I purchased Audrey our Peace Lily not long ago and she's been thriving well in our home. She's even flowered a few times. I decided to re-pot her after she was keeling over in the pot (still quite happy mind you). The aftermath is an incredibly sad and pathetic wilted mess.
Using the same pot, I replaced the soil with Scott's Moisture Advantage Potting Soil and gave her a huge watering afterward. In the process of replanting her I wondered why her roots seemed so small relatively. I now suspect that in separating her from the old soil, I also separated a larger root cluster unseen in the low light. 911! What can I or should I do right away to resurrect poor Audrey? Can I save her? |

Get rid of that soil and repot with something that doesn't hold water like a sponge. You want free draining. tj |

William. First, spread the Moisture Control Soil in your garden, not indoor plants. Peace Lily roots like being snug. Too large a pot, with soil that holds water will kill a plant. Very few indoor plants thrive in constantly wet soil. The best time to repot is spring/early summer, when days are longer and plants grow at a faster pace. Some plants stop growing during winter months altogether. Was your PL growing in extremely low light? Although they say PL's thrive in low light areas, the truth is they do best in indirect bright. Too much shade could be the reason Audrey's leaves started drooping. If it were my plant, I'd buy different soil, perhaps mix my own??? Toss the Moisture Control, then repot in a container with drainage holes. I don't understand why MG and other brand name soil manufactures come up with, so-called, new and improved methods. Moisture Controls and added fertilizer is plain nonsense. They can keep it. It's a way to up the price. William, do you have a picture? Toni |

Good point, Toni, to ask of Audrey's pot has drain hole(s). And 2nd your opinion of that type of soil. Do you still have the "chunk of dirt" that might have most of Audrey's roots? That might be the easiest way to answer the question of whether or not any roots were removed and how much/many. Regardless, I'm left wondering why she would be "keeling over in the pot?" Happy PL's don't keel. They are upright plants that shouldn't trail or lean. Was there any type of white or yellowish crusty ring around the outside of the top of the soil, and/or inside the pot? I suspect this plant was sitting in a bog for a while, and most of the roots had died. Even if you accidentally tore most of the roots off, Audrey has a good chance of survival. If the amount of roots left are too small to support all of the foliage, some of the leaves will die. For now, if it were my plant, I would cut off any leaves that don't look great, as close to the soil as possible so you don't get a skewer look. Put Audrey in slightly less light than she was getting when she was happy and made a few flowers. Then put her back into more light when you see any new leaves growing. Most plant advice you will encounter says to let the soil dry completely between watering but PL's do not like to dry out. Keep Audrey damp but not soggy. Is that possible with the pot and soil you have? Did you pack the soil tightly or just let it sift/fall into place? When you gave the huge watering afterward, did the soil float around, or stay mostly in place? If you didn't pack it, and it stayed mostly in place, there should be some air pockets within the pot. If you packed and had floating, it might be too wet and devoid of air, even for Audrey. As long as the excess water drains out of the pot within 5 minutes, Audrey's roots should be happy. Unless there is a problem with water draining from the pot, I wouldn't repot again right now until her condition is more stabilized. Even though that soil is not desirable, PL likes damp conditions and can regain some health without being further molested right now if it is draining. I would also like to see a pic of Audrey. |
Thank you so much! I really would like to post a picture or two but I don't know how to do that here. To address some of your questions; She's gotten ample indirect sunlight at a south window; watered about once a week and leaves spritzed with water 2 or 3 times a week. Outside of a couple of browning leaf tips from when I hadn't spritzed her previously, she really was a happy thriving plant. She was keeling over because she was originally planted well to the side of the pot causing her to lean over the bigger she got. Hence my desire to replant her. The original soil looked "good" and dark. There was nothing yellowish or whitish evident on it or in the pot. I don't think I packed the new soil around her too tightly; only to position her. Watering was a good soaking but not enough to cause the soil to float. Looking at her today, I do think that the "plate" I placed underneath the pot prevented her from draining properly. In other words, I hadn't allowed her to drain completely before bringing her back in the house. I do now see a bit mold forming. Based on that question, I have removed that "plate" (which had accumulated water in it) to allow any further draining. Would this then be the cause of her malaise?? What then would my next steps be? To repot or not repot. More watering...or not? I really do wish I could post a picture. Cheers!! |

