| The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado is struggling to handle too many cases with too few judges, says a Colorado Statesman op-ed, expressing concern for the state’s citizens who “cannot get timely justice or resolution of disputes”.
Currently, only seven judges handle all of the state’s civil and criminal trial-level cases. Despite the growing number of Coloradans, Congress has not increased the number of judges since 1984, the op-ed says. The understaffed, overloaded District Court may face a greater change if the number of full-time judges drops to six. According to the op-ed, U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn announced he will be taking senior status starting in April 2016.
The op-ed was written by Dave Montez, executive director of One Colorado Education Fund. He notes that Colorado’s two U.S. senators “have each created separate screening committees that do not appear to be planning to work together.” Montez also advocates for diversity on the bench, saying the judicial vacancy “provides an opportunity for our senators to select candidates who reflect the diversity of our state.”

| The first phase of the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP), involving the construction of the LRT project,” is scheduled to take off in the first half of 2017. State local government, traffic management, and flood mitigation committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow said the design and the alignment of the LRT would be finalised next year. He was stressing on the issue during the Penang Master Builders & Materials Dealers Association (PMBBMDA) 138th anniversary celebration. Chow said the Gamuda-led SRS Consortium would submit the plan which included the reclamation aspects of the project to the local authorities for approval. “The consortium would also be applying to the Federal authorities for the licence to do the LRT in Penang. “No licence means the LRT project will not take off,” he said. The SRS Consortium is a triumvirate joint venture of Gamuda Berhad, Ideal Property Development Sdn Bhd and Loh Phoy Yen Holdings Sdn, appointed as the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the RM27bil Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) projects. On the request from PMBBMDA to obtain jobs to be generated from the PTMP implementation, Chow said he would arrange a dialogue between SRS Consortium and PMBBMDA on the matter. The PTMP is a massive effort to create new road networks, improve present carriageways and the pedestrian ecosystem. This also includes significantly upgrading the public transport system by introducing new transport options including trams, a mass rapid transit (MRT) system and water taxis. - By The Star | OTHERS |

| Judge orders Kim Davis to jail for holding up marriage licenses: "The Kentucky county clerk citing religious reasons for refusing to issue marriage licenses was jailed for contempt of court. Kim Davis was taken into custody by US Marshals, after defying orders from a federal judge to issue licenses to same-sex couples."
As an elected official, the county clerk does not get to play the religious reasons card. She is to serve all the people not a few. She was presumedly sworn in to uphold the rule of law. It is what makes a democracy. The law is obeyed irrespective of personal objections.
I am sure in the state of Kentucky she is receiving 'support' from other narrow minded people, but they will not be sharing her jail cell. | LAW & CRIME |

| [caption id="attachment_10951" align="aligncenter" width="1163"] Reigate August 2015[/caption]
August Reigate Summary Statistics
Average temp 16.7C
Tmax 29.5C
Tmin 7.1C
Total rainfall 99mm
Sunshine 116.4 hours
Average pressure 1014mb
Max gust 29mph
average wind 16mph
dominant wind direction SOUTH
August in Reigate, like the rest of Southern and SE England, came out slightly cooler than average at nearly 17C with about twice as much rainfall than the long term average with a rainfall total of 100mm. (Possibly* half of this fell in one deluge on 24 August when the town centre flooded quite notably from intense rainfall falling in a few hours (see post below)).
[gallery size="large" type="square" ids="10879,10876,10870"]
[caption id="attachment_10988" align="aligncenter" width="660"] South East England rainfall August 2015: 177% of long term average[/caption]
Across SE England the MetOffice official records showed the rainfall total of 103mm was 177% of the August 1961-1990 long term average, so nearly double the usual totals (100% being the average monthly total for August in this case). Don't forget that August is often a wet month and that August 2014 had 84mm. If you think our Summers are getting cooler and wetter then, well, yes you'd be right! Read on to find out more.
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="10954,10955,10956"]
The mean 500mb pressure pattern for August above shows a deep trough in the Atlantic, dug unusually far to the south for the time of year, and a continuation of the dominant high pressure over Europe from July, nudged further east maintaining the heat wave in Europe. This looks like it should have promised a hot August with an average upper flow from the south and a surface mean flow from the SE. Unfortunately this pattern did not deliver any heat of note, but it did deliver occasional heavy showers and some thunderstorms.
Despite the average southerly and SE flow bringing occasional thundery Spanish Plumes, the real heat stayed stubbornly on the continent and only fleetingly wafted temperatures exceeding 25C across the SE. While France regularly baked in 30C+ daytime heat, Reigate and the SE could only struggle to Tmax temperatures of 25C and only once nudged 30C. Notably, the mean temperature was a tad below the 1981-2010 average but above the 1961-1990 average, showing how recent decades have been warmer. So August was either above or below the long term average, depending on what LTA you choose. This is a small example of how weather statistics can be presented by the media to suit any argument regarding climate change.
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="10959,10958"]
The August monthly Central England Temperature (CET) came out at 0.1C above the long term average but this hides the cooler than average Tmax attained in a disappointing month. This again illustrates how headline figures hide many subtle interpretations of weather statistics. Overall, August was nearly average from the perspective of long term Central England Temperatures, with the East coming out slightly above average compared with a cooler West. Maximum temperatures were widely lower than usual for August.
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="10957,10962,10973"]
At 116.4 hours, sunshine was also only average or a tad below the 1961-1990 average.
[caption id="attachment_10964" align="aligncenter" width="607"] sunshine duration August 2015[/caption]
On average the greatest rainfall totals experienced in Reigate are brought by southerly winds. This makes sense because mean southerly winds are from warm source regions, travelling across Biscay and the Channel, and are frequently associated with humid warm sectors that precede fronts where heavy thundery showers can occur.
[gallery size="large" ids="10983,10981,10982"]
Our more frequent prevailing Westerly / SW winds associated with frontal rain often peters out before reaching the South East as they dump most rain in the western hills of the UK, whereas warm southerly winds containing more water vapour arrive laden with precipitable water (PWAT) ripe for torrential downpours across the SE. The Downs (North and especially the South Downs) can also have a marked orographic effect enhancing this southerly rainfall pattern, whereas they have little impact on frontal rain from the west.
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="10960,10963,10972"]
Finally, research shows that UK Summers have got cooler and considerably wetter since 2000. Cooler by just 0.4C (this despite some warm years) but total summer precipitation has increased by some 50mm over the last 15 years.
[caption id="attachment_10980" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Reigate summers have got cooler and wetter since 2000[/caption]
*Rainfall totals are proving tricky to verify at the moment. We use three sites for measuring rainfall locally: an automatic tipping bucket rain gauge at RGS, a manual CoCoRaHs rain gauge at the same site and a local sister site in town. Unfortunately they rarely agree and sometimes vary quite considerably. Also, the manual rain gauge is used to measure monthly totals because emptying it everyday (during the holidays for example) is not always possible. Calibration of the AWS and regular rain gauge measurements is therefore an immediate target. Meanwhile, all rainfall figures are available on request and posted in these summaries.

| Arya Bahreini is a biomedical science senior with plans to go on to dental school. Aside from studying, you can find Bahreini practicing to maintain his reputation as one of the most successful runners to ever attend OCU.
“It’s great to know I’ve set a high bar for the OCU program,” Bahreini said.
Bahreini wasn’t always a runner.
Bahreini started out playing soccer as a child and as he began middle school his mom signed him up for cross country to help his endurance. He ended up winning a medal in his first race and participated in both sports until high school. As high school began, Bahreini had to make a choice between soccer and cross country.
“I fell in love with running,” Bahreini said. “The endorphin rush from running or seeing the self-improvement.”
Choosing cross country opened a lot of doors for him, Bahreini said. He’s met some of his best friends, bettered himself and has even had the chance to travel to Jamaica and represent the junior USA team competing against other countries.
Bahreini had no offers to run cross country at the college level until his senior year when he ran a 5K, in 15 minutes and 42 seconds.
Bahreini now prefers to run anything above a 5K.
Bahreini chose OCU due to the small class sizes, scholarship opportunities and his coach, Conor Holt.
“Aside from being a good runner, he is a big leader of our team,” said Reno Blum, exercise science senior and team captain. “He’s probably the hardest working person I know.”
Bahreini and the OCU cross country team hope to make both OCU and NAIA history this year by becoming three-time national champions.

| Over at Equitable Growth : Fall 2015 BPEA Th 1:00 PM: Schumacher and Weder di Mauro's paper , "Diagnosing Greek Debt Sustainability: Why Is It so Hard?", confuses me. It is not at all clear to me what "sustainable" or "less than 20% chance of debt-distress" really mean. The interest-rate configuration now is so weird that I do not see how debt sustainability benchmarks constructed for what we used to see as normal times can be useful. READ MOAR
The German ten-year bund rate has been below the eurozone's inflation target for more than four years now. The U.S. thirty-year Treasury rate has been below projected U.S. nominal GDP growth for more than eight years now. It is usually the case that, as the late Michael Mussa used to say, debt sustainability analyses are of the nature of: "if... if... if... as they would say where I grew up: 'if my grandmother had wheels, she would be a bus'." That is overwhelmingly the case now.
So I think we need to go back to basics. Rather than picking up sustainability benchmarks built for a different global macroeconomic situation. I want to see what is assumed with respect to:
what the yield premium over the German benchmark is. when the German benchmark is expected to normalize. what the German benchmark is expected to normalize to. how fast the real principal is expected to be paid down. what share of GDP can be expected to be devoted to debt service and amortization. | EDUCATION |

| When an oppressive king has ruled your nation badly – Wikipedia says that Ahmad bin Yahya, King of the Yemen, was “ruthless, arbitrary and inconsistent” – maybe having a monarchy doesn't sound so good. Maybe having a democratic republic begins to sound a bit better... But I believe that the main reason that there was a revolution against the new king just a few days after Ahmad died – on this date in 1962 – is because Ahmad had made Yemen an enemy of Egypt. It was Egyptian soldiers who fought alongside nationalist forces to overthrow the king. Sigh. I SO wanted Yemen to be a bit of democracy on the Arabian Peninsula, but in actual fact, the Republic of Yemen has seen civil war, corruption, abductions, torture, terrorist attacks, and rebellions! It's pretty much a mess... We are warned NOT to travel to Yemen right now because of all the violence. So let's, instead, enjoy the beauties of the country in the comfort of our own homes: The Shahara Bridge was created in the 1600s to connect towns at the tops of two mountains. It's super scary – but locals cross it often every day. These weird-looking “umbrella” trees seep red sap and are therefore called dragon's blood trees. They are found on Socotra Island, which belongs to Yemen. Also on Socotra Island, this tree is pretty ugly...for a tree! But if you get an entire group of the “ugly” trees – and they look pretty darned cool. I love this “rock palace,” found in Wadi Dhar. Also on this date:

| The Ring at Blackfriars was destroyed in the blitz. Orbit House was built on the site in the 1960s before it too was demolished and replaced by Will Alsop’s Palestra building. I recently came across a photograph of a family eating a meal outside the broken shell of Sayer Street School, which was bombed during the blitz. It stood out, because Sayer Street no longer exists. This was once a long road of shops – a fishmonger, cat-meat dealer, grocer, saddler, bookbinder – and solid, five-storey tenements in Elephant & Castle. When the blitz began, the street was hit by several bombs. What happened next to Sayer Street encapsulates several aspects of the waves of development that continue to shape London – and the central role played by the bomb sites of the blitz 75 years after the first explosions. In the immediate aftermath of the war, Sayer Street was used as a car park. This was a popular use for bomb sites: indeed, the NCP car park empire began with the £200 purchase of a bomb site on Red Lion Square. Then, in the 1960s, the remaining residents were turfed out as Sayer Street was demolished, chewed up by the Heygate Estate – a council housing development that was originally conceived as one of three gigantic estates stretching from Elephant to Peckham, linked by walkways and ramps for two miles. “These plans were incredibly radical, sweeping away neighbourhoods irrespective of damage and replacing them with high-rise towers nobody wanted to live in,” says Peter Larkham, professor of planning at Birmingham School of the Built Environment. The Heygate was bleak, poorly built and badly maintained, but it housed many of London’s poorest. […] Continue Reading – Source: The Guardian | CULTURE & ARTS |

