Harman Professional today announced the promotion of Scott Robbins from Senior Vice President of Sales, Crown Audio to group-wide Vice President of Sales with the specific mandate to work with brand-level sales executives to strengthen existing sales operations and to grow Harman Professional's sales presence in emerging markets. Today's announcement was made by Michael MacDonald, Harman Professional Executive Vice President of Marketing & Sales, to whom Robbins reports.
"Scott Robbins is a tremendous asset to Harman Professional and a resource to our distribution partners and customers alike," MacDonald said today. "In his new position, his experience, energy and intelligence will benefit all of our brands and not just Crown Audio whom he has served so well and grown so effectively. I look forward to working with Scott to grow the Harman business in emerging international markets and, in doing so, to raise the threshold of expectation for performance, integration, quality and value in those markets where we have yet to gain a significant foothold."
Commenting on his appointment, Robbins said today, "Harman Professional has operated very successfully as a constellation of independent, category-leading brands but we have systematically capitalized on the group concept by sharing manufacturing resources, R&D, marketing, accounting and market intelligence. Now, as we take a more systems-approach to sales operations, I am very pleased and honored to lead this initiative. Working with Michael MacDonald, the new regional sales offices and the sales teams at our brands, my goal is to make it easier for our distribution partners and customers around the world to do business with Harman Professional."
Scott Robbins holds a bachelors degree in Organizational Management and joined Crown Audio's service department in 1987. He was progressively promoted to more senior sales positions within the company. During this time, he helped grow the sales in all geographic and vertical markets and was responsible for organizing and managing sales partners across the globe.
"Scott's career success at Crown Audio and now at Harman Professional is testament to his personality, drive and acumen," noted Mark Graham, President, Crown Audio. "But equally it's an affirmation of Crown Audio's culture of promoting talented and hard working members of our team. We congratulate Scott on his new position at Harman Professional and look forward to working with him in this new capacity at the group level."
An early initiative that Robbins will spearhead will be the successful start-up of Harman Professional's new sales offices in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Harman International Industries, Incorporated (www.harman.com), designs, manufactures and markets a wide range of audio and infotainment products for the automotive, consumer and professional markets.

|November 2014
|Actual Study Completion Date :
|November 2014
Experimental: Canakinumab
Canakinumab s.c. injection (2 mg/kg) was administered every 8 weeks.
Drug: ACZ885
- Percentage of Participants Aged 4 Years or Younger With at Least One Complete Response at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Week 56 ]Complete response was defined as clinical remission and serological remission. Clinical remission was defined as Physician global assessment of auto-inflammatory disease activity as absent or minimal (using a 5-point scale ranging from absent to severe) and assessment of skin disease as absent or minimal (using a 5-point scale ranging from absent to severe). Serological remission was defined as C reactive protein (CRP) or Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) to be less than (<) 15 milligram per liter (mg/L) and <10 mg/L respectively.
- Percentage of Participants Aged 2 Years or Younger With at Least One Complete Response at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Week 56 ]Complete response was defined as clinical remission and serological remission. Clinical remission was defined as Physician global assessment of auto-inflammatory disease activity as absent or minimal (using a 5-point scale ranging from absent to severe) and assessment of skin disease as absent or minimal (using a 5-point scale ranging from absent to severe). Serological remission was defined as CRP or SAA to be <15 mg/L and <10 mg/L respectively.
- Percentage of Participants With Defined Grades in Physician's Global Assessment Score at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Week 56 ]Participants were assessed based by physician on Physician's Global Assessment measured on a 5--point scale for auto inflammatory disease activity as: 0 = None/absent; 1 = Minimal; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe.
- Percentage of Participants With Defined Grades in Physician Assessment of Skin Disease at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Week 56 ]Participants were assessed by physician for skin disease (urticarial skin rash) measured on a 5--point scale as: 0 = None/absent; 1 = Minimal; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe.
- Change From Baseline in C--Reactive Protein (CRP) and Serum Amyloid A (SAA) Concentrations at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 56 ]The CRP and SAA were used as inflammatory markers. The target level concentrations for CRP and SAA was ≤15 mg/L and ≤10 mg/L, respectively. Negative change in concentration of inflammatory markers indicated improvement.
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 (start of study treatment) up to Week 56 (end of study) ]Adverse events (AEs) were defined as any unfavorable and unintended diagnosis, symptom, sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), syndrome or disease which either occurs during study, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to worsen. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were defined as any untoward medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require (or prolong) hospitalization, cause persistent or significant disability/incapacity, result in congenital anomalies or birth defects, or are other conditions which in judgement of investigators represent significant hazards.
- Percentage of Participants Receiving a Concomitant Vaccination During the Study [ Time Frame: Day 1 (start of study treatment) to Week 56 (end of study) ]Participants received any one of the following inactivated vaccines as per the immunization program: Corynebacterium diphtheria, Bordetella pertussis, Neisseria meningitidis, Clostridium tetani, Influenza type A, Influenza type B, Haemophilus influenza B, Streptococcus pneumoniae, or Hepatitis B were determined.
- Number of Vaccination Cases With Protective Antibody Levels Following Immunization With Inactivated Vaccines [ Time Frame: Day -14 (prior-vaccination), Day 0 (vaccination), Day 28, Day 57 (post-vaccination) ]Participants who received any inactivated vaccines during the study were assessed for their ability to attain protective antibody levels against the vaccine (antigen) post immunization. Participants vaccinations were not assessed for a response if the antibody titre was already sufficient at pre-dose and maintained during the study.
- Number of Participants With Anti-canakinumab Antibodies at Week 56 [ Time Frame: Week 56 (End of study) ]Immunogenicity assessment included determination of anti-canakinumab (ACZ885) antibodies in serum samples using BIAcore system, with detection based on surface plasmon resonance technique.

