Thank you, Mindy, for your service to the community of Ukiah and the Ukiah Public Library! You will be missed! ~mk
Mendocino County library director resigns unexpectedly
Updated: 03/30/2014 12:00:14 AM PDT
Conflicts with Friends groups dogged her
Ukiah Daily Journal
Mendocino County Library Director Mindy Kittay is resigning after a year and three months on the job, the Mendocino County Executive Office announced Friday.
Kittay submitted her resignation Thursday, two days after the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors reviewed her job performance in a closed-door meeting Tuesday.
At the time of her hire in November, 2013, the county executive office lauded her innovation in a "well-respected and award-winning library district" and contribution "transforming a failing library system in Colorado into a library success story" featured in Library Journal and the L.A. Times.
"I'm really going to miss her," said Ukiah branch manager Eliza Wingate. "She was brilliant.... She brought about more positive change than we've had in a long time. This place looks great, and she made it happen."
Wingate continued, "She had so much energy and ideas, and she actually worked in a quality library system, and that counts for something." Citing budget cuts that had put the financial responsibility for the library system largely in the hands of various friends groups throughout the county, Wingate said, "And we had forgotten. We were just in survival mode."
Kittay's March 25 performance evaluation was her third in five months. Such evaluations usually happen annually. She was evaluated Oct. 21, Dec. 16 and again in March. County Counsel Doug Losak said Friday that he couldn't comment on Kittay's departure because it's a personnel matter.
Ukiah City Councilman Benj Thomas, who has sat on the county's Library Advisory Board for the past eight years, said Kittay "didn't feel secure in her job" since she'd been under close scrutiny from the board. Thomas said he had received "a considerable amount of negative comment about Mindy, which I never felt represented a significant portion of the community or library users."
Thomas said he is "deeply sorry that it didn't work out for Mindy and the library and the county," and called her departure "a real setback for the library system."
"She ran into some real opposition from friend of the library groups," Thomas said. "What she was doing, in the opinions of many, was a brilliant job of moving the library in the direction of a 21st century library. Some did not like the changes she made, and had been very vocal about that, but her vision was excellent."
Kittay had vocally disagreed the Friends of the Ukiah Library's board of directors when it took a controversial vote in October to set aside $75,000 of its $115,000 budget to fund a new library building.
Kittay objected, saying there were no plans to build a new library, and wanted the Friends to instead use the money to meet the Ukiah branch's more immediate needs for books and materials, computers, staff training, a new meeting room and new carpeting.
The meeting was contentious, with board members claiming most of the set-aside money came from book sales the Friends had organized over 40 years. Some attendees argued that the community had contributed at those sales and other events to run the existing library, not to build a new one, because the only plans for a new building were informal and vague.
The debate around the October decision got so heated that two of a handful of audience members urged the board to put their emotions aside before voting. Several board members said their decades of membership entitled them to be emotional.
Kittay urged the board to instead launch a capital campaign and put aside $10,000 to seed fundraising efforts specifically for a new library building for the sake of transparency to the public. She urged the Friends to consider that roughly 70 percent of the Ukiah branch's books are upwards of 10 years old, and the computers are 10 years old and also in need of upgrading.
When some of the board members said the county of Mendocino should be responsible for some of the items on Kittay's list of needs, such as a meeting room and new carpeting and furniture, Kittay said the county's budget is tight and its Board of Supervisors doesn't plan to contribute more of its general fund.
Six out of 11 board members voted to set aside $75,000 for the new building. The October meeting followed another high-emotion meeting with the Ukiah Friends in September.
Kittay had also told the board that she was using 70 percent of the revenue from Measure A -- a one-eighth cent tax to support the county's library system -- to pay for staff time and benefits in order to extend hours for the public at the Ukiah branch.
Thomas said the measure's passage and influx of money at the advent of her time with Mendocino County was both an advantage and a burden.
"An advantage because there's more money to spend, and a burden because the expectations can get very high, and sometimes exceeded what could get done with that money in terms of staffing," he said.
He suspected Kittay also encountered conflict between Ukiah and outlying communities as she worked to centralize the county library system, making some of the outlying branches less autonomous.
"Certain jobs are better done, and more efficiently done, through a central organization, rather than through a dispersed one," he said.
Adding that the Library Advisory Board's concern is for the best interest of the entire county library system, Thomas said, "We had really high hopes for Mindy being able to stay in the position and bring about some of the changes that she wanted to. I hope her successor would have some of the same vision."

Meet Mendric. He is a high school student. This is his third crusade. He and his family had missed the Anaheim Crusade, but were happy to have the chance to drive to LA to attend. Mendrick was accompanied by his parents, his sister and her friend. The girls wanted to come out to see Lecrae, but Mendric wanted to hear Pastor Greg's message.
"Every time I come, I want to reinstate myself with Christ. I feel like when I do something bad I want to make sure that I am good with God." What I like about this young man is his heart and desire to make things right with God. I spoke to him about God's indefinite forgiveness and while yes, you do need to ask God for forgiveness for your sins, he could do that at home, in the car, at school, or anywhere he is at and at any time. I wanted him to understand that he didn't have to wait to go to a crusade to have his sins forgiven.
God is always there and while it may be hard for us to forgive ourselves and forget our sins, it is not hard for God. "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us" (Psalm 103:8–12).

