CHAPEL HILL — Mike Fox has coached plenty of North Carolina baseball teams that have been good enough to overcome their own mistakes. This one, though, isn't among them.
That's why Fox was particularly frustrated by one sequence in the second inning of his team's 7-0 defeat by Florida State on Friday night.
"It's very slim," Fox said Friday night of his team's margin for error, which has been practically nonexistent during this long season. "That's to the point of that second inning – like, really, did that just really happen?"
The Seminoles (38-11, 18-7 ACC), ranked fourth nationally, scored their first two runs in the second inning on a wild pitch. The first runner, Jose Brizuela, crossed home plate easily after Trent Thornton, the Tar Heels' starting pitcher, threw a pitch that catcher Korey Dunbar couldn't handle.
And then, after Dunbar took his time locating Thornton's errant pitch, the Seminoles' Ben DeLuzio scored from second base. Dunbar, Thornton said later, thought he had caught the pitch and was surprised to see that it wasn't in his glove.
Even so, Fox quickly made a substitution at the end of the half-inning, ending Dunbar's night early.
"You've got to run after the ball," Fox said. "You know? It cost us a run. You've got to run after the ball. Simple as that."
This has been an agonizing, maddening season for Fox, and plays like that wild pitch are part of the reason why. Another reason: The Tar Heels (29-20, 13-12) haven't been an effective offensive team – at least not consistently.
UNC generated little against Luke Weaver, the Seminoles' junior right-hander. The Tar Heels' best scoring chance came in the first inning, when Skye Bolt, the team's No. 2 hitter, reached third base.
With runners on first and third, Weaver recorded one of his six strikeouts to end the inning. From there, just one more UNC batter reached second base, and the Tar Heels didn't advance past first base between the second and sixth innings.
The Seminoles, who clinched first place in the ACC's Atlantic Division, extended their lead with a run in the fourth inning and two more in the seventh. They took advantage of a hit batsman in the fourth and a walk in the seventh, and then clutch hits – including a double in the seventh from D.J. Stewart, who hit three doubles – drove in runs.
There was nothing clutch about the Tar Heels' performance, though – neither on the mound nor at the plate. Still, Thornton, UNC's sophomore right-hander, allowed four hits in five innings. The Seminoles seemed to capitalize on all of them.
"(I) thought I gave the team a chance to win, but we didn't score any runs," Thornton said. "So it's kind of hard to win the game when you don't score any runs."
The defeat gave UNC a troubling start to a three-game series that is of critical importance for its NCAA tournament hopes. The Tar Heels, who have become an annual College World Series contender, need a strong finish to the regular season to avoid missing the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2001.

Cambridge: Vine and Argyle Sidewalks
A decision was made by City of Cambridge council in 2009 to maintain the current street scape concept of 2 sidewalks--one on either side of the street--during the reconstruction of portions of Vine and Argyle Street in Preston. We the undersigned support this decision to keep sidewalks on both sides of the street particularly as it directly affects the safety of seniors and children in this school-dense area. We DO NOT SUPPORT the reconsideration of this decision by council, particularly when one of the outcomes is that sidewalks will be removed on one side of the street to accommodate parked cars. We support sidewalks and safety over parking spaces. This by-law applies to all of Preston and Cambridge so please support us now as they may be doing your street in the future. Please leave your actual name because any "anonymous" signatures will be deleted from the petition.

