text: So I'm through to the final 8. I'm so delighted to go through to the finals, but annoyingly can't relax yet as the challenges of retooling the performance for tomorrow become clear in my head. A number of things went wrong in my prep and in my performance; stupid things like forgetting milk and not having the grinder switched on. The result was a more nervous thud, who possibly used old milk giving me horribly bubbly milk for the capps. In addition, the bar wasn't lighted as much as I'd have liked, so I didn't actually see the poor quality milk till I started pouring the capps. I don't normally use the milk provided but the sponsor this year was the milk I was going to use anyway so I didn't really consider I may end up grabbing an old one or how the light of the last few days might mess it up. Tomorrow I won't make the same mistake. I regretted also not bringing my grinder of choice, the WBC spec Compak into the latte art comp yesterday as after 15 minutes practice and the shots in my prep, I didn't feel as comfortable or in control as I did in practice last weekend. Tomorrow I only have 15 minutes practice on the machine, (which is a daft idea seeing as today there were 27 competitors and tomorrow only 8 ) and will spend most of this time dialing in the grind, and familiarising my self with the speed of the compak as opposed to the super jolly I used for the latte art comp yesterday. I wasn't as nervous as I feared I may be, but I did sweat a lot (samples given on request), and I perhaps didn't smile as much as I'd have liked to. That said, I finished in time, and the sig drink turned out well. I'll give a more detailed post on my performance tomorrow, but to give you the jist; Coffee Collective Coffee (which has honestly brought my number of great wholly tasty espressos up to around 15), and a sig drink using almond milk, chocolate malt and espresso. I'll write how I developed the performance and some of the challenges we faced, but for the moment, I just wanna give my thanks to Jen, Tim, Karl, James, Anette, Family, son, and the good aul boys at Coffee Collective, I really am just beard and belly without you.

At this point, most people have heard how important omega-3 essential fatty acids are to good heart health. The reason they're called "essential" is that your body doesn't manufacture them—so you need to get them in foods (such as wild salmon), or a supplement.
But it's not enough just to get omega-3s—it's vitally important to get enough DHA omega-3s. Let me explain …
The Benefits of DHA
Omega-3s come in two forms: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While both are important, DHA is the more beneficial and protective component of the two, specifically for the heart, brain and eyes.
For blood pressure, research shows DHA supplementation has a far better effect in promoting normal blood pressure levels.
Your arteries require DHA. In a study of postmenopausal women, those with the highest levels of DHA, not EPA, showed significantly better coronary artery health.
DHA boosts your circulation. In a study, DHA outperformed EPA for improving vasodilation and endothelial function—both of which are critical to healthy circulation.
Your eyes need DHA. Several studies have shown that the benefits of DHA intake include eye health—and that it's absolutely required by your retinas for health and function.
DHA promotes healthy mental processing. A nine-year study showed that DHA, not EPA, is associated with better cognitive health and brain function.
What's the best way to get DHA omega-3s? Good food sources of DHA include wild salmon, sardines and DHA-fortified eggs. Omega-3s are also found in fish and krill oil.
But DHA is naturally found in higher levels in Calamarine™, which is an extract that comes from calamari. That's the reason I've included Calamarine in my Omega Q Plus formula.
What's also important is that Calamarine can be successfully combined with CoQ10—which is something you don't get with all fish oils. But with any form of omega-3s you take, you want to make sure it's heavily weighted in DHA over EPA. That way, you get the maximum benefits of DHA for your heart, brain, and eye health.
Now it's your turn: What's your favorite way to get the benefits of DHA omega-3s?

Hot on the heels of a recent Windows Blue rumor comes another rumor: the impending death of Windows RT.
As I'm sure most of you know by now, Windows RT is the tablet-specific version of Windows 8 that runs on ARM processors and can only run Windows RT-specific apps from Windows Store (not all Windows programs). Maybe it was price. Maybe it was confusion. Mybe it was simply a bad product. Whatever the reason may be, Windows RT has not yet been received well by the masses. Quoting "sources from the upstream supply chain", DigiTimes is reporting that, because of this lack of enthusiasm on the part of consumers, Microsoft is now planning on killing off Windows RT and merging it into Windows Blue.
It is unclear if this means Windows on ARM will exist but just without a different name or if Windows on ARM is dead for good. One thing is for sure; less choice, even confusing choice, is probably not so good for consumers. Let's see what happens.

