33 year old woman | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking men 28-40 within 20 miles
Active within 24 hours
Down-to-earth young maiden looking for something extraordinary.
Born and raised in California, I love everything this state has to offer but I'm not the cliche Cali girl. I'm committed to helping others and growing as an individual, professional and human being. I love to travel from the beautiful shores of Maui to the Moorish countryside of Spain. I have an adventurous spirit and enjoy everything from museum trips and comedy shows to scenic hikes and beachside strolls. I love to explore everything that LA has to offer but I can also appreciate curling up on the couch and having a quiet movie night. Having an all-consuming job has taught me the importance of balance in my life so I cherish the time I spend with friends and make sure to make time for exercise, relaxation and fun. I don't care if you drive a garbage truck or are a corporate executive...I'm looking for someone who's warm-hearted, hardworking and passionate about life. A sense of humor and perspective on what's really important in life is also important. I'm looking for someone who can appreciate my goofy side, be my partner in crime and my best friend--among other things.:) I'm interested in making a life that can be monotonous at times into something extraordinary. On a side note, I'm kind of an old fashioned girl so if you're interested shoot me a message & let the sparks fly!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs
I am a total animal lover and am blessed to have a wonderful rescue dog named Baxter. Although I've always been a bit anti-cat, a cuddly and at times sly feline named Bianca wormed her way into my household about 2 years ago. Lots of licks and love.
Middle of the Road
My dog Baxter, quality time with my friends, my DVR so I can decompress and catch up on my guilty pleasures, sushi, sunsets, picnics, the ocean, barbecues, Dodger games, the wind, sunny days, my iPhone, traveling, hearing people's stories and my dad.
I can enjoy an upscale night on the town, experimenting with exotic cuisine, hiking in a scenic location, exploring a local museum or building sand castles at the beach. What you're doing is less important than who you're doing it with!

