Item Type
Prayer Books and Covers
Typically, prayer books – "Siddurim" in Hebrew - are only considered to be Judaica items in so far as their use. They aren't usually considered to be pieces of Judaica Art. Their covers, however, are Judaica items in the artistic sense and usually are heavily decorated.
Are you looking for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift? Consider a prayer book that has a sterling silver cover engraved with depictions of Jerusalem, the 12 Tribes of Israel, Crowns, Torah scrolls and texts referring to prayer. As an alternative, consider a prayer book that is engraved with the name of young man or woman celebrating his or her entry into adulthood.
Another type of prayer book that are frequent gifts, especially for girls and women celebrating their Bat Mitzvah or Weddings are Tehillim Books. The book of Tehillim is King David's book of Psalms that is part of Tanach – the Jewish Bible – and is customarily recited during auspicious and inauspicious times. Tehillim books are usually decorated on their covers with images of Jerusalem, floral pattern and sometimes even pictures of great rabbinical leaders of the past such as Maimonides. However, they may also be decorated with pained or engraved names.
One interesting feature about Jewish prayer books is that there are different traditions that you can choose from, including Yemenite, Sephardic, Ashkenazi and others. If you would like to give the perfect gift for a lifecycle even consider a gift of prayer book whose contents are the tradition of the recipient's ancestors.
We at World of Judaica invite you to browse our collection of prayer books, prayer book covers and Tehillim books. If you have questions regarding the use of prayer books or any other items, visit our education pages. If you cannot find the answer to your question, please feel free to contact us via email, live chat or phone and we will be more than happy to address your concerns.
Prayer Books & Covers Guide
In Judaism, the synagogue plays a prominent role, with many items being used during the course of services. One of the essential items used during prayer service in addition to the Tallit and Tefillin is the prayer book.
What are Prayer Books and Covers?
The prayer book, also known as Siddur in Hebrew, contains all of the prayer said during weekday prayer services, Shabbat and important Jewish holidays such as Passover and Sukkot. However, there are also other books that also fit under this category, such as the Book of Psalms composed by King David and books that are used for specific holidays, such as the Machzor that contains prayers said in Synagogue during Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur as well as those used during Passover Seder and the Rosh HaShana meal.
Prayer Book covers care usually made of sterling silver or cloth and fit atop hardcover prayer covers and serve as a practical protection for the bidning and book itself in addition to being a decorative item that shows honor to G-d.
Prayer books covers are often decorated with traditional depictions of Jerusalem and often have Hebrew text in the center, usually with the word "Siddur" or "Tehillim", which are the Hebrew words for "Prayer Book" and "Book of Psalms".
Other common decorations on Siddur and Machzor prayer books include floral patterns, crowns, the Luchot or Tablets supported by lions with engravings of the Ten Commandments or Hebrew letters, crowns and the seven species. Many prayer books are also decorate with verses from the Torah and Rabbinical literature, such as "Know before whom you stand" or "G-d is always present".
Other types of prayer books, such as those used during the Rosh HaShana meal are decorated with items used on Rosh HaShana such as a Shofar or a pomegranate with severeal seeds. These prayers usually have the Hebrew text "Seder Rosh HaShana" - "Rosh HaShana Order" in English - that refers to the different foods eaten at the beginning of the meal.
Prayer books and their covers are often personalized with names that are engraved into sterling silver or painted gold on the front. These items may also be personalized with important dates, such as a Bar Mitzvah or wedding anniversary.

ETSU freshman earns first weekly award of ETSU career; completes A-Sun singles play 9-0
MACON, Ga. (April 17, 2012) – Capping off his perfect A-Sun season with a 9-0 singles record in ETSU's 5-2 defeat of USC Upstate last weekend, freshman Rogerio Ribeiro (Sao Paulo, Brazil) was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Ribeiro helped ETSU to its first undefeated A-Sun season since 2009, completing his flawless individual conference season with a 9-0 singles mark. In ETSU's win over USC Upstate, the freshman took down Tyler Grove at No. 5 singles 6-0, 6-1, finishing off his freshman year undefeated in A-Sun play and extending his team-leading winning streak to 11 in a row. Ribeiro also played a perfect set at No. 3 doubles with Jesus Bandres, defeating Gonzalo Blanco and Jacob Darling 8-0.
The Sao Paulo, Brazil native wraps up the regular season with a 20-8 overall singles record, 11-1 dual, 9-0 A-Sun. He went 2-0 at No. 4, 7-1 at No. 5 and 2-0 at No. 6. The first year standout also posted a doubles record which reads 10-8 overall, 6-4 dual, 5-1 A-Sun, as he ends the regular season on a five-match doubles winning streak.
The Player of the Week recognition is the first of Ribeiro's collegiate career, and ETSU's fifth such honors of the season, tying North Florida for the most of any A-Sun school. Senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) was recognized the weeks of Feb. 15 and March 28, senior Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) the week of March 21 and senior Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) the week of Feb. 29.
Ribeiro and the ETSU men's tennis team now enter the A-Sun Championships as the No. 1 seed looking for their sixth-consecutive title as they await the winner of Friday's quarterfinal matchup between No. 4 Lipscomb (9-11, 4-5 A-Sun) and No. 5 USC Upstate (11-9, 4-5 A-Sun).

Recall election, method of election in which voters can oust an elected official before his official term has ended.
Like most populist innovations, the practice of recalling officeholders is an attempt to minimize the influence of political parties on representatives. Widely adopted in the United States, the recall is designed to ensure that an elected official will act in the interests of his constituency rather than in the interests of his political party or according to his own conscience. The actual instrument of recall is usually a letter of resignation signed by the elected representative before assuming office. During the term of office, the letter can be evoked by a quorum of constituents if the representative's performance fails to meet their expectations.
In the United States the recall has been used successfully against various types of officials, including judges, mayors, and even state governors. Although in practice the recall is not used extensively, even in jurisdictions where it is provided for constitutionally, it has been used to remove governors in North Dakota (1921) and California (2003). Following a bitter partisan fight between Democrats and Republicans over the rights of workers to bargain collectively, Wisconsin experienced in 2011 the single largest recall attempt in U.S. history; six Republicans and three Democrats in the 33-member state Senate faced a recall vote, though only two senators—both Republicans—were defeated.

