You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Contributing to open source typically conjures images of working on a project's code. But offering bandwidth is another critical way the movement can benefit.
That's the approach taken by NTT America, a Tier 1 carrier and a division of Japan-based NTT Communications, which is now helping open source by donating IPv6 transit (define) to the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC).
The ISC is a nonprofit organization that leads the development of the open source BIND DNS server and also hosts the F-root name servers. The group's Hosted@ISC effort also provides hosting for some of the top open source efforts, including Mozilla, FreeBSD and kernel.org, the official Linux kernel repository.
The IPv6 donation by NTT America, which has been working with ISC since 2002, will deliver additional bandwidth for Hosted@ISC, as well as potentially spurring open source adoption of IPv6 -- which might help to counter the sluggish pace of IPv6 deployment in the U.S. and elsewhere.
"NTT has been a longtime contributor of network services to ISC," Peter Losher, program manager for Hosted@ISC, told InternetNews.com "This expansion of IPv6 connectivity is a result of our mutual desire to see the use of IPv6 grow. NTT's donation effectively doubles our IPv6 transit."
Davis suggested the donated bandwidth could potentially amount to thousands of dollars per month.
"As a backbone provider, we charge our customers based upon a factored amount of the bandwidth they utilize," Christopher Davis, IPv6 product manager at NTT America, told InternetNews.com. "This figure could change on a monthly basis, so it's hard to peg an exact figure [on the donation]. Having said that, NTT America has donated ISC a Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connection, [so] they could use up to 1,000 mbps."
Davis also said telecom researcher TeleGeography recently reported that GigE connections in the San Francisco Bay Area carry an average monthly cost of $14 per mbps -- bringing the total potential donation to $14,000 worth of bandwidth at current prices.
Added Losher, "We can tell you, ISC, as a 501(c)(3) public-benefit organization, couldn't afford to buy this amount of connectivity."
"NTT has not asked for a tax deductible receipt," he also said.
For the telecom provider, on factor behind the donation was the chance to benefit open source.

Next I cut out my base fabric and pinned it in place. I like to cover my belts in two separate pieces because my weight often fluctuates. Having my belt in two pieces means I can easily make adjustments to make my belt larger or smaller later on without having to worry about making any of my designs off center. After I cover them I sew them together.
I have no idea why I didn't cover it with my second layer of fabric before I sewed it in half...oh well. Since my fabric was sheer I put it over my belt so I could ensure the design lined up the way I wanted.
I decided to make some paisley appliques for the belt and shoulder straps so I cut the design out of my interfacing and covered them with my base fabric as well. I attempted to machine sew these but I had a hard time with the shape, size, and the number of pins I had to use to I ended up hand stitching them instead.
I beaded these the same way I did the one for the bra. I also created straps using my usual method shown in my red peacock costume blog, using gross grain ribbon and interfacing. I chose not to hand bead my fringe for this costume, instead opting to buy some Egyptian fringe on Ebay.

Jury deliberating the fate of mom charged with freezer deaths
A Montgomery County jury now is deliberating the fate of Renee Bowman, the adoptive mother charged with killing two of her three daughters and stuffing their bodies into a freezer.
Bowman, 44, is accused of killing two girls she adopted, and beating a third. Prosecutors said she killed Minnet, who would be 12 now, and Jasmine, who would be 11, in Montgomery County in either 2006 or 2007, and took the freezer with her when she moved to Charles County and then Calvert County.
Both sides gave their closing arguments this morning.
State's Attorney John McCarthy said Bowman adopted the girls to receive the stipend from D.C. that comes with such custody.
"This woman was in it for the money. And by killing the children, keeping them literally on ice, the money continued to flow," he said.
Bowman's attorneys suggested that at least on of the two dead children died from natural causes and that Bowman didn't kill them.
Attorney Alan Drew acknowledged that Bowman abused her children, but he argued that prosecutors failed to prove she planned to kill them. If there's no premeditation, the jury could find her guilty of second-degree murder instead of first-degree murder.
The crime stunned the region and cast a spotlight on D.C.'s child welfare agency, which had allowed Bowman to adopt the three girls. The most memorable part of the week-long trial is when the surviving child, who is now 9, described on the witness stand the harrowing life that Bowman allegedly forced upon the girls.
That girl is being raised by foster parents in Calvert County.

Slovenia is a new member of EWM. Thus, there were no activities so far to promote gender balance in mathematics. However, there were several activities in past years to promote women in science, and there are ongoing efforts to attract more girls to studies in maths and computer science.
According to the first count, there are 23 women professors in mathematics in Slovenia (at all three universities), which is approximately 16% of all professors in mathematics. There are many more post-docs, teaching assistants and researchers, so we expect that the balance will gradually improve in the next few years as these young mathematicians advance in their careers.

