The 5 Dumbest Things on Wall Street This Week: Sept. 14
1. Moody's Bad Date
Look Moody's (MCO), we know that our politicians can't get it together, but did you have to remind us on the one day the country actually tries to come together?
The ratings agency announced Tuesday - September 11th mind you - that it may downgrade the U.S. government's debt rating by 2014, citing the nation's debt to gross domestic product
If, however, negotiations in Congress lead to a debt-to-GDP stabilization over the medium term, Moody's says "the rating will likely be affirmed and the outlook returned to stable."Of course, considering the cast of do-nothing knuckleheads now occupying Washington that's one big freaking "If." Certainly last summer's disastrous debt ceiling debate offers us little confidence that anything will be different this time, and the upcoming fiscal cliff coupled with Presidential election only steepens our concern. Then again, while the Dow fell more than 600 points on the first day after Moody's rival Standard & Poor's went ahead and stripped America of its pristine AAA rating, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds has actually fallen as much as 100 basis points, or one full percentage point, over the past year. So if that's the case, who gives a flying you-know-what about what Moody's et al have to say about our country's credit? Weren't they the same blind mice who gave AAA ratings to thousands of toxic mortgage bonds and then went running when the resulting contamination decimated the global economy? Well, unfortunately we have to give a flying you-know-what, and, even more unfortunately, yes they were. You see, like our currently incapacitated Congress, these ratings agencies are the only ones we've got, lousy track records notwithstanding. That means banks and pension funds around the world still take their cues about what they can and cannot hold from the likes of Moody's. And just because rates sank last year after their initial warnings doesn't mean they were wrong about the deteriorating state of U.S. credit and the long-term threat of higher yields (and lower bond prices). Lots of other forces affect the price of Treasuries including massive Fed-buying and even more massive worries about the future of Europe. Put simply, Moody's could just be early with its September 11th call. In fact, they probably are ahead of the curve, yield and otherwise. But why couldn't they have been a single day earlier? -- Written by Gregg Greenberg in New York.

Government brownfield plans 'progressing well'
Housing and planning minister Yvette Cooper has revealed that the government is making good progress with its plans to locate disused public sector land as part of its plan to build more affordable housing.
Earlier this year Gordon Brown unveiled plans to build 240,000 homes per year in order to meet a target of three million new homes by 2020, based predominately on the re-use of brownfield land.
Ms Cooper has said that 200 further sites have now been identified, with 750 brownfield sites now under assessment as to their suitability for development.
The government's plans to increase housing growth will be overseen by the new Homes and Communities Agency, Ms Cooper added.
"Families across the country need more affordable homes. We want to give more support to communities and councils who are doing their bit to deliver the extra homes we need," she asserted.
The government has a long term goal of building 60 per cent of new homes on brownfield land.

Giulio Cesare Procaccini
Italian, about 1604 - 1607
Oil on panel
38 1/4 x 28 1/4 in.
Borne aloft by two angels, the Virgin is crowned Queen of Heaven by Christ and God the Father. Below, Joseph on the left and Saint Francis on the right, identified by the stigmata on his open right hand, kneel and pose dramatically. Giulio Cesare Procaccini's figures are symmetrically positioned, giving balance to the composition, although the compressed bodies appear almost too large for the space they occupy.
Swirling, shimmering draperies of brilliant pinks, yellows, blues, and violets enliven the composition and accentuate the otherworldliness of the subject matter. In comparison to the individualized faces of the saints below, the gestures and faces of the holy figures above are idealized.
Procaccini bridged two stylistic periods in this painting. His virtuoso handling of paint and heightened emotionalism display Baroque tendencies, while his large, graceful figures and brilliant palette are holdovers from the Mannerist period.

Mel Gibson's film The Passion of The Christ has provoked a unusual amount of religious discussion of late, thereby revealing an abysmal lack of basic religious knowledge among the populace. To repair this appalling ignorance, we had best start with the most basic precepts. Of course, it won't do us much good to rely on antiquated statements; therefore, in the interest of providing a practical guide to spiritual and moral uplift suited to modern conditions, I offer here
The Ten Commandments
(updated and annotated for use in the welfare-warfare state)
I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me unless the federal government orders you to do so. In a conflict between what your God-given conscience tells you to do and what a pack of politicians in Washington tells you to do, always give priority to the latter.
You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain without an FCC license to do so. In the event of a serious violation, some well-placed campaign contributions ordinarily will serve as an adequate atonement.
Keep holy the Sabbath day, especially if you live in south Louisiana and the New Orleans Saints are playing an away game. Even more sacred than the Sabbath are Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, International Women's Day, and Super Bowl Sunday. Keep them holy, too.
Honor your father and your mother if you happen to find both under the same roof (fat chance, if you have been born since the beginning of the War on Poverty).
You shall not kill unless the president sends you to a designated trouble spot, some remote place populated by swarthy and ungrateful natives upon whom you may wreak death and destruction till the cows come home. (This is a corollary of Commandment number 1 above.)
You shall not commit adultery, but if you do, you shall look earnestly into the camera, wag your finger angrily, and repeat the following denial: "I did not have sex with that woman (man, cocker spaniel, . . .), Miss (Mr., man's best friend, . . .) Lewinsky (Olson, Spot, . . .)."
You shall not steal unless you use the government as your intermediary, in which case it's not stealing, it's social justice.
You shall not bear false witness unless you are running for public office or working as a government official's "dirty tricks" guy.
You shall not covet your neighbor's wife unless you play a part in a soap opera, live in the suburbs, have sex in the city, or get bored with your present wife.
You shall not covet your neighbor's goods, but it's okay to vote for politicians who promise to plunder your neighbor and hand over the loot to you. Afterward, you may take pride in having supported a kinder, gentler policy and in having observed all the Commandments that current laws and regulations require you to observe.