O Vale do Anhangabaú tem lindos jardins, diversas obras de arte (esculturas) e três chafarizes que, quando ligados, multiplicam sua beleza. O vale é o divisor dos centros Velho e Novo, e dele pode-se admirar grande parte dos dois centros, os dois viadutos e alguns dos mais imponentes edifícios, como o Martinelli, o prédio do Banespa, a antiga sede dos Correios e a nova sede do Banco de Boston, entre outros.
Vale do Anhangabaú is between downtown's two main viaducts: Viaduto do Chá and Viaduto Santa Efigênia. The Anhangabaú river, which flows in its underground and it is now piped, used to be of great importance for the city when it was founded. There is also a tunnel for cars crossing this part of the city.
Vale do Anhangabaú, which divides the old and the new part of the city's downtown, has beautiful gardens, many works of art (sculptures) and three fountains that multiply its beauty. It has a good view from which people can admire both sides, the two viaducts and some of the city's most imposing buildings, such as Martenelli and Banespa, aside from the post office's old headquarters and the principal offices of BankBoston, among others.
Overview and HistorySao Paulo is the biggest city both in Brazil and the southern hemisphere, even bigger than Rio. It's mega-sprawling like Los Angeles. By some estimates Sao Paulo has 27 million people, surpassed only by Tokyo. If Godzilla would only win for once, Sao Paulo might become THE biggest city. Whoa!Sao Paulo is the financial center of South America, and in turn its center is the stock exchange downtown on Paulista Avenue. Here's the 1892 viaduct linking the old downtown with what later became the new downtown.Sao Paulo was founded by Jesuit missionaries in 1554. The economy here began with coffee exports from plantations worked first by slaves and then by European immigrants. The Mansion of Rosas, from 1930, is one of the last big ones built during the wealthy coffee period.Brazil is part of the "Mercosul" business community,which is the Common Market of the South. This is a trade zone roughly equivalent in purpose to the EU, African Union, Asia-Paficic Economic Cooperation, or the Security and Prosperity Partnership in North America.It snowed once, in 1918.The city government of Sao Paulo is located inside the Palace of the Bandeirantes. The Palace is named after the legendary Bandits who fought deep into the middle of South America, to expand the territory of Brazil in the eighteenth century. Here's a look at the interior, too.With all this commerce and activity flying around, it's natural that Sao Paulo is a huge center for business tourism. The city has the capacity to host hundreds of conventions PER DAY at any of the hotels, conference centers, sports arenas, etc. Here's an auto exhibition in the Anhembi Park Pavillion.But there is still a lot of history to explore here, even in the middle of the high-tech world around you. Anchieta Museum was originally a school for teaching religious subjects to native Brazillians, built 1554.The University of Sao Paulo's College of Law was founded in 1827 and is the oldest law school in Brazil. Twelve Brazillian presidents and countless other administrators have attended.Getting ThereSao Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport is a small city all by itself. It's got 53,000 employees and the only bigger cargo hub nearby is in Mexico City, man!Travel to the airport by bus takes about 45 minutes, you can rent a car there or park in the long term parking lots, as usual for any large airport city with 53,000 employees.Traffic can get gnarly so allow plenty of extra time to get to the airport when it's time to leave. Remember, 53,000 people can make a decent little rush hour all by themselves.TransportationFirst, some scenery with style: here's the Julio Prestes railway station now converted into a concert hall. The Station of Light or Estacao de Luz connecting with the metro system and also housing the Museum of the Portugese language. The Boiler House, a recovered industrial space now used for cultural events.There is a metro system here but it is not as comprehensive as in a place like Tokyo. Buses are the main way to get around, along with street taxis and radio-dispatch taxis. The latter are more reliable if you're not fluent in Portugese yet.People and CultureOverall, Sao Paulo is the most ethnically diverse city in Brazil, and it has the largest Japanese population outside of Japan (Liberdade neighborhood).And what do these diverse people do to celebrate? They have Carnaval!Brazil has the best Carnavale in the world. There's no way in hell we can come anywhere close to describing it, not even with panoramas and thousands of words plane tickets caiparinhas and a jar of tiger sweat. Preparations alone go on for weeks.It happens for 4 days before Ash Wednesday and marks the beginning of Lent, when people must give up the pleasures of the flesh.There are lots of other major events happening here throughout the course of the year.The annual Sao Paulo gay parade attracts upwards of 1.5 million people, and it's not just a little afternoon thing. The events surrounding the parade take up an entire month with street fairs, film festivals and crazy parties. This is the world's largest LGBT event! WORLD's LARGEST!Sao Paulo fashion week attracts designers from all over the globe, and the Festival of Electronic Art invites digital media-makers to assemble en masse and tweak parameters together.Sports fans pay attention! The Brazillian F1 Grand Prix is on a level with the Tour de France or the Kentucky Derby in world sporting. Drivers don't love the bumpy streets but fans come out in droves to watch, and 99% of them survive.Things to do & RecommendationsWell, you've got twelve thousand restaurants, seventy museums, two hundred cinemas, and fifty theaters to choose from.The Municipal Theater has the distinction of being the place where Hamlet was first performed, bringing Shakespeare to Sao Paulo as of 1911.Shopping? Check out Oscar Friere street for Godiva, Versace, Armani and all of Louis Vuitton's other friends.After you get thirsty from carrying all those bags, dip into Campos do Jordao for a cold beer. They brew their own.A few gallery pointers -- State Art Gallery with modern exhibits from the 19th century until now, MASP Museum of Art Sao Paulo, Tomie Ohtake Institute for gooey plastic hyper-modern stuff.For Nature and wildlife... well I guess the rainforest pretty much wins in this category, but on your way into the jungle you can poke your head into the Sao Paulo Aquarium.Right within the city there's some nice green space in Ibirapuera Park. Two square kilometers and it's still only the second biggest park in the city! Get ready for this list of what it contains: a planetarium, Astrophysics School, Villa de Osos Bacalao (a building shaped like a horse!!), five convention-center pavillions, Air Force Museum, Agricultural Palace, Gymnasium, running tracks, Obelisk and fourteen million blades of grass.Cool local favorite pub: "Jazz in the Deep Ones" where you can find live music and no liquor laws.Lastly, how many times do I have to tell you? Go up to the top of the tallest thing you can find and look around. It'll be worth more than anything you can buy.Text by Steve Smith.

J.R. Smith is not going to gain any street cred from this arrest -- he was popped in Miami this weekend for operating a scooter without a valid driver's license. THUG LIFE!!!!
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Smith, who has played the last five seasons with the Denver Nuggets, was not taken to jail for the offense. We're told Smith signed a notice to appear -- he'll get his court date later.
South Beach beware -- Smith was released on his own recognizance.

NHL lockout looms as players, owners travel to NYC
NEW YORK (AP) -- NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly says the owners and players are both to blame for their failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement before the Saturday deadline for a work stoppage.
Daly wrote in an email to The Associated Press that he hoped both sides would meet before Saturday.
"But to this point, we have received no indication that the union has anything new to say to us. And right now, we have nothing new to say to them," he wrote Tuesday. "It's unfortunate, but it's the reality of the situation."
The NHL's labor contract expires at midnight Saturday night, and a lockout appears certain. It would be the league's fourth work stoppage since 1992.
"Ultimately, we just want to negotiate a fair deal that will give all our clubs an ability to be stable and healthy," he wrote. "We hoped (and still hope) we can do that without causing any interruption to the upcoming season. Logic would have suggested we would have been able to. The fact that we haven't yet is extremely disappointing, and is a failure for which we both must share blame."
More than 250 players are set to attend the NHLPA meetings Wednesday and Thursday here to discuss the current state of CBA negotiations.
The board of governors will meet Thursday at the NHL offices here and could authorize Commissioner Gary Bettman to proceed with a lockout on Saturday if a new collective bargaining agreement hasn't been reached.
Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask, understandably, doesn't sound optimistic.
"I hear November, December and New Year's," he said Monday at Boston's annual golf pre-camp golf tournament. "But no one really knows."
Donald Fehr, who took over as union head two years ago, said his players are resigned to a work stoppage, which would follow lockouts last year in the NFL and the NBA. Many of those players will gather in Manhattan this week in this offseason's biggest show of force. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby, one of the league's biggest stars, is one of them. He skated on Tuesday with some of his Penguins teammates in suburban Pittsburgh and expects to be in New York on Wednesday.
Industry revenue has grown from $2.1 billion to $3.3 billion annually under the expiring deal. Owners asked players to cut their share of hockey related revenue from 57 to 43 percent, and then modified their offer to 46 percent during a six-year proposal. Players are concerned management hasn't addressed its problems by re-examining the teams' revenue-sharing format.
The sides haven't had a full bargaining session since Aug. 31 and the strife is threatening regular-season openers scheduled to start Oct. 11. The preseason schedule is set to begin on Sept. 19.
An 11-day strike in April 1992 caused 30 games to be postponed, and a 103-day lockout in 1994-95 caused the cancellation of 468 games and delayed the season's start until Jan. 20. The 2004 lockout started Sept. 16 when training camps were to open, as they are this year, and wasn't settled until July 13.

