CATEGORIES MoviesJustin Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, have been talking babies, according to On Air With Ryan Seacrest.
Seacrest revealed on his radio show that JT and Biel are thinking about trying for a baby after the singer/actor's Legends of the Summer Tour with Jay-Z and his just-announced solo tour have wrapped. Considering Timberlake's touring schedule runs until February 2014, don't expect the couple to announce any further baby news for at least another year -- especially since Timberlake has also recently signed on to play music producer Neil Bogart in the biopic "Spinning Gold."
Still, this is exciting stuff for Timberlake-Biel fans. Do you think JT will start a suit and tie clothing line just for babies? We hope so!

Miracle cure

Posted by Reviewer1521002 on Jul 14, 2011
Purchased at iHerb
I use this orally, but also as an amazing tooth paste (keeps tooth pain at bay - let it soak in), and add a bit of thickner (xanthan gum) to make the most awesome skin salve - mix slowly (no air bubble entrapment), preferably with a plastic spoon, which does miracles. One night treatment improved circles under my eyes. Dose not sting in open wounds and will accelerate healing like nothing you've ever seen ... plunged a cut finger directly in the powder .. it healed with no peeling at wound edges (never had that happen before) and no scaring. Do not pre-mix ... it oxidizes VERY quickly as soon as it hits water losing the extra electron that it donates to intracellular processes.
Not easy to take small doses - be mindful of vit C effects on hormones

This dissolves easy and has virtually no taste when mixed with water (slightly saline). However, even one eighth of a tsp is still more than I would like to take so this is not right for me. Suggest any woman struggling with hormonal issues avoid mega doses of vit C - it's a proven aromatase inhibitor and will therefore cause a decrease in estrogen (though obviously that can be advantageous when estrogen is too high). At higher doses it can cause a decrease in both estrogen and progesterone. I've read that amounts over approx 750mg can start to cause hormonal changes that may not be beneficial.

Sodium Ascorbate : a real help for gout sufferers

Purchased at iHerb
I find this product extremely useful. Within 24 hours I was able to notice the ph change. Within 7 days I noticed a change in my joints, skin, and digestion. On top of it all, I could really feel the difference all this was making. I have suffered from gout for 20+ years and getting a non-acidic form of Vitamin C that also increases body ph to basic is almost a miracle. This is a good natural way to treat gout and get the Vitamin C your body needs on a daily basis.
A miracle product!

I was on vacation and woke up with a tight chest, stuffy nose, and lost my voice. I took this at night before bed and woke up almost completely better the next morning. Normally when I get the tight chest and lose my voice, I feel bad for at least 4 days. I also gave it to my husband and kids and they didn't get sick. I love this stuff!!!

This Vitamin C is so far the best I've tried yet. Originally I was prescribed this supplement and it works great! I had a Tonsilitis throat infection and after taking 1 teaspoon everyday for 1 1/2 weeks, it naturally subsided without anti-biotics

Wow. All I can say is that I wish I knew of this place a long time before now. Thanks to madmanjf for the review that inspired me and my wife to check this place out. Having spent some time in Ireland I can say that the atmosphere of this place is spot on. This is one of the more authentic looking/feeling Irish pubs that I have been to in this country. The fact that we walked in to about 10 musicians playing some well done traditional Irish folk music was a great way to start the evening. Once they finished up there was then a revolving selection of Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly. Nice! To go from traditional Celtic offerings to Celtic punk make me extremely happy. Well done.
The food was well above average for a pub. We enjoyed some decent wings and the Irish spring rolls which were very tasty, if not artery clogging. My wife enjoyed her chicken sandwich with spinach and brie dip, and my burger with Irish bacon and cheddar was very tasty.
Now for the important stuff. I was very impressed by the 20+ tap selection. I enjoyed the Captain Lawrence Liquid Gold, Samuel Smith chocolate stout and DFH 60 minute Ipa. All were fresh and tasty. Among some other brews represented were Rogue Chipolte, Brooklyn Summer, Erdinger Hefe, Keegan Mothers Milk, Fullers Esb, and Ommengang Rare Vos among others. A very nice and varied selection.
For the most part the clientele was laid back and friendly. Service was prompt and detailed.
Great food, great atmosphere, great beer, and great Irish hospitality warms the cockles of this Irish heart. I will be back. Often!!

The Dubliner, located on Main Street on the outskirts of the City of Poughkeepsie, is one or two notches up from the typical Irish Pub.
The establishment is cozily decorated in red with beautiful furinture from Ireland. During the winter months, this is topped off by a burning fire in the fireplace.
For beer, the Dubliner recently expanded their tap selection to 20+ Lines.
The kitchen offers up pub food as well as an extended menu of terrific culinary entrees including daily entree specials.
While you can certainly find the typical beers of an irish pub, the ownership has gone out of their way to introduce stouts and porters and other styles from various micro/craft breweries not commonly seen in most bars.
My favorite appetizer would be the Irish Spring Rolls filled with Kraut, Corned-Beef and Mustard paired with a beer from Captain Lawrence.

Back when this joint opened in I want to say 2006 or so it was a cool quiet irish pub craft beer joint.
Then they got into club nights and dance and electro music with strobe lights and nothing but erdinger and sierra nevada seasonal.
They're closing now and it's probably because trivia nights where people do nothing but drink water and act like know it alls dont pay the bills.
They always had great friendly people working there and great food though can't hate on that at all.

