Local officers swooped down on the Green Tavern, a roadhouse two miles from Glasgow on the Bowling Green Highway, Tuesday afternoon about 6:00 o'clock and confiscated 61 half-pints and 9 pints of whiskey and 8 cases of beer. Marshall Eubank, said to have been operating the place, was arrested. He executed bond for $200 and his trial is set for March 27. Taking part in the raid were Deputy Sheriff Leo Doyle and Rufus Burgess, Chief of Police Guy Bowles, Patrolmen Pate Walkup, Melvin Cravens, Luther Lowe and Jake Eaton. The whiskey and beer were found under the counter in the front part of the building, the officers stated.
Roy D. Reynolds Jr. of Cave City won the county spelling championship for the third time when he downed all comers at the County Contest conducted last Friday at the Plaza Theater. He will represent Barren County at the Courier-Journal Spelling Bee in Louisville next month. He defeated Miss Mary Bridges, Glasgow, and Miss Frances Steen, County School representative. Miss Bridges went down on "sheik" and Miss Steen on "premiere."
A handsome new electric orgatron has been purchased by the Presbyterian Church and will be installed at an early date. The instrument is similar to one now being installed at the Methodist Church, except the Presbyterians are getting the "single manual" instrument, while the Methodist instrument is much larger and is equipped with a "double manual."

C.J. Chivers of the New York Times has an article today on the dangers of Libyan arms winding up on the black market, where they could make their way to terrorist groups. On the surface this might seem to be an argument against arming rebel groups fighting Qaddafi's cruel rule. In actuality, it is the opposite.
The primary danger Chivers warns about is the proliferation of "manpads" — man-portable surface-to-air missiles like the Soviet-made SA-7 that at least one Libyan rebel was seen carrying in a photo. But no one proposes supplying the Libyan rebels with Stingers or the like. Clearly, that would be a very dangerous thing to do, and it would not be necessary if we were to impose a no-fly zone.
If we or our allies do supply any arms to the rebels surely it would be infantry weapons like assault-rifles and machine guns, which are in any case freely available all over their world. Their sale even into the wrong hands probably would not appreciably change the terrorist threat to the U.S. and our allies one way or the other. But if they tip the balance of the fighting in favor of the rebels, such arms could end the civil war faster — and thereby bring closer the day when central authority can be reestablished in Libya.
That is the only way we are going to prevent looting of Libya's weapons stockpiles, which reportedly include chemical weapons. Those are definitely weapons we don't want to fall into the wrong hands. And the best way to avert that outcome is to hasten Qaddafi's long-overdue departure from power.

Emma Stone's Oscars 2012 Dress: Hot or Not?
Emma Stone is becoming known for taking risks with her red carpet fashion, and tonight's Academy Awards was no exception.
The ginger-haired Amazing Spider-Man actress made a bold statement with Louis Vuitton jewelry and a fuchsia Giambattista Valli dress with a giant bow accent on the neck — a look that some are calling a throwback to Nicole Kidman's 2007 Oscar gown by Balenciaga.
Unlike Nicole, Emma wore her hair slicked back in a simple bun, and completed the look with bold liquid eyeliner.
Are you a fan of Emma's red carpet risk, or is that bow just a little too big?

The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal poll shows that, despite the oft-repeated conservative mantra, we are not a center-right nation. To begin with, the poll found a small majority (51 percent of Americans) think the government should be doing more to help people, while only 46 percent believe the government does too many things.
Drilling down into the poll, when it comes to solving issue like our budget deficit, the American people overwhelmingly back progressive solutions over those pushed by conservatives. From First Read:
The most popular: placing a surtax on federal income taxes for those who make more than $1 million per year (81% said that was acceptable), eliminating spending on earmarks (78%), eliminating funding for weapons systems the Defense Department says aren't necessary (76%) and eliminating tax credits for the oil and gas industries (74%). The least popular: cutting funding for Medicaid (32% said that was acceptable), cutting funding for Medicare (23%), cutting funding for K-12 education (22%), and cutting funding for Social Security (22%).
The fifth most popular was phasing out the Bush tax cuts for those making over $250,000 a year (68 percent).
Obviously, people don't like either tax increases or cuts to programs, but when the American people are forced to choose, their preferred solution is progressive tax increases and defense cuts. In addition, they consider the absolute worst option for closing our budget deficit is cutting our country's most successful socialist programs, free public education, public health insurance (Medicare and Medicaid), and public old age assistance (Social Security).
We are a nation where overwhelming majorities support progressive tax increases and demand their socialist programs remain untouched. That isn't "center-right," that is a progressive majority.