Maybe it was the Win RT only apps…?
MSFT needs to clean house, top to bottom. Not "too big to fail" and doing a very good job of it.
Windows RT .
Now if they would just euthanize Win 8, ditch Blue, and concentrate on designing a decent OS again. I have a name for it: Windows Returns.
Seems that MS is slowly killing off MS nowadays.

This week Vice President Guy Scott travelled to South Africa to conduct media interviews to address flagging confidence in the government's spotty record on democracy, rights abuses, and anti-corruption.
Following widespread negative coverage raised by an opposition press conference and presentation of a report to the Commonwealth, Dr. Scott appeared on SABC and Channel Africa radio to say that the Patrotic Front (PF) government has found "a lot of prima facie cases" against Movement for Multiparty Democracy members who served under former President Rupiah Banda and now under Nevers Mumba.
The separate interviews were arranged by the Zambian mission in Pretoria.
According to a statement from Zambia's first Secretary for Press at the mission in South Africa Patson Chilemba, Dr Scott said the unearthing of over K 2 billion at former Labour Minister Austin Liato's farm and the discovering of 2000 bicycles at former Mines Minister Maxwell Mwale house was a tip of the iceberg that the MMD was involved in corruption.
According to the media release, Dr Scott said the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) gave an opportunity to former President Rupiah Banda to clear his name over the corruption allegations tagged to him, but he snubbed the anti graft agency. However, according to the former president's lawyers, the attempt to issue this summons was unlawful given his immunity.
The statement says that former President Banda and his team decided to hold a press conference in South Africa after snubbing the ACC in order to garner international sympathy.
The office of former president Rupiah Banda has categorically stated that the former president did not attend the press conference since he was in South Africa on a private visit.
"The same MMD lifted the immunity of former president Frederick Chiluba in order to allow him to be prosecuted and there is a very good precedence already. We have found a lot of prima facie evidence against the MMD," the statement quotes Dr Scott.
The statement reads that Dr Scott said Mr Banda was guaranteed of the rule of law currently obtaining in Zambia and no court would send him to jail if he was not guilty of the allegations against him.
"We are very tough on corruption and that is why we are not happy. They are squirming under the pressure," reads another part of the statement.
Other opposition representatives have critically questioned the PF's commitment to fighting corruption, especially following an incident when the Minister of Justice Wynter Kabimba arrived to the investigative wings with a group of violent cadres and then refused to answer questions. Other high profile cases, such as claims against the Minister of Defence, have also failed to advance.
The media release says Dr Scott wondered why UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and his MMD counterpart Dr Nevers Mumba decided to hold a press conference in South Africa because the same event was well covered by the Zambia media.
The statement says Dr Scott explained that even the public media, which was being used as a tool for propaganda by the MMD was operating with more freedom and covering the opposition political parties as well.
The release says Dr Scott explained that Zambia was not a one party state and the PF government would not wish for the nation to become one.
"I think it is hysterical what they are doing. I think it is far too over blown. They are losing. They are basically becoming weaker and weaker. We are getting stronger and they say it is because we are using unfair tricks, but we are winning by-elections handsomely. "There is no unlawful imprisonment in Zambia, no military take over. If you want to excite the world press come to South Africa," the statement quotes Dr Scott.

Daily Temperature (°F) -20 History and Culture History Malemiut, Kauweramiut, and Unalikmiut Eskimos have occupied the Seward Peninsula historically, with a well-developed culture adapted to the environment. Around 1870 to 1880, the caribou declined on the peninsula and the Eskimos changed their diets. Gold discoveries in the Nome area had been reported as far back as 1865 by Western Union surveyors seeking a route across Alaska and the Bering Sea. But it was a $1500-to-the-pan gold strike on tiny Anvil Creek in 1898 by three Scandinavians, Jafet Lindeberg, Erik Lindblom, and John Brynteson, that brought thousands of miners to the "Eldorado." Almost overnight an isolated stretch of tundra fronting the beach was transformed into a tent-and-log cabin city of 20,000 prospectors, gamblers, claim jumpers, saloon keepers, and prostitutes. The gold-bearing creeks had been almost completely staked, when some entrepreneur discovered the "golden sands of Nome." With nothing more than shovels, buckets, rockers and wheel barrows, thousands of idle miners descended upon the beaches. Two months later the golden sands had yielded one million dollars in gold (at $16 an ounce). A narrow-gauge railroad and telephone line from Nome to Anvil Creek was built in 1900. The City of Nome was formed in 1901. By 1902 the more easily reached claims were exhausted and large mining companies with better equipment took over the mining operations. Since the first strike on tiny Anvil Creek, Nome's gold fields have yielded $136 million. The gradual depletion of gold, a major influenza epidemic in 1918, the Great Depression, and World War II each influenced Nome's population. A disastrous fire in 1934 destroyed most of the city. Culture The population of Nome is a mixture of Inupiat Eskimos and non-Natives. Although some employment opportunities are available, subsistence activities are prevalent in the community. Former villagers from King Island also live in Nome. Nome is the finish line for the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from Anchorage, held each March.

