National review of program experiences in support of girls' education in Yemen
The review drawing on the lessons learned and experiences that have proven successful and promising will be pursued to take the acceleration of girls education to scale.
The National Review also brings together the information base necessary to understand strategies that have been effective in improving the enrollment rates and quality of education of girls. In addition, the National Review demonstrates best practice recommendations to the Ministry of Education and development partners, based on lessons learned. It also offers developmental partners.
The National Review brought out the disparities that exist in between the Governorates such as Dhamar, Raimah, Saada and Al Jawf need more attention.
There is also need to reach out to special children and those belonging to marginalized and disadvantaged groups.
The total number of programs addressing access and low enrollment accounted for 24%. Programs addressing drop-out and completion issues accounted for 19% and programs addressing quality and learning outcomes accounted for only 13%. Issues such as equality, relevance, and grade repetition had a lower percentage of focus in these programs.
In his opening statement, UNICEF Country Representative, Dr. Aboudou Karimou Adjibade said that The National Review marks another step forward in the joint cooperation of the Girls Education Sector of the Ministry of Education, UNICEF and the GTZ. It will guide us towards better utilization and integration of policies that we have all worked hard to put in place. We can now operationalize these important policy guidelines into our program interventions.
The National Review is aimed at enhancing coordination among diverse and multi-sectoral girls education programs, tracking of budget in accordance to gender, standard indicators to measure girls education results, and mechanism to accommodate emerging needs. The review underlines the importance of female teachers and incentives programs. In addition, it was also recommended to ensure girl friendliness of school environments and sustainability of girls education program.

Tracy Woodson enters his sixth season as the head coach at Valparaiso. The fourth-seeded Crusaders reached the title game of the 2011 Horizon League Tournament, falling by one run to top-seeded Wright State in the title game.
Woodson coached in professional baseball for eight years after playing for 13 seasons. Woodson was a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1987-89, contributing to a World Series title in 1988. He played for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1992 and 1993.
Woodson reflected on the Dodgers' postseason run in 1988 and looked ahead at the Crusaders for 2012.
First Inning – In your first big league season in 1987, the Dodgers finished in fourth place in the West. How much fun was the pennant race during the 1988 season?
Wow, it was quite a bit different because in '87 they brought up the full limit of 40 guys because they were tying to identify who was going to be with the organization, who they were going to give opportunities to. Then in '88, we were in the pennant race the whole time so it wasn't a tryout. Each game meant something toward the season. So it was quite a bit different.
Second Inning – The Mets won the East by 15 games. How thrilling was it to win the NL pennant in a tough seven-game series?
It was difficult. [Kirk] Gibson stood out in that series. He hit the big home run in extra innings to win one of the games and he had the play where he pulled his hamstring and hurt his knee, which led up to what happened in the World Series. It was tough, but once we got to Game 7 and [Orel] Hershiser pitching, we knew we had a very good chance of winning it.
Third Inning – Oakland was a heavy favorite in the World Series. Did you feel that the Dodgers were the underdogs against the A's?
I don't think we paid attention to that. When I look back, we were a heavy underdog to the Mets and the A's. Everybody thought the Mets and the A's were the two best teams with 100 or more wins and we had 90-some wins. Bob Costas made the comment that this might be the worst team ever put on the field for a World Series game because Gibson was hurt. If you go back and look, we weren't the strongest team. We had good pitching, but we weren't the best team by far. [Manager Tommy] Lasorda used that as leverage to our players, telling us "Listen to what this guy is saying. He doesn't believe it." That was Tommy's strength. He could motivate a team of six-year-olds if he had to.
Fourth Inning – You have shared before some of your thoughts on Kirk Gibson's famous two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to win the opening game. If you would, walk us through it again.
He didn't come out for introductions. I honestly thought about this, "How can you not come out for introductions?" I wasn't going to start, but my name was going to be announced and I was going to be in the introductions. He never showed up. NBC used it. They made a big deal that Gibson wasn't in introductions, he's not available. Tommy kept going back, starting about the sixth inning, "How do you feel, big guy?" He would always give him the thumbs down. I think I pinch-hit in the fifth inning and I was going in and out and he was continuously taking balls off the tee. You could hear the bat. They orchestrated it perfectly. Gibson said, "If you get somebody on, I'll give you my best at-bat." It was unreal. Dodger Stadium did not stop cheering for 15 or 20 minutes after the game. It was ridiculous.
Fifth Inning – Orel Hershiser shut out Oakland in Game 2 and went the distance in the finale in Game 5. How dominating was Hershiser in the 1988 postseason?
He broke [Don] Drysdale's record toward the end of the regular season, so it was the last two months of the season. It was ridiculous. It's not like he was 95 mph. He was 88 to 90 probably, but everything moved. He put everything where he wanted it. It was a clinic.
Sixth Inning – Tommy Lasorda was the manager of the '88 Dodgers. Did you learn anything from his that has helped you as a Division I head coach?
He would use anything. He was the rah-rah. He would get the people above our dugout, people at Dodger Stadium, by just raising his arm and steps out of the dugout at times. He would yell at the other team, "You're not intimidating me!" But they can't hear you when there are 50,000 or 60,000 people. But he used it all, it didn't matter. I always say I use his motivation and Joe Torre's calmness when I was managing pro ball. Those were my two managers in the big leagues, and what they both accomplished is unbelievable.
Seventh Inning – Each October, do you still think back to the 1988 postseason run by the Dodgers?
Absolutely. Every year it comes, I think about it. They just put up a stat [Sunday] night during the Cardinals and Brewers game, talking about the last time the Brewers were in the Series. It showed a list of the longest and the Dodgers were one of them, hadn't been to the World Series since '88. I always think that it would be nice if they never got back, that way we would always be remembered. Eventually I think it's got to happen with a team like the Dodgers.
Eighth Inning – Gibson and Mike Scioscia were your teammates in 1988. Did you think both had the ability to become managers in the major leagues?
I knew Scioscia did, being a catcher. He was very intelligent. I thought Hershiser may get into that area. They sat next to Tommy a lot and were hinting a lot of things. Gibson, I never saw him as being a manager. But it sounds like the players in Arizona love playing for him. If you're a player's manager and you do well, they're going to love you.
Ninth Inning – How did fall practice go for the Crusaders and how do you feel about the team heading into the 2012 season?
We're excited. We got to the finals last year for the first time in our conference in a number of years, the first time since I've been there. We started out 1-17. We went on a West Coast trip for two weeks and then came back here and lost 1-0 to Creighton. We played a great schedule early and it prepared us for later on. We finished 25-32 and lost in the championship game to Wright State 4-3. We brought in 17 new guys. We lost 15 from last year's team. But we have the nucleus of our lineup back. We've got to replace a couple of our starters. We've got our closer back who was Second Team All-America two years ago, back from Tommy John [surgery]. We like our situation.