Midnight Hawk surged past Kristo in the stretch and remained unbeaten in his stakes debut Saturday, posting a 1 3/4-length victory in the Grade 3, $98,000 Sham at Santa Anita. Trained by Bob Baffert, the Midnight Lute colt completed a mile in 1:36 2/5 with jockey Mike Smith.
The gray three-year-old also added his name to the Kentucky Derby Leaderboard, earning 10 points for winning the "Prep Season" event.
"It's great to see a colt this talented with room to grow. That's what you want to have," Smith said. "There's room to grow here and that's really something to look forward to.
"For such a big, heavy horse he just floats over the ground."
A 6 1/4-length winner debut winner at Hollywood Park December 13, Midnight Hawk was bet down to 2-5 favoritism in the four-horse Sham following the defections of Top Fortitude and Life Is a Joy. He made his two-turn debut Saturday after capturing his first start at 7 1/2 furlongs.
"Today, more so than winning I wanted to find out if he could go long," Smith said. "If you can't go long, there's no use worrying about anything else. He proved he could go long."
Midnight Hawk raced up close in second as Kristo showed the way from his inside post, completing the opening quarter-mile in :23 1/5. Under no encouragement from the rider, Midnight Hawk took a narrow lead along the backstretch, reaching a half-mile in :46 1/5, but Kristo regained the advantage entering the far turn and passed the three-quarters mark in 1:10 2/5.
Midnight Hawk took the lead again entering the straightaway. Kristo tried to battle back in upper stretch, but he was no match for his rival in the final furlong. Midnight Hawk drifted in slightly while clear late and won going away under the finish line.
"He was much better in the gate today," Smith said. "It was evident the work they have done, he's improved. There is some other work to be done though. He's still a bit green down the lane."
Midnight Hawk raced without blinkers after donning the headgear in his first start.
"He's still a little green, but I liked him a lot better without the blinkers," Baffert said. "He was waiting a little bit on horses but he came back, he didn't look like he was very tired. He wasn't blowing very hard, so that's a good sign."
"When the crowd screams he over-exaggerates (when he changed paths to the rail late in the stretch), he thinks they're yelling right at him and gets scared," Smith added. "There are some things that Bob can do that should help that as well though."
Kristo, the 2-1 second choice, wound up 3 1/4 length clear of third-placer Ontology. It was another 9 1/2-length gap back to the trailing I'll Wrap It Up.
"The winner was much too fast," said Rafael Bejarano, rider of Kristo. "He lost ground on both turns and still beat me. He's a nice horse, a really good horse."
Midnight Hawk was bred in Kentucky by co-owner Mike Pegram. He is also campaigned by Hill 'n' Dale Equine Holdings Inc. (J.G. Sikura), Mike Kitchen, Joel Queenneville amd Mike Tice.
A half-brother to the stakes winner Mayor Marv, Midnight Hawk is out of the stakes-winning and Grade 1-placed Wolf Power mare Miss Wineshine.
Baffert was asked what's next for exciting three-year-old.
"We'll let him tell us when he's ready to roll," the three-time Kentucky Derby-winning conditioner said. "He's a big, heavy horse, and he can handle a lot. He's so heavy, I'd rather run him than work him.
"So far, so good, but we'll just take baby steps as we go and just have fun with him."

CONCORD, N.H. – Two men who lost relatives in last year's shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school urged New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte on Thursday to change her position on a gun control measure that would expand background checks.
Neil Heslin and Gilles Rousseau spoke at a news conference held by advocacy group Granite State Progress that has criticized Ayotte for voting against a key part of President Obama's push to curb gun violence. The measure would have required criminal and mental health background checks for people buying guns online or at gun shows.
Heslin's son Jesse was one of 20 students killed in the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and Rousseau lost his daughter, who was one of six educators killed.
Heslin said Newtown, where 26 people "were murdered in less than three minutes," was like the fictional television community of Mayberry, the setting for "The Andy Griffith Show," He said he came to New Hampshire on his own behalf to speak out for the gun control measure.
"I feel it's something I have to do for him," he said of his son.
Rousseau said he tried unsuccessfully to talk to Ayotte at a town hall meeting she held in New Hampshire. He said he realizes background checks might not have prevented his daughter's death, but believes the checks are the most effective way to stop felons, domestic abusers, the mentally ill and other dangerous people from getting guns.
"I had hoped that Senator Ayotte, as a mother and former attorney general of New Hampshire, would understand these commonsense facts, but it's clear from her vote and subsequent statements that she does not," he said.
Since last month's gun vote, the freshman Republican senator has been criticized in tough ads aired by gun control advocates led by wealthy New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ayotte, who faces re-election in 2016, was recently confronted at a town hall meeting by a woman whose mother was killed in the Newtown shooting. Mayors Against Illegal Guns also was a sponsor of Thursday's news conference. Bloomberg co-chairs the group.
A political group backed by Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is airing a television ad in New Hampshire in Ayotte's defense.
Ayotte argues the existing law needs to be enforced before expanding it and that the gun control measure would not have prevented the Newtown shooting because the shooter obtained the firearms by killing his mother, who bought them legally.
Ayotte spokesman Jeff Grappone said Thursday that Ayotte has kept her focus on keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and improving the mental health system.
"She voted for legislation that had bipartisan support to fix the current broken background check system, increase the prosecution of those who illegally seek to obtain firearms and provide additional resources for school safety, while protecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. She also worked across party lines to pass a bipartisan amendment in the Senate to strengthen the nation's mental health system," Grappone said in a statement.
But Zandra Rice Hawkins, the advocacy group's executive director, called the alternative bill a decoy bill "created by the Washington gun lobby to give politicians like Kelly Ayotte political cover."Since last month's gun vote, the freshman Republican senator has been criticized in tough ads aired by gun control advocates led by wealthy New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ayotte, who faces re-election in 2016, was recently confronted at a town hall meeting by a woman whose mother was killed in the Newtown shooting.