The Port of Nome plays an essential role in regional transportation infrastructure. Nome is primarily accessible by air, although containerized household goods, building materials, vehicles, heavy equipment, and all petroleum products arrive by water during summer months. There are 10-12 cargo barges and 8-10 fuel barges/tankers that make scheduled deliveries each season. An additional trans-loading facility in the Inner Harbor was built in 2013 to address congestion at the existing barge ramp and allow more efficient transfers of cargo and rolling stock. The Small Boat Harbor plays host to about 25 commercial fishing vessels and a large offshore mining fleet which at times exceeds capacity. Alaska DOT's Snake River Bridge Replacement Project was completed in 2013 and will facilitate the increased traffic to and from the Port. Two state-owned airports are located in the community. The Nome Airport, located one mile northwest of the City, has two paved runways. Nome City Field, less than one mile north of the City, offers an additional gravel strip. Scheduled jet flights are available, as well as charter and helicopter services.

Recipe by Bea Gassman
"This is a true Pennsylvania Dutch staple."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup
brown sugar
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1 cup
boiling water
1/2 cup
dark corn syrup
1/2 cup
1/4 teaspoon
1 (9 inch)
unbaked pie crust
A very good recipe- my family is Pennsylvania Dutch in heritage, though we now live near Philadelphia. This is like the Dutchies make it! I was successful using 1 cup molasses (Brer Rabbit brand makes a full flavor, which I like, and mild flavor for those who want a tamer version) instead of the 1/2 molasses, 1/2 corn syrup blend. I have never krown a PA Dutchie to use corn syrup.
I came across this website and thought this recipe seemed quite easy and that it would come out pretty good-- no way! I used the other reviewer's advice and added extra shortening to the crumb mixture and was using blackstrap molasses as well but it turned into a molasses goo. Did anyone else have this problem? This is my FIRST disgraceful baking experience of all my 12 or so years baking many different recipes!! I've moved on to find a more authentic Pennsylvania Dutch recipe for shoo-fly pie, if I find a good one I'll post it on here.... I give this recipe 2 thumbs down! Suzie
18 Ratings
No doubt a true PA Dutch staple. One bite and I was immediately taken back to my home town in Berks County. Molasses (blackstrap is preferred) is the key ingrediant... Also, a variation that my folks use is "Turkey Syrup" rather than corn syrup - - - I have never been able to find it though outside of Berks or Lancaster counties. Thanks Bea!!
There crumbs are all used to top the pie in a real Pa. Dutch pie. They are not mixed with other ingredients.
I've made numerous recipes for Shoofly Pie and this one was easy and turned out great! wonderful treat!!
This recipe is awesome. I have been looking for a traditional Shoo-Fly pie, and this is it! The only thing that I would change is to add more shortening to make the crumbs, especially if you don't have a pastry cutter. Very tasty!
my family is pa dutch as are all of our neighbors. where i come from it is imperative for a woman to know how to make the very best of the traditional pa dutch foods. i make one of the best shoo flies in the county nd i use this recipe(with a few minor changes). thankyou for posting this recipe ....btw..if you mess this recipe up then you should probably work on your baking skills.
I made this recipe several different times, I need to know if the crust is supose to absorb the molasses mixture? That looks to me like the pie burnt. Is that why it is called Wet bottom? I find it hard to cut it as well.

The Government of Canada is deeply concerned by recent events in Mali especially after the declaration of a nationwide state of emergency on January 11, 2013 by the president of Mali.
On February 15, 2013, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird extended Canada's assistance to France through the extension of one CC-177 Globemaster aircraft until March 15. This aircraft is available to France to move equipment and personnel to Mali's capital, Bamako. This aircraft and Canadian Armed Forces personnel will not be part of combat operations. Canada will continue to monitor events in Mali and the Sahel.
In addition to our logistical support, Canada will continue to provide humanitarian aid and development assistance to this region to help alleviate the worsening humanitarian conditions in the region.
Travel Advice
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against all travel to Mali due to political instability and ongoing military clashes, as well as the threat of terrorism, banditry and kidnapping in northern Mali.
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada has taken the precaution of authorizing the departure of dependents of Canadian Embassy staff as well as non-essential staff in Bamako in light of the volatile security situation. If you are still in Mali, you should leave immediately.

