1987-1988: Ivan Sygoda, Pentacle
From 2004:
I've been assigned the pleasant task of recounting, or at least ruminating upon, the history of NAPAMA on the occasion of our organization's 20th anniversary. By virtue of having been present at the creation, I am assumed to be the repository of information worth sharing about the who, what, where, when and why of the enterprise. Alas, I am the dimmest of historians. My memory is a sieve. My sense of time is warped. I remember causes as effects and vice versa. I forget names. Nor can I look them up, since I discarded many relevant files in the great office cleaning binge of 1994. Perdu à jamais? Yes, at least until I happen upon some magic Madeleine that will make it all whoosh back up from the dank repository of such things. Or until John Gingrich remembers for me.
Nevertheless, images from the past do well up, and they are mostly images of the Resource Room. And NAPAMA meetings at booking conferences about the Resource Room. When one reflects on it a bit, this makes perfect sense. To use an energetic expression, the Resource Room is where the rubber meets the road. It's where our idea of the business encounters the reality of the business. It's the mirror in which our intentions are reflected back as our actions. If you're in one kind of mood, think Allegory of the Cave. If you're in another kind of mood, think No Exit. No wonder they call it the Pit!
An early memory, from at least twenty years ago: The Pit feels humongous, and I feel very small. I hardly know anybody. We dance managers cling to one another like dateless teenagers at a high school dance. The "big" presenters only talk to the "big" managers. The rest of us talk to ourselves. They seem so distinguished and experienced, these important managers and agents. They're smooth, suave and sophisticated. Their artists are actually famous. They sponsor hospitality events that must cost as much as my cousin's Bar Mitzvah. But at a meeting they are complaining vociferously. They can't read names on badges. They can't distinguish managers from presenters. The hall is so poorly lit one can't even see the displays. There's no traffic, no respect. It costs too much. It isn't worth it. There has to be a better way.
In some perverse way, this was a comfort. I had thought it was just me and my own inexperience and ineptness, and so I tagged along eagerly as my (then) elders and (still) betters pooled their energies and established the National Association of Performing Arts Managers and Agents. We spent many hours the first few years promulgating lists: of things the convention planners did wrong, of ways to do it right. To hear some people talk, you'd think there was a plot against managers.
Scan forward twenty years. Some things haven't changed. Sometimes I still can't read the name badges, but now it's because I left my bifocals in my other jacket. They still won't take phone calls, but at least I've learned not to take it personally. And my mother still can't explain to her girlfriends in Florida exactly what it is I do for a living.
But many things have changed, and for the better. Thanks to the collective efforts of NAPAMA and the individual energies of its members...
We have made our voice not only audible but indispensable in the national and regional forums that govern important parts of the arts marketplace. We have been accepted as full voting members of the organizations that matter to us, and NAPAMA members have been elected to their governing boards. NAPAMA liaisons help plan every meeting. Conversely, presenters participate on NAPAMA's board.
We promulgated guidelines for ethical behavior that embrace most of our business relationships and that most of the field seems to have embraced in turn.
Our advocacy efforts have helped pierce the carapace of such bureaucracies as the INS. Our collective ability to marshal facts and wield clout has helped ensure a freer flow of artists across borders.
Acting in concert, we have been able to reduce the costs of doing business for our members and increase our efficiency.
In Joanne Rile's apt formulation, we have truly become "the collegial voice in a competitive business."
Most important, perhaps, in achieving these things, we have empowered ourselves to bring the full depth and breadth of our arts knowledge, passion and experience to the table. A generation ago (yes, it's been a generation), we could fulminate about getting no respect. Now, as we enter a new century and millennium, we're proud to march arm in arm with all our colleagues: presenters, funders and service providers, in common service to the performing and creative artists we all cherish.
From 2009:
It was a time of transition in the field. In retrospect, the changes were more wrenching than it felt at the moment because we were focused on details and symptoms. For the metaphorically inclined, we were tripping over tree roots and didn't always see the forest changing around us.
We spent a great deal of time and energy sparring with conference organizers about what more of us now see as minutiae - name badge parameters, booth lighting and décor, schedules, lists and access. Of course, a lot depended on who was doing the seeing, and how vocal they were. "Aye," to quote the bard, "there's the rub."
Here's my take on the forest, grossly simplified: In the beginning, before even my time and before the primacy of the non-profit model fostered by the NEA, the field was defined by rather powerful and very knowledgeable and experienced classical music agents who controlled access to world-famous artists that important presenters needed in order to attract audiences hungry for "culture" and willing/able to pay for it. That world has changed since then, not overnight but faster than the speed at which coastlines change. The titans (and I use the word admiringly) were slowly being disempowered by evolutions in demographics, taste and cultural delivery systems, and they did what most good people do in similar circumstances: They felt threatened and disrespected and worried they were less relevant than before. One of the reasons NAPAMA was established in the first place was to claim collectively the respect only some of us felt we were accorded individually. I remember clearly one of our early clarion calls: "Why won't they use us as the resource we are?" (Plus ça change, eh?)
I won't name names (I can't remember some of them, anyway), but there was testiness and, here and there, unseemly bits of desperation. (I do remember that fellow whose wife was a pianist!) The marketplace felt chaotic. The rules seemed unclear. This is more or less when we began to think about a code of ethics for ourselves. We managed to take the high road and it proved the wisest strategy. I take no special credit; these kinds of sea changes can only happen if we all work together. If I had a bit of a leg up, it was because Pentacle was non-profit and our dance artists were not (ahem) the most lucrative offerings in the Pit, I mean Resource Room. (It would be illuminating to examine the euphemisms we have adopted over the years to designate that piece of real estate.) I was a nice guy and unthreatening, so far as I know. If Arts Presenters was going to put a Manager on its Board, which it finally did, I was perhaps the least contentious choice. We were all proud of all of us, as I recall, and we all rose to the occasion together.

Watch their experience
Our students rate us as No1.
Choose a Testdriver
The TestDrive Dundee experience gave me a brilliant insight of what university is really like whilst showing the best of Dundee as a city. The university is right in the heart of the city and has a big campus with a mixture of grand old buildings and awesome new state-of-the-art ones.
The trip was a great experience. The university has amazing high-tech facilities and really seems to go the extra mile for all of their students.
I would love to go to the University of Dundee in the future as the people were so friendly, the atmosphere was amazing and it was basically a city dedicated to students.
The whole thing was a fantastic experience. The university was great and the facilities available to the students are amazing. I particularly enjoyed having a nosy around the union, the variety of places for students to go and eat or just relax is brilliant, plus the library and its technology is an amazing asset for students.
To be honest, I absolutely adore Dundee now. The city is quaint and quirky, it has its own little perks and hidden gems and enough to explore which I absolutely love. The students and staff are so genuine and they're not afraid to approach you or lend a helping hand.

