Marriage and Family: Looking at the Data
Though few social science essays merit the title of "classic," Barbara Dafoe Whitehead's 1993 Atlantic Monthly article "Dan Quayle Was Right" undoubtedly does. The article followed a heated national debate precipitated by a 1992 episode of the popular television series Murphy Brown, in which the lead character, portrayed by Candice Bergen, chose to have a baby without marrying the child's father. The Republican Vice President Dan Quayle sharply criticized the program's implications that single-motherhood was an acceptable, benign alternative to the two-parent family. Quayle, in turn, was silenced with a torrent of media criticism. While most social scientists remained mute, Whitehead's Atlantic cover story grounded this emotional discussion in studies that showed that, in terms of aggregate data, children of two-parent families experienced far fewer problems than those in various alternative family forms. "Dan Quayle Was Right" reoriented public debate and won the Exceptional Merit in Media Award from the National Women's Political Caucus and Radcliffe College.
More recently, Whitehead authored The Divorce Culture: Rethinking Our Commitments to Marriage and Family (Alfred A. Knopf, 1997). She is codirector of Rutgers University's National Marriage Project, which recently published a survey on marriage patterns and attitudes. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.
Barbara Dafoe Whitehead is one of three speakers featured this year in conjunction with CMC's new Berger Institute for the Study of Work, Family, and Children.
Are We Headed For a Green Millennium?
More than 2500 students from across the United States gathered recently at the University of Pennsylvania to spend a weekend participating in workshops designed to help them become effective campus organizers. They attended panel discussions on subjects such as corporate organization, market subsidies, and the effects of the World Trade Organization. They organized into regional caucuses to discuss region specific issues, listened to lectures on shareholder power, global equity, the power of the media and learned everything from how to work with the media to drafting environmental legislation. Ecoconference 2000 brought together environmental activists to help focus their strategy in making the coming century a "green" millennium. The success of this conference is indicative of a new environmentalist movement peopled by activists like Loren Finkelstein, the program director of Free The Planet!, a predominately student-oriented environmental group that focuses on empowering the next generation of environmental leaders in hope of revitalizing the political core of the environmental movement. In the six years that Free the Planet! has existed, it has grown exponentially, with chapters currently maintained at close to 200 schools across the country.
Please join Loren Finkelstein as she discusses the future of the environmental movement in the twenty-first century.
Civic Responsibility and Higher Education
Recent polls and surveys show a sharp decline in civic and political participation among young people. Americans growing up in recent decades vote less often than their elders and show lower levels of social trust and knowledge of politics. On college campuses, political discussion and involvement have dropped precipitously.
What are the roles of higher education in preparing students to be knowledgeable and engaged citizens? What values, knowledge, and skills are needed to enable those students to become responsible citizens?
Thomas Ehrlich, senior scholar at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and distinguished scholar, San Francisco State University, will discuss these issues in light of a multiyear Carnegie Foundation project. Ehrlich is president emeritus of Indiana University, former provost of the University of Pennsylvania, and former dean of Stanford Law School. He is author or editor of eight books, including Civic Responsibility and Higher Education, to be published next year.
Thomas Ehrlich's lecture is part of a series of speakers planned in conjunction with the Teaching Resource Center at CMC.
Science Cooperation, International Security, and Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Former Soviet Union
Throughout the Cold War the Soviet Union maintained a massive infrastructure of scientific institutes and manufacturing facilities to support its arsenals of nuclear and chemical weapons. In addition, a large offensive biological warfare program continued in violation of the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention.
The breakup of the Soviet Union, with the subsequent political turmoil and economic chaos, has created new dangers. Weapons might be lost, stolen, or sold to other governments or terrorists, along with the knowledge of how to make these weapons more lethal. The United States, Japan, the European Union and others have developed numerous programs to prevent the spread of technology and material from the former Soviet Union. Understanding the risks and benefits of such programs helps us understand more clearly the international security implications of the broader globalization of science.
Ronald F. Lehman is the director of the Center for Global Security Research (CGSR) at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and also is chairman of the governing board of the International Science and Technology Center (ISTC), an intergovernmental organization headquartered in Moscow. He has served three Presidents, four Secretaries of State, four Secretaries of Defense, and three National Security Advisors in senior executive and advisory positions. From 1989 to 1993 he was the director of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. Lehman is also chairman of the board of governors of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies at CMC. Lehman's appearance at the Athenaeum is second in the Keck Center's lecture series on nuclear issues.
Making the Grade
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1999 Lunch
How do teachers evaluate students? Is there grade inflation? The Teaching Resource Center at CMC has invited Michael Scriven, professor of psychology at Claremont Graduate University to the address these and other questions of vital interest to students and faculty across the United States.
Scriven took honors degrees in mathematics and the philosophy of mathematical logic at the University of Melbourne and earned his doctorate in philosophy at Oxford. He has taught in the U.S. and Australia, in departments of mathematics, philosophy, psychology, the history and philosophy of science, and education. He has held fellowships at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (Palo Alto), the Center for Advanced Study in Theoretical Psychology (University of Alberta), the Educational Testing Service (Princeton), the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions (Santa Barbara), the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia, the National Science Foundation, and as a Whitehead Fellow at Harvard University. His 330 publications are mainly in the fields of his appointments and in the areas of critical thinking, technology studies, computer studies, and evaluation. He is an ex-President of the American Educational Research Association, the recipient of the American Evaluation Association's Lazarsfeld Medal for contributions to evaluation theory, and since 1998, President of the American Evaluation Association.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. Professor Scriven will speak at 12:15 p.m.
Humor in American Politics: It's Not Funny Anymore ... Is It ?
Monday will be the first time the Athenaeum presents a comedian. It will be a night of firsts. Political satirist Mort Sahl was the first performer on the cover of Time magazine, the first performer to cut a best-selling comedy album and win a Grammy for nonmusical work, and the first to address the National Press Club and Austrian Parliament. He has hosted the Academy Awards and been on television and film more times than anyone can remember.
Sahl broke the comic mold in the 50s. In an era when comedians addressed audiences in three-piece suits, offering maliciously crafted jokes on banal topics, Sahl-with a hip, casual style-poked fun at the politically and socially powerful, using a quick, intimate delivery. He set a new stand-up standard and provided a major influence for comedians-to-be such as Woody Allen, Jay Leno, and Lenny Bruce. Sahl's unique style and content earned him a place among the political elite he so relentlessly satirized.
Sahl has also composed screenplays for Hollywood and published an autobiography, Heartland (1976). He continues to perform today, no longer the only daring voice of political wit, but still one of the best.
Please join us as this pioneer of topical comedy lampoons today's political leaders and fills the Athenaeum with laughter. The dinner is open to the CMC community. All are welcome to the program.
Border Ballad
Ruben Martinez is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, poet, and performer, and an associate editor at Pacific News Service. His published collection of essays and poetry, The Other Side: Fault Lines, Guerrila Saints, and the True Heart of Rock'N'Roll (1992), won widespread critical acclaim, and he has been a guest commentator on NPR's All Things Considered.
Martinez has performed throughout the United States, Britain, and Latin America, combining music and spoken word poetry into powerful messages. He will be performing his new one-man spoken word/musical, Border Ballad, at the Athenaeum. In this piece Martinez tells the story of Latino immigrant and migrant workers using fascinating anecdotes and bicultural music. He tells "the tales of the New Frontier, which gave rise to a new border mythology ... one in which both 'foreigner' and 'native' are transformed." His character, described as "equal parts of Johnny Cash and Los Tigres del Norte," is a composite formed of a profusion of illegal immigrant experiences and stories. In the eye of his character Mexican ballads will become blues, and blues will become nortenas.
Martinez lectures for Chicano Studies at UC Santa Barbara and he delivered an address at the Gould Center for the Humanities Seminar at CMC. In addition to the Emmy, he received a Freedom of Information Award from the ACLU and the Greater Los Angeles Press Club Award of Excellence for coverage of the Rodney King beating investigation and its aftermath.
Martinez will be teaching a course on literary journalism at CMC spring semester. Please join us as this accomplished journalist and artist performs his latest most interesting work.
Current Environmental Issues in Public Health
The keynote speaker for the November 17th meeting of the Scientific Review Panel is Professor John R. Froines, director of the UCLA Center for Occupational and Environmental Health. Froines has an extensive background in chemistry and toxicology, and has served on a number of boards concerned with both human and environmental health.
Froines received his B.S. in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley in 1963 and his Ph.D. in physical-organic chemistry from Yale in 1966. After completing his postdoctoral work with Nobel Laureate Sir George Porter, Froines began to focus on occupational and environmental health issues. From 1974-1977 he served as the director of the Occupational and Radiological Health Division of the Vermont Department of Health. In 1979 Froines moved to the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, where he served as deputy director. After serving on a number of scientific boards on health and environmental issues, he returned to academics in 1981 as a professor at the UCLA School of Public Health. He has served as chair of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences for the past eight years. As an academic, Froines has also been able to develop his own research and is currently studying the health effects of airborne particulate matter and the biochemical mechanism that causes the carcinogenic effects of toxic air contaminants. Dr. Froines joins us as the chairman of California's Scientific Review Panel. The public is cordially invited to attend this all-day Athenaeum event beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the Security Pacific Room.
Public Meeting, 9:00 a.m., Security Pacific Room
The Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants confronts a wide variety of environmental health issues facing society today including exposure to many toxic air contaminants which are emitted from motor vehicles, from stationary industrial facilities, or from other sources such as pesticide applications. The Scientific Review Panel advises the California Air Resources Board, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, and the Department of Pesticide Regulation on the scientific adequacy of health risk assessments they prepare in the process of identifying substances as toxic air contaminants.
The panel is responsible for the independent, technical peer review of health risk assessments which detail the risk of adverse effects on human health resulting from exposure to toxic substances. By law, the panel must adopt written Findings that the risk assessment reports are based on sound scientific knowledge, methods, and practices after reviewing the supporting scientific data. Last year the Scientific Review Panel recommended to the Air Resources Board that diesel exhaust from diesel-fueled engines be identified as a toxic air contaminant. Among its Findings the panel concluded that existing epidemiological studies strongly suggest a causal relationship between occupational diesel exhaust exposure and lung cancer. Most recently, the panel concluded in Findings to the Department of Pesticide Regulation that methyl parathion should be identified as a toxic air contaminant.

