Asclepsis tuberosa or butterfly weed is a wonderful addition to the summer garden. Its bright orange flowers are irresistible to butterflies, especially the monarch. Although the flowers lure the monarch butterfly, the monarch caterpillar eats nothing but the foliage of this particular plant. One morning I discovered that the caterpillar had eaten every single leaf. Normally I would be heart sick to see a plant damaged but the presence of a monarch in the garden is a gift.
Despite being called a weed (milkweed more specifically), I do not consider it a weed. As a matter of fact, it is a well-behaved, easy - to - grow, beautiful perennial in the garden. After the blooms fade, green seedpods take their place. The seeds do eventually migrate through the air; this plant, however, seems only to have spread in my garden by forming larger clumps. Butterfly weed prefers full sun, although mine is doing very well in part sun. It is not a drought tolerant plant, but enjoys water during dry times.
Ascelpsis tuberosa provides a double gift for the gardener. It not only attracts flights of butterflies to the garden, but it also brightens any flower bed.
Although the name 'Endless Summer' (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Endless Summer') could suggest the title of a cable tv show or a soap opera, it is actually the name of a wonderful mophead hydrangea. What makes this hydrangea with its brilliant blue flowers so special is that it reblooms. It blooms on old and new wood in the same season, often blooming in early summer and then in fall. Another positive about 'Endless Summer' is that if a late frost kills the early blooms there will be more to follow. This easy- to-grow hydrangea likes the same things that other mopheads do: ample water (at least an inch per week), morning sun, and afternoon shade. Give it a good home in rich organic soil. If your soil is heavy, consider making a planting bed instead of just a single hole. Planting a hydrangea high as you would an azalea also will improve drainage. Just because a plant likes shade, planting it right next to a large tree is not often a good idea as the plant has to compete with the trees roots for nutrition and moisture. High shade in a yard is a blessing. A nice layer of mulch is always a good idea as it will help to conserve moisture and keep the soil cooler in the summer.
Pruning techniques for 'Endless Summer' are not difficult. Prune mopheads immediately after flowering. Because 'Endless Summer' reblooms, pruning it should occur in late summer to early fall. However, flower buds for the next season may begin to form from August to October so if yours needs pruning, you may have to sacrifice a few late flowers to get this garden task accomplished at the right time. It is a good idea to prune out all the dead canes and even to cut about one third of the older stems to the ground every year. This will encourage your hydrangeas to grow stronger, have a nicer shape, and have more flowers.
My mature 'Endless Summer' is about 5 feet high and almost that wide. It is a joy in the garden as the flowers look like jewels. With so many gorgeous hydrangeas on the market it is often difficult to choose a new one, but those that rebloom are a necessity for the summer garden, guaranteeing you a summer full of endless flowers.
These are hard days for gardeners. We have talked about the heat to everyone we meet and we are suffering through it as I write these words. I can't remember days of continual 100 plus temperatures, This kind of heat probably has happened in other years, but, like many other bad memories, I have forgotten those times. I have not, however, forgotten the drought of a few years ago when my town of Jacksonville imposed watering restrictions. For a plant person this can spell disaster. We saved water from every possible indoor source and carried it outside in buckets. Hope we do not face that same situation this year.
By now, unless you have been watering your grass, it has turned an ugly shade of brown and is pretty crispy. It is not really dead, only dormant. As soon as it rains, it will green back up (unless it is a newly sodded lawn in which case the color may be a cry for help). Should you decide to water, please remember to water deeply and less often. Grass needs about an inch of moisture a week to look like a golf course. You can judge how much water your lawn is getting by setting empty tuna cans around to catch the water. The best time to water your lawn is between 4 and 9 am.
Although your lawn will bounce back from this drought and heat, these same conditions are much harder on many annuals and perennials, trees and shrubs, especially newly planted ones. Many or most annuals are water hogs. The sun coleus I planted are begging for a drink at least twice a day. The pentas are hanging their heads. If you put in new ornamental plants or trees last spring, they must have water to survive until they are settled in. Even those planted last winter need to be watered. Again water deeply and less often, early in the morning if possible. Watering at night may encourage the development of fungus and disease. By watering early you allow the foliage to dry. A good layer of mulch surely helps keep the soil from drying out as quickly (and keeps down the weeds). Overhead watering is never the best choice; drip irrigation wastes less water and gets the water where it is needed most – to the roots. Many of us, however, have the traditional over head irrigation systems in our yards – either through in ground sprinkler systems or rotating sprinklers. Some soaker hoses added to the mix will help.
Now is not the time to fertilize--struggling plants don't need encouragement to grow. They need to use their strength to survive. Good soil helps plants to be strong. Layers of compost mixed in the soil next winter will improve the structure of the soil and make it easier for water to reach the roots.
The use of drought tolerant plants in the landscape is certainly a solution to reducing our water usage. There are so many to choose from: sedums, agaves, yuccas, and even cactus. These laugh at the drought and the heat. These drought tolerant beauties also make wonderful container plantings. (Note to myself; do not plant three dozen sun coleus in pots and beds next year).
Be kind to yourself on these sweltering days. For us humans working in the garden in the early morning or early evening will be the healthiest for us. With a little patience we will survive another Alabama summer.