Natty's Copycat Macaron Dress
Added Oct 23, 2010
by nattyjane
Berkeley, Califo...
This is my first completed dress from Colette Pattern's Macaron Dress. I have always admired this pattern and all of the variations I have seen of it, so I am excited to now have my own Macaron. If anyone out there is considering using this pattern, I would say go for it! The directions are well written and easy to follow, and the final product is beautiful.
My fabric selection was inspired by BurdaStyle member Sibeli's Love Love Ikat II, and by inspired I mean to say that I was a total copycat. Sibeli's dress has been in my favorites on BurdaStyle for quite some time.
My Macaron is made from cotton for the shell and the contrasting fabric is silk organza.
Now I just need to find an occasion to wear my new favorite dress!
Material Notes
cotton, silk organza, invisible side zip

where did you find this fabric? i've had a hard time finding ikat that isn't intended for home decorating.

I got the fabric from my local store in Berkeley, Stone Mountain Daughter. Other than that I can't be of much help because I don't remember who made it… sorry!
Dec 7, 2011, 12.32 AMby lexicooks
This is gorgeous! I wanted to use a sheer contrast fabric for my macaron too, but was unsure about what to do with the sleeves. Did you use the same silk organza for the sleeves? They look a little more opaque than the bodice panel in the pictures.
1 Reply
Dec 7, 2011, 08.27 PMby nattyjane
Thanks! I used the same silk for the sleeves. They look opaque because the pattern has you make the sleeves double layered for the nice scalloped detail. If you want to keep it sheer, you could probably just do one layer and finish the edge differently. Hope that helps!

This is so lovely and very flattering on you Natty!
Oct 30, 2010, 01.56 PMby marinaglory
This is so perfect!! and a great take on Sibeli's version! I'm about to start sewing my own Macaron- do you have any tips for sewing organza? (finishing the seams/hems?) I love the sheer and ikat combination.

Nov 5, 2010, 06.06 PMby nattyjane
Thanks! I found the organza pretty easy to work with, except for the fact that it's sheer. I didn't want any seam allowances to show through, so I would sew the seams as usual, press and topstitch them down, and then trim the excess. Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy sewing!

text: Cattle Feeding Margins Top $200 February 19, 2014 06:44 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Greg Henderson Drovers Editorial Director Email Higher cattle prices and lower feed costs have translated into tidy profits for cattle feeders. Last week on average, cattle shipped from feedyards earned $209.54 per head, according to John Nalivka, president of Sterling Marketing, Inc., Vale Ore. Nalivka tracks prices and feeding costs for both cattle and hogs in a weekly summary called the Sterling Profit Tracker. Feedyard margins received a boost from a $1.59 per cwt. increase in cash fed cattle prices last week to an average of $142.33. Lean hog prices gained $2.43 per cwt. to average $86.67. Cattle feeding margins increased more than $64 per head last week from a previous average profit of $145.47. The Sterling Profit Tracker also found an increase in farrow-to-finish hog margins, with average profits at $22.41 per head. The previous week's profits were pegged at $18.30. While livestock feeders are enjoying a profitable stretch in early 2014, packers have seen margins that are rather ugly, especially on the beef side. The Sterling Profit Tracker estimated packers lost an average of $83.20 on every steer and heifer slaughtered last week, which is more than $26 per head worse than the previous week's average losses of $56.86 per head. Pork packer margins were in the black last week at $8.23 per head. Feeding margins for both cattle and hogs are substantially better than the same week one year ago. Last year cattle feeders lost an average of $131.14 per head, which hog feeders lost an average of $17.70 per head. Back to news

When not starring in massive blockbusters like Gulliver's Travels and Year One, Jack Black is a huge Los Angeles Lakers fan. The Santa Monica native is regularly seen sitting courtside between his brosephs and DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. Yes, friends, Jack Black is a true Hollywood A-lister and soon enough he'll be regarded as a giant in Laker fan folklore, alongside Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Most recently, Black attended the Lakers' 109-100 loss to the New Orleans Hornets, but he didn't care so much about the loss, because, as I've already pointed out, David Stern will make sure the Lakers are in the picture. Always. So what's a hilarious bastard like Black gonna do in the meantime? According to the Daily Mail, he's gonna check out some hot cheerleader ass and make the people piss their pants with laughter, that's what he's gonna do.
Luckily, I'm a psychic mind reader and I was able to read Black's thoughts during the Lakers game on Sunday…
Jack's inner monologue: "Dude, I am hilarious. Everyone f*cking loves me, bro-bros. Kung Fu Panda? That was the sh*t. Be Kind Rewind? Balls deep. Nacho Libre? La mierda, cabron. Life is good, dude. Life. Is. Good. Whoa, look at that girl's ass. I bet I could, like, make a joke that is so funny that she would let me do her. I'll tell her I was in Airborne. And Enemy of the State. Will Smith knows who I am. He's like, 'Yo Jacky B!' and I'm like, Bang! Pow! Air guitar! F*ck yeah."
Friend: "Hey Jack, I'm gonna get nachos. Do you want some nachos?"
Jack: "THAT'S RIGHT, PAL! I WAS IN NACHO LIBRE! A MOVIE THAT I MADE MILLIONS FOR ACTING IN! PEOPLE THINK I'M HILARIOUS!"
Friend: "Why are you yelling, Jack?"
Jack: "I'm trying to nail this cheerleader, dude. Don't you ruin this for me like Kyle ruined Pick of Destiny."
Friend: "But everyone agrees that Kyle was the only funny thing about Pick of Destiny."
Jack: "I AM JACK-F*CKING-BLACK! I WAS IN KING KONG WITH ADRIEN BRODY! HE MADE OUT WITH HALLE BERRY AND EVERYONE LOVED IT! NOBODY IS FUNNIER THAN ME!"
Jack: "Hey Jeffrey Katzenberg, I'm going to chew this gum so that cheerleader will make out with me."
Jeff: "That's great, Jack. So I was thinking about your ideas for Kung Fu Panda 3 and I just don't think live action is the way to go."
Jack: "Come on, J-Bergy, I could totally be like, 'Ah so, me Chinese, me rikey bamboo and flied lice.' People would eat that sh*t up!"
Jeff: "That's completely racist, Jack."
Jack: "But I'm Jack Black! People think everything I do is funny. Watch this… HEY JAPAN, WHAT'S SHAKING?"
Jeff: "Jesus, Jack, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Jack: "BANG! POW! ZAZZ!" *cartwheels into Pau Gasol's knees, grabs Kobe Bryant's crotch, air humps chair*
Jack: "So while you were getting nachos, I totally nailed that cheerleader."
Friend: "Jack, you're married. You didn't nail that cheerleader."
Jack: "Nah bro, I did. My wife was all like, 'You're Jack Black, man. You should nail that cheerleader.'"
Friend: "No she didn't."
Jack: "SHABBA BABBA DABBA!" *air guitars into split, farts, waves it at Chris Paul*

