Jimmy and Pavs are the two Wing choices. More after the jump.
So the way the contest will go down is each team has two players to choose from. Once one player from each team has been picked, they'll go into 2nd round. From there the top 16 vote getters will advance and enter into a bracket for the final round.
The first round voting opened this morning and will end on April 11. 2nd round will be from the 12th to the 22nd and the final round will go from April 24th to June 6th.
So here's the link to the SBN article which I got this info from: http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2012/3/29/2910683/nhl-13-cover-vote-ea-sports
And the actual NHL page where you can vote an unlimited number of times. http://covervote.nhl.com/:b=chrome/#/ballot
So now the question becomes: who do we pool our votes for? (Sadly TPH isn't an option otherwise this wouldn't even be a question) Since the first round is only between our two Wings we can take our time to decide. So to that end I'm hosting a poll which will end a week from now and after our horse has been decided we can start the vote spamming.
Even if you don't play or care about NHL games it's been forever since I've seen a Wing on the cover of an NHL game so please take the time out to vote at least once because you know some fanbase like say, Montreal's is going to put up a hell of a fight against.
And for the record, my votes with Dangles (sorry J-How!)

This is my personal favorite meatloaf recipe. The pureed vegetables really add a lot of moisture and flavor, as does the classic glaze. Besides the ingredients, the key to a great meatloaf recipe is cooking the meat to the right temperature. This is why I alway recommend a thermometer, instead of just going by time which can really vary.
Serves: 8
Serves: 8
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 carrot, peeled
- 1 rib celery
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper, seeded
- 4 white mushrooms
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80% lean)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup plain bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Cut the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, and white mushrooms into 1-inch pieces. Add to a food processor with the garlic, and pulse on and off until the vegetables are finely minced, but not quite a puree.
- In a sauté pan, on medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the vegetable mixture and sauté for about 5 minutes. The vegetables do not need to be completely cooked, as they are going to cook in the meatloaf, but we do want to give them a head start. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a large bowl add the ground chuck, the vegetables, and all the remaining ingredients except the breadcrumbs. Mix gently with your hands, for about 1 minute to start to incorporate the ingredients. Add the breadcrumbs and mix until everything is just combined, and then STOP. Do not over-mix! Remember, we still have to form the mixture into a loaf, which requires additional handling.
- Lightly grease the bottom of a shallow roasting pan with a few drops of olive oil. Wet your hands with cold water and form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape, about 6 inches wide, by about 3 to 4 inches high. Wet your hands again and smooth the surface so there are no cracks, which can cause a loss of moisture.
- Bake for 30 minutes. While it's baking combine the brown sugar, ketchup, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl for the glaze. After 30 minutes, remove the meatloaf from oven and evenly spread the glaze over the top with a spoon. If you like, you can paint a little of the glaze on the sides, but most of it should go on the top.
- Put back in the oven and continue baking until you reach an internal temperature of 155 degrees F. This should take another 35 to 45 minutes. Do not over cook. A good digital thermometer is the best tool for this procedure. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

It is a measure of how powerful the U.S. military is – and how poor the media is – that the nation wages war against peoples and countries it knows nothing about. How many of us know that many of the rebels in Libya don't want democracy but the old kingdom restored?

We the people are the enemy … "we" meaning the poor and the middle class. Black folks need no convincing, because racism and discrimination are continual indicators that their perceived enemy status is indeed real.

As pro- and anti-government forces battle for supremacy in the cities and deserts of Libya in North Africa, the tenor and tone of U.S./Western reporting puts the lie to the often heard claim of journalistic objectivity.