2005 National Heroes Awards Recipients
Robert Wiebe, MD
2005 EMSC Lifetime Achievement Award
This award is given to an individual who is a national advocate for Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC), and who has devoted a significant part of his or her life to promoting and advancing pediatric emergency care. This individual must have worked to change the manner in which we care for children throughout the entire continuum of care, be on numerous committees and boards at the state and national levels, and have EMSC-related works published in journals, textbooks, and/or other publications
Rober Wiebe, MD, has promoted the emergency needs of children over a long and very productive career.
At the national level he sits on the Committee on Pediatric Emergency Medicine (COPEM) for both the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the latter of which he served as chair for four years. He served on the AAP's Pediatric Education for Prehospital Professionals Steering Committee and Advanced Pediatric Life Support (APLS) Joint Task Force. He currently is a member of the AAP's Committee on Continuing Medical Education.
To have served so many is an astounding contribution and tribute to Dr. Wiebe's dedication and inability to say no when his talent and experience are needed to improve the lives of children.
Dr. Wiebe has been very influential in EMSC initiatives regarding office preparedness for primary caretakers. He patiently worked for years on the preparation of the ACEP/AAP joint statement on the Care of the Child in the Emergency Department: Guidelines for Preparedness. This breakthrough document will have long-term, far-reaching effects on the emergency care of children throughout the country.
He also worked on the AAP/ACEP Emergency Information Form and many other documents regarding children with special health care needs. He spearheaded the concept and organization of a national meeting for AAP COPEM chairs, which for the first time brought representatives of 50 states together with the sole purpose of improving EMSC.
Dr. Wiebe has served as the principle investigator or co-investigator on five EMSC Targeted Issue grants. He has also mentored many young investigators through the process of getting their first EMSC grants.
Dr. Wiebe is an extraordinary EMSC educator who has delivered numerous lectures on EMSC, and has authored more than 50 journal articles and 16 books or chapters.
Dr. Wiebe has made an impact on all areas of emergency care, from the EMT to office providers and emergency physicians.
Dr. Wiebe's legacy to EMSC is that of a leader who never sought the personal spotlight but quietly persevered to increase public attention and evoke coordinated action at the highest national levels on the behalf of children.
Sue Hohenhaus
2005 EMSC Project Coordinator of Distinction Award
This award honors a person that has a comprehensive understanding of his or her state's EMSC-related issues, and has successfully integrated EMSC into state EMS programs for the long term. In addition, the recipient of this award must have excelled at collaborating with other organizations and developed an EMSC state program or product that serves as a model for the nation.
For five years, Sue Hohenhaus served as the EMSC state coordinator for the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services. Through her dedicated efforts, Sue has improved the knowledge of the public and providers on critical pediatric issues, advocated for a seamless inclusion of EMSC into emergency care systems, and assisted in the creation of many well-known and widely-used products, including Office Preparedness for Pediatric Emergencies, the North Carolina-Tennessee Pediatric Advanced Life Support Course, and the Pediatric Mass Casualty Incident Guidelines, to name a few.
While with the North Carolina Office of EMS, Sue made herself well-known on the "frontline." She traveled the state, visiting hospitals and EMS stations, and often running calls with the EMS crews. Her dedicated efforts helped providers to "buy" into the EMSC initiatives she spearheaded.
In addition to targeting frontline workers, Sue understands the importance of educating and securing the support of other key collaborators involved in the continuum of care, including doctors, nurses, and injury prevention specialists. Sue is described as "having the ability to connect with people where they are, whether it is a parent in the emergency department or an EMS provider on the scene or a potential funder in a corporate board room."
Sue also has a special interest and expertise in pediatric safety, and her work as the project coordinator for the EMSC Enhancing Pediatric Patient Safety Grant at Duke University is setting the national standards in this new and critical area. In addition, Sue co-wrote the new safety portions for the forthcoming PEPP Course, a program that is intended to establish safety principles for more than one million BLS and ALS pre-hospital professionals.
Beth MacDonald
2005 EMSC Family Member Volunteer of the Year
This award is given to a family member who has provided exemplary service that has made a significant positive impact on addressing the emergency medical needs of the children in his or her community.
For the past 12 years, Beth MacDonald has served as a parent leader and as a tremendous resource to Delaware's young children and their families. Her volunteer activities include: parent representative of the Delaware EMSC program; state coordinator and regional representative of Family Voices; chair of the Medicaid Managed Care Panel; chair of the Interagency Coordinating Council, the governor-appointed advisory council for the Birth to Three Early Intervention System. In addition, she volunteers with the Delawareans with Special Needs organization, the Coordinating Council for Children with Disabilities, and the Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Subcommittee on Medical Homes and works with Partners in Policy, a leadership training program for adults with disabilities and parents of young children with developmental disabilities.
As a parent of a child who is ventilator-dependent, Beth's passion is to make life better for children with special health care needs and their families. Her most noted EMSC accomplishment is the useful guidance she provided in the development of the Special Needs Alert Program. Her thoughtful insight has greatly improved the program, making it much more user-friendly and family-centered. Beth works constantly to promote the Special Needs Alert Program at home, at work, at schools, and to paramedics throughout the state.
Nels Sanddal
2005 EMSC Provider Leadership Award
The EMSC Provider Leadership Award recognizes a clinically-based health professional who has dedicated his or her time, talent, and energy to achieve the highest level of care for children in the community. This individual has helped assure the best possible care for sick and injured kids, and provides leadership in addressing priority EMSC issues.
In her nomination form, Mary Jean Erschen describes Nels as "a living legend to the EMSC community." The number of children's lives that Nels has touched throughout the years is too numerous to count. He has always been very willing to serve children in any way that is asked of him.
