Hidden amongst the recent Senate wrangling over whether or not to include energy production in the Arctic National Wildlife Reserve (ANWR) as part of a comprehensive national energy bill is a push by some leading Senate Democrats to make any new production of domestic energy a moot point.

As if we haven't already had enough bad economic news, now come reports of another attack on the economy from within the Bush administration. Even as President George W. Bush stumps for his tax rate reductions, he's facing a rear-guard assault on his economic program by members of his own Cabinet: massive hikes in energy costs masquerading as environmental safeguards.

SMC SOFTBALL: Belles off to face first-place Calvin
Joe Meixell | Tuesday, April 12, 2005
The Belles travel to Calvin College today to play a doubleheader against the MIAA's first place team.
Saint Mary's is looking for its first win in over a month. The Belles have dropped 11 games since beating Emmanuel College on March 10 during their spring break tournament in Florida.
At that point, the team was 5-3 and poised to make a run at repeating as MIAA champs. But since then the Belles have lost 11 games by a total score of 82 to 34. They are now 5-14 overall and 0-6 in conference play.
Calvin is in the midst of a losing streak of its own, having dropped four games in a row. Despite the skid, the Knights are 12-8 overall and 2-0 in the MIAA conference.
The Belles are coming off a weekend affair against Adrian College where they dropped both games of a doubleheader. They did show resolve, however, keeping both games close. The Belles lost 4-1 in the first game and 11-9 in the second.
This ability to stay close in games but not win them is characteristic of the team. A week ago, the Belles played a doubleheader at home against Albion College. The Belles fought hard in both games, but missed opportunities and inopportune errors prevented the team from notching a win.
The inconsistency can in part be attributed to the inexperience of the team. The young squad includes no seniors and five freshmen. With more experience, the Belles will likely become more efficient at making big plays and avoiding key errors in order to stay close and win.
Saint Mary's will need to start making those big plays against Calvin College if they have any hopes of repeating as MIAA champions. If the Belles can take advantage of the Knight's recent poor play, they may be able to finally get a conference victory.
in the conference.

MANHATTAN -- A picture can be worth a thousand words, so a Kansas State University environmental organization hopes to turn those words into a bold statement about the world.
K-State's Students for Environmental Action, an ecological advocacy organization, has arranged several events for Earth Day 2011, Friday, April 22. The celebration will include a festival and trade show from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Bosco Student Plaza. More than 25 booths from earth-friendly campus and community organizations will be included. Other activities will include a T-shirt swap, an appearance by the Eco-Enforcer, prize giveaways, and a vegan taste-test. The event will also feature acoustic music from 11 a.m. to noon and guest speakers from noon to 1 p.m.
K-State pride and environmental awareness will be on further display for the all-university campus photo. Students and faculty are encouraged to wear a purple or green shirt to Memorial Stadium, arriving by 1:15 p.m. Volunteers will organize all attendees into a K-State world. K-State photo services will take an aerial photograph at 1:30 p.m.
Following the photo, students and faculty are invited to remain at Memorial Stadium for the Campus Chill-Out, an effort to honor K-State environmental advancement and be in solidarity with environmentalism worldwide.
Zack Pistora, senior in political science, Lawrence, helped to organize the events as the president of Students for Environmental Action. He hopes the events convey a sense of unity.
"Each one of us can make a difference, but when we come together we can really make change," he said.
"We hope that our university -- students, faculty, and staff alike -- can come together to celebrate our accomplishments and push for improvements in terms of environmental and humanitarian efforts," Pistora said. "Earth Day at K-State should be a lot of fun and very educational."
More information is available on Facebook at KSU Earth Day Celebration.

Everyone can be generous, Pope reminds audience
November 12, 2012
"No one is so poor that they are unable to give something," Pope Benedict XVI told his Angelus audience on Sunday, November 11.
The Scripture readings from the day's Mass told the story of the widow's mite and the widow who encountered the prophet Elijah in Sidon. In each case, the Pope observed, the widow was generous despite her own urgent needs. Their stories, he said, illustrate "the indivisible unity of faith and charity, which is like that between love for God and love for neighbor."
In the Bible widows are always treated as people in need of support, the Pope observed; and in the two readings the widow's poverty is emphasized. But poverty in itself is not a virtue: "God always asks us to adhere willingly to faith, which is expressed as love for Him and for one's neighbor." The Pontiff quoted from St. Leo the Great: "No act of kindness is meaningless before God, no mercy is fruitless."
At the conclusion of his audience the Pope reminded the crowd in St. Peter's Square that the beatification of Maria Luisa Prosperi, a 19th-century Benedictine abbess, had taken place the previous day in Spoleto, Italy. The Pontiff also called attention to the Italian Day of Thanksgiving, which was observed on November 11. The observance, he said, especially during the current Year of Faith, "reminds us of the need for a lifestyle rooted in the faith so that, with a grateful heart, we may recognize the creative and provident hand of God which nourishes his children."

