Student Activities Council
The Student Activities Council is the representative institution of the student body at Dalton State College. We are the voice of our student population by creating and maintaining policies that are beneficial to our students and our campus. Our job is to insure our college promotes an environment conducive to the pursuit of academic excellence and of ensuring a dialogue between faculty and students through democratic processes by representing the various student organizations on our campus.
Dalton State College, commonly referred to as Dalton State, is one of the thirty-five institutions in the University System of Georgia. The college is located in Dalton, Georgia. The college was founded as Dalton Junior College in 1963 and began offering classes in 1967. The main campus consists of 146 acres, that were donated by four local landowners as a gift to the college, nestled in the foothills of the north Georgia mountains adjacent to interstate I-75 in Whitfield County, Georgia. Our mascot is the Roadrunners.
The student body of a public 4-year college.
A seal that is symbolic of the different aspects of a student government (ex: law, governance, democracy, representation, ect.). Our school mascot is the Roadrunners and we do not want anything that looks remotely similar to the Warner Brother's roadrunner cartoon character. Our school colors are navy blue (PMS 539), silver/ gray (Cool Gray #10) and white. The seal should be contained in some kind of circle, chevron or ect., not just a free floating image.

I have a question about step 2 on the recipe "Faulknerian Family Spice Cake, with Caramel Icing" from ENunn. It says:
"Sift together dry ingredients, twice. Add dry mixture to creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Add vanilla. Bake in a greased floured tube pan at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until cake tests for doneness. Serve with caramel icing. "

Almost half a century ago, in an epiphanic moment of marketing genius, Kellogg's is credited with inventing the Pop-Tart. Your very own individually wrapped piece of pie. In a toaster. Sweet!
Since that happy occasion, the Pop-Tart has become a part, literally, of the pop culture landscape: Milton the talking toaster, if you watched commercials in the '70s, or more recently last year's Times Square Pop-Tart pop-up shop.
Devotees of the Pop-Tart may also remember an old Dave Barry story, in which the humorist set a strawberry Pop-Tart on fire in his toaster, just to prove he could.
But commercial Pop-Tarts have their limitations, bouts of nostalgia and flame-throwing toasters notwithstanding, and we're not just talking about the trademarked name and all those foil wrappers. A frosted strawberry Pop-Tart has 38 ingredients, not including parentheticals. If you want a real piece of pie in your own toaster and a moment of true pastry epiphany, try making your own launchable tarts. It is, and you should have expected this, as easy as pie.
If you've grown up eating the kind that pops out of a cardboard box, homemade tarts are revelatory, in the same way that a good pie is a revelation when it comes out of the oven. Flaky crust encasing a jammy center — you can fill them with almost anything — and popped in the toaster just long enough to warm the tart, give a sudden crisp to the edges and encourage a bit of steam when you break it open.
Such a homemade tart, palm-sized, the crust built with butter and a sifting of whole wheat, the filling a spoonful of fruit compote or chocolate or even almond paste, bears as much relation to junk food as does, well, your grandmother's pie.
Constructing a tiny pie for your toaster is hardly a new idea. In the decades since these little tarts have filled your kids' lunchboxes, pastry chefs have orchestrated their own versions. Fred Eric has made them at Fred 62, his Silver Lake retro eatery, for the last 12 years.
For both legal and personal reasons, he calls them Punk Tarts, and Eric has filled them with grape jam, with bananas and caramel and chocolate, with pumpkin for the holidays. "We had toasters on the tables," recalls Eric, "but the fire department took them away."
Longtime Spago pastry chef Sherry Yard first experimented with the tarts long before she arrived in Los Angeles, at San Francisco's Campton Place Hotel, where she made tarts with gingerbread dough. "We couldn't afford a plater, but we had a toaster," says Yard. As recently as this year, she gave serious thought to serving them at the Oscars, even contemplating how to wheel toasters in and pop them tableside, as one would flambé a dessert.
These days you can find the individual tarts on the roving pastry plate at downtown's Nickel Diner, frosted pink and dusted with sprinkles. Cake Monkey's "pop pies" are on the menu at Umami Burger and Gelato Bar and Jones Coffee Roaster. And amid the beautiful world of glass and patisserie at Joan's on Third, you will find perfectly crimped tarts, filled with Nutella or perhaps cinnamon-sugar, if you get to the shop before they sell out.
They're popping up in cookbooks and food blogs as well: A recent search found recipes for the homemade tarts amid the pages of Joanne Chang's newly published "Flour," on King Arthur Flour's baking blog and on the popular food blogs Chez Pim and Smitten Kitchen — a testament to the Proustian relevance of the commercial Pop-Tart. Or maybe to the fact that it's hard not to love a pie the size and shape of an iPhone.
Making your own tarts at home is a question of basic components. You need good pie dough and a filling of your choice. Beyond that, there are the bells and whistles — frosting, sugar sprinkles — but those are optional, and often superfluous. If you have high-quality ingredients and good pastry, loading your tarts can overload the flavors and textures. Not to mention the question of the frosting melting into your toaster.
Although both the original Kellogg's Pop-Tarts and some very good patisserie tarts use more of a shortbread dough than a traditional pâte brisée, there's a lot to be said for the incomparably lovely architecture of a good flaky pie crust. You can use any pie crust recipe: your own personal favorite, that of your preferred pastry chef or baking book author, or your grandmother's. You could even, in a pinch, use purchased dough.
Or you can use this one, which is a pretty basic pie dough, made with butter, rather than shortening or lard or a combination. And yes, if Grandma used Crisco or leaf lard, by all means use her recipe. This recipe adds an egg yolk to the mix to give the dough a bit more structure — it is going into the toaster, after all — and sifts in some whole wheat flour with the all-purpose for a bit more flavor.
Once you make the dough, simply roll it out, add spoonfuls of filling and top it with a second piece of dough. Use a ruler to straighten and true up the edges, to divide up the dough into corresponding rectangles and to brush the bottom layer of dough with an egg wash to help seal the pieces together.
Imagine that you're making ravioli: The trick is simply to make sure that the filling is properly encased. Then crimp the sides with the tines of a fork, prick the tops of the tarts so that steam can escape, freeze them briefly — this relaxes the gluten in the flour and keeps the butter intact — brush them with the rest of the egg wash and bake them.
As for the filling, you can re-create your childhood favorites with a spoonful of strawberry jam, a mixture of brown sugar and butter or sauteed apples (the original Kellogg's flavors). Or you can go a bit upscale, making a chocolate ganache or filling your tart with frangipane, a classic French almond paste mixture that will produce tarts that bear a happy resemblance to almond croissants.
Nutella, predictably, makes a glorious filling, as does any good-quality jam or compote. Or try mixing peanut butter and jelly, or using another nut butter for a morning tart that actually makes a good breakfast.
Whatever you fill your tart with, just be sure to seal it tightly. Press the pieces of dough firmly together and crimp the sides. The last thing you want is a free-form pastry spilling across your baking sheet. If you like, you can even make smaller tarts by dividing the rectangles in half again.
And then there are the rah-rahs, which, particularly if you are using a toaster oven instead of an old-fashioned vertical toaster, can be fun too. A drizzle of icing. A dusting of raw sugar. Your kid's birthday cake decorations.
Wrap your homemade tarts in foil and have them for lunch with a carton of milk, or serve them on china alongside a demitasse of espresso. Either way, they will bear enough resemblance to the ones that have popped out of the box for the last 46 years to give you a moment of déjà vu — yet one brought to you by a creditable pastry chef. Consider it your grandmother's pop culture moment.
Homemade pop tarts
Total time: 2 hours
Servings: 8 pop tarts
Note: The pie dough also makes enough dough for 1 double-crust or 2 single-crust pies.
Pie dough:
3/4 cup plus 2 tablepsoons (1¾ sticks) butter
1/2 cup cold water
13/4 cups (7.4 ounces) flour
1/2 cup (2.25 ounces) whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar
1. Cut the butter into medium-sized cubes and put it in the freezer. Put half a cup of cold water in the freezer too while you assemble the other ingredients for the recipe. Put two sheets of plastic wrap, about 24 inches long, on a work surface, overlapping them lengthwise by a few inches so that they form a big triangle.
2. Put the flours, sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor, then pulse it once or twice to make sure the ingredients are combined. In a small bowl, mix together the egg yolk and vinegar. When the butter is quite hard, after about one-half hour, add the pieces to the food processor. Pulse it a half dozen times, until the pieces of butter are about the size of jelly beans.
3. Take the ice water out of the freezer (it should be very cold but not frozen) and mix it into the egg and vinegar mixture. Immediately add this to the mixture in the food processor and pulse until the mixture begins to come together. The bits of butter will still be visible, about the size of peas.
4. Dump the mixture out into the middle of the plastic wrap. Pull the edges of the plastic up around the dough, squashing it together and blending in the streaks of butter, which you should still be able to see in the dough. Don't overwork the dough or blend in all the butter: it should be streaky and just come together.
5. Using the plastic to press the dough, form it into a rectangle, wrapping the plastic tightly around the dough in the process. Put the dough in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. (You can keep it in the refrigerator for a few days and up to a month in the freezer.)
Pop tart assembly:
1 recipe pie dough
About 1 cup filling (Nutella, strawberry or any fruit preserves, or filling of your choice)
1 egg, beaten
1. Take the chilled pie dough out of the refrigerator. Divide it in half, and put both portions on a floured work surface.
2. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin into a rectangle until it measures 9 by 12 inches. Use a ruler to measure the sides and to keep them straight. As you roll the dough out to the right shape, press the ruler up against the dough to keep the sides and the angles true.
3. Using the ruler, divide the rectangle in half lengthwise, pressing the ruler down slightly so that you can see the lines. Divide the rectangle in half, then in half again width-wise, so you have 8 rectangles of 3 inches by 4½ inches each. Do the same thing for the other piece of dough. Cut each piece of dough into rectangles, following the lines imprinted by the ruler.
4. Using a pastry brush or a new paintbrush, brush half of the squares with the beaten egg, making sure you get to the edges.
5. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of filling into the center of each brushed rectangle, spreading it out a little but making sure that there's at least one-half inch of dough around the edges that does not have filling on it. Gently lift a second rectangle of unbrushed pastry on top of the one with the filling on it, pressing down along the edges so that the two pieces of dough stick together.
5. Using a fork, press the tines around the edges of all the tarts (dip it into your jar of flour to keep it from sticking). Prick the tops of the tarts in neat rows, to let the steam escape during baking. Place the tarts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the tarts in the freezer for half an hour while you heat your oven to 375 degrees.
6. Just before putting the tarts in the oven, brush the tops with some of the remaining egg wash. Bake the tarts on a rack in the middle of the oven until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the tarts on a rack.

