|Is one of the things an explanation of this weird photograph? No. Suffice it to say: we found that special item in the woods while we were camping, and our friend Jonathan defined the shape a bit with his knife, and it is called the Eegah hand. You have to stick it in your sleeve and stagger around with your arm hanging way long down by the ground, the Eegah hand almost dragging. Also, you have to say, "Eegah," in a groaning way. Did you never see this movie? It is really good.

Mexican-style Brown Rice

Yay yay yay! Thank you so much for taking the time to move recipes. And happy birthday!ReplyDelete
- Cynthia Gingerich1:28 PM
Happy Birthday from someone who has been reading your blog from the beginning, I guess that's more than 12 years now. I cannot thank you enough for your humor and perspective and profound insights over the years.ReplyDelete
And THANK YOU so much for the recipe index, but you need to move purslane quesadillas down under Lame Dinners. Between pizza toast and air.
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a lovely, sweet, healthy year. But I also hope that some funny and random things happen to you (that are of course not painful or terrible) so that you can share them with us in your naturally hilarious way.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday, Catherine! I hope you get to enjoy some pear jelly beans today. Yum!ReplyDelete
First happy (belated) birthday, and second, it's like you gave us gifts with the recipe index AND the games master list. Thanks! Also, I've been looking for a fairly easy Mexican brown rice recipe that tastes authentic and not cardboardy and too salty like the boxed ones, and this looks perfect. I like the Cook's Illustrated one, but it's a bit more complicated, and I have no time for that.ReplyDelete

Happy Birthday, Catherine! I love this rice, and so glad you are putting all your recipes over here, safe. Please don't forget Michael's brownie recipe, which seems to be un-findable now elsewhere -- that one's a gem (good when substituting chocolate chunks for the cherries too). xoxoReplyDelete
The post is absolutely fantastic! Lots of great information and inspiration both of which we all need! Also like to admire the time and effort you put into your blog and detailed information you offer! I will bookmark your blog!ReplyDelete

I made this last night and I finally have a replacement for those flavored rice mixes from the grocery store (e.g., Knorrs). I've tried several times to find a homemade (and healthier) version than the store-bought mixes that satisifed on the flavor-front, but I failed each time until now!ReplyDelete
Thank you!
What a great recipe. I can't wait to try this. Looks delicious.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday dear friend, I like this rice, Mexican recipe and I will try making this recipe today.ReplyDelete

A$AP Rocky performs live in MTV Studios.
Photo: MTV
It's no secret that the MTV Style staff has a giant, throbbing collective fashion crush on A$AP Rocky. Naturally, it was lights out around here when Harlem's finest graced our MTV studios for this week's productivity-halting Big and Best in 2012 live event. Pretty Flacko hit up RapFix Live for a special interview with our very own Sway Calloway to discuss his forthcoming debut studio album, Long. Live. A$AP (out in 2013), AND to premiere a track from said album. We were sure there would be a lot of music talk during the A$AP visit, what with promoting the new project and all, but we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of (relatively unprovoked) fashion chatter and even some heartfelt advice that peppered Rocky and Calloway's chinwag! Then again, we should have probably expected as much from a dude who video chats with Alexander Wang.
The segment kicks off with Sway talking up A$AP's style, "I even changed my boot game because I knew he was coming today." He introduces Rocky and the overarching point of the interview — his new album coming out in January — and in walks A$AP wearing all black except a BIG, chunky, cable knit oatmeal scarf that's draped, not wrapped, around his neck. His back turns to the camera for a brief moment, revealing the label of his backwards snapback: Stussy. Sway goads A$AP for fashion affirmation, "Okay, let me see. Let's put the shoe game up next to each other real quick. How am I doing, man?" Sway is wearing charcoal suede boots with a floppy tongue, and A$AP is wearing high top sneakers in a light gray and white colorway. "It's sharp," Rocky says, "Are those Red Wings?" Calloway isn't sure, and while they both laugh, he takes a little stab in the dark, "They could be Red Wings! If they're Red Wings, do I get extra points?" A$AP, ever the gentleman, responds, "You got points. A$AP Sway in the building!" Our hearts explode all over our computer monitors. This mutual fanning out is the cutest of all cutes. If that's demasculinizing, I'm sorry, but I'm nerding out because AHHHHHH, this is THE. BEST.
They sit down to talk about the 2012 VMAs and that Rihanna butt-squeeze. The conversation quickly turns back from music to fashion as A$AP applauds Miss Fenty's taste while explaining why it makes sense for them to be touring together in March, "Honestly, like, half of the chicks that consider themselves, like, you know, to be, fashionably forward and stuff — they look up to Rihanna. She has a lot of style and stuff, and I think that's what she saw in me." He goes on to explain how Rih may have been drawn to him because they're similarly eclectic and how they have a mutual artistic respect for each other, but ever the charmer, he follows up with, "And, you know, the fact that I'm handsome helped, you know what I'm saying?" sending Sway and the studio audience up in chuckles.
Sway dives into that eclectic nugget, speaking to today's music climate and how this generation is the simultaneous beneficiary of both years of built up hard work and a distinct lack of limitations. He uses that as a jumping point to talk about the Skrillex and Florence + the Machine appearances on the new album, and A$AP goes in on his desire to express himself freely in both music and style regardless of stereotypes. Sway opens up questions to the studio audience, and there's an adorable moment where A$AP hands over his own mic and plays live correspondent with a little "Thanks, John" after the dude asks his question. Our pupils explode with cartoon hearts. Then, Sway brings out another A$AP fan: Vinny Guadagnino. HOW DOES THIS KEEP GETTING BETTER???
The two engage in a hilarious exchange wherein Vinny invites A$AP over to his parents' house for dinner and we learn that Rocky is a vegetarian. It's after Vinny leaves, though, that we get the juiciest fashion Easter egg of the entire visit. A$AP illustrates what the intersection of music and fashion means to him, essentially lobbing up our MTV Style bread and butter, and they're so intrinsically linked for him that he does so without being explicitly asked. "[Music is] supposed to inspire people to move forward or just to make their day better or to change their lifestyle and stuff like that," he explains, "That's what music is for. So when I see dudes wearing high-end designers that they [weren't] wearing a year ago and rips in their jeans and gold teeth and these nappy braids and stuff? I just look at it like we're doing something right." He expresses appreciation for the growing acceptance of high-end fashion but acknowledges there are still hang ups. "I was just on 106 & Park the other day with an over-sized shirt on, and everybody was talking about [how] I wore a dress," he lamented to Sway, "That's foul."
From there, A$AP Rocky launches into a full-on pep talk, encouraging everyone to just be themselves, "Wear what you want. Nothing matters. Nobody else's opinions matter. Be the person that starts the trend, you know what I mean?" It's the kind of stuff that, with limitless funds, we'd format into vinyl wall decals and post up all over our apartments. "If you're different, be you, you know what I mean? If you're normal, be you! Whatever. Just be you," he continues, "That's all I'm saying. And you're going to have times when people are going to try to joke on you. They're gonna try to play you and all that, and that just comes with life, you know what I'm saying? You gotta keep it striving, and always know that if they're talking, you're doing something right." *wipes away single happy tear* YEA, you tell 'em, A$AP!
Then, Sway drops a reference to Harlem World, Ma$e comes out from backstage, I'm momentarily convinced that I'm watching an episode of Oprah's Favorite Things, and A$AP is so caught between being excited and having to make his live performance call time that he nearly leaves his scarf behind on the RapFix couch. <3 See it all for yourself here, here, and here!

