By contrast, Politico's Tim Mak filed a story that violates all of the best practices described above. The story was given a straight news headline ("Joe Arpaio on Obama's birth certificate: It may be fake") and lede ("Arpaio said Thursday that his investigation has found there is reason to believe that President Barack Obama's birth certificate, released by the White House last year, was a forgery") that are likely to increase the familiarity and accessibility of birther claims among readers. Only at the end of his story does Mak bother to acknowledge the DOJ report into Arpaio's practices and the fact that birther claims have been "widely debunked." (Mak did not respond to CJR's email request for comment).
Ultimately, journalists have to exercise their judgment in deciding when to cover misleading claims. The burden of proof should be placed on those who would provide coverage. Why, for instance, should reporters outside Arizona cover Arpaio's nonsense? What public interest is served by doing so? In the cases in which reporters do feel obliged to provide coverage, it is vital that they not act as stenographers, like Politico's Mak did, for the public officials who are promoting misinformation. When the weight of the evidence is overwhelming in favor of a given fact, any news report on claims to the contrary should emphasize the larger factual context while minimizing the repetition of potentially misleading claims. Covering the self-proclaimed world's toughest sheriff without misleading readers shouldn't be so tough.

A slight change of plans for Flying Bison's proposed headquarters and tasting room at 840 Seneca Street. According to Business First, a revised proposal has been sent to the Buffalo Planning Board. Instead of refurbishing the existing structure, Flying Bison wants to raze the building and construct a new facility at the same location. A modification of plans is in the works for Northtown. The automobile dealership has submitted a development proposal to the Amherst Planning Board that details an effort to construct a Subaru-only series of buildings. Northtown Subaru on Sheridan Drive currently shares space with a Hyundai sales center. The plan is to convert a former Sheridan Drive bowling alley property and adjoining building into the Subaru campus. UB doesn't have the funding for it, but a long-term plan involving football stadium improvements has been unveiled. The "UB Athletics Facilities Master Plan" also envisions separate soccer and baseball stadiums near the football field. A $50 million price tag has been put on the collective projects.

Teach Preschool
We are highlighting some of the best winter posts shared in the latest Discover and Explore linky!
We found a way to make a gingerbread house with candy and all and the best part is, even my youngest preschoolers could do it all by themselves!
Gingerbread is such a fun theme to explore during the winter time. There are so many fun books to share with the children and of course, there are the gingerbread cookies and gingerbread houses… To kick off our Gingerbread unit, we read the story "The Gingerbread Loose in the School" by Laura Murray. This is […]
Our class was recently invited to join in on a Gingerbread Man exchange. Come and see our exciting adventure with the Gingerbread Man exchange!
Perhaps you are one of the many who are in the process of taking down the Christmas tree. Well don't be too quick to think Christmas has to be completely over yet!
An early childhood teacher's rendition of "My Favorite Things" from "The Sound of Music."
Now that I have some time at home with my grandsons, we took out a few marbles and our Christmas balls for a little creativity and play.
The Mitten is one of our favorite winter stories to share with our preschool children. Today I'm sharing a few activities to go along with the book.
A fun book and simple activity to get you talking about your sense of smell during the Christmas season.
More indoor large motor activities shared by our blogging friends on the Discover and Explore linky.
Hang onto those holiday bows and you have what you need for two simple but great games to get kids moving!
Winter has come early for us and we are embracing the snow with fun indoor and outdoor activities!
To capture the essence of winter, my students created their very own winter in a bottle and turned it into an ornament as one of our parent gifts this year.
Promoting the spirit of giving along with writing skills and fine motor skills with our Christmas writing station in preschool!
As winter draws near, it is a good idea to begin planning for colder weather activities. We have 10 fun and simple snowmen activities to share.