Tiger Oscar Origins and Profile
Tiger Oscars are a color variety of the Oscar Cichlid (Astronotus Ocellatus). Actual origins of the Tiger Oscar remain somewhat of a mystery with some information that suggests they were based from a naturally occurring color variety originally (incorrectly) classified (in 1904) as a separate species (Astronotus Ocellatus Zebra), a classification which is now obsolete. We know now, through additional DNA studies from 1986, that fish originally identified as Astronotus Ocellatus Zebra are actually Astronotus Crassipinnis (the second Oscar species). There is no viable evidence that these fish have any relation to the origins of the Tiger Oscar.
Additional "evidence" that the original Tiger Oscars may be based upon a naturally occurring color variety stem from photographs taken by Dr. Herbert R. Axelrod in the early 1960s, of wild caught fish (then classified by Axelrod as Astronotus Ocellatus Zebra), which identify a fish with a resemblance to the Red Tiger Oscar. But the Tiger Oscar did not start appearing for sale to aquarium enthusiasts until the early 1970s.
Common Oscars have been available to hobbyist for well over 100 years. Aside from the Common Oscar (aka Wild Type Oscar), the first color variety generally available to hobbyists was the Red Oscar. The Red Oscar was developed by a Thai Businessman named Charoen Pattabonge, first becoming available to aquarists in 1969. It is the predominately accepted belief that Tiger Oscars are a subsequently fixed color strain, crossing the Red Oscar back to selected Common Oscars, which would fit with their availability dating to the early 1970s (a few years after the Red Oscar).
Left: Red Oscar – Right, Wild Caught Oscar
If you take the above two fish, mix them together, then it seems perfectly reasonable you wind up with fish identified in the below photograph. A Tiger Oscar is a Common Oscar were the olive drab green coloration of the body has been replaced with mostly Red, inherited from the Red Oscar.
Regardless of the origins, Asian breeders have turned the appearance of the Tiger Oscar into something far removed from any wild brethren, achieving amazing coloration and patterns never achieved by nature.
Tiger Oscar Profile
Scientific Name:Astronotus ocellatus (invalid/outdated synonyms: Lobotes ocellatus, Cychla rubroocellata, Acara compressus, Acara hyposticta, Astronotus ocellatus zebra, and Astronotus orbiculatus)
Common Name: Tiger Oscar
Size: 12" is common, larger have been known to occur in aquariums
Origin: Tiger Oscars are not found in the wild. Their parent fish, the wild Oscar is natively found in South America - Amazon and Orinoco River Basins - Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, French Guiana, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela, as well as non-native populations becoming established in Florida, various Caribian islands, Australia, and likely elsewhere in the tropics.
PH: Unless you are keeping wild caught Oscars, and there are no wild caught Tiger Oscars, pH is virtually irrelevant. What is important is a stable pH. People keep Oscars in a pH from 6 to in excess of 8. I think the idea pH would be neutral to slightly acidic but there is absolutely no need to attempt to adjust pH.
Food Items:In the wild, an Oscars diet consist primarily of insects and crustaceans. In captivity, a commercially available quality pellet should be the primary staple of their diet. For an in-depth review of an Oscar's dietary requirements and suggested feeding practices, please review Oscar Fish Diet – Feeding Oscars.
Longevity: In captivity, far too many Tiger Oscars die within 3-5 years. For a fish that should live a decade or more, this is a shame. A result of poor husbandry and bad diet. Owning a Tiger Oscar is a long term commitment not to be taken lightly. If the idea of weekly water changes does not appeal to you, you don't need to own an Oscar.
Aggression: By large cichlid standards, Oscars are mildly aggressive. People often make the mistake of assuming Oscars are as aggressive as their New World Cichlid brethren, such as Green Terrors, Red Terrors, Jack Dempsey's, etc... They are not. When housed with these more aggressive fish they generally are on the lower end of the cichlid pecking order. When it comes to housing a pair of Oscars, your best chance of success would be with two females. When young, you may be able to keep two males or a male + female but when sexual maturity sets in, hang on. Two males, no way. There is going to be a war and one of two, if not both, will be killed. A male and female can coexist provided neither detects a weakness in the other and/or both decide to spawn at the same time.
Minimum Tank Size: 55 gallons, per Oscar.

With the victory, ETSU improves to 12-5, 8-2 in the Atlantic Sun, while Stetson falls to 3-13, 1-8 in conference.
ETSU went from scalding hot to stone cold after the break, failing to net its first field goal of the half until the 13:07 mark when Candace Gibson (Warner Robins, Ga.) converted on a layup. The Lady Bucs' dry spell saw the Hatters surge to their first lead of the night at 39-38, with 15:34 to go.
The Hatters would hold a total of three leads in the half, before the Lady Bucs pulled away, sinking eight free throws in the last three minutes, including four from sophomore Nichelle Akers (Sumter, S.C.).
ETSU earned an early seven-point lead in the first half, nailing its first four field goal attempts, including two threes from sophomore Michele DeVault (Columbus, Ohio). The Lady Bucs were on fire from long range all night, draining 9-of-13 attempts for a sensational 69.2 percent performance for the night. DeVault was a perfect 3-for-3 from behind the arc for the game, tallying 13 points overall.
Banjo led the ETSU attack in the first, posting 19 points, on a 7-for-13 effort from the field, 5-for-7 from long range. Stetson's Nefertiti Walker, also one of the league's top scorers, netted 13 in the opening period and a team-high 19 for the game.
The Hatters were also hot from the floor in the first, fielding a 54.2 percent effort (13-for-24). But long-range shooting spelled the difference, as ETSU dropped seven treys to a lone three-pointer from the Hatters. ETSU led by as many as 12 in the first half, before taking the 36-31 advantage into the locker room.
ETSU also took advantage of Stetson's foul trouble throughout, converting on 14-of-20 attempts at the line, while the Hatters made only seven attempts at the charity stripe. Stetson held the advantage on the glass, besting ETSU 32-27 on the boards, highlighted by 10 from Mia Johnson. Banjo paced the Lady Bucs with seven rebounds.
Four Lady Bucs scored in double figures on the night, with Akers and Gibson with 10 apiece, along with Banjo's 26, and DeVault's 13. Walker was the lone Hatter to reach double digits, with Johnson, Kim Manning, and Janene Maclin adding eight each.
The Lady Bucs will be on the road through the weekend, as they are set to play Mercer on Saturday. The contest is scheduled for at 2 p.m. start in Macon, Ga.