We all like to think that we're rational human beings. That our decisions are based on facts and logic. After all, that's what intelligent people do. At least that's what we think they do.
It turns out that there's a pretty healthy controversy about that. For years, economists at the Univ. of Chicago have promoted the view that people consider all the relevant facts and then make decisions based on what serves them best. They've even reduced many decisions to mathematical formulas.
Other economists say that humans can't possibly include all the relevant information in their decisions. There's just too much data for any person to rationally evaluate.
I think that both schools may be partially right. Let me relate a recent personal shopping experience to illustrate. I was in the market for a TV. Spent part of an afternoon researching the different models and pricing available. Used both newspaper ads and online tools. Then I headed out to two local retailers to see what I could find. With a little negotiation I got what I felt was a pretty good deal with the second local store.
Was it the absolute best (i.e. most rational) choice for me? Hard to say. It is possible that there was a cheaper price or more full featured model available somewhere. But spending more time and energy searching for it didn't seem worth the effort.
Rational? I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted and what I would have to pay to get it. I shopped and negotiated to get the best price possible. Seems rational.
Yet, there was an emotional element involved. I was anxious to replace the TV that had failed. It was one that I watched almost daily. Really didn't want to be without it for very long.
Again, was it a rational buying decision? Probably so. Emotion was part of the choice, but didn't dominate the decision. I might not have gotten the absolute best TV or lowest price, but was probably pretty close.
Let's ask a different question. Will everyone arrive at the same rational conclusion? Is it possible for something to seem rational to you while seeming irrational to me?
For instance, if you're struggling to pay the rent, does it make sense to have cable TV? Or why are most lottery tickets sold in low income neighborhoods? Cable TV might seem like a luxury (and compared to food it is), but if you're unemployed TV might be your only escape from troubling thoughts. Or that lottery ticket might be a way to keep hope alive for a family that's never had much money or hope.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating cable TV or lottery tickets. Nor am I condemning them. Just trying to make the point that we won't all define rationality the same way.
OK, so what does this mean to me? How does this affect my daily finances?
It's an opportunity to evaluate how you make purchases and other financial decisions. A chance to consciously choose what things to include in your decision making.
By doing so you might find that some of your choices have been overly emotional. You might identify some patterns or emotions that lead you to poor choices. It's even possible that you'll take a second look at what should go into a 'rational' financial decision.
You'll also want to consider the assumptions that you used to make a decision. For instance, as gas prices rise you might think that getting a newer, more fuel efficient car would make financial sense. But, a little math could show that it will take many years and thousands of gallons of saved gas to pay for the new ride. It might seem like a rational decision, but if you look at the underlying assumptions you find it's not rational at all.
We all like to think that we're making sound, rational decisions. But the truly rational thing to do is to periodically take a close look at how you make decisions. And, in so doing, make sure that your decisions truly do take your best interests into account.

