1993 Jane Finlay Scholarship
Prof Wendy Chan
Professor of Sociology, Simon Fraser University, Canada
I am honoured to have been a BFWG scholarship recipient during my post-graduate studies at Cambridge University. The award provided vital support during my time in the UK. As an international student, tuition and living costs can add up substantially, therefore, without financial support, the ability to complete my studies would be more challenging. With the support of the BFWG, I completed my PhD in Criminology at Cambridge and started a career in academia.
One of the important aspects of the funding I received from the BFWG is the recognition of my research on domestic homicides and the legal treatment of battered women who kill their spouses in the UK. It is not always easy to carry out research on controversial issues and it was reassuring to know that the BFWG supported my work. My doctoral dissertation was eventually published as a book titled Women, Murder and Justice in 2001 by Palgrave Press, UK.
Since completing my post-graduate work, I returned to Canada to pursue an academic career. Upon leaving Cambridge, I held a tenure-track post at Saint Mary's University in Halifax and then three years later, returned to the west coast of Canada to be closer to my family. I currently hold a Professorship in Sociology at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada.
My research continues to examine issues of gender, race and class in the criminal justice system. I have published three other books along with a wide range of journal articles and book chapters. I am currently working on a number of different research projects that examines the criminalization of marginalized groups in the context of the welfare state, mental health, immigration and in the media. I teach in the areas of gender, social control and immigration, and I supervise graduate students working on a variety of social justice-related topics. I am currently co-Director of the Feminist Institute for Studies in Law and Society and co-Team Leader at the Center for the Study of Gender, Social Inequities and Mental Health at Simon Fraser University
2003 Jane Finlay Scholarship
Dr Anna Marmodoro
Fellow in Philosophy, Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford
I hold a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh and the equivalent of a MA (Laurea) in Philosophy from the University of Pisa, Italy.
I have been an Official Fellow of Corpus Christi College, at the University of Oxford, since 2011. Before that, I was awarded a British Academy Post-doctoral Fellowship in Philosophy, which I held as a Junior Research Fellow in Corpus (2008-2011). My first appointment was a Lectureship in the Faculty of Philosophy, at Oxford, and in Corpus Christi College (2007).
I have edited three volumes and have one monograph forthcoming, and have authored a variety of articles and book chapters in my areas of research: ancient and contemporary metaphysics, the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of religion. I have held visiting fellowships in Germany, Australia, and Italy. I have been the recipient of major research awards from the Templeton World Charity Foundation (2012); from the European Research Council (2010); from the Leverhulme Trust (2008).
My training in philosophy in Italy was focused mainly on the study of the history of ideas. When I started my graduate studies at the University of Edinburgh I needed to learn a new analytic methodology (in a foreign language), as well as new philosophical material. The Scholarship I received from the Federation allowed me to take a fourth year to complete my doctorate - this fourth year was crucial for consolidating my analytic philosophy training, and allowed me to publish even before the submission of my thesis. I thus entered the next stage of my academic career in a stronger position than if I had to hurry to finish my thesis within three years; and my first appointment was a lectureship at the University of Oxford.
2005 Mary Bradburn Scholarship
Dr Camille Szmaragd
Research Associate, School of Veterinary Sciences, University of Bristol
I would like to thank you for supporting me through a BFWG scholarship which helped me through the last year of my PhD. Thanks to your support, I was able to complete my PhD successfully and I received my doctorate within the 3 years. In particular, the extra funding provided by the BFWG enabled me to reduce my teaching load in the final year to concentrate fully on my research. Following the completion of my PhD in Genetics (in Cambridge), I worked for two and a bit years at the Institute for Animal Health in Pirbright, Surrey, developing epidemiologic models of transmission of bluetongue disease through British livestock. These models were particularly influential in the management of the bluetongue epidemics which affected the UK in 2007-2008. I was also closely involved in the working group which designed the control and prevention strategy against bluetongue in Scotland. At the end of 2008, I moved to the Southwest of England and started working at the School of Veterinary Sciences, University of Bristol. My research since then has involved investigating risk factors involved in the transmission and persistence of bovine tuberculosis in the Southwest of England. I am currently working as part of a team developing a new and exciting statistical software engine, Stat-JR, which aims to provide social and natural scientists a more intuitive environment for analysing complex datasets and fitting advanced statistical models.
I would like to reiterate my very sincere gratitude to BFWG for awarding me The Mary Bradburn Scholarship as without it I will probably not be where I am now.
2006 Ellen Wynne Vanstone Scholarship
Dr Christine Cheng
Lecturer in International Relations, Department of War Studies, King's College London
From 2009-2012 I was a post-doctoral fellow in politics and international relations at Exeter College, Oxford, before taking up the post of Lecturer in the Department of War Studies at King's College London in 2012. After I received the BFWG scholarship, I spent a year on exchange at Yale University, then won a fellowship to the Department of Foreign Affairs in Canada, and then returned to the UK to take up a junior research fellowship in Oxford. My DPhil, which the BFWG scholarship supported, was on Extralegal Groups, Natural Resources, and Statebuilding in Post-Conflict Liberia. I maintain broad research interests in post-conflict transitions, peacekeeping, organized crime, corruption, and African politics.
Recently, I published a co-edited volume entitled Corruption and Post-Conflict Peacebuilding (Routledge, 2011) as well as other book chapters related to this theme. I am currently working on a book manuscript that builds on my dissertation on extralegal groups. Hopefully soon I will also have a book contract! My next project will be on the evolution of anti-corruption norms.
Perhaps of interest to BFWG members, I also have a separate (and slightly indulgent) research interest on women in politics. I co-authored a journal article showing that political candidates are more likely to be female if the local party gatekeeper is also female. You would think that this would be a somewhat obvious result- but proving that this is so is harder than you might think! The article was published in Political Research Quarterly and is entitled: Informal Influences in Selecting Female Political Candidates.
In the last two years, I have also begun to blog and tweet about international affairs. My commentaries have appeared in the Wall Street Journal and al Jazeera, and I have spoken about African politics (on TV and radio) for a number of media outlets including the BBC and Radio France International.
During this time I also had a son. He was born while I was on exchange at Yale. He is now three and a half years old.

