FlipBin, 30 litre, Plastic Inner Bucket - Anthracite is rated out of 5 by 116.Rated 5 out of 5 by Gaz0161 from Excellent quality. After buying a cheaper bin from one of those discount shops I found the quality was bad and that the bags got torn when lifting them out because of a sharp lip at the top. I decided to get a better quality bin. This brabantia 30 is 3 time the price of the other one but it's 10 times better. It's has an inner bin with a handle which makes it easy to lift out and because it doesn't have any nasty lip at the rim it doesn't rip the bag up. After shopping around and looking online, Tesco was the cheapest. I wish I bought this bin to start with and saved myself some money and a lot of grief.Date published: 2017-04-03Rated 5 out of 5 by tess from A great bin I bought it to replace the same bin that was 15 years old. This has a good plastic lining which will be easier to clean than the old metal one. Hope it lasts 15 years too.Date published: 2017-02-08Rated 5 out of 5 by chairmanmeaow from Classy bin! We replaced our pedal bin with this flip lid bin and it is so much better... we got so fed up with the pedal bin moving around the room whereas this one stays put. I love the fact the lid stays open when you need it to and it has a nice soft close. The little dash of colour is a nice touch too. It's really nice quality as expected from Brabantia :)Date published: 2015-07-04Rated 4 out of 5 by notinino from Good Quality Pedal Bin Has been using it one month now and I am very happy with it for the price. The lid keeps the flies away and the garbage smell from spreading around the house. Makes kitchen look classy or wherever the bin is placed. However, bin opening a little small for certain bigger-sized items. Wanted to discard a large porcelain plate once (which would have fit into a rectangular-sized bin) and it couldn't fit into this bin. Used to use Simplehuman Butterfly 45L bin which was much better in terms of pedal mechanism, lid opening, bin size and ease of changing garbage bag but much more expensive.Date published: 2015-09-19Rated 5 out of 5 by Beaglelover28 from Beautiful Bin I am delighted with this bin, it is a good size and the lid opens with just the touch of one finger. Brabantia gives a 10 year guarantee as well. The bin was a very good price from Tesco, much cheaper than other retailers.Date published: 2017-04-10Rated 5 out of 5 by Posy Peach from In love with this bin! High quality AND stylish. I'm in love with it! Pretty, pastel, slim, the bag is hidden (and very strong), easy-open lid that does not touch wall behind. I actually find myself gazing at it with admiration.Date published: 2015-06-21Rated 5 out of 5 by Weezy203 from No regrets! Was a bit dubious about paying so much for a bin at first, but after reading many excellent reviews for Brabanita bins. and paying a lot for the kitchen of my dreams I thought I'd use a £10 discount voucher from Tesco. So pleased I did, it sits neatly in gap in my kitchen and looks very stylish. Lid pops up beautifully with ease every time. Nasty smells hidden when lid is down. Easy to clean too. Sturdy and I think it will be part of a kitchen for years to come. Pricey yes- but pleased I chose this bin!Date published: 2012-11-15Rated 4 out of 5 by Choosey from Attractive bin, just hope it has a long life and remains looking good. This is the third bin I have had, as originally I bought the Curver bin, which I liked the look of, but the lid came apart after three months and I couldn't fix it back on, so I took it back and decided to buy the Brabantia, which was more expensive, in case the same thing happened again with the other one. The first Brabantia I bought, when I arrived home and opened the box it had a large dent in the side, so that had to go back, and I was sent a replacement, which arrived in good condition, but I am treating it very carefully, in case it damages easily.Date published: 2013-02-17

DAVAO CITY, Philippines, March 16, 2013— Kapatid stars flying in to the city for the 2013 Araw ng Dabaw should brace themselves for droves of fans and supporters as TV5 continues to solidify its position in Mindanao's premier broadcast market.
Kidlat lead star Derek Ramsay joins the other cast members of the TV5 top-rating series — leading ladies Nadine Samonte and Ritz Azul and Wendell Ramos — for an eventful day coinciding with one of the Southern Philippines' most anticipated festivals. Never Say Goodbye's Vin Abrenica and Sophie Albert, one of today's most popular love teams, are also part of the Kapatid contingent in the city — much to the excitement of their Davaoeño fans. The "Go5! Live sa Araw ng Dabaw" event is TV5's way of thanking Davaoeños for patronizing TV5 programs and personalities.
At 3:00PM, the cast of Kidlat invades Davao's Abreeza Mall for a fun show packed with games and prizes. Fans will also get the chance to meet the show's stars up close. At 4:00PM, the TV5 Serye Caravan will be rolled out at the Rizal Park so Davaoeños can have a chance to watch their favorite Kapatid programs like Kidlat, Never Say Goodbye, Lokomoko U and Face to Face. Stars part of the Kapatid contingent will also hold a show at the same place come 6:30PM that will surely delight those in the city for the Araw ng Dabaw celebrations.
Araw ng Dabaw celebrates the 76th anniversary of Davao's cityhood. As one of the world's biggest cities in terms of land area, the city has become Mindanao's center of urban development and is considered the leading force in Metro Davao, the Philippines' third most populous metropolitan area.

Over the past 10 days, I've been touring Germany with 29 other colleagues from college. We went to Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. The site visits were planned to allow us enough free time go around the cities and do our own thing as well. The best part was that most of us were strangers to each other, from various courses and majors. But what a trip it was!!! We've had so much fun. Any trip when you don't sleep for more than 5 hours a night has to be an awesome trip I guess.
This being Christmas time, there's merry everywhere. Christmas markets are around every corner, selling all sorts of knickknacks, Christmas decorations with people everywhere in the freezing cold. Of course, not to forget field visits which were very enriching in terms of how companies are viewing logistics these days and organizing the entire supply chain to meet daily needs and demands.
Here's my pick of one picture from each city, along with a description of it:
Hamburg: We went to the Kuehne + Nagel logistics center here and toured the facility to understand how they handle contract logistics for Yamaha music.
The next factory we visited was the Nestle plant where we toured the Kit-Kat factory.
Hamburg doesn't have much to see or do. What it does have is the best Christmas markets. The Christmas markets everywhere have something called Gluwein (glue-wine). It is hot wine served in a small mug. You can carry the mug as you walk along the market. Also, the food is great – you get all sorts of baked cakes and pastries and the German special – sausages. My personal favorite however, is the stir fried mushrooms with sour cream on it. It's called Champignon and is simply heavenly. My next favorite was the stir fried noodles with vegetables with the hot Chinese sauce. I guess my love for Indian Chinese will never go away.
Here's one of the roads decked up for Christmas:
Berlin: In Berlin, we had the opportunity to listen to a lecture by Prof. Carl Marcus Wallenburg at the Technical University of Berlin. He showed us a World Bank report about logistics in Germany. This was followed by a visit to the Knorr-Bremse Systeme plant for a tour of their factory. This company builds the braking systems for almost all trains in the world. Berlin by itself was a really depressing city with lots of history and museums dedicated to the Cold War and World War 2. This city typifies the Nazi Germany in terms of history. But who can forget the Olympic stadium and the Berlin wall?! It also has some of the most beautiful architecture from the Renaissance period – most of them copies of Italy or Greece.
Berlin wall:
Munich: This is the most happening city here. It has the BMW factory and the Olympic stadium. The BMW plant is phenomenal – I was awestruck by the sheer level of automation they have! The factory has a 97% automation level. Most of the manufacturing is done by robots. It's almost like Transformers in real life!! It was freaky to say the least. Munich also has the OktoberFest every year, so this is generally one of the most lively cities here.
Architecture-wise, this city has about 700 fountains – the most in Germany. But most of them were closed now in the winter.
Here's the BMW office designed in the shape of the 4 cylinder engine.
The last day was for ourselves, and some of us decided to visit a castle nearby. A 2 hour train ride away from Munich is the Neuschwanstein castle. It is situated on a hill, has the Swiss alps in the backdrop, a lake and waterfall in the front, and pine forests all around. It was one of the most picturesque settings I've seen to date.
So hope you guys enjoyed seeing the pics as much as I enjoyed being in them. This trip doesn't give you any course credits, but if you want to hang out with a bunch of Buckeyes in an unknown land during winter break and have fun while at the same time learn about logistics, I would strongly suggest you do it. After all, college life is a luxury which won't last for long.
Statutory Warning: Maximum fun guaranteed!!