It is stolen property you might not expect: a tiny, fuzzy kitten.
Her name is Callista. She disappeared from the Washington Humane Society shelter on New York Avenue in Northeast this past Sunday.
Employees concluded that somebody may have just walked right out the door with her. They reported it to D.C. police.
Investigators gathered all the evidence - including surveillance video and sign-in sheets. Within hours, they recovered her at a house.
Police say they have made no arrests, but do have a person interest.
Callista is eight weeks old and she will be available for adoption soon. There is already a long line, but don't worry, there are other options.
"She's very lucky," says Lisa LaFontaine, CEO of the Washington Humane Society. "She's got a whole line of people and what I would say is we have a long line of kittens. If people are touched by her story, we have another 200 kittens and probably another 150 or so dogs who are looking for loving homes."

Jamaica | Spreading Ja love from the left wing
Ali G, the edgy hip-hop persona of British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, offers this rhyme:
I am Boutros Boutros-Ghali
Put down your gun
and listen to Bob Marley.
Listening to Bob Marley has been the theme at the monthlong Africa Unite celebration of Marley's 60th birthday in Addis Ababa. We are disappointed, but not surprised, that organizers canceled a match scheduled between the Ethiopian national team and world all-stars on Feb 9.
Fixture congestion has become serious with league, cup, Champions League, international matches and, earlier this week, with the Football for Hope match for tsunami relief.
Marley's connections with football have been well-documented. He played as a midfielder, usually on the left, and seems often to have engaged journalists through football. Paul Alessandrini, for example, a French journalist, tells Marco Virgona of bobmarleymagazine.com that he had once tried to interview Marley after a show in Amsterdam, but did not have success until proposing a soccer match.
I proposed to play soccer during his next visit in Paris [May 1977]. The interview was published in Rock & Folk magazine. In 1992, when I visited Hope Road in Kingston, that cover (and my interview) was hung on the wall of [Marley's] house. We played soccer on a synthetic ground next to Hilton Hotel in Paris and the Tour Eiffel. There were the Wailers, four or five rock critics and a team with actors, artists and Francis Borrel, at that time the president of Paris St. Germain. We won 4–0. I saw Bob again in 1980 in Kingston. … We again played soccer in the yard. He said: "Football is music."
The May 1977 match in Paris, if accounts are accurate, is significant for another reason. Before halftime Marley had to leave with a recurring injury to his toe. The toe problem continued to nag him and, disregarding advice from doctors, Marley declined treatment. (Other accounts have Marley injuring his toe during another game in Britain, also in 1977.) He continued to play football, however, and made a much-celebrated trip to Brazil in March 1980 (Leo Vidigal, "Bob Marley in Brazil," rootzreggae.com).
The visit was to help launch a record label. Marley did not perform but played football at the home of Brazilian music legend and writer Chico Buarque. Marley received a Pelé Santos jersey and led an attacking side that won 3–0. "Rivelino, Jairzinho, Pelé … Brazil is my team," Marley said. "Jamaica likes soccer because of Brazil."
It is not known when Marley last played football. What turned out to be cancerous growth in his foot spread to his lungs and brain. Marley died in Miami on 11 May 1981, sometimes watching football tapes with friends during the illness. He was 36 when he died.

in Ukraine we just call them "шкідливі звички", which is literally translated as "harmful habits"... But what about English?

UMaine political scientist Mark Brewer commented in a story on the Daily Beast website about the Maine GOP caucus. Brewer said because of the tight national race for the Republican presidential nomination, every delegate is going to count, which was why candidates like Ron Paul and Mitt Romney felt they could not ignore Maine. Before the caucus results were announced, Brewer told Reuters that Maine's strong libertarian streak should mean Paul can generate a mass of enthusiasm.