- in Dressing: Mixa salad shaker or jar. Chill
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil optional
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- Toss:
- 1 package dried rice noodles 8 ounce
- Mixed spring greens or 1 small head romaine lettuce mixed with fresh spinach
- 4 boneless chicken breast halves cooked and shredded
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- Prepare Chinese rice noodles: heat a skillet with a tablespoon of oil and break off bits of noodles and add to skillet. As they heat, they will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time, remove, drain on paper towels, and repeat. Be sure to cook long enough! Under cooked noodles will be like eating needles.
- In a large bowl, toss greens, chicken, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
- Chill.
- Just before serving add the cooked rice noodles.
- Serve with dressing.
Terri's Notes
- Great with leftover barbecued, grilled, broiled, or baked chicken.
- A hand full of shredded carrot or mandarin oranges add color and flavor too.

Of the 30 major league teams, only six after at least 10 games behind in the wild-card standings. The Mets are only 3.5 games behind, a position which should have them as prime buyers.
The problem of shopping in the bullpen aisle, say the Mets, is the cost. That translates into not expecting too much. Huston Street and Jonathan Broxton, while manageable in salary, extract a big prospect price the Mets aren't willing to pay.
In weighing the present and future, the scales a tipping toward the latter, said assistant GM John Ricco: "We're watching every day the same thing people are. But you also can't fool yourself into thinking that there's one guy that is going to be the be-all and end-all solution to all of our problems. You can fall into that trap and make some big mistakes."
The problem for Sandy Alderson is his team isn't one of the six 10 games out, which is what the expectations of them were – probably even from Mets management. Alderson never thought he'd be a buyer.
Although their contracts are Jeremy Lin Ridiculous, Alderson was thinking maybe somebody would be desperate enough to take the Johan Santana and Jason Bay off his hands.
Despite their skid, the Mets are in it now. There's no guarantee in the future Alderson is trying to protect that they'll be close again anytime soon. That defines the pressure he is under.

RASRas subfamily of RAS small GTPases
|SMART accession number:
|Similar in fold and function to the bacterial EF-Tu GTPase. p21Ras couples receptor Tyr kinases and G protein receptors to protein kinase cascades
|Interpro abstract (IPR020849):
Small GTPases form an independent superfamily within the larger class of regulatory GTP hydrolases. This superfamily contains proteins that control a vast number of important processes and possess a common, structurally preserved GTP-binding domain [(PUBMED:2122258), (PUBMED:1898771)]. Sequence comparisons of small G proteins from various species have revealed that they are conserved in primary structures at the level of 30-55% similarity [(PUBMED:2029511)].
Crystallographic analysis of various small G proteins revealed the presence of a 20 kDa catalytic domain that is unique for the whole superfamily [(PUBMED:1898771), (PUBMED:2196171)]. The domain is built of five alpha helices (A1-A5), six beta-strands (B1-B6) and five polypeptide loops (G1-G5). A structural comparison of the GTP- and GDP-bound form, allows one to distinguish two functional loop regions: switch I and switch II that surround the gamma-phosphate group of the nucleotide. The G1 loop (also called the P-loop) that connects the B1 strand and the A1 helix is responsible for the binding of the phosphate groups. The G3 loop provides residues for Mg(2+) and phosphate binding and is located at the N terminus of the A2 helix. The G1 and G3 loops are sequentially similar to Walker A and Walker B boxes that are found in other nucleotide binding motifs. The G2 loop connects the A1 helix and the B2 strand and contains a conserved Thr residue responsible for Mg(2+) binding. The guanine base is recognised by the G4 and G5 loops. The consensus sequence NKXD of the G4 loop contains Lys and Asp residues directly interacting with the nucleotide. Part of the G5 loop located between B6 and A5 acts as a recognition site for the guanine base [(PUBMED:11995995)].
The small GTPase superfamily can be divided into at least 8 different families, including:
Ras proteins are small GTPases that regulate cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. The different Ras isoforms: H-ras, N-ras and K-ras, generate distinct signal outputs, despite interacting with a common set of activators and effectors. Ras is activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) that release GDP and allow GTP binding. Many RasGEFs have been identified. These are sequestered in the cytosol until activation by growth factors triggers recruitment to the plasma membrane or Golgi, where the GEF colocalizes with Ras. Active GTP-bound Ras interacts with several effector proteins: among the best characterised are the Raf kinases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), RalGEFs and NORE/MST1.
Ras proteins are synthesized as cytosolic precursors that undergo post-translational processing to be able to associate with cell membranes [(PUBMED:12728271)]. First, protein farnesyl transferase, a cytosolic enzyme, attaches a farnesyl group to the cysteine residue of the CAAX motif. Second, the farnesylated CAAX sequence targets Ras to the cytosolic surface of the ER where an endopeptidase removes the AAX tripeptide. Third, the alpha-carboxyl group on the now carboxy-terminal farnesylcysteine is methylated by isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase. Finally, after methylation, Ras proteins take one of two routes to the cell surface, which is dictated by a second targeting signal that is located immediately amino-terminal to the farnesylated cysteine. N-ras and H-ras are expressed stably on the plasma membrane, on Golgi in transfected cells, and at least transiently on the ER. Ras has also been visualized on endosomes.
|GO process:
|signal transduction (GO:0007165)
|GO component:
|membrane (GO:0016020)
|GO function:
|GTP binding (GO:0005525)

Rogue midwives
How does one answer such a charge?
My husband received an email yesterday from a friend who lives in an Asian country, and whose only contact with childbirth is that which is common to all who have been born. With reference to my blog of 26-Jul, , he wrote that: "I remember very well that Joy told us in 2002 in Melbourne that private midwives cannot easily use anymore the official health insurance channel.
"Now it is being outlawed. We deeply regret this process as midwifery is a nice and biblical profession. [See previous post]
"I especially came across the sentence:
"An outsider looking at the list could conclude that midwives are not all that important in maternity services."
"What is the situation of private midwifery in other countries, e.g. certain European countries?"
The message that those who want midwives to accept the outrageous new restrictions to autonomy in midwifery practice are giving us is that midwives in Netherlands, New Zealand, Canada, UK, Denmark, Switzerland ... are also being prevented from working without indemnity insurance, and that acceptable levels of indemnity insurance are not able to be purchased for private practice. Independent midwives in the UK face similar restrictions.
However, midwives in most of these countries are able, under government schemes, to access suitable indemnity insurance. The proposed actions of the Australian government in making independent midwifery practice unlawful is unprecedented across the developed world. It is good to see a politician, Jamie Briggs who is willing to speak out, 'defending the right of mums to have a safe home birth'.
I am aware that people from many countries are reading this blog. If there are other sites that I don't know about, please leave a comment, with the links.
On a lighter note, here's what the 'Village Midwife' does on Thursday mornings, births permitting. With a group of friends, I can hit the ball as hard as I please, occasionally hitting it well, and enjoying the fresh air and beautiful garden setting of a suburban home.