Freshman state Sen. Bryan Taylor, an advocate of ethics reform and outspoken opponent of gambling, announced on Monday that he is not running for a second term.
"This was a tremendously difficult decision," said Taylor, a Prattville Republican.
Taylor, joined by his wife Jessica, said they are expecting their third child in May and decided it was best for him to focus on his family, on his work in the private sector, and on his career in the Alabama National Guard.
"We made this decision independently with no concern for politics," Taylor said when asked about opposition in the Republican primary. Fellow Republican Suzelle Josey of Deatsville, a former spokeswoman for Chief Justice Roy Moore, has announced she is running.
The senator, who successfully ran and defeated longtime Democratic state Sen. Wendell Mitchell in 2010, said he will finish the remainder of his term, which ends in November 2014 with the general election.
Taylor, in his one remaining legislative session, said his priority will be a bill he has introduced every year to give a one-time tax credit to small businesses that he said could be used for equipment or employee bonuses. If passed, the measure would allow small businesses to keep a month of sales tax collections.
The senator said he is comfortable stepping away with all the Legislature has accomplished in the last three years including ethics reform in the 2010 special session
Taylor said they have passed all of the measures in his campaign platform, including ethics reform and repealing a legislative pay raise, with the exception of term limits. He encouraged "good people" to run in the upcoming election.
"You don't have to be a career politician to be a successful statesman," he said.
Taylor, who served as policy director and counsel to then-Gov. Bob Riley when he ran in 2010, was the driving force behind Riley's fight against electronic gambling in the state. He has continued the fight unsuccessfully in the Senate, unable to pass legislation that would enhance penalties for possession of gambling devices. Taylor said he talked to Riley about his decision Monday morning and told Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, R-Anniston, about his decision about two weeks ago.
Taylor said he was also proud of redistricting, bringing Autauga County into one Senate district and moving Elmore County from being split between three Senate districts down to two. His successor will run in and serve in the redrawn district.
Taylor, a 37-year-old lawyer, said his family is much like those he represents. He said they are not independently wealthy, both he and Jessica work, they have multiple children, and are working to pay their mortgage and school loans.
Taylor pointed to his very large district that stretches from Brundidge in Pike County north to Billingsley in Autauga County. He said serving as a senator, during legislative sessions and driving through his large district to meet with constituents, left Jessica as the primary caregiver of their two children.
"I feel like now is my time to make it up to her," he said.
Taylor did not rule out a future run, saying that someday the "Lord may call me back."

When Wolfgang mounts the stage at the Irwin Theater of the Ateneo de Manila University on Wednesday, Nov. 28, they will be celebrating "Dos Ekkis (XX)" or 20 years of hounding audiences everywhere with their brand of hard rock.
In looking back, Basti Artadi, Manuel Legarda, Mon Legaspi and Francis Aquino share with Yahoo! OMG! 20 of their best moments as a band:
1. Bassist Mon Legaspi joins the band in 1992.
2. "Summer Rolls," the first song we ever wrote as a band, never made it to any album but it showed we were capable of writing music together as a unit.

3. "Halik ni Hudas" in 1992 was the first song Mon Legaspi wrote for the band in Tagalog and showed all of us that we had another weapon in Mon's caustic words.
4. The first time we ever boarded a plane to play a gig in another part of the country. We thought that day would never happen and one day it did.
5. We could never truly describe the feeling of recording and putting out our first album in 1992.
6. Our first overseas gig.
7. Playing before 36,000 people in Cebu Sinulog.
8. Francis Aquino and Lizza Nakpil join the band in 2008.
Basti Artadi holds the record for the most Vocalist of the Year Awards at the NU Rock Awards (Contributed photo …
9. The first ever live-streaming concert at WhiteSpace in May 2010 and the Metropolitan Theater concert in July 2011.
10. Winning Best Rock Group in Asia in 2010 by Asia Voize, the biggest indie music awards group in the world.
11. Playing the Mosaic Music Fest and Baybeats Festivals in Singapore in 2010 and 2011, respectively, and playing in Dubai Rakrakan and Dubai Tres Kalibre in 2010 and 2012.

12. Winning Artist of the Year at the 1998 NU Rock Awards
13. Going to the U.S. and Japan on tour.
14. The Acoustica concert, played with chorale.
15. Featured by Rolling Stone magazine, Indonesia in 2010.

16. Alive 2007: The Reunion concert started the ball rolling again, after a 6-year hiatus
17. "Villains," our the post-hiatus album, written across three continents, via exchange of digital files in 2008.
18. Joining the biggest national rock tour, The Tanduay First Five: 30 cities in 2011, 25 cities in 2012.
19. A major concert every year.
Mon Legaspi, Basti Artadi, Manuel Legarda, Mike Aquino (Contributed photo by Lizza Nakpil)
20. Releasing our 2012 album in three stages, just like a rocket launch!
Fans and observers also weighed in on why the band has lasted this long.
The Jerks' Chicoy Pura and aspiring rock star Allen Mercado point to Wolfgang's rabid fan base and commitment to their music as reasons for their longevity.
Paul Leobrera, Bleu Rascals vocalist/ guitarist said it's their shard love and respect for the music and for each other. "'Cause without love and appreciation for your band members, di magtatagal ang isang banda," he said.
Aspiring blues guitarist Ray Mogarte said Wolfgang manages to "bridge the taste of the tisoys, the laborers and the masa as well."
For photographer Eddie Boy Escudero, it's the presence of Basti Artadi that has kept the band "hot" throughout the years. "And though the band has gone through personnel changes, they are still one very tight unit that can burn the stage with their music," he added.

