Ever trying to figure out a way to "monetize" my blog, I've decided to go into the whisky business. I was inspired by a web savvy retailer who recently sent a number of prominent whisky bloggers (myself, needless to say, not included) whisky samples and asked them to come up with their own blended whiskies. The retailer is now actually selling the resulting blends. That's right, for a mere $48 (plus shipping) you can sample 10 blends put together by some of the web's most prominent whisky bloggers.
I do have to say that I worry a bit about my fellow bloggers in this scheme. It appears that the bloggers are making blends to be sold at retail, and giving oodles of free publicity to said retailer on their blogs. As far as I can tell, though, said bloggers are not sharing in the profits (though who knows?). Well, this doesn't sound like a very good deal to me, so I figured I would cut out the middle man. I have loads of whisky in the closet; why not blend it together and sell it on my own.
That's what I did, and the results are in. I am proud to introduce the Scotch Blended Whisky Society. For a mere $75 membership fee, I will allow you to purchase a number of personally selected blends, specially tasted and given descriptive notes by my one-person blogger tasting panel (yes you read correctly, you pay a fee simply for the privilege of being able to then pay again for the actual whisky; brilliant, I know). In addition, you will have access to my beautiful tasting lounge (i.e. sparsely furnished back room) should you visit the Los Angeles area.
Here are the first selections you will have the privilege to buy if you choose to join the Society (I am using a numeric system to designate the blends so as not to divulge the component whiskies, but you may be able to guess what they are):
Blend 38.89032 1/2 (Bad Day at the Fair) PRESIDENT'S CHOICE
The primary malt in this whisky comes from the Dufftown distillery whose master distiller recently had a very bad case of head lice. This is mingled with the Islay peat monster whose brand ambassador went through an ugly divorce last year. All of that is blended with a number of grains, particularly that from the distillery in which the assistant floor malter neuters cats during his breaks. The nose evinces rancid oil, stale caramel apples and deep fried Snickers bars. The palate tastes of the fledgling hopes of carnies that there will be enough whisky to dull the sounds of screaming children, and the finish is the whiff of old beer, Fritos and cigarettes on the morning after the Strawberry Alarm Clock tribute band performed to a scattering audience of stoned out teenagers and the occasional confused patron looking for the pig races.
Blend 423,875 (International Crisis)
This international blend will have you booking tickets for The Hague. It includes Scotch malt and grain whiskies, Irish pure pot still, Bourbon, Canadian, Swedish, Welsh, Japanese, Taiwanese, Swiss, French, Indian and Argentinian whiskies as well as a rare, aluminum finished Panamanian whisky. The nose will make you recoil with the scent of failed international relations and the palate will follow with a dose of realpolitik and shuttle diplomacy, ending with a finish that can only result in mutually assured destruction.
Blend 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816... (Christmas Pi)
The nose and palate seem normal enough, but the finish just goes on, and on, and on, and on...
Blend -5 (Epistomological Crisis)
This whisky will lead you to question your very existence. The base malt comes from a distillery whose metacognitive narrative fails to take into account the post-colonial and indeed post-Freudian tropes that inform the distillation process, leading to a Lacanian paradox in which the paradigms of heads and tails are reconceptualized and detached from their signifiers. The grain elements add a post-structural palate that has no essential value such that it deconstructs the very nature of taste and yields to a dawning neo-historical recognition that the death of the distiller is indeed the birth of the taster.

Sorry Adam, I take only cash and South African Krugerrands.
Anon, it's a bargain, but it tastes mostly like Loch Dhu.

I just searched 'Loch Dhu'. Unless Buffalo Trace is secreting a release utilizing staves from 100% wounded and infected trees, they've much to learn 'bout spectacle. Maybe wounded cask whiskies are another niche your blog could monetize?

It's been a while from the last time Luffy bounced bullets. I almost forgot that Luffy's ability. Not much happened really but it's good to see poor Robin-chan, did she cried ? Good action, Paulie's rope action is sweet and Luchie's power is still kept hidden . These early releases are spoiling me, I'm getting used to this.
Edit: HQ version is up.

I can see what kinda looks like tears streaming down her cheek but I think it's just the picture. Of course, i have the low, low, low, super low, low quality copy, so it's hard for me to tell.
Anyway this is pretty much what I had expected, only I hadn't thought of how much the citizens aside from the Galley-la would react.
C'monnnnnnn opening for a proud Usopp re-entrance. >_>

A better raw is out. Think the town and the Galley-Las will still go after Usopp? Or will Usopp come in and save the day. Wonder if Sanji and Chopper will get jumped in town, think the town knows that there part of the crew? Also at the end, Robin wasn't crying, she was reading then seemed concerned once she heard what was happening in the town.
We also got to see another Arabasta character again.

i suppose you are talking about Kohsa (sp?) in the little side story of Gedatsu. Well now that i have seen a more better version of the raw it seems the Galley La people have normal people powers. Like Paulie has his rope moves. LuLu has his double guns which after he saw didnt work did some sweet kicks on Luffy. Kaku has weird ones tho like he throws spatulas and jumps high to do some air throws or something after Tileston did a home run swing with a huge chunk of wood on Franky. And Rob Lucchi did some weird punches like his version of a gomu gomu no gatling gun and then finished it with some super open hand thrust. No mention of devil fruits so im thinking they are like zoro and sanji in terms of powers.
Yea robin was hanging out and noticed the people below talking about what's happening and she seemed a bit confused and/or concerned although her expressions can be hard to read. the townspeople will most likely go after all the straw hats although sanji, chopper, and ussop dont have wanted posters. Nami got caught because was seen with luffy. So im thinking Kokoro or Ussop will show up next chapter.

Stephen's script for 337 is out.
Edit: I'm bored...
Ok if Galley-Las end up to be villains which I doubt fighting pairs could go like this. There is 7 main members in both groups.
Luffy vs Iceberg - Leaders
Zoro vs Tilestone - Battle of strength
Nami vs Paulie - Miniskirt & boobs vs Hates anything that's sexy
Usopp vs Lulu - Gun figthers
Sanji vs Kalifa - Kickers + Love Cook vs a Lady
Chopper vs Kaku - Jump power
Robin vs Luchi - Moodys and DF users(?)

Minnesota Congress Members to Take Oath at U.S. Capitol
WASHINGTON (AP) - Minnesota's members of Congress who were elected in November are being sworn in at the U.S. Capitol.
The 113th Congress convenes at noon eastern time on Thursday. New and returning members will be sworn in immediately, including Sen. Amy Klobuchar and the state's eight U.S. representatives.
Democrat Rick Nolan will be the state's only new member of Congress. And he's a veteran after previously served in Congress in the late 1970. Nolan staged a comeback by defeating Republican Chip Cravaack in northeastern Minnesota's 8th Congressional District.
He'll be joined by Democrats Tim Walz, Betty McCollum, Keith Ellison and Collin Peterson along with Republicans John Kline, Erik Paulsen and Michele Bachmann.
Klobuchar will be sworn in for her second six-year term. The Democrat was overwhelmingly reelected in November.