Sandra, once again, thanks for your quick response! I've certainly heard to stick to the 13-Ds in other blog sites as well and will do just that. Thank you again and I'm excited to get going, if it comes!
This is now my personal advice, not to be viewed as anything more than that, although I spent a year as an assessor back when the process was slightly different - the reason I reached out to my colleagues to answer your first question.
If your score on the written exam is sufficient for you to advance to the oral assessment, you will be scored against 13 dimensions. If you spend too much of your time emphasizing one or more of those dimensions and fail to demonstrate your knowledge, skills and abilities in the others, you will not score highly. If you score well on all the dimensions, no one will think you are in it just for the free travel.
Sandra Yeaman, thank you very much for the invaluable information! I will be sure to integrate examples from my time overseas into the PNs and after.
Another question since I have a live person (or anyone): in addition to my 4 yrs abroad with the Navy, I've spent in total a year independently traveling to 26 countries (W. Europe/E. Africa/Mexico) to see the sites, wildlife viewing, and learn Spanish. My question is: should I mention (maybe more to what degree?) this because in a way it could sound like I'm a wanderer/wanderlust/non-committal and my interest in State may look like a free ride to "wherever land?" Common sense would dictate me to say as much about my experience abroad as possible, but a good friend of mine raised the issue and I would rather be sure than not. Again, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Adam Race, I just got this response from my colleagues in the office at State that handles the Foreign Service Oral Assessments:
"You will not be asked to provide a copy of your DD-214 until you reach the Oral Assessment stage. However, we hope you took the opportunity to mention your overseas military experience in the employment section when you registered for the FSOT. As a participant in the October FSOT you will receive notification on October 30 advising whether or not your candidacy will continue. If you are invited to submit Personal Narratives (PN) for the Qualifications Evaluation Panel (QEP) you will have the opportunity to use examples in your responses to the PNs. If you pass the QEP and are invited to the Oral Assessment (FSOA) you will have the opportunity to mention your military overseas experience in the statement you will submit regarding your desire to join the Foreign Service. During the structured interview you can also draw on that experience. If you are eligible for Veterans preference points those are added after an applicant passes the FSOA."
Hi, I just applied in July to be a Foreign Service Officer and took the FSOT a week ago. I am a vet that spent almost 4 yrs abroad but I just noticed a pretty glaring error on my DD-214--the section for Foreign Service, are all 0's. I should have somewhere close to 4 yrs in that box (#12-f.) My question is: when does State pull my DD-214? Because I just put in for a correction to the Navy and it could take literally months, with or without a gov shutdown. PS: I think this is very important because it demonstrates my ability to live/work abroad. Any help/info please. Thanks!
Richard Boly, Director of the Office of eDiplomacy, sat down for an interview with Chris Dorobek on the DorobekINSIDER. You can check it out here: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/how-disruptive-technologies-a...
David Eaves just wrote a pretty interesting post about bringing new tech to foreign affairs organizations that I thought everyone here might want to read. One of the things he suggests is a TripIt-esque app for citizens traveling abroad. Good idea/bad idea?
Hopefully, somebody who is with this group can help me. I think that the Department of State would really like to use this expertise of mine.
I advertise Mandarin Coaching, remote (Twitter: @han4yu3, chineseadjuster.webs.com). I think that experts at the DOS might really like to utilize me for this service. I am in the Midwest, in a large city.
Am also available for longer term engagements as described at position.webs.com.
My accent when I speak in Mandarin is an outstanding natural, authentic and very standard mild Beijing and I am good at getting others to 'mimic' it. I do possess Linguistics knowledge but I still do not quite understand why my Mandarin has such an uncannily 'good' sound. I have spoken the language very well for almost 30 years.
I would work with people who speak Mandarin in order to help them make specific and agreed-upon improvements/enhancements in Mandarin accent, fluency, confidence and expression. It would be via Web and phone. I offer a free 20 minute no-commit session. I am also available for language practice and for beginners/learners but I am specifically looking for advanced users of the language.
An example of a person who I could help: a charge d'affaires who speaks the language well but who still retains a trace of an accent.
Slide 11 of the slide show on my site characterizes the sound of my Mandarin. The various pages of my Web site all focus on this Mandarin Coaching. The rates that I quote are only suggestive and I do offer special deals to government and non-profits.
Translation is a different kind of thing; I am also actively seeking clients for that. Communication.openhill.com describes my written communication services.
Mac, this is what a friend in HR at State said: talk to whoever hired you about this and/or their supervisor.
Anyone in this group have some advice for Mac? He's making the transition from active military service to working with State and has some salary questions. Check out his question here:

Falling Coconuts Kill More People Than Shark Attacks
"Falling coconuts kill 150 people worldwide each year, 15 times the number of fatalities attributable to sharks," said George Burgess, Director of the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File and a noted shark researcher.
"The reality is that, on the list of potential dangers encountered in aquatic recreation, sharks are right at the bottom of the list," said Burgess who was one of three scientists participating Tuesday in a National Sea Grant College Program and NOAA Fisheries sponsored press briefing on sharks and the risks of shark attacks at the National Press Club.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
We're men, Gus; the world is our toilet.
Last time I was at Disney World, Epcot Center to be exact, I looked up at the coconuts on the tall palm trees and wondered if they fell on guests.

Do you find yourself forgetting where you left your keys or blanking out information on important tests? Fortunately, there are plenty of things that you can do to help improve your memory.
Before your next big exam, be sure to check out some of these tried and tested techniques for improving memory. These research-proven strategies can effectively improve memory, enhance recall, and increase retention of information.
1. Focus your attention on the materials you are studying.
2. Avoid cramming by establishing regular study sessions.According to Bjork (2001), studying materials over a number of session's gives you the time you need to adequately process the information. Research has shown that students who study regularly remember the material far better than those who do all of their studying in one marathon session.
3. Structure and organize the information you are studying.
4. Utilize mnemonic devices to remember information.Mnemonic devices are a technique often used by students to aid in recall. A mnemonic is simply a way to remember information. For example, you might associate a term you need to remember with a common item that you are very familiar with. The best mnemonics are those that utilize positive imagery, humor, or novelty. You might come up with a rhyme, song, or joke to help remember a specific segment of information.
5. Elaborate and rehearse the information you are studying.In order to recall information, you need to encode what you are studying into long-term memory. One of the most effective encoding techniques is known as elaborative rehearsal. An example of this technique would be to read the definition of a key term, study the definition of that term and then read a more detailed description of what that term means. After repeating this process a few times, you'll probably notice that recalling the information is much easier.
6. Relate new information to things you already know.When you are studying unfamiliar material, take the time to think about how this information relates to things that you already know. By establishing relationships between new ideas and previously existing memories, you can dramatically increase the likelihood of recalling the recently learned information.
7. Visualize concepts to improve memory and recall.
8. Teach new concepts to another person.Research suggests that reading materials out loud significantly improves memory of the material. Educators and psychologists have also discovered that having students actually teach new concepts to others enhances understanding and recall. You can use this approach in your own studies by teaching new concepts and information to a friend or study partner.
9. Pay extra attention to difficult information.
Have you ever noticed how it's sometimes easier to remember information at the beginning or end of a chapter? Researchers have found that the order of information can play a role in recall, which is known as the serial position effect.
While recalling middle information can be difficult, you can overcome this problem by spending extra time rehearsing this information. Another strategy is to try restructuring what you have learned so it will be easier to remember. When you come across an especially difficult concept, devote some extra time to memorizing the information.
10. Vary your study routine.
Another great way to increase your recall is to occasionally change your study routine. If you are accustomed to studying in one specific location, try moving to a different spot during your next study session. If you study in the evening, try spending a few minutes each morning reviewing the information you studied the previous night. By adding an element of novelty to your study sessions, you can increase the effectiveness of your efforts and significantly improve your long-term recall.
11. Get some sleep.
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory and learning. Some recent research has shown that taking a nap after you learn something new can actually help you learn faster and remember better.
One study actually found that sleeping after learning something new actually leads to physical changes in the brain. Sleep deprived mice experienced less dendtritic growth following a learning task than well-rested mice.
So the next time you are struggling to learn new information, consider getting a good night's sleep after you study.

