Petite Luxe: DVF for GapKids
March 08, 2012 | by —Michelle Ward | Homepage
At a launch party celebrating her collaboration with GapKids, Diane von Furstenberg proved that the old "like mother, like daughter" adage is as true as ever. Running around The Grove's Gap store were the tiny tots of stars such as Milla Jovovich, Jessica Capshaw, and Alyson Hannigan, all clad in DVF for GapKids rompers, shifts, and, yes, wrap dresses. Mom-to-be Molly Sims was excited to get a sneak peek at the baby items, including a gender-neutral onesie that von Furstenberg herself helped Sims pick out. Shop the collection (size newborn to 14) when it arrives in stores and online on March 15.

Author(s): Baraz, Yelena
ISBN 10: 0691153329. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
In the 40s BCE, during his forced retirement from politics under Caesar's dictatorship, Cicero turned to philosophy, producing a massive and important body of work. As he was acutely aware, this was an unusual undertaking for a Roman statesman because Romans were often hostile to philosophy, perceiving it as foreign and incompatible with fulfilling one's duty as a citizen. How, then, are we to understand Cicero's decision to pursue philosophy in the context of the political, intellectual, and cultural life of the late Roman republic? In A Written Republic, Yelena Baraz takes up this question and makes the case that philosophy for Cicero was not a retreat from politics but a continuation of politics by other means, an alternative way of living a political life and serving the state under newly restricted conditions.
Baraz examines the rhetorical battle that Cicero stages in his philosophical prefaces--a battle between the forces that would oppose or support his project. He presents his philosophy as intimately connected to the new political circumstances and his exclusion from politics. His goal--to benefit the state by providing new moral resources for the Roman elite--was traditional, even if his method of translating Greek philosophical knowledge into Latin and combining Greek sources with Roman heritage was unorthodox.
A Written Republic provides a new perspective on Cicero's conception of his philosophical project while also adding to the broader picture of late-Roman political, intellectual, and cultural life.

Conatser making progress on the mound
By Marc Katz
Dayton Daily News
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Tallahassee Community College may not mean much to you and me, but it's where Ryan Freel played ball before going pro, so it gives current Dragons pitcher Derrick Conatser some cachet.
Of course, Conatser can point to his 2.86 ERA in 12 games for the Dragons entering Wednesday's game (July 9) if he wanted to show you what he can do.
Better than that, he can point to his previous 101/3 innings, during which he allowed only two runs. This from a guy who started the season at extended spring training.
"He had Tommy John surgery after his freshman year," Reds minor-league pitching coordinator Mack Jenkins said. "Then he pitched a lot of innings in the fall and spring when he came back. That's why we didn't pitch him much last year (in the Gulf Coast League), and he was going to stay at extended spring this year for awhile because of that."
Conatser a 28th-round draft pick who commanded six-figure money since he was considering finishing his college career at a four-year school and the Reds liked his arm didn't like extended spring training, but he understood.
"As bad as I didn't like it, it was good for me," Conatser said. "It helped me out. Pitching coach Rigo Beltran helped me out down there, and (pitching coach) Doug (Bair) helped me with my slider up here. Different coaches can help you with little things."
Youth will play
Reds farm director Terry Reynolds confirmed the organization is working to get younger as are most organizations and that shows up on the Dragons roster. Pitcher Kyle Lotzkar is just 18, third baseman Neftali Soto 19 and catcher Devin Mesoraco turned 20 last month. Also, pitcher Josh Ravin and outfielder Justin Reed are only 20.
That's about as young as the Dragons have ever been.
He liked hockey
Unlike fellow Canadian Joey Votto, who said he wanted nothing to do with hockey when he was growing up in Toronto, Lotzkar (from British Columbia) said he was a left winger until he figured out he had no future in the sport.
Lotzkar has something else in common with Votto. Both were teenagers when they first played in Dayton, and Lotzkar won't turn 19 until late November.
"Age isn't a factor when you're playing with (older guys)," Lotzkar said. "I came up here with a couple of guys from extended. You're not supposed to be friends with everyone."
Watching the team
Jerry Walker, Reds General Manager Walt Jocketty's assistant, and scouting director Chris Buckley are in town to assess the Dragons. Buckley said this year's Reds first pick in the draft, first baseman Yonder Alonso, is still a long way from signing.
"He hasn't played for awhile," Buckley said. "If he waits much longer, he won't be able to play this year."

