After two days of break, the ball will again operate on lawns in South Africa for the semi-finals of the AFCON.
Four aces in the style of West African derby.
Curtain lifted on the semi-final, the Eagles in a duel in Durban.
For the first time in the competition's history, the final four sides at the Africa Cup of Nations are all West African. And so, as the 2013 installment of the continent's most prestigious tournament enters its penultimate phase, we have a pair of regional derbies to be played in Nelspruit and Durban.
Ghana, who have played all four of their matches in Port Elizabeth, will finally uproot and make the long journey northeast to Nelspruit, which has become the de-facto home of Burkina Faso. The Burkinabé have not conceded a goal since the first half of their opening match at Mbombela Stadium, so for Ghana to progress to the finals that many are expecting them to win they'll have to break an imposing 367-minute shutout streak.
The Black Stars, however, are the competition's top-scorers through four matches and have been getting their offense from everywhere.
Espanyol midfielder Wakaso Mubarak is their surprise scoring leader with three goals so far, but Kwadwo Asamoah and Christian Atsu have also found the back of the net in South Africa. Those two, along with Wakaso and captain Asamoah Gyan, help form a dangerous four-pronged attack.
On Wednesday their assignment will be to find a way through the Stallions' imposing defensive partnership of Bakary Koné and Paul Koulibaly, who are shielded by midfielders Issouf Ouattara and Charles Kaboré.
At the other end of the park Burkina Faso will be hoping iconic striker MoumouniDagano can nick one or that Jonathan Pitroipa repeats his heroics of Sunday, when he scored the extra-time winner against Togo in the quarterfinals.
Almost due south in Durban, two-time African champions Nigeria will be looking to derail the momentum of Mali, which has been inspired by the ongoing hostilities back home.
Mali captain Seydou Keita has been outspoken in his desire to bring happiness to his embattled countrymen who have been resisting, along with French intervention, the aggression of Islamist rebels from the country's north and on Saturday conducted his post-match press conference with the Malian tricolor draped over his shoulder.
Mali won their quarterfinal against tournament hosts South Africa on penalties but will need to dig even deeper into their reserve of inspiration if they're to beat Nigeria, who felled Ivory Coast on Sunday.
Nigeria manager Stephen Keshi was brave in selecting his Cup of Nations squad, opting to leave out establishment favourites Yakubu, Obafemi Martins, John Utaka and Peter Odemwingie. And despite a wealth of European talent at his beckon call, he brought five domestic-based players into his setup, two of which defender Godfrey Oboabona of Sunshine Stars and Enugu Rangers midfielder Sunday Mba started against the Ivorians. Mba scored what proved to be the winner with 12 minutes to play.
Keshi's bravery has already been vindicated, and Nigeria should be tipped to advance to Sunday's final in Johannesburg. But in their way is an opponent not only gifted in its own right, but motivated by current events as well. In any sport, at any level, that's a formidable mix.

International donors pledging $16B in Afghan aid
TOKYO (AP) -- A U.S. diplomatic official says international donors are pledging $16 billion in aid for Afghanistan in hopes of helping stabilize the country after most foreign combat troops depart at the end of 2014.
The announcement is expected later Sunday at a Tokyo conference attended by about 70 countries and organizations.
An American official traveling with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton confirmed the $16 billion figure -- $4 billion per year from 2012 through 2015 -- but spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the official word.
The U.S. portion is expected to be in the range of $1 billion to $2.3 billion.
The money is expected to come with conditions so that corruption and mismanagement in Afghanistan will not eat away at the aid. Further accountability measures are expected to stress the democratic process, the rule of law and human rights, especially those of women.

There's something about black line drawings with large fields of color that make me stop and stare each and every time. If it involves buildings and killer architecture there might even be a little drool involved. Budapest-based Lehel Kovacs has both down with his google street views series.

The 3M™ Littmann® Electronic Stethoscope Model 3200 has proprietary Ambient Noise Reduction (ANR) technology that cancels out, on average, 85% of ambient background noise that can interfere with the auscultation experience. Stores 12 thirty second tracks onboard the stethoscope, along with a 10 second comment to notate the sound. Snap tight soft-sealing eartips provide a comfortable fit and a tighter seal from ambient noise. State-of-the-art sound sensor provides a lifelike sound experience similar to a high-end cardiology stethoscope. Frictional noise reduction technology helps reduce handling noises compared to other stethoscopes. Up to 24X sound amplification. Rugged design for years of trouble-free operation.
Includes FREE Zargis StethAssist Heart and Lung Sound Visualization Software designed to visualize what you are hearing, allow playback when convenient, facilitate storage of sounds in patient records or transfer to colleagues for further analysis.
Your 3M™ Littmann Stethoscope comes with the Littmann Warranty -- if a material or manufacturing defect occurs during the warranty period, Littmann will repair it for free of charge, except in the cases of obvious abuse or accidental damage. If your warranty has expired, we have replacement parts and accessories here.