There are many college graduates with no jobs and are still subjected to living with their parents because of huge debts and ridiculous home and apartment prices. Needless to say, the economic boom here does not trickle down to the everyday person and the struggle here is just as real if not worse in these huge inner cities. Despite the realities of living in Beijing, for us international students finals are coming fast and studying at the Global Village cafe have become daily routine. Once finals are over we can finally reach the Temple of Heaven, a site that I have been longing for and a site certainly to see.
Last week we took a bus to the Great Wall of China and this time the weather was gorgeous. We could all see for miles out and the mountains were immense. We had limited to time to explore, but we all still took the challenge of climbing to the wall as opposed to taking the car line up. The heat was relentless as we all hiked up the steep steps toward the wall, even though the challenge was not as difficult as the hike up Mt. Tai it was a hike indeed and it wasn't raining so we pulled through. As soon as we reached the top you could see an endless stream of walled stone, it seemed as though there was no beginning or end. We walked toward a high point of the wall to catch a glimpse of the beautiful view. Harry, Chris and I did our traditional side show as we pulled in yet another crowd. Seeing the wall gave me a new feeling of humanity, looking outward at those mountains let me know that my hard work in the states has allowed me to be here and we all deserved it.
The first week back feels pretty good; over stuffing myself with the foods I didn't have much access to felt fulfilling. Even though my time in Beijing was enriching, returning home felt that much sweeter. Seeing my family was rewarding in the sense that Beijing has a way to drawl you in and it's a struggle leaving. Our last night was an exciting night as we all tried to stay up and wait for the flight to sleep. As sleep deprived as we were, we made the shuttle bus to the airport on time. The flight back was grueling, I had to sit by the walk way and sleeping was not really the most comfortable thing to do. Luckily there were some cool movies to keep me awake, after the third movie I believe I fell out. The food on the flight wasn't too bad; the sandwich was the best I've ever had on a flight.
Leaving in the morning in Beijing and returning to the states in the morning is a funny feeling. I felt myself slipping in this sleepy stupor for days afterwards. The brain is active at a time when the norm on the other side of world is just getting up to start their day. It took awhile to get use to it; I think I'm back to normal for the most part. I ate a huge bowl of cereal the first time I set foot in my house and it was the best bowl of cereal I had in ages. I would love to return to Beijing, China one day; the next time I go I'll have the upper hand in knowing where the good places to eat are located. I also have a better understanding of the language; with the day to day interactions I've been able to comprehend sentences a lot faster than before. I can't thank Dr. Luo enough for presenting this opportunity to me, I will always be grateful.
Thank you.
— Devon Walton Jr., political science major

It's raining smartphones these days, and Samsung has made it sure theirs doesn't break when the rain hits the ground. Today Samsung announced a new flavor of their flagship Galaxy S4 — Active — that is, in their own words, "the perfect companion for exploration, activity and adventure". In short, Galaxy S4 Active is the rugged version of the soft and delicate S4.
JK Shin, CEO and President of IT and Mobile Communications Division at Samsung said:
The Galaxy S4 Active is the newest addition to the GALAXY series and is purposefully designed for active users who love the outdoors. Samsung has taken innovative features of the GALAXY S4 and added breakthrough protective design elements to create a design that thrives in an active environment and is built for a lifestyle of travel and exploration.
In terms of hardware, Active is very similar to the plain S4 with the exception of camera, whose megapixels are down from 13 to 8. Highlights:
- 1.9 GHZ Quad-Core processor
- 2,600mAh battery
- TFT LCD screen (443 PPI)
- 8-megapixel rear camera
- Apps: S Travel (Trip Advisor), S Translator, S Health
An interesting addition is the Glove Touch, which makes sure users can continue to touch and use their devices without ever taking off their gloves in weathers with temperature in the south of minus five degrees (personally, it's a tempting feature for people like me who have to bear the cold extremes of north India).
And then there is the Aqua Mode, that enables users to take snaps with clarity underwater. Wait! Did I say underwater? S4 Active is designed to work underwater such that it's able to bear its pressure for upto 30-odd minutes for upto 1 meter under.
There's no mention of pricing yet. Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is slated for a UK launch some time this summer.

