IRSHAD MANJI The New York Times describes Irshad Manji as "Osama bin Laden's worst nightmare." Oprah's magazine has given Irshad the first annual Chutzpah Award for "audacity, nerve, boldness and conviction." She takes both as compliments. Irshad is Director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University. It aims to develop leaders who will challenge political correctness, intellectual conformity and self-censorship. In the best spirit of liberal education, the Moral Courage Project teaches that rights come with responsibilities, that we are citizens rather than members of mere tribes, and that meaningful diversity embraces different ideas and not just identities. Through her commitment to Muslim reform, Irshad is putting these principles into practice. She is the internationally best-selling author of The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith. Her book has been published in more than 30 countries, including Pakistan, India, Lebanon and Indonesia - the world's largest Muslim nation. In those countries that have censored The Trouble with Islam Today, Irshad is reaching readers by posting free translations on this website. Collectively, the Arabic, Urdu and Farsi editions have been downloaded more than one million times. The Indonesian edition has become the most popular download on this website since its launch last year. Irshad's most recent book is titled Allah, Liberty & Love: The Courage to Reconcile Faith and Freedom which is a guide to finding the God of love and liberty within Islam. This is ultimately a book about how to become a gutsy global citizen working for both personal and world peace. Irshad has faith not just in Allah, but also in her fellow human beings. Prepare to be informed as well as inspired. As a scholar beyond NYU, Irshad is Senior Fellow with the European Foundation for Democracy. She has served as a Visiting Fellow at Yale University and Journalist-in-Residence at the University of Toronto, where she wrote The Trouble with Islam Today. Irshad is creator of the Emmy-nominated PBS documentary, Faith Without Fear, which chronicles her journey to reconcile Islam with human rights and freedom. Faith Without Fear is now being screened across Europe and South Asia. It's also circulating in the Muslim underground via digital technologies. To view clips of Faith Without Fear, visit her official YouTube channel, IrshadManjiTV. As a journalist, Irshad's columns appear frequently in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Times of London, Al-Arabiya.net and other major news sources. She writes a regular feature for Canada's Globe and Mail. A comprehensive collection of Irshad's columns, as well as articles about her, can be found in the media archives of this website. You can also watch debates and interviews on IrshadManjiTV. As a social entrepreneur, Irshad has founded Project Ijtihad, a global campaign to popularize Islam's own tradition of critical thinking. Project Ijtihad is helping to build the world's most inclusive network of reform- minded Muslims and non-Muslim allies. To recognize the success of this campaign, the World Economic Forum has selected Irshad as a Young Global Leader. In her continued quest to promote critical thinking, Irshad has created spaces for open dialogue on the World Wide Web. Her Facebook and MySpace pages are home to vigorous debates about Muslim reform and moral courage. For her pioneering work, Irshad receives death threats and distinctions. The World Economic Forum has selected her as a Young Global Leader. Maclean's, Canada's national news magazine, has named her one of "10 Canadians Who Make a Difference". And The Jakarta Post in Indonesia -- the world's largest Muslim country -- identifies Irshad as one of three Muslim women creating positive change in Islam today.

"Our shower planning team fell in love with this trendy chic chalkboard design even though it wasn't what we were originally looking for, and it has ended up giving us some really fun inspiration for other details of the shower too. Tonight I dropped off a few extra invitations for the mommy-to-be to have, and her exact words were "OMG these are the cutest!! I LOVE them!!" That reaction from our special first time mommy was worth every penny spent! And as always, the order arrived right on time, and the paper quality & design detail were superb."
"I loved everything about the card. The over all qaulity was FANTASTIC everything was perfect. I can not wait to send them out."
"Love these cards! so cute and perfect. I had a last minute change and Tinyprints edited it for me before producing the invites. I also think I should have ordered more than I did. We have a huge family and I want everyone to have a card!"
"I started my order on-line, but had a question, so I called the customer service number. The representative was very helpful and even saw something that I hadn't, so we were able to fix it right away. I'm very impressed with the quality of the card stock and I liked quite a few of the choices offered for what I needed. I will definitely use this company again for any printing needs I have."

