Warriors unite: 2 districts join forces for golf
Staff writer
Marion and Peabody/Burns golfers are joining forces for the first time ever to compete together during this year's golf season.
Jim Pohlman, who has 60 years of golfing experience and has coached Peabody-Burns for the last 11 years, will coach the combined team.
"The team will be competing as the 'Warriors' since both schools have the same mascot and a common color," Pohlman said. "Royal blue will be their colors in competition."
Since so many of his golfers have never golfed before, Pohlman plans to focus on building the team's basic understanding of the game as well as work at developing fundamental chipping and putting skills before he works his way up the irons and teaches proper driver techniques.
He said some of the younger players have asked him how to hit a "Happy Gilmore shot," to which he replies, "no, no, no," and tries to impress upon them the fact that big drives are not the key to golf. He tells golfers 70-percent of the shots they will be making should be from within 100 yards of the hole.
Pohlman said he also has been encouraging golfers to play together outside of practice because there is only so much he can teach them.
"Some of the beginners are showing a real possibility of becoming very good players and most of the upper classmen will need to step up and be leaders," he said. "Marion senior Jared Hague has the most experience. He is a very good possibility for a state bound player in May."
With 13 golfers, eight golfers are from Marion and are five from Peabody-Burns. Between both schools, Hague is the only returning letterman.
However, Pohlman said Marion senior Lauren McLinden and Marion sophomore Jade Corona, as well as Peabody-Burns junior Brent Buller also have competitive experience.
The remainder of the team is made up of Marion golfers Jason Brewer, Austin Molleker, Jarrett Johnson, Ezra Darnall, and William Holt; and Peabody-Burns golfers Kaden Gibson, Ian Orrock, Jayton Scott, and Dylon Ehrlich.
The combined team will be practice and have tournaments at Marion Country Club while the team will follow Peabody-Burns golfing schedule until regional and state competition when each will compete at their appropriate classification; Marion at 3A and Peabody-Burns at 2A.
Until then, Pohlman said the varsity squad would be determined in practice by the players. He plans to have golfers compete each week for the top six positions. The golfers with the best scores during practice will compete on varsity regardless of if they were varsity the week before.
"The combined team is a win-win situation," Pohlman said. "Both schools were struggling to find a full squad. Now I've got a full varsity and a full JV team."
The teams' first golf meet will be on April 8 in Herington.

The Long-Term Outlook for the BRICs and N-11 Post Crisis
What the future has in store for BRICs and the N-11 economies
The BRIC and N-11 countries are emerging from the crisis better than thed eveloped world.
As a result, our long-term projections for the BRICs look more, rather than less, likely to be realised.
It is now possible that China will become as big as the US by 2027, and the BRICs as big as the G7 by 2032.
Within the BRICs and N-11, China, Brazil, India, Indonesia and the Philippines appear to be performing best.
Bangladesh, Egypt, Korea, Nigeria, Turkey and Vietnam form a second group of countries that have performed broadly in line with expectations.
Iran, Mexico, Pakistan and Russia have need for improvement.
We show the ongoing dramatic BRIC influence in key product markets, with autos and crude oil as examples.

Cheerleader Thought She Messed Up The Routine - Then The Magic Happens

Cheerleader Finds Herself At The Center Of A Huge Surprise In 3rd Quarter Show
October 14, 2015
Ariana Rosado, a Luvabull cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls, will never have a performance quite as memorable as the one that occurred during a third-quarter timeout on Dec. 5, 2013, at a Bulls versus Miami Heat game. Halfway through the performance, Rosado found herself completely lost and confused in the middle of an unfamiliar routine, but it didn't take her long to figure out what was really happening.
"As a dancer, you're told to just continue to go, no matter what happens in the music," Rosado told the Huffington Post in an interview.
Rosado was left in the dust when the music suddenly switched from the expected Britney Spears track to Bruno Mars' "Marry You." All of the other Luvabulls switched to a dance routine that Rosado had never learned, and she was left standing starkly still in the center of the court with the look of someone who is clearly confused.
Knowing that the show had to continue, Rosado was ready to gracefully walk off the court, but the Chicago Bulls' mascot, Benny the Bull, rushed out to make sure Rosado stayed. Benny gently led Rosado to a chair brought out to half court and had her sit down in the middle of the other Luvabulls' routine.
Rosado explained to the Huffington Post that this was when she first started to piece together what was really going on, saying, "I was in such shock that I really didn't even hear the song for a while until I actually sat down in the chair and paid attention to it. After that, I heard the song and I started kind of understanding what was going on. I kept on asking, 'Where's Shane? Where's Shane? Where's Shane? Where's my boyfriend?'"
Sure enough, Shane Zackery, Rosado's boyfriend, removed the Benny the Bull costume after a minute or so, confirming what she had been figuring out: This was her marriage proposal. After Zackery got down on one knee in front of the packed stadium, Rosado joyously said yes, and the couple was immediately bombarded with hugs and congratulations from the other Luvabulls.
When asked by the Huffington Post, Zackery explained that he pulled off the whole endeavor by first speaking to one of Rosado's teammates, who helped him get in contact with the Luvabulls' coach to get everything organized. He said that he picked this particular game because it happened to fall on his birthday and also because he is a huge LeBron James fan (James was playing for the Miami Heat at the time). Most importantly, he explained, he just wanted to do something wonderful for Rosado.
Rosado told the Huffington Post that she and Zackery met during their first year at St. Xavier University in Chicago, where both were majoring in business and had a lot of classes together. For two and a half years, Rosado and Zackery were simply friends, but then they started dating and continued to throughout the rest of their time at St. Xavier. When asked by Huffington Post if he was worried about Rosado rejecting him, Zackery assured that he and Rosado were both head over heels in love, and he was not worried about her saying no.
If you pay attention to Zackery's body language after he removes the mascot suit, it's clear that he's racked with nerves in front of so many people. Some YouTube commenters voice concern in comments on the actual YouTube video that Zackery's behavior after proposing was standoffish, unromantic or in some way selfish — for example, he does not have an over-the-top smile, and he lets go of Rosado's hand as they leave the stadium together — but judging by the way he talked about Rosado in his Huffington Post interview, it's safe to assume that these commenters are far from accurate.
Not everyone is a seasoned performer, like Rosado, comfortable in front of thousands of people and on live television; those circumstances are enough to make some people cry or run for cover out of anxiety, so what Zackery did is quite the feat. If he seemed rushed and distracted to get out of the stadium, it may have had something to do with the fact that he had just made himself vulnerable in front of thousands of strangers for the sake of creating the perfect surprise for the woman he loves.
Rosado and Zackery have won the hearts of thousands of strangers who have watched the video, many of whom left comments expressing amazement at how much Zackery was able to pull off and also at how genuinely surprised Rosado was. She may have been utterly confused and lost at the beginning of the performance, but she couldn't have looked happier by the end. The look of unbridled happiness, genuine surprise and pure love on Rosado's face as she saw Zackery emerge from the Benny costume was both beautiful and priceless; she may perform at other games, but none of them will be quite like this one.

