WHAT IS IT? The most creative new boot in two decades. The Jett J1 channels the original Scott plastic boot and the legendary Hi-Point Champion to produce a boot that is one pound lighter than some other high-end motocross boots. It is a old-school leather boot (in dimensions, sleekness, size and design) reconfigured as a modern plastic boot. It is protective and simple.Equally amazing is that Jett refused to release the boots to American consumers until they thought they were perfect—which means that Jett J1 boots are just starting to ship now
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK? Jett will target these areas on the next evolution of the Jett: (1) The rigid base is supportive and protective, but sacrifices feel. (2) Our first test boots got dirt between the plastic and the inner liner. The newest model has an elastic gaitor around the top rim that keeps dirt out. (3) We wanted more padding and Jett complied. The new padding is much plusher than on the pre-pros.
The Jett J1 boot has broken the mold of how complex a boot needs to be. The J1 offers the protection of a plastic boot, weight of a leather boot, and high-tech design of the future. Jett has set a new standard in boot construction.

The report provides hospital-specific information on four categories of health-care associated infections. In all but one of the categories, Alabama's hospitals performed better than the national average. The only category in which the state average was similar to the national average was catheter-associated urinary tract infections. These good scores didn't happen by chance.
For the past 10 years, Alabama's hospitals helped pioneer an automated infection-surveillance system that now monitors key data on approximately 80 percent of all hospital patients. It has significantly improved our infection-prevention initiatives, and in the past year alone is estimated to have prevented 1,200 infections and saved $5 million. For the last two years, two-thirds of our hospitals have participated in a national initiative to reduce blood stream infections in intensive care units. Alabama had the second highest rate of participation in the nation and was able to decrease infections by 53 percent over the two-year period.
The news gets better. Alabama's hospitals were recently ranked No. 1 in the nation on their overall performance and improvement on the quality measures endorsed by the federal government. While we are extremely proud of the work we've done, we are not resting on our laurels. Our staff and physicians understand that improving patient care is a never-ending task. In fact, we consider it an ongoing journey and are launching a statewide campaign to help hospitals focus on this journey and to invite patients and their families to join us.
It's been proven numerous times that the more a patient is involved in his or her care, the better the outcome. Therefore, we've created a new website, www.jointhehealthjourney.com, to provide information to patients, families and the general public and to share some of the important work being done by our hospitals. We hope many will join us on this important journey to save lives and to improve the quality of life for all Alabamians.

Messi completes Ballon d'Or hat-trick
Barcelona striker Lionel Messi was awarded the FIFA Ballon d'Or for the third successive year.
The 24-year-old Argentinean beat team-mate Xavi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to the title of the world's best player.
Messi, man of the match in the Champions League final in 2011, also won the La Liga, Spanish Supercopa, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup last year.
Messi's Barcelona team-mate Xavi paid tribute to the young Argentinean, predicting a bright future for him and proclaiming that Messi will be named amongst the greats in football.

Rooney said at the gala: "It was a great year and the highlight was winning the Premier League for the 19th time, which was a great moment for the club."
Barcelona's Pep Guardiola was named coach of the year; Japan's women's World Cup-winning captain Homare Sawa the women's player; Japan's (male) manager Norio Sasaki coach of the year for women's football; the Japanese FA were awarded the FIFA fair play award; Brazilian 19-year-old sensation Neymar won the FIFA Puskas award for the best goal of 2011.

Former Salvation Army official charged in toy theft
TORONTO - The former executive director of a Salvation Army facility was charged in the alleged massive theft of thousands of toys and donations from the charity's Toronto warehouse.

The Salvation Army announced the theft last week, saying up to 100,000 items worth about $2 million were allegedly stolen from the facility in Toronto's North End over nearly two years.

Whole Foods Market is starting a wine cork recycling program to make it easy for wine enthusiasts to properly dispose of corks. The company said it will accept natural wine corks at all of its 292 stores in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Austin-based Whole Foods Market is partnering with Cork ReHarvest to help collect and recycle the corks.
There are about 13 billion natural corks produced each year. The Mediterranean oak forests that supply cork support one of the world's highest levels of forest biodiversity and the second-highest number of plant species in the world. Whole foods said that no trees are cut down during cork extraction — instead, bark is hand-harvested every 9 to 12 years.

Recycling doesn't mean settling for something less. It can mean adding value for less. But the end product might even be better than ever. (Hence, the term upcycling.)
But whether a first iteration or an item's reincarnation is superior hardly matters when the end result makes the owner happy and the object serves its purpose well, maybe even rises above, to a higher calling.
Those who reclaim items for a second or third life are often driven by this reward, the thrill of taking something bound for the trash and rescuing it, restoring it and assigning it to a better life. We're thinking of artists who meld old garden tools into garden sculpture or carpenters who assemble barn planks into gleaming table tops.

eBay, the giant online garage sale facilitator, and RecycleBank, the company that figured out how to get Americans recycling by offering them consumer rewards, have announced a partnership in which each company will offer incentives to the other companies clients.
Kind of like a swap-meet in the middle of a flea market.
A little history: eBay, the online marketplace that began in 1995, began thinking green in 2007 when a group of employees formed eBay's Green Team community.

If you haven't seen it, please take a look at our story about America Recycles Day. Find out just how much energy we can save by recycling, a no-brainer if ever there was one.
Last year, a Harris poll found that 91 percent of Americans reported that they recycled. But that figure seemed really high, given the low recycling rates in some cities, like Houston, Dallas, Detroit and Indianapolis. Those were some of the slackers revealed in a study of municipal recycling in 2008 that showed major US cities varied wildly in the amount of recyclables they collected, from San Francisco's near 70 percent to Houston's under 3 percent.