Movie Kiss
Re-enact your favorite big screen smooch. You can take this as far as you'd like. Head to your closet and turn yourself into Indiana Jones or Jimmy Stuart or Catherine Zeta-Jones, whoever you'd like to play. One warning: If you choose the upside-down Spiderman kiss, be careful. You don't want a trip to the emergency room to slow down your celebrating.
Second Dance
Play your song and pump up the volume. Then, take your spouse by the hand and recreate your first dance as husband and wife. This time, only the two of you will be in the room (unless you do this in front of a crowd during a holiday party, which is not recommended). If a husband tries this with a wife, he will undoubtedly be the receiver of all sorts of ensuing romance. Just make sure to dip your spouse and kiss at the very end.
A Bouquet
Head into your backyard or on your street and pick all sorts of freebies. If you're in a warm climate, pick some of the wild flowers and other blooms available. Pine and other sturdy green trees have lovely long branches hearty enough to make it through the snow if it's winter where you are. Pine cones, acorns, and bare branches can add pizazz to your bouquet. Mother Nature has many free gifts to offer. You are limited only by your imagination.
Breakfast in Bed
Heat things up in the kitchen by whipping up pancakes, eggs, bacon – whatever delights your love will find yummy – and carrying it all to the bedroom for breakfast in bed. Nothing could be more delicious!
Breakfast in Bed for Your Valentine
Love Letter
Write a note to your spouse explaining how special this holiday season is now that you're finally married. Share how you feel about him or her. Tell your spouse what you hope the new year will bring you. Be honest and sweet and loving. It will win you points every time.
Build a Fire
If you have a fireplace, set a fire and grab some pillows and blankets. Make some hot chocolate or break out the graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows for s'mores. Get cozy in front of the fire (even an electric fireplace will do). Be sure to get close and snuggle. That is one of the greatest gifts you can give to your relationship.
Clean House
Do your spouse's household chores and your own for one week. This is a practical gift that can also be super romantic. Many spouses – especially those who take on most of the domestic duties – find that a helpful gesture from their husband or wife is a big turn on. Wait are you waiting for? Pick up a mop and get moving.

A-Pours an opaque, dull copper color. Nearly no head. A very lazy initial bubble up, then nothing.
S-Aroma is well integrated and pleasantly tart. Fruitiness and semi-sour berry notes. Very lightly oaky.
T-You can tell it had some age in it. All the flavors have meshed together. A tart fruitiness dominates the flavor. Cranberries and currants added bring forth a lot of genuine sour berry flavors. Hints of oak. Finishes sweet.
M-Flatter. Has some body to it. No noticeable booze.
O/D-I think the age really did this brew some favors. Well integrated flavors. Tasty tartness. Underrated.