Managed Care Reform in California: What Happened and Why?
Walter A. Zelman is the president and chief executive officer for the California Association of Health Plans, a trade association which represents 38 healthcare service plans providing healthcare coverage to over 20 million Californians. He was deeply involved in political and policy debates that led to landmark managed healthcare reform legislation recently signed into law by Governor Gray Davis. His Athenaeum talk will focus upon the outcomes of these reform efforts as well as the processes and negotiations that brought them about.
Zelman has worked in a variety of academic and public policy settings. He earned his B.A. in political science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from UCLA. From 1970 to 1975 Zelman taught political science at several Southern California universities, including Pitzer College. Zelman was subsequently drawn into more direct involvement with public policy. He was executive director of California Common Cause for a dozen years. In the early 1990s he was special deputy in the California Department of Insurance where he was responsible for formulating and advocating health insurance policy in a several areas. Dr. Zelman then became Senior Health Care Advisor to President Clinton, where he had an active role in developing the administration's health care reform agenda.
Before joining CAHP, Zelman was Professor of Health Policy and Management at Harvard University's School of Public Health. He also worked as a special assistant to the administrator of the federal government's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research, studying trends in healthcare markets and the implications of those trends for public policy.
Dr. Zelman is the author of numerous articles and two books on managed care. The second book, The Managed Care Blues and How to Cure Them (NYU Press, 1998), focuses on the potential of managed care to improve healthcare quality.
The Future of Alternative Health Care
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1999 Lunch
Michael S. Goldstein is Professor of Public Health and Professor of Sociology at UCLA, where he is also associate dean of the School of Public Health. He holds a Ph.D. from Brown University and has written extensively on various aspects of alternative medicine, including homeopathy, chiropractic, and the personal and professional lives of holistic physicians. He was among the first researchers on alternative medicine whose research was supported by the U.S. government's National Institutes of Health. He is the author of The Health Movement: Promoting Fitness in America (Macmillan, 1992) and has just published Alternative Health Care: Medicine, Miracle, or Mirage? (Temple University Press, 1999), the first systematic account of the growing presence of alternative medicine in American society. Goldstein's expertise is on the clinical, economic, and political realities of the broad range of alternative care options and practices in the United States.
Goldstein is one of three speakers in the Athenaeum's Healthcare 2020 theme, offered in conjunction with the Government 105 course Organization of Health Care and Public Policy taught by Professor Fred Lynch and Professor Judith Merkle.
Lunch is served at 11:45 a.m. Professor Goldstein will speak at 12:15 p.m.
This is the last Fortnightly of the fall semester. The next issue will be sent to you on January 18, 2000 and will announce the events planned for the spring.
The Athenaeum will host an array of speakers and performers: poets, economists, musicians, politicians, psychologists, and more, covering a wide and diverse range of topics and points of view.
We look forward to seeing you in the new year.

