Shawn Worthy admits he's a competitive guy — and a competitive parent, sometimes.
Shawn Worthy admits he's a competitive guy — and a competitive parent, sometimes.
Yet even he was floored when a couple of moms he met at a pro junior golf tournament told him that their teen daughters were entered in 30 such events this past summer.
"Why are these young ladies out on the golf course playing competitively four or five days a week?" Worthy asked himself.
His own 16-year-old daughter, Soleil, holds down a job while participating in a few tournaments each summer. She and the other young women are good, Worthy says, maybe talented enough to play in college.
But 30 tournaments?
"If you're a future Olympian, I get it. But for these kids who will never reach that level, that's what I don't get," says Worthy, a professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver with an interest in sports psychology.
"What does it say about our culture that we go to this extreme?" he asks. "And that we push our kids to this extreme?"
It's not just golf. Many parents, coaches and researchers see a steady upping of the ante in youth sports, with kids whose families can afford the time and cost involved playing more, practicing more and specializing in one sport at younger ages.
Parents are driven by a desire to help their children stand out and the fear that, if they don't, their kids will be left behind. To keep pace, they're often traveling hundreds if not thousands of miles a year for games and tournaments. Some parents send their children to personal trainers, or to the growing number of so-called elite training facilities that have opened in recent years.
Often, the goal is to simply land a spot on the local high school team, an accomplishment once taken for granted. Or a young person may try to get on the roster in the growing private club team system — an even more exclusive route that some top teenage athletes are choosing, especially when high schools cut coaches and opportunities.
"It's an athletic arms race," says Scott VanderStoep, a psychology professor at Hope College in Holland, Mich., who studies youth sports.
And it starts early.
"It sort of spreads throughout the community, and then it reduces down in age," VanderStoep says. "If it's OK for 14-year-olds, then it's OK for a 12-year-old, or a 10-year-old."
VanderStoep admits that, as a dad of two daughters who play volleyball, even he feels beholden to the system. For his daughters, that has meant weight-lifting camps and tournaments, and seemingly endless required practices and packed schedules.
"You feel obligated to do it. You want to give your kids the opportunity," he says. "And if they don't show up, they lose opportunities to play."
Corinne Henson, a mom in suburban Chicago, knows about those hard choices. Her sons, 11-year-old Tyler and 14-year-old Dylan, play year-round baseball on different traveling teams and also manage to squeeze in basketball and football for their local park district.
But there are sacrifices, especially for their parents. Time spent on sports has meant giving up their longtime campsite in Indiana, where they'd kept a travel trailer. They simply have no time to go there.
"Our vacations are baseball trips," Henson says. She figures they spend several thousand dollars a year on travel, team fees and equipment. Often, one parent is taking Dylan to one game or practice, while the other parent carts Tyler to the other.
When they were younger, their boys regularly missed birthday parties and other events because of games. But the most difficult decision came earlier this year, when Dylan's best friend was struck and injured by a hit-and-run driver.
Their town, Oak Forest, Ill., had a fundraiser for the friend in July. But Dylan, a catcher who is captain of his traveling baseball team, had four tournament games that day. He decided he had to be at the tournament, and showed up at the fundraiser as it was wrapping up.
His friend understood. "I would have done the same thing," he told Dylan.
Diane Hughes, a mom in New Jersey, also knows that many outsiders would look at her 10-year-old son's travel-team baseball schedule and shake their heads.
"It really sounds crazy, I know," Hughes says.
It often means he has multiple three-hour practices each week, a 45-minute drive from their home. Weekend tournaments usually consist of four or five games. And Hughes figures she spends $5,000 to $6,000 a year so he can participate — an amount that is pretty standard and often more, especially for those who seek out elite training.
There are many positives, Hughes says.
"In the long run, I want him to have his time structured, so I love the fact that he loves it so much. It's exercise. It's building a skill. It's fun — and it's fun to watch them," Hughes says.
Her biggest concern? That, by the time he gets to high school, he'll be tired of baseball.
In the Henson house, the rule is simple: "Homework first," says mom, who's a teacher.
Jon Butler, executive director of Pop Warner Little Scholars, an international youth football and cheerleading program, says that's a perspective he hears less and less.
"The first several years I was here, our biggest concern was training coaches — the overzealous Vince Lombardi coach," says Butler, who's been in his position for more than 20 years. "That started to change in the late 1990s, when we started to be concerned with the overzealous parent."
In more recent years, he's watched as parents have clamored to find ways to improve their children's athletic prowess. He says his advice to them — "don't hire a speed coach, hire a tutor" — is often met with disgust.
"They respond like I've lost a few marbles along the way," he says. "It's not what they want to hear."
Bill Jaworski, a dad who's also a youth baseball coach in New Jersey, says he is often "shocked and chagrined" at how easily some parents lose perspective about their kids' sports.
"These are people you see at the pub, or on the train, or out on the street. They're just normal folks — and then you get them to the game, and they turn into these rabid freakazoids," says Jaworski, who's also a philosophy professor at Fordham University.
It's just different than when he was a kid, Jaworksi says. He played baseball at the local park with friends or in the backyard. Today, he's seeing kids as young as age 7 learning the skills at elite training facilities, some that focus on specific sports and others on overall fitness.
Billy Hirschfield, now 16, was 11 when his dad first took him to an establishment called NX+Level, in Waukesha, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee.
Now a 6-foot-6, 270-pound defensive tackle and end, he's so big and muscular — and so dedicated to his training — that his friends call him "the freak."
"I never in a million years thought it would be like that," says his dad, who figures he spends $8,000 to $10,000 a year on sports, including training and travel to tournaments.
It's all been worth it, he says.
"Why wouldn't you spend that on your son to make him a better person?" his dad asks. "And if he ends up walking away with a scholarship, it was the best investment I could have ever made."
Sports can be seen as a ticket to something bigger, a way to set a kid apart from the pack.
"You try and build the perfect kid," says Adam Naylor, a clinical assistant professor of sports psychology at Boston University who works with parents and athletes, some as young as age 12.
"It leads to overtraining, overuse and an over-committed kid, which has fallout. But it's really tough to see that in the moment."
Naylor recalls one mom who told him: "In this town, if you don't play club soccer, you're told your kid won't make it in life. But we only have money to play town soccer."
She felt guilty that she couldn't afford the more expensive private league. She felt pressured, as many parents do.
Other times, it's the parents doing the pushing — as Worthy sees it, their quest to boost their own self-esteem with their children's accomplishments. He calls it "vicarious glory." He recalls how those moms on the golf course followed their daughters on every golf round and introduced themselves not by their own names but as "so and so's mom."
Still, even he concedes that his competitive parent has shone through occasionally.
He remembers telling a buddy a few years back that his daughter was getting into golf after giving up competitive gymnastics because of injury.
"If she's going to play," the friend advised, "buy her the best gear possible because everybody out there is going to have it."
Did Worthy do it?
"Yep," he says. "Because if you don't, then it's not even fair."
As psychologist Wendy Grolnick sees it, that's just parents doing what they're wired to do — responding to a very primal instinct to protect their children and ensure their survival.
"It's not out of a sense of living through your child or narcissism. Parents love their kids, and they don't want them to miss out," says Grolnick, a professor at Clark University who wrote the book "Pressured Parents, Stressed-out Children: Dealing with Competition While Raising a Successful Child."
The key is to keep it in check.
"There's just so much competition in the air," she says. "Very nice people are feeling this way."