Case in point: Cisco 1548 (Off the top of my head, don't remember exactly) 8 port 10/100 UNMANAGED switch. Duplex and speed was required to be forced on xl(4) and fxp(4) series cards (hell, any card) to get a decent throughput. Other end was not configurable, as again, it's not managable. And it isn't wrong. And does not "guarentee you have duplex mismatches." Again, off the top of my head, quite a few of the newer devices just drop items from their capabilities table when they are forced. The problem with some (all? I don't know) Ciscos, IIRC, is that they continously try to negotiate speed and duplex. If the other end (as part of the Auto-negotiation protocol) only reports one, it'll stay with that one. Again, this may be a YMMV thing, but forcing speed/duplex on just one end is sometimes the only thing you can do. It also may be limited to Ciscos. I certainly have no problem with my Hawking and Linksys units in the field not being able to autonegotiate. I think we can put this particular dog to bed. -- Joseph C.

Why did NESA move to an online submission form?
NESA will save about $15,000 annually (and a tree) by foregoing the paper application process. By eliminating scanning and copying costs, postage, storage, and eventual destruction fees, we will be able to award even more scholarships in 2015. Additionally, it normally takes NESA staffers several months just to open tubs of mail, sort paper applications, and manually grade each submission by hand, which now gives our staff valuable new time to attend to other projects that will benefit Eagle Scouts.
Are paper applications available?
No. NESA is moving to an electronic submission process only. Paper copies from previous years are out of date and will not be accepted. If you find an application online, or are given a paper application by your troop or council, please discard it and let your troop or council know that NESA scholarship applications will be received online only. Troops and councils who continue to distribute outdated scholarship applications are jeopardizing their Scouts' chances at receiving one of these awards.
Who will see your application and how much can they see?
NESA staffers will be able to view your entire application. This is necessary so that we can contact the recipients and make an offer.
NESA does not select the scholarship recipients. This is done by volunteer committees based in the region in which you earned the Eagle rank. These committees will not have access to your personal information so that judging will be fair and based solely on the information contained in your application. The system masks all personal information from the judges, including name, address, telephone and email address, troop number, and other information that would identify the individual.
Can you update your application once it's been submitted?
Yes, as long as the application is updated before the December 31, 2014 deadline. Simply log in at https://nesa.academicworks.com using your email and password and update your application. Applicants can add additional sports, academic, or Scouting recognitions received up till December 31, 2014.
How can I know whether my references have responded?
The References tab will indicate whether your reference request is still pending or has been completed by the individual whose name and address you provided on the General Application. If the individual has not replied, you may resend it to the individual or add additional references on the General Application form. You only need one reference letter to apply, but it is acceptable to contact multiple references to ensure that at least one responds before the deadline. If you receive multiple responses, you may select the preferred reference provider, although you will not be able to review the recommendations to select your preferred response.
What if I don't receive a response to my reference request before the deadline?
NESA must receive the application and reference letter by January 15, 2015, in order to forward the applications to the regional selection committees on February 1, 2015. Therefore, it is imperative that the Scout contact references early in the application process to ensure that they have enough time to respond. Applicants should not wait till the very last minute to complete the application as certain portions of the application will take time to complete and may require that applicants secure information from educational entities before they close for the Christmas holidays.
NESA does not grant submission extensions for any reason.
Do you need to submit proof that you are a NESA member to apply?
No. NESA staffers will verify that each recipient is a NESA member using the official NESA database. NESA membership is based on the date and time the membership application is received by NESA, not on the date you receive your membership packet from the national office. There is no need to pay the $40 rush fee to receive your NESA membership by December 31. We simply need to receive your NESA membership application online before 11:59pm, December 31, 2014. NESA memberships can be purchased online at http://www.nesa.org/membership.html.
I see four scholarship opportunities when I click the All tab, but only two when I click Recommended Opportunities. Why don't I qualify for all four?
Every applicant is automatically matched with the merit and academic scholarships when they fill out the General Application. Scholarships in the Recommended Opportunities tab are simply two extra scholarships that you may qualify for if you are interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare arena or a STEM-related field. These are special scholarships that require additional information not requested on the General Application. You will need to complete extra requirements to apply for these two additional scholarships.
What does the reference provider receive when I submit their name and email as a reference?
The reference provider will be sent a system-generated email with a link to a special page on the NESA AcademicWorks website. The page will include two questions: 1) Are you a volunteer or professional Scout leader, and 2) What was your last position held), with space to write an evaluation of your character. Once submitted, the reference cannot be altered. The reference letter MUST be submitted by a former or current volunteer or professional Scouter. The reference provider should be familiar with Scouting and understand what is expected of a Scout.
Am I disqualified if I am deferring my enrollment to college to participate in an LDS mission experience or some other similar activity?
You still need to apply during your graduation cycle and NESA will defer your award until you return.
The applicant will never have access to your reference letter because we need your honest evaluation of this Scout. However, the Scout can monitor your progress and can tell whether you have responded to the reference request. This is important because the Scout must have a reference letter to apply for a scholarship and he may need time to contact another reference if you are unable to reply by December 31, 2014. If you are not a volunteer or professional Scout leader (required of all reference providers), please contact the Scout as soon as possible and explain that you do not qualify as a Scouting reference. The Scout will then need time to locate a qualifying reference provider to complete this portion of the scholarship submission process.
NESA must set a submission deadline each year, and that deadline is 11:59:59pm, December 31, 2014. At midnight, January 1, 2015, the system will be locked. There is no way to update an existing form OR create a new application after that deadline. NESA does not grant extensions for any reason.
Therefore, we ask that you please begin the application process as soon as possible. Schools will be closed over the holidays and it may be difficult for you to contact reference providers and others who must submit required information before you can apply. Additionally, the NESA office hours are 8am to 4:30pm (CST) during weekdays. We are closed on the weekends, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. NESA staffers are glad to answer your questions, but it may be physically impossible to answer every question we receive if too many applicants wait till the very last minute to contact us. This is also a time when we are shorthanded as our staffers take time to celebrate the holidays with their children, families, and friends. Each year we receive over 7,000 applications. That is why we stress that every applicant should read through the entire application, contact NESA with any questions, and begin assembling the needed information well before the deadline.
Please email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Guess where I am…
Currently, I am in my little room in the hostel that I am staying in until Monday when the rest of the class gets here. Now, I know what you think when you read the word "hostel". I thought it had a pretty bad connotation before coming here too. When I think of a hostel, I imagine a sort of halfway house for people who cannot afford a hotel or motel room. In Europe, this is not the case. The Generator Hostels are really awesome locations that are geared toward young international travelers who are looking for a cheap place to stay. We have a bar downstairs, modern rooms, and a tasty breakfast in the morning. I was set up here by Western, since we actually spend our first two days here for the trip. Check it out: http://generatorhostels.com/
There are three other people who decided to come in a little early as well. Their names are Allie, Jon, and Tom. I have come on this trip basically not knowing anyone, hoping to integrate myself into the business college after being in the School of Music. It has been a bit of a challenging transition, because the School of Music is so close knit. Even if you do not spend time with anyone in the program after class, they are in each of your classes. It is a lot like high school. Whereas in some of my larger lecture business courses, I have attended a course all semester without speaking to anyone except my professor and/or graduate assistant. Granted that has been my choice to fly under the radar, but I wanted to start networking in a different environment. Therefore: Germany! Allie, Jon, Tom, and I went around Hamburg today taking pictures and exploring the city. It is beautiful here! I cannot wait to upload all of these pictures with my fancy Nikon onto Facebook!
I'll be sure to keep updates coming from Deutschland as I can do so!
With Bronco Love,

