I have been trying to maintain my peace and equilibrium these past few days, knowing the wingnuts were going to come out of the woodwork after the shooting in Newtown, trying to make political headway/religious headway out of this senseless act. I expect bullshit from the politicians, even the Westwood Baptist Church. Ray Comfort, James Dobson and that ilk doesn't surprise me. Par for the course for them. Reprehensible? Yes. Evil? Yes. Lacking any shred of common decency for your fellow man? Yes. So what else is new about that. Nothing. It's what they do.
But what is really yanking my chain is the response from everyday people around me. Actually agreeing with these sanctimonious, depraved, vile, abject, base, corrupt, loathsome, perverted, nefarious, repugnant, sleazy "men of god". Not all, of course, but enough to make me want to scream and pull out my hair. How the fuck can a loving god allow this? Because we have taken god out of the schools. Simple. Yeah, forcing Muslims, Buddhists, Jews and all others to repeat Christian prayers in school will magically make all violence disappear. Yeah, well all I have to say is FUCK YOU!!!
People, open your eyes. Think. This was not "allowed to happen". This was not a "judgement on America". This has nothing to do with god, religion, gays marrying, legalizing pot, or anything else you can try to attach to this all too human tragedy. These people were not "called home". A sick and perverted individual, who had access to assault style weaponry, did it.
And while I'm at it, I also don't want to hear "guns don't kill people, people kill people". If there has ever been a more idiotic saying, I simply can't think of it now. Duh.
I know this was kinda rambling, but I'm pissed, and just had to get this off my chest. Thanks for letting me vent.

When you think about it, if we go down the path these people are trying to beat us into following, we would be making ourselves exactly what the Jihadists said we were. It's terrifying. We would be justifying 9/11.
H. P., consider the proposition that 9/11 was justified, in Middle Easterners' minds, by American foreign policy in their lands since at least 1953 when our CIA overthrew Iran's elected leader, installed a tyrant, and trained his secret police to frighten Iranians into obedience.
Over oil. I had just returned from the Korean War and the news outraged me.
England's Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) was behaving like America's robber barons of the late 1800s. Iran's new elected government (their first, as I recall) wanted a higher royalty (nearer what the U.S. was paying Saudi Arabia) and other improvements. The CIA first asked President Truman to okay the overthrow and he refused. Soon after Eisenhower became president, he consented to the overthrow.
America aborted their attempt at democracy. After Iranians overthrew their tyrant, their religious crazies took over.
There's a lot more info in Wikipedia and elsewhere.
We do not know he was crazy. We do not know his motivations at all. No evidence is forthcoming indicating he had any sort of mental illness, as diagnosed by a licenced psychiatrist or physician.
"Crazy" is not defined as killing a certain amount of people (I kill one at a school, I am a murderer, I kill thirty, I am crazy).
Stigma of the truly mentally ill, however, is all too real. And when the press, blogs, fora, and other such places sling about jack-leg diagnoses of "he had Asperger's" and such with no evidence, it makes it that much harder for people with real mental disorders.
The mentally ill are eleven times more likely to be the victims of violence than other people, and one-quarter are the victims of crime every year.
Sceptics of course should be sceptical of press claims of "crazy" without evidence. So should atheists.
I don't think anyone here is calling the shooter "crazy". It's natural for a person to say, about some tragedy, "The people involved aren't like we are. That could never happen to folks like us!" But that's just the sort of gut-thinking that we ought to put second to logic.
In any case, I personally wasn't commenting about the shooter at all. I mean folks like Dobson and the like. Al Qaeda based their attacks on the false premise that they were kicking a militant, Christian goliath in the shins. But the truth is, America isn't, at it's heart, Christian. But folks like Dobson would that it were, and if they had their way, the false premise Al Qaeda was working with would be false no longer.
That is true. He is being called crazy on other sites. Here the poster writes he was a sick and perverted individual.
I might buy perverted, as murder is, ipso facto, perverse. Sick has many definitions.
Tony, those sanctimonious, depraved, vile, abject, base, corrupt, loathsome, perverted, nefarious, repugnant, sleazy men of god are in business for themselves. They're wanting people who agree with them to send them money.
WARNING: I'm about to be facetious.
Are you opposed to free enterprise capitalism? Are you (how awful) a socialist?
Jesus was a socialist. But the religious and the GOP do not let that little inconvenience get in the way of their rhetoric.
He took business away from bakers and fishers and from the money men he chased out of the temple.
He was a radical socialist.
An xian at Conservapedia even edited the NT to take out the socialism.
Isn't it cute when they go cutting and pasting their "holy" books?
And yet say they are "inspired" or "written by God," and thus infallible, and holy, and unchanging.
"If you don't want tax dollars helping the sick and the poor, then it's time to stop saying you want a government based on Christian values."—John Fugelsan, political satirist.
Tony, thanks for venting. Feel free to discuss whatever is on your mind.
In the interest of accuracy:
I've read that during the U.S. Civil War, soldiers (all of them either pitiable fools or damn fools) occasionally fired all their bullets and used their rifles as clubs kill their enemy. When they succeeded, they could truthfully say guns killed.
When I was in the U.S. Navy off North Korea, I was more concerned about shrapnel from shells fired by onshore guns than I was about the guns.
In short, my fellow emoting freethinkers, guns seldom kill people, bullets do.