Organizing a Trial Book
Lawsuits, especially those that result in a court trial, produce voluminous amounts of paper—documents, notes, discovery information, and so on.
The worst thing a party can do is to become disorganized, which costs time and emotional well being, and runs the risk of losing some piece of information that could turn out to be crucial to one's case.
Organization can be accomplished by use of a "trial book,†generally a notebook, such as a three-ring binder, in which all papers relating to the case are organized in some coherent, easy-to-find and easy-to-use way. This is something that you should start from the very beginning of your case and build as you go forward.
Benefits of Organization
As described above, the most important reason to remain organized, as with a trial book, is to have easy access to all documents related to trial. Not only will this prevent losses of potentially valuable papers and time wasted looking for missing documents, it will save time during trial preparation, allow others to assist one more readily, and convey to the court and to the opposing party that one is organized and well-prepared.
No single method of organization is "best†when preparing a trial book. What works for one person may not work for another, so it is important to use whatever system makes one feel most comfortable and most able to find the information one needs most quickly and efficiently.
A simple, inexpensive way to prepare a trial book is to use a simple three-ring binder with dividers or tabbed inserts to separate various documents. The size of the notebook will depend on the type of trial and the amount of paper, but be prepared for the possibility that more than one volume could be necessary. If this is the case, it is helpful to make every binder of the same size and color, clearly labeled on the exterior regarding its content and the volume number, and to use the same type of organization system within each.
Currently, some parties choose to use electronic notebooks, with folders on a computer organizing one's information in the way section labels do with a hard-copy book. One who is comfortable with technology may find this method preferable.
Section labels again will depend on the particular case, but some common headings, with examples of what should be placed in that particular section, include:
Background—any initial information that brought the
about in the first place, including personal reflections
Case analysis—plan of attack: what law applies to one's position in relation to the available evidence
Discovery—answers to interrogatories, with notes regarding how those answers will potentially affect one's position at trial; independent medical examinations, if applicable
Pretrial orders—any orders from the court in response to motions (motion to extend, motion to compel, etc.) to provide a complete picture of the history of the progression to trial
Settlement negotiations—if settlement negotiations were attempted but failed, resulting in trial, the information gathered in such negotiations may be helpful in preparing one's argument at trial
Depositions—depositions of any witnesses, so that their answers are readily available; particularly useful if witness testimony is inconsistent therewith
Memoranda—information provided to others (to lay out a progression of communications, and as potential proof of communications alleged); information from others—advice from colleagues, professionals, etc.
Correspondence—letters, emails, and recorded conversations or messages regarding the case; particularly useful to show inconsistencies with what is presented at trial
Opening statement—outline of what points one wishes to emphasize during the opening statement, so that nothing is forgotten
Witnesses—list of one's own and one's opponent's witnesses, with information regarding each that may be important to confronting each at trial
Questioning—list of important questions that must be asked of witnesses; one may also find it helpful to include expected answers so that if a witness response is unanticipated a red flag is raised
Exhibit list—a list of exhibits offered at trial, as well as a copy of the other party's exhibits (which should be provided prior to trial)
Closing statement—outline of which points to reemphasize during closing
Some trial books will have all of the above sections and more, or be more elaborately subdivided. Others will have only a few of the above sections.
The most popular organization method of documents within sections in a trial book is chronological order. Chronology is beneficial because everything is easy to find by date, which is imperative because so many things in a case depend upon timing. Additionally, as the lawsuit progresses, more documents will appear and need to be included in the trial book; chronological order provides a clear location for each document to be placed and, later, found.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best Italian bubbly from BerlucchiWine tipsPosted by Per-Olof Diderot Sun, September 18, 2016 14:11:59
If you have followed vinblogg you may have noticed that we have a bubbly favorite in Italian Berlucchi from Franciacorta. Now we finally got the chance to visit this cult producer. And what wonderful impression we got from this meeting.
The area Franciacorta is a green oasis located in Lombardy. The producer Berlucchi was founded by Franco Ziliani during the magical year 1961 (my birth year by the way) and is currently the best sparkling wine producer in Italy, known far across the borders for its quality wines. They currently produce about 5 million bottles and stands for quality from the first to the last drop which impresse me a lot.
The property is located in a beautiful rolling countryside just south of Lake d'Iseo and next door to the Franciacorta Golf Club. Go and visit them because the property is a real gem and you will be greeted by wonderful people who love their profession and their products.
Berlucchi produces super bubbly regardless of which of their wines you choose. In Sweden there are currently three of their wines and Berlucchi61 is a big personal favorite in the past, but there is obviously room for more. So when I got the chance to test their Berlucchi61 Rosé I fell head over heels.
Berlucchi61 Rosé
The wine is made of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay harvested during the period from late August to early September. The color is perfect light pink with nose hints of minerals, strawberry and a nice citrus.
Taste is seductively good bubbly with delicious aromas of amazing minerals, citrus, wild strawberry and strawberry cream. So perfectly balanced that tou want a sparkling rosé to be. For me personally, this is the best Italian bubbly I've ever tested together with Cellarius Rosé from the same producer. Kudos to Berlucchi for the quality journey that they are on. For no doubt that the Franciacorta area can deliver fantastic world class sparkling wines.
Berlucchi61 Rosé fits most food, from seafood to pasta dishes or even as an aperitif with your loved one.
We had the honor to test the full range of Berlucchi wines and was hugely impressed. (A must is to buy their Cellarius Rosé) I have only chosen to write about the wines currently available for purchase in Sweden. Hopefully more Swedish wine consumers will discover Berlucchi and hope that we can buy the full product range in Sweden from this great producer in the future.
Grazie mille to Paolo Ziliani for the opportunity to visit the Berlucchi and wonderful Francesca Facchetti who was a fantastic guide presenting the property and its bubbly history. Berlucchi fan 4 ever.

