One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Julia: The Pudding Pop
Next up is 21 year old Julia Landauer. 21? Why is this cast so young? I'm not one of those people who needs 60 year olds traipsing about around camp, but enough with the under 25 crowd! 30 somethings are naturally more interesting. They've accomplished more, they're a little wiser, they're still sexy... The last thing I want to see is a bunch of Angie's wandering around bumping into trees and daydreaming about sweets. My apologies to Julia for hijacking her write-up with a rant as I haven't even seen her bio or video yet. Perhaps she is a wise and mature 21 year old. Let's find out.
Ok so Julia is a race car driver from Stanford, CA. Her inspiration in life is Paul Newman because he lived his life passionately and was a true gentleman. Hmm. Maybe she is a mature 21 year old. Maybe Julia will prove my ageist rant as unfounded and unfairly judgmental.
Julia's pet peeve is slow drivers in the left lane which, if you think about it, totally makes sense. Not because she's a race car driver, but because slow drivers in the left lane deserve their own ring of hell where they are forced to drive behind an old lady in a Rascal for all of eternity.
Alright, let's get to the video. I hope to God you're interesting, Julia. I'm desperate for someone exciting. Please to enjoy:
While she's not an immature fop, she's a thumping bore. I'm predicting this one gets the Jell-O Pop (Carter) edit. She'll flit by here and there, but we'll never get to know her. We'll confuse her with other brunettes and when her elimination episode airs where she finally gets some airtime, we'll wonder where the hell she came from. Being overly cautious may serve her well as far as lasting to the Merge, but it won't serve her well as far as entertaining me and giving me some material to work with.
Look, I hope I'm wrong. I hope I'm wrong about each and every one of these people. I hope they trot out and knock me over with their resounding wit and duplicitous gameplay. I hope I'm eating my words at the end of episode 3 as I sit here awestruck by the awesomeness of all of these super young newbies. But, let's face it, I think we've got a genuine All Stars season to look forward to. With Phillip Sheppard and Cochran milling about, we'll never get to know any of these newbies. Too bad, so sad.
So, what do we think of Julia? Is she too serious and level-headed? Can she possibly form alliances with the other vapid windbags on her tribe? Comment it out.

I really hope it's not another boring season. I really liked the last one and I hope this one does not disappoint. At least we have Malcolm again to entertain us!ReplyDelete
Any clue as to who the god squad will be this season?ReplyDelete
God-squad? I assume anyone hanging out with Lil Hantz.ReplyDelete

Lake Serene is in a small basin at the foot of the three rocky peaks of Mount Index. It's a 7.2 mile round trip hike and 2,000 feet of elevation gain, with most of the gain in the last 1.5 miles just before the lake. It's a popular hike since it's easily accessible from the Seattle area and the trailhead is barely a half mile off Highway 2, just a couple of miles before the hamlet of Index. It's a beautiful place for a picnic and while the water is ice cold, it doesn't prevent many of the hikers from plunging in. A hazy sky obscures some of the detail of the north facing peaks. The North Peak of Index is on the right skyline. I climbed the North Peak and bivouaced on the summit in 1968.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

The president of a cancer charity founded by Lance Armstrong insists that the organization will persevere in the wake of the cyclist's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
CHICAGO (AP) ? The president of a cancer charity founded by Lance Armstrong insists that the organization will persevere in the wake of the cyclist's admission that he used performance-enhancing drugs.
The Livestrong Foundation's president, Doug Ulman, was scheduled to deliver what the organization described as a "major 'State of the Foundation' speech" on Thursday in Chicago.
"Our success has never been based on one person," Ulman said in remarks prepared for the annual gathering of Livestrong charity leaders, grantees and others. "Will the Livestrong Foundation survive? Yes. Absolutely, yes. Hell, yes."
Armstrong stepped down as chairman of the charity in October, saying he didn't want his association to damage the foundation's ability to raise money and continue its advocacy programs on behalf of people with cancer.
Originally called the Lance Armstrong Foundation, the cyclist created the organization in Austin, Texas, a year after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. Doctors gave him 50-50 odds of surviving.
Armstrong admitted during an interview with Oprah Winfrey this year that he used performance-enhancing drugs when he won seven straight Tour de France titles. He told Winfrey that leaving Livestrong was the most "humbling" experience after the revelations about his drug use broke.
"I wouldn't at all say forced out, told to leave," he told Winfrey about Livestrong. "I was aware of the pressure. But it hurt like hell.
"That was the lowest," Armstrong said. "The lowest."
Armstrong's personal fortune had sustained a big hit days earlier. One by one, his sponsors called to end their associations with him: Nike; Trek Bicycles; Giro, which manufactures cycling helmets and other accessories; Anheuser-Busch.
"That was a $75 million day," Armstrong said.
"That just went out of your life," Winfrey said.
"Gone," he replied.

An eggstremely smelly story.
In 1915 Bermondsey was flooded with millions of rotten eggs in an incident that became known as the Bermondsey Bad Egg Boom. After war broke out, the council faced the enormous task of getting rid of more than 25 million of them.
How bad was the smell? The locals described it quite graphically: "I have stood by dead bodies that have been in the water for seven or eight weeks. But I could not stand those eggs." Another visitor to the area remarked that the smell was "bad enough to knock a dog down."
Destroying the eggs presented big problems for the council, which had been using a machine known as a Destructor without success. The liquid from the eggs kept putting the fires out and they proved very resistant to efforts to smash them with shovels and forks and force them down drains.

Virtual worlds such as Second Life can be useful to businesses if they evaluate the risks involved, according to a research note from Gartner.
Gartner analyst Steve Prentice, who recently published an in-depth study on virtual worlds, said virtual worlds can pose problems to security and corporate image, but shouldn't be automatically written off as time-wasting games.
Large companies are beginning to take virtual worlds seriously, with enterprises such as Intel, IBM and Sun setting up virtual offices in Second Life, and using it to hold press conferences and even internal meetings.
Dell uses Second Life to allow customers to build custom PCs and then order the real thing, while US retailer Best Buy uses its Second Life facility to give customers access to troubleshooting experts, and Cisco hosts virtual user-group meetings at its Second Life HQ.
Prentice agreed that companies can get real communications and productivity benefits out of virtual environments, and said companies should keep an open mind when evaluating whether they kill productivity. Such programs can drain staff time during the initial learning curve but there may be benefits further down the line, Prentice said.
Nevertheless, there are serious risks associated with IT security, access management, confidentiality, and corporate reputation, he said.
IT securityLike any internet-connected application, virtual worlds can open up risks of unverified applications making their way onto the network and allowing unwanted code through the firewall, Prentice said.
There's no evidence that virtual worlds pose any more such risk than comparable client applications, but Prentice pointed out that at the moment they're on the receiving end of frequent updates, which can make them difficult to control.
Access managementVirtual environments can be useful for internal collaboration, but open applications such as Second Life are probably inappropriate for this, for the simple reason that it's difficult or impossible to verify whether the avatar showing up for the meeting is actually the person it claims to be, Prentice said.
Instead, Gartner recommended companies look into "private" virtual environments, which can be hosted internally and need not penetrate the firewall.
ConfidentialityEmployees might want to use a virtual environment for a discussion about business matters, but there are several reasons why this could be a problem, especially in open, internet-supported social networking sites or virtual worlds, Gartner said.
Besides the fact that such environments aren't secure, there's the issue that legal systems, especially in the US, are becoming mroe aggressive about demanding access to any electronically stored records, including online conversations.
"Non-US organisations may wish to avoid virtual worlds that are subject to US jurisdiction because this may result in stored information being subject to legal scrutiny," Gartner said in the note.
Alternatives could be private virtual worlds built using tools such as the Torque Game Engine from GarageGames or SUn's Java-based Project Wonderland, or applications such as Forterra Systems' Olive, Prentice said.
Corporate imageFinally, companies with sensitive brand and reputation issues should be cautious about becoming involved in "uncontrolled" virtual environments such as Second Life that could lead to the corporate image becoming sullied.
A similar issue arose earlier this week when the UK government pulled advertising from the social networking site Facebook over concerns that its ads could be appearing in inappropriate places.
The move followed a decision by several companies, including the AA, First Direct, Virgin Media and Vodafone, to pull their advertising from Facebook following reports that their ads were being displayed alongside the official group page for the British National Party.