Driver severely burned when cigarette ignites car
ELSMERE, Del. (AP) — Fire officials say a Delaware driver was severely burned when the lighted cigarette he threw out his car window was blown back in by the wind and ignited the interior of the vehicle.
It happened about 6:45 p.m. Sunday in Elsmere. Chief Deputy State Fire Marshall Robert Cox says in a news release that 49-year-old Travis Paul Smith of Elsmere suffered second- and third-degree burns to his lower body.
Fox says the vehicle came to rest in a ravine and several motorists stopped and pulled Smith to safety.
Fox says Smith was flown to the Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, Pennsylvania.

Dedicated to erasing discriminatory laws that she believed kept women from being free and equal citizens, Paul lived at the strategic headquarters of the organization she started. Paul and the NWP lobbied Congress to support federal legislation like the first proposed Equal Rights Amendment, which Paul drafted in 1921. She never saw the ERA realized, as it was never ratified by the necessary number of states. But the legacy of her fierce determination can be found in the 19th Amendment, the United Nations Charter, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Tucked among federal office buildings, the U.S. Supreme Court, and the U.S. Capitol, the Sewall-Belmont House & Museum, home of the National Woman's Party, stands today in the center of American government as a women's history museum, archive, and monument.

Stars, pols gather at inaugural balls
President Barack Obama celebrated his second and final Inauguration on Monday night with star-studded balls at the massive Washington Convention Center.
About 40,000 guests were expected at the two events, with 4,000 slated for the Commander-in-Chief's ball, catered to members of the military and their families, and the others invited to the larger Inaugural Ball. In 2009, in contrast, there were 10 official Inaugural balls.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Alicia Keys sings 'Obama's on fire')
Obama's first ball of the evening, the Commander-in-Chief's ball, got under way Monday night in a purple-lit room with orange spotlights roving in a space that included a stage, where members from each branch of the military were represented, a buffet line — serving up pasta, red sauce, alfredo, and fruit, among other options — a dance floor and a bar.
Obama appeared onstage at 8:48 Monday evening, according to the pool report. There, he thanked leaders from all of the military branches, as well as military families, wounded warriors and a host of others connected to the military.
"So this little party is just another way to say something we can never say enough: Thank you," Obama said. "Thank you for volunteering. Thank you for stepping up. Thank you for keeping us strong. Thank you for always making us proud. I have no greater honor than being your commander in chief."
( PHOTOS: Celebs at inaugural events)
The president addressed troops in Afghanistan via a monitor, and during the evening, he and Michelle Obama, along with the second family, danced with several members of the military.
"What I really want to do is come down and express the extraordinary gratitude, not just of me as your commander in chief, but more importantly, the thanks of all the American people," Obama said.
The Obama and Biden families also ventured to the Inaugural Ball, spread over two floors at the convention center, during the festivities Monday night.
Jennifer Hudson performed Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" for the president and first lady's first dance at both events. Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, along with senior Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett, looked on during one dance, a pool report said.
( WATCH: Kelly Clarkson performs at Inauguration 2013)
Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, danced to Ray Charles's "I Can't Stop Loving You," sung by Jamie Foxx. They also snuck a kiss during one dance, the report noted. Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina was spotted there.

Confession: I'm really bad at grilling.
Honestly, I've always avoided using the grill, designating those summer evenings of tasty charred meals to nights when my husband is available to man the station. I'm not sure why, but the grill has always intimidated me. Maybe it's because I've pretty much burned to oblivion everything I've ever grilled.
Regardless of my hang-ups, this week I'm instituting a change in my mentality. You'll notice a grill-heavy menu, which I will be cooking ALL. BY. MYSELF. (Note to my husband, since I know you're reading this Mike: If I ask you to take over, say NO).
I need to get over this redonkulous fear of the grill, and reclaim the mighty art of grilling from all those manly-men I've relied on all these years to produce my perfectly fire-singed morsels of delight. I mean seriously, if I can kick ass in the kitchen, I can certainly do alright cooking outdoors.
And just in case, I'll have the eight closest chinese takeout restaurants on speed dial. No joke.
Do you cook on the grill? If you do, what's your favorite grilled meal to make? Share with us in the comments section below!
On a side note, we'll be going into the city on Tuesday because my husband is attending the New York Stock Exchange closing bell ceremony. He'll be there to celebrate Foot Locker Inc's 100th year of trading on the NYSE. How awesome/exciting/cool/exciting is that?!? What's even more exciting is the prospect of finagling a tasty meal from the Halal cart while we're there. Omnomnom.
Breakfasts: quick oats, eggs & toast, fresh fruit, homemade yogurt, homemade granola
Lunches: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (I wonder if I can grill pb&j???), pasta with olive oil & parmesan, leftovers, raw fruits and veggies
Snacks: raw fruits and veggies, pretzels, yogurt, applesauce, popcorn

