Thai Coup Leader Threatens Crackdown If Protests Resume
Thai coup leader General Prayuth Chan-ocha said on Monday he had been formally endorsed by the king as head of a military council that will run the country, and warned he would use force if political protests flared up again.
Prayuth seized power on May 22, saying the army would restore order after nearly seven months of sometimes deadly street demonstrations. The military has taken into custody scores of politicians, activists and others.
'Will we go back to where we were before? If you want to do that, I will need to use force and impose the law strictly,' Prayuth said in a statement he read on television. 'You will have to forgive any tough measures as they are necessary.'
He did not set a timeframe for how long the army would stay in power, although he said he hoped to hold elections soon.
The royal endorsement is a significant formality in Thailand, where the monarchy is the most important institution.
But Prayuth's address would have provoked conflicting reaction in a country polarized by nearly a decade of rivalry between the royalist establishment, of which Prayuth is a member, and Thaksin Shinawatra, a populist tycoon who broke the political mould.
Prayuth, wearing a formal white dress uniform, said he would set up a council of advisers but gave no details on the form of a government that will run the country under his military junta, the National Council for Peace and Order.
'The country needs a prime minister,' he said.
The military ousted the remnants of a government that had been led by Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister, until she was removed by a court on May 7 for abuse of power. Thaksin was ousted as premier in a 2006 coup.
The military has taken over with a heavy hand, throwing out the constitution, dissolving the Senate and censoring the media. Anyone who insults the monarchy or violates the military's orders will be tried in a military court.
Despite warnings, small crowds of people voicing opposition to the coup have been gathering daily in Bangkok since the takeover, as well as in the north and northeast, strongholds of the ousted government. There have been no serious clashes.
On Monday, about 100 people gathered at Bangkok's Victory Monument where about 1,000 protesters massed on Sunday.
Some shouted 'we want elections' and 'coup get out', others held up signs with messages such as 'we want democracy'. Some police and soldiers blocked a nearby road.
While the protests are a nuisance for the army, a more serious threat would be armed resistance from Thaksin's 'red shirt' loyalists. They have always threatened to fight a coup but with so many of their leaders detained or in hiding, activists say they have no plan for opposition.
Authorities seized weapons and detained activists in the northeast last week. On Monday, an army ranger was killed in Trat province, near the Cambodian border, in a clash with suspected pro-Thaksin gunmen during a search, the army said.
Earlier on Monday, Suthep Thaugsuban, a former pro-establishment politician who led protests that undermined Yingluck's government, was released on bail, his lawyer said. He had been held since the coup.
The army has also allowed Yingluck to go home, although she remains under military supervision with soldiers guarding her residence, a military official said on Sunday.
But the easing of restrictions on Yingluck will do little to dispel concern among her supporters that the military is intent on a crackdown for reasons other than simply restoring order.
Thaksin, seen as the real power behind his sister's government, was ousted in 2006 after his big-spending policies had won him the passionate support of the poor but the animosity of the establishment, who saw him as a corrupt, authoritarian opportunist and a threat to the old order.
The upstart former telecommunications tycoon, who refused to conform with the establishment's ways, was also accused of being disrespectful to the monarchy and even a closet republican, which he denied.
The former leader, who has lived in self-exile since a 2008 graft conviction, said on Twitter he was saddened by the latest events, and called on the army to treat everyone fairly.
The crisis between the establishment and Thaksin comes amid anxiety over the issue of royal succession. The king, the world's longest-reigning monarch, is 86 and spent the years from 2009 to 2013 in hospital.
Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn does not command the same devotion as his father, but some Thaksin supporters have recently been making a point of showing their loyalty to the prince.
Meanwhile, one Thaksin ally, ousted Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang, said he expected the military to take steps aimed at sidelining once and for all Thaksin, his family and his allies, and blocking forever his formidable political machine, which has won every election since 2001.
'Any election after that would be meaningless,' Chaturon told Reuters by telephone on Sunday, referring to changes he expects the military to implement.
For now, the military is focusing on ending dissent and getting the economy back on track.
Shares in building contractors jumped more than 3 percent on Monday on expectations the military government would speed up disbursements for infrastructure projects that were put on hold during the months of political unrest.
Among them, Italian-Thai Development Pcl, the country's largest construction firm, rose 0.5 percent even though the army has summoned its president, Premchai Karnasuta, to appear on Monday, along with 37 others including political associates and big business allies of Thaksin.
Also on Monday, the military officer overseeing the economy met senior economic civil servants.

Goose Island drafts new promotions and new beers
- First ad campaign for Goose Island Beer takes flight
- Maker of renowned Bourbon County Stout is upping production
- Acquisition by AB InBev in 2011 has helped with expansion
Goose Island Beer Co., a craft brewer owned by a beer behemoth that's behind cult favorite Bourbon County Brand Stout, is popping the top on its first national advertising campaign.
It's an appropriate time for the Chicago-based brewery, an independent purchased by Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2011, as Goose Island beers became available in all 50 states just last year.
With interest in — and sales of — craft beer on the rise, Goose Island and parent AB InBev figured it was time to formally introduce the brand to consumers.
In addition to a new one-minute video ad that will be found beginning todayon food, travel and music websites, Goose Island will place full and double-page advertisements in upcoming consumer-focused magazines.(Some have already run in Draft and Beer Advocate magazines.)
The video takes viewers inside Goose Island's Fulton Street Brewery and its barrel-aging facility. And the city of Chicago plays a major part, too, with several shots of the skyline and the L subway line.
Symbolism, sure, but it's meant as a sign that the brewery means to stay true to its roots, despite its growing national reach, says Mark Hegedus, Goose Island marketing director. "And our roots is all about being innovative and creative and always wanting to try what is next out there."
The message of "To What's Next" used in the campaign is appropriate, as Goose Island has many new beers set to debut this year. While some craft beer devotees voiced concern at AB InBev's purchase of Goose Island two years ago, Hegedus notes that the resources of the megabrewer have helped the brewery expand its repertoire.
Its popular 312 Urban Wheat beer and Honker Ale, available nationwide, are now made at corporate brewing sites in Baldwinville, N.Y., and Fort Collins, Colo. But, Hegedus says, "our brewmaster tastes every batch.
That has freed up the Fulton Street Brewery to become more of an incubator. "It has gone back to what it was when we first opened, of just trying new beers," he says. "Now we have that flexibility again."
As a result, Goose Island is making more beer and more different beers than ever before. The company shipped 37% more barrels of beer nationally in 2012 — the most recent numbers Goose Island could provide — increasing its shipments to 208,000 barrels, up from 152,000 barrels in 2011.
Additional production capacity has been devoted to the barrel-aged Bourbon County Brand Stout, which is released annually in November to don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it sellouts of the bottles. The brewer also expanded its barrel-aged beers with new varieties such as Bourbon County Brand Barleywine and Backyard Rye, as well as its wine-barrel-aged lineup with two new farmhouse ales called Gillian and Halia, released last fall.
Goose Island plans to release 18 new beers this year, a dozen of which will be available nationally (bringing its national beers to 17). New national releases include the 312 Urban Pale Ale, due to launch in March, and three seasonal single-hop beers using hops grown at the brewery's hop farm in northern Idaho. The first is Ten Hill Pale Ale, released nationwide on Dec. 2, 2013, and Endless IPA, a hoppy, lower-alcoholic (5.2% ABV) session ale coming in early April. Next is a Rambler Red ale in late summer.
Construction is underway of a 130,000-square-foot warehouse — 2 miles away from its Fulton Street Brewery — to store and age the barrel-aged beers. The brewery continues to make beers that are only distributed locally on tap at its original Clybourn Avenue brewpub, opened in 1988, and its Wrigleyville brewpub, opened in 1999, and other local restaurants.
Goose Island fans may have worried about a watering down of the beloved Chicago brewer's products after its acquisition by AB InBev, "but two years in, we're not seeing it," says Tom Bobak, editor-in-chief of AmericanCraftBeer.com.
"They acquired Goose Island to get a piece of craft beer's pop cultural energy and it's economic energy, of course," Bobak says. "I think they have been careful not to diminish their acquisition. They have left Goose Island to be Goose Island."