The states top lawyer is being asked whether an agencys financial commitment to finish the disputed Mark Clark Expressway in Charleston was legal and whether other state agencies could use the same methods to spend money.
In a letter this week to Attorney General Alan Wilson, Rep. Robert Brown, D-Charleston, asked whether the state Infrastructure Bank could legally commit future bonding capacity for the more than $500 million project.
The state Infrastructure Bank is a tiny, independent road-funding agency that has committed billions of dollars for major highway projects in South Carolina, including Carolina Bays Parkway in Horry County. It is not a part of the state Department of Transportation.
Several bills have been filed in the Legislature this year to dissolve the Infrastructure Bank board and assign its duties to the DOT, including one filed Thursday in the S.C. House by Rep. Ralph Norman, R-York.
Board critics say it has sent most of the money it controls to Charleston, Horry and Greenville counties. Counties such as Richland have gotten little or nothing from the bank. Boosters of the bank say it was only responding to requests and the need for major highway projects.
Rep. Nelson Hardwick, R-Surfside Beach, said the bills are another move by environmental groups and other organizations upstate to take away Horry Countys ability to build new roads.
He referenced the proposed Interstate 73, a highway that would bring interstate access to the Grand Strand and employee around 29,000 people.
Were a have-not. We dont have ours yet, Hardwick said.
Rep. Mike Ryhal, R-Myrtle Beach, said if the Infrastructure Bank goes away, its just one more avenue where the Grand Strand is going to struggle.
If we lose that mechanism, we have to go back to the drawing board, Ryhal said.
The banks director of operations, Debra Rountree, said counties apply for matching funds to help with their road projects. The Carolina Bays Parkway extension and the Conway bypass, which starts at Aynor and runs parallel to U.S. 501 on S.C. 22, are the two major Horry County projects the bank has given money to, she added.
Rountree said she couldnt comment on the bills because she hasnt talked with the authors to understand their positions.
In August, the state Infrastructure Bank agreed to provide up to $150 million in future bonding capacity to complete the extension of the Mark Clark Expressway. The Infrastructure Bank already had committed $420 million and was out of current borrowing capacity.
Freeway boosters said the decision means a badly needed road will be built, but the move drew criticism from others who said the freeway extension is too expensive, unneeded and environmentally damaging.
Browns request for an attorney generals opinion is an attempt to settle legal questions that arose from the bank boards decision, he said Thursday. Brown wants to know whether other South Carolina agencies can make the same future bonding commitments.
Wilson spokesman Mark Powell said the attorney generals office has received the request, but such opinions usually take time.
Critics have likened the Infrastructure Banks action to that of someone whose credit cards are maxed out, who then promises to pay on credit in the future after the bills are paid down.
We are spending money we dont have and now we are borrowing our grandchildrens money, Brown told The State. Browns request also contains other legal questions tied to the controversial Charleston County project.
The Sun News reporter BRAD DICKERSON contributed to this report.

Product review: Windows Server 2008 is the host with the most, and the perfect guest
Microsoft's slimmer and stronger server OS, bolstered by virtualization, networking, and security advances, is an upgrade that IT can't refuse, a 200-pound gorilla that eats commercial Linux
One road you won't need to take to slenderize Windows Server 2008 is to run it as a 32-bit (x86) OS instead of 64-bit (x64). You've heard hype that the overhead of going to 64 bit, especially for virtual guests, is substantial enough to blow x64 off unless you know you need access to a 64-bit virtual address space (as if that knowledge were easy to come by). Dismiss this as noise. The 32-bit server OS is the HD DVD of IT, even for virtual guests. It's time to step into the future.
To put a fine point on the virtues of Windows Server 2008's trimmer physique, consider that I ran the x64 Windows Server 2008 Standard on an Apple MacBook Pro, running as a 64-bit virtual guest under VMware Fusion software virtualization for OS X. Of MacBook Pro's 2GB of RAM, I reserved 512MB for Windows Server 2008. I made just one allowance for Windows Server 2008: I installed it on an off-board 18GB FireWire-powered hard drive. To be honest, that was for me. I wanted a blinky light that showed me how hard Windows Server 2008 was hitting the drive.
Seen from one perspective, Microsoft wants to reach out to and play nice with Linux. Subsystem for Unix Applications (SUA) is bundled with Windows Server 2008 Standard, Enterprise, and Datacenter, and all Windows Server 2008 SKUs can compile and run many open source and commercial x86/x64 operating systems, OS X being a notable exception. Microsoft's decision, albeit one made under legal duress, to publish its proprietary APIs and protocols should make Linux developers and users of freeware Linux distributions ecstatic.
Seen another way, Microsoft has executed Windows Server 2008 in a way that makes commercial Linux far less appealing. In those places where Linux might be seen as a good fit for its performance and small footprint, any Windows Server 2008 SKU, including the painlessly priced Windows Server 2008 Web and the Windows Server Core license that rides along with all Windows Server 2008 SKUs, all but slams the door shut on Linux in a Windows shop; Linux is just an impossible sell in Windows shops. That's not because Microsoft has exerted some evil monopolistic power over the enterprise OS market, but because Microsoft made the IT-friendly technical, licensing, and packaging decisions that leave very few gaps, if any, left to fill.
Many children at your service
The Hyper-V hypervisor (currently beta, due Q3) and virtual machine management tools baked into Windows Server 2008 Standard will go a long way toward taking Microsoft server virtualization beyond a poor man's alternative to VMware. Windows Server 2008 casts off a cumbersome, high-overhead, heavyweight virtual machine manager model in favor of a wafer-thin, host-optimized hypervisor. This does not take away the substantial value that VMware, Virtual Iron, Citrix/XenSource, and other serious virtualization players add to large-scale enterprise operations that might have thousands of virtual instances running at once. But Microsoft's virtualization has three unique advantages: It costs nothing, its administration is integrated into Microsoft's other server management tools, and Windows Server 2008 is the only host OS it needs to support. In that last case, Windows shops derive a serious performance and scalability kick from the fact that Microsoft's virtualization is proprietary.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence put the spotlight on Indiana in this week's national GOP address. The governor discusses the negative consequences of Obamacare on premiums in Indiana and how the Healthy Indiana Plan provides a solution to the nation's health care problems.
Watch the address by clicking here or read the transcript below.
"Hello, I'm Indiana Governor Mike Pence.
"These are difficult days for too many Americans. Our economy isn't growing as fast as we would like, and businesses aren't creating as many jobs as we need. In states like Indiana, we're working every day to give people more freedom to grow their businesses, but the over-regulation, higher taxes and new mandates coming from Washington, D.C. are stifling our economy and hurting efforts being made in states across the country.
"Everywhere I go in Indiana, I meet business owners and workers who are in survival mode. They're trying to figure out how to survive the new normal of more regulations, higher taxes and the impending costs and mandates of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
"As implementation of this law gets closer, we are learning more about the burdens it will place on hardworking Americans. In Indiana, the Affordable Care Act will raise the average cost of health insurance in the individual market by an unaffordable 72 percent.
"In addition, the Obama Administration is creating confusion in the marketplace, from its suspension of the cap on out-of-pocket expenses, to providing subsidies without verifying income, to a one-year suspension of the employer mandate, this health care law is weighing down our economy. It's costing jobs, discouraging investment and making the future bleak for too many families.
"But there is an alternative to waiting on Washington, D.C. to come to its senses and more Americans are realizing every day that the cure for what ails this country is starting to emerge... not in our nation's capital but in our nation's state capitals.
"All across this country, 30 Republican governors are working hard to push back and preserve freedom. While Washington raises taxes, Republicans governors are cutting them. As Washington stifles job growth by adding new regulations, Republican governors are adding jobs by eliminating unneeded regulations and bringing fresh approaches to some of the nation's greatest challenges.
"Nowhere is this more true than in health care. Here in Indiana, we run a nationally-recognized program called the Healthy Indiana Plan. The Healthy Indiana Plan offers the uninsured an affordable health care plan with savings accounts that they control. Giving people in Indiana more freedom and more responsibility over their health care has improved outcomes and now 95 percent our plan's enrollees are satisfied with their coverage. This is a perfect example of the truth that by letting freedom and personal responsibility work together, you reduce the need for government. Republican governors understand this truth, and the proof is in our results. In balanced budgets, lower taxes and less regulation that's promoting job growth.
"These are tough times, and this health care law may make them tougher still. That's why we should always remember on whose shoulders we stand-- and never forget as President Reagan reminded us, that 'the states that created the federal government, the federal government didn't create the states.' Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom. They were right then, and as Republican governors are proving every day, they are even more right now. More freedom and flexibility for the principled leadership emerging in states across this nation can and will promote good healthcare and a healthy economy.
"Thanks for listening."