Jill Lawrence repeats [1] one of my least favorite claims about the 2012 election:
Pawlenty bet his campaign on the August 2011 Iowa straw poll, only to come in a distant third — behind Reps. Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul – and drop out the next day. If he had skipped the straw poll, he might have gone all the way to the nomination or the White House.
As Bernstein notes, this gets things backwards [2]. Pawlenty's failure in the straw poll confirmed the underlying weakness and failures of his campaign. As the former governor of a neighboring state and 2012's Huckabee imitator wannabe, he had made Iowa the centerpiece of his campaign. His fundraising throughout the year prior to the straw poll had been quite poor (especially for a so-called "top tier" candidate), and in the absence of some evidence that Pawlenty was competitive and gaining ground it would have likely dried up anyway. Pawlenty needed to compete in the straw poll to give his donors a reason to keep backing him. Skipping the straw poll wouldn't have saved his campaign or enabled him to go on to win the nomination. It would have simply delayed Pawlenty's withdrawal from the race.
Someone may point to Santorum's late surge in Iowa as proof that Pawlenty could have done the same if he had just stayed in long enough, but this overlooks a few things. Santorum had relocated to Iowa for almost all of 2011 and didn't even try to campaign in later primary states. Pawlenty's problem all along was to make the mistake of accepting the idea that he was a major contender right from the beginning, and so he spread his already limited resources thin in several different states. He organized his campaign as if he were the party's consensus candidate that he pretended to be instead of the insurgent candidate that he was. That put him in the absurd position of leaving the anti-Romney voters to the other candidates while vainly trying to peel off Romney voters that didn't have strong objections to Romney.
Perversely, Santorum benefited from being ignored all year long, since it allowed him to avoid scrutiny, attacks, and negative coverage, while Pawlenty suffered from being treated as the obvious alternative to Romney right from the start. On top of all of this, Santorum was simply a better retail campaigner and a better debater than Pawlenty, and these qualities eventually paid off for him. The idea that Pawlenty could have gone on to the nomination if not for the Ames straw poll is flattering to Pawlenty, but it isn't true. The main reason that it keeps circulating is that it serves as a useful excuse to justify ending the straw poll.

LOOKING FORARD: Nujood Ali, Yemen
Today Nujood Ali passes her time the way every 13-year-old girl should. She goes to school each day and spends each night at home with her parents and siblings. But having a childhood isn't something Nujood takes for granted. It's a right she fought hard for.
Three years ago, Nujood was forced by her parents to marry a man in his 30s. The man took her far away from her village in Yemen, far away from her beloved sisters. He promised Nujood's father that he would not try to have sexual relations with her until one year after she had reached puberty. He broke the promise immediately and forced himself on her on their wedding night. Nujood was 10.
Her agony was compounded when her husband began beating her. Nujood pleaded with her mother-in-law, but she offered no help. In fact, she urged him to hit her even harder.
But Nujood would not surrender to what others fated for her. In an act of extraordinary courage, Nujood spent her bread money on a taxi ride to a courthouse in Yemen's capital, Sana'a. She waited at the courthouse until she found a judge who would hear her plea for a divorce. Though child marriage is illegal in Yemen, no one could recall a young girl standing up for her own rights like Nujood did.
When word of her courageous defiance spread, a prominent Yemeni lawyer took her case and prevailed in court. That led to the simple but shocking title of Nujood's 2010 memoir: "I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced."
In the wake of international publicity generated by Nujood's plight, Yemen's legal system has stepped up enforcement of its child labor laws. The case has had a ripple effect throughout the Middle East, too. In Saudi Arabia, an eight-year-old girl married to a man in his 50s was granted a divorce thanks to the awareness prompted by Nujood's case.
Nujood, as it turns out, didn't just rescue herself. She inspired countless others to do the same.
I'm a single village girl who has always obeyed the orders of my father and brothers. Since forever, I have learned to say yes to everything. Today I have decided to say no.
- Nujood Ali