To get ready for the weekend I had to fabricate a muffler for the GS450. I don't think my neighbors were very happy with me driving around with straight exhausts. At the same time I constructed a simple two to one collector for the exhaust, I have no clue if it will give more or less effect but I like how it looks 🙂
I also got some help in finding a suitable clutch and throttle wire for the taller handle bars. The brake line costs me a tenth of the bike so I guess that was a bit pricy but I was in a hurry so I couldn't be picky. The exhaust, muffler and changing of the handle bars was done in one day and now that I have ridden it for a few days I'm getting used to the different way of sitting. The bike also got a bit lower because of the new rear shocks, they're about two inches shorter than stock. I already broke a tail light when the rear wheel ripped it off so the current light is just temporary.
Today I got a hold of a gas tank that from what I was told was from a NV20 1925 and of course I had to do a mock up and hang it beside the bike. I like how it looks (I edited the image in my phone a bit to get rid of the lines from the stock tank).
Hopefully I will have the time to mount the tank pretty soon -=/Anders

The ELLE Bulgaria 'Rhytms of Africa' editorial finds no better inspiration for women's spring and summer wardrobes. Since the heat is undeniable on that particular continent, it is only natural that outfits there would be suitable for summers in other parts of the world. Not to mention that African women's use of vibrant fabrics and exotic patterns would liven up any ensemble, be it for a day at the office or a Saturday stroll shopping.
Shot by photographer Zlatimir Arakliev, the ELLE Bulgaria 'Rhytms of Africa' editorial is set to appear in the March 2013 issue of the magazine. It stars models Gloria P. and Dzhu Pi. They were both styled by Antonia Yordanova with finishing touches by hairstylist Kristina Topalova and makeup artist Slav.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- The last minute push to get people insured through the Affordable Care Act continues, and everyone from local government agencies to community organizations are getting involved.
"Hello. Have you signed up for health insurance yet?" That's Michael Fisher, one of the many volunteers with Organizing for Action who took on the task of reminding people about today's Healthcare.gov enrollment deadline. While his organization was getting the word out, groups like the Sarasota County Department of Health were providing assistance with the signup process -- a move they say is necessary to meet the looming deadline.
"Organizing for Action is doing its final push to get people enrolled in the health care exchanges by providing them with the information they need to do that," Fisher says.
"You have to have attempted to apply for coverage by 11:59 p.m. tonight, or if not you're not going to be able to be covered again until open enrollment," says Linda Stone of the Sarasota County Department of Health. That's not until Nov. 15, 2014 -- leaving a long wait for anyone who fails to meet the current deadline.
Stone says coverage will start on May 1st for those who meet the March 31 deadline. And there still may be some leeway for those who have started the process but are having trouble completing it.
"[The Center For Medicaid Services] is looking at a special enrollment period for individuals who had difficulty signing up," Stone says. "That being said, [CMS] are the ones who will determine if you're eligible for a special enrollment period, and you have to have attempted to apply for coverage by 11:59 p.m. tonight."
That special enrolment period will give those having difficulty until April 15th to complete the process. Still, volunteers like Fisher say you shouldn't take any chances.
"You never know what's going to happen to you," he says, "because the next accident you might have, you might be bankrupted."

11/9/2004: Big truffle
Katkeeper Tuesday Nov 9 02:08 PM
I'd prefer a black truffle that size but realize I can't be picky.
wolf Tuesday Nov 9 02:09 PM
I was hoping for the chocolate kind.
Roosta Tuesday Nov 9 06:11 PM
I' love to have enough money to eat that thing covered in baked beans in public.
Kitsune Tuesday Nov 9 11:11 PM
Can anyone that has tried one of these things describe what they taste like? And for that that amount of money, how powerful of an orgasm does it induce during digestion?
Bullitt Tuesday Nov 9 11:34 PM
I can't imagine eating something that looks like a tumor that got rolled around in a pile of dog sh*t.
pdaoust Wednesday Nov 10 03:34 AM
oh, actually, that crumbly stuff you're looking at isn't part of the truffle. It actually is dog sh*t.
Cyber Wolf Wednesday Nov 10 10:41 AM
I'm half-expecting it to suddenly expand and engulf the girl in a mass of truffle-y-goo then go on a rampage through the quiet lightly populated hillside. Mmmm...badly propped, B-movies...
garnet Wednesday Nov 10 10:46 AM
That's one nasty looking 'shroom. Yuck.
jaguar Wednesday Nov 10 11:44 AM
alphageek31337 Wednesday Nov 10 12:27 PM
actually, at 41000/kilo, it's only a little less expensive than its vision-inducing counterpart, which runs at a street price (around here) of about $20 for 1/8 ounce, so about 5500/kilo (with bulk discounts....free-market economists should really take a look at the drug market in the US. Maybe Limbaugh could call his addiction a case study...)
dar512 Wednesday Nov 10 12:41 PM
Creme tangerine and montelimar ...
Katkeeper Wednesday Nov 10 01:03 PM
I have only tried white truffle cream which is delicious. I have had slices black truffle in a sauce on tenderloin which was great. The truffle seems to enhance the flavor that is already there (which is why they are beloved by chefs) and add an earthy quality ot it.
glatt Wednesday Nov 10 01:07 PM
I've never had truffle, but I would try it if someone else paid for it.
jaguar Wednesday Nov 10 01:28 PM
Ah but truffles aren't usually this large (obviously) and the price distortion because of that is huge. A kilo of winter truffles would usually knock you back USD 2-2500ish unless something serious has happened since I last had the pleasure of browsing the food halls at harrods. Summer truffles are however far cheaper.
xoxoxoBruce Wednesday Nov 10 07:48 PM
I wonder why the difference between winter and summer prices? Different taste? scarcity in winter? Market demand/pressure? The winter dog poop is better than summer dog poop?
BrianR Thursday Nov 11 12:16 AM
Speaking of which, someone left a landmine right inside my front door today...each blames the other. Yech, I stepped right in it. Such are the pitfalls of owning dogs.
jaguar Thursday Nov 11 04:14 AM
scarcity, taste is the short answer.
Katkeeper Thursday Nov 11 07:21 AM
Truffles should be used soon after being harvested, explaining a difference in taste.
404Error Thursday Dec 9 10:11 PM
Update on the big expensive fungus, seems it spoiled before they got to use it.
BigV Friday Dec 10 02:39 AM
now wait just a minute here
There's a video of a truffle spoiling?
404Error Friday Dec 10 07:46 AM
V, I suspect a bit of sarcasm but I'll bite anyway. The video link is of the news clip they showed about the truffle, not a 'webcam' showing the slow frame by frame decay in action.
glatt Friday Dec 10 08:40 AM
When a big patch of mushrooms in my front yard "spoiled," it turned into a pile of what appeared to be a large dog's very loose stool. The only reason that I knew it wasn't really dog diarrhea is that I saw the slow deterioration of the mushrooms over the course of a week or two.
Cyber Wolf Friday Dec 10 01:37 PM
Interesting...the spoiled version of it looks less nasty than the fresh version.
garnet Friday Dec 10 01:48 PM
What a dumbass. Didn't the guy realize that maybe it was a bad idea to put a perishable item like a 'shroom in a safe for six days?

