Plainview, Kan., exists in Catherine Trieschmann's imagination.
But the playwright is no stranger to the actual fertile flatlands of the Great Plains, the threat of tornadoes that hangs above the American heartland's sky and its charged social issues.
All of this inspired her to pen "How the World Began," a one-act drama set in that fictional town that will make its global debut Friday night at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa.
For six years, Trieschmann and her husband have lived in the real town of Hays, Kan., halfway between Kansas City and Denver.
"I was inspired by getting at the root as to why people hold onto some of those ideas," the playwright said in a phone interview.
She was referring to a long-running national debate about whether creationist ideas stemming from the Book of Genesis belong in American school textbooks alongside the teaching of evolutionary theory. The controversy around that discussion forms the plot line's crux.
"How the World Began" comprises four scenes played by a cast of three, whom Trieschmann seems to treat equally as protagonists. The plot unfolds inside a starkly-lit FEMA trailer that houses a high school classroom in Plainview, where a twister has struck, killing 17 in its path.
Susan Pierce, a high school biology teacher played by Sarah Rafferty, is a newcomer to Plainview, as well as a pregnant single woman and fresh transplant from New York City. From that hotbed of liberalism she brings with her a rigid set of pro-evolutionary notions, which clashes with the locals' own religious beliefs.
When Susan makes a remark in her classroom that indirectly dismisses creationist theories as "gobbledy gook," she triggers a conflict with one of her teen-aged students, Micah Staab, played by Jarrett Sleeper.
The drama escalates in her dealings with the character of Gene Dinkel, a local man played by Time Winters. Dinkel comes to the classroom bearing a homemade pie, clearly designed to disarm the teacher and sweeten her into apologizing to Micah and his classmates for uttering the offending remark.
Trieschmann, a believer, said she treats each of the three characters with an equal measure of criticism and compassion.
"I don't believe that [the theory of] intelligent design has a place in the science classroom," Trieschmann said. "I am a Christian who believes in the separation of church and state."
A real-life debate pitting creationists against proponents of evolutionary theory was raging in Hays in 2005, when Trieschmann and her spouse, Carl Miller, arrived there from Washington, D.C., for his new job as a philosophy professor at Ft. Hays State University, which is mentioned in the play.
Trieschmann said the idea came to her because Miller had taken part in panel discussions on the so-called theory of intelligent design. An offshoot of the creationist movement, I.D. theory claims a scientific basis to the argument that humans did not necessarily evolve randomly as descendants of apes — as posited by Darwin's theory of natural selection — but through God's design.
Such a debate in one form or another has spilled over into courtroom battles since the landmark "Scopes Monkey Trial" of the 1920s. A school teacher, John Scopes, went on trial in Tennessee and was convicted then for violating a state act that barred the teaching of "any theory that denies the divine creation of man and teaches instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals," according to an excerpt of the Butler Act cited by the National Center for Science Education.
At least one court case arising from the ongoing debate has unfolded in Orange County. Twenty years ago, John E. Peloza, a biology teacher in the San Juan Capistrano Unified School District, sued district officials for making him teach evolutionary theory as scientific fact while preventing him from airing his religious beliefs in his classroom, according to the NCSE. Peloza lost.
The debate around intelligent design picked up steam in recent years, when a conservative group in Dover, Pa., went to court to try and force the school district there to incorporate I.D. into the curriculum. At around the time when Trieschmann and Miller landed in Hays, the Kansas state school board was debating a similar question.
"How the World Began," which has been in previews on the Julianne Argyros stage since Sunday, opens at 7:45 p.m. Friday.
The play, which is making its world debut at SCR in association with the Women's Project Theater in New York, is the second production in SCR's 2011-12 season. The play was selected for production here at this spring's Pacific Playwrights Festival at SCR, where a reading of the script was given.
The season marks the first under the theater company's new artistic director, Marc Masterson.
He is a former artistic director of the City Theatre in Pittsburgh, where the director of "How the World Began," Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Daniella Topol, interned under him.
"What the play is really about is how we treat other's beliefs — in what way do we respect or disrespect them?" Topol said in an interview before directing a rehearsal of the production.

