Christopher Abbott's Nice Guy on 'Girls' Makes Our Hearts Flutter – The Daily Swoon
We continue our lead-up to the 'Girls' season 2 premiere with actor Christopher Abbott, who plays super-nice guy Charlie on the show. Look at that face! How can you break his heart?
Abbott has puppy-dog eyes, the kind of eyes that look like they're always about to cry. It was sad then, in season one of 'Girls,' when Marnie broke his little heart and sent him into the arms of Audrey, a girl Marnie memorably — and accurately — described as looking like a "tiny Navajo."
Charlie is a really sweet — maybe sometimes too sweet — guy who wears his heart on his sleeve and ends up getting hurt a lot, but we love his naivete and his unwillingness to change. He's a good dude who means well. He'll find the right lady someday!
Christopher Abbott is a versatile actor, who also starred in last year's indie film 'Hello I Must Be Going' as the much younger love interest of Melanie Lynskey's character, a recently divorced woman who has to move back in with her parents.
In both 'Girls' and 'Hello I Must Be Going,' Abbott gives off a sensitive but seductive side. We can't get enough.

Comments about Yakima Kingjoe Rack:
I've used this rack on several different vehicles from sedans to station wagons and it was easy to get a secure fit on every one. It has 6 straps to keep it from moving around and the pads that touch the car have caused no damage to the finish. The rubber clamps that hold the bikes are secure and do not damage the paint.
A trick I use to keep the bikes from rubbing together is to get them as close together as possible so they are touching and use 6 to 8 inch pieces of foam plumbing pipe insulation wrapped around the bike tubing at those points. I've never had any damage.
Comments about Yakima Kingjoe Rack:
This is a great bike rack overall. It is very versatile and works on most any type of car and comes with adapters for SUV's glass trunks. We have the three bike holder and it works great for 2 if you leave a space in the middle so they don't rub. Three is pretty tight and we have done some paint damage to our bikes on long trips because the plastic holders will slide on the bar after a long ride. That is my only real complaint, other than that it is a great solid bike rack and your bikes won't sway back and forth with the design of the plastic holders. I'd recommend it.

Alamance County wasn't a winter wonderland Friday – it was an icy mess.
Sleet and freezing rain began falling shortly after noon and picked up in intensity as the day progressed. By mid-afternoon, law enforcement officers were having a tough time responding to all the calls they were receiving pertaining to traffic accidents.
"We are completely covered up," said a dispatcher for the N.C. Highway Patrol shortly before 2 p.m.
Students in the elementary grades in the Alamance-Burlington School System were dismissed at 10:30 a.m., shortly after a few snowflakes had fallen. Middle school and high school students were sent home at 11:15 a.m. School activities scheduled today were cancelled.
Early dismissals had been planned, but schools were closed even earlier than expected after the storm delivered a bit more punch than anticipated.
With the exception of those early flurries, most of what fell involved either sleet or freezing rain. It wasn't one of those Currier and Ives afternoons.
Trooper R.J. Fuquay of the Highway Patrol said he knew of plenty of accidents on Friday, but heard of none involving a fatality or serious injuries. He responded to an accident on Greensboro/Chapel Hill Road near its intersection with Coble Mill Road that involved an overturned pickup.
Fuquay said the accident was indicative of those he investigated – enough to be a problem, but not bad enough to require anyone to seek medical treatment.
"We've heard of lots of people going in ditches, but most have been able to get out on their own," Fuquay said.
He said he advised motorists to drive as slowly as conditions dictated and to get off the roads as soon as possible.
"It just takes that one patch of ice," Fuquay said. "And things seem to be getting worse."
By mid-afternoon, drivers for Alamance County Emergency Medical Services were advised to follow "hazardous weather driving protocol."
Chuck Mancillas, director of the county's EMS, said once drivers are instructed to follow that protocol, they must respond to all calls in a non-emergency fashion – regardless of the seriousness of the call. Mancillas said they do so to try and avoid being involved in an accident while en route to an accident or other emergency.
"It's for safety reasons," he said.
Mancillas said conditions in the northern and southern ends of the county seemed to be worse than in the central. He said he'd spoken during the day to a number of ambulance drivers under his watch.
"I just tell them to be careful," Mancillas said. "There's not much else to say."
Blair Thompson, street superintendent for the city of Burlington, said drivers operating brine trucks were dispatched to particularly icy areas. He said a truck was sent to Rauhut Street to spray brine after police reported a problem spot. That was done despite the fact that Rauhut Street is a state-maintained road.
"I've been out driving the roads and they're getting worse," Thompson said.
Despite the problems, Ryan Ellis, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh, said the storm came in pretty much as forecasters predicted. He said precipitation was expected to stop by early evening.
For those looking for a silver lining, temperatures will return to the 60s by the middle of next week – by which time all this mess will be but a distant memory.

Adekugbe's road to MLS
As newly signed Whitecaps FC Residency player Sam Adekugbe embarks on the most important journey in his soccer career, his familiar surroundings still act as his motivator.
EA SPORTS One to Watch - Sam Adekugbe
Playing professional soccer in Vancouver would have certainly been far from the mind of Adekugbe in his early years. The young left back was born in London and moved to Manchester when he was just two-years-old, living in the home city of English Premier League giants Manchester City FC, his favourite overseas club. From there he moved to Calgary, Alberta, when he was nine, where he played with local club Calgary Foothills SC.