Shea Dietz, one of our youth bloggers for MatthewsPlace.com, is an activist and film maker. Breaking the Silence is his feature-length documentary exploring the issue of LGBT discrimination in schools. The story delves into why discrimination happens, the lack of support and outreach in some environments and the significant impact one voice can have.
Shea leads viewers through a film chronicling his journey from coming out in high school to becoming an award winning activist. He experiences resistance from his parents, peers and most of all his Jesuit Catholic high school, but manages, at the same time, to find individuals who support his vision. With their help, Shea develops the "Gays Upon the Future" campaign which encourages students to take control of their own rights movement.
You can learn more about Breaking the Silence, how you can help, and watch the trailer on the project's Kickstarter page.
With your help we can continue our work to share Matthew's dream of replacing the hate in the world with understanding, compassion, and acceptance.

The Benefit of Hybrid Grilling
The type of grilling you choose isn't necessarily a matter of what's right, it's a matter of taste. If you've got a big grilling party planned, hybrid grills allow you to satisfy everyone all at once. Whether people prefer that charcoal taste, the efficiency of gas grilling, or just want it hot, juicy and fast, a hybrid grill from Sam's Club lets you take care of all your guests, so even a big crowd can all get their food prepared the way they like to eat it.
But even though these grills are great for big backyard gatherings, you don't have to have a big barbecue party to make great use of a combo grill. These grills are so affordable that you should have one whenever you're in the mood for grill cooked meat. Even as individuals we're not always in the mood for food cooked the same way, and with a hybrid grill, you can have it however you want it, even if how you want it changes from one grilling day to the next. So order your hybrid grill from Sam's Club today for great grilling, no matter how you like it, anytime.

Expat Thanksgiving stories
In another thread, someone's question of where to buy Thanksgiving supplies in Paris seemed way too easily answered: a store called "Thanksgiving." I remember the days when being an American abroad at Thanksgiving meant hunkering down with fellow Americans and cobbling together a Thanksgiving meal. Does anyone have any good stories? Plans for this year?