Many people are interesting in purchasing iPhones, but lack sufficient knowledge of their capabilities. The good thing is, there are many articles such as this one online that will show you some simple tips anyone can use. If you'd like to know about a few iphone tips, just keep reading this article.
The iphone makes finding your way around a breeze. The map application that is included in your phone's software will allow you to see your location anywhere that you have service. This app can help you find your way home, or it can assist you in locating and exploring entirely new destinations.
Lower your iPhone's brightness to save your battery. Do that by adjusting brightness in Settings to a reduced level. If you do this, you can save a great amount of battery. If you want your phone to be as charged as possible, this is especially important.
Once you know how the volume button can be used to take a photo, try using the headphone cord to snap a picture. Steady your hands, and then press the button located on the cord. This will help you ensure you don't shake your phone and create a blurry picture.
You can set reminders based on location with your iphone. Rather than saying a time-based reminder to Siri, you can use a different command. You have the ability to ask Siri to tell you to visit to dry cleaner when you leave your house. This adds another layer of customization to your iphone. Now the phone will be able to detect when you're at home instead of relying on the time. Setting reminders has never been easier.
Buy a screen to protect your phone. This will help to prevent scratches, which can damage the look of your device. It is easy for small particles on your fingers to create scratches. Be certain to always keep a protector on the screen of your iphone.
When visiting a webpage, you should try scrolling with one finger and with two fingers. If you are browsing a page that is divided up into boxes, you only have to scroll with one finger between the boxes. You can scroll through the main page with two fingers.
If you are going to email someone or send them a note, there are suggested words that make this process easy. If you do not want to use this feature, it is simple to close it. Simply press the screen anywhere and the box goes away.
Just like with lots of other smartphones, the iphone can be set to give you visual indicators of when you receive calls and/or messages. For a more stealthy notification, you can set the LED to blink, flash, and sometimes even go different colors. To access this feature go into the "accessibility" tab under the settings menu. Choose the feature "LED flash" for alerts.
You can take screenshots with your phone. Whenever you're on a screen you want to snap, hold down the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously. The screen will turn a white color when your screenshot has been taken and saved. It's that simple!
If your iphone accidentally falls into a liquid, avoid turning it back on right away as a means of seeing whether it's working. Instead, remove as much water as possible from the device, then allow it to dry overnight. Turning on a wet phone causes a short circuit that may destroy your phone forever.
You can mark emails as unread; however, the option is not visible on the main, mail screen. Just go to details and click on the unread feature; when you re-open your e-mail it will appear as an unread message.
A great tip if you own an iphone is to start using Facebook on it. Many people already know this, but there are some who are unaware of the phone's ability to use Facebook.
Minimize the amount of time you spend typing on your iphone. One option is to access the Keyboard menu from the Settings section. You can then add your own shortcut. By accomplishing this, it is easy to preprogram longer word combinations if you type them a lot. When you then need to use them, you can use these shortcuts rather than having to type them out repetitively.
If you wish to stop composing a message with intentions of finishing it later, simply tap 'Cancel'. You will be prompted to save, don't save, or cancel. If you select save, a copy of the message will be saved in your drafts. The iphone makes it easy by creating a Drafts folder for you, if you do not already have one in place.
You can get to your favorites and your iPod controls right away. Just go to your settings screen, then general and then home. Then you can customize by clicking twice, then select the options you prefer to customize. This is a pretty straightforward process.
There are many ways to go through your iPhone's contact list. You can tap one letter and jump to the contact, scroll through the list with your finger or just press on the list. You can use the last way to scroll quickly.
Social Media
The iphone gives you the ability to take advantage of many social media functions. Keep up with your friends as you live your life through sites like Twitter or Facebook. Stay connected to the latest developments with the most popular social media applications.
It can be tough to scroll in a smaller window in Safari from your iphone. You may find it difficult to keep track of where you are on the page. If you are having trouble, try zooming in on the window first. Then, use two fingers rather than one in order to scroll down the list.
Iphone Tricks
Now, after reading the above article, you should be somewhat familiar with a lot of iphone tricks that are simple and cool to use. Apply the information gained here, and you can get the most out of your device and gain a desire to learn additional tricks. Use this information and you can show off your iphone tricks to your friends.

YOU CAN'T drive five blocks in the city without seeing a giant "Alex Cross" billboard with Tyler Perry in Shaft's raincoat, shotgun at the ready.
With this new thriller, the erstwhile Medea makes the bold bid to cross-over from cross-dressing comedian to movie tough guy.
How does he do?
Well, you can't tell from "Alex Cross," a shockingly incompetent major studio release that strands Perry in a poorly written and poorly executed police procedural.
Perry has the title role here (based on James Patterson's character, but on no particular book) as a brainiac detective whose legendary profiling powers have made him the go-to guy in Detroit for lurid homicides.
And there are plenty of those in "Cross," which on some level wants to be a "Silence of the Lambs"-ish spectacle offering girl torture and a colorful serial killer, all while staying within the confines of a PG-13 rating.
The psycho here (emaciated Matthew Fox) announces himself by binding, drugging and then carving up a helpless woman, a sequence that culminates with the poor gal's fingers in a bowl (when this guy says he got her digits, he means it).
It's a measure of just how flat-footed "Cross" is that director Rob Cohen tries to shock us with this prologue, then plays the bowl of fingers for slapstick laughs not five minutes later.
"Alex Cross" turns out to be massively confused about everything - what kind of mood it wants to sustain, what kind of character Cross is.
Cross is meant to be an intuitive genius on the order of Sherlock Holmes, but there is no plot here to show us his alleged powers of deductive reasoning.
Instead, additional killings (expendable actress alert!) turn Cross into a rampaging vigilate bad-ass, and the movie can't make this sale either - the action here is about as dull as you'll ever see in a movie that costs this much money.
Where did the money come from? General Motors, apparently. Director Cohen contorts nearly every scene so as to feature a Cadillac, Tahoe or Suburban - it appears to be his top priority.
We understand the movie is set in the Motor City, and that taxpayers are still on the hook for a billion or so. But if you want to help GM, you have to make a better movie than this.

