A Short History of Nearly Everythingby Bill Bryson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This new edition of the acclaimed bestseller is lavishly illustrated to convey, in pictures as in words, Bill Bryson's exciting, informative journey into the world of science.
In A Short History of Nearly Everything, the bestselling author of One Summer, confronts his greatest challenge yet: to understand—and, if possible, answer—the oldest, biggest questions we have posed about the universe and ourselves. Taking as his territory everything from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization, Bryson seeks to understand how we got from there being nothing at all to there being us. The result is a sometimes profound, sometimes funny, and always supremely clear and entertaining adventure in the realms of human knowledge, as only Bill Bryson can render it. Now, in this handsome new edition, Bill Bryson's words are supplemented by full-color artwork that explains in visual terms the concepts and wonder of science, at the same time giving face to the major players in the world of scientific study. Eloquently and entertainingly described, as well as richly illustrated, science has never been more involving or entertaining. About the AuthorBILL BRYSONs bestselling books include A Walk in the Woods, Im a Stranger Here Myself, In a Sunburned Country, and Brysons Dictionary of Troublesome Words. He received the 2004 Aventis Prize for A Short History of Nearly Everything. He lives in England with his wife and children.

I may be missing something here, but I don't see any folding instructions...have they gone missing or something?
Kellyck19 Jun, 2012
This folding method is exactly like the newspaper seeding pots I'm making with my nephews this week. Go to http://www.forgreenies.com/origami-newspaper-seedling-pots and simply substitute a tablecloth for newspaper.
dlemke14 Jun, 2012
totally agree with the above statements. A cool idea, but the instructions are too vague and the pictures are too small.
hopefullyw1 Jun, 2012
I liked the idea ! shd try it ,, but yeah the pic's are not so clear, i used my little origami experience to understand them!
Charlaf30 May, 2012
looks like a great idea, but pictures are not clear enough to copy without some instructions to go with them.
ironside9927 May, 2012
Would love a larger picture and of course text on the project. But as USual with the Martha Stewart Empire they would Charge you for it. Most of their ideas are recycled or ideas from o0ther places.
Mimo27 May, 2012
What a neat idea , i did a practice round with plain ol' paper, the instructions leave a bit to be desired though ... and i think this could be made into more permanent baskets using some fabric starch and ironing the folds
dsreed527 May, 2012
It took a few tries but I did it! Written instructions would help.

Please include printed directions along with pictures. The photos are not easy to follow - I tried, but just couldn't make it work. Thanks in advance for written instuctions.
nmclnmcl21 Dec, 2010
i must be kraft challenge.... i cant' seem to follow the instructions... and picture are sooooo small.... not good for people like me....
mcdriggs5 Jun, 2010
i've done alot of origami but the oilcloth is hard to work with and doesn't hold crease well; very frustrating.
RobinM615 Jun, 2010
I don't usually have problems with MS instructions, but these diagrams are not user friendly. They are so tiny, it makes it really hard to see what to do-especially near the end where someone on MS staff must think we don't know that the 5 foot square cloth is going to end up as a smaller box, so the pictures get tinier and tinier to illustrate this. Thank you to those of you who posted other web site info to help understand this!
DDKD5 Jun, 2010
These diagrams leave out a crucial piece of information.
This fold is based on a rectangle with a simple sink fold at middle
(just like the start of a bow tie fold). The rolled down sides can be
"secured" with office clips.**************A variation on this is useful for traveling. Using some sheets of heavy weight plastic, along with office clips. VOILA!!! you have water proof collapsible boxes of various sizes for washing fruit, clothes, holding stuff!!. -

Wow...MS is recycling ideas this week. This is the second daily feature this week for this particular idea.

If you open "Google / videos" and search for origami boxes you get a lot of videos. Here's just one (of many): http://www.ehow.com/video_4986855_fold-origami-box.html Warning .... it's addictive ... you'll be searching out all sorts of other how-to videos!! :>)

I love having new ways to fold things. I also love Martha's Origami Nesting boxes - I stitch her "Baby Booties" (http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.0e0eb51a2e6b5ad59...