The five-year grant will be led by John Ryan, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biology in the VCU College of Humanities and Sciences. Ryan and his colleagues will investigate how interleukin-10, IL-10, controls mast cell homeostasis.
IL-10 is a type of signaling protein known for its anti-inflammatory effects. Mast cells, which are known to play a central role in asthma and allergy, are packed with granules containing histamine and are found in nearly all tissues, with the exception of blood. Inflammatory substances such as histamine, heparin and a number of cytokines are rapidly released into tissues and blood when a mast cell is activated. This results in an allergic response.
"This project is helping us understand how mast cells, the causative agent of allergic disease and asthma, are naturally regulated," said Ryan.
"Our data suggest that factors produced by other white blood cells, especially the cytokine IL-10, function as feedback regulators to prevent mast cell-mediated inflammation from becoming chronic. We have recently found that genetic background can alter responsiveness to this feedback regulation, which could predispose individuals to chronic allergic diseases like asthma."
Earlier this year, Ryan received a $1.8 million NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases grant for another project investigating the molecular interaction of two enzymes and their involvement in inflammation. This project is designed to understand how the production of autoantibodies leads to arthritis.
"We are specifically interested in how two enzymes, tyrosine kinases called Fyn and Lyn, appear to be activated inside immune cells," Ryan said. "We believe that these two enzymes are an antagonistic pair, with Fyn promoting and Lyn antagonizing the onset of arthritis."
Understanding this pathway could lead to the design of new therapies for rheumatoid arthritis, he said. The project is also five years.

All around the world, massive knockers command attention.
This is in Japanese, so we can't tell you exactly what's going on, but there are bust-size measurements, individual boobs weighed on scales, and lots and lots of close-ups. Really, you don't even need the sound.
And it all happens in that inimitable Japanese TV-show style, with the graphics and the strange music and, shall we say, unique cinematography. But they sure do know how to keep the focus on the thing that's most important. Or, in this case, the two things.

|Tombstone of Georgie Nowell 1882-1890
Buried in cornfield in south central Nebraska is a child named Georgie Nowell. The stone marking the place of burial is almost three feet high and for generations has been left untouched in the cornfield. Year after year, the farmers have disced, planted, mowed and harvested around it. The grave is located on a farm south of Hershey in Lincoln Co., Nebraska. Dates on the tombstone are 21 April 1882-24 July 1890 with "Rest sweet child in peace" at the bottom.
Fred and Emma Nowell were in the county in 1880 when they are shown as being enumerated at O'Fallons, Lincoln County. Fred was 24, born in New Hampshire and a stock grower. Emma was 23, born in Massachusetts, keeping house. There were two boarders living with them. Eventually the township where they lived in Lincoln County was named Nowell Township. Today very few people realize it was named after the Nowell family.
Looking for vital records on the couple, I was able to determine that Frederic D. Nowell married Emma Augusta Basford on 15 January 1880 in Boston. He was born in Portsmouth, Rockingham Co. New Hampshire, son of Thomas and Lydia Nowell and a stock raiser. Their marriage was also recorded in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
Fred Nowell obtained land under the Homestead Act. In July 1880, he settled on the land and on 31 May 1881 made application for the land. It was the South 1/2 of the Northwest 1/4 and Lots 3 through 4, Section 4, Township 13 North, Range 32 West, 165 acres. He obtained proof on the land on 5 June 1886 and received his final certificate on 9 June 1886.
He built a stone house with a board and sod roof 35 feet by 15 feet, with an addition 18 feet by 24 feet. There was a stable, shed, corral, granary, wells, fencing and he planted trees. The papers in his Homestead file indicate that he was absent from the property for five months due to the sickness of his wife and three children. They moved to North Platte and he accompanied them, but visited the property several times in that time period.
Because of the loss of census enumerations between 1880 and 1900, we can only rely on information from the 1900 US Census where Frederic D. Nowell and family are in Juneau, Alaska Territory, living on Third Street. Fred is shown as coming to Alaska in 1890 from Boston, Massachusetts. He was born in July of 1855 in New Hampshire. His occupation was stockman and mining. Emma B. was born in Massachusetts in September 1861. The children were Ethel who was 11 years old, born in July 1888 in Nebraska and Marion (daughter), 8, born November 1891 in Massachusetts. From this information it appears the Nowell family left Nebraska and returned to Massachusetts sometime before 1892 when another daughter was born.
Records of the United States Patent Office for patent No. 763,572, application dated 26 February 1903 and patent dated 28 June 1904 show that Danivill W. Starrett of Oakland, California was the assignor of three-fourths to Frederick D. Nowell, Juneau, Alaska Territory. The patent was for a water-wheel governor, which was used in mining to maintain a constant rate of speed irrespective of the variations of the load.
The Nowell family left Alaska before 1910 when they are shown living in the 24th Ward of Boston, Massachusetts in "The Peabody" on Ashmont Street. Frederick is shown with his own income. His wife, Emma, is shown as having had six children with only four living. The others in the household, all single are Florence E., 29, b. MA, Frederick D. Jr.. 25 b. NE, Ethel P., 21, b. NE, Marian 18 single b. MA and nephew Ames, 17 b. MA.
By 1920 the Nowell family had left Alaska and were living in Berkeley, California. Frederick D. Nowell, as head of the household, was renting and was a mining engineer. In his household was his wife Emma B., son Frederick D. Nowell, Jr., age 35, single, born in Nebraska, a secretary. His daughter Ethel Nowell was 31, single and an artist.
Alumni records of Harvard University indicate that Frederick Drown Nowell, Jr. graduated 1908-1909 and was living at 2814 Derby St. in Berkeley, California. The World War I Draft Registration provides more information on Frederick Drown Nowell, Jr. He was living at 924 N. Curtis in Alhambra, California and working as an account for Ventura Refining Company. He was born 26 December 1884 and his mother is shown as a contact person. The registration form was filed in Los Angeles County on 12 September 1918.
|Nowell residence in 1930
The 1930 US Census shows the Nowell family living at 478 Vernon in Oakland, California. They were renting for $65 a month. Frederick is shown as the operator of a mine. Florence E. was 49, single an a teacher in the public schools. Frederick Jr. was 45 and a sales manager. He was also single. Living in the household was Frederick Sr.'s son in law, George F. Ware, director of a crude oil company and his daughter Alexine B. about 4 1/2 years of age. George's wife, Marian, was deceased by 1930. By the time the 1940 US Census was taken George F. Ware had married his late wife's sister, Florence.
From all indications, the Nowell family remained on the west coast. The only visible trace of their time spent here in Nebraska is the tombstone of their first born son, Georgie.