YREKA – A Weed man accused of sexual assault and domestic violence was booked in the Siskiyou County Jail on $100,000 bail Wednesday.
Patric Aaron Chase, 23, was booked on charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment with violence, sexual battery, stalking, assault with a deadly weapon (not a firearm), inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant and violating a protective order.

The tables in your home (your dining tables, end tables, bedside tables and coffee tables) are functional and utilitarian home furnishings. You use them to dine on, as perches for reading lamps and as handy places to rest your coffee cups and wine glasses.

Mitt Romney Wins Straw Poll
Results Delayed Until After 8 P.M.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the straw poll with 4,516 votes Saturday in Ames.
There were 14,302 votes cast. No. 2 Gov. Mike Huckabee had 2,587 votes. No. 3 Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback had 2,192 votes. No. 4. Colorado U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo had 1,961 votes. No. 5 U.S. Rep. Ron Paul had 1,305 votes. No. 6 former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson with 1,039 or 7.3 percent of the vote. No. 7 was former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson with 203 votes. No. 8 Rudy Giuliani with 183 votes. No. 9 was Duncan Hunter with 174 votes. No. 10 was Arizona Sen. John McCain with 101 votes. No. 11 John Cox had 41 votes.
Officials said that an estimated 30,000 to 33,000 people attended the straw poll. Voting wrapped up at 6 p.m. Results were delayed for an hour and a half because officials had to hand count votes from one of the voting machines, NewsChannel 8 reported.
Although several attendees came from out of state, they were not allowed to vote. The Republican Party of Iowa set up voting machines in three locations.
Voters had to show a valid Iowa driver's license and have their thumb pressed on dark ink in order to keep people from voting twice.
There are 11 GOP candidates. McCain and Giuliani did not participate in the straw poll. Romney, Tancredo, Cox, Paul, Huckabee, Hunter, Thompson and Brownback were in Ames.
"What an exciting day, wow," Romney told supporters. "Well, you guys you saw it. Today, the people of this great state sent a message to America and that is that change begins in Iowa."
Romney had a stage set up where a band performed and he spoke to supporters. He also hosted a free barbecue dinner.
"You can read about it and discuss it in the abstract, but actually seeing the impact of the Romney campaign's money, organization and attention to detail is just remarkable. They were a huge presence here today," said KCCI political analyst Dennis Goldford.
Brownback provided carnival rides, free snow cones and cotton candy.
Second-place finisher Huckabee was swarmed by the media after the results announced.
"It is beyond huge. This, as far as we're concerned, we can honestly feel that we won the Iowa straw poll today because no one thought we would be, not only in second place, but very few people thought this close, even this close to the front and that the frontrunner would be, really, under 50 percent," Huckabee said.
Sixth-place finisher Tommy Thompson told NewsChannel 8 earlier this week that if he did not get first or second place, he would drop out of the race. His campaign said Saturday night that he has not dropped out.
Each candidate was given 15 minutes to speak before a crowd inside Hilton Coliseum. The Republican Party said it expects to raise $1 million at the event.
"Certainly, the Ron Paul campaign has a lot of enthusiasm, but it looked as though the Brownback campaign was really trying to position itself as the main alternative to the Romney campaign," Goldford said.
Candidates posed for photos, signed autographs and talked politics.
"In the straw poll, I think my chances are pretty bad. I'm probably going to be in the bottom somewhere," said candidate John Cox. Cox said a less-than-stellar showing at the straw poll does not mean he will drop out.
"You're not getting rid of me that easy," Cox said.
Cox said he sees the poll as a chance to be seen by national media who flock to Iowa for the historic event, and to get Iowa voters to take notice before they cast a more meaningful vote in the Iowa caucuses.
How many candidates can go on from the straw poll?
"It depends upon the balance between your income and your expenses, and I think a lot of the donors for the campaigns that finish very low in these ratings will probably take a look at those numbers and maybe reassess whether they can continue supporting those folks," Goldford said.

