10 Lessons from White House Press Secs Fleischer and Gibbs: Witnesses to History, Human Piñatas
Being White House press secretary is arguably one of the toughest jobs in Washington. While television cameras inside White House press briefings have offered the American public selected snapshots of the job, former press secretaries Robert Gibbs and Ari Fleischer (candidly!) filled in many other details at a recent 92Y event in New York.
Help Wanted Ad: Based on their comments and our takeaways, here's a brief job description:
"Highly experienced communications exec to serve as spokesperson in political capacity. Able to quickly distill and convey complex material to intensely curious, skeptical audiences. Physically fit since it's a grinding, grueling exercise. Involves sitting through many meetings, extensive note-taking and speaking from podium. Can withstand being woken up three times during the night. Shows fierce loyalty to boss, but is willing to break bad news. Thick skin so you don't take it personally, extremely diplomatic, and keen sense of humor. Skilled at assigning press seating charts."
Ten Lessons Learned, Often the Hard Way:
While Fleischer and Gibbs each met with their predecessors before starting, they still learned a lot on the job, especially from unscripted moments. Crises proved to be pivotal, including the anthrax attack ("We thought it was a wave 2 attack on the U.S.", said Fleischer) and the Gulf Coast oil spill ("The hardest 3 months of my professional life", said Gibbs.)
Below is a paraphrased list of ten things they learned, some of which may also apply to corporate spokesperson roles.

I did have to laugh at the samurai from Okinawa thing. I know a couple of hard-core Okinawan nationalists (they want the US AND the Japanese out of Okinawa), and even they wouldn't claim to have invented samurai. Hawaiian shirts and that turtle on the Hawaii license plate sure, but samurai would be too much.

Right Head Teacher has today asked me to investigate the possibilities of setting up a VLE from scratch in time for September. I've used moodle before and wondered if any other brummie schools had encountered any issues with Link2ICT or Moodle. So if any body can answer these questions I'd be very grateful :-)
1. How do the schools host there moodle some seem to be on the myvle.org server or hosted locally via the schools site, which is the better solution...?
2. How is the management of the moodle delegated in your schools...? Whose responsible for content uploading teachers or Network Managers
3. How supportive are Link2ICT with setting up Moodle and does any one have a contact as I've tried the service desk on 3 occasions and been told we'll get back to you.

'Understanding Psychopathy: What it is, what it's not, and how to work with it'.
|Dr Kirin Hilliar, BPsych (Hons) MPsych(Forensic), PhD ,MAPS
|Description: 'Psychopathy' is a concept that has accumulated a large number of myths and misconceptions about just what it is and what it means regarding responsivity to intervention. This presentation aims to give attendees a better idea of psychopathy, its common traits, its biological and psychosocial underpinnings, and how it is different from other mental disorders and personality disorders. Attendees will be given an opportunity to identify psychopathic traits in a film case study, and discuss tips on how to effectively work with clients (or colleagues!) who show psychopathic traits. Finally, it will be emphasised that psychopathy is a multifaceted concept, where each characteristic lies on a continuum and can in some circumstances be quite adaptive. Thus it is not important to try and determine whether someone is a 'psychopath' or not, but rather to understand their unique constellation of traits and clarify how best to work with them. Dr Kirin Hilliar, BPsych (Hons) MPsych(Forensic), PhD ,MAPS
|About the presenter(s)
|About the Presenter: Kirin completed a Bachelor of Psychology (First Class Honours and the University Medal for Psychology) at the University of NSW, followed by a combined PhD/Master of Psychology (Forensic) degree, again at UNSW. She has had experience working with offenders and forensic patients, and has completed a number of training courses on identifying and assessing psychopathic traits.

We believe the success of a project is defined early on. We listen and analyze your idea to help better define and hone it. This will become the vision statement, which guides the whole project.
Design is more than a set of graphic elements. It's the process of solving a problem. This requires planning, research and strategizing. We then create wire frames and visual mock-ups.
We then take the final mock-ups and turn them into partially functional prototypes that allow us to gain feedback as we progress through the coding process.
Once all functionality is implemented, we move into testing. We test, retest and test again to make sure everything functions and is up to our high standards.
As soon as everything is perfect, we can deploy the app! Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the champagne.

Restaurant at St. Paul's
St Paul's Churchyard
London, England, EC4M 8AD, United Kingdom
A surprisingly light space within the cavernous crypt of St. Paul's Cathedral, this highly acclaimed restaurant is easily one of the most quintessentially British places to enjoy lunch or traditional afternoon tea. Unlike the cathedral's bustling nearby cafe, the restaurant evokes a quiet elegance with calming cream and sage decor, soaring vaulted ceilings and heavy oak tables set with mismatched antique cutlery. The New British menu emphasizes fresh local ingredients and may include comforting squash and goat cheese ravioli, succulent pork belly with truffle black olive mash and a gingerbread ice cream sandwich sweetened with honey from Regents Park bees.
Insider Tip:
Wine enthusiasts should treat their taste buds to the ever-evolving "Britain in a Glass," a refreshing apértif of English sparkling wine and seasonal juices, such as Kentish apple and blackcurrant.