Agricultural and hunting leases up for competitive public bid summer 2011
June 15, 2011 – Hunting and agricultural leases on the White Lake Wetlands Conservation Area will be open for competitive public bid in mid-summer 2011, according to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF). Nearly 35,000 acres of the 71,000-acre property will be available as existing leases expire.
"While we are very grateful to our current leaseholders who have all been good stewards of the land, we have a responsibility to the citizens of Louisiana to allow all who would like a hunting or agricultural lease the opportunity to bid on it," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "Opening these leases up for competitive public bid ensures that the state will get fair market value for this land, as well as responsible tenants."
Public waterfowl hunts and lease revenues offset LDWF's operational costs to maintain the White Lake WCA acreage and facilities which exceed $1 million annually. The department is also facing erosion abatement costs along the Intracoastal Waterway that must be addressed.
The bid packets detailing land use stipulations and minimum per acre lease costs will be available July 17. Interested parties will have access to bid details online via the LDWF website or by mail upon request. Completed bid packages must be returned to LDWF by close of business on August 17. Following review of all bids submitted, winning bids will be announced in September.
To review the parcels and acreage totals that will be available during the bid process or request more information, visit http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/white-lake-leases on the LDWF website. Anyone without access to the LDWF website can call 225-765-2812 or send a letter of request to:
White Lake Wetlands WCA Bid Process 2011
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
P. O. Box 98000
Baton Rouge, LA 70898-9000
LDWF is currently working to secure an assessment of local leases values, which will aid in establishment of minimum bid values. Agricultural practices will also have to be maintained by those awarded leases in September. The term for all new leases will be 10 years with annual lease payments required.
LDWF's public waterfowl hunts, including the annual youth hunt, lottery hunts and corporate hunts, will still be offered by the department on the White Lake property as they have been since 2005. Plans have been made to expand public hunting opportunities beginning this fall.
LDWF began management of White Lake Preserve in 2005 as part of a transition agreement entered into between White Lake Preservation, Inc., and the state of Louisiana, and approved by BP America Production.
The property, near Gueydan in Vermilion Parish, was donated to the state in 2002 by BP and the transfer of management authority was mandated by legislation passed during the 2004 session. The original donation framework granted management control to White Lake Preservation, Inc., a non-profit charitable entity overseen by a designated board. Legislative action, approved in Act 613, placed property management decision-making under the control of LDWF and a 10-member advisory board appointed by the governor.
To request a lease packet or inquire about the stipulations of the competitive bid process, please contact Buddy Baker at 225-765-2812 or firstname.lastname@example.com. For all media inquiries or interview requests, please contact Bo Boehringer at 225-765-5115 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Recording: Calls between a specific pair of phones do not get recorded
From DocWiki
Calls between a specific pair of phones to not get recorded
|Problem Summary
| Calls between a specific pair of phones to not get recorded with the following conditions:
- Built-in-Bridge media forking
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|For calls between two phones in the same region, CUCM selects the best codec for the phones based on the audio bandwidth that is configured for internal region calls. For the calls between two regions, UCM selects the codec based on the audio bandwidth configured between these regions. For example, CUCM could select g.711 for calls that remain entirely within one region, but may require the g.729 codec for calls between two regions. However, if the SIP trunk to MediaSense is in a different region that does not permit the codec that CUCM happened to choose for the primary call, then the call will not be recorded
|Recommended Action
|Ensure that the bandwidth between the region the phone is in and the region that contains the SIP trunk to MediaSense is equal to or greater than the internal bandwidth for any region.

Looking for Isaacs family of VA, KY, and NE
Since my last posting of a year ago, I believe I have unraveled the direct lineage of my Isaacs family to their arrival in America. I discovered this through many other Isaacs researchers and through siblings of Samuel Isaacs, Jr., so I believe at this time that the following is the lineage. I have details for anyone who wants them.
Samuel Isaacs, Sr. born in Scotland approximately 1685, died 1750.
Samuel Isaacs, Jr. born 1710, died 1760
Godfrey Isaacs married to Sarah Ashby, born about 1735
Samuel Isaacs married to Nancy Baldridge, born about 1773
Godfrey Isaacs married to Kizzah Johnson, born 1794
Jacob Isaacs married to Rebecca Bowman, born 1810
Thomas J. Isaacs married to Mary Fant, born 1847(also known as
Charles Wright in Nebraska)
Charles Walter Isaacs, married to Louisa Ellen Purdy, born 1874
John Clifton Isaacs, married to Ardis Marie Fernquist, born 1914
Barbara Lee Isaacs, married to Richard Lee McGee, born 1943
If there are other researchers who are also studying this Isaacs line, please post or get in touch with me. I have a lot of information on the families of each of the names, except Samuel Sr. and Samuel Jr.
Looking for Ancestors of Thomas J. Isaacs of Kentucky
I am searching for the ancestors of Thomas J. Isaacs who married Mary Fant and had one son, Charles Walter, of Kentucky. Charles married Ellen Louisa Purdy and they raised several children. My father was John Clifton who married Ardis Marie Fernquist.
The parents of Thomas J. were Jacob Isaacs and Rebecca Bowman.
Jacob's parents were Godfrey Isaacs and Kiziah Johnson.
Godfrey's parents were Samuel Isaacs and Nancy Baldridge
Samuel's parents were Godfrey Isaacs and Sarah (possibly Ashby or Ashley)
Godfrey Isaacs parents were Samuel Isaacs/Isaacks Jr (died 1760) and his parents were Samuel Isaacs/Isaacks Sr. (died 1750). They lived in Frederick Co. Va in the 1740's. They were probably of Scotch/Irish/Welsh heritage. To date, first known records were in Frederick Co. VA. They sailed probably from Wales, not sure on port of entry.

