Baylor QB Griffin too much for Rice in 56-31 victory
Updated 1:05 am, Sunday, September 25, 2011
WACO — He beat them with quick, short passes and deep ones.
He beat them with speed, elusiveness and quick-thinking ability to make adjustments.
When the Rice defense did manage to touch Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, he got back up and went back to work.
Griffin accounted for six touchdowns Saturday to lead No. 17 Baylor to a 56-31 nonconference victory over the Owls before a crowd of 40,088 at Floyd Casey Stadium.
The 56 points were the most scored by either team in the series that dates to 1914.
"Robert Griffin is one of the greatest I've ever seen," Rice coach David Bailiff said. "What he has worked himself into this season compared to last year is just frightening where he can take his game."
Griffin made another early-season case for Heisman Trophy consideration, completing 29 of 33 passes for 338 yards and five touchdowns before exiting the game in the third quarter.
He also had 51 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Bears improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2005.
The Bears built a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter and were never challenged as the Owls surrendered 655 yards total offense. Griffin completed touchdown passes of 4, 29, 17, 10 and 64 yards. Kendall Wright had a game-high 11 receptions for 108 yards and one touchdown.
More Information
Hard knocks: Cornerback Phillip Gaines and kick returner Charles Ross left the game with mild concussions, Rice coach David Bailiff said.
Sharpshooter: For the season, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III has more touchdown passes (13) than incomplete passes (12).
Crowded house: With a crowd of 40,088, Baylor has recorded three straight home crowds of at least 40,000.
"We knew how explosive they were," said Rice quarterback Taylor McHargue, who was 23-of-38 for 260 yards and two touchdowns and one interception. "We understood offensively we needed to control the play clock, and we didn't do a good job of that in the first quarter. And it showed."
Costly gaffes
The Owls (1-2) committed two turnovers that led to Baylor touchdowns, including a fumble on a kickoff by Charles Ross that triggered a 14-point swing during a 41-second span in the first quarter. The other — a 55-yard interception return — came after the Owls made a fourth down-and-2 stand and trailed 35-17 early in the third quarter.
Along with the two turnovers, Rice also had nine penalties for 93 yards, including a pair of 15-yard late-hit penalties that extended eventual first-half Baylor scoring drives. Rice also had three dropped passes, two coming on third down.
"You can't have the type of mental errors we had to get some of those penalties and walk out of here with a win," Bailiff said. "Walking in, we needed to have flawless execution."
No pressure
Bailiff said the Owls "tried to pick and choose" when to blitz Griffin while also being cautious of his ability to break a big play. Rice senior defensive end Scott Solomon said it came down to the defensive line "not getting any pressure really."
"A young man like Robert Griffin, " Bailiff said, "it's like you're playing with 13 people with what he can do with his arm and his feet and his mind. He makes great decisions."
Ahead 35-17 at halftime, Baylor had a pair of big scoring strikes in the third quarter.
McHargue's pass deflected off wide receiver Vance McDonald's left shoulder, and Baylor defensive back Ahmad Dixon scored on a 55-yard return. On the Bears' next possession, Griffin needed only three plays to find the end zone, hooking up with Tevin Reese for a 64-yard touchdown.
McDonald had two touchdown catches, and Andre Gautreaux had a 19-yard touchdown reception, the first of his career, for the Owls.
Jeremy Eddington scored on a 2-yard run for his first TD of the season.

Biological weapons: ICRC appeals to States, scientists and industry
21-11-2006 Statement
At the Sixth Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention (Geneva, 20.11 - 8.12.2006), the ICRC has called for renewed efforts by States, scientists and the biotechnology industry to ensure universal adoption and effective implementation of the treaty.
Statement by Brigitte Troyon, Deputy Director for International Law and Cooperation within the Movement , to the Sixth Review Conference of the States Parties to the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction, Geneva 20 November – 8 December 2006
The International Committee of the Red Cross very much appreciates the opportunity to address delegations here today.
A Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention is an opportunity to recall the ultimate objective of this Convention, as stated in its preamble: "to exclude completely the possibility of biological agents and toxins being used as weapons". Both the urgency and complexity of achieving this objective increases each year as our lives and societies are increasingly shaped by what has been called the "age of biotechnology".
It is also important to recall that this Convention is intended to serve the interests of all humanity. Its origins are not only in the disarmament field but can be traced directly to the 1925 Geneva Protocol - a landmark of international humanitarian law. Evidence of the customary law status of the prohibition on use of biological weapons can be found in the background research supporting the ICRC's study of Customary International Humanitarian Law, published last year. These legal norms, in turn, are underpinned by a long-standing taboo against poisoni ng and the deliberate spread of disease. The law in this field is a formalisation of the abhorrence which all of us feel at even the idea of being attacked or inflicting harm with germs. The cornerstone of actions by this Review Conference should be an unambiguous reaffirmation in the final declaration of the obligation of States Parties to respect and ensure respect for the absolute prohibition of biological weapons.
There have been two major changes in the environment in which the Convention functions during the past ten years. The first is that the world is increasingly aware of just how rapid advances in life sciences and biotechnology have become. What is technically possible, for example in the domain of genetic engineering, was unimaginable ten years ago. New breakthroughs and technologies in the life sciences have promising applications with enormous potential to benefit humanity. But they will also make poisoning and the deliberate spread of disease easier, more lethal, more target-specific and more difficult to detect.
The second major development since the last Review Conference has perhaps been less visible but is no less important. The prevention of poisoning and the deliberate spread of disease is seen now as an essentially multidisciplinary endeavour involving not only delegates to the BWC meetings but also the public health sector, life scientists, industry, law enforcement agencies and the defence and the security community. Since 2001, as a result of numerous conferences on issues relating to biological weapons, the BWC intersessional meetings of experts and perhaps also as a result of the ICRC's initiative on " Biotechnolgy, Weapons and Humanity " a wide range of new actors have come to understand and take responsibility for preventing the use of biological agents and toxins as weapons.
This does not mean however, that the BWC is redundant. The BWC is the central pillar and authoritative normat ive basis of multidisciplinary preventive efforts. Given the fantastic advances in life sciences and biotechnology, the importance of the BWC extends beyond the "disarmament" field. It is the best and only basis for building an effective "web of prevention" which may protect humanity from poisoning and the deliberate spread of disease in the future.
Against this background the International Committee of the Red Cross urges States Parties at this Review Conference to turn their attention to a range of measures aimed at reinforcing the Convention over the coming five years. These include:
increased efforts to ensure universal adherence to the BWC;
increased engagement of all relevant national actors in implementation and preventive efforts;
the adoption of national implementing legislation, where it does not yet exist;
the establishment of a series of BWC expert meetings and Meetings of States Parties which will consider inter alia recent scientific developments, the strengthening and possible extension of confidence-building measures and the responsibilities of life scientists and industry;
an improved system for ensuring the timely preparation and accessibility of reports on previously agreed confidence-building measures; and lastly
increased administrative support to assist States in implementing their BWC obligations.
Mr President,
To be effective in the 21st Century, the BWC must not only be known and respected by government officials but must also be understood and "implemented" by all stakeholders in the life sciences - whether they are in academia, defence or industry. A broad understanding of the risks associated with the advances in life sciences and biotechnology, combined with the creation of a "culture of responsibility" within the scientific community is the most direct and effective means to ensure that humanity ultimately benefits from new advances. There is an obvious need to ensure that all universities offering curricula in life sciences include at least one mandatory session on the risks, the pertinent rules of national and international law and the responsibilities of scientists to prevent the hostile use of their research and its practical applications. The ICRC urges States Parties at this Conference to explicitly call on life scientists, their associations and the entire biotechnology industry to join them as indispensable partners in their efforts to "exclude completely" the possibility of biological agents and toxins being used as weapons.Read also the press release : Biological weapons: ICRC calls for concerted efforts to prevent use