He has consistently been a role model and mentor to many professionals in the EMSC community, including state coordinators, regional advocates, and federal and national leaders.
In addition to his work as an EMS instructor, Nels has led or assisted in the design and development of numerous EMSC projects, including those that have received national recognition. His claim to fame in the EMSC world is his work in developing the Intermountain Regional EMSC Coordinating Council. His efforts through the council have led to many successful regional initiatives to improve the systems of emergency care for our children.
Since 1993, he has served as an advisor, director, or lead investigator for eleven pediatric-related grants and contracts. His most current project is to develop an interactive CD-ROM for prehospital care providers based on the pediatric triage program JumpSTART.
Nels is a nationally-recognized speaker and author, specializing in pediatric EMS issues, children with special health care needs, and suicide.
Leslee Stein-Spenser
2005 State EMSC Policymaker of Distinction Award
The State EMSC Policymaker of Distinction Award honors an individual who has been a state public official within the past five years; has advanced state legislation promoting EMSC programs or related measures; and has a statewide, regional, or national reputation for safeguarding the health and well-being of children.
For 18 years, Leslee Stein-Spencer served as chief of the Division of EMS and Highway Safety for the Illinois Department of Public Health. During this time she worked tirelessly to develop the Illinois EMS system as well as its trauma and disaster preparedness programs. In 1994, after long recognizing the need for pediatric preparedness, Leslee pushed for and succeeded in obtaining initial EMSC funding.
Throughout the years, Leslee's support, guidance, and political skills were incredibly helpful in navigating the Illinois EMSC program through multiple hurdles and challenges. Due to her leadership and vision, she worked to establish a state EMSC Advisory Board, mandate prehospital pediatric protocols and equipment and supplies, establish EMT pediatric educational requirements and launched a very challenging pediatric facility recognition process, among others.
Through her efforts, a dedicated EMSC manager position was secured within the Illinois Department of Public Health in 1999. Most recently, she allocated funds to support a pediatric disaster preparedness coordinator. She also took the extra effort to assure that the interests of children were represented on all terrorism task force committees.
Although Leslee worked at the administrative level, she never forgot or lost touch with the first responders. During her tenure as chief, she also worked as a nurse in a local emergency department several evenings a month. It was her way of connecting with and understanding the needs and issues of frontline personnel.
Leslee faithfully attended the Annual EMSC Grantee Meetings, serving as a presenter on several occasions; volunteered her time as an EMSC grant reviewer; and advocated EMSC issues through the National Association of State EMS Directors.
Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis Foundation
2005 EMSC Community Partnership of Excellence Award
The EMSC Community Partnership of Excellence Award recognizes an organization that has taken a leadership role in, and made significant contribution to, improving emergency care for children and their families. In addition, the recipient of this award must demonstrate an ability to work collaboratively with a state EMSC program to improve pediatric emergency care in one or more states.
Since 2000, the Nebraska-Iowa Kiwanis Foundation has partnered with the EMSC program to provide needed basic-level pediatric equipment and education to EMS services located in Nebraska and Iowa. Each year since then, community-based Kiwanis clubs, matched by Foundation funds, have been able to distribute needed pediatric equipment to EMS services. To date, more than 400 services in Iowa and Nebraska have received the valuable gift of equipment, and another 100 services are scheduled to receive basic-level equipment and education in the near future.
But the generosity didn't stop within the Heartland. When the Foundation's Milford Hanna and Jim Underwood heard that the territory of Samoa needed the same resources that were used by Nebraska and Iowa EMS personnel, they once again stepped up to the plate and made it possible for the Nebraska and Iowa EMSC programs to present Samoa with the first of six pediatric equipment bags.
In her nomination letter, Katrina Altenhofen stated: "No where in our wildest dreams did we think that a '10-minute' speech on EMSC and the needs of EMS would lead to this collaboration."
"These two gentlemen have served as the backbone . . . to bring these wonderful resources to the volunteer EMS community."
Partners for Child Passenger Safety Research Team
2005 Outstanding EMSC Research Project Award
This award highlights an individual or team who has completed a significant EMSC-related research study that confirms current practice or has the potential to impact the provision of pediatric emergency care at a national or international level. The project's research findings must also have been published within the past 15 months.
This year's winning research project is the Partners for Child Passenger Safety research team based at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Through the unique collaboration known as Partners for Child Passenger Safety or PCPS, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company address the fact that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and disability in children older than one year in the United States.
PCPS is the first academic-corporate partnership that conducts surveillance on children in crashes to determine how and why children are injured or killed. The multidisciplinary team of scientists at PCPS is dedicated to preventing child injuries and improving pediatric emergency care through understanding the occurrence and mechanisms of child passenger injury.
PCPS created the first national child-specific crash surveillance system. This system provides the highway safety community with a nationally-representative database on children in car crashes.
PCPS findings have been published in numerous peer-review journals. In 2004 alone, two PCPS studies were published. The first, "Recent Trends In Child Restraint Practices In the United States," appeared in Pediatrics. Later, "Optimal Restraint Reduces the Risk of Abdominal Injury In Children Involved In Motor Vehicle Crashes" appeared in Annals of Surgery.
PCPS created and launched a new educational resource for educators, parents, and caregivers on the Children's Hospital web site. The site provides user-friendly child passenger safety information in both English and Spanish, including videos on correct child safety seat installation.