What interests me about the photographic process is the relationship between distance and honesty. As one moves closer to their limits, they often become more honest. "
Michael was raised in the Skagit Valley, a farming community in Washington State. Often using a camera phone as a primary recording device, his current work documents conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Sakhalin (2008), he captured the remote Russian island, while Broadway (2009) focused on New Yorkers amidst the financial crisis. He also put together a series of works from road and train trips throughout China (2009/2010) and, as a contributing photographer at National Geographic Magazine, published several adventure stories with the publication. In 2011, he documented the Libyan revolution using a camera phone, exploring ethical distance and the iconography of warfare. The subject of the 2012 HBO documentary Witness: Libya, his photographs from Libya were shown at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Instituto Cervantes (New York), The Museum of Fine Arts (Houston), the Annenberg Space for Photography and the Brooklyn Museum. These images will also appear in his forthcoming book Libyan Sugar, to be published in 2014 by Twin Palms Publishers.

Had this on tap at Roti's House in Maihama, Tokyo. Poured into a tulip glass. Limited brew during the summer season. Very citrusy fruity beer yet still packing some hops punch. Grapefruit dominates this one with a bit of yuzu in there as well. Aftertaste really reveals the yuzu side of it. Overall, loved this refreshing beer (and so did my wife who is not much of a beer drinker -- hints for taking a novice out with you).

Congress was back in session, Monday, and lawmakers are facing an important deadline.
Friday, $85 billion in automatic budget cuts kick in unless an alternative agreement can be reached.
If the cuts take place, analysts say it could mean furloughs for federal employees, longer waits at airports for travelers, and closed national parks. And there could be local impact to the cuts, as well.The federal government funds a lot of programs so chances are something you favor could see some sort of a budget cut.In Toledo, federal grant money funds everything from putting about a dozen cops on the street to fighting violence against women.President Obama came up with the sequestration idea hoping to force Congress to work out a budget compromise. But no compromise developed, so now $85 billion in cuts could be on the way."This is no way to run the government."Lucas County Commissioner Pete Gerken (D) fears local Food Stamp and Head Start programs will suffer and that private contractors at the 180-th airbase in Swanton could lose money.He says Washington politics creates a climate of panic and inaction. "Quit the blame game," he told 13abc reporter Bill Hormann. "Let's see something on paper. We're the ones who have to live with it."The City of Toledo may have to live with fewer federal dollars funding overtime for drug enforcement or catching speeders or even fixing roads.
City Finance Director Patrick McLean says there could be a ripple effect to these mandatory budget cuts. "We could have less road construction that turns into less construction jobs, turns into less income tax revenue, turns into less general fund money," he said.Other northwest Ohio towns face could suffer under the budget cutting axe.In Perrysburg, federal transportation dollars helped build the Roachton Road project. If cuts go through, similar projects in the future may not get built.In Maumee, sequestration could mean Community Development Block Grant money may not be available so blighted houses that need repair may not get renovated for resale.
Ohio could lose $120-million in federal monies because of sequestration.Director McLean says, "Federal dollars effect us and it's only when we start talking about those cuts that people start to think about it a little bit more."And for the next four days, all Ohio towns and counties will think about federal dollars a little bit more.
Congress could still work out a deal and not every program could get cut. Those that see cuts would not get wiped out.
But right now, uncertainty on what will be cut is perhaps the cruelest part of this debate.

Eau Claire (WQOW)- A local salon is giving away free haircuts to anyone who donates to its Toys for Tots drive.
In Style Salon in Eau Claire is giving complimentary haircuts to new customers who donate a toy to Toys for Tots. The store owner got the idea from the Salvation Army. It's a way that the salon can try to bring in new business and help local families at the same time.
"We do have a lot of families that come in here. We hear from them too that during these times, it's really hard to buy toys and come up with that," remembers Stylist Jez Harding. "So we want to help the people that are a part of us too."
Customers can take advantage of the offer until December 11th.