In this issue:
By Erin Hodgson, Department of Entomology
During the last week of May, I heard about a few insect sightings in Iowa. The first was a report by ISU Extension and Outreach Field Agronomist Brian Lang in northeastern Iowa. He saw a soybean aphid on VC soybean in his small research plot near Decorah on May 28. I wasn't surprised, given that part of the state is where we usually first see soybean aphid every year. Winged females deposit a few nymphs per day in May and June. You may need a hand lens to see first instars on small plants (Fig. 1A). Often I confirm early-season colonies in soybean by looking for ants and lady beetles (Fig. 1B).
Figure 1. Soybean aphids start migrating to their summer host in May and June. A) Winged females deposit nymphs on expanding trifoliates. B) Colonies often will be tended by ants and can help with early-season detection while scouting. Photos by Brian McCornack, Kansas State University.
Japanese beetle adults are starting to show up in central Iowa. Kelly Gill, ISU entomology graduate student, saw them destroying rose buds near the library in Ames, Iowa (Fig. 2). We don't typically see adults until mid-June in Iowa, but our mild winter has accelerated insect development. Japanese beetles have also been reported in other states like Illinois. They could be pests in corn and soybean later in the season, but keep an eye on their population densities in June.
Figure 2. Japanese beetles are strongly attracted to roses and other ornamentals. Eventually, they can be pests in corn and soybean. Photo by Erin Hodgson.
Black cutworm is still causing damage in some parts of Iowa. There are reports of significant stand loss due to feeding and clipping in young corn (Fig. 3). Mark Carlton, ISU Extension and Outreach field agronomist, reports some late-planted corn fields are being replanted in southeastern Iowa this week due to stand loss by black cutworm. I recommend scouting for black cutworm until corn reaches V5. Read this ICM News article for more scouting information.
Figure 3. Black cutworm can significantly damage young corn plants. A) Larvae often enter young corn plants above ground by making an entry hole. B) Cutworms curl up when disturbed. Photos by Jon Kiel.
A few other caterpillars are showing up in corn, too. First generation European corn borer eggs and young larvae can be found on corn leaves (Fig. 4). Older, non-traited corn should be scouted now to estimate densities. A dynamic threshold calculator.xls is available here. Tracy Cameron, an agronomist near Creston, also found a few corn earworm caterpillars in young corn. This is a little early to see corn earworm in Iowa, but most insects are showing up 1-2 weeks earlier than normal.

By Greg Tylka, Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology
There continues to be lots of questions about whether plant-parasitic nematodes are causing damage to Iowa's corn crop. This varied group of microscopic worms has some species that cause damage to corn at very low population densities (numbers) and other species that are not harmful until population densities reach many hundred or more per 100 cm3 (a little less than a half cup) of soil.
It is common for several different species of plant-parasitic nematodes to occur in Iowa cornfields at low numbers. But if numbers increase to damaging population densities, symptoms of injury will appear.
Nematode damage symptoms on corn include stunting of plants (Figure 1), yellowing of leaves, and mid-day wilting or leaf curling. Roots may be stunted, fine roots may be lacking (Figure 1), and there may be discrete areas of black, dead tissue, called lesions, on the roots. Also, some nematodes cause roots to swell.
Figure 1. Two young corn plants stunted from nematode feeding (on right) compared to a healthy corn plant (on left). Note stunting of root systems as well as plant tops and also lack of fine roots.
It would be very unusual for symptoms of nematode damage on corn to occur in the first month of the growing season - except in fields with very sandy soil. For fields with medium and fine textured soils, the aboveground symptoms caused by nematode feeding likely will appear more in the middle of the growing season.
Samples should be collected when symptoms of damage are seen. Collect soil and root samples from near plants that are showing obvious symptoms of damage, but avoid sampling near plants that are dead or nearly dead. There is no reason to collect samples from corn that is not showing some symptoms of possible nematode damage.
Up until V6 growth stage of corn: collect soil and root samples.
Figure 2. Young corn plant collected to test for plant-parasitic nematodes in root tissue.
From V6 through R3 (milk) corn growth stage: collect soil samples.
From R4 (dough) corn growth stage to harvest: sampling is not recommended.
There is not a good relationship between crop damage/yield loss and the number of nematodes in soil and roots once the corn crop reaches the R4 growth stage. Therefore, sampling is not recommended after this point in the growing season.
Several private laboratories and most land-grant university plant diagnostic laboratories process samples and determine the identities and numbers of plant-parasitic nematodes present. Here is a list of the university laboratories and their contact information. At Iowa State University, the facility is:
Plant and Insect Diagnostic ClinicRoom 327 Bessey HallIowa State UniversityAmes, IA 50011
Plant and Insect Diagnostic ClinicRoom 327 Bessey HallIowa State UniversityAmes, IA 50011
The test for nematodes that feed on corn from the ISU Plant and Insect Diagnostic Clinic is called the complete nematode count. Samples sent to the ISU Clinic should be accompanied by a completed Plant Nematode Sample Submission Form (referred to on the ISU Extension Online Store as PD 0032) and a check for the $35 per sample processing fee.
If damaging population densities of nematodes are found, there is nothing that can be done to manage the nematodes and lessen the yield loss that will occur in the current growing season. Primary management strategies for future years are use of soil-applied Counter® 20G nematicide and/or seed treatments such as Avicta® and Votivo™.