MACS project aims to revolutionize robotic perception
Kurt3D in action
MACS is trying to replicate in machines an "affordance-based" perception of the world Image: www.macs-eu.org
Article Summary
The Multi-sensory Autonomous Cognitive Systems project is an attempt to imprint robots with the ability to understand the affordances of objects in their environment - or the physical qualities of an object, and the tasks it can be used for. It is hoped that this new approach to computer perception will allow robots to perceive more interaction possibilities, giving them the cognitive tools they need to successfully improvise and interact with their environment in a more human manner.

Doughnut Pancakes from Cooking Classy combine the best of two favorite breakfast foods. Pancake batter is piped in the shape of a doughnut onto a hot griddle. As the batter cooks, the pancakes become light and airy. Instead of traditional maple syrup, these doughnut pancakes are generously drizzled with a sugary glaze (reminiscent of a glazed doughnuts) and topped with sprinkles. Doughnut pancakes are delicious treat for breakfast or dessert.
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups milk
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp applesauce
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil, for brushing griddle
1 recipe Doughnut Glaze Syrup

Since I am a fan of pancakes and doughnuts, this comes as a wonderful surprise to me to have both the delicacies in one plate :) My family is coming over for dinner this weekend and I'd love to treat them with this special recipe of yours. Though my favorite is the homemade pancake syrup (with maple flavoring), I'll try sugary glaze this time. Thanks for sharing.

Hindu Janjagruti Samiti (HJS), a rightwing Hindu group, today demanded a ban on the reality TV show MTV Splitsvilla, claiming "it erodes culture and morality". The organisation also demands censorship of TV shows on the whole.
"The impact of such reality shows is so much that it erodes culture and morality in the youth which are the future responsible citizens of this country," HJS spokesman Ramesh Shinde said in a press release.
The show, hosted by Sunny Leone and VJ Nikhil Chinnapa, is in its seventh season.

'Smokey Joe's Cafe' Highlights Songwriting Team
By Alice T. Carter, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Jul. 10–For too many years, Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller were the songwriting team that everyone loved and no one recognized.
They were the guys who wrote and composed 1950s and '60s chart-toppers that included "Hound Dog,""Love Potion No. 9″ and "Yakety Yak."
But those songs became so closely tied to the famous artists who recorded them — including Elvis Presley, The Coasters, Aretha Franklin and The Rolling Stones — that Lieber and Stoller remained in the background.
That changed in 1995, when "Smokey Joe's Cafe" opened on Broadway as a showcase for more than three dozen of the songwriting team's pop standards. The show went on to become the longest-running musical revue in Broadway history.
On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera will celebrate the songs of Lieber and Stoller with its own production of "Smokey Joe's Cafe" at the Benedum Center, Downtown.
"The show was a catalyst for all the jukebox shows that followed," says Craig Barna, who serves as the production's musical director. "I'm really excited to be working on this show. It's music I love, and these are standard tunes from the canon."
"Smokey Joe's Cafe" makes no pretense of being a book musical, says Barry Ivan, who serves as director and choreographer.
"It's one number after the next," he explains. "There isn't even any patter."
Lacking a story to drive the musical forward provided Ivan with additional challenges when he first directed the show at Sacramento Music Circus in 2006.
It was only when he began thinking of it as a show about relationships that he found an anchor.
"You always have to remember, this music appealed to alienated teenagers," he says. "It's not unlike a Sondheim show. You don't say, 'I'm sad.' It comes out of your behavior."
Barna, who is working on "Smokey Joe's Cafe" for the first time, offers a similar approach.
"It's woven together to tell the stories of the relationships of the people," he says. "Because all the material is character driven, you have to have people who are good actors."
To achieve those ends, Barna and Ivan cast nine performers, all of whom have performed on Broadway or in national touring productions and some of whom have performed in "Smokey Joe's Cafe."
"You have to accept that everyone brings something to the table," Barna says. "You have to be musically flexible and say, 'How do we make it cohesive?' I like that: forced collaborations."
The result, Ivan says, should be a show that offers a lot of audience appeal.
"I think it provides a certain kind of escapism that will speak to these times," Ivan says.
"This show is something that is different but not risky. It's going to make people feel like it's OK to spend money on gas and go out and be entertained."

1) How does the cost of the ingredients compare to grocery store ice cream?
2) Do things really come out "that much!" better, or just "different" compared to grocery store ice cream?
3) Does it have any trouble if the freezer the bowl is stored in is lower than 0F ? I keep my big "long term" freezer at -10F. (The fridge freezer is in the twenties I think, and the fridge itself in the mid-30's. They aren't temp controlled like the big freezer though, so it varies some.)
I'm reasonably content with BlueBell ice cream, but like the idea of making my own if I can get something closer to Ben & Jerry's at BlueBell sale prices
So do not need an ice cream maker, but I saw a dark blue one in the Amazon warehouse for $26.93, and couldn't resist. Just in time as the weather turns hotter! Thanks for the heads up and all the info in this thread.