How to Tame a Rubber Duck
by Ben on June 17, 2009
in Essay, Instruction
Some people, such as Havi Brooks, are fortunate enough to have been tamed by a rubber duck. Some people might never consider the value of taming a rubber duck. Some of us try to tame our own rubber duck.
Why would we want to? The benefits are not immediately obvious, but like many things in life the real pleasure is in the doing, not the done. Taming, according to Antoine St. Exupery, is not much practiced these days. In his book The Little Prince, he says "One only understands the thing one tames. Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things ready-made at the shops, but there is no shop anywhere where one can buy friendship."
To tame something is to make a friend of heart. Taming operates both ways, resulting in a mutual amplification of joy. The tamed and the tamer eventually become indistinguishable. Try watching dog owners on the beach and see if you can tell if the dog or the owner is having more fun, if the dog or the owner is in charge.
Taming something gives you the chance to truly know that thing with your heart, to expand two souls with joy, to engage in magical ritual. But why tame a rubber duck?
Rubber ducks have an astonishing character, a view of the world that is both innocent and yet imbued with the wisdom of a stoic philosopher. Whatever happens to a rubber duck it endures, with a warm smile and a friendly sparklingly eye, yet a duck spends most of its time just waiting for the next bath. Such a worldview is invaluable, definitely worth sharing in our own lives.
How does one tame a rubber duck? Like any life enhancing process, it takes time, repetition, ritual. Naturally, we must be present with our duck, not interacting, just sitting quietly, glancing toward it, rather than gazing. Over time, we will know the duck, and the duck will know us. Baths will become more than just washing, they become a chance to commune with a friend. And when you feel loss as you leave the duck, when the duck smiles at you with the warm sadness of the Mona Lisa, you know that you have tamed the duck, and the duck has tamed you.

I had planned the party for quite a while – I'd been scouring Pinterest just a teeny bit too much, as usual. I seem to have a knack for over exaggerating my talents and thinking I can do it all, in a short amount of time. My sisters and I turned into baking obsessed maniacs the week before, or at least I did, and they put up with it. Isabella got to lick the spoon and wear her new apron.
I wanted spring colours, with bunnies, chicks and ducklings, combined with the more grown up idea of afternoon tea. Let's face it, this was really a party for me. She didn't know it was all for her. I'm hoping she'll look back on the photos and know how special she is to me, my little Isabelladorable.
My little sweetpea is one!
Fondant fancies made more babyish:
Bunny biscuits!
Easter chick wreath, a Pinterest special. It was pretty easy to make. Just take a polystyrene wreath, double sided tape and a million (ok 130) chicks and stick together.
I found this donkey and cart on Party Pieces and had to have it
Macaroons. Batch one were a disaster, batch two, thanks to my sister Rosie (annoyingly she takes the credit) looked GOOD! This recipe from BraveTart (ace name) was the one that worked.
Biiiig yellow balloons
With Daddy
Birthday cake cake pops. Another Pinterest inspired idea.
Easter egg tree :-)
Duckling and chick shape jam sandwiches. My frugal and eco friendly Mum popped the leftover bits of sandwich (after the shapes had been cut out with cookie cutters) in the freezer. An easy snack for Isabella when I'm in a hurry!
With some of her Auntie Rhiannon, Rosie and Laura and Uncle Dom
The kids each had a cake pop with a candle to blow out while Isabella (me) blew out hers
Her first birthday cake! Baked in a sweetcorn tin as my Grandma used to do for us. The ruffles are really easy to ice on with buttercream (there is a tutorial on YouTube)
Don't grab the flame!
There was more time to play with presents the next day
What a lucky, loved little girl my baby is!

This sounds weird.
Would you wear this print? Or is it too much?
Also in today's questionable celebrity pairings: A-Rod and Kate Hudson are sneaking around, and so are ... Miley Cyrus and P. Diddy?
Michelle Trachtenberg was attacked in real life by the pop singer. Here's how we wish she would respond, in our imaginary world.
The actor gets carded after biking up to a meatpacking district hot spot. That, and the rest of today's gossip.
We hear they have babies there. Cute, exotic, new babies.
Do you think Ryan Reynolds made her lose the weight? We don't. Because we love him.
Plus: 'Ghost: The Musical'!
Because the stories they're airing about her sister's weight are upsetting her.

