|5,000 Third Grade Students to Gather for Anaheim's Gift of History Anaheim Convention Center Arena Site for Program and Gift Distribution
ANAHEIM, CA - (September 25, 2009) - On Tuesday morning, Oct. 6, 5,000 third grade students will converge upon the Anaheim Convention Center Arena, and be treated to the third annual The Gift of History event. Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle will welcome the students to this event where they will learn about the City's 152-year history. Students from six school districts and private schools in Anaheim, were invited to participate in the third annual event.
"The Gift of History is an important event for us, and for every third grade student in Anaheim," said Mayor Pringle. "This event is a collaboration with business and civic leaders who seek to show the next generation the value of their hometown in understanding history and their own future potential as active citizens of Anaheim."
What does 5,000 third-graders look like? Nearly filling the right and left field pavilions at Angel Stadium of Anaheim or the lower level (plaza level) at Honda Center, or twice filling The Grove of Anaheim.
Students will begin arriving at 9 a.m. and immediately line-up to enter the Arena. The program, which begins at 10 a.m., will feature Mayor Pringle, author Gail Eastman, a performance by the Anaheim Ballet, members of the USA Men's National Volleyball Team, and special guests from Disney.
The program concludes at 10:45 a.m., and upon exiting the Arena each child will receive a colorful backpack, compliments of the Office Depot Foundation, filled with fun and educational items. Each backpack will include the book, "Anna's Home by the River" written by Gail Eastman, one free child's ticket for admission to the Napoleon exhibit at Anaheim's Muzeo, school supplies from Anaheim Public Utilities, and a "fireman's hat, compliments of the Anaheim Fire Department.
The donation of backpacks to Anaheim's third grade students is part of the 2 million backpacks that have been provided to non-profit organizations and schools across the U.S. and Canada through the Office Depot Foundation National Backpack Program.
The Gift of History is entirely charitably funded by sponsors, including AT & T, The Disneyland Resort, Office Depot Foundation, Extron Electronics, Brookfield Homes, and the Muzeo.
Volunteers also help to make this event possible. Anyone wishing to volunteer can contact Marisa Campos at 714-765-5192, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Corner: An Update
I posted about the corner of The Building a couple of weeks ago.
I explained that we're going to put the entrance back on the corner, where it was originally.
I showed you the granite column, which has been buried under a covering of brick for decades and decades.
It's not covered any more! Here's a little peek at the progress: We've stripped the brick off the column and have used the old brick to build up the base where the new doorway will go.

Love it! Thanks for the updates.
Deborah On Tuesday, January 21 at 6:56 am
You are certainly a visionary.
Sunshine On Tuesday, January 21 at 7:13 am
So inspiring to see this building come to life! I love to watch how you have tackled this project! Way to go!
MissB On Tuesday, January 21 at 7:37 am
I really like the new entrance. It's kinda hard to tell from the pictures, but I was wondering if the door will be wide enough for wheelchairs or e.g. a twin stroller?
Mary E S On Tuesday, January 21 at 7:54 am
I want to see this building–it is on my "bucket list."
Regina On Tuesday, January 21 at 8:03 am
Very cool! Doesn't make you wonder what was going on in someone's head when they decided to cover up amazing architecture? Zero taste, maybe? Who knows! LOL
Carolyn On Tuesday, January 21 at 8:57 am
Preservation of old buildings is a such a wonderful idea. It will give our kids a glimpse into the past. So many times we think new is better. Maybe in some cases that's true, but to revive the old is so interesting. There is a past to the building and stories as well. I love to antique in Oklahoma. They are selling things of the past in a building of the past. It honestly makes me want to buy more by t setting the mood! So glad you are doing this. It would be worth the drive from Fort Worth just to see it in person!
SD Nancy On Tuesday, January 21 at 9:11 am
Watching the return of the building's glory years is a rare opportunity. Thanks for sharing.
carolyn On Tuesday, January 21 at 9:48 am
Love to look at antiques in Okla. because they sell in the old buildings. It puts me in the mood to buy more. Hope I can come and see the finished product one of these days whatever you decide to put in there. It would be a fun restaurant. Very cozy.
Stephanie On Tuesday, January 21 at 10:00 am
I love what you're doing with this building. Gorgeous!!
Jill Cooper On Tuesday, January 21 at 10:59 am
Very cool! I can't wait to see it finished – it's going to be a beautiful building.
Joyce On Tuesday, January 21 at 11:00 am
Thanks for these updates. It is really cool to watch this restoration/transformation. So many times, beautiful old buildings are just destroyed to make way for parking lots or modern buildings. It is nice to see this happening with your building!
Rachael G On Tuesday, January 21 at 11:16 am
It's looking really good! I love when great old buildings are restored! Bravo to you guys, Ree!
Salange On Tuesday, January 21 at 11:44 am
Ya know, ya just can't beat the old stuff. Some things are just better old; this is going
to be so beautiful! Thanks for sharing:-)

Just beautiful…I love it. If that old Column could talk…..
Kathy Esslinger On Tuesday, January 21 at 12:59 pm
Great photos of the construction/remodeling progress!
All that hard work will pay off . BRAVO!

I love how it is being restored to its old and beautiful self! What a labor of love!

I LOVE the exposed column!!!
SusieQ On Tuesday, January 21 at 6:18 pm
Awesome. This is a great thing you are doing!
When I was watching the new Julia Roberts and Merryl Streep film, I thought of you when they showed Pawhuska in the film. Did you have any sightings when they were filming???