Fable: The Journey, Xbox 360 (Kinect)
Starting with an admonishment to, "Sit up straight up – and don't cross your legs", you might think you'd stumbled into a Swiss finishing school.
But this is merely the latest game to shoehorn Microsoft's Kinect peripheral into its interactions. Part of the Fable franchise, it sensibly sticks to simple arm movements to steer your horse and open chests in this on-rails tour of Albion. Aiming spells fares less well, the faintest hint of action leaving Kinect baffled, so it's a shadow of past Fables, but possibly the least dreadful Kinect game.
Microsoft, £34.99
XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Xbox 360, PC & PS3
As usual, aliens are invading. Only this time, you have to co-ordinate the entire international effort to thwart them, from managing each nation's panic levels and budget, to building a HQ replete with laboratories and interceptors ready to shoot down UFOs and ferry in squads of customisable soldiers to mop up the unfortunate survivors. This last phase provides the game's focus, taking place in demanding, tactical turn-based encounters, impressive in their depth, variety and scope. It eventually starts to feel repetitive, and suffers from some sizable technical glitches, but XCOM is still a complex, tense and absorbing piece of strategic ET-singeing.
2K Games, £29.99-£39.99
Pokémon Black And White 2, Nintendo DS & 3DS
Whether you end up with Pokémon Black 2 or its identical sibling with different monsters, White, you'll be capturing and coaching Pokémon, battling rival trainers and trying to defeat naughty Team Plasma. It's easier than Pokémon Black/White, has few new monsters and a simpler plot, giving it a whiff of potboiler. There are extras, like the PokéStar studios mini-game and medals to be won at tournaments, and it's still a massive game, whose mechanics are as ludicrously addictive as ever – just one that may not be quite as appealing to more seasoned Pokémon trainers.
Nintendo, £29.99
Games news
Electronic Arts' longstanding tradition of releasing annual updates of its franchises is coming under renewed scrutiny by gamers since it emerged that FIFA 13 for Wii is not an update at all, but FIFA 12 with a new soundtrack, while the Vita version is in reality FIFA Football, which launched with the console in February. A spokesman for EA confirmed the games had "no new modes or features" …
World Rally Championship 3 (Xbox, PS3, PC, Vita) is out this week for admirers of very slightly low budget point-to-point racing and muddy cars, along with Madagascar 3: The Video Game (Xbox, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS) managing to match the film's stodgy mundanity with a set of forgettable mini-games; Spy Hunter (3DS, Vita), the 80s arcade near-classic remade in shiny 3D with bigger explosions and Harry Potter Kinect (Xbox) serving up a fresh, portion of disappointment for Kinect owners.

