We all knew that we would be here didn't we. Ever since the BC loss, it was apparent that the Terps wouldn't do enough to get on the right side of the bubble.
There were plenty of frustrations along the way, but the Terps played their best basketball at the end of the season. That's encouraging.
Overall, things are looking up. Ye [...] Read More »
Duke always seems to stand in the way don't they? This Terps team is incredibly flawed. We've chronicled it ad nauseum on this site. Still, we'll show up tonight at 7pm hoping against hope that the Terps can turn in a performance in Greensboro that we haven't seen in a decade.
This would be a fantastic time to put it together w [...] Read More »
The calculus could not be simpler. Win and the quest for an NCAA berth continues. Lose and the dream of an at-large berth is over.
If the team can't seem to find their focus based on the above, then forget the season anyway. Winning on the road is hard no matter where it is, but Maryland faces two bottom of the conference teams [...] Read More »
This is the classic letdown game if ever there was one. Everyone knows it. The fans, the coaches, the players (maybe, hopefully). What can be done to prevent it?
Well, for one thing, Maryland needs to feed the post. Alex Len demonstrated on Saturday why he is a likely Lottery Pick in June. If BC chooses to double-team hi [...] Read More »
The season is almost over and I get the sense that Maryland is still trying to find its identity. That's one of their key problems. The Terps don't know who they are or what they do well.
Wells and Faust want to get out and run yet the Terps are a dominant rebounding team which lends itself to the halfcourt offense. Unfortunate [...] Read More »
The importance of today's game can't be overstated. The Terps are likely going to fighting for the 5th at-large ACC bid with the Cavaliers. That means that Maryland must at a minimum split the series with them.
Virginia is coming off a 37-point drubbing of Clemson. Yes, 37 points. UVA has had a relatively weak non-conference schedul [...] Read More »
Every game from here on out is critical for the Terps--especially the road games. Va Tech is not a good team. Maryland wiped the court with them last month in Comcast. It's fair to expect a much closer affair in Blacksburg tonight; but anything less than a win is unacceptable.
The Terps need an undefeated week in the worst way [...] Read More »
For the second time this month, I find myself in Las Vegas at a sales conference while Maryland is playing Florida State. Lets hope the outcome is different.
The second half of that game was the beginning of the downward spiral for the Terps. Lowlights included 13 straight missed shots as Maryland frittered away 12 point lead.
No [...] Read More »
The Terps head to Cameron today to take on a Duke squad that is licking its wounds after a pasting vs. Miami earlier in the week. That game should give the Terps encouragement. Not only does it make Duke look beatable, but it also gives the Terps a better feeling about their loss to Miami.
That loss was one of the worst games I've e [...] Read More »

text: - James F. Brown (1793-1868) was the ex-slave gardener of the Verplanck family at Mount Gulian, Fishkill, New York. Brown was a runaway slave from Maryland, and the Verplancks purchased his time after he was found by his master. The collection consists of 8 diaries, 1829-1866, during which time Brown was gardener for the Verplanck family; 1 receipt book, 1832-1857, recording some personal and household expenses, although most entries are unspecified; and 1 memorandum book, 1827-1843. Entries in the diaries are brief, with little elaboration, and pertain to such matters as the weather, local deaths, his gardening activities, the passage of boats on the Hudson, etc. The diaries are not entirely chronological, as in several instances the entries for a year have been copied into a later volume.

[Overseas Customers ..... be aware that purchasing several items in one order may result in an initial shipping overcharge, which is always refunded after posting]
'Little Dancer' (Green polka dot ) is one of several small mixed media art dolls in my LITTLE DANCER series. The upper body is handmade from earthenware clay, glazed in green and white stripes and clutches a little heart. Garland in hair and an integral wire hanger. The little skirt made from vintage 1930s French cotton organdie fabric. The skirt is gathered at the waist by a simple running stitch. There is no further stitching. These pieces are made primarily to show the fabric and the ceramics, not needlework or embellishment. The legs are made from strong cotton covered wire. They can be bent to 'pose' the doll if required. The matching shoes are my handmade ceramic beads. Each doll has her own character, colours, and individual expression.
Measurements: 22cm tall from head to foot, excluding hanging thread.
Handmade from start to finish in my studio in Norfolk, England. Formed from earthenware clay, left to dry for days, then bisque fired to 1040 degrees. The piece is then taken from the cooled kiln and painted in minute detail by hand with coloured glazes before firing a second time to finish the ceramic part.
Then the fabric, legs and shoes are added to complete the doll.
The colours on these pieces just sing out and there is a huge amount of detail in each one. Each is unique, quirky and unusual.
The doll is a piece of art. It is not meant to be handled excessively, or played with by a child.
The piece bears my potter's mark.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The debate over national health care reform has moved to the California Legislature, which this week will begin taking the initial steps to implement the complex series of overhauls prescribed by the federal government.
More than 20 bills have been introduced and as many as a dozen might be voted on this week as lawmakers face a deadline to pass bills out of their house of origin.
Because of California's sheer size, its implementation of the new law could serve as a model for other states. The state has 8.2 million uninsured residents, nearly equivalent to the population of New Jersey. The number has ballooned in recent years as Californians lost jobs and health insurance due to the recession.
The bills seek to enact reforms signed into law by President Barack Obama in March. Among other changes, they would prohibit health insurers from denying coverage because of pre-existing conditions and create an exchange through which individuals could buy insurance.