A Shortcut to Aerosol Signatures
Scientists find a way to distinguish the aerosol particle signal from the weather noise
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and PNNL "nudged" simulated winds toward observations to isolate the aerosol signature on the Earth energy balance (right) from the noisy result without nudging (left). Red signifies heating, blue is cooling. (See sidebar, What is nudging?) Enlarge Image
Results: Scientists developed a modeling shortcut to dial in a clearer atmospheric particle signal. A research team from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the University of Washington, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory fine-tuned the winds simulated in a global climate model to better represent the winds measured in the atmosphere. Their technique increased the signal's clarity by greatly reducing the signal noise. Their work produced shorter, more efficient simulations of the global aerosol particle effects on clouds and a better reception of the atmospheric particle signal.
Why It Matters: Although scientists agree that the Earth is warming because of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, there are other considerations. Increased levels of atmospheric particles, or aerosols, inside clouds can have a cooling influence. Pollution particles make the clouds brighter and more reflective by both increasing the number of cloud droplets and reducing each droplet's size. Scientists are working to find other factors that allow polluted clouds to hold more water, which would make them even brighter. Accounting for detailed features in the climate, such as the cooling effect of pollution particles on clouds, will help scientists understand past climate change and improve confidence in predictions of future climate change. This study gives climate researchers a valuable tool for those important predictions.
Methods: Aerosol particles produced by human activity are influencing climate change by making more droplets so that clouds can hold more water without raining. Isolating such aerosol effects on clouds from the influence of inherently variable effects of weather systems is fraught with difficulty. The aerosols' signature is small but persistent, yet it involves the same highly variable quantity - the amount of liquid water in the atmospheric column - that is strongly influenced by weather systems.
For this study, researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of Washington, and PNNL simulated aerosol effects on clouds using the Community Atmosphere Model, CAM5. They nudged simulations of pre-industrial and present day aerosols toward the same winds so that the weather systems were similar in both simulations. They also simulated pre-industrial and present day aerosols without nudging so that the weather systems could evolve freely. In both pairs of simulations, the aerosols' impact on Earth's energy balance was estimated by comparing Earth's energy balance to each pair of pre-industrial and present day aerosol simulations.
Nudging greatly reduced the variations in the column liquid water without significantly changing the sensitivity of the column liquid water to the aerosol, thus permitting global estimates of aerosol effects on clouds in much shorter simulations.
What's Next? The researchers have shown that aerosols' effects on clouds can be isolated in shorter, efficient simulations. Next, they will use the same method in simulations that are much more computationally detailed.

Sharks' Hertl hoping to make impact against Kingsby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- San Jose Sharks forward Tomas Hertl may be an NHL rookie from the Czech Republic, but no one has to tell him about the heated rivalry that exists between his team and the Los Angeles Kings.
In a Dec. 19 game against the Kings at Staples Center, Hertl took a knee-on-knee hit from Los Angeles captain Dustin Brown. Hertl severely damaged two ligaments in his right knee, underwent surgery on Dec. 31 and missed 45 games.
Hertl returned for San Jose's final two regular-season games, and after back-to-back solid performances appears likely to be in the lineup Thursday night at SAP Center for Game 1 against the Kings (10:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC) in a Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round series.
"It's personal," Hertl said after practice Monday. "It's L.A. … For me, it's more motivation because (it's) L.A. I want to beat L.A."
After playing the Colorado Avalanche on Friday in his first game in nearly four months, Hertl couldn't help but look ahead to the postseason.
"Playoff time, it's more important, because it's L.A.," Hertl said. "I [don't] much like L.A. this season."
Hertl had 15 goals and 10 assists in 35 games before sustaining the injury. He nearly scored a goal on his first shift in his return, ripping a shot from the left faceoff circle that Colorado goaltender Reto Berra was able to deny with his glove.
"His excitement brings an added presence to our lineup," Sharks forward Tommy Wingels said. "He's really happy to be back in and we're happy for him. I think he brings an offensive punch and some enjoyment and fun to the game, and obviously his skill level and goal scoring. He's proven how capable he is. His goal scoring's great, so we're going to look forward to him continuing that."
When Hertl returned to action against Colorado, he skated on the third line with center James Sheppard and Wingels. That's where he played for much of the game Saturday against the Phoenix Coyotes, but coach Todd McLellan did use him on the top line with center Joe Thornton and forward Brent Burns, bumping left wing Joe Pavelski to third-line center.
Hertl skated with Thornton and Burns before his injury. If he rejoins that line and Pavelski centers the third line, San Jose would have depth up the middle against a very deep Kings lineup.
McLellan, however, said he hadn't decided whether Hertl will even be in the lineup Thursday.
"He's only played six periods, probably 20 minutes of hockey, since the middle of December," McLellan said. "If he can come in and contribute and be a positive influence on the game, then he'll play. If not, we'll have some decisions to make."
McLellan said he liked the "sense of timing" Hertl showed on the ice in his past two games.
"When you don't have that sense of timing, you don't feel what's going on around you. It can be dangerous to you as an individual," McLellan said. "It certainly doesn't help the team. I've viewed the two games and watched them, and I think he has a pretty good sense of that. His practice time has allowed him to feel it a little bit. But again, it's a different monster when the playoffs roll around in comparison to the last two games of the regular season."
Hertl said his knee was "a little bit tired and sore" after playing back-to-back games. A day off Sunday helped.
"Now it feels much better, and I am ready to start the playoffs," said Hertl, who skated with Sheppard and Wingels during practice.
Sheppard and Wingels gave Hertl high marks for his performance against Colorado and Phoenix after being out for so long.
"He's very smart for being as young as he is on the ice," Sheppard said. "It's great because you can rely on him to get pucks out and be good on the boards and things like that. It's great playing with him. It's a lot of fun. When he finally gets the game speed back, which we could see a lot of it last game, when he gets it back fully he's going to be on fire, I think."
Wingels said Hertl is "ready" for the playoffs.
"He's a big kid, big and strong," Wingels said. "He's shown in the past couple games he can win battles and engage in those battles in the corners and along the boards, and that's what this series is going to be. And Tomas' game is very good in those areas."
For Hertl and the Sharks, the series against Los Angeles will also be about payback.
"He wasn't happy about it, we weren't happy about it," Wingels said of Brown's hit on Hertl. "He's aware that it was against the Kings. He would love to stick it to them by winning the series."

