Here's Your Big Chance to Be a Yoga Model–Your Way: The So Hum Project.
So Hum: Self Expression Through Yoga
Model: Megan Windeler Photography: Faern
Yoga doesn't just happen on the yoga mat. If you're a yoga student, your practice goes with you during your commute, at the dinner table, and, yes, even when you're waiting for the train. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and Voila! Yoga! In fact, if you just broaden your definition of yoga a bit, there's a lot more yoga happening out on the streets than in yoga studios. I love seeing people practice in unconventional places.
As a yoga teacher, I can tell a lot about a person by watching their poses—their body's strengths and weaknesses. But I still think I can tell more about the essence of the person when I run into them on the sidewalk. People's personalities really shine through their choice of clothing, accessories, where they spend their time, and how they present themselves. Since yoga is really all about letting that essence, your authentic self, shine through into everything you do, I thought it would be fun to combine yoga, fashion, culture, and art.
So I teamed up with the fabulous yogi-artist Faern to find yogis practicing their yoga and highlight the beauty of their unique practice. Every month, we'll feature one stunning fabulous photograph of a yoga student practicing in a place and wearing clothes that she feels represents her true essence.
Come back often to see more inspiring yogis practicing yoga their way.
The above photo is our model for May 2011, Megan Windeler
"I am kinda a no-frills yogi. I love the practice. I love the holding the basic shapes for a long time, exploring the spaces until some deeper, more blingy variation grows." – Megan*
Yoga is deceptively simple. You unroll a mat and you stretch a little. What could be simpler than that?! But once you get into the practice you can see there's so much more beneath the surface. The poses are just a very small part. The simplest of poses can be extremely complex at the same time when you pay attention to the little nuances and the energy that make it special.
Like Megan, many of us see ourselves as no-frills yogis—the human equivalent of the simplest poses: Triangle, Warrior 2, Downward Dog. Through the practice of yoga, we get to know ourselves better. We notice how just one little tweak—a stronger grounding of the back foot or a more completely engaged thigh—can change everything. We feel the subtle shifts of energy inside of us. Suddenly, we see how that basic pose is more complex and amazing than we ever dreamed it could be. That's how transformation happens. In life, the yoga is in seeing that we are simple and complex at the same time—that we are perfectly imperfect no matter how we present ourselves in this world.
*Read a complete interview with Megan here.
So-Hum is a series of blog posts and photographs that celebrates individuality, style, and deep self-refection that naturally evolves from the practice of yoga. Models are asked to pose in everyday attire that expresses who they are as a person and yoga practitioner.
Would you like to take part in this project as a model? Please be in touch by emailing this address email@example.com and we'll send more information.

Hey Erica,
The Yoga Journal promoted my calendar Rebel Yogis: A Celebration of Students 2001. You may have seen it. The students posed in the postures of their lives. It was great fun and we are finally working on another one. So if you ever get to Nashville, look me up through <a href="http://www.acitveyoga.com" target="_blank">www.acitveyoga.com and we'll give you a great shot that will have you and your friends smiling. (and by the way, those calendars feature lots of men!)
How do you enter the yoga pix contest??
Delightful!! You are capturing the soul of yoga by doing this – and helping all of us to understand that the cover of YJ represents a very different reality … yay!
[…] Here's Your Big Chance to Be a Yoga Model–Your Way: The So Hum Project. […]

The Los Alamos Geological Society will host a banquet and talk at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Christian Church, featuring Dr. Paul Bauer, of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.
This talk is a geo-photo-journey down the northern Rio Grande, with an emphasis on the river hydrogeology and the evolution of the sublime landscape.
It will include some thoughts on the birth and adolescence of the river, where it gets its water and its system of springs.
They will also explore the geologic setting of rapids along the river, the Tertiary battles between water and lava and tidbits of riverside human history.
Bauer is a principal geologist and associate director at the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources at New Mexico Tech.
He received a doctorate in geology from New Mexico Tech in 1988. He served as manager of the state's Geologic Mapping Program for 12 years and was program coordinator for the New Mexico Decision-Makers Field Conferences for 10 years, a program designed to bridge the gap between earth scientists and policy makers.
Since his first Taos Box rafting trip in 1980, he has spent much of the last 30 years investigating the geology and hydrogeology of north-central New Mexico. He has led many field trips to the area, including educational whitewater rafting tours.

