Ozy and Millie is a webcomic, created by D. C. Simpson syndicated by North America Syndicate,[1] which debuted in January 1997.[2] The comic was part of Keenspot from 2001 to 2003, going independent for several years[3] before returning to Keenspot in November 2006.[4] It follows the adventures of assorted anthropomorphized animals. New strips were released on most weekdays, though the comic's run ended in 2008.[5] The comic centers on Ozy and Millie, two young foxes attending North Harbordale Elementary School in Seattle, contending with everyday elementary school issues such as tests and bullies, as well as more surreal situations.[6] Although the strip ceased being produced in 2008, it is currently being re-run on GoComics.[7]
The strip concentrates on character interaction, but sometimes veers into commentary based on Simpson's political views. Most of the strips have been reprinted in book form. Five collections were released through Plan 9 Publishing, but they have all gone out of print; currently a complete set of the strip's archives is available through Lulu.com.[8] The strip is listed in the top 200 most read webcomic on The Webcomic List.[9]
Ozy and Millie originally started as a print comic strip in a Washington college newspaper, the Copper Point Journal, in 1997 using ink and brush as drawing implements.[2] Simpson claims to have been influenced by comics and cartoons such as Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, The Simpsons and Pogo.[10] It became an irregular webcomic in early 1998. In June 1998, it became a Monday-Friday daily strip. In the same year, Simpson won a newspaper syndicates' college cartoonist award. When the strip began, Simpson's artistic style was similar to that in Calvin and Hobbes.[11] In 2000, the strip went on hiatus and returned with a new, unique style.[12] The strip also went on hiatus several times. It was once on hiatus for five months, between August 23, 2003 to January 22, 2004.[13] Between January 30, 2004, and January 12, 2009 Simpson also ran another strip, I Drew This, a webcomic specifically about her political views, which also appear in Ozy and Millie.[14][15] In 2002, the strip won the Web Cartoonist's Choice Awards for "Best Anthropomorphic Comic".[16] Ozy and Millie also won the 2006[17] and 2007 Ursa Major Awards for "Best Anthropomorphic Comic Strip".[18][19]

Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn is a ten-year-old fox of an unidentified species (also called an "Adolescent Gray Zen Fox") who attends North Harbordale Elementary School in Seattle, together with his friend Millie. He was originally supposed to be a wolf, until a fan showed Simpson a photo of Arctic fox cubs, that Simpson claimed were "absolute ringers" for Ozy. However, Ozy retained his whisker marks.[20] Ozy's full name, Ozymandias Justin Llewellyn, is a reference to the poem Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley.[21]
Ozy is recognised by his large top hat, which he got from his father Llewellyn when he adopted Ozy.[22] The only other clothing he wears is a vest, which makes him the target of some of Millie's practical jokes. He is adept at letting Millie's pranks pass by without effect, but he does suffer bullying at the hands of the school jock, Jeremy, who likes to stuff Ozy into rubbish bins. Ozy also suffers from annual baldness, usually through either a freak accident or because of Millie. Although it is caused by a gypsy curse (later revealed by Llewellyn to be a myth) which has passed on through Ozy's adoptive father's heritage largely unnoticed, it does affect Ozy badly since he is the first Llewellyn with any hair to lose.[23] Ozy is also quiet and serene, usually playing the "straight person". Under Llewellyn's guidance, Ozy also practices Zen; or rather a humorous version of it.[13]
Ozy is told by Llewellyn that his birth mother's name was Shelley and that she disappeared after discovering perfection when she created the "perfect" ice cream flavor, but since absolute perfection is incompatible with the world, she ascended to a higher plane of existence.
Ozy's father left before he was born and become a monk. The pair met when the monk came to town for a visit, though Ozy decided to stay with Llewellyn, whom he considered his "true" dad.
Millicent Mehitabel Mudd, better known as Millie, is a ten-year-old red fox girl who is Ozy's best friend. Millie is usually seen wearing a set of blue denim overalls. Unlike Ozy, who is calm, Millie is chaotic and manic, both in the destruction she leaves behind and the ways she devises of avoiding work.[21] She is a rebel and is opposed to any form of authority, which regularly leads to confrontations with both her teacher, Ms. Sorkowitz, and her mother, Mililani Mudd. Her destructive and rebellious habits not only get herself into trouble, but Ozy too. Her most infamous antic was giving Ozy a haircut only to accidentally shave off all his fur. Although she is normally manic, she also has a strong sense of justice, facing the inexplicable wrongs of life and the world she sees. However, her rebellions are mostly limited to annoying her mother, playing jokes on Ozy and disrupting the peace at school. None of which matters any less to her, as long as she has fun doing it.[24] Millie says aloud what others think, and does what others, for fear of reaction from the people around them, would not dare. She, like Ozy, often tries to answer the most important questions in life, but her method of finding the answers makes her unique.[13]
Ozy's adoptive father, known only as Llewellyn, is a red dragon. Llewellyn and other members of his dragon family have been responsible for running several secret conspiracies. He also lends both Ozy and Millie advice, although his advice tends to be nonsense. He has also tried to run for U.S. president – first under the "Rainbow Peace Party" in 1968, the "People With Nothing Better To Do" Party in 2000,[25] then under the "Zen Party" in 2004 and 2008.[26] He also runs his house as a separate nation: Greater Llewellynlland.[27] His favourite pastime is playing the "House Rules Parcheesi", a game which has many, very complicated rules, that is claimed to be rather opposite to Calvinball.[28] Llewellyn married Millie's Mother at the end of the Daily Strip. Of all the characters in Ozy and Millie, Simpson has claimed that Llewellyn is her favorite.[10]
Ms. Mudd[edit]
Ms. Mililani Minerva Mudd,[29] Millie's mother, is a lawyer, who is as an older, wiser, more temperate version of Millie. She was like Millie in her childhood, and as a result knows how to deal with any trouble caused by her, much to Millie's annoyance. While Ms. Mudd knows how to deal with Millie, she is also the first to lend her support if there is anything amiss. She married Llewellyn at the end of the strip's run in a storyarc from November–December 2008. Her full name was revealed on October 1, 2008.[21]
Other characters[edit]
Other characters in Ozy and Millie include Avery, a raccoon friend who constantly tries to be "cool," even ditching his "uncool" friends such as Ozy. Ironically, his friend Stephan the aardvark is the nerdiest character in the strip. Avery's younger brother, Timulty, constantly undermines his coolness. The two major antagonists are Felicia the sheep, a "popular girl" who teases Millie for being too individualistic, and Jeremy the jock rabbit who bullies Ozy.[21]
Other minor characters include Ms. Sorkowitz, Ozy and Millie's kangaroo teacher and Principal Beau Vine, the bull principal of the school who allows bullying believing that, "Repeated exposure to unprovoked assault squelches unhealthy nonconformist tendencies."[21] Dr. I. Wahnsinnig (German for insane or mad), is a ring-tailed lemur psychiatrist of the school who fights with Vine over school issues. Ozy's dragon cousin Isolde is another character who, like Llewellyn, is in charge of various conspiracies. Another character is Pirate Captain Locke, a child pirate from an alternate dimension on the other side of Llewellyn's couch, in which people age backwards. Locke, currently the same age as Millie, is also her biological father.[21]
Critic Fred Patten is one of the main supporters of the strip. In 2001, he wrote that the strip was, "a gently humorous fantasy with a liberal political philosophy."[24] In 2006, Patten still claimed that, "Ozy and Millie is one of the top anthropomorphic cartoon strips on the Internet," although he did also comment negatively about the loss of colour in between changes of printed editions of books.[13] The comic is also popular because of its relatively inoffensive content, with one person writing that it was, "Suitable for readers of all ages, really."[30]
Collected editions[edit]
Two series of Ozy and Millie books have been formed, the first of which was discontinued and replaced by the second. Simpson wrote that she would "be condensing the first five books into three that will be larger but cost the same, and making them as comprehensive as I can make them."[8] Editorial cartoonist Ted Rall included six pages of interview illustrated with Ozy and Millie strips in Attitude 3: The New Subversive Online Cartoonists.[31][32]