any cnas ever catch anything from their residents/patients
- 0Jun 14, '13 by mwilso2318I'm a CNA student and we're actually going over infection infect control and the instructor was telling us how hand washing breaks the chain of infection. Great, but she was saying how easily things spread for ex she said how in this resident had conjunctivitis and next thing you know the whole unit did and that this resulted from worker bad hand hygiene. Not saying YOU were careless but has anyone caught something a resident had. Esp something more serious like mrsa or something.
Only thing that worries me is bringing some I feel infection home to my baby. Of course doing something wrong and hurting a resident would be another worry.
- 0Jun 14, '13 by stewartfamily2010I have not yet but I've only done clinicals (haven't landed a job yet) but what I did as a precautionary measure, when I could, is I'd go into my house through the garage, strip down and leave my dirty scrubs and shoes in there. Then hop right in the shower before my little boy realized I was home.
- 0Jun 14, '13 by 1feistymamaI'm still a student so haven't had much opportunity to catch much, however, I taught preschool for several years and even with lots of hand-washing, everyone (students and teacher alike) seemed to catch every virus until we'd built up our immunities. I imagine it will be the same in this line of work which is probably one reason so many immunizations are required when we enter the field.
I have read on here that several nurses do like stewartfamily2010, they change and shower as soon as they get home and some even go as far as to wash their scrubs separately from the family's laundry. I don't know if this really provides a benefit since the clothes still go in the same machine....germs can survive in the machine. I personally wash everything on cold but dry with heat so I hope to kill most of it in the dryer.
- 0Jun 14, '13 by mstearns09Yep. Spent the entire month of January and half the month of February sick with five different things because I picked them up from work. I am the hygiene queen at work and I still got sick.
- 0Jun 14, '13 by green34We suspect that I did. I was out of school for 1 week and I was actually working as a unit clerk when I managed to get this nasty headache that turned out to be related to a sinus infection. Then I felt fine but lost my voice and developed a cough. It was hard trying to triage patients with a mask on and yelling over them. I had to go get antibiotics from my NP.
I think the worst thing I have ever caught from the hospital was probably food poisoning. No fever, no pain, felt fine till approx 30 minutes before I'd vomit. I also threw up about 8 times in 6 hours. Another nurse had the same thing so we think we caught something from the late night cafeteria food.
- 0Jun 15, '13 by i_love_patient_careI've never gotten anything like MRSA or c. diff from the hospital or nursing home, but then again I am always working. It's hard to tell where you got it from, especially during cold/flu season.
- 0Jun 15, '13 by blondebabe0625Okay. I haven't gotten anything from a pt or resident yet. I love washing my hands and carrying hand sanitizer. My boyfriend is always giving me a bad time saying that your body needs the germs. Input?
- 0Jun 15, '13 by SweetAsSugarI've caught a nasty stomach bug or two. I once thought I caught C-Diff, but it was (thankfully!) a false alarm. After that, I became even more conscious of sanitation than I already was.

Danny Ward
Since November 2008 Danny Ward has been travelling Great Britain, often in his T reg Polo, sometimes on the coach, entertaining audiences with his unique style of observational humour.

He was nominated for the Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year in 2013 and has gigged extensively across the UK including comedy venues such as The Glee Clubs, Jongleurs, The Highlight, Just The Tonic, Baby Blue, Komedia, the Bearcat and Downstairs At The Kings Head.

Kevin Precious tour dates
Gary Delaney
Gary Delaney is a razor sharp one-liner comedian, who is widely regarded as being the most quotable comic on the circuit. The high quantity of stand out gags leaves the audience struggling to remember them all. He regularly plays all the big clubs including The Comedy Store, Highlight, Jongleurs, Komedia, Glee, Rawhide, The Frog and Bucket, Hyena, Baby Blue, The Stand, Comedy Café, Lee Hurst's Backyard, Banana Cabaret and headlines at clubs throughout the UK.
Gary is a regular guest on Mock The Week and has also recently appeared on Dave's 'One Night Stand', Comedy Central's 'Comedy Blue' and on Channel 4's 'Robert's Web' as well as Radio 4's 'Loose Ends' and Radio 2's 'Russell Kane's Whistle-Stop Tour'. His debut show 'Purist' was a big hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 2010, selling out every night and receiving many four and five star reviews.
'Gary Delaney has more quality jokes in this hour than many comics have in their entire careers… Quite brilliant' (The Scotsman).
'I laughed and I laughed and I laughed! A master craftsman' (The Times)
'Taut, brilliant one-liners. Delaney was worth the price of admission alone' (Chortle)
'Quickfire material of the very highest quality is pretty much guaranteed from the
fast-thinking Delaney, a master of the deadpan one-liner' (The Guardian).

First an explanation video, and then the only copy of the scenes from the show we could find that hadn't been deleted from YouTube.
Here's more from the YouTube description:
A scene depicting runners at the Boston Marathon being killed and another depicting two bombs being detonated are SEPARATE SCENES but they are in the SAME EPISODE.This episode of Family Guy was broadcast 3 weeks ago.The media is labeling this whole issue a "hoax" and Seth McFarlane is calling anyone who talks about it "abhorrent," when he's the guy who made a cartoon making light of killing Boston Marathon runners and detonating bombs.Hollywood Reporter article admits they are from the same episode. "Turban Cowboy," which premiered in the U.S. on March 17, culminates with a scene depicting Peter Griffin accidentally blowing up a bridge by dialing a terrorist's cell phone. But in the video making the rounds online, the cell phone scene is placed immediately after an unrelated moment in the episode when Bob Costas, voicing himself, asks Peter how he won the Boston Marathon."