Post Holdings, Inc. Reports Results for the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 PR Newswire ST. LOUIS, Feb. 7, 2013 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST), a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of branded ready to eat cereals, today reported results for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120523/CG12577LOGO) First Quarter 2013 Highlights: oNet sales of $236.9 million oAdjusted EBITDA up 15% year over year to $52.5 million oU.S. dollar market share for expanded all outlets combined (xAOC) of 10.2% for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2012 Post net sales increased 8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a 6% improvement in overall volumes and a 2% increase in average net selling prices. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the improved volumes were driven by increases in the Honey Bunches of Oats, Grape Nuts and Pebbles brands which increased 3%, 15% and 5%, respectively, as well as increases from the recently introduced Good Morenings value brand and co-manufacturing agreements. Average net selling prices increased primarily due to lower overall trade and promotional spending despite incrementally higher slotting fees for new product introductions. Gross profit increased by 7.9% for the first quarter versus prior year on improved net sales, gross profit margin percentage decreased by 0.1% primarily due to higher raw materials costs (primarily grains, fruit and packaging), partially offset by improved fixed cost absorption. Production volume increased with sales volumes, but also reflected inventory build-up as a contingency plan in anticipation of work stoppage at one of our manufacturing facilities. We were successful in reaching an agreement with the labor union without a work stoppage. We anticipate lower production volumes aimed at reducing inventory may unfavorably impact fixed cost absorption in future periods. Excluding the effect of $2.8 million and $2.7 million of costs related to the transition and separation from Ralcorp incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased from 27.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 to 29.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This increase was primarily driven by incremental holding company costs, non-cash mark to market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities and higher operating company overhead for the new direct sales force. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $52.5 million versus $45.6 million for the same time period a year ago. Income tax expense was $3.5 million, which represents an effective income tax rate of 31.5%, for the first quarter, compared to an effective income tax rate of 32.3% for the same period a year ago. Net earnings were $7.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the first quarter. Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $10.0 million and $0.31, respectively. Operating cash flow was $23.6 million and $26.2 million in the first quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. The current year amount was favorably impacted by a $15.0 million premium on our $250 million high yield bond offering completed in October 2012. Increases in inventory and accounts receivable unfavorably impacted operating cash flow for the 2013 quarter in the aggregate amount of approximately $28.8 million. Inventory increased for the aforementioned work stoppage contingency plan, and the increase in accounts receivable resulted from large pipeline shipments of new products during the last two weeks of the 2013 first quarter. According to Nielsen, ready to eat cereal category revenues were down slightly, -0.8%, for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2012 as compared to the prior year, and category volumes, measured in pounds, declined -1.9%. Category dollars for the quarter were not down as significantly as consumption volume due to slight increases in every day and promoted average selling prices. The current year Nielsen data referenced in this press release is as of December 29, 2012. Post's U.S. xAOC dollar market share was 10.2% for the thirteen weeks ended December 29, 2012, down 0.5 share points versus the same prior year time period. Post's xAOC pounds share was steady at 10.4% for the thirteen week period ended December 29, 2012. Post and Ralcorp entered into a Transition Services Agreement in connection with the spin-off of Post from Ralcorp, covering over 20 different services areas. The most critical service area, information technology, is on track to go live and on an independent basis this summer. Management does not expect the recent merger of Ralcorp with ConAgra Foods Inc. to materially impact Post's information technology transition plans. Outlook Post management confirms its previously provided guidance for fiscal 2013 Adjusted EBITDA to be between $210 million and $225 million, after considering the estimated year-over-year unfavorable commodity cost effect of between $10 million and $15 million. Post management continues to expect that capital expenditures will be in the range of $30 to $35 million, inclusive of between $11 and $13 million of capital costs associated with establishing stand-alone information systems separate from Ralcorp. Finally, management expects net interest expense to be between $80 and $83 million in fiscal 2013. Use of Non-GAAP Measures Management has determined that the Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share metrics presented herein are key metrics that will help investors understand the ultimate income and near-term cash flows generated by our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure which represents net earnings excluding income taxes, net interest expense, net other nonoperating income/expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash stock based compensation, nonrecurring cash compensation for retention/severance, accounts receivable servicing fees, costs to effect Post's separation from Ralcorp and to establish stand-alone systems and processes, mark to market adjustments on economic hedges and intangible asset impairments, if any, and including an estimate of incremental costs Post would have incurred had it been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's operating performance and liquidity because (i) it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, (ii) it presents a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of the Company's capital structure and the method by which the assets were acquired, and (iii) it is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to service its debt, as the Company is required to comply with certain covenants and limitations that are based on variations of EBITDA in the Company's financing documents. Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP measure which represents net earnings excluding costs to effect Post's separation from Ralcorp and to establish stand-alone systems and processes, nonrecurring cash compensation for retention/severance, items not transferred to Post after the separation from Ralcorp such as equity income and currency gains on intercompany debt, and includes an estimate of incremental selling, general and administrative costs and interest expense Post would have incurred had it been a stand-alone public company for the entire period reported. The Company believes Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance because they exclude items that could affect the comparability of our financial results and could potentially distort the trends in business performance. In addition, for the historical periods presented, they provide investors with insight into the Company's performance on a basis consistent with being a stand-alone public company rather than an operating segment of Ralcorp. The calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share are not specified by United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net earnings and Adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. See the reconciliation tables provided at the end of this press release. Conference Call The Company will host a conference call on Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. During the call, Terence E. Block, President and Chief Operating Officer, and Robert V. Vitale, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the results for the first quarter of 2013 and fiscal 2013 guidance. The call will be broadcast over the Internet and can be accessed by visiting the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.postfoods.com. Participants may join the conference call by dialing (877) 540-0891 in the United States and (678) 408-4007 from outside the United States. The conference identification number for all participants is 91491617. For those unable to participate during the live call and webcast, a replay will be available on the Company's website until February 21, 2013. Forward-Looking Statements Certain matters discussed in this press release and on the conference call are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the timing of our inventory reduction, our Adjusted EBITDA guidance for fiscal 2013, expected capital spending in fiscal 2013, expected net interest expense in fiscal 2013, our expected unfavorable commodity cost effect in fiscal 2013, and our expectations regarding the timing of our information technology transition. Such statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include the impact of our separation from Ralcorp and risks relating to our ability to operate effectively as a stand-alone, publicly traded company; our high leverage and substantial debt, including covenants that will restrict the operation of our business; the impact of the restatement of Post's financial statements; significant increases in the costs of certain commodities, packaging or energy used to manufacture our products; changes in our cost structure, management, financing and business operations following the separation; labor strikes or work stoppages by our employees; our ability to achieve benefits from our separation; our obligations to indemnify Ralcorp if the separation is taxable under certain circumstances; restrictions on our taking certain actions due to tax rules and covenants with Ralcorp; our ability to continue to compete in our product market against manufacturers of both branded and private label cereal products and our ability to retain our market position; our ability to maintain competitive pricing, successfully introduce new products or successfully manage our costs; our ability to successfully implement business strategies to reduce costs; impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangibles; the loss or bankruptcy of a significant customer; allegations that our products cause injury or illness, product recalls and product liability claims and other litigation; our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and trends; changes in consumer demand for ready-to-eat cereals; our ability to service our outstanding debt or obtain additional financing; disruptions in the U.S. and global capital and credit markets; legal and regulatory factors including changes in food safety, advertising and labeling laws and regulations; disruptions or inefficiencies in supply chain; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; consolidations among the retail grocery and foodservice industries; change in estimates in critical accounting judgments and changes to or new laws and regulations affecting our business; losses or increased funding and expenses related to our qualified pension plan; loss of key employees; changes in weather conditions, natural disasters and other events beyond our control; business disruptions caused by information technology failures; and other risks described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Francis William Kellogg
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2013)
Francis William Kellogg (May 30, 1810 – January 13, 1879) was a U.S. Representative from the states of Michigan and Alabama.
Kellogg was born in Worthington, Massachusetts and attended the common schools. He moved to Columbus, Ohio, in 1833 and then to Grand Rapids, Michigan, in 1855 where he engaged in the lumber business with the firm Kellogg, White & Co. at Kelloggville (which was named after him) in Kent County, Michigan. He was a member of the Michigan State House of Representatives in 1857 and 1858.
Kellogg was elected from Michigan as a Republican to United States House of Representatives for the 36th, 37th, and 38th Congresses, serving from March 4, 1859 to March 3, 1865. He represented Michigan's 3rd congressional district 1859-1863, then the 4th district, 1863-1865. In all three elections, he defeated the former mayor of Grand Rapids, Thomas B. Church in the general election. During the American Civil War, he organized the Second, Third, and Sixth Regiments by the authority of the United States Department of War. He was appointed as the colonel of the Third Michigan.
During Reconstruction, he was appointed by U.S. President Andrew Johnson as collector of internal revenue for the southern district of Alabama on April 30, 1866, and served until July 1868, residing in Mobile, Alabama.
Upon the re-admission of Alabama to the Union, Kellogg was elected as a Republican Alabama's 1st congressional district to the 40th Congress, serving from July 22, 1868, to March 3, 1869. He then moved to New York City and later to Alliance, Ohio, where he died. He is interred in Fulton Street Cemetery in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