Solheim Cup has its share of traveling golf fans in Ireland
Tom Ferrell is editor-at-large for Colorado AvidGolfer magazine and is director of communications at Colorado Golf Club, host of The 2013 Solheim Cup. He reported for The Denver Post from Ireland over the weekend for the 2011 Solheim Cup. Follow his reports here.
COUNTY MEATH, Ireland – When the 2013 Solheim Cup tees up in August 2013 at Colorado Golf Club, fans will see the royal and ancient game in a new light. You see, The Solheim Cup is becoming the Grateful Dead of golf. Fans don't just wait for the show to come to them. They go to the show. And then they keep going.
"We have fans who have been to all 12," says Becky Newell, director of sales and marketing for The 2013 Solheim Cup, "but we have tons of fans who have been to three or four or more. It's such a great experience. People just love it."
Even as the singing and chanting builds in the stands surrounding the first tee here at Killeen Castle, a steady flow of fans is streaming through the expo booth for the 2013 event, asking questions about Colorado and picking up tourism information for Denver. Some are even pulling the trigger and buying tickets on the spot.
Organizers of The 2011 Solheim Cup estimate that 7,000 fans have come to Ireland for this year's competition. Solheim 2013 tournament director Doug Eibling says the economic impact to Colorado could top $20 million.

Grasses are the ultimate architectural plant, adding see-through effects, gentle rustling, autumn colour and winter shapes. They also tolerate a range of conditions, from gravel gardens to solid lumpy clay. Grasses can be used in borders as individual eye-catchers, large or small, or repeated in drifts to create a natural look, with paths ambling through and between. Some can even be grown in containers, to help soften formal designs.
Most grasses are easy to grow and once established require little maintenance. For most, the main requirement is full sun; most tolerate a wide range of soils. Grasses are rarely affected by pests or diseases.
The more nitrogen grasses receive the greener and further they'll grow. This spreading habit is fine in a field, but in a garden they can become too lush and the flower quality may suffer. Feed them in spring like ordinary perennials, with a single dressing of a general fertiliser. Even without an annual feed, most grasses will put on a first-rate show.
Ornamental grasses fall into two groups: evergreen and herbaceous. Herbaceous grasses need cutting back annually so that they will look their best. Generally herbaceous grasses should be trimmed to ground level before growth starts in early spring. Evergreens pretty well just require a tidy-up in spring, removing untidy growth.
Ornamental grasses form clumps of relatively long, finely textured leaves. Grasses are very hardy and wonderfully versatile, creating an accent point near water features or around patios, edging around walkways or just as an interesting, low maintenance ground cover.


text: Most guests are aware that we are a family-owned and operated inn, but some may not know the individuals involved. Besides the owners Robert and Nancy, there is Laurie, the assistant innkeeper who is Robert's niece. Laurie works Monday – Friday setting up and serving breakfast, checking guests in and out and providing lots of advice on things to do in the area. While she is not often at the Inn, Robert's mother, Mary, plays an important role—she bakes those fabulous pies that we serve for dessert (if you have had her Coconut Cream Pie, you know what I'm talking about). Then there is our extended family. Although they are not actually related, we have been together for so long that we indeed consider them family. Andrea serves dinner, makes drinks and pretty much runs the dining room. She has been at the Inn since 2001. Pam, our head housekeeper also been with us since 2001 and is the person most responsible for all the compliments we get on cleanliness. Finally, there is the other Robert, who goes by Rob and has been with us since 2004, first as sous chef and now as Chef for the past three years. He makes the Pot Roast and other dishes which keep our guests happy and coming back for more. Each and everyone of them is extremely important to us and the well-being of the Inn, we couldn't do without them.

