The state government's much-touted Rs10-crore Dr Zakir Hussain madrassa modernisation scheme has turned out to be a damp squib. Launched by the Congress-NCP government in September 2013 amid fanfare, the scheme fell flat on its face as not a single madrassa received the grant and the Rs10 crore allocated for it lapsed with the financial year ending on March 31, 2014.
Government officials blamed the model code of conduct, but sources said the minority and finance ministry officials are responsible for derailing the scheme which would have led to a makeover of Islamic seminaries. The ministry received 400 proposals from Islamic seminaries for modernisation till January first week of which 200 were shortlisted. But the file did not move from the minority ministry to the finance ministry till mid-February. By the time the finance ministry gave its nod, the Lok Sabha polls were announced and the model code of conduct came into effect. The Election Commission denied permission to the ministry to disburse the grant.
"The lapse was because of the delay by the finance ministry and the code of conduct. The 200 madrassas will be funded this year. Also, there is a proposal to fund more madrassas this year," said minority development minister Naseem Khan. However, Shabbir Ansari, who heads the Muslim OBC Sanghatna, said the government has cheated Muslims again. "It's shocking that a massive amount of Rs10 crore lapsed and the madrassas were kept waiting because of the tedious bureaucratic procedure. This exposes the lack of seriousness of the ruling parties when it comes to implementing schemes... they also failed to implement the 15-point Pradhanmantri Programme except for the scholarship which too is badly handled," he said.
Under the madrassa modernisation scheme, each Islamic seminary was eligible to get Rs5 lakh aid apart from linking it to the mainstream education system. The aid aimed at introducing the teaching of maths, science, languages and social sciences besides the regular Islamic education. The scheme would provide Rs2 lakh for infrastructure (drinking water, labs, toilets) and Rs50,000 for a library to each institution. The government would additionally spend Rs2.5 lakh for the salary of three teachers in each madrassa.
There is no clarity on when the madrassas would get the money as this year's funds for the scheme are yet to come. The Shiv Sena-BJP which had dubbed the scheme as an "appeasement policy" slammed the state government for its failure to implement it successfully. The madrassas which applied for aid are doing the rounds of Mantralaya since March, but officials remain evasive. "It seems all the paper work, time and energy have gone in vain. No one is ready to answer what happened to the scheme," lamented a maulvi from a Thane seminary. "The government has fooled us," said a teacher at a madrassa.
Over 1.48 lakh Muslim students are currently enrolled in 1,889 madrassas across Maharashtra, according to the directorate of minorities and adult education. All madrassas are run by "zakaat" (donation) given by Muslims during Ramzan. Muslims usually donate 2.5 per cent of their annual savings during the holy month for the welfare of people.

FRANKLIN FURNACE, Ohio – During the last decade, the Green Bobcats have found very little success on the gridiron.
Green has only had one winning record since the turn of the new millennium (a 6-4 mark in 2005) and has not made a playoff appearance since 1990.
With the struggles of the football program, the Bobcats are hoping a change in philosophy will garner different results.
Ted Newsome, a man whose name has long been synonymous in the Southern Ohio region as he spent many years coaching linemen for the Portsmouth Trojans (where he coached two Division I prospects in Gerald Cadogan and Nate Cadogan) and then coached with the West Senators in 2013, was tabbed to be the next head man of the Bobcats back in March of this year.
Newsome has hit the ground running in Franklin Furnace as he has served in many different capacities beside drawing up the Xs and Os.
According to Newsome, he serves as a "part-time equipment manager, a part-time medic, and a full-time position coach at two or three spots" in addition to the head-coaching duties that the first-year coach has had to fulfill with the Bobcats.
Newsome has not let that work load stop him as he has managed to etch his own offensive scheme into the minds and hearts of the Green football players, as the Flexbone offense will replace the Shotgun and I-formation looks that the Bobcats showed throughout the 2013 season.
In addition to the new offense that Green will be displaying for the upcoming season, the Bobcats will have to find a new leader to orchestrate the run-heavy formation. That leader will come in the form of Ryan Gaffney, who will replace the departing Clay Applegate at quarterback.
"We're going to be a triple-option football team, and we have a lot of good leaders that can lead our football team," Newsome said. "As the leader under center, however, (Gaffney's) going to be our guy. I liken him to a point guard in that he's going to be expected to get the right play in the huddle and make the right read."
The man that will be backing him up, however, will have multiple duties on his plate as Tyler Darnell will not only serve as a second-string quarterback, but also as the backup fullback and as a backup wing back in addition to his obligations as a starting wide receiver and corner back.
"(Darnell) epitomizes high school football players," Newsome said. "He's a sophomore, and he plays five different positions in practice every day. "He does it all with the greatest attitude, smiles the whole time, has a great work ethic, and he accepts his role on this football team."
Returning letter-men Wyatt Blevins and Kanyon Bruton will start at the fullback and the first of two A-back positions, respectively, while Brody Stormes, who will be one of a dozen first-year letter men for the Bobcats this season, is expected to be the starter at the second of the two A-back slots.
With Darnell starting at one wide receiver position, it is expected that Alex Otworth, a senior, and Braydon Bush, a sophomore, will split time at the receiver slot opposite Darnell.
Peyton Armstrong will return to spearhead the offensive line from the center position while Trevor Carver and Bryce Salyers will be starting at the guard and tackle positions to the right side of the 6-foot-1-inch, 260-pound sophomore.
On the left side, Justin Woodrow will fill the left guard slot while Nick Sexton will serve as the bookend to the left side of the line at the tackle position. Behind them, Tyler Johnson, Cam Salyers, and Tyler Imes can play multiple positions on the line and could rotate in and out of the lineup over the course of the season.
Defensively, Sexton and Otworth have emerged out of camp to take both of the starting defensive end slots in Newsome's 4-4 alignment, while Armstrong will start at one of the two defensive tackle positions. However, Woodrow, Johnson, Cam Salyers, and Dakota Martin are entrenched in an ongoing battle to land the second starting defensive tackle slots.
Green's back seven will consist of Carver and Bryce Salyers at the inside linebacker positions while Blevins and Stormes will be at the outside linebacker slots. Bush is expected to help at either inside or outside linebacker. In the secondary, Gaffney will join Darnell at the corner-back spots while Bruton will be the lone safety out on the field for the Bobcats.
Newsome is more interested in watching his players develop as opposed to talking about the expectations for the upcoming season.
"We are in a situation where we aren't where we need to be yet physically," Newsome said. "The work ethic's there, and the commitment is there, but we're not there yet physically with our bodies. We've gotten in the weight room, we've had good attendance, the kids have gotten stronger, and we've grown every week, but we're still climbing that mountain. However, the commitment and effort is there because they have bought into the program."