Pandemic Influenza : Confronting a Re-emergent Threat. Bethesda (USA), 1995/12/11.

Since an influenza virus variant of pandemic potential may appear at any time, plans must be made to use currently available vaccines and antivirals most advantageously.
Inactivated vaccines remain the principal intervention for the near future, and it can be assumed that quantities available at critical points in the epidemic will be limited unless advances are made in methods of vaccine production.
Repeated demonstration of the effectiveness of vaccination of older persons in preventing hospitalization and death confirms that the traditional high-risk groups should be given priority.
Since community transmission can be interrupted by vaccinating school-age children, this group may also be targeted.
Antivirals in use and under development will almost certainly be active against the pandemic variant.
Use during pandemics should be extensive but may be limited by the quantity of drugs available, the logistics of storage and distribution, and the possibility of side effects.

Emma Blackery, O2 Institute Birmingham, Birmingham - 3rd June 2017
I saw Emma with my daughter last year at the end of her tour and to be quite honest she was good, but not perfect. This year I can only add that she far exceeded that performance. What an amazing young artist. Spot on vocals, great pop-punk style and all interspersed with quiet acoustic spots. She has really developed as a performer. This was no doubt helped by a different backing band, who were nothing less than excellent all the way through. Especially "Brian". Great new live arrangements of her classic tracks, a better overall mix of the sound and bless her - a moving tribute to those who lost their lives in Manchester. I went as a chaperone to my daughter and ended up leaving a fan. Will not be missing the next gig, reminds me of my youth.

Here's an update on an amateur astronomer's amazing effort to prove that Einstein really was right during the 2017 total solar eclipse.
As you've perhaps read in Sky & Telescope's August 2016 issue, I'm gearing up for an experiment during next year's total solar eclipse that will use off-the-shelf equipment and software to measure the deflection of starlight due to the Sun's gravity — and thus prove that Einstein's general theory of relativity really is correct!
Since I wrote that article, there's good news on my data analysis for the eclipse experiment: I have demonstrated that I can measure the deflection of stars in a twilight sky to 0.05 arcsecond. This result shows that the equipment I am using will work! My test came too late to include in the S&T article, but I'll be updating my forthcoming presentation at the SAS Symposium with the new results shown below.
Here is what I did:
On April 20th, just after the sun set at 7:25 p.m., I focused my Tele Vue NP101is refractor on Procyon and locked the focuser. I then slewed my Bisque Paramount MyT to the location of the "right" reference star field (indicated in the sky chart below) and waited 15 more minutes. At 7:45 p.m., the Sun had dropped to 6° below the horizon. This produces a twilight sky as bright as during a typical total eclipse.
I captured 7 frames on the Finger Lakes ML8051 camera, each 3 seconds long, and then immediately slewed 8° to the area where the Sun would be during the eclipse. I captured 25 frames there, each 1 second long. I then immediately slewed 8° on the other side to the "left" calibration field and captured 7 more frames in 30 seconds.
The total time to accomplish all this was 2 minutes 20 seconds, just as long as totality in Wyoming during the 2017 eclipse. This is a good dress rehearsal — all that was missing was the Sun's gravity and the corona.
I processed the star centroids from all 39 images using MaximDL, Pinpoint, and Astrometrica. I was able to find 26 measurable stars in the eclipse images, and 36 and 42 good stars in the reference fields. I calculated the plate scale in the reference fields, and averaged them to get the plate scale to use in the eclipse field. This preliminary analysis can be considered as a "sanity check" on the entire experiment.
Then I plotted this data to show the deflection as a function of radial distance from the simulated Sun. Since there was no Sun, the gravitational deflection should be zero. The blue line in the graph at right is the deflection expected with the Sun in place in August 2017, and the orange dots are the deflections measured in April. The black line is the case for no gravity; as expected, the measured points cluster around this line.
For comparison, look at the data plot from a similar experiment, conducted in 1973, that had an 11% uncertainty. In that graph, shown below, the larger circles have the most confidence. Note that in the 1973 data, most of the stars are more than 4 solar radii away, while the stars in my plot are concentrated between 2 and 4 radii. This means that I will be measuring much larger deflections next year.
During the eclipse in 2017, I expect there will be fewer stars than in this "pretty good" simulation, but even if half of these stars are measurable, I think the results prove the capability of the equipment, my technique, and the data analysis.
The scatter in the data shows the measurement accuracy, and I'm working on a few improvements to reduce this scatter. The points toward the right side of my graph do not average to zero, for example. It turns out that these are stars near the edge of the camera frame. To simplify this preliminary data analysis, I did not include optical distortion, which (according to my zenith tests) is about 0.25 arcsecond — just about what is showing in the graph. Once I include this data correction, I am confident that those data points will also average to zero.
I will be making some other minor changes in the coming year to reduce the uncertainties even further. My final tests will be next spring, using the optimized configurations and updated software and procedures I am starting to write. I think my goal of measuring the deflection to the highest precision ever realized from the ground, using amateur equipment based on modern technology, is proven to be realistic.
If you want to learn more about my experiment, please read the detailed article that I prepared for the SAS Symposium. Also please contact me if you want to try to duplicate this project or offer help.

What is in the water in Canada at the moment? On the back of some cracking punk and hardcore albums last year from Propagandhi, Billy Talent and Alexisonfire. Cancer Bats unleash Bears, Mayors, Scraps and Bones, a brutal album from start to finish that ignites a fire deep inside and burns you with its intensity.
While much will be made about their cover of the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage', the fact remains that this album delivers the shot of adrenalin punk needs. Tracks like 'Sleep This Away', 'Black Metal Bicycle' and 'Dead Wrong' are spat out with venom. The aural assault continues throughout the fourteen tracks before closing with 'Sabotage', at which point you feel drained by the experience. Grumbling bass lines, screeching riffs and screaming vocals – what all good hardcore records should have on top of sheer force and grunt.
2010 could be the year for Canadian punk. Don't be surprised to see this in a lot of end of year lists in the scene. If this record sounds punishing, then good! Because this will be the best hardcore album you'll hear all year!