Washington: US President Barack Obama has said that he was not worried about radiation from the quake hit Japanese nuclear power plant reaching Hawaii.
Asked about whether he is worried about the radiation
from Japan reaching the US shores, Obama said, "No. I`ve been
assured that it...any nuclear release dissipates by the time
it gets even to Hawaii, much less to the mainland of the US."
"I do think it`s important for us to think through
constantly how we can improve nuclear technologies to deal
with additional safety concerns," Obama said when asked about
the safety of nuclear plants in the US during an interview
with a Pittsburgh television station.
"We constantly monitor? I asked this question of our
nuclear regulatory commission. We constantly monitor seismic
activity," he said.
Obama said all energy sources have downsides and none
are foolproof, adding that the US learned that last summer
during the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Earlier in the day, Energy Secretary Steven Chu
announced that the Department of Energy has offered Japan an
aerial measuring system capability, including detectors and
analytical equipment used to provide assessments of
contamination on the ground. In total, the DOE team includes
34 people.
"We have offered our Japanese friends disaster
response experts, search and rescue teams, technical advisors
with nuclear expertise, and logistical support from the United
States military," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
The president is being kept up to date and is
constantly being briefed by his national security staff.
The national security staff in the White House is also
coordinating a large inter-agency response with experts
meeting around the clock to monitor the latest information
coming out of Japan, he said.
The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) said it has
sent nine additional experts to Tokyo to provide assistance as
requested by the Japanese government. Acting as part of a US
Agency for International Development assistance team, the NRC
has dispatched the experts to Tokyo to provide assistance as
requested by the Japanese government, it said.
The first members of the team left the US Monday
evening and were due to arrive in Tokyo Wednesday afternoon.
The team includes additional reactor experts, international
affairs professional staffers, and a senior manager from one
of the NRC`s four operating regions.
Meanwhile, Obama has asked the NRC to evaluate the
situation of nuclear power plants in the US and incorporate
the lessons learnt from the Japanese nuclear tragedy in its
review, according to the White House.
"He (Obama) has asked the NRC to evaluate the
situation, the lessons learned from Japan as that information
comes available and to incorporate it in its overall reviews
of the safety and security of the reactors here in the United
States," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
Noting that this is what the NRC does in any case,
Carney said Obama has added his voice, which is a singular and
substantial voice, to the call for the need to do that today.
"We have very specific and detailed plans in how
response would be coordinated and which agencies would take
the lead. Depending on what kind of incident we`re discussing
here, there is not a one-size-fits-all response, we believe,
and that`s why we take the approach we take," he said.
The NRC is responsible for all the facilities and for
the licensing and permitting the evaluations of their safety
standards and the upgrade of their safety procedures if they
so deem it necessary.
If the NRC decided that a facility was no longer safe,
either because of something that had happened in that facility
or because of new information, it has the authority to take
the steps necessary to suspend activity at that facility or to
shut it down.
Carney said the NRC has made the judgment that US
facilities are safe and secure. "They are constantly
evaluating their standards, their procedures, taking in new
information, and making adjustments accordingly. That would
apply to old reactors as well as newer ones," he said.
Post tsunami in Indonesia, NRC had performed a review
of safety measures and made evaluations based on that in terms
of the safety and security of US nuclear facilities.
"So it simply stands to reason that you make models
for various scenarios and every time there is new information
that comes in from an actual event you take that data and you
analyze it and you examine whether or not it affects the
models you have for safety and security of your facilities,"
he said.

The birthstones that are recognized today were decided in 1912 by the National Jewelers Association. The idea of birthstones had been around for many centuries prior.Continue Reading
In Exodus, a breastplate worn by Aaron is described to have 12 different stones. Originally, these stones represented the tribe of Israel. Flavius Josephus was said to make the connection between the zodiac and the stones in the first century A.D. However, this connection meant that the wearer should wear each stone depending on the time of year. The current list was not created until 1912. This list assigns a certain stone for each month of the year.Learn more about Jewelry & Watches

When I was a kid, I was a big Bruce Lee fan. I walked around the playground rubbing my nose with my thumb. When I had a piece of rope, I had to do my version of the nunchaku routine from Way of the Dragon and made cat-like noises. Looking back at Lee, I find it quite striking how many of the principles of his fighting style Jeet Kun Do apply to agile practices.
Check out these descriptions of the fighting style:
- "Jeet Kune Do is not fixed or patterned, and is a philosophy with guiding thoughts."
- "Jeet Kune Do practitioners believe in minimal movements with maximum effects and extreme speed."
- "The system works by using different "tools" for different situations, where the situations are divided into ranges, which is kicking, punching, trapping, and grappling, where martial artists use techniques to flow smoothly between them. "
- "Through his studies Lee came to believe that styles had become too rigid and unrealistic. He called martial art competitions of the day "dry land swimming". He believed that combat was spontaneous, and that a martial artist cannot predict it, only react to it, and that a good martial artist should "be like water" and move fluidly without hesitation."
JKD is a reactive style that responds to changes in in situations and applies the best "tool" for getting the job done in the fastest way possible in that situation. JKD does not care about styles or forms for the sake of it.
Ofcourse this philosophy resonates highly with an agile mindset.
So just for fun, here are my Top 5 Bruce Lee Agile Coaching Tips

Boy's 911 Call Considered Prank, Mom Died.
This is just so sad: 6-year-old boy Robert Turner called 911 for help when he found his mother Sherel Turner lying unconscious on the kitchen floor.
Instead of sending help, the 911 operator chided Robert for prank calling and the mother, unfortunately, died.
Just a tragedy. Link

I have never seen an episode of Sex & the City and I don't like Carrie Bradshaw. From what pictures/gifs/quotes I have seen (mainly on other people's blogs and on Pinterest) I don't think she's a particularly good role model and if I knew a Carrie Bradshaw I would smack her upside the head for being so egotistical.
Like what does this even mean?!?! What are you even saying?!? Are you on crack?!?
I am probably not making any friends here either but I also don't really get the F.R.I.E.N.D.S phenomenon. I know some people love it but most of the time I don't even know what's going on. All they seem to do is drink coffee out but never drink coffee at home, and I never know who is having sex with who at any given time and I just don't get it!!
I fast forward sex scenes when I watch recorded TV by myself. They make me uncomfortable. However I have sat and watched a very graphic programme about porn with my Dad and wasn't fazed at all!
I watch a lot of gory murder programmes with no squeamishness at all however as soon as One Born Every Minute comes on I am out of there!! Stop saying the word cervix woman!!
Are there any TV programmes that you just don't get when everyone else seems to love them? Do you have any weird TV habits?
P.S It's my birthday tomorrow!! So tonight, while I am feeling pretty ill, I will be doing myself some of this!!

