The University of Nebraska ENACTUS team (formerly SIFE) is truly a world class student organization. The organization was founded in 1988 with only eight members. Since then it has experienced exponential growth. Currently, we have 60 active members from 8 different countries and 20+ majors. UNL Enactus has won more than 30 regional and national awards recognizing our dedication to lifelong learning, practicing, and teaching of free enterprise and entrepreneurship.
They are now ranked in the top 40 of over 600 teams in the United States.
Each year, projects vary. Some years we may have the same as the last, but others may be entirely new.
What each project has in common each year is that they benefit some sort of community need. It is our
mission, along with Enactus Worldwide, to impact people, increase profit, and sustain our planet.
UNL Enactus has five projects this year, in addition to owning three non-profit businesses that fund our projects.
Two of the businesses we run are the Daily Drip and Ground State Cafe, which operate out of the College of Business
Administration and Jorgensen Hall. These coffee shops provide a place for students and faculty to get a quick drink
or snack between classes, as well as a place to lounge and relax during breaks. We are now offering Chinese food
prepared on Thursdays from the Shen Cafe, which is available during lunch.
The second is UNL Surplus Solutions, an eBay business owned and managed by Enactus. We take old equipment and materials
from all around UNL and sell them online, keeping some to fund projects and giving the rest back to the University.
Not only is it a great form of revenue, it is a way to recycle materials that would otherwise become pollution. It
also provides an internship for local high school students to get an entrepreneurial experience before they even get
to college.

Our Rich Friends Don't Understand Why We Can't Make Date Night
Do we have to tell them we can't afford to socialize?
Dear Friend or Foe,
Our old friends "Jim" and "Paula" always invite my husband and me along on their Saturday date night, but we can afford to go only once a month. Both Jim and Paula have well-paying jobs and little debt. Meanwhile, my husband and I have faced some setbacks over the last few years (namely, unemployment) and are working to rebuild our savings while raising a toddler. We still see Jim and Paula socially but under more affordable circumstances and not as frequently.
Now Paula is asking me if everything is OK and hinting that she's worried that there's something amiss in our friendship. I'm hesitant to tell her that we're trying to be more frugal—I feel like this is personal information—and I don't want to be seen as their "poor friends." What's more, money seems like such a taboo thing to talk about. How do we navigate around Jim and Paula's constant invitations without seeming like tightwad stick-in-the-muds? Or do we even need to explain our circumstances? Jim and Paula may be slightly out of touch, but they're good people.
Cheap for a Reason
Dear CFAR,
You intuit correctly that money may well be the last taboo subject in polite society. (Witness Slate's recent article on anal sex!) That said, I don't believe you have any reason to fear informing close friends that you're trying to be frugal and are therefore limiting your movie and dinner nights to one per month. Surely, Jim and Paula know there's been a major recession since '08 (i.e., you're not the only ones rebuilding). And even if they're child-free, they're likely to realize that going out when you've got kids means shelling out yet more money for a babysitter. What they obviously don't realize is that, right now, for you guys, the shelling hurts.
I think you're being unfair to Paula in allowing her to imagine that you and your husband find hanging out with them to be repugnant, when this is only about money. If you're worried she'll think you're angling for a hand-out, preface your confession by saying you're not looking for pity or help; you just want her and Jim to know that your AWOL-ness has nothing to do with their company. On that note, if you're really keen to see these two on a regular basis, why don't you guys establish a monthly night in which Jim and Paula come over to your house for Scrabble and pizza. That way, you'll get the social life without the savings deduction.
Friend or Foe
Dear Friend or Foe,
Senior year of college, my best friend "Ann" and I were housemates with four others. In theory, we all shared household duties. But when it was my turn to clean, I scrubbed the place within an inch of its life, knowing it might be a while before it happened again. One day, Ann came to me and said she felt my cleaning sprees were reprimanding of her and the others. I explained that I found cleaning to be cathartic. That was the only overt conflict Ann and I ever had. And we remained close for the rest of college. She suffered from severe depression, and I remember sitting with her for hours while she agonized over boyfriends, work, studies, and money. She, in turn, offered to get me hired to replace her at work when she found another job.
After college, Ann and I both stayed in town, though in our own apartments. One day she proceeded to give me a laundry list (no pun intended) of complaints she had with me as a housemate and as a friend. I was shocked and ended the friendship. We tried to restart things once via e-mail. But when she started sharing all her woes with me once again, I balked. I felt I'd already held her up once before, only to be knocked on my back—and I didn't want to get hurt again. Yet as time has gone by, I've found that I miss the closeness of my college friendships. This spring, I expect to see Ann at the wedding of a mutual friend. Should I contact her beforehand and try to patch things up? And if we do restart our friendship, is there any way to avoid a constant re-evaluation of our rocky history?
Wary but Lonely
Dear WBL,
In all the time you were in college, you and your best friend, Ann, had one not-even-blow-up—about who was doing the Windex-ing! Yet when, post-college, she confronted you with complaints about your behavior, you ended the friendship just like that? No one likes being taken to task. But isn't it true you could also have put down your defenses and, operating under the assumption that no one is perfect, actually listened (and even apologized)? My suspicion is that, rather than having been offended by Ann's charges, you were actually looking for an escape route from her clutches. You also say you curtailed contact for a second time after she started telling you everything that was wrong in her life and that you "didn't want to be hurt again." Again, I suspect that the real issue was that you didn't want to be burdened (or bored) again by Ann's problems. Which is your right. Being friends with chronically depressed people can be especially taxing. I just think you need to be honest about why you ended the friendship (twice) before attempting to rehabilitate it for a third time.
Please also note that there's a huge difference between missing the intensity of one's college friendships and missing the actual friends with whom you were once intense. In short, unless you're primarily interested in reminiscing about that awesome Oktoberfest kegger at Sigma Chi senior year, it seems to me that you'd do just as well to build stronger ties to newer friends. You might also want to keep in mind that your female friendships will probably never be as love affair-ish as they were when you were 19 or 20. Why? Not only were you undoubtedly more impressionable back then, but it's impossible as an adult to replicate the particular intimacy of living in a house with six ovulating individuals—unless you join a nunnery (or a brothel).
Friend or Foe
Dear Friend or Foe:
When my friend "Lisa" and I met at work, she was single, didn't have many local friends, and was living with her parents. My husband, "Dean," and I gave her free access to our house, and she was here more often than not, becoming our permanent "third wheel." Early last year, she decided it was time to look for a house for herself. I spent a year helping her with her search and going to open houses. Then, to our relief—my husband and I were more than ready to have some time to ourselves!—she hit it off with one of Dean's co-workers, "Aaron."
Lisa is fiercely private. After she began dating Aaron, she told me that she could no longer confide in me because I'd repeat anything she said to Dean, who would talk it over with Aaron. She doesn't know that Aaron goes to work and tells Dean all of Lisa's secrets, including the intimate details of their sex life. (Dean has forbidden me from mentioning Aaron's loose lips to Lisa because he works in a very small office and can't handle the fallout.) Dean has also repeatedly asked Aaron to stop—to no avail.
Aaron's latest revelation is that, after decades of tax trouble, Lisa's parents filed for bankruptcy last year, and Lisa actually bought their house off them last June, so that they could continue to have a roof over their heads. Which means that a) Lisa was flat-out lying to me about her own real estate search for at least six months; and b) she trusted Aaron with the information after two months of dating him but cut me out completely. Now I'm doubting that Lisa and I were ever really friends. Do I tell her that I know, and say I found out through public records? Do I tell her about Aaron being a blabber-mouth? Or should I just cut her off?
Feeling Had
Dear FH,
Aaron is not the issue here. People talk: Your husband, for one, apparently had no qualms about telling you what Aaron told him! This is about Lisa. On that note, I think you have every reason to be peeved at her for wasting your time considering wallpaper patterns while she was secretly transferring the deed on her parents' home. That said, it's possible that she felt ashamed on her parents' behalf and believed she was protecting their privacy. It's also possible that the third-hand version of the story you heard is not the correct one. Perhaps Aaron or your husband got the dates mixed up, and the house transfer only recently went through, in which case Lisa wasn't misleading you at all. You'll know the truth only if you ask Lisa herself. If you decide to do so—and I think you should—I'd be honest about how you heard the news. You'll defeat your purpose if you start lying yourself.
You'll also hurt your case if you make this about Lisa having picked Aaron over you as her closest confidante. Just because you let the woman hold the popcorn bowl while the three of you direct streamed Hot Tub Time Machine doesn't mean she has an obligation to tell all. Also, you say you were grateful when Aaron took Lisa off your hands! So why the jealousy now?
Please also note that sex is the closest thing we have to a truth serum. This is why we inevitably end up telling our bedmates far more than anyone else. Which brings us back to you and your husband: Best to give the guy a "heads up" before you berate Lisa. If he tries to talk you out of it on the grounds that Aaron will kick him in the nose, point out that if he didn't want you to know about Lisa's dirty laundry, he shouldn't have told you! (You might also add that your friendship with Lisa means a lot to you, and you see no way forward without—to use a horrid cliché—"clearing the air.")