With the first pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select….Anthony Bennett, Forward, UNLV.
Those were the words that rang out loud to open the 2013 NBA Draft this past off-season. Bennett is an extremely talented power forward, and is expected to be a huge piece of the future for the Cavaliers. He stands at 6'8″ and weighs in at 240 pounds. He's not the most athletic big man in the NBA, but with his size and strength, he'll be very hard to stop for opposing power forwards.
There have been some injury concerns about him since the Draft, but as of recently he has been cleared for full participation in training camp. If he's able to work on his game and stay healthy, he's going to have a role immediately this season. The Cavaliers have a glut of big men on their roster, so Bennett's playing time might not be exactly what he'd like, but you can expect to see him on the floor for around 15-20 minutes per game.
Bennett has a very solid post game offensively, but does need to improve his mid-range shooting. The Cavaliers love to run the pick and roll offense with star point guard Kyrie Irving, and that will be one area that Bennett needs improvement as well. He's fairly polished with his back to the bucket, and has great power moves at the rim as well.
Last season in his freshman year at UNLV, Bennett averaged 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. He's a very aggressive player on the boards, and that will be something that the Cavaliers will need once they either trade or allow Anderson Varejao to walk in free agency. He may not have the height to be a defensive factor at the rim, but he did average 1.2 blockers per game last year as well.
Obviously the biggest area of improvement that he needs would be his defensive game. In the NBA, the most athletic guys come to play, and if you're a big man, you have to be able to defend your rim. Bennett has the ability and work ethic to become a solid defender, but it's going to take a lot of hard work. There's no doubt that Mike Browns and the Cleveland coaching staff will work hard alongside of Bennett to make his improvement move as quickly as possible.
Due to his ability to go strong to the bucket, Bennett will likely be on the free-throw line a good amount of time throughout his NBA career. He shot just 69% from the line last season at UNLV, and that will be another area that needs improvement as he enters the NBA. He's been working hard on that aspect of his game already this off-season, according to multiple reports, so we should see an improvement in that percentage.
Overall, Bennett is a very talented player that has a future in the league. He likely won't be a starter, at least early on this season with Andrew Bynum, Anderson Varejao, and Tristan Thompson being the top three projected big men on the Cavs' roster. Bennett will see time off the bench on what should be a very consistent basis, so we will be able to watch as he progresses throughout the year. The Cavaliers have a great player who could turn into something very special in the future.

Have you ever Wikipediaed "American Food?"
No? You aren't gripped by irrepressible urges to know which edibles Wikipedia considers to be the national grub? Folks, you are in for the all-American scoop, apple pie a la mode style..
{By the way, if you know the proper spelling for "Wikipediaed," do tell. Urban Dictionary delivered conflicting reports.}
First of all, my subconscious has not been giving American food the respect it deserves. Wikipedia whispered "shame on you" while instantly redirecting my ignorant search for "American Food" to "Cuisine of the United States."
Not only does Wikipedia consider American food to be worthy of the title "cuisine," it has volumes to say on the subject. The article traces American food through history, profiles regional specialties, and outlines the significant influences of our immigrant backgrounds, be they Polish or Polynesian. To be honest with you, I'd expected to be taken to a page with a picture of a hot dog and a Hostess cupcake. For as much as I love food, I haven't been giving the USA enough credit for good eats.
Though American food may not be viewed as the fanciest, the spiciest, or even the most original, we are the nation of pumpkin pie, of deep-dish pizza, of National Grilled Cheese Month. Any nation that dedicates an entire month to grilled cheese is a nation where I can graze with gusto.
Yes friends, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. While I consider grilled cheese a VIP—it's always invited to the menu—what's not to celebrate about hot, gooey cheese oozing betwixt two buttery bread slices? Let's party with one of my all-time favorite sandwiches: Apple Butter, Turkey, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese.
We spread sweet apple butter on two bread slices, then sprinkle with savory sage. Trust me, we want this killer flavor-combo hitting us on all sides.
Next, we fill our apple-buttered bread with thinly sliced apples, fresh-from-the-deli turkey, and oodles of sharp cheddar.
Hit that baby on a Panini press (or stove top) until the cheese is melty and marvelous, then say hello. Apple Butter, Turkey, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese: hot, ready, and in our face in 6 minutes or less.
Our Apple Butter, Turkey, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese is so much more than just a sandwich. The sweet apple butter, earthy sage, and tart apple slices jive with our turkey to create a totally new sammie experience that will make you want to hug a loaf of bread, thank the dairy gods, and party under an apple tree. "Official" grilled cheese month may end April 30th, but don't let the calendar fool you. Apple Butter, Turkey, and Cheddar Grilled Cheese deserves lovin' any day of the year!
Sweet apple butter, savory sage, tart apple slices, and gooey cheddar cheese combine to create one killer grilled cheese sandwich.
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons apple butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dry rubbed sage
- 1/2 firm, tart apple, thinly sliced (I like Fuji or Granny Smith)
- 3 ounces deli turkey meat
- 1-2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon butter, plus additional for grilling sandwich
- Preheat skillet or Panini press to medium heat.
- Spread 1 side of the bread slices with 1 tablespoon apple butter each. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage over each slice. Layer apple slices on one slice, then top with turkey, then cheddar. Lay remaining bread slice on top, apple butter side down.
- Butter the outsides of the sandwich, then grill on stovetop (cooking each side for 2-4 minutes until the bread is toasty and golden) or place in Panini press, using additional butter or cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking. Slice and enjoy warm.

