One issue arising from the discovery of BSE in the U.S. that I've had trouble reconciling is USDA's stance on private testing. The issue has become even less clear as U.S. negotiators continue to grant concessions to different markets in order to regain access for U.S. beef.
Creekstone Farms® Premium Beef, LLC, of Arkansas City, KS, petitioned USDA in spring 2004 to allow it to conduct its own BSE testing program, with USDA oversight.
Creekstone Farms produces Natural Black Angus Beef™ and Premium Black Angus Beef™, branded products it readily admits -- due to their price -- aren't products for everyone. The firm, which harvests 1,050 head/day, strives to add value to every piece of meat. It was the first U.S. beef processor to receive USDA's Process Verification for Tender Beef.
Creekstone's hope, though Japan officially has never backed it, was that its "product enhancement" of voluntary testing would allow it a chance to get back into the lucrative Japanese market. The Japan market made up a good chunk of Creekstone's business before BSE was discovered in the U.S. in late 2003.
At that time, Japan had in place a policy of testing all its domestic cattle at harvest. It's a step Japan's government was forced to take in its panic to salvage consumer confidence following its bungling of Japan's domestic BSE crisis, which hit in the fall of 2001 and has thus far churned up 26 cases.
Japan's government overplayed its hand, however, telling consumers BSE-tested beef was safe to eat, and non-tested beef was suspect. Of course, that flies in the face of all the science and internationally accepted standards.
USDA, however, turned down Creekstone's testing request, claiming only it has the legal authority to control access to, and use of, BSE testing kits. Voluntary testing, the agency contends, would undermine its official position, which is that U.S. beef is safe. In March 2006, Creekstone responded by filing a civil suit.
But why can't Creekstone's desire to test for BSE be interpreted as just free-market entrepreneurship -- simple product differentiation? If BSE testing is a feature Creekstone's customers want, free enterprise should allow it. How does this type of product differentiation differ from specified regimes for animal handling, portion control, tenderness, etc.?
About 20 years ago, the U.S. beef industry was in an uproar over what an upstart called Coleman Natural Beef was trying to do. Of course, Coleman was billing its beef as the product of "chemical-free cattle," which industry leaders thought would taint conventional cattle raised with the use of antibiotics and growth promotants.
By the way, Creekstone has never tried to draw such a food-safety distinction between tested and non-tested beef, publicly professing that all U.S. beef as safe.
As potentially injurious as some in the industry felt Coleman Natural's promotion program would be, its advent didn't destroy the conventional market. And, while that segment has since grown considerably, with every major packer now offering a "natural" line, it never will overtake conventional beef. What it has done, however, is attract folks who wouldn't otherwise be eating beef.
Of course, those opposed to private testing would say private companies shouldn't undermine U.S. trade positions. And though the U.S. has stood fast in its resolve that countries adhere to international standards for BSE, as set by the OIE, very few seem to actually do it.
In fact, of the countries that restarted beef trade with the U.S. since its suspension in 2003, just about all of them are doing so under a unique package of rules negotiated specifically to get that market reopened.
Further, 17 years after the European Union (EU) banned U.S. beef due to the use of growth promotants -- something all the science says is safe -- that ban is still in place. And it remains in place despite the fact the U.S. complaint succeeded before the World Trade Organization. Today, USDA even provides non-hormone certification for U.S. firms wishing to ship such beef to EU-approved plants. Creekstone is among them.
With all that's transpired on this trade issue, it really is high time USDA rethink its position on private testing and allow free enterprise and entrepreneurship to work.

Not only are these cute cat cupcakes fun to make, your guest will love that they get to eat a double-decker cupcake. That's right, these cuties are made with two cupcakes, one on top of the other.
They are very easy to make. Just stack two cupcakes bottom to bottom and there you have it.
You will need:
- 2 cupcakes per cat
- Frosting
- Candy corn
- Candy eyes
- Toothpicks or Licorice strings
What to Do:
- After cupcakes are thoroughly cooled, slice off the rounded top of one cupcake. This will be inverted on the plate so you will have a flat bottom.
- Put a dab of frosting on the bottom (now the top) and set another cupcake on top of it.
- Frost the entire double-decker cupcake, then add candy corn ears, nose and teeth.
- Set candy eyes in place.
- Add whiskers using toothpicks or some licorice strings.
- For extra fun, add felt pieces to set the cats on.

Vulnerability to Political Change
Some authorizers report that they operate in a climate of political vulnerability. In Chicago, New York, and Indianapolis, for example, the effort to open quality new schools is driven by high-level political leaders. Chicago's mayor, the CEO of Chicago Public Schools, and the chancellor of the NYC Public Schools all have tied their political fortunes to their respective new schools initiatives through frequent media appearances and public efforts to personally recruit high-quality organizations to open schools. In Indianapolis, the mayor has launched the charter schools effort from his own office, thereby taking full responsibility for the schools and their results. If any of these elected officials loses a future election or—in the case of the CEO and chancellor—is replaced, there is a danger that the charter school reform effort could collapse under new leadership.
In a very direct way, the political vulnerability that these offices operate under acts as a powerful incentive. Staff members cannot afford complacency— they need to recruit and approve strong schools that get measurable results—and they need to promote their successes widely to gain public support for their work. To varying degrees, this pressure also encourages staff members to institutionalize their processes as much as possible so they are less vulnerable to future leadership change. The authorizing staff in Indianapolis, for example, has worked hard to publicize its schools' successes so that the charter school initiative has strong public support no matter who the next mayor is, and regardless of how committed to charter schools he or she might be. They also have developed a series of handbooks outlining how to implement various processes to ensure continuity for the schools.
According to these authorizers, political pressure is desirable to the extent that it motivates them to improve their practices. It is also desirable to the extent that it reflects the wishes of the broader public. But research and experience suggest that the most common barriers to meritbased authorizing decisions are political—such as those arising from influential community groups that have a weak charter application but think they have a good idea, or from administrators who do not want to upset parents by closing a school, or from parents who want to keep "their" school open, regardless of its performance. Even if these particular authorizers have not fallen prey to such problems, policymakers should consider ways to minimize the power that their specialized influences can exert if they destabilize authorizers' policies and threaten their ability to make merit-based decisions. Policymakers also should consider the amount of time and money these offices spend building public and political support for their initiatives. According to these authorizers, when staff members have to spend an inordinate amount of time responding to the concerns of special interest groups, it compromises their own internal practices.
Authorizers that operate transparently—sharing both their decisions and their processes with the public—may be more insulated from these types of pressures. It is difficult for opponents to argue against hard evidence of a school's success or failure, for example. Specialized committees, such as California's Advisory Commission on Charter Schools, that make recommendations to the final decision-maker also give the public a voice while helping to ensure that an authorizing office and its successful charter schools are less vulnerable to political change.
In addition to protecting individual authorizers from disruptive politics, policymakers also can insulate the state's overall system of authorizing. By empowering a diverse set of authorizers with different kinds of political and institutional bases, several of the states where the authorizers profiled in this guide are located have established systems in which high-quality authorizing is likely to endure even if political change affects the work of one particular authorizer.

