Towns have until Oct. 19 to appoint members to the new board, but the consensus is that sooner is better.
WEYMOUTH – The South Shore Tri-Town Development Corp. is out, and now it's up to appointing authorities to create the new board of directors that will oversee the SouthField project – redevelopment of the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station.
Legislation renames the board of directors the Southfield Redevelopment Authority, which will have nine members instead of the former five.
The South Shore Chamber of Commerce has one appointment to the board. The chamber acted recently, suggesting that Ralph Rivkind, a 37-year resident of Norwell, be appointed at the Sept. 4 meeting of the chamber's board of directors.
Abington selectmen acted Monday night, appointing Christopher Aiello, who was the town's appointee to Tri-Town.
"In the interest of time and knowing the sensitivity of some of the deadlines, the selectmen appointed him to the new redevelopment authority," Town Manager Rick LaFond said. "He's probably going to have as much institutional history as anyone else on the new authority."
Weymouth Mayor Susan Kay, who will appoint two members, said she is interviewing candidates and has made no decisions.
"We've got to get this board up and running," she said.
Kay hopes to decide on her appointees this week. She said she might do it by the end of the day today.
She and the Rockland selectmen will jointly choose a SouthField resident to serve on the board.
Rockland Town Administrator Allan Chiocca said selectmen in that town hope to make their two appointments at their meeting Tuesday night.
"Time is of the essence," he said. "The timeline of the legislation is forcing towns to act quickly. There are a number of deadlines, including the fact that they're operating with a temporary budget through Sept. 30. We've been trying to solicit qualified individuals."
The Norfolk County Labor Council and the SouthField Neighborhood Association will each appoint one member.
A provision in the legislation states that unless Weymouth's mayor and the Rockland selectmen appoint a SouthField resident to the board by next Wednesday, the selection will be made by the board of directors.
The rest of the appointing authorities have until Oct. 19 to act.
The new board's first action will be preparing a budget to submit to the three towns in which the former air base is situated.
Tri-Town CEO Kevin Donovan's duties will end Friday. He said the new board needs to be operating as soon as possible.
"I couldn't stress enough the importance of quickly appointing members to the new board," Donovan said.
"Once you see the immense amount of work that will be required, they need to get up and running immediately. If you don't, you'll be putting them at a disadvantage right away."

Walking to school, sports tied to teen weight
Teens who play a couple of team sports and walk or bike to school are less likely to be overweight or obese, says a new study.
Researchers found that of more than 1,700 teens, those who played on at least two sports teams per year were 22 percent less likely to be overweight or obese than those who did not. Those who walked or biked to school four to five times per week were 33 percent less likely to have weight problems.
The findings, however, can't prove those activities prevented the weight problems, or whether something else could explain the link.
Overall, the connection shouldn't come as a surprise to most people, said Dr. William Stratbucker, a pediatrician at the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital Healthy Weight Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"I think this is info that a lot of consumers will see as common sense. If your child is on sports teams, they're less likely to be obese," said Stratbucker, who was not involved with the new study.
The researchers say, however, past research on different activities, including walking to school, recreational activities and playing sports, have reported conflicting results on whether they actually cut down on obesity.
Almost a third obese
The researchers surveyed students and parents from New Hampshire and Vermont public schools over seven years - starting about 2002. The surveys were conducted over the telephone and recorded several pieces of information, including what activities the students participated in and the students' height and weight.
The researchers used the information that was recorded once the students entered high school, which gave them information on 1,718 teens.
Overall, 29 percent of the teens were overweight or obese.
The researchers, who published their study in the journal Pediatrics on Monday, then looked at which activities seemed to be linked to the least risk of weight problems.
About three out of four teens played on a sports team, and the researchers found that those who played at least two sports per year were least likely to be obese.
Of the 492 teens that didn't play on a team, about 40 percent were overweight or obese. That's compared to about 22 percent of the 927 that played at least two sports.
Keith Drake, the study's lead author from Dartmouth Medical School's Hood Center for Children and Families in Lebanon, New Hampshire, said that playing multiple team sports may help more than just playing one because those teens probably stay more active throughout the entire year.
"It does give kids a consistent way to participate in moderate to vigorous activity," Drake told Reuters Health.
He added, however, that simply playing one sport is probably good for kids, too.
As for walking or biking to school, Drake and his colleagues found those who commuted more than three days per week were least likely to be obese.
Meanwhile, extracurricular and recreational physical activities didn't seem linked to weight.
Not all sports created equal
The study did have some limitations, including that the information was reported by the students and parents, which could introduce errors.
But overall, Stratbucker told Reuters Health that the study shows that it's important for parents to encourage their kids to remain moderately to vigorously active all year long.
He cautioned, however, that just being in a sport does not mean teens are active.
"If a sport is what they want to do and it's limited in moderate to vigorous activity, they're going to have to find that moderate to vigorous activity somewhere else," he said.
Drake added that it's also important to make those opportunities available to teens.
"I think finding efforts to promote sports participation helps in our obesity prevention efforts. And this study - I think - speaks to paying more attention to that," he said.