May 10, 2004
New Haven, CT - The Yale Bulldogs already knew they would be hosting the NCAA East Regional golf tournament, but on Monday they found out they would also be participating in it. The Elis were one of 27 teams selected to participate in the East Regional, which will be held May 20-22 at The Course at Yale. This is the eighth time in the last nine years that Yale, which has won 21 national golf titles, has made the NCAA Regionals.

There is that; however, I am referring to the modern 1960's onwards issue health research. Before that, in the West, tobacco was an accepted given. "Smoke 'em if you got 'em."BlackBird wrote:Again, you're quite correct. It's been going on for several centuries.tiltbillings wrote:It is hardly "a century old argument."BlackBird wrote:The nature of your rhetoric isn't going to make smokers feel good, put it that way.
But rehashing a century old argument won't convince them to quit either.
Of course there is second hand smoke, itself a serious problem, but the pain of watching a loved one die from a tobacco related illness, or a loved one struggling to breathe because his or her lung are turned to garbage by the tar and other crap in cigarettes, is destructive.BB wrote:It's hardly destructive to those around them.tiltbillings wrote: And there is no reason smokers should feel good about smoking; it is destructive to them and to those around them.
Which is where it should be. And far away from children.Nor does the smoker, increasingly relegated to smoking in private
Which is a very narrow, very limited, one-eyed point of view. One's own health goes to hell because of one's addiction to smoking, it has no effect on one's loved ones? Smokers aren't evil. Tobacco executives are, for knowing the dangers of cigarettes, for making cigarettes more addictive and for keeping that all secret until finally outed by one of their own. Smokers, who most often start very young, have made poor, immature choices, often suckered by the tobacco suits into thinking smoking is something special, something that will make one feel special.I would be more inclined to think the negative cost of smoking is by in large, one's own health, in which case I return to my statement - Why go around making smokers feel bad about it?
What is there to feel good about smoking? Your bad breath, that you are turning your lungs into garbage, likely shortening your life span, the money waste on buying cigarettes, that you stink like an ashtray after smoking a cigarette? All of the for a nicotine buzz and feeling cool because you have a fag hanging out you mouth?
I have no problem with what I have written. As a health care giver, I have seen repeatedly the aftermath of smoking and the pain on the faces and in the voices of the families involved. There is no defense for smoking.Finally, let me ask you this Tilt, how does the way you have written your words in this thread, stack up against the Buddha's criteria for right speech?

Colorado College: Students Found Guilty for Satirical Flyer
Category: Cases, Free Speech
Schools: Colorado College
Two male students were found responsible for violating the school's "violence" policy for posting a flyer that parodied a flyer from the Feminist and Gender Studies program. Colorado College's "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" had distributed a flyer called "The Monthly Rag," which included a reference to "male castration," an announcement about a lecture on "feminist porn," and an explanation of "packing" (pretending to have a phallus). As a parody of "The Monthly Rag," the two male students distributed a flyer called "The Monthly Bag" under the pseudonym "Coalition of Some Dudes." The flyer included references to "tough guy wisdom," "chainsaw etiquette," the shooting range of a sniper rifle, and a quotation about "female violence and abuse" of men from the website batteredmen.com. The college subjected them to an hours-long hearing and found them responsible because of their "juxtaposition of weaponry and sexuality" on their flyer. Disciplinary letters were placed in their official files.

CC dinged over free speech issue
August 28, 2009
Staff Report at The Gazette The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has rated Colorado College as being among "the worst of the worst" when it comes to liberty on campus. The nonprofit civil rights group took out a full page ad of "Red Alert" schools in the 2010 edition of U.S. News and World Report's America's Best Colleges issue, released this week. The organization monitors schools for what it sees as violations of free speech, due process, religious liberty and other civil rights issues. CC was singled out for finding two students guilty of violence for posting a flier that […]» Read More
Group scolds CC for free-speech violations
June 28, 2008
By Brian Newsome at The Gazette A national watchdog group has put Colorado College on its "worst offender" list for free-speech violations after two students were reprimanded for writing a satirical newsletter. CC joins a "red alert" list with four other U.S. colleges that The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, considers to post the most serious threat to free speech and civil liberties. It urges parents and students to "think twice" before going there. "While abuses occur on many campuses, Red Alert campuses have policies and/ or practices that pose a particularly dangerous threat to basic freedoms," […]» Read More
What we're buying at college
May 2, 2008
by Mona Charen Townhall.com This week millions of high school seniors across the nation will mail forms and checks to colleges announcing their intention to matriculate. It's the culmination of what some say was the toughest year ever to pry open the golden doors of academe. My husband and I are still a few years away from writing those whopping checks to doubtless already well-endowed institutions, but a spirit of rebellion stirs in my soul at the thought of it. We tamely fork over tens of thousands of dollars (about $45,000 per year) for the privilege of having our […]» Read More
EDITORIAL: Punished for the crime of satire
May 1, 2008
Las Vegas Review-Journal What do Colorado College administrators have in common with Islamic radicals? Besides having absolutely no sense of humor, they share the insane opinion that any satirization of their sensibilities constitutes an act of violence. Recall the international furor created more than two years ago when a Danish newspaper published a dozen cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. An exercise in free speech spawned waves of deadly protests around the world and calls from leaders of Muslim theocracies to prosecute the editors and artists involved. When dumbfounded Europeans tried to explain that free expression is a core Western liberty […]» Read More

FTS: So Mr. Kissel, what brought you here? AK: I was invited to speak at Colorado College to address the controversy over the punishment and censorship of students who distributed a satirical flier.