This fragrance-free long-wearing pressed-powder blush stands out as one of IT Cosmetics' star products. A light dusting of this finely milled, highly pigmented powder is enough to achieve vibrant, healthy color. The shades are mostly rose tones, but a bright coral option is also available. All are workable for light to deep skin tones.
As for the anti-aging claims, they don't hold water. While this is an excellent blush, the "hydra-luxe technology" they go on and on about on the label isn't what makes it worth checking out. Powders don't hydrate, they absorb water, and although the formula includes antioxidants and other skin-beneficial ingredients, the packaging won't keep them stable.
NOTE: Ingredients may vary by shade from the above listing.
Strengths: Vitality Cheek Flush; Hello Lashes 5-in-1 Treatment Mascara; Hello Light Anti-Aging Creme Illuminator; Vitality Lip Flush.
Weaknesses: Most IT Cosmetics products are overpriced; the loose-powder products tend to be quite messy; unimpressive eyeshadows; over-inflated anti-aging claims for a majority of the products in the line; the serum seems impressive, but comes up short on its anti-aging promises.
IT Cosmetics (the IT stands for "Innovative Technology") is the creation of Jamie Kern Lima, a former Miss USA pageant contestant and TV news anchor. Lima founded IT Cosmetics in 2008, selling her products in boutique stores and on QVC, then expanding into Canada in 2009. Since then, the line has gotten a lot of exposure with featured reports and stories on network television, including prominent mentions on the ABC reality show Dancing With the Stars.
Other than this abundant television exposure, the main draw of IT Cosmetics is its claim that the company works with leading plastic surgeons from Brazil to create products containing the very latest anti-aging technologies. That sounds intriguing, but is a bit silly when you consider that most plastic surgeons don't know anything about skin care or cosmetic ingredient research. Consulting a cosmetic surgeon about anti-aging formularies is like consulting a taxi driver about how to fly an airplane! You'd think Lima and her team would instead want to consult a dermatologist, but even that's not a slam-dunk for ensuring your anti-aging products are a cut above the rest, given that dermatologists also are not trained in skin-care formulations.
The labels on most IT Cosmetics products reveal a variety of age-defying claims centered around ingredients like antioxidants, peptides, vitamins, and collagen. Those are indeed great ingredients, but because many of IT Cosmetics' products are packaged in containers that expose these delicate ingredients to light and air, any benefit is reduced as soon as you open the jar or compact (something the plastic surgeons from Brazil obviously didn't know).
There are also some distinct weaknesses in the line, including an average yet pricey eyebrow pencil, powder illuminator, and eyeshadow whose performances don't justify the expense (especially not when you factor in the high shipping fees QVC charges).
Of course, IT Cosmetics also has some products that are worth checking out. The line boasts an excellent powder blush, mascara, creme illuminator, hydrating cream lipstick, and many other products—including a full-coverage concealer that is truly full coverage—that are very good. However, while these products are good, they are not so unique that similar products can't be found elsewhere for less money. As with any line that has a mix of good, so-so, and bad products, shopping using our reviews to guide you is a great way to ensure you'll at least get your money's worth, and your skin will be the better for it.

Cathryn Wellner's curator insight, May 28, 2:36 PM
Congratulations, France, for taking the lead on food waste.
Carlee Allen's curator insight, May 17, 12:12 PM
This article talks about how city market farms are producing about 20% of the world's food. It talks about how most produce now selling in grocery stores is from urban farms, and urban farms are now feeding 800 million people in the world. The article also mentions how developing countries are mostly participating in subsistence, but most Americans are participating in commercial agriculture, or farming for capital.
I found it very interesting that urban farms are now participating in feeding the world, and not just rural farms. I didn't ever realize that urban farms produced that much fruit and vegetables to help feed the rest of the world, and I find it very interesting that everyone is helping fight hunger!
Cathryn Wellner's curator insight, May 27, 11:21 AM
Globally about 40% of food is wasted. The French are trying to reduce that shocking percentage.