Technorati tags:
Ah!! I've been wondering if we have those here! I saw such beautiful clusters of these along the roads in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania when we were up that way in May! I'd love to add some to my back yard if it's a native plant!
Thanks for the pic!
You have such a beautiful countryside. Keep photographing it!
WIP, I think this is "pasture rose", as opposed to "prairie rose" which is another native wild rose seen across much of the U.S.
There's also a multiflora rose that's often seen growing wild. It's pretty, but non-native and very invasive. Some places it gets to be quite a problem.
John, I have been slacking off a little on posting photos. Thanks for the encouragement! :)

Anthem Soul
Travel Stories: James Brown tunes seep through walls in a Syrian hotel. Rolf Potts listens in and finds new meaning in "Sex Machine."
I am walking past the room of the young Russian couple when I hear the sound. Steady, rhythmic, it leaks out softly into the hall of our claptrap Aleppo hotel. Checking first to make sure no one is watching, I stop and press my ear to the door. My heart is soon pounding with joy, but I fear what would happen if one of the Russians suddenly opened the door and saw me hunched there.
Improvising a plan, I jog out to the hotel veranda and fetch a white plastic lawn chair. Placing it just next to the Russians' door, which is across the hall from my own, I take a seat, looking casual—my ear cocked to catch the dim throb of sound. For a moment, I hear nothing—just the noises of the Syrian evening drifting in from outside. Then, faintly, the sound resumes. Shuddering with pleasure, I rest my head against the wall, thinking this must be how addicts feel when they loosen the rubber tubing and let the heroin drift into their bloodstream.
I am not eavesdropping on illicit couplings or mystical incantations, but a poorly recorded tape of James Brown songs: "Popcorn," "Sex Machine," "Give it Up or Turn it Loose." There are some other songs, too, but I don't know the names because I'm not that familiar with Brown's music.
Two years ago, possibly even one year ago, such old American music wouldn't have had this kind of effect on me. Since I started a two-year journey through Asia early last year, however, I have been conducting a musical experiment, and this has changed the way I listen to the world.
The experiment has been fairly straightforward: For the past 16 months, I've been traveling without a Walkman or music tapes. The only music I hear from day to day is what's being played in the streets, in restaurants, or at the occasional live performance. The original idea behind this was that I didn't want to trap my new experiences into the narrow frame of my established musical tastes. Rather, I wanted to keep my mind open and discover the music of the cultures I was visiting.
This has yielded curious results. I have indeed experienced the exotic novelties of foreign music as I travel, but I've found that these songs ultimately blend into the background of the day-to-day scenery. Instead, what I have truly discovered—in the rare, ecstatic moments that it's available on the road—is American music.
To a certain extent, these vivid jolts of American songsmanship have come out of my indie-rock pedigree: Elliott Smith's "Speed Trials" in an expat's apartment in Ho Chi Minh City; Public Enemy's "Lost at Birth" in a Pusan pub; the Pixies' "Where is My Mind?" at a "Fight Club" screening in Cairo. But I've found that older American tunes—songs that I've never previously embraced—have had a much more powerful effect on me. Listening to Louis Armstrong's "Mack the Knife" in Ulan Bator, Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" in Beirut, or James Brown's "Sex Machine" here in Aleppo, I feel like I've tapped into an energy, an inner passion I've never experienced in this way before.
And that passion, I believe, is patriotism.
Yesterday, I was sitting on the veranda of this same hotel when the evening call to prayer went out over the city of Aleppo. So numerous are the mosques in this northern Syrian city that the shouts of the muezzins blended together into one apocalyptic hum. As the chants of "Allahu-akbar" ("God is great!") reached a crescendo, I imagined how this could be a beautiful sound to Muslim ears. At the same time, however, it seemed that the Islamic call to prayer was serving a social function more than a spiritual one. After all, any reasonably devout Muslim can remember when to pray, and he shouldn't need much imagination to realize that God is great. Therefore, I'd wager that the call of the muezzin isn't an exercise in Islamic devotion so much it is an exercise in Islamic unity: Five times a day, it reminds everybody, devout or not, of what the ideal is.
In the same way, traditional patriotism in America has mostly been appropriated for social purposes: It simplifies complicated ideals such as inclusion, adaptation, and sacrifice into a neatly packaged impulse. This impulse, of course, is a handy kind of marketing tool for things like wars, elections, and professional sports.
Take away those marketed goals, however, and the traditional symbols of American patriotism can ring a bit hollow. The official American anthem is a good example. First written more than 185 years ago, Francis Scott Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner" was originally an ode to defiance written when America was a young, insecure nation that had recently had its capital torched by British troops. And while the first verse is innocuous enough to let modern Americans sing along and envision the Stars and Stripes fluttering at a fireworks demonstration, the song turns decidedly vengeful by its seldom-sung third stanza: "Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution, / No refuge could save the hireling and slave / From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave."
That's the kind of lyric that, when accompanied by rap music, gets condemned in congressional hearings. For some reason, however, this doesn't really matter: We feel patriotic when we sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" not because it's relevant or inspiring, but because we're supposed to feel so.
However, just as Aleppo's Muslims can find sublime epiphanies outside the mosque, I keep discovering my patriotic anthems within warmer, more infectious rhythms. And that's why James Brown has turned me into an eavesdropper here in Aleppo. At moments like this, I don't just feel more American: I feel like I'm part of a greater conspiracy of magic and genius.
And that, in a way, keeps me centered as I travel from place to place in Asia. On the road, days are distinct for their diversions, and not for their position on the calendar. It's not the Fourth of July as I write this, but it may as well be: With James Brown just audible from behind the door of my Russian neighbors, I pledge allegiance to the flag—not out of duty, history or politics—but because I got soul, and I'm superbad.