Add electronics retailer Best Buy to the list of places you can get a used iPhone cheap.
Best Buy is now selling refurbished Apple iPhone 3G models at a $50 discount to brand-new, unused models, according to the Reuters news agency. The lower prices of $149 for the 8GB iPhone (normally $199) and $249 for the 16GB iPhone (normally $299)--with a two-year service contract with AT&T contract--apply to devices that were returned to the store within 30 days of their initial purchase.
The move comes a little more than a week after megaretailer Wal-Mart Stores began selling iPhones at $197 for the 8GB model and $297 for the 16GB model.
Refurbished iPhones are also available from AT&T, the sole wireless carrier for the devices. Apple itself has also sold refurbished iPhones in the past, but a check of its Web site shows no such offers at the moment.
Best Buy representatives were not immediately available for comment.
Update 11:05 a.m. PT: Best Buy put out its press release a little later in the morning. In addition to the pricing stated above, the company said that current iPhone users can upgrade to a "refreshed" iPhone 3G. It also said the refurbished devices are available now at 350 Best Buy stores and by the end of January will be available at all U.S. Best Buy stores that offer AT&T.

South Bend Restoration Threads - Sticky
There are always new members who buy South Bend machines. Whether they're experienced machinists or beginners who want to learn, most will want to bring these beauties back to life with some degree of restoration work. And without fail, the same issues and questions come up. I know from my own experience, I was pretty overwhelmed at the process. So I decided to make a sticky that includes links to all the greatest restorations we've seen on this forum. A place where someone can look through all the pictorials and see what's involved and decide the best path to take. And hopefully they'll have a lot of their questions answered and learn a thing or two.
This thread will include restorations of (any) South Bend machine. Lathes, drill presses, shapers, grinders and mills.
* If you know of a thread that I've missed - PLEASE PM ME (don't respond to this thread) and I'll get it into the thread if it's appropriate.

WASHINGTON – Sometimes it can be hard to figure out when it is appropriate to compliment someone and how to do it.
A few weeks ago, President Barack Obama started off well when talking about California attorney general Kamala Harris. He called her brilliant, dedicated and tough. Then he added that she also happens to be the best looking attorney general in the country.
"It probably wasn't the smartest thing to say," says Monica Strobel, author of "The Compliment Quotient."
The president took a lot of criticism for those comments and later apologized.
Strobel doesn't think the comments were necessarily wrong, but is glad it opened the doors for conversation about workplace behavior.
"If you compliment someone and they take it wrong, apologize and don't say it again," Strobel says.
But what happens when you don't know what to say?
"When you're in doubt, you might want to withhold your compliment or to make it as general as you think might be needed," says Amy Maingault, quality and training manager for Society for Human Resource Management.
"For example, if you are talking about a dress, don't talk about how it clings to a person's body. Instead, talk about what a great pattern the fabric is."
Strobel and Maingault both advise to treat coworkers kindly and interact with them respectfully. Strobel says to be mindful of the tone of voice used in the workplace, as well as the context and the pattern of compliments given.
Maingault says it's all about professionalism.
"It's more appropriate to compliment someone on their accomplishments than to compliment their appearance," she says.

The CTU says people do not understand how disruptive and possibly dangerous the plan to close 54 under-performing CPS schools is. They filled up a bus with their supporters, as well as elected officials, who joined them in their call for a moratorium on school closings in Chicago.
"I'm not sure that just closing schools are going to necessarily result in a higher quality of education," said U.S. Rep. Danny Davis.
CPS parent Jymmett Penson could see no reason why Mahalia Jackson Elementary School needs to be closed.
"They feel safe with us, and we've known a lot of children since pre-school and kindergarten, so that's like breaking up a family," said Penson.
Penson's kids will trek about a mile to fort Dearborn Elementary, crossing gang boundaries for a promise of better facilities.
"There is no real positives numbers coming out of the charter school, so if there's a movement here to privates schools, we better uncover it soon," said 2nd Ward Alderman Bob Fioretti.
That sentiment pervades the tour bus as it passed by Guggenheim Elementary, a case study, the union says, of a school closing from last year gone wrong.
"At the ending kids became very upset. They broke down, they cried, they couldn't understand," said parent Sherri Dabney-Parker. "Most of the kids here started in kindergarten, and they went through eighth grade, so they were like family."
The climax of the tour: a mile walk through urban blight that students from closing Melody Elementary will endure to get to their receiving school, Delano Elementary, which will be renamed Melody.
"We are asking students, who are the most vulnerable people in our communities, to absorb a budget deficit, to absorb mass movement," said the Chicago Teachers Union's Stacy Davis Gates.
"There's never been nothing in this city, nothing but promises made and not kept, and this is the same old thing, and we're sick and tired of broken promises," said Rep. Rush.
But, nearby a non-profit says there's little vitriol on the footsteps where they're explaining block-by-block how the school consolidation will unfold.
"What they're most pleased about is that their school that their child is now leaving a failing school and going to a school that's either a Level 2 or a Level 1 ," said Stand for Children's Donna Hardy.
Late Thursday afternoon, CPS put out a statement, saying, the school-closing plan is about getting kids out of the trap of bad schools. They stressed, any kid who has to move is going to be going to a better school.