So beautiful! When do I make my reservations for a visit? Grand opening date yet?
Cee On Wednesday, January 22 at 12:17 am
Hi. I just noticed 'Osage' on the old postcard. Recently when I watched 'August Osage County' I thought I saw your building in the bg of one shot. I watched the scene a few times and decided it must be a building a lot like yours but not yours exactly.
bburling On Wednesday, January 22 at 6:30 am
I am fairly new to PW, but am loving all the updates on The Building! I love that you are restoring the building rather than updating and that you like to hear ideas/options. About the horizontal windows, what about leaded glass? Not stained glass, but just leaded. It would be in keeping with the era of the building and would let in light without distorting it. Just a thought… keep up the good work, can't wait to see what happens next!
Billie On Wednesday, January 22 at 7:10 am
Wow, such a beautiful place; I hope all of your dreams come true for the building. Meantime, please keep all of us historical building nuts informed…we love this stuff!
Suzanne C. On Wednesday, January 22 at 8:24 am
It is so wonderful to see a historic building restored to its former glory!! I hope all of your hard work is appreciated by the community. Any thoughts on how you are going to use it?
Donna J. On Wednesday, January 22 at 9:46 am
Restoration is a long journey of discovery, reuse and remake. Enjoy!
Chris McGetrick On Wednesday, January 22 at 9:47 am
I love that granite column. You all are doing an amazing job.
Georjana Mauldin On Wednesday, January 22 at 12:30 pm
In Okla, we have very few places for quilting retreats. Your building and location would be great! There are retreat centers in Texas that would be a good template for you. Scrapbookers and others also use the space. Usually 8 to 12 twin beds, a large place to sew, we can cook our own meals with a small kitchen. Create-away cottage in Collinsville Tx is a nice example. http://Www.create a way cottage.com.
Jan On Wednesday, January 22 at 1:15 pm
The pictures of your building remind me so much of a historical building in the town I grew up in, right down to the corner entrance. It is now once again been restored back to it's glory, and houses a gift shop, wine tasting room, and a boutique/flower shop. The Victor Anderson Building, built in 1903 in Stromsburg, Nebraska.
Lori Seggio On Wednesday, January 22 at 2:31 pm
It's looking fantastic!
Brenda Elenbaas On Wednesday, January 22 at 3:00 pm
I just love that you're restoring that old building. I love history and old stuff!! It makes me excited to see it when it's finished!!
Kathy T On Wednesday, January 22 at 6:34 pm
I so love old buildings…..did I see yours in August:Osage County??
Melissa in Texas On Wednesday, January 22 at 8:10 pm
I'm really enjoying "the building" posts. Love that you put the entrance back at the corner and left that beautiful column. Can't wait for the next update! Keep up the good work, or keep cracking the whip at those workers!! LOL!
fire wife katie On Wednesday, January 22 at 8:26 pm
People will gather on the new corner while they wait for their friends before heading inside. I can see it already!! Love that you're being true to the building's history.
~Bea~ On Wednesday, January 22 at 10:39 pm
This is looking so good! That looks like a great place for a pizza oven or BBQ place….I love it!!
Annie D On Thursday, January 23 at 1:01 am
It's beautiful! So happy to have found your blog
j On Thursday, January 23 at 7:00 am
It sure makes you wonder why someone thought taking that corner entrance away was a good idea….past renovations can be so strange…in our town we had a gorgeous old courthouse completely enclosed in an ugly 70's building…
Mely B. On Thursday, January 23 at 8:15 am
What a cool, awesome, beautiful project! Thanks for letting us follow along!
Ruth On Thursday, January 23 at 8:23 am
That doorway looks way too small for the amount of traffic you are going to have!!
San On Thursday, January 23 at 10:19 am
You have some very, very talented folks working on the building. Cleaning and re-laying all of those old bricks could not have been easy. Kudos to you for preserving the original materials.
Kimberly On Thursday, January 23 at 12:39 pm
Would like to know what you are making this building become? It has been really cool to watch you along the way.
Lpara (Laurie) On Thursday, January 23 at 5:51 pm
So so so cool to see the old pic!!!!!! How super duper exciting for you all!
Kathy On Thursday, January 23 at 6:24 pm
And I would match the window trim color to the color in that column on the corner.
Nikki Dotson On Thursday, January 23 at 7:44 pm
I like the idea of keeping it as original as possible. Keeping older buildings back to the original beauty is something more people should do. Keeping the colors of the window trim similar to what it was in the picture would be what I would like to see. Softer colors were used back then. Just my humble opinion.
Debbie On Thursday, January 23 at 7:51 pm
Match all the windows, down to the clad or black trim
Kathy Sechler On Friday, January 24 at 6:57 am
The progress is really growing and you can really see a dramatic change now from each time you report. The windows I like the idea of keeping the color the same as what is around the metal part of the window. Keep it clean and sleek. What is happening in the kitchen? Thanks for all the birthday pictures, that was really special!!
April On Friday, January 24 at 1:37 pm
beautiful work so far! Love the molding, simple is wonderful and it compliments the concrete as well. Staining I think would be most beautiful, but.. it doesn't weather as well as paint… whatever you guys choose will be great!
sharonalee On Friday, January 24 at 6:42 pm
Judy On Friday, January 24 at 10:16 pm
It's going to be wonderful. Love to see projects like this.
Karmunj On Friday, January 24 at 11:28 pm
Keep it simple and let the corner be your focal point.
Tanya On Saturday, January 25 at 9:06 pm
I love old buildings! I think my grandfather genetically passed down that spirit of "wishing walls could talk". I have a feeling you are all giving this grand old place it's voice again! Lovely choices in renovations!
PamB in Ohio On Sunday, January 26 at 9:23 am
That granite column makes so much more sense now that I've seen the old photo. I kept thinking, "Why would they put a beautiful granite column in the corner and cover it with brick?" Seeing the original entrance they way it once was, now I think it was a crime to encase it in a corner. The entry doors will be magnificent! NOBODY puts granite in the corner……sorry, couldn't resist!
Kathy Littlefield On Sunday, January 26 at 3:34 pm
Love the updates on the building !!! Also love your cookbooks and recipes – thanks for being so awesome! Thanks to you I got to look so clever and teach my doctor daughter to make spring rolls!
Judy Hammack On Sunday, January 26 at 11:36 pm
I love keeping up with this building. I love when buildings like this are returned to the original glory. Can't wait to see what it will be when finished and what use the building will be for! I am really liking all the decisions being made; looking great.
Carol P. On Monday, January 27 at 5:15 pm
I absolutely love that you are restoring a piece of history!!!!! I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece:)
Stephanie Sheehan On Thursday, January 30 at 12:30 pm
Wow! That's an amazing feat! I guess you really are the pioneer woman!
Susan D. On Friday, January 31 at 9:20 am
Looks good, but a couple of points. It looks like your doorway is for a single door and you should put in a double door for better traffic pattern.(Trust me, better to change now than later!) You should start thinking of a mosaic design to put in the entrance. How about the date it was built and the name of the building? Love those old mosaic tile entries!
Lynn On Friday, January 31 at 10:12 am
I am so proud of you all and what you are doing to restore this building to its original beauty! I love seeing the updates!
Jami On Friday, January 31 at 10:35 am
Ree, I am totally hoping this is going to be a Deli/Restaurant/Shopping type of thing. I am so excited…I just know thats it. It's the next step!!
Martha S On Tuesday, February 4 at 9:51 pm
I think it's wonderful that you're updating it to it's original charm. Best wishes and thanks for the progress in pictures. Hope to visit someday when it's completed.
Marla On Saturday, February 8 at 6:14 pm
This is a W"OW!! I love the granite column! This is going to be beautiful!
Carol Dunham On Thursday, February 13 at 9:45 pm
Liviing to a small town myself I love that you are breathing new life and recapturing "the building" to it original beauty. This is easier said than done. Hats off to you. FYI I live in Sapulpa, OK.
Donna Q On Friday, February 14 at 10:25 pm
please leave the mural untouched, it'll add so much to the overall bldg
Vickey Albert On Thursday, February 27 at 8:36 am
My husband & I purchased an old building on the corner of the town square in Gallatin Tennessee a number of years ago. We used a part of the upstairs as our insurance offices. Downstairs was a furniture store. We did eventually sell & I miss the feeling of knowing there was so much history around us & wondering who & what went on in that building. I loved the high ceilings, the massive tall slender windows overlooking the square. Glad to know the town has made a big effort to keep the square alive and promote renovating & new business. You can't change the past. I love what you & your husband are doing. The past will continue with us to the future with the efforts of people like you. Thanks!!