Leverage Mother Leaders
America cannot solve the most pressing problems on our own, and the world cannot solve them without America. The best way to advance America's interest in reducing global threats and seizing global opportunities is to design and implement global solutions. This isn't a philosophical point. This is our reality.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her confirmation testimony
We have an opportunity to support Secretary of State Clinton in crafting global solutions that benefit the world's children. She will need the support of a powerful constituency to realize her vision. Luckily she has one waiting in the wings: mothers.
Why mothers?
Worldwide one child dies every 3 seconds due to malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases, while nearly one out of every two children lives in poverty. Mothers are primarily raising children around the world; we are committed and concerned and we recognize that our security depends on children thriving everywhere. It's time to flex our Mother Leverage!
What Mother Leverage looks like:
100 Mother Leaders donate 1 hr/wk through Mother's Day.
Reach 1,000,000 mothers* through media, social networking and face to face.
Shift policy affecting 132,000,000 orphans in the world!
Join 100+ mothers who will STAND FOR THE WORLD'S CHILDREN in communities across the U.S. between now and Mother's Day. We are asking President Obama and Congress to fulfill old promises to fund programs benefiting AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children and to designate a Children's Ambassador that reports directly to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Imagine a high-level position in the State Department given the mandate to champion programs that serve children! This is NOT too good to be true. It's too important to remain an idea.
This invitation comes with all the materials you need to become one of the 100+ Mother Leaders – including 100 postcards for your community to sign and your own personal cheerleader!
To learn more about becoming a Mother Leader, click here. For information about the campaign, visit StandfortheWorldsChildren.org.
Thank You!
Just received the Mother Leader package today! It was an exciting event in our home- our two year old burst out into a lengthy rendition of happy birthday. He loved the box.
The materials are great. The calendars will get into hands that will turn the inspiration into loving and strong action for children, mothers, families, and communities.

Pretend for a moment that you have come across a burning building. From inside, you hear the howls of a dog and the screams of a human infant. Flames licking at your heels, you run into the building and realize that you only have time to save one or the other. Which one should you choose – the dog or the child?
While unlikely in real life, fantasy situations like the burning building scenario provide fruitful ways of studying human moral intuition. The most widely known of these is the trolley problem. It goes like this. A runaway trolley car is headed toward a group of five people walking along the trolley tracks. You are bystander and can pull a switch which will divert the trolley down a spur where one person is walking on the tracks. If you do nothing, five people will die. But throwing the switch will mean certain death for one person. What should you do? The scenario can be varied in many ways. For example, what if you have to personally push a person onto the tracks in order to save the five people? And what if the person was Adolph Hitler or Peter Singer, the world's greatest living moral philosopher?

Occupy Wall Street
Occupy Tulsa Joins the Fight to Save North Tulsa Rec. Centers
BC Franklin Park was the first park to be built in the north side of Tulsa during the 1960's Model Cities Project, and its Recreation center provided enrichment to the lives of generations of kids in the community. The city officially abandoned the center 10 years ago, but various community groups continued to use the building until 2009. Falling into disrepair due to the city's neglect, the center and two others like it face demolition by the City of Tulsa as part of the "Master Parks Plan" put together by the city Parks department several years ago without local citizens' approval. The center is slated for demolition on March 16th.
At the meeting, Tulsa resident Byron Watson detailed a history of the city's misappropriation of funds which had been earmarked to BC Franklin and other Parks like it in North Tulsa. The Third Penny Sales Tax of 2006 has been collected each year, and according to city officials, still remains in the account, but is not being used for the maintenance and upkeep of the parks to which the funds had been designated. Byron also highlighted other areas in the city's budget which have been allocated for North Tulsa parks, but spent elsewhere or simply disappeared. Community leaders at the meeting called for an independent building inspector to re-evaluate the city's estimate of required repairs to the center which the city claims amount to over $2.2 Million, a number which "changes every time we talk to them," said NAACP official Regina Goodwin.
Occupy Tulsa Co-Organizer Stephanie Lewis attended a recent District 4 "City Hall in your Neighborhood" meeting, and reported that the issue of the parks was raised to Mayor Dewey Bartlett during the Q&A session. She said that Bartlett claimed to have met with nine local pastors from churches in North Tulsa, and brokered a deal to have the community's children bussed to local churches for activities, rather than keep the Recreation Centers in the parks open. "This small group decided what would happen to the historic parks of north Tulsa" without actually consulting the people in the community that use them, Lewis said.
Occupy Tulsa has been involved in working to keep the Greenwood Cultural Center open, whose funding was cut by the state and city over 2 years ago. Now they are also joining the fight to save the Rec centers. Occupy Tulsa Organizer Daniel Lee spoke at the meeting hosted by the city about the parks demolition project at Rudisill Library the previous week, stating "Occupy Tulsa loves parks" to laughter in the room. He continued, "…and we are committed to standing together, shoulder to shoulder, with the citizens of North Tulsa, in front of the bulldozers if need be, to save these centers and the community."