PCPS research findings have helped advance the use of child restraints, understanding of child injury mechanisms, and legislative reform. Twenty-eight state and two federal laws, providing both new and improved child passenger safety legislation, are now in place thanks in part to PCPS efforts to provide solid scientific evidence regarding children in crashes.

Suitable Visions
Kimberly Cihlar
From the Print Edition:
Gene Hackman, Sep/Oct 00
Casual Fridays, dot-com startups, and jeans notwithstanding, the classic business suit is--as it was for the last century--the corporate uniform of the day. After all, who would, for instance, hire an attorney who went to court in shirt sleeves? When it's time to really get down to business, the traditional suit comes out of the closet.
And yet, as with all things fashionable, styles change. So we asked a select group of men's clothiers to create ensembles from their wares and share their visions for the suit in the coming fall season. Some spoke in specifics--noting variations in button stances, lapel widths, shoulder padding. Others were more general--referring instead to directions in style, flexibility, casualness. But all affirmed their belief in the suit as the mainstay in a man's wardrobe.
"It's just not true that this casual-Friday trend is destroying the suit market," Brioni USA chief executive officer Joseph Barrato confidently states. The expanded Escorial line includes a new model, the Millennio, "geared to the young man." The look is very '50s, with a higher gorge and button stance, shoulders that are very soft and a slightly narrower lapel. Predominate colors are gray and blue, with new tones such as tan, rich greens, browns and neutrals. The line also includes exclusive patterns. Shoes by John Lobb.
Executive vice president Jack Ferrari is sweeping in describing the Hickey-Freeman approach for fall: "'Your statement, perfectly made' is our philosophy for the season, encapsulating our belief that the Hickey-Freeman man expresses his own distinctive tastes and individuality while wearing our clothes." The key elements to a lasting impression, he says, are "quality, luxury, comfort and perhaps most significantly, versatility." Shoes by John Lobb.
William Foy, sales manager in the United States, is more exacting. "In this new collection, the novelty is the classic three-button jacket that buttons very high, in several fabrics that reflect the tradition of the bespoke suit but with a more modern point of view." The look depends on "new and precious fabrics" such as cashmere in various melange nuances, enriched with double-hand stitching. Other fabrics include English wool finished to produce more brilliance, vicuna and guanaco. Foy also touts the D'Avenza evening suits, which include velvet tuxedos infused with Lurex and one model featuring a longer length with hidden buttons. Shoes by J.M. Weston.
"More than through a garment or a style, the Giorgio Armani man defines himself through his attitude to life," according to Armani. Nevertheless, Armani's fall look is definable in far less ethereal terms. Precise lines emphasize the contours of the body. The waist is defined, shoulders are strong, trousers are straight. Flexibility is maintained through the combination of innovative and traditional fabrics that are full-bodied: double-face wools and techno-wools with polyester for a washed effect and subtle padding. The palette is wintry: iceberg gray, polar blue, frozen aquamarine, frosted lilac, fog white and intense, deep-sea blue. The Giorgio Armani signature of subtle patterns, optical signs and micro-geometry is reaffirmed.

So after listening to Make Belive then reading up on a few of the songs like Hold Me, Peace, Haunt you Every Day etc
I found out that Rivers wrote most of the songs while Fasting or in a state of meditation which placed him in an emotional frame of mind.
Do you think if the album was self produced like Pinkerton or Maladroit the album would have been similar to a Second Pinkerton?
Views: 24
Maybe if the lyrics were stronger
To be fair on Rivers, that could've well been Rubin's fault. Didn't the guy tell Rivers that he likes broad, easy to decipher lyrics and that he wanted to flatten the irony (= charm and interest) out of Rivers' songwriting?
Farkas said:
Maybe if the lyrics were stronger
there will never be a Pinkerton 2. Wish all you want, but what makes Pinkerton so special, is that there is and will never be anything like it.
Other band's albums are similar to Pinkerton. I'll say of a band, "That's their Pinkerton", as in that's the album that was under-appreciated, but really their best work to date. Like Brand New's "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me".
I don't think Rick Rubin had a very big hand in the creative process of Make Believe. Weezer recorded the whole thing without Rick around, and then just sent him songs to listen to. If Rick did advise River's to write broad lyrics, then that is a shame. I hope every album from here on out is self-produced.....or by Dr. Luke
i really liked it but i don't think it is like Pinkerton but i can see why people think it's kinda like Pinkerton.
Hell yes. Make Believe is probably my second favourite Weezer album after Pinkerton anyway. Every song (apart from Beverly Hills) is so catchy and fun, sure the lyrics aren't as brilliant as they are on Pinkerton but thy are sweet and genuinely heartfelt so I can't help but love it. Had it been self produced it would have definitely been as great as Pinkerton. In my eyes at least.

One such region is Paso Robles (pa-soh roh-blays), located in the south central coastal region of California, approximately halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The original name of the region was El Paso de Robles, "The Pass of the Oaks."
The settlement was founded in 1828 by Franciscan friars who, as early as 1790, built missions and established mission outposts. They cultivated grapes for sacramental purposes. These mission ranchos originated in San Diego and spread northward, terminating near Sonoma.
Over the years, Paso Robles has been known as the Wild West of the California wine industry. Drury James, co-founder of the town of Paso Robles, was the uncle of the outlaw brothers Frank and Jesse James. In the 1860s, the James brothers made their way to Paso Robles and stayed at their uncle's ranch.
Later, Jesse would return to bathe in the hot mineral springs of the area to recuperate from a gunshot wound.