Vanuatu is an archipelago of 83 islands lying between New Caledonia and Fiji in the South Pacific. Largest of the islands is Espiritu Santo (875 sq mi; 2,266 sq km); others are Efate, Malekula, Malo, Pentecost, and Tanna.
The first settlers are believed to have arrived approximately 3,500 years ago from New Guinea and the Solomon Islands by canoe. The islands were sighted by Pedro Fernandes de Queiros of Portugal in 1606 and were charted by the British navigator James Cook in 1774, who named the archipelago New Hebrides, after the northern Scottish islands. Competing British and French claims to the islands led to the formation of a condominium government, allowing for joint British-French rule in 1906. The islands' plantation economy, based on imported Vietnamese labor, was prosperous until the 1920s, when markets for its products declined. Diseases brought by missionaries, sandalwood traders, and others helped reduce the population from approximately 1 million in 1800 to 45,000 in 1935. The islands served as a major Allied base in World War II. After the war, the indigenous Melanesians began lobbying for independence, which in 1980 the country achieved. It was then renamed Vanuatu.
A brief rebellion by French settlers and plantation workers on Espiritu Santo took place in May 1980. Britain, France, and Papua New Guinea sent soldiers, who quelled the revolt, which the new government said was financed by the Phoenix Foundation, a right-wing U.S. group.
In July 2002, former prime minister Barak Sope was convicted of forgery. Alfred Maseng was elected president in April 2004, but he was forced to step down when his criminal record was revealed. In Aug. 2004, Kalkot Mataskelekele was selected from 16 candidates as the new president. He is the country's first president to hold a university degree.
Prime Minister's Leadership Challenged in Court
Serge Vohor was elected prime minister in the summer of 2004. His tenure was brief; he was ousted in a vote of no confidence by Parliament in November after a controversial attempt to establish diplomatic relations with Taiwan. He was succeeded by Ham Lini. In elections in September 2008, the Vanuaaku Pati, led by Edward Natapei, won the most seats in Parliament. Natapei formed a coalition government and became prime minister. In November 2009, the Speaker of the House stripped Natapei of his seat in Parliament and thus disqualified him to serve as prime minister after Natapei did not show up for three consecutive meetings of Parliament and failed to submit paperwork explaining his absences. However, Vanuatu's chief justice ruled that the move was unconstitutional, and Natapei then survived a no confidence vote and remained in office.
Natapei suffered another test of his leadership when he was ousted in a no-confidence vote in 2010. Sato Kilman, the deputy prime minister, assumed the position. Natapei brought the case to the Supreme Court, which ruled on June 16, 2011, that the election of Sato Kilman was unconstitutional and installed Natapei as acting prime minister.
During Natapei's brief time as prime minister, he cancelled diplomatic recognition of Abkhazia, an order that Kilman had issued during his short period in charge. Then on June 26, 2011, Natapei's interim as prime minister ended. Parliament elected Sato Kilman as prime minister.
Lacking a Majority, Prime Minister Kilman Resigns
On March 21, 2013, Prime Minister Sato Kilman resigned. The previous day, Minister for Ni-Vanuatu Business Marcellino Pipite and Minister of Justice and Social Welfare Thomas Laken joined the Opposition in Parliament. Six government officials followed, leaving Kilman without the needed majority to continue to govern.
Kilman resigned before a no confidence motion was brought against him. He remained in charge of the interim government until his successor was named. On March 23, 2013, Moana Carcasses Kalosil became prime minister. A member of the Green Confederation party, Kalosil was the first naturalized citizen of Vanuatu to become prime minister.
Kalosil lost a no-confidence vote in Vanuatu's parliament by 35-11 votes in May 2014. That same month, Vanua'aku Pati party member Joe Natuman took over as prime minister.
In Sept. 2014, Anglican priest Baldwin Lonsdale was elected president by an electoral college made up of governors and members of parliament. The election was the longest in Vanuatu's history, lasting eight rounds before a candidate had a majority because of the conflict between Prime Minister Natuman's government and the opposition. During the lengthy election process, Philip Boedoro served as the interim president.
Category Five Cyclone Hits Vanuatu
A category five cyclone hits Vanuatu directly on March 14, 2015. Named Tropical Cyclone Pam, the storm carried heavy rainfall and damaging winds as strong as 168 miles per hour. At least 3,300 people sought shelter in 37 evacuation centers.
The following day, an official at the United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said that Cyclone Pam would likely be the South Pacific's worst natural disaster. "At least nine nations have experienced some level of devastation including Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Fiji, Tuvalu, and Papua New Guinea. Officials have yet to assess the damage in many of the hard-hit outer islands because communications and power remain cut," the UN official said. As of March 17, the death toll from the cyclone was 11, according to the UN, but the number was expected to rise as the rescue effort continued.

14, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended (the "Act"), on September 15,
2010, the Board of County Commissioners (the "Commission") of Carbon
County, Utah (the "Issuer") adopted a resolution (the "Resolution") in
which it authorized the potential issuance of the Issuer's Taxable
Excise Tax Revenue Bonds, in one or more series, in an aggregate
principal amount of not more than $1,500,000 (the "Bonds"), to bear no
interest, to mature in not more than 35 years from their date or

improvement, facility, or property for which the bonds pay all or a
part of the cost will have on the private sector. As Taxable Excise
Tax Revenue Bonds, no property taxes will be pledged for repayment of
the Bonds.
The Bonds, pursuant to the Resolution, and a Bond Resolution to be
adopted authorizing the sale of the Bonds, are to be issued for the
purpose of (i) financing the acquisition and construction of
Recreation Facilities, including Fairground Improvements and related
matters; (ii) paying costs associated with the issuance of the Bonds.
The Issuer proposes to pledge 100% of the Restaurant Tax Funds
received by Issuer pursuant to Title 59, Chapter 12, Part 6, Section
603(1)(a)(ii), Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, and for repayment
of the Bonds.

Clerk/Auditor from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, for
a period of at least 30 days from and after the last date of
publication of this notice.
NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that a period of 30 days after the last date
of the publication of this notice is provided by law during which any
person in interest shall have the right to contest the legality of the
Resolution, the Bond Resolution, the Bonds, or any provision made for
the security and payment of the Bonds by filing a verified written
complaint in the district court of the county in which he/she resides,
and that after such time, no one shall have any cause of action to
contest the regularity, formality or legality thereof for any cause
whatsoever. If written petitions which have been signed by at least
20% of the registered voters of the Issuer, are filed with the Issuer
during said 30-day period, the Issuer shall be required to hold an
election to obtain voter authorization prior to the issuance of the
Bonds. If fewer than 20% of the registered voters of the Issuer, file
a written petition during said 30-day period, the Issuer may proceed
to issue the Bonds without an election.
DATED this September 15, 2010.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- An accident involving two cars and a Reston Limousine shuttle bus headed to the Field School in the 4100 block of Nebraska Avenue NW in D.C. has injured several people. One boy was found outside the bus next to a broken window, and officials believe he may have been ejected from the bus.
D.C. firefighters tweeted (@IAFF36)that18 children were on the bus at the time. Fire officials reported that 5 people -- 3 adults and two children -- were transported by ambulance to the hospital. Sixteen people were transported via a mass ambulance bus as a precaution.
One of the people injured was the 51-year-old bus driver, who had a broken ankle. The drivers of the other two vehicles, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a sedan, were also transported to the hospital.
A crew at the scene says the bus was up on the grass by the National Presbyterian Center. The bus was shuttling teens from the Friendship Heights Metro station to the Field School.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.

Product Details
Honda Ridgeline 2012, Bed Mat by BedRug®. If your truck already has a drop-in or sprayed-in bed liner, gain the easy cleanup, padded surface and grippy texture of a BedRug polypropylene liner with a BedMat. Easy installation.
- Rugged Construction Handles Heavy Cargo
- Bleach, Oil Even Battery Acid Washes Off
- Comfortable Knee Friendly 1/2" Cushioned Floor
- Anti-Skid Surface Prevents Cargo From Shifting
- Engineered for Exterior Use
- Stain and UV Resistant
- Easily Cleaned With Just Water
- Fine for 5th wheels, just trim around mount
This is the most innovative and unique truck bed liner there is. You get the look and comfort of carpet, in an ultra-tough 100% polypropylene (essentially plastic) product. That means not only will it protect your truck bed from impact dings and damage, it will stand up to the harshest conditions you can throw at it: from gravel to battery acid, while still protecting your precious cargo and your knees!
Its non-skid surface keeps your cargo in place. The BedRug material is fade and UV resistant. Made of foam similar to that used in life jackets, it doesn't absorb water and will not mold or mildew. Water will simply run off the surface, through the zippered perimeter, out the factory drain holes in the truck bed and will dry in as little as 20 minutes.
A vacuum, broom, brush or compressed air can be used to remove dirt, grime, sand, mulch etc. Because water will not harm the BedRug, pressure washing is also an effective way to clean a soiled BedRug. Although most acids will not harm the BedRug, baking soda should be applied immediately to neutralize the acid to ensure the safety of the paint on the vehicle. To clean tougher jobs such as gasoline, oil, chemicals, acid spills or leaks from your BedRug use detergent soap with degreaser and water, then rinse thoroughly. This detergent soap is used in most car wash locations with pressure washing equipment. The BedRug polypropylene closed-cell foam will not absorb water and the polypropylene fiber dries in minutes.51.00 154.00
BedRug® is well known throughout the aftermarket, a name synonymous with high quality and innovation. Located in Old Hickory, Tennessee, BedRug got its start as a manufacturer of TPO foam (Thermoplastic PolyOlefin) composites. TPO foams offer a broad range of performance attributes, ranging from softness and flexibility to thermal stability - it is a closed cell construction, which will not absorb moisture, and is similar to the foam used in life jackets. It can be fabricated into a variety of parts that are suitable for exterior applications. Most importantly, it can be laminated to other substrates - and in BedRug's case, those additional materials include 100% polypropylene plastic non-woven "carpet" and the TPO composite that creates BedTred. BedRug is environmentally safe - BedRug products are manufactured from a recyclable TPO/polypropylene composite. All unusable polypropylene materials are recycled into pellets and used in a wide variety of consumer goods. In addition, BedRug products do not contain any prohibited or declarable substances on the Global Automotive Declarable Substance List (GADSL). BedRug was purchased by THI Corp. in 2009.