CNN's Morgan Repeatedly Raises Sorkin's Anti-America Speech with Guests
Since liberal producer Aaron Sorkin's HBO series The Newsroom made waves a couple of weeks ago with its infamous speech asserting that America is "not the greatest country in the world anymore," CNN host Piers Morgan has repeatedly brought up this charge with guests on his Piers Morgan Tonight show.
Morgan, who so far has not brought up the speech with any clearly conservative guest who might disagree with the premise, first raised the issue on the Wednesday, June 20, show with guest Billy Corgan of the rock group, the Smashing Pumpkins. Morgan:
I saw the premiere of Aaron Sorkin's new drama, Newsroom, which is based around a cable news show like this, starring Jeff Daniels. I watched it last night. And at the start, Jeff Daniels's character makes this kind of polemic speech to a bunch of students. And the point he makes - he's asked about what he thinks of America. He says that it's completely wrong to say America is still the greatest country in the world. It used to be. And it can be again.
But actually statistically, if you look at all the criteria, education, science, literacy, etc., etc., America is lagging way behind now many countries. What do you think?
A couple of days later, on Friday, July 22, as Sorkin and The Newsroom's Jeff Daniels appeared together as guests, the CNN host asked Daniels about the quote he had to deliver on the show. Morgan:
It was fascinating watching the room reaction, all these hard-edged news men, a lot of them sort of nodding along with that because it was a great speech and a classic - if you don't mind me saying - Sorkinism at its very best because it really made you think because you rattled off all these statistics about where America is not number one anymore, and made the point it used to be a great country, and it could be a great country again, but right now, it's not the greatest country in the world.
Let me ask you a difficult question: When you said it, did you believe it yourself?
On Monday, July 2, during an interview with Glenn Frey of the band, the Eagles, the CNN host brought up the issue of "American excess" as the two discussed the meaning of the Eagles song, Hotel California:
I always took it to mean a kind of a monument to American excess, not necessarily in a completely negative way, but just a monument to excess. When you look at modern America, and the way America has developed since you wrote the song, what do you think of what's going on now in America? In terms of, have people taken excess too far, do you think?
Morgan then brought up the speech from Sorkin's The Newsroom as he followed up:
An interesting debate was sparked - I had Aaron Sorkin and Jeff Daniels on here and this new HBO show, Newsroom, based on a show like this - and there's a whole debate that was sparked by the big speech at the start of the first episode in which Jeff Daniels's character gets angry about America.
And the key point he was making was that too many Americans still believe that America is the greatest country on Earth when, statistically, in many, many key areas - science, education and so on - it isn't anymore. There's a lack of awareness of that. Like all things in denial, until you deal with the denial and accept reality, you can't get better again. Do you think there's merit to that?
And on Tuesday, July 3, with liberal actor Billy Baldwin as a guest, Morgan raised the issue again:
PIERS MORGAN: There's this ongoing debate now, triggered by Aaron Sorkin's show, Newsroom, about whether America has the right to call itself the greatest country in the world statistically, just based on some of the figures you just said, what do you think?
BILLY BALDWIN: I think we have to be careful because there was a time where, you know, Paris and France were at the forefront of everything culturally and politically, and then it was replaced by London and England, and that was replaced by New York and America, and we better watch out or it's gonna be Beijing and China. And we may look back 50 years from now and say, in 2012, it already was Beijing and China, we just weren't aware of it until 20 years after the fact. And by that time, it's gonna be too late, so I think when it comes to R and D, you know, and technology and education and infrastructure and reinvestment, I think we have to be very, very careful, or we're about to be replaced.

Whats wrong with Americans
Submitted by Sude23 on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 10:40am.
Whats wrong with Americans loving their country? After all France still seems to think it's still the greatest country in the world, and they also built the Arch of Triumph for themselfs when every they have a victory (News flash it's only been used twice and not by the French) and thats not considered arrogant? So we lag behind in some education fields here's the thing as Americans and effective humans we do need to everyone to be the best in every field, you just need to be the best in what you love to do, whether it be math, science, or literature. This is the expanding our Freedoms to be able to do and become what we want. Sorry we can not be like Japan and keep our children locked up in there rooms and study every single subject for days on end. Don't get me wrong, education is important and being well rounded is fine but focus on what you want to do not what a ranking system wants you to do.

What Constitution?
Submitted by Agnostic on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 11:56am.
respect for the Constitution prevents me from saying what I believe CJ Roberts did to what little remained of that great document. This precedent basically removes the SCOTUS from the rule of law and places them at the head of a committee to decide social issues and not law. Law will be furnished by the DOJ, HHS and various others members of the Federal Alphabet Soup.
For those who think I am too pessimistic - I hope you are right. However the idea of a CJ passing on his duty to the law in favor of a 'popular vote' is the type of thing that the entire system of law was created to prevent.

Sorkin equivocates
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 12:31pm.
That's a fallacy. I thought Dems were supposed to be intellectual! (actually I never supposed that). What was the argument of people saying America was the greatest country? Was it that our children were ranked first in academics? Was it that we had a low incidence of poverty? And I can't remember all the statistical liberal bugaboos that Daniel's character listed off.
So, if that's your margin for greatness, then you're just another liberal who thinks that America has never been the greatest country. Our greatness doesn't exist. Our exceptionalism, as the President put it, is no more than Greeks believing in Greek exceptionalism, and no more than patriotism--which the libs are kind of exempting themselves from in its common variety.
Now, America has been touted for its mobility , but you can't have mobility if there is only one standard of wealth--an average of everybody's income. But it's clear that the person who seizes his or her fortune and experiences that mobility is not going to make that big a dent in the aggregate statistic.
Hence Sorkin's citing of aggregate statistics to "refute" a matter of opportunity, it flawed beyond belief. But it indicates what I see in liberals, the common idea that they have refuted you if they believe something else.

