Official Chick-fil-A Bowl press conference
December 18, 2013
Stokan, Hyman & Sumlin meet the media
Chick-fil-A Bowl president & CEO Gary Stokan's introduction...Stokan: "I should say 'Howdy!' If I can, first, I'm going to talk a little bit about the criteria for the selection, about our bowl game — because I know in this area, being in the SEC for the second year, to give you an idea of what the bowl game's all about — and talk about the matchup.
"I want to welcome back Kevin Sumlin, who played in the Peach Bowl at Purdue, and Eric Hyman, who was with us in 2010 when South Carolina played Florida State. We have two ranked teams with Duke and Texas A&M and that's big, not just for TV but for the fans as well. Having a top-10 offense makes for an exciting bowl game. Losing to #2, #3 and #8 by only a few points, they played a tough schedule, and it's the No. 2-rated football brand this year for TV ratings, and also Johnny Manziel, the Heisman Trophy winner. I'd also like to mention players that won All-American or all-conference honors this year in Jake Matthews, Mike Evans and Drew Kaser, and others I'm sure I'm forgetting.
"We'll pay $7.4 million dollars this year, which puts us over $125 million all time that the Chick-fil-A has played. We're the ninth-oldest bowl game in the country. In November we announced our sellout; we've sold out 17 straight bowls, second only to the Rose Bowl, and last year we were second only to the BCS games with eight-and-a-half million people viewing our game on ESPN on New Year's Eve.
"This will be our last guaranteed contract between the ACC and SEC, so the heat's on Texas A&M. Fifty-six percent of our games have been decided by a touchdown or less. We've had great matchups and we hope this one will be as well. Texas A&M is playing for three straight bowl wins for the first time in a storied football history; the winner of this game probably ends up in the top 15 in the final ratings.
"As we move forward as a bowl, we'll be moving into the College Football Playoffs as one of six bowls that will rotate the semifinal games every few years. We've also been restarting the kickoff games and we hope one day we could have Texas A&M come back to Atlanta for one of our kickoff games.
"Lastly, we founded the vision to move the new college football Hall of Fame to Atlanta, which will open next August. We were the first sponsor; the bowl put $5 million into it to get it started.
"Let's talk about the bowl experience. Everything we do is for our players. We know we're not the national championship game; the players are the ones that play in this game. Our philosophy is live, laugh and learn. These players get the opportunity to stay in great hotels, eat great food like Chick-fil-A, play in a great facility and just be treated first class. We have a battle for bowl week where there's a family feud to end the night. Every night we'll have a separate competition from Dave & Buster's to which offensive line can make the fastest milkshake, and we have a WWE belt we actually give to the team that wins that.
"On Friday, December 20th, at the Chick-fil-A on Highway 6 we'll have a spirit day that will include the Yell Leaders, Aggie Dance Team and Aggie Hostesses. Our mission as a bowl game is to be the most charitable bowl game in the country. This year it will be $1.6 million dollars that could fall in our bottom line but we give it back to the community of Atlanta because they've helped this bowl game thrive. We've given $15 million to scholarships since 2002, which is a record for bowl games, and we will donate a $100,000 endowed scholarship to Texas A&M for participating in our bowl, and we'll do the same with Duke.
"If you'll download the Chick-fil-A Bowl app, there's all kinds of information and discounts for our fan-fest, where we'll probably have 40,000 people at that fan-fest. Both teams will walk between their fans there and to the Georgia Dome for the game."
Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman: "Gary, thank you very much. We are extremely excited to go to the Chick-fil-A Bowl. I go all the way back to the days of the Peach Bowl. It's a chance for the A&M brand to go east; it's a chance to get into a venue that's hosted Super Bowls. I've known Gary an extended period of time — the hospitality and service for the team and fans is second to none. It's an extraordinary experience and I think our players and coaches can walk away having really enjoyed the experience. I think we'll have a wide cross-section of people that will really enjoy being in Atlanta. They have the Coca-Cola Museum, the aquarium, CNN headquarters.
"Also to talk about Duke, not a lot of people know about Duke. I will tell you, this is one of the best teams they've ever had and it's a tremendous reflection on Coach Cutcliffe. Nothing but the utmost respect for him and everything he's done. Duke is playing on a high level; some people around here may not be familiar with them, but don't let it fool you.
"I am a little disappointed with John from the Chick-fil-A Bowl because I quizzed him on how many Chick-fil-A's are in the State of Texas and he didn't know. It's 294. We're very excited to play in your bowl and we've got a heck of a competition; Gary did mention the time slot, it's on New Year's Eve and won't have competition. It'll get ratings. Seventy percent of the population of America is east of the Mississippi and it's a chance to get into the heart of SEC country."