what's everyone's favorites at the moment,i've been planting buttonbush and blackgum alot this spring.
what's everyone's favorites at the moment,i've been planting buttonbush and blackgum alot this spring.
I have this wonderful bamboo plant I got from someone farther north, It blooms really late in the fall, and my bees loved it. As soon as I figure out just how invasive it is, I will split it and encourage it to spread in a controlled environment. I want to plant some Black Locust too, but haven't found a source for it. My other favorites are my Jack in the Pulpits and Trilliums, but the bees don't really care for them.
There are lot's of black locust here. They are very aggressive and very hard to handle due to the thorns. I always liked them anyway except when getting stuck. They are quite poisonous and it takes weeks for a deep stick to heal.
Hoosierhiver, how many years is it before a new buttonbush plant blooms? I have some growing wild on the place, but also started some from seed this year, and was just wondering how long I'll have to wait for blooms from the new ones.
i've read it takes 5 years,but i've seen them bloom after 3 yrs.goldfinches and ducks like the seeds.a better way to propagate them is from cuttings or just bury part of a branch that is still attached to the main bush,water it well for a few weeks then it should be rooting out from the burried part,cut it and transplant.
I've been wanting to find some sourwood trees. I finally was able to purchase 3 of them at the Bernheim Forest & Arboretum annual plant sale today. Now to figure out where to plant them!
I discovered this week that bees in this area love Carolina Buckthorn (think that's what it's called). I have some that grows wild along the creek, and they have been in it heavily for about a week now. Seems they are ignoring about everything else, at least on my place. I have no idea if it produces much of anything for nectar, but there's something about it that the bees love.
I noticed the same thing a couple of years ago. The bees love it! I have a few trees right next to the apiary. I assume I have more on the rest of my property.
Be careful with the buckthorn, don't know how it is related to the buckthorn here in MN, (I think it's a European Buckthorn) but it has been placed on the invasive list, it started as an ornamental, but is no longer even legal to sell, it takes over everything, and crowds out natives, and spreads like crazy.
I don't think the Carolina Buckthorn is invasive, at least I've not heard that or seen evidence of it. It doesn't seem to spread that easily via seeding, and I don't think it spreads by the root system, but I could be wrong. Now, roughleaf dogweed is what I call invasive, and unfortunately, the bees don't seem to work it. It has pretty little white flower clusters that remind me of viburnum, but I've yet to see a bee on it. Well, maybe one bee.
Like dragonfly, I've not noticed any invasiveness of the Carolina buckthorn.
Blue thistle,or globe thistle,grow's wild around here.the farmer that I've got a bee yard on his place plant's about 2 acre's of wild flower's every year so I guess that is why there is so much thistle there.there is a patch of it growing next to my bee's that has the hill side covered in it.I was looking at it & noticed a bee almost on every flower.I came back home & dug out my old copy's of A.B.J. & found it in the may 2002.(by the way did I tell you I was a pack rat.)It said the plant is known in the beekeepering name as Chapman's honey plant .one thing for sure my bee's love it.
What do any of you know about Simpson's honey plant, aka Scrophularia Marilandica, or Late Figwort? I read that it is a great bee plant, and I have started about thirty of them from seed this year that appear to be doing very well. Do any of you have experience with this one? I have yet to see if it can survive the Texas summers, but I think I read that it grows wild down into Oklahoma, which is not much better.
Is there any kind of Locust tree which is not a thorny proposition? I've heard of other kinds, but don't know what they are.
Joel, there's a variety of honey locust that is thornless, but believe it or not, I've read that it's not a good bee tree. Maybe this information was incorrect, but check on it before you plant any because they're not particularly pretty trees.
I have 3 Honey Locust trees with no thorns. They make very good shade but drop many seed pods in the fall and this makes quite a mess as the pods are 6 to 12 inches long and are a very dark brown color. In 20 years of beekeeping I have never seen a bee near these trees so I assume that the bees don't like the flowers on the trees in the spring. The birds do not even eat the seeds from the pods and the squirls seem to avoid the trees completly. These trees seem to have a very strong odor that repels the animals.

you guys are right honey locust are not a nectar source,they can be a nice shade tree.black locust is what the bees like,but it's not an especially pretty tree,except when it's blooming.
an endangered and relatively unknown tree grows in my area,the yellow wood tree (cladistrus lutea)sp?,when it blooms which is infrequently it produces outragous big grapelike clusters of purple flowers.a beautiful native tree.
In Australia the Eucalyptus tree is the best source for nectar.
Ive seen trees teeming with bees in them. ( and Koalas too )
Are there many Eucalypts over there.?
I don't think there are any eucalyptus trees here. But I could be wrong. What does eucalyptus honey taste like? If it tastes like eucalyptus, it doesn't sound that good, but then honey is sometimes suprising.

