NORMAN — Local farmer donates fruit trees
Norman resident Susan Bergen, owner of PeachCrest Farms, has been supplying fresh produce to schools across Oklahoma through the statewide Farm to School program since 2008. This month, Bergen and PeachCrest Farms, in conjunction with OKC Beautiful, give students a new place to reach for fresh fruit with the donation of apple and pear trees to Oklahoma City metro schools. PeachCrest is supplying 44 locations with fruit trees. Schools were offered a minimum of four trees and a maximum of 12.
Both the apple and pear trees reproduce through cross pollination. A group of four trees includes three of one variety and one of another. The apple and pear varieties were specifically selected for their ability to thrive in current conditions.
Hiland Dairy
Quality Chekd Dairies selected Hiland Dairy Foods Company of Norman as one of four finalists competing for the 2013 Production Excellence Award, which recognizes the best single plant for dairy production quality excellence.
"Our team works diligently day in and day out to ensure safe, quality products throughout our plant," said General Manager Randy Richison. "Being named a finalist for the Production Excellence Award tells us we are doing the right things."
Selection criteria for the Production Excellence Award include the results of the evaluation of their plant's process and systems for assuring product quality, and monthly laboratory test scores. Quality Chekd, a member-owned organization of independent dairy processors, will announce the winner at its 2013 QCS Leadership Conference taking place April 21-24 at the Hilton Riverside Hotel in New Orleans.

The religious elephant in the rape room
The GOP elephant in the rape room is this: among the socially conservative base of the Republican Party is a core group of faith-based misogynists who believe 1) women lie about being raped, and 2) that it's the women's fault when she gets raped. The code words and dog whistles about "forcible rape" and the jihad against birth control …

GOP to Akin: You are screwing up our agenda to screw over women
So Paul forcible-rape Ryan and friends called on Todd legitimate-rape Akin to drop out of the race. Otherwise, their plans to cut further taxes on conservative zillionaires by fucking over women will be endangered by Akin's untimely quip about one branch of wingnut pseudoscience used to fuck over women. So far Akin has declined to drop out, and if he does the evangelical …

By GREG MENGELT
A year ago, Floyd Central won its first Hoosier Hills Conference girls' track and field championship in 21 years.
On Tuesday, the Highlanders have an opportunity to win its second in a row.
Floyd enters the meet at Blair Field in Jeffersonville as the meet favorites — but not by much. Perennial HHC powers Columbus East and Jeffersonville, and Seymour figure to push the Highlanders for the title.
"I think Columbus East, Seymour and Jeff will have strong performances on Tuesday and will push us pretty good," Floyd coach Kyle Weigleb said.
The Highlanders figure to dominate the pole vault with favorite Rachael Kavgazoff and the 1,600 and 3,200 relays, as they have all year. Plus, state qualifier Leah Wolf is the favorite in the discus, and Jamie Bierman and University of Southern Indiana signee Alyssa Moore figure to score big in the 800. Madison Kaiser also has a shot to win the shot put.
"They're strong in the distance [events], we're strong in the sprints," Jeff coach Ericka Herd evaluated. "They've beaten us three times this year, but all three times we've gotten closer. I respect their program to the fullest, but I always coach to win. I don't care what the odds are. That's the goal, to win."
Freshman Hailey Lacy has a chance to win at least two events for the Red Devils. She's the favorite in the long jump and the 400. Nycia Ford is also a double threat in the shot put and the hurdles and Chelsea Lewis is among the contenders in the sprinting events.
New Albany entered the year as serious contenders but has been set back by the loss of Phoebe Bauer. The Memphis recruit confirmed last week that she's out for the season.
However, led by Jayla Bethel, the Bulldogs should be strong in the sprints. Bailey Knable could also contend in the distance events.
Henryville has won six SAC championships in a row. Thanks for Sadie Spears, the Hornets should make it seven on Thursday.
The SAC runs its conference meet different than the others. The girls' running events are held on Tuesday at the same time as the boys' field events. On Thursday, they switch. So neither champion will be crowned until Thursday.
Spears should give the Hornets a huge lead. The junior is a heavy favorite in the 1,600 and the 3,200. In fact, if form holds, she may lap the entire field in the 3,200.
She could also win the 800 and her 3,200 relay team is favored.
"She's got a tough day," Henryville coach Josh Conrad said. "I told her to go out and see what she can do."
Natalie Uhl will contend with Borden's Carson Casey in the shot put and discus and Megan O'Lone could give the Hornets a win in the 400.
"Conference is something we want to go out and win," Conrad said. "It's a chance for us to win a championship."
Borden and New Washington will also have several contenders.
The 3,200 relay is seeded just ahead of Henryville. Leslie Beatty is the favorite in the 400 and the 800 and Shelby Kirchgessner is a contender in the 300 hurdles and the pole vault. Casey is the top seed in both throwing events despite having knee surgery following basketball season.
Alicia Harrod, Kriston Sarver and Brooke Abbott give New Wash several potential champions and frontrunners. Harrod is the heavy favorite in the 100 and 200. Sarver's the favorite in the high jump and will push Harrod in the sprints. Abbott is the second seed in the 100 hurdles. Harrod, Sarver and Abbott team up to make the Mustangs the favorite in the 400 relay.
Although no area MSC team figures to compete with defending champion Brownstown Central, North Harrison and Salem, all three have athletes who should contend for individual titles at Eastern on Tuesday.
Silver Creek's Emily Chrisman is the top seed in the discus and is second in the shot put, while Charlestown's Megan Brooks goes in No. 1 in the shot and No. 2 in the discus. Maggie Shields is the top seed in the 800 and should finish high in the 1,600 for the Dragons. Brittany Sharp is the second seed in the 3,200 behind North Harrison star Ashton Bosler. The Dragons' 3,200 relay ranks only behind Salem.
Also for Silver Creek, Emory Lewis (long jump) and Elizabeth Mann (100 hurdles) should have high finishes.
Charlestown's Alysha Flaget is seeded behind only Morgan McNeely of Scottsburg in the 400 and Lauren Crowe should pick up points in the 300 hurdles and the high jump.
Eastern's Katie Ernstberger should qualify for the championship heat in the 100. Ernstberger's 400 and 1,600 relay teams are both seeded fourth.
Heavy-favorite Borden could pick up some key points on Tuesday. Brett Williams and Henryville's Alex White figure to push each other in the shot put. Williams is the second seed to South Central's Logan Carter in the discus. Michael Lynch should win the pole vault with little trouble.
New Wash's Ian Hughes has a legitimate shot to win the high jump. He is the co-top seed with three others.

