The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The United States on Thursday pressed China for reform on human rights and
its economy, making a bid to set the rules for a fast-growing Asia as it
welcomed Pacific Rim leaders to a Hawaii summit.
As police sealed off Honolulu's famed Waikiki Beach, leaders began to
arrive for the weekend talks including President Hu Jintao of China, which
days earlier criticized the US goals for the summit as overly ambitious.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, previewing the US message for the
summit of the 21-member APEC forum, said the region stands at a "pivot
point" as it becomes "the world's strategic and economic center of
Saying that the post-World War II institutions between the United States
and Europe had paid "remarkable dividends," Clinton said the time had come
for "a more dynamic and durable trans-Pacific system."
Such an order "will promote security, prosperity, and universal values;
resolve differences among nations; foster trust and accountability; and
encourage effective cooperation on the scale that today's challenges
demand," Clinton said in a speech at Honolulu's East-West Center.
The top US diplomat insisted that the United States welcomed a "thriving
China," saying it was not in either country's interest for Washington to
try to contain the rising Asian power.
But Clinton, who later headed into talks with Chinese Foreign Minister
Yang Jiechi, voiced concern about Beijing's record both on human rights
and the economy.
"We are alarmed by recent incidents in Tibet of young people lighting
themselves on fire in desperate acts of protest, as well as the continued
house arrest of the Chinese lawyer Chen Guangcheng," she said.
"We continue to call on China to embrace a different path."
Ethnically Tibetan areas of China have seen a wave of self-immolations by
Buddhist monks and nuns in protest at what they see as Beijing's stifling
rule. Rights groups say at least five monks and two nuns have died.
Chen, a blind, self-trained lawyer who exposes abuses in China's one-child
policy, was released from prison last year. But rights campaigners say he
and his wife were severely beaten earlier this year in apparent
retaliation for a video smuggled out of their home in which Chen railed
about his house arrest.
Chinese activists organized through the Internet have been flocking to his
village in recent weeks in hopes of freeing him from house arrest, but
campaigners say that paid thugs have beaten up all who come close.
The United States hopes to point to concrete results from its chairmanship
of APEC, or the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and finance
ministers met Thursday to find ways to shield the region from chaos in the
The United States is expected to announce a tentative free trade deal
called the Trans-Pacific Partnership with eight other nations --
Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda is seriously considering bringing
the world's third largest economy into the talks, a step that would move
the once-obscure pact closer to becoming an Asia-wide trade deal.
US President Barack Obama, who will lead the weekend talks in his native
state, hopes that such trade deals will ramp up US exports and create
badly needed jobs, his top priority as he seeks re-election next year.
Clinton described the Trans-Pacific Partnership as a new type of trade
deal that is "not merely a matter of economics" but also an agreement of
values -- such as openness, freedom and fairness.
"The United States will continue to make the case that, as a region, we
must pursue not just more growth, but better growth," Clinton said.
Critics point out that the pact includes communist Vietnam and say that
the agreement's details are vague. The pact has sparked opposition among
farmers in Japan and the United States who both fear growing competition.
China is not part of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and on Monday
questioned US goals for the summit as a whole, including a goal of
reducing tariffs on green goods within the APEC bloc.
"It seems that the current goals put out by the US side are too ambitious
and beyond the reach of developing economies," assistant foreign minister
Wu Hailong said.

