The annihilation of localApril 23,2014Educations experts and policymakers have spent four decades leading schools astray, promoting one ill-conceived pipe dream theory and practice after another.
From whole language, portfolios and obsessive standardized testing to No Child Left Behind and the Common Core, weve squandered two generations in thrall to bad ideas.
Each time things end in disaster, we turn again to the same experts and policymakers to save us. To promote their latest recycled scheme, these experts are fond of intoning that if you always do what youve always done, youll always get what youve always gotten. Its time we realized, even if they dont, that theyre talking about themselves.
Vermonters are now facing a move in our Legislature, endorsed by the states education bureaucracy, to consolidate our local schools into expanded districts. Some of us, thinking that consolidation would bring greater efficiency and therefore lower costs, may at first suppose there might be some fiscal merit in the proposal.
There isnt.
Even the bills supporters now generally concede theres little likelihood of savings and considerable probability that consolidation will increase the cost of public education. Thats because for every imagined economy of scale, at least as many inefficiencies arise owing to the greater distance of the new district bureaucracies from the classrooms where education happens.
While the bill does replace existing supervisory union superintendents with fewer uber-superintendents, anyone who thinks those expanded district superintendents wont be hiring a corps of assistant superintendents has never met a superintendent. In addition, the bill and its sponsors dont begin to account for the significant costs involved in leveling teachers salaries and equalizing tax rates.
With that reality in mind, the reality that consolidation wont save money, can we please stop citing the defeat of a fraction of the states school budgets as a justification for this bill?
Even more crucially, the bill does more than reshuffle supervisory unions. It eliminates local school boards.
Read that again.
It eliminates local school boards.
Eliminating those boards eliminates your power to control your local school. This means that you can be outvoted at the polls by residents from other towns regarding the districts school budget and your taxes and that your towns representative on the expanded board can be outvoted at meetings by representatives from the other towns in your new district. In short, the board members from other towns can vote to do anything they want in and with your towns school, including close it if they decide it will save the expanded district money.
The bills advocates insist it somehow protects small local schools. This is an illogical argument at best and a cynical deceit at worst.
With the bill financially all but indefensible, proponents now cite equity as its prime justification. While equity formerly meant the ability to spend money on school programs, which is why we relegislated our school tax system via Act 60 and Act 68, supporters now assert that equity means the quality and variety of educational opportunities available to students throughout the state. In other words, not only must the students in your school have access to the same amount of money, but the teachers, parents and residents in your town must decide to do the same things with that money as all other schools.
Advocates of the bill will doubtless claim Im overstating their intention. But if thats not what they mean, then their definition of equity and their justification of larger districts make no sense. The logical extension of their species of equity is that Vermont should be redefined as one large statewide school district.
Most proponents will deny thats what they have in mind. But if they mean what they say, thats what they logically should have in mind.
Im sure it will occur to them sooner or later.
Will the Legislature next contrive to eliminate select boards? Will road equity next be required of towns when it comes to asphalt and gravel? Shouldnt vital services such as police and fire protection be as equitably available as education? At least for our schools, voluntary cooperation is insufficient to satisfy the Legislature. Which town prerogative and service will fall next?
Proponents maintain that we must redefine local. They contend that just as neighborhoods once gave way to towns as our standard of local, so must we now abandon individual towns in favor of combinations of towns, that those expanded districts are our new local. Several flaws invalidate that argument. When we combined our hamlet schools, our towns already existed, and they were composed of our neighbors. Our towns werent artificially formulated and imposed to replace our neighborhoods.
Supporters nebulously claim the bill is about whats good for kids. The state Board of Education, in a typically meaningless flight of rhetoric, declares the bill will enable all students to thrive and prosper. No one is against children thriving and prospering. The question is who gets to decide whats good for your kids, what thriving and prospering look like for your children. This bill says its not up to towns, and its not up to parents. In place of towns and parents the Legislature would insert itself and its new mandated, expanded districts.
That arrogance is unconscionable.
The Legislatures blindness to the decades of follies and failures spawned by the Agency of Education and our states education bureaucrats, and its willingness to again trust the recommendations of those bureaucrats and to place consolidation in the hands of an agency design team, is appalling.
The Legislatures silence in the face of self-serving complaints that local governance of schools is too inconvenient and time-consuming is a dereliction and a disappointment.
A pernicious fault in public education is that too many decisions are already made by authorities too far removed from schools, classrooms, and students. This bill only extends that distance.
In a bid to garner support, some legislators have proposed permitting limited school choice within the expanded districts. Im not opposed to school choice.
But we need to remember, as we stand on the brink of tearing down our home-based system of schools, that the school choice that matters to most of us is the choice we exercise through our local boards to make our childrens schools what we want them to be.
Thats something none of us should be willing to lose or be compelled to surrender.

Welcome to Clevelinks, a new feature recapping the previous day or weekend's Indians news and Wahoo's on First commentary, as well as the best Tribe analysis from other sites.
Indians News
- Could the Indians' streak of arbitration settlements be coming to an end? Hearings begin this week, and GM Chris Antonetti isn't sure if the Tribe will be able to settle with Mike Aviles to avoid the team's first arbitration case in 22 years.
- Poor Russ Canzler has been designated for assignment again. This time the Yankees DFAed him to make room for the just-signed Travis Hafner. Will he end up in Cleveland again?
- Former Indians pitcher Kevin Millwood is calling it a career. Millwood, 38, went 9-11 with an AL-best 2.86 ERA with Cleveland in 2005. He'll make an interesting candidate for the Hall of Fame when he reaches the ballot in five years.
- Canzler wasn't the only former Indian to find a new home this weekend. Lars Anderson, whom the Tribe acquired for Steven Wright in July and flipped to the Diamondbacks in the Trevor Bauer trade, has been claimed by the White Sox after Arizona DFAed him.
Wahoo's on First Highlights
- Lewie called the Indians' failure to re-sign Travis Hafner a "called strike" in an otherwise great offseason.
- In this week's Wroundtable, we came up with a wish list of minor-league signings.
- Jeff offered some thoughts on Chief Wahoo and the Indians brand.
Tribe Analysis
- Bob Toth at Did the Tribe Win Last Night? sees the end of an era in Travis Hafner's signing with the Yankees.
- Terry Pluto isn't sold on either Manny Ramirez as a DH option or Lou Marson as a starting catcher.
- TD from WaitingForNextYear says his goodbye to Pronk.
- Paul Hoynes sees the Indians finishing fourth in the AL Central this year.
Shameless Self-Promotion
- Voting is underway for the 2013 SABR Analytics Research awards yesterday at SABR.org, Baseball Prospectus, FanGraphs, and The Hardball Times. I am among the nominees in the "Contemporary Baseball Commentary" category (the second one on the ballot) for an article I wrote entitled "Did Hall of Fame's Founders Want Voters to Judge With Their Eyes?". If you like my work I would appreciate your support; either way, please take a few minutes to read and support some of the best baseball writing around.