Hi. I am an IT Project Manager and am considering changing career completely, to architecture. Straight after school, I did a degree in economics and business. This decision was based on several factors, among them my interest in business, the wide application of such studies and the lack of confidence in my creative / artistic abilities, having not done art at school.
I am 27 now, and not surprisingly to me (on reflection), not finding my current career creatively stimulating or satisfying; there is this niggling regret that I didn't at least ATTEMPT (to study) Architecture when I was younger. To be honest, I am not convinced that the architectural discipline is necessarily the appropriate outlet for my creative instincts, and to make the decision NOW to follow the 7+ year formal education path (RIBA) to qualify as an architect, would therefore be a hefty one, with widespread implications. (e.g. What happens if after say 2 years things aren't working out, what am I skilled to do then, what doors am I closing by taking this course of action or if things do, how does the market look at a novice architect aged 35?!)
I am, by nature, observant and I pay great attention to detail. I have never really thought of myself as "arty", (please don't be offended by my stereotyping!). In fact, I think of myself as quite conservative (although this opinion has probably been formed by previous boundaries I have set for myself). My approach to life is logical, methodical and analytical, yet proactive and enthusiastic. I am very thoughtful, and within that arena, imaginative.
To date I have treated exploration of my "creative side" as a hobby: I have always been very interested in buidlings, and my photography has remained focussed on that subject matter. I love - and have had several opportunites to - look at (or create preliminary) building plans, to determine the most appropriate use of space and suitablitly to environment. I have built models for friends studying architecture and interior design. I have created logos and web pages, lighting and greeting cards, woodwork and jewellery, produced technical drawings and attended art courses. I love buidlings old and new, their history and their place in and contribution to society.
All this "talk" is getting me whipped up into a flurry of excitement! I have a few questions about which I was hoping members of the forum might be able to give some advice:
- Do I sound like the kind of person suited to a career in architecture?
- Do you know of any short courses - in/near London - (say up to 1 year, full or part time) that would serve as an introduction to architecture (a) to provide the basics on which further architectural studies could be based or (b) from I would emerge with some deisgn skills that could be used in other areas of design, should I decide that architecture is not for me?
- Would a general "introduction to design - skills, techniques and background" be a better avenue, so that from a broad base I could decide if I am strong enough in design to pursue a career therin?
- What is the architectural community's opinion of Draftsmen?
- Can one "get by" in the architectural arena with just a draftsman qualification?
- Can you recommend any draftsman courses in/near London

So now he gets to move one of his cronies in as his replacement so that person can accumulate a higher salary and thus higher pension benefits. Just in time to escape the wrath of the salary-paying public who somehow "owe" them until the day they die. Just keep stacking them up, one after the other. Someone should do a calculation of how many current and ex fire chiefs we're paying right now (us taxpayers). I'm sure folks would be amazed.
Yet he says he's working for nothing. Seriously, Richard Price, who are you trying to kid???

Honestly, does Mr. Price think we are all that stupid? What a gravy train...so glad the NAPA chief gave him the heads up on how to milk us further...the newspaper article was so illuminating as to his mentor to rip us off further. Retiring at over 200K per year? Umm,..really? Thank You Sandee...we have re-elected fire district board members who have spouses who are firemen, do you all not see this? Please read your newspapers folks. It is appropriate his helmet had a gold tinge to it, we paid for his golden retirement of the likes his taxpayers do not have...ENOUGH ALREADY....this retirement package is NOT available ANYWHERE in the private sector. Keep working for One dollar a year Dick, you are fooling anyone who has a college education and pays taxes...

the man is 50....and is retiring? We are paying for this? Health care benefits for life?...Excuse me? I have lived here for 30 years, how many houses have burned downed?....these boys now pretty much do EMT work, " dispatched to Kaiser"..."dispatched to San Ramon Regional"...the internet apps have shown me what they really do day to day, and it ain't much....I suggest the public actually monitor and listen in.

SFWC Rescues Mottled Ducklings from Storm Drain
The South Florida Wildlife Center's rescue team works daily with the South Florida community to rescue wildlife from life-threatening situations. One of the more frequent calls the team receives is to help orphaned or injured ducklings. Because the climate is so mild in South Florida, baby season extends well beyond springtime, so ducklings are frequent year-round visitors to the SFWC veterinary center.

It is located at the southern edge of North Malé Atoll (Kaafu Atoll). It is also one of the Administrative divisions of the Maldives. Traditionally it was the King's Island, from where the ancient Maldive Royal dynasties ruled and where the palace was located. The city was also called Mahal. Formerly it was a walled city surrounded by fortifications and gates (doroshi). The Royal Palace (Gan'duvaru) was destroyed along with the picturesque forts (kotte) and bastions (buruzu) when the city was remodelled under President Ibrahim Nasir's rule after the abolition of the monarchy. However, the beautifully decorated Male' Hukuru Miskiy remains. In recent years, the island has been considerably expanded through landfilling operations. Over the years there have been many coup attempts and protests centered in Male as a result of demand for greater democracy in the Maldives.