European winemaking families did not immigrate to the area until the mid-1800s, and commercial winemaking did not take hold in the area until the late 1800s.
Paso Robles is the fifth largest American Viticultural Area in California. Today, approximately 200 wineries call Paso Robles home, including well-known labels such as Eberle, Eos, Robert Hall, Tablas Creek and Justin.
Justin Vineyards and Winery was established by Deborah and Justin Baldwin in 1981 on 160 acres with the goal of producing Bordeaux-style wines. The Baldwins were both former investment bankers who left careers to operate a family winery. The estate grew to include an inn and restaurant, and their wines garnered critical acclaim from top wine publications and critics.
In 2010, this family-owned winery sold for an undisclosed sum to Roll International Corporation, which, among other things, owns Fiji bottled water. Roll plans to expand the brand, but the Baldwin family will continue to live on the premises and be involved in the management of Justin for the immediate future.
Reactions to this sale have been mixed. Loyal members of the Justin Wine Club fear the change, while other area winery owners see the sum paid for Justin as validation of their land's worth.
I have tasted a lot of Justin wines over the years because a generous friend is an avid collector. I recently tasted two Justin wines, a moderately priced release and an older vintage specialty label, Justification.
Try these Justin wines to experience Paso Robles:
Justin Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 Paso Robles. Balanced, fruit-forward wine. Ready to drink, but might improve with another year of aging. Bright berry fruit flavors, medium-body cabernet. Serve with roasted lamb or steak.
I did not find the 2010 vintage locally, but the 2009 vintage is available at Tyson Fine Wines and Things in Golden Springs for $24.50.
Justin Justification 2005 Paso Robles. Not available locally but found online for $41. More recent vintages are available from the winery. Drink now!
A substantial wine from 64 percent cabernet franc and 36 percent merlot. Concentrated, complex blend. Earthy, almost musty nose, but this does not transfer to the rich berry fruit flavors and smooth tannins.
Made to emulate a St. Emilion right bank Bordeaux wine. The prestigious Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River. The left bank is home to famous top growth chateaux where cabernet dominates. Right bank wines are generally lesser-known properties where merlot and cabernet franc dominate.

If I Could Force a Recall of Things I Don't Like About the NFL…
Many Packers fans in Wisconsin are probably heading to the polls today to vote in the Scott Walker recall election. In case you are unaware of the recall and why it's happening because the only thing you read is ALLGBP.com, Walker is being recalled because he took away collective bargaining rights for most public employees in Wisconsin.
In New York, mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to ban the sale of sugary drinks that are larger than 16 ounces. The mayor's idea has a lot of people up in arms and complaining about America becoming a "nanny state" with a government that invades our personal lives.
On the federal level, unless the Supreme Court says otherwise, all of us likely will be mandated to purchase health insurance thanks to president Obama's healthcare law. That's got a lot of people all worked up.
The last thing I want to do in this space is start a debate about the merits of allowing public employees to collectively bargain. I definitely don't want to pontificate about how our ability to buy a 64-ounce Mountain Dew impacts our freedoms. And I for sure don't want to ignite a health care debate.
Instead, I want to talk about football.
What if I became NFL commissioner and started coming up with rules and laws like Walker, Bloomberg and Obama? If I had the power to legislate against things I don't like about the NFL, here's what I would do.
- Only rich people or super fans attend games these days. I don't think that's healthy for the game long-term. It's important that casual fans who might not be worth six figures are able to attend a game every now and then. Therefore, I would mandate that teams sell 5,000 tickets to each game at $10 apiece. I wouldn't mandate where these seats should be located. They can be in the nosebleeds. But if a middle-class family of four is able to take in a game for $40 once per season, I think the game's popularity will be maintained well into the future. The purpose of this is law would not be to try and somehow legislate fairness. I truly believe that the game's high prices will eventually disenfranchise the casual fan and the $10 seats would be one way to prevent that.

Deputies Help Deer With Doritos Bag Stuck On Its Head
By editor
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
Key deer in Florida are an endangered species. Their diet includes leaves and berries - definitely not Doritos - which does not mean a deer can't get cravings. Sheriff's deputies on patrol in the Florida Keys spotted one on the side of the road, with an empty bag of Doritos stuck on its head. It must have wanted the last chip in the bottom, a deputy told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. The deer stood calmly as the deputies removed the bag.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Getting to see "Old School Slayer Night" was perfect for me as 85-90 was when my musical taste was developed and I know the lyrics of every album front to back from that time period. Absolutely all my favorites! The pit was a little active throughout the show but I can tell that the Slayer audience is getting a little older as I ...

12, 2012, Directed by Dustin Hoffman
Starring: Tom Courtenay, Maggie Smith, Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly
A quintessentially British cast has been compiled for screen legend Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, Quartet, based on Ronald Harwood's play about a group of former musicians who now live together in a retirement home: think The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel for opera singers.
The old-age heroes are a trio when we first meet them, formed by Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly and Tom Courtenay - before a singing blast from their past, in the form of Maggie Smith, completes the quartet. The happy reunion is stunted by an apparent 'history' between Smith's former-superstar Jean and Courtenay's Reg, causing considerate struggles when the quartet must reform one final time at Beecham House's annual gala to mark what would have been Verdi's birthday. Each are delegated their individual character set-pieces to begin with, almost disparate from each other as they stroll/glide/hobble their way around the retiring home. Courtenay leads talks with visiting schoolchildren, attempting to decipher the 'modern art form of rap,' whilst Connolly's cheeky Scot Wilf is busy making harmless advances on the home's sweet young carer, Dr Coburn (Sheridan Smith) and Collins' sporadic Sissy flits about, forgetting to deliver notes to fellow residents. It is when Smith makes her presence known to these that Quartet keeps it together; up-tight, and not in anyway self-deprecating, the actress makes her Jean warm, in an otherwise pretty cold role. Reg's evident problem with Jean's presence is explored with care by Courtenay and Smith, even if this does lead to what appears to be several memory lapses in the space of a scene; thankfully, the script doesn't notch this down to their age.