How to Choose a Business Name That Helps You - Not Hurts You
How to Choose a Business Name That Helps You - Not Hurts You
During the initial stages of starting a business, choosing the right name of your company can be a difficult task to say the least. It may surprise you but even the name of your business can trigger a red flag with some lenders and creditors.
Unfortunately, many business owners don't take this simple step into consideration, especially when it comes to the business credit building process.
Before you pick a business name, follow these three steps:
Step 1: Conduct a Trademark Search
You may come across a great idea for a business name, but first you should make sure that you won't be infringing upon a prior user's trademark.
The first step is to conduct a trademark search by using the Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS).
This search engine allows you to search the database of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Once you have completed your search and the results uncover no likelihood of confusion, then you will be ready to proceed.
If you fail to follow this step, it can potentially lead to disaster for your business in many ways. Imagine if you had to recall all of your products because of a demand by a prior trademark user. Not only that, but you can end up paying the other party's attorney fees and monetary damages, which can get very costly.
If you decide to own a federal trademark, your business will have several advantages, such as:
• Public notice of your claim of ownership of the mark;
• A legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and your exclusive right to use the mark nationwide on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration;
• The ability to bring an action concerning the mark in federal court;
• The use of the U.S. registration as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries;
• The ability to record the U.S. registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Service to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods;
• The right to use the federal registration symbol ® and
• Listing in the USPTO online databases.
For more trademark information, tools, applications, and documentation visit the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Step 2: Pick a Safe Business Name
One of the common mistakes that can impact your company's ability in obtaining credit is in the name you choose. Picking the wrong type of business name can automatically label your company as a high risk.
There are certain industries that the business credit reporting agencies classify as risky, so picking a company name in a high risk category can possibly trigger an automatic turndown, higher premium and/or reduced credit limit recommendations for your business.
For example, real estate is considered a very high risk industry, so naming your company John Doe Real Estate Investments would not be the best choice if you plan to apply for financing. Pick a safe name that won't get your company labeled as a high risk.
Step 3: Pick a Unique Business Name
While the sound and spelling of a business name – as well as the availability of a dotcom – play a key role, don't let this be the single factor that drives your decision.
What makes a good name for a business from a marketing standpoint is usually the opposite of what makes a good name from a legal standpoint.
Even though you may think that choosing a business name that describes your product in the name is much better for marketing purposes, it does give you less protection from other people using it against you.
It really depends on what makes the best business sense, but this is something you should definitely cover with both your marketing and legal team.
Select a unique business name that is marketable and protects you legally. Before you incorporate, take the time to review these three steps so you can pick a business name that works and benefits you.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has broken his silence about the substance abuse issues that drove him to rehab last year, revealing his infamous outburst at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas last September made him realize it was time to get help.
The singer has recalled his darkest days in a new Rolling Stone magazine interview, explaining years of alcohol and prescription pill abuse took their toll on his health.
He explains, "I couldn't predict where I was going to end up at the end of the night. I'd wake up in a strange house on a couch. I wouldn't remember how. It was a complete blackout."
But it was his behavior at the Las Vegas festival, where he hurled abuse at promoters and smashed up his guitar onstage after accusing them of cutting his band's set short, which was the catalyst for him seeking professional treatment.
He adds, "I remember tiny things. The next morning, I woke up. I asked (my wife) Adrienne, 'How bad was it?' She said, 'It's bad.' I called my manager and he said, 'You're getting on a plane, going back to Oakland and going into rehab immediately.'"
Armstrong has been out of the public eye ever since, prompting his bandmates to scrap a series of concerts and appearances to promote their album trilogy Uno!, Dos! and Tre!
The rockers will pick up tour dates next month and make their debut at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Re-Thinking the Gallery Wall: 10 Funky New Ideas
1. From Architectural Digest, this is a more permanent, but really fascinating, take on a gallery wall, sort of a hybrid of a gallery wall and a shadow box. Spaces for each piece of art are built out from the wall and covered in glass, which makes this a great place to store little tchotchkes and objects d'art as well, safe from dust and little hands.
2. Instead of leaving space between frames, try grouping them right next to each other. This particular arrangement is interesting, monolithic, even a bit sculptural. Photo by Debi Treloar via Poppytalk.
3. I love this art-on-art look from The Selby. A patterned wallpaper or ethnic textile behind framed art creates a fascinating texture.
4. In this living room from Rue, the the diamond pattern forms a sort of raison d'etre for the arrangement of the gallery wall; like in the previous image, the pattern brings the pictures into a textural whole, rather than letting them be the center of attention.
5. Washi tape picture frames make for a lovely, informal, and super-affordable take on the gallery wall. Image from Design*Sponge.
6. Turn it around! Add swords and crucifixes. Instant drama. Image from Design*Sponge.
7. From Brooklyn Bride: in lieu of paintings or prints, a gallery wall of favorite objects, hung on the wall and framed.
8. Lovely and informal, with frames within frames. From Hus & Hem.
9. On Project Nursery, a gallery of frames on a chalkboard-painted wall mixes hand doodles and art. I love the tremendous flexibility this setup provides; if you get bored easily, you can change things around to suit your mood.
10. Try oversize frames, all the same size, blocked together for an architectural look. Image from Architectural Digest.

2-what does everyone use under the tires to keep them off the ground when parked for a few months?
New RVers tend to over-think and worry about things needlessly. Don't stress over minor things!ArdraF
Putting stuff under the tires for storage partly depends on the climate you live in and the type of surface you would be parked on.
Nothing. We're usually on concrete and don't worry about it. New RVers tend to over-think and worry about things needlessly. Don't stress over minor things!ArdraF
My '00 Bounder has a 4 point Power Gear system. The 2 front ones go up and down as a pair. The rear ones can be operated individually.The book says lower the front ones until they lift the coach a bit and then level side to side with the rears.[/quoteMy Dolphin is the same way. I didn't like them at first, but after I got used to them they're not too bad. If you have HWH joystick control, they are a little more complicated. Read the manual, you can apply more to either the front or rear even when using it in side mode. On my Daybreak, I always had to do the front first because it sat nose down under most circumstances. The best system that I've had was the old HWH 4 stick manual, they were the easiest for me.