Redskins tight end Chris Cooley has taken to his blog (and his Facebook status) to let the world know that he's not getting traded. Especially not to Cleveland. Barf.
Since Jay Cutler is doing everything in his power outside of banging Pat Bowlen's wife in the middle of Invesco Field to show his displeasure with the current Broncos' regime, plenty of trade rumors have sprouted. Cutler to Detroit. Cutler to Minnesota. Cutler to Chicago. Cutler for McNabb. Then there was the scenario which had the Broncos shipping Cutler and tight end Tony Scheffler to the Skins for Cooley and quarterback Jason Campbell. Another three-way scenario had Cooley heading to Cleveland and the Broncos getting Brady Quinn. That one, more than anything, had Cooley a little annoyed:
Trade talk is a weird wake up at 6:30. Obviously something was said between teams to cause this internet trading shit storm. I would be pissed if I got my ass shipped to Cleveland. But seriously, when the internet is the first news I hear about something this big I would hope it to be speculation. Really, it could have been a couple owners bullshitting and joking around about guys and someone leaked it. No big deal. I would be blown away to hear anything more. It is nice to read extreme skins posts about not wanting me to go. Thanks!
By the way, I do get to hang out with John Elway a little bit this weekend at the Dulles Sports Expo in Chantilly VA. I'm gonna bring a ball and ask him to smoke one for me.
As of now, Redskins fans can breathe a sigh of relief that their popular tight end isn't going anywhere. Maybe instead they should have some concern about his planned ball-smoking activities with John Elway. That sounds like an injury waiting to happen.

Rustic Rosemary Herb Crackers
Crackers are one of those things I know how to make, and I know it's easy to make, but I always end up buying instead. But this weekend I decided to stop being lazy and make a batch, and they turned out delicious! These babies are gluten free and of course vegan, and they make a great portable snack.
Just blend together some chickpea flour, some ground flax, baking soda, a bit of olive oil, and some dried herbs and you'll have a nice ball of dough. Sandwich it between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out (make sure it will still fit on a cookie sheet).
Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut it into 1″x1″ (or so) squares – you can of course be all tidy about it, but I like to just roll it out and cut them however and then add "rustic" to the recipe title. Much easier! Poke a few holes in each cracker with a fork so they don't puff up in the oven.
Then pop it in the oven at 350 for about 15-20 minutes or so, or until they are just starting to brown around the edges.
Snap them apart and lay them out on a plate.
Serve with hummus, mock salmon pate, garlic dip, or anything you like.
Rustic Rosemary and Herb Crackers (Vegan, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Low Fat)
- 1 c. chickpea flour (besan)
- 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 c. water (or more, as needed)
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix until a dough forms. Add a bit more water or chickpea flour as needed to get a workable dough. Sandwich the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll out – try to get them as thin as possible, about 1/8-1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1″x1″ squares, poking holes in each cracker to prevent them from puffing. Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes, until the edges are starting to brown and the crackers are firm.

This looks so simple! Adding it to my to-try list. Thanks!
I adore crackers, and I won't have to feel guilty about indulging with this recipe. Even better, no preservatives like the crackers you purchase at the store.
Yum! These look really good – I've been looking for more recipes with chickpea flour, so thanks
This is just my kind of baking good. Can't wait to try it. Cheers and thanks for the recipe!
I'm so very baking such crackers
What other type of flour can be used for this recipe.?I am unable to find chickpea flour.
I have whole wheat so I will let you know how it goes. Thanks so much!
These look wonderful. I love the fact that they're gluten free–it's so hard to find real CRUNCHY stuff that's gluten free. I'm going to try these soon!
Oh I can't wait to make these this weekend! My husband can't have corn and I can't do gluten and eggs. This is exactly what we need!! Thanks
These look fabulous… there is so little FRESH and TASTY in the world of gluten free crackers widely available… question: Why dried hergs? What would happen if you used fresh… too much moisture?
I didnt think that making crckers is so easy!! Thanks for wonderful recipe!
This looks awesome! I'll try these crackers with gluten-free flour mix.
I made these crackers last weekend for a special dinner with friends. They were definitely a hit. I made my chickpea flour with my Vitamix dry container in about 30 seconds. No problems with the recipie – great instructions! These crackers will be a 'regular' in our house. Thanks for sharing. YUM!
YUM ~ I have never cooked with Chick pea flour, but will try this. I'm looking for a gluten free cracker recipe and allergic to everything. I don't recommend cooking ground flax seeds, since their delicate oils have been exposed. This is why flax oil is stored in the cooler section of health stores. It oxidizes very quickly with light/heat and becomes toxic to our cells ~ thank you for the recipe and beautiful photos!
They look like a nice easy recipe to try.