As is the same with other films that may contain older characters, there's always a hint of danger - a stumble here, a raised voice there may evoke uneasiness in concern of the consequence of such an action. Fortunately, Quartet includes hints of these moments with nothing coming of them - instead allowing Hoffman to embrace why these characters, and we as cinemagoers, have come together instead of opting for what could have been a more dramatic route. This does mean that several moments are left open ended (early stages of dementia are evidently witnessed) – but the film's close is wholesome enough to satisfy. Admittedly, Hoffman's direction isn't actively felt, although you can tell the legend wallowed in the Buckinghamshire country scenery and the script falls flat at countless moments. No, Quartet may not be a nail-biter, or even the film of the year, but it's a carefully-constructed piece that cares about its characters more than most; lest we forget, Hoffman knows character - his portrayal of cinema icons Benjamin Braddock (The Graduate), Ratso (Midnight Cowboy) to name but a few. It is to his credit that backing him up are four incredibly-established actors who all ensure that Quartet remains a performance-led piece, that may at times require a walking stick to keep it upright.

Unbuckling the mailbag:
Question: Imagine how USC fans are going to feel after a 6-7 Georgia Tech team wins the game.
Larry Diaz
Answer: How could USC fans feel any worse? The Trojans were picked to win the national title, lost five times and have been "rewarded" with a Sun Bowl matchup against an insect-nicknamed team with a losing record.
The good news for USC fans is El Paso is only an 11-plus-hour drive from Newport Beach. In fact, Newport is closer to El Paso (796 miles) than El Paso is to Houston (802 miles).
USC fans can pass the driving time by playing the popular car game, "I spy USC's new defensive coordinator."
Or, sing the time-killing tune "62 Oregon points on the board, 62 points on the board. Take one down, pass it around, 61 Oregon points on the board."
The worst USC season imaginable is ending in a border town across from Juarez. What a potential nightmare this is for outgoing defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. He finally gets away from all those Pac-12 spread offenses only to end up pitted against Paul Johnson's triple-option attack.
Playing Georgia Tech is similar to doing agility drills through barbed wire. USC defenders need to watch their legs, as the blocking schemes in the triple-option attack are completely different, with offensive linemen coming at you from all angles.
Q: Will SC-Georgia Tech make us forget 2008 Sun Bowl Classic: Pitt 3, Oregon State 0?
Steve Kelly
A: Come on now, fans of lawn bowling thought that game was a thrill a minute. The only score was Justin Kahut's second-quarter field goal and the teams combined for 20 punts. It was the lowest-scoring bowl game since Air Force and Texas Christian played to a scoreless tie in the 1959 Cotton Bowl.
There was also the Sun Bowl in 1940, when Arizona State and Catholic didn't score.
I suspect there will be points in this year's game. Georgia Tech played Florida State tough last week in a 21-15 loss, but allowed 106 points in its previous three games.
USC has unpleasant memories of its last trip to El Paso, when Paul Hackett's Trojans were shocked by TCU, 28-19.
The game marked low ebb for USC and was a launching point for an up-and-coming TCU program that used victory to build momentum as it headed into the next millennium.
That USC win ultimately helped TCU get to the Big 12 Conference.
Q: Can you remember a less impressive Heisman crew than this year's? Each guy isn't even the best at his position.
A: I wasn't crazy with the first crew back in 1935, led by Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago. Berwanger's victory couldn't even save his school's football program.
The trophy wasn't named "Heisman" until the second year, and the telegram informing Berwanger he won noted he had been named "most valuable football player east of the Mississippi."
What were players west of the Mississippi … chopped liver?
Monk Meyer of Army finished second, and in third place was Notre Dame's William Shakespeare, whose famous quote, "To tee or not to tee," would be coined by field goal kickers for generations to come.
Seriously, the Heisman goes to the best player that particular year, so in that context I have no problem with this year's field.
I still can't believe Andrew Luck didn't win a Heisman at Stanford, but last year he ran into a more dynamic candidate in Baylor's Robert Griffin III.
Eric Crouch and Gino Torretta won Heismans, but John Elway and Peyton Manning did not.
Elway finished second behind Herschel Walker in 1982; Crouch's competition in 2001 was Rex Grossman.
Manning fended off Randy Moss in 1997, but not Charles Woodson.
Matt Barkley or Geno Smith could have made this a very impressive Heisman crew had both quarterbacks not become fizzle sticks.
Is Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M the best quarterback in the nation? Maybe not, but he did amass 4,600 total yards and had a tremendous game in upsetting then-No. 1 Alabama.
Manti Te'o may not be America's best defensive player, but he is the best defensive player on a team that is going to the BCS title game.
Collin Klein, the third finalist, would have won the award had his Kansas State team won at Baylor, but that's the way the Heisman goes.
Q: "Heisman" is a franchise, no? Why not award a separate "Heisman" for defense?
Kurt Linn
A: That's actually not a half-bad idea.