| WOODCLIFF LAKE, NJ. - September 16, 2015 - (Motor Sports Newswire) - Today, BMW M GmbH presented the exclusive BMW M6 Competition Edition at the 66th Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA). The 2016 Competition Edition stands for exceptional individuality, paintwork colors, BMW Individual components made of high-tech carbon fiber, fine leathers with coordinated contrast stitching and a range of unusual details. Limited to 100 units in the US, the Competition Edition is available exclusively for the BMW M6 Coupe with the further honed Competition Package and with a BMW M Performance Driving Center Experience Voucher.
The 2016 Competition Package has also been released for three model variants: 2016 BMW M6 Coupe, BMW M6 Grand Coupe and the BMW M6 Convertible.
Defined by outstanding performance, the three model variants are powered by a 4.4 liter V8 BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology producing 600 bHP with a power boost increasing peak torque from 500 lb-ft to 516 lb-ft delivered between an extremely wide rev band of 1,500 and 6,000 rpm. The increased power, dynamics and handling is owed to the same principles applied to BMW M vehicles: the chassis technology is tuned precisely to the performance characteristics of the powertrain. Firmer tuning of the springs, dampers and anti-roll bars increase stability, reduce roll and result in a higher level of steering precision.
The BMW M6 Coupe Competition Edition model comes with a choice of two exterior paintwork colors: dazzling Alpine White and luminous Austin Yellow metallic. In Alpine White, the BMW M6 Coupe Competition Edition features striking decorative bodywork stripes in the trademark BMW M colors, as will also be displayed on the new BMW M6 GT3 race car. Forming an attractive contrast, customers can choose between 20-inch light alloy Double Spoke M wheels with performance tires and 20-inch light alloy Double Spoke M wheels with forged black with performance tires. An M Performance Exhaust with carbon fiber tailpipes compliments the sportier design. Along with the BMW kidney grille, door handles and side gills in black chrome and the carbon-fiber exterior mirror caps, they accentuate the extraordinarily sporty and powerful presence of the car. The carbon-fiber M rear spoiler and rear diffuser optimize airflow for increased dynamics.
In the interior, BMW Individual fine-grain Merino full leather in black with contrast stitching – available in Opal White with Alpine White paintwork and in Yellow with Austin Yellow metallic paintwork – highlights the car’s exclusive sporty ambience. “M6 Competition” lettering in metal on the door sills and in the side gill elements, along with the lettering on the cupholder lids, is a further signature feature of the Edition model. The interior trim strips, gear selector and M sports steering wheel spokes are made from fine, lightweight carbon fiber, while the steering wheel rim is lined with elegant Alcantara leather.
M multifunction seats for the driver and front passenger, the BMW Head-Up Display and Harman Kardon Surround Sound System or High-End Surround Sound System by Bang & Olufsen with 16 speakers and output of 1,200 watts are also part of the equipment range.
To experience the special BMW M vehicle performance dynamics on the track, M6 Competition Edition customers will receive a Performance Center Voucher upon delivery. The coupon provides each owner with a special opportunity to visit the BMW Performance Center Driving School of their liking for an exclusive half-day instructor led driving experience.
Limited to 120 units worldwide and 100 in the U.S., the BMW M6 Competition Edition is available at selected retailers for $164,900 plus Destination and Handling. For more information please contact your local dealer.

| szczys writes: Here's an interesting fact: when at sea you can't establish your longitude without a reliable clock. You can figure out latitude with a sextant, but not longitude. Early clocks used pendulums that don't work on a rocking boat. So in the 1700's the British government offered up £20,000 for a reliable clock that would work at sea. John Harrison designed a really accurate ocean-worthy clock after 31 years of effort and was snubbed for the prize which would be £2.8 Million at today's value. After fighting for the payout for another 36 years he did finally get it at the ripe old age of 80. The methods he used to build this maritime chronometer were core to every wrist and pocket watch through the first third of the 20th Century. One of his timepieces, designated Clock B, was declared by Guinness to be the world’s “most accurate mechanical clock with a pendulum swinging in free air” more than 250 years after it was designed. | EDUCATION |

| Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers )
(As so often happens, here at the Doctrine, a phrase popped into my head that seemed to be a whole Post…provided I could put into words the feeling that were [embedded] in said phrase. When I wrote today’s Post subtitle, I immediately had two thoughts, a) Readers are going to misunderstand and respond by saying, ‘aww, don’t feel bad, we all think you’re doing great’ and 2) I really need to get back to this kind of post, one that is written to the clarks who are encountering the Wakefield Doctrine for the very first time. And, of course , c) my own re-appreciation of how much things have changed since I first started writing this blog… not the content and nature of the Doctrine, rather the nature of the readership and, even more germane, the changes the Wakefield Doctrine has wrought in my own self. So, what say I give it try?)
When I was young(er), I retained an unshakeable faith in two things: a) my friends and b) my capacity to endure and survive. Now I am no longer younger. More to the point, (of this post), I am now possessed of an understanding of my predominant worldview ( clark /Outsider) and that enables me to see a lot more of the ‘why’ of my behavior and beliefs, actions and responses to the people and the world around me. This is an improvement. This knowledge, this insight into the way that ‘I relate myself to the world around me’, does not, in and of itself, change anything. It does, however, make any desired change much more attainable and sustainable. That is the good of the knowing of the Wakefield Doctrine.
The title today? (And the introduction above, that suggests that perhaps writing a Post to appeal specifically to the brand new clarklike Reader, might be more difficult than I think?) All of what underlies, and thereby giving rise to the sentiment manifested in the subtitle remains true in me, in all clarks . I still have the …. er …. not so positive self-concept that is the initial premise shaping the worldview of the Outsider, and I still, very much value the friends that I have. Most of us, (including rogers and scotts ), will recognize, in the second half of the sub-title an implication, a… ‘yes but’, a ‘hedge’, if you will, on the claim to being valued by others. There is something to the way the statement sounds that is a hallmark of the clarklike personality type. It’s necessary to a clark, this ‘hedging’ of a claim of self-worth or value (to others), a pre-defensive defensive, if you will.
You want a physical example of what I’m trying to convey? (It’s also a primary characteristic of clarks .) Watch a clark smile. Most of time, especially when ‘in public’ or not in a totally secure environment, which is pretty much everywhere except bed or the bathroom, clarks will smile by compressing the lips, putting a slight upwards motion to the corners of the mouth, while watching the other person very carefully. Hedging their bets. Being careful. Keeping the escape route viable. You know, as an Outsider, we’re all about interacting, all while keeping an eye on the door. Find me a classroom, I don’t care if it’s First Grade or Grad School, if the individual student is allowed the choice of seats, you will find a preponderance of clarks in the back row. Near the door. And while one might think that this choice is simply to avoid being noticed, one would be almost correct. It is, in fact, to provide the option to escape, to not be forced into the focus of attention.
That’s part of what the clark personality is like. Tomorrow we may look at scotts, ( ‘ I think, therefore I scream ‘) or perhaps rogers (‘ there is no ‘i’ in herd, there’s only me and everyone like me’ )
Since I’m doing kind of a old-style Post, I thought I’d include a music video, well, just because.*
Click here to view the embedded video.
*excuse me!! excuse me!! because, well, holy shit!! (lol) you want to know the real, totally-honest-to-god reason why I find writing Doctrine Posts so ….so incredible? Ok, so I’m finishing up the final edit and I decide… sure, lets keep the music vid, because I love the song. The last thing I needed to do was to find the ‘cover photo’, you know, the Post’s thumbnail that shows only on the landing page. Well I think, ‘lets look for an image associated with Grieg and ‘the Hall of the Mountain King’, (today’s vid)…at the top of the results page is a link to the wikipedia, so naturally I go to read it ( I’m a clark , remember?) anyway, here’s what jumped out of the screen at me, it made me laugh:
The piece is played as the title character Peer Gynt, in a dream-like fantasy, enters “Dovregubben (the troll Mountain King)’s hall”. The scene’s introduction continues: “There is a great crowd of troll courtiers, gnomes and goblins. Dovregubben sits on his throne, with crown and sceptre, surrounded by his children and relatives. Peer Gynt stands before him. There is a tremendous uproar in the hall.” The lines sung are the first lines in the scene.
Grieg himself wrote “For the Hall of the Mountain King I have written something that so reeks of cowpats, ultra-Norwegianism, and ‘to-thyself-be-enough-ness’ that I can’t bear to hear it, though I hope that the irony will make itself felt.” The theme of “to thyself be… enough” – avoiding the commitment implicit in the phrase “To thine own self be true” and just doing enough – is central to Peer Gynt’s satire, and the phrase is discussed by Peer and the mountain king in the scene which follows the piece .( italics added) ( wikipedia.com )
…no!! really!! lol man! do I love this Wakefield Doctrine!
Related Posts: the moment came, as it comes to all the Wakefield Doctrine… “rather hear tales of… ‘…mid-week review and Post re-print!’ the my bologna has a first name, it’s clarks(!) by their ‘smiles’ you will know… | CULTURE & ARTS |

| What happens if none of the parties manage to breakout in this election? If that happens, it will be a multi-level failure for each of the parties.
At the top -- the leaders. If none of them ultimately move the needle it will mean that each of them is a failure when it comes to retail politics.
The next level responsible will be the campaign. Badly thought out, and even executed worse than that.
And finally, the war room crowd who are supposed to define quickly the enemy and more importantly, make it stick.
If they remain bunched up come election day, this campaign will leave us with failed candidates, strategists and assorted operatives. Out of that mess, some way, somehow, will come Canada's next government.
Remember that all of them are only as good as their last win. | POLITICS |

| With experience, great designers and top minds, motorbikes and machinery. Encapsulating Italian-made goods in a single piece of work is no easy task. Three Italian companies – Ducati, Odone Marmi and Breton – have come together to create “Fortitudo mea in levitate” (“Lightness is my strength”).
Ducati (Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A.)
Italy’s most world-famous motorcycle manufacturer. A company that still amazes us, even after 90 years, with its products of peerless style and performance.
Design
Uniqueness
Craftsmanship
Attention to detail
Technology
Italian verve
Odone Marmi
Master stone and marble workers since 1950, from planning and design through to production and installation. Breton
Research, innovation and technology in machines for working marble, granite and natural and engineered stone. What is “Fortitudo mea in levitate”?
It is a sculpture in white Carrara marble designed by Gianandrea Fabbro, Chief Designer at the Ducati Style Centre, depicting one of the company’s most recognisable models, the Panigale. His refined designer’s pencil has given the world the Panigale 1199 and 1299 and now this splendid marble sculpture, an award-winner at Milan Design Week 2015. It was made by Odone Marmi using a Breton Shapemill. The work was displayed in central Milan for over a week in April, drawing huge admiring crowds outside Audi City Lab in Via Monte Napoleone, at the pulsating heart of the city’s fashion district. Many people wondered how this gem of technology and craftsmanship could have been made. Today’s machining centres with 5 interpolated axes can create highly complex forms with different materials, including marble and granite, to bring designers’ creativity to life. The most innovative Italian workshops, such as Angelo Odone’s, choose this kind of machine to turn marble and granite blocks into unique objects, avant-garde furnishing pieces, and veritable works of art. The Vercelli-based company produced the sculpture for Ducati.
“Fortitudo mea in levitate” could only have been made using a Breton Shapemill, the "Ducati" of 5-axis machining and shaping centres for marble and granite, the queen of speed and precision. This machining centre’s impressive performance supports multiple work processes that would otherwise require several machines. Working with various tools, it can mill, turn and perform routing through its shaped tools. Here is the official video:
The Ducati designer and his design, the Odone Marmi factory’s trademark craftsmanship, and Breton technology are the ingredients in a breathtaking work that emphasises the contrast between the lightness of the forms and the weight of the hefty Carrara marble blocks.
In other words, it is a true celebration of Italian-made excellence.
That’s all for today.
Thank you for reading.
Until next time.
Bye-bye.