Doctore Keane really took the time to understand my issues. He ordered an MRI, and much to my relief, did not feel that surgery was required. He gave me physical therapy. I was able to get the pain eliminated from my lower back (bulging disc L4/L5). I will probably need surgery in the future, but want to wait for it. His approach to my situation, and me not wanting surgery yet, and his ability to fully explain all my options was fantastic.

Patient and understanding. Ordered MRI and physical therapy for my back and neck problems. Felt that he really wanted to solve my problem rather than giving me the feeling "that's the way it's going to be". My back is now about 90-95% back to normal. My neck is 99.9% back to normal.

James A. Loucks, 56, of 6643 Route 12, was sentenced to two consecutive one-year terms in county jail, with credit given for time already served, along with $250 in court fees on three counts of second-degree criminal contempt, to which he pleaded guilty Feb. 1.
Acting County Judge Donald E. Todd also issued new, five-year orders of protection on behalf of the victims.
Mr. Loucks was accused of violating previous court orders in early September by calling Rachel Loucks and sending letters to his children.
Also Friday in Lewis County Court:

RachelHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBest Blow Dryer EverMy hair frizzes out even with home conventional blow drying and hair straightening. The only time is stays smooth and straight is after I leave the hairdresser. I asked my hairdresser why my hair only stays straight after my hair appointment and she explained that you need a dryer that heats up to 450 degrees to seal the hair cuticle in order to keep the hairstyle intact. This hair dryer does just that. Even when I wake up the following morning after sleeping on my hair it is still straight. It also has been staying straight with no frizz after dealing with humid weather. My hair is almost too straight and shiny. I have VERY thick hair and it is naturally curly/dented and wavy without any rhyme or reason or style to it. This blow dryer makes it worth your time to do your hair!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

MichelleUnited StatesHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThe Best!!!This is by far the best hair dryer out there. I have thick wavy dark hair and this takes away all the fly-a-ways and frizz. Plus; it takes a fraction of the time to dry my hair as any other dryer I have used in the past. I have owned a T3 for years; until I purchased one of these and I came back and bought a second as a back up... Just in case... I don't want to ever be without one. I even gave one to my Mom as a gift. I hope you keep carrying it; because they are hard to find. Thanks.4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Sharing Memories (Week 13): More School Memories (Gr. 7 & 8)
Not everyone will have had the same school experiences that I did. I went to a different school between Grades 6 and 9, so that is what I want to talk about this week - memories of Intermediate Grades 7 & 8.
St. Andrews when it was first switched from a munitions factory to a school
In our little town of Ajax where I grew up, St Andrews was a school that only held 2 grades - 7 & 8. It was meant to combine the Grade 6 class from the "old" area of the town and the Grade 6 class from the "new" area. As the saying goes, I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Literally. The railroad tracks and a super highway (then called McDonald-Cartier Freeway, now known as Highway 401) divided our town.
The "new" area consisted of suburb type homes. The "old" area was wartime housing built for the women who worked in the munitions factory there in World War 2. There was definitely a class structure in place! New area kids did not usually mix with old area ones. We were the poor side of town, presumably not fit to enter the homes or play with those kids from the new side.
St. Andrews by the time I went to school there in Grades 7 & 8
So Grade 7 was somewhat traumatic! We old area kids knew we were going into a school where we were outnumbered by the snobby new area kids. It was a suprise to me that I actually mingled fairly well and made some good friends over the course of the next two years. So heading off to High School for Grade 9 was not as bad as I'd expected.
In Grades 7/8 I learned I was a decent enough singer to be chosen for Triple Trios. Anyone else remember those? And participating in the Provincial Wide Music Festivals? We did really well in one year, winning the Provincial title! But the only reason I did okay was that my best friend since Grade 3 was a very strong and good singer, and I always got to stand beside her! Without her, I'd have been wavering all over the alto part, unsure of how to stay in tune.
I managed to hang onto Janie's coattails all through our school lives, singing in choirs while her voice kept me on tune, playing French Horn (again sitting beside her) and having her French horn guide me to playing at the right time! Lots of fun and really good memories which I hope my children, grandchildren and other descendants will enjoy.