Environmental Committee
Environmental Committee Mission
"The mission of the Environmental Committee of SFZC is to help establish consistent policy and guidelines that will promote and encourage environmentally friendly practices for all three centers; to share information, practices, resources, and concerns about environmental issues; and to facilitate Zen Center's role as a community model for sustainable living."
As our practice reveals the assumptions of being separate from the world around us, what steps can we take that challenge and counter that standpoint? As we open to being supported by all things, what actions spring forth to embrace and sustain that which gives us life?
Many people meet these questions in their lives and practice. As a forum for these issues and to help facilitate the creation and implementation of actions that express them, the San Francisco Zen Center has an Environmental Committee. It has representatives from each of the three practice centers and at least one member of the board of directors. We meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues of interest and formulate ways of engaging the communities to address them.
One of the roles of the Environmental Committee has been to initiate a series of guidelines that provide clarity, guidance and continuity with regard to our environmental intentions to people as they move through the various training positions in our Centers. The guidelines also provide inspiration for the wider community with practical steps focused on exploring and expressing the relationship with our environment.
Environmental Guidelines
Food purchasing guidelines
Flower purchasing guidelines
Building and maintenance guidelines (by local nonprofit Build It Green, adopted by SFZC)
For more information, please contact Hakusho Johan Ostlund, chair, at [email protected].

April 28, 2007-Haul Out in Singapore
Wings in the Boat Yard
There is another variety of sea-dog and that's "Yard Rat" and I have to admit I am one. There is something about the sound of air powered tools and the toxic smell of bottom paint that I can't resist. Even the thick sanding dust floating around the hauled out boats brings back memories for me. A boat yard anywhere smells and sounds the same as all the others and they all seem like a second home. I've been in a few boat yards over the years; usually coated with sweat and dark bottom paint dust so thick you could do finger painting on my forehead and I keep going back.
For the past month Wings has been in the yard at Raffles Marina. Usually we do our own work, but this year we hired the team at Marina Yacht Services. It's more than a weekend job: we've had some deck work done and had the deck repainted. We've had the engine out for some minor work that was easier done in the shop than in our living room. And then there was some new through hull fittings and sea cocks, and finally, new bottom paint. Its enough work to take a month.
My last two trips down from Bangkok have been visits to see how the work is progressing.
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
It's been going fine, and it is nice to work with a bunch of guys who want to do the job right. I suggested a couple of corners to be taken and Jeffrey, the yard manager demurred. He didn't say much, but he was clearly not happy to cut corners. OK, I went along, lets do it right.
It reminded me of Phil at Seaview East a number of years ago. Phil told me he wasn't sending out any boat with a half assed job. He has his reputation and pride of workmanship to consider.
Anyhow, I've been happy to see it here at Raffles too.
And these trips down to Singapore to hang around in the boat yard have been alright.
Amid all the sounds and smells of a boat yard that I love, I get to watch somebody else work.

They were granted no less than 118 Lordships after the Conquest. William's descendent Geoffrey de Mandeville (d. 1144,) was created the 1st Earl of Essex, a title which became extinct in the 12th century after the death of the 3rd Earl.
The chief seat of the Mandevilles was at Walden in Essex, but many junior lines abounded. "Jehan de Mandeville", translated as "Sir John Mandeville", was noted as the compiler of a singular book of supposed travels, written in Anglo-Norman French, published between 1357 and 1371. They were Lords of the Manor of Earl's Stoke, in Wiltshire and also were granted lands in Devon.

Yes, you read that right, we actually have PANTS.
More specifically, we have Manuel Bastioni Labs characters, with clothing proxies, which I finally managed to make deal with updates for multiple characters over multiple frames. (After much hacking and slicing and blind fumbling around in the Blender Python files.) It seems that the Bastioni Labs are currently geared heavily toward production of single images, unless I'm missing something.
But in any event, I n00b-hammered my way through, and the result is a system by which I can load a MegaMotion-exported BVH scene with an arbitrary number of actors into Blender by duplicating a single (or soon to be multiple) MBL figure, with an arbitrary number of proxy items. (Multiple proxies per actor still untested but should work.)
Every piece of clothing has to be updated in advance of every frame render, and only one figure at a time can be "the" MBL humanoid figure, so I had to write a frame handler function and loop through a pre-established list of figures and proxies. For every figure I have to call his "init" function, which is time consuming, before fitting this character's proxies.
It's not the most efficient system in the world, and I'm hoping that with more time I can optimize the system, but hey, it's not realtime - we're doing this on a render that takes a long time anyway - so who cares?
Anyway, exciting times over here! Next big step is making sure rigid body animations can be imported, so we can drop our helmet and our rifle when we get shot. After that... things are going to get interesting.