From OPENForum.com:
Communities regularly rally around foundering businesses facing sudden rent hikes, for example, or owners struggling with medical issues. Strong community support like this isn't a replacement for smart management — when industries change or business models don't show profits, then it's up to the business owner to find long-term solutions. But even solid, profitable operations can hit random snags that threaten to sink the whole venture. That's often when they find out just how strong their community ties are.
It's here! Foursquare finally launched self-serve ads for small businesses on their social media platform.
What does this mean for your mom and pop shop?
From the Foursquare announcement:
"The idea behind these new ads is simple – connect people looking for somewhere to go with businesses that want to drive traffic to their stores. Foursquare is the best way for those businesses to reach nearby customers."

The final six months of this year is set to be the deadliest period for journalists in the past 10 years. According to figures for deaths for the June to November period, 71 journalists have been killed across the globe, bringing the total for the year to 105. Iraq surpassed all other countries, with a total of 23 media workers having lost their lives. Elsewhere, legislative measures, financial harassment and security laws continue to be used as means to harass journalists and limit press freedom. Self-censorship, a natural response to repression and the threat of violence or death, is an endemic problem in Central Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. (Via World Association of Newspapers)

When I did the original post for The Love Letter I kept in mind Newton's Law of Motion: To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction
Tomorrows theme is the opposite reaction: "There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me."

You might think that years of viewing porn on the Internet has shown you everything, every debasing act, every humiliation sexual position, you could care to witness. You would, however, be wrong. Hardcore Doorway offers ten sites, seven of them exclusive, loaded with the hardest, most debasing porn on the 'net. There's not only tits, asses, and pussies here, folks, there's vomit, spitting, verbal abuse, racial insults, and slapping. Dante famously passed through a gate reading "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,"; that sign might be at home above Hardcore Doorway, too.
The site in question combines two of my favorite things: hard rock and glam rock! So, you've got bands like New York Dolls and T-Rex and The Sweet but don't you wish they'd rock a little harder? More like MC5 or something! Yeah! Imagine Marc Bolan fronting MC5 or Phil Lynott writing songs for The Stooges. That'd be wicked! Oh…UK porn? Niche stuff and regular hardcore? Sounds all right, I guess… not as cool as Lynott and Iggy sharing the stage, but whatever.
Whether or not you've set up a camcorder, aimed it at your bed, hit record, then proceeded to attempt to fuck like a pornstar, you, like everyone in this day and age, are surely aware that more and more people appear to be taking advantage of rapidly advancing technology by shooting homemade sex movies. Homemade Video Pass is a five-site network that finds leaked blowjobs, surreptitiously shot sapphic romps, and even some of the wildest orgies suburban America has to offer, and it throws them all together in one neat venue. How's that for a peek into your neighbors bedroom?
With three years of activity under its belt, the Puba network, home to some of porn's most popular female stars, continues its assault on your senses with an ever-growing collection of hardcore sex scenes, live shows, masturbation videos, Reality TV-style interview clips, and photoshoots that present such babes as London Keyes, Natasha Nice, and Shyla Stylez in a very flattering light. Not without problems, though, Puba struggles to gain a lead on the dozens and dozens of other worthwhile sources of pornstar-starring porn scenes. Without addressing its issues soon, Puba might end up sitting rather uncomfortably at the bottom of the heap and that's certainly not where it could (and should) be.
It's been a long day you've spent slaving away for someone else's success and, fuck it, it's time for porn. But what do you choose when you've seen and beaten off to everything a straight, gay, or bisexual guy beats off to? Trannies! Tranny Ticket presents six hardcore porn sites focusing on men transitioning into womanhood, all at various stages. Whether it's a tranny beating her dick while fondling a boob with her free hand or some simple tranny-on-tranny assfucking you desire, you'll most certainly find it at Tranny Ticket.
What turns people to a career in the pornographic arts? The money? The attention? The Fleshlight endorsement possibilities? When it comes to the amateur harlot Alanna Thomas and her friends, it's nymphomania that has spurred their homemade hardcore creations and led to the opening of the new-ish ten-site Nymphos Network. Simply put, the women featured here might look like everyday housewives, aunts, office workers, and schoolmarms, but they're hiding some deep, dark, utterly depraved secrets: anal pounding, double-penetrations, bukkake parties, black cock obsession, cunt-lapping lesbianism, and even some masked anonymous gangbanging, too! Nymphos Network does have a few problems, sure, but it's also a fascinating look into the everyday sexual underworld of the good ol' USA.
Filled with the sluttiest 40-something, 50-something, and 60-something women you've ever seen spreading their thighs on camera, Mature Mega Pass and its plethora of networked websites offer a huge exclusive collection of original hardcore porn ranging from vanilla hetero sex to the wildest bisexual orgies you can imagine, and every woman (save for those on one teen site) is a wrinkled, grey-haired, veteran who has more experience with cocks and cunts both than the top five pornstars under 30 combined. If you're into cougars, MILFs, GILFs, and GGILFs and can afford the decidedly princely membership fee, Mature Mega Pass has exactly what you need, and plenty of it!
You've got a hard drive loaded with your favorite porn clips, galleries, and full-length features, but what about Dirty Hard Drive, a six-site network filled with scintillating smut from the likes of Katie Kox, Sophie Dee, and Kiera King? Having been pumping out the porn for about three years, Dirty Hard Drive should now be hitting its stride, solidifying its place in the online porn market. Then again, maybe it is faltering and falling further behind the competition with update-less periods and non-HD videos causing discontent among members. You know all about your dirty hard drive already, so why not let Mr. Pink tell you all about this Dirty Hard Drive?