A separate bill would take state reforms further than federal requirements by making insurance companies obtain state approval before raising their fees.
The bills are considered works in progress that will change over the course of the legislative session, as the state learns more from the federal government about specific requirements in the law.
Republican lawmakers say the flurry of legislative activity is premature because upcoming elections could shift the balance of power in Congress and result in a repeal of the federal reforms. They also say the exchange, a marketplace through which individuals and small-business owners can buy health insurance at affordable rates, could lead to higher insurance rates because fees will be imposed on insurers to recoup their operational costs.
Despite resistance from members of his own party, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has made health care reform a priority. He introduced his own plan in 2007, but it failed, in part because of concerns about runaway costs to the state in future years.
The Republican governor threw his support behind the national reform plan in April, and his office has been meeting with lawmakers to work through the details.
One of the first steps is to establish an exchange. The idea is to create a consumer-friendly website that could be used to compare and buy health insurance plans, similar to the packages offered by employers.
It also would serve as a place to screen whether an individual is eligible for Medi-Cal, the state's health insurance program for the poor, or other state services.
The state would use federal money to run the exchange. It would create a new entity to operate it or work with a nonprofit organization, said Jennifer Kent, Schwarzenegger's deputy legislative secretary.
Under the federal law, states can decide whether their exchanges will act as tough negotiators to get the best rates for customers or play a less intrusive role in the market.
Kent said Schwarzenegger wants to have the exchange created before he leaves office in January, although it would not be fully operational until 2014.
"He really has always grasped the issue, in terms of if you don't reform this system, because it's so badly broken it only succeeds to be a drag on the economy," Kent said.
Legislative leaders have introduced two bills to create the exchange.
Under SB900, the exchange would have a website and online calculator that would allow consumers to compare plans and cost, said Sen. Elaine Alquist, D-Santa Clara, who introduced the bill and is chairwoman of the Senate Health Committee.
"The goal is to get Californians enrolled in a health plan in 30 minutes or less, rather than in hours or days," Alquist said in an e-mailed response.
Under Alquist's proposal, the exchange would negotiate and enter into contracts with health plans. It would be run by a board whose members are appointed by the governor and Legislature.
AB1602, a similar proposal introduced by Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, also is expected to be voted on next week. That bill would create an exchange, eliminate annual and lifetime limits on health care coverage, and raise the age for children to stay on their parents' insurance to 26, among other provisions.
The state is closely following the example of Massachusetts, which set up its own exchange in 2006. Lawmakers and the governor's staff have met with Jon Kingsdale, the executive director of Massachusetts Connector, that state's health insurance exchange, who will consult with California as it develops its own version.
"He runs the largest exchange in the country, but from a scale factor, we are so going to dwarf that," Kent said.
Still, there is plenty to be learned from Massachusetts, especially when it comes to insurance companies jacking up premiums, said Assemblyman Dave Jones, D-Sacramento.
"Massachusetts thought prices would go down," he said. "But what happened was, when people were legally required to buy insurance, insurers took advantage of that and raised their prices."
That's one reason Jones introduced AB2578, which would require insurance companies to obtain approval from the state Department of Insurance or the Department of Managed Health Care before raising their prices on premiums and copays. He calls it the missing piece of national health care reform.
Anthem Blue Cross proposed raising health insurance premiums by 39 percent before rescinding the increase, and Blue Shield announced an increase of up to 75 percent on small group policy holders.
"I think the public and policy makers have finally had it with these yearly double-digit health insurance and health premium increases," Jones said.
Other bills seek to ban insurers from denying health insurance or specific treatments to patients with pre-existing conditions.
Children would be protected from this practice under a bill by Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles. AB 2244 would prohibit health insurers from excluding or limiting coverage to anyone under the age of 19 because of a pre-existing condition. It also would get tough on insurers by declaring that if a company does not sell policies to families with children, it would forfeit its right to sell insurance to large employers.
"We have an opportunity here in California ... to be a catalyst for the strongest protections for kids in the nation," Feuer said.

Thus did a prominent Wampus editorial worker blushing-ly describe the Helens of Troy which will be presented tomorrow. And just to offer fair comparison between the Wampus and El Rodeo Helens, pictures of the girls of both selections will be run side by side, it was declared by Dick Nash, editing the final magazine in his term as guardian of the Wampus cat. Fears Nothing All-U Ditch Day To Be May 27 At Beach Club Morris, Brower In Charge Of Day s Festivities; Arrange 'Classes' Screen Stars Are Expected Games, Swimming Planned For Trojan Holiday In Santa Monica "The subject for today's lesson is 'How to Enjoy Yourself.* We shall study at first hand the effects of warm, sunny weather upon the human organism." This might well be the opening lecture of an imaginary professor to S. C. students on May 27. On that day all school worries will be tossed overboard and students will worship at the drowsy, "No expense—well almost none— carefree court of good old King has been spared in making the sec ond annual El Rcdent the greatest of all time," was the signed and sealed statement of Nash last night as filed with a notary public. "If you want to treasure those college memories of incidents which El Rodeo is afraid to record, then be sure to purchase an El Rodent Wampus." The editor explained that El Rcdent is an annual parody of the University of Southern California yearbook, but is "not tied down to the staid bounds of conservatism as is El Rodeo. Nothing which occurred during the year is neglected." Just to prove his point, he declared that the truth of the annual Easter vacation to Balboa will be presented in gory detail in El Rodent. Editor Sneers "And you won't find a word about that in El Rodeo when it comes out," he sneered. Among other divisions of university life which will not be neglected are fraternities, sororities, dramatics, athletics, society, and publications, it was declared. Spring Fever, when the first alluniversity ditch day is held at the Deauville Beach club in Santa Monica. Movie Stars Expected "Classes" will convene in dancing, swimming, fun. and frolic, according to Coalson Morris, Phi Kappa Psi, co-chairman with Jaye Brower, Phi Sigma Kappa, of the day's vacationing. An oi^standing dance band has been secured and several movie stars are expected to be in attendance, Morris declared. This will be the first ditch day in which most departments of the university will take part. The only classes held will be those in the Schqpls of Medicine and Law, and in the Colleges of Dentistry and j Engineering. Law students w'ere i granted their day of vacation re- i cently, spending it in sport and recreation at a local country club. Deauville Club Seleoted A program that will be agreeable to all Trojan students, and one in which all can take part, is the aim Co-Chairman Coalson Morris has been named co-chairman with Jaye Brower of the all-university ditch day scheduled for May 27 at the Deauville Beach club, Santa Monica.