I bet you sung better than you thought but great that you had such a wonderful friend. I can't believe you played the french horn. I started the instrument in JR High too. To me that was the best time in school. Music.
After reading your mail I got the album out. I was there from 1955-56 & yes we did win the Durham County competition 2 yrs in a row. Mr, Pickering was the principle then. My homeroom teacher was Mr. Clarke. We all loved the the tiny,old singing teacher. She was always nice to the ton-deaf & let them sing,too. Only at the competion they had to mouth the words. We lived the farthest away from the right side of the tracks & only moved to the other side when I started at Ajax High-My brother just sold this house last week. I played the clarinet.We walked everywhere in those days & if you were lucky you had a bike.

@JoAnne - what memories! I cannot remember the names of any of my Gr 7/8 teachers or principal. I do have my report cards (I think!) and should dig them out to see what names are there. I loved that music teacher - do you remember her name?? She was so sweet.
I got anxious though when she would come around to your desk and put her ear to your mouth when everyone was singing! She wrote in one report card that I had a "pleasing alto voice" Hah! That changed big time :-)

LOWVILLE The new state FFA president and vice president likely will do plenty of carpooling through the upcoming year.
Thats because the two high school juniors hail from neighboring Lewis County school districts, with President Ashley L. Willits from Lowville Academy and Central School and Vice President Jake T. Ledoux from Beaver River Central School, Beaver Falls.
Jake and I have worked together through FFA, said Miss Willits, who lives near Copenhagen. Being so close just makes it all easier.
Ashley is like a sister to me, said Mr. Ledoux, a Belfort-area resident. Ive known her for years.
The two were elected to the leadership positions May 3 at the state FFA convention in Albion, Orleans County.
Despite their schools natural rivalry, the teens said they are looking forward to working in tandem to promote agriculture, visit with many of the states roughly 4,000 FFA members and serve as role models for younger students.
Jake and I are excited, because we get to give back to the members, Miss Willits said, adding that both schools have been very supportive of their efforts.
The Lowville Academy student, who has served as District 6 president for the past year, becomes the third straight north country resident to hold the presidency, following Belleville Henderson Central School students John W. Allen and Amanda A.V. Rhodes.
Her brother, Ryan Willits, also just ended a term as treasurer of the state association.
We come from a great area that supports agriculture education, said Melvin D. Phelps, father of the new state president and Lowville Academys agriculture teacher and FFA adviser.
Because of that, District 6 which includes the tri-county area has more delegates than any of the other nine state FFA districts, he said.
However, while the top two FFA positions were held by students at Belleville Henderson and Carthage central school districts a couple of years ago, Mr. Phelps said, he doesnt recall them ever being from neighboring schools.
Miss Willits is Lowvilles first-ever state FFA president, while Mr. Ledoux is Beaver Rivers first state officer since the schools agriculture program was reinstated in 2004 after a 12-year absence.
However, both boast a strong agricultural pedigree.
Miss Willitss mother, Jennifer Phelps, also is an agriculture teacher and FFA adviser at Carthage High School.
And Mr. Ledouxs parents, Steven W. and Michele E. Ledoux, work at Cornell Cooperative Extension offices in Jefferson and Lewis counties, respectively.
My family lives and breathes agriculture, the young Mr. Ledoux said.
His mother, executive director at the Lowville Extension office, commended her sons school, fellow students and teacher Tara Staring for their assistance and support.
This will be a great opportunity to promote agriculture and promote Lewis County, Mrs. Ledoux said.
Its a great honor, Mr. Phelps agreed.
Anyone interested in holding one of the six state FFA officer positions had to submit an extensive application with writing samples, then go to Syracuse for three days of interviews, including an improvised four-minute speech after 20 minutes of preparation time, Mr. Phelps said.
A nominating committee primarily of high school students or recent graduates judged the competitors, then developed a slate of candidates.
Miss Willits was the lone nominee for president, while Mr. Ledoux was nominated for secretary. However, contestants are allowed to seek one office higher than the one they were nominated for, and the Beaver River student chose to run for vice president instead.
In their new positions, Miss Willits and Mr. Ledoux will travel to events throughout the state, as well as to a couple of national FFA events.
They are beginning this weekend with a four-day conference at the Oswegatchie Educational Center in the town of Croghan, about 12 miles from the Ledoux residence.

TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson woman who arranged for her ex-boyfriend to be
fatally beaten has been sentenced to life in prison with parole possible after
25 years.
The Arizona Daily Star says 33-year-old Sara Golden
also was sentenced Monday to a consecutive five-year prison term for kidnapping.
She was convicted last month of first-degree murder and kidnapping in the death
of 30-year-old Jerry Lewis.
Pima County prosecutors say Lewis took a cab to Golden's house on Nov. 21,
2010. She allegedly told him she had broken up with another man and wanted to
After Lewis walked in the house, authorities say he was duct-taped and beaten
into unconsciousness.
He was stuffed into the back of a car and a forensic pathologist testified at
trial that Lewis died of positional asphyxiation.

In announcing on Monday afternoon that he was dropping Senator Dianne Feinstein's gun control bill from consideration by the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said, "Right now her amendment using the most optimistic numbers has less than 40 votes. That's not 60. I have to get something on the floor so we can have votes on that issue…" He added:
I'm not going to try to put something on the floor that won't succeed. I want something that will succeed. I think the worst of all worlds would be to bring something to the floor and it dies there.
Reid also said he was dropping from consideration Senator Charles Schumer's bill to expand background checks.
Feinstein noted her regrets, saying "I tried my best. I tried to make the case for it … obviously I'm disappointed … the enemies on this are very powerful."
Feinstein's bill would
ban the sale, transfer, manufacturing of importation of 150 specific firearms including semiautomatic rifles or pistols that can be used with a detachable or fixed ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and have specific military-style features, including pistol grips, grenade launchers or rocket launchers.
In introducing her bill in January, she continued to confuse the term "military assault weapons" with civilian semi-automatic weapons: "The common thread in each of these [recent] shootings is the gunman used a semi-automatic assault weapon [with] large capacity ammunition magazines. Military assault weapons only have one purpose and in my opinion, it's for the military."
Liberal lawyer Mark Kogan, writing at his blog policymic.com, said that Feinstein's introduction of a ban on these so-called assault weapons was dead on arrival in the Senate from the very beginning. In fact, he said, her bill has

Commandant of Midshipmen Reflects on Naval Academy Tour
Posted on: May 01, 2013 08:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
At the Naval Academy the end of the academic year is a time of celebration. Plebes will be plebes no more. Firsties look forward to graduation and the culmination of four intense years of training as everyone looks forward to summer.
For Commandant of Midshipmen Capt. Robert E. Clark II, Class of 1984, it's a bittersweet moment this year as he finishes his tenure as the Academy's 84th and longest serving Commandant.
"It's been great to be back home," said Clark, reflecting on what he's seen the Academy and the Midshipmen accomplish during his tour.
Which happens to be quite a lot.
The Naval Academy has consistently ranked among the top undergraduate schools in the country. Forbes rated the Academy as the 5th Best Public College in the nation out of more than 600 institutions. U.S. News & World Report placed the Naval Academy at the top of all public liberal arts schools. It also recognized the Academy as one of the top engineering programs in the nation and first choice among high school guidance counselors.
This year, nine Midshipmen were awarded prestigious postgraduate scholarships, including two Rhodes Scholars, two Marshall Scholars, two Fulbright Scholars, one Mitchell Scholar, one Gates Scholar and one Truman Scholar.
The Naval Academy added the Cyber Operations Major this year and still stands as the only school in the U.S. with a mandatory comprehensive cyber curriculum for all students. The Academy also ranks 4th among Division 1A schools for its 96 percent student-athlete graduation rate.
Under Clark's leadership, the Brigade of Midshipmen cut the number of alcohol and major conduct offenses in half; the number of honor offenses has been drastically reduced; the number of physical fitness deficiencies was reduced by about 60 percent; and the grade point average of the Brigade is the highest it has been in the school's history.
"When goals are set and standards are understood by all, it's amazing what an organization can achieve when it's process driven and personality independent," said Clark. "Success will breed success, and I think that is what we are seeing in the performance of the Brigade."
For Clark, it was important not to "dictate policy," but instead provide the Midshipman leadership the ability to see how what he calls "detractors from excellence" affected the brigade. He encouraged the midshipmen to take ownership and embody the term Shipmate; to be each other's keeper so to speak.
"It's about being able to educate, helping empower, and inspiring with a sense of accountability those who will come after us," said Clark.
He likened the Naval Academy to a sports team like the Baltimore Ravens and other organizations that realize sustained success by empowering and inspiring in order to achieve well defined goals while maintaining and enforcing high standards. Last year, the Ravens visited Annapolis to practice at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium, and Clark took the opportunity to speak to the future Super Bowl Champions. Clark and Ravens Coach John Harbaugh were teammates at Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Mich.
"He was a big, physical football player then, and even at an early age, it was clear he had a natural ability to lead," said Harbaugh, who described Clark as "one of the Naval Academy's more influential and accomplished leaders."
"There's no doubt in my mind that our team was absolutely made better through Captain Clark's talk," he said.
The reason a team like the Ravens is so successful and enduring is because of the community that supports it, said Clark.
"It not just because of the people who wear the uniform – football or military. They've both got great coaches, great doctors, great concessioners, field men, and a community of fans who support them," said Clark.
In the same way, the Naval Academy is not defined by the brick and mortar or the walls that surround the campus.
"Our Naval Academy family and our outreach is extensive, across the nation, across the world. We're all here for the same reason - the mentorship of our future," he said.
The term "family" is appropriate in more ways than one. Clark's two sons are currently attending the academy.
Midshipman 1st Class Andy Clark said the experience taught him a lot.
"Having my father as Commandant gave me a better understanding of professionalism and knowing where the boundaries are when a personal relationship exists with somebody in the work space," he said.
Andy Clark said his favorite memories of having his father as Commandant were also some of the hardest. Watching some of his friends be separated from the academy for failing grades or conduct offenses was difficult.
"He knew that these people were my friends and it would hurt me to see them leave, just as it hurt him to let them go," said Andy Clark. "In his position though he had to be sure that everyone was treated fairly and had to do the right - and not always easy - thing. I admired him very much for making those hard decisions."
" I admire him a lot for doing what is right and not necessarily the popular thing," said Midshipman 3rd Class Wes Clark. "I learned a lot from watching him lead, and it was nice having him around."
Clark said he is very proud of both his boys. Andy Clark is a Systems Engineering Major. He will graduate this May and serve in Navy Special Forces as an Explosives Ordnance Disposal (EOD) officer. Wes Clark is an Economics Major.
Whether talking about his sons or his other 4,500 sons and daughters within the Brigade training to be the next generation of military leaders, Clark's message is the same."If anyone questions our future or national soul, I tell them to come spend a day at the United States Naval Academy and get to know our Midshipmen," said Clark. "They will quickly see that our future is in great hands our national soul burns bright."