|MMC Offers Halloween Safety Tips
LEWISBURG, Tenn. – Halloween is an exciting time for young people. To help ensure the night is as safe as possible, Marshall Medical Center offers the following safety guidelines for trick-or-treaters and those enjoying other Halloween festivities:
In addition to safety rules, keeping good nutrition in mind can benefit children and adults alike, according to Dr. William A. See III, D.O., a board-certified pediatrician associated with Family Health Group Pediatrics in Lewisburg.
"Be sure that your children eat a well-balanced meal before heading out on Halloween. They will be less likely to fill up on treats," said Dr. See. "If you are hosting an event, consider offering healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables and cheese as well as low-calorie drinks."

Use weak starter?
I created a seed culture using the grape method, but I think it's still rather weak. I created a firm starter from the culture and it's taken about 12 hours to double. Should I bother using this to make bread, or should I wait until my seed culture is stronger?

Never-Ending Problems with Spin Cycle; sopping wet clothes
By Chris
from Rancho Mirage, CA
I have sat on the sidelines for several years grappling with the spin cycle problem, but finally had to chime in. Like so many others, I was drawn to this unit based on size and the reputation of Whirlpool. It fits perfectly in the space and, when working, is a terrific unit. However, we have had issues with the unit failing to go into a full spin cycle intermittently and have had multiple repairs, out of pocket, to solve the issue. We have replaced the control board but the issue came back just a few months later. I now have a washing machine that consistently delivers me a load of sogging wet clothes because it won't go into a full spin cycle. I want to get it repaired. I would get it repaired but there seems to be no guarantees that the unit will stay repaired. I would like help from Whirlpool to solve the issue. We want to keep the unit but don't know what to do.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very handy and convenient in lake home
By Joanne1957
from Beaverlodge, Alberta Canada
I'm very pleased with this compact washer in our lake home (Park Model trailer) as we can wash small loads and don't require a large capacity machine. Works very well and cleans well on the quick wash which is 30 mins. Very handy to have the countdown time on it as well.
Great Washer