From: Memphis, TN
Region: Southeast
Topic: Invasive Plants, Non-Natives, Compost and Mulch, Grasses or Grass-like
Title: Non-native, invasive bermudagrass from Memphis TN
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in central Memphis and have well-drained clay soil. I have converted much of the front yard from turf grass to beds of native plants, which survive our hot humid without supplemental watering except when it gets really droughty. The leftover turfgrass forms broad paths between the beds. This is a "full sun" area. The problem is that the turf grass is that dratted bermuda. It is very hard to keep out of the beds. I have thought about replacing it with native grasses like Thunderturf, but these seem to spread by stolons as well. So won't I have the same problem no matter what? It looks like drought-tolerant turf grasses all use the same mechanic to be drought tolerant: stolons that sneak into flower beds.
Bermudagrass is well known as one of the worst weeds in the South. You have already gone a long way to xeriscaping, are you interested in going the extra mile?
Since we have already agreed that bermudagrass is an ugly weed, may we suggest you continue to get rid of it? Easier said than done. From About.com: Landscaping here is an article on Solarization. As you read the article, just remember to substitute "bermudagrass" for "weeds." This is a fairly complex solution, needs to be done in the summer when it's hot enough to fry the bermuda grass and the roots, and isn't attractive while it's underway.
If you would prefer to take smaller steps, consider removing the bermudagrass an area at a time. This article from the University of California Integrated Pest Management gives the best ideas for bermudagrass extermination we have seen. As you clear a space, quickly step in and put down mulch. This might still be susceptible to surviving stolons of the grass, but they will be few and determined digging and removal (don't just throw it on the ground, it can even be revitalized that way) should keep it under control. If you wish to add more ornamental beds, let the mulch decompose a bit and keep the stubborn grass down until you are ready to plant. The mulch not only helps to control weeds, but it protects roots of desirable trees and shrubs from heat and cold. The decomposition of the mulch assists in amending the soil, and can be walked on like a path.
As long as we are talking paths, you mentioned the turf grass as making broad paths through your garden. Consider, once you have eliminated the bermudagrass in an area, putting down a path of decomposed granite or more mulch. From The Human Footprint, here is an article on using decomposed granite. Most of the pathways in the Lady Bird Wildflower Center are treated this way, and it is far more natural-looking and low maintenance than grasses, etc.
Since you have full sun and a temperate climate, think about planting some succulents or a mix of succulents in your new spaces, and surrounding them with decomposed granite, or even gravel, which will permit weeds to sprout, so watch it! This would give you even more of a xeriscape look, require very low watering, an important consideration as the whole country seems to be dealing with drought. Actually, according to our Native Plant Database there are only 3 succulents native to Tennessee: Yucca filamentosa (Adam's needle), Opuntia humifusa (Devil's-tongue), and Manfreda virginica (False aloe).
So, for your xeriscaped beds, how about some taller ornamental grasses native to Tennessee? Consider Bothriochloa laguroides ssp. torreyana (Silver beard grass). Bouteloua curtipendula (Sideoats grama) or Schizachyrium scoparium (Little bluestem).
That's probably enough to keep you busy for a while. And, to anybody else reading this, think real hard before planting Cynodon dactylon (bermudagrass).

My cosmetic purchases must be cruelty-free and be a Paula's Pick/have a BEST rating on Beautypedia. I want my mascara to be super black, super lengthening, super volumizing, clump/flake/smudge free, and resemble extensions. It Cosmetics 5-In-1 mascara delivered these results, but the description of Paula's latest mascara sounded like it would perform similarly for half the price. Perform it did! My lashes are thick, dark, and nearly reach my eyebrows! Limited edition?!? PAULA, THIS HAS TO STAY!!

Maybe only for a natural look
By Aileen E.
from Undisclosed
Comments about MegaLength Mascara - Black:
I really wanted to like this mascara. What I want from a mascara is not a super natural look. I feel like I can get close to the look I want, but need to do 3 or 4 coats, which is not something I want or am used to. Also the brush is very hard, and do put on 3 or 4 coats doesn't feel good on my eyelids at all. On the plus side, it really did define every last little lash, but the 2nd coat pretty much demolishes that. I've used it twice and I don't think I'll use it again.

me no likey
By nY
The pros: doesn't clump, doesn't flake, doesn't smudge, soft and naturally defined-looking lashes. The cons: takes at least 10 coats to get the minimum effect that one actually has lashes, where others can do in one coat, and the brush pricks the lashline everytime, -it feels as irritating as a dish brush. Applying with this requires time and meditation and a few cotton swabs for the mess after pricking. I don't hate it but it's not something I'd re-order.
By Anonymous
This did not clump or get gooey and it did separate my lashes. The bad is that it did not length it at all. Put on 3 coats and could barely tell it was on. Very natural. A little too natural maybe? I am returning it. I just got the new Paula's choice Fantastic Lash and that one has a normal brush head and definately lengthens. That one is a keeper for me. Both washes off with her face cleansers easily.
No longer a MAC mascara user
By Mary S.
I never thought there would be a mascara that would make me drop my MAC mascara until I tried MegaLength. Lashes are not clumpy, nicely separated and appear lengthened. No smudging or flakes. I always use two coats and love the look which is not over done. Sorry MAC!
Nice mascara
By JUDY M.
Finding as I age my lashes are getting skimpy. Bought a mascara from the store that gave volume, with not much application but was very hard to get off, meaning a lot of pulling and tugging around the eyes . This PC mascara requires several applications to get a good coverage, but feels so much better on and removes easily. I am very happy with this mascara and after receiving the first one went back and ordered 2 more while they were on sale. PC has the products that work!
Natural Look Mascara
By HEATHER T.
This my first time using this product. My eye seem to get irritated easily, but haven't had any problems with this product. I wouldn't say this isn't a really glam up my lashes mascara, maybe I would have to apply more coats. It is a more natural look, which I do like. The only thing I don't care about is the brush. It just seems awkward to what I'm use to and I don't think it's application goes on that well.
Adds length but no thickness.
By Susan H.
This product does add some length but if you're looking for any additional thickness you won't find it here. It applied evenly with minimal clumping. The brush is an odd shape and easy to use but I'm not sure if it adds anything. I had no problems with smudging during the day and it was easy to remove with my regular cleanser. It's a nice mascara that I'll reserve for casual day use.
Great surprise!