Texas A&M head football coach Kevin Sumlin: "There's not a lot more I can say. We're extremely excited to accept this invitation and both of you hit it right on the head. The chance to expand our brand east, for our fan base and our players to be somewhere we haven't been, and a chance to be in Atlanta, which also hosts our conference championship and will move to the College Football Playoff series ... hopefully we can gain some experience here and come back.
"There's a lot of positives. We're excited to be there and play a team like Duke. They've won a bunch of close football games and they're playing with confidence because of that. Coach Cutcliffe has done a great job, particularly this year; they're playing with a lot of confidence and we have to match that.
"The time slot is a real added plus for us, being on New Year's Eve. It's been a while since I've been there; I go back to the Peach Bowl also, back in those days. Hopefully the outcome will be different for me as a coach than it was as a player. We're looking forward to it."
On practice schedules...
Sumlin: "We do it in a couple different phases. We have a developmental phase for our young players, which will really end today. We've had roughly five, six, seven practices with those young guys. After the season we had we gave them a couple weeks off and put them in a strength and conditioning program because of the wear and tear of a long season. This will be the last day of that.
"We try to have two game weeks, replicate the game week with one here on campus and one when we get to Atlanta. Basically tomorrow will be a Monday practice for a game week and we'll let them go early on Sunday, fly to Atlanta, meet up in Atlanta for a team meeting on Christmas night, and our guys will enjoy two Christmases — one with their family, one with their team and coaches — and we'll practice in the Georgia Dome. It'll be a great experience.
"It gives us an opportunity to insert a game plan twice. When you get to a bowl site, hotels and logistics are a bit different and it's more recall at that point than it is anything else."
On having a recruiting presence in Georgia and this game helping...
Sumlin: "Based on the list of the 2015s that I was just looking at in the Atlanta area, yes, we want to have a really good presence there. We haven't been over there as much, we have some guys on our staff that have recruited that area. You're talking about the State of Georgia and greater Atlanta area, you're talking about great student-athletes. Also, the New Year's Eve time slot gives you a chance to showcase Texas A&M and our program and university to everybody across the world.
"There are two positives in this — expanding our footprint east and being in the Georgia and Atlanta area, and being unopposed in the time slot, it's a good combination."
Stokan: "To add to that, Georgia is the number one recruiting base per capita in the country, and No. 2 in the SEC. There's a lot of A&M graduates in the metro Atlanta area as well, and they're coming out of the woodwork to come to this game."
On why Hyman believed in Sumlin to give him the contract...
Hyman: "You look at the excitement, the momentum, the enthusiasm that the program under his tutelage has generated, there's a wide cross-section of people in Aggieland that are so appreciative of the job he's done and the future's in good shape. This is a long-term commitment to Coach Sumlin and there's no question about that. The people of Aggieland feel it's worth their football coach; his focus is on the student-athlete and that resonates with a lot of people."
On his new contract...
Sumlin: "I couldn't be more appreciative, and it speaks to the University's commitment to us and our commitment to the University. We've got a ways to go with what we're doing, but what it says is people believe we're on the right track. You look around this building and what's going on with Kyle Field and what's coming down the road, it shows a commitment to all our athletic programs and particularly football. All those things together show a tremendous amount of commitment to where the program is headed. And I'm extremely appreciative of that."
On Johnny Manziel's potential last game...
Sumlin: "I'm not going to reflect on that until it is his last game. All I can tell you is what he's done for the University up to this point. It's well-documented. His numbers speak for themselves. He is without a doubt the most exciting player in America. Kirk Herbstreit said, 'When you turn on television on Saturday, he's the guy you want to watch.' That's the biggest vote of confidence you can give a player."
On how the team looks from a health standpoint...
Sumlin: "We're doing ... well. How's that? [Laughter.] No probably-probables or maybe-maybes. We've got a week and a half to go before we get to the time where we have to start worrying about whether guys are going to play or not."
On the team's mental frame after the season's end...
Sumlin: "The way this season has gone, we gave them a couple weeks off and we've been gone. I like our energy level right now. Guys have come back healthy, there's a bounce in their step; we were worn down mentally and physically at the end.
"You just heard Gary talk about how, if we can win this game, it'll be the first time in the history of this program we've won three bowl games in a row. That's significant. There's been a lot of football games played and a lot of guys come through this room who can't say they've done that. That can be real special for our seniors and it can really propel us in the offseason."