hum, simpleyesa, I've noticed you have a trend to start simple question threads like this without first sharing yourself! You want, but do you give!
Glad you finally noticed that. LOL. I'm fond of stalking other people's classified infos (LOL), I'm a terrorist's wife (kid, kid), I'm a killer (and already killed a dozen. haha).
Kidding aside, I love music and fashion; I design and reinventing clothes. I love collecting 'pirated' DVDs (hehe), I love cooking (wish I can bake.), I'm a blogger (though only my friends replies on my blog), I'm a pet lover (obviously; and we're breeding dogs), I'm dying to master my guitar lessons (so that I can proceed to drums; oh well, lessons for free.), I love taking pictures of myself (damn narcissistic). So far, those are the things that interest me.
EDIT: i love math; all about calculations.
I like cars and blowing stuff up. And baking is easy it's just measuring stuff.
Geek interests - Anime, Video Games, Japanese pop culture, D&D, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, the usual roundup (no need to go in depth with the crowd here), though I would like to highlight "vintage gaming" – since I couldn't play console games growing up, I've been making up for lost time by collecting old games and game systems.
Technology - Well, I am an engineering technology major so I suppose this is technically an interest though I'm not terribly passionate about it. It is cool getting to learn how things work and I am anxiously looking forward to being able to build things of my own design. One day, you'll turn on the news to see me rampaging the countryside in a Mecha I made in my backyard…
Non-Geek interests -
Travel is undoubtedly my greatest love and I relish the chance to go anywhere, particularly somewhere new. I've been to about a dozen countries and 40 states. The next trips I'm planning are a 99.99% for sure trip to China (internship) and eventually a trip to Paris (with a possible detour to see some wine country) which is still in the the very rough planning stages. It's going to depend if I can milk an extended Tokyo layover out of my China trip or not.
Alcohol - I used to work in a fairly nice liquor store (not obscenely upscale, but we did do wine tastings and such), so I've come to have an appreciation for quality alcohol, particularly single malt scotch, wine, and craft beer (microbrews and imports). I've actually got a nice little wine collection going, but most of it's too nice for me (like $30-50 bottles) to rationalize opening casually so I still buy most of my wine spontaneously.
The Arts - Such as art, literature, music (as in classical), poetry, etc.. I'm not as into those things as I should be, but I've been getting progressively more into them over the years. Any time I have a chance to attend a concert, play or art exhibit that interests me I'll do my best to go. I've been building a fairly decent library over the years, but I've got a ways to go. One of my highlights from my trip to Europe was my visit to the Alte Pinakotek in Munich.
History - I've always been fascinated by history. I've recently become a wikipedia junkie, soaking up tons of "5 minute histories" as I like to call them. I also enjoy visiting historical sites whenever I can while traveling.
Old Interests – These are things I used to be passionate about, but now I either despise or more likely just don't care about anymore.
Metal – I used to be a huge metal head, particularly Black Metal though I listened to most anything underground. I have a huge Metal library (on original CDs) I accumulated back before you could download anything you wanted easily online. I can probably count the Metal CDs I've bought in the last 4 years on one hand. Last concert I went to was Slayer back in 2003. I have a ton of my old metal "gear" in storage now (like shirts, black cargo pants, my old trench coat, etc.). I was also somewhat involved in the goth thing. Though I don't think I'd ever have called myself a goth, I was certainly familiar with and around the culture.
Neo-Paganism – Back when I was younger and stupid, I was into the whole neo-pagan thing. As far as I'm concerned, it's just one huge glorified LARP for trailer trash and rebelling suburban teens. But I'm absurdly knowledgeable about it, as well as world religions in general.
Star Wars/Star Trek - I was a big trekkie back when I was very young (I remember being horribly depressed when the canceled TNG back in '94), and I ended up switching over fully to Star Wars. I was obsessed with Star Wars. I played games like X-Wing, Tie Fighter and Dark Forces, collected old merchandise (especially the toys), and read the books. I kind of got out of it sometime my sophomore year in high school, but I still considered myself a fan. Then Lucas had to piss all over everything by making new movies that sucked and I haven't been into it all since. One of these days, I actually plan on doing a fanfic version of what episode I-III should have been.

GoDaddy Takes Down Entire Site Of Copyright Attorney/Photographer Over Bogus DMCA Claim
from the life-under-SOPA dept
That said, get ready for this kind of story becoming a lot more common if SOPA or PROTECT IP becomes law. Totally bogus takedowns happen all the time under the DMCA but are usually (though not in this case, apparently) limited specifically to the infringing content. Under SOPA you'll see a lot more drastic action, cutting off sites from ad revenue or payment processing -- with no requirement to turn them back on, even if a counternotice is filed. This is exactly why a private "notice" provision in SOPA is so scary.