The current generation knows Joe Morgan as the voice of ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, but those in the baseball world know him as the best second baseman of all-time.

Morgan is best known for his days with the Cincinnati Red's famed "Big Red Machine" from 1972 to 1979 in which he helped his team to two World Series titles.
Joe Morgan was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1987, shortly after his 22-year big league career came to an end, and was later inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990. His post baseball career includes time in the booth as an announcer for ABC, NBC and ESPN's coverage of major league action.
Currently Morgan serves as a member of the board of the Baseball Assistance Team, which helps MLB, minor league and Negro League players through medical and financial hardships. In 2010 he re-joined the Reds as a special advisor to baseball operations, in which he provides valuable insight on some of the franchise's most important decisions.

Weekday Warriors 2011: 11-8
This week on Weekday Warriors, top-ranked Harrison loses a shocker to Brother Rice, Allen Gant puts up big numbers in defeat, I catch up with Matt Godin, Drake Johnson enters the commitment updates in style, and we get first-hand reports on both Sione Houma and Chris Wormley.
2012 Commits
TN OL Blake Bars
Montgomery Bell defeated Briarcrest Christian, 40-14, in a first-round playoff matchup.
This week: The Big Red (6-5) host Baylor on Friday in the second round of the Tennessee state playoffs.
OH LB Joe Bolden
Bolden tipped a pass to himself and turned it into a one-yard interception return for a touchdown as Colerain blew out Walnut Hills, 60-6, in their first-round playoff game. He also pinned Walnut Hills inside their 20 with a 30-yard punt, the only one of the game for Colerain.
This week: The Cardinals (10-1) host St. Xavier on Saturday.
MI OL Ben Braden
Rockford defeated Grand Ledge, 42-14, becoming the first team to score more than two touchdowns in a game against Grand Ledge this season. They accomplished that feat in the first quarter, and Braden helped block for a Rockford attack that racked up 220 yards and three touchdowns through the air and another 115 yards and two TDs on the ground.
This week: Rockford hosts Grand Blanc on Saturday at 1 in a regional final matchup.
OH DE Pharaoh Brown
Brown's season ended two weekends ago, as Brush finished the season with a 4-6 record.
KY S Jeremy Clark
No stats to report for Clark as North Hopkins defeated Allen County, 24-14, in their first-round playoff game.
This week: The Maroons host Franklin-Simpson on Friday in the second round of the playoffs.
MI TE Devin Funchess
Funchess hauled in one catch for 21 yards and had a handful of tackles (including one TFL) on defense for Harrison, but the Hawks fell to Brother Rice by a score of 30-7 in a district final upset featured in this week's Future Blue Originals. Funchess was limited in the second half after coming down hard going for a jump ball, appearing to injure his right leg, although he played through the pain.
This week: Harrison, last year's Division 2 state champs, finish the season with a 10-1 record.
Allen Gant scores a touchdown in Southview's playoff loss. (Photo credit: Amy E. Voigt, Toledo Blade)
OH S Allen Gant
Gant caught nine passes for 158 yards, including an 18-yard TD, but Southview yielded 27 unanswered points in the second half en route to falling to McKinley, 49-21, in the first round of the state playoffs.
This week: The Cougars host McKinley on Saturday at 7 in the first round of the state playoffs.
MI DT Matt Godin
Godin texted me that he recorded 11 tackles as Catholic Central took down Canton, 21-14, to win the district title. The Shamrock defense held Canton to just 277 yards of total offense. I was able to catch up with Matt at the Harrison-Brother Rice game—where he was pulling for his fellow Catholic League squad—and he said he was happy with his and the team's performance, as well as being impressed by the play of Funchess, Mario Ojemudia, and Brother Rice linebacker Jon Reschke ("he hits hard"). Godin is looking forward to his regional final matchup against Pioneer, who features Michigan's newest commit, Drake Johnson—Godin was aware that Pioneer ran their offense almost entirely through Johnson, and seemed excited for what will be a major battle in the trenches.
This week: The Shamrocks host Pioneer on Saturday at 1. If any enterprising MGoReaders want to scout the game (I'll be watching Michigan, since it's a 3:30 kickoff this week), I'd love to hear some reports on Godin, Wyatt Shallman, and Drake Johnson.
UT FB Sione Houma
Houma was limited to 62 yards on 18 carries as Highland fell to Logan in the second round of the playoffs, 28-13. Stopping Houma was a major point of emphasis for Logan:
Michigan-bound fullback Sione Houma was held to 62 yards on 18 carries a week after rushing for more than 200 yards.
"We weren't going to let him beat us," Favero said of Houma. "... We hung in there and did a nice job tackling him. We were fortunate he didn't have any huge plays."
We also have a reader report from MGoUser dcallen39, who sent this in via email:
First, statistically Houma got 17 carries for 64 yards (my brother and I tried to track the yardage as best as we could from our seats). I'm not sure how he has been used in other games but Houma was mostly used as a full back running a dive. I only noticed 3 of his runs going out to the edge and usually he produced well out there. Highland as a team looked sloppy with their quarterback Anthony Smithson running a wishbone type offense with little ability to make good decisions or any throws. I never saw a Logan defensive back lined up more than 6 yards off the line of scrimmage. Houma in general has a large lower body with big legs moving his listed 210 pound body. His upper body looks a little small for a fullback, but he seems to have room to grow. On defense I counted about 4 solo tackles for Houma, who lines up as the outside linebacker. He also seemed to be involved with about 3 other tackles.