Florida Regulations:
10 gallons whole per harvester per day
*Harvest of egg-bearing crabs prohibited
Sept. 20 - Oct. 4 closed to traps in Gulf state waters beyond 3 miles and in federal waters.
In an effort to identify and retrieve lost and abandoned blue crab traps from Florida, the FWC has established regional blue crab trap closures. These six regional closures last up to 10 days and prohibit recreational and commercial harvest of blue crabs with traps in these areas. The closures alternate coasts every year with closures on the east coast of Florida occurring during the even numbered years and closures on the west coast occurring on the odd years.
Even Year Closures
Odd Year Closures
These closed seasons only apply to standard blue crab traps. The harvest of blue crabs by other gear, such as dip nets and fold-up traps, is permitted during the closures. Traps that are attached to private property such as a dock are not included in the closures.
For more information:
Female blue crabs may be harvested lawfully if they are not bearing eggs. Although it is lawful to keep non-egg bearing female blue crabs, it is a conservation practice to release them unharmed. There has been evidence that the females support the population of the species. Male crabs are capable of mating several times, but females are only able to mate once, after they mature.
If a juvenile female is harvested, there will be no chance that she will be able to reproduce. Additionally, mature females may store sperm in their bodies for several months after mating in order to spawn at a later date. If a mature female is harvested, though she may not exhibit eggs, there is no certainty that she has spawned.
Releasing female blue crabs enhances reproductive capacity and population renewal.

LEXINGTON, Va. – Traveling to Washington & Lee for the Generals' Spring Carnival Meet, the MIT women's track & field team had a number of strong individual performances, including five individual first-place finishes and five NCAA Provisional qualifications.
Alina Gatowski got things started for Tech in the 10,000 meters, cruising to a first-place finish with a provisional qualifying time of 36:11.12, over 22 seconds faster than her nearest competitor, and breaking the Institute record by over six seconds in the process. Tania Morimoto also reached the provisional mark with a time of 37:01.55, good for third place and Sarah Sprague finished sixth in 39:12.60.
Just two weeks removed from her third-place performance in the pentathlon at the NCAA Indoor Championship, Hazel Briner continued to display her versatility by winning the heptathlon with a meet-record 4079 points. Briner finished first or second in five of the seven events, including first-place performances in the 100-meter hurdles, shot put and 200-meter dash.
Portia Jones had a solid overall effort, winning the 100-meter hurdles with a provisional time of 14.56 seconds while taking third in the 400 hurdles (66.59) and fifth in the high jump (4-11.75 feet). The sophomore All-America was also part of the winning 4x400 relay that provisionally qualified with a time of 3:54.28. Jones was joined on the 4x400 relay by Jamie Simmons, Martha Gross and Briner.
Simmons was the top finisher in the 400m hurdles, with her time of 63.62, yet another provisional qualifying mark. Gross had a pair of solid performances in the 400 and 200 meters, placing third and fifth, respectively.
Tech will travel to Troy, N.Y. next weekend for the Engineer's Cup against RPI and WPI. The meet will begin at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 3.

Southern Right Whales, Eubalaena australis
« Database Home Animalia Chordata Mammalia Cetacea Balaenidae Eubalaena australis
Description & Behavior
Southern right whales, Eubalaena australis (Desmoulins, 1822), are characterized by their uniformly dark color and white callosities found on and around the head. They are generally the smaller of the three right whale species (see the North Atlantic right whales, Eubalaena glacialis and North Pacific right whales, Eubalaena japonica). Callosities, which are outgrowths of tough skin, are often used in identifying individual whales, as they are unique to each animal, similar to fingerprints in humans. The largest of these excrescences (callosities) is located on the anterior-most portion of the head and is referred to as the "bonnet." Other excrescences are on the upper edge of the lower jaw, behind the blowhole, and above the eye.
Eubalaena australis is on average between 16-18 m long at maturity, males being slightly shorter than females. It has a rotund appearance, a very large girth relative to the length, with an enormous head (approximately 1/3 the body length). Southern right whales do not have any dorsal fins, nor do they have the grooved throat that is typical of the balaenopterids. The flippers are also broad and relatively short.
Another distinguishing physical feature of southern right whales is the blowhole. The exterior of the blow hole is well-partitioned, resulting in a V-shaped exhaust of condensation and water vapor. Furthermore, uncharacteristic of balaenopterids, southern right whales have a well-developed dermis without fat, whereas most balaenopterids lack a dermis. Southern right whales weigh 36,000-73,000 kg.
Eubalaena australis produce short, low frequency moans and pulses. Also heard, often below and above the water's surface, are the blows of the southern right whales. However, the most common sound produced is a belch-like utterance that averages 1.4 seconds long at a frequency of less than 500 Hz. These whales also produce simple moans in a narrow range of frequencies and complex moans that shift frequencies and overtones. Other sounds created by southern right whales are those caused by the slapping of theirs fins and tails, while rolling over at the surface of the water—usually occurring during mating courtships.
In a common behavior among these whales, called "headstanding", they assume a vertical position and extend the flukes into the air, often rocking back and forth, for as long as two minutes at a time. Research initially indicated that this position was used for feeding on benthic organisms, however is more recently believed to be either a resting position or a courtship stimulus. Southern right whales are also commonly seen breeching—turning in midair and falling into the water with the side or back of the body. This behavior may dislodge parasites from the whale's surface, but is also a display mechanism during mating.
World Range & Habitat
Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean: found only in the southern hemisphere, southern right whales have a circumpolar distribution between 30-50°S, inhabiting sub-Antarctic waters. While avoiding warm equatorial regions, southern right whales remain near continents and island masses. Biomes: temperate coastal, tropical coastal.
Feeding Behavior (Ecology)
Using their long and numerous baleen plates, southern right whales feed on small plankton, including pelagic larval crustaceans and copepods. They are most often observed using one of two feeding techniques. The first, surface feeding, occurs when the whales selectively swim through densely-populated plankton slicks with their mouths wide open and baleen exposed. The other method occurs while submerged, presumably in highly dense populations of plankton.
Life History
Southern right whales, so named because they were historically considered the "right" whale to catch (because they are slow-moving and are usually near the surface), reach reproductive maturity at approximately 10 years of age. The gestation period ordinarily lasts for 1 year, and lactation continues for 4-6 months. Calves, which are born weighing 1,000-1,500 kg and are 5-6 m long, grow at a rate of 3 cm per day.
Southern right whales mate and calve between 20-30°S and mostly in protected bays during the months of June-November. They are polygamous, having up to 7 males per one female. Courtship and copulation is described as being tender and graceful. The duration of courting varies, but usually lasts between 1-2 hours, after which the males and females separate from one another. There seems to be no animosity between males mating with the same female, which is unusual for mammals. It is believed that this passive behavior implies intra-uterine sperm competition.
Conservation Status & Comments
Southern right whale populations are showing a slow increase since international protection in 1935, when over-exploitation nearly eradicated the species. There are estimated to be approximately 3,000-4,000 currently surviving in the southern hemisphere. Aside from international protection, individual countries are also protecting these whales and improving their ability to survive and reproduce.
In Brazil the Right Whale Project has been in effect since 1981. The program's goal is to protect the whales in their breeding grounds off the coast of South Brazil. Program participants monitor and research the current situation, and inform the public about the importance of environmental protection. Since its establishment, the program has, among other beneficial actions, gotten the government for the State of Santa Catarina to declare southern right whales as a state natural monument, thereby assuring its full protection.
Other countries have also vowed to minimize human impacts on whale populations. This idea has been followed through by reducing direct disturbance and coastal industrial activity, as well as increasing awareness of the hazards of oceanic dumping that may lead to bioaccumulation and possible extinction.
Southern right whales, Eubalaena australis, are classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
A taxon is Least Concern when it has been evaluated against the criteria and does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
North Atlantic right whales, Eubalaena glacialis, are classified as Endangered D on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Endangered (see Section V), and it is therefore considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
North Pacific right whales, Eubalaena japonica, are classified as Endangered D on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Endangered (see Section V), and it is therefore considered to be facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Brook Lopez scored 18 points in 17 minutes to lead six players in double figures, and the Brooklyn Nets got a big effort from their reserves in beating the Sacramento Kings 113-93 on Saturday night for their third straight victory.
One night after needing two overtimes to escape with a 115-113 victory in Washington, the Nets made sure the starters weren't too taxed. Deron Williams and Joe Johnson both scored 15 points, but neither had to play even 30 minutes.
Reserves MarShon Brooks and Andray Blatche each scored 15 points and Mirza Teletovic had a career-best 14 as the Nets scored a season-high 65 points in the first half and improved to 5-1 under interim coach P.J. Carlesimo.
DeMarcus Cousins had 28 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings, who had won four of five overall and two straight on the road but were defenseless in the finale of their four-game trip.
The Nets got a huge lift from their reserves in the first meeting this season, when Blatche came off the bench to make his first 10 shots. This time, the production was spread among three players.
The Nets made 10 of their first 13 shots and finished 15 of 21 (71 percent) in the first quarter, but led only 36-31 after John Salmons scored 13 points. The Nets then opened it up in the second while the starters watched.
Teletovic, an NBA rookie who spent most of his pro career in Spain, made a jumper and had seven more points in a 15-2 run that turned a three-point lead into a 51-35 lead midway through the period. Brooks made three straight Nets baskets at one point in the quarter, mostly tough looks where he was well-defended or the shot clock was running down.
It was 65-47 at the break after the Nets made 27 of 40 shots (67.5 percent). Brooks, who was getting inconsistent minutes under Avery Johnson, was one point off his season high.
The Kings were hoping for three consecutive road wins for the first time since March 23-27, 2011, but had little bright spot beyond another strong game from Cousins.
Cousins had a season-high 31 points and career high-tying 20 rebounds Friday in a victory at Toronto. He missed a game last month when he was suspended by the Kings for unprofessional behavior and conduct detrimental to the team but had been on a tear lately, averaging 19.4 points, 14.0 boards and 5.4 assists in the last five games.
Coach Keith Smart, who said both sides have moved past their problems, said Cousins was doing a much better job trusting his teammates and was the obvious key to Sacramento's recent success.
"I think maybe, maybe, he's turned the corner in realizing that if you want to be a star in this league, all the stars allow the other teammates to play and they make them better," Smart said before the game.
Cousins tried to keep the Kings in it, making all five shots in the third period and scoring 12 points, but all that could do was trim the 23-point lead the Nets had early in the quarter down to 16. Blatche had the first two baskets of the fourth to push the lead back to 20 and the Nets cruised from there.
NOTES: Injured guard Tyreke Evans has rejoined the Kings and is expected to start playing again on their five-game homestand. A second opinion on his sore left knee supported the Kings' treatment and rehabilitation regimen. Evans has missed 13 of the last 17 games. … Brooklyn's previous best was 64 points in the first half against Cleveland on Nov. 13. … Saturday was the one-year anniversary of Smart being named the Kings head coach.