Message From Legal Counsel Disaster Recovery Division - June 2011
New Debris Management and Procurement Guides Now Available
As part of its core mission, GOHSEP works diligently to obtain homeland security and disaster related grants for applicants. Obtaining those grant funds is only half and usually the easiest part of the equation. Many applicants experience significant challenges in keeping those grant funds received.
Repeatedly, there are two areas which have consistently proven to be difficult for applicants and are chronic causes for de-obligation. They are debris management and procurement under FEMA regulations.
In its on-going effort to provide education and training to applicants, GOHSEP has developed a Debris Management Guide and a Procurement Guide to assist applicants to successfully navigate through both of these areas. These guides are not meant as a substitute for other FEMA publications on the subject matter but are designed to address the majority of problem areas that the applicant will likely encounter.
The documents can be accessed in the Legal Library located at the bottom of this page.

Ice Cube has quietly built a solid "Hollywood" resume, with his acting and involvement in the production of films. With a number of movies under his belt, Cube recently announced during a interview that he is working on two more. Rumors of a "Friday 4"and the possibility of Chris Tucker (Smokey "Friday") being in the film were addressed by Cube. During a Shade 45 interview with Sway, Cube announced that he is currently working on a deal with "New Line Cinema" to produce "Friday 4."
He also stated that he had reached out to Chris Tucker about resuming his role as "Smokey." Cube did not sound confident in landing Chris Tucker for the film, saying it may take a "great script" to get the veteran comedian's services. There are questions of Chris Tucker, being reluctant to take the role again because of religious beliefs.
Ice Cube also announced that he is currently working on the "N.W.A." movie. From the late 80's to early 90's "N.W.A." was known as, the most controversial gansta rap group in hip-hop. The group consisted of DJ Yella, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and MC Ren. These guys did not want to conform to the "American way," and expressed themselves with their controversial lyrics. The film will hold sentimental value to Cube, being that he was a influential figure within the group. Cube stated during the interview that he was further along in the process, with the "N.W.A." movie than "Friday 4."
Ice Cube has consistently delivered quality movies to his fans and I expect the same with his newest productions. Cubes confirmation of the two movies, will create high anticipation and a crowded box office in the future. Check out the interview below.

Discussion in 'The Black & White Gallery' started by jinx, May 23, 2009.
Here's a few I took recently...
Sony A100 18-200mm
Very nice. Maybe a little contrast. But I like the compositions.
The angle on the sheep are begging for a composite. I'd like to try something kind of strange & radical if you don't mind?
Go for it. Thanks.
Cool. I'd like to preface this with what I did to one of my own shots of a llama
A Curious Beast
Here goes; (title - It Comes and Goes)
Just like to explore my idiot side
Again though. I like your images and look forward to seeing more of your work.
Did you shoot these in black & white or convert from color? Just wondering because I always shoot in color and except for once when I got lucky with one of the tenant houses these buildings look just as bad for me when I convert to B&W. It is so difficult to shoot those stark white buildings. Of course it didn't help that both times I was there it was just after high noon. I really like the angle from which you shot the springhouse - I've never been able to make that [inside or outside] look good either. You should see those sheep now - as of 2 weeks ago, stark naked! LOL Nice shots.
That's awesome abraxas! Made me lol... I need to get me one of them thar softwares, I'm just intimidated by the learning curve... Thanks again!
Dagwood I took them in color and converted to BW in Irfanview - the day before the sheep shearing. You can't see them panting in the pic, but they were. I live less than 5 mins from Hopewell/French Creek so I take a lot of pictures there.... do you go often?
The first one is outstanding
We go to Hopewell and Daniel Boone Homestead every few months, French Creek not so often because its difficult for me to walk there except by the lake [where canoes are located]. We're a stone's throw from Lake Ontelaunee, so go there more often.
The sheep were panting badly the day we were at Hopewell too so guess it was not the wool making them hot. Have you ever gotten a good shot of the furnace in the barn? [ loft like area right behind the water wheel where some old wooden wheelbarrows are stored] ? Its so dark in there except for the light that comes down through the furnace which gives a cool\creepy effect to the place. I've tried a few times to photograph it only to end up with uninteresting and crappy results.
Separate names with a comma.