Behind an early 3-point barrage, the Runnin' Rebels jumped on top of Nevada and never looked back as UNLV coasted to an 80-63 win, its eighth straight victory against the Wolf Pack. The 17-point defeat was the largest in the series since UNLV dropped the Pack 98-79 on Nov. 24, 1999. The Rebels now hold a 56-19 record in the interstate series.
Back-to-back triples from UNLV forward Mike Moser kicked things off for the visitors before another three propelled the Rebels to a 13-4 advantage just over three minutes into the contest. From there, the Rebels never looked back.
"We fought hard but they made plays with hands in their face and we had a couple of breakdowns on key plays in the game and that's just the difference," Story said. "We let them get off to a hot start and we couldn't recover from there."
Nevada (12-16 overall, 3-11 Mountain West) momentarily stopped the surge with a short 6-2 spurt to bring the score to 15-10 at the 13:50 mark, but nine unanswered Rebel points pushed UNLV's advantage to double digits at 24-10 with 12:13 on the clock.
The Pack responded with six quick points to cut the deficit to 24-16 with 9:32 to play in the first half. UNLV (22-7, 9-5) then closed the half with a 22-9 run as Moser put the finishing touches on his 20 first-half points with a corner trey for a 46-25 UNLV halftime lead.
"This game was really one guy," Nevada coach David Carter said of Moser's early contributions. "I thought he was very, very good in the first half, spotting up and hitting threes and getting tip-ins. He really got them going early."
Nevada trailed 46-25 at intermission. In the second half, the Wolf Pack tried to rally, but it was unable to get closer than 11 points of UNLV. With just under seven minutes remaining in the game, Nevada had trimmed the deficit down to 65-54, but the early hole proved too large to climb out of.
"When you play a team like that, you can't make a lot of mistakes," Carter said. "The margin for error is very small. We got it to 11 and it was almost like 'Okay, we have to get one stop,' but we never really got over the hump to get it into single digits.
"You have to give them credit. I thought Bryce Dejean-Jones made a couple of shots with hands in his face. They made some big shots. That's a very good team with some very good one-on-one players."
Story led the Pack with a game-high 24 points. Guard Deonte Burton tallied 18 points in the contest while forward Kevin Panzer added 10. All five of UNLV's starters finished with double digits in points, highlighted by Moser's 20 points and 17 from Dejean-Jones.
Nevada will try to snap its five-game skid against MWC-leading New Mexico on Wednesday before ending its regular season at Colorado State on Saturday. Tip-off against the Aggies is set for 7 p.m.
"I told the guys, 'That's close to a Top 25 team. They'll beat a lot of teams,'" Carter said. "The way they shot the ball tonight, we had hands in their face and they made some tough shots, but we have to keep moving forward. We have a Senior Night game coming up and we have to keep fighting."

text: Jacqui Fatka Archives Email Author United States, Colombia Conclude FTA Talks Select farm exports will receive immediate duty-free treatment. Jacqui Fatka Published on: Feb 27, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print After back-to-back nights of burning the midnight oil over the weekend, trade negotiators from the United States and Colombia concluded Colombia Free Trade Agreement talks early Monday morning. The final version gives immediate duty-free treatment to high quality beef, cotton, wheat, soybeans, soybean meal, key fruits and vegetables including apples, pears, peaches and cherries along with many processed food products including frozen French fries and cookies. The U.S. Trade Representative reports that the following U.S. farm products will benefit from improved market access: pork, beef, corn, poultry, rice, fruits and vegetables, processed products and dairy products. Rice is the most sensitive product for Colombia and has a tariff phase-out period of 19 years. The U.S. sugar industry was protected in the agreement, reports USTR. Deputy U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab expects Congress to take up the agreement this fall, potentially after the November elections. U.S. and Colombian officials will spend the next few weeks reviewing their agreement, and then a notice of intention to sign starts a 90-day clock, after which the agreement can be signed. The Colombia agreement is part of a broader Andean Free Trade Agreement. An agreement with Peru is expected to be approved this summer. An Ecuador FTA is possible in the upcoming months also. In 2005, Colombia and the United States had $14.3 billion in two-way trade, and Colombia is currently the second largest agricultural market for the United States in Latin America.

According to Jonesboro Head Coach and Cincinnati native Dan Maehlman the Eagles landed someone whose best basketball is ahead of him.
"The sky is the limit for Duby," said Maehlman. "He is a kid entering his third year of organized basketball. Defensively he can play high-major basketball. Offensively he needs to catch up, but he works hard and he is a great kid."
The 6-foot-8 and 230 pound Okeke is someone known for his incredible athleticism, and the work that assistant Brian Thornton and Kelsey put in with post players was a big part of his decision.
"Coach Thornton and Coach Kelsey are great people," said Okeke. "They really showed me how much they want me, and they gave me advice on how to get better. Also they have a history of improving players who are my size and position."
Another thing that worked in Winthrop's favor was a long standing relationship between Kelsey and Maehlman who were on rival high school teams.
"Pat and Brian did an unbelievable job of being who they are and being honest," said Maehlman. "I played against Pat in high school and I know his values and how he was raised. I just had a feeling with him at Winthrop and the experience under Chris Mack and Skip Prosser, I just think he has been brought up in the right situation and it is a no brainer for the kid."
This is the third commitment for Winthrop in the 2013 class joining Ohio natives Josh Davenport and Keon Johnson.