Two Interesting Graphs from EIA
As readers may know, I love graphs, and the Energy Information Administration is good at making them. Here are two particularly interesting ones.
As readers may know, I love graphs, and the Energy Information Administration is good at making them. Here are two particularly interesting ones.
Last week, a Texas district court ruled that Jimmy McAllen could keep his $20 million arbitration award against Forest Oil Corp. This fight goes back to 1992, when Forest Oil gave McAllen used drilling pipe to build animal enclosures on his exotic wildlife ranch, on which McAllen kept rhinoceroses. The pipe had scale that contained radioactive materials, and McAllen claimed that it made the animals ill. McAllen also contracted cancer, which he blamed on the pipe. McAllen also alleged that Forest secretly buried mercury, drilling waste and other radioactive material on his property. McAllen sued Forest in 2005. Forest claimed that McAllen was required to arbitrate the dispute under the terms of a prior settlement agreement between Forest and McAllen arising out of a suit for unpaid royalties. Forest's argument eventually made it to the Texas Supreme Court, which held that the prior settlement agreement was binding on McAllen and required him to arbitrate the dispute. Forest Oil Corp. v. McAllen, 268 S.W.3d 51 (Tex. 2008).
The case then went to an arbitration panel consisting of Houston attorney Daryl Bristow and South Texas attorneys Clayton J. Hoover and Donato D. Ramos. On February 29, 2012, the panel issued a split decision, 2-1, awarding McAllen $21.9 million plus $5 million in attorneys' fees and additional injunctive relief requiring Forest to post a $10 million bond for the life of the lease to assure cleanup of any pollution found on the ranch. In a 40-page dissent, Daryl Bristow said that the panel's award "turn[ed] the law on its ear" and "fabricate[s] a damages number without any principled foundation in the record."
Forest then filed suit to overturn the award. On September 19, Judge Jeff Shadwick, of the 55th District Court in Harris County, denied Forest's motion to overturn the award. The court's order said that "the panel reached its conclusions based on little to no admissible evidence," but that this "is one of the unfortunate hazards of arbitration." "The court is not at liberty to substitute its judgment for that of the arbitrators merely because it would have reached a different decision." Judge Shadwick did overturn the arbitration panel's requirement that Forest post a bond for future cleanup, saying that the panel had no jurisdiction to issue such relief.
Forest is sure to appeal the trial court's decision. It will be in the uncomfortable position of challenging an arbitration award after it fought all the way to the Supreme Court to force the case into arbitration. And so Jimmy McAllen's fight will likely continue for some time to come.
This summer, the Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management issued proposed rules relating to disclosure of the content of frac fluids and handling of frac fluids used in wells drilled on puclic lands managed by the BLM. Last week a group of Congressmen led by Congressman Edward J. Markey, D. Mass., head of the House Natural Resources Committtee, have submitted an extensive letter commenting on the proposed rules.
The letter criticizes BLM's rules for (1) not requiring disclosure of chemicals in frac fluids prior to drilling of a well rather than after the fact, (2) proposing to use FracFocus as the method for disclosure of frac fluids, (3) allowing flowback fluids to be stored in earthen pits, (4) not imposing requirements for proper well construction, cement and casing design and installation, and (5) not establishing minimum setbacks between wells and public buildings to minimize harm from air emissions during well completions.
As I have reported earlier, the Texas Railroad Commission recently published proposed rules tightening regulations on well construction and cementing, as well as more stringent regulation of disposal wells, to better protect against contamination of groundwater.
The Congressmen's comments reveal an interesting problem with use of FracFocus for disclosure of chemicals in frac fluids. FracFocus is a project of the Ground Water Protection Council and the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Several states, including Texas, have required companies to post the contents of their frac fluids on this website. The Congressmen's letter cites a brief done by the Natural Resources Defense Council comparing the disclosure rules of different states and the capability of the FracFocus website to contain all the information required by the state's rules. "[B]ecause the standardized disclosure form of FracFocus contains fields for only a very limited set of information, there is not a single state in which disclosures on the site contain all the information required by the state rule. For example, Texas requires in its state rules that companies report on FracFocus the amount and type of the base fluid used (i.e. fresh water, recycled water, other fluid, etc). However, the form on FracFocus provides no field entry for the base fluid type at all and instead allows only for reporting of the 'Total Vlume of Water'." BLM's proposed rules require disclosure of the type of base fluid and where the fluid was obtained, pump pressures of the fluid and information on the chemical additives, none of which FracFocus can accommodate in its present configuration. In addition, the Congressmen's letter says that the information is posted on FracFocus in pdf format rather than a spreadsheet or database format, so it is practically impossible for a researcher to use the data as an analytical tool to aggregate and analyze the data. "In fact, the terms of use for FracFocus forbid exactly this sort of broad use of the chemical information it contains for analysis, significantly limiting its scientific usefulness and ability to inform future policy decisions." A Department of Energy report on the impact and safety of hydraulic fracturing specifically recommended that FracFocus should be updated so that "information can be searched, sorted and aggregated by chemical, by well, by company and by geography."
The 5th Circuit affirmed a judgment today against Chesapeake Exploration for $19,951,004 in favor of Peak Energy Corporation, for breach of a contract to purchase oil and gas leases in the Haynesville Shale area of Harrison County, Texas. Coe v. Chesapeake Exploration, No. 11-41003. The Court's summary of the case:
In July 2008 Chesapeake Exploration LLC entered into an agreement to purchase deep rights held by Peak Energy Corporation in certain oil and gas leases in the Haynesville Shale formation, for the hefty sum of $15,000 per acre. When the price of natural gas plummeted several months later, Chesapeake refused to honor its commitment. In response to the complaint filed by Peak it contended that the parties' agreement was unenforceable under the Texas statute of frauds, fatally indefinite, and that the plaintiffs had failed to tender performance. The district court disagreed, rendering judgment in favor of Peak and its principals and awarding them damages in the amount of $19,951,004, prejudgment and post-judgment interest, and attorneys' fees and costs. Finding no error, we affirm.
In 2008, gas prices were high and the boom was on in the Haynesville Shale. Chesapeake was buying all of the acreage it could find. Its brokers identified leases covering 5,405 acres in Harrison County, Texas owned by Peak Energy, and on July 2, Chesapeake sent Peak a letter offering to buy all rights in its leases below the base of the Cotton Valley formation for $15,000 per net acre, with Peak delivering a 75% net revenue interest and reserving an overriding royalty on any excess over 75%. A map generated by Chesapeake was attached to the letter agreement showing the tracts Chesapeake had identified in which Peak had leases. The letter said that it was a "valid and binding agreement," and that the closing would occur on August 31. Peak signed and returned the letter.
The parties worked to assemble the list of leases and other closing documents. But in the meantime, the stock market and the gas market plunged precipitously. In October, there had still been no closing of the deal, and Chesapeake informed Peak that it would not be completing the transaction. Peak sued. At trial, Peak said it was able to deliver only 1,645.9 acres of leases with a minimum 75% net revenue interest; it showed that the market value of the deep rights in those leases was $3,000 per acre; and it sought damages equal to $12,000 per acre, based on the difference between the contract price of $15,000 per acre and the market price on the date of the breach, $3,000 per acre. The judge agreed with Peak and awarded the damages sought, plus interest and attorneys fees of more than $435,000.
Chesapeake claimed that the contract was not enforceable because the map attached to the letter agreement did not provide an adequate description of the property. The 5th Circuit disagreed. It said that the map provided an adequate nucleus of description to allow a knowledgeable person to identify the leases with reasonable certainty from public records.
Chesapeake claimed that the contract was not enforceable because it did not include "essential terms." The court said that the letter agreement did provide all of the essential terms - the property to be conveyed, the price, the closing and delivery date, and the purchaser's interest in the property. The court said that the lack of a final lease schedule, and the fact that the parties did not agree on warranty of title, non-compete provisions, and options to purchase additional acreage, were not essential terms fatal to a binding agreement. "Although the parties must agree to all material terms, they may choose to leave non-essential terms open for later negotiatin without rendering the agreement unenforceable."
Finally, Chesapeake claimed that the agreement was not enforceable because Peak could not perform its obligations under the agreement. Peak conceded that it could only deliver 1,645 acres of leases meeting the agreement's specifications. The court said that Chesapeake was bound by the agreement to purchase the leases that Peak could deliver.
It appears to me that Chesapeake did not have any viable defenses to the claim, and that the court clearly reached the correct result. More importantly, the case sheds light on Chesapeake's attitude about its contractual commitments. Others contemplating deals with Chesapeake, especially on buying oil and gas leases, may be reluctant to deal with the company if this case is representative of its willingness to go back on its deals.
The Texas Supreme Court issued two important condemnation cases on the last day of its term, both reversing judgments after jury trials in condemnation suits.
In City of Austin v. Harry M. Whittington, the court resolved the Whittington's ten-year battle with the City over condemnation of a city block adjacent to the City's convention center. The jury found that the City's determination that its condemnation of the property was for a "public use" was fraudulent, in bad faith, and arbitrary and capricious. The Court said that "the Whittingtons do not dispute the underlying facts on these issues; rather, they dispute the legal effect of those facts (e.g., whether those facts amount to fraud, bad faith, or arbitrariness and capriciousness). Because these issues are legal questions, we review them de novo." In other words, the Court held that it was not bound to support the jury's verdict, but could look at the evidence and decide for itself. It decided that the evidence did not show that the City was guilty of fraud, bad faith, or arbitrary or capricious behavior. The City condemned the block for a private developer to build a parking garage for the convention center. Two Justices dissented. (My firm represented the Whittingtons in this case.)
In Enbridge Pipelines (East Texas) L.P. v. Avinger Timber, the jury awarded Avinger $20,955,000 for Enbridge's condemnation of a site owned by Avinger on which a gas processing plant was located. The site was subject to a long-term lease that expired, and when the parties were unable to agree on terms for extension of the lease, Enbridge sued to condemn the property. The issue on appeal was whether the testimony of the valuation experts for Enbridge and Avinger was admissible. The Court held that both experts' testimony was inadmissible and remanded the case to the trial court for a new trial. The Court held that the landowner's appraiser violated the "value-to-the-taker" rule--meaning that he impermissibly took into account the unique value of the land to the condemning gas processing company (as opposed to considering the value to a hypothetical willing buyer, as the law requires). In particular, the appraiser had taken into account the cost to the company of removing the plant on the land if it were sold; the Court held that the appraiser should not have factored in those costs because that was a cost unique to the condemnor and not one that impacted the value of the land to a potential buyer.
But on the other hand, the Court ruled that the condemnor's appraiser was wrong to value the property as rural, unimproved land, ignoring the pipeline infrastructure that had built up over the years and the current suitability of the property for use as a gas-processing facility.
Add these to the list of cases in which the Court has reversed judgments in favor of landowners. See Samson Lone Star v. Hooks, Shell v. Ross, BP v. Marshall, Exxon v. Emerald.