'Local Mobile Advantage of Retailing' Report Finds "Search for a Coupon" Ranks As Number 1 Mobile Shopping Activity (35.86 Percent), Ahead of "Buy Item Online" (12.05 Percent)

Ag Economist Predicts Bright Future for Livestock Producers
Purdue University Ag Economist Farzad Taheripour says livestock producers should expect a bright future. According to Taheripour - more efficient land use, a stalled demand for corn ethanol and increased demand for meat in developing countries should help boost the industry in coming years. He says the livestock industry will grow - particularly toward poultry and pork - because of consumer taste preferences and global growth in both income and population. He expects the demand for poultry and pork to increase significantly.

The man who was convicted of killing two Anderson County women after claiming to be a secret agent will get a new trial.
In 2008, Raymondeze Rivera was convicted of strangling 27-year-old Asha Wiley in front of her child. Two years later, Rivera was also found guilty of murder in the death of 28-year-old Kwana Burns. Both women were killed in 2006.
During his first trial about Wiley's death, Rivera testified that he had been hired to kill the women. He said he also considered killing Wiley's child, but he decided against it because he has a child of his own. He was sentenced to life in prison for killing Wiley.
At the second trial regarding Burns' death, a judge denied Rivera's request to testify. Rivera was sentenced to death.
The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the judge presiding over the second trial violated Rivera's constitutional right to testify, and ordered a new trial.
"The facts surrounding this case are horrific and cry out for the death penalty," said 10th Circuit Solicitor Chrissy Adams. "It is tragic that the families must be victimized all over again by having to undergo the rigors of another trial."
Adams said Rivera's life sentence still stands.
It was not immediately clear when Rivera's new trial might take place.

Wheatfield with Crows, 1890
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
Wheatfield with Crows is one of Van Gogh's most famous paintings and probably the one most subject to speculation. It was executed in July 1890, in the last weeks of Van Gogh's life. Many have claimed it was his last work, seeing the dramatic, cloudy sky filled with crows and the cut-off path as obvious portents of his coming end. However, since no letters are known from the period immediately preceding his death, we can only guess what his final work might really have been.

The name "Italy" is shrouded in mystery; some etymologists trace it to a Greek word meaning "the land of young cattle."
Italy was fond of Jupiter and Mars from the very start, Jupiter for fatherly good luck and Mars for war!
But it all began with Rome. Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus who were sons of Rhea and Mars.
The twins were abandoned at birth out of a fear that they would grow up and later overthrow Amelius, usurper of their grandfather's rightful throne.
Wrongful mis-doings most foul! Treachery and sabotage!! HOW would these two blessed infants make their way in such a world?
As it turns out, the twins didn't have to make their way very far, because one of them killed the other one and then they weren't twins anymore. But that happens later.
First they got rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them with her milk and raised them as her own until they were discovered by the shepherd Faustulus.
Faustulus fed them meat and bread and also raised them as his own until they were old enough to return to Amelius and hack him up as planned. They reinstated the grandfather Numitor to his rightful throne and went off to celebrate by starting a town of their own.
They chose a hilly area where the mama wolf had saved them from certain death in the barren wilderness and began scouting locations.
Romulus liked one hill. Remus liked another. The circle of crows like Romulus' hill, so Romulus killed Remus and named the town after himself. Thus Rome was born and Italy with it.

- Hewlett-Packard reported year-over-year increases in PC revenues and shipments.
- A recovering PC market allows Intel's PC division to subsidize its relentless quest to build mobile market share while still sporting a 64.5% overall gross margin.
- Intel is perfectly positioned with the 14nm Broadwell release as PC sales recover - look for upward earnings revisions in Q3 and/or Q4.

SOUTH MILWAUKEE, Wisc. -- Caterpillar previously announced plans to layoff production employees in June at the company's South Milwaukee, Wisconsin facility.
Friday, the company announced to its workforce the details and specific timing for those actions, which will bring production in line with demand, as stated in a release, which mentions:
Products built in South Milwaukee are used in the mining industry, and customer orders for those products are weaker than when compared to last year.
As a result, Cat has notified approximately 260 production employees that they will be placed on indefinite layoff, effective June 24, 2013. In addition, the company is announcing two, one-week temporary layoffs that will impact the vast majority of the South Milwaukee manufacturing facility, including support and management employees.
Some cost reduction measures have already been implemented in South Milwaukee and Oak Creek, such as previously announced indefinite and temporary layoffs of up to four weeks for other support/management employees; reduced hours for production employees, travel restrictions and controlled hiring.
CAT states the company know this is difficult for employees and their families, and the company will do what it can to ensure impacted employees have support during this time.
Ultimately, with lower orders from mining customers, the company says it must take steps to bring production in line with demand.