Joking students called on the carpet
April 12, 2008
A satirical response to a feminist publication at Colorado College has landed the college and two of its students in the middle of a fierce debate over freedom of speech. Chris Robinson and another student at the Colorado Springs institution decided to print "The Monthly Bag" after seeing copies of a feminist and gender studies newsletter, "The Monthly Rag," in restrooms around campus. The edition of "The Monthly Rag" that prompted action included an announcement for a talk on feminist pornography, information on gender-bending practices, and a tidbit about a myth involving male castration. According to Robinson, it was representative […]» Read More
CC's free-speech fears
April 8, 2008
by Vincent Carroll Rocky Mountain News Chris Robinson is a one-man free-speech movement. Colorado College, where Robinson is a senior majoring in political science, believes free speech on certain topics is worrisome and must be corralled. So its thought police subjected Robinson and a fellow student (who has chosen to remain anonymous) to an inquisition last month after they published a parody of a campus feminist flier known as The Monthly Rag. For good measure, dean of students Mike Edmonds reached into his bag of tricks two weeks later and found Robinson and his colleague guilty of the farcical […]» Read More
'What Can The Virginia Tech Tragedy Do For Me?'
April 7, 2008
by Greg Lukianoff The Huffington Post In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, we all knew things on college campuses were going to change. Even the most cynical among us, however, probably didn't think to themselves, "Hey, how can I use this horrible tragedy to my advantage?" But regardless of whether that despicable thought ever popped into college administrators' heads or not, the simple fact is that some administrators have been using the campus shootings of the past two years as an excuse to justify cracking down on speech they don't like. The most dramatic recent example of college […]» Read More
Flyers prompt free speech debate at Colorado College
April 3, 2008
By Heather Skold at KRDO News Channel 13 A war of words at Colorado College. It has one student saying college leaders have a double-standard over free speech. It all comes down to two flyers—one put out by the Feminist and Gender Studies Program on campus, and the other by a male student who says he just meant to poke fun at the feminist flyer. Chris Robinson, a senior political science student, and a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, posted a flyer across campus. On it, you'll find snippets like "Tough Guy Wisdom," a recent study questioning the glass […]» Read More
Satirical Flier Raises Ire
April 3, 2008
By Peter Marcus at The Denver Daily News Two Colorado Springs college students will appeal disciplinary action taken against them by the school for a flier that was meant to be a satirical response to a monthly feminist flier. Chris Robinson and a second unnamed student are being required by Colorado College to hold a forum to discuss the "issues and questions which (they) raised," according to a disciplinary letter issued by Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Mike Edmonds. Operating under the name the Coalition Of Some Dudes, the two students distributed a flier, the "Monthly […]» Read More
Flyers spark free speech debate at CC
April 2, 2008
Two Colorado College students are drawing criticism for posting a flyer on campus that mocked a feminist publication and, the college says, made violent references. Chris Robinson, a senior Political Science major at Colorado College, says he and friend published "The Monthly Bag" as a joke, a parody of a Feminist and Gender Studies student publication "The Monthly Rag". "It was a satirical journal of guy stuff," Robinson said. However, the college didn't see it as a joke. The flyers were taken down the morning they were put up, according to Robinson.

Free speech an issue at CC after satirical flier is prohibited
April 1, 2008
By Brian Newsome at The Gazette Chris Robinson would see the racy feminist flier The Monthly Rag posted in bathrooms at Colorado College, and thought it "begged to be satirized." So he and another student penned The Monthly Bag under the pseudonym "the coalition of some dudes." Their flier was laced with male stereotypes and political jabs and came out shortly after the Rag's latest edition earlier this year. Both newsletters contained vulgarity befitting a bathroom stall. But The Monthly Bag was taken down by college staff the day it came out. Robinson and his friend, who has not been […]» Read More
Quick Takes from Inside Higher Ed: Double Standard Alleged
April 1, 2008
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education is criticizing Colorado College for punishing students who distributed a flyer that mocked a flyer distributed by feminist students on the campus. The feminist students' flyer is called "The Monthly Rag" and the leaflet mocking it is called "The Monthly Bag." When the latter appeared, with its authors identified only as "the coalition of some dudes," college officials asked those responsible to come forward. When they did, FIRE asserted, they were ordered to hold a campus forum after being found guilty of violating the student code against violence. FIRE called this inconsistent and […]» Read More
Colorado College satire causes a stir
March 31, 2008
A Colorado college has found two students guilty of violating the conduct code against violence after the students distributed a satirical flyer poking fun at the college's Feminist and Gender Studies program. Chris Robinson and a second student who wished to remain nameless now must hold a campus forum to discuss the very issues that landed them in hot water. The controversy began when Colorado College's "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" distributed their newsletter entitled The Monthly Rag. The newsletter contained information pertaining to the women's studies program and also highlighted information on a lecture to be delivered by a […]» Read More
The Unique Free Speech Challenges Facing Student Satire and Humor
February 1, 2013
As we wrap up Free Press Week, we take a look today at the unique challenges that college students face when engaging in satire and humor on campus, from humor magazines and editorial cartoons to satirical flyers and blogs. Like newspaper theft and denial of newspaper funding (which we have already explored this week), this is an issue that FIRE has seen time and time again on university campuses over the years. For any number of reasons, parody, jokes, and satire-whether in print or otherwise—tend to rankle students and university administrators alike as few other forms of expression do. Consequently, […]» Read More
Colorado College Remains in the 'Red'
June 21, 2012
Colorado College (CC) has long been associated with one color here at FIRE: red, as in our Red Alert list, on which CC remains for violating the free speech rights of two students back in 2008. But recent actions have demonstrated that this association is warranted for another reason: CC's continued maintenance of "red light" speech codes restricting all kinds of student expression. Despite FIRE's efforts, CC has not seen fit to improve its red light status, meaning that campus expression is constantly in danger of being censored and punished—just as was the case in 2008. Longtime Torch readers will […]» Read More
This Month in FIRE History: Controversy at Colorado College
March 18, 2011
Three years ago this month, FIRE began a battle for free speech and individual rights at Colorado College that continues to this day. FIRE first became involved at Colorado College when the school targeted two students for distributing a parody mocking a Feminist and Gender Studies program newsletter, "The Monthly Rag," a publication that had included a reference to "male castration," an announcement about a lecture on "feminist porn" by a "world-famous prostitute and porn star," an explanation of "packing" (pretending to have a phallus), and a quotation from The Bitch Manifesto. In response, the two students had produced their own […]» Read More
Time for Colorado College to get off FIRE's Red Alert List
September 10, 2010
For the third consecutive year, Colorado College is called out for its shameful disregard of free speech in FIRE's full-page U.S. News & World Report advertisement. As with its fellow Red Alert list members, we would dearly like to take it off the list, and for Colorado College to earn its way off would be simple. First, though, the matter of how it got on the list to begin with. Torch readers may remember that in 2008 Colorado College student Chris Robinson, along with one other student, parodied a flyer called "The Monthly Rag," which had been distributed on campus […]» Read More
FIRE Launches New Video Series With Short Film on Censorship of Gun-Related Speech
June 30, 2010
PHILADELPHIA, June 30, 2010—Today, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is proud to release a new short film, "Empty Holsters: Gun Speech on America's Campuses," highlighting widespread campus censorship of student speech about guns. The film is the first in a new FIRE series focusing on how colleges and universities across America are preventing students and faculty members from speaking out on the weightiest political issues of the day. "In the wake of Monday's Supreme Court decision in McDonald v. Chicago, debate about the Second Amendment and gun rights is sure to be hotter than ever," said FIRE […]» Read More
Changes in Leadership Give Red Alert Schools Golden Opportunity to Restore Free Speech
May 19, 2010
The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that Richard F. Celeste will step down as President of Colorado College at the end of the next academic year. This latest announcement means that four of the six schools on FIRE's Red Alert list will undergo changes in leadership in the next year. Bucknell University President Brian C. Mitchell announced last year his intention to retire from Bucknell's presidency, exiting Bucknell on June 30; Lawrence S. Bacow has announced his intention to leave Tufts University in June 2011; and embattled Brandeis University President Jehuda Reinharz plans to exit his post by then as […]» Read More