The Nabaztags move to Karotz' servers
Hello everybody!
This post is for all owners of Nabaztags. As you may already know, the old servers are not working very well. Into the bargain a new bug concerning the informations appeared. In the moment we are about to repair it, by creating free space on the hard drive.
I would now like to explain some details about the planning of your rabbit and his servers. Two things will happen:
1) The server will be renewed. This is the most complicate step, and it is longer as we thought. It is not enough only to reboot the servers. Every day we try new procedures, but we concentrate more on Karotz and his servers, in order to be able to let Nabaztag benefit from the new servers as soon as possible.
2) For that the Nabaztag will be able to benefit from the new Karotz' servers, we will proceed with a relocation. This update will be done in March or April, as soon as the Karotz' servers will be started. In the moment we cannot tell you more about, because we did not yet install the new servers for Karotz.
The host of our servers told us some months ago, that he would wish us to change their place. We asked him to be patient, at least until the release of Karotz, and until the Nabaztags have been moved to the new servers, because this procedure could cause even more problems, that will be very difficult to resolve.
As conclusion one can say, that we are working to maintain the Nabaztags and to make them work better. The move to the new servers, which will take place in the next weeks, will proceed without any problems. I know that this post is not satisfying. So I only want to beg you to believe me, that we are really concerned about the solution of these problems.
Sorry for these inconvenients and thank you for your patience!