UCSB senior outfielder Chris Fox signed a free-agent contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on Wednesday, becoming the eighth Gaucho picked up by a Major League Baseball team this year.
Starting 54 games in 2008, Fox put up career numbers in almost every statistical category. The Redondo Beach native finished the year second on the team in hits (75), third in batting average (.341), at bats (220), runs batted in (39), on-base percentage (.401) and fourth in runs scored (44). A menace on the base paths, Fox swiped 23 bags in 28 attempts, the fifth-highest total in the Big West Conference. He was perfect defensively in the outfield, committing no errors in 76 chances.
"I'm real happy for Chris," UCSB head coach Bob Brontsema said. "He had two outstanding seasons for us and is very deserving to go on and play professionally. We wish him the best."
Fox joined the Gauchos in 2007 after transferring from El Camino College. As a junior, he was named All-Big West Honorable Mention after batting .328 with 67 hits, 11 doubles, 40 runs, 30 RBI and 14 steals in his first season donning the blue and gold.
Seven Gauchos and one committed recruit were selected in last week's Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft.
UCSB finished a solid 2008 season with a 35-21 overall record and tied for third place in the Big West with a 14-10 mark. The Gauchos won 23 games at home at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium.
Scott Flanders is UCSB's associate media relations director.

For all of the pageantry of many weddings, the most important part is that little two-minute bit you can barely see where the couple exchanges rings, does a secret handshake and passes notes to each other. Or whatever it is they're doing up there.
It's one of the most symbolic parts, but it's also the most important environmentally. The biggest waste at a wedding is the smallest object involved (unless you've got some kind of inhuman tree trunk fingers): the ring.
Eco-friendly weddings can make dents in other areas — a reused dress, local flowers, a conscious caterer — but a commercially made ring casts a massive shadow over all of it. A ring mined the standard way generates a ton of waste that will be left in the environment. That's not a figure of speech — one ton is the low end of estimates. The upper end: 20 tons of waste for a single ring.
That's because many commercial mines use heap-leaching, where a cyanide solution is dripped onto a pile of gold ore. The gold dissolves into a mixture that's collected under the ore. The process literally removes the gold from the rock using poison. It couldn't be more heavy-handed if George Orwell wrote it.
But there's hope. Eco-conscious couples are steadily getting more and better options for green weddings, from electronic-only invitations to recycled gold to previously owned dresses to farm-to-table venues that grow most of the food they serve.
But if you want to turn your wedding green, you might struggle when it comes to the actual plants. Teresa Henry, owner of florist Boulder Blooms, says brides and grooms can find eco-friendly options for flowers, but only if they don't cling to the term organic.
"There's very few organic flowers, nearly zero," she says, "because to make a flower look really beautiful it takes some bug control."
Henry says she's learned that keeping a lid on pesticides means sacrificing appearance.
"I had one person who absolutely insisted on organic flowers. I was able to get them, but they had to be shipped in from South America and the quality wasn't that great," she says.
There's still hope on the floral front, though. Henry points to other areas couples can reduce the carbon footprint of their flowers. One way, she says, is by staying in Colorado.
"The best thing you can do for the environment is to locally source as much as possible," she says. She notes that Boulder flowers are likely to receive fewer pesticides due to strict regulations. "Also, you cut out transportation. Usually, local does not mean cheaper, but they're so beautiful."
Colorado flowers are typically 25 percent more expensive than flowers from out of state, Henry says. But labor costs stay the same, so couples would only pay 5 to 10 percent more for the eco-friendly option.
Another green wedding option is to pick up an item you might find just hanging around in a family closet — when it comes to the dress, the greenest choice is to use a previously worn gown.
Marti Matsch, communications director for zero-waste nonprofit Eco-Cycle, calls the dress a good item for reuse, especially if brides value family tradition.
"For my wedding gown, for example, I took my mom's dress in to a tailor who modified it for me," Matsch says in an email. "It was really cool and extra special that way."
Matsch says she's aware of a few local companies that will make new dresses that are better for the environment.
"I have a pal who wore a hemp gown she bought in Littleton that was spectacular," she says.
The nearest store advertising used dresses is Eco Bridal in Denver.
Sara Watts, a jewelry designer at Boulder's Angie Star Jewelry currently planning her eco-friendly May wedding, says she looked into green designers but didn't find anything she liked.
"The brands that I know that are marketing themselves as green are few and far between," she says. "There's only one I know of, and I didn't end up finding a dress through that company."
The dress she chose is "not specifically eco-friendly, but it's certainly not sweatshop labor material," she says. The biggest concern with dresses isn't the impact on the environment, she says, it's "human rights issues."
"It's a different craft," she says.
"It's hard to know what you're buying and what you're supporting with that decision."
With rings, though, the emphasis is most certainly on the environmental impact. The best option is to use recycled gold, say pro-environment Boulder jewelers Todd Reed of Todd Reed Jewelry and Angela Olsgard Tiernan of Angie Star. Old rings, necklaces and other jewelry can be melted down and re-forged into new pieces. Both Angie Star and Todd Reed use 100 percent recycled gold and harvest stones from old jewelry to reuse in new pieces.
"In terms of diamonds, we could just keep making beautiful things over and over again," Reed says. "I think that philosophy is really great."
These jewelers both say they're motivated by doing the right thing, but ultimately, Tiernan says, customers' values are the reason recycled gold is becoming more prevalent.
"I think customers are really driving it. They're asking for sustainable and recycled," she says.
But just how many couples seek the eco-friendly option? It depends who you ask. Henry says they're everywhere.
"We have a lot of experience with [green weddings]," she says. "You have no idea. Because everybody comes in and that's the first thing they request."
Reed says more than 85 percent of his wedding customers are looking for sustainability. But Kim Boos, owner and pastry chef at Tee and Cakes, says only about half of the couples she works with mention eco-friendliness.
The vendors say many couples probably aren't aware that eco-friendly options exist, and if they are, they're afraid their budgets can't accommodate the expense.
"Unfortunately, in the wedding world, lots of people are looking to save money. They're on a budget for sure," Boos says.
"If they don't understand why one company costs 10 percent more than the other, if there's no explanation," Watts says, "it would be easy to go with the cheaper one."
But Tiernan says cost shouldn't be a factor for customers — her rings cost about the same as the rings at the mall, she says.
"As far as I know, the cost is the same, so there's no reason to choose a blood diamond," she says. "There's lots of ways to make it affordable and sustainable."
Another obstacle to eco-weddings is that they might not fit a traditional mold. While Watts and her partner haven't felt torn between tradition and going green, she says she can imagine it happening.
"A lot of weddings are planned with mothers and older generations," she says. "I think convincing them of the value of that might be a little difficult."
Watts says it's a question of staying true to what you care about. She says her wedding — which includes a Napa Valley farm-to-table venue and caterer, planted centerpieces that guests can take home instead of cut flowers, and cotton invitations over paper ones — hasn't been a battle so far. But she hasn't tracked down a wedding cake yet. That's an area where the best options environmentally might not resemble tradition, says Boos.
"One thing that always works well is doing cupcakes instead of a cake," the chef says. She says the difference is how the two are served.
"You don't really need plates. You can use a biodegradable napkin and biodegradable cupcake wrappers," she says.
Skipping plates and silverware means washing fewer dishes. And with many cakes, the impressive structure and style comes at a price.
"Any time you do a wedding cake you use cardboard," Boos says. "We use recyclable cardboard, but still."
Boos says the other step for eco-friendly baking is to use local ingredients whenever possible.
"Our dairy comes from an hour away," she says. "Eighty percent of our ingredients, we partner with local farms."
That's true for eggs and milk as well as seasonal ingredients like raspberries, Boos says. But not everything in a cake can be Colorado-grown. Boos says there's nothing she can do about baking's effect on the environment in some cases.
"The transportation is the same, organic versus non-organic," she says. "[And] there's no sugar plants around here."
It's a good point. There's very little chance of having a wedding without a little waste to go with it. But as long as you don't order the 2,000-pound rock cake with cyanide icing, you'll be doing the environment a favor.