Worms are any of thousands of species of animals that usually have long tubular bodies, no legs, and no visible sensory organs. Nearly all worms are invertebrates and have neither an internal skeletal system nor an external skeletal system. The term is in common usage, but it is not used in modern scientific classifications. The modern word originated from the Old English language, in which the word wyrm was used to refer to a mythical serpentine dragon. It was later adapted and used in the taxonomy system of Carolus Linnaeus.
Worms vary in size and can range from microscopic organisms to sea-dwelling monstrosities over 180 feet in length. Some of the types of animals commonly referred to as worms include earthworms, roundworms, flatworms, arrow worms and many types of insect larvae, such as maggots and grubs. Many types of worms are parasites, living inside the bodies of humans or other animals to the detriment of the host.
Worm Habitat and Ecology
Worms can be found in nearly every ecosystem in the world. They can be found in freshwater, saltwater, on the seashore, on the surface of the soil and underground. They can also be found living inside of plants or animals as parasites, eventually deteriorating the health of the host.
Worms also have a variety of ecological roles. While some worms are parasites, living inside of a host animal, most worms live free on the surface of the soil, underground or in bodies of water. Many free-living worms are considered decomposers because they eat dead plants and animals, transferring their nutrients to the soil through their excrement or castings. Worms also play an important role in the food chain of nearly every ecosystem.
Worms in Culture
Worms are usually considered vile and disgusting animals because they are associated with dirt, decomposition and parasites. Worms are often used as a metaphor or analogy for corrupt people, evil people or people with otherwise poor moral standards.
More recently, worms have been used to describe a type of malicious software or a virus that hides inside a computer system and can move locations by "burrowing" into other files or folders.

DALLAS — The Big Chill.
If Thursday's NBA trade deadline was a movie, the audience would have walked out in the middle from boredom. This freeze came straight from the script that is the league's new collective bargaining agreement — with its harsher luxury tax penalties and diminished roster flexibility for tax offenders — it put the clamps on a stunningly uneventful deadline day.
The big names were on the opening credits: Josh Smith, Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Eric Gordon, Eric Bledsoe, Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis.
Yet, when the curtain closed at 3 p.m. ET, Orlando Magic sharpshooter J.J. Redick stole the show as the lone player of significance to switch teams. The Milwaukee Bucks acquired the career 39.8 percent 3-point shooter in a six-player deal that involved five other relatively anonymous NBA names.
Only one potential blockbuster deal percolated, but ultimately died on the vine with the Atlanta Hawks going the distance in an attempt to strike a deal with the Bucks for Smith before pulling back. One reason so few big deals were discussed was simply because there wasn't much talent realistically in play, a point that goes beyond any ramifications of the CBA.
The CBA that took effect in December 2011, and begins to smack tax-paying teams with stiffer fines next season, has clearly put franchises on the defensive. Teams that were once willing to add salary to consummate a deal no longer are. Teams that once didn't think twice about sweetening a deal with a first-round pick, suddenly guard them with their lives.
"Cap room and draft picks, which are usually the currency of how these [big] deals get done, were at a huge premium and are something that everyone wants to have," said Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who steered the most active club at the deadline with a couple of lower-tier deals.
There's really no greater example of the effect of these changes than the Dallas Mavericks and their braintrust, owner Mark Cuban and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson. Chronic and strategic over-spenders and tax payers under the old CBA, Cuban, who took on salary in deadline deals for Jason Kidd in 2008 and Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood and DeShawn Stevenson in 2010, analyzed the new rules and reversed field last year.
He dismantled the 2011 championship team, choosing to covet cap space and the roster flexibility granted to teams that remain under the tax threshold, as well as newfound valuing of first-round draft picks as low-priced labor and trade assets.
It's a strategy that no longer has the Mavs on speed dial of teams looking to make a deal and dump salary.
"It's definitely a factor," Nelson said of the CBA's chilling effect Thursday after the deadline expired. "There's no question that folks have their eye on the inevitable, and there's no question that people are getting their collective houses in order.
"There's some teams that see that on the horizon and act early, and other teams that will procrastinate and pay a dear price. But I think we're right in the middle of that. It's not brand-new news and so, yeah, I think you're going to see a lot of teams try to correct themselves financially."