Make over your phone's home screen with Go Launcher EX
Customize your Android device's home screen and turn it into something more functional, aesthetically appealing, and creative.
Go Launcher EX is an inventive app that you can use to customize your Android home screen into something unique.
After you install the Go Launcher EX app, you'll have the choice to use its own launcher interface or the default launch screen for Android. You can switch between these two options by clicking on the home link. The app's interface is quite rich in controls. The main menu is divided into three categories, Main, Plugins, and More, under which there are different options and features such as Go Widget, AppCenter, Preferences, Wallpaper, Themes, and Go Store. You can use the app to organize and customize the home screen with themes, different icon arrangements, and widgets, for a balance between style and function.
Installing this app didn't lead to lag for us, even on Android devices with low-clock-frequency single-core CPUs. Even though this app holds a large free library of different themes and widgets, the only downside perhaps is that you might have to purchase some of the themes and widgets in order to realize its full potential and beauty.
Go Launcher EX is perfect for people who are getting a bit tired of seeing the same old Android launch interface.

8 Icons Kanye West Has Compared Himself To
What Yeezy Said: "If Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, 'This is wrong'" -New York Times, June 2013
What We Say: If Kanye is Jordan, then what is Jay? It may be premature to compare himself to the greatest basketball player of all time, when you have others who've been in the game longer and scoring big shots (see Jay-Z's Barclays Center + Roc Nation Sports deal) Maybe he can be Scottie Pippen?

Gary Franklin (resigned 4/1/2014)
Board President and Precinct 2 Director
Director Profile:
What brought you into the environmental and groundwater resources management world?
I have been involved in this field since college with both my academic and professional pursuits. My first post-graduate job was working as a Chemist at an Applied Environmental Research Institute that studied the Environmental Impact of pollutants. After completing my graduate degree, I came to Austin and worked toward Water Quality assessment of groundwaters in aquifers across Texas. I gave up the travel for a desk job at an Environmental Laboratory to field samples for analysis.
What would you like to see the District accomplish in the next 5 to 10 years?
The District is on track to establish a Managed Available Groundwater (MAG) in the next few years that will correlate the quantity of water that can be pumped from the aquifer to meet our desired future condition (DFC) of maintaining flow at Barton Spring during the next big drought.
What do you see as the biggest challenge for the District?
Issues about Water are often polarized where the biggest challenge is to find common ground between the developmental and environmental communities while maintaining the mission of the District. The biggest challenge is attempting to maintain adequate water supplies for all users from a finite source while meeting the demands of rapid population increase that also brings both increased water demand and threats from urbanization.
How do you and your family conserve water?
Appliances - Both the front-loading washing machine and dishwasher are Energy Star rated.
Toilets - are low-flow dual flush option for additional water savings.
Native Landscaping - Our neighbors were horrified when I rented a sod cutter to remove the turf grass, but they were surprised to see that native drought tolerant plants can be quite attractive.
What would people be surprised to learn about you (you choose whether that is professionally or personally)?
I spend considerable time visiting caves in Texas and Mexico. Underground exploration links my knowledge of geologic and hydrologic systems to the applications that I have studied since college.
Other Information
- I moved to Kellywood Estates in South Austin after getting married in 1999. My wife Melinda, a dog, some rabbits, and a group of resident turtles.
- Degrees – All from Tarleton State University: B.S. Biology, B.S. Chemistry, and a M.S. Environmental Science