Q: I can't believe you ranked Stanford behind Georgia … remind me how many ranked teams the Bulldogs beat?
David Thom
A: It's a legitimate point, and one my Stanford wife repeatedly makes as she hands me dinner on the back porch.
There is no doubt Stanford played a tougher schedule than Georgia and that both schools ended up with 11-2 records.
Here's where the argument falls apart like USC's defense. The Stanford Cardinal lost this year at Washington, which lost to Washington State, which lost to Colorado. That's a direct loss link to Colorado, arguably the worst team in Division I.
I just can't get that loss out of my head.
Georgia had a bad loss at South Carolina, the No. 10 team in the Bowl Championship Series standings, and also lost to Alabama.
Q: What about UCLA being ranked ahead of Michigan?
Richard Chisholm
A: UCLA is 9-4 to Michigan's 8-4. UCLA is ranked one spot ahead of Michigan in the BCS standings, 17 to 18, and also ranks ahead in the USA Today, Harris and Associated Press polls.
Michigan leads UCLA only in the "Ann Arbor 'Go Blue' Interactive Bo Schembechler Index."
What about UCLA being ranked ahead of Michigan? That's almost like asking: What about the U.S. being ranked ahead of Iceland?
Q: When are you and Simers getting a radio show together?
Kevin Tiernan
A: As soon as we can get Kirk Herbstreit to join us in studio on the campus of Northern Illinois.
Q: A 70-31 shellacking of a ranked opponent to win the Big Ten is anything but a saunter: Have you ever driven an M1A1 tank? That's what the Badgers looked like at the end.
Frank Quinlan
A: Wisconsin did look impressive against Nebraska and I'm sort of softening on my position that the five-loss Badgers should not be allowed anywhere near Pasadena.
Stanford vs. Wisconsin is a bad-looking matchup, but it may not be a bad game. Wisconsin has lost five times, that's true, but three of the defeats were in overtime and the other two were by three points. So that's five total losses by six points in regulation.
The comeback of Barry Alvarez also makes Wisconsin more intriguing. Alvarez, the team's retired legendary coach, is returning to lead the Badgers in the wake of Bret Bielema's surprising defection this week to Arkansas.
Alvarez has a 3-0 record in Rose Bowl games and his last win, in 2000, was against Stanford. So, yeah, I'm starting to warm up to this idea.
Q: Battle-tested? The facts assert that Florida is far more battle tested than Notre Dame.
Dale Anderson
A: Yes, but Florida's battle tests were almost-losses at home to Bowling Green, Missouri and Louisiana Lafayette. I understand a win is a win is a win, but needing a blocked kick to hold off Louisiana Lafayette at home has to warrant some constructive criticism.
Yet, it's almost like, with Southeastern Conference schools, close wins over inferior teams don't count. Louisiana State won at Auburn this year, 12-10, but it didn't hurt LSU one bit. Auburn finished the season 0-8 in the SEC and fired its coach.
Q: Yes, we should all be impressed by the SEC, where the top six teams went 30-0 against the bottom. What a great "conference."
Dan Artmann
A: That is a fantastic statistic and goes to show just how top-heavy the SEC was this year. The conference had six really good teams, three in each conference. Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M represented the West; Georgia, South Carolina and Florida were the powers in the East. The remaining four teams in each division were mediocre to bad, with Auburn, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee being downright awful.
Q: What do you think of the [Bret] Bielema hire, in terms of product that he will produce?
Drew Stevenson
A: I think it's a risky pick for Arkansas given Bielema's roots are in the Big Ten Conference and that his Wisconsin teams were built on power and not speed. You can't win in the SEC playing the way Wisconsin did in the Big Ten.
Can Bielema recruit in the South? Can he recruit players other than real big guys who like to drink milk out of 10-gallon drums?
This will be Bielema's challenge. There were also reports Bielema didn't handle criticism well in Madison. Well, wait until he gets a heaping helping of SEC criticism.
It's a fish-out-of-water-hire to me, but so was Nick Saban when LSU hired him away from Michigan State.
I'll apply my usual three-year rule to Bielema's hire. Let's see where Arkansas is in Year 3.

Admit it: Thanksgiving festivities aside, a gigantic bowl of tagliatelle with clams, a couple of meatballs, a side of polenta and a robust, earthy red to wash it all down, sounds much better right about now, doesn't it?
Mario Batali bet his Crocs on it.
Come Monday, the famously burly, sandled chef and a small cadre of investors will open Eataly Chicago in the River North neighborhood: a ginormous, two-story, $28 million theme park of Italian food and culture. Actually, with 63,000 square feet and 23 different dining options (that's 13,000 more square feet and nine more options than the Eataly Batali opened in New York in 2010) you might even call it a kind of aircraft hangar of Italian-eating excess.
Housed in the boxy carcass of the old ESPN Zone on Ohio Street (just off Michigan Avenue), what it lacks in the stone-masoned elegance of the Manhattan location it makes up for in molto: a gelato stand, a Nutella stand, a pizza stand, a pasta maker, a pastry shop, a brewery, a meat market, a fishmonger, a bread shop, a wine shop, cooking classes, a cookbook store, a cheese counter, a vegetable-centric eatery, a seafood restaurant and Baffo, a tony fine-dining establishment (opening later in December).