Can you get rid ot the dextran sulfate by pelleting the cells in a centrifuge (5 min at 250 g) before doing RNA-extraction, repeating once or twice if necessary?

These past few months Noah and I have been lucky enough to review a Nonabox each month. I love subscription boxes and Nonabox is high up there with my favourites. It is a must have for Mum's and Mum's to be. You can subscribe here
That being said I wasn't impressed with what was in my box this month. Each month Nonabox had been getting better and better but this month was a let down I'm afraid. There was some useful things in there but compared to the previous months it just didn't meet expectations. It almost seemed like something was missing and it has lost it's spark.
Here is what was inside-
|My Name Tags £4
Shea Mooti 120ml £14.99
|Mabyland Wipe Bag £3.99
|Berry White Organic Drink £1.69
Aquaint Spray Antibacterial £2.80
Once Upon A Time Box Hat £3
Once Upon A Time Box Bib £3
Total £33.47
As the box costs £25 a month you still get your money's worth but not by much. The Once upon a time goodies are nice for a newborn but other than those two items I don't find anything else very interesting or useful. Of course the antibacterial lotion will be handy but that's about it.
Having one bad box doesn't put me off Nonabox though as their boxes are usually packed to the brim of interesting and exciting products.
- I was sent this product for the purpose of this review. All opinions are my own.

Prince's Biker Girls, Koons BMW Drive Hong Kong Week of Art
As many as 50,000 people may converge on a BMW M3 race car custom painted by Jeff Koons and thousands of other contemporary works as Hong Kong consolidates its position this week as Asia's place to buy art.
ART HK 11, the fourth edition of the Hong Kong International Art Fair, opens to the public from today through May 29 with works ranging from Pablo Picasso to Andy Warhol to contemporary Chinese painter Zeng Fanzhi. About 6,000 Veuve Clicquot-sipping VIPs got first picks at the preview yesterday.
The gathering of 260 galleries from 38 countries is part of an eight-day spending spree in the city that includes Spring auctions by Bonham's and Christie's International, a wine sale by New York-based Acker, Merrall & Condit, and gallery shows including those by Chinese performance artist Zhang Huan at Edouard Malingue and American photographer David LaChapelle at de Sarthe Fine Art.
"You better get some sleep in advance," said Nick Simunovic, director of Gagosian's Hong Kong gallery, which is simultaneously running a one-man show featuring biker girls and nurses by American artist Richard Prince and a booth at ART HK selling works by artists including Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami.
In four years, ART HK has become a major stop of the global art fair circuit, closing in on London's Frieze and Art Basel Miami Beach, which draw crowds of about 60,000 to 70,000.
"The art market tends to follow wealth and the greatest wealth is being created in Asia," said fair director Magnus Renfrew.
Roy Lichtenstein
New York's Leo Castelli Gallery is back for the second year, with works by Richard Pettibone and Roy Lichtenstein. "We feel that the Hong Kong Art fair is uniquely situated for many international collectors," said Jessica Duffett, a spokeswoman for the gallery.
Works from more than 1,000 artists range from drawings costing as little as $1,000 to multimillion dollar works by Picasso, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Hirst.
White Cube sold a work in modeled clay figurines entitled "Das Kapital is Kaput, Ya, Nein, Dummkopf" by Jake & Dinos Chapman to an Asian collector for 525,000 pounds ($850,000) within the first hour of the event.
"Mainland Chinese collectors are becoming a potent force in contemporary art, acting as a magnet for western galleries," said Bruno Bischofberger, who has brought his Zurich-based gallery to ART HK for the first time. "China itself is our main interest," said Bischofberger, who believes in planting his gallery's flag in the east with his best works.
Those include a 10-meter long work by Warhol entitled "Colored Maos," selling for about $50 million, and a Jean- Michel Basquiat work priced at $13.5 million.
David Zwirner sold paintings by Luc Tuymans (with an asking price of $1.1 million), Daniel Richter and Yan Pei-Ming, the gallery said in an e-mailed release.

Others deal with empowering people of faith, and professional development and skills building for those who have a role in LGBT campus issues.
Workshops, plenary sessions, caucuses and networking sessions take place on Friday and Saturday.
Kate Clinton is the mistress of ceremonies for the plenaries. Keynote speakers for the conference include Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and Rea Carey, executive director of NGLTF. New York writer Kai Wright will lead a panel discussion of young leaders and dance crew Vogue Evolution will rock the house for the closing plenary on Sunday.
Local presenters include Stonewall Democrats of Dallas President Erin Moore and LULAC Rainbow Chapter founder Jesse Garcia. Dallas groups such as Youth First Texas will participate in youth issue workshops and host a hospitality suite, and Congregation Beth El Binah will conduct Friday night Shabbat services.Turtle Creek Chorale artistic director Jonathan Palant said that the Chorale and Dallas PUMP! will participate in a workshop on Friday afternoon and Dallas PUMP! will perform as part of the Sunday closing plenary.
The youth hospitality committee will present Mas-Queer-Ade Ball, an alcohol-free event for all ages, on Saturday night.