ALA President's Program
ALA President's Program featuring Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus
Sunday, January 25, 2009, 3:30- 5:30 p.m., Four Seasons Ballroom at the Colorado Convention Center
Dr. Yunus is the author of Banker To The Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty and Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism. Dr. Yunus received the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his groundbreaking work to help the poorest of the poor in Third World countries break the cycle of poverty. He founded the Grameen Bank to make microloans to entrepreneurial individuals. These loans help them transform their lives, improve their wellbeing, and literally develop their local economies. Similarly, libraries make microloans—gifts actually—of knowledge. These help people transform their lives, improve their wellbeing, and contribute to our knowledge-based economy. Institutions such as the Grameen Bank and libraries transform lives and build communities. They succeed because both address what Dr. Yunus calls "people-centered problems."
Tenth Annual Arthur Curley Memorial Lecture
Saturday, Jan. 24 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Colorado Convention Center in Four Seasons Ballroom 3-4
Since the start of the war in Iraq, Marines like Major Steve Beck have found themselves thrown into a mission they never trained for: casualty notification. Marines are trained to kill, to break down doors, but the mission of a casualty assistance calls officer is one without weapons. For Beck, the mission meant learning each dead Marine's name and nickname, touching the toys he grew up with and reading the letters he wrote home. Beck has held grieving mothers in long embraces, absorbing their muffled cries into the dark blue shoulder of his uniform. He stitched himself into the fabric of their lives, in the simple hope that his compassion might help alleviate at least the smallest piece of their pain.
In Final Salute: A Story of Unfinished Lives, Jim Sheeler weaves together the stories of the fallen and of the broken homes they have left behind. It is also the story of Major Steve Beck and his unflagging efforts to help heal the wounds of those left grieving. Above all, it is a moving tribute to our troops, putting faces to the mostly anonymous names of our courageous heroes, and to the brave families who have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country.
Jim Sheeler specialized in covering the impact of the war at home for the Rocky Mountain News since the first Colorado casualty of the war in Iraq. He won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for his story, Final Salute, and has won numerous other local and national writing awards. Born in Houston, Texas, he graduated with a degree in journalism from Colorado State University in 1990, and earned a Masters degree in journalism from the University of Colorado in 2007. He will begin teaching journalism full-time at the University of Colorado in the fall of 2008. His book of collected obituaries, "Obit: Inspirational Stories of Everyday People Who Led Extraordinary Lives," was published in May by Penguin Books. He lives near Boulder, Colorado with his wife and son.

Green Bay Packers
Human Resources
1265 Lombardi Ave
Green Bay, WI 54307
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to express my enthusiastic recommendation for Franklin Hillside to be the first-ever Packers Draft Room Hydration and Sustenance Specialist.
Outside of Leinenkugels, hyperbole and the classic movie Willow, I rarely make such passionate endorsements. But Franklin is the exception. He is knowledgeable, considerate and quick on his feet. So fleet are his feet in fact, that he could make a strong case for special teams. (With the sometimes noticeable absence of Tracy White, please keep that in mind.)
Equal parts Grill Master and Master Bartender, Franklin's expertise is only limited by the imagination. I once saw him roll a string of sausages using only his feet while mixing Mojitos in one hand and resuscitating an albino squirrel in the other. Keep in mind this is all while he was blackout drunk off Everclear and Mad Dog 20/20! Obviously, the man knows how to party, and just as importantly, be productive. Just imagine what he can accomplish sober!
I know what you're thinking – that there must be a catch. You're thinking this guy's either insanely expensive or just mentally unstable, likely to get caught selling Jolly's jock strap on ebay or start tickling Ted mid-pick or something. These are legitimate concerns and I will answer them in order. 1) Franklin will work for free or close to it and 2) he has not been committed yet to my knowledge (joking, but seriously). To sum it up, Franklin Hillside as your Draft Room Hydration and Sustenance Specialist is an idea so crazy it just might work.
Feel free to contact me for anything further. Just not Tuesdays. And never before 10 am. Weekends are 50/50. Any other time should work.

Following that glowing endorsement, I'm pretty sure I've got this one in the bag.ReplyDelete
"Just imagine what he can accomplish sober!"ReplyDelete
That's an all too common misconception. See Barry in the classic film "Beerfest". Some people NEED the sauce to reach their full potential. Sobriety is often quite overrated.
LOVE that movie!ReplyDelete

Season 1[edit]
Pilot [1.01][edit]
- Dr. Peters: Okay, why don't we begin with the custody arrangements?
- Cheyenne: Oh, I wanna live with Dad.
- Jake: I wanna stay with Mom.
- Kyra: Is boot camp an option?
- Kyra: Barbra Jean's pregnant?!
- Jake: I thought Cheyenne was pregnant!
- Cheyenne: Shut up, Jake!
- Kyra: Back off. He's just a stupid kid.
- Jake: I'm not stupid. She left the pregnancy test in the trash can.
- Reba: Why is it we're the only family in Texas without a gun?
- Kyra: So when Daddy marries Barbra Jean, what am I supposed to call her anyway?
- Reba: You're not supposed to call her anything, when you see her at the Wal-Mart, just point to her and say, "There she is. The woman who stole my daddy."
- Brock: Reba, I have to marry her!
- Reba: Have to? The only reason you'd have to marry her is-- Oh my God!
- Cheyenne: Dad! How could you!?
- Kyra: Don't worry, Mom, I know all about birth control.
- Reba: Oh, really? And what age is it appropriate for a young lady to become sexually active?
- Kyra: 40.
- Reba: Have I mentioned you're my favorite?
- Barbra Jean: There she is, the mother of the bride.
- Reba: (crying) You were only supposed to bring the ice.
- Reba: Momma's got a dark side
- Cheyenne: Getting married is so much fun! We should have done this in our junior year!
- Reba: No, honey you were smart to wait.
The Honeymoon's Over Or Now What [1.02][edit]
- Barbra Jean: God created women to carry babies and men to carry footballs.
- (Everyone turns and looks at Brock)
- Dr. Susan Peters: You are just precious.
- Reba: My parents gave this pillow to Brock and me for our third aniversary.
- Kyra: Well, we know it's not a magic pillow.
- Cheyenne: I need to wear something that says: "Mrs. Montgomery."
- Kyra: How about a t-shirt that says: "I'm with Stupid?"
- Reba: Nothing says eternal love like the pooka.
- Reba [to Cheyenne]: So how are you doing in here?
- Cheyenne: Good, Van fell between the beds, once when we weren't even doing anything!
- Reba: I really gotta stop asking questions...
- Van: It doesn't matter where we sleep just as long as I'm with my wife.
- Cheyenne: My husband.
- Kyra: My lunch.
- Reba [to Brock]: When you knocked up your hygienist, you lost the right to touch my muffins!
Someone's At the Gyno With Reba [1.03][edit]
- (Jake is playing with a uterus model at the gynecologist's office)
- Brock: Jake, put down the uterus, it's not a toy.
- (After Cheyenne didn't say anything about how Van decorated the room)
- Kyra: Well, that sucked!
- Reba: Tell me about it!
- Cheyenne: (as she opens the fridge, which is full of food) There is like nothing in here!
- Cheyenne: Do you think Dad would care about what kind of bedspread is on the bed?!
- Reba: It's obvious that your father doesn't care about what's on his bed!
You Make Me Sick [1.04][edit]
- Van [to Cheyenne]: I want you to stop vomiting.
- Cheyenne: If I could control it I'd do it on you right now.
- Van: Coach said B.J. was only sick for one day and do you know why that is?
- Cheyenne: I don't know, something to do with Jesus?
- Reba: There's no teenage orgy on our lawn. There's a couple frisky squirrels but I just tell Jake they're dancing.
- Jake: Mom, singing's lame.
The Steaks Are High [1.05][edit]
- Reba (looks at her watch): It's 5:00 AM, somebody better whack me with a mallet.
- Van: See...Mrs. H, I'm "Player of the Week."
- Reba: So I heard...Ungawa
- Reba (after agreeing to Van's plea that she host the team's steak dinner): Boy he sure makes it hard to say no.
- Cheyenne (smiling suggestively): Tell me about it.
- Kyra: Mom, you hold them down and I'll whack them with the mallet!
- Cheyenne: It's Marci & Luanne. They're on the drill team.
- Kyra: Mom, you hold them down and I'll whack them with the mallet!