I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth here but because of my weight loss I had to purchase some new pants (my pants were looking toddler-saggy in the derriere region). Plus, I don't actually own a pair of basic black heels (I tend to go for the bright colours) and I decided this was the year to invest in a pair of good quality, black heels. So I went shopping.
Here's my modest haul: new grey pants. Not exactly cheap, but these are SO comfy I could sleep in them and it seems impossible to wear them out. I don't own many pairs of pants, but they are all this cut & brand. Sometimes I find it makes sense to fork over a bit of extra money for quality pieces instead of buying lots and lots of cheaper clothes. I also found a pair of black heels that are also so comfy I can walk for miles in them.
|New pants!
(But my sweater is from the Superstore and my necklace is DIY).
|New leather shoes!
What does this mean for my blog? To keep our monthly budget in check, I'll be working on some projects that don't require any outlay of moolah. Namely, I'll be finishing up the curtains my mom sewed when she was here (they're behind me in the last photo). I should be doing this anyway so I can show you the fruits of her labour! I've just been distracted because I defend my PhD proposal Monday. If successful, I can actually begin my dissertation. Exciting, clammy-hand-making news.
Happy weekend!

Women's health
Let's face it. Women's health is about more than pelvic exams and having babies. Women's bodies go through much more than that. To help you face any challenges along the way, our experienced practitioners are ready to provide expert care for women of all ages.
Mammograms are probably the most important tool doctors have in detecting, diagnosing and evaluating breast cancer. We recommend that women over the age of 40 get a mammogram every year. At OB-GYN Associates, we offer on-site, state-of-the-art digital mammography. Benefits include:
Urinary incontinence
Research shows that women experience urinary incontinence twice as often as men. Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause and anatomy account for this difference. We have helped thousands of women reclaim their lives by treating incontinence. From simple solutions, such as modifying diets and Kegel exercises, to more complex procedures, you can trust us to help you overcome this health issue and improve the quality of your life. For more information, visit www.beatsui.com.
Bone density
We recommend regular bone density scans for post-menopausal women. Measuring bone density can help predict fracture risk, which helps in diagnosing and treating osteoporosis. OB-GYN Associates provides on-site bone density scans with our dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, or DEXA, technology. Regular scans can play a big role in predicting and managing this disease that can progress painlessly until a bone breaks.

August 2, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew says that he has now begun using all the extraordinary measures at his disposal to avoid hitting the debt ceiling.
In a letter to congressional leaders late Tuesday, Lew said that he started to use the final three bookkeeping tools available to provide borrowing room for paying the nation's bills. Lew said that there are no other "legal and prudent" options for extending the borrowing authority.
Lew said that his assessment of the date he will run out of maneuvering room had not changed from last week. Lew told Congress on Sept. 25 that the extraordinary measures would be exhausted no later than Oct. 17 and at that time the government would have about $30 billion in cash on hand.

We're all Under One Roof
Welcome to the first issue of Under One Roof—a new publication from NHC about our work, a broader look at the many housing policy issues we are engaged on, highlights of some of the best practices of our members across the country and the latest from our research affiliate, the Center for Housing Policy (CHP).
In this first issue I want to tell you a little about my first six months at NHC. As I have been working to formulate a strategic direction for NHC, I have undertaken an extensive listening tour of Board members, funders, members and other stakeholders—one that will continue at least for the rest of the year since there are so many folks across the country I need to engage with in addition to those in Washington. Using this information, in October I laid out the feedback as well as a focused strategy for NHC that I can summarize into three areas:
NHC's legacy events—the Policy Symposium, the Budget Forum and the Gala—will continue to be hugely important for convening the entire sector. But we're tweaking the model a little, following the success of the 2012 Gala which honored organizations that help veterans find affordable housing. Our theme this year is: "Where We Go From Here: A Path Forward for Housing." As part of this event we will host an annual meeting prior to the gala to present the previous and upcoming work of NHC and CHP. The next day our Policy Symposium will feature a panel discussion about the key housing issues in front of us with suggestions for where we should be working together to move housing forward. I hope to announce the 2013 honorees in the next issue. So stay tuned.
Be sure to let us know about your news as well so we can feature it in Under One Roof. I look forward to hearing from you.
The People section...a perfect place for YOU
In this inaugural issue of Under One Roof, we'd like to say one word about what we'd like to see here: you. That's right. In order to keep up with the moves, honors, awards and great work of our members, partners and other housing luminaries, we need you to tell us about it. So go ahead: blow your own horn. Or give a colleague or friend a pat on the back. If you want to share a recent activity, report, honor, move or any other news, or if you know someone in the housing world who deserves a little recognition, send a brief tip to our editor, Blake Warenik, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
NHC welcomes new board members
NHC's membership elected a new Board of Governors and Board of Trustees at its annual meeting on June 21, 2012. Newly elected members of NHC's Executive Committee include NHC Chair John L. Kelly, a partner with Nixon Peabody LLP in the affordable housing group of the firm's real estate department in New York City. Kelly is a former president of the National Housing and Rehabilitation Association and chair of the New York Housing Conference, NHC's affiliate in New York. Kelly said one of his primary goals for NHC will be to ensure more open communication with the entire Board of Governors and Board of Trustees.

Expert trio offers thoughts on housing's course
by Cynthia Adcock
Kent Colton, Gopal Ahluwahlia and Jay Shackford, three ageless veterans of the housing community with more than a century of experience among them, have authored Housing's Lost Decade: Where We Go From Here, a new report that looks at where the market may head now that the housing recovery is starting to take shape.
"Fixing the housing finance system and generating a stronger and broader-based economic expansion that creates millions of new jobs and lifts household incomes are both critical to accelerating today's less-than-robust housing recovery."