Are you one of the over 80% of adults suffering from back pain? Then you need simple, valuable and expert advice. Dr Graeme Teague is an expert in the structural field, and has been in practice since 1991 - visit The Back Pain Advisor - http://www.back-pain-advisor.com for valuable and expert advice, tips and information on your back pain issues.
The cause The most common cause of sciatica is a prolapsed (slipped) disc, pinched nerves or some form of arthritis. It usually starts with back pain which sometimes improves only to be followed by hamstring or calf pain. It may also include numbness in the toes depending on which branch of the sciatic nerve is irritated.
4 - Does your sciatica get worse or better with activity? Should you rest or be active? Does it make a difference to how fast you will heal? What activity is best to do?
Piriformis Stretching The sciatic nerve either runs through or next to the Piriformis muscles. If tight the Piriformis allows
to occur. So with all
, Piriformis stretching is essential. Stretching the Piriformis is simple and the same rules apply...
Address the interosseous membrane of low leg by addressing the x,y,z planes in the tissue and the tibia fibular relationship. Seated back work in flexion and extension, and push reach with pelvic triangle awareness. The back work at MDH should lengthen front and back proportionately. The client should be seated on rami with cued direction of awareness, rolling forward into flexion (yield) and extending up (push). Pelvic lift, general neck work and lift at the sub occipitals to end.
Stretching and exercising are a must if you really want to progress along the road to rehabilitation and if you are in extreme pain this is probably the last thing you will contemplate doing.
What it is
is the name people give to a pain in the buttock, leg or foot brought on as a direct result of some form of irritation to the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body. It runs all the way from the lower back splitting at the base of the spine and terminating in the foot.
Since getting mobile and becoming flexible is extremely important you might require some pain management to help you get going. For mild cases of
your doctor may start off by recommending non prescription medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, known as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. A downside of these drugs is that they may cause stomach upsets or bleeding.
The spine is made up of a series of connected bones called "vertebrae." Spondylolisthesis or isthmic spondylolisthesis occurs when a cracked vertebra slips over the vertebra below it. Poor posture and curvature of the back or weak abdominal muscles can contribute to this slippage, which can press on the nerve. The presence of this spondylolysis usually does not represent a dangerous condition in the adult and most treatments concentrate on pain relief and increasing the patient's ability to function.
Just imagine being able to walk freely, enjoy life, play with your children. All without that nagging sciatica that has become a real "pain in the butt". Life would be so much easier and happier, wouldn't it?
Is it chronic or acute? Does this mean you will end up living with
if you have had it for years? Will it continually get worse? 3 - What type of pain do you have?
If your pain is not relieved by analgesics or NSAIDs, your doctor might prescribe narcotic analgesics (such as codeine) for a short time. Side effects of these include nausea, constipation, dizziness and drowsiness, and continued use may result in dependency.
Rolfing Ten Series session three completes what was initiated in the first-hour, defining the body in three-dimensional space (x,y,z). This session should allow the inhibited tissue in the sleeve to ease, and enable the work to transition to a deeper layer in the fourth session.
This is a great opportunity to detail work up each vertebrae addressing side bends with rotations, and drift's of the thorax. The position of the vertebrae dictate's the direction of the drift. The ribs are directly affected by the asymmetry in the spine. The ribs are directly affected and acted upon by the position of the segments above and below one another. Make sure to work the x,y,z planes in the tissue of the IT band lateral line and continue to horizontalize the pelvis.
Simple questions that most of you do not know the answers to. The big five questions you need to know are: 1 - How far does your
can be helped and you can change your sciatica quickly. Learning to stretch and strengthen the main muscles that cause your sciatica can ease your pain quickly and remove that nagging
once and for all.
The discs which cushion the vertebrae in the lower back become progressively thinner and harder as we get older. This stresses the lower back and often causes a variety of lower back pain disorders, including sciatica.
The tissue can be navigated in the three planes of movement and dimension. The Frontal, sagital, and transverse planes are functional movement planes of potentials (x,y,z) that are usually inhibited because of asymmetries in the tissue and structure. The tissue in a similar manner has three primary planes of potential, it can lengthen, rotate, and flatten (x,y,z).
Sciatic pain is usually nerve related and responds well to treatment with low doses of tricyclic anti-depressant drugs like amitriptyline, dothiepin, nortriptyline, lofepramine, desipramine, clomipramine or imipramine combined with acupuncture or the use of TENs machines. The low dosage of the tricyclic drug acts by closing "a pain gate" blocking the message to the brain.

In actual fact there are 3 simple exercises that can help you to remove your sciatica and help to prevent any recurrences as well. They are as follows...
If this is achieved your
will disappear quickly and is easy to prevent. To stretch the hip flexors, you need to target them correctly and the most important aspect of stretching is not what to stretch, but when and how to stretch. Knowing when and how means you spend minimal time stretching with maximum gains. Easing tension can be achieved within days not weeks or months.
Abdominal strength requires a good nerve and blood supply to the abdominal muscles and then targeted exercise that increases the strength of these muscles in days. To improve your abdominals you need ideal strengthening techniques.
Sciatica is usually caused by a prolapsed or 'slipped' disc bulging and pressing on to a nerve. It doesn't usually cause permanent nerve damage since the spinal cord is not present in the lower part of the spine and a prolapsed or herniated disc in this area does not pose a risk of paralysis.
Different pain characteristics help you understand the actual cause of your pain and what you need to do to remove it. Do you know which type you have?
What to stretch is important, how and when to stretch is essential. Especially if you want to change your
quickly and permanently. Perfect stretching is the key!
profiles are a simple way you can assess your
to determine if it is serious or not. Whether you need to seek help or if you can help your self at home. Should you be active or not, and if you need to be active which activities are best.
The Cure Some cases of sciatica which result from inflammation get better with time and heal themselves perhaps within six weeks to three months.
Other treatments to manage sciatica include traction; manipulation by a skilled osteopath, physio therapist or chiropractor; Chemonucleolysis (injection of a special enzyme into the disk).
If it travels right down your leg does that mean it is more serious than pain in the buttock. If it is serious what should you do? 2 - How long have you had your back pain?
This information in this article should not be used to diagnose, treat, or prevent any disease. You should always consult with your health care professional especially relating to the suitability of supplements or drugs and on all health matters that may require diagnosis or medical attention. If you suffer from progressive weakness in the leg or bladder or bowel incontinence this constitutes a medical emergency and you should seek immediate medical attention - you may have cauda equina syndrome a serious condition due to compression of the nerve roots in the lower end of the spinal canal.

5 - How did you back pain start? Falls, injuries, a slow or sudden build up of sciatica. These can determine whether you should seek help or whether you can help your self at home. This is vital information.
Differentiate the arms from the scapula and address inspiration/expiration issues and horizontals by resolving the structures that are associated with the primary tilt contributors. The thorax to pelvis relationship of freeing eleventh and twelfth ribs, Q.L. and thoraco lumbar fascia down to L4 must all be addressed in the third-hour. Tractioning on the clients arm while it is extended above their head in sideline exposes the spatial relationships of these segments. Work to further normalize side bends with rotations in the spine and the effect that it has on the ribs.

Abdominal muscle strength does not mean spending countless hours doing sit-ups or crunches. In fact these types of exercises do little to strengthen the abdominals; they can actually target the hip flexors which if over tight help create your
The main goals in the third-hour are to address structural relationships that limit the lateral line, Z dimension, and address associated rotations/counter rotations in the arms, legs, and torso. Develop a more balanced relationship between the shoulder girdle and thorax enabling it to move freely on ribcage and in lateral line by addressing the structures that shift the body anterior and posterior.
There are many different treatments for
and it is important to discuss these with your health practitioner. Accurate diagnosis to determine the exact cause of sciatic pain is also equally important. The most conclusive diagnosis is usually gained by a having an MRI scan. However having said that skilled medical practitioners, and I include Osteopaths and Chiropractors, are often able to determine the suspected cause by carrying out a physical examination
If you knew the answer to some simple questions then you can easily determine whether you need help, if your sciatica will ease quickly or if you have something actually to be scared of.
Strengthen Your Abdominals Your abdominal muscles are the most important muscle for pelvis and lower back stability. Your sciatica is caused by irritation to the sciatic nerve. This is formed from 5 nerve roots that exit the last parts of your spine. If your abdominal muscles are stringer then these areas are more stable and able to move easier.
Is this likely? Or is your
only minor? Knowing the answers to these sciatica profile questions helps to dispel your fears and frustrations about sciatica. You can then relax knowing with confidence you do not need to be scared of your
As a last resort you may consider surgery to remove fragments of the prolapsed disc are then removed. As I mentioned earlier it is important to stay active and continue with an exercise and stretching program. Especially do exercises to develop your back and stomach muscles. This will help stabilize your spine and support your body.
Piriformis syndrome is a condition in which the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve. The piriformis muscle is a small muscle behind the gluteus maximus. Piriformis syndrome is most common among women, runners and walkers.
Recent studies have shown that bed rest is not necessarily the best way to treat
. It is better to remain active, starting off with some gentle stretching and exercise. Swimming is particularly useful, as it is not a weight bearing exercise. The good news is that herniated spinal discs usually do heal on their own, given time.
It is also important to maintain a reasonable body weight, ensure you have a good posture, sleep on a mattress that is neither too soft nor too hard, be careful when bending or lifting heavy weights.
In extreme cases spinal injections of corticosteroid into the epidural space (the area around the spinal nerves) or facet joint (between vertebrae) may be given. This is usually carried out by a specialist with follow up injections at a later date.
The 3 most important muscles to target if you suffer sciatica are the abdominal, hip flexor and Piriformis muscles. Target these and
is easily controlled.
Did you know there were 3 simple exercises that could dramatically change your
? Yes,
could actually ease and disappear and never to return. Wouldn't that be great!
The answers to these questions are essential if you want relief from your
. After all the biggest fear is that you will never be free of your sciatica pain, that you will need up needing surgery and therefore never get back to full activity.
The Certified Rolfing Ten Series has the ability to reduce pain and release tension in the connective and myofascial tissue of the body associated with TMJ, CTS, RLS, Fibromyalgia, Sciatica, Fascitis, Bunions, Scoliosis, and Cerebral Palsy. Fascial asymmetries can cause foot, leg, knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck, arm, hand, and head pain; integration therapy is necessary. Orthopedic, Chiropractic, Physical, and Massage Therapist recognize Rolfing and Rolf Movement as premium pain management utilizing Structural, Functional, and Postural Integration.
The scariest thing now is your
may never disappear. You may need up needing surgery or spend a life time with that nagging back pain. You may be worried now that your as your flexibility diminishes, there is no hope.
There is a fairly new procedure called IDET which stands for Iintro Discal Electrothermy). When a disc is herniated the water content of the inflamed disc causes it to bulge and press against the nerve. IDET dries up the disc very quickly, in less than 20 minutes, a process which might take weeks or months if left to dry up naturally

