The Western Mountaineering Bristlecone MF -10 Degree Sleeping Bag is a spacious sleeping bag for winter exploration. Rated down to -10°F, if the wind is howling and snow blowing outside your tent, you might as well climb inside and revel in the warmth of 42oz of 850+ fill power down. It's baffles are packed so full you're getting an 8.5" loft, but incredibly it still only weighs 3lbs, 15oz. It features two zippers so you can zip it together and snuggle close with another or lie it out flat in weather that is warmer. Quality, made in the USA craftsmanship, sweet.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.
Would you like to compare the products you have selected now?

Nutrition Subcommittee reviews food incentive programs
Rep. Jackie Walorski (IN-2)
, Chairwoman of the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Nutrition, held a hearing to review incentive programs aimed at increasing low-income families' purchasing power of fruits and vegetables. Members heard from a variety of witnesses on how incentive programs are increasing the consumption of healthier foods, along with the challenges and opportunities for these programs moving forward.
While most healthy food incentive programs have stemmed from local communities, the federal government has made investments to further expand these projects. The Food, Nutrition and Conservation Act of 2008 authorized $20 million for a pilot project, known as the Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP) to determine if incentives provided to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients at the point-of-sale increase the purchase of fruits, vegetables or other nutritious foods at farmers markets. Building on that success, the 2014 Farm Bill authorized $100 million for the Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI) Grant Program, which supports projects across the nation to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables among low-income consumers participating in SNAP at farmers markets, grocery stores, and through food banks by providing incentives at the point-of-purchase. These programs showcase the value and effectiveness of public-private partnerships.
"Today, malnutrition is more than just the quantity, but also the quality of food people are eating. Many low-income individuals are struggling to gain access to high-quality fruits and vegetables, which can lead to an increase in obesity and poor nutrition. Food incentive programs, along with public-private partnerships like the ones we have heard about today are helping to address these issues. No individual program can end hunger, poverty, or obesity. It will take collaboration within communities and a 360 degree approach to better serve American's nutritional needs. Thank you to all of our witnesses for sharing with us the different strategies they are utilizing to encourage healthier food choices,"
said Subcommittee Chairwoman Walorski.
"At the committee, we have made a commitment to review not only SNAP, but all nutrition programs within our jurisdiction. These nutrition programs play key roles in addressing hunger and access to food, which is why it is essential we have these conversations to understand how these programs can best work together and complement each other. We have continued to hear about the importance of public-private partnerships in serving communities and helping them to meet their dietary needs. We will continue to evaluate ways to strengthen those partnerships so federal, state, and private sector programs are better equipped to serve Americans,"
said Agriculture Committee Chairman K. Michael Conaway.

Donnie Cookies
This is one of my Grandma's recipes and I decided to bake some up for Mason this week. I can remember her making them for all of us grandkids growing up and I'm sure she's smiling from heaven knowing another generation is enjoying them now.
Donnie Cookies are named after my Uncle Don. Why? Well, I guess you'd have to know him to understand why a mother would be inspired to name a cookie after him. Here's a hint: he's the type of guy who (along with my Uncle Paul and Aunt Brenda) drove all the way up here last week to see me before and after my surgery. We stick together. Kinda inspiring.
1 c sugar
1 c Crisco
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
3-4 c flour
1 c milk
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together sugar and Crisco. Whisk in egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking powder and 3 cups flour. Mix together with sugar mixture. Stir in milk. Add chocolate chips. Slowly add in only as much additional flour is needed to make a dough. Roll onto a floured surface and cut with cookie round. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 12-14 mins.

Sunderland vs Spurs - Lewis targets maximum points
06 December 2013|Tottenham Hotspur
The importance of Saturday's trip to Sunderland is not lost on Lewis Holtby.
Wednesday night's matchwinner at Fulham has stressed the importance of building up our points total as we strive to build up another winning streak throughout the busy December period.
Next on our agenda is a tough game at the Stadium of Light – but with Gus Poyet's men struggling at the foot of the table, midfielder Lewis knows we'll have to be at our best if we're going to take any points away from the North East.
"Back in Germany we would call it a six-point game and it's the same here," said the German international. "If we win that game we're close to the top four and that's what we're aiming for.
"It is going to be a really hard test to go there to Sunderland.
"They're starting to play. They lost 4-3 to Chelsea on Wednesday which was unfortunate for them but we need to go there with confidence.
"We have to show them our game and take the positives from Wednesday's win at Fulham."