Fifty years ago this July 17, evolutionary history was rewritten in Tanzania, the largest country in East Africa.
British archeologists Drs. Louis and Mary Leakey, working on bone and fossil analysis in Oldupai Gorge in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (now a UNESCO Heritage Site) discovered a skull that would change all prior scientific hypotheses.
Their exciting discovery was a humanoid skull with huge teeth that they named Zinjanthropus or "Zinj." The excellent condition of the skull allowed scientists to date the beginnings of mankind to about two million years ago, and to verify that human evolution began not in Asia, as previously thought, but in Africa. In keeping with the significance of this information, Oldupai Gorge is now known as "The Cradle of Mankind."
"Zinj", whose name was later changed to Australopithecus Boise, after Charles Boise who funded the Leakeys' research, is not a direct human ancestor, but is the first specimen of this species ever found, and at the time of his discovery, the oldest hominid. Two decades later, footprints found at Laetoli, south of Oldupai, were interpreted as those of hominids even older: 3.5 to 4 million years old.
To celebrate this historical discovery, the Leakey's organized a family reunion in Tanzania on July 17, 2009. To round of the special day, Philip Leakey, son of Louis and Mary and a former member of Parliament and cabinet minister in Kenya, and his wife Katy, marketing Kenyan jewels and "anthropological travel", came afterwards for dinner and overnight at Onsea House in Arusha.
This year, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism through the Department of Antiquities and the National Museum of Tanzania will mark this historic find with the International Conference on Zinjanthropus in Arusha, Tanzania from August 16-22, 2009. The conference will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the discovery as well as explore new information on human origins, conservation and other allied studies. A special workshop on Louis and Mary Leakey has been organized by the East African Association for Paleoanthropology and Paleontology.

5 Souvenir Ideas for Food-Lovers and their Kitchens
Some of the greatest souvenirs we've received are food- or kitchen- related gifts from places we've never been. We try to return the favor when thinking of tokens to bring friends and family from our own trips. A few ideas follow:
1 of 5
2 of 5
3 of 5
4 of 5
5 of 5
- As suggested in this Kitchn post from last year, Vacation Souvenirs: Look For Local Cookware!, bring home cookware that's particular to the place you've been visiting.
- Spices can make an affordable and easy-to-carry souvenir for friends to recreate local flavors from your journeys.
- Seek out table linens in regional styles and materials, like these from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue.
- Look for packaged foods and candies that you just can't find at home.
- Keep a diligent travel journal. Simply recording your favorite places to eat or grab a local snack can be of great use when giving travel recommendations to friends and family in the future.
What food- or kitchen- related travel gifts have been well-received from your travels? Let's hear about your suggestions in the comments below.

Saudi Arabia: Kingdom appoints first female deputy minister
Al-Fayez began her career as a schoolteacher in 1982 working her way up to become in 2001 the director general of the women's section at the Institute of Public Administration. Her long experience in the educational sector and her husband's encouragement and support paved the way for her to reach this position.
Many Saudis welcomed the new deputy minister expressing hope in her appointment. A woman educator working in a supervisory position said this was a wise decision to serve and develop the Kingdom's educational sector.
"This is a successful step. We've always suffered from having a man occupy the position. A woman knows what problems and challenges her peers face. It's a change for the better," said the educator.
Ali Al-Twati, a Saudi academic and writer, said having a woman occupy the position of deputy minister is a must. "It is compulsory, not optional, to have women occupy leadership positions. Since the number of schools in Saudi Arabia exceeds 10,000, girls need a reference in the ministry to listen to their issues and understand them," said Al-Twati.
He also said that segregation makes it easier for women in the Kingdom to reach high leadership positions. There are more women in key positions in the country than in developed countries, he added.
Haifa Jamal Al-Lail, dean of Effat College, expressed her delight, adding that the appointment serves as an impetus for women to get into leading positions to contribute to the development of Saudi society.
"This is not just about having the first woman deputy minister. It's about having more women in important positions. Al-Fayez's presence in the Ministry of Education will make women's voices heard," said Al-Lail.
Asma Siddiki, associate dean for development at the Dubai School of Government, congratulated Al-Fayez, describing her appointment as a milestone for women in Saudi Arabia.
"Our government is to be commended for recognizing women's achievements. Given the remarkable progress women are making in the Kingdom, and the investment the government is making in education, I don't doubt there'll be many such senior appointments in the future," said Siddiki.

Was watching a little bit of the college football awards show on ESPN and Mr. Largent handed out the Fred Bilenikoff award to the best wide receiver (Marqise Lee).
It was pretty cool seeing him up on the stage. He still looks good. Matt Hasselbeck has surpassed him as my favorite player, Russell Wilson might be on his way to doing the same, but Steve Largent is still and always will be "Mr. Seahawk" to me.

Bill Weld?
The guy that got bored with being Governor and wandered off?
One of them, anyway
It's not like he's the only one.
At least Weld finished a full term before he got bored and wandered off to not be the ambassador to Mexico (since Jesse Helms blocked him).
Cellucci was in office for less than four years (even counting his part of Weld's second term) before he got bored and became the ambassador to Canada.
Swift wasn't in the office long enough to get bored.
Romney, unlike his predecessors, kept the job when he got bored with being governor...which means that even Sarah Palin had a better understanding of the responsibilities of the position of governor than he did.
But unlike Democrat Speakers
But unlike Democrat Speakers of the House, none of them went to jail.