Other medications like Corticosteroids taken orally or by injection are sometimes prescribed for more severe back and leg pain because of their very powerful anti-inflammatory effect. Corticosteroids also have side effects and the pros and cons of taking them should be fully discussed with your doctor.
Spinal stenosis is the name given to the narrowing of the nerve channel (vertebral canal) of the spine. This narrowing causes compression of either the spinal cord within the vertebral canal, or the nerve roots that exit the spinal cord. People with spinal stenosis experience sciatic pain symptoms in the legs and feet. It usually results from degenerative arthritis causing a narrowing of the spaces in the vertebral canal. Manual workers are more prone to developing symptoms of spinal stenosis but it seldom affects people under 30 years of age - unless it is due to traumatic injury to the vertebrae.
Relax Your Hip Flexors The hip flexor muscle group if tight increases the curve of our lower back. This increases pressure on the sciatic nerve and allows your
to occur. The hip flexors and abdominal muscles work together. A strong abdominal group and a balanced hip flexor group give you stability, flexibility and strength in your lower spine.

An undisclosed injury has forced featherweight Rani Yahya (16-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC) out of a scheduled UFC 131 bout with Dustin Poirier (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC).
In his place steps British fighter and UFC newcomer Jason Young (8-3 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
UFC officials today announced the change to the June 11 card.
UFC 131 takes place June 11 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and the main card airs on pay-per-view. As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently reported, the event is expected to get a "UFC Prelims" special on Spike TV. Yahya vs. Poirier was one of the expected bouts, though it's not clear if it'll remain its tentative spot on the broadcast.
Poirier looks to follow up on an upset win over former top contender Josh Grispi at January's UFC 125 event. The contest marked the Louisianan's debut at 145 pounds after earning a 1-1 record in a two-fight stint as a lightweight under the WEC banner. The win over Grispi also marked Poirier's first career decision win after earning his first nine career victories via stoppage.
Young, a Cage Rage veteran, makes his UFC debut on the heels of a 4-1 run. His only loss during that span came to notable Paul Sass, who later signed with the UFC, in an Olympian MMA Championships title fight. That fight was expected to get the winner an invitation to a major U.S. organization. Sass got it, but Young won his next two fights (opponents' combined record 20-11-2) and now has his, as well.
The latest UFC 131 card now includes:
- Junior Dos Santos vs. Brock Lesnar
- Shane Carwin vs. Jon Olav Einemo
- Donald Cerrone vs. Mac Danzig
- Demian Maia vs. Mark Munoz
- Kenny Florian vs. Diego Nunes
PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)
- Yves Edwards vs. Sam Stout
- Dustin Poirier vs. Jason Young
- Anthony Perosh vs. Krzysztof Soszynski
- Darren Elkins vs. Michihiro Omigawa
- Jesse Bongfeldt vs. Chris Weidman
- Joey Beltran vs. Dave Herman

My posts on this blog for many years have been written on Apple computers and tablets. I am very much an admirer of Apple and its minimalist approach to design of both hardware and applications. They introduced the clean, light and almost austere look to computer screens which has since become a kind of standard part of succesful user interfaces. So I was struck by the new site of Alfa Laval.
To me its really beautiful and very Apple like. However at the same time it has some really good content which I am likely to share in future posts. For example this flowchart of a milk pasteuriser
This flowcharts are interactive linking to father information about the equipment including specifications, diagrams and even animation videos.
As usual I need to note that this information is linked to the equipment of Alfa Laval, which I am not passing any judgement on oe recommending. I do, however, believe that the value of clear information like this outweighs the fact it is linked to the supplier

5 Ways to Toot Your Own Horn
With the rise of email and digital marketing, you might be under the impression that print promotions are "dead," but nothing could be further from the truth. Reach your interested customers who are staggering under the weight of spam emails and poorly-targeted digital advertising with an impactful and beautifully designed print promotion.
Rules of the Road
Whether you're looking for a quick response to a particular promotion or your goal is to build interest over time with advertising, these key design rules will ensure that your message has the desired impact for your next project.
✔Repetition, Repetition, Repetition Sending out just one mailing piece will not provide you with the results that you would like. Instead, design a series of staggered, targeted promotions.
✔Make an Impact There's no need for subtlety in advertising. Insert a clear call to action, or next step, for your customers within the design.
Types of Promotions
No matter the promotion type, execution is critical. Poorly-presented type or design could ruin an otherwise clever idea -- taking it from eye-popping to eye-rolling in a moment. Below are five common promotion design types depending on your goal:
Is your business the best at what it does? Say so! Create a booklet that details your specific offerings or a simple postcard that drives people to a web-based landing page or to give you a call.
Brag Promotions
Brag promotions are the ideal way of letting your audience know that you've done something impressive. Win an award recently or get recognized within your community? Create a brag promotion as part of a larger project and include messaging about how the award will benefit your customers.
Capabilities Promotions
Want to let your clients know how many options you have available at their fingertips? Capabilities promotions are a great way to explain the breadth or depth of services that you offer.
Let your customers know you have a special event coming up soon. Host an open house, a business gala, or a community fundraiser, and use a creatively designed and printed invitation to spread the word.
"Just Because"
There is never a bad time to say "Thanks" or celebrate a special occasion. Send a printed and well-designed note to your customers for corporate anniversaries, holidays, or after a large order.
Ready to design and create print promotions and advertising that makes people take action? Give us a call, and we'll help you craft the perfect promotional piece that will get you noticed!