Our family uses this pattern all the time to place table scraps (bones, shrimp shells, etc.) Take a magazine, catalog,or other heavy paper at least 8" x10". Don't worry if it's not square. Follow the steps 1-14 for the first box. Make additional boxes steps 1-13, flip over and store flat side down in the first box until needed. Use at the table at mealtime. Kids will like cleaning up the dishes when most table trash is already in the boxes.
terrie-bear17 Aug, 2008
carottelychee---HURRAY -- FOR YOUR PICTURES OF THE STEP BY STEP. Origami is new to me and frankly I had given up. Even my husband said "OH I can figure this out"--NOT!. The pictures were a must!!! Has anyone bought the oil cloth and actually tried this? Let us know!
carottelychee17 Aug, 2008
Thank you rij12861 for the tip about using a cardboard at the bottom of the basket! I'm also glad to know that my pics helped some other crafters :)
mrsnarbonne17 Aug, 2008
This fold is actually quite popular in Taiwan - lots of families fold scratch paper (fliers, printouts you don't want, etc.) into little baskets and keep them in the dining room. They're great for holding seeds, chicken bones, etc. when eating - then afterwards you can easily toss it all into the trash.
snowgooseltd16 Aug, 2008
Martha.....please hire the ladies from Carotte
LindenBlossom16 Aug, 2008
Thanks CarotteLychee, you photos really made it simple. Try making individual sized ones out of paper or starched linen napkins. Pop something inside (bread roll, floral bloom, cup cake, party poppers, small gift, etc) to enhance your table setting.
rij1286115 Aug, 2008
carottelychee, just a hint for you., If you are using soft fabric, make a cardboard bottom to give the picnic basket some strength. Great how to picture! Kudos to you.
rij1286115 Aug, 2008
terrie-bear, yes, there are two sides. It is as if you are making roll down handles.
terrie-bear15 Aug, 2008
Are there 2 sides to fold down 3 times or do I roll them down together in step 12? This is where I am lost! Can someone help? How do I unfold this?
rij1286115 Aug, 2008
Thanks cindynelson for advising that you started with paper. This is actually a breeze. Especially when you realize point 12 is folding down the paper three times. Now using cloth, it is wonderful! I have a cozy picnic planned for my living room.
maryomoerlins15 Aug, 2008
if you make sure to start with a square of stiff fabric it will work out rather well. This definitely doesn't work with softer fabrics. I reccomend using an oragami sized piece of paper to practice as it makes the folding a lot easier when you get to the full size.
EagerLearner15 Aug, 2008
Cindysnelson- Trying it with Paper first was such a good idea! I just tried it, and it topk me a while, but I finally got it to work!! Also, I saved each individual group of pictures from above and blew them up using my photo editor. The lines were a little fuzzy put you could see which way the arrows were pointing better. Can't wait to try this with the real thing!