Something new is in the stars for the Michelin Guide � the French restaurant reviewing institution is getting an American accent.
Colorado-born Michael Ellis, who took over the job early this year but made his debut U.S. tour as ambassador of the guides this fall, is the first American to head the Michelin Guide.
The idea that an American would be put in charge of �this bible of French gastronomy is kind of a big deal,� says Colman Andrews, editorial director of TheDailyMeal.com. �The Guide Michelin is such a French institution, it would have been unthinkable even probably 10 years ago to think that an American would ever run it.�
Another big deal: Ellis� challenge of finding a way to keep the guides relevant, and solvent, in an eat-and-tweet world.
As Ellis pointed out during a recent interview on a foggy morning along the San Francisco waterfront, �There�s a lot of noise out there.�
Founded in 1900 by brothers and tire makers Edouard and Andre Michelin, the Michelin Red Guide listed places to get gas, food and other necessities to encourage motorists to get on the road, a good thing for the tire business. In 1926 the company introduced its star-rating system for restaurants, and, in time, being a one-, two- or three-star Michelin chef became a byword for quality.
Though having a high Michelin ranking can be a significant boost to a restaurant�s takings, none of that revenue has been going to the guides, whose main source of revenue has been the sale of printed books. �Paper products are not a growth industry, I�ll put it that way,� said Ellis.
Last year, the Financial Times reported the guides were losing millions of dollars annually. Company officials don�t divulge internal figures, but say they�ve made significant financial changes since then.
Ellis has a number of other changes under consideration:
�Expand the listings, including more cities in Asia, and add more U.S. cities. (Currently, only New York, Chicago and San Francisco are reviewed.)
�Widen the scope of the restaurants reviewed. It�s a misconception that Michelin is strictly high-end, said Ellis. Only about 10 percent of reviews are starred restaurants. There also are a number of restaurants included that don�t have stars but are judged worthy of a visit, as well as the �Bib Gourmande� rankings of more casual places. Still, Ellis would like to see the guides get more comprehensive with coverage of such things as the best places to go for family pizza night.
�Increase the guide�s online presence and identify new sources of income. Michelin has e-books and mobile apps and in France has launched a restaurant search engine with a promotional component. Only places that have been endorsed by Michelin inspectors are listed, but those that have made the cut can pay about $90 a month for a �visibility pack� that makes their listing more prominent. The French website also has a comment section. �People look for opinions now,� Ellis said.
In a way, Michelin Guide faces the same problem as hallowed restaurants such as Maxim�s in Paris or the 21 Club in New York, said Andrews. �How do they modernize without losing their core identity? It�s hard for restaurants to do it; I think it�s hard for Michelin to do it.�
Ellis thinks the Michelin legacy makes it uniquely fitted to take on the challenges of the Internet age.
�We have our respected core � our professionals, they�re food professionals,� he said. �They�re salaried Michelin employees; they�re anonymous so no one knows who they are and they always pay their check. So they really have experiences that the ordinary customer would have, unlike, say, food writers or journalists that can be recognized or don�t pay their bills sometimes. That really gives us the independence that I think no one else has.�
Leading Michelin Guide is �a dream come true,� said Ellis, who was smitten with all things French on his first trip to France as a 16-year-old on a high school trip. He resolved to train as a chef and got so far as working as an apprentice at a Michelin one-star restaurant before realizing �that I was probably more cut out to be a client of a restaurant.�
But he remained keenly interested in food, regularly mining the Michelin guides for places to take business clients to lunch and dinner in his subsequent career working in hospitality-related jobs in Europe. He joined Michelin in 2007, heading the motorcycle tire division, and got the call for his current job after mentioning in a regular career counseling session that he�d be interested in working with the guides.
�I literally fell out of my seat and said, �Ok, I�ll think about it � Yes!� � Ellis said with a laugh.
Married to a Frenchwoman and fluent in French, not to mention Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, Ellis has �a great love and respect for France and most, I won�t say all things French, but most things French and I think the French appreciate that in me, certainly.�
But despite all those years abroad, Ellis hasn�t gone the way of Madonna. His words are still delivered in a Standard American English accent.
�That I�ll never give up,� he said with a smile.

Key Specifications
- Review Price: £299.00
- Shock, dust and waterproof
- GPS, compass and 3D shooting mode
- 12.1 megapixel sensor
- 4.6x zoom lens, 28-128mm equivalent
Generally speaking, electronic gadgets and systematic abuse don't mix all that well. Looking to change all that and keep on taking pictures even after it's been dropped, dunked or frozen is the 12.1 megapixel Lumix DMC-FT3 from Panasonic, new for 2011 and successor to the FT2. This ruggedised camera recalls the old Konica Minolta Dimage range from 2004 in terms of boxy design, internally folded zoom lens (here comprising 10 elements) and the fact that it's available in red or blue. It also mirrors its closest current rival in the Olympus Tough compacts via its 'armour-plated' outer surfaces and chunky catches to avoid unwanted ingress from the elements. There's even on-screen warnings and prompts each time you switch it on to make sure you've done the equivalent of battening down the hatches properly, thus preventing the camera coming a-cropper through carelessness if you take it for a swim.
While it looks outwardly tough the FT3 fortunately also has the under-the-bonnet credentials to match. Its airtight body is waterproofed to a depth of 12 metres though we didn't have the opportunity to test that out, is shock proofed against a drop from two metres in height (more on which later), freezeproof to -10°C and is furthermore dust proof. And, like the most recent Olympus model, the TG-810, this time round Panasonic has also shoehorned in a GPS antenna, as already found in its TZ high zoom series. This gives real-time information on the location at which the shot is being taken; the place name displayed ticker-tape fashion along the bottom of the backplate LCD screen should you forget where you are. Panasonic claims said info covers 203 countries for worldwide use, and more than a million landmarks. What's more it appears to work, and managed to pick out our local National Trust property at least. Useful perhaps if you're abroad and haven't bothered to buy a guidebook to otherwise discover what's what, or of course want to plot the route of your travels via Google maps or the social media of your choice later.
Like its Olympus competitor, the FT3 features a built-in compass, and adds an altimeter and barometer to respectively display and record orientation, altitude, and pressure, on land as well as underwater. The FT3's other headline features include Full HD video recording in AVCHD compression format with useful wind cancelation feature. Like most if not all of the Lumix range now, the capture of video clips is a one-touch process via a dedicated button. It also has an optically stabilised 4.6x zoom, Leica-branded lens with a focal range equivalent to 28-128mm. This makes it both plenty wide enough for landscape and group photos as well as suiting portrait snapshots and being suitable for picking out middle distance objects (truly far away subjects will still require a much longer zoom, which is generally available in a rugged form).
Light sensitivity can be manually adjusted from ISO100 to ISO1600, with up to ISO6400 achievable if selecting High Sensitivity scene mode, albeit with a corresponding resolution drop. So it's a case of weighing up whether the shot is worth the compromise of an overall softer image.
For those wanting to capture the action on the ski slopes or in the pool, up to 3.7 frames per second burst capture is offered at full resolution, which isn't bad for its class, with the option to up this to 10fps if dropping down to three megapixels. More exciting for some, the camera also features a 3D shooting option, mirroring the Sweep Panorama feature of the latest Sony Cyber-shot and NEX compacts by compositing the final image from a sequence of shots – though here up to 20 individual frames, which is far less than the 100 images utilised by the range topping Sony's. Like its rival manufacturer, with 3D mode selected, the user simply pans with the camera in the direction of the arrow provided on screen, accompanied by a machine-gun like sample of the shutter firing. The camera automatically generates the end result and saves it as an MPO file. As ever this isn't actually viewable unless you own a 3D TV, although, as when shooting with the specialist 3D lens for Panasonic's GF2 and GH2 models, a low resolution JPEG is saved alongside the MPO file for immediate reference.
With a street price of around £300 at the time of writing, whilst not cheap the FT3 feels like fair value if you really do need the added protection it affords .It also looks like decent value compared to its predecessors, given the extras of compass, 3D and GPS. So how does it handle in practice? Read on to find out…

