Kashmir Hill, Forbes Staff
Welcome to The Not-So Private Parts where technology & privacy collide
Attacking the TSA for its privacy-invasive screening procedures has become a favorite activity for many journalists, especially Matt Drudge. TSA horror stories are often featured prominently on The Drudge Report and he has taken to calling Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (of which the TSA is a part) "Big Sis."
Napolitano, who doesn't think Drudge "means [the nickname] kindly" said at a recent Politico event that Drudge is wrong in describing DHS programs as Orwellian and that "the privacy impact of new airport screening technology and similar programs are thoroughly vetted before they are implemented," in Josh Gerstein's words.
"We want to be conscious of civil liberties and civil rights protections—and we are," Napolitano said, as reported by Politico.
On the same day as this piece came out, TechDirt reports on a passenger who would likely disagree with the Secretary. After a particularly aggressive patdown in March that might be better termed a feel-up, advice blogger Amy Alkon graphically described how she sobbed loudly while a TSA agent put her hands "into" her — four times. She screamed "You raped me" after the LAX patdown and took the agent's name with plans to file charges of sexual assault. Those plans fell through after consulting an attorney, but she did blog about it and included the agent's name, thereby inflicting her own assault — on the agent's Google search results.
The TSA agent then hired a lawyer who contacted Alkon asking her to remove the post, threatening her with a defamation lawsuit, and asking for a settlement of $500,000. "Rape is a very serious charge," writes lawyer Vicki Roberts on Thedala Magee's behalf. She also says that Alkon, on a return trip to the airport in May called her client "a bad person" who had "sexually molested" her.
Free speech lawyer Marc Randazza has stepped in to assert Alkon's right to post about her patdown experience, and to defend both her definition of the patdown as rape and, regardless of that, her right to rhetorical hyperbole. Techdirt has a copy of the letter Randazza drafted in response to the defamation threat.
"After [the agent Thedala] Magee's assault on Ms. Alkon's vagina and dignity, Ms. Alkon exercised her First Amendment right to recount this incident to others in person and through her blog," writes Randazza. "This was not only her right — it was her responsibility."
Forced to perform patdowns now required by law, TSA agents are the ones who have to face the public's anger. Texas abandoned its effort this year to pass a law making overly aggressive patdowns a misdemeanor subjecting agents to arrest and a fine, but bloggers can certainly keep on trying the agents in the court of public opinion. I have some sympathy for the agent whose name will now be linked with rape in Google results for eternity — though it should surely serve the purpose of making her a bit less touchy-feely during patdowns — but I hope Randazza and Alkon persevere. TSA screening procedures have already taken a toll on the Fourth Amendment; let's not add the First Amendment to the list of victims.
V, great thought, everyone one knows that the .0001 percent you talk about would never hide bad things in a sexual area. Most wear signs that say dont look in my backback I have explosives.. Get real. I may not have been a soilder, but as a retired cop, I fought for your right to sleep safely in your home at night for 25 years. Of that spent three years in and out of hospitals from injuries from fighting bad guys and you say I dont care about Freedom because I disagree with you???? Is that really a way to resolve this. I bet the people in the planes that went down didnt really care what percentile the bad guys were in.
Great question, I have seen all the fussing…now to those who are doing the fussing…Please share your ideas on how to do it a better way?
Kashmir..what do you suggest? anyone can complain…..
You are blatantly on a business trip wearing skinny jeans? Silly TSA agents for not knowing that. Guess that TSA agent failed mind reading 101…guys please think
We all get paid by views. Without views, no Forbes. I myself would like to find a way to write about the TSA, I am waiting for a celebrity TSA to break! ;)
Mike, a tsa pat down is for all intents and purposes are the same. The feds are all trained at the same place. The one I got was not invasive, it was an exterior pat down and running the fingers through my waistband where weapons are commonly hidden. Talk about rape, have you seen health care prices…Mike, simple you are above the common folk and its silly to think you would do anyone any harm because you are a dr. If you dont wanna fly the kgb express, I know its beneath you but, drive to the golf game opps, I meant vacation. Pat downs have time and time been approved by courts, and as a retired police officer, I know how to do a pat down. The one I got was no diffrent than the ones given on the street. I am pretty sure the dr that gave my physical to play basketball in high school enjoyed it way too much but I dont condem you or other drs. The strip search I got by the dr was way harsher than what I got at the airport. But I choose to play basketball and knew the physical was part of it just like if you CHOOSE to fly, you know that a pat down is possible. Just like it was for me, its a choice either to take the physical and play ball or watch from the sidelines, just as it is the same with flying, if you dont want to do it, drive or take a boat
Did you read what was alleged!!!!!! Not proven…innocent till proven guilty. Again when a lawyer reviews a case that will grab national attention and recomends not to fo forward…that is what us old folks call a clue
Just curious, how much explosives would it take to put a hole in the aluminum walls?
A blonde who writes about the Royals? Please.
Do you like getting fingered (pointed out) at the gate, L?