This product can be shipped anywhere in the 50 United States, Puerto Rico, The US Virgin Islands and APO and FPO addresses. Sorry, we cannot ship this product to any other address.
I really did not know how awesome the stethoscope was until after I had to go back to my master cardiology III. $400 seems like a lot to invest, however I will definitely be getting another one!
When it works, it works well. However the diaphragm cover is made of poor quality material that needs to be replaced every few months because it cracks & peels (which of coarse risks harboring critters because the diaphragm becomes impossible to fully clean). I also had to send my stethoscope off for repairs because it was having a feedback problem similar to the T M piercing sound one hears when a microphone and set of speakers are at odds with one another. However when it works, this is still the very best electronic stethoscope that I have ever tried out or owned.
This is a great stethoscope! I can hear the heart sounds so much better. I definitely recommend this!
I just received this for Christmas. I am beginning Nursing School in January, and I know this will help me get ahead of the rest of the class! I love it. I never saw on the description before, that this scope digitally shows the patient's heart rate when in use, which is a nice feature. I like that I can sync it up to my laptop or tablet and see the sounds I am listening to, as I am a visual learner, I know this will help me identify sounds while in simulations. I really enjoy it already. The software downloaded to be compatible with the scope has some great learning tools as well. This is definitely an investment in your career, might as well buy the best and let it serve you better and longer than basic scopes. The engraving was beautiful and will hopefully serve as deterrent for theft.
This is a great stethoscope for amplifying heart and lung sounds. It is lightweight and does not seem to drain battery power. As I am still learning the best way to use it I am sure I will find many more great qualities about this stethoscope.

Monitor lizards are generally large reptiles, although some can be as small as 12 centimetres in length. They have long necks, powerful tails and claws, and well-developed limbs. Most species are terrestrial, but arboreal and semi-aquatic monitors are also known. Almost all Monitor lizards are carnivorous, although Varanus prasinus and Varanus olivaceus are also known to eat fruit. They are oviparous, laying from 7 to 37 eggs, which they often cover with soil or protect in a hollow tree stump.
During the Pleistocene, giant monitor lizards lived in Southeast Asia and Australiasia, the best known fossil being Megalania prisca. Recently reclassified as a constituent of the genus Varanus, this species is an iconic member of the Pleistocene megafauna of Australia.
In Tamil and Malayalam monitor lizards are known as "Udumbu", while in Australia they are known as goannas. In Kannada monitor lizards are known as "Uda", and in Sinhalese, "Kabaragoya". In Telugu monitar lizards are known as "Udumu".
Varanid lizards are very intelligent, and some species can even count. Careful studies feeding V. albigularis at the San Diego Zoo varying numbers of snails showed that they can distinguish numbers up to six. V. niloticus have been observed to cooperate when foraging. One varanid lures the female crocodile away from her nest while the other opens the nest to feed on the eggs. The decoy then returns to also feed on the eggs.King, Dennis & Green, Brian. 1999. Goannas: The Biology of Varanid Lizards. University of New South Wales Press. ISBN 0-86840-456-X, p. 43. Komodo dragons, V. komodoensis, at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C., recognize their keepers and seem to have distinct personalities.
Monitor lizards have become a staple in the reptile pet trade. The most commonly kept monitors are the savannah monitor and Acklin's monitor, due to their relatively small size, low cost, and relatively calm dispositions. Nile monitors, white throated monitors,water monitors, Mangrove monitors, and emerald tree monitors have also been kept in captivity. Like all reptiles that are kept as pets, monitors need hiding places and an appropriate substrate. Monitors also need a large water dish in which they can soak their entire body. In the wild, monitors will eat anything they can overpower, but crickets, superworms, and the occasional rodent make up most of the captive monitors' diet. Boiled eggs, silkworms, earthworms, and feeder fish can also be fed to them. However, due to their predatory nature and large size some monitors can be dangerous to keep as pets; adult nile monitors and water monitors, for example can reach seven feet in length.
Genus Varanus

