Louisville, Kentucky
Louisville is the largest city in the U.S. state of Kentucky, and the county seat of Jefferson County.

An important internal shipping port in the 19th century, Louisville is today most well known for the Kentucky Derby, the widely watched first race of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing.
What are dentures?
When a person is missing teeth, he or she may experience a variety of problems. The person may become less confident in their smile and have difficulty speaking and eating certain foods. Dentures are appliances that ar...

Publishers Weekly
An art scandal enlivens this au-so-courant novel of romantic suspense from bestseller Lowell (Innocent as Sin), set in various locales around the American Southwest. Zach Balfour, a sexy freelancer working for St. Kilda Consulting, a security firm, falls in love with an attractive client, wilderness expert Jill Breck, while investigating Jill's recent inheritance of unsigned paintings possibly done by the late Thomas Dunstan, a legendary Western painter who had been the hard-drinking lover of Jill's artist grandmother, Justine Breck. Jill—and the paintings—are at risk because some greedy art connoisseurs realize that new Dunstans might adversely affect the price of his works slated for an upcoming Vegas auction. Lowell's keen insights into art world shenanigans serve to remind the reader about the value of art for art's sake rather than art for money's sake.

Every leader and organization faces obstacles that are difficult to surmount- from corporate executives confronting the complex global marketplace to Girl Scouts creating sustainable solutions for community problems as they earn the Girl Scout Silver and Gold Awards.
CCL believes that solutions to these challenges exist- and for over 40 years, they have helped clients unlock them through creative leadership.

The agreement will see Everton deliver a unique grassroots football programme in the state of Bengal.
The new arrangement will make Everton one of the first English Premier League clubs to gain a foothold in the territory and follows other global partnerships in South East Asia and North America.
Deputy Chief Executive Robert Elstone who is in Bengal representing Everton, told the club's website: "We are delighted to be here in Bengal and excited by this new and exciting partnership with the Indian Football Association.
"At Everton we certainly believe there is a wealth of opportunity in this partnership for both parties and we are looking forward to imparting our knowledge, expertise and experience of grassroots football to help benefit the game in India.
"Premier League football has become a sort of global phenomenon and the people of India contributed to viewing figures with 30 million tuning in over the course of last season. This level of audience demonstrates a willingness to embrace the English game and at Everton we are only too happy to endorse that way of thinking."
The IFA secretary Utpal Ganguli expressed tremendous optimism with the potential of the new arrangement and added: "As I have said previously this is fantastic news for everyone involved with the IFA and we expect this association will have dramatic effect on improving the quality of football in Bengal."

Good morning all First of all belated birthday grretings to yesterday's birthday-kids Hope you had an awsome day! Today I have a lateshift at work,so I'm in Jicky edt as my sotd.
Happy birthday to lievje and the_good_life.
Hot and humid here, snowing in Fargo. Did some laundry (hand wash only items) and hung it outside. Technically it is against the city ordinance but I think it will be dry before the daylight.
Guerlain Nahema, from Brielle's de***t.
Miss Tao, is it still burning where you are? Hope you and yours are safe.
Thank you all for your kind words yesterday. Took a deep breath and took your advice to relax. Sometimes there's just so much pressure to do a heap of different tasks all at once that you don't know where to begin and end up stalling all of them, you know? Tackling them one by one now, though, and am a lot calmer.
Another reason for my stress is that I'm watching my dad this weekend, whose Parkinson's is now in an advanced stage. That means his old self alternates with distrust, paranoia, hallucinations and full-blown psychosis. I haven't quite come to terms with all that yet. Parents really shouldn't get sick like that.
Anyway, lighter subject matter: I'm wearing Krizia My Afrika, the ginger mystery sample from the last 3x3. Fits very nicely with the balmy weather, I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
Have a great day all.
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.

Happy birthday to Lievjie. Hope you have a wonderful day and get lots of great books and perfumed presents!
Belated birthday wishes to The Good Life and Tinks. Where are you Tinkerbelle? Call by and say hi sometime woncha?
Veuve; hope your day goes OK. Sending you and Twolfie hugs and support. (Also anyone else who is having a stressy or glum day.)
I'm in EL Bronze Goddess because it's lovely and sunny again today. The red kites are flying high over the village and whistling their calls. And as if it couldn't get any better, there's an icecream fest in the villace marketplace today. Yahooo!!!!! Our family loves the gelato. (That's one reason we're all tubby. Too many tubs!) But one won't hurt, will it? And I keep saying it contains lots of calcium and must be very good for my bones.
Have a lovely day all.
PS - can our Swiss Basenoters give me any advice on how to find a cat in Switzerland? I'm thinking it's time we got a pet but I don't know where to look. Thanks!