Funds to help Coin Harvey House
HUNTINGTON -- The foundation set up to help restore the Coin Harvey House in Huntington has received a grant from the State Historic Preservation Office worth $19,960.
It was one of 19 development-grant requests funded to help restore and rehabilitate sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Coin Harvey House, at 1305 3rd Ave., was placed on that list in 1971, nearly 100 years after Coin Harvey built the home that was ahead of its time in terms of architectural design.
But the grant, which must be matched by the J & Lenore Kaiser and David E. Gerlock Foundation, is only a drop in the bucket, confirmed James St. Clair, a retired Huntington attorney who has been working to save the house since 2003.
Some additional funds have to be raised to match the state grant, which combined will help refurbish the east wall to keep it from deteriorating. St. Clair said asbestos removal already has been completed on the structure, which was built in 1874. That clears the way to tear down the back part of the house, apartments that were added a few decades ago.
He said Friday that he knows saving the house is a daunting and expensive task. But it was he and his wife, Mickey, who helped rescue Heritage Station from demolition more than a decade ago when even the Urban Renewal Authority thought it best to demolish and start anew. Now, he said, it's one of the most popular downtown destinations.
"I think (Heritage Station) was worth the effort, and the Coin Harvey House is probably one of the oldest houses in that part of Hutntington," St. Clair said. "Coin Harvey was an exceptional character, and the house is one of a kind."
William Hope Harvey, who was born in Buffalo in Putnam County, W.Va., became an attorney and moved to Huntington to practice with his older brother. In 1874, he build the uniquely designed house, but moved the following year to Gallipolis, Ohio, where he met and married Anna Halliday. He eventually moved to Colorado and became interested in silver mining, which led to him writing "Coin's Financial School," a pamphlet that sold more than a million copies. It purported to be an account of a school where Professor Coin explains the superiority of silver coinage, as opposed to gold. Harvey gave his little paperback such an air of authenticity that many readers were convinced the school and Professor Coin were real. It also earned him his nickname.
For more information on the Coin Harvey House, the namesake and how to help the foundation, visit www.coinharvey.com or call Huntington Realty Corporation at 304-525-5910.
About the Coin Harvey House
The first floor, about three feet below ground level, housed the original dining room and kitchen, along with a library or study. The second floor, roughly eight feet above ground level, had a parlor, a bedroom and a long hallway along the west side, with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto the balcony.
The construction of the house was every bit as unusual as its design. Instead of a typical wood frame, the house was built much like a log cabin, but with thick stacks of wood planks substituting for the logs. The planks are fastened together with long spikes.
In addition to the facade's curvatures at the base of the roof and the stained-glass windows still adorning the front porch, there also evidence on the west side that also was encased by wrought-iron fencing.

All About Sleep
How do you get kids to bed through the cries, screams, avoidance tactics, and pleas? What if you're awakened in the middle of the night? And how much sleep do kids need?
Nightmares aren't totally preventable, but parents can help kids feel better when they have one and ease their transition back to sleep.
Although it can be unnerving to see, sleepwalking is actually very common in kids. Here's how to keep your young sleepwalker safe.
Sleep and Your Preschooler
Preschoolers sleep about 10 to 12 hours during each 24-hour period, and it's important to help them develop good habits for getting to sleep.
Bedtime Basics
A good night's sleep is important for all kids. But what do you do if your child doesn't fall asleep easily? Find tips on getting your child tucked into bed - and what to do if he or she doesn't want to stay there.
A good nap can keep kids from becoming overtired, a state that not only takes a toll on their moods but might make it harder for them to fall asleep at night.
Should My Daughter Sleep in My Room After Having a Nightmare?
Find out what the experts have to say.
Positional Plagiocephaly (Flattened Head)
Some babies develop a persistent flat spot on the back of the head, a sign of positional plagiocephaly, a treatable condition usually caused by babies sleeping in the same position repeatedly.
Sleep and Your 8- to 12-Month-Old
Certain sleep problems may crop up as your child approaches the first birthday, often due to his or her increased awareness of "separateness" from you.
Sleep and Your 1- to 3-Month-Old
Is your baby sleeping through the night yet? This is the age when most infants are able to sleep through the night - even if that means only 5 hours!
Sleep and Your 4- to 7-Month-Old
By this age, your baby should be on the way toward an established sleep pattern, including several naps a day and at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep at night.
Sleep and Newborns
"Does your baby sleep through the night?" is one of the questions new parents hear the most. And almost always the answer is "No."
Sleep and Your 1- to 2-Year-Old
Is your toddler resisting going to bed at night or taking a nap during the day? Learn how to help your child fall asleep.
Night Terrors
A night terror is a sleep disruption that seems similar to a nightmare, but it's far more dramatic. Night terrors can be alarming, but aren't usually cause for concern or a sign of a medical issue.
Sleep Problems in Teens
Does your teenager have a hard time falling asleep at night or waking up in the morning? Is he or she sleepy during the day? Find out if this behavior is just a normal part of adolescence, or if something else is to blame.

Raul A. Bernal
The former Miss Universe and current ambassador of the United Nations Justine Pasek is part of the staff in charge of marketing the Red Frog Beach project, that is being constructed on Bastimentos Island in Bocas del Toro, for international investors.
The complex, that combines Panamanian and U.S. capital with a non divulged investment shall be exclusive for retirees and foreign tourists. The project is promoted by Pillar Panama enterprise, creator of the Red Frog Foundation to commercialize the urban complex.
Red Frog generated 200 jobs on its first phase, where a hotel of 500 villas and 500 condominiums is being constructed. The villas price oscillates between 194 thousand and 537 thousand dollars and the condominiums start from 260 thousand dollars.
"To bring groups of clients and promoters every month from different points of North America, to organize seminars at highest level in the real estate environ of the United States markets is giving good results", said Pasek.
"Justine is one of the advantages that Panama has, as well as the security, a stable Government, internet facilities, cellular telephony, the dollar, and virgin sites facing the sea such as Bastimentos Island," said Scott Harris, the project's marketing executive director.

They just don't understand
They just don't listen long enough to get it
They can't seem to open their minds.
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Feeling that they're not listening
Feeling so annoyed inside.
Angered when they don't wait and listen
Angered when they don't hear it all
Angered because they don't understand.
Wanting to hurt everything in sight
Taking out all of my anger
On all those that will pass my way.
If only they understood
If only they'd wait and listen
If only they'd hear it all.

Also, he was wrong to end up selling Robinho so late. They did not manage to find a replacement for him, before the transfer window closed. So he is forced to get into the market for a striker in January!
Real does not need the return of the Galaticos. But they need the return of ethics! And get rid of Raul. He is old and just ruin their style of football!]]>
For me Real now has the best team in last few years, and they do not need Kaka or Cristiano Ronaldo. They should buy 1 or 2 players during the winter, but not any of lets say top 10 stars in the world.]]>
But Calderon is way better than Perez.. Perez should never get back to Real!]]>
I believe it is time that things change at the Bernabeu]]>
Florentino Perez is set to make a bid to return as president at Real Madrid.
What do you think about it? Should Perez return to football or is Real better off with Calderon?
Did Calderon's battle to sign Ronaldo ruin his chances of getting re-elected as Real president?