A lot of attention is focused on the bride's appearance during the wedding day, but make no mistake about it, the day is equally as important for the groom! His tuxedo, his accessories and his overall fashion statement matters and it would be foolish to make a quick decision about his look for the big day. Thought, time and effort should be invested when selecting the groom's attire, but how is this possible without multiple trips to a Jim's Formal Wear Retailer's store to discuss and view formal options?
Enter The Tuxedo Builder apps!

Scouting Report-There are Big Conference scouting gurus everywhere kicking themselves for letting Iupati end up at Idaho. You look up road grader in the dictionary and here's who you see. He's got a massive frame with long arms and huge hands. He's not your typical fat boy and carries his 330lbs really well. Going along with that, he's about as athletic a guy for his height and weight in the draft. You love a nasty attitude and Iupati has it in spades. He throws a big punch and never takes a play off. Loves to finish strong and that usually means dropping the yokozuna on a defensive player. Now he's not too good to be true but he does have some shortcomings. He's not real quick, and doesn't work well against the edge, having to drop out and picking players up on the outside. This goes along with blitz pickup. He makes excellent reads and knows what to do on every play but there are times when his body just won't let him get there. Some of this is footwork. You have to admit when you've been able to physically dominate like he has, your footwork and techique is going to take a backseat.
Draft Status-It seems every year a guy like Iupati sneaks into the first round. I'd have no problem with my team were picking in the bottom of the first and needed a guard drafted him. One thing that could effect his status is if a team thinks they can move him to tackle. If they do, they will rate him higher. I'm not ridin' that train. I suspect somewhere between pick 20-40 Iupati comes off the board.
Final Analysis-Love Iupati's game. I don't think he can move to tackle and as a guard he's much better in small spaces then pulling or at the second level. But for a team that plays a lot of 4-3 defenses where he's going to have one on one's against another wide body, point of attack, he's going to win those. As I said, his pass pro is going to have to improve, but that's pretty minimal. Give him a run heavy team and he'll dominate. Some are concerned he hasn't played dominate defenses but that doesn't bug me. He can maul people and works hard. That can't be underestimated. Conditioning and effort won't be an issue and teams have to appreciate that.
Reminds me of: Aaron Sears, OG Tampa Bay-Both are big physical guys who are stronger as run blocker than pass protectors.

Love them!
I love this design. Simple and classic - just what I was looking for. The Save the Date was a little smaller than I was expecting but it still turned out great! All of my cards are fabulous!
Wonderful Company
I placed an order with Magnet Street and the artist was so prompt and good with meeting my requests with each proof that was sent. I was so excited to receive my order when I realized I had made a mistake in the ordering as I did not properly look at the dimensions. When I contacted Magnet Street they again were very understanding and willing to work with me in the most fair way. When I re-ordered in the correct size they were again so prompt. I have since received the correct order and I absolutely love them!
absolutely perfect
Working with the site to personalize the card was easy and it came out exactly how we wanted. My fiancé and I are both very pleased with the original design and most importantly the final outcome!

We do, however, have "space machines" (a boat, say, or a plane):
It is very well attested that adopted infants, from completely different backgrounds and cultures are easily raised within the culture of their adopted parents.
As for the time machine issue, the times involved are orders of magnitude less than what is required for significant evolution in a biological sense.
Hence, we have no reason to believe that the time machine example would provide us with a human infant distinctly different from our own.
From what I can see, your use of the word "evolve" can only be given meaningful content as "culturally evolved".
Culturally evolved… I can accept that. "Evolve" has a biological connotation, so maybe we should just not use the word. I think that in certain areas, humanity (but not religion) has gained a lot of knowledge about the world that we did not have in biblical times. Thus, humans born today are better equipped to examine those concepts. However, organized religion claims to already have the answer to questions such as "What happens when we die?" and "What is our place in the world?". Their answers, of course, are based on ancient texts which have no foundation other than their own existence. To paraphrase Sam, many believe that the Bible is the word of God "merely because it says so in the Bible".
Your example of adopted infants hits home for me. My 6-year-old cousin was adopted from Ukraine. As far as I can tell, he is perfectly well-adjusted to the American way of life, speaks the language and suffers no ill effects because he was born in a different, less developed country. Incidentally, he will probably grow up believing in Catholicism because that is what he will be told is true.
I assume that if my cousin could somehow have been plucked from the 1st century and raised today, he would be similarly well-adjusted. It doesn't seem plausible to think that a child from the 1st century would be unable to understand 21st century science, math, etc. if he or she learned it at a young age. On the other hand, many older people today are unable (or more likely unwilling) to easily learn how to use modern technology. I think that these examples show that it is human thought - not human beings themselves - that has improved with time. If we were able to have an honest discussion about the nature of the world, unburdened by the arbitrary claims that religions make, I think we would be far better off.