Could your yard use a little help?
There's still time to enter the Crystal Lake Park District's Ugliest Yard contest. The deadline is Feb. 28, according to park district spokesperson Jenny Leech.
The first-place winner will win a landscape design created by the park district's landscape architect Ann Viger and a $500 gift certificate from Two Amigos Landscaping, Inc.
Several other people will win an oak tree seedling.
The attached photograph shows a 125-year-old burr oak tree that once stood at 300 Lake Shore Dr., Crystal Lake.
The tree was destroyed in a July 2011 storm, but acorns were gathered and cultivated by McHenry County Nursery/Glacier Oaks Nursery, Leech said in a press release.
This effort resulted in 170 burr oak seedlings that will be awarded to entrants of the Ugliest Yard contest. Some of the young trees will be planted in Crystal Lake Park District Parks, Leech said.

My Email Digests
Anyways apparently she filed for a seperation from him, and had mentioned that she had some of the same issues with him that she had with me. So he wants to discuss some things with me to see if he can get some insight into her feelings. He also wants to know about her childhood. Her and I grew up together and went to school together. Her brothers were my best friends. And I had a crush on her from the first time I saw her. She was a couple years older than I, so for a long time she never had any interest in me. But after we were both out of school for a while we started working together, and she rode to work with me. Well after spending time together we wound up starting to date..
Anyways I found it interesting that he would contact me for insight. I plan on emailing him back and telling offering any advice or information that I can. I will warn him not to tell her that he is corresponding with me, I think she might feel ganged up on.
Actually I think he might be able to offer me some insight as I felt I was the one that had the issues in our relationship. So it will be interesting to here her side of the story from him.
This reminded me of the time I had pretty much made the decision to leave the father of my kids, I called his ex-wife and asked her why she chose to leave him. Her answers confirmed what I thought were issues between us as my reality. One which I didn't want to move forward with. After she revealed her answers with me, I thanked her and told her I had decided to leave him. In our case it was a simple conversation, and after that we had a better understanding of each other and became friends. We've never been close, but our kids are half-sibling to each other and its been nice over the years being a part of the extended family without the animosity that can occur.
I would think he should know her quite a bit better at this point. What could you possibly tell him about what you knew of her 20 years ago that would be relevant>?
Why get involved? She is your Ex from a LONG time ago.
And as for information on her childhood, I think if it's personal, that's not your place to tell. Plus... it seems weird to me that he doesn't know about her childhood? Unless it's something that he wants to know that would be very personal, such as a traumatic situation. And that's where I wouldn't get involved. How would you feel if someone else was divulging private information about you to someone else?
I did grow up with her and her brothers. I went through a lot with her when one of her brothers was killed in an auto accident right after high school. So I might be able to offer something. I don't see where it could hurt.
I did tell my wife about it and she sees no harm in it. It would be just a couple emails I am sure. And then I will probably never here from either of them again.
She sounds kinda like a flake. Everything happens for a reason. I think you dodged a bullet with her even if she is/was a hot tamale!!
It would be nice for you to get some kind of insight as to what was going through her mind so many years ago. I think your best chance at that is to keep your mouth closed as much as possible....let him talk and talk for awhile before you offer your thoughts.
I wonder what he wants to know about her childhood. It might just be about her brother dying, maybe she never really dealt with it.
Well, good luck. I hope you get what your looking for out of this!
He seems like a very sincere and decent man. He clearly loves her very much. But he is confused by her lack interest in sex. She clearly has told him that it is his problem and he needs to deal with it himself. And this is were she referred back to our marriage, stating that I had told her similar things and she told me to take care of myself.
She surprised him with papers for a permanant legal seperation. She will not file for divorce. And states that if he wants one he will have to file for it. He doesn't want to file for divorce he wants to reconcile, but she refuses and states that there is no chance of ever working anything else.
It actually cleared up some issues for me. I had thought for many years that I was to quick to react to our sexual problems. And that there was just some underlying stress that had gotten in the way and caused our sexual problems. Once she decided we needed some time apart. She quickly went to an attorney which made me mad. I decided if she was going to do that, I would let if follow through. And I did. I wanted to make a point that I wasn't like her mom and step-dad that would file for a divorce, but then get back together. Almost monthly.
He asked if I knew if she had ever been a victim of any sexual abuse. It is my belief that she was not. She never mentioned being mistreated in any way to me through the many years that we knew each other. I grew up across the street and was best friends with her brothers and never saw any abusive behavior from her family. And she was a virgin at the time of our first sexual encounter.
I felt that she did have some self esteem issues resulting from the guy she dated and was engaged to prior to our relationship. They were together for over 5 years, but he would not have sex with her. He wanted to marry a virgin, and wouldn't marry her until she graduated from college. And she had decided to not finish college. So they were in limbo and he was not flexible at all about it. She told me that she really was ready to have sex, but he just refused. The only thing he would do, was let her use her hand to pleasure him. And he would not return the favor. She told me this led her to believe that she was not desireable and she seemed embrassed about her body. Although she had nothing to be ashamed off.
She also had a lot of intimacy issues, and would get embrassed thinking about the fact that I had seen her naked and had done certain things with her. She feared us breaking up and having to go through life knowing I had seen and touched her intimate areas.
She also preferred spending time with her family over anything else. It didn't seem super weird at the time to me, as we were young and both had just permanately moved out and into our own home. So going back to visit regularly seemed normal to me. But the visits never decreased. And actually increased a lot the longer we were together. And it seems that was a problem with them also. Even living across country and having her own family, she still wanted to visit frequently.
My only concern about corresponding with him is that she has read his personal email and discovered that he is talking with me. I don't know if she actually read my response, but I did send him a long email this morning explaining our relationship. So if she did read it she may be angry with me. I don't care if she is, as I only stated the truth. But I don't want any contact from her.
And I have told my wife about everything that has taken place, including her finding out about the correspondences.

