- Research question Can a web-based nutritional educational intervention improve phosphorus knowledge and control of phosphorus intake?
Experimental design
Following enrollment and informed consent, subjects will be randomized to one of two arms (group1: usual care; group 2: usual care plus Internet-based nutrition module). All subjects will undergo baseline data collection, consisting of:
- Short form of the test of functional health literacy in adults: categorizes individuals as having adequate, marginal or inadequate health literacy.
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Knowledge Assessment Tool: addresses nutritional knowledge of CKD.
- SF-12 Health Survey version 2: a 12-item measure of health related quality of life.
- Kidney Disease Self-Management Survey: a 58-item Likert scale based on theories important for self-management in chronic disease.
- 3-Day Dietary Diaries
- Lab work:
i. Serum phosphorus, calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. ii. Circulating endothelial cells, a novel marker for vascular damage.
Following baseline data collection, group 1 will continue with their scheduled clinic visit, while group 2 will spend approximately 30 minutes completing a web-based nutrition module. After completion of the module, patients will proceed with their scheduled clinic visit.
All subjects will then be asked to return in 30-60 days to repeat some of the survey information and blood work
- Major risks to subjects There is the potential for some mild discomfort from the necessary blood draws, which occur twice per subjects.
- Potential benefits to subjects Subjects randomized to the web-based module may receive an educational benefit from it.
- Consent procedures Only individuals who can provide their own consent can participate. Upon agreeing to enroll, a study coordinator or investigator will provide the subject with a copy of the consent form, and will remain available to answer any questions.

Cuppow: Canning Jar Into a Travel Mug
At first glance, I thought, 'Oh, come on, a canning jar travel mug?' but after reading the product description, my 'Oh, come on!' turned into 'Yeah, right on!' Here's why:
We're all trying to cut down on our consumption of wasteful products like disposable cups, and how often do we hear that the materials used to make portable mugs and water bottles are toxic? Enter the Cuppow.
• As noted on the Cuppow website, Ball jars or mason jars make great eco-friendly drinking glasses since they are made of heat resistant glass, easy to clean, and won't leak when properly sealed.
• The Cuppow lid is BPA free and 100% recyclable.
• Both the lid and canning jars are dishwashwer safe, so you don't have to worry about what bacteria may lurk in the dark corners of your travel mug.
• Very reasonably priced (US $7.99).
• A chance to officially make the leap and become "the quirky co-worker." That's right, just show up to your next big meeting toting a mason jar of herbal tea topped off with this bad boy.
• The only real con I can think of has nothing to do with the lid, but with the use of a mason jar and the fact that it's glass. This could limit usability. I think this idea would be great for use at the office or around the house, garden, or in the car, but I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying this on a crowded train. I also wouldn't feel comfortable using this as a sports bottle, but the idea makes me laugh.
• Comfort level holding hot drinks, which I suppose would depend on how hot you take your drinks. Another solution to this issue could be using a mason jar with a handle, which are widely available.

Fred McCrate was getting dressed for the biggest basketball game of his life.
The 6-foot-3 senior forward was a member of the 1963 Britton Tories starting lineup as they prepared to play Brethren Norman-Dickson in the Class D semifinals at Jenison Fieldhouse in East Lansing.
McCrate, in the dressing room, approached Britton coach Sam Hamilton.
"I forgot my shoes, Coach," McCrate told him.
Britton was 21-0 and had advanced to the state semifinals for the first time. A couple of nights earlier, McCrate had been a hero for the Tories, scoring four field goals in the final period and the winning basket in overtime when Britton recovered from a 12-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Camden-Frontier in the quarterfinals.
And with the clock ticking down to game time, his shoes were back home in Britton.
"Coach Hamilton had pulled off the road in Tecumseh and asked everyone if we had all of our equipment," McCrate said. "I didn't pay much attention. When we got into the locker room for a little pre-game practice, I realized I didn't have them."
When no sneakers could be found in the fieldhouse, assistant coach John Korican was sent to a nearby sporting goods store to buy the size 12 white, Converse All-Stars for McCrate.
He returned with them just in time, and McCrate was able to finish getting dressed.
"It was close," McCrate said. "I was putting them on as we were starting to take the court."
With McCrate scoring two field goals in the game, Britton beat Brethren 67-51 and advanced to the state finals. The next morning, Britton beat Negaunee St. Paul, 59-58, and became the first Lenawee County boys basketball team to win a state title. McCrate hit the go-ahead basket in that game.
The following season, in 1964, Britton did it again. To this day, the Tories' back-to-back state championships remain the only two boys basketball state titles in county history.
"The whole community was behind us," said Phil Benedict, the top scorer and All-State player for both teams. "It was as much of a community event as it was a basketball game for Britton. We got the glory, but everyone was a part of it. Britton's a tiny town. This was a big deal. I guess you could say it put Britton on the map."
Britton's amazing three-year run included a 68-2 record, an appearance in the quarterfinals and two state titles.
Since that time, Lenawee County has seen only two teams reach the state finals. Under coach Charlie Risner, Sand Creek went to the 1992 Class D state championship game. And, of course, last weekend, Lenawee Christian appeared in the Class D title game. Both teams came up just short, leaving Britton still the only county champion.
"It was a great time," said Roger Bortel, one of the players to play on both squads. "We would eat together as a team. We'd go to a local restaurant and people would come up and talk to us, talk about the game. After we won, many of us were invited to speak around the county. I think I went to the Blissfield Kiwanis club to talk about the experience."
Hamilton was somewhat of a media darling. Britton made headlines from newspapers all over Michigan, and one of the reasons was Hamilton had such a great rapport with sports writers.
"He would call the newspapers from Toledo and Detroit to report on our games," Benedict said. "He knew it was a great story – the tiny town of Britton having such a strong basketball team and the newspapers loved it, too."
One of the big stories was Britton's unusual height. In 1964, Britton started a front-line of 6-8, 6-4 and 6-1.
Benedict, who stood 6-foot-8, was the team's top scorer and rebounder. In his junior and senior seasons alone, he accounted for 1,023 points and 1,015 rebounds. He would go to Duke on a basketball scholarship. Knee problems kept him from getting much playing time, and he would transfer to Bowling Green State University. He lives in Atlanta today.
"The whole basketball experience had a tremendous impact on my life," he said. "It really shaped who I am today. I went from being pretty shy to being confident, and basketball had a lot to do with that. I wasn't an overly competitive guy, but I didn't like to lose. I wanted to succeed. You can say it was the same way in life, not just basketball."
More than 12,000 fans packed Jenison Fieldhouse for the 1964 finals. Britton beat Baraga, towering over the Upper Peninsula school to set a Class D finals record by scoring 79 points in the finals. Verl Sanch scored 26 points in that game, Benedict 21 and Pepper Griewahn 17.
"We were close," Benedict said of the team. "Almost all of us had attended Britton since elementary school."
McCrate, tagged "Mr. Forgetful" as a senior in the Britton High School yearbook, went on to coach the Clinton's boys basketball team. He was a member of the 1963 state championship team that was offered a scholarship at Adrian College by Ray Herrick, owner of Tecumseh Products. He took the offer and graduated.
While it has been 50 years, Bortel said success followed the state championship players in life.
"Those championships really shaped our lives," Bortel said. "Every one of us went on to be successful in life. Basketball was a big part of the reason why."
Britton boys basketball state titles remain county's only crowns