Since I hope that there were 7 teams in Croatia, it's probably just my biased opinion to say that I would agree that the next leg is a TBC. I doubt TAR would try to squeeze in a flight to leave at night. They usually always leave in the day. Knowing that there is a U-Turn on this leg, replacing a yeild, it sort of supports a TBC. When there was a yeild it was usually a NEL. Carry On...

Yes indeed. The Ponte Vecchio in Florence is world famous. With the Arno River, Florence has several bridges.

Fatah's Facebook: Glorifying terror, inciting hatred, and erasing Israel
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Jan. 7, 2013
Fatah's Facebook:
Glorifying terror, inciting hatred,
and erasing Israel
Fatah's heroes:
Saddam Hussein, Dalal Mughrabi and the rifle
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
January 1st is the date Fatah celebrates as the anniversary of its first terror attack, which it calls "Launch Day."
Palestinian Media Watch
has examined how Fatah used its Facebook page to mark its 48th anniversary.
The page glorifies violence and terror as acts of heroism, and depicts a world without Israel. The Facebook page is filled with pictures of automatic rifles and slogans venerating arms. In some pictures, young children are carrying rifles.
Other pictures show maps of "Palestine" that include the PA areas as well as all of Israel. Fatah's page glorifies Saddam Hussein and memorializes terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who led the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history: a bus hijacking attack that killed 37 civilians.
In addition to being PA Chairman, Mahmoud Abbas is Chairman of Fatah as well.
As part of its celebrations, Fatah posted two pictures showing young children holding automatic rifles that are almost as large as the children. One picture has the words:
"The 48th anniversary of the Launch of the Palestinian revolution"
"My mother gave birth to me to fight,
and Fatah gave me the gun."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 20, 2012]
Another picture shows a young girl marching with a rifle, and Fatah's Facebook administrator chose to caption it as follows:
"This is Fatah, spark of the Palestinian revolution, the revolution that turned refugees into fighters and turned fighters into an army to build the state. This picture shows columns of refugees who Yasser Arafat turned into fighters by virtue of his keffiyeh (i.e., headscarf) and his revolution."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 28, 2012]
For several days, the cover picture on Fatah's Facebook profile showed a masked man holding an automatic rifle, and three Palestinian flags flying over the Temple Mount. The picture was titled "48 [years] since the Launch of Fatah."
The name of the page is "the Palestinian National Liberation Movement – Fatah/ The Central Page." The description says that the profile is administered by the Enlistment and Organization Commission of Fatah, with a link to the Commission's website: www.fatehorg.ps
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 23, 2012]
Saddam Hussein and Dalal Mughrabi as role models
The page administrator posted two pictures of Saddam Hussein. One shows him laughing with the following text below the picture:
"He smiled to deny the enemy the pleasure of victory. May Allah have mercy on you, Saddam Hussein. "
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 20, 2012]
In the second picture, Saddam Hussein is shown in uniform, holding a rifle, with the following text glorifying him:
"Today, December 30, 2012, is the sixth anniversary of the death of the hawk of the Arabs and the lion of the Tigris and Euphrates: As we walked we knew that the gallows were in fact the ladder of faith for the glorified Field Marshal Martyr (
) President Saddam Hussein."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 30, 2012]
Female terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who led the Coastal Road terror attack in 1978 in which terrorists hijacked a bus and murdered 37 civilians, is also glorified with her picture and the words:…"On this day in 1959 Martyr (
) Dalal Mughrabi was born, hero of the 'Martyr Kamal Adwan' mission, bride of Jaffa and the gentle energizing force of Fatah."
The picture itself is inscribed with the words: "All songs call to you, Dalal… the path to the homeland."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 30, 2012]
Maps denying Israel's existence
Many pictures added by the page administrator show a map of "Palestine" that erases and replaces all of Israel:
In this picture, the Palestinian flag flies over the entire area of the state of Israel symbolizing political sovereignty. The letter "h" in the word "Fatah" is wrapped around the map of "Palestine."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 21, 2012]
In the next picture, a map painted in the colors of the Palestinian flag can be seen on the right. The map includes not only Palestinian cities, but also Israeli cities like Safed, Acre, Tiberias, Haifa, Beit Shean, Nazareth, Jaffa, Ramle, Be'er Sheva, and Jerusalem. In the upper left corner, there is a picture of terrorist Dalal Mughrabi. The next picture shows Arafat with Abu Jihad, one of the founders of Fatah who was responsible for many terrorist attacks, among them the Coastal Road attack that Dalal Mughrabi led.
The Fatah logo, which includes a grenade and crossed rifles over the map of "Palestine" that erases Israel, appears in the center of the picture, and the text reads:
"Committed to the promise of… the Launch."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 31, 2012]
The rifle is drawn in the word "Fatah" and is also depicted on the map:
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 20, 2012]
Arafat waves a rifle next to a map of "Palestine," which is part of the number 48.
The text above the picture says:
"1/1/1965 – we are a nation that loves liberty and our will is strong. Fools, enemies and international resolutions will not daunt our determination."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 22, 2012]
Fatah's logo and below it:
"Al-Asifa (name of military unit) will continue to be the torch of the armed struggle."
[http://www.facebook.com/fateal3sfh, Dec. 19, 2012]
The next picture shows Yasser Arafat, Abu Jihad and other senior Fatah officials with a map of "Palestine" in the background.
The text of the picture opens with a verse from the Quran lauding death in battle:
"In the name of Allah the All-merciful, 'of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least' [Quran, Sura 33:23, Pickthall translation]
Fatah is the eternal revolution and Al-Asifa is the torch of the armed struggle… Fatah… a journey of sacrifice and giving."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 28, 2012]
The next picture includes a rifle and a key next to the same map that includes all of Israel. The key symbolizes Palestinian claims of ownership to the land of the State of Israel and the claim of a "right" for residents of refugee camps to "return."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 31, 2012]