Rogue?! Good lord!
Would anyone ever label doctors with 75 percent cesarean rates or 90 percent induction rates as rogue doctors?
I'm so sorry for all that you and your cohorts are going through right now. There are a lot of us watching from a far and cringing.

To Nicola Roxon or one of her many advisers who I know is reading this blog,
Nicola, you refer to Joy Johnston and others like her (private midwives) as rogues. It is clear to me you have never had the privilege of meeting a REAL midwife.
For that, I feel sadness for you, as I know you have given birth and to have done so without the continuity of care from a dedicated private midwife is something no woman should have to do.
I respect your choice of a hospital birth, your body, your right but that is just it, hospital birth was YOUR CHOICE not MINE.
Women who have never experienced professional care from their own midwife, might believe that their experience was as good as it could have been. All I can say is you don't know what you have missed out on. I only hope in the future that every women has access to her own midwife, regardless of where she births, and that includes you.
The same goes for homebirth. Unless you have been invited to a homebirth or home birthed your own baby, it could be difficult to understand what all the fuss is about. The other way you could 'get it', would to be a person with an open and deep understanding of life, not to mention respect of individuals rights and freedoms. We are yet to see deep insight or understanding into other peoples choices and beliefs.
Nicola, the reason people are so upset at you even thinking of taking away access to professional midwifery care for birthing at home is that it is SO SPECIAL, SO LIFE CHANGING (to everyone present not just the mother), that we, the people of Australia will fight this until all of our mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts have the right to their own midwife regardless of where they birth and that midwives can work to their full scope of practice in the setting of their choice.
Every day you allow this saga to go on is one more day that we (mothers and midwives) have to tell more people about that terrible abuse of human rights that is planned in Australia. Remember, it is what us women do best, talk ....... today I directly spoke with six more people who didn't know what you had planned and they were SHOCKED! I am sure they are telling others and so it goes on ......
Is our government going to risk THIS being the issue they are remembered for?
I would suggest an apology to the midwives and mothers of Australia, we are not "rogues or insignificant', sort out this mess you have allowed to happen and let us all get on with the business of raising families, running our lives and of course birthing babies.
A woman you have described as an "insignificant minority" who can assure you will NEVER give up her right to birth with her OWN MIDWIVES at a location of her CHOICE.

Run, don't walk (or whatever the Internet equivalent is of dashing immediately) to George Will's column today about Charles Kesler's imminent book, I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism, which is officially published next week, but which you can pre-order right now (and I wouldn't be surprised if it's already on some bookstore tables, if you like the bricks and mortar experience). I've already got my advance copy and have read it already, as you can see here.
As it happens, I'm in Washington today to videotape an interview with Charles this evening at the Newseum (in front of a live audience!), to be aired later on the Claremont Institute's forthcoming video series "The American Mind." (You can see an early pilot of this project, with Charles in conversation with John Yoo, right here.)
Charles is, like his mentor William F. Buckley, a jaunty fellow given to fits of optimism. As such, he ends his introduction with this dashing thought:
Obama's fate is tied to liberalism's, and vice versa. It was precisely a hundred years ago that Woodrow Wilson launched modern liberalism in all its hubris. That year, 1912,was also a year ahead of the Titanic. Does anyone see an iceberg ahead?
Charles's book differs from all of the other critical books about Obama, in that it eschews conspiracy theorizing in favor of political theorizing—that is, placing Obama and his thoughts and actions within a long context of the development of 20th century liberalism (not that Obama's dodgy relations with Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, and Frank Marshall Davis are unimportant or unrevealing). In this respect, it follows Occam's Razor: it is not necessary to divine an explicitly anti-colonial motivation of Obama to understand him; after all, even his anti-colonial views differ not at all from any other faculty room liberal weaned on Howard Zinn or Noam Chomsky. "Conservatives, of all people," Kesler reminds us, "should know to beware instant gratification, especially when it comes wrapped in a conspiracy theory." Instead, we see how Obama fits the long development and step-increases of liberal ideology from the Progressive Era onward.
Anyway, after a typically able summary of the main argument of the book in today's column, George Will concludes:
In 2012, Americans want from government not such flights of fancy but sobriety; not ecstatic evocations of dreamlike tomorrows but a tolerably functioning today; not fantasies about a world without scarcities and therefore without choices among our desires and appetites but a mature understanding of the limits to government's proper scope and actual competence. Tonight's speech is Obama's last chance to take a first step toward accommodation with a country increasingly concerned about his unmasked determination to "transform" what the Founders considered "fundamentals."

Hard to beleive but the old Dive of the Game thread is still getting hits! This one is for the Toronto game sunday night. Blackout bloody blackout.
Tucker had a couple of grand dives but the ref did'nt bite and he ingored the lame-ass dive penalty and rightly so. Kilger exaggerated Scuds trip but it was going to be called a trip anyways. I would have liked to have seen the so-called dive rule called there but naturally they did'nt because Toronto is trying to make the playoffs. We can't have that. Why oh why won't they just get rid of that rule because it so lame that the refs are too embarrassed to call it because it could be called 6 times a game! Bettman is a disgrace.
Anyways this games Floppa Award has to go to Koltsov. This may be his 30th succussful dive of the season and it was typical Koltsov. Late in the 1st period the puck was being moved out but the edgy Koltsov was in front of the net and looking to skate out past McCabe. McCabe was entitled to the ice he was standing in and he had every right to stick a mit out there in Kolts face. Koltsov, being a quiet hard working sort, lost his edge and flailed to the ice. He got his team a power play out of nothing.
Great work Koltsov!!

Law School Admissions / Re: Article About Boalt E-Mail Mistake« on: February 23, 2006, 03:24:05 PM »
This presumes that they know some people are rejected, and we don't know that that's the case, even if Edward Tom gave numbers over the phone and someone has calculated that there are more apps than that number. The point is: no-one knows what goes on in admissions offices. There may be several 'perhaps' files to varying degrees. Whatever, the point is that it's futile getting stressed about it. This is the way it's done, and in applying we all consented to that. Sometimes we can't all know in time and have to make choices without knowing all our options - like you and your financial aid for example, or me and some applications to programs (non-law) that I made in England. Life is like that unfortunately, and it will happen with jobs and houses we wangt to buy etc. Again, I hate to sound harsh because I am sympathetic, having gone through the same stress, but I have to say I think you could all handle it better by accepting a system that works for Boalt and that you cannot change. The more you complain about it the more you get riled up. I was lucky to be in uhndergrad when I applied. I just concentrated on what I was doing then and there and one day anm email was in my inbox without my even expecting it. Email or letter, you will hear - and soon.