Comparative evaluation of hand wrist radiographs with cervical vertebrae for skeletal maturation in 10-12 years old children
M Kamal, Ragini, S Goyal
Department of Orthodontics, D. A. V. Dental College, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana, India
Correspondence Address:M KamalTulsi Lok and Sons, Outer Quilla Road, Shant Mai Chowk, Rohtak - 124 001, Haryana India93DOI: 10.4103/0970-4388.27901PMID: 17065779
A comparative evaluation of hand wrist and cervical vertebrae was done to know the validity of cervical vertebrae as maturity indicators. A sample of 50 subjects (25 females and 25 males) in the age group of 10-12 years were selected on criteria of normal occlusion and the result showed that cervical vertebrae can be used with the same confidence as hand wrist radiographs to evaluate skeletal maturity, thus avoiding the need for an additional radiograph.

ASIA/SRI LANKA - Radical Buddhists attack the churches: Christians call for religious freedom
Colombo (Agenzia Fides) – Bewilderment in the Christian communities in Sri Lanka after the recent incidents of violence perpetrated by monks and lay radical Buddhists: as reported to Fides, Christians renew the government's appeal to the defense of religious freedom. The community is shocked after the attack on a Protestant church, on December 9, in Weeraketiya, in the district of Hambantota, the southern province of Sri Lanka. A crowd of about a thousand people in the grip of a religious frenzy, among whom many Buddhist monks, stormed in the building and wounded pastor Pradeeep. The crowd destroyed the church, destroying sacred furnishings, objects, parked cars. The attackers broke a police cordon. In fact, the day before the accident, a group of Buddhists and monks had visited the Pastor, warning him that without the permission of the Buddhist clergy, he could not carry out Christian worship in Weeraketiya, otherwise the church will be destroyed. After the Pastor's rejection, who invoked the constitutional rights, came the attack.
In 2012, the Christian communities in Sri Lanka, of different denominations, reported about 50 cases of attacks by Buddhists. Last September, the Catholic Bishop of Mannar, Mgr. Rayyappu Joseph - who had asked for a international investigation on the abuses committed by the government in the civil war against the Tamil rebels - was slightly injured in the attack against a Catholic church and Karusal, in the district of Mannar. In August 2012 some Buddhist monks occupied the premises of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the city of Deniyaya (always in the south of the island), transforming it into a Buddhist temple.
Over 70% of the 20.4 million people in Sri Lanka are Buddhists, and belong mostly to the dominant ethnic group, the Sinhalese. Christians are estimated at 8.4 percent of the population, and 40% of them belong to ethnic minority Tamils.
Among the violent Buddhist groups there is the "Buddhist Power Force" ("Bodu Bala Sena") that recently asked its followers to "defend the country by Muslims and Christians." The movement is the most powerful political party of Buddhist monks, the "Jathika Hela Urumaya" ("National Front of Liberation"), a partner of the coalition government. The party has already shown in the past to be very violent. A party militant assassinated Prime Minister S. Bandaranaike in 1958. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 15/12/2012)

Kingston Questions HHS Secretary in Obamacare Fundraising Scheme
Reports indicate Secy. Sebelius may have violated federal regulations in seeking funds from entities she regulates
Three members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee which oversees her agency's funding are questioning Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius over recent reports she is soliciting funds from the health care companies she regulates to help launch Obamacare.
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Chairman Jack Kingston (R-GA) was joined by Subcommittee Vice Chairman Rodney Alexander (R-LA), and Rep. Andy Harris, M.D. (R-MD) in demanding Sebelius turn over information about her involvement in a fundraising scheme she has reportedly led over the last three months.
"This is clearly an abuse of power," said Kingston. "The top official of a government agency has no business soliciting funding from the entities she regulates for any purpose whatsoever. Secretary Sebelius owes us answers as to what exactly she has been doing and why it does not violate the law. As our subcommittee continues its work, we will ensure these questions are answered."
In the letter, the members specifically request a list of individuals solicited by Sebelius, any HHS employees involved in the solicitation of donations, a justification for why the actions did not violate federal regulations, and information on any interactions of the companies of individuals she solicited and the Department.
The text of the letter reads:
We write with great concern over the reports of impropriety concerning solicitations of donations for a nonprofit that is assisting in the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). Recent media reports have indicated that you, on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services, have solicited donations over the last three months from health industry executives to assist in the implementation of PPACA. Subsequent statements made by HHS staff have offered conflicting information regarding who was solicited.
As described by the Department of Justice, federal regulations only permit solicitations by federal department officials "if you do not solicit funds from a subordinate or from someone who has or seeks business with the Department, and you do not use your official title." In addition, it appears that a great conflict exists in soliciting funds for this purpose. Your actions, as described in recent reports, appear to violate these regulations.
To clarify the actions that were taken by you and ensure that no wrongdoing occurred, we request the following information:
• A list of all of the individuals from whom you have solicited donations;
We look forward to your timely response.