California Department of Transportation
September 10, 2010
District 1 - Eureka
Julie East
(707) 441-3998
Eureka – Caltrans today celebrated the opening of the new Roger M. Rodoni Memorial Interchange at the junction of State Route 36 and U.S. Route 101 in Alton. The $14.5 million project was completed one year ahead of schedule and was entirely funded by Proposition 1B, a $19.9 billion transportation bond championed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and approved by voters in 2006.
The new interchange was named in honor of former Humboldt County Supervisor Roger M. Rodoni, a strong supporter of transportation improvements in the North Coast for many years. Mr. Rodoni, who was born in Scotia in 1940, passed away in 2008. The new interchange will help reduce collisions, make it easier for vehicles to merge, and reduce waiting time for turning. The interchange combines ramps, local road extensions, and a grade separation to provide a transportation facility constructed to current standards.
Caltrans, the Humboldt County Association of Governments, and the Federal Highway Administration worked together to plan the interchange near the communities of Fortuna, Rio Dell, and Hydesville.
"Caltrans is proud of this interchange project, which will make the roadway safer for North Coast residents and visitors alike. We also appreciate this opportunity to recognize Supervisor Roger Rodoni for his professional and personal achievements," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim.
To date, nearly $6 billion in Proposition 1B funding has been allocated by the California Transportation Commission and Caltrans.

WINNSBORO, S.C. — Republican presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney engaged in a harsh volley of attacks Wednesday, with Gingrich predicting an "unendingly dirty and dishonest" end to his rival's campaign and Romney mocking Gingrich's claim of helping to create millions of jobs.
Romney said Gingrich's boast was like "Al Gore taking credit for the Internet."
Gingrich said: "I fully expect the Romney campaign to be unendingly dirty and dishonest for the next four days because they are desperate."
The increasingly bitter and personal tone between the two candidates suggested that Romney sees the former House speaker a rising threat to his front-runner's status in Saturday's South Carolina primary while Gingrich is scrambling to capitalize on his momentum after a fiery debate performance Monday night.
Romney's strategy has been to leave his rivals to fight among themselves while he behaves like the nominee and focuses his rhetoric on Democratic President Barack Obama's record.
But on Wednesday, Romney shifted to Gingrich, arguing that he had overstated his role in helping President Ronald Reagan create millions of jobs.
"He'd been in Congress two years, when Ronald Reagan came to office," Romney said during an appearance at Wofford College in Spartanburg. "That would be like saying 435 congressmen were all responsible for those jobs."
Separately, supporters of Romney who served with Gingrich in Congress labeled him "erratic" and "unreliable." They also said he had helped Democratic President Bill Clinton win re-election. They spoke to reporters on a conference call arranged by Romney's campaign.
Gingrich called that "just stupid" and ticked off his record of fighting with Democratic House Speaker Tip O'Neill and engineering the first House Republican majority in 40 years with the 1994 elections.
"My only question is, so what did Mitt Romney do? Who did he help elect? What was he doing during those years?" Gingrich asked.
Later Wednesday, at a packed campaign stop at Bobby's Bar-B-Q Buffer in Warrenville, Gingrich urged more than 200 supporters to reject the better-funded and better-organized Romney.
"They thought they could buy this. They're discovering they can't buy this," he said.
Gingrich is fighting to emerge as the conservative alternative to Romney, winner of the first two contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. A third win by Romney on Saturday would make him difficult to beat in the race for the Republican nomination, and Gingrich already has conceded as much. He, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Texas Gov. Rick Perry still are hoping to halt his momentum, but are splintering conservative support in the process.
Asked Wednesday if the only way for him to win would be if Perry and Santorum withdraw from the race, Gingrich replied: "It would be helpful." But he quickly added that it was not his place to tell them to get out.
"My pitch is, if conservatives come together, we beat Romney decisively. If conservatives are split, he might squeak through with a plurality. So I am trying to get every conservative voter in this state to decide, while they may like somebody else, that historically we need to get the vote for Gingrich."
On a separate issue, Gingrich told reporters that he paid 31 percent of his 2010 income in taxes, more than double the 15 percent Romney said he pays. A Gingrich spokesman said the 31 percent was the effective federal rate on his income.
Gingrich declined to criticize Romney on the tax issue, saying instead that it made the case for his own proposal to put in place an optional 15 percent flat income tax.
"My goal is not to raise Mitt Romney's taxes, but to let everyone pay Romney's rate," he said.
Gingrich said he would release his 2010 tax return on Thursday, and follow up with his 2011 return after it has been prepared.

The Robert C Byrd Health Sciences Centre of West Virginia University has received $19.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to address the health issues that most commonly affect West Virginians.
The grant to the West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute (WVCTSI) is part of the NIH Institutional Development Award Programme for Clinical and Translational Research (IDeA-CTR). The federal programme provides funding for the development of infrastructure and to enable scientists to become more competitive for NIH and other biomedical research funding opportunities over the next five years.
Clinical and translational research is defined as research intended to move quickly from the laboratory to the patient – commonly referred to as bench to bedside – that more directly and specifically affects patient care.
In addition to the NIH grant, other leading educational, health sciences and healthcare entities from across the state have committed to providing another $33.5 million to the WVCTSI, to make the total initiative worth an unprecedented $53.1 million over the next five years.
The partnership includes the West Virginia University Health Sciences Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Pharmacy and Public Health; WVU Healthcare and the West Virginia United Health System; Charleston Area Medical Center, CAMC Institute and WVU-Charleston; the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and more.
"This NIH grant serves to instantly propel WVU Health Sciences onto a higher level as a research institution," Christopher C Colenda, MD, MPH, chancellor for WVU Health Sciences, said. "I consider this one of the greatest accomplishments to have occurred in the history of WVU Health Sciences. It will help us to transform lives and eliminate the health disparities in the state."
Colenda said the grant would pay for infrastructure – the people, equipment, programs and protocols – that would qualify WVU for more and greater NIH grants in clinical translational research that would fund specific disease-related studies to target cancer, heart disease, stroke and obesity related diseases.
Under the grant, 24 physician scientists will be hired over the next five years, along with 22 other staff and professional positions.
The principal investigator for WVU is Uma Sundaram, MD, director of the WVCTSI. Dr Sundaram "Here, as at many other health centers, there is excellent research and excellent patient care. What we need is a stronger connection between the two," Dr. Sundaram said. "WVCTSI will become that connection. What that means for the patient is a new approach and new options for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention."
The other state partners in the grant include the WVU College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, the College of Human Resources and Education, School of Journalism and the College of Business and Economics; the WVU Research Corporation; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; and the Governor's Office of Health Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning (GO HELP).
The grant will allow the WVCTSI to establish collaboration among the in-state partners, and with other institutions that already have established and NIH-funded programs in clinical and translational research, such as the University of Kentucky, Ohio State University and Indiana University, who were all part of WVU's grant application.
"This is about improving healthcare and improving lives," Jim Clements, Ph.D., WVU president, said. "It is about our flagship, land-grant, research university mission. We could not be more proud or more humbled to be a part of this great initiative, and I congratulate those who worked so hard to make this happen."
The grant required a 472-page application to the NIH. With this award, WVU will join an elite group that's part of a national consortium committed to improve human health by streamlining science, transforming training environments and improving the conduct, quality and dissemination of clinical and translational research.
"This award represents an excellent opportunity for West Virginia University to lead the establishment of the research infrastructure and capacity necessary for conducting productive clinical and translational research programs in the state," said Sidney McNairy, Ph.D., D.Sc., an IDeA program official at the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences.
The National Institutes of Health, the nation's medical research agency, includes 27 Institutes and Centers and is a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. NIH is the primary federal agency conducting and supporting basic, clinical, and translational medical research, and is investigating the causes, treatments, and cures for both common and rare diseases.