I actually ended up talking to Houma's mom and his brothers for a moment; they were excited about Sione going to Michigan and they hope to be able to visit him out there when he is playing.
The Rams finish the season with a 7-4 record.
MI LB Royce Jenkins-Stone
Jenkins-Stone carried the ball six times for 15 yards and a four-yard touchdown and also caught two passes for 46 yards and a six-yard TD as Cass Tech knocked off Dearborn Fordson, 33-7, to win their district title.
This week: The Technicians head to Lake Shore High School to face Shane Morris and Warren De La Salle on Friday at 7. I'll be there for this week's Future Blue Originals.
MI RB Drake Johnson
Michigan's newest commit rushed for 347 yards and four touchdowns on 36 carries while also completing his lone pass attempt for 42 yards as Pioneer defeated Temperance Bedford, 35-10, to take the district title.
This week: Pioneer travels to Catholic Central for a regional final matchup on Saturday at 1.
OH OL Kyle Kalis
St. Edward dominated in the trenches and defeated Cleveland Heights, 28-14, in a first-round playoff game.
This week: The Eagles have a chance to avenge one of their three losses this season as they face St. Ignatius on Saturday.
The rest of this week's updates follow after the jump.
CA OL Erik Magnuson
La Costa Canyon wrapped up their sixth straight Avocado League West title with a 17-14 victory over El Camino. It was the sixth straight victory for the Mavericks, who now at 7-2 (4-0).
This week: The Mavericks wrap up the regular season on Friday at home against Torrey Pines.
MI DE Mario Ojemudia
Ojemudia was suspended for the first half of Harrison's 30-7 loss to Brother Rice due to a recently-unearthed violation of MHSAA rules stemming from wearing pads at a summer Nike camp. Yes, the timing was dubious. I wasn't able to track stats for Ojemudia from the sideline, but he didn't have a chance to rush the quarterback with Brother Rice running out the clock in the second half.
This week: Harrison finishes the season at 10-1.
MO DT Ondre Pipkins
Park Hill finished the season with a 5-5 record after losing their finale two weekends ago.
MI CB Terry Richardson
Richardson didn't put up any stats and appears to still be dealing with an ankle injury, but Cass Tech defeated Dearborn Fortson 33-7 to win their district title.
This week: I'll be on hand—and see if Richardson is healthy—as Cass Tech takes on Warren De La Salle on Friday night.
OH LB Kaleb Ringer
Ringer sat out the end of the season due to a strained MCL suffered early on in the year.
MI LB James Ross
No stats are available for Ross as OLSM cruised to a 62-20 district final win over Redford Thurston.
This week: The Eagles (9-2) host Linden on Saturday at 1 in a Division 3 state quarterfinal.
OH OL Caleb Stacey
Oak Hills finished the season at 4-6 after losing to Joe Bolden's Colerain squad two weekends ago.
IL CB Anthony Standifer
Standifer sat out with a separated shoulder and Crete-Monee suffered their first loss of the season as Richwoods came away with a 51-36 upset victory in the second round of the playoffs. 2013 receiver Laquon Treadwell starred in defeat, catching 14 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown.
This week: The Warriors finish the season with a 10-1 record.
OH DE Tom Strobel
Mentor cruised to a 42-0 halftime lead on their way to a 48-16 quarterfinal victory over John F. Kennedy. No stats were available for Strobel, but Mentor lifted their starters in the second half.
This week: The Cardinals host rival Solon, who they already defeated earlier this season, on Saturday.
OH TE A.J. Williams
Williams played offensive tackle as Sycamore fell to Archbishop Moeller, 31-21, in the first round of the state playoffs. Moeller's Monty Madaris, a receiver with interest and an offer from Michigan, scored two second-half touchdowns to lift the Crusaders to vistory.
This week: The Aviators finish the season with an 8-3 record.
OH S Jarrod Wilson
Buchtel finished their season with a 6-4 record, but did not qualify for the playoffs.
Chris Wormley celebrates a fourth down stop against Anthony Wayne. (Photo credit: Andy Morrison, Toledo Blade)
OH DE Chris Wormley:
Whitmer stayed undefeated with a shutout of Anthony Wayne, 20-0. Here's our weekly report from Whitmer play-by-play man Mason Lowry:
Not a great deal to say. My highly-unofficial stats indicate that Anthony Wayne ran 40 offensive plays for a total of 89 yards. They run the Wing-T, which, since Whitmer is great against the run, probably isn't an ideal way to attack. Most plays went something like this: skinny running back dives up the middle, is hit by 5 or 6 Whitmer players, repeat. Chris made one particularly nice play in which he blew up the right guard on a pull and dragged down a speedy wingback for a five-yard loss. Otherwise, a full team effort that didn't require a great deal of effort.
This week's game should be far more interesting: a regional quarterfinal with Canton McKinley, who feature one-time target Se'Von Pittman, who is now bound for MSU. They're fast, they're tough, they're talented, and they're a big test. The game is being played in Mansfield - best known as the filming location of The Shawshank Redemption - at a 14,000 seat stadium with a tiny-looking press box. Provided that there's two seats and an outlet for a tiny internet radio station, we'll be on the air for pregame at 6:15 with a 7:00 kickoff on WRSCsports.com.
This week: Mason covered it above.
2013 Commits
MI QB Shane Morris
Morris completed 6-of-9 passes for 98 yards and three touchdowns while also adding a one-yard TD run as De La Salle knocked off Warren Mott, 35-6, in the second round of the playoffs. According to Morris, De La Salle came in planning to establish the run, and it opened up opportunities for him in the passing game:
"We came in with a run game plan," DeLaSalle quarterback Shane Morris said. "We knew we could run against them because our line did good all week. We started running early and we just kept pounding the rock."
"We knew that by running the ball, it would open the play-action pass which all three of my touchdown passes came off of," Morris said. "On that quarterback sneak, my line just got a great push."