Dominic Green was born some time ago. He remembers when telephones were attached to the wall with cables. As a child, he was lied to by magazines that told him he would be living on the Moon in the year 2000 wearing silver rocket boots. People have been publishing science fiction by him since 1996, ha! The fools. In 2006, he was nominated for a Hugo Award for his story, The Clockwork Atom Bomb. He is married and has a severe case of cats (though as a child, he had a particularly severe case of Dog, and has nothing against dogs as a result).

The story seamlessly unfolds from the previous books and engages you right from the beginning. The introduction of relationships between some of the secondary characters elevates this to a new height, and I literally couldn't put it down. It would be a good place to end the series, but I really hope that he doesn't.

Design Gallery
MFA Exhibition: Emily L.R. Adams, Cory Allen Linsmeyer, and Elizabeth Prose
Thursday May 7 – Friday, May 22, 2015
Opening Reception Thursday May 7, 2015 from 6-9 p.m.
A World in Need of Beauty
This exhibition features the cumulative portfolio work of Emily L. R. Adams' graduate studies in textile pattern design. A World In Need Of Beauty features designs that challenge and contrast the contemporary commercial textile market. Adams' research explores underground and sub-culture lifestyles that are evident in her unique aesthetic with a style that can be described as gritty, raw, and street smart. The development of this design work is neatly packaged under the branding of Lou Land Underground. To see the entire online portfolio, please visit loulandunderground.com.
Cory Allen Linsmeyer
Horse Power
Dark, mysterious, magical, powerful: these are the words that have inspired Cory Allen Linsmeyer's thesis exhibition Horse Power. Linsmeyer has not simply made a menswear collection; he has created an entire sensory experience around the theme of personal empowerment. Through a multi-media exhibition, and collection of garments, he has created a dialogue about modern masculinity. Redefining what masculine looks like through innovative and diverse garments for the contemporary man, and illustrating how power feels through video and installation.
Elizabeth Prose
Caught in the Wake
Caught in the Wake investigates labor and identity through craft in art, materials, process, and pattern. The making is an act of reconciling of the past with the present through an exploration of embedded memory in the garments we wear, and how this relates to constructed identity and sense of self, and reconstruction of identity after loss or abandonment. Inspired by the poem Ask Me by William Stafford, Prose created a two-part installation. She hand cut and sewed a river of interlocking blue shirt collars. Gazing down on The River is The Sea, a crowd of knitted, crocheted, and embroidered faces and masks hallow eyes staring back at The River in contemplation, as witness. Together, we can listen to "what the river says". This exhibition is made possible in part by scholarships from the Jean Alford Myers Award Fund and the Design Studies Graduate Funding Committee, and by generous donations from the Madison, WI knitting community. For more information about Prose, and her work, please visit www.elizabethprose.com/.

Dozens of members of a clan whose leaders are on trial for the Philippines' worst political massacre are candidates in 2013 elections, some for the president's party, media and rights groups said November 23. The revelations sparked outrage on the three-year anniversary of the massacre, in which 58 people died, with critics saying the Ampatuan family's enduring political influence underlined the country's 'culture of impunity'.

Well, I've always wanted an underground lair. Luckily, I've found one that looks more pastoral than evil and gloomy. Made of concrete and earth, this Swiss estate is a cluster of grass-blanketed houses encircling a pretty little lake.
According to Inhabitat, aside from using natural and recycled materials and having a green roof, the structure was built using typical earth house construction, resulting in an insulating blanket that protects it from rain, low temperatures, wind and natural abrasion.
Though it might not look like it, there are actually nine houses pictured here surrounding a lake – some that even boast seven bedrooms. I am dying to see what it looks like on the inside.