Republicans Can't Hide Behind Grover Norquist Any More
Republicans who signed Grover Norquist's "No New Taxes" pledge — and that's most of them — thought they had a nice safe shield to hide behind. "I can't let the Bush tax cuts expire. Grover Norquist said so. My hands are tied. There's nothing I can do."
And now their protective shield has been yanked away. Grover Norquist has told the Washington Post that letting a temporary tax cut expire is not the same as a tax increase. He's not in favor of letting the Bush tax cuts expire, obviously. But letting them expire would NOT be a violation of his No New Taxes pledge. His Republican minions are off the hook.
The Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire in 2012. Allowing them to expire will save $4 trillion over the next decade. And now Republicans are no longer "required" to maintain these tax cuts.
A little awkward, no? If Republicans want to drain $4 trillion from the Treasury by making the tax cuts permanent, they'll have to grow a pair, stand up and face the music and explain their "reasoning." They won't be able to keep saying "Grover Norquist made me do it."
Sort of like a wannabe tough kid saying "I'd kick your ass, except my big brother is with me and he won't let me get in fights."
"Aw, that's OK little bro, go ahead, you can fight him."
Labels: Bush tax cuts, Grover Norquist, no new taxes, tax cuts expire

It's time for a serious car wreck attorney
Investigation by an Auto Injury Lawyer Is Essential
The auto injury lawyers of Todd E. Tkach, P.C. approach all auto injury cases in the same manner. A thorough investigation of the facts of the case is essential and is the first order of business. The investigation is conducted with the resolution of last resort in mind; a jury trial. Even if the case doesn't go to trial, it will settle, if at all, based on the facts that can be proved and demonstrated if the case were to go to trial. That investigation necessitates the involvement of an auto injury lawyer who is knowledgeable and experienced with the substantive and procedural laws and who can artfully present and demonstrate the facts and evidence at a trial by jury.
An Auto Injury Lawyer Must Prove Liability and Damages
The investigation conducted by our auto injury lawyers includes an examination of the two main elements of an auto injury case; "liability" and "damages". Liability is the first hurdle that must be overcome. What does "liability" mean? Essentially, it means; who's at fault for the collision? In some cases, the question of who was at fault is very clear. But in others it must be investigated and demonstrated. The issue of liability is usually where automobile insurance companies attack first. After all, if they can show that the collision was not the fault of their insured, they will pay you nothing and you would lose if the case went to trial. A skilled auto injury lawyer can make all the difference. In some cases, the question of liability may be revealed by an experienced auto injury lawyer with just a cursory investigation of the vehicles and the scene of the collision. In other cases, it may be necessary to hire expert auto injury reconstructionists. No matter what your auto injury case may require, rest assured, the auto injury lawyers of Todd E. Tkach, P.C. will take all measures necessary to establish the liability of the negligent driver.
Damages is the second main part of an auto injury case that an auto injury lawyer must establish and prove. Even when you clearly establish liability against a negligent driver, their insurance company will undoubtedly attack your sustained damages. They may argue that your injuries were pre-existing or that the collision could not possibly have caused your injuries. Many times, they'll argue that your injuries are simply worth little or no compensation. This is where a skilled auto injury lawyer can increase your compensation. On first thought, "damages" seem to be pretty clear. But, there are many types of damages recognized by Texas law that most people are probably not aware of. A qualified auto injury lawyer will determine all possible types of damage and will put together the evidence to prove them.
Vehicle Damages an Auto Injury Lawyer May Prove
It may sound strange, but the damage most likely to cause you the most frustration is the damage to your vehicle. As auto injury lawyers, we often hear about the frustration auto injury victims experience when trying to get their car repaired. After a collision, most people will be without their vehicle for days or even weeks. Whether the damage is repairable or the vehicle is "totaled," it will take some time to repair the vehicle or purchase another vehicle. We depend greatly on our vehicles, and not having it for transportation is extremely frustrating and irritating. Making matters worse, you have to deal with the negligent driver's insurance company, which is no hurry to pay you for anything. Let the auto injury lawyers of Todd E. Tkach, P.C. carry you through the whole process.
We'll help you get a rental car and will seek to have the negligent driver's insurance company pay for it. Many times, insurance companies will not even offer a rental car, even though they are required by law to pay for it. Our auto injury lawyers can also refer you to a qualified body shop for repairs. Most insurance companies will direct you to one of their "Blue Ribbon" repair facilities. Too often under those circumstances, we've heard the complaints that they didn't repair everything, or that the work was poorly done. You may also have a claim for diminution in value. That's the difference between what your vehicle was worth prior to the collision and what it's worth after repairs from the collision. This is a vehicle damage that even some experienced auto injury lawyers fail to even ask for or inquire about. It's a mistake that can cost thousands of dollars. To be sure, an insurance company will never bring up the vehicle damage of diminution in value and, of course, will make no offer for that damage. If your vehicle is "totaled," we'll fight for compensation for the full market value and won't settle for the discounted market value offered by the insurance company. You need the help of an experienced auto injury lawyer to maximize the recovery of your auto injury case.
Physical Injuries an Auto Injury Lawyer May Prove
The physical injuries suffered from an auto injury can be the most challenging from which to seek compensation. What is fair compensation for injuries? In years past, as a rule of thumb, some people used to use a multiplier of the amount of the medical bills as their measure of their damages. Those days are long gone! In this era of tort reform, there is no magic formula to determine the value of physical injuries. You need the knowledge and skill of a qualified auto injury lawyer to maximize the recovery for your physical injuries. Some of the elements of damages that may be recovered for physical injuries include claims for both past and future medical bills, physical impairment, mental anguish, physical pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of consortium, disfigurement, loss of body part, bystander claims and fear of future disease or disfigurement. Demonstrating these damages requires a painstaking development process, which the auto injury lawyers of Todd E. Tkach, P.C. have done hundreds of times. The process includes a thorough investigation, and complete and accurate record keeping, including medical records and bills, photographs, diaries, police reports, accident reconstruction analysis, investigative reports and testifying expert reports. The auto injury lawyers with Todd E. Tkach, P.C. have the education, knowledge, and experience to properly prepare an auto injury case and to present it to insurance adjusters or a jury.
After your case if fully prepared, we'll present it and demand a settlement from the negligent driver's insurance company. If possible, we'll try to reach a settlement through aggressive negotiations. In most cases, a settlement can be reached. However, if the negligent driver's insurance company refuses to settle, we'll take it to trial and present it to a jury. In that event, we will ask not only for all of the available elements of damage, but also pre-judgment interest, court costs and post-judgment interest until the full amount is paid.
Initial consultations are always free and there are no costs or lawyers' fee unless we get a monetary recovery for you.
Don't "go-it-alone." The long-term effects could be devastating.