Yahoo, in the midst of fighting a lawsuit in Mexico that could cost it $2.7 billion or more, has just lost its top legal official in the country.
Maria Andrea Valles, Yahoo Mexico's general counsel, recently updated her LinkedIn profile to show she'd left that company and joined Google as a corporate counsel.
A Google spokesperson confirmed the hire. Yahoo did not respond to a request for comment.
Claudia Villegas, a columnist for Milenio, a Mexican newspaper recently reported that a large group of Yahoo lawyers had gathered in Mexico in late December to analyze the lawsuit and formulate a response.
Valles had worked for Yahoo first as outside legal counsel, then in-house, since 2008, according to her LinkedIn profile. In 2010, she gave a lecture on privacy and transparency in Monterrey.
Her departure comes at a singularly inopportune time for Yahoo, considering that it's pursuing an appeal of the $2.7 billion judgment that a court awarded Worldwide Directories, Yahoo's former business partner in a telephone-directory project.
Worldwide Directories claimed that it had reached tentative agreements to start extending its telephone-directory partnership beyond Mexico, which led to an award of damages based not just on its Mexican business but the potential business it could have generated around the world.
Yahoo has previously said the original lawsuit is without merit and it has filed an appeal in the case.
Yahoo has already seen many changes to its legal team. The lawyer who handled the original lawsuit for Yahoo subsequently left his firm, Baker & McKenzie. Then Yahoo hired a well-known Mexican law firm for the appeal.
Even the judge who originally heard the case has changed jobs.

Remarkable Penn State Stories
'BTN LiveBIG' show, airing Thursday, February 6, at 8 p.m. Eastern time, highlights inspiring ability athletes and the ground-breaking work of a rain forest ecologist
Penn State students, coaches and faculty researchers making a difference in the world are featured in the next episode of "BTN LiveBIG," which air at 8 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, Feb. 6, on the Big Ten Network (BTN).
According to the network, the Penn State episode takes viewers into the world of parasites and the creation of "zombie ants," a phenomenon that has wreaked havoc on the ant population.
Biologist and entomologist David Hughes' research includes the study of parasites, particularly the spread of plant diseases by insect populations, a scenario that often results in devastating effects to crop yields. Hughes also examines disease proliferation among the insects themselves. One ant parasite attacks the ant and ends up controlling its behavior, causing the ant to bite a plant leaf to infect it with a fungus.
Studying groups of these so-called zombie ants has taken him to research sites around the world, but now Hughes and students in his lab have discovered ways to replicate the zombie ant phenomenon in the lab. They are finding ways to eliminate the parasites — and considering how these patterns of group dynamics might also apply to human populations.
The episode also will showcase the success of the University's Ability Athletics program, which encourages students with physical challenges, including Wounded Warriors, to participate in recreational and competitive athletics.
For 15 years, Penn State Ability Athletics coordinator Teri Jordan coached the women's track program. Nearly 15 years ago she retired from that position and embraced a new coaching role as programming coordinator of Penn State Ability Athletics. In 2004 she coached the U.S. Paralympics team in Athens.
"BTN LiveBIG" interviews Jordan and Penn State students with physical challenges who participate in recreational fitness, such as wheelchair basketball games, as well as future Paralympics hopefuls who train at the University's world-class facilities.
During the show, Penn State men's basketball coach Pat Chambers shares with viewers what makes Penn State such a special place. Also featured in the episode is Penn State's world renowned turf science program that researches ways to make fields softer and safer for athletes.
In its second season, "BTN LiveBIG" is the second BTN collaborative campus program series produced in conjunction with the Big Ten Conference and its 12 universities, following 2012's "Impact the World." BTN has expanded the online hub for the show, http://www.BTNLiveBIG.com, to feature additional daily content from each Big Ten school as well as curate conversations surrounding these motivating people and programs from the "BTN LiveBIG" Facebook and Twitter pages.

Total LED shop
Hygena is one of the best-known kitchen brands in France. The Hygena brand offers complete kitchen solutions through about 127 wholly owned stores. All shops are between 100 and 600 m2, and include exhibition, shop and office area.
In connection with the total refurbishment of the shops the customer's request was to get an installation with low level of maintenance, low energy consumption and efficient lighting. A truly sustainable project.
Optimized lighting solution
Fagerhult proposed an optimized lighting solution with about half the number of fixtures compared to the old solution. This was possible because of an advanced and well-planned lighting design, which really focused on aiming the light correctly and accentuating important areas. Still, Fagerhult managed to raise the lighting level with more than 30 %.
The result is a really clean and sophisticated solution with much shorter installation time than the previous installation. The product delivered to this project was a version of Noc 1300 lumen, developed specifically for Hygena.
Hygena needed a luminaire that could be attached in the 40 mm thick soft tile ceiling. Fagerhult changed the construction of the luminaire for the springs to be able to attach the thick ceiling properly. To create a homely feeling and add eye-catching features, there were also several different decorative pendants from the Fagerhult range installed.
Fagerhult France developed a new solution for us that gave more and better light, cost less in investment and less in running costs. They went all the way to get it installed in a very short time juggling between different factories and their customer being in France and Sweden. They did this in a very professional way and gave us satisfaction in each part of the process, says Per Kaufmann Head of Continental European Retail at Nobia.
For 117 more shops
Hygena was very satisfied in terms of the concept, design, quality of the products supplied and high quality of light rendering. And as a result of this Fagerhult will deliver the lighting for a total of 117 Hygena shops in France.