And now it's in print
I caught up with all round good guy Ned Dwyer yesterday. We chatted about many things, of which the top of the list was the recent launch of "And now it's in print." A project Ned is heavily involved with. Let me just say this. It's one of my favourite startups this year. The world over. For many reasons, but here's one:
I asked Ned what the business model was, and this was his reply:
"It's too important to have a business model. We decided instead to just make something awesome and see what happens"
That's it my friends, the startup ethic we all need to aspire to. Doing it because it matters.
A couple of other smart ideas entrepreneurs can take note of.
- They limited their production run to 500 copies (invent demand through limiting supply)
- All the articles and visuals are from content they found on line (blending off line & on line worlds)
- The idea was borrowed from South by Southwest (share ideas, re-interpret)
- They proved print can still be awesome. (Print isn't dead, print industry management is brain dead)
- They set themselves an impossible launch deadline, and made it. (Don't think too much, get it out there)
Kudos from me.
Some fun pics from the launch here. More info here: andnowitsinprint.com

Thanks a lot for the shout out Steve, much appreciated and humbled to be put up on the Startup Blog.
The great thing for me with And Now It's In Print was the emphasis on making something right over making something with a business model. We bounced around a few different ideas right at the start about how to monetize it but realised that content (and design) was king – if we could get those parts right we would work out the money later.
In pre-orders we ended up selling out 10% of the run proving that there is interest in paying for the content even though we distributed it at the launch party for free.
Keep an eye on AndNowItsInPrint.com or follow me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/nedwin to find out about our next awesome project.

Eric NeumannMomentum's Seattle editor Erik Neumann.
By Erik Neumann
Photography: Katrina Herzog
Anyone who rides a bike can recall an array of experiences while in the saddle. Personal stand-outs for me include flying down steep hills on the Oregon coast on a warm June day with lush forests to my left and breaking ocean waves to my right. Another memorable one was my first ride home from Gregg's after buying clip-in shoes, stopping at an intersection before I'd learned how to "unclip" and a slow descent to the pavement below. Though I've personally had countless great experiences since becoming a regular rider, I know Seattle's diverse culture of racers, randonneurs, polo players, commuters and bicycle freaks and geeks guarantees a wealth of stories waiting to be told. For that reason alone, I'm excited to step in as editor of momentum's new Seattle Section.
In this issue, we're exploring the theme: Trailblazers: Bicycle Advocates 1970-2010. There's no single way of defining who an advocate is and what they do. Some of Seattle's best bicycle champions are mechanics and shop owners. The Cascade Bike Club and the Bicycle Alliance of Washington lobby in Olympia for bicycle infrastructure and traffic laws. Similarly, individual community members have started grassroots projects, such as the Seattle Colonnades, an elaborate mountain bike course built under the Interstate 5 corridor in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood.
In this issue, you'll meet Kent Peterson, a local advocate who has worked in many of these capacities. Josef Bellucci brings you a story about electric assist hubs and their application on cargo bikes, and Anne Mathews writes about Columbia City's Bike Works and how members of a local housing cooperative are making bicycle transportation practical for daily life. Plus, Katrina Herzog, Anne Mathews and Galen Maynard bring you a delectable array of images.
To me, the bicycle marks a special intersection between education, fitness, transportation and good times. I look forward to hearing from you and bringing you stories about why we ride.

OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría travelled to Washington, DC, this month to join World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim in co-launching a publication on experimentation in policy design and implementation: Making Innovation Policy Work: Learning from Experimentation.
A new survey funded by the Kauffman Foundation suggests that most economies are recovering from the sharp drops in new firm registration triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis. The improvement may very well likely been bolstered by government reforms, according to the analysis of new World Bank data.
I report this week from Africa which is enjoying its greatest economic success in decades and where there has never been a better time to be an entrepreneur. With economic growth rates this year around 6 percent in one-third of the 49 sub-Saharan African countries, the IMF forecasts that Africa will have the fastest-growing economy of any continent over the next five years. The World Bank in turn has reported earlier this month that more than 20 sub-Saharan African countries, encompassing more than 400 million people, have gained middle-income status, while the number of people living in poverty is down by roughly 10 percentage points over the past decade.
Despite more research and data from the World Bank and OECD, while plenty of attention has been given to "SMEs" in the past, multinational government gatherings have largely ignored the importance of stimulating new high-impact startups as a prime global economic growth strategy. This needs to change.
Late September is always a busy
time in New York and Washington for world leaders. New York is crowded with
heads of state and visionaries at the UN Assembly or the Clinton Global
Initiative, and in Washington, DC, the World Bank Group and IMF
Annual Meetings that took place this past weekend always spur an assortment
of organizations with global economic development missions to gather their
flocks. We all wonder what all these expensive 'meetings of the minds' are
accomplishing. To share my own bias, it prompts me once a year to check in and
see how much development bureaucrats are really seeing and listening to the
entrepreneurs on the ground doing the work.
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