Board of Directors Meeting Minutes October 25, 2010
Board of Directors (BOD) Meeting Minutes
October 25, 2010
Board Members in Attendance: Matt Parsons, Bob Young, Jennifer Crossett, Chuck Raisch, Ryan Blake, Bryon Farnsworth, Heather Day-Richter, Daniel Storch, Kim Churches, Colleen Hackley, Rebecca Hudson (via phone)
Board Members Absent: None
Staff: Nancy James, RB Fast, Greg Jaworowski
Guests: Dave Andrews
- 1. Welcome
- Parsons called the meeting to order at 6:12pm
- Parsons took attendance and established quorum. Approval of the September 27, 2010 board meeting minutes was set in motion by Parsons, all in favor (6), all opposed (0), abstain (5 – all new BOD members), absent (0) - the September 27, 2010 minutes were approved with one adjustment to the financial report – there was an inaccuracy in which depreciation was not counted in June and July equated to approximately 0.5% rather than 0.05% as originally stated in the minutes.
- BOD Member Agreements were reviewed and collected for all members – Confidentiality Agreement, Conflict of Interest Statement and Board Member Agreement. Board members were reminded about the responsibilities of serving on a board. One point to remember is that items will be discussed and members can have their own opinions but that the board members need to support the decisions of board outside of the committee.
- 2. Officer Election
- Secretary – Ryan Blake was nominated by Parsons and seconded by Crossett, all in favor (11), all opposed (0), abstain (0), absent (0). Ryan Blake has been elected as Secretary of the MAC BOD.
- 3. Financials and Enrollment Report
- Farnsworth reviewed the September financials with the board. Noted that MAC does accounting on an accrual basis and that tuition is collected in advance. Also noted was that the September financials are a better reflection of MAC's financial state vs the August numbers due to a number of reasons including:
i. School year starts in September and student counts are higher than in the summer
ii. Moving to Smart Tuition resulted in upfront costs to get each MAC family onto their payment system. Going forward for new parents, those one time fees will be included in new enrollment charges.
Additional notes included:
i. There is a prorated budget for major fund raising that is solely based on the MAC Gala.
ii. Tuition is the main revenue for MAC.
iii. There is a need to build up cash reserves that put MAC in a better position for refinancing the building loans that mature in 2013.
iv. Budget planning starts in October. MAC has outsourced some over functions (payroll and tuition) and is looking for other changes such as accounting and banking.
- RB Fast reviewed the September enrollment report. MAC has switched to a new tuition system provider - Smart Tuition. Smart Tuition has better reporting capabilities that MAC has ever had. Internal Waiting List "Non-Viable" number was high due to the kids not yet being born. Toddler communities will need new enrollments in Nov, Jan and Feb. RB is diligently working to fill those slots. Several viable candidates have tours and meetings the week of Oct 25.
- 4. Executive Director (ED) Report
- Nancy James reviewed the ED Report. Compliments were given to Shana doing a great job with book keeping and her duties as Admin Assistant. Licensing Inspection/Health Inspection was conducted in October. There were minor infractions (missing CPR card) and zero major infractions. MAC is in compliance with all regulations. The inspector was impressed with the size of MAC and how well the inspection went. Hardship appeal will be made based on Montessori items. Full report to be sent to BOD. Other items:
i. External Audit being conducted. More details to follow.
ii. Grand Peoples Day – need volunteers to assist with directing traffic. First GPD so will be a learning experience.
iii. PMAC – Lauren Andrews will be the PMAC chair.
iv. Marketing event was held at a 5280 event. Potential parents attended and also representatives from other schools. New MAC marketing material was put together by RB for the event and will also be used for potential MAC families.
v. Parenting Safe Children workshop – approximately 40 parents attended. Entire staff was also trained in September. All staff members are now using the correct words in regard to body safety rules and are following the lessons learned in the workshop.
- 5. 2010/2011 Committee Structure and Reports
- Committee Participation is encouraged for all MAC BOD members. Descriptions and goals for committees are the responsibility of the committee chair. Review of descriptions and goals will be a BOD Retreat agenda.
- Committee List:
i. Executive Committee (President, VP, Treasurer, Secretary)
- Typically meet Tuesday before the board meeting. Board members are welcome to attend. Email the BOD President if you would like an item added to the agenda.
ii. Finance Committee (Chair: Farnsworth)
- Help ED with budget, review finances, review audit, participate with auditor, how the school is functioning on a financial basis.