A growing economy constantly creates new job opportunities in new sectors, but also displaces and even destroys existing jobs. The workforce in an entrepreneurial economy must always evolve as well. Government efforts to protect jobs are often misguided, hindering growth and new job creation. Pro-growth workforce rules should instead focus on developing worker skills, allowing maximum hiring and layoff flexibility, and focus adjustment efforts on getting displaced workers into new jobs as soon as possible. Small firms employ half of all private sector employees and create 60-80 percent of net new jobs in the U.S., according to the SBA. Labor rules are one of the largest barriers to entrepreneurial ventures. The World Bank's cross-country comparison of labor regulations shows lower job creation where workplace rules are more rigid. Labor rules must move beyond the early 20th century framework of management versus labor and encourage new firm formation as well as a dynamic, not static, worker.
We have received an overwhelming number of "wake-up calls" alerting us to the need for change. Because such change can only arise from innovative thinking, we must nurture the innovative mind. Young, creative people around the world have the potential to design solutions to the most pressing global challenges, such as global warming, the spread of HIV/AIDS, and even financial risk monitoring.
"Lizard King" John Bello describes his first entrepreneurial venture as a miserable failure. Bello launched South Beach Beverage Co. in 1995. Despite the popularity of other geo-based drink brands such as Nantucket Nectars and AriZona iced tea, South Beach didn't resonate with consumers, not even in the upscale Florida community that shared its name. Within two months, Bello knew the $2 million startup investment was heading, well, south.
A new study has confirmed it. A close look at our entrepreneurial history reveals that entrepreneurship is an engine for job creation and economic growth even during difficult economic times. This new study by the Kauffman Foundation suggests that policies that support entrepreneurship also support recovery. It also reveals that job creation from startup companies tends to be less volatile and sensitive to downturns when compared to the overall economy.
It is inevitable that a healthy economy will create new job opportunities, while also displacing existing jobs, as successful ventures survive and grow while others fail– even in good times. The process of job creation and economic growth relies on the constant "churning" of firms. Even so, new firms are responsible for the large majority of net new jobs in the U.S. From 1980-2005, firms less than five years old accounted for all net job growth in the country. This is why we need to approach labor rules carefully.
Many readers of this blog are familiar with the Kauffman Foundation and its work around the role of the entrepreneur as the chief agent for innovation, job creation and economic growth. Today, I would like to comment on another contribution of entrepreneurship to society- the expansion of human dignity.
The economic downturn has placed a new focus on how to generate more "job creators" in our economies and made the idea of a global celebration of entrepreneurship as a path back to positive growth rates especially relevant. This past Saturday marked the 100-day countdown to what is now the largest entrepreneurship event in the world, kicking off November 16th, 2009 - Global Entrepreneurship Week - and I am asking for your help.
Youth unemployment rates are soaring worldwide. That rate recently reached 15% in the UK, a record 25.5% in the U.S., and much higher numbers in other countries where economic growth and opportunity have long failed to keep pace with the growing number of young people entering the labor force. However, youth unemployment rates don't have to translate into catastrophe for that generation and those it sustains. The very victims of the situation might actually benefit from it if policymakers can incentivize them to follow their dreams. In the U.S. alone, four in ten young people ages 8 to 21 have or would like to start their own business someday. These two statistics spell opportunity to me.
Former U.S. Senator Tom Daschle gives his viewpoint on healthcare reform legislation and the obstacles ahead. Read more to learn about the legal, administrative and regulatory challenges ahead as a result of this major legislation.

Space Dye Funnel Jacket
This is my second sport funnel jacket from bebe and fourth bebe sport jacket overall. I was really attracted to the space dye look in the dark pink-in person it's really pretty, maybe a tinge darker in person than on line. This material is extremely soft-sales girl told me that she bought the matching shorts just to sleep in! I normally wear a s in bebe tops but like the other funnel jacket I own purchased a m in this which is perfect-form fitting but not too tight. Thinner material, but great for layering or worn alone in any season really as a previous review mentioned. Very flattering cut with the ruching on the front and back!
July 8, 2013
Good as usual
I may own 6 of funnel jackets. Soon after I saw this color, I ordered one my usual size XS, I am 107 lb, 5'1", it fits great, very soft and stretchy material, thin and light. Good as to and from jacket for spring and fall. Do not expect warmth from this jacket, but it's good for layering underneath..
July 5, 2013
Beautiful Jacket!
Nice fit! Like the color and texture a lot. Wish they made this in more colors, like aqua, baby pink, baby blue, etc.

Kerri Clouse, Transitions director, and Chrissy Jones, assistant director, encouraged TTCCR's partners to share the news.
"We only started in September. Word of mouth is very important because we just started this program," Jones said. "We are trying to get the word out. This is not just for families you work with [juvenile cases]. This program is for your neighbors, your friends, your kids in school— anybody you know."
Families of all walks and socioeconomic levels are welcomed. The focus of Transitions' seven-week program is to target families with children ages 10-14. During this time, students are most likely leaving elementary school, adjusting to middle school or entering high school. These normal transitional periods often trigger stress for both parents and children.
The seven-week course is also an opportunity for families to re-evaluate their values. Clouse said it is easy for parent and children interactions to be lost in a technology-centered world. Each Transitions session is an opportunity to consciously slow down.
"One night a week— this session [starting Jan. 22] will be held every Tuesday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. — the family will meet for a family meal at the beginning of each session. BICC will provide the food. This is where the family can sit together and visit with each other, which is a lot for this day and time," Clouse said. "Some families say this is the only time they get to sit all together."
Family dinner is followed by breakout group sessions with the parents and children separated. Both groups come back together after an hour for a family session. During this time, families have the opportunity to talk, review and practice new skills learned, work on family projects or play games.
Group topics discussed include: (parents) using love with limits, making house rules, encouraging new behavior, catch them being good, using consequences, and building bridges; (children) having goals and dreams, appreciating parents, dealing with stress, following rules, reaching out to others and handling peer pressure; (family) hopes and dreams, appreciating family members, family meetings, family values, building communication and putting it altogether.
"The two group topics are similar. If parents are talking about limit setting then youth may be talking about being more responsible, and consequences," Clouse said.
Healthy families may utilize the program to ensure continued growth and communication.
"There is no magic answer," Jones said. "The big thing this program stresses is how important it is for parents to be involved. It encourages talking about how things are going in their children's lives and being involved in the activities their kids enjoy."
"All this in turn makes kids more willing to open up and share with their parents."
Skills learned in the seven-week course can be utilized in other areas of the participants' lives, Clouse said.
"These are skills the youth can use throughout life. One of our goals is to have youth learning skills which will help them be better parents in the future," Clouse said.
Added Jones, "The families who graduated in December mentioned how beneficial it was to have that support group of other parents. They may not be going through the same thing exactly, but they still have children and are struggling with different issues. They can get ideas from other parents of what they could have done differently."
The next session begins on Jan. 22. Clouse said there is no charge for families to join the program and participate. All queries can be addressed to Kerri Clouse at BICC by calling 423-559-1112 or by email at email@example.com.