what is raspberry pi?
the raspberry pi is fantastic little computer that is capable of doing all sorts of tings,unfortunately it supports only one operating system at a time,in this tutorial we can boot as many Raspberry Pi operating systems as you want
What is Berry Boot?
BerryBoot is a boot management tool for the raspberry pi that makes your experience more crispy in functionality. The benefit of it is that it allows you to boot up as many as Raspberry Pi operating systems off the SD card. the Berry boot configuration toll allows you to download additional Raspberry Pi optimized distributions, current disributions are berrywebserver(Webserver Bundle: Lighttpd+PHP+SQLITE)
Berryterminal(LTSP/Edubuntu thinclient), puppy linux and so on.....
In addition to the distributions included, you can also add your own Linux distributions.
Getting started;configuration....
- after downloading the installer and extracting the contents of it to your SD card, it's time to start the config. Insert the SD card in your Raspberry Pi unit and plug in the power cable to boot it up. You will see boot process and then you'll arrive at the GUI of the configuration wizard
- configure the video output (select overscan based on whether you see or not the green calibration bars at the top and bottom ). Set your connection to Wi-Fi. then set your timezone and keyboard preferences.
- After configuring the network connection, you will be asked to select a disk
- The default is the SD card. If you want to install the distributions to an attached flash or USB HDD, attach it now. Once you see the disk you wish to use ,select it and press the Format button.
- After a minute, you'll be directed into the Add OS menu where you can select the first (of many) operating systems you want to install to your BerryBoot card. After selecting it, press OK to start the installation process.
- Once the image has finished downloading and installing, the BerryBoot menu editor will appear,
- in the menu editor, you can perform a variety of functions. You can add another operating system or remove existing ones and set the default operating system. You can edit the properties of the individual images to change the name and the memory location. You can replicate the operating system. You can backup the entire SD card or individual operating system installs to an external storage device.
- All those features are really awesome, what we're most interested in now is adding an additional operating system. Click Add OS. This will return you to the Add OS menu we were in just a moment ago—we're going to add OpenELEC to our BerryBoot system now. Make your selection and hit OK.When the installation of the second operating system image is complete, you can then select the one you wish to be the default and click the Make default button. We're opting to make Raspbian our default operating system:
- Now, we're ready to exit the editor and try the multiboot process. click on the Exit button on the menu bar. A moment later you will be directed back to the main BerryBoot menu poof ! done now install multiple boots and use
Note:If you set a default operating system, it will be automatically
counting down to boot it. If you didn't, it will be idle, for you to select
which operating system you want to boot into. The default timeout for the boot
menu selection is 10 seconds.