It smudges only slightly It makes my thin lashes look longer, thicker, and still natural. It does not feel itchy, dry or irritating. It's as if I do not have it on. It is also very reasonably priced. Cannot say enough. My 18-year old daughter is also a fan.
By Marina
This mascara is the best I've used! I like both mascaras available with PC, but I find this one stays on better. I get eye strain at my job and inevitably rub my eyes. This mascara does not flake off like others.
By leslie
I have tried sooooo many mascara's! This is without a doubt the BEST mascara I have ever used! No clumping, just beautiful coverage with two coats! Way to go, Paula!!!!
I have been looking for mascara since Illegal Lengths byMaybelline was no longer available.I am ecstatic with the results of Paula's mascara! My long, blonde lashes all got covered, and looknice and long! They are visible again!Thanks so much. PS I'm 65, and still have gorgeous lashes thanks to you guys!
One of the best for natural looking lashes
My favorite mascara was CG Lash Blast because it was the only one at any price point that did not leave globs on my lashes. I like lashes that look natural, long and separated. PC has managed to make not one but two such mascaras. With all other brands (except Lash Blast) I have to wipe the wand with a tissue first. You don't need to do this with Paula's. I just dab the tip on a tissue to get rid of excess. Both of her mascaras create lovely natural lashes. Illicit is a bit more dramatic. Love.
The Best Ever!!
By Mel T.
This is by far the best mascara I have ever used. Yes, it does need an extra application to thicken, but it creates long, beautiful lashes and does NOT melt off, even after a full day and evening's wear. Love the wand. Love everything about this mascara! Good-bye M.A.C.'s Haught and Naughty, MegaLenghts just blew you away!! And unlike M.A.C., Paula's products aren't tested on animals.
Not up to PC Par
By Mindy A.
I've been beyond happy with all other of my PC products, so I'm bummed this mascara as not working for me. It's coming out of the tube with unevenly, with some areas of the brush having clumping amounts of mascara. I've never "pumped" my brushes in the tube, so I know that is not a factor. The result is clumping in some areas of my lashes and nothing on others. Disappointed in this product and purchase.

Not working for me...
By Joni
Wanted to love this. I do love the Illicit Lash Mascara by PC. I decided to order a bottle of this to try when I ran out of that one. I had it a few months before opening. But I am wishing I had ordered the other one! Should have gone with my favorite. I don't like the brush on this one, it is sectioned into 3 parts. Very messy to use. Formula seems thick to me and doesn't lengthen my lashes. Maybe it works for others, but for me, it's a miss.
Stands the test of time
By Katelyn
I must say, this mascara lasts! I used to always buy Clinique mascara, and it never failed to dry out on me in a month or less - and trust me, I made sure not to 'pump' the brush in order to prevent excess air from getting in as per instructions from the ladies at the Clinique counter. Paula's Choice mascara is HALF the price of Clinique's brands, and it is still going strong after FIVE months!! I am more than satisfied with this product. I will keep buying this mascara as long as you make it!
best I've tried
By Sharon K.
I really like this mascara! I want a mascara that doesn't make lashes look bizarrely unnatural, but simply well enhanced--and this does that VERY well. Best mascara I've ever found for not clumping, not leaving little balls on the lashes, not making lashes look spiky, etc. Easy to apply, finds all the small/fine lashes well--a bit more volume & length and GREAT color very quickly! Brush is different, but I assume it's part of what makes this mascara work so well. Please keep it, Paula!
excellent mascara
By amy
Im a mascara addict. Even when I find ones I love and continue to buy, I still cant help trying them all. This is perfect for everyday. Its not dramatic if that is what you want. It lengthens beautifully w no clumps or smudges. It doesnt give a ton of thickness but what it gives is the look of naturally long gorgeous lashes that will make people wonder if you were just naturally blessed with awesome lashes and that is the look we should all be looking for! Please do not discontine this one!
Not impressed
By Katherine
It doesn't flake or smudge, so I'll give it that, but I won't be buying this mascara again. For one, I prefer more volume than this gives. Anytime I try to build more volume, I get into crunchy, spidery lashes territory. Second, I don't like the spiral brush. I still haven't mastered the brush; it just seems to make applying the mascara more difficult. This mascara is fine if you like the natural look, but for the price, I can find plenty of other mascaras to meet my needs.
An OK product...
By Julissa G.
An all around disappointing product. I was hoping that I was no longer going to have to shop around for any mascaras, that PC was going to be IT for me but sadly that was not the case with this product. First and foremost, this mascara does not give me any length. It does not hold a curl, even after curling my lashes several times. Pros: it does give you thickness, something my lashes really lack. Does not smudge and it gives you very little clumps. Still love PC though! :)
By EDWINA A.
This is the best mascara that I have ever used. My quest in relation to mascara has always been lash coverage without clumping or "spider"lashes. This fits the bill on both counts, plus it washes off easily. PLEASE make this a permanent item.
Adds nice length and no clumps but smudges on me.
By Sandy M.
My skin is very oily, so I have a hard time finding a mascara that doesn't smudge. I like a dramatic eyelash look for everyday. This adds length and defines, but doesn't do much in the volume area. It does a good job of staying put and smudges slightly in the afternoon for me. Lashes stay soft and there are no clumps. It's easy to remove and doesn't irritate my eyes. Overall, I think it's okay, but I probably won't repurchase because there are cheaper drugstore brands that work better for me.
The Best
By Michelle L
I love this mascara. I tried dozens of brands and this is everything I want. Goes on smooth even though the wand seems fat, I don't make mistakes. It stays on all day without smudging and I even cried like a baby with it on! It didn't run down my cheeks or crumble off. I couldn't ask for more!!
Love Product, brush, meh
By MissTroy
Mascara has always been a issue for me. No matter what I use, I end up with Raccoon eyes at some point in the day. Not this! I work in a busy, hot kitchen in a humid climate and this mascara stays in place ALL DAY! I hope it doesn't stay a limited product. My only complaint is the brush. It's annoying. I wish it was just a thin, regular brush. Just my two cents.