Glorification of violence and terror
The text accompanying a picture of a pen dripping blood says:
"Fatah, the Al-Asifa forces, the letter-bombs (autumn 1972): 40 letter-bombs were sent to Israeli and American diplomats, and one of them killed Ami Shchori, Israel's agricultural attaché in London.
These were the most successful operations, and they taught the Mossad a lesson in military activity."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 29, 2012]
Rifle bullets spell out the words "Fatah 48." Next to the picture appear the words:
"All hail the 48 anniversary of the [Fatah] Launch"
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 19, 2012]
Another picture glorifies violence:
"48th anniversary of the Launch of the Fatah rebel."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 21, 2012]
In the following picture, Fatah glorifies rocket launches against Israel. The text on the picture reads:
"Aqsa 107 [mm], range: 30 km… Fatah … we were away for a long time… the state and the victory… the launch [of Fatah]."
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 29, 2012]
The next image again has the verse from the Quran glorifying death in battle:
"Fatah – the first bullet and the first rock… Hail to the launch of the Fatah rebel
[Quran:] 'Of the believers are men who are true to that which they covenanted with Allah. Some of them have paid their vow by death (in battle), and some of them still are waiting; and they have not altered in the least – Surah Al-Azhab, 23' [Quran, Sura 33:23, Pickthall translation]
The Martyrs of the leaders of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in the Al-Aqsa Intifada"
[https://www.facebook.com/fatehal3sfh, Dec. 20, 2012]
Next to the picture, the page administrator mentions a number of facts about Fatah that present murderous terror attacks as gloriously heroic. Here are a few of them:
"Did you know?
The Al-Aqsa Brigades were the first to successfully attack the Israeli Ministry of Defense. It was done by Martyrdom-seeker Ali Al-Julani."
Note: This refers to a shooting that took place in 2001 at an intersection near the Israeli Defense Headquarters in Tel Aviv. Ten people were injured, eight of them soldiers.
"Did you know?
The first retaliation for the assassination of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin was done by Martyrdom-seeker Fadi Al-Amudi of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades."
Note: This refers to a suicide bombing at the Erez crossing point in 2004 that killed an Israeli soldier and wounded three.
"Did you know?
The first explosive belt Martyrdom-seeking operation in the history of the Palestinian revolution was carried out by the first Martyrdom-seeker at the battle of Karameh, Martyr Abd Al-Mutalleb Al-Dmeik, known as "Phosphorous", one of the most outstanding activists of Fatah."
"Did you know?
The first Martyrdom-seeking operation against the Zionist nuclear arsenal was carried out by Fatah. It was commanded by the Martyr commander Kahlil Al-Wazir (Abu Jihad)."
Note: This refers to an attack on a bus carrying workers to the nuclear research facility in Dimona in 1988, when three people were killed.
"Did you know?
The first maritime operation in the history of the Palestinian revolution was carried out by Fatah heroes under the command of the hero Dalal Mughrabi."
Note: In 1978 female terrorist Dalal Mughrabi led the most deadly attack against Israel when she and other terrorists landed on the Israeli coast, hijacked a bus, and murdered 37 civilians, 12 of whom were children.
"Did you know?
The first female Martyrdom-seeker to carry out a military operation during the Palestinian Intifada was under the command of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade. It was carried out by Wafa Idris, who was the first female Martyrdom-seeker of the Al-Aqsa Intifada."
Note: Wafa Idris carried out a suicide-bombing in Jerusalem in 2002, and thus became the first female suicide terrorist of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. One was killed and 150 were wounded in her attack. Idris worked for the Palestinian Red Crescent in Ramallah. She crossed the check post into Israel wearing a Red Crescent uniform and carrying the bomb with her in the ambulance.
"Did you know?
The first mission against an Israeli target outside the occupied or Arab territory was the Munich operation carried out by Fatah under the command of Martyr Commander Salah Khalaf Abu Iyad, one of the outstanding Fatah commanders. It was carried out to sustain a Palestinian presence and representation in international forums."
Note: 11 Israeli athletes were murdered at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich by members of the Palestinian Black September organization.
"Did you know?
The first to change the Al-Aqsa Intifada into a military escalation were Fatah fighters who escalated the sniper operations against settlers in the West Bank and fired at settlements in [the] Gaza [Strip]…"
"Did you know?
The first Martyrdom-seeking operation in the Gaza Strip was carried out by Martyrdom-seeker Bahaa Al-Din Said, of the preventive security forces and a Fatah hero in the central district. This was a turning point in the struggle for Palestinian territory in the Gaza Strip."
Note: This refers to an infiltration into the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom in 2000, when a soldier was killed.
"Did you know?
The first to launch a rocket from the Gaza Strip at the Zionist enemy were the heroes of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Commanders Jihad Al-Amarin and Majdi Al-Khatib, to be exact."
"Did you know?
The mission with the most casualties was Fatah's. Martyrs Abd Al-Rahman and Samer Imad carried it out in January 2003. It killed more than 30 and wounded more than 200."
Note: This refers to a double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv's central bus station that killed 23 people (not more than 30 as written).
This is not the first time that Fatah has glorified terrorists and terror attacks on Facebook. Palestinian Media Watch has shown that the Fatah Facebook page featured a picture of the
eight terrorists
who attacked the Savoy Hotel in 1975, and that the Lebanese Fatah branch's Facebook page showed a picture of a woman dressing
her son in a suicide belt
Nor is it the first time that Fatah has glorified Dalal Mughrabi on its Facebook page. Palestinian Media Watch exposed a
poem praising Dalal
that appeared on the page.
"This is Dalal, my eternal love:
I loved the struggle with passion,
from the eyes of the young woman
I loved Palestine,
from the rifle of the young woman
I wished for Martyrdom,
along with the young woman
Dalal, my mysterious young woman
My revolutionary Jihadi inspiration
I loved her but knew only her name
Dalal Mughrabi
The legend of Mughrabi grew
spread within me, unparalleled
like the trees, she became a young woman
I learned in prison that the earth drew back
before Dalal, the sea raged and could not bear
that a self-sacrificing [Dalal] Mughrabi would arise from it
[She] remained days at sea, Allah's eye
guards and protects the rifle."