What makes America great?
Submitted by Quasi-socialist on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 12:49pm.
The end of two world wars? Where the statistic on the ending of world wars? Our Constitution, where's the statistic on where our Constitution ranks? The amount of people in other countries in threatening political speech say "You must be mistaken, the guarantee of freedom of speech is an American idea!" What's the statistic of people who think that it's only a curious notion of Americans?
And what hurts our statistics? Freedom. We give people the freedom to drop out of school and play rock guitar--or even video games if that is their lifestyle choice. And the libs exacerbate every single brain-dead reason for not measuring up to a communal standard of education. The left stands for no fixed standards--so what are they measuring ? Just somebody's standard of "greatness" (invites the classic liberal "who gets to say what is greatness?!?!?")
It is more like a liberal who would think that black and Hispanic kids telling each other than educational achievement can't happen unless their school gets the same funding as rich suburban schools that they can't be expected to learn, and thus educational achievement is "acting white" as a a legitimate cultural difference. Just as in Colorado, in 2008, it was the Dems who wanted to get out the highschool dropout vote.

yes we lag behind some countries in one specific category or another,and that can be traced back to government.
there's a huge difference in the way this question is asked,is america the best country in the world,is america the best country in the world to live,yes,and yes.
we are'nt always going to be the best at everything,but why push americans not to be the best in the world,this globalism,(socialism), this effort by the left in this country is to nutralize america with all other countries ends america,50% of the other countries are elated for this to happen,50% of the other countries have the fear of god of this happening.
some countries see in their own countries,up-risings,and social un-rest,and see what happening,in the middle-east, and africa, and wonder,is there a country that would be willing ,and able to help them,in a worst case senario,i say in a few years no.
these globalist,one world order,and their ilk will make 90% of the world sitting ducks,your children,and grand-children,the ones they care so much about,(at election time), will not stand a chance.

I am amazed at the polarization in US politics and quite frankly disappointed that the debate deals less with values and ideas, and more with disqualifying and slandering of the other side.
US President Obama, PM Netanyahu at White House

I was combining business and pleasure, east and west, family and friends, lectures and meetings, consulting and visiting.
In Washington, I gave a lecture on leadership and a productive discussion developed on key factors in the success, or failure, of organizations. It was great to reconnect to old partners and friends, in our new civilian capacities.
I was honored to be hosted at the Massachusetts State House for a discussion on current events and cooperation opportunities between Israel and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Massachusetts is teaming with innovation and initiative. I believe that we have many similarities and joint interests, and should broaden our collaboration.
I was exposed to the programs and resources invested in supporting veterans. Listening to the secretary of veterans' affairs passionately describe his vision and mission was inspiring. As a member of the IDF Veteran Organization's External Relations Committee, I bring back a strong recommendation for dialogue and cooperation.
In a heartwarming visit to the Trinity Evangelical Church in North Reading, Massachusetts, I spoke before a group preparing for a trip to Israel. I gave an overview on life in Israel and our challenges, both external and internal. I enjoyed the responses of "Hallelujah!" and "Praise the Lord!"
In El Paso, Texas, I met wonderful people. Besides experiencing openness and friendship, I learned an important lesson about honest, hard work and the joy of building and creating.
A Pakistani Muslim, an Israeli Jew and an American Christian met in a bar. This is not the beginning of a joke, but a description of friends I joined in Los Angeles. I enjoyed the lively discussion and analysis of world affairs, by some of the smartest people I have ever met.
At the University of Southern California, I felt over-dressed while touring the beautiful campus. I don't think I ever saw so many people wearing flip-flops.
At the USC Shoah Foundation, I was in awe of the dedication with which the valuable testimonies of Holocaust survivors are preserved and made accessible to educators and the public.
In evaluating organizations and programs with international ties, I found that a lack of deep cultural understanding burdens and even hinders successful cooperation. There also still seems to be a tendency to compartmentalize instead of join forces and share, even when striving to achieve common goals. I also witnessed reliance on remote communication instead of talking, exchanging liaisons and working together.
While speaking to various communities and organizations, I was frequently asked the open-ended question: "What do you think about Iran?" or the more direct: "When are you going to do it?" I did my best to cover the threat, probabilities, capabilities, moral justification and most important – timing. I argued that Israel and the US share the same vision of prevention and both ultimately don't want to see Israel as the main actor.
After Iran, the second-most common question was about the US presidential elections. It ranged from "Don't you think reelecting Obama will be disastrous for Israel?" to "Isn't it true that security relations peaked under the Obama administration?" I couldn't and wouldn't state my political leaning, although I have opinions on the various issues being debated, from abortion and gay rights to the appropriate strategy for the Middle East.
I am amazed at the polarization in US politics and quite frankly disappointed that the debate deals less with values and ideas, and more with disqualifying and slandering of the other side.
A hot topic during my visit was accusations of inconsistency, or "flip-flopping," on key issues. I believe that reevaluating and changing your mind is a positive and admirable quality, and that flip-flopping, zigzagging, U-turning and back-flipping are not always bad, except of course if it's used by a politician to appease and please different audiences.
Back to day-to-day life and cultural differences.
Driving in Los Angeles during rush hour is no fun, but still better than in Israel. Apparently, simple cultural norms, such as keeping a distance and maintaining your lane, contribute to a more relaxed experience, and fewer accidents. I heard only one car honk during the entire trip.
From coast to coast, Americans were friendly, kind and patient. I knew that "How ya doin'?" wasn't always really personal and caring, but I enjoyed it.
When store clerks in California asked, "How was your weekend?" I decided not to elaborate, and made do with "Great, and yours?"
I was touched and thankful for good friends who opened their hearts and their homes. A special treat was meeting dear relatives, some of whom I haven't met in 20 years.
As usual, I was angry and envious to find lower prices and a better variety than in Israel, especially when most of the products are manufactured closer to Israel than the US.
I'm stating the obvious, but I was again amazed to see too much alcohol, too much junk food, too many additives and mega-sizes. Even a standard drink can is 7.5 percent bigger than in Israel.
At the airport heading home, an Israeli official assisted me by bending the rules on overweight luggage, and even showed me how to avoid the supervisor. I was beginning to feel at home.
I partook in the ritual of taking off shoes at security, and envied the guy in front of me who thoughtfully wore flip-flops.
Landing at Ben-Gurion Airport, I was happy to be home, but quickly flip-flopped when people pushed by me to disembark the aircraft and overrun me in line for passport control.
A close friend once told me: "I love the US when I'm in Israel, and love Israel when I'm in the US."