Oh veuve...I'm sorry to hear about your father. You know, being able to care for him is a gift. When even the simplest task becomes impossible for him ~ your assistance, and giving of yourself, is a priceless treasure. You will surely be rewarded. Also: you smell lovely! Hang in there.
It's going to top 80 (for the second day in a row) here today, so I've decided to stick with a fruity floral. Wearing Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom & Honey.

Guerlain Vetiver and Creed Original Vetiver side by side comparisson. The citrus lasts a lot longer in OV whereas the Guerlain smells soapier on my skin with a tad leather. Overall the Creed has much more sillage, I constantly keep catching whiffs of it while to smell the Guerlain I need to attach my nose to my skin. I still enjoy them both.. Sigh... if only I had infinite recources... ah well, a girl can dream, can't she?
Wordie, I thought birds and kitties don't go well together..? :P Sending you a PM regarding your request.
Wishing everyone a geat weekend!
Healing energy streaming to Veuve - so difficult when the parent/child roles get reversed.
Wordie - you paint such wonderful word pictures - your moniker couldn't be more apt. And I WISH your avatar wasn't so dark on my 'puter that I almost can't make out you and Small.
Grabbed Demeter's Salt Air to put me in the mood this ayem. For the five femto seconds it lasts it's sort of Brezza di Mare Lite and RULLY refreshing. Think I'm gonna go through the day in beachiness. Will add the BdM later...and maybe a little Fire Island. Finish up the day in Bronze Goddess. Viva Astaroth!!

