long day of visiting there is nothing better than getting a good night's rest.
Take a cue from hotels
Even if you can't offer your guests their own bathroom you can make a basket with towels and fancy soaps to add a nice touch of hospitality. I like the idea of arranging items on a tray and leaving them on the bed like in the picture above. Adding a personal note of welcome would be a very sweet thing to do as well.
A great selection of books and magazines on the bedside table provide entertainment and decoration all in one. Scan your bookshelves or magazine rack and just pull out a few titles you think your guests might enjoy. Just be prepared to lend your books out if your guest only makes it to chapter five before it's time to go.
image via designholeonline
Sleeps one, two, three, and more
If you often have more than one guest at a time, like say the whole family coming at once, there are some tricks to give the illusion of privacy even if people will be sharing a room. I think the curtains above are a brilliant idea if you have an attic space or a long room. It kind of reminds me of sleeping cars on a train.
image via Lonny
Keep it Playful
Don't feel like you need to keep the guest bedroom too hotel-like. Feel free to add some quirky touches, incorporate some cool design, or add a piece of furniture that you just love but just doesn't go anywhere else. I'm just about over the whole chalkboard wall trend, but I have to admit I'm loving it in the above example. You could draw a picture over the bed or some simple words of welcome, although this Zoolander quote is pretty awesome.
I have to admit I sometimes struggle with the whole hostess thing. Both my mother and mother-in-law are amazing at it. It all comes down to preparedness and a little bit of effort. Do you have any tricks for making guests feel at home?
Happy Friday everyone!
Favourite Spaces for Kids
Design for kids has come a long way. Moms and Dads are putting big money and time into their children's rooms, and it seems like all the design magazines and blogs are constantly showcasing amazing bedrooms and playrooms that rival an attraction at Disneyland. Why are these spaces so special? Maybe because when designing a kid's room there is no need to reign in our creativity. It's the one area of the house where you can let your imagination get carried away; the wilder, more original and fun a room is the stronger the chances that a little one will love it. Here are a few of my all-time favourite kids' spaces, beginning with the incredible tree-fort playroom pictured above.
Whimsical Boy's Room
The ferris wheel toy storage is the star attraction in this subtly circus-themed boy's room. What a great way to add some fun to cleaning up your toys. Loving the mix of stripes and primaries, and that platform bed/bench combo gives it some industrial edge.
A Bold Nursery
I'm a big fan of bold and bright nurseries. I'm so glad colour palettes for babies have moved beyond pastel blue and pink, and there are so many more design options for modern parents. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favourite aspect of this room, but the art wall and the zebra print rug are definitely top contenders.
Splish Splash
I don't remember dedicated kid's bathrooms being a big thing when I was growing up. However, now that I have a child of my own I can see the appeal of having a family friendly bath, where you can address issues like sink height and bath toy storage. What I especially like about this bath is that it's both completely kid and grown-up friendly at the same time.
A Place to Play
Kids come with a lot of toys. Finding an organized spot for everything is almost impossible, so in the playroom you may as well embrace the chaos of it all. This playroom is full of colour, creativity, and a pink drum set! I can only imagine it would be oodles of fun to play in here. Oh, to be six years old again.
Boy Den
I don't know many teen boys who are going to consent to letting anyone besides themselves decorate their room, and I'm pretty sure they would also avoid the term "decorate". If you do find yourself designing a room for a teenage boy, painting the walls black and framing some cool posters is a good place to start. This room has cool and relaxed figured out completely.
Ahoy Mate!
My jaw literally dropped the first time I saw this pirate ship bedroom. Talk about being the luckiest kid in the world. On the other side of the room there is a dungeon for locking up mutinous shipmates. Some might say this is a little extreme, or question what happens when the kid grows up and doesn't want a giant boat in their bedroom any longer? I say childhood is fleeting so why not embrace the magic while it lasts.
Happy Friday everyone!