So...What The Heck Are You Supposed To Wear Under Sheer Skirts, Tops & Dresses? We'v Got You Covered
You know the sheer trend is chic and here to stay, at least for a few seasons anyway, but do you know how the heck to wear it without getting arrested for public indecency? A tricky matter, that!
What looks good on the runway may not necessarily play in real life (call me crazy, but I tend not to want to flash my nipples to strangers on New York City streets). You want to look equal parts feminine and edgy when you wear sheer fabrics, not like a Pamela Anderson impersonator. So what the heck are you actually supposed to wear under all of those pieces? Behold, a primer, culled from extensive personal experience of trial and error.
SHEER SKIRTS: An extended hemline may suffice on the runway, like it did at Chloé for spring 2011, but the real world requires real coverage. I've found that the best solution for this is simply another skirt. Make your sheer layer a maxi, and add a more fitted mini underneath. If you opt for a striped skirt under a light color outer layer, it adds a really cool layer of depth to your outfit. Oh, and confession: I've totally used a stretchy tube top around my waist in a pinch, and it works like a charm!__
SHEER DRESSES: Things get a bit more complicated when it comes to dresses. Alberta Ferretti's models may be comfortable sporting glorified skivvies under their sheer frocks, but I've got a much better secret weapon to prevent against overexposure: Gap Body's nightgowns! They're about the simplest undergarments you can buy, and they come in all of your basic neutrals--plus they're as comfortable as all get-out. If you don't want to invest in one, pair a plain cotton cami with a matching skirt, or wear your favorite convertible all-in-one dress as a strapless:
SHEER BLOUSES: This is the easiest category to wear, so if you're timid about the sheer trend, start here. Valentino's models left little to the imagination, but we've got modesty to protect, which is why I'm obsessed with American Apparel's bandeau tops for this purpose. There's no mistaking them for lingerie, and they come in a gajillion different colors, which can be fun to mix and match (sheer beige top + neon pink bandeau = brilliance!). I'll also let you in on a little secret here--sometimes your bandeau-style swimsuit tops can be just as useful! Shh, don't tell a soul...
What do you think, ladies? Are you feeling more empowered to test out the sheer trend? Do you like my little tips and tricks for what to wear underneath? What do you use? Discuss!

Startup Visa Act Introduced In The Senate
from the great-news dept
In the fall, venture capitalist Brad Feld felt compelled to try to get actual political support for the idea (now called the "startup visa" rather than the "founder's visa") and in just a few months has succeeded in at least getting Senators Kerry and Lugar (bipartisan support, which is good) to introduce the Startup Visa Act in the Senate. You can read the text of the bill (pdf).
While I'm still a huge supporter of the concept of the startup visa, I'm still a bit concerned that the focus is only on supporting entrepreneurs who have taken a certain amount of venture capital money. There could be unintended consequences with that, in forcing immigrant entrepreneurs to take venture capital that they don't need just to secure their visas. The risk, then, is that immigrant entrepreneurs become way too dependent on their VCs. One of the great things about the startup world today is that capital requirements have changed for many types of startups, and the ability to bootstrap a startup has increased greatly -- but bootstrappers aren't welcome under the startup visa. I've been told that this was a political necessity, and including some sort of venture capital "sponsor" was the only way this bill would move forward -- so hopefully this passes, but further changes are made later to account for the fact that not all startups need venture money, and without forcing an entrepreneur into taking money from someone just to get his or her visa.

Sorta in the style of a 70s/80s revenge movie trailer with Dino Winwood talking it up in his great movie trailer voice. I am pretty disappointed that I wasn't able to get that done, I think people would have really liked it. Maybe that will be something for the future though.

Consistent with the Seattle University School of Law mission of preparing students who are committed to contributing to the common good by shaping an equitable legal system, Seattle University School of Law has established a Loan Repayment Assistance Program ("LRAP" or "the program"). The LRAP is designed to provide financial assistance to graduates who accept lower paying public interest employment but who require assistance repaying high educational loan debt.
For those graduates who take traditionally low-paying public interest positions and have substantial educational debt, Seattle University School of Law will lend eligible applicants an estimated $3,000.00 each in LRAP funds to help meet the repayment of specified law school loans. If the graduate remains in qualifying public interest employment for at least one year after receipt of the loan and maintains applicable student loans in good standing, the loan made by the Law School will be forgiven. Applicants may apply annually for a total of five years of LRAP funding.
Neither the existence of the program nor the formula used by the program is guaranteed. The program may be adjusted as the program budget, participation rate and indebtedness of participants change. Participants may receive more or less funding in succeeding years. Limited funding is allotted by awarding the same percentage to eligible, on-time applicants.
The advantage of a loan repayment forgiveness program over a grant program may be that the payments to the recipients are not taxable as income. Under current law, IRS Code section 108(f) has been interpreted to exempt from taxation student loans that are canceled for citizens in public service employment. It is recommended that recipients consult a tax advisor.
LRAP is premised upon assisting graduates who choose full time public interest legal careers and are licensed attorneys. We define Public Interest Law as work using legal skills that is intended to:
Private sector work generally is not considered public interest work, nor is pro bono work at private firms. However, private firms that provide substantial public interest work may be considered on a case by case basis.
Government employees, prosecutors and district attorneys, judicial clerks, the self-employed, employees of Seattle University and members of the military are not eligible for this program.
The Irving C. Paul Loan Forgiveness Fund provides funds for eligible graduates who are employed as public defenders. Recent graduates must be employed full-time doing public defense in either the public or private sector and meet all other LRAP qualifications.
Length of service in qualified employment may be considered as a factor in determining qualified applicants.
Final determination of qualifying employment will be made by the LRAP committee.
Only Seattle University School of Law graduates may apply for the LRAP; students may not apply until they have graduated and are licensed attorneys.
The LRAP program is open to all eligible Seattle University School of Law graduates. All eligibility requirements pertain regardless of graduation date. The funding is for the application year only and is not retroactive.
Ordinarily, graduates must begin and maintain public interest employment directly out of law school, with the exception that graduates are extended eligibility until immediately after completion of judicial clerkships, fellowships, parental leave, or other comparable factors.
If available, graduates must first take advantage of other LRAP programs (e.g., federal, employer and state programs).
Eligible law school debt cannot exceed the total institutional cost of attendance for the applicant's in-school years (with the exception of a bar loan, if applicable). The "total institutional cost of attendance" is set by the Law School at the start of each academic year, and includes tuition, books, and living expenses.
LRAP awards are intended to assist in the repayment of loans for law school expenses that were disbursed under institutionally approved and certified loan programs, including federal Stafford loans (both subsidized and unsubsidized), federal Perkins loans, federal Grad PLUS and supplemental private loans. These supplemental private loans will be included only if the budget for the program allows, after first taking account of Stafford and Perkins loans.
Personal loans from banks or from family members, and credit card and consumer debt are not covered by LRAP, even when used to finance legal education. Other loans not covered are commercially available educational loans not certified by Student Financial Services, including Direct to Consumer loans, and loans taken out by parents to finance a student's education.
For joint-degree programs, only the Law School portion of the joint-degree debt is covered.
The LRAP does not cover educational indebtedness from undergraduate education or from any other graduate education.
The qualifying income limit is a maximum of $54,000 annually.
Income to be included for purposes of LRAP benefits calculation includes adjusted gross income (AGI) as determined by the required year federal IRS tax form, plus any untaxed income and voluntary retirement contributions. The calculation allows the same deduction for dependents as allowed on the applicant's income tax return. Consideration for other deductions (such as medical) must be reflected on Schedule A of IRS 1040. LRAP reserves the right to adjust eligibility as it sees fit, due to significant assets.
In the case of married graduates, the income figure used for calculations will be either the graduate's income or one-half of the joint income, whichever is higher. In the event that both parties are eligible for LRAP, their income and debt will be treated separately, or as one-half of the total income and debt for each spouse.
Income documentation includes the federal IRS tax form for the required year and income verification from current employer.
The income maximum will be reviewed periodically. Factors considered in adjusting the income ceiling of $54,000 are the inflation rate and the average starting salary at public interest agencies.