CVS to stop selling tobacco products
CVS Caremark is kicking the habit of selling tobacco products at its more than 7,600 drugstores nationwide as it focuses more on providing health care.
The nation's second-largest drugstore chain said Wednesday that it will phase out cigarettes, cigars and chewing tobacco by Oct. 1, a move that will cost about $2 billion in annual revenue but won't affect its 2014 earnings forecast. CVS Caremark leaders say removing tobacco will help them grow the company's business of working with doctors, hospitals and other care providers to improve customers' health.

The Yuma Catholic Shamrocks are holding on to their number one ranking in A.I.A. Division 4 with only three weeks left in the regular season. At 16 and 2, the Shamrocks only losses this season were to Tucson and Lake Havasu; both Division 1 teams.
Their latest home contest against Parker proved to be a display of why they are ranked so high in the state. Even though the Rocks only had a 10 point halftime lead, that lead would grow to 24 by the end of the contest. The Rocks won 63 to 39.
The Shamrocks Jason Reid led the team with 16 points and 11 rebound, while Grady Bourguignon put down 15 points and 8 rebounds. Bourguignon filled in for Matt Pistone, who went down with an ankle injury. Pistone's injury will keep him off the court for at least the rest of the week. The Shamrocks coaching staff will evaluate his status this coming weekend.
Yuma Catholic hits the road this Wednesday against Gila Bend.

I have a question about the recipe "Zesty Red Quinoa Salad" from kmartinelli. I'm new to Quinoa and didn't realize there were different kinds. How does the red and black quinoa differ from the "normal" brown type in taste, texture and cooking?
Kristen is the Executive Editor of Food52
They don't differ very much at all -- the red and brown are a little sturdier and nuttier and take a little bit longer to cook (the packages usually specify the exact cooking time).
Well played.

Hair Idol: Ursula Burns
Ursula Burns is the chairman and CEO of Xerox. But more importantly, she's the first African-American woman CEO to head a Fortune 500 company and the first woman to succeed another woman as head of a Fortune 500 company.
Burns worked as an intern at Xerox before permanently joining the corporation's product development team when she finished her masters in 1981. She never had any intention of working on the business end of things until she was unexpectedly offered an executive assistant position.
When Xerox restructured in 1999, she was named vice president for Global Manufacturing. After that, things started moving very quickly. The next year she became vice president of Corporate Strategic Services and started working closely with (soon to be) CEO Anne Mulcahy. Their partnership was a hugely valuable learning experience for Burns and she eventually replaced Mulcahy in 2009.
Tah dah! History made.

Joshua Ledet was determined to stay stoic, even after Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez were announced as American Idol's Season 11 finalists and his own journey came to an end. But after the lights dimmed on his final performance — and a tearful Jennifer Lopez threw her arms around his neck — Ledet could no longer keep his emotions in check. "Honestly I didn't think I was going to cry," Ledet told reporters after the show. "I felt good about the whole situation. But when people come up to you and try to comfort you, then the tears start coming. With all their support I lost it a little bit."Though he was subdued, Ledet remained adamant that he wasn't disappointed to see his fellow contestants move on. "I was super excited for Phillip and Jessica," he said. "I felt relieved and a lot of pressure was off of me. I feel really good."For the Westlake, Louisiana, native, who received countless standing ovations throughout the season, the future seems bright. "Jennifer told me to keep my head up and that my career is only going to go further from here," shared Ledet.Judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler echoed her sentiments in a post-show press conference. "He got a lot of standing O's, probably more than we've ever given anybody, any season," Jackson said. "That's a testament to his talent and his performances, and yes, he was amazing and he's got a giant career ahead of him."So where did it go wrong for Ledet? "What do you say at this point?" added Jackson. "They're all the best that we've had in this point of the competition, and they're all really winners. If you make the right record with the right songs you all stand a chance of becoming your own American Idol. He didn't do anything wrong."Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