Bahir\'s DUP journal
I thought I might as well make a journal for my new split. I might not write down every workout, but hopefully, this will help me to keep track of my workouts.
My split is as follows:
Day 1: Upper body power - compound exercises, 3-5 sets each, around 5 reps each
Day 2: Lower body power - compound exercises, 3-5 sets each, around 5 reps each
Day 3: Rest day (might do cardio on rest days, or play basketball)
Day 4: Upper body hypertrophy - chest; triceps; biceps, 3-4 sets per exercise, 8-12 reps per set
Day 5: Lower body hypertrophy - legs; lower back (DL's); calves; abs, 3-4 sets per exercise, 8-12 reps per set
Day 6: Back/shoulders/traps, 3-4 sets per exercise, 8-12 reps per set
Day 7: Rest day
I might alter the program somewhat later depending on what I experience. I just realized that I might face some problems with doing back and shoulders on hypertrophy day, and then upper body power two days afterwards. If so, I'll probably reconfigure some things.
This is about how the workouts will look (the power days will probably always stay the same in terms of exercises, but I'll vary some of the exercises on hypertrophy days from workout to workout.
Upper power (3-5 sets per exercise, around 5 reps per set)
-Bench press
-Barbell rows
-Military press
-Dynamic barbell shrugs
Lower power (3-5 sets per exercise, around 5 reps per set)
-Smith mashine leg press/floor press (my gym has no regular leg press)
-Keystone stiff legged deadlifts
Rest day
Hypertrophy chest/triceps/biceps
-Incline bench press
-Flat dumbbell bench press
-Incline dumbbell bench press
-(triceps) Cable bar press supersetted with Alternating dumbbell curls
-Barbell curls supersetted with Rope pressdowns (triceps)
-Skullcrushers supersetted with Reverse barbell curls
Hypertrophy lower
-Leg curls
-Leg extensions
Hypertrophy back/shoulders/traps
-Barbell rows (? good doing this twice a split?)
-Dumbbell rows
-Dumbbell shoulder press supersetted with T-bar rows
-L-laterals supersetted with Dumbbell Shrugs
-Bent over laterals supersetted with pullovers
Rest day, then start over
First workout (15 June) - Upper body power
Bench press
100 kg's, 5 reps
100 kg's, 4 reps
97.5 kg's, 5 reps
97.5 kg's 4 reps (a bit unsure about this one, might have been less weight (95 kg's) or fewer reps)
Barbell rows
100 kg's, 8 reps
105 kg's, 6 reps
105 kg's, 5 reps
105 kg's, 5 reps
Standing military press (Haven't really done this exercise before, not so strong on it)
40 kg's, 10 reps
42.5 kg's, 8 reps
42.5 kg's, 7 reps
42.5 kg's, 5 reps
Dynamic barbell shrugs
130 kg's, around 10 reps, 4 sets
30 minutes of cardio
Second workout (16 June) - Lower body power
Squats (obviously not too strong on these, but that's what this day is for)
102.5 kg's, 6 reps
102.5 kg's, 5 reps
100 kg's, 6 reps
100 kg's, 3 reps
Keystone stiff legged deadlifts - haven't done this exercise at all before, didn't feel it much at all, except when I went pretty deep - then I felt it just above the backside of my knee.
Does anyone have a good alternative compound exercise for stiff legged DL's? I don't think I can do glute ham raises in my gym...
60 kg's, 12 reps
80 kg's, 10 reps - didn't feel it with this weight, so I lowered
60 kg's, 10 reps
60 kg's, 10 reps
Calf raises in hack squat mashine
150 kg's, 8-10 reps, 3 sets
30 minutes of cardio
Leg raises and crunches, both on a decline bench.

Hart works with both adults and children to strengthen their systems on the way to improving their physical complaints. Nearly half of Hart's practice is now with kids under twelve years old.
Hart is a graduate of the Caduceus Institute of Classical Homeopathy with a doctorate in vitalistic healing. Hart did his clinical training with several homeopaths in North Carolina and California and has had his own clients since 2006. He opened Dynamis Homeopathic Healing in the spring of 2008 and continues his post-graduate training with world-renowned practitioners, including Dr. Will Taylor, Jeremy Sherr, Karen Allen, Kim Elia and Anne Vervarcke, among others.
Hart pens articles and reviews for WholeHealthNow Books, has organized student clinical trainings for homeopath, Rosemary Hyde, and sometimes lectures on case analysis at the Caduceus Institute.
IMPORTANT: Homeopaths are not licensed in the state of North Carolina. Hart does not hold a medical degree and is not a licensed medical practitioner. As an unlicensed practitioner, Hart is not allowed to diagnose or treat specific medical conditions. Homeopathic treatment strengthens the body and gives it more flexibility in dealing with disease or injury, freeing the patient to do the actual work of healing. Hart often works alongside other practitioners, both alternative and conventional, to improve his clients' health.
Hart's story
When I came to homeopathy for help with debilitating allergies, I had lived for decades on antihistamines and decongestants and anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. Homeopathy showed me how to stop fighting my own body.
After homeopathy also helped my wife and my oldest child with their severe asthma, I decided to make a change of careers. Little did I know then that the study of homeopathy would bring a magic into my life that I hadn't experienced since childhood. It is so rewarding now to watch clients regain their energy and sense of purpose.
Most of my clients have suffered from some form of the pervasive malaise that we lump into the categary of "depression." I love watching them blossom as their homeopathic remedy reveals old habits that keep them ill at ease and prevent them living to their full potential. I particularly enjoy working with parents and kids together.

Hey, remember me?
Once upon a time, I was working on a project called 12 for 2012.
You may have been working on it, too.
The idea was to finish 12 UFO projects in 2012. One for each month, ya see?
I did great through August, finishing each of the first eight projects I set out to complete.
Then I went back to work and my "extra" time went out the window.
12 for 2012 is neither gone, nor forgotten, but it has shifted a little!
September is a quilt top to be quilted. It just needs backing fabric and then I'm sending it to a long arm quilter to be completed.
Now, I'm ready to work on October and am setting out to hand quilt the small applique piece from the beginner's class I took at Honey Bee Quilt Store. It's sitting on my chair, ready to get started!
Are you still working on 12 for 2012?
Dennis Daley permalinkNovember 14, 2012 10:16
I'm impressed Jennnifer! I started to do this too but somewhere along the line it didn't get off the ground. But you have inspired me to do 13 for 13! I definitely need to get busy. Found some awesome patterns to do for Linus and can't wait to get them and get started….ummm, maybe that should be 1300 for 13? LOL. Wish I could come Saturday as I had so much fun with everyone at the birthday celebration. Ahhh, another month….are you doing one in December?
Congratulations on finishing what you have finished….you are way ahead of me! Take care, don't work too hard. Hope to see you soon at Sew Much More.
November 14, 2012 17:13
I started to do this but I realized that it wouldn't work for me because I have too many large projects that would take months to complete. If I was doing some small projects for one per month, it might work out for me. I will have to figured out if I can select small to medium projects per month for 2013 goal.