The so-called "repeater" tax really has teams scared. Several clubs tried to deal away lost-cost players to avoid the repeater tax, which will whack franchises with an additional fine if they go over the tax line in three of four seasons. Golden State was successful in this venture. Chicago was not and will pay a luxury tax for the first time since its implementation.
This "repeater" penalty deterred teams from making deals that would have pushed payroll even slightly over the tax line, deals they might have normally green-lighted in the old days. So, is this the way of the future under the current rules?
"I can't predict the future," Morey said, "but I think the trend is more this way."
Rockets: Morey's stockpiling of assets the last couple years has been questioned, but he's turned it into quite a haul starting with James Harden prior to the start of the season. The day before the deadline, Morey acquired the No. 5 overall pick, Thomas Robinson, from Sacramento. Morey's dealing didn't damage an abundance of cap space next summer that will be used to pursue a top free agent such as Dwight Howard and Josh Smith.
Bucks: GM John Hammond didn't get his big fish in Smith, but he pulled off the deal for Redick, who should really help a club that's been skidding down the East standings and needs a boost. Hammond held onto Jennings and Ellis and will have room to maneuver in the summer to add more pieces.
Thunder: GM Sam Presti continues to make shrewd moves. The acquisition of Ronnie Brewer from the New York Knicks for a second-round pick gives OKC another strong perimeter defender to help Thabo Sefolosha.
Celtics: Jordan Crawford might not be Jamal Crawford, but he can score in bunches and Boston was desperate to bolster its injury-ravaged guard backcourt. Boston fans are the winners here, too, with the team's heart and soul, Garnett and Pierce, staying put.
Mavericks: Sure, on the surface, picking up 3-point specialist Anthony Morrow for defensive-minded guard Dahntay Jones doesn't sound like much. But then SheridanHoops.com reminded us of this Dwight Howard interview in Russia when he named Morrow as one of a handful of players he'd like to have as a teammate.
Blazers: The team with the leanest bench in the NBA finally got some help in a minor deal that netted OKC guard Eric Maynor, who lost his job early on to Reggie Jackson. Maynor will help Rookie of the Year frontrunner Damian Lillard reduce his 38.5 mpg workload.
Hawks: They didn't get the deal done to ship out Smith and now it seems they will lose him for nothing in free agency. On one level, however, it's hard to say that this is a definitive loss. They'll keep Smith (who might or might not come away from this experience deflated) for the rest of the season, and, with any luck, try to keep him while recruiting friend and fellow Atlantan Howard next summer. If GM Danny Ferry wasn't pleased with the deals presented, it doesn't always pay to take something, anything just because in the end you could be left with nothing. If Smith leaves, the Hawks will take the cap space and look to spin it in their favor.
Magic: They deal away a useful player and one they drafted in Redick and hand over his Bird Rights to the Bucks. There was no guarantee that Redick would re-sign with Orlando, but he at least had said the door was open to a return. The Magic's Josh McRoberts to Charlotte deal for Hakim Warrick is a head-scratcher.
Knicks: They didn't upgrade at any position and gave away a solid defender in Brewer, who was starting for the club during their hot start out of the gates, but had slipped out of the rotation. New York did use the roster vacancy to sign veteran power forward Kenyon Martin.
Nets: They failed to land another high-priced player in Smith and failed to unload one of their own, Kris Humphries.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - The Bulldogs finished their first competition of the season in fine form Saturday morning, taking eight of the top twelve places at the Fairfield Invitational. Running much of the race as a pack, the Yale squad dominated over the 8,000-meter course. The senior duo of Yale's Murat Kayali and John Hinkle came out in front, both finishing in a time of 25:13 with Kayali taking first at the line. Continuing the Bulldog sweep was freshman Julian Sheinbaum, who finished third in his collegiate debut with a time of 25:34. The team score was an impressive 20 points, with Fordham taking a distant second with 72 points. Yale's average time was 25:35, nearly an entire minute faster than Fordham's average.
Rounding out the scoring five were sophomore Max Walden in seventh place, (26:04) and junior Max Brown in ninth place (26:07).
Following right behind to take spots ten through twelve was another pack of Bulldogs, composed of freshman Jake McKenzie (26:11) and sophomores Peter Vizcarrondo (26:16) and James Wyper (26:20).
"I was very pleased with the effort out there today," the men's head coach Dan Ireland commented.
The result was particularly impressive, Coach Ireland explained, considering Yale ran without four of their top five runners from last year's team, who chose to forgo racing and instead train in preparation for the upcoming season.
Up next for the Bulldogs is the annual Harvard-Yale dual meet, to be held at the Yale Golf Course on the afternoon of Saturday, September 27. This will be the Bulldogs' first Ivy League competition of the season, and their only home cross-country meet for 2008. With the full Yale squad toeing the line in two weeks, it promises to be an exciting meet.