| Pin It I do love a Friday morning ~
We have a brand new inspiration challenge over at Just Add Ink for you today. Nikki chose this one for us, and it's perfectly timed with Spring starting this week. I love Spring.
I'm a bit rusty as it's been a good six weeks since I played in my craft room (packing and moving house and all that). What I had in my head didn't really come out on paper the same way.
I white heat embossed a bunch of PTI flowers and coloured them with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers. The colours were really vibrant and bright whilst wet. Unfortunately once dry they had toned down quite a bit. Still pretty but not as bright as I'd planned. A little sponging, some spritzing and a few sequins and blingy bits....
It's been pouring rain here again the past couple of days, not complaining as I put a few tomato plants in the garden yesterday. I'm thinking it's going to be a good day to play with some of my new goodies from the Holiday Catalogue. Have you seen it yet? If you go to the right hand sidebar you'll find a link.
If you'd like to join the JAI challenge this week, here is the inspiration pic for you. Need a little direction? Pop over to look at the design team inspiration and let your imagination run wild.
We're off to a mad hatter/steam punk themed 40th birthday party tomorrow night. Good grief! Yep I had to google the latter...obviously I don't get out much because steam punk seems to be quite popular, and I really had no clue. More on the party next post :)
Have a great weekend! | ENTERTAINMENT |

| For well over a decade, we were stymied by the genus Vigna, our efforts figuring as one of the farm's major nonprofit endeavors. The best we could achieve was parity, a ratio of one pound sown to one pound harvested, and we were almost celebratory about that pathetic achievement, seeing it as a hopeful sign. Most efforts failed even this slight measure of hope.
The adzuki in the field.
Indigenous to tropical Africa and Asia, this genus of legumes has a complex of vernacular names, including field peas, cow peas, chickpeas, southern peas, mung, dal, gram and adzuki. They have a distinct gamy flavor relative to the garden beans. They were also one of the original "beans," along with the fava, of southern Europe—a character in Annibale Carracci's classic 'Mangiafagioli' (~1585) was tucking into a bowl of black-eyed peas, not the American garden beans we associate with Italians today.
Fresh adzuki. Many plants have highly sensitive biochemical chronometers which trigger various functions such as growth, dormancy and flowering according to the dark period of the day. Plants with this requirement are called photoperiodic, and field peas possess that characteristic. In some crops agricultural cultivars have been selected for a very tight photoperiod. For example, onions and cabbage are not useful if they go to flower, or bolt, willy nilly. In Oregon, crops adapted to southern latitudes do not set flower until the nights lengthen in August or September, and there is not enough time to set and ripen their fruits. This is why okra, limas and field peas are not successful at this latitude, and as yet have no commercial cultivars suitable for Oregon. We have wasted a great deal of time and treasure on all three; hope springs eternal.
Experimenting with other crops gave us an appreciation of the challenges farming at the 45th parallel. One of the fascinating entries in the Tokyo Foundation is about Longfellow flint corn originating in New England that is grown on the island of Hokkaido. The northern part of the island lies on the 45th, which is why that variety grew well. We realized we needed to understand the crops of the island better, and that led to our Hokkaido Project. Both soy and adzukis are grown on Hokkaido, so we started trying varieties from the prefecture. Adzukis are the one Vigna, or field pea, that has commercial potential here in Oregon. We are also working on two traditional soy varieties, more on that later.
Fresh adzuki ready for market.
Initially, adzukis didn't sell well. We had licked the biology only to confront a marketing challenge. Despite the hesitant reaction, four customers gave us the spine to plant more. Mio Asaka (Mio's Delectables) and Naoko Tamura (Chef Naoko) used them in a traditional Japanese way as red bean paste. Last winter, David Sapp of Park Kitchen asked us if we could suggest one of our beans as a substitute for black-eyed peas in Hoppin' John. A light bulb lit up and we suggested using the adzukis. We warned him they are different, but of a kind, whereas the other beans we grow are definitely not of that kind. He was happy with the result, and encouraged us to plant more. Sarah Minnick was the other person who brought them into her kitchen with a variation on their traditional use in sweets; at Lovely's 50/50 they ended up ice cream.
A couple of weeks ago we got the idea that perhaps adzukis would be tasty as fresh shelled beans. We asked people who might know and poked about a bit online, but no one seems to share our idea. Then again, no one had ever suggested grinding popcorn and cooking it for polenta, or steeping it in slack lime for hominy, so there is no harm in trying an unshared notion. Bear in mind there are a host of ideas that have been discretely buried and forgotten in the Ayers Creek compost pile as well. As it turns out, fresh shelled adzukis make a tasty dish, just like one of the southern peas. Not quite the perfection of a Lady pea, but up there with next tier field peas. We will have some at market this week, a one-time event, and then you all will have to wait for the dried adzukis. | FOOD & DRINK |

| By REID TUCKER
It took longer for the Freeport Bulldogs to drive to Panama City Beach’s Tommy Oliver Stadium and warm up than it did for them to wreck North Bay Haven.
The total time needed to play the entire game, from the first blow of a whistle to the final buzz of the scoreboard, came in at less than two hours, and that included a full-length halftime break. The Bulldogs, who improved to 3-1 on the season, were utterly dominant on the night of Sept. 18, scoring seemingly at will on their opponents while amassing just 12 yards shy of four times as much total offensive yardage as the host squad.
Though Freeport went on to blank the Buccaneers 26-0, the visiting squad didn’t run up the score and instead adopted a strategy of getting out ahead with the starters before switching in some JV players to get valuable on-field experience in the fourth quarter. Freeport’s individual players didn’t need to put up huge numbers to make significant contributions, but some players usually reserved for special roles got their chance to shine in the one-sided contest. Austin Vinson, typically relied on when the team needs to bulldoze a way through the opposing team’s defense, led the Bulldogs with 53 rushing yards on five open-field carries, while freshman Ashton Saults got one heck of a varsity debut, adding 45 yards and a touchdown to his résumé.
For all that eventual show of force, Freeport got off on the wrong foot. North Bay Haven’s Grant Lord snatched down an interception when Bulldog quarterback Zack Seay was making a pitch from the 14-yard line near the start of the game. The Bucs had the ball on their own 3, but the Freeport defense halted them nine yards up the field, forcing a punt that got off late, giving Freeport the ball on the 17-yard line.
The Bulldogs wasted no time capitalizing on the favorable field positioning, and Chris Decker (seven carries, 44 yards) ran in a touchdown on the first snap from scrimmage, though the point-after kick failed. North Bay Haven had possession of the ball through the end of the first quarter, and made its first and only scoring threat in the first play of the second. Justin Bayless, who led the Bucs in rushing with 71 yards on nine carries, put Cooper Lovett in position for a field-goal attempt on about the 30-yard line, but Freeport’s Aaron Parker easily swatted the ball aside.
From then on Freeport controlled the action, scoring on a nine-yard touchdown from Seay and an extra point kick from Zack Johnson to make it a 13-0 ballgame with 6:26 left in the half. Both sides gained some ground, though Freeport didn’t score again with its JV players on the field, and they both kicked the ball around until the intermission.
Freeport scored twice in the third quarter, first when Decker intercepted a pass from Steven Padot and caught the Buccaneer offense going the other way, leaving him with plenty of open ground. He returned the ball for a TD from 52 yards out and Johnson’s point-after kick was good for a 20-zip lead with 10:46 still to play in the period.
North Bay Haven muffed the punt after they got the ball back and after being held to their own 37-yard line on the ensuing possession, giving Saults the stage upon which to make his mark. Freeport took over on the 27, and though Saults was at first forced back to the 30, he then took the handoff to run in a 33-yard touchdown on second and 13. The kick came up short, but Freeport still got the 26-0 winning margin out of the brief possession.
The remainder of the game, including the entire fourth quarter, was scoreless on both sides, as either team either punted or turned the ball over on downs while the clock ran down. North Bay Haven very nearly put together a scoring drive late in the game, but Freeport recovered a Joe Dunn fumble on the 16-yard line with 1:15 left to play. Sault was pushed back to the 9 before taking a knee to let time run out for the win. | SPORTS |

| Kevin and Jean Kennelly want their unbearable loss to help others.
Their only child, Kevin Jr., died in 2011 after he was punched in the face during a fight the night of July 4 on the shores of Lake Michigan in Long Beach, Ind. Kevin, 17, died in a hospital two days later.
The brutal punch took his life but won't claim his memory or his legacy, his father said.
This week, the couple, who live in Chicago's Beverly community, announced that most of a $1 million settlement of their lawsuit over their son's death will be given to charity, including $500,000 to Mount Carmel High School, where Kevin Jr. attended. "This is something we have to live with for the rest of our lives. But doing this, giving money away, it makes us feel pretty good that something good came out of Kevin's time on this earth," his father said.
Legal costs, mostly attorney fees, in the three-year court fight, amounted to about $350,000, leaving the couple with $650,000. The Kennellys decided to donate it all to Mount Carmel; St. Barnabas School, where Kevin went to grade school; a church and the scholarship fund named for their son.
"It wasn't our money," Kevin said. "It was the price they put on Kevin's life."
At Mount Carmel, where Kevin Jr. played baseball and soccer and would have been a senior in September 2011, the Rev. Tony Mazurkiewicz, the school president, said the use of the generous gift has not been determined.
The other $150,000 will be split between St. Barnabas School, where Kevin graduated in 2009; St. Rita High School, in appreciation of a kindly priest, the Rev. Tom McCarthy, who counseled the parents after Kevin's death; tiny Sacred Heart Church, 11652 S. Church St., Chicago, a favorite of the Kennelly family for Mass; and to the Kevin F. Kennelly Jr. Memorial Scholarship Fund.
The couple's generosity stunned their attorney, Bryan O'Connor.
"Wasn't that amazing? I've been doing this job for 38 years, and I've had many (wrongful) death cases. Never once did the beneficiary donate everything to various charities," O'Connor said. "They were totally devoted to their son. Their lives revolved around him."
Life has been hard for Kevin and Jean since they lost their son. They think of him every day, Kennelly said.
When asked how he and his wife are coping, he said, "Not very well, but it's not anything you heal from. It doesn't go away."
Kennelly, 60, is a Chicago Fire Department captain. He plans to work as long as he can, in part because it keeps his mind off their loss.
The lawsuit took about three years to resolve after the criminal case was decided against Jake Malecek, of Chicago, the man who punched Kevin and who pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, O'Connor said.
He said Malecek "did a couple months in jail and also did home confinement wearing an ankle bracelet."
An autopsy by the Lake County, Ind., coroner determined that Kevin died from the blow to his head and ruled it a homicide.
O'Connor said the family "had just bought and renovated a summer vacation home up there, and that was the first weekend for their son to have friends up there. And he winds up dead after just an unbelievable chain of events."
The couple has sold the vacation home in Long Beach, they said.
"It wasn't that we were ashamed of being there," Kennelly said. "That was our own personal stations of the cross — 'this was the place we saw Kevin last. That was the door Kevin walked out the last time,'"
Kevin had mentioned following in his father's firefighting footsteps, but Dad was "dead set against that.
"It's not a safe thing to do. He was a very bright kid. He would've thought of something else," Kennelly said.
"He was 6-foot-2 and 160 pounds, skinny. He hadn't even started shaving yet. Who knows where he'd be now?" Kennelly said. "He wanted to go to Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala., a Jesuit school. Three of his friends went there because he wanted to. They did it to honor him."
Kevin was so popular with his classmates that his visitation was held at the Mount Carmel Convocation Center.
The Kennellys announced their donation to Mount Carmel at the school on Wednesday. Eileen O'Connor, Bryan's daughter who practices law with him, called it "very emotional."
"When the family came to us four years ago, they said it was never about the money. They did this for their son," she said.
At Mount Carmel on Thursday, Mazurkiewicz said he can "still see where Kevin sat" in geology class, calling him "one of the nicest, most generous young men I ever taught. And now there's the incredible generosity of the family."
Kennelly said Kevin was a dedicated fan of the Blackhawks and White Sox.
"He would have had a hard time with the Cubs this season," his father said with a laugh.
A golf outing will be held Oct. 3 at Gleneagles Golf Club near Lemont to raise money for the scholarship fund, he said. | OTHERS |

That's about all I have to say about the film; not even going to write a full review. I support all the leads as almost legendary black actors who still got it (support black artists!), it was a pleasant surprise to see Kathryn Morris from Cold Case on screen again, and of course I always enjoy a good movie date with Ma. But honestly I could've waited for this to come out on TV, or just not seen it at all. Not a bad film, but also not a very good one either. | ENTERTAINMENT |