- Reba: Did that seem weird to you?
- Barbra Jean: Yeah, why?
- Reba: Because Kyra faked being sick. She's never faked being sick before! She's faked being well just so she can go to school!
- Barbra Jean: Wow, I am so easily fooled. I wonder if those kids are really blind. You know, I think some of them are just lazy.
- Barbara Jean: It's always the bullies, or the jocks, or preps. The nerds aren't all that friendly, either!
- Reba (to Kyra, ignoring Barbra Jean): How long has this been going on?
- Barbra Jean: My whole life!
- Reba: Kyra, why would you hit someone?
- Cheyenne: It's how she shows affection!
- Kyra: Yeah, that's right. Why don't come over here for a hug?
- Brock: Kyra, when things get tough, you have to stick with them. (Reba gives him a look) WELL AT LEAST I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE!
- Reba: Kyra! What did this girl do to get you to snap?
- Kyra: SHE CALLED CHEYENNE A SLUT! She called Cheyenne a slut, so I punched her, ok?
- Cheyenne: Oh my gosh, my psycho sister loves me!
- Barbra Jean: Kyra, there are two ways you can deal with bullies: You can either hide in a bush till they forget about you, or you can buy them presents. Oh, that reminds me Reba, I picked you up something nice at the mall.
- Barbra Jean: No, you can't talk to her teacher! Otherwise, you'll be smashed into a locker with chalk up your nose and duct tape in your hair!
- Brock: Oh honey, I'm sorry. I wish I could've been there to protect you.
- Reba: Except you were 34.
- Cheyenne: So she didn't call me a slut?
- Kyra: No, she called you a slut, a loser, and a teenage baby-machine.
- Cheyenne: You could have just said yes!
- Cheyenne: It takes one to know one, except I'm not one, but if I was one, then she would have to be one too.
- Kyra: (about going shopping with Cheyenne) Mom, I have something to confess, and if you ever tell anyone, I'll deny it and I'll never tell you anything again.
- Reba: What?
- Kyra: I actually had a good time with her! (covers her mouth in surprise)
- Cheyenne: So what did you like most about talking to me?
- Kyra: All the words you mispronounced.
- Kyra (to Cheyenne): All the times you weren't hugging me. I actually like talking to you. (Cheyenne goes forward to hug Kyra) All the times you WEREN'T hugging me!

CINCINNATI — Instead of going up against ace in Game 4, the Giants will face the only Cincinnati Reds starter with a losing record.
Mike Leake (8-9) got the call for Wednesday's game at Great American Ball Park, officially replacing Johnny Cueto, whose injury is now being described as a strained right oblique.
The switch prompted some changes in the Giants lineup: Buster Posey, who was penciled in to catch, will instead play first base.
That allows left-hander Barry Zito to get Hector Sanchez, his personal catcher during the regular season. Brandon Belt, who is just 1 for 7 in his career against Leake, will open the game on the bench.
The Giants lineup for Game looks like this:
CF Angel Pagan
2B Marco Scutaro
3B Pablo Sandoval
1B Buster Posey
RF Hunter Pence
C Hector Sanchez
LF Gregor Blanco
SS Brandon Crawford
P Barry Zito
In the wake of the Cueto news, the Reds, who pride themselves on their resilience, pointed to how they handled the loss of Joey Votto during the regular season. Cincinnati went a major-league best 32-16 from July 16 to Sept 3 while their All-Star first baseman recovered from a knee injury.
"You can't sit there and cry over what could have happened," Reds manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday. "This is just something else we need to overcome."
Cueto's Game 1 injury was originally labeled as back spasms. The Reds reclassified it Wednesday as an oblique strain and removed the pitcher from their postseason roster. Cueto would not be eligible to return until Cincinnati advanced to the World Series.
"An oblique strain is a quandary," pitching coach Bryan Price said. "So as for a certainty on when he's going to be ready to go, we can't put a finger on that."
Leake has a history of success against the Giants. In three starts against them over the past two seasons, he is 3-0 with an 0.77 ERA. His biggest challenge is Sandoval, who is 7 for 10 against him with two home runs.
Leake did not pitch well at home this season. He was 4-5 with a 5.54 ERA at Great American Ballpark and surrendered more home runs (17) than walks (15).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--Bridget McGillivray, who scored her second goal of the weekend to lift the Harvard field hockey team to an overtime win against Lafayette Sunday, has been named the Harvard COOP Athlete of the Week for Sept. 6.
The sophomore helped lead the Crimson to a 2-0 weekend with five total points in the first two games of the season. McGillivray scored her first career goal on a reverse flick into the top of the cage in the second half of Friday's 4-0 win at Holy Cross.
In Sunday's home opener against Lafayette, McGillivray passed to Sydney Jenkins to give Harvard a 2-1 lead in the first half. The Leopards would tie the score by halftime, but the Victoria, B.C., native scored 10:20 into overtime to give the Crimson a sudden victory.