Cleans so good.
Piece of junk with even worse servicing
By Would never buy Whirlpool again
from Vancouver, BC
On top of the issues with the machine I had significant issues with their warranty dept. After the machine stopped draining properly, I called their 1-800 number to find out what the A10 error message was (a very, very common issue with the machine it turns out). Their rep let me know what it was and let me know that I was eligible for extended warranty. The last time their technician came by because of the same draining issue, he told me that their warranties wouldn't cover something like this as it isn't considered a repair. The rep told me that was silly and of course it would as this is why there are warranties. So I signed up for the extended warranty. I then called their certified care department who couldn't reach a technician because, again, technical difficulties. She asked me to call back. Given that I had waited so long to get through, I asked that she call me. When she finally called me to put me through, they told me that there was a 30 day wait period for my extended warranty to be activated. No one had mentioned this. I then let him know why I purchased the extended warranty and he confirmed that the warranty would not cover something like a sock getting sucked through their poorly designed machine to plug up the drainage. I asked why and he said that this was considered maintenance. I was allowed one maintenance call under the life of the contract (which would have been I think four years). However, if, when I called to tell him that it was a maintenance issue, I wold get a discount on the cost vs if they came and it turned out to be a maintenance issue (the sock), they would charge me more. I told him that this was crazy as I'm not a technician so how would I know if it was a sock or something else. Turns out that it is a risk I'm supposed to take. Given all this, I cancelled the policy. It turns out that the pump was broken just one year after purchasing. Really a piece of junk.
Perfect for Condo Living

I live in a condo and it's the best upgrade it took. Easy to use, the right size for condo and energy efficient.
So disappointed in this washing machine
By Murphymon16
from Atlanta
We bought the washer and dryer because the compact size was perfect for our small laundry room. The washer (model WFC7500VW2 and serial number cd31815663) was great initially but then stopped spinning and draining. It sounds like the same problem so many others have reported. Clothes come out clean but soaking wet regardless of the cycle used. We have tried replacing several different parts but none have solved the problem. The control board is the next part to try replacing but that part alone is over $300 so we are now having to decide whether to try another costly repair or to just cut our losses and replace our relatively new washer (and dryer). We did not purchase an extended warranty so repairs are coming out of pocket. Based on all of the reviews citing this same problem, it seems this must be a flaw with the design of the washer. We went with Whirlpool because we thought we were purchasing a well-built, quality product that would last us for years to come. Unfortunately we are regretting our purchase and would not recommend this washer.
Simple and quiet, compact and efficient
By Trex
from Halifax, NS, Canada
I've only been using this machine for a month, but it's super simple to operate, the timer is a great feature to plan your schedule around. The machine is very quiet, compact and energy efficient compared to other products I looked at. So far so good, let's hope it continues.
Worst washing machine ever invented!!
By Very unhappy Whirlpool customer
We have had nothing but problems with the machine not draining, stopping mid-cycle, etc. I've had to call the repair technical a few times. It seems that if you wash anything larger than a pair of pants, it sucks the clothing in and gets clogged, which means having to call a technician. Just recently we started having problems and nothing is stuck so we aren't even sure what to do this point. For shame, Whirlpool, selling such a badly designed machine. If I could give this a 0 rating, I would.

A state of euphoria attained after approximately 2 days of smoking marijuana. The sensation has been described to impact almost instantaneously with no identifiable triggers, but only lasts from about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. It is also described to be much like a very mild body and mental high. Not to get confused with a weed hangover, which is said to be a negative effect, while an after high is usually pleasurable, just like being high.
Dude I smoked like 2 days ago, and then got my after high today at practice while talking to Coach!