|« A version of highly beneficial chicken soup....
|Can I talk about how much I love my food? »
"Mom, my mouth was on fire!"
LOL. Poor kid, he hated those muffins (too much anise flavoring ) and returned home starving to death. I quickly filled him up with wheatless fig newtons (no avoids), mozzerrela cheese, a leftover oat muffin, and chocolate soy milk. My plan was to present him with beef for dinner, but daddy got to him first. I compensated by serving him beef for breakfast and a swedish pancake with raisins and pears. Nobody said Mom was perfect.
Here's the bright side: it's was easy to whip up a batch of pumpkin raisin bread thanks to my Toastmaster bread machine. School should be much better for him today. Meanwhile I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of Dr Dadamo's A Probiotic supplement. My two year old really does better and has fewer stomach cramps thanks to that supplement. Speaking of stomach cramps, I misread a label and bought the wrong kind of cheese. In fact, we have had two incidences with the "right" kind of cheese lately. I used some soft goat cheese as a spread on a rice cracker and later discovered that it must have been a bit on the old side. The first two times we used it, I noticed zero negative reactions for either myself or my son. The third time upset my stomach 30 minutes after dinner and several hours later upset his stomach (or liver or whatever). I have also bought Percorino Romano cheese which is NOT supposed to be made from cow's milk (sheep, I think). Well, the igredients simply said "milk", etc and he was ill later that night. It makes me so mad when companies do not properly label their food.
I once had someone say to me "There is no such thing as a bad food." I should have replied, "Then why does my 2 year old scream in the middle of the night after ingesting cheese?"
Here's the point: We are all individuals. There is no blanket statement that applies to everyone. I still think Dadamo is farther ahead of the game than most professionals out there. Food for thought

BALTIMORE (CBSDC) — Attorney General Eric Holder might not be sticking around for a second term.
Holder told law school students at the University of Baltimore School of Law that he does not know if he will stay in his job.
"That's something that I'm in the process now of trying to determine," Holder said. "I have to think about, can I contribute in a second term?"
Holder says he needs to sit down with his family and President Obama to see if he wants to continue on the job.

Roger Goodell: 2016 Super Bowl to Be Held in Chicago?May 31, 2012
The Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell earlier Friday in regards to possibly bringing the big dance to the Windy City in the not-so-distant future. The commissioner was in town to officially recognize Soldier Field as the NFL's first "LEED" stadium and publicly speak about the latest on the Bounty Scandal.
While most would love to see the NFL's biggest game being played in some of the most iconic arenas, can it be an actual possibility?
Many of us have played on video game consoles with warm weather teams competing in harsh climates. Cam Newton, Matt Schaub, Phillip Rivers, and other warm weather players of the likes competing in the cold could create endless scenarios that would never have happened otherwise. It would make another angle and an create an additional test for the teams competing to lift the Lombardi Trophy.
While the plans are still in the rudimentary preliminary stages, the wheels are in motion to potentially bring the show to Soldier Field as early as 2016. Supposedly, with the game being played in New York in 2014, it will be a "try out" of sorts to test if the NFL's elite can handle playing The Big Game in a frosty environment. Goodell stated in regards to the game being played in New York, "I think if we can do it successfully there, I think that opens up doors that we'll all be looking at."
Some issues still to be kept in mind are the relatively small size of the stadium (around 60,000 seats) along with the actual condition of the grass and field in the frigid weather, although the climate in Chicago is generally a tossup.
Chicago lost out on the bid for the 2016 Olympics, but I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind "settling" for the Granddaddy of them all. Most of the world has been impressed with how the city handled the recent NATO meetings and that could be taken as a positive sign.
Can it happen? Yes.
Will it? We're facing long odds, but as the old adage goes, "Never say never."

Ear plugs for DJ's
Every DJ knows it: 'the ear is your gear'. Without good hearing, it is practically impossible to make the right mix and get a full floor of nightclubbers grooving to your beats. And just like you mind your turntables as though they were your babies, we would also advise being very careful with your hearing. Avoid finishing a successful night of music-making with beeping or ringing ears and use appropriate hearing protection.
With our MusicSafe earplugs, your hearing protection is also completely assured. With the MusicSafe Pro you even get three different filter sets so that you yourself can determine the most suitable muffling for your hearing.
Our comfortable earplugs are made from a sustainable and flexible thermoplastic substance. In this way, they always fit your ear perfectly and you can play your sets without interruption. The special design of the hearing protection prevents you from feeling shut off from the outside world. The MusicSafe has been tested as the best by the Consumers Association. The MusicSafe Classic has two different filter sets, and the MusicSafe Pro three.