Earlier today, Pejman Yousefzadeh posted this YouTube video at RedState, under the title, "You can't kill us all." It's an excerpt from a speech Ronald Reagan delivered to the British Parliament at the time of the Falklands crisis. It seems, really, like a relic of another world, but it wasn't so long ago. And it is timely today in the context of the U.K.'s effort to figure out what to do about the kidnapping of its sailors and marines. As if that were a puzzle.

text: Almost-Daily Diary http://www.chainreactionblogs.com/diary Ride reports & bike news from Chain Reaction's Mike J Wed May 22 18:27:43 2019 / +0000 GMT Universal Post Manager 1.1.2 [ www.ProfProjects.com ] Mixed feelings about 4.5 * Yelp rating http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/?p=5089 Wed May 22 18:27:43 2019 / +0000 GMT http://chainreactionblogs.com/diary/?p=5089 I should be thrilled that our Los Altos store has achieved a 4.5 Star rating on Yelp. And I am! It's a great indication that we're doing a few things right. But I've got more than a few mixed feelings about Yelp. And not just because we're "only" at 4 Stars in Redwood City. A success story On one hand, it's a great window into what people think, and it keeps you on your toes. At its best, it's a two-way street, where you can respond to reviews and they respond back. Sometimes you can fix misunderstandings, sometimes you can make things right where you screwed up. I feel really good about that. Believe it or not, I want happy customers. Why a select few think otherwise has been the cause of more than a few sleepless nights over the years. An (un)deserved rant? But eventually you discover that some people that have it in for you, no matter what. Like the one on the right. I did my personal best for him, even exploiting my connection with Keith Bontrager to make sure the information I gave was accurate and relevant. Did not matter. Thankfully it was so over-the-top that I couldn't really feel all that bad about it. The biggest flaw in Yelp's review process is that they allow for one-way communication, where someone can vent and you have no opportunity to correspond with them. The "cloak of anonymity" thing that removes credibility from much of the modern world. You can hit & run on a competitor (I've seen this first-hand) or trash a business just because you needed a lawnmower part and were annoyed (and didn't believe) that a bicycle shop didn't have it. In my perfect world, when someone trashes a business and the business responds, Yelp should require that the reviewer respond to that business (a response that can remain anonymous) or else the review is removed. There should simply be some sense of accountability. Without that, you actually get people demanding better deals in the store or else threaten to post a Yelp review trashing us. And stores taking advantage by offering deals to people in exchange for high ratings, a practice that you can actually find referenced in some reviews. We don't ask for reviews (which is probably dumb, because if you do ask for reviews from good customers, you're likely to bolster your ratings... but I just feel funny about it) and we actually fired an employee who posted a fake positive review for our store. Seriously. That wasn't the only thing he did, but it was way up on the list. And finally there's Yelp's own business practices. We signed up for a 6-month campaign, $315/store/month, where you essentially buy a higher placing when someone's looking for bike shops, and you get a high-rated review moved up to the top. Bad reviews aren't eliminated, they're just moved down the page. We told the (very aggressive) Yelp rep that we'd just be doing this for the busy season, end it after 6 months, and then perhaps restart again the following year. 6 months went and the billings continued. Phone calls and emails couldn't stop them. I finally had to call the bank to have the payments stopped. Crazy! Could Chain Reaction ever get a 5-Star yelp rating? I don't think so. Could be that I'm just rationalizing, but as long as we try to be inclusive, and take care of as wide a variety of cyclists as practical, we're going to have situations where we're not the ultimate source for, say, fixie parts, or cotter pins for that 34-year-old Firenze in the basement. Our location in Redwood City has a broader range of demographics than most, giving us a much wider clientele than the typical shop gets to deal with. That appeals to my sense of egalitarianism, but gets in the way of becoming a super-specialty-retailer that can give white-glove treatment to everyone coming in the door. Am I trying to rationalize? You bet. But I think I have solid ground to do so. I think, on balance, Chain Reaction has more heart than most. I think my staff does an awesome job. And when we fail, we feel badly, and work to make things right. Hopefully that comes out in my Yelp responses. In the end, I think consumer review sites like Yelp are a good thing. You get a sense of what the shop's like, reading both the review and, if it's there, the reply from the business. I'm just not a fan of the complete anonymity and lack of accountability, which, as I mentioned earlier, could be easily fixed by simply requiring a dialog between reviewer and the business. A dialog that could remain anonymous! But a dialog nevertheless. In my perfect world, of course. --Mike--]]> 5089 2013-03-20 18:51:44 2013-03-21 01:51:44

A proposed new law in Arizona would give employers the power to require women being prescribed birth control pills provide proof that they're using it for non-sexual reasons. Imagine getting fired for using birth control pills.
According to the statepress.com:
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-2 Monday to endorse a controversial bill that would allow Arizona employers the right to deny health insurance coverage for contraceptives based on religious objections.
Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.
… "My whole legislation is about our First Amendment rights and freedom of religion," Lesko said. "All my bill does is that an employer can opt out of the mandate if they have any religious objections.
And because Arizona's an at-will employment state, Jezebel.com points out, that means that bosses critical of their female employees' sex lives could fire them as a result.
It's all about freedom, (Lasko) said, echoing everyone who thinks there's nothing ironic about claiming that a country that's "free" allows people's bosses to dictate what medical care is available to them through insurance. First amendment. The constitution. Rights of religious people to practice the treasured tenets of their faiths, the tenets that dictate that religious people get to tell everyone who is not of faith how they're supposed to live, and the freedom to have that faith enforced by law. Freedom®.
The funniest part of this incredible story is that lawmaker Lesko says the bill is necessary because "we live in America; we don't live in the Soviet Union."
What is in the water out there in Arizona?

It's pretty easy to mix up Christmas and Halloween.
Well, not really, even with all the sexy Santa costumes. But Miley Cyrus got her wires crossed on Wednesday when she stepped out in a pair of striped pants that looked like they were ripped straight from "Beetlejuice."
The engaged 20-year-old was out with her fiance, Liam Hemsworth, in Palm Springs at a "family gathering." Miley's idea of a family-friendly outfit are certainly intriguing, from the bold pants to the aggressively chunky Doc Marten-esque boots. But when you've got the body for tight striped bottoms, flaunt it, right?
See some pics below. Are you a fan of Miley's jailbird look or should pants like these be reserved for Halloween?

A recent Associated Press article about Indiana's new law requiring everyone, regardless of age, to show a photo identification when buying carryout alcohol included good news and bad news.
The good news is AP quoted several Indiana legislators who say they are ready to revamp the law, which took effect July 1.
Legislators and liquor store workers told the AP they've heard many complaints.
"Everybody thought it was the stupidest thing they ever heard," said Connie Evans-Jenkins, an employee of Pete's Liquor Bucket in Merrillville. "They were mean. They called us names."
We have heard of out-of-state visitors to Perry County this summer who also thought a law requiring people with white hair and wrinkles to be carded was stupid.
It is often hard to get legislators to admit they were wrong about any bill, especially so soon after they passed it. So they deserve credit for saying they are willing to alter the law in the next session of the General Assembly.
Sen. Jim Merritt of Indianapolis told the AP he would propose changing the law to have clerks check the ages of customers who appear younger than 40. Rep. Chet Dobis said that could be pushed to an even younger age.
The troubling news is about how the universal ID requirement, which was part of a larger bill covering Indiana's liquor laws, was passed.
Rep. Charles Brown, one of those who said he is in favor of changing the requirement, told the (Gary) Post-Tribune that he "had no idea" the measure was included when he voted in favor of the bill.
We realize many bills are complex and some contain hundreds of pages. But any legislator who does not have time to read a complete bill before voting on it should have one of his aides do so and brief him on every measure included in it — especially those that might be controversial.
We hope Brown's admission that he did not know what he was voting for will be a wake-up call for legislators to do that. We also hope it might encourage legislators to submit shorter bills that can be easily understood by all their fellow lawmakers.