Life-Giving Spring
The Life-Giving Spring or Life-Giving Font of the Mother of God (in Greek: Ζωοδόχος Πηγή) is both the feast day of a historic church just west of Constantinople in Valoukli, and an icon of the Theotokos.
The present church, built in 1835, bears the same dedication as the shrine erected in this place between the end of the fifth and beginning of the sixth centuries, named from the nearby holy spring with wonderworking properties. For almost fifteen hundred years, this sanctuary has been one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Greek Orthodoxy.[1]
The Life-Giving Spring Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is commemorated by the Orthodox Church on April 4. The feast day of the Life-Giving Spring itself is commemorated on Bright Friday of each year (the Friday following Pascha), being the only feast day which may be celebrated during Bright Week.
Revelation of the Life-Giving Spring
There are two accounts extant concerning the revelation of the Life-Giving Font.
The first is recorded by the prominent Byzantine scholar Procopius of Caesarea (flourishing ca.500-565).[note 1] In this version, the Emperor Justinian was out hunting when he came upon a small chapel in a beautiful wooded area, surrounded by a large crowd of people and a priest in front of a spring. Inquiring about this site, he was told that this was the "source of miracles". He at once ordered that a magnificent church be built there, utilizing materials that had remained after the erection of the Hagia Sophia.[1] The church was erected in the last years of his reign, ca.559-560, near the holy spring.[note 2] After the erection of the sanctuary, the Gate that was situated outside the walls of Theodosius II was named by the Byzantines Gate of the Spring (Greek: Πύλη τῆς Πηγῆς).[2] It is possible that before the Justinian's building was erected, a small monastery dedicated to the Theotokos had already existed there from early times.
Nicephorus Callistus
A second account is given by Nikephoros Kallistos Xanthopoulos, the last of the Greek ecclesiastical historians, who flourished around 1320. This tradition begins with a miracle that occurred involving a soldier named Leo Marcellus, who would later become the Byzantine Emperor Leo I the Thracian (457-474). While Leo was on his way to Constantinople he encountered a blind man near the Golden Gate who was thirsty. Though he agreed to search for water, he was unable to find any. A female voice was then heard who told the future Emperor that there was water nearby. Looking about, he could see no one, and neither could he see any water. Then he heard the voice again:
- "Emperor Leo, go into the deepest part of the woods, and you will find water there. Take some of the cloudy water in your hands and give it to the blind man to drink. Then take the clay and put it on his eyes. Then you shall know who I am."[3]
The same voice added that she had chosen that very place to be worshiped and prophesied that he would one day receive the crown to the empire. Leo followed her order and at once the blind man recovered his eyesight. After his accession to the throne, the Emperor erected a magnificent church on this place, and the water continued to work miraculous cures. Therefore, it was called "The Life-Giving Spring."
Vicissitudes of the Church
In its history, the fountain had been destroyed and then rebuilt on many occasions, at the request of the Virgin Mother.
Ottoman era
In the 15th century, the city of Constantinople fell into the hands of the Muslims. The Church of the Life-giving Spring was destroyed, and its building materials were used to construct the Bayezid II Mosque for the Sultan. The church site was covered with earth and crushed stone, so that the very foundations of the church disappeared from sight. The beautiful surrounding areas were turned into a Muslim cemetery. A Turkish sentinel, placed at the ruins of the church, forbade Christians not only to gather at the site, but even to approach there.
Little by little, the strictness of this ban eased, and Christians were permitted to build a small church there. Twenty-five steps led down into the chapel, which had a window in the roof to let the light in. The holy Spring was still there, surrounded by a railing.
However after the Greek War of Independence in 1821, even this little chapel was destroyed, and the Spring was buried under the rubble.
Once again Christians cleaned up the ruins, reopened the spring, and once again drew water from it. Even upon these shards of the former magnificent holy structure, the Theotokos, as before, granted hearings through her grace. Later, among the broken pieces in one of the windows was found, already half-rotted away through time and dampness, a panel on which were recorded ten miracles which occurred at the Life-giving Spring during the period 1824-1829.
During the reign of Sultan Mahmoud II, the Orthodox received a measure of freedom to conduct religious services. They used it to erect, for the third time, a church above the Life-giving Spring, with work beginning in July of 1833. While workmen were clearing the ground, they uncovered the foundations of the earlier church. The Sultan allowed them to build not just a chapel, but a new and beautiful church on the foundations of the old one. Construction began on September 14, 1833, and was completed on December 30, 1834.