- Recruiting, voting, etc.

- 6. BOD Other Updates
- BOD Calendar has been updated. To be posted on MAC BOD Calendar. Details to follow.
- Fundraising: Day-Richter needs volunteers to help out on committee. Open items for the committee:
i. Limited capabilities at MAC (no prior donor database, how to recognize donors). eTapestry has been evaluated.
ii. Want to adjust MAC culture to a fundraising environment. Want to give training on fundraising. BOD training at retreat and ongoing to ensure BOD is up to date on fundraising.
iii. Questions that need to be answered on policies and procedures around fundraising. One goal of the committee is to create a fund development plan – currently flows from strategic plan.
iv. Upcoming fundraising opportunity with Grand Parent's Day (November 12, 2010).
v. Reviewed the CO Child Care Contribution Tax Credit. Consult your tax advisor for additional details. The contribution will be a general donation to MAC and not to an individual classroom.

- 7. Adjourn

Conference Realignment And SB Nation's Realignment Value Rankings
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
But the bigger issue hasn't changed much for the Pirates, who have more fans and generally more football success than any of their peers but can't make an upgrade in conference status. The ACC and Big East don't think ECU has enough of a television market base to justify getting a bid. If traditional athletic logic carried any weight, the Pirates long ago would have been in the ACC or the Big East. But since conference leaders in the ACC and Big East care more about annexing television markets than programs and fan bases with true regional athletic substance, the Pirates can't catch a break.Never change, Caulton. Never change.

Today's weather forecast: A Brief Respite
It's generally assumed that up-and-coming artists 'starve' for their work, but how many can claim they've been shot? Chris Burden—the L.A.-based artist whose Urban Light, his 2008 installation of some 200 street lamps that forms the entryway to the L.A. County Museum of Art and has become a symbol of Los Angeles—can. This video captures Shoot, Burden's 1971 performance-art piece in which he has a friend shoot him at close range with a rifle.
Burden survived, and with works like Urban Light and this year's Metropolis II (the making of which is documented below), he moved from the frayed edge to the sparkling center of L.A.'s art establishment.
Want to know more? Read RJ Smith's "The Sculptor of Dreams," a definitive profile of Burden that appears in our November issue, on newsstands now.