Meadowdale's Haili Taylor (top), Ashley Brooke (middle) and Alyssa Reuble (bottom) cheer as the Mavericks score in the sixth inning of their 5-3 win over Glacier Peak on Tuesday.
Come from behind to beat Glacier Peak.
But this time it was in the playoffs. In the teams' third battle of the season, it once again came down to late-game heroics. The Mavericks scored four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to help Meadowdale defeat Glacier Peak 5-3 in a 3A district semifinal game Thursday night at Phil Johnson Field.
The win clinched a state berth for Meadowdale, which will face Mountlake Terrace in the 3A District 1 championship on Thursday.
"It's kind of what we've been doing all year," Mavericks' head coach Dennis Hopkins said. "Last time we played Glacier Peak we were down by two in the seventh and we got it. It seems like every time we play it goes down to the end. Glacier Peak's a great team. It's always really hard to beat a team a third time."
In the teams' second meeting, it took nine innings before Meadowdale scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to secure the win. This time around the Mavericks got on the board a little earlier.
Glacier Peak, coming off a 5-4 first-round win over Ferndale that took 10 innings, got things going early, with one run in the second and two in the third.
Then Meadowdale pitcher Alyssa Reuble settled down. She allowed one hit from the fourth inning on and finished the game with 13 strikeouts.
The senior also stepped up at the plate, hitting a leadoff double in the fourth and scoring a run later in the inning on a sacrifice fly. Then Reuble jumpstarted the Mavericks' offense with a solo home run to lead off Meadowdale's four-run sixth inning.
"I turned around and said, 'I did my job, you do your job,'" Reuble said. "And that's what happened. ... It was such a team effort. It was nice to see our bats come alive, even if it was late. We sometimes wait to the last second. We're like the comeback kids."
"We count on her," Hopkins said of Reuble. "We count on everybody, but she's kind of the go-to kid who sparks the team and gets them going."
Reuble's homer preceded three straight singles for Meadowdale, which took the lead for good on an RBI single by Ciarra Hart. Samantha Gregoryk added a sacrifice fly for the Mavericks.
Callie Bircher pitched the whole game for Glacier Peak, and looked a bit tired by the end of her second game. Bircher pitched 17 innings on Tuesday for the Grizzlies -- who along with fellow Wesco 3A teams Shorecrest and Mountlake Terrace -- gave the league a complete sweep in the first round of the district tournament.
"I was happy we came out aggressive and were able to score some runs," Glacier Peak head coach Caitlin Nies said. "Meadowdale has a great hitting lineup and the third time around they're tough. Callie had pitched that whole 10-inning game and lost some steam at the end. I was proud of how we battled and fought."
The win put Meadowdale into the district championship game, where the Mavericks hope to be district champs for the first time since anyone can remember.
"They want to win districts," Hopkins said. "Meadowdale hasn't won there in years. I don't even know when the last time was. It was like the '80s. Hopefully the chips fall our way or the softball gods are good to us."
Regardless of the outcome against Mountlake Terrace in the district final, the Mavericks will be headed back to the 3A state tournament where they went 1-2 last season. Reuble thinks going into state with a win is a huge momentum boost.
"Winning districts is so important because it's just such great momentum going to state," Reuble said. "It's been one of the goals of our program."

text: Aminu had three of these four (doesn't shoot the three) but his on-ball defense got terrible. I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt and blame it on the poor rotations as a whole, i just don't see how you can lose defensive abilities like that. I guess it all stems from whether he's motivated or not

Getting Into Water Polo
It's fast, it's exciting, and it's probably the most fun you can have in the pool. Water polo is a great way to get into swimming.
In water polo you have two teams of seven players, and one them tries to score more points than the other.
Players on a team move the ball by throwing it or swimming while pushing the ball in front of them.
It's fast. Once a team has the ball it only has 30 seconds to shoot at goal.
It's challenging. You aren't allowed to touch the bottom of the pool and can only hold the ball with one hand.
Only the goalkeeper can use both hands and touch the bottom of the pool, so he or she can really concentrate on saving goals.

Perhaps they could lease it to a nearby community.
This would take most of the expenses off the Metro books and show revenue by doing so.

Or just do like most Indiana parks do and charge an entrance fee too enter, it sounds like it'd be a pain but anything to fund the park. It CAN'T be cheap to hire people to do general maintenance and what not...
the city of louisville has tried to give ocp to meade co in the past. the last time was in 2004. i doubt they will take it now. and the history of ocp tells us that it was given to the city of louisville in 1947. in 1995 metro parks took it over. this is why ocp is owned by louisville. i would think that it would be wise to try to get state or federal gov to take over the park. and while i hate to see it go i understand why the mayor specified ocp as the park that gotta go. the main reason is it is not in louisville, and why should louisville tax dollars be spent to run a park that is not in louisville.
There is a topic on this at DGCourseReview.com now. link to topic is found here http://http://www.dgcoursereview.com...#46;php?t=1159 . Some people have interest in the baskets if this closure is for good. I would hope that the LDGC gets first dibs if this is the case.