Discerning typesetters have long relied on Tex and LaTeX for impeccable-looking documents. Now they have a front-end that works under Linux and BSD and brings control of the compilers and related utilities under the comprehensive graphical user interface. Authors and editors who use Kile can get increased productivity in the document creation business. This article will highlight some of Kile's key features which make it so attractive for newcomers to LaTeX.
Beginning at the beginning
Typesetting in LaTeX takes the user through several stages on the way to the ultimate document. First, the user prepares a LaTeX file or files using a text editor, checking syntax and the LaTeX commands and keywords. The next step is compiling the prepared LaTeX document, followed by reading of error messages and taking necessary actions on their correction, before compiling the document again. Once the error messages are gone, check the document visually and, if necessary, revise the input file again. For example, edit the file to chane settings for an image or table formatting, then compile the LaTeX file once more.
When, after several iterations, everything is finally arranged as desired, the document can be printed or stored into electronic formats including the "device-independent format" (DVI), Postscript, PDF or HTML. This is done with the traditional utilities, including dvi2ps, dvi2pdf, and latex2html.
LaTeX is a document preparation system based on the TeX typesetting language. TeX, LaTeX, and related tools are integrated into the teTeX distribution, maintained by Thomas Esser. But although the tools are easy to install and available on all the common Linux distributions, the process can appear discouraging to many new LaTeX users. Yet, the exceptional typographical quality of the created documents is well worth the effort. But that is not to say that the TeX and LaTeX community should be deprived of the benefits offered by the graphical working environments. Under Linux and BSD, a quest for increased productivity in typesetting with LaTeX has led to several popular programs that integrate the features of the compilers with numerous stand-alone utilities from the teTeX distribution.
Competition among LaTeX front ends, a Software Darwinism theory, could explain why Kile (KDE Integrated LaTeX Editor, latest stable version 1.9.3) is a number one choice for many existing users. It is fair to say that the term "LaTeX editor" does not do all the justice to Kile in view of its distinctive set of features. Instead, we could refer to it as a complex, yet easy to use, working environment that, among other things, centralizes access to LaTeX and related tools, including Postscript and PDF translators.
Kile is published under GPL, and source code can be downloaded from the Kile home page. Debian GNU/Linux users can, of course, most readily fetch Kile with:
sudo apt-get install kile
Kile is also packages for Ubuntu and for RPM-based distributions including OpenSUSE, Mandriva, and Fedora. Check your distribution's package manager, or search rpmfind.net.
Interface impressions
With the complete suite of teTeX applications already installed, KILE takes the user for a ride in the fastest lane immediately after the first run. With the exhibited level of integration, it is easy to forget that it is an external front-end to teTeX and not a native part. Of course, the largest portion of Kile's work space is occupied by the text editor where the input files are displayed. Below the text editor is the area reserved for the stream of information provided by various external applications, and there is also a shell console for the quick communication with the operating system.
Vertically aligned next to the text editing area are the icons that change contents of the multi-functional panel farther on the left side of the main Kile window. With the basic view on, the panel lists all open files constituting a current LaTeX project. When writing lengthy publications it is always better to split the text into several smaller chapter/section files which are easier to manipulate. At the same time, the text encoding of choice can be selected for the cases when the writing and displaying of texts in non-English languages is on the agenda.
Apart from the last one, all other views for this panel are related to the hundreds of supported mathematical symbols for which Kile will insert the right LaTeX reserved word into the editor. TeX and LaTeX are all about math, and a whole branch of the Kile's menu supports the mathematical environments and symbols defined by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). This should provide all the coverage that the majority of users may ever need when typesetting technical texts. In rare circumstances when that may not be the case, one can always consult Scott Pakin's work "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" with references to the corresponding LaTeX packages containing more than three thousand symbols.
The last icon with MP (Metapost) label presents another gem: a complete list of Metapost commands. According to the its creator John Hobby, Metapost is a language for creating technical figures based on professor Knuth's earlier Metafont. Metapost, as the name suggests, produces the output in Postscript and facilitates access to specialized features including the integration of graphics and text. Speaking of Postscript, a higher-level approach to its integration with LaTeX is undertaken with the most interesting package called PSTricks. PSTricks allows you to include code snippets for Postscript drawings directly into a document.

Alexander McQueen
The late British genius and award-winning designer Alexander McQueen was renowned for pushing the boundaries of fashion. Originally trained on Savile Row before working with the famous theatrical costumiers Angels and Bermans, it is no wonder he formed a signature style of mixing razor-sharp tailoring with melodramatic silhouettes and directional cuts. Today, Sarah Burton is at the helm; her guidance has brought a touch of contemporary elegance to the brand, particularly after designing HRH the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's wedding dress. However, while continuing to embrace Alexander McQueen's darkly romantic roots, every collection is equally breathtaking, showcasing covetable tailored separates, statement outerwear and ladylike party pieces alongside accessories that are adorned with the iconic skull motif.more

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs reach the midpoint of the Ivy
League season with visits from Harvard and Dartmouth this weekend.
The Crimson come to town on Friday, while Yale hosts Dartmouth on
Saturday on Youth Day. Tipoff at the John J. Lee Amphitheater is
slated for 7 p.m. both nights. The Bulldogs (9-14, 3-3 Ivy) are
coming off an important 79-64 victory over Columbia last Saturday.
Alex Zampier led Yale with 18 points, including the 1,000th of his
career. He is only the 23rd player in school history to reach the
1,000-point mark, and his accomplishment will be recognized prior
to the start of the Harvard game. Zampier, who is second in the Ivy
League in scoring (17.5 ppg.), also has 157 career steals, which
ties him with Daniel Okonkwo for the most in Yale history. The
Bulldogs dominated Columbia on the glass, outrebounding the Lions
46-27. Yale is 8-5 when it outrebounds its opponents this season,
but 0-8 when it gets outrebounded. Lee Amphitheater has earned a
reputation as one of the toughest buildings to win in the Ivy
League in recent years, but the Bulldogs are just 4-4 there this
season, including 1-2 in Ivy play. Yale is 78-43 (.645) at home in
James Jones' tenure as head coach.
There will be a number of special events at Lee Amphitheater this weekend. Friday's game with Harvard is Yale Employee Night. All Yale employees receive two complimentary tickets by showing their ID. Saturday's game with Dartmouth is Youth Day. All children 14-and-under are admitted free. There will be a post-game autograph session with the Yale players, along with face painting and prize drawings during the game. At both games, Yale Basketball Association members, season ticket holders and corporate sponsors are invited to join the Ivy Lounge, located on the concourse behind the skyboxes, opposite the main entrance. Enjoy pre-game appetizers, soft drinks, beer and wine beginning a half-hour before the game and continuing throughout the game. Fans can become a member of the Yale Basketball Association at either game. The Yale men's and women's basketball and gymnastics teams have joined forces to assist in this year's WBCA Pink Zone initiative. Fans at this weekend's games can help the cause by participating in raffles or bidding on the silent auction items. All the proceeds collected will be donated to the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Yale head coach James Jones has been quite successful against
Harvard and Dartmouth during his tenure. Jones is 16-4 against both
teams. The Bulldogs had swept the home weekend against the two
teams nine straight times before Harvard topped Yale 69-59 in the
season finale last year. The Bulldogs have 113 victories all-time
against the Crimson, their most against any opponent.
The Crimson (15-5, 4-2 Ivy) already has its most wins in a season since 1996-97. Harvard has victories over Boston College, George Washington and Santa Clara on its resume. Two of the Crimson's losses came against Georgetown and Connecticut. Jeremy Lin is fourth in the Ivy League in scoring (17.3 ppg.), second in assists (4.5 per game) and first in steals (2.9 per game). He is one of 11 finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, presented to the nation's top point guard. Kyle Casey was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after averaging 10 points and 7.5 rebounds against Princeton and Penn last weekend. It is the third time this season he has been honored.
The Big Green (4-16, 0-6 Ivy) play at Brown on Friday night. David Rufful and Ronnie Dixon (both at 8.1 ppg.) share the team lead in scoring. Dartmouth is third in the Ivy League in scoring defense (64.0 ppg.). Mark Graupe was named Dartmouth's interim head coach on Jan. 14 after Terry Dunn's resignation. Graupe joined the Big Green staff last summer after spending a year as an assistant coach at Colorado State.
Paul Nelson and Jordan Gibson were re-inserted into the starting lineup against Cornell and both had solid weekends. Nelson scored a career-high 13 points in the win over Columbia and grabbed eight rebounds, while Gibson contributed nine points, three rebounds and a steal.
- Yale's bench outscored its opponents bench 62-34 in the two games.
- The Bulldogs went to the free throw line 70 times in the two games. Yale was 22-of-32 against Cornell and 32-of-38 against Columbia.
- Greg Mangano recorded his third double-double of the season against the Lions, scoring 12 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.
- James Jones improved to 8-5 against his younger brother Joe, who is in his seventh season as the head coach at Columbia.
The Bulldogs were picked to finish fifth in the Ivy League preseason media poll, released on Oct. 28 during a media teleconference. Yale has finished higher than projected in three of the last four years. Two-time defending champion Cornell is the overwhelming favorite. The Big Red received all 16 first-place votes. Princeton is second followed by Penn and Harvard. Columbia (sixth), Brown and Dartmouth round out the poll. The Bulldogs, who finished in a tie for second place with Princeton last year, lose four starters but return Alex Zampier, an honorable mention All-Ivy selection. Zampier led the Ivy League in free throw percentage (.848) and was eighth in scoring (13.2 ppg.) and second in steals (1.6 per game). In addition, Yale welcomes back four other players who averaged at least 10 minutes per game.