Despite being a country with a low population density, Canada is one of the most advanced territories in terms of technological developments and urbanization. In general, Canadian cities are example of order and cleanliness, services for the inhabitants and organization. For all this, and basically for how wonderful this country, would be an excellent idea get scholarships studies English at an English school in Canada and have to live a truly enjoyable experience in this urbanized territory. The largest city in Canada is Toronto, where more than 2 million and half people reside. It is located in the province of Ontario. The first thing that impresses the visitor is found with a truly multicultural city, and which will receive with open arms to all who come here, regardless of their country of origin.
Another notable city of this province is Ottawa, which owes its name to the River to la vera which has been lifted. Its population reached 890,000 people, although if considered to the suburbs, would be to totaling around 1 and a half million residents. One of the outstanding characteristics of Ottawa is the large number of speakers franco, amounting to almost a third of the population. In the province of Quebec, we also find important cities such as Montreal and Quebec City. For lovers of winter sports, Montreal will be the choice indicated, since this city is considered the world capital of snow sports. In the province of British Columbia stands the city of Vancouver, but it is also necessary to mention Victoria, city that is bordered by Washington or Prince George. Whatever the city chosen, the student will be able to discover an amazing country, with a fantastic culture.

During dinner Jefferson would open a panel in the side of the fireplace, insert an empty wine bottle and seconds later pull out a full bottle. We can imagine that he would delay explaining how this magic took place until an astonished guest put the question to him. The panel concealed a narrow dumbwaiter that descended to the basement. When Jefferson put an empty bottle in the compartment, a slave waiting in the basement pulled the dumbwaiter down, removed the empty, inserted a fresh bottle and sent it up to the master in a matter of seconds. Similarly, platters of hot food magically appeared on a revolving door fitted with shelves, and the used plates disappeared from sight on the same contrivance. Guests could not see or hear any of the activity, nor the links between the visible world and the invisible that magically produced Jefferson's abundance.
Jefferson appeared every day at first light on Monticello's long terrace, walking alone with his thoughts. From his terrace Jefferson looked out upon an industrious, well-organized enterprise of black coopers, smiths, nailmakers, a brewer, cooks professionally trained in French cuisine, a glazier, painters, millers and weavers. Black managers, slaves themselves, oversaw other slaves. A team of highly skilled artisans constructed Jefferson's coach. The household staff ran what was essentially a mid-sized hotel, where some 16 slaves waited upon the needs of a daily horde of guests.
The plantation was a small town in everything but name, not just because of its size, but in its complexity. Skilled artisans and house slaves occupied cabins on Mulberry Row alongside hired white workers; a few slaves lived in rooms in the mansion's south dependency wing; some slept where they worked. Most of Monticello's slaves lived in clusters of cabins scattered down the mountain and on outlying farms. In his lifetime Jefferson owned more than 600 slaves. At any one time about 100 slaves lived on the mountain; the highest slave population, in 1817, was 140.
Below the mansion there stood John Hemings' cabinetmaking shop, called the joinery, along with a dairy, a stable, a small textile factory and a vast garden carved from the mountainside—the cluster of industries Jefferson launched to supply Monticello's household and bring in cash. "To be independent for the comforts of life," Jefferson said, "we must fabricate them ourselves." He was speaking of America's need to develop manufacturing, but he had learned that truth on a microscale on his plantation.
Jefferson looked down from his terrace onto a community of slaves he knew very well—an extended family and network of related families that had been in his ownership for two, three or four generations. Though there were several surnames among the slaves on the "mountaintop"—Fossett, Hern, Colbert, Gillette, Brown, Hughes—they were all Hemingses by blood, descendants of the matriarch Elizabeth "Betty" Hemings, or Hemings relatives by marriage. "A peculiar fact about his house servants was that we were all related to one another," as a former slave recalled many years later. Jefferson's grandson Jeff Randolph observed, "Mr. Js Mechanics and his entire household of servants...consisted of one family connection and their wives."
For decades, archaeologists have been scouring Mulberry Row, finding mundane artifacts that testify to the way that life was lived in the workshops and cabins. They have found saw blades, a large drill bit, an ax head, blacksmith's pincers, a wall bracket made in the joinery for a clock in the mansion, scissors, thimbles, locks and a key, and finished nails forged, cut and hammered by nail boys.
The archaeologists also found a bundle of raw nail rod—a lost measure of iron handed out to a nail boy one dawn. Why was this bundle found in the dirt, unworked, instead of forged, cut and hammered the way the boss had told them? Once, a missing bundle of rod had started a fight in the nailery that got one boy's skull bashed in and another sold south to terrify the rest of the children—"in terrorem" were Jefferson's words—"as if he were put out of the way by death." Perhaps this very bundle was the cause of the fight.
Weaving slavery into a narrative about Thomas Jefferson usually presents a challenge to authors, but one writer managed to spin this vicious attack and terrible punishment of a nailery boy into a charming plantation tale. In a 1941 biography of Jefferson for "young adults" (ages 12 to 16) the author wrote: "In this beehive of industry no discord or revilings found entrance: there were no signs of discontent on the black shining faces as they worked under the direction of their master....The women sang at their tasks and the children old enough to work made nails leisurely, not too overworked for a prank now and then."
It might seem unfair to mock the misconceptions and sappy prose of "a simpler era," except that this book, The Way of an Eagle, and hundreds like it, shaped the attitudes of generations of readers about slavery and African-Americans. Time magazine chose it as one of the "important books" of 1941 in the children's literature category, and it gained a second life in America's libraries when it was reprinted in 1961 as Thomas Jefferson: Fighter for Freedom and Human Rights.
In describing what Mulberry Row looked like, William Kelso, the archaeologist who excavated it in the 1980s, writes, "There can be little doubt that a relatively shabby Main Street stood there." Kelso notes that "throughout Jefferson's tenure, it seems safe to conclude that the spartan Mulberry Row buildings...made a jarring impact on the Monticello landscape."