Unlike their rising stars to the north, where the excitement surrounding the youthful Edmonton Oilers is palpable and maybe even beyond rational exuberance, the Calgary Flames come into the shortened 2012-13 season dealing with the lowest of outside expectations. Sports oddsmakers have installed them as 50-1 long-shots to win the Stanley Cup and only three teams the Columbus Blue Jackets, the New York Islanders and the Winnipeg Jets face longer odds.
Their captain, Jarome Iginla, is after all a notorious slow starter, in a transitional year in which his contract is set to expire and nursing a minor groin pull. The player they signed to step in as their No. 1 centre, free-agent Roman Cervenka, is sidelined indefinitely with a blood clot is in his leg. Their newest sniper up front, Jiri Hudler, reported for duty Monday, and then informed the team he had to go back to the Czech Republic to deal with an illness to his father. There is a new coach, Bob Hartley, who could have used a real training camp to teach his systems and theories to the team, instead of having to introduce them on the fly.

Justin is the cross media reporter for ABC Illawarra, based in Wollongong.
He joined the ABC in 2006 after completing a journalism degree at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, and since then has worked as a producer or presenter on morning, breakfast and afternoon radio programs in Dubbo, Orange, Lismore and Wollongong.
In recent years he has swerved into multimedia journalism, and now he works in ABC radio's online department, which sees him posting features to the ABC Illawarra website.
It allows him to combine writing, photography, video and audio work into the one very lucky job.
One of his first stories was as a work experience student at ABC Riverina in his home town of Wagga Wagga, badly interviewing tourists at the local river (also known as the 'beach') about the mythical '5 o'clock wave'.
It's suffice to say his work is now far more listenable.
Outside of journalism he's especially interested in playing and listening to music, the beach, wine and neuroscience.
Living in the Illawarra with its beautiful coastline, arts scene, university and occasional vineyard, he can finally combine them all.

BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER, Scotland is, of course, known for its national drink: whisky. What I didn't really realize until we made our way across the Atlantic late last month is that they also have a thriving beer business, and one notable soft drink, AMARYL gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release.
• Soft drink
Aside from water, Purchase AMARYL, and one Coke, our soft drink selection was simply Irn Bru. It has been made in Scotland for about 100 years, is AMARYL addictive, and yet its ubiquitous existence over there has not made it anywhere near stateside. AMARYL results, My guess is that it has to do with Irn Bru's coloring, and well, our pretty wide selection of sodas in the United States, AMARYL for sale.
It's hard to describe the taste of the bright orange and bubbly beverage but I'd say it's akin to cream soda if not exactly the same, BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER.
• Beer
As beer snobs, Buy AMARYL online no prescription, we enjoyed trying a multitude of brews from throughout Scotland. We may have had an odd English beer here or there, but we did not venture outside Britain for any of our many beers during our trip, AMARYL forum.
It was intriguing as a pale ale and IPA connoisseur to try hoppy beers that did not use the same type of hops that are common in the U.S. AMARYL without prescription, We had more than a few Scapa Specials, made in Orkney by the Highland Brewing Co. BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER, We also tried to make our way through all the Orkney Brewery beers, though not while we were bike bound nor all in one go (their most famous Skull Splitter can be found in the U.S.).
[caption id="attachment_715" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Valhalla Brewery beers we sampled at the cafe inside the Shetland Museum in Lerwick."][/caption]
We also tried beer from Britain's most northerly brewery, AMARYL use, Valhalla, About AMARYL, on Unst in the Shetlands.
After seeing many, many people purchase Tennent's, AMARYL brand name, we decided to do the same. AMARYL pics, The Glasgow-based beer is like the Budweiser of Scotland, but it actually has some flavor. It can also be found in the United States; we know, AMARYL online cod, because we got a four-pack at John's Grocery in Iowa City last week.
[caption id="attachment_716" align="aligncenter" width="256" caption="Tennent's is the Irn Bru of beer, it seems, BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER. Buy AMARYL no prescription, Also, tasty."][/caption]
• Whisky (Scotch)
Whisky, where to begin, ordering AMARYL online. We started with some informal tastings while awaiting a ferry to the Shetlands, Fast shipping AMARYL, trying both one of our favorites of the trip and one of the worst. We really got our education, however, AMARYL reviews, when we got back to Edinburgh. Online AMARYL without a prescription, Several pubs have a selection of single malts and blended whiskies that put to shame the entire liquor selection at many of our local bars (Of course, the Scottish city is also much bigger). BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER, We had a few drams, including a flight, at The Black Cat following our fried sample platter. The next day we got an official tasting at Bennets Bar, where can i buy cheapest AMARYL online.
[caption id="attachment_717" align="aligncenter" width="205" caption="Bennets Bar is one of the oldest in Edinburgh, AMARYL photos, and it's got a wide selection of whiskies, divided by Scottish region behind the bar."][/caption]
We sampled three whiskies. Two of them were from the Balvenie distillery, AMARYL cost, which is a Speyside whisky, AMARYL description, and offered us a lesson in how different casks can give a whisky different flavors. We also tried Talisker Storm, an Island whisky, what is AMARYL.
[caption id="attachment_718" align="aligncenter" width="168" caption="We had few bad whiskies while in Scotland, BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER. The ones at the tasting were among the best we sampled, AMARYL pharmacy, though."][/caption]
From the tasting, we also learned enough to ask for a couple more interesting choices that were hiding behind the bar.
Before our trip, AMARYL natural, I was not the biggest fan of Scotch. AMARYL dangers, I like our American whiskey, but the smoky peaty flavor of Scotch was a turn off. From our education in Scotland, AMARYL trusted pharmacy reviews, I came to appreciate those flavors a little more. BUY AMARYL OVER THE COUNTER, But more importantly, I learned about the regions and that there are plenty of Scottish whiskies I wish I could have sitting in my liquor cabinet. Purchase AMARYL online no prescription, It probably also helped that the most expensive choices here are somewhat more reasonably priced across the Atlantic Ocean.
The good news is we bought a bottle of our favorite, a 16-year single malt from the Scapa Distillery on Orkney, order AMARYL from United States pharmacy. And, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, anytime we want to splurge, we now know which ones are worth the expense.
Now, settling back into our life in Iowa, I'm hoping to use one of my days off during Labor Day to do some grilling or cooking.

EAGLE, Wis. (AP) -- The tornado that hit a southeastern Wisconsin city caused at least $20 million in damage.
Waukesha County spokeswoman Julianne Klimetz says that figure is expected to rise because damage assessment is still being conducted. She expects it to be concluded within a week.
Lori Getter, a spokeswoman for Wisconsin Emergency Management, tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the state may seek federal disaster relief after the damage assessments are done.
A federal disaster declaration will allow governments to recover costs of response services and could assist residents who have no insurance and businesses.
Eagle's sirens failed to sound and officials are still trying to determine why the sirens failed.
Waukesha County officials have said at least 25 homes were destroyed. Gov. Jim Doyle has declared a state of emergency.

NORTH MANKATO — Pit bulls mingled with labs. Puppies got to know mastiffs. And people chatted with people.
The Bluff Park scene Saturday was neighborly, dog-friendly and a great prologue to National Dog Week, which is celebrated annually during the last full week of September. A new foster-based animal rescue, which also organized Saturday's gathering at the park, is using this week as an opportunity to reach out to the community and raise some awareness.
Faith, Hope and Forever Animal Rescue isn't just a foster organization. It's also a resource for pet owners and the community in general, said Kristy Olson, co-director and foster coordinator.
The organization connects people with financial resources if they're having trouble with vet bills. They help educate people on dog behaviors and help ensure families get along swell with their new four-legged friends. And they're steadfast animal advocates, Olson said.
"I think it's about raising awareness in general (about all of these things)," Olson said of the group's purpose this week.
So, just as the group has been doing since it began in June, they have tons of upcoming activities planned to raise awareness about Faith, Hope and Forever, about fostering animals and about pet ownership, in general. And those activities begin this week, with a two-hour gathering today through Thursday at the Kiwanis dog park on Highway 169.
From 6-8 p.m. nightly, people are encouraged to bring their dogs, learn about the rescue, have some lemonade, meet some animals up for adoption, donate needed supplies, or learn about volunteer opportunities.
The organization has fewer than 20 volunteers who help foster animals, and there's always a need for more, Olson said. Volunteers don't necessarily have to take pets into their homes; there's also a need for such things as bringing animals to vet appointments.
Every bit helps in working toward the nonprofit's mission, Olson said, which is to save as many animals as possible and get them into "forever homes."
If You Go What: A National Dog Week celebration, organized by Faith, Hope and Forever Animal RescueWhen: 6-8 p.m. today through Thursday at the Kiwanis dog park on Highway 169, just north of the Highway 14 intersectionInfo: faithhopeandforever.org; Sandi Braun, 327-9660, or email@example.com