On February 2, 1835, with great pomp, the Ecumenical Patriarch Constantine, celebrating with 20 bishops and an enormous flood of the faithful, consecrated the church which stands to this day, dedicating it to the Most Holy Theotokos.
Nearby was built a hospital and alms-house. Even the Muslims spoke with great respect of the Life-giving Spring, and of the Theotokos, who through it pours out her grace-filled power. "Great among women Holy Mary" is how they refer to the Most Holy Virgin. The water from the Life-giving Spring they call the "water of Holy Mary."
Modern era
On September 6, 1955, the church was destroyed again during the Istanbul Pogrom. Another small chapel has been rebuilt on the site, but the church has not yet been restored to its former size. The spring still flows to this day and is considered by the faithful to have wonderworking properties.
The Icon
The icon representing the Virgin of the Spring shows the Virgin blessing and embracing the Child. She is surrounded by two angels, and is sitting on the more elevated of two basins, presumably representing the "living water" which is Christ.[note 3] The living water from the more elevated basin flows into a larger marble basin below, which is in the shape of a cross.[note 4]
In one modern Greek version of the icon that was found on Naxos island, Greece,[note 5] some differences are shown with respect to the ancient type. Around the cross-shaped basin stands the Emperor with his guard, while on the right there is the Patriarch with his bishops. In the background, is represented Leo I with the blind man, together with the walls of the City. Under the basin a paralytic and a madman are healed with the spring's water.
List of Churches and Monasteries
The Life-Giving Spring gave origin to many churches and monasteries bearing the same name in the Greek world. Most of them were erected after the end of the Byzantine Empire.
- The Life-Giving Spring Acadimias, Athens
- Theotokos of the Life-Giving Spring Russian Orthodox Mission -- Bryan, Texas
- Original monastery in Constantinople.
- Monastery of the Theotokos the Life-Giving Spring -- Dunlap, California.
- Monastery of the Life-Giving Spring -- Kastri, Pellana municipality, Laconia prefecture, Greece.[note 6]
In Orthodox hymnography, the Theotokos is frequently compared with a Holy Fountain. The hymns and prayers of the feast are combined with the Paschal hymns, and there is often a Lesser Blessing of Waters performed after the Divine Liturgy on Bright Friday.
- O most favored by God,
- You confer on me the healing of your grace from your inexhaustible Spring.
- Therefore, since you gave birth incomprehensibly to the Word,
- I implore you to refresh me with the dew of your grace that I might cry to you:
- Hail, O Water of salvation.

Stevens, John Paul
Stevens, John Paul, 1920–, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1975–2010). After receiving his law degree from Northwestern Univ. (1947), he clerked with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Wiley Rutledge (1947–48). After many years of private practice in Chicago, he was named to the federal Court of Appeals in 1970. In 1975, President Ford named him to the U.S. Supreme Court. As a justice, he initially was allied with neither the liberal nor the conservative wings of the court, maintaining a moderate and independent voting record. The replacement of liberal justices by more conservative appointees, however, made Stevens one of the more liberal members of the court by the 1990s.

Simplify: Square's Hyper-Focused Hack Week, Where Function Meets Fancy
No, it's not some fruit-centric start-up. This is Square, the micropayments company aimed at changing the way people make transactions. I've stopped by in the middle of the company's semiannual Hack Week.
For one week during December, employees are given free rein to work on whatever they want, payments-related or not. Some take the time to work on Square-centric ideas that they don't have time to tackle during their packed work week, when they're hyperfocused on whatever department they may reside in. Intermingling between the departments is encouraged, so folks who don't normally work together daily get to meet up and collaborate on a project for the week.
There's a giant board in the center of the office, smattered with rough sketches of ideas and multicolored Post-It notes. It's a scattered road map of the product direction the company wants to head over the next year or so (a few top-secret ones were taken down off the wall before I arrived). Each idea was stamped with four or five Post-it notes, with every different color representing a different department member.
Some items are purely creative exercises, stretching the proverbial neural muscles. Founder Jack Dorsey, for example, spent the week attempting to rewrite some of Square's code base using the French programming language OCaml. (Well, maybe not the whole thing.) Other attempts may end up yielding something tangible: In the past, Hack Week projects like wireless receipt printing and political fundraising have ended up in the Square consumer product itself.
And then some Square people, like Justin Shearer, a very nice engineer I met, decided to work on electronic fruit.
It stemmed (ha!) from chatter around the office when Hack Week began, as folks spouted off about the random ideas they considered tackling for the week. On the whole, Square employees are big fans of Reddit, the massive social link-posting site where memes are born (and where productivity goes to die). The banana phone was a meme that rose to prominence on sites like Reddit, so naturally it came up as a potential Hack Week project. No one took it seriously at first. Except for Shearer.
"Challenge accepted," as he put it, in familiar meme parlance. It's actually a cheap, prepaid cellular phone straight from the shelves of a Best Buy, taken apart and rewired to fit inside a fabricated banana. And it really works — Shearer sent me a text from it.
I tell you about all this with some sense of whimsy. But hackathons are commonplace these days in the Valley. Companies sponsor them, often in the days before a big tech conference. Google lets its employees take 20 percent of their time and devote it to other projects not specific to their main jobs. Facebook literally has "hacking" written all over its IPO paperwork.