Promissory note due
LRAP funds disbursed
If a participant works in qualifying employment within the LRAP guidelines for at least one year after the June funding is disbursed and maintains all applicable student loans in good standing, the participant's LRAP loan will be forgiven after June 30 the following year. Prior to loan forgiveness, the participant must verify that they have remained in qualified public interest work and that their educational loans have remained in good standing by submitting a LRAP Employer Certification for Forgiveness Form and LRAP Lender Verification for Forgiveness Forms.
If a participant exits the program because they discontinue qualified employment, the LRAP loan must be paid back in full. However, if a participant remains in qualified employment for at least six months, a percentage of the loan must be returned and a portion will be partially forgiven.
Although current law has been interpreted to exempt taxation on forgivable student loans for public service employment, the receipt of an LRAP loan may create taxable income in the year of receipt or in the year that any loan amount is forgiven. Recipients are encouraged to consult with a tax expert to determine their tax liability throughout the program.
If a participating graduate ceases to be eligible for the LRAP program, a percentage of the LRAP loans must be repaid depending upon what time frame the participant leaves the program. All participants who owe a percentage or all of their LRAP loans are under a legal obligation to repay these loans to Seattle University School of Law based upon their signed promissory note.
The interest rate during repayment will be set quarterly (January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1) at the One Month LIBOR rate plus 3.5%.
Participants who are no longer eligible and neglect to repay their LRAP loan as required may be assigned to a collection agency. Participants will be liable for the original balance of their loan, any interest fees charged by the University and all fees in relation to the collection of the debt.
A participant in LRAP may request in writing, with appropriate documentation, a leave of absence of up to two years for maternity and parental leave, relocation, further legal education, disability or other such purpose as approved by the LRAP committee. Those leaving public interest work for private sector employment do not qualify for a leave, and will be required to begin repayment of their LRAP loans. The graduate who has been granted a leave will not be eligible for a program loan during the leave, but LRAP loans received prior to an approved leave need not enter repayment. Interest will not accrue on the LRAP loan during an approved leave period. If the participant does not return to the program within two years, the LRAP loans not eligible for forgiveness become payable.
Graduates may enter a loan consolidation program, but LRAP benefits will only contribute for a maximum of five years. Benefits may be calculated based upon the actual monthly payment amount under consolidation.
All participants in the LRAP must be current on their loan payments and have no outstanding balance on a Seattle University account. Default and delinquency will disqualify an applicant from participating and will terminate any further assistance for that participant.
The Business Office and Student Financial Services shall administer the LRAP program.
The Dean, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, and the Assistant Dean for Student Financial Services set the policy for the program. Major changes to the program will be reviewed by the Director of the Center for Professional Development, the faculty advisor of the Public Interest Law Foundation (PILF), a student representative who is a PILF member, and the Access to Justice Institute Director.
The LRAP committee shall consist of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, the Associate Dean for Finance and Administration, the PILF faculty advisor, the Assistant Dean for Student Financial Services, the Director of the Center for Professional Development, the Access to Justice Institute Director, and may include an alumni representative at the appointment of the Dean.
LRAP funding includes but is not limited to the following sources:
Graduates must apply for a loan each year, for a maximum of five years of LRAP funding, by the April 1 deadline date. Award amounts are subject to the availability of funds and the number of applicants eligible for an award in each award period.
The LRAP application requires the following:
The selection criteria include, but are not limited to, the following:
Decisions made by the LRAP committee are final.
Participants must apply every year by the deadline. Once admitted to the program, it is the responsibility of the graduate to re-apply each year for renewal and provide updated information. Prior LRAP recipients do not receive priority in the selection process.
The Business Office will distribute LRAP funds. Loan funds will be disbursed on or about June 30 of the qualifying year. Recipients must sign an annual promissory note.
This publication is intended for the guidance of Seattle University School of Law administration, students and faculty. It sets forth in general the manner in which the Law School intends to proceed with respect to the LRAP program, but the University reserves the right to depart without notice from the terms of this publication. This publication is not intended to be and should not be regarded as a contract.

No. Al has been playing pretty well... he's been a bit streaky, but just look at his numbers. S-Jax is reliable. He's certainly better than Dun was for us. And Powell, in a limited role, has been a nice add-on to the trade.

You're still basking in the afterglow of the trade.
You know, I think MP should have a spot on the rotation, but that's all. I think he adds different things than the other players we have on the roster... but he also makes a lot of stupid mistakes. It's true that he's not the only one that makes them, but still... he's got a lot more experience than Monta, and that's why everybody expects more from him.
I pretty much agree with TMC... except for the draft picks part. Don't forget, Mully drafted Biedrins, Monta, AND Pietrus (who have all been good role players lately). O'Bryant is still a project, but if Mullin's track record is any indication, he'll be a good one.

2 hospitalized after Southwest Airlines flight
Two people were injured on a Southwest Airlines flight that arrived shortly at 7:40 a.m. Thursday at Houston's Hobby Airport.
A 70-year-old man had a possible cardiac arrest on the flight. He was receiving CPR when the plane landed, said Capt. Ruy Lozano with the Houston Fire Department.
A 24-year-old woman had a head injury. HFD did not know the cause of her head injury, Lozano said.
HFD took both people to an area hospital.
The flight -- Southwest Airlines flight 223 -- was coming from Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina.

Vatican City, Feb 24, 2013 / 01:12 pm (CNA).- Pope Benedict XVI's successor will soon be elected during a conclave, a secret vote of cardinals that will occur in the Vatican's Sistine Chapel next month.
The number of cardinal-electors, who will travel to Rome from across the globe, is limited to 120, and only those cardinals who are not yet 80 are allowed to vote in the conclave.
Conclaves are events of "the strictest secrecy," to preserve the impartiality of proceedings. Cardinal-electors must "promise, pledge and swear...to maintain rigorous secrecy" about everything in any way related to the election of the Pope, according to John Paul II's 1996 apostolic constitution "Universi Dominici Gregis."
The cardinals are not allowed to communicate with those outside the area of the election. Only a limited number of masters of ceremonies and priests are allowed to be present, as are two medical doctors. The cardinal-electors stay at "Saint Martha's House," a guest house adjacent to St. Peter's Basilica.
While the papacy is vacant, all the heads of the Roman Curia lose their office, except the Camerlengo – who administers Church finances and property – and the Major Penitentiary, who deals with issues of absolution and indulgences.
The conclave begins with the votive Mass for the election of the Pope in St. Peter's Basilica. The cardinals then invoke the assistance of the Holy Spirit, and enter the Sistine Chapel.
A well-trusted priest presents the cardinals with a meditation on the problems facing the Church and the need for discernment, "concerning the grave duty incumbent on them and thus on the need to act with right intention for the good of the Universal Church, having only God before their eyes."
The priest who offered the meditation then leaves the Sistine Chapel, and the voting process begins.
John Paul II allowed for a simple majority for a valid election, but Pope Benedict's "Constitutione apostolica" returned to the long-standing tradition of a two-thirds majority.
Each cardinal writes his choice for Pope on a piece of paper which is folded in two. The ballots are then counted, double-checked, and burned. The voting process continues until one candidate has received two-thirds of the ballots.
When the ballots of an inconclusive vote are burned, the smoke is made black. If the vote elected a Pope, it is white; and at the 2005 conclave, the bells of St. Peter's were rung in addition, upon the election of Pope Benedict.
John Paul II exhorted that the one elected not refuse, "for fear of its weight, the office to which he has been called, but to submit humbly to the design of the divine will. God who imposes the burden will sustain him with his hand, so that he will be able to bear it."
"In conferring the heavy task upon him, God will also help him to accomplish it and, in giving him the dignity, he will grant him the strength not to be overwhelmed by the weight of his office."
The man elected is immediately the Bishop of Rome upon his acceptance, assuming he has already been consecrated a bishop. One of the cardinals announce to the public that the election has taken place, and the new Pontiff gives a blessing from the balcony of the Vatican Basilica.
Pope Benedict will resign at 8 p.m. on Feb. 28, and at that time there will be 117 cardinal-electors. Under current law, the conclave must begin between March 15 and 20. Of the 117 cardinal-electors, 67 – more than half – were appointed by Pope Benedict.
The conclave as the means of selecting the Pope has a long tradition in the Church, yet it can be changed.
Current law governing how conclaves work is found in John Paul II's 1996 apostolic constitution "Universi Dominici Gregis," and it was modified by Pope Benedict's 2007 motu proprio "Constitutione apostolica."
Under current law, the conclave cannot begin before 15 days after the moment the Holy See is vacant, so as to wait for the absent cardinal-electors to arrive. It must begin within 20 days of the vacancy.
It was announced Feb. 20 that Pope Benedict is considering releasing a motu proprio before his abdication that would allow the conclave electing his successor to begin before March 15.
Recent conclaves have concluded quickly. Pope Benedict was himself elected in a 2005 conclave that lasted only two days. John Paul II was elected in 1978 after a three-day long conclave.