Trillian15 Aug, 2008
So cool! We picnic a lot, so I can't wait to try this.
ladyhenry15 Aug, 2008
Good idea. I too tried it with paper. It worked also. For those having trouble maybe practicing some Origami would help. Just an idea. I know I have done some in the past.
pelican6615 Aug, 2008
id say print out these directions and keep in the picnic basket for how to refold it back once the picnic is over!
caitirose31315 Aug, 2008
Fold square in half vertically L 2 R then in half horizontally top to bottom Fold in half vertically L 2 R
There r 2 layers of paper on the right Take the top layer of paper on R -
calicomom15 Aug, 2008
Most of the directions are straightforward origami folds until step 12 (flip over between steps 11
Photographer15 Aug, 2008
What a cute idea! I, too, just tried it with a piece of 8 x 11 paper and it worked. My only confusion was in Step 12 - written directions would definitely have been helpful. In that step, you fold (sort of roll) each side down toward the pointed end. Those are the handles. Then you open it up - the pointed ends become the bottom of the basket.
Hope this helps. -
harper15 Aug, 2008
Neat idea but I tried it with a piece of paper, did fine until step 12. It felt like the Garly Larson cartoon of a scientific formula "step 13 - a Miracle occurs, step 14 - a box." Maybe a tutorial in the symbols used in origami would be helpful.
lsparks15 Aug, 2008
I would like to congratulate cindysnelson for figuring this out so quickly. The directions are very difficult, and I have given up. A bit of explaination would have been nice.
craftd1orig15 Aug, 2008
Very, very confusing...I got lost at about step 5. VIDEO please!
craftd1orig15 Aug, 2008
Origami always blows my mind!! I just cannot do it without a video or very, very explicit instructions. I got lost on this one at about step 5. This was more complicated than most!! VIDEO please.
kristinef15 Aug, 2008
I have tries to fold this a few times, but seem to get stuck at the end.
cmarlow4115 Aug, 2008
I made it to step 10 but couldn't figure it out from there. Ditto on the video.
Xiomara15 Aug, 2008
cindynelson...maybe you can bring some light to this project?
It sounds neat, but hard to follow. -
meanjeanms15 Aug, 2008
Yes Martha, we need a video. Explain as if we are 8 years old. I was never good at origami. Love the idea.
Summerstead15 Aug, 2008
I just fumbled my way through using a piece of paper. It would have been easier with instructions that werea a little more clear.
However, I plan to make several paper baskets, fill with candy, and that's what we'll give out for Halloween.
I am also thinking about making some for organized storage in the trunk of my car. I'll probably place something in the bottom to make it a little more sturdy.
frinkles15 Aug, 2008
The illustrations are not user friendly at all! A video or a better how-to illustration would be appreciated for this great idea.
Pampered115 Aug, 2008
The instructions are a bit vague, can we have a video or more details instructions please?
seahorse7315 Aug, 2008
I'm trying this at work with paper and the directions are not that clear. A video of the folding process would help this great project.
lbuser15 Aug, 2008
Actually, these instructions are clearer than most origami instructions. If you try it out with paper first, it will become clear as you work through it. By the way, all those curved lines ARE arrows. I love the idea of the changing pad for a baby shower - and filled with little item, it will be especially nice. This is a fun craft idea - using origami to make something big instead of tiny.
ireneturrin15 Aug, 2008
Great idea! I really wanted to try this and like "Cindysnelson" first attempted it with paper.....but unfortunately, it was impossible to follow the tiny diagrams.....dear MS crafters -- could you please revise the diagrams and instructions, ideally add a video doing the step-by-step, or at the very least....."Cindysnelson" could you please explain how you did it?
Thanks! -
Rubybagonia15 Aug, 2008
It would have been great if the instructions were clearer or showed on video.
Very hard to follow. Can you make a video for that craft?Thank you
Ruby Bagonia
angelfish15 Aug, 2008
I'd like to see a video of this. Think it would be easier to follow directions.
Sokkie15 Aug, 2008
This is a neat idea! Just tried it on paper too, and it's good I've got already some experience in origami. It's not difficult, but a first-time try on origami needs some explanation of the signs.
northwoodsfroggy15 Aug, 2008
It WORKS!!!! Wow! I like thw idea that cindynelson had about using idea for baby shower and I can even see this for wedding shower, house warming etc....
cindysnelson31 Jul, 2008
I just saw this and tried it with paper. I thought if I tried it out small, I could figure out the folds easier and actually made it work the first time.I think it is a really cute idea, and I can't wait to try it with fabric. I am even thinking about using this idea on a smaller level. How about a water proof changing pad for a baby shower?
tonipete31 Jul, 2008
This sounds like a neat idea, however, the directions are not very clear. It would help if there were arrows showing the direction of the folds, or a video. I tried, but finally gave up.
firenzebella31 Jul, 2008
This project would benefit from a short video showing how to do it - the illustrations are not very clear!