The holidays are over; now reality returns. Reality! What a concept the comedian wrote. For reasons that escape me I have neglected this diary for most of a month. As a welcome return to my high school scholars the doorbell rang this past Saturday morning. I could see a silhouette through the dark green curtain covering the oval window in the door. I suspected the identity of the silhouette waiting for a stranger to open the door.
The previous Monday a new student had transferred into the school. His mother had moved him and herself into a very low rent district of town perhaps one step ahead of the law. Matt is a pleasant young man with an unusual hairdo. He tends to comb his wet blonde hair forward toward his eyes. As it dries, laying flat on top of his head, the ends curl upward on his forehead. In an attempt to completely cover his young babyish face he tries to grow a beard on his chin. The wispy hair does little to cover his chinny-chin-chin. The one thing he has going for him; he is smarter then my average SPED student. In his last school he had been placed in an honors English class. The only reason he failed the class were the thirty-five days he occupied a cubicle in the in-school-suspension portable classroom.
Through the green curtain I saw the curled hair on his forehead. He was looking down at a folder he held in his hand. I unlocked the door and swung it open. He looked up and was ready to say his memorized speech. However, the best he could muster was a shocked, "holy shit"!
"It's good to see you also Matt," I replied to his surprised words.
"I a, I mean a, I didn't know you lived here?"
"Well, well, surprise to you. What can I do for you?"
Before he answered I knew why he was at my door. He was completing a probation period imposed by the local juvenile judge. A lady that had ran on one platform and like
many other politicians had changed after winning elections. His sentence was a year's probation as long as he held a job. Otherwise, if he lost his job, he would finish his sentence in the juvenile detention center. The job was selling local newspaper subscriptions with most of his salary going to pay court cost. He had been blanketing most residential areas of this fast growing town.
"Okay, here's your free newspaper. You want to buy a subscription? You can get a five-day a week subscription for $10.00 a month, or Saturday and Sunday for $8.50 a month, or you can just make a donation."
Matt had not looked at me from the time I opened the door. He stood there with his sagging pants, Artic Polar coat, untied Nike shoes, and hairy chin waiting for me to choose a subscription.
"How much longer are you on probation," I asked?
"Four hundred dollars worth."
I wondered about the legal lesson he would take away from his probation experience? My guess was the same lesson he garnered from his prior two probations. Briefly a picture crossed my mind. A picture of him appropriately clothed, in honors English, passing with a solid A, and colleges lining up to offer him scholarships.
"How about a donation," I asked?
"If that's what you want to do."
Leaving him standing on the small concrete porch I fished fourteen dollars from my wallet. "All I have is this," I told him over my shoulder.
"Whatever," he said.
My ideal picture of the future was quietly shattered and replaced with a mental slide show of poverty, despair, evictions, minimum wage jobs between jail sentences, several children with different partners, and no high school diploma or college degree. He pocketed the fourteen dollars and walked off down the street to the next house.
"Thanks man. See ya Monday."
…………I could be wrong?

Now Reality Returns
Posted by Special Edd at 8:27 PM No comments:
The incident became big because the student's mother chose to make it so. A complaint was made, charges were filed, because "strong force" she said had been applied on her son. And so it came about that a hand on an arm became tantamount to assault, and a teacher, 34-year unblemished teaching record notwithstanding, received a reprimand and the incident became front-page news at the local daily.
I sometimes wonder how public school teachers find the will and motivation to continue doing their jobs. You have to hope that most of them, or at least some, found their way into this, one of the "noble" professions, for the right reasons: to make a difference, mold impressionable minds, impart education, be a catalyst in at least some students' lives. And you wonder how long it took for them to feel deflated by some of the realities of their job.
Look at what is on their plate: A low starting salary and a continuing one that is hardly commensurate to their qualifications or the work they do; a society that expects miracles from them; raw material to work with that is diverse in every way imaginable — diverse in terms of ethnic and religious background, and diverse in terms of socio-economic background — kids who come from low-income, unsupervised households; kids from middle-class households who are unsupervised because their parents are too busy; kids from the other end of the spectrum — from households with high-strung parents who over-manage and over-schedule their kids' lives.
And let's not forget the federal standards that ask teachers, in effect, to put all these different kids onto the education assembly line and produce products with a decent education. If you ask me, teachers ought to be paid a king's ransom.
But I haven't yet come to that category of Obnoxious Parents, a category that needs a couple of paragraphs, and can't be dismissed in a sentence or two. Apparently, there is a new breed of parents that has sprung up in recent years; a breed that has taken parental involvement to new heights, that sees their child being always in the right and school authorities in the wrong, and that is combative and confrontational with teachers.
Time magazine carried a report on this trend last year, and asked teachers to name the hardest challenge they faced in their jobs. The answer was not limited resources or standardized tests or unruly students but dealing with parents, which is saying something.
As a parent of two school-going children, I know the difficulties. You want to stay involved in your child's school and life because the times demand it. For an increasing number of parents, however, it seems to have gone from simple, lower-case parental involvement to bold-type, upper-case PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT, often to the detriment of the child.
Part of being a columnist is to be negative, and I don't want to be unduly that. I know that there are fine teachers in every school district and motivated students and moments of quiet glory when things click together marvelously. But when members of the public sit around and tut-tut about public school education, as we sometimes do, we would do well to remember that schools can only be as good or bad as the societies around them, and reflect, in a way, what goes on outside — parenting styles, attitudes toward education, the after-school hours kids spend on multiple media sources thus hampering their education, and much, much more.
Public school teachers can't tread on water, but we sometimes expect them to do just that.

Edible Fashions That Make a Tasty (or Tasteless) Statement (Slideshow)
What could staunch vegetarian activist Cloris Leachman have in common with the people who create meat hats? Edible fashion, of course! Leachman recently dressed up in cabbage leaves to show her love for pets, while the folks at the Meat Hats site, well, do exactly what you think they might...design headwear from hamburger and pork chops. This is the slideshow that bares all - beautiful, offbeat and even frightening examples of edible fashion.