Welcome to the August issue of 'ABS News for Libraries'. Spring has just started to visit Canberra, and the creative energies must be stirring as there is just so much activity occurring both in the ABS and the community. The ABS is still busily touring with its Census roadshows, with consistently high demand for training across the country. Read about some of our recent activities in the Special, Public and Education Library sections.
One of our key publications, Australian Social Trends (cat.no.4102.0), was released this month. AST brings statistics and analysis together to tell stories about current social issues of importance to Australians. We have taken a different approach to Census news as well. Readers will find the spotlight turned on them as we start to feature innovative and client-focused initiatives to provide access to Census data. In this issue you can see the great work done by Mackay Public Library. If you have discovered similar endeavours in your internet travels, or your organisation has developed a great initiative to provide access to Census data for your clients, we would love to hear from you. In return, the ABS will send out a small 'thank you' prize.
For the latest web developments, check out NetNews and read about an improved email notification system that allows users to subscribe to individual publications. We have also developed and released a blog called 'Statistically Speaking' where you will find news, tips and information on accessing and using ABS data.
And there's more: regional roadshows, training, a Census quiz.....I hope you enjoy this feature-packed issue.
Stop the Press!
Census Basic Community Profiles were released yesterday to the web. If you are looking for a comprehensive set of statistical data for an area you select, then this is the resource for you. Best of all, this information is available free of charge.

Egregious Mistakes Regarding Jewish Practice from National Geographic
by: C. Breisch
Two elderly Jews were sitting on a bench in Hester Street Park on the lower east-side, fiercely debating one of the important issues perpetually debated on those benches. As the debate turned fiercer and fiercer, one exasperated Jew turned to the other and yelled, "I am not telling you a bubbe maaseh from chumash, it is the forvetz [forward] that I am quoting!"
Readers of this blog have had their rabbinic emunas chachamim tested on many occasions. But at least we have our "forvetz"s to trust and place our emunas chachamim in. But I am afraid that this may too be shaken.
They don't come more trustworthy than the stolid National Geographic. Month after month photographers travel to the ends of the earth to teach us the pure unadulterated emes. In line with this wonderful trust, I bought their all-discipline reference work "The Knowledge Book: everything you need to know to get by in the 21st century". It is compiled by over twenty researchers and over twenty academic consultants of the top universities worldwide [i.e. Dr Frick is the consultant for chemistry].
Out of curiosity I browsed through the two pages on Judaism [230-233].
Here are some chiddushim:
1] "According to orthodox Judaism ten adult males must be present during sermon". [halavi!]
2] "Today, the Hebrew Torah is commonly recited within a sermon held in the local language." [meturgamun?]
3] "In orthodox Judaism, a tefillin [prayer belt and jacket], …..are worn during prayer". [what about a hat?]
4] page 232 has a picture of the first blatt of masechet chagiga, and is captioned: "This page of Talmud concerns genesis"
Kidding aside, this raises many troubling issues about the veracity of the more obscure historical facts presented to us. Very few people have the time and grit to double check a "scholarly work" presented by a man with impressive credentials. Much of history can only be reasonable conjecture built around a few tangible bits of evidence. If a person claiming to be one of the world's experts on Judaism, obviously never stepped foot in a shul, reviewed by august editors, and receiving the chosamo shel National Geographic, can present such drivel, how does one trust the work of a lesser mortal?
I am reminded of the chazal about Shlomo Hamelech walking with Ashmedai, and they passed by a magician showing off. Ashmedai burst out laughing. When Shlomo asked him why, he replied, "This "magician" is telling everyone about his visions of treasures in faraway lands….whilst under his feet lays a great treasure!"
The National Geographic claims month after month to tell me about faraway lands and events billions of years ago. A twenty minute walk from their august headquarters sits an orthodox shul [Kesher Israel] and boy did they get it wrong.