These Lace Holiday bowls can be found at Modern Tribe
Not Your Grandmother's Lace….
By: Anna Katsnelson
Have you mislaid that beautiful lace that your grandmother brought from Hungary, Romania or Spain? Did you want to use it on your table during the upcoming holidays? Are you longing to start a new tradition this Passover or to continue an old one? What better way to celebrate tradition than by introducing into your home beautiful objects made by a female Jewish artist.
These works of art are exquisite holiday gifts, and will be treasured forever.
Israeli artist, Talila Abraham, has just what you're looking for. Reclaiming lace for the 21st century, she creates antique lace designs on a variety of metals. Weaving metal like fabric, Abraham produces rare details on the everyday objects of a Jewish home. Elaborate mezuzahs, delicate coasters, dazzling serving bowls and platters are adorned with fine ornamentation.
Abraham uses stainless steel and brass to create intricate patterns that merge into flowers, leaves, petals, and snowflakes. From bobbin lace to ethnic embroidery: Abraham's influences are the lace-making traditions of Belgium, Holland, Italy, Romania, and even the Beduin nomads. Abraham acknowledges these cultures while reasserting that handmade textiles can have a new life in metals.
Abraham was born in 1965 and graduated from two of Israel's Technological institutes. She has devoted herself to researching and following in the footsteps of European and Middle Eastern lace-makers while creating an art work that is as relevant today as it was 100 years ago.
The Jewish Museum Shop in Manhattan has an exquisite selection of Talila Abraham's works for sale.

According to Comscore, in December 2009, Americans conducted 14.7 billion core searches, with Google Sites accounting for 65.7 percent search market share, virtually unchanged from 65.6 percent in November. Thus Google was searched 9.65 billions times in the US.
Google has noted in their official blog that "Proportion of Google result pages that show a map in search results: 1 in 13" ( based on our U.S. weekday traffic).
If we do a little back of the envelope calculation and estimate that 85% of searches never leave the front page, we can estimate that the map showed 1.15 times for every 13 front pages shown which means that is shows roughly 9 times per hundred searches.
If any of this is even remotely correct then a map was shown roughly 868 millions times during the month (9%) of December searches. This number is lower than the usual estimates of local searches and as Greg Sterling points out, many searches that show no local intent in fact are.How Often Did a Map Show on Google.com in December? 868 million times? by Mike Blumenthal

Police unions join fight against NYPD monitor
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City's police unions are seeking to stop a federal monitor from overseeing the NYPD.
The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association filed motions Thursday in Manhattan federal court on behalf of four police unions, and the Sergeant's Benevolent Association filed separately.
They took the first steps to appeal a federal judge's decision last month on the department's stop and frisk policy and are asking the court to intervene in the case.
Police have stopped, questioned and sometimes patted down about 5 million people over the past decade. The judge ruled that the policy violated the civil rights of hundreds of thousands of black and Hispanic men. She ordered a monitor to oversee changes to the policy including officer training, supervision, and paperwork.
If the motions are granted, they unions say they will allow them to have an active role in the appeal and any changes that come.
"Police officers, detectives, lieutenants and captains are the boots on the ground in the fight against crime and terrorism," said Patrick Lynch, president of the patrolmen's union, the largest in the country. "The establishment of a federal monitor may directly impact our members' safety, day-to-day responsibilities, and collective bargaining and other rights. So we believe that we should have standing to participate in arguing the appeal in order to protect those rights."
The police officers say in court papers that some of the changes proposed by the judge are not feasible for officers, and may lead to hastily-drafted accounts of encounters that could result in omissions and errors. Those problems could affect the officer down the road.

Hurricane in eye of storm of bids
Canadian-built Second World War fighter expected to sell for up to $2.5 million
Ottaw - A Canadian-built fighter plane from the Second WW,- a rare, gurviving' Hawker Hurricane Mk XIIa that's been meticulously restord and flies as well today
as it did when it rolled off the assembly line 70 years ago - is set to be sold at a British auction in December for up to $2.5million.
The privately owned specimen, according to Bonhams specialist Sholto Gilbertson, is one of fewer than 10 airworthy Hurricanes in existence, and has been a popular
attraction at the Imperial War Museum's aviation hub in Duxford, England. While the aircraft wasn't involved in overseas action, the auction house states, "it may have protected convoys on the East Coast shoreline from German U-boat activity or been used as a training aircraft."It's very rare," Gilbertson told Postmedia News. "The last airworthy Hurricane publicly offrered was sold in Europe in the 1980s."The Hurricane has been repainted to appear as one of the Royal Air Force fighter planes deployed during the sibge of Malta in 1941. But the aircraft is, in fact, one of about 1,400 manufactured in Canada during the 1939-45 war at the Canadian Car and Foundry assembly plant in Fort William, Ont., today part of Thunder Bay .hile most Hurricanes used during the war were produced in Britain, about 10per cent werebuilt in Canada under the direction of famed "Queen of the Hurricanes" Elsie MacGill, the CC&F aeronautical engineer who customized the aircraft's design for Canada's climate.
Accordingto a British database on historical aircraft, the plane to be sold by Bonhams was flown from Royal Canadian Air Force stations in Debert and Dartmouth, N.S., and Bagotville, Que.during the war.
Sold by the RCAF in 1947, the plane was owned for many years by a syndicate of Canadian aircraft enthusiasts before it was acquired by British collectors in 2002. Restored to airworthiness in the late 1980s, in 2005 the plane became the first Hurricane to fly overthe Mediterranean Ocean to Malta since the war. And this past summer, according to Bonhams, it also became the first Hurricane to fly to Russia since the war. Tim Schofield, a Bonhams director overseeing December's sale, said in a statement that the Canadian-built Hurricane "is one of only a handful of these iconic aircraft still flying today" The half-tonne Hurricane, with a l2-metre wingspan and measuring almost 10 metres from nose to tail, could achieve a top speed of more than 500 kilometres per hour and had a range of close to 1,500 kilometres. The Hurricane has been described as the "hero" of the Battle of Britain, during which it accounted for more than half of all enemy aircraft destroyed.