Cisco Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with 4 port Switch, Refurbished - Refurbished - WRT300N-RM
Learn more about Cisco Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with 4 port Switch, Refurbished:
|The Wireless-N Broadband Router is really three devices in one box. First, there's the Wireless Access Point, which lets you connect to the network without wires. There's also a built-in 4-port full-duplex 10/100 Switch to connect your wired-Ethernet devices together. Finally, the Router function ties it all together and lets your whole network share a high-speed cable or DSL Internet connection.
The Access Point built into the Router uses the very latest wireless networking technology, Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections up to 4 times farther than standard Wireless-G.
With Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the router can increase the throughput even more by using twice as much radio band, yielding speeds up to 12 times as fast as standard Wireless-G. But unlike other speed-enhanced technologies, Wireless-N can dynamically enable this double-speed mode for Wireless-N devices, while still connecting to other wireless devices at their respective fastest speeds. In congested areas, the "good neighbor" mode ensures that the Router checks for other wireless devices in the area before gobbling up the radio band.
To help protect your data and privacy, the Router can encode all wireless transmissions with industrial-strength 256-bit encryption. It can serve as your network's DHCP Server, has a powerful SPI firewall to protect your PCs against intruders and most known Internet attacks, and supports VPN pass-through. Configuration is a snap with the web browser-based configuration utility.
The incredible speed of Wireless-N makes it ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and Voice over IP telephony, and gives you plenty of headroom to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance. With the Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router at the center of your home or office network, you can share a high-speed Internet connection, files, printers, and multi-player games, and run media-intensive applications at faster than 10/100 wired network speeds, without the hassle of stringing wires!
Customer Reviews of Cisco Linksys Wireless-N Broadband Router with 4 port Switch, Refurbished
Linksys WRT300N-RM3/18/2009
Minus the Gigabit LAN I would say this is an excellent router for the price if you plan to use it as a router. I only needed it to use as an Access Point since my TrendNet AP was not getting the job done. I flashed my new Linksys WRT300N-RM with dd-wrt right out of the box and configured for an AP. It's been about 3 weeks and it has not dropped a connection yet. IMO if you upgrade the firmware with dd-wrt you can't go wrong for $54
Still Slightly Defective3/16/2009
The wireless works great (mostly). But Still posesses one of the problems common to Linksys routers; the problem of constantly crashing after extended periods of time or heavy load. I fixed this by using DD-Wrt sp2. I get N speeds no problem now. The Ethernet ports on mine do not correctly work (using wireless only anyways). Overall a decent value but I think I'll go with Netgear next time.
Very poor wireless output signal.3/13/2009
My wireless PC is 20 feet away and can barely get a signal. I have been in contact with Linksys using there Chat sessions three times and nothing can make it work any better. My last router was a cheap trendnet 802.11g and it's signal blew this one away using the same PC. I don't know if they are all this bad but the one I got does not work, defective product. Hope this helps someone.
Good wireless router.10/24/2008
I just return 2 weeks old Airlink 108G router back to Fr*s Electronic and find this Linksys WRT300N Refurbit only 49.**. so I bought it and wow works like a charm, no problem, setup just like other brand 192.168.1.1 admin then you are in control. I owned Trenet TEW 432 B/G, 2WIRE 1800HP B/G, Airlink 430W, Linksys befw11s4. But this is the best, range far bester, not too hot like Trendnet or Airlink and hope last longer than 2WIRE.

Fatal Accident in Lexington, Kentucky Reports Driver Had Learner's Permit-Kentucky wrongful death attorney
Date: April 27, 2009
Location: Lexington, Kentucky
Type: Driver with restricted learner's permit involved in an accident that claimed the life of another teen.
Monday evening in Lexington, Kentucky 17-year-old Nicolas Petit-Frere drove the car that crashed on Russell Cave Road. Petit-Frere should not have been behind the wheel without a licensed adult in the passenger seat, Lexington police said. One student died and three others were injured, including the driver.
Police investigating the accident feel that Petit-Frere may have been driving faster than the posted speed limit of 55, however it could be weeks before they are able to determine how fast the car was going. Police also report Petit-Frere was driving a white Toyota Camry outbound on Russell Cave between Faulkner Avenue and Interstate 75 when it swung into the inbound lane, then went back into the outbound lane, struck a rock wall and hit a tree head-on.

Under Kentucky's graduated license law, permit holders must be accompanied by a licensed adult over 21. The law also prohibits permit holders from driving with more than one unrelated person under age 20 — a measure created to limit distractions for young drivers. The graduated driver's license law, passed in 2006, also requires that teens hold a permit for six months before obtaining an intermediate license. They must have a clean driving record for six months while holding the intermediate driver's license before they are issued a driver's license.

Bright Blooms That Glow
Certain flowers fluoresce, giving off a spooky light.
By Emily Sohn, 00:00 AM September 16, 2005
The screaming pinks, blazing oranges, neon reds and acid greens of many posters and signs owe their brightness to the way those materials are affected by light.
The secret to these bright colors is called fluorescence. A material, such as a pigment, fluoresces if it absorbs light of a certain wavelength and then, in turn, gives off light of a longer wavelength. For example, it might absorb ultraviolet light (black light), which is invisible to the human eye, and give off an eerie, greenish gl...

About Swinburne Image Bank
Swinburne Image Bank provides access to selected digital images from various Swinburne Collections. At present there are over 6000 items available online.
Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to enquire about contribution.
Swinburne Image Bank was first created in 2004 and officially launched by the Vice-Chancellor of Swinburne University of Technology, Professor Ian Young, on 23 April 2009. It began as an initiative to manage and provide central access to the thousands of images documenting university life and history that Swinburne has amassed over the past century.
Since 2004 the collection has been continually growing. Significant contributions to the collection include the digitisation of thousands of photographs that had appeared in past issues of the Swinburne Newsletter, and regular contributions by Swinburne's in-house photographer, who took photographs for Swinburne publications and to document events.
Swinburne Image Bank provides a means of managing Swinburne photographs and images and providing online access to them for multiple purposes, including teaching, research, marketing, displays of artworks and documentation of university life and history.
Users of the collection are likely to be particularly interested in a wide range of photographs illustrating the learning and teaching of the then college - art, carpentry, chemistry and science, commercial (e.g. typing), domestic science, engineering and trades, and other studies. There are many other studies over the period - cake decorating (1954), astronomy (1960s), blacksmithing (1937) and dressmaking (1915).
Swinburne Image Bank is a work in progress with new images being continually added to the database.
Swinburne Image Bank also includes archival video footage capturing the living history of Swinburne and the people associated with it. Videos are also available for viewing on Swinburne Commons, YouTube and iTunes U.
All of the images in Swinburne Image Bank are harvested by Trove, an initiative of the National Library of Australia to provide online access to images that cover all aspects of Australiana. Swinburne Image Bank began having its images harvested by the service in February 2004.