Ira Frederick Aldridge was born on July 24, 1807 in New York City to Reverend Daniel and Luranah Aldridge who were "free Negroes." According to Aldridge, his paternal grandfather was a Christian chief of the Fula in Senegal in Western Africa.
At age 13, Aldridge went to the African Free School in New York City where he won many oratory contests. His early "education" in theater included viewing plays from the high balcony of the Park Theatre, New York's leading theater of the time.
His mother later died in 1818 when Aldridge was 15. When his father remarried, he ran away from home. Aldridge worked on a ship and when it docked in North Carolina, a slave dealer offered to buy him for $500. The captain refused the offer and Aldridge returned to New York City to work backstage at the Chatham Theatre, where he received acting experience.
Aldridge's first professional acting experience was in the early 1820s with the company associated with the African Grove, the first theatre in the United States to cater to and was managed by African Americans. He debuted as Rolla in 'Pizzaro' the Richard Brinsley Sheridan adaptation of August von Kotzebue's play, 'Die Spanier.' He went on to play Shakespeare's Romeo and later became a notable Hamlet.
Longing to take on major roles, he was confronted with the persistent discrimination which black actors endured in the United States. His solution was to emigrate to England. Upon his arrival in 1824, he first worked as a dresser to the British actor Henry Wallack.
On October 10, 1825, he debuted as the first black actor at London's Royal Coburg Theatre (now known as the Old Vic) playing the role of 'Prince Oroonoko of Africa' sold into slavery in melodrama "The Revolt of Surinam, or A Slave's Revenge". His performance had a mixed reception – the "London Times" claimed that it was utterly impossible for him to pronounce English properly "owing to the shape of his lips." The "London Globe", on the other hand, found his enunciation "distinct and sonorous." Purely because of his color, the press was largely hostile, which prevented him from establishing himself in London.
However, according to the scholar Shane White, the English population had heard of the African Theatre because the well known British actor and comedian Charles Mathews; in the one man shows he developed made up of a variety of parts, one piece, "The African Tragedian," he added while touring in America after he saw the African American actor James Hewlett perform. So, Aldridge associated himself with that.
Bernth Lindfors says, "[W]hen Aldridge starts appearing on the stage at the Royalty Theatre, he's just called a gentleman of color. But when he moves over to the Royal Coburg, he's advertised in the first playbill as the American Tragedian from the African Theater New York City. The second playbill refers to him as 'The African Tragedian.' So everybody goes to the theater expecting to laugh because this is the man they think Mathews saw in New York City." In his performances, he used his skill to reverse what was expected.
Aldridge performed scenes from 'Othello' that stunned reviewers. One critic wrote, "In 'Othello' (Aldridge) delivers the most difficult passages with a degree of correctness that surprises the beholder." The Hull, an England newspaper said his Othello "was such as can be equaled by very few actors of the present day." His contemporaries praised his work.
For the next 27 years, Aldridge honed his craft, traveling and touring theatre circuits in provinces of the British Isles as a star of about sixty roles in melodrama, romantic drama, operetta, comedy and Shakespeare.
Outside London, Aldridge continued to win respect. In the provinces, he played to crowded houses, but was boycotted by the West End Stage (England's professional theatre circuit).
Soon after going to England, in 1824 Aldridge married Margaret Gill. They were married for 40 years before her death in 1864.
He gradually progressed to larger roles; by 1825, he had top billing at London's Coburg Theatre as Oronoko in 'A Slave's Revenge', soon to be followed by the role of Gambia in 'The Slave' and the title role of Shakespeare's 'Othello'. He also played major roles in plays such as 'The Castle Spectre' and 'The Padlock', and played several roles of specifically white characters, including Captain Dirk Hatteraick and Bertram in Rev. R. C. Maturin's 'Bertram', the title role in Shakespeare's 'Richard III', and Shylock in 'The Merchant of Venice'.
In 1831, he successfully played in Dublin; several locations in southern Ireland, where he created a sensation in the small towns; as well as in Bath, and Edinburgh, Scotland. The actor Edmund Kean praised his Othello; some took him to task for taking liberties with the text, while others attacked his race.
In 1833, he made a highly successful debut in London when he replaced Edmund Kean as Othello at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. Since he was an American black actor from the African Theater, the 'Times' called him the "African Roscius" after the great Roman comic actor. Aldridge used this to his benefit and expanded African references in his biography that appeared in playbills as he made triumphant tours of Europe in several Shakespearean roles, including Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth.
Aldridge first toured to continental Europe in 1852, with successes in Germany, where he was presented to the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, performed for Frederick William IV of Prussia, and performed in Budapest.
He returned from his European tours after receiving so many honors that the West End stage could no longer exclude him.
After 1853, he played mostly on the European continent, receiving honors from the Emperor of Austria and other heads of state in Switzerland, Prussia, and Russia, among others.
In 1858 he became the first actor to be knighted when he was bestowed the Royal Ernestinischen House Order by Duke Bernhard of Saxe-Meiningen, becoming Chevalier Ira Aldridge, Knight of Saxony.
At last deemed worthy to perform at London's Lyceum Theatre, he performed "Othello" in Russia and was lionized, earning more money than any Russian actor. One Russian critic said that the evenings on which he saw "Aldridge's 'Othello', 'King Lear', 'Shylock' and 'Macbeth' were undoubtedly the best I have ever spent in the theatre".
Honored as African prince and German baron, he remained a man of the people. At the close of many of his performances, he would play the guitar and sing an anti-slavery song appealing to audiences for "respect for his African race". England's Anti-Slavery Society referred to his presence on stage as a significant contribution to the struggle for abolition. With his wealth he contributed to fund-raising campaigns of Negro State Conventions prior to Emancipation.
An 1858 tour took him to Serbia and to Imperial Russia, where he became acquainted with Leo Tolstoy, Mikhail Shchepkin and the Ukrainian poet and artist Taras Shevchenko, who did his portrait in pastel. Aldridge mastered Russian well enough to perform roles in that language. He was the first American actor to perform in Russia.
After another tour of the British provinces in 1859 to 1860, he went to Russia again.
From 1861 to 1866, he embarked on a lengthy tour, visiting many places no foreign actor had ever been. Now of an appropriate age, about this time, he played the title role of King Lear in England for the first time. He purchased some property in England, toured Russia again in 1862 and was granted British citizenship in 1863. At one point, he studied at the University of Glasgow in Scotland.
A year after Margaret's death, on April 20, 1865, Aldridge married his mistress, the self-styled Swedish countess Amanda von Brandt, with whom he already had a son, Ira Daniel. They had four more children: Irene Luranah, Ira Frederick and Amanda Aldridge, who all went on to musical careers, the two girls as opera singers. Their daughter Rachael was born shortly after Aldridge's death and died in infancy.
- Ira Daniel Aldridge, 1847 – unknown. Teacher. Migrated to Australia in 1867.
- Irene Luranah Pauline Aldridge, 1860–1932. Opera singer.
- Ira Frederick Olaff Aldridge, 1862 – unknown. Musician and composer.
- Amanda Christina Elizabeth Aldridge (Amanda Ira Aldridge), 1866–1956. Opera singer, teacher and composer under name of Montague Ring.
- Rachael Margaret Frederika Aldridge, 1867, died in infancy.
Aldridge spent most of his final years with his family in Russia and continental Europe, interspersed with occasional visits to England. He planned to return to the post-Civil War United States, but he died at the age of 59 in August 1867 while on tour visiting Poland. The whole town turned out to mourn his passing, and he was buried with State Honors. His tomb is now a national shrine that is cared for by Society of Polish Artists of the film and Theatre.
The American born English tragedian is considered one of the greatest interpreters of his day. He is the only actor of African-American descent among the 33 actors of the English stage honored with bronze plaques at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon.
Other awards received for his art from European heads of state and governments include:
- Prussian Gold Medal for Arts and Sciences from King Frederick William III,
- the Golden Cross of Leopold from the Czar of Russia, and
- the Maltese Cross from Berne, Switzerland.
In 2002, scholar Molefi Kete Asante listed Ira Aldridge on his 100 Greatest African Americans.