Behind the Scenes
Too Many Babies: No Such Thing
You'll be hearing from the staff babies at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks Babies, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more children are adorable all the time.
We really wanted to share our photos with you this week, but Charlie (Peter Steinberg's son) and Clara (Merrill's daughter) unequivocally stole the show. Peter, who is something of a baby whisperer, was able to divine the secret drama unfolding between the babies as they played together.
Secret drama, you ask? Well, read on...

Last night, there was a buzz in the lobby of Sotheby's New York. Clients lucky enough to have a ticket to the Contemporary Art Evening Auction swished up the escalator in varying forms of black, blonde blow-outs or just wind-swept hair. Their jackets and overcoats subtly glistened with leather trims or touches of sequins on collars, at necks or on shoes. And those who wanted extra notice held white paddles with bold black numbers alongside clutches or draped scarves.
Christie's had sold $691.6 million of contemporary art in New York the evening before. "It's amazing how much money there is out there to spend on art," said a senior Sotheby's vice president.
The room filled up; Gagosian's people were in row M, and the super important folks had sky-booths.
Just before lot 16 was about to go up for sale, someone from the audience remarked, "I'll be surprised if this breaks 100 million." And just as fast as those words were uttered, the bidding accelerated for Andy Warhol's "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)."
The 1963, 13-foot-wide, two-panel silkscreen and silver spray work sold for a record-breaking $105.4 million. That's just about $100,000 off the highest price ever paid for a Picasso, "Nude, Green Leaves and Bust," at $106.5 million.
The work is one of a group of four "double disaster" canvases, and the only one in private hands. The left panel shows 13 silk-screened images of a car crash, the right side is a stretch of silver and approximates "the while light you see when death approaches," auctioneer Tobias Martin told Art in America.
The relative deal of the evening was another Warhol. In the fall of 1963, (after "Silver Car Crash…") Warhol created "Liz#1 (Early Colored Liz)," an acrylic silkscreen ink on canvas. Martin accepted the final bid, "at only $18 million." Estimated to sell between $20 and $30 million, someone in the audience connected to the sale knew the hammer price was good and could be heard asking the question, "Are you happy?" Another Warhol piece, "The Statue of Liberty" sold for $2.7 million (before the buyer's premium). The lady-to-lady sale, the buyer was a woman, seemed only fitting.
The evening did not go off without its share of controversy. Several important works of art from the Dia Art Foundation had just been cleared to go under the hammer. A lawsuit, filed by two Dia founders to block the sale, was dropped just days prior. The foundation opted to sell works to establish a fund for acquisitions and now will have about $38.4 million towards that end thanks to the Sotheby's sale. The work "Poems to the Sea," by Cy Twombly led the Dia works for sale, fetching an unexpected $21.6 million, far over the $6 to $8 million estimate. The painted steel-plated 1963 sculpture "Candy Andy" by John Chamberlain inspired a bidding war and sold for $4.6 million, almost a 50% above its $2 to $3 million estimate.
Hedge fund manager Steve Cohen put some of his collection up for sale last night too. The Forbes 400 Billionaire reportedly put works by Twombly, Warhol, Gerhard Richter, Brice Marden and Joan Mitchell on the block.
The evening sale totaled $380,642,000. The Warhol sale broke a new world auction record for the artist and represented the second highest amount for a contemporary work sold at auction–pretty amazing for a work in black and white.

I agree with the idea for a weekly "I'm in" column. You could highlight opportunities for people to pitch in--like the people who were meeting weekly at the river to clean up. The young people do need mentoring as well, and some people who might be willing to help don't know where to look. Baby steps, people!
Oh, the scents of summer: Sun block by day; insect repellant by night!
Unfortunately, I know a few lawyers like this. They have no respect for women and sexually harass their secretaries. The girls don't file charges because they need the job, or maybe, they don't have the self-respect to tell the lawyers to stop. I am sure that this happens in all professions, but it is particularly disgusting in a field that is supposed to defend the law!
Seriously, small objects should be kept out of the reach of small children -- duh.
I am concerned that the continued damage to sea life is a consequence of the oil spill. I know that veterinary endocrinologists who investigated the effects of the spill indicated that there were problems with the environment -- it was basically sterile. It was predicted that this would result in reductions in the life on the food chain, and it appears that their predictions are manifesting. How sad!
I agree with traffic. Does this make ANY sense? Once again, I must remind you that the term "sex offenders" has a broad definition. Acts such as Voyeurism or lewd exposure count as a tier 1 sexual offense. So, if you were charged with "mooning" someone, you are a "sex offender". Denying these people access to public libraries is a little more harsh than denying them access to schools and playgrounds. And, how would this law be enforced? Would a background search be required to enter the library?
As far as financial incentives for being married, have you ever heard of "the marriage penalty"? This may occur when two members of a married couple both work. According to TPC Tax Topics, "Recent estimates suggest that the percentage of married couples incurring a marriage tax has risen fairly steadily since the Tax Reform Act of 1969. According to Alm and Whittington (1996), about 57 percent of married couples in the United States now pay a marriage penalty, almost 30 percent receive a marriage subsidy, and the remainder experience no change in tax liability as a result of marital status. They also estimate an average marriage penalty that generally ranges from about $100 to almost $400, but this average masks large variations across the population."
Therefore, there may actually be a financial DIS-incentive to getting married, yet these couples still wish to do it. Most just want their unions to be legitimized so that they can make decisions for their partners in the event that the partner is unable to make decisions for themselves. HEalth insurance for civil union partners has already been made available in many states. I believe that the desire to be "married" is purely an emotional tie to the name. Why not help these couples to feel that they are accepted and respected just like other couples who are in a committed relationship? After all, even Brad and Angie are getting married!
Umm, does anybody else think that this is late notice for such a problem? I mean, what a confidence-inspiring quote by Ms. Hayes , ""We don't actually think anyone got anything bad in their water," she said. I hope that the "1-800 lawyers" didn't see this. They'll be calling everyone in Covington looking for cases of enteritis!
Milwriter, your parents were trying to teach you responsibility. I applaud them. If you had taken out loans or grants, then you would be starting off your career in debt, as opposed to the men and women who use the GI bill. The nation has become addicted to credit and loans and we cannot continue this way. Most college students have no idea what impact the interest rates will have on their future -- they just see it as a way to get what they want now and pay later. We have got to teach our children to be fiscally responsible! We cannot afford to take this money from Medicare or from the Health Prevention programs. I think the interest rates should be allowed to increase, because it is still a much better rate than you could get on any other loan. If you are going to college to become a contributing member of society, then you should contribute!
This is exactly what we need-- adults showing a positive interest in kids. Please volunteer your time if you can!
First, I agree with 4dingo, Nuff said.
Second, The article says that the girl was not accounted for after homeroom. This clearly indicates that someone wasn't doing their job! Role is supposed to be taken at each period, nest-ce pas? Taking role might not have prevented her death, but if there is a "watch list", it should have rung some bells that she was missing.
What a tragedy that any child should die!
Well, PK, You just LOVE to argue and call names, don't you? Why not act like the gentleman you claim to be? Here are sites that prove voter fraud exists :http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Vote_fraud_in_Tennessee
and http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Dead_people_voting. These two sites resulting from a simple web search. Does that satisfy you that voter fraud exists? How many cites do we have to give you? At least you are making your own arguments now instead of deferring to others to do it for you.
One thing I know about lawyers (and lawyer-wanna-bes) is that they believe that "there is the truth, and what I can prove in court". My point is that you can find support for any position that you take. While these discussions have been most stimulating, from a legal standpoint, I request that the law-school arguments be left in the classroom. We all know that voter fraud exists, and that the relocation of voting sites may have caused some confusion. I doubt that it was actually a conspiracy to prevent those of lower socioeconomic status from voting. I feel that this horse has been beaten to death. This is a public forum, and the only judge here is your own moral code.
This is another reason to support the efforts of Planned Parenthood. They provide contraceptive education to women who may not otherwise have access to such care. It is a fact that women can get medical care once they get pregnant, and this may be another incentive for early pregnancies in women of low socioeconomic status. The problem is that pregnancies in women at young ages are more likely to end in pre-term births. We need to support programs in America that encourage good prenatal care, but also those that prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place.
Well, I actually live in an area where voter fraud is quite common, and the voters have no trouble getting to the polls. The political machine will go pick them up and bring them to the polls if they do not have a ride -- rain or shine. I think TEA-Slayer is a little aggressive in her comments and that she gives herself away as someone who is trying to impress others with her ability to search the legal software -- so your employer has West Law, huh?
Well, he might have seen the way the wind was blowing a little sooner. It probably is best that he withdrew, since his ability to identify trends is "not so good". Nonetheless, the Republicans are still stuck with a candidate who has little or no chance of winning. I can't blame him for holding on to his hopes.
Let me guess -- another sickly sweet romantic comedy where they fall in love and break-up and decide they can't live without each other in the end. (gag)
I'm still rooting for the New Orleans "I bet I know where you got dem shoes."
Seriously? I think there are better things the lawmakers could be worrying about. Euthanasia occurs in hospice programs and hospitals on a regular basis. People should have the right to die comfortably and to be able to decide when they have had enough "intervention". Politicians should find some other soap box to stand on.
This sounds amazing! I need to see it.