For Style.com's fifth print issue, Maya Singer entrenched herself within the Hood By Air camp to profile the label and designer Shayne Oliver. After spending enough time with Oliver and the various members of the HBA fam, Singer declares that, "These are early days for Hood by Air, but it's not unreasonable to think that Oliver, and his entourage of close collaborators and like-minded friends, could set the fashion world topsy-turvy."
You may already be familiar with the logo-heavy T-shirts donned by rappers and streetwear kids alike, but there's no doubt that Hood By Air is a fashion label that operates by its own unique philosophy. The long-form profile traces how Shayne and his close friends bridged the gap and blurred the lines between downtown Manhattan's music, arts, and fashion scenes with his home neighborhood of East New York in Brooklyn.
"'I started making clothes because I wanted stuff to wear that could move between these worlds,' Oliver explains. 'This art world of downtown, in Manhattan, and this other world that I went home to—there are things that connect them. Brooklyn is really hustle-driven. People are always looking for something, trying to get on. But it's the same downtown. Both places, there's an interest in power. A respect for it.'"
To Shayne and his friends, it didn't matter what your personal identity was, as long as you confidently brought an element of power and progressive authority to the table. Now, as the profile details, it's a question of whether a relatively staid fashion world will accept Hood By Air, and if Hood By Air wants to even be accepted.
There's no doubt that Hood By Air has jarred people into paying attention, but for a label that is about blurring lines, many critics and observers are trying to peg the line as hip-hop, punk, or erecting any other number of confines to define HBA. As for Oliver, he could give a fuck about being categorized, as opposed to focusing on keeping the electricity going. "These categories exist," Olivier said. "There are a lot of categories. I feel like maybe they've been done to death. It's like, who cares?"

text: DigitalThe Oscar Nominations Were Announced. Now We're All DepressedBy Tonya Garcia|January 24, 2012ShareBy Tonya Garcia|January 24, 2012ShareFor about five minutes this morning, we celebrated the nominees for this year's Oscar awards. Then for about 15 minutes we pondered over the nominees we thought were undeserving. Then we spent the rest of the day going over all the movies and actors that were overlooked. Hello Academy!! Did you not see the funky fresh scorpion jacket that Ryan Gosling rocked in Drive? And what about the heinousness of Charlize Theron in Young Adult? According to The Huffington Post and Rotten Tomatoes, Best Picture nominee Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is rotten to the core. Why is my taste so good and yours so bad?The Web was rife with stories about who got snubbed. Patton Oswalt, also from Young Adult, and Albert Brooks, also from Drive, even tweeted their sadness comically.But the fact is, even if fans and critics don't agree with the nominations, we'll all be watching as many of these movies as possible before February 26. Already, there are reports that online ticket sales for The Artist jumped 190 percent after it received 10 nominations. Guess this means I have to see War Horse.