A new honorific designation, University Professor, has been created for USF faculty who exemplify the university's vision and mission through teaching, research, and service. (File photo)
Administrators at the University of San Francisco have created an
honorific designation intended to commend faculty who have made
exceptional contributions to realizing the university's core values.
University Professor title is meant to recognize full-time faculty
members who have demonstrated an ongoing and outstanding dedication to
fulfilling USF's vision and mission of promoting learning in the Jesuit
Catholic tradition through diversity, social responsibility, and
academic rigor in their teaching, research, and service. The honorific
designation, to be granted infrequently, is not part of USF's
negotiated faculty title and pay scale.
"While it is expected
that all faculty contribute to USF's vision, mission, and values, the
designation will honor faculty with a record of sustained and noted
excellence in the areas of teaching, research, and service," said USF
Provost James Wiser.
USF's president will name University
Professor honorees, following a review of nominations by USF's academic
deans. Nominations may come from any source.

Only Erica Could Get Arrested in a Ball GownTuesday, February 19 2008
Erica learns the charges against her - and then makes things worse. Kendall actually takes the pregnancy test. Annie gives Ryan an ultimatum. Jesse and Angie make love.
Erica is stunned when the reporters question her about the arrest. Sam says she is being arrested for insider trading! Jack follows, telling Erica to keep quiet. Trying to save the show, Kendall, Aidan and Zach hold off the reporters. Pam says they are off the air and everyone sighs in relief. Greenlee invites everyone to the after-party at conFusion and Babe offers to get them limos. Greens grabs Annie, who is focused on Ryan, and asks her to make sure Amanda and the girls talk up the fashion show and not Erica's arrest. Ryan makes his way to Kendall but Zach intercepts him and tells him to go to conFusion! Zach tells Ryan that Kendall doesn't need him - Annie does. Then he goes over to Kendall who is nearly hyperventilating. He tells her things will be okay. JR distracts Ava with news that a "good looking rich dude" is looking for her and then grabs Babe to talk about their poker bet. Annie sees a few stragglers and offers to take them to the party. Greenlee corners Aidan and tells him they have to find a way to de-stress Kendall; he says he may have added to the problem by asking her about the pregnancy. Greens is stunned that he asked about it. Kendall comes over to tell Greenlee they have to get the fashion show squared away and then says she'll talk about everything else later. She and Greenlee grab the remaining stragglers and head them toward conFusion. Zach is watching Ryan very closely; Ryan is watching Kendall, hoping for an opening to talk to her and Annie is watching them all.
Several reporters and photographers have followed Erica to the stationhouse. Jack is there and so is Derek. Jack says this is her fault because she didn't pay enough attention to her money-men; Erica says Jack should have found out earlier about Sam's real purpose in her life. Sam walks in and Erica turns her anger on him. She has her mug shot taken. In the interrogation room Sam and Jack argue about whether Erica will see the inside of a prison cell. Sam is certain that Erica will be behind bars very soon. Jack says Sam is only grandstanding and goes to get Erica, who insists on seeing Sam right away. Jack takes her into the interrogation room and tells her to keep her big mouth shut. Erica angrily fires Jack! Sam comes into the room and Erica offers to give him her full support in the upcoming Senate campaign if he will re-open her case! Meanwhile, Jack and Derek are chatting in the main squad room. Derek asks what is going on and Jack tells him that Erica has gone off on her own - again! Jack watches for a few more minutes and then can't stand the suspense. He charges inside and asks what is going on now. Sam leaves to talk to the DA. Erica tells Jack she and Sam struck a deal. Just then Sam returns with an updated indictment - that includes attempted bribery of a public official!
JR and Babe are among the first to arrive at conFusion. He flirts with her but she is busy keeping the guests talking about the fashion show. After a while, her duties over, Babe and JR leave together. Colby, Ava and Amanda arrive, comparing Erica to Martha Stewart. Kendall, Zach, Greenlee and Aidan are next. Kendall wants to leave the party to help Erica but Zach points out that Erica has Jack and Kendall needs to keep the photographers and reporters happy here. The men buy drinks; Kendall asks Greenlee why she told Aidan. Greens says the secret was just too juicy to keep. She tells Kendall to just take the test already but Kendall is afraid. At the bar, Zach asks the bartenders to put up Fusion logos on the televisions instead of running the coverage on Erica. They return to Kendall and Greenlee. The four-some chat for a bit and then Aidan and Greenlee go to the bar for a little alone time. Annie and Ryan arrive; he talks about how tough the night has been for Kendall. Annie says it was rougher on Erica. She follows him, noticing that he is completely obsessed with what Kendall is doing. They join Kendall's table and Annie makes a not-so-veiled toast to everyone moving on. Ryan grabs her and leads her away from the table. Angrily, she asks if he is just conning her to get out of their marriage! He admits that he remembers being a con-man but swears he wants to remember her. "I don't think you do," she says and storms off. She runs into Zach, who hugs her and says things will be fine. With Annie distracted, Ryan makes a beeline for Kendall's table. She is alone and he reaches out to her, holding her hand and talking about Spike. Kendall doesn't like this and walks away. Annie comes over and asks if he is ready to go; Ryan says no and she angrily walks away. Zach comes over and asks what Ryan is trying to prove. Ryan tells Zach to stop reminding him that Annie is his wife and walks off. Kendall meets Greenlee at the bar and decides she has to take the test. Greenlee leaves and Aidan asks Kendall if she is avoiding the test because the child might be his! Kendall hurries away. She goes to the bathroom and takes the test. "Please let it be negative," she says, crying. Zach, meanwhile, asks Aidan and Greenlee if they know where Kendall is.
Ryan finally returns home to find Annie in a negligee. Before he can say anything Annie says she is tired of his excuses but wanted him to see, one more time what he is missing. Then she points toward the door where several suitcases are packed. She tells him to get out!
Jesse tries to leave the cabin but Angie, crying, locks the door and asks him what happened 20 years ago. She lights a candle as Jesse sits down. He tells her what he remembers about "dying". "I woke up in this room, not dead, and tied up," he says. Jesse remembers being questioned by strangers about things he never knew the answers to and being beaten when he couldn't answer. He says he can't trust the rest of the world to keep her safe and that if she knows any more she could be hurt. He holds her as she cries. Angie lifts his shirt and sees some of the scars on his back. Jesse picks up his coat but Angie grabs it from him. Unable to resist her, Jesse kisses her. Before it can go further Jesse backs away, telling Angie this isn't a safe place any more. She tells him the cabin is always their safe place and begs him to stay with her for the night. Jesse gives in and they make love. After, Angie gently touches Jesse's back and asks what happened.