The state of Connecticut has a rich basketball tradition. A new chapter in that history starts this season with the formation of the Connecticut 6, a partnership between six of Connecticut's Division I schools - Yale, Central Connecticut, Fairfield, Hartford, Quinnipiac and Sacred Heart. The inaugural Connecticut 6 Classic tripleheader was Nov. 13 at the Arena at Harbor Yard. The Classic moves to the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville in 2010. In addition to the tripleheader, a preseason All-Connecticut 6 team was selected and there will be a Connecticut 6 Player of the Week chosen each week during the season.
James Jones has made quite an impact on the Yale basketball program. In 10 seasons, Jones has guided Yale to success not seen in New Haven in 40 years. In 2001-02, Jones led the Bulldogs to their first Ivy League title since 1962-63 and the first postseason tournament victory in the 107-year history of Yale basketball. The team won 21 games, the second most in the modern era of Yale basketball, and reached the second round of the National Invitation Tournament. Jones, the longest tenured coach in the Ivy League, earned his 100th victory at Yale when the Bulldogs beat Columbia on Feb. 9, 2007. He is only the fourth coach in school history with at least 100 wins. The Bulldogs have won at least 10 Ivy games twice during his tenure and have had a .500 or better record in league play in each of the last nine years. Three assistant coaches who worked under Jones have gone on to become head coaches - Isaiah Cavaco (Oberlin), Mark Sembrowich (Academy of Arts University) and Mark Gilbride (Clarkson).Jones served as an assistant coach to Villanova's Jay Wright for the 2007 USA Basketball Men's Pan American Games Team.
Six Yale graduates, all coached by James Jones, are currently playing professional basketball. Edwin Draughan '05 (FOS Ouest, France), Dominick Martin '06 (Illescas CLM, Spain), Matt Kyle '08 (Tunisia), Eric Flato '08 (Plymouth Raiders, England) and Ross Morin '09 (SAM Massagno, Switzerland) are playing overseas, while Travis Pinick '09 was was selected in the eighth round of the 2009 NBA D-League Draft by the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
• The 2009-10 schedule features 31 regular season games, including 12 in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater. It will mark the most games Yale has played in a season since 2001-02 when the Bulldogs finished 21-11.
• The Bulldogs made their second appearance in the Preseason NIT. Yale fell to No. 1 ranked UConn in the tournament to open the 2003-04 season. The Bulldogs played four games in this year's tournament.
• The game with Quinnipiac on Nov. 21 capped a busy day on the Yale campus. The 126th edition of the Yale-Harvard football game was played at noon at Yale Bowl. Yale and Quinnipiac had met only once before, an 87-69 Bobcat win in 1999 in the Phoenix Classic at the Hartford Civic Center.
• Senior Alex Zampier had a homecoming when the Bulldogs visited Albany on Jan. 3. Zampier, an East Greenbush, N.Y., native, graduated as the second all-time leading scorer at Columbia High School with 1,381 points. Yale head coach James Jones is a 1996 Albany graduate. He played for and coached with the legendary Dr. Richard Sauers, one of only seven coaches to win more than 700 games.

Connecticut gets conditional early approval for exchange
Connecticut is one of six states to receive conditional early approval to set up a health insurance exchange through which residents can purchase health insurance as part of the Affordable Care Act.
The exchange, which will go live in October 2013, are a key part of providing health coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans by 2014.
Approval was given to states that have made significant progress in setting up their exchanges, according to a statement put out Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Connecticut has an 800-page plan for implementing the exchange, and had previously received $116 million in federal funds to design and build the exchange.
The state has been working on its exchange for nearly two years, and the early approval is a testament to effort that has gone into the project so far, said Jeannette DeJesus, special adviser to the governor on health reform and vice chairwoman of the state's exchange.
"We're really working a feverish pace to pull this thing together," DeJesus said.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy a letter last week informing him of the approval.
"Given all that is involved in launching a new program, I want to congratulate you on the progress the Connecticut Exchange has made in implementing a state-based exchange. We look forward to continued collaboration with you and the Connecticut exchange."
Other states to receive early approval include Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon and Washington.

Fleet Assembles on Eve of 2008 Melges 24 North American Championship
28 October 2008
On the eve of the International Melges 24 2008 North American Championship being hosted by the Eastport YC in Annapolis, Maryland this week, virtually all of the forty-nine competing teams are through finished registration and have successfully launched their boats. Today's practice race had to be abandoned when the forecast thirty knot plus winds arrived with a vengeance. Despite the ferocious conditions, some brave teams did venture afloat for brief but spectacular training sessions. Some fared better than others. Giovanni Maspero's Italian Team on ITA-550 Joe Fly, who grabbed an hour of practice this morning, afterwards recounted hair raising stories of downwind nosedives. Less fortunate were Bruce Ayres and his Newport Harbour, CA team aboard USA-747 Monsoon who sustained significant keel damage when they ran aground whilst travelling downwind at over fifteen knots.
The competitive nature of this championship is highlighted in the Corinthian division where identifying a likely winner at this stage is extremely tricky. Alex Shafer and his USA-744 Sweaty Betty crew will be hoping to reprise the form that saw them achieve an overall podium position at the 2008 Sperry Top-sider St. Pete NOOD regatta earlier this year. Another strong competitor for the Corinthian trophy will be local Eastport YC member Othmar von Blumencron on USA 679 Gannet. Othmar and his crew put in a legendary performance to win the Corinthian title at the 2007 Full Power Santa Cruz World Championships despite losing their rig on the final 'big day'. Also looking to capitalise on his specialist knowledge of the local conditions and deliver a good result will be fellow EYC member Bill Carleton on USA 568 Tiburon. Amongst the several other teams capable of taking a Corinthian scalp this week is John Hamilton's New York YC entry USA 658 Mustang who could easily upset the form book.
With the wind still screaming through the rigs here in Annapolis this evening the competitors are enjoying the Pusser's Rum Crew Party. The official start of racing is scheduled for 11.00 tomorrow morning when weather conditions are expected to be a little better than today. However it is more than likely that the wind strength is going to be in the upper ranges which should make for spectacular racing for the competitors and spectators alike.
The 2008 North American Championship is sponsored by Pusser's Rum, Pusser's Caribbean Grille, Coral Reef Sailing Apparel, Gill, Melges Performance Sailboats, North Sails, Velocitek, Annapolis Wireless Internet (AWI), Harken, Sail 22, Quantum Sails, Westin Annapolis, Atlantic Yacht Rigging and Stuart Simpson's Team Barbarians. The Melges 24 Class and the Eastport Yacht Club are extremely proud to be partnered with these outstanding companies and thank them for their generous support of the 2008 Melges 24 North American Championship.