Coherence and Grounding in Discourse
Outcome of a Symposium, Eugene, Oregon, June 1984
MyBook is a cheap paperback edition of the original book and will be sold at uniform, low price.
This volume seeks to expand our understanding of the relation holding between discourse relations, cognitive units, and linguistic coding. The twenty contributions in this collection explore one or more of the following themes: How point of view, or the salience of information in discourse, affects the organizational coherence of text and discourse; the concept of cognitive and linguistic <i>event </i>and how events are reflected in text and discourse organization; the nature of linguistic coding of events and other kinds of significant information; and the cognitive bases or cognitive correlates of the linguistic organization of discourse.

text: After an absolutely brilliant 12" EP on La Vida Es Un Mus Discos, here's a new single from the Bay Area's Flesh World. Really, this is of a piece with the earlier EP, on which the band immediately tapped into a really cool signature sound with huge, shoegaze-y guitars, powerful punk drumming, melodic vocals, and stinging, slightly dissonant lead guitar. The a-side here is great, but the b-side is what really gets my attention.... it's a little more upbeat and aggressive, and has this insanely killer lead guitar line. I'm completely in love with this band, and if you are too you're gonna need this single!

Perhaps New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg deserves credit, then, for saying straight out, and sticking to his position, that the mosque "is as important a test" of "the separation of church and state as we may see in our lifetime." Indeed, he added, "We would be untrue to the best part of ourselves—and who we are as New Yorkers and Americans—if we said 'no' to a mosque in Lower Manhattan."
And yet, there's something in that Bloombergian line that puts one's back up. Something condescending, superior, and hectoring. Something of the school marm and, more to the point, something of the 1950s high-liberal technocrat who just doesn't like the messiness of human interaction. And if we could reach down to the root of the mayor's error, we would have some understanding of how religion actually works in a constitutional democracy.
Of course, the first thing that has to be said about the building of an enormous Muslim center so close to the destroyed towers is that it's wildly offensive. And the second thing to be said is that it's wildly constitutional.

Teens often work on laptops with track pads, making interactions that require precision — such as drop-down menus, drag-n-drop, and small buttons — difficult. Design elements such as rollover effects and small click zones are also problematic, if they're usable at all. Small text sizes and dense text make reading difficult. Combine these elements with poor ergonomics and you have a prescription for fatigue and errors. –Jakob Nielsen

Located in the hilly area of south central Kentucky, the Mammoth Cave National Park is the world's longest known cave system. To date, there have been more than 400 miles explored. Initial travelers of the site described the cave as beautiful, though dark and sometimes scary. Still, the park holds true to its name; delighting visitors with its mammoth chambers and labyrinths.
Image Source: nps.gov
Mammoth Cave is a World Heritage Site because it provides fascinating evidence of historical events. Through exploration, the story of human beings has been depicted on cave walls and by finding several artifacts and remains, which are estimated to be several thousand years old. Nearby caves in the region housed mummies pointing to pre-Columbian funeral practices. It is because of this that the cave maintains its relevance and fascination among archeologists.
Mammoth Cave officially became a national park in 1941 after a rather turbulent exploration history. After it was dedicated, though, Mammoth Cave has maintained its reputation as one of the more stunning national parks in the country – though it still is one of the lesser-visited attractions in the state.
Image Source: thousandwonders.net
One of the beautiful aspects of the park is the knowledge that there are still miles yet undiscovered. There are still groups that visit the park intent on making discoveries. The most recent discovery was in 2005 where a connection between two smaller caves was found. This added around 3 miles to the existing system. Incremental discoveries have made the approximate area of the Mammoth Cave to 400 miles.
Visitors are encouraged to take a step into the past at the Mammoth Cave National Park.
Dwyer and Associates is a strong advocate of preserving national parks around the country through proper education. Learn more when you follow this Twitter account.

One pillar at Fox News shook last year when Chairman Roger Ailes was ousted over a sexual-harassment scandal. Then primetime star Megyn Kelly left for NBC. Now a third pillar of the constellation of talent that built Fox News into a cable TV juggernaut, Bill O'Reilly, is gone as well.
At 2:32pm ET today, Fox News parent 21st Century Fox confirmed that O'Reilly—who has been on vacation since April 11th— would not be returning to its networks: "After a thorough and careful review of the allegations, the Company and Bill O'Reilly have agreed that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel."
Statement from 21st Century Fox regarding Bill O'Reilly: https://t.co/VBTDFVy1mA
— 21st Century Fox (@21CF) April 19, 2017
Years of alleged harassment followed by estimated pay-offs totaling $13 million to his accusers and cover-ups by network executives toppled O'Reilly—exposed in damning stories by other media outlets, particularly The New York Times, which published another accuser's claims yesterday.
Hosting the No. 1 show in U.S. cable news for 15 consecutive years, bringing in more than $400 million in ad revenue to the network over three years, writing a series of best-selling books that made him even more of a media luminary—even the support of President Trump—weren't enough to protect him.
Follow the Money
After more than half of The O'Reilly Factor's advertisers pulled out from the show, Fox News EVP of ad sales Paul Rittenberg has been working hard to keep advertiser defections in check and keep their money somewhere on Fox News Channel until the matter was settled. Mercedes-Benz was the first brand to pull its ads, calling the allegations against O'Reilly "disturbing" and adding that "given the importance of women in every aspect of our business, we don't feel this is a good environment in which to advertise our products right now."
Stemming advertiser losses was essential. As The New York Times reported, "O'Reilly was an essential asset to Fox News. His No. 1 cable news show made about $178 million in advertising revenue in 2015, and gained viewers in the prelude to the election and since. Meanwhile, Fox News's financial contribution to its parent company, 21st Century Fox, has also been growing."
Indeed, the Murdoch family that controls the FOX empire (and The Wall Street Journal and other properties) couldn't look the other way either financially or reputationally after The New York Times reported that O'Reilly had reached settlements with five women who had complained about sexual harassment or other inappropriate behavior by him. O'Reilly didn't admit to such behavior, and said he was only trying to protect his kids from embarrassment by not publicly refuting the claims.
Once the charges of sexual harassment pay-offs came to light and advertisers bolted, the end came much more quickly for O'Reilly than it had for Ailes. As protests continued outside Fox News HQ in New York this week, the end was nigh.
While O'Reilly has been on a two-week family vacation, and was spotted in Rome today shaking hands with Pope Francis, network stalwarts such as Greg Gutfeld have been filling in for him in the 8 p.m. slot.
Bill O'Reilly, in Rome on vacation, shook hands w/ Pope Francis, whom he chided on his show https://t.co/8pz1WnW4Q9 pic.twitter.com/7LR4XMuysa
— New York Times World (@nytimesworld) April 19, 2017
Fox News quickly announced that Tucker Carlson—a fast-rising star at the network who initially took Kelly's slot at 9 p.m.—will fill O'Reilly's old 8 p.m. slot, with a late-afternoon show called The Five moving to Carlson's current 9 p.m. slot.
O'Reilly's Response
O'Reilly, meanwhile, issued the following (likely prepared) statement today on his personal website about his ouster:
Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television. It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today. I will always look back on my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers. I wish only the best for Fox News Channel.
O'Reilly boasted of his truth-telling and alleged he was nonpartisan though his leanings were heavily conservative. He also was well known for aphorisms such as, "The spin stops here." Now, it really does.
Below, his vacation sign-off that proved to be his final appearance on the network:

On the heels of government hearings regarding unintended acceleration, all cars sold in the U.S. could face a new rule that would require a brake override system.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Ray LaHood, made the comments after weeks of hearings into the 8.5-million vehicle recall of Toyota products, all of which centered around various forms of unintended acceleration and brake failure.
"We are looking at the possibility of recommending the brake override system to all manufacturers of automobiles," LaHood said in his testimony in front of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. The committee is probing the recent Toyota recalls in Washington, D.C.
How It Would Work
The system under consideration allows the driver to override the accelerator by returning the engine to idle if both the gas and brake pedals are being pressed at the same time, thus preventing unintended acceleration.
In addition to Secretary LaHood, Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W. Va,), has stated that creating new laws to expand federal authority over automotive safety issues may be a necessary step to ensuring that another massive recall does not occur.
"I do intend to work on comprehensive legislation to get at all of these issues in a real way. We need to look at current law and ask if it is strong enough to prevent something like this from happening again," Rockefeller said. "I know my colleagues have much to contribute to this effort, and I welcome it."
We spoke with our friend and technical expert Sam Abuelsamid of Autoblog.com about the potential change.
"Essentially there is a form of logic in the engine's computer. What it does is it looks for the driver applying the brake pedal. If the throttle is open and the brake pedal is being pressed, the throttle is disabled," said Abuelsamid.
"In terms of how this particular system would work, it would use a system of timers in the engine. The throttle would have to be open beyond a certain amount of time while the brake is being applied for a couple of seconds before the engine shuts off. It's not just going to be an instant engine shut off."
Abuelsamid said that while government regulation will not bring the end of automotive safety recalls, exercising the authority in a proper way could certainly help.
"Mistakes happen, unforeseen consequences happen," he said. "It's a fact of life. Regulators need to keep on top of complaints and have engineers on staff that understand the latest technology in order to do analysis."
When Toyota executives come to Capitol Hill this week to testify before Congress, how they make their case could very well affect how every automotive company functions. If the Senate committee decides that an expansion of government authority is necessary, every new car in the U.S. will be required to have an installed brake override system, regardless of their past safety record.
Such an act seems warranted for Toyota, but is it really fair to impose regulations on auto companies that have not had problems with unintended acceleration?
"Yes. What happened with Toyota could happen to anyone," Abuelsamid said. "Some automakers have already taken the actions to prevent this problem, but the next issue could and likely will pop up anywhere. The increasing dependence on electronics and software will make it some ways more difficult to reproduce and diagnose problems."
It's too soon to tell what the consequences of the government probe into Toyota will be, but there may very well be a government mandated brake override system included on your next new vehicle, Toyota or not.

MEQUON, Wis. – Concordia University Wisconsin's Department of Athletics received a significant donation of $50,000 on Tuesday from Highland House Restaurant to help fund a new batting cage facility.
"We are pleased to continue our partnership with the Highland House," Director of Athletics Dr. Rob Barnhill said. "The Highland House has been an important contributor in our endeavor to build a batting cage facility on campus. We hope Tom and Dan Demarsh's donation will spark more interest in the community."
The batting cage facility will provide the baseball and softball teams at CUW with an area to advance their skills in the inclement Wisconsin weather. The new facility will feature two 14x60 batting cages, storage and possibly more area for hitting.
Highland House owner Tom and Dan Demarsh are longtime supporters of Falcons athletics, as one of the restaurant's locations is hundreds of yards from the campus across I-43. The Highland House has been in business for 30 years.
The Highland House is a blend of California, Caribbean and Mexican influences in both design and menu. It's a casual and fun atmosphere with a colorful and unique décor. Voted as one Milwaukee's best places for a margarita, it has great food at a great price. From appetizers to salads, sandwiches, pasta and dinner entrées, there is something for everyone.