Apple iPad VS. Android Tablet: At Work and at Home
Mar 14, 2012 9:37 AM, By Jason Bovberg
Tablet computing is the wave of the future. Which one is best for your connected environment?
If you want a glimpse of how tablets may—or may not—be poised to integrate into professional AV systems, let's consider how each of them integrates into the home AV system.
True to the aforementioned proprietary nature of the iPad, Apple offers the ability to use the device in home AV scenarios, but largely with its own equipment. In the home, once you have invested in Apple TV—which provides a central computing hub for your audio and video media—you can download the Airplay app and turn your iPad (or iPhone or iPod touch) into an entertainment-control device. You can then stream music, photos, and videos to Apple TV from the device, and vice versa. You own the content in each place. But you're locked into the Apple ecosystem, which, admittedly, many people consider to be a great thing.
However, this presents a true dilemma in the professional world, where systems are guaranteed not to be Apple-centric. Many end-users, and customers of end-users, will be carrying iPads and other iOS devices, in a phenomenon sometimes called BYOD (bring your own device). And there are ingenious professional AV applications already that incorporate the iPad. Presonus Studio Live comes to mind.
Just as the Android tablet in business scenarios provides a multitude of options with various connectivity options and display types, the Android tablet at home provides a messy but powerful range of opportunities. Thanks to the Android tablet's plethora of I/O ports, you can hook into any number of hardware solutions from many manufacturers, using generic cables, and you can connect wirelessly for remote control. And thanks to the open architecture of the onboard OS, literally anyone can write an app that can transform the tablet into a feature-rich, customizable control center for your home AV.
One of the premier Android media-control app creators is Griffin Technology, whose wireless Beacon universal remote control system pairs with the tablet via Bluetooth to enable complete control over the entire home entertainment system; Vizio is even building an Android tablet with an infra-red blaster and remote-control technology built in. If you're looking for a home-automation solution for the whole house, check out Control4, whose MyHome apps work securely with your various connected systems over your home Wi-Fi network. These kinds of app innovations are occurring almost daily in the Android world.
Tablet computing in general is not, at the moment, poised to replace desktops and laptops in the business environment. Neither are tablets replacing home systems. The coming tide of ultrabook computers might go further in that regard. But tablets are certainly rising in prominence. Over the next few years, expect them to come into their own both at home and at work. Now's the time to prepare and do your research.

The fit of this product is good overall. I do not like this new changed fabric as it is very thin and unforgiving and I am in good shape. I like the style and overall fit just not the fabric.

August 19, 2013
Bad Material
It looks cute but the material is that new cheap Nylon + spandex mix. It makes you look fat even on me who has a body fat of 13%. I was so disappointed. I'll not buy it again from BEBE Sport until they go back to the material they used to use (polyester, spandex mix.)

Hey! Come down to Rockhead's Comics and Games in Kenosha, WI on Fridays, we will start playing Anima there that day!
Posted 15 April 2010 - 06:08 PM
Wow, not sure who posted that but I was just about to say it as well.
This Friday, April 16th at Rockheads in Kenosha. We'll be playing the game for our first time. A group of about 4 of us.
Posted 23 April 2010 - 09:54 AM
There is a decent group of players at Rockhead's in Kenosha, corner of 23rd ave and 63rd st in Kenosha WI. I don't know if you've made contact with this lot yet, but it seems they've answered you. I play a few different games with most of them, and plan on picking up Anima myself in short order.
Posted 24 April 2010 - 03:07 AM
neeto there are some people! ill have to get some figs then...i started playing Hordes because i didnt know...but with my new job..i can afforded to hope on both
Posted 24 April 2010 - 08:16 AM
Wonderful! If you're a SE Wisconsin Gamer, I have to assume you've been to/know of Rockhead's yes? I tried sending you a private message but got a server error instead. If you were to swing past Rockhead's on a friday, there's a very good chance you'd find most of us. Just ask the owner about Anima and he'll be able to point you at us.
Posted 25 April 2010 - 03:59 PM
Which friday are we talking about, this coming friday im open, the 31st.
Posted 25 April 2010 - 04:03 PM
Every Friday! MWAHAHA! (Friday is open game night at Rockhead's.) You'll generally be able to find folks to play just about anything. I myself have trouble making it on Fridays, however the rest of the gang is just about always there. Allen, (the owner of Rockhead's) is playing Anima as well. If you show up on Friday and ask for a game of Anima, or ask him to point you at the folks who're currently playing it. You'll find us.
Posted 25 April 2010 - 04:22 PM
sounds good! what time?
Posted 26 April 2010 - 01:30 AM
Fridays people are there from 4 till 10pm typically. A chunk of the Anima players will be absent this Friday (May 1st) though due to a birthday party.
Posted 26 April 2010 - 03:58 AM
Errr, this Friday is April 30th Bran. Are you at a bday party Friday or Saturday?
Posted 26 April 2010 - 04:44 PM
The birthday party will be this Friday, April 31st. However, I'm sure we'll be at Rockhead's on Friday, May 7th. As a bonus, Rockhead's stays open until midnight on the first Friday of each month.
So, Farin, where are you from?
Posted 27 April 2010 - 02:58 AM
So it seems this Friday is a bust Farin. However, next Friday (the first Friday of the month) should be a winner. As Nick said, Rockhead's is open until Midnight on the first friday of the month. Should be able to get a good bit of gaming in at that point.
Hopefully, I'll have a model or two painted by that time.