Emmy nominations arrive Thursday morning. Early. To save you from having to wake up at 5:35 a.m. PDT, we're sweeping through the high-profile categories one last time. We called the comedy races and the drama nominees. Now it's time to look at the titles and big-name actors competing for the movie/miniseries Emmys.
Surprise: Emmy believes! Well, in ratings, at least. "The Bible" makes it in.
Snub: We're betting (hoping?) that voters have the good sense to ignore "Phil Spector," David Mamet's whitewashed and dramatically inert account of the events leading to the record producer's trial for the murder of Lana Clarkson.
The nominees: "Behind the Candelabra," "Top of the Lake," "American Horror Story: Asylum," "Political Animals," "Parade's End," "The Bible"
Surprise: That somebody who isn't now or wasn't once an A-list movie star wins a nomination?
Snub: Kenneth Branagh received strong reviews for PBS' "Wallander" but the three-episode series' deliberate pacing tried some viewers' patience.
The nominees: Michael Douglas, "Behind the Candelabra"; Al Pacino, "Phil Spector"; Benedict Cumberbatch, "Parade's End"; Matt Damon, "Behind the Candelabra"; Toby Jones, "The Girl"
Surprise: Not nominated last year for comedy series, Showtime pulls an end-run and broadcasts "The Big C" as four, one-hour episodes, almost ensuring a nod for star Laura Linney in a category she has won twice in her career.
Snub: Rebecca Hall ("Parade's End"), Sienna Miller ("The Girl") and Brenda Blethyn and Hilary Swank ("Mary and Martha") could be among the well-known names passed over.
The nominees: Elisabeth Moss, "Top of the Lake"; Jessica Lange, "American Horror Story: Asylum"; Helen Mirren, "Phil Spector"; Sigourney Weaver, "Political Animals"; Laura Linney, "The Big C: Hereafter"
Surprise: Jeffrey Tambor might well join Elisabeth Moss as a double nominee if he wins a nod for "Phil Spector" to go along with his turn as the Bluth family patriarch in "Arrested Development."
Snub: Dan Aykroyd was fine as Liberace's sourpuss manager in "Behind the Candelabra." But freaky beats no-nonsense every day of the week with voters, so he'll probably have to applaud castmate Rob Lowe's alien-faced turn in the campy movie.
The nominees: Peter Mullan, "Top of the Lake"; James Cromwell, "American Horror Story: Asylum"; Jeffrey Tambor, "Phil Spector"; Zachary Quinto, "American Horror Story: Asylum"; Rob Lowe, "Behind the Candelabra"
Surprise: Lifetime movies aren't typically Emmy powerhouses, but Alfre Woodard's funny turn as the cranky Ouiser in "Steel Magnolias" might find a place at the table.
Snub: Imelda Staunton's portrayal of Alma Hitchcock in "The Girl" will probably fall just short of making the list.
The nominees: Sarah Paulson, "American Horror Story: Asylum"; Holly Hunter, "Top of the Lake"; Alfre Woodard, "Steel Magnolias"; Ellen Burstyn, "Political Animals"; Lily Rabe, "American Horror Story: Asylum"

Growing up in a hardscrabble town along the Rio Grande in Mexico, Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar crossed the border with his brother each day to attend school in Brownsville, Texas, long before his path led to Harvard, Yale and Stanford.
On Tuesday, Gov. Jerry Brown took Cuéllar's immigrant journey to new heights, nominating the prominent Stanford University law professor to a vacancy on the California Supreme Court — in the process adding a Latino to the state's high court and again choosing a legal scholar without judicial experience to reshape the court for decades to come.
The governor's selection of Cuéllar, known for his expertise in immigration and other policy issues, including stints as an adviser in the Obama administration, is likely to contribute to one of the most profound shifts in the Supreme Court's composition and ideology since the late 1980s.
The 41-year-old Cuéllar, known as "Tino," would replace Justice Marvin Baxter, a longtime conservative stalwart who recently announced that he will retire at the end of the year. A three-member commission that includes Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye and Attorney General Kamala Harris must confirm Cuéllar, but that is ordinarily a formality.
"Tino Cuéllar is a renowned scholar," the governor said in a statement. "His vast knowledge and even temperament will, without question, add further luster to our highest court."
Brown has been under pressure to name a Latino to the court since Justice Carlos Moreno stepped down three years ago. The state's Latino legislative caucus quickly praised Cuéllar's selection on Tuesday.
And the governor is not done transforming the state Supreme Court. Brown also must still name a replacement for Justice Joyce Kennard, who retired earlier this year.
By naming Cuéllar now, the governor assures that he will be on the November ballot, enabling the new justice to be approved by the voters for a full 12-year term.
In opting for Cuéllar, Brown has reached into the law school ranks for a second time, foregoing the traditional approach of elevating appeals court justices or federal judges. His other Supreme Court pick this term was Goodwin Liu, a UC-Berkeley law scholar who has received high marks since joining the court.
The combination of Cuéllar and Liu, who is 43, is likely to have a lasting impact on the court, given their youth.
"(Cuéllar's) nomination will add substantial intellectual firepower," said Shaun Martin, a University of San Diego law professor who blogs on the court.
Cuéllar has been at Stanford since 2001, specializing in administrative and immigration law and serving in key roles in the Obama administration, writing on subjects ranging from border security to international refugee camps. He was a special assistant on justice and regulatory policy for the White House in 2009 and 2010 and also served on the president's transition team in 2008.
At Stanford, Cuéllar has been director of the school's international studies program for the past year.
Cuéllar's life mirrors the classic immigrant's tale. After living in the Mexican border town of Matamoros, where he made his daily trek to school in Texas, his family got permanent resident visas and moved to Calexico in California's Imperial County, where he attended high school.
Cuéllar, in a statement, said he was "enormously honored" by the nomination.
In an interview with Stanford Magazine last year, Cuéllar recalled how his upbringing influenced his view of politics and government, saying the expectations at his high school were low for Mexican students, many of them children of farmworkers.
He also recounted being stopped for his papers as a teenager, and that "it was a common thing to be surrounded by law enforcement."
Yet, Cuéllar told the magazine, "Part of what happened to me when I moved to the U.S. with a green card was there was a clear sense that even the very imperfect country I was joining was an extraordinary place."
Cuéllar, who later became a U.S. citizen, went on to get his undergraduate degree from Harvard and his law degree from Yale, and a philosophy degree from Stanford. He also clerked for 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Mary Schroeder.
Cuéllar's ascension to the state Supreme Court creates one of California's pre-eminent power couples. He is married to San Jose U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh, who has developed a national reputation for her handling of high-tech cases such as the Apple v. Samsung patent feud and the Silicon Valley poaching lawsuit. They have two young children.
With Cuéllar taking over Baxter's seat, Brown is expected to focus his attention now on Kennard's seat, which has been vacant longer.
There is no indication when the governor might act, but among the candidates floated have been UCLA law school Dean Rachel Moran, San Francisco appeals court Justice Martin Jenkins and James Humes, presiding justice of the appeals court in San Francisco and a former top Brown aide who would become the first openly gay justice if selected.

Body styling parts should enhance and improve your vehicle's inherent styling, making it look lower, sleeker, more aerodynamic and unique compared to other vehicles. Ideally these augmentations should blend with and complement the body's natural contours, not look like added on afterthoughts. To achieve this appearance, you need the perfect combination of professional styling and superior materials that are only available with Xenon body styling parts.
Xenon has the best stylists in the field create visually exciting designs that enhance the original factory design. Instead of designing one part and trying to adapt it to every vehicle, Xenon stylists custom design each part to improve each vehicle's unique styling features. Once installed, a Xenon part becomes an integral part of the vehicle's design. Xenon even gains a styling edge through their exclusive use of polyurethane for their body parts. Unlike fiberglass or ABS parts, urethane parts can have endless design features molded into the part for strength, fit and styling.
Besides styling, urethane has other advantages that have made it Xenon's material of choice. Urethane is virtually unbreakable. Unlike fiberglass and even ABS plastic, urethane can take an impact that severely distorts the part and have the part return to its original shape. And when painted with a flexible paint, urethane can withstand moderate flexing without damaging the paint. To facilitate painting, Xenon does not use silicone mold release. Instead they use a wax-based mold release film, so less time will be needed to prep the parts for painting.
Their state-of-the-art manufacturing process ensures that Xenon urethane parts will perfectly fit your vehicle, so they look like an original part of the design. All parts are designed and engineered to use as much of the factory mounting points and hardware as possible, for a factory look. Every part comes complete with hardware and detailed illustrated instructions, and every part is manufactured in the USA. All Xenon polyurethane parts and kits carry a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship and to perform satisfactorily under normal operating conditions. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser.