NCAA tournament
OT-College basketball dis-parity, east and west
An oddity of this year's NCAA tournament: with New Mexico's loss tonight, the westernmost remaining team is Baylor. Waco is east of the geographical center of the contiguous 48; with 24 teams remaining, the western half of the US has been entirely eliminated.
That's never happened before. Only once in the 62 tournaments played since they went to 16 teams in 1951 has the Sweet Sixteen been without a team west of Texas, in 1985. But UNLV didn't exit the tournament until Sunday of that year, so they were still in at this point.
I don't know what, if anything, to make of this. I'd be more inclined to think it was just a random quirk if some high west coast seeds had been upset, but as it was the PAC-12 could barely scrape together even one tournament-worthy team.
I have a suspicion that the relative lack of exposure of the PAC-12 since their games went to Fox is hurting recruiting there; the MWC has also slid their games onto less exposed networks.
On the other hand you could put together a pretty good team just out of UCLA transfers, so maybe that isn't the whole story.
Thoughts, anyone?
What are you favorite personal NCAA tournament stories?
I have to give credit for the idea of this post to User "ijohnb" and his thread http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/open-work-not-working-tourney-thread but I wanted to create a spin-off and start a different discussion:
What is your favorite personal story relating to the NCAA tournament? It can be anything, no matter how tangentially related to the tournament. Here are my top 2:
(1) Trip to Vegas for the first two rounds of the tournament. That place is insane at tournament time - the games start at 9am and continue into the night. We camped out at Mandalay Bay where they had a huge screen set up and arranged for waitresses to take orders. Oh, and I won a few bucks by betting on Michigan in an NIT game.
(2) Attending a first round game back in 1991 that featured the Richmond Spiders (15 seed) beating Syracuse (2 seed), the first time a #2 had ever beaten a #15. The crowd was going ape-sh-t!
What say you?
Selection Sunday preview and rooting interests
It's a 3 or a 4. Here's how it breaks down.
Unless craziness happens, Baylor and Marquette have 3-seeds locked down. Here are the remaining teams competing for the last two slots. Stats according to CBS. In no particular order:
|Florida State
Remember UConn last year shot up all the way to a 3-seed with their Big East tournament run. Louisville, despite finishing the regular season slow, has the opportunity to do similar here. FSU, if they were to beat Duke and UNC on back to back nights, would have a case for themselves as well. Georgetown's numbers are very similar to Michigan's and both had rather ignominous conference tournament exits. At this point, it seems unlikely that either Indiana or Wisconsin would pass Michigan on the NCAA S-Curve, but crazier things have happened.
Tomorrow you are rooting for North Carolina to crush Florida State and eliminate one of the contenders. It'd be nice if Cincinnati won tonight, but it does not appear that is going to happen, so we're stuck with Louisville for the time being. In the most likely scenario it comes down to Georgetown vs Michigan for the last 3-seed, and we're splitting hairs at that point so it's guess work as to what the selection committee will decide.
Fortunately, there have been a lot of upsets in the mid-major conference tournaments and the overall competitiveness of the 13 and lower seeds has seen a significant drop in the last week.
Here are the teams that are likely to be 13 and 14 seeds (Michigan's likeliest opening round opponents, in no particular order):
|Long Beach St
|New Mexico St
|South Dakota St
Long Beach St would be the worst draw here, and I'm hoping they move up in the S-Curve to a 12 seed or better. They beat Xavier and Pittsburgh and they lost by single digits in road games vs UNC, Kansas and Louisville (i.e. they can play with anyone).
South Dakota St's best wins come over Oral Roberts and Washington. Common opponents they split their season series with Oakland and lost to Minnesota by 16.
Colorado has a bunch of Pac-12 wins and not much else to speak of. They lost OOC to Wichita St, Colorado St, and Maryland. They are not a good team on paper but someone had to win the P12 Tournament!
New Mexico St managed to beat New Mexico on the road and that is it on their list of impressive games.
Belmont is another scary draw. Their wins this year aren't flashy but they took Duke to the wire, losing by 1 point at Cameron. They also lost on the road to Memphis.
Montana has an impressive win streak going but they have played the weakest schedule of this pack of teams. Their best win came over Long Beach St at home.
Ohio who nipped Akron for the MAC title, wouldn't it be fun to draw this team in the first round. What would we chant? Ohio (not THAT ohio) has no real impressive wins to speak of and didn't play a grueling schedule. Their best "win" was a 5 point loss at Louisville back at the start of the season.
Davidson's results read something like, boring boring boring, WTF-beat-Kansas, boring boring boring. They beat Kansas on the road by 6 back in December. Their other 4 games vs respectable tournament quality opponents were all losses.
To recap:
Cackle With Knowing Glee: New Mexico St, South Dakota St, Colorado, Montana, or Ohio
Worry If: Belmont, Davidson, or Long Beach St (or whomever Long Beach Supplants from the 12-line).
Good night and see you after the selection show tomorrow.
TLDR: The three seed is currently a coin flip. We have a really good chance to have a team we should throttle in the opening round.
UM Overtime Goal - "Indisputable Evidence"
After reading all the articles and hearing commentators talk about how "questionable" the UM OT goal was (as there supposedly was "no visual evidence"), I was hoping to put this topic to bed.
So instead of being like a normal 28 year living in Austin and going out and having fun, I decided to play with the pause button on my DVR. Nevertheless, I provide you with indisputable evidence that it WAS a goal -- there is no doubt that there is a white gap between the puck and the goal line (sorry the pic is so gigantic... helps to prove the point i guess)
Go Blue!!

NCAA Hockey Pairwise Set
With North Dakota beating Denver in 2OT to win the WCHA Playoff Championship, the pairwise is set for the NCAA Selection Show tomorrow afternoon.
Miami will be the last #1 seed (joining Yale, North Dakota, and Boston College), as they won their first CCHA Playoff Championship tonight. Michigan finished #5, which means they will be a #2 seed (most likely) in Miami's region. The pairwise does not totally determine the field, it could be adjusted for travel concerns and will be adjusted to avoid intra-conference first round matchups. Also, teams that host regions automatically play in those regions no matter what seed they are.
Selection Show will be tomorrow, 11:30am, ESPNU (I think)
Teams that made the tournament according to USCHO:
Yale, North Dakota ,Boston College, Miami, Michigan, Merrimack, Denver, Union, Minnesota-Duluth, Western Michigan, Notre Dame, Nebraska-Omaha, New Hampshire, Colorado College, Rensselaer, Air Force
Let's assume for the moment Michigan is in Miami's region. If you watched both teams play this weekend, you should be (rightfully so) concerned. Michigan played like garbage Friday night and while winning today against ND, they were outshot by about 20. Miami meanwhile steamrolled ND and took care of WMU to win their first CCHA Playoff title and looked like a championship team doing it. However, that is why they play the games. This senior class has one last shot at that nice gold trophy and to hang a nice white banner at Yost. They certainly have the talent to win it all...but will we see the team we all want to see, or the debacle we watched this weekend?
The only thing to be sure about...there is nothing more nerve wrecking than single elimination hockey...game on
EDIT: http://www.uscho.com/2011/03/19/bracketology-our-final-answer/
USCHO predicts Michigan will be in the St Louis Region
West Regional (St. Louis):
14 Colorado College vs. 3 Boston College
12 Nebraska-Omaha vs. 5 Michigan
I recommend clicking on the link, they do a great breakdown at how they predicted the regions...
OT- St Patty's Day vs Game Day
So the tournament starting on St Patty's day is about as good as it gets. Both are days that are meant to be speant at a bar drinking all day. I only just realized one hicup in my plans.
I planned on getting into my best green St Patty's gear when I realized I also want to support the team (and not that team). Just a heads up to all the folks like me who only think about 5 minutes in advance. Before heading to the bar tomorrow, remember to include some maize and blue amongst all the to St Patty's green to support the team.
EDIT: Others pointed out I am a dumbass and can't read a calendar. Game day on FRIDAY, not to be confused with THURSDAY. Sorry, I was a student during the Ellerbe years and am still relativally new to this whole "having my team in the tournament" thing and jumped the gun.