Packaging internships work
The hiring of a full-time employee who began a relationship with a firm as an intern is an informed decision by both parties. It creates an engaged employee committed to the firm's success. The experiences of the individual over time add to his or her value because of the nature of the packaging function in a firm. The packaging function in many firms exists as a liaison position in the firm connecting the various functional groups and, more important, sharing information among those groups. A permanent employee has a long-term outlook and understands the value in establishing trust relationships with other functional groups in an organization to better facilitate communication. The firm and the individual have a clearer understanding of each other's goals before a job offer is made and an internship allows time for that understanding to develop.

2011 marks 150 years since Italy was unified. Turin is preparing great festivities for this great occasion, which will also provide the opportunity for collective debate, encouraging a National reflection of the country's past and present and leading to a conscious vision about its future.
The Italy 150 Committee, active since 2007, is composed of public entities and the main economic and cultural bodies from the Piemonte region. In concert with the Italian Government, it has been tasked with designing and organizing these festivities in Turin and the Piemonte.
In this spirit, Turin has decided to be at the service of the Nation to celebrate in 2011 a great event with the title "Experiencing Italy", articulated through an exceptionally rich program of cultural activities, sports and shows.
From 17 March to November 20 there will be 250 days of exhibitions, themed displays, conventions and shows, presenting the best that Italy has to offer to the world: artistic and cultural beauty, creativity made in Italy, innovation, quality of life, history, and enogastronomy. An extraordinary event that will allow visitors to experience Italy by reliving its past, discussing its present and seeing its future possibilities, with the final aim of building a national identity framework that is shared by all Italians and becomes a source of pride for all.
Experiencing Italy is for all "Italic" people, that is Italians in the strict sense of the word, new Italians, Italian communities around the world, and everyone who is passionate about our country.
Experiencing Italy is a great international event where visitors will have a true Italian experience. The general public will not only have the opportunity to see all the proposed activities and shows, but to live them, becoming part of the exhibition and tasting a fresh experience of "Italianness".
The main exhibitions in the program:
ART – a selection of masterpieces by great artists from 1300 to 1861, which will trace the history of Italian cities through the works that represent them.
ENOGASTRONOMY – a trip through the typical flavors and aromas of our country, where Italians will have the opportunity to be part of numerous themed workshops that have been organized for this occasion.
HISTORY AND IDENTITY - an interactive, participatory representation of the slow, sometimes difficult but nevertheless relentless process that has "made us Italian".
FUTURE - a dedicated portrait about the future of our country, of the Italy we will become through the main aspects of everyday life: mobility, home living, the body, work, and our relations with the community.
在这一步中,您将看到要求您提供解决方案的品牌 Builder 相关信息。他会自我介绍 (当然是作为品牌 :) 您对品牌的了解越深入,您的作品被接受的可能性越大。
重要事项:可能出于保密原因,品牌 Builder 不愿透露自己的身份。此类 Brief 将以匿名方式发布。这种情况下,品牌 Builder 想介绍多少,就介绍多少。
"NMN -No More Nicotine- 是一个承诺能抵消吸烟对皮肤造成的损害的品牌。NMN 通过药房销售,价格定位处于中高档;该品牌主要通过专业人士推荐,没有大量的广告宣传。"
简而言之:谁是您的客户 (无论是可见还是"匿名" :)
The Committee 150 is asking creators to conceive the title of the exhibition about the "Future", which should be easy to recognize and recall by the general public.
The title, as one of the main items identifying the exhibition, will be printed on all materials to be designed for the exhibition, both indoors and outdoors.