Committees of trustees oversee the Commission's staff research and take policy positions based on that research. CBC has three standing committees that address recurring issues: Budget Policy, Competitiveness and Transportation. The CBC also creates ad hoc committees to examine issues that do not fall under the auspices of these standing committees, but are seen as important to the Commission's mission. Currently, there are three ad hoc committees: Economic Development, Solid Waste Management and Port Authority. Other recent ad hoc committees have included State and Local Realignment, Rent Regulation, Public-Private Partnerships, Parks and Public Authority Reform.
Budget Policy
Walter Harris, Co-Chair
Alair A. Townsend, Co-Chair
This committee reviews the annual city and state budgets and develops policy positions on the proposed and adopted budgets. The Committee also identifies topics for research in the areas of collective bargaining, pension benefits and public employee health insurance.
David R. Greenbaum, Co-Chair
Vishaan Chakrabarti, Co-Chair
This Committee is concerned with how the New York metropolitan region can become more competitive for jobs and residents. It has undertaken comparative analyses of public infrastructure important to business activities and completed a project on the impact of "green" policies on the competitiveness of New York City. Early in 2013 the Committee released a scorecard on the competiveness of the New York region in attracting educated and talented workers, and the staff will be updating that scorecard in future years.
Seth P. Bernstein, Co-Chair
Steven M. Polan, Co-Chair
This Committee's recent work has focused on the finances of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It oversaw a multi-year project on the implementation of the MTA's capital program and published a series of indicators and comparative benchmarks for the efficiency of subway, bus and commuter rail services. The Committee is currently focused on ways to finance the MTA's capital program and balance its operating budget.
Economic Development & Housing
Sheila Davidson, Co-Chair
Mark Willis, Co-Chair
This Committee assesses the effectiveness of state and municipal economic development and housing programs and seeks to identify ways to make public sector efforts in this arena more cost-effective and accountable. It completed studies of the State's Empire Zone program and the New York Power Authority, and continues to monitor the State Regional Councils. In late 2013 the Committee released a report outlining options for making more effective use of the New York City Economic Development Corporation. The Committee's current work is analyzing housing affordability in New York City, including the nature of the affordability problem, the administration's housing proposals, and the viability of public housing.
Solid Waste Management
Carol Rosenthal, Co-Chair
Michael Ryan, Co-Chair
This committee was launched in mid-2011 to find ways to reduce the more than one billion dollars per year cost to taxpayers of disposing of New York City's garbage. The Committee released its first report in May 2012 on the savings from reducing reliance on long-distance exporting to out-of-state landfills and expanding use of waste-to-energy plants. The Committee's second report will evaluate the cost of picking up garbage and recycling and propose cost efficiencies.
Port Authority
Steven Cohen, Co-Chair
Robert Lamb, Co-Chair
This new Committee held its first official meeting on February 21, 2013. The Committee reviewed a background memorandum, and they agreed with its recommendation to pursue research aimed at improving the PANYNJ's budget process and improving the profitability of its PATH and maritime port operations.
Innovation Prize
Thomas J. Brodsky, Co-Chair
Justin S. Steinberg, Co-Chair
This committee seeks to identify and highlight a New York City or State government agency that demonstrates an innovative approach to providing government services. The CBC awards this prize at its annual dinner both to celebrate creative thinking and to share government achievements with the public and other agencies. To learn more, click here.