wake up
"it was as though this plan had been with him all his life, pondered though the seasons, now in his fifteenth year crystallized with the pain of puberty" we went to the fair. it was a frightening experience, about halfway through i was completely distant. something about me. something about the fair and the feeling i got. i feel as though i was just put here, and at the same time i feel like ive been living forever. the lights, everything. high as a kite. i was so happy but its different now and i dont know what it is. somehow i feel distached from everything i once knew, but when i think about it more i realize how much i dont know. something made me feel as if everything is watching wanting. i felt very alone but it was alright, it was a strange feeling, realizing that i feel the same way the world feels to me- indifferent. and tonight it just felt like i was completely by myself in what seemed to be a sea of the human race and i did not fit. all the time it just feels like everyone ive ever been attracted to is drawn to her instead of me. even if im not attracted to someone. theyre flirting. i dont know why this still bothers me since its been happening to me for 4 years. and yet i understand that i am not anything anyone wants and even though i feel like i am treated like an abnormal human with no sex, i do not feel offended anymore.i dont know why i still expect everything to be fair, why would i think that the world is a kind place. why would i think that i dont deserve something when i probably do. i feel as though i should be depressed but i just feel tired and completely indifferent. its alright. "sometimes im afraid that you'll tell me that this is not a work of fiction."

It's a popular time to visit the Louis Armstrong House and Museum in Corona as jazz lovers from across the country and around the world make their musical pilgrimage to see "Pop's house," and there are even more plans in the works. NY1's Stephanie Simon filed the following report.
The Louis Armstrong House and Museum looks, and sounds, very much like it did when the jazz great and his wife Lucille lived here.
"You can see that this is one of the most famous rooms in the house. We get guests from all over who come to see this kitchen. We can see some of the more opulent things in this house like the chandeliers. Louis made upwards of 750 private reels. We have some of Louis singing, some of him playing, him telling jokes. It's all on tape," says Programs Coordinator Ben Flood. But big changes are coming.
"Later this year, we plan to break ground on our new education center across the street. It's almost 15,000 square feet. It's a fabulous project. It will allow us to bring in, expand our exhibit space, bring in more school children," says Jennifer Walden Weprin of the museum.
It will also include a new jazz club.
"And we can use that as rehearsal space for jazz musicians around New York City," says Walden Weprin.
It means the entire Louis Armstrong Archives will be moved here from Queens College.
While Armstrong was a superstar who chose a home over a mansion, he still understood the importance of his legacy.
"You could tell because he recorded himself speaking at home, talking to himself out loud. He recorded himself visiting with friends and band members right here in the house, and that we all have here as part of the tour. So really, he anticipated his importance in some way. I think he was a very humble man and he lived a very humble life, but he was a big person. He had a big heart, and he had a very large career," Walden Weprin says.
For music lovers, the highlight of the tour will definitely be here, in Louie's den.
"Indeed, this is where Louis spent most of his time. He would practice his trumpet here, he would have friends over, and he would record them," says Ben Flood.
You can hear bits of all of it on your tour.
There is also a full schedule of summer concerts.
Hoping to make it even more wonderful, the educational center is expected to open in 2017.

Cross Country: Sandburg boys, Marist girls claim regional titles
By Tim Tierney For Sun-Times Media October 26, 2013 8:02PM
Sandburg's Will Becker finishes first Saturday ahead of Shepard's Josh Maier in the Class 3A Marist Regional. | Tim Tierney/For Sun-Times Media

The nagging knee injury that sidelined Will Becker for most of the season didn't stop the Sandburg senior Saturday at the Class 3A Marist Regional.
Becker covered the Midlothian Meadows course in 15 minutes, 16.19 seconds to win the individual title and lead a dominant Sandburg group to the team championship in the nine-school field.
"My team stuck with me the whole time I was out, told me I'd get back, told me how good I still am,'' Becker said.
"I haven't had the confidence to go out with everyone. That was my goal here, to feed off my team, work with them and get up with the top of the pack.''
"I saw him finally break through in his mentality more than anything,'' Sandburg coach John O'Malley said. "This was an opportunity to find that confidence during the race.''
Sandburg's depth was obvious with all seven individuals finishing among the top 13, even without running most of the lineup that won the SouthWest Suburban Blue title a week ago.
Sandburg's top five were Becker, Dan Laskero (3rd, 15:26.62), Martin Skucas (5th, 15:41.77), Justin Adams (6th, 15:43.05) and Matt Benz-Weeden (7th, 15:45.37).
"Our team is incredible,'' Becker said. "We push each other so much. We don't worry about individuals.''
Becker, the top returnee from Sandburg's 2012 state meet team, had enough to hold off a strong runner-up finish by Shepard's Josh Maier (15:18.26).
"It was good competition,'' Maier said. "It gives me a little preview of next week's sectional.''
Sandburg (22), Shepard (70), Oak Lawn (78), Brother Rice (124), Marist (175) and Stagg (176) advance to the Hinsdale Central Sectional.
In the girls race, Marist captured its fourth straight regional championship in a close finish with Sandburg in the nine-school field.
Marist was led by freshman Maryclare Leonard (17:47.16) and senior Julie Yaeger (18:13.92), who grabbed the top two spots ahead of three Sandburg runners.
"I just tried to keep my pace and keep focused and think about it for the team,'' Leonard said.
"At conference I didn't do as well as I wanted,'' Yaeger said. "So I just kept telling myself I could do it.''
Marist's top five were Leonard, Yaeger, Annmarie Leonard (6th, 18:43.44), Catherine Viz (10th, 19:01.4) and Andrea Burnham (12th, 19:08).
"It's a good group of seniors that have come through,'' Marist coach Pat Quinn said. "Maryclare (Leonard) has been kind of hanging around the program for years.''
Marist (31), Sandburg (33), Mother McAuley (71), Shepard (109), Reavis (147) and Stagg (176) move on to the Hinsdale Central Sectional.
Sandburg had four runners in the top 10 — Casey Jensen (3rd, 18:27.42), Grace Foley (4th, 18:31.12), Meghan Mokate (5th, 18:38.79) and Annie Lebert (8th, 18:58.09).