The Orange Leader
A man with a reputation for helping others and his community will be the center of attention at a special event Thursday night.
The Bridge City Chamber of Commerce will honor resident Ross Smith with a roast at 6 p.m., Thursday, inside the Bridge City Community Center, 105 Parkside. Tickets are $50 per person.
The master of ceremonies for the evening will be Monte Morphew. Some of the individuals scheduled to "roast" or pay tribute to Smith include Dr. Mike Shahan of Lamar State College-Orange, Stephen Lee of First Financial Bank, Gary Stelly of KOGT radio, Larry Webb, John Gothia and Trey Smith.
Mayor Kirk Roccaforte of Bridge City and chairperson of the nomination board for the roast said Smith was a great selection to be honored.
"Ross does a lot of good things for the community and for so many people by helping those organizations," Roccaforte said. "I think he is a great guy and worthy of being the person we decided to 'roast' this year."
Smith is excited about the opportunity and looks forward to Thursday's evening of entertainment.
"I really didn't know if I wanted to do this at first or not," Smith said with a laugh. "I figured this might could turn into a barbecue instead of a roast real quick. Quite honestly, I'm proud that I'm considered to be a character enough to do a charity event like this for our chamber."
Smith is very involved with numerous organizations throughout Orange County. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for organizations such as the Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts, the Salvation Army of Orange County, First Finanical Bank, formerly known as Orange Savings Bank and others. He has been a member of other boards in previous years, including the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, the Boy Scouts of America (Three Rivers Council) and the Boys and Girls Club.
Smith, 65, has been married to his wife, Eva, for approximately 30 years. They have three children and six grandchildren.
He is the chairman and president of Akrotex, Inc., as well as Chairman of the Board of David Self Ford, Inc. and the Nexus Resin Group Inc.
Smith has received numerous honors and awards during his life-time, including the 2010 Citizen of the Year" and the 2004 "Small Business Person of the Year" by the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as the 2000 "Community Builder Award" from Madison Lodge 126 AF and AM and the Masonic Grand Lodge of Texas.
"I just want Thursday night to be a lot of fun. I want everyone to come out and enjoy the food and have a few laughs at my expense," he added with a smile. "I love Orange County. That's why I do the things I do to help the community."
Call the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce at 409-735-5671 for more information or tickets.

Trustee Jack Brick will conclude his time on the Board of Trustees this year.
Up for reelection on Nov. 6, Brick has told his fellow trustees he will not run.
"This will serve to advise you and my colleagues on the Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) Board of Trustees that I will not seek re-election to the board," Brick wrote in an email sent to fellow trustees Thursday.
Brick has served as a trustee since 2008. Last year, he was president, although he ran only one meeting, handing then-vice president Gary Pritchard the gavel.
He was first elected as part of a so-called reform slate. In the past two years, however, he has been consistently voting with more recently elected members of the board.
"It has been a privilege and honor to have served the district these past years," Brick wrote.
Brick lives in Dana Point and represents Trustee Area 1, which includes Dana Point, Capo Beach and parts of San Juan Capistrano.
So far, no one has expressed interest in running for his seat, according to the Orange County Registrar of Voters website. Because an incumbent is choosing not to run, the county will keep the period open in which people may declare their candidacy through to Aug. 15.
There are three other seats up for grabs. In Area No. 2, which represents parts of San Juan Capistrano, Ladera Ranch and Coto de Caza, . They are Don Franklin Richardson and Jim Reardon, both of San Juan Capistrano, and Michele Taylor-Bible of Ladera Ranch.
In Trustee Area No. 5, which encompasses Aliso Viejo, . And so far, only Trustee John Alpay has expressed interest in his seat, which represents Area No. 3, which includes most of San Clemente.