| When you are implementing Oracle Identity Manager to manage the identities within your organization, you may have to use multiple sources for identity information. For instance, there might be different departments with their own HR system and there might be separate sources for customers or business partners. In this article I’ll discuss 4 options to manage multiple sources and prevent issues like double identities. I will also present a use case to explain how to configure Oracle Identity Manager to use multiple sources.
Use Case
Swift&Safe Inc. is an organization that specializes in logistics. Swift&Safe Inc. uses Oracle Identity Manager to provide employees and customers with appropriate access to company resources. They use two different HR systems: one for employees who work in at the office (mostly administrative staff, but also some who work the logistic processes), and one for employees on the road. Let’s call these systems HR1 and HR2, both will be used by Oracle Identity Manager for importing identities. In addition, the company uses a third system (CUST1) to register customers and Oracle Identity Manager will also import identities from this system.
Figure 1: Swift&Safe Inc.
In this case people can have several positions within the company concurrently and can therefore exist in both HR1 and HR2, but Swift&Safe Inc. only allows one identity in Oracle Identity Manager per employee, so that any entitlements a particular person has can be checked against segregation of duties (SoD) policies. In addition, an employee can also be a customer and in that case needs a separate customer identity because access to customer facing resources is managed separately.
Swift&Safe Inc. is working on connecting Oracle Identity Manager to these three sources so employees and customers will have the correct identities in Oracle Identity Manager.
How does it work?
First I’ll tell you a couple of things you need to know about how the importing of identity information works in Oracle Identity Manager. After that, we can look into possible implementation options.
Source systems are integrated with Oracle Identity Manager by use of connectors. A connector is installed for every source and holds information about the format of the data in the source system (meta data), and a mapping table specifying which attributes of entries in the source correspond to which attributes of an identity in Oracle Identity Manager. The meta data and mapping table tell Oracle Identity Manager how to interpret the flow of data coming from a source so Oracle Identity Manager can build identities with the provided information.
Figure 2: Example of attribute mapping.
Oracle Identity Manager uses its reconciliation engine to handle the process of importing information. Reconciliation can be done in trusted mode and target mode. In trusted mode the imported identity information is used to create, update and delete identities in Oracle Identity Manager. In target mode, the imported data is regarded as information about accounts that are present in the source system. These accounts are assigned to identities in Oracle Identity Manager.
The reconciliation engine first uses the information of an entry in the source to try to match the entry to an identity in Oracle Identity Manager, based on matching rules. Depending on the result of this matching process, an action is then assigned to handle the imported entry, based on action rules. The matching and action rules are defined at connector level so these are specific per source. The entry and assigned actions (for example “create identity”) are stored in an event that is placed in the event queue. Items in this queue are then processed in so called orchestrations, which are workflows that take care of the job at hand.
Figure 3: Action rules define actions for each type of matching results
Implementation options Integrating HR sources
One way to prevent issues, is to make sure only one system is authoritative for the lifecycle of identities. A trusted reconciliation is set up with this source. Additional target reconciliations can be set up with any number of sources to augment Oracle Identity Manager identities with additional attributes that are not present in the trusted reconciliation. In the case of Swift&Safe Inc. this option requires the consolidation of identity information at HR system level, because information from all three systems must be present in the trusted source defined in Oracle Identity Manager.
Using a staging area
This option involves setting up a system that acts as a staging area between the HR sources and Oracle Identity Manager. This may be in the form of a database or directory where information from multiple sources is combined (and maybe scrubbed, enriched or anonymized) in order to create a single trusted source for Oracle Identity Manager. In some situations this may be an option because of the complexity of the data, the amount of changes in meta data, the skill set of the support team or responsibility for data sanitation. But it may not be technically possible or too costly to maintain an extra system.
Allowing multiple identities per person
Technically you can use multiple trusted sources in Oracle Identity Manager, and these sources will be authoritative for the lifecycle of ‘their’ identities. In this case multiple identities will be created for a person if this person is registered in more than one trusted source, and this results in multiple accounts on target systems. This can be useful for keeping accounts related to different job functions separated. Having multiple accounts on the same company resources can also be confusing to end users while perfoming their daily dutties and when they review information in request or review processes. Or maybe only one identity will be created and creation of subsequent identities for the same person will fail, depending on the configuration of Oracle Identity Manager for instance regarding the uniqueness of attributes.
Consolidating identity information in Oracle Identity Manager
Using Oracle Identity Manager to consolidate identity information. This is the option that Swift&Safe Inc. will be implementing. They will use the capabilities of Oracle Identity Manager to combine identity information and centrally manage accounts and access rights. In part 2 of this article we’ll take a look at the basic configuration that is needed to achieve this.
Conclusion
There are several options for managing identities in an environment where multiple sources for identity information are used. Which one fits best in your organization depends on several factors such as technical feasibility, costs, maintainability and reliability, and data quality responsibility. Swift&Safe Inc. decided on option 4 because they need to keep their HR systems separated and do not want the burden of maintaining an extra system needed for a staging area. Oracle Identity Manager provides them with an excellent option by providing a central platform with configurable connectors, reconciliation options and workflows which allows them to accommodate the flow of identity information. In part 2 of this article you’ll find more information on how to set up Oracle Identity Manager in this scenario.

| On Sundays after church, we love to go out for brunch to a local breakfast and brunch cafe. Sergi and I are such huge fans of breakfast foods for all three meals of the day, not just in the morning. Not only does this place have the most amazing beignets that taste remarkably like Russian Ponchiki , but they also have so many entree options. This omelet is my favorite. I tweaked it a bit to suit my taste more. The caramelized onions and golden brown mushrooms are so filling and hearty, the roasted peppers, tomatoes, spinach and fresh herbs bring so much brightness and fresh flavors. The feta cheese and shaved Parmesan cheese are the finishing touch that are so creamy, tangy and nutty. So many vitamins and nutrients are packed into one omelet. You will start your day right from the very beginning. You can make this for an indulgent breakfast on the weekend, as well as a quick dinner any day of the week. I’ve been making it over and over again and every time I savor every bite, trying to get every single ingredient on the fork before it goes in my mouth. It’s the perfect combination for my palate.
Ingredients: 4 eggs 2 Tablespoons half n half (or milk or heavy cream) salt, ground black pepper 2 Tablespoons butter or oil, divided 1 very small onion, sliced 2-4 oz fresh mushrooms (baby bella, button or any other kind of mushrooms), sliced 1 large handful baby spinach 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, julienned 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced 4 Tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated 1 Tablespoon fresh basil and parsley, chopped Instructions: Whisk the eggs, half and half, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper until the eggs are evenly mixed. (Half and half is a dairy product that is basically half milk and half heavy cream. You can use milk or heavy cream instead also.) In a 10 inch nonstick skillet, heat up 1/2 Tablespoon of butter or oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and ground black pepper and cook for another 5 minutes or so. The mushrooms and onion should start to turn golden brown. Take them out of the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the skillet. Add 1/2 Tablespoon of butter and melt it on medium heat. When the butter stops sizzling, pour in half of the egg mixture into the skillet. You should hear it sizzle gently. Swirl the eggs around the pan. As the eggs set on the bottom, gently push them towards the center of the pan and swirl the pan so the liquid eggs will flow to the sides. Keep pushing the set eggs toward the center and swirling the pan, until most of the liquid eggs are dispersed evenly over the surface of the omelet. This is a very quick process and shouldn’t take long at all. When the bottom of the omelet sets but the top is still runny, add half of the mushroom mixture to the center of the omelet, top with half of the baby spinach, half of the roasted red peppers and half of the tomatoes. Using a small, very thin spatula, fold the first side over the middle of the omelet. Fold the other side over the middle also, to make a neat omelet. Slide the omelet out of the skillet and onto a plate. Top with half of the feta cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese. As the cheese settles into the hot omelet, it will start to get soft and melted. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients. Garnish both omelets with fresh basil and parsley. Serve immediately. Deluxe Veggie Omelet Save Print Prep time 10 mins Cook time 20 mins Total time 30 mins Author: Olga's Flavor Factory Recipe type: Breakfast Serves: 2 Ingredients 4 eggs 2 Tablespoons half n half (or milk or heavy cream) salt, ground black pepper 2 Tablespoons butter or oil, divided 1 very small onion, sliced 2-4 oz fresh mushrooms (baby bella, button or any other kind of mushrooms), sliced 1 large handful baby spinach ¼ cup roasted red peppers, julienned ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, sliced 4 Tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled 2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese, shaved or grated 1 Tablespoon fresh basil and parsley, chopped Instructions Whisk the eggs, half and half, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper until the eggs are evenly mixed. (Half and half is a dairy product that is basically half milk and half heavy cream. You can use milk or heavy cream instead also.) In a 10 inch nonstick skillet, heat up ½ Tablespoon of butter or oil. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and ground black pepper and cook for another 5 minutes or so. The mushrooms and onion should start to turn golden brown. Take them out of the skillet and set aside. Wipe out the skillet. Add ½ Tablespoon of butter and melt it on medium heat. When the butter stops sizzling, pour in half of the egg mixture into the skillet. You should hear it sizzle gently. Swirl the eggs around the pan. As the eggs set on the bottom, gently push them towards the center of the pan and swirl the pan so the liquid eggs will flow to the sides. Keep pushing the set eggs toward the center and swirling the pan, until most of the liquid eggs are dispersed evenly over the surface of the omelet.

IRVING, Texas -- Brandon Weeden took part in a full practice on Monday after missing a week because of a concussion suffered Aug. 23 against the San Francisco 49ers.
With one more practice before Thursday’s preseason finale against the Houston Texans, Weeden will be available to play for the Dallas Cowboys. With Tony Romo and the starters not playing, this could be Weeden’s final significant playing time for quite a while.
“That’s the plan unless something changes between now and then,” Weeden said. “Still a few things we’ve got to do. But I feel better than expected.”
Weeden started the preseason opener against the San Diego Chargers and completed four of five passes for 42 yards in 11 snaps. He planned to play more against the 49ers before getting hurt. In 11 snaps in that game he completed two of five passes for 7 yards.
He did not play against the Minnesota Vikings but was on the sideline.
Despite the time off, Weeden does not feel behind.
“Arm’s fresh because I haven’t thrown very much, which is really good,” Weeden said. “I think as far as schematically I feel good just because I tried to do as much as I can back there when Tony and those guys are out there. Maybe timing and stuff like that, a little bit. But once you get throwing and throw a couple of routes in there, you kind of get that back.”
With Romo not taking part in the offseason program last year and limited in training camp as well, Weeden got more work with the starters than a normal backup. That carried over to the regular season from Week 2 on, when Romo sat out of Wednesday practices.
Despite fewer snaps this offseason and through training camp and the preseason, Weeden said he feels more comfortable with the offense.
“I’m in there with a lot of younger guys, so I’m telling them, ‘Hey, you’ve got (this route) here. You’ve got this,’” Weeden said. “I’m telling every guy what to do. So it helps me, it helped me last year kind of getting a really good grasp of this offense. Now I can kind of explain and I’m not having to think quite as much.” | SPORTS |

ST. LOUIS -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams midway through the third quarter with a left knee injury and did not return.
Though the severity of the injury is not yet known, Roethlisberger is expected to miss at least four weeks, a source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The team is guardedly optimistic that Roethlisberger did not tear his ACL, but rather suffered a sprained knee, a source told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

Roethlisberger was seen on crutches following the game, a 12-6 victory, and is scheduled to have an MRI. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the team will provide an update Monday.
With 5:35 left in the third quarter, Rams safety Mark Barron sacked Roethlisberger after coming on a blitz, hitting him just below his left knee. Roethlisberger went down and immediately grabbed at the knee before the play was whistled dead.
Roethlisberger reached the sideline with some help but was immediately taken to the locker room on a cart. Michael Vick replaced Roethlisberger at quarterback.
After the game, members of the Steelers said they had an issue with the hit.
"I thought it was kind of low," offensive lineman Ramon Foster said. "I think the NFL will look at it."
When asked if he had a problem with the hit, Tomlin tersely responded, "I did."
Barron said he tripped over someone's feet en route to Roethlisberger.
"I stumbled a bit but on my way down I caught a piece of his leg," Barron explained. "I'm not sure exactly what area it was but that's what happened."
Before the injury, Roethlisberger was 20-of-24 for 192 yards with an interception, while Vick finished 5-of-6 for 38 yards. | SPORTS |

| Is the rhetoric in the long discussion of proposed changes in the Davis school district’s AIM program — which consumed more than five hours of Thursday night’s school board meeting — getting out of hand? Toward the end of the meeting, which focused on proposed reductions to the scope of the AIM program, several speakers suggested that some comments were getting out of hand.
Alicia Sullivan harshly criticized report, describing it as “a slash-and-burn of the AIM program,” telling the trustees “I refuse to allow my children and the community’s children to be the sacrificial lambs for your slaughter.” She threatened a drive to recall some school board trustees, accusing them of “lying to constituents before the election” about AIM, and spoke of organizing a “non-district supported charter school.”
Katherine Unger once again urged the trustees to rehire former AIM Program Coordinator Deanne Quinn, whose contract was not renewed earlier this summer. Unger argued that AIM enrollment should not be reduced because “the definition of fairness is that everyone gets what he or she needs. Equal and fair are not the same. I’ll close by quoting Plato: ‘It is better in fact to be guilty of manslaughter than of fraud about what is fair and just.’ ”
Hemant Bhargava warned that if the AIM program is reined in, “We are throttling our children with the highest academic potential.”
John Thomson said he doesn’t think efforts to provide differentiated instruction in regular classrooms (the approach the report recommends be beefed up) are working, and asked “Why do we need to narrow the band for AIM? Why not expand it, and allow the AIM teachers to differentiate?”
Such remarks touched a nerve with music teacher Greg Brucker. He said he has no position regarding AIM, but was distressed by “extreme nastiness” in some parents remarks. Bruckers voice rose as he went on: “People have said horrible things a out the great majority of our teachers (who are not AIM teachers)…. Someone went as far to make a reference to manslaughter. This is absurd!”
Teacher Leslie Whiteford said certain AIM parents have “some preconceived notion that AIM teachers are the only ones who know how to differentiate. I take exception to that, on behalf of all the neighborhood teachers. I’m wondering why we keep focusing on the idea that neighborhood teachers can’t do it.” Whiteford noted that she will soon be speaking at a prominent conference on the topic of differentiated instruction.
Steve Kelleher, a longtime AIM teacher, faulted the administration for not involving AIM teachers as the report was prepared this summer. “We have decades of experience, and we were left out of the development of the plan,” Kelleher said. Regarding former AIM program director Deanne Quinn, Kelleher conceded “She can be blunt.” But Kelleher said Quinn’s knowledge is valuable, and wished she had been involved in the preparation of the report.
Cathy Bryant, a longtime science teacher at Holmes Junior High, worried about the proposed requirement that AIM teachers get a certification for gifted education. Bryant asked who would cover the cost. “How am I going to teach and get certification (at the same time)?”
But Ingrid Salim, a longtime science teacher, supported the recommended changes in AIM, adding “I am very proud of the district office for putting this together.”
Former school board trustee Joan Sallee, who served from 1996 to 2005, noted that the GATE/AIM program triggered many long, late discussions during her years on the board. She urged the current school board trustees to keep the AIM program at its current size: “Don’t decrease it. Focus on the problems, but don’t decrease the program.”
Retired math professor Tom Sallee (husband of Joan Sallee), said that in his experience training math teachers, differentiated instruction “requires either small classrooms or really energetic teachers… Professional development (for teachers) will help, but it won’t create hours in the day.”
A parent read a letter from Kristie Sallee (daughter of Joan and Tom Sallee), who will be abroad on sabbatical when the district’s universal testing for AIM eligibility is held. Kristie Sallee indicated that when she asked about this at the district office (since the district no longer accepts private testing), she was told by one person that she should change the dates of her sabbatical, and told by another person that she should fly her child back to Davis so he could participate in the universal AIM testing.