Guerlain conspiracy it is.
It will be Jicky EDP for me today.
But first I have to wash out the Eau de Doggie shampoo and conditioner off of me first. Just finished their weekly grooming.
I'm simplifying my life. For Sale Thread (some niche, some designer):
I can't say aromatherapy without rolling my eyes and feeling like a hippy, but I'm coming to believe that it is a legitimate form of cognitive adjustment. So, I'm trying to write in Gli Odori because rosemary is supposed to be good for concentration. I don't know that it makes me write better or makes me write for that matter, but I enjoy this fragrance. It's not an easy wear, but it's fun.
When I leave the house I think I'll go with something less interesting. Maybe a nice light floral.
If I could make a perfume to write in, I think I'd use Bitter Orange, Bergamot,Rosemary, Neroli , and Frankincense . No idea if it would smell good, but it would help with creativity, concentration, mood and energy level.
For Veuve I'd blend chamomile and Neroli. Calming and uplifting. Hope in spite of the difficulties you and your father will have a good day.
For the rest of you, pure sunshine.
debbborra, I like the sound of your writing perfume!
Here in Virginia, it's 78 F already, and projected temps of 90's F over the next few days. What happened to spring?
I'm wearing Osmanthus by The Different Company this morning.
Veuve, you have my sympathies. It's horrible to see the physical and mental changes and exhausting to care for them. My granddad had Parkinson's, but it never got him so badly; he somehow had it for 20 years and slowly deteriorated against all the docs' expectations.
I'm in MANDRAGORE; writing it in capitals to express just how right this feels today. I could make like a Russian tycoon's wife and bathe in it right now, that's how good this smells to me.
Stay safe, taolady.
We, too, are experiencing the 20+ degree spike in temperatures today. I awoke with a sinus headache during the night & it has yet to abate.
So no fragrance, as of yet.
Once the Sudafed kicks in, I'm wearing Chamade. It's my "Roll in Zee Hay" fragrance.
If I feel better, I'll go work in the garden, pull weeds, do some soil prep & prune the roses.
Beautiful day for playing in the garden.
Fo-ti-tieng until the shower, then Genvieve for the theater
My dear Veuve: It is hard and painful to care for someone weakened by Parkinson's. And your father...At least when you are with him, stay in the moment. You will notice, appreciate, and remember the small things that you do for him that gave him relief, even pleasure. Remember those small things.
It is a beautiful day here in New York, and I am wearing my spring love, Diorella. It is odd, because I usually scoff at the purported seasonality of fragrance. Just give me my Ambre Russe in the heat of the summer. But Diorella, which is full of hope and sun, in addition to its classic Roudnitzkian notes, is so classic spring to me. I just love it. Does anyone know if an extrait exists for Diorella? I have only the edt.
debbborra--I second the suggestion by Lilybelle of profumo's Persona. Also, many traditional colognes have all those notes, minus the frankincense. Institut Tres Bien Cologne d'Italienne is one I have which fits this description, and it is extremely uplifting.
Petruccijc, that ad is really SCARY--not sure it would invite me to try the fragrance. The sculpture looks like the little tycoon on the Monopoly game. Does the fragrance evoke this?
Not sure yet what my SotD will be--I'll post again later. Hugs to all!
Rainy and humid over here... Started my day with Vent Vert and later tried Fresh Pomegranate Anise. In the evening I tested Annick Goutal's Matin D'Orage, which I quite like as it has a white floral/gardenia note.
Happy birthday to lievje and the_good_life.
Veuve - sorry to hear about your father - my partner's dad died of Parkinson's in January after suffering from it for 15 years, and it was upsetting to watch his decline. He also had two types of cancer thrown in but managed to live with those. A degenerative disease is so cruel as you feel the real person slowly ebbing away...
Keeping it uncharacteristically simple and wearing just Cristalle edt today.
"So many scents, so little skin"...
I'm wearing Prada Infusion d'Iris right now at work and can't smell it. Later I'm changing to Guerlain L'Instant Magic. I am completely and utterly smitten with it.
Veuve, is it possible that your dad's mental symptoms are being caused by his levodopa (assuming he is taking that)? It does have psychiatric side effects at the higher doses that are often necessary as the disease advances. If so, maybe the doctors could reassess his dosage....
Today I am celebrating the warmer weather with a cool green scent, Hampton Sun Privet Bloom.
Happy birthday to lievje and the_good_life and loving thoughts to Veuve.
Today is a Hypnotic Poison day because my husband loves it . Be happy everyone. X
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Every year, on the last Saturday in April, the Kiwanis host the Pewaukee River Run. A few athletic types consider it a canoe race, but most attendees just make it a fun quest, often swigging beer along the way. Sadistically, my family likes to watch from a sharp bend in the river where large trees often obstruct the navigators. The skilled and swift paddlers who arrive first are no fun, they simply negotiate the obstacles. It's the later, less-experienced pairs who scream, turn their boats sideways, take on water and/or collide with others who provide our side-splitting entertainment. Our foursome (DH & I, DD & her BF) is home now and dry after tolerating a drenching downpour during which I pulled out my camera only once. Just had to share this pic of two young men in camouflage paddling with shovels. Note, too, their canoe has some signficant folds in its sides. Good times.
I'm warm, dry, dressed in plaid flannel for the day and smelling great in Black Vetyver Cafe with Sel de Vetiver.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
For SotD, I settled on Tom Ford White Patchouli.
I'm in Feminite du Bois today (thanks to a sample from Arwen!) and hoping not to get rained out of my picnic plans. Have a great day everyone!
Still out of town visiting for the birthday of my 92-year-old mother-in-law, and letting chance select my SOTD.
Found an almost full bottle of Jean Louis Schrrer 2 that I must have left here years ago.
Was my husband's favorite and he laments that I never wear it.
Me (waving wrist under his nose): Do you like this?
Husband (in the voice that means "don't buy a full bottle): Nice.
[I reveal what it is]
Husband: Huh. Smells different now that you wear all those other perfumes. Kind of sweet and dated.

Happy Birthday to lievje and the_good_life! I hope you're having a marvelous weekend.
Veuve, my thoughts are with you.
Taolady, do stay safe. All that smoke and ash must be harmful too.
I work in this freezing little office on Saturdays, and even if it's warm outside, I like to wear something cozy to ward off the chill. Today I'm in a sample of Parfumerie Generale Cadjmere. It's not blooming as much as it could (brrrr!) but it's still so lovely and woody.
(((Hugs to Veuve)))
Happy Birthday (again) to Lievje & the_good_life ! Hope you have a wonderful fragrant day.
I am wearing Armani Prive Eau de Jade pre work-out.
xoxo to Twolf
Thank you all sweeties. Definitely helps to be able to vent, not to mention the bone-crushing virtual hugs. I'll need medical attention if I don't watch you lot.

Hello and wonderful saturday to all.
((veuve)) I am so sorry for all you have to deal with, you are correct, parents should be excluded from becoming sick. They should just be mama and papa forever, they all deserve peace and tranquility. I feel for you.