In Los Angeles, where international cuisines are examined with the rigor of sociological study, dessert is often a dish born under a foreign flag. There are those who lust after the cinnamon-dusted ridges of freshly fried churros, others who long for the ephemeral sakura-wrapped mochi available only during cherry blossom season. But whether it's by willful avoidance or total unfamiliarity, Southeast Asian sweets have yet to earn that same admiration.
Bhan Kanom Thai, meanwhile, is a rainbow rush of colors: Fresh mango glistening the brilliant orange of a late-summer sun, glutinous rice balls glowing a radiant pandan green, tender taro cakes blooming the same piercing purple as a field of lilacs. The Hollywood favorite is a den of overstimulation, its shelves stuffed with Thai desserts alive with vivid colors, focused flavors and foreign textures. To a particular set of Los Angeles diners, the sweet shop is an essential experience. Yet even as Southeast Asian flavors move from places like Thai Town and Little Saigon and into the mainstream, the region's diverse desserts remain largely unknown, tropical curiosities far more complex than a simple batch of banana fritters. Across greater Los Angeles, however, are countless examples of these sweets, a vast dessert diaspora as varied and unique as the ingredients and cultures that comprise each confection.
Nearly every Southeast Asian nation is represented in Los Angeles' own sprawling geography: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines. These are the very same sweets found on the streets of Bangkok and Jakarta and Manila. Here, they're imported by former culinary school instructors and avid cooks no longer confined to borrowed kitchens, by expatriates recreating tastes of home and younger generations now carrying on those traditions.
Southeast Asian sweets have even gone upscale. At restaurants like Lukshon, Red Medicine and the Spice Table, dessert draws inspiration from the region's honeyed heritage: pearls of palm sugar boba, dollops of avocado and coconut creams, strata of thick kaffir lime custard. It's an evolution in Los Angeles' appetite, one finally primed to embrace Southeast Asia's sweet side.

Students Visit Museums, Library to Research State Historyby Howard W. Hewitt • May 26, 2005 Share:
Wabash College students researching presentations on Indiana's quality of life spent Wednesday in Indianapolis learning about resources they can use to tell outsiders about the Hoosier state.
Eleven Wabash students have summer internships as part of a $1 million Lilly Endowment grant. The funds were awarded under Lilly's Initiative to Recruit and Retain Intellectual Capital for Indiana Higher Education Institutions.
The Wabash Project, Quality of Life in Indiana, includes student-faculty trips to educational and cultural spots throughout the state and this research project. The summer internships are known as the Present Indiana portion of the project.
The 11 students have selected topics to study and will make presentations to new faculty/staff and international students this fall.
Wednesday the men visited the Indiana Historical Society, State Library and Indiana State Museum.
"This was kind of a first stab at going to the historical resources available here in Indianapolis so that they could see where they might want to go back to later on," said David Clapp, director of off-campus studies and international students. "I didn't feel like we would accomplish anything definitive but several guys have found things they need to go back for. So this is a first step."
Clapp is leading the summer internship project with assistance from Librarian Larry Frye and reference librarian Jeff Beck.
Several of the students got membership cards at the state's new Historical Society, checked available resources at the State Library then toured the Museum.
"The historical society had a lot of older documents that I didn't find at the Wabash Library," said Jeremy Sexton'07. "They had hand-written documents and old maps."
Sexton is doing his project on the utopian experiment at New Harmony, near Evansville.
Sexton, an English major, was surprised by the depth of the materials available. "Absolutely, and they were pretty friendly letting you have stuff and helping you get it," he said.
That scenario was what Clapp, Frye and Beck had in mind when they scheduled the trip.
"Only a few of them really knew (about the resources). because they had been here before," Clapp said. "For most of them this was a new experience. It hasn't been a waste of time. We're only etching the tip of the iceberg on what's available."
The students spent their first two weeks narrowing the focus of their projects. The range of topics include comedy, classic theaters, Hoosier inventors, food and festivals, Indiana basketball and the state's limestone industry.

European Commission
Brussels, 13 July 2012
Preparation of Agriculture and Fisheries Council, 16 July 2012
The Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting of July 2012 will take place in Brussels on 16 July 2012, under the Presidency of Cypriot Minister for Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environment Mr. Sofoclis Aletraris. The Commission will be represented by Agriculture & Rural Development Commissioner Dacian Cioloş, Health & Consumer Policy Commissioner John Dalli and Maritime Affairs & Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki. The meeting will start at 10:00 with a presentation by the Presidency of its work programme. There will then be 2 "public" debates on aspects relating to CAP reform, and a formal discussion of animal welfare issue(s) and the Any Other Business points until roughly 16:30, when the Council will turn to fisheries issues. A press conference will be held at the end of the meeting – foreseen for roughly 18:30.
Commissioner Damanaki will present to ministers the Commission's Communication on Fishing Opportunities for 2013 (IP/12/584) and an exchange of views will follow. In this annual consultation document, the Commission asks for the views of Member States and stakeholders on the setting of Total Allowable Catches (TACs), quotas and fishing effort (days-at-sea) for the following year.
The Commission's approach for 2013 is that for stocks covered by the long-term management plans, TACs and effort levels should be fixed according to the plans in force. For other fish stocks, not covered by the plans, the TACs should be based on scientific advice, with a goal to phase out overfishing by 2015 - or earlier, wherever possible. Where no advice exists, the precautionary principle should be applied.
The Commission notes that the state of fish stocks in has improved over the last years. In the northeast Atlantic and nearby seas, overfished stocks fell from 32 out of 34 stocks in 2005 to 18 out of 38 stocks in 2012, i.e. from 94% to 47%. In the Mediterranean, sufficient data exists for 63% of stocks. Out of these, 80% are overfished.
Equally, the science base for assessing fish stocks is improving. Whereas in 2009 57 stocks subject to TACs in the northeast Atlantic were without scientific advice, a drastic improvement in 2012 to possibly as little as 10 to 12 stocks is expected. The Commission thereby reaffirms that it is committed to propose fishing levels based on scientific analysis and with the deadline of 2015 for phasing out overfishing, as spelled out in the proposal for reform of the Common Fisheries Policy.
Any other business
Ireland has requested an AOB discussion on mackerel.
Agriculture and Rural Development
Ministers will hold orientation debates on particular aspects of two of the main Commission's proposals for the post-2013 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) – relating to rural development, and the rules on market instruments under the so-called Single Common Market Organisation (CMO). The debates will be structured around questions drawn up by the Presidency as follows:

Seizure Shawl
Hi Zimmermaniacs,
It's been a long time since my last post, I couldn't find my log in details! This is the first of three EZ items that I have to show. I took Elizabeths advice for my summer holiday knitting and took along the Pi shawl, little did I know what the holiday would have in store for me. I knit at the airport and on the plane before my 18 month old daughter passed out and went blue, we touched down in Florida and were whisked off the tarmac straight to hospital where they insisted she had had a seizure. We were stuck in there for three days having tests and at many times I could have cheerfully stabbed some of the doctors/nurses looking after us with my new Addi lace needles. But I knit on in the middle of the night knowing that we would get through this and I would one day look at this shawl and remember the trauma. It turned out that Betsy was absolutely fine, thank God, and we now have what will forever be known as the "Seizure" Shawl.
Knit in Claudia Handpainted, Silk Lace 20/2, 100% Silk. I haven't measured the finished size, 1100 yards on the skein of which I have a tiny bit left, to block I used a 6 metre wire - could have done with a little bit bigger. I would highly recommend a shawl as travel knitting, mindless and good in a crisis!