Mecklenburg County plans to lift its 30-year ban on swimming at county parks on Lake Norman – possibly by the summer of 2015. The county Park & Recreation department will allow the access at Ramsey Creek Park, off Nantz Road in Cornelius.
Currently only people with boats or lakefront property have access to swim in the Lake. A series of drowning deaths in the 1970s prompted the swimming ban.
"Over the past few years there's been a lot of growing requests and need and recognition that 'Yes, we need to have public swimming on our lakes,'" Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Deputy Director Michael Kirschman said. "We have three major lakes – all in Mecklenburg County – with no public swimming facilities."
The town of Cornelius and the Lake Norman of Chamber of Commerce have been vocal advocates of public swimming access on the lake. Mr. Kirschman says the county has included $400,000 for a swimming beach at Ramsey Creek Park on its list of capital projects to be funded next year.
Assuming the county's financial situation continues to recover, Mr. Kirschman notes it will probably still take two years to get the permits and federal permission required for the beach.
Ultimately he says the county expects to add public swimming access on Lake Wylie and Mountain Island Lake, too.
[The issue of swimming on the lake came up at last Thursday's Lake Norman Chamber candidate forum in Huntersville, where incumbent Commissioner Karen Bentley announced that the county park and rec department had allocated $430,000 in its Fiscal 2014 capital projects budget to improve the beach at Ramsey Creek Park.
"This is great news for our lake communities and the residents of Mecklenburg County," chamber president and CEO Bill Russell said Friday. "It also will have a profound impact on travel and tourism and the families and children who visit us in the future."
"I've always thought our greatest liquid asset shouldn't be off limits to the public. Lake Norman is not just a body of water with 520 miles of shoreline – it is a lifestyle everyone should have the opportunity to experience," Mr. Russell said.]

Monuments honoring key national figures who championed race relations and education remain covered by tarps at the Oktibbeha County Education Building, but supervisors say they are working to not only remove those in the future, but also add plaques honoring local civil rights advocates.
Following an initial interview Saturday with Oktibbeha County Supervisor Joe Williams, the District 5 representative said he will present a list of potential county residents who could be honored at Unity Park, an action he said could lead to the monuments' full public unveiling.
Williams said he will present that list at a future county board meeting. Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors President Orlando Trainer confirmed the group will not hold its recess meeting Tuesday due to a lack of business to warrant the meeting.
The board of supervisors approved construction plans for Unity Park in 2011. The outdoor green space was a portion of the plans slated for the almost-$2 million county education building located between Mugshots and the Oktibbeha County Circuit Court Annex on West Main Street. Construction of the education building finished in 2011.
Seven plaques honoring national figures including President John F. Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and A. Phillip Randolph were placed but covered by tarp. Two of those plaques, architect Roger Pryor said, were left blank and can be engraved to honor others in the future if the county chooses to do so. One plaque presenting a timeline of Oktibbeha County civil rights events and other key dates was placed in the center of the arrangement.
A visual inspection by Starkville Daily News Saturday confirmed five of the seven plaques are engraved. A cost estimate for removing, engraving and replacing an individual plaque was not available at press time.
It is unclear who gave the order to keep the plaques covered since their placement, but Williams said in an initial interview Saturday individuals in the community want more local representation in terms of the monuments before the park's full unveiling. Williams stepped forward during a fall board meeting to work with residents to meet their needs for the park.
"There was citizen outcry pertaining to the fact that proper representation was not taking place (in regard to the plaques) with local grassroots individuals. Many felt Oktibbeha County citizens were under-represented," he said in the initial interview. "We're now gathering a committee of individuals to try and make some decisions in terms of what would be sufficient to go on at least one of those plaques."
When first asked if the tarps covering the completed plaques could be removed now and if future dedication ceremonies honoring local civil rights advocates could be held in the future, Williams said that "has not been the wishes of individuals" he has contacted.
"They wish to have more local representation added and then (unveil every Unity Park plaque) at the one time," Williams said in the initial interview. "The situation is … we've had many delegates of service. If they know what's (locally) there (on the plaques), they have motivation to come back and bring their children and family (for an unveiling ceremony)."
Williams' announcement of possible future monuments and a potential future unveiling came after SDN interviewed him and former Oktibbeha County NAACP President Dorothy Bishop. Williams and Bishop spoke following the separate SDN interviews Saturday.
Bishop, the first female leader of the county organization, approached the board last year asking for additional local representation at the park and also general progress with its unveiling. Bishop served for more than a decade as youth adviser for the county's Youth NAACP chapter before becoming the main entity's first female president in 1993. She has earned numerous NAACP honors, including the 1994 Fannie Lou Hamer Award.
Bishop initially said the board should unveil the park's plaques and continue to add more local representation. Keeping the plaques covered for more than a year since the education building's construction, she said, does not make sense.
"… I'm just tired of it all," Bishop said referring to the park's delays during the initial interview. "(Unveiling Unity Park) on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday would be the perfect time to do so, and if they're not through with adding plaques, they can continue to do that in the future.
"Sixty something years I've been fighting (for equality), and they couldn't even put my name up there," she said during the initial interview before speaking with Williams Saturday. "It needs to be unveiled for MLK; it needs to be unveiled for everybody. I'm not through fighting for this."
When contacted, other supervisors deferred specific questions about the park's unveiling to Williams.
"We've really put this issue on the back burner, but we need to go ahead, take action and finalize it," Trainer said. "To go forward without Mrs. Bishop's support, in my mind, would be an insult to her. We need to see if we can generate her support and also receive support from our citizens to move forward. I don't know many others in the public who have as much passion about this issue as Mrs. Bishop does."