Speaking of a two state solution, former Secretary of State John Kerry gave a speech about Israel and said that that two state solution is in serious trouble and that a big part of the reason for that is Israel's continuing push to build new settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Just within a few days of Trump being sworn in, Israel announced plans to build 2,500 new settlements. . . . Is it a sign of more settlements to come? (Emphases added.)
Correction: In the audio atop this post, host Jeremy Hobson said the Israeli government was planning to build 2,500 new settlements. The government is planning to build 2,500 new housing units in existing settlements. We regret the error.

I will also add that I read an op ed pice once on yelling at your kids that gave me comfort. The piece was a story about a woman who just lost it with her kids regarding some crayon-related incident (you can imagine a million scenarios around that topic can't you?) She yelled and did/said things she regretted and felt terrible about it. But upon reflection, she came to the realization that maybe its ok for kids to see you lose your cool once in a while. And the way she presented it I agreed with. I'm not advocating hollering at your kids all the time, but every once in a while we lose it and just maybe that is a valuable thing for kids to experience. To see and experience what it is like to push someone too far. Because reading those cues - that someone is getting annoyed or frustrated - are pretty important skills to have in the world. And sometimes we do push prople to far and those are the consequences. Doesn't feel that great, so maybe kids learn to be more sensitive and back off when mom/dad get their serious face on.
I put my money on her not even thinking about it at this point in the day. But I hear you - I've been there, I've done that, and I've felt just terrible about it. But she will survive and so will you.

In Pakistan, military leader and self-appointed president General Pervez Musharraf has made a final appeal for support in a national referendum to extend his rule. The poll will open for the referendum on Tuesday.
General Musharraf has ordered the referendum to ask Pakistanis if they want him to serve as president for five more years.
In a nationally televised address, which was translated, the military leader promised that the presidential referendum will be freed and fair.
President Musharraf told the nation that he needs their strength to move forward and pledged to abide by the people's verdict. He reiterated his commitment to hold parliamentary elections in October to restore democracy in Pakistan.
Critics say Tuesday's poll is open to voting abuse since there is no electoral roll to ensure no one votes more than once. According to election commission officials, nearly half of Pakistan's 140-million people are eligible to vote.
General Musharraf seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999 and later declared himself president. He says he needs to stay in power to ensure his political, economic and social reforms are not reversed by a civilian government after the elections.
Opposition parties have condemned the referendum as unconstitutional and have called for a boycott. They also say Musharraf has not allowed them to hold many rallies in which their platform could be heard. They say Pakistan's constitution mandates that the president should be elected by the parliament.
The Supreme Court has approved the referendum, dismissing opposition claims that the move is illegal and unconstitutional.
Pakistan's two former military dictators, Zia ul-Haq and Ayub Khan, held referendums instead of elections to extend their rule. Analyst and political commentators like Mushahid Hussain say General Musharraf is following the same pattern.
"All military rulers in Pakistan see themselves as guardians of the family silver, as [being] above the constitution, as men of destiny, who feel that the destiny of the state is linked with their own stay in...office," he said. "His main claim was that he is different than the previous military rulers, who seized power in military coups. But now it seems that in order to stay on he is following the same path as that embarked upon by his military predecessors, like General Zia ul Haq and Field Marshal Ayub Khan.
The military has ruled Pakistan for half of its 55-year-history. Since no previous military ruler has ever lost a referendum, many Pakistanis believe General Musharraf will win the presidential referendum.