Dunleavy's performance worthy of consideration
By Marcus Thompson II
OAKLAND - Warriors forward Mike Dunleavy drew cheers nearly every time he touched the ball in the Warriors' 108-88 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers at the Arena on Friday.
He had put up the kind of numbers many fans think he can/should produce every night: a team-high 20 points on 8-for-13 shooting, a season-high tying eight assists and seven rebounds in 38 minutes. But one of Dunleavy's best all-around performances of the season, which helped snap the Warriors' three-game losing streak, highlights one of the team's most critical quandaries of the coming offseason.
Is Dunleavy showcasing what's coming next season or making it easier for Warriors executive vice president of basketball operations Chris Mullin to trade him this summer?
"I'm just trying to finish the season out," said Dunleavy, who was 4-for-7 from 3-point range as the teams set an NBA record with 69 attempts from behind the arc. "It's a big summer for our team and myself and for the NBA with a possible lockout."
Dunleavy, who will become a restricted free agent at the end of next season if he does not sign a contract extension in the offseason, has been a productive player in the Warriors' late-season resurgence. But he also is the team's most viable and sensible trading commodity.
Mullin could use Dunleavy to get the Warriors (32-48) the low-post scoring option coach Mike Montgomery says the team lacks -- whether it's a veteran big man such as New Orleans Hornets center Jamaal Magloire or a college project such as University of Utah post Andrew Bogut. Or Mullin could keep Dunleavy as part of the nucleus with point guard Baron Davis, who had 19 points and 11 assists Friday, shooting guard Jason Richardson and power forward Troy Murphy.
Dunleavy sure looked like a keeper Friday in the Warriors' rout of Portland (25-54), which was led by point guard Damon Stoudamire's 18 points (on an NBA-record 21 3-point attempts), 12 rebounds and 11 assists -- his second triple double against the Warriors this season.
"I think he's held up his part of the bargain as far as coming out and being a guy we can depend on night in and night out," guard Derek Fisher said of Dunleavy. "We have a couple guys that have long-term commitments financially already and depending on what Mike's value is on the market, it may be tough to keep him around."
If there's a luxury tax in the new collective bargaining agreement, Dunleavy may be too much for the Warriors' pockets now that they have Davis' huge contract on the books. Dunleavy could command between $50 million and $60 million, maybe more, though his ballooned salary wouldn't kick in until the 2006-07 season. But the continued growth of sophomore guard Mickael Pietrus and the surprising production from forward Zarko Cabarkapa have made Dunleavy appear to be expendable.
The thinking is that Pietrus can step in as the starting small forward. Cabarkapa, who had 14 points and seven rebounds in 15 minutes, and swingman Calbert Cheaney, who has a player option for next season that he is likely to exercise, can back up the small forward position.
But the Warriors have thrived, especially on offense, with Dunleavy on the court. They scored triple digits for the 24th time in their last 32 contests. During that span, Dunleavy is averaging 15.2 points and 6.1 rebounds. The uptempo offense began when the Warriors moved Dunleavy to power forward in early February.
But is it reason to keep him or motive to ship him now? As Fisher said: "It's going to be interesting to see."
• NEXT GAME: Monday, vs. Lakers, 7:30 p.m.
Pawno's thoughts: Good to see Fisher is lobbying for a starters role. Talking about Dunleavy could be expendable this offseason. If like the article suggest we can lure Andrew Bogut at Dunleavy's expense i say we take it. But firstly we should let Mullin see how much Mike D is worth and hopefully if the contract can be worked out ( we keep him ) cause 20pts 7 assists and 8 rebounds is the kind of performance you want from a SF especially if his doing it against Defensive Stoppers Rubin Patterson