Bethel University - Comments and Student Experiences
If you are a student looking to transfer to a different University, or if you do not know anyone who goes to Bethel and you plan on living off campus, then Bethel is NOT the place for you.Living off campus makes it very, very hard to find your place and feel welcome. In my first few months there, I hated going to class. I felt (and still feel) very left out and unwelcome. I like to enjoy life and have fun and I am a very, very social person but I have found no happiness at Bethel. Most of the students are very sheltered and seem so innocent- they just enjoy living in their Bethel bubble. It's somewhat refreshing to hear that there are other students who do not feel welcome at the school; when I walk around I feel like I am the only one who doesn't fit in. The profs are good and the education is good, but everyone seems very close minded. This is NOT a place for transfer students who plan on living off campus with non-Bethel people.
I really was strong in my faith when I came here and now I barely believe in God because of how fake and hypocritical everyone on campus is. I like to party about 2-3 times a week and I get judged extremely hard here and I don't even get extremely wasted. It is honestly worse than high school, if you're not in the very christian group of people then jocks are popular everyone else is a loser. I have never felt more unwelcome. It is a set of 2 big cliques, the Jesus Freaks and the "Popular" kids. If you do not get into these groups during the first month of school you will have literally nothing to do at all on the weekends. I literally watch netflix and play music in my room on friday and saturday nights all alone if I am not at a different public school hanging out with friends. Also, I am a very social person and have never had problems making new friends, I am only experiencing this issue here.
The staff and education is actually pretty awesome. Really small class sizes, tons of options, dedicated staff and they challenge you in a good way to make you excel at whatever you are learning. However, EVERYTHING relates to God here. Which I should have expected knowing it is a christian school, with that said I had to write a 1000 word paper on a bible chapter for Management class, we integrate faith in our math classes and in our biology classes... It is super wasteful and overwhelming. The required classes here are absurd, so many bible classes that will not transfer to different schools.
If you are a really strong christian and only want the same narrow minded youth group feeling you have had your whole life (no sarcasm or being mean) you will love it here and fit in. Also if you are a football player, or a baseball player you will be popular and have lots of friends. Extremely wealthy people also will fit in perfectly here. Everyone else honestly will be quite miserable.
I can not wait to transfer out of this school. It is so judgmental and hurtful to my self-esteem.
I will share a few quotes now.
"Because you are a democrat you will go to hell."
"drinking alcohol is of the devil"
"Gay people should just not exist"
What did you do this weekend? "I volunteered at this shelter and went to a bible study, did homework and made cookies with my roommates."Those are real typical statements I hear on the regular here. Bethel has good things to offer, like a beautiful campus, nice staff, and insanely great security. But the negatives like cliques, judgement, the fact that everyone leaves on the weekends, no student activities, nothing to do here on weekends, no city life, you can't party on campus and the fact that it feels exactly like high school ruins it for me. I would rank the campus atmosphere as a whole as a C-.

"I received excellent service from the warehouse personnel, Aleron. I was waiting for parts to complete the installation of a microwave. The parts came in earlier than promised and Aleron saw me at the store. He recognized me from our meeting several weeks previously. He flagged me down at the store and let me know the parts arrived earlier than anticipated."

Didn't take very long since Mapsource seems pretty easy to use and their source map loads pretty quick with my internet connection.
Gotcha. I've used that method. I think it's a good way to get the general route, but in my experience, there have been small differences between the route posted online, and the route encountered in the field. The online map is a very good approximation, but I'd prefer to have the route verified by riding it.
As an example, I rode the route you posted, and at one point the route said to turn right, but the sign at the intersection said to turn left. In this case, I have reason to believe that maybe the sign is backwards and I can fix that, but I didn't have time to confirm that. It's not far from here so I'll go back and check it out sometime soon.

After his Grand Tour, Robert Adam set up in London as an architect in 1758 with his younger brothers. For the next thirty years his neoclassical designs, en-suite planning and attention to every detail of interior decoration were to revolutionise English domestic architecture. Famous buildings by him in or near London include 20 Portman Square (now Home House), the Adelphi, Kenwood, Osterley and Syon. He is shown in this portrait by Willison supporting a large volume, presumably of architectural drawings, on his knee.

Behaviour Disorders
Behaviour Disorders are conditions that are more than just disruptive behaviour. They are related to mental health problems that lead to disruptive behaviour, emotional and social problems. Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD] is an example of a behaviour disorder. Children with behaviour disorders typically need a variety of professional interventions including medication, psychological treatment, rehabilitation, or possibly other treatments. 1
As indicated on the Special Education home page, inclusion is a preferred educational option wherever this is possible and every effort is normally made to achieve this. Where this is not possible, special classes or special schools involving curriculum and staffing modification are used.