2) It depends on who you ask. It is definitely different. The results can vary greatly in texture and firmness depending on how it is made. It is definitely a treat through. Great for guests.
3) Sorry, I have not tried below zero. You might check with the manufacturer.
Your ice cream CAN turn out similar to Ben & Jerry's if you add the right ingredients (they add a lot of stabilizers that alter the texture). If that is what you are striving for though, I think you may be disappointed. Don't try to imitate non homemade ice cream with a homemade ice cream maker. That defeats the purpose (and is not worth the cost difference if any - in my opinion).
Thank you for answering! I was curious about some of those questions, too, although I've already bought the maker.
"At the time of sale, it was stated on our website to please allow 2-4 weeks for these items to ship."
That's what I got when I emailed support. Its only been 20 days so it could still be another week or so. Still I don't think I'd order from them again, I'd be too likely to forget an order and never have it come.

Soha to
play a cop
Soha Ali Khan will be seen playing a Dabangg-style cop in her forthcoming movie Mr. Joe B Carvalho , where she will be seen beating up to 20 goons in her opening sequence. She is called Shantipriya Phadnis in this film and has many action scenes to her credit. Says Soha, "I am excited to play a cop; this is my first time. I loved wearing the police uniform and beating up the goons. The film's opening scene has me arriving in the jeep and beating up 20 muscular men, that's what motivated me to do this film. You won't see me in a normal costume in this film. I either sport the attire of cabaret dancer, a fairy suit or a bikini; it was exciting for me to play these different roles instead of playing a single role as the girl next door."
Shoojit Sircar impressed with Taapsee
Shoojit Sircar who has roped in Taapsee Pannu for his next production, Running Shaadi.com . In the film, Taapsee is paired with Amit Sadh of Kai Po Che fame.
"There was a little doubt in my mind, but Amit was clear and he told me about Taapsee. When I met Taapsee, all my doubts were gone. She was bang on in the role," says Sircar.
The film is a romantic comedy centered on a website that helps people elope and get married.
The film will be directed by Amit Roy.

Father's Day book
Dad gets a day, too
On Father's Day, give your dad a gift that shows him how you feel about all he means to you. From coaching you through your first sprint (through the living room) to being that calming force during the drama of life, there's a Book of Dad inside your mind that's just waiting to be born. Are you ready? You can do it. (We hear him rooting you on now.) All you need is a little help from Blurb.
Structuring your Father's Day book
- Create a story about an event in your dad's life.
- Divide the book into the things he's passionate about. (If it involves football, well, you've automatically got at least two chapters: His favorite team and his most-hated team.)
- Organize the book around eras in his life. (The time when you appeared on the scene—and everything before that. The crazy bachelor phase. And make sure you find that teenage picture of him where he smiles exactly like you do now.)
- Capture the details of his day-to-day world. (His shaving kit, mom's hand on his shoulder, that picture of the two of you—backs to the camera—watching the sun go down.)
If your dad is anything like ours, he's slow to tell you how he's feeling about his life, but quick to help you sort out yours. Let him know you pay attention to the things that matter to him. Create a high-quality Blurb book just for him. You might even see some of those elusive tears.
Prepping your book
Step 1: Organize lots of pictures of dad, your family, and all the people in his life (college buddies, fishing friends, and such).
Step 2: Make a list of things he loves. (Your mom, Sundays, his beloved Barcalounger) and take screenshots or pictures of everything.
Step 3: Upload everything into one folder on your computer.

You can access thousands of recipes by subscribing to WeightWatchers.com.Learn more
It's a fast & easy recipe that you likely already have all the ingredients in the house (except the squash?). It's not a gourmet meal by any stretch, but for 2 PPVs in a pinch? It's a great meal!
Loved this. I can't fool myself into thinking it's spaghetti, but it's very good. And more filling than you would think. I'll be making this again.
I'm not too crazy about the spaghetti squash-therefore only 3 stars. It's okay & I'm having 2 servings for lunch today so a 4pt lunch is great. I might buy the squash again but it's not available at our local grocery store. It's a nice marinara sauce recipe.
I tried this today, it was wonderful and my husband even loved it, it's on the keep list to make again. I did the squash in the microwave only took 12 minutes. Served it with chicken. Definately a keeper.