Here's an easy New Year's resolution that Brandeis University, Bucknell University, Colorado College, Johns Hopkins University, Michigan State University, and Tufts University can make: get off of FIRE's Red Alert list of America's worst violators of campus liberty! This week, FIRE sent the presidents of each of the six Red Alert schools a letter reminding them of their schools' serious and ongoing violations of student and faculty rights, and just how easy it is for each of them to remedy their mistakes and reaffirm their commitment to freedom of expression. FIRE also included with each letter a copy of the […]» Read More
How Can Colorado College Get Off FIRE's Red Alert List?
August 31, 2009
FIRE's full-page ad in the current issue of U.S. News & World Report, right next to the annual college rankings, exposes the colleges and universities that are the "worst of the worst" when it comes to individual rights. These are schools where policies and past practices are so bad that FIRE actively warns students and faculty members to think twice before joining a community that violates its constitutional or contractual obligations to respect freedom of expression and due process. Schools don't have to stay on the list forever. Last year, for example, FIRE's U.S. News ad featured Valdosta State University, which quickly changed its […]» Read More
'U.S. News' Readers: FIRE's Red Alert List Exposes the Worst Violators of Campus Rights
August 25, 2009
The Story Behind FIRE's U.S. News & World Report Ad… Why does FIRE's ad in U.S. News & World Report show a book padlocked shut? One of FIRE's most shocking cases was that of Keith John Sampson, a student-employee at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) who was found guilty of racial harassment for merely reading the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan during his work breaks. Thanks to FIRE's involvement and extensive media coverage, the finding against Sampson was overturned and his school record was cleared. Such stories of censorship are […]» Read More
This Month in FIRE History: Students Found Guilty for Satirical Flyer at Colorado College
April 23, 2009
I hardly have to "look back" in order to find the most disturbing April case in our 10-year history. Just last year Colorado College gained its place on our Red Alert (worst of the worst) list through its treatment of the satirical flyer "The Monthly Bag" and the students responsible for it. In January 2008, a group of students identifying themselves as the "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" published a flyer entitled "The Monthly Rag." The flyer contained, among other things, a reference to "male castration," an announcement about a lecture on "feminist porn" by a "world-famous prostitute and porn […]» Read More
Exploitation of 'Violence' Charges Makes Colorado College One of 2008's Worst Offenders
December 30, 2008
It's a difficult task encapsulating FIRE's efforts in 2008 in a single sentence, much less a single word. After all, the breadth of FIRE's victories on campus this year ranges from the exoneration of a student at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis who was the subject of a disgraceful investigation stemming from reading a book with the words "Ku Klux Klan" in the title to securing the rights of an instructor at Temple College in Texas to display a quote by Nietzsche on his office door. In between, FIRE clarified the right to political expression at the University of Oklahoma in […]» Read More
Stop Invoking Virginia Tech to Punish Protected Speech
November 24, 2008
Of particular note in the court order in Barnes v. Zaccari, the federal civil rights lawsuit filed after former Valdosta State University (VSU) student Hayden Barnes was expelled for posting a collage on Facebook.com protesting the construction of new parking facilities at VSU, is this excerpt: For purposes of the motion to dismiss, the court determines that the inclusion of the word "memorial" by its mere utterance in a photo collage that was posted on an internet website simply cannot be rationally construed as likely to incite immediate violence, even in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy that the […]» Read More
This Month in FIRE History: IUSB and Double Standards for Student Speech
September 18, 2008
In our nearly ten-year history, FIRE has seen many absurd cases in which students have been punished for exercising their First Amendment rights. One of our more interesting cases was finally resolved last September, when Indiana University–South Bend overturned its punishment of student reporter Robert Francis, whose only offense was asking questions of an actress in the cast of The Vagina Monologues. The play, which includes a great deal of graphic language and sexual content, is dedicated to the "celebration of female sexuality," but Francis's questions in a similar vein were deemed "lewd, indecent or obscene." Francis got in trouble […]» Read More
FIRE Exposes Unrepentant Abusers of Liberty in 'U.S. News' College Rankings Issue
August 25, 2008
PHILADELPHIA, August 25, 2008—The 2009 edition of U.S. News and World Report's America's Best Colleges issue, released today, includes a full-page advertisement from FIRE highlighting the five colleges and universities that have earned FIRE's Red Alert distinction for being the "worst of the worst" when it comes to liberty on campus. Students should think twice before choosing to attend Red Alert schools, which include Brandeis University, Colorado College, Johns Hopkins University, Tufts University, and Valdosta State University. "Every year, millions of students and parents turn to U.S. News and World Report to see the latest college rankings," said FIRE President […]» Read More
FIRE Again Urges Colorado College President to Demonstrate His Recommitment to Free Speech
July 31, 2008
FIRE gave Colorado College President Richard Celeste another opportunity yesterday to restore the tarnished image of his school by once again calling on him to remove any disciplinary letters from the files of two CC students. Loyal Torch readers will remember this amazing case in which students were punished simply for posting satirical flyers. Back in February, a group calling themselves "the Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" posted a flyer around campus entitled "The Monthly Rag." The flyer contained references to an upcoming lecture by "world-famous prostitute and porn star" Annie Sprinkle and male castration. In response, two CC students […]» Read More
Weekly Media Round-up: IUPUI Heats up the News Cycle, and Richard Celeste Continues to Get it Wrong
July 18, 2008
FIRE's public efforts on behalf of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) student-employee Keith John Sampson, who was convicted of racial harassment for reading the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan, received a major boost this week, courtesy of the Associated Press. The AP ran a story covering IUPUI Chancellor Charles Bantz's belated apology to Sampson following months of contemptible treatment at the hands of the university and IUPUI's Affirmative Action office. The article, which first appeared on July 14, has been picked up by more than 200 separate news outlets, including […]» Read More
Colorado College President Blogs on 'Monthly Bag' Case, Makes Errors, Spins Untruths
July 17, 2008
This week the President of Colorado College (CC), Richard Celeste, blogged for a second time in the disgraceful case of two male students convicted of "violence" after they posted a parody of a feminist newsletter. The story is well known to Torch readers, but Celeste gets some of his facts wrong and shamefully spins others. Here is his entire post from July 14, with commentary: Follow-up to 'The Monthly Bag' I'd like to keep you updated on "The Monthly Bag" and one group's reaction to the college's response. See my previous blog entry for the beginning of this story. This […]» Read More
FIRE's 'Test for Free Speech'
July 16, 2008
In a recent entry on his blog Flow of Ideas, Colorado College President Dick Celeste writes of FIRE: An interesting note: In 2007, FIRE reviewed 346 colleges and universities, and fully 96 percent of them did not pass its test for free speech (only 2% passed; 2% were unrated). Celeste arrives at this figure by combining the number of schools that received either a "red light" or a "yellow light" rating in FIRE's 2007 report Spotlight on Speech Codes 2007: The State of Free Speech on Our Nation's Campuses. By FIRE's definition, "red light" schools maintain policies that both clearly […]» Read More
Whence is Colorado College's Board of Trustees Getting Its False Information?
June 26, 2008
Today we report in a press release that the Chair of Colorado College's (CC's) Board of Trustees has affirmed the school's actions in finding that two students violated CC's "violence" policy for posting a flyer that parodied a flyer of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. In a letter to FIRE, Board of Trustees Chair David van Diest Skilling wrote that "the College acted correctly in their handling of the students' behavior" and that "there is no need for further action." But it seems that the Trustees were not given either true or complete information about the case. Torch readers […]» Read More
Colorado College Board of Trustees Backs School in Punishing Students for 'Violent' Parody
June 26, 2008
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., June 26, 2008—The Chair of Colorado College's (CC's) Board of Trustees has affirmed the school's actions in finding that student Chris Robinson and another student wishing to remain anonymous violated CC's "violence" policy for posting a flyer that parodied a flyer of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. In a letter to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), Board of Trustees Chair David van Diest Skilling wrote that "the College acted correctly in their handling of the students' behavior" and that "there is no need for further action."