It has been a beautiful warm. sunny Saturday here at Stately Somerville Manor. On top of the weather finally getting warm I got to meet Brielle87 last night and we shared fragrance stories and stories of how we used to spend our Friday night together but like ships passing in the night not really together. A great deal of thanks go to her DH who steadfastly sat by and listened to grown adults gush over the baeuty we find in perfume. I don't think he was as enchanted as I was, at least at the conversation.
After all of that and after reading the previous posters it just seemed right to join the Guerlain Gang today in:
Guerlain Mouchoir de Monsieur
I love weaing the old classic Guerlains and while I feel they are timeless I also feel they hearken back to a slightly different era, too. I've also heard that this 1904 creation of Jacques Guerlain is supposed to be the EdT version of Jicky. I don't think I'm ready to go that far as I think the similarities have more to do with being Guerlain than trying to be a different version of an earlier creation. From the top it is lemon and lavender with a little bergamot and this is one of the deepest lavenders I've come to wear. I certainly find it deeper than Jicky's start on me. The floral heart of this is gorgeous as a light rose replaces the lavender and this is done in stages and when the lavender and rose are in balance at the interface of the top and heart, my heart like the Grinch's grows two sizes. The base is where the civet note which I think is what everyone seizes on to make the comaprison to Jicky appears. Here I find the civet to be more prominent, than in Jicky, and in perfect balance with the classic Guerlinade finish. Mouchoir de Monsieur translates to "gentleman's handkerchief" and it does remind you of a time and place where gentlemen carried and wore a handkerchief. What I find so amazing is it still feels relevant over a 100 years after its creation.
Have a Soulful Saturday everyone.

First of all, Happy Actual Birthday to lievje!!! I hope you've had a great day! Here's a special bedtime treat, just for you:
I'm still recovering from sinus and chest congestion, so my sniffer is a little off. However, I've managed to test four Laura Tonatto fragrances (thank you, socalwoman, for sharing these samples!). A quick rundown:
Dama - Soft ambery floral, slightly powdery. Very feminine.
Amir - Rich orange, wood, and amber. Powerful and warm.
Plaisir - Very sweet, creamy fruit and vanilla, to my nose.
Iss - Sort of a complex citrus and vetiver.
Love the Iss, and find the Amir somewhat appealing. Dama and Plaisir were too sweet for me.
Wore 2 drops of Annick Goutal Myrrhe Ardente before I went to sleep. Sweet and meditating. A great bedtimne scent.
Sending my hugs to those who need them.

Nestled within picturesque peaks and deep valleys, Doi Hua Mae Kham includes little villages that house some of Thailand's most exotic tribes who still continue to live their lives in the lap of nature. During some parts of the year, the valleys resemble bright yellow blankets because of the flowers gleaming in the sun. Just a few hours drive from Chiang Rai city, it is a good idea to come here to experience a slice of tribal life or simply go back in time.

I have downloaded this app on feb 17 via appgrais but doesnt get pro version.(redeem code doesn't work)

Why does this install the application in the most hidden parts of my computer (where other cloud apps DO NOT) and then get flagged by 3 different antivirus programs set on low security (when no other cloud apps have)??

Update: Never could figure out how to make it run. Did PC download but phone never would show where to insert the promo code. Red flags went up in the security area so I just deleted it all.

PASADENA -- UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel was right about Washington quarterback Jake Locker being a playmaker.
What he failed to mention was that he has a few players on his own team that would fit into that same category.
Rahim Moore, being one of them, intercepted a pass with 54 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to help secure the Bruins' 24-23 victory over the Huskies Saturday afternoon at the Rose Bowl.
The Bruins won despite losing quarterback Kevin Prince (concussion) in the second quarter, and turning the ball over five times (three fumbles, two interceptions).
The victory snapped a five-game losing streak and gave UCLA its first Pac-10 victory of the season.
"We're going to enjoy it for a day and then we're going to go and look at how we made that many mistakes and survived," Neuheisel said. "It was just too many mistakes."
One way the Bruins were able to overcome their shortcomings was by throwing a confident offense onto the field. The Bruins picked up some swagger in the fourth quarter of last week's game at Oregon State when they came back from a 16-point deficit. Though they lost that game, they were determined to control their own destiny in this one.
Prince completed 13 of 17 passes for 212 yards before a helmet-to-helmet hit by Donald Butler late in the second quarter knocked him out of the game.
Prince threw a 1-yard touchdown pass – on fourth down – to Cory Harkey on the Bruins' opening drive, and engineered an 80-yard march that ended with a 1-yard touchdown run by Chane Moline.
He had moved the Bruins from their own 20 to the Huskies' 28 before taking the hit from Butler. He was diagnosed with a mild concussion but said after the game that he feels good enough to play next week at Washington State.
The Bruins didn't finish Prince's final drive successfully. Richard Brehaut replaced Prince and was called for a penalty on a wildcat formation at the Huskies' 10. He later fumbled while being sacked at the Washington 23.
Kevin Craft replaced Brehaut on the Bruins' next possession and remained at the position for the rest of the game.
"Richard went into the game when Kevin Prince got hurt and there were a couple of mistakes," Neuheisel said. "We had an illegal formation because he didn't line up on the line of scrimmage. That's stuff we go over in practice. Then you had the fumble on the third-down call.
"I wanted to send a message to Richard that this is hard. Competing at this level requires great concentration and great preparation. I felt, with Kevin Craft's experience, that was the way to go."
The Huskies led, 16-14, at halftime and increased their lead to 23-14 early in the third quarter after taking advantage of a Johnathan Franklin fumble.