* U.S. to maintain strong security relationship with Iraq
* Panetta confident Iraq can handle Iran-backed militants
* Ahmadinejad sees no change in Iran's relations with Iraq
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The United States pledged on Sunday to
maintain a strong security relationship with Iraq for years to come
despite the scheduled pullout of all U.S. troops and warned Iran not to
try to exploit the situation.
"No one should miscalculate America's resolve and commitment to helping
support the Iraqi democracy," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on
the NBC program "Meet the Press." "We have paid too high a price to give
the Iraqis this chance."
No one should doubt American commitment to Iraq, in particular its
neighbor Iran, Clinton added.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expressed confidence Iraq would be able to
deal with any threat from Iran-backed militants after the U.S. withdrawal.
After months of negotiations with officials in Baghdad failed to reach an
agreement to keep possibly thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq as trainers,
President Barack Obama announced on Friday he would stick to plans to pull
out the remaining force of 40,000 American troops by year's end.
Iran already is at odds with Washington and other Western governments over
its nuclear ambitions and Clinton warned Tehran against trying to exert
its influence in Iraq. Like Iran, Iraq is a majority Shi'ite Muslim
country. But the two neighbors have engaged in periodic hostilities for
"Iran would be badly miscalculating if they did not look at the entire
region and all of our presence in many countries in the region," she said
on the CNN program "State of the Union" from Uzbekistan.
U.S. troops led an invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The Pentagon said there
have been more than 4,400 U.S. military deaths in Iraq since the 2003
Clinton, speaking on the program "Fox News Sunday," said Iraq "is a
sovereign, independent nation with whom we have very good relations. And
we expect to have a continuing strong security relationship for many years
to come."
"What we've agreed to is a support and training mission similar to what we
have in countries from Jordan to Colombia. And we will be working with the
Iraqis. We will also have a very robust diplomatic presence," Clinton
Clinton told ABC's "This Week," "So, no, we're not going to have bases in
Iraq but we have bases elsewhere."
Panetta said Iraq would be able to handle itself and noted that America
would still have some 40,000 troops in the region, including 23,000 troops
in Kuwait. That does not count U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan.
"Iraq itself has developed an effective force to be able to deal with
those threats," Panetta told reporters after meeting with Southeast Asian
defense ministers on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.
"And what we've seen in the past when we had concerns about what Iran was
doing was that Iraq itself conducted operations against those Shia
extremist groups. ... They did it in conjunction with our support and we
thought they did a great job. And they'll continue to do that," he said.
In a CNN interview aired on Sunday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he
did not foresee any changes in Iran's relationship with Iraq following the
U.S. troop pullout.
"The government of Iraq, the parliament, we have a very good relationship
with all of them," Ahmadinejad told CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." "... And
we have deepened our ties day by day."
Republicans pushed their criticism of Obama's decision to remove all
troops, which they argue could embolden Iran.
"He ended Iraq poorly," Senator Lindsey Graham, a prominent Republican
voice on foreign policy and military affairs, told "Fox News Sunday,"
faulting Obama for failing to complete a deal with Iraq to keeping U.S.
troops inside that country as trainers after the end of the year. Iraq
balked at granting such U.S. troops immunity as Washington had requested.
"The Iraqis have no air force," Graham said. "They have no intelligence
gathering capability. They ... need counterterrorism assistance. There are
missions that ... only we can do. The Iraqis, in my view, were open-minded
to this. This was a failure by the Obama administration to close the