Chandra Johnson Bob Dylan Cover
So Johnson, NASCAR's five-time Sprint Cup champion, decided to take on the look of his favorite musical artist in ESPN The Magazine's "The Music Issue," which comes out Friday........aol.sportingnews.
Johnson and Chandra posed for photos recreating Dylan's iconic Freewheelin album cover. Johnson tweeted the photos on Wednesday.
"I've always been a Dylan fan, and I thought I could make myself look like him," he said in the magazine and on ESPN.com. "And we live in the West Village, very close to where the album cover was shot. So rather than hiring an actress, it just made sense that my wife, Chani, would be the girl [Dylan's then-girlfriend, Suze Rotolo]. I basically committed her without telling her."
The issue features other athletes posing for album covers from their favorite artists. Motocross star James Stewart poses as Rick James while NFL stars Trent Richardson, Marshawn Lynch and LaMarr Woodley pose as Run DMC.
Johnson also was asked to put together his favorite playlist, which includes tunes by Dylan, Black Keys, MumFord & Sons, the Avett Brothers, Tom Petty, Jack Johnson, Neil Young, Dave Matthews Band and Eddie Vedder.

The Polyurethane Foam Association (PFA) announced that Graham F. Peaslee, Ph.D. and Hartgerink Professor of Chemistry at Hope College was the winner of the spring 2013 Herman Stone Technical Excellence Award.
Peaslee's presentation of New Methods for Identification of Flame Retardants in Polyurethane Foams scored highest among the six technical papers presented during the PFA Spring General Business Meeting and Technical Program in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The paper focused on how changing flammability standards and increasing public awareness of the eco-toxicity of halogenated flame retardants may have significant implications for polyurethane foam manufacturers and their customers. The presentation described a novel method for the rapid detection and identification of flame retardant compounds in foams, plastics and fabrics. Preliminary results of ion beam analysis of several hundred foams samples compared to traditional methods were presented, along with the impact of this technology.
Peaslee was trained as a nuclear chemist and continues to do research and teach. He received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1987 and his A.B. from Princeton University in 1981. Peaslee helped develop the Hope College Ion Beam Analysis Laboratory to perform quantitative elemental analysis on solid, liquid and aerosol particulate samples. He has authored or co-authored more than 160 papers on related research and technology.
PFA Technical Program presentations are scored by meeting attendees. Comparative average scores are calculated based on the number of ballots submitted. Six papers were presented at the PFA Spring Technical Program. A CD containing all the papers can be ordered in the Meetings Section of the PFA website at www.pfa.org.
The objective of the Herman Stone Technical Excellence award is to encourage the sharing of technical innovations, the use of scientific methodology, and professionalism in presentation technique. The award was created by the Herman Stone family in honor of Stone's 80th birthday. Dr. Stone is a renowned researcher, inventor, expert in flexible polyurethane foam production technology, and a leading contributor to the FPF industry. In 2007, Dr. Stone was inducted into the Flexible Polyurethane Foam Hall of Fame, housed virtually at www.pfa.org.
The mission of the PFA is to educate customers and other groups about flexible polyurethane foam. This includes providing facts on environmental, health and safety issues related to flexible polyurethane foam production. The PFA also provides for its members and their customers generic technical information on the performance of flexible polyurethane foam in consumer and industrial products. The PFA was founded in 1980. More information is available at www.pfa.org.