Choose Outdoors is a non-profit organization located in Pine, Colorado and Washington DC. It was created to help unite the many diverse interests using our public lands with emphasis on promoting and preserving access, use and the future of outdoor recreation on our public lands.
MissionChoose Outdoors provides support for our nation's public lands by promoting outdoor recreation and active lifestyles. We do this through:
• Direct work with agencies and partners to create effective outdoor education, learning, volunteer opportunities, and experiences for people of all ages;
• Work as an advocate in favor of outdoor recreation and bring together the support of industries associated with the outdoors; and
• Support for investment in recreation programs and infrastructure to promote active lifestyles.
For the past 50 years, the House of Representatives has celebrated the arrival of the Christmas season with an official U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree, also known as the Peoples Tree. Installed in Washington D.C. before Thanksgiving, the tree is a symbol of the season a time of year that inspires reflection and gratitude; a time that is especially magical for children. Since 1970, the official tree has been presented to the People by the countrys national forests in partnership with their home states, neighboring communities and community partners. For participating states and forests, the opportunity to provide the tree has generated statewide pride, celebration and civic engagement and education.
Choose Outdoors has been the private sector partner in this great American tradition since 2012, helping to bring the US Capitol Christmas Tree from the White River National Forest in Colorado, the Colville National Forest Washington, the Minnesota, the Chugach National Forest in Alaska and the Payette National Forest in Idaho.
In honor of the International Day of Forests, March 21, 2015, internationally acclaimed brewmeister Finn Knudsen, in cooperation with Choose Outdoors, a national nonprofit focused on enjoyment and appreciation of our public lands, is calling on breweries around the world to develop their own special beer commemorating the importance of sustainable forestry and the world's forests.
As I write this, I can still see smoke and flames from my home. My family and I live just southwest of Denver in the "wilderness urban interface". We have lived here for decades because of our love of Colorado's beauty, but now the yearly "fire watch" causes us pause as we hold our breath in the annual exercise hoping the forest around us doesn't turn to smoke. This week's fire - the Lower North Fork – is now approximately 70% contained – another massive catastrophic Colorado wildfire now claiming at least three human lives, plus 27 homes, over 4,200 acres southwest of Denver in this most beautiful "wilderness urban interface".

Choose Outdoors, a coalition of outdoor recreation interests and a member of The Fire Suppression Funding Solutions Partner Caucus, a diverse set of international, national, tribal, and local organizations interested in sustainable land management on private, tribal, municipal, state, and federal lands, strongly supported the bill and hoped to see it passed through this Congress.

The Emergence of Memory: Conversations with W.G. Sebald (Hardcover)
When German author W. G. Sebald died in a car accident at the age of fifty-seven, the literary world mourned the loss of a writer whose oeuvre it was just beginning to appreciate. Through published interviews with and essays on Sebald, award-winning translator and author Lynne Sharon Schwartz offers a profound portrait of the writer, who has been praised posthumously for his unflinching explorations of historical cruelty, memory, and dislocation.
With contributions from poet, essayist, and translator Charles Simic, New Republic editor Ruth Franklin, Bookworm radio host Michael Silverblatt, and more, The Emergence of Memory offers Sebald's own voice in interviews between 1997 up to a month before his death in 2001. Also included are cogent accounts of almost all of Sebald's books, thematically linked to events in the contributors' own lives.
Contributors include Carole Angier, Joseph Cuomo, Ruth Franklin, Michael Hofmann, Arthur Lubow, Tim Parks, Michael Silverblatt, Charles Simic, and Eleanor Wachtel.