good news thank you!!
Re: Enough power for gtx 460?
You might want to get one a little bigger if you plan on overclocking ,but if you are going to run stock then that should be plenty.

Rebecca Ferguson Lands Female Lead in MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 5
According to Deadline, Golden Globe nominee Rebecca Ferguson (BBC's THE WHITE QUEEN) has landed the female lead in MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5, set to be directed by Christopher McQuarrie, and written by video game scribe Will Staples. Alec Baldwin is also in talks to join the cast as the head of the CIA.
Franchise star Tom Cruise has been set for M:I 5 since May 2013. The actor will also executive produce for Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot will return as producer.
In the last MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE installment, titled GHOST PROTOCOL, blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates "Ghost Protocol." Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency's name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know. Cruise returned in the starring role as Ethan Hunt and was joined by an international cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist,Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway,Anil Kapoor and Lea Seydoux.
McQuarrie has previously directed Jack Reacher and THE WAY OF THE GUN. He's written such films as THE TOURIST, JACK THE GIANT SLAYER, and VALKYRIE, which featured Cruise. He also wrote the upcoming sci-fi flick THE EDGE OF TOMORROW - once again, starring Tom Cruise.
Staples will next write BLOOD & TREASURE, and has penned the scripts for such video games as NEED FOR SPEED: RIVALS and CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 3.

The hair will be donated to Locks of Love, which is a nonprofit organization that uses hair to make wigs for financially disadvantaged children who suffer from long-term hair loss because of any medical condition.
Cody's brother DJ, 14, to the right in the background, watches. Inspired by his brother, Cody started growing his hair long to donate after DJ donated his hair to Locks of Love several years ago.