PolitiFact's "Lie Of The Year" Is One Of Fox's Favorite Health Care Lies
Research ››› ››› ERIC SCHROECK, SHAUNA THEEL & MELODY JOHNSON
PolitiFact recently named "a government takeover of health care" as its 2010 "Lie of the Year" -- a lie that Fox News hosts and contributors have repeatedly promoted.
PolitiFact: "Government Takeover Of Health Care" Is The "Lie Of The Year"
PolitiFact: "Government Takeover Of Health Care" Is The "Lie Of The Year." In its article declaring "a government takeover of health care" the Lie of the Year, PolitiFact wrote:
"Government takeover" conjures a European approach where the government owns the hospitals and the doctors are public employees. But the law Congress passed, parts of which have already gone into effect, relies largely on the free market:
· Employers will continue to provide health insurance to the majority of Americans through private insurance companies.
· Contrary to the claim, more people will get private health coverage. The law sets up "exchanges" where private insurers will compete to provide coverage to people who don't have it.
· The government will not seize control of hospitals or nationalize doctors.
· The law does not include the public option, a government-run insurance plan that would have competed with private insurers.
· The law gives tax credits to people who have difficulty affording insurance, so they can buy their coverage from private providers on the exchange. But here too, the approach relies on a free market with regulations, not socialized medicine.
PolitiFact reporters have studied the 906-page bill and interviewed independent health care experts. We have concluded it is inaccurate to call the plan a government takeover because it relies largely on the existing system of health coverage provided by employers.
It's true that the law does significantly increase government regulation of health insurers. But it is, at its heart, a system that relies on private companies and the free market.
Republicans who maintain the Democratic plan is a government takeover say that characterization is justified because the plan increases federal regulation and will require Americans to buy health insurance.
But while those provisions are real, the majority of Americans will continue to get coverage from private insurers. And it will bring new business for the insurance industry: People who don"t currently have coverage will get it, for the most part, from private insurance companies. [PolitiFact, 12/16/10]
Fox News' Sammon Directed Fox Reporters To Use "Government Option" Instead Of Public Option
Fox News Boss Ordered Reporters To Use Term "Government Option." As Media Matters reported, at the height of the health care reform debate last fall, Bill Sammon, Fox News' Washington managing editor, sent a memo directing his network's journalists not to use the phrase "public option." Instead, Sammon wrote, Fox's reporters should use "government option" and similar phrases -- wording that a top Republican pollster Frank Luntz had recommended in order to turn public opinion against Democrats' reform efforts. Two months prior to Sammon's 2009 memo, Luntz appeared on Sean Hannity's August 18 Fox News program. Luntz scolded Hannity for referring to the "public option" and encouraged Hannity to use "government option" instead. [Media Matters, 12/9/10]
Fox News Has Repeatedly Promoted The "Government Takeover" Lie
Cameron Uncritically Advances The "Government Takeover" Lie. On the August 12, 2009, edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, correspondent Carl Cameron reported that protesters at a health care town hall forum held by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) were "angry that Grassley is participating in the negotiations with Democrats out of fear that he might give away the store and let what critics say is a liberal big government takeover of health care advance unabated." [Fox News' America's Newsroom, 8/12/09]
O'Reilly: "If The Government Takes Over Health Care ... More People Will Be Harmed." On the August 19, 2009, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly stated during a discussion of health care reform: "If the government takes over health care ... and begins to tell people when they can live and when they can die and the country goes bankrupt in the process ... more people will be harmed, including poor people." [Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, 8/19/09]
Fox & Friends: Public Option Is A "Government Takeover"; "Should Technically Be" "Government-Run Health Care." On the October 27, 2009, edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Gretchen Carlson said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "wants to kick in ... a new name for the public option, which is really government-run health care. That's what the name should technically be." Co-host Steve Doocy added, "Government takeover." [Fox News' Fox & Friends, 10/27/09]
Carlson: "Shouldn't What We Really Call [The Public Option] Is A Government Takeover Of Health Care?" On October 28, 2009, Fox & Friends hosted Frank Luntz to criticize Pelosi's "rebranding" of the public option as the "consumer option." During the discussion, Carlson asked Luntz: "Now we have Nancy Pelosi not wanting to call it the public option. Shouldn't what we really call it is a government takeover of health care? Is that why she now wants to call it the consumer option, to kind of shield that?" [Fox & Friends, 10/28/09]
Van Susteren: "If You Think We Should Have More Government-Run Health Care, Listen To This." On the February 3 edition of Fox News' On the Record, host Greta Van Susteren stated, "If you think we should have more government-run health care, listen to this." Van Susteren then explained that a Canadian official was seeking medical treatment in the United States and asked: "[I]f this guy is leaving Canada for treatment, should we really change our system to be more like Canada's?" [Fox News' On the Record, 2/3/10]
Morris Calls Health Care Reform "The Government Takeover Of The 16 Percent Of Our Economy That's Health Care." On the February 4 edition of Fox & Friends, Fox News contributor Dick Morris called health care reform legislation "the government takeover of the 16 percent of our economy that's health care." [Fox & Friends, 2/4/10]
Beck Calls Health Care Reform The "Government Takeover Of The Health Care System." On the March 15 edition of his Fox News show, Glenn Beck called health care reform the "government takeover of the health care system." [Fox News' Glenn Beck, 3/15/10, accessed via Nexis]
Hannity: "[D]octors have been railing about what a government takeover of health care could mean for families." On the March 16 edition of his show, Sean Hannity hosted a doctor opposed to health care reform and stated that "doctors have been railing about what a government takeover of health care could mean for families across the country." [Fox News' Hannity, 3/16/10, accessed via Nexis]
Palin: "This Is Government Takeover." On the March 17 edition of Hannity, Fox News contributor Sarah Palin stated: "[Y]ou know, we've spoken a lot, Sean, about what real health care reform, with a lot of broad based support, could look like for America. It could be patient centered. It could be free market oriented and it could actually have some results. This isn't reform. This is government takeover. This is about control." [Hannity, 3/17/10, accessed via Nexis]
Palin: Health Care Reform Is A "Government Takeover Of 1/6 Of Our Economy." On the March 22 edition of Hannity, Palin stated during a discussion of health care reform: "Now thankfully, we have Michele Bachmann and we have others already out there on the road who are proposing ways to undo, to repeal this government takeover of 1/6 of our economy." [Hannity, 3/22/10, accessed via Nexis]
O'Reilly Suggests Health Care Reform Is A "Government Takeover." On the March 22 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly said to guest Gov. Ed Rendell: "There are good things in the bill, and I think fair-minded Americans across the board would say the pre-existing conditions, the tossing people off the rolls when they get sick -- all of that has to be controlled, but it could be controlled without a government takeover." [Fox News' O'Reilly Factor, 3/22/10]
Beck Declares Health Care Reform To Be "Total Government Control Of Our Health Care System." On the April 6 edition of his show, Beck stated that President Obama "has taken the first step towards socialization. Total government control of our health care system." [Glenn Beck, 4/6/10]
FBN Reporter Byrnes: We're Moving Into An "All-Over Take-Over Of Health Care," And People Need To "Prepare For It." On the April 24 edition of Fox News' Cashin' In, Fox Business reporter Tracy Byrnes stated during a discussion of health care reform: "We are moving into pretty much an all-over takeover of health care, and people just need to sit back and prepare for it." [Fox News' Cashin' In, 4/24/10]
Crowley Calls Health Care Reform A "Government Takeover." On the October 19 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News contributor Monica Crowley stated: "You have had over the last two years government takeovers of the auto industry, the banks, health care, student loans, and an attempt to take over of the energy sector." [The O'Reilly Factor, 10/19/10, accessed via Nexis]
Luntz: "Buck ... Had One Of The Best Ads Of The Election Cycle When He Said That Washington Didn't Listen When They Took A Government Takeover Of Health Care." On Fox News' November 3 election coverage, Luntz stated that "Ken Buck from Colorado had one of the best ads of the election cycle when he said that Washington didn't listen when they took a government takeover of health care." [Fox News election coverage, 11/3/10, accessed via Nexis]
Napolitano: Bachmann Is "Fighting Democrats On The Constitutionality Of A National Takeover Of Health Care." Guest-hosting the November 4 edition of Glenn Beck, Fox News analyst Andrew Napolitano hosted Rep. Michele Bachmann and said that Bachmann is "fighting Democrats on the constitutionality of a national takeover of health care, and she wants your help in the fight." [Glenn Beck, 11/4/10]
Fox News Contributor Luntz Coined The Lie Of The Year
PolitiFact: Luntz "Urged GOP Leaders To Call It A 'Government Takeover.'" From PolitiFact's Lie of the Year post:
In the spring of 2009, a Republican strategist settled on a brilliant and powerful attack line for President Barack Obama's ambitious plan to overhaul America's health insurance system. Frank Luntz, a consultant famous for his phraseology, urged GOP leaders to call it a "government takeover."
"Takeovers are like coups," Luntz wrote in a 28-page memo. "They both lead to dictators and a loss of freedom."
The line stuck. By the time the health care bill was headed toward passage in early 2010, Obama and congressional Democrats had sanded down their program, dropping the "public option" concept that was derided as too much government intrusion. The law passed in March, with new regulations, but no government-run plan.
But as Republicans smelled serious opportunity in the midterm elections, they didn't let facts get in the way of a great punchline. [PolitiFact, 12/16/10]