Stewart Hendler's remake of the cult 1983 slasher horror The House on Sorority Row (aka The House of Evil) tells the tale of a university prank gone wrong, and the terrible revenge that the act provokes.
When the women of Rosman University's Theta Pi house throw a wild party, they set up Megan's (Audrina Patridge) boyfriend Garrett (Matt O'Leary) to think that he's overdosed her on a date-rape drug.
Together, Garrett and Megan's friends Jessica (Leah Pipes), Chugs (Margo Harshman) and Ellie (Rumer Willis) take the 'corpse' off to a disused quarry for disposal. Unfortunately, at the quarry things don't go to plan and Megan is actually killed by accident.
After a quick discussion, the shocked students decide to hide their friend's body and hope for the best.
Eight months later it seems as though they have managed to get away with their crime. But, on the night of Theta Pi's graduation party, it becomes suddenly, violently clear that someone hasn't forgotten the sorority sisters' misdeed, and is out for bloody revenge on all participants in Megan's manslaughter.

Some of the machines I am afraid to use because you have to put all your weight on one side just to get on the damn thing.. what if it tips over when im doing this? I would die of embarrassment and the stationary bikes you have to lift your leg really high to get on the damn thing and that is not an easy task for me I tell ya what.. I do it anyway but it sucks and I always feel like everyone is watching me... Well I suppose I will let ya know how it all goes the next time I blog.. untill then I guess
Well Today is the first day of Jo's Journey I suppose. I would like to say that I'm ever so excited about this but that is just not the case. I wish I could just skip all the hard work and get right to the results lol but that isn't gonna happen. I am looking forward to the end result though whatever that may be. I really want to be able to run and chase my children and right now I can't even do a real jog so I definitely have some improving to do. I suppose thats all for day one of my ever so awesome blog

CNN just put in their entry, via a commercial for paraphernalia:
"Now history comes in your size."
My entry is still a rough draft:
"Race me."
I think "Race me" is one of the dumbest things you can say, even dumber than a bad ad slogan, but it's probably not the dumbest sentence ever. I will be returning to this topic at a later date.
BREAKING NEWS - The AP just posted their entry:
"Lybian leader Muammar Gaddafi suggested Wednesday that Israel and Palestine should unite in one single state called "Isratine.""
*EDIT - The Larry King entry:
"Donald Trump Jr.'s organized a mixed martial arts competition called "A Day of Recknoning" and Trump says it's boxing at the next level."
"Optimism has returned to America," says Liu before Sting takes the stage to sing, "Brand New Day."
I know (right?) I could be on a beach right now, metaphorically. Although, that's not a metaphor. This is a metaphor: My humps are like a very Presidential couplet of humps, today. RIGHT????

The United Irishmen, 1798
A liberal political organisation in eighteenth century Ireland that sought Parliamentary reform. However, it evolved into a revolutionary republican organization, inspired by the American Revolution and allied with Revolutionary France. It launched the Irish Rebellion of 1798 with the objective of ending British monarchical rule over Ireland and founding an independent Irish republic.
At this first meeting, the group, which became known as the United Irishmen, passed the following three resolutions:
- That the weight of English influence in the Government of this country is so great as to require a cordial union among all the people of Ireland, to maintain that balance which is essential to the preservation of our liberties and the extension of our commerce
- That the sole constitutional mode by which this influence can be opposed is by a complete and radical reform of the people in Parliament
- That no reform is just which does not include Irishmen of every religious persuasion.