Re: BVI chart/nav app
Hi Everyone-
So, I have my new Oregon loaded with the most up to date SE Caribbean BlueChart g2 HXUS030R (from Landfall). I will make my preliminary route on my home computer using HomePort and download that to the Oregon.
I have the new iPad, with GPS, and plan to download the BlueChart Mobile App and Active Captain.
I don't want to buy the Garmin Wi-Fi Adaptor kit (Don't think it would work with the Oregon anyhow). Therefore, it is my understanding that I will not be able to use my g2 HXUS030R micr SD chip in any way to get those maps into the iPad & that I will have to buy the Garmin North American BlueChart map (not U.S. Coastal because it doesn't include Caribbean) through the app "settings" once downloaded. Is this correct?
I don't know if the North American iPad BlueChart is as detailed in the Caribbean as the HXUS030R chip (I assume not) but when I talked with Garmin reps they told me the HXUS030R was the only detailed coverage (more detailed then preloaded or other BlueChart sd cards that included the Caribbean) to include the Virgins, Leewards etc. At the time when I talked to Garmin we never talked iPad.
My intention is to use the iPad in the cabin for the crew to follow and for that reason don't need more detail there. Yet, I guess I could (using the more inaccurate method of touch screen selection) roughly chart the same route on the iPad so people know where we are traveling. And, to be sure and turn off any roaming settings.

A Convenient Truth about Clean Energy: The Earth Is Awash in Energy; We Just Need New Infrastructure to Tap It. A Chemical Engineer Shows How We Could Break Free of Fossil Fuels by Deploying the Power of Ammonia and Hydrogen
Schoder, Carl E., The Futurist
The convenient truth is that the world does not have an energy shortage; it simply lacks an energy infrastructure capable of using the abundant source of solar energy that we receive from the sun every day. The current worldwide demand of about 363 terawatt-hours per day could be met by covering just 0.5% of the world's land area with silicon solar panels. Doing so, and building out other necessary infrastructure requirements, could meet our energy needs and eliminate dependency on nonrenewable petroleum.
As we examine our energy future, we should keep in mind three fundamental requirements:
1. Abundance. Because of the value that energy gives us in improving the quality of life, the long-term abundance of an energy source and of the materials required to produce it is very important.
2. Cleanness and greenness. Clean, green energy is important because we only have one Planet Earth. When we pollute and damage it, we are destroying our home.
3. Widely distributed availability. Moving energy from point to point is an energy-consuming and wasteful practice, so ease of transport and accessibility are important considerations in building the energy future.
Energy Supply
We typically refer to fossil fuels as sources of energy. In reality, fossil fuels are stored forms of potential energy created from solar energy ages ago, so the real source was the sun. These fossil fuels are nonrenewable sources of energy; formed over eons, they are now being spent in a matter of decades.
Gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol, methanol, hydrogen, and electricity are not true sources of energy because they need to be converted from other sources into these more convenient forms. Whenever one type of energy is converted into another type of energy, some of the source energy is lost as waste heat or friction (entropy). This entropy waste is one of many reasons why the conservation of all natural materials--including petroleum--is for the betterment of society.
Solar energy, however, is different; it is constantly being generated and radiated into the universe. Any solar energy that we do not use becomes wasted light and heat energy, dispersed into the empty void of space as a sort of dark, weak energy that is unavailable for our use.
A basic source of energy is fusion energy, which is in fact the primary source of all energy in the universe. Our sun is a fusion energy source, as are all of the billions of suns in the universe. Our sun has been producing reliable fusion energy for several billion years and is estimated to have a remaining life of more than 4.5 billion years. All we need is an infrastructure to collect and utilize the already ample solar energy it sends our planet's surface daily--more than 2 million terawatt-hours.
How much solar energy do we receive from the sun? Let us look briefly at the sources.
Amount of Solar Energy Available
There are four major types of energy sources that we get from the sun: heat, wind power, photosynthesis (biomass cultivation), and photovoltaic power. Heat is what warms the earth and makes it livable as a planet. Wind power is available, useful, and relatively inexpensive, but it is too limited to fulfill worldwide demands. Biomass is also an available option, but as a product of photosynthesis, it is less efficient than photovoltaic generation of electricity. Also, the competition for resources among agriculture, forestry, and energy must be carefully and cautiously evaluated before considering the use of biomass for energy on a large scale.
Now let us look at how much photovoltaic solar energy is available from the sun. Starting with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Solar Constant data measured at the stratosphere, we can estimate the average amount of sun continuously reaching the Earth's surface at 174 watts per square meter, which obviously varies by latitude, season, cloud cover, and other variables. …