The San Francisco Inbound Marketing Summit, this past April 28th and 29th was a great learning and refresher experience for me. It featured an intense format with the majority of speakers limited to twenty minutes for their presentation and questions. But, this format also allowed for a wide-ranging spectrum of speakers due to the fast paced, what Chris Brogan referred to as, "ADD-style" format.
This was the first meeting that I tried to dual-task taking notes in a Word document and tweet highlights/memorable quotes at the same time. I think that I achieved a respectable degree of success with both. Click to see either my #ims09 tweets, all of the #ims09 tweets or my conference notes. I'm sure that my notes (and maybe my tweets) are both a bit cryptic and unpolished, so here's a summary of eight key takeaways along with my best effort at attribution as to the speaker had what I thought was the most salient comment about each item:
- Everyone is a publisher on the internet – whether you are brand or an individual you are known first and foremost by the content that you produce and publish online. Jason Falls put it that content is king because consumers demand engagement, engaging content becomes conversation and websites then become living, breathing things. John Battelle urged that we should "dare" to let our brands create content and conversations, he said that "every marketer is now a publisher, every publisher is now a marketer and every consumer is now both". Most importantly, we should "work on stuff that matters" according to Tim O'Reilly.
- Content should not just reside on your "website", it should be posted on blogs, forums, review sites or wherever someone may wind up looking for information on a topic that your content covers. 30% on your domain and the rest in other places according to Brian Halligan from Hubspot.
- Speak to individuals through personas and segmentation. Don't expect your content to be all things to all people. David Meerman Scott emphasized personas in his example of hotel websites. He stated that all hotel websites seem to feature products, e.g. pools, restaurants and rooms while, in his opinion, hotel sites should focus on buyer personas and then create content that speaks to those separate personas. In agreement, Darren Guarnaccia said that we all want to be "self-segmented" and that this should be done organically on sites.
- It's objectives that must determine what you monitor online. The "Listening and Monitoring" panel really stressed that in order to monitor effectively, you absolutely must establish what the strategic goal is and then refine your listening tactics accordingly. And Susan Rice-Lincoln summarized this when she said that "Social Media has been long on tactics and short on strategy so far".
- Inbound Marketing offers nearly unlimited potential. Dharmesh Shah opined that "Outbound Marketing was limited by the width of your wallet. Inbound is only limited by the depth of your creativity."
- Web 2.0 is progressing to the Web Squared according to John Battelle. Meaning that the the next step in terms of computing and networking with not be additive but a multiple step forward.
- All campaigns must be fully integrated across platforms, on and off-line to be most effective. Chris Brogan also said to "remember the physical world" to be most effective in social media.
- Think beyond your brand. Tim O'Reilly stressed that it's not about your brand or your story, but rather it's about your community.
These were the things that resonated with me, but in the spirit of sharing and aggregating, here's a list of other Inbound Marketing Summit San Francisco blog posts:
- It's All About Relationships – Let Your Life Bloom
- Inbound Marketing Summit – Live Run Down – Hubspot
- Inbound Marketing Summit, a living bookshelf… – Catskill Cottage Seed
- Lessons from the SF Inbound Marketing Summit – Ion Digital
- 19 Things I Learned at the Inbound Marketing Summit – Demand
- Something Old, Something New – Master the New Net
- Memories from the Inbound Marketing Summit San Francisco – Find and Convert
- Build How-To Material Relationships – Chris Brogan
- Social Media Company Entrepreneur Official Garb – Web Ink Now
Please leave me a comment if I missed any posts and a big thanks to all of the speakers, panelists and in particular, the organizers
Check back later this week as I'll try to translate this for the resort industry; in particular, I'll be posting ideas on how to implement Inbound Marketing in our segment.