First Look: All of the Cocktails at Tribune Tavern, Oakland CA
Downtown Oakland gets quiet on the weekends. The work week crowd, dispersed to Lake Merritt, Temescal, and Berkeley, leaves the streets more or less empty, and many of the restaurants closed. But tucked under the towering Oakland Tribune building lies a new cocktail destination, harkening back to the hard drinking, three-martini lunch days of newspaper glory. More

Consultant: Arizona governor's race should prove interesting
PHOENIX -- The most wanted job in Arizona next year could be the governor's office and political observers cannot wait to watch it unfold.
State Treasurer Doug Ducey and Secretary of State Ken Bennett are among a growing group of Republicans who want the governor's job.
Stan Barnes with Copper State Consulting said he expects at least one more prominent name to throw his hat in the ring.
"The Mesa mayor (Scott Smith) has a lot of positives going on. He will be top tier, there's no doubt. I believe he's going to run, it's just a matter of timing."
And Barnes said the Democratic side of the race is formidable with former President Clinton aide Fred DuVal running and possibly state lawmaker Chad Campbell jumping into the mix.
"The Democrats are energized and the candidates are glib, articulate, smart and have proven abilities."

The hallmark feature of the benchmark is hardware tessellation, a scalable technology aimed to automatically subdivide polygons into smaller and finer pieces, which brings drastically more detailed and elaborated look to games.
There are three tessellation modes available in this version of the benchmark:
Moderate ModeThis mode is targeted to provide reasonable performance on a wide range of DX11 hardware.
Normal ModeDefault mode available in the benchmark shows optimal quality-to-performance ratio. This is the way to achieve prominent visual enhancement with hardware tessellation technology.
Extreme ModeIt is designed to meet the perspectives of the next series of DX11-capable hardware pushing up the tessellation level to the extreme in the next 1-2 years.
The basic version of Heaven DX11 Benchmark is available free of charge for download from the official website.

On New Girl, Lamorne Morris' Winston is a pretty smooth guy, current status as a "manny" notwithstanding. Which is why we were surprised to learn that in real life, the actor has zero sense of style and a rather weird sense of what's sexy, at least according to him. He showed up on the red carpet of the NewNowNext Awards looking laid-back and handsome in a lavender shirt, light-gray blazer with white piping and black jeans, but took no credit for his outfit when he spoke to our own Kate Spencer.
"I cannot dress myself," he admitted. "If it were up to me, I would be wearing a diaper and a tank top. Maybe a Mr. T gold chain. Maybe some brass knuckles. Maybe a tattoo on my face. I don't know. I am the worst dresser in the world. Maybe a diamond-studded condom. I have no idea what I would have been wearing."
Hold on. Did he just say "diamond-studded condom"? Ow.
"Diamond condoms are all the rage," Morris continued, clearly on a roll. "Reusable condoms. Condoms with zippers on it. Look, I'm going to patent this idea. You heard it here first: Diamond studded condoms, reusable condoms with a ziplock seal, maybe a zipper for her pleasure or his pleasure, depending on who you're doing with the condom. If this can air, that would be great so when someone tries to do it I can sue the hell out of them."
Double ow.
By the way, when you watch the video above, New Girl fans, you might notice that his way of speaking in lists sounds a lot more like Schmidt than like Winston. Maybe they have all started to talk like each other after spending all that time together. That thought warms our heart and almost makes us forget this zipper idea. Almost.

Employment Verification Services
Sterling's global network of employment verification experts, combined with its streamlined approach, enable you to make the right hiring decisions. Employment verification services offered by our ScreeningDirect online portal provide the most accurate results with the fastest turnarounds, securely and privately, in real-time forming an important part of our background employment screening services.
Quick Links:
Employment Verification Services: Military | DOT Verification | Education |
Personal & Professional Reference Verification | Professional License Check & Certificate Verification
Applicants falsify information on resumes and applications more than 40% of the time.
Sterling conducts interviews with past employers and former supervisors to obtain a comprehensive employee verification and assessment of work history and capabilities. Our technology enables clients to furnish specific questions they want our professionals to ask when conducting the interview, or they can use our standard questions already programmed in our system.
Military Employment Verification
Sterling ensures the quality of your candidate by verifying their military record. We verify the military branch and dates of service by accessing the Military Record Repository, contacting a VA hospital directly or contacting the applicant for a DD214 Form.
Employment Verification Services - Driving History
For our DOT clients, we ensure your applicants are ready to operate your company vehicle by verifying their transportation history. We examine and verify their general performance for previous work, ask questions related to safe vehicle operation, accident history, history of substance abuse from a detailed background check perspective. All questions contained on the DOT verification request form comply with DOT regulations.
Education Verification
Unfortunately, inflating education credentials is a common practice. Sterling offers background screening services by verifying dates of attendance, course or study, degree, or credential received and the date the degree, or credential, was awarded. This may include GED, high school diploma, college or advanced degrees.
Personal & Professional Reference Check
Former supervisors, former co-workers or friends who provide information about your applicant are somewhat more subjective than normal performance questions included on an employee verification. Sterling ensures the information provided by those references is accurate in identifying the correct candidate as a part of our employment verification services.
Professional License Check & Certification Verification
Sterling's other popular employment background check service is professional license verification and certificate check. These verifications encompass a wide, and ever-growing, list of verifications, including but not limited to: MD, RN, LPN, CPA, JD, stock broker, teacher, stationary engineer, pilot, and so on.
Sterling has designed our professional license employee verification to verify:
- The applicant is licensed to practice the specified occupation
- Issuing state or agency
- Issue date
- Expiration date
- Status of license