Supreme Surprise (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The SCOTUS has caused quite a din
Over gay marriage rights. Is it sin
Or just fine for the states
To say gays can be mates?
Its response is "We shouldn't mix in."
Supreme Surprise (Limerick)

The SCOTUS has caused quite a din

Happy 225th birthday to the U.S. Supreme Court! (On Sept. 24, 1789 President George Washington signed the
Judiciary Act of 1789, which created a Supreme Court with six justices.)
Happy Birthday To The Supremes (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Seems today marks the birth of a court,
The court of supreme last resort.
Chief Justice John Jay
Ran it back in the day.
I just wish it would do what it ort.
I can't help wondering whether Supreme Court Justice Scalia says weird things like this just for attention:
Speaking at the University of Tennessee College of Law on Tuesday, the longest-serving justice currently on the bench was asked by a student about the constitutionality of the income tax, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports.
Scalia responded that the government has the right to implement the tax, "but if it reaches a certain point, perhaps you should revolt."
Limerick Ode To Antonin Scalia
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Suggesting that students revolt
Over taxes ain't very adult.
It seems doltish Scalia
Has mouth diarrhea.
I surmise that his brain's short a bolt.
Weep For The Wealthy (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Though the wealthy will publicly cheer
As campaign regs get knocked on their rear,
Some privately groan:
"No limits?" they moan.
"Buying pols is becoming too dear!"
Note from Mad Kane: Although I concocted that quote, it may be closer to the truth than you think. Here's The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, who argued on ABC's This Week "that not every wealthy donor will embrace the outcome of the McCutcheon case, because they may now be obliged to give more:"
"All the donors I know hate this decision, of course," he said. "This used to be a very good excuse to say to a candidate, ooh, I'm maxing out, I just can't help your campaign."
Free Speech Gets Pricey (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Remember "one person, one vote?"
Now "one dollar, one vote's" what they wrote;
Yes, the U.S. Supremes
Favor money — in reams,
As the rich grab free speech by the throat.
Thanks to the New Yorker's John Cassidy, for inspiring this limerick with his acerbic comment about McCutcheon v. FEC:
But Wednesday's decision, once again a five-to-four ruling, represented another significant step away from the antiquated principle of "one person, one vote" toward the more modern, and utilitarian, notion of "one dollar, one vote."
If you thought the Citizens United ruling undermined democracy, brace yourself: The Roberts court has made things even worse with yet another controversial 5-4 decision in McCutcheon v. FEC. Assaulting campaign finance reform once again, the Supreme Court struck down the aggregate limits on how much an individual can contribute to candidates, parties and political action committees.
As Ari Berman astutely observes:
The Court's conservative majority believes that the First Amendment gives wealthy donors and powerful corporations the carte blanche right to buy an election but that the Fifteenth Amendment does not give Americans the right to vote free of racial discrimination.
Supreme Priorities
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The Supremes freed the wealthy to buy
Politicians — an endless supply.
Seems "free speech" means "free spending,"
While "voting rights rending"
Isn't something they care to decry.
The U.S. Supreme Court's hypocritical demolishment of the Voting Rights Act, followed by a rush by certain states to impose discriminatory voting restrictions, inspired this three-verse limerick:
The Supreme Court Preclears Voter Suppression (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Sev'ral states who once had to preclear
Any voting law change, gave a cheer:
The Supremes set them free
To restrict votes with glee,
Which they're doing with plans in high gear.
In its holding, both sneaky and bold,
The Sup Court said the formula's old,
And so need not be heeded–
A new one is needed:
It freed states to fair-voting withhold.
Some are doing just that with great speed,
Which proves that old formula's need–
That it wasn't outdated:
Bad intent's unabated,
And there's nothing to stop its stampede.
I've been meaning to write about Antonin Scalia's obnoxious Voting Rights Act comments. Something tells me he'd be a bit more enthused about the law, if the people it protected tended to vote Republican.
Limerick Ode To Antonin Scalia
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Scalia gave quite the recital
With that "racial entitlement" title
He "bestowed" on the vote,
Fearing Dem voter bloat:
To Scalia, such voters ain't vital.
I can't help admiring the audacity and creativity of this fellow's Citizens United-inspired legal argument:
A driver in San Rafael, California is attempting to appeal a traffic citation for driving alone in a High Occupancy Vehicle lane. Jonathan Frieman and his attorney, Ford Greene, argue that since Frieman had corporate incorporation papers in his car when he was stopped by an officer, he was actually carpooling at the time…
He's sworn to chase the case all the way to the Supreme Court should the first trial not go his way in an attempt to "expose the impracticality of corporate personhood."
A Driving Attack On Corporate Personhood (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I'm not driving alone, said the guy
In the HOV lane, and here's why:
Corp'rate personhood rules,
And my corp files, you fools,
Are right here. My defense — you must buy!
Dear Scott Brown: When trying to sell yourself in Massachusetts as a moderate independent, it's best not to name Antonin Scalia as your favorite U.S. Supreme Court Justice. Methinks you made Elizabeth Warren's day.
Limerick Ode To Scott Brown
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear Scott Brown, seems your cover's been blown:
Your favorite Justice is known
As Extremist Supreme.
You named Nino! Your scheme
To sound moderate's naught but a drone.
Today is the First Monday in October, which means the U.S. Supreme Court is back in session. A court, I might add, that's packed with aging Justices, who could very well retire in the next four years.
Courting Votes (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The Supreme Court is back in DC—
A reminder that voting is key.
Just imagine the blight:
A court swing further right—
Forty-seven percenter debris.
UPDATE: In a Facebook discussion of my limerick, someone suggested that smoking weed might improve the Justices' ability to render good decisions. So naturally, I had to write this:
The Justices need to be stoned –
Not with rocks, of course. Cannabis-zoned.
They'd make better decisions
And fewer provisions
Wherein stare decisis is boned.
Open Limerick To Chief Justice John Roberts
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Justice Roberts, your allies are mean,
And their attitude's often obscene.
When they hate one decision,
Their answer's derision:
Your meds fried your brain. No more sheen!
With people like that in your camp,
Perhaps it is time to revamp
Your views and opinions.
Dump low-lives as minions.
Convert! Be a working man's champ.
Republicans are in shock over the U.S. Supreme Court's "Obamacare" decision. They'd been so sure they had Justice John Roberts in their pockets, that they're behaving like betrayed lovers: How dare he side with the liberal wing of the court on the constitutionality question!
Many of them are enraged to the point of irrationality. In fact, even Justice Roberts seems to have noticed the GOP's "what have you done for me lately" nastiness. He actually joked about going into hiding.
GOP Falls Out Of Love With Roberts (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The decision John Roberts just penned
Has sent ACA foes round the bend.
Up till now he'd promote
All their views with his vote.
Has their Roberts' romance reached an end?
Wow! When I wasn't looking, President Obama apparently mugged the U.S. Supreme Court:
To the fainting couch! Obama attacked the Supreme Court and threatened it with a backlash, should it strike down his tyrannical scheme to impose a government takeover of health care on the nation!
That's what many conservative writers and even some centrist ones are arguing. They are saying that Obama's words about the Court yesterday were "unsettling" and a "witch-hunt," and they're likening them to F.D.R.'s efforts to pack the Court in retaliation for decisions striking down New Deal initiatives.
Please. If what Obama said yesterday is an "attack," it's pretty timid stuff indeed.
SCOTUS-Scolding Scandal? (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The very same wingnuts who blast
So-called "activist courts" are aghast
And are faulting Obama
With petulant drama:
"He's attacking the Court," they lambaste.
Seems those wingnut Supremes need a hug,
Cuz Obama's a meanie and "thug."
His complaint, although mild,
Is driving them wild.
Those guys are sure easy to bug.
Chances are, you've heard about the latest Supreme Court travesty:
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled against a New Jersey man erroneously arrested during a 2005 traffic stop for a fine he had already paid. Today's ruling holds that even people arrested for minor offenses can be subjected to strip searches.
Supreme Indecency (Limerick)