The purpose of this series is to highlight the real privacy and identity theft concerns associated with genealogy. In my first post in this series, I explained that the danger from identity theft has been dramatically overblown in the media. For example, it is twice as likely that you will have your wallet stolen, than to have a problem with identity theft via the Internet. This post continues with a discussion of privacy.
Privacy... What is really private and what is not.
Because genealogists research personal family matters, it may not be obvious, but they should be concerned about privacy and privacy laws. With the access to large online databases, people compile information about their family and then put that information online, sometimes in completely public Websites. As a genealogist, it is a good idea, before "sharing" private information, that you have some basic ideas about the privacy laws in the jurisdiction where you live.
To start out this discussion, there are two phrases that get tossed around a lot relating to privacy; first, is the so-called "right to privacy," and the second, is the so-called "expectation of privacy." A definition of the"right to privacy" is elusive, partly because there is a gap between the general perception of the meaning of privacy and the legal definition. For example, there is no comprehensive U.S. Constitution level definition of the right other than the interpretation of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the prohibition against unreasonable searches and seizures. On the other hand, the "expectation of privacy" is a legal test (meaning it must be interpreted by a court) defining the scope of the protection of the Fourth Amendment.
Privacy laws are mostly limited to smaller jurisdictions and are sometimes only local. Unlike the U.S., some countries, such as Canada, have a broad national privacy act. Notwithstanding the privacy laws that exist, generally, as far as genealogy is concerned a person's right to privacy dies with the individual. Obviously a dead person has no "expectation of privacy." Even so, some jurisdictions have laws prohibiting the release of "private" information about a dead person until, up to, thirty years after death or even longer. The information that can be disseminated varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In Texas for example, Chapter 26 of the Texas Property Code and the secretary of state's administrative rules found in title 1, chapter 76 of the Texas Administrative Code govern the use of a deceased individual's property rights, including the deceased individual's name, voice, signature, photograph, or likeness. A person who claims to own a property right of a deceased individual may register that claim with the secretary of state. Registration of a claim is prima facie evidence of the claim's validity, and a registered claim is generally superior to a conflicting, unregistered claim. Tex. Prop. Code § 26.007.
One well known limitation on the access to genealogical information about dead people is the seventy-five year limit on the publication of U.S. Census data. The latest Census presently available is from 1930 and the 1940 Census will not be made publicly available until 2012. Other countries extend that prohibition to 100 years.
Live people are another matter altogether. California even has a state agency dedicated to Privacy Protection. For living folks, privacy laws focus primarily on medical records (HIPAA or Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) and financial records. However, personal information that businesses and government agencies ask you for, may include the following: your name and home address, your home phone number, your email address, your Social Security number, your driver's license number, your financial information, such as credit card numbers, bank account numbers, and household income, your medical information, such as your health insurance plan, diseases or physical conditions, and prescription drugs used, your education and work experience, and other details of your personal life, such as your date of birth, the names and ages of your spouse or children, and your hobbies. See California Office of Privacy Protection.
In addition, quoting from the U.S.Department of Health & Human Services, "the Privacy Act of 1974 as amended at 5 U.S.C. 552a, protects records that can be retrieved by personal identifiers such as a name, social security number, or other identifying number or symbol. An individual is entitled to access to his or her records and to request correction of these records if applicable." See HHS.gov. "However, the Privacy Act binds only Federal agencies, and covers only records in the possession and control of Federal agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services has specific Privacy Act Regulations. There are additional privacy acts; the Privacy Act of 1974 requires that agencies create and maintain, as necessary, a System of Records Notices (SORN) as defined in the Privacy Act provisions. A system is subject to the Privacy Act if it contains a system of records; any item, collection, or grouping of information about an individual that identifies the individual, and where those records are retrieved by the name of the individual or by some type of identifier unique to the individual." See HHS.gov.
There are good reasons to be extremely cautious about putting sensitive, private information about anyone living online, especially where the information can be accessed by the public at large. However, most people would be utterly surprised at the amount of "private" information readily available on the Internet, either for free or for a very small fee. In future posts, I will give more information concerning the availability of personal information on the Internet, including how to find living people, but for right now, the kinds of information that you can obtain without much effort includes voter records, wills, marriage records, birth records, residence, Social Security numbers, information about neighbors, title searches, employment history, civil litigation records, criminal background checks, sex offender registries, credit history, major purchases, and many, many other categories of information.
When someone expresses a concern about giving out their Social Security number, that is a real concern, but practically anyone, with a few dollars, could find out your Social Security number in an few minutes' search on the Internet.
To quote a commentary by Bruce Schneier in Wired, the online magazine:
Aerial surveillance, data mining, automatic face recognition, terahertz radar that can "see" through walls, wholesale surveillance, brain scans, RFID, "life recorders" that save everything: Even if society still has some small expectation of digital privacy, that will change as these and other technologies become ubiquitous. In short, the problem with a normative expectation of privacy is that it changes with perceived threats, technology and large-scale abuses.More on privacy in the next post.

LONDON, July 29 (UPI) -- Kate Upton is surprised to find that people think of her curves as being plus-sized.
While interviewing for the September issue of Elle U.K., the 22-year-old beauty explained why she used to "beg" for the body that took her from being a "Florida farm girl" to the "world's hottest supermodel."
"When I first started modeling, I was a normal catalogue model," Upton told the fashion glossy. "Then, I became a woman, and I was really excited about becoming a woman. Because I'm from Florida, it's all about being in bathing suits."
Upton went on to say that the Sunshine State has a "different view of beauty" where "you are ugly if you don't have a curvy body."
"And I didn't have one, and then I got one, and thought, 'Yessss!'" she confessed. "And then people say: 'Oh, wow, you're healthy.' And you're like, 'Wait -- what? I've been begging for this body my whole life!'"
Upton rose to fame in 2012 after appearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, her third appearance in the magazine. The Florida native was catapulted to celebrity status after covering the magazine again the following year, joining a small list of models -- including Christie Brinkley, Elle Macpherson, Paulina Porizkova and Tyra Banks -- who have covered the the issue multiple times.
Upton's full interview with Elle U.K. will be unveiled on August 1, when the issue is released for sale.