There is an underlying problem causing the nursing shortage that has not been entirely addressed. So the question is, "Is the shortage created due to the amount of available nurses or is there a shortage of experienced nurses?" Long Island is flooded with new nurses, every fall and spring a new class of nurse graduates have successfully passed their academic requirements followed by the NCLEX exam.
Navigating your first year in nursing can be a bumpy road. If you didn't already have any healthcare experience such as CNA or medical assistant, getting your first RN job at a hospital can be next to impossible. If you graduated with your BSN, then you may get a few hospital interviews but it will be difficult to answer clinical questions such as, "what would you do if….?" So the question remains, what can the first year nurse do to get that coveted one-year experience to land that hospital job.
I went to a hospital interview and had the pleasure to speaking with the director of nursing. She gave me vital information that others never shared. I was told in nursing school that nursing homes would never be considered experience because clients went there to live out their final days and the care provided is not at the hospital level. However, modern times dictates that now several nursing homes are equipped to receive and care for patients on a subacute level. Many treatments and medications are those that are given in a hospital. Equally so, are home care positions. More and more clients are being release to their home with equipment such as the Jackson-Pratt for drainage or other devices that require a medical professional to address. So it is possible to get real clinical experience before applying for the hospital job. As a new nurse, look at all the options there are out there for you so you can gain the experience you need to get to the specialty of your choice. This was valuable information on what hospitals are looking at when choosing a candidate.
Another point. The industry has been driven by Magnet Status. Magnet Status is an award given by the American Nurses' Credentialing Center to hospitals that meet the criteria designed to measure the strength and quality of their nurses. A Magnet hospital is known for their excellence in nursing and patient outcomes. The nursing staff has a high level of job satisfaction, low staff nurse turnover rate and appropriate grievance resolution. Magnet status also includes nursing involvement in data collection and decision-making in patient care delivery. Magnet nursing leaders value staff nurses, involve them in research-based nursing practice, and encourage and reward the nursing staff to advance in nursing practice. The BSN in nursing has become an unwritten part of this process as well. BSN degree offers extensive academic work on nursing leadership and excellence. Even though hospitals like to hire individuals that already have their BSN in place, some will consider hiring those with their Associates with the understanding you will be on track within a certain amount of time to obtain your BSN in nursing.
In conclusion, the shortage in nursing is not the amount of nurses available but, the lack of experience the candidate possesses. So be open minded and look into other areas of nursing so you can set yourself up for success.

Home > Services > Nutrition Counseling
Those with a medical condition or disease have an extra obstacle but following an individualized diet is often part of successful treatment. This may require changing eating habits that have been learned over many years.
At North Kansas City Hospital, we recognize the need for long-term education and reinforcement for individuals to successfully take control of their health.
These health concerns and medical conditions can be addressed in individual nutrition counseling:
Why is a registered dietitian (RD) the person to see for nutrition counseling?
A registered dietitian (RD):
Our registered dietitians recommend several sessions for individuals with newly diagnosed or poorly controlled diabetes and those desiring weight management.
Nutrition Counseling requires a physician's order and diagnosis.
We urge individuals to verify insurance coverage prior to their appointment. Some insurance plans do not cover nutrition counseling while others cover multiple visits. Financial aid available.
Medicare Part B only covers nutrition counseling for diabetes, chronic renal disease (non-dialysis) and individuals with a recent kidney transplant. The benefit covers three hours of counseling the first year and two hours in subsequent years.
Eat complex carbohydrates, not simple carbs. Don't know what this difference is? Learn more about smart carbohydrate consumption.
One pound of fat is made up of roughly 3,500 extra calories. So in order to lose one pound of fat, you need to create a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories. Learn how to create a caloric deficit in your diet.
Follow some general guidelines for healthy eating and dieting and achieve balance in your diet to stay healthy and energetic.

Cynthia Mort, writer of Jodie Foster's The Brave One and a half-dozen Roseanne episodes, has had a Nina Simone biopic in the works for a few years. Now Zoe Saldana has stepped up for the title role, a spot Mary J. Blige had once occupied. David Oyelowo (The Help, The Last King of Scotland) will co-star as Simone's manager. Production begins in October. Watching Nina perform "Ne Me Quitte Pas" is an acceptable way to celebrate.

From Hollywood, Maryland, USA:
My son was found at the top of the stairs, sweating, racing heart rate and stating that he could not walk and was confused. His blood sugar was 51 mg/dl [2.8 mmol/L]. He had 3 ounces of orange juice. Thirty minutes later, when his blood sugar was 105 mg/dl [5.8 mmol/L], he vomited and complained he was very tired and just wanted to sleep. I rechecked his blood sugar an hour later and it was 168 mg/dl [9.3 mmol/L]. He had a glucose challenge. At three hours, his blood sugar was 54 mg/dl [3.0 mmol/L]. At home, his blood sugars have been running from 61 mg/dl [3.4 mmol/L] to 158 mg/dl [8.8 mmol/l]. The higher blood sugars are two hours after eating. The glucometer is calibrated correctly, because my sister is a type 1 diabetic. He has repeated the above situation three times. Is this something about which I should be concerned?
This could be the earliest stages of developing diabetes and could also just be hypoglycemia. I would suggest that you arrange for consultation with a pediatric endocrinologist with the likely recommendation of ongoing blood glucose monitoring and a meal plan that avoids simple sugars, provides some protein/fat every three hours. This usually works if it were only meal-food related hypoglycemia..