My sump pump drain pipe has two opening. The first one is located right next to the foundation wall as you can see from the picture. Yesterday it was raining a lot and I saw a lot of water gushing out of this opening. About the other 30% were flowing into the the lower opening. Why does someone put PVC wye on the draingage pipe? I think some water will return back sump pit if the water discharge thru the first opening. My pump was running every few minutes yesterday. Can I just cap it off? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd cap it off. |
" Why does someone put PVC wye on the drainage pipe?" In case the longer main line is clogged, and it sounds like your might be partially clogged or the pipe was undersized to start with. |
Also if the wye is installed as per your drawing the wye is installed backward. |

I've been reading the forums since late last summer, and have learned a lot from the regulars. I am in Easton, PA (eastern), along the NJ border and my lawn is a mix of KBG with perhaps fine Rye mixed in. The problem appears to be with the non-kbg sections.
Last fall I applied Urea which was 46% nitrogen as my last feeding. The application was timed when the top growth stopped and the grass was still very green. Come spring, the grass awoke nicely. I didn't fertilize too early as I wanted the lawn to awaken on its own. On about May 10th, I fertilized with soybean meal at about 15lbs per thousand square feet. On memorial day weekend, I put down cracked corn at about 20lbs per thousand square feet. Over the last two weeks I've noticed dead strands of grass mixed in with the live green grass. When you look close, perhaps 10-20% of the blades are brown (as in not receiving enough water), while the others are green. From what I've read, this may be a fungus caused by too much nitrogen. Can this be correct? I didn't think I could do damage with organics, but if this is true, then perhaps this was self inflicted. If this is a fungus, then I will treat with cormeal15lbs per thousand square feet.. Any help or feedback is greatly appreciated. Regards, Gordon |
Follow-Up Postings:
Too much fertilizer, especially if hot, humid or watered improperly can increase fungus issues. In the past I have fertilized just once in the spring for that reason. I don't think it is caused by the organic choice. It might have even helped it from being worse with the amount of overall nitrogen you put out. Once it gets going its tough to stop until cool weather arrives. Using corn meal as your spring fertilizer might help prevent it. Whehter applying it now, if you already have too much fertilizer/nitrogen down is a tougher question. Like I suggested above, once I've gotten it going in the hot months, nothing really helped with stopping it. I've tried corm meal, I've tried fungicides (ugh). And, I've done nothing. Same results for me either way. |
The above is correct. Too much nitrogen doesn't *cause* fungus but it tilts the soil balance in the pathogen's favor for a variety of reasons. If the conditions that favor a particular fungus are present then over fertilized grass is more likely to have an issue. |

The grains are protein not nitrogen in the sense of chemical fertilizer (at least that is what dchall would tell us - and I believed him). That being the case nitrogen should not be a cause. I assume your urea last fall was about 1#/1000 which should be just right. The cracked corn will offer the same anti-fungal properties as the corn meal just longer to break down and get going. I would tend to say you are fighting the same problem I am which is the late evening thunderstorms and warm humid nights mixed with varying temperatures. I think it is the night rains causing a fungus this year. Is this your first year with grains? Did you put out any chemical herbicides (dimension or such) this spring? Did you have a poa annua attack this year - mine is dying out big time now? Sometimes I wonder if it is the lack of nitrogen direct to the grass that causes some problems. |
- Posted by gordon_gardener (My Page) on Tue, Jun 24, 08 at 8:58
Thanks for the follow ups. My soil test last year indicated that I was severely lacking in fertilizers, which is when I decided to follow the organics routine many of you have been following. So this was the first year on organics. Having said that, I did put down a crabgrass preventer (containing no fertilizer) earlier this spring. Soccer dad, the urea was 1#/1000 (measured for 1# of nitrogen, not 1# of urea). As repsects Poa, I'm still a bit weak in identifying it for sure. There are times that I see a spot that I think may be poa, but these spots have not yet died off, so perhaps they are not poa.. As always...I appreciate the feedback. Regards, Gordon |

Peyton And Eli Manning Music Video, Football On Your Phone [Video]

Men's Products You'll Like, Too
My husband, kids and I live in tight quarters. It is a New York City apartment, after all. I'm not complaining. I love the city and am willing to sacrifice space. But in light of our space issues, I can't horde. Especially not in the bathroom, which is itsy bitsy. So I share a lot of my husband's beauty products. Here are some manly goods I recommend—should you want to consolidate with your significant other or simply check them out:
• Aveda Men Pure-formance Grooming Clay, $23. This clear paste adds texture to ends and keeps frizzy bits from popping up. A little goes a long way. The fresh earthy scent is sublime.
• Gillette Mach3 Razor, around $7, depending on the drugstore. The heft of this razor feels good in my small lady hands. It keeps me from pushing down too hard and nicking myself.
• Dior Homme by Christian Dior, $62. Ok, so he doesn't actually wear this one, but I do. It has amber, vetiver, and lavender. And may have been made for a man, but it's perfect for this woman.
• Edge Gel, around $2 at drugstores. Couple this with my, I mean his, Mach3 and you have a recipe for the smoothest legs ever.