Few systematic reviews containing meta-analyses are complete without a forest plot. But what are forest plots, and where did they come from?
Summary points
Forest plots show the information from the individual studies that went into the meta-analysis at a glance
They show the amount of variation between the studies and an estimate of the overall result
Forest plots, in various forms, have been published for about 20 years
During this time, they have been improved, but it is still not easy to draw them in most standard computer packages
What is a forest plot?
In a typical forest plot, the results of component studies are shown as squares centred on the point estimate of the result of each study. A horizontal line runs through the square to show its confidence interval—usually, but not always, a 95% confidence interval. The overall estimate from the meta-analysis and its confidence interval are put at the bottom, represented as a diamond. The centre of the diamond …

Liquor store owners and local breweries toasted legislation Rep. Debra Heffernan unveiled Thursday that could have craft beer drinkers raising a pint in celebration.
Flanked by liquor store and Delaware craft brewery owners at Peco's Liquor Store in Wilmington, Rep. Heffernan introduced a proposal to allow Delaware liquor stores to fill and sell growlers of draught beer on site. A growler is a glass or ceramic jug filled with draught beer, typically sold in a 64-ounce (half gallon) size. Currently, craft breweries can only sell growlers at their breweries or brewpub. Neighboring states Pennsylvania and New Jersey already allow liquor stores to sell growlers, while Maryland's law is done on county-by-county basis.
Breweries often produce draught beer varieties that are only available at their brewery or brewpub, which limits craft beer drinkers' ability to purchase certain varieties. By allowing liquor stores to sell growlers, Rep. Heffernan said that Delaware's small craft breweries would be able to expand their market and reach more customers, while liquor stores would be able to compete with stores in neighboring states.
The craft beer industry exploded during the past 20 years, with the number of breweries operating in the U.S. mushrooming from about 300 in 1990 to more than 2,100 as of June 2012, with 2,075 being defined as craft breweries, according to the Brewers Association. The number of craft breweries has grown from 1,749 in 2010 to 2,126 last year.
Additionally, the craft brewing industry grew 13 percent by volume and 15 percent by dollars in 2011, while overall beer sales in 2011 were down 1.3 percent by volume. Sales increased by an additional 12 percent by volume and 14 percent by dollars in the first half of 2012, according to the Brewers Association. The Delaware Brewers Guild estimates that state craft brewers produced about 250,000 barrels of beer last year.
Greenville Brewery Twin Lakes Brewing has been crafting ales, stouts and lager beers since 2006. While the company sells growlers at its Kennett Pike Brewery, co-founder and CEO Samuel Hobbs said that Rep. Heffernan's bill would open new doors to the company.
Under House Bill 31, liquor stores could purchase a growler filler permit for $150 every two years, allowing them to fill, cap and sell growlers to go.
According to the Brewers Association, craft brewers and brewpubs provide more than 100,000 jobs in the U.S. Delaware ranks 10th in the nation for capita per brewery with nine breweries operating throughout all three counties.
Liquor store owners and craft breweries throughout the state have indicated their support of the legislation.
HB 31 has been assigned to the House Economic Development, Banking, Insurance & Commerce Committee.

text: American Revolutions Share The United States History Cycle THE PROGRAM American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle is OSF's ten-year program (2008-2017) of commissioning up to 37 new plays sprung from moments of change in United States history. Bringing together artists, historians, and institutions from around the country and mirroring the scope and scale of Shakespeare's history plays, American Revolutions is the largest commissioning and production project in OSF's history. Theater contributes to vision, to conversation, to commitment, to belief, to action and must actively participate in the life of our country. These truths animate OSF's American Revolutions goals and create value for our participating artists, our fieldwide collaborators and our audiences. Of the twenty-one American Revolutions commissions to date, six have been produced or are scheduled for production. THE SUCCESS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTIONS TIES BACK TO THE FOLLOWING FOUNDING PRINCIPLES The best plays come from giving playwrights full freedom to follow their artistic passions. OSF asks that each play be based in history and explore a moment of change. Beyond that, the playwrights choose the content, form, and style of their work. Over time, the Cycle's variety of voices and visions will create a meaningful and artist-curated portrait of our country's history. The best plays come from supporting playwrights toward the fullest realization of their inspiration. We have no set map for development and respond to the needs of the individual plays and playwrights. Artists are invited to participate in the Black Swan Lab or to simply come to beautiful Ashland as a writing retreat. We provide for readings and workshops here or with partnering theaters and development centers. We support playwrights in their research-related travel, and engage historians as consultants and participants. In addition to play development support, we convene an annual American Conversation among the commissioned artists as an essential component to the program. These gatherings cover such topics as practical advice about resources to far-reaching discussions about who has the right to tell what story. The art of playwriting should not be constrained by limiting cast sizes, nor should the telling of the American story. OSF, with the largest standing acting company in the country, has a responsibility to help create large-cast plays for their continued life in a field that seems increasingly confined to small-cast plays. Many of the great works of dramatic literature were created in the context of acting companies working in repertory: Shakespeare, Molière, Brecht, Chekhov, Lorca, Odets, O'Neill. American Revolutions embraces and celebrates the role of a repertory company in new play development. American Revolutions must work across the field to have a substantive impact on national conversations about our identity and future. As has been true to date, we expect the majority of OSF's future relationships with American Revolutions writers to be co-commissions, with partner theaters chosen by the playwright and with OSF paying the entire commission cost and each theater paying for development that happens within its walls. And, while OSF is happily in partnership with other large regional theaters, we seek to broaden the pool of institutions with which we partner, working closely with smaller to support the costs of large-scale productions. American Revolutions is committed to expanding the reach of these remarkable plays and the program itself. American Revolutions is supported by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Our work has been generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation, The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, Ed McCurtain, The Hobbes Family, Betty and Jack Schafer, Michael and Leslie Schroeder, the Nathan Cummings Foundation and an Edgerton Foundation 2010 New American Plays Award. American Revolutions was launched in 2008 with major funding from The Collins Foundation and The Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.