Effective Time Management = Effective Activism. #Truth
Everything that we do as anti-abortion activists has to be ordered towards one thing: saving babies.
However, if there is one thing I've learned as a former campus prezzy it's that if you don't manage time your time well you won't be able to affect your campus, you won't be able to save babies and you definitely won't be able to function as an activist human being…
You have a lot going on. You have papers to write, classes to attend, eating to do, Facebook to browse, SnapChat to peak at. You're busy, we get it. So act like it. Tell your time where its supposed to go. It is well within your control to do so.
You won't function well as a human being (you are still human…)
#TruthTalk, you guys. When I was a campus pro-life prezzy, I was pretty terrible at managing my time. Often, on the days that we did activism I was so busy that I wouldn't eat for most of the day. I would end up eating breakfast at like… 4 pm. Shockingly, not eating for a whole day is bad for you.
Our activism would often be planned somewhat last minute (I
mean sometimes you have to do that when.. certain kinds of meetings or events take place that #ShallNotBeNamed that you suddenly found out about and must gather the troops to be at…) . Sometimes, we would just decide the night before or the week before what we were doing.
Looking back, I see how this greatly limited the growth of our team and how this exemplified poor leadership on my part. I was not respectful of my team's time and as a result we had few members who were invested in our club , and it actually exponentially increased my workload causing me to be more stressed more often.
This led me to burn out for a period of time in my 3rd year. I needed to take off a whole semester from regular campus activism because, to be brutally honest, I was too disorganized to even manage my time!
I thought I didn't need to manage my time in order to have effective activism. I thought that the activism was effective enough and if someone was bought in enough they would show up no matter what.
The reality is that a very small percentage of people operate like that. If you do as a campus leader, it's because you are bought in – and I get it. . For most people, activism is something they have to learn how to do. And in order to learn how to do it, they need to be given strong, organized and respectful opportunities to do it.
If you burn out, you won't be able to do activism very well for very long. It's that simple.
If you choose the 'convenience' of being able to do activism whenever you would like at the expense of a strong team, you are creating barriers between your campus and hearing the pro-life message effectively, and regularly… And that is on you. You won't be able to affect your campus as well as you would like…
If you don't choose to manage your time, your activism will be sporadic. Sporadic activism usually means disorganized activism, miscommunication, and more stress. And let's be honest, doing activism at the last minute on a regular basis usually results in just doing activism less often.
You won't save as many lives…
Why? Because you just won't be around as much.
Let's break it down:
if you aren't there sharing the pro-life perspective, your peers will not be challenged.
if you aren't there, making yourself available, your peers will not be challenged.
if you aren't there, with a sharp mind and open heart, your peers will not be challenged.
And they will be more likely to choose abortion. #TruthBomb
Recently, at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby), the pro-life students were doing the QA (Question Abortion) Project. They talked to a student for a while about abortion. Before he left he said, " Thanks for being here. I'm on my way actually talk to my friend and her boyfriend about their new pregnancy. Now I know what I'm going to say."
Wow. powerful.
Here are some tools to help you become a better, more timely and more effective activist and human being:

Ultimately even using these tools requires you to make the commitment to manage your time better for your sake, the team's sake and of course, on behalf of the babies.