WASHINGTON, August 28, 2013 — America is the greatest country in the world for welcoming those from other cultures to live and assimilate into American society. However, assimilation does not mean tossing aside one's native culture. America offers the freedom to express one's culture, religion and traditions but not to impose them on a well-established culture known as the American culture, born by our forefathers centuries ago.
America is a nation of immigrants, yes, but historically, immigrants have assimilated into American culture successfully. For example, the then rejected Irish and Italians from the turn of the 20th century are now unsegregated and maintain their pride and practice of culture freely.
In the 50 years since Martin Luther King Jr. famous "I Have a Dream" speech, this nation has come a long, long hard fought and relatively successful distance from 1963, and assimilation was and is key.
This means assimilation into the American culture by all peoples. We must melt in the same pot.
King spoke "There will be no rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted finally granted citizenship rights." Those rights were granted not long after King's death.
In that year of his 'Dream' speech,1963, black Americans had no rights to speak of. Blacks had separate water fountains, rest rooms, little job opportunities and no chance for advancement. Today, a short 50 years later and 48 years after such rights were achieved, America has a black president, Supreme Court judge, senators, congressman/congresswoman, judges, lawyers, doctors etc. These achievements are a testament to American assimilation and dedication to equality.
SEE RELATED: 50 years after MLK, the sociological absurdity of assimilation
Martin Luther King Jr. did not specify when his dream would be fulfilled but it has succeeded to the extent no other country would work so hard to fulfill. In his speech he declared "The Negro is still not free" Freedom and equal civil rights came two years after his speech.
Today, no one speaks so much of the Emancipation Proclamation but speaks of job opportunities, living in choice neighborhoods, purchasing whatever they wish and living in the cascading waters of freedom that were ripples of potential just 50 years ago.
Does this mean racism does not exist? Racism does exist, but why? Many psychologists will say it is not so much a culture, race or religion that scares some folks but one singular word that brings forth misunderstanding and that word is difference. The unknown scares people and people are foreigners to that which is foreign to them. People tend to react with fear and defensive posturing.
King spoke of the "Manacles of segregation" but now those manacles are broken. Yet restraints from racism still exists in many ways.
However, with each passing generation, racism becomes less acceptable. Those who today practice racism are rapidly being ostracized from society. Even those who practiced racism in the 60's via violence are still today being prosecuted and sentenced for their crimes.
What other country does this? What other country has a Statue of Liberty to welcome other cultures? All this country asks is for everyone to behave and observe law and order. The rest is up to those who take freedom as granted, not a given.
History has shown that when assimilation is successful, the fear factor is reduced and what was foreign becomes known, expected and in most cases, accepted. At this point, assimilation rears it's pretty head.
In America's history, millions have given their lives to protect the culture of America and in recent wars and war-like events, those who perish or are afflicted by the horror of battle have names that are not American in source. Tombstones and medical charts read with names such as Martinez, Trevino, Jung, Wong and so forth. These names are also a testament to American assimilation.
Many come to America for freedoms and opportunities not offered in their place of origin and are, by law and moral right, allowed to practice their own culture without imposing on the culture and beliefs of others creating what is known as a 'melting pot' or a potpourri of humanity.
Unlike other countries such as Nigeria that has 250 different cultures in and out fighting one another resulting in an existence of violence and corrupt government, America strives to create the melting pot society by teaching English to those who do not understand it or speak it and offering classes and workshops to help with successful assimilation.
Our Pledge of Allegiance' claims "Freedom and justice for all" as an ideology, not law and will take more passing of generations to achieve. Not all cultures are antagonistic to Western culture but those that are need not apply.
Those who claim allegiance to the American system when they are awarded citizenship should have truly embraced the promises America offers yet be free to maintain their own culture in a non-intrusive fashion and be proud to be what they came here to be-American.
America offers freedom of speech to discuss, discourse, opine and resolve not to incite intrusion and violence and this requires assimilation to eliminate differences, bring together cultural traditions and racial indifference with the realization that folks all wish for the same: to live free, to achieve their best and provide for their loved ones. America is the best country on the globe to live in and achieve these goals via work and education.
Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud of the levels of achievement his efforts and dreams helped create as people from within America and those who come here for whatever reason such as freedom, better levels of living or education, will be accepted into American mainstream via assimilation.
This is one of our nation's greatest humanitarian achievements; acceptance of others to strive freely for their personal goals.
Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud of the result of his dream of America. Besides, where else in the world can you buy a real cowboy hat and watch Country Music Television with black country musicians to boot?
One must think Dr. King would get a most approving chuckle at these turn of events.

Public Health News Roundup: July 15
Gulf States Partner with East, Midwest States to Share Health Records After Disasters
Four Gulf Coast states have partnered with six East and Midwest states to help ensure that patients and providers have access to health records in the event of hurricanes or other major disasters, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In concert with the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, health information exchange (HIE) programs in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin and West Virginia will share information on residents forced to move from their homes because of a disaster. "Through disasters like Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy and large tornadoes in Alabama and Joplin, Missouri, in 2011 and more recently in Moore, Oklahoma, we have learned the importance of protecting patients' health records through electronic tools like health information exchanges," said Farzad Mostashari, MD, national coordinator for health IT. "Patients are better off when states and health information exchange organizations work together to ensure that health information can follow patients when they need it the most."