Nikkei Rises to Highest Since 2008 as Yen Buoys ExportersAnna Kitanaka
Japanese shares gained, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average rising to its highest since 2008, after the yen weakened in overnight trading, boosting the outlook for exporters as earnings season starts.
JFE Holdings Inc. jumped 6.6 percent after the steelmaker posted a 28-fold jump in fourth-quarter profit, helped by a weaker yen and cost cuts. Tosoh Corp. surged for a second day after the chemical producer's net income was double its forecast. Toyota Motor Corp., the world's biggest carmaker, gained 2 percent. Fujitsu Ltd. dropped the most on the Nikkei 225 after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. cut its outlook on the stock.
The Nikkei 225 added 2.3 percent to close at 13,843.46 in Tokyo, climbing to its highest since June 2008. Volume was 20 percent above the 30-day intraday average. The Topix Index rose 1.8 percent to 1,164.35, with about seven shares rising for every each that fell on the 1,698-member gauge.
"A lot of the expectation for exporter earnings has been priced in, but forecasts are still conservative," said Masaru Hamasaki, a senior strategist at Tokyo-based Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co., which oversees about 10.2 trillion yen ($102 billion). "Because companies are basing their forecasts on the assumption that the yen is near 80, we could see some big changes for this coming year."
The Topix advanced 61 percent since mid-November as Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and central bank Governor Haruhiko Kuroda pledged to defeat 15 years of deflation. The gauge trades at 1.3 times book value compared with 2.3 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 1.6 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Nintendo, Canon
Nintendo Co. and Canon Inc. are among more than 20 companies on the Topix that report earnings today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Of the 69 companies that have posted results so far this month and for which Bloomberg has estimates, 45 percent beat expectations, while 55 percent fell short, the data show.
JFE, which gets about 38 percent of its revenue outside of Japan, jumped 6.6 percent to 2,094 yen today after reporting 17.6 billion yen in profit for the three months ended March 31, compared with 635 million yen a year earlier after increasing cost cutting measures.
Tosoh jumped 10 percent to 310 yen, the third biggest gain on the Nikkei 225, extending yesterday's 7.7 percent advance. Tosoh said its net income of 16 billion yen for the year ended March 31 was double its forecast, helped by the yen's slide.
The yen fell ahead of a Bank of Japan policy decision on April 26. The central bank may upgrade its outlook on consumer-price gains excluding fresh food to at least 1.5 percent from 0.9 percent for fiscal 2014, according to people familiar with the central bank's discussions.
Exporters gained. Toyota, which gets 25 percent of its sales from North America, rose 2 percent to 5,620 yen, the biggest boost to the Topix Index. Honda Motor Co., which gets 81 percent of its sales abroad, advanced 1.9 percent to 3,950 yen. Canon Inc., the world's biggest camera maker, climbed 1.3 percent to 3,840 yen.
Fujitsu declined the most on the Nikkei 225 after Goldman Sachs reduced its investment rating on the stock to sell from neutral.
The Nikkei Stock Average Volatility Index gained 1.1 percent to 25.64 today, indicating traders expect a swing of about 7.4 percent on the benchmark gauge over the next 30 days.

There's nothing stopping a GR that resolves to overrule any decision to be made by a delegate or the tech ctte that's against the wishes of the developer body. And it's a fair more sensible and efficient method to decide what to do about things on a single GR, in advance of doing things, than to give no suggestion on what you want to have done, but throw some threats about what might happen if people do the wrong thing.

Lighting adds more to a home than many realize. When building a deck or sunroom, or some other addition to a home, it is easy to focus so much on the structure, layout, flooring, paint, and finish material, that the lighting is put off until the end. From assisting customer's with their new homes and home additions for the last 14 years, it became very apparent of this trend to over look the lighting. Since the focus of this website is to explore outdoor chandeliers, let's turn our eyes to the outside of the home and focus on outside lighting for a few minutes.
There are two main reasons that come to mind when trying to turn back the trend and look at lighting in the beginning stages instead of once the project is finished. The first reason is: if a light that is going to be hung is extremely heavy, then it should be planned for when the framing is done. Sometimes an additional beam may be included in the framing to hang your outdoor chandelier treasure from. Some of these lights can weight 75 pounds or more, so be sure that they have a proper place from which to be hung.
The second reason to consider lighting in the beginning is so that you are sure if there is one that matches your style. Even purchasing the light before the job is completed is a great idea. Then the electrican can check and be sure he has the outlet in the proper place. And also the builder can be sure that the light will be able to hang in an appropriate place. It is not very satisfiying or convenient if there is no way to hang the light over the table location, or where ever you invision it. Sometimes it may be best to hang the light from the center of the exterior area, and at other times it may be more condusive to place the light on a side of the covered porch where the seating area is.
When thinking about outside spaces, there is also a certain charm in candle chandeliers. This candle chandelier has a lovely colonial style to it. For a western, colonial, or traditional styled home exterior, this chandelier would blend well with its surroundings. If you notice the 'handcrafted' in the title, that denotes that this outdoor chandelier is made by hand instead of machine. It also means that no two are identical. Made of solid iron this light weighs 20 pounds. The diamond pattern in the iron with the round iron spheres on the ends adds even more charm to this light. The balls on the bottom of it also act as feet to allow it to be used on a mantel or as a centerpiece. This outdoor chandle chandelier is recommended for covered patio use and indoor. The four taper candles are not included with the light, but can be purchased separately. Light dimensions: 18″x18″x24″
Also consider indoor candle chandeliers for dining areas.
Another time of year that candles are reminiscent of is Christmas. Be sure to talk a look at our article, outdoor Christmas decorations for some ideas for making your home ready for the holidays.