Malcolm Cook (Fork Union, Va./Fork Union) hasn't officially decommitted from Virginia following the firing of four assistants, but the safety said he's re-opening his recruitment.
In the last 48 hours, the prospect has received 11 offers and entertained visits and phone calls from the likes of Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State and USC. He planned to speak with the Trojans after basketball practice Wednesday, and he chatted in-person with Penn State assistant Charles London on Tuesday.
"It doesn't really matter to me about other schools looking at me," he said, when asked whether this new attention was a consolation. "The reason I committed to Virginia was because of the defensive coordinator, Coach [Jim] Reid. So I was really hurt by Coach Reid not being there.
"He's a great man, and he's been recruiting me since my ninth-grade year. Anything I needed, I called him. Whenever I needed advice, he was there. He was just a helpful person."
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound prospect said he plans to schedule five official visits and hopefully make his decision around mid-January. He'll head home from the military academy on Dec. 19 and wants to talk those visits over with his mother before making anything final.
He insisted he holds no favorites, but he acknowledged interest in visiting Miami (Fla.), Ohio State, TCU, USC -- and possibly the Cavaliers. He already made an unofficial visit to Penn State, along with teammate and PSU commit Christian Hackenberg.
"Penn State's still in the mix," Cook added. "You know, with the sanctions with them and Miami that's going on, that's pulling me away from them, but I'm still keeping them on the board. ... I hear from Hack every day about it."
He's aiming to find a school with a similar feeling to Virginia -- good academics, a rural-type campus still near the city, a good social environment and teammates he feels comfortable with. Until he finds a school he likes more than Virginia, he said he'll remain committed to the Cavaliers.
His new offers came from Kentucky, Miami (Fla.), NC State, North Carolina, Old Dominion, Syracuse, TCU, Tennessee, Toledo, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
"All of them are really the same to me right now," Cook said. "But they all showed big interest, so I'm going to show interest in them. It's nice to know I got more options."

Q&A: After A Life-Size Food Statue, Subway Has A Marketing Feast Planned For RG3
By Barry Janoff
April 25, 2012: Robert Griffin III made a stop via Subway en route to the NFL, officially unveiling his alliance with the national chain at a Subway location in New York, where RG3 was preparing for the NFL draft on April 26.
Griffin said that he and his dad were loyal customers of Subway in Waco, Texas, during his days as Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback for Baylor. His favorite sandwich: "Definitely Meatball Marinara." Griffin, who is expected to be selected with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft by the Washington Redskins, now joins a list of "Famous Fans" that includes NFL stars Ndamukong Suh and Justin Tuck, Michael Phelps, Apolo Ohno, CC Sabathia, Ryan Howard, Nastia Liukin and Blake Griffin.
At the Subway event, the company unveiled a life-size food statue of RG 3 (created by food artist Jim Victor) made of smokehouse BBQ chicken, olives (for the eyes), garlic (teeth) and New Mexican hot chili (for his trademark hair). Victor said this was the fourth such food sculpture he has made for Subway (Suh, Mark Ingram and C.J. Spiller).
To honor the occasion, Griffin, known for wearing Superman socks, wore a special pair of Subway socks (in green and gold to match his adidas-Subway windbreaker). RG3 also has marketing deals with adidas, EA Sports and Castrol Oil.
NYSportsJournalism spoke with Paul Bamundo, director of sports marketing, PR and partnerships for Subway FAF (Franchise Advertising Fund) about the role RG3 will play with the company.
NYSportsJournalism.com: How did the alliance between RG3 and Subway begin?
Paul Bamundo: Tony Pace (svp/global CMO for Subway FAF) found out that he and his dad were fans and customers of Subway in Waco while he was at Baylor. He would eat a foot-long — or more than one — as part of his eating and training routine. He has a great metabolism. He can work it off. He's in great shape. So we got word to him that we wanted to speak with him about him becoming a 'Famous Fan' because we felt that this would be an interesting alliance.
NYSJ: How prominent will RG3 be in marketing?
PB: He's the story of the draft. He's on the cover of Sports Illustrated and ESPN the Magazine. We already have him featured in print ads and in online advertising. Once he gets out of the madness of the NFL draft, we'll start to create TV commercials, get that into development. He will be a strong presence for us as the NFL season starts and progresses.
NYSJ: Do you see putting Blake Griffin and Robert Griffin together in marketing, promotions, other activations?
PB: That would be a natural. We have talked [internally] about having the Griffin Boys together. We think that's something that would work very well for the 'Famous Fans' campaign.
NYSJ: Has RG3 been in touch with any other Subway 'Famous Fans'?
PB: He definitely knows who they are — Phelps, Suh, the others — but this relationship is too new. So we have not put him in touch with any others. But we do plan to do that. We will make that happen.
NYSJ: Has he had any contact yet with Jared Fogel {Subway company spokesman)?
PB: Not yet. Jared is on the road and couldn't be here. But he welcomes people into the family and indoctrinates them. So it will be Jared, Michael Phelps, Michael Strahan, Ryan Howard, Blake Griffin . . . Jared is a big Indianapolis Colts fan, so he would loved to have seen RG3 taken No. 1 overall [instead of Andrew Luck].
NYSJ: Beyond his being a customer, what made this alliance a reality?
PB: He's a wonderful young man. He comes from a military family — both of his parents were in the military. He has a solid family. And he also is a young man who is very athletic and pays attention to keeping in good shape. In addition to playing football, he also ran track, in which he holds NCAA records in the hurdles.
NYSJ: Subway has had an alliance with the NYC Marathon — Jared ran two years ago and Apolo Ohno ran in 2011. Does RG3 know that you might ask him to run in one someday?
PB: In fact, we've already talked about that. We talked about how [speed skater] Apolo had to go from being a short-distance athlete to running 26-plus miles. He seemed to be into it, not soon, but maybe somewhere down the road.
NYSJ: He has other endorsements, but appears to be selective at this point. What does that say about the fact that he has decided to align with Subway?
PB: We put a lot of work into the 'Famous Fans' campaign and we believe that Subway is where winners eat. When we spoke with Robert, we impressed upon him all of the athletes who have won championships while working with us: Ryan Howard, Tony Parker, Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, CC Sabathia . . . so we have a nice track record going.
NYSJ: You had him making and serving sandwiches today, and he seemed to be very comfortable with that.
PB: He told us that he was very familiar with Subway restaurants from his time in Waco. He genuinely had a great time [behind the counter], getting to meet customers and some of his fans in New York.
NYSJ: What did he think about the food statue made in his likeness? Did he try to eat it?
PB: He was surprised. [Laughs.] We didn't tell him about it before we showed it to him. We told him not to sample it, but he really didn't seem interested in doing that. He has been speaking with the artist so I know he was very interested in how it was made and what food was used. The statues don't last very long; they live on in photos. We expect that RG3 will be around a lot longer than his Subway statue.