| A reader, seeing the LAV live fire post, sent in a question about the Bradley. As a non military guy, I’m curious about your opinion, as an ex Bradley TC, of the Bradley. A bit of background: I’m a 42 yr old child of the Reagan buildup. To me the Bradley and the Abrams were awesome to deal with the situation for which they were designed. I’m seeing a lot of criticism about them (the Bradley especially) considering the losses that have been inflicted upon them. But to me; they were never invincible. They were just supposed to be able to allow us to stop the Soviets in Germany. There would have been losses. And now we are using the in ways they weren’t specifically designed for (insurgencies); Saudis in Yemen. First, even though I’ve used the nom de plume “XBradTC” for over a decade now, Bradley’s actually don’t have a TC, they have a BC- Bradley Commander. There’s an obscure reason why I chose TC, mostly having to do with dealing with people that were in the Army pre-Bradley. As to the Reagan build up and the Abrams and the Bradley, to be fair, both designs were actually pretty well finalized during the Carter years, though they entered into active service in the early 80s. And yes, they were specifically designed to deal with the massive Warsaw Pact threat in Western Europe. Every armored vehicle design is a product of not just the technological state of the art, but also the doctrine of the buyer, competing interests of the various constituencies that will use it (for instance, the Infantry and the Cavalry had very different desires of what the then future Bradley would do and look like) and of course, cost concerns. Some aspects of the Bradley and Abrams were pretty radical, such as every vehicle having a built in thermal target sight. Other aspects, compromises, were also contentious, such as the fact that the Bradley carries a much smaller dismount squad than its M113 predecessor. That was forced onto the designers not because they didn’t value the dismount infantry, but size, weight and cost put an upper limit on vehicle size, and given the imperative to include a turret with both a 25mm gun, and a twin-tube TOW launcher, something had to give, and that was dismount seats. As to criticism of Bradley losses, it is, to some extent, the nature of the beast. For all the folly of the movie The Pentagon Wars showed, the Bradley is far, far more survivable than its M113 predecessor. However, it was never designed to withstand anti-tank fires, such as AT-3 Sagger ATGMs, let alone the more modern Russian missiles in use today. One part of the design philosophy behind the Bradley (and even more so the M1) was that survivability was focused on the crew, moreso than the vehicle itself. The designers recognized that they could never make the Bradley withstand modern anti-armor weapons, but they could reduce the risks to the crew. For instance, the Bradley has an excellent fire suppression system built in with automatic sensors that trigger extinguishers on board to prevent flash fires in the crew and troop compartments. They might not fully extinguish the fire, but they will usually give the crew and troops time to exit the stricken vehicle. Another aspect to the losses of Bradleys in Iraq is doctrinal. When the Bradley was being designed with Western Europe in mind, the Army’s doctrine toward combat in urban areas was pretty simple- don’t. In spite of the incredible urbanization of Europe, the Army’s doctrine looked at key terrain and road networks outside of built up areas as the prime maneuver space. That was all well and good in the 80s, but in Iraq in 2004-2006, the key terrain was, in fact, the people. And of course, the people were only found in built up areas. That became an issue, as securing urban terrain requires a much greater density of manpower than a similarly sized rural area. And that lack of dismounts was a major handicap. Not only that, but the decreased sightlines in urban terrain somewhat negates the sensor advantage of the Bradley’s optics. It also meant that opposing forces would often have better angled shots at the sides, rear and top of Bradleys, where they were more vulnerable, with the thinnest armor. Tactics, techniques and procedures could mitigate that to some extent, and the organic firepower of the Bradley was also quite useful, but by 2006, the Army decided that using MRAPs or Strykers in urban areas made more sense, and could provide greater numbers of dismounts and required less crew, and had greater speed on the road networks. And so, Bradleys were pretty much withdrawn from Iraq by the end of 2006. As to the Saudi experience in Yemen, I suppose that our correspondent is referring to the rebel video I linked to found in this post, with various Saudi Brads getting lit up. For the most part, that’s just bad tactics. Laziness on the battlefield will get you killed. Always be scanning. US troops virtually always have their head out of the hatch, visually scanning, while the gunner is also using the turret to scan for targets and threats. Similarly, if halted for more than just a few moments, the dismounts kick out and begin securing the local area. That won’t eliminate the threat, but it will make it harder for the enemy. It’s one thing to take a hit. It’s another thing to give the enemy a gimme shot. Overall, the Bradley is an excellent fighting vehicle. Having said that, it is quickly facing obsolescence. Much like ladies over thirty, it’s gaining weight and not getting any stronger. The original M2/M3 were powered by a 500hp diesel. The M2A2/M3A2 upgraded to a 600hp engine, but given the increased armor on those models, that was barely sufficient to restore it to previous levels of performance. And in the quarter century since the A2 models entered service, much more weight has found its way on board. The onboard digital battle management system, the newer thermal sights, revised interior, air conditioning and of course, the urban survival kit all added significant weight increases. Not only that, they also use vastly more electrical power, which the engine is hard pressed to provide. There is simply an upper limit to how much you can increase the power, both motive and electrical, in an existing design. And the Bradley is bumping hard up against that limit. Furthermore, while the 25mm gun is, for now, of sufficient lethality, very soon it will likely begin to be just a tad small for most threat scenarios, and the option for a 30mm or even 40mm gun will become more attractive. LTG McMasters has been teasing some news about the Army’s future combat vehicle acquisition, and we hope to address that in another post soon. | OTHERS |

| JACKSON, MI – Two investigations into the alleged suicide of a 35-year-old woman at the Jackson County Jail last month are nearly completed, officials said. Renee Russell Michigan Department of Corrections Jackson police Deputy Chief John Holda said an external investigation into the Aug. 17 death of Renee Russell by his department was completed late last week and had been forwarded to the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office for review on Sept. 1. Holda said investigators have ruled Russell's death a suicide and are submitting the report to the prosecutor for further review as a precautionary measure. County Prosecutor Jerry Jarzynka said his office has received the report and noted the review will likely take several weeks. Sheriff Steve Rand has previously reported Russell was in an isolation cell when jail personnel found her unresponsive shortly after 9 p.m. Aug. 17. He said Russell had tried to hang herself and efforts by deputies and medical personnel to revive her were unsuccessful. Rand said an internal investigation into whether or not all sheriff's office policies and procedures were followed during Russell's month-long incarceration is also nearing completion. Russell was booked at the jail on July 19 for probation violation and a charge of first-degree retail fraud, according to court records. She had pleaded guilty to a separate charge of first-degree retail fraud in March and was sentenced to 270 days in jail, given credit for seven days served and placed on 24 months probation, according to court records. "We are nearly completed with the internal investigation and all indications are that policies and procedures were followed," Rand said in a Sept. 2 email. "We have no reason to suspect that this was anything other than an unfortunate incident. We are working to ensure that something like this does not occur in the future." | LAW & CRIME |

| Can you really make delicious healthy crispy snacks with vegetables? Or, do they taste like cardboard and send you running for your favourite potato chips? Yes, you can. I’ll tell you what I’ve learned after dozens of recipe experiments, plus how to make chips from a variety of vegetables. Get ready to munch. There is hope. Related: find other food recipes using fresh fruits and vegetables here. Chip Chip-Compromise Well, there’s good news and bad news. Veggie chips can be a healthier alternative to other snack foods like potato chips or crisps. But the bad news is, the best-tasting ones are made exactly like potato chips and therefore don’t have any valid nutritional or health bragging rights. Deep fried is deep fried. It really doesn’t matter if there’s a green bean or a potato lurking in there somewhere. All things considered, the bad cancels out the good. Oven Loven So, let’s move on and settle in on the next-best solution: baking. I have been experimenting with baked veggie chip recipes for years. This comes up a lot in the fall when I have an assortment of odds and ends from the summer garden harvest to use up. Often there’s not enough for canning or preserving but I want to use the scraps for something. Hence, veggie chip mania. And yes, some of them are quite delicious. Be Willing to Experiment While veggie chips are very simple to prepare, it’s not so easy to provide exact baking instructions. You have to be willing to try stuff out. Oven times vary a lot depending on the produce itself (and the moisture levels of that particular crop), how hot your oven actually gets, and random factors like altitude. So even if you use other recipes (there’s lots online), be sure to watch your oven like a hawk. Because under-cooked and over-cooked veggie chips are not fun (or delicious). Veggies for Veggie Chips This is a short list. Do try whatever you like. Sweet potato Potato (but do try other veggies instead!) Beets Carrots Turnips Parsnips Zucchini Squash Fennel Eggplant Leafy Veggies Spinach Chinese cabbage Kale Also Fresh green beans also work but you need to blanch them first.
Blanching is a process where you briefly cook the vegetables in boiling water for a few minutes (2-4 minutes, depending on how thick the beans are), and then place them in ice water to stop the cooking process. This softens them up for baking.
Be sure to let them dry thoroughly before using them as described below. This Benriner mandolin is inexpensive and does a great job thinly slicing veggies really fast. How to Make Veggie Chips Some product links go to Amazon.com via my affiliate account. Before You Start Preheat oven to 350 (or 375F if veggies are more than 1/16″ thick). Total baking time will be between 10-20 minutes for most veggies but you have to monitor it. Do not leave the kitchen and check your first batches frequently. Bake one type of vegetable at a time to avoid baking time mayhem. Prep Remove any unwanted peels. Wash and dry the veggies. Thinly slice the veggies into 1/16″ thick pieces. I use a mandolin (pictured above). Leafy veggies like spinach, Chinese cabbage, and kale should be torn up into small pieces. Oil and Seasonings Lightly brush on oil, herbs, spices, (anything goes! Paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, rosemary…).
The health goal is to use as little oil as possible while delivering taste and crispness. Place veggies in a single layer on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake Phase 1: Bake in pre-heated 350 (or 375F) oven for 10 minutes.
Examine the chips. Phase 2: Most veggies will need turning over and another 10 minutes (ish) of baking.
Add another light brushing of oil/herbs if needed. TIP: If you’re making veggies chips with root vegetables, during Phase 2, try adding a second baking sheet right on top of the vegetables. This extra heat can help crisp them up nicely. Monitor While Baking Watch for edges to curl or brown slightly.
Done! Cool ’em Place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes. They will get crispy during this time. An extra dash of salt may be the key to deliciousness. There’s only one way to determine your favourites. Experiment with different veggies, seasonings, and baking times and see which ones you like best. Drying Veggies for Soups I use a food dehydrator to dry vegetables for soups. You can dry anything including sweet potatoes, beets, zucchini, carrots…. Follow the instructions provided with the dehydrator. Depending on how you store them, they can last from 4 months to one year. There’s helpful information here on storing dried foods. Add to soups. They plump back up and provide lots of flavour. | FOOD & DRINK |