DA earmarks P500M for hybrid rice program
popular .
The Department of Agriculture is allocating P500 million for programs that will encourage more farmers to plant hybrid rice varieties, as the government moves to attain national rice sufficiency by the end of the year.
According to Agriculture Secretary Proceso J. Alcala, P200 million will be spent this year while the remaining P300 million will be invested in 2014. The target is to increase hybrid rice utilization and hectarage by eight to 10 percent by 2014 from only 3.5 percent last year.
Alcala explained that the DA, under its national rice program, would continue to promote both private and public hybrids, particularly those developed by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) through the establishment of more technology-demonstrations farms in top rice-producing provinces.
The promotion of hybrid rice is an integral part of the Food Staples Sufficiency Program (FSSP), the Aquino administration's banner food security program that aims to attain sufficiency in rice and major staples like white corn, root crops and plantains.
Under the FSSP, the DA aims to produce a record harvest of 20 million tons (MT), up 11 percent from last year's output of 18 million MT. At 20 million MT, the Philippines will attain self-sufficiency in rice, Alcala said.
"We are on track to achieving sufficiency in rice by the end of 2013," Alcala stressed.
In the meantime, PhilRice director Eufemio Rasco Jr. said the goal of increasing hybrid rice utilization by as much as 10 percent in 2014 was attainable, as PhiRice-developed mestizo hybrids could produce up to 12 tons per hectare, under favorable conditions and proper farm management.
For this year, the DA plans to expand the area planted to hybrids by 72 percent to 284,400 hectares, from last year's 164,787 hectares, added Agriculture Assistant Secretary Dante Delima. Last year's hybrid rice hectarage represented 3.5 percent of the country's total harvested area of 4.69 million hectares.
In 2014, the hybrid rice hectarage will be expanded further to 388,000 hectares, said Delima, who also serves as the DA national rice program coordinator.
Delima urged private seed producers to actively participate in the P400-million 'Sikat-Saka' credit program, and encourage qualified farmers, particularly those belonging to irrigators' associations in top 20 rice producing provinces, to plant hybrids.
Sikat-Saka was piloted last year in four major rice provinces of Nueva Ecija, Isabela, Iloilo and North Cotabato. It will be expanded this year to include 16 other top rice producers, said Delima. These include Ilocos Norte, Cagayan, Pangasinan, Pampanga, Tarlac, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Camarines Sur, Leyte, Negros Occidental, Capiz, Bukidnon, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao and Zamboanga del Sur.

If you've ever crocheted (or knit) a baby afghan, please tell us how long it took you to make it; explain what you think is an acceptable time frame for expecting to complete the entire baby afghan from start to finish. It would also be helpful to know the skill level of your pattern-- i.e. easy, or advanced.
For those who are wondering how long their afghan will take to complete, these answers could help to give you an approximate idea. Keep in mind that everyone's time frame will vary.
never too early-never too late!
- I like to have an afghan or two ready to go at all times,you never know when you'll need a gift. I also like to have the option of just adding the last few edging rows or some other personalizing touches like flowers,bows or something to make it gender friendly. If it is a special project, Add 2 weeks to whatever time you think you will need to allow for life and all its follies to get in your way. When you're done you will either be glad for the time or you can pat yourself on the back for coming in with time to spare!

giant granny
- My first crochet project was a a Christmas present for my mother. I chose to do one big granny square since I had read this was the easiest pattern. So I searched the internet for directions on how to do all the stitches and started on the project. I was very surprised when I was finished in only one week! The finished size was about 30 square feet using a size j hook and worsted weight yarn. And I only spent a few hours each night after my 8 month old was in bed, and I was so happy with the first one that I started another the very next day for my daughter! I think I've found my new hobby with crochet!