Contingencies Available For Tire Rack Solo Nationals
TOPEKA, Kan. (July 26, 2013) – Seventeen separate contingency programs are being offered for top finishes at The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships, September 3-6, at the Lincoln (Neb.) Airpark.
The first contingency measures improvement across the event, and not just the highest finisher. GoPro, the official camera of SCCA, will reward one driver each in the Stock, Street Touring, Street Prepared, Prepared, Street Modified and Modified category a GoPro HERO3 camera as the GoPro Hero Moment Award winner. The driver in each category who improves the most positions from day one to day two will be declared the winner.
Solo competition is often decided in hundredths of a second, and much of that can be made up literally where the rubber meets the road. BFGoodrich Tires, the official street tire of SCCA, is giving every eligible National Champ four free tires, with a pair of tires going to a runner-up finish and one tire for third place. Both Hoosier Racing Tire and Kumho Tires are giving away product for finishes, with each offering four for a win and two for a runner-up. Kumho chips in an additional tire for third place, and doubles each prize in the Street Touring category. Hankook Tire and Toyo Tires award top finishes with cash on a $1,000-$750-$500 basis for Toyo, and $1,200-$800-$500 for Hankook. Both sponsors also contribute an additional $1,000 for a Solo Triad Award.
As valuable as the tires are, they're of little worth without a good motor to power them – and seven automobile manufacturers are supporting Solo drivers.
Mazda, the official car of SCCA, is paying out a cool grand to National Champions. Runners-up will take home $500, and a third-place finish is good for $300. Honda Performance Development, MINI, Subaru and Volkswagen also offer prizes for top-three eligible finishes. MINI and Volkswagen pay $1,000, $500 and $250 for the top-three positions, with Subaru matching the win total and paying $750 and $500 for second and third. Taking home a top-three spot in a Honda will earn a driver $500, $300 and $100, respectively. Scion and Toyota drivers can score $1,000 for a win.
Users of Mobil 1 synthetic oil, the official motor oil of SCCA, can earn $100 cash and a $50 product credit if they win and meet the requirements. A runner-up finish nets $50 in product. All eligible class winners will also be entered into a random drawing to win one of two Mobil 1 10'x20' E-Z Up instant shelters.
Grassroots Motorsports Magazine continues to offer a $100 prize to current subscribers who win and compete with the magazine's decals on the car.
Race Technology USA is supporting competitors with their video and data acquisition packages. Race Technology USA offers significant discounts on select systems and accessories for top three finishers in all classes not currently using their system, and product certificates redeemable toward parts and upgrades for podium finishers already campaigning with a Race Technology system.
Enkei Wheels supports users of their Racing Series or Tuning Series wheels in the eligible classes with $300 for a win, $200 for second and $100 for third. The company will also award a set of wheels to the registered driver in those groups that set the top PAX time in the competition, whether using Enkei Wheels or not.
Early registration, and the entry fee price break associated with it, ends on Friday, August 9, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. CST. Event registration is available through MotorsportReg.com.
For more information on these contingency programs and how to register to participate, click here. Drivers must register for contingency programs prior to competing. Program descriptions should be read carefully to ensure all requirements are met. Failure to meet any listed requirements will result in forfeiting of awards.
The Tire Rack SCCA Solo National Championships takes place in Lincoln, Neb., September 3-6. Nearly 1200 competitors are expected to be on hand for the four days of competition which will crown this year's National Champions at the largest motorsports event in the world. More information is available at SCCA.com/Solo.

Johnathon Rigsby really liked wrestling for ultra-successful Croatan, but what he liked even more — loved, in fact — was playing football.
And so while the personable 18-year-old had a college scholarship offer to wrestle, Rigsby, a.k.a., "Butterbean" to his friends and coaches, opted to play football for NCAA Division
At first, Rigsby said he wasn't sure. Then he said he "loved" the facilities at the
"I went up there and watched a game and talked to all the coaches," Rigsby said, "and I liked the program and the way they talked about it. The facilities are great. The coaching staff is amazing. I felt like I fit in there."
The 5-foot-9 1/4, 250-pound Rigsby, a three-year starting center for the East Central 2-A Conference school, said he wasn't sure where he'll play at Methodist. Not that it really matters to him.
"Wherever they need me I'll play," he said.
Rigsby considered playing football for Brevard as well as N.C. Wesleyan, but while Brevard's campus was "beautiful," it was too far away for his taste. And while he enjoyed his visit to N.C. Wesleyan, he didn't get the sense the players were all that close as a team.
"I'm not going to go somewhere you're not a team because to play football you've got to be a team and you've got to be as one," he said.
He also considered
"Don't get me wrong, I'm going to miss wrestling because I love wrestling," he said. "But without football I don't know what I would do honestly. I love football way too much. And I'm more of a team guy than an individual guy. I like playing together as one."
It didn't hurt, either, when his football and wrestling teammate, Kyle Colborn, also chose to play football for Methodist.
"We're pretty good buddies," Rigsby said. "He was strongly interested in Methodist, but he really didn't know which way to go. He really loves wrestling a whole lot more than I do. It took him awhile to pick and he picked Methodist."
As a Division
"So I'm pretty stoked," Rigsby said.
Rigsby said he likely will major in business with a minor in exercise science.
"Just so I can have two degrees in case I want to go back to
And as to whether he'll play as a freshman or how much, Rigsby said he wasn't going to "make any promises."
"But I'm not going there to sit on the bench," he said. "I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, but I'm not going there to sit and watch. I'm working really hard not to do that."

