After Attacks, Rebuilding Coptic Churches in Minya, Egypt
Last Wednesday, Egypt's military and police cracked down on two tent-cities that were filled with thousands of protesters who had camped out for more than a month to support ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
When the dust cleared hours later, more than 600 pro-Morsi protesters had been killed.
But hundreds of miles away in the Upper Egyptian city of Minya, home to one of the largest concentrations of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority, unknown assailants — residents say they were backed by Islamist supporters of Mr. Morsi — were already taking their revenge. Some Islamists accuse Egypt's Coptic Christian minority of having backed Mr. Morsi's downfall.
I visited Minya on Monday, along with a group of journalists, and snapped a few Instagram photos of the damage. Many of the churches laid in ruins, littered with poignant reminders of the beautiful spaces they once were.

Law Day 2016
Law Day 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of Miranda vs. Arizona
Law Day events are conducted each May 1 across the country to help youth and adults understand how law keeps us free and how our legal system strives to achieve justice. Every year since 1958 the president of the United States has issued a Law Day proclamation recognizing the importance of this day.
Each year, the American Bar Association coordinates the theme and message for Law Day and makes resources available to local schools, courts, libraries, community organizations, and educators interested in hosting their own event. The ABA's Law Day Planning Guide contains ideas for events big or small.

The Lipscomb Bisons have two practices and two games left in the regular season. In many ways they are in control of their destiny, but they also need some help if they are going to emerge as the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season champion and the No. 1 seed in next week's tournament.
"Our main focus is to get better these last two games heading into March," Sanderson said. "We haven't talked about circumstances. We have talked more about how we are going to play against Kennesaw State and that is all we have talked about.
"We haven't brought up any scenarios. We have to get better possession by possession. If you look ahead you end up getting your feelings hurt."
The scenarios are almost mind-boggling. But as coach Scott Sanderson gets his team ready to face Kennesaw State Thursday night at 7:30 and Mercer Saturday at 5 he is not worried about scenarios. He simply wants his team to continue to get better.
"There is a lot at stake," Sanderson said. "We need to play well in both games.
"All we can control is what we can do. If we worry about what everybody else is going to do we are going to be in trouble. We have to worry about us and us only."
The last time the Bisons played the Kennesaw State Owls was Dec. 5, a 97-91 road loss. Guard Josh Slater scored a game-high 29 points and also led the Bisons in assists with 11 and rebounds with seven. Forward Brandon Brown added 23 points and center Adnan Hodzic scored 17.
But five Kennesaw State players scored in double figures led by sophomore guard Kurtis Woods with 21 points. Redshirt freshman forward LaDaris Green grabbed a game-high eight rebounds.
But the biggest statistic for the Owls was their 19-of-25 shooting from the 3-point line.
"They shot an incredible clip against us and played extremely well against us," Sanderson said. "We scored 91 points and that was a lot of points to score and get beat.
"I've been watching the film of that game and they made some tough shots. They made a lot of tough 3-pointers at the end of the shot clock that were just back-breakers. You are playing defense and playing defense and all of a sudden they would jump up and make a three late in the clock."
Sanderson would still like to see the Bisons pick up the pace defensively, but he thinks they will be more prepared for Kennesaw State's perimeter attack.
"I like our flow, but we still have room to improve defensively," Sanderson said. "I think we are better at defending three-point shots."
The key word for the Bisons the past couple of weeks is "aware".
"I think we are more aware," Sanderson said. "We have talked about being aware of personnel and what the other guys can and can't do. I think we have done a little better job of that in February.
"We still have time for improvement. The players need to know that they can still improve. I feel like they know that. Hopefully, we can improve before we get in the conference tournament next week."

Hey! It's not a bottomless pot of ... Smoked Sausage and White Bean Soup!
Today's soup is awesome! It's another super-dee-duper easy recipe to put together, but tastes good enough for company. Both my husband and youngest daughter ate *3* servings of this in one sitting. T-h-r-e-e servings. Each. Bear in mind that the youngest spoon wrangler is only about 50 lbs fully clothed. After I had my one serving, there was only a whopping two servings left in the pot for weekday lunches. I informed these loves of my life that this was not a bottomless pot of soup. Without dripping a single drop as they shoveled in spoonful after spoonful, the perpetrators of this travesty ever so casually suggested that I should just, you know, whip up another pot full. Uh huh. Picture me ... incredulous expression plastered on my face ... opening and closing my mouth, with no sound emitting from said oraface, about four times before I just walked away. After all, what did I have to complain about. They ate it. With gusto. While making yummy noises. Little stinkers.
Won't you join me now as we make It's not a bottomless pot of Smoked Sausage and White Bean Soup. Here's what you'll need:1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 teaspoon of bacon drippings from breakfast
1 lb smoked sausage – cut into fourths and diced in ½ in pieces.
1 large onion – diced
2 carrots – diced
3 cloves garlic – minced with salt
1 can small white beans, drained and rinsed
1 can larger white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed (or just use a total of 2 cans white beans)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 15 oz cans chicken broth
1 cup water
dash cayenne pepper
In a large stock pot, heat the oil and bacon drippings over medium heat.Add the sausage, turn up the heat a bit, and sauté until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet, there should be some fond in the bottom of the pan, stir the onions right into it. Saute for a couple minutes, then add the carrots. Saute the carrots and onions just a minute or two, then add the garlic. Stir frequently another minute or two. Add the sausage back into the pot. Add the beans, bay leaf, and thyme. Give a good stir, then add the broth and water. Sprinkle in just a wee bit of cayenne. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and gently simmer about 30 minutes uncovered. Done.Mmm, mmm, good. Just look at that!Isn't it lovely?Go ahead, take a bite. Unlike many bean soups, this one is a brothy bean soup ... instead of a thick one. A simple salad and a hearty loaf of bread alongside would satisfy just about anybody. One bite of this will make you wish this really was a bottomless pot of soup!YUM! Oh, and this is gluten free, all the way, baby!