Thanks to Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia,
And their pals, cops can strip ya and see ya.
They don't need any reason:
It's strip searching season.
Our privacy's gone! Mama mia!
Alert the authorities: U.S. Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan has "embraced dowdy as a mark of brainpower." Moreover, unlike "most women" she doesn't cross her legs when she's sitting.
Yes, Washington Post columnist Robin Ghivan is at it again with her sexist political fashion drivel. (I still haven't recovered from Ghivan's column about Hillary Clinton's cleavage.)
Well here's a news flash for Ms. Ghivan: Any grown woman with half a brain knows that crossing your legs is both uncomfortable and unhealthy. But hey, if you want varicose veins go right ahead.
Robin Ghivan Makes Me Cross (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
If you care about good circulation
And prefer that your feet have sensation,
Then you don't cross your legs.
Givhan's column's the dregs.
Sexist nonsense is Robin's fixation.
As the Washington Post's Valerie Strauss points out, the U.S. Supreme Court is packed with graduates of Harvard Law and Yale Law:
Assuming President Obama wins confirmation of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, that august body will be exclusively filled with judges who earned their law degrees at Harvard or Yale.
Strauss thinks such exclusivity is a bad idea and, as you can tell from this limerick, so do I:
Why I'll Never Be A Supreme Court Justice
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It appears that Supremes have to hail
From the law schools of Harvard or Yale.
My law school's St. John's.
That's just one of my "cons."
Plus I'm sixty — I might as well bail.
Apparently, anti-Kagan attacks from the right have been inspiring some liberals to rally around her. But I'm not among them. Not yet, anyway.
Now for all I know, Elena Kagan may be a closet liberal. I sure hope so. But so far there's little to suggest that Kagan's any more liberal than President Obama, and that scares me.
Leery About Elena (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There's no doubt that Ms. Kagan's quite smart.
Some say brilliant, but does she have heart?
We've a liberal hole.
Will she fill it with soul,
Or tip the court "right" from the start?