Caterpillars Remember - Creation Moments
Matthew 6:19: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal."
The metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a moth or butterfly completely restructures the creature internally and externally. Scientists at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. wondered whether that included the caterpillar's brain as well.
To find out, they placed tobacco hornworm caterpillars inside a hollow tube shaped like a Y. Scientists then put a bad-smelling gas in one of the arms of the Y. When a caterpillar went down that arm of the tube it received a mild shock. Since the caterpillars go through several molts, researchers performed the experiment on caterpillars at various stages of their moltings.
They found that caterpillars that underwent the experience before their fifth and final molt did not remember their experience with the gas after metamorphosis. However, 77 percent of those caterpillars that encountered the gas and experienced a shock after their final molt remembered their dislike of the gas after metamorphosis. Scientists point out that caterpillars, moths and butterflies are not social creatures. This means they have more need for memory because there is no division of labor among them.
Just because the Bible associates moths with decay doesn't mean that God didn't provide them with all they need to live successful lives. To God, no creature is unimportant.

WEST HAVEN, Conn. - Freshman Derek Brown went 3-for-3 with a walk in a 5-2 victory over Sacred Heart Wednesday. The combined efforts of five different Yale pitchers held the Pioneers to just four hits, striking out ten.
In the first inning, Yale took a two run lead and never looked back. Brown, batting in the leadoff slot, walked to open the inning. Cale Hanson, who also had three hits on the day, doubled in Brown. Robert Baldwin knocked in Hanson to take the early 2-0 lead.
In the third inning, Brown started another rally, singling and advancing to second on an error. Hanson dropped down a bunt single, setting the table for Baldwin once again. Baldwin singled to right field to extend the lead to 3-0.
Starter Green Campbell was incredibly effective, throwing five shutout innings on just one hit. Campbell stuck out six and walked one en route to his first win of the year.
Michael Coleman, Chasen Ford, Chris Moates, and Hanson each added an inning of work. Ford was the only one of the four to allow a run.
In the seventh, Sacred Heart put up two runs on two hits. Just one of those runs was charged to Ford, as a passed ball was the cause of one.
In the bottom of the seventh, Yale answered. Once again, Brown kickstarted the inning with a single. Hanson bunted for a hit again as well, putting men on base in time for a two-RBI double from pinch-hitter Richard Slenker.
Moates and Hanson shut down batters in the eighth and ninth innings, ending the game at 5-2. Hanson recorded his fourth save on the season.
Yale plays next against Harvard in a four-game weekend series with major playoff implications. Yale holds a one game lead in the Red Rolfe Division over Dartmouth.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - American automakers on Thursday pushed for rules against currency manipulation to be included in an ambitious trade pact being negotiated between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim countries.
The American Automotive Policy Council, which represents Chrysler, Ford (F.N) and General Motors (GM.N), said participating nations should commit to not manipulating their exchange rates to gain an unfair competitive advantage.
U.S. automakers worry that Japanese competitors may gain an edge in the American market, especially if existing trade restrictions are loosened under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which negotiators hope to finalize in coming months.
"Even the most promising trade pacts can be undermined by currency manipulation," Matt Blunt, president of the council, told reporters on a conference call. "The final TPP agreement must include strong and enforceable currency disciplines that allow markets and not government intervention to set exchange rates."
The council's proposal would require TPP countries to be transparent with information that includes their foreign exchange holdings and interventions to purchase foreign assets.
If a TPP member is found breaching the currency rules, the automakers' proposal would allow member countries to suspend the tariff benefits of the offending country for at least a year.
The group said its proposal would not impede any TPP country from having an independent monetary policy, and would not prevent central banks from pursuing the bond-buying stimulus programs that have been employed in the United States and Japan. Those programs have been criticized from some quarters for weakening currencies.
Countries negotiating the TPP include Mexico, Chile, Canada, Australia and Malaysia, along with Japan and the United States. A final deal would establish a free-trade bloc stretching across a region that makes up nearly 40 percent of the global economy and is populated by about 800 million people.
The new demands add further challenges to the massive trade deal that the Obama administration had aimed to finalize before the end of last year.
Some legislators, including Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, have said they would reject a TPP deal that did not include a currency manipulation clause.
TPP negotiators failed to reach an agreement after a four-day meeting in Singapore in December, remaining grid locked over issues like intellectual property, agricultural tariffs and state-owned enterprises.
The Obama administration has also sought Trade Promotion Authority to allow it to speed up trade deals through Congress. Details of a bill to give the White House such fast-tracking power, seen as crucial to the success of the TPP talks, are due to be announced later on Thursday and are also expected to include a section on currency manipulation.