| How Verizon's Go90 ended up as a mobile-only video service The service, free to everyone regardless of their carrier, has taken a couple of sharp turns on its road to release. The exec in charge shares the story behind Go90 and hints at long-term plans. by Roger Cheng @RogerWCheng September 15, 2015 5:00 AM PDT Updated: September 15, 2015 10:03 AM PDT Verizon executive Marni Walden is in charge of the Go90 mobile video service. CTIA LAS VEGAS -- Verizon is treading into new territory with its Go90 mobile video service. Go90, unveiled last week, is a departure for the New York telecommunications giant in several ways. The service is free and supported by advertisements, rather than requiring a subscription. It's available to anyone, not just Verizon customers, and Go90 won't carry the Verizon logo. Verizon's willingness to embrace a more open approach speaks to the underlying shifts in the mobile industry, in which smaller players such as T-Mobile and Sprint are starting to eat away at Verizon's core business. That insurgency is driving the nation's largest wireless carrier to look at different areas for growth and new business models, which means unique services such as Go90. Verizon sent out 5 million invitations to its customers to give Go90 a try and plans a wider public launch later this month. The service will offer a mix of TV shows, sports and shorter videos found on sites like YouTube. Unlike other so-called over-the top video services such as Netflix that can be viewed on anything from a smartphone to a PC to a Net-connected set-top box, Go90 is aimed only at mobile gear such as phones and tablets. The plan for Go90 didn't start out that way, though. Marni Walden, president of Verizon's product innovation and new businesses unit, sat down with CNET at the CTIA Wireless trade show here last week to share some insights on Go90. A completely different product
Go90 evolved from OnCue, an online video service developed at Intel. When Intel sought to refocus on its core chip business, it unloaded the business to Verizon in January 2014. OnCue was meant to replace traditional television service, with bundles of online channels you could pay for in the range of $60 to $100. Verizon scrapped the idea after taking over. "When you looked at business model, it was just really hard to see how you were going to make that work," Walden said. With Go90, Verizon is trying to ride a generational shift in the way people get their video fixes. Sarah Tew/CNET The OnCue team was initially resistant to going purely mobile because it represented such a radically different direction. But focus-group tests among customers showed the appeal of the service, and the idea of a mobile-only service was set by that summer. Still, Go90 arrives as other services are able to run across multiple devices, from smartphones to streaming set-top boxes to computer browsers. "Everybody else is doing all these other things," she said. "So we very much want to differentiate what our product was going to be about."
Verizon was highly dependent on focus groups to craft the direction of Go90. The company incorporated ways to share video to cater to the social habits of its target audience: people known as millennials, who are typically under the age of 30. "We would watch people consume content, and the very next thing they wanted to do was to have somebody sitting next to them watch it as well," Walden said. "We didn't know how big that was going to be in building the product."Opening Go90 up
When the company made the switch from a subscription model -- its bread-and-butter moneymaker -- to an advertisement-based business, the company knew it had to open the service up. "In order to drive that business model, you need as many eyeballs on the product as you can," Walden said. Some content will be exclusive to Verizon. Its broadcast of NFL games will be available only to Verizon customers, for example, because of the licensing agreement struck between the National Football League and the carrier. For a company known for slapping its brand on everything -- smartphones, billboards, trucks -- it was surprising that the company resisted throwing the Verizon name, or even the color red, on the app. When the company advertises Go90, the commercials won't feature Verizon. Verizon's acquisition of AOL in June has helped shape plans by giving Verizon the ad technology critical to powering the service. Beyond simple advertisements, Walden said, the company plans to roll out sponsored videos that won't eat into your mobile data cap -- a critical consideration in an age when data is limited and customers can be hit with charges for watching too many mobile videos. Walden hinted at more creative ways to deliver short mobile-video ads. Not mobile-only forever?
Go90 is mobile-only for now, but that may not always be the case. Verizon is considering a companion product for the home or other screens, including the browser or a set-top streaming box like Roku's, for some unspecified later date, Walden said. That will largely depend on demand from its viewers. "The idea of being able to go across all screens at some point will be something we'll continue to evaluate," she said.
For now, Walden is focused on ensuring Go90 has a successful launch. "We will only do that," she said, "when we get this first product nailed."

| Contents | Older Blood Moon from Berkeley 27 September 2015 We are currently in Berkeley Ca. I attended a celestial navigation class this evening with some really interesting, friendly folks at Berkeley YC. But without a sextant, I was merely an observer. Whew, shure glad I don't have to take positions all the way to the South Pacific! The reduction tables and plot paper made my head hurt
So after taking sights to the West, we were able to observe the new eclipse to the East. Very cool. Enjoy the pic (credit to some unknown but worthy photographer), which is better than the one I got on my iPad :-) No Comments | Add a comment Add A Comment Your Name Your Email Your Comment Retype the text on the left Contents | Older | OTHERS |

| Marsha P. Johnson Despite grumblings that the late trans activist Marsha P. Johnson, one of the seminal figures in the queer rights movement, doesn’t feature prominently in Stonewall, director Roland Emmerich’s retelling of the riots outside the Greenwich Village bar in June 1969. Everyone will find out when the fact-based drama is released to theaters September 25, but the studio has released this behind-the-scenes clip of actor Otoja Abit as Johnson to calm down the tension. “I was scared at first,” Abit says in a just-released featurette. “It’s a big character and people called her ‘the saint of Christopher Street because of how generous she was to everyone else.” Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays a community activist named Trevor in the film, adds that “without the sacrifice of these kids there would be no rainbow flags flying over clubs” and noted that the titular landmark bar “became a spark to light a whole movement.” Watch the video below.

| At age 12, Lexi Thompson qualified to play in the U.S. Women's Open. That experience planted her desire and determination to one day play on the LPGA Tour and compete among the best. Over the next few years with her dad by her side, as well as two competitive older brothers, she sharpened her skills and increased the length of her golf shots. In 2008, Thompson got the biggest win of her young career at the U.S. Girls' Junior. She improved so much that she was able to turn professional at 15. She bee-lined to the LPGA Tour and has won five times, including her first major championship at the 2014 Kraft Nabisco Championship. Next week, Thompson will be part of her second U.S. Solheim Cup team and will be heading to Germany. The Americans came up short of victory in the most recent edition of the biennial matches, in 2013, for the second straight time. Thompson, who automatically qualified for the team and owns a 1-2-0 career record in the Solheim Cup, said she believes the strong unity of their squad is what will bring home the cup for the United States. ESPN.com: Give us an inside scoop on making the Solheim Cup team. What has been the first thing that has happened so far? Thompson: There really hasn't been too much that has happened so far, just team talks, or group gatherings. We have a great team, and to have Juli Inkster as our captain, it's a huge honor. She's been one of my role models. To have her as my Solheim Cup captain is unbelievable. We have a great team heading to Germany, so hopefully we'll get that cup back. What do you think the difference will be going overseas this year compared to being home in 2013? It definitely will be different. I don't think there will be as many USA chants going on. I think we will get a pretty good crowd over there. I've been to Germany once before for the German Open and they love their golf over there. I think it will be a fair crowd, but we are going to have to play our best, and bring our A-game. We are there to win, but to come together as a team is what we want to do. What was it like looking back on 2013? It was an amazing experience; probably the most nervous I've ever been on the few shots besides my U.S. Women's Open at age 12. In 2013, when I teed off, I didn't have the crowd settled down, I just had them cheer while I was hitting. It was so much excitement and adrenaline running through me. It was a mess. Going up to every green, hearing 'USA' chants, and having people cheer you on. Words can't even really describe it. I know we didn't end up winning, but it was an amazing experience, and we all learned from it and what we needed to work on from it. Can you give us any stories that you remember from the team room, or after the matches? I know we had some inside jokes, but I think a few of us were pretty nervous on the first tee and had a few issues walking through the second shot on No. 1. ... Besides that, I don't know. What would you guys do at night? We would all just get together in our team room, and have dinner and play ping pong. They had a basketball thing set up for us. Basically, just all hang out and joke around, and be relaxed. It's a very stressful situation out on the golf course with the amount of pressure of playing for your country. So we would all get together and recap on the day, what we did good and what we needed to improve on. It was a lot of fun. If you were captain of the Solheim Cup team, what would be a couple things you would make sure to do? I really think the whole thing with team events is about matching each other's games up correctly, but it's also personalities. Golf is such an individual sport, you have to make sure that your players have similar personalities, and that they get along, and they will do whatever it takes for the other player to play better, or be positive even when they are struggling. To keep them pumped up during the whole day. I think it's all about teaming up the right players, and getting along with each other. I think the team that we have is amazing with that. How would you assess the season so far heading into the last major of 2015, this week's Evian Championship? I think it's been a very successful year for me. Coming into the year, what I wanted was to be on the Solheim Cup team, which is coming up. Overall, just playing more consistently. I had a little bit of a rough start in the beginning where I wasn't playing that well. I just tried to stay confident with it, and work on my game a lot, work out a lot, and tried to stay positive. It came around with patience and I started getting a few top-10s, and then I got the win at Meijer LPGA Classic, which is a huge confidence booster. It's been a great year. Overall, I'm very happy about it. You had a fantastic week recently at the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic, finishing tied for fourth. How would you recap the weekend and being in contention like that? It's always a great feeling being in contention, knowing you have a chance of winning. That's obviously my No. 1 goal going into the week, to win the tournament, but I'm just trying to do my best. Coming down the stretch knowing you have a chance is always what an athlete wants. To have the nerves, to have the excitement, to pull the shots off under pressure, there is no better feeling. Looking back on those shots, and being in the moment with your caddie, what do you remember about that? Last week, I hit a lot of good shots during the whole week. I left a few putts out there, but overall I hit a lot of good putts, too. I just had a few misreads that were a little off, but I pulled off a lot of good shots that gave me the opportunities. I came up a few short from Kris Tamulis, but it's hard to beat when someone goes out and shoots a 65 on the last day. With your extensive travel, what are the keys for you to maintain a high level of play for yourself, and to stay consistent week after week? I think it's very important to work out while you're on the road, staying physically fit. Making sure that you are ready for long days, because there can be extremely long days on the golf course, whether it's dealing with really hot weather, or bad conditions, or with rain delays. You just have to be ready for super long days. Also, working on the mental side of the game, being mentally prepared for any situation out on the golf course. Trying to stay confident, even if you are struggling. Overall, just having a positive mindset. There is the working on your game. You have to keep on practicing, and keep improving on your game and staying consistent with it. How do you work on your mental game to stay positive? I've been working with John Denny, down in South Florida, and we have been focusing a lot on breathing exercises. I'm focusing on making sure I'm ready for each shot, and doing my pre-shot routine and visualizing the shot I want to hit and fully committing. Golf Digest featured you on the cover of their fitness and power Issue. You were bare-chested, with a white jacket draped around your neck. What kind of reaction did you get from people and fans, as well as peers? I got a lot of positive feedback from it. I loved doing the shoot. It was a huge honor for me to be on the Golf Digest fitness issue. And to work with Walter Iooss Jr., it was huge opportunity for me. Not only to represent women in golf, but women in general. Just to represent that strength is a lot of beauty now. We did a lot of different looks. We did a lot of work out tank tops, and gym shorts or yoga pants, and I just felt like that shot showed the strongest and that was the most appealing. You have two brothers that play high-level golf; Nicholas Thompson on the PGA Tour and Curtis Thompson on the Web.com Tour. What was it like growing up in that family, and how did you all become such strong players? I started golfing when I was 5, and I lived on a golf course. But right when I started, they were already into golf. They had already started a few years ago, so growing up and getting to watch them play, and being able to learn from them and following their footsteps, basically, it was great for me. I always played other sports too, but I loved golf. I grew up around it. To have two older brothers to be able to mentor me and help me out whether it was with golf or life in general, it was amazing. They made me a lot stronger of a person, and a strong competitor on the golf course. What are your keys to putting? Practicing, for me, I try to make it as productive as I can. Whether it's putting drills, just to give me confidence to see the ball go in the hole, and making sure I'm putting a good solid stroke on it every time. And then lag putting, making sure I do my routine on every putt and focusing on my speed. When I'm on the golf course, I have a pretty set routine with my putting; reading the putt from the other side of the hole, the low side and behind my ball. Then, I like to visualize my line going into the hole, and how I want my putt to roll in. Basically, once I get lined up where I want to, I just say to myself that I'm going to hit a good putt here, and put as good of a stroke as I can on it. How about for pitching and chipping? Pitching, I do a lot of yardage practice. I'll go out to the range, or just practice playing. I'll go out to certain yardages and hit a few pitch shots from there. If I get on the range, I'll take a few cones out and put it at 30 yards, 40 yards, and just keep going up to 70 or 80 yards. I'll just practice at landing the ball at each cone. Chipping, I basically dump out a bunch of golf balls around the chipping green, and practice different chip shots, and get a feel for different shots around the green. And for pitching, I usually have a certain length golf swing for each yardage. And I choke up a little bit more on my pitching and chipping just to get a better feel for it. That's probably been the biggest help for me. | SPORTS |

Everton Under-18s maintained their 100 per cent start to the season as they came from behind to win at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Trailing to a first-half goal, the young Blues rallied after the break and got back in the contest when winger Michael Donohue struck his second of the season to pull his side level. And, whatever coach Paul Tait and his staff had said to the players at half-time clearly had an effect as, following their victories over Manchester United, Sunderland and Stoke City, Everton made it four straight victories when midfielder Jack Bainbridge fired in to seal another three-point haul. The young Blues will put their faultless record on the line again when they welcome Liverpool to Finch Farm for a mini-derby on Saturday 19 September. | SPORTS |

| Some directors want to adjourn a petition in the same way that they’d approach a casino table – a fast shake of the dice. The odds need to be stacked in your favour if you have a winding up petition on your company. It is no good at all to either ask for more time or dispute the debt if the winding up petition has followed a judgement such as a CCJ. There would be a high probability that the Judge will wind the company up – and you thought that he would adjourn a petition with a good barrister representing your case! If you want to adjourn a petition then you need to provide information for the Judge in line with the parameters that he’d like to hear. You do not want him to think that you are throwing the dice in his court in the biggest gamble of your life. Call TaxGone on 01302 815846 and let us keep your company safe.