Hopewell Culture
Administrative History
PREFACE and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Figure 1: Entrance sign to Hopewell Culture National Historical Park's Mound City Group/National Park Service administrative headquarters. (NPS/1996)
President Warren G. Harding signed a presidential proclamation on March 2, 1923, establishing the Mound City Group National Monument, thereby preserving a group of prehistoric (ca. 200 B.C. to A.D. 500) Hopewell burial mounds. The proclamation declared the mounds to be "... an object of great historic and scientific interest [to] be permanently preserved and protected from all depredations and from all changes that will to any extent mar or jeopardize their value...."
Mound City Group, in south central Ohio near Chillicothe, was originally administered by the War Department, but managed by the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society as a state memorial under a revocable license. This arrangement continued in 1933 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt reorganized the executive branch and a number of national monuments, including Mound City Group, were transferred to National Park Service administration. Bowing to local pressure, NPS revoked the license with the state society in 1946, and Mound City Group thereafter came under National Park Service management. Since 1946, several additions have been made to the monument's land base and a development program undertaken. In 1980, Congress added Hopeton Earthworks National Historic Landmark to the park, and in 1992, it included several other ancient earthworks to form Hopewell Culture National Historical Park. Mound City Group remains as a subunit of this newly expanded park.
The National Park Service's Cultural Resource Management Guideline (NPS-28) calls for the preparation of an administrative history for each unit in the national park system. An administrative history preserves information necessary to the history of a park and provides a historic basis for park management decisions. This research project concludes at the 1992 redesignation to Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, but superintendent's annual reports are used to update events through 1996. The primary information base for this history are National Park Service libraries and files of Mound City Group/Hopewell Culture and the Midwest Regional Office, Federal Record Centers in Philadelphia and Kansas City, Ohio Historical Society, Ross County Historical Society, Chillicothe Gazette, as well as oral history interviews.
Preliminary research was accomplished in the mid-1980s by Volunteer-In-Park Naomi L. Hunt. Some of Naomi Hunt's effort appears in these pages. The author began a new start in 1992 with archival research substantially completed by December 1992. Oral history interviews were conducted in 1993, the time when the author changed positions from senior research historian to regional historian/ chief, branch of history. Unfortunately, demands of the new position resulted in frustrating delays in completing this project as originally planned. The 1995 reorganization further delayed the project with a whole new set of priorities. Finally, the author began a long-term training opportunity in early 1996, with a duty-station change to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for five months each subsequent year. Thanks to the blessings of a flexiplace schedule and working two days per week in quiet solitude at home, the draft document finally crystallized in late 1997.
The methodology used in organizing this project can be seen in the table of contents. With a few exceptions, events leading up through the superintendency of Clyde B. King are presented chronologically and include Chapters One through Chapter Three. Thereafter, the chapter format becomes topical, although the chronological approach remains within each section.
Many individuals directly or indirectly assisted in this effort. I am indebted to the individuals who agreed to sit for oral history interviews and share their memories. Special thanks go to Bill Gibson, Ken Apschnikat, Bonnie Murray, Mark Lynott, Phillip Egan, and John Kawamoto. Of course Naomi L. Hunt merits tremendous praise for ignoring her well-deserved retirement from the National Park Service's Washington Office where she served as editor of the Courier to take on this thankless chore. Her concerted effort resulted in locating original documents, conducting interviews and letters, and a first stab at making sense of this long-neglected period of park administrative history.
My appreciation is also extended to the park staff, particularly Superintendent John Neal, Administrative Officer Bonnie Murray, Administrative Assistant Laura Long, Chief of Interpretation and Resource Management Bob Burgoon, Park Ranger Rebecca Jones, and Archeologist Bret J. Ruby. All of them responded to repeated requests for information and never let me down. Their patience and understanding during the several years when I seemingly made no progress on this study is now hopefully rewarded. I am still amazed by their failure to complain about why this history took so long to prepare.
Thanks, too, go to the various archivists at the two Federal Records Centers, Ohio Historical Society, Ross County Historical Society, and Dwight D. Eisenhower Library.
Finally, kind thoughts go to Donald L. Stevens, Jr., a faithful friend and colleague who helped "hold down the fort" during my absences from the office. Following a decade of professional association, Dr. Stevens, always eager to discuss the fine points of administrative history, remains a valued peer. Equally warm thoughts go to mentors, Ed Bearss and Andy Ketterson, whose support, encouragement, and wise counsel continue to shape and guide this most enjoyable and challenging career as a National Park Service historian. I will never forget them.

This document underwent a lengthy review process during the first half of 1998. The author made another trip to Chillicothe in the summer to gather additional information for the chapter 1 section entitled "American Archeology and Hopewell Culture," which served as the basis for a graduate independent readings in anthropology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. It has enriched the introductory chapter and hopefully places Hopewellian studies and the role Mound City Group played within the overall history of American archeology. The author also gathered photographs and Squier and Davis drawings from park archives. Final corrections were made in late 1998 and early 1999.

How to Discover The Secret of Contentment
- Wednesday, June 08, 2011
Use God's math to find contentment. From God's perspective, you can find contentment by adding and subtracting. When you add the burden of an awareness of your sin to the other burdens that are making you feel discontented, you'll see that your sin is the greatest problem. Confess and repent of whatever sins God brings to your mind. When you subtract desires that don't please God by purging them from your life, you open your soul to receive the contentment God wants to give you, so you'll be at peace with the right desires at the right times.
Long for heaven. Recognize that you're ultimately a citizen of heaven rather than this fallen world, so you can be content that you can do God-given work while you're here and then move on to be in heaven – where you'll enjoy being in Jesus' presence, with nothing to separate you anymore. Whenever you must endure suffering on earth, remind yourself of the wonderful times that await you in heaven, where you will have your deepest desires fulfilled.
Find contentment by enjoying God and His promises. You can be content when you realize that God will give you what you need the most, since He loves you completely and unconditionally. Remind yourself of God's many promises to you in the Bible, from salvation through Jesus to working everything that you experience together to accomplish good purposes in your life. Thank God regularly for the many gifts He has given you.
Keep dying to yourself and living for God and others. You can keep growing more content when you choose each day to die to selfish desires and pursuits and instead live in ways that please God and show His love to other people. As you decide to choose faithfulness over selfishness, you'll gain freedom over sin that causes restless discontent and be able to enjoy calm contentment in any situation. You'll discover that your greatest joy comes from God Himself, who is with you no matter what circumstances you go through.

Well, I'll have to put some thought into this one but no way I could steep lower than Hello Kitty, lol Jk I'll be Goku, from DBZ a I am not human but a Saiyan and have great pride towards my race but I live now to protect those on earth from the evil and threat of evil scientist, androids, my own kind, plus some more aliens like (Frieza, Cell, Boo are the main ones but there are more of them out there)
I have come back from training with Shenron after defeating the Dragonball Dragons now the legacy will continue through me Just call me GokuSS9
come on now people (YOU HAVE TO ADD TO THE STORY) not just create a character….now lets see…
as zabuza momochi & I continue on our way to stop the evil crime syndicate from dumping toxic waste into the ogaha river we run into GokuSS9 who is training with Shenron. Sypathitc to our cause Shenron sends GokuSS9 with us to stop the evil crime syndicate from dumping toxic waste into the ogaha river…..
as we continue on our journey we are atacked by three ninjas, we each fight one ninja I finish mine off quickly by cutting him in half with my sword. kitty white uses his claws to rip the ninjas skin off. gokuSS9 destroys his ninja with a kamaemae (sorry about the spelling) blast. now that the ninjas are destroyed we continue onward on our Quest.