Moran Throws Complete Game as Bearcats Pound Boxers, 12-2
FOREST GROVE, ORE. -- Senior left-handed pitcher Clint Moran (Mission Viejo, CA/Capistrano Valley HS) threw a complete game and the Willamette University offense collected 13 hits, as the Bearcats defeated Pacific University, 12-2, in a Northwest Conference game on Saturday, April 26 at Chuck Bafaro Stadium. Willamette evened its overall record at 19-19, while moving above the .500 mark in conference play at 15-14 with two games remaining. Pacific fell to 19-19 overall, 16-14 in the NWC.
Moran, now 6-3 on the season, struck out six batters and allowed just six hits. He limited the Boxers to just six hits until the final three innings. Pacific recorded one run on an error and one hit in the seventh, before plating one run on two hits in the eighth.
For Willamette on offense, shortstop Doug Bloom (Fr., Salem, OR/South Salem HS) was 3 for 4 with three runs, an RBI and two walks. Kyle Stalker (Jr., 1B, Bellevue, WA/Sammamish HS) was 3 for 6, drove in Willamette's first three runs and scored the Bearcats' fourth run. He also registered two doubles, while T.C. Lee (Fr., LF, Lafayette, CA/Acalanes HS) and Ellis Webster (Jr., 2B, Carlsbad, CA/San Dieguito HS) pounded out a double apiece.
Sean Anderson (Sr., DH/CF, Klamath Falls, OR/Klamath Union HS) of Willamette was 2 for 5 with a run scored. Colin Young (Sr., RF, Portland, OR/Lincoln HS) went 2 for 6, scored twice and chipped in two RBIs. Webster and Dan Maslanik (Jr., C, Boulder, CO/Fairview HS) each crossed the plate once and drove in two runs.
Neither team scored until the top of the third inning, when Willamette took a 2-0 lead. Webster reached base when his bunt was misplayed to open the inning. One out later, Bloom hit a single that glanced off the edge of Andrew Curtin's glove at second base. Both runners scored on Stalker's first double of the game.
WU pushed across three runs in the fifth inning. Bloom singled up the middle and scored from first base when Stalker sent a double down the right field line. Stalker crossed the plate with two outs on a single by Young. After Jack McGee (Jr., 3B/RHP, Hillsborough, CA/St. Ignatius HS) was hit by a pitch, Maslanik followed with an RBI single to center field.
Five runs in the sixth inning extended Willamette's lead to 10-0. Lee brought in the first run with a double to left center. Young drove in the next run with a single, and the third run score when Maslanik walked with the bases loaded. Webster completed the big inning by smacking a two-RBI double to right center.
The 'Cats scored their final runs in the eighth inning. Jordan Roberts (Sr., CF, Portland, OR/Grant HS) earned an RBI when he was hit by a pitch with runners on all three bases. Bloom batted next and walked to force in the 12th run.
Pacific received a 2-for-4 performance at the plate from shortstop Brandon Kon. He singled in the seventh inning and eighth inning to drive in both of Pacific's runs. Jeff Johnston provided the Boxers with their only extra-base hit, a double to lead off the first inning.
Sean Dickey, who started on the mound for the Boxers, fell to 5-3 with the loss. He gave up 10 runs (8 earned) and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings. He also struck out four batters and allowed three walks.
The teams will play two more games at Pacific on Sunday, April 27. First pitch in the doubleheader is set for 11:30 a.m. (PDT).