The exhibition will take place inside one of the two legs that make up the fascinating space that was the OGR (Officine Grandi Riparazioni - Train Maintenance Workshops, one of the monuments of Turinese industry where trains used to be built. The other leg will be dedicated to exhibitions on "History and Identity", titled "MAKING ITALIANS".
Both exhibitions are linked by their inevitable closeness and continuity, both in terms of time and space.
The exhibition on the "Future", sprawling over approximately 6,000 m2, presents visitors with scenarios of a future that feels both near and immediate, comprising a selection of innovations, solutions and discoveries that today are laying the foundations to change the way we live tomorrow.
The course of this exhibition includes a series of stations, each with imposing architecture that has a dreamlike flavor and delves into a topic of everyday life (home living, the body, mobility, work, and the community). These topics also include two overarching questions, how we will communicate and how we will think.
The succession of these stations does not force visitors to follow a given path, instead it frees them to move around the space and experience all the sensory and perceptive stimuli it offers, making them play the role of a true explorer.
这是品牌 Builder 要求您完成的任务。如果您不了解,那您就彻底没戏了。
"我们想让 Creator 设计一个印刷品广告宣传来增加品牌知名度。将在今春投放到全国媒体杂志上。"
Inclusiveness is the main feature of the Experiencing Italy event program. It is also an activity that wants to explore the possible future as an experience that affects each one of us.
This exhibition wants to speak to the broadest public possible, both in terms of age and socio-cultural characteristics. However, this does not take from the fact that the main target of this project is made up of young and young – adult men and women: this is the part of the population that, due to their education and inclination, is quite curious, easily adopting innovations and discoveries that, in a few decades, will become mainstream for all.
品牌 Builder 希望您让他们高兴,并说服他们想到、感觉到或使用您的创作做某些事的人。通常您会读到他们的年龄、性别、社会阶层和行为。您在创作过程始终应把这些信息牢记在心,因为目标受众才是最终接受您作品的人。
This event represents the opportunity to know and research about the near future, a time of innovation but also of participation and individual responsibility to the society where we live. Thus, the objective is to guide visitors, first to understand and then to visualize their own future.
The naming must evoke:
the idea of a possible and near future to explore and to actively help build
品牌 Builder 想要目标受众从您的创作中,思考 / 感觉 / 有所行动的东西。
∞ 人们会想到 / 感觉到的一些事:
- 出现了一个新的品牌(或产品或创意或...)
- 这个品牌比其它的或以前的更好
- 这个品牌值得多花点钱
∞ 人们会做的一些事:
- 开始购买该品牌的产品
- 更经常购买该品牌的产品
- 在零售店里库存更多该品牌的产品
上面这些例子非常具体,而通常 Brief 提案是感性的。那样更好,因为可以带来灵感!
The exhibition is a time to "experience" the world of tomorrow today. Visitors will be able to know the ideas, and touch, see and test the solutions that will become reality in just a few years.
They can also obtain specific content they can take home: in fact, each will receive a kit where they can store printed and digital material that explains in more detail the topics of the displays, so they can continue "visiting" the exhibition from the comfort of their own home.
INFORMAL: we will not speak "industry jargon" but talk to all
OPEN: it does not impose a tour to be followed; it allows for different speeds and modularity according to the preferences and curiosity of the visitors.
CONCRETE: it communicates ideas and uses tools and objects connected to actual everyday life.
CROSS-MEDIA: it moves nimbly between the different multimedia languages, making broad use of the Internet as the main communication channel.
The exhibition title, as its identifying feature, will be present in all communication elements regardless of their level or format (brochure, Italy 150 web site, advertising campaigns, and promotion activities and tools for the event).
列出了目标受众将能够看见您创作成果的地方(或媒介或事物)。这一步中,有时品牌还会告知您该制作的预计投资金额。此信息有助于您决定项目的规模大小。 :)
"此广告活动将于 2009 年春季投放于侧重于生活方式和健康的新西兰妇女杂志上。我们计划投资 500000 美元,可以购买大约 100 张单页。"
The use of Italian for the proposal is not mandatory; possible solutions in English must be broadly understandable and recognized at all literacy levels.
It is possible to consider a subtitle accompanying the main title.
∞ 指导方针或必须包含的事项(注意事项)
∞ 商业目标
∞ 市场和竞争者概述
∞ 正面和反面样本
取决于 Brief 的不同,您可能会发现一些随附的文件,比如徽标、产品图片,您提交创意时使用的模板,或任何品牌想要与您分享的其他文件。所以,开始创作前先研究一下随附文件。