Page 3
Page 3 is a colloquial term for a feature formerly included in the British tabloid newspaper The Sun. The phrase originates with the publication of a large photograph of a topless, bare-breasted female glamour model usually published on the print edition's third page. The feature first appeared in the newspaper on 17 November 1970 and on the official Page 3 website since June 1999, which it still continues. The terms "Page 3" and "Page Three" are registered trademarks of News UK, parent company of The Sun, although the feature has been imitated in Britain's other 'red top' tabloids and by newspapers internationally.
Page 3 was popular with Sun readers, but it also attracted sustained controversy. Critics argued that Page 3 objectifies and demeans women, while others believe that it should not appear in a generally circulated national newspaper. Some campaigners advocated for legislation to ban Page 3, while others have tried to convince newspaper editors to voluntarily drop the feature or modify it so that models no longer appear topless. The No More Page 3 campaign was launched in 2012.
The Irish edition of The Sun dropped topless Page 3 models in August 2013. After several days of non-appearance, an article appeared in stablemate The Times on 19 January 2015 indicating that the UK editions were dropping the feature too.[1][2] The 22 January 2015 edition, in what became a one-off revival, was the last to include the feature.[3][4]
Beginnings and early years
When Rupert Murdoch relaunched the flagging Sun newspaper in tabloid format on 17 November 1969, he began publishing photographs of clothed glamour models on its third page. The first edition featured that month's Penthouse Pet, Ulla Lindstrom, wearing a suggestively unbuttoned shirt. Page 3 photographs over the following year were often provocative, but did not feature nudity.
Whether it was editor Larry Lamb or Murdoch who decided to introduce the Page 3 feature is disputed, but on 17 November 1970, the tabloid celebrated its first anniversary by publishing a photograph of 20-year-old German model Stephanie Rahm in her "birthday suit" (i.e., in the nude).[5][6] Sitting in a field with one of her breasts visible from the side, Rahn was photographed by Beverley Goodway, who became The Sun's principal Page 3 photographer until he retired in 2003.[7][8] Lamb thought the models featured should be "nice girls" and believed that "big-breasted girls look like tarts".[9] Intended to be a feature which was "breezy, not sleazy", Chris Horrie wrote in 1995 that it was planned as comparable to the naturism of Health and Efficiency magazine rather than top-shelf pornography titles.[10]
Page 3 was not a strictly daily feature at the beginning of the 1970s.[11] The Sun only gradually began to feature Page 3 models in more overtly topless poses, with their nipples clearly visible. The feature, and the paper's other sexual content, quickly led to The Sun being banned from some public libraries, the first such decision being taken by a Conservative council in Sowerby Bridge, Yorkshire. In this case, the decision was reversed after a series of local stunts organised by the newspaper, and a change in the council's political orientation in 1971.[12][13]
The feature is partly credited with the increased circulation that established The Sun as one of the most popular newspapers in the United Kingdom by the mid-1970s.[14] In an effort to compete with The Sun, the Daily Mirror and Daily Star tabloids also began publishing images of topless women, although the Daily Mirror stopped featuring topless models in the 1980s, deeming the photographs demeaning to women.
Since the mid-1990s
The Sun made some stylistic changes to Page 3 in the mid-1990s. It became standard to print Page 3 photographs in colour rather than in black and white. Captions to Page 3 photographs, which previously contained sexually suggestive double entendre, were replaced by a simple listing of models' first names, ages, and hometowns. After polling its readers, The Sun also instituted a policy of only featuring models with natural breasts in 1997.[5] Although The Sun ordinarily features only one Page 3 model in each edition, a pictorial sometimes shows two or more women posed together. A special pictorial in 2009 to celebrate 40 years of Page 3 lined up 15 Page 3 women posed together.[citation needed]
In June 1999, The Sun launched its official Page 3 website, Page3.com, which features the tabloid's daily Page 3 girl in three different poses, including the photograph published in the printed edition. On 1 August 2013, coinciding with the launch of the subscription-based website Sun+, the official Page 3 website became accessible only to Sun+ subscribers.
Before 2003, British tabloids sometimes featured 16- and 17-year-old girls as topless models. Samantha Fox, Maria Whittaker, Debee Ashby, and others began their topless modelling careers in The Sun when they were 16, while the Daily Sport was even known to count down the days until it would feature a girl topless on her 16th birthday, as it did with Linsey Dawn McKenzie in 1994.
During her tenure as deputy editor of The Sun, Rebekah Brooks (then Wade) argued that Page 3 lowered the newspaper's circulation because women readers found the feature offensive. When she became the tabloid's first female editor in January 2003, she was widely expected either to terminate the feature or to modify it so that models would no longer appear topless. However, Brooks changed her position and became a staunch advocate of the feature.[8][15] She later wrote an editorial defending Page 3 from its critics, calling its models "intelligent, vibrant young women who appear in The Sun out of choice and because they enjoy the job."[16] Guardian journalist Hadley Freeman in 2005, accused Brooks of having "played up" Page 3 by introducing the "News in Briefs" caption (a paragraph attributing the newspaper's editorial views to the Page 3 model).[17][18] The caption was removed in June 2013 when David Dinsmore took over as editor.[19]
Controversies and campaigns
Critics usually consider Page 3 to demean and objectify women, as softcore pornography[6] that is inappropriate for publication in a national newspaper readily available to children. Some campaigners have sought legislation to have Page 3 banned. Others, wary of calling for government censorship of the press, have sought to convince newspaper editors and owners to voluntarily remove the feature or modify it so that it no longer featured a topless female model.
A YouGov survey carried out in October 2012 found marked differences in attitude toward Page 3 among readers of different newspapers. 61% of Sun readers wished to retain the feature, while 24% said that the newspaper should stop showing Page 3 women. However, only 4% of Guardian readers said The Sun should keep Page 3, while 86% said it should be abolished. The poll also found notable differences by gender, with 48% of men overall saying that Page 3 should be retained, but just 17% of women taking that position.[20]