The extravagance doesn't stop there: Partners include Lidia Bastianich, the PBS chef and Italian-cooking star, and son Joe Bastianich, a judge on Fox's "MasterChef" (and Batali's longtime business partner). The first Eataly opened in 2007, and there are now 17 locations, most of them in Italy and Japan. The New York Eataly pulled in $70 million its first year, the partners say, and is now one of the most-visited tourist sites in New York City.
"Frankly, we want to expand quickly," said investor Adam Saper, "but you have no idea how hard it is to find 60,000 square feet in the middle of large American cities." Indeed, Batali & Co. expect to open at least one new Eataly every year for the next five or six years: Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. …
As for Chicago: Asked if they were concerned about Eataly's big footprint and bigger ambitions, a number of owners and chefs of local Italian restaurants and markets said they weren't worried. To them, it looks more touristy than homey. "It's going to be a spectacle," said Jim Graziano, fourth-generation owner of the J.P. Graziano Italian market on Randolph Street. "So, as curious as I am, I won't go anywhere go near there for a year."
"Am I nervous?" asked Jonathan Fox, owner of La Madia, an Italian restaurant a couple of blocks away. "No. In that space, it'll be interesting to see if they can get close to the warm feelings they created in New York."
Asked to explain how the sheer scale of Eataly jibes with the earthy, hands-on reputation of its star partners, Lidia Bastianich said: "In Italy, you shop for meat, bread, have coffee then stop for wine with a friend. This is about having that in one place. And it's about our philosophy of life, of simple pleasures."
It's also "outrageously expensive, to be honest," said John Mariani, the Esquire food critic and author of "How Italian Food Conquered the World" (which features a foreword written by Lidia Bastianich). "But give Mario the credit: The man is literally larger than life, and for several decades now, everyone has copied him."
Earlier this week, as health inspectors floated around and Eataly's 650 employees buzzed about making last-minute tweaks, Batali sat down for a chat. He wore orange Crocs and an orange necktie, which hung askew across his bowling-ball chest. The following is an edited, condensed version of a longer conversation.
Q: Why, after establishing itself in New York, was Chicago for the next U.S. location for Eataly?
A: Basically, because Chicago is the most progressive restaurant city in the country. It's rich with resources and supports new things: The experimental chefs, of course, the molecular gastronomists, at Alinea, at Moto, at Schwa, being the most obvious examples. I don't think even New York would support so much bold cooking. Plus, this neighborhood, it's the right part of town, and the right mix of people. Understand: We bring Italian food, yes. But the larger idea is to lend an Italian eye to white fish and walleye, local cheeses, the Eastern European-style sausages here — what Chicago has had forever, we want to give an Italian twist.
Q: Which can also be read as an out-of-towner telling local Italians what they already know.
A: Yes, there is potential for that, but the truth is, Italians are like that! Territorial and feisty. They don't like the guy from the next town establishing himself on their block. But hopefully, in terms of other Italian restaurants and markets, the rising tide lifts all boats. When I get stopped by Italians now, and I get stopped everywhere, it's generally joyous: They tell me how I cooked something they haven't seen since their aunt died 17 years ago. You start to feel like the cultural inheritor of something that's been around since the Roman Empire. It's important because, in the 21st century, a lot of people still think Italian means pizza.
Q: OK, so why, then, is Eataly Chicago dedicated to, of all people, Ernest Hemingway?
A: He's virtually a Chicagoan (actually, Oak Park), and my partner Oscar Farinetti (who founded the first Eataly, in Turin, Italy, in 2007) is a big reader and a huge fan of Hemingway. I've been a big fan myself. Plus, Hemingway spent a lot of time in Spain, of course, drove an ambulance (in Italy). And I spent a lot of time in Spain. I recognize it's probably a bit off the beaten path in terms of well-known locals, but it's very legitimate to me.
Q: What's wrong with Al Capone?
A: (Laughs.) Oh, nothing, nothing. Probably the same problem's there that a lot of friends of mine saw with "The Sopranos" — they thought the show denigrated Italians, though really I never felt that way myself.
Q: Is it true you studied Spanish theater in college?

Government Printing Office Requirements
This section describes the Government Printing Office (GPO) requirements for all print materials, whether printed electronically or on paper. This includes requirements for printing and copying for all EERE publications.
Approved Printers
Executive Order 1283, signed by President Clinton, requires that all government offices and their contractors are required to use GPO-approved printers to print and copy all publications. For the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), the GPO-approved printers are:
- EERE laboratories
- DOE headquarters print shop
Identification Numbers, Publication Dates, and Printing Statements
All EERE print materials must have a GPO product identification number, publication date, and printing statement. This requirement includes all EERE print materials whether printed electronically or on paper. GPO product identification numbers are unique identifiers, and therefore may not be re-used.
You can obtain a GPO product identification number through all EERE-related laboratories or the DOE headquarters print shop. The GPO product identification number should always be placed to the left of the publication date and above the printing statement.
All of these elements must be on the last page or back cover of your publications. Please note that all EERE laboratories and the DOE headquarters print shop will have their own unique numbering system. All three elements will look like this example:
DOE/GO-102010-1234 October 2010
Printed with a renewable-source ink on paper containing at least 50% wastepaper, including 10% post consumer waste.

- " The location, atmosphere, and overall relaxed vibe of the place was awesome. The only thing I'd complain about are the toilets and showers... sometimes the toilets didn't flush, and the first time I took a shower there was only scalding hot water. Normally if you'd go out and come back later, these things would be fixed. So it wasn't that big a deal. I'd definitely come back. The location so close to the dunes was awesome! I'd definitely recommend doing a camel ride thru this place! "