Well to continue with the story After that encounter with the ninja all was going well except for the fact that these ninjas were no ordinary ones! Out of the bloom a whole army of ninjas pop out. Now these three wariors have to fight for their lives... as predicted Goku has no problem and anaialates the enemy with one blast. This how ever was not the best choice because by doing so a new enemy had been exposed! What will come of the three wariors...to be continued.

I'm gonna be Kuchiki Bayakura from Bleach!
As i join all the other guys after the ninjas were defeated, a big black void opens and out comes a gigantic monster!
"Scatter Kikubaku" My sword scatters into a million dancing blades that are impossible to count and destroy the monster!
"Man, i am so kick ass!!!"

The rumors likely won't stop anytime soon in regards to the Lakers head coach, and the latest is one of the biggest. Dave McMenamin of ESPN LA reports that the Lakers will reach out to the Bulls for permission to interview Tom Thibodeau.
The Lakers plan to reach out to the Chicago Bulls for permission to interview Tom Thibodeau, a league source tells http://t.co/8DsJGhr2Pi
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) May 1, 2014
Thibs is one of the biggest names in the league for head coaches, having won Coach of the Year in 2011. More importantly, he has the support and backing of superstar Kobe Bryant, who has Thibs as his #1 preference according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo.
The Lakers have lost talent, lost stability, lost what separates winning and losing franchises. Bryant won't pick the next coach, the way he had no input into Mike Brown and little into D'Antoni. Bryant will wish for Tom Thibodeau to free himself from Chicago. He loves Jeff Van Gundy, and shares management's affinity for Euro legend Ettore Messina, who spent a season on Mike Brown's staff.
Thibs won't be the first or last person interviewed by the Lakers, who plan on interviewing a who's who of candidates within the coming weeks. Despite not being the most experienced on the list of candidates, Thibs is certainly worthy.

Historians Excavate 100-Year-Old Antarctic Scotch
About a century ago, Sir Ernest Shackleton left behind his stash of hooch while exploring one of the last frontiers on earth. Being a professional, he came well-equipped with dozens of cases of whisky, two of which were found in 2006 under the floorboards of an old shack, frozen in the ice.
Back then the necessities of traveling to the far reaches of the Earth had to include booze, as the alternative was huddling up next to your long-unwashed companions for warmth.
The bottles couldn't be removed when they were found, but as it happens, ice-melting technology has advanced so far in these last few years they're going to free them up once summer hits the Antarctic this year.
Sadly, the ancient hooch won't hit the auction block, with the exception of maybe one or two bottles, as it legally has to remain where it is for historical reasons. But that does lead to the possibility of an army of completely trashed penguins, which can't be a bad thing.

"Sadly, the ancient hooch won't hit the auction block, with the exception of maybe one or two bottles, as it legally has to remain where it is for historical reasons." That makes no sense. Who writes these stories? The scotch either has to remain where they found it or it doesn't have to remain where they found it. Why would they bother going back and melting the ice to retrieve the scotch if it just has to remain there anyway?

You're right about the illogic. Plus I don't think there's a law or treaty prohibiting taking historical stuff (including booze) out of Antarctica, provided it's done under appropriate scholarly controls. Historic preservation geeks (like me) often overinterpret the laws and claim that things must be protected absolutely, but that's rarely if ever really true.

Sir Ernest liked traveling so much that when he dies, his wife said "bury him where he has spent most of his time".
He is buried on the islands of South Georgia.

Mike, I read the article, it states that ice melting technology has improved to melt the ice, it does not mention global warming. Also, if the earth is getting warmer, how is it that the scotch was found in ice, not on the bare gound, and was frozen in. Seems it's gotten colder there.

ummmm, GCHJR...sir they do make the global warming reference. And yes while there is a joke there, it's really dark humour because it's such a real and terrifying problem. If you click on the "ice-melting technology has advanced so far in these last few years" line it will take you straight to what the "ice-melting technology" is. Your colder winters do not mean anything. It's the polar ice caps, sea levels and land/beach errosion that we must pay attention to. That and the higher rates people developing skin cancer in the next few years. Stop listening to that dumb redneck Rush Limbaugh and get an education!!

text: Hello,Hoping a cable expert can chime in. I experienced a mini power outage (about 10 minutes at most) at around 9:25pm Saturday; a whole bunch of streets in the area were out as well. My three UPS devices automatically kicked in for the modem, routers, laptops, monitors etc...What surprised me was that cable service went out as well (modem reported Sync timing errors, MDD, T3 timeouts etc). I thought Rogers had backup power for their equipment and network? Internet service did come back online though when the lights were back on.To be fair, I didn't check whether the internet came back within the first few minutes of the outage (maybe it took 1-2mins for Rogers' backup power systems to kick in?) or whether it came back only when utility power was restored (which would be quite disappointing consider their reliability claims and that they have Home Phone customers relying on their equipment)Thoughts and experiences?

Tickets for the Paris concert should be available today (April 9) from sallepleyel.fr. Tickets for the Toronto concert will go on sale on April 23.
Solo concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome on July 11, 2014
Keith Jarrett will play a solo concert at Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome on July 11, 2014.
Tickets will go on sale on Monday, March 24.
Solo concerts in Paris and Naples might also be announced soon, but they're currently not confirmed.
Keith Jarrett will not play in Juan-les-Pins in 2014
According to Nice Matin, Keith Jarrett will not play in Juan-les-Pins in 2014:
On sait déjà qu'il se fera sans le pianiste Keith Jarrett, dont la prestation l'an dernier a déçu l'organisateur et le public.
« Ce n'est pas un départ définitif,souligne Jean-René Palacio. Mais je pense qu'il faut souffler au moins un an ». Avec ses deux complices, Jack DeJohnette et Gary Peacock, Jarrett venait de fêter les 30 ans de son trio… et leur 22e saison consécutive dans la pinède Gould !
To my knowledge, this will be the first time since 1999 that Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette will not play at the Jazz in Juan festival.
Thanks to Håvard for the link.
40th anniversary of the Bremen concert
On July 12, 1973, Keith Jarrett played a solo concert at the Sendesaal in Bremen, Germany. Part of that concert was released on "Solo Concerts: Bremen/Lausanne".
Forty years later, on July 12, 2013, a "virtual concert" (that is, without Keith Jarrett) will take place at the same venue. A complete recording of the 1973 concert will be played, "including the unpublished portion of the first set" ("inklusive des unveröffentlichten Teils des ersten Sets").
More information about this event (tickets, etc.) are available on sendesaal-bremen.de.
Thanks to Hartmut for the information!