Jensen Wheeler Wolfe founded The Little Yoga Mat while she was working as a researcher for Glamour magazine. Now, her pint-size mats are found in stores like ABC Carpet and Home in Manhattan, as well as specialty toy and children's stores. Teresa Novellino
Wheeler Wolfe says that American-branded products like hers have real cachet among Chinese consumers. She came into her business from a side route. She had a day job as a researcher for Glamour magazine and taught yoga in her free time to both adults and children, including kids at a preschool that her daughter, then 2, attended. That was her eureka moment.
"I was noticing how not having mats, the children were all over the place, and I thought, These kids need mats," Wheeler Wolfe says. So she went home, cut five of her spare yoga mats into quarters to create 20 smaller mats and tied them up with ribbons. At the next class, the ribbons flew around the room as mats unfurled, but the normally rambunctious children stayed put in poses, thrilling their teacher, who told Wheeler Wolfe that it organized her class.
"They know where their spot is," Wheeler Wolfe says. "You can say this is where you go, go back to your mat. It makes them feel very safe, and they have boundaries."
Further proof that she was on to something came from her husband, who took their daughter to preschool and had passersby stop and ask where he got the yoga mat that the little girl carried on her lap.
"So as a researcher, I went back to my desk and started researching what was out there, and I wonered, Does anybody make these?" Wheeler Wolfe says. There were half-size mats for children over 5, but none for the younger set, who, thanks to Mommy and Me yoga classes for babies and toddlers, could use them.
Job one was finding a manufacturer who could create mats with an eco-friendly, foam-like material called thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that Wheeler Wolfe felt was better than the rubber used in most adult mats because it is lightweight, hypoallergenic, breathes, and doesn't capture a lot of dirt. The manufacturer she located on Alibaba's B2B site is in Taiwan (there were no U.S. makers that she could find). So far, it's produced 4,000 multicolor mats, which sell for $25 apiece. One features a sun and the other a lotus flower.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

Faith Leaders Demonstrate the Power of Connections in Moving a Member of Congress
August 2014
It began with a dozen clergy from Chicago's South Side and northern suburbs, who signed and circulated a letter to their senator asking him to support emergency unemployment compensation (EUC). This federal program provides unemployment aid after state benefits have been exhausted. This assistance helps families pay bills and put food on the table while they seek work in a difficult job market.
Sen. Mark Kirk (R) had twice voted against reinstating EUC, even though the unemployment rate in Illinois is 8.9 percent—the third highest in the nation. EUC expired last December, and Congress has so far been unable to reinstate it, causing more than 2 million people to lose this vital assistance, including more than 110,000 from Illinois.
A number of factors came together to make this a good opportunity to take action. Pastors were concerned about people struggling financially in their congregations and communities and were primed to respond. Bread for the World regional organizer Zach Schmidt and the original signers of the letter helped it to get wider exposure in congregations across the Chicago area. They sent the letter out over Bread's blog—a good tool to harness when an action involving Congress needs to happen quickly—and watched the list of signers increase.
In a month's time, the number of signers had multiplied tenfold, to more than 100. Many of the letter signers were unfamiliar with Bread, so this was also a good chance to introduce them to advocacy and a way to make their voices heard. A group of clergy—led by Rabbi Ike Serotta of Lakeside Congregation in Highland Park (Sen. Kirk's hometown) and Rev. Brian Roots of Christ United Methodist Church in Deerfield—took the action a step further and also asked for a meeting with the senator, so that they could tell Sen. Kirk in person why his vote was important to them. After this advocacy by faith leaders, Sen. Kirk changed his vote and added his name to a bipartisan bill to restore EUC.
"This shows there's a diverse group of faith leaders who care about the decisions Congress makes and the impact those decisions have, especially on vulnerable people," Schmidt says. "I think our letter, with the backing of so many faith leaders, many of them from congregations Sen. Kirk knows, along with our request for a meeting, was hard to ignore and helped to change his vote."
It also shows the power of relationships in building a stronger network to work against hunger. Many pastors signed on to the letter because they knew the person who asked them to sign, even if they did not yet know Bread for the World. This also gave Bread the chance to reach out to other faith leaders beyond Christians. Even a small, committed group of people like the original dozen letter signers can have a powerful impact on moving legislation in Washington that helps people who are struggling.
Although the EUC extension is now stalled in Congress, Bread will continue to push for efforts to restore it. There are still three job seekers for every job available in the United States. Until the economic recovery truly reaches all our neighbors, we will continue calling on Sen. Kirk and other legislators to support EUC—for the good of all communities.