Your support team can meet you each morning before you hit the road to share their extensive route knowledge and provide you with hints and tips to help you get the most out of the route.
Independent: Our Independent trips offer ultimate flexibility. They are very similar to our Self Guided trips but are aimed more at experienced cyclists who are confident enough to be able to fix basic technical bike problems on the hoof. Although you won't have the support of our back-up team, we will always be available on the end of the phone for advice and we will provide you with a list of bike shops and taxi companies along your cycle route in case you encounter any mechanical issues that you can't deal with yourself. We'll still arrange a fantastic trip including transport from one end of the route to the other, quality, tried and tested accommodation and we'll transfer your bags each day leaving you free to enjoy the cycling and scenery.

Shortstop in '54 Series
George "Bo" Strickland, 84, a shortstop who played 10 years in the major leagues and started for the Cleveland Indians in the 1954 World Series, died Sunday in his hometown of New Orleans, according to the Greenwood Funeral Home.
Strickland played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1950 to '52 and the Indians from '52 to '57, and again from '59 to '60. In 1954, the Indians won 111 games during the regular season but were swept by the New York Giants, led by Willie Mays, in the World Series.
Regarded as a defensive specialist, Strickland led big-league shortstops with a .976 fielding percentage in 1955. He shared the major league mark for shortstops involved in double plays in a game (five) in 1952 and led American League shortstops in double plays in 1953 and in fielding in 1955.
He finished his career with a fielding average of .965 and participated in 558 double plays. Overall he had a .224 batting average, 36 home runs and 284 runs batted in.
After his playing days, Strickland twice served as Cleveland's interim manager, in 1964 and 1966, compiling a 33-39 record.
Born in New Orleans on Jan. 10, 1926, Strickland served in the Navy during World War II.
Henri Salmide
WWII soldier saved port
Henri Salmide, 92, a former German officer who helped save the French port of Bordeaux from destruction by Nazi forces in World War II, died Tuesday, city officials said.
The Germans had a plan to blow up the Bordeaux port before they retreated toward the end of the war.
About 4,000 fuses needed for the plan were stored in the city's munitions depot. Salmide, who was born Heinz Stahlschmidt and was then a junior officer in the German navy, defied his superiors and blew up the depot, rendering the fuses useless and saving the port, said Alain Moga, the deputy mayor of Bordeaux.
Hunted by the Gestapo and the French police, Salmide hid with Moga's grandmother, becoming a family friend, the deputy mayor said.
After the war, he remained in France and was naturalized Henri Salmide. He married a French woman and stayed in Bordeaux for the rest of his life. He was decorated with the French Legion of Honor in 2000.
Edith M. Roberts, a Pasadena activist who served as a board member and president of the Pasadena Symphony Assn. and was a longtime supporter of Caltech, where her husband John D. "Jack" Roberts is an emeritus professor of chemistry, died Sunday at her home in Pasadena after suffering a stroke, the university announced. She was 91.
Robert McElwaine, a former Hollywood publicist at MGM who worked as entertainer Danny Kaye's personal manager in the 1950s and went on to become an automobile industry lobbyist, died Jan. 31 in Washington, D.C., his family announced. He was 86.

Whitney and I went to the show of these two sisters: Truus and Riet Spijkers. This fun designer duo create playful garments. I was running quite late due to traffic jam
boehoe hate that shit. But it made us end up at the second row, in stead of the sixth. So a little hurray for traffic congestions!
My favorite piece of this collection? The grey suit, which you can see on the third picture. Love the way a suit that masculine, can make a woman look so feminine.
This will be the first and the last show I will be attending this summers fashion week. In 9 hours I will be flying to Helsinki, and in 12 more I'm off to India.
- A little blogsilence for the next couple of weeks, due to the lack of internet. But I promise I'll make it all up to you with tons of holiday pictures. Namasté -