Everett Golson threw touchdown passes of 50, 34 and 2 yards, Cierre Wood scored on a 68-yard run and third-ranked Notre Dame beat Wake Forest 38-0 Saturday to finish the season undefeated at home for the first time since 1998 and keep alive its national championship hopes.
The Fighting Irish improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1989 and need to beat Southern California to finish a regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988, the last time they won a national championship. The Demon Deacons (5-6) fell to 1-33 all-time against top 5 teams, their lone win coming against No. 4 Tennessee in 1946.
The victory virtually assures the Irish of a berth in a BCS game. The Irish need to beat USC and likely need either No. 1 Oregon or No. 2 Kansas State to lose to qualify for the BCS title game.

Jeff Capel has officially been "released" from his contract with the Oklahoma Sooners, four days after a disappointing 2010-11 season came to an end in the Big 12 Tournament. The university made the official announcement Monday afternoon. Oklahoma Vice President and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione will hold a press conference at 5 p.m. EDT (live webcast will be available).
"After careful consideration, it has been determined that our men's basketball program would be best served by a change of direction," Castiglione said. "Therefore, we are making a change in the head coaching position. Jeff Capel has worked diligently on our behalf, and for that we are appreciative. He has many outstanding qualities and we wish him success as he moves forward."
The Oklahoman reports that the buyout will cost the school between $2 and $3 million.
In five seasons as OU's head coach, Capel ammassed a 96-69 (.582) overall record, including a 37-43 (.463) Big 12 mark, while leading the Sooners to NCAA Tournament appearances in 2008 and 2009. The past two years, however, resulted in the first consecutive losing seasons at Oklahoma since 1966-67 (a combined record of 27-36).

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) -- E.J. Manuel hit Rashad Greene with a slant pass that Greene took 39 yards for a touchdown with 40 seconds to play and No. 8 Florida State survived a scare to beat Virginia Tech 28-22 on Thursday night.

So I've been watching this game on league pass (which just bumped up my monthly DirecTV bill to over $200.00 a month, but that's for another rant), and It's the first time i've seen Big Al play since he used to play for us. After watching the first half, it became glaringly obvious why the Wolves were so eager to trade Big Al. The national scribes again ridiculed Kahn endlessly for the trade that sent our "most talented player', Big Al, and his $15M albatross of a contract that McFail signed him to, out west. But after seeing Big Al get beaten down the court time and again on a fast break, after watching him jog downcourt while Grant Hill flew by him unobstructed for the slam......Grant Hill???? Didn't he like use a cane at one point?
Seeing Jefferson jog downcourt while others flew by him made me realize why Kahn traded him. We want to become a running team, capable of running with other athletic teams. Big Al clearly is no runner. He didn't look athletic, like the type of player Kahn covets. Despite being in the best shape of his life, he still looks like a slow player jogging while others are sprinting. I don't mean to berate big Al, but I still believe that trading him was a great move, and a great deal for our present AND future. He just doesn't fit our new style of athletic, move the ball, shot blocking, jumping jack style of play.
Meanwhile, back to the game. So, regarding the new techicals for disagreeing or demonstrating, you can definitely see the effect it's had on the game. Instead of watching guys complain or spew profanities ala KG, it's very calm and mellow. Nobody wants to get the technical. Jason Williams got ejected and got 2 techs. That'll cost him about 2 grand. I don't know the criteria, and in fact that's beyond the scope of this discussion. The game definitely flows alot smoother, but you get the sense the game just lost its soul.
• Players making aggressive gestures, such as air punches, anywhere on the court.
• Demonstrative disagreement, such as when a player incredulously raises his hands, or smacks his own arm to demonstrate how he was fouled.
• Running directly at an official to complain about a call.
• Excessive inquiries about a call, even in a civilized tone.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) – A youth center celebrated its grand opening in the Capital City Saturday.
The Yogi Youth Center underwent renovations at its location beside the Hindu Temple on Greenway Drive.
The facility was designed to be a multi-functional activities building for its growing population of young people.
It includes classrooms for boys and girls, a basketball and volley ball court, state of the art sports equipment and a large kitchen.
Jackson Mayor Harvey Johnson was on hand to cut the ribbon during the ceremonies.
"From a youth activities standpoint we can have classes. We can have music classes. We can have dance classes. We can have so many different other things inside this one center, and it's just a tremendous opportunity for us," said Youth Activities Coordinator Purav Brahmvhatt.
The youth center will also be open to the public.
During Hurricane Katrina the center served as a shelter housing more than 30 New Orleans evacuees for more than a month.