John Wilkes
John Wilkes, 1727–97, English politician and journalist. He studied at the Univ. of Leiden, returned to England in 1746, and purchased (1757) a seat in Parliament. Backed by Earl Temple, Wilkes founded (1762) a periodical, the North Briton, in which he made outspoken attacks on George III and his ministers. In the famous issue No. 45 (1763), Wilkes went so far as to criticize the speech from the throne. He was immediately arrested on the basis of a general warrant (one that did not specify who was to be arrested), but his arrest was adjudged a breach of parliamentary privilege by Chief Justice Charles Pratt, who later ruled also that general warrants were illegal. The government then secured Wilkes's expulsion from Parliament on the grounds of seditious libel and obscenity (Wilkes was notoriously dissolute and the author of an obscene parody of Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, which was used against him).
Wilkes fled (1764) to Paris and was convicted of seditious libel in his absence. He returned in 1768 and was repeatedly elected to Parliament from Middlesex, but each time he was denied his seat by the king's party. The issue, in the eyes of the angry populace, became a case of royal manipulation of parliamentary privilege against Wilkes to restrain the people's right to elect their own representatives. Wilkes was supported by Edmund Burke and the unknown writer Junius, but he was not seated. After 22 months in prison for his libel conviction, he was elected sheriff of London (1771) and lord mayor (1774). In 1774 he was again elected and this time allowed to take his seat in Parliament, where he championed the liberties of the American colonies and fought for parliamentary reform. He lost popular favor for his vigorous action as chamberlain of London in suppressing the Gordon riots (1780). Although a demagogue, Wilkes was a champion of freedom of the press and the rights of the electorate.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- One of the main reasons Florida's passing offense has struggled since 2009 is the lack of production -- or a playmaker -- at receiver.
If the Gators' 2013 passing offense is going to be better than the unit that ranked 114th nationally last season, the receivers must be significantly better. Redshirt junior Quinton Dunbar, redshirt senior Andre Debose, and senior Trey Burton are the most experienced receivers and should be UF's go-to playmakers, but each have limitations.
Dunbar has 50 career catches, but he hasn't developed into the downfield threat the Gators have needed. Debose (29 career catches) has been that at times, but his career has been marred by inconsistency and work-ethic issues. Burton (69 career catches) has so many roles that it's hard for him to excel at one, and he's more of a short-yardage, possession receiver.
Sophomores Latroy Pittman and Raphael Andrades each caught two passes last season and were used more as blockers than receivers.
That means UF will be depending on two or more of the five signees to make a substantial impact. Demarcus Robinson is the most likely, as he enrolled in January and participated in spring practice. But either Ahmad Fulwood, Alvin Bailey, Marqui Hawkins or Chris Thompson will have to produce, too.
But even having only one of those freshmen become a reliable and productive part of the offense might be asking too much. It's hard for true freshman receivers to make an impact -- as the past 23 years have shown.
Florida hasn't had much luck with freshman receivers, especially when it comes to being anything more than someone who gets mop-up work.
The Gators have signed 61 receivers from 1990-2012, but only 20 played as true freshmen -- and only 19 caught passes. Of those 19, only four caught more than seven passes: Reidel Anthony, Ike Hilliard, Andre Caldwell and Percy Harvin. Anthony, Hilliard and Harvin all became first-round NFL draft picks and Caldwell was a third-round pick.
Here's more proof that it takes an especially gifted player to make an impact as a freshman: Twelve the 16 receivers who played as true freshmen from 1990-2009 went on to become draft picks.
Is there an incoming receiver who can make an impact in 2013? There's no way to know right now until September, but based on the last two-plus decades, it's unlikely.

LITTLE ROCK � Extended litigation over lethal injection and dwindling options for carrying out the procedure have forestalled executions in Arkansas for nearly a decade. Now the state's top legal officer wants a statewide discussion on the future of capital punishment here.
LITTLE ROCK � Extended litigation over lethal injection and dwindling options for carrying out the procedure have forestalled executions in Arkansas for nearly a decade. Now the state�s top legal officer wants a statewide discussion on the future of capital punishment here.
Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said recently that the state should either fix its execution procedure or abolish the death penalty.
He�s not alone.
Laurent A. Sacharoff, a University of Arkansas law professor and an expert on capital punishment, agrees that lawmakers and the general public should evaluate entire process.
�I think that the attorney general is right in that both here and other places the delays in executing people is a problem for everyone,� Sacharoff said, adding that cost and whether executions are actually a deterrent also should be part of the discussion.
The law professor said studies have found that it costs a state on average about $1 million more to sentence someone to death, go through all the appeals and perform the execution than to keep an inmate locked up for life.
Eighteen states and the District of Columbia have abolished the death penalty, including six since 2000, after facing many of the same problems as Arkansas. All but two of those 18 states � New Mexico and Illinois � are in the Northeast. Earlier this year, the Maryland Legislature voted to repeal it�s death penalty. The state�s Democratic governor signed the bill into law, effective Oct. 1.
Connecticut�s Democratic governor signed a bill repealing that state�s death penalty into law in 2012 after it passed both chambers of the Legislature. In Illinois, the Legislature passed a bill repealing that state�s death penalty in 2011 and it was signed into law by the state�s Democratic governor.
New Mexico�s Legislature in 2009 and New Jersey in 2007 both passed laws repealing their death penalty laws and they were signed by their Democratic governors.
In 2004, the New York Court of Appeals declared that state�s capital punishment law unconstitutional and three years later reduced the last remaining death sentence to life, leaving the state with a vacant death row and no death penalty laws.
Sacharoff said getting the Arkansas Legislature and the public support to support such a move would be extremely difficult.
Gov. Mike Beebe said before this year�s legislative session that he would sign legislation to abolish the death penalty if such a measure reached his desk. None did. Candidates to succeed the term-limited Democrat said last week the state�s death penalty system needs to be fixed but not repealed.
They voiced support for the death penalty, pointing to the strong support the death penalty apparently has among Arkansans. Some suggested that for solutions, the state should look to Texas, the nation�s most prolific state in executions.
�I think we�ve all had enough experience with the system, the challenges and DNA testing that we want to make sure we have all the protections in place so we�re actually accomplishing justice and not a miscarriage of justice,� said Republican Asa Hutchinson of Rogers, a former U.S. attorney, congressman and high-ranking official at U.S. Department of Homeland Security. �But once those protections are in place, I still believe it�s important and it can be an effective deterrent.�
Former U.S. Rep. Mike Ross of Prescott, who is seeking the Democratic Party�s gubernatorial nomination, said the death penalty should remain an option, though he offered no specific ways to address a system he termed �clearly broken.�
Republican businessman Curtis Coleman of Little Rock said the Legislature and state residents would not support repealing the death penalty and he believes the issues concerning extended litigation and getting the necessary death penalty drugs drugs can be addressed.
�I would be very reluctant, extremely reluctant, to accept that those issues could not be resolved,� he said.
Rep. Debra Hobbs, R-Rogers, who is also seeking the GOP gubernatorial nomination, said the amount of time condemned inmates spend on death row �dishonors the memory of the victims and their families and loved ones,� and that closure for family and friends of capital crimes is difficult with such uncertainty.
�I don�t think we have to reinvent the wheel,� she said, also suggesting also that state officials look to Texas for solutions.
However, Texas has problems of its own with the death penalty process.
The nation�s most prolific state in executions recently announced plans to go to a single dose of the sedative pentobarbital to put condemned prisoners to death because of dwindling supplies of the other drugs in what has been its three-drug cocktail.
The switch to penobarbital was made after the European supplier of another drug that state used, sodium thiopental, quit making it amid pressure from anti-death penalty groups. A shortage also is developing in penobarbital after its Danish manufacturer said it would try to prevent its use in executions.
An Oklahoma inmate earlier this month asked a federal court to halt his upcoming execution because that state has only one dose of penobarbital left. The inmate�s lawyer argued that the state has no backup plan if the drug fails to render him unconscious, and that creates a risk of cruel and unusual punishment.
In Arkansas, 27 condemned prisons have been executed since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976, but none since 2005 because of ongoing legal challenges to the state�s lethal injection procedure.
Last year the state Supreme Court struck down the procedure set forth in a 2009 law written to address challenges to the legality of changing death penalty procedures. The high court ruled the three-year-old law gave the state prison director too much discretion in choosing death penalty chemicals, in violation of the separation of powers doctrine.
This year the Legislature set specific procedures and drugs to be used in putting a prison to death. The new law, Act 139, has prompted yet a new legal challenge. Meanwhile, New Jersey-based West-Ward Pharmaceuticals closed its account with the state prison system because its parent company did not want its products used in executions.
�It�s a complicated issue and we knew at the time when we were drafting that statute that we�d see another lawsuit,� said the bill�s sponsor Rep. Nate Steel, D-Nashville, a death-penalty supporter and a candidate for attorney general in 2014.
The two announced Republican candidates to succeed term-limited McDaniel also support the death penalty.
�There are problems and it does need to be fixed and the Legislature should be the one to take it up,� said Leslie Rutledge of Little Rock. �I think this issue � needs to be addressed for the sake of everyone involved in the criminal justice system.�
David Sterling of North Little Rock said, �When a jury sees fit, given the high burden of proof that must be shown to sentence somebody to execution, as attorney general I will do everything I can to help craft those statutes and help defend those statutes.�
Former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, who is seeking the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, did not respond last week to repeated requests for comment.