In the world-unto-itself otherwise known as Hollywood, Tobey Maguire is unavoidable. He's the topic of conversation during drinks at the Four Seasons (''Can you believe that he fired his longtime agent?'' shudders a rival talent rep). He's on everyone's lips over dinner at a chichi restaurant in Beverly Hills (''I hear Sony isn't giving him his $17 million for Spider-Man 2 until he's done filming,'' whispers one studio executive. ''He's getting scale until the last day. And anything over budget is on his head''). Even a nondrinking, non-eating health nut has something to say about him (''He's no vegan, he just pretends to be'').
If you're focusing on the details of the chatter about Maguire, you're missing the point. It's not what people are saying about him, but rather the intensity with which they're saying it. After all, this is a place so small that switching zip codes merits a farewell party, and Maguire has made a far more dramatic move. In the summer of 2002, he migrated from critics' darling in such movies as The Cider House Rules, Wonder Boys, and The Ice Storm to gargantuan movie star, thanks to a little blockbuster called Spider-Man.
This summer, Maguire has traded in his slinky superhero suit for a set of racing silks to star as real-life jockey Red Pollard in the Gary Ross-directed Seabiscuit. Adapted from Laura Hillenbrand's best-selling book about the thoroughbred champion, the $86 million movie, opening July 25, is clearly designed more for Oscar voters than popcorn munchers. But in a season filled with second-rate sequels and oversize comic-book heroes, Universal's Depression-era drama could end up being that rarest of pleasures: a serious summer flick that rakes it in at the box office. Which would make Maguire, once again, the summer superhero.
Of course you want the details. So let's get back to those rumors, which for the most part are, sorry to say, false. Maguire is getting paid (to the tune of $12 million for Seabiscuit and $17 million for the Spider-Man sequel). And he's a vegetarian, not a vegan -- as evidenced by the dairy-filled latte accompanying the late lunch he's scarfing down at his Beverly Hills production office.
''Would you like a corn dog?'' the 28-year-old actor asks politely, offering up a tofu puppy. ''You might want to try one. They're very tasty.'' Okay, so it's a glutinous take on the real thing, but it's good to see Maguire eating. Despite intense bulking up for Spider-Man 2, which he's currently filming, and intense portioning down for Seabiscuit (for which he shed about 20 pounds), Maguire has yet to break out of his amorphous adolescent build. Seated behind a giant desk in a looming black leather chair, the 5-foot-8-inch actor looks like he's hanging out on a set from Big. With his flawless manners and slightly gargled speech, he sounds like he's conducting an interview while scuba diving. The grand effect is that this yoga-practicing, teetotaling, meat-eschewing actor is...kind of a dork.

Religious Freedom Restoration Act
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 (RFRA) is a federal law that protects religious freedom from federal government action. It prohibits the federal government from making laws or rules that substantially burden religious freedom, even if those laws or rules apply to all people without exception. According to RFRA, federal laws and rules that substantially burden religious freedom will be invalid unless they:
(1) are in furtherance of a compelling government interest, and
(2) they are the least restrictive means possible of furthering that compelling interest.
RFRA is a broad law, and protects numerous forms of religious expression. For example, say the federal government wanted to grant a mining lease to a private company, but granting that lease would result in the complete destruction of a Native-American burial ground integral to a tribe's religious worship. RFRA would likely apply because the destruction of that burial ground would substantially burden the religious worship of the Native-American tribe. Likewise, if the federal government prohibited its employees from praying while they are at work, that rule might well violate RFRA.
Ultimately, RFRA is one of the most useful tools in helping fight against federal government intrusion into people's religious freedom.
Has the Federal Government Denied Your Religious Freedom? If So, Contact Brown Law.
If the federal government has denied or substantially burdened your religious freedom, call Brown Law at 801.685.9999 or 800.299.1016. We can help protect your right to freely exercise your religion.

Partagas Black Label Cigars
Partagas Black Label
Partagas Black can be considered a "new age" Partagas cigar, blended during the beginning of the full-bodied era to satisfy smokers who would become this generation of serious strength junkies. Blended by Benji Menendez and friends and made in the Dominican Republic, Partagas Black is a gorgeous cigar made with a very heavy blend of ligero fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The binder is a hearty Dominican leaf and the wrapper is an absolutely pitch-black Medio Tiempo Connecticut broadleaf oscuro leaf which undergoes about 50% more aging than most other harvested leaves. The result is a bold, sweet, absolutely unforgettable smoking experience.
The ultra oily stick burns sharply and evenly, giving off powerful bursts of white pepper and rich espresso flavors. There is very notable sweetness all the way through and a lingering, very pronounced dose of cocoa on the finish. It's classic maduro flavor with added intensity and sweetness. The Partagas Black is not for the faint of heart. It was one of the pioneering powerhouse cigars and remains one of the heaviest sticks on the market today. Pair it with coffee or port wine and never smoke it on an empty stomach. Comparable cigars include Casa Magna Oscuro and La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro. If you dare to cross over to the dark side, do so with Partagas Black.