What a drop in quality!
Like another recent reviewer this is my first time reviewing a product. Totally agree with the recent poor reviews but would add the word grissly to other negative comments. However so disappoint and surprising as happily purchased these last year when they were succulent and delicious.

please take notice of the poor reviews
Yes, I ignored the bad reviews and regretted it. These chops were so dry and tasteless, truthfully, the worst I have ever had. Seems that all the fat/ skin has been removed. WHY? I will keep buying organic, but never this brand again.

very disappointing...
Moved to write my first ever review after a very disappointing supper! The chops were tough with hard fat and weirdly tasteless... Expected much more from organic,.

Wanted to love it, but it was just okay
I bought these based on the strong reviews and I was very attracted by its being organic, but I was pretty underwhelmed with the result. I used a meat thermometer to ensure that they were cooked medium rare, but they were still tougher than I'd have liked. Furthermore, given that they were so fatty, you'd need to plan on at least two chops per person in order to have a meaningful portion.

Really good
Very thick and meaty with an excellent taste. I don't really like meat, so the fact that I enjoyed these speaks volumes.
Lamb and Vegetables with Quinoa
The beauty of this dish is that it may be frozen and is actually tastier when reheated. If you are a vegetarian, you can omit the lamb, increase the amount of vegetables and add chick peas instead.

Perspective and commentary by Marshall Breeding | Blog Archive |
I have posted the results the seventh annual survey of data collected on how libraries rate their current integrated library system, the company involved, and the quality of customer support. The survey also aims to gather data regarding attitudes regarding interest levels in open source ILS products. Perceptions 2013: an international survey of library automation gives the general conclusions and presents all the statistical results derived from the survey. As usual, some of the most interesting and valuable information lies in the comments offered by responders.
Just as I did for the previous editions survey, I created an interactive tool for viewing the statistical summaries and comments. The main tables in the article show statistics only for those products that had more than 15 survey responses. You can use the ILS Product Report to view the statistics on any of the products mentioned in the survey and to read the comments about that system, even if the number of responses did not meet the threshold. The comments that display have been edited to remove any text that identifies the individual or institution, preserving the anonymity of the responders. The narrative data in the comments largely corroborate the statistical responses and makes for interesting reading.

My Systems Librarian column Library Technology Forecast for 2014 and Beyond published in the December 2013 issue of Computers in Libraries is now available online at Information Today. In this column I mention some of the trends that I expect to see next year related to library technologies. These categories addressed include:
Libraries continue to face enormous challenges as they continue to deal with woefully inadequate budgets at the same time that almost every aspect of their work has become more complex. In these times when search engines, social networks, and ecommerce sites set an almost unreachable bar for user experience and breadth of content, libraries have to make extraordinary efforts to impress their patrons with the information resources and services that they offer on the web while remaining true to core library values. Thus, the stage is set. Ill discuss some of the trends that I see playing out on the library technology front as we look ahead for the next couple of years.