DIRECTIONS: In order to maximize every last lash, stroke successive coats of mascara on the upper and, if desired, lower lashes. For a more dramatic lash look, place the wand as close to the base (roots) of the upper lashes as possible. Hold the wand there, and carefully wiggle it back and forth to deposit extra mascara prior to brushing the wand through your lashes. For maximum impact, proceed with at least two full coats. Don't let the mascara dry between coats!
If you opt to use an eyelash curler, use it BEFORE applying mascara. Squeeze the curler gently with even pressure, hold for a few seconds and then release slowly as you move from the base of the lashes to the tip.

Club 737
Can I give them something like -10 ? xD This place sucks ! The guard kicked out my friends for nothing. After, he wanted to beat everyone. We had a guestlist and they made us waited until it doesn't work. He had to pay the cover and we were out less than hours after. Don't even go for the view, seriously. The staff is not really nice either. If...more
Maurice Nightclub
Chez Maurice is the more upscale of places to go in Quebec City. The downstairs plays the usual dance music found in Quebec while the upper bar's music varies with. Fridays tend to be the most fun as the bar is packed and it's Latin night upstairs. Dress to impress or come during one of their many theme nights.more
Tokyo Bar is located on trendy St-Laurent blvd, although Tokyo is not a pretentious place at all. Just a a fun place to go with friends for a night of dancing.

Pub Saint-Patrick
I thought that I would venture into Pub Saint-Patrick because looked pretty busy which is suppose to mean that it is good. The pub is larger than you can tell from this picture. There is one section that is more a sit down restaurant and another which is more a pub for a drink. I decided for the latter. There was music playing that night in the pub...more

Walking around Vieux Quebec at night
Outside the walls there's a lot to see along Rue Richelieu or its inwalls partner Rue St.Jean. That's for having dinner and a shopping walk. But on the other side of the hill, the illuminated buildings make that part of the city a nice view by night (even better with somebody to share). Warm enough :)more
Peel Pub
This is a must go if you are going to Montreal. It is always energetic and live all throughout the day, especially at night! Cheap pitchers and food. I got poutine, hot dogs and a beer for $10. Kareoke nights and themed nights. The service there is great, very kind and fun. The cheapest and well spent entertainment you will have. n/amore
Pub Saint-Alexandre
The Alexandre pub does indeed have an great beer menu. The food is far from "Brit" fair, in fact you would be challenged to find any items on a British Pub Menu. The menu does not contain items like cornish pasties, ploughmans, or shepards pie. Most "British Pubs" allow minors in, who must leave before 9pm. We tried to stop for lunch with one...more
Chez Paré
Haven't been there in a while but this place is a landmark of Montreal redlight nightlife. The most beautiful women are there and it's a neat place, not seedy like most gentlemen clubs in other part of town. Note: More you give tips to the doorman at the entrance, better your seat will be. No shorts or sneakersmore
Le Capitole de Quebec
A very old renovated theater in the heart of downtown Quebec Our show consisted of an 8 piece orchestra. 8 dancers(3 male). 4 singers (1 male) and a male comedian. They put on a 3 hour show with a 15 minute intermission. Optionalmore
Les Deux Pierrots
There are actually two bar/nightclubs by this name on the same block! One is a very modern, laid-back lounge with live jazz, and the other....well! The night I was there, the band played a very lively mix of French folk-rock (almost like American country music), classic rock and some hard rock/modern alternative. And no matter what was being...more
Le Sacrilege
Le Sacrilege is located on St-Jean Street, close to the Vieux Quebec, but on the West side of the walls. Its great location makes it one of the locals' favorite spots to hang out as it is close enough to the downtown area, yet just outside of the very touristy areas. The Sacrilege is the kind of place where you go to chat with your friends while...more
Le Loft
My friends and I walked into the loft and instantly loved it. The rock room is a lot of fun, the bartenders are very nice and the techno room adds a little twist - definitely not your typical nightclub. But things turned sour when my friend Rick was involved in a mosh pit in the rock room. The bouncers basically dragged him out and threw him on the...more
Brewing beer in Quebec City is a tradition that goes back to the days of La Nouvelle-France, at the beginning of the 17th century. 400 years later, L'Inox is proud to keep the tradition alive with its delicious regular and seasonal beers! The "Trouble-Fete" is probably the most popular of them all: served with a slice of lime, this flavorful wheat...more
Hurley's is one of the most popular of Montreal's many Irish pubs and probably the best of the lot. I was really taken with place. This probably because of the seemingly ancient building that houses it and because also has plenty of patio space. During my visit there were more people on the patio than inside. Personally I found the interior very...more
La Barberie
This is a brewpub off the beaten track, but real close to the train station. Took me a while to find it, but was well worth it. It's open noon until midnight I think. It's got a huge back porch where you can relax in the sun. All hand-crafted beers are $4.50 for a pint, they have about 8 kinds. I had the Biological Blonde, and Red Ale. They also...more
Sona is now closed. It's pretty amazing how this afterhours could stay opened for so long... I was there at the opening night long long time back and it was "the" place to be back then. The crowd varied but the DJ's kept the place alive and well throughout the years. The promoters of the place are moving into a gigantic location which is...more
Le Drague
Quebec City doesn't have much of a gay village but if there was one, Le Drague would definitely be at the center of it all! It has been around for quite a while and although it prides itself in being the city's most popular gay bar, it is open to everyone, gay or straight. Located in a beautiful historic building, Le Drague offers different...more
Luba Lounge
Although slightly removed from the rest of the nightlife action on the St. Laurent strip, Luba is a great place to seriously chiiiillll and hear some good hip hop. The couches are nice and comfy and the predominantly red interior keeps feeling more soothing drink after drink. In the summer, you can also hang out on the back terrace.more
AML Dinner Cruises
If you want to do something different, take a dinner cruise out on the St. Lawrence River. AML Cruises provides a superb, well run boat. The cost of the dinner is on top of the basic cruise fee but is well prepared, favouring seafood items. After dinner there's a small dance floor. And throughout the cruise the best view is out the window.more
Les Bobards
On Sundays there is a Brasilian band that plays live music. Also on some Saturdays they play North African music from Arabian (Sharky) beats to Rai music , Amazigh and Andalusian... Great to listen to the North African beats if you have not before then this place is a must see Anything goes. Ties and suits look odd thoughmore
Le Pape George
Coincidences always find me in other cities. We searched the night for a wine bar to continue the drinking binge through guidebook suggestions. We settled in on both sides of a small square dark-wooded table hunching across to keep the noise level to a minimum. Plastered against the wall was a man strummig a guitar playing bad renditions of songs...more
I think later on in the evening this is a happening spot but it was about 7pm or so and we thought we would just have a drink and an appetizer. Located on the popular Rue Crescent, it's the place to be and be watched. The music is rather loud so hopefully you enjoy that. Casualmore
Jardin Nelson
Great terrace in the back (don't be fooled by the front terrace) with incredible design. Live music, mostly jazz. Delicious shrimps salad and pizza, but everything on the menu looks great. Ingenious parasol and heating system will assure you a great evening in any conditions. It's my favorite!more