Colorado College's President Misses the Point (Again)
June 25, 2008
A friend of FIRE at Colorado College recently passed along a copy of the May 9th edition of The Catalyst, the school's student newspaper, which featured a column written by Colorado College President Richard Celeste. The column, aptly titled "Trials and Tribulations of 07/08," is a look back at the year's controversies, including the most recent flap over a satirical flyer published by a handful of students. As many of our readers know, the flyer, entitled "The Monthly Bag," was a parody of a publication by the "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" entitled "The Monthly Rag." The students involved were […]» Read More
When Schools Punish Creative Work
May 20, 2008
As Samantha points out this morning, today's Wall Street Journal features an excellent article by Elizabeth Bernstein on schools that punish students for their creative work—sometimes with good intentions, when there is a real chance that the work signifies that someone is dangerous—and sometimes vindictively, such as in the case of student T. Hayden Barnes at Valdosta State University. Barnes, an environmentalist who was protesting against new parking garages, was expelled after he published an innocent collage (see for yourself) on Facebook.com that Valdosta's president disingenuously chose to interpret as a threat to his life. The WSJ piece explains that […]» Read More
Colorado College Joins Worst Offenders of Liberty on FIRE's Red Alert List
May 15, 2008
Thanks to its disregard for protected speech, obvious display of double standards, and lack of a fair judicial process, Colorado College has earned the dubious distinction of being placed on FIRE's Red Alert list. Institutions on the Red Alert list are unrepentant offenders against basic rights that are guaranteed either by the U.S. Constitution or the schools themselves, and they have policies and/or practices that demonstrate a serious and ongoing threat to present and future students. Although given numerous opportunities to reverse the finding that student Chris Robinson and another student, who wishes to remain anonymous, violated the school's "violence" […]» Read More
Colorado College Press Strategy: Parse Words, Ignore Substance
April 29, 2008
As we've mentioned in this space before, Colorado College President Richard Celeste is the former Governor of Ohio. And after reading the following exchange between Adam Kissel, Director of FIRE's Individual Rights Defense Program, and Colorado College Media Relations Director Jane Turnis, it's obvious Celeste has taught his staff some old political tricks—like parsing opposing arguments to suit your tastes, substance be damned. Let's examine the exchange. Turnis first wrote FIRE late yesterday evening, deeming yesterday's press release—which stated that "Colorado College has denied student Chris Robinson's appeal of its finding that he and another student violated the school's 'violence' […]» Read More

Colorado College Denies Students' Appeal of Guilty Finding
April 28, 2008
Today's press release unveils some disappointing news from Colorado College (CC). CC denied the appeal of student Chris Robinson who, with another student who wishes to remain anonymous, was found guilty of having violated the school's "violence" policy for posting a flyer mocking a flyer distributed by the Feminist and Gender Studies program. Robinson is one of the creators of "The Monthly Bag," a parody of the Feminist and Gender Studies Interns' flyer "The Monthly Rag." While the "Rag" hit on issues like the fear of male castration, feminist porn, and the like, the "Bag" threw back references to chainsaw […]» Read More

Colorado College Travelogue, Part II: Media Tour
April 28, 2008
In my lecture at Colorado College (CC) on Monday—see Part I of this travelogue and listen to the podcast version—I noted: There is a good reason why the media in Colorado Springs, in Denver, and around the country have been all over this case. What has happened to the Dudes is profoundly unjust. The media continue to follow this amazingly shameful case. On Monday night before the lecture, I spoke with some of the top members of the Catalyst, the college's student paper, and about 15 other students ranging from "very liberal" to pretty conservative. The students were fired up, […]» Read More
Colorado College Denies Appeal of Students Responsible for 'Violent' Parody
April 28, 2008
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 28, 2008—Colorado College has denied student Chris Robinson's appeal of its finding that he and another student violated the school's "violence" policy for posting a flyer that parodied a flyer of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. The school also has decided not to remove any letters about the case from the students' files until after graduation. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is assisting Robinson in his case against the school. "First, Colorado College trampled over Chris Robinson's right to engage in an obvious parody, and now the school has further embarrassed itself […]» Read More
Colorado College Travelogue, Part I: Lecture at CC
April 24, 2008
I returned yesterday after two days in Colorado Springs and Denver for a lecture at Colorado College and a media tour in the shameful case of Colorado College's censorship and punishment of students for "violence" after they posted a parody called "The Monthly Bag." (I will describe the media tour in another blog post soon.) On Monday night, having been invited by the Political Science Department and the Journalism Minor at Colorado College, I delivered my lecture to over 100 students and faculty.