Severe Morning Sickness Could Lead to Pre-Term Birth
February 15, 2012
by Kate Goodin
© Veer
Morning sickness usually can be brushed off as part and parcel of pregnancy (along the lines of pickle and ice cream cravings), but a new study found it can also be an indicator of serious birth complications, including pre-term labor and preeclampsia.
Plus: Moms' Best Morning Sickness Remedies
The study looked at more than 80,000 women who were all enrolled in a maternity education program and who gave birth between 2004 and 2011. The women who reported debilitating morning sickness were 23 percent more likely to deliver their babies pre-term (before 34 weeks). They also had a 31 percent greater chance of developing high blood pressure or preeclampsia, and were twice as likely to have a low weight gain in their pregnancy.
Plus: Celeb Chef Ellie Krieger on Curbing Morning Sickness
One of the study's researchers, Dr. Gary Stanziano of Alere Health, a company that makes health care products and has a morning sickness treatment program, said that this highlights the importance of recognizing and treating severe morning sickness. "This should not be a condition that's taken lightly," he said.

More About Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon
, philosopher, essayist, lawyer and statesman, was born in London in 1561. He studied at Cambridge and was enrolled at Gray's Inn in 1576. In 1584 he entered Parliament as the member for Melcombe Regis, subsequently representing other constituencies. Bacon made the acquaintance of the Earl of Essex, who endeavored to advance him in his career. Nevertheless, having been appointed to investigate the causes of Essex's revolt in 1601, Bacon was largely responsible for the earl's conviction. Bacon was appointed Solicitor-General in 1607 and was successively Attorney-General (1613), Lord Keeper (1617) and Lord Chancellor (1618). He was created Baron Verulam in 1618 and Viscount St. Albans in 1621. Later in that year he was charged with bribery and confessed that he had been guilty of 'corruption and neglect' but denied that he had ever perverted justice. He was deprived of the Great Seal, fined, imprisoned in the Tower and disabled from sitting in Parliament. Following his release, he retired to the family home at Gorhambury, Hertfordshire, and his remaining years were spent in literary and philosophical work. It was Bacon's ambition to create a new system of philosophy to replace that of Aristotle, and he has been justly acclaimed as an inspiration to later scientists, rationalists and materialists. Of his philosophical works, the principal and best known are
The Advancement of Learning
Novum Organum
De Augmentis
. He also wrote several professional works including
Maxims of the Law
Reading on the Statue of Uses
. Of his literary writings the most important are the
(1597; issued in final form in 1625),
De Sapientia Veterum
Apophthegms New and Old
and a
History of Henry VII
. Francis Bacon died in 1626

Results: | 91-95 OT |
Location: | Indianola, Iowa |
In an Iowa Conference battle at Cowles Fieldhouse in Indianola, host Simpson defeated Luther 95-91 in overtime.
John Androus, who recorded a double-double, drained two free throws with nine seconds left in regulation that tied the game at 78-78. The Storm outscored the Norse 17-13 during the extra five minutes of action en route to their first win in league play.

Simpson was led by the trio of Charles Swain, Dillon Gretzky and Chad Gutschenritter who all produced 20-plus points.
The game was decided at the free throw line as the two teams combined for a total of 80 free throws. The Norse were 23-of-29, while the Storm were 40-of-51.

Scottish clans (from Gaelic clann, "progeny"), give a sense of identity and shared descent to people in Scotland and to their relations throughout the world, with a formal structure of Clan Chiefs recognised by the court of the Lord Lyon, King of Arms which acts as an authority concerning matters of heraldry and Coat of Arms.
Most clans have their own tartan patterns, usually dating from the 19th century, and members of the clan may wear kilts, plaids, sashes, ties, scarves, or other items of clothing made of the appropriate tartan as a badge of membership and as a uniform where appropriate.