Here we go, as we get closer and closer to the January transfer window the papers are going to get hotter and hotter with rumours!
The Sunday papers have two juicy rumours today, the first I like. The News Of The World claim – and I must admit isn't exactly rocket science to come up with this story – that Martin O'Neill wants to take Scott Carson on a permanent deal from Liverpool. The price mentioned is £10million. Rafa Benitez had allowed the England U21 keeper to go out on loan as his first team chances were limited but had said he didn't want to sell him. However Carson has been an ever present for Villa and has since been called up into the main England squad.
Carson has hinted before that he would be open to a permanent deal and obviously wouldn't want to return to Anfield next year to just sit on the bench again as he is hot on the heals of the hapless Spurs keeper Paul Robinson and the ageing David James for the England No 1 shirt.
The second rumour? Well, it is in The People so lets hope it is just plucked from nowhere, but I don't like it one bit!
They claim, in a story by Alan Nixon, that Chelsea are after Villa skipper Gareth Barry.
Apparently Avram Grant is after the man who replaced Frank Lampard in the England team. The price mentioned is £15million.
Now fair enough, this is all paper talk but the worry is that Frank Lampard has refused to sign a new contract with the London outfit and it is thought he might be on his way to sunny Spain. Who better to replace him than the quality that is Gareth Barry?
The People further suggest that Steve Sidwell or Shaun Wright-Phillips might be offered as part payment.
With claret and blue tinted spectacles on, I'd say never in a million years but if you were Gareth Barry, what would you do?
He is 26 years old and approaching the peak of his game, he wants to play at the highest level he can and that includes the champions league. He joined us in 1997 and hasn't once been close to winning anything with the club. He was close to going last year before the arrival of Martin O'Neill and the money of Randy Lerner. I remember his quotes before the summer transfer window saying he was excited at the prospect of top signings coming to Villa to help push Villa upwards. The same summer we saw Nigel Reo-Coker, Marlon Harewood and Mustapha Work Permit bought. Does that match his ambitions?
Gulp. I hope so.
I'd hate to see Barry go, he has been my favourite player for a good few years because when the chips are down and players go missing on the pitch, he rolls up his sleeves and gets stuck in. He is a quality player and we should build the team around him. Trouble is money talks and Chelsea money talks louder than most. If they did approach we should have SWP, Sidwell AND some money!
Might be time for the rumours thread at the top of the page soon if this gossip is the start of things to come!
Villa Star Linked With Shock Exit?
Here we go, as we get closer and closer to the January transfer window the papers are going to get hotter and hotter with rumours!

Singer John Legend is showing the world that he's more than just an amazing singer and songwriter, he's also a passionate activist who puts action behind his beliefs.
The Oscar-winning singer recently announced his new 'Free America' initiative that he launched in effort to help end mass incarceration.
According to the Associated Press, Legend will also visit a California state prison and before partnering with Politico to host an event in Washington, D.C. where he will host a rally along with other artists and organizations who want to end mass incarceration.
"I'm just trying to create some more awareness to this issue and trying to make some real change legislatively," he said. "And we're not the only ones. There are senators that are looking at this, like Rand Paul and Cory Booker; there are other nonprofits that are looking at this, and I just wanted to add my voice to that."
Legend also noted that a small victory for Free America was the passage of Proposition 47 in California last fall. The law changed the way crimes such as shoplifting, forgery, fraud, petty theft and possession of small amounts of drugs were categorized. Instead of being felonies, they are now considered misdemeanors.
"Once you have that tag of a felony on your name, it's hard for you to do anything," Legend said. "Getting those reduced to misdemeanors really impacted a lot of lives, and we hope to launch more initiatives like that around the country."
Legend addressed the issue of mass incarceration during his Oscar acceptance speech last year, saying that the U.S. is "the most-incarcerated country in the world" with "more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850."

Thank you to everyone who came out to the first general meeting! We had a great turnout. If you weren't able to make it, you can still join IBI. Below is a recap of what was covered in the meeting. If you would like to sign up for subgroups, then please fill out the form below.
History of IBI
IBI was founded as EWB local initiative in 2006. We were awarded grants and built 450 gallon system which was operational in ISTC Pilot Plant. Between 2012-2014 we lost our space and so we were looking for new space. We finally found a spot in RAL and have future plans to get space in IBRL, a new building that is being built on campus. We recently got a trailer for the biodiesel and we have new large scale soap equipment so we will be ramping up production this semester.
How We Operate
We have four main subgroups which each hold their own meetings. Anyone is welcome to come to as many or as few subgroup meetings as they would like. The four subgroups are described below.
1. Production and Testing
Production and testing is focused on make biodiesel from waste oil. The vegetable oil is obtained as waste oil from the dining halls. We currently are running one 50 gallon batch a week and hope to scale up to two batches per week soon. P&T also tests the product to make sure it meets ASTM standards. We are also looking for process improvements that can be made.
2. Soap
The soap subgroup works on taking the byproduct from the biodiesel reaction and turning it into soap. This group investigates the chemistry behind this reaction through lab experiments and works to improve the chemistry. The goal is to be able to sell the soap back to the dining halls.
Special Projects
The special projects group works on other related renewable energy related projects. Last semesters projects included repairing a biodiesel run go-kart, which we hope to further improve this semester
The finance group works on budgeting and grant writing for the organization. The group also performs economic analysis and seeks corporate sponsorship.

