The Coachella Valley's hotbed of world-class boxing action - Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, CA.- will host another exciting night of fistic action on Saturday, July 28 featuring rising star Ronny Rios and former World Champion Julio Diaz in co-featured fights.
The Rios and Diaz fights, which will be contested against opponents to be named, will headline TeleFutura's "Sólo Boxeo Tecate."
This event is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and is sponsored by Cerveza Tecate. Doors open at 6:30pm PT on fight night and the first bell rings at 7:00pm PT. The TeleFutura broadcast begins at 11:00pm ET / PT.
Tickets, priced at $25, $35 and $45, are on sale now and available for purchase at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, by calling (800) 827-2946 or online at www.fantasyspringsresort.com. Ronny Rios (18-0, 8 KO's) cleaned up as an amateur, winning two United States titles and one National Golden Gloves Championship before turning professional in October of 2008 with a first round knockout of Fermin Perez. Since then, no one has come close to beating the 22-year-old from Santa Ana, Calif. who has defeated Roger Gonzalez, Jeremy McLaurin and Guillermo Sanchez in his last three fights. On July 28, he headlines the card and makes his Fantasy Springs debut.
Former Two-Time World Champion Julio "The Kidd" Diaz (38-7, 27 KO's) returns to the ring for the first time in over a year on July 28, and at 32 years old, he is primed and ready to make a run for a third world title. The winner of two of his last three fights, defeating Herman Ngoudjo and Pavel Miranda, the popular battler from Coachella is happy to have his home town fans in his corner for this pivotal bout.
Grammy Award winning jazz pianist and singer, Diana Krall brings her Summer Nights tour to Fantasy Springs' Special Events Center on Saturday August 11th. Krall has sold more than 6 million albums in the US and over 15 million worldwide. She is the only jazz singer to have eight albums debuting at the top of the Billboard Jazz charts. She also has earned nine gold, three platinum, and seven multi-platinum albums.
Krall attended the Berklee School of Music in the '80s, then moved to Los Angeles where she continued her studies with bassists Ray Brown and John Clayton, drummer Jeff Hamilton and pianist Jimmy Rowles; Rowles convinced the young pianist to focus on her singing as well. By 1990, Krall moved to New York City and began performing with a trio, and in 1993, she released her debut album on a small Canadian independent label.
Fifteen years later, she can look back over a stellar career path: in '99, signed to Verve, her career exploded after When I Look in Your Eyes won a GRAMMY for best jazz vocal and became the first jazz disc to be nominated for Album of the Year in 25 years. In 2002, The Look of Love was a #1 bestseller in the US and a five-time platinum album in Canada. 2004's The Girl in the Other Room, was her first to focus on her own songwriting. With six tunes co-written with husband Elvis Costello, 2005's Christmas Songs, proved one of the season's best-sellers.
With a career spanning more than four decades, Olivia Newton-John has a timeless appeal. On Saturday, September 15th she will perform at the Special Events Center at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and show her fans that she still has the "magic".
Olivia's U.S. album debut, "Let Me Be There," produced her first top ten single of the same name, with Olivia being honored by the Academy Of Country Music as Most Promising Female Vocalist and a Grammy Award as Best Country Vocalist. This proved to be only the beginning of a very exciting career. With more than 100 million albums sold, Olivia's successes include four Grammy Awards, numerous Country Music, American Music and Peoples Choice Awards, ten #1 hits including "Physical," which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles. (In September 2008, Billboard Magazine listed "Physical" at #6 on their Top 100 Songs Of All Time list and in 2010 listed it as "The Sexiest Song of All Time".) In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in "Grease" catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film's best-selling soundtrack featured the duets "You're The One That I Want" and "Summer Nights," with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, "Hopelessly Devoted To You." To date "Grease" remains the most successful movie musical in history. Her other feature film credits include "Toomorrow," "Xanadu," "Two Of A Kind," "It's My Party," "Sordid Lives," "Score: A Hockey Musical," and "A Few Best Men."
Throughout her career, the much-loved star, who danced with Gene Kelly in "Xanadu," hosted the popular internationally syndicated "Wild Life" television show, was bestowed an O.B.E. (Order Of The British Empire) by Queen Elizabeth in 1979, has held many humanitarian causes close to her heart.
Her charmed life has not been without its share of upset. In the 90's, Olivia successfully overcame her own battle with breast cancer, which inspired her self-penned and produced album, "GAIA," her most personal album reflecting upon her experiences with cancer. She used these experiences to gain greater self-awareness and became a positive inspiration to millions of people battling cancer. As a breast cancer survivor, Olivia has become increasingly well known and respected for talking openly about her battle with breast cancer and for promoting public awareness of the importance of early detection. This month will commence the opening of the Olivia Newton-John Cancer & Wellness Center at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. The Center will provide a combination of western style cancer treatments with holistic treatments with the aim of treating the whole individual, mind, body, and soul. Olivia has worked tirelessly to raise the money to have this center built.
In 2010 Olivia also appeared as herself in two episodes of the hit series, "Glee," adding another Top 100 hit to her credits with a new version of "Physical" sung with Jane Lynch. In October 2010 Olivia starred in the breast cancer docudrama "1 A Minute" and, the Canadian film "Score: A Hockey Musical." Her latest film, "A Few Best Men," was released in January 2012, garnering her some of the best reviews of her film career.
Olivia released her first book, LivWise: Easy Recipes For A Healthy, Happy Life (Murdoch Books) in Australia in 2011. In LivWise, Olivia explains her belief in the importance of eating a healthy diet in order to maintain wellness and balance. LivWise will introduce readers to ways of eating and living that will keep them in good health and happiness and will be released in the USA and United Kingdom in 2012.
The soundtrack to her new film, "A Few Best Men," features dance remixes of classic hits such as "Sugar Sugar" and "Daydream Believer" recorded by Olivia and remixed by some of the hottest club remixers in the world. In addition the soundtrack reunites Olivia with her longtime producer and songwriter, John Farrar, on the single, "Weightless." She is currently working on a new dance remix CD featuring some of her classic hits, as well new songs, and is set for release in 2012. With her current and ongoing projects and philanthropic endeavors, Olivia's worldwide popularity is as strong as ever.
The KungFu String Girls are bringing a whole new performance genre to the stage at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. On Sunday, September 16th at 6PM, the all girl group from China will showcase their unique style which integrates the primary elements of Chinese KungFu into a string performance.
Each member of The KungFu String Girls has been professionally trained in music since childhood. Most of them attended the Chinese Central Conservatory of Music, which is the top music academy in China.
The group has integrated modern popular sounds into classical music, creating what has been called a vigorous Eastern style KungFu String. With the combination of dance and martial arts, it has been said that their music redefines instrumental performance.
The number one selling duo in music history is bringing their show to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. On Saturday, September, 22nd Daryl Hall and John Oates bring their "Do What You Want, Be What You Are Tour 2012" to Indio and prove why they have stood the test of time. Starting out as two devoted disciples of earlier soul greats, Daryl Hall & John Oates are soul survivors in their own right. They have become such musical influences on some of today's popular artists that the September 2006 cover of Spin Magazine's headline read: "Why Hall and Oates are the New Velvet Underground." Their artistic fan base includes Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Brandon Flowers of the Killers, Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and MTV's newest hipsters Gym Class Heroes who dubbed their tour "Daryl Hall for President Tour 2007." One of the most sampled artists today, their impact can be heard everywhere from boy band harmonies, to neo-soul to rap-rock fusion.
Signed to Atlantic by Ahmet Ertegan in the 1970's, Daryl Hall & John Oates have sold more albums than any other duo in music history. Their 1973 debut album, Abandoned Luncheonette, produced by Arif Mardin, yielded the Top 10 single, "She's Gone," which also went to #1 on the R&B charts when it was covered by Taveras. The duo recorded one more album with Atlantic, War Babies, (produced by Todd Rundgren) before they were dropped and promptly signed to RCA. Their tenure at RCA would catapult the duo to international superstardom.
From the mid-'70s to the mid-'80s, the duo would score six #1 singles, including "Rich Girl" (also #1 R&B), "Kiss on My List," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do) (also #1 R&B), "Maneater" and "Out of Touch" from their six consecutive multi-platinum albums—'76's Bigger Than Both of Us, '80's Voices, '81's Private Eyes, '82's H2O, '83's Rock N Soul, Part I and '84's Big Bam Boom. The era would also produce an additional 5 Top 10 singles, "Sara Smile," "One on One," "You Make My Dreams," "Say It Isn't So" and "Method of Modern Love."
Daryl also wrote the H&O single "Everytime You Go Away," which singer Paul Young scored a number-one hit with a cover of the song in 1985.
That same year, Daryl and John, participated in the historic "We Are the World" session as well as closing the Live Aid show in Philadelphia.
Most recently as a duo, Daryl Hall & John Oates released their first box set, Do What You Want, Be What You Are: The Music of Daryl Hall & John Oates. The box set marks the first comprehensive multi-CD, multi-label deluxe box set compilation ever assembled from their entire career's work, four CDs containing 74 tracks (16 of them previously unreleased).
With the fortieth anniversary of their first album, Whole Oats, 2012 finds Daryl Hall and John Oates very much at the height of their powers making their own kind of soul, with a new generation of musicians recognizing not only their historic track record of success, but also their continuing influence and achievements.
A blues-rock guitarist who draws his inspiration from Elmore James, Hound Dog Taylor, and Chuck Berry, George Thorogood never earned much respect from blues purists, but he became a popular favorite in the early '80s through repeated exposure on FM radio and the arena rock circuit. Thorogood's music was always loud, simple, and direct.
Originally, Thorogood was a minor-league baseball player but decided to become a musician in 1970 after seeing John Paul Hammond in concert. Three years later, he assembled the Destroyers in his home state of Delaware; in addition to Thorogood, the band featured bassist Michael Lenn, second guitarist Ron Smith, and drummer Jeff Simon. Shortly after the Destroyers were formed, he moved them to Boston, where they became regulars on the blues club circuit. In 1974, they cut a batch of demos that were later released in 1979 as the Better Than the Rest album.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his group exploded on the scene in the mid-'90s and garnered huge amounts of radio airplay on commercial radio, which historically has not been a solid home for blues and blues-rock music, with the exception of Stevie Ray Vaughan in the mid-'80s. Shepherd was born June 12, 1977, in Shreveport, LA. The Shreveport native began playing at age seven, figuring out Muddy Waters licks from his father's record collection (he has never taken a formal lesson). At age 13, he was invited on-stage by New Orleans bluesman Brian Lee and held his own for several hours; thus proving himself, he decided on music as a career. He formed his own band, which featured lead vocalist Corey Sterling, gaining early exposure through club dates and, later, radio conventions. Shepherd's father/manager used his own contacts and pizzazz in the record business to help land his son a major-label record deal with Irving Azoff's Giant Records. Ledbetter Heights, his first album, was released two years later in 1995. Ledbetter Heights was an immediate hit, selling over 500,000 by early 1996. Most blues records never achieve that level of commercial success, much less ones released by artists who are still in their teens.
A lot of talented children have probably been asked by a parent to entertain family and friends, maybe in the living room, maybe sing a little, play an instrument. No big deal and a good way to get used to performing for others. But when Jason Bonham was a small child and got called in to entertain, the family friends he played his drums for could be anyone from Jimmy Page to some of the guys from the group Bad Company. That's what happens when your father is drummer John Bonham, one of the original members of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin.
At the age of only five, Jason could play the drums, at least a scaled-down set of them, with skill. When he was 17 he was a member of the band Air Race. The group signed a record contract with Atlantic Records, recorded one album, and opened for big names like Queen, Meat Loaf, Ted Nugent, and AC/DC. John Bonham died in 1980, but Jason, who has marked a few places in music history himself, has stepped in from time to time to help keep his father's memory alive.
Jason represented his father when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in January 1995, with his sister Zoe by his side. He soon put together another solo project which culminated in "In the Name of My Father - The Zepset" cd, which featured the songs of Led Zeppelin. Proceeds from the album went to charity. The album followed up with When You See the Sun.
On December 10th, 2007, Jason played drums in the most anticipated concert of all time - the Led Zeppelin reunion at London's O2 arena with surviving members Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Robert Plant.
Whether you call it "fate" or "destiny" or "a calling," the fact is that some people are born to sing and create music. If you ask any of the "legends" in the music business, chances are you'll get a variation on the idea that music is and always has been the artist's most natural expression. The industry's latest "legend" - John Legend, actually - reveals that from the age of five or six, he expected to be 'discovered.
Music has been the central theme in the life of John Legend (born John Stephens) for as long as he can remember and now, some twenty-odd years later, this multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, arranger and producer is fulfilling his childhood dreams and ambitions.
One listen to the soulful yet edgy Get Lifted and there's no question that John Legend indeed delivers the real deal, living up to his name and beginning the next chapter in a career filled with promise and possibility.
Rock Yard season will reopen in Spring 2012. Live music can be found inside LIT (link) every Friday and Saturday night. And don't miss the new Country Night inside LIT. Thursday nights you can hoot 'n holler and line dance to local Country bands and tribute performances to some of Country's biggest stars.
Please enjoy some video from some of our most memorable performances. See you next year!
The Rock Yard at Fantasy Springs was the first venue in the Palm Springs area to bring music fans free, live, rock shows every weekend. At 7:30p.m., the full-throttle rock music fires up and gets audience members out of their seats. The live music continues until midnight. There is no cover charge and guests must be 18 and older to rock out at the Rock Yard.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
GULFPORT, Miss., Sept. 23, 2005 In the aftermath of a hurricane, the capabilities that a combat engineer battalion brings are pure gold.
That's the experience for officials in the hours and days after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast.
The Mississippi National Guard's 890th Engineer Battalion was invaluable in getting vehicles, supplies and people through the devastated area, officials said.
Even before the storm, the battalion sent 20-man teams with their equipment to hunker down with local emergency operations centers. In addition, the battalion headquarters was at the armory on the Trent Lott Combat Arms Training Center here. The teams were in place to coordinate requests from local centers to the battalion and the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
Katrina changed those plans. "There was no communications," said battalion executive officer Army Maj. Anthony Smith. The emergency operations center in Bay St. Louis, Miss., and its 20-man engineer cell had to evacuate due to the storm surge. And the battalion headquarters was surrounded by a lake.
Still, guardsmen went right to work. "The wind was still blowing when we had people and equipment out clearing roads," said Army Master Sgt. David Savage, acting battalion command sergeant major. "Soldiers make it all possible. The privates and junior (noncommissioned officers) saw what needed to be done and did it."
That included clearing roads so emergency vehicles could get into heavily damaged communities. It included removing hazards to health and safety, like tons of spoiled chicken in Biloxi, Miss., or houses terminally weakened by the storm. It including aiding first responders as they looked for those trapped by the storm.
The unit quickly fixed small bridges to allow vehicle access and helped open up 3,000 kilometers of Mississippi roads, officials said.
Once the work of opening the area was well along, soldiers of the unit volunteered to help search houses in affected Mississippi counties. "The feeling (among the soldiers) is, 'We're here. Put us to work,'" Savage said.
Many soldiers in the unit are from Gulfport and surrounding towns. Almost 60 battalion soldiers lost their homes and possessions in the storm. "Our troops maintain a great attitude even in the face of this," Smith said. "If you didn't laugh, you'd cry."