I disagree with that appraisal.
I'll soften this a bit - I'll just say that I think that's too easy a take on the situation. It's not like he played out of his mind because he was involved. He was very active tonight, and the Lakers looked to get him involved. Not sure that one was directly and solely responsible for the other.
i get your point but lets just say D12 is more likely to play harder if he is getting involved on the offensive end. He is no different than any other big in the history of the game an by that history has proven when bigs get touches they are more active on defense and on the offensive boards. it is no excuse because imo whether you get touches or not you should bust your butt on defense and that goes for every player.
I think you're right, but that's true of so many players on our team...but there are only so many touches. So we have to play to the individual matchups often. Players have to know that if they work, they'll be rewarded...even if it's next game.

Comments about Disney Sassy Evil Queen Adult Womens Costume:
Bought this on sale and couldn't be happier! Dress fits perfectly, it's pretty and sexy. Collar on the cape doesn't stand up on its own and a minor alteration to the ties should fix it. I don't even think I'll wear the scratchy peddicoat as the dress is poofy enough on its own. I look forward to wearing it to my cousins Disney themed Wedding Social next Halloween!
Comments about Disney Sassy Evil Queen Adult Womens Costume:
This outfit looks nothing like it does online. The head piece and the corset are add ons. They have Velcro on and are suppose to attach to the outfit but it doesn't. I spent more money tailoring the head piece and the corset at a seamstress in addition to buying another purple dress because the original outfit looked hideous. Side note: the head piece does not stay up on its own, you need to be creative on how to make it work. The head piece is the only thing that looks great because you really do look like the evil queen and it's adjustable.

Comments about Disney Sassy Evil Queen Adult Womens Costume:
The sizing for this was all wrong It said 12-14 and I am a size 10 but had a hard time getting it on, it was really tight. There is glitter all over the dress, which if I had know before I wouldn't have bought it. It was also cheaply made, everything was velcroed.

Eisfeld High GTX Men RRP $ 375.00
Product views
The commercial highlight of the Eiger Extreme line impresses with its fit, technological innovations and futuristic look. It uses convincing proven technologies, such as the patented Base Fit lace system, the comfort-enhancing Memo Foam, and the elastic GORE-TEX tongue construction. New and innovative features include the delicate TPU Hybrid Shell, which spans almost the entire shaft, and the shape-retaining, robust wedge, which is made from three different materials. The three different GORE-TEX lining materials also perfect the Mammut FeetMap system. The small neoprene gaiter on the end of the shaft provides protection from dust, snow and small stones.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

As the bullocking winger for South Africa U20 in 2008, Omphile 'Tom' Seabela was at the inaugural Junior World Championship in Wales.
He played three seasons in the Pretoria Boys' High School 1st XV. He has also played for the Blue Bulls at Craven Week for three consecutive years.
His coach at Pretoria Boys' High School, Paul Anthony, knew from the start Seabela had to play for his team.
'I play any U16 player who has the talent and ability, and most of all the strength to handle from that level up. I did it with John Smit, Brian Liebenberg, and Chiliboy Ralepelle, and Tom was good enough to play at 1st XV level that early,' says Anthony.
'He's a great all-round player and a very strong finisher. Last year, while he was still at school, Tom made the Blue Bulls U19 team that reached the final of the tournament. That's how highly he's rated.'
There is no substitute for pace, and Seabela has loads of it.
'He's run the 100m in 10.6 seconds and to go with it, he is very strong. You give him space and he's gone,' says Anthony.
Seabela has made a pleasant habit of playing in age-group representative teams from a much younger age, and that didn't change this year. He was selected for the Baby Boks aged 19, and scored a try in his two outings at the Junior World Championship. Barring injury or an unexpected loss of form, Seabela will use this good experience to return to the Baby Boks.
'In 2009, I think he'll play a big role with SA U20 and will be pushing for a place in the Blue Bulls Vodacom Cup side. I know there are so many good players at the union, but in the next three years I'd say he'll be playing Currie Cup and Super 14. He's a big lad [1.80m and 85kg] who has both the pace and power to play some good rugby very soon.'
But, like all young players, Seabela has aspects he needs to work on to make him an international-standard finisher.
'We are busy on his footwork,' Anthony confirms. 'Tom is a very direct player because he's a big guy but his ability to run around people is devastating. So, we want to utilise that and make sure he does it more often. His passing and catching needs a bit of attention, while his work under the high-ball also needs some fine-tuning.'
Anthony has no doubt Seabela will go places, but he doesn't want to see him rushed too quickly, despite his enormous promise.
'Tom's played above his age-group successfully all his life, but I want to see him at his own age-level for a couple of years,' he says. 'While he's honing one or two skills with those guys, it will allow him to really excel in the future.'

The results are up! Please let me know if I forgot your PDGA number spelled your name wrong or anything.
thanks Nick, had a great time.
My last name should be spelled Rief
Also, I'm sure you are aware, but when you submit the results to be official, be sure to designate which divisions played the different layouts. As of now, it looks like the Open played from the short tees, based on the round ratings.
The ratings should even out better when you do this, as of now the open ratings seem about 20 points low each round.
Again, had a great time, love the course. You did a good job running your first tournament congrats!
wonderful job Nick, Ed, course was great had a great time keep up the good work can't wait till next years
Thanks so much stress got to me at the end but never expected 82 people to show up. Hopefully the next tournament that I run, runs so much smoothly.