When Ben Kuchera was ushering me into his previous post as gaming editor here at Ars Technica, he urged me to do things my own way. But there was one tradition that he was adamant I continue when I took over his role: the annual Child's Play charity drive that we've been running on the site since 2007.
I was a little nervous about taking over such a large and noble undertaking, worried that I might come up embarrassingly short of last year's record $26,000 charity haul. Luckily, my nervousness was misplaced, as you readers proved your generosity again and again. All told, this year's Child's Play drive raised $28,713.52 worth of toys and games for sick children in hospitals around the world. Good job, guys!
I'll admit it's been a decent amount of work tallying up all those entries, picking and informing the winners chosen for our massive pile of swag, and preparing all those prizes for shipping. But whenever all that effort feels monotonous, I just look at that number, think about the giving spirit of all those readers, and imagine the kids whose hospital stay will be made a little easier.
We're already gathering swag for the 2013 giveaway, which will be taking place sometime in December. Here's hoping we can beat $30,000 next time around!
Some stats regarding the 2012 drive (and past drives), for numerically inclined readers:
- 2012 Fundraising total: $28,713.52
- Number of individual donations: 454
- Average donation: $63.25
- Median donation: $20
- Most common donation: $5 (86 donations)
- Top single donation: $5,000 (!)
- Donations of $1,000 or more: 4
- Donations of $100 or more: 43
- Donations of one penny: 1 (-_-*)
- Total Child's Play donations from Ars Technica drives since 2007 (approximate): $117,713.52
- 2011: $26,000
- 2010: $24,000
- 2009: $17,000

Today's Birthdays: June 26
June 26
Pearl S. Buck
1892–1973, American author, born in Hillsboro, W.Va., graduated Randolph-Macon Women's College, 1914.
Pearl Buck was awarded the 1938 Nobel Prize in Literature. Until 1924 she lived principally in China, where she, her parents, and her first husband, John Lossing Buck, were missionaries. She is famous for vivid, compassionate novels about life in China. The Good Earth (1931; Pulitzer Prize), considered her finest work, describes a Chinese peasant's rise to wealth and brilliantly conveys a sense of the daily life of ordinary Chinese people. Among her other novels of China are East Wind: West Wind (1930), Dragon Seed (1942), Imperial Woman (1956), and Mandala (1971). In 1935, she married her publisher Richard J. Walsh, president of the John Day Company. In 1949 she founded Welcome House, which provided care for the children of Asian women and American soldiers; the Pearl Buck Foundation of Philadelphia, to which she consigned most of her royalties, aids in the adoption of Amerasian children. Her more than 85 books include works for children, plays, biographies, and works of nonfiction, such as China As I See It (1970).
See her autobiography, My Several Worlds (1954); biography by T. F. Harris (2 vol., 1969–71).

ANNUAL MANUAL- Food Finder: Vineyards and Wineries
Afton Mountain Vineyards- Located on a beautiful spread in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, this mom and pop vineyard makes Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, a "Sweet Afton" dessert wine, and (yes, Sideways fans) one of the area's only Pinot Noirs. Given its mountain location, the view ain't bad either. Wed-Mon, 10am-6pm for most of the year. 540-456-8667.
Autumn Hill Vineyards/Blue Ridge Winery- Established in 1979, Autumn Hill calls itself "Virginia's Home of Serious Red Wine." But those who prefer whites should have no fear. In addition to such reds as Merlot and a "Horizon Rouge" Bordeaux-style blend, they also offer Chardonnay and Viognier. Open only for special events. 985-6100.
Barboursville Vineyards- Growing grapes on the estate with Thomas Jefferson's historic landmark ruins, this is one of Virginia's most acclaimed wineries, racking up awards from all over the country for wines young and old. Both Classic and Reserve selections are available. Open 10am-5pm Mon-Sat, 11am-5pm Sun. 540-832-7572.
Blenheim Vineyards- This vineyard's biggest boast– aside from the fact that it's owned by Dave Matthews– is Brad McCarthy, one of Virginia's leading winemakers. In addition to three types of Chardonnay, they also make Merlot, Meritage, and Petit Verdot and their signature Octagon red blend. Don't expect to just pull up and grab a glass, though. Tours and tastings are by appointment only. 293-5366.
Burnley Vineyards- This family-owned and -operated winery is one of the oldest in the area, offering several varieties of "Rivanna" blends in addition to more traditional wines. It's not a bad place to end an exhausting day of tasting, as the owners offer a guest house that sleeps four. Open daily 11am-5pm all year, except in the winter when they're closed Tues-Thurs. 540-832-2828.
Cardinal Point Vineyard & Winery- Here you can take in views of Rockfish Gap, Skyline Drive, and the Blue Ridge Parkway while sampling a bottle of white, a bottle of red, and perhaps a bottle of rosé (made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes). Open daily year-round 9:30am-5:30pm during the week, 11am-5:30pm on weekends. 540-456-8400.
Christensen Ridge- Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Vidal grapes cover 200 acres. A five-bedroom main house and a three-story log cabin are available for lodging. Open weekends 11am-5pm for most of the year. 540-923-4800.
Cooper Vineyards- This Louisa vintner has brought home medals galore from wine festivals across the country for everything from Merlot to a blend called Coopertage Blanc. All wines are aged in French Oak barrels with the exception of the Norton wine (made from a native Virginia grape) which is aged in oak from right here in the Commonwealth. Open 11am-5pm, daily in April-December, just on weekends January-March. 540-894-5253.
DelFosse Vineyards and Winery- Since they planted their first grapes only in 2000, this Nelson County winery is the newest in Central Virginia. Their 10 kinds of varietal grapes are planted in the European "terraced" style, one of the few vineyards in the Commonwealth to employ that style. Their first wines coming out now include international gold medal-winning bottles of Chardonnay and a blend called Cuvee Laurent. Open Wed-Sun 11am-5pm year-round. 263-6100.
First Colony Winery- With all due respect to fiddlers on roofs everywhere, this place is all about Old World tradition! Complete with a winemaker from France, First Colony has transplanted the craft from the Loire Valley to just east of the Shenandoah Valley. The wine list includes several dry whites, reds, and a "Sweet Shenando" off-dry blend. Open 11am-5pm daily year-round. 979-7105.
Gabriele Rausse Winery- This winery is mostly a small, private venture, and while it's not open to the public, Rausse himself can be spotted at various wine festivals and at his day job as associate director of gardens and grounds at Monticello. Offerings include Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and two kinds of Chardonnay, all available around town. 296-5328.
Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery- As the name suggests, there are very few grapes to be found here. Instead, the wines are made almost exclusively from sweeter fruits like blueberries, strawberries, peaches, and the house specialty, blackberries. They also make mead, perfect for your next Renaissance faire or jousting match. Open year-round, Wed-Sat 11am-5pm (9am-5pm in August, during berry season) and 1-5pm Sun. 361-1266.
Horton Cellars Winery- Whether it's the annual pig roast, the six varieties of fruit wine, or the "Dom Virginion"– purportedly the world's first and only sparkling Viognier– this Orange County vineyard is far from traditional. But after gold medals in several competitions across the country came home to Orange, nobody seems to be complaining. Open 10am-5pm daily year-round. 540-832-7440.
Jefferson Vineyards- This vintner borrows the name of Virginia's most famous wine connoisseur with good reason. The land used to grow their grapes is on the site of Mr. Jefferson's original 1774 vineyard, a mile south of Monticello. In "truly fulfilling Jefferson's vision," they make a wide variety of red and white wines and two "Jefferson's Own" blends. Open 10am-6pm daily year-round. 977-3042 or 1-800-272-3042.
Keswick Vineyards- Located on the Edgewood Estate in the eastern part of Albemarle Coutny, Keswick has a decidedly narrow focus, offering only seven kinds of wine. The lack of quantity doesn't appear to have hurt the quality, however. Their 2002 Viognier Estate Reserve was voted "Best White Wine in America" at an Atlanta competition. Tasting room open daily 9am-5pm. 244-3341.
King Family Vineyards- Look for Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc in addition to several blends and four bottles of Michael Shaps brand wines, named for the winemaker they share with DelFosse Vineyards. Open 9am-5pm Mon-Fri, 11am-5pm Sat-Sun year-round. 823-7800.
Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard- With a view looking down on Monticello, this Carter Mountain vineyard makes wine with a decidedly nontraditional bent. Aside from a sparkling Chardonnay, all the wines are blends made from 50 acres of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay grapes. Open daily 10am-5pm year-round. 977-3895.
Mountain Cove Vineyards & Wine Garden- While Al Weed might be better known now as a Congressional hopeful, he also happens to be one of the founders of the Old Dominion's latter-day cult of viticulture. His Mountain Cove is Virginia's oldest continually operated winery. This Nelson County vineyard offers a small variety of exclusive blends and sweet wines made from locally grown fruit. Open daily noon-6pm March through October and 11am-5pm November through December. 263-5392.
Old House Vineyards- Seventy-five acres of Culpeper real estate and a restored 19th-century farmhouse constitute these newer vineyards. Having won awards from domestic and international wine festivals for everything from Chardonnay to a red blend called "an Samhradh," it's an up and comer in the Virginia wine game. Open Mon, Thurs, and Fri 1-5 pm, Sat 11am-5pm, and Sun noon-5pm or by appointment. 540-423-1032.
Oakencroft Vineyard & Winery- Almost literally a stone's throw from the Charlottesville city limits, this is Albemarle County's oldest winery. In spite of its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Hooktown, the location has a country feel complete with a lake and a view of the Blue Ridge. Among the wines are a Virginia State Fair gold medal-winning Seyval Blanc and one of the area's only bottles of Chambourcin. Open 11am-5pm daily for most of the year. 296-4188.
Prince Michel Vineyards- As anybody driving to or from Washington knows, Prince Michel Vineyards are conspicuously located right on Route 29 a few miles south of Culpeper. In addition to area favorites like Cabernet Franc and Merlot, they make Shiraz, a rare find in central Virginia. Whether you buy wine made under their Virginia, Madison, or Rapidan labels, a portion of your money goes to the Leducq Foundation for cardiovascular research. Open daily 10am-6pm except during the week in winter, when hours are 10am-5pm. 540-546-3707.
Rockbridge Vineyard- This is no fly-by-night winery. Owner and winemaker Shepherd Rouse has been serious about his viticulture and his Commonwealth for decades and married his two passions in 1988 when he planted five acres of grapes at his farm in Rockbridge County. Since then, this European-schooled vitner has produced several acclaimed vintages, including three Virginia Governor's Cup winners. Open Tues-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun-Mon noon-5pm. 1-888-511-9463.
Stone Mountain Vineyards- Inspired by the grapes grown in the mountains on either side of Europe's Rhine River Valley, this vineyard is distinctive for its high elevation (1,700 feet) in relation to the rest of Central Virginia. With only four kinds of wine, including two house blends, it's the only winery in the area with a wine made as "a tribute to moonshiners and the revenue agents who pursued them." Open weekends for most of the year, Fri-Sun 11am-5pm. 990-9463.
Veritas Winery- Latin proverbs aside, the Veritas wine list is indeed true to European tradition, offering wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Claret. In-house specialty blends include Kenmar, a fruity dessert wine, and a dark red called Othello. The Afton vineyard also features another one of Virginia's famous exports– there's a stable of horses on site. Open weekdays 9:30am-5pm, weekends 11am-5pm, year round. 540-456-8000.
White Hall Vineyards- This western Albemarle County vineyard boasts several accolade-winning wines, including a national gold medal Cabernet Franc and several state-recognized Chardonnays. For the femme fatale in your life, they make a deep blend called Breakheart Red. Feel free to bring a lunch to picnic under the oak trees. Open Wed-Sun, 11am-5pm year round. 823-8615.
Wintergreen Vineyard & Winery- After an exhilarating day of skiing (or falling, depending on your proficiency) on the slopes of Wintergreen Resort, you can enjoy a wide range of red and white wines at the nearby vineyard of the same name. Offerings include multiple award-winning varieties of Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and even raspberry wine. Open daily year-round, 10am-5pm in the fall and winter, 10am-6pm when the weather gets warmer. 361-2519.