Physical Punishment of Kids Tied to Obesity, Other Adult Health Problems
Obesity and other health problems are more likely in children who are punished through violence such as pushing, shoving and slapping, according to a study in the journal Pediatrics. Previous studies have also connected violent discipline with negative mental health outcomes. Researchers found that people who were punished physically "sometimes"—without more extreme physical or emotional abuse—were 25 percent more likely to have arthritis and 28 percent more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease. About 31 percent of those punished physically were obese; about 26 who were not punished physically were obese. "Changes in sleep, risk-taking behaviors, immune functioning and regulation of stress hormones that result from chronic or intense stress may be important factors," said Michele Knox, a psychiatrist who studies family and youth violence at the University of Toledo College of Medicine, who was not involved in the study. "If we want what's best for our children, we need to choose discipline that does not come with these risks." Read more on violence.
Putting Off Retirement May Also Help Put Off Alzheimer's
Staying longer in the workforce may help decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research looking at more than 429,000 workers in France. It found a 3 percent reduction in risk for each extra year at the age of retirement. The study is to be presented today at an Alzheimer's Association conference in Boston. About 5.2 million U.S. adults live with Alzheimer's and it is the country's sixth-leading cause of death. "There's increasing evidence that lifestyle factors such as exercise, mental activities, social engagement, positive outlook and a heart-healthy diet may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia," said James Galvin, MD, director of the Pearl Barlow Center for Memory Evaluation and Treatment at the NYU Langone School of Medicine, who was not involved with the research. "Now we can add staying in the workforce to this list of potential protective factors." About one-third of U.S. adults earning less than $100,000 annually said they would need to work until the age of 80 to retire comfortably, according to a 2012 Wells Fargo survey of 1,000 Americans.

(Best Syndication News) - A study from the University of Chicago found that anxiety experienced doing math can cause a person to feel physical pain. The researchers found that the brain areas that register a threat of bodily harm, and in some instances physical pain, are activated when people are stressed over math problems.
Sian Beilock, professor of psychology at the University of Chicago, said that the brain response of a person suffering from math anxiety is similar to someone feeling physical pain. Sian said that the pain could be similar to a burning sensation experienced on a stove.
Doing the math problem was not the source of the response; it was the anxiety caused by the math problem.
The researchers studied 14 adults and their brain response to a series of math questions. An fMRI machine was used to measure the brain activity of the participants during these questions. Participants were asked to verify if a math equation, such as (12 x 4) – 19 = 29, was correct. They were also given short word puzzles to solve, such as unscrambling mixed up letters to form the correct word.
The participants with the most math anxiety had activation in the posterior insula that is related to feelings of direct bodily harm and feelings of pain.
The study, "When Math Hurts: Math Anxiety Predicts Pain Network Activation in Anticipation of Doing Math," is published in the current issue of PlOS One.

TRIBUTE TO Ugo Tognazzi: The documentary film portrait of my father During the Rome Film Festival will premiere the documentary Portrait of My Father, signed by the daughter of Ugo Tognazzi (Maria Sole Tognazzi), produced by 'Ascent Films Matteo Rovere. The documentary film portrait of my father is a portrait of Ugo Tognazzi built not only through the memories of his daughter Maria Sole Tognazzi, but also with interviews with his co-workers (as Monicelli Scola, Michel Piccoli, Laura Morante and Valeria Golino ) and their children Ricky, Gianmarco Tognazzi and Thomas. In the documentary film Portrait of my Father there are also unusual: actual records of family life, social and working on the set of Ugo Tognazzi. The screening of the documentary film Portrait of My Father at Rome Film Festival 2010 will also be accompanied by a meeting dedicated to the figure of Ugo Tognazzi in involving the family and many of the actors who worked with him THE FATHER AND THE FOREIGN FILM (Alessandro Gassman and Ksenia Rappoport): Ricky Tognazzi THE NEW FILM THE FILM FESTIVAL OF ROME in 2010 In addition to 'homage to Ugo Tognazzi, the Rome Film Festival 2010 will screen the new film also Ricky Tognazzi: The father and the Stranger, based on the novel by Giancarlo De Cataldo and played by Alessandro Gassman and Ksenia Rappoport. The plot of the film's father and the Stranger has a rich history, produced by Grazia Volpi Ager3 and RaiCinema, it touches on the difficulties of being both foreign and fathers of young offenders in an intolerant world. The film's father and the Stranger takes place just in a chaotic Rome, Teatro dell 'meeting between the protagonists of the film: two fathers, an Arab and an Italian who share a pain. The force unleashed by 'friendship forms between the two is the' antidote to suffering and it is also an opportunity for growth for both. For more information: www.romacinemafest.org |