Sugar isn't only tasty… it just might be good for you. At least if you eat it in the form of a pill, and at the proper dosage.
Canadian researchers say the well-known placebo effect carries over to people who take placebos as prescribed. That is, people often feel better when they think they are taking a helpful pill, even if it contains nothing but sugar. Time after time, researchers have found that people who take placebo pills do better than expected. Now researchers at Canada's University of Alberta report that at least part of the placebo effect depends on how dedicated people are to taking their pills properly.
In general, about one in four people don't stick to their prescribed drug regimen, a problem considered a barrier to successful treatment.
So researchers analyzed twenty-one clinical trials that involved about forty-seven-thousand people. Of those, twenty-thousand were given placebos instead of active drugs.
Those who took their pills the way they were supposed to were nearly half as likely to die as those who didn't… regardless of whether they took active drugs or placebos.
The mind-body connection may be behind the healing effects, researchers say, because the healing aspect may be generated from patients feeling cared for and caring for themselves.
So when it comes to health, a positive frame of mind may provide points, in the form of powerful health benefits that medical professionals are still trying to sort out.

Help, advice, insight please
I will be interviewing soon for three different units at a hospital for a nursing tech position.:smilecoffeecup: One is a specialty surgery, one is general acute care (med-surg), and one is SCU (stepdown/telemetry).
Can anyone here tell me about work in a specialty surgery or stepdown/telemetry? I have a good idea about med/surg already.
This will be my first CNA hospital expierence. I did my clinicals in LTC so I'm very excited about this!Apr 3, '07Yea! what an exiting opportunity! I looked up the units on mu hospital web site but unfortunitely the info for cna's is very generic and the same for most units. It's good to know that hospitals are giving newbies a chance!

"This fascinating exploration of North American mining history fills a gaping hole in the field and illuminates a fraught and wide-ranging struggle to meet our voracious demand for the minerals underlying modern life. From the silver mines of Mexico to the tar sands and gold mines of Canada, Mining North America shows how industrial capitalism reshaped a continent and left behind a toxic legacy of inequalities."—Paul Sabin, author of The Bet: Paul Ehrlich, Julian Simon, and Our Gamble over Earth's Future
"This book advances the argument that mining the earth has been central to modern history. After absorbing its impressive stories and evidence, ranging across a continent's incredible mineral wealth, from gold and silver to uranium, iron ore, and bitumen, we can no longer look on mining simply as a romantic and colorful adventure from the past. Mining creates our world, for good or bad. Powerfully convincing!"—Donald Worster, author of Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of American Abundance

Mauricio Pochettino steels Spurs for clash with classy Dortmund
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has classed Borussia Dortmund as one of the best teams in Europe ahead of their Europa League last-16 clash on Thursday.
Spurs have never played the German side in a competitive match but can expect a fiendish test at the Westfalenstadion, against a team flushed with big-name stars.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has netted 29 goals in 33 games this season while the likes of Ilkay Gundogan, Marco Reus and Mats Hummels have all been linked with the continent's most glamorous clubs. Gundogan was pictured on Thursday meeting Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain in Amsterdam.
Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga, having scored 59 goals in 25 games, and Thomas Tuchel's men are yet to lose a single league match at home this season.
The first leg in Germany will be Pochettino's 100th game in charge at Tottenham and the Argentinian admits his youthful side are in for a thorough examination.
"Borussia Dortmund have very good players, a very good team, a great coach - Thomas is fantastic and he has showed that from the beginning of the season," Pochettino said.
"I like the way they play but I think that it's a good challenge for us. I think we play against one of the best teams in Europe.
"The strikers they have - Aubameyang, (Henrikh) Mkhitaryan, Gundogan in midfield, Hummels - they're internationals and big players. They can stay here or go to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
"I think that Dortmund have a very good team and it's a very good challenge for us. We're excited to play in Borussia, an unbelievable stadium and a great atmosphere, and I think all is positive."
Pochettino must again balance a desire to progress in Europe's second-tier tournament with Tottenham's domestic ambitions, where they are gunning to win their first league title since 1961.
Dele Alli, Danny Rose and Eric Dier have all been left at home, with Alli suspended, Rose nursing a calf problem and Dier handed a rest ahead of Sunday's game at Aston Villa.
Pochettino said: "W e are in a period that is tough for the players. We need to refresh the team. We need to rotate.
"Ever since the start of the season I've said that the important thing is to have a squad."
Tottenham will also be desperate to get back to winning ways after failing to beat 10-man Arsenal last weekend, drawing 2-2 three days after losing at West Ham.
And Pochettino is eager to dispel any fears of fatigue as his players enter a crunch period in the campaign.
"It's a good thing to be disappointed after the game against Arsenal," Pochettino said. "A few years ago after a draw against Arsenal in a big derby people were happy. Now when you can only draw with Arsenal there is disappointment.
"It's a good thing and changes the mentality inside the club and outside too. Today we can show a strong mentality. This is very important for me.
"We need time but I am very happy in the way that we have developed our mentality after 21 months. We are much stronger than before."

