Ron Smith, who came to Baltimore 38 years ago as a weekend TV anchorman but found his greatest success on radio as WBAL's "Voice of Reason," died Monday night of pancreatic cancer at his home in Shrewsbury, Pa.. He was 70.
Mr. Smith spent more than 26 years on WBAL's airwaves, most of it in the afternoon drive-time period until a move to mornings last year, passionately talking politics from a conservative point of view. But it is not his politics for which he will likely be remembered as much as the informed conversation he helped create on Baltimore radio — and the way he publicly shared his final days with listeners of WBAL and readers of The Baltimore Sun.
On Nov. 28, after continuing on-air for more than two months despite having been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer that had metastasized throughout his body, Mr. Smith signed off at the 50,000-watt news-talk station for the last time in his signature straightforward, no-nonsense, radio style.
"I'm retiring," the former Marine said in a live broadcast. "I basically can no longer do it. I'm getting weaker every day, and it's time to pull the plug. I'm just not up to it. So, you have to face that kind of thing. Basically, the curtain is coming down right now. I'm bidding everyone a very fond farewell."
Clarence Mitchell IV, a colleague at WBAL, says that while he always admired Mr. Smith as a talk-show host, he was in awe of the public and powerful way that Mr. Smith handled his final days.
"The dignity and the manner with which Ron Smith has dealt with his illness, sharing it with his audience and the world, has really gained the respect of everyone who has followed his travail," Mr. Mitchell said. "Since the understanding of his illness in the last few weeks and months of his life, he has gone out more gloriously as a man than he even was a talk-show host."
Mr. Smith was a very good radio host, according to Towson University Professor Richard Vatz.
"Ron Smith, simply put, was the best radio talk-show host I have ever known," said Mr. Vatz. "I can sum up even as brilliant and well-informed a talk-show host as Ron in a sentence: He hated insipid conversation. What are the qualities at which he excelled? Knowledgeability and lack of deception. He never faked knowing something he didn't know."
While many assessments of Mr. Smith in recent weeks spoke of his breadth of knowledge and intelligence — with frequent references to his using the airwaves to "teach" and "educate" his audience — Mr. Smith's relationship to education was, by his own admission, a complicated one that shaped his life in significant ways.
Born 1941 in upstate New York, Mr. Smith, the son of an assistant school superintendent, dropped out of high school at age 17 and joined the Marines. He was in the Marines from 1959 to 1962, his last duty serving at a Navy submarine base in New London, Conn.
When asked in a Sun interview last month if his military experience was crucial to understanding his life, Mr. Smith said, "Not so much becoming a Marine, but why I became a Marine, the necessity to escape school."
"School was like a prison," he said. "I had to get out. I always read easily since the time I was a little kid. I used to read the Encyclopedia Britannica Junior since the time I was 7 or 8 years old, so I educated myself. And, of course, educating yourself is a trap because you go down the wrong road quite a bit. But, on the other hand, it allows you to investigate what you really think is interesting and useful. And those characteristics came in handy in terms of my later career."
After the Marines, Mr. Smith started working in community theater in Albany, N.Y., near his hometown of Troy, while he "tried to figure out" what he wanted to do.
"I was always attracted to acting, and the most talented kid that I knew who was a director, actor and singer had made $2,600 in 1962," Mr. Smith said. "And that made me think, 'Hmm, I'd like to take my talents and make a living,' which basically led me to broadcasting. I always had the ability to sight read very easily, and I had a good voice — so those things were assets."
Mr. Smith's first broadcasting job was as a disc jockey in Haverhill, Mass. He didn't like the station, but he liked being on the air. He returned to Albany and eventually landed a radio and TV reporting job at WTEN. He was at that station five years when the call came in 1973 to join Baltimore's WBAL-TV as a weekend anchor and reporter.
Three years later, he was co-anchor on Channel 11's first-string news team, but he was up against the legendary Jerry Turner on WJZ. By 1980, he was unceremoniously dumped in an anchor desk shuffle.
"Let me tell you about competing against WJZ-TV anchorman Jerry Turner," Mr. Smith wrote in a piece for The Baltimore Sun shortly after Mr. Turner's death. "I would have had more of a chance in the squared circle against Ali or Tyson."
Mr. Smith went to work full time as a stockbroker, but he never lost the desire to be on air. And while he claimed to enjoy working in the financial world, it was all prelude for the passion he found as a talk-show host starting part-time in 1984 and full time a year later on WBAL radio.
In describing what being a radio talk-show host meant to him, Mr. Smith said, "It's what I do. It's who I am. It's my creative expression." He was only half kidding when he took to referring to himself as "Talk Show Man" after a Sun columnist called him that in the paper.