Qatari Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani speaks at the first "Friends of Syria" conference in Tunis on February 24, 2012. (AFP/FETHI BELAID)
DOHA: Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani has accused the Syrian regime, with the complicity of the international community, of waging a "war of extermination" against its people.
Sheikh Hamad in an interview with Al-Jazeera satellite channel late on Monday took issue with UN-Arab League peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi, who earlier in the day had characterised the deadly conflict ravaging Syria as a "civil war."
"What is happening in Syria is not a civil war but a war of extermination against the Syrian people," Sheikh Hamad said.
This war, he charged, was being waged "with a licence to kill, endorsed firstly by the Syrian government and secondly by the international community."
He was apparently referring to Russia and China, which have repeatedly vetoed UN Security Council resolutions threatening action against President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
"We have confidence in Mr Brahimi... but we need him to develop a clear proposal for a solution that can be put before the Security Council paving the way for a transition period and a transfer of power," said Sheikh Hamad.
Brahimi, who saw the truce he had brokered for the four-day Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday shattered in an explosion of violence soon after it took effect on Friday, said in Moscow the situation in Syria was "bad and getting worse."
"If it's not a civil war, I don't know what it is," he said after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
Brahimi, who is also due to visit China, is to go to the UN Security Council in November with new proposals to push for talks between Assad and the opposition.
Qatar is widely accused of arming rebels fighting Assad's forces.
It called, without success, in the UN General Assembly last month for an Arab intervention force in Syria and a no-fly zone to protect refugees.

The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
Simon and Schuster, Nov 16, 2010 - History - 592 pages
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and now a documentary from Ken Burns on PBS, The Emperor of All Maladies is a magnificent, profoundly humane "biography" of cancer—from its first documented appearances thousands of years ago through the epic battles in the twentieth century to cure, control, and conquer it to a radical new understanding of its essence.
Physician, researcher, and award-winning science writer, Siddhartha Mukherjee examines cancer with a cellular biologist's precision, a historian's perspective, and a biographer's passion. The result is an astonishingly lucid and eloquent chronicle of a disease humans have lived with—and perished from—for more than five thousand years.
The story of cancer is a story of human ingenuity, resilience, and perseverance, but also of hubris, paternalism, and misperception. Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out "war against cancer." The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.
From the Persian Queen Atossa, whose Greek slave may have cut off her diseased breast, to the nineteenth-century recipients of primitive radiation and chemotherapy to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla, The Emperor of All Maladies is about the people who have soldiered through fiercely demanding regimens in order to survive—and to increase our understanding of this iconic disease.
Riveting, urgent, and surprising, The Emperor of All Maladies provides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments. It is an illuminating book that provides hope and clarity to those seeking to demystify cancer.

Etch-a-Sketch-y: Mitt Romney's communications director says Romney can reverse his far-right leanings
It's quite timely that a video has gone viral putting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's speeches to the "Real Slim Shady" song, implying that no one knows who the real Romney is - because Romney's communications director has just compared Romney in the primary to Romney in the general election to being able to shake up his beliefs like an Etch-a-Sketch.
Political comedian John Fugelsang asks on CNN, "Is there a concern that the pressure from Santorum and Gingrich might force the governor to attach so far to the right it would hurt him with moderate voters in the general election?"
Romney's communications director Eric Fehrnstrom responds, "Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch-a-Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again."
The media, President Obama's staffers and opponent Rick Santorum were quick to jump on that comment. Santorum even put it on his website, writing, "We all knew Mitt Romney didn't have any core convictions, but we appreciate his staff going on national television to affirm that point for anyone who had any doubts."
What do you think, politicos? Is it damaging?