NHC members join to grow homeownership in Md.
by Blake Warenik
Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced Jan. 7 a new $4.5 million initiative to build homeownership among low- and moderate-income residents, in a deal partnering NHC members Wells Fargo, Baltimore Housing and NeighborWorks America with Neighborhood Housing Services of Baltimore.
Through the national CityLIFT program, the initiative will provide $15,000 downpayment assistance grants to Baltimore families that meet income requirements and complete a homebuyer education course. In the past year, NeighborWorks and Wells Fargo have provided more than $27 million in grants to homebuyers through the CityLIFT and NeighborhoodLIFT programs. Tuesday marked the first year of the programs.
Rawlings-Blake also noted that the CityLIFT program supports neighborhood stabilization efforts such as Vacants to Value, a Baltimore Housing initiative utilizing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to rehab or demolish vacant housing in the city. Read the full story at BaltimoreHousing.org.
NHC, along with members Enterprise Community Partners and NeighborWorks America, started the National Neighborhood Stabilization and Foreclosure Prevention Task Force in 2007, paving the way for vital programs like these. For more information on how NHC members can join this and other issue-specific task forces and working groups, contact VP for Policy and Advocacy Ethan Handelman at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Homes for Our Troops breaks new ground
by Leah Logan
NHC member organization Homes for Our Troops began construction of a new, specially adapted home for Army Staff Sergeant Wallace Fanene and his family in Temecula, Calif., in January. SSG Fanene was on his second deployment in Sept. 2007 when he lost his right leg above the knee and his right arm below the elbow in an IED blast in Kirkuk, Iraq.
A national nonprofit organization founded in 2004, Homes for Our Troops is committed to helping returning veterans with serious disabilities and injuries and their immediate families by raising donations of money, building materials and professional labor to coordinate the process of building homes that provides maximum freedom of movement and the ability to live more independently. Homes for Our Troops begins with the VA's Specially Adapted Housing Grant and raises the extra funds to ensure adapted homes are given at no cost to the veterans they serve.
NHC honored Homes for Our Troops with a "Shining a Light" visual at the 2012 Annual Housing Person of the Year Gala and Policy Symposium. Our work on the veterans housing issue is detailed by Ethan Handelman below in the Policy Workshop section. For more on SSG Fanene's story, plus video, visit his page at HomesforOurTroops.org.

what we're building
NHC and partners join to serve veterans
by Ethan Handelman
Few issues are as politically unifying as veterans housing. Last year, our Housing Person of the Year Gala and Policy Symposium, themed "Housing America's Heroes," illustrated that clearly. The events also showed how much the housing challenges of veterans—foreclosures, burdensome housing costs, homelessness—mirror the housing challenges of people across America.
NHC recently formed a Veterans Rental Housing Working Group to help address some of these challenges through federal policy. Right now, a small group of practitioners and policy experts is developing some policy proposals to build on the strong existing federal efforts in ways that make it easier to create supportive housing with embedded services, provide a range of rental housing options, and strengthen the interagency partnership between Housing and Urban Development and Veterans Affairs. We plan to share those recommendations soon with NHC members and potential allies.
Our core principle is to generate new federal resources for veterans housing—retargeting scarce existing resources is counterproductive. With a united effort from housing stakeholders and veterans service stakeholders, we can have an impact, even in this difficult budget environment. If you'd like to get involved, please contact me at email@example.com.

Jeffrey Lubell starts blog series for U.S. News & World Report
by Blake Warenik
As a complement to his Moving Forward blog targeted to the housing field, Center for Housing Policy Executive Director Jeffrey Lubell has begun a monthly blog assignment for U.S. News & World Report's The Home Front Blog.
In his first piece from December, Lubell focuses on ways to elevate the issue of affordable housing on the national radar. In his January column, he wrote about new federal policies that will more effectively link housing and transportation policies to help expand housing opportunities for low- and moderate-income households in gentrifying areas near public transit stations.

Everyone loves a good comeback story, and Demi Lovato's recent return from a stint in rehab (where she dealt with "emotional and physical issues") seems poised to make her an even bigger star than she was before she sought treatment. Her new song, "Skyscraper," is fast becoming a Millenial anthem due to its powerful (and, we should note, very timely) theme of remaining resilient in the face of bullying, and earned praise from the likes of Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and fellow Disney product, Selena Gomez.
As is wont to happen these days, dozens of covers of "Skyscraper" are starting to pop up on YouTube, most of which are being sung by teens in their bedrooms into their webcam; one such cover, by YouTube user zeldaxlove64, has already racked up over 1.5 million streams. However, earlier today, a "Skyscraper" cover by none other than a former winner of American Idol hit the popular site. That's right, Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks sat down in front of her webcam, hit record and subsequently published her spin on Lovato's empowerment anthem. It's sort of a sign of the times: Instead of a big recording studio, an army of producers and engineers twiddling the knobs, and an expensive video shoot, it's just a girl with a big voice and a webcam and a YouTube account. (Yes, we're aware that a trio of high-priced songwriters penned the track, but still.) It's hard to argue with the results!