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiSafety against drunken motorists and terrorist activity in Clayton County received funding through large state grants Tuesday. In a whirlwind of decisions, the Clayton County Board of Commissioners accepted a flurry of state and federal grants totaling $2,087,138.11 at its regular meeting. The largest of these grants is to be used for the county's homeland security. The nearly $1 million in three separate grants from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency will fund a list of requested items, which includes a specialized bomb response vehicle, mobile communications station and other communications, emergency preparedness and law enforcement items. The county also approved a $118,500 grant from the Governor's Office on Highway Safety. The Highway Enforcement Against Aggressive Traffic (HEAT) grant, a grant the county has received before, will fund a variety of programs to reduce the number of traffic accidents on the major roadways within the county. Included in the proposed use of the HEAT funds are 10 sobriety and seatbelt checkpoints and 20 driving under the influence stops a month during the coming year. A majority of the money ($87,000) will pay law enforcement personnel to carry out the planned activities of the grant money. Last year's HEAT grant helped reduce alcohol-related accidents by 22.3 percent and reduced total accidents by 4.9 percent. In other business, the board of commissioners rejected a request to move a house from Covington to Riverdale, expressing concern that the property would one day be used as a rental unit. The board also deferred appointing someone to fill the unexpired term of Miriam Worsham on the county's library board. Ms. Worsham, a long-time educator, died Sunday. She was 75.

Rated 5 / 5 stars January 12, 2010
I still love listening to this song every now and then. I love the energy brought on throughout the whole thing. It's a shame we didn't get to use it for the big game we're going to make but I'm sure many more badass songs will come.
Still loving all your work Merlin xoxox

Around the world in two minutes
Crushing polar ice, swimming at the North Pole and "polar bear baiting": An alumnus and pilot takes us to the top of the globe.
Crushing polar ice, swimming at the North Pole and "polar bear baiting": An alumnus and pilot takes us to the top of the globe.
A decade ago, Phillip Arnold, D.O.'01, served on the base camp team that helped the first and only blind man to reach the top of Mount Everest. He's had a wild ride ever since, taking care of mountain trekkers and members of the U.S. Ski Team as well as his patients at home in Wisconsin.
In recent years, DMU's three alumni boards –one for each college – have generated benefits and opportunities for fellow alumni and students. Now the University is restructuring the boards to sustain their good works, give all graduates a greater voice and create opportunities for more alumni to get involved.
Dan Kraeger, D.O.'87, speaks with passion about global health service. But when he was invited to go on his first service trip in 2005, to Bolivia, South America, he didn't want to go. "How much can I do in a week? How much can I really change?" he asked himself.
One balmy evening 11 years ago, Edgar Gomez-Palacios was walking to his San Diego home when a car struck him, leaving him in the street with a compound leg fracture and future health care nightmares. Fortunately, the intervention of DMU's Foot and Ankle staff reversed his fortunes.
Phillip Bryant, D.O.'79, is more likely to credit a short attention span than talent for his professional and personal activities, but DMU would beg to differ: A family practice physician with Mercy Johnston Medical Clinic near Des Moines, he recently had several of his paintings displayed in the University library.
Most people agree the world needs more good doctors in primary care as well as in the various medical specialties. DMU wants them to also know they can make that possible by swinging a club – at the annual College of Osteopathic Medicine Golf Benefit on Thursday, May 26, at Des Moines' Waveland Golf Course, 12:30 p.m.
Come back for the Des Moines University Alumni Reunion June 17-18, 2011. It will be memorable! You'll enjoy reconnecting with classmates, meeting faculty and staff, touring the impressive campus and seeing all of the changes to your alma mater and to the Des Moines metropolitan area. Reflect with friends on the twists, turns and trips you've taken since your student days, too.

Message from Charlize
Sometimes it feels like problems in our world are so large that they cannot be solved, but I want to tell you that each of us has a part to play in making a difference.
As a native of South Africa and a UN Messenger of Peace, I have seen firsthand the devastation HIV and AIDS have inflicted throughout sub-Saharan Africa. I founded CTAOP to help shed light on the magnitude of the problem and support the efforts of African communities to battle a disease that continues to kill millions each year.
When young people anywhere are threatened, our future is threatened. The youth of Africa are particularly at risk. If Africa is ever to free itself from the stranglehold of the HIV epidemic, it's critical that we support efforts to prevent HIV among its youth.
In Zulu, there's a word, "Ubuntu," which translated means, "I am because we are." It's the idea that to be human is to be interconnected with one another. As we are united, I believe we all have a responsibility to help each other. Together, standing in solidarity with those on the front lines in Africa, we can make a difference.
In the spirit of Ubuntu, please join me in supporting CTAOP's efforts to help keep African youth safe from HIV and AIDS and assure a better future, not just for Africa, but for all of us.
I invite you to learn more about the great work we support. Follow us on twitter and facebook, share knowledge and see how you can be a part of the solution.
With gratitude,