Heading out for a star-studded evening ahead, plenty of celebrities made an appearance at the "Divergent" premiere in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (March 18).

It's almost time for "Divergent" to hit theaters and last night (March 17) Shailene Woodley and Theo James showed up at a special screening in Thousand Oaks, California.
The "Descendants" dame and the "Underworld: Awakening" star looked cool and casual as she addressed the audience at the private event, hosted by Summit Entertainment and Allittakes.org at the Muvico Theaters.
She's well-known for her passion for natural living, and Shailene Woodley is all about caring for every single inch of her body.
During her interview with Into the Gloss on Monday (March 17), the "Divergent" actress confessed that she likes to shed a little sunlight on her lady nest.
With her highly anticipated film "Divergent" slated to hit theaters this Friday (March 21st), Shailene Woodley pitched in on promotional efforts by covering the April 2014 issue of Marie Claire magazine.

Hoping to catch her flight out of LA, Shailene Woodley was spotted passing through LAX airport on Friday (March 14).
Cute in a long blue sweatshirt, the "Divergent" starlet sported a pair of sexy black skinnies, wearing shades and a pair of Chucks as she walked through the terminal.

They've been super busy plugging their new film "Divergent" and the latest stop for Shailene Woodley and Theo James was the 2014 mtvU Woodie Awards and Festival in Austin, Texas last night (March 13).
Taking care of her media duties, Shailene Woodley showed up at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" to plug her new movie "Divergent" last night (March 12).
Given that the "Descendants" actress is a bit on the hippie side, Fallon began, "Every time you come on, I always ask you what new things you're doing. Are you drinking a new tea? What herbs do you have?"
Photo Credit: NBC
They've been busy on the promotional trail as of late, and Shailene Woodley and Theo James' latest stop was an interview on "Today" on Wednesday (March 12).
Given the success of the literary series already, the "Descendants" dame confessed she was glad to have a little artistic license with her role as Beatrice.

On Estimating Marginal Tax Rates For U.S. States
AbstractThis paper presents a procedure for generating state-specific time-varying estimates of marginal tax rates (MTRs). Most estimates of MTRs follow a procedure developed by Koester and Kormendi (1989) (K&K). Unfortunately, the time-invariant nature of the K&K estimates precludes their use as explanatory variables in panel data studies with fixed effects. Furthermore, the associated MTR estimates are not explicitly linked to statutory tax parameters. Our approach addresses both shortcomings. Using comprehensive tax policy data, we estimate state-specific, time-varying MTRs for all 50 states over the years 1977–2004. The inclusion of statutory tax variables has a significant impact on MTR estimates.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY -- The St. Lucie County Fire District, along with the 2-1-1 Call Center, launched a program to install 3,206 smoke detectors in St. Lucie County residences. The program is funded by a federal grant.
"We have had several recent fires in which a working smoke detector would have made the difference," said Deputy Chief Brian Blizzard. "We are confident that this program will save lives."
In addition, 200 smoke detectors for the hearing impaired will be available and the call center will also take calls for those smoke detectors. Those detectors for the hearing impaired will need to be installed by a licensed electrician.
St. Lucie County firefighters responded to a house fire on Feb. 18, which killed a grandmother and grandfather, and severely injured the grandson. On April 24, firefighters responded to another house fire in which two residents suffered smoke inhalation and both had to be transported to a burn center because of their injuries.
"The 2-1-1 Call Center is proud to collaborate with St. Lucie County Fire District to make smoke detectors accessible to the citizens of St. Lucie County," said Susan Buza, executive director for the 2-1-1 Call Center. "Using the 2-1-1 24-hour telephone community help line as the access point will make it easy for residents."
In 2011, 132 civilians died from fire-related incidents in Florida, with 73 percent of those being residential fires. In addition across the state, 1,003 civilians were injured in fires, with 839 of those being in residential fires.
The smoke detectors are operated by a 10-year lithium battery, so residents will not have to remember to replace batteries every year. They also have a "hush" feature so residents will be able to temporarily turn off the smoke detector if there is an accidental activation.
St. Lucie County residents can call the 2-1-1 Call Center to arrange for a smoke detector. The call center will gather information from the resident and then pass it on to the Fire District. Firefighters will arrange a time to meet the resident and install the smoke detector.