"I'm going to say to those people who say build a fence, 'Come with me when I go to Texas, and I tell the ranchers and the mayors that they may not like it but they're going to get some fencing'. When people say enforce the law in the interior, I'm going to say 'Come with me when we do conduct enforcement operations, and we have to put people in detention and remove them'."How incredibly lame. The Secretary of Homeland Security doesn't like upsetting people who disagree with the laws he's sworn to enforce, so he's going to drag his feet? And he actually has the audacity to say so?
Imagine John Walters balking in the campaign to remove hard drugs from the urban core because the dealers find his initiatives to be bad for business.
Or Robert Mueller whining about how upset members of terrorist cells in the US would be if they found out the Bureau was trying to infiltrate them.
Think if, after calling the police to check out the loud party going on across the street while the parents are out of town, an officer shows up at your door complaining that he doesn't want to approach the kids because they're going to be mad if he makes them turn down the music or confiscates their kegs.
My job's tough. It's hard work, really hard work. Some people don't like the things I do in my hard work. I don't want to do it anymore. If it's that important to you, you do it. But don't try to help me do it, you vigilante!
What a crybaby.

Experts in land design, retail centers and mixed-use developments from across the region will convene in Boulder on Jan. 20 for an intensive, one-day panel that will consider options for redeveloping the Diagonal Plaza shopping center.
The Boulder City Council in November authorized the technical assistance panel, which will be organized by the city and the Urban Land Institute of Colorado.
The idea is to get a diverse mix of experts together to review the existing 24-acre shopping center at 28th Street and Iris Avenue, and come up with high-level proposals for redeveloping the site.
David Driskell, Boulder's director of community planning and sustainability, said solutions to revamping the withering shopping center could include enticing a big-box retailer -- like Lowe's, Walmart or King Soopers. But he said having a flagship store likely wouldn't be enough.
"We're not looking to just drop a big-box there," Driskell said. "We're looking to do something more innovative."
He said that could mean creating a mixed-use development similar to the Belmar center in Lakewood, which includes restaurants, public art, more than 70 shops, patio homes and 4,000 parking spaces.
Nothing, he said, is off the table.
"There's a lot of different options," Driskell said.
The city has developed a series of questions for the panel to tackle, including: which large retail options are most feasible for the site; how the redevelopment can be supported by higher density or mixed use; how urban design can improve the appearance of the center; and how much public financing might be needed.
The technical panel is still being assembled by ULI Colorado, but it's expected to be made up of up to eight leading experts from different development fields. The conference will cost the city $10,000.
"For the level of expertise we'll get, I think it's a pretty big bang for the buck," Driskell said.
In late August, the city of Boulder selected a team of consultants to provide a preliminary economic analysis of the Diagonal Plaza study area. The study estimated that the cost to acquire the 15 properties that make up the site could end up around $45 million.
The Diagonal Plaza, which was built in 1965 and modified in 1995 with an addition facing 30th Street, has suffered from high vacancy rates the past couple of years. It has also shown signs of disrepair and contributed declining sales taxes, city officials say. It's now home to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Sports Authority and Vic's.
The plaza is anchored by a 24 Hour Fitness. A clerk at the gym said managers were not available Thursday to comment about the redevelopment plans. A corporate spokesman also said no one was available to comment.
Hank Felder, a Boulder contractor who was visiting with a friend in the Diagonal Plaza's main building on Thursday -- where the most activity was around the waiting line for the DMV -- said the aging shopping center is obviously falling apart.
"I think it's a disaster," he said.
Felder said he likes the idea of redeveloping the site, but dreads the prospect of having a big-box retailer because it might hurt smaller businesses.
"If someone with some real insight comes in here and makes it nice, I wouldn't mind that," he said.

Jan. 17, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Danny Kanamori scored a season-high 20 points, and Mike D'Auria added 18 markers and 10 boards as MIT (11-4, 4-1) grabbed sole possession of first place in the NEWMAC standings with a 62-54 victory over Clark University (6-8, 2-2), Tuesday, in Rockwell Cage. The Engineers clinched the game with a fantastic run at the free-throw line; hitting 13-of-14 in the final seven minutes of regulation.
Clark dominated most of the first half behind the incredible shooting of Cory Szklarz. The Cougars' senior guard scored 20 points in the opening period on 8-of-9 shooting as Clark stretched its lead from two on the opening possession to a game-high 11 with 4:20 remaining in the half. After stifling the Engineers' attack for the first 16 minutes and building a commanding 29-18 lead on the road, Clark's only field goal in the waning minutes of the frame was a game-tying three by Byron Roberts at the buzzer. With 3:45 left on the clock, Kanamori knocked down a three. On the following possession, D'Auria made a slashing move to the basket where he scored before adding the bonus point from the line. Another triple by Kanamori and 4-of-4 shooting at the charity stripe completed the 15-4 scoring run as MIT rallied back to take a 33-30 lead. Roberts' clock-beating shot from near half-court leveled the score at the halftime break.
Opposite of the first half, it was the Engineers who dictated the game's tempo in the final 20 minutes of regulation. MIT led nearly the entire half, although the Cardinal and Gray were unable to extend the lead past six until the closing minute. After carrying the Cougars with a tremendous offensive performance in the first half, Szklarz was held without a field goal in the second. However, he did supply points when Clark needed it most. Trailing 43-37 with 10 minutes remaining in the game, Szklarz nailed four straight free-throws on consecutive possessions.
After a strong lay-in by Tim Dutille courtesy of a penetrating pass by Dominique Beck, Clark found itself back in front at 44-43. Despite the comeback, the Engineers pulled away again, but not enough to keep Clark out of striking distance. D'Auria connected on four free-throws over the next two minutes, while Hamidou Soumare sparked the crowd with a tip-in as the shot clock was set to expire. A Lay-up by Tim Dutille with 1:56 left on the clock sliced MIT's lead to 57-54, but the Cougars were unable to hit from outside as the Engineers sealed the win at the line.
D'Auria was 9-of-9 at the free-throw line en route to his second double-double in 10 days. Kanamori added a season-best seven rebounds in the winning effort, while Soumare led all players with a career-high 14 boards. Alex Krull also finished in double-digits for the Engineers, going 3-of-5 from three-point range to close with 11 points.
Szklarz finished 8-of-14 from the floor en route to a game-high 24 points, while Dutille chipped in 13. Beck scored just five for the Cougars' attack, but dished out a game-high eight assists.
MIT shot 37% from the field and 78% (21-of-27) from the free-throw line to ensure its first 4-1 league start in program history. The Engineers held Clark to 40% shooting for the tilt, including a 6-of-22 (27.3%) performance in the second half.