Sarasota Herald-Tribune
By Tiffany Lankes
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
The School Board voted Tuesday to move forward with plans to tear down a historic building at Riverview High School, ending a two-year-long effort by local activists to save it.
The split vote -- 3 to 2 -- came after an hour of emotional comments from two dozen teachers, parents, community members and architects, forcing the board to weigh the value of preserving the building against the need for more parking and ballfields at the high school.
It was a rare standing-room-only School Board meeting, with the crowd split.
Teachers and students wore Riverview colors and said a plan to convert the old building into a music complex would further cramp an already tight campus. They also expressed concerns that the complex would jeopardize security by allowing more people on campus.
Those who wanted to save the building, designed by famed architect Paul Rudolph, wore green stickers and argued that it is too precious to tear down. Converting it into a music complex could attract top talent to the community and become a resource for students, they said.
In the end, board members said the decision hung on whether the group trying to save the building could come up with enough money for the project.
Despite giving the group three extra months to come up with a financial plan, board members said they were not convinced the money could be raised. They were afraid the district would get stuck with the old and deteriorated building.
"The time to show me the money was today," said board member Shirley Brown. "I'm sorry."
The decision came as a harsh blow to local architects and activists who have been trying for two years to persuade the district to spare the building.
"It's very unfortunate for the children and the culture and the fabric of Sarasota," said Don Blivas, who addressed the board.
Rudolph designed the original school, which opened in 1958 and is considered a prime example of the Sarasota School of Architecture. Other buildings were added on later, as the school grew.
The debate started two years ago when the district announced its intention to demolish the original building as it rebuilds Riverview on its 40-acre campus, the smallest in the county. The school has been falling apart for years and has persistent mold problems.
The district's plan calls for demolishing the original building and paving the site with a parking lot. The new school is scheduled to open in August 2009.
In March 2007, the School Board agreed to put the demolition plans on hold, giving the committee trying to save the building a year to come up with a feasible alternative.
After holding an international contest, the group selected architect Diane Lewis' plan for the Riverview Music Quadrangle, a center that would give the community a venue for the arts and could also be used by the students.
Their plan raised concerns from school officials, teachers and parents. One of the biggest proved to be the cost of the project, which the team estimated to be between $15 and $25 million. So far, the group had gathered $100,000 in pledges, though members said they could not really raise money until the School Board agreed to save the building.
"I'm impressed with the design, but I also know we have to be practical," said board member Caroline Zucker. "We don't have any money to help them. I see a lot of talk, but I don't see how they're going to come up with the money."
Board members Carol Todd and Kathy Kleinlein voted to support letting the team move forward with the music complex.
Todd offered a motion that would have required the team to work with district staff and come up with a site plan both groups could be happy with.
But new Superintendent Lori White said her staff already tried working with the architects. She said if the board wanted to give them more time, it had to acknowledge the district will have to make some concessions.
"I have to know that you accept those compromises," White said.
After more discussion -- the meeting lasted four hours -- the board voted against another delay, drawing applause from the Riverview crowd.
February 2006: School Board decides to tear down and rebuild Riverview High School, a plan that includes demolishing the original Paul Rudolph-designed buildings and paving the site as a parking lot. Local architects and preservations rally against the plan, forming a Save Riverview committee.
June 2006: School Board agrees to hear from preservationist group at a workshop to discuss the Riverview project.
October 2006: School officials reveal that the costs of rebuilding Riverview have risen to $135 million, making it the most expensive high school in the county's history.
December 2006: Preservationists ask county to investigate whether the district's plan violates a county rule that requires them to conduct a historical evaluation on the building before demolition.
January 2007: Local architects apply to get Riverview a designation as one of "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places of 2007." County attorney determines that the School Board must review demolition plans with county officials.
February 2007: School officials agree to allow the National Trust for Historic Preservation to study the viability of saving some of the original courtyard buildings, so long as it does not delay construction or increase costs.
March 2007: Committee presents a plan to save the Rudolph buildings, and replace the lost parking with a garage elsewhere on the site. The School Board agrees to give them one year to come up with the roughly $20 million to pay for the project.
May 2007: Riverview makes it on the list of most endangered historic sites in the state.
June 2007: The citizens group Save Riverview Committee merges with Sarasota Architectural Foundation, a nonprofit organization, to form the Riverview Committee. The new group decides to hold an international competition to find a partner with design ideas and funding.
November: A group of judges select a plan to convert the old Rudolph buildings into the Riverview Music Quadrangle.
March: One year deadline to come up with the money hits. Board agrees to give committee three more months to prove they can pay for project.

Working Out at Work
Even if you have a desk job, this doesn't mean your workout needs to wait until the end of the day at the gym.
Sitting all day can affect both your mental and physical health, even if you follow a regular exercise routine. Prolonged sedentary behavior puts people at greater risk of back pain, headaches, obesity, heart disease, kidney disease and even cancer.
Brief activity throughout the day can help improve your health without causing you to break a sweat. It can also ease the brain fog that can occur after your morning coffee wears off. You can work with fellow employees to make office exercise a priority; mark activity down in a daily agenda so it becomes part of the regular routine.
Below are some tips on what you can do as an individual and as an office to keep active throughout the day:
- Stretch before you sit down at your desk, on your lunch break or whenever you can. Work the muscles that are most relaxed throughout the day—especially your legs and back.
- Stand for your meetings. There's no rule that everyone needs to sit at meetings. Start with some fun music and stretch out with your co-workers before getting down to business. Some offices even have standing meetings in which a medicine ball is passed around. The energy shared in the room can extend attention span and lead to more productive dialog – as well as shorten those long-winded speeches!
- Stand at your desk or during phone calls. If you're lucky, you might be able to do this with ease by having an adjustable desk to raise your computer to waist height. If you are in an environment where using a speaker phone is acceptable, take every advantage of this and pace while you listen and talk. Wireless headsets are now more affordable than ever and can make this a realistic option.
- Bring your own gym. This doesn't mean you need a full set of barbells. You can bring ankle or strap-weights to work and get short-range exercises in while you read reports or listen in on conference calls. Spring hand-grips can fit in your drawer and be used whenever you have the chance. Do a few squats and/or bicep curls in between calls or tasks.
- Walk it off. Don't be afraid to park farther away and enjoy the fresh air and a short walk to the front door. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Log your exercise. Carry a pedometer and count your daily steps. Post a chart on your bulletin board for logging your activity.
- Help from your friends. Getting office mates involved and creating a friendly competition can benefit everyone. A weekly or monthly prize for winners can create extra incentive.
If you develop back pain, headaches or other conditions despite your best efforts to be active at work, a physical therapist can help you overcome the pain. Contact Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network to request an appointment.