Remembering Eydie Gorme
by Judy Cantor-Navas | August 14, 2013
Eydie Gorme was best known to U.S. audiences for swinging with her husband, Steve Lawrence. But the songstress, who died on August 10 at age 84, was also a legend in Latin America. A bilingual, Sephardic Jewish girl from New York, Gorme first recorded in Spanish in 1964 with Mexico's Trio Los Panchos. That song, "Amor," was a hit, leading to many more Spanish recordings and a pioneering crossover career that produced beloved versions of standards like "Sabor a Mi," "Contigo en la Distancia" and "Esta Tarde Vi Llover." Her recordings with Trio Los Panchos would outsell her popular English albums, and she even had her own Spanish-language radio show, "Cita con Eydie," broadcast to Latin America by Voice of America. The great Eydie Gorme has gone, but her voice lives on in these songs, a legacy that resounds with generations of Spanish speakers and global Latin music lovers.

I just installed my new server, but I have some troubles about usb drivers.
I have a gigabyte GA-F2A85XM-D3H, with native AMD usb 3.0 ports (confirmed by the gigabyte hotline).
In the device manager, there are two unknown Universal "Serial Bus (USB) Controller" with PID VEN_1022&DEV_7812
I tried installing/desinstalling gigabyte, then amd all-in one chipset drivers without succes.
Finally, I tried to manualy add the driver, using C:\AMD\Support\13-1_vista_win7_win8_32-64_sb\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\USB30\W764A\amdxhc.inf file but I got an error:" The folder you specified doesn't contain a sfotware compatible.....make sure it is designed to word with windows x64-based system".
I tested all the folders in the USB3.0 directory.
Does anybody have the same troubles?
And a solution?

2015 Lexus RC F and BMW M4 basically tie on racetrack
The new 2015 Lexus RC F sport-coupe is a leap forward by Lexus. The IS F sedan was a very capable track car, but the RC F is at a whole new level.

The Mini brand has found a comfortable niche here in the United States, and it won't be long before a plug-in model is introduced.
Surely one of the more surprising revelations of the 2014 Paris Motor Show last week was the announcement that Chrysler will introduce a plug-in hybrid minivan in late 2015, about a year earlier th
Earlier this year we had the chance to sample the 2015 BMW 228i on an autocross course set up by BMW.
OK, look down at the comments under the story or in the section on FB where you found this story. See all those folks calling me dumb for testing a coupe vs. a sedan?
The 2014 BMW Championship tournament concluded at Cherry Hill Country Club in Colorado on Sunday, and Rory McIlroy didn't win on the scorecard.
Lexus is launching the 2015 RC F sports coupe in late October in the US market.
In the month of August BMW's new i3 electric vehicle (EV) passed the Tesla Model S in US sales. One year ago Tesla was one of the top-selling EVs in the country.
Lexus outsold all its rivals in the US in the month of August, returning to the number one spot among premium automakers.
BMW i3 owners are openly praising the car's forward crash prevention system (FCP).
In case anyone still doubted BMW's commitment to electric vehicles, hear this: announced at the Plug-In 2014 conference in San Jose, the German premium automaker has partnered with Bosch to release
New owners of the BMW i3 with a range extender, called the REx, are reporting an interesting new trend.
While driving in a 2013 BMW X3 recently, the coolant level alarm appeared on our screen. It advised that the driver should immediately refill the coolant level.
The newest US electric car entry, the BMW i3, is beginning to give us some insight into the evolution of the greenest of green cars.
BMW i3 owners are a brave lot. Not only are they buying the first model year of a car, they are buying a car that is more advanced than pretty much any car in the world.

Cantor reacts to Ingraham's Taliban comment
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor reacted Sunday to conservative radio host Laura Ingraham's joking suggestion that President Barack Obama should have traded Cantor for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, instead of the five Taliban leaders previously held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"Instead of sending five Taliban MVPs over there, he could have just traded one Eric Cantor," Ingraham said at a rally earlier this month for Cantor's opponent, Dave Brat, according to Breitbart News.
On ABC's "This Week," Cantor said Ingraham's suggestion "cheapens the debate."
(WATCH: Sunday show recap in 90 seconds)
"That suggestion that I should be traded to the Taliban for Sgt. Bergdahl really is not a serious contribution to any public-policy debate," Cantor said, explaining that he doesn't think those who identify as part of the tea party "reflect that kind of notion."
Cantor acknowledged, however, "there is a divide within" the Republican Party.

Hi people,
Well my HOF banquet is over. I had a blast reliving the good ole days.
I didn't make weight, though. I was supposed to weigh 250 by then, but I only got to 253 pounds. Oh well at least I hit the 50-pound plateau!
My next official weigh in is May 16th so maybe I'll be there by then. Once this baseball season is over I'll get back on a solid routine. I hope that's after June 4, which means we are in the state championship!
I want to give a shout-out to my daughter Kelsey and her 4x400 relay team from Perkins for winning their race at the Jr. High SBC track meet. Good job girls!