It is some LXXX hours before the Super Bowl, and it is as if Peyton Manning is hosting "Thursday Morning Live."
The media blitz has failed to get him off his spot and intercept him. He appears loose and relaxed and all indications are he is poised and primed to chase and make history.
"Thursday Morning Live" began quickly, when he was asked who he thinks are the three greatest quarterbacks.
"Me and my buddies don't discuss that," Manning said, drawing a laugh. "We have other things to talk about. I don't have a list.
"I think I could describe the perfect quarterback. Take a little piece of everybody. Take John Elway's arm, Dan Marino's release, maybe Troy Aikman's dropback, Brett Favre's scrambling ability, Joe Montana's two-minute poise and, naturally, my speed in there."
"I could take a piece of everyone, of some of my favorite quarterbacks, and I could take 30 traits from different guys, and put them in that perfect quarterback. That is how I like to look at it. I don't have the list. I know a lot of people have lists. 'Anytime,' as John Elway once said, 'you might be kind of in the conversation of someone talking about some of their favorite quarterbacks, that's a nice compliment in itself.' "
Papa Archie, who was making the rounds for Papa John's, was informed Peyton had talked of what he would take from other greats to build the perfect quarterback, and I asked him what he would take from his son.
"I'm really a fan and a friend of a lot of guys who play the position, and I don't know if it's really fair to do that," he said.
Then leave it to me. You start with Peyton's encyclopedic football brain, followed by his accuracy, leadership, field generalship, passion, and the most recent additions of perseverance, grit and courage.
And a sense of humor, dripping sometimes with sarcasm, sometimes in the form of a zinger, sometimes with aw-shucks self-deprecation, often delivered with a poker face.
This was his reaction to Richard Sherman's criticism of his arm strength, and his occasional propensity in the twilight of his 37th year on earth for "throwing ducks"
"I believe it to be true," Peyton said, drawing more laughs. "They say he is a smart player, and I don't think that's a real reach with what he is saying there. I do throw ducks. I've thrown a lot of yards and touchdown ducks, so I'm actually quite proud of it."
He was serious expressing the desire to win this game for marvelous 15-year cornerback Champ Bailey, and when someone asked if he thinks there are Denver players who want to win this Super Bowl for him, he said: "If that is the case, that is flattering. When you play in the Super Bowl, you are playing for a lot of people. There is a teammate you want to play for. There is a coach you want to play for. For me, I always feel like you are playing somewhat for your family, playing for your hometowns. I've seen a lot of people here."
It's "Thursday Morning Live!"
"Some of the questions I've gotten, I finally asked a guy, 'Are you from his hometown newspaper?' I've done some bio interviews on [offensive coordinator] Adam Gase and [tight end] Jacob Tamme that had to be from Kentucky and Michigan who I was talking to."
"You are representing your hometowns and your families when you play in this game — your college. We have four University of Tennessee guys in this game. I want guys to play for their families and play for those people. If somebody wants to win a game for you, boy, that is extremely flattering. I know I'd like to win it for the Broncos and Pat Bowlen. For him to be in his eighth Super Bowl is an accomplishment in itself. He deserves another championship. I would like to help the Broncos get another championship. But, you have other people you'd like to win it for as well."
Someone asked if he could name the other two quarterbacks who started Super Bowls for two different teams, and he replied: "I can name them. Do you want me to help you with the answer?"
"[Kurt] Warner and Craig Morton were the two. I saw Kurt this week. Craig Morton did it with Denver and Dallas. That to me is a special accomplishment in itself. I know how hard it's been for me to transition to a new organization. To try to get comfortable with the new culture you are playing in and surroundings, just to get comfortable, is hard enough. To actually turn it into some production and help your team get back to this game, it's hard to do. I'm proud what this team has accomplished this year. That's not a goal of mine to have that type of recognition. My goal is to help the Broncos win because of what it would mean for this organization and what it would mean to Champ Bailey and so many people that are trying to win this game. I want to be a part of that, and help this team win for many, many reasons."
Peyton can become the first to win two Super Bowls with two different teams. And Bill Parcells knows why he is knocking on the Super Bowl door following his four neck-fusion surgeries. Because he is the older Ali figuring out a way to win. He is the aging pitcher who lost the velocity on his fastball and gets batters out with guile.
"Peyton Manning doesn't throw the same stuff he did when he was 19," Parcells said, "but he's still gettin' 'em out, 'cause he knows how to do it.
"He didn't reinvent himself. He knows where he is. He knows what he's got — just like [Greg] Maddux, the pitcher for the Braves. They couldn't hit him, he's throwing 81 miles an hour, they couldn't hit him. Why not?
"He just knows how to pitch."
Enough to get the last laugh.

The Corn Fed Road to the Huff 50K
I have never been conventional…
After losing 100 pounds since last June, I knew that I needed to keep challenging myself lest I lose momentum and tumble back to my large-ess manliness. I have never, EVER, been a fan of running. It was painful, it was miserable, and I S-U-C-K-E-D at it. That was until I got tired of being out of shape. I couldn't run away from a zombie horde if the apocalypse ever happened (yes, I have a paranoid crazy delusion/love affair with zombies).
I was quickly on my way to the grave (a friend reminds me of this all the time). After running a two martial arts school with my father for several years, my father passed away. It was a huge blow to me. Not only did I lose my father, the economy tanked. With a poor economy, having to change locations, and all ambition gone, the weight just piled on. I stopped caring. I was on the road to diabetes, cpap machines, and heart disease. I had a wake up call last year when I turned wrong in a chair and felt like my back went out. I was literally hunched over like Quasimodo and in pain. The chiropractor told me that my trouble was exacerbated by the excess weight. He recommend a weight loss program. A month later, I started it and haven't looked back to those old ways.
So, last November on Thanksgiving, I started the C25K app on my iPhone. From there, I progressed to the 10K app. It all started because I remember a conversation I had with someone who was talking about military style obstacles races. Feeling a little intimidated that I couldn't run nor get my fat butt over, under or through the obstacles really ticked me off. I don't know if the person said it outright, or was it my subconscious kicking in, but I heard 'You couldn't do that Barnes.'
That is about all I needed to change gears. Challenge me. Tell me I am a loser, and I will do about anything to prove you wrong. I will explain my 'Marty McFly' syndrome on another post, lets just say it is deeply ingrained. That is where I am now. I started running to get myself in shape to run the Spartan Sprint on April 27th in Indiana. It will be my first obstacle race. I have ran a couple of 5K and 7k races ramping up to this event. I couldn't have done it without my friends the Corn Fed Spartans. They are a source of inspiration. One of which specifically (Kathy Bacon) who inspires me so much to never give up!
After reading 'Born to Run', followed by 'Eat and Run', I started reading just about EVERYTHING there is out there on Ultra Marathons. Where I am in my training schedule is getting myself up to the marathon distance. My long run weekends to date go about 8+ miles. People like Jonathan Nolan inspire me that I can continue to surpass my own limitations. So, I wanted to finish strong. What started out as just a goal to run a Spartan race on April 27th, has inspired me continue on my healthy journey. My goal is to learn my new limits and surpass them.
So, the Huff 50K is December 28th this year. I signed up because I know that it will be tough. It will challenge me. It will keep me focused on a long term goal so that I won't easily give in and quit on myself. So, 50K? Yep. I am going to do this. I am going to wear that belt buckle EVERYWHERE!
Don't think I can?
Tell me I can't and I will prove you wrong!