There isn't a New York Mets fan around that does not know the pressing needs that their team needs to address this offseason. The most detrimental are of course the outfield and the catcher positions. You might say that at the very least, if GM Sandy Alderson and the Wilpons do not find a way to upgrade in those spots, 2013 will be every bit as depressing as the second half of 2012.
The problem lies in the sad fact that there are many catchers available in the free agent market, but none of them are either in the Mets low-income price range, or are just not worth the risk when compared to what they already have. For about $2m, the Mets can keep Kelly Shoppach who seems to like being in New York and can handle the pressure of what this city will throw at him.
Now, don't get me wrong. Shoppach is not an all-star catcher by any means. But he will do just enough in order for the Mets to concentrate on other areas in order to help this team. Shoppach will be 33 in 2013 and going into his 10th MLB season. In 28 games for the Mets, Shoppach hit .276, 2 doubles, 3HRs and 10RBIs. A more striking stat is that, for the year, with bases loaded, he hit .400 and with two out and runners in scoring position, Shoppach batted a healthy .471.
If you look at his complete 2012 stats between the Boston Red Sox and the Mets, Shoppach batted .233 with 8HRs, 27RBIs and a .309OBP. I'm not saying that Shoppach will be a long term fit for the Mets, but if you can keep him cheap and give him more starts, he might be more comfortable and produce at a better clip. The options out there are so limited because of the Mets inability to pay for a better catcher.
We have learned through 2012 that Josh Thole is not the answer, but Shoppach might be able to give the Mets a decent option until 2014 or 2015 when they can spend more wisely. It will be interesting to see what Alderson and his crew of super executives can finagle, but I do believe Shoppach would be the best short term option.

This first shot of the box sees Universal's logo shrunk down and slapped on the spine, while "The Perfect Hi-Def Movie Experience" will presumably be pasted on every single BD release from the studio. Riveting, no?


text: I'm not sure if this has been asked or indeed tried before but I was thinking of having a universal rating system implemented for the critique gallery where users can vote (say out of 10 or a percentage) on specific aspects of an image. Something along the lines of - detail, composition, exposure etc.? I just feel that more rounded feedback like this as well as comments would be useful for all us budding photographers, amateurs and pros alike. Also, some users I feel may not like leaving comments in fear of offending people or they may just not know how to put it into words and not bother replying. A voting system would make this easier and probably increase the amount of feedback received. Clearly there must be specific but short guidelines set out so the system is universal and useful. Let me know what you think (especially admin!). Thanks

Hat tip: Power Line, who got it from Pamela Geller
Michael Adams
I've read some krep lately by the sort of callow youth so familiar here, to the effect that Mrs Bachmann "only took in teenagers" or "only took in babies for about three months, until they could be permanently adopted." The way one knows of the callow youthfulness is that these people seem completely unaware of what is involved in taking in a troubled teenager, or of taking a baby for three months and bonding with him or her, only to send them on to a permanent home. I have not done it often, but we have done it. No one who has done so would think of this as a light-weight sort of charity. Anyone who has raised his own teenagers would know what would be involved in taking in those abandoned by someone else.
The great thing is, the people who may "feel" that Sarah Palin is an idiot, are, nevertheless, inoculated now. The next time will be more difficult. I realize that there is a meme being attempted now to the effect that Bachmann is crazy. This just won't fly, I suspect. So, not only do I passionately agree with her very lucid exposition of our friendship with Israel, but also, I like that she put her money, even her life, where her mouth was, in the matter of the kids who needed love. Tough enough to lead, kind enough to trust her, yeah, I could go that way, in a heartbeat.
If she shoots dead enemies of humanity, that'd seal the deal for me. Just saying. Some bodies. All I need is some bodies as proof the person has the basic will required to do the job.

Bobby Valentine's bizarre comments about the New York Yankees on the anniversary of 9/11 earlier this month appear to have cost him a chance to work in TBS' postseason studio. Newsday's Neil Best writes Valentine was on track to work for TBS, but will not following his interview on WFAN when he said, among other things, "You couldn't find a Yankee down at Ground Zero, talking to the guys who were working 24/7."
TBS' studio team includes Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci and former Cy Young winner Pedro Martinez along with Keith Olbermann, who dubbed Valentine his "Worst Person in the Sports World" on his new ESPN show in the wake of the comments. Valentine dug himself a deeper hole when he asked for pictures of Yankees helping out around New York following the tragic events of 9/11.
Best tracked down a statement from TBS on the matter:
"Bobby was one of a number of candidates being considered for the role, but we elected to go with the team of Keith, Pedro and Tom and we're very excited about that combination in-studio for us."
A MLB spokesperson had "no comment" on the matter when reached via email by The Big Lead.

Congresswoman Gwen Moore appears in the following:
Rep. Gwen Moore on Planned Parenthood and Her Private Life
Monday, February 28, 2011
A little over a week ago, in the midst of the heated debates around our nation's proposed federal budget cuts, Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI) attracted national attention. After 240 of 241 House Republicans voted to strip Planned Parenthood of government funding, Moore spoke up. But rather than just explain that Planned Parenthood is the nation's leading provider of reproductive health care, she chose to tell her personal story of growing up as a poor, single, teenage mother. Congresswoman Moore joins us from Wisconsin to talk about her story and her thoughts on reproductive health funding.

Racials affecting combat gameplay is a terrible idea for MMOs. New MMOs such as Rift and TOR have moved away from that, and I entirely approve of this.
Classic servers are silly.
There have been numerous times throughout the history of WoW where others have thought certain things would not happen. Such as, Paladins on Horde and Shaman on Alliance. PvE to PvP server transfers. PvP cross faction character rolling. Each time those individuals were proven wrong, time and time again. If it comes to a point where vast quantities of folks are rerolling or race switching to human then you will see a change.Originally Posted by runedhill;18999371 It [U
To be honest, racials should be taken out completely or made into pure flavor skills. That would end any and all debate on the subject...well in theory.

All ships are warned that when U.S. naval vessels are met in international and inland waters, some of the navigational lights displayed by them may be special lights for naval purposes. When used, they may be displayed simultaneously with the ordinary navigational lights required by the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, or the Inland Navigational Rules. The lights are located and characterized in such a fashion that, as far as possible, they cannot be mistaken for any light authorized by either set of rules.

Pedro Moretti likes to use medium format and 35mm film cameras to document what he calls a "contemporary ethnography:" pictures of the protests, mostly in black and white, which he develops himself.
A photographer and teacher, he's been out on the streets, every day, for the past 134 days, capturing moments from the "periphery of conflict" for the future, that quieter side of protests less visible than the violent repression.
He selected some highlights from his work, a look back on the streets, the painted walls, the pavement stained, the lives lost.
They are in no particular order.
We must go on.