German Cockroaches wreak havoc!
German cockroaches are a very serious threat to anyone that has respiratory problems. Their feces or dead bodies put our some nasty allergens that can cause allergic reactions and asthma. This is especially detrimental to young children or elderly. These roaches will reproduce in droves and their numbers can quickly expand.They have been known to transfer some diseases also. It is important to get started eliminating them at the first sign of infestation.

Today I went to Nordstrom's and had a bra fitting. I was very surprised on how pleasant it was. The first thing was they had many fitters helping women. I went up to Jodi and said "I've watched Oprah" So we went in the fitting room and she check my size and we talked about the show and all the women who have been in since the show aired. Yes I was wearing the wrong size, which I knew since "the girls" pop out. I was worried about how much bigger my D - DD could go. I was wearing 38D or DD depending on the brand. My new size is 36 DD so now it was time to pick them out. I thought that it would be the same as other shopping trips dressing and undressing and looking for sizes. But I was wrong (here is the happy part) I stayed in the dressing room and Jodi went around getting me sizes and colors. I was worried that being a DD would limit my choices of pretty & sexy but I was wrong. I was also wrong about having them cost allot they ranged $32 - $42 which is normal for me.
I found some great bras and tips for caring for them + great customer serve. I didn't think retail gave that serve anymore. It was well worth it!!!
Now ladies go and get properly fitted!!!! (side note they have been keeping a tally on women wearing the wrong sizes since the show. It has been 100% every women has been wearing the wrong band and/or cup size)

LeGarrette Blount of Oregon, I mean. He's a young Pacman Jones. Is that a good thing?
Of course it's not a good thing.
He didn't just lose his cool Thursday night when he sucker-punched a Boise State player after the game. He became completely unhinged. He forgot where he was, who he was, and where he wants to go. And if he plays again this season, shame on Oregon coach Chip Kelly.
(Here's the video!)
A season-long suspension is a stiff, stiff penalty to pay for a college football player, especially a senior. But Blount has to go. A player cannot sucker-punch another player after the game, and then make it worse by trying to go all Ron Artest on the crowd. If it weren't for the police who stopped him, Blount would have been in the crowd making (punches) rain.
This might not be a bad guy, but that was a despicable show. And he has to go.
And if Chip Kelly doesn't see that, well, maybe Chip Kelly has to go as well.

The punishment fit the crime
He (Blount) got exactly what he deserved, suspended for the rest of the season. I applaud the Oregon coach for making a tough decision but it was the right one. I watched this unfold and thought his actions were over the top and I immediately said he should be suspended for the rest of the season. I think the Boise State player should have gotten a one game suspension for instigating the incident, he is not completely faultless in this situation, talking crap to a team you just beat, shows poor character, win with class and he showed 0 class talking smack like he did.

After seeing it several times, I agree with Kangaroo. Not a sucker punch and clearly provoked. Should it have happened despite provocation? Obviously not. But frankly I found the post-punch tirade against teammates, coaches, security/police, etc., much more troubling. It's clear that when Blount's "switch flipped", it redlined and he was unable or unwilling to control himself. Not a good thing when you're representing a university and already have a troubled past with disciplinary issues.

blount's comments before the game really aren't that big of a deal. it's bulletin board material plain and simple. dont make it out to be something worse because he said "ass". some of you guys are making it sound like this is the worst pre game trash talk that has ever occurred and that the talk alone was some serious offense when it reality it was just dumb. i dont think there would have been an altercation had hout just said something to blount, i think it was the physical contact that hout made that provoked blount so i view hout as the one that started it. in no way am i excusing what blount did. he's an embarrassment to his school and i'm sure the oregon athletic department will handle it accordingly.