When she came to Virginia Tech in 1997, Associate Professor of Psychology Angela Scarpa was eager to dive into clinical research and teaching in her field of expertise: childhood violence and victimization. But when her second child, Hugh, was diagnosed with autism just before his second birthday in 2003, her professional track took a new direction.
"I began to look around for services in the area to help him and found that there was not much available that was based on scientifically sound autism research," Scarpa said. "I also learned that autism itself is on the rise and that more and more children are being diagnosed and need services."
Autism is a complex developmental disability that affects the normal functioning of the brain, impacting development in the areas of social interaction, learning, and communication skills. Autism is a spectrum disorder; it affects each individual differently and at varying degrees.
In recent years, the diagnosis of autism has broadened to include five disorders that fall under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as one in 110 children is diagnosed with some autism spectrum disorder, which is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the country.
Before starting the Virginia Tech Autism Clinic, Scarpa conducted a needs assessment across the state, and her suspicions were confirmed.
"We found there was a huge need for services in the area," Scarpa said, "especially behavior therapy and diagnostic services and assessments."
With the help of donations from a private donor, as well as from the Community Foundation of the New River Valley and the Children's Shelter Endowment Fund, Scarpa and her team of graduate students opened the Virginia Tech Autism Clinic in fall 2005. Since then, the clinic has grown and now includes another faculty member, Co-Director Susan White, who is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology.
Each week, several children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, visit the clinic for social skills group therapy. Ranging from 8 to 10 years old, these children exhibit some of the many social and/or behavioral challenges the disability can cause. They may have speech and language problems; they may exhibit odd, ritualistic-like behaviors; or they may talk incessantly about one subject. Some may find life so challenging that, at times, they lose their desire to interact and become isolated or withdrawn.
The center also offers a group for children ages 5 to 7 that uses cognitive behavioral tools to teach them how to manage strong emotions such as anxiety and anger.
"We treat the child at his or her level of needs," Scarpa said, "whether it is functional language, social skills, self-control, or stress and anger management. We also aim to empower families and professionals to work with the children in their natural settings and in their daily routines so that the amount of learning time is maximized."
The clinic, which is staffed by eight graduate students, receives about 50 referrals per year.
In addition to treatment, diagnosis, and community outreach, the clinic is involved in multiple studies on autism.
There's no question autism can be a confusing, frustrating, even frightening disorder for parents, teachers, and caregivers. And for the child with an autism spectrum disorder, the world itself can be an equally confusing, frustrating, and frightening place. The Virginia Tech Autism Clinic is making a big impact on alleviating some of these challenges so the future looks much brighter for these children and their families.
"The most rewarding thing for me is knowing that we can help people and families in the area who wouldn't otherwise have a place to turn," Scarpa said. "I feel like each one of the kids who comes to the clinic is my child, and I want to treat them that way and give them the best services they can get."