It's all learning by doing...
- My first experience with climate negotiations
My insights into the world of Climate Change negotiations started inBrusselsin October 2011, where a bunch of young people met to prepare for COP17. WAGGGS had organized for me to attend and everyone was there as part of YOUNGO (what's that? See the box below!).
I was, and I still am, a novice in climate negotiations. Luckily, many of the others were very experienced, and they were happy to pass on their knowledge to novices like me. Some advices were easy to grasp (plan your day in advance, check your email, don't wear heels, know your acronyms). However, the whole spirit of the negotiations and how they work is just really hard to grasp…
Once again, good old Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting techniques were effective. I was happy to experience that they are also used in YOUNGO. Thus, I suddenly found myself in the middle of the negotiations at COP16. Or more precisely, it was a simulation of them, where all novices like me played YOUNGO and the experienced people played negotiators. Now I know what to do, and what not to do. Some things I remember:
- Don't panic when you meet important people in the hall – take advantage!
- Prepare speaking points to be able to take advantage of those unexpected meetings
- Don't be late for important meetings
- We are young people, and we should not hide this fact … Act young!
- But still, we must respect the basic rules of the game
After our weekend inBrussels, I am still a novice in climate negotiations. But I am a slightly better prepared novice and the additional online training that I receive from WAGGGS directly helps a lot too. Now I am a novice ready for much more learning by doing in Durban in a few weeks!
Mia, WAGGGS Youth Delegate at COP 17 from Denmark
YOUNGO: There is a huge amount of NGO's who wants to influence the climate negotiations. What happens is that they are put together in official groups which are called constituencies. Apart from the youth constituency (YOUNGO) there are others like the Business NGOs (BINGO), the Trade Unions (TUNGO), the Environmental NGOs (ENGO) and so on. The constituencies need to be approved by the UN Member States to be part of the negotiations and this official status gives the constituency a 'place at the negotiation table'.
In YOUNGO, WAGGGS can work together with other organisations for young people. That means that being part of YOUNGO allows us, the Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in WAGGGS, to join something bigger and thus gain more influence than we could alone. This reminds me of the Guiding method. I would think of YOUNGO as our patrol. We work together to be heard and respected and participate in decision-making.
During the weekend, we also worked on strategies for what young people should try to change in Durban

What I love about record stores here in Seattle is their willingness to showcase musicians who would not otherwise be recognized by their CD covers. To include, not only aisles upon aisles of music, but to put a face to their voices. Growing up in Alaska as a child of the 1980's and as a pubescent teenager during the 1990's, I remember going weekly — if not daily — to Musicland, the only "cool" record store in our town.

Sunscreen Recommendations anyone?
I know all the virtues of sunscreen and hurray summer is here full blast! Last year I went with Neutrogena SPF 45 for my daughter, but just last week for some reason I applied some on myself. It felt sticky and hot and unpleasant on my skin. (and yes, I did check the expiry date)And my sunscreen applied fingers happened to touch my eyes for a second and my eyes burned and burned. I am sure a 2 yr old will touch her eyes, etc while playing.
Now is this just the way all suncreens are? Any recommendation from all you other moms about which brand I should use? I have seen Coppertone. BananaBoat, Neutrogena, Aveeno, and a many other brands in the stores. Is any one brand better than others? Other than SPF is there anything I should check in a suncreen before buying?
(This post is by SJ of A Pinch of Spice. )

Just now I bought a Baby Aveeno. Last year I used something (maybe Coppertone) but that used to give S rashes sometimes
Since her ped had recommended Baby Aveeno for her as her moisturizer because she has a little sensitive skin, I decided to go back to Aveeno Suncreen for her this year

I bought Baby Aveeno too and use it on myself as well. Its great. It was SPF 55.

Banana Boat is quite good too. And it's water resistant as well. Ideal for swimming.

- Asha said...
I used Banana Boat Spf 15 once.I don't bother with the sun screen much as we don't sun bathe.A light sun screen when we are out and about in the Sun would suffice.Just my experience.
You have to re apply every time when they come out of the pool even if it is water proof.
- May 21, 2007 at 7:54 AM
- trupti said...
Both Aveeno and Banana Boat are good brands, I prefer Coppertone Kids "Spray and Play" spray because it has an SPF-30,is waterproof and is also protective against UVA-UVB rays.....and of course, if going in the sun longterm...sunglasses and hats are a must.
Getting the sunscreen for Sensitive Skin is also an option if you experience any discomfort.

Hi I love the mustela brand of sunblock for my babies/now toddlers. Its completely mineral based Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide with no harsh chemicals that burn or sting. http://www.mustelausa.com/sun_lotion_50.html
Even if you cannot find Mustela in your drugstore (which i have found usually only in specialty baby shops) look for sunblock with Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide as it is mineral based and a skin blocker rather than chemicals that penetrate the skin.
Thats what our pediatrician recommended and it works really well! Hope it helps.
- May 21, 2007 at 11:28 AM
- SJ said...
Thanks - all of you for the tips. I'll try baby Aveeno or the Mustela and see if it feels any better.

there was another topic on this last month. do check that too for more recommendations.:)
i use aveeno baby sunblock lotion for my 3 yr old and i love it. it has spf 55,fragrance-free and waterproof. it is very good for her sensitive skin. i also aveeno moisturiser for the little one.
is "other" option in comments disabled here now?