Bill Weld's painfully twisting responce to gay marriage
I was for it in MA, not for it in NY, now, who knows?
Anyone who really cares about
Anyone who really cares about gay marriage isn't going to vote for a Republican in any case.
And by the way - Obama was against it before he was for it. If you actually believe that he didn't lie to get elected the first time.
Actually, he was for it before he was against it
before he was for it. He was on tape in the 90s talking about how he supported gay marriage. And it's "Democratic" not "Democrat". Turn off Howie and Rush for a second there.
Oh, no, it's not that
You miss the opposite side of that - anyone who cares about keeping gay marriage illegal on a federal level would want someone who has been clear on his opinion ... otherwise you get, um, Mitt Romney?
i can relate.... i think most
i can relate.... i think most "pro" gay marriage people who have been alive long enough probably started "anti" at some point in the past, that's just the way the world has changed. So we can all relate.
And regardless we ALL were alive when obama's switch on that issue was headline news, so you aren't enlightening anyone by revealing that. You should probably just stick to the "57 states" barbs....
It's a chance for Weld to distinguish himself from the crazies
I'm not sure that the article is as damning as characterized, and in any event, does not necessarily jive with what one of my close friends told me about Weld's demeanor at a gay wedding in town a few years ago. He said that Weld had some kind of active role in the ceremony (I can't remember precisely what it was) and that he couldn't have been more graceful or supportive of the couple (n.b., my friend was no fan of Weld from a political standpoint).
At all events, this is an area where Weld could distinguish himself from the crazies in the national party (and thereby render himself even more electable in Massachusetts) by harkening back to the libertarian streak of real Republicanism (as opposed to the southern-fried brand we see now), e.g., by saying that what people do in their private lives and which does not have a meaningful negative impact on others is no concern of the government (and especially not of the federal one).
Painfully Twisting?
Maybe he Evolved.
Do you mean devolved? He
Do you mean devolved? He went from being accepting to the old conservative schtick of "states rights" to cover up his past statements and bring himself a little closer to a real republican. Markey FTW.
Bring on Big Red!
Even if you hate Weld, you should like to see him in the race unless you want yet another campaign full of the same old tired talking points.
Come on, Big Red, get in the game. As I've been saying for months, those of us who have been paying attention don't believe that you came back for the weather or the view from One Financial.
I hear....
Weld is making too much money in the private sector to give it up for a short time in the Senate. My money's on Markey.
Brown will run in the Governor's race, due to the fact that smarter people than him have told him if he runs for the Senate and loses again, his next career move will be filling in for Howie when Michele (one L on Facebook!) McPhee is too busy.
I not sure Weld needs the money. That might be a cover.
The "I'm making too much money in the private sector" thing might make sense for someone like Brown, but I'm not so sure it does for Weld. As I recall, he comes from an old New York family that has quite a bit of money. Also, it's only a couple of years to fill out the rest of the term, so if he doesn't like it, or really does need the money, he could be back at to it no time - presumably making even more for ML after having had a few years in the U.S. Senate.
I am, however, interested to know what else (if anything) you might be hearing, as I know you are well-situated for that kind of thing...
Let me clarify
I never said Weld needed the money. He likes money. He also really enjoys fine libations without having to be concerned about the public scrutiny a US Senator enjoys.
I am also hearing some rumblings about Sean Bielat...
Sean Bielat
Joe Malone for a new generation.
Doug Bennett is running.
I for one welcome him as a breath of fresh air speaking truth to power about issues the lamestream candidates won't dare touch.