Begonia mixed doubles
begonia bulbs
- Position: full sun to partial shade
- Soil: any well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average to fast
- Flowering period: June to October
- Flower colour: mixed
- Hardiness: tender, so store frost free over winter
- Bulb Size: 4-6cm
Begonias are valued for their showy flowers, which appear for a very long period from early summer. They are one of the best bedding plants for areas of partial shade, as a lack of direct sun all day does not seem to have any significant impact on their ability to produce an abundance of flowers. The tubers (bulbs) in this fab collection will produce plants that flower in an array of bright colours, which will liven up the summer garden. Dot them around the front of the border, or cram your pots and window boxes with them.
- Garden care:Pot up in early spring when the growth can be seen emerging from the tubers. Begonias are tender so must be protected by frosts, however you can pot them up and grow them on under glass from January onwards. The indented side of the tuber is the top, and this should just be covered by a fine layer of compost. Water well and keep them in a bright, warm spot, watering again only when the soil becomes quite dry. Once they are actively growing they can be watered more regularly, especially those growing in sunnier positions, but make sure that the compost or soil is never overly wet or waterlogged. During the growing season they can be fed with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Begonias grown in the ground should be lifted before the first hard frosts and left to die back before being stored in a well ventilated, dry place over the winter. Container-grown plants should be brought under cover during winter and 'potted on' into a slightly larger container each year in spring.
Planting bulbs
Bulbs are ideal for anyone who rates themselves as 'keen-but-clueless' because they are one of the easiest plants to grow. Provided you plant them at the right time of year at more or less the right depth, they will reward you year after year with a relRead full article
Hardening off new plants
Move plants to a coldframe about two or three weeks before you intend to plant them out. Hardy plants such as spring bedding can be moved out to the coldframe as soon as they are large enough. Tougher summer bedding plants, such as alyssum, can be moved oRead full article
Overwintering Tender Perennials
Tender perennials, such as pelargoniums, fuchsias, osteospermums and marguerites look great all summer, but unless they are given protection from the harsh winter weather, they will need to be replaced each spring. If you can do this, they will last for yRead full article
Planning ahead with Bulbs
One of the great things about gardening is being able to look into the future with enthusiasm, and part of that is planting now for next spring. A gardener knows, when handling papery brown bulbs, that these insignificant little things will produce earlyRead full article

text: At Steinhausen, we know a few things about great belts. So, when I saw the great new invisibelt mentioned in an article published in a Los Angeles fashion trade publication, I had to check it out. It's a novel idea and looks like a great product. While I'll stick with my Quick Zip Belt, the Invisibelt is a great item for women that solves a very real problem in women's fashion. As the maker of one innovative belt, I have to tip my hat to Kathy Kramer and her great innovation.

The P-16 Council, authorized in 2003 under Texas Education Code §61.076, is responsible for ensuring that long-range plans and educational programs for the state complement the functioning of the entire system of public education, extending from early childhood education through postgraduate study.
In Texas, the P-16 collaborative began in 1998 as an informal network called the Public Education/Higher Education Coordinating Group. That group was formed by the Commissioners of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), along with the executive director of the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC). Representatives from the legislature, the Governor's office, university systems and other state agencies, as well as education associations and business coalitions were invited to the meetings. It was important for the stakeholders and strategic partners to have a structure, however informal, to present ideas and discuss issues of mutual concern and interest such as the Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate (AP/IB) Incentive Program, college readiness projects, role of community colleges, teacher recruitment and retention, dual/concurrent enrollment, minority enrollment and assessment.
In 2003, the Texas Legislature formalized the system by passing Senate Bill 286 which created the P-16 Council as defined in Sections 61.076 and 61.077 of the Education Code. In 2005, the Legislature modified and strengthened the P-16 statute by passing House Bill 2808, which amends Section 61.076 and repeals Section 61.077 of the Education Code. Section 61.076 outlines Council membership.
Back to Top
In 2005, the 79th Regular Texas Legislature established the statutory members of the P-16 Council in House Bill 2808. Council members represent 5 Texas state agencies: the Texas Education Agency (TEA), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), Texas Department of Health Services (TDHS), and the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). The State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) remains a statutory member; however, subsequent legislation moved SBEC's responsibilities under the purview of TEA. In 2007, the Council co-chairs used their statutory authority to appoint three additional members to represent education professionals, agencies, business or other members of the community. In 2011, HB 2909 of the 82nd Texas Legislature allowed the Council co-chairs to appoint additional members who are education professionals, agency representatives, business representatives, or other members of the community.