How soon? Depends..
- It really depends on your skill level and the pattern that you have chosen. I like to make baby afghans in the shape of stars and since I have made so many, it takes me a week or so to finish them. If its a complicated pattern, or you are unsure, start yesterday :)
- —Guest Jessica
Sooner than you think
- I once started a rather complicated afghan (one piece, with bobble stitches for little balls that the baby could hold, about 4' sq, if memory serves). It was to be a Christmas gift. I started it just before Thanksgiving, and worked on it nonstop until Christmas. Seriously. Nonstop. I'd make it on the way to work, on bus trips, and every waking moment when I wasn't at work, and finally got it done two days before Christmas. I wished, so badly, that I'd thought ahead and started in October...
- —Guest Katie M
How long to crochet afghan
- My average time to complete a baby afghan is about a month.
- —Guest Novella
When to Starty Working on Baby Afghan?
- I like to allow myself three months to complete a baby afghan. I like to make different afghans, and I find that a lot of times the afghan directions have errors in them. For some reason, it seems like baby afghan patterns have more mistakes than full-size afghan patterns. I wonder if they have not actually been tried and this is the reason why. Anyway, I like fancy afghans for babies and use intricate patterns which seem to take quite some time. Also, if I don't like the pattern as I'm crocheting, I still have time to start another one if I give myself three months. I prefer to make afghans that are crib size and can be used throughout the baby's life up to a lap blanket as an adult. If you buy good quality yarn and do good crocheting, the recipient can use the finished product their entire life.
- —Guest debbiejonathan
How long to give yourself...
- I have been crocheting for almost 20 years, and work third shift at a motel where I can bring my piece with me. Of course it depends on what level of difficulty I am working on. For instance I love making the Sunshine baby blanket (redheart.com) it takes me about 3-4 nights.
- —Guest Jennifer
- a week or two, but i have been crocheting 36 years,the pattern used, the size of hooks, the weight of the yarn,how many uninterupted hours u have,i was allowed on my switchboard job on third shift to crochet too, so third shift in a hospital, u wont get over 3 dozen calls in a night,so i got paid to crochet and run my job, that was nice,i am an experienced crocheter but if i tackle a really hard pattern, i would allow more than two weeks,and it depends too if u really love to crochet, it would take patience u have to, to stick with it, some girls i have taught had not the patience to learn, some learned really fast and within a few rows of finishing a simple afghan, she threw it down in disgust, and never tried again,so it depends om many different things .once i tried a pattern that was very hard, it took me six weeks to make a baby afghan, a sweater, cap,booties,i worked on it a few hours a day, it was special for a new grandbaby.
- —Guest beverly beckham
Time for Baby Afghan
- Depending on the difficulty of the pattern I try to start at least a month before I plan on giving it to the new mom. I have an old standby pattern that only takes me a couple of days to work up but there are some that I have done that took me well over a month working full time on it.
- —Guest Valerie
Baby afghan
- Depends on the pattern. If it's your first start about a month early.
- —Guest Beverly
Babby Afghans-Length in Making
- It all depends on the type of stitch, the size of afghan, the hook, and type of yarn. If you crochet afghans it's a matter of time you have to do the afghan. Not all are easy, intermediate or difficult. You do a pattern because you love the pattern and you think the mother will love it. You make baby afghans so they can passed on to loved ones in the family like their siblings. My favorite is one from Mary Maxim's that looks like a star with baby rainbow colors that only took me a weekend to make. I received so many compliments that I continued making that pattern because you normally get square or rectangular ones as gifts. Anyone who takes the time to make them my crochet hook tilted you! :)
- —Guest Teri1017
it depends on pattern
- I make baby afghans for charity fairly often, so when I do, I usually use something very easy like double crochet or granny square or V stitch. With those stitches, I can usually do one in a few weeks. Now I'm making one for a friend using shell stitch, and it's taking me way longer, going on a month!
- —TammyP1
baby afghan time
- The last baby afghan I made was for a friend's baby shower. I was told about it about 2 weeks before it was to happen and I made a giant granny square about 36" square. I used jamie twinkle for it and it took me about 2-3 days using a size g hook.
- —juli1961
Baby afghan?
- I also do not make baby afghans, i'd rather make something my child can enjoy all their lives. It is easy to take any pattern and make it bigger. So I make throw-sized - depending on when I feel like it's long enough to snuggle with even into adulthood. They are a little big to wrap a baby in, but they are still good for the crib, or as a playing surface. I usually give myself 3 months to complete an afghan, depending on the size, and to allow time if i get busy and have to put it down for a while. Plus, I don't feel rushed. When timing an afghan, there really are some key factors- how fast you are, the complexity of the pattern, and how much time you have to spend on it. My husband's grandma can do afghans in a week that would take me months.

Rebels aren't satisifed with bare minimum
Ole Miss has already locked up a bowl berth with three games left in the regular season and has a game it should win easily this Saturday when the Rebels host Troy in their final non-conference game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. (November 12, 2013, Page 6)
Rebels a healthier team with Arkansas looming
The good news for the Ole Miss football team is that two straight wins, including one over a top-10 team at the time, have erased the bad taste of a midseason swoon. The bad news is that the momentum of those victories may have been halted with the season's second open date last week. (November 5, 2013, Page 6)
Ritter's 'dream' comes true against Tigers
Andrew Ritter envied Josh Lambo.
A week prior to Ole Miss' matchup with LSU, Ritter, the Rebels' senior place-kicker, watched Lambo trot out on the field with the score tied at 38 and boot a game-winning field goal as time ran out to send Texas A&M to a three-point victory over Ole Miss. (October 21, 2013, Page 1B)
Manziel rallies Aggies, again, past Rebels
For a few minutes, it looked as if Ole Miss wouldn't have to deal with Johnny Manziel. But Ole Miss did, and the reigning Heisman Trophy winner turned a game in the balance into a case of déjà vu for the Rebels. (October 14, 2013, Page 1B)
No. 1 Crimson Tide shuts down Rebels
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Different year, same result.
Alabama tailbacks T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake combined to run for 220 yards and two touchdowns, and the top-ranked Crimson Tide continued their dominance over Ole Miss with a 25-0 victory over the No. 21 Rebels Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium. (September 30, 2013, Page 1B)
NOTES: Offensive production depends on QB
On the surface, Ole Miss' offense was highly productive against Southeast Missouri. How much the offense produced, though, depended greatly on who was under center. (September 9, 2013, Page 1B)
In the season of hope, here's five realities of Ole Miss football
COLUMN: August nears, and optimism reigns. College football is never more popular in the drowsiest of the summer months, if only because fans starved for the game begin hoping and explaining away potential problems about their team with a litany of best case scenarios.

Kickoff for the ESPN-broadcast game is set for 8:15 p.m. (more…) (September 15, 2012)
Rebels strike gold against UTEP
Prior to the season, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze was asked what his thoughts were on the Rebels playing host to perennial power Texas during Week 3.
Without skipping a beat, Freeze replied "Are we 2-0?"
As it turns out, the Rebels are.
Saturday, Ole Miss overcame a third-quarter lull to remain undefeated with a 28-10 victory over UTEP. (September 10, 2012, Page 1B)

Want to be retweeted? Large scale analytics on factors impacting retweet in Twitter network

Retweeting is the key mechanism for information diffusion in Twitter. It emerged as a simple yet powerful way of disseminating information in the Twitter social network. Even though a lot of information is shared in Twitter, little is known yet about how and why certain information spreads more widely than others.
In this paper, we examine a number of features that might affect retweetability of tweets. We gathered content and contextual features from 74M tweets and used this data set to identify factors that are significantly associated with retweet rate. We also built a predictive retweet model. We found that, amongst content features, URLs and hashtags have strong relationships with retweetability. Amongst contextual features, the number of followers and followees, as well as the age of the account, seem to affect retweetability, while, interestingly, the number of past tweets does not predict retweetability of a user's tweet. We believe that this research would inform the design of sensemaking and analytics tools for social media streams.