Xavier University's Sister Rose Ann Fleming Recognized
Skyline Chili Crosstown Classic Also Honored
SR. ROSE ANN FLEMING - 2000 Inductee --- Academic Advisor (1982-present).
Athletics at Xavier is more than just a game. It is an important part of the Jesuit philosophy of education that stresses the development of the mind, body and spirit of each student. Xavier is consistently among the top schools in the nation for student-athlete graduation rates. In the NCAA Official Graduation Rates Report, Xavier is consistently near 80% graduation rate for student-athletes, which exceeds the 74% rate for XU's general student population.
The one person who deserves a major part of the credit for the success of Xavier's support system for student-athletes is nationally-renowned academic advisor Sr. Rose Ann Fleming. Fleming, who has been inducted into Xavier University's Athletic Hall of Fame, took over as academic advisor for XU student-athletes in 1985.
Fleming came to Xavier as a teacher and master's degree student in 1982. She took over as academic advisor for student-athletes on August 1, 1985. Sr. Rose Ann Fleming, SND DeN, has over 40 years of experience as a college educator.
Fleming, who received her undergraduate degree from the College of Mt. St. Joseph in 1954, has also earned two master's degrees, a Ph.D and a law degree. She was president of Cincinnati's Summit Country Day School from 1967-75 and president of Trinity College from 1975-82.
Fleming has been the subject of national features by Associated Press, Reader's Digest and Fox Sports Net among others. More importantly she has proven her dedication to the Jesuit philosophy of education, a philosophy that stresses the development of the mind, body and spirit of each student. In addition to Fleming, two full-time staff members, four graduate assistants and an intern make up the Xavier Athletics Academic Advising Program.
The academic advisors in the athletic department not only monitor the study tables, but provide tutoring to the student-athletes. Each advisor works specifically with certain teams, giving the student-athletes a familiar contact for academic help.
Xavier Gives Special Attention To New Students
Part of the curriculum in the first semester at Xavier for all student-athletes is a Life Skills class called "Issues Affecting Student-Athletes" that is designed to teach students about time management, study skills, and other unique challenges that face student-athletes. Through the academic advising office, student-athletes have the opportunity to use university laptops on road trips to keep up with their course work. In addition, coaches hold study sessions for all team members on longer road trips.