Richland County still tops the state in traffic deaths so far this year, with two more deaths in separate accidents in Lower Richland this weekend.
Since Jan. 1, 21 people have died in Richland County, compared with 16 in Greenville, the next-highest county, according to the S.C. Department of Public Safety.
Richlands skyrocketing death toll of 21 so far this year also exceeds year-to-date totals for three previous years.
In 2012, 18 people had died so far in Richland by this time; in 2011, 16; and in 2010, 10.
In Lexington County, nine people have died on its roads since Jan. 1.
Other area counties tolls include Kershaw, 5; Newberry, 1; Orangeburg, 9; and Sumter, 5.
Overall, road fatalities are sharply down across South Carolina.
Statewide, 198 people have died on state roads since Jan. 1, compared with 258 at the same time last year. The 198 figure includes 28 pedestrians, 24 motorcyclists and three bicyclists.
Nonuse of seat belts is a key factor in fatal incidents. Of 142 motorists deaths in which seat belts could have been used, 90 werent wearing them.
Only about 10 percent of South Carolinians dont buckle up these days, thanks to a mandatory seat belt law.

As most people know, Rihanna was brutally beaten in 2009 by her then-boyfriend, Chris Brown. It's been a few years since the two of them split and the Barbadian star has flourished into a beautiful, independent woman; but now she is being pressured to forgive her former boyfriend for beating her.
Sources reveal that family members want Rihanna to forgive Chris Brown for the gruesome and violent attack he delivered in 2009. Apparently some people don't take domestic violence seriously, even though it could've ended far worse than a battered face for the singer. The National Enquirer spoke to a cousin of the Barbadian singer by the name of Nicola Alleyne. Nicola says that she likes Chris Brown and she feels that he and Rihanna should get back together.
"Chris made a mistake, but I forgive him. I think he got hit too. Knowing Rihanna like I do, it was a fight. But I would love them to be back together. I really think Chris still loves her," said Nicola.
Well if that isn't just the most idiotic thing a person could say. It seems that someone has celeb-envy and thinks that Chris Brown is a "nice guy," even though he battered this woman's own flesh and blood to the point of not even looking like herself. Maybe Nicola Alleyne should mind her own business and find her own woman-beating pig to follow around with battered wife syndrome. Rihanna is doing great on her own and she would be best to stay away from this man.
It's saddening that the relative of the singing superstar thinks she has the right to "forgive" Chris Brown for what he did to her cousin. It's not her place to forgive him and it certainly isn't her place to give relationship advice if she thinks a woman putting up a fight is grounds to be beaten like a street thug. Let Nicola Alleyne slum around in whatever ghetto life she wants as a beaten and disrespected hood-rat. That is not Rihanna's style and it very well shouldn't be. She proved that when she kicked Chris to the curb and moved on with her life. She's evolved and hopefully a more discerning taste in men comes with her ever-evolving character.

An Acworth man has been arrested for allegedly robbing a Woodstock bank.
Chase Lovell Gates, 27, of Acworth has been charged with allegedly robbing Cherokee Bank in Woodstock.
Cherokee Sheriff's Office Spokesman Lt. Jay Baker said Gates is being held at the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center with a $16,700 bond.
The department received the call from Cherokee County dispatchers around 11:45 a.m. Tuesday at the bank, located at 159 Woodstock Square Avenue.
Employees at the bank told investigators that Gates entered the bank and allegedly demanded money, according to a press release from the Woodstock Police Department.
A teller at the bank gave the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect then allegedly fled the bank on foot and was seen running towards the parking lot of Kohl's at 140 Woodstock Square Avenue. The suspect allegedly dropped the cash and got into a small Ford sedan.
Witnesses were able to provide officers with a partial tag number and a picture of the vehicle.
Woodstock Police then issued a Be-On-The-Look-Out alert to surrounding agencies and deputies with the Cherokee Sheriff's Office later apprehended the suspect off Kellogg Creek Road in southwest Cherokee County.
It's the second time in as many months that branch of Cherokee Bank has been the target of crime.
In December, two men were arrested for attempting to rob the same branch.

What Types of Insurance Do I Need?
When you find a new job and sit down to look at the benefits you may be surprised at the options that are available to you. It may seem overwhelming to consider all of the insurance that you can purchase. Do you really need all of the insurance or can you pass on some of the policies? Is it possible to be over insured?

There were no police on the court," Krstic said. "There were no security guards. I was scared. I saw the fans, half-naked, coming behind my back. I saw Greek players coming towards me. They were saying some bad things about my family. In that moment, you don't think what going to happen. You just try to protect yourself. I was scared. That's why I did that.Oklahoma City Thunder center Nenad Krstic on throwing a chair during Serbia's game against Greece in the FIBA World Championships this summer. It was among the funnier moments of the Thunder's media day today, especially because he apologized over and over again.