Political campaigners for legislative action against Page 3 have included Labour Party MPs Clare Short and Harriet Harman, Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, and Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. The Sun has responded to such campaigns with mockery. When Short tried in 1986 to introduce a House of Commons bill banning topless models from British newspapers, The Sun branded her "killjoy Clare."[21] When Short renewed her campaign against Page 3 in 2004, The Sun superimposed her face on a Page 3 model's body and accused her of being "fat and jealous."[16] The Sun also branded Harman a "feminist fanatic" and Featherstone a "battleaxe" because of their stances against Page 3.[22]
Elsewhere tabloids have eliminated topless models voluntarily, as the Daily Mirror did in the 1980s.
In August 2012, Lucy-Anne Holmes, a writer and actress from Brighton, began a grassroots social media campaign called No More Page 3 with the goal of convincing The Sun's editors to voluntarily remove Page 3 from the newspaper. Holmes stated that she began the campaign after noticing that despite the achievements of Britain's women athletes in the 2012 Summer Olympics, the largest photograph of a woman in the nation's biggest-selling newspaper was "a massive image of a beautiful young woman in her knickers."[23] Holmes further argued that Page 3 perpetuates the outdated sexist norms of the 1970s, portrays women as sex objects, negatively affects girls' and women's body image, and contributes to a culture of sexual violence against women and girls.[24] Some commentators, such as Kira Cochrane in The Guardian, have been supportive of Holmes' goals[25] although commentators in publications such as the Telegraph and New Statesman have criticised the campaign, calling it "censorious" and "sinister."[26][27]
At the Liberal Democrats party conference in September 2012, former MP Evan Harris with the support of others, lent support to Holmes' campaign by proposing a party motion to "[tackle] the projection of women as sex objects to children and adolescents by restricting sexualised images in newspapers and general circulation magazines to the same rules that apply to pre-watershed broadcast media."[28] However, party leader and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg distanced himself from the motion. In an October 2012 radio interview, Clegg said he did not support a legislative ban on Page 3, believing that government in a liberal society should not dictate the content of newspapers. "If you don't like it, don't buy it … you don't want to have a moral policeman or woman in Whitehall telling people what they can and cannot see," Clegg stated.[29]
The Leveson Inquiry heard arguments for and against Page 3. Representatives of women's groups (including Object and the End Violence Against Women Coalition) argued that Page 3 was part of an endemic culture of tabloid sexism that routinely objectified and sexualised women. The inquiry also heard testimony from Sun editor Dominic Mohan, who argued that Page 3 was an "innocuous British institution" that had become a "part of British society."[30] The Leveson report concluded that arguments over Page 3, and the representation of women in the tabloid press more generally, raised "important and sensitive issues which merit further consideration by any new regulator."[31]
In February 2013, Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News International, parent group of the Sun, stated on social networking site Twitter that he was considering replacing Page 3 with a "halfway house," whereby Page 3 would feature clothed glamor photographs, but not bare breasts.[32]
In June 2013, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas defied parliamentary dress code to wear a T-shirt bearing the slogan "No More Page Three" during a House of Commons debate on media sexism. Arguing that The Sun newspaper should be removed from sale in Parliament until it dropped the feature, she said that "if Page Three still hasn't been removed from The Sun by the end of this year, I think we should be asking the government to step in and legislate." Culture minister Ed Vaizey responded by stating that the government did not plan to regulate the content of the press.[33] Later that month, newly appointed Sun editor David Dinsmore confirmed that he would continue printing photographs of topless women on Page 3, calling it "a good way of selling newspapers."[34]
In August 2013, citing "cultural differences" between the UK and Ireland, Paul Clarkson, editor of The Sun's Irish Republic edition, announced that he would no longer print images of topless models on Page 3. The Irish Sun now features images of glamour models with their breasts covered.[35][36] The No More Page 3 campaign called the decision "a huge step in the right direction," and thanked Clarkson "for taking the lead in the dismantling of a sexist institution," and called on Dinsmore to follow suit with the newspaper's UK edition.[37]
The hopes of campaigners were further raised when Rupert Murdoch, in his Twitter feed in September 2014 suggested the Page 3 feature was "old fashioned." Eighteen months earlier on twitter "glamorous fashionistas" (i.e., clothed).[38] Murdoch affirmed that the feature would eventually end in an interview for India Today magazine in 1994. While defending it from criticism, he said: "But show it to me in any other newspaper I own. Never in America, never in Australia. Never. Never. Never. It just would not be accepted."[5][6]
The end of the Page 3 feature
The feature in the British newspaper was reported as having been scrapped in 2015 with the edition of 16 January supposedly the last to carry the feature, after a 20 January article in The Times, another Murdoch paper, said that a decision had been made to end Page 3 in the present incarnation.[5][1][39]
On 22 January 2015, after an absence of six days, The Sun returned to publishing shots of topless female models. A notice appeared in the issue: "Further to recent reports in all other media outlets, we would like to clarify that this is Page 3 and this is a picture of Nicole, 22, from Bournemouth. We would like to apologise on behalf of the print and broadcast journalists who have spent the last two days talking and writing about us."[3] In the evening of 21 January, Dylan Sharpe, the head of public relations at The Sun tweeted: "I said that it was speculation and not to trust reports by people unconnected to the Sun. A lot of people are about to look very silly ... "[40]
The apparent ending of the feature gained much attention in the British press. Clare Short thought that the dropping of topless photographs on Page 3 of The Sun "is an important public victory for dignity."[41] As Caroline Lucas explained in an article for The Independent: "So long as The Sun reserves its right to print the odd topless shot, and reserve its infamous page for girls clad in bikinis, the conversation isn't over."[42] After the re-appearance of Page 3 after nearly a week's absence, Lucy-Anne Holmes tweeted: "So it seems the fight might be back on."[40]
The edition of 22 January saw the return of a topless Page 3 model, but this revival has turned out to be a one-off.[4]