Basics of Online Payday Loans
On account of rising prices of basic necessities, a lot of people are going through financial hardships to make ends meet. This is especially true for working class individuals who live from one payday to another. In case an unexpected emergency expense pops up, these folks run short of money to handle the situation. As a result, it is necessary to have access to some kind of monetary assistance to take on these emergencies. Online payday loans are the best solution to resolve many of the short-term financial obligations.
These loans impose minimum rules on borrowers to obtain a loan. To be eligible to get a loan through this facility, a person must be an adult resident, have a gainful job and a bank account for sending and withdrawing money. Anyone who fulfills these conditions can submit an application for a payday loan. The procedure of getting loans is pretty simple. A borrower needs to fill up a brief application form at the website of the loan provider, and wait around for approval. If the loan application is accepted, money will be immediately channeled in the bank account of the borrower by way of wire transfer. Thus, you could expect an immediate loan within 24 hours.
The complete process of borrowing as well as lending is done on the World Wide Web. You do not have to pay a visit to any physical office to avail instant cash. This in turn saves a lot of time during an unexpected emergency. However, the interest rate charged is extremely higher compared to conventional lending options. Generally, lenders charge a stunning 20 percent to 40 percent rate of interest on the loan money. Likewise, lenders charge penalties for late payment in case borrowers do not make timely repayment. Thankfully, you can overcome most of these drawbacks by acting diligently.
Review the rates of interest as well as the terms of loan agreement of each lender. Glance at the lending contract carefully, and clear any kind of doubt you have. Ensure that the lenders are legitimate by verifying their affiliation with better business bureau. This will ensure that your personal information is secure and safe. Furthermore, it will also guarantee secure online transactions.
Check out customer support services of each lender to ensure that your queries will be resolved quickly. Finally, negotiate with a lender who provides the best deal with low rates and favorable conditions. Locating a great deal on online payday loans becomes fairly easy, if you do your homework beforehand. Check this website for more details.

MORRISSEY: If Irish are to win, Golson must have spectacular game
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com January 7, 2013 7:34AM
Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson did everything he needed to do against Oklahoma. | AP

- THE BREAKDOWN: Notre Dame vs. Alabama — preview, staff picks and more
Updated: January 7, 2013 6:51PM
After a month-plus-long barrage of references to the Golden Dome and "Roll Tide,'' of odes to Knute Rockne and Bear Bryant, and of enough stories about Manti Te'o for readers to be on a first-name basis with his second-grade teacher, there's only one thing left to say:
It's probably time to play the game.
No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama face off in the BCS title game Monday night, and the buildup has been both ridiculous and ridiculously fun. If the game matches all the talk leading up to it … well, it can't. The one way it might come close is if the halftime show turns out to be Jesus' Second Coming, and only then if He belts out ND's fight song. That's how much energy, discussion, analysis and debate has been pumped into the dormant month of December and the early days of January.
This is what happens when two of the most storied programs meet for a national championship. It is Notre Dame's idea of heaven: the Fighting Irish in their rightful place at the top of the heap, even if it has taken a few decades to get there. It is Alabama's idea of business as usual.
On one side, you have the feral optimism of Notre Dame fans, and on the other, the oddsmakers' double-digit, Debbie Downer view of the Irish's chances. In the middle of it is a quarterback who turned 20 last week. As much as coach Brian Kelly has sought to play it down, the night is going to come down to Everett Golson.
If he plays a near-perfect game, Notre Dame can win. If he doesn't play well, Notre Dame can expect a tropical depression inside Sun Life Stadium.
No pressure, kid.
Golson has offered hints of greatness. At Oklahoma in late October, he hit wide receiver Chris Brown for a 50-yard completion almost immediately after the Sooners scored a touchdown to tie the score in the fourth quarter. It changed the game and forced rowdy fans to use their inside voices.
"A big step for our quarterback,'' Kelly said after Notre Dame's victory that night.
"The progression I've made from Game 1 to now, the trust in my teammates and the trust that they have in me … makes me a lot more confident,'' Golson said the other day.
The Irish went out of their way to shield Golson this season, especially early when he was having trouble holding on to the football. The team rarely made him available to reporters. Whatever the quarterback of one of the most prominent programs in the nation was thinking was a mystery.
There won't be anywhere to hide Monday night. All eyes are going to be on a redshirt freshman against a nasty Alabama defense.
If Golson reverts to being the quarterback he was against Stanford, the one who fumbled four times (losing three) that day, we're talking blowout. If he makes plays with his arm and his legs, we might be talking about changing his name to Everett Football by Tuesday morning.
"As they make their big plays, we're going to have to make big plays to win this game, too,'' he said. "I think we know that and the coaches know that. It's all up to us to just really execute the plan.''
Alabama has lots of NFL prospects on its roster, which helps explain the 500 points for them and the 139 for opponents this season. It also helps explain why the Crimson Tide is a 10-point favorite. Notre Dame hasn't breezed past many opponents, with five of its victories being settled by seven points or fewer. The Irish have built their undefeated record on comebacks, overtime victories, Elmer's Glue, goal-line stops, Te'o's leadership at linebacker and luck. Oops, strike that last word. When half your fan base thinks God is on its side, you don't call it Irish luck. You call it divine right.
This time, though, Notre Dame is going to need something more. Given that Golson likely will be wearing some combination of blue, green and gold, ND fans figure that'll be more than enough. Sorry, no. He needs to play a big-boy game.
He needs to be spectacular. Alabama's talent level demands that he have his best game of the season if the Irish are going to have a chance. It's asking a lot, especially after more than a month of relentless hype. Is he up to all that pressure? The legions of doubters are waiting impatiently for an answer.