Excellent book…..riveting and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Five people and a service dog head out to camp by a river in Minnesota. Anna Pigeon who is with them, is a Park Ranger back in Colorado. All the people she is with are her friends and a unique group of friends they are. Heath is a paraplegic confined to a wheel chair. The service dog, Wily is hers. Leah is a mechanical engineer who specializes in designing camping gear to be used by the physically disabled. And each have their daughter with them. Elizabeth 17, Heath's daughter and Leah's daughter, Katie, 14. This is a "shakedown cruise" for Heath to use new camping equipment Leah has recently updated. After getting unpacked and set up, Anna decides to take one of the canoes out on the river for a solitary time. While she is gone, 4 men go into the camp and take the 4 women hostage…..they are a violent group of guys and they make that very apparent immediately. The 4 women keep their quiet about having another person in the camp. Thankfully, Anna hears loud angry words shouted before she gets back to the camp and realizes something is wrong. She parks her canoe and sneaks up on the camp and sees what is happening. After that, you cannot turn the pages fast enough. It is the story of the 4 men trying to get the 4 women, one in a wheelchair, through the woods to an air strip 6 1/2 miles away to wait for an airplane to come get them. Anna follows them and the story really gets exciting.

Our five year old son has always been very laid back and calm. Lately he has been acting out more with, "I can't hear you," and turning his head. He often just won't listen or comply and pushes back about the silliest things. It's usually just with us the parents, but lately have heard a few comments from the preschool as they have never had this behavior with him. No, there is nothing new, no changes, nothing different that would indicate a change. Is this normal growing pains for his age? Is there something, or some strategies, that work best here?
From: Lucy, Foxboro, MA
Hi Lucy,
I wonder if some adult in his life -- babysitter, grandparent, playmate's parent -- uses the "I can't hear you" strategy as a form of discipline? Because what he's doing sure sounds like mimicry. One way to address it is to remind him of the rules of the family: "In our family, the rule is, we say please and thank you. In our family, the rule is, when an adult asks a child a question, the child answers."
When you say he's pushing back about "the silliest" of things, keep in mind that they likely aren't silly to him. Try giving him more choices so he can feel a greater sense of control over his life. You do this already? Do it more. Are the choices you offer real choices? Do you offer choices and then rescind?
Is he going to kindergarten next fall? This is typically a time of year when there's some discussion in preschool about kindergarten; kindergarten evaluations; or just casual conversation about it among parents that kids over hear. For some kids, this can translate to a worry: Am I grown up enough to go to kindergarten? Will mom and dad still take care of me? Even kids with older sibs can vacillate between thinking, "I want to go to kindergarten," "I want to stay a little kid." As they move around on this continuum, it can fuel a lot of unexpected, often regressive behaviors. Address this by telling him (and you can say this out of the blue, it doesn't necessarily need a context): "I heard that some kids wonder when they go to kindergarten if mom and dad will still take care of them. In case you were wondering, the answer is yes. Mom and dad will take care of you just like always." (For those of you who have my book, there's a section on this there.)

Evergreen homes: Art Stable
Built as an infill project on land that once housed a horse stable, Seattle's Art Stable is an AIA-award winning, Tom Kundig-designed building featuring six live/work lofts and innovative green features.
Fri, Apr 15, 2011 at 10:30 AM
For this installment of "Evergreen homes" — a new series of posts where I spotlight great, green homes in my home state, Washington — I thought I'd mix things up a bit. Although the eco-friendly abodes that I've featured in the past have certainly been diverse — they range from LEED Platinum prefab urban infill projects to eco-modern retreats in the middle of nowhere — most (an exception being Seattle's Footprint at the Bridge) have been of the single-family variety.
Today, to tie in with another ongoing series of mine, "Home is where the office is," here's a look at Art Stable, a beautiful mixed-use urban infill project in downtown Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood of Cascade that includes six live/work lofts and ground-floor commercial space.
As noted by the project's developer, Point32 — the same developer behind the planned Cascadia Center for Sustainable Design and Construction, an uber-green commercial building designed by the Miller Hull Partnership — these live/work loft units are sold as "flexible shells." According to the Point32 website, only two units remain on the market, and from what I gather, they aren't exactly cheap.
Completed in October 2010, Art Stable was designed by Tom Kundig of acclaimed, Seattle-based architecture firm Olson Kundig Architects. This is the same firm responsible for The Pierre, an absolutely stunning getaway in the San Juan Islands that's built into a giant rock outcropping.
A winner in last month's 2011 AIA Housing Awards in the Multifamily Living category (Olson Kundig was also honored in the same category for 1111 E. Pike), Art Stable was built on land that once housed a horse stable. Through numerous creative design elements, the new building pays homage to the site's agrestic past while maintaining a distinctly eco-modern vibe. Explain the architects:
Built on the site of a former horse stable, the building carries its working history into the future with highly adaptable live/work units. Both front and back elevations of the building are active. The alley-facing façade features an 80-foot 5-inch tall hinge topped by a davit crane and five steel-clad, hand-cranked doors that cover nearly a third of the façade. The system references a warehousing tradition in how it moves oversize objects into the building. On the street side, large hinged windows open to provide natural ventilation throughout the units. The building draws upon the architectural concepts of prospect and refuge, transposed to an urban setting.
So much for freight elevators, eh? The AIA jury remarked: "This is a home for artists that rises to the level of high art itself …. Its style, along with the operable doors and the crane on the roof, seems very Dutch in feel. It is very cleverly detailed …. It almost has a handmade look — it seems to represent what the art is all about and harken artists to the workshop."
Sustainable features of Art Stable include natural ventilation (check out those massive windows!), in-floor radiant heating and cooling, and a super-efficient geothermal heat pump system that runs in loops through the structural pilings of the building's foundation. According to Olson Kundig, Art Stable is one of the first instances of this type of geothermal system being used in the United States. Additionally, the building is designed to accommodate rooftop solar systems.
What a beautifully conceived project — and yet another home run for Olson Kundig. Cascade/South Lake Union is an interesting neighborhood that's undergone a lot of development in recent years. I remember it as being somewhat of a wasteland filled with parking lots, a crazy Russian Orthodox church, large industrial buildings, and later the giant REI flagship store. It was also (I think, if my geography is correct) home to a place that I spent a fair amount of time as a teenager, RCKCNDY, an all-ages nightclub that was demolished in 2001. Sad. Regardless, it appears that Art Stable is a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
And in other Seattle-centric green home news, this weekend the Northwest EcoBuilding Guild is hosting the 2011 Green Home Tour. This 28-home tour that includes Seattle and Eastside King County is free and self-guided. A notable stop on the tour is last week's featured "Evergreen Home," the Hale-Edmonds Residence, and a slew of other sustainable, Seattle-area beauties that are certainly future "Evergreen Home" contenders.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Crude oil prices were pressured from multiple directions Monday, losing 2% as Goldman Sachs' (GS - Get Report) legal travails continued to weigh, as did concerns about weaker jet fuel demand resulting from restricted flying conditions in Europe.
Securities and Exchange Commission
Also impacting commodities was a stronger U.S. dollar as uncertainty in the U.S. coupled with continued concerns about Greece
The front-month May delivery crude contract lost $1.79, or 2.2%, to settle at $81.45 a barrel, while the more actively traded June delivery contract shed $1.54, or 1.8%, to settle at $83.13 a barrel."It appears there's some further agitation on the civil suit with Goldman," said Gene McGillian, analyst at Tradition Energy, of oil prices. "Is the problem with Goldman something serious or something only Goldman will have to deal with? All of this stuff can take on a life of their own, so we'll have to keep an eye on them." Still, McGillian also notes that "the selloff may have a little more to do with technicals" and a casual trend. In recent weeks, the crude contract has stayed within a trading range, rising on optimism only to fall after investors reconsider continually high inventory levels. "The market is able to move through recent highs and gets a little above there," McGillian adds. "Then the real underlying fundamentals aren't supportive of the length and then moves down and then game starts up again."