HealthDay Reporter
THURSDAY, May 29 (HealthDay News) — People who keep up active social lives as they age may be doing their brain a favor, a new study finds.
Latest Senior Health News
Being socially active may increase feelings of self-worth and emotional validation that could end up helping maintain memory, researchers say. Social interaction may also present older minds with new challenges, keeping the brain more agile.
"We assessed social integration by marital status, volunteer activities and frequency of contact with children and neighbors," explained lead researcher Karen Ertel, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Society, Human Development and Health at the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston.
Her team found that "people who were most socially integrated had memory decline of less than half the rate compared with those who were the least socially integrated," Ertel said.
The report is published in the May 29 online edition of the American Journal of Public Health.
In the study, Ertel's team collected data on almost 17,000 Americans, 50 and older, who participated in the Health and Retirement Study. To test memory, the researchers had participants memorize a list of 10 words. Over six years, researchers tested recall of the word list to assess any decline in immediate and delayed recall.
Average memory scores declined from 11 in 1998 to 10 in 2004, the researchers reported. People who were more socially engaged at the start of the study had a slower decline in memory, compared with people who were more socially isolated, the researchers found.
According to Ertel, the findings indicate that "social activity may help preserve cognitive functioning in the elderly. In addition, people who are socially active may also have other healthful behaviors, which may be related to cognition and better physical health."
In another study in the same issue of the journal, Finnish researchers reported that elderly people are more likely to be institutionalized following the death of a spouse.
"We found that the risk of entering long-term institutional care was higher among older adults who had lost their spouse than among those living with their spouse," said lead researcher Elina Nihtila, from the department of sociology at the University of Helsinki.
Moreover, the excess risk of institutionalization was highest during the first month after the spouse's death, Nihtila said. "The risk was more than three times among both men and women, and decreased with time from bereavement, stabilizing at approximately 20 percent to 50 percent higher over one to five years," she said.
Fortunately, a large proportion of surviving spouses are likely to recover from partner loss, and feelings of despair and anxiety typically do diminish over time, Nihtila said. This "emotional recovery could explain why the very large excess risk of entering institutional care among those recently bereaved dropped with time from the spouse's death," she said.
The study involved data on almost 141,000 people 65 and older living with a spouse. During five years of follow-up, the risk of being institutionalized rose immediately after the death of a spouse, the researchers found.
There could be various explanations for these findings, Nihtila said, including a "loss of social and instrumental support, in the form of care and help with daily activities such as help in cooking, cleaning, and shopping formerly shared with the deceased spouse."
In addition, grief and spousal loss may cause various symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, fatigue and loss of concentration, Nihtila noted. "Furthermore, grief may cause increased susceptibility to physical diseases that could also increase the need for institutional care," she said.
Home help services targeted to the bereaved immediately after a spouse's death might help ease the strain, Nihtila said.
One expert said the studies highlight the problem of growing social isolation among the elderly.
"There is nothing like being face-to-face with someone," said Colin Milner, CEO of the Vancouver-based International Council on Active Aging. "But I think we are manufacturing that [contact] out of our lifestyle and that will have a long term detrimental effect on the mental health of the population," he said.
More outreach to older people, especially when a spouse dies, will be key, Milner said. "There should be programs when a spouse dies to help them get back into the swing of life," he said.

Posts Tagged 'zone blitz'
How BYU got to Sam Bradford
The reigning Heisman athlete in college football, Sam Bradford, was literally coached into the ground. Don't get me wrong, it's a shame to see an all-American kid like him get hurt. These things happen in football.
So how did BYU get to Sam Bradford?
The Spread
The interesting thing about the spread offense in football is that it tries to level the playing field. If you can put your athletes in one-on-one matchups or scheme them into large holes in zone coverage, you can win with less talent or put up ridiculous points with more talent.
At the same time, this strategy puts enormous pressure on the offensive line and Quarterback because they, too are put in more one-on-one matchups. If the defense can figure out how to get number advantages in the small areas between linemen, and can figure out how to cover the field with less defensive backs, the offense can be in for a long day.
Such is the case with Oklahoma and BYU.
This article focuses on BYU's pressure and coverage package. Oklahoma runs a standard 4-3 defense and put a cover two and cover four shell behind it most of the time. And they could match up man-for-man to pressure because of a distinct talent advantage. So there is nothing interesting about them.
What's more, the Oklahoma offense was disadvantaged only one NFL-quality tight end. They had the rest of their starting talent on the field. Talent that should be able to put a Mountain West Conference team like BYU in its place.
So what is intriguing is what the underdog did to take down the more talented big dog.
BYU's Pressure Package
BYU's defense was impressive all-around. Run support was phenomenal, though sometimes spotty. Most impressive was BYU's commitment and success in pressuring the passer.
BYU's successful pressure package took the form of a number of zone blitzes. BYU doesn't match up man-for-man with Oklahoma's receivers, so it is necessary for BYU to utilize zone support underneath Oklahoma's pass schemes, even when pressuring.
What is impressive about BYU's pressure is that it necessitated vacating one zone coverage defender in order to put an extra player into a blitz. Oklahoma never seemed to find that opening. One particular zone blitz was extremely effective and ended up putting the hurt on Oklahoma, literally.
In this blitz scheme, BYU came from the boundary side. This was also the QB backside, so it was less conspicuous to a right-handed QB like Bradford.
Defensive Line Play
The defensive line was in BYU's "even" front- a shift of the whole defensive line one man over.
Ends (E) are lined up with one over the tight end or over where the tight end would be, and the other End lining up over the backside Guard.
The Nose Tackle (N) is lined up over the call side guard.
The outside linebacker (S) will then fill in to make an even look, taking a position over the tight end, if present, or over where the tight end would line up, if not present.
The End on the blitz side takes an outside leverage rush, taking the left tackle wide.
The Nose Tackle slants hard away from the blitz, aiming hard for the A gap ad taking the Guard wide away as well.
The other End now takes a hard slant away to control the B and C gaps on the away side, either applying pressure upfield or playing a pseudo-zone position on the edge to discourage a QB scramble and to discourage a quick pass to the short hook/curl zone.
Linebacker Play
The Will (W) and Buc (B) linebackers will be pressuring in this case. Buc strikes first to occupy the Left Guard or Running Back on the blitz side. On this play, it was the running back.
Will follows through, looping inside the End/left tackle and having a free path to the QB if there is no remaining blocker.
The Mike (M) linebacker checks run and then runs hard for the No. 2 defender on the blitz side- a long way to cover. Mike will have responsibility for walling and shadowing under #2 in covering the hook/curl zones on the blitz side.
The Sam (S) linebacker checks run as well and then breaks fast for the No. 2 receiver to wall and shadow No. 2 underneath and cover curl, flat and wheel zones.
Mike and Sam make up the only underneath support coverage.
Safety Play
The Safeties in this scheme cover deep halves and the Corners cover flat and wheel zones in cover-two fashion.
In the instance of Bradford's injury, the running back came up to block the Buc linebacker and Will ran past the reach of the left tackle, who tried to get back to close his inside gap. Bradford half-rolled away from pressure, but the Will caught him just at release and the rest is history.
Sam Bradford was leveled at least two times from this blitz on his final drive of the game. The second time he left the game with a shoulder sprain. BYU continued to run this blitz against the backup, Landry Jones, who was hit by the free linebacker as well.
It is interesting to note that in one of BYU's greatest accomplishments as a football team, head coach Bronco Mendenhall found his defensive Coordinator, Jaime Hill, after the game and gave him a big hug.
Why? BYU was well-prepared and well-coached for this game and it showed. They did not waste a single player in space, putting everyone in a position to cover someone and make a play.
Most football teams have a goal defensively to hold opponents to 17 or fewer points per game. That's two touchdowns and a field goal. Against the likes of Oklahoma, such a goal seams out of reach.
Thirteen points later (1 TD, 2 FG), the story of the day was BYU's defense. It seems that Bob Stoops was outcoached again.