But Dorsey thinks Square's Hack Week is special. Google's 20 percent time is too liberal, which could lend employees to lose focus on their tasks at hand. On the other end of the spectrum, companies like Facebook treat every day like a Hack Week, "moving fast and breaking things" on a regular basis.
"Neither of those models can really create proper cohesion," Dorsey told me.
Indeed, both Facebook and Google treat hack time antithetically to Square's company model of hyperfocused, rigorous attention to the process, tweaking and refining ideas and products until they come out just so. Square — and Dorsey, in particular — is known in the Valley for the "devil in the details" philosophy of product design, not to mention clocking crazy long hours at the office to get things right. It's not for the faint of heart.
The Hack Week, then, is a way of blowing off steam, directing attention away from an employee's particular area of expertise and freeing his or her mind to play with other ideas. "During Hack Week, we prioritize expediency over quality," said CTO Bob Lee. "We artificially constrain ourselves to spark innovation. Creativity loves constraints."
But not too much constraint — nor too little. "It's tough to find the right time medium to do it in," Dorsey said, as "one to two days aren't generally enough to get something finished," but a constant "hack around the clock" culture like other companies may espouse just doesn't work for the Square model. A week seems to settle it.
Some teams use the time to create systems that make their daily work lives easier. One fellow, whom I'll dub the hardware property master, created a rudimentary inventory system to keep track of the myriad Android and iOS devices used to test builds of Square's software. As you might imagine, phones and tablets often have a hard time finding their way back to the lock-up.
Others find a balance between product relevance and straight-up fun. A group of five assembled a functioning, physical odometer to be hung in the center of the office. It keeps a running tally of Square's daily GPV — or gross payment value — the total sum of transactions processed by Square every moment.
At the end of the week, everyone comes together at Town Square (the weekly companywide meeting) to vote on the winning prototype. It's a combination of function and fun, and not always a popularity contest.
I haven't heard who took home the first place trophy. My bet: There's always money in the banana phone.
(Take a look at this very funny Hack Week video below, produced by a team of Square employees.)

Cheese and mushroom casserole with chicken
This casserole is simple and delicious, and makes a perfect snack during a picnic (bento anyone?)—you should use it as a basic idea for a casserole, since the pasta sauce is the stable and the most important piece of the meal. It's also a very tweak-able recipe! :-)
Shepherd's pie
This one is a real pickle — it's extremely simple, and doesn't look spectacular, but packs a serious punch of flavor and deliciousness. You can easily upgrade or downgrade the recipe based on your liking, use different ingredients, but as long as you make ground meat under a blanket of mashed potatoes, it's gonna be fine ;-)
Creamy scrambled eggs
I love the creamy texture of scrambled eggs, but I strongly dislike the idea of eating eggs raw, so I hacked a scrambled eggs recipe to be both completely set, creamy, and pack a crunchy punch as an extra. It's so delicious with fresh bread or toast, and the consistency makes it spreadable like a cottage cheese! I come back to this recipe quite often, because it's simple, fast and feels luxurious ;-)
Sweet potato quiche
Quiche is that one recipe that I love coming back to — it's easy to make, looks delicious and tastes heavenly :-) Plus, it allows me to come up with new fillings, which makes it very versatile!
Sweet potatoes are very smooth and creamy when boiled, then baked, and shallots add a crunchy texture. The combination of them is very mild and aromatic, so make sure you spice it up to your liking!
German Zimtsterne (cinnamon almond cookies)
I always wanted to make these, and finally got the guts — oh boy, I wasn't really prepared for the amount of nitty-gritty with making these. I started with original German recipe that called for 500g of almonds, but that ended up being 2 full baking sheets and lots of sneaky snacking between steps ;-) But the result is good, and these cookies are worth the effort.

Very few mammals have symbiotic relationships with other animals. One of the few exceptions is the raven and the wolf. Ravens are sometimes known as "wolf-birds" because they form social attachments with wolves. Where there are wolves, there are often ravens that follow wolves to grab leftovers from the hunt, and to tease the wolves. They play with the wolves by diving at them and then speeding away or pecking their tails to try to get the wolves to chase them.
The wolf and the raven have a complex relationship that is many thousands of years old. Although the wolf had been missing from Yellowstone since the 1940's, the raven had not forgotten the wolf and what their relationship meant for both of them. With the reintroduction of the wolf into Yellowstone National Park, the old ways are once again practiced by both.
Wolves and ravens have long been connected in folklore and fact. The Nordic God Odin is often represented sitting on his throne, flanked by his two wolves Geri and Freki and two ravens Huggin and Munin. Tales of hunting interaction involving wolves, ravens and humans figure prominently in the storytelling of Tlingit and Inuit, Native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, with the ravens appearing as form-changing wise guys and tricksters, taking advantage of both humans and wolves.
Ravens are possibly the most intelligent birds, based on their omnivorous adaptability to almost any environment, their fascination with colorful toys and glittery objects, their use of natural tools, and their diverse repertoire of sounds and vocalizations. Wherever wolves hunt, ravens are usually present, scavenging prey and sometimes leading wolves to potential prey or to carcasses too tough for even the ravens' heavy, pick-like beaks to penetrate.