Hendersonville Parking Survey: PPI Graduate Assistants completed a density survey using GIS maps and interviews for the downtown Hendersonville district.
Fall 2013 - Constitution Day Celebration: Each year, the PPI is responsible for planning and hosting the Constitution Day Celebrations on campus. Constitution Day, celebrated at universities and schools around the country, provides an opportunity for students to increase their knowledge of the Constitution; to improve their ability to read, research and analyze laws; and to improve written and oral communication skills as well as event and project management skills. Students from the PPI and the Pre-Law Club participated in organizing several events across campus. This year's events included a "Constitutional Game Show" on the University Center lawn; distribution of free U.S. Constitutions; and an evening forum on changes to North Carolina election laws. Held in the Bardo Center lecture hall, the forum was considered a big success, with elected officials and community members in attendance along with students; participants and those who could not make the event were provided with a written summary of election law changes available in print and online.
Fall 2013 - Appalachian Women's History Museum Funding Study: One of our graduate students created a focused research project to assist the Appalachian Women's Museum in Dillsboro, North Carolina, in developing a long-term funding strategy. The study provided examples, background, and recommendations for future funding prospects to help restore and manage an historic property in Western North Carolina.
Fall 2013-Spring 2014 - Local Government Surveys: The annual LoGoS (Local Government Survey) has been conducted by the PPI since 2012 and reaches out to all city and county managers in North Carolina to gauge their opinions on current issues facing local governments. This project allows students to improve quantitative, surveying, and communications skills, and provides one of the only recurring sources of annual data on local governance in the state. Our students choose the topic, develop questions, manage mailings, analyze results, and write reports based on the findings of the survey. The report is then distributed to local government leaders throughout the state. In 2013, our survey focused on citizen interactions and communications with local governments; in 2014, we chose to focus on personnel issues and policies in local governments.
Fall 2013 - Town of Maiden Parks Plan: The PPI makes every effort to place graduate students interested in research into beneficial projects that allow them to manage and lead a project that benefits a local town or agency. This fall, one of our graduate students assisted the Town of Maiden with a parks plan that guided redevelopment and upgrades for three parks in the town limits. This plan allowed the student to improve organizational and communication skills; employ new research methods and tools such as GIS and environmental assessments; learn real-world budgeting skills; and build relationships with diverse groups to create a proposal that would meet the Town's needs.
Fall 2013-Spring 2014 - Henderson County Sheriff's Office Survey: Surveying more than 4,000 citizens, the PPI assisted the Henderson County Sheriff's Office in conducting a Citizen Satisfaction Survey, obtaining survey results that demonstrated how people perceived crime in their communities and their level of satisfaction with law enforcement agencies. Students assisted in developing and distributing the survey as well as in analyzing the results. This allowed the PPI (and our graduate students) the opportunity to assist a local government partner that is working to improve the quality of life for all their residents.
Fall 2013 - University Emergency Services Survey: Led by one of our graduate students, the PPI created and distributed a survey to all colleges and universities in the U.S. that focused on how their emergency services infrastructure is organized. The survey included questions on notification systems, funding sources, and other issues relevant to emergency management personnel.
Spring 2014: Cullowhee Revitalization Endeavor (CuRvE) River Corridor Survey: Our community partner, CuRvE, is a local nonprofit focused on revitalizing areas adjacent to campus for recreational and economic use. We created and implemented a survey for students, faculty, staff, and community members about user preferences for a river area along Old Cullowhee Road. Survey results will be used as part of a larger economic impact study and allowed our students to learn how their quantitative and surveying skills can be applied to larger issues, such as funding and economic development.
Continuing Programs - Western North Carolina Food Policy Council: The PPI is a founding partner and host organization for the WNC Food Policy Council, an organization that aims to build more effective policies that strengthen WNC's food economy and increase economic security for all residents of the seven-county region (Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Swain, Jackson, Macon and Haywood). The WNCFPC brings together food producers, policy leaders, academic researchers, food security agencies, and local governments to address policy issues for agricultural development and food security, and acts as the state point of contact for many hunger alleviation and agricultural development programs.
North Carolina 11th Congressional District Debate was held on Tuesday October 23, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. in the A.K. Hinds University Center Theater. This event was hosted by the Public Policy Institute and the Department of Political Science and Public Affairs. The debate featured Congressional candidates Mark Meadows and Hayden Rogers. Russ Bowen, news anchor and reporter for WLOS-TV was the moderator. For pictures from the debate, check out the PPI Picture Gallery.
Black Mountain Public Input Project: We worked with the Town of Black Mountain in order to gauge public input on the future of Town Square. We have worked with many local governments and non-profits in western North Carolina and believe we have the knowledge and experience to produce a useful report that will help guide the town to make the best decision possible. Our proposal included three main components: (1) focus groups, (2) a scientifically conducted survey, and (3) presenting the results to the town in the most useful way possible. For more information concerning the Black Mountain Town Square Consultancy Project Proposal, click here.
American Youth Congress: The Public Policy Institute presents the American Youth Congress (AYC) each year with the goals of teaching the importance of civic education and responsible citizenship to the middle school and high school students in Western North Carolina. We are able to better equip our youth with the knowledge and importance of civic duty by teaching how the legislative process works and providing a better understanding of the actual process. Not only do students have the opportunity to have a hands-on experience of the legislative process, but they get the chance to speak to and learn from a key, local political representative. This event has been such a great learning tool for students in our region that it has become part of the annual curriculum for many schools. Along with giving middle and high school age students a realistic learning opportunity, the AYC allows for undergraduate and graduate students to gain leadership, and business skills necessary for success while implementing this project. For more on the AYC, click here.
SMN Public Opinion Poll: The WCU Public Policy Institute teamed up with the Smoky Mountain News to produce a scientific public opinion poll focusing solely on Jackson County. For specific survey results and details on the poll, please click here.
Public Policy Students Publish Work on Wikipedia - The Reporter, February 9, 2011
College Poll Worker Program: Western Carolina University's Public Policy Institute sponsored a collaborative effort to recruit more students and citizens with diverse backgrounds to serve as poll workers in county elections. Election administration in western North Carolina measures an average age of poll workers in Buncombe County at 60 and in Jackson County at 68. In addition to questions about the representativeness of poll workers drawn overwhelmingly from older residents, there are not enough younger people being trained to replace this increasingly aging poll worker population. In 2009, to help solve the problem, the Public Policy Institute helped coordinate the recruitment of students to serve in Jackson and Buncombe county precincts for the 2009 and 2010 elections. For more information about our ongoing efforts, visit the Jackson County Board of Elections or the Buncombe County Board of Elections.