Ferguson wants Ronaldo at Man Utd if he decides to leave Real Madrid
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is keen to bring back former player Cristiano Ronaldo to the club after the Portuguese international expressed unhappiness at current club Real Madrid, and the Scott has urged club owners Glazer Family to do everything possible to sign the flamboyant forward.
Just three years ago Ronaldo joined Madrid in a world-record 80 million pound deal from United, and reports in Spain suggested Ronaldo's unhappiness is being caused by Madrid's refusal to hand him a new contract worth a staggering 500,000 pounds-a-week.
But sources close to Ronaldo have rubbished these reports, saying he has been hurt by a lack of respect from teammates, and United is ready to pounce on the opportunity.
"The manager made it clear when Ronaldo joined Real that if he ever left the -Bernabeu he should return to Old Trafford," the Daily Mail quoted a United source, as saying.
"It's a transfer that would prove that United can still compete with anyone for the biggest names in -football. But, at the moment, only Ronaldo knows whether he is serious about leaving Madrid or whether he's just having a sulk," the source added.
Ronaldo has an 800 million pound buy-out clause in his contract, but Madrid president Florentino Perez is so annoyed with the lack of respect the winger has shown, that it is believed he will consider anything in excess of 100 million pounds, the paper said.
That would really test Ferguson's claim that United's owners have never turned him down when it comes to transfer targets, it added. (ANI)
Top Headlines
no. If CR7 came to united, the glazers would never give 500,00 a week but even if they did united will probably go liquidated. I think they should go for sneijder or ozil.
i want to cristiano ronaldo back to manchester united for season 12/13.........
ronaldo, cming 2 man u will mk him win world best player again
what did the writer mean by saying that buying Ronaldo would prove that utd are still at the race to be the best? They were always there.
i believe cristiano should go back to man u, he shouldn't have left so man u should do every possible to bring him back cause thats where he play at his best
those numbers are ridiculous on many levels. the most important probably being that they're completely false. ronaldo has proved himself a great player. i wasnt a fan of him in his early old trafford years but then he got better at producing an end product and became what he is today. just a great footballer. a knob, but a great footballer. ronaldo knows he's good and that's half his problem. but i reckon all this is just him posturing for a bank breaking deal at his current club. and how long will fergie even be around? he aint gonna win with this current team the midfield is too weak.
Imagine ronaldo and RVP team work DAYUM :P!!
I want ronaldo at man u.
Ronaldo u ar welcum
Man ụtd shud buy ronaldo
Man u players need to tight up their belt and play a fast game this season if they are to win their matches.
I think signing christino ronaldo back again is a good idea

After a fortnight of Super Rugby warm-up matches some patterns have emerged that offer the promise of change.
John Kirwan was one of the greatest All Blacks and one of my favourite players. Kirwan on the one wing and Carel du Plessis on the other meant I'd always pick David Campese at fullback in what I viewed as the most lethal back three the game has produced. I still haven't changed that view more than 20 years after first being convinced the three, individually, and as a unit, had it all.
I've followed Kirwan's coaching career closely and I've always been impressed with his desire to learn new things, to embrace different languages and cultures and to immerse himself totally, at times to his detriment as his battles against depression have been as much a discussion on his coaching career, as has his rugby ability.
Kirwan has always been a believer in the game being about the ball and about creating attacking platforms. His teams, by design rather than because of any coaching limitations, have all thrilled with ball in hand but have never had the pedigree of player to back up style of play with results.
Italy was always the team closest to Kirwan after the All Blacks because he played so much of his career in Italy, married an Italian, spent much of his life between Italy and New Zealand and he embraced the Italian culture, language and lifestyle with the same enthusiasm he never denies what makes him an Aucklander.
After spells with Italy as assistant coach and head coach, Kirwan took on the challenge of Japan and they played some sensational rugby leading into the 2011 World Cup and especially at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand where the Japanese side threatened to beat France in a Pool game only to be undone in the final 10 minutes.
Kirwan's teams scored tries and played the game at a tempo that made for a spectacle. His only downfall has always been the quality of player available in selection.
He has taken on the responsibility to restore credibility to the Blues franchise and reignite Super Rugby in the region that initially dominated the competition. It is a fantastic appointment and having All Blacks World Cup winning coach Graham Henry as a support structure adds gravitas to the idealism associated with Kirwan and his youthful Blues squad.
I am not expecting the fairytale of a play-off position with the Blues but I am expecting to want to watch the side play this season. The Blues, in the two pre-season matches against the Reds and Tahs, blooded 20 previously unknowns in Super Rugby and the youngsters produced the passion and innovation for which they were selected. They lacked defensive intensity, discipline of more mature teams and could be criticised for lacking in key areas as much as blossoming in others.
But what they achieved without question was to get people talking about the Blues again. It was the first victory for Kirwan and Henry.
Jake White, with the Brumbies, adopted a similar approach. He told the youngsters he picked that talk was irrelevant as was asking the public for support. He said support was earned through performance and their Super Rugby season in 2012 would be measured by how they could increase the home crowd attendance as much as it would be by league results.
He did do his maths though and if people were starting to watch again it usually meant something good was happening on the pitch.
There is enthusiasm of a Blues campaign not suffocated with pre-season doom and there is equal energy coming from within Sydney when it comes to the Tahs. Even Campo believes there is reason to be enthusiastic and he has expressed the view of the squad being semi-final potential and with a bit of luck winning the competition in 2012.
The Blues and the Tahs have two attack-minded coaches and this should add a dimension to the tournament. White's progress with the Brumbies is a campaign within a campaign, as is Dave Rennie's challenge in sustaining, possibly even improving, what was achieved with the Chiefs in 2012.
For the Highlanders and Reds the expectations are bigger. Jamie Joseph will feel the pressure of turning promise into something with a greater punch and Ewen McKenzie, the probable successor to Robbie Deans as national coach in the next six months, will be determined to have a year more consistent with the title-winning 2011 than the injury-plagued whippings of 2012.
The Canes offer the most promise in New Zealand's conference with the only question mark still around the menace of the tight five and the depth of those asked to stoke the fires that can make this franchise red hot.
Of the South African franchises the pre-season has asked no new questions and the biggest winner in the pre-season would be the Lions who are now building the platform from which to relaunch their Super Rugby history in 2014.
It is fantastic to see the approach of the Lions and their support base has supported a process that first gives birth to a cub and then hopes for the emergence of a roaring lion.
The Stormers look the most settled in player selection and continuity of picks but they also look the most conservative and it will need a bit more adventure, of the variety produced by Western Province in last year's Currie Cup, to take them all the way in the competition.
I have picked the Sharks as my team to win the South African conference and win the tournament. I have also picked the Kings to evolve with each weekend because of the quality of the back room staff, especially the Director of Rugby Alan Solomons.
It remains disturbing but not unexpectedly so, that there remains such hatred for a squad of players who never selected themselves, never were a part of the politics that gained the Kings entry into the tournament and never asked for anything but the opportunity to play rugby.
These players are owed support for being South African players, which is not to say they will get it from within South Africa. I am guessing they'll probably be more embraced overseas if they show a willingness to play the game with flair because the only expectation should be in how they play and improve and not in how many wins they get in year one.
Those who knock them will conveniently forget the Lions won 15 out of 90 matches and went two seasons without a win. Those who knock them will also never accept that the Kings was never meant to be a Super Rugby story at the expense of the Lions.
The Kings are as much the victims as the short-term victors of SARU's administration bungling in mixing agendas of race, politics, World Cup hosting campaigns, transformation and Super Rugby participation.
The Lions, the victims in 2013, will be long-term victors because in a pressure-free environment of friendly encounters they are building a player base they never had in Super Rugby.