There couldn't be a better time than the present to purchase an SSD, and on the same token, it's also a strange time. Performance drives cost the same as budget drives, and a perfect example of this is Corsair's Force F90. It's priced-right, offers incredible performance, and makes perfect use of its SandForce SF-1200 controller.
Originally developed by Intel, and since given to the open-source community, Iometer (pronounced "eyeawmeter", like thermometer) is one of the best storage-testing applications available, for a couple of reasons. The first, and primary, is that it's completely customizable, and if you have a specific workload you need to hit a drive with, you can easily accomplish it here. Also, the program delivers results in IOPS (input/output operations per second), a common metric used in enterprise and server environments.
The level of customization cannot be understated. Aside from choosing the obvious figures, like chunk sizes, you can choose the percentage of the time that each respective chunk size will be used in a given test. You can also alter the percentages for read and write, and also how often either the reads or writes will be random (as opposed to sequential). I'm just touching the surface here, but what's most important is that we're able to deliver a consistent test on all of our drives, which increases the accuracy in our results.
Because of the level of control Iometer offers, we've created profiles for three of the most popular workloads out there: Database, File Server and Workstation. Database uses chunk sizes of 8KB, with 67% read, along with 100% random coverage. File Server is the more robust of the group, as it features chunk sizes ranging from 512B to 64KB, in varying levels of access, but again with 100% random coverage. Lastly, Workstation focuses on 8KB chunks with 80% read and 80% random coverage.
Because these profiles aren't easily found on the Web, with the same being said about the exact structure of each, we're hosting the software here for those who want to benchmark their own drives with the exact same profiles we use. That ZIP archive (~3.5MB) includes the application and the three profiles in an .icf file.
Iometer is one application that can replicate the most brutal conditions for solid-state drives, although for a traditional hard disk such scenarios would be simply dreadful. These scenarios in particular are why vast arrays of 15,000RPM SCSI drives are utilized in high and especially highly random I/O applications.
When having to seek to random data a solid-state drive has an inherent advantage. It can look up a read request in as little as 0.1 of a millisecond, as opposed to 7ms for a 10,000RPM drive or 12-14ms for most consumer level 7,200RPM hard drives. Compared to any kind of mechanical hard disk, these near instantaneous access times are what give SSDs most of their mojo, and why a difference in system responsiveness between one a system with an SSD and one without can by physically noticed just through normal use.
Iometer testing showcases which of these SSD controllers are the most capable at servicing numerous small reads and/or write requests concurrently. Think of the SSD controller as the drive's own CPU, as that is basically what it does; even hard disk drives have a controller. What this test focuses on is testing how much it takes to max out and saturate the controller in read/write requests.
As these Iometer tests are designed to max out the SSD we are left with some extremely large variances in results between our contenders, but for those looking for a quick idea to put them in a context: anything around the old Vertex Turbo drive or higher is more than sufficient. Anything higher, while impressive, only translates into higher read/write bandwidth. Which is the same thing as saying while the Bugatti Veyron can exceed 250mph, anything above 80mph doesn't mean a whole lot unless you have a dedicated racing strip to use it on.
The same is true with SSDs, we are reaching a point where higher IOPS is great to have, but unless users have a dedicated workload that actually requires it, anything extra is superfluous for typical enthusiast desktop use. All that being said, it is still nice to have and as expected, the SandForce SF-1200 controller in the Corsair Force SSD has power aplenty under its hood.
As the name might hint, AS SSD is a nifty little program written exclusively for SSDs. It can be run on mechanical hard drives, but be warned that what should take minutes will take over an hour to benchmark! This handy little tool provides several read/write tests at important file sizes, but also includes a benchmark to simulate the transfer of three types of large files.
We selected this program for its precision, ability to generate large file sizes on the fly, and that it is written to bypass Windows 7's automatic caching system. The tool does not bypass any onboard cache.
AS SSD is an application that was written specifically for solid-state drives as an easy tool for any computer user to download and run for some quick, comparable results. We utilize it for its appropriate focus on small file operations and because it bypasses Windows 7's automatic caching system in the process.
It is interesting to note that SandForce drives don't fare particularly well in this program, and we finally have an answer as to why. It appears to be because of the type of data being written isn't compressible. SandForce drives are unique in how they function; they attain their stellar performance through data compression. However if the data being written is already highly compressed (such as an MP3 or JPEG ) then it will offer lower performance. This is why the OCZ Revo, which is unarguably fast enough to exceed the SATA 3Gbps interface and had to be put on a PCIe card, had such trouble with the write portions of the tests. As such we can say these would be the worst-case scenario in terms of possible performance.
However, as most users don't plan to utilize their SSD as an expensive file storage drive we don't think these results should be any sort of deterrent, especially given both the read and write performance is still in another universe compared to mechanical drives. The worst-case scenario would be few and far between if utilized as an OS and Program Files drive.