I must admit that my FAVORITE place to shop is CVS Pharmacy. Not many places can you get stuff for free/really cheap or even make money on a purchase. CVS has what are called ExtraCareBucks (basically CVS money that you get for purchasing certain products)
Here is my plan for this week:
Transaction 1
Childrens Allegra 4oz $9.99 (Get back $4.99ecb)
Huggies Wipes $6 (Spend $25 on select wipes and diapers and get $10ecb)
2 Lady Mitchum $3.98
Snickers $0.75 (Get back $0.75ecb)
Coupons Used
Use $4 off $20 purchase, $5/1 Allegra 4oz, (2) $1/1 Mitchum, (2) CVS $1/1 Deodorant.
Pay $7.72 and get back $4.99ecb and a $0.75ecb.
Transaction 2.
2 Huggies Jumbo Packs $20
Coupons Used
Use $4/$20, and (2) $3/1 Huggies coupons from Rejuvinating Beauty (CVS Magazine)
Pay $10 use $4.99ecb and $0.75ecb.
Pay $4.26.
Get back $10ecb from Huggies.
So you'd end up paying a total of $11.98 out of pocket, but you'd leave with $10ecb. Not too shabby concidering you'd get 2 jumbo packs, 1 wipe refill, childrens allegra, a snickers, and 2 deodorants for basically $1.98.

Each time I visit it seems as if there are fewer and fewer "active" posts and like slowly by slowly people just aren't visiting anymore.
Harvey is now 17 months. So adorable and cute. He is talking sooo much and is such a blast to be around. He is learning so much and is doing very well.
He is now a big brother to Alexander (born on St. Patrick's Day). Alexander is doing well and Harvey is such a good big brother. He tries to feed the baby, gives him kisses and gives him hugs when he cries. It is adorable.

So here we on on my son Harvey's 9 month birthday and I see that Harvey never made it to hurricane status. So be it. At least nobody was hurt.
I have news that Harvey will be expecting a new baby sister or brother in March of next year. I am so excited, yet slightly overwhelmed. Two little ones under 18 months. ahh! It will be fun though.
I am so blessed to have a wonderful Husband and beautiful son and a new little one on the way.
lol, if you are on my FB...don't mention anything quite yet. Please. I haven't made the offical "FB" announcement yet...probably won't for a few more months.
Love you all. Miss playing games, chatting, debating and just being a regular on this board.

Bill Would End Daylight Savings Time
ST. MARYS — If legislation introduced by a southwestern Ohio politicians is adopted, Ohioans may no longer have to switch their clocks ahead an hour.
State Rep. Courtney Combs, a Republican who represents the 54th House District, is the primary sponsor of House Bill 478, which would exempt the state of Ohio from participating in daylight savings time. John Adams, who represents the 78th House District, signed on as a cosponsor and said the legislation — introduced Tuesday — makes sense.
"I've talked to a lot of farmers and they really don't seem to care much," Adams said. "You think they would but they don't seem to think it's an issue."
Adams said colleagues challenged the long-held notion that daylight savings time cuts back on energy consumption. He also questioned its roots and its merits today.
"The early proponents wanted extra sunlight so they could spend more time in the golf course," Adams said. "The idea gained traction during World War I when it served a purpose to conserve coal for the military to use. As it's gone on, there's been the belief that it saves electricity when all studies that have been done prove it doesn't save anything in terms of energy costs."
Arizona — with the exception of the Navajo Nation — and Hawaii are the only states that do not adhere to daylight savings time. Until 2005, portions of Indiana did not follow daylight savings time. If Ohio withdraws from the practice, it would put it on a different time format than its neighbors.
"I don't foresee any issues coming of this," Adams said. "As we go the through committee process, all this stuff will be vetted out and if there is something that will be detrimental, it would be examined. I would imagine though something like this would pass."
Adams also questioned the common sense of the measure.
"There doesn't seem to be any logic to be switching time back and forth when you read the studies that have been done," Adams said. "A lot of it has been based on energy policies and the studies have proven it doesn't save any dollars when it comes to energy costs."
Combs told The Evening Leader the daylight savings time issue has been on his radar for several years.
"I've had many people approach me saying what is the deal with this and can you do anything about it," Combs said. "I started researching it to see what can be done about it and I found the states have the discretion to opt out. So then we started researching the pros and cons."
Combs said farmers have told him the matter is moot. He also dismissed the notion daylight savings time conserves energy in today's world.
"That may have been the case many years ago but we're to a point now that it doesn't really matter," Combs said. "We also looked at the business end where some say you have to be on the same time as everyone else. I have a world map of time zones that I pulled up and all over the world there are different countries that use different times and the fact is that it is a conglomerate of time zones."
Combs also noted he believes if Ohio opts out of daylight savings time, the rest of the region would as well.
"I believe if we make the point clear and determine it makes no sense to change clocks twice a year, we will be able to get Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan to come to the same conclusion," Combs said. "It's an interesting discussion and I understand both sides of the issue but I believe I will be able to show through testimony and prove what is going on."


text: Hello, I installed most of my software before installing ISPConfig; this is usually the preferred order-of-operations, as I understand it, which makes sense in that it allows ISPC to determine what is installed and configure itself accordingly. Among the packages I installed was awstats. The problem I'm having is that every 10 minutes I receive an email that results from a cron job that does: Code: [ -x /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh ] && /usr/share/awstats/tools/update.sh The resultant error is: Code: Error: SiteDomain parameter not defined in your config/domain file. You must edit it for using this version of AWStats. Setup ('/etc/awstats/awstats.conf' file, web server or permissions) may be wrong. Check config file, permissions and AWStats documentation (in 'docs' directory). Do I simply need to disable this cron job, e.g., because ISPC calls its own job to compile stats? Or is some other measure required? I don't remember having to perform any configuration of awstats on servers that I've built in the past with ISPC. I have ISPC 22.214.171.124 and haven't modified any of the default values relating to Web-stats in the GUI. Thanks for any help!