My youngest has just weaned himself, so I have stopped nursing after a 7 year stint and am experiencing some side effects. My skin has been breaking out and I am loosing significant amounts of hair. I am hoping that this is temporary and that once things have evened out my hair will become thicker, ect. Has anyone had this happen?
I never nursed back to back so I don't have experience with that but I have lost my hair. I have an auto immune condition called alopecia. If you would like to learn about alopecia and see if it's what you're experiencing they have a website naaf.org. I hope you get back to normal soon!

07.04.08 - By Francisco Rodriguez - Photo: PR Best Boxing Promotions/Jose Perez - Champions showed why they are champions and former champions continued on their quest for another title bout in front of thousands of Puerto Ricans during Puerto Rico Best Boxing Promotions Civil War II, Saturday night at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The main event featured the undefeated WBO light flyweight champion, Ivan Iron Boy Calderon, of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, who successfully defended his title against the veteran Nelson Fuegete Dieppa of Vieques, Puerto Rico. Calderon demonstrated that he had too much speed and boxing skills for Dieppa to handle. Dieppa, who comes off a TKO victory over Alex El Nene Sanchez over a month ago, was outboxed, outpunched and outwitted by Calderon..
Iron Boy showcased boxing skills that he had not before, and proved that he is one of the best boxers pound for pound, at only five feet tall. Whenever he decided to stand in the middle of the ring and exchange punches with Dieppa, he did it in a way that Dieppa barely touched him, and when Calderon decided to box, his speed allowed him to punch Dieppa at will. The score cards told the story, with all three judges scoring the bout 120-108, giving Calderon the unanimous decision. This way Calderon keeps his perfect record with 31 victories, 6 of those by way of knockouts. Dieppa sees his hopes of regaining the light flyweight title vanished and, as he puts it, will go home and rest with a professional record of 25-5-2 (14 KOs).

Stephen Ireland will escape punishment over his bizarre goalscoring celebration after scoring the winner against Sunderland on Monday night.
In front of a live TV audience, the Manchester City midfielder pulled down his shorts to reveal a pair of skimpy briefs, sporting a Superman logo, after netting the goal which sealed the 1-0 win over Sunderland.
Sven-Goran Eriksson admitted the Football Association may have wanted to take action against the 21-year-old, who has had his fair share of troubles already this term.
However, the FA have instead wisely decided merely to remind Ireland of his responsibilities to the game, a move which amounts to little more than a gentle wrap on the knuckles.