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
This past winter, I saw this picture of my friend and me at a show on Noisey (Vice's music site, in case you're not familiar with the many sites the brand has spawned), and thought, "Damn girl! You don't look like you're dying -- for once."
Thanks, bronzer!
(Really, though: I could've toned down my application JUST a bit. Wait, maybe not. Wait, who cares?)
As I was an outwardly morbid teenager whose beauty mission was to appear "dead" (seriously), I refused to touch any product that had the potential of making it look like blood was healthily flowing throughout my body. On top of that, I was also super anemic. (Which I didn't discover until I was pre-tested to donate blood, something I got extreme pleasure out of doing -- only because I LOVED blood. Morbidity!) My skin was almost translucent.
Nearly 10 years later, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction, where I'm now into looking a little sun-soaked. (Although hey, SPF, all the way!).
I know lots of you are into porcelain Evan Rachel Wood skin -- and duh, you can look not like a corpse from "CSI" without bronzer. But for those of us who're into that beach-y glow, here are some powders to add some faux-tan:
I recently converted to Estée Lauder's bronzer -- that's what I'm wearing in the above picture. AND YO, I'm not tan. I still have an iron deficiency, coat my body in SPF 50 constantly, and the only red meat I've had in the past month is an In-N-Out burger.
So rather than putting a powder that's obviously not the color of my white-white skin on my face, I use a technique that doesn't make it look like I smeared dirt on my face:
Using a blush brush, I swipe the bronzer powder at the tan spot: If my excellent paint job doesn't quite show you that exact location, it's just below your cheekbone. This creates some contouring.
On top of that (at the blue spot in the above pic) I'll apply a slighty lighter bronze color with some shimmer, still using a blush brush. I LOVE MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. It looks like space makeup! Blend the two upwards on your cheekbone, to about a half an inch outside the corner of your eye.
To finish, DROP THAT BLUSH BRUSH and use a fan brush with your bronzer o' choice. Make sure all the bristles are coated with powder, swipe it on the back of your hand to dust excess product off -- and to prevent the powder from being concentrated in one area -- and lightly swipe it over your forehead, nose, and chin.
If Estée's bronzer seems too fancy-schmancy for you, here are a few other choice picks:
Lots of people love Benefit's Hoola Bronzing Powder -- this was previously my go-to! Although it's a great hue that goes with lots of skin tones, if you don't apply it correctly, you'll TOTALLY look like you smeared dirt on your face. Even the woman selling the product at Benefit told me that. PLEASE THROW THE TINY BRUSH THAT COMES WITH IT OUT RIGHT AWAY. It is horrible. A fan brush for this product is a must.
For the drugstore option, I like NYC's Sun 'n' Bronze Powder in Montauk Bronze.
As for choosing what shade(s) of bronzer are right for you: It should be one to two shades darker than your skin tone. So there's your excuse to go to Sephora and play! You're welcome. And I'm sorry.
What's your favorite bronzer? Secret SHHH: My absolute favorite bronzer is this French brand you can only buy on eBay that a makeup artist once let me use and it's now my shallow lifelong goal to find it again. I hate that shit!

Renee Fields, Center Director
Ages: 6 Weeks to 5 YEAR-OLDS
Kimberly Parkway
Our center is accredited by NAC.
We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited - nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.

KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
Our Cooking Academy program teaches kids confidence in the kitchen through hands-on activities that build important math, science, and social skills. They'll learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and nutrition—and get to eat some delicious food made all on their own like carrot and turmeric hummus, pumpkin muffins, vegetable curry, black bean and sweet potato chili, and so much more!
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Our Teachers
We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though. KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply, we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
An Artist's Heart
"My classroom is full of art!" says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We're so proud to have been named one of Gallup's 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award. When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience an amazing place to learn and grow.
Our Families
Don't take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
My son started at Kindercare in 2012. I was very happy and pleased with the center, however I moved my son to another center to be with my older son. Without bad mouthing the other center, needless to say I brought my son back to KinderCare.
A happy Mom
April - KinderCare Parent
My grandson attended this KinderCare all 5 years of his life. I am very pleased with the education he received there. He is thriving well in the kIndergarten class he attends and the teacher wanted to know, "Where did he go to preschool at?" When I told her KinderCare she said they are doing a wonderful job there. I just gave her a big smile and asked her to spread the word because I felt the same way.
Proud G-ma,
Anita - KinderCare Parent
My children have learned so much since attending Kimberly Parkway KinderCare. I am happy with my decision in bringing them here. I have seen my children's knowledge grow over the past year and I'm so happy. I am sad that my 5 year old will leave soon but grateful for the time we share with KinderCare now.

Here is a great way to keep your horses tail out of the mud or snow. I use this method so that my horses tails will be full and long during the nice summer months. I should have zoomed in a little more on the figure 8 but you should be able to see it pretty good. I make the bottom loop of the 8 first and then pass the extra hair above and back through.
Tip for keeping horses tail out of mud

I do my mare's tail in knots similar to this but have never put vetrap on them. Does this make the knots easier to remove later (I've battled some serious tangles in the past)? How long do you generally leave them in before redoing them?Reply
Stacy on March 19, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Yes, it keeps the mud out as well as everything else. I take them down if the tail looks dirty and needs to be washed or if I notice hairs breaking. I try to put conditioner in the knot if I am leaving it up long. Over the winter when I am lazy I have left them up to a month on some horses.Reply
Tabitha on March 5, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Great now if you want his tail long how do you get them out? How many do i need to do if i do his tail like this?Reply
Laurie on March 5, 2012 at 9:45 am
great idea. Do you have any suggestions for helping to prevent rubbing of the mane from winter blankets? I live in Alberta Canada and my horse can maintain her mane for most of the winter despite blankets, but then as soon as shedding starts, she seems to rub out her mane ARGGGHHH!! I event and need to braid for dressage so this becomes tough! Plus a little mane for security on cross country is handy to have!Reply
Stacy on March 8, 2012 at 10:20 am
If it is the blanket rubbing then you can used a slinky to help but it sounds like she RUBS it out. I would probably try using MTG before the problem even begins. It is very oily and may prevent any itching she gets when shedding. One of our horses, a 2 year old, decided to rub his out last year. I did a photo shoot with him and then turned him out for the weekend. He came in BALD! I had to look a the photos to remember what he looked like. It is almost back now. That would be tough if it happened every year!Reply
Laurie on March 8, 2012 at 10:23 am
Thanks Stacy – I do have some of that, though I admit I hate the smell of it and haven't used it lately haha. I will give it a try as I've moved up to Prelim in eventing, and would really like some mane for the Cross Country 🙂Reply
nikki on March 5, 2012 at 9:40 am
🙂 thats an interessting way to do…Reply
Chary Mate, my paint, rolls in the mud like a little happy pig… so he sometimes has mud inside his ears!
I simply Braid his tail from top to bottom. So he has all fall and winter long a braided tail! 🙂
I love your little tip, but if I would start doing that on our farm, people would think that now I ve gone completely mad!! 😉 I would use the color red so for my forlegged grey one!
Thanks for all those cool and awesome tips. I love your blogg! Big cheers.
Tabitha on March 5, 2012 at 5:49 pm
How do you get the mad out of his ears.Now that i thank about it .My horse has something in his ear and now I thank it may be mud .how do i get that out of his ear? He will not let me touch that ear.I can see it .Reply