Avalanche Peak
This is the most popular day walking peak at Arthur's Pass. It is the only peak in Arthur's Pass that is marked by a poled route to the summit
Time: 6 - 8 hr return
Type: Walking Track
Start the hike by registering your intentions at the Information Centre. While this is "just" a day trip you are still venturing into alpine territory and should be prepared.
Hike north along the road from the village for about half a kilometre. The track starts just around a corner from an old seat on the hillside past the first stream that you reach. If you get to McGarth Creek then you have walked much too far!
The start of the track is at a height of 780m. Your heart will get a bit of a work-out as the track rises steeply until it is free of the roadside. However this section is short and the track soon begins to sidle across and up the slope. Within half an hour you come to a small bridge across a stream. This is a good spot for a rest and to refill your water bottles. In another half hour you come to the next good spot. Just short of the 1000m contour the track breaks out of the mountain beech forest and into a clearing. From here there are good views along the valley and a peek across the pass. You may also think that you hear a jet engine - the roar is the Devils Punchbowl Waterfalls across the valley (the rock walls around the falls focus the sound on this slope).
Back into the bush, the track swings up onto a ridge leading south above the slopes you have just traversed. The bush soon becomes scrub on either side of the exposed ridge. At one point (at about the 1200m mark) you can look down and across Wardens Creek to the roof of a house in the village - about 400m below you. The ridge is not gentle as it rises 300m in a distance of 500 metres. Take your time and admire the views as they open up across McGarth Creek to Rome Ridge and Mt. Rolliston.
After an hours walking, you ascend a final steep section to emerge onto a small tussock-filled plateau. This is where I took the photo at the top of the page and where the first patch of snow was met. The path can be seen winding its way up the right-hand ridge. The Avalanche Creek Track climbs the left-hand ridge, avoiding the steep slopes near the summit by rising through the top snowfield to join Scotts Track.
Follow the track upwards and onto the ridge. There are a few steepish pitches on the way to the top but nothing to worry about. At a couple of points it is worthwhile to detour (carefully!) onto the rocky points overlooking McGarth Creek. The hardest thing I found about this section was a strong and cold west wind blowing me away from the ridge. When you start to thread your way through some large boulders then you are nearly at the top. The last challenge is the knife-edge ridge leading to the top itself. It is less than 20 metres long but will test those without a head for heights.
The top is a splendid place for lunch. It is a bit small - no flat space at all - so you may find yourself sitting a little down-slope from the summit. The views are out of this world. Mt. Rolliston (2275m) looms to the north with Crow Glacier extending westwards to a vertical icefall. If you are lucky then you may hear ice thundering down into the Crow Valley. Straight across the valley are the ramparts of Jellicoe Ridge. If you look beyond the end of Jellicoe Ridge there is the sharp peak of Mt. Greenlaw (2315m) with Mt. Murchison (at 2408m the highest mountain in the park) to its right. Swinging further to your left there is the ridge leading to Lyell Peak and Mt. Bealey (a track climbs from the village to Mt. Bealey). Looking back along the track there are the many peaks on the other side of the pass - Mt. Temple, Blimit, Mt. Cassidy, Mt. Aicken, etc.
Having drunk in the views and fortified the inner person, it is time to return. If you are returning via Avalanche Creek then follow the pairs of poles marking the track back until a set of posts dive to the right down the slopes.
Warning: In winter this track is subject to avalanche hazard. In winter conditions you must carry snow and ice climbing equipment and know how to use it.

Yemen takes historic step as millions voteFeb 22, 2012
Sana'a - After months of chaos and the ghost of civil war, Yemen marked a new chapter Tuesday as millions of Yemenis voted to end the turmoil and move towards a new future.
The presidential election is the first critical benchmark in a two-year transitional period, and voters turned out in large numbers, with many hoping that this election will bring a peaceful transition to democracy and development.
The elections were part of a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) agreement, which called for the United Nations to provide assistance to the respective Yemen institutions to conduct elections, begin a national dialogue process, and conduct a constitutional referendum within the transitional period.
In just 45 days after the signing of the GCC Agreement last November, the United Nations Development Programme was able to assist the national body in charge of the elections – the Supreme Commission on Elections and Referendum - and establish a Multi-donors Basket Fund (MDBF) to conduct the elections and support Yemenis in their transition to democracy.
Japan, Denmark, UK, Germany, and the UN Peace-Building Fund immediately joined the effort to cover the financial needs of presidential elections. US$ 8 million were allocated to cover this first phase.
UNDP procured and delivered polling kits and other equipment to 28,742 polling stations, and it trained their staff. By engaging the national post office, payment of more than 89,892 polling officials in addition to 102,556 security staff was ensured.
A voter education campaign was launched to reach millions of Yemenis through radio, television, online, mobile and on public transit.