Pavel Datsyuk wants to stay in Detroit
Pavel Datsyuk wants to sign a new contract with the Detroit Red Wings, and the only NHL team he's ever played for wants the same thing.
Veteran scorer's current deal has 1 year left
Pavel Datsyuk says he hopes to sign a new deal with the Detroit Red Wings this summer.
Datsyuk spoke with reporters at Joe Louis Arena on Friday, two days after Detroit was eliminated by a 2-1 overtime loss to Chicago Blackhawks in Game 7 of their second-round series.
The Russian star has one year left on his seven-year contract.
Red Wings general manager Ken Holland wants to sign Datsyuk to another deal as early as July 5.
Datsyuk led Detroit with 15 goals and 49 points in the 48-game, lockout-shortened season. He tied for third on the team with nine points in the post-season.
He helped the franchise win the Stanley Cup as a rookie in 2002 and again in 2008.

It is possible that the main title of the report Aspergillosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused by Aspergillus, a species of mold that is found all over the world. More than 300 different types of Aspergillus have been identified and more are continuing to be identified. Most of these molds are harmless, however, some types can cause a variety of diseases in humans ranging from simple allergic reactions to life-threatening invasive disease. Collectively, this group of diseases is referred to as aspergillosis and is broadly broken down into three categories - allergic, chronic and invasive. Four main clinical types of aspergillosis are usually identified - allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, invasive aspergillosis, and chronic necrotizing aspergillosis. Aspergillosis rarely develops in healthy individuals; it is much more likely to develop in individuals with asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabetes mellitus, and lung disease or in individuals who have a weakened immune system, who take corticosteroid drugs or who have had a bone marrow or organ transplant. In most cases, aspergillosis develops when susceptible individuals breathe in (inhale) Aspergillus spores.

May 17, 2005
Santa Barbara, Calif. - The class of former UC Santa Barbara men's soccer players who are currently playing professionally continued to excel in their respective leagues last week. UCSB will also be well represented on the international scene as well in the coming weeks, starting current Gaucho Tyler Rosenlund's appearance with the Canadian Youth National Team (under 20's) tomorrow night against the United States in Blaine, Minnesota. While former All-American defender Tony Lochhead is slated to start for New Zealand's National Team next month against Australia in an international friendly in London.
Making the most news last week were former UCSB All-American standouts Dan Kennedy and Drew McAthy who helped lead their Puerto Rico Islanders squad to a weekend sweep of the Rochester Raging Rhinos, lifting the squad to the middle of the USL First Division table with seven points after five matches. Kennedy posted the first shutout of his professional career in Friday's 1-0 affair, earning USL Team of the Week honors in the process, and is currently third in the league with 26 saves on the season. Both Kennedy and McAthy have appeared in all five of Puerto Rico's matches this season.
Also in the USL First Division (formerly the A League) ranks is former All-American and national assists champion Memo Arzate with the Portland Timbers. After spending much of last season rehabilitating an injury, Arzate dished out the first assist of his professional career three weeks ago against Toronto for the undefeated Timbers. The one assist ties him for fifth in the league with some teams having played as mush as eight matches.
Most notable thus far this professional season has been former Gaucho Thiago Martins who is just one of six players to have started all seven matches Major League Soccer expansion side Chivas USA. Having scored Chivas' first-ever goal in week two of the season at San Jose, Martins is tied for the team lead with two goals on the season. He also leads the Goats in shots (13), shots on goal (6), and fouls committed (21).
On the European side, UCSB's first-ever All-American, Canadian International Rob Friend, netted a late game-winning goal for Molde of the Norwegian Premier League (Tippeliga) to spark a three-game unbeaten streak. After struggling out of the gate it was Friend's tally that secured Molde's first win of the season.
Across the North Sea and Scotland from Friend is former Gaucho and LA Galaxy draftee David McGill who has helped his hometown side Dublin City FC to the top of Ireland's eircom First Division table. McGill, along with former UCSB teammate Alan Keely, are currently riding a ten-game unbeaten streak to start season, giving the Vikings a great push in returning to the Premier Division next season.
Having missed the January transfer window used by most European professional leagues rehabilitating an injury sustained while on trial with Sporting Anderlecht of the Belgium Premier League, Lochhead, also an All-American at UCSB, is expected to sign with a top level squad in Northern Europe following his appearance with the All Whites in London on June 9th. Also originally called into camp for the All Whites was former standout forward Neil Jones, who would have been making is second showing with the full national team. However, Jones is still recovering from a fracture in his leg that he sustained while on trail in Norway. Currently Jones is playing for a semi-pro club in New Zealand to regain his fitness level where he has netted eleven goals in nine games.
Shortly after Lochhead's match with the All White's is played, Rosenlund, a Freshman All-American who will be returning next season for the Gauchos, and the rest of Canada's under-20 National Team will be taking part in the FIFA World Youth Championship beginning on June 12th in Holland. Tomorrow's friendly match with the U.S., the other automatic qualifier out of CONCACAF, will be a good competition to prepare both sides for the tournament. Canada will open Group E play with Syria before facing Columbia and Italy.