Dr. Lin established the Vascular Biology Section with the MCGP at the Center for Cancer Research in August, 2010.
The Vascular Biology Section is headed by Dr. P. Charles Lin who joined the MCGP in August, 2010. Vascular biology plays a vital role in the progression of many debilitating diseases including: cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Vascular disease is the most common cause of death and disability in Western societies. Understanding the vascular system is critical in the war against these diseases. Research in Dr. Lin's laboratory centers on the mechanisms that govern blood vessel formation (angiogenesis) and vascular homeostasis in cancer. Vascular networks form to satisfy the metabolic demands of tissue growth during development. When we reach adulthood, the vascular endothelium becomes quiescent. However, under disease conditions, this delicate balance is disturbed and endothelium is reactivated. What distinguishes physiological angiogenesis during normal growth from pathological angiogenesis in diseases is an important question, which has major implications in therapeutic interventions. Dr. Lin's group believes the major difference is inflammation. Their working hypothesis is that tissue injury/insult leads to inflammation, which then triggers pathological angiogenesis. To this end, they are focusing on the interaction between inflammation and pathological angiogenesis, which offer the potential to preferentially target angiogenesis in disease conditions and spare normal blood vessels. Dr. Lin's group combines genetic and biochemical approaches, in vitro, three-dimensional organotypic culture and animal models as well as non-invasive imaging technology, to dissect the molecular mechanism in angiogenesis and vascular homeostasis in cancer. The current research focuses on three areas: 1). Role of myeloid suppresser cells in regulation of the tumor microenvironment with a focus on angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. 2). Vascular integrity and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) in tumor progression. 3. Exploring the genetic differences in vasculature between human and other species.

Looks to me like the real thing. Thanks for the posting, Christopher.
That's a beauty!
As if someone took the softest paintbrush to fill in the gaps in the most gentle way possible.
I love this crop circle. I'm thinking of the element of fire.
Most exquisite! Thank you, gifted artisans for sharing!
Thanks Christopher.
A beautiful pattern.
spiritually artistic
reminds me of Native American or Pennsylvania Dutch sacred symbols. Beautiful.
You are so right, Faith. I, too, was thinking Native American--hadn't thought about the PA Dutch, but you're right on target. I live in PA and have seen some of these symbols. In fact, a friend had one on a building on her farm.
This is a beautiful crop circle. Thanks Chris, L&L, D
I was thinking the same thing Faith
Love it and like Faith, I get a Native American influence. I'm also getting Quetzalcoatl because I remember around the time that one appeared, I'm sure we had similar designs.
: This one's positively BURSTING with radiance!
Stunning. Thank You Christopher.

Richard Marszalek went missing just before the new year, and now his niece is desperate for information into his disappearance.
Marszalek, 61, was living in a home off West Spearman Road in Westminster when he disappeared. Shortly after he went missing, his niece, Courtney Beasley, went over to the home to check on him. There was no sign of her uncle.
"His shoes were under the table and his vest and his jacket were on the chair ... he don't go anywhere without his vest or his jacket," said Beasley.
She said she and her uncle were very close, talking on the phone multiple times a day. She said he was living with other people.
Bizarrely, the home he was living in burned to the ground just six days after he went missing. Beasley said she suspects foul play, but Oconee County deputies said they have no evidence to support that.
"I'm hoping he's just missing, and I pray to God that he's still alive, but something deep down tells me he's not," said Beasley in tears.
"At this point we're unsure if there was any foul play involved. We are still currently investigating," said Chief Deputy Kevin Davis.
Beasley thinks there is more to the story of his disappearance and she believes close friends may know more than they are sharing.
"If he's out there and he's still alive, I just want him to come home," she said.
If you have any information on Marszalek's whereabouts, call 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Cardinals lose defensive backs coach Townsend to Mississippi State
The Arizona Cardinals will have at least one more position to fill on their coaching staff.
Deshea Townsend, who just finished his second season as the team's assistant defensive backs coach, is leaving to be the defensive backs coach at Mississippi.
He tweeted the news, more or less, Friday.
Go Dawgs!!!! It's Official!!!— Deshea Townsend (@desheatownsend) January 11, 2013
Townsend was added to the Arizona staff shortly after defensive coordinator Ray Horton was hired. While some may view his defection as a sign Horton is not going to replace Ken Whisenhunt as head coach, it could just be a chance for Townsend to progress in his career as a coach.

Author's Comments:
"Jacob Vigdor's From Immigrants to Americans is a lucid analysis of a central and enduring issue in our society. No other recent study of this subject matches it in economic sophistication and historical depth. It is enriched by an abundant supply of graphs and tables, allowing readers to assess for themselves the evidence upon which the author's interpretations rest."—Stephan Thernstrom, Winthrop Research Professor of History, Harvard "Jacob Vigdor has written a must-read book on immigrant assimilation. The book examines a wide range of issues relating to the assimilation experience. It is sure to become a standard reference in this increasingly important social policy issue."—Geroge Borjas, Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School Winner, 2010 IPUMS Research Award
This book evaluates the assimilation of immigrants in the United States between 1850 and 2007, placing contemporary immigrants in historical perspective. It finds that on average, the path toward the American mainstream is traveled more rapidly by modern immigrants than it was by their predecessors a century ago. The average does not tell the whole story, however. Some contemporary groups exhibit extraordinary rates of naturalization and economic progress, while others lag behind to an extent never before witnessed. The lack of legal status is a major impediment to assimilation for many of these groups.