A FEW weeks ago the Department of Commerce issued a newspaper statement about sugar. It was highly statistical and painfully dull in style, but it contained a few words destined to have results sensational enough for anybody. "Production for 1923 only 125,000 tons higher than last year," said a note at the beginning.
THE French adventure in the Ruhr checked the rising propaganda for the entrance of the United States into the League of Nations, but it has not entirely arrested it. The case as the pro-Leaguers present it is very simple: Isolation means the continuance of war, cooperation the cessation of war. The League of Nations represents the method of cooperation; it represents the only existing attempt in that direction. The syllogism completes itself.
I read of blunders and bigotries, of catastrophic acts of blind ignorance, of the incredible bungling of statesmen and those in high places and then my jaundiced eye, arrived at the sporting page, brightens. It falls upon a name in a column of names. "E. Collins, 2b," reads the heartening box-score, "a. b.-4, h.-3, 0.-2, a.-3, e.-0." With Senator McCumber, I join in the belief that God's sun still shines over us.
These are the days of commemorations and centenaries, first, second, third and fourth. Columbus so far has had a monopoly of the last digit, but we are in the thick of the threes and it is only natural that 1920—or 1921, in the tardy manner of such ponderous occasions—has been used as tercentennial pretext to summon the Pilgrim from his venerably documented past and to make him live again as symbol for today of his courageous and questing spirit.

- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

(Mind you, my use of a standing desk has very little to do with the health benefits... rather, my reasons are more related to the five little rug-rats roaming around my house, who cannot resist playing with anything electronic which comes within their reach.)
Oh yeah... I also have the mini-screen in my pocket, which probably claims my eyes for another 10%-20%. So I would guess-timate (accounting for overlapping usage and substitution usage) that puts me staring at luminescent pixels for around 60%-80% of my waking day.
Holy crap. Why on earth would you ask such an introspective question, forcing me to evaluate how wisely (or not) I'm using my time?!? You sadistic nut! Now I have to find ways to start whittling those numbers back down -- or else, come up with rationalizations for why those numbers are so blasted high!
Wait, wait... perhaps I can claim that the numbers are entirely meaningless, since it's all just guesswork anyway... yeah, that's the ticket...
Whew. Crisis averted. Carry on; nothing to see here.

Look mate, I live in a shitty Eastern European country. Our opportunities here are 10 times crappier and less (as both amount and quality) than Western Europe has to offer, let alone USA.
I'm sorry that I have to rephrase so that all "I don't get it" audience would understand. But.
You have to stare at a screen for 10 hours a day; you hate it; you want to change that but can't? Why? Not because you lack opportunities, not because you can't do anything about it, but for two main reasons:
1. You got used to it. You got used to this life style you dislike and prefer to sit and whine rather than go through the pain of changing it.
2. It brings you a certain comfort. Something you can't let go. Fast Internet, life in a big city, whatever. Something you somehow wouldn't give up.
A rather extreme example: sell all your fucking belongings, move to the middle of nowhere, buy a tiny piece of land there, start growing fruits and vegetables, live off the fat of the land. There, 0% spent in front of a screen. But that means giving up Facebook (oh, the horror!), cable (you can't live without) and... and... ehmehgehrd! Slashdot! What would YOU do with no Slashdot???
That's what it is. The life you hate enables the life you love.

Oh, I should mention in addition that they are both ridiculously over priced. I wouldn't buy the daily in a million years. I can buy an F-150 and mod it for about 5k and a couple of days in a welding shop to nearly double the load capacity and its tow capacity is already over double. For 55k USD(thats starting with a truck that has ALL of the electronic toys etc) total the truck is done and the cab is a hundred times more comfortable. At 15L/100KM for normal city use on the V8 model is nearly double the fuel economy but you'd need two Daily's to match it, at which point the fuel economy becomes a very moot point, because one Daily costs nearly the same. The Eurocargo matches it but the 2 wheel version is 70k USD. 15k buys you a lot of gas, and you're still not as comfortable as you are in the F-150.
It looks like a great little thing for cities as I said, but its got no place in the real country.

Best experience with ordering on line ever! Arrived at my house in 3 days! Even the box it came in is beautiful! I'll be ordering everything paper related from them!
This was our second option. We decided to go with it because of the price and I was now disappointed! I winded up loving this one more.
Beautiful Wedding Invites
I was a little worried about ordering invites with a black background; what if the black was too dark, or will the wording stand out and be readable, ect. The black is soft and looks great behind the corral and mint colors I choose as my text colors. I love the decals on the back and how you can add your return address to the to the back of the RSVP cards. The quality is very nice. Stiff yet bendable card stock. It comes out exactly how you see it in the proofs. Awesome!
Great product
We are happy with our invitations. The design was nice and we appreciated being able to customize the message on the invitation. The only weird thing was that we got a few more invitations, RSVP card, and envelopes than what we'd ordered, but different numbers of everything. Unfortunately, the smallest overage was for envelopes (2 extra), which couples are most likely to need extras of (what with possible mistakes in addressing them). That's not really a complaint, because we got what we ordered and then some; just an observation. Prices and discounts were reasonable, so I would recommend this company.
I Couldn't Ask For Better Invitations!
I looked at a ton of invitations from a variety of companies, and I received samples of many invitations, and these were hands down my favorite. The MagnetStreet website made it easy to personalize all the pieces of my invitation suite, and I received our proofs within 24hrs of placing our order. Printing & shipping were very fast and we received them faster than expected! We printed on the textured paper and each piece is beautiful, not a single blemish or issue. I couldn't be more thrilled with how these turned out.

Shattered dreams and broken hearts are painful facts of life, but with the aid of a magic flask that can absorb human sorrow, young Kobato soon hopes to get her chance to help make life better for everyone. However, first she has to meet the approval of the half-human creature known as Ioryogi, and he has his doubts whether the strange girl with the mysterious past is truly ready.
It's only with great reluctance that he decides to send Kobato on her first test assignment, and it's going to be the ultimate test of Kobato's spirit. The only way to truly understand the pain of a broken heart is to have had one yourself, and even with the power of magic behind her, Kobato is about to learn that there are some hearts she may never be able to mend - including her own.