Pilot Program: Sustainability Reporting Guidelines
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board on Wednesday offered guidelines for the health-care industry to set consistent metrics for reporting environmental, social and governance data in their annual reports.
The standards, which are voluntary, will be tested over the next few years in a pilot program to see whether the costs of reporting such information matches the benefits, according to Dr. Jean Rogers, executive director and founder of the SASB, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco.
The group targeted the health-care sector first, which includes everything from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies to managed-care providers, because it represents almost one-fifth of U.S. gross domestic product and is one of the biggest users of energy.
"Investors really need to be able to benchmark peer-to-peer performance and that's what's been missing from this whole sustainability conversation," Ms. Rogers told CFO Journal.
The aim is to get companies to disclose specific metrics on issues including employee turnover, ethical marketing, energy usage, supply chain quality management, and pricing fairness. For example, one metric would encourage companies to disclose the ratio of their net price increases to the U.S. Consumer Price Index.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission already requires public companies to disclose material risks in the management discussion and analysis section of annual reports, but the way those metrics are disclosed is entirely up to the company.
For example, last year, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. warned in its annual report that counterfeit versions of its products could have a "negative impact" on its business and reputation. GlaxoSmithKline PLC also discussed counterfeit medicines in its annual 20-F report filed with the SEC, but was more specific, noting that in China it had added serial number to 31 products, resulting in a "significant" reduction of reports of counterfeit medicine.
"Different types of investors seek their own types of disclosures," said Laura Francis, chief financial officer at Auxogyn Inc., a reproductive medical technology startup.
"For a company like ours sustainability is survival," said Ms. Francis, who said she regularly discusses supply management issues with investors, "but life sciences investors often do think closely about a company's mission."


text: A political documentary on the uncontrolled spread of small arms, which rule and ruin the lives of an incredible and growing number of people in developing countries. Through the eyes of different experts whose lives depend on small arms, the film shows the causes and impact of the trade--legal, 'grey' and illegal--in small arms and its ammunition, in particular in regions where the European Union and the United Nations are active, such as the former Yugoslavia and Congo. Especially interesting for western audiences, the film shows how brokers--often under some "organized" legal cover--buy weapons collected by the EU and NATO during their missions in Bosnia. These brokers then transfer the weapons directly to African battlefields where they continue their killing unhindered. Shot on location in Cambodia, Eastern Congo, Uganda, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Germany, the United States and the Netherlands.

Apparently, Flowers restructured his contract to help the Chiefs free up more cap space. He didnt take a pay cut, they just shifted how he gets paid so that we have more room in the salary cap. We now have 4.9 million.
Personally, I dont think that this is because we are planning on bringing someone specific in, but rather to give some breathing room in case we have to sign someone because of an injury. It also gives us some freedom to cut some people with high cap numbers (i.e. AJ Jenkins) without putting us over. Also, I think if we end up not using it, we can roll it over into next year's salary cap.

US Military Cuts Off Support For 'Fallujah: The Musical'
NEW YORK, NY — Just days before its planned premiere on Broadway, the troubled Fallujah: The Musical has received a further blow after the U.S. military announced it was cutting off all support for the production, Pentagon sources say, citing concerns over its appropriateness.
The show has already received several positive advance reviews, including from Al Jazeera, which described Fallujah as "a relentless and methodical assault on the senses." The New York Times had equally good things to say: "From the opening number, Drowning Pool's 'Bodies,' to the closing number, 'Anything Goes,' Fallujah is a nonstop series of contrasts between good taste and a bloody battle. Faced with the U.S. Marines, good taste never stood a chance."
But that didn't stop Phil Strub, head of the Department of Defense's Film and Television Liaison Office, from suddenly cutting off military assistance.
"After a thorough review we now believe that a song and dance number, complete with a kickline made up of Al Qaeda terrorists, may not be the most appropriate venue to convey the horrors of sustained urban combat," Strub said in a written statement, referencing show-stopping finale of Act One, "Getting To Blow You Up."
This withdrawal of financial and technical support could not come at a less convenient time for the star-crossed production, which some critics have already begun derisively calling "The Phantom of the Fury."
With just 72 hours before the curtain rises, veteran director Horatio "Jerry" Schrader, best known for his work on Kony and the Amazing Technicolor Kalashnikov, now has to find several M1 Abrams tanks and an Apache helicopter that are essential to Fallujah's final number, "If You Dance With Me, I'll Kill You All."
The show has been plagued with a series of other delays and accidents that repeatedly set back the production, most of them stemming from Schraders' decision to broaden the show's appeal by hiring native Iraqis for the chorus. The move backfired, as the Iraqis became "problematic," in the director's words. Just days after rehearsals began, they lynched the lead choreographer, set his body on fire, and draped it over the entrance to the theater.
Schrader brought in several more Iraqis to act as liaisons between himself and the cast after an on-stage fistfight that started when several former Marines recognized the lead Iraqi dancer as Abu Dishka, a prominent enemy commander during the battle. However the liaisons proved completely ineffective, and ultimately looted the set and fled the Green Room.
"We can make do without them in the romantic number 'It's Fun To Come Home With P-T-S-D!'" Schrader said. "But I'm really worried about the finale and the penultimate song, 'I'm Gonna Blast That Man Right Outa My House.'"
The show is the brainchild of playwright Jason Waterman, who put his lifelong dream of being a Broadway dancer on hold in 2002 to enlist in the Marines as an infantryman. He fought in the Second Battle of Fallujah with the "Darkhorse" 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, and was severely wounded while helping clear a house. Though Waterman's dancing dreams vanished that day, along with his arms and legs, he redirected his passion for dropping bodies towards songwriting and stage production.
Waterman has publicly said he's confident that the Iraqi chorus will still be able to carry the show, "because they already know how it ends," but privately was much less optimistic.
"This is going to be such a train wreck of a show," Waterman admitted, "but at least it can't be any worse than the actual battle."