Gang of Six Jihadists From Birmingham
Admit Planning Terrorist Attack On EDL Rally
This gang of Jihadists travelled to Dewsbury from Birmingham in June 2012 to attack
an EDL rally - in their car they had pipe-bombs, sawn-off shotguns, knives and a machete.
How many court cases have there been this year where the jihadists were born and raised
in the UK?
Our readers can be pretty sure that if these men had been White British racial Nationalists putting up 'racist' posters and stickers police would have them under surveillance.
These jihadists planned and plotted in Sparkhill, Birmingham and put together a car full of bombs and other weapons, yet the security services knew nothing about them.
An interesting point in the case, is that all six were regulars at a gym in Sparkhill called,
'Darul Ihsaan' which translates into English as 'Place of Excellence'.
The press reports say that this gym runs a strict Islamic policy, No music, No alcohol, No Women allowed.
Perhaps the radical, Left-wing feminists at Birmingham University ought to go and protest outside the Sparkhill gym. It would be an interesting lesson in how 'diversity' works. The reception they would get there might just shake their Leftist convictions a little.
How is it that such a gym, with such rules is allowed to operate?
If it was a White British NS operated gym called something like 'Strength Through Joy', the local authorities and the police would shut it down within days.
But as we all know, there is one law for the 'colonisers' and one law for the 'native' British.

Medical Marijuana Gets Its Day in Federal Court Tomorrow
Medical marijuana will finally get its day in federal court tomorrow. On Tuesday the United State Court of Appeals for the DC district will hear oral arguments in Americans for Safe Access v. Drug Enforcement Administration regarding the scheduling of marijuana.
Marijuana is currently listed as a Schedule I drug, which according to federal law Schedule I substances "have a potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, and there is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision." Because marijuana is legally considered to have no accepted medical use it can't be legally prescribed under federal law, even though 17 states have approved the medical use of marijuana.
The government was petitioned to examine the most recent scientific evidence proving cannabis' medical value and as a result move marijuana to a lower schedule, but the DEA first stonewalled and than finally rejected the petition in 2011. The DEA was then sued for inappropriately rejecting the petition. The court may decide if the DEA did in fact fail to follow its legal requirements on this issue.
The government's insistence that marijuana has no medical value is not only contradicted by numerous scientific studies but also by the government's treatment of THC, the main active compound in marijuana. Even though marijuana remains Schedule I, THC is listed as Schedule III and is a widely used medication.

In University of Huddersfield Higher Education Corporation v HMRC7, the Court of Appeal has dismissed the taxpayer's appeal against the UT's decision that a lease and leaseback scheme offended the Halifax abuse of rights principle. Accordingly, the transaction had to be re- characterised for VAT purposes so that the taxpayer's input tax on construction services was recoverable in accordance with its partial exemption method (and not fully recoverable as attributable to taxable supplies made under the lease).
In 1996, the taxpayer entered into a lease and leaseback arrangement with the trustees of a discretionary trust for a site known as "East Mill". The taxpayer elected to waive the VAT exemption over East Mill with the effect that the rent payable under the lease to the trustees was subject to VAT at the standard rate. The trustees also elected to waive the VAT exemption over East Mill so that VAT at the standard rate was chargeable on the rent payable under the leaseback to the taxpayer. The lease and leaseback contained a break clause that allowed the tenant to terminate the lease before the expiry of the term.
The taxpayer redeveloped East Mill and sought to reclaim the input VAT incurred on the redevelopment costs on the basis that the input VAT was attributable to the taxpayer's taxable supplies of East Mill.
On 26 January 2000, HMRC issued an assessment denying the recovery of input VAT. The taxpayer appealed. On 16 October 2002, the FTT referred the case to the ECJ and made the following findings of fact:
- the lease and leaseback were genuine transactions resulting in genuine supplies
- the sole reason for using the trust, and the sole purpose of the lease to the trustees, was that of facilitating VAT planning
- the transactions into which the taxpayer entered provided for VAT deferral with an absolute VAT saving if the break was exercised and it was the taxpayer's intention to exercise a break or surrender the lease before the expiry of the term
- the transactions were entered into with the sole intention of obtaining a fiscal advantage and it was the subjective intention of the taxpayer and the trust to achieve that fiscal advantage.
On 18 August 2004, the leases were surrendered.
The ECJ said that the lease and leaseback were supplies of goods and services, and constituted an economic activity. However, the ECJ did not comment on whether the transactions amounted to an abuse of rights. Instead, it stated that a deduction for input VAT arising as a result of transactions that constitute an abusive practice should be denied. The case was referred back to the FTT for a decision on whether there was an abuse of rights.
The FTT found in favour of the taxpayer. HMRC appealed that decision to the UT who found in favour of HMRC. The taxpayer appealed to the Court of Appeal.
Court of Appeal judgment
In the view of the UT, the essential aim of the transactions was, undoubtedly, the obtaining of a tax advantage. The taxpayer had, as a result of the transactions taken as a whole, treated the input tax on the building works as being linked to the taxable supply of the lease, rather than to its general (mainly exempt) supplies and therefore recovered 100%, rather than only a small proportion of it. This constituted a tax advantage. Given that the ECJ in Halifax had stated that, to permit a taxable person that made only exempt supplies to recover all of its input tax would be contrary to the principle of fiscal neutrality, the tax advantage obtained by the taxpayer was contrary to the purposes of the Sixth Directive and the national implementing legislation.
The Court of Appeal distinguished HMRC v Weald Leasing Ltd8, which concerned the deferral of irrecoverable VAT over the term of a lease from the instant case, where the scheme could be collapsed in order to obtain an absolute saving. The FTT had found that this was the taxpayer's intention from the outset. In the view of the Court, in considering whether the first limb of the Halifax principle (that the transactions resulting in the tax advantage were contrary to VAT law) was satisfied, the UT had been correct to focus on the object, purpose and effect of interposing the trust and granting the lease and leaseback, which had no commercial effect other than to secure a tax advantage.
In re-characterising the transactions, the Court said that its task was to disregard the abusive (artificial) elements of the scheme (in this case, the trust and lease and leaseback) and not, as the taxpayer had argued, to substitute it for an alternative scheme that the taxpayer could have implemented (a similar lease arrangement but at arm's length).
Given the FTT's finding of fact that there was an intention from the start to collapse the leases (and obtain an absolute VAT saving), and the UT distinguishing Weald Leasing, the Court of Appeal's judgment is not surprising.
Leasing is not in itself abusive. Partially exempt taxpayers may choose to spread irrecoverable VAT over the lease period, but a lease designed to achieve an absolute VAT saving will be open to challenge by HMRC.
A copy of the Court of Appeal's judgment is available to view here.