James Yorkston | 25/10/10
To the outside looking in, touring may appear to be one big party; a chance to travel the world, experience amazing sights, and perform in front of adoring fans night after night. For most musicians though, the reality is far less glamorous, just ask one of Domino's most esteemed artists, James Yorkston, who maps out the realities of life on the road as a series of evolving tour diaries in his first book 'It's Lovely To Be Here – The Touring Diaries Of A Scottish Gent', which will be published on 3rd February 2011.
As well as being the Scottish gent's literary debut, it's also the first publication from The Domino Press, the new publishing imprint from Domino Records, which we're obviously more than a little excited to announce.
On his literary debut, James draws on his talents as a highly romantic, self-deprecating and conversational songwriter with a gift for storytelling, to make the transition from stage to page seem effortless. Amusing, charming, occasionally tinged with melancholy, and often soaked in whisky, 'It's Lovely To Be Here' is a compelling antidote to the celebrity memoir, which never shies away from the realities of a life on the road; often incomprehensibly mundane, sometimes wonderfully bizarre, always surprising.
James Yorkston will undertake a full live tour of 'It's Lovely To Be Here' accompanied by readings from the diaries themselves, so keep your eyes peeled for those.
Pre-order 'It's Lovely To Be Here'

A 2000 page bill that calls for more than 350 regulatory rule-makings, 47 studies, 74 reports will cause major uncertainty, making it harder for business to raise capital, make investments and ultimately create new jobs going to be called either the Frank Dodd Act or the Dodd Frank Act. Source: Tom Donohue, President and CEO, US Chamber of Commerce
What we call this bill is very important, since the bill does nothing to help regulate financial markets. Giving it the proper name is, frankly, more important than making it law. If we could just skip the 'making it a law' part, well that would be great.
Frank and Dodd, the financial geniuses behind Freddie and Fannie Mac, didn't bother to do a cost-benefit study on the effect on end users. If Dodd-Frank passes the Senate, U.S. companies could be forced to put up an additional $1 trillion in collateral to continue using derivatives to reduce their business risk.
It's not like there was never a discussion on collateral requirements, there was and it was soundly rejected. Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd pulled an all-nighter to finish the bill before an arbitrary political deadline set by the White House. At 5:08 a.m. on Friday, June 25, the bill passed with the added $1 trillion cost to American businesses who have any dealings with derivatives.
The bill, frankly, is a bill of A Trillion Unintended Consequences. The treasurer of FMC Corp, a chemical manufacturer, said his firm will have to put up $1.5 billion in collateral, which means they can't spend that cash on building plants and hiring workers.
"The Dodd-Frank Act is an Empty Effort at Financial Reform"
Congressman Kenny Marchant (TX-24) issued the following statement after the House passed the "Dodd-Frank Act" (H.R. 4173), which fails to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and will place more unrestrained power in the hands of irresponsible regulators.
"Today House Democrats chose to ignore the root causes of our financial meltdown and plowed irresponsibly ahead with an empty, politically motivated effort at "reform" that will continue to thwart our economic recovery. I, along with many of my fellow Republicans, am a staunch advocate for meaningful reform. However, this bill offers no such thing. A majority of its 2,300 pages are hollow and superfluous powers, and the rest takes punitive measures against those who had nothing to do with the financial crisis.
"While the risky behavior of those in the subprime mortgage industry infected the lion's share of our financial sector, the regulators were asleep at the switch. Unfortunately, it is these very same regulators–many of them now top economic officials in the Obama administration–who are the real 'winners' in this bill.
"The American people would be well served by subjecting large financial institutions to structured bankruptcy proceedings. Instead, the Dodd-Frank Act institutionalizes 'too big to fail.' The American people would be well served by reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Instead, we ignore them entirely and give them unlimited access to taxpayer money – a cost that could reach $380 billion. The American people would be well served by instituting an exacting standard for regulators. Instead, we just create more of them. Perhaps most importantly, the American people would be well served by implementing policies that empower businesses large and small to create jobs and spur economic growth. Instead, we penalize community institutions with burdensome changes to capital requirements, penalize large institutions with nearly $6 billion of increased FDIC premiums, and penalize non-financial institutions with limits on their ability to manage risk.
"This bill does not best serve our constituents. While they are demanding Congress to reign in spending, this bill hikes taxes and makes bailouts permanent. As a proponent of limited government, we must force the private sector to pay for their own mess through traditional bankruptcy rather than strap it on the backs of American taxpayers. Despite the vigorous opposition of the bill, Democrats continue to pass partisan legislation and ignore the voice of the American people."
Where is the media on all of this today? Well if you are the Wall Street Journal, other financial news service, or a blogger, there are plenty of articles.
But if you are with the main stream media, you get no balanced news just one short story on Obama getting his way:
CBS News Reports:
Obama: Financial Reform Deal Has 90 Percent of What I Proposed
NBC News:
A search on NBC news on this bill results in no stories.

Fellowship Fund Established at Clarkson University in Memory of Professor Yuzhuo Li
A memorial fellowship fund has been established at Clarkson University in memory of Yuzhuo Li, a beloved chemistry professor at Clarkson for more than 20 years. The Yuzhuo Li Memorial Fellowship Fund has received donations totaling more than $25,000 from family, friends, colleagues and associates.
Born in a humble working family in China, Li overcame all odds with his distinguished academic talent to become the first in his family to earn a college degree from a leading national university, Nankai University, and, subsequently, a Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Li joined the chemistry faculty at Clarkson University in 1990 and was recognized with many honors, including the Outstanding New Teacher Award in 1993, the John W. Graham, Jr. Faculty Research Award in 1996, the Outstanding Advisor Award in 1997 and the CUSA Outstanding Teaching Award in 1998. He mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students and was also the author and editor of more than 100 publications, and the inventor of over 60 patents.
A consummate researcher, Li was a leading expert in the area of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP). He was on extended leave from Clarkson serving as head of research & development for CMP, Global Business Electronic Materials at BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany, from 2008 to 2010, and then as head of research & development for the entire Global Business Electronic Materials division at BASF from 2010 until his untimely passing in November 2012.
"Dr. Li was a truly committed faculty member and scientist," said Clarkson President Tony Collins. "He epitomized our Clarkson values, which provide the foundation for the learning and living that guide the personal and professional growth of every Clarkson student. His determination, wisdom, and caring nature are greatly missed by the Clarkson community."
The Yuzhuo Li Memorial Fellowship Fund has a goal of raising $100,000 to establish an endowment, which will annually award support for an undergraduate chemistry student who will conduct summer research with a Clarkson chemistry faculty member.
"The positive impact this award will have on many Clarkson students in years to come will serve as a truly meaningful tribute to the memory of Dr. Li, a wonderful mentor to many students who have since become highly successful professionals," said Collins.
If you would like to donate to the fund to help preserve the legacy of Yuzhuo Li, please visit http://www.clarkson.edu/e2e/make_gift.html for instructions or contact April Grant, director of donor relations, at 315-268-7709 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Do you have lock spacers fitted too?
The picture of e30 with mental lock is the wisefab kit by the looks of it.. It's fully awesome but tbh you don't need that much lock, it won't make you any faster... Daigo Saito only uses modified knuckles on his D1, FormulaD cars and he usually wins, so you don't 'need' that much lock..
Your picture of the new knuckle is ok, they exist already exactly like you've designed, can't remember where iv seen them though.
Regarding spacing the steering rack.. You've got the wrong end on the stick with WHY they do this..
It doesn't give more lock just moving the rack.
The reason it's done is to overcome the issues caused by going 'over centre'.. This is where the track rod goes all the way to its full throw and goes the other way, so that when you go to steer back the other way the track rod is effectively locked.
Google search 'Over Centre' and I'm sure you'll find a better explanation, probilly on driftworks.
All the kits like DW geomasters and wisefab kits alter all the mounting mounts and pivot points etc.. Clever stuff..
The geomasters are a copy of a discontinued part originally made by GP Sports Japan.. They went bust and DW got a pair and copied them..
The wisefab kits are mental.. They Completly replace the whole hub and subframe assembly.. Most of it is handmade and very high quality, Really is a work of art, but jeez does it cost...