Second seed Simona Halep survived a scare at the US Open by overtaking American wild card Danielle Collins 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-2 in Monday's opening center court match.
The French Open finalist moves on to face Slovakian Jana Cepelova, a 2-6, 7-5, 6-1 winner over Spain's Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor, in the second round of the season's last grand slam.
But the 22-year-old Romanian had a tricky time getting by Collins, a US college champion from the University of Virginia. Down a break at 3-4, the 20-year-old American brought the set back on serve at 4-all and with her confidence growing the collegian ran away with the decider by taking advantage of a slew of errors from Halep. That shock seemed to snap the Romanian back to attention, and bring her groundstrokes under control as she roared to victory over Collins, who was playing her first tour-level main draw match.
"She played a tough match, I want to congratulate her," world number two Halep said in an on-court interview. "First set I was a little bit nervous. This court is huge. It's my best ranking ever and best moment of my life. I have to enjoy it, but it's not easy. Everybody is telling me I have chances to win this title."
Halep, who broke through last season by notching her first six career tour titles, has two titles this season and finished runner-up to Maria Sharapova at Roland Garros in her first grand slam final.
Veterans show
Two 23-year-olds, Milos Raonic and Grigor Dimitrov, broke through to their first major semifinals at Wimbledon. this year's U.S. Open will be the tipping point for the rise of a new generation. But recent history suggests that if an outsider seizes on the trace of vulnerability in the "Big 4" to win in New York, it's more likely to be a veteran. "We didn't have many young players who were able to challenge for top spots and win Grand Slam titles," Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic said. "So this is something that is happening now, but it's still a long way to the Grand Slam title. It's not something that can happen overnight."
It was then-28-year-old Stan Wawrinka who snapped the streak of 16 straight Grand Slam titles by Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray when he won the Australian Open in January. The only other men in the U.S. Open field who have reached a major final in the past five years are 32-year-old David Ferrer and 28-year-old Tomas Berdych. The player with the most impressive performance leading up to this tournament was a 29-year-old. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the runner-up at the 2008 Australian Open, beat Djokovic, Murray, Dimitrov and Federer to win the title at Toronto earlier this month.

Thoughts as material objects - impact on evaluations
It's hard to get rid of unwanted thoughts. What about just throwing them in the garbage like unwanted objects? In some conditions might we discard our thoughts as easily as we dispose of objects? If Mr. Descartes was right (straw man, I know), a thought cannot literally be thrown into the garbage, because it does not have a material or physical nature. If a component of our cognition is taken to be a physical object, we should be able to discard it. Briñol et al. make some observations relevant to these points. Their experiments involved subjects writing down positive and negative thoughts about their bodies. First, their abstract:
In Western dualistic culture, it is assumed that thoughts cannot be treated as material objects; however, language is replete with metaphorical analogies suggesting otherwise. In the research reported here, we examined whether objectifying thoughts can influence whether the thoughts are used in subsequent evaluations. In a firstexperiment participants wrote about what they either liked or disliked about their bodies. Then, the paper on which they wrote their thoughts was either ripped up and tossed in the trash or kept and checked for errors. When participants physically discarded a representation of their thoughts, they mentally discarded them as well, using them less in forming judgments than did participants who retained a representation of their thoughts. A second experiment replicated this finding and also showed that people relied on their thoughts more when they physically kept them in a safe place—putting their thoughts in their pockets—than when they discarded them. A final study revealed that these effects were stronger when the action was performed physically rather than merely imagined.Now, a bit more detail on the first experiment:
The experiment was presented as a study on body image. All participants received written instructions asking them to complete several tasks. As part of the first task, each participant was randomly assigned to generate and write down either positive or negative thoughts about his or her own body during a 3-min period. In the positive-thoughts condition, participants were told to list as many positive thoughts about their bodies as they could; in the negative-thoughts condition, participants were told to list as many negative thoughts about their bodies as they could (e.g., Killeya & Johnson, 1998). Examination of the thoughts listed indicated that all participants followed the instructions.
After listing his or her thoughts, each participant was randomly assigned to either the thought-disposal or the control condition. All participants were asked to look back at the thoughts they wrote. In the thought-disposal condition, participants were asked to contemplate their thoughts and then throw them into the trash can located in the room, because their thoughts did not have to remain with them. In the control condition, participants were asked to contemplate their thoughts and to check for any grammar or spelling errors they could find.
The dependent variable in our analysis was participants' attitudes toward their bodies. Participants were told that they should record these attitudes because their self-image might have influenced their previous responses. Attitudes were assessed using three 9-point semantic-differential scales (e.g., bad-good, unattractive-attractive, like-dislike). Ratings were highly intercorrelated (α = .88), so we averaged them (after reverse scoring as appropriate) to create a composite attitude index. Higher values on this index indicated more favorable attitudes.From their discussion:
Consistent with our hypothesis that a thought-disposal treatment can influence judgments by invalidating people's thoughts, results showed that the attitudes of participants who physically threw their thoughts away showed less impact of the thought-direction induction than did the attitudes of participants who physically retained their thoughts....It is important to note that because the treatment was induced after thoughts were already generated, it could not affect the valence or the number of participants' thoughts. Rather, the treatment decreased the strength of the influence that participants' thoughts had on their attitudes.