Carne seca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also carne-seca, a Brazilian dried meat.
Carne seca ('dried meat' in Spanish) is a kind of dried beef in Mexican cuisine.
In northern Mexican cuisine, particularly the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, carne seca is cooked in a dish called machaca, which includes tomatoes, onions, chile verde, and eggs. Sometimes potatoes are included or used in lieu of eggs.
Carne Seca was briefly used in World War II era American military rations for mountain troops.
According to food writer Marian Burros of the New York Times, carne seca is a popular meat filling used by Tucson area Mexican restaurants in enchiladas, chimichangas, and tacos and mixed with eggs.[1]

In one of the most important decisions of the year for corporate legal departments, on June 27, the D.C. Circuit held that a company's internal investigation documents were protected by the attorney-client privilege where "one of the significant purposes" of the investigation was "to obtain or provide legal advice."1 The issue was before the D.C. Circuit on Kellogg Brown & Root's ("KBR") petition for a writ of mandamus seeking review of a surprising decision in which the District Court had ordered KBR to produce final reports documenting its prior internal investigations. While corporate legal departments breathe a collective sigh of relief, this case underscores the need to structure internal investigations thoughtfully in order to maximize attorney-client privilege protection.
In 2005, Harry Barko, who worked for KBR, filed a whistleblower complaint under seal pursuant to the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act. The complaint alleged that KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, defrauded the federal government by inflating costs and accepting kickbacks while performing reconstruction contracts in Iraq. The complaint remained under seal until 2009.

Capping this particular Year of the Mekons are two more CDs. The Return of Rico Bell is a set of honky-tonk tragedies and drifter tunes by the part-time accordionist Rico Bell, with backup from various members of the extended Mekons family. Bell's voice has mellowed a bit since his reading of "Sweet Dreams" on the Mekon's The Edge Of The World, a great 1986 release now reissued for all to rediscover. That record opens with "Hello Cruel World," one of the group's defining moments. "I heard you singing/You sounded brave," Tom Greenhalgh sings with a slight tremor, and what I always felt he meant is that he is, and the group is, and we all are. Brave, and foolish, and staring down death, and sometimes--mercifully--singing. (Will Hermes)