SAN ANTONIO — The Securities and Exchange Commission has postponed the municipal securities field hearing it planned to hold in Chicago on Nov. 16.
SEC spokesman John Nester said Wednesday that the field hearing, the second of six the commission plans to hold throughout the country, is being delayed because of scheduling conflicts, though he did not elaborate.
However, some market participants said they were told by SEC officials earlier this week that the hearing was delayed for budgetary reasons, presumably because the federal government is operating at restricted budget levels under a continuing resolution.
The field hearings, being led by SEC commissioner Elisse Walter, are expected to result in recommendations for regulatory and legislative changes as well as industry "best practices" documents, likely by the middle of 2011.
The SEC's first muni hearing was held in San Francisco last month, where agency officials and market participants discussed a variety of topics, including the timeliness of continuing disclosures, pension funding issues, and the experience of retail investors in the market.
The SEC's next hearing is now expected to occur at its Washington headquarters in December. The commission has yet to announce the topics and individuals expected to testify. Additional hearings are planned for Birmingham, Tallahassee, and Austin next year. It is unclear when the Chicago hearing will be rescheduled.
In planning its field hearing, the SEC has struggled to find adequate venues in each of the cities because it does not want to rent space from publicly traded companies or municipal borrowers, ruling out space from many hotels or nonprofit borrowers in the muni market such as universities.
The Chicago hearing was tentatively scheduled to be held at the SEC's regional offices.
Some market participants are skeptical about the purpose of the hearings, claiming they appear to be designed mostly to bolster the SEC's existing concerns about the market.
One market participant, who asked not to be identified, said recent comments by Walter seem to reflect the fact that SEC officials already have their minds made up about what needs to be changed in the municipal market.
He cited a Wall Street Journal story this week on conduit borrowers in which Walter said for-profit companies should not be able to evade corporate-style disclosure requirements by selling debt through tax-exempt issuers.

She toiled in the fields, picking cotton with her parents, in the Arizona heat.
She believed it when she was told that here, in this country, you could rise above your circumstances and disadvantages if you worked hard enough, if you persisted.
Her name is Marie Lopez Rogers, and she is the mayor of Avondale, Ariz., and, now, the new president of the National League of Cities.
"I am deeply honored to be chosen to help lead NLC for the coming year," the Mexican-American said in a written statement. "There has never been a more important time for our nation's cities and towns. Our communities are constantly evolving and we as leaders must be increasingly more innovative, flexible and resourceful."
Lopez was named the new president after a vote at the NLC's annual gathering in Boston.
The National League of Cities' announcement about her selection says: "Marie Lopez Rogers spent much of her childhood growing up in labor camps and picking cotton alongside her migrant farm worker parents in the Arizona desert. As a social worker, she discovered her passion for public service."
In the yearlong post of president, Lopez's duties will include shaping the organization's agenda and overseeing advocacy and other NLC activities, according to the group's press release.
Lopez, described on Avondale's public website as a wife, mother of three sons and grandmother of six children, found herself in the spotlight last year when President Obama brought her up as example of the American Dream while addressing the National Council of La Raza's annual conference in Washington D.C.
The mayor had met the president when she attended an invitation-only Cinco de Mayo ceremony at the White House last year. She shared her story with the president, never dreaming he would remember it and hold her up as an example.
"When I had a chance to talk to him, I told him about my story," she told reporters last year, "and I told him that's the American dream and how lucky I am and how my parents instilled that [American Dream] in us."
Standing before the NCLR conference attendees, the president repeated what the Avondale mayor had told him about her humble beginnings, and how she had learned to dream big.
"It was in those cotton fields that Marie's father would tell her, 'If you don't want to be working in this heat, you better stay in school.' So that's what Marie did," the president said.
"And because of that, because of the tireless, back-breaking work of her parents, because of their willingness to struggle and sacrifice so that one day their children wouldn't have to, Marie became the first in her family to go to college," Obama said. "And, interestingly, she now works at the very site where she used to pick cotton, except now City Hall sits there and Marie is the town's mayor."
The 2010 Census showed that Avondale, with more than 76,000 residents, was about half Latino, a change from the 2000 Census, which showed that non-Hispanic whites were the majority.
About 9 percent of the city is African-American, and 3.5 percent is Asian-American.
Avondale is in Maricopa County, whose sheriff, Joe Arpaio, is controversial among Latinos and immigration advocates nationwide for his department's aggressive approach toward immigrants.
A federal investigation into complaints of discrimination by the sheriff and his officers found that they targeted Hispanic neighborhoods for immigration raids and that Latino drivers in greater Phoenix were stopped nine times more frequently than other motorists. Arpaio denied any discrimination and said that he was the victim of a witch-hunt by the Obama administration.
Meanwhile, Lopez Rogers also was recently elected to lead the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), the regional planning agency for the Maricopa region.
According to its website, the association "provides a regional forum for discussion, analysis, and resolution of regional issues, including transportation, air quality and human services."
"One important priority will be for us to identify the corridor's key economic drivers and find ways to grow those opportunities," said Lopez after she was named its new head. "One key area of focus for us will be working to improve our trade relations with Mexico and Canada and enhance the flow of commerce into Arizona."