Watch how to make this recipe.
Place the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the sugar over them. Toss with the lemon juice and salt. Let the strawberries macerate and get juicy for 30 minutes to an hour.
Whip the heavy cream with the remaining tablespoon sugar until soft peaks. Then add the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
In an 8-ounce glass (or mason jar, which I like to use), layer some crumbled Grapevine KY Buttermilk Biscuits with some macerated strawberries and spoonfuls of whipped cream. Keep alternating layers until the jar is full, and then try not to eat like a complete animal. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place a heavy cast-iron skillet (preferably 12 inch) into the oven to preheat. Chill a large mixing bowl, pastry cutter, the flour and 1 stick of the butter in the freezer 15 minutes before assembling the biscuits.
Add the flour to the chilled mixing bowl. Working quickly, cut 1 stick of the butter into the flour using the chilled pastry cutter (or your fingers); the goal here is pea-size balls of butter. In batches, add in the buttermilk until the dough is cohesive yet still moist. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter or the business end of a dry measuring cup, cut out 10 biscuits. (Use the extra dough to cook up a big piece of shortcake for dessert....strawberry shortcake!)
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the oil. Place the dough rounds into the hot skillet, right up against each other, and brush with the melted butter. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes.

SAN SALVADOR, EL SALVADOR — Leftist rebels cut the power supply to the entire country late Sunday to protest an army raid against striking hospital workers that led to the deaths of five people, including a patient.
About 500 soldiers stormed a social security hospital earlier in the day to break up an illegal strike. They forced about 300 doctors, nurses and patients to lie face-down on the floor for two hours with their hands tied behind their backs, witnesses said.

PORT ALLEN —The Morganza to the Gulf hurricane protection system reauthorization took another step forward Friday when the Mississippi River Commission recommended approval of the plan to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chief in Washington, D.C.
The reauthorization plan for this levee system to protect Terrebonne Parish needed to get a recommendation from the Mississippi River Commission because the project will be funded through the Mississippi River and Tributaries project, which falls under the commission's authority.
The Morganza to the Gulf hurricane protection system has been in the works for more than 20 years and more than $70 million has been spent in planning and through the authorization process, Col. Ed Fleming, commander of the New Orleans district, explained Friday during the commission's annual high water inspection trip of the Mississippi River.
Planning for the levee system started in 1992 and it was first authorized by Congress in 2000. The project was authorized again in 2007, but the cost of building levees after Hurricane Katrina went up so much that the project had to go through a post-authorization review. Criteria for post-Katrina levee building changed the project's cost from an estimated $886 million in the 2007 to $10.6 billion, he said.
Fleming said that while no federal money has been made available to build the levee project in Terrebonne Parish, local residents have twice passed a tax to generate enough money to begin work.
"They have already started to build this project," Fleming said. "They are going forward with us or without us."
He added that the local- and state-funded levee work is being built along the federal alignment included in the corps plan and appears to be meeting federal standards.
In an earlier meeting of the commission Friday, several people made comments about the Morganza to the Gulf project because they wouldn't be allowed to comment during the briefing to the commission later in the day.
Reggie Dupre, executive director of the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District, thanked the corps for its work on the project, but emphasized that there's already been a lot of work and study done on the levee system.
"After $72 million and 21 years, we're ready to move forward," Dupre said.
Currently, the plan calls for a 98-mile levee system at an elevation of 15.5 feet to 26.5 feet and includes 22 navigable floodgates and 23 box culverts with sluice gates.
Jerome Zeringue, executive director of the state Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, also voiced the state's support for the project and said the funding the locals and the state have put toward construction demonstrates this support.
"You cannot question the commitment of the state and locals," he said.
However, Cynthia Sarthou, executive director of the Gulf Restoration Network, said there are still concerns about building this large levee system around so much existing wetlands. Although the system is supposed to be a "leaky levee" — meaning there are many openings to connect the wetlands inside the levee system with those that are outside the levee system — the concern is how long that will last, she said.
Sarthou said the concern is that with so many structures to maintain, it could be easier for the local sponsor of the project to just keep those structures closed. In addition, she said, with the rate of relative sea level rise, it's possible that by the time the system is built the levee district might be forced to keep the gates closed most of the time.
Fleming responded that 85 percent of the current levee alignment runs along existing barriers to water movement such as natural ridges. In addition, he said a study of relative sea level rise found that even at the highest rate, it would be 50 years into the project — or 2085 — before there's a scenario where the gates would need to be closed for extended periods of time.
Fleming also added that the corps has gone through the plan looking for ways to reduce the estimated cost of $10.6 billion and found some areas that could be changed to realize between a 10 to 30 percent reduction in the cost, Fleming said. The current timeline would have the system closed in by 2024 and completed with final elevations by 2035.
Dirt levees in south Louisiana need to be built in stages because the organic soils compact and settle over time, so it's standard to build the first stage and then add "lifts" to that elevation, he explained.
The positive recommendation from the Mississippi River Commission Friday will be one more piece of information the corps chief will use when working on a chief's report.
The chief's report, expected to be completed and signed this summer, is needed before the project can continue through the reauthorization process and ultimately to congressional approval. If reauthorized, the next step would be to pursue federal money to start work on the project.

Jessica Alba: Darn You, Ross! Darn You!
Jessica Alba shows off her fake tooth on TRL Thursday (taped Tuesday) in New York City.
"[Costar Dane Cook and I] did all of our love scenes in one day and I chipped a tooth and I lost a tooth, isn't that disgusting? We're smashing our faces together, it's not the slowest, most romantic love scene."
The self-proclaimed klutz also elaborated on her acceptance speech from the Teen Choice Awards after winning the female hottie award. She originally said:
"I would like to dedicate this award to a young man who has been on my mind for the last 19 years: Ross. Ross didn't love me. I was pigeon-toed, I had a sway back, I was slightly cross-eyed, buck-toothed, I sucked my thumb. (laughs) Look at me now, Ross! Look at me now!"
On TRL, Alba explained Ross and her were mere 7-years-olds. "I was the only girl in a huge group of boys," she said. "I was always playing sports with the boys and they were always picking me last. I remember when he wanted to kiss me, he said if I kissed him, he would pick me first for his team. I kissed him… but he still picked me last."
FYI: Alba is wearing wore a Yigal Azrouel cropped jacket, Colette jewels and a hot new pair of Christian Louboutin Super T shoes.