A view of the pool and PALM TREES!! I love palm trees, they just never seem like real trees. and where we are they are growing every where, along the highway, every where. I love it!! AND OMG the Spanish moss in the trees, it's so ethereal and beautiful. Pictures of it do not do it justice and usually look kinda ugly, but in person it's just wonderful.

LG Presents the Future of Displays with a TV that Changes its Curve
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today took the cover off the world's first Flexible OLED TV at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. With this groundbreaking TV unit, viewers can control the angle of curvature for the ultimate viewing experience that was only available in the realm of science fiction.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d)
"LG's Flexible OLED TV is a product that has to be seen to be believed because it defies description," said H. H. (Hyun-hwoi) Ha President and CEO of LG's Home Entertainment Company. "What curved is to flat, flexible is to curved. LG continues to lead the evolution of televisions into the next generation."
What separates LG's Flexible OLED TV from every other TV set in the world is that the curvature of the display can be altered using the TV remote to suit the viewer's preference. The range of curvature was determined by taking into account key factors that affect the viewing experience such as screen size and viewing distance. Since the viewer can adjust the curvature, they can enjoy the best TV viewing experience, tailored to their tastes, every time.
The 77-inch TV unit is the result of technological integration encompassing all aspects of producing a product as innovative as this TV, such as design, displays, quality assurance, etc. The Flexible OLED TV has been subject to tens of thousands of hours of tests to ensure the reliability and durability of its unique display. With the introduction of the Flexible OLED TV, LG now has achieved a major grand slam, having introduced its share of world firsts in the OLED TV space — flat, curved and now flexible.
Visitors to LG's booth at CES 2014 (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #8204) from January 7 - 10 will have the opportunity to see LG's stunning Flexible OLED TV for themselves.

Microsoft and 4J Studios announced Wednesday that a new texture pack for Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will arrive at the end of this week to give the game a more big city feel.
The City Texture Pack will be released Friday, March 7 to the Xbox Store for $1 and features new textures that, as their name suggests, gives the game the look and feel of the city.
"A creative texture set, ideal for building structures," Microsoft wrote on the PlayXBLA site. "Free your inner architect and shape the world around you. The perfect set for the focused builder!"
4J Studios previewed the City Texture Pack nearly three weeks ago with a replicate of a building being planned for Dundee, Scotland.
There's no word on when this texture pack might make it to Minecraft: PS3 Edition. Additionally, there are no details on when Title Update 14 (TU14) might be released. At this point, it will be an end of March release at best but seems likely to slip into April.

IMO leave the achievements alone, it's all about the date on said achievements.
People are still getting the Warglaives feat of strength... but seeing 10-21-08 on it is much more impressive than seeing 02-26-09.
Jay in Oregon said...
"By making these proto-drakes unable to be gotten, they are hindering the casual players'(ie the ones who achievements are really made for) chance at completing the mount achievements."
3.1 is introducing at least 6 new mounts just through the Argent Tournament -- five new racial mounts for each faction and the Argent Crusade hippogryph. Those will most likely be easier to get than the Naxxramas raid protodrakes.
And no, achievements are not just made for casual players. Do you really believe that Joe Weekend Player should get to sport the Arena Master title? Some achievements are trivial to get. Some achievements require little more than time and effort. And some will require dedication, creativity, or skill to accomplish.

The Legislature has abandoned its effort to make the MBTA retirement fund follow disclosure and ethics rules that apply to other pensions for public workers, repealing a law passed just a year ago to open the normally secretive operation to greater scrutiny.
Lawmakers accepted two narrower measures instead. They will require the MBTA to disclose the names of its retirees and their pension benefits online, as other state agencies already do.