Rachel Dong Places Fifth In 100 Butterfly At Pac-10 Championships
March 1, 2002
LONG BEACH, Calif.-- The Washington State University Women's Swim Team sits in ninth place, just 18.5 points behind seventh-place Washington, after the second day of the Pacific-10 Conference Championships at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool.
No. 1 Stanford continues to hold the lead with 916 points, followed by No. 9 USC (792.5), No. 4 California (765), No. 7 Arizona (740), No. 11 UCLA (664.5), No. 10 Arizona State (539.5), Washington (319.5), Oregon State (318) and WSU (301). Oregon does not sponsor women's swimming.
Rachel Dong, a native of Paramount, Calif., proved to be a home town hero Friday, recording the WSU's best finish at the Pac-10's thus far. Dong grabbed fifth place in the 100 butterfly finals with a time of 55.02 seconds, swimming in the pool that is just miles from where she grew up. The sophomore co-captain also notched the Cougars' best finish in the 100 breaststroke, placing 16th in 1:04.56.
Also in the 100 butterfly, junior Lindsay Henahan placed 10th in a personal best 55.12 seconds, moving into second place on WSU's all-time list for the event. Junior Melissa Hubley added a 16th-place finish in the event also.
Rebecca Cohen continued to swim well for Washington State, establishing a personal best of 1:50.60 in the prelims of the 200 freestyle. The junior from Portland, Ore., missed the school record by .06 seconds, just one day after breaking WSU's 16-year-old record in the 500 freestyle. Cohen went on to place 24th in the 200 freestyle finals.
Two Cougars grabbed spots in the finals for the 100 backstroke. Sophomore Nicole Chinn recorded a personal best in the prelims with a time of 57.01, good enough for third on WSU's all-time list. The graduate of Seattle's Ranier Beach High School went on to place 15th in the finals. Katie Byrnes, who already holds second place on the school's 100 backstroke list, placed 20th in 57.09.
Christina Swanson, a sophomore from Bainbridge Island, Wash., also scored points for WSU, placing 23rd in the 100 breaststroke finals in 1:06.76.
Washington State placed eighth in both relays held Friday. The Cougar 200 medley relay of Chinn, Dong, Swanson and Andree-Anne LeRoy clocked in at 1:43.33. Dong, Cohen, LeRoy and Jadine Louw led WSU's 800 freestyle relay to a time of 7:29.97.
The Pac-10 competition will conclude Saturday at Belmont Plaza with the 1,650 freestyle, 200 backstroke, 100 freestyle, 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly and 400 freestyle relay. Preliminary heats for individual events will be held at 11 a.m., with finals for all events beginning at 6 p.m.

WALDORF, MD – The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs defeated the Newark Bears 6-1 on Monday night at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, Maryland.
Pitching was the story for both teams early as Joe Newby and Bob Zimmermann locked up for the second time in less than a week. Newby combined for a no-hitter with Jim Ed Warden against Newark last Wednesday. Tim Raines, Jr., who was traded to the Bears from Somerset prior to the start of the game, helped Newark take an early advantage. Raines drew a leadoff walk and stole second. Two batters later, Brian Barton drove him home on the first hit allowed by Newby in eight plus innings and Newark was up 1-0.
Zimmermann was strong through his first four frames as he allowed just two hits, struck out four and stranded four base runners. Following the Barton single, Newby retired 13 of the next 14 batters he faced, including 13 straight, with three strikeouts. Southern Maryland provided some run support in the home fifth. Christian Lopez reached on a throwing error and came around to score as Justin Armiger bunted for a single and an errant throw by Eric Munson pushed across a run and put him on second base. After a Shaun Cumberland single made it first and third with no outs, Casey Benjamin cleared the bases with a three-run shot on the first pitch he saw and it was 4-1 Blue Crabs.
Southern Maryland added insurance runs in the sixth and seventh off the Bears' bullpen. Benjamin ripped a one-out double and came around to score on a Travis Garcia single into left to push the lead to five runs. Armiger reached on a two-out double in the seventh and came home as Cumberland single into right to add the game's final run.
Newby (5-3) notched another win, firing six innings and scattering three hits, with a walk and three strikeouts. Steve Palazzolo, Ryan Spier and Jeff Ridgway combined to toss three scoreless innings in relief and allowed just one hit and two walks, with Ridgway striking out the side in the ninth. Zimmermann (1-3, 8-4 overall) suffered the loss, surrendering four runs, three earned, and six hits, with six strikeouts over five innings of work.
Newark continues the series with the Blue Crabs Tuesday night at Regency Furniture Stadium. Game time is set for 7:05 p.m.. Fans can tune into all the action at www.newarkbears.com with David Greenwald providing the play-by-play.

text: B. W. This letter of appreciation is in recognition of the doctors, nurses, and staff of the third and fourth floor ICU units at Rideout who were so attentive, gracious, caring, and kind to our Aunt during the 31 days she spent at the hospital prior to her passing. The depth of knowledge and devotion to each medical process, and follow-up procedures to assure she was given a chance to fight her disease was of the highest caliber. Although she couldn't understand or express the depth of care and attention she received, I know she was kept comfortable and felt a strong connection to those who tended to her every need. I want to express a special thanks to my friend and a wonderful doctor, Dr. Paul Bains. Dr. Bains was there day or night when the family had questions or concerns and never hesitated to stop in and comfort us during a very difficult time. ICU Nurse Kimmie [Harmon] was so compassionate and thorough with caring for B and went out of her way to assist the family with understanding what each of the procedures were. There were so many doctors, nurses, and staff taking care of B and we didn't take note of all the names, although I am sure each of them know who they are and we want to thank them as well. I want to express our true appreciation for all you did during a very difficult time. No words can express our gratitude towards all of you.

Gaming Steve asks, "I was asked which game I would love to see come out for the Nintendo Virtual Console / Xbox Live Arcade / PlayStation Network. It was a tricky question as there are so many games I would love to play again from my childhood, but right at the very top of my list was one of my favorite games of all time, StarTropics.
So imagine my shock when I heard that Nintendo was releasing StarTropics for the Virtual Console ... today!
What game from your childhood would like to see re-released?"
Dude, I have no freaking idea why Nintendo dropped Star Tropics but they need to pick it back up. My game(s) though would have to be Ranger X, a TRUE sequel to Chronotrigger, updated Illusion of Gaia, River City Ransom, and anything from Treasure.
the new versions of both franchises suck. I hate Traveler's Tales and Vicarious Visions for that.

EAST TEXAS (KTRE) - The weather should be fairly nice for your 4th of July festivities around East Texas. Other than an isolated, afternoon shower or storm, most areas will remain dry on Thursday. Any storms that do develop will weaken and fade away by sunset, allowing the firework shows to go off without a hitch from Mother Nature.
Our rain chances will remain slim over the next few days until tropical moisture surges back in late this weekend.
All the heavy rain that has been impacting the east coast will slowly retrograde and move westward over the next few days. By the time we head into the Sunday and Monday time frame, computer models show that surge of tropical moisture returning to the upper Texas coast and southern Louisiana.
This surge in moisture will be aided by an area of low pressure in the northern Gulf of Mexico. At this time, we don't anticipate any tropical formation, but it would at least enhance our rain chances around here should it track in that general area in a few days.
Considering we have been fairly dry over the past two weeks, we could certainly use a few downpours to help the dry soils in the Piney Woods.
If you know you will be away from your computer or television set over the next few days, remember to download our KTRE weather app. in your app. store. Our weather app. gives you access to Interactive radar, alerts you to any severe weather, and allows you to easily submit your weather photos to our photo gallery on ktre.com.