Reardon's resignation date
On Feb. 21, Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon announced plans to resign from office effective May 31. Reardon's decision came on the heels of an investigative series by The Herald's Scott North and Noah Haglund that exposed evidence of online harassment and surveillance of Reardon's political enemies -- a list that extends to those who cooperated in the Washington State Patrol's investigation of Reardon's use of public money. The County Council took emergency action to yank the county's tech services from Reardon's purview, and handed responsibility to Snohomish County's elected auditor, Carolyn Weikel.
The county executive said his resignation was prompted by "false and scurrilous accusations" emanating from "groups that oppose" him. Reardon never elaborated. He promised, however, to "assist the interim executive with a seamless transition into his or her new job."
The primary obstacle is an official letter of resignation that sets the appointment process in motion. As Haglund reported last week, "The absence of any such letter, two months after the resignation announcement, has left doubts about Reardon's plans."
The citizens of Snohomish County are now cast into an inane drama. The seamless transition is reduced to obfuscation. Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick, Reardon's well-regarded, potential successor, said, "I've called his office several times asking for a time to meet. Last time I ran into him on campus (a few weeks ago), he told me he would call. I realize he's very, very busy, so I'm just waiting for him to call." Sigh.
The Snohomish County League of Women Voters, the Democratic and Republican parties, and The Herald Editorial Board all have urged Reardon to resign before the May 17 filing-week deadline. Absent a truncated timeline, Reardon's appointed successor will not stand for election until 2014.
Snohomish County voters often use no-waves language -- the legacy of a political culture steeped in Scandinavian-Asian cool-headedness. As Northwesterners, we embrace Mel Blanc playing the hyper-polite Tosh from the 1940s Warner Bros. cartoon, "The Goofy Gophers." "We would be most pleased if you gave voters a choice. If you don't mind, that is."
The supposition is that do-the-right-thing logic will resonate. But as Lovick observed, "My opinion probably doesn't matter much to Aaron."
Emily Dickinson wrote, "A little Madness in the Spring/Is wholesome even for the King." Reardon could do himself enormous good by siding with the better angels.
Please resign by May 17 and send that letter. If you don't mind, that is.
Clarification: According to Snohomish County Auditor Carolyn Weikel, the county charter states that a vacancy must occur prior to the last day of filing, while the state statute declares a vacancy must occur by the first day of filing. The charter is in conflict with the state statute and in those situations the state statute rules, according to Weikel. Read: Reardon needs to resign prior to May 13th to trigger an election this year.

6 Develop a global partnership for development
Where are we?
ODA to the region has been highly erratic and was actually lower, in real per capita terms, in the late 2000s than in the early 1990s. When Iraq and the Occupied Palestinian Territory are excluded, the real ODA for the region declined by nearly half since 1990. It is also grossly insufficient to meet the special needs of Arab LDCs. However, aid from Arab donors (achieving the DAC target of 0.7 per cent of GNI) to Arab countries reached nearly 7 billion dollars in 2008. Although Arab aid came in a nonbinding way, it is only a third of the 22 billion USD aid provided by the DAC donors –most of whom are budgeting below the DAC target, often well below.
In 2007, Arab countries were able to admit 93 per cent of their non-oil exports free of duty into developed markets, which is a significant improvement over the 35 per cent they held in 1996. From their side, Arab countries have undertaken significant trade liberalization during the past decade with the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA), the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU). Eleven Arab countries are WTO members, while eight Arab countries are in the process of negotiating WTO membership.
Only one of the four qualified highly indebted poor Arab countries has reached the HIPC completion point. Considerable progress was achieved in the Arab region in the ICT sector, in particular in the Internet and mobile areas, but the Arab LDCs still lack well behind the rest of the region in these two fields.