text: Cotton To Give Way to Corn as Drought Improves December 25, 2012 10:38 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email As 2012 winds down, analysts are busily trying to figure out how the 2013 acreage shifts will play out, but some say that even with a decline in corn acreage, stocks will likely build if yields return to normal. "Even with a small decline in corn acreage, we could be building stocks significantly in the United States," says Bill Lapp, analyst with Advanced Economic Solutions in Omaha. "Supporting a December futures price of $6.24 would be problematic if stocks build significantly." Some think corn acreage will drop sharply this year in some states adjacent to prime corn-growing states. Without another dry planting season, growers in the Dakotas will not be able to plant nearly as many acres to corn as they did last spring, says Chad Hart, agricultural economist with Iowa State University. "That was one of the benefits of the drought. It was dry through planting, and Dakota producers were able plant acres they hadn't been able to plant in years," says Hart. "If we get the acreage next year, that means we clearly didn't get the moisture this winter." Hart estimates that 4.5 million acres out of the 10.8 million acres of row crops planted last year were planted to corn and most of that corn was planted in North and South Dakota. If weather reverts to a typical planting season and snowfall helps replenish soils this winter and spring, producers in North and South Dakota won't be able to plant anywhere near as much corn. New estimates Informa has already increased its acreage forecast for 2013. The forecasting firm's most recent estimates call for 99.026 million acres of corn, up from its previous estimate of 97.7 million acres. Informa, however, decreased its estimate for soybean plantings from 80.1 million acres to 78.962 million acres. Informa's estimate for 2013 wheat plantings was down slightly from 42.5 million acres to 42.2 million, and cotton acres were increased substantially from 10 million to 12.12 million. "Drought has improved over 2011, which was the worst all-time drought in Texas history," says John Robinson, agricultural economist at Texas A&M University. Row crop planting is set to begin in late January in South Texas where it's been very dry. Without moisture, cotton will be the dominant drop, says Robinson, but if it significant rains develop, growers will plant grain sorghum. "If it doesn't rain or if growers expect a dry season, they'll plant more cotton than they would have had it rained," he says. That pretty much holds true for all of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Robinson expects Texas producers to plant 4.9 million to 5 million acres of cotton, well below 2012's 6.6 million. In the United States, he expects producers to cut cotton acres to 9 million, which would be a sharp decline from last year's 12.36 million acres. "The biggest percentage decline will be in the Mid-South and the Delta because corn and soybeans are more attractive and feasible for those producers," he adds.

An Australian soldier has been seriously hurt in a collision between a Bushmaster armoured vehicle and a civilian vehicle in southern Afghanistan.
The incident happened on Wednesday in Oruzgan province as the soldier took part in a vehicle-mounted mission conducted by Afghan National Security Forces and the Special Operations Task Group.
Chief of Joint Operations Lieutenant General Ash Power said on Thursday the unnamed soldier was in a stable condition.
He was treated at the accident scene and flown by helicopter to the base at Tarin Kowt.
He was subsequently transferred to a Kandahar medical facility and will now be flown to Germany for further treatment as soon as possible.
"He has been in contact with his family and we will continue to provide them support. Specific details of his injuries will not be released for privacy reasons," Lt Gen Power said in a statement.
The cause of the accident, which was not the result of insurgent activity, is being investigated.
The mission was to reinforce the security of Afghan National Police checkpoints along a major route in northern Kandahar province.

Dr. Johan Hendrik Weidner
Born: October 22, 1912
Brussels, Belgium
Johan was the eldest of four children born to Dutch parents. His father was a minister in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. Johan grew up in Collonges, France, where his father served as a pastor. After attending French public schools, Johan graduated from the Seventh-Day Adventist Seminary in Collonges, and went on to study law and business at the universities of Geneva and Paris.
1933-39: After completing my studies in 1935, I opened an import/export textile business in Paris. Business prospered and three years later I also opened a shop in Collonges. The town was near the Swiss border, and I liked to go mountain climbing. Around this time I went to Geneva to attend sessions of the League of Nations, and I saw firsthand how ineffective that body was in preventing the outbreak of war in 1939.
1940-44: Germany invaded France in May 1940. I moved to Lyon to help organize the "Dutch-Paris" underground network to help Dutch Jews and political refugees to escape to Switzerland and Spain. In February 1943 I was arrested. During my interrogation by the Gestapo, a guard repeatedly held my head in water until I almost drowned. Then I was forced to kneel on the edges of steel rulers. I was released, but was later caught in a roundup of men to be sent to Germany as slave laborers. I jumped off the train and hiked to Switzerland.
Johan fought in the Dutch army during the final months of the war. After the war, he served in the Dutch diplomatic service. In 1955 he immigrated to the United States.

TALES from the DELTA
I've held off kiting in the Delta because I knew I would be addicted instantly and jonesing for it like my last candy bar in the middle of a camping trip. I purposely held off the treat so that I could savor it when the conditions were just to my liking.
As I was driving up to the Delta Friday midday, I was full of apprehension and uncertainty. I didn't know if I could handle the wind, if I had the right equipment or what. I did know what the launch looked like, though and that helped. I got intermittent medium wind signs while looking out the window on the drive up with my windows rolled up and the air conditioner on. I had the three dollars for the bridge that afternoon and I had the four dollars to get into the campground; boy do I hate paying money to go kiting but I definetely got my seven dollars out of the wind that day and more. I did the dance at the shack, payed my money, wrote down my license plate and pulled down to lower Sherman Island . I selected a parking spot out-of-the-way and took a walk down the path to the waters edge where the kiters were. I wanted to get a look-see of the wind, to feel it, check out what the other kiters were doing, and ask questions about emergency landing spots which went over like a fart in church.
Well, as I looked at the wind it was in transition between really good 10m or so-so 8m, too many really good kiters were rigging eights. I dug in for a while helping launch and land and getting a feel for the procedures at this site.
After a while the hot guys came and went on their eights and it seemed 10 was the call, so I rigged a 9.6. After launching without incident and making my way to the water, I first placed my board by the water's edge so I would not have to deal with it climbing out of the launch. I walked out as far as I could into the water and upwind to have a good run at getting out on the first shot. I've never been able to windsurf in between the islands that run up to the West, so I wanted to get in there, but with kiting, oh my goodness what a joy, it's so easy to go between the islands and soo much fun
I watched a guy that used to have dreadlocks boost over the toolies and that looked like so much fun. I had to give it go. I spent Friday afternoon boosting over the toolies having a ball. I ended this session after three hours with a face plant and kite crash but it was all good - the toolies tickled.
I was back the next day, it was a whole new day. The river was crowded and I rigged my 9.6 and went right back out there. Boy we had problems at the launch area with crowding, but I set my kite up and got out there anyway. The second island up was crowded and the hotshots were out there ripping from water to land carving up a little hill right by the water's edge. Some would boost off the top of the back to the water.
Oh, my god, I thought, I have got to get in on that. I did get in the lineup, got right up to it, but never hit it. There were boats in there with people, and women laying around setting and drinking and listening to music, watching the guys hit the dirt hill and boosting the toolies, it looked like a lot of fun, hell it was a lot of fun. I had a hard time believing I was bust n to starboard, that's not my usual side but that's where the girls were! Boosting the toolies . I had a ball!
So it's a week later, I got a new L.M.G. board that I am dying to try. I got there at about one o'clock, rig my 12 nitro and make my way out of the pit. I gotta go way up wind and out to have time to put my feet in the straps, they're new don't you know? Things are a little tight, but the board was a blast. It did everything I asked and more. The more push the higher up wind it went, talk about Mad Pop. This board banged big.
I love that board does what ever you tell it, and more.
I couldn't get near the toolies today, it was crowded with hotshots again, doing board offs and spins. But I love that board, I love the delta, the long drive, the warm temperature, the people, the water conditions, and the variety of the Delta. I hope when I go to Berkeley the guys yell at me to go back to the Delta, instead of the other way around!