Marine Corps to reduce infantryman's load by recruiting fewer wussies
In an attempt to reduce the weight carried by already overburdened infantryman, the Marine Corps announced today that it would seek to reduce troops' combat loads by recruiting fewer wussies.
"Studies by the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab and Center for Naval Analyses have shown that we can greatly decrease injury rates by reducing the number of wimps, wusses, and Nancy-pantses in our infantry units," said Commandant of the Marine Corps Gen. Robert Neller.
"Further, we believe a battalion's lethality will increase ten to fifteen percent simply by removing all broke dick losers from its ranks."
Previous studies from the World War II and Vietnam War eras showed that the maximum amount of weight under which the average infantryman could effectively operate in combat was 45 to 50 pounds. However, Neller believes this load could be increased to 80 or even 90 pounds for any Marine that is not a "candy-ass bitch."
"After months of lab experiments and field testing, we've concluded that a Marine could travel farther and faster under load if he or she is not a pathetic, spineless jellyfish," said CNA physiologist Dr. Zeb Krantz. "Much of the pain and fatigue often associated with rucking and patrolling can be overcome by a steady practice of sucking it the fuck up."
Operational testing by Marine units in Twentynine Palms, California, also showed that most Marine could increase their carrying capacity by regularly lifting heavy weights and not being a flaccid little creampuff. The Warfighting Lab has even developed a qualitative assessment called the Performance and Nerve System (PANSys) for determining whether a prospective recruit is an impotent softy.
"We're still in the beginning stages of implementation," said Neller. "But I'm confident we'll be able to get rid of all chickenshit fat bodies by the end of the year."

Marines with no combat experience haze Marines with equal amount of combat experience
TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. – A hazing scandal has rocked the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center after multiple reports of inappropriate treatment towards junior Marines, sources confirmed today.
The alleged perpetrators, a group of lance corporals with 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines, maintain their innocence, citing their solemn duty as non-commissioned officers to train their Marines.
The group recently returned from a six month deployment to the "central command area of responsibility," during which they were exposed to absolutely no danger or anything closely resembling combat.
"I just spent six months standing post in Kuwait, do you think I would have been capable of guarding a base in a completely safe and sovereign nation if I hadn't had a broom stick shoved up my ass as a private?" said Lance Cpl. James Stockton.
"Yeah, how do you think I would have had the mental fortitude to lift twice a day and consume 7,000 calories per meal if I hadn't been punched in the face by my seniors?" added Lance Cpl. Daniel Gonzalez.
The Marines' platoon sergeant, Staff Sgt. Nathan White, gave a confusing and contradictory statement.
"Back in my day, this would have been considering training, but you know, you can't do that shit, but you know, sometimes things happen when they shouldn't happen, and sometimes that's the way it is," he said.
The key witness, 2nd Lt. Joshua Emerson, was standing his first duty when he stumbled across the scene.
"I heard someone yell, 'You boot fucks are going to learn what it's like to eat three delicious meals a day and attend Air Force sponsored activities,'" Emerson said. "Then they started shoving cake in their mouths, making them identify the flavor. One Marine said chocolate, but the correct answer was dulce de leche."
The groups' commanding officer, Lt. Col. John Q. Kraft, was particularly perplexed by the hazing incident, having spent over 49 hours personally briefing the Marines on the dangers of hazing.
"We did seven consecutive safety stand-downs," Kraft said. "This is definitely not my fault and should not impact my career."
Kraft took swift action in response to the incident. He placed one officer and one staff non-commissioned officer on every deck of the barracks for 24-hour shifts. When asked if the new policy may have contribute low unit morale, Kraft scoffed.
"Nonsense, I stood duty every day for three years when I was a lieutenant, these boots need to be tougher. It's not hazing, its good training," he said.
The commanding general has already convicted the alleged hazers to two life sentences, despite lacking the authority to do so.
"Hazers don't deserve due process," the general was heard yelling within earshot of the base's frustrated legal team.