Janus Overseas is an international fund that can sometimes march to the beat of its own drum.
As of July 03, 2014, the fund has assets totaling $4.33 billion. Its portfolio consists of stocks in companies from around the world.
Despite the fund's international mandate, it can veer heavily into select U.S. names if manager Brent Lynn sees deals too good to pass up, and investments in downtrodden U.S. companies that snapped back to life during the rally helped recent returns. In the process, management significantly increased the fund's stake in domestic stocks that depend heavily on revenues from foreign countries. While Asian holdings make up the bulk of the portfolio as of mid-2010, North American firms still top a quarter of total holdings. The fund's more limited exposure to Europe helped it avoid equity market woes there, and, by sector, it has benefited from consumer discretionary and information technology holdings as management created an increasingly concentrated portfolio. Since the start of the downturn, emerging markets have been a mixed blessing for the fund, though it continues to outperform it's category through the third quarter of 2010. The fund has returned 20.97 percent over the past year and -2.05 percent over the past three years.
During the past few years, the fund's tendency to favor emerging markets and to depart from its benchmark, which until 2008 was the MSCI Europe, Australia, Far East Index and is currently the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index, has often caused it to move out of step with its peers. Going back further, the fund was crushed by the downturn at the turn of the century and spent some time on life support, but it has been improving ever since. Reflecting this upward trend, the fund's assets grew to around $11 billion by the time it closed its doors to new investors in December 2007. When it reopened a year later, assets under management stood at just $3.5 billion thanks to hefty losses and redemptions, though they've returned to previous levels. The fund has returned 5.30 percent over the past five years and 9.69 percent over the past decade.
Investment Strategy
The fund looks to grow capital. According to its prospectus, "The portfolio manager applies a 'bottom up' approach in choosing investments. In other words, the portfolio manager looks at companies one at a time to determine if a company is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Fund's investment policies. If the portfolio manager is unable to find such investments, the Fund's uninvested assets may be held in cash or similar investments, subject to the Fund's specific investment policies." Says Morningstar, "Manager Brent Lynn scours the world for the fastest-growing companies. He emphasizes experienced management and high returns on capital. The fund often ends up focusing on specific regions, sectors, or both."
Role in Portfolio
Morningstar calls it a "supporting player."
Brent Lynn took on a comanager position in 2000; he has been the sole manager since 2003.
Janus Overseas Fund has an expense ratio of 1.18 percent.
Like any stock fund, particularly one invested in emerging markets, this one comes with some risks.

It's not often that we get to compare Los Angeles to the Roman Empire, unless we're making fun of the kitschy copy-cat architecture of the Getty Villa. At least in popular stereotype, L.A. and Rome are polar opposites, each one the perfect foil for the other.
One city — ours — is unfinished, amnesiac and forward-looking; the other city — theirs — is so obsessed with past glory, its streets piled so high with landmarks and layers of history, that its 21st century personality can be tough to make out.

Britney Spears and fiancé Jason Trawick have broken up and called off their engagement, Us Weekly reports. The couple had been together for three years and became engaged in December 2011.
Trawick had been Spears' manager from 2008 until early 2012, when he stepped down from the position to focus on their relationship. In April 2012, Trawick petitioned a court to become Spears' co-conservator, sharing legal control over the singer's personal matters with her father, Jamie Spears. Fox News reports that Trawick has now resigned from the conservatorship.
Britney Spears: A Life in Photos
"I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends," Spears said in a statement.
The 31-year-old singer disclosed the end of her engagement just hours after announcing that she would be leaving The X Factor after just one season as a judge. "Watching them all do their thing up on that stage every week made me miss performing so much!" Spears said of the young contestants she had mentored. "I can't wait to get back out there and do what I love most."