A week later, a Cleburne County High junior started selling T-shirts from the page, declaring the wearer one of "Ward's Warriors." She sold 47 T-shirts, enough to raise $150 for Ward's family, the teen said.
The teen started selling the T-shirts to let the family know that some people in the community support Ward, she said.
"I made sure before I did anything that they were OK with that," said Hayleigh Braden, who was coached by Ward.
She had her parents' blessings, too.
Her mother, Susan Braden, said the Ward family are her friends. Ward's family has taken over paying his bills and while the T-shirt sale raised just a small amount of money, she thought it might help them, she said.
But the very public support of someone accused of a sex crime can be detrimental to the victims of such a crime and to the investigation, say local officials.
Public expressions of support for Ward have hindered the investigation, said Heflin police Chief A.J. Benefield. It keeps other alleged victims from coming forward, he said, and he doesn't understand it.
"It intimidates your victims," Benefield said. "It's a travesty to the victim in the judicial system."
Jennifer Bivins, president and chief executive officer of the Georgia Network to End Sexual Assault, said it happens all too often.
"Either the victim is blamed or we don't make a big deal about it," Bivins said.
Either way, Bivins said, support for the accused can hinder the victims' recovery, she said. The more support the accused has around him, the harder it is for victims to receive the support they need to heal, Bivins said.
Trace Fleming-Smith, a victim's advocate at 2nd Chance, which serves victims of domestic and sexual violence, said it's a prime example of rape culture, and shows how much work still needs to be done to educate the public about rape.
"They don't believe that there was a crime," Fleming-Smith said. "There's a complete lack of understanding of that law that says that a teacher cannot have sex with a student."
Teachers are authority figures over students, she said. It's not only against the law to take advantage of that position, it's unethical, Fleming-Smith said. Under the law, Chief Benefield said, students cannot consent to sex with a teacher. It's too easy for a teacher to influence the students, he said.
In many cases, people who support those accused of sex crimes don't want to believe the accused could be responsible for such an act, said Laura Palumbo, prevention campaign specialist for the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
"We have a very specific idea of who the monsters are in society," Palumbo said. "People think they would recognize a sexual predator."
But that perception just doesn't hold up in reality. The majority of victims know their abusers, she said. According to a report released by the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center examining rapes in Alabama from 1999 to 2003, only 10 percent of victims didn't know their attacker.
Fleming-Smith said perpetrators of sex crimes are able to commit the crimes because they're generally likeable and can gain the trust of victims and victims' families.
The Bradens said they understand that Ward confessed to having sex with the students. Hayleigh's father, Larry Braden, said he went to a hearing on a motion to reduce Ward's $200,000 cash bond and saw Ward's taped statement to police in which he admitted having sex with two of his students. He remains in the Cleburne County Jail. No trial date has been set.
"We agree that he had some bad judgment," said Susan Braden.
But, Larry Braden said, he believes the case is a "witch hunt."
Benefield said he understands Ward hasn't been convicted of the charges. But, he added, victims have rights, too — the right not to be intimidated at school or work because they have reported a crime.
It's unfortunate, Palumbo said, that such arrests don't motivate more questioning about how this was able to happen instead of how the accused could have been arrested.
Cleburne County Schools Superintendent Claire Dryden said by email the T-shirts supporting Ward have been banned from the high school.
"The Cleburne County Board of Education has the responsibility to maintain an appropriate atmosphere conducive to learning," Dryden wrote. "It is our duty to remain neutral in this controversial situation which could create a hostile and or offensive learning environment."
Hayleigh Braden said she didn't understand it. Students aren't even allowed to talk about Ward at school.
"He was everybody's favorite teacher," she said. "It's been hard on a lot of people at school because they miss him."