FALCONs comprehensive, full-time approach to Chinese
instruction is designed to build the linguistic foundation,
cultural understanding, and real-world skills that students need to
function independently in
The full-year program in Chinese consists of an introductory level in the
summer, intermediate level in the fall, and advanced level in the
spring. Students need not enroll in the entire full-year program to
participate in FALCON. Instead, some students enroll in the summer course to get
an intensive introduction to the language, then either go to China or
continue in regular, non-intensive courses.
Students who can demonstrate appropriate knowledge of the language can join the program at non-introductory levels (fall or spring). However, because introductory programs differ widely in content and methodology, completing an introductory course elsewhere does not necessarily enable students to qualify for the intermediate fall FALCON program. Students without the necessary background are normally required to begin their study in the summer if they do not test into a higher level offered in the fall or spring FALCON courses.

Hendrick: "There's No Room At The Inn" For Earnhardt
Saturday, May 19th 2007, 6:31 PM CDT
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) _ Cross Hendrick Motorsports off the list of teams interested in signing Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Although he's spoken to Earnhardt, car owner Rick Hendrick said Saturday ``there's no room at the inn'' for NASCAR's most popular driver.
Earnhardt is leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc., his late father's company, at the end of the season. He wants to stay with one of the top Chevrolet teams so he can contend for championships, and Hendrick is the best in NASCAR right now with eight wins in the past nine Nextel Cup races.
Richard Childress Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing are the next best Chevy teams, and both owners have indicated they are interested in speaking with Earnhardt. Only Hendrick had been silent on the issue, but as he walked toward pit road before Saturday night's Nextel All-Star Challenge, he said he was maxed out with four drivers right now and couldn't fit Earnhardt in his stable.
``We're good friends and I've talked to him, because I really want him to make the best decision and do the best thing for himself,'' Hendrick told The Associated Press. ``But right now, I'm full.''
Hendrick fields Cup cars for four-time series champion Jeff Gordon, defending Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch and Casey Mears. All are under contract through at least 2008, and Hendrick is currently trying to extend Busch's deal.
Hendrick said he's offered to help Earnhardt if he elects to field his own Cup team.
``I've talked to him about doing motors and cars if he wants to do this himself,'' Hendrick said. ``But that's really all we've discussed.''
Earnhardt owns JR Motorsports, which fields a Busch Series team and several late model cars. He hasn't ruled out running his own team, but Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, his sister and business manager, said Friday that expanding JRM to the Cup Series was their last option.
In his seventh season with DEI, Earnhardt is frustrated by his inability to win a championship and his difficult relationship with his stepmother, Teresa. He asked for 51 percent ownership during contentious contract negotiations, and walked away from the table last week because the two sides ``were never in the same ballpark.''
It made him the most coveted free agent in NASCAR history, but getting a deal done might not be so simple, after all.
JGR president J.D. Gibbs said his family would have a hard time signing Budwesier, Earnhardt's longtime sponsor, because of its family values focus. And now Hendrick appears to be out of the race, as well.

Galatasaray striker Didier Drogba has revealed he is eager to win a second Champions League winners' medal.
The Cote d'Ivoire frontman led Chelsea to a surprise victory in last season's tournament, scoring the winning penalty in a dramatic final victory over Bayern Munich, and wants to experience the sensation of winning Europe's top prize once more.
"It's a big pleasure to play in the Champions League," he told TRT Spor.
"To hear that music makes me excited. I want to win the cup and live those emotions again. Our faith brought us to this level. I have moved one step forward in my football career."
The former Olympique de Marseille man has only scored once since moving to the Turkish champions from Shanghai Shenhua in January, and insists there is room for improvement in his game.
"Even though I am 35-years-old I do still have things to improve. For example, I am not so good at heading the ball," he added.
Galatasaray face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of this season's tournament.

Networking, Security, And Grand Unified Theory
Posted by
Tom Hollingsworth
April 11, 2014
Security has been a hot topic in the networking world recently. For example, Martin Casado, CTO of networking at VMware, has been talking quite a bit about his vision for security. He appeared on the keynote stage with Pat Gelsinger at Interop Las Vegas and talked at length about the increasing amount of IT spending focused on security. He also laid the groundwork for his next big project, namely the integration of open policy-driven security through initiatives such as the OpenStack Congress project.
Casado's shift from open networking to security should not be surprising. He was once involved in the intelligence community early in his career, so he's well versed in security. Many think that this move signals his departure from the networking he has spent the last few years building. I believe it's exactly the opposite.
In the world of physics, there exists an idea that the fundamental forces of the universe are actually very similar in a given energy state. This has been proven time and again via experimentation no matter how dissimilar they may initially look. This Grand Unified Theory works because these forces behave in the same predictable manner at a high-energy level.
On the surface, networking and security seem very different. Networking is fundamentally about the delivery of packets from one location to another. IT security is more about making sure packets don't get delivered based on a set of conditions. The two ideas couldn't be more different. Or could they?
What Casado is suggesting with his policy-based security could apply equally to networking as well. Why should restricting packet flows be the domain of security? Why should the network only be concerned with delivery? The context of a policy allows the systems to determine if a packet should be delivered or not. There is no need for external firewalls or detection devices. Security is integrated into the network, just as the fundamental forces are integrated at a high energy state.
This software-defined Unified Theory makes networking and security the same. Policy will determine how best to utilize resources for delivery or non-delivery. The constructs created to handle these decisions -- firewalls, IPS, and other devices -- will cease to exist as their functions are integrated into the larger network. This is only possible due to the integration of security features due to software.
[Read about other use cases Martin Casado envisions for network virtualization in "VMware's Casado: Network Virtualization The Right Way."]
The basis for these ideas has already been explored in VMware's NSX; you can attach firewalls and load balancing devices to the end host with little added effort. The security is integrated into the network hypervisor.
The implications of this integration are huge for both the networking and security teams in IT organizations. Now, both teams can rapidly deploy services and applications without confusion and delay. Plain language can be used to describe outcomes without worrying about syntax issues between a security access control entry and a network access control list. Security is also an inherent part of the system at all levels rather than being spread thinly to critical areas.
The end result for physics and IT are the same. By understanding the higher order interactions of the individual forces in the world, we gain a clearer picture of their behavior and can better plan for the future. As we learn how security and networking are linked and behave as one, our future systems will contain both elements in the correct proportions.

He has worked with wireless, storage, and server virtualization in addition to routing and switching. Recently, Tom has switched careers to focus on technology blogging and social media outreach as a part of Gestalt IT media. Tom has a regular blog at http://networkingnerd.net and can be heard on various industry podcasts pontificating about the role technology will play in the future.