Possible Corn Gluten Alert
For the full details, go to:
This has been a difficult decision as corn gluten contamination has not hit North America. But based on patterns of development and expansion of recall in the US, Itchmo is issuing a warning to pet parents out of abundance of caution.
We stress that NO US OR CANADIAN CONNECTION HAS BEEN REPORTED.
BREAKING NEWS: Melamine in Corn Gluten Linked to South African Pet Illnesses
April 19th, 2007
The 29 cases of renal failure in South Africa has been linked to melamine in corn gluten used in pet food. Corn gluten is used extensively in the US.
Tests have confirmed that Vets Choice and Royal Canin dog and cat dry pet-food products contained corn gluten contaminated with melamine, says the manufacturer.
The contaminated corn gluten was delivered to Royal Canin by a South African third-party supplier and appears to have originated from China.
We were tracking cases of the South African pet deaths before and have heard rumors of corn gluten contamination.
At this point, we believe that all corn gluten should be considered at risk for contamination and should be tested by every pet food manufacturer and the FDA.

Hi Guys,
Quick question about IDS event logging. If I see an "Attacker Address" of 0.0.0.0, is it safe to assume that the source was spoofed?
Also, if I see an "Attacker Address" of 22.214.171.124, for example, with a target address of 0.0.0.0, what target is the attacker going after?

1 onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup calamansi juice
1 large ripe mango, cut into strips
3 Thai bird chile, sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons coconut vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat oven to 350. Rip off a length of foil about twice the length of your fish. Place on a baking sheet, leaving just enough to cover the pan on the pan and the rest flopping off. Place rings of onion in a single layer on the foil, about the length of the fish. Place the fish, skin side down, on the onions. Layer the mango on top. Sprinkle evenly with chile pepper rings. Pour the juice and vinegar over top the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then drizzle with olive oil. Fold the foil over and crimp close on all sides. Bake for 20 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked.

Raptors continue to shuffle the deck off the court, but we wait and wonder what will happen as far as on the court matters go. Alvin Williams former Raptor and has worked with the organization in a number of roles off the floor was relieved of his scouting duties and is no longer a part of the organization. This move came straight from the top from Tim Leiweke according to an article by Doug Smith in The Toronto Star.
Alvin is no doubt one of the most beloved Raptors of all time and sure it does suck as Smith suggests in his article. I don't seem to be as outraged by this move as Smith seems to be. In that same article it suggests that the coaching staff could be getting a shake-up as well. I think this is long overdue in my opinion. If you want to give Dwane Casey another shot I am all for that. This does not mean I am in favour of giving the entire staff a free pass. In this blog I have suggested the idea of changes to the staff being something that could be done instead of just getting rid of Casey altogether. In my view first on the chopping block should be Jonny Davis who has been primarily responsible for the Raptors on the offensive side of the ball.
While all of these changes will have an impact the true changes that will have the most impact have yet to be seen. That is to this roster itself. As the NBA Finals will draw to a close either on Tuesday or Thursday this should get teams to be ready to make moves as the NBA Draft and Free Agency are both rapidly approaching.
While you may feel for Alvin Williams, Ed Stefanski or any of the assistant coaches that end up out on the street without a job it is the moves on the floor that most will be focused on. Front and center is what becomes of Andrea Bargnani, who was listed as part of the roster that will play for Italy this summer. What Bargnani does there however, may not have a barring on his future one way or the other. This is if the Raptors are committed to finding a deal or ultimately amnestying him. The deadline to do that would fall far before any game Bargnani would play for Italy.
The larger question is what Ujiri's ultimate plan is in terms of this roster. Is this a case of the demolition of it and starting yet another rebuilding project? If it is than safe to say no one on this roster would be safe in terms of trades or moves with perhaps the exception of Jonas Valanciunas. If not and the Raptors are looking to tweak the current roster and try to endure the next two years with contracts Colangelo has left them with it could be very difficult.
One way or the other the summer is fast approaching and Masai Ujiri will be on the hot seat as he stated in his opening remarks to the media in Toronto. It should be interesting to see what direction he goes. He stated in that same press conference that it would be fairly obvious to everyone. To this point the Raptors have just been doing some internal house cleaning.
For those who thought George Karl might have been a possibility to coach that became very clear as to why that will not happen last week. Karl in a story in the Denver Post seemed to suggest there was a divide between him and management last season. It seemed pretty clear that Karl was not exactly thrilled with how things went behind the scenes in Denver.

Looking for Signs of Past Water on Mars
The big science question for the Mars Exploration Rovers is how past water activity on Mars has influenced the red planet's environment over time. While there is no liquid water on the surface of Mars today, the record of past water activity on Mars can be found in the rocks, minerals, and geologic landforms, particularly in those that can only form in the presence of water. That's why the rovers are specially equipped with tools to study a diverse collection of rocks and soils that may hold clues to past water activity on Mars.
The rovers offer unique contributions in pursuit of the overall Mars science strategy to "Follow the Water." Understanding the history of water on Mars is important to meeting the four science goals of NASA's long-term Mars Exploration Program:
Learn about the rovers' unique contributions to these science goals through the pursuit of seven primary science objectives.
How scientists will rely on the rovers to look for signs of past water
Because scientists cannot go to Mars themselves at this point in time, they have to rely on robot geologists--the rovers--to look for signs of past water activity on Mars for them.
To do their job, the rovers carry a number of science instruments that will analyze rocks and soils on the Martian surface and perform other important tasks and studies.
Science results are being published in scientific journals.

Ryu points at himself, not injury, for rough start
LOS ANGELES -- Hyun-Jin Ryu's first taste of the postseason did not go at all how he would have liked, but the Dodgers rookie pitcher insisted that his subpar Game 3 performance in the National League Division Series was not the result of any type of injury.