Stephen Greene is a teacher, teacher trainer and materials developer with nearly 20 years’ experience. He has taught people of all ages and abilities all around the world, including in Taiwan, Poland, Rio de Janeiro and the UK. He is now based in Curitiba in the south of Brazil where he writes a blog about bringing up a bilingual child at headoftheheard.com. This is the first article of a three-part IELTS series, exploring the basics of helping your students through their IELTS exam.
As with most things in life, the key to a successful IELTS course is in the preparation. If you have a clear idea of what you and your students need to do from the outset then you are far more likely to help your students achieve their goals than if you have no plan at all. Likewise, as the expression goes, first impressions last, so if you can impress your students in the first few classes, then they are more likely to trust you for the rest of the course.
It is important to have as much information at your disposal as possible before the course actually starts. This will help you to prepare properly and show your students that you really do know what you are talking about. I have added a number of questions for each of the points listed below, but the answers will often depend on your own context. Where possible, I have included some links which might help you to start finding your own answers.
Know the exam
If this is the first time your students have attempted the IELTS exam then they are likely to be very anxious about what it entails and what they will be required to do. Some questions students might have include: How many papers are there? How does the scoring system work? Which is the most difficult part of the exam? What’s the difference between the General exam and the Academic one?
As well as knowing the ins and outs of the exam, you will also need to know how students go about taking it. Questions they might have include: Where is the nearest exam centre? When are the exams being held? When is the registration deadline? How long does it take to get the results? How much does it cost?
The official IELTS site has some excellent information for both teachers and students, as does the British Council site.
Know your students
It isn’t always possible to find out a lot of information about your students until the course actually starts, so you will probably need to do some fact finding in the first few classes. As well as the usual information about the number of students in the class, their ages and backgrounds, some questions you might want to ask yourself include: Have they taken the exam before? What score do they need? Why are they taking the exam? Where do they hope to study after the exam? What do they hope to study?
Know your timetable
There is a lot to cover in an IELTS course, so make sure you have enough time to pack everything in. While your school might have its own natural rhythm, this might not fit with the dates of exams in your local centre. Questions to ask include: When are the exams? How long is the course? What do I need to focus on?
Find your local exam centre and get in touch to find out their exam dates and requirements.
Know your material
Whatever course you are running, you will need to be very familiar with the material you are using. With IELTS, this is even more key as time is such an issue. As well as a coursebook, you might need to use extra material, such as practice tests (which you can find here) or online material. Some questions to answer include: Is the material relevant to your students? Where can I find supplementary material? In my next article (on the blog next week), I’ll be sharing some of the free online material I use in my classes. Specifically, I’ll explore lexis, Part One of the Writing paper and the Yes/No/Not given questions commonly found in the reading paper.

| 16th September 2015 Below is a link by www.livemint.com, to a riveting read on Rocket's Foodpanda business in India. It's a real page-scroller with claims of dodgy cupcake orders, related party transactions, ghost restaurants and shambolic controls. The trouble with Foodpanda Sunny Goel seems to be on Foodpanda India's most wanted list. Most wanted for reportedly setting up 70 fake restaurants. If I was an investor in Rocket, it would be enough to put me off my Foodpanda order. Fortunately, I am short. Incidentally, according to Rocket's 2014 report, Foodpanda racked up an impressive €6.7 million in revenue and a €38.5 million EBITDA loss during 2014. Which is obviously why it was reportedly valued at €403.8 million, with Rocket's share being 52.1% or €210.5 million. Hmm .... Foodpanda valuation

| I scoured the biscuit aisle of three different supermarkets over the weekend looking for Fox's Sports biscuits. These biscuits bring back wonderful memories of staying with my grandparents as a child. In the last supermarket, Asda. I asked a young menial who was stacking the shelves if he had any Sports biscuits, "I'll just go and av a look in back for yer" five minutes later he returned, as he was walking towards me, I noticed he was very well endowed in the trouser department, I could see it bobbing about with each stride. "what were they called again?" he asked. For a few seconds I'd forgotten myself what they were called, when my brain eventually caught up with my eyes I told him. A passer-by who had been listening, told me they haven't sold them in here for years and that I'd find 'em in Erons' if you're not familiar with Heron it's a Northern frozen food shop a bit like Iceland. So off to Heron I went. Not only did they sell Sports biscuits there, they also sold Arrowroot biscuits 42p I was thrilled. No Lincolns though. I could see the sales assistant at the till looking me up and down through narrow eyes. "The coat is Tom Ford, love and you're right, I don't normally shop here, whilst mentally striking her on the back of the head with a bag of oven chips. | ENTERTAINMENT |

| It seems like more and more people are taking advantage of Furman Park's updated track and I think that is a good thing. Whether you walk or run (I walk)....we all know it is good for us. I personally appreciate the convenience of having a park close to home.
According to the website Alliance for a healthier generation: Less than 60% of adults are physically active on a regular basis, and 25% aren’t active at all. Inactive individuals have a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. Looking specifically at California, 30.4% of our kids are overweight or obese. | COMMUNITY & LIFESTYLE |

| It was a big day for Cowboy the horse when he retired from being the LAPD’s mounted platoon after 18 years.
Cowboy, a 21-year-old horse who joined the force back when he was 3, was a very special horse often chosen to work with the new recruits.
“You need good horses, which you call a school horse, to be able to tolerate a person who doesn’t know really what they are doing,” LAPD Officer Joe Willey, the head trainer for the department, told CBS Los Angeles.
This beloved horse will continue to put his talent to good use for another important job. Cowboy will work with children and young adults who suffer from disabilities at California’s Move a Child Higher, Inc.
A horse’s ability to help people has been proven time and time again. For example, there’s the remarkable story of the boy who came out of his shell after spending time with a horse at Bright Hope Riders in Indiana. And it’s hard to forget about the horses who help the horses who help veterans overcome their post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at Boulder Crest Retreat in Virginia.
Cowboy will provide the same relief to those at Move a Child Higher.
“They bring a lot of courage to our kids, especially knowing where they’ve come from and what they’ve done,” said founder Joy Rittenhouse.
Watch below and please SHARE if this one-of-a-kind horse stole your heart!

| Our body goes through various sign and symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression, dizziness. These are a sign of imbalance within the nervous system called the Autonomic Nervous system. This system controls your everyday body funtion. The well known sympathetic nervous system regulates the fight or flight. The opposite parasympathetics nervous system regulates rest and digest. Each of these system constantly regulating each other to keep the balance. If one system gets predominant, then you start experiencing different signs and symptoms. I have a common list of situations causing symptoms, and illness that will experience. Most people have a multiple combination of health conditions that are going on, so it will not always be clear as black and white. This list shall give you an example and if you have any of the following list and have questions about them, please contact our office at info@zenchiropracticinc.com for more information.
People who have imbalances in these systems may have a clinic situation that may helped with Chiropractic. In our office we monitor these autonomic nervous systems and find a solution to create balance between to the two systems.
Under Normal Circumstances, the Sympathetic Nervous System promotes the ability to be active and the defense mechanism of fight or flight.
Sympathetic Nervous System increases vigilance and arousal to quickly notice and respond to danger.
Symptoms: Hyper-vigilance; startling easily ;nervousness ;anxiety; fear;
Illness: Chronic or severe anxiety; panic attacks
Sympathetic Nervous System increases blood pressure to get blood to the brain and vital organs:
Symptoms: White coat high blood pressure
Illness: Hypertension, strokes from prolonged high blood pressure, heart disease; heart attacks
Sympathetic Nervous System increases heart rate to circulate fuel and oxygen to vital organs for activity and defense:
Symptoms: Fast heart rate
Illness: Fast arrhythmia
Sympathetic Nervous System increases fuel availability (sugar, fats...) to the brain, muscles and other organs you need it during exercise and defense. Because insulin promotes food storage
Symptoms: High blood sugar; high cholesterol; low insulin;
Illness: Type 1 diabetes, with increased risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease,...; hypercholesterolemia
Sympathetic Nervous System increases adrenaline to facilitate changes in blood pressure, heart rate etc
Symptoms: shakiness; palpitations; butterflies in the stomach; difficulty concentrating
Illness: chronic anxiety, panic, hypertension, and others listed here
Sympathetic Nervous System increases oxygen circulation to vital organs to provide fuel for activity and defense while decreasing circulation to non-vital organs such as skin, the extremities
Symptoms: Cold hands and feet ;headaches
Illness: Peripheral neuropathy
Sympathetic Nervous System increases blood clotting ,which minimizes blood loss if wounded during defense such as fight/flight
Symptoms: Strokes; clotting disorders
Illness: Strokes
Sympathetic Nervous System increases pupil size and peripheral vision to maximize awareness of sources of potential danger
Symptoms: Blurry vision when trying to focus on narrow vision
Illness: Prolonged visual changes
Under Normal Circumstances, the Parasympathetic Nervous System promotes the ability for rest and digest. Such as recover, digest, play, and create. The symptoms and illnesses include: depression, weight gain, dizziness and light headedness, low blood pressure, low heart rate, fatigue, diarrhea.
Parasympathetic Nervous System decreases clarity of thought as a part of a numbing process to avoid pain and overwhelming emotions.
Symptoms: foggy thinking, confusion, slowed thinking, difficulty organizing thoughts
Illness: depression, numbness
Parasympathetic Nervous System decreases blood pressure in times of safety, and decreases it even further to save energy when survival is at stake.
Symptoms: low blood pressure; dizziness - light headedness
Parasympathetic Nervous System decreases heart rate, which is associated with the ability to feel calm, to bond, and to be in relationship. In times of grave threat, heart rate is decreased further to save energy through a state of immobility.
Symptoms: slow heart rate
Illness: slow arrhythmia; sudden death; ventricular fibrillation
Parasympathetic Nervous System increases fuel storage (sugar, fats...) in the body, which serves as a reserve for times of scarcity. The Parasympathetic Nervous system promotes the secretion of insulin and makes tissues sensitive to insulin to promote the storage of glucose in particular.
Symptoms: low blood sugar; low cholesterol; high insulin; weight gain
Illness: obesity; hypoglycemia
Parasympathetic Nervous System increases oxygen circulation to non-vital organs in times of safety. Provides fuel and removes wastes from the skin, the extremities, the digestive tract, reproductive organs....; In times of grave threat, shuts down metabolism to save energy until the threat is gone. Some of these activities are similar to Sympathetic nervous system processes and may be difficult to differentiate.
Symptoms: difficulty thinking; increased or decreased intestinal activity (diarrhea; slowed gastric emptying)
Illness: peripheral neuropathy

| A private hospital, which is based in the Ikotun Egbe area of Lagos, detained Jessica Ugwuoke since August 12, 2015, after the woman and her relatives said they could not afford to pay the bill for her Caesarean section (CS).
Mrs. Ugwuoke was transferred from a maternity clinic to Samaria Hospital, which is located on Kudaki Road near Hostel bus stop in Egbe, Lagos State. The patient’s husband, Tochukwu Ugwuoke, was asked to pay N30,000 for blood transfusion into his wife, reported to have lost a lot of blood during labor. The couple’s baby died.
After the loss of her child, Mrs. Ugwuoke has been detained by the hospital for failure to pay the hospital’s bills, which came to N285,000. The detained patient told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that the couple was not informed of the cost of the Caesarean section until after the surgery.
According to her, one Dr. Clem ordered that she be denied a hospital bed and refused her further treatment after her surgery because she and her husband could not pay the amount of the bill.
“The day they discharged me from the bed, Dr. Clem asked me to tell my husband to bring his money even if he [my husband] has to steal,” the woman said. “I have been lying down on the passageway,” Mrs. Ugwuoke added. SaharaReporters learned that the detained patient’s husband, who is currently unemployed, had pleaded with the hospital to release his wife, promising to seek a loan to pay her hospital expenses, but the hospital declined his request.
Mrs. Ugwuoke, who is chained to a urinal pipe to forestall her escape, described her treatment as dehumanizing. She pleaded with the Lagos State government and human rights organizations to intervene to ensure her release. | COMMUNITY & LIFESTYLE |

| Chicago Now reports:Rideshare services such as UberX and Lyft are booming in Chicago. But like anything else making money on their turf, Chicago politicians want a bigger cut.
Alderman Ed Burke, 14th Ward, persuaded Mayor Rahm Emanuel to include a $1-per-ride surcharge on cab rides and rideshare services as part of the mayor’s proposed package of tax increases for 2016 – the largest tax hike in modern Chicago history. Burke estimates the surcharge would raise $70 million annually.
Uber spokesperson Brooke Anderson confirms the new tax would be the highest tax on rideshare services in the nation.
But that’s not enough for Burke. He and Alderman Anthony Beale, 9th Ward, proposed on Sept. 11 additional taxes on rideshare services for surge pricing. (In order to entice more drivers to meet “surges” of demand, Uber and Lyft raise the price of rides during these times.)
Burke and Beale want the new tax to surge, too. If Uber doubles prices during inclement weather to get more drivers on the road, for example, the $1 tax will double to $2 per ride. The surge taxes wouldn’t apply to traditional taxis because the city sets their fares, and their prices don’t fluctuate in response to demand.
So what’s with Burke’s rideshare vendetta? He and Beale also introduced an ordinance last year that would have heavily restricted ridesharing in the Windy City. It failed to pass.
Burke has a history of financial ties to the city’s taxi industry – yet votes on the rules that govern it.
“Taxi Work Drives Burke Into Latest Conflict Corner,” reads a March 1997 headline by Greg Hinz at Crain’s Chicago Business. Hinz found that while Finance Committee Chairman Burke’s law firm had business with Chicago’s largest cab company, Yellow Cab, Chicago’s City Council voted three separate times to boost taxi fares to the benefit of cab companies’ bottom lines.Alderman Burke : America's most "conflicted " politician.