We now stand just 12 days from the non-waiver trading deadline, and Zack Greinke is still a member of the Milwaukee Brewers. Will he continue to be there for the rest of 2012, and possibly beyond?
There's no movement anywhere, says Jon Morosi:
It doesn't appear there has been much dialogue between the Brewers and representatives for Greinke since spring training. As of Wednesday afternoon, there was no evidence that the team had made the 28-year-old a formal offer. And there isn't much time left before the deadline for the sides to strike a deal.
Morosi says a Greinke deal could wind up being in the $100 million range for five seasons. But Greinke has been temporarily taken out of the Brewers' rotation:
Greinke will have gone 10 days without pitching by the time he makes his next scheduled start, Tuesday in Philadelphia. Team officials concluded he needed to "(recharge) his batteries" after starting three consecutive games.
Of course, two of those games had the All-Star break in between them, and he was ejected from the third after just four pitches. It's a mystery what the Brewers are doing with him; Morosi points out:
One argument in favor of spending that much on Greinke is that the Brewers are high on a number of the organization's homegrown starting pitchers: Mike Fiers, Tyler Thornburg, Jed Bradley, and Taylor Jungmann. If enough of them pan out, the Brewers could have multiple low-cost starters for several years to come. That would enable them to carry Greinke's high salary without sacrificing quality in other areas of the club.
On the other hand, if those young pitchers are really that good, would you even need to spend that much on Greinke?
We should know more in less than two weeks. And for more on the Brewers, please visit Brew Crew Ball.

Clark College interim President Bob Knight and Clark College Foundation President Lisa Gibert celebrate the good news.
The Clark College Foundation rose to the challenge of raising $100,000 and surpassed expectations by generating more than $154,000 to exceed a challenge grant in support of education at Clark College.
In November 2006, the Foundation disclosed a $100,000 gift from an anonymous donor in the form of a challenge grant to stimulate giving to Clark College. According to Ara Serjoie, Vice President of Development at the Clark College Foundation, the donor was so impressed by the outcome that they made an additional donation of $32,000 to match the gifts beyond the $100,000 goal. Through the original donation, the appeal and matching funds, the Clark College Foundation has received approximately $286,000.
Of that total, $182,000 will go toward scholarships, including the creation of four new endowments to support scholarship programs on an ongoing basis. In addition, nearly $55,000 will support what the Foundation terms the "Areas of Greatest Need." Those donations are considered unrestricted money which means, as the name implies, that they can be used to address the greatest needs at the college. Similar donations in the past have helped to purchase computers for student computer labs, equipment for the Health and Physical Education Departments, tutoring resources for the Adult Literacy Program and emerging Adult Literacy; the Lewis D. Cannell Library; the Math, Physical Science and Engineering Unit; Mature Learning; and the Penguin Athletic Club.
Clark College Foundation President Lisa Gibert said, "I am absolutely delighted to see the response from our community to our End-Of-Year Appeal. The one-to-one match created a tremendous boost to our efforts and our donors truly met the challenge." Gibert added, "This support simply shows the value we place on education in our community. We will forever be grateful for the support and dedication of our donors and the investment they make in our students and their future."
Clark College Board of Trustees Chair Rhona Sen Hoss (seated) listens as Foundation Board Chair Jan Oliva describes what the donation and matching gifts will mean for Clark students.
The Clark College Board of Trustees, Clark College Executive Cabinet and Clark College Foundation Board of Directors all supported the effort with 100% participation. According to Gibert, that inspired giving from others at the college, including staff members in the Human Resources department who "donated to the match instead of doing a gift exchange, propelling their department into the 100% Giving Club." The Foundation will introduce giving clubs later this year as part of the Foundation's efforts to recognize, show appreciation, and thank donors.
Bob Knight, interim President of Clark College, said, "What a wonderful way to wrap up the year with such resounding generosity from our community on behalf of the people who benefit from our programs and students. We thank the Foundation for their outstanding work in support of this challenge gift, which will enable us to address the needs of the College and our students and provide the resources to ensure that Clark College continues to be an educational leader in Southwest Washington."
For additional information or to make a gift, contact the Clark College Foundation at 360-992-2104. Information about the Clark College Foundation is available on the Internet at www.clarkcollegefoundation.org .