Jon Heyman has a story up in which he indicates that the Rangers are "asking around" about free agent outfielder Michael Bourn, although he describes the Rangers' interest as being in the "infancy" stage at this point.
Bourn, who is represented by Scott Boras, was seen as one of the top free agents of this year's class, but other centerfielders have already been snapped up while the market for Bourn looks very slow.
Bourn's value is in his speed and defense, as well as pretty decent on-base skills that make him a nice leadoff hitter. However, Bourn also turns 30 next week, there appears to be a reluctance among teams to spend big money for a lot of years on a no-power, speed-and-defense guy entering his decline phase.
I can see the Rangers being interested in him on a short-term deal, either on a one year contract that allows them to give Leonys Martin another year in the minors, or on something like a three-year deal that minimizes their downside exposure while allowing them to potentially deal Leonys for help in another area.

Gaia Herbs Single Herbs Valerian Root - 60 Vegetarian Liquid Phyto Capsules
Valerian root has long been used to promote deep and restful sleep in those with occasional sleeplessness. Made from Valerian grown on Gaia's own certified organic farm, this extract delivers a guaranteed 1.8 mg of active Valerenic Acid per serving. By restoring a sense of calm and relaxation, Valerian Root supports the body in falling asleep naturally.
History of Valerian This plant is native to Europe but was readily cultivated in North America in the early 19th century. Every eclectic medical text consulted listed this plant as a "cerebral stimulant" when used as a simple or single herb administration. It was also referenced as being a sedative, antispasmodic, nervine, and antiseptic. The Native American Cree Tribe was reported to use the indigenous species of Valerian as a chewed poultice applied topically for earaches. The preparation of the fluid extract from the rhizome was official in the United States Pharmacopeia from 1820-1936 and in the National Formulary from 1888-1946. It is still used to promote healthy sleep in many European Countries, North America, and The Soviet Union and is included in the World Health Organizations monographs on herbs as well as the German Commission E Monographs.
Single Herbs Individual herbs in their vibrant, natural form support each person uniquely. Gaia Herbs' Single Herbs contain concentrated extracts of an individual medicinal herb, to deliver Nature's vitality to you.
The Gaia Difference
Meet Your HerbBy sharing their knowledge, Gaia participate more fully in an exchange that advances the coevolution of plants and people.
With knowledge comes empowerment. With empowerment, there is a renewed sense of awareness. And with awareness comes the ability to make healthy choices. This is why Gaia is the only medicinal herb manufacturer that make it possible to truly " Meet Your Herb."
The "Meet Your Herb" ID number is an industry first - a Gaia exclusive that gives people the opportunity to see proof of the steps that go into ensuring the purity, integrity, and potency of the product they've purchased.
Simply follow the steps below to trace the story of your herbs from seed to shelf. It's Gaia's way of helping you reclaim control of your own well-being, gain knowledge you can share, and participate more fully in the dynamic relationship connecting plants and people.
About Gaia HerbsGaia's mission is to bring vitality to -and create a connection between -plants and people. Their goal is larger than simply producing high-quality, potent herbal products. As steward of coevolution -the knowledge that plants and people have evolved together on Earth, forming a symbiotic connection as a result- Gaia is committed to leading the way in fostering the connection between plant and people. Gaia believes they must do all that they can to preserve the Plant Intelligence within each herb. Gaia must "plant intelligence" for the future. And they must continue to learn from Nature and encourage the sharing of this knowledge with others.
Gaia CommitmentHow Gaia proceed forward in accordance with the virtues of harmony is as important as what they produce. At Gaia Herb, they hold themselves- and everything they produce- accountable to the virtues of purity, integrity, and potency. These are the pillars supporting their belief, their actions, and their commitment.
PurityEach herb must be cultivated in accordance with Nature's intent. In order to deliver herbal medicines of assured purity, Gaia adhere to a stringent set of principles—rules they uphold as a company at Gaia Farm, and that their Certified Organic Farmers, Land Steward Harvesters, and Validated Partners must also follow.
IntegrityAs Gaia create herbal medicines, they must ensure the fullest possible expression of each herb. As herbal ingredients move through the production process, they are committed to using the right extraction technology and ideal concentration methods to act in accordance with the physical properties of the herb. With every herb that they process in their GMP compliant facility they apply ONLY Full Spectrum processing technology. Their full spectrum processing involves choosing the ideal extraction and concentration methods to maintain the integrity of each individual plant. They do not isolate or purify a single active plant compound all on its own, nor are chemical or synthetic compounds ever added to their extracts. Instead, they deliver the complete natural array of the plant's compounds as intended by Nature, in order to facilitate the optimal physiological cascade of benefits within the body.
Potency:purity+integrity=potency The result of an unwavering commitment to purity and integrity.
Plant Intelligence is Nature's way of delivering vitality to people. This is true potency. But potency can only be assured when Gaia maintains the herb's entire chain of custody in order to guarantee that the highest levels of purity and integrity have been preserved.
Improper handling at any step can damage Plant Intelligence and compromise potency. Some companies grow or source their herbs in all the right places, only to use harsh chemical solvents for extraction or extremely high temperatures for concentration. Conversely, they may use the best extraction and concentration methods—but are limited by raw materials that are contaminated or compromised from poor cultivation, harvesting, or sourcing.
Potency is a result of Gaia's strict adherence to responsible practices with every herb they source, combined with the use of the right + right method of extraction and low + low method of concentration, plus careful maintenance of the purity and integrity of each individual plant.