When your hear the word watershed you might suspect that it is a small building that stores water. Actually, a watershed is the area of land where all of the water that falls onto that land drains, or "sheds" into a waterbody like a stream, river, lake, pond or wetland. Dogs and cats shed their fur, snakes shed their skin, and trees shed their leaves. In a watershed, the land sheds water.
Every waterbody has a watershed and every piece of land is part of a watershed. Therefore you live in a watershed. In fact, everyone lives in a watershed.
Land is very important to the water cycle. When water travels over land, gravity causes the water to move downhill. Watersheds are defined by the shape of the land (topography). The edges of a watershed, or the watershed boundaries, are found at higher elevations like ridgelines and mountain tops. The waterbody (lake, river, stream, etc.) of the watershed is found at lower elevations, often where the land flattens out.
So imagine that a watershed is like a giant bathtub, where the drain is the river, lake, or stream. The high sides, or edges, of the bathtub are like a watershed boundary (the tops of mountains and hills) and any water that falls inside the tub (watershed) will eventually go down the drain (river) carrying dirt and soap with it. Any water that falls outside of the tub will fall into another watershed and drain into a different waterbody.
We need water to survive. We don't just drink water; we are water. Water makes up approximately 70% of our weight and in other living organisms makes up approximately 50-90% of their weight. It is one of the most abundant and important substances on Earth.

I couldn't do without this 5 years ago. I ran out once and spent days looking for a store that sold it. Well 5 years later after getting tired of constantly hunting this lip gloss down I turned to cheaper versions, mostly the drug store brand which would basically wear off in 15 minutes and I'd have to spend the day reaplying it constantly, and my lips felt dryer wearing it too. So I searched for MUFE and luckily it's sold in Sephora now AND theres a few more colors to choose from. The only difference is that now the tube is half the size for MORE than it used to cost. Grr. On top fof theat they've made it so thick that yu can no longer apply it easily and it marblizes on your lips. It just doesn't spread even like the old version. IThe pigment is great though. Other than that I have a new drug store lip gloss that works just like this one used to for just $2.
My favorite glosses! Yes, they are thick, but staying power is excellent! #21 is a little brighter than MAC Freckletone and looks great with dark eyes and peachy blushes. This looks like the color everyone in Hollywood is wearing now.
If you hate sticky lip glosses like Lipglass, you have to try MUFE lip glosses. It felt comfortable on lips yet glassy enough instead of watery, but unfortunately it doesn't last as long as Lipglass. And while I hate the smell of the other MUFE lip products (lipstick, liquid lip colour), I love this one, sort of like framboise syrup.
Super Lip Gloss No.21 Iridescent Orange Beige is milky orangey peach with no shimmers on tube. On lips it turns to be a peach-pink color, perfect to use with coppery-bronze eyeshadows and Nars Orgasm-type of blushes.

- Serial killing suspect Naso says he defines 'rape' as romance
After a seven-week screening process involving thousands of prospects, selection of a 12-person jury was completed Wednesday for an alleged serial killer heading to trial next week in Marin Superior Court.
Joseph Naso, 79, who is acting as his own lawyer, personally questioned many of the jury prospects to gauge their feelings about the case. Many expressed revulsion at both the crimes and him personally.
"I don't like you," one man said this week.
Some prospects said they were uneasy that Naso is representing himself against the most serious charges possible. Others said they would be unwilling to vote for the death penalty, which prosecutors are seeking.
Naso, a retired commercial photographer, is charged with murdering Roxene Roggasch, 18, who was dumped west of Fairfax in 1977; Carmen Colon, 22, found near Port Costa in 1978; Pamela Parsons, 38, found in Yuba County in 1993; and Tracy Tafoya, 31, found in Yuba County in 1994.
Investigators said semen on Roggasch's pantyhose matched Naso's DNA profile, and that Roggasch was strangled with panty hose that contained the DNA of Naso's wife. He also had extensive photos of Parsons in his collection, and admitted he dated Tafoya.
Naso was identified as the suspect after a 2010 probation search at his Reno home revealed a vast collection of photographs of dead or unconscious women in various states of undress, incriminating writings and sadistic magazines, investigators said. Naso has said that the photos are his private artwork and that the women are in staged poses.
The alleged evidence also includes what investigators described as Naso's "rape journal," a diary that appears to document the rapes of various women. In January, during his preliminary hearing, Naso said he considered the word "rape" to have a meaning more akin to romance.
"The phrase 'rape' refers to, in my culture, as making out," he said. "Scoring. Getting from first base to second base."
Although Naso insisted on being his own lawyer, he has limited assistance from an advisory counsel, Deputy Public Defender Pedro Oliveros.
Initial jury screening began in April. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday before Judge Andrew Sweet, and the trial is expected to last about five months.
Authorities are still investigating whether Naso can be linked to additional homicides.