The Last Vampire - Book 1
Alisa Perne is the last vampire. For five thousand years she has been living among humans, living off humans. Beautiful and brilliant, she hunts alone. She thinks nobody knows her secret. But someone is stalking her. Someone wants her dead. And Alisa has a choice to make; to keep a long-held promise or protect the mortal she seems to be falling for...
Black Blood - Book 2
Believing that she and her partner Ray are the last remaining vampires, five-thousand-year-old Alisa is stunned when she learns about a series of brutal murders in the United States that can only be the work of their own kind. An ancient evil thirst vampire has returned. Alisa knows that she is responsible for his very existence, and so she must be the one to end his reign of slaughter.
I personally think that this book and the rest of the series (out of nine) are the best in the world. They are amazingly packed full with action with glimpses of romance, comedy and also some horror. The books are so brilliant I cannot describe them with words and whenever I read this book it's like I'm in the characters shoes or even visualising the story in my head.
The author is brilliant, I think he is very talented and I don't understand why this series isn't very big. I believe it should be bigger than "Twilight." I recommend those who love action to read this book.

Tomorrow we're moving into our new apartment and my list of DIY's to try for the new place is a mile long. But alas, we're renting, so I'm trying to reign in my DIY obsessions, targeting only those DIY's that I can pick up and move to city number two in just under two years. I put together a list of the projects that are musts … here's to hoping I get around to them all!
1. Gold-dipped jars + bottles. Really I want to gold-dip everything, but I've been keeping my obsession at bay in the last few months because I knew we were moving. But come summer, I'm dipping and spray-painting errythang. {Image via Style Me Pretty}
2. DIY Jewelry Display. This jewelry display, created by Lulu Frost and the girls of Honestly WTF, has been on my "wtf, I must have that!" list since I spotted it back in early February. I made a good and proper pouty face at hubby the other day, batted my eyelashes, and handed him a just-baked cookie, and voila – he promised to help me drill and glue and put one of these bad boys together for our new place. Success! {Step-by-step instructions via Honestly WTF}
3. DIY White Frame Gallery Wall. I'm dreaming of a clean space – probably on a bedroom wall – where I can fill in inspiration, shoot blog photos, and practice my spray-painting skills. {Via Cheetah is the New Black}
4. DIY Mix-and-Match Dining Space. I'm dreaming of a much funkier dining area. Though the space will be small, we love to eat and entertain, and I'd love an eating space that really represents us. I'd love to mix-and-match the chairs and possibly re-finish our ordinary brown dining table. {Check out more of my eclectic dining room inspiration on my Kitchens + Dining Pinterest Board; Image via Design Rulz}
5. A well-organized entryway. Because we're moving to a smaller space, I want to make the most of the room that we have. And our new place actually has a cute little entryway that we could use for storage. {This entryway was created using products from Ikea, making it a budget-friendly design … a.k.a., my kind of project!}
What DIY projects for the home have you seen and fallen in love with as of late? Any tips or tricks for decorating a small space?

Re: The Danger In Taking A DNA Test
In Response To: The Danger In Taking A DNA Test ()
Wow! I start with a quote:
'Careful with that axe, Eugene' (Pink Floyd, 1969)
A $600.00 whim to have a test tell you that you are not what you've ate for over fifty years. Whew!
Not a single drop of black blood, but the test still left him with the conceptual label of *ni**er*. Please note I stated conceptual.
Joseph shouldn't trip with the unimpeachable honesty of a lifelong experience of being black - unless he wants to be Governor of California or be placed on Ward Connerly's A-list. Sorry (Oakland in da house!)
Everyday, I wrestle with my dark brown skin, that there is no ambiguity or mistaking what I am - even if a (now $300.00) DNA test says I'm 57% Bjork, 39% Robert Mirabal, and 4% Yo Yo Ma - that I am BLACK! Sorry (descendent of John R. Jeter, slave, Virginia).
Methinks that Joseph should quit wrestling with this riddle and seek some insight from his black [Some men in the family routinely courted black women] ex-wife; or at least, let her share her side of the logical and visceral story.
Tongue flapping way way out of control in cheek.

My hair has been in amazing condition since using these three products. Alterna Caviar Repairx Collection deeply restores your hair to its natural healthy state. Alterna's products help rebuild protein in each strand of hair, leaving it fuller and healthier.
Alterna Caviar Repairx Instant Recovery Shampoo It's a creamy pearlescent shampoo that gets the job done. It smells really good and has a thicker consistency for shampoo. It foams up pretty well and rinses off easily.
Alterna Caviar Repairx Instant Recovery Conditioner So rich and so creamy! I loved how my hair felt after using this conditioner. It left my hair silky soft and it was easier to comb out afterwards.
Alterna Caviar Repairx Fill & Fix Treatment Masque This has to be my favorite product from the line. I love a good hair masque, and this one delivers! It repair damage and helps prevent future breakage. I like to leave it in for 20 minutes. I saturate my hair with the mask and leave it under a plastic cap. After my time is up, I rinse it out.
Alterna Caviar Repairx Collection $32-$42

This past weekend, I enjoyed a mini summer getaway at the Jersey Shore. Beach, boardwalk, and beauty were all on the menu and I just couldn't wait to dive-in! Here's how I brought my weekend beauty routine to the beach.
Soak up some moisture
After you take your dip in the ocean; saturate your strands with a deep conditioner. Just make sure you rinse out the salt water first. Apply a good amount of product and clip your hair up. Now sit back and relax under your umbrella with a copy of your favorite magazine! Rinse hair out after 20 minutes or when you get home. I like to use Alterna Caviar Replenishing Moisture Masque ($42, alternahaircare.com)
Buff away the day
Make the sand work for you. Next time you hit the beach, exfoliate your legs and heels with wet sand. Just mix salt water with sand and boom – you have an all natural body scrub! Make sure you're not too rough when using it and as a precaution; don't exfoliate freshly shaved skin.
P.S. Always make sure to reapply SPF though out the day.