Since Morsi's ouster, Egypt has faced an insurgency in the strategic Sinai Peninsula by Islamic militants, some with al-Qaida links. In the mainland, Morsi's supporters have been staging almost daily street protests in Cairo and other major cities to demand his reinstatement. The protests often end violently, and there have been growing signs that some of the protesters are armed.
The military-backed government has in the meantime been cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood, jailing thousands of members, including most of its top and mid-level leaders. Morsi himself faces four separate trials, mostly on charges that carry the death penalty.
Egypt's media, which is mostly pro-military, has portrayed the referendum results as favorable to el-Sissi and an endorsement of the roadmap he sponsored: a new constitution followed by presidential and parliamentary elections.
"El-Sissi is the solution," screamed the red banner on Sunday's edition of the daily el-Yum el-Sabea. "The joy of the constitution is complete," said the state-owned el-Gumhorya. "Egypt said 'yes,'" said another state-owned paper, Al-Ahram. "A new constitution for a new era," stated the independent el-Masry el-Youm.
What Egyptians voted on last week was a heavily amended version of a charter drafted by Morsi's Islamist allies and adopted in a nationwide referendum in December 2012. The "yes" vote then was about 64 percent, but turnout was a lowly 33 percent. That vote was half-heartedly boycotted by the opposition, and the low turnout then was seen by the anti-Morsi groups as undermining the legitimacy of the charter.
Still, the fact that twice as many 2012 "yes" voters voted "yes" last week is seen by some as insufficient. Ominously, only 16 percent of Egyptians ages 18 to 30 are said to have voted. That is the segment of the population that served as the engine of the 2011 revolution and the big anti-Morsi demonstrations in June and July last year.
"Many seniors and middle-aged Egyptians are promoting stability and realpolitik, and are willing to accept the repressive measures of the authority in return for having a functional state, in comparison to a substantial portion of the younger generation who are still in the mood for revolution," said Mahmoud, the blogger.
Interim President Adly Mansour, in a televised address to the nation on Sunday night, sought to reassure young Egyptians that they will not be sidelined.
"Continue your march and integrate yourselves in political life," he counseled. "Rest assured that what Egyptians — men, women and the elderly — are striving to build with your help is for you and for your sons. You are the future of the nation."

Robert Gates did George W. Bush a big favor when he agreed to serve as his Secretary of Defense replacing Donald Rumsfeld.
Rumsfeld and reality were not always in sync and during Gates' confirmation hearing when asked if the U.S. was winning the war in Iraq, Gates said no.
Secretary Gates also did Barack Obama a huge favor when he agreed to stay on at Defense with the new administration.
Gates has considerable credibility both in the field and on Capitol Hill. So there was no more perfect person to announce significant cuts in weapons programs.
Weapons procurement has turned into a political art form since World War II - in which the wealth of new contracts is spread throughout innumerable congressional districts, thus raising costs while providing jobs no member of Congress will ever vote to kill.
You will soon hear a chorus of shouts from Congress folks who will claim it's a darn good idea, but not in my back yard.

School Board to discuss Benoit lawsuits Tuesday
Published: Monday, November 5, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, November 4, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
School Board members will be briefed Tuesday about lawsuits filed against it by students who allege an Oaklawn Junior High teacher sexually assaulted them.
Board attorney Berwick Duval said the board has filed an answer to that lawsuit, as well as another suit that makes the same claim against Chad Benoit. In both cases, the School Board is denying liability, Duval said.
Tuesday's closed session is simply to update the board on the status of the suits; no action is expected, he said.
The lawsuits stem from Benoit's arrest this summer on drug and sex charges involving more than a dozen of his 13- and 14-year-old female students.
The suits, filed by Houma attorney Mike Samanie on behalf of two alleged victims, claim the School Board was negligent by failing to:
Monitor students for signs of sexual abuse.
Properly investigate reports of employee sexual misconduct.
Have a procedure for students to report improper employee behavior.
Conduct an adequate pre-employment background check.
Train school supervisors to recognize signs of sexual abuse.

First of all, it fits better than the original Motorcraft (or whatever brand) filter was in there. The boost in performance is noticeable. My old filter wasn't really dirty; I just knew I wanted to engine to breathe better, and man does it. Much more effortless torque and acceleration, and the idle is so smooth and quiet now. I would put this filter on a par with changing the oil in your engine and your transmission to really nice synthetic oils, maybe better. My Explorer runs like new.

Long known for its humanitarian and drug-interdiction work throughout Latin America, U.S. Army, South, continues to perform vital missions in Latin America from its home at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.The humanitarian-aid projects the U.S. military continues to conduct in Latin America are as critical today as ever, said LTC Andres Ortegon, a command spokesman.Exercise Fuerzas Aliadas Humanitarias in Honduras helps pave the way for multinational relief following natural disasters, he said, by bringing government and nongovernmental organizations together - before a disaster strikes - to draw up plans.Peacekeeping exercises, such as those in Guatemala and Peru in June and July, respectively, are also a USARSO priority.That's because "there's a growing threat in Latin America," Ortegon said. "Everybody says 'drugs,' but it's drugs and gangs. We believe there are more than 100,000 gang members in Central America, and gangs are said to be cashing in on bounties offered to them by people who smuggle human beings."Add to that the drug trade, fragile governments and poor economies in which many people barely have life's necessities, and the doors are open for coercion and corruption.USARSO works daily to help the people and governments of the Caribbean and Latin America live their lives peacefully by aiding in the improvement of basic infrastructure - by building schools, clinics, wells and community centers, and by conducting medical-readiness exercises that bring doctors, nurses and medicines to villages where people may never have seen a medical professional before, said LTC Gary Robinson, chief of USARSO's Humanitarian & Civic Assistance Division.Some 5,000 U.S. Soldiers rotate through Central America each year, many of them Reserve and National Guard members performing their annual active-duty training. At any given time, about 400 Soldiers are in the region performing a variety of missions.USARSO's Soldiers also help train the soldiers of Latin American nations, in efforts to improve the individual country's stability. And there are platoon exchanges between the U.S. and Central American militaries. In April, for example, 37 Soldiers deployed to El Salvador from the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C., which in turn hosted a platoon of Salvadoran troops.In August 2006 USARSO hosted a conference for senior Latin American noncommissioned officers - one of the ways in which USARSO helps bring NCOs from Central America up to the U.S. NCO standard, as per requests from foreign military officials who have long recognized that NCOs in the U.S. military are given much more responsibility, said USARSO G-3 SGM Jose M. Lopez.The first Latin-American and Caribbean defense forces senior-enlisted conference was held in Texas in 2005, Lopez said.The four-step soldier-exchange process includes a visit by U.S. NCOs to a particular Latin American nation; a reciprocal visit by that nation's NCOs to a U.S. NCO academy; a return trip to Latin America by U.S. NCOs to determine whether the Latin American NCO school is ready to produce top-notch NCOs; and, finally, completion of the NCO training curriculum.At the same time USARSO conducts myriad exercises far from its home station, the command - much like every other command in the Army - is working to transform itself. "We will become a bigger headquarters and will be joint-task-force capable," Ortegon said.When USARSO becomes Sixth Army, it will be able to better provide administrative and logistical support to U.S. forces in Latin America, as well as be able to conduct operations as a joint task force or joint force land component headquarters, he said.