PERMANA, SHAMHADI (2010) PENGARUH HATHA YOGA UNTUK MENGURANGI GEJALA INSOMNIA. Other thesis, University of Muhammadiyah Malang.
Download (84kB) | Preview
Insomnia is one of psychological disturbance with symptom difficulty to initiate sleep and maintain sleep in which these disorders occur for at least a month. Because of difficulty in falling asleep and awake all night making sleep quality of the individuals are insomnia to decrease. And this will gradually disrupt the function of the individual, whether in social's performance, occupational and other important functions. Because of that fact the aim of this research is knowing whether the hatha yoga as treatment can help people suffering from insomnia becomes easier to initiate and maintain sleep. This research apply in experimental methods, using a quasi experimental design model with a nonrandomized pretestposttest control group design. The methods to collect of data using a PSQI and interviews. To analyzing the data here is using statistical analysis as test. Results obtained from the experimental group after the treatment given is that there is t value as 4.569 at 0.002 significance level. At the time of followup t value from the experimental group insomnia symptom score is 0992, at 0.002 the level of significance, while that changes has not occurred in either control group from pretest to posttest as well as followup's phase. So it canbe concluded that insomnia's symptoms of subjects experimental group significantly reduced after applying yoga, which means there is influence from yoga to reduce insomnia's symptoms.

February 11, 2014 09:00 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) -
(all financial figures are unaudited and in Canadian dollars)
Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. (TSX:ENF) (ENF or the Company) announced today earnings of $86.6 million or $1.55 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to earnings of $59.8 million or $1.48 per common share for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The Company's financial performance is a direct reflection of the Fund's ability to generate cash for distribution to its unitholders. The Fund's cash available for distribution (CAFD) totaled $263.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared with $195.6 million in the prior year. The improvement in CAFD was primarily due to positive cash flow generated by the Hardisty Crude Oil Storage Assets, Greenwich Wind Project and the Amherstburg and Tilbury Solar Projects following their acquisition in December 2012 (the 2012 Acquisition). CAFD also reflects incremental cash flow from the Bakken Expansion which commenced service on March 1, 2013.
"The Company and the Fund experienced another strong year in 2013," said Perry Schuldhaus, President of Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. "Performance of the underlying base business has remained solid and when combined with the crude oil storage and renewable power generation assets acquired in December 2012, the Fund generated a significant increase in distributable cash. The Fund remains well positioned to respond to additional acquisition opportunities and is encouraged that Enbridge's announced funding strategy contemplates further asset drop downs to us."
Mr. Schuldhaus became President on January 1, 2014, succeeding John Whelen who remains the Senior Vice-President and Controller of Enbridge Inc. Mr. Schuldhaus has extensive experience with the Fund's Liquids Transportation and Storage assets and was instrumental in the negotiation and resolution of the settlement agreement made with shippers on the Westspur System.
"I would like to thank John Whelen for his dedication to the Company and the Fund. John's contributions are reflected in the growth in the Fund's asset base as well as its capital raising capacity," concluded Mr. Schuldhaus.
On February 10, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a monthly cash dividend of $0.1146 per common share to be paid on March 17, 2014 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2014. The dividend is designated an eligible dividend for Canadian tax purposes which qualifies for the enhanced dividend tax credit.
The audited financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) of both the Company and the Fund, which contain additional notes and disclosures, are available on the Company's website at www.enbridgeincomefund.com. We further draw your attention to Note 4, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2013, which discusses a non-cash revision to comparative financial statements. These revisions were not material to the Fund's earnings in prior periods and did not impact the Fund's cash available for distribution.
Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. (the Company) is a publicly traded corporation. Through its ownership in Enbridge Income Fund (the Fund), the Company has interests in a diversified portfolio of high quality, low risk energy infrastructure assets in Canada. The Fund, with an enterprise value of approximately $5 billion, owns assets that include crude oil gathering pipelines in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and crude oil storage terminals and caverns in Hardisty, Alberta, as well as interests in more than 500 megawatts of renewable and alternative power generation capacity in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario. The Fund also holds a 50% interest in the Canadian segment of the Alliance Pipeline that transports high-energy, rich natural gas from northeastern British Columbia and northwestern Alberta to delivery points near Chicago, Illinois. Information about Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc. is available on the Company's website at www.enbridgeincomefund.com.
In the interest of providing the Company's shareholders and potential investors with information about the Company and its investee, the Fund, and the Fund's subsidiaries and joint ventures, including management's assessment of the Company's and the Fund's future plans and operations, certain information provided in this News Release constitutes forward-looking statements or information (collectively, "forward-looking statements"). This information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "anticipate", "expect", "project", "estimate", "forecast", "plan", "intend", "target", "believe" and similar words suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. In particular, forward-looking statements include:
Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable based on the information available on the date such statements are made and processes are used to prepare the information, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and readers are cautioned against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, these statements involve a variety of assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, levels of activity and achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Material assumptions include assumptions about: the expected supply and demand for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; prices of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; expected exchange rates; inflation; interest rates; the availability and price of labour and pipeline construction materials; operational reliability; customer project approvals; maintenance of support and regulatory approval for the Fund's projects; anticipated in-service dates and weather. Assumptions regarding the expected supply and demand of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids, and the prices of these commodities, are material to and underlay all forward-looking statements. These factors are relevant to all forward-looking statements as they may impact current and future levels of demand for the Fund's services. Similarly, exchange rates, inflation and interest rates impact the economies and business environments in which the Company and the Fund operates, may impact levels of demand for the Fund's services and cost of inputs, and are therefore inherent in all forward-looking statements. Due to the interdependencies and correlation of these macroeconomic factors, the impact of any one assumption on a forward-looking statement cannot be determined with certainty, particularly with respect to expected earnings and associated per unit or per share amounts, or estimated future distributions or dividends. The most relevant assumptions associated with forward-looking statements on projects under construction, including estimated in-service dates and expected capital expenditures, include: the availability and price of labour and pipeline construction materials; the effects of inflation on labour and material costs; the effects of interest rates on borrowing costs; and the impact of weather, customer and regulatory approvals on construction schedules.
The Company's forward-looking statements, and forward looking statements with respect to the Fund, are subject to risks and uncertainties pertaining to operating performance, regulatory parameters, project approval and support, weather, economic conditions, changes in tax law, tax rates, exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices, including but not limited to those risks and uncertainties discussed in this News Release and in the Company's and the Fund's other filings with Canadian securities regulators. The impact of any one risk, uncertainty or factor on a particular forward-looking statement is not determinable with certainty as these are interdependent and the Company's and the Fund's future course of action depends on management's assessment of all information available at the relevant time. Except to the extent required by law, the Company and the Fund assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made in this News Release or otherwise, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements whether written or oral, attributable to the Company or the Fund or persons acting on the Company's or the Fund's behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements.
This News Release contains references to the Fund's cash available for distribution. Cash available for distribution represents the Fund's cash available to fund distributions on trust units and ECT preferred units as well as for debt repayments and reserves. This measure is important to shareholders as the Company's objective is to provide a predictable flow of dividends to shareholders and the Company's cash flows are derived from its investment in the Fund. Cash available for distribution is not a measure that has standardized meaning prescribed by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S.GAAP) and is not considered a GAAP measure. Therefore, this measure may not be comparable with similar measures presented by other issuers. The Fund's Cash Available for Distribution reconciliation is as follows:
(1) In accordance with U.S. GAAP, cash provided by operating activities for all 2012 periods has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information related to the 2012 Acquisition. The impact of the retrospective adjustments has been eliminated from CAFD as these cash flows were not available to distribute to unitholders.
(1) Financial Highlights for Enbridge Income Fund have been extracted from financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2) Earnings for the three months and year ended December 31, 2012 have been revised. See Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements of Enbridge Income Fund for the year ended December 31, 2013.
(3) In accordance with U.S. GAAP, earnings and cash provided by operating activities for all 2012 periods have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information related to the 2012 Acquisition. Financing charges have not been retrospectively adjusted.