Like any other beauty obsessed girl, I was starting to get bored with my medium brown hair so I decided to go ombré. Natural dark brown fading into a perfect caramel blonde – I'm in love! Mila Kunis was my inspiration.
I've been highlight free for three years, but I just couldn't resist. My hair needed an update; however, I hate nothing more than dry, porous, brittle hair!
The Challenge: Maintaining healthy hair during the summer
The Solution: René Furterer LISSEA leave-in smoothing fluid
Not only did I highlight my hair, but it's summer time! That means: long days at the beach are reeking havoc on my hair. The harsh sun and salt water are no good! I promised myself I would make it a point to use a hydrating hair mask every other week. But I knew I needed something daily, that's when I came across René Furterer LISSEA leave-in smoothing fluid.
I use it after I've detangled my hair with Matrix Total Results Break Fix Leave-In Elixir. Two pumps and I'm ready to go. Occasionally I'll use some before I go to bed while I'm moisturizing my face. If you want soft hair, you have to keep it moisturized just like you do with your skin.
This smoothing fluid has natural Alkekenge extract that instantly smooths hair by forming a film around the hair shaft. The Avocado oil nourishes and moisturizes, leaving hair smooth, shiny, and soft. It's a thick cream that melts right into your strands. The scent is a blend of Bergamot, Ginger, Cardamom, Jasmine, Tea, Rose, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Musk. I'm a total fan!
René Furterer LISSEA leave-in smoothing fluid 4.2Oz $30 in salons or on Beauty.com

I'm so in love! I've been using Matrix Total Results Break Fix Leave-In Elixir for a few months now and I can't say anything bad about it. I like to use it as a detangler. I apply it right after I towel dry my hair and then comb it through. It keeps my hair manageable and strong, so my strands don't break while I'm detangling my hair. It's a lightweight gel like liquid that melts right in and smells tropically fresh – like a fruity summertime cocktail! matrix better never ever discontinue this product – I'm hooked!
Matrix Total Results Break Fix Leave-In Elixir 16.5 oz around $16 at salons nationwide
Welcome to the 5th peel of The Skin Regime: Boot Camp for Beautiful Skin! It's been a few weeks since my 4th peel, but I was brave and decided to use the 50% glycolic acid.
I washed my face and made sure to remove any dirt and makeup from my skin. I then moistened a cotton round with rubbing alcohol and swiped it all over my face. Once my face was dry, I used the medicated spray to numb my skin. I think I finally figured out the most effective way to use it. I sprayed a large amount on my hand first; and then wiped it all over my face. Next I applied the 50% glycolic acid to a cotton round and swiped it all over my face and neck area.
I set the timer for six minutes. While the clock was still ticking, I dipped a cotton swab into the 70% glycolic acid solution and applied it to the top of my cheeks (where I have the most sun spots) and over the freckles on my nose. Once time was up; I rinsed and washed my face, then applied CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion PM.
Again, I was surprised it did not burn nor sting. So either I grew tough skin (but it feels softer) or the medicated spray really does help. I didn't experience much redness or dryness, so I'm curious to see what my face will look like in the morning. I'll update this post if I notice extra peeling or irritation tomorrow. In the past I've noticed that my skin only really starts to shed on the second or third day after the peel, so I have a feeling this might also be the case this time.

Russell Organics Argan Oil
Russell Organics 100% Argan Oil is a natural all-in-one oil that nourishes and moisturizes skin and hair. It's versatile and loaded with vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acid and squalene – all of which are excellent moisturizers.
If you suffer from dry skin, then argan oil is a great addition to your winter skincare routine. I like to rub some into my dry elbows and knees. It absorbs quickly and keeps my skin soft throughout the winter months. Once the cold weather starts to kick in, my cuticles get dry and peel. Argan oil helps keep them in shape in between manis. I dab some on with a Q-Tip as needed. It also soothes and nourishes hair. After I detangle my hair, I always apply argan oil to the ends of my hair. It keeps my ends looking healthy and helps prevents splitting.
Russell Organics Argan Oil $28

Redken Extreme Review
Redken Extreme promises to strengthen your hair from the inside and out so you can have strong hair that can withstand anything. It's been reformulated with Redken's exclusive Interlock Protein Network – it helps deliver protein to the core of your hair and Fortifying Complex which rebuilds your hair's outer layer. Cermide has also been included to help repair extensive damage.
Redken Extreme Shampoo – It's a creamy white shampoo with a gentle lather. It doesn't leave your hair dry and brittle like some shampoos. If you have oily roots, I would suggest you not use this shampoo. Stick to a clear shampoo to reduce oiliness. This is perfect for those with extremely dry hair or ultra blonde dyed hair.
Redken Extreme Conditioner – This is a nice cream conditioner. It helps restore strength and helps detangle hair. Hair feels softer and more manageable after using it.
Redken Extreme Strength Builder Plus – This deep conditioning mask is loaded with cermide to help repair severely damaged hair. It's a thick light blue cream that kind of smells like children's fruity toothpaste (Weird, I know!) All smells aside, my hair felt wonderful after using it.My hair looked healthier and shinier. My ends even look better too. I know that some people are disappointed that Extreme Deep Fuel was replaced by this. I never got a chance to use Extreme Deep Fuel, so I can't say if this is better or worse – but what I can say is that I like it.