In 2007, Sean Faust and business partner Brad Ellis came together with Memphis music icon Doug Easley to create a company offering full-service audio and video recording and mixing services.
Both Faust and Easley had recording studios that burned in 2005 and New School Media is the Phoenix that has risen from those ashes.
"We had all the ingredients," Easley said of their new project.
And indeed they do. Easley has recorded music heavyweights from Sonic Youth and Wilco to Jack White, Loretta Lynn and Jeff Buckley.
The team of New School Media includes Adam Woodard, from left, Brad Ellis, Sean T. Faust, Brian Wurzburg and Doug Easley. New School offers multimedia services, including film and video production.
(Photo: Lance Murphey )
Faust earned degrees in theater and documentary film production from Syracuse University, has more than 15 years of experience and grew up running sound with his father, saying that his Saturday mornings were full of cables and amplifiers as opposed to cartoons.
Ellis is a writer and director with 10 feature films under his belt, including "Act One," which claimed Best Narrative Feature, Hometown Award in the 2005 Indie Memphis Film Festival.
The studio is a 3,300-square-foot complex swathed in grass cloth walls, swag lamps, retro seating and original Lamar Sorrento artwork. To take a tour of the facility is to walk through a museum of vintage styles and scenery, ending in a top of the line, 5.1 audio mixing suite, something more akin to mission control at NASA with dim lighting punctuated by bright LEDs and computer monitors.
The advantage of a fine-tuned mix of the auditory and visual under one roof is best explained by creative director Adam Woodard, who recounts the producers of the popular wrestling documentary "Memphis Heat" coming to New School Media (nsmedia.com).
"Sean had done scores for film before, and they came to us needing a soundtrack," Woodard said. "What they wanted was something kind of funky and Memphis, and Doug was a good fit for that because he's kind of funky and Memphis. So we scratched that out and that was a pretty collaborative effort from our film side and our music side."
The team has worked on the upcoming Antenna Club documentary, the score and sound design for Alan Spearman's viral "As I Am" documentary, a Myla Smith music video and the ongoing video production of Sun Studio Sessions, a weekly music program shown on PBS affiliates across the country.
Branding and training videos have been produced for the likes of General Electric, ServiceMaster, Hilton Hotels, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, what Woodard calls "the sausage work."
"We love doing this creative stuff, but obviously we've got to pay the bills, too," Faust said.
"We make the sausage nobody wants to see us make," added Woodard, "but it keeps the lights on and gives us the opportunity to do a lot more creative stuff."
A video for Victory Bicycle Studio seen on the Victory website is an introduction to what the company and its mission are, and is the sort of project the New School Media team takes to heart.
"That's a good example of things we really enjoy doing," Faust said. "It's a company profile, but it takes a different approach."
Easley has recently recorded The Oblivians, Harlan T. Bobo, the Magic Kids, Perfect Vessels, Love Clowns, Bosco Delrey, Linda Heck and Snakehips in his studio. While he concedes that the proliferation of home recording via an Apple computer and expensive software can get the job done, it is Easley's years of experience and gifted ear that make the venture worthwhile for any artist looking to record.
"A lot of bands haven't even seen this place and most of the time when they do come in they love it, just the vibe of it," Woodard said. "Every musician I've ever brought in here, they just fall in love with the place."
When it comes to video shoots and production for their corporate clients, their advantage is a network of freelancers and subcontractors at hand, allowing them to scale up or down depending on the clients' needs so that overhead and costs are kept as low as possible.
The group is focusing more on work such as they did for Victory and other corporate profiles as they look to grow and knit together the steady, money-generating work with their creative itch.
"Where we're able to do something for a company that has a budget, but that we also feel creatively satisfied doing," Woodard said.
The niche Woodard and company looks to is a smaller business just getting started that has a Web presence but doesn't yet have their story told in video. "Those are profitable and creatively rewarding."
They tout themselves on their website as "… a small group of production specialists with a passion for storytelling." Telling stories, whether through video, audio or both; whether independent or corporate film, is where the fire burns for them.
"It's all a balancing act between that sausage work and that creative work and making it make sense," Woodard said. "Memphis is the kind of town where you really have to do that, you have to play that balancing act."

healthy habits
Battling the obesity crisis with a ravenous blue monster and singing vegetables.
The childhood obesity rate has tripled in the past 30 years. Presently, 1 in 3 children in the United States is overweight or obese.
Sesame Street is committed to reversing this trend by connecting with preschoolers when they are forming their eating, exercise, and hygiene habits, and setting them on track for a lifetime of wellness.
It turns out that Sesame Street's furry friends have a remarkable ability to promote better choices. A 2010 study concludes that when children are shown fruits and vegetables linked with favorite Sesame Street characters, they choose those foods at a much higher rate — and eat more of them. Even broccoli.
Since 2004, we have been integrating messages about healthy food choices and exercise into Sesame Street as part of our Healthy Habits for Life initiative. In a recent show and public-service announcement, our Sesame gang gets some help from First Lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama pops by to plant a vegetable garden with Elmo, explaining how foods you grow help you grow up big and strong, like her and Big Bird.
In another memorable show, Sesame Street is transformed into a '50s musical, American Fruit Stand, in which Miles sings "I Love Fruit" (a parody of "I Feel Good"), a song about how good fruit tastes and how good it is for the body. Watch "American Fruit Stand." Through our educational outreach efforts, we've been able to extend the impact of these health messages to even more children.
In 2006, we delivered a multimedia outreach program to child-care providers that included in-classroom activities, simple recipes, a storybook, and a DVD featuring a game show hosted by Elmo. In the program, fruits and vegetables literally talk back to their pint-sized critics, advising kids to "Eat your rainbow!" and "Move your body!" When the materials were researched with child-care programs, 98 percent of providers reported that children either "improved" or "greatly improved" their food choices during participation in the program.
In 2009, we extended the program's reach by distributing outreach kits to families who are most at risk; over 4.5 million Healthy Habits bilingual multimedia kits were made available through the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), which serves over 9 million mothers and young children each month across the country.
Parents eagerly embraced the kit's messages about nutrition and enjoyed using Sesame language, such as a "sometime food" (cookie) and an "anytime food" (apple), to motivate their children to make better choices. As one mother said, "Now I can tell them why they can't have that cookie…it's a sometime food!" Watch Cookie Monster in "Cookie Is a Sometime Food."
Our latest endeavor: helping families and children with particularly limited resources to make healthy choices. Small budgets and healthy eating can make for a challenging recipe, but the multimedia outreach kit Food for Thought: Eating Well on a Budget gives parents and caregivers the confidence that it can be done. Freezing leftovers, looking for sales, and tapping into community resources are just some of the simple healthy habits that can help stretch a budget.
The kit provides not just education but also much-needed emotional support, helping families cope with the stresses and challenges that come with limited access to food, while encouraging them to have a positive outlook.
To date, almost 6 million families and childcare centers have received a Sesame Street Healthy Habits or Food for Thought outreach kit.
Through our continued outreach efforts, shows, and other initiatives, we're working toward making healthy habits an ingredient in every family's life.