P25M hit job out for DOJ, NBI chiefs, lawyer Baligod
There's a P25-million contract out for the assassination of the secretary of justice, the chief of the National Bureau of Investigation and the lawyer of the whistle-blowers in the P10-billion pork barrel scam allegedly masterminded by fugitive businesswoman Janet Lim-Napoles.
Three sources—a former Marine officer, an NBI agent and a Philippine National Police official—told the Inquirer about the plot to kill Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, NBI Director Nonnatus Rojas and lawyer Levito Baligod.
The hits are to be carried out by two teams of former Marines and policemen from Basilan province, the sources said.
De Lima, Rojas and Baligod are designated as "hard targets," the sources said.
Soft targets
The contract includes hitting "soft targets," which the sources identified as journalists.
A source from the NBI told the Inquirer that De Lima had been informed about the plot.
The sources, who asked not to be named "so as not to burn" their "contacts," said they began to receive information about the plot four days ago.
"We would like to be updated on the progress of the plot. We might scare them and they may not talk to us if they learn we have been talking to reporters," one of the sources said.
The sources did not say who had put out the contract, but said that among those who would carry out the hits were former members of the Reform the Armed Forces Movement (RAM) who took part in the 1989 coup against then President Corazon Aquino.
"They feel neglected after the coup plot failed and it was only Jimmy (Jaime Napoles, husband of Janet Lim-Napoles) who helped and supported them," one of the sources said.
Jaime "Jimmy" Napoles is a retired Marine officer who took part in the 1989 coup. He was a member of RAM and is reportedly part of his wife's business operations.
The former putschists make up the first team of assassins, the sources said.
The second team is made up of former members of the Civil Home Defense Force, a military-supported militia, who are now members of the police force, they said.
They said they had validated the information and they received positive returns.
"All validation came back fast and positive. But we cannot confirm it 100 percent," one of the sources said.
Contacted by the Inquirer for comment, Rojas said he had received a report about the assassination plot.
But he shrugged off the threat to him, saying threats to his life were part of his job as head of an investigative agency.
"We will not be deterred or threatened. This is not the first time for us to get a threat. We know we did it right," Rojas said.
Hit man talks
Baligod said he had learned that he was a target from one of the recruited hit men, and asked fellow members of the fraternity Vanguards and friends in the military to verify the information.
"They recruited a group from Basilan and negotiations started from P25 million," Baligod said.
"I know they have the capability, but it will not stop me from helping the whistle-blowers," Baligod said.
The NBI source said De Lima had offered security for Baligod.
A Makati court on Wednesday ordered the arrest of Napoles and her brother Reynald Lim on charges of serious illegal detention involving the principal witness in the pork barrel scam.
The court recommended no bail for Napoles and Lim.
But Napoles and Lim received advanced information about their impending arrest and disappeared before NBI agents could serve the warrant of arrest on them.
The NBI and the police have launched a nationwide manhunt for the two fugitives.