Three years ago was, I believe, the first time I bought a game directly from a developer based on just a quick look at trailers, having read no reviews. The quality of this game, Hegemony: Phillip of Macedon by Longbow Games, could be what led to my proclivity of taking risks with lesser known games, leading to more and more crap in my gaming library. Three years later, we have a second Hegemony, Hegemony Rome: The Rise of Caesar. Does this live up to the predecessor? Do I hold a grudge? Let's find out.
Amplitude are back, the team behind Endless space and Dungeon of the Endless – the latter which somehow managed to fit every single genre known to man inside one, small, game – have released their new strategy game into the realms of Early Access. Here they've been a little less ambitious, only sticking to around three or four genres this time. Do we have yet another great game from Amplitude or have they finally slipped? Here's what I think so far.
Infested Planet, developed by relative newcomers Rocket Bear Games, is a real time tactics game combined with a bit of tower defense and seemingly taking a few cues from Space Invaders, filling the whole world with the enemies who will endlessly spawn if you can't somehow break through the trillions of enemies and finally demolish one of the many hives. Is this as arduous as it sounds? Here's what I think.
I'm always a big fan of console games finally making their way to PC shores. This is because we PC folks are a friendly, accepting, group of people. We're happy to accept all games of all genres, more so when they're suited for our format of choice. However, at the same time we also don't like to feel like we're being fobbed off with badly thought out or shoddily optimized ports. Does Zombie Tycoon have the brains, or is it dead on arrival? Here's what I think.
War, war never changes, especially when it's World War II. Change or not, WWII is likely the most covered piece of history in all of popular culture. Games have had a long love affair with it, even though there's been some recent neglect from First Person Shooters. Strategy games, on the other hand, have kept up this affair and will always continue go hand-in-hand with the war. Following this trend we have a new strategy game, Tank Operations: European Campaign by indie developers Linked Dimensions, and here's what I think of my time as commander of the Allies.
Self-flagellation is an interesting part of human nature. We all have a tendency to punish ourselves, either by watching B Movies, playing what can only be called B Games or simply whipping ourselves until it bleeds while bleating like a lost calf. What makes flagellation interesting is that we do it because we enjoy it. Blood Knights, the story of Jeremy the vampire hunter and Alysa, the moody vampiress, is something that you will either love or hate. Here's what I think.
Uzumaki Naruto is a character that has never officially made the leap to PC before, tending to stay in safer grounds like the consoles and the Hidden Leaf Village. Well, this little ninja has decided to take that risk is necessary and make that transition. What we have is the updated version of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm with extra content, fixes and changes. Has this move been worth it? Here's what I think.
Vietnam. You don't give answers, do you friend? Just questions that don't ever end. One such question is why, god, why? Or you could also ask why there is obviously an invisible target on the back of your plane and/or chopper that makes you the sole target of every enemy fighter in the country. This is Vietnam, you are in the air and there are conflicts. This is Air Conflicts Vietnam.
If somebody had said a few months ago that Saints Row IV would be a generic shooter, a Metal Gear Solid Clone, a Godzilla Ripoff, a risque text adventure, a Streets of Rage clone and the best damn superhero game ever made, all at the same time, I would have asked them to share the rather potent drugs they'd been taking and then have them sectioned because obviously they'd be stark raving mad, right? Wrong. Here's what I think of the rather schizophrenic Saints Row IV.
Move to the music. Play that f[NO]ing music. Move it to the music, yeah (Let's get it on).
Move to my music. Play that f[NO]ing music. Live through my music, yeah!
That is exactly what happens in Beatbuddy. You move to the music, you live through the music. Not the same sort of music as the above, but it's still music, possibly better music actually because it's significantly less violent. Is the moving to and living through said music a good thing? Here's what I think.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - State wildlife officials say West Nile Virus appears to the mystery illness that's caused more than two dozen bald eagles to die in Utah this month.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources says results of laboratory tests on some of the first birds found indicate they died from West Nile.
Officials say 27 bald eagles have died since Dec. 1, and six others are being treated at a wildlife rehabilitation center.
DWR says in a statement that it believes the eagles ate grebes that were infected with the virus.
The agency says the migration of the aquatic birds should be over soon so eagle deaths should stop.
They say the birds do not pose a risk to human health but people should not handle eagles if they find them.