MISRATA, Libya (Reuters) - When Muammar Gaddafi's government shut off the cellphone network in Misrata in the early days of Libya's uprising, it wanted to stop rebel forces communicating with each other. But the power of a modern phone goes beyond its network.
Both rebels and government soldiers have used their phones to take pictures and videos of the conflict, a digital record of fighting from both sides. With the rebels now in Tripoli, the capital, and Gaddafi's whereabouts unknown, those gigabytes of potential evidence may play a role in any war crimes cases.
The International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo made an appeal in February for "footage and images to confirm the alleged crimes", after the United Nations Security Council referred the Libyan uprising to the court. A court filing applying for arrest warrants listed video evidence, mainly from media, but also from unspecified sources, in support of its claim.
In the Mediterranean city of Misrata, in particular, a group of rebel-allied lawyers has worked to gather evidence of what it calls war crimes committed by Gaddafi forces.
"In the beginning when there were snipers we had to move around carefully," said Omar Abulifa, a former prosecutor and head of the Misrata-based Human Rights Activists Association. "It was hard to get the evidence, but we did what we could."
As the rebels gained control of more of the city in April and May, the association set up a system to gather evidence after every incident, especially the continued bombardment of the city with Grad rockets by Gaddafi loyalists, which killed and injured many civilians. The footage they gathered includes videos taken from the cellphones of rebel fighters and from those of government troops captured or killed during the fighting. Other video and photographs came from citizens of the town.
Some of that film can be used as evidence, Abulifa says. "But not all of it because to be used as evidence it has to be from a trusted source and it has to be clear what is happening."
Around 150 gigabytes of video gathered by the city's media committee, which was set up after the uprising, has been provided to the association. A member of the committee gave a Reuters reporter who was in Misrata in July a large volume of that material.
"Everyone has stuff like this," said Ali, 21, an off-duty rebel fighter, as he showed a Reuters reporter videos on his touch-screen phone, including one of government tanks entering Misrata and one showing a man he says was an unarmed doctor who had been shot by Gaddafi troops and bled to death in the street.
Hair slicked back, and impeccably turned out in western jeans, shirt and shoes, Ali speaks in the weary tone of a young man explaining modern technology to someone older.
"Just ask anyone and they'll show you," he said.
Technology has been vital to Misrata's uprising since the beginning.
When his closest childhood friend invited him to a dinner in a fisherman's hut on the beach last December, Ayman Al Sahli was puzzled. As the 31-year-old lawyer and six other men tucked into grilled fish, their friend, Mohammed Al Madani, explained why he had called the group together.
The accountant brought out a photograph of the old Libyan flag, which predates Muammar Gaddafi's seizure of power in a 1969 coup. The red-black-and-green flag with its white crescent moon and star is now ubiquitous in the rebel-held city and other parts of Libya. But in December it was forbidden so a small, easily hidden photograph had to do.
Al Madani then used his mobile phone to play Libya's old national anthem. The song dates back to the country's independence in 1951 and was banned after Gaddafi seized power. None of the men present had ever heard it before.
"We spent the rest of the evening talking about the unrest in Tunisia," al Sahli says, "and about what Libya would be like without Gaddafi."
In the six months since they rose against Gaddafi, the 500,000 or so residents of Libya's third largest city have remained close to one of the fiercest frontlines of the Arab Spring. The rebels seized Misrata in May after a bloody, three-month long battle against well-armed government militia and in the past few weeks forced the government troops west toward Tripoli.
With the rebels on the verge of victory, much is likely to be made of the NATO bombing raids, which have hammered Gaddafi's forces since March, and the role of Qatar, which has financed the rebels. But just as important have been two things on show that night in the Misrata beach hut: a low-tech, make-do resourcefulness and mobile phones.
A few days before Misrata's first street protest on February 17, Mohammed Agila, 32, a bespectacled bank employee, took his heavily pregnant wife and two children to her parents' house. He withdrew all the money from his bank account and gave it to his father-in-law.
"I did not know exactly what would happen when we went out in the street," said Agila, one of 70 or so participants in that initial demonstration. "But I knew I could be arrested."
In the preceding months, Agila and Jamal Sibai, who also took part in the first protest, joined small group meetings like the one at the fisherman's hut.
"People met in groups of 10, 11, 12 and talked about going into the streets to demonstrate," said Sibai, 25, a slender, bearded art student and now a writer for a new newspaper called Free Libya. "We talked about freedom and the need for a constitution. We talked about how we wanted a president who could only serve for four or eight years and then, 'Thank you, goodbye.'
"We didn't talk about fighting," he added. "We just wanted the things a normal country should have."
In January, two Facebook pages — "Amal Libya" or Hope Libya, and another calling for a "day of anger" on February 17 — helped protesters like Sibai and Agila realize they were not alone.
"Before the Facebook pages, we did not know exactly when or where we should go out into the streets," Agila said. "But they told us when and where to do it. We didn't create the revolution in Misrata," added Agila, now a radio announcer as well as working at a bank. "Everyone here wanted to do what we did. We just happened to do it first."
By this time Tunisia's Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali and Egypt's Hosni Mubarak had already been toppled and protests were underway in Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and other countries. Protests began in Benghazi on February 15, because of fears Gaddafi was preparing to send in his militia.
When protesters, most of them strangers to each other, showed up in the parking lot of Misrata's technological college on February 17, they noticed cars carrying Gaddafi's secret police and militia waiting for them. All the protesters were arrested.
"I was afraid," Sibai said. "But I knew I had to do this anyway."
The first protests sparked off a series of increasingly large demonstrations in the city, Libya's commercial and industrial heart some 200 km (124 miles) east of Tripoli. Government forces opened fire on protesters on February 19. Rebels armed with Molotov cocktails, hunting rifles and crude, home-made blades, took control of the city within a few days, but barely.
On March 17, the same day a United Nations resolution ushered in a NATO bombing campaign, Gaddafi forces began an artillery bombardment. Within a few days government tanks backed by snipers firing from tall buildings on Tripoli Street, the city's main thoroughfare, had forced the rebels to hole up in the city's seaport.
"We had no weapons, so we fought with what we could find," says Abu Youssef, 55, a former caterer who recalls his amazement when he saw a teenager take out a tank in the early days of the uprising with just a Molotov cocktail.
On the ground, men like Youssef, 37, a former truck driver on the city's southern front, joined small groups of men. The group Youssef joined had just one gun between them, a common situation in the opening days of the war before the city's entrepreneurs, and mass fundraising efforts, brought weapons and ammunition.
Some weapons came from the temporary rebel capital of Benghazi in the east, but the fact that most were bought by locals is both a source of pride and a bone of contention with Benghazi.
"We would take it in turns to fire the gun," Youssef says while taking shade from the fierce late July sun with his comrades. "The rest of us would help the man with the gun."
Another fighter called Alim, 21, said rocket-propelled grenade launchers, a much-needed weapon against Gaddafi's more heavily armed forces, were in particularly short supply. When a group without a launcher needed one for an attack they would ask other groups in the neighborhood to borrow theirs.
"Once we fired it, we returned it as promised," Alim said as he sped toward the front line last month in a Chinese-made pickup, one of several thousand commandeered from the city's port during the uprising.
Imported by the government a few years ago to sell to Libyans, the Toyota-lookalikes were rejected by consumers as too shoddy and sat idle at the port. Now they are a hot commodity. The trucks have to be hotwired to start, because no one knows where the keys are, and have a notoriously loose tailgate that pops open at inopportune moments.
"I'd rather have a Toyota," Alim says, as he hotwires the truck. "Or any other half-decent truck. But I'll make do with this."
The citizens of Misrata made do with whatever came to hand in a battle where, perhaps surprisingly, tanks were not the biggest threat the rebel fighters faced. "In the city, we could use the houses and buildings to get close to tanks," says Ali, 29, a dentist on the western front line. "We found out that we could take out a tank at 80 meters."
Far worse were the snipers.
On a tour around the damaged University of Misrata's Faculty of Medical Technology, medical management lecturer Mahmoud Attaweil pointed to the holes knocked by government snipers in the roof of a five-storey building. Holes along the side of the building were caused by rebels trying to dislodge the snipers, said Attaweil.
"You can't get a sniper out of a building with small arms," he said. "The only way to persuade him to leave is to make him believe you will bring the whole building down if you have to."
One group of rebel fighters attached flashlights to the heads of dogs at night then released them near buildings where they suspected a sniper was hiding. The sniper would open fire, almost invariably missing the fast-moving target presented by the running dog. Once the sniper had given away his position, the rebels would open fire with rocket-propelled grenades.
Mobile phones also became a weapon.
Much of the footage of fighting and its aftermath held by the rebels is too graphic for Reuters to show.
In one sequence, people run toward a car and open the door. The vehicle's driver slumps out of the door, shot through the head by a sniper, his brains spilling out of a hole in his forehead. Many others, from the city's hospitals and clinics — a trusted source of information — show injured children. One clip shows a bombed incubator room for infants where nurses pull glass out of the bloodied bodies of crying babies.
Another video, purportedly taken from the phone of a captured government soldier, shows what appear to be uniformed Gaddafi loyalists in the back of a truck trying to force a group of men mainly in civilian clothes to "Say Muammar!" and "Say something!". Two of the civilians are assaulted — the first, a bearded man, is repeatedly slapped in the face, and pushed against the side of the truck by a man in a black coat. The second is slapped in the face. The men then all begin to chant "Long Live Muammar's lions!"
The Misrata group says it has already started work on 150 war crimes cases against the Gaddafi regime, and Abulifa says it will add many more.
Gaddafi's government has denied anything beyond firing at the "armed gangs" and mercenaries, and in June angrily rejected charges of crimes against humanity filed by the International Criminal Court against the Libyan leader, his son Saif al-Islam and intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi.
While Abulifa says he welcomes the ICC's war crimes charges, if the country's longtime ruler is captured he says he wants him to stand trial in Libya. When asked why, he pauses, then leans forward in his chair and speaks slowly.
"The ICC does not have the death penalty," he says. "Libya does. We want Gaddafi brought to trial. We want the world to see what he has done. And then we want him brought to justice."
The ICC said the possible admissibility of mobile phone footage as evidence would be decided on a case-by-case basis. "If there is a conversation from the defense about certain evidence it is up to the judges to decide the admissibility of that evidence," ICC official Fadi el-Abdallah said.
The rebel flag flies everywhere in Misrata now. It is painted on lamp posts, empty oil drums and even the old cargo containers that serve at increasingly irrelevant checkpoints in the city. The people of Misrata boast of how quickly law and order has been restored to the streets — a feat more elusive for Benghazi, Libya's second city and home to the National Transitional Council, the ruling body for the parts of the country under rebel control.
Today, too, everyone knows Libya's old national anthem.
But while Ayman Al Sahli, who first heard that anthem on the mobile phone of his friend Mohammed Al Madani last December, says he still backs the revolution, he mourns the loss of his friend, who was killed near the frontline on April 27.
When the fighting began, the accountant who had arranged the beach hut dinner began working for the rebel-run radio station in Misrata, making frequent trips to the station to report on the latest events at the frontline. Al Sahli was sitting with him and other friends when a mortar fired by Gaddafi loyalists struck, killing Al Madani instantly.
"The revolution did not kill Al Madani, Gaddafi did," Al Sahli said. "More than anything, I want Libya to be free. But I lost my joy the day my friend died."