I have a lot of redness in my cheeks due to rosacea and this really does a great job of keeping it covered without feeling like I have too much makeup on. Also has not broken me out at all and I feel like my skin is less angry since I have been using it. I previously had been using Studio Fix for years. I thought I loved it, but this is far more natural looking. When I started using the Clinique I had several people tell me that my skin looked good, including my husband. I even had a woman whom I see pretty regularly in a local store ask me if I had changed my makeup and told me that I looked really good. While I was happy for the compliment, couldn't help but wonder how bad I had been looking prior to this makeup. I took it as a sign that I should stick with it. I also appreciate that Clinique's compacts are very sturdy, cheap packaging is such a pet peeve of mine.

This is a pretty decent powder foundation. It's odd to me that most powder foundations I try, high or low end, all end up looking the same on me. It makes me question whether higher-priced brands are really better. I went to Sephora to compare this to the Laura Mercier powder foundation that I've been contemplating buying and they seemed identical in finish and color. As with most powder foundations, this looks powdery and a little chalky on me in the morning, but looks great once my natural oils have moistened it up a little bit. And as with all powder foundations, it looks pretty bad at the end of the day with serious caking and separation. On the positive side, the #1 shade is a pretty decent match on me and only slightly oxidizes during the day, probably not even noticeable to anyone but me. It also doesn't break me out, but I feel like it could end up drying my face a bit if I wear it too often. Like I said, it's pretty decent and basic. Great for those who don't like to fuss a lot with foundation!

May I often stray for the "next best thing" i always return back to my almost powder. Just one application with the sponge gives me the natural coverage I need while giving me that "poreless" face. For even heavier coverage it works well over the new Moisturesurge TM (since everything else is DC). For those who hate the sponge, if you can find a small brush (ex the brushes from PF Happy Boosters) they fit over the plastic cover inside and it closes for touch ups if you want a brush. I really wish they would return to the old packaging they use with Perfectly Real compact. The plastic separator can get annoying to mess with.
One of the main reasons I enjoy this powder for so long is that is doesn't have bismuth (they use Boron Nitride, same as Jane Iredale) and is enough coverage to hide the extra redness in my cheeks without losing all my freckles. So I look polished without looking caked up. I have normal/sometimes oily, sometimes dry skin, and this powder lasts a good 8 hours on me without any touch ups.
I switched to Jane Iredale Purepressed Base for about a year and while I enjoyed its coverage, I didn't enjoy price. I find this a great cheaper alternative for very similar product. Both finely milled, sheer and natural looking. If you are having reactions to Bismuth I would give this a try before going down the JI line. Its half the price of the JI and gives a very similar, if not better coverage than the JI. I hope they never DC this product. Quite possibly the best one they have IMO.

I pretty much threw out all my concealers and foundations after getting this powder--no joke. In search of getting the perfect coverage, I had bought tons of concealers, creams, etc. Little did I know, Clinique's Almost Powder was all I needed. Got the little sucker in Neutral Fair and when used with my Beauty Blender, it gives plenty of coverage for my acne scars and it lasts throughout an 8-hour work day. Color-wise, I'm not sure it matches my NC15 Asian skin "perfectly" so I'll probably go back and get rematched...Neutral Fair is the yellowest (the swatches online even look YELLOW) but when worn, it almost seems pinkish? Although, my perception has been off many times (according to friends). Other than that, it is my HG powder/face coverage. All you really need is moisturizer and you're out the door.

SUPERB. I have tried them all and this is the best ever! Medium for autumn and winter and into early spring and dark for summer - coverage is superb - can be varied by use of a brush for light and the puff for deeper. Covers any flaws, is good for the skin and looks sensational. WELL WORTH THE COST. Compared to Chanel and MAC, this is very inexpensive and has the highest quality ingredients.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Have been using this for about a month now. I have it in 02 Netural Fair. Provides good coverage: light if you apply with a brush; medium if you use the sponge that comes with the compact. I have acne scars and this covers them well, not completely, but enough that you hardly notice them. Provides a nice, light, smooth finish. Good for oily skin; doesn't cause my face to become an oil slick but I can see it being a bit drying for those with normal/dry skin. Also, this does not brake me out. Would recommend this product for those with oily or acne prone skin. I will definitely be repurchasing!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
great finishing powder. i use it over my anti-blemish solution make up. nice coverage. gives u a natural, silky look. i'm halftrough it and the powder broke into tiny pieces. really annyoing
(0 - 5 points, 5 = excellent, 0 = very bad)
coverage*: 5, texture: 5
feeling: 5, skin-type**: 4
blendable?: 5, staying power: 4
TOTAL POINTS: 28 of 30 = excellent
* Is the coverage what it's supposed to be?
** Does it suit the skin type(s) it's supposed to be for?
I love it - it's so perfect for my combination skin! I experienced no break-outs as others wrote. The texture is sooo silky and I don't get oily for about 3-4 hours and that's a very good result for my skin!
They don't sell it with the sponge shown in the pics above any longer (I'm sure that is why some of you wrote about "cakeyness"!), but with a brush. I don't use this brush either (too small for my opinion) and I found out about how to build up the coverage! Application with
- duo-fibre brush: light coverage
- foundation or powder brush: light - medium coverage
- sponge: medium - full coverage
The application is easy (no streaks) and fast too. I don't use foundation underneath either. Plus: "01 Fair" is perfect for my very light complexion.
So far I've been using this for about 3 days and I am LOVING the result. When you first apply Almost Powder it has a normal powdery almost cakey appearance. But as the product warms up on your face it softens and almost melts into your skin and becomes this soft "skin-like" texture. Hopefully that makes sense. Ha! I'm a Mac NW20 and I went with 02 Neutral Fair and it's a perfect match. I'm extremely extremely acne prone so hopefully this wont break me out like so many other powders. My fingers are super crossed for that! I will definitely update my review in the next month or so. So far I am absolutely loving this stuff!
EDIT: I know I'm late on the update but in the end this DID break me out pretty bad. Such a freakin' sad story too. Its sitting in my drawer all sad and lonely now. I will say however I've had good luck with LM Mineral Powder not breaking me out. Check that out if you're extremely acne prone like me!
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This powder is the perfect combination of coverage and sheerness at the same time. It gives a natural skin finish instead of being matte and looks just like skin but better!
It is great to use over a liquid foundation to set and even out, as it gives a light coverage when applied with a brush but a little more with a sponge!
I love this powder and cannot go without it..i wear it on its own over my mosituriser during the day ( it has spf 15 too! ) and over my foundation at night!
only thing i would suggest is to wear an oil free or oil absorbing primer underneath due to it not being very matte!
overall, a fab powder that doesnt EVER cake, feels natural and looks just like skin!