With UW-Eau Claire Student Research Day right around the corner on April 23 and 24, many students find themselves wondering about student research projects. The Office of Research & Sponsored Programs offers four different student-faculty collaborative research programs with grants ranging from $2000 to a full year tuition and housing expenses. In addition to the grants, students in the College of Business have potential to earn credits through independent study.
Dr. Kristy Lauver, assistant professor of management, has completed four collaborative projects with students. According to Lauver, participating in a research program is viewed favorably by employers. "Organizations like to see that students have the ability to work independently and lead a project, " she said. "They also like students to have the capabilities to do research as it is often a skill needed in companies."
Dr. Kristy Lauver, Assistant Professor of Management
While students reap benefits from participating in collaborative research, the College of Business gains as well. "The College of Business benefits from increased interaction with students, additional data, information, ideas, knowledge, student feedback and input," said Lauver.
Individuals interested in conducting a research must first find a faculty mentor and a topic of interest. Students frequently collaborate with their advisors or other professors within their respective major.
Depending on the research topic, research results may be disseminated to many different audiences. Students typically share the results of their work with students, faculty and staff at the university's annual research day but it isn't unusual for student-faculty research to be published in professional publications and scholarly journals. Recently, a past collaborative research project mentored by marketing faculty members Dr. Chuck Tomkovick and Dr. Rama Yelkur even made an appearance in The New York Times. According to Lauver, every research project has the potential to make an impact.

Saturday morning, despite the predicted doom and gloom forecast, turned out to be just about perfect for rafting the Spokane River with 24 strangers as part of the Spokane River Forum's "Meet me at the River Raft and Kayak Passport Series". But rain or shine, when isn't it a perfect opportunity to recreate on the crown jewel of the Inland Northwest? Admittedly, we're not the experts in answering that question, for the nearly eight years that we've lived in this region, Saturday morning marked the first time we've seen Spokane and the Spokane River from on top of a boat of any kind. Yet for the way we write about the river, advocate for river protection, and urge others to take advantage of river opportunities, you'd think we'd have spent some quality river hours practicing what we preach. But that's the situation we found ourselves in Saturday morning when we met at Plese Flats with the Spokane River Forum organizers and other participants who we would soon be spending three plus hours with rafting from the Water Street launch spot back to Plese Flats.
This is the second year that the Spokane River Forum has organized rafting and kayaking opportunities. The goal of these opportunities is to first and foremost get people on the river, but more importantly is to teach people about the history, the environmental concerns, and opportunities to help protect the river. On this particular trip, a representative from the Health Department and from Ecology each spoke respectively before we launched about the environmental damage of the river, and what is being done to resolve that damage. For many on the trip, they were hearing about combined sewer overflows and heavy metals and toxics for the first time. And this was only one of the many firsts. Throughout the course of the morning, several members of our flotilla made comments about never seeing Peaceful Valley before, or seeing Riverside State Park for the first time. And one of our guides had a first as a couple on her boat got engaged as we made a turn by the Downriver Disc Golf course. It was an enlightening trip on many levels, and it goes without saying a thilling one as well - not to mention rewarding turning 24 strangers into great friends and contacts. We encourage all of you to take advanatage of this opportunity, for both recreational and educational purposes. And believe us whey we say it, there is a DTE raft in the near future. Watch out Spokane River! Here are some stories you might have missed last week.
Climate change and the White House. It's been an interesting week following President Obama and the issue of climate change. On Tuesday the White House released the most urgent climate change report to date, affirming what many of us already know and fear. Report co-author Anthony Janetos of the University of Maryland told The Associated Press, "There are in some cases already serious consequences. This is not a theoretical thing that will happen 50 years from now. Things are happening now." Meanwhile, a recent article in Vanity Fair paints a grim outlook for the upcoming Copenhagen climate conference in December claiming that if the US doesn't take the lead on climate change, which was failed in Bonn, Germany recently, that the uber important Copenhagen summit may prove unfruitful. According to Friends of the Earth international finance coordinator Karen Orenstein, the Obama administration has done little to cause hope for the December conference, "This is the second session this year. For the first one, Obama got a free ride and everybody was happy because it was such an improvement over Bush. But this was our first chance to see the content. We were hoping the content would be in line with what's required by science, by justice, and it wasn't at all." Read more from this fascinating Vanity Fair article HERE. And for more on the climate report, read The New York Times HERE.
"The End Of The Line." Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, DTE was raised to love fish. We might reexamine our consumption though because a new documentary titled "The End of the Line" narrated by Becker, er, uh, Ted Danson, examines overfishing which, unless reversed, could cause a world without fish in forty to fifty years. The film was instigated by the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna which happened thanks to the increasing western demand for sushi. It was "filmed across the world – from the Straits of Gibraltar to the coasts of Senegal and Alaska to the Tokyo fish market – featuring top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials," according to the site.

Blame Canada. How many caught Becky Kramer's harrowing story on Columbia River pollution in the S-R yesterday? The little Washington town of Northport–330 people–is downstream from Teck Resources Ltd's lead smelter, and has seen common cases of ulcerative colitis and other autoimmune deficiencies. Now the EPA will begin testing human health because, as Kramer writes, "For nearly a century, the smelter dumped 400 or more tons of slag, a byproduct of metal refining, into the river each day. The granular slag that created the Upper Columbia River's black sand beaches contains 25 different compounds, including lead, arsenic and mercury. Liquid mercury from the smelter also went directly into the river; more pollutants came out of its smokestack." The human health studies will also look at other communities along the river including members of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation and people who recreate on the Upper Columbia. Yep, that includes Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. Full article HERE.