LOS ANGELES -- Hyun-Jin Ryu's first taste of the postseason did not go at all how he would have liked, but the Dodgers rookie pitcher insisted that his subpar Game 3 performance in the National League Division Series was not the result of any type of injury.
View Full Game Coverage
There was some concern leading up to Ryu's outing Sunday night after the left-hander threw a bullpen session prior to Game 2 on Friday in Atlanta. Not only does Ryu typically not throw bullpens between starts, but this particular session came under the watchful eye of team surgeon Neal ElAttrache, director of medical services Stan Conte and manager Don Mattingly.
On Sunday, a sold-out crowd at Dodger Stadium watched Ryu allow four runs on six hits and one walk, while lasting only three innings in the Dodgers' 13-6 victory over the Braves. Still, Ryu claimed that he's 100 percent healthy and had no restrictions on the mound.
"There was absolutely no injury whatsoever; and of course, there was anxiety, and I was a little bit nervous taking the mound," Ryu said through his interpreter. "But I think in the earlier part of the game when I had the count going my way, I think I should have honed in and focused a little more. I think that's the mistakes that I made."
The first inning has hindered Ryu for much of the regular season, and Sunday night wasn't any different.
Ryu finished the regular season with a 5.10 ERA in the first inning of his 30 starts. By comparison, the only other frame in which he had an ERA even above 3.00 was the sixth (3.28).
Atlanta exploited his early-game troubles in Game 3, jumping on the southpaw for two runs on three hits and a walk in the opening frame. Ryu bounced back to retire the side in order in the second, and the Dodgers rallied in the bottom half of the inning to stake him to a 4-2 lead.
Ryu gave it all back in the top of the very next inning, conceding two runs on three hits again, while also making a pair of defensive miscues. With the bases load and nobody out, Ryu induced a potential double-play ground ball to first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Yet in attempting to cover first base on the relay, Ryu missed the bag with his foot.
One batter later, Braves third baseman Chris Johnson hit a tapper up the first-base line. Ryu charged off the mound to field the ball, but instead of taking the forceout at first base, he elected to throw the ball to home plate, where Freddie Freeman slid in safely well ahead of the throw to catcher A.J. Ellis.
"Both incidents in the top of the third were completely my fault. Me covering first base, I just rushed and I missed the bag," Ryu said. "The next play, throwing, I tossed it to home -- just a thoughtless mistake there. I'm going to make sure those things don't happen again."
Mattingly made the decision to end Ryu's night in the bottom of the third, calling on pinch-hitter Michael Young to hit in Ryu's place with two on and two outs. Sunday's poor outing aside, Mattingly said he would have no reserves about sending Ryu to the mound in his usual rotation spot if the Dodgers advance to the National League Championship Series.
"You know, if we can win -- put another win on the board, then he gets another opportunity," Mattingly said. "We don't turn our back on guys that have had great seasons for us after one game. So, yeah, he's part of what we do."
Despite his rookie classification, Sunday was far from the first time that Ryu had pitched on a big stage. A seven-time All-Star in the Korea Baseball Organization, Ryu was also the winning pitcher in Korea's gold medal-clinching game at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He also went 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA for the Korea team that finished in second place at the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
Mattingly had said leading up to Game 3 that he hoped Ryu would be able to draw on those big-game performances on Sunday night. Ryu, however, admitted after the Dodgers' victory that the postseason brought with it an entirely different atmosphere.
"I felt a little more anxious than compared to those games," Ryu said of the Olympics and World Baseball Classic outings. "Today was a little bit more intense. I just feel it's really unfortunate that in front of our fans, I wasn't able to perform at a better level. If I get a chance to play again here or pitch again here at Dodger Stadium, I'll be sure to perform better."
Whether or not Ryu throws another bullpen session between now and that potential start remains to be seen, but he was adamant following Game 3 that nothing should be made out of his last one. Ryu claimed that nothing held him back physically on Sunday night nor would it in any possible NLCS start.
"I was fully confident that my body was fine," Ryu said. "I know myself better than anyone else if I'm not hurt. Doesn't matter what people say. I'm not hurt, so it wasn't a distraction at all."

Never say ever....
What if someone created a bike show and didn't charge the exhibitors ? That's what these pictures show. New jersey transplant Anthony Mangieri , once a pizza superstar in Mahattan has recently put down roots in San Fransisco. As it turns out, it isn't all about pizza with Anthony......it is about bikes and riding as well. I was lucky enough to be participant in this party last Sunday put on by Anthony and Sean Walling of Soulcraft. Was it competition for the other hand-built shows ? No. Was it a society of like minded builders gathering to raise the bar of the craft ? no. It was pizza , bikes and people having a good time.
This brings me to the subject : What do we do this for ? Why are we involved in building bike frames, a pretty unlikely way to make a buck ? Is it for the presitge ? Is it to elevate ourselves in the social strata ? Hmmm.............shit, no. After this particular party my conclusion is that it is what we do and it is what brings us together as a community. No trophies, no societies , no presitge-just a good time and a way to work at something we like.
One of the things I don't really connect with is the idea of a 'guild' of frame builders. Sure, it is great to have standards and group buying of materials and meaningful exchange of info is a great thing , but there seems to be very little of that coming from the places that it should come from.....the internet chat forums. All I see are petty pissing matches for the most part and occasionally a real gem of info from someone-and it usually gets ignored or dismissed by some predatory internet moron on a campaign of wrongness. I find it really amusing when folks go out of their way to prove a point and they show in the process that they are totally full of shit.
Here is my point, for those who need a reference: I feel that there is no need to separate ourselves as frame builders into 'sub-groups' or guilds, or whatever. I like to feel that we are all in the same game at one level or another. We may disagree about certain fine points but at our core, we all build bike frames because we love it. It is for this reason that I have not entered into any of these sub-groups ,whether I was invited or not. Sure, you might say that this last party was all about Nor-Cal. frame builders. Of course it was-we all live here ! It isn't a sub-group , it is a geographic factor that brings us together. The same thing could be said about Portland or New England. It isn't that we think we are special.....it's that we know each other, live within a couple of hours drive from each other and that pretty much covers it. Oh yeah, we like pizza and having a good time with friends.
So.....I'm a Nor-Cal frame builder-so what ? Really, first and foremost I am a frame builder - one of many all over the world and I might have my feelings one way or another about my bretheren , but I do feel that there is no need to divide into 'cliques'. We are much stronger as a community at large and the sooner we all realize that the sooner we will be able to benefit from each others experience and wisdom.