Hurricane Alum,
It does not matter what the Boise player said. There is no way to justify Blount's actions. He was wrong and should be suspended. Anythiing else sends the message to younger players that this kind of action is ok if...... This kind of action is NEVER ok, and that is the message that Oregon and the NCAA needs to send to all the younger players out there.

Doyel...this was not a sucker punch, this was a response. A sucker punch is an unprovoked action. I'm not condoning Blount's later actions, but his initial reaction was to an opposing player taunting him. I have no sympathy for the Boise State player.

Awww -- he's like a young Pacman Jones
I agree with almost everything you said but the real problem is the fan. We, (and I certainly include myself as part of the problem), don't want to watch kids with good grades who are good sports and run a 4.8 40. We want to see the best of the best and that leads to handing these kids everything at an early age, they know they will always be taken care of because they are someone's meal ticket they know there will be someone there to bend the rules to get them into school. The way these kids are treated leads to the mentality of "I can do whatever I want" because they have always been allowed to and s, to by them a car, to get a charge dismissed when they punch their girlfriend in the face. Someone else always cleans up the mess.
The problem for Blount is that he isn't that good so now he is going to have to stand on his own and face the consequences. But the problem for sports is that we keep watching and demanding bigger stronger and faster no matter what the side effects. So we cheer when a guy comes back from a steriod suspension. I honestly don't know what the answer is, I don't want to watch polite slow guys run the weave, I want to watch Kobe Bryant, who paid a girl to drop a rape charge, take off from the free throw line and dunk over a 7 footer. There I said it, its my fault.

This year is the 20th anniversary of the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Americans have good reason to be skeptical about its legacy. It takes more than just lipstick for this pig; they need the full kit of beauty aids.
The promise was that by opening our borders to so called "free trade" with Mexico and Canada, the United States would gain jobs and wealth. Instead the United States has lost nearly a million manufacturing jobs; American livestock producers are undermined by a flood of Canadian and Mexican beef; foreign corporations interfere with our democratic process; and industry after industry has adjusted compensation downward, shrinking America's middle class.
Despite 20 years of failed NAFTA, trade promoters are looking to impose another even larger agreement that will encompass most of the countries on the Pacific Rim. The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty will expand everything that's wrong with NAFTA. This is why the trade lobby cannot afford an open discussion over the TPP, and are pushing for Congress to agree to "fast-track" the ratification process. In other words – no debate in Congress about the trade deal or public input allowed. We don't know – have not been allowed to know – what is in the TPP and our only opportunity for input is through the Congressional process. If Congress agrees to "fast-track," this avenue will be closed.
Everything about the way the trade treaties have been negotiated is asymmetrical. The benefits flow to the "Too Big to Fail" banks and trans-national corporations; the costs are piled on ordinary people. The U.S. trade deficit runs at about $50 billion every month. After 20 years that adds up to a pile of dough that has transferred from the pockets of working people to the offshore bank accounts of trans-national corporations.
We need trade and we have always had trade. The point is that the treaties that govern trade should be fair to all and symmetrical as to who benefits. We elect our government to represent our interests – not just investment bankers and trans-national corporations. Maybe it is inconvenient to negotiate complicated trade issues in the open, but that is what democracy means. So I urge you to contact your senators and representative and ask them to oppose fast track authority and fix the fatal flaws of NAFTA before ratifying the TPP.

What a hilarious dichotomy: Mr. and Mrs. (?) It-Is-a-BIG-SECRET are building a house larger than some public spaces in our city [Outpost, May 1]. They want to remain anonymous, but the house, when completed, will be so large, it will be seen from space! A padlock will give them the peace and privacy they most humbly desire.
Hmmm. Does the rule about really ridiculously large pickups apply to houses?
What a sad commentary on Big Secret's awareness of the world all around them. How many unfortunate folks right here in Yellowstone County could be helped by a mere percentage of the Mac Whopper's final costs? What kind of a dent in the mosquito-borne diseases that creep ever closer to Montana's borders could be made? How many tons of good, wholesome meat could be delivered to the Food Bank every week with just the decorating budget?
We all need to pray for these misguided folks, who don't really want to remain anonymous; who don't really know what it is like to camp out in one corner of a monumentally large "home," and then fear everyone who might come within sight of the place! Pity – and prayer: The only rational response to such an untimely, bloated exhibit of ego run amok. May they settle back down to earth and stop this insanity.

I applaud The Billings Gazette for its investigation into the increasing rail traffic through Billings, but I'm confused by BNSF's contradictory statements. A March 19 front-page article says that the delay of wheat shipments is due to increasing oil traffic, construction to accommodate the increase of Bakken oil shipped through Montana and weather.
In contradiction, BNSF spokesperson Steve Forsberg is quoted as saying that oil and coal shipments are not affecting grain shipments.
Really? In a public event on March 6, BNSF regional director of Public Affairs, Matt Jones, explained that BNSF has seen a major increase in Bakken oil rail traffic. Bakken oil production is up almost 300 percent over the last three years. The amount being transported by rail is nearly 70 percent in 2013, up from 6 percent in 2010.
Let's add this up. A massive increase in oil production and associated transportation by rail, $5 billion in rail construction to accommodate the increased traffic — and grain shipments, not oil or coal are sitting on side rails for weeks at a time.
This gives the appearance that BNSF is picking winners and losers. Montana's grain growers have been the backbone of Montana's economy and culture for generations. They deserve better service and honesty from BNSF.