On BlackBerry-addicted Parliament Hill, NDP press secretary Ian Capstick turns heads with his newest organizational gadget: a stack of 3 x 5 index cards held together by a black bull clip.
His Hill-issued BlackBerry was starting to annoy him. He was drowning in unreliable notes at his desk. So when he stumbled upon a simple stack of index cards in a filing cabinet one day, he tried them out.
"I started to keep a few cards in my back pocket to write press requests on," the 24-year-old says. "Soon, it evolved into a way to keep the entire day's activities in order. Now, people are pretty used to seeing it in my hand."
A month into using his new system, he found an on-line community at a blog called 43 Folders. There, the file-card-and-clip system has been dubbed the "hipster PDA."

Indian Shoes
Indian Shoes (Hardcover)
Related Editions
What do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasins...or hightops with bright orange shoelaces?
Ray Halfmoon prefers hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his Grampa. After all, it's Grampa Halfmoon who's always there to help Ray get in and out of scrapes -- like the time they are forced to get creative after a homemade haircut makes Ray's head look like a lawn-mowing accident.
This collection of interrelated stories is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny. Cynthia Leitich Smith writes with wit and candor about what it's like to grow up as a Seminole-Cherokee boy who is just as happy pounding the pavement in windy Chicago as rowing on a take in rural Oklahoma.
About the Author
Like Rain, author Cynthia Leitich Smith was raised, at least in part, in northeastern Kansas. Smith attended college in Douglas County, the home of fictional Hannesburg, and completed a journalism degree at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. During college, she worked at a few small-town newspapers as a reporter. Then she earned a law degree at the University of Michigan. Today she lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and two gray tabby cats. She's a mixed blood, enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Cynthia Smith is also the author of the picture book Jingle Dancer, which Publishers Weekly called a "heartening portrait of a harmonious meshing of old and new"In Her Own Words
I'm a mid-to-southwestern kind of gal. Growing up, I lived in the Kansas City area, on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the state line, and as I grew older, I lived in Oklahoma, Michigan, and Illinois. Today Austin, Texas, is my home.
I was an only child, whose constant companions were a dog named Sir Gahald XIII (but called "Tramp") and an array of library books.
I developed an interest in reading at an early age, and won my local public library reading contest in Grandview, Missouri, when I was in the third grade. Some of my favorite books were Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume; and Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Through reading I cultivated a desire to write, and published my first piece in the "Dear Gaby" column in the sixth-grade paper.
My interest in writing continued through high school, during which I edited the newspaper and pursued both dancing and cheerleading. After finishing high school in 1986, I went on to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. There I spent much of my time writing as a minority issues reporter for the campus newspaper and eventually completed my undergraduate studies in 1991 with a degree in journalism.
I never thought of writing and reading fiction as a viable career option, and so I finished law school in 1994, where I had been president of the Native American Law Student's Association. For a while I worked in a federal law job in Chicago, but I was bored. I decided that in order to be happy I needed to turn to something that not only mattered to me, but also affected others in a positive way. So I quit my job and embarked on a new career as a children's author
What I enjoy most about writing are the challenges. I like writing for different genres, and have so far written a picture book, a chapter book, and a middle-grade novel. Truthfully, I just want to continue improving. Once I create my characters, they begin to fashion the setting and plot around themselves. I assume very little at the beginning, and am always surprised by what I find.
I know that people often characterize my stories as "Native American" or of some similar nature and that's fine for reference purposes, but I intend for my books to go deeper than that. I try to weave real life into the stories naturally, helping me to attain my goal of offering a unique cultural and literary world through characters that laugh, cry, breathe, and, most importantly, live.
Praise for Indian Shoes…
A very pleasing first-chapter book from its funny and tender opening salvo to its heartwarming closer.
-Kirkus Reviews
Shoes is a good book for any elementary-aged reluctant reader, and a necessity for indigenous children everywhere.

This book ably springs Ray Halfmoon free from the paint-and-feathers representations of American Indians