This has nothing to do with anything other than I think it's the cutest thing I have ever seen. FELTED PASTA. In fact, felted ravioli and felted bowtie (or farfalle) pasta.
I may have to go on a search to create a complete grocery store of felted foods and fixins… Adorable!

New Zealand researchers have found a new way to fight chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, a blood cancer that affects one in 400 Kiwis over the age of 70.
Haematologist Robert Weinkove of the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research said bone marrow transplantation was currently the only curative treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and involved replacing the immune system of patients with that of a matched donor.
Such transplants can be problematic: not all patients find a donor; patients are prone to infections for months or even years afterwards; and the treatment can be so toxic that it is not suitable for many.
Dr Weinkove said that to identify lower-risk immune therapies, researches focused on a rare type of immune cell called "invariant natural killer T" (iNKT).
"Previous research at the Malaghan Institute and overseas has shown that iNKT cells can be activated by a compound called alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer), which was first found in a Japanese marine sponge.
"This leads to significantly enhanced tumour-specific immune responses."
Dr Weinkove collected blood samples from 40 patients with CLL and from 30 healthy volunteers of a similar age, from the greater Wellington region.
He then undertook a series of laboratory tests to compare the number and function of the iNKT cells from these individuals.
"We found that we could detect and isolate iNKT cells from individuals with CLL, and that these cells were able to respond to alpha-GalCer," he said.
"This is important because it suggests that iNKT cells remain functional in these patients, and that targeting them with treatments like alpha-GalCer might be a way of enhancing their ability to drive anti-cancer immune responses."
The researchers will next see if the laboratory results can be replicated in patients.
"Designing and running safe clinical trials is a major undertaking, but we are exploring a number of ideas, including the possibility of giving alpha-GalCer to patients with blood cancers to boost their immune responses."
The research was published in the scientific journal Haematologica.

Last season's older veterans were tremendous for the Knicks, but they also got hurt and/or slowed down. We have some youth, I think our biggest probably right now is probably lack of high IQ veterans, and maybe lack of IQ period.
I'd love Andre Miller on this team. Not only is he an older veteran with high IQ, but he's only missed ten games in his career I think.
I'd love Faried on this team. A VERY energetic player who would greatly improve the Knicks' rebounding.