Cee Lo Green: Making Millions Even If His Albums Don't Sell
from the how-it's-done dept
We've actually talked about Primary Wave's work in the past, in some of the things they've done to help Mariah Carey make money. And the story with Cee Lo is pretty similar: focus on selling the things you can't pirate, the real scarcities. And we're not talking (as our critics always insist) about tangible goods like t-shirts, but selling the person. Primary Wave may be positioned as publishing and management, but it's real business is marketing.
When Primary Wave took over Cee Lo's management, shortly before the release of "The Lady Killer," he still had a relatively low profile as a solo artist. But the company seized on the early viral success of "Forget You" to make Cee Lo a ubiquitous face.And, no, this doesn't just mean complete selling out (I can already hear the critics...), but finding campaigns that match Cee Lo's personality. They note they've turned down a ton of deals that didn't fit.
His over-the-top performances at half a dozen award shows -- performing with the Jim Henson Company puppets at the Grammys, playing a piano that spun 360 degrees above the crowd at the Billboard awards -- proved highly successful. His television campaign for the year has also included "Saturday Night Live," an appearance on the NBC comedy-drama "Parenthood" and his own talk show on the cable channel Fuse ("Talking to Strangers").
Primary Wave also booked numerous commercial endorsements for Cee Lo, in traditional TV spots like a 7Up commercial that has been running since October, as well as a Web video series for Absolut Vodka and personal appearances for Duracell and Pretzel M&M's.
Either way, it looks like Cee Lo is earning a ton of money from all of this: commercials, sponsorships, TV appearances and (of course) tons of live performances. The article notes that actual direct music sales are the smallest slice of the pie.
But the key point here is that these and many other opportunities are much more wide open to artists today, and it helps if their music is more widely known. That is, artists like Cee Lo, with the help of companies like Primal Wave, are recognizing that if you use the infinite goods -- such as the music -- to make the scarce goods (like Cee Lo himself or his endorsement) much more valuable, you can make a lot more money than ever before. And when you look at the overall market that way, you realize that there's lots more money to be made in the music industry today than ever before. The only part of the industry that's hurting is the part that was based on selling plastic discs, which has become obsolete. Everything else is booming.

According to a recent Gallup poll, 46% of Americans believe that "God" created humans as told in the bible story. That compares to 44% in 1982. Add to that, believers in Intelligent Design came in 2nd at 32%, and believers in actual evolution were 3rd at 15%.
There was also a somewhat expected split between Republicans and Democrats - Among Repubs, 60% were creationist, but among Dems 41% were creationist (Does that average out to 46% of all Americans? Maybe Independents and Apathetics skew the averages)
Disappointing. I thought we were evolving faster than that. Inability to evolve is not a good long term strategy.

There's a large independent segment, yes. Also, there are a lot more Democrats than Republicans, right now. The Tea Party assholes have driven off a lot of the moderate Republicans. The only way that the Republicans will win the presidency for the next 8 or 10 years is if they win damned near all of the independents or if all of the Democrats stay home. Alas, the Democrats are a lot less rabid and less likely to vote as a percentage.
Must be the Indies. Repub/Dem looks almost equal - not quite but not dramatically democratl. or here. - graph below, scale makes them look wider apart than they are.
Another way of looking at it here.
Also, if people identify as belonging to a party or philosophy, but don't vote, do they exist? If they exist, do they matter? Once the ballots are counted, it's the winner who won. Except in Florida and Ohio.
Dude, in a political election, 4% is HUGE. Obama won with a landslide victory. Something like 8 points. A 2% difference in the popular vote is more typical.
And yeah, if they can be coaxed out to the polls, they matter. The Democrats just haven't had anyone to inspire people to come out and vote, for a while. Gore and Kerry were both stiffs.
That's why Romney is most likely going to lose. His own party's base doesn't like him. Of course you had other problems with Santorum, Gingrich, Perry, and Bachman. Any of them would have sent something like 75% of the independent vote running screaming to Obama.
I'm currently registered independent, because you can pick either party in the primary, if you're registered independent. I've voted straight-ticket Democrat for at least the past 10 years. I went for some third-party people before that, but it's been a while.
Independent here, or as my registration says, unaffiliated, actually it says UNA... :)
Maybe the numbers haven't change with respect to belief, but those who are "enlightened" and reality-based are now more open about it?
It's pathetic, isn't it?
I'm not so sure most Americans are being educated in science in public school systems, in our school we had a coach who taught football, life sciences and driver's education and I remember him complaining that he had to teach science when he didn't go to college to teach that subject...
"Communism was a joke compared to The Fundies" How true, how true.
Why are people so afraid to evolve.... Or except the overwhelming amount of evidence for it. They will just keep getting their wisdom teeth and appendixes removed and never question why they have too...
i've been arguing with idiots at TheBlaze.com about this all morning. the comments are so stupid and misinformed. it's shows either:
a. a complete failure of our educational system to teach Science
b. a complete failure of Christianity to allow their constituents to think critically
i'm thinking it's B.
You are right in a sense, there is evidence that an individual's brain does change with time - increase in synapses; and there are external factors that influence synapse formation. such as here, from Massachusetts General Hospital "Studies suggest that neurons that are adversely affected by factors such as stress, lack of stimulation, or neurotoxins may be hampered in their ability to form new patterns of connectivity and may lose synaptic connections. It is generally agreed that learning occurs when the acquisition of new information causes synaptic changes, but scientists are not yet certain precisely how these changes come about."
So, it's thought, that the less you think, the more you lose the ability think.
However, that change is not passed on to the next generation - a term called Lamarkism.
The word "evolution" has more than one meaning - see definition here - including "any kind of gradual change". A person's thoughts can evolve without any chance whatsoever of passing that change on to another generation, and even John D is evolving. John D has chosen to claim to know the one and only definition for evolution, regardless of the actual meaning and accepted uses of the word, or the somewhat dry tongue-in-cheek title of this post (ie, the joke that people have not "evolved" on "evolution").
From the wikipedia definition,
"The term evolution (from its literal meaning of "unfolding" of something into its true or explicit form) carries a connotation of gradual improvement or directionality from a beginning to an end point. This contrasts with the more general development, which can indicate change in any direction, or revolution, which implies recurring, periodic change."
As for directionality of evolutionary change you have a point - although again, there is that definition. When a species is ideally suited for its niche, it can remain essentially unchanged for a very long time. That actually makes the species less robust genetically, meaning that if there is invasion of exotic species or change in the ecosystem, the formerly unchanging species can go extinct. By introducing random changes in a species' DNA (genotype) that are then expressed as changes in an individual's anatomy, biochemistry, or behavior, if those changes improve ability to survive and pass on DNA, then although mutation is random and without "intent" the effect of evolution is directional. For neutral changes - it's anyone's guess. For detrimental changes, which happen much more than beneficial changes, the ability to survive is decreased, and often those changes are lost as "dead end". Often but not always.
There is also social evolution, in which societies change and take on different characteristics, which is also the point of this post, but don't say it too loud or John's head might explode, ruling out any further evolution on his part.