This is the second (and final) article in a series analyzing the political attitudes of GamerGate, based on online polling conducted between the 18th and the 22nd of December.
Last week Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos penned an article on the Open Internet Order of 2010 (net neutrality) entitled, "Here's What 'Net Neutrality' Is... and What to Think About It."
On September 16, 2012 GamePolitics published a story about Brad Wardell and Stardock Systems entitled "Report: Stardock Sued Former Marketing Manager After She Sued CEO for Sexual Harassment." In that report we echoed a false narrative that Stardock's lawsuit against former marketing manager Alexandra Miseta was filed in retaliation for her filing a sexual harassment lawsuit against Stardock CEO Brad Warde
Both Polygon and GitantBomb are drawing attention to the fact that Ubisoft's embargo on Assassin's Creed Unity was set so far into its launch day (today at noon ET) that it seems like it was put in place to obfuscate the fact that the latest game in Ubisoft's third-person stealth action game series has a number of serious flaws and issues.

Laurie White (president of the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce) and Michael Sabitoni (president of the Rhode Island Construction and Building Trades Council) teamed up to pen an op-ed in the Providence Journal to warn lawmakers and the public that what happened with 38 Studios should not cast aspersions of future state investments into other industries.
Earlier in the week Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA.) penned an editorial over at Politico that takes aim at parenting and deflects the idea that video games are to blame for violent crimes in America. The editorial title sums up Hunter's thoughts on the top pretty succinctly: "Target parenting, not games for violence."
Video game developer and Chair of the International Game Developers Association's Anti-Censorship and Social Issues Committee Daniel Greenberg offers a scathing rebuke to Republicans in Congress for criticizing World of Warcraft and tax payer dollars given to use the virtual world for research over at Salon today.
A scathing editorial on Huffington Post from Craig Aaron, CEO and President of online rights advocacy group Free Press, calls AT&T out for its handling of the FaceTime app and for violating Net Neutrality rules. The editorial is in response to AT&T's restrictions on using Apple's FaceTime app for iOS devices, which Aaron calls a "clear violation of Net Neutrality."
In Episode 5 of the Annoyed Gamer over at GameTrailersTV, Marcus Beer talks about fanboyism and the need for games journalists to grow up a little. It's an interesting episode that makes a lot of good points about how being a fanboy or fangirl is natural and prevalent in other areas of life like politics, favorite sports teams, and favorite brands.

Thanks to Andrew Eisen for the tip.
After several editorials called Electronic Arts out for including links to real world weapons to promote the new Medal of Honor game, the company has decided to discontinue the practice. The real down-side to this news is that the money generated from those real-world weapon sales was going directly to the charity Project Honor.
An editorial in the Baltimore Sun written by former White House and Pentagon official Douglas MacKinnon laments the "lessons lost" that could have come out of the Aurora, Colorado shooting about what the author calls "a culture that desensitizes us to violence." While his general sentiment that there are lessons to be learned about the shooting, what those lessons are or might be are up for debate.
States across the Union are passing or debating laws that will make online gambling legal, either for their entire state, or – as is the case being discussed in New Jersey, presently – just in certain cities/areas. These legislative changes may represent a shifting in the ideals of voters, but the impetus is most certainly tax revenue and perceived job creation.
Last week we presented the news that a "First Sale Doctrine" case (Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons) was headed to the Supreme Court. Some journalists were sounding alarm bells that an outcome in favor of the publisher in the case could have a serious impact on how people sell used products such as books, DVD's and even video games.
Eurogamer has two great editorials on Diablo III - one called "Always Online: What Diablo 3's Battle.net Does Right " and another called "Always Online: What Diablo 3's Battle.net Does Wrong." Both make valid points about the game and its requirement that players always be connected to Battle.net - even when playing the single-player campaign
Last week FortressCraft creator Adam Sawkins had some colorful words for Minecraft creator Notch and his community after a denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on his game's website took it offline. It also happened to be the day that Minecraft launched on Xbox Live Arcade. Hmmm. He called the police too.
In a new editorial on Games Industry International, Matt Plotecher, a game designer at casual and social studio Arkadium, argues that BioWare's "Mass Effect 3 game ending controversy could be a "watershed moment" for the growth of the medium. His overall point is that games have moved past the argument of whether or not they are a valid form of expression.
Recently a contingent of highly motivated constituents went to Washington D.C., led by the Entertainment Consumer Association's Hal Halpin and Jenn Mercurio, to talk to lawmakers about policies that affect consumers such as PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, and more. Josh Hughes, Lead Game Designer at Kaizen Games, was one of those people, and below he shares his experiences. This article originally appeared on the Kaizen Games Blog and is reprinted below with their kind permission.
If you are a fan of propaganda and that classic art form of stretching the truth, then you might want to check out this New York Times editorial penned by RIAA CEO Cary Sherman. In it he claims that technology companies like Google and Wikipedia were the only driving force behind the letter writing campaigns to lawmakers and website blackouts that happened in protest of SOPA last month.