Below is the poem entitled 'My Worth' which was written by poet
Neels. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Wilma Neels
Did you spin the rope?
Pull it tighter
To reign me in
Did u feel the resistance?
Of my temperament
Could you feel the strength of my willpower?
I am not going back there
I prefer it here
In the light
Where worries don't seem so insurmountable
I have a better handle on things
I feel human again
Please leave me
Let me remain
In this highlighted space
Where I know my weak state
Will not be daunting
Because I know when I cry out
The angels will come running
The difference now is
I know they are fighting just as hard as me
They know my worth
My Father made sure of that
So here it is as gently as I can state it
Leave me be
Or my Father might have to
Deal with you on His terms
I will not be moved,
I will not be shaken
I know my worth
Maybe it's time
You see it too
*Have no idea what inspired this piece"

ORCHARD PARK, NY (Buffalo Bills) – Former New Hanover Wildcat Jay Ross played in his first NFL regular season game on Sunday. In order to make room for Shawne Merriman the Buffalo Bills released Ross on Monday afternoon. Ross was called up to the active roster from the practice squad for Sunday's game against Arizona.
SAN DIEGO, CA (AP) – Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes in the second half and Tony Carter and Chris Harris scored off turnovers by Philip Rivers as the Denver Broncos overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit to stun the San Diego Chargers 35-24 on Monday night.
Manning was 13 of 14 for 167 yards in the second half for the Broncos (3-3) who tied the Chargers atop the AFC West.
Rivers was intercepted four times – three in the fourth quarter – and lost two fumbles.
Manning's 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley gave Denver its first lead of the game, 28-24 with 9:03 left. Stokley outleaped defensive back Marcus Gilchrist to catch the ball, and then got both feet down before tumbling out of the end zone.
Harris sealed the victory with a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:05 left. It was his second pick of the night.
Manning finished 24 of 30 for 309 yards with one interception.

GREENSBORO, NC (AP) – Atlantic Coast Conference coaches have picked North Carolina State as league favorite.
Eight of the league's 12 coaches picked the Wolfpack. The coaches also picked N.C. State's C.J. Leslie as preseason player of the year and teammate Rodney Purvis as rookie of the year.
Duke was second and had three first-place votes, while North Carolina was third and got the other first-place vote. Miami was fourth, followed by Florida State, Maryland, Virginia, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Boston College.
Leslie, N.C. State's Lorenzo Brown, UNC's James Michael McAdoo, Duke's Mason Plumlee and FSU's Michael Snaer made the coaches' preseason all-ACC team.
It was the first coaches' vote on a predicted finish or individual honors. The media vote comes Wednesday during the ACC's media day in Charlotte.

FORT BRAGG, NC (Duke) — Mike Krzyzewski gave his Duke team a taste of his Army past.
The former West Point cadet, player and coach had the Blue Devils at Fort Bragg on Monday for a day of physical training and an open practice in front of a few hundred soldiers.
"I just want our guys to be around the best team in the world, and the best team in the world is our military," Krzyzewski said. "So, for a day, we're going to have that honor."
For Krzyzewski, the visit to this sprawling Army post in central North Carolina reconnected him to his past.
Before he became "Coach K," he was Bob Knight's point guard at West Point in the 1960s and rose to the rank of captain before resigning in 1974 and getting his record-setting college coaching career off the ground. Before he arrived at Duke in 1980, he coached the Black Knights for five years.
Krzyzewski said his doctors wouldn't let him tackle the obstacle course — which the players called the toughest part of the day — because the 65-year-old has had both hips replaced. But he added that his experiences in the Army were "good for me at one time in my life, and it's paid good dividends for me, and I wanted them to be exposed to it."
Getting on the court and practicing wound up being the easiest thing the players did. With the university on fall break until Wednesday, the team had an opening in the schedule to make the 90-mile trip south. They arrived Sunday and spent the night in barracks.
Then came a 5:45 a.m. wake-up call and a march to physical training. They tackled an obstacle course before arriving at the physical fitness center where they practiced. Virtually every player showed up at the gym caked in dirt from the obstacle course.
"We were down in the trenches, working hard, running, exerting our energy and we really had to have a bond, and that's the same bond we have in practice," freshman Amile Jefferson said. "If a guy's not making his push-ups, can't make it, is getting tired, we had to pick him up and it really brought us together as a team."
Said forward Ryan Kelly: "It was harder than I thought, and I have the blisters to show for it, but it's something I'll never forget."
The practice itself was, by most standards, rather vanilla. The Blue Devils don't usually open their practices back in Durham, and they weren't about to give away too many secrets with a national television audience watching this one.
Freshman Rasheed Sulaimon joined Quinn Cook, Alex Murphy and returning big men Mason Plumlee and Kelly with the first team. Redshirt freshman Marshall Plumlee, who has a stress fracture in his left foot, was on crutches with the foot in a boot. Guard Seth Curry participated in drills but was held out of the scrimmage situations with a lower leg injury that the coaches are keeping an eye on, team spokesman Matt Plizga said.
But the priorities for this workout weren't strategy or sorting out the rotation. The goal was to build team unity and put on a show for the troops who filled four sections of bleachers in the gym. As the soldiers began to file in, the Blue Devils stopped stretching and gave them a standing ovation.
"We wanted this trip to help shape us into the team we're going to become, and obviously, practice is just getting started," Kelly said. "But this can be something that we look back on and say it really helped shape who we are."