Hung Blond Hunk Josh Ryan Barebacks Frankie Jay
Josh Ryan, the hung blond hunk from Bareback Blonds, was out and about shooting porn in Palm Springs recently and met up with local hottie Frankie Jay.
At first, it was Josh who thought he was gonna get fucked by the mega-porn star with the big golden dick ... but as soon as Frankie got at look at Josh's monster cock, the poor guy suddenly felt small, in more ways than one ... so the tables turned and the top hunk soon became a bottom cum whore! After some mutual oral action, Frankie sat his tight butthole down on Josh's huge hard cock and they fucked bareback until Frankie got off on the new experience. Afterwards Josh finished himself off with an awesome self-sucking BJ finale!
Self Sucking BFs - In the Spotlight
Go on, admit it, - you've tried to suck your own cock at least once. Every guy probably has. GayDemon has just reviewed Self Sucking BFs and these guys have figured out through trial and error, and a little ingenuity and experimentation, that they can give themselves head.
The first time a guy discovers that his cock spits warm, sticky juice is a wonderful moment, and for decades after that first cum shot, he'll spend countless hours trying to figure out new and wonderful ways to make his dick feel good. At one time or another, most guys have thrown their legs over their heads and tried to suck their own cocks. But it ain't easy.
A lot of the guys on Self Sucking BFs can't do it, but many can lick their dicks and wrap their lips around their own cock heads. Regardless, these studs get into some hot jack-off sessions and splash their own cum loads into their mouths and onto their faces. Self Sucking BFs is a new site that's worth looking at and your membership gives you access to lots of other bonus sites and videos.
Self Sucking Sammy
My boss here at Gay Demon doesn't really like me posting videos with a lot of interview talk, but Sammy from Squirtz is so damned cute and he's got a juicy, big, uncut cock, so I'm going to post this anyway and if I get shit, oh well. While Sammy talks throughout his whole video, Squirtz has edited it so that we keep flashing over to this Quebecois guy jerking his big piece of meat. So don't worry, while Sammy's talking you'll get to see lots of his beautifully fat foreskinned dick. And towards the end of this video, we even get to see Sammy lean over and lick his own cock. Man, it's been a long time since I was that flexible! You go, Sammy!
Whoppers Two
If there's one thing gay porn fans want, it's big ones! Whoppers, if you will--and we ain't talking Burger King! Hot House Video has come to the rescue with its new release, Whoppers Two. The San Francisco-based studio says that this latest compilation from director Steven Scarborough is the ultimate tribute to its, er, "biggest" superstars. The press release promises that each cast member boasts at least nine inches of manmeat (ruler, please!). And with porn legends Thom Barron (also the owner of the veiny box-cover whopper above...yum!), Aiden Shaw, Rafael Alencar, Blu Kennedy, Trevor Knight, Fredrick Ford, Rick Gonzales and Jason Crew on board, we believe it. In fact, Hot House says that if you put all this oversize dick end-to-end, there would be more than 10 feet of rock-hard rod! (They measured!?) Highlights include self-suck and self-fuck action, a hot leather threeway, poolside banging, executive play and more. To get your whopper, visit HotHouse.com.
Self-Sucking Aussie Guy
Lucky Bentley Race got to photograph 22 year old Robbie, who has a big uncut tool and he can suck himself! He is smooth all over and has a great hole to fuck, which he demonstrates by playing with a large rubber dildo!
Big Dicked Self-Sucker
View full video at You Love Jack
Here's an amateur guy from You Love Jack who's got a great big fucking cock. It's not only long, it's thick, and since it IS so long, this dude decides to take advantage of it by going down on himself. He has to sort of work up to it, but work at it he does, so he can not only stroke that nice piece of meat he has swinging between his thighs, but he can wrap his lips around it and blow!
Tyler Blows Himself
It never ceases to blow my mind whenever I see a guy lick or suck his own cock. I mean, how the hell can you not be impressed by that? You Love Jack presents their new, very well hung hottie, Tyler. Blessed with 9 inches of uncut man meat, this boy sure knows how to please himself. Having something that large to play with, it wouldn't be hard to develop a habit of self-sucking on a regular basis, I think. Tyler starts off hard pretty much from the beginning. His perfectly straight cock points toward the ceiling with a conveyance of incredible power. Like it could destroy anything in it's path, and it probably would! Tyler is quite lean as you can tell, so putting his legs right over his head in order to suck himself off doesn't seem too difficult for him. He managed to slip the entire head of his schlong into his mouth, too. Fuck me, that is so amazing. Now, keep in mind that Tyler shot this video himself while pulling off this astounding feat. So not only can Tyler suck his own dick, but he can multi-task. What a talented boy!
Sam Sucks Himself Off
You'd never know it by just looking at Sam, but he's actually the shy, quiet type. This was his very first time ever being caught pleasing himself on camera, so needless to say, he was quite nervous that day. However, as is usually the case with first timers, they relax once the clothes are shed and they're horny as hell. Sam was no different. In no time at all he had his thick, uncut cock raring for a good wank. It was when he started to beat off that he informed the crew from Blake Mason that he could actually suck himself off. Well, shit! Far be it for them not to get to Sam to prove it - of which he certainly did! Bending right over at the waist, the highly skilled "acrobat" proceeded to blow himself. What a fantastic sight this is! As you can see from one of the pics up top, Sam actually managed to take a good amount of his man meat inside his mouth. The end result? How about a healthy flow of UK lad spunk all over his hand?!
There's Something About Matt
There's something about first-time amateur Matt from Pet Ur Monkey. He's hot and has lots of attitude. He's also covered with all sorts of tattoos, and then there are his piercings - his lip, nipples and cock. And something else stands out about Matt - his 9 inch dick! The photographer discovered that Matt not only likes to put on a show when he undresses, but he also likes to talk dirty while he strokes his manmeat. Besides all this, there's something else about Matt - he can suck himself, and loved doing it on camera. Auto-fellatio, anyone?
View full video at Cruiser Boys
Bisexual Troy has Tobey suck his cock right there in the kitchen, then does a little self-sucking for the Cruiser Boys camera. Then horny Tobey climbs on top of Troy goes for a ride on top of that a big dick, letting it penetrate his hungry ass hard and deep.