Eminem walks on water in 'Rap God' video - watch
If the title "Rap God" doesn't fully make clear how Eminem views himself, the just-released music video for the track ought to do the trick.
Released on Wednesday (Nov. 27), the six minute epic video finds the rapper pay homage to those who inspired him, recreate a few battle scenes from his film "8 Mile" and, eventually, become the deity in the title and walk on water.
It's an impressive video that showcases Eminem's technical prowess, but doesn't make any effort to scrub up his offensive lyrics, still full of uncensored homophobic slurs. So, be careful where you watch.
Check out Eminem's NSFW "Rap God" video above and sound off in the comments below with your thoughts.

This is my second post on this topic, wherein is a discussion on why survey wording matters. The last post dealt with the "Obama is quantitatively ahead of his GOP rivals spin," which wasn't technically true and would be irrelevant if it was. This one deals with an issue that's a little more tangled and open to interpretation – but not much. The question is whether Israelis favor an attack on Iran without the prospect of gaining U.S. support, which they don't.
This finding is being spun to show they don't favor an attack over current U.S. public objections. The data shows, bluntly, the opposite.
The poll asked respondents: "There has been increased talk of a military strike by Israel against Iran's nuclear facilities, even though the United States, the UK and Germany have advised against it. What do you think Israel should do?" Putting aside the negatively valenced wording (that "even though" could get dicey in a low-information environment, but maybe it's a translation quirk), the results were:
"Strike Iran's nuclear facilities, even without the support of the US" – 19 percent
"Strike only if Israel gains at least American support" – 42 percent
"Do not strike" – 34 percent
The spin is that under the current configuration – with the U.S. "advising against" a strike – only 19 percent of Israelis support the action. But that's not what the question asked. It asked about U.S. "support," against the backdrop of current U.S. "advi[ce]." It's entirely possible that most Israelis believe the U.S. would still "support" a strike despite Obama's current position, in which case the number in favor would be closer to 61 percent. And it turns out, per a subsequent question in the very same survey, that's exactly what they do think!
Respondents were asked: "Given America's recommendation that Israel not strike Iran, what do you believe the U.S. government's reaction would be if Israel strikes anyway?"
"It would join the war on Israel's behalf" – 27 percent
"It would support Israel diplomatically, but not provide military assistance" – 39 percent
"It would stay neutral" – 14 percent
"It would punish Israel by reducing its current support to Israel" – 15 percent
So most respondents would be reluctant to support an attack unless the U.S. ended up supporting Israel, but most respondents think the U.S. will end up supporting Israel. Unless there's something very strange going on inside the crosstabs, where the people who think the U.S. would support an attack are also the ones who categorically oppose the attack, then there's a clear majority for a strike.
The best way to aggressively spin the question, then, is to extensively describe the first question but not tell readers how the second question was worded. Want to guess how Media Matters posted the poll?
Israeli officials, including its foreign minister, have hinted that such an attack would be their decision and their decision alone. But a poll released today by the University of Maryland showed that Israelis don't support that policy… Only 19 percent of Israelis polled expressed support for an attack without U.S. backing… while 42 percent endorsed a strike only if there is at least U.S. support… More than a quarter of those surveyed think the U.S. would join an Israeli war, and nearly one in four said the U.S. would give Israel diplomatic but not military support.
This is nicely done. It establishes plausible deniability by acknowledging that the second question exists, but it doesn't give the full wording, which would contradict the rest of the post. Nonetheless, Israelis think the U.S. will support its democratic ally against a declared enemy of both countries, and on that basis they support a strike against Iran. That might be naive, but it's what the survey shows.
Caveat: it could be the wording is different in the Hebrew. This criticism relies on Israelis functionally imagining that the actual American position is – stated or unstated, but in reality – "we recommend/advise you not to do this, but we'll support you if you do." That's the interpretation most consistent with the question wording in English. If the first question in Hebrew somehow equated "advice" with "support," or if there's something going on with "gains" that implies prior support, then that would weaken this particular criticism. But equating advice and support creates other problems – e.g. given that 20 percent of Israelis are undecided on Iran, it's bush league polling to frontload a question with global opposition, implying there's probably a good reason for that opposition.

The Warmest Day For A WeekMarch 23rd, 2013 at 9:00 am by Jeff Edmondson WAVY under Weather
For this Saturday we are going to see a mix of sunshine and clouds coming from a storm that will be passing us to our south.
The closest storm near Atlanta will just bring us the clouds and a sprinkle or two for the OBX today. The second storm is close to Dallas now and is expected to strengthen today. That storm system should arrive across the Tidewater tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow morning we might have a quick taste of sunshine right at sunrise. (7:03am) Then the clouds will quickly block the sun as we have a chance for some rain by tomorrow afternoon.
The rainfall should stick around for the entire afternoon on Sunday and continue all the way in to Monday. For the start of the workweek on Monday we still could have scattered showers as the cold backside of the storm moves across the region. Temperatures should stay in the mid to upper 40s tomorrow through Wednesday. Wind speeds will also pick up on Monday to be around 20mph from the North.
Over the course of the next week that North or Northwest wind will continue, so basically we will stay below normal for highs for at least another week across Hampton Roads. Normal high today is 60 degrees.
Enjoy the dry day today,
Meteorologist Jeff Edmondson