The Natural History Museum invited a contemporary Chinese artist from Shanghai to be its first international artist-in-residence for the Images of Nature gallery.
The focus of the residency was to research the John Reeves collection and, in response to it, create new artwork to be displayed in the gallery.
View examples of the artwork produced by the contemporary artist during his residency. He wishes to remain unnamed, like the draughtsmen who created the works commissioned by Reeves.
Four Tomatoes
Watercolour on paper, 2010.
Inspired by a drawing of a lizard from the John Reeves collection, the contemporary Chinese artist has transformed this tomato stalk into a dynamic, reptilian form.
Colour pencil on paper, 2010.
This drawing is the first that the Chinese artist in residence created in London. The work features objects found in a supermarket and refers to the underlying economic interests behind European collecting in China during the 1800s.
Memorialise Memory
Video projection, 2010
The installation commemorates John Reeves and the Chinese draughtsmen he commissioned. It includes 2 handmade cherry-wood boxes and acknowledges the process and collaboration between Reeves and the Chinese artisans, known and unknown.
The original draughtsmen, Akut, Akam, Akew and Asung, named by Reeves in his notebook, and others that remain anonymous, worked under his instructions in the studios near the foreign factories in Canton.
Bergit Arends, Curator of Contemporary Art at the Museum explains that working with an artist really means engaging with the cultural scene around Reeves' work.
As part of his residency, the artist '… spends time here at the Museum, then he goes back to the studio and produces drawings,' Bergit tells us. 'What he's drawn can be inspired by either the Reeves collection, or by any objects he finds on his way to the studio, or while going shopping.'
It is clear to the contemporary Chinese artist that, although Reeves commissioned local Chinese artisans to record what animal and plants looked like accurately, the images are unmistakably works of art as well as valuable natural history documents. He points to the style, the colours, shapes, details and arrangements of specimens in the images.
Working with the collection, the artist also became interested in how the artisans who created the images were acknowledged. Because nothing other than a short list of nicknames is known about them, he decided 'to make [a] memorial, to help people to remember something. Not only Reeves, also the unknown artisans.'
The Museum's international artist research residency programme was delivered in partnership with Gasworks, a contemporary art organisation in London.

Lucy recants her sworn statment! Iris drops by for an unexpected visit. Lily discovers lipstick on the collar of Holden's shirt! Jade lies to Lily!
At Will's place, Gwen asks him how his GED test went. He snaps, asking her to stop. Shocked, she asks him what's going on, reminding him they made a deal to be honest with each other. "Do you have a problem with what I'm doing?" Gwen questions. "Yeah, I do," he replies. Confused, she says she thought that's what he wanted for her. He replies, saying he wanted that for the both of them, but now he feels everything is moving too fast.
Later, Will apologizes, admitting he sounds like a "selfish idiot." He goes on to say he really is excited for her. She admits he's right, saying the record thing is going a little too fast. He asks what she means. She explains how, in the beginning, Adam reminded her of her mom, because he was being selfish and cocky. She says he made her feel like she had no talent. She goes on to talk about the relationship with her mom, how she was always drinking and didn't have much time for her.
"You never really told me that," Will remarks.
"Nobody ever saw anything good in me until you came along. I mean, I never, I never believed in myself," she replies.
Later, as they lie in bed after making love, they discuss her music career. Will asks how he's going to see her when she goes on tour. She says he can ride along on the bus. She says every song she writes is going to be about him. A knock at the door disrupts their conversation. Will teases, saying it must be Adam coming to fire her.
A few minutes later, after he opens the door, he yells for Gwen to come see. "Make it fast!" he says. Looking worried, Gwen gets dressed to go see who is at the door. She's taken aback as she finds her cheerful mother standing at the door!
At Lakeview, while sitting with Luke, Jade spots the blonde-haired woman she seen Holden with the other day. Jade suggests to Luke that they leave.
At Holden and Lily's place, Holden calls the blonde, he says he'll meet her at Lakeview.
Moments later, Luke and Jade arrive. Holden gives Lily a kiss, saying he'll see her later, but before he leaves, she stops him, curious about the lipstick on the collar of his shirt!
"Lipstick on my shirt?"
"Yea, its right here," she shows him.
"How do you know its lipstick?" he asks.
Jade butts in telling Lily it's her lipstick. She says she got sloppy putting on her make-up.
After Lily and Luke leave the room, Holden heads for the door, but Jade stops him! She confronts him about the lipstick! "You and I both know I lied for you," she says. Holden asks what she wants from him, saying he didn't ask her to lie. She reveals that she saw him with the blonde at Lakeview. He claims it was business. She goes on to say when she saw the same blonde at Lakeview earlier she rushed Luke out so he wouldn't see. He expresses that he would appreciate it if she keeps this to herself!
After Holden leaves, Luke comes back in the room and asks Jade what's wrong. She informs him that it's none of his business.
At Java, Paul delivers a rose to Meg, then asks if he can join her. He apologizes for accusing her of having something with Craig. She says she knows what kind of man Craig is, and she doesn't need him to warn her. She goes on to say she makes life and death choices in the ER every day, so she's capable of handling Craig!
Later, Paul tells Meg since she was honest with him he wants to be honest with her. He says he loves her, but a part of him will never get over Roseanna. Paul expresses he knew Roseanna was in danger, but he doesn't believe he done enough to protect her from Craig. He says now that he's been given a second chance he'll do any thing to fight for and protect her (Meg). He explains Lucy has what it can take, because her testimony will put her father in jail. As he gets up to leave, Meg asks where he's going. He responds saying he wants to be there to see Lucy put Craig behind bars.
In the courtroom, the DA asks Lucy about her father paying Wayne Larson to kidnap her. She replies that's what she thought at the time, but now she's not sure! The judge reminds her what the whole purpose of the hearing is about, he asks if she's going back on her statement now. "No, she's not!" Dusty jumps up answering for her. The judge orders him to be quiet. Lucy apologizes for taking so long to answer. Again, Dusty jumps up, telling Lucy she knows the truth, not to be afraid to answer, not to be afraid of anything! Once again, the judge warns Dusty telling him not to speak again unless he's told to. He refuses to listen, asking the judge if he can tell him about his injuries. Craig's lawyer intervenes, reminding the judge it's not a trial, and Craig is not a witness. Dusty sits back down saying he'll give Lucy a chance to set the record straight.
The DA asks Lucy if she has anything further to add to her testimony. With tears in her eyes, she replies she doesn't have anything else to add. The judge asks if she's recanting her "sworn statement." She confirms. Craig's lawyer adds that since she's "recanting" her statement, Craig should be released. The judge agrees, dismissing the case. The judge adds, speaking to Lucy, telling her the next time she wants to punish her father to forget the courts and go see a therapist instead!
Once the case is dismissed, Dusty says to Craig, "I'm here, whatever you got planned. I'm ready for anything. Anything you got."
Later, outside the courtroom, Lucy apologizes to Dusty. She explains Craig already hurt him once, there's no telling what he'd do next. She says she couldn't risk that. In anger, Dusty says she let him down. He expresses that he's worried about Johnny. Before walking away, he reminds her that she promised him.
While Dusty walks away, Craig approaches Lucy and thanks her. He says he didn't realize how much she loves him. She pulls away looking toward Dusty, then back to Craig. "Your love means nothing to me. Don't flatter yourself about why I didn't push this case. I hate you! You make me sick!" Lucy says to Craig.
After everyone walks away, Paul approaches Lucy, he demands to know what just happened, saying he just seen Craig walk out! Lucy explains why she didn't testify. Paul, before walking away, says, "You have no idea what you've just done!
Back at Lakeview, Lily and Lisa talk over drinks. Lisa says she knows it's not her fault she was in a comma, but it's certainly one way to "pack on the pounds" she adds. "Oh, that makes me feel much better," Lily replies, without much enthusiasm. Lisa suggests she give herself a break. "It's not like you were just lying around ordering pizza, beer and drinks," Lisa continues. She advises her to learn to be patient, to be in the arms of her family and her "wonderful, handsome, adoring husband."
Holden walks into Lakeview, noticing Lily and Lisa. Quickly, he hides behind the wall and motions for the blonde, sitting at the bar, to come to him. He says they should go somewhere else, informing her that his wife is in there!
Dusty arrives home, finding a note from Barbara saying, "Now that Craig is no longer a threat, Chaz has taken Johnny to the children's museum while I run a few errands. See you back her later to celebrate."
Dusty crumples the note, throws it, then he heads for the safe! Opening the safe, he grabs a pistol! Confirming it's loaded, he places the clip back into the pistol!
Next on As the World Turns...
"Home never felt so good," Iris says, making herself at home.
Katie informs Simon and Carly that she has just finished the new pages of the re-release of "Oakdale Confidential," or what she likes to call "Sweet revenge."
Lucy walks in to find Dusty holding a pistol! In fear, she asks what he's doing!