A unique laugh that immediately brings a particular person to mind.
Launching Monday. Any title comments?
There are some unique laughs that, when imitated by anyone, immediately bring to mind a single person. It may be an Annoying Laugh (even a Most Annoying Sound) or an Evil Laugh, it may be the sounds/words used, or the fact that it's at a terribly inappropriate time, but everyone knows who it's connected to. When this happens, this person has a Signature Laugh. It doesn't count if it reminds you of a type of person (like the Noblewoman's Laugh), nor just a type of laugh (like The Hyena). It must be an individual who springs immediately to mind when it's heard. Can overlap somewhat with Verbal Tic. Some of these sounds are difficult to translate onto a page, but when you hear them, you know. Compare Annoying Laugh, Evil Laugh, Laughing Mad.

What Is Sharp? Bob Kramer Has 5 Ways to Tell If Your Knife Is Sharp Enough
Sharp knives make cutting and prepping ingredients faster, easier and safer, we know this. But what does a truly sharp knife look like? In this short but very illuminating video, Master Bladesmith Bob Kramer demonstrates five simple tests to tell if your knife is sharp enough. (Spoiler alert: it probably isn't.)
According to Kramer, a properly sharpened knife should be able to:
• Cut the tops off of carrots while they are being held, without the use of a cutting surface
• Cut through paper
• Slice through a rolled up magazine page
• Easily slice a tomato
• Bite into the papery skin of an onion, without sliding
Kramer also demonstrates how a dull knife performs when attempting these tasks. After watching, I'm afraid most of my knives are due for a sharpening. How are you feeling about your own knives?

Or you can, you know, just look at the edge of the knife. If you look at it straight on and you see lots of shiny spots, it's dull. Lots of sparkles and it's on its way to dull. When you look straight at the edge of a knife, you basically shouldn't be able to see the edge.
These are good tips!
I wish he had shown us how to hone and sharpen a knife! Maybe there's another video somewhere?
Great tips. I use tomatoes and onions as my reference point, now I've got a few others to try.
wow. The rolled magazine example is to me a truly HORRIFYINGLY sharp knife. The kind that i would constantly cut myself with. A paring knife that sharp is an express ticket to the emergency room in my house.
I was afraid of knives growing up, because my mom would only have them sharpened when my grandpa came to visit every five years or so! My knives are much much sharper and it gives me a lot more confidence. The tomato and onion tests are good for me too. Now if I'm confronted with a dull knife I am almost incapacitated because I can't stand it. In a pinch with a really dull knife: hone it on the bottom of a ceramic mug or bowl and it will be sort of usable. :)
Elle.victor, I CANNOT handle dull knives either! My MIL has only terrible serrated (not for bread) knives or ones so dull they're like a butter knife. We do weekly dinners, and although my knives do need to be sharpened, when it's my turn to cook, I ALWAYS bring my own (and usually travel everywhere with one)
Five very good test for sharpess were mentioned in the video. I use some of them when I sharpen at the various Farmers Markets. Also mentioned was looking at the blade. A sharp knife will "split" the light, not reflect it.
A sharp knife is sfaer than a dull one!
One of the best ways to keep your knives sharp (especially if you have them rattling around in a drawer) is to protect them with these simple DIY knife guards. They're really easy to make and practically FREE!
Mine are scary dull and I know it. Time to get that taken care of. I will call this week to get them sharpened!
I missed getting the guy at the farmer's market to sharpen mine this fall and I notice how awful they are. It's REALLY noticiable.