Acquired at a local SoCal beer store for $12.00. 7.00% ABV confirmed Bottled 10/10/12. 50 cl brown glass bottle with standard black pressure cap served into an Oskar Blues pilsner glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Reviewed live. Expectations are fairly high; I'm in the mood for a good sour but I had one from HaandBryggeriet last night and wasn't horribly impressed. Brewed with Lambic style yeast and aged in oak barrels for 18 months.
Served cold, straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a half finger milky white colour head of nice cream, below average thickness, and poor (~40 second) retention. Body colour is a murky vibrant copper. Nontransparent; translucent. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show. The abundance of visible carbonation bubbles suggests potential overcarbonation. Doesn't look great for a lambic, but there's nothing overtly wrong here other than the poor head retention. I'm reserving judgement.
Sm: Quite nice. Tart cranberry and other berries. I'm tempted to say cherry as well. Grape skin. It's definitely fruity, and the sourness comes from the tart fruit, not from lacto yeast. Light underlying sweetness. It's really pleasant and appealing. I'm rather impressed, to be honest. A very good lambic aroma; I'm excited to try it. Moderate to pretty strong. No alcohol is detectable. No hop aromatics.
T: Strong oak up front with some weird cardboard-y bitterness. Gets better towards the finish, with the tart fruit and berries I was expecting. Grapeskin. Still, that rough cardboard off-flavour up front is tough to get over. If only the dominant flavours were the tart sour berries/fruit like I want them to be. Little floral character, if any. No alcohol comes through. The cardboard flavour kills the balance, but there's still a lot of good flavour here; this feels like a missed opportunity. There's potential here, but the off flavours really destroy the beer. Too bitter for a lambic, which should be exclusively tart.
Mf: Acidic, with a bit of bite. Smooth and wet. Weak, thin, and even a bit watery. There's body, but just not enough. The mouthfeel misses the mark. Carobnation is adequate.
Dr: Hm. I see a lot of potential here. It has some things that really work - the tart fruit, the sour lambic yeast , the acidity - but it also has severe flaws, including an off flavour and a watery mouthfeel. Overall, I can safely say I do like it in spite of what's wrong with it, but if they resolved the issues it could be a truly great beer. Maybe with more experience, HaandBryggeriet will nail sours down, but for now it's obvious they're still novices. Love the experimentation and the attempt, but the execution wasn't quite up to par.

A - pours a hazy amber with no head. No bubbles.
S - oak, currants, cranberries. Bandaid. Wet cardboard. Hint of lacto.
T - weak flavor that is similar to the aroma. Watery and unimpressive.
M - thin body. watery. Very low carbonation. Barely tart for the style.
O- not impressive in any regard. The aroma was almost OK, even with some defects and the flavor was sub par for the style. Wouldn't buy again.

Cracked in honor of surviving the 2013 Blizzard. Been holding onto this, for some reason, for a while. 2/26/2010 vintage.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a clear berry juice like hue with very little carbonation. A super thin head that fades to leave a very very subtle halo.
S - Faint faint fruits, cherries, light sour. Almost like a dulled down kriek. Barrel notes are faint. Quite faint oak and vanilla.
T - Bit of a let down here. The barrel notes are alright, solid oak and light vanilla. The fruits are there, on the fainter side again like a duller kriek. Its alright. Nothing to write home about.
M - Mouthfeel is on par for the style. Lowly carbonated, a bit thin.
O - Yeah, not too happy I wasted fridge space on this guy. Unfortunate.

This particular beer was bottled on June 30th, 2011, making it a year and a half old. Poured into my Duvel tulip.
Pours a pretty orange/red color with minimal head. Not surprised there.
The smell is your typical sour funky horse-blanket smell that you get with lambics and other sour beers. Definitely getting some tart cherries as well, maybe s slight hint of cranberry as well.
The taste is not near as sour as the smell would have you guess. The bottle states that this beer was aged 18 months in oak barrels and I'm definitely getting some of that oaky vanilla flavor. The cherries are some what muted, much like a well done kriek, minus the sour power that some krieks have. The cranberries are there too but this beer is just missing that little something extra. There is a slight bit of oxidation which might isn't really doing this beer too many favors.
The mouthfeel is medium with a decent carbonation level and a proper level of acidity for the style.
Overall this was a decent attempt at a lambic. Wasn't the best I've had and definitely wasn't the worst I've had. With that being said, I'm always one to give this brewery a try and was glad I tried this brew. I'd recommend trying it at least once. Probably better when a little more fresh.