Notes on Camp
An argument for keeping summertime unplugged
Each spring, Jewish parents nationwide engage in the sacred and holy ritual of writing checks to summer camp.
Josie, 8 years old, is going to overnight camp for the first time this year, which has made me reflect on my own experiences as a child at Camp Ramah in New England. I loved the lake, the trees, the pine-fragrant bunks adorned with the vintage scratchitti of long-ago youths who'd presumably left camping behind for cholesterol-lowering drugs and the raising of future campers of their own.
I grew up in a different era, an age before cell phones and personal computing devices. In an era before MTV's Unplugged, we were perpetually unplugged. As a kid in a small city, I rode my bike all over the neighborhood. I lounged with my friends in Swan Point Cemetery on weekends. We spent hours, unsupervised, in various garages and basements.
My own kids' childhood is very different. They're in organized activities all the time. They don't roam like free-range fowl throughout the city. For Josie, one of the most fascinating things about this year's marvelous Newbery-winning children's novel When You Reach Me was its portrait of a latchkey kid on the Upper West Side in the '70s; in a book that deals with time travel and foretelling the future, the most astonishing detail for my kid was that the protagonist got to walk around New York City alone.
The most significant difference between my kids and me, though, is that they can't imagine being unwired. I showed them a picture of Gordon Gekko holding his then-super-futuristic cell phone in the movie Wall Street, and they asked if it was a giant walkie-talkie. Josie recently quizzed me about Superman: What was a phone booth, and how did he change clothes in it? When I tell her we had to stand up and walk over to the television to change the channel and that we only had telephones attached to walls, she stares at me as if I'm speaking Urdu. I showed her Atari's Pong, the antiquated video game we played on my TV growing up; she thought I was playing a joke. All you could do in this "game" was move a line, slowly, up and down, as a single dot ricocheted in slow motion around the screen? This was once considered fun? Josie and her friends play Toontown and Wizard 101 together, visually rich, hugely complex, multiplayer games with their own elaborate universes. They make plans to "meet" each other on weekends in digital glens and seven-story buildings in their avatar forms.
A couple of summers ago we visited friends in Fire Island. Eyeing my iPhone, an 8-year-old girl said, "Which generation?" I told her it was the earliest version and she rolled her eyes. "I want the new one, but my mom isn't psyched for me to break my current contract," she said airily, as bored as a Kardashian. "I'm totally getting it, though."
So, is today's sleepaway camp—with its lake, trees, cabins, chadar ochel, and drama and crafts bungalows looking exactly as they did generations earlier—an artifact, an artificial construct belonging to an earlier time, like some New World version of a Roman Vishniac photo? Is it ridiculous to expect kids to give up their iPods, handheld computer games, Facebook, Twitter, IM? Can we really trap them in this historical setting, like bug-spray-scented, cell-phone-less flies in amber?
My answer: We not only can; we should. Kids need unplugging. I'm no Luddite or technophobe, and I was among the snarling parents who objected when Mayor Michael Bloomberg went on his rampage to ban cell phones in schools after September 11. But in the summer—the last vestige of carefree childhood in a high-pressure, high-connectivity world—kids should be forced to interact face-to-face with each other, with their counselors, and with a sylvan world. It's one of the last great communal spaces for kids.
Every camp has its own rules about the use of technology, of course. Some allow cell phones but let kids use them only right before Shabbat or right before bed. Others allow iPods in the bunk only. (In my day, at rest time, we were allowed our giant, awkward Walkmans that seemed the height of techie cool.) But whatever a camp's written rules, compliance varies. One Jewish website is rife with whispered tales of texting in bathroom stalls.
"Each camp's culture is different, of course, but for most part the undergirding value is that camp is a place in which community is built in real time and real space," says Rabbi Eve Rudin, director of Camp Excellence and Advancement at the Foundation for Jewish Camp. In other words, al tifrosh min hatzibur; don't separate yourself from the community. The real community, not the virtual one. "When you're plugged in to your headphones, you're separated from the world around you," Rudin says. "There can be appropriate times in the camp day to be separate and quiet—reading a book in your bunk, writing a letter, listening to music. For some camps, then, an iPod is acceptable. But we generally don't encourage families to send valuables to camp." Camp, she adds, should be a place where all kids start on equal footing, but "the reality is that parents don't always want to abide by it."
Ah, there's the rub. Is connectivity really so important to the kid, or is it really about the needs and anxieties of the parent? For most kids, camp is a time to be in a completely kid-centric, immersive environment. Kids adjust to camp culture. They learn the camp rituals and songs (speaking of which, OyBaby's new CD, We Sang That at Camp, is hilariously awesome). They fold themselves into the tradition; they don't expect the tradition to adapt to them. But parents can be more obstructionist than helpful to the process. I've heard stories about camps with no-outside-food policies in which parents smuggle food in care packages, hidden in tennis balls. Websites like bunk1.com and campregister.com help parents stay connected to their little darlings 24-7. In my day, we had to write home twice a week, and we could line up to use the pay phone outside the mercaz. And we walked uphill to the archery range, both ways.
There's no doubt that camp is Good for the Jews. Research shows that teenagers report greater levels of connection to Judaism at camp, and campers are significantly more likely to send their children to camp themselves when they grow up. According to the Foundation for Jewish Camp, 66 percent of Jews who attended Jewish camps considered their Jewish identity "very important," as opposed to 29 percent of those who never attended a Jewish camp. Jewish camp alumni are 50 percent more likely to join a synagogue and 90 percent more likely to join a Jewish community center than their non-camp fellows. And camp's world-unto-itself mystique is part of what makes it so indelible. There's something primal about the physicality of it all, the intensity of friendships forged at camp. Movie nights feel more special when media is a rarity. Romance feels more thrilling. Shiurim feel less like school when they're held among pine needles. You can't Facebook that stuff. Well, you could, but feh.