Markets jump on hopes for European actionBy JACK EWING
The New York Times | April 24,2013The beleaguered eurozone remains stuck in recession, according to data published Tuesday, but stock and bond markets rallied because the news raised expectations that the European Central Bank would cut interest rates as early as next week.
A closely watched survey of business managers showed that the eurozone economy was still declining and that the German economy could take longer than expected to emerge from recession.
Germany has served as the main counterweight to economic malaise elsewhere in the eurozone, and a continued slowdown there could delay a recovery on the entire Continent.
Still, markets cheered the pessimistic outlook because of expectations it will prompt the European Central Bank to take action when it meets next week. On Tuesday, the Hungarian Central Bank brought its rates down a notch, to 4.75 percent.
The French stock market index ended with a gain of 3.6 percent, while the interest rate on its 10-year sovereign bond hit a record low of 1.706 percent. Other major European stock indexes also recorded sharp gains while bond yields fell.
U.S. stocks were up about 1 percent in afternoon trading, and the 10-year Treasury bond yield touched 1.645 percent, the lowest intraday level since Dec. 12. Separately, the Dow Jones industrial average skidded more than 150 points briefly before recovering after the Twitter account of The Associated Press was hacked and a fake tweet about an attack on the White House was posted.
Outside trading rooms, though, the data was not likely to inspire joy. In Germany, for example, prolonged recession could present a problem for Chancellor Angela Merkel as her party campaigns to remain in power in elections this autumn.
The Flash Germany Composite Output index, issued by Markit, a research firm, fell to 48.8 points in April from 50.6 in March, a six-month low. A reading less than 50 is considered a sign that the economy is likely to contract.
For the eurozone as a whole, the corresponding index was unchanged at 46.5, confirming that the region remained in a rut.
In addition, economic activity in Spain declined 0.5 percent in the first three months of 2013, the Bank of Spain said Tuesday, suggesting that one of the eurozones most troubled economies was unlikely to start growing again until next year.
In France, the Markit output index rose to 44.2 in April from 41.9 in March, indicating that the pace of decline was slowing in the eurozones largest economy after Germanys. But that tidbit of good news was clouded by a drop in the separate INSEE indicator of French business climate.
Analysts said the decline in optimism among German managers might be the result of a slowdown in the pace of growth in China, which in recent years has become one of the most important markets for German products like automobiles and machinery.
Even if Germany is merely treading water, that is still bad news for the rest of the eurozone. The German economy has played a crucial role in compensating for the swath of economic woe that runs from Cyprus to Ireland by way of Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The German economy may not be as strong as we thought, Marie Diron, a senior economic adviser to the consulting firm Ernst & Young, said by email.
Members of the governing council of the European Central Bank have hinted recently that an interest-rate cut could be nigh. Mario Draghi, the ECB president, said earlier this month that policymakers were ready to act.
The new data raised expectations that a cut in the benchmark interest rate, already at a record low of 0.75 percent, could come when the central bank meets May 2.
It is also possible that the ECB could look for other ways to ease a credit crunch in countries like Italy and Spain. Draghi has often complained that low official interest rates have not benefited companies in the troubled countries because banks remain too reluctant to lend.
It is no longer a matter of if but when the ECB will be cutting rates, analysts at Nomura said in a note to clients Tuesday.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON U.S. Full StoryGroup recognizes Full StoryNEW YORK Stocks ended the day mostly flat on Thursday, recovering from broad losses earlier in...

Looking for Christian drummer - mid Michigan USA
I'm a bassist and belong to a big bass forum...been frustrated looking for a drummer so I thought this might work...
Christian rock band Nails of Grace is looking for a drummer to become part of an outside of church outreach music ministry. This ministry will include festivals, secular gigs, as well as benefits and other events to be considered.
This is not playing standard Christian contemporary
- the people we are trying to reach wouldn't react very well to that.This is using real rock-n-roll with positive message (and yes, we use the name of God) to reach those who would hold HIM at a distance. 80% originals. Great practice space, PA,etc. For more information, contact Jeremy at nailsofgrace@ gmail.com (pull out that space before gmail )
Check us out at "Nails of Grace" on Reverbnation - just put "Reverbnation Nails of Grace in Google - bamm, you're there..

What Do I Do If I Swallow a Fish Bone?
What to Do If You Swallow a Fish Bone
Like us on Facebook
When a fish bone gets lodged in your passageways, the best remedy, I've found, is a small chunk of bread — it surrounds the bone, helping to move it down. Of course, if you have serious, persistent pain, seek medical help. You don't, after all, want to wind to wake up weeks later, like a Taiwanese woman did, with a pointed object piercing the side of your neck!

@bengalspice: heh, my Bangladesh roommate just told me like last week that his family used to make him do this when he got a fish bone stuck in his throat.

LOL chiefdishwash!!! I think that's exactly the sound you make when you have a bone stuck in your throat.

yea... this is why I stopped eating fish years ago. I know I am missing out on some major nutrition but the scales, bones, and smell is enough to never want me to glance twice at a fish dish.

That fish looks so good. I'm used to eating fish with bones so I don't have those kind of mishaps.

My grandfather always kept some vinegar on the table when he made fish. One quick swig and the vinegar dissolves the bone, but I don't think I could handle drinking straight vinegar. :P

this is why I'm so particular about what I eat. I never eat popcorn, and I only eat certain types of fish.

Rice and bread definitely work. You just need to form either of them into a small ball and they get rid of any stuck bones.

This happened to me when I was a kid and my mom tried rice and bread to dislodge it but it didn't work. So she gave me some of my brother's leftover birthday cake...I must have eaten 1/3 of the cake before the bone moved. My brother was SOOOOO pissed that I ate his cake! And it was delicious!! Hehehe

you could avoid the problem by not eating fish :) but if you have to, try chewing your food lol

I tend to eat a lot of fish [like the rest of my family ... I guess it's a Bangladeshi thing], and my mom always insists on eating loads of plain white rice to get the bone unstuck. It's probably because cooked white rice is readily available in our house. :-P

How we are working to achieve this vision
Residents Should Be Ready in the Event of Outages
SEATTLE — A winter storm developing off the West Coast is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Seattle area Tuesday and Wednesday, which could lead to some scattered power outages.
Seattle City Light is monitoring the storm and preparing crews for the possibility of outages. The utility also encourages its customers to be prepared. In the event of a large-scale outage or a natural disaster, residents should be ready to fend for themselves for at least three days.
One of the best preparation steps is to assemble an emergency kit with at least three days of food and water for each person in the family and any family pets. Other items to include are a hand-crank or battery-operated flashlight and radio, fresh batteries, a survival blanket, a first aid kit, pocket tissues and hand sanitizer wipes. For a complete list of what to include in an emergency kit, please visit www.govlink.org/3days3ways.
Winds in the approaching storm are expected to reach sustained levels of 30 mph with gusts of up to 45 mph in the Seattle area. At those levels, the storm could cause damage to Seattle City Light's system. Utility officials continue to track the storm so they can bring in additional resources as needed.

By enzian | Enzian Theater November 11, 2010 at 2:23AM
It may have taken a while, but at long last the 2010 restoration of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS--the most influential of all silent films--will get a theatrical showing in Central Florida this Saturday, November 13, 11:30 AM at Enzian. This astounding new version of Lang's visionary sci-fi masterpiece includes 25 minutes of newly discovered , digitally restored footage. By some miracle, a near-complete cut of the original film was found in Buenos Aires in 2008. The subsequent reconstruction of the film represents both one of the most significant film restoration projects in cinema history and perhaps the cinematic event of the year. You don't want to miss this one chance to see METROPOLIS on the big screen in the most complete version since its Berlin premiere in 1927!
As A.O. Scott wrote in The New York Times..."A masterpiece of visionary silent cinema...one of the strangest, most fascinating films ever made, a futuristic nightmare that is both sublime in its grandeur and remarkably intimate in its emotions. Just about every science-fiction movie you can think of pays tribute to its influence, but to date none has matched its strangeness or its prophetic power."