Lately I have been reading reviews as I try new beers, which I find to be both entertaining and informative. Some of you have very developed palates, which can help me realize thing I might otherwise miss. Anyhow, here goes...
A: Beautiful light cherry red and amber, likely from the cranberry. Low low low carbonation, which disappears within moments of pouring. Same to be said of any head; I think I had to agitate it a bit to get any head (no pun intended), and even then I gave it a five count before it disappeared. Poured clear and clean.
S: Can smell the sour right of the bat. Along with sour comes a little funk, cherry, and a hint of the cranberry/currant. Smells like a sour, with the fruit in the background. I noticed another reviewer said that there was a heavy "nail polish" smell, but I think that is remnant of the oak, rather than acetone.
T: Nice and sour right up front. Long ending sour with a bitter finish. The cranberry comes last, and tastes of fresh cranberries. Reminds me of when I make cranberry sauce with fresh cranberries. Next time you make a batch, just eat a couple straight out of the bag and be reminded of this beer. The finish reminds me of the bitterness that comes from tasting the rind of an orange.
M: Smooth. A little oily when cold, and thin when warm. Refreshing when cold, warming when, well... warm.
O: I'm more of a sour type of a guy, rather than lambic. This seems like a sour in disguise, as, for me at least, the fruit is not in the foreground here. I really only get cranberry/currant in the last few moments of each sip. I'd try it again, but it's not something I would seek out.

La brillance personnifiée, cette bague de fiançailles en diamant est ornées de diamants ronds sertis sur un modèle split shank et halo en or blanc 14 carats.
Consultez notre section information pour en savoir plus sur nos bagues de fiançailles.
It's a beautifully styled ring that she loves. The center stone does not overpower the design; it is a perfect fit. Independently appraised for a thousand more than cost.
JAMES, FARMERS BRANCH, TX – April 2014
I just recently proposed to my girlfriend of 3.5 years with a diamond in this setting. Let me start off by saying that my (now) fiancee is very picky, and has very specific tastes - the lady knows what she likes! I was mulling over the diamond for months, and finally found something I knew she would love. Now the hard part - finding the right setting. I was initially planning on going with a solitaire cathedral band, but this was definitely the right choice!She absolutely loved it. And to really seal the deal - she's has been getting compliments non-stop from all of her girlfriends. White gold...14k - I had my doubts, but don't let the mere fact that its not platinum stop you from getting this setting.It is absolutely beautiful, and looked great on her round cut diamond! Would highly recommend!

Online publishers figure a few things out
With e-readers the hot gadget of 2010 (and Apple's entry into that market), revenue-generating models will emerge in online content. The Comcast-NBC Universal deal, which will close next year, is just the beginning of mergers and partnerships in that market. Rival publishers will join forces, particularly in mainstream news media, and by year's end multiple new ventures will emerge that will upset the old carts and usher in -- finally! -- forward thinking. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. will continue to challenge Google and other aggregators and will lead the way in developing online news and content models, though we are not yet convinced that Murdoch's desire to charge for access to online news across his various holdings is going to pan out.
However, the online news and content landscape will look a lot different at the end of 2010 than it does at the end of 2009. To borrow from Monty Python: It's just a flesh wound! We're not dead yet!

Maryland Angler's Log - Share Your Catch!
To post a report please email your name, hometown, photos, location information, and the content for your report to firstname.lastname@example.com. All information is optional, but encouraged.
Important Note: If anyone in your picture is under 18 years of age, we must have a photo release signed by a parent/guardian before we can post your picture. By sending any photos or art to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources you are giving DNR permission to use the image(s) online and in print. You are also giving DNR permission to distribute the photo for non-commercial purposes to other media, print, digital and television for their use. You are not giving up your copyright, but are allowing the photo(s) to be used for educational and news purposes. All Photos will be made available on Fisheries Service Flickr Page.
There will be a 2014 end-of-year random drawing from angler's participating in any of the Volunteer Angler Surveys. We encourage anglers to continue to report snakehead catches through the Inland Freshwater survey in addition to their Angler's Log submission. The information helps our biologists better understand the various species and water systems they utilize.
A new component of the Maryland Fishing Challenge includes invasive species reports submitted to the Angler's Log. Beginning during the 2013/2014 tournament, Angler's Log entries which include Blue Catfish, Northern Snakehead or Flathead Catfish, at any length in size, will be eligible for up to two prizes via a random drawing at the annual Maryland Fishing Challenge Finale. Fish must be kept and a photo showing the kept fish is mandatory. Multiple entries are allowed, but each fish can only be entered once. Remember, all invasive species must be dead to be entered and there is no catch and release category. Visit the Maryland fishing Challenge web site to read the complete set of rules.