What if you had a party and no one got invited? That's what we at the Aloha Skin Spa Tahoe discovered the day before our big Christmas bash! Our entire database had been wiped out, and everyone we thought we'd invited weeks ago had not heard a thing.
We hopped on the phone and called. We posted the event on Facebook. We hoped people would see the notice in the Bonanza. Mostly, we panicked.
But here you were, Incline. Once again this little town with the biggest heart in the world came through for us. The party was undeniably fabulous in quantity and quality of our guests. To all of you who brought your beautiful energy to our night, we love you and we thank you.
P.S. Thanks also to Matthew Gelber of the Tahoe Medical Spa whose email blast surely saved the day.

Phillip Parnell Photography
Photography is what I do, photography is what I am, photography is WHO I am! I can't seem to leave the house without looking at everything I see and wonder what it would look like from the other side of my lens. But it's not JUST the basic concept of, 'photography' that fascinates me. It's the free and endless world of fairy tale and fantasy (so to speak) that it allows me create and become a part of. Wedding photography is what I specialise in. Some don't like the pressure but it is where I thrive. Being a Birmingham based Photographer has by no means thawed my business reach. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing and inspirational photographers and models alike from all over. One thing I have learnt is that in the absence of a camera, these people, (well, most of them) are completely normal and everyday characters. But when the camera starts snapping, something else comes alive. A creative 'x factor' if you like, that enables some of the best photography to be born starts to manifest. I've come to realise that this phenomenon is nothing at all mystical. Simply put, photography on a whole is a an extension of a models/photographers character and personality. An extension that could well never have been seen in most other normal walks of daily life. The resulting final images created, is the by-product. A pretty satisfying by product! From the very first stage, where that shutter closes, to the very end when the final touches of colour are adjusted… each and every photograph I take has embarked on a journey of creation and bloom to become something alive where quite literally, there was once nothing. Just as an artist would paint their canvas, or a musician composes a symphony – so I will create my own works of art through digital imagery. My wish now, is to share my pieces of art with the world… but more specifically, with you.

text: Hi there, I've had Bind9 running on a Ubuntu 10.10 server for the past few weeks, and today I went to use the " match-clients " like follows: Code: acl internals { 10.0.0.0/24; }; view "internal" { match-clients { internals; }; zone "domain.com" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/domain.com.db"; }; }; When I use the " Match-clients " I'm unable to start the service. " could not access pid file ". If I then remove the " match-clients " section, everything works normally. I've looked around quite a bit, and haven't found out why it's doing this. Any help would be appreciated! So thank you in advance Josh

Three '07s Protected by USHL Clubs
Three players drafted by the Lightning last month have been placed on protected lists for USHL clubs.
Sunday, July 1 was a USA Hockey roster cut down date and USHL teams, which had been carrying 30-man active rosters at the time, had to cut down to 25 players. USHL teams will be allowed to carry 25 players until the final reduction date of September 30 when they have to drop down to their 23-man active roster.
Lightning draftees protected by USHL teams include:
Luca Cunti -- Chicago Steel
Cunti, a 3rd round pick of the Lightning, is still considering which college hockey program to attend next year. At last word, he was choosing between St. Cloud State and Clarkson. Cunti was passed over in the CHL Import Draft, so the option of going to Canada for juniors is no longer available. Cunti could indeed play in the USHL next season, then turn pro or go to college. Chicago added Cunti to their protected list after the USHL draft in May. They finished last in the East Division last season.
Alexander Killorn -- Omaha Lancers
Killorn, also a 3rd round pick of the Lightning, was protected by Omaha, who drafted the center in the 11th round of the 2007 USHL draft. Killorn, who has verbally committed to Harvard University for the 2008 season, has previously stated he will remain at Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts until he attends Harvard. Omaha won the West Division last season.
Matt Marshall -- Waterloo Black Hawks
Marshall, a 5th round pick of the Lightning, was protected by Waterloo, who won the East Division last year in the USHL. Waterloo selected Marshall in the 8th round of May's USHL draft, however, all indications from Marshall are he will remain playing high school hockey at Noble and Greenough School in Dedham, Massachusetts until he attends the University of Vermont in 2008.

Obama golfs with childhood buddies in California
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — It's a day of golf in Southern California for President Barack Obama while the nation's capital recovers from this week's snowfall.
The White House says Obama teed off Saturday at the nine-hole course at the Sunnylands retreat in Rancho Mirage with childhood friends Bobby Titcomb, Greg Orme and Michael Ramos.
Saturday evening, the president visited the Rancho Mirage home of interior designer Michael Smith. He helped redecorate the Oval Office and the private residence quarters in the White House.
Obama is spending the weekend at the estate. Sunnylands was the winter home of the late billionaire philanthropists Walter and Leonore Annenberg.
Obama is scheduled to return to the White House on Monday.
Meanwhile, his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha, are enjoying a ski weekend in Aspen, Colo.

Former Liverpool youngster Amoo had his one-year contract at Deepdale terminated by mutual consent on Wednesday after making nine starts and 15 substitute appearances for Graham Westley's men, and the npower League One leaders moved quickly to secure the 21-year-old for the rest of the season.

"He's got fantastic pace, he can beat players and he can score goals too. He can play out wide or up front and he gives us extra attacking options.

Amoo added: "I'm happy to be here, it's a fantastic opportunity for me.
"I want to prove myself. The club is doing well and I want to help in the push for promotion."