Protecting the constitutional rights of someone facing the death penalty is a complex and compelling challenge. The Center for Justice in Capital Cases creates a higher standard of practice in the capital arena through vigorous advocacy and investigation, cutting-edge work in the social sciences, and a client-centered philosophy. By striving to safeguard the rights of indigent capital defendants, the Center hopes to reform the administration of criminal justice one life at a time.
Founded in 2000, the Center for Justice in Capital Cases is a resource for capital defense attorneys nationwide. It provides training for attorneys appointed to defend individuals charged with a capital crime and serves as a training ground for students interested in working on capital cases. The Center's death penalty legal clinic gives students an opportunity to acquire outstanding real-world experience through such responsibilities as researching cases, locating and interviewing witnesses, and writing motions.
Student Training
In addition to providing continuing legal education for attorneys, the Center provides DePaul College of Law students with hands-on experience in death penalty cases. Because the Center's director and associate director maintain an active practice in capital cases, CJCC is able to give its second-and third-year law students the opportunity to work on discrete aspects of their cases. The students receive academic and clinical credit and a unique and invaluable educational experience.
Professional Seminars
The Center for Justice in Capital Cases is a resource for capital defense attorneys, defense investigators and mitigation specialist is nationwide. The Center organizes and presents seminars in Chicago and elsewhere that feature nationally-recognized authorities in areas such as trial and mitigation investigation, jury decision-making and selection, lawyer stress in the capital defense arena, and forensic pathology.
The Center houses the Clarence Darrow Death Penalty Defense College, an intensive, 5-day capital defense advocacy college. This runs concurrently with the Mitigation Training Program, a bring-your-own-case training seminar for mitigation specialists.
Many of these programs have been certified by the Illinois Supreme Court Capital Committee and have attracted a national audience.
The Center also co-sponsors an annual death penalty seminar with the Office of the Illinois State Appellate Defender.
Manuals & Model Pleadings
The Center also has developed and produced manuals and model pleadings for lawyers defending death penalty cases.

Thanks. for any help.
Actually they do work in liveview.

Fans who claim to watch basketball voted Dwight Howard to be a starter for the 2013 All-Star basketball game.
In fact, Kobe Bryant is joining Howard in Houston next month ensuring two Los Angeles Lakers players from a 17-23 team headed nowhere this season will headline the "best of the west."
Let that marinate in your mind for a second.
There were a lot of untruths revealed in the sports world last week, namely that Lance-a-lotta-lies Armstrong was indeed a serial doper despite his 13-year denial tour that ended with a seat next to Oprah. Notre Dame standout Manti Te'o admitted he never physically laid eyes on his fake girlfriend that he once told ESPN reporter Gene Wojciechowski was the "most beautiful girl I'd ever met."
But the most bothersome lie for me is also the most insignificant one revealed during last week's storm of fallen hero worship. NBA fans, Howard is no all-star starter this year point blank and the period with an extra exclamation point.
It's disappointing when sports fans are lied to, but it's disturbing when sports fans are perpetuating the lie themselves.
The Lakers are the most underachieving team in the NBA this season and Howard played his role.
In fairness, it's not all Howard's fault. He's been fighting through a bad back and a bad passer (ahem, Kobe Bryant) and hasn't gotten enough touches on the ball as he'd probably like. And at times, he's looked lackluster and frustrated as evidenced by his 1-of-3 shooting and two rebounds before he was ejected during the second quarter of yet another head-scratching Lakers loss Sunday.
Long-term, Howard is the best big man in the NBA. But not this year.
"Dwight Howard has not had an All-Star season this year. I disagree with that selection," TNT analyst Charles Barkley said Thursday when the NBA All-Star roster was unveiled. "Zach Randolph has been fantastic. Marc Gasol has been fantastic. Tim Duncan has had a better season than Dwight Howard."
So why were thousands of people selling this lie that Howard deserved a spot as an all-star starter this year? Easy answer. The same reason almost enough people were ready to buy into the lie that Jeremy Lin and his consistently inconsistent game deserved an all-star start over Chris Paul. It's also the same reason journalists and fans were willing to buy the lie that a man could win seven Tour de France titles without a little medical assistance and willing to buy the lie that a nice, young man could actually entertain a three-year relationship with a girl he never once visited on her death bed. No need to check for an obituary, Te'o and his dad told us the heartbreaking story so that was enough to make it true.
We love our sports stars, and complicating their stories with uncomfortable facts disrupts the fantasy. After all, sports are supposed to be our escape from reality.
I am a journalist, but I was a sports fan first. And I love the human interest stories that give insight into brave men and women like Jackie Robinson, Jesse Owens or Billie Jean King who show the strength of the human spirit against all odds.
But I'm not willing to believe or sell a lie to fit some box. Great athletes can have down years or be fiercely competitive jerks or they can be socially awkward off the field.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Joe Paterno's death. His lifetime of outstanding work for the Penn State community was tarnished by an uncomfortable truth he was too willing to overlook for too long about his colleague who happened to be a child predator.
Lies, be them big or small, are termites to the integrity of the games we love. Bit by bit, chuck by chunk, they rob us of enjoying complex and honest stories about people with complex and honest struggles.
This isn't a call for cynicism, but rather a reminder that we all have a social responsibility for what we consume.