future conditions. However, the prospect of changing states of atmospheric conditions and climate behavior, associated with anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, calls this assumption into question. As a result, many water managers today are exploring ways of adjusting water planning and management strategies.
The study of climates that occurred before direct measurements of weather and climate data—paleoclimatology—can serve as part of the hydroclimatic information considered in water management decisions. This field of study draws upon indirect, or proxy, information about past climate conditions obtained from evidence contained in glacial ice, landscape features, sediment deposits in ancient lakes, pollen, species distributions, preserved organisms (e.g., mollusks), and middens. The science of dendrochronology, or the study of the sequences of annual growth layers (rings) of coniferous trees, is particularly relevant in the Colorado River basin. For several decades, cores from coniferous trees in the western United States have been analyzed to enhance understanding of past climate. Recent tree-ring analyses have incorporated updated chronologies and longer calibration periods to estimate annual Colorado River flows over the past several centuries. These new dendrochronological reconstructions have stimulated heightened interest in questions regarding the rarity and recurrence of drought conditions across the region.
This chapter discusses fundamental features and dynamics of Colorado River basin climate (including climate trends and future climate scenarios), the gaged record of Colorado River streamflow, and tree-ring studies of past Colorado River region streamflow. The concluding Commentary section discusses implications of this hydrologic and climatic information for water resources planning and decisions.
The Colorado River is primarily a snowmelt-driven system, with most precipitation in the basin falling as winter snowfall in higher

My HAIR On My Mind: The Future For My HAIR
14 comments:
- amija said... [Reply to comment]
I'm starting to feel the same way. It's like for healthy relaxed hair I have to stretch. To stretch I have to wear a wig or kinky twists. When I do relax, I can only wear my hear for about 5-6 weeks, then my ng starts to get crazy so I have to put it away for at least the next 8 to whatever weeks. So basically I can only wear my hair as relaxed for about 1/3 of the time. I might as well go natural and straighten my hair.

Makes a lot of sense, you can always relax again if you get sick of your natural hair but you can't undo relaxed hair.
Look forward to reading about your new mini journey.

I have hun!!! Pretty much decided after the wash day following the one where I was all set to relax my hair, just been taking my time getting from 90-100%. I'm there now...
I'm not kidding myself that it will be easy. Looking forward to the months ahead.
Thanks for commenting .

Exactly what I was thinking. This long into a stretch and hiding my hair, it just made sense to see how I cope with it in its natural state....
Thanks for commenting!

- Simply Into My HAIR / Simply Into My NAILS said... [Reply to comment]
I hear you!!!!
I felt exactly the same way..... I also knew that in those 5-6 weeks I'd be missing my units and wanting to wear them but not being able to because of protecting my newly relaxed edges.
I'm sure you'll decide what works best for you over time. I'll probably be reclaimed again by this time next year! ;)
Thanks for commenting.

I feel you 100%. For me, I've been struggling to grow beyond BSL with relaxed hair for a couple of years now. And I don't mind hiding my hair as much as I thought I would. I'm devoted to saying I am stretching my relaxer because I have not made any grand decisions to "go natural" but I am determined to have long, healthy hair from root to tip that I can manage while working out. So whatever decision that helps me achieve that, I'm going to do! I especially understand Amija's comment. I'll be following right along with you girlie...wigs and all! Hahahahaha!
- 8 April 2014 04:52
Well I wish you well on your hair journey. I will miss you as another relaxed blogger is also going natural. I hope you still keep up your posts regarding relaxed hair. I love maintaining healthy relaxed hair and I'm not about growth beyond BSL or anything like that. I like to wear my hair out and about so I'm not a big protective style person. When I stretch my relaxers I just do roller sets and bantu knots but I understand some women like protective styles for the ease. I will check in your blog to read about your journey but I really will miss your blog. Good luck.
- 9 April 2014 05:57
What is it about your relaxed hair that you have difficulty with when working out? There is a fitness model on Instragram I followed and she works out like everyday and maintains her relaxed hair. Have you tried products like Save my do and using coconut oil on your edges to prevent swelling from the sweat. Or cooling your hair down with the cold air from a hair dryer. I know relaxers chemically straightened the hair so even when it's wet it will dry back straight.
- 9 April 2014 06:02
- Simply Into My HAIR / Simply Into My NAILS said... [Reply to comment]
You know I've been keeping up to date with your strech. Like you, Amja's comment rang true for me - my hair was pretty much in protective styles for the most part, I would only wear it out for the first 4 weeks after my relaxer then it would be hidden away for three times as long.
I may relax my hair again in the future but for now I'm happy to take a detour on my HHJ.
I hope your stretch continues to go well hun and that you reach your goals.
Thanks for commenting.