It was only a matter of time after director D.J. Caruso closed the deal to direct the long-gesting comic adaptation "Preacher" last month that casting rumors would begin to surface, but who would've guessed they would be coming from the director himself.
Doing the press rounds in France where "I Am Number Four" will be opening next month, Caruso spilled on potential and apparently interested leads for the film telling Cloneweb (via /Film) Chris Pine, Shia LaBeouf and Alex Pettyfer are interested in the roles of Jesse, Arseface and the Saint Of Killers respectively.
But, let's just caution this for a minute. The project is still in early stages with John August still working on the script, so this one is not quite ready for cameras. Not to mention that Pine has "Star Trek 2" likely to take his time for the rest of the year, and LaBeouf and Pettyfer are circling their own/getting offered other projects as well. So, don't get too upset just yet "Preacher" fans.
Based on the comic book series created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, the story follows a possessed Texas preacher who teams up with a vampire on a quest to find God and hold him accountable for his negligence. Caruso realizes how thorny the potential subject could be and praises the studio for backing the picture saying, "It is a crazy road trip and I think what's amazing and what makes Sony so brave is they can see there's a real universality to the story when you have good vs. evil. I think when you have these crazy characters, that are not necessarily politically correct, there's something generally attractive to those characters and those elements. But at the end of the day it really is a story about good vs. evil and the decisions that you make. Whether the demons are going to win or whether the Genesis or the good inside of Jesse is going to be there. So I think there's a great universality that makes the movie commercial but at the same time it's one of those that will shock you."
As far as spilling on future projects at junkets go, Caruso breaks all the records. We're surprised how long he went on about the film, but clearly it's a project he's very excited about. You can watch the full interview below.
concerned | April 28, 2011 9:02 AM
The only problem with casting Alex Fairlypretty in the role of Saint of Killers is that the Saint of Killers isn't supposed to have a vagina. That and he's not supposed to be 14 years old. Hopefully the filmmakers will see this.
Sean | March 17, 2011 11:40 AM
I want to hear what Garth Ennis has to say about this adaptation. If anyone should be concerned, it should be him.
Maybe he should be one to consult about casting the right actors for the proper roles.
As for the choices. Pine is a decent choice. Shia as Arseface is not bad. The good thing is he'll be in heavy make-up, and it shouldn't be too hard to play an asshole. Or at least for Shia.
I'm on the "We Hate Alex Pettyfer" train here. Terrible choice, horrible actor.
I just wish DJ wasn't doing this.
On subject with the interview, they think comic books and graphic novels are different. To a certain degree they are. But in most cases, it's just a collection of issues in their particular story ark.
lobster | March 17, 2011 10:00 AM
wow, is this movie actually happening?
As a big preacher fan - I read this and hated it, but thought about it and maybe casting these guys doesn't sound too bad.
I obviously haven't seen "I am Number 4" or "Beastly' so I'm not gonna hate on that Pettyfer guy, seems a little young but really - give him long hair, a hat and some guns, and I'm sure he can scowl and shoot people. I'm more concerned with how they handle Jesse.
Connor | March 17, 2011 8:32 AM
I can definately see Chris Pine and maybe Shia. But Alex ? Hollywood really want this guy to get over with the audience.
Kevin Jagernauth | March 17, 2011 8:23 AM
Really glad someone appreciated that Shia pic. It's my new go-to Labeef photo.
happy | March 17, 2011 8:21 AM
thank you for using that shia picture twice today. made being at work on st pats half bearable.
and no on all things pettyfer. yuck.
Vicvard | March 17, 2011 7:48 AM
Pettyfer fo the saint of killers??? No no no please don't do this to the Preacher, Jesus Christ !
BenjaminVega | March 17, 2011 7:42 AM
I can maybe picture Chris Pine and Shia as Jesse and Arseface but Alex Pettyfer is about as wrong a choice for the Saint of Killers as you can possibly get

WLTI, Board Meeting and Champion of the Year Dinner Festivities
The Washington Leadership Training Institute, the board of directors' meeting and the Champion of the Year dinner all went beautifully.
WLTI definitely hit a new registration high with 314 attending representing 27 states and Puerto Rico. It took six buses just to get the group around. We had some great presenters, including top staff from the U.S. Department of Education to talk about the administration's Blueprint for reauthorizing career and technical education (CTE), congressional staff to talk about the outlook for Perkins, and experts on the Common Core State Standards Project and the Common Career Technical Core. And, we had exciting trainers and training for the students. It was a great five days.
The Champion of the Year dinner honoring Nick Pinchuk, Snap-on chairman and CEO was an outstanding event. We had over one hundred students join in the excitement. We also had super support from our own partners on the board and the Youth Development Foundation. There were also letters of congratulations from Assistant Secretary of Education and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor Jane Oates, Senators Herb Kohl, Ron Johnson, Mike Enzi and Mark Warner and from five U.S. Representatives. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker declared September 18 "Nick Pinchuk Day."
As part of the Champion of the Year festivities, there was a press conference at the National Press Club at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 18th. Nick Pinchuk spoke on the national imperative to prepare a skilled workforce and the importance of career and technical education and organizations such as SkillsUSA to close the gap. We know the word is getting out there. A reporter from Bloomberg News called last week and said: "I'm working on a story on the skills gap. I know the gap exists, now I want to know how to fix it. That's why I'm calling SkillsUSA." I spoke with the reporter for nearly an hour.

A second "Occupy Steubenville" rally held today in Ohio to demand action in an ongoing rape controversy certainly presents an unusual paradox. While those suspected of being complicit in the rape of a 16-year-old girl in August are well-known members of the community, many of the protestors have disguised themselves in the Guy Fawkes masks associated with the Anonymous movement, which specializes in computer hacking and operates under the chilling motto, "We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us." So … these are the good guys?

#KnightSec (@KYAnonymous) January 05, 2013
As the case stands now, two 16-year-old boys, Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond, were arrested and charged and face a Juvenile Court trial Feb. 13. Why the protests, then? (The first Occupy Steubenville rally was held Dec. 29.) Many in the community allege a cover-up and insist that more boys were involved but were protected because they are noted athletes at Steubenville High. Others question the judgment of the 16-year-old victim, who was reportedly in a state of blackout intoxication.