When you are done, it will look absolutely nothing like the photo. They did not slash it in a tic tac toe pattern or form in into a slightly flattened ball. The bread in the photo is also much darker in color and has no sesame seeds on top. The recipe also does not inform you until the end that it will be better brushed with the egg yolk, so don't throw the yolk away in the trash can!

Boston Marathon bombings suspect faces death penalty
Boston, MA, United States (4E) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday authorized federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty as punishment for the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings in April last year.
Following the announcement of the recommendation by the Department of Justice, prosecutors led by Boston U.S. Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz notified U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr. of the decision, a day ahead of the deadline to do so.
The U.S. attorney's office will now request for a trial date for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, a Chechnya-born American responsible for the attack that killed three people and injured more than 250 others. Tsarnaev has been charged with 30 counts, including using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death and destruction of property.
He and his older brother, Tamerlan, were also accused of killing a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer as the manhunt for them was launched.
Tsarnaev and his brother left backpacks containing bombs made out of pressure cookers at the finish line of the race on April 15, 2013. They then detonated the improvised explosive devices from a distance. Police used surveillance videos in the race to identify suspects. Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police in Watertown, during which Dzhokhar was also wounded but escaped. On April 19, police found Tsarnaev hiding in a boat on a trailer and arrested him.
Police found a note written by Dzhokhar that says the bombings were in retaliation for the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

News about UB's legal programs and related insight into
the law.
The timely and controversial subject of the United States'
drone policy in the Middle East will be debated and explored at a
public program to be held at the University at Buffalo Law School
at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, in 107 O'Brian Hall on
UB's North Campus.
Continuing to develop its presence in global legal education,
the University at Buffalo Law School has begun two new programs for
international students.
The NFL's new "test case" for pro football
players accused of domestic violence could lead to increased
scrutiny and more education about the issue outside of professional
sports, according to the director of the Domestic Violence and
Women's Rights Clinic at the University at Buffalo's
Law School.
University at Buffalo Law School sports law expert Nellie Drew
believes Buffalo sports fans will get their wish: The Bills will
stay in Buffalo.
Law review editors who do the exacting work of checking their
articles' citations of other scholars' work see the
same names pop up again and again. In the field of election law, a
new study has tallied those citations to identify the 10 faculty
from all 200 ABA law schools whose work in election law has the
most impact on their peers – and a University at Buffalo Law
School professor is on the list.
The University at Buffalo Law School today released employment
figures for its Class of 2013, showing an employment rate on par
with and exceeding the national average in one of the toughest job
markets for new law school graduates.
No less than "a new way of thinking about the foundations
of law" is on the table at an innovative workshop taking
place today and tomorrow at the University at Buffalo Law
Yesterday's Supreme Court decision in the Limelight
Networks v. Akamai Technologies case states criminal law should not
bear much weight in how third-party infringement of property rights
cases are decided, according to a University at Buffalo Law School
professor and expert on cyberspace legal issues.
When the U.S. Supreme Court delivers its much-anticipated
decision on whether to maintain buffer zones around reproductive
clinics, University at Buffalo law professor Lucinda Finley will be
in a unique position to interpret how it will change the ongoing
debate and landscape on reproductive rights for women.