Beautiful card
When we got our invites they looked amazing, then we noticed a misspelled word on the invite. Although it was our fault the company was very helpful and worked with us. Got our new invites they look amazing and can't wait to send them out!
Beautiful save the dates and invitations
We were impressed by the sample packet that was sent to us when we ordered our save the date magnets. The quality of the magnets and all the paper is great. The colors are beautiful and there are many different styles to choose from. They offer amazing discounts as well! We will be ordering our programs from Magnetstreet and would highly recommend this company to any future couples!
Love my invitations
Had a wonderful experience with magnet street for both my save the date magnets and invitations. They are fast and the customer service was great. I had to reorder my invitations because the church I wanted became available and they gave me excellent pricing on the reorder. I am a very happy customer and will definitely use magnet street again.
wedding invitation
The invitations are exactly what I wanted and was shown in the photo. I made a special request for personalization which was done exactly as I wanted. My only dislike of the product is the paper they are printed on. For the price I was expecting thicker better quality paper stock. Overall I'm happy with my product.
amazing invitations
i am extremely happy that I chose to get my save the date magnets and invitations through this company. They both came out better than I imagined. I will say I love the fact that I could choose my colors and design both items. Thank you for the amazing customer service as well. You defiantly helped me out when I needed it.

|Introduction | Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH. Power O.I.S lens performance | Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH. Power O.I.S versus competition | Conclusion
Here are 3 "standard" zoom lenses, each spanning the wide to short telephoto range. Panasonic's 14-42 goes a little longer but not as wide while the Olympus matches the G X Vario at the wide end and goes even longer. Both of these competitor lenses are much slower and both have variable apertures, but they are also very much cheaper, much less than half the price.
The DxOMark scores for the cheaper lenses are 10 and 10 against the 12-35's score of 17. The chart would seem to suggest that all of the advantage that the 12-35 has is when it is used wide open, the scores between f5.6 and f22 are much closer together.
The score for Sharpness certainly favors the Lumix G X 12-35, it performs very well wide open at f2.8 where the other lenses cannot compete. At smaller apertures the differences are small.
To put things in perspective here are the best scoring 12mm fixed focal length and 45mm, a combination that some people might prefer. The combined price of these two lenses is similar to the Lumix G X 12-35 and their weight together is similar too. The DxO Mark scores are 19 for the 12mm and 20 for the 45 so slightly better.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
It's almost four years since Panasonic introduced the first mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in the shape of the Lumix DMC-G1, a most unrevolutionary-looking product that ushered in a brave new era of camera system design. In the intervening years we've seen a slew of cameras of this type as all of the major manufacturers (with the curious exception of Canon) have joined the fray. We've also seen a welcome resurgence of compact fast primes along with the development of clever collapsing zooms, as manufacturers have sought to capitalise on the inherent size advantage over SLR designs. But one type of lens highly valued by more-serious photographers has been conspicuous by its absence - the high quality, large aperture zoom. Panasonic has now addressed this with a lens it's labelling H-HS12035 - an optically-stabilized 12-35mm F2.8 in its premium 'X' range.

Pansonic vs Olympus
How is it you have awarded the Olympus 12-40 f2.8 an overall score of 20 (Olympus OM-D E-M1 body) but only 19 for the Panasonic 12-35 f2.8?
They both score the same for sharpness - 9
The Panasonic has better transmission (T-stop) - 3.1 (Pana) vs 3.3 (Oly)
less vignetting - -0.8 (Pana) vs -0.9 (Oly)
less distortion - 0.9% (Pana) vs 1.3% (Oly)
Only on the Chromatic aberration test does the Olympus score better than the Panasonic and then by only 1um.
They are both pretty close in performance, but it seems to me the overall scores should be reversed.

good comparison
this is good to see the comparison with the Oly 12 and Oly 45, from the graphs it looks like we just need to go for our personal preference: 12 & 45 on a PEN vs the 12-35 on the OMD ... these give very different size solutions and of course that extra stop for the primes
Added by ronnbot | May 07, 2013
Better than the Canikon?
Interesting comparison. Why not compare to similar lenses in other format like what was done with the 35-100/2.8?
Anyway, this lens is a good one. It has better overall score than both Canon and Nikon 17-55/2.8 with better sharpness and CA than the Canon and better transmission and vignetting than both:

Re: Better than the Canikon?
First, get a clue about which lens to compare with. Pana 35-100 needs to be compared with 70-200/2.8 from Canon and Nikon on a FF sensor. The dinky m43 lens isn't in the same universe as the Canon and Nikon equivalent.
Added by sflxn | May 12, 2013
Re: Better than the Canikon?
My bad. I saw the comments from the 'Forums' page. It didn't have a link back to the lens page you were commenting about. I just saw 35-100 and assumed you were talking about that lens. Now, I know you're talking about the 12-35 lens. The forums page is very poorly done on this site.

personal use
Rented the lens for a family vacation, fantastic results. Great exposures and very sharp and vivid colors. Did punch up the saturation before use, but liked it so much i ordered one.