| The small village of Trellech provides much to excite the antiquarian. Its curiosities being forever immortalised in the 17th century sundial in the church. The most obvious is the Tump Turret, a large mound once a Norman motte and bailey castle. However, a local myth states that this was the burial mound in a battle between Harold Godwinson and the opposing Welsh in Gwent in 1063. This claim is also given to three large conglomerate stone monoliths. Here folklore states that three chieftains fell in that battle with Harold. Another theory is that they were arranged to indicate local springs and that is significant in consideration of the village’s most famed site – St Anne’s or the Virtuous Well.
The springhead arises in a horseshoe shaped stone built well enclosure. Stone benches are set up either side along the curved walls of a small paved courtyard. The spring arises in the arched recess through a stone basin. There are two squared niches in the rear wall which may have been used to place offerings. Although the stone work is medieval in date it has gone through periods of dereliction as noted by 19th century writer W. H. Thomas described it as ‘neglected fountain’ and the owner needed to ‘cleanse out its channels and invite guests to a festival of health’ as well as ‘rebuild its ruined walls’. Sir Joseph Bradney’s History of Monmouthshire (1913) shows the walls overgrown, soil virtually reaching the wall and the central forecourt flooded. It was fortunately the advice was headed and it was restored, the last time fully in 1951 for the Festival of Britain. A local legend claims that the water is connected to Tintern Abbey by a three mile tunnel, but this is more likely a confusion between the discovery of drainage channels and the knowledge that the Abbey owned property in the area.
Curative waters
Although not apparent today, the spring is a chalybeate one. In the 18th and 19th centuries the unpleasant-tasting water was considered especially beneficial for eye ailments and according to Edward Lhuyd (1660-1709)
‘very medicinall to such as to have the scurvy, collick and distempers’
and 'complaints peculiar to women'. These wide range of powers owed it the name the Virtuous Well, a convenient name to re-focus from any popish reflections. Furthermore the spring is one of the traditional locations for the hanging of cloutties, which dipped in the water and rubbed on the skin, took away the affliction as it rotted on the trees around. Cloutties are the only evidence today of veneration at this site regularly seen however there were none there when I visited last in a snowy January.
Well wishing
The commonest form of well-wishing here was that by throwing a stone into the water, a maiden could find out by the number of bubbles how many months it would take to be married. Other folk would throw a stone which by the number of bubbles rising would indicate whether the wish would be granted.
A well for the fairies
The well was said also to be the haunt of fairies who were particularly visible in Midsummer. A local legend tells how a farmer dug up a fairy ring near to the well and the next day found the well dry which never happened. However it was clear that to others it had water and that it only happened to him, the other villagers could draw water! Finally he was told by an old man sitting on a wall that if he returned the ring he would be able to withdraw water – he did and the water was restored to him.
Another story tells of a witch who displeased with the suitor of her daughter sent him to the well where he was pulled into the water. After a struggle, three times over, he escaped and running back to the house saw the mother as an evil witch stirring a pot and he ran! | CULTURE & ARTS |

| Is your child going back to school next week (or this week)? Then you may need a new laptop to send with them. Most high school and university students require a laptop to complete their assignments, do research, and write papers. The Source Canada has discounted the Acer Aspire ES1512C2FA 15.6″ laptop from $399.99 down to just $299.99 with free shipping . This laptop is a great basic for back to school shopping.
Click here to purchase a new laptop @ The Source Canada now
If your kid wants a computer, it is best to not spend a fortune on a new laptop that will be covered in Coke and Doritos most the time. This Acer Aspire laptop has everything they need at a price that you can handle. The laptop has Intel N2840 dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, and it comes with Windows 8.1. All Windows 8.1 systems qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 10. From my experience, Windows 10 is superior to Windows 8.1, thus you will want to upgrade the computer as soon as you get it.
Now, I price compared this exact laptop with other online retailers. It currently costs $328 @ Walmart Canada, $399.99 @ Tiger Direct Canada, and $419.99 at Visions. This laptop also has very pleased reviews for an inexpensive unit:
very good laptop with a lot of power for his price i would recommend you this its very nice!
and…
I mostly use it for browsing online and its good and fast I’m extremely happy with this and will recommend it to anyone.
Laptops have a life cycle of about four years these days. Most of my laptops have blown their hard drive before their fifth birthday so I give my current laptop another one to two years before it decides to flip its lid. I know that there are $1000 laptops out there, but most of us cannot throw $1000 at a laptop every four years… it just becomes a very expensive hobby for something we generally need for work, business, school, and communication. However, $300 is an easy price to swallow as – over four years – that works out to around $75 per year or only $6.25 per month if your computer were to last exactly four years.
I do not often post laptop deals as they tend to be larger purchases that people only make every few years. However, this deal just seemed nice enough to warrant your attention.

Her noble line ended. And the King’s Reaper has come to reclaim her land and her home. In the marches of Aedaron, only one thing is for certain. All keeps of the old world must fall. Elinor struggles to find her place in the new world. She once dreamed of great things. Of becoming a hero in the ways of the old world. But now she is a Reaper. And her duty is clear. Destroy the old. Herald the new. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ EXCERPT The girl stared directly into Elinor's eyes. There was no hysteria, and no more tears. Just sadness matched with a hard, cold determination. “For the murder.” At the word, Elinor felt a cold inside her that had nothing to do with the chilling rain. “They were attacked by bandits.” “They were not killed by mere bandits,” she hissed. “My father was a tempered razor of the Aegis School. He was a match for a dozen armed men. Perhaps more. That is no exaggeration.” She stared into Elinor's eyes with a fierce intensity. “The death of my father and Lady Lliane was no accident. It was an assassination.” “Stop,” Elinor commanded. She looked around to be sure there were none of Piersym's razors nearby. Two were outside, but on the far side of the tower. Elinor assumed that over the rain, they wouldn't have heard what the girl said. “You don't believe me?” Tae asked, the hurt clear in her eyes. Elinor moved close, until they were almost nose to nose. Her voice was quiet, but carried a sharp edge of intensity. “It is not about belief,” Elinor said, holding the girl with her gaze. “You must be careful what you say. Some things once said, cannot be unsaid.” Tae looked confused and Elinor continued on. “If you make an accusation, you turn your home into a den of wolves.” She shifted her eyes in the direction of the Hearthfire razors on the far end of the parapet. “And these wolves will not allow you to escape if they believe you threaten them.” The girl frowned, but shook her head defiantly. “But you said it yourself. You fought every day for what you believed in. How is this any different than the rendworms?” “Because this is not a fight you can win, Tae,” Elinor said. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AUTHOR Bio and Links: Mark and Joe have been writing and telling stories together for the last 25 years.

| The #21 Minnesota Golden Gophers Volleyball team goes on the road to start the Big Ten season today. The Season so Far
Via Twitter.com/GopherVBall/media
Results
After a 0-2 start to the season with losses at the Stanford Invite to Texas A&M and Stanford (currently ranked #32 and #8 respectively) the Minnesota Volleyball team has been on the rise, winning 8 straight to improve to 8-2. Better yet, the last 7 games have been won in straight sets! This impressive streak has been noticed on the Gophers are now ranked #21 in the nation for the Coaches Poll. But that was non-con, and today is the start of the Big Ten season, and the Big Ten is perhaps the premiere volleyball conference with 8 teams in the top 25 (Minnesota 7th highest.) and two just outside the top 25. The Gophers will play two of the best this week, Ohio State today & Penn State on Saturday.

Awards
The play of individual Gopher players has not gone unnoticed. Setter Samantha Seliger-Swenson and libero Dalianliz Rosado were awarded the B1G setter and defenseive player of the week awards on September 7th. Seliger-Swenson also recieved the B1G's freshmen of the week honor that week. The next week Daly Santana, who has been a force to be reckon with this year, recived the B1G's Co-Big Ten Player of the week (she was also the MVP of the Diet Coke Classic)while Seliger-Swenson again recieved the freshmen of the week honor. Seliger-Swenson would make it three in a row on September 21st when she was again named Big Ten Freshman of the week.
For the third-straight week, Seliger-Swenson garners B1G honors. Read more about it here. http://t.co/NYI4svFS56 pic.twitter.com/XonCAOfA7v

Big Ten Play
Via Twitter.com/GopherVBall
@ Ohio State - Wednesday, September 23rd - 6:00 pm Central (BTN Plus)
The Ohio State are good, no doubt about it. The Buckeyes are ranked #12 in the nation and are second atop of the Big Ten conference with their 11-1 record having won the last 11 in a row. Their only loss game was their season opener at Wyoming, who are now ranked #27, in a 3-1 match. Three of the Buckeye wins have come over presently ranked teams, with two wins over #17 Florida State and one win over #14 Arizona. This will be a tough match, especially on the road.
Via Twitter.com/GopherVBall
@ Penn State - Saturday, September 26th - 7 pm Central (BTN Plus)
What's tougher than Ohio State on the road? Penn State on the road....or anywhere. Penn State sits atop the Big Ten leader board with a perfect 11-0 record and are the consensus #1 team in the nation. They are a dynasty. The good thing is that they have to take on #16 Wisconsin today, so maybe the Badgers can do the Gopher's a solid and tire them out.
So how can Minnesota find a way to win this weekend. First, be inspired by the Gopher Soccer team which beat both of these schools (#20 & #4 at the time) last weekend, both on the road. Second, with plays like this.
Check out this great save by @AlyssaGoehner as she's our WOW this week. http://t.co/ijXkaZuw0M

....What I can’t let go of is the arrogant American ignorance fueling this gag. It wasn’t funny. It was just stupid — but stupid in a way that celebrates and perpetuates pretty much everything that’s wrong with who we are.
The humor in the joke was, of course, that it brought a “civilized,” technologically advanced perspective — our perspective, as smart-phone wielding American spectator-consumers — to bear on the delusional rituals of savages. Snort, snort. They think some dumb dance is going to make it rain. Not only is this cheap, bully humor, perpetrating a sense of feel-good superiority, it’s cluelessly Newtonian in a quantum world. The losers here are the ones trapped in linear thinking, who assume they understand a viewpoint about which they, in fact, know nothing.
...“Humanity has entered a time of profound change,” proclaims a website called Great Transition Stories. “We are pushed by necessity and pulled by opportunity. ....... . . The pull is the opportunity to rise to a new level of human maturity, partnership and freedom. . . .
“It is vital that the human community come together. . . .”
This coming together is not a simplistic sort of acceptance or tolerance of other worldviews, e.g., the technologically advanced West benignly welcoming the primitives among us into the community of nations. The West — the planet’s colonizers and bullies — has to do something far more profound. It has to arrest its sense of superiority and let go of what it thinks it knows, in particular that we live in a linear, mechanical, cause-and-effect universe, full of separate objects — “facts” — that are disconnected, inert and awaiting our exploitation. We have to start relearning the nature of things.
Quantum physics, the cutting edge of Western science, has known for a while now that we don’t live in a mechanical universe. The universe is energy — spirit.
As physicist David Peat writes in his book Blackfoot Physics: “. . . scientists who have been struggling at the leading edge of their topics have created ideas that resonate with those of Indigenous science. For example: Quantum theory stresses the irreducible link between observer and observed and the basic holism of all phenomena. So too, Native Science holds that there is no separation between individual and society, between matter and spirit, between each one of us and the whole of nature.”
Such words start to deconstruct the joke. Maybe a rain dance isn’t meant to be an action as linear as turning on a faucet, but rather a joyous, intense means of participation with the universe. Perhaps there is no dividing line between human beings and the rest of the universe, and what they do, if that action emerges from their depths, has a quality as natural as thunder or rain.
I say this not with any sort of expertise in indigenous knowledge, but simply as someone who is trying to push himself — within the limits of my language and culture — to the edge of what I think I know. The universe is a living organism. What does this mean?
.....We’ve forgotten how to live with helpless awe, how to subordinate our knowing to our awareness of the unfathomable. Most of all, we’ve forgotten how to dance with it. | CULTURE & ARTS |