Reblogged from shelikesitlit
Artist: Joseph Wierenga
you know what—i love this and think it's beautiful…
but goddamn. does any artist in the *WORLD* think that women who have an unrequited love are worth exploring? any one? bueller? the *BIGGEST* reason I listened to alanis morrisette all those years ago, on repeat, until the tape wore out (jesus, I went through, like, three cassette tapes of that jaged little pill album), was almost solely for that line—it's meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his *beautiful* wife…
and I think the whole reason brigette jone's diary and sixteen candles are so popular is because OMG HEY!!!! GURLS FALL IN LOVE WITH MEN WHO AREN'T INTERESTED TOO!!! AND THAT DOESN"T MAKE A GURL SAD PATHETIC LOSER—THAT MAKES HER A HUMAN BEING LIKE FUCKING SHAKESPEARE AND BOB DYLAN AND EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER JOHN CUSAK HAS EVER PLAYED!!!!!!
***holds boom box over my head***
I loved a guy once. And he didn't want me. And I never told him I wanted him. Because I knew he'd never want me. And if I had changed how I looked he still wouldn't have wanted me. And if I had given him head he still wouldn't have wanted me. And if I had taken off my glasses and swung my hair around he still wouldn't have wanted me. Because guys are these odd sort of creatures that may not smoke cigerettes while they stare off into the distance on a rainy day in France while sitting in a coffee shop—but they DO focus entirely too much on sports and depend way to much on the approval of their man friends.
***turns up boom box louder***
i really loved that guy and wrote a lot of really bad horrible stories based on my love for him. I imagined a world that would allow him to see me—and kinda didn't really like that world because part of what was so charming about him was how excited he got about skateboarding and the way his eyes lit up when talking about it. Skateboarding was HIS love.
But I didn't see that then, and I especially couldn't see it when he was walking all over school with the blond hooked onto his arm. he and I were *friends*—but she had him. She went to his competitions—but she didn't know how his eyes lit up, the way I did.
***sets down boombox to better wipe tears***
it hurts to not be loved back. and to not be loved back happens to ALL of us, not just Ernest Hemmingway wannabe dudes who loved a girl in france once. And just like that girl from France gets up out of the coffee shop and walks away for ever, never once looking back at the dude whose heart is broken—the same thing happens to ALL the rest of us. We NEVER turn into cinderella, only to find out that our man loved us when we were ugly too and aren't we lucky. And only every once in a while does that skater boy grow the fuck up and love us back, just as we are or come to find us at our sister's wedding. and as amazingly right on as jordan catalano was as a first love for angela—the *truth* is the vast majority of us never would've even gotten Jordan. Most of us would've been Brian, fucking obnoxious assholes to the girl who expressed interest because she's gets in the way of looking at Angela.
That is the nature of love. The vast majority of the time it is heart break. And unrequited. That's what makes finding it so amazing and special.
and Jesus ABOVE life would just be so much easier if doods didn't hold this extra special place where being rejected by a girl in france made you awesome and girls didn't hold this extra shitty place where being rejected by skateboarder made her a loser and all the rest of us were never going to get a date any damn way because no amount of cinderella fairy princess could ever get us to see without our glasses on.
**turns off boom box**
I loved a guy once. And it was a perfect love and he was beautiful and I never told him I loved him and my heart hurt so hard for so long, i don't think I breathed my entire senior year.
And then I started dating people, and I realized I loved gurls too, and then I found a life partner and I figured out for the first time that love is hard and then we fought endlessly for months over money and I realized again that love is hard and then we realized we were too poor to get a divorce so we had to keep trying and I realized that not only is love hard, it's fucking HARD ASS WORK and falling in love is only the beginning—and I don't think back about that skater boy whose eyes I knew very often, but when i do, I think of him fondly because it wasn't really love, it was falling in love—and there would've been a day with him too when his shiny eyes wouldn't have been enough to pay the bills and I would've fallen asleep dreaming about how I could gouge his eyes out with my bare fingernails…but for a short period in my life, i, working class gurl, knew what it felt like to love without labor. and it hurt and i couldn't breath and jealousy was my constant companion.
but to love without labor is a beautiful thing. and it helps you to understand what you're fighting for when you find yourself stuck loving in the war years. just like art does. which is why it'd be amazing if people who are NOT white doods in love with a girl in a tea shop had some time on the drawing board as well.

DES MOINES – Trailing midway through the second half, the Ashford University women's basketball team rallied for a 61-54 win over the Eagles of AIB College of Business.
Junior Madison Wagner poured in a season-high 17 points for the Saints, while sophomore Elizabeth Nardi had 11 points and 11 rebounds for her first career double-double, as the Saints recorded their second consecutive win to improve to 3-5 on the year.
Johnikka Nash led all scorers with 21 points, but the Eagles fell to 3-4 with the loss.
The Eagles started the game on a 7-1 run, but the Saints battled back to take their first lead at the 7-minute, 25-second mark of the first half after Wagner made it 18-16 with a pair of free throws. AIB reclaimed the lead and led 28-26 at the break.
Ashford continued to trail through the first 10 minutes of the second half, but the Saints snatched the lead for good with 9:49 left when Wagner connected on a three-point play. AIB cut the lead to 56-54 with two minutes to go, but the Saints collected the game's final five points at the free-throw line to close out the game.
Junior Quinn Rear added 13 points for Ashford, as the team knocked down 33.3 percent (22-for-66) of its shots while holding the Eagles to 32.1 percent (18-for-56) from the floor.
Ashford was dominant on the glass, pulling down 54 rebounds to 37 for the hosts. Both teams took exceptional care of the basketball, with AU holding a 10-9 advantage in the turnover battle.
The Saints look to keep their winning streak intact Saturday, when they head to Joliet, Ill., for a meeting with the University of St. Francis at 5 p.m.