Time sure flies, doesn't it? This spring marks the not-so-happy 20th anniversary of the introduction of Monsanto's flagship "RoundUp Ready" GE crops. USDA approved the first of these pesticide-intensive systems for commodity crops back in 1994. The new products came with big promises: they would fatten farmers' wallets and at the same time feed starving people around the world.
Farmers bought into RoundUp Ready corn, soy and cotton in a big way. Now, 85% of all corn and 90% of all soybeans grown in the U.S. have that trademarked RoundUp Ready gene. RoundUp Ready is king of the hill when it comes to commodity seeds — but not for long. Five years from now, RoundUp Ready may be nothing more than a relic of the past.
As we head into the warm summer months, I often hear this question from neighbors, friends and fellow moms: how can I best avoid pesticides?
It's a season of outdoor romping, family travel, daycare, camps and play. In many parts of the country, it's also high season for pesticide spraying in agricultural fields, and in and near places where children are spending their days. So what to do?
McDonald's held its annual general meeting (AGM) last Thursday. If shareholders wanted a quiet meeting, they sure didn't get it! The company's headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois, was packed: 2,000 fast-food workers, clergy, parents and food system activists poured into town with a thing or two to say to McDonald's.
The Minnesota-based Toxic Taters Coalition — a longtime partner of PAN — was one of several groups with a message to deliver to the fast-food giant. Toxic Taters delivered a petition with more than 20,000 signatures, calling on McDonald's to cut pesticide use on potatoes, work with a third party certifier to transition to sustainable practices, increase transparency about pesticide use and fund a public health study in areas impacted by potato production.
Minnesota became the first state in the country to ban the "anti-microbial" pesticide triclosan from antibacterial soaps, toothpastes, deodorants, cosmetics, fabrics and other consumer products.
Announced this month and taking effect in 2017, this ban is great news since triclosan can cause hormone disruption in people — including interfering with thyroid gland function, sperm production in males and immune system health. And its use is unnecessary since using plain soap and water is no less effective in preventing disease.
Whew, three islands in four days. I recently returned from a whirlwind speaking tour in Hawai'i with Dr. Tyrone Hayes covering issues of pesticides, corporate control in agriculture and genetically engineered (GE) seeds.
Addressing the topic in high school auditoriums and community health clinics, it's increasingly clear that people across the state want to build a food system that feeds them, protects community health and fragile ecosystems, and offers fair employment — including pushing back against corporate takeover of the islands' farming land. And they're making real headway.
"This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water… Drift or runoff may be hazardous….The use of this chemical…may result in groundwater contamination." Does this sound like a green chemical of the future, something that you'd want drifting over fields, rivers, streams, schools and homes? Not so much. But our Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may disagree.
EPA has been stumbling hard and making some bad decisions lately, including this latest announcement: the agency intends to approve Dow AgroScience's new formulation of the highly toxic herbicide, 2,4-D — to be used with the corporation's genetically engineered (GE) 2,4-D resistant corn, cotton and soybean seeds.
Last week the French group Generations Futures announced findings from a small biomonitoring study of children living and learning near agricultural fields. Eighty percent of the children tested had been exposed to agricultural pesticides in the previous three months.
Researchers took hair samples from 30 children living or attending school within a 1/10 of a mile of agricultural areas. Analysis of the samples found "traces of 53 pesticides believed to affect the hormone system of mammals, leading to cancerous tumors, birth defects, developmental disorders and learning disabilities in humans."
Pesticides are an everyday part life in our town. Sometimes we can see or smell the drifting chemicals, sometimes they are invisible. But we know they are there — especially in the fall when fields are fumigated, and this time of year when new plants are sprayed.
So I wasn't surprised when health officials released a report last week showing that children in our part of California — the Central Valley — are most likely to be in schools near pesticide-sprayed fields. We've been telling our stories for years, and unfortunately policymakers haven't heard us. As a mom, I'm very much hoping that maybe now we will see some change.
A few weeks ago I heard Dr. Marla Spivak give a "State of the Bees" address to a packed auditorium in Minneapolis. At the end of her presentation, an audience member raised his hand and asked: "What state is doing the most to protect bees?" Dr. Spivak only paused for a moment before answering, "Well, I'd have to say Minnesota."
Dr. Spivak may be biased, since her Bee Lab is based at the University of Minnesota (and I guess I could be too). But I think she's onto something: Minnesota is getting a move on protecting its pollinators.
It's no surprise: pesticide corporations go to great lengths to protect the public image of their products. We've been highlighting their PR hijinks for years, and their attempts to spin facts to suit their agenda have only gotten more blatant.
Bees and pesticides provide the latest example. Corporate attempts to reframe the conversation, and subvert independent science, have gone into hyperdrive. Bayer, Syngenta and Monsanto in particular are positioning themselves as "bee friendly" — no matter that several top selling pesticide products are directly linked to bee deaths.

Unidentified Males, Bayou Body Count No. 36 and 37
Two unidentified men were shot dead around 2 a.m. Sunday, March 20 at 6200 West Bellfort.
Police report the victims were in the parking lot of an apartment complex waiting for the suspect to return a phone to him. The phone was found at a convenience story in the 11100 block of Albury.
Upon the suspect's arrival, he allegedly opened fire on both victims, killing one. He then chased the second victim, fatally shooting him in a separate area of the complex. The suspect fled the scene in a dark, four-door car, possibly a Honda Accord.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