Action Team Stakeholder Process
The BOI team identified a process employed by the stakeholders who recently created The Blueprint for Action toward a High-Quality, High-Value Maternity Care System, as having the potential to inform policy change in Louisiana. The creation of the blueprint by Childbirth Connections had involved multi-stakeholder workgroups and centered on 11 critical focus areas for change. The Louisiana Birth Outcomes Initiative narrowed the priorities from 11 to 5 and included those that coincided with priorities identified by a recent needs assessment completed by the Office of Public Health Maternal and Child Health Program.
Identified through the Louisiana needs assessment and national best practices review, the five priorities are:
Based on these five priorities, the BOI is leading statewide "Action Teams," which include 80 quality and measurement experts, hospitals and health systems leaders, health plans, clinicians, consumers and community partners committed to improving the health of women and infants in Louisiana. Team members represent medical professional organizations, hospitals, providers, consumers and community partners (list of members attached).The teams complement the Governor's Perinatal Commission, a group appointed to make statewide recommendations on perinatal outcomes. The BOI kickoff was on November 17, 2010 in concert with prematurity awareness day and the release of the Louisiana March of Dimes Report Card in which Louisiana received an F. Louisiana's First Lady Supriya Jindal showed her support by lighting the Governor's Mansion purple, the color of prematurity awareness.

RALEIGH — Police charged a 36-year-old man from Zebulon with habitual impaired driving early Saturday, a felony charge that indicates he had been convicted of driving while impaired at least three times since 2002.
Jermaine Wiggins of 440 Creech Johnson Road was arrested on Capital Boulevard shortly before 1:30 a.m., according to an arrest report. In addition to the felony, he was charged with driving while impaired Saturday, a misdemeanor.
The arrest report does not list the times that police determined he had been convicted of DWI. State Department of Correction online records list Jermaine Wiggins as having convictions for driving while impaired on Nov. 23, 2002, and May 9, 2003.
A person can be charged with habitual impaired driving "if he drives while impaired ... and has been convicted of three or more offenses involving impaired driving ... within 10 years of the date of this offense," state statutes say.
Someone convicted of habitual impaired driving has his driver's license revoked permanently, must be sentenced to at least 12 months in prison and may have his vehicle seized.
Wiggins posted bail and was released from the Wake County Detention Center.

U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro says he's changed his position on a boycott of the Texas-based Buc-ee's gas and convenience stores after learning the company isn't supporting Dan Patrick's campaign.
In the past, Buc-ee's owners Don Wasek and Beaver Aplin have donated to various Republicans, and on the night of the primary election, the two called Dan Patrick directly pledging their support and money. But Buc-ee's general counsel Jeff Nalado says these campaign donations aren't reflective of Buc-ee's the company.
Hilda Valadez was known around the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center as Bexar County's highest-paid court-appointed attorney, reportedly receiving more than $400,000 dollars over three years before 2010. She defended indigent clients, often in high-profile murder cases. Now she's on the other side of the law, entering a plea agreement that she hopes will keep her out of prison.
A group of Tea Party Republicans from the Texas House have issued an open letter to State Rep. Dan Branch, who's facing a May 27 runoff election with Ken Paxton for the Republican nomination in the Attorney General's race. The letter asks Branch to drop out of the race. Rep. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) was one of the undersigned and says based on election returns, Branch doesn't have a chance.
With the area expected to remain under moderate-to-extreme drought conditions through the summer, Bexar County Commissioners have approved a new burn ban, effective immediately.
Bexar joins 74 other counties are under a burn ban as of today, according to the Texas Forest Service. Bexar County Fire Marshal Craig Roberts says he's seen an increase in the number of grass fires in the late afternoons, in all parts of the county.
The Bexar County Sheriff's Office is applying for a federal grant under a new law designed to prevent sexual assault in jails.
The grant could provide the county with as much as $250-thousand dollars to help the jail maintain new federal standards.
Congress passed the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) in May of 2012, and it includes provisions to prevent, detect, and respond to allegations of sexual abuse in any kind of detention facility.
Even while many San Antonio families are enjoying Spring Break this week, they're already thinking of summer, and what the kids will be doing while school's out. The Southwest School of Art's summer program registration is just around the corner, and they offer a ten week long summer studio experience.
Patricia Morales directs the Young Artists Program at the Southwest School of Art.
The deadline to enroll in the ACA, also called Obamacare, is March 31st. After that date you will have to pay a penalty. In expectation of the deadline, several high-profile events have been marking the past month. The largest navigator nonprofit in the country Enroll America is having its "Get Covered Bus Tour."
The Democratic candidate in the Texas Comptroller's race, Mike Collier, says poor forecasting is the reason the state had to cut school funding in 2011, adding that as the only Certified Public Accountant that is running in 2014, he's more qualified to be forecasting the state's overall revenues and how the Legislature sets a two-year budget, than his opponent, Republican Glen Hegar.
Carmen Tafolla's run as San Antonio's Poet Laureate is coming to an end soon, and she's being honored by the city in an unusual way. Seven San Antonio filmmakers were selected to create short films based on seven of Tafolla's poems.
"We feel that this is a great opportunity to combine poetry and film in a new manner," said the city's Special Projects Manager Sebastian Guajardo.
Just over a year ago, city leaders in Austin instituted a city-wide ban on single-use plastic bags. As San Antonio leaders decide on the consequences of a similar ban, shoppers in Austin say it's only a matter of getting used to.
They carry on as if nothing ever changed. "It just took a little time to get used to it, but it's definitely worth it," said Bethany Martin as she carried her groceries out of an Austin-area Whole Foods on Monday.