Colorado College Feminists Do Not Seek Dialogue
April 16, 2008
Today's Rocky Mountain News prints a very misleading letter from Tomi-Ann Roberts, Professor of Psychology and Director of the Program in Feminist and Gender Studies program at Colorado College. The paper headlined her letter "SPEAKOUT: Feminists at CC seek dialogue." See below for my detailed responses to Roberts's letter and for the simultaneous response from Vincent Carroll, editor of the paper's editorial pages. I thought I would join the dialogue rather than speak merely as an outsider, so I requested to join the Feminist and Gender Studies listserv. Here's the response I got from Roberts: You have requested to join […]» Read More
What Did President Celeste Really Think About The Monthly Bag?
April 16, 2008
In my piece examining Colorado College President Dick Celeste's blog entry about his administration's censorship of the satirical "Monthly Bag" newsletter and the punishment of its authors, I asserted that Celeste didn't really believe that there was any violence threatened by the flyer. I wrote: I am trying to follow Celeste's thought process on this. He has a flyer that he has decided is threatening because it talks about guns and chainsaws and sex and whatnot. So in order to get to the bottom of this and figure out who on campus is ready to make Colorado College the next […]» Read More
The Coalition of Some Other Dudes and the Range of an M1-A1 Tank
April 16, 2008
In response to the censorship and punishment by Colorado College of a flyer that was an obvious parody, another group of students has published a new issue of "The Monthly Bag." These authors, again pseudonymous, are The Coalition of Some Other Dudes. These dudes are, by report, three men and one woman. Yes, women can be dudes. These authors also juxtapose "weaponry and sexuality." This time, information about another sexual position is juxtaposed with statistics on the range of the M1-A1 tank and commentary about "Men's roles in modern warfare." President Celeste, Colorado College can never be too careful. This […]» Read More
Star Chamber at CC
April 16, 2008
I'm delighted to hear from the director of Colorado College's Feminist and Gender Studies Program that many of her colleagues "disagreed" with the abominable way that two male students were recently treated after publishing a satire of a radical feminist flier called the Monthly Rag (see today's Speakout, "Feminists at CC seek dialogue"). Not that professor Tomi-Ann Roberts actually uses the word "abominable." She is too busy building her case that the satiric flier was a "hostile" voice – which it was not, and which you can verify by reviewing it and the publication it parodied at the Web site […]» Read More
Can State Officials Condemn Without Censoring?
April 15, 2008
Over at Popehat, a FIRE friend (pseudonymously "Ken") takes me to task for my response to Colorado College president Richard Celeste's false contention that the students who published the first issue of "The Monthly Bag" were not sanctioned or punished. Celeste's sentence was: The students involved in creating this publication were found to have violated the college community's standards, but they were not sanctioned or punished. In response, I wrote: The students were sanctioned and punished. Take a look at their letter of sanction by Dean of Students Mike Edmonds. Having a guilty finding on one's record is a punishment.

Colorado College President Celeste Blogs on "The Monthly Bag"
April 14, 2008
It turns out that Colorado College President (and former Ohio governor) Dick Celeste has his own blog, "Flow of Ideas," on Colorado College's site. This is a very progressive thing for a college president to do, and I think he is to be commended for this attempt to get down in the trenches in the battle of ideas. Unfortunately, his blog entry about the case of Chris Robinson, Colorado College's most famously persecuted satirist, is a transparent and poorly-executed effort at spin that nobody could find convincing if they knew even one fact of the case outside the carefully selected […]» Read More

Greg's New Blog for 'The Huffington Post' Questions Campus Speech Abuses in the Aftermath of Virginia Tech
April 8, 2008
In his latest blog for The Huffington Post, FIRE President Greg Lukianoff discusses university administrators who have been citing the rash of campus shootings to justify punishing protected speech. Greg writes: In the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy, we all knew things on college campuses were going to change. Even the most cynical among us, however, probably didn't think to themselves, "Hey, how can I use this horrible tragedy to my advantage?" But regardless of whether that despicable thought ever popped into college administrators' heads or not, the simple fact is that some administrators have been using the campus […]» Read More

Colorado Springs Abuzz over Punishment for Parody
April 2, 2008
It seems like a lot of people in Colorado Springs are talking about the case of two students at Colorado College being found guilty of "violence" after they published a parody of a feminist flyer. Their crime: the "juxtaposition of weaponry and sexuality." The Gazette of Colorado Springs put the story on its front page, noting that this is just the latest in a series of controversial cases involving student speech and behavior. KOAA NBC News (Channels 5 and 30 in Colorado Springs and Pueblo) made the case one of its "top stories." The station notes that the college's president […]» Read More
Colorado College President Defends "Violence" Finding against Satirical Flyer
April 1, 2008
This is startling. Scott Jaschik reports at Inside Higher Ed that Colorado College's president, Richard Celeste, has defended the school's finding that two students were guilty of "violence" for posting a satirical flyer. The flyer, called "The Monthly Bag," had been posted anonymously by "The Coalition of Some Dudes" as a clear-as-day parody of a feminist flyer called "The Monthly Rag." But the feminists did not like being parodied. They decided to go after the flyer by saying that they feared violence by the Dudes. Their ground was that the flyer mentioned "chainsaw etiquette" and the range of a sniper […]» Read More
Persecuted for Parody, Colorado College Student Fights Back in Op-Ed
March 31, 2008
As explained in today's press release, Colorado College found two students guilty this month of violating the school's policy against "violence" by publishing an anonymous parody of a publication of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. As Adam explains this morning, by punishing the students, Colorado College violates not only its own promises of freedom of expression, but also fundamental notions of fairness and common sense. Needless to say, as far as censorship on campus is concerned, this case is an instant classic.

Colorado College Punishes Students for "Violent" Satirical Flyer
March 31, 2008
In a press release today, FIRE exposes the preposterous injustice perpetrated by Colorado College when it found two students guilty of "violence" after they distributed a satirical flyer mocking a publication of the Feminist and Gender Studies program. For having violated the school's conduct code regarding violence, student Chris Robinson and a second student have been required to hold a campus forum discussing issues brought up by their satirical publication. This case is serious, but the subject matter is truly laughable. In early 2008, Colorado College's "Feminist and Gender Studies Interns" distributed a flyer called "The Monthly Rag."

As of June 1, 2012, organic products certified in the United States or European Union may now be sold as organic in either market, under a new U.S.-EU equivalency partnership.
Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan signed formal letters creating the partnership in February, along with the European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, and Ambassador Isi Siddiqui, U.S. Trade Representative Chief Agricultural Negotiator.
Previously, producers and companies wanting to trade products on both sides of the Atlantic had to obtain separate certifications to two standards, which resulted in a double set of fees, inspections, and paperwork. The partnership existing now eliminates these significant barriers, which is especially helpful for small and medium-sized organic farmers. During negotiations, both parties conducted thorough on-site audits to ensure that their programs' regulations, quality control measures, certification requirements and labeling practices were compatible.
"This agreement provides economic opportunities for certified organic farmers as well as additional incentives for prospective farmers," said Miles McEvoy, National Organic Program Deputy Administrator.
McEvoy who will speak at ASTA's 129th Annual Convention in the Organic Seed Committee added that he looks forward to working with his European Union counterparts to support organic agriculture.
The United States and the European Union will continue to have regular discussions and review each other's programs periodically to verify that the terms of the partnership are being met.
The arrangement covers products exported from and certified in the United States or the European Union only. All products traded under the partnership must be shipped with an organic import certificate, which shows the location where production occurred, identifies the organization that certified the organic product, and verifies that growers and handlers did not use prohibited substances and methods.
In addition to certifying that the terms of the partnership were met, the certificates also allow traded products to be tracked. Both parties are committed to ensuring that products traded under the agreement retain their organic integrity from farm to market. The European Commission's Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development and the USDA National Organic Program-which oversees all U.S. organic products-will take on key oversight roles.
USDA has continued to expand markets for American goods abroad, worked aggressively to break down barriers to trade and assisted U.S. businesses with the resources needed to reach consumers around the world. U.S. agriculture is currently experiencing one of its best periods in history thanks to the productivity and resourcefulness of our producers.
Overall, American agriculture supports 1 in 12 jobs in the United States and provides American consumers with 83 percent of the food we consume, while maintaining affordability and choice. Strong agricultural exports contribute to a positive U.S. trade balance, create jobs and boost economic growth.
For additional details on the trade partnership, please visit http://www.ams.usda.gov/NOPTradeEuropeanUnion or contact the National Organic Program at 202-720-3252.