We are always hearing of people who are around seeking after the [ideal diet]. I have never seen a (permanent) specimen. I think he has never lived. But I have seen several entirely sincere people who thought they were (permanent) Seekers after the [Perfect Diet]. They sought diligently, persistently, carefully, cautiously, profoundly, with perfect honesty and nicely adjusted judgment- until they believed that without doubt or question they had found the [perfect food]. That was the end of the search. The man spent the rest of his hunting up shingles wherewith to protect his [diet] from the weather.- Apologies to Mark Twain, "What is Man?"
There are restrictions that blame individual ingredients, like MSG or gluten. Or diets that glorify or demonise an entire Macro-nutrient (protein, fats, carbohydrates). Diets that increase fiber, ethically restrict meat and dairy, or encourage fair trade practices. And there's the pursuit of "natural", "clean", "non-GMO" or "minimally processed".
On top of this there's the national guides that typically promote a balanced diet with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Brazil has come out with a divergent plan that emphasizes minimally processed, eating slowly and dining with family.
One of the consequences of this multiplicity of choices, is that serious dieters are a constant search for the perfect food. I'm of the mind, after three years of logging and dieting consistently, is that it's not one food or the other that makes or breaks a diet. Sometimes the best foods are the ones that sit right in the middle. I came to this revelation as I was browsing around nutritiondata one day, looking for high-protein, low-fat options. After several miserable searches roaming near the peaks of the caloric ratio pyramid, I started browsing the middle. I searched for foods with a ratio of 30:30:40 (Carbohydrates, Fats, Protein). Up popped Edamame.
Right away, I started to see the advantages of this little bean for the diabetic as it provides a steady stream of energy; no peaks or valleys. The modest fat content provides staying power. I wandered around that magic triangle again today and came up with a short list of foods that naturally fit in this middle.
Even foods that may be deficient one way or another, can be combined with it's partners to be so much better. Consider onions, beef, beans, and tomatoes. Together they make something great, possibly better than they can do on their own. When that chili is ready, sprinkle it with a little sharp cheddar and serve it with a buttered chunk of corn bread; even better. Finish the meal off with a fruit salad garnished with a dollop of whipped cream. There's got to be a reason this sounds so satisfying, right?
So I suggest, for sanity's sake, relax your food choices. As long as you are eating a variety of foods in a modest amount, it's all good. Glory in the middle and leave the extremes.

Immigrant Detention Quota is News to Candidates
by Arnie Alpert and Lia Lindsey
"I'll look into that question, nobody has ever asked me that before," Hillary Clinton told some high school students in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
At the Snowshoe Club in Concord, New Hampshire, Senator Lindsay Graham said, "I thought I knew everything about immigration until now."
"It would be a little disingenuous for me to tell you what I'm going to do to fix a problem I'm not aware of. So, I couldn't answer that," was the response from Mike Huckabee in Altoona.
"I'd have to check," said John Kasich in Concord.
The question that has them stumped concerns a federal budget provision that sets a daily quota for the number of immigrant detention beds. The number is a shocking 34,000, with roughly half being in for-profit prisons operated by corporations that spend millions of dollars a year on lobbyists and campaign contributions.
Advocates for immigrants' rights call the provision the "detention bed mandate. " We also call it a prime example of GUI, or "governing under the influence."
The "detention bad mandate" has been a provision of the federal budget since 2007. The most recent version, written into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) section of the DHS budget approved in Congress on March 3, states, "that funding made available under this heading shall maintain a level of not less than 34,000 detention beds through September 30, 2015."
In his budget for the 2016 fiscal year, President Barack Obama proposed raising the number to 34,040.
"No other law enforcement agency in the country makes detention decisions based upon a need to fill beds rather than an individualized assessment of risk factors," notes the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
The policy leading to the imprisonment of tens of thousands of immigrants is not dictated by "homeland security" needs. But it does meet the needs of the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) and the GEO Group, the two biggest operators in the prison-for-profit business. Together they spent nearly $15 million on lobbyists from 2006 to 2014, and invested $2.7 million in candidates during the same period.
Their investment seems to be paying off.
CCA and GEO don't leave their fortunes in the hands of lobbyists and Congress members alone. Three of the last four directors of the Federal Bureau of Prisons have seats on the board of directors of CCA or GEO. GEO also elected a former head of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to its board. Some people call this a "revolving door" between government service and service to big business. We might call it the Cabinet to Corporate Board Pipeline.
These two companies openly admit that reforms leading to fewer incarcerated immigrants would harm their business plans. In the "Risk Factors" section of its Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), CCA reports that "any changes with respect to drugs and controlled substances or illegal immigration could affect the number of persons arrested, convicted, and sentenced, thereby potentially reducing demand for correctional facilities to house them." Then the privatization leader singles out "Immigration reform laws" under consideration at the federal, state, and local level as a risk to their business model.
The GEO Group's SEC documents reveal similar truths.
Big corporations can get away with distortions in many venues, but "laws and regulations prohibit companies from making materially false or misleading statements in their 10-Ks," states the SEC, which is responsible for regulating publicly traded corporations such as CCA and GEO.
The Problem with the Bed Mandate
It's not just that people who shouldn't be incarcerated are being held behind bars. It's also a fact that for-profit prisons have a deserved reputation for violence, escapes, and abuses, all at high cost to taxpayers and without the levels of accountability found in public sector facilities.
In March the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) ended a contract with the Management and Training Corporation, another prison-for-profit company, to run the Willacy County Correctional Center in Texas. Following research into the Willacy County facility and others like it, the ACLU recently reported, "Our investigation uncovered evidence that the immigrants held in these private prisons are subjected to shocking abuse and mistreatment and discriminated against by BOP policies that impede family contact and exclude them from rehabilitative programs. Meanwhile, these private prisons operate in the shadows, effectively free from public scrutiny," the ACLU wrote. Closing Willacy County was a good move.
A recent letter to chair of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee signed by 62 members of Congress said, "The arbitrary and costly detention bed mandate runs counter to the best practices of law enforcement. Indeed, no other law enforcement agency is subject to a quota dictated by Congress for the number of people it must keep in jail each day. Eliminating the mandate would bring ICE in line with the best practices of other law enforcement agencies that use detention beds based on actual need and the potential risked posed by individual detainees." This letter was another good move.
Our next move is to find out what all of the presidential candidates think. Should the companies benefitting from government contracts – often labelled "crony capitalists" by conservatives, be able to reinvest their profits in getting more government contracts? Should people be imprisoned at all in facilities operated primarily in service to shareholders rather than the citizenry? If you happen to run into Jeb Bush, Martin O'Malley, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders, or any of the rest of the pack, ask them for an opinion.
And let us know what you find out.