Kansas bail bondsman accused of bonding women out of jail for sex
A Hutchinson bail bondsman will stand trial on charges that he sought sex from women in exchange for bonding them out of jail.
A Reno County judge ruled Thursday that 66-year-old Dwight Jurgens of Hutchinson will stand trial on eight charges including rape and aggravated human trafficking.
The Hutchinson News reports Jurgens, who was released on $100,000 bond, will be arraigned June 3.
Four women testified during a preliminary hearing that Jurgens bonded them out of jail when other bonding companies wouldn't. They testified either that they had sex with Jurgens after he bonded them out, or that he had bond pulled after a woman refused his advances.
Jurgens' attorney argued the allegations didn't fit the charge of aggravated human trafficking.

Argentina v New Zealand, Rugby Championship
Pumas eye Kiwis for elusive win
ESPN Staff
September 24, 2012
New Zealand's Conrad Smith vies for the ball against Argentina in their recent meeting © Getty Images
Argentina host New Zealand on Saturday with the hosts searching for their first win in the Rugby Championship and against the All Blacks.
The two sides have met 15 times through the years, with New Zealand coming out on top on 14 occasions. Argentina's best effort was a 21-21 draw back in 1985, when the great Hugo Porta landed all of their points.
Argentina have fared badly at times, with a 93-8 humbling in Wellington in 1997 a particular lowlight. Carlos Spencer was Argentina's tormentor-in-chief that day, the mercurial fly-half scoring two of his side's 14 tries as well as contributing 23 points off the kicking tee.
The form guide suggests that the Pumas will have to wait for the comforts of home before mounting a serious charge at the All Blacks, with their last meeting in Buenos Aires in 2006 finishing 25-19 to the visitors after a hard-fought encounter.
The teams met at last year's Rugby World Cup, when the All Blacks survived an early scare to pull through 33-10 thanks to tries from Kieran Read and Brad Thorn. And in their previous match in the Rugby Championship, the Pumas rallied but eventually lost 21-5 to the All Blacks.
Argentina v New Zealand
All-time record: Played 15; Argentina won 0, New Zealand won 14, drawn 1
Biggest winning margins: Arg: N/A; NZ: 85 (93-8 Wellington, 1997)
Highest score: Arg: 21 (21-21 Buenos Aires, 1985); NZ: 93 (93-8 Wellington, 1997)
Most tries: Arg: 2 (20-24 Buenos Aires 2001, 20-33 Buenos Aires 1985, 14-28 Buenos Aires 1991, 19-67 Christchurch 2001); NZ: 14 (93-8 Wellington, 1997)
Most points (individual): Arg: 65 Hugo Porta; NZ: 103 Grant Fox

text: Apparently computer science is not too interesting and costs too much. $1.7 mil at University of Florida apparently. So obviously we cut it, so that the athletic department (costing $99 mil) can get an extra $2 mil a year. It's obvious where our priorities are as a society. Even if nothing got cut, 1.7 vs 99 is pretty bad.

Check out these celebrity apprentice images:
David Hasselhoff
Image by Eva Rinaldi Celebrity and Live Music Photographer David Hasselhoff Joins The Celebrity Apprentice Australia; Dog Day For The Hoff "The Hoff" flew in to Sydney, Australia yesterday off the long flight from London, but Hasselhoff didn't look too worse for wear. Yesterday he was doing Bondi Beach and today he tipped off the world via his Twitter that he would be at Alexandria today, and "The Hoff" didn't disappoint. Today he appeared in a motivator type role for Australia's Celebrity Apprentice as he participated in the celebrity dog wash antics at Sydney Park, Alexandria, in front of an appreciative crowd of almost a thousand (and a few hundred dogs). Ian "Dicko" Dickson and Vince Sorrenti appeared to be the most vocal on the megaphone in getting pooch (and Hoff) lovers to part with their hard earned cash. All had to work hard as the celeb dog wash and other doggie activities occurred in 30 something degrees heat. Hoff was able to cool off a bit with his young girlfriend and was seen reaching for the sweat rag more than once. Hoff's son seemed to enjoy himself, and former AFL star Jason Akermanis was frequently running around the park's stalls. Even Batman and The Joker from DC Comics fame showed up for the fun. On the other side of the park the women's team got into the spirit of things too, but Hoff's team drew the biggest crowd 10:1. All the talent we spoke with today were very friendly and seemed to genuinely appreciate the strong turn out. When quizzed about his favourite breed of dog, Hasselhoff joked "Hoff Dog", which got a nice reaction from the crowd. His shirt removal appeared to get the biggest pop from the crowd and as you would expect news media and fans focused in on Hoff's chest. To their credit, event organisers offered water to the crowd. Police were on hand for the event and its understood things ran smoothly throughout. Channel Nine producers believe former Baywatch star Hasselhoff will guarantee the second series of Apprentice will make global headlines. Hasselhoff is appearing on the show to raise money for his nominated charity, Starlight Foundation. Today he joined other signings including outspoken and gay AFL identity Jason Akermanis, former Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson and others. Also participating in today's dog mania was comedian Vince Sorrenti, Ben Dark and Tania Zaetta and Lauryn Eagle were on the ladies team. Thousands of dollars was raised today but we understand you will have to tune into Channel Nine to find out exactly what the final $ bottom line was. Filming of the new Australian celebrity Apprentice began in Sydney this week. The show will once again be hosted by Australian finance guru Mark Bouris. This coming Celebrity Apprentice is expected to rate higher than the last series, and if a success, producers will consider a third time lucky run. Woof.