GLOSS Moderne High-Gloss Masque is a hair mask that replenishes moisture and gives you ample shine. It's a thick white cream that's sulfate-free, sodium chloride-free, and paraben-free. It smells like coconut candy, the signature Coco de Soleil fragrance is mix of coconut, almond, and rum. Just massage into shampooed hair and leave it in for at least 5 minutes. Can be used daily or weekly.
I wasn't too impressed with this hair mask. The product felt good in my hair and smelled wonderful, but I didn't really notice a difference in my hair. I love products that contain coconut and almond, they are both great natural moisturizers. I'm sure the rum is added for an extra boost of shine; my mom has been making a homemade mask recipe that contains rum for years now and she swears by it. That recipe will soon be added to the Nature's Best section!
What do you think? I had to do a tight crop because I need a serious haircut!
Bottom line, it's a good product. It feels and smells luxurious. My hair felt softer after using it, but not much shinier. I guess it takes a lot to wow me nowadays!
GLOSS Moderne High-Gloss Masque 4 oz. $39

Although former Himachal PradeshĀchief minister Virbhadra Singh admits toĀfactions within hisĀparty, he is confident the Congress will form the next government in the state.
Accusing the BJP of legitimising corruption in the state, the former raja of Rampur BhushairĀtold Onkar SinghĀthe BJP would fail in Himachal Pradesh.
Now that the poll campaign has come to an end, how do you assess your chances?
The Congress will form the new government in Himachal Pradesh. The campaign has gone off as expected. We will win at least 40 seats. We could win even more. We have covered the entire length and breadth of the state and have got tremendous response from the people.You have not visited yourĀconstituency. Why?
I have an understanding with my electorate that I will look after them throughout my term, visit them often and listen to them --Āin return they would give me the freedom of not visiting the constituency during polling. My party people are looking after my campaign on my behalf while I am campaigning for the party elsewhere in the state.
You have accused Chief Minister PremĀDhumal of amassing wealth. Do you have any proof?
Corruption is a major issue in the election in Himachal Pradesh. Allegations against the chief minister are just one part. During the BJP rule, corruption has been more or less legitimised.ĀIt has entered almost all aspects of governmental functioning.
The allegation of amassing wealth against Chief MinisterĀDhumal is not wrong. Captain Amarinder Singh, the chief minister of Punjab, has gone on record that Dhumal has properties worth Rs 42 crore in justĀone district of the state.
The chief ministerĀhas not denied the allegations. In his reply he has saidĀthe properties do not belong to him but to his relatives. And who are the relatives? Sons, daughters, wife and other close kin of the chief minister. This amounts to accepting the fact that he has properties in Punjab.
Dhumal says heĀfiled a defamation suit against Amarinder Singh and others because the allegations were false.
He has gone to court so that the Congress does not talk about the allegations atĀits public meetings, so that the media does not write about it. Nothing is going to come out of this suit. He wanted to prevent this from snowballing into aĀpoll issue.
Are you saying the Himachalis believeĀthe allegations against Dhumal are true?
Of course. You go to any part of the state and you will find people debating the issue. He does not enjoy a good reputation amongst the people who tend to believe the allegations against him even without questioning them.
He saysĀRaja Virbhadra Singh does not approve of a commoner like him as chief minister and that is why these allegations are being made against him.
This is a fantastic argument. Barring myself all the previous chief ministers come from non-princely families. I was madeĀchief minister not because of my family connections but because of my long and unblemished service to the people of Himachal Pradesh. I was electedĀchief ministerĀthrough the same democratic process as Dhumal. So how are things different in my case?
If elected to power what willĀthe Congress governmentĀdo for the people?
Only one thing -- provide a clean and responsive administration to the people. This would be our main task. We will develop all regions of the state irrespective of whether they are near the capital or in far-flung places. The interiors need more attention.
In Himachal, development has always played a major role. We started from zero and today the state has reached a certain stage of development that we can be proud of. No matter what Dhumal says about the role ofĀCongress governments, the peopleĀknow what he says is not true.
Is Sukh Ram a factor in the Himachal assembly election?
As an individual he may be a factor in Himachal politics but if you are talking about his party -- the Himachal Vikas Congress, I am afraid he is not a factor. He is unlikely to repeat the performance of the 1998 election. His popularity has gone down. All the telephone exchangesĀset up when he was communications minister in the Narasimha Rao government are now out of order. HeĀhad encashed on those telephone connections in the last election. This is not going to work now. You should not be surprised if Sukh Ram loses from Mandi Sadar.
Is the Hindu card working in Himachal Pradesh?
Prime MinisterĀVajpayee tried to use the Hindu card by referring to the ban on cow slaughter, Ram Mandir etc. I do not think the BJP will succeed in Himachal Pradesh. The Hindu card will not work here. They have realisedĀif they try to do so it would boomerang on them. The meetings addressed by the prime ministerĀand Deputy Prime MinisterĀAdvani were poorly attended.
Will Sonia Gandhi make an impact on the Himachalis?
Her meetings had large gatherings atĀall five venues. Her rallies were tremendous.
Vajpayee says give me Dhumal and I would give you development: that's what the BJP posters read. Do you think this would pay off?
Certainly not. Himachalis are not going to be fooled by this. Does it mean that if there is a non-BJP government in Himachal Pradesh, the central government will not release funds forĀdevelopment of the state? The Congress has governments in 15 states. So far they are functioning effectively.
BJP President Venkaiah Naidu says the Himachal elections will be the quarter final.
He can say so and hope that he wins the quarter final, so that he can play in the semi final and the final. The people of Himachal Pradesh are going to give them a befitting reply. This is a crucial election. If the BJP succeeds here they will carry their Hindu agenda forward in other states as well. The people of our state are going to defeat the designs of the BJP by defeating them in the assembly poll.
Who would beĀchief minister in case the Congress wins -- Virbhadra Singh or Vidya Stokes?
The CongressĀknows who will lead the party if we are voted back to power. The leader of the party would be elected in consultation with theĀhigh command in New Delhi.