Having problems with your Dyson DC17 Animal Bagless Upright Cyclonic Vacuum ?
Loud noise I ran over a string and then shut it off quickly. It now makes a horrible grinding sound. Did I ruin the motor? Sounds like something came undone. I checked the belt and that is fine. Ideas?
Answers :
I think you damaged the belt. I ran over a sock once and it made a grinding noise but still worked for several months after the incident. Finally, the belt broke off. I had it replaced and now it doesn't make that sound.
To start with, a vacuum belt is designed to be the weak link so that if the brushroll is stopped momentarily, the motor won't "burn up" or be permanently damaged.
\015\012If, on your Dyson, your drive belt is a cogged-tooth [or "Gilmore"] belt, I have seen instances of the brushroll becoming momentarily stopped, and the motor will then chew up a few teeth on the belt.
\015\012Running the vacuum anytime after this will/may produce a grinding noise.
\015\012If you examine your belt and see teeth missing, replace the belt (and they should be under $20 for sure) and that should repair such an issue.

In an unprecedented move, one country is taking a politically incorrect approach to rising crime, and it's making Muslims furious. As followers of Islam demand special considerations for their religious garb in the United States, a Mulsim country is banning the sales and production of head coverings — a decision that would leave liberals outraged in America.
The Muslim government of Morocco has banned the sale and production of full-face burkas, also known as niqabs. The niqab is known for being popular among the Salafist sect of Islam, from which it is believed the majority of jihadists emerge. According to a high-ranking interior ministry official, the ban is effective immediately. Starting this week, it is illegal to wear this particular type of burka, which covers everything except for the eyes, in Morocco.
According to a Daily Mail report, the ban came about as a result of a spike in niqab-related crimes where felons have notoriously used it as a disguise to perpetrate illegal activity.
Le360 News further reports that a Moroccan government official explained, "We have taken the step of completely banning the import, manufacture, and marketing of this garment in all the cities and towns of the kingdom."
It makes sense that the government of Morocco has banned the niqab to prevent Muslim terrorists from carrying out more attacks in the country. The King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, reportedly prefers a less conservative version of Islam. How ironic that in Muslim countries, such as Morocco, words such as "conservative" completely change in definition.
On Monday, Morocco's interior ministry officials started an awareness campaign in Casablanca to notify the public that they will no longer be able to make or sell the concealing headdress. In some parts of the country, merchants were given 48 hours to liquidate their entire stock.
The new ban hasn't come about without an element of disapproval from the Muslim world, of course. A Salafist sheikh, Hassan Kettani, wrote on Facebook, "Is Morocco moving towards banning the niqab that Muslim women have worn for five centuries?" He added that such a move would be a "true disaster."
Such a stark contrast exists between the rest of the world and this backward, dark age religion. The types of things Muslims consider to be a "disaster" are almost comical. It couldn't possibly be female genital mutilation, beheadings, stonings, or suicide bombers … It's definitely the niqab ban.