Uneventful Rides
A lot of us die hard cyclists spend a fare amount of time pointing out the wrongs of reckless driving and the failures of public infrastructure, all to try and make the world a perfect place for bikes. The problem is, like the sensationalized media stories that make biking in L.A. out to be warfare on wheels, it can skew the perception of reality. Yes in L.A. if you ride a bike you will encounter ass hole drivers, poorly planned streets, and hazardous road conditions. It's the nature of things here.
However the mass majority of riding is pretty uneventful, especially in my home town of Santa Monica. Most drivers give plenty of passing room, a few in fact give too much passing room, and I worry they are going to crash into some center divider trying to give me more space then necessary. Most rides to work, nothing notable happens, especially since I rerouted most of my daily commute to Broadway instead of the more direct but hazardous Olympic. It should be noted here that route planning is absolutely one of the most important factors in having a safe commute.
There is certainly a lot of room for improvement, and in L.A. especially. So we'll keep on fighting for safer streets and more accommodating infrastructure. The truth is though, that everyday millions of people in cities across the country ride their bikes to work, for errands, for recreation, and have a great day. My rides to and from work went by without a hitch all last week and nothing to report on this morning as per usual. So ride a bike, and leave the flak jacket at home.

Bravo! While I try to never let down my guard, the fact is for every 100 miles I ride, only a few hundred feet are what I would call "eventful." Most of it is ho-hum.

BIRON Scotching Scoops That "sensational scoop" in the Yid¬ dish press about secret negotiations between the non-Zionist American group and Arab representatives is not a betrayal Dn the part of the non- Zionists, but a betrayal of confidence On thc part df the so-called scoopsters ...There were conversations between several Arab leaders and non-Zionist gentlemen on the subject of a peaceful relationship between the two races in PalcstiiiCi..These conversations were private talks, a mutual sounding-oul which might have led to a concrete proposal.. .The premature publicity destroyed those peaceful prospects... There is, however, ab ironical climax to the Zionist cries of horror at these negotiations...Just when Dr. Weiz¬ mann threw up his hands indignantly about these "separate and unauthorized negotiations", something happened... Thc London Jewish Chronicle pub¬ lished a "pecrct document" written, by none other than Dr. Weizmann, telling in detail of the Zionist leader's con¬ versations with Ormsby-Gorc a few weeks before the Zionist Congress convened,.,In that document Weiz¬ mann accepts partition provided a few boundary lines of the Jewish State be changed.,. For the Zionist president to accept partition in a conversation with the British Colonial Minister before Ihc Congress had expressed itself on thc subject was anything but straight politics...Weizmann's face must be red now whenever he speaki about the "Arab negotiations in New York"... We Crash Hollywood Hollywood is picking up Shake¬ speare for the screen, as you know... So in one of the musical comedy films, in which Jack Benny has a good time picking artists and models, you will see a poster which reads: "Biron Swim Suits—You Know It> a Biron' '..How does this come to Shake¬ speare, you'll ask us...Just look up "Love's Labor Lost," where Lord Biron of Navarre is one of the main characters...Here are some of the things the Bard says about Lord Biron <<who of course was one of our an¬ cestors |)., ."Biron, the merry, mad-cap lord: Not'a word with him but jest",.."What will Biron say when that he shall hear...How will he scorn! How will he spend his witl How will he triumph, leap and laugh at it!"...His girl iriend tells him "The world's large tongue proclaims you for a man i-cplcte with mocks." and the "pert Biron" says of himself: "Like a demigod here sit I in the sky, and wretched fools* secrets heedfully o'er-eye"...But, to return to Holly¬ wood, what burns us up is that neither Shakespeare, nor we get any royalties for the use of the name we two have made famous.., Hall of Religion The rabbinate, which bitterly op¬ poses calendar reform, is' heartily in favor of any refonn that will prevent Kosh Hashanah from coming during thc Labor Day weekend, as it docs this year, ..Because of thc early High Holy Days there'll be thousands of empty pews in Urban synagogues, while the Jewish summer resorts will do a rushing business ...Isadore Worth of Camden, N. 'J., former As¬ sistant U. S. District Attorney, is be¬ ing groomed for a senior vice-com- mander^hip of the Jewish War Vet¬ erans... Some of the most cockeyed reporting in years was contributed by thc genera] news agencies in their stories on the Zionist Congress...But the prize boner came from the United Press, which reported that the op¬ ponents of partition had organized themselves into the New Zionist Or¬ ganization. . .That's the ^Revisionist outfit, which took this name two years ago...Jewish deaf mutes in New York attend a weekly service at Tem¬ ple Emanu-EI...The'deaf worship¬ ers pay no attention to the rabbi, but keep their eyes glued on Mrs. Tanya Nash, a rabbi's widow, who translates the sermon into the sign language.. Another myth has been smashed by the king of garlic dealers, who re¬ ports that Jews, not Italians, use the most garlic in their cooking... About People The least enviable foreign cor¬ respondent jobs at the.moment are be¬ ing held down by Robert Berkow, United Press manager in Shanghai, : and Morris J.