Thank you so much. I will stil be here bloggig away. I think the main differnece in my posts will be the lack or my Relaxer Days posts but apart from that (and hopefully a reduction in sheding!) it will be pretty much the same as I will continue to protective styl for some time yet.
Thanks for continuing to check in on the blog - it is appreciated.

severe hair loss is my biggest problem right now.
Can you post some advice on what to do to regain faster hair growth? Your advice might be a great help to me.

doesnt this work for other oses?
Much of the competition are all Unix/Linux based, and as such the APIs are
*very* similar from one to another. As a result, you get 2 effects:
1) MacOX, Solaris, RedHat Enterprise (and so on) all have mostly the same POSIX
API, so a vendor can get stuff working on one, and have a pretty easy time
moving to another. If you're being careful in your coding and avoiding most of
the weirder vendor-specific extensions, moving from (for instance) Solaris to
RHEL is actually easier than XP->Vista. So if your OS vendor screws the pooch,
you can often get your application for another system.
2) Since there *isn't* as strong a lock-in as with a Microsoft OS, all the
OS vendors have a big incentive to *not* screw the pooch by making radical
incompatible changes - they get done in evolutionary compatible ways. And
since the OS is all open-source, an enhancement done by one vendor will
eventually show up in the others if it's a useful feature (there's been a
number of things that have over the years crossed from Linux into the
*BSD/Darwin/OSX world and visa versa).
Also, most of the open-source companies have a totally different business
model. They can't make much money selling me open-source bits - what we pay
them for is *support*. I hit a bug, but I have better things to do than
track it down - I throw it at the vendor, and they do the bugfixing and
ship me a new version. A new release of OpenOffice comes out, with different
pre-requisites, I pay the vendor to sort it all out and build it to save me
the time and effort.
So Microsoft has good economic reasons to *not* fix stuff so they keep their
customers captive - while RedHat's survival depends on them shipping me stuff
that *works*. Different market niche, different mindset, different results.

Celebrate Good Times! || Cherry
"Well, the things you sacrifice for what you love," he said easily, because he had a feeling he knew where Rachel's heart lied, and that was with her performing career. Finn should have known losing her sometimes came with the territory. Tina for sure knew that his rehearsals cut into their Skype time.
"I don't do any sports, no. I mean, they were fun while they lasted, but they were just time fillers. Why do that when I can dance? That's what I really want to spend my time doing." He said surely with a smile and could almost see Finn wonder where his football friend had gone. He shrugged a bit. "That's not to say I don't toss a football around every now and then," he assured him.
"Finn plays football with some of the guys at his shop. Down at the park, on Saturdays. I guess he'll be playing more often now, since I'll be so busy with rehearsal." Rachel put in. She glanced back at him, noting the frown that crossed his face again.
"Right, yeah. Or basketball. You can join us if you'd like, Mike." He shrugged, before turning his attention to his fiancee. "Babe, we should really get going. It'll be late soon, and I have work in the morning…" He trailed off.
"Oh. Sure. I mean, I guess I should get plenty of rest before rehearsal tomorrow." She turned back to Mike, as Finn signaled the waiter for the bill. "I'll see you there, right?" She asked Mike.

In the past I thought for instance the BOOK ON THE TABLE had only 1 force, and that force was gravity. I couldn't see that something that wasn't living could push back. I thought that this push back force wasn't a real force but just an in the way force or an outside influence on the book.
However, my ideas have changed since the beginning of this year. Sr. Hennessey helped me to see the difference between the macroscopic level and the microscopic level. That was last year. But I never really thought about the difference very much.
This year, I began to think about the book on the table differently than [last school year] I was thinking on the macroscopic level and not on the microscopic level. This year I wasn't looking at the table from the same perspective as last year. Last year I was looking at living beings as the important focus and now I am looking at the molecules as being the important focus. When I finally got my thoughts worked out, I could see things from a different perspective. I found out that I had no trouble thinking about two balanced forces instead of just gravity working on the book. It took me a whole YEAR to figure this concept out!!! Now I know it was worth THE YEAR to figure it out because now I can see balanced forces everywhere!
Balanced forces are needed to produce constant velocity. The book on the table has a velocity of zero; that means it has a steady pace of zero. Why, Sr. Hennessey asked, did my ideas change? I think my ideas changed because I have expanded my mind to more complicated ideas! Like molecules in a table can have an effect on a book, that balanced forces and unbalanced forces are a better way of explaining the cause of motion, and that constant velocity and changing velocity are important things to look at when describing motion.

Topics: Health Reform, Insurance, Marketplace, States
By Phil Galewitz
KHN Staff Writer
Aug 04, 2013
Updated on Oct. 1
One of the biggest questions about Obamacare is whether its new consumer protections might lead to higher costs for some people buying coverage on their own -- or through small groups -- when they purchase it via the online insurance marketplaces that open for enrollment Oct. 1.
A growing number of states have released approved 2014 premiums and other details about individual and small group insurance plans that will available on the marketplaces, also called exchanges. Those rates do not take into account the federal tax credits that many people will be eligible for. In addition, the federal government must give final approval to the plans in September.
Learn More: Five Things To Know About Obamacare Premiums
Some states such as Arkansas, Illinois and New Hampshire have approved their rates but have not released any information about premiums and say they don't plan to do so until Oct. 1.
States that are running their own exchanges, such as California, provide details about the benefits in each state-approved plan in each region of the state.
States who have declined to run their own and who will have federally-run exchanges, still must have the premiums approved by the Obama administration.
The following are links to publicly released data from states that have made their information available. KHN will add links to other states as they are published.