Japanese exam over! Think I failed the reading section (going over some of the questions in my head and realised I answered lots wrong).... :( so saaaad, but I only did it for fun to see how much I can achieve. ^_^ Think positive Geek! Think positive! Awaiting for October to come for the results!!!
Started following The Coconut Collaborative on Twitter, and thought this is an interesting concept using coconut milk as yogurt.
Then when I went to a Sainsbury's to buy it, it was practically the least touched yogurt in the fridge.
1. It's expensive
2. They were in tiny pots
Although being so small and expensive, I bought them anyway.
They come in a tiny pot with a cardboard packaging. They are naturally dairy free, and so they're good for those seeking a dairy free diet... probably ok for vegans too.
I think they could have done more with the pot and left out the cardboard... may have saved them a few pennies.
Tried the Natural flavour first. It's creamy. You can tell they tried to add some natural sour flavours in. Could taste a lot of coconut milk in it... My least favourite of the three.
Next up the Blueberry flavour. This was a nicer flavour with some sweet blueberries at the bottom. This went well with the yogurt. My favourite of the three.
And finally the mango flavour. This wasn't too sweet. I didn't think it combined well with the yogurt. I could hardly taste the mango!
All finished! Blueberry wins!
If you're rich, then go buy them. They're £1.55 each!!! If you're not into expensive yogurt, then go and buy big pots of natural yogurt - the dairy kind.

Custom designed signage and graphics offer great opportunity to create or reinforce brand identity. Some examples of custom signage designed for various projects include:
ExOfficio Retail Stores
The first Exofficio prototype design at Sea Tac airport was blessed with a location inside the new Central Terminal marketplace that had a billboard sized storefront. We took full advantage of this opportunity with a Magellan projection world map that was a perfect presentation for the brand. The promise of travel/adventure was enhanced with the replica float plane hovering beyond the storefront. Inside the store, edge lit symbol signs were created to communicate the iconic language of Exofficio merchandise.
The second retail street location offered less of an opportunity, having to comply with city signage restrictions. A fully dimensional globe was created to augment the identity sign, becoming a symbolic icon for the street. Inside the store, a new floor logo sign was stained into the concrete.
At JFK airport, very strict signage guidelines dictated the storefront design and basic signage approach. To comply with the guidelines, we designed a backlit graphic overlay film using a traditional USGS topographic map of favorite New York state locations to convey the brand's promise for travel and adventure. For the interior of the store we created a complete graphics package manual for point of purchase signage and brand reinforcement. The full package has not yet been implemented.
Diablo's Cantina
The huge exterior sign fronting the Las Vegas strip was championed by our clients, MGM and The Light Group and we had little influence over it. Inside the cantina, we created a variety of way finding signage as necessary communication in a sprawling facility. The vintage style neon and painted metal signs were also a fun way to convey the brand personality. A few examples are shown here. The way finding signage and other straightforward and sometimes humorous signage sayings that are concentrated over the bar or sprinkled throughout the venue were inspired by the look of raucous drinking holes typical in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
A signature element of the Roadrunner venues has been the use of signage. The signature rooftop identity sign was designed to be a highly visible beacon in an auto dominated landscape. Iconic silhouette and "homey" ranch signage is used to repeatedly cement the brand. A funny, surprising thing about Las Vegas is its strict signage ordinances which do not allow a sign to project over the roof parapet line. This is why the Roadrunner roof sign has a short wall behind it and also why we created custom backdrops for the wall mounted "cowboy" sign.

Question: What's the biggest obstacle you've overcome?
Michael Kupperman: Well, when I was younger, we lived in England, and then we moved back here and I had an accent for several years that wasn't the best. But as far as, I think the biggest obstacle I have to overcome is being tall. It makes you very visible and you have to compensate a lot for that.