Dethrottled - Throttle Body UpgradePosted in How To: Engine on January 1, 2013
Somewhere in the annals of hot rod history someone decided to toss a bigger carb-uretor on an engine for more fuel and air, and thus more power. Sounds like a plan to us. The modern equivalent is to put a larger throttle body on your multi-port injected Jeep engine. If you have a 4.0L, then that's not so cheap or easy because it requires expensive aftermarket parts and/or custom machining. But if you own an MPI 2.5L in a YJ, XJ, or TJ, then it's pretty cheap and easy. The 58mm throttle bodies on 4.0Ls are just larger versions of the 52mm throttle bodies on 2.5Ls. Does this swap make more horsepower? That's debatable, but the 2.5L in our little TJ seems more responsive and peppy off the line. This is probably the result of the much cleaner throttle body as opposed to the dirty gunked-up one it replaced, but hell, we feel it. At $35 for a used throttle body and an hour's worth of work, we'll take the butt-dyno numbers as proof enough. The mechanical part of this is pretty easy. First pull the air tube off the old throttle body, loosening the band clamps with a flat-blade screwdriver. Then pop the throttle cable off, unplug the sensors from the wiring harness, and use a 10mm socket to remove the throttle body from the intake and swap your old sensors to the new throttle body. Reinstallation is reverse of removal. Easy. Follow along as we show you our swap and give some tips along the way.
Our 4.0L throttle body came from AMC 4x4 Salvage in Glendale, Arizona, which sells them used for $35 without sensors or $65 with sensors. It's best to swap your existing sensors if they're good including: the throttle position sensor (TPS); the idle air control (IAC) valve motor; the IAC valve housing; the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. On some earlier YJs and XJs the MAP is mounted on the firewall, not the throttle body. If you get a throttle body without the provision for the MAP, you can tie it into a source of manifold vacuum.
You'll need small Torx bits including one T20 security bit for the screws on the IAC valve housing. The 2.5 IAC won't work with the 4.0L IAC housing and the 2.5L engine won't idle correctly with the 4.0L IAC. Also the 4.0L throttle body has a tab on the base that interferes with the four-cylinder intake. Nick Cardenas from AMC 4x4 also recommends running the engine for a while before removal of the stock throttle body. The heat will help with loosening the thread lock on the easy-to-strip bolts that hold the sensors on the throttle body. Shown are the two IAC housings. You need the 2.5L IAC and IAC housing on the 4.0L throttle body.
We cleaned the new throttle body and the old sensors with some throttle body cleaner before installation. If you want to run the sensors already on the 4.0L throttle body, you also need to know if your wiring harness has round or flat pins before buying the new part. This changed around 1997. Just for reference our '97 TJ has round pins (shown), but according to Cardenas, some '97 TJs have flat pins. Avoid overly rusty or worn throttle bodies.