Modern Family Triumph! Prettiest Pretty Girl Ever Gets Cover Girl Makeup Contract
I love Sofia Vergara because when she is not making me laugh (Gloria and Cam compete week-to-week in my head for funniest character on television), she is just so pretty it's like watching the sunset or a waterfall or something. If anyone could convince me to buy more makeup, it's her!
Gloria wore hideous--HIDEOUS--striped tie-dye leggings for her hike with Claire on Mother's Day, and she still looked fantastic. P.S. to cosmetics giants the world over: Sofia Vergara could definitely sell me hair products, too. Right???

Remember Rebecca Martinson, the University of Maryland sorority girl who sent her fellow Delta Gammas a lengthy screed that introduced the world to the term "cunt punt"? Of course you do! Things have worked out well for Rebecca, despite being mocked mercilessly by the internet and being given the boot by her sorority — she's been writing a reliably bitchy column for the dude site Bro Bible and now comes news that she'll be putting pen to paper on her first novel. Ahh, book deals, so hard to come by these days unless you're a horrible waste of space. Martinson is co-writing the book with the creator of the blog White Girl Problems (sounds like a collaboration made in heaven) and it's being shopped around by none other than Tucker Max's agent, so I think we can expect a best seller. Personally, I thought that Martinson's notorious cunt punt email, while nasty as hell, was pretty well-written, funny and had good timing. Which is not to say I approve of this book deal. I just hate it less than others. [Huffington Post]

I have my new Sun garden mostly planted and am now starting to consider the finishing touches.
Since its partially on about a 30% incline, I'm worried that my mulch will slide off. I was considering limestone, like what I have surrounding my house. But I have a wooded lot and would have to wrangle the leaves come fall. This bed will eventually adjoin a woodland bed that is mulched with red cedar mulch. It was suggested to me to try cypress, since it has a quality that it will not slide down an incline. I've never used it.... can anyone share their experience? |

My yard slopes down to the street at 20-30% incline. I use wood chips I get from the city or tree trimming services and haven't had any of the mulch slide into the street, even after heavy rains. HTH |
- Posted by hoghaven_duluthmn (My Page) on Fri, Jun 29, 07 at 11:33
Yes, cypress is a good choice for a mulch on a slope. It is more fibrous and sort of knits together. I used it around a pond area and it did not blow into the pond or erode. I feel it is easier to change your future plantings with a wood mulch rather than rock mulch. Its also softer to walk on when barefoot. The one disadvantage is that it seemed to disappear rather quickly through decomposition and from winter cleanup of the flower beds. The smaller wood chips would work as well. I don't know how cypress and cedar would look where they would join together. I have seen an interesting garden that used various types and colors of mulches in patterns. Of course, the mulch was more of the feature than were the plantings. |

Stranded in E6 country
I took my Rolleiflex to work and used a sunny fall day to go on a little walk through the surroundings of my working place. I asked my lab to cross process these rolls, but they forgot and processed normally. Though I like the intense Astia colours I was a bit dissapointed about the Provia performance. What can you do ...

that's how he "Bagged" the fish
I think he figured out a way to "noodle" without bending over
That's how mermaids are made. You gotta have dem pants off to fuck dat bitch fish.
I'm pretty sure catfish don't have external testicles, but doesn't that look like a set of balls on that fish?
That looks like one hell of a giant tadpole.
Probably the only time his junk has ever smelled like fish
Those are small fins (ventral/anal fins).
I'm sorry but under those huge "balls" is an even larger vagina!

Chicken and Cheese Enchiladas Verdes
Marie Hejl made these easy enchiladas with a Spanish-speaking friend on a bilingual episode of her show, and she occasionally prepares them with her dad, Jim Hejl. Following her Mexican grandmother's recipe, Marie first dips the tortillas in a fresh tomatillo sauce, then fries them in oil. Here, to avoid excessive spattering, the tortillas are first fried in oil and then coated with the tomatillo sauce.

text: The dogged refusal of traditional religions to give up Bronze Age magical thinking and doctrines will continue to make religion increasingly irrelevant in the 21st century. If the church has a future it will be because we are willing to undergo a radical transformation, being more passionate about what is true than what we have read in ancient documents. We need to be connected to one another in order to be effective in changing the world and we need meaningful connection to others to correct our own excesses. We can become better people through working together for justice, peace and mercy.