121st Division (ComStar)
Sarna News
|121st Division Level IV
|Unit Profile (as of 3052)
|Gray Backs
|Parent Formation
|2nd Army
|Unknown (mid 3030's)
Savaged by Clan Ghost Bear, the 121st Division was one of the many Com Guard units destroyed during the Battle of Tukayyid.[1][2][3]
Nominally attached to the Second Army, the 121st was transferred to bolster the units of First and Fourth Armies facing Clan Ghost Bear. Attempting to hinder the Ghost Bears advance on Luk, the 121st was decimated by the Bears Beta Galaxy, suffering such heavy losses that the Precentor Martial chose to retire the division instead of rebuilding it.[1][4][2][3]
- Another of those "barely there" units, the 121st was first mentioned by name and nickname as being destroyed in the identical text given in ComStar, Tukayyid and Invading Clans. The Army it belonged to comes from Field Manual: ComStar, but was not mentioned in 20-Year Update so it must have been transferred into the Second after the Clan Invasion began but prior to Tukayyid.[1][4][2][3]

A Permselective Layered Silicate Modified by Acid-treatment and Its Use for Blocking of Methanol Crossover in DMFC
H. Yoo, J.H. Kim, S-Y. Kwak
Seoul National University, KR
Keywords: layered silicate, layer-by-layer self-assembly, DMFC, Nafion, methanol crossover
Abstract:Layered silicates currently find uses in ion-exchange, adsorption, catalysis and fabrication of nanocomposites. Several layered silicates have channel systems or open frameworks within layers. They can be used to solve the problem for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). In order to block the methanol crossover through Nafion, selective multilayer formation on the surface of Nafion by layer-by-layer self-assembly with permselective layered silicate (AMH-3). AMH-3 has three-dimensional microporous layers containing eight-membered rings opening. AMH-3 can be used as selective permeable barrier for DMFCs because of its pore size has smaller than diameter of methanol, and bigger than that of water, its three-dimensional microporous structure, and its high aspect ratio. The thickness of AMH-3 was too thick to prepare appropriate multilayer. Thus, AMH-3 was modified by acid-treatment. Original AMH-3 was delaminated into individual layer. Self-assembled multilayers onto Nafion are prepared using Modified AMH-3 and poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride), PDAC through layer-by-layer method. The increasing number of multilayers resulted in decreased methanol permeability of modified-Nafion.

After a visit to the "planet of seemingly-harmless plants," Timmy begins to approach Trixie with a plant he got from his trip, only to be stopped when Chad and Tad get to her first. They insult Timmy to get a laugh out of Trixie, making her want to date them. Watching this display, Timmy realizes that girls seem to love guys with a sense of humor.
While sitting in his room, Timmy asks Wanda why she chose Cosmo since Cosmo wasn't very smart or particularly handsome. At that moment, Cosmo pours water on a cat, agitating it and making it attack him. Wanda starts laughing and states that that's why she chose Cosmo--because he was funny. Hearing this, Timmy realizes that the only way to get Trixie's attention was to make her laugh, so he wishes that he was the funniest man on Earth. Soon enough, he can make anyone bust a gut laughing just by talking to them. Finally able to make Trixie laugh, Timmy is able to hold her attention long enough to give her the seemingly-harmless plant and ask her out.
That night, Timmy goes to Trixie's mansion for their date, but because of Timmy's wish, Trixie cannot stop laughing at him and she thinks that every word that comes out of Timmy's mouth is a joke. Timmy leaves in frustration since no one would really listen to him anymore.
Later on, Timmy learns from Cosmo that the plant he gave Trixie would eat her heart out at midnight. Timmy tries to wish the plant away but Cosmo and Wanda won't take him seriously because he's "the funniest kid on earth". Realizing that the wish only holds true if he is on Earth, Timmy tricks them into going to Fairy World by offering to share his humor with the rest of Fairy World. Once there, nobody thinks Timmy is funny since he wished he was the funniest kid on Earth. He is able to wish himself back to his unfunny self.
Armed with many garden tools to kill the plant, Timmy goes back to Trixie's mansion. In her room, the plant has grown enormously in size and it sprays Trixie with a gas to render her unconscious. After Timmy's fierce brawl with the plant that nearly destroys Trixie's room, he is finally able to grab some hedge clippers and cut its stem in half. The plant quickly shrinks and shrivels up. Eventually, Trixie wakes up in Timmy's arms confused, and when she sees that he killed her plant, she dumps him and kicks him out the window. Even though Timmy lost his chance to be Trixie's boyfriend, he's just happy that she's safe. Cosmo tries to cheer Timmy up by taking them on a trip to the "planet with almost enough oxygen," making Timmy and Wanda suffocate while, strangely enough, Cosmo is able breathe.

….is part of life in graduate school. I haven't really had an issue living within my means, as I've always been fairly conscious of my money and where it was going. However, there are a few things that are important to consider in terms of budgeting for graduate school.
Many programs at IU offer a part-time teaching contract with your acceptance to their department. To my knowledge, the packages range in amount and contract years–I think the average is something like 4-5 years of funding.
There are many places on campus where students can research further options for funding, including student loans, scholarships, fellowships, and work-study.
For nearly everyone arriving at graduate school from a paying job, of course, you'll be taking a major pay cut. But that's pretty obvious from the start…
In short, if you are smart about managing your money while you're in graduate school, it's entirely feasible to get through your program while staying comfortable and happy. It just means thinking carefully about the expenses you know you'll have to shell out for, and the ones that you know are non-essential, even if you don't want to admit it.

Alexander Lutz commented 2016-10-22 05:19:02 -0500Dear Texas Libertarian Party,
Concerning the upcoming US presidential elections on 8th November 2016, at the Walter Eucken Institute we are working on a case study regarding the members of the Electoral College. However, we cannot find the names of the individual candidates for presidential electors that were nominated by your state's Party. This should be public information and it is available for most of the other states.
Would you please provide us with the names of the Electoral College candidates that you have nominated, and if possible their contact information as well (such as postal address or email)? If necessary, we can give you more information about our research.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Alexander Lutz
Research Assistant

Jack Decker commented 2016-10-18 23:45:31 -0500Dear LP of Texas,
The following is a short video that I produced that might help you get out the vote for the Libertarian Party. Feel free to email a link to it to your party members, post it to your Facebook page, and/or tweet it on out.
Sincerely yours,
Jack Decker
Gerald Johnson commented 2016-10-18 16:37:15 -0500Would you please quit taking out the $ 10.00 a month Bronze Level donation from my credit card? I can't support Gary Johnson for President.He is the worst candidate on the ballot.

Todd Burns commented 2016-10-16 11:06:57 -0500I would like to become more involved in the Libertarian Party. I am a small business owner and actually own two corporations that employee about 15 people in the State of Texas. I have always considered myself an independent, but vote Repubican the majority of the time. I read the Libertarian platform recently and realized I am actually a libertarian! I would like to get involved with the party. I actually graduated with a political science degree, so I am somewhat knowledgeable in politics, but certainly no expert. I live in Brown County and I do not see much in the way of a party presence here?