Navy announces newest occupational specialty: 'meat gazer'
WASHINGTON — The Navy announced today the creation of a new career track to help with its large urinalysis test backlog: meat gazer.
The new Navy occupational specialty will require sailors to keep an eye on the wieners of service members as they urinate into collection cups during drug tests.
"Meat gazing was historically a low-level collateral duty for go getters who volunteered to impress commanders, weirdos who enjoy checking out other dudes' packages, or simple run-of-the-mill perverts. Now, it's a full-time job," said Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer.
The meat gazer rating is the result of a petition that went viral and gained the attention of Navy leaders.
The Marines started the petition.org effort as a joke, but it quickly garnered service-wide exposure. Roughly 245,000 sailors signed the petition within days, which equates to nearly three-quarters of the Navy begging and yearning to stare at rods for a living.
"In addition to the petition, we also noted that a large number of sailors already excelled in staring at the genitalia of other male sailors in the restroom," said Capt. Richard D. Head, who is spearheading the new initiative. "It really made sense to build a satisfying career track for these hog worshipers."
While sailors from across the Navy have been submitting rate-change request packets in record numbers, most of the new meat gazers are expected to come from the ranks of the Navy's master at arms rating, which already has a high number of habitual meat gazers.
Advancement exams for the new specialty will cover topics such as advising sailors on how to handle their beef during testing, keeping urine containers uncontaminated, and requiring sailors to stand far enough away from urinals to allow meat gazers the perfect view to see urine leave the penis.
"Sometimes we are staring more intently and concentrating harder than the person trying to push urine through their meat sticks," said Petty Officer 2nd Class Jack M. Hoff. "But the whole experience is satisfying to everyone involved. I'm glad the Navy has heard our voices and is allowing meat gazers to exist. I'm beyond excited."
Sailors hoping to obtain a slot as a meat gazer have been spending their free time hanging out in as many locker rooms as possible, practicing their trade, and honing their skills, according to sources.

First Sergeant won't let troops leave Syria until they fill out their leave chits
Days after President Donald Trump announced he would be pulling all U.S. troops out of Syria, a Marine first sergeant on the ground has refused to let any of them leave until "every swingin' dick" has filled out their leave chits, sources confirmed today.
"Hold on there, motivators. No one's going anywhere until you all have a daggum hour-by-hour safety plan in place," said 1st Sgt. Ray Thornton. "And there ain't no way in hell the CO will approve these chits until squad leaders have inspected every friggin' POV."
Thornton stressed to the Marines that anyone planning to travel farther from Syria than the allowed 200-mile leave boundaries would need to have a special plan in place and would need to call CENTCOM every 24 hours to check in.
"I signed the wrong block on my leave chit, and now I'm stuck in Raqqah by myself until after New Years," said Cpl. Ryan Payne. "This sucks!"
Within hours of Trump's announcement on Wednesday, Thornton had the entire formation covered and aligned by the border to prepare to leave, but they ended up being stuck there for days waiting for the armory sight count to be up.
"Count it again!" shouted Thornton, enemy artillery rounds falling around the Marines. "And who the hell submitted this roster as an Excel spreadsheet? I asked for a PDF!"
At press time, all troops had been recalled to Syria for an emergency police call to find a missing canteen.

Troops ask to live with Mattis after divorce is finalized
WASHINGTON — Most troops caught in the middle of a domestic dispute that resulted in their father Jim Mattis filing for divorce say they hope they can live with him after this is all over, sources confirmed today.
Mattis filed for divorce from President Donald Trump last week, citing "irreconcilable differences" that stemmed from the cancellation of vacation plans in Syria, the president's decision to send some of the kids to border school in October, and his well-known Diet Coke drinking problem.
"I love daddy Mattis more than anything in the entire world," said Army Spc. Nick Kester. "He reads a book to me every night, while Trump isn't even there at bedtime."
Although some argue Trump has been "great with the kids" and truly cares about their welfare, a number of sources have come forward to allege the president has abused the troops he supposedly loves on a number of occasions.
Sources say Trump has not once visited them while they were away at The University of Iraq and Afghanistan. Some even believe he has been cheating on their dad with National Security Advisor John Bolton, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, or Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Troops were also angered by his erratic behavior and tendency to teach them far different life lessons than their favored parent.
"Mattis makes us do pushups and wants our family to be more lethal," said Marine Lt. Philip Allison. "Meanwhile, when I asked Trump whether he'd like to throw the nuclear football around, he said, 'oh sure, kid, just give me a few minutes,' and then never came out."
"Last time I talked with him all he kept telling me was how I was an idiot for paying anything over a 4% tax rate," Allison added.
The couple heads to family court on Jan. 1, 2019, where a judge is expected to divide their $2.7 trillion in assets and set up a custody arrangement many believe will favor Mattis, who plans to visit with the kids often, teach them about the bullets and the bees, and put them through college on the GI Bill.
"I absolutely plan to bring up his use of community property to buy this stupid border wall that he found on Amazon," Mattis said.