Can "tired light theory" explain the observed redshifts of galaxies?
I am an adult male who doesn´t know much about astronomy, but would like to learn more. Recently I heard that scientists have discovered evidence that expansion of the universe is speeding up and that this is a very surprising finding. But is it possible that this is not surprising at all. I read about a year ago of an old theory that the red shift that is used to justify the idea that the galaxies are moving away from each other has another possible explanation that is even older, known as the tired light theory. Doesn´t this new finding support this old theory, and if not why not?
There are many problems with the tired light theory, the main one being that there is no known way for photon's to lose energy (without also changing in other observable ways) that is not equivalent to the universe expanding and the photons expanding with it. The main argument against conventional cosmology (in which the universe is homogeneously expanding) and for tired light theory seems to be that if the universe were expanding then we (and all of our measuring sticks) would be expanding along with it so we wouldn't be able to measure it. This is a common misconception. Locally, objects can stop expanding with the universe if the forces holding them together are strong enough. Those forces might be the forces holding the atoms in your body together or the force of gravity holding the stars together in a galaxy. Take a look at the below archived questions on this topic.
The observed accleration of the expansion of the universe was a big surprise to conventional cosmology and we are still working on theories which can include it! They are a little strange sounding, requiring a 'cosmological constant' or 'dark energy', which we don't understand, but the surprising thing is that given this, they predict the growth of structure in our universe and the abundances of elements, and the temperature of the microwave background radiation (among other things) extremely well. With the amount of observational evidence piling up behind them, these theories are looking in good shape.
What an acceleration of the expansion says in tired light theory I have not given much thought to until now. The observation that lead to the conclusion that the expansion was accelerating was that Supernovae appeared to be further away (and therefore dimmer) than expected if the universe was expanding with a constant rate. What I mean by this is that they have a lower redshift than predicted given their distance measured in a different way - so are further away than the redshift suggests. I think that in tired light theory this would have to be interpreted as being due to a non-constant loss of energy by the photons on their way to us. Since there is no know mechanism for photons to loose energy without interacting with other particles (and therefore changing in other observable ways) in a non-expanding universe even in a constant way, how you would find a variable mechanism is anyone's guess!
You might guess that I don't think much of tired light theory. Check out this somewhat technical website about errors in the theory. There's another one here which has some mention of tired light theory.
My main problem with it is that the arguments that say it is needed and the expansion of the universe is the wrong conclusion to draw do not consider all of the available evidence. We don't think that the universe is expanding and started in a 'big bang' just because we observe ALL the galaxies to be moving away from us, there is other very convincing evidence that supports it too. The currently favoured cosmological model explains the formation of structures we observe in the universe, both now and in the distant past. It also explains the temperature of the cosmic microwave background and the amounts of different elements that were formed in the early universe. My only conclusion is that the supporters of tired light theory do not understand that evidence, which is understandable as it has taken real astronomers years of study to become astronomers.
Thank you for your speedy reply. Although I can't say I completely understood it. It is clear that the tired light theory is not based on good science. That leads me to believe that the publication I read in which the tired light theory was defended on two separate occasions over a six month period must have a hidden agenda, much like some religious conservatives that come up with theories to discredit evolution.

Just for comparison: 163 pounds of uranium would have a volume of slightly more than 1 gallon. This is with density 19 g/cm^3 This should put it in perspective: 1 gallon of uranium vs. 29,000,000 gallons of fuel oil. Simply amazing energy density.

Sure this will seem ridiculous to current youth, but when we witnessed the original airings of Sony's Super Walkman commercial, it seemed miraculous:
Industrious mix-tapers could forego the standard 60-minute cassettes and buy mind-blowing 120-minute blanks. That's like, at least 35 songs in your pocket! And it would only take you three, four hours to put it all together.
I'm disappointed they cropped her pants out.