Earlier this week, the Manufacturing Institute, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, University of Phoenix and Deloitte named GLOBALFOUNDRIES' Alexie Lee one of the first recipients of their Women in Manufacturing STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Awards. Honoring women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers, the announcement highlights Alexie's achievements in manufacturing through her positive impact on both GF and the industry as a whole.
In her role as General Counsel and Executive Vice President of Legal and Corporate Affairs, Alexie is responsible for litigation, intellectual property and corporate matters. Additionally, Alexie oversees worldwide corporate communications, government relations and corporate risk management and sustainability, while providing direction and counsel to the CEO, the Board of Directors and other top corporate leaders. GLOBALFOUDRIES' growth from a one-facility operation to a company with 7 production facilities worldwide can be attributed in part to her actions and strong understanding of the importance of manufacturing to the entire economy. She adds, "I am excited about being involved in the most advanced of advanced manufacturing. Not only is our industry vital to our nation's strength, our products drive improvements, at times dramatic, in all our lives."
GF CEO, Ajit Manocha said, "Since helping to launch GF in 2009, Alexie has exhibited a tremendous track record of execution and collaboration, helping to propel our company as one of the fastest-growing semiconductor companies in the world. Her leadership is helping GF create thousands of new advanced manufacturing jobs in the U.S., and expand the high-tech manufacturing capabilities that will continue to pave the way for long-term economic growth in the U.S. We thank Alexie for her hard work and dedication and we are so proud to see her recognized with this prestigious award."
The STEP Ahead initiative was launched to examine and promote the role of women in the manufacturing industry through recognition, research and best practices for attracting, advancing, and retaining strong female talent. A total of 122 women were honored this first year, representing a variety of companies at all levels of their manufacturing organization from the factory floor to the C-suite. Award organizers hope that by telling the stories of these women, they can help inspire the next-generation of talent to pursue careers in the industry. The STEP Awards are also meant to empower honorees to lead in their companies, communities and networks on the importance of manufacturing and issues related to attracting, advancing and retaining strong manufacturing talent.
"The STEP Ahead initiative was founded to change perceptions of the manufacturing industry and create new opportunities for women in the sector," said Latondra Newton, group vice president at Toyota Motor North America, Inc. and chairwoman of the STEP Ahead initiative. "This initiative is the call for action to transform the face of today's manufacturing talent and ensure that women can contribute to the future of this industry."
On February 5th, Alexie will join the other award recipients for a reception in Washington, D.C. where the STEP Awards program will highlight each honoree's story, including their leadership and accomplishments in manufacturing.