- 45% of parents say their children talk about "healthy" topics, such as eating more fruits and vegetables.2
- Almost 6 million families and childcare centers received a Sesame Street outreach kit, while reaching "countless" Sesame Street viewers.3

Wichita Falls 4th of July Fireworks Safety Tips + County Guidlines [VIDEO]
The Wichita Falls Fire Department has teamed up with the Wichita County Sheriff's office to ensure everyone has a fun and safe Fourth of July holiday this year.
"We want to impress upon everybody about using fireworks safely outside of city limits," Jon Reese, Wichita Falls Fire Chief said.
The city of Wichita Falls prohibits the sale or use of fireworks within the city limits. This also includes the transportation of fireworks across city lines.
Police Chief, Manuel Borrego, said although his officers will not be at the city limits awaiting individuals to purchase fireworks and head back across town he did warn those caught with fireworks would be issued a citation – so if the sign says 35, don't do 60.
"Our main concern is the people firing off firecrackers and roman candles inside city limits," Borrego said.
Last year, the Fire Dept. answered 75 fireworks related calls, 14 of which were grass/brush fires caused by fireworks.
"The main thing is to be safe, [and] to be careful. If you do start a grass fire we ask that you please call 911. Report the fire. You don't have to tell anyone it was set by fireworks. You just leave your name [and say] it's a grass fire on such and such street so we can have a deputy respond and get an overview of the situation before the fire crews even get there," County Sheriff, David Duke said.
To ensure a safe holiday, WFFD has comprised a list of safety tips that can be found below.
- Make sure fireworks are legal in the area before buying or using them.
- Always have adult supervision
- Avoid buying fireworks packaged in brown paper because this is often a sign that the fireworks were made for professional displays and they could pose a danger to consumers
- Never place any body part directly over a fireworks device while lighting a fuse. Use a safe distance.
- Keep a bucket of water or garden hose in case of fire.
- Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
- Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly
- Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.
- After fireworks complete their burning, douse the spent device with plenty of water from a bucket or hose before discarding it to prevent a trash fire.
Here is a complete list of Wichita County fireworks guidelines:
1. The use of fireworks in an outdoor environment by any person is restricted, but Wichita County is not banning the sale of fireworks this 4th of July season.
2. Fireworks include, but are not limited to, any commercial fireworks product sold for personal use, other flammable materials used in activities associated with recreational pyrotechnics, or any other activity that could result in a wildfire.
3. The use of fireworks is allowed under the following guidelines ONLY:
a. Fireworks may not be used within the right-of-way of a public road or highway or any other public lands at any time unless specifically allowed by legal authority.
b. The person(s) using the fireworks must have prior permission of the landowner with name and contact number, if not the landowner. Unauthorized passage onto private land is currently against the law.
c. A separate person over the age of 18 years must be present to act as a spotter to observe for possible fires.
d. A minimum of 5 gallons of water must be available on site.
e. A minimum of a one (1) gallon pump/sprayer or 3 lb. or greater Residential/Recreational A-B-C chemical fire extinguisher or charged water hose must be on site. Other fire suppression tools, such as shovels or wet burlap bags are recommended.
f. Fireworks may not be discharged in brushy areas. Fireworks are not to be discharged in tall grass, above nine (9) inches or in very dry conditions, cleared or plowed ground without stubble is preferable.
g. Fireworks should not be discharged less than 25 feet from any property line or right-of-way. h. Aerial fireworks must not leave area you are using to discharge fireworks.
h. No fireworks may be used if winds are 20 mph or greater.
i. Persons using fireworks must have trash bags or other covered container to remove fireworks refuse from the site and properly dispose.
j. Any business owner or individual allowing individuals to ignite fireworks on their premise with or without a charge, must register this activity with the Wichita County Sheriff, 940-766-8170, and their servicing volunteer fire department at least twelve hours before the activity begins. The person making notification must give name, phone number, and address of responsible person, as well as the event location and the hours of the activity.
NOTE: Violation of this Order is a Class C Misdemeanor punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.
Request: If a fire starts and is not readily extinguishable, please call 911, report the fire and remain on scene until appropriate personnel arrive.
Listen to Wichita County Judge Woody Gossom talk fireworks with Joe Tom White and Mike Hendren on the Rise and Shine Show:
On behalf of all of us here at Townsquare Media - Wichita Falls, have a safe and wonderful Fourth of July.

I was playing a layered part and noticed something was wrong. I turned the tuning knob on the slim phatty from the normal 12 o'clock position to almost 1 o'clock and everything was as normal. After a while I had to take it back to 12 to get it sounding right again.
This might be dumb and redundant question but I'm no analog synth expert and I'm guessing this is what guys are talking about when they mention analog synths going out of tune.
If this is the way it is I'll still take it. I have found so much joy in the sound of the Korg Ms 20 and Moog Slim Phatty that even if it fades out of tune it's worth the hassle.

Danny Elfman's soundtrack to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland will be released on CD (an ancient kind of optical disc used to store digital audio) next Tuesday, March 2nd, and there's some short clips at the Amazon store if you desire a teaser. I couldn't help noticing the opening song – with children's voices singing "Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?" – and I found the complete lyrics at a blog called cinemusic.net. I'll include them with that website's charming introduction:
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, starring Johnny Depp as
Elijah WoodThe Mad Hatter begins pissing off prickly Lewis Carroll purists on March 5, 2010 in theaters everywhere in eye-popping 3D. Lending musical support is Burton's constant composer Danny Elfman, AKA film music's most awesome red head.
Threaded throughout the score is an original song penned by Elfman, called "Alice's Theme", and it opens up the Disney Records score album due in stores on March 2 (obligatory Amazon link). Here's a sneak peek at the song's lyrics (thanks to the supremely talented LD for these)…
"Alice's Theme"
Music and Lyrics by Danny Elfman
Oh, Alice, dear where have you been?
So near, so far or in between?
What have you heard what have you seen?
Alice, Alice, please, Alice!
Oh, tell us are you big or small
To try this one or try them all
It's such a long, long way to fall
Alice, Alice, oh, Alice
How can you know this way not that?
You choose the door you choose the path
Perhaps you should be coming back
Another day, another day
And nothing is quite what is seems
You're dreaming are you dreaming, oh, Alice?
(Oh, how will you find your way? Oh, how will you find your way?)
(There's not time for tears today. There's no time for tears today.)
So many doors – how did you choose
So much to gain so much to lose
So many things got in your way
No time today, no time today
Be careful not to lose your head
Just think of what the doormouse [sic] said…Alice!
Did someone pull you by the hand?
How many miles to Wonderland?
Please tell us so we'll understand
Alice…Alice…Oh, Alice
(Oh how will you find you way? … Oh, how will you find you way?)
Sing along!
I've never met a prickly Lewis Carroll purist, let alone a pissed-off one, but I would presume they're easily decapitated with a vorpal sword. Or defenestrated with a defibrillator.