Clouds circle around the south pole of Saturn in this image from the Cassini spacecraft. The vortex is a giant hurricane, with the warmest temperatures yet seen on Saturn. This image shows smaller storms popping up inside the vortex, which is as wide as Earth. Winds on its edge reach 350 miles per hour. [NASA/JPL]
You are here
Moon and Saturn
The coldest temperatures ever seen here on Earth were recorded at a research station in Antarctica, not far from the south pole. On the planet Saturn, though, the south pole is the site of the warmest temperatures yet recorded — about a hundred degrees warmer than at the equator.
That hotspot is inside the south polar vortex — a hurricane-like storm that's as wide as Earth. It has a large central "eye," just as hurricanes do, that's surrounded by two walls of clouds. Clouds in the outer wall are about 20 miles high, while those in the inner wall are twice as high. And winds at the edge of the vortex reach speeds of about 350 miles per hour — twice as strong as the most powerful hurricanes on Earth.
Like hurricanes, the vortex must be powered by heat from below it. On Earth, that heat comes from the oceans. But Saturn has no oceans, so scientists are trying to pinpoint the source of the vortex's heat. And they're also trying to understand why the heat breaks through only at the south pole — creating a hotspot in Saturn's cold atmosphere.
Look for Saturn quite low in the east about 45 minutes before sunrise tomorrow. It looks like a moderately bright star. It's a bit tough to see through the glow of early dawn, but the crescent Moon is close to the right of Saturn, helping you pick out the giant planet. Brilliant Venus, the "morning star," stands well above them, completing a beautiful tableau in the dawn sky.

Nearly seven months after tearing his Achilles tendon, reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Terrell Suggs is expected to play in the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, though multiple sources say it will be a game-time decision.
The Ravens activated Suggs from the physically unable to perform list Saturday but have not indicated what role he would play in the game or how much action he would see. Suggs had offseason surgery on his Achilles, which he tore in April.
The Ravens waived outside linebacker Sergio Kindle to make roster room for Suggs.
The Ravens' defense already was missing their top pass rusher before linebacker Ray Lewis (torn triceps) and cornerback Ladarius Webb (torn anterior cruciate ligament) were lost to injuries. The unit ranks No. 26 in total defense. Suggs will be a much-welcomed addition if he is close to playing at his All-Pro level.
UPDATE: Suggs, who started the game, is expected to play about a dozen plays, NFL.com and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter @kareemcopeland.

Massachusetts Bar Association President Denise Squillante
presented the first two MBA Centennial Awards at a Sept. 30 Bristol
County Bar Association reception in Swansea, an event at which
Squillante was also honored by her hometown.
"It is quite humbling to be at this podium, in this moment, in
this centennial year of the MBA," said Squillante, who announced
the creation of the MBA Centennial Award after receiving the key to
her native city from Fall River Mayor William A. Flanagan.
Following remarks outlining her focus for the MBA's association
year, Squillante shifted the evening's spotlight to Nancy Stanton
and Robert Marchand, the first recipients of the award, which will
be bestowed across the state in the coming months.
Awardees are recognized for their "extraordinary achievement" in
advancing the rule of law and the integrity of the profession, and
in preserving the democratic principles of the nation.
Squillante noted Stanton's efforts in putting together a volunteer
conciliation proposal to be considered by the Supreme Judicial
Court for use in the small claims session of the District Court,
among many accolades.
Likewise, Squillante pointed to Marchand's dedicated service to
Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers in assisting colleagues who are often
going through their most difficult professional moments. Both were
on hand to receive the honor.
"For their service, we thank them," said Squillante. "They will be
examples for lawyers who follow them in the next centennial as to
what service does mean to the profession and to the community as a

It's a simple question, for a function $f(x)$, if it can be write as:
$f(x) = \frac{a}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a_n\sin nx + b_n\cos nx$
from this formula, we can know the energy at frequency $\frac{n}{2\pi} $ it equal to $\sqrt{a_n^2+b_n^2}$.
but for a function $f(t)$. think about its forier transform: $g(\theta)=\int f(t)e^{-i\theta t}dt$
why $g(\theta)$ tell us energy of $f(t)$ at frequency $\frac{\theta}{2\pi}$.

As a beginner I am just starting out and trying to get the timing for when to blow and how much pressure I need. I find myself over blowing or just filling up the bag and continuing to blow into the pipe until I get tired.
I know that I am doing it wrong so I am doing the ergo-dynamic thing and trying to figure out the best position for the bag, aside from "just stick it under your arm". I find myself squeezing it and trying to bring my elbow, if the bag weren't there, across the front of my body. I have started to try out different positions as well, such as squeezing the bag by bringing my arm straight down toward my side or wrapping my arm around the bag and squeezing the bag more like a hug. I am not sure which is better or which is the easiest way to squeeze the bag.
Any advice here would be good.
I hope that what I have written makes sense.
Also, is it normal that when the bag gets low you need to squeeze harder and harder to keep the bag going? I am trying to play it all the way to the squeaky end and it gets impossibly hard to squeeze with just one bag full.

Re: Playing position and pressure on the bag
no need to squeeze the bitter dregs out of the bag, blow when you feel uncomfortable with the amount of pressure you are using to make a sound. It is a feel, comes with time.