Deep Sea Fishing
Type: Ocean
Region: Eastern
Location: Off Shore of Ocean City
I just returned from a deep sea fishing trip on the Morning Star Headboat. My expectations were to catch Sea Bass and Summer Flounder. After a 2 and 1/2 hour run we arrived at a reef and started fishing. I managed to catch a throwback flounder and then a keeper sea bass. After awhile I caught my only keeper flounder of the day. Others on the boat did better getting their limit of four flounder. Some 5 and 6 pounders where caught by end of the day winning the pool money. At least with 2 fish I had dinner. The captain advised using a strip bait of flounder belly or Squid on a long trailing bottom hook with a light green curly tail. The top hook could be baited with clam. A little motion could be given the bait to attract the flounder. Some people did well, others only caught 2 keepers and some people caught no keepers just throwbacks. The headboats have switched over to Summer Flounder as fishing for Black Sea Bass is slow. Tight lines.

Went out on Deer Creek a few times these past couple of weeks on the kayak and the fish were defiantly there and biting but they lacked in size. I got a few fallfish, smallmouth, sunfish and even a couple largemouths all on rooster tail spinners.

Youth Diamond Jim Tagging Trip
Type: Chesapeake

Charlie and Ben Ward went out fishing on the June 26th Diamond Jim Tagging Trip aboard the Red Osprey ! They had a ball. It was their first time being out on the bay like that. Charlie caught a 25 inch rockfish and Ben caught a 23 inch rockfish. That is all they talk about when you ask them about fishing. And always there's the one that got away!

Summertime on the Potomac
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Potomac River
Charlie Dolan, a life long friend from Colorado, came into town to visit family and of course catch a few fish. We hit the river early and late as the fish are generally more active under low light conditions during the summer; the mid-day hours can be brutally hot in a boat. Charlie caught the largest smallmouth of the trip on a topwater bait. After catching some bass, we switched gears and targeted Walleye around deep ledges with current and found the action to be better than expected. Although my partner may have been picturing a sizzling skillet, these trophy-sized Walleye were released to fight another day. There is no better way to spend time with friends than a good fishing trip. Im looking forward to many more!

Team Effort Landed Trophy Bass
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Montgomery County Farm Pond
Here is a picture of a trophy bass I caught with my son, Ryan (7) this past weekend. We are both from Gaithersburg, MD and were fishing a farm pond in Montgomery County, MD together. Ryan saw the bobber shoot under and we both raced for the rod. Ryan wanted to reel it in on his own and managed to get the bass close enough for me to land. We were both so excited, high fives the rest of the night. He earned his milkshake on the way home. The bass was estimated at 23 inches, over 6 pounds. The fish was safely released.

Now, I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a game by getting knocked on his ass and falling down for his team. He won it by knocking the other poor dumb bastard down for his. Men, all this stuff you've heard about WVU football not wanting to play SPITT, wanting to stay out of the game, is a lot of horse dung. Mountaineers traditionally love to play and fight. All real Mountaineers love the sting of the game. When you were kids, you all admired the WVU linebacker, the WVU running back, the fastest runner, the big time safety, the toughest corner. Mountaineers love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Mountaineers play to win every game all the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a WVU player who lost and laughed. That's why Mountaineers have never and never will lay down for any opponent. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Mountaineers.
Now, we're a team. We live, eat, sleep, play as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of crap. The bilious bastards who wrote that stuff about individuality for the Saturday ESPN scoreboard don't know anything more about real football than they do about fornicating.
We have the finest facilities and equipment, the best spirit and the best HFC coach in the world. You know, by God I actually pity those poor bastards we're going up against. By God, I do. We're not just going to tackle the bastards, we're going to run through them on each and every damn play!
Now, some of you boys, I know, are wondering whether or not we'll fumble, drop a pass, miss a block, don't worry about it. I can assure you that you that the old Gold and Blue will all know what to do. They are the visitors, dive into them, make them feel the sting, make them get up slow. When you see your team mate get double-teamed and slammed in between two defenders that chest bump each other, you'll know what to do.
Now there's another thing I want you to remember. I don't want to get see any players in prevent defense and that we area holding our end of the field. We're not holding anything. Let the Panthers do that. We are driving constantly and we're not interested in holding onto anything or trying to run out the clock. We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick them in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we're gonna go through them like crap through a goose.
There's one thing that you men will be able to say about this team when you get back home after the 2011 Backyard Brawl, and you may thank God for it. Twenty or thirty years from now when you're sitting around your tailgate with your buddies and they ask you what did you do in the great game of Nov 25th , 2011, you won't have to say, "Well, I shoveled shit in Pittsburgh."
Alright now, you sons-of-bitches, you know how I feel. Oh, and I will be proud to lead you wonderful guys onto the field – anytime, anywhere.
Eat Shitt Pitt. That is all.