I just couldn't in good conscience vote for a man who uses Netscape Composer to design his website. Just can't do it.


text: The Leavenworth High School boys basketball team finished second in the Citizens National Bank Tournament after losing 64-53 to Raytown South on Saturday at LHS. "I don't want to say I'm happy to get second, but there are six other teams that wished they got second," LHS head coach Larry Hogan said. The Pioneers led 31-23 at halftime, but had just a two-point lead going into the fourth quarter. "We could have been up more than that, but we didn't finish plays," Hogan said. "Because of that, I think we really opened the door." The Pioneers beat North Kansas City and KC Washington by a combined 23 points in the first two rounds. Senior Cameron Wiggins scored 26 points in each of those games. He knocked in 33 points in Saturday's championship game, but went scoreless in the fourth quarter. "They turned up the defensive pressure and we just flat didn't handle it real well," Hogan said. "They really got after Cameron. Their goal was to not allow him to get touches, which is what I expect to see all year as we go along." Wiggins made the all-tournament team, along with sophomore Dominique Miller, who combined to score 27 in the last two tournament games. "He's really shown us a lot of promise," Hogan said. LHS plays Friday at Bishop Miege before holiday break. "We really need to go to Miege and play well," Hogan said. "It's a tough place to play." The Stags have played one game, a 71-39 loss to Blue Valley Northwest. "The issue with that is that Blue Valley Northwest is the returning 6A state champions," Hogan said "And, they return just about everybody." Hogan said there may not be much he can learn about the Stags because of the lack of film. The Pioneers beat Bishop Miege, 60-54, at home last season. Hogan said his team needs to finish more plays and get post players involved. "We need to get some easier buckets around the basket with some of our big kids," he said. Senior Collin Anderson, junior Jacob Boyce and sophomore Avery Bartlett have been in the mix for minutes in the post. Hogan said they need more experience. "Each one of them has missed opportunities to score where we just missed some easy shots," Hogan said. "It's still a little bit of inexperience, I think."

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......
People want to be needed, I found that out too
I'm weird. Just work through that and we'll all be fine.

Child Support
Don't you just love it when things don't go as planned?
Of course, most of us don't love it. We like our plans. We like being in control, despite the fact that this is an illusion.
While I believe that being prepared and making plans are important, being unprepared—in the sense of being open and receptive—is also a skill worth cultivating.
I don't need to make this point to those in special needs families, because you already know all about this. You know how important it is to take a deep breath and let go when things get wild and crazy.
This being the case, it is you who have been my greatest teachers in the art of loosening up. My relationship with my brother Willie and with others in the L'Arche community have showed me, time and time again, that adhering to a rigid sense of how things ought to be leads to missing out on the strange, true, chaotic wonder of what is.
In short, it is because of those relationships that I was able to go with the flow at the Lollipop Kids Foundation Family Support Day last Saturday. As I wrote in last week's column, I'd volunteered to lead fellow siblings in a Sibling Support group. I'd prepared a mini-curriculum, complete with questions, activities, and time for reflection.
However, I'd prepared with the (incorrect) assumption that the siblings would be teenagers, or pre-teens at least. Yet as I enjoyed meeting families during lunch, I realized that nearly all of the siblings present were 10 years old or younger. In fact, one sibling was only 3 years old!
Oddly enough, I didn't feel panic. I'd resolved to show up and be present for whomever came to the event, and if that meant throwing my plans out the window, so be it.
I will always be glad that I did choose to show up. Though there was a fair amount of chaos—the 3-year-old's sole mission was to escape from the supervision of his (very patient) 14-year-old brother—there were also moments of strong connection. Though we took breaks to tangle ourselves up in a "Human Knot" and listen to Taylor Swift, we did talk about the realities of being a special-needs sibling.
The kids shared their experiences with straightforward transparency: How cool it was that their special-needs siblings had unique gifts, how awesome it was to know just how to make their siblings smile. They also shared the harder things: How frustrating it was when one parent always had to stay with their sibling, how self-conscious they felt when their sibling did something strange in public.
When I shared stories from my life, they reciprocated immediately. When I spoke about how frightening it was when my brother got out-of-control angry and punched holes through walls, another girl spoke up, saying that her dad had punched a hole in a wall after a frustrating time with her sibling. We met each other's gaze, and something of the isolation every sibling experiences healed over for both of us. As I listened to their stories—so like my own—I felt tears prickle in my eyes.
Despite the age difference, I felt akin to these kids. One young girl in particular seemed a kindred spirit. She was incredibly smart, perceptive, and kind; her presence was an anchor in the group. Because of her, I felt brave enough to share a little bit from my book, "Love's Subversive Stance." Though I didn't read a story aloud like I'd planned, the kids loved looking at pictures of me and Willie when we were younger.
As the event drew to a close, my kindred spirit approached me, a copy of my book in hand. With a lump in my throat, I wrote a message for her. Parents milled around me; many were wiping tears from their faces, thanking the director and the other volunteers. And in the midst of it all, I was putting pen to paper, thinking once again how leaving normal had brought me to a beautiful place.