After prayers, time to train for Sreesanth
The tika on the forehead was prominent. Eyes shut and palms pressed tightly against each other, resembling a pious god man in a trance, S Sreesanth thanked the almighty before anyone else while talking to a herd of reporters. Sai Mohan reports.cricket Updated: Jun 13, 2013 01:08 IST
The tika on the forehead was prominent. Eyes shut and palms pressed tightly against each other, resembling a pious god man in a trance, S Sreesanth thanked the almighty before anyone else while talking to a herd of reporters. He gladly let the media hound him minutes upon his release from Tihar Jail on Tuesday evening. The bowler must have felt a cold chill in his spine when asked about his cricketing career, knowing well that cricket authorities are unlikely to let him back in the fray soon.
Following the path of a Bhakti Yogi, Sreesanth's days in Tihar were spent chanting the name of god. "In every ward, we have make-shift temples and mosques. Sreesanth, alone in his cell, would spend almost the whole day performing his religious practices," Sunil Gupta, PRO Tihar, said.
Though bail for Sreesanth is a defeat for Delhi Police, jailors at Tihar are happy to see his back. "We are always happy when someone gets bail. With 13,000 prisoners inside, it becomes a challenge. So even though one prisoner getting out is just one drop in the ocean, we are happy. Our duty is the well-being and rehabilitation of a prisoner. And Sreesanth was very disciplined and silent. Though conservative, he was easily communicable. He confined himself to pooja and a bit of reading," an insider told HT.
Change of cars
There ensued a comedy of errors after Sreesanth flew back to Kochi on Wednesday morning. With his flight arriving earlier than expected, at 9.25am, he couldn't be greeted by his father at the airport. "Close to 60-70 people, including the media, welcomed him. But his father, who was keen to meet him before anyone else, couldn't make it on time. Wearing a few garlands, Sreesanth and his friends left for his brother-in-law Madhu Balakrishnan's house in Tripunithura, where his parents too were staying. About 20 minutes after Sreesanth left, he received a call from his father. He changed cars midway to ride home with his dad," said a source.
Having reached his brother-in-law's house, Sreesanth ignored the media and ran to his mother, awaiting her son at the door with a garland. They hugged and cried together, onlookers were touched. "He has come home after a long gap of 27 days. We all were crying out of happiness. He was very hungry so we prepared him his favourite breakfast. Whatever he always likes. I just want to spend time with my son now. Nobody should suffer so much. Nobody deserves this," Savithri Devi, Sreesanth's mother, told HT.
Now, Sreesanth is keen on visiting his favourite ground in Edapalli, where he wants to play tennis ball cricket with friends. "He is itching to play," added the source. Sreesanth is also keen on introducing his girlfriend to parents, revealed the source. "She is a north Indian girl, and his parents are conventional. But Sree wants to settle down soon."
"There is lot of sympathy for Sreesanth right now. Especially when MCOCA was slapped on his case, people felt it was harsh."
KCA to wait for BCCI
Though Sreesanth intends to get back to cricketing shape, he still doesn't have the blessings of KCA. "Since he is suspended by the BCCI, we cannot take a different view.
He will have to train privately since KCA grounds won't be made available to him. We have sympathy for him, but from a legal point of view, he is a contracted player of BCCI. We will await a decision from the BCCI before letting him back in the fold," TC Matthew, KCA secretary, told HT.

text: The Rideau Canal could not have been built without the hundreds of labourers who poured into Bytown during its construction, many of whom were Irish, Scottish, and English immigrants lured by the promise of land and steady work. While some made the voyage with the help of government-assisted programs, others emigrated out of sheer desperation to escape the squalor of their native countries. As Bytown's population swelled with each wave of immigration, social class, kinship, and economic circumstances influenced the settlement patterns of its new arrivals. The canal played a clear role in these settlement patterns as well, effectively dividing Bytown into Upper Town, home to Bytown's wealthier Scottish and English immigrants, and Lower Town, home to its poorer Irish and French-Canadian population. With each group's perceived upper- and lower-class status reinforced by this geographic divide, their respective cultural traditions and religious affiliations became an ongoing source of tension.

June 27 Action Alert: Help Save Medicaid
Do you know someone who lives in Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, Maine, Ohio, or Nevada? Ask them to call their Senator today and HELP SAVE MEDICAID.
In the next few days the U.S. Senate will be be voting on the Better Care Reconciliation Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act and make significant cuts and caps to the Medicaid program.
This drastic reduction in funding would force states to cut services to children with disabilities. In Minnesota more than 200,000 children and adults with disabilities receive Medicaid assistance. Additionally, Minnesota schools annually receive approximately $45 million in Medicaid reimbursements for health-related services for students with disabilities, such as occupational, physical, and speech therapy. If this bill becomes law, the important services and programs that Medicaid funds to support children with disabilities at home, school, and in the community will be at risk.
Minnesota's Senators Klobuchar and Franken have announced they will vote against the bill. Only a few more Senators need to oppose it for the bill to fail. The Senators listed below from Colorado, Ohio, Nevada, Alaska, Louisiana, and Maine have been identified as those most likely to vote against the bill. If you know someone in these states, please ask them to call their Senator today with the simple message:
"Please vote against the Better Care Reconciliation Act because it cuts and caps Medicaid. These cuts will be devastating to children and adults with disabilities and their families."