The operators of the AdBlaze.com and BuyYelpReview.com websites allegedly are infringing Yelp's registered service marks and violating Yelp's website's terms of service by selling bogus reviews to help businesses "drown out" bad reviews they received on the Yelp website, the online review company contended in a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California June 20 (Yelp Inc. v. Catron, N.D. Cal., No. 13-CV-2859, complaint filed 6/20/13).
According to the complaint, the defendants created accounts on the Yelp Inc. website in furtherance of their plans, violating Yelp's contractual prohibition on seeking payment in return for submitting a review. Yelp said it conducted a sting operation earlier in the year in which it was able to purchase fake reviews from defendants for a fictitious business Yelp created for the purpose.
Most of the defendants are not yet identified by Yelp. The one named defendant, Timothy Catron, was described by Yelp as "a pioneer of online fraud." It pointed to testimony about Catron during a Congressional subcommittee hearing in 2000 where Catron was said to have operated a website offering fraudulent identification documents.
Among other claims, Yelp is suing for trademark infringement and unfair competition, in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114, 1125(a), cybersquatting, breach of contract, and false advertising.
Yelp is seeking injunctive relief barring the defendants from accessing the Yelp website and offering to sell Yelp reviews, damages, and an order canceling the defendants' registration of the BuyYelpReview.com domain name or transferring it to Yelp.

How many pythons are in the Everglades? 30,000? 150,000? 200,000?
"No one is out there counting them, because they would have caught them when they were counting them," Dr. Rick Piatt, a python expert in Lakeland, told FOX 13 News.
The number of pythons in the Everglades is now under scrutiny because of the Python Challenge. In the first two weeks of the event, 1,000 hunters had shot only 30 snakes. Piatt says that's evidence the estimates are way off.
He says the python population, whatever it is, should be kept in check. But the issue of pythons in the wild has gotten overblown. Why? He says state officials made getting rid of them a political hot button after an escaped pet python killed a child. He also says the media spread unsubstantiated estimates.
Since pythons are an exotic species, they are a problem in the Everglades. Unchecked, they could eventually damage its delicate ecosystem. But many experts say with the limited information they now have, they can only guess how quickly that might be.

There were plenty of other peeps in double digits (I forgot what that having that many picks correct feels like... ), so have a look at the standings and give it another crack this week:

|Excesses of many trace elements can cause direct toxic effects to cattle as well as indirect effects that can cause a secondary deficiency of other trace elements. Clinical signs may vary from poor growth and feed utilization to neurologic disorders. Toxic effects vary with the specific trace element in question, the total amount of that element in the diet, the age and condition of the animal, and the presence or absence of certain other dietary components. A diagnosis of toxic trace element interaction is based upon compatible clinical signs in affected animals as well as supporting chemical analyses.