"Seussical" by Ahrens and Flaherty
April 10, 11, 12 at 7:30 p.m. and April 12 at 2 p.m.
Not many plays have a song about Palm Beach, but we found one sung by Maysie LaBird in the Flaherty and Ahrens family favorite, "Seussical." The team that gave us "Once On This Island" and "Ragtime," bring to life the delightful characters from the many books and endless imagination of the beloved Dr. Seuss. Here we have our second narrator of the season, in the person of The Cat In The Hat, who takes us on a journey with Horton The Elephant as he seeks to help the denizens of Whoville. So leave your cynicism at home and join us in the slightly askew, always uplifting, wide-eyed world of Dr. Seuss.

Quick, what's today? Presidents Day, the federal holiday that's probably known more for car dealership specials and being the driving force behind schools' winter break than for anything else, right?
But technically, in the eyes of the U.S. government, it's not.
The federal holiday introduced as Washington's Birthday in 1885 is still called Washington's Birthday.
To make matters more confusing, today isn't actually Washington's Birthday, and the holiday now never falls on his real birthday; he was born Feb. 22, 1732 (and even that's not quite true, since the calendar observed by the English colonies switched from the Julian to the Gregorian in 1752).
In 1971, the holiday recognizing his birth was shifted to the third Monday in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act (not making up that name). There was talk of a renaming at the same time as the shift, but that never happened.
And that's where the trouble began.
The aim of the act was to streamline holidays for federal government workers, and turn as many of them as possible into three-day weekends. But the only people bound to observe federal holidays are federal employees. Most states follow along with federal holiday designations, but when it came to Washington's Birthday, many didn't.
Some states went for the shift to third-Monday observance but adopted the idea of a holiday to celebrate all presidents. Because there's no set rule for what to call it, it's variably called Presidents Day and Presidents' Day, and sometimes, incorrectly, President's Day, which makes grammarians twitch.
Some states also kept recognizing Lincoln's birthday on Feb. 12, too, though that was never a federal holiday. And some have weird hybrids, like Washington-Lincoln day.
So really, unless you're a federal employee, whether you have off or not and what you call the day comes down to where you live. In New Jersey, it's Presidents Day.
But don't try to drive that point home with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
As the department's website pointedly says in a footnote to its calendar, "this holiday is designated as 'Washington's Birthday' in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law."
Bit snooty about it, no?
So instead of lauding the courage of Washington and Lincoln, the leadership of Truman and Eisenhower, the revolution of Reagan or the boom years of Clinton, Patch will take a moment to tread down the road less travelled. Here we present the five most obscure facts about the five most obscure American Presidents (and one "almost President") of all time.
- Millard Filmore, in office July 9, 1850 through March 4, 1853, was the last member of the Whig party to serve as President. Despite being a native of New York State, he opposed Abraham Lincoln's decision to engage in the Civil War.
- Benjamin Harrison, in office March 4, 1881 through March 4, 1887, defeated incumbent Democrat Grover Cleveland, and is best known for being the President who signed the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, which is the basis for all modern anti-trust legislation. He's also the grandson of fellow poorly-known President William Henry Harrison.
- Warren G. Harding's time in office - March 4, 1921 through Aug. 2, 1923 – didn't end well. He died in California while on his way back to Washington, D.C. from a trip to Alaska. Before becoming President, Harding was a newspaper publisher.
- Martin Van Buren, in office March 4, 1837 through March 4, 1841, was the first President who was not of British descent. His lineage was Dutch. He was also one of the original organizers of the modern Democratic party. Van Buren will forever be known to modern Americans as the President who inspired a fictional street gang, "The Van Buren Boys" on the TV comedy Seinfeld. The group's gang sign consisted of flashing the number eight with one's fingers, symbolizing Van Buren's position as the nation's eighth President.
- Finally, Thomas E. Dewey never became President, despite the historical newspaper headline gaffe which would have had Americans believe otherwise. The 47th governor of New York was known as a liberal Republican who mostly supported Democrat Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal social welfare programs. And yes, he did, indeed, lose his Presidential bid to President Harry S. Truman.