Program Variety
Students who aren't sure which field of study to pursue may be wise to consider a university with many program options. The three colleges ranked below offer the highest number of programs among the four compared in this article.
1. University of Southern California
University of Southern California (USC) is located in Los Angeles and ranks first in this category with roughly 340 total programs. Students at this school can choose from bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, along with graduate certificates.
2. National University
Located in La Jolla, National University comes in second place with 85 programs available. As of the 2012-2013 school year, some popular fields of study for undergraduate and graduate students included business administration, psychology, education and registered nursing, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
3. Loyola Marymount University
Ranking third with nearly 80 programs available, Loyola Marymount University is located in Los Angeles. Popular undergraduate and graduate areas of study included law, English, marketing and business as of the 2012-2013 academic year, per NCES data.
Net Price
Prospective students should keep a close eye on the price tag of any 4-year private university - the cost of attendance is often higher than that of a comparable public institution. The NCES determines net price by subtracting the average amount of undergraduate financial aid from the average yearly cost of total undergraduate expenses. These figures come from the 2012-2013 academic year. The three private universities with the lowest net price of the four compared in the article are ranked below.
1. National University
National University ranks first in this category with a net price of $21,142 per year. Only about 41% of first-time, full-time undergraduates received financial aid of any kind for the 2012-2013 academic year, which is relatively low.
2. University of Southern California
Coming in second is University of Southern California with a net price of $29,889. According to NCES data, roughly 67% of first-time undergraduates were awarded grants, scholarships and/or student loans.
3. Azusa Pacific University
Located in its namesake city of Azusa, Azusa Pacific University comes in third with a yearly net price of $29,990. Roughly 92% of first-time, full-time undergraduates at the school were awarded some kind of financial aid, which is higher than any other school in these rankings.
Graduation Rate
The graduation rate is one way prospective students can shed light on a school's overall academic quality. These rates only apply to first-time, full-time undergraduates who graduated within 150% of normal time - for a bachelor's program, that would be six years or less. The following schools had the highest graduation rates of the four profiled here, per NCES data.
1. University of Southern California
University of Southern California takes first with an overall graduation rate of 91% for students first enrolling in fall 2007. Roughly 96% of full-time undergraduates who began their studies in fall 2012 returned in fall 2013.
2. Loyola Marymount University
Loyola Marymount University has a graduation rate of 76% for a second-place rank in this category. The school's retention rate was strong, with 91% of first-time students in fall 2012 continuing their studies in fall 2013.
3. Azusa Pacific University
With a graduation rate of 65%, Azusa Pacific University ranks third. About 82% of full-time, first-time undergraduates who initially enrolled in fall 2012 returned in fall 2013.
Student-Faculty Ratio
A low student-faculty ratio is one potential indicator of relatively small class sizes and the opportunity for one-on-one time with professors. Per NCES data from fall 2013, the three schools ranked below had the lowest student-faculty ratios of the four compared in this article.
1. University of Southern California
Ranked first is University of Southern California with a low student-faculty ratio of 9:1. As of 2013, the student population at USC was close to 41,400, and there were roughly 2,200 full-time and 1,500 part-time instructors employed.
2. Loyola Marymount University
Coming in second is Loyola Marymount University with a student-faculty ratio of 11:1. As of 2013, the school enrolled about 9,700 students, and they were taught by about 1,100 full-time and part-time faculty members.
3. Azusa Pacific University
The student-faculty ratio at Azusa Pacific University as of 2013 was 14:1, leading to a third place rank. This school employed about 1,000 full-time and part-time instructors to teach roughly 10,800 students.

COLUMBIA – From the top of York, as far west as Pickens, as far east as Horry and as far south as Beaufort, county leaders from across the Palmetto State gathered at the statehouse Wednesday, May 13, to be honored by the S.C. Arts Commission Council.
I have written this column before. In fact, I've written this same basic column about this time every year for the past several years.
And I'll write it again next year, and every year for as long as I do this column because it's so important. It's about how well the children of South Carolina are doing. The answer in a word is – worse.
Long before Jesus' birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote a prophecy about the "suffering servant of Jehovah," found in Isaiah 52:13-53:12.
Eight passages in the New Testament declare that this passage describes the Lord Jesus Christ, including the words of Jesus himself, when he said, "This that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end." (Luke 22:37)
If all goes according to Lancaster County Council's plan, the upcoming county budget will include funding to address several public safety concerns – namely more patrol deputies, a chemist for the sheriff office's drug testing lab and additional legal staff to help reduce the county's court backlog.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in identifying persons of interest in the abandonment of six kittens in a trash can at the Walmart in Indian Land earlier this month.
I was blessed to have not only my own mother, Juanita B. Walker, but four surrogate mothers. Three of them are deceased, but I want their families to know how much I loved them and how much I appreciate them sharing their loved ones with me.
I would first like to thank the Lancaster News for including my mother in the Black History Trivia Contest in February. She was truly a trailblazer in this community and local, state and national politics, but she never won any awards for that.
Indian Land High School volleyball coach Tal Horton looks for Warriors' senior volleyball player Hayley Williams to make an impact at the next level.
"She will be missed at ILHS, but we know she will make a name for herself at Ferrum," Horton said.
Williams, a three-year member of the IL volleyball team, is headed to the next level after signing with Ferrum College (Ferrum, Va.) in the IL media center on Thursday, April 30.
The late Johnny Hammond, a Lancaster native, was recently honored at Wingate University.
The mezzanine at the Wingate University football stadium has been named in memory of Hammond.
The dedication ceremony was held on May 5, 2015 at Irwin Belk Stadium where a plaque was unveiled in Hammond's memory.
An anonymous donor made a contribution to Wingate to honor Hammond who came to Wingate on a football scholarship after a stellar football career at Lancaster High School.
Andrew Jackson is a win away from a bid to the Class AA softball state title series.
The Lady Volunteers of veteran coach Steve Middleton will be at home today at 5 to face Crescent for the Class AA Upper State crown.

Can someone identify this old racket?