Malachi Kirkpatrick commented 2016-10-11 23:28:48 -0500Hello, so my questions has to do with what i need to do in order to become a card carrying member of the Libertarian party of Texas. I just registered online for info from the party. But, does that mean that i am now a member, or what else do i need to do in order to become a member? Also what is the best way to become involved? I am a college student and a youth for Gary Johnson Weld president at Stephen F. Austin State university. I think that while the presidential election is of great importance, it is the elections at the local, state, and national legislative level that will truly be the tipping point for the libertarian party. Please let me know what i can do as an activist to advance the libertarian cause. Thanks!

I'm not sure if he worked for Gary Johnson or you guys or for the local libertarian party group but I was hoping you may know where I could find these pictures? He took a picture of my friend and I that I was hoping to find. I had a "feel the johnson" shirt with a porcupine on it and blue shorts and he had a "come and take it" shirt as well as american flag shorts.

Ed Lagniappe commented 2016-09-26 16:20:59 -0500You want another issue (in Texas) to garner votes?
People are being forced out of their houses (in San Antonio) because of rising property taxes. At age 65, we can 'freeze' the "tax" part — but the school assessments keep skyrocketing. I'm a big proponent of education, but I have no kids, and ain't there a time when enough is enough — paying for someone else's brats? How about a state amendment to freeze all rising property assessments for those >65 yrs?
Put that into your local campaigns & betcha it'll get a big following!

Andrew Hood commented 2016-09-16 09:18:10 -0500As a fiscal conservative/social libertarian who has generally voted Republican, I've become frustrated and disillusioned with the two dominant parties and their presidential offerings this cycle in particular. Stop me if you've heard this before.
The bloated size and scope of the federal government and the corruption it breeds is the absolute gravest threat to the future of this nation. Neither the party I once ascribed to, nor their opposition are offering anything remotely approaching solutions to this. Its not a bug, its a feature and we're all big government liberals now.
I want another choice. Further, I want to get involved and make an impact somehow, someway. Like so many, I get caught up in my own life, my own responsibilities and distractions but time has come to do something.
Bud Bearce commented 2016-09-15 10:34:37 -0500With the best possible chance for a Libertarian Party success in some

10. 1¶4: What would be the price of a contract insurance policy?
One percent of the value being insured. For example—in order to buy a house—if I sign a contract with a bank to repay one hundred thousand dollars over a thirty year period, I would pay our government one thousand dollars per year to insure the deal. If I continue to make the agreed upon payments, I could enjoy my house without interference from anyone. Multiplying these common transactions by the number of Americans, our government could earn billions of dollars.
This is the revolutionary idea: "our government could EARN"—just like what every other law abiding citizen has been doing since governments were invented. Instead of politicians bribing one group to impose a tax on another and then using that money to buy votes for the next tax, politicians would be elevated to the honorable status of people who provide a valuable service, and work to satisfy their customers. This new job description probably would not appeal to those who enter government to gain power over people—a great byproduct of contract insurance.
If the one percent premium was too low to operate our government, our politicians could either increase their efficiency or raise the price. If the price was too high, either the voters could elect politicians who would lower it or people would be free to operate without contract insurance. With this innovation, we finally could bring government into the civilized world, where people offer value for value. www.LP4.org

Insert WordPress Page into Another Page or Post
This simple guide shows you the way to insert WordPress content into anywhere within a website. That makes it much easier to embed content, link, custom field or anything on a page to other pages and merge two posts into one without losing any information. To simplify matters, we select Insert Pages plugin as the method.
Install Insert Pages Plugin on Your Website
Insert Pages is a popular plugin designed for inserting one WordPress page into another by using shortcode API. That allows users to insert pages for multiple purposes. For example, create assignment due date and change the date by modifying a shortcode. Also, this plugin is commonly used to standardize video size so as to make all videos with the same length.
Start with plugin installation and get to know more features of Insert Pages plugin. Go to WordPress dashboard > Plugins > Add New and search for this plugin. Install and activate this plugin.
Since you have the Insert Pages plugin installed on your website, a new function called "Insert Page" is shown in the visual editor toolbar. Edit a post or page and check if there is such a function available.
Insert WordPress Page into Another One
Create a new post/page via Posts/Pages > Add New or edit an existing one. This post or page is where to place the inserting content. Once accessing to the visual editor, click the "Insert Page" button in the toolbar. And then, a box called "Insert page" pops up, which list all pages and posts included in your website.
If you cannot find out the target post, then type the post title in the search bar and seek the post out. Click the post title and then expand the Options list to customize the page slug or ID. That is according to your personal needs.
The Display field is where to determine what content will be inserted into the new page. That can be all content (including custom fields), content, link, title, excerpt, etc. Perhaps, you can use a custom template if the default one cannot meet your needs. Finally, click "Insert Page" button to have all settings done.
Having confirmed the settings, a line of shortcode is generated automatically as the following example. Preview the post on website frontend and check if there is something wrong with the content. If not, update or publish this post.
By the way, we would like to introduce a practical use of this plugin, namely, creating due date for the time-specific posts. Before everything, create a custom post type and name it as Due Date or something else. Create a due date under this post type and call it Task 1 Due Date or any other names as needed. Type a specific date as its content.
Since everything is ready, open each time-specific post in the visual editor and click "Insert Page" button. Select the Due Date post you have created just now and click "Insert Page". Insert the due date to each targeted post. In this case, a line of shortcode like [insert page='task-1-due-date' display='content'] is generated automatically.
If there is a need to change the due date, you just need to edit the due date post. In this way, the due date inserted into other posts will be modified in real time.

Images of cartoon children having sex constitute child pornography, an Australian court has ruled.
An Australian man has lost his appeal against a conviction for possessing child pornography after cartoon images of child characters from the Simpsons TV show engaged in sexual acts were found on his PC.
Alan John McEwan was convicted back in February but appealed on the grounds that the fictional cartoon figures in question did not represent humans and hence could not be considered images of people in legal terms.
Judge Adams disagreed, however, upholding the Magistrate's original ruling and the sentence imposed (a fine and a 2 year good behavior bond). Adams did, however, make a point of saying that the crime was 'of a different order' to that of possessing indecent images of real children.
Judge Adams said:
The difference [between pornography involving cartoon images and that involving images of real children] is not a mere matter of degree: in point of culpability the offence is of an altogether different order. There was no evidence that the material was or might be used by the appellant for any criminal purpose
The full judgment is available at Lawlink New South Wales found via The Register