text: Tweet Image Source: Flickr. Last night marked the premier of an awesome new series on Animal Planet, starring none other than Ric O'Barry and his son, Lincoln. Sound familiar? Well, they should. O'Barry was the lead activist in the award-winning film, The Cove, and he and his son are continuing their mission to save the dolphins. The new three-part series, Blood Dolphins, will be following the O'Barrys on their campaign to help the dolphins. Last night's premier was about their return to Taiji (where The Cove was filmed)—right at the start of the dolphin season. However, a covert investigation of the cove suggested that no dolphin slaughter was going to take place, thus giving the team some hope that things were taking a turn for the better. After a few more days of watching and waiting, the team headed on to Tokyo to handle some other related business. Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed when a phone call tipped them off that the dolphin slaughter resumed. Their return back to Taiji was not exactly a welcoming event—at least not by the hunters or police. Needless to say, it didn't end well. The remaining 2 episodes in the series will be focusing on the wild dolphin trade issue in the Solomon Islands. Oh, and Ric O'Barry made one major point of their work extremely clear last night. He basically said that their work is not only about stopping the dolphin slaughters. They want to prevent them from going into captivity, too. You can see all that next week though, when the first episode is on again: Friday, September 3rd at 9 PM (EST). Oh, and if you are unfamiliar with The Cove, just turn on your TV tomorrow night. It will be premiering for the first time on Animal Planet: Sunday, August 29th at 9 PM (EST). SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER Thank you, your sign-up request was successful! Please check your e-mail inbox.

80 Glorious Years of Gloria- by The Fashion Beast Team
For over fifty years, feminist icon Gloria Steinem has been proving that anything men can do, women can do better.
For over fifty years, feminist icon Gloria Steinem has been proving that anything men can do, women can do better.
President Obama awarded Gloria Steinem the country's highest civilian honor, in what the activist icon called 'a medal for the entire women's movement.'
Feminist activist and Ms. magazine co-founder Gloria Steinem was the first woman to speak at the National Press Club in Washington, begrudgingly accepting a necktie—the NPC's traditional souvenir at the time—in 1972. Tongue firmly in cheek, she told the audience she'd be happy to complete the look with a men's jacket to "confirm your worst suspicions."
Steinem, who turns 80 in March, returned to the NPC podium earlier this week to discuss an altogether more satisfying piece of neckwear: the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest honor the U.S. can bestow on a citizen who isn't in the military—which Obama draped around her neck during Wednesday's ceremony at the White House. He praised her for promoting "lasting political and social change in America and abroad and, among other things, for "inspiring us all to take up the cause of reaching for a more just tomorrow."
With Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Sixteen people, including Oprah Winfrey and Gloria Steinem, are set to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom—the highest honor that can be bestowed on a civilian. Steinem, who is still very active with many women's groups, was a leader in the women's-liberation movement of the late 1960s and '70s and cofounded Ms. magazine. The Oprah Winfrey Show was the highest-rated talk show for 25 years, and Winfrey has worked to help advance young women through numerous organizations. Astronaut Sally Ride will also be honored posthumously. Since President John F. Kennedy established the Medal of Freedom 50 years ago, more than 500 people have been honored.

An accident on the afternoon of May 11 left a Mississippi driver dead and a passenger uninjured. The fatality took place on I-10 at the 68-mile marker in Walton County. Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) investigator Cpl. R. Noiseux reported that a vehicle was traveling in the eastbound inside lane of I-10. The driver was Andy J. Cooley, 50, of McLain, MS., and the passenger was Christopher L. McInnis, 21, of Beaumont, MS. The FHP report states that the driver "suffered an unknown medical condition," which caused him to swerve to the left, leaving the roadway and moving onto the paved shoulder, where the vehicle ultimately struck the inside metal guard rail. McInnis reportedly regained control of the vehicle and brought it to a safe rest on the grass shoulder.
Cooley was killed, while McInnis was uninjured. Both were wearing seatbelts. An investigation is pending into whether alcohol may have been a factor.

Today marks one year since Steve Job's death
One year ago today Apple co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs passed away at the age of 56.
Jobs had long been ill, facing pancreatic cancer and its complications for several years. After taking a medical leave of absence from the company in early 2011, he officially resigned his position as CEO in August, naming then COO Tim Cook as his successor. Mr. Jobs remained Chairman of the company's Board until his death several weeks later, Macobserver.com reported.
Always a controversial figure, Mr. Jobs played vital roles in creating and transforming technologies related to computing, communication, music, and animation. On the day of his death, Apple posted the following message on its website, informing the world of the news and honoring the man who helped found the company and would later return to save it.

Cotswold MP explains why he voted against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill
Posted: February 06, 2013|
Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP has explained why he voted against the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill last night.
The Conservative MP for the Cotswolds said one of the reasons he voted against the bill was because his constituents urged him to do so.
He confirmed that only a handful of constituents had written to him supporting the Bill. After the he said: "I fully support same sex couples to participate in civil ceremonies, which give them all of the rights and privileges that married couples have.
"However I believe that marriage, whether it be civil or religious, is different because it is between a husband and a wife mainly with the aim of having children.

"Although I fully respect all of those who hold this view very strongly, Parliament has now voted to allow same sex marriage to proceed and it remains to be seen what unexpected consequences that it will cause."