1904 to 1920's - MAHEMAKAJA was the name given to the family summer cabin at Shawnigan Lake, which was derived from the first two initials of the Clay children's names Margaret, Helen, Mary, Kay and Jack.
How it all began...Leslie Clay was born at Bedeque, P.E.I, November 12, 1863 died 02 Feb 1928 he married Florence Nightingale Leitch on July 2nd 1890 in P.E.I. born 29 Sep 1863 died 17 Jun 1945. Following graduation from from McGill in 1887 winning the Prince of Wales gold medal in Mental and Moral Philosophy. His first charge was at Morris Manitoba and later at St Andrew's Church in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. In 1894, he was called to St Andrew's Victoria and remained there for nearly thirty-four years. In 1913, his alma mater awarded him an honorary Doctorate and in 1927 he was elected Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.
The Reverend W Leslie Clay, BA MA DD and Mrs Clay had two sons and four daughters. Dr and Mrs Clay purchased the Shawnigan Lake property in 1904. The reason behind the purchase was because their eldest Daughter Margaret Clay was suffering from TB and the doctors suggested the mountain air would be good for her health. In 1904 there was only a gravel road where the Malahat Island highway is today and Mt Baldy beside the lake was the closest and highest mountain around. It must have really worked because Margaret lived for 91 years!
Clay Children:
1924 to 1940's - Helen and Billy Ellis were the only couple in the family to have children, one son and one daughter. Richard (Dick) Carlyle Ellis - Born August 16, 1925 died June 1974 and Barbara Joan Ellis - Born November 7, 1927 died February 14, 2010. The family lived in Vancouver and moved to Victoria in the early 50's. Dick Ellis (Inducted into the BC Rugby Hall of Fame in 2006) followed in his fathers footsteps with his life long passion for rugby which filled his every spare moment for his entire life. He was a very active member of the Oak Bay Wanderers and at the time of his death in 1974 (from a scuba diving accident) he was the President of the Canadian Rugby Union. Richard "Dick" Ellis was called to the bar in 1950 and joined Clay & Macfarlane and became partner at Clay, Macfarlane, Ellis and Popham known today as Clay & Company. Joan Avery also followed in another of her fathers loves, golf and did very well as an amateur golfer for many years. The property was passed on to the Clay Children upon their mothers death in 1945.
TODAY As you can see in the photos below Shirley Ellis at 93 still plays an integral part in painting and keeping the burn pile flames going during our fall and spring work parties and cleanups. Shirley swims 3 to 4 days a week, plays bridge and loved a good game of tennis up until a few years ago. Who says you can't drink the water at Shawnigan lake!!!