Music Education Blog Carnival (the real one) April 1, 2011
Sorry…I know it wrecks your ping backs and links, but I couldn't resist posting a "bogus" blog carnival on Friday April Fool's Day! If you missed it, all the links in the bogus post pointed to this video.

Music Pedagogy
Thomas J. West presents Using Focused Proprioception To Learn And Memorize Music – Thomas J. West Music posted at Thomas J. West Music, saying, "The goal of memorizing a piece is to move the motor skills required to perform the piece completely into sub-conscious recall without any external stimulus from the written page. Proprioception is how we learned to sit up, to walk, and to tie our shoes. Proprioception along with our ability to hear and mentally organize sound is how we learned to speak, sing, and play an instrument. Focusing your attention on how your hands "feel" as they perform the passages of the repertoire is what takes you away from the tyranny of the "little black dots" on the printed page."

TRAVERSE CITY — Nancy Schaefer of Glen Arbor hadn't heard her grandmother's name in years, until her cousin clued her to a whimsical discovery downstate.
Nearly 100 years ago, Schaefer's grandmother, Tillie Esper, and another woman wrote a message on a receipt, stuffed it in a bottle and tossed it into the St. Clair River from Harsens Island. The cursive note dated June 30, 1915 reads, "Having a good time at Tashmoo."
Tashmoo Park was an entertainment stop for passengers who rode the steamship from Detroit to Port Huron. It housed gambling, a roller rink and a dance hall before it closed in the 1950s.
A bit of glass protruding from silt 30 feet underwater near where the steamship docked caught diver David Leander's eye last June. Bernard Licata, president of the Harsens Island St. Clair Flats Historical Society, got wind of the discovery this month and began a search for the message duo's descendants.
Nancy Schaefer and her mother, Bette Schaefer, of Traverse City, who is Tillie's daughter-in-law, were stunned to hear of the find.
"It brought her back to life," Nancy Schaefer said. "We haven't heard Tillie's name in years. It was super exciting -- a connection to our family."
Tillie, who married and acquired the last name Schaefer, lived in Dearborn and had nine children before she died in 1984. Nancy Schaefer remembers her as a hat designer and a stylish, spunky lady. A photo from her 80th birthday celebration depicts a youthful, trim woman.
The discovery offers the Schaefers a glimpse into a time before they hosted Tillie for family dinners and holidays. Nancy Schaefer imagines her grandmother, who was 22 and lived in Detroit at the time, "goofing around" with her girlfriend on the island.
Bette Schaefer is astounded the bottle and its message remained intact for 97years.