Sam Stoller, who made the 1936 {ConHnued on page H} Mandates Commission Upholds Parti¬ tion in Principle But Opposes Creation of Jewish and Arab States at This Time GENEVA (WNS)—Approval in principle of thc proposed partition of Palestine as a solution of the Arab- Jewish problem but opposition to the establishment of independent Arab and Jewish states at this time are voiced in the report of the League of Na¬ tions Mandates Commission to the Council of the League, according to thc official summary of its report. The Mandates Commission objects to in¬ dependent states because it holds neither Jews nor Arabs are ready for self-government and advocates a pe¬ riod of apprenticeship under a system of autonomy for each race with com¬ plete power to regulate immigration whilQ Britain retains control of de¬ fense, foreign affairs and customs. As an alternative the Commission sug¬ gests a separate British ragiidate for Arabs and Jews. It approves of a sep¬ arate British mandate for thc holy places in Palestine and criticises the Palestine administratioh's vacillating policy which it holds responsible for some of the trouble. On the other hand it agrees that thc present man¬ date is unworkable. The text of the summary of the re¬ port fallows: "In its concluFions on the 1630 disturbances the commission fully rec¬ ognizes the difficulties in preventing disturbances of this nature, but it is not convinced it would not have been possible to adopt more decisive mea¬ sures at an early date with a view to putting down armed resistance. The 1036 disturbances reveal a state of great political tension, due to the un¬ derlying causes to which reference was made in a preliminary opinion given elsewhere at the Council's request. These causes were largely responsible fnr the great difficulty experienced in putting down the disturbances and for thei continuance of conditions of po¬ litical instability. "In its preliminary-opinion on Pales¬ tine's future the commission, after briefly outlining the date, recommen¬ dations and statement of policy by the mandatory power on which it was asked to advise the Council, summar¬ izes the advantages, disadvantages and the various solutions proposed. "Thc commission considered it nec¬ essary first to give an opinion to the Council on the maintenance of the existing mandate. Aftel* noting the mandate's obligations had not appeared irreconcilable, thc commission states that the inevitable antagonism between the two races' aspirations was further accentuated and exasperated by cir¬ cumstances which could not have been foreseen twenty years ago. Increasing anti-Semitism on the one hand, and growing Arab national feeling on the other, combined to increase thc dif¬ ficulties in maintaining a balance in ap¬ plying the mandate. At the same time a certain fluctuation in policy by the mandatory power tended to en- coiirage the belief gn the part of Arabs that violence could stop Jewish immi¬ gration. Moreover the present man¬ date became almost unworkable, the commission considers, when it was publicly declared to be so by the Royal Commission and the mandatory gov¬ ernment itself.' The commission, there¬ fore, considers it is worth continuing the examination of the advantages and drawbacks of a new territorial solu¬ tion.' "As regards the proposal to with¬ draw the holy places from the d,oniina- tion of Arabs and Jews and place them under a special regime the com- mi<;sio!\ thinks such a step could not but be to thc advantage of general peace, provided this regime is based on the present mandate's Article 28. "If the partition scheme ahould be applied thc commission thinks its suc¬ cess would depend more on its effects on the relations between the Arabs and Jews than on thc territorial solu¬ tion adopted. Any delimitation of new frontiers with whatever wisdom and justice they may be fixed will come in conflict with the same contradictory aspirations and will involve individual suffering, but thc commission thinks it should also be remembered that the Arabs' and Jews' collective sufferings arc not comparable, since vast spaces in the Near East are open to thc for¬ mer, whereas the world is increasinglj being closed to settlement by the latter. "While declaring itself favorable in principle to the examinatibn of the so¬ lution involving the partition of Pales¬ tine the commission docs not thereby endorse the idea of the immediate cre¬ ation of two new indepei\dent States. Such States could hardly meet at the outset the requirements for ter¬ mination of the mandatory regime laid down by the commission and approved by the Council in 1931 relating to settled government, maintenance of territorial integrity, public peace, equal and regular justice to all, adequate financial resourceSj etc. The commis¬ sion therefore considers the prolonga¬ tion of the period of political appren¬ ticeship constituted by the mandate to be absolutely essential both to the new Arab State and the new Jewish State. This apprenticeship might be carried on, thc commission thinks, in one or two forms. Firstly, provisional *can- (Conttnucd on paE^ 2) Temple Services for High HoUdays Are Announced Services for the New Year willSe o.bserved at the Bryden Road Temple on Sunday night, September 5, be¬ ginning at 8:00 p. m., and on Monday morning, September G, at 10:(10 a. m. Rabbi Samuel M. Gup will speak at both of these services. Plans have been completed to take care of large congregations on both of these oc¬ casions. Special Holy Day music is being prepared under the guidance of the new choir leader. Miss Gertrude Schneider. Two changes have taken place in the quartette. These include Mr. Sam Goldman, tenor, and Mrs. Siegfried Bach, contralto. 1 Owing to the fact that no seats are reserved, all being free, it is expected that, as usual, thc congregation will be in their scats previous to the open¬ ing of thc services. Arrangements are being made to issue cards of admis¬ sion for thc evening service to the members and their immediate families, excluding young men who are beyond majority age. Strict enforcement of this rule will be observed. During the past summer, consider¬ able repair work has been doqe to the organ. It was completely dissembled, new felts and tubing installed, and re¬ built. The Sabbath School will open on Sunday morning, SfipL 19, at 9:45 a. m. All children between kindergarten and confirmation ages (5 and 15 years) will be enrolled at that time. Thc High School department, which includes post-Confirmation groups, will open on Sunday morning, October 3rd. Hillel Foundation Head To Attend Big Eastern Conference Rabbi Harry Kaplan, director of the B'Viai B'rith Hillcl Foundation at Ohio State University, left Monday evening for thc east where he will be one of the leaders of the round table dis¬ cussions at thc Institute of Human Relations, Williamstown, Mass., Au¬ gust 29-Scptember 3.

Leads to Talk Thc various agencies by which pub¬ lic opinion is shaped—the press, thc motion picture, the rarlio—will be con¬ sidered, with leading men and women in these fields as Speakers. Round table discussions will be held daily from 12 m, .to 1 p. m. One of these groups will study "The College Campus," and it i^ this section which will have Rabbi Kaplan for one of its leaders.. Other group discu'^sions will be on "The Religious Press," "Adult Edu¬ cation," "Women's prganizations" and ""the Agencies of Public Opinion Look at Themselves." Editor Jii Charge Rev. John LaFargc, associate editor of America, Catholic review of the week, will be the leader of the round table on thc religious press. Hc will open the forum with a discussion Monday, August 30, on "Ways of Ex. tending the Influence of thc Religious Press." At subsequent sessions Dr. Alex¬ ander Brin, editor of the Boston Jew- sh Advocate, and Dr. Guy K. Shiplet, editor of The Churchman, Protestant Episcopal publication, will speak. Rahbi Kaplan ^tt:nded the first Williamstown Institble two years ago. NAZIS INSTITUTE GHET¬ TO IN BERLIN PARKS BERLIN (WNS)—Ghettoization, Nazism's solution for the Jewish problem in Germany, was introduced to Berlin for thc first time when of¬ ficials of the Prenzlauerberg district installed 100 new benches in a public park and inscribed 92 of them wilh thc words "Jews prohibited" and thc remaining eight with the inscription reser\cd for Jews". Der Angriflf, mouthpiece of Propaganda Minister Goebbels, indicated that similar steps will be taken elsewhere. Meanwhile thc anti-Jewish drive continued in other spheres with Min¬ ister of the Interior Frick forbidding any but Jews to patronize Jewish- owned bookshops and decreeing a ban on thc abandonment of Jewish names by Jews but specifically recommend¬ ing such changes in thc case of Aryans or persons with only a small percent- JEWISH AGENCY COUNCIL CLOSES Adopt Resolution Authorizing Round Table Parley With Arabs and Negotiations With England on Jewish State BERLIN (WNS) ^ The daily good deed implicit in member¬ ship in thc Boy Scouts can best be aciiicved by waging war on the Jews who "are the devils of the world," Julius Streicher told 400 Hungarian SCouts who 'are visiting Gennany.

Four Berlin Jews charged with cir¬ culating copies of the letter Thomas Maun wrote to the dean of Bonn Uni¬ versity in reply to an announcement that Bonn's honorary degree to him had been rescinded, were sentenced to terms of imprisonment from five to nine months. . NEW YORK (WNS)—Debarred from emigrating because most coun¬ tries refuse to admit stateless per¬ sons, 250 stateless Jewish families in Germany, most of whom came to Ger¬ many after the Russian Revolution, are in a desperate plight, according to report received by thc Joint Dis¬ tribution .Committee. Prevented by international law from expelling them, the Nazi regime is seeking to force a 'general exodus of the stateless Jews by denying them the right to work and imposing special difficulties upon them when they seek relief and .education for their children.