Pedroncelli Winery: A Dry Creek Valley tradition
Wine Reviews / Food & Drink Channel / Bullz-Eye Home
Check out Gabe's View for more wine reviews, and follow Gabe on Twitter!
The very first time I went to Dry Creek Valley in California's Sonoma County during the early '90s, it was with a very specific goal in mind. My intent was to visit Pedroncelli Winery. Whatever else I accomplished that day was of secondary concern. I'd been drinking their Mother Clone Zinfandel and liked it so much I wanted to go to the source and sample their other wares. Little did I know then that Mother Clone served as my gateway not only to Pedroncelli specifically, but also the world of Zinfandel and Dry Creek Valley as a whole.
That first taste was much earlier in my wine-drinking life, and my general impression back then was that Pedroncelli was over-delivering in terms of the price-quality ratio. Sometimes as life goes on and we experience more, what we once thought doesn't always hold true. Over the last couple of decades I've tasted countless thousands of wines priced all over the map. They've included great, good, mediocre, awful and a fair number of legendary wines. With that experience under my belt, I've found that there are some producers that I don't go back to anymore. In some cases the wines aren't consistently good; in others my palate has shifted away from what they're doing. One thing has remained constant -- I keep going back to the Pedroncelli wines over and over again. They remain a family owned and operated winery that puts out wines of distinction that offer tremendous value to consumers. The wide availability of most of their portfolio across the country also adds to their appeal. Today I'll take a look at three current wines from a producer that has had as much an impact upon me as a wine lover as any others I have tried.
The Pedroncelli 2010 Dry Rosé of Zinfandel was produced using fruit mostly grown at their home vineyard, along with a small amount of fruit sourced at one other vineyard. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel. About 1,100 cases of this Rosé were produced, and it has a suggested retail price of $10. This Rosé leads with a Salmon hue that simply looks like perfection in the glass. Strawberry and crème fraiche aromas waft from the glass. The palate is juicy and loaded with watermelon, cherry and hints of rhubarb. White pepper and hints of tart cherry emerge on the finish. This wine has just a hint of sweetness to it. Pair this with a Saturday afternoon lunch of Sloppy Joes, a cheese course or a bean-based chili. It'll work really well with those dishes and more, as well as getting you in the mood for spring.
The Pedroncelli 2009 Three Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (78 percent), Cabernet Franc (15 percent) and Merlot (7 percent). After harvesting, the fruit was crushed into temperature-controlled stainless steel where it underwent fermentation. Barrel aging took place over 12 months in a combination of American (70 percent) and French (30 percent) oak. Pedroncelli produced 7,100 cases of this vintage, and it has a suggested retail price of $17. Blackberry and cherry aromas lead the nose of this Cabernet Sauvignon, and a hint of vanilla bean is present as well. Cherry flavors dominate the palate with both black and red varieties chipping in. Red plum plays a role here as well, and leads to the finish which shows of black pepper, nutmeg, clove and bits of cinnamon. The finish is above average for the price point. The Three Vineyards Cabernet is marked by racy acidity. This sips well on its own, but excels when paired with substantial foods. The hearty stews of winter are a perfect foil. Most people know about the Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley; what a lot of folks don't realize is that Cabernet Sauvignon is their secret weapon. There are quite a few examples of excellent Cabernet Sauvignon from Dry Creek Valley that outshine many neighboring appellations on value. This example from Pedroncelli is one of them.
The Pedroncelli 2007 Four Grapes Port was produced using fruit sourced at the Pedroncelli Estate Vineyards. The specific vineyard was planted in 1995. This offering is a blend of Tinta Madeira, Tinta Cao, Touriga Nacional and Souzao, the traditional varieties utilized to make Port in the Douro. The fruit was harvested in the field blend style. Fermentation is halted with neutral grape spirits, and barrel aging occurred over 42 months in American oak. This Port is finished in 500 ml bottles and has a suggested retail price of $19. Dark fruit aromas and spice are prominent on the nose of this wine. Those fleshy plum and dark berry characteristics carry through to the palate where they're joined by bits of brown sugar and plum pudding spices. Kirsch Liqueur, dark chocolate and wisps of earth emerge on the finish, which has excellent length. This Port has medium tannins which recede with some air. Year after year this Port knocks me out. I've tasted a lot of Ports, dessert wines and the like from California -- this is far and away the closest example to a traditional example from Portugal you'll find in the Golden State. And while this may not be intended to age for numerous decades, it will certainly improve and drink well for the next 15 years. Considering the $19 suggested retail price of a 500 ml bottle, it's a flat out steal. Drink it with dark chocolate, cheeses, or let it act as dessert all by itself.
I'm a huge fan of the Pedroncelli wines and the Dry Creek Valley as a whole. This is evidenced by the fact that I run a site, Drink Dry Creek, dedicated to this awesome valley. Pedroncelli Winery continues to deliver great values and really delicious wines. Their portfolio contains offerings that are perfectly suited for everyday consumption, and bottles that are certainly appropriate for special occasions as well. I've been drinking the Perdroncelli Wines for almost 20 years now; I plan to do so for many years more. If you travel to Sonoma, stop by and see them; they have delicious wines and you won't find a friendlier group of folks. And if you won't be there soon, check your local wine shop for one of the Pedroncelli wines -- they're worth your time and money.

UFC News: 'Cyborg' Santos Posts Pic Wearing 'Ronda Will Be My B****' T-ShirtFebruary 28, 2013
If the official Punishment Athletics Twitter page is any indication, it looks like Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos hasn't given up on a potential superfight with Ronda Rousey.
The former Strikeforce women's featherweight champion tweeted a picture and caption that should certainly catch the attention of the "Rowdy" one:
— Punishment Athletics (@Punishment99) February 28, 2013
The timing of the jab is a little strange, considering the Brazilian asked to be released from her UFC contract because she could not make the bantamweight limit of 135 pounds.
The UFC gladly granted her wish and she quickly signed with the all-women's promotion Invicta Fighting Championships, taking on Ediane Gomes in her promotional debut on April 5.
Meanwhile, Rousey, the UFC women's bantamweight champion, is just coming off her first successful title defense at UFC 157 on Saturday, putting away Liz Carmouche with a first-round armbar.
While Carmouche was finished with the same first-round submission that finished all of Rousey's other opponents, she provided a tough test for the champ and nearly locked up a rear-naked choke early in the fight.
The bad blood between Rousey and Santos is well documented, and the fact that they have been the two most dominant women in the sport in recent memory makes a fight seem academic.
However, because neither camp can agree on fighting on bantamweight, featherweight or a 140-pound catch weight, the matchup remains nothing more than a fantasy.
Nevertheless, Cyborg's Twitter post shows that she still has Rousey in her crosshairs, so let's not rule this blockbuster women's fight out just yet.