The former director of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk will be the next interim city manager for the City of Pueblo. He was appointed to the position Monday.
Last week, a special session of the Pueblo City Council selected James Munch as one of the two final candidates for the position. He'll take office on June 25.
Munch will serve for about 4 months until a full-time city manager can be found.
The other finalist was Mark Lovin, who is currently the Aviation Director.
Jenny Eickelman is currently serving as interim city manager. The former city manager, Jerry Pacheco, resigned in the wake of a hit-and-run accident.

Perfect! I made this twice now, and one of the times with lite coconut milk. That was a mistake- stick with regular coconut milk. I took some cellophane/pad thai noodles and served the chicken on it. DH and I licked our bowls clean.
Very good and simple. I added a pinch of dried shrimp powder, but the recipe is actually good as is. Thank you.
Loved your recipe as is, my mother made the same thing but I never bothered to learn it. Thanks for sharing it on your web site. I will be making it again. T. Els

Featured image: Giant monsters collide outside the San Diego convention center in the kind of dazzling spectacle you only get to see at Comic-Con
Need to catch up on all the biggest news, videos and photos coming out of San Diego Comic-Con this week? We've got you covered. Check out today's recap below.
The Biggest News
1. The Rock Does Comic-Con
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson returned to Comic-Con by surprising a crowd of thousands with a casual stroll through Hall H, where he shook hands with many of his fans.Then he announced a free secret screening of Hercules, much to the delight of the raucous crowd.
2. Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey Shock Crowd with Interstellar Trailer
Even though they weren't on the schedule, director Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey gave Comic-Con fans a special treat when they snuck in at the end of the Paramount Pictures panel with a brand new trailer for Interstellar, due in theaters on November 7. Nolan said that Stanley Kubrick's 2001 was a big influence on the film, which tracks a group of explorers who jourrney farther into space than ever before. The trailer itself (which may be online in the next week or so) revealed different planets and galaxies while leaving such an emotional impact on its audience that many fans were literally brought to tears.
3. New Image Revealed of Ben Affleck's Batman
This probably speaks for itself. Expect lots more from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (May 6, 2016) at the Warner Bros. panel on Saturday morning.
The Best Costumes
We'll be running costume galleries throughout the week, but we've highlighted our three favorite cosplayers of the day below…
Peabody & Sherman rule!
Fantastic Walking Dead Cosplay
We'll call this one… "A Little Bit of Everything" — featuring Bane, Star-Lord, The Flash and Superman
The Coolest Experience
Ever wonder what it would be like if you were trapped inside a massive tornado with no way to get out? In support of Into the Storm (August 8), Warner Bros. brought an amazing interactive virtual reality set-up to the Comic-Con floor.
Bascially, you sit in a chair, strap on an Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset and within seconds you're transported to a fully immersive animated recreation of one of the film's most intense scenes.
As a couple of characters (including you) hide out from an approaching tornado in a storm drain, your chair shakes and intense winds swirl around you as the vicious storm throws everything it's got at your makeshift hideout.
It's incredible technology that offers viewers a chance to actually become part of the film like never before, and one of a few virtual reality experiences at Comic-Con this year. We can't recommend the experience enough. For more on Into the Storm, watch the trailer below.
Video of the Day
Jack Black was all over downtown San Diego on Thursday promoting the upcoming film Goosebumps (August 7, 2015). Watch what happened when Fandango caught up with the School of Rock star.

Tim Kaine made a big splash in his first appearance as Hillary Clinton's running mate for the White House, savaging Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas as dangerous and wowing a Miami crowd with fluent Spanish. Kaine, a 58-year-old senator from the battleground state of Virginia, won many a cheer and laugh and frequent applause as he addressed a campaign rally late Saturday, one day after being tapped for the Democratic ticket. Clinton beamed as she sat behind Kaine during his rousing speech, after introducing the political veteran as the antithesis of the Republican ticket of Trump and Mike Pence.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan marked a national day of mourning on Sunday, a day after at least 80 people were killed by a suicide bomber attack on a peaceful demonstration. The attack was claimed by the Islamic State group.