Beyonce on Feminism, Beauty & Killing off "Sasha Fierce"
Judging by the attention Beyonce's latest ad for House of Dereon has been receiving, the chick is still killing the game….even on her break. The UK's Daily Mirror interviewed the superstar just before she took her hiatus from music and she discussed her future plans as well as the biggest challenge in her life. She also reveals that she believes female friends are very important and she would love to have kids one day. Check out a few excepts.
On Beauty
'I think a beautiful woman is someone who is confident but not competitive with other women – someone who is warm to everyone. Because my mother told me ever since I can remember that beauty is from within, that looks will fade, I have always been aware that you have to have something deeper to be really beautiful.
On Why She Doesn't Need Sasha Fierce
I don't need Sasha so much any more because these days I know who I am. It takes time to figure out who you are and I am still discovering different things about myself – as I am exposed to different experiences I think, "Oh, I like this, I didn't know I liked this." That's the journey of life that is so exciting. More and more I know who I am, I know what I like, I know what I want and that makes me feel so free. I don't need to hide any more.
On Being A Feminist
I think I am a feminist in a way. It's not something I consciously decided I was going to be; perhaps it's because I grew up in a singing group with other women, and that was so helpful to me. It kept me out of so much trouble and out of bad relationships. My friendships with my girls are just so much a part of me that there are things I am never going to do that would upset that bond. I never want to betray that friendship because I love being a woman and I love being a friend to other women.
'I think we learn a lot from our female friends – female friendship is very, very important. It's good to support each other and I do try to put that message in my music,
On her biggest challenge
Probably the biggest challenge in my life is time – making sure I have time to be a wife, to be a singer, to be a songwriter, to be an actor and still have time for my clothing line and now for my perfume. I am like any other woman who has a child, who has a husband, who has a job. I think it's the hardest thing about being a woman because we have so many responsibilities.

Meanwhile it's funny that people are under the impression that Beyonce doesn't have any female friends..

that you are my Special Friend because
I know I can always rely and depend

Take Care Of You Too.

Back in May, I had the opportunity to work as the makeup artist on an amazing project. Joni Kabana, an award-winning visual artist and photojournalist, and the woman behind the camera on our Naturally Gorgeous model shoots, was going to be shooting a calendar for a local yoga studio, and needed makeup for the models. Being familiar with my work, and the way that Alima Pure photographs, Joni asked if I would come and help out. The project, she explained, was to spread the word about a series of classes at The Yoga Project, a studio in the Sellwood area of Portland, called "Yoga for The Larger Woman."
Working with Joni is always such a great experience that I jumped at the chance. And my expectations of fun, laughter and connecting with fantastic people were surpassed several times over.
Over two and a half days, fourteen women sat in my makeup chair. Talking with these women was enlightening and heart-warming. They shared how their practice of yoga has changed their lives for the better. From reducing or discontinuing medications to increased mobility, flexibility and energy, their stories were inspiring and thought-provoking. Some of the women were also being interviewed for a video that was being shot at the same time, and were practicing their stories. Many began with something like, "I never thought I could do yoga," or "I always thought yoga was for thin people." As I did their makeup and watched them warm up for their turn in front of the camera, I was struck by their beauty and grace. I was honored to be helping them to feel just a little more special and confident by giving them safe and pure makeup to go in front of the camera. And they did seem a bit more confident after having their hair done (by a wonderful stylist, Mary) and makeup applied—a little more "ready for their close-up." Here is a photo of Kelly, a high school teacher, before and after her Alima Pure make-over:
As you can see, she was beautiful and vibrant before makeup, she's just more polished afterwards.
Yoga for the Larger Woman is the brainchild of Vilma Zaleskaite, co-director of The Yoga Project studio in Portland, OR. Vilma began giving classes for "larger women" in 2005, but credits a visit with her parents in Lithuania years before that as the real beginning. Her father asked her to teach a class for "old folks like me and your mom." She taught her first yoga class for seniors in their living room. On returning home, Vilma set up two yoga classes at a nearby retirement center. She recalls that her students, "taught me how to respect the body's abilities without asking too much. I encouraged them to challenge themselves in a pose; they taught me to laugh if the challenge part didn't go so well. I asked them to breathe 'properly;' they reminded me that any breath is better than none at all. Their calm presence slowed me down, and through it all we laughed a lot. Plus, being presented with a variety of bodies and a wide range of capabilities encouraged creativity on my part. I very much wanted to offer yoga that was accessible and enjoyable to every one of them."
The Yoga for the Larger Woman calendar is available for only $15 here. But if you're on the fence, go read the stories that the models shared about the ways that practicing yoga has changed their lives. If you need a little inspiration to keep you going on your personal yoga journey, or even a warm invitation to start the journey, these ladies will provide it for you!
(Note: Kelly is wearing Warm 3 Satin Matte Foundation, Carnation Satin Matte Blush, Lana Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadow on her brow bone and Amethyst Pearluster Eyeshadow on her lids. Her eyes are lined with Black Satin Matte Eyeliner, her brows are filled in with Raven Satin Matte Eyeshadow and she is wearing Holly Berry Organic Nourishing Lipbalm on her lips.)