This is a look at the moments that capture life in the city, from the memorable scenes to the hassles … like parking. Let me know when you come across one.
Last weekend 3,500 people filed into the Pike Street Annex, across the street from the Washington State Trade and Convention Center for what was billed as "Seattle's premier indulgence and style event for women."
They were there to be pampered, fitted for bras and for lessons on flirting.
With booths with clothes, cute purses and makeup, it was about life – which was kind of interesting because a few months ago, the place was filled with corpses.
It was totally different, said a woman who went to both Crave and the Bodies exhibit. She would only give her first name, Cheryl.
"It was a lot darker in here," she said. And everybody was still alive.
A little earlier, Cheryl and 20 other women had been sitting in front of a stage where Alma Avery Rubenstein had been exhorting woman to get out and flirt.
"Throw your bust out. Throw your butt out. Work it," she said.
Rubenstein, who is the founder of Professional Dater, a dating service, told the women to write their phone numbers of slips of paper and fold them up tight. That way, it would take awhile for the men they were trying to pick up to unfold them – and give the women time to escape before they were shot down.
You could say "Excuse me, I think you dropped this" before handing it to the men, she said. "You don't have to tell the truth."
A little later, Ellen York, an image consultant, was on the same stage talking to a different group of women. She told them how baggy clothes with bright ornate patterns camouflage large breasts and big butts.
Bodies were still on the minds of the people there.

When robots take over the world, it will surely be more or less like when humans did: Some will be jerks, some will gather all the power, and some will just want to shred. Ted Cocuzza envisions a world where robots still have the freedom to throw a steezy layback grind on a DIY spot when they feel the need.
As always, every order will come with two free classic Daddies stickers at no cost. We know... we're sweet.

As most of you know, that due to the unknown cause of my neurological condition is starting to get me down. It is frustrating and disheartening when the doctors are unable to give you the answers that you so desperately crave. It is simple – being undiagnosed is dejecting and can causes psychological symptoms such as depression. All we crave is a diagnosis – a name for the cause of all that we go through on a daily basis. A name that confirms that we are not crazy or that the symptoms are all in our head.
Due to the weakness in my legs as well as the severe dizziness and fatigue that I experience due to my undiagnosed condition, I am often unable to get out of my bed and so confined to my bed for days at a time. Staring at the same four walls of my bedroom; a place where I spend a lot of my time anyway is not a positive experience. It is often a painful reminder of my predicament; a predicament that I am an undiagnosed chronically ill patient. Being confined to my bed, leads to feeling of loneliness and isolation – how many times when experiencing severe symptoms have thought you were the only person to be going through this experience? Is that a yes I hear? Me too.
However, Voltaire once stated "I have chosen to be happy because it is good for my health". A truly inspirational quote, and one that is supported by research – there is a lot of evidence that suggests that being positive makes you feel less stressed; has a positive influence on your immune system and has a huge influence on your overall well-being.
But how can we still remain positive when living with a chronic illness, which has such a negative influence on all areas of our lives?
Well, for me I have started to assemble a 'positivity board'. A board with cards, postcards, or letters that are both positive and in turn makes me feel more positive and happy despite being bed-bound or dealing with unpleasant.
The board is no way finished but at the moment includes a couple of cards that I found in a local art gallery that includes positive quotes, for example "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take; but the number of moments that take our breath away" and my personal favourite "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain." Also, on my board is a gorgeous card that was sent to me by a dear friend which has some really lovely words both outside and inside the card which I shall treasure and which brightened my day when I received it – a time when I really needed it.
I also found a couple of butterfly clips which I found in a local shop which I bought just to brighten the board and because of my love of butterflies.
Try making a board for yourself and fill it with all the things that make you happy or makes you feel a little more positive despite whatever circumstances that you often find it hard to cope with, or one which has a negative impact on your life.
Stay Calm…and make a positivity board!
If you come across any cards that has any positive quotes or perhaps with a lovely picture of a butterfly or sunflower or anything else positive, let me know in the comments section and help fill my positivity board!