Source Explains Coaches Inability to Use Tebow
With the season circling the bowl, those in the Jets organization are getting a lot less shy about talking about what's gone wrong with this team this season. Since Tebow has been such a central part of things it's only fitting that folks are delving into why he was such a problem for the team. Here's some fascinating anonymous quotes in the Post.
"Rex [Ryan] and Tony [Sparano] had no idea how to use him," the source said.
A source said the Jets were shocked at how poor Tebow played in practice soon after he arrived. As Tebow struggled, McElroy improved and eventually gained the coaching staff's backing. So when Ryan decided to give Sanchez the hook this week, his trust was in McElroy.
There was also the "Tebowmania" factor. One source described the organization as "frozen with fear" that Tebow would actually excel, creating a quarterback controversy that would wreck Sanchez's psyche. Tebow wound up being more effective as the personal protector on the punt team than as an offensive player.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
The way the season has played out, none of these quotes surprise us but pretty much confirm what we already knew. That the Jets couldn't use him in a conventional capacity and couldn't get outside the box enough to figure out how to best use Tebow. That the Jets clung to playing Mark Sanchez half out of fear of what Tebow would do on the field and half out of fear of Tebow's incompetence — which seems hypocritical, cognitively dissonant and thus … very stupid.
I had advocated earlier in the season that the Jets needed to play Tebow more and let him throw the ball more as it would make him a better runner if the safeties feared he'd actually pass the ball. The Jets never took those chains off him completely and because they were unwilling to see outside the box it limited their use of him and their offense. That it took sixteen games for them to give him his first series is also laughable. Even so, they couldn't just go away from him entirely, which also seemed stupid. If they had no role for him, just say it won't work and move on. But maybe that's Ryan's cheerleader approach shining through again. For as bad as he was by the coaches reckoning, it wasn't bad enough to warrant calling him out publicly. Tebow wasn't that effective of a blocker on running plays and was a bad option in the passing game. The Jets coaching staff might have had Tebow foisted on them, but Ryan has always prided himself on using player's strengths … so it seems odd that he and Sparano didn't have the vision of how to use him in an effective manner all season.
Now it's just a matter of seeing how pays the price for it.