I repeat the question to you? "What's the big deal?" Are values really important? Is the erosion of our society enough for us to get on our knees to call on Heaven to help us impact this generation? Is the erosion of values enough to draw us back to teaching foundational truths like the ten commandments?
We are passionate about helping parents and children's ministry leaders impact children's lives. We want to see children experience a life changing, behavior changing relationship with Jesus Christ. It is vital that as Christian educators we go beyond rote knowledge to practical life application. We want to help you entertain, train and explain Bible truths in such a way your children can put them on like a pair of good shoes and walk out the principals in their everyday life. We do that through inspirational teacher training resources and solid, biblical curriculum like God's Laws for Kids.
This 13-week adventure begins by establishing the commandments are not suggestions, but laws. The next two lessons come from the New Testament where Jesus establishes that the greatest commandment is love and second one is like it. All the other commandments hang on these laws of love.
The unit uses interesting Bible & real-life stories to illustrate each commandment. Truths are then re-emphasized with skits using either live actors or two toucan birds. Cant, who thinks he "can't" keep the commandments and Can, who knows he can. Each lesson has a simple easy to follow format:
A Memory Verse emphasis Bible Story Object lesson from Science or American History Character Story (Many from Washington DC) Skit using 2 people or puppets ( same two characters are used each week) Reinforcement activity Reinforcement activity page
Use this curriculum for family devotions, children's church, Sunday School, midweek services, and outreach programs. Go to the sample lesson to read a sample of what we have to offer. It's fun. It's meaty. It's creative. It's different!

On Friday, Arturo Gallegos Castrellon, 35 was found guilty in a federal courtroom in El Paso of three counts of murder for ordering the killing of Leslie Ann Enriquez Catton, a U.S. consulate worker, her husband and Jorge Alberto Salcido Ceniceros, the husband of a U.S. consulate employee.
The three were gunned down in coordinated attacks March 20, 2010, in the violent city of Juarez.
Castrellon, a high-ranking member of the Barrio Azteca gang, was also convicted on eight other charges, including money laundering, racketeering and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.
Gallegos was extradited from Mexico in 2012.
Fellow gang member, turned-government witness, Jesus Ernesto "Camello" Chavez Castillo testified during the trial that leaders of Barrio Azteca believed that someone inside the U.S. consulate office was actually assisting the rival Sinaloa drug cartel, by giving out travel visas to Sinaloa members.
Borderland Beat reported:
Chavez said the reason they suspected this was because people in El Paso were seemingly able to buy drugs at cheaper prices than the prices that the Barrio Azteca gang offered. The gang leaders tried to investigate but their investigation did not lead to any answers, Chavez testified.
Chavez testified that he oversaw a group of hit squads that were responsible for killing more than 2,000 people in Juárez during the drug cartel wars between the Carrillo Fuentes organization, which was allied with the Barrio Azteca gang, and the Sinaloa drug cartel led by Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, which had other gang allies. Chavez said his part in the violence ended with his arrest in July 2010.
Gallegos faces up to life in prison, when he is sentenced on April 24.

Blue Malaise
It's clear that the true problems of our team are much deeper -- deeper than crappy starting pitchers, deeper even than a horrible bullpen. And I realize more than ever that as A Goat Rider of the Apocalypse I need your help. So, I decided to reach out and listen to the voices of Cubdom.
With apologies to Jimmy Carter, our baseball team is playing in a big vat of malaise (not to be confused with the much tastier mayonaise). And so I ask:
What will be the spark?
Will LaTroy suddenly decide to be a stopper?
Will Cy Zambrano stop getting pissed off at umps long enough to blow away opposing batters?
Will Dusty Baker spare some holy water for Kerry Wood's shoulder?
Will Jim Hendry can Dusty Baker?
Will Jose Macias start playing like Neifi!?
Will Dusty start playing Jason Dubois everyday?
Or is the spark going to go in the other direction?
Will Derrek Lee stop hitting everything in sight?
Will Neifi! start playing like Neifi?
Will Aramis Ramirez groin tear in half?
Will Kerry Wood suffer a torn rotator cuff?
I don't know what the rest of this season will bring, but right now, this team is killing me.
Often you see paralysis and stagnation and drift. You don't like, and neither do I. What can we do?