I started to play Triple Town as of last weekend; I had a blast and even more so when I see that they were actively supporting it with frequent updates. Then I started to hear some rumblings in the industry about how another game basically ripped it off.
Since then, we have seen Spry Fox issue proceedings against Lolapps. Most of us have read about it and shook our heads; I want to take the rhetoric out of it. I wanted to just look at the basic facts.
Walshy Addresses SOPA/PIPA
By Dave Walsh, ECA Pro Gaming Chapter Pres.
There are still many people out there that don't know about, or are misinformed regarding two very concerning pieces of legislation, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and Protect IP Act (PIPA). The names of these bills sound noble enough, but the effects that they will have if passed will be devastating.
Left-leaning political blog DailyKOS joins the editorial pages of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times in opposition of the House's Stop Online Piracy Act and the Senate's Protect IP Act. In a post titled "Congress is close to destroying the internet (no hyperbole)," DailyKOS says that it is not hyperbole when they say that lawmakers, big Pharmaceutical companies, and the recording, and movie industries are out to destroy the internet.
I'm all for letters to the editor, but one written by one Tina L. Bechtel, is particularly over the top and needs to be read to be believed. The Marysville, California mother of at least one son (at least the one she mentions in her letter) delivers what she calls her "long-overdue reaction to the 'supreme sellout' of our children," referring to the Supreme Court's decision earlier this year in the Brown v. EMA case.
The New Jersey Star-Ledger newspaper has a rather strongly-worded editorial about what they see as EA's over-manipulation of the United States Tax code. The op-ed piece, a response to the New York Times piece on Sunday that basically outed EA for its practices, calls on the U.S. government to end "unfair tax breaks" for big corporations and to offer those incentives to smaller, more-deserving start-ups.
If you think that the cease and desist letter Bethesda sent Minecraft developer Mojang over plans to use the word "Scrolls" in its next game is ridiculous, then Andrew Eisen's latest video will make a lot of sense. After all, if one company can go after another for "Scrolls" then they can go after anyone for any other seemingly innocuous or common word. Take the word "the," for example...

Dear Readers:
The heat of summer has really crept up on us this year. It was such a cold winter I almost forgot that summers bring a heat like no other. We step outside into what feels like an oven and we do not get any relief until it rains or the sun goes down.
What does this mean to pet owners? It means we need to be especially vigilant concerning the environment our pet is in. At all times pets should have access to fresh clean water and plenty of shade. Whenever possible let your pet be inside the house with you during the hottest part of the day.
The best time to walk your dog is early in the morning or late in the evening. Pavement gets very hot in the sun. Sand and dirt do, too. Before you take a walk, put your hand on the ground or pavement and make sure the ground is cool enough for little paws. One would feel terrible if one's pet received burns from the heat radiating up from the ground.
Speaking of hot sand, I strongly recommend avoiding the beach with your pet. The radiant heat from the sun on the white sand and the difficulty in finding adequate shade are not conducive to keeping a pet cool. When you go to the beach, you go to relax and enjoy yourself, and you probably won't be spending a lot of time keeping your pet cool. It would just be better if you leave your pet home on this outing.
Under no circumstances should a dog or cat be left in a vehicle unattended. Temperatures rise dramatically in a car even when the window is left down. While you may be able to sit for a while in a car with open windows, you will still become uncomfortable due to the rising temperatures.
A dog or cat does not have the ability to sweat and so relies greatly on moving air to aid their cooling mechanism. If you see a pet in an unoccupied car, go into the store and find the owner. If you can't, call the police and get help.
If your pet has long hair, consider having it shaved down to about one inch in length. This will help keep him cooler without making him at risk for sunburn. Shorter hair helps pets stay cooler, but remember, dogs and cats transpose heat and cool their body through the respiratory system. This requires rapid breathing (panting) with their tongue hanging out. They may lose a little heat through their paw pads and their ears, but the majority of heat loss is through their breathing apparatus.
Because their mouth and lungs are their main air conditioner, dogs with any kind or respiratory challenges are especially prone to overheating. This includes dogs with heart problems, overweight dogs, older dogs that may have respiratory issues, and dogs with short snouts and small tracheas like English Bulldogs and Pugs.
Let's all enjoy the holidays and keep these things in mind. Hopefully we can keep from seeing any pets for heat stroke or any other heat related ailments this summer.