Ted Batkin, president of the Visalia, Calif.-based Citrus Research Board, agreed.
"There's always some grumbling that comes with an adjustment to change," he said. "But the majority of the industry has adapted very, very well. Everybody understands what's going on and why it's happening."
The insecticidal treatments have an added benefit, Blakely said.
"I think everyone's pleased that they're treating because that's really what's going to eradicate the pest if it's here and we haven't found it," he said.
Packinghouses that receive treated fruit from restricted zones must follow approved methods to dispose of the stems and leaves from those loads.
The restrictions are expected to remain in place for about two years, Batkin said.
But that could change if additional Asian citrus psyllids are trapped.
"We know this pest has the capability of moving — it's moved everywhere it's gone," he said. "If the population increases in Southern California, that just puts more pressure on it coming over the Ridge."
The Tulare County Ag Commissioner's office also has beefed up trapping of Asian citrus psyllids throughout the county, Iacono said.
In Florida, the citrus industry has incurred more than $3.6 billion in lost revenues due to the pest, according to a January 2012 University of Florida study.
Only one citrus tree has tested positive for greening in California. The residential pummelo tree in the Hacienda Heights area of Los Angeles County, confirmed positive in March 2012, was destroyed.

Manatee Springs State Park
A large diamondback rattlesnake crossing an area of sand in a remote location of the park. The snake has recently eaten as the belly is distended along the posterior one-third of its body. Photograph was taken on a cool day in November.
Red Shouldered Hawk is perched on a tree keeping a watchful eye on the forest floor for food.
Double-crested Cormorant makes waves as she searches for fish in the river.
Under the canopy of Cypress and Tupelo trees, walk along the spring run out to the Suwannee River. Overlooks provide great spots to view turtles sunning, mullet jumping, and the Florida Manatee.
Access to the river is easy with our boat dock located at the end of boardwalk. Also a great place to fish. You could expect to catch bass, catfish, bream, and mullet.
The Manatee Spring produces an average of 100 million gallons of water a day. Great place to snorkel and swim in the constant seventy-two degree waters.
Accompanied by an adult, kids can play on our playground equipped with swings, slides and even a peek-a-boo tunnel.
Under the shade of oak and cypress trees, relax in peace and tranquility. Pileated Woodpecker and King Fisher can often be seen among the tree branches that canopy the spring and spring run.
Canoe in the calm, clear waters of our spring run that meanders out to the historic Suwannee River. Great way to view wading birds such as the Snowy Egret and the Great Blue Heron.


text: As I walked closer, four trumpeter swans paddled effortlessly to the far side of the open water. An aerator keeps an area of this pond from icing over. Displaying their nonchalance, one or two cut loose with their namesake 'trumpet' calls. More like a French horn, I guess. "They're just beautiful to watch; kind of entertaining. We've actually had them walk up in the yard. That, we didn't expect," recalls Sandy Tull. She and husband Terry Tull look out on a real-life wildlife canvas from their home just outside Sheffield, in northern Iowa. The female swans are here for the long run; sustaining injuries which prevent their return to the wild. Since they can't fly, they need to be kept near open water—a buffer zone against predators—and have feed. The Tulls provide those. The DNR keeps track of them; perhaps to match them with mates to bolster the agency's restoration program. That involvement, though, is being scaled back from 10 or 15 years ago. A big reason for that is that swans have done a good job of returning to wetlands which historically supported them. "We had 45 nesting swan pairs (in 2012), down from 51 pairs the year before. Swans (though) have done well statewide," assesses DNR wildlife technician Dave Hoffman. "We did have some struggles with the drought. Some wetlands were dry when the cygnets (young) hatched. As those swans took off cross country, some unfortunately perished because of the dry conditions." Still, wildlife officials think swans are at viable levels in northern Iowa; where more wetland remain in the Prairie Pothole Region. About 20 will be released this year…primarily in the south. Meanwhile, wild swans are showing up in more and more places—in cold weather as well as during nesting season. Besides spreading the wealth, so to speak, they hope swans – the largest waterfowl in North America – continue trumpeting the cause for wetlands. "(They) stress the importance of wetlands for habitat—a place to nest," says Hoffman. "However, those wetlands are also sources to improve our water quality; Nature's filters. They act as sponges, too; releasing water slowly during floods." Ironically, these big birds thrive in the shadow of a long-shuttered clay tile factory; tiles used for draining wetlands and fields in the first half of the 1900s, prior to development of plastic products; which are now more economical and easier to work with. You can assist with restoration by reporting any swan sightings through the year. On the DNR website (www.iowadnr.gov), click on the Education bar and then Trumpeter Swan Reporting for details. A key aspect to that tracking assistance is reporting the color and ID of bands on the swans. "Volunteers have been instrumental in the past and will continue that role," stresses Hoffman. "Volunteers, county conservation departments; other passionate people, too. They certainly help promote and continue the swan restoration." The grounded swans also attract wild swans. Tull says they'll touch down on the pond; stay a few days and move on; geese, too. "It's been a great experience; being able to watch them; to tell people about them," says Tull. "We love wildlife and nature. We are thrilled with the opportunity. It's been a great experience."