The essence of Witchcraft is transformation. The idea is to take the "you" currently present and accounted for and change your essence into something better, greater, stronger, and incredibly dynamic. Being a Witch means to want to work every day to be a better person. When you change yourself, then the world around you cannot help but change. There's no getting around it. All this changing can be a lot of hard work- and there are certain aspects of the path that require time, effort, and energy. Although many of the things you truly want can be achieved in a short time with the techniques presented in this site, there are other issues in your life that will require patience, effort, and practice to reach your ultimate goals. If you didn't have to work at some things, then the study wouldn't seem worthwhile. To be a witch, you must be brave enough to face everything inside of you, and have the courage to change the things you do not like. being a witch has nothing to do with spells, rituals, and unusual clothing-they are the fun stuff. To be a witch is to desire personal transformation.
When you truly take the power of Witch training into your being and strive to do the best that you can regardless of the situation, the thirteen powers of the universe are given to you. These are either transferred through a religious ceremony by those who have been gifted before you, or they can come about at there own pace as you grow and learn on your own. If a power is abused, it is thought that the gift is taken from you, either for a period of time or permanently. The powers speak of blessings that you can give to others or use for yourself to enhance your own as well as others around you.
Thirteen powers do the Witches claim
their right of lineage by (say the name of
your patron god or goddess here)'s name.
tie a knot and say the words
or hand on head-the blessing conferred.
a Witch can give success and love
curse or bless through
God/dess above.
speak to beast and spirits alike
command the weather; cast out blight.
read the heavens and stars of the night
divine the future and give good advice.
Conjure treasure and bring fortune to bear
heal the sick and kill the despair.
This poem can be said as a blessing when giving something to another and can be included in any spell by adding:
This is my birthright to have and to share
blessing a upon you, (the persons name),
may the spirits be fair.
This poem itself is very powerful and will create change. Just be careful what you wish for....
Charge of the Star Goddess
The Charge of the Goddess is one of the most popular ritual invocations in the modern Wicca. The foundation of the work comes from a book titled Aradia: Gospel of the Witches (Vangelo delle-Steghe), written by Charles Leland and published in 1899. Sometime after 1955, Doreen Valiente, one of the most gifted poets and Priestesses of Wicca in our time, use the information in poetry while assisting Gerald Gardner in compiling the material later used for geardnerian instruction. The version written here appeared in The Grimoire of Lady Sheba, first published 1972. In later years, the charge is broken into two parts, with the second section standing alone and titled "The Charge of the Star Goddess."
Depending upon personal or coven choice, the charge is read:
* At the beginning of a ritual. Members of the coven may practice deep breathing, grounding and centering, or meditation.
* Before communication.
* At the end of a ritual, as a closure.
* At some point during an initiation rite.
* During daily devotions.
* During personal spell working.
The Charge (Part1)
Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old, called amongst men, Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionhod, Bride, and by many other names.
At mind Altar, the use of Lasedemon in Sparta made due sacrifice. Whenever ye have need of anything, once in a month and better it be when the Moon is full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the Spirit of Me, who am Queen of all the Witcheries. There shall ye assemble, who are feign to learn all sorceries who have not as yet won my deepest secrets. To these will I teach that which is as yet unknown. And ye shall be free from all slavery and as a sign the ye be really free, ye shall sing, feast, and make music, in all my presents. For mine is the ecstasy of the Spirit and mine is also joy on earth. For my Law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideals, strive ever towards them. Let none stop you or turn you aside. For mine is the secret that opens upon the door of youth and mine is the Cup of the Wine of Life and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of Immortality. I am the gracious Goddess who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man upon earth. I give the knowledge of the Spirit Eternal, and beyond death I give peace and freedom and reunion with those that have gone before. Nor so I demand aught or sacrifice, for behold I am the Mother of all things, and my love is poured out upon the earth.
The Charge (part 2)
Here ye the words of the Star Goddess. She, in the dust of who's feet are the Host of Heaven, who's body incircleth the universe.
I, who have the beauty of the Green Earth and the White Moon amongst the stars and the mystery of the Waters, and the desire of the heart of man; I call unto thy soul to arise and come unto me. For I am the Soul of Nature who giveth life to the universe; from me all things proceed and unto me all things must turn. You, beloved of the Gods and men, whose innermost divine self shall be enfolded in the raptures of the Infinite, let my worship be in the heart. Rejoiceth for behold, all act of love and pleasure are my rituals; therefore, let there be beauty and strength-power and compassion-honor and humility, mirth and reverence-within you. and thou who thinkest to seek me, know that thy seeking and yearning avail thee not, unless thou knowest the mystery-that if that which thou seekest thou findeth not within thyself, thou wilt never find it without thee. For behold! I have been with thee from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire!
Absent Healing
There are many forms of healing practiced by Witches and others. Among them is absent healing. As it implies, it is a form of healing in which the patient need not be present. Within this category are a number of methods of directing the healing energies. Some are done in a Coven situation, with a number of people combining their energies, and some are done by individual, or Solitary, Witches.
In modern Wicca, all healings start with obtaining the permission of the patient. Wiccans will not interfere with another's free will in any way whatsoever. They believe that each has his or her own lessons to learn in life, and that a particular illness may be part of a lesson that needs to be experienced. If the patient feels strongly that the suffering is part of a learning process, then he or she may well not seek magical relief. The Witches will not, therefore, attempt to heal someone unless that person had told them they may do so. Also, Wiccans believe that the medical profession should be consulted first, since they are professionally trained in healing.
Looking first at the coven, a typical healing circle starts with all coven members being apprised of the complete situation: The name and location of the patient; what is wrong with him or her; how the situation came about; the patient's circumstances; and the medical prognosis, if there is one.
The members discuss which methods should be used to raise the necessary power, and exactly which role each coven member will play. In some covens, the Witches will raise their Cone of Power and direct it individually toward the patient. In other groups, the power is channeled to the High Priestess or another coven leader. and that leader is the one who actually directs it to the recipient. In healing magic, as in all forms of magi, the focus is on the result. In other words, the Witches center on seeing the patient completely well, rather than simply getting better.
Much the same thing takes place with the Solitary Witch. First come the complete assessment of the situation, followed by a decision about which method to use to raise power. If a long term illness is being dealt with, then the Witch or Witches will repeat their distant healing regularly over a period of days, weeks, months, or even years.
In both coven and Solitary practice, the actual type of healing is another decision to be reached. It is possible to simply project healing energies, but it is also possible to work though Poppets, Candle magic, color projection, and other methods. Covens are more likely to direct their energies directly or through color projection, while Solitaries are more likely to indulge in candle manipulation and poppet magic, although all methods are open to everyone.
The central theme of an initiation is the Palingenesis, or symbolical death and rebirth. This is a universal theme found in initiation and puberty rites in many civilizations and among primitive peoples alike. In many such rituals the novitiate is, at some point, bound and also blindfolded. This binding and blinding symbolize the darkness and restriction of the womb prior to birth.
Mystery religions, of which Witchcraft os one, magical orders and secret societies, follow the same general pattern of blindfolding and binding the candidate at or before his or her initial entrance to the temple. There is a challenge and an exchange of passwords, then the proselyte is brought into the circle. At some point the blindfold and cords are removed, signaling the rebirth, and "new knowledge" is imparted.
In Wicca, the form of binding is important. The cord is first tied with a single square (or "reef") knot around the left wrist. The arms are brought together, crossing over one another, behind the Initiate's back, forming the base of a triangle with the back of the head. The cord is then tied again, once, around the upper right wrist. The two ends of the cord are taken up, one on either side of the neck. They are brought around, crossing the front of the neck, then back to be tied in a loose bow, known as a "cable tow", on the side of the neck with the ends of the cord hanging down. A similar binding in Freemasonary and in many forms of ritual and ceremonial magic.
Binding is necessary in some forms of Wiccan magic, In the Gardinerian tradition, for example, the High Priestess is bound, as described above, and then kneels before the altar. She is then ritually scourged, to course the blood through her body, which is believed to help generate magical power. She remains bound throughout the working of the magic.
Binding Spells are used to prevent someone from divulging secrets, especially Craft of Magical secrets. Witches may not perform negative magic, but binding spells are generally viewed as being in a "gray area", in which the person at whom the spell is directed is neither helped nor harmed. Most such binding spells involve the use of a poppet, to represent the subject although they can be done with no more than a photograph or even a brief example of the persons handwriting. If a poppet is used, it may be of wax, cloth, clay, or similar material. The figure is named for the person in a consecration ritual and it is stated that whatever is done to the figure will be done to the person it represents. The poppet is then bound with silk thread of a relevant color and, if necessary, the mouth may be sewed shut. No physical harm come to the subject, but specific words and/or actions are restricted.