Registration for Villa Academy's Summer Program is now open!
Please visit the Summer Program Class Openings page for registration and course descriptions.
February 27 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Parlor
Book clubs are great motivators to actually finish a book. So, check this one out of the library and plan to finish before the end of February. Villa parents will gather in the Parlor for an evening of discussion about Richard Louv's latest book, The Nature Principle. His first book on this subject, The Last Child in the Woods, started an international movement to reconnect children with nature. Now, Louv reaches even further with a call to action for the rest of us. Supported by groundbreaking research, anecdotal evidence, and compelling personal stories, Louv shows us how connecting with the natural world can boost mental acuity and creativity; promote health and wellness; and build smarter and more sustainable businesses, communities, and economies. It should be an interesting read and interesting evening talking about what we thought of it.
This event is for Villa parents.
Childcare will not be provided.
Next week Catholic schools throughout the United States, will celebrate Catholic Schools Week. This week provides a special opportunity to recognize and celebrate the unique mission of Catholic schools: Faith. Academics. Service!
As part of this special week, Villa's first graders will be leading a coin drive to benefit "Team Gleason", a non-profit organization aimed at providing individuals with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – Lou Gehrig's Disease) and other muscular diseases with the care they need to continue to lead extraordinary lives. It also aims to raise public awareness of ALS. Villa Academy's first-graders hope that their coin drive can assist "Team Gleason" in meeting these goals.
Steve Gleason, a native of Spokane, Washington, founded "Team Gleason." Steve was an exceptional athlete at his Catholic high school, Gonzaga Prep, and went on to play football and baseball at Washington State University. During Steve's years on the football team, the Cougars won the Pac-10 Conference title and went to their first Rose Bowl in 67 years. Upon graduating from college in 2000, Steve was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Indianapolis Colts and later played for the New Orleans Saints. As a special teams player, Steve may be best known for blocking a punt against the Atlanta Falcons (recovered for a Saints' touchdown) in the Saints' first game in the New Orleans Superdome following Hurricane Katrina. Steve retired from the Saints in 2008. In January 2011, Steve was diagnosed with ALS.
Steve has spent much of his adult life giving back to those in need – lessons he learned in Catholic schools. In 2003, he founded the "One Sweet World Foundation," which focuses on literacy and environmentalism. Through this organization, Steve launched "Backpacks for Hope" which provided nearly $500,000 in backpacks and school supplies to Hurricane Katrina's school age victims. Steve is also known for repeatedly growing his hair long and then donating it to "Locks of Love."
Steve's commitment to service exemplifies Villa Academy's "tradition of educating compassionate hearts." Steve was recently inducted into the Gonzaga Prep Hall of Fame, where he had this to say about his Catholic education:
"I learned what football coaches call the intangibles; the tools that really matter in life. I learned how to think for myself. I learned how to work with others. I learned how to live my life with purpose, as God intended. I learned how to listen. I learned to be open-minded. At Prep, I learned what Jesus meant when he said, 'You will love your neighbor as yourself.' When I was assigned to the Vanessa Behan crisis nursery for (Junior Class) community service, what I expected to be my burden turned out to be my joy. After a semester playing with these kids who, despite their family circumstances, are able to play and dream and imagine a jungle gym right into a pirate ship and a plastic bucket of pebbles into a treasure chest, I was able to experience Jesus' words first hand. The friendships I found and created at Gonzaga Prep also shaped the mold for the rest of my life."
The first-graders at Villa would like to show their support for "Team Gleason" by conducting a school-wide coin-drive and are hoping that all will support their special project. During Catholic Schools Week, Ms. McFarland's class, along with Ms. Fisher's class, will circulate among the school building collecting change from administrators, staff members, faculty and students. Can you help?
February 2 from 7:00 to 9:00 in the Parlor
Julie Metzger, famous for her Children's Hospital classes, will review the latest research on social dynamics to help kids communicate effectively and build healthy relationships to navigate such things as not getting invited to a birthday party or being teased at recess. It can be challenging in the moment to know how to help our children communicate effectively and build healthy relationships. Come hear a review of latest research on social dynamics of children and strategies for kids and parents.
This event is free, open to the public and for parents of children in 2nd through 8th grade.
Childcare will not be provided.

Happy Land
"Not yet," he concedes. "They just go to prison. But whenever a case comes to our council, we try to view the situation as compassionately as possible�with an understanding for motivations like anger, jealousy, and passion�and see if it can be settled through mutual understanding. We call the petitioner who has made the appeal and allow him to speak his mind. Then we explain ways to come to an understanding or agreement, based on Buddhist principles. The plaintiff gets 10 days or two weeks, and during this time, they try to think and discuss the matter with people who can give them good advice. In many cases, it works."
This perspective on the law is intriguing, as it seems to depersonalize crime. The act of judgment becomes an opportunity for Buddhist practice and spiritual growth. How might our society change, I wonder, if we tried to view criminal acts�from sexual abuse to terrorist bombings�through the lens of compassion rather than disgust or vengeance? Our penalties might remain stiff, but our ability to deflect future crimes would be far greater.
"The obstacles to Gross National Happiness," declares Kuensel editor Kinley Dorji, "are the obstacles to Bhutan." We're sitting in the Swiss Caf�, lunching on samosas and apple juice. I'm expecting Dorji to focus on Bhutan's two thorniest political crises. Assamese militants in the jungly south, fighting for a homeland, have been crossing the border and attacking India from inside Bhutan. New Delhi has threatened reprisals, but Bhutan is trying to reason with the rebels. (As this story went to print, the tiny Bhutanese army had actually engaged the insurgents in armed conflict.) Then there's the embarrassing matter of some 100,000 Nepalese refugees, many of whose families lived in Bhutan for generations. These people were booted from Bhutan in the late 1980s, after census figures suggested they would eventually outnumber the indigenous Drukpa. Most are now in dingy camps in southern Nepal.
But Dorji's chief concern turns out to be television�an indomitable force, introduced to Bhutan just five years ago and coming "almost as an aerial invasion." When satellite TV arrived in 1999, Dorji says, Kuensel received letters from distressed children who had gotten a dose of the World Wrestling Federation. "We're talking about a generation of kids brought up in a strong Buddhist environment," he says. "Now they were writing to us saying, �Why are these grown men beating each other so mercilessly? Why?' They were very disturbed." Dorji sighs. "Today, of course, they accept it."
This is something of an understatement. All over Thimpu, I notice kids wearing T-shirts that feature stars of the WWF flooring one another with gleeful smackdowns. Baywatch and MTV T-shirts are equally popular. There's little doubt that violent and explicit shows affect social behavior, especially that of young men. During my stay, a Western woman was molested while walking alone through Thimpu�the first time something like that had occurred, an aid worker tells me. "The values instilled by our parents, the oral tradition, grandfathers' stories around the fire at night�that's what television has replaced," Dorji declares.