The nation's economic "recovery" continues to stagger along in fits and jags, with some months being better than others and a lot of unanswered questions in terms of the quality of the jobs that are being created. But not all the news has been dismal. There is also unevenness in the hiring landscape regionally, and some places have been doing considerably better than others. One metric for seeing how this is playing out is provided by The Business Journals and their current ranking of 45 governors based on their job creation record. Five governors who were sworn in this year were not rated, as not enough data has been reported and accumulated yet.
There seems to be more than a few hints in this data which could lead to some interesting conclusions. Let's start off by looking at who came in at the top five on the list. (The links on each name will take you to job creation details for each governor. The rest are available at the link.)
1. Jack Dalrymple (R-North Dakota)
2. Rick Perry (R-Texas)
3. Gary Herbert (R-Utah)
4. Bill Haslam (R-Tennessee)
5. Bobby Jindal (R-Louisiana)
You can probably pick up a few consistent themes with only a quick glance at that list. First, these are all red states with Republican governors. (Duh.) The top two are energy producers, where the government has moved aggressively to employ new technology to expand America's domestic production potential. Louisiana probably benefits from the continued recovery from natural disasters, returning population and a lot of rebuilding, in addition to fairly sound fiscal management. And they are all states which have worked to foster a business (and job) friendly tax environment since the meltdown a few years ago.
Tennessee was something of a puzzler to me, though the results are undeniable. Since taking office in 2011, TN Governor Bill Haslam has seen an increase of roughly 150,000 jobs from the approximately 2.2 million jobs in the state when he was sworn in. I tend to think of the Volunteer State being very heavy in tourism jobs for the urban areas, with some level of agricultural activity in the rural zones, so it was a bit surprising to see them doing so well during a stagnant economic period.
So who came in at the bottom?
41. Tom Corbett (R-Pennsylvania)
42. Lincoln Chafee (D-Rhode Island)
43. (tie) Paul LePage (R-Maine)
43. (tie) Susana Martinez (R-New Mexico)
45. Matthew Mead (R-Wyoming)
Well, four of those five were Republicans too, so there's another perfectly good theory shot to H. E. Double toothpicks. I was particularly surprised to see Pennsylvania on that end of the list, given the boom in shale drilling they've experienced there over the last few years. But that really only benefits the center of the state, ("Pennsyltucky" as it's known) and may not be providing enough of a surge to overcome the collapse in the cities. There's nothing anecdotal about the other four which jumps out at me immediately, but perhaps some of you more familiar with the details in those states can chime in.

Last year I quit my job in the city, moved back home, and made the decision to move back into archaeology. It was a very difficult decision to make as I had to give up the life I was used to in London, but I feel it was the right one. I'm very passionate about community archaeology, and I believe it is important for people to be aware of the landscape and history around them as this helps to increase the understanding of their heritage and identity. I also believe that so many skills can be gained through participation, both practical and personal.
When I first left my job I was so nervous I'd be unable to find any volunteer roles, and I'd be sitting around not working at all. How wrong I was! I've been very lucky to be involved in a range of amazing projects and the experience I've gained has been invaluable.
As my main interest is community archaeology I tried to focus on getting experience in that, both in how community archaeology works behind the scenes, and general experience of working with the public. I've been involved in a range of projects over the last few months. Rather than focus on one day, I'm going to give an overview of each of them, along with a link to their websites so you can find out more.
The first place I got involved in at the beginning of the year was the Portable Antiquities Scheme. My nearest branch is in Winchester, with the Winchester Museums Service. I had experience working with finds on excavations, but I rarely got to see anything other than pottery and animal bones, so the experience has been so important. The scheme is a funded project to record archaeological objects found by members of the public in England and Wales. Most of the finds are bought in by metal detectorists, but not all. It has been really successful in encouraging good practice in finders and land owners, and many finds have been recorded on the database, including the location of where they were found. I am one of the many volunteers round the country who help to photograph and record these finds. I feel very fortunate to be able to handle these items, and learn more about them.
As well as recording items, I've also been on training courses during my time with the PAS. I've had a day course on Roman coins at the British Museum, and a really interesting session on Roman brooches, and the different types. The Portable Antiquities Website is: http://finds.org.uk
I then got involved at Stonehenge, signing up to be a Neolithic House Interpreter. I took all the training, and then the opportunity came up to work on building the houses too. It was a fantastic experience, as it really gave me insight into how these buildings could have been built originally and the range of materials available. It was great to look at the archaeological evidence from Durrington Walls, and really think about how these buildings were first built, and how they were used. I also really enjoyed daubing, using a mixture of chalk, water and straw to cover the walls, it's very therapeutic! The houses were built under the guidance of the Ancient Technology Centre, more information can be found here – http://www.ancienttechnologycentre.co.uk
The volunteers have also received training on fire training (very important in a house made of wood and straw!), bread making, flint knapping, and clothing and organic materials. This is so beneficial and has really helped when speaking to visitors onsite.
As the houses only opened at the beginning of June, I've only done a few sessions as a house interpreter, but the knowledge gained on the building of the houses has really benefited. I feel I can really explain to the public about how the houses were created. I'm also very proud of the houses and the team that worked on them, they are beautiful structures. More information can be found on the Neolithic Houses blog – http://neolithichouses.wordpress.com
These are the two main projects I've been involved in, but I've also had the odd day here and there. I helped to survey the roof of Hampton Court Palace, which was a bit scary balancing on the wooden beams! I've also done some work with the East Oxford Project helping to sort finds from test pits, and attending a really interesting pottery weekend run by Paul Blinkhorn. I additionally spent a day in the Natural History Museum in Oxford moving small mammal skulls, and repacking them into more suitable containers!
So, although I'd absolutely love a proper paid secure job (it's exhausting fitting in the babysitting and gardening!) I feel very privileged to be involved in all these projects, which is why I wanted to write about all of them. There is such a range of work going on around the country, and it's very exciting.

Flattered, but Annoyed
"I want Mommy!" A phrase my poor husband hears our son, Isaac, utter much more often than he he cares to. To be honest though, I'm not sure who it annoys more, him or me! We're assuming it's a stage (Isaac's 2). Praying it's a stage. But nonetheless, it's something we're forced to deal with now, till this assumed "stage" is over.
Bedtime seems to be the worst, which is so hard because my husband, like most dads, works during the day. The evening time is his one good shot each day at getting some quality time with Isaac. And boy, do I love it when my husband does bedtime!
BUT Isaac refuses for anyone but Mommy to read him stories lately. Daddy is not allowed. Auntie Rebecca is not allowed. Grandma is not allowed. Only Mommy. If you try to insist, he will throw the biggest crying fit you've ever seen. I kid you not.
I'm flattered. Really. I mean, what a sincere compliment, right? Isn't he basically telling me, "Nobody reads a story like you read a story, Mom?" If he only had the vocabulary, that's exactly what he would say to us. It would be even more flattering if he weren't also likely to say (given the right vocab), "Nobody wipes my butt like you do, Mom." and "Nobody knows how to fix a cup of chocolate milk like you do, Mom."
So... I guess it's really more annoying than flattering. I want Daddy to have reading time with his Isaac. I think that's really important (and it's important that Mommy gets a few minutes of Mommy time once in a while). But how do you make that happen when you have a very resistant 2-year-old? Wait it out? Force it? Feels like we've tried everything else.
While you guys ponder that, I'm going to go get Isaac. I hear him waking up from his nap, and word around the Watson house is that nobody knows how pick him up out of his crib like me!