John Mayer Biography & News
John Mayer Details
|Official site
|Singer Songwriter
About John Mayer
John Mayer collaborates with Eric Clapton
Things have been pretty quiet in the world of John Mayer since his high-profile split with Katy Perry. In fact, he's been on the road and otherwise laying low since the release of his album "Paradise Valley" in late summer 2013.
If there's one thing Mayer is well-versed in (beyond how to handle the end of paparazzi-swarmed breakups), it's life on a tour bus. He embarked on a trek to support the release of "Paradise Valley" (his first tour in three years) that ran from July to December 2013 with Interscope recording artist Phillip Phillips as the opening act. He then returned to the road in the spring of 2014 with dates in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Scandinavia.
So if you're John Mayer, what do you do to fill down time once you come off the road? You collaborate with one of the biggest names in music, that's what. The 36-year-old entertainer has lent his vocals to Eric Clapton's album, "The Breeze: An Appreciation of JJ Cale," released on July 29th. The 16-track set (in which Mayer sings on "Don't Wait") includes several previously unrecorded songs provided by Cale's widow and his manager.
Mayer also recently drew looks (and a lot of raves!) for his super fit and slimmed down appearance. The paparazzi were quick to swarm the star during a recent outing in Beverly Hills, and while there's no comment from Mayer on any new fitness regime, rumors are swirling he may be involved in an upcoming reality TV show. Truth or rumor? Stayed tuned.
Mayer retreats from the spotlight after "Born and Raised" (Updated September 6, 2013)
John Mayer has it all figured out. Who he is, where he's been and (most importantly) where he's going next. And the answers, in no uncertain terms, go something like this: A pop star who no longer wants to be a 'pop star,' nor the man who absolutely craves fame, content on simply being himself.
It's with that mindset that Mayer has truly found his ethos, and it comes at a time when the sometimes controversial musician is promoting his sixth solo album, the aptly named "Paradise Valley." The album bowed to scant fanfare this summer, which is the polar opposite of what one would (or use to) expect from Mayer, who spent the last four years living in a sort of TMZ-esque snowglobe.
It was 2012 before Mayer's 'comeback' album "Born and Raised," and his time away from the spotlight for a vocal condition that ultimately required surgery has set him back on a path where he's letting his music do all the talking. For the most part, he's traded his very un-PC jokes for low-key folk-rock tunes, including a duet with his on-again-off-again girlfriend Katy Perry called "Who You Love."
In fact, Perry's presence in Mayer's life might be the one thing keeping Mayer's name on spin-cycle in the celebrity machine. But he's clearly extricated himself from the tabloids otherwise, and is focused for now on his "Born & Raised World Tour," which began on July 6, 2013 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and will wrap in April 2014. The trek marks his first tour in three years, and the first since undergoing surgery.
Girl trouble leads to Swift' descent for John Mayer (Updated December 2012)
Once known as a sensitive, even reclusive acoustic artist, John Mayer was thrust into the spotlight by a very public ending to a private relationship with Taylor Swift. Mayer said the country-pop songstress "really humiliated" him when she penned a tune for her best-selling 2010 album "Speak Now," which was released shortly after Mayer went on an extended hiatus following controversial interviews with Rolling Stone and Playboy.
But has the press been so bad? Since 2001, Mayer has released five studio albums, starting with "Room for Squares" and culminating with "Born and Raised" in May 2012. He has sold over 10 million albums in the U.S. and more than 20 million worldwide, and has collaborated with renowned blues artists like B.B. King and Eric Clapton.
Mayer calls his third album "Continuuum" his best one, as it combined his signature sound with the feel and grove of blues music. "Waiting on the World to Change" was a smash out of the gate, becoming one of the most downloaded songs on iTunes and bowing at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. It took on a life of its own, eventually helping to nab Mayer five 2007 Grammy Awards. Another song from the project, "Gravity," was featured on the FOX television series "House" and the CBS series "Numb3rs."
Mayer has toured with many different artists and groups, including the likes of Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat, Train, Maroon 5, One Republic and many more. In 2010, he teamed up with country star Keith Urban for a CMT Crossroads concert, which led to the duo performing at the 2010 CMT Music Awards. Mayer has also been known to show up at small venues unannounced for surprise concerts. He scrapped his most recent tour after having vocal cord surgery, but recently joined the lineup for Clapton's 2013 Crossroads Guitar Festival.

Best Guitarist 'O' Faces in Rock n' Roll
Urban Dictionary defines guitar face as: "The act of making an unusual face while playing the guitar. The look typically resembles a look of pain, intense ecstacy, or sometimes even plain old gas." And TBA defines O-face as--well, I guess you can check Urban Dictionary for that one yourself. But what happens when you combine guitar face…Read more

USA Today
A coalition of oil and food industry groups filed a petition with the Supreme Court Thursday asking it to overturn a lower court decision that said they didn't have standing to sue over a federal decision to allow more ethanol in fuel.API and the Grocery Manufacturers Association were joined by groups representing the meat, pork and chicken industries in the petition because of the effect increased use of corn for fuel has on the prices the food industry has to pay for feed and raw materials. Corn is used in the production of ethanol.The groups also claim EPA approved E15 before testing by the oil and auto industries had been completed. Earlier industry testing showed E15 could damage engines and cause vehicles that use it to break down. The groups say that's true even in the 2001 and