Asking growers to plant tomatoes for the U.S. market only when prices are high is difficult, he said.
"It is not a faucet you can turn on and off," he said.
The new minimum price of $8.30 per carton of open-field tomato romas compares with $6.85 per carton roma price in mid-February.
"If you were looking at an $8.30 (minimum), I wouldn't be able to ship them right now," Bennen said.
He said he hopes the March 4 market is above $8.30 per carton.
"If it is not anywhere near that or below that, tomatoes are going to stay in Mexico and won't cross," he said.
That could create upward pressure on Florida prices and soon increase the appeal of growing tomatoes in countries like Honduras and the Dominican Republic.
Bennen said a new component of the agreement is the possibility of Perishable Agricultutral Commodities Act sanctions with prices below the minimum.
"I could be put out of business with any sales that are below the minimum," he said.
That will make distributors reluctant to risk losing their whole business on tomatoes, he said.
Asked for comment on the USDA's role in enforcing the suspension agreement, a statement from the Agricultural Marketing Service said "the proposed agreement currently includes language stating that violations of the suspension agreement could also be found to be violations of the PACA."
In addition, the proposed agreement might mandate that the selling agent should be a PACA licensee.
"PACA will not have a specific role in monitoring of prices, nor record keeping, but will, as it does in normal course, accept, analyze, and investigate legitimate complaints of violations under PACA provisions," the USDA said in the statement.

Meatballs are a favorite, quick convenience food that I usually keep in the freezer for busy days. But, making a huge batch, cooking, and freezing them ... it's tiring just thinking about it! And while convenient as well as making fantastic appetizers and meal starters, they can be extremely high in fat. Since Jenny-O Homestyle Turkey Meatballs boasts 45% less fat per serving than the leading meatballs, and they're pre-cooked, so I decided to test them.
While spaghetti and meatballs is what comes to mind when I say "meatball", they are many different ways to incorporate them in a meal. I thought that a mushroom sauce would be more complimentary, so I made a quick sauce, added the meatballs. I have to say, these are pretty good little suckers! They're juicy and even have that rustic texture that a pork meatball would. While I wouldn't call their flavor very potent, it's neutral enough to assimilate into most applications.
One serving of Jenny-O Homestyle Turkey Meatballs (3 ounces - about 3 meatballs) provides 180 calories from 12 grams of fat, 3.5 grams of which is saturated (both are 18% of the daily value), 25% of the DV for cholesterol (75 mg), 15% of the DV for sodium (370 mg), 2 grams of carbohydrates and 16 grams of protein.
A 24 ounce bag (about 8 servings) cost me around $3.69. The fat and saturated fat content is rather high - but consider that one serving of Home Market Foods Italian Style Angus Beef Meatballs, 1 meatball (2 ounces), provides 160 calories and 25% of the DV for saturated fat.