AS Blackburn Rovers wait for Monday night's televised visit of Wigan Athletic knowing defeat at Ewood Park could seal their Premier League relegation, one man can't help but draw striking similarities to the past.
Matt Jansen was a member of Brian Kidd's Rovers squad, whose drop into the Championship was confirmed by a 0-0 draw with Manchester United live on TV on the penultimate match of the 1998/99 season. He fears the same fate on Monday.
But while Jansen and co were able to ultimately enjoy a happy ending with a quick return, the former Rovers striker is struggling to see a similarly bright future, after admitting there could be no way back this time.
Jansen considers his four years at Ewood Park as his career highlight, especially scoring the goal at Preston that sealed Rovers' Premier League return in 2001.
Now, with new owners Venky's showing little signs of being able to take the club forward, Jansen admits the signs are not good as he almost resigns himself to seeing the club he still loves stuck in the doldrums.
He said: "When we went down last time, thankfully we still had Jack Walker's money to bounce back into the Premier League, albeit in the second season. That first season was a massive learning curve and in the second year we did it.
"I fear this time round though whether Rovers will be able to get back into the Premier League.
"You have to question this time whether there is the ability, the funds or the ambition to bounce back again.
"The problem is if you don't get back within two years, things go stale and it gets harder and harder. As well as Jack Walker's money, we still had the parachute payments coming in and we knew it would become very difficult for us after that second year.
"The Championship is the most difficult league to get out of, without exception. It is fast and furious and so different to the Premier League. You play a lot of football and it is a fight, it takes some getting used to from what you are used to in the Premier."
All is not yet lost for Rovers as they precariously cling to their Premier League status.
A win for either QPR or Bolton tomorrow though will leave Steve Kean's needing two wins from the last two games to even stand a chance of survival.
Jansen, 34, is still keeping his fingers crossed for a miracle.
He is expecting relegation but stresses the importance of doing everything they can to avoid it.
"I remember that day against Manchester United, we got relegated with a draw," he said.
"It was on television and it was a really horrible feeling. You obviously hope the same doesn't happen again.
"It is a huge game on Monday, absolutely massive. I have to say though things don't look good, because even if we win we will probably have to win at Chelsea – and even that might not be enough. It is of course a must win game to even stand a chance.
"I fear for Blackburn Rovers if they go down and that is why I am keeping my fingers crossed that they survive. I expect Rovers to go down but I hope they can get a couple of results and other results go their way to prove me wrong."
Jansen is not the only one who has little faith in Rovers' owners to bring about a quick return should the worst happen.
Their track record over the past 18 months leaves them deserving little else.
The now Chorley player-coach is quick to say he hopes he is proved wrong – citing Newcastle's stunning turnaround – but admits he would be surprised if he was.
He said: "If they do go down it is up to the club to prove everyone wrong because not many would expect them to come back up.
"I was playing golf with Dwight Yorke earlier in the week and we were comparing the situation between Blackburn and Newcastle.
"People were hammering Mike Ashley for what he was doing at Newcastle and his appointment of Alan Pardew. Look where they are now.
"You can only hope the same thing happens.
"We both fear it wouldn't though. Venky's are not Blackburn through and through and you are just not sure whether there is that real ambition to see the club be a real success.
"I hope we are wrong. The circumstances feel different.
"Blackburn is a family club, it is a community. If they go down it would be a massive shame and I think it would be very difficult to get back up."
Jansen himself is showing potential in the coaching circles, as he continues to impress alongside Chorley boss and fellow ex-Rovers star Garry Flitcroft.
He said: "We are going to crack on with Chorley.
"In the long term myself and Garry are just trying to progress.
"I am 34 and obviously have ambitions. I would be stupid to say I wouldn't love to come back to Blackburn one day. "

Condom recipe cookbook about to hit bookstores
What might possibly be the world's most unappetizing cook book is about to hit shelves in Japan, and the main ingredient in this book of recipes is sure to turn you off.
Contrary to what one may assume, this cookbook is not going to be published as a joke. The Condom Cookbook has a bunch of recipes of dishes focused on just that; condoms. Condom-wrapped spring rolls, sukiyaki, you name it. Anything you can think of that can be made with condoms, it's in the cookbook.
The crazy thing about this book is that the publishers claim that it was not made as a joke, as everybody would think. Because condom use in Japan is not as common as it could be, the publishers wanted a way to reach out to the sexually active, and in making a condom recipe book, promote condom awareness.
Can exes sort through old feelings and new relationships to find true love? Find out in Discovery of Romance
Now who would want to unwrap a condom when eating a summer roll is beyond me. If anything, this book does induce conversation, and maybe that's just what the publishers intended.
Safe eating!
"I want to make my sweetheart a condom dinner."

How to ride a bike
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Teaching someone how to ride a bike is easy and rewardingRiding a bike is a major milestone in a person's life. No matter how old you are when you learn, you always remember the way you felt when you were able to take off on that bike on your own.
If you want to teach someone how to ride a bike, you may not know where to begin. But when you think about it, you will likely come up with the logical steps to riding and be able to teach in no time.
Safety First
The most important aspect of riding a bike is being safe about it. No matter what your age, you must wear a bike helmet. Some states even has laws regulating the use of helmets. If you fall off of your bike or have a crash, a helmet can protect you and possibly prevent serious injury or even death. Even if you are totally safe when you ride, you are still able to get into an accident because of the other bikers around you.
Make sure the helmet fits the head properly and that it is positioned on the head in the right way. The helmet should also sit level on your head, not tilted up or back. Additionally, elbow and knee pads are also a good idea, particularly when you are teaching a child who could easily fall off.
Balancing Basics
Riding a bike is all about having balance; therefore, teaching a person how to balance on the bike is essential. Take the training wheels off of the bike – if there are any – and lower the seat. Also, remove the pedals. The person learning should be able to sit on the bike with his or her feet flat on the ground. The seat should only be lowered enough so that the legs are straight, not bent. Encourage the rider to scoot around on the bike. Once that is mastered, the rider should lift his or her feet off the ground and try to stay upright. The rider should also practice turning corners.
Putting on the Pedals
When you feel the student is able to balance without any issues, go ahead and put the pedals back on. Have the person stand over the bike with one foot on the ground, while the pedal is in the two-o'clock position. Then have him or her move the pedal forward with his or her foot. This helps the student get familiar with pedaling the bike. Now the rider can sit on the bicycle seat and attempt to push the pedals in order to get the bike moving. You can set a cone or cracker about 15 feet in front and tell the student to hit the object. Doing so creates a goal that the rider will try to meet.
Safely Stopping
As you can probably imagine, teaching the rider how to stop is super important. Depending on the type of bike, the brakes might be operated by the feet or hands. Set up the cone or cracker again and tell the rider to stop before he or she gets there. Increase the distance each time and eventually, the student will get the hang of it.
Teaching someone how to ride a bike is a skill that will stay in that person's mind forever. The student will also likely remember what a great teacher you were, so stay patient and encouraging.