Newly promoted Sgt. Maj. Steven P. Squires, of Troy, receives his new rank insignia from his wife, Sgt. 1st Class Melissa Squires, his two sons, Derek and David, and from Lt. Col. Christopher Mickan of the Guard's 70th Troop Command.
Bill Phelan
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. - A Missouri National Guard Soldier, Steven P. Squires, of Troy, was promoted to the rank of sergeant major during a ceremony Aug. 1 at the Joint Armed Forces Reserve Center at Jefferson Barracks in south St. Louis County.
Squires is the noncommissioned officer in charge of future operations for the 70th Troop Command, the largest brigade in the Missouri Guard.
A Veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Squires' military career spans nearly 30 years and includes deployments to Germany, Korea and Panama. After graduating from McCluer High School in 1982, Squires served in the active duty Army from 1983 to 1991 and then enlisted in the Army Reserve where he served for two years before joining the Missouri National Guard in 1993.
As a young recruit, Squires said he never imagined becoming a sergeant major.
"I joined the military as a young, knucklehead teenager who was spinning out of control," he said. "I needed the guidance, the leadership and the structure of the Army to get me away from some bad elements."
During his promotion ceremony, Squires' leadership was praised by Lt. Col. Christopher Mickan, Troop Command's administrative officer.
"This promotion is well-deserved," said Mickan. "Sgt. Maj. Squires' leadership and job performance has been well above and beyond my expectations. We have all come to rely on him quite a bit. There is nothing that we have thrown his way that he couldn't handle."
Squires thanked friends and fellow Soldiers who he credited with helping him throughout his military career. He also expressed gratitude for the support of his wife, Melissa, who also serves in the National Guard as a sergeant first class with the 835th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion.
Sgt. Maj. Squires and his wife are the proud parents of two boys, Derek and David. David recently enlisted in the National Guard and serves with the Warrenton-based 3175th Military Police Company.
Squires is the son of Ron and Sue Squires of Steelville.