DENTON, Texas (10/20/08) - Roxana Casvean earned Sun Belt Volleyball Player of the Week honors following an electric performance against Western Kentucky on Sunday.
Casvean posted 16 kills on .419 hitting in the program's first-ever win over Hilltoppers. The sophomore ignited a Mean Green offense that posted 41 total kills on .315 hitting and tallied just 13 attack errors. Casvean has reached double-digit kills in four of her last five matches, including 17 kill outings versus SMU and Florida Atlantic.
The award is North Texas' first of the season.
North Texas pulled the Sun Belt's upset of the season in beating RPI No. 15 Western Kentucky on Sunday, the highest ranked team ever knocked off by North Texas. North Texas hadn't beaten the Hilltoppers in nine previous tries before Sunday. WKU, which knocked off two-time defending Sun Belt champion Middle Tennessee earlier in the year, was the SBC's highest ranking team in the RPI rankings.
North Texas will be hosting Dig for the Cure during Sunday's match against Troy. Both NT and Troy will don pink uniforms, and fans are encouraged to make a monetary pledge for each dig by both teams. The money collected will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to help fight breast cancer. Fans can donate in person on Sunday or through meangreensports.com.

Manchester United young gun Danny Welbeck expects their winning culture remain amidst major changes
- From: FOX SPORTS
- July 19, 2013
MANCHESTER United have undergone plenty of changes this off-season, but young gun striker Danny Welbeck expects one thing to stay the same, the Red Devils' winning culture.
United will begin the 2013-2014 Barclays Premier League season with a new manager, the first time they've done so since Sir Alex Ferguson took over way back in 1986.
With the iconic Scotsman's retirement and plenty of changes at the other top clubs, plenty are wondering how the Red Devils will manage the changes.
Before that, Welbeck and United's superstars will take on an A-League All Stars outfit at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night.
Welbeck spoke to Fox Sports' Melanie McLaughlin ahead of the Red Devils' training session in front of 20,000 fans at Allianz Stadium and opened up on life after Sir Alex with another Scottish manager, David Moyes.
"It's pre-season and it's great to have everyone back together," he said.
"We're getting our fitness up and it's even better we get to come to Australia for it.
"People are calling it a new era, but at Man United we have our own way of doing things.
"That will continue."
Moyes only arrived at the club a few weeks ago, but 22-year-old Welbeck says the new boss has already begun imprinting his style on the team.
"Obviously the history of the club is something everyone looks up to," he said.
"The new gaffer has gone around and talked to every player individually. He has told us what he expects of us and what he expects at the end of the season."
"First impressions have been brilliant, I can't wait to get working with him."
Bar a couple of loan spells, Welbeck has been at United since the age of 10. The England international says this season will be even more important than most, with a World Cup in Brazil on the horizon.
He'll go into the new campaign with added confidence after Moyes revealed he spoke with Ferguson about just how important Welbeck is to the future at Old Trafford.
"It's a confidence boost, but I've got to look at my own game," Welbeck said.
"I'm my own biggest critic. I know what I have to do to improve.
"I think I've got a point to prove every single day, but especially this year.
Welbeck has a new boot, the Nike HyperVenom, but had a forgettable start with his equipment in the loss to a Thai All Stars team.
"I was knackered," Welbeck recalls.
"I made a 50-yard sprint to get to the ball and tried a stepover.
"I've taken too big a touch and just back-heeled it out of play.
"It was a good laugh though."
Welbeck was staying quiet on a score prediction for the match but promised fans one thing.
"It's going to be an exciting game."

The computation shall be based on the total amount in each share account.
(c) Promptly after the pro rata distribution to members has been computed, checks shall be drawn for the amounts to be distributed to each member. The checks shall be mailed to the members at their last known address or handed to them in person.
(d) Unclaimed share accounts, unpaid claims, and unpaid claims of members or creditors who failed to cash their final distribution checks shall be trusteed or escheated in accordance with the laws of the state in which the member or creditor resides.

Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.The numbers might seem arbitary, but it rounds things up nicely, and it's a good feeling to say "hey, I've accomplished a hundred things." Makes the improbable seem possible.