Mexican Runways Come Alive with Indigenous Fashion
Mexican fashion models are harkening back to the country's sartorial past – wearing midriff-baring tunics and bright-colored silk tops with hieroglyphic symbols.
Growing numbers of Mexican designers are drawing inspiration from the pre-Columbian clothing widely worn during the country's bicentennial celebrations last year, and they're coming up with fashions that give tradition a contemporary twist.
Known as huipiles, the long and loose tunics designed with vivid patterns of birds, flowers and geometrical shapes had for centuries identified the origin and marital status of indigenous women in Mexico and Central America.
The huipiles (pronounced wee-PEE-lays) are now being produced with manufactured and non-native fabrics such as silk rather than the cotton and wool that generations of women had worn along with finely woven lace. The clothing has also picked up sex appeal with the cleavage-baring dresses and belly shirts seen in Mexico's trendiest fashion houses.
If anything, the new designs represent a revival for a clothing tradition that has recently fallen out of favor in poverty-stricken Mexican villages where generations of young people have both left behind their homes and their customs.
Designer Lydia Lavin said the resurgence began last year with the indigenous-inspired garments worn by politicians, artists and other public figures during Mexico's $40 million festivities.
"We began to see how people were reassessing Indian art," said another designer, Paulina Fosado. "Before, if you were to put something indigenous on, they would ask you 'Why would you wear that?' Now it's in style."
In their most recent show, Fosado and her twin sister Malinali Fosado unveiled a peach-colored cocktail dress with pink and orange floral embroidery, sleeves made of silk chiffon and a neckline plunging to just above the navel. Another model wore a puffy violet dress and a shawl with beaded fringe that had been sewn into the piece.
Some dresses dipped down to the small of the back, while other pieces were hand-woven with cotton and wool thread to form geometrical patterns of birds, leaves and flowers. Paulina Fosado said she and her sister balanced the use of heavy textiles with lighter, softer fabrics to create "dresses with a lot of movement."
The Fosados' goal is to turn the clothing into an internationally recognized symbol of Mexican identity, like what the kimono is to Japan or the sari is to India.
Ana Paula Fuentes, director of the Oaxaca Textile Museum, says many aspiring designers have stopped by her institution offering to work as volunteers to learn how to make the traditional clothing.
She said for centuries, the technique was passed down among indigenous women in southern Mexico and Central America, where since childhood they learned skills such as using the backstrap loom, in which weavers fasten panels to their waists and hand-spin naturally colored cotton threads between fibers.
Rural Mexico began to change in the 1950s, however, and agricultural production dropped in the fields at the same time that highways were built to connect once isolated towns to main cities.
Instead of producing the clothing for everyday use, artisans began to showcase their work at local fairs and sell them to tourists. Some stopped teaching their children how to make textiles, and many stopped wearing the traditional clothing to avoid being looked down upon after leaving their towns.
In many places, only one family or a person in a town remembers how to weave the huipil, Fuentes said.
"Many weavers never wanted to share this knowledge," she said. "They passed away taking it to the afterlife."
Now, the craft behind the clothing has become a precious commodity as contemporary designers liberally use the garments in their creations, often cutting the original pieces or sewing in silk to make the thick indigenous clothes more wearable and form-fitting.
"We can't design before having the textile," Fosado said. "We are the ones who adapt to them."
Fuentes says some designers shun altering the Indian clothes and argue that some of the designs should remain intellectual property of the towns they come from.
Ana Echeverri, popular culture expert at the National Council for Culture and Arts, said modern designs should still be woven with the backstrap technique.
"What we don't want is for this to become a cultural betrayal in attempting to innovate the design," she said. "It shouldn't be merely aesthetics. Designers should put everything in context."
In the hip neighborhood of La Condesa, designer Carmen Rion showcases blouses, dresses and shawls that are completely woven and left nearly unaltered. Rion said she never cuts the woven cotton fabric out of respect for the shape of the original Indian designs, which are crafted by 40 artisans from the southern state of Chiapas.
"I see it as the most important work there is to rescue in Mexico," she said.
Of contemporary designers, Rion said, "very few have a solid concept." Most are completely altering the textiles and cutting old pieces using imported fabrics, she said, and some are copying native designs from artisans and sending them to be produced in China.
Lavin, a 58-year-old designer based in Mexico City, said she deals with artisans from five different towns. In the 1980s, Lavin traveled throughout southern Mexico documenting and rescuing the textile tradition.
Some of the designs in her latest collection look as if Frida Kahlo, the famed surrealist painter, had stepped onto the runway, with models sporting white cotton lace tops and bright, indigenous-inspired jewelry with hair worn high.
In her latest collection, Lavin showcases purple and green dresses made mostly of silk but infused with pieces from traditional shawls and other textiles.
Lavin said her immersion in indigenous fashion took off during the bicentennial celebrations, when she was commissioned to design dresses for about a dozen wives of diplomats and incorporated traditional elements. Even after the fiesta, she said, the fashion movement is gaining more strength.
"Many of my clients are young people," she said. "I was surprised that many young people feel so connected to Mexico."
Marina Palacios, a 49-year-old weaver of San Pedro Ixcatlán, Oaxaca, recently traveled to Mexico City to catch the Fosado twins' fashion show as part of a conference teaching artisans how to better sell their artwork. While in the capital, she tried to sell some of the dresses she has been making since she was 10.
Palacios said she often spends a week on a dress she sells for $37. The Fosado dresses, on the other hand, range from $740 to $1,100.
"Sometimes it's not sold for its fair price," she said. "People don't want to do it anymore. It doesn't pay the bills."
Palacios' outlook brightened while watching the Fosado dresses on the runway. She and her weaving partner clapped and smiled as the designs passed before her.
"It's very pretty," she said. "If only it would give jobs to the Indians."

John McCain held a blogger conference call today, mostly to respond to John Fund's claim in the Wall Street Journal that he might not appoint a judge like Sam Alito who "wore his conservatism on his sleeve." (Which, by the way, I don't think Alito did.) McCain said that he doesn't recall making the statement attributed to him by Fund, and doesn't know its source. McCain emphasized that he supported Alito enthusiastically, spoke in his favor on the Senate floor, and voted for his confirmation. He has said repeatedly that if elected President, he would nominate Supreme Court justices in the mold of Roberts and Alito.
In response to a question, he said he could imagine a situation where a judge could "wear his politics too much on his sleeve," but said that for him, the key question is whether the nominee has a clear track record of strict construction.
Absent more information, I'm inclined to take McCain at his word, as he certainly supported Justice Alito's nomination and, like all or nearly all of the Republican candidates, has held up Roberts and Alito as model nominees.
For the rest of the call, the Senator was his usual charming self. He was asked about his battle with Mitt Romney; McCain noted the need to unify the party, but didn't back off any of his attacks on Romney. He portrayed Romney as the aggressor, having "spent millions," bought "robo-calls," and "thrown everything but the kitchen sink" at McCain. So McCain sees no alternative but to "respond." He ticked off a litany of negative statistics about Romney's performance as governor of Massachusetts and said that (unlike Mitt's) his charges are "accurate."
Frankly, I'm not sure where the animus between the McCain and Romney camps comes from. It's obvious that the ill will is real. In an interesting contrast, one of the participants on the call asked about McCain's falling out with Pat Buchanan, with whom he was formerly friendly but who is now criticizing him. McCain responded graciously, saying that he has always liked Buchanan, that Buchanan is one of the smartest political minds around, that they have had their differences over time, but the differences don't diminish his respect for Buchanan. Somehow, I don't think we'll ever hear McCain talking that way about Romney.
McCain also clarified his position on the Swift Boat Vets' 2004 ads. I've often seen McCain quoted as a critic of the Vets, but he was quick to say that he was only critical of the ad that questioned Kerry's combat record. McCain said he thought that was out of bounds. On the other hand, when the Vets went after Kerry's activities with Vietnam Veterans Against the War, his testimony before the Foreign Relations Committee, his charges of atrocities and his antiwar activities generally, that was "legitimate" and "fair game."
On the topics that are close to his heart, national security and spending, McCain was impassioned as usual. He was gleeful over the President's impending crackdown on earmarks and predicted that the appropriators will react like "scalded apes."
The call was another reminder that John McCain at his best is very good indeed.
PAUL adds: McCain's portrayal of himself as the victim of attacks by Romney rings a bit hollow in light of his unfounded claim that Romney advocated setting a date for withdrawing from Iraq. As far as I've been able to determine, no one on today's call asked McCain to defend his statement on this matter. No wonder McCain likes blogger calls.

Emma Watson: Kristen Stewart Defender!
Emma Watson keeps it fashionable while heading out for lunch at a local restaurant on Tuesday (February 12) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 22-year-old British actress recently defended her gal pal Kristen Stewart in a new interview for Vanity Fair Italia.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Emma Watson
"Those who criticized her are the same people that think that being rich and famous is like being covered in some kind of magic powder that makes life perfect: Nothing can go wrong in your wonderful world," Emma explained. "For these people, Kristen deserves all the bad things that have been thrown at her because she had an amazing life and she ruined it."
Emma added, "I don't know how to explain it, but it sure isn't perfect. I thought that the media picked on her in a very horrible way. Kristen is human, just like everybody else, and she's so young. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone. It's not fair to consider them matters of public interest."