Compost Stew: An A to Z Recipe for the Earth (Hardcover)
From apple cores to zinnia heads, readers will discover the best ingredients for a successful compost pile
Kids everywhere are knowledgeable about the environment and climate change. Not only is composting becoming more common in households and residential gardens, but many school gardens feature compost piles, too. But how do you start a compost pile? What's safe to include? Perfect for an Earth Day focus or year-round reference, this inviting book provides all the answers for kids and families looking for simple, child-friendly ways to help the planet.
About the Author
Ashley Wolff is the author/illustrator of more than sixty books for children, including "Block City" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "Baby Beluga" by Raffi, the modern-classic Miss Bindergarten series by Joseph Slate, and her own celebrated "Baby Bear Sees Blue" and "Baby Bear Counts One". She lives in San Francisco and Vermont with her husband and their border collie, Tula. Visit her at AshleyWolff.com.
Praise For…
Review, CM Magazine, October 15, 2010:
"An imaginative and engaging introduction to the concept of composting."
Review, Through the Looking Glass, June 1, 2010:
"This wonderful rhyming picture book will show children how easy, and how fun, composting can be."
Review, San Francisco Chronicle:
"Bouncy rhymes and busy collage art zip along as everything from apple cores to zinnia heads gets tossed into a rich and rotting soil-bound mix. A potentially heavy-handed message is delivered with a light touch so that you want to start your own waste heap right away. Mission accomplished!"
Review, Washington Post:
"When it comes to promoting environmentalism, there's no harm in starting young....Ashley Wolff's collage-style illustrations, made from newspaper, tea bags and other recycled materials, echo writer Mary McKenna Siddals's message of reducing waste."
Review, Booklist:
"This title highlights a subject rarely covered in youth books and provides a lighthearted introduction to an earth- and kid-friendly activity. The brightly patterned collage artwork featuring a cast of multicultural kids working together will easily draw a young audience."
Compost Stew is beautiful, poetic, evocative—and educational. It provides such vital, important information for children (and adults) to understand and embrace, and to put into practice! This book greatly respects its readers, and I hope it will become as widely read and popular as it deserves.
–Mollie Katzen, author of Moosewood Cookbook and Pretend Soup

George Hill, Harrison Barnes are case studies for NBA concussion policy
The Pacers' George Hill and Warriors' Harrison Barnes being pulled off the floor with concussion symptoms is a good sign for the NBA's policy on brain injuries.
In the span of two days, the NBA had two pretty important case studies for its new concussion policy. By all indications, it's working.
First, Pacers guard George Hill received a blow to the head in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night. Having exhibited no concussion symptoms at the time, Hill finished the game and led the Pacers to a victory that put them on the brink of advancing to the conference finals. But he began experiencing headaches the next day, and after failing his concussion baseline test, Hill missed a potentially series-clinching Game 5 in New York on Thursday night. He was listed as doubtful for Game 6, before being cleared shortly before tipoff Saturday.
Then, with the Warriors facing elimination in Game 6 of their second-round series against San Antonio on Thursday night, Harrison Barnes took a hard fall and had to come out of the game to receive stitches to his head. Barnes initially passed a concussion baseline test and returned to the game, but began experiencing headaches and was removed from play -- even though he'd passed the concussion test. The Warriors lost, and their season is over.
This is bad for the Pacers and the Warriors but great for the heightened awareness of and more sensible treatment for head injuries in a sport where they occur more frequently than anybody realized. There are no helmets or shoulder pads in the NBA, but with the ever-increasing size, strength and speed of the athletes, that's all the more reason to be cautious and responsible when it comes to head injuries. As the sports world has learned all too well with the NFL, repeated and untreated blows to the head can result in devastating, debilitating consequences.
There is no perfect concussion policy, and no perfect way to enforce it -- or to ensure that teams adhere to the guidelines in the heat of battle. It's so easy for the short-term gain of a playoff win to outweigh the long-term health of the athlete. But as these two incidents show, 48 hours apart in the heat of the NBA playoffs, the steps the league has taken to protect the health of its players when it comes to head injuries is to be applauded.
Under the NBA's concussion policy, adopted 18 months ago, every player and coach receives concussion education before each season. Every player also completes a baseline brain evaluation based on neurological and cognitive assessments.
If a player is suspected of having a concussion or exhibits concussion symptoms, he will be removed from competition to be evaluated by the medical staff. Once a player is diagnosed with a concussion, his physical exertion will be as limited as possible while experiencing symptoms.
Once the player has been removed from physical activity, he can only return once he is symptom-free at rest and has no "appreciable difference" in his baseline testing for his computerized cognitive assessment, according to the NBA's concussion policy. There also is a return-to-competition "exertion protocol" that a player must pass step-by-step before returning to play. Generally, this involves a gradual increase in physical exertion, with the concussed player having to be symptom-free to advance to the next step.
The final decision on returning the concussed player to competition is made by the team physician, in consultation with Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher, the director of the NBA's concussion program. The timeframe for completing the protocol could vary from player to player.
Is it perfect and error-proof? Are we guaranteed that no NBA player will compete on the floor while experiencing symptoms of a concussion? No, not at all. There is no perfect way to combat brain injury in contact sports, only precautions, well-defined protocols and awareness.
But the fact that two teams fighting for their playoff lives this week pulled key players off the floor following head injuries is a strong sign of progress. If a player's future brain function and long-term health are at stake, our Fantasy teams and rooting interests can and should take a back seat. Frankly, it's encouraging that it's actually happening that way.