Ellie graciously offered to share the brilliant ear wire tutorial with Jewelry Making Daily readers, as it was shared with her by her friend Judy Jaramillo. If you haven't seen this little wire tutorial yet, you're in for a treat. (And if you have seen it before, why didn't you tell me!?)
7. Grasp both wire ends (at the open end) and cut them to match evenly with wire nippers/flush cutters. File the wire ends smooth with a nail file or a cup burr.
8. Using round-nose pliers, bend out the ends of the ear wires just a bit. (Ever wonder why ear wires have this little bend? It creates balance in the ear wires and also helps keep them in your ears without having to create a hook closure like French ear wires have.)
If you are making a bunch of ear wires for future use, this is a good place to stop. Make a bunch and throw them in your "ear wire box," connected like they are, until you need them.
9. When you're ready to use a pair of the ear wires, bend out the end loop a little bit and cut off the tip of the loop with wire nippers/flush cutters.
Do you have a great wire jewelry-making tip? Don't hold out on me--share it in the comments below!
This is possibly the slickest thing I have ever seen. It makes so much sense, but I never would have thought of it on my own. A million thank you's.
Hi Tammy -- This is the smartest, coolest trick in the book! I kept reading thinking why would anyone want to put double wires in their ears, and then voila! The solution! Perfect. And keeping them together until needed is also a great idea! Thank you so much.
That is quite simply brilliant. Thanks for sharing the tip.
I love this tip ,you are a rock on wire bender LOL
I was thinking like Sally. "Why would you want to put 2 wires through your ears? Then I got to the end and thought what an amazingly simple, absolutely perfect idea! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful technique.
I too was thinking "two ear wire thickness",...but then, the reveal - how cool is this. I'm going to try it to see if it will be as exact as I am able to get my pairs now - hopefully it will be as it would be a great time saver since I have an online store where I sell ear wires! I'll let you know how it stacks up! Thanks Tammy!!
Wonderful idea, and you did share when you found it...Love people who share
This is quite posssibly the best wire tip ever! Thanks for sharing!
That's a great system! Thanks for sharing!
Thank You SOooooo Much for sharing this tutorial.
I always agonize of making sure my ear hooks are identical.
Wonderfully simple......why didn't I think of this?????????
Blessings and (((Hugs)))
Halina in Australia
You're all welcome! I wish I'd thought of it, too. Brilliant!
Thanks for being part of JMD!
Regarding the little bend at the back of ear wires, it does help insure they stay on the ear, but I feel another reason it's done is to also make the ear wire more comfortable to wear. The small curve angles the end of the wire away from the back of the ear, which might otherwise poke and irritate. It may also actually help the wearer to aim the end of the ear wire toward the ear hole more easily than if the wire was left straight down.
Definitely a great time-saving tip, though!! So glad I joined JMD this year so I got to see it in the blog roundup! Thanks for sharing!!!
Absolutely brilliant - so simple yet so logical - thanks for sharing! :)
I can't thank you enough for sharing this tip with us - thank you, thank you, and thank youagain!!! I remember when I first saw this and thought, "Wow that's such a great idea!" And I have used it several times since then. Since that time, I have got some other neat ideas from you (you are so talented and have such great friends to share with us!) and I appreciate them all!
Thank you for all of your hard work!
Such kind comments, thank you all! I appreciate you being part of JMD and sharing in our community. Here's to a great new year of having fun and making jewelry!
Fantastic idea. Both earwires are identical and you can make them in all different sizes and shapes. Just draw your earwire design in MS Word and save. When you need a template to bend to just print it out and if you want it smaller or larger just re-size it in Word. Volia, 2 perfect earwires. Mandrels help.
This is genius. Thank you!
Thanks so much. Hmmmm, nice one.
I've made ear wires lots of different ways, but this tops them all. Thank you so much for sharing! I love the idea of keeping them paired together until needed. Saves on small plastic bags. Instead of using a Sharpie, I use my wire looping Wubbers.
WOW, Tammy and Eleanore, Thank you for sharing this! It will solve a lot of my frustration! However, I will add that 20-ga always seems to hurt my ears for some reason, so I'm a 22-ga user. Yes, it is more pliable, but my ears are happier in the long run!
Best tip ever
Awesome tip...thank you so much!!
Ah DAH!!! Why the heck didn't I think of that??? So simple, makes just oh so much sense! Thank you so VERY much!
so simple but beautiful
This is great. Thanks for reminding by posting again!

Personalized Learning | News
A Wisconsin school district with 9,200 students will be going full steam ahead with its implementation of a personalized learning program. To monitor student achievement, West Allis-West Milwaukee School District has adopted Mileposts from Silverback Learning Solutions.
Teachers use the cloud-based service to create personalized learning plans for their students, to manage interventions, monitor progress and gain insights about specific instructional approaches that seem to work for a particular student. The software integrates multimedia learning resources from Gooru, an open Web collection of resources posted by K-12 teachers that can be used as-is or mixed with their own lessons and shared.
The district chose Mileposts after a "thorough evaluation," said Superintendent Kurt Wachholz. This technology, he added, "will provide our community with a modern way to understand individual student achievement and collaborate around tailoring curriculum and learning resources to support, modify and improve their achievement throughout the year."
Silverback said in a statement that its software is in use in 18 other states. Among those customers are Bonneville Joint School District in Idaho and Southbridge Public Schools in Massachusetts.