These are transformative times as many healthier food choices come to Billings. There are more selections from familiar grocery stores and even at new out-of-state chains. It's a positive thing to broaden awareness and sharpen the conversation within this changing landscape of blurred lines and trendy marketing slogans.
Food co-ops have long been the leaders in this field of raising consciousness regarding genuine quality food. Co-ops were the first advocates for organics, local production, and improved growing practices.
I've been a co-op member for 35 years and it still amazes me just what a successful model of economics and social innovation they are. A billion people worldwide have joined member-owned, member-governed businesses that operate for the benefit of their members and communities.
Just one distinguishing, significant "co-op difference" is in creating healthier local economies and communities. Food co-ops generate more money for their local economy with 1.5 time more impact than conventional grocers. For 20 years the Good Earth Market has cultivated relationships with 140 local producers, now making up 25 percent our total sales volume.
"Healthy," "local," "community" are more than marketing slogans at Good Earth Market. Shop your values, share the fun at GEM, and keep more dollars in Billings.

Last month Montana lawmakers continued working on an important study about the future of renewable energy in Montana. The Legislature's Energy and Telecommunications Interim Committee (ETIC) has spent the last year analyzing the impact that our renewable energy standard has had on Montana's economy, electricity bills, and environment. As long as they play by the rules, they will discover what we already know to be true – renewable energy has been a good deal for Montana ratepayers.
Montana enacted a renewable energy standard in 2005, requiring public utilities to add new renewable energy sources into their electricity portfolio. Today, the utilities are on track to meet those benchmarks while acquiring energy that is actually cheaper than traditional fossil fuel sources.
The renewable energy standard is good policy because it reduces risk to ratepayers and lowers our electricity costs. In fact, new wind energy sources are one of the best deals for utilities. According to the Public Service Commission, wind energy from Judith Gap was significantly cheaper than sources from coal and even hydroelectric dams from 2009-11.
To the legislators studying the standard – help protect us from increasing electricity prices by developing more of Montana's renewable resources, such as wind and solar. We all know that renewable energy has proven to be a good deal for Montana by diversifying our energy supply, creating new jobs across the state, cleaning up our air, and boosting our tax base. Let's do more in the coming years.

Sometimes, to defend poor choices, a man's bravado has his mouth writing checks his butt can't cash. This appears to have been the scenario facing Sen. Art Wittich in the final hours of filing for legislative office.
First, a history lesson: Wittich and his associates, while safely nestled in the warm embrace of Dark Money, have made it their mission to inform Republicans that primaries are good for the party. They justified this claim by stating that primaries have a uniquely "purifying" power that forces candidates to "own their vote."
It seems an opponent was listening. On the final day of election signups, Wittich had the opportunity to put his hollow maxim to the test - to finally live by the words he preached. A primary loomed.
Nervous and caught unaware, Wittich began to ponder …
Maybe his singular dubious accolade, a stellar rating on Roger Koopman's cherry-picked scorecard (TAB), didn't have the star power envisioned?
Maybe the verdict on his failed leadership would haunt him? Would anybody actually believe the fable that his failure to lead was somebody else's fault?
Maybe he feared that the voters would uncover his efforts to dismantle public education? Or his reference to volunteer school trustees as members of a "commie" club?
Or maybe, just maybe, it was the zero he received on the Montana University System scorecard? Bozeman is a university town and his constituents might find it unsettling that Sen. Wittich's only support for the university was empty lip service.
By closing time, Senate Majority Leader Wittich had decided that an open discussion of his record, his leadership failure, and his looming legal troubles was a sure recipe for defeat. He disowned his principles and fled the primary to an uncontested House race. Can anyone say - hypocrite?

Jon Curran wins Brazil Champions
SAO PAULO -- Jon Curran completed a wire-to-wire victory Sunday in the Web.com Tour's Brazil Champions, closing with a 2-under 69 to beat Alex Cejka by four strokes.
Curran finished at 25-under 259 at Sao Paulo Golf Club and earned $144,000 for his first Web.com Tour title in only his fourth start. The 27-year-old former Vanderbilt player opened with a course-record 61 and added rounds of 64 and 65.
"I kept thinking to myself all day that I wasn't nervous, I was just anxious," said Curran, who led by four at the start of the day. "I said to myself that it was going to be OK if I wasn't in the lead at some point, I just wanted to have a chance on the back nine."
Cejka, the winner of the season-opening Colombia Championship last month, also shot a 69. He earned $86,400 to push his total to $221,400, more than enough to wrap up a spot next season on the PGA Tour.
Ash Hall was another stroke back after a 70.
Curran, from Hopkinton, Mass., had a tour-record eight consecutive birdies in first round, had the second-lowest 36-hole score in tour history at 125, matched the lowest 54-hole mark at 190 and tied for fifth-best total.
"Somebody once said that you're going to face something in the final round that you haven't faced all week," he said. "The guys who win deal with it and the guys that don't, don't win."