They've got a new stadium coming.
They've got a dearth of talent.
They've got a huge, diverse fan base that earned that stadium.
Tim Leiweke, part of the Dynamo ownership group, commented today that Houston Dynamo should bring in a significant player. Wait, not strong enough, check out the direct quote:
"From a business standpoint, the only thing I've asked Chris and Dom to do is don't dip your toe in the water.
If you are going, go big. I don't believe in halfway, and there is a commitment amongst all our partners to make it a significant player that moves the needle from a business standpoint, fan standpoint, as well as on the pitch."
Wow, it's now up to coach Dom Kinnear and COO Chris Canetti to deliver.
If you're looking for a potential Houston DP, given Leiweke's comments, your candidate has the following complexion:
• They can pull both American fans and Mexican fans into that shiny new stadium.
• They fit a team need for Houston (primarily attack).
• They should be attacking if possible either way–those players tend to fetch more fan buzz and interest.
• You're thinking about a salary (to the player) of about $2M-$4M.
Five Plausibilities (not ready to call them Possibilities)
• DaMarcus Beasley (Signed for Hannover, Sept. 2010)
Major Draw: 7 – True Possibility: 2 – Team Need: 7
Overall Score: 16
Yes, Brad Davis inhabits the left flank quite well for the Blackpool, but Beasley is best on the right cutting in on his left foot.
Questions about whether Beasley is a Dom Kinnear type or would leave chilly Glasgow for sweltering Houston will and would abound.
That said, Beasley has close ties with Traffic Sports which rep Latin American events and they might have something to say about this.
• Fernando Morientes (Retired, Sept. 2010)
Major Draw: 5 – True Possibility: 5 – Team Need: 7
Overall Score: 17
Had Leiweke made his comments three years ago (when the DP was just an embryo) then Morientes would likely be your man.
At 34 (35 next year) Morientes just completed a one-year deal at top French club Marseille. The former Spanish star striker can still score and he's a good teammate. Enough bang for a major DP signing? Just shy?
• Gio Dos Santos (Tottenham Hotspur)
Major Draw: 8, True Possiiblity: 4, Team Need: 9
Overall Score: 21
Dos Santos will need little service as well to do his work and his hometown is less than 500 miles away.
Confined to sporadic play on Tottenham's bench and failing in his endeavor to make a name at Galatasary, Dos Santos could–conceivably Nery Castillo-style–be loaned for a term to Houston.
Dos Santos, even with his inconsistency, would tear up MLS and quickly be a favorite for the scoring crown.
He's exciting and he'll certainly sell seats. Salary? He'll come at a premium as he is making $5M these days.
Might be shooting too high on Gio, but if Houston wants to make a splash…
• Juan Román Riquelme:
Major Draw: 7 – True Possibility: 6 – Team Need: 9
Overall Score: 22
He's still got it, but can you get him out of Argentina? Ante up the ducats, Dynamo.
• David Suazo
Major Draw: 8 – True Possibility: 7 – Team Need: 8
Overall Score: 23
Probably your best candidate here.
The Honduras national is about ready for an Americas homecoming. After a sparkling Serie A career, Suazo has been fighting for playing time and went on loan to Genoa during the last half of last year.
Suazo could still get it done in MLS though, and he's a short skip from home–Honduras.
The Rest:
Ronaldinho: He's still Milan-quality and likes to be out in the scene. L.A. is a believable rumor, Houston is not.
Carlos Bocanegra: I know a Mexican-American and captain of the USMNT. Captain America for crissakes.That said, the Dynamo don't need a defender and just how transformative Boca's presence will be on or off the field remains to be seen.
Ruud Van Nistelroy: Not your guy Houston. The mercurial Van Nistelroy has a lethal shot but perhaps more than any other former World Class striker, he needs service to be effective.
Something tells me between Houston weather or cultural fabric, Van Nistelroy would be highly petulant before long.
Freddy Adu: Houston fans are smart soccer fans. They'll sniff out Adu as a potential draw more than on his potential on the field. Steve Goff will probably float this rumor sometime in the next week. Kidding.
Alessandro Del Piero: Bright lights, big city. I could see him hitting LA, Philly or New York before Houston.
Eddie Johnson: The Florida native–who we'll discuss in another piece this week–would not be coming back to MLS as a designated player in our opinion.
Dejan Stanković: A good fit, but won't draw from Latin America and hasn't moved from Inter since before 2004.
Damien Duff: An excellent choice, but he's not giving up the British Isles for Texas.
Joseba Llorente: Jozy Altidore's Villarreal striker sibling has played his entire career in Spain; a good fit, but not likely to leave.
Paco Torres: He would be Houston's new Stu Holden. Is he DP material? Not quite.
Clarence Seedorf: A smart and still productive player; I just don't see the fit though.
Guillermo Franco: The junior Morientes. One year behind Morientes, but further behind in talent.
Added commentary from TSG reader Chris, who has participated in our MLS Jumbles:
I've been discussing this a bit with some of the knowledgable Dynamo fans over at Big Soccer and based on that and Tim Leiweke's comments one thing is apparent: this is going to be a BIG name signing. There was pretty universal agreement that this needs to be a player who's shown on the European and/or world stage, mixed opinions on whether or not a Spanish or South American export might be favored, and general desire for a #10 or an out and out striker who's exciting to watch and generates media attention (and great highlights).
The big issue with finding a DP is that MLS has shown serious reluctance to pay transfer fees. This means you have to find a player who's ideally on his way out of a club and most likely a bit on the older side, that combined with the desire for star power the Dynamo are after and you've got your work cut out for you. There are always occasions where a player will be released from his contract, however, as in Henry's situation with Barcelona.
After hearing your pick and looking over the El Tri roster I thought about Andrés Guardado. Not as big a name but would definitely appeal to the Hispanic population and he's a legitimate footballer in Spain. Probably not as big a name as is desired, however, and he may not be interested in a move.

The Great Disconnect Between Stocks and Jobs
In the Great Recession of 2008-2009, companies are going a step further. They're using this sharp downturn to cut payrolls even below where they were when times were good. Outsourcing abroad, setting up shop in China and elsewhere, contracting out, replacing people with software and automated machines – they're doing whatever it takes to get payrolls down so earnings bounce up.

This time of year, everybody's talking about goals, plans and resolutions-I even set out a few of mine over at Queercents. Have you already given up on your New Year's resolutions? Every blogger, pundit, and expert on the internet has different ideas about what your goals should be and how you should achieve them. From the best of the internet and my own experience, here are the top four goal hacks of 2008 – and any other time you want to make a new plan.
First and, I think, mostly importantly, make your goals yours. At last count, there were 4.7 billion urgent things I needed to do to improve my finances, health and life – know that feeling? Ignore the noise and pick the goals you're most passionate about.
I have a significant load of student debt, and while all reason suggests I should be plowing as much energy (and money) as I can into paying it down, I just can't get excited about that idea. I'd much rather just stay on top of my payments and make a broader, more moderate plan of savings goals-including saving for a single, reasonable prepayment on the debt.
Second, make your goals actual goals. Fun fact: there are 90 people on 43things who want to get Jesse McCartney's phone number. There are also over 10,000 who want to save money, and, judging by the discussion, only a fraction of those have a plan to do so. Of course, "save money" isn't really a goal. "Save $2,000 in an emergency fund this year" is almost a goal. "Put $85 from each paycheck into an emergency fund and don't touch it unless I get fired" is a goal.
Third, make your goals public. This can range from starting a blog to telling your one closest confidant – but tell someone, so that they can encourage you and hold you accountable. Even better, work with a partner who has a similar goal.
Finally, make your goals fun-but not too fun. Set up a reward system for yourself that isn't going to blow your progress. If you wanted to lose weight, you wouldn't celebrate your successes with a banana split (or, maybe you would, and that would be the problem I'm talking about). You might budget a small reward fund to blow on something joyous and foolish after you meet all of your other financial goals in a given period of time, or just set aside an evening to do your favorite free activity. Hey, maybe you can get that buddy of yours to offer to take you out to dinner.
That – combined with a little discipline and the excitement you'll feel about seeing your progress grow – can hold you to the course all year long.

June 29, 1999, by David Weisner (Clarion, 1995), tells of strange things happening all over the US shortly after Holly Evans launches vegetable seeds in flats into the air, lifted by weather balloons. Her science project may be the explanation for such things as, "Artichokes Advance on Anchorage" and other headlines. The book explains one approach to the scientific method while it is also a work of science fiction that has been enjoyed by teachers and students.
Who Really Killed Cock Robin? by Jean Craighead George (Dutton, 1971), is a young adult book with an exciting environmental storyline. Two eighth-graders have set out to discover why this particular robin died. After much investigation, they find the cause in a story that is believable, interesting and informative. Although its neighborly, small town environment would not be familiar to all readers, this scientific detective story remains fresh even after thirty years.
The Mystery of King Karfu, by Doug Cushman (Harper Collins, 1996), uses both story and art to tell a story and provide clues to the mystery. Readers can discover more than the text actually tells. The entire book pretends to be the notebook of the famous detective, Seymour Sleuth, with his notes, pasted-in clues and scraps of information. The text and illustrations would be of interest to many primary children, but older elementary students can raise interesting questions from careful study of the book.