I made chicken soup with fresh made broth on Saturday, but it probably won't make it to a post until next week. There were no lunchable leftovers (sob)!
Have you been able to get ideas from your "new" soup cookbook? I hope so. It just called your name to me from the book sale last fall, and I knew winter was coming (doesn't it always?)

hi paula, i'm glad you saw the advertisement i posted on my recent post. the women in it look and dress very much as you would expect to see in rural areas, and that's why i included it. i think it is very representative of middle-aged greek women living in the countryside, and it puts a lot of what i write about it in persepctive

Oh my! Can I come live at your house? I do dishes... I swear I do!
I've never seen white beans here, but I have about a ton of pintos... (don't ask - it's future blog material!) and I wonder... hmmm?
Canneloni's CAN be found though, so I might send the old guy on a hunting expedition this morning.
Our weather has cooled right down, but we're due to hit 95F by the end of the week!

Jan: I couldn't believe how quickly the soup disappeared. They did eat a late breakfast, too!
Katherine: This is one of those soups that comes together quickly and easily! Let me know if you make it!

Author Notes: As a sophomore at the University of Florida in 1992, I found myself deliriously happy to be in an apartment (with a kitchen) and out of a horrid dorm, finally free of meal plans/dining halls. I was a transfer student and I proceeded slowly, making friends and spending a lot of time exploring southern grocery stores and cooking. Being underage, keg parties got to be fairly boring after a while and I started hosting dinner parties at my apartment. I cooked and my "of age" room-mate bought the boxes (yes, I said boxes!) of wine. This is one of the frequent things I made and it was always a hit. I always served it with a big salad and garlic bread. I even used a freshly killed chicken a few times (a friend's father kept chickens).
This was also made for a small simple Thanksgiving celebration I had before all my friends went home for the holidays. —testkitchenette
Serves: 2-3
pounds best quality roasting chicken
butter and olive oil, softened together
tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
lemon, cut in half
small onion, roughly chopped
head of garlic, cut in half
sprig rosemary
pound red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Rub chicken all over with butter and olive oil mixture and season inside and out with salt and pepper. Put tablespoon of butter inside the chicken along with half the lemon (squeeze some of the juice over chicken), chopped onion, 1/2 of the garlic head, and rosemary sprig.
- Toss potatoes with a bit of olive oil and put on the bottom of a roasting pan and season with some salt and pepper. Add in other half of the head of garlic and other half of the lemon in with the potatoes. Over the potatoes lay down a cookie drying rack or a roasting rack and put the chicken on top of it.
- Roast the chicken 20 minutes per pound of chicken plus an extra 30 minutes. The total cooking time for this recipe with be 1 hour and 50 minutes. Remove from the oven (you can use a thermometer if you want to check the chickens' temperature) and let rest for a few minutes.
- I tend to hack the chicken up into pieces and serve on a large platter with the potatoes on the side (heavenly basted with the chicken fat as they cooked). Feel free to make a gravy/sauce with the juices and bits left over at the bottom of the roasting pan.

Seeing as I was unceremoniously banished from this website following several unfortunate incidents during my previous takeover (note to Ryan: I still intend to replace your cat…) I have decided that the only way to prove my worth and return to writing articles of value for this most treasured and important of websites is to delve deep to my West Coast Smuggler roots and pirate the website for a week.
By the time Ryan regains control he'll know I'm too important to be dropped by the roadside (which may actually be what happened to Ryan's cat…).
Now, indulge me just this once and read this Pirated article!
-The British Correspondent
And now in my first outlandish act of piracy…
MUPPET COMIC MONDAYS TO BE REPLACED BY MUPPET COMMENTARY MONDAYS BY THE BRITISH CORRESPONDENT (our apologies to the Muppet Comic Guru James Gannon…just go with it for the sake of comedy, okay?)
Greetings. It has been a while since I found myself (as I mentioned) cut off from the land of the blogging and so it has been for quite some time that you poor readers have been deprived of my deepest thoughts and most intimate feelings regarding recent Muppet happenings, so let's get a quick rundown...
mentioned a few days ago, the British Prince Royal will not be appearing in the movie because he has important engagements opening parks and helping old ladies cross the street...And good for him! Everyone knows that doing volunteer work is more important than appearing in some movie. Hang on... Where is he sourcing these rumours? That article has nothing to do with bonny Prince Charley...it's all about some actor named Charles Grodin. Goodness...well, I don't know what I think about that! How dare Charles Grodin put volunteer work ahead of the Muppets! Well! I'm shocked, shocked I say, at such selfish behaviour. Tsk tsk. (Views expressed by the British Correspondent do not necessarily reflect the views of this blog...)
My Uncle (twice-removed) will not be appearing in the new Muppet movie. Based almost entirely upon salacious rumours, Ryan felt that it was important to blog here that my Uncle would be playing a deadly part within the new Muppet movie, however I can confirm that my uncle is currently laid up with gout and will certainly not be making a transatlantic flight to appear within the movie no matter what James Bobin or Nicholas Stoller may have said in interviews over the weekend. Who are these people anyway? One sounds like the name of a beach pony and the other like a French beverage...What's that? According to a list of Muppet People You Should Know they are the Director and co-Writer of the movie respectively? ...Oh well...in that case I take back the remark about french donkeys and beach drinks and...right...yes...I just realised that original article was about the Muppet named Uncle Deadly...so...not really my uncle then...right...moving on... (Special thanks to the person whose baby picture I
stole borrowed for the formatting of this article)
Sam's opinion on American women was revealed the other day but there is still no word as yet regarding his opinion of the British Woman...or, as I like to refer to them, "Ladies" but I am suspicious that it is somewhat similar to his feelings regarding Canadian Rock Bands...
Anyway, that, my friends, is a Muppet Commentary Monday. I do so hope it has been informative... (And I do so hope that Muppet Comic Mondays will return to its normally slotted time next week...but shh...I'm pirating!)
Stay tuned this week for more piracy, an unexpected Weekly Muppet Wednesday and possibly (depending how long I can keep this connection open and the Interns and Ryans of this blog out) much much more!
Yours as ever,

(WENN) - Reese Witherspoon showed signs of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) as the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke last year, according to Oprah Winfrey.
Allegations of the disgraced producer's sexual misconduct were published in an expose in The New York Times last October, while Reese and Oprah were filming upcoming movie "A Wrinkle in Time."
On the set of the film, Oprah and Reese had a discussion about the claims with a group of women, and the media mogul was stunned by just how affected her co-star was.
"This was like two days after the Harvey scandal had broken in The New York Times," Oprah said during a chat with Salma Hayek for her SuperSoul Conversations podcast. "Everyone, including Reese – I've said this to her – was acting like, I was seeing some of the girls at my school behave, who were suffering from PTSD. Everybody was acting like they were afraid and they were having the conversation.
"And I remember Reese saying, 'Oh god, this is just so upsetting. And someone mentions his name, I start tearing up. And every time I hear someone else speak, it just causes me to be upset and I haven't slept in two days.'"
Oprah added that she questioned Reese about whether anything had ever happened to her but she didn't say anything.
"So I said, 'Jeez, you guys are suffering from PTSD. Did something happen to you?' Nobody said anything at the time," Oprah explained.
However, later that month as she attended the Elle Women in Hollywood event, Reese used her speech to reveal that she had been sexually assaulted by a director when she was just 16 years old.
"I have my own experiences that have come back to me very vividly and I find it really hard to sleep, hard to think, hard to communicate a lot of the feelings that I've been having about anxiety, honest, the guilt for not speaking up earlier," she said at the time.
"I feel true disgust at the director who assaulted me when I was 16 years old, and anger at the agents and the producers who made me feel that silence was a condition of my employment."
Reese also added that the incident wasn't the only time she had been abused as an actress.
"I wish I could tell you that was an isolated incident in my career, but sadly it wasn't," she continued. "I've had multiple experiences of harassment and sexual assault and I don't speak about them very often."

CHAPEL HILL – Reports of dead fish are emerging in the aftermath of Friday's gasoline leak at the Family Fare BP off Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. The Town of Chapel Hill said that as much as 2,400 gallons of gasoline spilled into Crow Branch Creek, though state and federal agencies haven't released an official number.
Julie McClintock is the President of the Friend's of Bolin Creek group and a member of the Booker Creek Watershed Alliance. She worked as an Air Quality Specialist for the Environment Protection Agency for more than a decade and also served on OWASA's Board of Directors.
McClintock's neighborhood is at the lower end of the spill's potential reach. She hasn't seen any dead fish herself but said neighbors have spotted them in Ellen Lake. WCHL received a report of dead fish on the banks of Crow Branch and Booker Creeks, in addition to a strong gasoline smell and foam in the water.
"I think it is terrible that this happened. I hope whoever is responsible will pay the full cost," McClintock said.
An EPA representative told WCHL news Tuesday that Bishop Construction Company was doing renovation work at the BP last Thursday and needed a pump to drain the rainwater from a footing hole connected to a pipe leading to a Town storm drain. The accumulation of rainwater caused the footing hole to cave in, and then falling concrete punctured a hole in one of the fiberglass tanks below.
The breached compartment held somewhere approximately 3,200 gallons of gasoline at the time of the incident, though the full amount was not leaked. Because the pump connected to the storm drain, gasoline flowed directly into Crow Branch Creek, a feeder of Booker Creek and Eastwood Lake.
Bishop Construction Company and the gas station are considered the "potentially responsible parties," according to the EPA, but subsequent action hasn't been taken at this point.
"There are a bunch of different pollutants that are a part of gasoline, and part of the spill involved ethanol, which is what is in high-test gasoline," McClintock said. "Ethanol mixes with water rather than floating on top. It is more pervasive and does kill wildlife more effectively than gasoline."
The EPA believed that the farthest reach of the spill was just Crow Branch Creek.
A rep from the N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality said they are awaiting a report from on-site clean-up crews to determine how many gallons of gasoline were leaked. The DENR also sent water samples collected from several creek branches for analysis, but results aren't expected until later this week or early next week.
"There is more to it than just the animals that you can see," McClintock said. "Healthy streams actually have little, tiny creatures that you can't see, and you almost need a microscope to see them. That is the chain of life. If those are damaged and are gone, as you go up higher in the food chain, the frogs and so on, there is nothing for them to eat."
McClintock said that trace amounts of the gasoline remain in the stream, and there is a visible sheen along the banks.
"It is just like gasoline or oil getting on something. You can see it on the plants or on the surface of the water. It just can be seen."
She said she hopes the Town of Chapel Hill will work on prevention efforts so something like this never happens again.
"To me, the most precious thing about the area that we live in is the vegetation, the wide diversity of wildlife, and plants that are really unusual. I really want to do everything that I can do protect it," McClintock said.
McClintock was on-scene Friday and watched as the Chapel Hill Fire Department and other local agencies responded to the leak, efforts which she and the EPA have praised.
Efforts are currently underway are to ensure that any remaining petroleum product is trapped and removed before moving farther downstream, according to a Town rep. The dams established along Crow Branch and Booker Creeks will remain until the Town receives the "all clear" call from the EPA and the DENR.
The Town is no longer managing the site.

Demi Lovato reveals secret half-sister
The Skyscraper hitmaker recently discovered her estranged dad welcomed a daughter over 10 years before marrying the pop star's mother.
The 20 year old, who already has two sisters, Dallas Lovato and child actress Madison de la Garza, announced the shocking news during an appearance on radio show Dana & Jeffrey in the Morning on Tuesday (05Mar13), but she declined to give the name of her new sibling.
She said, "I have an older sister that I've never known my whole life. She's in her 30s. She's my half-sister but I talked to her for the very first time in my life around when I turned 20. I asked her, I said 'Why haven't you ever contacted me?' and she just said, 'Well, because I never wanted you to think that I wanted anything from you... I've just been kinda of waiting to see if you wanted a relationship.'
"I just thought that was so incredible... I have a third sister that I didn't know until this (past) year."

Let what you read here sit with you for a while. Then I encourage you to do something to help make being gay a little easier for someone else. Often, all that's needed is an attitude shift.

Police shoot, kill gunman inside Milwaukee transit center
A man armed with a handgun was shot and killed by police Monday morning inside the Downtown Transit Center after he had attempted to rob a motorist at gunpoint, police said.
The 56-year-old driver was at E. Michigan St. and N. Lincoln Memorial Drive around 7 a.m. when the gunman aimed the handgun at the car and tried to open the locked passenger-side door, Police Chief Edward Flynn said at a news conference.
The driver sped away, at which point the gunman fired one shot at the car, Flynn said.
The driver called 911 when he had turned a corner and circled the block to see where the shooter was.
The driver was able to provide officers with a full suspect description.
Police found the suspect on the second floor of the empty transit center, sitting on a bench and holding a gun.
After they tried to negotiate with him, his behavior became threatening, and three officers fired at him, Flynn said. Attempts to revive the man failed, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver was not hurt, and the gunman and driver didn't know each other, Flynn said. The gunman has yet to be identified.
"There are many aspects of this investigation that still need to unfold as it's still in its early stages," Flynn said.
The transit center appeared to be empty of bystanders when the shooting occurred.
The Downtown Transit Center is primarily used as a layover location for bus routes that end at the eastern end of downtown, said Jackie Janz, speaking for the Milwaukee County Transit System.
The transit center provides a bus marshaling area, layover and facilities for several routes.
It also is the proposed site of The Couture, an apartment and hotel project.
The incident Monday morning forced the closing of streets in the area, including Michigan St. east of N. Van Buren St.
The Milwaukee County medical examiner's office responded.
Other agencies seen at the site of the shooting included the Milwaukee County sheriff's office, the Milwaukee County district attorney's office and the Milwaukee Police Association.
Flynn said the district attorney's office has begun an investigation, as has the Police Department's metro investigation section of the specialized investigation division.
The Fire and Police Commission and the mayor's office were notified of the officer-involved shooting.
As is standard department policy, the three officers — ages 35, 37 and 41 — involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation.
The three officers collectively have more than 40 years of experience with the department.

Vows for My Husband: College sweethearts Mario and Jason marry in New York
February 05, 2013
On Friday, June 24, 2011, Mario Pabón and Jason McAllister were sitting on their couch in the cozy New York City neighborhood of Astoria, Queens, trying hard to properly juggle two conflicting emotions. Earlier that evening, the New York State Senate voted to approve the freedom to marry, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo was preparing to sign the historic bill into law.
Mario and Jason were, naturally, thrilled: They had been together for nearly six years - and engaged for over four - and they knew that soon, they wanted to get married. They knew that the vote was a historic step forward for the marriage movement. They knew that thousands of loving, committed same-sex couples would now be able to share in the joys and security that the freedom to marry provides.
And yet, they were nervous - they had been telling their friends that they would get married when they could legally do so in New York, and as they toasted to the wonderful victory, they couldn't help but focus on one key fear: "How in the world are we going to pay for a wedding?"
Nearly a year and a half later, after their ceremony went off without a hitch - and under budget, to boot! - Mario and Jason realized they had nothing to worry about. Their friends and family pulled through, and they celebrated a beautiful wedding by committee. Jason's co-worker baked the wedding cake. A friend played the violin. Mario's cousin sang. Their friends, who had recently formed Merlardo Productions, Ltd, were enlisted as photographers. "Everyone who contributed just gave 110 percent to us," Jason said.
Mario and Jason understood that their wedding day wasn't about the floral arrangements or the seating charts or the dinner menu. Rather, it was a celebration of their seven years of commitment to each other; their wedding date, September 1, 2012, even marked the exact day of their seventh anniversary.
The couple met while studying at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, in the school's theatre arts program. Mario had just started his first year of study as an acting major, Jason was preparing for his final year studying playwriting, and the men had been paired together in the program's tradition of matching up freshmen and seniors. They had an instant connection and have been dating ever since. They stayed together when Jason graduated and moved to New York in May 2007, and even through a six-month period when Mario studied abroad in London without seeing Jason at all.
Jason and Mario have both noticed that their lives have changed since marrying. "Before, people treated us as two people who live together," Jason explained. "And now, people treat us as a married couple. We're officially recognized as being committed to each other in front of everyone we care about."
"For me, marriage has opened deeper levels in our relationship and expanded what we have," Mario added. "It's so much more than just a piece of paper. It's so much more than just a group of people saying, 'Yes, you're married.' It's a legal, spiritual contract with this person you love. It's everything we had hoped for."
Mario and Jason wrote their own vows for the ceremony in September - and here, Mario has shared his vows to Jason with Freedom to Marry.
Seven years ago today, we watched West Side Story, and I made fun of María because when Tony said "I love you," she just said "Yes" (pronounced "Jehs") - by far the worst response to "I love you" ever.
Not even three hours later, when I told you "I love you," you looked deep into my eyes and said "Jehs." I should have known back then I would never be bored being around you.
I grew up in a house where perfect love and perfect trust was what defined the relationship between my parents. They met in high school, and just a few weeks ago, they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. I saw such beauty in a relationship like the one my parents had. I thought that there could never be anything like their love.
Then you came into my life and changed everything. You showed me Love. You gave me Love. And seven years later, my heart still leaps when you walk into the room. I understand now that this is what my parents have.
So now, with this ring, I say: Do I promise to care for you, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse?
Do I promise to never abandon you, and keep you with me, in my heart and soul, for this life and as many lives as there might or might not be after this?
Do I promise to keep our love safe from all those who wish us harm? And do I promise to love and give you as much as you have loved and given me?
"Jehs." I do.

Tampa One of 18 Cities Selected to be Included in the USA's FIFA World Cup Bid
CHICAGO (Jan. 14, 2010) — The United States will face El Salvador on Feb. 24 in Tampa, Fla., in their second-to-last match before naming the roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Kickoff at Raymond James Stadium is set for 7 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN Classic and TeleFutura. Fans can also follow the match live online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker or twitter.com/ussoccer.

Visa will be the only payment method accepted through the Visa presale and is the preferred card of U.S. Soccer. Terms and conditions apply.
"El Salvador proved to be a strong team in the final round of qualifying, and will pose a good test for this group," said U.S. head coach Bob Bradley. "This game will be an important part of our preparations, providing us with one of the last opportunities to evaluate the players being considered for the World Cup roster. We are excited about the chance to return to Tampa, a community which has a long tradition of supporting soccer."
The United States is 14-1-5 all-time versus El Salvador, with 45 goals scored and 13 surrendered. The only loss came Feb. 19, 1992, in a friendly in San Salvador. The teams last met during the final round of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying, with Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore scoring to earn a 2-1 come-from-behind victory on Sept. 5, 2009, in Sandy, Utah. El Salvador was one of the surprise teams in the CONCACAF region during 2010 qualifying, making it to the final round for the first time in 12 years and beating both Mexico and Costa Rica in San Salvador in 2009.
Tampa, one of 18 cities that will be included in the USA's bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022 - will be hosting the U.S. team for the fifth time. In the last visit, Landon Donovan recorded the second hat trick of his career in front of a record-setting crowd for a friendly in the state of Florida as the U.S. cruised to a 3-1 victory on March 25, 2007, against Ecuador at Raymond James Stadium. The U.S. has a 2-1-1 record in Tampa, with the other win coming in 1990 against Finland.
Following the match against El Salvador, the U.S. will travel to face the third-ranked Netherlands on March 3 in Amsterdam. Kickoff at the Amsterdam ArenA is set for 8:30 p.m. local time (2:30 p.m. ET), and the match will be broadcast live on ESPN2 and TeleFutura. The match falls on the only international fixture date before the start of the tournament in South Africa, and will be the USA's final game before naming the World Cup roster in early May.

(Reuters) - In a scene that could open the film "Snakes on a Jet Ski," New Jersey animal control workers have set traps to snare a reported 20-foot-long serpent slithering through the waters of Lake Hopatcong.
Tales of the giant snake brought the state Department of Environmental Protection to the fresh water lake in northern New Jersey - the state's largest at 4 square miles (10 square km) - but the mystery has only deepened, DEP spokesman Bob Considine said on Monday.
"One person says it's a boa constrictor, another says it's an anaconda," Considine said. "We don't have any confirmation of this snake at all."
While a pet owner with a permit is allowed to keep a boa constrictor in New Jersey, anacondas are prohibited, Considine said.Initial reports of the creature surfaced more than a week ago when a resident of the lake popular with motor boat enthusiasts and jet skiers said he saw the snake under a dock at his boathouse.
Local animal control has been asked to report "any legitimate" sightings of the snake - which so far have amounted to zero, Considine said.

They are a beautiful bunch, aren't they? All dressed in blues, precariously balancing on every egg, hoping not to crack it, being so gentle even though sometimes she probably wants to just trample on them. It must have been a beautiful hair day! What shampoo and conditioner did you use? Heheheh! And sweet Elie behind her, gently following. Every girl walking on egg shells needs a gentle, smart, loving, kind, talented, eggspert eggwalker for a friend. Thank you! I love you. TSUP!!!

That's something to behold, Bella. A cautious elephant, gentle and blue tiptoeing through eggshells. Something we do every day, not always as eggspert as they are.

I am going to avoid making some silly yolk about eggs and instead say I adore this. I would love to see the 'after' image. Would it include a frying pan? Speaking of eggs, does your brain feel scrambled? V and I have been practicing our clog dancing routines. xox!

Eggshells, and bald men. What do they have in common? I bet you asked this question at least once a day on rising....
Well, she is so cute, even the elephant is cute, and the little splash of chick is better than a splatter of chick :)
Oh well I will be stertling off :)

Did you know?
- Golden lion tamarins usually give birth to twins.
- The females' milk is richer in protein and ash than other primate groups.
- Golden lion tamarins have claws instead of fingernails, a trait shared by all tamarins.
The golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) also known as golden marmoset, is a small new world monkey. Native to the Atlantic coastal forests of Brazil, the golden lion tamarin is an endangered species and among the rarest animals in the world.
Physical Description
- This tree-dwelling monkey has a small, rounded head surrounded by a thick, golden, lion-like mane that obscures its large ears.
- The body and tail are covered with long, silky hair, ranging in colour from pale blond to reddish gold.
- These animals have extremely long toes and fingers that end in claws.
Golden Lion Tamarin ConservationThe golden lion tamarin is listed as endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and IUCN.
Only about 800 are left in the wild, and about 30% of these were either relocated from depleted areas or released as part of a reintroduction programme. The primary threats to this species' survival are continued loss of forest habitat and population fragmentation due to agriculture and urban development. Several public and private reserves for lion tamarins have been established in Brazil in an effort to preserve this species.
There are already 2 biological reserves in the Northeast region of the State of Rio de Janeiro and the headquarters of the Golden Lion Tamarin Conservation Programme. The birth of the 1,000th animal, announced on April 2001, was a landmark for the Golden Lion Tamarin Programme, WWF's first project in Brazil, started in 1971.
Over 30 years, the number of animals in the wild grew from around 200 to 1,000. Today the golden lion tamarin is also a national symbol in Brazil, having been selected by the Central Bank to appear on the new 20 Reais note. The tamarin was chosen after a public vote suggested by WWF. The golden lion tamarin is still threatened and conservation efforts must continue. The tamarin has to double its population to leave the list of endangered species.

Every death is a tragedy, but AIDS particularly hits young adults – leaving families and communities destitute, as well as bereaved.
Effective anti-retroviral treatments means that a diagnosis as HIV positive is no longer the automatic life sentence it once was. But the drugs are expensive. 10m people lving with HIV and AIDS do not have access to the treatment they need.
HIV and AIDS are most likely to affect those who already experience discrimination and disadvantage, including women, sex workers, injecting drug users (IDUs) and sexuality minorities (Gay,Bisexual/Transgender). And people living with HIV and AIDS experience new forms of discrimination, such as travel restrictions, or social isolation.
ActionAid and HIV and AIDS
ActionAid has been working on HIV/AIDS since 1987, giving practical support to people living with the disease in 23 countries, as well as campaigning and lobbying rich governments and international institutions to make access to drugs, care and treatment fair and unbiased.
In our HIV and AIDS work we:
- Support and build organisations of people living with HIV, and groups most at risk.
- Call for the decriminalisation of HIV transmission
- Work against violence against women
- Promote quality health care
- Call for universal access to anti-retroviral treatments
ActionAid's STAR (Societies Tackling AIDS through Rights) is a methodology for mobilising communities to respond to the challenges of HIV and AIDS.
STAR is helping communities across countries to sensitise and address issues around gender inequalities and human rights of most marginalised communities and its linkages with HIV and AIDS, besides educating them on HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support services and programmes.

Canterbury Park Could Host Bull Run
SHAKOPEE (AP) - You might not have to travel to Pamplona, Spain if running with the bulls is your type of sport.
A promotional group is bringing the Great Bull Run to America at 10 locations over the next year. Organizers have a tentative date of May 14 at Canterbury Park horse race track in Shakopee. Mayor Brad Tabke says he would welcome the event if Canterbury officials determined it was OK.
Canterbury spokesman Jeff Maday says track officials will likely attend the first U.S. event in Virginia before signing a contract with bull run organizers.
Great Bull Run co-founder Rob Dickens says the bulls used in America won't be as aggressive as the animals in Spain. The company is already promoting the event and about 500 people have already registered online.

AHard Day in the Life of a Soft Cell
With every beat of the heart, inflation of the lung, or peristalsis of the gut, cell types of diverse function are subjected to substantial stretch. But what physical laws govern the abilities of the cytoskeleton to deform, contract, and remodel at the nanoscale? New data support the idea that the cytoskeleton is at once a crowded chemical space and a fragile soft material in which the effects of biochemistry, molecular crowding, and physical forces are complex and Inseparable, yet conspire nonetheless to yield remarkably simple phenomenological laws. These laws appear to be universal and thus comprise a striking intersection between the worlds of cell biology and soft matter physics

Daily Double
I'm back for an update and a question. First, an update on the Leapster2: thanks to all those who provided input/advice. In the end, I downloaded Rabbit River for Maddie and Chicken Coop for Riley, plus I purchased the "Kindergarten Readiness" cartridge for Riley and the "Pet Pals" cartridge for Maddie. Those were about the only games available that did not have a marketing tie-in of some kind: WTF??? Anyway. My issues with marketing tie-ins and marketing to kids in general shall be saved for another post. Ahem. So. The Leapsters have been wildly popular with both kids, and the solution to limiting access ended up resolving itself: they live in the car. Not only has it solved the Leapster access problem, but it has also made car rides with Maddie and Riley so much more pleasant. They have always been relatively awful car companions as they simply require so much physical movement and conversational engagement that we tend to be at each others' throats after trips of much more than 15 minutes in any kind of vehicle. Enter the Leapster: problem solved! They like helping each other out and playing each others' games, too, so those interactions have been positive as well.
Now the question. I never thought I'd *still* be writing about kids and sleep by the age of five, but here I am, wondering about kids and sleep. Maddie and Riley go to bed between 7:30 and 8 p.m. (Early, I know.) They sleep until 6 a.m., for an average of 10 hours of sleep per night, although often they don't go to sleep until later and/or they wake up earlier, so I think they actually sleep about 9 hours/night. Data points on other five year olds? M&R have been begging for naps during the day after two years of no napping, and while in theory I'm happy for them to nap, when they do, they are up awake (albeit in bed) until 10:30 or 11 p.m., then still up at 6 a.m., so that seems like a poor solution and will certainly not be ideal when they start full-day kindergarten in the fall. How much sleep are your five year olds getting, and between what hours?

I was so excited to see two (2!) Snickollet posts in my Reader! And I can totally answer your poll on 5-year-olds and sleep. My daughter turns five this week, and she sleeps about 10.5 - 11 hours a night, usually with no nap. Bedtime is 7:30, but she often doesn't fall asleep until 8:00 PM or later. She is usually awake when I go in to get her up at 7:00 AM. A couple days a week she has nap time, but rarely sleeps any more. And when she does, she can be awake at night until 10:00 PM.
Good luck in sorting through your sleep challenges.

I dont know about other five year olds but my son who will be six in December MUST sleep every day at nap time - he has a between six thirty and seven bedtime with his three year old sister who will be five. He does wake up at 5, sometimes 6 but that depends on how he went to sleep and what type of sleep he had - more often than not if he didnt sleep during the day he will wake up the next day earlier than usual which is weird. I think we have been really strict with bedtime and even when they say they arnt tired they still go to bed no later than 7.30 - even on weekends. I think the sleep issue is directly related to how his day goes and how physical or mentally challenging it was. Not sure what you should do but I find if I keep him awake when he has asked to sleep during the day or is showing signs of needing a nap then I pay dearly for it that afternoon and evening often struggling to settle him at bedtime. Maybe you should try timed naps? so a short power nap instead of just leaving them - this doesn't work for us but Normally our son only needs about 30 min to 45 minutes sometimes as late as 14.00 in the afternoon his sister will sleep for much longer and if you wake her she is miserable. Good luck!!! cant wait to read more snickollet!!!

My data points on my 5 1/4 year old daughter: She sleeps almost exactly the same as M and R. Bedtime at 7:30, asleep between 7:45 and 8:00. Sleeps til around 6 am (6:20 is a treat for us!).
She however doesn't nap. At all. She's always been somewhat on the low side of the sleep needs average per age, so this is consistent.
- 03:23
- Snoopyfan said...
My 5 yr old has recently completely given up his afternoon nap, although a rest time of 45 minutes is imposed. If he falls asleep during rest time, I wake him after the 45 minutes is up or he will not go to bed on time and I need him in bed on time. Bedtime is between 7:15 and 7:30 and he usually falls asleep right away. Wake up time is 7 and he is often awake before that (between 6:30 and 7) but stays in his room until 7.
- 05:32
- mek said...
The stats on my 5 yo: most nights she goes to bed about 8, asleep between 8 and 9, and wakes up around 7:30, more or less. If she is in one of her mini growth spurts, she asks to go to bed around 7 and gets up around 8. She doesn't really nap - at daycare she might for about 30 minutes but more often she "rests".
But, I should also tell you that these are our melatonin stats. Without melatonin, she would go to bed around 10pm or 11 and sleep until 8am - with a nap from 3-4pm. Sadly, this natural schedule is completely incompatible with the demands of our everyday lives!
- 05:32
- Lyndsay said...
My daughter is 6, but her sleep schedule has been pretty consistent for the past couple of years:
bedtime is 8:00, she's usually asleep by 8:30.
if I don't have to wake her up earlier for school or camp, she will wake herself up between 7:30-8 am.
So about 11 hours.
(Love the Leapster idea... will have to keep that in mind!)

- Polly and Fiona said...
My daughter is almost 5 and for the last year has been in an awful habit of 7:00 AM wakeup (I wake her up for school), no nap during pre/school and aftercare and falling asleep from 5-6 pm on our way home in the car! Then she often can't fall asleep until 9:30, even though I put her to bed at 8. Seems that there is quite a long of phase at this age where their body wants a nap but then they can't sleep later if they get one. Interesting to read all the comments!

- michaela said...
Ooh, I am taking a 400-mile (one way) drive with my little 5 next week, and will ponder the Leapster...
As for sleep: We generally finish reading by 7:30 and she's asleep shortly thereafter- within 5 minutes, usually. I'm actually not sure what time she wakes up, because we have a rule that she can't come out of her bedroom until 7a. I know when I walked by at 6:45 this morning she was still asleep - and she often comes downstairs at just a couple minutes after 7. So 11 or 11.5 hours, I guess, with no nap ever.
- 06:38
- Becky said...
My 5 year old...I find it a struggle to stick to an early bed time during summer so lately he's been up until between 8:30 and 9. He usually sleeps until 6:30 or 7. At daycare I've been told he usually naps on Mondays but the rest of the week he just rests. On the weekends we base naps on behavior. If he is being pleasant and listening well he can skip his nap, if he's a bear then he definitely has to nap or at least lay down and give us a break :).
- 06:58
I avoid the nap with my 5 year old. She sleeps pretty consistently between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. but will shift a little earlier or much, much later if necessary to accommodate vacations, seasonal changes, etc. The bane of my existence is the unplanned car nap.. completely throws us off schedule that night. I'm surprised (perhaps I should be?) to see so much variation in this age group among commenters. Good question, snick.
- 08:06
My 5 year old goes to bed around 7:30 (usually asleep by 8) and sleeps until about 6:30 in the morning. Up until the end of the school year, we were needing to get him up about 6 M-F and he was getting a nap (1 1/2 hours) probably 2-3 days a week. We gave up the nap because the days he napped, he would be awake so let I started feeling like the net effect was actually less sleep.
That said, it's nice to have the nap in the bag of tricks, because now we can go do something late into the evening and he can make it up with a nap the next day (or if I'm very lucky, I can get a nap ahead of time and then he's not even overtired during our evening activity).
We still do Quiet Time at our house, because my little guy is a serious introvert and does much better if he gets a break during the day where he can just be alone with his cars. :)

My daughter will be 6 in October. Her bedtime is 8 but usually between 7:30 and 8:45 (more on the 8;30 side than the 7:30 side). She typically wakes up at 7ish so 11ish hours of sleep. We are a family that needs a lot of sleep. She rarely naps but if she does it means a later bedtime.
- 09:16
- Nicole said...
My 5.5yr old goes to bed at 7pm, to read stories and pray, then lights out at 7.30pm. I don't know what time she actually falls asleep, because I make a point of not going near her room as then she will look for excuses to call me in and chat. I guess it must be before 8pm though. She usually sleeps till between 6.30-7.30am, depending on how tired she was from the day before. She doesn't nap at all, or rest on her bed, except for MAYBE on a Sunday when we have a nap while our son naps.
- 09:35
So very nice to have you back! That's all I have because I sure don't know about the sleeping habits of the 5 year old set.
- 10:39
- Eva said...
My kids will be 5 in a few weeks. We are generally lights out/parents gone by 9:00, and they wake up around 7:30. With talking to each other etc., that's probably 10 hours per night. But on days they nap (at school) bedtime can be horrendous. Even a 1 hour nap can lead to being up until 11:00 PM and then crabby the next day, a bad cycle. Sometimes when they don't nap consecutive days they fall asleep in the car, or wrapped in a towel after bath. But I totally hear your pain on craziness at bedtime. Last night after an hour of talking in bed when I asked them to be quiet, they replied "okay, we'll talk more quietly."