How long does it take? 30 minutes
Category: Vegetarian
Name: Gay
Why is it a favorite meal? It comes out great every time and I can use any variety of vegetables in any season. It also leaves plenty for lunch for the next few days.
Fast and Easy Veggie Soup
Serves 6
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (4 inch) stalk/branch fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 medium yellow squash, chopped
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 medium red skin potato, chopped
1 large (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes (you can puree the tomatoes if you don't like them chunky)
5 ½ cups water
1 rind of Parmesan cheese (optional)*
1 cup cooked cannellini beans (or one 14 ounce can)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat a large soup pot on medium heat and add oil. Once oil is hot, add onions and rosemary. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
2. Add carrot, squash, zucchini, and potato and sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes, 5 ½ cups of water, and Parmesan rind if using.
3. Bring soup to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add beans. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove rosemary stalk before serving.
4. Serve with grated Parmesan cheese or stir in pesto.
*If you buy Parmesan cut from a big wheel, it will have the rind on it that you would normally throw away. Save these in the fridge and use them when simmering the soup. It adds great depth of flavor.
Thanks Gay, and good luck! Readers, give Gay a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

TEMPE — The general public got their first real look at ASU guard Jahii Carson, and the former Mesa High star delivered.
Carson led all scorers, hitting 6-of-11 two-point shots and 2-of-3 three pointers during Saturday's Maroon and Gold scrimmage at Wells Fargo Arena.
For good measure, Carson added two assists, three steals and four deflections on defense. For a player with a lot of expectations heaped upon him, the freshman was just glad to be back and playing with his teammates after being academically ineligible a year ago.
"I definitely feel like a monkey is off my back," Carson said. "Being out here playing, it feels so good."
Carson averaged 32.2 points per game in his senior season at Mesa, and his ineligibility in 2011-12 was a harbinger of things to come for Herb Sendek's squad that finished a dismal 10-21 campaign.
Carson's presence heading into this season has made a difference around Tempe according to Sendek.
"Ticket sales are going really well, we're all pointing toward that season opener November 10," he said.
Carson isn't the only new face who will play a key role for the Sun Devils this season. In all, seven new players are on the roster, including guard Evan Gordon, a transfer from Liberty and the younger brother of New Orleans Hornets guard Eric Gordon.
Gordon hit 3-of-5 shots and a three-pointer during Saturday's session.
"One thing Evan can do is score," Sendek said. "If he'll take good shots, he really gives us a scoring dimension."
Sendek also singled out senior forward Carrick Felix for his leadership — an important ingredient for this year's squad in the aftermath of Trent Lockett's transfer to Marquette following last season.
"He's just done a great job with leadership as a fifth-year senior, a young man who has already graduated and is working on his Master's program, he's just been a real consistent voice for our team," Sendek stated. "He's been positive, he's been encouraging, but he's also been firm when he's had to."
Felix, a product of Millennium High School in Goodyear, is ASU's leading returning scorer as he averaged 10.5 points per contest in 2011-12.

As every home owner knows, buying a professional inspection is very important and will significantly reduce the risk of molds, lead, asbestos, as well as other harmful allergens commonly found in the household. You should get an inspection before closing on a home or property purchase, when you are thinking of selling your property, as well as an overall inventory of your home's condition.
I was in dire need of an inspection of another of my properties. I knew BMa Industries conducted a wide array of inspections, so I figured I had to give them a call. Over at BMa Inspections they conduct: pre purchase inspections, mold inspections, and water damage inspections with next day reports and asbestos inspections, lead inspections, and radon gas inspections, allergen and fungal inspections with reports in three days. BMa Inspections strongly supports their clients as well as the work they provide. BMa Inspections encourages it's clients to accompany them during the inspection. This way the client is able to ask the inspector any questions or concerns he or she may have. Also, this gives the client the ability to fully understand the process of what may be going on throughout their home.
I was in need of an asbestos and lead inspection for one of my properties. Asbestos is a fiber that has been used primarily for insulation. There are many problems that are associated with asbestos, such as lung cancer. Removal of asbestos can be done two ways, however they both require a trained professional. Lead is also associated with a number of health related issues such as high-blood pressure, problem pregnancies, and digestive problems amongst many others. Before buying or selling any properties you should contact a trained professional to conduct an inspection. Both asbestos and lead are very harmful to your health.
I called BMa Inspections to conduct the inspections I needed. I knew BMa Inspections would take care of what I was looking for efficiently and quickly. Per my request, BMa Inspections came to the property and diagnosed the problem. BMa Inspections has a skilled team that will not only diagnose the problem, they will team you teach you what causes the problem, how to fix it, and even discuss routine maintenance. Within a few moments my property was all set! It's no wonder why BMa Inspectionsis rated number one in the industry.

Black Friday is one of the craziest days in the malls — and on the streets around the shopping centers — heck, all year. While we expect you will turn to the Internet and to the ads in your Thanksgiving Day newspaper to find out about great deals, we know live-from-the-scene reports can help you set your shopping plan of attack.
So we've created a Twitter hashtag that will run live on Timesunion.com from midnight on Thanksgiving through midnight Black Friday.
Share with us sales and sellouts; tell us about the crowds and the traffic. See a brawl in the parking lot or had an especially helpful salesperson at your favorite electronics store? We want to hear about the longest — and shortest — lines, too, as well as tips and tricks for finding the best deal.
Basically, if it happens while you're out and about in the 518 on Friday, we want to know. Just make sure each Tweet has #518BF in it, so Capital Region residents can take some of the crazy out of the holiday shopping kickoff.
If you aren't on Twitter yet, it's free to join. Just log on to Twitter.com.

Nickolas Pappas: "Philosophy Begins in Wonder… and in the Ocean"
Wednesday, October 2, 2013, 4 pm to 5:30 pm
402 Millett Hall
Current Students
The public
What is philosophy and what were its origins in Ancient Greece? Plato's Theaetetus is primarily a study of knowledge, but that main theme also weaves through several sub-themes, including the question of teaching philosophy in schools, and a question that lurks behind that one: How did (or does) philosophy begin? Socrates offers two mythical references to the beginning of philosophy, one of them imagining Ocean, first cause of the world for Homer, as philosophy's first subject; the other equating philosophy with Iris, goddess of the rainbow. But why should Iris represent philosophy? Looking into this riddle generates a final surprising suggestion about where Plato thinks Socrates belongs in the philosophical tradition.
This lecture is free and open to the public.

A teenager arrested after a seven-year-old boy was hit and killed by a car at a caravan site is still being questioned by police.
The 16-year-old boy was allegedly driving a BMW car at Shirenewton caravan site, east of Cardiff, south Wales, when the incident happened at 3pm on Saturday.
He was arrested soon after and remains in police custody, where he is being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

VAT compliance is becoming an increasing burden for businesses. New research from Accenture found that 65% of European businesses view VAT as a significant administrative burden. Furthermore, survey respondents are also uncertain they are getting their VAT returns right.
There is a clear need for change. Pressure to improve revenue collection with increasingly strained resources is driving a search for better solutions.
The current advances in digital technologies provide an open opportunity. 82% of European businesses believe that revenue agencies should do more with technology to help improve VAT compliance and delivering public service for the future. The success requires the use of digital technologies as well as a real shift in the attitudes of revenue agencies and businesses to improve collaboration.
Forging new relationships
Businesses are struggling with complex VAT compliance requirements while revenue agencies are losing out on vital tax collection. Digital technologies can help build stronger relationships and close the VAT gap.
Cut the VAT gap
The Accenture VAT study surveyed small and medium-sized enterprise employees and large-enterprise employees in United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands and Spain in February 2015.