Peter Bjorn and John: 17 March 2009 - New York, W Hotel
After an awkwardly scripted, but hilariously oblivious, introduction by the night's host Bryan Michael Cox, Peter Bjorn and John took the stage at their "Wonderlust" W Hotel gig. Their physical and musical presence was highly anticipated, not having performed in the US for a year and their fifth album, Living Thing, arriving March 31.
Playing mostly new songs from Living Thing, their sound adhered to the stripped-down minimalist indie pop of past albums—namely the excellent Writer's Block. But now, in their sparse arrangements, synthetic sounds dominated. Peter Moren hammered away at a keyboard while John Eriksson eschewed a drum throne and kit, instead standing in front of a shelf of sampling pads, drums and cymbals while kicking a bass drum to his right.
Compared to their listless photo op upon entering the venue, the trio was animated and energetic, excited to be performing new music. In a bit of role reversal Björn Yttling played keyboard while Moren slashed away on bass for "I Want You!"
Peter Bjorn and John joined the Catchy-Kids-Chorus-Club with "Nothing To Worry About". Gorgeous minor-soaked melodies scratched against Eastern flute samples and a heavy beat before Moren's voice took over. It was the first point in the set at which everyone in the crowd was dancing and seemed to have a clue as to what the Swedes were up to.
On "It Don't Move Me", Yttling echoed the same piano sounds he created as producer on Lykke Li's "I'm Good, I'm Gone". Also the intro on title track "Living Thing" had hints of Moren's Swedish rockabilly roots.
A few of the band's songs were a departure from the irrepressibly catchy, but intriguing, melodies PB and J have accustomed themselves to. At some points they seemed to be veering towards the current post punk trend, one that dishevels their tight sound. Ending with "Object Of My Affection", however, they played with precisely the type of above punk ethos their music—and facial hair—emanates.
Forty minutes later they finished with a single encore, "Young Folks". I thought it was a bit 2007, and would have definitely preferred the "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" Moren flaunted at a Mercury Lounge show a year ago.

Despite the general perception, there are immense opportunities for the people in the Gulf who want to give back to their society as social entrepreneurs. Atique Naqvi investigates.
August 15, 2011 10:00 by Atique Naqvi
Keeping in mind the high standard of living and the abundant oil wealth in the GCC countries, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman, one would think that being a social entrepreneur in this region is not practical. But there are immense opportunities for the people who want to give back to their society and the only criteria is that the start-ups have to be extremely innovative and determined to bring positive change in the region, said the social entrepreneurs and the business leaders who attended the Acumen Fund event in Dubai last month.
The 'Social Entrepreneurship: Social Impact' event attracted people beyond capacity of the venue but the crowded place did not reduce the enthusiasm of the entrepreneurs and investors attending the conference. Besides the panel discussion, some of the region's social entrepreneurs shared their stories of success.
Founder of Webpreneur, Amir Anzur, said that as the technology is changing extremely fast and people of more 25 years of age sometimes struggle to keep up with the latest changes. He started an academy to train executives in the latest technology and how they can apply the latest gadgets to the best of their business strategies. "There were days when people use to prepare resumes but now they can market themselves as a brand through Internet," he said. Webreneur also helps businesses in the region go online, and thus go global. "We helped Anwer Ahmed to set up a website for his honey products. He buys honey for $12 and sells it for $45 online – reaching the global market."
Where there is abundance, the chances of waste are high and Marwan Chaar, co-founder and managing director of FuGu Energy, realized that quite early and turned the idea into a business. The statistics he gave were startling. "The energy used by buildings in the UAE is 72 percent of the total consumption and if effective ways are applied to reduce consumption by 10 percent, then with the saved energy all of Yemen can be powered," he said.
FuGu derives its name from a Japanese delicacy fugu, poisonous enough to kill unless served correctly. There is no known antidote to the poison of the fugu fish, just as there is no "quick fix" for the world's energy needs. The firm, which was established in 2009, is a member of the UAE Business Council for Sustainable Development and provides innovative solutions to identify, develop, and implement demand reduction in facilities.
Among other social entrepreneurs, who narrated their success stories, were founder and CEO of CareZone Ritesh Tilani and founder of Nakhweh Kamel Al Asmar. CareZone connects the corporate world with the customers so that customers can help their favorite causes with no extra cost to them, while Nakhweh bridges the gap between volunteers and the organizations looking for volunteers.
The panelists, founder and CEO of Acumen Fund Jacqueline Novogratz, co-founder and CEO of Baraka Ventures Rama Chakaki, regional director of Ashoka Arab World Dr Iman Bibars, head of Sougha initiative at Khalifa Fund Leila Ben Gacem and manager of entrepreneurship development at Khalifa Fund and the director of Hub Dubai Najla Al Midfa, gave their insights about the social entrepreneurship in the region.
Leila Ben Gacem shared a story of a 'socially and digitally isolated' Emirati woman in Sila, who started weaving handicraft, which became an instant hit. The Sougha, or gift, initiative has taken steps to revive the art of weaving in the UAE with the help of government entities. "Now Etihad Airways has decided to sell her products," she said, adding that "with our Sougha program we are helping out the local artists turn their art into micro-businesses."
Rama Chakaki said that there is a misconception among people that social entrepreneurship means charity. It is an innovative business plan for the betterment of the society, she said. Social entrepreneurs, most of the time, require a lot of volunteers, which is quite a big challenge in this region. "There are a lot of young people who are working as volunteers

Learning the depths of Social Entrepreneurship has
made me realize many things in my own life. I have been
taking the wrong approach towards life which took me towards
the path I never wanted to take in the first place. Beginning
with the crystal clear clarity about my goals and taking every
one I know into consideration is the next step I intend to take
very seriously.