Now that the election is really (really) over, the producers of "Laffing Matterz" can finalize their dinner theater show.
The musical comedy revue opens its seventh season tonight in the Abdo New River Room in the Broward Center for the Performing Arts with the usual lampooning of news headlines in a supper club setting. Speaking before last week's election, the dynamic duo Mark and Rita Wells explain how they were in a holding pattern with a few skits.
"There are at least two big numbers that are kind of twisting in the wind until we see what is happening [with the election]," says Mark, "But that happens a lot anyway. And sometimes we end up pulling a number if it's not getting a response. Always the audience is the barometer that tells us what is funny and what is not."
But they both agree that this election, in particular, is good funny fodder.
"The show revolves around what is going on in the news, so we obviously had a good year for stuff," explains Rita. "And there is a lot of Florida type of humor. It's a cross between like a 'Saturday Night Live' and a musical."
So this time around expect satirical songs on: a slimmed-down Paula Deen; "Dancing with the Stars;" Ambien antics; "50 Shades of Grey" and Anderson Cooper coming out.
"We do a take on cosmetic surgery," adds Mark. "We've got Katie Holmes being chased by Scientologist. We've got a song about erectile dysfunction. There's one with Arnold Schwarzenegger and some children he's fathered that he doesn't know about. [There is] a good way-out-there number about Chick-fil-A. That's the envelope-pusher this year."
Dinner theater is nothing new for the Wells. They met while performing at the now-defunct Crystal Palace in Aspen, Colorado. "That's when I started doing political and social satire up there," says Mark. "I went to the London Academy, so I came back to the U.S. a classically trained guy. I was used to playing that one part from beginning to end. This is more like Monty Python where you see a guy three or four times and each time he's a different person. It's more like Vaudeville really."
But the couple was looking for a place they could call home and exercise their new satirical skit skills.
"We wanted to be in a city where we could actually buy a house," says Rita, who graduated Magna Cum Laude from SUNY Fredonia. "Believe me, that wasn't happening in Aspen. We came here and we were originally in the old McCrory's building downtown [August, 2005]. We were there for three years and then the economy bottomed out. We call it our recession break. Then Broward Center called [October, 2009] and said, 'We've got a room and you've got a show.' We wanted [to stay here] because you really need a good metro area to feed off of as well as tourism."
The show now has three writers and 12 performers. "Some of the cast write for themselves," says Mark. "We try to wait a month before we go into rehearsal. We had a song about Prince Harry when he was in Vegas and went bananas and we tossed it because it was too long ago."
Rita adds, "We have two news sections in the show that we can change weekly to nightly. We try to keep that super topical."
"Laffing Matterz" runs Thursdays through Sundays until May 12, 2013. Dinner starts at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays and at 4:30 p.m. on Sundays. Prices range from $59 to $65. Reservations can be made by calling 954-462-0222 or visiting BrowardCenter.org. The Broward Center is at 201 S.W. 5th Avenue in Fort Lauderdale.

US girl, 8, witnesses mother's murder
KENTON, Ohio (AP) — Recordings of police calls captured the last moments of a woman and the panic of the 8-year-old girl who witnessed her mother's fatal stabbing and the suicide of the man who killed her.
In a call fielded Tuesday by the Sheriff's Office in Ohio, Teresa Nelson reported that her ex-boyfriend, Justin Manns, was banging on her door and threatening to kill himself on her porch. She is heard telling him: "You literally scare me."
The dispatcher told Nelson officers were on the way, but about five minutes into the call Mann broke into the house. Nelson, 28, is heard telling her 8-year-old daughter to go into another room.
"He's kicking in my door!" Nelson told the dispatcher before she began screaming. "Oh my god, he's got me by the hair! He stabbed me! ... He's stabbing me!"
The call disconnected during the attack. Shortly after, the dispatcher called back and got Nelson's daughter. She was hiding in the bedroom with her grandmother.
"He stabbed her," the crying girl told the dispatcher. "I'm scared."
The girl clearly answers questions from the dispatcher, who tells her help is on the way.
"Are they almost here?" she asked. "Will you pick me up?"
The sheriff's office said the girl is now safe with relatives.
"Children's services is helping us see that she gets whatever she needs," Sheriff Keith Everhart told The Columbus Dispatch.

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

Did Nothing Foolish: My First DNF
It was bound to happen.
Six years of ultrarunning, and not one DNF. I was proud of that fact, but rarely spoke about it out loud for fear of jinxing myself. I had some close calls---The Ring in 2004 and MMT100 in 2005 are the two races where I remember wanting badly to drop because of low energy, but with the help of loyal friends Gary Knipling and Mike Broderick, I was able to finish both. Western States in 2006 was a potential DNF because of the record heat that year, but I came in under the wire with 45 minutes to spare, thanks to my great pacer Gretchen Garnett, who kicked my butt for the last 40 miles.
Up until last Tuesday, I had no reason to believe that I couldn't finish Bull Run Run 50 in under 9:00, my best time on that course. I had trained hard and smart and was well-rested. But in anticipation of the heat and humidity that was in the weather forecast, I spent too much time in the steam room at the gym on Monday, and became dehydrated. On Tuesday I went out for my usual easy run and felt a pull in my calf during the first 5 minutes of the run. I tried to run through it and it got progressively worse, so I ended up walking back to the gym, dejected and worried, but optimistic that with rest, I would be fine for race day on Saturday.
After 4 days of rest, ice, compression, elevation and Aleve, I felt fine walking around on Friday. At the start of the race on Saturday, I had all but forgotten about the calf, at least until the first half mile, when suddenly, I felt it tighten. "Oh, no" was all I could say to myself. I spent the next 20 miles debating whether I should keep going or drop out. It didn't get too much worse but...it was THERE. I couldn't get into my race groove, and despite running under my splits from 2006 and feeling great otherwise, I could feel my achilles tighten as well as my hamstring. I knew it wasn't going to hold up for the entire 50 miles, so after some intense conversations with myself, I called it a day at mile 20.
As soon as I sat down and plopped a bag of ice under my calf at the Marina aid station, I knew I had made the right decision. I had a great time cheering on the other runners, meeting other crew members, and watching the aid station chaos (one thing that I noticed was how long most runners stay at the aid stations, even those without a crew...it seemed like 5-10 minutes for some folks!). After an hour of this frivolity, I walked the 4.5 miles back to the start/finish via the trail. It was really nice to take it slow, enjoy the bluebells along the trail, cheer on those in the back of the pack, and plan my rehab and recovery. Despite my disappointment, I was grateful for the time spent on the trail at BRR and for the fact that there will be another race to run...hopefully at Promise Land 50K in two weeks. When I got back to the start/finish, I spent the rest of the day cheering for the finishers and hanging out with my VHTRC friends Linda and Kerry:
(photo by Anstr Davidson)
Tonight, I got an email from a fellow runner whom I met at the Marina. He had noticed my bag of ice and heard me lamenting my first DNF to the aid station workers. In his email, he reminded me that DNF can also mean "Did Nothing Foolish", and wished me well.
Thanks, Devon. As hard as it was to admit that my body wasn't up to the task, I know I made the right choice. Sigh...another ultra lesson learned!