If I were 8 years old I would open my lunch box (metal, of course…before they were retro) with the thermos that was easily broken (I should know…once when being bullied on the bus I whacked my metal lunch box over a kids head…shattered my thermos and got into a little trouble for hitting him…in the 60's girls didn't hit anyone, let alone boys!).
Anyway, back to lunch…
I didn't eat peanut butter and jelly, period. I also didn't eat hot dogs but that's another blog. Instead, mom made me
cream cheese and jelly.
And, not just any jelly…the best sandwich of all was cream cheese and
What I wouldn't give for two slices of soft white bread right now…I know it's not good and I cannot eat soft bread anymore but that doesn't make me miss this nostalgic lunch any less.
What did you love to open your lunch box and find?
Have a yummy day!

Sofia Vergara Tops AskMen's 'Top 99 Women of 2012′ List
When beautiful women get ranked numerically on the Internet, it's our eyes which are the big winners. However, in a more technical sense, Sofia Vergara was the big winner of AskMen's annual list of 'The 99 Top Women of 2012.'
The star of 'Modern Family' was followed in the second spot by the equally buxom Kate Upton, suggesting AskMen's editors wisely put a strong emphasis on the timeless ability to full out a bikini.
Blake Lively and Mila Kunis — who were one and two in AskMen's 2011 list — fell to 32 and 13, respectively. We will have to examine this more closely, which involves seven hours of staring at photos of each woman in a dimly lit room with 'Dark Side of the Moon' playing softly in the background.
Also, with Nicki Manaj fourth, Rihanna ninth and Lady Gaga at eighteen, AskMen was clearly awarding extra credit for musical talent but if that were the case, why no top 99 love at our girl Emmy Rossum, who sings, acts and embraces gratuitous nudity? Old timers would call her a triple threat.

"Our new RX-V series models fully embrace the evolution of the AV receiver and reflect the consumers' expectations that they will work seamlessly with other components...in the home," said Tom Sumner, senior vice-president, Yamaha Corporation of America.
Buena Park, Calif. (PRWEB) April 02, 2012
Yamaha Corporation of America, AV Division, today added two new network models to its updated line of market-leading RX-V series AV receivers – the 7.1-channel RX-V573 and 5.1-channel RX-V473 models –following last month's arrival of the company's 5.1-channel RX-V373.
Offering a perfect balance of sophistication and simplicity, the models boast robust performance, setup and control features including AirPlay compatibility with Apple iOS devices, direct connectivity to iPads, iPhones and iPods, as well as the company's proprietary YPAO system calibration. System control has been made more convenient throughout the line via the recently updated Yamaha AV controller app, which include native iPad and tablet versions, for iOS, Android and Kindle Fire devices. Providing wide access to content from virtually any source, these network receivers also deliver audio from Internet radio and DLNA-certified devices.
Yamaha will announce additional models in the popular RX-V series later this month.
The improved Yamaha AV controller app for iOS and Android devices provides a portrait or landscape mode user interface for easy visibility on smart phones or tablets. The app's interface can also be customized, enabling control icons to be rearranged and background wallpaper designs to be imported.
Each future proof model in the RX-V series provides 4K video pass-through from yet-to-be-introduced source components that will deliver content with four times the resolution of 1080p. All models also provide 3D video pass-through with Audio Return Channel (ARC).
"Our new RX-V series models fully embrace the evolution of the AV receiver and reflect the consumers' expectations that they will work seamlessly with other components and portable devices in the home," said Tom Sumner, senior vice-president, Yamaha Corporation of America. "We've taken a sophisticated, yet simple-to-use design approach to enabling people to better enjoy movies, TV and music with the highest quality audio and video."
Exceptional Performance, Control and Set Up Features
The RX-V573 has seven discreet assignable amplifiers that enable a home entertainment system to deliver 7-channel surround sound in one zone, to bi-amp and double power to main speakers, or to provide audio to Zone B. The RX-V573 also has a Virtual Presence Speaker function for achieving full CINEMA DSP 3D surround without front presence speakers.
The RX-V573 and RX-V473 both have advanced multi-language on-screen displays that overlay onto HD and 3D video signals to depict system control and setup prompts. Data, such as song titles, from connected iPods, iPhones, iPods or USB drives is shown on the receivers' attractive on-screen displays. Connected iPods, iPhones and iPads will also charge automatically for later use on the go.
All models in the RX-V series offer a full complement of HD Audio format decoding, including Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD High Resolution Audio.
Other notable performance and convenience features of the RX-V series include:
- ECO Mode that reduces the model's power consumption by 20 percent. The model has extremely low power consumption in standby mode and Auto Power Down can be set for 2, 4, 8 or 12 hours;
- YPAO system calibration that ensures more accurate room measurements by confirming the subwoofer is fully responding before making audio adjustments;
- A subwoofer level adjustment that enables listeners to increase the bass without disturbing the system's crossover point. The result is that vocals and high frequency sounds do not end up "boomy" or "muddy" from being misdirected through the subwoofer;
- A High speed HDMI switching function that remembers the settings of all connected sources, eliminating the time it normally takes to adjust to each when they are selected;
- Four convenient SCENE Mode buttons that automatically power on the appropriate components and make system adjustments for specific entertainment options.
All models in the RX-V series offer a full suite of proprietary audio features that provide users flexibility and control in setting up the best possible audio experiences. CINEMA DSP 3D, with 17 DSP programs, enables users to adjust the listening experience precisely to their preferences. SILENT CINEMA makes it possible to hear large-scale surround sound through ordinary headphones. Virtual CINEMA DSP lets consumers enjoy the effects of CINEMA DSP surround sound without using surround speakers. It can be used with the front / center / presence speakers or even with two front left and right speakers. Yamaha's proprietary Compressed Music Enhancer technology with CINEMA DSP restores lost detail in compressed music files, providing a natural sounding listening experience when enjoying your favorite music from an iPod, iPhone or other compressed music source.
The RX-V573 and RX-V473 are currently available for $549.95 and $449.95 MSRP, respectively.