On Thursday, a group of Democratic lawmakers proposed a law to establish a Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court.
It's surely to have Supreme Court Justices Thomas and Scalia quaking in their Tea Party boots because it would mean they would actually have to be independent of political and other influences. They would also have to have the appearance of independence. They would have to stay away from political activity. That part would be really hard.
On June 23rd the State Senate passed AJR 1, making California the second state in the union to officially call for an Article V constitutional convention for the sole purpose of passing a United States constitutional amendment that would effectively overturn Citizens United v. FEC and limit the corrupting influence of money in our electoral process.
A new organization called ExposeFacts—backed by well-known source of The Pentagon Papers Daniel Ellsberg—is debuting itself in Washington, DC on Wednesday as a new place where government and corporate employees aware of wrongdoing can more safely and securely report their concerns.
The telecommunications industry is creating and funding front groups which pose as consumer organizations and aggressively lobby to kill net neutrality, journalist Lee Fang revealed in an article published in Vice on Friday.
It's a sad state of affairs when a country that touts freedom of the press depends upon cable TV comedy shows to hear the real news.
Why the Supreme Court's McCutcheon ruling is good news for the super-rich and bad news for progressive Democrats.
At the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference, a conservative election lawyer and a baby-faced electrical engineer from Alabama with a made-for-TV Southern drawl began plotting how to unravel federal campaign finance regulations.
This is an idea worth spreading - so - please watch & share with 5 or 10 friends. It's important to get money out of politics and the average person back in. Also - leave a message on the YouTube and let TED know - this is one of the most important issues of the day."
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is, as they boast on its website, the world's largest business organization, as well as the nation's largest corporate lobbying group. It is also a recipient of some of the largest amounts of so-called "dark" money in the country, refusing to disclose to the public its donors or even the amounts it receives.
Citizens United is not just the default reference for US Supreme Court decisions—including the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling—that have ushered in a new era of corporate dominance of American elections. It's the name of the conservative group that encouraged Chief Justice John Roberts and the most activist Court majority in American history to tear the heart out of what were already weak campaign finance laws.
PITTSFIELD -- Their signs read "Get Big Money Out of Politics," "Democracy Is Not For Sale" and "This Is What Plutocracy Looks Like." About a dozen of them stood in Park Square on Wednesday evening, one of 130 "rapid response events" coordinated nationwide to protest that morning's Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. FEC.

Apple financial results and conference call today 2pm PDT, 5pm EDT
Apple is set to release their Q2 2013 financial results, and conduct their usual conference call, today at 2pm PDT, 5pm EDT. Most times the only news we get out of it is how many more billions Apple made, and what kind of shots Tim Cook took at competitors and analysts asking about TVs for the umpteenth time. Today's narrative will, of course, be focused -- or unfocused -- around Apple is doomed.
Apple wil still earn billions, way more than competitors who enjoy huge market and media support while seldom if even earning a nickel of profit. And there's a good chance they'll be killed for it.
Either way, we'll be back later to sort through all of it, and try to attach some sanity to the narrative. If you want to follow along, you can listen live or catch the recording later via the link below. Meanwhile, leave your predictions in the comments.
Source: Apple Investor Relations
There are 12 comments. Add yours.
Isn't it about time for an upswing in market confidence? If the purpose of the narrative is, at least in part, to bring down share prices and reap the benefits of buying low, how much longer can the downward trend go on in light of record quarter after record quarter?
If you grant the assumption there is some sort of mustache-twirling conspiracy intentionally driving the stock price down, then no. Any evil genius worth his (or her) salt would keep driving the price down until the exact moment the public believes Apple is an irresistable buy, at which point the cabal would snap up every last share available. Anything less would leave money on the table, which is never advised when evil lairs are so expensive these days [ http://www.villainsource.com/lairs.html ]
Perhaps it's time for a change and Apple realises that and this will reveal something towards their plans for the next upcoming iOS devices. But then again, Apple plays seriously with their secrecy so that's never gonna happen.
Still; fingers crossed!
Rene, wrong link!
This is the one where they take the company private.
Posted by somebody else in another comment thread, but here [ http://branch.com/b/taking-apple-private ] some Apple watchers (including Rene) discuss why that is vanishingly unlikely.
That is near impossible to do based on just the massive amount of money needed & regulatory hurdles Apple would have to overcome. It'll be an interesting earnings report none the less.
APPLE WILL PREVAIL, the others will fail
I think they will be fine in the long term. Consumers and the competition are feature focused while Apple is focused on making products which provide the best experience. Apple products are the benchmark, the gold standard, that all other products are measured against. Feature focused people are afraid that apple is not keeping up but forget that apple is the leader. They also don't realize that 90% of the advertised features on other phones are not used (gimmicks). Also, Apple hardware and software are so well made that the phone still benchmarks at or above these quadcore/high RAM devices. I trust that the company will continue to grow and produce amazing products.
Hoping that Tim Cook will, just for once, say "Hey Munster. Yeah you, Mr. Apple-Television-This-Year monkey. Read my lips: No. Apple. Television. Set. This. Year. Or. Next. Year. Or. The. Year. After. Next. Year."
That would be a fantastic sound bite!
Can we stop with the "apple is doomed" victom-hood? Nobody is ever arguing Apple is doomed. It's a strong company that's not going anywhere. People should stop getting bent out of shape and spouting the outrage at nonexistent "apple is doomed" claims.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Former West Virginia Schools Superintendent Jorea Marple's lawsuit over her firing will be heard in federal court.
Marple sued the state Board of Education in Kanawha County Circuit Court in February.
The Charleston Daily Mail (http://bit.ly/14kf4Ys ) reports that the case was moved to U.S. District Court on Friday.
The state board requested the transfer. In a filing last week, the board argued that Marple claims her rights were violated under the U.S. Constitution.
Marple's lawsuit alleges that she was denied due process when she was abruptly fired last November. The lawsuit also says the dismissal's handling wrongly damaged her reputation.