This percolating #RedSox-#Dodgers deal, six weeks from the end of the season, is such a #Lakers thing to do. #Magic
Gonzalez has pitched 35 times this year + is still 0-0. Most appearances in a season w/o a decision: Trever Miller, '07 #Astros, 76. #Nats
Now that he's a Dodger, I'm guessing Josh #Beckett swears off clubhouse beer … and replaces it with a nice Chardonnay. #MLB #RedSox
Just wondering: If you win the #FedExCup on the #PGATour, do you get free covered parking at #Redskins home games? #NFL
Instead of coming back with the #Astros, maybe Roger #Clemens should enter the Tour de France. #MLB #Lance
At FedExField waiting for Andrew Luck + #RG3 to resume reinventing the wheel — or whatever they're supposed to be doing. #Redskins #Colts
Reggie Wayne, the brother Bruce never talks about, with a 21-yard reception to the Indy 41. #Redskins #Colts #NFL
#RG3 has gone deep 3 times now (without success). Might not lead Luck in passing yards, but leads in Yards the Ball Is in the Air.
#RG3 might not have connected on any deep throws, but his arm strength was evident. Rest assured opponents will respect it. #Redskins #Colts
Alfred Morris fits the profile of a Mike Shanahan RB. He carried 12 times in 1st half, + after each 1 he made it back to huddle. #Redskins
Too bad LaVon Brazill is WR instead of an OG. Then he could wear a jersey that says: Brazill 66. #Colts #Redskins #NFL
With release of Cooley, only 3 #Redskins offensive players, by my count, predate Shanahan: Moss, Davis and Armstrong ('09 practice squad).
Make that 4 offensive players that predate Shanny. RT @SportingParagon Will Montgomery, UDFA with Zorn.
What would be even funnier is if Cooley wound up with the #Ravens. Cooley for Cundiff, even up. How would that sit with #Redskins fans?
Hard to believe Cooley, at 30, doesn't have some good football left, even if it's just as a complementary player. #Redskins #NFL
Most receptions by a TE since Cooley entered the #NFL (2004): Gonzalez 681, Witten 661, Gates 569, Winslow 437, Cooley 428.
The reason Cooley wasn't as revered outside of D.C. as he was here is that this is the Golden Age of Tight Ends. #Redskins #NFL
Clinton Portis retired 77 rushing yards shy of 10,000. Cooley is 72 catches shy of 500. Wonder if he can get there. #Redskins #NFL
FYI: Cundiff had connected on 12 of 13 FG tries in the playoffs before his miss at the end of the AFC title game… . #Redskins #NFL
FYI, Part 2: Inside of 50 yards, Cundiff is 53 for 59 the past two seasons — an 89.8 percent success rate. #Redskins #NFL
The #Redskins have had 2 kickers under contract in the last 3 seasons who've kicked 7 FGs in a game — Cundiff + Shayne Graham (2010). #NFL
I mention this because the #Redskins record for FGs in a game is 5 — most recently by Shaun Suisham in this game: http://bit.ly/PN1lG6 #NFL
Not saying this last preseason game is a low priority for #Redskins, but wouldn't be surprised if they accepted volunteers from the stands.
Don't know which is sadder — that #NFL will use replacement officials in Week 1 or that there are enough zebras willing to be replacements.
FYI: This is the 3rd preseason game Jim Core and his replacement crew have worked. There were no fatalities in the first 2. #Redskins #Bucs
Looking at this (small) crowd at FedEx, I'm waiting for the P.A. guy to announce that the game has been moved to the Ellipse. #Redskins #Bucs
This talk about Vick and his new flak jacket reminds me of an #SI story in '79 about #Oilers QB Dan Pastorini. http://bit.ly/Os936t #Eagles
When they were still in Boston, the #Redskins played regular season games on Wednesday in '33 (at Pittsburgh), '34 and '35 (at Detroit).
In each instance, the #Redskins played 3 games in 8 days (Sunday-Wednesday-Sunday). So it was in the #NFL's beginnings.
A #Redskins band member I followed into the stadium was miffed at having his instrument case checked by a bomb-sniffing dog… . #Bucs
I told him, "You can't be too sure these days. Especially with French horns — or as I like to call them, Freedom horns. #Redskins #Bucs
Tonite's game will be considered a success for the #Redskins as long as the words ligament, hamstring + dislocated don't show up in stories.
Been a tough week for #Redskins legends. Cooley cut, + now Dan Snyder is hosting a non-Joe Gibbs driver in his private box (Earnhardt Jr.).
My sincerest hope: That this game doesn't seem longer than the 11 days between now the #Redskins' opener at New Orleans. #Bucs #NFL
Wonder how many six-packs the concessions folks ordered for this game. #Redskins #Bucs #NFL
The MVP of this #Redskins- #Bucs game, by the way, will henceforth be known as Mr. Wednesday Night. #NFL
The thing about Brandon Banks as a WR is that you could accuse him of short-arming every catch because, well, he's got short arms. #Redskins
Obviously, the #Redskins' game plan tonight is Make Everybody Forget Graham Gano. Cundiff: 2 field goals, 3 touchbacks. #Bucs #NFL
The difference between today's #NFL and the NFL of yore (i.e. the '50s)? Today's NFL: replacement officials. '50s NFL: replacement teeth.
Confession: During the timeout in the #Redskins game, I watched a replay of Bryce Harper's 2-run jack in Miami. #Nats
If somebody would just kick out the plug on the stadium lights, I'm sure everybody would be willing to cut the game short. #Redskins #Bucs
Was this the last 2-HR game by a 19-year-old (before Bryce's)? It came in '96 World Series. Andruw Jones. http://bit.ly/PRsTYo #Nats #MLB
Who would have guessed before this preseason that Kirk Cousins would throw 73 passes and #RG3 would throw 31? #Redskins #Bucs #Baylor
My column on one of the 19-year-old CF who hit two HR in a game … and lived in Alexandria VA for 25 years. http://bit.ly/NFaVX7 #Nats
Here's the game in '62 when 19-year-old #WhiteSox CF Brian McCall hit two HR. He never got another #MLB hit. http://bit.ly/PvsgDw #Nats
McCall is now an artist outside Pittsburgh (after living in Alexandria VA for 25 years). Check out his work: http://bit.ly/OMJPQP #Nats #MLB
Edwin Jackson's 3.53 ERA and 1.16 WHIP are better than his career lows (3.62/1.26) since he became a full-time starter. And he's 8-9. #Nats
Final preseason pass totals: Tannehill 78, Luck 66, Wilson 63, Weeden 49, #RG3 31. All 5 rookies slated to start in Week 1. #Redskins #NFL
Kirk Cousins, by the way, threw for more yards in the preseason than any other #NFL QB — 560. #Redskins