Early in 1983, the Sri Rajarajeshwari Peetham was shocked at notification from Pennsylvania state that they had to provide a huge drainage field for their Hindu Heritage Summer Camp bathroom facilities - a project costing over $100,000. Strong medicine for an up-and-coming spiritual organization, a similar requirement adversely affected the Integral Yoga Institute's Yogaville West several Years ago, stimulating a move to Connecticut. But with a determination that goes on and on, a major fundraising campaign was begun under the leadership of Her Holiness Mahamandaleshwari Sri Swami Saraswati Devyashram.
Quite early in the game, the India Foundation of Michigan primed the flow of donations with a grant of $10,000. With that and substantial loans, work was begun on the capital improvements needed to keep the camp open. Now, $75,000 still needs to be raised to repay the loans.
Meanwhile, the Peetham is looking more stable than ever and is strengthening ties with the Sringiri Peetham of the Shankarachariya Order in South India - ties first established in 1978 when His Holiness 1008 Jagadguru Abhinava Vidya Tirtha Maharaj "gave his Blessings for the establishment of the Sakti Peetham in the West." In November the head of Rajeswari Peetham visited the Sringiri Peetham. "Meeting with their Holinesses for the purpose of advancing Sanatana Dharma in the United States," she wrote from India in an appeal for funds and news update to devotees. A copy of a telegram enclosed with the note reads: Nov. 8 Jagadguru extended to S.R. Peetham protection of Sringiri Paramparai/He said, 'I am there'/He decreed Peetham will also have own Paramparai and flourish with his blessings/Jagadguru presented Swami Saraswati Sphatika (crystal) Mala and gave mantra upadesha Nov. 10.
The youthful, American-born spiritual leader is relentless in her missionary zeal. "When these loans are satisfied, Sri Rajarajeshwari Peetham will be free to develop further programs and facilities to teach your youngsters about their heritage, and to provide for your family to practice the religious and spiritual traditions of our Vedic faith," she writes. "In addition, there is a tremendous need within the Hindu community in America for our dynamic programs in healing, meditation and the release of life's unnecessary tensions...Please do not hesitate to send us your generous contribution today..." Those wishing to help the Peetham may write to: Sri Rajarajeshwari Peetham, R.D. 3 Box 3430, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.

So here a couple of magic items from the old Arduin books that I'd like to use in more recent D&D. How would you update (or stat) these?
Stasis Bag - a sort of super bag of holding. It's size of a belt-pouch, and always weighing about a pound. It can hold almost any size of object as long as at least some part of the object can fit through the 6-inch wide opening. There is no air or light in the bag, so no living beings can be stored in it. Time does not pass in the bag. (one of the traps we encountered was a live grenade with the pin pulled inside the bag)
Life-Savers - a small candylike pill. The user ingests one (and only one) at the start of an encounter. During the encounter if the user dies, the lifesaver resurrects them one time. The pill only lasts one encounter. If the user tries to take more than one per encounter, they immediately die, and only a wish can return them to life.

Accenture has been on a journey to move to a faster and better ERP to prepare the company to handle future growth. To this end, Accenture's internal IT organization is undertaking a multi-year effort to implement a more powerful ERP.
Accenture runs its core financial processing on a single global instance of SAP® Business Suite on HANA. Accenture chose to implement SAP Business Suite on HANA because it is a necessary step to getting to SAP S/4HANA®—the final upgrade step in Accenture's journey.
As part of this journey, internal IT seized the opportunity to implement SAP HANA as a data mart in the public cloud, a separate SAP HANA system used as an analytics platform, to enable new analytics capabilities.
The journey began when internal IT migrated Accenture's Finance and HR system from SAP Business Suite on Microsoft SQL to SAP Business Suite on HANA. During this time, IT implemented SAP HANA as a data mart in the public cloud, used as an analytics platform, and integrated it with Accenture's existing platform in addition to the existing SAP Business Warehouse (BW) platform. The aim was to take advantage of the new ability to access live data and deliver analytics capabilities that were never available before, starting with the finance domain.
Before this point, Accenture, like many organizations, was constrained in generating real-time finance reporting due to a complex enterprise data architecture. The migration to SAP HANA, however, enabled the team to deploy a new, innovative architecture. This architecture is a new SAP HANA data mart platform that is connected real-time with Accenture's SAP ERP and SAP BW. It enables direct connectivity with Accenture's data lake for advanced analytics business cases using data sourced from SAP and non-SAP systems.
Using agile methodology and the flexibility of the SAP HANA data mart platform, the Accenture IT reporting team can now implement specific, real-time analytic use cases rapidly. Finance users can view financial data in real-time and through charts and other visualizations.

February 3, 2013, Kent, (ISN) – The Tri-City Americans defeated the Seattle Thunderbirds 4-3 in overtime Saturday night at the ShoWare Center.
Seattle went up 1-0 at 12:35 of the first period on pretty play by Seth Swenson and Connor Sanvido. Just as the T-Birds killed off a penalty Swenson got control of the puck just inside the Seattle blue line. Swenson skated up ice with Sanvido on his right and Justin Hickman coming out of the penalty box. Coming down the slot Swenson toe-dragged the puck past an Americans defender, faked left forcing Tri-City goalie Luke Lee-Knight to slide to his right. Then Swenson dropped the puck back to Sanvido who had a wide open net. Sanvido easily put the puck into the net for his 12th goal of the season.
The T-Birds outshot the Americans 11-6 in the first period.
Seattle (19-29-4-1) took a 2-0 lead at 10:59 of the second period on Jesse Forsberg's fifth goal of the year. Riley Sheen sent the puck to Hickman behind the Americans net. Hickman passed it to the Forsberg at the left point. Forsberg skated towards the high slot and took a wrist shot with traffic in front of the net that beat Lee-Knight on the glove side.
Tri-City (31-19-1-2) cut the T-Birds lead to one goal when Parker Bowles scored at 12:31 of the second. Zachary Yuen and Justin Gutierrez had the assists.
The T-Birds led in shots, 30-16, after two periods by outshooting the Americans 19-10 in the second period.
The Americans tied the game 2-2 at 9:01 of the third period when Malte Stromwall scored. Drydn Dow and Parker Bowles had the assists.
Swenson put the T-Birds in front 3-2 at 14:27 of the third when he scored on a breakaway. Connor Honey got the puck at the Tri-City blue line and centered it to Swenson entering the zone alone. Swenson came down on Lee-Knight and beat him the glove side for the go-ahead goal.
Tri-City tied the game 3-3 at 18:27 when Justin Feser scored with Lee-Knight on the bench for an extra attacker. Both teams had a player in the penalty box, so the goal was scored in four-on-four situation with the goalie pulled. Mitch Topping had the only assist on the goal.
Tri-City outshot Seattle 11-5 in the third period but Seattle led 35-27 in total shots after regulation play.
Feser scored the game winner 27 seconds into the overtime when he put back a rebound. Stromwall and Dow had the assists.
Seattle outshot Tri-City 35-28 in the game.
Seattle goalie Brandon Glover made 24 saves on 28 shots and his record is now 18-21-4-1.
Lee-Knight stopped 32 of 35 shots and his record is now 10-5-0-0.