Pantothenic acid and biotin are types of B vitamins. They are water-soluble, which means that the body cant store them. If the body cant use all of the vitamin, the extra leaves the body through the urine. These vitamins must be replaced in the body every day.
Alternative Names
Pantothenic acid; Pantethine; Vitamin B5
Pantothenic acid and biotin are essential for growth. They help the body break down and use food. This is called
Pantothenic acid also plays a role in the production of hormones and cholesterol.
Food Sources
Biotin is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including:
- Cereal
- Chocolate
- Egg yolk
- Legumes
- Milk
- Nuts
- Organ meats (liver, kidney)
- Pork
- Yeast
Pantothenic acid is found in foods that are good sources of B vitamins, including the following:

- Poultry
- White and sweet potatoes
- Whole-grain cereals
- Yeast
Side Effects
There are no known deficiencies of either pantothenic acid or biotin.
Large doses of pantothenic acid do not cause symptoms, other than (possibly)
Reference Intakes
Recommendations for pantothenic acid and biotin, as well as other nutrients, are provided in the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) developed by the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine. DRI is a term for a set of reference intakes that are used to plan and assess the nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include:
- Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake that is enough to meet the nutrient needs of nearly all (97 - 98%) healthy people.
- Adequate Intake (AI): established when there is not enough evidence to develop an RDA. It is set at a level that is thought to ensure enough nutrition.
Dietary Reference INtakes for pantothenic acid:
- Age 0-6 months: 1.7* milligrams per day (mg/day)
- Age 7-12 months 1.8* mg/day
- Age 1-3 years: 2* mg/day
- Age 4-8 years: 3* mg/day
- Age 9-13 years: 4* mg/day
- Age 14 and older: 5* mg/day
*Adequate Intake (AI)
- Age 0-6 months: 5* micrograms per day (mcg/day)
- Age 7-12 months: 6* mcg/day
- Age 1-3 years: 8* mcg/day
- Age 4-8 years: 12* mcg/day
- Age 9-13 years: 20* mcg/day
- Age 14 -18 years: 25* mcg/day
- 19 and older: 30* mcg/day
*Adequate Intake (AI)
The best way to get the daily requirement of essential vitamins is to eat a balanced diet that contains a variety of foods.
Specific recommendations depend on age, gender, and other factors (such as pregnancy). Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding need higher amounts. Ask your health care provider which amount is best for you.

With his usual Kris Jenner-ish shag cut nowhere in sight, the 54-year-old purple wonder made a rare TV appearance on "The View" today to debut his brand new pimped out retro 'do
While Prince rocked the '70s coif, strangely neither Barbara Walters nor any of the other ladies ever asked him anything about it.

Quade Cooper strongly believes his controversial boxing debut will make him a mentally tougher rugby player.
Cooper struggled under the immense World Cup pressure in New Zealand 14 months ago, but he feels the challenging preparation for his February 8 bout has helped take his mental powers to a new level.
The Wallabies and Queensland Reds playmaker has no doubt he'll come out of his fight against Barry Dunnett a much improved player - both physically and mentally.
"Mentally, boxing is something else," Cooper said.
"You have to push your body through so many different limits and it's something that I've grown from and will continue to grow from, and the more I put in the more I'll get out of it.
"Mentally, boxing makes you a whole lot stronger and some of the training things I've had to go through are things I never thought possible and I've pushed my body to whole new limits.
"So I'm very excited about the rugby season and the fight just around the corner."
While many Reds fans are disappointed to see Cooper missing Queensland's second and final pre-season trial against the Super Rugby champion Chiefs outfit to take on seasoned fighter Dunnett, the 24-year-old has indicated it won't be his last bout.
He will box on the undercard to good friend Sonny Bill Williams' heavyweight bout against South African Francois Botha at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
Williams attributed his career-best 2012 form for the Chiefs and All Blacks to his boxing training, fighting American Clarence Tillman just a fortnight before the season kicked off, and expects Cooper to reap the same benefits.
Cooper has doubled up his training regime, fulfilling his Reds commitments on top of his boxing sessions with trainer Shannon King.
"I feel this is something that has put me in a good position leading into the rugby season," Cooper said.
"It has given me something else to focus on and also been able to get me in great condition fitness wise as well as mentally."
The 38-Test five-eighth must back up quickly to fight 32-year-old Dunnett as he'll play in the Reds opening 2013 trial against the Blues six days before in Toowoomba.

Rule Changes For 2012
There is a good article at the official Detroit Lions website, outlining some of the rule changes coming out of the league meetings that are going on in Atlanta. While the article itself deals more with the fact that the owners voted to move the trade deadline back a couple of weeks (after week 6, to after week 8), I thought this rule amendment was much more significant.

Brad Hawkins, spokesman for the Dallas-based airline, told The Associated Press the computer glitch impaired the airline's ability to do such things as conduct check-in, print boarding passes and monitor the weight of the aircraft. Some flights were on the taxiway and diverted back to the terminal after the glitch occurred around 11 p.m. ET Friday, he said.
By nearly 2 a.m. ET Saturday, service still hadn't resumed, but Hawkins said "it's definitely all hands on deck to figure out the situation." However, he said the airline doesn't do redeye flights and was near "the end of our operational day," so it wasn't clear if any flights would take off before daybreak.
Because of the late hour of the disruption, the computer problem affected far more flights on the West Coast, but Hawkins had no estimate on how many were grounded.
Southwest, based in Dallas, conducts on average 3,400 flights a day, he said.

...for those of you who don't know about the copperopolis road race, it is hilly and the road hasn't been repaved since the probably the new deal.
there were some doubters that i was actually going to do the copperopolis road race. in fact, nice guy, team captain brian peterson sent me the following email in january when i said i was going to do this race:
you are really going to do copperopolis? don't you know there is a hill on that course?yes, i knew there was a hill on the course! thus began my peterson training, which i discussed in an earlier blog post. i couldn't wait to cross the finish line and bellow out peterson's name: PEEEEETEEEERSOOOOOON!!!! i didn't so much care if i was first or last, i just really wanted to yell his name at the finish line and get some weird looks. so m and i woke up early for the race and i made the porta potty stop right when i got there… now, it was a super long porta potty line. i mean, extra long. There were probably 12 porta potties in commission. i couldn't figure out why the line was long… i mean, i know it was 7:30am, so a bunch of people could have been taking their morning craps… but the line was moving very slowly. especially given how many stalls there were. after standing in line for awhile, i started to notice certain doors weren't moving at all. [now, please note: these porta poties didn't have the red/green markers on them if you knew if they were open/closed]
at this point, i am about 15 people back, and i get out of line and try the door on the end, which i had noticed hadn't moved in awhile…
the next one, locked.
the 3rd one.
i started going down the line of porta potties grabbing the handles and yanking them... and 6 were OPEN! there was a bit of commotion in the porta potty line at that point in time.
jesus, people! check the doors!
this happened yet again about 30 minutes later. i went back to the rest room while some of the men's fields were started and there were 8 people in line. this time i just walk right up and start opening doors, and i demonstrated that 4 doors in a row were open.
at this point, i decide it was going to be a pretty good day. next, i did a very important thing:
the climb up the last lap was hard for me. when the pavement smoothed out,
anyway, long story short is that was hard!
i ate 4 burritos when I got home!
(homemade burrittos... not serious restaurant burritos.)