GALESBURG, Ill. -- A study out of Knox College suggests girls as young as six years old are finding value in appearing "sexy".
Researchers at Knox College used paper dolls in a study of 6- to 9-year-old girls.
They asked the girls which dolls they wanted to play with or look like, and the majority chose a more scantily clad doll most often.
Seventy-two percent of the girls also figured the "sexier" doll would be more popular than a doll that was slightly more covered up.
Interestingly, girls who were involved in a dance studio chose the non-sexualized doll more often. Researchers say dance and other sports may be associated with a better body image in females.

It has been a very long past five years for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. According to ESPN Stats & Information, their 33-47 record in that time frame ranks tied for 24th in the NFL in win percentage. They didn't even make the playoffs the two times they were above .500 in those campaigns, and their current five-year playoff drought is the team's longest postseason disappearance since a 14-year drought before the 1997 season.That type of recent competitive trajectory can place a damper on even the team's most enthusiastic supporters, but the truth of the matter is Tampa Bay's dark days may be ending soon. In fact, there are multiple reasons to think the Bucs are a strong contender for at least 10 wins and a 2013 NFC playoff spot.

From inspirational quotes and images on Tumblr and Pinterest to the strict gender roles enforced by many religions, it is clear that many people like being told how to perform their gender. Self-help books like "Men Are from Mars…", "Rules of a Lady" graphics, and even gendered advertising create the gender rulebooks that surround us. They tell us how to be a man or a woman, alienating all other expressions of gender and creating an environment in which people are punished for violating these societal codes. Though working against these gender rulebooks has been a major project of the feminist movement, it is not always easy to write off such deeply inscribed roles.
A Crystal Light ad clearly targeting women: "Finally energy for the gender who invented 'multi-tasking'".
I am an atheist who fully understands why so many people believe in a higher power. I sometimes wish I was not so vehemently areligious, because I am able to recognize and understand the benefits that religion has for many people. Gender rulebooks have a similar pull for me. Challenging gender roles that have been surrounding you since before you can remember is exhausting, and sometimes all I want is for someone to tell me what to do so I don't have an identity crisis every family holiday when I realize that I'm helping my aunts and grandmother in the kitchen while all my male relatives are sitting on the couch watching sports on television.
As a feminist, I am supposed to abhor the rules and the stereotypes the society has created for women, but there are many times when I have wished that I had a gender rulebook. We see this struggle play out in popular culture. The rise of appreciation for the 1950's and 1960's, influenced by shows like Mad Men and a focus on vintage fashion comebacks, has brought a similar rise in sexism nostalgia. Many people express a desire to go back to a certain era when things were "simpler" and "men did x" and "women did y". Though we recognize that the Mad Men era was not a particularly good one for a black lesbian woman in New York City, that nostalgia through rose-colored, sexism-blind glasses does illuminate the conflicting struggle of feminism and our personal feelings about gender roles.
It is important for the feminist movement as a whole to recognize this struggle within every individual. We all identify as feminists in different ways. Our own personal gender expression is often influenced by the gender rulebooks that we either choose to follow or work against. My fourteen year-old sister will not call herself a feminist or accept the feminist ideas that I introduce to her. When I asked her why she doesn't like feminism, she replied: "I like being girly. I like pink and sparkley things." If that continues to be the roadblock between young women and feminism, I believe we have a big problem in the growth of the modern feminist movement.