Sounds like you made the wise choice. Hope the calf heals up soon so that you can do well at Promise Land. Hope to see you at MMT - maybe I will be in a better mood this time.

Hi Sophie....
Good to get that off your back, as you know i have absolutely "no" problem dropping if everything isn't going well. I like to save it for another day and it sounds like you did just that!
Good luck with the calf and the rest of your racing season,

Morgan and Patel set for axe
England will not take their Test series in New Zealand lightly with a full-strength squad expected to be named on Thursday for the three matches in March although not all the players who were on duty in India will earn another trip.
The selectors covered many bases with their squad for the India series, which ended up consisting of 19 players after the addition of Kevin Pietersen, Stuart Meaker for a period and later James Tredwell to the party. The squad for New Zealand is set to be a more streamlined 15 names so there will be fewer reserves kicking their heels on the sidelines.
From the original players included for the India tour, Eoin Morgan and Samit Patel are the likely ones to be disappointed this time. Joe Root's impressive Test debut, and continued emergence as an international cricketer, will earn him a run at No. 6 while Nick Compton, although he did not make the major score to make his place impregnable, did enough to warrant at least the three matches in New Zealand.
Jonny Bairstow is expected to be available again following his compassionate leave which means he will return for the T20s and ODIs then provide the batting and wicketkeeping back-up in the Test squad. Bairstow's stock has fallen a little since he replaced Pietersen against South Africa at Lord's, where he made 94 and 54, now finding himself behind Root.
Morgan and Patel will remain fringe Test players. Morgan has stated his desire to return to the longer format, but also said he would assess his IPL commitments when his short-term future in the side was clearer. Omission from this Test squad puts him well down the pecking order again and he may well decide on another lengthy spell in India.
Patel was always likely to be a horses-for-courses selection. England began the India tour wanting someone to provide a fifth-bowling option to balance the side, but it soon became clear his left-arm spin was not Test standard and he sent down fewer overs as the series progressed. Neither did he fully take his chance with the bat, albeit he was on the end of a couple of rough decisions, and further scores of 26 and 33 were not sufficient.
The bowling attack is set to consist of familiar names although the third-seamer's slot in the final XI remains up for grabs. Tim Bresnan will be able to count himself fortunate to travel after a barren second half to 2012. Since the start of the South Africa series he has two Test wickets at 210 apiece. There is a strong case to have a look at one of the younger pace bowlers - Meaker, Chris Woakes or James Harris - but that does not appear to be the approach.
Bresnan, Stuart Broad and Graham Onions will again be competing to support James Anderson and Steven Finn. Broad has ground to make up after a troubled tour of India and his performances in the preceding one-day games could well have a bearing. Onions is the type of bowler who could flourish in New Zealand but will have only one warm-up game to press his case.
Monty Panesar, who sparked England's revival in India, will have to be content with a back-up role again behind Graeme Swann.
Probable England squad Alastair Cook (capt), Nick Compton, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Matt Prior, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Steven Finn, Graham Onions, Monty Panesar

My grandfather would have loved the heat wave we're having, if for no other reason than it would give him cause to unleash his endless arsenal of "It's hotter than…" sayings.
You know, "It's hotter than a firecracker lit on both ends." Or, "It's hotter than the devil dancing in frying pan." Or even, "hotter than a billy goat in pepper patch," which I guess would be pretty hot, although admittedly some of Gramps' sayings translated better than others between generations.
See also: Summer Cooling Costs and Older Households
I recently wrote about ways to stay cool – and save money – without cranking up the air conditioning, but with record setting heat engulfing much of the U.S., occasionally even a cheapskate needs to breakdown and turn on the AC. When you do resort to air conditioning, you can reduce operating costs by following these simple tips:
- Shade your condenser or window unit if at all possible, perhaps with an overhead awning or shade tree, and that alone could reduce energy consumption by as much as 10 percent. At the same time, don't restrict airflow directly around the unit with shrubs, debris, enclosures, etc., as that increases electricity use.
- Clean or replace your air conditioner's filter once a month when it's in use. You can buy "permanent filters" at home improvement stores that can easily be cleaned with a garden hose and reused. For whole house units, it pays to have a service professional clean and tune up your equipment at the start of the cooling season.
- Install programmable thermostats to control whole house air conditioners or simple automatic plugin timers to turn window units on and off automatically based on your schedule. Cool only those spaces you're using, when you're using them, by closing off rooms when not in use and/or closing the registers.
- For whole house AC, inspect the ductwork carefully and seal any seams or gaps (with "duct tape," of course). In older homes, 20 percent or more of the cold air could be escaping through leaky ductwork before it reaches the intended living space. Installing weather stripping and caulking gaps around windows and doors can save you big time on both cooling and heating costs.
- Consider replacing older air conditioners with more energy efficient models. Air conditioners available today (look for those with an "Energy Star" certification) typically use 30 – 50 percent less energy than those manufactured in the 1990's, so the cost of investing in new equipment can often be recouped relatively quickly in savings on your electric bills.
Here's wishing you an enjoyable summer, even though it's hotter out there than a preacher man standing in the devil's kitchen… or was he standing in a pepper patch?

WASHINGTON (AP) – Washington chef Jose Andres is joining the city's food truck craze by rolling out Spanish dishes from a new mobile eatery called Pepe.
Pepe, a nickname for Jose, is a silver food truck that will serve Washington and also host private events with Andres' company ThinkFoodGroup. It began serving food this week.
Pepe will offer a rotation of Spanish sandwiches called flautas that are rolled with layers of ingredients. They will include a pork burger, fried chicken, veggie options and a Spanish grilled cheese, as well as soups and dessert.
The food truck will also offer patatas bravas, fried potato chips that are popular in Spain, and non-alcoholic cocktails.