Cracks widen in the armor of the surveillance state
10:56 am in Uncategorized by Shahid Buttar
This article was originally published at the People's Blog for the Constitution, the blog of the Bill of Rights Defense Committee.
Members of Congress sensitive to constitutional limits on executive power have introduced no fewer than a dozen bills to curtail NSA spying. Most of them would do nothing to address the most recent disclosures from journalist Glenn Greenwald. Until the full scope of NSA spying is revealed to the public, congressional remedies for constitutional violations will remain insufficient.
Unfortunately, while Snowden's disclosures may enable further facts to finally emerge about NSA abuses, transparency is generally waning despite President Obama's rhetorical commitment to it.
The latest revelations of NSA domestic spying include new information about the government's ability to intercept social network communications, email metadata and content, and other online content–all without a judicial warrant.
Beyond the particular details about Xkeyscore, however, lies a more disturbing implication: neither the press, nor the public, nor even Congress have any idea of the full extent to which the NSA is spying on Americans.
And if the latest results from the war on whistleblowers is any indication, each of these sectors will remain in the dark going forward, executive abuses will continue to mount, and our system of constitutional checks & balances will creak as executive secrecy continues to impede review from either Congress or the courts.
Congress legislating in the dark…
The same day that the Guardian revealed the NSA's's ability to casually intercept online communications even in social networking applications like Facebook, Senate intelligence committee chair Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) revealed how little she knows about the operations of an agency she is charged to oversee.
Despite being described by the Washington Post as "chief congressional defender of the surveillance program to skeptical colleagues and critics who say it's Big Brother run amok," she wrote an op-ed in the Post pledging to "work with…the Senate intelligence and judiciary committees to consider changes to the NSA call-records program in an effort to increase transparency and improve privacy protections."
While her interests in transparency and privacy are laudable, they are a day late, a dollar short, and dramatically out of step with her overwhelmingly principled (either libertarian or progressive, but rarely moderate) constituents. Most striking, however, are the gaps pervading Feinstein's analysis.
First, she insists that NSA intelligence collection is limited to meta-data, and emphasizes the controls supposedly limiting access to the vast mountains of data collected under a particular program, Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, implicated by the first document revealed by Snowden.
But that's only a single program. The PRISM program, which was also revealed weeks ago, explicitly captures content, as does the XKeyscore program revealed just yesterday. Feinstein downplays the extent of surveillance even while calling for more transparency. As the longtime chair of the relevant Senate oversight committee, she should have a better grip on the facts.
At one point, Sen. Feinstein absurdly claims to "know of no federal program for which audits, congressional oversight and scrutiny by the Justice Department, the intelligence community and the courts are stronger or more sustained."
The Senator's self-assurance aside, yesterday's Guardian article revealed that even corporate contractors were allowed access to real-time social network monitoring with neither executive nor judicial oversight of any kind, not even by the rubberstamp FISA court. If this is the zenith of transparency across the federal government, it would be interesting to learn what the Senator thinks secrecy looks like.
Other members of the Senate intelligence committee, such as Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), have posed tough questions to executive officials, only to be stonewalled by the administration and blocked from reviewing key facts that would help reveal the extent of domestic NSA surveillance.
Last week, in the first vote on domestic surveillance powers since the Snowden leaks, the House came only six votes short of defunding the NSA's domestic's spying activities entirely.
The surveillance state staved off a public vote of no confidence with a margin of just over 1%. And that was before the latest revelations of online and email surveillance even beyond what Congress knew about at the time.
The PATRIOT Act has never been popular among Americans despite its recurring reauthorization from a compliant Congress. Over 400 cities and towns across the country enacted resolutions opposing PATRIOT powers, in addition to eight states, all representing a wide diversity of political cultures.
Would Congress have ever approved these powers had their more recent abuses been anticipated years ago? If recent comments from PATRIOT's author offer any indication, the answer is no.

Great oceanside campground with some sites on bluff directly above beach. If you love the ocean, you will love this campground. Paved path runs for over 4 miles from harbor to north to golf course on south. Hiking, biking, roller blading. etc. only on path. Wide sandy beach runs entire 4 mile stretch. October is great time to visit with pumpkin festival and wonderful weather to enjoy.

Friendly staff, wonderful setting on edge of town. Only 5 minutes to full service supermarket and various shops. Very quiet at night behind locked gates. We enjoyed great weather, fishing in lake and visiting local ocean beaches 15 minutes away. We are looking forward to our next visit.