PLATTSBURGH — An Ellenburg Depot man recently pleaded guilty to second-degree rape.
Joseph Burdo, 23, was sentenced by Clinton County Court Judge Kevin Ryan to six months in jail and 10 years of probation.
He was also required to register with the State Sex Offender Registry.
A stay-away order of protection was put in place. Burdo was also ordered to pay fines.
Assistant District Attorney Dominica Pedula prosecuted the case.
Burdo, she said, is registered as a Level 1 sex offender.
"(Level) 1 being the least likely to re-offend and 3 being the most likely to re-offend," Pedula said. "Level 3 is the most serious."
The D.A.'s Office could release no further details regarding the case due to its nature, she said.
Burdo's registration information was not listed on the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Service's online registry as of Wednesday.

Category: Scotland
Published: 20th Jul 2012 19:02:36
Scotland's biggest private landowner has required a large injection of foreign capital to restructure its property investment arm.
The Buccleuch Group, which owned half of Native Land, has had to cut its equity stake in a successor venture to only 10%, after an unnamed investor from the Persian Gulf took 45%.
The restructuring follows commercial property losses for Buccleuch.
The group reduced its stake for an undisclosed sum.
The Native Land management team has retained a 45% shareholding in the successor venture, Native Land Investments.
The new firm, which specialises in residential development in central London, will initially invest up to £500m in sites and projects there over the next two years.
In April the Buccleuch Group, which is based in Edinburgh, reported it had returned to a modest profit after hitting severe financial difficulties.
Buccleuch Property managing director David Peck said: "Buccleuch will remain an enthusiastic and committed participant under the new structure.
"We are operating in changing times and needed to ensure we had access to significant capital with a partner who will be fully aligned with the business, both financially and culturally.
"Buccleuch has a diverse portfolio and we are fortunate to be operating in a market where we see continued opportunity and growth."

Bristol Academy extends reach overseas with first foreign studentsWith the doors to its brand new £1million training centre officially open, one of the UK's leading apprentice training providers, Bristol based S&B Automotive Academy, is showcasing its world-class facilities by launching a series of foreign student exchanges for the first time in its 41-year history. To get a flavour of what life is like as an apprentice in the UK, the Academy hosted 16 apprentice engineers and bus drivers from the G9 Automotive College in Hamburg, Germany, as part of a Europe-wide vocational training initiative called the 'Leonardo Programme' with support from the European Social Fund. In a reciprocal arrangement, S&B will be sending nine apprentices to Germany during February 2012 so that they can get an appreciation of life in the automotive industry on the Continent. A further three German exchange groups are being planned for next year. Designed to assist the development of vocational skills and training across Europe, including work placements for trainees, the Leonardo Programme has a budget of €1.75bn, which is helping to encourage UK organisations to work with their counterparts abroad. In what is expected to be another challenging year for employers in the UK automotive sector, S&B's Chief Executive, Jon Winter, claims that the exchange initiative will bring many benefits to the Academy and its apprentices: "In a world of global automotive brands, it's important for our learners to understand the international context of the industry they have chosen to make their career. This new exchange programme will enable apprentices and Academy staff alike to achieve a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the automotive arena in Europe. With the Academy's influence also extending to the USA and Asia, there's every possibility that this initiative could move further afield in the future." Continued Winter: "The need for skilled technicians across the world is on the increase and we actively encourage our apprentices to look at broader horizons during their training. Many of them have already learned the phrase 'Vorsprung durch Gelehrtheit', quite simply, 'Advancement through learning." In the 2010/11 academic year, S&B doubled the number of successful Apprenticeships over the previous year with some 350 apprentices graduating from the Academy. At the same time, achievement levels reached an all-time high with an overall success rate of 85%. For those learners on the Advanced Apprenticeship three-year programme, success rates were even higher, at over 98%. PHOTO CAPTION: As part of their exchange visit, S&B Automotive Academy arranged for the German apprentices to visit Hampshire bus operator, Bluestar, at its Barton Park depot.