Ravens not only scavenge wolf kills, but steal up to one third of a carcass by continually carrying away chunks of meat, caching and hiding them both from the wolves and their fellow ravens. A fascinating new study suggests that since an adult wolf can by itself kill any prey smaller than a large moose, the real reason wolves hunt in packs, is to minimize the portion of a carcass lost to ravens! And while it may seem that wolves have the short end of this symbiotic relationship with ravens, idle wolves and ravens have been observed playing together, with ravens pulling on wolf tails, and wolf cubs chasing after teasing ravens.
In several studies conducted at Yellowstone National Park where carcasses were randomly left for ravens, it showed them to be initially cautious, waiting for other ravens or other scavengers to approach first. However, when following a wolf pack they usually began feeding immediately after and sometimes alongside the wolves.
In "Wolves and Men", Barry Lopez wrote: "The wolf seems to have few relationships with other animals that could be termed purely social, though he apparently takes pleasure in the company of ravens. The raven, with a range almost as extensive as the wolf's, one that even includes the tundra, commonly follows hunting wolves to feed on the remains of a kill."
Some zoologists speculate that the raven's relationship with wolves may be because of their psychological make-up. Dr. L. David Mech wrote in "The Wolf: The Ecology and Behaviour of an Endangered Species": "It appears that the wolf and the raven have reached an adjustment in their relationships such that each creature is rewarded in some way by the presence of the other and that each is fully aware of the other's capabilities. Both species are extremely social, so they must possess the psychological mechanisms necessary for forming social attachments. Perhaps in some way individuals of each species have included members of the other in their social group and have formed bonds with them."
In "Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds," zoologist Bernd Heinrich has suggested a basis for this association. Ravens lead wolves to their prey, alert them to dangers, and are rewarded by sharing the spoils.
This unusual partnership also finds expression in Scripture. The only person in Scripture named after the wolf, the Midianite chieftain Ze'ev, had a partner named Orev, which means Raven in Hebrew. "And they captured the two chieftains of Midian, Orev and Ze'ev; and they executed Orev in the Rock of Orev, and they executed Ze'ev at the Winepress of Ze'ev, and they pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Orev and Ze'ev to Gideon, across the Jordan." (Judges 7:25)
It could be that since wolves and ravens have a well-known association, the Midianites called their two chieftains by these names. Or perhaps they had different names, but Scripture calls them by these names in order to tell us something about them.
Aside from the social and symbiotic relationship between wolves and ravens, there is another connection between them. The Hebrew name for raven, orev, is comprised of the same letters as the word erev, dusk. Dusk is the time so epitomized by wolves that they are repeatedly referred to as "the wolves of dusk". According to some they are referred to solely by the name "dusky" in the Egyptian plague, the same word used as the name of the raven. The Midrash, a commentary on part of the Hebrew scriptures, also records a view that that the Egyptian plague of arov was comprised of ravens and other such birds, but another view maintains that it was both wolves and ravens.
The etymology of the name orev for raven is simple to explain in terms of the raven's black plumage, reminiscent of the onset of night. But one can also see other ways in which the raven is related to this word. Erev, or dusk, is the time when day mixes with night. In fact, the word for mixture in Hebrew is ervuv. Ravens are a mixture in that they are the only bird to possess two of the signs of kosher birds as well as two of the signs of non-kosher birds – a true mixture. The Midrash notes that the raven also has a tendency to mix even when mixing is forbidden: "There were three that engaged in sexual relations while in the Ark: Ham, the raven, and the dog." (Talmud, Sanhedrin 108b)
Males and females of all species were to remain separate for the duration of their stay on the Ark, but the ravens negated this, mingling together and mating. Perhaps it is for this reason that the chieftains of Midian are called Ze'ev and Orev by the Torah. The crime of Midian was to send their girls to mix and intermingle with the Jewish People. Ravens and wolves are both creatures that represent dusk, the mixture of light and dark, and also mixing in general. Furthermore they mix with each other, mammal with bird. The dusky ravens and wolves of dusk are both symbols of the mixing of two distinct realms. In a commentary to Exodus 8:17, Rabbi Yosef Schonhak in "Toldos Ha-Aretz" claims that the wolves that plagued Egypt, along with the "wolves of dusk" referred to in Scripture, are hyenas.
Bernd Heinrich in "Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds" wrote: "Ravens can be attracted to wolf howls. The wolves' howls before they go on a hunt, and it is a signal that the birds learn to heed. Conversely, wolves may respond to certain raven vocalizations or behavior that indicate prey. The raven-wolf association may be close to a symbiosis that benefits the wolves and ravens alike. At a kill site, the birds are more suspicious and alert than wolves. The birds serve the wolves as extra eyes and ears."

Childhood obesity rates are down in California
CA gets praise from first lady
First lady Michelle Obama has reason to celebrate on the third anniversary of her campaign to fight childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity is down in some states including California.
This is thanks in part to changes at schools across the country, including schools in Sacramento, that have implemented plans to provide healthier food to their students.
Once called the fattest state in America, the first lady is now using Mississippi as a shining example of her "Let's Move!" initiative.
Obama spoke Wednesday at an elementary school near Jackson. It was the first stop on a two-day tour to promote her signature effort, the anti-childhood obesity campaign she launched three years ago.
The first lady praised Mississippi and other states including California that have seen their childhood obesity rates come down.
Recent numbers show Mississippi and California are leading efforts to reduce obesity rates at the state level. Both states have focused on creating healthier schools by offering more nutritious snacks and getting rid of sugary drinks.
Obama said, "Changing school lunches and breakfasts have really had an impact, because that's where kids are getting so many of their calories."