LOUIS (WNS)~As a pro¬ test against the proposed display of the swastika in St. Louis' German Day celebration, the German Liberty League, "an American group inter¬ ested in German cultural affars, but opposed to the injection of any for¬ eign politics," will boycott the celebra¬ tion. Spokesmen for the Liberty Union called the swastika "a symbol of religious, racial and class an¬ tagonism." Levi Heads Odd Fellows - BUFFALO. N, Y. (WNS)—Jacob Levi, of Rochester, former deputy grand master, was elected grand mas¬ ter of the Grand Lodge of the In¬ dependent Order of Odd Fellows, it was announced here after 'the results of the June election were made public.. Cantor P. Gcllraan At no other time of the year does the Jew stand in greater awe and re¬ spect in the synagogue than on the High Holidays, and it is but natural that he should try to have his place of worship pleasant and comfortable, and surround it with a spiritual at¬ mosphere that \\ill lend glory to the name ui Israel. Bearing this in mind, the president and officers of the Agudalh Acliim congregation are leaving nothing undone to make the approaching Jiolidajs most enjoyable for the worshippers. In addition to the rabbi who graces the pulpit with his most inspiring ser¬ mons thruout the year, no other con¬ gregation ill thc city can boast of a cantor of the ability of Mr. P. Gell¬ man. Cantor Gellman left an unfor¬ gettable impression on all those who had the privilege of hearing him con¬ duct services at the Agudath Acliim Synagogue for tbe past few years. There is no doubt that he will excel his previous efforts on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur this year.' Cantor Gellinan has a tenor voice of unusual appealing quality. It is large enough to fill every riopfc and cbrher of tliie spacious synagogue, having at the same time a velvety smoothness which enables him to sing right into the hearts of, the listeners. Cantor Gellman will conduct special Slichos services at the Ai^udath Achim Syna¬ gogue at midniglit Saturday (tonight), as well as Rosh Hashonah services on Sept. Sth, Olh and 7th, and Vom Kip¬ pur services on Sept 14th. and 15th. Tickets for the liolidays can be pro- (Continued on page 2) Jewish War Vets of U. S. Plan Patriotic Hall of Fame at World Fair NEW YORK (WNS)—A photo¬ graphic hall of fame of 150 of the greatest Jewish patriots of American history from 1789 to 1939 is being planned by the- Jewish War Veterans of the United States as the high¬ light of its proposed exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. All Jewish survivors of the wars of the United States will be asked to serve as members of a jury to select the 150 patriots from a panel of several hundred names, according to an an¬ nouncement by Martin Horowitz, Michael Weinstein and Louis Free¬ man, national co-chairmen of the com¬ mittee arranging for the organiza¬ tion's 41st annual convention to be held in Asbury Park, N. J., from September 23d to 2fith. Beth Jacob Cong. Now . Ready for the High Holidays . Through the splendid cooperation of the Sisterhood, the Beth Jacob Syna¬ gogue has this year been completely redecorated. The arrangement com¬ mittee urges members and others who wish to pray at the Beth Jacob on the High Holidays to make their reserva¬ tions between the hours of 7 and 0:30 on any evening of this coming week. At midnight this evening (Satur¬ day) (^itor Newmark will officiate at the Slichas services to which the public is cordially-invited. Rabbi L. Greenwald will deliver his sermons on both days of Roah Hashonah and Yom Kippur, the themes to be announced in next week's issue of the Chronicle. ZURICH (WNS)—With the adop-, tion of a compromise resolution dc-1 signed to placate Zionists and non- Zionists by approving tlie' Zionist demand for negotiations with Great Britain on thc creation of a Jewish state in Palestine and also the non-, Zionist demand for a round-table con¬ ference with the Arabs looking to a peaceful Arab - Jewisii understanding in an undivided Palestine, the Council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine concluded its stormiest meeting since its creation in 1929. Aimed at placat¬ ing thc American nou-2ionists, who had vigorously opposed a Jewish state, and at satisfying the Zionists who bad insisted on carrying out the Zionist Congress' mandate iof entering nego¬ tiations for a Jewish state, the resolu¬ tion in effect authorized negotiations for both ends. With this difficulty eliminated, the Council also reached agreement on the other thorny issue dividing Zionists and non-Zionists— parity for thc non-Zionists in the Agency Executive—by giving Ihe non- Zionists five instead of three members on thc ten-man executive, and naming six non-Zionists to the political com¬ mittee of six chosen by the Zionist Congress to negotiate with Great Britain. The text of the resolution reads as follows: 1. "The fifth session of thc council of the Jewish Agency for Palestine takes note of the political resolution adopted by the twentieth Zionist Con¬ gress and expresses its agreement with its main conclusion. 2. "The council rejects the asser¬ tion of the Palestine Royal Commis sion that the Palestine mandate has proven unworkable. The council' di rects the executive to resist any infringenlent of the rights of the Jew¬ ish people internationally guaranteed by the Balfour Declaration and the mandate. The council condemns the 'lialiative proposals' put forward by the Royal Commission as a poHcj' for implementing the mandate, which in¬ volve an arbitrary curtailment of Jew¬ ish immigration, abandonment of the principle of economic absorptive ca¬ pacity as a basis for immigration policy and severe limitations on Jewish land settlement. 3. "The Council expresses its strong¬ est opposition to His Majesty's Gov¬ ernment's decision to fix a political high le\el for Jewisii immigration in all categories for the next eight months, which it regards as a viola, tion of Jewish immigration rights and undertakings repeatedly given in this regard by His Majesty's Government and confirmed by the League of Na¬ tions. 4. "The council reaffirms the decla¬ ration of its previous session express¬ ing readiness to reach a peaceful set¬ tlement with the Arabs of Palestine based on a free development of both the Jewish and Arab peoples and mu¬ tual recognition of their respective rights. It directs the executive to per¬ severe in its effort to this end and with this object in view to request His Majesty's Government to convene conference of Jews and Arabs of Palestine with a view to exploring the possibilities of making a peaceftil settlement between Jews and Arabs in and for an undivided Palestine on the basis of the Balfour Declaration and thc mandate. 5. "While regarding the partition scheme put forward by the Royal Commission aa inacceptable, the Coun¬ cil empovyers the executive to enter negotiations with a view to ascertain¬ ing the precise terms of His Majesty's Government for the proposed estab¬ lishment of a Jewish State. In such negotiations the executive shall not commit cither itself or the Jewish Agency, but in the event of the emer¬ gence of a definite scheme for the establishment of a Jewish State, such a scheme shall be brought before a special session of the council for con¬ sideration and decision." The new Jewish Agency Executive consists of the following: ZIONISTS —prof. Selig Brodesky, Eleazar Kap¬ lan, Fisliel Rotenstrcich, Isaac-Griien- baum, Rabbi J. L. Fishman, Moshe Shertok and David Beii Gurion; NON-ZIONISTS —Dr. Maurice J. Karpf, Dr, Werner Senator, Dr. Maurice Hexter, Dr. Arthur Ruppin and XIrs. Edward Jacobs, the latter being the new members, although they are members of die Zionist organi¬ zation. Menahem Ussishkin,, president of the Jewish-National Fund, and Dr. Nahum Goldman, Agency representa¬ tive at Geneva, were made ex-officio members of thc Executive. In accord¬ ance wilh thc usual custom of electing thc president of the World Zionist Or¬ ganization to head the Jewish Agency, Dr. Chaim Wcizirtann was.- re-elected president. Louis Lipsky and Dr. Karpf wei% selected as thc Agency's representatives iu thc United States, with Mr. Li|)sky being accorded mem¬ bership in the Executive. Lord Mel- chett and Morris- Rothenberg were re¬ elected chairman and co-chairman, re¬ spectively, of the Agency Council. To the polilical commission which will negotiate with Great Britain the .Agency named as non-Zionist members Felix M. Warburg, Lord Reading, Lionel Cohen of Loudon, Sir Osmond d'Avigdor (joldsmid of London, Prof. Herbert Speyer of Belgium and Ne¬ ville Laski of London. The Zionist members, elected by the Zionist con¬ gress, are Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Prof, Lewis 'Namier of Manchester, Harry Sacher of London, Rabbi Meier Ber¬ lin, Mizrachi leader. Prof. Felix Frankfurter and Leonard. Stem, ex- officio member, Polish Jewish Relief Drive Turned Down hy Wealthy English Jews LONDON (WNS)—The unwill-- ingness of England's wealthy Jews to contribute to a special fund for the relief of Polish Jewry has forced rhe Board of Deputies of British Jews to abandon plans ior a Polish Jewish relief drive. The well-to-do Jews are reported to have argued that they cannot do anything for Polish Jewry at this time because they are still raising funds for German Jewry. To meet this situation the Federation of Jewish Relief Associations of Eng¬ land has issued its own appeal for thc Polisli Jews but this plea has not re¬ ceived tJie support of the Board of Deputies. As a condition of its sup¬ port the Board had insisted that the Federation turn over all money it raises to the Joint Distribution Com¬ mittee but the Federation insisted on distributing the funds in its own way.