Spinone Italiano
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Spinone Italiano is a member of the Sporting or Gundog Groups.
Male: 71-82 lb.; female: 62-71 lb.
Male: 23-27 inches; female: 22-25 inches.
The coat is all white or white with orange or brown markings and may include orange or brown roan.
The Spinone Italiano sports a close fitting, single coat that is thick and wiry. The rough, dry hairs are 1.5 – 2.5 inches long. The hairs lie flat or slightly crimped and offer weather resistance.
This hardworking breed is courageous and devoted. The Spinone Italiano wears a gentle and intelligent expression.
Country of Origin:
Italy (Piedmont)
This breed may have originated in the Piemont area of northwest Italy. Ancestral roots may include the Celtic wirehaired stock or dogs of Greek traders during the Roman Empire. Dogs of France, Spain and Russia may also have contributed to this lineage. This efficient worker proved talented in pointing, setting and retrieving. During World War II the Spinone Italiano tracked German Patrols. By the end of the war, this breed suffered a low population, then bred with other wire-haired breeds.
Spinone is derived from pino, an Italian thorn bush that hid small game. This breed's protective coat resisted any damage from the thorns. Also known as Italian Spinone, Italian Griffon, Italian Pointer, Italian Wire-haired Pointer, Italian Coarsehaired Pointer.
This patient breed is gentle and affectionate. Although sometimes stubborn, the Spinone Italiano is more calm and mild-mannered than most other pointers.
Provide motivational training. Socialize this breed when young or it may grow up timid. This intelligent dog learns quickly and is eager to please. With a mind of its own, this pet may seem to question the logic of a task.
Indoors, this dog needs low to medium activity; outdoors, the needs are medium to high activity. Provide daily walks, runs off leash and playtime. With its fast trot, this breed is well-suited to joggers. The Spinone Italiano enjoys retrieving over terrain and water.
This family dog likes to share time, home and travels with the people he loves. Children need to respect this pet. Be sure no one abuses his patient nature. Provide a securely fenced yard that can prevent jumping or tunnelling. Although it has watchdog abilities, this breed is too sociable as a guard dog.
No breeders listed at this time.

Reader Stories Share Your Story Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by cancer of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years. Unless the colon is removed, these polyps will become malignant (cancerous). The average age at which an individual develops colon cancer in classic familial adenomatous polyposis is 39 years. Some people have a variant of the disorder, called attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis, in which polyp growth is delayed. The average age of colorectal cancer onset for attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis is 55 years. In people with classic familial adenomatous polyposis, the number of polyps increases with age, and hundreds to thousands of polyps can develop in the colon. Also of particular significance are noncancerous growths called desmoid tumors. These fibrous tumors usually occur in the tissue covering the intestines and may be provoked by surgery to remove the colon. Desmoid tumors tend to recur after they are surgically removed. In both classic familial adenomatous polyposis and its attenuated variant, benign and malignant tumors are sometimes found in other places in the body, including the duodenum (a section of the small intestine), stomach, bones, skin, and other tissues. People who have colon polyps as well as growths outside the colon are sometimes described as having Gardner syndrome. A milder type of familial adenomatous polyposis, called autosomal recessive familial adenomatous polyposis, has also been identified. People with the autosomal recessive type of this disorder have fewer polyps than those with the classic type. Fewer than 100 polyps typically develop, rather than hundreds or thousands. The autosomal recessive type of this disorder is caused by mutations in a different gene than the classic and attenuated types of familial adenomatous polyposis.

Handbag auction supports programs for victims of domestic violence
Sofia Jaramillo / The Herald
Stephanie Civey, events and marketing coordinator for Domestic Violence Services, displays some of the purses that will be up for auction June 12 at Everett's Comcast Arena.
Sofia Jaramillo / The Herald
Some of the handbags will be up for auction at the Domestic Violence luncheon fundraiser on June 12 at Comcast Arena in Everett.
Sofia Jaramillo / The Herald
A Kate Spade handbag will be among purses offered at an auction at the Domestic Violence luncheon fundraiser June 12 at Everett�s Comcast Arena.
About 300 purses will be up for grabs at Thursday's annual luncheon and auction fundraiser for Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County.
If things go as in previous years, all the bags will get grabbed.
"It's fun. It's quick. It's for a good cause," said Debra Bordsen, development director of the non-profit serving victims of domestic abuse. Services include a 52-bed emergency shelter, transitional housing, crisis hotline and youth programs.
"Last year's event raised $16,000 in two hours," Bordsen said. "This year we hope to do $20,000."
That's right: two hours. All while lunch is served.
This is the fifth year for the handbag gala where women line up before the doors open. It was moved from Everett Golf & Country Club to Comcast Events Center this year to meet the demand for more seats. Reservations for the $25 lunch can be made through Tuesday.
The purses are sold by silent and live auctions. The live auction of mainly designer bags start at $75. Silent auction purses start at lower prices.
Bags are many shapes, styles and colors, with fringe, chains and straps wide and thin. There are wallet, clutches and evening bags.
Brands include Coach, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Dooney & Bourke and Michi.
"Many are brand new," Bordsen said. "People collect for us year round."
Some bags come from far away.
"I had a friend who was in Italy and brought us back a purse," Bordsen said. "Two years ago, someone was in Nepal and brought back a purse that women there make so they can make a living wage."
Donations are still being accepted for the auction. Purses must be new or gently used.
Some bidders will walk away with centerpiece handbags filled with fun items with a wine, travel or other theme.
Whether it's a billfold or supersized satchel, there's plenty of handbag happiness to go around.
"Last year a woman who got a Louis Vuitton did a victory dance," Bordsen said.
Andrea Brown; 425-339-3443; firstname.lastname@example.com
Grab a bag and help
Handbag Auction & Luncheon to benefit Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County is June 12 at Comcast Events Center, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett.
Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for three silent auctions, plus an evening bag and wallet section and "Almost Live" handbags.
Lunch and live auction of new handbags and centerpieces begins at noon.
For reservations and donations, call Stephanie Civey at 425-259-2827, extension 1013. For more information: www.dvs-snoco.org.