Outside linebacker Clark Haggans, a 12-year NFL veteran, is among 18 players released by the Arizona Cardinals as the team reached the NFL's 53-man roster limit. The Cardinals also placed quarterback Rich Bartel on injured reserve, ending his season. Bartel injured a shoulder in Arizona's preseason finale against Denver on Thursday night. Among the other players released are defensive end Ronald Talley, wide receiver DeMarco Sampson, running back Alfonso Smith, linebacker Quan Sturdivant, offensive tackle D.J. Young and tight end Steve Skelton, whose older brother John was picked to be the Cardinals' starting quarterback earlier in the day. Young had a brief try at left tackle following the season-ending injury to Levi Brown, but struggled in a game against Tennessee.

Riad Hamad was an outspoken advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people, and the founder of the Palestinian Children's Welfare Fund. He spent his own money from his salary as a teacher to send shipments of school supplies and medicine to children in Palestinian refugee camps. Despite the fact that Hamad's body was found bound and gagged, police have declared his death a suicide. James Mason is with the Austin Police Department. Less than a month before his death, Hamad emailed friends saying that the FBI had raided his home and taken more than fifty boxes. He also reported receiving death threats by phone around the same time.

Vanessa Branch has a thing for dirty mouths.
The petite, peppy blonde has helped make Orbit the No. 1 gum with her quest in commercials to show that Orbit can clean up a dirty mouth "no matter what."
Each ad features a vignette in which someone has some kind of "dirty mouth." At the end, Branch, 34, holds up a package of Orbit and says, "Dirty mouth? Clean it up."
She then does her catchphrase, "Fabulous," in an English accent as flashes of light ping off everyone's teeth to show Orbit did its job.
The campy ads, by Energy BBDO, Chicago, have changed little in more than 20 versions as Orbit climbed to be the USA's top-selling gum in just five years. Branch has been the mainstay in her '60s retro, white outfit.
"She becomes an element that is readily identifiable for the brand," says Paul Chibe, vice president of U.S. marketing. "She can embody the brand personality, deliver a stylish personality and quirky sense of humor and do it with flair."
Branch landed the job in a quirky audition during which applicants had to keep reading their lines no matter what — such as, in Branch's case, a tennis ball was flung at her.
It hit her smack in her forehead, but she didn't flinch or miss a line.
"I'd been doing theater since I was 3, so I knew you just keep going," Branch says. "I looked like an idiot, but it seems that's how I stood out."
Q: Did speaking Mandarin and French help you get the part?
A: No, I don't think so. But I'd love for Orbit to do a Chinese ad.
Q: You've been part of Orbit marketing since Day One. How much do you feel you've contributed to its success?
A: It's a combination of it being a fantastic product and a fantastic campaign. It's very funny and has obviously appealed to consumers. It's become a pop culture thing. I hope my character as the common thread through the ads has been part of it, but I think it has more to do with the gum and the writing.
Q:You're getting more exposure: You just appeared a third time as Giselle in the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean,and you have the lead in the independent thrillerCold Playthat's about to start filming. You've been featured in magazines such asMaxim and Stuff. Is there any concern that your other work overshadows your Orbit work?
A: I don't think so. The campaign has its own interesting flair, and I think those things play off each other for me and the brand. I don't think it impedes either. I think it's helpful for Orbit that I'm getting more noticed. But sometimes people don't know it's me. They say, "You look like the Orbit girl." I don't tell them it's me.
Q:The current Orbit ad has a companion, 90-second, behind-the-scenes video on YouTube with Steve-O of Jackass fame showing how he chugs sand. Do you foresee more Web-related scenarios in advertising?
A: I hope so. It seems like it's the wave of the future. Fans love seeing outtakes. I think it's really smart to go in that direction. This is a society that watches reality TV. Everyone wants to see behind the scenes.
Q:Should actors be compensated for ads shown on the Web?
A: It's a very tricky subject about what spaces are free domains. But I can see both sides of it.
Q:You've made nearly 20 commercials —what's been your favorite so far?