The Clemson women's track team's quest for its fourth consecutive ACC indoor title is off to a belated start, following junior Whitney Fountain's withdrawal from the pentathlon on Thursday.
Injured during warm-ups, Fountain - the favorite to win the event and claim Clemson's first points of the meet - sat out the competition, which was won by Maryland sophomore Thea LaFond with 4,111 points.
Holding a 231-point lead heading into the final event of Thursday's women's pentathlon, LaFond wrapped up the top spot by racing to a first-place finish in the 800-meter run at Virginia Tech's Rector Field House.
LaFond, who finished the 800 meters in a time of 2:20.63, had earlier led in the 60-meter hurdles (8.70) and the high jump (5-10.75). Her total of 4,111 points was the highest by an ACC competitor this season. LaFond was followed by Duke junior Miray Seward (3,784), while North Carolina freshman Tory Kemp took home the bronze medal with 3,730 points.
Duke, which also received a fifth-place finish from Bailey Murphy (3,547) led the team scoring with 12 points, followed by Maryland with 10, UNC with six and Virginia with five.
The men's heptathlon got under way on Thursday, and North Carolina sophomore Joe Hutchinson leads after the completion of four events. Hutchinson accumulated 2,838 points in the 60-meter dash, long jump, shot put and high jump to hold a narrow lead over Virginia Tech's Scott Campbell (2,819) and UNC teammate Ryan Ramsey (2,804) heading into Friday's competition, which will feature the 60-meter hurdles, pole vault and 1,000-meter run.
The 2013 ACC Indoor Track and Field Championships will resume on Friday at 11 a.m. and will continue through the early evening. Highlights will include the conclusion of the men's heptathlon, finals in seven field events, as well as the finals in both the men's and women's 5,000-meter runs, and the men's and women's distance medley relays. The competition concludes on Saturday.
Clemson athletes have the ACC's top regular-season marks in numerous events. Topping the men's list are Spencer Adams in the 60-meter hurdles, Torian Ware in the high jump and the 4 x 400-meter relay team.
Clemson's Tevin Hester ranks second in the 200, while Brunson Miller is second in the 400.
On the women's side, Clemson owns the top four performances in both the 200 meters and the 60-meter hurdles, led by Dezerea Bryant and Brianna Rollins. Marlena Wesh, a 2012 Olympian, has the ACC's best mark in the 400 meters, while Bryant and Stormy Kendrick rank 1-2 in the 60 meters.
Brittney Waller leads the conference in the weight throw, and Clemson leads the 4 x 400 relay. Freshman Mimi Land is second in the high jump and sixth in the long jump, while Christy Gasparino and Lauren Terstappen rank third and fourth in the pole vault.
Live coverage is available on theACC.com on Friday from 4:20 p.m. until approximately 8:30 p.m., and on Saturday from noon until 4:00 p.m.

NORMAN — Veterans Day activities ended Sunday evening after a memorial service at the Cleveland County Veterans Memorial in Reaves Park.
Veterans of every war were honored at the service as well as troops from the 45th Infantry Brigade, Task Force Thunderbird, who had returned from deployment in Afghanistan last year. Fallen soldiers from the brigade and their families also were recognized.
Mayor Cindy Rosenthal presented a plaque to Col. Joel P. Ward and Sgt. Maj. Robert Maxwell, commanding officers over the 45th Infantry Brigade, as a token of appreciation for the brigade's service keeping the city of Norman, as well as the nation, safe.
Solders in the brigade who were deployed to Kuwait and Afghanistan numbered 2,800. Eleven of those were killed in action, three died later from wounds, 289 battle injuries were suffered and 180 purple hearts were awarded.
Brig. Gen. James Richardson spoke during the memorial service about the improvements the brigade made while they were overseas. Working with the Afghanistan National Army and the Afghan National Police, the brigade helped Afghanistan's security forces take the lead to defend their nation he said.
"Shops have reopened, the roads are clear of IEDs, children are back in school, the price of land has doubled in Laghman Province and the district government is operating without fear of reprisal," Richardson said.
He said the thing that makes the memorial at Reaves Park special is not how beautifully it's crafted but rather the fact that the walls keep a vigil. All of the men and women who have entered the military since 1973 did so by their own volition and they all share the same two principles, he said.
"An abiding love of their country and the full awareness that they might be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice," Richardson said. "This memorial behind me enshrines the memory of those who nobly served, and we are here to recognize the sacrifices that they have made in fulfilling their duty."
Rosenthal said three years ago, they honored Vietnam veterans with a memorial service, but Sunday marked the second annual Veterans Day parade with a memorial service to follow.