Simply Guava Blythe
by Takara
Warm and dry summer days, sweat-inducing as they are, make the perfect weather for outdoor doll photo snaps. My first and favorite Blythe doll, Bebe, (sssshhh, don't tell the other Blythes) had been requesting for a quick shoot on my front yard with my spanking new camera. Had to oblige.
This is the first time I'd managed to make her look like she's standing on her own with the help of a pen. I read that somewhere and had always wanted to try it but always forgot. It actually worked! I basically stuck a pen in the ground and used it as a post for her to slightly lean on so she looks like she's walking unsupported. I guess I'll be carrying a pen or stick of some sort every time I'm outdoors with a doll from now on. You never know when it might come in handy!
Happy Monday!

I just found the cutest Neverland-Inspired Pirate Party on Hostess with the Mostess. What caught my eye about this party were these super cute pirate ship cupcakes.
When I designed the Mast Style Party Flags for my new Pirate Party DIY Printable Party last month, there were two ways I envisioned using the mast style flags. I really wanted to use them as masts for a fleet of paper boats, like this one:
And as cupcake flags to turn a tray of cupcakes into a fleet of pirate ships! I am totally wishing my nephews were young enough to still want a pirate party.
Are you planning a pirate party? Want to create a fleet of pirate ships using paper boats or cupcakes? Grab my set of Pirate Party Flags in my Etsy shop for quick and easy pirate ship building!

Fox News - We don't think this what Bill Gates had in mind when he offered $100,000 to someone to invent the next generation condom.
Just when you though the bacon fad was fizzling out, J&D's Foods --the same Seattle-based company that brought us the bacon coffin and bacon mayonnaise (all real products) -- now has introduced Bacon Condoms that claims to "make your meat look like meat."
As an added bonus, each condom is coated with its very own J&D's baconlube.
From it press release: "Truly the new standard of animal protein themed prophylactics Bacon Condoms are proudly Made in America of the highest quality latex and rigorously tested to help ensure the utmost reliability and safety for when you're makin' Bacon."
And just when you hoped America's bacon fad was dying out, the company is also releasing Bacon Sunscreen.
Why? According to the release, "science has shown us that 10 out of 10 people prefer the smell of Bacon to coconut, which makes this the most anticipated new product of the summer."
Please, put a fork in it.

August 7, 2012
Tibetan Buddhist monks are creating sand art known as a mandala at Hood River County Library this week. The community is invited to see the painstaking work up close. The monks, from south India's Drepung Loseling Phukhang ...Monastery, are on a tour titled "Sacred Tibetan Art – The Sand Mandala: Creating a Picture of Universal Compassion." According to Tibetan Buddhist belief, the creation of a mandala is meant to create a profound experience of compassion. The positive effects of a sand mandala are believed to radiate out over an entire region, blessing the environment and the beings therein, as an effort for world peace. Once created, the mandala is destroyed in the closing ceremony, as a lesson in the impermanence of all life. The closing ceremony on Aug. 11, 4 p.m., is open to the community and will include a procession to the Columbia River, weather permitting. .

Walton, a former standout at Mississippi State and a member of the 1996 Final Four team, is entering his 14th season as an assistant for Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson. Walton worked with Sanderson for two seasons at Mobile before making the move to Lipscomb where Sanderson is starting his 12th season.
"Jay touches every part of our program from recruiting to coaching to scheduling to monitoring players academically," Sanderson said. "I can go on-and-on about what he does.
"He is a very well-liked person. He has a very good disposition about him."
Sanderson heard about Walton through his father, Wimp Sanderson, who was coaching at Alabama at the time. Richard Williams was the coach at Mississippi State and he and Wimp were close friends.
"They knew I was trying to hire an assistant coach," Sanderson said. "That happened to be Jay.
"Jay has been a vital part of what we have been doing here. But more than anything he is a good person, a good father and a good husband."
Sanderson doesn't think that many of the players know of Walton's college basketball history.
"The players respect Jay for who he is and the man that he is and what he stands for," Sanderson said.
Sanderson knows Walton wants to be a head coach and he knows he is ready, but he isn't looking forward to the day when the two part ways professionally.
"I want him to be a head coach, and I know he is ready to be one, but it is going to be a sad day for me when he does decide to leave," Sanderson said. "We have had a very good relationship for a long time. More than anything else I trust him."
Senters has been working with Sanderson for 11 seasons. He is a former player at Lipscomb.
"Shaun understands the school and the impact it had on his life," Sanderson said, "He understood the school more than I did when I first got here.
"He does a very good job recruiting. He knows a lot of people. The players enjoy being around him. He does a lot with our individual workouts."
Sanderson pointed out that Senters is also high on the list of the people he trusts.
"It is good to know that I can go out of town and recruit or whatever I need to do because Shaun is here doing what needs to be done with our players," Sanderson said. "Sometimes Shaun is a friend to the players off of the floor."
Pete Froedden is also an assistant coach for the Bisons. Sanderson stresses that assembling a coaching staff is very similar to putting together a team. It is necessary to have different personalities with different approaches to problem solving.
"Each member of the staff has his own strengths," Sanderson said. "To have a guy for 14 years and another for 11 years is very uncommon at this level. They don't work for me. They work with me. I don't micromanage them, but I hold them responsible for doing what they have to do. We all speak the same language.
"On the floor Jay and Shaun are very similar where Pete and I get after the players more. We are more demanding when the players are on the floor than Jay or Shaun, but you can't have four guys like that. The players know when the coaches are on the same page. They see the camaraderie that we have."