One Day to Change the World:
LLL Leaders Make a Difference
Catherine Powers Özyurt
Boston, MA USA
Imagine volunteering your time and altering the course of history in 24 hours. As a humble mortal it seems much too grandiose, like the plot of an action adventure film. As impossible as it may seem, La Leche League Leaders do it every day, one mother and one baby at a time. A 'typical' day for Leaders might include counseling new mothers, meeting with pediatricians at a local clinic or even briefing researchers for a United Nations' AIDS conference! We followed La Leche League Leaders for a day and learned how hundreds of voices and one dream are shaping the lives of women and children across the globe.
As the dawn broke across the beautiful South African landscape it was just another busy day in the lives of LLL Leaders Jacquie Nutt, Jane Maasdorp and Loraine Hamm. Conversations with mothers ranged from the challenges of breastfeeding twins to discussing the concerns of an epileptic mother whose doctor was encouraging her to wean. A visit to a local clinic provided the perfect opportunity to counsel mothers on the value of breastfeeding exclusively for six months. One of the mothers, who stopped breastfeeding her infant at 2 months because she had 'no milk', received one-on-one relactation counseling. Even the clinic gardener benefited from the visit, receiving LLL pamphlets for his wife.
One South African leader spent the day developing breastfeeding policies for staff and parents at a local health clinic, while another Leader met with a pediatrician about HIV research. Leader Jane Maasdorp's day included a discussion on advancing research on breastfeeding and HIV for a UNAIDS conference with Dr. Anna Coutsoudis, a professor and microbiologist from the University of Natal in Durban, South Africa.
The new day in Luxembourg looked promising as LLL leader Ute Rock telephoned one new mother, given breastshields at the hospital, about her progress and offered support and advice to another pregnant mother experiencing discomfort while nursing her toddler. "With so many things to address, where does one start?" exclaimed Anita Dennis, La Leche League Leader, as she described her encounter with a pregnant mother with a toddler who recently arrived in Luxembourg. "She doesn't know many people and she doesn't have a driving license." Anita explained. "She was particularly worried about the forthcoming birth and what she would do with her little girl when she went to the hospital with her husband. Her first birth experience had not been a good one and her milk had dried up after only three months." Anita patiently listened to the mother's concerns, offering her advice and support, and after a long and fruitful discussion the mother was even considering hosting the next series of La Leche League meetings!
In Rochester, Great Britain, Deborah Robertson had reason to celebrate. Her Lactation Consultant Certificate arrived from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBCLC). Deborah noted that her 8 years as a LLL Leader really helped set her up for the exam. In Shrewsbury, Jaqui Maclean led her first meeting after arriving in Great Britain, while Jill Unwin in East Berks, wrote a bibliography for a new leaflet she is working on for the LLL publications department. In Suffolk, Jan Storey met with a Leader Applicant and provided support for her ongoing challenges with her two year old. The "twos" were not so terrible for Leader Jennifer Knouth, who welcomed three new breastfeeding mothers, two of whom were pregnant, to an Oxford toddler meeting.
As the sun stretched across the Atlantic to welcome a new day to Brazil, the mothers of Santo Amato in Maceió, Alagoas were in for a day of theatrical proportions. The LLL Leaders of Maceió and nutrition students from the Federal University of Alagoas put on a play about the difficulties and challenges of the first postpartum days. After the theatrical production, LLL Leaders and nutrition students from the Federal University held a question and answer session for the pregnant women. The women were encouraged to express their questions, concerns and doubts about breastfeeding and infant care.
In Puerto Rico, LLL Leader Maria Santos gave a talk and provided information for parents at a neighborhood Montessori school, while two other Leaders held a meeting for mothers at a local toy store. Raquel Torres provided one mother information about a support group, while sending another mother information about breastfeeding children with Down's Syndrome. Carmen Cabrer and Luz Velez provided training and information on breastfeeding to doctors and healthcare professionals. The sense of mission Leaders have extends beyond group members, as Damaris Crespo demonstrated when she visited her neighbor, the mother of a three-month-old baby, to encourage her to continue breastfeeding and postpone solids.
The Greater Baton Rouge La Leche League, comprised of three active groups, held a pot luck social for Leaders, applicants and interested mothers. The group also donated 5 copies of the Womanly Art of Breastfeeding to local libraries after carefully inscribing them and covering them in clear plastic. The group also designed and printed bookmarks inscribed 'we wrote the book on breastfeeding', with local LLL phone numbers and website information. Another Louisiana Leader was interviewed by The Advertiser, a local newspaper.
At an Atlanta-Emory Group meeting in Georgia, Leaders and members were discussing the history of LLL and the network of support for mothers and babies. One new mother lamented that she was dealing with soreness, cracks and weight gain problems. "Just as we Leaders were looking at each other and muttering about thrush," Leader Anne Marie Miller explained, "one of our core mothers spoke up and discussed that she had been through the same situation two years ago…and she could provide knowledge and support to another new mother who has never nursed before." "I have been a Leader since 1979" Anne Marie noted "…it has been fun to watch mothers mature in their skills over the years."
On this day Marian McCabe re-enlisted on the area council of La Leche League of Virginia/West Virginia. Marian McCabe joined LLL in 1975, after the birth of her first daughter. "My first daughter Margaret was born in July 1975. I was 31 years old and had never held a baby or baby-sat. I knew absolutely nothing about babies or mothering. Then I went to my first La Leche League meeting and my life and my family's life changed totally." Marian went on to become accredited as a Leader in 1979 and served as a Leader in Virginia, Texas and Ireland. When the demands of her college classes began to conflict with her La Leche League District Advisor responsibilities, Marian reluctantly went on Leader reserve. She attended her first La Leche League International conference in July, "intending it to be a farewell", as she was planning on retiring. While sitting at the conference. Marian kept looking at the La Leche League International banner with pride realizing that "I too, was part of that incredible organization." Inspired by the conference and reaffirmed in her commitment to breastfeeding and attachment parenting, Marian decided to return to active Leader status.
Leader Mary Mann, continuing the great tradition of breastfeeding into the next generation, spent the day with her daughter, Emily and 12 day old grandson, Theo. Mary proudly reported that Theo is exclusively breastfed, as was his mother, Mary's daughter Emily and all of her siblings. As a child, Mary's daughter attended La Leche League conferences with her mother in 1979 in Atlanta, 1981 in Chicago, and 1985 in Washington, DC "It must have helped", Mary mused. No doubt, Theo, who nursed immediately after birth and gained 2 lbs in 16 days after birth, would agree wholeheartedly.
In Ardmore, PA, Leader Emily Coplon handed out cards with information on new research in breastfeeding. Emily and her co-leader Lisa Mandell led a lively discussion among the 12 mothers who attended the meeting. In Peoria, Illinois, Leader Trisha Noack, helped with a series seminar at her local library and donated the $25 honorarium back to the library to purchase books on breastfeeding, including the WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING. A group of 25 mothers and 24 children, active members and LLL Alumni, participated in a lively discussion about extended breastfeeding. Leaders held a drawing and gave away a copy of MOTHERING YOUR NURSING TODDLER and World Breastfeeding Week magnets.
One Boston Leader's dedication to breastfeeding promotion extends to her everyday activities on the job, where she manages a professional testing center. When pediatricians and obstetricians come in to do testing, she always mentions breastfeeding. If a woman taking a test is pregnant, she tries to initiate a conversation on breastfeeding. "One day I talked to a woman taking a dental test. She planned to breastfeed, but no one had mentioned it to her at the hospital where she worked and planned to deliver. I sent her a packet of breastfeeding information."
"Without those wonderful and visionary mothers, who knows where we would be today," wrote Judyth Stavans, LLL Leader from Yorktown, New York, as she sent thank you letters to the Founders and followed up on a mother and baby with persistent thrush. Lee Galasso, her co-Leader worked with the producers of the SIDS - Back to Sleep pamphlet to ensure that more accurate information about breastfeeding and SIDS prevention was provided. Cincinnati, Ohio Leaders Karen Kerkoff Gromada and Dee Keith continued doing one of the things they enjoy best: leading the Cincinnati Multiple Moms Group.
Sue Rericha celebrated her leadership role in a unique way by giving birth to her fourth daughter, Edythe Anne. In perfect rhythm with their fellow Illinois Leader, the Oak Park-River Forest group hosted a regular series meeting on 'The Baby Arrives'. The meeting included guest speaker Mary White, one of the seven original Founders of La Leche League, who spoke about breastfeeding in the 1950's and 1960's. Mary White also signed copies of SEVEN VOICES ONE DREAM. The group presented a plaque to Mary White, which read: " a mother's first gift is life. The second gift is love and the third gift is understanding.' A local newspaper covered the meeting and printed the story. Area Coordinator of Leaders (ACL) Emily Dent-Harris held an indoor picnic with local mothers from the Northeast Lake County group. She also emailed all of the Leaders in Illinois to thank them for their hard work and dedication.
Because there is no La Leche League Group in Mountain Home Idaho, the site of an Air Force base, Linda Worden thought it was especially important to spread the word about breastfeeding to local mothers. She donated several copies of The WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING to the air base facility and local library. Rebecca Scheele of Roseville, Minnesota was reminded 'how La Leche League is such a helpful beacon for breastfeeding mothers, even those that live quite a distance from any Leader or Group,' after she helped locate a meeting for a nursing mother.
One of the great successes of La Leche League is the one-to-one support and personal experience offered by mothers to other mothers. Leader Kim Moss-Allen sent materials on adoptive nursing to a mother who nursed all three of her biological children and plans to nurse her adopted baby. "The coincidence is that there is already one mother in our group nursing her adopted baby. How wonderful to be able to offer not only information and support, but also a connection to other mothers doing the same thing!" Mother and Leader Sara Furr, an APL and AFC for Nebraska spends her working day as a breastfeeding educator at Milkworks, a non-profit breastfeeding resource center. Many of the mothers she works with have medical issues such as thrush, supply problems and the challenges of returning to work. Sara, a self-described cheerleader for the mothers, inspires them to listen to their babies.
The sunrise greeted Norman, Oklahoma with a new member of the La Leche League family, Isaac Richard Braver, who was born at 4:29 AM. Isaac and his mother, Maren Eliason, celebrated his birthday by nursing and resting! The Northwest morning group in Oklahoma City held a brunch/enrichment meeting. The group of new and 'old' mothers and children collected donations to buy a new book for the lending library and shared a very special banana bread with LLL spelled out in pecans on the top!
"Even experienced mothers need a sensitive ear, a strong shoulder and impartial sounding board, when we are tired and worried about our children," Mary Honas of Overland Park North, Kansas, wrote after talking to a concerned mother, who is nursing her eighth child. Mary is not only a LLL Leader, she is the mother of 5 beautiful breastfed children, one of whom is still nursing.
Austin, Texas leader Sue Ann Kendall's children helped prepare favors for their local meeting. The children drew pictures of mothers with babies, which Sue Ann laminated and gave to each mother who attended the meeting.
In New Mexico, ACL Ray Walker, shared the WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING, breastfeeding information and a delicious lunch with an expectant mother. "This book taught me that it was OK to follow my heart while mothering," Billy-Bernadine Henderson inscribed in a copy of the WOMANLY ART OF BREASTFEEDING, for a pregnant friend.
It was a busy day for the Chandler/Gilbert group in Arizona. In addition to conducting several meetings, Billy-Bernadine Henderson helped her husband's co-worker find a private office to pump and store milk after returning to work; took care of a friend's child when she went into the hospital to give birth to a second baby and helped a neighbor with a breast abscess. After a long day Billy-Bernadine wrote, "I took the afternoon off to play with my newest toddler and reflect on how I grew in my mothering, and how I continue to grow by helping new mothers nurse their babies."
The Sugarhouse/Salt Lake City group met and talked about the origins of LLL. Leader Mindy Gottesegen and the 30 mothers with their children who attended took turns reading the introduction to Seven Voices, One Dream. Sue Garcia, Southern California/Nevada Leader spent the day honoring her mother's 76th birthday at a family luncheon. Sue's mother, a visionary like the Founders of LLL, started her breastfeeding legacy in 1948, with Sue's birth. She breastfed eight children and was happy to see most of her 25 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren breastfed.
La Leche League groups in Turlock, Modesto and Manteca California came together for a family-oriented fund-raiser at a local restaurant. Fathers, mothers, babies, older children, extended families and friends of the La Leche League family came together to celebrate. In Palo Alto, California Cindy Howard spent the day quietly working on a book review for the La Leche League Evaluation Committee.
The day in New Zealand was the culmination of a flurry of activities. Nineteen different meetings were held across the country and topics included "The Birth of your baby and the Early Days". The Rotorua Group donated two copies of the book Breastfeeding Your Premature Baby to the Special Care Baby Unit at the local hospital. In Whangarei, two Leaders attended the launch of new Maori health initiative, which includes a breastfeeding component. The coordinator's vision for the project is 100% exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months for Northland Maori and up to and beyond two years!
As the sun set over Aukland, one Leader reflected on the events of the day. "The arduous day confirmed the importance of advocating for babies, yet meeting parents 'where-they-are' without compromising my own or La Leche League's philosophy."
All over the world, every day hundreds of voices and one dream are echoing the chorus of seven voices and one dream that started 46 years ago. Every day these voices make the world a better place…… one mother and one baby at a time.