Mattis looking forward to 'peaceful retirement' spent firing Minigun out door of Huey
THE PENTAGON — After news broke that he would be resigning from his post in February 2019, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters he was looking forward to spending a "peaceful retirement" firing a GAU-17 Minigun out the door of a UH-1 Huey helicopter.
"Yup, I can't wait to kick back with a relaxing 3 or 4 thousand rounds per minute every morning before PT," said Mattis. "Much better than this boring bullshit here in D.C."
Mattis served a storied career as a Marine general before moving into his role as Secretary of Defense, and sources within the Pentagon said that he still managed to fire a few hundred rounds every day at lunchtime "just to let off some steam."
"Jim would regularly hump an 81mm mortar tube around the halls of the Pentagon because he said the weight helped keep his back aligned," said Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford.
"And he loved challenging all those little Air Force nerds to ground-fighting matches in the courtyard during his coffee break. They were always scared shitless."
While he was admittedly emotional that he'd be leaving the military world behind after a nearly 50-year career, Mattis says he has plans to start a second career in the agricultural industry.
"Now that I'm retiring, I'll finally have time to get out to the countryside and tend to my flock of A-10 Warthogs," said Mattis. "Such serene and beautiful creatures."
Danger Close contributed reporting.

Retired Marine General John Kelly relieves White House Chief of Staff John Kelly of duty
WASHINGTON — Retired Marine Gen. John F. Kelly was relieved to relieve White House Chief of Staff John Kelly of duty, sources confirmed today.
Kelly will depart by the end of the year.
Kelly, who in the past honorably served as a Marine and was also the Department of Homeland Security Secretary for a couple of weeks or whatever before moving to the White House, informed the chief of his relief to the relief of the chief, while standing in front of a mirror in the West Wing.
Trump chose some guy named Mick Mulvaney, who is the head of the Office of Budget and Management, to replace Kelly. Mulvaney is reportedly a pay-to-play Republican — a much better fit for Trump than the somewhat morally-upstanding Kelly — who once said, "If you are a lobbyist who never gave us money, I did not talk to you. If you are a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you."
Reports of Kelly being forced to leave his suit jacket behind — as happened to previous Trump aide John McEntee — were dismissed.
"He dropped it like a hot potato," said A.Z. Kizzer, a White House staffer who has served in 17 administrations as a card-carrying member of the Deep State. Kizzer added that not only did Kelly throw down his jacket, he also set fire to it with a military-grade flamethrower while yelling, "Moto T-shirts from now on! Veteran-owned, American-proud!"
Kelly joins a host of Trump administration departures who reportedly gave the one-finger salute to the president's awesome hair while asserting that "happiness is the White House in your rear view mirror," to paraphrase a legendary country song. It's been reported that Kelly no longer talks to the president, and that he was perturbed by having to be interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team regarding unspecified obstructions of justice by the Administration.
Army Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, the national security advisor who departed his position last April, was supportive.
"I was replaced by the mustache of John Bolton, so I see no problem with John being replaced by whatever jetsam floats down Pennsylvania Ave.," said McMaster. "These days, anyone can get a job at the White House, what with all the vacancies because of, you know, subpoenas and jail terms."
Kelly reportedly wrote an email regarding his departure to fellow Marine and Defense Secretary James Mattis.
"I've been sleeping with my DD-214 printed woobie for months," he wrote. "I'm tired. But old woobies never die, they just fade away. And I'm just like that faded woobie, fading away from the shame I suffered working so long for President Prick and his cadre of law-breaking priquettes."
Later, Kelly continued denying that he ever called Trump an idiot. Smiling directly at reporters and cameramen, he snapped two fingers and added, "But you never asked if I called him a a whack-doodle, a fourth-grade lunch-stealer, a pathological liar, or a scumbag serial adulterer. Sucks to be a bunch of 27-year old know-nothing journalists."

Meet the woman who got a kidney transplant from an infantryman and woke up craving Monster and Skoal
CARMEL, Ind. – Third grade teacher Kasie Spyker woke up after a long-awaited kidney transplant dying for a cold Monster and fresh can of Skoal after receiving an organ from an infantryman, sources at Methodist Hospital confirmed today.
Spyker, who had been suffering from lupus and on a strict diet of fresh foods her entire life, had never tried any of Monster's products before the life-saving surgery.
"I'd heard from other patients in the transplant ward that they felt different after the transplant." Said Spyker. "For David, he got a lung transplant from a marathoner and suddenly wanted to go running. I got a kidney from an infantryman, and suddenly wanted to pack a fat lip."
Spyker's friends and family had raised over $20,000 to help pay for the transplant surgery and recovery. They were thrilled to learn that she'd be getting a kidney from a young infantryman at the peak of physical fitness after he died suddenly in a freak motorcycle airbrushing accident. They now hope to raise money for the Dodge Charger payments the soldier left behind.
"I feel like a new woman," said Spyker, drawing out a fresh new tattoo to commemorate the transplant. "I'm so thankful for this new lease on life. I can't wait until I'm out of this hospital gown and can go buy some new affliction t-shirts and axe body spray."