Our Mission
MentorKids Kentucky exists to love children from single-parent and non-traditional households. We are able to do this by providing the child with an adult Christian mentor to come alongside and help them persevere through the trials of life, by building their character and offering them hope for the future.
Become A Mentor
A Mentor with MentorKids KY is a caring, responsible, Christian adult volunteer who serves as a trusted friend, support, and guide to a child in our community for a period of at least one year. The mentor will come alongside the child to help them persevere through the trials of life, by building their character and offering them hope for the future.
Our One-to-One Mentoring program matches adults with youth from the community who are 6 to 14 years old from single-parent and non-traditional households. According to the 2015 County Health Rankings for Daviess County, 34% of households are headed by a single parent. This percentage has increased 3% since the 2013 report of 31% of households.
What We Believe.
We believe in the power of consistent relationships grounded in the love of Jesus Christ. Just as Christ came to serve and seek the lost, we understand our calling and that of our mentors to be the same.
What We Do.
MentorKids Kentucky addresses many of the negative effects of children growing up in single-parent and non-traditional homes. According to a study done by Princeton University, children growing up in single-parent homes have an increased risk of experiencing cognitive, social, and emotional problems (2016 The Trustees of Princeton University).
Mentoring organizations, through the years, have demonstrated that matching an adult volunteer with an at-risk child, over a consistent basis of meeting three times a month for a year, is a proven method for decreasing the negative effects of being raised in a single-parent or non-traditional household.
Our Christ centered mentoring program:
- Promotes positive character development and social responsibility to the children we serve
- Connects with single-parent and non-traditional households to serve as an additional resource in times of need
- Partners with local schools and churches to better impact our community
- Changes lives by weaving the Gospel into mentoring
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." (James 1:27)

|This has nothing to do with my post, but I just love Corgis!
So, I think it's time to defy convention and fight the stigma (or "shed" it. Like the picture. Get it? Nevermind.) I've some up with a few ideas that may help:
- Use your cover letter wisely: Most Career Services offices will try to get you to write plain vanilla cover letters that emphasize your coursework, legal experience, etc. Yawn! Forget it; write what you want them to know about you. You're breaking your butt working, studying, and taking care of things at home--you're a multi-tasking machine! Let them know it!
- Bring your experience to the interview: Many law firm interviews are quick and to the point, so you may not have time to really stand out to the recruiter. Make sure you bring your work experience into the discussion. But, not the way you normally would at a "regular" job interview. Analogize your outside work experience to the legal market. Have you done marketing research? Hammer the point that you are analytical and research oriented. Have you managed a staff? Make sure they know that you're comfortable with people, and could see yourself presenting to clients with ease. Maybe you're a techie? Talk to them about predictive coding and e-discovery. They'll never see it coming!
- 'Splain yourself: I think part of the stigma surrounding evening students comes from the (incorrect) belief that evening students aren't as committed to the capital L "Law," and are only there for a quick career change. after all, if you really wanted to be a lawyer, you would have gone straight after college, like us committed day students! Of course this is poppycock, but it's another myth that probably has to be dispelled. Start your interview - even your cover letter - explaining your unique journey to law school. It will humanize your resume, and probably help a recruiter think about evening students a little differently.

This poem is itself a song. I hear the birds throughout. And I resonate with this:ReplyDelete
"How can we fit? Our actions dont belong.
How can we live, if we lose all the song?"
Everywhere in the world it is the same story. But this destruction is ultimately our own (mankind's) destruction. Sooner or later we will have to face the nature's wrath.ReplyDelete
Those lost sounds are a prophecy that most ignore!ReplyDelete
I like the style of this piece...more prosy.
So sad really. If only we could bring them back.ReplyDelete
mi amiga, this pierces my heart my soul. this was wonderfully penned and well said. i wrote about this silence when once i wrote about the battles fought during war. the towns and cities once full of verve from human voices and birds in the air but once the bombs did drop silence was the demoni consequence.ReplyDelete
gracias mi amiga
The one silver lining I see here is that the TED talk inspired this beautiful poem. Sadly words of grief cannot replace the birdsong. Thank you though, for releasing your words and letting us grieve with you Sherry.ReplyDelete
I so appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
Thank you so much. I will be over to see you soon!

It's morning in La-La Land, and the usual characters are roaming the star-studded sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard. Supergirl is here; so are Catwoman and Zorro, clad in black and trademark masks.
Suddenly, an entourage of massive men in long robes, split-toed sandals and greased topknots stride down the sidewalk and stop before Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The crowd of tourists stares uncertainly. Then they get it.
Sumo wrestlers! Real ones.
For the first time in 27 years, Grand Sumo -- the All-Star Game of this ancient sport -- has come to Los Angeles. And with it, 40 or so of Japan's biggest and brightest sumo celebrities. These aren't the amateur guys who wrestle in boxing shorts or the entertainers who show up at parties in inflatable fat suits.
Dressed according to rank, toned by intense training and bearing miens both dignified and playful, these men are the authentic heirs to Japan's 1,500-year-old iconic sport of sumo.

Army Pfc. Bradley Manning is escorted into a courthouse in Fort Meade, Md., Tuesday, May 21, 2013. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)
Today in Bradley Manning's court-martial, witnesses from his Army Intelligence unit at FOB Hammer in Iraq were called to the stand to ask questions about what kind of authorization the defendant had to comb through the military field reports found on the SIPRNet; what kind of websites the enemy was known to frequent; what kind of non-disclosure agreements members of the unit were aware of signing, even if there was no actual information security ("infosec") to speak of at the base. All of this speaks to whether Pfc. Manning knew that declassifying those thousands of documents would specifically help Al Qaeda and associates, which is what the prosecution needs to prove in order to make the "aiding the enemy" charge stick. I give them only a one-in-three chance of success with this bit of Orwellian overreach. (Full transcripts of the day's proceeding here.)
Three days into the trial, let's step back and ask: Would Manning be better off in a civilian court instead of the court-martial where he is being tried?
It's true that Americans forfeit certain rights upon military enlistment and that the court-martial system is built for speedy outcomes, with fewer procedural safeguards for defendants. So it is understandable that many who are sympathetic to Private Manning assume he'd be a lot better off in a civilian court. But are civilian courts really milder or more fair-minded in national security cases?
Let's ask Syed Fahad Hashmi, a Brooklyn College student who stored in his apartment socks and rainproof ponchos supposedly destined for an Al Qaeda training camp, set up by an FBI informant. Hashmi spent just shy of three years in pretrial solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Correction Center in Manhattan. Thank you, civilian justice system.
How about Tarek Mehanna, serving a seventeen-year sentence, handed down by a federal court in Boston, for posting Jihadist pep talks online. You don't have to sympathize with Mehanna's politico-religious worldview to be appalled by the penalty handed down by a civilian court in this case.
Or Javed Iqbal, convicted by a civilian court to six years in prison for including access to Hezbollah's TV station in the cable boxes he installed in Staten Island and Brooklyn.