Marketing Is Not Deceit
Saying that does not indicate an accurate understanding of my philosophy of marketing, or, in cases where my philosophy of marketing is understood, it indicates a very different philosophy. Marketing is not about lying; acquiring attention for its own sake is not useful from a marketing perspective.
Obviously the idea that marketing would be about lying does not reflect a high opinion of marketing. Prejudice against marketing is strong in the world of programming, and for a good reason. The tech industry pits marketers against programmers. It's actually an incidental effect, in that the old-school "boxed software which ships to stores" model required marketers to push for bullshit features and meaningless releases, and programmers, who generally regard integrity and logic very highly, to say nothing of avoiding inefficient busywork, inevitably resisted that. This created a culture of conflict within high tech, and to some extent that culture persists to this day, even when new Web-based software business models have obviated it.
Frankly, if your philosophy of marketing requires lying to people, I think pursuing that philosophy will inevitably involve some serious disappointment, failure, or frustration for you. Likewise, using that philosophy as an excuse for avoiding marketing yourself at all really just results in a particular type of marketing. You end up marketing yourself as somebody who is "too pure" for marketing.
But in reality, somebody who presents themselves as "too pure" for marketing actually appears as if they don't know or care about business. Marketing is really just communicating information about yourself. The only way to communicate nothing about yourself is to be invisible, or somewhere else. Even standing in a corner being quiet communicates something. The only way to be not marketing is to be not there. So if you say "I'm too pure for marketing," business people perceive you as simply not being part of the picture. In some cases that's a good thing, but in many cases it's a very bad thing.
Marketing yourself as a programmer means drawing attention to something useful that you've done. That's it, and that's all.
4 comments:
There was a comment I had to delete because it was rude. I'm giving you an edited version here:ReplyDelete
"Many people...have been generally furious with me."
Nobody's furious. They've just correctly identified you as someone who doesn't really know what they are talking about. There are lots of [programmers] with no understanding of the fundamentals running around making the rest of us look bad. Trying to make yourself look good by removing comments probably didn't help your case.
And now a response. I delete rude comments. Many programmers don't feel any need to be polite with each other. Many programmers get into religious wars with each other instead of learning from each other. I believe these facts are related, and unhealthy - both on an individual level and for our industry as a whole.ReplyDelete
I do not allow rudeness in my blog because I am only interested in the type of discussion between programmers which leads to people learning. I think rudeness inhibits open discussion.
Regarding the presence or absence of fury, I wouldn't be swearing at people, stating broad generalities about them, or accusing them of general incompetence without any knowledge of their job performance if I was thinking rationally. I don't think anyone who exhibits those behaviors is likely to be calm. In fact I think the suggestion is absurd.
I don't think people have responded to my post appriopriately or rationally. I think you're all acting very immaturely, and I find it very hard to believe that emotion hasn't clouded anybody's reasoning. It might have been reasonable to state that you were not furious, but the statement you made, that nobody is furious, is almost certainly false.
Also, I'm talking about marketing in this post. I mentioned the flame war in passing, and I'm not interested in pursuing it.ReplyDelete
If I see another flame war comment, I'm closing the comments. I just don't have any time or interest, and I'm happy to let you conclude whatever it leads you to conclude about me.
can we please leave the comments open. Eventually the angry people will go away and we can resume having good dialog around your posts.ReplyDelete
anyways keep fighting the good fight.

China has pushed its defense spending to record highs as it builds a global force from the ground up.
The communist country has leapfrogged past advancements that took Western nations decades to perfect — and it's now looking to turn a profit on all that work.
Hurriyet today announced the race to equip Turkey with a long-range missile system is well underway and China's already sent other countries scrambling.
Europe, Russia, the U.S. and China are all competing for the $4 billion contract and Beijing's Precision Machinery HQ-9 is the lowest competing bid so far.
Word is the offer came in at $1 billion less than expected after Beijing tried to cut the original estimate by half.
American company Raytheon was forced to revise its offer to stay in the running, but officials there won't comment on just how much until the contract is selected next month.
In the end it may not matter if China loses money on the deal if the fears of some experts are proven justified, and it achieves access to new classified data.
Some believe that Russian and Chinese systems are incompatible with NATO systems and that with a successful bid, either of those countries would achieve access to classified NATO information.
Turkey has refused to exclude either China or Russia despite the fact it could, in fact, compromise NATO's entire "set of procedures."

Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship
Friday, July 20, 2012
Colorado Beach at Hacienda Iguana, Nicaragua
At the end of Day 6, 44 athletes remain in the Nicaragua ISA World Masters Surfing Championship, just one or two heats from the Medal Round. With conditions expected to improve on Saturday, it looks like there will be a very exciting completion to this first ever ISA world championship in Nicaragua.
Another full day of Repechage heats – followed by the semifinals of the ISA Aloha Cup – ran in two to three-foot waves, with ever-present offshore winds grooming them to perfection. Over the course of eight heats, the number of surfers eligible to win a coveted ISA medal was further trimmed. Twelve more surfers and one country were eliminated from contention, bringing the number of countries still competing to 13.
USA (8 athletes) and Hawaii (6) are ahead of the pack for the fight for Team Gold and the perpetual Eduardo Arena Trophy. They are followed by Brazil (5), Peru (5) and Australia (4). Japan had a difficult day, losing three of its five remaining surfers.
Four-time ISA Gold Medalist Juan Ashton (PUR) has been fighting his way through the Grand Masters (over-40) Repechage rounds since Day 3. As if competing in the elimination rounds weren't already difficult enough, with conditions further decreasing today, finding waves with scoring potential was a challenge.
"Being in the Repechage rounds, where you only have 15 minutes, and you don't know when the waves are coming – it could at the beginning or the end – is pretty dreadful," said Ashton, who won his heat with a score of 14.34. "I saw that first wave, saw my opportunity and gave it all I had, like it was a final. The guys from Japan (Yasunori Isobe finished third in the heat), in small waves are tremendous surfers. When I was competing in ASP events and the waves were small and at beachbreaks, they always surfed pretty well; that's why I knew they were going to be the surprise in this event."
Puerto Rico, which has won a Team Copper Medal the past two years, still has three athletes remaining in the event.
Argentina also has three athletes competing, and one of its strongest contenders for a medal is Martin Passeri in the Men's Masters (over-35). Last year in El Salvador, Passeri finished equal-13th in the division.
"You just need to be patient and find the right wave and give it your best. I know that the judges want to see us bury the rail, and if I catch the right wave, I know I can do it," Passeri said. "All the surfers in these rounds are really good, so anyone can win this event. I have to go heat-by-heat; I can't think ahead. I just need to be in the moment."
Peru was the only team in yesterday's Top 6, other than USA, not to lose one of its remaining athletes today. Magoo de la Rosa won his Kahunas (over-45) heat with a score of 13.03, allowing his country to stay strong with five athletes.
"It's a really tricky wave, and we are not used these waves, but little by little we are getting to know the wave and doing a little bit better every heat. Luck has been by our side too; we've had good waves and didn't waste the opportunity," said de la Rosa, who is a two-time ISA Medalist. "As the event continues, we are facing better surfers, so you just need to stay humble and keep focused on victory."
In the Women's Masters (over-35), both Repechage heats came down to the final moments in deciding who would advance, and whose event would be at an end. Andrea Diaz (CRI) was able to lock down a 6.5 to qualify to surf on Saturday.
"It was tough out there, because it's kind of small and I'm not the best in small surf, but I got one perfect right and managed to hit it a couple of times really, really well, so I'm super stoked," said Diaz, standing with the country flag draped over her shoulder and an arm around her daughter. "Pura vida!"
If Diaz can manage to advance through two more Repechage heats, she'll make the medal round. Last year, she finished one round short in fifth place.
Australia, Costa Rica, Hawaii and Puerto Rico Advance to Saturday's ISA Aloha Cup Final
The ISA Aloha Cup is a unique tag-team event that is run at every ISA World Championship, featuring eight invited nations. Each team includes five athletes (4 men, 1 woman) to compete in the semifinal/final format.
Australia, Costa Rica, Hawaii and Puerto Rico qualified through the hour-long semifinal heats to compete for the Gold Medal on Saturday. Each team of four surfers entered the lineup and caught two waves, which went toward one total score. Costa Rica and Puerto Rico progressed through the first semifinal, while Australia and Hawaii held on to advance to the final in the second semifinal. The Final will be the last heat of the day tomorrow, July 21.
The event webcast will be live beginning at 7:40am local time (6:40am PST; 9:40am EST; 2:40pm in Paris; and 11:40pm in Sydney) with The Morning Show at www.isawmsc.com/live.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Westchester County Department of Health has issued a rabies warning and is seeking a person who may have left five baby raccoons at the department's Mount Kisco office on Friday.
"The raccoons were left on our doorstep in a cage with bottles of milk, blankets and toys," said Dr. Sherlita Amler, commissioner of health in a press release. "They appear to have been well cared for and nurtured, which means that there was direct contact between these raccoons and the person or people who were caring for them. That's why it's important that we talk to the individual or individuals who left them to determine if they may have been potentially exposed to rabies."
The person or person in question should call the Department of Health at 914-813-5000 to assess their need for lifesaving rabies treatment.
The Health Department's press release said the baby raccoons appear to be healthy and are being placed with a certified wildlife animal rehabilitator, where they will remain in hopes that their caregiver can be located and evaluated. The only way to confirm an animal has rabies is by euthanizing it and testing its brain tissue, a step the health department is trying to avoid, the department statement said.
Rabies is a fatal disease that is spread through the bite or saliva of infected animals. Those animals most commonly infected are raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. However, domestic animals such as cats and dogs are also at risk because they can easily contract rabies from wild or stray animals. Anyone bitten by a rabid animal, or having contact with its saliva, may need to receive post-exposure rabies vaccination.
Unusual behavior may be the first sign of rabies in an animal. A rabid animal may become either abnormally aggressive or unusually tame. It may lose fear of people and become excited and irritable, or, conversely appear particularly passive and lethargic. Staggering and frothing at the mouth are sometimes noted.
All animal bites or contacts with animals suspected of having rabies must be reported to the Westchester County Department of Health at 914-813-5000, 24 hours a day.

Terrebonne's economic development agency used its first banquet Tuesday to highlight accomplishments and raise awareness.
Terrebonne's economic development agency used its first banquet Tuesday to highlight accomplishments and raise awareness.
"We kind of needed to do something in the public eye to show what TEDA does," said Donald A. Hingle II, chairman of the Terrebonne Economic Development Authority's board. "A lot of people don't understand what TEDA does. We do a lot for our community."
About 250 people attended the banquet at the Courtyard by Marriott in Houma.
TEDA's mission is to grow the number of jobs in Terrebonne Parish. It recruits businesses to the parish and helps already established businesses grow.
"The Parish Council said we needed to focus on small businesses, and that's just what we did," said Steve Vassallo, the agency's CEO.
Most recently, he said, the group:
- Established five-year economic relationship with Weihai, China.
- Launched a more comprehensive program to assist small developing businesses and existing businesses. The program includes offering startup grants, helping entrepreneurs develop business plans and connecting business people with local, state and federal assistance.
- Started a retail recruitment program that focuses on attracting stores to move into Houma.
- Sponsored two Contractor's College training programs in the past year preparing 40 attendees for the state contractor's licensing exam.
In her first four months on the job, Shannon Stone Rhodes, the group's business liaison, met with 272 small businesses, Hingle said.
The agency issued 11 mini-grants to small and minority-owned businesses using a $50,000 donation from the Foundation for Louisiana, a charity formed after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
TEDA also administers a program that helps businesses get up and running after hurricanes. It has issued more than 4,000 re-entry badges that allow owners and workers at businesses deemed critical to the parish's recovery to get back into the parish quickly.
The banquet's keynote speaker was the "voice of the New Orleans Saints," New Orleans sportscaster Jim Henderson. He reminisced about the start of his career and the people he has worked with along the way.
Henderson ended with the Saints' Super Bowl win after the 2009 season. It still brings tears to his eyes, he said, and not because he was announcing but because of what it meant to the city and everyone who has followed the Saints.

The smiling and crying babies of 2012
Politicians this cycle may be dogged by the popular notion they're acting like babies, but that hasn't stopped them from engaging in the time-honored tradition of photo ops with babies out on the campaign trail. Here are some of the cutest -- if most "emotionally manipulative" -- of those moments this year.