BY MARICHU A. VILLANUEVA (The Philippine Star)
It's back to school, at least for most students, including my son who is taking up medicine. His twin brother also literally taking up higher education — he wants to become a pilot — is set to enrol in a flying school. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend one summer weekend vacation in Boracay where we used to go the past two years.
Actually, we were about to go to Boracay but changed our mind. This was after we were told a lot of horror stories of holiday revelers getting stranded in Caticlan airport. The summer months are the peak season in the famous island paradise for holiday revelers. So we did not dare go there this time.
When I was ready to give up going to Boracay, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines(CAAP) announced on Monday the lifting of the one-way rule on flights at the Caticlan airport, or officially called Godofredo P. Ramos Airport. The one-way rule limited landing from the sea and towards the hill at Caticlan airport, which more often than not, results to flights being diverted to Kalibo. In this case, passengers would have no choice but wait for their return flight the next day or go to Kalibo airport where it would take one-hour travel by land from Caticlan.
The two-way rule, on the other hand, allows an approach from the other end of the runway. The lifting of this one-way rule particularly favors the Boracay flights of the Cebu Pacific Air to land and take off from either end of the runway and minimize operational flight diversions to Kalibo. The Gokongwei-owned airline firm operates 13 daily flights to Caticlan from Manila and 11 times weekly from Cebu.
This CAAP ruling enables Cebu Pacific Air to deploy with more frequency its 72-seater ATR turboprop planes to ease passenger traffic. The other airlines servicing Boracay include SEAIR which has 20-seater capacity Dornier planes, and the Airphil Express, sister company of Philippine Airlines, flies their Bombardier aircraft which has 17 to 20 passenger capacity also.
Per the CAAP report, Caticlan airport records the highest number of landing and take-off among secondary airports in the country. It could reach a peak of 130 per day, the CAAP noted. Despite this piece of good news, CAAP director Alfonso Cusi admitted that the rather short runway at Caticlan still poses a serious concern for safety, especially during the rainy season when a wet runway could be dangerous to cause hydroplaning or skidding of the aircraft on landing.
This is why the whole "save Caticlan hill, save Boracay" campaign against the upgrading of the Caticlan airport by diversifying conglomerate San Miguel Corp. just doesn't make sense. The storylines paint the company like a raving, profit-hungry corporate juggernaut bent on earning from an airport construction deal at the expense of the environment.
This, after one government environment official, a certain Dr. Rick Javelosa was being quoted as having theorized that leveling Caticlan hill near the airport would result in harsh winds bringing heavy top soil to Boracay, making its shores muddy and killing tourism.
From my own inquiries into the matter, all these hullabaloos have got to do with the proposed Carabao Island International Airport that was originally intended to become the hub for the Boracay, Carabao and Romblon islands.
Coupled with a number of safety issues, including the island's strong, giant waves which would make the boat ride to Boracay more hair-raising than a dilapidated aircraft making do with a short runway, San Miguel did not pick up the offered alternative airport and instead turned its interest to Caticlan.
The same sources opined that the anti-Caticlan campaign is designed to make the Caticlan project look like it hit a big rock, presumably improving Carabao island's prospects. The fact that anti-Caticlan crusaders are spreading half-truths about the project, indicates there are special interests involved.
At the sidelines of SMC's recent stockholders' meeting, its president and COO Ramon Ang was quoted as saying there is no need to level the entire hill. They only need to shave a portion of it for aircraft safety purposes. Ang has also said it is not an international airport, thwarting insinuations that the project is illegal because it's too close to Kalibo International Airport. It will, however, meet international standards, he cited.
Even Dr. Javelosa's micro-climatic change theory seems irrelevant once put side by side with the exhaustive Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) commissioned by the provincial government of Aklan in 2004. Conducted over a period of one and a half years by a battery of experts in geology, hydrology, meteorology, air and nose, social development and various other relevant fields, the study says the project will have no negative impact whatsoever on Boracay.
This same EIA became the basis for the issuance of its Environment Compliance Certificate (ECC) from the DENR in 2006. The DENR recently upheld the validity of this ECC, which means the study is more scientifically sound than any theory.
What make sense is for San Miguel to protect and help develop Boracay, because its business depends on the island's success as a premiere tourist destination. Geez, I'm sounding like a public relations officer for San Miguel but they have highly paid consultants to do that job. Heck! All I want is to go to Boracay and be able to come back to Manila on the day I want to return home.
And to meet this traveler's basic requirement who want to go to Boracay, is hopefully addressed by this San Miguel project in Caticlan Airport to expand its runway, make it safer for planes, and upgrade airport services. Let them get on with that project pronto.

"I thought we did a great job tonight out rebounding by 12 when down there we give up 18 offensive rebounds and here they get 4, obviously we did a much better job there and we didn a much better job taking care of the ball. We had 13 turnovers and two of those were in the two minutes of the game when we were up sixteen. The two areas we struggled in would have been the foul line. Getting there 39 times was huge."
"The players and coaches are one and one in this deal with the new programs but it's not even close fan wise. Not even close and I think that is why the intensity is where it was. We had 17- 2 here and it was 6-2 there. We have the absolute best fans and I thought the fans did a tremendous job helping us with this game."
New Mexico State assistant coach John McMullen:
On Playing in The Pit:
"There is nothing like a crowd like this, when you have the fans sitting right on top of you and they are definitely very loud and the fans were as prepared as their team was. They were definitely a factor."
Thoughts on the game:
"I think we had some good play by several people and actually I thought they showed some real strong play and poise in the first half. I think when the second half got away from us a little bit and the crowd turned up the volume it became difficult and it certainly energized their players and they became very good in terms of their shooting and their execution. You have to tip your hats off to them for coming back as strong as New Mexico did after we had beaten them in Las Cruces."