But it's unclear from this study whether the pelvic and sexual difficulties are a direct result of physical rape trauma or are a physical manifestation of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a severe anxiety disorder that up to half of rape victims will experience.
The "findings are consistent with a growing body of research," said Steven Bruce, director of the Center for Trauma Recovery at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, who was not involved in the study.
Researchers already knew that victims of chronic sexual abuse in childhood were at risk for sexual problems, according to coauthor Iva Biancic of the National Psychotrauma Center for Children and Youth at University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
"We found evidence that victims of single rape during adolescence have an equal risk to develop such problems," she told Reuters Health.
The researchers asked 18 women in their late teens and early twenties who had been raped during adolescence and treated for PTSD about their sexual functioning, and compared the answers to those of 114 college-aged women who had never been victimized.
About 30 percent of the rape victims had pelvic floor hypertonicity, or "too-tight vagina," compared to 12 percent of the nonvictimized group, according to results published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Both groups had the same level of sexual activity.
The study had a number of weaknesses, according to Mary Koss of the University of Arizona in Tucson, who has served on the National Academy of Sciences Panel on Violence Against Women.
The rape victims had a lower average education level than the comparison group, which indicates that the groups may not have been similar in many other ways, Koss said.
She also noted that "pelvic floor problems" could be a direct physical consequence of rape, especially since most of the women were underage and could have been as young as 12 or 13 when the rape happened, but those details aren't included in the results.
Many rape victims are asymptomatic and never seek psychotherapy, so she warns that women in that category may be disturbed by these results.
"The bad news is there are people out there who might not have thought of this and end up feeling dejected," Koss said.
"Clearly, all PTSD interventions are not alike and there is considerable variability in the amount of success following any intervention," said Tara Galovski, who studies PTSD for victims of assault at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Galovski agreed that the study would need to include more details about the state of each woman's mental health at the time of the study and the physical trauma suffered during the rape for the results to be useful for practitioners, she told Reuters Health.

It is week six of the Tomato Love Recipe Exchange, and I admit it was probably one of the topics I was most looking forward to — pizza pizza!
And our giveaway is out of this world for you pizza lovers — a 7-piece Pro Premium Pizza Making Kit from Pizza Home Chef! You must read below for more info about how to enter this one. This pizza kit is stunning!!!
For something new this weekend, I decided to translate one of my favorite pasta recipes into this Shrimp Fra Diavolo Pizza. This spicy, fresh and flavorful dish is one of my all-time favorites. And I love how the simple recipe feature the tomatoes just as much as the shrimp. So I picked up a batch of beautiful grape tomatoes and basil at the market, put the amazing pizza making kit to use (seriously, too fun), and soon this heavenly pizza was emerging off my baking stone with a flourish. So good!!! I seriously need to put shrimp on pizza more often. Loved using the sliced grape tomatoes too instead of crushing them into a sauce. And for any of you who worry at the "diavolo" reference, you can totally control the spicyness to taste. With the ingredients I included on the recipe, I thought the heat was pretty mild, but definitely gave it an extra delicious kick.
So read below for the recipe, check out the amazing pizza kit and pizza-making tips from Pizza Dan, and be sure to also take a minute to read up on the latest with Recipe for Change. So many great things are happening this summer to support our nation's tomato growers. Would love to have you get involved!
The famous "Shrimp Fra Diavolo" ingredients…in a pizza! Spicy, fresh, and full of flavor!
Preheat oven (and baking stone if using) to 425 degrees F.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet. Saute for one minute, then flip shrimp and saute until the shrimp is just seared on both sides. Remove and transfer shrimp to a separate plate.
Add an additional 2 Tbsp. oil to the skillet. Add onions and saute for another 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add garlic and saute for one minute. Add wine, and deglaze pan for one minute. Then add tomatoes, crushed red pepper, and oregano. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let simmer and reduce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, brush or mist the top of the pizza crust with the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Sprinkle about half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the pizza, leaving a 1-inch border. Then evenly spread the tomato mixture on top of the cheese. Add the shrimp in an even layer, and then cover with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until dough has risen and cheese is melted. Remove and garnish with chopped fresh basil and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #gimmesomeoven. I'd love to see what you cook!
How To Participate In The "Tomato Love Recipe Exchange" Pizzas Week:
For a chance to win a "Pro Premium Pizza Making Kit" from Pizza Home Chef:
Additional Entries For Everyone!
You can earn up to three additional entries by doing each of the following, but you must leave a comment below saying that you have done so.
This Week's Prize: "Pro Premium Pizza Making Kit" from Pizza Home Chef
This week's giveaway winner is going to hit the pizza making jackpot! Cassie and I are thrilled to be giving away this "Pro Premium Pizza Making Kit" from Pizza Home Chef. This 7-piece set includes:
Pizza Dan (such a kind man!) sent us a set to try out, and I'm pretty sure that Cassie's and my texts back and forth as we were cooking were overflowing with exclamation points. This set is amazing!!! It was like Christmas unwrapping each piece of the set, and even more fun getting to try them out. I had never used a dough docker before, but it was totally fun. Nor did I know the term "spoodle", but it definitely gave the sauce action (or in this pizza's case, the tomato action!) a bit more flair. But I definitely felt like I was in one of my favorite restaurant pizza kitchens when using the two peels, the beautiful and sturdy baking stone, and the dough docker! Ha – no more little pizza slicer for me. That docker is so fun, and does the job in a second! All finished, of course, with the beautiful serving tray. I'm already planning my first pizza-making party so that my friends can have their own pro pizza fun too! Definitely a fantastic set, made with high-quality ingredients, that you could enjoy for years and years. I highly recommend it!
Check out the set here on Pizza Home Chef's website, and would also encourage you to check out Pizza Home Chef's Facebook, and YouTube pages!