Thaught it might be a good idea to start a container post. Either ideas for containers, places to buy or sales that you have seen.
I will start with army surplus ammo containers. I found nice size ones at Mills Fleet Farm in Fargo and Fergus Falls for $3.50 US on sale. Excellent condition and a great price from what I have seen. I picked up 13 of them for future hides. These are great for in the bush not so great for urban caching.
It was a good thing my car wasn't searched this past weekend, they would have opened the hatch and saw 13 ammo containers lining the floor. :)
I noticed a shipment of lock & locks of a few different sizes at Dollarama last week. Ok, so they're not actual lock & locks. But the mechanics are similar. Four tabs that close over the edges of the container.
And they're a dollar!
I went to Army Surplus yesterday. There were about 200 ammo cans there. The ones that are 15.00 at Princess Auto are 13.00 at Army Surplus. And they are clean. They have TONS of those smaller 10.00 containers.
If you want to break the bank, you can spend around 40.00 on a container big enough to hold one of Bevro's dogs, and likely both of grnbrg's! Although they wouldn't be happy about it.

Hi PascalReplyDelete
I´m brazilian and I have seen you in Lookbook. I´ve really identified with your work and I was wondering, do you know Machado de Assis?
He was a great brazillian writer, and made a sitcom called Dom Casmurro. It was written in 1889 and it´s the reflex of the society on that time. It is a brazillian masterpiece. I am telling you that because I thought the sitcom is so like you! The clothes, the way how it was aproched… One of the things I like the most is the soundtrack. One of my favorites songs is in it : Beirut – Elephant Gun.
I am sending you a video, but the problem is, it is in Portuguese… But I really hope you like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZmMGVmr-6c
I love this magazine too ! :)ReplyDelete
I've always been interested in Acne paper but I've never picked it up. The only place in my city that seemed to carry it has stopped so now it seems like I'm SOL.ReplyDelete

If you're a developer, there's an easy way to give your eyes a rest and make yourself more productive. Use the Consolas font Microsoft developed specifically for you.
When we began work on a project to create a new set of fonts which would take maximum advantage of ClearType, we decided to develop a fixed-pitch font for developers - because no one ever thought of their needs, and we realized a highly-readable fixed-width font would make their lives a lot easier.
We call them the C* fonts because their names all begin with C (for ClearType), and we spent a lot of research and development time making them as readable as possible.
Look at the difference Consolas makes, for instance, in the CMD.EXE window. Here's what the standard 8 x 12 pixel raster font looks like…
… and here's Consolas
You'll see Consolas doesn't get you as many lines on a screen – but it's so much clearer and better to read that it's well worth the tradeoff.
Bryn Spears on the Internet Explorer team gave me the following simple instructions to turn on Consolas in the CMD Window:
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionConsoleTrueTypeFont" /v 00 /d Consolas
Note: In Windows Vista, you need to run the reg command from an elevated command prompt.
When you log back in, Consolas will be an option in the "Command Prompt" Properties. (n.b., Bryn tells me it actually shows up before you relog, but it won't work.)
You can install Consolas on your Windows system even if you don't have Vista or Office 2007 with a free download from Microsoft.com
The Windows International fonts team is working on another version that'll support Vietnamese, and also the line draw characters that we made to support the console window.

Choosing a Radio Ad Format
Your business's radio ad's format should get the attention of people you want to become your business's customers. The radio ad format that your customers find appealing (and informative) can influence how listeners react to the message you're conveying:
Most dialogue radio spots aren't effective because nobody talks like that in real life, repeating information over and over again. These spots just cry out to be ignored, if not laughed at, because they're completely unbelievable.
Don't offend or insult your listener with a premise and copy that's unbelievable, contrived, confusing, and just plain dumb. If you do, you have no one to blame but yourself when that listener reaches over, punches the radio button, and makes you instantly disappear.
Like dialogue spots, a poorly conceived comedy premise and badly written copy do a lot more harm than good — so tread lightly. Setting up an amusing idea, including some copy that actually sells your product in an entertaining manner, and then delivering a good punch line in the span of 60 seconds is difficult.
A straight read
A single voice reading 60 seconds of clear, concise, fact-filled copy that motivates and sells listeners is always a good bet. No frills. No jokes. No unrealistic dialogue. Just the offer — the selling proposition — read by a good, strong voice. You may want to toss in some background music or even some sound effects.
A straight read is the most effective copywriting method you can use to convey a selling message. And it's the easiest, which, if you're new to the game, may be the best reason of all to employ it.

For me this photograph is truly a treasure, a simple black and white image as valuable to me as a nugget of gold. When I learned that the trove of photographs my mother saved over the course of her life would come into my custody, this photograph was among those I knew I would be most happy to have; however, when I looked through my Mom's collection, this picture was nowhere to be seen. It was not among all of the photographs my mother kept in various albums and boxes. I felt very sad when I could not find it, wondered what had happened to it, and mourned its loss. Then, last weekend when we were at my parents' home, continuing to clear it out, my brother came across a manilla envelope inside one of the drawers in our father's highboy dresser. Lo and behold, within that envelope was this photograph. I was absolutely thrilled to see it.
I remember looking at this photograph when I was a child, looking at it and loving it. It was one of several shots taken at 'dress dances', as they were called. A dress dance meant black tie and a ball gown, a late-night supper, and dancing to an orchestra. My parents, Mary Ball and Michael Geraghty, usually attended with a large group of friends, as well as some family members. Everyone always looks so happy in the pictures.
As a child I used to love the elegant look of it all, and day-dreamed about one day wearing a beautiful evening gown and dancing in the same ballrooms where my parents once danced. Of course, dress dances and ballroom dancing went out of vogue long ago, so my dream did not come true, but still I love to gaze at the photographs and imagine what it was like on those evenings, in the years before my mother and my father were married.
I can identify several of the people in the photograph, but for most their names are lost to me now. My father is second from the left in the row of men standing behind the ladies. Next to him, and third from the left is his uncle, my grand-uncle William Halpin. My mother is seated second from the left in between my father's aunt, my grand-aunt Mollie Magee Halpin and May Halpin Daly Barnwell. It's funny to see Mollie Magee Halpin happily seated next to my mom Mary, since Mollie strongly encouraged her nephew Michael Geraghty to court Mary Ball's sister instead of Mary. Thankfully, my dad only had eyes for my mom.
In addition to this photograph and others like it, among my mother's effects I found four dance cards which I do not recall ever before seeing. Each one gives the details of the dance, the menu for the supper, and the programme of music to be played. The largest of these small 'programmes' is three inches wide and five inches long; the smallest is only two by three inches. On a couple of them, in a youthful version of my mother's handwriting, is a listing of some the people with whom she attended.
Reading these little cards, and gazing at the photographs, I can imagine many happy evenings with my parents, Mary and Mike, dancing together, lingering over a late supper, and dreaming about their future.