This is the Transylvanian naked neck chicken, popularly known as the "churkey" because it appears to have the body of a chicken and the head of a turkey. And this mysterious mutation could actually help feed the world.
What makes the churkey - or, as it is also rather predictably known, the turken - appear turkey-like is its neck, which is completely devoid of feathers. Edinburgh University researchers believe this is the result of a mutation, which was then exacerbated and enhanced by the vitamin A-like substance produced in the bird's neck.
This substance in turn leads to the creation of a protein known as BMP12, which stops feather growth and leads to the bald neck that the churkey enjoys today. This is likely the same basic process that has given other naked-necked birds like vultures and ostriches their distinctive appearance, and it helps solve the evolutionary mystery of how so many different birds have gained naked necks when they don't have a common ancestor.
What's particularly cool about this mutation is that it could actually help save lives. Their naked necks make churkeys far better-equipped to handled hot tropical climates than their chicken counterparts, and their introduction could provide a much-needed jolt to poultry production in the developing world.

CLINTON, MS - The Mississippi College football team forced five turnovers and pulled away for a 45-28 victory over #8 Hardin-Simmons on Saturday night at Robinson-Hale Stadium.
The Choctaws have now beaten Hardin-Simmons two out of the last three years and three times in the last 16 tries. Each time MC has beaten the Cowboys, they have gone on to win the American Southwest Conference championship.
Senior running back Steven Knight rushed for 181 yards on 23 carries with three scores, while catching four passes for 44 yards and another touchdown. The Pearl native had touchdown runs of 72, 3, and 8 yards and a scoring catch of 27 yards in the win.
Hardin-Simmons lost four fumbles and threw an interception, as the Choctaws converted on four of the five turnovers with touchdowns. Senior Jarrad Craine led the team with 10 tackles, while senior Blake Rowell recorded 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
The play of the game came from freshman Raeon Jones when he returned an interception 68 yards with under a minute remaining in the first half. Senior Tommy Reyer tossed a two-yard touchdown pass to junior Randal Pharr and MC took a 21-14 advantage into the half.
MC dominated the time of possession, holding the ball for over 37 minutes. MC had the ball for almost 12 minutes in the 3rd quarter as they outscored the Cowboys, 17-0.
The Choctaws would score the first 24 points of the second half to take a 45-14 lead over the Cowboys. HSU added two late touchdown passes to give the game its final score.
Senior Matt Burke opened the scoring for MC with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Reyer with 6:35 to go in the first quarter.
HSU came right back with two touchdown passes from Taylor Byrd to Corey Jones that covered 58 and 47 yards, respectively.
Knight scored the first of his four touchdowns on the night with a 72-yard scamper that knotted the game at 14. Jones' interception and the subsequent touchdown by Pharr put MC ahead for good.
The Choctaws rushed for 267 yards, while holding the Cowboys to just 75 yards on the ground. HSU passed for 412 yards, but the turnovers kept them out of the end zone.
MC will hit the road to face Louisiana College next Saturday at 6:00 p.m. in Pineville.

#Reverb10 - Day 1 One Word. Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you're choosing that word. Now, imagine it's one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?
2010 has been a year that's hard to describe with just one word. But if I had to choose one, I'd say that word is COMPLICATED.
The year started in a way I hadn't anticipated and life changed in ways I never imagined it could. When the year began, I fully expected it to be the year I got my professional life back on track. But after months of looking for a new gig, I felt like Charlie Brown on Halloween. While all around me it seemed as though people were getting what they wanted, I got a rock. In the midst of it all, I found my way back to my first love - writing - and once I put pen to paper, I started feeling like my old unstoppable self. I finally began to deal with the loss of my business, rediscovered a part of my personality I thought was gone forever, and looked forward to amazing things happening. Then, once again, I was humbled by life in a profound way.
2010 felt like one long rollercoaster ride. There were amazingly high highs, frighteningly low lows,unexpected twists and turns and everything in between. Life was more complicated than I'd ever imagined it could be. What I understand now, is that everything had to change in order to for me grow and become whatever the universe has in store for me. One thing's certain, though - I'm still here. And I'm looking forward all the possibilities the new year holds.
So what's the word for 2011? Because the universe has a funny sense of humor, I'm almost reluctant to attempt to capture 2011 in a single word, but if I have to choose one, I chose BLOSSOM. Now that I've embraced change, I'm ready to bloom.