From ESPN:
A number of NBA scouts who I really respect have been telling me for more than a month that the real sleeper in this draft is Syracuse sophomore Dion Waiters. One GM went even further. "There are really only two potential superstars in this draft. One is a sure thing -- freshman Anthony Davis. The other one is Waiters. He can be an electric scorer in the NBA. There's some Dwyane Wade in him."
Comparing anyone to Wade is going too far. Waiters doesn't have Wade's elite leaping ability nor does he have his freakishly long wing span.
Still, very few NBA GMs or scouts doubt his talent, and most of them won't hesitate to compare him to Tyreke Evans. Waiters is one of the draft's best scorers and showed at Syracuse that he can get to the basket at will.
Evans went No. 4 in the draft two years ago and won Rookie of the Year. Wade has won an MVP award. Waiters is projected as a late lottery to mid-first-round pick by most teams.
Why the disparity, given the dearth of guards who can really go out and get their points whenever they need it? The chorus from GMs about Waiters is always the same: Character? Defense? Body language? Coachability?
Waiters has a message for all 30 GMs in the league.
"I'm not a bad kid. And I can play defense," he says with a smile after completing an hour workout with Abunassar.
Waiters obviously has his ear to the ground and bristles at the characterization that he's a troublemaker.
The concerns spawn from an awkward situation last summer when Waiters and head coach Jim Boeheim questioned whether they could coexist anymore.
Waiters came to Syracuse ranked as a top-15 prospect by ESPN and expected to contribute right away. However, he showed up to school in less-than-ideal conditioning. Boeheim became frustrated with his lack of intensity on the defensive end. The media picked up on some poor body language. By the end of the season, Waiters and Boeheim were at odds.
"He had nothing to be frustrated about because he was 100 percent wrong," Boeheim told The New York Times. "He played no defense last year. Not some. None."
Waiters, however, stuck it out. "I called my mom after almost every game crying," he told me on Tuesday. "But she just told me to keep going. To not give up. I'm glad I listened to her. I matured this year."
"I came to Syracuse a boy," Waiters added. "I left as a man."
Waiters came back in the best shape of his career. He embraced his role as the team's sixth man. He showed off point guard skills that scouts didn't know he had. He was Syracuse's best player. Coach Boeheim praised him all year. However, the questions persist.
"A lot of people judge me, but they don't know me," Waiters said. "I'm a good kid. I've never been in trouble. I've never been arrested. I don't hang around bad people. I was immature when I came to school. I was overwhelmed. But I put in the work to get better. Coach and I didn't bump heads all season. I'm very coachable. I just needed a little room to grow."
Waiters grew up in a tough situation in Philly. He left his family at the age of 15 to attend prep school. The move was traumatic for him. In the last year, he told me, he lost three cousins and a best friend. So if he looks too serious, it's because life, both on and off the court, is serious business for him.
Waiters also says that people misread his body language on the court. "You don't see Kobe smiling on the court. When I'm out there, it's all business. I want to win. I want to destroy my opponent. That's my focus. Smiling is for after the game, not during it."
On the court, in Vegas, Waiters is all business. He's in terrific shape, showed off an improved jump shot in workouts and can be explosive with the ball. But the real highlight show began later that afternoon when the five-on-five play began.
Pittsburgh's Ashton Gibbs and Florida State's Michael Snaer both took turns trying to guard him, and they didn't have much luck. On Wednesday, he again dominated in three-on-three play.
Waiters is a solid workout guy. He does enough to impress but not a lot that wows. But when he's actually playing the game, it's all wows.
He carved through the defense to the rim at will. He hit several 3-pointers, fadeaways, spins to the basket. He initiated the offense and got others involved. He got whatever he wanted and ... yes, he played inspired defense on the other end.
"I can't wait for the real workouts to begin," Waiters said. He knows that he's currently in a scrum with Jeremy Lamb, Austin Rivers and Terrence Ross and will likely work out with them directly once the Chicago combine is over. He's got a message for them, too. "I'm going to try to destroy them. I love to compete. If I have a weakness, it's that I'm too competitive. But I think once workouts come, that will be my biggest strength."
Teams still have legitimate on-the-court concerns. He's a bit small for his position. He's struggled with conditioning in the past. He needs to be a consistent shooter and, yes, he still can improve his defense.
But if he works out well and resolves some of the concerns about his personality, there's no reason he couldn't go as high as No. 6 or 8 on draft night. He's that good.
and NBAdraft.net (they have him 17th to Minnesota with the Raptors taking Jeremy Lamb)
Waiters' style of play reflects your prototypical combo-guard ... At 6'4 with a strong physical foundation, Waiters can play both on and off the ball throughout stretches of a game ... He's a scorer at heart, but his ability to create off the dribble results in open looks for teammates, which Waiters is capable of finding as a passer ... Always looking to get out in transition, he can change directions off the bounce, effectively absorb and deflect contact and finish at the rim ... Uses screens well off the dribble, recognizes when to hesitate and accelerate over the top ... He's an above average shooter with NBA range ... Comfortable shooting off the dribble inside the arch and via catch and release outside the arch ... Athleticism allows him to penetrate the heart of the defense, where he's illustrated a soft touch on his floater ... Defensively he has active hands and quick feet, and is a constant threat to steal the ball when defending a loose/careless handle ... Often comes out of nowhere for pokes and swipes as an off-ball defender ...
He's clearly not a point guard, so you wonder how he'll perform offensively against athletic 6'6 NBA 2-guards ... Would see a huge rise in stock if he can learn to facilitate in the halfcourt as a quarterback ... Struggles at times creating good shots in the halfcourt ... With his athleticism and bounce off the dribble, paired with the ability to explosively elevate, Waiters should attack the rim more often (only attempts 2.5 free throws per game) ... Needs to improve as a free throw shooter in general (only 70%) ... Playing at the top of the zone, he hasn't had the experience defending prolific 1s or 2s in isolation...
Waiters definitely has a future in the NBA playing the same role he does in college ... He's a spark off the bench, can spell your point guard and spread the floor as a spot-up shooter ... In only 22 minutes of action, he racks up 13 points, 3 assists, 2.3 steals on an impressive 52% shooting ... With Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph graduating, Waiters will have the chance to maximize his value as a junior, with late lottery not an unrealistic goal/landing range
I don't want Lillard. Lillard is just another Jerryd Bayless, except that we've at least already proven that Bayless can learn to play the point a bit more.
"Do you know what "nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent."

Brown interview: Relationship was that bad
Updated: January 7, 2004, 9:28 AM ETESPN.com news services
Bill Callahan's relationship with the Raiders deteriorated to the point that players wanted to come to blows with the former head coach.
The Raiders have been openly critical of Callahan during and following their 4-12 season -- the biggest drop ever for a Super Bowl team. Callahan was fired by Al Davis last week.
The Raiders felt that Callahan did not treat them with nearly enough respect. Following a November loss to the Broncos, Callahan called the Raiders "the dumbest team in America."