Dear Diary: Keep OutPosted: March 14, 2012 Filed under: Diary, Parenting, Uncategorized | Tags: daughter, dear diary, diary, girls diary, parenting, reading diary 4 Comments
It didn't surprise me when my 8-year-old daughter asked for a spiral notebook.
"I want to write stuff down," she said matter-of-factly.
"What stuff?" I asked.
She just looked at me. And then gestured wildly, "Just STUFF."
Sigh. So on the next Target run I brought home a notebook. Which she promptly turned into:
Suddenly I felt like I had been sucked back in time and was living in a Judy Blume novel. Only now I was the mom in the book.
I had a diary in third grade. It was a hardbound tiny book with Hello Kitty on the front. I took a label maker and punched a "Keep Out" sticker that I pasted on the cover. I wrote about all sorts of things like soccer practice, Valentine's day, my dream crush on Rick Springfield (I sent him my school picture after getting his address from Dynamite Magazine) and my real crush on a boy in my class named S********. (You think I'm actually going to reveal his name? Please, people. I still live in the town I grew up in.) I kept my diary under my bed. A very safe hiding place, right? All secrets would be secure. No one would ever find it there.
Until my older sister did. The "Keep Out" sticker was apparently not powerful enough. She read it and then told S****** that I liked him.
How could my sister do that?! She taunted me for weeks with diary details. It was excruciating. To this day, all of my sisters make fun of my inventive spelling in the diary. Like when I spelled "Barbie Clothes" "Baribie Clotneths". Ha ha. Hilarious. Not upsetting for a child at all.
I now look at my daughter's pink polka-dotted notebook she drags around the house. She writes in the family room. In the basement. Her bedroom. I innocently ask what she's writing and she just smiles. I get that most girls have a diary. That's not the problem.
The problem is, I want to read it. Badly. Yes, she needs privacy, blah blah blah. But I want to read it RIGHTNOW. I want to get into my daughter's budding mind. Her secret thoughts. I've known everything about her since she was born, and all of a sudden a little polka-dotted notebook has trumped me. It knows the inside scoop.
And it enjoys taunting me. It sits on her bed, in its hot pink glory. Not even bothering to hide under the bed. I could flip open the cover. What if it dropped off the bed and happened to open up? What if I was putting it away on her book shelf and a large breeze suddenly blew the pages open?
I'm not sure what I'm hoping to find in that little journal. What if I didn't approve of it? What if (gasp) she wrote about me? Would I say something? And admit that I violated diary privacy? Don't they have an American Girl Doll book that addresses this??
I saw her writing in it tonight.
"So, what do you have in there?" I ask. Hoping she'll share.
"Hmmm, some thoughts just for me," she says.
I swear that darn polka-dotted book laughed at me.
4 Comments on "Dear Diary: Keep Out"
Oh goodness, I don't blame you. When my daughter is that age, I just really hope she hides it well. If it was out in the open, I would totally read it! But really, what bad things could she be saying? And if she leaves it in the open, maybe she's just writing innocently?
I still have my diaries from middle and high school. I wrote one scandalous post (let's just say it was the first time a boy went to second base!) – I promptly blacked that out with a sharpie. What I wouldn't give to read that now!
I am cracking up reading this post. I know exactly how you feel. My daughter for the longest time would not let me read her journal. She finally let me read her writings and I felt a huge blush of pride at what she was creating in her mind. There were no secrets – just a creative mind beginning to bloom with ideas and wonderment.
She will open up that pink polka dot book to you soon because secretly they want to share, but on a timetable that drives parents simply mad with curiosity.
I will have to tell you the story about The Moving Alien, sometime. Oh, that little girl with her journal is now a senior in college with a passion for writing, has passed her language arts teacher certification and is studying for the law school entrance exam all because of The Moving Alien story.
Pink Polka Dots Rule!

Louis Coleman 5th round Pick 2009 #152 overall - Coleman had an up and down career at LSU struggling his first two seasons to excelling his junior and senior season out of the pen and as a starter both. Coleman contributed to LSU's 2009 CWS title closing out the deciding game versus Texas. Drafted as a reliever only he has a fastball/slider combo that grades out as average to slightly above. His fastball for the most part sits in the low 90s with a peak of 95. At times he struggles at staying on top of his slider because he throws from a 3/4 arm angle and that pitch will flatten out leading to a longball but for the most part he has breezed thru the minors striking out over a man per inning. Coleman should challenge for the big league pen next season and could be a solid setup combo with Collins.
David Lough 2007 11th Rd Pick - Baseball America - Lough's above-average speed is his best tool, but what stands out most is his lack of a clear weakness. The rest of his tools all project to be right around major league average. He showed a more advanced approach at the plate in 2009. His swing is short and direct, which allows him to hit for average and rarely strike out. Thanks to his strong wrists, he projects to hit for average power, though he's most comfortable lining doubles into the gaps. He's an average defender in center field who usually has played in left because he has been alongside quality center fielders. Lough from A ball to AA was a bit of a free swinger carrying no higher than a 6.4% walk percentage and for the first half of his AAA season he was that player as well. Then working at the top of the order ahead of Alex Gordon, Kila Ka'aihue and Mike Moustakas in the second half of the season Lough changed something up drawing 30 walks in his last 190 ABs. Overall his season was less than stellar but acceptable considering the improvement from June on. One part of his game I would like eliminated is the sacrifice bunt, Lough had 17 sacrifices on the season.