I'd rather not sell the racket, as I'm quite fond of it. However, there is one on **** right now which I assume you've already seen (Item number: 271116928694)
Is there some reason you don't want that one? Mine is the same as that one except for the grip size (which I wouldn't expect would matter for a racket only intended for display). Mine is also a "Smasher III" (that's what it says on the head cover), and also has the "S" integrated into the throat bridge. So like the one on ****, mine is probably not what you'd consider a "first generation". The early ones had a plain throat bridge without an "S", and I assume they didn't have a "III" after the name "Smasher", like so:
The reason I didn't know the model name of my Spalding racket when I first made this thread several years ago is because where it says "Smasher III" on the head cover is very faded, you can barely make it out if you look closely under good light, and I didn't notice it at the time (it is very faded on the one on **** too, must have been a problem with the type of ink they used to print that particular text).
Tell your father I said happy birthday and that I love his invention. By the way, does he know whether the aluminum was solid or hollow?
(note: for some reason this forum software automatically replaces the name of the famous online auction site with asterisks, but I'm sure you can figure out what I'm referring to)

During World War II, the U.S. military and public were told "loose lips sink ships," perhaps a worthy wartime reminder. But the seemingly endless "war on terror" has made government hostility to openness part of America's permanent wartime mentality, a dangerous development, says ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman.
Tag Archive for Dwight Eisenhower
America's Excessive Nuke Arsenal
Slashing the U.S. nuclear stockpile – and still having plenty of bombs left over for "deterrence" – would represent a huge saving to the American taxpayers and could help leverage more cooperation on nuclear proliferation in other countries, writes ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman.
Reaping the Seeds of Nuke Tests
The warnings about fallout from nuclear tests six decades ago often noted that cancers from the radiation would probably not begin appearing in large numbers for many years. But that time is now – and medical experts are wondering whether the surge in some cancers is a result, writes John LaForge.
What Has US Militarism Wrought?
Exclusive: A half century ago, President Eisenhower warned the American people about the "unwarranted influence" of a Military-Industrial Complex, but that influence still managed to pervade U.S. politics and policies. In a new book, ex-CIA analyst Melvin A. Goodman takes stock of those changes, Robert Parry reports.
Rewriting Eisenhower's Suez Crisis
Neocon propagandists are skilled at reframing current and historical events in ways that promote their ideological agenda. For them, it's a case of the ends justify the "facts," as happened again when Chuck Hagel dared praise President Eisenhower's handling of the 1956 Suez crisis, ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
The Choice of Guns Over Butter
The American political system continues to ignore President Eisenhower's dour warning about the Military-Industrial Complex and embrace President Reagan's happy "We're No. 1" illusions. The long-term consequences of this choice have been devastating to most U.S. citizens and to the world, writes Gary G. Kohls.
What to Make of Barack Obama?
Exclusive: In his Second Inaugural Address, President Obama offered a powerful rejoinder to the Right by arguing that progressive reform fits firmly within the Founders' vision of a strong country advancing the "general Welfare" and securing "Blessings of Liberty." But does his rhetoric reflect the real Obama, asks Robert Parry.
How Israel Out-Foxed US Presidents
From the Archive: Just days after President Obama's reelection, Israel launched a punishing bombing campaign against Palestinians in Gaza – much as Israel did shortly after his election in 2008. Obama again is put in a tight spot, but other U.S. presidents faced similar challenges, as Morgan Strong reported in 2010.
Ignoring Real National Security Needs
Before the Right began demonizing government, there was a bipartisan consensus on the wisdom of federal action to build important national projects, like the Interstate Highway System. Today, the need for a strengthened infrastructure has become a national security concern, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
How to Save the GOP
Exclusive: The only practical way to get the U.S. back on track economically is to raise taxes on the rich and use the money to rebuild the country. But anti-government extremists have taken over the Republican Party and won't let go. So, what can be done to save the GOP from itself, asks Robert Parry.

Greatest Serves of All Time
View Single Post

Actually since someone mentioned Nadal perhaps someone should have a list of top lefty serves of all time.
I have a few names..Neale Fraser, Roscoe Tanner, John McEnroe, Drobny, Goran Ivanisevic, Henri Leconte, Rod Laver (an excellent serve but not quite in the class of the players listed before him), Guy Forget, John Doeg, Nadal (not a great serve in my opinion but excellent generally speaking but I have seen him falter on second serve). Many said that you never broke Doeg's serve but you just waited for him to tire. Many thought he won the US Nationals on serve along.
Lots of great serves here. Drobny has been named on some lists as having one of the all time great serves. Tanner's serve is perhaps the fastest from ball toss to the receiver's side of the court that I've ever seen. Goran's is perhaps the best lefty serve or even the best serve I've seen. It's up there with any player. Fraser's serve is legendary. John McEnroe's serve didn't have the power of some here but his spin and his disguise on the serve made it super effective.
My initial thought is that it would be either Fraser, Goran or Tanner. Probably Fraser or Goran would be the top two in my opinion.
I would tend to think the greatest lefty women's serve would be Martina Navratilova. I'll try to think of some others to place on the list.