This is not edited. This is not parody or spoof. This is the Egyptian Prime minister speaking about Egypt and poverty!!
I do not know what to say except I feel sorry for him because he is appointed in the position that is bigger than his own political as well social capabilities. I do not know why he did not stop at saying 'I roamed Egypt especially Upper Egypt and saw extreme poverty and ignorance that do not
Now women in Bani Sawif are extremely angry and they have. He did not only describe them as dirty ignorant women but also he claimed that they are being raped in the fields. Another huge insult not to them but to their men , Upper Egyptian men.
It is worth to mention that for thousands of years Egyptian women used to work in fields and were not subjected to sexual harassment not to mention rapes !!
Hisham Qandil has not apologized for his statements.
By the way why on earth and heavens Hisham Qandil would watch the ladies breastfeeding in Bani Sawif and see whether they clean their breast or not !? It is not this rudeness considering the fact that he works in irrigation and is not a doctor or social researcher !?

Ford Racing Best Ford in Ford
Throughout the year Ford Racing Performance Parts and Street Rodder team up to award the Best Ford in a Ford award to a Ford car owner who has kept his marque "pure" with a Blue Oval powertrain. This year at the 62nd Annual Meguiar's Autorama would prove to be no different and a great way to kickoff the show season.
This year we begin 2014 with Rick Smith of Madison Heights, Michigan and his '57 Ford Fairlane 500. The Ford is sprayed over the stock sheetmetal in PPG Root Beer and cream paint by Reiter's Metal Craft. Back in the day this Ford would have had the venerable vintage 312 Y-block for power but today Smith has opted to drop in a Ford Racing Coyote 5.0L V-8 with a Tremec 5-speed and Centerforce clutch. Existing spent gases are 2-1/2-inch stainless steel exhaust that is run through Flowmaster mufflers. The Coyote engine cooling is handled by a Superior Radiator cooler combined with a 16-inch electric fan. The factory gas tank is retained but modified to accept a submersible 2014 Mustang electric fuel pump.
Other mods to the '50s era "muscle car" is a Fatman Fabrications frontend, a rebuilt stock Ford 9-inch rearend outfitted with 3.70 gears and completed with coilover shocks and a 4-bar suspension fabbed and positioned by Reiter's.
Portage Trim handled the custom leather interior over the stock seating while an ididit steering column, Painless Performance wiring kit, Vintage Air A/C unit, Classic Instruments gauges are fitted to the stock gauge cluster, and a 15-inch T-bird steering wheel are all in position. All of the inside and outside trim was refinished by B&L Plating.
There is our first Ford Racing and Street Rodder magazine Best Ford in a Ford for 2014 and congratulations to Smith for a job well done.

Canadian Association of Professional Speakers
CAPS is the professional association for experts who speak professionally - trainers, keynoters and facilitators. We provide professional devleopment and community for our members. CAPS is part of the Global Speakers' Federation (GSF), a global network that shares a unique culture. We are, essentially competitors, but we help each other get better by sharing what works for us. The vision is, rather than fighting over pieces of the pie, we help each other get better, raise the bar for the industry, grow the pie and create more for all of us. Whoever is good in marketing shares what they've learned to slash others' learning curves. Whoever's great on the platform helps others get better, and so on. This organization is really about giving so everyone can do better.
The target audience for this project is our members - approximately 550 trainers, keynoters and facilitators across Canada.
Right now, we are at a critical time on this planet. We're just pulling out of a massive recession that has rewritten the rules of business. Our government systems - healthcare, education, you name it - are broken and need to be reinvented from the ground up. We're probably a decade from making this planet inhospitable to human life if we don't get our act together.
I'm not being alarmist - I believe we can turn things around. I'm totally optimistic - its just time for us to step up. And the people the world will turn to to address all these issues are our members - trainers, keynoters and facilitators.

What i'm looking for is a graphic for my theme as president in 2011. It's got to convey the power and essence of a very important issue for our members clearly and with impact.
And that's why my theme is - To Boldly Go...
I don't want Star Trek-y stuff. I want something that captures the feel and the power of the theme and the message in a graphical form. It needs to be simple, crisp, clear and powerful, conveying the feeling of the theme. The graphic should include the words "To Boldly Go..." and the French equivalent, "Allons-y avec audace!".
The logo for the 2010 year (A Quantum Journey) can be found here: http://www.capsconvention.com/
Please note that our logo is changing - it's in a design here at 99 designs right now - so it doesn't have to be included. I'll post the winning one here if it's chosen in time, but I'm not bound to locking it in. Our colours are red and white for the logo, but please feel free to experiment with colors for this graphic.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
No cartoons, please. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the graphic.