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Thongs for throngs are flinging prongs?
As you may have read, a woman is suing Victoria's Secret because she says she was hurt by her thong panties when a metal clip holding a rhinestone flew off and hit her in the eye.
Personal injury is a very serious thing. Still, if this comes to trial she's probably going to have to show how it happened in court. I can see lawyers, jurors and the judge all wearing industrial goggles to protect their eyes while the woman pulls on thongs every which way, trying to duplicate the sharp zing of flying rhinestones.
As a dedicated consumer advocate, I've tested odd claims before. You may recall Help me, I'm in a grape jam! If something bad happens, please explain to my family why I was found in a room full of extra large thongs, the walls pock-marked with staples and shards of imitation gems. They'll want to know what happened.

Has anyone told her thongs are not sling shots?
I wasn't aware the semi-automatic thongs had been legalized.
What did she hear when the clip hit her? THONGK!
I think the problem here is her vintage of 52 years of age. Had she been just a hair younger she would have had the benefit of a concerned parent warning her, "you'll shoot your eye out!"
at 52 years old, she may be better off with somehting to blur vision, she will not be able to see herself in something made for those half her age!
Oh My god Brazilian chicks are sooooo hot!

What is Time?
Time. What is it?
A seperate dimension?, an interelationship of spactial dimensions? Why does it appear to "flow" in only one direction? We seen to exist "in" it, yet its connection to our consciousness seems highly variable from "time flying" to "clocks stopping". Can we really understand anything about Time that would change our Science, Religion and/or Culture? And why do I like Doctor Who so much?

Mar 15 2012: i would go further in describing time in its relation to reality
Fake time (i.e reality) replaced the real(non-linear time) and just spun itself out like sensory hallucinations during sense-deprivation: generated by low level construct entities…or even by its own hypnoidal automatic process-like stream of association thinking. then it would be tottaly entrpoic, running gradually down-degenerating, but not slowing down in tems of real time; rather, it just discharges itself faster and faster into a vacuum, that of time as receptacle of being.

What would have made the Occupied Movement successful as an attempt by our young adults to make things change for the better?
My son is a follower of the Occupied Movement as a recent college graduate who found it very difficult to find a job in his field of study. I first learned of his passion for the Occupied when viewing his FB entry of a utube video of the Newsies scene when the boys first become organized and decide to strike. His comment "this says it all". So, for his 23rd birthday, I took him to see Newsies on Broadway. It now has a cult following based on what the Occupied stands for. But what does the Occupied stand for? Where are they now? Why aren't they organized enough to drive change in our society? Where is the energy and passion of our youth to rebel against what is wrong in society? And why did it end up to be just a group of homeless people that had no direction?

The Zine Challenge is a personal challenge to make a zine within a year. It's great to kickstart your next zine project or an extra push for first time zinemakers to finally give it a go.
The first Zine Challenge was in 2010 and was issued following a zine workshop at Welcome Home, hosted by me and Jen Collins. There were quite a few zines completed by participants.
If you'd like to take up the zine challenge, just sign up and make your pledge to publish a zine before July 1st 2013.
The rest is up to you! It's a personal challenge so there are no other rules and no-one will be nagging you. However, if you need some nagging, you can add this badge to your blog so people will ask you about your zine and keep the pressure on!
To make things more fun, I'm offering some incentives for finished zines. Send me a copy of your finished zine and next July I'll enter everyone into a prize draw for a big pack of zines.
I'll also do a round-up of finished zines at the end, whether or not you decide to enter the contest.
If you're not quite sure how to make a zine, how to get it printed or what you want to write about, check out Let's Make Zines!, my mini zine about zinemaking. You can also ask questions, post progress photos and have a chat over at the Zine Challenge Flickr Group.

Once on their site, scroll down and the Ecoffice subdirectory is on the left side of the page. All appropriate products will display the universal green triangle wherever they come up in a search, but having those products in a separate listing will facilitate the search, evaluation and selection of eco-friendly products.
See here for a list of commonly ordered items that Staples offers with fixed or "best contract" pricing.

Well, I'm 40 in a week or so's time so I though I'd best get something nice. After several weeks of watching Autotrader one came up.
A Lexus RX300. It's an immaculate 2002 Model with only 40k on the clock, a full Lexus service history and leather interior. For £5000 :)
Now all that remains is to get the Parrot MKi9200 fitted so I can have Bluetooth and iPod connectivity and a gas conversion. I hopefully pick it up in a weeks time.
It was a real Chelsea tractor too, from Chelsea. Looks like it had never left inner London! Time to introduce it to the Pennines and Cumbria I think :cool:
