I know, though after I posted this I groaned (or my mind groaned) over the gender stereotypes in that pome. Thunk thunk thunk ...
Although, one reason I enjoyed it was because I knew a woman a lot like that. Tall, elegant, like a force of nature (an archetype), and thoughts full of bubblegum.
"Storm" is a lovely name. Although I wonder if someone who calls themselves "Storm" knows what kind of Storm they are? Are they a snowstorm, a hailstorm, a windstorm? A thunder Storm???
When the poem said Storm was a Sagittarian I decided to read it all.
Beware of Sags; even when science educated, we sometimes get excited, wave our arms, and knock over the catsup.
Two pomes I like. Heck, I wrote them.
1. A cinquain form invented by American poet Adelaide Crapsey:
"I think
Therefore I am,"
Said the Philosopher.
"Bunk! He didn't feel. He only
Half was."
2. Having half-wrecked the Western intellectual tradition, I'll take on our language - in haiku form.
English, our language
Has two excellent uses:
Poetry and fraud.
"I think
Therefore I am,"
Said the Philosopher.
"Bunk! He didn't feel. He only
Half was."
Love it!
English, our language
Has two excellent uses:
Poetry and fraud.
The missionary Daniel Everett went to the Amazon to convert a remote tribe to Christianity, and he was instead deconverted to atheism :)
Apparently their language and thinking was very literal and concepts like talking to dead people didn't make sense to them. You talk to Jesus? But he's dead! I don't remember the details, but I was wondering about how much language constructs consciousness. He wrote a book Don't Sleep, there are Snakes about it.
I recently found a poem of mine that I'd lost. It's not particularly about atheism, but here it is since it seems true to me:
Penny, bright fay of Somerset
spread her wings like a butterfly
Winging twixt heaven and hell
Visiting with many colors the flowers
(rivers, souls and lives)
of the earth where in dark wonder
heaven's mixt with hell.
She was someone I was corresponding with online, and she'd called me "Princess of Ithaca", I suppose because there's a "Prince of Ithaca" in Troilus and Cressida. So I wrote a poem to her calling her the "bright fay of Somerset". I thought I'd accidentally thrown the poem away and I was so glad to find it again.
Daniel Everett's book has a dramatic statement about the Piraha tribe's language & its influence on their thinking. And one wonders reading it whether language creates certain kinds of abstractions, like reifying Goodness or Time into a being called God; and perhaps excludes other abstractions like ordering ratios between quantities by putting them on a line.
I was wondering about it because of the statement in another discussion that people weren't skeptical before a certain time. Such ideas are interesting but hard to prove. Especially when people were burned alive for certain ideas, it's hard to know if people didn't even think certain things, or they just kept their thoughts to themselves. So I was wondering about how much language influences thoughts, or terrorizing repression by the state or church influences thoughts. Free speech is important partly because if people can't speak certain things, they may not even think them.
And is there an analog to this in the right that - according to me at least - people have over their own bodies, that if you can't control what goes on with your own body and what you put into it, that it takes away ... ? A sense of self perhaps?
In George Orwell's 1984, there's a dictatorship that seeks to take away the freedom even to think "politically incorrect" things, like criticism of the state, by changing the language and simplifying and limiting it, as well as a lot of intimidation. They seek to stay in power forever by doing this. So one wonders whether this could actually work.
English is supposed to be a very rich language, I've heard - concepts from many different cultures. One theory was that the Pirahas were culturally traumatized because too much change happened too fast, so that robbed them of abstractions.
Maybe I'm just no good at navigating forums but I could not find the poem's author listed anywhere. It's by Tim Minchin. He is an absolute genius. And that is not a term I use casually. If you like this, look for him on youtube. You will be blown away. Look for "The pope song" or "the good book". Much harder to find (because he is currently touring with it and it keeps getting taken down) is "thank you god", possible the greatest song I've ever heard. In fact I was just listening to it again today. Cheers, all!

We'll be back in San Francisco on Monday. Hope you all have a great weekend, and we'll see you soon!
|"The Awakening" by J. Seward Johnson
hi chef. Welcome to DC. Great weather this weekend, so I hope you have a wonderful time. I live in DC but I will fight the urge to come and thank you in person for all the wonderful dishes and techniques you have taught me :-) . Have a ball in DC.
Thanks! :-)
Welcome to the east coast!
Hey Chef! I also resisted the urge to come stalk you. Er, I mean thank you in person....
I've been waiting for a slow comments day to ask you a really stupid question, and hopefully no one will notice. What do you use to clean your SS pans? I scrub and scrub, but over time they always develop that brown, burned on nastiness, especially outside and around the rivets. I don't want to scotch brite them because that scratches them up....is there a secret, or some advice? Your pans always look new. Thanks from Seth in DC!
Wow....Im 5 minutes away...how cool is that....hope you enjoy your stay...now I'm off to check your site for fajita recipea....
Welcome indeed! While you're in town, get some harissa from whole foods, marketed by Cava, and deconstruct the recipe for us. Please! And congratulations to your niece on her wedding. My niece is also named Brittany.
Hi Chef! Nice to see you come to my neck of the woods for a change. Enjoy your time here! Hope to hear from you soon.
Oh man! I was at my niece Brandy's wedding at the Maryland Yacht Club just south of you on the water!
Thanks everyone! We had a great time, but just wedding stuff. Will have to come back for the sightseeing!

Yankees Place Masahiro Tanaka on DL With Elbow Inflammation
Masahiro Tanaka was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, perhaps the biggest blow yet to the New York Yankees' battered rotation.
The rookie sensation from Japan is sidelined with inflammation in his right elbow. He had an MRI in New York and then was headed to Seattle to be examined by Dr. Christopher Ahmad, the team's head physician. Ahmad is in Seattle for a conference.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi acknowledged he's concerned about Tanaka's prognosis.
"You're always worried when you have a guy go back for an elbow MRI," he said. "It would be a big loss. Anytime you lose a starting pitcher, they're hard to replace. And what he's done for us, the innings and the wins and the quality of starts, it's hard to replace."
The Yankees, who have also lost pitchers CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda and Ivan Nova to injuries, are 46-44 and trail first-place Baltimore by three games in the AL East.
Tanaka allowed five runs and 10 hits — both career highs — over 6 2-3 innings in a 5-3 loss to the Indians on Tuesday night. The All-Star is 12-4 with a 2.51 ERA in 18 starts, but has lost three of his past four outings.
"It goes without saying how important he's been for us," Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said. "He's been our go-to guy."
The Yankees signed the 25-year-old Tanaka to a $155 million, seven-year contract in January after he had a standout career in Japan. New York also paid $20 million to his Japanese team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles, for his rights.
Tanaka began the season 11-1 with a 1.99 ERA, but hasn't been as effective in his past four starts, going 1-3 with a 4.25 ERA.
He's allowed eight home runs in his last five games, including two on Tuesday, a two-run shot in the sixth by Nick Swisher that put Cleveland ahead and a solo drive by Michael Brantley in the seventh.
Girardi didn't notice any sign that something was bothering Tanaka during the game.
"There wasn't anything that led us to believe there was anything wrong," Girardi said. "He told the trainers that he just felt some soreness, so we felt it was best to send him back and have an MRI. It's the first time he's complained (of it)."
Tanaka's past two starts came on four days' rest, the regular amount for major league pitchers. He pitched once a week in Japan.
Tanaka has anchored a shaky Yankees rotation. Sabathia might need season-ending knee surgery, and Nova had Tommy John surgery and won't pitch again until next season.
The Yankees are 13-5 in games Tanaka has started. He has recorded 135 strikeouts and walked 19 in 129 1-3 innings. The right-hander has allowed 111 hits and opponents are batting .231 against him. He has given up 15 home runs.
"You just hope and pray that we get good news and it's something minor," outfielder Brett Gardner said. "I worry about anybody, but he's pretty special."
Tanaka was scheduled to start Sunday against Baltimore, the final game before the All-Star break. Girardi said no decision has been made on who will take Tanaka's spot.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has introduced an expanded version of its Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP), making it easier for more motor carrier companies, with the driver's consent, to access PSP records. A PSP record includes three years of crash history and five years of roadside inspection history for a commercial driver. PSP is now available to eligible intrastate motor carriers and companies directly involved in the pre-employment screening and hiring of commercial drivers. The program expansion means important driver safety data is now more easily available to companies that are responsible for hiring the drivers that get behind the wheel of many large trucks and buses. FMCSA has also launched an iPhone application for PSP. Account holders can now securely access a PSP dashboard on an iPhone or iPad, and easily review a PSP record in a mobile-friendly format. The application is available for free download by searching 'DOT PSP' in the Apple iTunes store. For details on the Pre-Employment Screening Program visit http://www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov. Contact Matthew Chambers: (202) 366-9999.

We get "humanizing" questions. We get "human interest" questions. But then there are insulting questions that we can't imagine Piers would direct at, say, Warren Christopher. Questions like, "are you high-maintenance?"
We're assuming Morgan does, at some point, delve into the Iraq War, the foibles of the Bush administration, Rice's distinguished academic career and her current occupations. But what we know for a fact is that he addresses the following burning issues — while smirking, naturally:
"I can't imagine you being a subservient wife,"
"If you were cooking me a meal, what would you cook?"
"Are you romantic?"
And, the creepy coupe de grace, "If I was going to woo you, how would I do that?"
What, nothing about shoes? I mean, you can't squander these opportunities! Oh, and Piers: find out where your guests live before you interview them.

Toronto's Encarnacion slams Orioles
Toronto, ON – Edwin Encarnacion's fifth career grand slam helped the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles, 12-6, in the opener of a four-game series.
J.P. Arencibia added a two-run homer and four RBI for the Blue Jays, who have won three of four. Emilio Bonifacio, Brett Lawrie and Colby Rasmus each knocked in a run.
Toronto starter Brandon Morrow (2-3) allowed six runs on 10 hits while striking out five over seven-plus innings.
Manny Machado hit three doubles and knocked in two runs for the Orioles, who had a two-game winning streak snapped. Adam Jones, Nick Markakis and Chris Davis all hit solo homers.
Baltimore starter Kevin Gausman (0-1), making his MLB debut, gave up four runs on seven hits while striking out five over five innings. Gausman, the fourth overall pick in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, went 2-4 with a 3.11 ERA in eight starts with Double-A Bowie this season.
The Orioles scored a pair of runs in the third inning. Chris Dickerson and Nate McLouth each singled before pulling off a double steal. Machado followed with a two-run double to left.
Davis' league-leading 15th homer in the fourth gave Baltimore a 3-0 edge.
Toronto responded with eight unanswered runs, starting with a pair of runs in the bottom half of the fourth. Adam Lind led off with a double to right and raced home on Arencibia's double to left. Lawrie reached base on a bunt single and Rasmus walked to load the bases with no outs. Bonifacio's sacrifice fly gave the Blue Jays a 4-3 lead. Gausman retired the next two batters to prevent further damage.
Gausman, though, gave up a homer to Arencibia in the fifth. Lind hit a two-out single and scored on Arencibia's homer to left.
The Blue Jays broke things open in the sixth on Encarnacion's grand slam. Troy Patton issued consecutive two-out walks to Munenori Kawasaki and Melky Cabrera. Pedro Strop came in from the bullpen and walked Jose Bautista to load the bases. Encarnacion stepped to the plate and smacked Strop's offering off the left-field foul pole, making it an 8-3 contest.
The Orioles got one run back in the seventh. J.J. Hardy hit a ground-rule doubled to left, moved to third when Dickerson flied out and scored on Alexi Casilla's sacrifice fly.
Markakis and Jones hit back-to-back homers in the eighth to cut the gap to 8-6.
The Blue Jays, though, created some distance again by scoring four runs in the bottom half. Anthony Gose led off with a single and moved to second when Bautista reached first on shortstop Hardy's fielding error. With Encarnacion batting, the ball got past Matt Wieters. The Baltimore catcher picked up the ball and fired to second, which allowed Gose to try for home. Gose just beat the tag at the plate.
Encarnacion and pinch-hitter Mark DeRosa walked to load the bases with no outs. Toronto then scored three more runs on Arencibia's groundout, Lawrie's base hit and Rasmus' sacrifice fly.
Game Notes
Prior to Thursday's game, the Orioles selected the contract of Gausman from Bowie, optioned pitcher Jake Arrieta to Triple-A Norfolk and designated pitcher Alex Burnett for assignment ... Morrow improved to 4-3 lifetime against Baltimore ... Orioles manager Buck Showalter turned 57 on Thursday ... Gausman is the 11th different pitcher to start for Baltimore this year ... The Blue Jays announced Thursday that prospect Sean Nolin will start for the club Friday against the Orioles.

This "exclusive" photo was featured in today's New York Daily News on page 2 above the Mike Lupica column. Unfortunately, you can no longer find it online because A-Rod's people complained about it.
The photo, taken by DN staff photog Andrew Theodorakis, was shot before the A-Rod/Gammons ESPN interview at Rodriguez's home in Florida. Theodorakis was just doing his job, apparently, but Rodriguez felt a little aggravated by the photographer's presence and felt his privacy was invaded (again?), so when the photo popped up in the paper this morning, he quickly summoned one of his minions to complain about it.
Who knows if Theodorakis had barged into Rodriguez's house unwelcome or not, but it's a pretty innocuous photo. And given the mighty shitstorm Rodriguez is currently battling, it says a lot about the childish, cloistered world his sun-fried brain currently operates in. Well, I guess he won this battle, since the DN decided to pull the photo from their site. Hooray, Alex.

Hey People...
Been gone awhile doing this that and the other thing and am finally back. Everything that happens and effects Wetworks you will read about here. Alot has been happening, mostly work on Batman, but what had me off kilter for the last month was my diabetes. After three years of good regular blood sugar controls my pancreas is failing, meaning it is not producing the correct amount of insulin. In fact less and less. So for the past few weeks I have been on insulin injections to keep my sugar levels continuously even as possible. The reason I am telling you all about this is that what it means is when my sugars are out of control I can't concentrate and can't work. When my sugars are good little buggers I can concentrate evenly and work my butt off. It also means that if you see me at a convention I will be taking strict meal breaks every four hours. So I ask you all out there for patience while I try to adjust my life to the inevitable ups and downs of my condition.
Personally it's kinda disappointing to have to be taking insulin injections. I have been trying so hard since my diabetic coma in the summer of 2000 to keep my sugar levels normal, but my Doc says no matter what I do my pancreas failing was an inevitability. It was just a matter of time.
This isn't the end-all there are many, many other diabetics worst off than I. I've had relatively an easy time with my diabete's. For that I thank GOD. I've got many, many, many years of productive art ahead of me. It's just a matter of adjusting my life style to fit my condition. As simple as that. It has taken me all these years since 2000 to retrain my artistic brain to draw again. All this time to recalibrate my artist eye to see the world as I use to see it. My hand to reliably follow the minute, subtle commands my brain gives it artistically.
You can't understand what my mind went thru that one day before August of 2000 I could draw with the ease that a lifetime of art training had given me and then in one day to wake up after losing one week in my life and all of a sudden thirty pounds lighter, not being able to walk, in fact barely being able to stand, but most important not being able to draw anymore. My mind could see what I wanted to draw but my hand couldn't accomplish it. It was six months before I could pick up a pencil again and draw SOMETHING, anything. It was a year later before I could draw somewhat like I use to. My biggest problem being not being able to "see" with my eye whether things like eyes and ears were aligned or even the same size. Sometimes I couldn't even see if what I had drawn was any good at all. In 2002 to 2004 I had thought I had it back and as you could see by the uneven quality of some of my work then like StormWatch. I was still being effected by my diabetes.
The last two years are joyous ones for me because my condition was under control most of the time and I was able to draw six issues of Wetworks and four issues of Batman with the style and quality very reminiscent of my old style.
Now is another time of adjusting for me but thankfully I can still draw. I am feeling great especially because now and for the last two years I can draw anything I want to...again. Wait til you see what I have in store for our guys and gals in gold. I've got so much planned for them. I am thrilled by the response so far to the storyline and can't wait til you see what's to come...
Attached is the cover to WW's #6 my fave cover so far of the new series...

Hey Whilce,
Been living with Diabetes about the same time you have since Spring of '99 and I remember how hard it was to regulate it and get back to the game. Dropped out of college, left friends, family. Man was I irraitable. I just wanted to say I am glad your back in the game. Always love watching you go at the books with full steam.
Keep at it. Just wanted to let you know you got fans who stick behind you.
PS BATMAN Confidential is SICK!!! love it. Cant wait.
PPS Your a sick man (its a good thing) for taking on two books that have nothing to do with each other. GO GET'EM!!

Thank you all for the kind words. I reveal my condition at this time not for the sympathy tho" I and my wife are touched by your sentiments, in the past I have chosen to let "situations" in my past go unanswered by me because I am at heart a private man and like to deal with my problems privately. Being self-confident within myself and always having complete trust with my family and inner circle of friends never dwelt on negative thoughts from those who didn't know me...but there gets a point where (with three children now) you worry about how unfiltered outside views might affect them. You work hard as a parent to guide them with your views and morals and ideals but being children and having minds that can be easily molded it can worry any parent what can one day effect them...so in short ergo this blog so that there is at least one form of record that can be accessed that contains my viewpoints right or wrong...but mine alone...one record that can put my career in the contexts that I lived it in...

I hear you...let me tell you one day I go into a coma, spend a week in that darkness, go thru dialysis three times, stop beathing once, then live the next six months barely being able to stand and take care of myself...my wife in all that time (with our child being born the week before my coma)at my side doing everything I can't do for myself (you apparently know the drill).
All this time my wife quietly by my side...that's love, like your love for your family. There's nothing in this world will separate my heart from my wife. There's nothing that can prove to me more that she will always be by my side than what she did for me in the year 2000.
The kind of love you are showing during hard times like these for your family go unheralded because they are hard times and everybody in the family is deep in that darkness but believe me the love you shower upon your family does not go unoticed. Some one notices these things. Someone does. And more important you know what you have done and what you are doing...what you do for others is like a shield of honor that you can hold in front of anyone, anyone that you are indeed the person that you know you are...thru your post I notice what you are, who you are...

Hey you know what gets me the most? It's the lack of stamina and concentration you go thru. Thankfully I have some of it all back but still especially in the beginning it was just madness to going thru the whole day tired. Or even more maddening to go thru part of the day okay but then in a split second losing all energy and having to go to sleep and then wake up having lost the rest of the day.
You'll understand the implications of this next statement...believe it or not I went into a coma and was admitted to Sharps Hospital in San Diego with a blood sugar of 1600bs. I made the record books. With that sugar level and the way your body fluids want to leave your body at that point I guess that's why I woke up having lost thirty pounds in that one week. Ask Scott Williams or Jim Lee at a convention to describe what I looked like in Intensive care...they told me I looked like I had been floating in the river for ten days.
These days its easier to deal with but as I learned a few weeks ago by having to suddenly go on insulin injections there are still surprises, surprises you can only deal with...
- 11:04 PM, December 10, 2006
Stay strong, sir and continue to blow us away with your awesome artwork!
Just know that I think of you everytime I draw, every line and every muscle reminds me of you and how you nurtured us back in the day!
I'm so glad you are better now and it shows in your art! you are back in business! Tho the funny thing is that I ate up your Stormwatch like a rabid fan despite being your first work after your coma. I thought your genius still showed thru.
Take it easy and see you soon in SD! Ate Jo is great!

Whilce, from a lifetime brazilian fan of your work: everytime I got very upset, tired or just sad with anything, I always kept reminding myself: "damn, gotta survive this, because, one day, Whilce gonna be back with another awesome art!"
Keep the good fight, sir, your family and your loyal fans around the world will always be grateful, for sure.

Expanding the world's largest network of wildlife refuges into San Joaquin County would attract rare and beautiful migratory birds, open up new boating and fishing opportunities, and reduce flood risk in urban areas, federal officials say in a new report.
Expanding the world's largest network of wildlife refuges into San Joaquin County would attract rare and beautiful migratory birds, open up new boating and fishing opportunities, and reduce flood risk in urban areas, federal officials say in a new report.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says enlarging the San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge is a "unique" opportunity to restore a major corridor of wildlife habitat along the second largest stream in California, and triple the number of refuge visitors in the process.
Its plan, however, has already faced criticism here. San Joaquin County supervisors voted last year to oppose the expansion before it had been formally proposed.
Now that proposal is on the streets, and the executive director of the San Joaquin Farm Bureau Federation said the federal government does not appear to have addressed local officials' concerns.
"You would think they would listen to county supervisors, but they didn't," bureau director Bruce Blodgett said. "It's obvious the public input process isn't what it used to be."
Ninety-five percent of the jungle-like forests that once buffered Central Valley streams have been lost to urban and agricultural development. The remaining patches of forest are small, spread out and vulnerable.
The existing San Joaquin River refuge west of Modesto was established in 1987 and became instrumental in the recovery of the once-threatened Aleutian cackling goose.
The plan is to expand that refuge both to the north and to the south, enlarging it from 12,887 acres to 35,043 acres.
While Fish and Wildlife originally studied expanding the refuge north past Interstate 5 to Lathrop, the formal proposal excludes that northernmost urban section. Instead, the refuge would terminate just south of Mossdale, though it will also include Paradise Cut, which flows to the Delta.
The government would buy land from willing sellers over a period of many years, slowly restoring it to a natural state.
It could take almost half a century, the proposal said, to acquire just half of the land within the refuge boundaries. Some of it may never be sold.
Landowners will have no obligation even to talk with Fish and Wildlife, the proposal said.
But Blodgett argues the mere presence of the federal government will "cast a cloud" over property values. Depending on how many landowners agree to sell, crops would be taken out of production and local property tax revenue would be lost.
And this could be just the beginning, he warned.
"Just look at their past history," he said. "In five or 10 years they're looking to expand again. The last thing we need is them trying to build a bigger empire in San Joaquin County, because that's all they're doing. It's all they know: expansion and acquisition."
Crops within the expansion area are worth about $24.5 million a year, less than 1 percent of the total agricultural output of the three counties affected - San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Merced, the plan said.
San Joaquin alone would stand to lose almost $400,000 a year in property tax. Federal law allows for some compensation, but that money often falls short, the government acknowledges.
On the other hand, thousands of new refuge visitors patronize local businesses, and more workers would be needed to replant the forests and maintain them, the plan said.
It concludes that the economic effects of the expansion are "complex and speculative."
There is more than economics at stake, however. Fish and Wildlife says a larger refuge could help prevent devastating downstream floods by allowing the San Joaquin to spread out over riparian flood plains.
As far as public use, future plans call for new facilities including a boat launch, as well as a recreational hunting program, though these opportunities will be "limited" because of all the nearby farmland.
Expanding the refuge could bring back endangered least Bell's vireos, a popular songbird that briefly returned to the San Joaquin River in 2005 after a 50-year absence in the Valley.
But it's not just birds that will benefit. Trees will cool the water for steelhead and salmon. And the river refuge is home to the world's largest population of riparian brush rabbits - the county's cuddliest wild animal - as well as rare woodrats that live in communities of "houses" built of sticks and bark.
Stockton conservationist Jeremy Terhune, head of the group Friends of the Lower Calaveras River, said he feels the good of the project outweighs any perceived bad. Now, with the proposal in hand, is the time to discuss expanding the refuge, he said.
"It means jobs," Terhune said. "It means outdoor recreational opportunities. It means habitat for birds, which are having a hard enough time as it is. Everybody benefits."

I think you mean VStream? I have one I use in super cold weather. Easy install. Remove "W" cover by removing 2 hex screws. Remove 7(I think?)nylon screws and install new shield. Reverse process to button it up. Don't over tighten screws! Snug is good.

Things are slowly but surely getting ready for the move. Things have been packed, sold, donated and tossed. It's starting to look good!
I have now packed away most of my nail things, including my acrylic paints etc. I have a few polishes and stamps left out, and I will really try to do at least a couple of manicures per week for the next month.
I really want to thank all of you who are still believing in me and staying subscribed :) Thank you!
For this simple little mani I used one of my favourite pinks, it's that pretty Panda-monium Pink dupe from 17 that sadly I don't have the name for. The formula is excellent and the colour just too cute. The only downside is the small size of the bottle, but I guess you get what you pay for. Nothing else as far as quality is compromised, and I definitely prefer a small amount of polish with a nice brush, than more of a crappy formula.
To make it a little bit more fun and spring/summery I added a little accent flower with white. The stamp I used is a cheapy one from eBay, you know, one of those hexagonal ones where you get a set of six for a couple of pounds.

BRISTOL — After nearly a decade of work revising and updating the Bristol Town Plan, an effort that has at times been very contentious, the plan is ready to be voted on by Bristol residents.
The Bristol selectboard held its second and final public hearing on the controversial town plan update on Monday at the start of the board's meeting in Holley Hall. Only two members of the public were in attendance; no objections were voiced. By 7:04 p.m. — within minutes of calling the meeting to order — the board had closed the discussion.

COSTA MESA — The Orange County Fair Board did not violate any open meeting laws or have any conflicts of interest when it looked into the purchase and/or sale of the fairgrounds, the Orange County district attorney's office concluded in a report released late Thursday.
The 51-page report warned that although no laws were broken, public criticism of the group and the subsequent investigation should serve as a reminder even to avoid the appearance of wrongdoing.
The district attorney's office opened the inquiry after receiving a letter from County Counsel Nicholas S. Chrisos, dated Oct. 30, 2009, requesting an investigation.
Prosecutors investigated Chrisos' claims that the seven-member Fair Board had a clear conflict of interest when it hired former State Sen. Dick Ackerman to "lobby" on the board's behalf to have the fairgrounds put up for sale. Six of the board's seven members also formed a nonprofit, called the Orange County Fair and Event Center Foundation, to potentially buy the fairgrounds.
This lead critics to accuse them of using public for potential private gain.
This, however, wasn't how things happened, prosecutors concluded.
Chrisos could not be reached for comment Thursday night.
Ackerman was hired before the nonprofit had been formed and there was no evidence of a preexisting agreement. Also, he went to Sacramento to assess the seriousness of Gov. Schwarzenegger's plan to sell the 150-acre property in Costa Mesa to help balance the state budget.
Playing devil's advocate, the report notes that the only gains the board members would have from buying the land were free tickets to events and other "minimal" benefits. In themselves, those small benefits wouldn't stand up to prosecution, the report states.
"The evidence indicates that their intentions were directed toward preserving the O.C. fairgrounds and the fair itself, not for self profit," the report reads. "Under all of these facts a prosecution … would neither be justified or warranted."
The report criticized the board for how it announced that its members were looking to form a nonprofit, which, critics claimed, violated state open meeting laws. The board should have discussed the nonprofit foundation more openly, explained it more thoroughly and heeded advice on how to go about it from the state attorney general's office, the report concludes.
"Failing to specifically discuss the foundation at a public meeting, followed by the unannounced participation of the individual (Fair) Board members in it, produced the appearance of intentional secrecy or concealment and generated suspicion of wrongdoing," according to the report.
Investigators concluded that no laws were broken by Fair Board members, representatives or hired consultants.
"The facts disclosed by the investigation may, however, serve as a reminder of the importance of avoiding the appearance of impropriety," the report says.
Board member Dave Ellis referred comments to Fair Board president Steve Beazley, who was not immediately available for comment. The other board members were not immediately available for comment Thursday night.

Bill Gates offering up to $1 million for 'next-generation' condom
Philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates is offering start-up funds of $100,000 to anyone who can come up with the "next-generation condom," according to Grand Challenges in Global Health.
The Round 11 of Grand Challenges Explorations initiative through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is aimed at improving the lives of the world's poorest people – and a new, innovative condom could do just that.
The condom must be effective at lowering the chance of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases, and offer incentive for men and women to use it.
If chosen, the Foundation would continue to fund the condom up to $1 million.
"To overcome persistent health and development problems, we need new, game-changing ideas," Chris Wilson, director of Global Health Discovery & Translational Science at the Foundation, said in a press release. "Inspiration can come from anywhere, and we are hopeful that this new round of Grand Challenges Explorations will uncover innovative approaches to improve lives around the world."
According to the press release, the new condom will "preserve or enhance the pleasure so as to increase uptake and also promote its regular use."
The proposals must have a "testable hypothesis . . . an associated plan for how the idea would be validated . . . and would yield . . .an unambiguous data plan in Phase I, to be considered for Phase II."
Of course, the condom should also be easy to use and include ground-breaking design.

i dont know how make my kids eat veggies,can i get some recepies.thank you
It is difficult, if not impossible to make kids eat veggies if they don't want to. There are some tips that will help. First and foremost, it is important that they see you eating them, and that they be served daily at meals so that kids are used to seeing them. They should be encouraged to try a bite, but not forced. It can take up to 10 or more exposures before a vegetable will be accepted, so perseverance is important. Try having your kids select a vegetable to try each week, and have them help you prepare it. Serving new vegetables with a favorite food may help increase their willingness to try them.

Access to Justice Scholarship and Employment Opportunities
The Access to Justice project with the National Center for State Courts is a highly visible interdisciplinary project that aims to radically improve our court system while simultaneously demonstrating the power of interdisciplinary research at the law school and the Institute for Design. This pairing was the key to getting the State Justice Institute and the Open Society Institute to contribute $150,000 each. The entire country is waiting to see what this next semester reveals about our justice system.
We are offering scholarships or jobs as needed to get 5 committed students. The commitment is significant but the importance is enormous. Scholarships will be for 3 credits of a 4 hour course. Alternatively, employment of 15 hours each week at $12/hour to attend the course, participate in the teams and deliver the projects.
In either case, students must be willing to commit to the full 14 weeks. The time commitment is 8 hours of class and team work (2-6 Tuesday and Friday) and additional time in the week to do research and work on the project. Field trips to Lake County, Cook County, Delaware, California or Colorado may be scheduled to gather additional observations.
If you are interested in pursuing either of these opportunities please
contact Ron Staudt at 906-5326 or Todd Pedwell at 906-5328.
Justice Web Collaboratory: Public Access to Justice Systems and Systematic Design Workshop (ID 589) offered in conjunction with the Institute of Design
The course is taught by Professor Charles Owen of the Institute of Design and Professor Ronald Staudt and is worth 4 semester hours. Law students may audit this course or take it for credit as approved by the assistant dean and Professor Staudt. Chicago-Kent and the National Center for State Courts are partners in the Justice Web Collaboratory -- a national Internet project designed to support judges use of the web and improve access to justice using the tools of the Internet.
For 18 months beginning in Fall, 2000 the Law School, the Institute of Design and the National Center for State Courts will study and propose a redesign of the complex civil court processes. The target of this study and design project is the construction of a consumer-based model for public access to justice. In Phase 2 of the project, interdisciplinary teams of graduate students from the Institute of Design and law students from Chicago-Kent will continue the research begun in the Fall 2000 Justice Web Collaboratory IPRO.
This course introduces students to the application of Structured Planning methods in relation to complex design problems at the system level. Teams investigate the pro se litigation process in the courts of several states and will develop proposals for improving the quality of the process for litigants and the courts. Team techniques are emphasized, and formatted information handling and computer-supported structuring processes are used at appropriate stages of project definition, information development, structuring, concept development and communication.
An emphasis will be placed on the integration of new information and communication technologies. This represents a bold attempt to harness the power of the Internet and the most advanced process design technologies in order to fundamentally re-engineer civil court processes in which self-represented litigants seek to access judicial services. The consumer-based approach will better meet the needs of not only self-represented litigants, but also the needs of lawyers, judges, court staff and others involved in the judicial process.
Classes are scheduled for Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 2:00-6:00
p.m. on the 3rd floor at the Institute of Design, located at 350 N.
LaSalle. Scholarships are available. Students are encouraged to also
enroll in ID 529 Structured Planning, either for credit or audit.
Just the Beginning Foundation Website Opens -- http://www.jtbf.org
The Just the Beginning Foundation ("JTBF") is an organization that is dedicated to commemorating the contributions of African-Americans to the federal judiciary and educating the public on the struggles and successes of African-American lawyers and judges who are role models for future generations. To accomplish this, the JTBF has complied a history of African-Americans in the federal judicial system entitled "From Slavery to the Supreme Courts: The African-American Journey through the Federal Courts." This compilation of historical material is now available at http://www.jtbf.org as a result of the combined efforts of the JTBF and the Center for Information Technology and Law.