Looking Towards a New European Food Policy
06 May 14
Carlo Petrini
It will be a decisive moment for Europe. Between May 22 and 25, elections will be held for the European Parliament, the directly elected institution that defends the interests of the citizens of Europe within the European Union's decision-making processes. Carlo Petrini is sending the electoral candidates a message about the need for a transition from an exclusively "agricultural" policy to an "agricultural and food" policy.
Dear European Parliamentary Candidates,
The association I lead, Slow Food, promotes food that is "good, clean and fair;" food whose quality is not defined just by sensory parameters, but also environmental and social ones. We believe that the idea of food quality is very complex and that we must therefore take responsibility for safeguarding the heritage of biodiversity, culture and ancestral knowledge that makes the act of consciously feeding ourselves one of the fundamental pleasures of existence and a universal right. Everyone should be entitled to "good, clean and fair" food.
Europe is home to an extraordinary biodiversity, a genetic wealth that is also cultural, social and economic. Despite this, it has still not adopted satisfactory measures to protect it, putting at risk local plant varieties and animal breeds, products that feed the social fabric of communities and their small-scale economies. If biodiversity dwindles, so too do the possibilities for all European citizens to secure well-being and quality of life.
Slow Food believes that the main cause of the limitations of European policies when it comes to food is the lack of integration and coordination between different initiatives and sectors. Not enough attention is paid to the connections and overlaps between similar issues and the actors involved. At a European level it is therefore necessary to analyze and regulate the food system holistically, in an interdisciplinary way, strengthened by a perspective that takes into account all the complexity of the system itself.
To date, the issues linked to the food system have mostly been governed by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), while other measures that heavily influence the food system are regulated separately, almost always generating contradictory results.
To achieve better coordination, it is therefore necessary for European policies to formalize and structure their sphere of action, expressing a more complete vision (a holistic one, to be precise) and effecting a transition from an exclusively "agricultural" policy to a policy that can be defined as "agricultural and food," and which is based on the values of sustainability, biodiversity protection, the preservation of natural resources and inclusive development.
Different EU policies must be better integrated in order to efficiently tackle cross-cutting issues like energy, environmental and natural resource protection, climate change, employment, public health, the development of local economies, infrastructure creation and international development aid. Cross-cutting issues need cross-cutting tools, in other words a "new European food policy." It is therefore necessary to promote and support a food system that is more conscious of local products, local cultures and community needs. A system that gives the right value back to food, respecting those who produce it, those who eat it and environmental well-being. Too often the value of food is connected only to its price, to its value from a purely commercial perspective, but that is not accurate. There is so much more.
Slow Food is asking all the candidates for the European Parliament to have the courage to imagine a different Europe, a Europe in which access to "good, clean and fair" food is not a privilege for the few, but the right of everyone. For this to happen, it is necessary that you commit to putting the promotion of this new European food policy at the center of your electoral agendas and your political activities.
We ask those of you who are elected to accompany the future European Commission along the path towards a Common Food Policy. In this regard, the vote of European parliamentarians to elect the new president of the European Commission will play a fundamental role. We also ask you to ensure that this process and all the debates relating to the food system are carried out in complete transparency, and that the Parliament fully embraces its responsibilities and decision-making powers in relation to other European institutions.
If this is the Europe that you want too, say it loud and clear, and tell us, by writing to firstname.lastname@example.com.

OGDENSBURG – Claxton Hepburn Medical Center has purchased the Wound Healing Center at 100 Horwood Place from real-estate developer Richard E. Maginn for $1.85 million.
Mr. Maginn, owner of Heritage Homes in Massena, had previously leased the nearly 10,000-square-foot building off Ford Street Extension to the hospital since its construction in 2008.
When the building was built, part of our agreement was a lease with the opportunity to purchase the building at the five year mark, Medical center spokeswoman Laura C. Shea said.
Were happy with the building itself and the services we have in that building, Mrs. Shea said. We felt no reason not to exercise that option.
While leasing the building the hospital was responsible for maintenance, heating and lighting the building and paying taxes.
Claxton Hepburn purchased the building on March 28, Mr. Maginn said.
The building houses the Rev. Thomas T. Patterson Wound Healing Center, the Claxton-Hepburn Health Center and the aquatic therapy swimming pool.
In 2012 the wound healing center received roughly 6,500 visits, Mrs. Shea said.
The wound center is equipped with two hyperbaric chambers, allowing patients to breath 100 percent oxygen and speed up their bodys natural healing process.
2012 also saw nearly 10,000 visits to the health center, Mrs. Shea said, a number the hospital expects will increase in 2013 as the center adds staff.
On April 2 the health center saw a family nurse practitioner, Christine Buckley, join Dr. Jose Menga and pediatric nurse practitioner Rita Crowley in an effort to expand the centers services.
Because both Dr. Menga and Mrs. Crowley specialize in pediatrics, the addition of a family nurse practitioner will allow the center to serve more of the community, Mrs. Shea said.
With Claxton Hepburn Medical Center, a tax-exempt organization, taking over ownership of the building the city will no longer collect taxes from the property, Mrs. Shea said. The impact this will have on the city could not be assessed as of press time.