Salvador Perez International Free Agent 2006- An international free agent Perez wasn't a big name international signee similar to Cuthbert but has slowly built himself into a prospect. The 6'3 200 lbs defense first catcher is slowly coming around with the bat. As only a 20 year old right handed hitting catcher in a tough right hand hitting park one can't dislike Perez .732 OPS and 42% caught stealing percentage in the Carolina league this season. Some coaches and scouts gave him Sandy Alomar comps and he was said to be the #21 rated player in the Carolina League by Lacy Lusk. He is a nice insurance piece to have if Wil Myers proves he can't handle the catching duties longterm. His size should produce enough power and he's shown a decent ability to hit for average at stops in the Pioneer and Carolina league so that combined with his defense should give him a average chance to play a position that doesn't require much to be a regular in the bigs. Perez will be challenged during the Fall as one of the youngest players invited to the Arizona Fall League and a promotion to AA following that.

Robinson Yambati International Free Agent 2009
Yordano Ventura International Free Agent 2009- I admit I don't know much about these guys other than what I've read never have seen them play but if I can list Cuthbert then one can't have these guys much lower as BA ranked them higher in their AZL ratings. Ventura is quite the anomaly as a 19 year old who stands 5'11 160 lbs and throwing his fastball into the triple digits while regularly sitting 94-96. He is still working on a curve and change up as most 19 year olds would be while Yambati is bigger and projects to possibly have a better change longterm while touching 96 with his fastball. Yambati is already 6'4 185 lbs as a 19 year old and should be able to add more velocity to his fastball. Lots of projection with both here but one has to be intrigued by an 09 International class that includes the likes of these two with Cuthbert.

Two days before Christmas I visited the LA Childrens' Hospital to hand out toys and spend some time with the amazing children there.
Even though they were in the hospital over the holidays, the children were all so smiley, sweet and happy and seeing their faces light up when they got their toys was just the best feeling ever. It was such an inspirational visit for me and I'm so glad I got to help spread a little Christmas joy to the kids at LA Childrens' Hospital… that's what Christmas is all about.
Thanks to HobbyTron for donating over 500 toys for the children! You can "like" them on Facebook here.

The sacred relics were brought to Sri Lanka in a special Indian Air Force aircraft. A delegation from India led by Minister of Culture, Kumari Selja, accompanied the relics. Prior to the departure of the relics to Sri Lanka, the Sri Lankan Maha Sangha residents throughout India at several sites associated with the life of Gautama Buddha, performed special religious ceremony and offered Buddha Pooja at the Indian Air Force Base in Delhi. High Commissioner Prasad Kariyawasam and the staff at the Sri Lanka High Commission in India attended the event.

Mr. Rajapaksa carried the relics, which have been accorded the status of a head of state, from the tarmac to the VIP lounge, where about 100 senior monks chanted pirith (Sinhala word for protection from all directions). After the chanting, the relics were then taken in a procession from the airport to the Manelwatta Viharaya, Kelaniya. The relics will be on public display at the Viharaya for the next three days. The relics will travel through Sri Lanka and will be on public display till September 4.
"Thank you for bringing the relics to Sri Lanka," Mr. Rajapaksa told Ms. Selja, at a bilateral meet held soon after the relics left in the procession.
These relics of Buddha, which are known to the world as the 'Kapilavastu relics', are from a site in Bihar first discovered in 1898, which is believed to be the ancient city of Kapilavastu. This epoch-making discovery was at a stupa site, Piprahwa. The relic casket discovered in 1898 bore the inscription.
The first exposition of the sacred relics of Kapilavastu outside India was in Sri Lanka in 1978. Subsequent expositions of the relics took place in Mongolia in August 1993, in Singapore in July 1994, in South Korea in 1995 and in Thailand in 1996. Subsequently, taking into consideration the inestimable value and delicate nature of the relics, the authorities in India entrusted with the care of the relics decided that the sacred Kapilavastu relics will henceforth remain as a venerable object at the National Museum of India, New Delhi and will not be taken outside India for public veneration.
In June 2010, Mr. Rajapaksa had requested Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, to afford Sri Lankan Buddhists an opportunity to pay homage to the sacred Kapilavastu relics by allowing the relics to be taken to Sri Lanka. Making an exception, the Indian government decided to send the relics to Sri Lanka.
Authorities of both countries worked hard, with commitment and perseverance, to make this sacred exposition a reality by making substantial effort in terms of logistics, safety of the sacred relics, facilities for devotees to pay homage, and other matters that a monumental event of this nature involves.