Presented by the International Network for the Abolition of US Foreign Military Bases
[Transnational Institute]
The year is 2007 AD. The globe is
entirely occupied by US soldiers... well not entirely! Hundreds of
local, national and international campaigns are holding out against
the global apparatus of foreign military bases.
Outposts of Empire tells of the everyday effects of foreign military bases at a local or national level: the displacement of people; the democratic deficit and loss of sovereignty that bases cause; their devastating economic, environmental and health impacts; and impunity about the crime that bases bring with them, including sexual violence. These analyses are accompanied by case studies that illustrate the problems of bases in Diego Garcia, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, Panama, the Philippines and Turkey, as well as highlighting the remarkable efforts that people on the ground have made to struggle against them. An introductory essay sets out the broader history and changing geopolitics of the US military presence abroad, and introduces the emerging global network that aim to close these outposts of empire and send the troops home.
Loss of sovereignty: Turkey
Democratic Deficit: Philippines
Economic drain: Hawaii
Displacement: Diego Garcia
Map: global US military involvement
Environmental impact: Panama
Health hazards: Guam
Crime and impunity: Korea
Sex crimes and prostitution: Okinawa

Author Notes: A vintage cocktail that has been unearthed. This one is named after a French fencing champion! It balances out the dry herbal notes of gin and dry vermouth with some Cointreau and Campari. One of my go-tos for an elegant, boozy cocktail when I want something sweeter than a martini but drier than a Negroni (an important niche to fill!). —fiveandspice
Makes: 1
ounce London dry-style gin
ounce Dolin dry vermouth
ounce Cointreau
ounce Campari
A strip of lemon peel with no zest
- Stir all the ingredients with ice until well chilled and diluted, about 30 seconds (yes, you can count one one-thousand, two one-thousand in your head while you stir). Strain into a coupe. Hold the piece of lemon peel in your fingers and roll it between them over the top of the cocktail, expressing the citrus oil onto the cocktail. Discard the lemon peel and drink.

The government says the U.S. budget deficit widened in May by $139 billion, but the annual deficit stayed on track to finish below $1 trillion for the first time since 2008.
With the May increase, the deficit through the first eight months of this budget year totaled $626 billion. That's down $218 billion lower than the same period last year.
Steady economic growth and higher tax rates have boosted the government's tax revenue by 15 percent this year. At the same time, government spending has barely increased.
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the deficit won't grow much before the budget year ends on Sept. 30. It forecasts an annual deficit of $642 billion, down from last year's imbalance of $1.09 trillion.

Most traditional cakes contain egg in the batter to bind and leaven the finished product, but it's not an essential ingredient. Vegans, the egg-intolerant and those who wish to lower their cholesterol need to go egg-free if they want to enjoy some cake. Several ingredients can be used instead of eggs when baking a cake, but these substitutes all have slightly different properties so it's important to choose one that will work well in your recipe.
Silken Tofu
Blended silken tofu can be used to replace eggs in cakes. Be sure to blend it until it's completely smooth -- you wouldn't want to find a lump of tofu in your slice of cake. Its neutral flavor means that it won't impart any unwanted tastes into your cake. Since it normally results in fairly heavy baked goods, it's best used in cakes that are meant to be dense and moist. Use a 1/4 cup of blended silken tofu to replace one egg.
Pureed Fruit
Using pureed fruit as an egg replacer will give you a moist, light cake. Unsweetened applesauce or pureed banana are ideal, but pureed prunes, dates and raisins are potential alternatives. The fruit will leave a slight taste in your cake, so it's best to use it in a recipe where that flavor will fit in, such as using banana in a banana cake or applesauce in a cinnamon and apple cake. Replace one egg with 1/4 cup of pureed fruit. If you're replacing several eggs, you may need to increase the leavening agent by 25 to 50 percent to keep your sponge fluffy.
Soy Yogurt
Using soy yogurt as an egg replacer works in a similar way as using blended silken tofu. It will make your cake turn out rich and moist, but the final product should be lighter and less dense than a cake made with silken tofu. As long as you use plain or vanilla soy yogurt, you shouldn't be able to taste it in your baked goods. Just a 1/4 cup of soy yogurt can stand in for one egg in your cake recipe.
Vinegar and Baking Soda
A mixture of vinegar and baking soda give extra leavening power to your recipe and results in cakes that are extremely light and fluffy. While putting vinegar in a sweet recipe might seem unusual, it cooks out during baking. As long as you use a neutral tasting kind -- such as apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar -- you won't be left with any vinegary flavors in your finished cake. Use 1 tablespoon of vinegar mixed with 1 teaspoon of baking soda to replace one egg.

Ancient woodland restoration
Ancient woods have been around for many centuries – long enough to develop into ecosystems that are rich, complex and irreplaceable.
Officially it is woodland that has existed since 1600AD, but many are much older than this. Some may even link back to the original woodland that covered the UK around 10,000 years ago after the last Ice Age.
Much of what remains has been damaged by planting with non-native conifers or colonisation by invasive species.
Thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Funding we are working closely with landowners to restore what is left of our ancient woodland. Careful woodland management to let in sunlight encourages native species to thrive again, reversing years of damage.
Ancient woodland is special1
Our ancient woodland is our richest terrestrial habitat for wildlife, home to more threatened species than any other.

I fed Hollie for 2 years outside before she decided I was trustworthy. After that she decided to check out our home by running in, running around and then running out. After about a week of this I found her on our bed and looking at me as if to say, "I'm decided to stay, let's go to bed!". She is a very sweet kitty who has learned to trust. Even friends who visit she will allow them to pet her. So now instead of being matted, cold and hungry, she is very loved, spoiled and safe.