The State of Gotham: A Conversation With Jim Gordon
By Valerie Vale | Reporter
September 19, 2016
The article below may contain spoilers from Gotham Season 3, Episode 1.
Jim Gordon just might be the most controversial figure in Gotham City. The former GCPD detective has had more than his fair share of scandals, but he's also had his moments of glory. In a recent poll by the Gotham Chronicle, over 60 percent of citizens said they have a favorable opinion of the unpredictable crimefighter, with over half of those respondents calling out Gordon's "commitment to justice" as a reason for their approval.
On a recent afternoon, Gordon and I met at a diner just across the bridge from the Narrows, one of Gotham's most crime-ridden neighborhoods. Over coffee and strawberry pie we talked about nightclub owner Fish Mooney, the rumors surrounding Indian Hill, and the dangerous monsters roaming the streets of Gotham.
Valerie Vale: I feel like it's important to start this conversation by saying you are no longer employed by the Gotham City Police Department. You're essentially a bounty hunter.
Jim Gordon: Bounty hunter. Detective. Vigilante. Call me whatever you need to call me. My main concern is making a buck while keeping the streets of Gotham safe. I'll leave the labels to people like you.
V. V.: Fair enough. In your opinion, what are some of the biggest challenges facing Gotham today?
J.G.: The biggest challenge in Gotham right now is the people's lack of trust in the system. And I get it. They have a right to be distrustful. The last couple of years have been tough ones for this city.
V.V.: These last couple of years have been tough for you as well. You've had run-ins with the law, you were caught up in the recent mayoral scandal, and your former fiancée spent time in Arkham. How are things for you right now?
J.G.: Listen, I'm not here to talk about my personal life. I'm here to talk about what the people and institutions of Gotham can do to make this city great again. As we speak, the streets are overrun with mentally ill patients from Arkham Asylum. Just the other night I had a run in with a deranged drug addict who seriously injured a pharmacist while trying to get his fix. I was more than prepared to take him on, but imagine if it had been your mother or little brother walking by that pharmacy while he was committing his crime. What would've happened then? They could've been seriously injured — or worse.
V.V.: I don't doubt that. There are rumors that many of these escapees were subjected to various tests at Indian Hill, a secret facility within Arkham. Some people say these tests caused mutations in the inmates that have made them more dangerous than ever. Some people are even calling them monsters. What's your take on this?
J.G.: These monsters are just another example of how completely out of control Gotham has become. And obviously, Dr. Hugo Strange needs to be held responsible for all of this. He betrayed the trust of this city when he performed his experiments on these people.
V.V.: What do you have to say about the rumors that Wayne Enterprises is secretly financing Indian Hill?
J.G.: Miss Vale, I have no interest in rumors or innuendo. Any suggestions that Wayne Enterprises has secretly been funding a secret facility within Arkham are totally unfounded and, quite frankly, irresponsible. Aren't you supposed to be a journalist, not a gossip columnist?
V.V.: Journalists ask the tough questions, Detective Gordon. That's all I'm doing.
J.G.: It's Mr. Gordon. I'm not a detective anymore, remember, Miss Vale? I'm a bounty hunter.
V.V.: Excuse me. Mr. Gordon. Moving on. There are rumors that Fish Mooney is back in Gotham. She hasn't been seen in months, so the fact that she's been spotted is big news for certain people in the city. How does she fit into the recent events that have taken place?
J.G.: Fish Mooney and I aren't exactly texting buddies, if you catch my drift. I have no idea if she's around or what she's up to. But if she is still in Gotham, and if she's involved in any sort of illegal activity, she'll be held responsible. I'll make damn sure of that.
V.V.: Word on the street is that there's a $1 million dollar bounty on Fish Mooney's head. As a bounty hunter, what do you think of that?
J.G.: $1 million is a nice chunk of change. If that's the actual number, Mooney had better watch her back.
V.V.: I know you're a busy man, so I'll wrap this up. Just one more question: What do you think of Oswald "The Penguin" Cobblepot?
J.G.: No comment.