Here is an article/interview with Sarah Silverman promoting her stand-up in British Columbia today.
Here is an article/interview with Sarah Silverman promoting her stand-up in British Columbia today.
What makes people calling the most beautiful, intelligent and most sensitive woman, who is for me
Sarah Silverman, a "potty mouth" ??? Have those people ever thought of themselves , who they are ? Isn´t it
fantastic, how Sarahh Silverman makes everybody look
into a mirror and recognizing one´s own faults ?! Is
it that what makes people calling her "potty mouth"?
In my eyes, she really is one of the greatest comedians
in these our times. She gave me so much joy , and I never would like to miss her again. I only wish,I could
see her live on stage – that Queen of Beauty and Goddess
of Comedy.Sarah, please, be proud of who YOU are.I only
would have one wish : When will the world get the wonderful message of Sarah expecting a baby of both of you – Jimmy and YOU ? I could imagine that you were a
wonderful mother as you already showed it in your clip
of the "poop song" with that little girl in the tub.
Furtheron, how was the performance in Richmond BC ?
How much I would have loved to come over. Has anybody
fortunately recorded it ?
I saw Sarah last night, she was amazing. I was in the second row for the later show – there was a lot of drunks, allowing Sarah to digress and rip them apart! It was quite the show. The opening act wasn't bad either…Anthony ______(can not remember last name)
Hi Benjamin, thanks a lot for your comment on Sarah´s performance last saturday night , and it made me sad not having had the chance to come over. So, I am dreaming further-more of seeing her live on stage.Can you please
tell me more details about the show, because you should know from my previous comment(s.a.), how much I love her , how
much I admire and adore her.She really is a Goddess of
Comedy and beside this, she is an uncomparable Person
of Spirit and Beauty , which really is unique. Surely
Jimmy Kimmel – her friend knows that.I think , SHE is
the absolute best creation of GOD – who- and wheresoever HE might be.
If there is any chance telling me more about this Goddess
Sarah Silverman , please, please do not hesitate of letting me know.I think , we are both into it, as SHE
was during the sketch "I love this cheese"…
Heaven thanks for this uncomparable creature od GOD AlMIGHTY, who created us all, and especially a person
like SARAH SILVERMAN.
I think, there could be peace on our planet, if there were more SARAH SILVERMAN´s in this inhuman bloody world and there were less George W.s ore Hitler´s. How about this: SARAH SILVERMAN for President of the US ???!!! Cleaning the world of all these bloody A..holes, who only want to make their own profits.
Thanks To SARAH, YOU are the President of a better world.
…. the things you say [HJR] are really creepy.
A restraining order appears to be in order…
what?! it's true..
I was at the late show on Saturday night in Richmond as well (I'm the guy that yelled to the JackFM chick to show us her tits). Sarah's stage presence was unbelievable! Her live show far surpassed any expectations I had, I now know why she's the hottest comedian in the world right now.
Too bad we didn't get to see SS in the casino after her show, had some wicked Bubba Kush to share with her.
en chile te ven tambien
happy eeh… wii
Take it easy, HJR!
Let´s be honest, she IS a potty mouth but of course her real fans know that she is also so much more.
No, ficklepickle SHE is not a potty mouth, may be a
very naughty mouth in some way ,but nevertheless a brilliant comedian and an uncomparable beautiful lady. Sure, all her fans know that she is soooo much more and if not a Goddess than at least somebody similar to a heavenly creature. And this combination do most of her real fans and friends
like so much on her – as far as I think.I think you also agree in this, don´t you ?!
eeh…yeah, sure, I agree. I´m gonna go build an altar for her right now.
Sarah's appearing at the Troubadour in LA on the 19th. It's a benefit for Hurricane Katrina – surprisingly there doesn't appear to be much word out on this.
Are you for real? You are just like these crazy fans, that black out and go insane when they saw their idols, about whom comics make fun of. And speaking about god and shit, you must be an idiot.
P.S! I just love that potty mouth, that's why I'm into stand-up.
Lovely little article and once again I'm struck by how she manages to be simultaneously razor-sharp and completely ingenuous.
I hope she's never lured into deconstructing her own humour the way everybody else seems to feel obliged to do (perhaps we need that to reassure us that it's OK to laugh at such 'off-colour' material?)
The smartest, sexiest, funniest woman I've never had the pleasure of meeting – long may her logorrhoea continue.
Hi K from Finland, I think it´s better to go heaven as an idiot than going to hell as an philosopher, right ?
So I think , we both do love SaSi no matter whether she is potty or naughty ???!!! I surely won´t get insane, that´s for sure,I simply admire the way how she does her
comics, and that is excellent, right ?!
Heaven or hell, what's the difference, these two exists only on the earth. But if you think that after death we go to one of them I choose living with philosophers than with idiots, what's the pleasure live in nice place rounded by idiots, then it's not heaven for me.
Hey K from Finland, I thinks it´s not even worth a joke whether idiots or philosophers… Believe what you want, heaven or hell, I don´t care at all. Maybe Sarah will perform a sketch about it or you. Wouldn´t that be nice?! So, enjoy as long as you are alive no matter if you are an idiot or philosopher or even something like got or shit. I only could say that I´m feeling pretty well, and that´s it , okay ?!
Heres a little song from Sarah her most awesome bad self would sing if she were here right now to HJR, hmmmmm "theres a hole in your butt where the doodie comes out and a hole in your face where your doodie comes out and if there wasn't would we even need soap then?"
Sarah is Awesome, you should go to Israel for the 60th. I wonder how they would react to you? I'm sure some would throw stones & protest, but most would love you, if they could understand what your saying. I was just there, they dont speak english, duhhh. You just assume that everyone knows english, but when you travel, no one knows english, so do you talk slooowwwwerrrrr, or smile and nod, or point, or look up a word on Wikipedia?
Sarah Rules!! Good Luck, and dont break your leg! Love Leah,
Hey Leah,thanks a lot for your moral teaching, but there is no need for that, and we ar not living in Israel nor in any other prude society. Sarah got the right to express all her thoughts the way she does, and
if you don´t like that, just switch to another medium, let´s say to fairy-tales. So enjoy your life with all the instruments you have available.
And one more serious question to you: Did you ever realize what men are singing about – on the net or anywhere else ? So,why should a beautiful lady like
SaSi hide ? Be proud that you are a wo-man as also Sarah is.And be sure, I surely won´t break my leg or anything else of my body. This is not an arrogance, but a normal
human behaviour and forthermore, I think life is too short than offending another person, but life without sometimes laughing about oneself is too sad either, whether man or woman.We all live one time only
How utterly arrogant of you to say that you won't break your leg, HJR. And just what exactly are men singing about on the net? Do tell.
Thanks for your compliment little Big Sergius.Your statement only proves that you don´t know nothing about
what´s going on on the net. I´m very proud of being called an "utterly arrogant" by sweet little Big Serge, who wants to be the "Big Serge" . Why don´t you spend the time with checking the net instead of writing utterly stupid statements in a normal forum regarding comics and
especially one comedian whose name is Sarah Silverman, got it ???
Got it!
WTF? Last time I checked Internet, it was huge, I will never see all the corners.
I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog
that's equally educative and interesting, and let me tell
you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy I came across this during my search for something relating to
Feel free to surf to my webpage; web page (Margherita)

What do you get when you cross American Idol with top-flight engineering student research?
This year's edition of the David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium, which is being held today from noon to 4:30 p.m. in the lobby of Packard Laboratory.
Each spring, the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science (RCEAS) holds the symposium to give student researchers the chance to display posters and present their work to a panel of professionals. Engineering students from Lafayette College will compete this year for the second time. The event is now in its sixth year under the guidance of Profs. Himanshu Jain and Wojtek Misiolek of Lehigh's department of materials science and engineering.
The panel of professionals chooses first-, second- and third-place winners. Each winner receives a stipend to travel to a conference.
This year the RCEAS is asking the campus community to help select the winner of the Symposium's new "People's Choice Award." Visitors can vote for their favorite poster between noon and 4 p.m.
Learning the art of communication
The goal of the symposium is to allow engineering students to showcase their research, network with peers and practice communicating their ideas in a manner that is accessible to general audiences.
Students create posters and prepare presentations with help from faculty advisers. The presentations are judged by academic and industry researchers for several criteria, including creativity, significance to an engineering problem, visual quality of the poster, and ability of the student to defend the research.
"The symposium provided an environment for me to learn proper industrial and academic research methods and a forum for sharing my findings with students, professors, staff and industrial visitors," said last year's third place winner, Corey Luthringer '09. "It helped me learn how to explain my research to an audience using a variety of skill sets and technical knowledge."
The symposium was endowed several years ago by Andrew D. Freed '83 in honor of his parents. Freed is a member of the RCEAS advisory board.
Symposium participants are nominated from each engineering field. This year's Lehigh competitors and their major fields (with faculty advisers in parentheses) are:
Michael DiRosato '10, Dan Faro '10 and Casey Parker '10, chemical engineering (Mark Snyder, Hugo Caram)
Kristen Falotico '11 and Alla Miroshnik '10, environmental engineering (Sibel Pamukcu)
David Gritz '11, information and systems engineering (Emory Zimmers)
Adam Kohn '11, materials science and engineering (Raymond Pearson)
Phoebe Lai '10, industrial engineering (Aurelie Thiele)
Whitney Levine '10 and Eric Wasserman '10, computer science and engineering (Xiaolei Huang)
Carolyn Scott '10, bioengineering (Sabrina Jedlicka)
Edward Stilson '11 and Luke Yoder '11, mechanical engineering and mechanics (Joachim Grenestedt)
Jordan Warncke '10, civil engineering (Clay Naito)
Alexander Wendt '10, electrical engineering (Nelson Tansu)

At this point, if you still think there really are people who are experts at picking stocks, I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
But I'm going to pile it on with even more irrefutable evidence that stock picking experts don't exist, and if you're paying someone to actively manage your investments, you're losing out.
Enter: college students flipping coins.
As described by Index Funds Advisors:
In a study by Walter Good and Roy Hermansen, a hypothetical coin flipping experiment was compared to mutual fund manager performance. Three-hundred college students were asked to guess the outcome of 10 coin tosses. Their guesses were tabulated and charted. The performances of 300 mutual fund managers were then tabulated for 10 years (1987 to 1996) from Morningstar Principia.
So basically, here's what happened:
- 300 college students guessed whether heads or tails would come up in 10 coin flips
- 300 mutual fund managers had their performance tracked over a 10 year period
- the students' correct guesses were charted against the number of years the managers were in the top 50% of all managers
And not surprisingly, here are the results:
They're nearly identical.
So in this case, it's a tie. And when the guy who's managing your investments can't beat a college kid guessing heads/tails, it's not good news.