New law in Cuba could help ease housing shortage
This plaza market is exclusively for private entrepreneurs to sell their wares.
Steve Chiotakis: People in Cuba can now, reportedly,
buy and sell property for the first time since the country's Communist revolution.
The BBC's Michael Voss reports the Cuban government hopes the new law will also ease a severe housing shortage.
Michael Voss: Most Cubans do officially own the title to their homes and can pass them on to their children. But buying or selling real estate is not allowed. The only way to move was through a complicated trading system, which often involved illegal payments and bribes to government officials.
The result is a chronic housing shortage with three, sometimes four generations often forced to live together in tiny cramped apartments. The new law, announced on the front page of the communist party Newspaper Granma, will take effect on November 10th.
Jorge Luis Tapia was recently elected to the communist party's central committee. He's leading efforts to rejuvenate the island's stagnant economy.
Jorge Luis Tapia: We have to change our mentality. To engage with the private sector and know more about their concerns.
The majority of the Cuban economy will remain in state hands, but changes are afoot. Besides homes, car sales were just recently legalized and Cubans can hire workers for some small business work.
In Havana, I'm the BBC's Michael Voss for Marketplace.

Dana is biased towards wrestlers.
Another reason I think Cruz should have been stripped of the title was for the sake of Cruz himself.
I am by no means an expert on the injury he sustained and the long term effects it could have, nor do I have first hand knowledge of the impacts of ring rust. Still, to me it seems like if you were out of a sport for two years, you should be given the chance to work your way back in. I'm not sure it will be good for Cruz to have to have his first fight be against a guy as skilled as Barao, and with the pressure and intensity of a title fight.
I don't think Cruz can turn it down, because there is to much pressure on him to take the championship opportunity, and not look like he's ducking Baroa. I think it would be better for him if he had been stripped and could come back at his own leisure and possibly get a fight or two in first.
All that to say I agree with a predetermined limit, as opposed to deciding on a case by case basis.
But here is the issue you will run into right away. "Barao never beat Cruz and is only champion because of a freak injury!!!!!!!" every single time someone says Barao's name. And it will happen. It happened to Matt Hughes for years after BJ Penn left. Every time someone mentioned Hughes being champ, someone else would chime in and say it was only because Penn left. So even if Cruz was stripped, lots of people would be saying Barao isn't the champ till he beats Cruz.
Johna Cena defended his title like 50 times this past....oh crap a faux pa :devilsmilie2:
I support the "a champ must defend the title at least once annually" camp. Cause that's the right philosophy, yeah.
While it may not be fair to strip the title from a champ with a legitimate injury, it's even more unfair to hold up an entire weight class. Maybe have an understanding that should the former champ come back in a reasonable amount of time then they get first crack at it or something.
Just set a standard procedure in the event a champ is hurt/out and apply it to all interim situations. Interim champ becomes champ after x and the previous title holder gets a shot to regain their belt upon returning. This is a simple problem to solve.
...but I don't see that as a good reason for not implementing a rule/guideline.
Like Rivet mentioned, let the new champ reap the benefits of his hard work. In this instance, I don't think anyone would argue that Barao has deserved the benefits that would come with being a true champ.
Plus, things will always work themselves out if there was a rule. Either the champ comes back and takes his title back, and prove that the dude who had his belt was never the true champ. In which case the original champ never really lost anything.
On the flip side if the new champ beats the original champ, or if the original champ never comes back, or never becomes as good as his former self, the new champ doesn't lose out on anything while waiting.
I just don't really see any serious drawback, besides maybe the original champ having his feelings slightly hurt.
I'm not saying Cruz should be stripped NOW, just that his case is a good example of how things can get out of control if you just try to figure these things out on an ad hoc basis.