In the main, as the Emergency Planning Officer
for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, I welcome the
proposals contained in the draft Bill. I await the detail that
is to follow in the drafting of regulations and guidance before
resting totally content.
I have concerns, as highlighted in the answers
to the questions posed, as to the arrangements within London and
the financial implications but feel sure that the consultation
over the drafting of the regulations will allow an opportunity
to explore these concerns.
I have responded to the questions as shown below.
Q1. Is the definition of emergency the right
one? If not, in what ways should it be tightened or expanded to
exclude certain classes of event or situation?
The definition, as it stands, does not include
an element of scale and could therefore apply to a relatively
minor road traffic accident or small fire. In the document issued
by the Cabinet Office "Dealing with Disaster" the definition
of a major emergency includes the following ". . . on such
a scale that the effects cannot be dealt with by the emergency
services, local authorities and other organisations as part of
their normal day to day activities". The inclusion of this
phrase would make the definition more relevant to Civil Protection.
Q2. Do you agree that the obligations imposed
on Category 1 and 2 responders by or under the new framework will
ensure operationally effective and financially efficient planning
and response to emergencies at the local level? If not how should
these obligations be increased or reduced?
The explanation given in the consultation document
should provide for a suitable framework. Much will depend on the
regulations and guidance issued under the Bill when enacted.
Q3. Do you agree that the membership of Categories
1 and 2 is right? If not, which organisations should be added,
moved or removed?
It is believed that Category 1 should include
the Primary Care Trusts and that Category 2 should include bus
and coach operators.
Q4. Do you agree that the Bill gives the
Government the right balance of regulation making powers to meet
its aims of consistency and flexibility? If not, please explain
how the powers should be expanded or constrained.
It will be easier to answer this question when
the details of the regulations and guidance are known. There will
be the possibility of amending regulations and guidance, which
will allow the required flexibility.
Q5. Do you agree that consistent arrangements
for multi-agency working should be established, through the creation
of Local Resilience Forums? If not, how else should consistency
be established?
It is assumed that in London the Local Resilience
Forum will be at borough level and the London Resilience Forum
dealing with the regional. If this is the case the burden placed
on the small number of utility companies to meet at 33 Local Resilience
Forums would prove to be onerous. It would be more effective if
they were to meet with a smaller number of boroughs such as those
in the existing Mutual Aid Groups.
Q6. Do you agree that the partial Regulatory
Impact Assessment accurately reflects the costs and benefits of
the Bill proposals? If not, how should it be changed?
It is agreed that it is not possible to be specific
at this stage about the potential regulatory impact. Much will
depend on the regulations and guidance drafted under the proposed
Q7. Do you agree that funding for Category
1 local authorities should be transferred from specific grant
(Civil Defence Grant) to Revenue Support Grant? If not, why should
specific grant be retained?
Those consulted prior to the drafting of the
legislation expressed reservations as to the moving of funding
to the Revenue Support Grant. Those views are supported.
Q8. Do you agree that the level of funding
to support the Bill is sufficient? If not, please explain why
you believe it to be too high or too low.
Funding is sufficient to support current civil
protection activity. However, this may change if further activity
is required when the regulations and guidance are published.
Q9. Do you agree that performance should
be audited through existing mechanisms? If not, what mechanism
would you like to see established?
It is agreed that auditing locally and by the
NAO should continue.
Q10. Do you agree with the role of Regional
Nominated Co-ordinator? If not, who should take responsibility
at the regional level, and with what responsibilities?
It is agreed there is a need for a person to
be identified in the planning stages of civil protection to act
as a focal point for both planning and operational response.
Q11. Do you agree with the principle of applying
special legislative measures on a regional basis? Please explain
your answer.
This is agreed, many incidents in recent years,
such as flooding, have been of a wide local nature and would require
emergency powers to be limited to that area and not the whole
Q12. Do you agree that the current emergency
powers framework is outdated and needs to be replaced? If you
do not think it should be replaced, please explain why.
Yes agree.
Q13. Do you agree that the circumstances
in which special legislative measures may be taken should be widened
from limited threats to public welfare to include threats to the
environment, to the political, administrative and economic stability
of the UK and threats to its security resulting from war or terrorism.
If not, how would you like to see the circumstances narrowed or
Q14. Do you agree that the use of special
legislative measures should be possible on a sub-UK basis? If
not please explain.
Q15. Do you agree that authority to declare
that special legislative measures are necessary should remain
with the Queen as Head of State, acting on the advice of Ministers?
If not, who should it sit with?
Q16. Do you agree that in the event of the
process of making a Royal Proclamation would cause a delay which
might result in significant damage or harm, a Secretary of State
should be able to make the declaration in the place of the Queen
as Head of State, acting on the advice of Ministers? If not, is
delay acceptable or is there another alternative mechanism?
Yes agree. A delay is not acceptable, it is
essential that in the event of Emergency Powers being needed there
are no delays.
Q17. Do you agree that emergency regulations
should be treated as primary legislation for the purposes of the
Human Rights Act? If not, please explain why.
QQ18 to 22. Ask questions which relate to
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only.
Q23. Do you agree that London should have
different arrangements for co-operation, and that the proposals
set out are the right way to deliver this? If not, what arrangements
should be put in place?
The make up of local government in London demands
that the local authority arrangements be different. The London
Resilience Forum is an established body and seems to function
efficiently. The question of local resilience forums needs more
clarification. As stated in the answer to Q5 the burden placed
on utilities to attend 33 local resilience forums will be onerous.
Each London borough currently meets with its own emergency services
and NHS Trusts and plans for Local resilience. In order to include
the utilities and others in Category 2 use should be made of the
existing five Mutual Aid Groups in London. It is believed that
if the Groups were put on to a legal footing they would provide
a practical solution, allowing the co-operation envisaged in the
A Morris

A day after St. Sabina grammar school withdrew from the Southside Catholic Conference, Cardinal Francis George held a closed-door meeting Friday with several pastors, hoping to salvage an agreement to keep the mostly black school in the predominantly white athletic league.
The meeting failed to resolve the issue.
While church leaders gathered inside St. Barnabas in Beverly, St. Sabina Athletic Director Chris Mallette and some 70 members of St. Sabina parish lined up in front of the church holding signs that said, "Standing for Righteousness" and "Pastor and Coach We Support You."