text: Makeup Breakdown – Body of Work. Katelyn Simkins February 3, 2011 Beauty 6 Comments As I tuned into one of my new favorite television shows, FACE OFF (a special FX makeup competition on the SyFy channel) I watched in awe as they labored through their challenge this week – body paint. It's a trend that has been quite popular over the last decade. And not always in a good way. A practice that dates back to ancient Egypt now immediately stirs images of Playboy playmates wandering around the mansion grounds in faux football jerseys – it's the NEW naked! But all cheesiness aside, the ART of body painting is just that – ART. It takes incredible skill to pull off a successful full-body piece. Far more than just a Kim Kardashian excuse to show off some knockers and a ballooning dairyere (See her November spread in W magazine http://www.style.com/beauty/beautycounter/2010/10/silver-fox/). In this shoot by Isabeli Fontana for Vogue Paris in November 2009, they made spectacular use of strategic body painting to bring to life an almost Aboriginal feel. Check out a list below of products great for specifically painting on the skin canvas: Kryolan Liquid Body Paint – Great for large areas of skin that need to be covered. Water and rub resistant. Mehron Starblend – Perspiration resistant, non-streaking, and will last all day without fading. Available in a wide variety of colors. Mehron Barrier Spray – This is a makeup sealer that will help protect your masterpiece from sweat and rubbing off. Temptu Dura Airbrush Liquids – Great longlasting airbrush pigments that won't leave a sticky finish like SOME brands I won't mention *cough*MAC*cough*… A bit of information on why NOT to use traditional artist paints on the body: "No artist paint … should be used for body painting. Body painting is a cosmetic application and it is necessary to use properly labeled and formulated cosmetic paints. They will say "body paint" on the label and list their ingredients. Cosmetic manufacturers operate under entirely different requirements in terms of testing, sanitation and safety. In the United States, these products are regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and Artist Paints are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. " As you can imagine, the testing regimens and concerns are very different for something that is meant to be used directly on one's skin, especially with special concerns such as pregnancy, skin sensitivity, allergic reactions etc. 6 Responses Helen February 7, 2011 When will 303 Magazine do a photo shoot incorporating body paint? Love the Vogue pics! Reply Katelyn Simkins February 7, 2011 Hi Helen! Check out this month's issue of 303 Magazine – we have a couple beautiful pieces of body art. The shoot "Coquette" has custom designed faux tattoos done by Sandi Callistro, and the shoot "Red Light District" has a full back Dragon done with body paint. Reply Denise An February 8, 2011 I've heard just plain acrylic sprayed on the skin through an airbrush is pretty brutal on the body..It's worth it to spend a little extra money to buy quality body paints that are meant for the skin! Reply Katelyn Simkins February 8, 2011 Absolutely Denise! I agree. The same goes for glitter – people try to use your average craft store supplies, but they are not meant to be applied on the body – and can be harsh and even dangerous. Always a good idea to get the right products! Reply Connie February 8, 2011 Would be nice to spotlight local bodypainters. We have some very talented folks here in Denver! Reply Charlie February 8, 2011 Love the entry katelyn ! And I loved that shoot in Paris vogue too – so fab! We DID use body painting in the Februsry issue in the second page of "red light district" – the dragon "tattoo" was body paint Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Denver voters resoundingly rejected a proposal for the city to set up a means for residents to report UFO sightings and alien encounters. The proposal was overwhelmingly defeated, 102,776 to 20,162. The proposal's advocate, Jeff Peckman, claims that opponents outrageously exaggerated the cost of the plan, and says that the government is already tracking UFO sightings, but is keeping the information secret. The proposals would have established a commission to track extraterrestrials and would have allowed Denver residents post their observations and sightings on Denver's city website.

Unfortunate. But the fact that this program even made it to vote means headway is being made.
Agree with Dax Alfred. My thought is that it is a huge direction change, just getting the proposal on the ballot.
It is unfortunate that it failed, true, but as Dax and Sandy have noted, the fact that it made the ballot is indeed proof that awareness is growing.
Hope to see it on the ballot next go-around.

By the time 20th Century Fox's production of Cleopatra brought Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton together, the jinxed epic had thrown a major studio into epic chaos. A thoroughly un-Egyptian fog and Taylor's near-fatal pneumonia helped abort work in London, where 12 months of shooting had yielded only 12 minutes of usable footage. When production started anew in Rome, Joseph L. Mankiewicz (All About Eve) took over from Rouben Mamoulian as director, and Richard Burton replaced Stephen Boyd as Cleopatra's doomed lover, Marc Antony.
At first Burton dismissed Taylor as ''Miss Tits,'' but by the time they played their first scene, on January 22, 1962, he had reconsidered. After watching them at work that day, Mankiewicz called producer Walter Wanger. ''I want you to know that I have been sitting all alone on a very large volcano,'' he said.
The Liz and Dick volcano soon erupted publicly, and outrage over the romance was swift: Burton was married to Sybil Williams, and Liz had already earned her home-wrecker badge by stealing husband Eddie Fisher away from Debbie Reynolds four years earlier. The Vatican accused Taylor of ''erotic vagrancy,'' and a U.S. congressman called for the revocation of Burton's visa. Mankiewicz joined the media circus when the papers said that he was dating Taylor and using Burton as a decoy. Mankiewicz and Burton called a press conference. ''I said, 'It is time for the real story to be told,''' Mankiewicz recalls. '''I am in love with Richard Burton and he is in love with me and we are using Elizabeth Taylor, with her consent, as our cover-up.''' With that, he kissed Burton full on the mouth.
Cleopatra cost nearly $40 million ($174 million in today's dollars), and it is probably the most expensive movie in history. The critics hated it at the time, and even Liz called it ''the most bizarre piece of entertainment ever to be perpetrated.'' Still, the movie broke even in four years, and the Liz and Dick show had a longer run. They made 11 movies together, wed and divorced twice, and racked up 12 marriages between them. Over the years they perpetrated an even more bizarre, and in many ways more popular, piece of entertainment just by being themselves.
Jan. 22, 1962
Another epic, Lawrence of Arabia, is sprawled across screens, while Chubby Checker scuffs up dance floors with ''The Twist.'' Some stay home to watch the No. 1 TV series, Wagon Train, or read such best-sellers as J.D. Salinger's Franny & Zooey, Irving Stone's The Agony & the Ecstasy, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