Niagara University's College of Education is playing a prominent role in a new statewide faculty development initiative affiliated with New York's Race to the Top federal program.
On April 25, the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities unveiled the program, which also includes similar initiatives at City University of New York institutions and at State University of New York campuses.
The project will provide professional development for faculty in education, and arts and sciences in order to deepen understanding and fully implement the many changes in the areas of teacher and school leader certification, teacher and principal performance evaluations, data-driven instruction, clinically rich teacher and leader preparation, and the Common Core State Standards. Included in the initiative is the development and implementation of new certification examinations for initially certified teachers, including the teacher performance assessment that stems from the research of Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond of Stanford University. Darlington is a leading researcher in the field of education.
Partnerships with P-12 schools are also central to the changes in pre-service programs and certification regulations and will, therefore, be included in the professional development strategy.
The Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities has been allocated $3 million to support its members' efforts, with all related activities to take place before June 30, 2014. The Office of the State Comptroller awarded the funds.
Dr. Debra Colley, dean of Niagara University's College of Education, has been appointed to the program's expert advisory panel, making her one of only six deans from independent institutions to sit on the panel.
"I am delighted to participate on this panel with so many well-respected leaders in higher education," Colley said. "To be selected for this role by cIcu is another testament to the exceptional high quality of Niagara University's programs in teacher and leader education."
Furthermore, NU's College of Education has been confirmed as the facilitating institution for the Western New York/Finger Lakes Region, coordinating regional communication and organization of the professional development activities within the project's framework proposed by cIcu and approved by the New York State Education Department.
"University-based, comprehensive programs have been directly involved in discussions of the continuum of ongoing professional learning," Colley added. "This statewide opportunity to elevate the impact of programs offered through the independent colleges and universities is most important as we know that our comprehensive and coordinated approach to high-quality teaching and learning has a clear impact on student growth, achievement and college and career readiness."
Additional information on the initiative is available at www.isnetworked.org.

On Wednesday, Sept. 12, Markowtiz visited one of the borough's newest slice parlors, Williamsburg Pizza at 265 Union Ave.
The co-owner of Williamsburg Pizza, Jeff McCann, who has lived in the building above the restaurant for the past 11 years, said the space used to be a Chinese restaurant. When he heard the new owners were not going to renew their lease, McCann said he and his partners decided to open a pizza shop.
"You couldn't go six blocks either way and find a decent slice of pizza," he said. "Now you can."
Though the menu for the restaurant hasn't been finalized, McCann figured that a typical slice should be about $2.30. "I think a piece of pizza should be around the price of a Metrocard," he said.
McCann also stressed that unlike other pizza places in the area, many of their ingredients including tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and dough are made fresh the day the pizza is ordered.
To add to the restaurant's authentic scene, a six-foot deep, triple-deck gas oven imported from Italy makes for quite the tasty pie.
The chef's signature pie happens to be Margarita pizza—a combination of mozzarella, olive oil, fresh basil, fresh tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan cheeses—which also happens to be Markowitz's favorite.
"I'd like to take a pizza home for my wife," said Markowtiz. "It's so good."

Of all the potential Lego franchises, AMC's "Breaking Bad" exists probably at the bottom of the list (if it's there at all). But a parody video making the rounds online shows just how much fun playing a Lego version of Walter White could be.
The animated video, created by Brian K Anderson, demonstrates what a "Lego Breaking Bad" video game as designed by Travelers' Tales would look like.
For those who aren't fully caught up with the series, be warned that a few potential spoilers exist in the video, but as long as you've seen through the end of Season 4, you should be all right.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of 'Breaking Bad'
Like the actual Lego games, such as "Lego Lord of the Rings," audio from the series is used to fill out the animated scenes. However, unlike the fantastic adventures of "Lord of the Rings," "Indiana Jones," "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter," the grim world of "Breaking Bad" involves cooking meth and hitting drug dealers with your car.
There are a couple of Easter eggs hidden in the video for loyal "Breaking Bad" watchers. Look carefully at the top of Walter White's house in the beginning of the video to spot the pizza that ended up on the roof during Season 2.
For those not interested in video games, the final stretch of eight episodes of "Breaking Bad" begins on Aug. 11.