Meet Stan Janik and Tracy Hollifield — two dads who made the decision to leave the job market to stay at home with the kids. For one, it was an abrupt change. For the other, it was a gradual transformation to 'Mr. Mom.' But each have adapted to their new roles, as have their wives, who now play the role of primary bread-winner. See page 3D to read their stories on stay-at-home fatherhood.
Learning the at-home parenting ropes
Tracy Hollifield decided he'd be the one to stay home with his daughter after he lost his job at a TV news station when it made cuts.
Hollifield had been working in TV news for about 10 years as a videographer and had been thinking of finding something else.
When he lost his job, he decided to take some money out of his 401(k), buy a camera and some software and start Track One Productions out of his Belmont home. The company provides web videos for businesses.
For the first few years, it was easy to find work, so he and his wife both juggled work with taking care of their daughter, Taylor. His wife, Janice, worked part time as a nurse at the Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte.
When his wife started working full time about two years ago, Hollifield started doing more of the stay-at-home role.
"I picked up jobs when I could, and slowly it's like, 'Hey, I'm Mr. Mom,'" Hollifield said.
They now have two daughters and a son. Taylor is 10. Reagan is 7. Spencer is 4.
During the school year, Taylor and Spencer are at school, leaving Hollifield to watch after Spencer while trying to squeeze in some work. It's not too hard when it's just Spencer since he can become absorbed in play.
"When (my daughters) are here, it's a little harder," Hollifield said. "It's rare that five minutes go by and there's not a fight."
He knew that being a stay-at-home parent wasn't just sitting in front of the TV folding clothes.
"You don't stop. There are days when I didn't get any work done because it's T-ball, swimming lessons and, when school is in, I take them and pick them up, either fixing something to eat or it's time to go somewhere," Hollifield said. "I didn't realize how busy it was until I had to do it."
Hollifield said he's also become quite the cook in the last few years, dealing with three picky eaters.
He's had a couple opportunities to go back to work, but Hollifield said it's not worth it. He's invested time and money into Track One Productions, and the family would have to pay for day care for Spencer.
Hollifield's son is starting to get interested in the same things Hollifield liked when he was little — after two years of playing Barbies and tea parties.
During the days when he's out shooting video, he'll come home and realize he misses his kids.
"If I worked a normal job, that's how it would be," Hollifield said. "I couldn't do that."
His advice for new dads choosing to be the caregiver?
"Stick to a schedule … Especially during the school year. We get up at this time. We have to be out the door at this time. And that's the biggest thing. You've just got to set them on a schedule and stick to it," Hollifield said. "And I've had to learn to be a little bit more patient. They're going to fight. You've got to learn to not let it get to you."
Taking on an unexpected role
Stan Janik's decision to become a stay-at-home dad couldn't have come at a better time.
Janik had just accepted a promotion at a division of AIG and his wife, Amy, was a registered nurse with a dialysis company when their first child was born.
The couple planned for Amy to stay at home. At the time, they lived in southern New Jersey.
When it came time for Amy to turn in her notice, her boss came to her with a boost in salary to tempt her because she was too valuable to the company.
The two discussed it and decided they might trade places.
"Obviously I had some anxiety about it because we had planned for her to stay home," Janik said.
Janik went to his boss in August 2008 and told him he was going to resign to become a stay-at-home dad. The company couldn't match the pay raise his wife received, so Janik turned in his notice.
Two weeks later, AIG had a meltdown and the whole division Janik was working with was liquidated.
"I got real religious after that," Janik said. "We looked at each other after that. We would have had a newborn baby and we both would have been out of a job."
The two decided to move to Gaston County to be closer to Amy's family. They live in Cramer Woods and she runs a national dialysis call center for nurses.
"So, since Alayna's been born, I've been a stay-at-home dad," Janik said.
Alayna is 5 and their son, Zach, is 3.
At first, Janik said it was awkward being the only guy at the playground.
"The hardest thing — it wasn't anything to do with the kids. It was the feeling of being inferior. You would go to places and everybody would ask you, 'So, Stan, what do you do for a living?'" Janik said.
He learned how to do household chores quickly. He became a good cook in the last five years.
Still, losing the status was hard. Janik worked as a commercial property underwriter and took pride in being able to say he did underwriting in 30 states. It wasn't easy at first to explain that he traded a corporate job to stay home.
"They're like, 'What happened to you," Janik said. "It was probably more myself (being insecure). 'Stan, where in life did you fail and become a stay-at-home dad?'"
Janik doesn't think that way anymore. He sees this as a benefit. He's 40, and worked for AIG for 12 years, so he knows the corporate work. Now he knows what it's like to be the one caring for the kids, too.
"The best part is just being around. I got to see their first steps. Seeing their first time in a pool. First words. First time walking," Janik said. "It's so neat. I'm not sure if I'm going to be the one crying when (Alayna) goes to kindergarten next year."
When Alayna was an infant, no one gave him funny looks when he took her into the restroom to change a diaper. When she got a little older, Janik said he found himself talking aloud: "OK, Daddy's going to take you into the men's room."
He's not sure if he did that to make himself feel more comfortable or to put others at ease.
His advice for new dads who might be trading work for childcare?
"Don't be so hard on yourself," Janik said. "If you have problems accepting your role — don't. Nobody's worrying about it. Just like new moms, you'll figure it out.

Stearman PT-17 (Model 75) 'Kaydet'
Courtesy of Sam Spencer and J.M. Spencer
Introduced in 1934, the "Kaydet" was built by the Stearman Aircraft Division of Boeing in Wichita, Kansas. Despite its aged design, it proved to be a successful trainer for novice U.S. Army Air Corps and Navy pilots, as well as U.S. allies, during World War II due to its simple and rugged construction. When production ended in 1944 nearly 8,600 Kaydets, in all versions had been built, plus enough spare parts to construct another 2,000 aircraft.
Once the war was over, thousands of surplus planes were sold on the civilian market and, with the Kaydet's flying characteristics and capabilities, became popular as crop dusters, sport planes, and for use in aerobatics at air shows. Many Kaydets are still in use today and remain a popular sport plane.
The Museum's airplane, built in 1941, is finished in the same color scheme and markings as it appeared during its service from 1943-45 at Tuskegee Army Airfield, Alabama, the principal training facility for Black airmen during World War II.