For fans of the popular '80s television series "The Dukes of Hazzard," that stretch of imagination isn't too far fetched thanks to local memorabilia collector Danny Melton.
In a cabin off of Miss. Highway 8 outside of Cleveland, the loyal fan has decorated his office/man cave with an extensive Dukes collection, complete with over 20 autographs.
"I watched the show from the very beginning," said Melton, an appraiser for an insurance company. "I began collecting Dukes of Hazzard items in the '80s, but I've really been adding to it in the last 10-12 years."
Melton said his love for the show was sparked by his longtime passion for cars — specifically the 1969 Dodge Charger, which the Duke boys called General Lee.
"I bought my '69 Charger 22 years ago, and for the past 22 years I've been saying I'm going to build a General Lee out of it," said Melton. "I still haven't done it — I've always said it's got to be exact."
As the years passed and his impressive collection grew, Melton started running out of space for his accumulation.
"Before my son was born three years ago I knew we were going to have a hard time fitting everything in the house," he said. "We needed to turn my old office into a nursery, and I like to build, so I built this 12 foot by 16 foot cabin."
With just enough space to house his office computer, Melton's cabin is decorated to the ceiling with posters, calendars, autographed photos from the actors and hundreds of General Lee model cars — in essence, his office is a small Dukes of Hazzard museum.
Aside from the Charger, perhaps the most extraordinary pieces in Melton's assemblage are two miniature models depicting scenes from the show, both of which are marked with a bit of Hollywood history.
He first crafted a model of General Lee suspended mid-air over a broken bridge while being chased by Sheriff Rosco.
Upon completion, he showcased his work at the 2007 DukeFest reunion in Nashville, Tenn., where actors and fans were blown away by his creativity.
The following year he completed a second model, this time of the Boar's Head bar surrounded by vehicles that appeared regularly in the plot.
The detailed and intricate works, which each took about 30 hours to design, astonished the show's actors when Melton brought them both to the 2008 DukeFest in Atlanta.
"Everyone was just oohing and ahing over them," said Melton. "I didn't originally plan on it, but all the stars autographed the models. They've turned into something really special and I don't think I'll ever let them go."
Melton said he's yet to see anything comparable to his replicas and he hasn't considered selling them to the fans that have inquired.
"Probably the only way I'd consider selling them is if I made enough money to buy another Charger."
Melton's country roots run deep, which is another reason he associated with the Bo and Luke.
"I've split my life between Greenwood, Tallahatchie County and Cleveland, so I've always been a country boy.
"When I was in my teens and early 20s, my friends and I had a lot of similarities with the show, being from small towns and driving fast cars — that's how we had fun."
An old VCR in his cabin is loaded with episodes that Melton still watches to remind him of his youth.
"Sometimes I watch with my son," he said. "It's not considered the best show ever made, but it has some good family values in it. Mainly we watch it because we love the cars."
While Melton still hasn't customized his Charger exactly like General Lee, it might be ready by the time he hands the keys over on his son's 21st birthday.

"It is actually easier to buy 100 loads of apples in Washington than it is to buy 200 half-loads scattered around the Northeast," he said.
The challenge for Wal-Mart is collectively get through some of those barriers to take advantage of the benefits of local produce, he said.
Wenninger has more 20 years of experience in the food industry in production, supply, logistics and sales. Previous stints were at Chiquita Brands International (in charge of South American operations), Driscoll's (vice president of European operations), Florida berry company Clear Springs and S. Katzman Produce. He joined Wal-Mart three years ago as vice president of global food sourcing.

Courtesy Dole Food Co.Dole representatives and nutrition advocates attend a September opening for a donated salad bar at Foothill Elementary School in Monterey, Calif. From left to right: Marty Ordman, vice president of marketing Communications, Dole Food Co; Kent Hansen, senior vice president, Dole Fresh Vegetables; Ray De Riggi, President, Dole Fresh Vegetables; Niaomi Hrepich, regional director, Network for a Healthy California Central Coast Region; and Karen Bertram, nutrition consultant for Team California for Healthy Kids at the California Department of Education.(UPDATED COVERAGE June 26) The union whose grievance prompted the removal of salad bars from six schools in Monterey, Calif., expects to reach an agreement soon with district officials on their return.
"We meet July 10 and we should have something settled by then," said Robert Cummings, Chapter 93 president for the Classified School Employees Association.
At issue was the number of extra hours needed to prepare, stock, supervise and clean a lunchroom with a salad bar. Monterey Peninsula Unified School District funded 2.5 extra hours, Cummings said, but at larger schools in the group, staffers said it wasn't adequate.
"We kept telling the district that our people are working through their breaks and lunches to get all this stuff ready to go for the kids," Cummings said. "We supported the salad bars 100%, but we can't have our workers breaking our contract or state law. The district didn't follow through, so we had to tell them to stop it until we could come up with a settlement."
The salad bars were removed in early May, about a month before the school year ended. Dole Food Co. donated five salad bars to the district in September.
The extra hours sufficed for lunchrooms serving about 125 students, Cummings said, but were problematic beyond that.
"At a smaller school that was enough, because you're dealing with fewer kids and the lunch period is shorter," he said. "But at a larger school your lunch period takes longer because you've got so many kids. You're going through the salad bar faster; you're trying to restock it. There just wasn't enough time."
The agreement will probably include an extra lunchroom employee for up to 4 hours a day to work on the salad bar, he said.
The union unfairly received bad publicity for the removal of the salad bars, Cummings said.
"Everybody's making it look like we're trying to stop this, but if the district had done it the right way the first time, we wouldn't be at this point," he said.
Dan Albert, the district's associate superintendent of business services, didn't welcome the publicity either. He, too, expects an agreement soon.
"This has been blown way out of proportion," he said. "We just moved the salad bar from the Dole serviced containers in our cafeteria to our serving line. Kids got the same products."
"It took an additional worker to man the salad bars in the cafeteria," Albert said. "We decided it was better to pull them out two weeks before the end of the year and talk to the union. Everybody thought we were canceling, but it was just temporary."