Scotching Scoops That "sensational scoop" in the Yid¬ dish press about secret negotiations between the non-Zionist American group and Arab representatives is not a betrayal Dn the part of the non- Zionists, but a betrayal of confidence On thc part df the so-called scoopsters ...There were conversations between several Arab leaders and non-Zionist gentlemen on the subject of a peaceful relationship between the two races in PalcstiiiCi..These conversations were private talks, a mutual sounding-oul which might have led to a concrete proposal.. .The premature publicity destroyed those peaceful prospects... There is, however, ab ironical climax to the Zionist cries of horror at these negotiations...Just when Dr. Weiz¬ mann threw up his hands indignantly about these "separate and unauthorized negotiations", something happened... Thc London Jewish Chronicle pub¬ lished a "pecrct document" written, by none other than Dr. Weizmann, telling in detail of the Zionist leader's con¬ versations with Ormsby-Gorc a few weeks before the Zionist Congress convened,.,In that document Weiz¬ mann accepts partition provided a few boundary lines of the Jewish State be changed.,. For the Zionist president to accept partition in a conversation with the British Colonial Minister before Ihc Congress had expressed itself on thc subject was anything but straight politics...Weizmann's face must be red now whenever he speaki about the "Arab negotiations in New York"... We Crash Hollywood Hollywood is picking up Shake¬ speare for the screen, as you know... So in one of the musical comedy films, in which Jack Benny has a good time picking artists and models, you will see a poster which reads: "Biron Swim Suits—You Know It> a Biron' '..How does this come to Shake¬ speare, you'll ask us...Just look up "Love's Labor Lost," where Lord Biron of Navarre is one of the main characters...Here are some of the things the Bard says about Lord Biron <

Whether or not she's your favorite Bond girl, Eva Green is undeniably beautiful as Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale. So we are especially confused as to why she would take her lovely long locks and turn them into this veritable nest of hair at the BAFTA awards in London. And are those black streaks over her natural brown color? We've seen big hair gone bad before, but this is just a little too Bride of Frankenstein for us. Tell us: What do you think of Eva's hairdo?

OMAK Okanogan County residents may get their first taste of winter this weekend.
A winter storm watch for the Methow Valley and other parts of north Okanogan and Ferry counties was issued Friday by the National Weather Service, effective through today, Sunday.
The notice called for 5-9 inches of heavy snow above 4,000 feet, and as much as 14 inches above 5,000 feet.
A hazardous weather outlook is predicting a "vigorous storm system" through Thursday with rain, wind and a chance of snow nearly every day.
As of Friday, the chance of precipitation each day was around 20-30 percent, with temperatures in the high 30s and low 40s.
Reactions on the Chronicle's Facebook page included disbelief, annoyance and excitement.
"Can it please wait another week?" Omak resident Crystal Hammer Newport said.
Riverside resident Bill Bond asked if this means he might actually get a chance to use his new all-terrain vehicle with a snowplow.
Local retailers are already helping residents get winter-ready.
Les Schwab, 712 Okoma Drive, was busy Friday putting studded tires on customers' vehicles.
Studded tires became legal Nov. 1.
"We're in full swing right now," Assistant Manager Robert Engelen said.

New York was discussing a trade that would send Chapman to the Chicago Cubs as part of a swap that would bring 19-year-old shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres to the Yankees, a person familiar with the discussions told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because talks were ongoing and New York owner Hal Steinbrenner had not made any final decision.

Phoronix: FreeBSD 8.0 Benchmarked Against Linux, OpenSolaris
With the stable release of FreeBSD 8.0 arriving last week we finally were able to put it up on the test bench and give it a thorough look over with the Phoronix Test Suite. We compared the FreeBSD 8.0 performance between it and the earlier FreeBSD 7.2 release along with Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 on the Linux side and then the OpenSolaris 2010.02 b127 snapshot on the Sun OS side.
No announcement yet.

FreeBSD 8.0 Benchmarked Against Linux, OpenSolarisTags: None
[QUOTE=phoronix;101793]Phoronix: FreeBSD 8.0 Benchmarked Against Linux, OpenSolaris
So I read the test suite hardware was an IBM/Lenovo T61, which runs a 32 bit dual core Centrino cpu. Some people had issues with the OpenSSL RSA
4096-bit performance under OpenSolaris 2010.02 beating the linux OS results down.
I just want to say, I know that in order for benchmarks to be useful we like to see the various OS'es installed on the same hardware. However, if you REALLY need to get a great 'OpenSSL RSA 4096-bit'-type result, the Sun SPARC cpu (T2Plus) has (8) onboard crypto accelerators built-in to the hardware. If your benchmark suite can run on SPARC cpus, it should produce an OpenSSL result ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE beyond what an Intel Centrino can do (and it's priced accordingly too).

Oops, my bad. The CPUs are six core, not quad core. So all machines have 8 CPUs and 48 cores. Which is clearly stated if you closer read the white paper on SAP home page.

I understand that if SUN links to those white papers, you guys dismiss those white papers as "propaganda". But if SAP hosts those white papers, then it is not SUN propaganda anymore. Then it is maybe SAP propaganda.
Or, maybe SUN should not have pointed to those links. Instead SUN should have waited until you guys discovered them by yourself. If you discover that white paper by yourself, then you could not accuse them of being SUN propaganda. If SUN links, then that link is useless propaganda. The trick is that SUN must not link. But how will we discover that link, if no one points them out?
In hind sight, I should have pointed to those white papers on SAP web page myself. Then you guys could not have accused them of being SUN propaganda. Next time, I will not point to SUN web page (that points to the benchmark/white paper). Instead, I will point to the white paper/benchmark directly myself.Last edited by kebabbert; 12-14-2009, 09:29 AM.

Here is a SAP benchmark on 32 cores, which is more interesting for benching scalability and large scale systems for Enterprises. Solaris 10 is 25% faster than Linux, using slower CPUs. Remember, this is not OpenSolaris which is in alpha stage. But it is S10 which is sharp released OS. However, S10 will be replaced with modern OpenSolaris. It will kill everything, when done.
Solaris: 8 CPU, 32 cores. 2.6 GHz
Linux: 8 CPU, 32 cores. 2.8 GHz
Windows: same setup as Linux
See the official pdf benchmark from SAP website here.
The problem is utilization. Solaris is close to 100% utilization on all cores. Windows is down to 87% utilization on all cores. In other words: Windows doesnt scale to well. Nor does Linux. The cores are not fully pegged. Solaris cores are fully pegged so scales better: 25% faster than Linux, on slower hardware. 21% faster than Windows, on slower hw.

text: iPhone 5 is prone to bending. It was a buy, now a no-buy Instead of using Aluminum 6061-T6 (tempered), Apples uses regular Aluminum 6061, which is so soft any stress will bend it. So you can't sit on it, and it will bend by itself if, internally, there is enough stress from screws and glue. It will bend at the weakest point, usually the volume buttons because that is where the big holes are on the outer metal that is holding the integrity of the iPhone 5. I am hoping they can change to 6061-T6 aluminum. "HOPING" because using it may interfere with the precision of the cuts, which may make it impossible. It may add weight to the device though. Also, SCUFFGATE is real. Instead of using type III anodizing (hard anodizing), Apple uses instead type II anodizing. Which is why all over the internet your iPhone 5 has these dents and specks. It is a no sale until Apple uses 6061-T6 Aluminum or 7075 Aluminum, and uses type III anodizing for the outer coat of the aluminum. Or go back to using stainless steel. I am surprised they didn't catch these problems during prototyping and designing stages. I think they will only fix it if enough people want them to use the new type of aluminum or anodizing process. I don't think this is a minor problem. Update: I've added some links and youtube videos that I found. Hope they are useful. http://www.tekcore.co.uk/2012/10/10/iphone-5-bend-gate/ From this site: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1496543 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1465403 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1494118 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1459792 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1452478

Anyone buying anything anymore? I picked up GI Joe v1.3 from Target this morning and some random junk from a video chain that's closing up shop.
I still buy tons of movies... it just seems weird telling everyone about my weekly list.
Not much for me lately, aside from that same GI Joe set you mentioned.
I received a timeless cult classic in the mail today, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.