California and Mississippi also support policies that promote physical activity, which is one of the keys components of Obama's plan. She has set an example herself, as seen on the "Ellen" and Jimmy Fallon's shows.
This week the first lady said she will unveil a new plan to help children get the 60 minutes of daily activity they need. The next stops on her tour are Chicago and Missouri.

10th Anniversary Celebration
Fair Trade Town
First Fair Trade Town in Ontario! This recognition comes from Fairtrade Canada's Fair Trade Town Initiative.
Port Colborne, a very progressive and community orientated city is now officially the gateway to Fair Trade in Ontario!
What is Fair Trade?
Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers - especially in the South.
10 Principles of Fair Trade
WFTO prescribes 10 Principles that Fair Trade Organizations must follow in their day-to-day work and carries out monitoring to ensure these principles are upheld:
Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
Fair Trade is a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development. Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalized by the conventional trading system.
Transparency and accountability
Fair Trade involves transparent management and commercial relations to deal fairly and respectfully with trading partners.
Capacity building
Fair Trade is a means to develop producers' independence. Fair Trade relationships provide continuity, during which producers and their marketing organizations can improve their management skills and their access to new markets.
Promoting Fair Trade
Fair Trade Organizations raise awareness of Fair Trade and the possibility of greater justice in world trade. They provide their customers with information about the organization, the products, and in what conditions they are made. They use honest advertising and marketing techniques and aim for the highest standards in product quality and packing.
Payment of a fair price
A fair price in the regional or local context is one that has been agreed through dialogue and participation. It covers not only the costs of production but enables production which is socially just and environmentally sound. It provides fair pay to the producers and takes into account the principle of equal pay for equal work by women and men. Fair Traders ensure prompt payment to their partners and, whenever possible, help producers with access to pre-harvest or pre-production financing.
Gender Equity
Fair Trade means that women's work is properly valued and rewarded. Women are always paid for their contribution to the production process and are empowered in their organizations.
Working conditions
Fair Trade means a safe and healthy working environment for producers. The participation of children (if any) does not adversely affect their well-being, security, educational requirements and need for play and conforms to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as well as the law and norms in the local context.
Child Labour
Fair Trade Organizations respect the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as local laws and social norms in order to ensure that the participation of children in production processes of fairly traded articles (if any) does not adversely affect their well-being, security, educational requirements and need for play. Organizations working directly with informally organized producers disclose the involvement of children in production.
The environment
Fair Trade actively encourages better environmental practices and the application of responsible methods of production.
Trade Relations
Fair Trade Organizations trade with concern for the social, economic and environmental well-being of marginalized small producers and do not maximize profit at their expense. They maintain long-term relationships based on solidarity, trust and mutual respect that contribute to the promotion and growth of Fair Trade. An interest free pre payment of at least 50% is made if requested.
With thanks to WFTO for this information.

Proposed Borough: Candidates
Flint vies for position on the proposed borough assembly
Petersburg City Councilor Susan Flint is a lifelong resident of Petersburg and has put her name in the hat as a candidate for the proposed Petersburg Borough Assembly.
Flint has served on the city council since 2009 and decided to run for the council seat after a group from Bellingham tried to develop a dam in Thomas Bay.
She explained that she feels that the formation of the borough will be good for the community.
"I am very hopeful that the borough will pass," Flint stated. "I think it will be the best thing for the community at large."
She also stated that forming the borough is the right thing to do. "We need to take care of our backyard," she said. "We need to have a say in what happens in our neighborhood."
Flint is also a business owner in Petersburg.
"I have a business with my husband and son, Rocky's Marine," Flint stated. "I think we have a great town, with wonderful schools, a great outlet for artists, inspiring scenery and of course, fishing is the life-blood of our town. This is a great place to raise a family."
Flint is afraid there has been so much opposition on this issue that the unification of the two sides will be difficult but this challenge can be overcome.
"We have to mend a lot of fences," she stated. "There have been a lot of harsh words and a lot of accusations thrown around and I hate that. We are all neighbors; we have to see each other all of the time. We work together, shop together, recreate together and mending these fences will be a top priority for me."
The opportunity for hydro development is a huge draw for the borough formation.
"Hydro development is what this area needs," Flint said. "We thought we were all set here for years and years, but when everyone began converting to electricity for heat we found that we can use all that we have now and we need to look for areas to develop. This fact affects us all."
The loss of jobs in the Forest Service and crewmember jobs in the fishing industry has produced a decline in population but according to Flint the biggest threat comes at the cost of our schools.
"Our school funding is being threatened by Congress and we are responsible," Flint stated. "One of our main jobs, as a City is to help fund our schools."
Flint explained that as a citizen of the United States, education is one of our top priorities.
"The increase in property tax will help increase the dollars to the schools," she stated. "I think that is very important."
Flint does not see anything changing as the government changes from a City to a Borough entity.
"Other than a larger area being included, I don't see any changes," Flint said. "It will be up to the residents in the outlying areas to form their own area and the borough can help them with that."
Flint also explained that she was disappointed that no one from outside the city limits chose to run for a seat on the assembly.
"I know they are against it," Flint stated. "I am hopeful that, if it passes, they will come and join us and be a part of their government."

Son: I don't care. I love her and I'm going to marry her..
Two weeks later, the son called the father again,
Son: Dad, I married her!
Dad: What about all the things I warned you about?
Son : Dad, she cooks like a dream, she keeps the house spic-&-span and loves sex.