In the most influential chapter of his most important philosophical work, the Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel makes the central and disarming assertions that "self-consciousness is desire itself" and that it attains its "satisfaction" only in another self-consciousness. Hegel on Self-Consciousness presents a groundbreaking new interpretation of these revolutionary claims, tracing their roots to Kant's philosophy and demonstrating their continued relevance for contemporary thought.
As Robert Pippin shows, Hegel argues that we must understand Kant's account of the self-conscious nature of consciousness as a claim in practical philosophy, and that therefore we need radically different views of human sentience, the conditions of our knowledge of the world, and the social nature of subjectivity and normativity. Pippin explains why this chapter of Hegel's Phenomenology should be seen as the basis of much later continental philosophy and the Marxist, neo-Marxist, and critical-theory traditions. He also contrasts his own interpretation of Hegel's assertions with influential interpretations of the chapter put forward by philosophers John McDowell and Robert Brandom.

Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton from East Randolph blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Linda Morse's home in Williamstown on Friday.
Heating a home during a cold Vermont winter is expensive. To help ease the pain, many are turning to weatherization projects. The Central Vermont Community Action Council has five crews working year-round to button up homes in our area. These services are free of charge to central Vermonters who meet income qualifications. Others can hire these trained crews for audits and renovations. People who go through the process typically save 30 to 35 percent on their heating fuel usage. On Friday, a CVCAC crew was at the home of Linda Morse in Williamstown. Above, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton, of East Randolph, blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Morse's home. Scott was on the job as part of his "Vermont Everyday Jobs Tour."

OFPP Administrator Daniel Gordon leaving
Wednesday - 11/2/2011, 12:26pm EDT
Office of Federal Procurement Policy Administrator Dan Gordon announced he is leaving to become the associate dean for government contracts law at the George Washington University Law School.
Office of Management and Budget Director Jack Lew announced Gordon's decision to leave later this year on the OMB blog.
"Two years after his arrival, we can all see the changes that Dan has helped bring about. On Dan's watch, spending on federal contracting decreased for the first time in more than a dozen years, coming in $80 billion less than it would have had contract spending continued to grow at the same rate as it did under the previous administration," Lew wrote. "Throughout his tenure, Dan has helped agencies focus on strengthening their acquisition workforce, especially by providing training, and driving the administration's commitment to tightening oversight of contractors, whether through a reinvigorated suspension and debarment process to deal with the 'bad actors' whose misdeeds no longer go unpunished, or focusing on the contract management role of contracting officers' representatives, who help ensure that contractors deliver what they have promised, on time and on budget."
Gordon came to OFPP from the Government Accountability Office where he spent 17 years. His last position was as the deputy general counsel in the government contracts office.
He also has served since 2002 as an adjunct faculty member for the George Washington University Law School.
Before joining the government, Gordon worked in private practice and also clerked for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
He was hailed by members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which held his confirmation hearing, as the "most qualified" candidate to be OFPP administrator in a long time.
During his two years at OFPP administrator, Gordon worked on a variety of acquisition issues from improving and standardizing the workforce, to overseeing the implementation of strategic sourcing to pushing for more industry and agency communication through his mythbusters campaign.
Gordon took on long-standing problems such as requiring business cases for new multiple-award contracts to help gain control over these vehicles, which have grown dramatically in the last decade.
He led the charge for a civilian agency acquisition workforce training fund, though he failed to convince Congress of its need.
Gordon also spent a lot of time trying to rein in service contracting. OMB found agencies were using "risky" contracts such as time-and-materials and labor-hours type contracts and wanted agencies to shift to firm-fixed price type of contracts. OMB required agencies to cut the use of these contracts by 15 percent by 2014.
"I want to congratulate Dan on his move to GW later this year where as Dean Gordon he will continue to use his expertise in the world of federal procurement," Lew wrote. "We will continue to build on his important work to make sure our procurement system delivers for the American taxpayers, so that the progress he has helped bring about will continue to be felt well beyond his departure from federal service."
Stan Soloway, Professional Services Council president, called Gordon a "thought leader."
"From his myth-busters' campaign to his commitment to aggressively seeking input from all quarters, Dan has effectively sought to turn an environment dominated by hyperbole and rhetoric into a marketplace of ideas and constructive dialogue," Soloway said in a statement.