Beneath the surface of any problem, if you scrabble a bit, you'll find a secret.
It may take a while—decades perhaps—not for your excavation, mind you, but for your desire to appear; for that childlike curiosity to float up again. Indeed, you may need an actual child to summon it, as I did.
But this is what drives us—the historians, the trash pickers, the gossips, the shrinks. And yes, the readers of books. We're all rooting around, teasing out other people's hidden reasons.
Haven't we all profited from another's heartache? Anything... see more
Reading Group Guide
Every family has its secrets. But when you are the last survivor tending to the dark fires of memory, and your own mind is fading, who do you share them with? Your diary or your eight-year-old granddaughter? Or do you simply let them fade away, along with your memory?
The Bird House is a moving story of secrets, lies, and relationships. It is a close look at the hardship and heartbreak that one woman can withstand during a lifetime. As an elderly woman, Ann Biddle is struggling to both remember and come to terms with the life she has led. It is through her young, but wise granddaughter, Ellie, that Ann finds a way to deal with her past and finally reveal the secrets that have come to taint the present.
1. Ann reveals within the first chapter that her memory is failing. How did this confession affect your reading? Was Ann an unreliable narrator? Explain your answer.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — After a long run as a perennial power in Class B, Lincoln Pius X coach Jake Moore said his team is relishing playing the underdog role in the Class A state tournament.
The No. 8 Thunderbolts certainly looked right at home in Class A on Thursday, avenging an earlier defeat this season with a 25-17, 25-23, 23-25, 25-21 victory over No. 6 Lincoln Southeast in first-round state tournament action at the Heartland Events Center.
"It's huge for us and huge for our program because we've been in Class B for the last 20 years," Moore said. "We thought we belonged (in Class A) all year, but we hadn't won a match against any of the Class A teams that were actually in the state tournament, so this is huge for us."
Huge, but not surprising, Moore said. For Pius (28-11) — winners of the Class B state championships in 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011 — it marks the program's 10th consecutive appearance in the state semifinals.
"At Pius, we're not ever surprised because we talk about tradition and it doesn't matter that we graduated six fabulous seniors last year," Moore said. "For the girls who came back, this was there goal. They were going to continue the tradition on — no matter what class."
Kristy Wieser (16 kills), Ashley Witt (14) and Kennedy Hegert (10) led the Pius attack. Anne Bachmann had 17 assists, Sara Boothe had 15 assists and Maggie Kopf finished with 14 digs for the Thunderbolts, who were swept 3-0 by Southeast on Sept. 29 in the Lincoln Northeast Invitational.
"We were ugly," Moore said of his team's previous performance against the Knights. "So there was a lot of redemption today."
Pius spent eight days preparing exclusively for Southeast. The Thunderbolts installed a completely new defense, switching from what Moore described as a "perimeter" to a "rotation" scheme.
Southeast (27-9) got 14 kills from Taylor Lewis, 12 kills from Sydney Taylor and 11 kills from Kinslie TeKolste. Kylee Wurster added a match-high 38 assists and Dani Kostal led the Knights with 18 digs.
"The nerves got the best of us here, plain and simple," said Southeast coach Annie Rice-Healey, whose team hit .184. "At a level like this and playing against a team like Pius, you can't give them any points and we gave them those first two sets. It's hard to come back from a 2-0 deficit."
Pius advanced to face second-rated Omaha Marian (37-4) in Friday's 11 a.m. semifinal at the Heartland Events Center. The Thunderbolts are 0-3 against the Crusaders this season — a fact Moore said should have his team playing loose on Friday.
"We're the new kids on the block," Moore said. "We're going to take whatever we can get. Hopefully, as you saw today, we have a whole lot of fight in us.
"We haven't been the underdog in umpteen years and we talked about it today when we practiced: We're the underdog and we have nothing to lose."

track coaches
could anyone give me some name of some track coaches in the atlanta, georgia area that are good at coaching the 400m.
Re: track coaches
That would depend on the competitive level of the person seaking coaching. At the collegiate and elite level there's Grover Hinsdale at Georgia Tech (has coached the last 2 400m hurdle Olympic champions and many Collegiate All-Americas) and probably Loren Segrave (has a private coaching group- former LSU coach).
At the youth/high school level the best bet is likely http://www.quicksilvertrackclub.com/
Marietta HS?
Atlantan, who coaches Marietta HS? He must be doing something right. They've won a couple of state titles the last few years. Jonathan Fortenberry of South Carolina is a Marietta alum, I believe. Plus, that Marietta track is the nicest HS track I've ever seen. It is nicer than most college tracks. Mondo, all the bells and whistles and even a steeplechase pit. They really went all out with their new school.
Re: Marietta HS?
did "they" go all-out, or is this one of the legacies of the Olympics?
Re: Marietta HS?
They went all out . All the Oly tracks are in downtown/Midtown. Marietta HS is in the 'burbs.
Re: Marietta HS?
That's right. Olympics had nothing to do with it. I think it was an ego thing for Marietta City Schools system. MHS is the only Marietta City Schools-run high school in Cobb County. All the other high schools in the county are run by Cobb County Schools. So they went nuts with the new MHS. Plus Marietta is a very proud city -- right next to Atlanta but with its own identity. They couldn't give a crap about Atlanta. Also, there were no Olympic events in Cobb County because of the gay thing.
The track is not the only facility at MHS that is first class. All the other facilities are just as nice. The school itself is gorgeous, state-of-the-art. The whole complex topped $60 million.
Anyhow, is the coach at MHS a good one, Atlantan?
Re: Marietta HS?
I basically don't follow HS track so I don't know how good most coaches are. Only if someone has produced lots of college recruits over a fairly long period of time do I know about them and even then my knowledge is pretty thin. The QuickSilver coaches are related to SW Dekalb and have produced a ton of kids and the Wheeler coaches have consistently produced top notch recruits.

At Fermilab, a robust scientific program pushes forward on three interrelated frontiers. The Venn diagrams below illustrate the interlocking framework of those frontiers. Each frontier has a unique approach to making discoveries, and all three are essential to answering key questions about the laws of nature and the cosmos. Some questions can only be addressed by experiments at one frontier, but others require investigation on multiple fronts to create a complete picture.
Energy Frontier
At the Energy Frontier, scientists build advanced particle accelerators to explore the fundamental constituents and architecture of the universe. There they expect to encounter new phenomena not seen since the immediate aftermath of the big bang. Subatomic collisions at the energy frontier will produce particles that signal these new phenomena, from the origin of mass to the existence of extra dimensions.
Intensity Frontier
At the Intensity Frontier, scientists use accelerators to create intense beams of trillions of particles for neutrino experiments and measurements of ultra-rare processes in nature. Measurements of the mass and other properties of the neutrinos are key to the understanding of new physics beyond today's models and have critical implications for the evolution of the universe. Precise observations of rare processes provide a way to explore high energies, providing an alternate, powerful window to the nature of fundamental interactions.
Cosmic Frontier
At the Cosmic Frontier, astrophysicists use the cosmos as a laboratory to investigate the fundamental laws of physics from a perspective that complements experiments at particle accelerators. Thus far, astrophysical observations, including the bending of light known as gravitational lensing and the properties of supernovae, reveal a universe consisting mostly of dark matter and dark energy. A combination of underground experiments and telescopes, both ground- and space-based, will explore these mysterious dark phenomena that constitute 95 percent of the universe.
These scientific frontiers form an interlocking framework that addresses fundamental questions about the laws of nature and the cosmos.