C B Potts have changed policy. They no longer serve domestics on tap. Took them long enough to realize that domestics are designed to be bottled or canned so why waste taps when Brewer Denis is going to compete with Brewer Steve from CB Potts at 120 th - (about three miles away) and we will be able to sample and declare a winner. Two great brewers who make better and better beers - we need a category above Awesome - "SPLENDID or SPECTACULAR"?
I took a group in yesterday and they loved a soured Belgium style. It took Denis nine moths to make and Belgium style enthusiast had better get in there but quick. Not my favorite but hey, that's the beauty of micro breweries and brewpubs. One person tries out an idea - not a committee. Shame that the Java Porter has run out. Who would have thought I would love a coffee breakfast beer? What do I have to do to make it a standard offering? I had to make do with the Big Red -that lovely beautiful satisfying beer - it's an IPA - take no notice of that Red in the name. Make do? I wish my whole life was making do and having to make do with that Big Red.
Now with more taps to devote to brewing, we will have even more unique offerings from this bloody marvelous chain of breweries. I must roll over to see what Steve is up to at CB Potts at 120th. He is always busy inventing new beers and the CB Potts brewery in Fort Collins has produced possibly the first Scottish Ale that I loved and Steve won't take that lying down. A SPLENDID brewpub.
I find that amazing as the beers just get better and the Fish and Chips are as good as any in the UK.
I forgot to mention the MUG CLUB. Join and you are invited to regularly to get together to taste new beers (I still always have my Big Red) in a real 20 oz pint. Applies at any CB Potts.
Reading my last review, it may appear that I'm part of the corporation. I'm not, and unfortunately I don't own shares or work for CB Potts, I just enjoy visiting them. Consistent quality and no deafening music bring me back, time and time again.
I just love the set up of good food and good beer.
KROC (Keg Ran Out Club) frequents this establishment and home brewers know where the quality is. Check out the KROC web site.
Hop heads, don't be put off by the name "Big Red." We all avoid any beer with the name Red but at CB Potts it's named after a person, not a stupid marketing descriptor. You'll enjoy a solid full bodied citreous over toned IPA (which is all I usually drink - other than the whit beer - and come to think of it the stout and whatever they have just produced). Ok already, I just avoid the domestic imitations. I live close enough to enjoy both Flat Irons and the Westminster Brewpub's. Which one is better? Dennis says "Steve makes really, really good beer" . Steve says Dennis makes "a really, really good Red ." Visit both and you be the judge. Dennis at Flatirons or Steve at Westminster? Let me know
The usual barmaid, The Babe, treats us all great.
Beer and The Babe; you can't beat that.

Hi. I'm Alan Wildes and I am a generosity coach. I work with Generis; a generosity firm based in Atlanta, GA.
This is my personal blog where I primarily focus on how to help leaders accelerate generosity in their churches. Over a decade of experience tells me that pastors and church leaders want to guide their people toward a lifestyle of generosity and I feel my calling is to help them accomplish that goal.
I write on leadership, communication, and strategy surrounding accelerating generosity in the church. I occasionally post on personal items that are close to my heart such as my wife and children and baseball along with a book review every now and then. I also enjoy having guest bloggers to provide my readers with another voice on generosity and issues surrounding generosity.
My goal is to empower leaders with the knowledge, tools and confidence to inspire the people they lead toward a lifestyle of generosity. I like nothing more than to take the experience and knowledge I have and share it with others in hopes of empowering them to lead in ways they have not done before.
I typically post once a week. To make sure you don't miss my newest posts, you can subscribe via RSS or email.

- End of year giving strategy
- The offering and the worship schedule
- Online Giving: How can it impact your Generosity Initiatives?
- Generous hospitality from my daughter
- Lessons learned from a 9 year old pitcher
- 10 ways my wife is generous
I answered the call into ministry in 2000 when I joined Generis. I left the professional baseball coaching world where I was coaching teenagers and took those skills to the church world where I began coaching pastors and leaders. It was tough at the beginning for me to see the connection but after a short time I began to see that God put me here to coach people. All of us have had a coach of some sort along the way and we all know that coaches can get us to do things that we couldn't do on our own. That is what I feel I am doing today with pastors and leaders of churches.
Generis has evolved over the years from a firm who primarily assisted churches with capital campaigns to a firm who is guiding churches toward accelerated generosity. I am so proud of the innovation we bring to churches. We are never settled with the status quo and that makes me want to continue to improve my skills so I can help coach churches and leaders toward the wins they feel God is calling them to.
I have been married to Pam for 21 years. We have a son Jackson and a daughter Anabelle. We live in the metro Atlanta area in Alpharetta, GA. We attend Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA. In my free time I enjoy running, coaching my children's sports teams, reading and my favorite of all; hanging out with my wife.