Dad: What about the last thing?
Son: We came to an understanding…………..
She doesn't call me Jew Boy, and I don't call her Schvartza.

One of my pet peeves is practice "benchmarking," and a personal story illustrates my problem.
Years ago, I used to date a guy on the Kansas State golf team. One of his pet peeves was a popular technique used to read the way a putt would break on a green called "the plumb-bob." To do this, a player would stand on a green with his ball between himself and the hole. Then he or she would hold a putter by the very end of the grip, with arm extended in front, and the shaft lined up with the ball. If that placed the top of the grip to the right of the hole, the putt would break left; if the grip was on the left, it would break the other way.
In general, plumb-bobbing is a simple but effective technique that uses a weight on a string to let gravity confirm the straightness of walls or beams, etc. The problem is that most golf putters these days have a "goose neck" so the head (the weight) doesn't line up with the shaft, which makes the putter hang at an angle, giving a false reading of what's straight. When my boyfriend pointed this out to one of his teammates, he replied: "That's okay, I only use it as indication of the break." Right.
I'm often reminded of this story when I see so-called "benchmarking" studies of advisory firms, in which firm owners enter financial and operational data, usually online, and then receive an assessment of how their firm compares to other firms, in various "key" areas. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I find these "studies" to be useless, and often dangerous, if taken seriously. The problem with benchmarking studies is that they entirely depend on the accuracy of data entered, which is usually neither checked, nor confirmed. Having seem the data that some of my client firm owners have submitted to these studies over years, I can tell you that all too often it bears very little resemblance to reality.
For the most part, I don't believe that most owner-advisors intentionally mislead about their firms. But it is human nature to make things appear somewhat better than they really are, out of pride and sometimes wishful thinking. More often, though, busy advisors don't really know off the top of their heads what their current or past firm data is. Unfortunately, some of them just don't take the time to look up the real numbers.
A bigger problem is that one key area is virtually never reported properly or consistently—owner's income. It is the one variable that changes the whole perspective of these "studies" and which almost every advisory firm under-reports. For the life of me, I can't understand why no one seems to get this. Independent advisory firms are closely held small businesses. As such, there is no incentive to maximize "profitability" (such as shareholders or stock analysts to impress), and considerable incentive to minimize. Firm owners also have considerable control over the expenses that keep revenues from flowing to the bottom line. Consequently, firm profitability or owner's income provides virtually no useful insight into the benefits of owning any particular small business.
So if you're determined to participate in these benchmarking studies in 2013, try not to take them too seriously, and for heaven's sake, don't make any major decisions based on their results. I know, you're just using them as an indication, right?
That's my last rant for 2012. Have a wonderful holiday season.

ACT: Added Course Requirements Alone Don't Produce STEM Readiness
By guest blogger Catherine Gewertz. Cross-posted from Curriculum Matters.
When states and districts start banging the drum about college and career readiness in the STEM fields, they shouldn't just ramp up graduation requirements. They need to make sure that their high school students are academically ready for challenging coursework.
That's the key message of a new report from ACT. Issued this week, "Missing the Mark" finds that increasing graduation requirements, all by itself, is unlikely to make students readier for college or careers. What they need are courses that are truly rigorous, and adequate preparation for those courses.
"State policymakers may be unrealistic in expecting that raising math and science graduation requirements alone through state policy will improve student outcomes," the report said. "Despite the introduction of higher graduation requirements in math and science, there was little effect on student course taking,
achievement, or college enrollment."
The findings of ACT's report may resonate nationally, since so many states and districts are increasingly aware of the importance that those courses have for students planning STEM careers. Stepping up graduation requirements, however, poses distinct challenges for the least well-prepared students, the report said.
"New requirements effectively target students that may have weaker preparation and motivation for college rather than the group currently choosing more advanced math and science courses," it said.
The study takes Illinois as a case study. The state passed a law in 2005 that required high school students to take at least three years of math and two years of science. Examining what happened in nine graduating classes in response to that law, ACT saw trends in three areas:
Coursetaking. The law didn't change students' enrollment patterns in math, but it did prompt more students—particularly those in the bottom half of the class—to enroll in more science courses. In 2005, 78 percent of lower-ranking students were taking two years of science; by 2013, that figure went up to 88 percent. Researchers concluded that this increase was in response to the law because they compared it to increases in districts that had already been enforcing those higher graduation requirements on their own. In those districts, science course-taking increased by only 5 percentage points.
Achievement. Requiring more math and science courses had no effect on how well students did in those subjects on the ACT college-entrance exam. Researchers speculated that this could be because students who opt to take heavier math and science courseloads might be better prepared or more motivated than those who are required to do so. ACT scores in math and science for Illinois students edged up slightly during the study period, but that applied to all districts, not just those that had to increase their requirements in response to the law.
College Enrollment. Students in school districts that had to increase math graduation requirements because of the law enrolled in college at faster rates than students in unaffected districts, the ACT found. That held true for both higher- and lower-achieving students. In districts that had to raise their science requirements, however, there wasn't an accompanying rise in college enrollment rates, the report said.
The study concludes that an earlier focus on preparation and support is warranted.
"Efforts should be focused on early preparation to ensure that students have better skills by the time they reach high school," it says. "For students already in high school, targeted remediation efforts are necessary, and the remediation efforts may need to be differentiated by ability level, distinguishing students with very weak ability from those only slightly behind."