Youthful insured not triggering cost spike
While the US is still months away from clocking a full year of insurance coverage under healthcare reform, the impact that coverage is having on the health expenditures of young people is already beginning to surface.
In short: the clause in the Affordable Care Act that allowed children to be covered by a parent's insurance plan until they turned 26 has not been linked to a statistically significant increase in use of health-related services, but has been associated with a decrease in out-of-pocket healthcare costs among 19-to-25-year-olds and improved self-reported health status, according to a research letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Tuesday.
Although the extended coverage became mandatory last year, employers started extending coverage much earlier, and researchers tracked data from the "post-implementation" year of 2011 through 2012.
Researchers acknowledge that the study is a very brief snapshot, since the sample covers just one year of data, but they found that the ACA's dependent coverage extension indicates greater protection against medical costs compared to adults not affected by the law.
While a 2010 report by the Society for Human Resource Management indicated employers were not thrilled by the requirement they would have to extend coverage by 2014, a 2013 assessment by Health Affairs indicated that employers began extending coverage to the under-26 crowd before they had to. HA also noted that this was one provision of the Affordable Care Act that around 70% of the public had down pat, just six months after healthcare reform passed.

Keno is a kind of lottery, a game of chance where you pick 10 numbers and hope that these will match the ones generated by the random number generator. However, because more numbers are generated by the random generator in Keno than in a standard lottery, you have the chance of getting the smaller wins quite frequently. This is why Keno has become such a popular game among all ages across the globe. In most countries, Keno is run by national or private lottery organizations that have made this fun game available outside licensed casinos. Keno has ancient roots which date back thousands of years to China. And today this ancient game can be played online in various exciting themes and formats with added features such as this one by Betsoft.

According to a spokesman for Mayor Washington, black candidates who want his support will have to pass a ``litmus test``: they must repudiate Ald. Edward Vrdolyak and spurn any backing from him as chairman of the Cook County Democratic Central Committee.
Politically, this makes no sense. For blacks seeking statewide office, Mr. Washington`s loyalty test is a crippling handicap; it forces them to renounce one of two key sources of support. Cook County committeemen control two-thirds of the vote in the state central Democratic committee, and without its backing a candidate hasn`t much of a shot at nomination.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chile's president-elect Michelle Bachelet will embark on a second term riding a wave of popular support that includes widespread backing for her key policy proposals, according to a poll released on Thursday.
Center-left Bachelet will take office on March 11 with a mandate to hike corporate taxes to pay for an education reform, and will push to overhaul the constitution, which dates to General Augusto Pinochet's 1973-1990 dictatorship.
Almost 80 percent of those surveyed said they agreed with education reform, pollster and research center Cerc said, while 63 percent approved tax reform and 71 percent a new constitution.
The proposals enjoyed support across the political spectrum, including those identified with the conservative Alianza coalition of outgoing President Sebastian Pinera.
Nearly three-quarters of Alianza supporters backed Bachelet's education reform proposals, and around half endorsed her proposed tax and constitutional changes, the poll found.
Bachelet's bloc clinched a narrow majority in both houses of Congress, which is enough to pass tax reforms.
But for the four-sevenths majority required for education reform, Bachelet will need to enlist independent or opposition legislators in the Senate and House of Representatives - from some of whom she has already received hints of backing. Constitutional change needs two-thirds backing.
Bachelet, who already served as the nation's president from 2006 to 2010, won 62 percent of the vote against Alianza coalition candidate Evelyn Matthei in a December 15 presidential runoff.
Chile's constitution bars presidential re-election to consecutive terms.
In the poll, 41 percent foresaw Bachelet's new presidential administration as being better than her first and 33 percent saw it as being equal.
Compared with Pinera's outgoing administration, 37 percent thought Bachelet's government would represent an improvement while around one-third thought it would be about the same.
Pinera will leave office with a 36 percent approval rating, the lowest of any outgoing president since the return to democracy nearly 25 years ago, according to Cerc.
His government's approval ratings were hurt by long months of massive student protests seeking free and improved education, among other things.
The poll included 1,200 people and was conducted between December 19 and January 10. The margin of error was 3 percent.

This cake is a great alternative for gluten free options, it's not very sugary either, but its super rich! I must have over-baked mine because it was crumbly. I think it needs something on the side to cut the richness personally, maybe yogurt?
Esther Espinoza
We made this yesterday and it was HEAVENLY!! We didn't have the sugar mentioned in the recipe so we used coconut sugar & it still tasted delicious! Thank you for a great recipe
Nadia Miodragovic
This has become my signature dish. It is the most requested dish for me to bring to events by my friends and family. For my friends and family I do 1/2 cup of cocoa and 1/2 cup organic cacao.
Virginia Loeza Castro
Baked it, loved it. Even my picky eaters at home enjoy it a lot! I used what I had at home so I substituted rapadura for coconut palm sugar, and rice syrup for maple syrup, and it turned out great. I'm craving it right now I will have to bake it again! Thank you for sharing.