Outside observers such as Roseanne Barr, who has been a vocal supporter of Anonymous (and recently had changed her Twitter avatar to a Guy Fawkes mask with Roseanne features), say that racism is a factor in the arrests.
The victim is bi-racial-so are the two males under arrest-EVERY WHITE BOY ALLOWED TO WALK AWAY. @ImmortalTech #rapedrugs #racism—
Roseanne Barr (@TheRealRoseanne) January 05, 2013
Finally, add into the mix the element of social media, through which the early stages of the case played out in public. Mays' "before and after" tweets from August, for example, look like this.

2 Shanez! (@shane10008) January 04, 2013
The case eventually caught the attention of Occupy, and like it or not, the vast attention given to the group by the media and by politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama helped give the group a powerful brand to leverage. Fundraising by "Occupy Sandy" in response to the superstorm which devastated parts of New York and New Jersey was an early attempt by Occupy to show its influence in other areas. But among those tools that groups like Anonymous employ is hacking. A site run by a Steubenville football booster called "Roll Red Roll" was hacked, and its owner now says on the site's home page that it was hacked "simply to get attention and terrorize the Steubenville community."
It certainly did get attention, and while many mainstream media outlets (with the exception of the New York Times) have overlooked the case, it has attracted enough of a spotlight online that the city and its police department have launched a website called Steubenville Facts. So while groups like Anonymous have leaked a disturbing YouTube video of students mocking the victim, the police are countering from their own perspective, noting that "nothing in Ohio's criminal statutes makes it a crime for someone to ridicule a rape victim on a video" and that police "are often frustrated when they emotionally want to hold people accountable for certain detestable behavior but realize that there is no statute that allows a criminal charge to be made."

So even though suspects are in custody and a trial is scheduled, rallies such as the one today show that the public is hungry for more — but what? The fact that so many among that crowd are wearing the masks of a group known for hacking calls into question just to whom the police in Steubenville are considered accountable. Further, it leaves us wondering what cause will capture the attention of Occupy and Anonymous next — especially if those demanding a fair trial for the guilty aren't satisfied with the results.
I hope I have helped good people to bring attention to the justice system in Steubenville Ohio. I hope 4 arrests/ fair trials of the guilty.—

Lebanon's Cafe
1500 S Carrollton Ave
New Orleans, LA 70118
Napoleon's Rating - **/*****
New Orleans has a good deal of inexpensive Middle Eastern restaurants spread across its neighborhoods. They all do gyros, kebabs and falafel and go through pita bread by the pallet and hummus by the gallon. Lebanon's follows that same basic plan, but does it better than most. There's greater attention to detail and more variety on the menu. This is a low-cost choice for an adventurous meal of great flavors.
Lebanon's has an attractive dining room with great big windows facing Carrollton Avenue, a big mural of belly dancers and Middle Eastern scenes and various swords and hookah pipes laying around as décor. With Tulane and Loyola so close, it's common to see the room packed with college-age kids, and maybe a few of their professors. It's loud and bustling, especially when several tables are joined for a big party. The sidewalk tables outside are especially attractive when the weather is nice.
Service is about on par with the price and overall vibe of Lebanon's. The waitresses keep things snappy, and can give you at least cursory descriptions of the less-familiar menu items. They are basically there to ferry kebabs and hummus from the kitchen and supply glasses for BYOB wine service.
If you come with a few people, the combination appetizer platter is a good overview of the greatest hits, like hummus, baba ghanouj and grape leaves. But one of Lebanon's specialties is its array of less common dishes, like the musaha spread, a colorful, crunchy mix of peppers, celery, eggplant, sun-dried tomatoes and olive oil. Bathenjan is another spread, and it's smoky from roasted eggplant and spicy from garlic and jalapenos. Fried bulbs of kibby, or cracked wheat filled with ground beef, pine nuts and onions, are like little self-contained meatloaves.
Even if you come to Lebanon's with your heart set on a gyro sandwich or chicken kebab platter, check out the specials board first. One of the frequent specials is the musakka, which is a huge mound of basmati rice layered over with potato, eggplant and ground beef, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The shrimp kebab on the regular menu is also a good choice, with a dozen or so big shrimp charred a bit on the grill. Rack of lamb is the most ambitious (and expensive) entrée, but it's well worth it for this plate of glistening, well-seasoned chops. Of the more conventional Middle Eastern dishes, a good bet here is the beef shawarma, which is a little like fajitas, served on a sizzling plate with pita bread and salad.
Those who still manage to have much room left after dinner here usually get a piece of baklava, the sticky, honey-soaked squares of filo dough and walnuts.
Like many local Middle Eastern restaurants, Lebanon's serves no alcohol. So, like all those others, the house drink is Lebanese iced tea, flavored with rose water and sprinkled with pine nuts. From there, it's BYOB, with sturdy glasses and corkscrews provided for self-service of whatever you bring. There is no corkage fee, and this policy helps keep the bills low.
Value is a big appeal of Lebanon's. Practically all the appetizers are less than $5, and the same goes for most of the pita sandwiches. Most entrees are between $11 and $15. Portions are large and filling. Split an appetizer, bring your own wine, and two people can have a nice meal here for less than $35.
In a crowded field of competitors, Lebanon's goes above and beyond. The basics of its flavorful Middle Eastern cooking are well done, and lesser-known dishes become a real specialty. It suits the bill for a casual date, a family meal, a solo lunch or a big group of friends.