If you think that the promo for tonight's Covert Affairs season finale (USA, 10 p.m. ET) showing Auggie (Christopher Gorham) and Annie (Piper Perabo) finally finding a moment for that "talk" he's been wanting to have looks too good to be true, it's not. "As the promo suggests, the life of our show is gonna change. We're gonna see a moment that will change the trajectory of our characters' lives," co-creator Matt Corman says. "Traditionally, we don't do cliffhangers, we do big moves. I think this is consistent with that."
How does co-creator Chris Ord expect fans to feel after the hour? "Excited, thrilled… a little bit scared," he says.
Watch the promo below. Come back to Inside TV tonight at 11 p.m. ET for a postmortem interview with Corman and Ord.

If you haven't seen the documentary on Michael Johnson, the paralyzed racer gunning for the Indy 500, go watch it now. When you're done, here's another story of how he keeps his sense of humor.
This piece comes from to us from RacerJiminez, who added this in the comment section of our story on Johnson.
Funny story about this guy. I was racing with him a couple years ago and someone spun and hit him and he rolled and went into the wall etc. When the medics came he told him he couldn't feel his legs and freaked them out. Good sense of humor about the whole thing.
We see that crash in the doc, but not the discussion with the medics. We wish we were half as cool as this guy.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Find the Answer
The individual inspecting this installation got a real surprise, didn't they? Yes, that's a block of ice in the bottom section of this box.
A rigid PVC enters the top of the box. Unfortunately, the installer didn't use the proper fitting and locknut to attach it to the box in this wet location. As noted in a portion of 352.10(D), "PVC conduit shall be permitted in portions of dairies, laundries, canneries, or other wet locations, and in locations where walls are frequently washed, the entire conduit system, including boxes and fittings used therewith, shall be installed and equipped so as to prevent water from entering the conduit."
In addition, the liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit (LFNC) and associated fittings used on the left and right side of the box are required to be listed per 356.6. (Note: LFNC is defined in Section 356.2). Angle connectors shall not be used for concealed raceway installations. Straight LFNC fittings are permitted for direct burial or encasement in concrete, as per 356.42.

While in savasana in my Bikram yoga class today, I was crafting a letter to my teacher, who I hold as one of my most influential teachers. Every time I am in her class, I reflect on the space of encouragement, truth, and unconditional love she holds for her students that ignited my flame back in 2005. 6 months later I quit my job, gave up my NYC apartment, unloaded all of my belongings, and packed 2 duffle bags for my journey to LA where I would learn from Bikram Choudhary. It was the first journey in my life I'd embark on without a plan. I only knew I'd be living and breathing yoga for 9 weeks. It was a journey of letting go, releasing my story of trauma, choosing sobriety, all in hopes that I could learn how to love myself.
Almost 7 years later (today), I walk out of my loving teacher's class and she thanks me with deep gratitude for being a seed of courage for her – for my understanding of what this means, how the courage takes root, feels, and manifests deep within the fibers of our being.
I giggled and shared with her that throughout the class I was reflecting on how she feeds me courage. And here's just another event in my life that reminds me how we are all one. When we are open to each other, we are each other's teachers. We are mirrors for one another. If we are willing to release our fear to stand in our own truth, I believe love becomes abundant, accessible, and spills into every facet of our life. With this vulnerability, we begin to love ourselves.
My goal was to go 60 days on just juice. After 31 days I stopped counting. I think I juiced for 35 – 40 days. During the juice feast, I experienced profound shifts. I've maintained almost a daily Bikram yoga practice. I've been making it to the gym 3-5 times a week. I'm nourishing my body from the inside out. I've been in constant action. My body is opening up. Everyday in yoga, I'm in awe of my increased flexibility. I recognize my reflection in the mirror. The bags under my eyes are disappearing. I feel reconnected to my faith. I feel more trusting to the process. There has been a letting go of fear. I'm more at ease. Everyday challenges no longer throw me off. I feel deeply connected to my gratitude. Where I'd normally turn my back and run, I've stood in my discomfort and created an opportunity to grow. I know I have a lot of love to share and I'm not holding back. I also allow myself to feel my pain and move through it until I come back to that special sweet spot of unconditional love… for myself and others.
My intention for just drinking juice was to create space for me to come back to feeling aligned and confident with my purpose. I did not want it to become a count down to the day I could chew solid food again and treat myself to something sweet. It was about creating positive patterns; re-training myself to nourish my body, mind, and spirit and drinking the magic juice.
So, when I started to experience some weakness in my yoga practice and with my workouts somewhere around day 35-40, I decided to transition slowly back into consuming food with fiber – first with just juice and shakes. Today, I'm drinking 1-2 quarts of green juice everyday with a midday meal. My body craves our Sweet Lady Green and I now treat myself like a Sun In Bloom guest and put my order in for a week supply of juice every Monday. I know this juice is a key to me living my best life possible.
And just after I made this contract with myself to drink at least 2 organic cold-pressed Norwalk green juices everyday, I received an email from my special teacher requesting to purchase a month of Sun In Bloom's green juices to support her in drinking 2 a day. Yes, we are all connected.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend for brunch or whenever the time is right for you to return to Sun In Bloom. We are always here for you. And, now open 7 days a week!
Wishing you abundant joy, pleasure, and love in your life.

Ukraine After the Orange Revolution: Can It Complete Military Transformation and Join the U.S.-Led War on Terrorism?
November 08, 2006
Authored by Dr. Deborah Sanders.
Ukraine's ability to contribute to the U.S.-led war on terror through the provision of niche capabilities such as peacekeeping troops is contingent on successful military transformation, democratic consolidation, and good relations with neighbors. However, a more democratic Ukraine with democratically controlled armed forces might be less willing and able to deploy peacekeeping troops into a complex theatre of operation.