Access and benefit-sharing (ABS) is an emerging policy area, promoting the fair and equitable access to genetic resources, and the sharing of the benefits derived from their utilization. This policy paper is a part of a broader task related to genetic resources given to the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Working group on ABS (FPTWGABS) by Federal/Provincial/Territorial (F/P/T) Ministers of Forests, Wildlife, Endangered Species and Fisheries and Aquaculture, in September 2004.
The paper identifies the parameters of ABS as a policy issue by identifying its key policy components. It translates some of the key principles contained in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), such as "the transfer of accountability for genetic resources to the Sovereign State", into concrete issues that need to be considered from a Federal/ Provincial/Territorial approach. It explores the connections with other relevant and key Federal/Provincial/Territorial policy issues and sectors, such as the contribution ABS can make to economic development through the bio-based economy, its role in fostering sustainable development strategies, and its relationship with the patent system. It also proposes a set of principles that will guide the ABS policy development process at all levels.
Building on the draft Scoping Paper on ABS presented to Deputy Ministers in June 2005, this paper takes a more focussed approach as a concrete way to move the ABS policy exercise to a second stage. The policy analysis contained in the present paper, read in conjunction with the key elements of the ABS Policies in Canada: Engagement Strategy, will contribute to developing a targeted approach to ABS policy development. Together, they provide direction for fully engaging relevant stakeholders and for shaping the many questions to be answered by jurisdictions in this emerging policy area.
Future discussion and analysis on ABS, and the further elaboration of ABS policies in Canada, could be usefully framed through consideration of the following:
What relevant policy goals does ABS touch on?
How can ABS contribute to these policy goals?
What are the key policy challenges that arise from the implementation of ABS?
How can those challenges be addressed?
The further elaboration of ABS policies in Canada should consider and take into account the following core principles:
Creative policy work in the area of ABS, based on sound and agreed-upon principles and clear key objectives, will lay the basis of a renewed Canadian commitment to conserve and sustainably use biodiversity and demonstrate the positive impacts of jointly developing innovative policies.

We have been rated Best Fried Chicken in Los Angeles by Jonathon Gold - LA Weekly. We only serve all natural / organic chicken raised without hormones or antibiotics. We have over 1050+ locations in Korea and Shanghi China, with 7 locations in the U.S. 4 location in Southern California and 3 in New York region.
Sweeping contours shelter So Hyang's upscale Korean fare, prepared with an eye towards healthfulness and authenticity. Known collectively as banchan, a set of small plates laden with kimchi, potato salad, and marinated vegetables accompany the entrees like so many ducklings following a man in a duck costume. Forming one of the signature dishes of the Korean peninsula, the seafood and scallions of haemul pajeon are griddled together in a savory pancake. Asian pear adds sweetness to the broth of mul-naengmyeon and the marinade of grilled short ribs, eschewing the need for added sweeteners and pairing well with vinegar or spicy mustard sauce. Vegetarians may request alternative items to munch between sips of sweet, vodka-like soju or soda-like soda. Asian American pop group Far East Movement found So Hyang's sleek atmosphere sufficiently party-friendly to be featured in their video for "Like a G6".
Bann infuses traditional East Asian cuisine with modern culinary adaptations to create an expansive menu that captures the distinct flavors of Korea's diverse tastescape. Masters of Korean comestibles use natural ingredients to prepare dishes in an open kitchen where diners can behold their flame-wielding skills as open nostrils catch the wafting aromas of exotic spices. Additionally, all tables are fitted with smokeless grills so guests can watch their succulent servings sizzle tableside. Doo boo kae nip ($8), an appetizer of bell peppers, soft tofu, and scallions swathed in fresh frocks of sesame leaves is a great launching pad for chew-infused conversations. After premeal noshing, order a juicy kal bi, a boneless beef short rib ($28), or a yang nyum dak, a tender chicken breast stuffed with five organic grains and glazed with honey and chili ($18). Hungry herbivores can enjoy the bi bim bap ($12), a heaping helping of steamed rice decorated with seasoned and marinated veggies to stop tongues from diving taste-buds first into hot woks.
Fusing the taste of the Orient and the American classic, hamburgers. You won't find one like this place anywhere else.
Haus Dessert Boutique's owner, Chris Kim, earned himself the bold moniker "Coffee Hunter" by introducing his award-winning Hawaiian coffee beans to his home country of Korea. The nickname reflects Kim's commitment to coffee, which also comes through at his Korean-themed café, where lattes come topped with artistic foam featuring hearts, leafs, and detailed sipping instructions. In addition to premium, hand-dripped coffee, Haus Dessert Boutique also offers a range of organic tea, in exotic blends such as green tea latte, lychee oolong, and jasmine. Diners can also opt to cool off with an iced tea or smoothie.
A range of handmade desserts provide a sweet pairing to the myriad beverages. The menu's European and Asian influence is easy to see in dishes such as the crème brulee, tiramisu, and a variety of cheesecakes.
Pots of bubbling soup brimming with tofu, veggies, and meats arrive piping hot at tables, beckoning diners to sip and savor. This is So Kong Dong Tofu House, a laid-back Korean eatery that specializes in soon tofu––or soft tofu. The popular soybean product is known for its protein content as well as its chameleon-like properties that allow it to soak up the flavors of what it's cooked with, such as vegetable broth, shrimp, and the tears of onions. In addition to soon tofu dishes, So Kong Dong sates taste buds with barbecue beef ribs, chicken teriyaki, and seafood pancakes.

Ocean Breeze
Luncheon Plates, Set of 4
Ocean Breeze stoneware was inspired by the bands of color as the ocean gets deeper. Three ridges are sculpted into the rim of the dinnerware, each holding a single shade, creating a dramatic evolution of color. The luncheon plate is really a necessary piece to have. Sized between the dinner and salad plates, this size is perfect for a smaller meal, sandwich and chips, or as a charger under a soup bowl. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Set of 4 luncheon plates, each measures 9-1/4 inch diameter.