Hi all,
DD is two and a half years old. We were outside today and I decided to pull out her tricycle and her little bicycle with training wheels. She had both last summer as well and tried to ride them. Well, she still can't figure out how to ride either one and she is two and a half. Is this normal? We have shown her how to push the pedals and she has seen other kids ride bikes so not sure what's up.

Joined: Jun 2008
Location: Seat of my Ruckus
Oddometer: 12,128
Day 12 (Hwy20, OR > Helena, MT)
Day 12
Hwy 20, OR > Helena, MT
Thunderstorms rolled through just south of me after I was snug in my hidden home beside the highway. I was awoken often by passing double-hitched semi trailers and the brilliant flashes of lightening accompanying the deep rumble of high desert thunder. I rose around 5:15AM, clumsily packed the tent and gear, then set off into the still darkness of predawn, stars shimmering in the heavens.
I watched the suns glow illuminate the horizon and reflect warm colors on the inky river winding beside the roadway.
Cresting the rise, I took a snapshot of the morning clouds then continued down into the fertile irrigated crop lands of eastern Oregon.
I stop for gas in Vale and note the many murals and painted historical scenes on turn of the century buildings in this stop on the Oregon Trail.
I continue into the fertile onion and potato growing fields of eastern Oregon soon coming to the confluence of the Weiser and great Snake River at the border town of Weiser, ID.
Ontario eh?
Crossing the river.
A cup of coffee brings a morning chat with a local farmer outside a McDonalds while I lube my chain. His inquiries take longer than I wanted to stop but I enjoy the company and advice for things to see on my trip through Idaho. The warmth of the low crop lands begins to fade as I wind my way up the topography with many 4000ft passes and rises usually descending back into desert and pasture land.
I turn around and snap a shot of the signpost marking the 45
Parallel, halfway between the North Pole and Equator.
After some time, I rise into a National Forest and take in the rich smells of pine, the recently passed rainstorm moisture evaporating from the roadway and nutritious forest floor.
Each turn offers views of white and blue rapids contrasting against the greenish yellow Aspens sporadically brightening up the morning scene.
Cold rivers flow from their headwaters down into the Salmon River cascading for miles beside the roadway.
White Bird Pass had a huge elevation gain and steep grades. If ever you travel this way, make sure to take the old road up by turning in Hells Canyon. I saw its beautiful twists stretch out beside me and wished I had chosen that route instead.
Each small towns snail-slow 25mph speed zone warrants respect while I snap pics to keep occupied and remember the sights and architecture.
Grangeville, ID
Within no time, I turn onto Hwy 12 toward Montana pausing to photograph the road sign reading Winding Road Next 99 Miles.
I aim upstream slowly closing the 80miles toward Lolo Pass at the ID/MT border.
Nice place to stay a while...
The weather warms and I stop at a picturesque beach beside the road to cook a lunch of rice and tuna while dipping my feet in the gold-flecked shallows of the cool river.
Back on the road
This scenic 50mph route closely keeps with the river, workings its course along the very route that Lewis and Clark forged hundreds of years before.
For me, this road and exploration into wilderness is just as personally momentous and grand.
The scenery, fishing (judging by the many parked trucks) and potential for outdoor enjoyment in Idaho is extensive. Continuing against the river upstream, the temperatures slowly dip while the rivers width narrows.
A little early in the season for these guys though.
Soon I am chilly and up at 7-8000 ft through Lolo Pass into Montana.
I hit some construction stops on the Montana side but the 70mph speed limit takes me swiftly through my first windscreen cleansing rain showers approaching Missoula, MT. I call family and check in.
They are following my spot and my aunt announces a spaghetti dinner will be waiting when I arrive!
Missoula and the storm I passed:
Off to war...
Slab'n it
Chasing this dark storm which just dumped on Helena with heavy winds and hail...
Two hours on the interstate and an hour on a two lane over MacDonald Pass and I descend to Helena following the dark clouds of a retreating severe storm.
I arrive and quickly shower away the days of grit then sit down to the wonderful company of my family and a home cooked meal.
My uncle offers me a locally brewed beer and I taste the crisp delicious Moose Drool Brown Ale, my first beer of the entire trip.
After relaxing around the house, I am given a night time driving tour around Helena followed by a stop at a downtown bar for a local IPA brewed a few stores over in the same building.
I show pictures and discuss my trip then we return home, change and sleep in a warm clean bed.
Lost with Mike
Only those that go would know.