My son is 5.5 years old and gets about 11 hours of sleep a night (no nap). He goes to sleep between 8 and 8:30 (would be better to be closer to 8, but sometimes life makes it hard to stick to that!) and wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30am. He is sometimes tired in the late afternoon but will not fall asleep unless we are in the car for a long drive. I actually like his sleep schedule...when he still napped, he would get up much earlier! =0)
My two year old has a totally different schedule so we'll see what happens with him. He takes one (long) nap, which I hope will continue for at least another year!!

p.s. in college I wrote a paper about the effects of advertising on young children, and lots of it was related to how they process seeing "characters" in ads. So interesting. Too bad no computer will read my old disks and I can't find a hard copy anywhere. It lives in my head, I guess. Sigh.

I think you know this, but our 4.5 year old goes to sleep at 7 pm and wakes up at 5:30 or 6 am, with no naps. When he does nap, bedtime becomes a nightmare! And, like you said, when he goes to bed later, he either gets up at the same time or earlier, which makes no one happy. Good luck!

My five year old boys are a bit odd in that they are asleep by 7:30, awake between 6 and 7 and they still nap for 2 to 3 hours. We are now able to push them with out naps but that usually pushes bedtime up to 5:30 or 6

Saw your comment on Moxie, realized I hadn't been by in a long time, thought I'd pop over -- five, wow!
Not sure if it's at all helpful to have information about a 4-year old but we are totally there with you. Often my son goes to sleep around 9 (late I know, but we are night people and this works for us) and then is typically up around 7:30. At 3, by mutual consent, we gave up the naps ... I so missed them, but it was afternoon nap + 11 p.m. nighttime sleep or no nap and a reasonable bedtime. So. But now unfortunately we're back to the napping -- sometimes, and when it happens, it's awful. I mean the nap is great, but the aftermath. Yesterday he napped and then he finally fell asleep around midnight in a "sleeping bag" he'd made for himself on the floor of his room (I left him there, and he slept fine). Argh!
I don't know the solution. If he's e.g. falling asleep on a car ride and it's almost over I can sometimes keep him awake, or if he does sleep, he doesn't sleep so well in the car so it's not a total disaster. But I home ... even if I could justify telling a sleepy preschooler he can't rest (and really, what mom complains that her kid, instead of being a total grouch/disaster says, "Mama I need a nap" and goes to sleep? This mom, that's who. But only on the internet.), he'll sometimes just slip off and fall asleep without telling me. The only "solution" I've found is to wake him up after about an hour, which is itself unpleasant (otherwise he'll sleep for 2, and he's not used to being woken, we usually just allow him to wake up on his own schedule), but does reduce the nighttime disasters.
Oh, and for the record he was cute as heck last night ... he had found a stash of hand-me-down shoes I have stored for him and was trying them all on and pointing out the differences between them and raving about how wonderful they all are and how lucky he is to have so many pairs of shoes. It was utterly delightful, it's not that he's a pain ... it's just that OMG I needed some quiet time!

my five (nearly six) yr old goes to bed at 7:30, is asleep by 8 (or 7:35 if its been an active day), and gets up around 5:45 am. He doesn't nap, although if you put him in a car or let him watch tv between 4 and 5 he will fall asleep. I try not to do that, because when that happens he's up till 10 pm.

My oldest just turned 6 in May, In the winter bed time is usually a little bit earlier than in the summer. Right now she goes to bed around 8:30ish and gets up around 7ish. After a long weekend she will sleep in. She does take naps at daycare but not every day. My 3 year old has the same sleep schedule as well. It seems as if my 6 year old needs more sleep than my 3 year old.

My 5yo naps on MWF at preschool, but not on the other 4 days when he's home. He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:30 (earlier in winter, later in summer) and is up early, between 5:45 and 6.
I think he's naturally a morning person. He goes to sleep without a fuss, and he wakes up in a great mood (unlike his 3yo sister). His afternoon/evening moods don't seem to vary much whether he's had a nap or not.

10 is a great night for us. I'd say it's the average but not every night.
Have you looked at Creature Create for the Leapster? Pretty sure it doesn't have a marketing tie-in, though I could be wrong.

I have an 8 year old. He goes to bed at 8, usually falls asleep within a few minutes and sleeps a solid 11 hours. If he stays up later, he sleeps later. Always 11 hours.

At five, my daughter went to bed at eight-thirty and got up around six-thirty or seven, so somewhere in the 10-hour range.
I do remember her being super exhausted for the first few weeks of kindergarten, even though she wasn't getting up any earlier--however, she hadn't gone to preschool or daycare, so it was a big leap from hanging out at home with Daddy all day to spending six hours in class with 19 other kids.

Oh, and daughter stopped napping altogether before she turned 3, but for at least a year after that, we had to stay out of the car in the late afternoon, or else she'd fall asleep and then be up until midnight, which was no good for anyone.

My guys are 4.5, so not sure how helpful it is---we do a 7pm bedtime and they are asleep within about 10 minutes---then they are up between 6:15am and 7am, but can't come out of their rooms until 7am. They haven't napped regularly since Sept/Dec but do on occasion---and then my daughter will be up until 9pm or so in her room.