This is not unique to new faculty, but happens to new researchers (like me) in the industry as well, where I have to work with developers, interns and other researchers. It's an enlightening experience, and I definitely wish I had taken some management classes.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 7, 2010 at 11:54 PM
It is interesting how you mention your two styles of advising, and how they are related to tenure: (1) making sure you squeeze student productivity (pre-tenure), and (2) making sure that your students are successful (post-tenure). As a student of a professor that has recently been granted tenure, I have partly experienced both styles, and have seen them also to be related to tenure.ReplyDelete
I think (2) is the only way to go. The way I see it, the job of a professor is to graduate great students. If they are only in it for their own research, they should join a research lab. While maximizing student productivity is best for the professor, it may be very detrimental to student development. I have seen this first hand, with some students literally being work horses for their professor, and then graduating disillusioned about grad school as well as not having all the tools necessary to be independent researchers. It really does the students a large disservice. How can this be changed? It seems the stresses of a pre-tenure professor demand that student productivity be maximized at almost all costs.
It is a nice thing you comment here, and let me tell you some story:ReplyDelete
Here in Japan, is kinda difficult to become a Professor, but once you become one, well is too easy.
Try looking for papers in Japanese Universities and maybe 60% of the time (I'm being a bit conservative) the professor, although his name is in the paper, had NOTHING to do with it, most of the time he won't know what is it about.
Even their own papers are usually written by PhD's or PostDocs. And since there is no quota for papers, that is they have no obligation of publishing anything original themselves, they slack off most of the times.
Some Professors even demand to their students to put his name at the begging, even if had nothing to do with the paper. And since in Japan numbers rule instead of quality, well some very well respected professors in robotics know little to nothing in the nowadays topics.
And of course, their leadership capabilities rely on mere respect, rather than an acknowledgment of real academic ability. Most of the times they have no clear plan of work and leave you to do whatever you want. Just to slap you afterwards because they could not understand what you chose.
And their English level, although good in some instances, I really doubt is good enough to understand a serious research paper, since they have problem with basic words like "contempt", "naive" and "daunting", to cite some examples.
A respect based system like the one in Japan or in China is hurting much the Academic aspect of them, and when they go abroad to do some visiting, they are amazed universities actually demand them to write papers ("that is unheard off" I heard one Japanese professor said once he went to MIT, "They wanted me to write my own papers" said another in Stanford) The few that have been for more than a couple of years in America or Europe have a better grasp of it, and are the really good Professors.
I have been trying hard to put some order in my laboratory, I am the oldest member here, which gives me some status (again, age against expertise) and I have been searching for ways to have people work together.
I think a good way to do it, is actually to hold off workshops to see who work the best by being by themselves and who works better by being on a team.
Anyway, sorry for the big post.
Hey Matt, another fun topic.ReplyDelete
I've also sought out management books etc without much success. I'm also in search or David's Jedi mind trick, or maybe Kubi's version. Let me know if you find something that works. My sense thus far is that what works really depends on the personality of the prof, and by extension, his/her students.
So what have you been doing with that challenge?
In the absence of the Jedi skills, I've just taken an attrition approach, where only students that are motivated and match my group in personality/intensity stay in my lab. I'm hoping to find a better solution. Suggestions?
A thought-provoking post - it sounds like you'd say that the process of getting a Ph.D. doesn't seem to train you to be a professor - I've definitely heard that opinion from others…ReplyDelete
Any thoughts on how the tenure evaluation process could be modified to reward a more balanced focus on student success instead of productivity?
Michael - I'm not sure that much can be done about this. At the end of the day the people writing tenure letters don't know (or care) about anything other than the candidate's research output and service to the community. This is one reason why teaching evaluations rarely take a central role in tenure cases. Things like "being a good mentor to students" or "is a nice person" don't really play in. Case in point: Neither of the previous two statements can be attributed to me :-)ReplyDelete
yeah right..its is hard to become a leader...ReplyDelete
cause it need to be a good servant to obtain a good leadership skill... I'm good at research..hehehehe....lol...ReplyDelete

After read blog topic's related post now I feel my research is almost completed. happy to see that.Thanks to share this brilliant matter.ReplyDelete

Great for the price
1999 Volkswagen Jetta
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This is a great system for the price...the Pandora feature is less interesting than hoped, but you can also connect with any Bluetooth audio source w/o the on unit controls, but works well anyway. Sound is great, good features, pretty easy to hook up. All in all I am pretty happy. The only complaint I would have is that the 'scan' feature on the radio will only stop on really strong signals and the search feature doesn't let you really move through the dial, so it is hard to find radio stations.
Pros: Price, features
Cons: Radio tuner

Sam Malone's new radio show will be on AM 1070 The Answer KNTH the talk show host announced today in a video with quotes from Plato, Benjamin Franklin and the Three Stooges. Currently KNTH is branded as News Talk 1070, so Sam is such a big get, they needed to re-brand just for him I guess. This was the station I figured he might end up on. (UPDATE: click for more on 1070 KTNH re-branding)
The show debuts Monday morning, February 18th from 7 to 10am.
Last week, Malone revealed a new TV show on Phonoscope.
|Sam Malone 1070 The Answer
"This is where radio has to move to," Malone told mikemcguff.com. "We have to get the message to the people at work, or the doctor's office, airport or wherever they are. We want to reach them where they are listening."
It's a rarity that a radio talent gets to keep working many years in the same city. Malone thinks he's found the next step for those behind the microphone.
"This is the future for radio talent," Malone told me. "We're seeing mass firings, seeing them disappear. Radio people have to get on to multi-platforms to get to the people. Create your own platforms, create your own brands."
Cynical me, since Malone is the president of Phonoscope New Media, I figured this whole radio/tv project was a thinly veiled sales pitch for Phonoscope's services. Sam says no, this will be a seriously produced show and not just an ad for the company's offerings.
Anytime I write about Sam, there are comments about his turn to conservative radio over the last years. Sam says that's who he is and always has been, even on 104.1 KRBE. He went to both President George W. Bush inaugurations, spoke at his first pro-life dinner in 2001 and even had Governor Rick Perry and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on as guest DJs in this top 40 days.
"There's an old radio saying, 'People don't care what you say, they care about you,'" Malone said.
[RELATED: Should Sam Malone have stayed at 104.1 KRBE?]
Malone was let go from the 700 KSEV morning show last May (a story that made Top mikemcguff.com posts for 2012). He was replaced by The MACK Show with Richard Mack Machowicz who was just replaced in mornings by Edd Hendee who is making his return to the station.
Before that Sam was at Mix 96.5 KHMX and 740 KTRH, but he is most famously known for his 104.1 KRBE mornings tenure with Maria Todd. Todd went on to work at Mix 96.5 KHMX after Malone. She now works at News 92 KROI.