MEDFORD, Mass. – In one of their toughest tests of the season the Beacons faced two of the top teams in the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) in Connecticut College and Tufts University Saturday afternoon at Tufts University.
The Beacons would defeat Connecticut College in a rematch of last year's NCAA New England Regional semi-final by the final of 3-1, before falling to the host Jumbos of Tufts University by the final of 3-1. With the split the Beacons record stands at 8-8 on the year, while Connecticut College fell to 6-6 and Tufts University improved to 11-4.
MATCH ONE – UMass Boston 3, Connecticut College 1
In Saturday's opener the Beacons offense was red hot as junior Kirsten Morrison (North Reading, Mass.) and freshman Julia Murphy (Canton, Mass.) dominated the kill's category combining for 20 respectively, while also hitting over .375. Senior Amber Clemons (Simi Valley, Calif.) was also a driving force for UMB scoring a team-high 12 kills, while also finishing with a .333 hitting percentage. Morrison led all players with a season-high .455 hitting percentage after scoring 10 kills on 22 attempts.
Setters Emma Rocha (Boynton Beach, Fla.) totaled 27 assists, while Megan Pollock (Wilton, Calif.) finished with 16 assists. The duo also finished with five of the Beacons 12 aces respectively. Just like the offense, the Beacons defense was just as impressive with Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) leading the team in digs with 18. At the net three Beacons finished with two block assists, while Murphy recorded the teams lone solo block. Patsy Boland (Chicago, Ill.) and Clemons both finished with 10 or more digs, which gave Clemons her first double-double of the year as well.
The Beacons would take a 25-23 victory from the Camels in game one before dropping game two by the final of 25-22. Game three and four were won in convincing fashion as UMB defeated Connecticut 25-19 and 25-16.
MATCH TWO – UMass Boston 1, Tufts University 3
In what has become one of the biggest rivalries in New England volleyball the Beacons looked to upset the host Jumbos on their home floor in the final match of the tri-match. After a solid first game that saw UMB take a 25-18 win, Tufts would respond with three straight wins first taking a 25-18 win in game two before completely dominating the Beacons in the final two games by the finals of 25-7, 25-7.
Unlike the first match, the Beacons failed to build any momentum on both sides of the ball. After the strong game one win, UMass Boston fell apart at the seams allowing the Jumbos to take total control of the match.
Murphy was once again the Beacons top kills earner scoring seven in the loss, but this time only hitting .222. Morrison finished second on the team alongside Clemons and Bri Sousa (Swansea, Mass.) with six kills each, but were unable to hit better than .077.
Pollock and Rocha each tallied 13 assists, with Rocha tallying one of the Beacons three aces. Defensively it was Glavan with a team-high 14 digs, while at the net Murphy combined for five block assists, followed by Boland's four.
Volleyball returns to action on Thursday when they host Wellesley College at 7 p.m. in another huge in-region match.

A mini gallery wall that I made for a recent project spurred lots of comments and emails.
You all know that I love a good DIY project and I always love sharing my experience so here goes!
The lovely ladies that reside in this Chelsea apt have a very narrow and very long hallway! Filling it with a massive gallery wall, would have been very expensive and I didn't have it in the budget.
After: Close up shot
So what's a girl to do? Well this lady went searching in the basement for discarded items that never got just used with old projects and found a cool mirror made out of recycled magazines!
Now since the walls are so massive I needed some additional pieces to add to the wall. After a quick trip to the Dollar Tree I came home with these frames with actual glass not plastic!!!
Next was a trip to JoAnn's to pick up some fabric and mats with a 5 x 7 opening. You will also need spray adhesive and a fabric rotary cutter. I already had those items at home.
Now to get a more custom and add some glam to my dollar store frames I used the fabric to wrap around the mats. It's super simple and really adds something special to the picture.
First step is to cut a piece a piece of fabric that extends about half an inch past the mat so that you have fabric to fold over. I used tacky spray, which requires you to spray the piece first and let it sit for a couple of seconds before adhering fabric.
Then you can start folding the fabric along the edges and adhering it to the mats.
Make sure you fold a nice corner!
Once that is complete the next step is to work on the inside of the mat. Again make sure you leave a bit of extra fabric so that you something to fold over the mat.
This is what it will look like after you cut all sides:
Now you need to make an additional cut to ensure that the corners will fold properly.
* Try and get as close to the mat as you can without cutting into the mat!
Once that is done you are able to start attaching the fabric to the mat. Because you spray the majority of the mat in the first step it will mostly likely just stick right away! If it doesn't then simply spray adhesive again and let it sit for a couple of seconds before applying fabric.
Here is the mat all complete:
Here is a close up of the frame with a picture:
Since the mirror had many different colors I decided to go more neutral with the pictures and get them printed in black and white. They add a whole other dimension to the frame and my clients loved it!
I know a lot of designers/decorators don't like putting personal pictures in a space, but this is a clients home and not a designer showcase so I think personal photos in small doses are a nice touch to a room!
This DIY project can be done with any size mat and your choice of fabric! If you have a designer fabric you love, but don't have the money to use it for window treatments or upholstery then using them for a mat would still incorporate the fabric you like into the room on a budget!
You can use personal photos or if you are on budget go onto Vintage Printable and print out some artwork for free! The possibilities are endless!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Nichols College built a 4-0 lead and never looked back as it went on to record a 7-2 victory over host MIT in the season-opening game for both men's lacrosse teams on Wednesday night. Ryan Pacific paced the Bison with four points on a goal and three assists while John Kucharczyk was credited with both of the Engineers' goals.
Tim Ahern opened the scoring almost four minutes into the contest when he connected on a feed from Macaulay Gillis. Pacific quickly followed with a solo effort of his own, establishing an edge that would hold for the remainder of the quarter.
Brian Gattie was a factor in both of Nichols' goals in the second stanza. He redirected a pass from Pacific before setting up Steve Delahanty midway through the period. MIT got on the board courtesy of Kucharczyk's unassisted goal with 1:11 remaining in the half.
The Cardinal and Gray carried the momentum into the third frame as Dan Piemont set up Kucharczyk for a man-up goal, narrowing the gap to 4-2 at the 11:35 mark. The game became a defensive battle despite four extra-man opportunities for MIT and two for Nichols.
The two-goal differential was as close as it would get for the Engineers as the Bison ended its 24-minute scoring drought with three unanswered goals in the final frame. Austin Healy started the spurt by scoring on a pass from Pacific while Marc Miller earned an assist on Gattie's strike with seven minutes left to play. Exactly 58 seconds later, the Healy-Pacific tandem registered the final marker of the night.
Elliot Sykora, Justin Myers, and John Walton each picked up three groundballs for MIT while Sykora won all four of his face-offs. Eric Zuk bolstered the defense with two caused turnovers as Christopher Rullan collected eight saves.
Gattie finished with two goals and an assist as Patrick Mayo posted five groundballs and two caused turnovers. Tim Dooley added three groundballs while Scott Gray turned away 15 shots in net.
Both squads will be on the road for their next contests. MIT will travel to Salve Regina University on Saturday, March 12 while Nichols will visit Salem State University on Thursday, March 17.

Success! Singing YouTube Fan Scores Date With Jason Segel [VIDEO]
Sometimes, getting a date with a celebrity is as simple as asking them out on YouTube.
Last week Chicago resident Chelsea Gill uploaded a video of her singing a song requesting that 'The Muppets' star Jason Segel take her out for a drink.
Segel saw the video, was charmed by Gill's deft rhyming, and happened to be going to Chicago over the weekend for the Chicago Film Critic Awards.
So he contacted the 23-year old and asked if she and a guest would like to accompany him to the awards show -- after getting that drink, of course.
Gill brought her look-a-like twin sister along. After all the identity confusion was cleared up, the trio had, by all acounts, a terrific evening
He's so down to earth, he was so funny -- he's absolutely everything he appears to be in interviews," Gill said of Segel afterward.
You can watch Gill's original video (featuring some NSFW language) below.