Booker's unexpected Senate sprint
This was not the summer Cory Booker was expecting.
As the fundraising and polling favorite, the Newark mayor was not expected to face much of a challenge for Sen. Frank Lautenberg's seat heading into 2014. Democrats far outnumber Republicans in the state, and in terms of a primary challenge, the conventional wisdom was that Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), who had long hoped to succeed Lautenberg, wouldn't give up a safe House seat to make it happen.
Story Continued Below
That has changed now. Gov. Chris Christie's decision Tuesday to hasten the process for replacing Lautenberg, who died Monday at 89, means Booker will now have to ramp up quickly for a Democratic primary against a well-financed longtime congressman.

Booker remains the clear favorite to become New Jersey's next elected senator: He has a sprawling fundraising base, and enormous name recognition. None of the likely Republican candidates are seen as a major threat to him in a statewide race in New Jersey, an expensive place to run for office.
But Booker will now have to break his December promise to serve out his full remaining term as Newark's mayor. He made clear at the time that he planned to pursue a Senate run instead of challenging Christie.
And his operation, which is still in the start-up stage and has not been battle-tested, is going to be heading into a turbo-charged primary fight. Pallone is planning to run, sources familiar with his thinking say, given that he doesn't have to give up his House seat.

Democratic Rep. Rush Holt also intends to run, sources familiar with his decision said. He began making phone calls Tuesday evening informing Democrats of his plans.
Holt and Pallone made their decisions known ahead of Lautenberg's funeral, which some Democrats frowned on. But the rush to join the primary made clear there will be a multi-candidate field — one that so far features two white congressmen against a black candidate.

Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) had been said to be considering a run, but has made clear he will take a pass.
A multi-candidate primary is better for Booker than a head-to-head against Pallone, who would be the underdog but has a $3.5 million war chest and could inflict some damage. (Booker has raised just under $2 million, as of the latest filings).