Overall, The Judge wants to be insightful and funny and sad, but it instead ends up being clichéd and redundant.
Kurant has crafted a new, cryptic narrative in which the three redundant characters come together in a wrecking yard.
The sheer amount of redundant bureaucracy needs to be eliminated.
1590s, from Latin redundantem (nominative redundans), present participle of redundare, literally "overflow, pour over; be over-full;" figuratively "be in excess," from re- "again" (see re-) + undare "rise in waves," from unda "a wave" (see water (n.1)). Of persons, in employment situations, from 1928, chiefly British. Related: Redundantly.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – [Bonn – 25 May 2012] During these past two weeks at the climate negotiations in Bonn, we witnessed an inadequate response from all Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to address the climate crisis. Somehow lost in the din of over technical discussions in Bonn is the fact that global emissions are still rising rather than falling.
CAN Europe calls on the EU to help increase ambition. CAN has been pushing for more attention on short-term emissions reduction targets. It became obvious during these two weeks that especially the most vulnerable countries have not given up on this kind of increased ambition this year. The EU's presentation at the equity workshop was proactive and positive. It's clear that if the future global climate agreement is not fair and equitable, it also won't be ambitious.
"We see ambition and equity as two sides of the same coin," said Wendel Trio, Director of CAN Europe. "For the EU, this means immediately raising its emissions reduction target at home to at least 30%, which could happen as early as the 11 June meeting of environment ministers. The positive momentum that started building in Bonn won't kick off by itself."
In addition, we need to see movement on climate finance. "The EU says it is committed to delivering climate finance in the coming years, but finance ministers have still not been able to confirm that there will be funds available from next year," said Mattias S?derberg, Senior Advocacy Advisor at DanChurchAid. "This reluctance to make concrete financial commitments is undermining trust among developing countries."
In Durban, European Ministers agreed to a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol. Now they need to make that happen, first and foremost by reaching consensus on how to deal with surplus pollution permits, or AAUs, leftover from the first period. This is something Parties, especially those in Central and Eastern Europe, need to take home to their capitals in order to find a solution before the next Conference of Parties in Doha at the end of this year.
Climate Action Network (CAN)-Europe is a coalition of over 150 citizens' organisations in Europe working to stop the most dangerous effects of climate change. CAN-Europe is the European node of CAN International, a worldwide network of over 750 environmental and development organisations committed to limiting human-induced climate change to ecologically sustainable levels.

Hidden Behind A Mask - Part 9Hidden Behind A Mask - Part 92 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
A day passed, Ethan didn't see or hear from Ryan or the other demon. He had wanted to speak more with Ryan, possibly convince him to help him in his situation. Ryan still intimidated him, but at least he wasn't hostile.
After using the medical kit Ryan had given him to properly bandage his injured foot, Ethan started to regain hope for himself. He had made his way back to town and lingered for a bit, staying hidden in the shadows.
This, however, caused him to be worried again. His story was big news, everywhere he went he heard people talking about a boy who was killed by a demon; or even warped stories such as that a demon had killed and eaten a boy and then killed the entire household.
What scared Ethan the most was that while the majority of the people were scared, many others were angry. Fearing for their own lives, several people had put out a reward of cash for anyone who could bring in the demon, de

Domenico della Rovere
Domenico della Rovere (1442 – 22 April 1501) was an Italian cardinal and patron of arts.
He was born at Vinovo, near Turin, and was a relative of Pope Sixtus IV, and took advantage of the latter's extensive nepotism.
In 1478 he was appointed as Bishop of Tarantaise succeeding his brother, Cristoforo. In the same year, on 10 February, he was created cardinal of San Vitale by Sixtus IV (one year later he exchanged the title with that of San Clemente). Also in 1478 he received the title of bishop of Montefiascone and Corneto, which he kept until his death. In 1482 he was appointed to the diocese of Geneva, which he immediately exchanged with that of Turin, where he arrived in 1483.
After Sixtus' death in 1484, he went to Rome to participate in the papal conclave which elected Pope Innocent VIII. Della Rovere remained in Rome for most of the rest of his life, leaving the diocese of Turin to his collaborators, including in nephew Giovanni Ludovico della Rovere. In Piedmont, he funded the Collegiate church of Saluzzo and the rebuilding of the Turin Cathedral, as well as a new castle in Vinovo to serve as his residence. In Rome, he commissioned Pinturicchio the decoration (including the Semi-Gods Ceiling) of the Palazzo bearing his name, whose construction he had started in 1480, perhaps under design by Baccio Pontelli.
